PART I


Item 1. Business

CNL Income Fund III, Ltd. (the "Registrant" or the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership which was organized pursuant to the laws of the State of
Florida on June 1, 1987. 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 August 10, 1987, the Partnership offered
for sale up to $25,000,000 in limited partnership interests (the "Units")
(50,000 Units at $500 per Unit) pursuant to a registration statement on Form
S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The offering terminated on
April 29, 1988, as of which date the maximum offering proceeds of $25,000,000
had been received from investors who were admitted to the Partnership as limited
partners (the "Limited Partners").

The Partnership was organized primarily 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 selected national and regional fast-food restaurant
chains (the "Restaurant Chains"). Net proceeds to the Partnership from its
offering of Units, after deduction of organizational and offering expenses,
totalled $22,125,102, and were used to acquire 32 Properties, including
interests in two Properties owned by joint ventures in which the Partnership is
a co-venturer.

During 1997, the Partnership sold its Properties in Chicago, Illinois;
Bradenton, Florida; Kissimmee, Florida; Roswell, Georgia and Mason City, Iowa.
The Partnership reinvested a portion of these net sales proceeds in a Property
in Fayetteville, North Carolina. In addition, the Partnership reinvested a
portion of these net sales proceeds in three Properties, one each in Englewood,
Colorado; Miami, Florida; and Overland Park, Kansas, as tenants-in-common, with
affiliates of the General Partners during 1997 and 1998. During 1998, the
Partnership sold its Properties in Daytona Beach, Fernandina Beach, and Punta
Gorda, Florida; Hazard, Kentucky; and a Po Folks Property in Hagerstown,
Maryland. The Partnership reinvested a portion of the net sales proceeds in a
joint venture arrangement, RTO Joint Venture, with an affiliate of the General
Partners to purchase, construct and hold one Property. During 1999, the
Partnership sold its Perkins Property in Flagstaff, Arizona and its Denny's
Property in Hagerstown, Maryland. The Partnership reinvested the majority of the
remaining net sales proceeds from the 1998 and 1999 sales in a Property in
Baytown, Texas as Tenants-in Common, with affiliates of the General Partners,
and in Properties in Montgomery, Alabama; and a Property in Auburn, Alabama.
During 2000, the Partnership sold its Property in Plant City, Florida.

As a result of the above transactions, as of December 31, 2000, the
Partnership owned 27 Properties. The 27 Properties include interests in three
Properties owned by joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer and
four Properties owned with affiliates of the General Partners as
tenants-in-common. Generally, 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 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 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. 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 or
joint venture purchase options granted to certain lessees.

On March 11, 1999, the Partnership entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger with CNL American Properties Fund, Inc. ("APF"), pursuant to which the
Partnership would be merged with and into a subsidiary of APF (the "Merger").
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. Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger,
APF was to issue shares of its common stock as consideration for the Merger. On
March 1, 2000, the General Partners and APF announced that they had mutually
agreed to terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger. The agreement to terminate
the Agreement and Plan of Merger was based, in large part, on the General
Partners' concern that, in light of market conditions relating to publicly
traded real estate investment trusts, the value of the transaction had
diminished. As a result of such diminishment, the General Partners' ability to
unequivocally recommend voting for the transaction, in the exercise of their
fiduciary duties, had become questionable. The General Partners are continuing
to evaluate strategic alternatives for the Partnership including alternatives to
provide liquidity to the Limited Partners.

Leases

Although there are variations in the specific terms of the leases, the
following is a summarized description of the general structure of the
Partnership's leases. The leases of the Properties owned by the Partnership and
joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer provide for initial
terms ranging from 15 to 20 years (the average being 18 years), and expire
between 2002 and 2019. Generally, leases are on a triple-net basis, with the
lessees responsible for all repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance
and utilities. The leases of the Properties generally provide for minimum base
annual rental payments (payable in monthly installments) ranging from
approximately $23,000 to $191,900. The majority of the leases provide for
percentage rent, based on sales in excess of a specified amount, to be paid
annually. In addition, some leases provide for increases in the annual base rent
during the lease term.

Generally, the leases of the Properties provide for two to five
five-year renewal options subject to the same terms and conditions as the
initial lease. Lessees of 21 of the Partnership's 27 Properties also have been
granted options to purchase Properties at each Property's then fair market
value, or pursuant to a formula based on the original cost of the Property, if
greater, after a specified portion of the lease term has elapsed. Fair market
value will be determined through an appraisal by an independent firm.
Additionally, certain leases provide the lessee an option to purchase up to a 49
percent interest in the Property, after a specified portion of the lease term
has elapsed, at an option purchase price similar to that described above,
multiplied by the percentage interest in the Property with respect to which the
option is being exercised.

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

Major Tenants

During 2000, two lessees of the Partnership, Golden Corral Corporation
and IHOP Properties, Inc., each contributed more than ten percent of the
Partnership's total rental and earned income (including rental income from the
Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of rental
and earned income from two Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and
four Properties owned with affiliates of the General Partners as
tenants-in-common). As of December 31, 2000, Golden Corral Corporation was the
lessee under leases relating to five restaurants, and IHOP Properties Inc. was
the lessee under leases relating to four restaurants. It is anticipated that,
based on the minimum rental payments required by the leases, these lessees will
continue to contribute more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental
and earned income in 2001. In addition, three Restaurant Chains, Golden Corral
Family Steakhouse Restaurants ("Golden Corral"), IHOP, and KFC, each accounted
for more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental and earned income in
2000 (including rental income from the Partnership's consolidated joint venture
and the Partnership's share of the rental and earned income from two Properties
owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and four Properties owned with affiliates
of the General Partners as tenants-in-common). In 2001, it is anticipated that
these three Restaurant Chains each will continue to account for more than ten
percent of total rental and income to which the Partnership is entitled under
the terms of the leases. Any failure of these lessees or any of these Restaurant
Chains could materially affect the Partnership's income, if the Partnership is
not able to re-lease these Properties in a timely manner. As of December 31,
2000, Golden Corral Corporation leased Properties with an aggregate carrying
value in excess of 20 percent of the total assets of the Partnership.






Joint Venture and Tenancy in Common Arrangements

The Partnership has entered into a joint venture arrangement,
Tuscawilla Joint Venture, with three unaffiliated entities to purchase and hold
one Property. In addition, the Partnership has entered into two separate joint
venture arrangements: Titusville Joint Venture with CNL Income Fund IV, Ltd., an
affiliate of the General Partners, to purchase and hold one Property; and RTO
Joint Venture with CNL Income Fund V, Ltd., an affiliate of the General
Partners, to construct and hold one Property. Construction for the Property
owned by RTO Joint Venture was completed and rent commenced in December 1998.
The affiliates are limited partnerships organized pursuant to the laws of the
state of Florida.

The joint venture arrangements provide for the Partnership and its
joint venture partners to share in all costs and benefits associated with the
joint venture in accordance with their respective percentage interests in the
joint venture. The Partnership has a 69.07%, 73.4%, and 46.88% interest in
Tuscawilla Joint Venture, Titusville Joint Venture, and RTO Joint Venture,
respectively. The Partnership and its joint venture partners are also jointly
and severally liable for all debts, obligations and other liabilities of the
joint venture.

Each joint venture has an initial term of approximately 20 years
(generally the same term as the initial term of the lease for the Property in
which the joint venture invested) and, after the expiration of the initial term,
continues in existence from year to year unless terminated at the option of any
joint venture partner or by an event of dissolution. Events of dissolution
include the bankruptcy, insolvency or termination of any joint venturer, sale of
the Property owned by the joint venture and mutual agreement of the Partnership
and its joint venture partner to dissolve the joint venture.

The Partnership has management control of Tuscawilla Joint Venture and
shares management control equally with affiliates of the General Partners for
Titusville Joint Venture and RTO Joint Venture. The joint venture agreements
restrict each venturer's ability to sell, transfer or assign its joint venture
interest without first offering it for sale to its joint venture partners,
either upon such terms and conditions as to which the ventures may agree or, in
the event the ventures cannot agree, on the same terms and conditions as any
offer from a third party to purchase such joint venture interest.

Net cash flow from operations of Tuscawilla Joint Venture, Titusville
Joint Venture and RTO Joint Venture is distributed 69.07%, 73.4% and 46.88%,
respectively, to the Partnership and the balance is distributed to each other
joint venture partner in accordance with its respective percentage interest in
the joint venture. Any liquidation proceeds, after paying joint venture debts
and liabilities and funding reserves for contingent liabilities, will be
distributed first to the joint venture partners with positive capital account
balances in proportion to such balances until such balances equal zero, and
thereafter in proportion to each joint venture partner's percentage interest in
the joint venture.

In addition to the above joint venture arrangements, the Partnership
has entered into four agreements to hold a Property as tenants-in-common: one in
Englewood, Colorado, with CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd.; one in Overland Park,
Kansas, with CNL Income Fund II, Ltd. and CNL Income Fund VI, Ltd.; one in
Miami, Florida, with CNL Income Fund VII, Ltd., CNL Income Fund X, Ltd., and CNL
Income Fund XIII, Ltd.; and one in Baytown, Texas, with CNL Income Fund VI, Ltd.
Each of the CNL Income Funds is an affiliate of the General Partners. The
agreements provide for the Partnership and the affiliates to share in the
profits and losses of the Properties in proportion to each party's percentage
interest. The Partnership owns a 33 percent, 25.87%, 9.84% and 20 percent
interest in the Properties, respectively.

Each of the affiliates is a limited Partnership organized pursuant to
the laws of the state of Florida. The tenancy in common agreement restricts each
party's ability to sell, transfer, or assign its interest in the tenancy in
common's Property without first offering it for sale to the remaining party to
the agreement.

The use of joint venture and tenancy in common arrangements allows the
Partnership to fully invest its available funds at times at which it would not
have sufficient funds to purchase an additional Property, or at times when a
suitable opportunity to purchase an additional Property is not available. The
use of joint venture and tenancy in common arrangements also provides the
Partnership with increased diversification of its portfolio among a greater
number of Properties. In addition, tenancy in common arrangements may allow the
Partnership to defer the gain for federal income tax purposes upon the sale of
the Property if the proceeds are reinvested in an additional Property.

Property Management

CNL Funds Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partners, acts as
manager of the Partnership's Properties pursuant to a property 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-half
of one percent of Partnership assets (valued at cost) under management, not to
exceed the lesser of one percent of gross rental revenues or competitive fees
for comparable services. Under the management agreement, the property management
fee is subordinated to receipt by the Limited Partners of an aggregate, ten
percent, noncumulative, noncompounded annual return on their adjusted capital
contributions (the "10% Preferred Return"), calculated in accordance with the
Partnership's limited partnership agreement (the "Partnership Agreement"). In
any year in which the Limited Partners have not received the 10% Preferred
Return, no property management fee will be paid.

The property 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 and family-style restaurant business is characterized by
intense competition. The restaurants on the Partnership's Properties compete
with independently owned restaurants, restaurants which are part of local or
regional chains, and restaurants in other well-known national chains, including
those offering different types of food and service.

Employees

The Partnership has no employees. The officers of CNL Realty
Corporation and the officers and employees of APF, the parent Company 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 Financial 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, 2000, the Partnership owned 27 Properties. Of the 27
Properties, 20 are owned by the Partnership in fee simple, three are owned
through joint venture arrangements and four are owned through tenancy in common
arrangements. See Item 1. Business - Joint Venture and Tenancy in Common
Arrangements. The Partnership is not permitted to encumber its Properties under
the terms of its partnership agreement. Reference is made to the Schedule of
Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation for a listing of the Properties and
their respective costs, including acquisition fees and certain acquisition
expenses.

Description of Properties

Land. The Partnership's Property sites range from approximately 11,800
to 74,600 square feet depending upon building size and local demographic
factors. Sites purchased by the Partnership are in locations zoned for
commercial use which have been reviewed for traffic patterns and volume.






The following table lists the Properties owned by the Partnership as of
December 31, 2000 by state. More detailed information regarding the location of
the Properties is contained in the Schedule of Real Estate and Accumulated
Depreciation filed for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Buildings. Each of the Properties owned by the Partnership includes a
building that is one of a Restaurant Chain's approved designs. The buildings
generally are rectangular and are constructed from various combinations of
stucco, steel, wood, brick and tile. Building sizes range from approximately
1,900 to 7,900 square feet. Generally, all buildings on Properties acquired by
the Partnership are freestanding and surrounded by paved parking areas.
Buildings are suitable for conversion to various uses, although modifications
may be required prior to use for other than restaurant operations. As of
December 31, 2000, the Partnership had no plans for renovation of the
Properties. Depreciation expense is computed for buildings and improvements
using the straight line method using depreciable lives of 31.5 and 40 years for
federal income tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2000, the aggregate cost of the Properties owned by
the Partnership and its consolidated joint venture, and the unconsolidated joint
ventures (including the Properties owned through tenancy in common arrangements)
for federal income tax purposes was $14,094,079 and $9,419,158, respectively.

The General Partners consider the Properties to be well-maintained and
sufficient for the Partnership's operations.

The General Partners believe that the Properties are adequately covered
by insurance. In addition, the General Partners have obtained contingent
liability and property coverage for the Partnership. This insurance 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.

Leases. The Partnership leases the Properties to operators of selected
national and regional fast-food restaurant chains. The leases are generally on a
long-term "triple net" basis, meaning that the tenant is responsible for
repairs, maintenance, property taxes, utilities and insurance. Generally, a
lessee is 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. The terms of the leases of the
Properties owned by the Partnership are described in Item 1. Business - Leases.

At December 31, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, and 1996, the Properties were
96%, 98%, 98%, 93%, and 94% occupied, respectively. The following is a schedule
of the average rent per Property for each of the years ended December 31:

Leases with Major Tenants. The terms of each of the leases with the
Partnership's major tenants as of December 31, 2000 (see Item 1. Business -
Major Tenants), are substantially the same as those described in Item 1.
Business - Leases.

Golden Corral Corporation leases five Golden Corral restaurants
pursuant to leases, each with an initial term of 15 years (expiring in 2002) and
an average minimum base annual rent of approximately $64,400 (ranging from
approximately $48,000 to $76,400).

IHOP Properties, Inc. leases four IHOP restaurants. The initial term of
each lease is 20 years (expiring between 2017 and 2019) and the average minimum
base annual rent is approximately $143,800 (ranging from approximately $120,200
to $163,200).


Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Neither the Partnership, nor its General Partners or any affiliate of
the General Partners, nor any of their respective Properties, is 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

(a) As of March 15, 2001, there were 2,037 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. During 2000, Limited Partners who
wished to sell their Units may have offered the Units for sale pursuant to the
Partnership's distribution reinvestment plan (the "Plan"), and Limited Partners
who wished to have their distributions used to acquire additional Units (to the
extent Units were available for purchase), may have done so pursuant to such
Plan. The General Partners had the right to prohibit transfers of Units. From
inception through December 31, 2000, the price paid for any Unit transferred
pursuant to the Plan ranged from $382.50 to $475 per Unit. The price paid for
any Units transferred other than pursuant to the Plan was subject to negotiation
by the purchaser and the selling Limited Partner. The Partnership will not
redeem or repurchase Units.

The following table reflects, for each calendar quarter, the high, low
and average sales prices for transfers of Units during 2000 and 1999 other than
pursuant to the Plan, net of commissions.





2000 (1) 1999 (1)
------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
High Low Average High Low Average
-------- --------- ---------- -------- --------- -----------
First Quarter $324 $324 $324 $400 $343 $371
Second Quarter 404 316 360 389 389 389
Third Quarter 320 283 306 354 285 324
Fourth Quarter 300 267 297 352 318 345




(1) A total of 215 and 387.5 Units were transferred other than pursuant to
the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

The capital contribution per Unit was $500. 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, 2000 and 1999, the Partnership
declared cash distributions of $2,475,000 and $2,000,000, respectively, to the
Limited Partners. Distributions during 2000 included $600,000 in a special
distribution, as a result of the distribution of net sale proceeds from the 2000
sale of the Property in Plant City, Florida. This amount was applied toward the
Limited Partners' cumulative 10% Preferred Return. No distributions have been
made to the General Partners to date. This special distribution was effectively
a return of a portion of the Limited Partners' investment, although, in
accordance with the Partnership agreement, it was applied to the Limited
Partners' unpaid cumulative preferred return. The reduced number of Properties
for which the Partnership receives rental payments, as well as ongoing
operations, reduced the Partnership's revenues. The decrease in Partnership
revenues, combined with the fact that a significant portion of the Partnership's
expenses are fixed in nature, resulted in a decrease in cash distributions to
the Limited Partners during 2000. No amounts distributed to the Limited Partners
for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, 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 at the close of each of the
Partnership's calendar quarters. These amounts include monthly distributions
made in arrears for the Limited Partners electing to receive such distributions
on this basis.





2000 1999

First Quarter $ 500,000 $ 500,000
Second Quarter 500,000 500,000
Third Quarter 1,037,500 500,000
Fourth Quarter 437,500 500,000



The Partnership intends to continue to make distributions of cash
available for distribution to the Limited Partners on a quarterly basis,
although the General Partners, in their sole discretion, may elect to pay
distributions monthly.

(b) Not applicable.

(2) Net income for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
includes gains on sale of assets of $16,855, $293,512, $497,321, and
$1,027,590, respectively. In addition, net income for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, includes provision for loss on assets of
$25,821 and $32,819, respectively.

(3) Distributions for the year ended December 31, 2000 and 1998, includes a
special distribution to the Limited Partners of $600,000 and
$1,477,747, respectively, as a result of the distribution of the net
sales proceeds from Properties sold.

The above selected financial data should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and related notes contained in Item 8 hereof.


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

The Partnership was organized on June 1, 1987, to acquire for cash,
either directly or through joint venture arrangements, both newly constructed
and existing restaurant Propertie, as well as land upon which restaurant
Properties were to be constructed, to be leased primarily to operators of
selected national and regional fast-food Restaurant Chains. The leases generally
are triple-net leases, with the lessees generally responsible for all repairs
and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities. As of December 31,
2000, the Partnership owned 27 Properties, either directly or indirectly through
joint venture or tenancy in common arrangements.

Capital Resources

During the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the
Partnership generated cash from operations (which includes cash received from
tenants, distributions from joint ventures and interest received, less cash paid
for expenses) of $1,617,213, $1,825,724, and $1,821,296, respectively. The
decrease in cash from operations during 2000 as compared to 1999, was primarily
a result of changes in income and expenses as described in "Results of
Operations" below and the increase during 1999, as compared to 1998, was
primarily due to the changes in the Partnership's working capital.

Other sources and uses of capital included the following during the
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.

In January 1998, the Partnership reinvested the remaining net sales
proceeds from the 1997 sale of the Property in Kissimmee, Florida in an IHOP
Property in Overland Park, Kansas, with affiliates of the General Partners, as
tenants-in-common. In connection therewith, the Partnership and the affiliate
entered into an agreement whereby each co-venturer shares in the profits and
losses of the Property in proportion to each co-venturer's percentage interest.
As of December 31, 2000, the Partnership owned a 25.87% interest in the
Property. A portion of the transaction relating to the sale of the Property in
Kissimmee, Florida, and the reinvestment of a portion of the proceeds in an IHOP
Property in Englewood, Colorado, qualified as a like-kind exchange transaction
for federal income tax purposes.

In addition, in June 1997, the Partnership sold its Property in
Roswell, Georgia, to a third party for $985,000 and received net sales proceeds
of $942,981, resulting in a gain of $237,608 for financial reporting purposes.
This Property was originally acquired by the Partnership in June 1988 and had a
cost of approximately $775,200, excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous
acquisition expenses; therefore, the Partnership sold the Property for
approximately $167,800 in excess of its original purchase price. In connection
therewith, the Partnership received $257,981 in cash and accepted the remaining
sales proceeds in the form of a promissory note in the principal sum of
$685,000, collateralized by a mortgage on the Property. During 1998, the
Partnership collected the full amount of the outstanding mortgage note
receivable balance of $678,730. In December 1997, the Partnership reinvested a
portion of the net sales proceeds in a Property located in Miami, Florida, as
tenants-in-common with an affiliate of the General Partners. In connection
therewith, the Partnership and the affiliate entered into an agreement whereby
each co-venturer shares in the profits and losses of the Property in proportion
to each co-venturer's percentage interest. As of December 31, 2000, the
Partnership owned a 9.84% interest in the Property. In addition, in January
1999, the Partnership reinvested the remaining net sales proceeds in a Burger
King Property in Montgomery, Alabama, at an approximate cost of $939,900. The
Partnership used the remaining net sales proceeds for other Partnership
purposes. The Partnership distributed amounts sufficient to enable the Limited
Partners to pay federal and state income taxes, if any (at a level reasonably
assumed by the General Partners), resulting from the sale.

In January 1998, the Partnership reinvested the net sales proceeds from
the 1997 sale of the Property in Mason City, Iowa in a Property in Overland
Park, Kansas, with affiliates of the General Partners, as tenants-in-common. A
portion of the transaction, relating to the sale of the Property in Mason City,
Iowa, and the reinvestment of the proceeds in a Property in Overland Park,
Kansas, with affiliates as tenants-in-common, qualified as a like-kind exchange
transaction for federal income tax purposes.

In January 1998, the Partnership sold its Property in Fernandina Beach,
Florida, to the tenant, for $730,000 and received net sales proceeds of $724,172
resulting in a gain of $242,129 for financial reporting purposes. In addition,
in January 1998, the Partnership sold its Property in Daytona Beach, Florida, to
the tenant for $1,050,000 and received net sale proceeds of $1,006,501,
resulting in a gain of $267,759 for financial reporting purposes. These
Properties were originally acquired by the Partnership in May 1988 and August
1988, respectively, and had a total cost of approximately $1,464,200, excluding
acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition expenses; therefore, the
Partnership sold the Properties for approximately $266,500 in excess of their
original purchase price. In connection with the sale of these Properties, the
Partnership incurred deferred, subordinated, real estate disposition fees of
$53,400. The Partnership distributed $1,477,747 of the net sales proceeds as a
special distribution to the Limited Partners and used the remaining proceeds to
pay liabilities of the Partnership. The Partnership distributed amounts
sufficient to enable the Limited Partners to pay federal and state income taxes,
if any (at a level reasonably assumed by the General Partners), resulting from
these sales.

In February 1998, the Partnership also sold its Property in Punta
Gorda, Florida, to a third party, for $675,000 and received net sales proceeds
of $665,973, resulting in a gain of $73,485 for financial reporting purposes. In
May 1998, the Partnership contributed the net sales proceeds to a joint venture
arrangement, RTO Joint Venture, as described below. The Partnership distributed
amounts sufficient to enable the Limited Partners to pay federal and state
income taxes, if any (at a level reasonably assumed by the General Partners),
resulting from these sales.

In May 1998, the Partnership entered into a joint venture, RTO Joint
Venture, with an affiliate of the General Partners, to construct and hold one
restaurant Property. As of December 31, 2000, the Partnership had contributed
$676,952 to purchase land and pay for construction relating to the joint
venture. Construction was completed and rent commenced in December 1998. As of
December 31, 2000 the Partnership has a 46.88% interest in the profits and
losses of the joint venture.

In June 1998, the Partnership sold its Po Folks Property in Hagerstown,
Maryland, to a third party, for $825,000 and received net sales proceeds of
$789,639, resulting in gain of $13,213 for financial reporting purposes. In
January 1999, the Partnership reinvested the majority of the net sales proceeds
in a Property in Montgomery, Alabama. The Partnership intends to use the
remaining net sales proceeds to pay distributions to the Limited Partners and
for other Partnership purposes. The Partnership distributed amounts sufficient
to enable the Limited Partners to pay federal and state income taxes, if any (at
a level reasonably assumed by the General Partners), resulting from these sales.

In September 1998, the Partnership entered into a new lease agreement
for the Golden Corral Property in Stockbridge, Georgia. In connection therewith,
the Partnership funded $150,000 in renovation costs.

In December 1998, the Partnership sold its Property in Hazard,
Kentucky, to a third party for $435,000 and received net sales proceeds of
$432,625, resulting in a loss of $99,265 for financial reporting purposes. The
Partnership intends to use the net sales proceeds to pay distributions to the
Limited Partners and for other Partnership purposes. The Partnership distributed
amounts sufficient to enable the Limited Partners to pay federal and state
income taxes, if any (at a level reasonably assumed by the General Partners).

In April 1999, the Partnership sold its Property in Flagstaff, Arizona,
to the tenant for $1,103,127 and received net sales proceeds of $1,091,192,
resulting in a gain of $285,350 for financial reporting purposes. This Property
was originally acquired by the Partnership in October 1988 and had a cost of
approximately $993,500, excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition
expenses; therefore, the Partnership sold the Property for approximately $97,700
in excess of its original purchase price. In October 1999, the Partnership
reinvested a portion of the net sales proceeds it received from the sale of this
Property, in an IHOP Property located in Auburn, Alabama, at an approximate cost
of $1,440,200. A portion of the transaction, relating to the sale of the
Property in Flagstaff, Arizona, and the reinvestment of the net sales proceeds
in a Property in Auburn, Alabama, qualified as a like-kind exchange transaction
for federal income tax purposes. The Partnership distributed amounts sufficient
to enable the Limited Partners to pay federal and state income taxes, if any,
(at a level reasonably assumed by the General Partners), resulting from the
sale.

In June 1999, the Partnership sold its Denny's Property in Hagerstown,
Maryland, to the tenant for $710,000 and received net sales proceeds of
$700,977, resulting in a gain of $8,162 for financial reporting purposes. In
October 1999, the Partnership invested a portion of the net sales proceeds it
received from the sale in a Property in Baytown, Texas, with an affiliate of the
General Partners as tenants-in-common for a 20 percent interest in the Property.
In addition, in October 1999, the Partnership reinvested the remaining net sales
proceeds in an IHOP Property in Auburn, Alabama, as described above. The
Partnership distributed amounts sufficient to enable the Limited Partners to pay
federal and state income taxes, if any (at a level reasonably assumed by the
General Partners), resulting from the sale.

In September 2000, the Partnership sold its Property in Plant City,
Florida, to the tenant, for $509,865 and received net sales proceeds of $492,069
resulting in a gain of $16,855 for financial reporting purposes. In connection
with the sale of this Property, the Partnership incurred deferred, subordinated,
real estate disposition fees of $15,296. The Partnership distributed these net
sales proceeds as a special distribution to the Limited Partners. The
Partnership distributed amounts sufficient to enable the Limited Partners to pay
federal and state income taxes, if any (at a level reasonably assumed by the
General Partners), resulting from these sales.

None of the Properties owned by the Partnership, or the joint ventures
or tenancy in common arrangements in which the Partnership owns an interest, is
or may be encumbered. Subject to certain restrictions on borrowings from the
General Partners, however, the Partnership may borrow, in the discretion of the
General Partners, for the purpose of maintaining the operations of the
Partnership. The Partnership will not encumber any of the Properties in
connection with any borrowings or advances. The Partnership also will not borrow
under circumstances which would make the Limited Partners liable to creditors of
the Partnership. Affiliates of the General Partners from time to time incur
certain operating expenses on behalf of the Partnership for which the
Partnership reimburses the affiliates without interest.

Currently, rental income from the Partnership's Properties is invested
in money market accounts or other short-term, highly liquid investments such as
demand deposit accounts at commercial banks, money market accounts and
certificates of deposit with less than a 30-day maturity date, pending the
Partnership's use of such funds to pay Partnership expenses or to make
distributions to the partners. At December 31, 2000, the Partnership had
$1,011,733 invested in such short-term investments as compared to $578,746 at
December 31, 1999. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents at December 31,
2000, as compared to December 31, 1999, was partially a result of the
Partnership paying a special distribution of $600,000, as described below. As of
December 31, 2000, the average interest rate earned on the rental income
deposited in demand deposit accounts at commercial banks was approximately 3.47%
annually. The funds remaining at December 31, 2000, will be distributed to the
Limited Partners or used for other Partnership purposes.

Short-Term Liquidity

The Partnership's short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily
of the operating expenses of the Partnership.

The Partnership's investment strategy of acquiring Properties for cash
and generally 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.

Due to low operating expenses and ongoing cash flow, the General
Partners do not believe that working capital reserves are necessary at this
time. In addition, because the leases for the Partnership's Properties are
generally on a triple-net basis, it is not anticipated that a permanent reserve
for maintenance and repairs will be established 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, but not the obligation, to make
additional capital contributions if they deem it appropriate in connection with
the operations of the Partnership.

The Partnership generally distributes cash from operations to the
extent that the General Partners determine that such funds are available for
distribution. Based primarily on current and anticipated future cash from
operations and, for 2000 and 1998, a portion of the sales proceeds received from
the sales of Properties, the Partnership declared distributions to the Limited
Partners of $2,475,000, $2,000,000, and $3,477,747, for the years ended December
31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. This represents distributions of $49.50,
$40.00, and $69.55 per Unit for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and
1998, respectively. Distributions for 2000 included $600,000 as a result of the
distribution of the net sale proceeds from the sale of the Property is Plant
City, Florida, and the distributions for 1998 included $1,477,747 as a result of
the distribution of net sales proceeds from the sale of the Properties in
Fernandina Beach and Daytona Beach, Florida. This special distribution was
effectively a return of a portion of the Limited Partners' investment, although,
in accordance with the Partnership agreement, it was applied to the Limited
Partner's unpaid cumulative 10% Preferred Return. The reduced number of
Properties for which the Partnership receives rental payments, as well as
ongoing operations, reduced the Partnership's revenues. The decrease in
Partnership revenues, combined with the fact that a significant portion of the
Partnership's expenses are fixed in nature, resulted in a decrease in cash
distributions to the Limited Partners during 2000 and 1998. No amounts
distributed to the Limited Partners for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999,
or 1998 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.

During 2000, the general partners waived their right to receive future
distributions from the Partnership, including both distributions of operating
cash flow and distributions of liquidation proceeds, to the extent that the
cumulative amount of such distributions would exceed the balance in the general
partners' capital account as of December 31, 1999. Accordingly, the general
partners were not allocated any net income and did not receive any distributions
during the year ended December 31, 2000.

At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Partnership owed $8,707, and
$53,231, respectively, to affiliates for operating expenses and accounting and
administrative services. As of March 15, 2001, all such amounts had been
reimbursed to affiliates. In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2000,
and 1998 the Partnership incurred $15,296 and $53,400, respectively, in real
estate disposition fees due to an affiliate as a result of services provided in
connection with the sale of the Properties in Plant City, Daytona Beach and
Fernandina Beach, Florida. The payment of such fees is deferred until the
Limited Partners have received the sum of their cumulative 10% Preferred Return
and their adjusted capital contributions. Other liabilities, including
distributions payable, decreased to $494,987 at December 31, 2000, as compared
to $616,884 at December 31, 1999. The decrease during 2000, as compared to 1999,
is primarily a result of the fact that during 2000, the Partnership paid amounts
relating to the proposed merger with APF, as described below, that the
Partnership had accrued at December 31, 1999. The General Partners believe that
the Partnership has sufficient cash on hand to meet its current working capital
needs.

Long-Term Liquidity

The Partnership has no long-term debt or other long-term liquidity
requirements.

Results of Operations

During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Partnership and its
consolidated joint venture, Tuscawilla Joint Venture, owned and leased 27 wholly
owned Properties (including five Properties which were sold during 1998). During
the year ended December 31, 1999, the Partnership owned and leased 24 wholly
owned Properties (including two Properties which were sold during 1999). During
the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership owned and leased 21 wholly
owned Properties (including one Property which was sold during 2000). In
addition, during the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, the
Partnership was a co-venturer in a joint venture that owned and leased one
Property. During 1998, the Partnership also owned and leased three Properties,
with affiliates of the General Partners, as tenants-in-common. In addition,
during 1999 and 2000, the Partnership was a co-venturer in one additional joint
venture that owned and leased one Property and the Partnership owned and leased
one additional Property, with affiliates of the General Partners, as
tenants-in-common. As of December 31, 2000, the Partnership owned, either
directly or through joint venture arrangements, 27 Properties which are, in
general, subject to long-term, triple-net leases. The leases of the Properties
provide for minimum base annual rental amounts (payable in monthly installments)
ranging from approximately $23,000 to $191,900. The majority of the leases
provide for percentage rent based on sales in excess of a specified amount. In
addition, some leases provide for increases in the annual base rent during the
lease term. For a further description of the Partnership's leases and
Properties, see Item 1. Business - Leases and Item 2. Properties, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, the
Partnership and its consolidated joint venture, earned $1,655,696, $1,620,310,
and $1,554,852, respectively, in rental income from operating leases (net of
adjustments to accrued rental income) and earned income from direct financing
leases. The increase in rental and earned income during 2000 and 1999, each as
compared to the previous year, is partially attributable to an increase of
approximately $132,000 and $119,000, respectively, due to the reinvestment of
the net sales proceeds received from Property sales during 1999 and 1998, in
additional Properties as described above in "Capital Resources." The increase in
rental income during 2000 and 1999, each as compared to the previous year, was
partially offset by a decrease of approximately $95,400 and $140,000,
respectively, as a result of Property sales during 2000, 1999, and 1998, as
described above in "Capital Resources."

In addition, the increase in rental and earned income during 1999, as
compared to 1998, was partially the result of the fact that, in 1998, the tenant
of the Property in Canton Township, Michigan, vacated the Property and ceased
operations. As a result, during 1998, the Partnership reversed approximately
$51,300 in accrued rental income (non-cash accounting adjustments relating to
the straight-lining of future scheduled rent increases over the term of the
lease in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), due to
financial difficulties the tenant was experiencing. Although the former tenant
is continuing to pay under the lease obligation, the Partnership is currently
seeking either a replacement tenant or purchaser for this Property.

The increase in rental income during 1999, as compared to 1998, was
also partially attributable to the fact that, during 1998, the Partnership
terminated the lease with the tenant of the Property in Hazard, Kentucky, and
reversed approximately $29,500 of accrued rental income recognized since
inception relating to the straight-lining of future scheduled rent increases in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the
decrease during 1998 was partially attributable to the Partnership reserving
approximately $41,400 in accrued rental income (non-cash accounting adjustment
relating to the straight-lining of future scheduled rent increases over the term
of the lease in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). The
Partnership sold the Property in Hazard, Kentucky, in December 1998, as
described above in "Capital Resources."

During the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, the
Partnership also earned $67,909, $116,872, and $98,915, respectively, in
contingent rental income. The decrease in contingent rental income during 2000,
as compared to 1999, was primarily attributable to the sales of Properties
during 2000 and 1999, for which the leases required the payment of contingent
rental income. The increase in contingent rental income during 1999, as compared
to 1998, was primarily attributable to increased gross sales of certain
restaurant Properties requiring the payment of contingent rental income.

In addition, during 2000, 1999, and 1998, the Partnership earned
$40,193, $103,380, and $127,064, respectively, in interest and other income. The
decrease in interest and other income during 2000, as compared to 1999, was
partially due to a decrease in interest income that the Partnership earned on
sales proceeds pending reinvestment in additional Properties. The decrease in
interest and other income during 1999 as compared to 1998, was partially due to
the fact that in July 1998, the Partnership collected the full balance of a
mortgage note receivable related to the Property in Roswell, Georgia, that the
Partnership had accepted in conjunction with the sale of a Property in 1997.

The Partnership recognized income of $23,956, $170,966 and $22,708 for
the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, attributable to
net income by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Partnership is a
co-venturer. Net income earned by joint venturers was lower in 1998, as compared
to 1999, due to the fact that during 1998, the operator of the Property owned by
Titusville Joint Venture (in which the Partnership owns a 73.4% interest)
vacated the Property and ceased operations. In conjunction therewith, during
1998, Titusville Joint Venture wrote off all uncollected balances and ceased
collection efforts. In addition, during 1998, the joint venture recorded an
allowance for loss on assets of approximately $125,300 for financial reporting
purposes. The allowance represented the difference between the Property's
carrying value at December 31, 1998 and the estimated net realizable value for
the Property. No such allowance was recorded during 1999. During 2000, the
Titusville Joint Venture increased the allowance for loss on assets for its
Properties by approximately $227,100 for financial reporting purposes. The
allowance represented the difference between the Property's carrying value at
December 31, 2000 and the estimated net realizable value for the Property.
Titusville Joint Venture is currently seeking either a replacement tenant or
purchaser for this Property. If Titusville Joint Venture fails to find a
replacement tenant or purchaser, there could be an adverse affect on equity in
earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures. The increase in income earned from
joint ventures during 1999, was primarily attributable to the fact that the
Partnership reinvested a portion of the net sales proceeds it received from
Property sales during 1998 and 1999, in four Properties with affiliates of the
General Partners as tenants-in-common and one Property through a joint venture
arrangement with an affiliate of the General Partners in 1998 and 1999.

During the year ended December 31, 1999, two lessees of the Partnership
and its consolidated joint venture, Golden Corral Corporation and IHOP
Properties, Inc., contributed more than ten percent of the Partnership's total
rental and earned income (including rental income from the Partnership's
consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of the rental and earned
income from Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and Properties
owned with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common). As of
December 31, 2000, Golden Corral Corporation was the lessee under leases
relating to five restaurants, and IHOP Properties, Inc. was the lessee under
leases relating to four restaurants. It is anticipated that, based on the
minimum rental payments required by the leases, these lessees will each continue
to contribute more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental and earned
income during 2001. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2000, three
Restaurant Chains, Golden Corral, IHOP, and KFC, each accounted for more than
ten percent of the Partnership's total rental and earned income (including
rental income from the Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the
Partnership's share of the rental and earned income from Properties owned by
unconsolidated joint ventures and Properties owned with affiliates of the
General Partners as tenants-in-common). It is anticipated that in 2001, each of
these Restaurant Chains will continue to account for more than ten percent of
total rental and earned income to which the Partnership is entitled under the
terms of the leases. Any failure of these lessees or any of these Restaurant
Chains could materially affect the Partnership's income, if the Partnership is
not able to re-lease these Properties in a timely manner.

Operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense,
were $473,803, $557,083, and $520,871 for the years ended December 31, 2000,
1999, and 1998, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses during 2000, as
compared to 1999, and the increase during 1999, as compared to 1998, was
primarily due to the amount of the transaction costs that the Partnership
incurred related to the General Partners retaining financial and legal advisors
to assist them in evaluating and negotiating the proposed Merger with APF, as
described in "Termination of Merger."

The decrease in operating expenses during 2000, as compared to 1999,
was partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense due to the fact that
the Partnership acquired two Properties at the end of the year in 1999. The
decrease in operating expenses during 2000, as compared to 1999 was partially
due to, and the increase in operating expenses during 1999, as compared to 1998,
was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense due to the sale of
several Properties during 2000, 1999, and 1998, as described above in "Capital
Resources."

Operating expenses included amounts that the Partnership had recognized
in real estate tax expenses of approximately $7,500, during 1998, relating to
the Denny's and Po Folks Properties in Hagerstown, Maryland. The Partnership
recorded these amounts as expenses during 1998, due to the fact that payment of
these amounts by the former tenant was doubtful. The Partnership sold the Po
Folks Property in June 1998 and sold the Denny's Property in June 1999.

As a result of the Properties sales during 2000, 1999 and 1998, as
described above in "Capital Resources," the Partnership recognized gains on sale
of land and buildings totalling $16,855, $293,512, and $497,321 during the years
ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. In addition, during the
year ended December 31, 1998, the Partnership recorded an allowance for loss on
assets of $25,821, relating to the Denny's Property in Hagerstown, Maryland. The
allowance represented the difference between the carrying value of the
Properties at December 31, 1998, and the estimated net realizable value of each
Property at December 31, 1998.

The Partnership's leases as of December 31, 2000 are generally
triple-net leases and, in general, contain provisions that the General Partners
believe 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 (for certain Properties) 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.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission released SAB
101, which provides the staff's view in applying generally accepted accounting
principles to selected revenue recognition issues. SAB 101 requires the
Partnership to defer recognition of certain percentage rental income until
certain defined thresholds are met. The Partnership adopted SAB 101 beginning
January 1, 2000. Implementation of SAB 101 did not have a material impact on the
Partnership results of operations.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments, embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives), and for hedging activities. The Statement requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet
and measure those instruments at fair value. In June 1999, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -
Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133." FAS 137 deferred the effective date of FAS 133 for one year.
FAS 133, as amended, is now effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Partnership has reviewed both
statements and has determined that both FAS 133 and FAS 137 do not apply to the
Partnership as of December 31, 2000.

Termination of Merger

On March 11, 1999, the Partnership entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger with APF, pursuant to which the Partnership would be merged with and
into a subsidiary of APF. Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, APF was to
issue shares of its common stock as consideration for the Merger. On March 1,
2000, the General Partners and APF announced that they had mutually agreed to
terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger. The agreement to terminate the
Agreement and Plan of Merger was based, in large part, on the General Partners'
concern that, in light of market conditions relating to publicly traded real
estate investment trusts, the value of the transaction had diminished. As a
result of such diminishment, the General Partners' ability to unequivocally
recommend voting for the transaction, in the exercise of their fiduciary duties,
had become questionable.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998


1. Significant Accounting Policies:

Organization and Nature of Business - CNL Income Fund III, 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 restaurant chains.

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 either the direct financing or the 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) (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.

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 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.







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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998


1. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:

Accrued rental income represents the aggregate amount of
income recognized on a straight-line basis in excess of
scheduled rental payments to date. Whenever a tenant defaults
under the terms of its lease, or events or changes in
circumstance indicate that the tenant will not lease the
property through the end of the lease term, the Partnership
either reserves or reverses the cumulative accrued rental
income balance.

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 their fair value. Although the general partners
have made their best estimate of these factors based on current
conditions, it is reasonably possible that changes could occur in the
near term which could adversely affect the general partners' estimate
of net cash flows expected to be generated from its properties and the
need for asset impairment write-downs.

When the collection of amounts recorded as rental or other income is
considered to be doubtful, an adjustment is made to increase the
allowance for doubtful accounts, which is netted against receivables,
and to decrease rental or other income or increase bad debt expense for
the current period, although the Partnership continues to pursue
collection of such amounts. If amounts are subsequently determined to
be uncollectible, the corresponding receivable and allowance for
doubtful accounts are decreased accordingly.

Investment in Joint Ventures - The Partnership accounts for its 69.07%
interest in Tuscawilla Joint Venture using the consolidation method.
Minority interest represents the minority joint venture partners'
proportionate share of the equity in the Partnership's consolidated
joint venture. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998


1. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:

The Partnership's investments in Titusville Joint Venture, RTO Joint
Venture, and a property in each of Englewood, Colorado, Miami, Florida,
Overland Park, Kansas, and Baytown, Texas held as tenants-in-common
with affiliates of the general partners, are accounted for using the
equity method since the Partnership shares control with affiliates of
the general partners.

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.

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.

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. The more significant areas requiring
the use of management estimates relate to the allowance for doubtful
accounts and future cash flows associated with long-lived assets.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:

Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101") - In December 1999, the
Securities and Exchange Commission released SAB 101, which provides the
staff's view in applying generally accepted accounting principles to
selected revenue recognition issues. SAB 101 requires the Partnership
to defer recognition of certain percentage rental income until certain
defined thresholds are met. The Partnership adopted SAB 101 beginning
January 1, 2000. Implementation of SAB 101 did not have a material
impact on the Partnership results of operations.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("FAS 133") and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137 ("FAS 137") - In
June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments, embedded in other contracts
(collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging activities.
The Statement requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those
instruments at fair value. In June 1999, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -
Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, an Amendment
of FASB Statement No. 133." FAS 137 deferred the effective date of FAS
133 for one year. FAS 133, as amended, is now effective for all fiscal
quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The
Partnership has reviewed both statements and has determined that both
FAS 133 and FAS 137 do not apply to the Partnership as of December 31,
2000.

Reclassification - Certain items in the prior years' financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to 2000 and 1999
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on partners'
capital or net income.

2. Leases:
-------

The Partnership leases its land and buildings primarily to operators of
national and regional fast-food restaurants. The leases are accounted
for under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 13, "Accounting for Leases." The leases generally are classified as
operating leases; however, a few of the leases have been classified as
direct financing leases. For the leases classified as direct financing
leases,

2. Leases- Continued:

the building portions of the property leases are accounted for as
direct financing leases while the land portion of these leases are
operating leases. Substantially all leases are for 15 to 20 years and
provide for minimum and contingent rentals. In addition, the tenant
generally pays all property taxes and assessments, fully maintains the
interior and exterior of the building and carries insurance coverage
for public liability, property damage, fire and extended coverage. The
lease options generally allow tenants to renew the leases for two or
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:

In January 1999, the Partnership reinvested the majority of the net
sales proceeds from the 1998 sale of a Po Folks property in Hagerstown,
Maryland, along with a portion of the amounts collected in 1998 under a
promissory note accepted in connection with the 1997 sale of a property
in Roswell, Georgia, in a Burger King property in Montgomery, Alabama.
The property had an approximate cost of $939,900. In accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for
Leases," the land portion of this property was classified as an
operating lease while the building portion was classified as a direct
financing lease.

3. Land and Buildings on Operating Leases - Continued:
---------------------------------------------------

In April 1999, the Partnership sold its property in Flagstaff, Arizona,
to the tenant for $1,103,127 and received net sales proceeds of
$1,091,192, resulting in a gain of $285,350 for financial reporting
purposes. This property was originally acquired by the Partnership in
October 1988 and had a cost of approximately $993,500, excluding
acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition expenses; therefore, the
Partnership sold the property for approximately $97,700 in excess of
its original purchase price. In October 1999, the Partnership
reinvested a portion of the net sales proceeds it received from the
sale of this property, in an IHOP property located in Auburn, Alabama,
at an approximate cost of $1,440,200.

In June 1999, the Partnership sold its Denny's property in Hagerstown,
Maryland, to the tenant for $710,000 and received net sales proceeds of
$700,977. Due to the fact that during 1998, the Partnership recorded an
allowance for doubtful accounts of $25,821 in accrued rental income,
representing income the Partnership had recognized since the inception
of the lease relating to the straight-lining of future scheduled rent
increases in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
the Partnership recognized a gain of $8,162 for financial reporting
purposes (see Note 4). In October 1999, the Partnership invested
approximately $259,100 of the net sales proceeds it received from the
sale in a property in Baytown, Texas, with an affiliate of the general
partners as tenants-in-common for a 20 percent interest in the
property. In addition, in October 1999, the Partnership reinvested the
remaining net sales proceeds it received from the sale of the property
in Hagerstown, Maryland, in an IHOP Property in Auburn, Alabama, as
described above.

In September 2000, the Partnership sold its property in Plant City,
Florida, for a total of $509,865 and received net sales proceeds of
$492,069, resulting in a total gain of $16,855 for financial reporting
purposes. In connection with the sale, the Partnership incurred a
deferred, subordinated, real estate disposition fee of $15,296. The
Partnership distributed these net sales proceeds as a special
distribution to the limited partners.

Some leases provide for escalating guaranteed minimum rents throughout
the lease terms. Income from these scheduled rent increases is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The
Partnership recognized income of $63,505 and $45,253 in 2000 and 1999,
respectively, and a loss of $88,824 (net of $25,996 in reserves and
$103,830 in reversals) during 1998 of such rental income.

From inception through December 31, 1999, generally, all net income and

31, 1999, distributions of net cash flow were made 99 percent to the

however, that the one percent of net cash flow to be distributed to the
general partners was subordinated to receipt by the limited partners of
an aggregate, ten percent, noncumulative,

6. Allocations and Distributions - Continued:

noncompounded annual return on their adjusted capital contributions
(the "10% Preferred Return").

From inception through December 31, 1999, generally, net sales proceeds
from the sale of properties not in liquidation of the Partnership, to
the extent distributed, were distributed first to the limited partners
in an amount sufficient to provide them with their cumulative 10%
Preferred Return, plus the return of their adjusted capital
contributions. The general partners then received, to the extent
previously subordinated and unpaid, a one percent interest in all prior
distributions of net cash flow and a return of their capital
contributions. Any remaining sales proceeds were distributed 95 percent
to the limited partners and five percent to the general partners. Any
gain from the sale of a property not in liquidation of the Partnership
was, in general, allocated in the same manner as net sales proceeds are
distributable. Any loss from the sale of a property was, in general,
allocated first, on a pro rata basis, to partners with positive
balances in their capital accounts; and thereafter, 95 percent to the
limited partners and five percent to the general partners.

Generally, net sales proceeds from a liquidating sale of properties,
will be used in the following order: (i) first to pay and discharge all
of the Partnership's liabilities to creditors, (ii) second, to
establish reserves that may be deemed necessary for any anticipated or
unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership, (iii) third,
to pay all of the Partnership's liabilities, if any, to the general and
limited partners, (iv) fourth, after allocations of net income, gains
and/or losses, to distribute to the partners with positive capital
accounts balances, in proportion to such balances, up to amounts
sufficient to reduce such positive balances to zero, and (v)
thereafter, any funds remaining shall then be distributed 95 percent to
the limited partners and five percent to the general partners.

Effective January 1, 2000, the general partners waived their right to
receive future distributions from the Partnership, including both
distributions of operating cash flow and distributions of liquidation
proceeds, to the extent that the cumulative amount of such
distributions would exceed the balance in the general partners' capital
account as of December 31, 1999. Accordingly, for years commencing
January 1, 2000 and after, the Partnership's net income will be
allocated entirely among the limited partners. However, if losses are
allocated to the general partners in a year, an amount of income equal
to the sum of such losses may be allocated to the general partner in
succeeding years. Accordingly, the general partners were not allocated
any net income and did not receive any distributions during the year
ended December 31, 2000.

the year ended December 31, 2000 and 1998, included $600,000 and

distribution of net sales proceeds from the 2000 sale of the property
in Plant City, Florida and the 1998 sales of the properties in
Fernandina Beach and Daytona Beach, Florida. These amounts were applied

distributions have been made to the general partners to date.

8. Related Party Transactions:

One of the individual general partners, James M. Seneff, Jr., is one of
the principal shareholders of CNL Holdings, Inc. The other individual
general partner, Robert A. Bourne, serves as President and Treasurer of
CNL Financial Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CNL Holdings,
Inc. CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") was a majority owned
subsidiary of CNL Financial Group, Inc. until it merged with CNL
American Properties Fund, Inc. ("APF"), effective September 1, 1999.
The individual general partners are stockholders and directors of APF.

The Advisor provides certain services relating to management of the
Partnership and its properties pursuant to a management agreement with
the Partnership. In connection therewith, the Partnership has agreed to
pay the Advisor an annual, noncumulative, subordinated management fee
of one-half of one percent of the Partnership assets under management
(valued at cost) annually. The property management fee is limited to
one percent of the sum of gross operating revenues from joint ventures
or competitive fees for comparable services. In addition, these fees
are incurred and payable only after the limited partners receive their
aggregate, noncumulative 10% Preferred Return. Due to the fact that
these fees are noncumulative, if the limited partners do not receive
their 10% Preferred Return in any particular year, no property
management fees will be due or payable for such year. As a result of
such threshold, no property management fees were incurred during the
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

The Advisor is also entitled to receive a deferred, subordinated real
estate disposition fee, payable upon the sale of one or more
properties, based on the lesser of one-half of a competitive real
estate commission or three percent of the sales price if the Advisor
provides a substantial amount of services in connection with the sales.
However, if the net sales proceeds are reinvested in a replacement
property, no such real estate disposition fees will be incurred until
such replacement property is sold and the net sales proceeds are
distributed. The payment of the real estate disposition fee is
subordinated to the receipt by the limited partners of their aggregate,
cumulative 10% Preferred Return, plus their adjusted capital
contributions. During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1998, the
Partnership incurred $15,296 and $53,400, respectively, in deferred,
subordinated real estate disposition fees as a result of the
Partnership's sale of the properties in Plant City, Florida, and the
properties in Daytona Beach and Fernandina Beach, Florida,
respectively. No deferred, subordinated real estate disposition fees
were incurred for the year ended December 31, 1999.

restaurant chains could significantly impact the results of operations
of the Partnership if the Partnership is not able to re-lease the
properties in a timely manner.

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

(c) As of December 31, 2000, the aggregate cost of the Properties owned by
the Partnership, its consolidated joint venture and the unconsolidated
joint venture for federal income tax purposes was $14,094,079 and
$9,419,158, respectively. All of the leases are treated as operating
leases for federal income tax purposes.

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

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

(f) The tenant of this Property, Golden Corral Corporation, has subleased
this Property to a local independent restaurant. Golden Corral
Corporation continues to be responsible for complying with all the
terms of the lease agreement and is continuing to pay rent on this
Property to the Partnership.

(g) For financial reporting purposes, the undepreciated cost of the
Property in Titusville, Florida, was written down to net realizable
value due to an impairment in value. The Partnership recognized the
impairment by recording an allowance for loss on land and building in
the amount of approximately $272,300 as of December 31, 1998. During
2000, the Partnership recorded an additional impairment of $227,094.
The cumulative allowance at December 31, 2000, represents the
difference between the Property's carrying value and the current
estimate of the net realizable value of the Property. The cost of the
Property presented on this schedule is the gross amount at which the
Property was carried at December 31, 2000, excluding the allowance for
loss on land and building.
