                                     PART I


Item 1.  Business

         CNL Income Fund XVIII, Ltd. (the "Registrant" or the  "Partnership") is
a limited  partnership which was organized  pursuant to the laws of the State of
Florida on February 10, 1995. The general partners of the Partnership are Robert
A.  Bourne,  James  M.  Seneff,  Jr.  and  CNL  Realty  Corporation,  a  Florida
corporation  (the  "General  Partners").  Beginning on September  20, 1996,  the
Partnership offered for sale up to $35,000,000 of limited partnership  interests
(the  "Units")  (3,500,000  Units at $10 per Unit)  pursuant  to a  registration
statement on Form S-11 under the Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  effective
August  11,  1995.  As of  December  31,  1997,  the  Partnership  had  accepted
subscriptions  for 3,500,000  Units and had received  subscription  proceeds for
3,414,576  Units,  representing  $34,145,759  of capital  contributed by limited
partners. The remaining proceeds of $854,241,  representing the remaining 85,424
Units, were received during the period January 1, 1998 through February 6, 1998.


         The  Partnership  was organized to acquire both newly  constructed  and
existing  restaurant  properties,  as well as properties upon which  restaurants
were to be  constructed  (the  "Properties"),  which  are  leased  primarily  to
operators of national and regional  fast-food,  family-style  and casual  dining
restaurant  chains (the  "Restaurant  Chains").  As of December  31,  1997,  net
proceeds to the  Partnership  from its  offering of Units,  after  deduction  of
organizational  and offering  expenses,  totalled  $30,022,641.  During the year
ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership acquired two Properties. As of December
31, 1997, the Partnership had invested approximately $27,645,000 of the proceeds
described  above in 22  Properties  (one of which was under  construction  as of
December  31,  1997),  and to  pay  acquisition  fees  and  certain  acquisition
expenses,  leaving  approximately  $2,377,700 of net offering proceeds available
for  investment  in  Properties.  The  Partnership  will use the  remaining  net
offering  proceeds,  together with proceeds from the sale of Units subsequent to
December 31, 1997, to acquire additional Properties, to pay acquisition fees and
acquisition  expenses  and to pay  expenses  relating to the sale of Units.  The
Properties are leased on a triple-net basis with the lessees responsible for all
repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities.

         The  Partnership's  primary  investment  objectives  are  to  preserve,
protect and enhance Partnership capital,  while providing (i) cash distributions
commencing in the initial year of Partnership operations in amounts which exceed
current   taxable  income  (due  to  the  fact  that   depreciation   deductions
attributable to the Properties reduce taxable income even though depreciation is
not a cash expenditure); (ii) an anticipated minimum level of income through the
long-term  rental of  Properties to selected  operators of certain  national and
regional  fast-food,  family-style and casual dining  restaurant  chains;  (iii)
additional  income and protection  against inflation by participation in certain
restaurant  gross sales  through the receipt of  percentage  rent  payments and,
typically,  automatic  increases in the minimum  annual  rent;  and (iv) capital
appreciation through the potential increase in value of the Properties.

         The  Partnership  will hold its Properties  until the General  Partners
determine that the sale or other  disposition of the Properties is  advantageous
in view of the Partnership's investment objectives.  In deciding whether to sell
Properties, the General Partners will consider factors such as potential capital
appreciation,  net cash flow and  federal  income  tax  considerations.  Certain
lessees also have been granted options to purchase Properties,  generally at the
Property's  then fair market  value after a specified  portion of the lease term
has  elapsed.  In  general,  the General  Partners  plan to seek the sale of the
Properties commencing seven to 12 years after their acquisition. The Partnership
has no  obligation  to sell all or any portion of a Property  at any  particular
time,  except as may be required  under  property  purchase  options  granted to
certain lessees.

Description of Leases

         The leases of the  Properties  owned by the  Partnership as of December
31,  1997,  provide for initial  terms  ranging from 15 to 26 years (the average
being 17 years) and expire between 2012 and 2023. All leases are on a triple-net
basis,  with the lessees  responsible for all repairs and maintenance,  property
taxes,  insurance  and  utilities.  The  leases  for the  Properties  that  were
operational  as of December  31, 1997,  provide for minimum  base annual  rental
payments  (payable in equal  monthly  installments)  ranging from  approximately
$60,400 to $243,600. The majority

                                        1

<PAGE>



of the  leases  provide  for  percentage  rent  based on sales  in  excess  of a
specified  amount.  In  addition,  the  majority  of the  leases  provide  that,
commencing in specified lease years (generally the sixth lease year), the annual
base rent required under the terms of the lease will increase.

         Generally, the leases provide for two to five five-year renewal options
subject to the same terms and conditions as the initial lease.  Certain  lessees
also have been  granted  options to purchase  the  Properties  after a specified
portion of the lease term has elapsed. The option purchase price is equal to the
Partnership's  original cost of the Property (including acquisition costs), plus
a specified  percentage  or the  Property's  fair  market  value at the time the
purchase option is exercised, whichever is greater.

         The leases also  generally  provide that, in the event the  Partnership
wishes to sell the Properties,  the Partnership first must offer the lessees the
right to purchase the Properties on the same terms and  conditions,  and for the
same price,  as any offer which the Partnership has received for the sale of the
Properties.

Major Tenants

         During  1997,   five  lessees  of  the   Partnership,   Golden   Corral
Corporation,  Foodmaker,  Inc.,  Tiffany,  L.L.C.,  IHOP  Properties,  Inc.  and
Platinum  Rotisserie,  L.L.C.,  each  contributed  more than ten  percent of the
Partnership's  total  rental  income.  As of December 31,  1997,  Golden  Corral
Corporation  and Foodmaker,  Inc. were each the lessees under leases relating to
four restaurants,  Tiffany,  L.L.C. was the lessee under a lease relating to one
restaurant,  IHOP  Properties,  Inc. was the lessee under leases relating to two
restaurants  and  Platinum  Rotisserie,  L.L.C.  was  the  lessee  under a lease
relating to one restaurant.  In addition,  four Restaurant Chains, Golden Corral
Family Steakhouse Restaurants ("Golden Corral"), Jack in the Box, Boston Market,
and IHOP each  accounted  for more than ten percent of the  Partnership's  total
rental  income  for 1997.  Because  the  Partnership's  first  Property  was not
purchased until December 1996, the foregoing  information  regarding the lessees
and   Restaurant   Chains  which   contributed  a  significant   amount  of  the
Partnership's  total rental income during 1997, may or may not be representative
of the  lessees  and  Restaurant  Chains  which will  account  for more than ten
percent of the  Partnership's  rental income during 1998 and  subsequent  years.
Because the  Partnership has not completed its acquisition of Properties as yet,
it is not  possible  to  determine  which  lessees  or  Restaurant  Chains  will
contribute more than ten percent of the Partnership's  rental income during 1998
and subsequent  years.  In the event that certain  lessees or Restaurant  Chains
contribute  more than ten  percent  of the  Partnership's  rental  income in the
future years, any failure of such lessees or Restaurant  Chains could materially
adversely affect the  Partnership's  income.  As of December 31, 1997, no single
tenant  or  group of  affiliated  tenants  lease  Properties  with an  aggregate
carrying value,  excluding acquisition fees and certain acquisition expenses, in
excess of 20 percent of the  anticipated  total assets of the  Partnership  upon
completion of the offering of Units.

Management Services

         CNL Fund Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partners, provides
certain  services  relating  to  the  management  of  the  Partnership  and  its
Properties pursuant to a management  agreement with the Partnership.  Under this
agreement,  CNL  Fund  Advisors,  Inc.  is  responsible  for  collecting  rental
payments,  inspecting  the  Properties  and  the  tenants'  books  and  records,
assisting the  Partnership  in  responding  to tenant  inquiries and notices and
providing  information to the Partnership about the status of the leases and the
Properties.  CNL Fund  Advisors,  Inc.  also  assists  the  General  Partners in
negotiating the leases.  For these  services,  the Partnership has agreed to pay
CNL Fund Advisors,  Inc. an annual fee of one percent of the sum of gross rental
revenues from Properties wholly owned by the Partnership, plus the Partnership's
allocable  share of gross revenues of joint ventures in which the Partnership is
a co-venturer, but not in excess of competitive fees for comparable services.

         The management agreement continues until the Partnership no longer owns
an interest in any Properties unless terminated at an earlier date upon 60 days'
prior notice by either party.

Competition

         The fast-food,  family-style,  and casual dining restaurant business is
characterized  by intense  competition.  The  restaurants  on the  Partnership's
Properties compete with independently owned restaurants, restaurants which are

                                        2

<PAGE>



part of local or regional chains,  and restaurants in other well-known  national
chains, including those offering different types of food and service.

         The  Partnership  also will be in  competition  with other  persons and
entities both to locate suitable  Properties to acquire and to locate purchasers
for its  Properties.  The  Partnership  also will compete  with other  financing
sources  such as banks,  mortgage  lenders,  and  sale/leaseback  companies  for
suitable Properties and tenants.

Employees

         The  Partnership   has  no  employees.   The  officers  of  CNL  Realty
Corporation  and the officers and employees of CNL Fund Advisors,  Inc.  perform
certain  services for the  Partnership.  In addition,  the General Partners have
available to them the  resources  and expertise of the officers and employees of
CNL Group, Inc., a diversified real estate company, and its affiliates,  who may
also perform certain services for the Partnership.


Item 2.  Properties

         As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership  owned 22 Properties,  located
in 14 states.  Reference is made to the Schedule of Real Estate and  Accumulated
Depreciation  filed with this report for a listing of the  Properties  and their
costs, including acquisition fees and certain acquisition expenses.

         The Partnership is negotiating to acquire additional Properties, but as
of March 13, 1998, had not acquired any such Properties.

Description of Properties

         Land. As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership's  Property sites ranged
from  approximately  27,000 to 120,400  square feet depending upon building size
and  local  demographic  factors.  Sites  purchased  or to be  purchased  by the
Partnership are or will be in locations zoned for commercial use which have been
reviewed for traffic patterns and volume.

         Buildings.  The Properties  owned by the Partnership as of December 31,
1997,  currently  include or will include a building that is one of a Restaurant
Chain's approved designs. The buildings to be acquired or constructed  generally
will be rectangular and constructed from various combinations of stucco,  steel,
wood,  brick and tile.  Building sizes range from  approximately  2,200 to 9,700
square  feet.  All  buildings  on  Properties  acquired or to be acquired by the
Partnership  will  be  freestanding  and  surrounded  by  paved  parking  areas.
Buildings   will  be  suitable  for   conversion  to  various   uses,   although
modifications may be required prior to use for other than restaurant operations.

         Generally,  a lessee is required or is expected to be  required,  under
the terms of its lease  agreement,  to make such capital  expenditures as may be
reasonably necessary to refurbish buildings, premises, signs and equipment so as
to comply with the lessee's  obligations,  if  applicable,  under the  franchise
agreement to reflect the current commercial image of its Restaurant Chain. These
capital  expenditures  are required to be paid by the lessee  during the term of
the lease.

         Leases  with Major  Tenants.  The terms of each of the leases  with the
Partnership's  major  tenants,  as of December 31, 1997 (See Item 1.  Business -
Major  Tenants),  are  substantially  the  same as  those  described  in Item 1.
Business - Description of Leases.

         Golden Corral  Corporation leases four Golden Corral  restaurants.  The
initial  term of each  lease is 15 years  (expiring  in  2012)  and the  average
minimum base annual rent is approximately  $160,300 (ranging from  approximately
$148,400 to $170,400).

initial  term of the lease is 15 years  (expiring  in 2012) and the minimum base
annual rent is approximately $122,600.

         Neither the  Partnership,  nor its General Partners or any affiliate of
the General Partners, nor any of their respective properties,  is a party to, or
subject to, any material pending legal proceedings.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

         Not applicable.



                                     PART II


Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

         As of March 13, 1998,  there were 1,570 holders of record of the Units.
There is no public trading market for the Units,  and it is not anticipated that
a public  market for the Units will develop.  Limited  Partners who wish to sell
their  Units  may  offer  the  Units  for  sale  pursuant  to the  Partnership's
distribution  reinvestment  plan (the "Plan"),  and Limited Partners who wish to
have their  distributions  used to acquire additional Units (to the extent Units
are  available  for  purchase),  may do so  pursuant  to such Plan.  The General
Partners have the right to prohibit  transfers of Units.  Since  inception,  the
price to be paid for any Unit  transferred  pursuant to the Plan has been $10.00
per Unit. The price to be paid for any Unit  transferred  other than pursuant to
the Plan is subject to  negotiation  by the  purchaser  and the selling  Limited
Partner.  For the year ended December 31, 1997, no Units were transferred  other
than pursuant to the Plan. The Partnership will not redeem or repurchase Units.

         The  capital  contribution  per Unit was $10.  All cash  available  for
distribution  will be distributed to the partners  pursuant to the provisions of
the Partnership Agreement.

         For the  years  ended  December  31,  1997 and  1996,  the  Partnership
declared cash  distributions  of $1,310,885  and $57,846,  respectively,  to the
Limited  Partners.  No  amounts  distributed  to  partners  for the years  ended
December  31,  1997 and 1996,  are  required  to be or have been  treated by the
Partnership  as a return of capital  for  purposes  of  calculating  the Limited
Partners' return on their adjusted capital contributions.  No distributions have
been made to the General  Partners to date.  As  indicated  in the chart  below,
these   distributions   were  declared  following  the  close  of  each  of  the
Partnership's  calendar  quarters  following  the  first  admission  of  Limited
Partners to the Partnership. These amounts include monthly distributions made in
arrears for the Limited Partners electing to receive such  distributions on this
basis.

         For  the  period  January  1,  1996  through   October  11,  1996,  the
Partnership  did not make  any cash  distributions  because  operations  had not
commenced.

         The  Partnership  intends to  continue  to make  distributions  of cash
available  for  distribution  to the  Limited  Partners  on a  quarterly  basis,
although some Limited  Partners,  in  accordance  with their  election,  receive
monthly distributions for an annual fee.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
                                 of Operations

         The  Partnership  was  organized on February  10, 1995,  to acquire for
cash,  either  directly  or  through  joint  venture  arrangements,  both  newly
constructed  and  existing  restaurant  Properties,  as well as land upon  which
restaurants  were to be constructed,  which are leased primarily to operators of
selected  national  and  regional  fast-food,  family-style  and  casual  dining
Restaurant Chains. The leases are triple-net leases,  with the lessees generally
responsible  for all repairs and  maintenance,  property  taxes,  insurance  and
utilities.  The  Partnership's  primary  investment  objectives are to preserve,
protect and enhance Partnership capital,  while providing (i) cash distributions
commencing in the initial year of Partnership operations in amounts which exceed
current   taxable  income  (due  to  the  fact  that   depreciation   deductions
attributable to the Properties reduce taxable income even though depreciation is
not a cash expenditure); (ii) an anticipated minimum level of income through the
long-term  rental of  Properties to selected  operators of certain  national and
regional  fast-food,  family-style and casual dining  Restaurant  Chains;  (iii)
additional  income and protection  against inflation by participation in certain
restaurant  gross sales  through the receipt of  percentage  rent  payments and,
typically,  automatic  increases in the minimum  annual  rent;  and (iv) capital
appreciation through the potential increase in value of the Properties.

         As of December 31, 1997, the  Partnership  owned 22 Properties,  one of
which was under construction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         On September  20, 1996,  the  Partnership  commenced an offering to the
public of up to 3,500,000 Units of limited  partnership  interest  pursuant to a
registration  statement  on Form  S-11  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as
amended, effective August 11, 1995. As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership had
accepted  subscriptions  for  3,500,000  Units  and  had  received  subscription
proceeds for 3,414,576 Units, representing $34,145,759 of capital contributed by
Limited Partners. The remaining proceeds of $854,241, representing the remaining
85,424 Units were received during the period January 1, 1998 through February 6,
1998.

         As of December  31,  1997,  net  proceeds to the  Partnership  from its
offering of Units,  after  deduction of  organizational  and offering  expenses,
totalled  $30,022,641.  During 1996, the  Partnership  invested or committed for
investment  approximately  $2,960,800 of such proceeds in two  Properties and to
pay  acquisition  fees  and  certain  acquisition  expenses.  During  1997,  the
Partnership  completed  construction of the Property under  construction in 1996
and acquired 20 additional Properties (one of which was under construction as of
December 31, 1997).  As a result of the above  transactions,  as of December 31,
1997, the Partnership had invested approximately $27,645,000 of the net proceeds
in 22 Properties,  and to pay  acquisition  fees and  miscellaneous  acquisition
expenses,  leaving  approximately  $2,377,700 of net offering proceeds available
for investment in Properties.  As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership had paid
$1,536,559 in acquisition fees to an affiliate of the General Partners.

         The  building  under   construction   at  December  31,  1997,   became
operational in February 1998. In connection  with the purchase of this Property,
the Partnership, as lessor entered into a long-term lease agreement.

         As of March 13,  1998,  the  Partnership  had sold a total of 3,500,000
Units,  for an  aggregate  of  $35,000,000  in gross  offering  proceeds and had
invested or committed for investment approximately  $28,056,645 of such proceeds
in 22 Properties and to pay acquisition fees and certain  acquisition  expenses,
leaving  approximately   $2,746,400  in  net  offering  proceeds  available  for
investment in  Properties.  As of March 13, 1998, the  Partnership  had incurred
$1,575,000 in acquisition fees to an affiliate of the General Partners.

         The  Partnership   presently  is  negotiating  to  acquire   additional
Properties,  but as of March 13, 1998, had not acquired any such Properties. The
Partnership will use the remaining net offering proceeds,  to acquire additional
Properties,  to pay  acquisition  expenses and in the  discretion of the General
Partners, to create operating reserves.

         Currently,  the  Partnership's  primary  source of capital is cash from
operations  (which  includes cash  received from tenants and interest  received,
less cash paid for  expenses).  Cash from  operations was $1,361,610 and $27,146
for the years  ended  December  31,  1997 and 1996.  The  increase  in cash from
operations for the year ended

                                        6

<PAGE>



December 31, 1997, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996, is primarily
a result of  changes  in  income  and  expenses  as  described  in  "Results  of
Operations" below and changes in the Partnership's working capital.

         None of the Properties owned or to be acquired by the Partnership is or
may be encumbered.  Subject to certain  restrictions on borrowing,  however, the
Partnership  may borrow  funds but will not encumber  any of the  Properties  in
connection  with any such  borrowing.  The  Partnership  will not borrow for the
purpose of returning capital to the Limited Partners or under  arrangements that
would make the Limited  Partners  liable to  creditors of the  Partnership.  The
General  Partners  further have  represented that they will use their reasonable
efforts to structure any borrowing so that it will not  constitute  "acquisition
indebtedness"   for  federal  income  tax  purposes  and  also  will  limit  the
Partnership's  outstanding  indebtedness  to  three  percent  of  the  aggregate
adjusted tax basis of its  Properties.  Affiliates of the General  Partners from
time to time incur certain  expenses on behalf of the  Partnership for which the
Partnership reimburses the affiliates without interest.

         Until  Properties  are  acquired by the  Partnership,  all  Partnership
proceeds are held in  short-term,  highly liquid  investments  which the General
Partners  believe  to have  appropriate  safety of  principal.  This  investment
strategy provides high liquidity in order to facilitate the Partnership's use of
these  funds to  acquire  Properties  at such time as  Properties  suitable  for
acquisition  are located.  At December 31, 1997, the  Partnership had $4,143,327
invested in such short-term  investments,  as compared to $5,371,325 at December
31,  1996.  The decrease in the amount  invested in  short-term  investments  is
primarily a result of the payment during 1997, of costs relating to the Property
that  was  under  construction  at  December  31,  1996 and the  acquisition  of
additional Properties during 1997. The funds remaining at December 31, 1997 will
be used to pay  construction  costs  relating  to several  Properties  that were
incurred  but unpaid at December 31,  1997,  to purchase and develop  additional
Properties,  to  pay  acquisition  costs,  to pay  distributions,  to  meet  the
Partnership's  working  capital and other  needs and,  in the General  Partners'
discretion, to create cash reserves.

         During  the years  ended  December  31,  1997 and 1996,  and the period
February 10, 1995 (date of inception)  through December 31, 1995,  affiliates of
the General Partners  incurred on behalf of the Partnership  $211,216,  $285,858
and $196,174, respectively, for certain organizational and offering expenses. In
addition,  during  1997 and 1996,  affiliates  incurred  $134,138  and  $18,036,
respectively,   for  certain   acquisition   expenses   and  $44,166  and  $893,
respectively,  for certain operating expenses. As of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
the Partnership owed $118,231 and $83,889,  respectively, to related parties for
such  amounts,  fees  and  other  reimbursements.  As of  March  13,  1998,  the
Partnership  had reimbursed the affiliates all such amounts.  Amounts payable to
other  parties,  including  distributions  payable,  increased to  $1,629,719 at
December 31, 1997, as compared to $160,222 at December 31, 1996,  primarily as a
result of an  increase  in  distributions  payable  to Limited  Partners  and an
increase  in  construction  costs  payable at  December  31,  1997.  The General
Partners  believe that the  Partnership  has sufficient cash on hand to meet its
current working capital needs.

         Based on cash from operations,  the Partnership declared  distributions
to the Limited Partners of $1,310,885 and $57,846,  respectively,  for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 (representing  distributions of $0.57 and $0.11
per  Unit,  respectively,   based  on  the  weighted  average  number  of  Units
outstanding  during the  period the  Partnership  was  operational).  No amounts
distributed  or to be  distributed  to the Limited  Partners for the years ended
December  31,  1997 and 1996,  are  required  to be or have been  treated by the
Partnership  as a return of capital  for  purposes  of  calculating  the Limited
Partners'  return  on their  adjusted  capital  contributions.  The  Partnership
intends to continue to make  distributions of cash available for distribution to
the Limited Partners on a quarterly basis,  although some Limited  Partners,  in
accordance with their election,  receive  monthly  distributions,  for an annual
fee.

         The General  Partners have obtained  contingent  liability and property
coverage for the  Partnership.  This insurance  policy is intended to reduce the
Partnership's  exposure in the unlikely event a tenant's insurance policy lapses
or is insufficient to cover a claim relating to the Property.

         The Partnership's  investment strategy of acquiring Properties for cash
and  leasing  them under  triple-net  leases to  operators  who  generally  meet
specified financial  standards  minimizes the Partnership's  operating expenses.
The General  Partners  believe that the leases will generate cash flow in excess
of operating  expenses.  Partnership net income is expected to increase in 1998,
as rental income  increases  due to the  acquisition  of  additional  Properties
during 1998 and the fact that  Properties  acquired during 1997 will earn rental
income  for a full  year in  1998,  as  compared  to a  partial  year  in  1997.
Accordingly, the General Partners believe that the anticipated decrease in the

                                        7

<PAGE>



Partnership's  liquidity in 1998,  due to its  investment  of the  remaining net
offering proceeds in additional Properties and the payment of construction costs
relating to several  Properties  incurred but unpaid at December 31, 1997,  will
not have an adverse effect on the Partnership's operations during 1998.

         Due to low  operating  expenses,  ongoing cash flow from rental  income
obtained  from  Properties  after  they  are  acquired  and the  fact  that  the
Partnership  will not enter into a  commitment  to  purchase  a  Property  until
sufficient  cash is available  for such  purchase,  the General  Partners do not
believe that working  capital  reserves are necessary at this time. In addition,
because all of the leases for the  Partnership's  Properties are on a triple-net
basis,  it is not  anticipated  that a  permanent  reserve for  maintenance  and
repairs is necessary at this time. To the extent,  however, that the Partnership
has insufficient  funds for such purposes,  the General Partners will contribute
to the  Partnership  an  aggregate  amount of up to one percent of the  offering
proceeds for  maintenance  and repairs.  The General  Partners have the right to
cause  the  Partnership  to  maintain  reserves  if, in their  discretion,  they
determine such reserves are required to meet the  Partnership's  working capital
needs.

         The General  Partners have the right,  but not the obligation,  to make
additional capital  contributions if they deem it appropriate in connection with
the operations of the Partnership.

Results of Operations

         No significant  operations commenced until the Partnership received and
released from escrow the minimum offering  proceeds of $1,500,000 on October 11,
1996.

         The  Partnership  owned  and  leased  two  Properties  in  1996  and 22
Properties  in 1997  (including  one Property  which was under  construction  at
December 31, 1997), which are subject to long-term triple-net leases. The leases
of the Properties  provide for minimum base annual rental  payments  (payable in
monthly  installments)  ranging  from  approximately  $60,400 to  $243,600.  The
majority of the leases provide for percentage rent based on sales in excess of a
specified  amount.  In  addition,  the  majority  of the  leases  provide  that,
commencing in specified lease years (generally the sixth lease year), the annual
base rent  required  under the terms of the lease will  increase.  For a further
description of the Partnership's  leases and Properties,  see Item 1. Business -
Leases and Item 2. Properties.

         During the years  ended  December  31, 1997 and 1996,  the  Partnership
earned  $1,290,621  and $1,373,  respectively,  in rental income from  operating
leases and earned income from direct  financing  leases.  The increase in rental
and earned income during 1997, as compared to 1996, is primarily attributable to
the  acquisition  of  additional  Properties  subsequent  to December  31, 1996.
Because  the  Partnership  did not  commence  significant  operations  until  it
received  the minimum  offering  proceeds on October 11,  1996,  and has not yet
acquired all of its Properties, Partnership revenues for the year ended December
31, 1997, represent only a portion of revenues which the Partnership is expected
to earn  during  the  full  year  in  which  the  Partnership's  Properties  are
operational.

         During at least one of the years ended  December 31, 1997 and 1996, six
lessees,  or group of  affiliated  lessees,  of the  Partnership,  Golden Corral
Corporation,  Foodmaker, Inc., Tiffany, L.L.C., IHOP Properties,  Inc., Platinum
Rotisserie,  L.L.C.  and  Carrols  Corporation  each  contributed  more than ten
percent of the  Partnership's  total  rental  income.  As of December  31, 1997,
Golden Corral Corporation and Foodmaker,  Inc. were each the lessee under leases
relating  to four  restaurants,  Tiffany,  L.L.C.  was the lessee  under a lease
relating to one restaurant,  IHOP  Properties,  Inc. was the lessee under leases
relating to two restaurants,  Platinum Rotisserie, L.L.C. was the lessee under a
lease relating to one restaurant and Carrols  Corporation was the lessee under a
lease relating to one restaurant.  In addition, during at least one of the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, five Restaurant Chains, Golden Corral, Jack in
the Box,  Boston  Market,  IHOP and Burger King each accounted for more than ten
percent of the  Partnership's  total rental  income.  Because the  Partnership's
first Property was not purchased until December 1996, the foregoing  information
regarding  the lessees and  Restaurant  Chains which  contributed  a significant
amount of the Partnership's  total rental income during the years ended December
31,  1997  and  1996,  may  or may  not be  representative  of the  lessees  and
Restaurant  Chains  which  will  account  for  more  than  ten  percent  of  the
Partnership's  rental  income  during  1998 and  subsequent  years.  Because the
Partnership  has not completed its  acquisition  of Properties as yet, it is not
possible to determine  which lessees or Restaurant  Chains will  contribute more
than ten  percent of the  Partnership's  total  rental  income  during  1998 and
subsequent  years.  In the event  that  certain  lessees  or  Restaurant  Chains
contribute  more than ten percent of the  Partnership's  rental income in future
years,  any  failure  of such  lessees or  Restaurant  Chains  could  materially
adversely affect the Partnership's income.

         During the years  ended  December  31, 1997 and 1996,  the  Partnership
earned $162,621 and $30,241 in interest income from  investments in money market
accounts  or other  short-term,  highly  liquid  investments.  The  increase  in
interest  income during 1997, as compared to 1996, is primarily  attributable to
the increase in the amount of funds invested in short-term liquid investments as
a result of additional Limited Partner capital  contributions during 1997. As of
December 31, 1997,  the majority of these funds had been invested in Properties;
therefore, the Partnership expects interest income to decrease in 1998.

         Operating expenses,  including  depreciation and amortization  expense,
were  $298,482 and $4,704 for the years ended  December  31, 1997 and 1996.  The
increase in  operating  expenses  during 1997 is  primarily  attributable  to an
increase in depreciation expenses as the result of the acquisition of additional
Properties  during 1997.  Operating  expenses  also  increased  during 1997,  as
compared  to  1996,  as a  result  of an  increase  in  administrative  expenses
associated  with operating the Partnership and its Properties and an increase in
management  fees as a result of the  increase  in rental  revenues.  The  dollar
amount of operating expenses is expected to increase,  and the amount of general
operating  and  administrative  expenses as a  percentage  of total  revenues is
expected to decrease,  in 1998 as the Partnership acquires additional Properties
and the Property under construction becomes operational.

         The General Partners of the Partnership are in the process of assessing
and addressing the impact of the year 2000 on their computer  package  software.
The  hardware and  built-in  software  are  believed to be year 2000  compliant.
Accordingly, the General Partners do not expect this matter to materially impact
how the  Partnership  conducts  business  nor its  current or future  results of
operations or financial position.

         The  Partnership's  leases as of December 31, 1997,  and the leases the
Partnership  expects to enter into,  are or are  expected to be on a  triple-net
basis 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
Partnership'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.

express  an  opinion  on these  financial  statements  and  financial  statement
schedule 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 financial position of CNL Income Fund XVIII, Ltd. as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996,  and the results of its  operations  and its cash
flows for the year ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the period  February 10,
1995 (date of inception) through December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted  accounting  principles.  In addition,  in our opinion,  the  financial
statement  schedule  referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic
financial  statements  taken  as a  whole,  presents  fairly,  in  all  material
respects, the information required to be included therein.

                         (A Florida Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

              Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the Period
                      February 10, 1995 (Date of Inception)
                            through December 31, 1995


1.       Significant Accounting Policies:

         Organization and Nature of Business - CNL Income Fund XVIII,  Ltd. (the
         "Partnership") is a Florida limited  partnership that was organized for
         the purpose of acquiring both newly constructed and existing restaurant
         properties,  as well as properties  upon which  restaurants  were to be
         constructed,  which are leased  primarily  to operators of national and
         regional  fast-food,  family-style and casual dining restaurant chains.
         Under the terms of a registration  statement  filed with the Securities
         and  Exchange  Commission,  the  Partnership  is  authorized  to sell a
         maximum  of  3,500,000  units   ($35,000,000)  of  limited  partnership
         interest.   A  total  of  3,414,576  units   ($34,145,759)  of  limited
         partnership interest had been sold as of December 31, 1997.

         The  Partnership was a development  stage  enterprise from February 10,
         1995  through  October  11,  1996.  Since  operations  had  not  begun,
         activities  through  October 11, 1996,  were devoted to organization of
         the Partnership.

         The general partners of the Partnership are CNL Realty Corporation (the
         "Corporate  General  Partner"),  James M.  Seneff,  Jr.  and  Robert A.
         Bourne.  Mr. Seneff and Mr. Bourne are also 50 percent  shareholders of
         the Corporate General Partner. The general partners have responsibility
         for managing the day-to-day operations of the Partnership.

         Real  Estate  and  Lease  Accounting  -  The  Partnership  records  the
         acquisition of land and buildings at cost,  including  acquisition  and
         closing costs. 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. The leases are accounted for
         using the direct  financing  or  operating  methods.  Such  methods are
         described below:

                  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) (see Note 4).  Unearned  income is deferred
                  and  amortized to income over the lease terms so as to produce
                  a constant  periodic rate of return on the  Partnership's  net
                  investment in the leases.

1.       Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:

                  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  are  sold,  the  related  cost  and  accumulated
         depreciation  for operating  leases and the net  investment  for direct
         financing leases,  plus any accrued rental income, will be removed from
         the  accounts  and gains or losses  from  sales  will be  reflected  in
         income.  The general partners of the Partnership  review properties for
         impairment  whenever events or changes in  circumstances  indicate that
         the  carrying  amount  of the  assets  may not be  recoverable  through
         operations.  The general  partners  determine  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 the fair value.

                           CNL INCOME FUND XVIII, LTD.
                         (A Florida Limited Partnership)

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

              Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the Period
                      February 10, 1995 (Date of Inception)
                            through December 31, 1995


1.       Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:

         Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Partnership 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 and money market funds (some of which are
         backed by government  securities).  Cash equivalents are stated at cost
         plus accrued interest, which approximates market value.

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

         Organization  Costs - Organization  costs are amortized over five years
         using the straight-line method upon commencement of operations.

         Income Taxes - Under  Section 701 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  all
         income,  expenses and tax credit items flow through to the partners for
         tax  purposes.  Therefore,  no  provision  for federal  income taxes is
         provided in the accompanying  financial statements.  The Partnership is
         subject to certain state taxes on its income and property.

         Additionally,  for tax  purposes,  syndication  costs are  included  in
         Partnership equity and in the basis of each partner's  investment.  For
         financial  reporting  purposes,  syndication  costs are netted  against
         partners' capital and represent a reduction of Partnership equity and a
         reduction in the basis of each partner's investment (Note 5).

         Rents Paid in  Advance - Rents  paid in  advance by lessees  for future
         periods are deferred upon receipt and are recognized as revenues during
         the period in which the rental income is earned.  Rents paid in advance
         include "interim rent" payments  required to be paid under the terms of
         certain leases for  construction  properties  equal to a pre-determined
         rate  times the  amount  funded by the  Partnership  during  the period
         commencing  with the  effective  date of the lease to the date  minimum
         annual rent becomes payable. Once minimum annual rent

         becomes payable, the "interim rent" payments are amortized and recorded
         as income  either  (i) over the lease  term so as to produce a constant
         periodic  rate of return  for  leases  accounted  for using the  direct
         financing  method,  or (ii) over the lease term using the straight-line
         method for leases accounted for using the operating  method,  whichever
         is applicable.

         Weighted Average Number of Limited Partner Units Outstanding Net income
         and  distributions  per limited partner unit are calculated  based upon
         the weighted  average number of units of limited  partnership  interest
         outstanding during the period the Partnership was operational.

         Use of Estimates - The general  partners of the Partnership have 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.

         Reclassification   -  Certain  items  in  the  prior  years'  financial
         statements  have been  reclassified  to conform  to 1997  presentation.
         These  reclassifications  had no effect  on  partners'  capital  or net
         income.

2.       Leases:

         The Partnership  leases its land and buildings to operators of national
         and regional  fast-food and  family-style  restaurants.  The leases are
         accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 13,  "Accounting  for Leases." Some of the  Partnership's
         leases are  classified as operating  leases and some of the leases have
         been classified as direct financing  leases.  For the leases classified
         as direct  financing  leases,  the  building  portions of the  property
         leases are  accounted  for as direct  financing  leases  while the land
         portions of the majority of the leases are operating leases. The leases
         have  initial  terms of 15 to 26 years  and  provide  for  minimum  and
         contingent rentals. In addition, the tenant pays all property taxes and
         assessments,  fully maintains the interior and exterior of the building
         and carries insurance coverage for public liability, property

2.       Leases - Continued:

         damage,  fire and extended coverage.  The lease options generally allow
         the  tenants to renew the leases for two to five  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 fair
         market value after a specified portion of the lease has elapsed.

3.       Land and Buildings on Operating Leases:

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

                                                   1997          1996

                                               ===========    ===========

         Generally,  the leases provide for escalating  guaranteed minimum rents
         throughout the lease term.  Income from these  scheduled rent increases
         is  recognized on a  straight-line  basis over the terms of the leases.
         For the  years  ended  December  31,  1997 and  1996,  the  Partnership
         recognized $128,079 and $146, respectively, of such rental income.

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

3.       Land and Buildings on Operating Leases - Continued:

         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 term. 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 tenant's gross sales.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

              Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the Period
                      February 10, 1995 (Date of Inception)
                            through December 31, 1995


5.       Syndication Costs:

         Syndication  costs  consisting  of  legal  fees,  commissions,  the due
         diligence  expense  reimbursement  fee,  printing  and  other  expenses
         incurred  in  connection  with the  offering  totalled  $2,717,452  and
         $1,395,666   for  the  years   ended   December   31,  1997  and  1996,
         respectively.  These  offering  expenses  were  charged to the  limited
         partners'  capital  accounts to reflect the net capital proceeds of the
         offering.  All organizational and offering expenses,  as defined in the
         Partnership's prospectus, which exceed three percent of the total gross
         proceeds  received  from the sale of units of the  Partnership  will be
         paid  or  reimbursed  by  the  general  partners  and  will  not be the
         responsibility of the Partnership.

6.       Allocations and Distributions:

         Generally,  distributions  of net cash flow,  as defined in the limited
         partnership  agreement of the  Partnership,  are made 95 percent to the
         limited  partners and five percent to the general  partners;  provided,
         however,  that for any  particular  year,  the five percent of net cash
         flow to be distributed to the general  partners will be subordinated to
         receipt  by the  limited  partners  in that  year of an  eight  percent
         noncumulative, noncompounded return on their aggregate invested capital
         contributions (the "Limited Partners' 8% Return").

         Generally,  net income  (determined  without regard to any depreciation
         and  amortization  deductions  and  gains and  losses  from the sale of
         properties) is allocated  between the limited  partners and the general
         partners  first,  in  an  amount  not  to  exceed  the  net  cash  flow
         distributed  to the  partners  attributable  to such  year in the  same
         proportions as such net cash flow is distributed;  and  thereafter,  99
         percent  to the  limited  partners  and  one  percent  to  the  general
         partners.   All  deductions  for   depreciation  and  amortization  are
         allocated  99 percent to the  limited  partners  and one percent to the
         general partners.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

              Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the Period
                      February 10, 1995 (Date of Inception)
                            through December 31, 1995


6.       Allocations and Distributions - Continued:

         Net  sales  proceeds  from the  sale of a  property  generally  will be
         distributed  first to the limited  partners in an amount  sufficient to
         provide them with the return of their invested  capital  contributions,
         plus their cumulative Limited Partners' 8% Return. The general partners
         will then receive a return of their capital  contributions  and, to the
         extent  previously  subordinated and unpaid, a five percent interest in
         all net cash flow distributions.  Any remaining net sales proceeds will
         be distributed  95 percent to the limited  partners and five percent to
         the general partners.

         Any gain from the sale of a property will be, in general,  allocated in
         the same manner as net sales proceeds are distributable.  Any loss will
         be allocated  first,  on a pro rata basis to the partners with positive
         balances in their capital accounts;  and thereafter,  95 percent to the
         limited partners and five percent to the general partners.

         During the years  ended  December  31, 1997 and 1996,  the  Partnership
         declared  distributions  to the  limited  partners  of  $1,310,885  and
         $57,846.  No  distributions  have been made to the general  partners to
         date.

                           CNL INCOME FUND XVIII, LTD.
                         (A Florida Limited Partnership)

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

              Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the Period
                      February 10, 1995 (Date of Inception)
                            through December 31, 1995


9.       Concentration of Credit Risk - Continued:

         Although  the  Partnership's   properties  are  geographically  diverse
         throughout the United States and the  Partnership's  lessees  operate a
         variety of restaurant concepts,  default by any one of these lessees or
         restaurant chains could significantly  impact the results of operations
         of the Partnership. However, the general partners believe that the risk
         of such a default is reduced due to the  essential or important  nature
         of these properties for the ongoing operations of the lessees.

10.      Subsequent Events:

         During  the period  January  1, 1997  through  February  4,  1998,  the
         Partnership  received capital  contributions  for an additional  74,408
         units ($744,077) of limited partnership interest.
