                                AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           Quarters and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999


1.       Organization and Nature of Business:

         CNL American  Properties  Fund, Inc. ("APF" or the "Company") is a real
         estate  investment  trust  ("REIT")  that  provides  a  full  range  of
         financial,  development,  advisory  and other real  estate  services to
         operators of national and regional restaurant chains.

         In June,  the Company formed a partnership by the name of CNL Franchise
         Network,  L.P. ("CFN") and transferred certain assets and operations to
         it in exchange for a combined general and limited partnership  interest
         of 84.39%. Limited partnership interests amounting to 9.18% were issued
         to Bank of America in exchange for Bank of America's  franchise finance
         business  unit  based  in  Atlanta,   Georgia.  In  addition,   limited
         partnership  interests  amounting to 6.43% were issued to CNL Financial
         Group, Inc., an affiliate of a director of the Company, in exchange for
         the operations of a company that specialized in merger, acquisition and
         other advisory services to restaurant operators.  CFN accounted for the
         issuance  of  the  Bank  of  America  and  CNL  Financial  Group,  Inc.
         partnership  interests  at the fair value of the assets  acquired.  The
         excess of the  purchase  price over the fair value of the net  tangible
         assets acquired of  approximately  $17 million was recorded as goodwill
         and is being amortized over a period of 20 years.

         In  addition  to  forming  the  partnership,  CFN also  entered  into a
         Strategic Alliance  Agreement as well as additional  mortgage warehouse
         and other credit  facilities with Bank of America and its affiliates as
         described  below.  Among  other  provisions,   the  Strategic  Alliance
         Agreement  provides  the Company  with the ability to offer  additional
         financial related products and services to the restaurant  operators it
         serves as well as access to the portfolio lending capabilities provided
         by Bank of America.

         The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
         CFN. Minority  interests  include the minority  partners  proportionate
         share of the equity in the partnership.

2.       Basis of Presentation:

         The accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements have been
         prepared in accordance  with the  instructions  to Form 10-Q and do not
         include  all  of the  information  and  note  disclosures  required  by
         generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  The financial  statements
         reflect all adjustments,  consisting of normal  recurring  adjustments,
         which are, in the opinion of management,  necessary to a fair statement
         of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for
         the  quarter  and  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 may not be
         indicative  of the  results  that may be  expected  for the year ending
         December  31,  2000.  Amounts as of December  31, 1999  included in the
         financial   statements,   have  been  derived  from  audited  financial
         statements as of that date.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           Quarters and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999


2.       Basis of Presentation-Continued:

         These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with
         the financial  statements  and notes thereto  included in the Company's
         Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1999.  Certain  items in the
         prior year's  financial  statements  have been  reclassified to conform
         with the 2000 presentation.  These  reclassifications  had no effect on
         stockholders' equity or net earnings.

3.       Credit Facility:

         At the time of the strategic alliance with Bank of America, the Company
         terminated  its $300 million line of credit and entered into a new $125
         million unsecured revolving credit facility and a $175 unsecured bridge
         financing.  The  $175  million  bridge  facility  was  repaid  from the
         proceeds of the net lease  securitization  leaving the Company with the
         $125 million  revolving  credit  facility (the "Credit  Facility").  At
         September 30, 2000, the outstanding  balance on the Credit Facility was
         $71 million.  In connection  with  obtaining the Credit  Facility,  the
         Company  incurred  commitment  fees,  legal fees and  closing  costs of
         approximately $2 million which were  capitalized.  Interest on advances
         under the Credit Facility is determined  according to (i) a tiered rate
         structure  between 175 and 215 basis points above LIBOR (based upon the
         Company's  overall leverage ratio) or (ii) the lenders' prime rate plus
         0.25%, whichever the Company selects at the time of each advance.

         The principal  balance,  together with all unpaid  interest,  is due in
         full upon  termination  of the Credit  Facility on June 15,  2002.  The
         Company  believes,  based on current terms,  that the carrying value of
         its Credit Facility at September 30, 2000 approximates fair value.

         In June  1999,  in  connection  with the Line of  Credit,  the  Company
         entered  into an  interest  rate swap  agreement.  In April  2000,  the
         Company  terminated this swap agreement relating to the Line of Credit,
         and purchased a two year interest rate cap for a $200,000,000  notional
         principal balance (the "Cap").  The purpose of the Cap is to reduce the
         impact of rising  interest  rates on its floating rate debt. The amount
         paid to the Company is equal to  $200,000,000  multiplied  by LIBOR for
         the periods  outlined above. In August 2000, the Company used a portion
         of the proceeds to reduce the notional  amount of the interest rate cap
         to  $100,000,000.   The  combination  of  the  Cap  and  the  Company's
         obligation  result in the Company  paying  interest at a variable  rate
         plus the spread above LIBOR on up to  $100,000,000  of the  outstanding
         line of credit  balance for  periods  when LIBOR is below  7.50%.  When
         LIBOR reaches 7.50%,  the Company receives the spread above LIBOR on up
         to $100,000,000.

           Quarters and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999


4.       Mortgage Warehouse Facilities:

         At  September  30,  2000,  the  Company  had  two  mortgage   warehouse
         facilities  with a total  borrowing  capacity of $1 billion  ("Mortgage
         Warehouse  Facilities").  Both of these Mortgage  Warehouse  Facilities
         enable the  Company  to  provide  net lease or  mortgage  financing  to
         franchised businesses and periodically securitize the loans through the
         securitization  market.  One of the facilities  bears interest at LIBOR
         plus 90 basis points per annum and the other facility bears interest at
         LIBOR plus 75 basis  points per annum.  As of  September  30,  2000 the
         weighted  average  interest  rate for the two  facilities  approximated
         7.24%.  After  consideration of the Company's  interest rate swaps, the
         effective  weighted average  interest rate for the outstanding  balance
         relating  to the two  Mortgage  Warehouse  Facilities  was  7.79% as of
         September   30,  2000.  As  of  September  30,  2000  the  Company  had
         approximately  $148 million  outstanding under these Mortgage Warehouse
         Facilities.  The Company  believes,  based on current  terms,  that the
         carrying value at September 30, 2000 approximates fair value.

5.       Subordinated Note Payable:

         In June 2000,  CFN, a limited  partnership  in which the Company has an
         84.39%  interest,   entered  into  a  $43,750,000  senior  subordinated
         convertible  note payable  ("Subordinated  Note  Payable") with Bank of
         America which provides the Company  additional  working capital and the
         ability to receive  advances to purchase and develop  properties and to
         fund mortgage  loans.  This note is subordinated to the existing senior
         debt  of the  Company.  The  principal  amount  outstanding  under  the
         Subordinated  Note  Payable  shall bear  interest at a rate of 8.5% per
         annum  payable  quarterly.  The  principal  balance,  together with all
         unpaid interest, is due in full upon maturity of the note in June 2007.
         The Company  believes,  based on current terms, that the carrying value
         of its  Subordinated  Note Payable at September  30, 2000  approximates
         fair value.

         As more  fully  described  above,  Bank  of  America  holds  a  limited
         partnership  interest  in CFN.  The  Subordinated  Note  Payable  has a
         conversion  feature  to  allow  the  bank,  subsequent  to a  specified
         conversion  date,  to  have  the  outstanding  note  converted  into an
         additional 19.94% limited partnership interest in CFN.

6.       Stockholders' Equity:

         As  consideration  in its  acquisition on September 1, 1999 of CNL Fund
         Advisors,  Inc.  ("Advisor"),  CNL  Financial  Services,  Inc.  and CNL
         Financial  Corporation and subsidiaries (the "CNL Restaurant  Financial
         Services  Group"),  the Company paid 6.15 million  shares.  Of the 6.15
         million  shares  issued,  1.0  million  were being held in escrow.  The
         shares held in escrow will be  released to the former  stockholders  of
         the Advisor and

                                AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           Quarters and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999


6.       Stockholders' Equity-Continued:

         the CNL Restaurant  Financial  Services Group based on the value of the
         restaurant  properties  acquired,  mortgage loans made and  development
         projects   completed  by  the  Company.   As  of  September  30,  2000,
         approximately   508,700   shares  were  released   from  escrow,   with
         approximately 491,300 shares remaining.

7.       Bonds Payable:

         In August of 2000, the Company issued Triple Net Lease Mortgage  Bonds,
         Series  2000-A.  The  bonds  have an  aggregate  principal  balance  of
         $280,906,000.  Collateral for the bonds consists of 257 commercial real
         estate  properties  leased to tenants  for  operation  as  restaurants.
         Interest  on  $103,706,000  (Class  A-1) of bond  principal  is payable
         monthly at 7.721% and  interest  on  $177,200,000  (Class  A-2) of bond
         principal balance is payable monthly at 8.044%.  Under the terms of the
         bond  indenture,  monthly  lease  payments  received  from  tenants and
         available for debt service are  generally  required to be applied first
         to payment of  interest  on both Class A-1 and A-2,  then to payment of
         principal  on Class A-1 and then to payment of  principal on Class A-2.
         If  payments by the tenants on the leased  properties  are  received as
         expected with no defaults or early terminations, it is anticipated that
         the Class A-1 bonds will have a final  payment  date in August 2009 and
         the Class A-2 bonds will have a final payment date in April 2017.

         These  payment  assumptions  are  expected  to result in the  following
         approximate principal reductions as of July 25 of each of the following
         years:


                          2001                     $  6,200,000
                          2002                        6,200,000
                          2003                        8,300,000
                          2004                        9,300,000
                          2005                       11,400,000

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

         The  following   information,   including,   without  limitation,   the
Quantitative  and  Qualitative  Disclosures  About  Market  Risk,  that  are not
historical  facts,  may be  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. These statements generally are characterized by the use of
terms such as "believe,"  "expect" and "may." 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. Factors that might cause
such a difference include:  changes in general economic  conditions,  changes in
real  estate  conditions,  availability  of capital  from  borrowings  under the
company's credit facilities, the availability of other debt and equity financing
alternatives,  increases in interest  rates under the company's  current  credit
facilities and under any  additional  variable rate debt  arrangements  that the
company  may enter into the  future,  the  ability of the  company to  refinance
amounts  outstanding  under its credit facilities at maturity on terms favorable
to the company,  the ability of the company to locate  suitable  tenants for its
restaurant  properties  and  borrowers  for its mortgage  loans,  the ability of
tenants and borrowers to make payments under their  respective  leases,  secured
equipment  leases or  mortgage  loans,  the  ability of the  company to re-lease
properties  that are  currently  vacant or that become vacant and the ability of
the company to securitize  mortgage loans on a favorable and timely basis. Given
these  uncertainties,  readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
statements.


Organization and Nature of Business

         CNL  American  Properties  Fund,  Inc.  ("APF" or the  "Company")  is a
self-advised real estate investment trust ("REIT") that provides a full range of
financial,  development, advisory and other real estate services to operators of
national and regional  restaurant  chains.  At September 30, 2000, the Company's
servicing portfolio approximated 2,400 properties (the "Properties")  (including
restaurant  mortgage  loans  serviced  for  third  parties).  APF had  financial
interests  in 1,333  properties  diversified  among more than 80 operators in 41
states.  The  Company's   portfolio  included  713  properties   represented  by
investment in real estate  mortgage loans and  properties  subject to leases and
620 properties secured by mortgage loans in which APF holds a residual interest.

         In June, the Company formed a partnership,  CNL Franchise Network, L.P.
("CFN" or the  "Partnership")  and  contributed  certain  assets  and  operating
activities  in exchange for an 84.39%  interest.  The  Partnership  subsequently
entered into a strategic  alliance with Bank of America,  the largest commercial
bank in the United States.  Bank of America  contributed  its franchise  finance
originations  group in  exchange  for a 9.18%  interest in the  Partnership.  In
addition to contributing its originations group, Bank of America also provided a
$500 million  warehouse  credit  facility,  a $43.75 million  subordinated  debt
facility,  a $175 million bridge financing and served as administrative agent on
a $125 million  revolving credit facility.  The strategic  alliance with Bank of
America broadens the Company's financial products and offerings and enhances the
Company's  securitization  platform thereby  reducing the Company's  reliance on
public equity markets.

         In  addition,  limited  partnership  interests  amounting to 6.43% were
issued to CNL Financial Group,  Inc., an affiliate of a director of the Company,
in exchange for the  operations  of CNL Advisory  Services,  Inc.  ("CAS").  CAS
specializes in providing  merger,  acquisition  and other  advisory  services to
restaurant operators and rounds out the Company's services to the sector.

         The Bank of America and CNL Advisory Services,  Inc.  transactions were
accounted  for at the fair  value of the  assets  acquired.  The  excess  of the
purchase  price  over the fair  value of the net  tangible  assets  acquired  of
approximately  $17 million was recorded as goodwill and is being  amortized over
twenty years. The condensed  financial  statements  include the accounts of CFN.
Minority  interests include the minority  partners'  proportionate  share of the
equity in the partnership.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company originated
$210.1 million of restaurant real estate financing,  consisting of $82.8 million
in net lease financing and $127.3 in mortgage debt financing.

         Beginning with the strategic alliance with Bank of America, the Company
transitioned its financing  platform for net lease originations from a portfolio
approach to a securitization  approach.  Historically,  the Company has provided
long-term  triple-net lease financing and held the property on its balance sheet
until  maturity.  Because  of the  challenges  related to  recycling  sufficient
capital  to  successfully  build  volume  levels,   the  Company,   through  its
partnership  with Bank of America,  developed a financial  product for franchise
restaurant  operators  that permits the Company to  securitize  the related cash
flows. The $1 billion warehouse credit facilities enables the Company to finance
restaurant  operators with either a securitizable  net lease or debt product and
then recycle this capital  through  securitization  to provide future  franchise
financings.

Capital Resources

         At September 30, 2000, CFN maintained two mortgage warehouse facilities
with a total borrowing capacity of $1 billion ("Mortgage Warehouse Facilities").
Both of these  Mortage  Warehouse  Facilities  enable the Company to provide net
lease or mortgage financing to restaurant operators.  CFN had approximately $148
million in financing outstanding on the two facilities at September 30, 2000.

         The  Partnership  also  maintained  a $500  million  off-balance  sheet
commercial  paper  facility that was terminated in October of 2000. In addition,
and as a result of the  strategic  alliance  with Bank of  America,  the Company
transferred $172 million in loans from the off-balance  sheet facility to one of
its  Mortgage  Warehouse   Facilities.   The  anticipated   termination  of  the
off-balance  sheet  facility  resulted  in an  unrealized  holding  loss of $3.8
million.

         The Mortgage  Warehouse  Facilities bear interest on a weighted-average
basis of  approximately  89 basis points above LIBOR.  As of September 30, 2000,
the weighted  average interest rate for the two facilities  approximated  7.24%.
CFN has entered into several  interest rate swaps  agreements to hedge a portion
of the interest  rate risk relating to a portion of the  outstanding  balance at
September  30,  2000.  CFN believes  that its interest  rate risk related to the
Mortgage  Warehouse  Facilities  has  been  partially  mitigated  by the  use of
interest  rate swaps.  The  effective  weighted  average  interest  rate for the
outstanding balance related to the Mortgage Warehouse Facilities as of September
30, 2000 was 7.79%.

         In August 2000,  the Company  issued Triple Net Lease  Mortgage  Bonds,
Series  2000-A.  The net-lease  securitization  resulted in the Company  selling
$280.9  million  in  bonds,  the  proceeds  of  which  were  used  to  pay  down
shorter-term  debt and more  appropriately  match maturities of long-term assets
with  long-term  liabilities.  The bonds are  collateralized  by 257 real estate
properties leased to national and regional restaurant operators.  The bonds were
rated and classified into different  classes  resulting into a weighted  average
interest  rate of 8.82% and have a weighted  average life of 10.13 years.  Under
the terms of the bond  indenture,  monthly lease payments  received from tenants
and  available  for debt  service  are  generally  required to be applied to the
senior  bonds.  The  indenture  relating to the bonds  provides  for an optional
redemption of the bonds at their remaining  principal balance when the remaining
amounts  due under the leases  that serve as  collateral  for the bonds are less
than 10 percent of the aggregate initial amounts due under the leases.

         At the time of the strategic alliance with Bank of America, the Company
terminated  its $300  million line of credit and entered into a new $125 million
unsecured  revolving credit facility and a $175 unsecured bridge financing.  The
$175  million  bridge  facility  was repaid  from the  proceeds of the net lease
securitization  leaving  the  Company  with the $125  million  revolving  credit
facility (the "Credit Facility"). At September 30, 2000, the outstanding balance
on the Credit Facility was $71 million.  In connection with obtaining the Credit
Facility,  the Company incurred commitment fees, legal fees and closing costs of
$2  million  which  were  capitalized.  Interest  on  advances  under the Credit
Facility is determined  according to (i) a tiered rate structure between 175 and
215 basis points above LIBOR (based upon the Company's  overall  leverage ratio)
or (ii) the lenders' prime rate plus 0.25%, whichever the Company selects at the
time of each advance.

         The principal  balance,  together with all unpaid  interest,  is due in
full upon  termination  of the Credit  Facility  on June 15,  2002.  The Company
believes, based on current terms, that the carrying value of its Credit Facility
at September 30, 2000 approximates fair value.

         In October 1999,  the Company  entered into a secured  credit  facility
(the "Secured Credit Facility") in the amount of $147,000,000  which will expire
in October 2002. The proceeds of the Secured Credit  Facility are intended to be
used for property  acquisitions.  Borrowings  under the Secured Credit  Facility
bear interest at the rate of commercial paper plus 56 basis points per annum. As
of September  30, 2000,  the interest  rate on the Secured  Credit  Facility was
6.72%,   outstanding   borrowings   under  the  Secured  Credit   Facility  were
approximately  $85.6 million and the Secured Credit Facility was  collateralized
by mortgages on 81 Properties and an assignment of rents.

         The Company has initiated  several  interest rate swap  agreements with
which it hedges the majority of the  outstanding  balance at September  30, 2000
against  fluctuations in interest rates.  The Company believes that its interest
rate risk related to the Secured  Credit  Facility has been mitigated by the use
of interest rate swaps. The effective interest rate for the outstanding  balance
relating to the Secured  Credit  Facility as of September 30, 2000 was 6.99% per
annum.

         In June 2000, CFN entered into a $43,750,000  senior  subordinated note
payable  ("Subordinated  Note  Payable") with Bank of America which provides CFN
additional  working capital and the ability to receive  advances to purchase and
develop  properties and to fund mortgage loans. This note is subordinated to the
existing senior debt of the Company.  The principal amount outstanding under the
Subordinated  Note Payable  bears  interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum  payable
quarterly.  The principal balance,  together with all unpaid interest, is due in
full upon  maturity  of the note in June 2007.  The Company  believes,  based on
current  terms,  that the  carrying  value of its  Subordinated  Note Payable at
September 30, 2000 approximates fair value.

         As  previously  stated,  Bank of  America  holds a limited  partnership
interest in CFN, which was issued as a result of Bank of America's  contribution
of its franchise finance originations group. In addition,  the Subordinated Note
Payable has a conversion feature that allows the bank, subsequent to a specified
conversion  date, to have the note converted  into an additional  19.94% limited
partnership interest in CFN.

Interest Rate Risk

         As of September 30, 2000, the Company had $71,000,000,  $85,616,992 and
$147,893,500 outstanding under its Credit Facility,  Secured Credit Facility and
Mortgage  Warehouse  Facilities,  respectively.  The  Company  has  exposure  to
interest rate risk associated with the Credit Facility,  Secured Credit Facility
and Mortgage  Warehouse  Facilities  due to the  variable  interest  rates.  The
Company believes this risk has been partially  mitigated with interest rate swap
agreements and an interest rate cap agreement to reduce the impact of changes in
interest rates on its floating rate debt.

         The Company invests in certain  financial  instruments that are subject
to various forms of market risk such as interest rate fluctuations,  credit risk
and prepayment  risk. The Company believes that its primary exposure is the risk
of loss that may result from the  potential  change in the value of its mortgage
loans  held for sale and  investments  held for sale as a result of  changes  in
interest rates.

         Generally,  from the time the fixed-rate  mortgage loans are originated
and held  until the time they are sold  through a  securitization,  the  Company
hedges  against  fluctuations  in interest  rates  through the use of derivative
financial  instruments  (primarily  interest rate swap  contracts).  The Company
terminates  certain  of  these  contracts  upon  securitization  of the  related
fixed-rate  mortgage loans and, at that time,  both the gain or loss on the sale
of the loans and the gain or loss on the  termination  of the interest rate swap
contracts  will be measured  and  recognized  in the  consolidated  statement of
operations.  Under interest rate swaps, the Company agrees with other parties to
exchange,  at  specified  intervals,   the  difference  between  fixed-rate  and
floating-rate  interest  amounts  calculated  by  reference  to an  agreed  upon
notional principal amount.

         Management  estimates that a one percent increase in long-term interest
rates as of September 30, 2000, would result in a corresponding  decrease in the
fair  value of its  fixed  rate  loans and  investments  of  approximately  $7.5
million.  This decline in fair value would be partially offset by an increase in
the fair value of certain  interest  rate swap  positions  of $4.2  million.  In
addition,  a one  percent  increase  in short term  interest  rates for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 would have resulted in additional interest costs
of approximately $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This
sensitivity  analysis contains certain simplifying  assumptions (for example, it
does not  consider  the impact of changes in  prepayment  risk or credit  spread
risk).  Therefore,  although it gives an indication of the Company's exposure to
interest  rate  changes at  September  30,  2000,  it is not intended to predict
future results and the Company's actual results will likely vary.

Capital Commitments

         In  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  the  16  Properties   under
construction  or  renovation  at September  30, 2000,  the Company  entered into
development  agreements with tenants which provide terms and  specifications for
the  construction or renovation of buildings the tenants have agreed to lease or
equipment financing the Company has agreed to provide.  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.

         In the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the  Company  has  outstanding
commitments  to qualified  borrowers  and tenants that are not  reflected in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  These commitments, if
accepted by the potential  borrowers,  obligate the Company to provide  funding.
The accepted and  unfunded  commitment  totaled  approximately  $172,835,000  at
September 30, 2000 of which  approximately  $13,671,300  has been incurred as of
September 30, 2000. The primary source of funding will be the Mortgage Warehouse
Facilities  augmented by the Subordinated Note Payable,  the Credit Facility and
the Secured Credit Facility.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

         At  September  30,  2000  and  December  31,  1999,   the  Company  had
$33,521,029 and $46,011,592,  respectively, invested in short-term highly-liquid
investments  such as demand deposits at commercial  banks and money markets with
less than a 30-day maturity date.

Liquidity Requirements

         The  Company  expects to meet its  short-term  liquidity  requirements,
other than for  acquisition  and  development  of Properties  and  investment in
Mortgage  Loans  and  Secured  Equipment  Leases,  primarily  through  cash flow
provided by operating  activities and the Company's  Credit Facility and Secured
Credit  Facility.  These  short-term  liquidity  requirements  consist of normal
recurring   operating   expenses,   regular   debt  service   requirements   and
distributions  to  stockholders.  The Company  also  intends to meet  short-term
liquidity  requirements for funding of property  acquisitions and loans prior to
securitization  using its Mortgage Warehouse  Facilities to fund the acquisition
of Mortgage  Loans and  Properties.  The Company will use the proceeds  from the
subsequent  securitization  of these  Mortgage Loans and Properties to repay the
Mortgage Warehouse Facilities.

         The  Company  expects to meets its longer term  liquidity  requirements
through  a  combination  of  periodic  securitizations  of  mortgage  loans  and
triple-net  leases and short and long-term debt  financing or equity  financing.
Periodic securitization is an effective method for accessing capital and results
in the Company being less dependent on equity markets. In addition,  the Company
will continue to evaluate an eventual  listing of the Company's stock on the New
York Stock  Exchange,  which could permit the Company access to additional  debt
and equity capital.  As of November 8, 2000, the Company's  long-term  liquidity
requirements  include the  maturities  of its Mortgage  Warehouse  Facilities in
2001,  Credit Facility in 2002,  Secured Credit  Facility in 2002,  Subordinated
Note Payable in 2007 and Bonds Payable through 2017.

         The Company has 100 percent  interest in  subsidiaries  (including  CNL
Funding 2000-A,  LP, CNL Funding  2001-A,  LP, and CNL Restaurant Bond Holdings,
LP) or investments  in entities  (including CNL Funding 99-1, LP and CNL Funding
98-1,  LP) that were or may be  established  as  bankruptcy  remote  entities to
facilitate asset securitization.  In connection  therewith,  assets have been or
will be  transferred  directly or  indirectly  by the Company or an affiliate to
such  subsidiaries or entities.  These  bankruptcy  remote entities are separate
legal entities whose assets are not available to satisfy the claims of creditors
of the Company, any subsidiary or any other affiliates.

         During the nine months ended  September 30, 2000, the Company used cash
from  operations  (which  includes  cash  received from tenants and interest and
other income received,  less cash paid for operating expenses and funds used for
investment  in mortgage  loans) of  $49,906,204.  During the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1999, the Company  generated cash from  operations of $39,347,255.
As a result of the merger with CNL  Financial  Services,  Inc. and CNL Financial
Corporation and subsidiaries,  (collectively, "CNL Restaurant Financial Services
Group"), the Company became subject to Generally Accepted Accounting  Principles
which require that the Company's  investment in Mortgage  Loans be classified as
an  operating  activity  for  financial  reporting  purposes.  If the  Company's
investment  in  mortgage  loans were  excluded  from the nine  months  operating
activities,  the Company would have  generated an additional $33 million in cash
proceeds.  The Company  declared and paid  distributions  to its stockholders of
$49,747,192 and $43,496,424  during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999,  respectively.  No  amounts  distributed  or  to  be  distributed  to  the
stockholders  as of November 8, 2000, 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.  The  Company  intends to  continue  to make
distributions on a quarterly basis to its stockholders.

Results of Operations

         The  Company's  financial  performance  in the  third  quarter  of 2000
resulted in $3.6  million in net income as compared to a $66.2  million net loss
in 1999.  Net income for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000  increased to
$11.6  million  compared to a $43.3  million loss for the  comparable  period in
1999. The financial performance in 1999 was impacted by a $76.4 million non-cash
charge  resulting from the  acquisition of the external  advisor on September 1,
1999.

         The Company earned  $62,514,049 in rental income from operating  leases
and earned  income  from direct  financing  leases  from 705  Properties  and 44
Secured  Equipment  Leases  structured  as leases  during the nine months  ended
September 30, 2000, and $44,020,989 from 614 Properties and 61 Secured Equipment
Leases  structured  as leases  during the nine months ended  September  30, 1999
($22,704,981  and  $16,120,095  of which was earned  during the  quarters  ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively).  The increase during the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the quarter and nine months
ended  September  30, 1999,  was  attributable  to the  Company's  investment in
restaurant  properties  increasing from approximately  $756,481,260 at September
30, 1999 to $887,888,149 at September 30, 2000.

         The Company also earned  $10,923,798  and $4,136,067 in interest income
from Mortgage Loans and Secured  Equipment Leases structured as loans during the
nine months ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively  ($5,804,817  and
$2,095,347 of which were earned during the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and
1999,  respectively).  The increase in interest  income from Mortgage  Loans and
Secured  Equipment Leases during the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
2000, as compared to the quarter and nine months ended  September 30, 1999,  was
attributable  to the  Company's  increase  in  mortgage  loans to  approximately
$188,389,000  at September  30, 2000 from  $122,299,000  at September  30, 1999.
Interest  income reflects  adjustments to reflect  reductions in fixed rate loan
values that  result  from  rising  interest  rates,  or any  recoveries  of such
reductions when interest rates  decrease.  Interest income in the quarters ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 reflect  $1,811,670  and $54,486,  respectively,  of
such adjustments.

         During the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  the Company
earned  $7,133,151  and  $3,498,586,  respectively,  in investment  and interest
income from investments in franchise loan  certificates,  residual  interests in
loan sales, money market accounts or other short-term, highly liquid investments
($2,141,897  and  $1,347,926  of which was  earned  during  the  quarters  ended
September  30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively).  The  increase in  investment  and
interest  income for the quarter and nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  as
compared  to  the  quarter  and  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  was
attributable to the acquisition of approximately $53.6 million in non-investment
grade  securities  resulting  from  the  merger  with CNL  Restaurant  Financial
Services Group and the November 1999 securitization. During the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, the Company recorded an unrealized holding loss
of $3.8 million on its investment in the off-balance sheet loan sale facility.

         During the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  the Company
earned  $3,626,430 and $425,606,  respectively  in other income  ($1,160,093 and
$367,525 of which was earned  during the quarters  ended  September 30, 2000 and
1999,  respectively).  The  increase  in other  income for the  quarter and nine
months  ended  September  30,  2000,  as compared to the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1999, was primarily attributable to servicing and fee income
earned on the Company's  expanded loan portfolio  resulting from the merger with
CNL Financial Services on September 1, 1999.

Expenses

         General and administrative expenses were approximately  $14,480,000 and
$3,514,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively
including  approximately  $5,404,000  and  $1,713,000  applicable to the quarter
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The asset  management fees to
related  party were $0 and  approximately  $2,479,000  for the nine months ended
September  30,  2000  and  1999,  respectively  including  $0 and  approximately
$797,000   applicable  to  the  quarter  ended   September  30,  2000  and  1999
respectively.  In September  1999,  the Company  acquired the Advisor and became
internally  advised.  While the Company no longer incurs  external  expenses for
asset management services,  those expenses now impact the Company through direct
payments of salaries,  benefits and other expenses.  Certain  expenses  previous
capitalized  when incurred  through the external  Advisor are now required to be
expensed as period costs. The current year  securitization of net leases coupled
with the alliance with Bank of America has created a substantial increase in the
Company's   ability  to  expand  through   property   acquisitions  and  lending
activities.  The Company also  continues to develop its network to gain from the
Bank of America products that can be offered to Company clients.

         Interest expense was  approximately  $30,142,000 and $3,585,000 for the
nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999,  respectively,   including
$11,854,000  and $3,585,000  applicable to the quarters ended September 30, 2000
and 1999,  respectively.  The Company  has  continued  to expand its  operations
through  increased  property  acquisitions and the origination of mortgage loans
that were  substantially  funded through the Mortgage Warehouse  Facilities.  In
addition the Company has utilized  its access to debt to finance  certain  costs
associated  with  the  Company's  strategic   initiatives,   including  expenses
associated with the transition to an internally  advised real estate  investment
trust  ("REIT"),  the  proposed  merger  with  the CNL  Income  Funds  that  was
subsequently  withdrawn,  and costs associated with the new strategic  direction
currently underway with Bank of America as a partner.  The overall level of debt
has  increased  accordingly  creating the  increased  interest  expense  between
reporting periods.

         Property  expenses were  approximately  $3,177,000 and $592,000 for the
nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999,  respectively,   including
approximately $1,509,000 and $148,000 applicable to the quarters ended September
30,  2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The  Company  is  continuing  to expand  its
portfolio of leased  properties  and  experiences an ongoing level of vacancies,
delinquencies,  or other property matters resulting in bad debt, legal and other
professional  expenses.  The  increase  in the  quarter  and nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000,  as compared to the quarter and nine months ended  September
30,  1999,  was the result of  servicing a  portfolio  that  increased  from 614
Properties at September 30, 1999 to 705  Properties at September 30, 2000.  Also
impacting  results  was the  recording  of bad  debt  expense  of  approximately
$362,000 and $1,304,000  during the quarter and nine months ended  September 30,
2000, respectively,  as compared to approximately $37,000 during the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. No bad debt expense was recorded for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999. Management continues to actively seek resolution for tenants
experiencing  financial  difficulties,  and  solicits  new tenants or buyers for
affected properties in an attempt to return the investment to productive status.

         Depreciation and amortization  expenses were approximately  $11,899,000
and  $6,267,000  for  the  nine  months  ended   September  30,  2000  and  1999
respectively,  including  approximately  $4,156,000 and $2,555,000 applicable to
the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999  respectively.  Leased properties
subject to depreciation  have increased  consistently  throughout the past year.
Goodwill  associated  with  the  September  1,  1999  acquisition  of  the  debt
operations  and with the  issuance of limited  partnership  interests to Bank of
America and CNL Financial Group, Inc. have resulted in increased amortization of
goodwill compared to the prior periods.

         Transaction costs were approximately  $8,010,000 and $1,104,000 for the
nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999   respectively,   including
approximately $1,307,000 and $621,000 applicable to the quarters ended September
30, 2000 and 1999  respectively.  Transaction costs reflect the costs associated
with  the  proposed  merger  with the CNL  Income  Funds  that was  subsequently
withdrawn.  Costs also include items associated with the new strategic direction
currently underway with Bank of America as a partner, including the write-off of
unamortized loan issuance costs relative to the repayment and termination of the
former line of credit upon the creation of the new Credit Facility.

         As described  above,  the quarter and nine months ended  September  30,
1999 included a non-cash  expense of approximately  $76,384,000  associated with
the acquisition of CNL Fund Advisors,  Inc., the Company's external advisor from
a related party.

Dispositions

During  the  quarters  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999,  the  Company  sold
Properties  resulting  in losses of $121,265  and  $368,963,  respectively,  for
financial  reporting  purposes.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2000
and 1999, the Company sold additional  Properties resulting in gains of $198,682
and losses of $201,843, respectively for financial reporting purposes.

Provisions for Losses on Assets

During the  quarter  and nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  the Company
recorded provisions for losses on assets of $673,067 and $847,708, respectively,
for financial reporting  purposes.  During the quarter ended September 30, 1999,
the Company reclassified $136,904 previously recorded as a provision for loss on
asset,  to an actual loss on sale of assets due to the actual sale of a Property
during the quarter  ended  September  30,  1999.  During the nine  months  ended
September  30, 1999,  the Company  recorded  provisions  for losses on assets of
$403,618  for  financial  reporting  purposes.   The  allowances  represent  the
difference  between the carrying  value of the  Properties at September 30, 2000
and 1999 and the fair market value of these Properties.
