                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           Quarters and Nine months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997


1.       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,  1998,  may not be
         indicative  of the  results  that may be  expected  for the year  ended
         December  31, 1998.  Amounts as of December  31, 1997,  included in the
         financial   statements,   have  been  derived  from  audited  financial
         statements as of that date.

         These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with
         the financial statements and notes thereto included in Form 10-K of CNL
         Income Fund XVIII, Ltd. (the "Partnership") for the year ended December
         31, 1997.

         Certain  items in the  prior  year's  financial  statements  have  been
         reclassified to conform to 1998 presentation.  These  reclassifications
         had no effect on partners' capital or net income.

         In March 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  reached a
         consensus  in EITF  97-11,  entitled  "Accounting  for  Internal  Costs
         Relating to Real Estate  Property  Acquisitions."  EITF 97-11  provides
         that internal costs of  identifying  and acquiring  operating  Property
         should be expensed as  incurred.  Due to the fact that the  Partnership
         does not have an internal acquisitions function and instead,  contracts
         these  services  from CNL Fund  Advisors,  Inc.,  an  affiliate  of the
         general   partners,   EITF  97-11  had  no   material   effect  on  the
         Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

         In May  1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  reached  a
         consensus in EITF 98-9, entitled "Accounting for Contingent Rent in the
         Interim Financial  Periods."  Adoption of this consensus did not have a
         material effect on the Partnership's  financial  position or results of
         operations.

2.        Investment in Joint Venture:

         In  August  1998,  the   Partnership   entered  into  a  joint  venture
         arrangement,  Columbus  Joint Venture,  with  affiliates of the general
         partners,  to  construct  and  hold  one  restaurant  property.  As  of
         September  30, 1998,  the  Partnership  had  contributed  $166,025,  to
         purchase land and pay construction costs relating to the joint venture.
         The  Partnership  has agreed to  contribute  approximately  $225,811 in
         additional  construction  costs to the joint venture.  The  Partnership
         will have an approximate 40 percent  interest in the profits and losses
         of the joint venture.  The  Partnership  accounts for its investment in
         this  property  using the equity  method since the  Partnership  shares
         control with an affiliate,  and amounts  relating to its investment are
         included in investment in joint  ventures.  The following  presents the
         combined, condensed financial information for the joint venture at:

         The  Company  did not  recognize  any income  from this  joint  venture
         because the property owned by the joint venture was not  operational as
         of September 30, 1998.

3.       Related Party Transactions:

         During  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998  and  1997,  the
         Partnership   incurred   $72,610  and  $1,697,011,   respectively,   in
         syndication   costs  due  to  CNL  Securities  Corp.  for  services  in
         connection with selling units of limited partnership  interest.  During
         the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998 and 1997,  a  substantial
         portion of these amounts  ($67,539 and  $1,591,343,  respectively)  was
         reallowed to other broker-dealers.

         In addition,  during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
         the  Partnership  incurred  $4,271 and  $99,824,  respectively,  in due
         diligence expense  reimbursement fees due to CNL Securities Corp. These
         fees equal 0.5% of the limited  partner  contributions  of $854,241 and
         $19,964,832,  received  during the nine months ended September 30, 1998
         and 1997,  respectively.  The majority of these fees were  reallowed to
         other broker-dealers for payment of bona fide due diligence expenses.

         Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
         the  Partnership  incurred  $38,441  and  $898,417,   respectively,  in
         acquisition  fees  due to CNL  Fund  Advisors,  Inc.  for  services  in
         finding,   negotiating  and  acquiring  properties  on  behalf  of  the
         Partnership.  These fees represent 4.5% of the limited  partner capital
         contributions  received during the nine months ended September 30, 1998
         and 1997,  and are included in land and buildings on operating  leases,
         net investment in direct financing leases, investment in joint venture,
         and other assets.

         In addition,  during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
         the  Partnership  incurred  management  fees  of  $21,180  and  $9,232,
         respectively, due to CNL Fund Advisors, Inc.

         During the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998 and 1997,  certain
         affiliates  of the general  partners  provided  various  administrative
         services to the Partnership,  including services related to accounting;
         financial, tax and regulatory compliance and reporting;  lease and loan
         compliance; limited partners distributions and reporting; due diligence

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

         CNL Income Fund XVIII,  Ltd. (the  "Partnership")  is a Florida limited
partnership that 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 are to be
constructed  (the  "Properties"),  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 lessee generally
responsible  for all repairs and  maintenance,  property  taxes,  insurance  and
utilities. As of September 30, 1998, the Partnership owned 24 Properties,  which
included one Property  owned by a joint  venture in which the  Partnership  is a
co-venturer.

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.  The  Partnership's  offering  of  units
terminated  on February 6, 1998 at which time the maximum  offering  proceeds of
3,500,000 units ($35,000,000) had been received from investors.  The Partnership
therefore will derive no additional capital resources from the offering.

         As of September  30, 1998,  net  proceeds to the  Partnership  from its
offering of units,  after  deduction of  organizational  and offering  expenses,
totaled $30,800,000. Of this amount,  approximately $29,855,600 had been used to
invest or committed  for  investment  in 24  Properties,  including one Property
owned by a joint venture in which the  Partnership is a co-venturer,  and to pay
acquisition  fees  and  certain  acquisition  expenses,   leaving  approximately
$944,400 of offering  proceeds  available for  investment in  Properties.  As of
September 30, 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 October 20, 1998, had not acquired any such Properties.

         During  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998  and  1997,  the
Partnership  generated cash from  operations  (which includes cash received from
tenants,  distributions  from joint  ventures,  and  interest  and other  income
received, less cash paid for expenses) of $2,158,678 and $909,568, respectively.
The increase in cash from  operations  for the nine months ended  September  30,
1998,  as compared to the nine months ended  September  30, 1997, is primarily a
result of changes in income and expenses as described in "Results of Operations"
below.

         Other  sources and uses of capital  included the  following  during the
nine months ended September 30, 1998.

         In  August  1998,  the   Partnership   entered  into  a  joint  venture
arrangement,  Columbus Joint Venture, with affiliates of the general partners to
construct  and hold one  restaurant  Property.  As of September  30,  1998,  the
Partnership had contributed $166,025 to purchase land and pay for

                                       10

Liquidity and Capital Resources - Continued

construction  costs  relating  to  the  joint  venture.   When  construction  is
completed,  the Partnership  will have an approximate 40 percent interest in the
profits and losses of the joint venture.

         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 September 30, 1998, the Partnership had $1,866,555
invested in such short-term  investments,  as compared to $4,143,327 at December
31,  1997.  The decrease in the amount  invested in  short-term  investments  is
primarily  attributable  to acquiring one  additional  Property and investing in
Columbus  Joint  Venture,  as  described  above,  and as a result of the payment
during the nine months ended September 30, 1998, of  construction  costs accrued
for certain  Properties at December 31, 1997.  The funds  remaining at September
30, 1998,  will be used to purchase and develop  additional  Properties,  to pay
acquisition   costs,  to  pay  limited  partner   distributions,   to  meet  the
Partnership's  working  capital and other  needs and,  in the general  partners'
discretion, to create cash reserves.

         During the nine months  ended  September  30, 1997,  affiliates  of the
general  partners  incurred on behalf of the  Partnership  $210,866  for certain
organizational and offering expenses. In addition,  during the nine months ended
September  30, 1998 and 1997,  affiliates  of the general  partners  incurred on
behalf of the  Partnership  $35,864  and  $125,693,  respectively,  for  certain
acquisition  expenses  and  $65,271  and  $35,259,   respectively,  for  certain
operating  expenses.  As of September 30, 1998 and 1997,  the  Partnership  owed
$14,652 and $75,844, respectively, to related parties for such amounts, fees and
other reimbursements. As of October 20, 1998, the Partnership had reimbursed all
such amounts. Amounts payable to other parties, including distributions payable,
decreased to $725,865 at September  30, 1998,  from  $1,629,719  at December 31,
1997,  primarily  as a  result  of the  payment  during  the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1998,  of  construction  costs  accrued for certain  Properties at
December 31, 1997.

         Based on cash from operations,  the Partnership declared  distributions
to the limited  partners of  $1,957,764  and  $800,312 for the nine months ended
September  30,  1998 and  1997,  respectively  ($700,000  and  $379,266  for the
quarters  ended  September  30, 1998 and 1997,  respectively).  This  represents
distributions  of $0.56 and $0.41 per  weighted  average  limited  partner  unit
outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,  respectively
($0.20 and $0.15 per unit for the quarters  ended  September  30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively).  No  distributions  were  made to the  general  partners  for the
quarters  and nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998  and  1997.  No  amounts
distributed to the limited partners for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
and 1997, 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.



                                       11
<PAGE>


Liquidity and Capital Resources - Continued

The general  partners have been informed by CNL American  Properties  Fund, Inc.
("APF"), an affiliate of the general partners,  that it intends to significantly
increase  its asset base by  proposing  to  acquire  affiliates  of the  general
partners  which have  similar  restaurant  property  portfolios,  including  the
Partnership. APF is a real estate investment trust whose primary business is the
ownership of restaurant properties leased on a long-term,  "triple-net" basis to
operators of national and regional restaurant chains.  Accordingly,  the general
partners  anticipate  that APF will make an offer to acquire the  Partnership in
exchange for  securities of APF. The general  partners  have  recently  retained
financial and legal  advisors to assist them in evaluating and  negotiating  any
offer that may be proposed by APF.  However,  at this time, APF has made no such
offer. In the event that an offer is made, the general partners will evaluate it
and if the  general  partners  believe  that the  offer is worth  pursuing,  the
general  partners will promptly  inform the limited  partners.  Any agreement to
sell the Partnership would be subject to the approval of the limited partners in
accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement.

         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 continue to generate cash flow
in excess of operating expenses.

         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

         During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership  owned
and leased 20 wholly owned Properties,  three of which were under  construction,
and during the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the  Partnership  owned and
leased 23 wholly owned  Properties,  to operators of fast-food and  family-style
restaurant  chains.  In  connection  therewith,  during  the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997,  the  Partnership  earned  $2,228,324 and $711,461,
respectively,  in rental  income from  operating  leases and earned  income from
direct  financing leases from these  Properties,  $781,638 and $437,927 of which
was earned for the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
increase in rental and earned  income  during the quarter and nine months  ended
September 30, 1998,  as compared to the quarter and nine months ended  September
30, 1997, is primarily  attributable to the acquisition of additional Properties
subsequent to September 30, 1997, and the fact that  Properties  acquired during
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997,  were  operational for the
full quarter and nine months ended  September 30, 1998, as compared to a partial
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997.

         In October 1998, the tenant of four Boston Market  Properties filed for
bankruptcy.  If the leases are eventually rejected, the Partnership  anticipates
that rental  income  relating to these  Properties  will  terminate  until a new
tenant is located or until the Properties are sold and the

                                       12

proceeds from such sales are reinvested in additional  Properties.  However, the
general  partners do not  anticipate  that any decrease in rental  income due to
lost revenues  relating to these  Properties  will have a material effect on the
Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

         Operating  expenses,  including  depreciation  and  amortization,  were
$453,362 and $194,483  for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively,  $171,052  and $87,845 of which was  incurred  during the quarters
ended  September  30, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The  increase in  operating
expenses  during the  quarter and nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998,  as
compared to the quarter and nine months ended  September  30, 1997, is primarily
attributable  to an  increase  in  depreciation  expense  as the  result  of the
acquisition of additional  Properties  subsequent to September 30, 1997, and the
fact that Properties acquired during the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1997, were  operational for the full quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1998, as compared to a partial  quarter and nine months ended  September 30,
1997.

         Operating  expenses also  increased  during the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1998 as a result of an increase in  administrative  expenses
for services related to accounting; financial, tax and regulatory compliance and
reporting;  lease  and  loan  compliance;   limited  partner  distributions  and
reporting;   and  investor  relations  (including   administrative  services  in
connection  with selling units of limited  partnership  interest) and management
fees as a result of the increase in rental  revenues,  as described  above.  The
increase  during the nine months  ended  September  30, 1998 was also due to the
Partnership  incurring  additional taxes relating to the filing of various state
tax returns during 1998.

         In addition,  the increase in operating expenses during the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1997, is partially  attributable to the fact that during the
quarter and nine months ended  September  30,  1998,  the  Partnership  recorded
approximately  $23,500  in real  estate  tax  expenses  due to the fact  that in
October  1998,  the  tenant  of the four  Boston  Market  Properties  filed  for
bankruptcy,  as described above. If the tenant decides to reject the leases, the
Partnership will continue to incur certain expenses,  such as real estate taxes,
insurance and  maintenance  until a new tenant or buyer for these  Properties is
located.

         In March 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  reached a
consensus in EITF 97-11,  entitled  "Accounting  for Internal  Costs Relating to
Real Estate Property  Acquisitions."  EITF 97-11 provides that internal costs of
identifying and acquiring operating Property should be expensed as incurred. Due
to the fact that the Partnership does not have an internal acquisitions function
and instead, contracts these services from CNL Fund Advisors, Inc., an affiliate
of the general partners,  EITF 97-11 had no material effect on the Partnership's
financial position or results of operations.

         In May  1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  reached  a
consensus in EITF 98-9, entitled  "Accounting for Contingent Rent in the Interim
Financial Periods." Adoption of this consensus did not have a material effect on
the Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

         The Year 2000 problem is the result of information  technology  systems
and embedded  systems  (products which are made with  microprocessor  (computer)
chips such as HVAC systems,  physical  security  systems and elevators)  using a
two-digit  format,  as  opposed  to four  digits,  to  indicate  the year.  Such
information  technology and embedded systems may be unable to properly recognize
and process date-sensitive information beginning January 1, 2000.

         The  Partnership  does  not have any  information  technology  systems.
Affiliates  of the general  partners  provide all services  requiring the use of
information  technology  systems  pursuant to a  management  agreement  with the
Partnership.  The maintenance of embedded systems,  if any, at the Partnership's
properties is the  responsibility of the tenants of the properties in accordance
with the terms of the Partnership's  leases. The general partners and affiliates
have  established  a  team  dedicated  to  reviewing  the  internal  information
technology systems used in the operation of the Partnership, and the information
technology  and  embedded  systems  and the Year  2000  compliance  plans of the
Partnership's  tenants,   significant  suppliers,   financial  institutions  and
transfer agent.

         The  information  technology  infrastructure  of the  affiliates of the
general  partners  consists of a network of personal  computers and servers that
were  obtained   from  major   suppliers.   The   affiliates   utilize   various
administrative  and financial  software  applications on that  infrastructure to
perform the business functions of the Partnership.  The inability of the general
partners  and  affiliates  to identify  and timely  correct  material  Year 2000
deficiencies  in  the  software  and/or   infrastructure   could  result  in  an
interruption in, or failure of, certain of the Partnership's business activities
or operations.  Accordingly,  the general partners and affiliates have requested
and are evaluating  documentation from the suppliers of the affiliates regarding
the Year  2000  compliance  of  their  products  that  are used in the  business
activities or operations of the  Partnership.  The costs expected to be incurred
by the general  partners and  affiliates to become Year 2000  compliant  will be
incurred by the general  partners and  affiliates;  therefore,  these costs will
have no impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

         The  Partnership  has  material  third  party  relationships  with  its
tenants,  financial  institutions and transfer agent. The Partnership depends on
its  tenants  for  rents  and  cash  flows,   its  financial   institutions  for
availability  of cash and its  transfer  agent to  maintain  and track  investor
information.  If any of these third parties are unable to meet their obligations
to the  Partnership  because of the Year 2000  deficiencies,  such a failure may
have a material impact on the  Partnership.  Accordingly,  the general  partners
have requested and are evaluating  documentation from the Partnership's tenants,
financial  institutions,   and  transfer  agent  relating  to  their  Year  2000
compliance  plans.  At this time,  the general  partners  have not yet  received
sufficient   certifications   to  be  assured   that  the   tenants,   financial
institutions, and transfer agent

                                       14

Results of Operations - Continued

have fully  considered and mitigated any potential  material  impact of the Year
2000 deficiencies. Therefore, the general partners do not, at this time, know of
the potential  costs to the  Partnership  of any adverse impact or effect of any
Year 2000 deficiencies by these third parties.

         The general  partners  currently  expect that all year 2000  compliance
testing  and any  necessary  remedial  measures  on the  information  technology
systems used in the business  activities and operations of the Partnership  will
be completed prior to June 30, 1999.  Based on the progress the general partners
and affiliates  have made in identifying and addressing the  Partnership's  Year
2000 issues and the plan and timeline to complete the  compliance  program,  the
general  partners  do  not  foresee   significant   risks  associated  with  the
Partnership's  Year 2000 compliance at this time.  Because the general  partners
and affiliates  are still  evaluating the status of the systems used in business
activities  and  operations  of the  Partnership  and the  systems  of the third
parties with which the Partnership  conducts its business,  the general partners
have not yet  developed  a  comprehensive  contingency  plan and are  unable  to
identify "the most  reasonably  likely worst case scenario" at this time. As the
general partners identify  significant  risks related to the Partnership's  Year
2000 compliance or if the Partnership's Year 2000 compliance  program's progress
deviates  substantially from the anticipated timeline, the general partners will
develop appropriate contingency plans.
