PART I


Item 1. Business

CNL Income Fund VIII, Ltd. (the "Registrant" or the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership which was organized pursuant to the laws of the State of
Florida on August 18, 1989. 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 2, 1990, the
Partnership offered for sale up to $35,000,000 of limited partnership interests
(the "Units") (35,000,000 Units at $1 per Unit) pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, effective
January 30, 1990. The offering terminated on March 7, 1991, at which date the
maximum offering proceeds of $35,000,000 had been received from investors who
were admitted to the Partnership as limited partners (the "Limited Partners").

The Partnership was organized to acquire both newly constructed and
existing restaurant properties, as well as properties upon which restaurants
were to be constructed (the "Properties"), which are leased primarily to
operators of national and regional fast-food and family-style restaurant chains
(the "Restaurant Chains"). Net proceeds to the Partnership from its offering of
Units, after deduction of organizational and offering expenses, totaled
$30,975,000 and were used to acquire 38 Properties, including interests in eight
Properties owned by joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer,
and to establish a working capital reserve for Partnership purposes.

As of December 31, 2000, the Partnership owned 36 Properties, either
directly or indirectly through joint venture or tenancy in common arrangements.
During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership sold its Property in
Statesville, North Carolina, and reinvested the majority of the net sales
proceeds in a Jack in the Box Property located in Walker, Louisiana, and a
Bennigan's Property located in Denver, Colorado, each held with affiliates of
the General Partners, which are Florida limited partnerships, as separate
tenants-in-common arrangements. In addition, during 2001, Middleburg Joint
Venture, in which the Partnership owns a 12.46% interest, sold its Property to
the tenant, and the Partnership received a return of capital from the net sales
proceeds. In April 2001, the Partnership reinvested the majority of the net
sales proceeds received from Middleburg Joint Venture and entered into a joint
venture arrangement, CNL VIII, X, XII Kokomo Joint Venture, with affiliates of
the General Partners, which are Florida limited partnerships, to purchase and
hold one Property in Kokomo, Indiana. In January 2002, the Partnership
reinvested a portion of the net sales proceeds it received from the sale of the
Property in Statesville, North Carolina, and the 2001 prepaid principal relating
to a promissory note, in a Denny's Property located in Ontario, Oregon. During
the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership sold its Property in Baseball
City, Florida and reinvested the majority of the net sales proceeds in a Taco
Cabana Property located in Denton, Texas. In 2002, CNL Restaurant Investments
II, in which the Partnership owns a 36.8% interest, sold its Property in
Columbus, Ohio and used the majority of the proceeds from the sale to acquire a
Taco Cabana property in Dallas, Texas. In addition in 2002, CNL Restaurant
Investments II sold its property in Pontiac, Michigan and the Partnership
reinvested the return of capital for its pro-rata share of the uninvested net
sales proceeds relating to the Property in Pontiac, Michigan in a Texas
Roadhouse Property in Kenosha, Wisconsin, as tenants-in-common, with an
affiliate of the General Partners and a Florida limited partnership. In addition
in 2002, the Partnership reinvested the 2002 prepaid principal relating to a
promissory note in a Boston Market Property located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
Finally in 2002, the Partnership, as tenants-in-common, with an affiliate of the
General Partners and a Florida limited partnership, in which the Partnership
owns a 66% interest, sold its Property in Libertyville, Illinois, and reinvested
the liquidating distribution from the sale to acquire an IHOP property in
Buffalo Grove, Illinois, in a new tenancy in common, with an affiliate of the
General Partners and a Florida limited partnership.

As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership owned 39 Properties. The 39
Properties included interests in nine Properties owned by joint ventures, in
which the Partnership is a co-venturer, and four Properties owned with
affiliates as tenants-in-common. The Properties are generally leased on a
triple-net basis with the lessees responsible for all repairs and maintenance,
property taxes, insurance and utilities.

The Partnership holds 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 consider factors such as potential capital
appreciation, net cash flow and federal income taxes. Certain lessees also have
been granted options to purchase Properties, generally at the Property's then
fair market value after a specified portion of the lease term has elapsed. The
Partnership has no obligation to sell all or any portion of a Property at any
particular time, except as may be required under property purchase options
granted to certain lessees.

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 and the Properties
owned as tenants-in-common with affiliates of the General Partners provide for
initial terms, ranging from 9 to 25 years (the average being 18 years), and
expire between 2005 and 2020. The leases are generally on a triple-net basis,
with the lessees responsible for all repairs and maintenance, property taxes,
insurance and utilities. The leases of the Properties provide for minimum base
annual rental payments (payable in monthly installments) ranging from
approximately $49,200 to $251,500. The majority of the leases provide for
percentage rent, based on sales in excess of a specified amount. In addition, a
majority of the leases provide that, commencing in specified lease years
(ranging from the third to the sixth lease year), the annual base rent required
under the terms of the lease will increase.

Generally, the leases of the Properties provide for two to four
five-year renewal options subject to the same terms and conditions as the
initial lease. Lessees of 31 of the Partnership's 39 Properties also have been
granted options to purchase Properties at the Property's then fair market value
after a specified portion of the lease term has elapsed. Fair market value will
be determined through an appraisal by an independent appraisal firm. Under the
terms of certain leases, the option purchase price may equal the Partnership's
original cost to purchase the Property (including acquisition costs), plus a
specified percentage from the date of the lease or a specified percentage of the
Partnership's purchase price, if that amount is greater than the Property's fair
market value at the time the purchase option is exercised.

The leases generally provide that, in the event the Partnership wishes
to sell the Property subject to that lease, the Partnership first must 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.

In February 2002, a tenant, Brandon Fast Food Services, Inc., filed for
bankruptcy. The tenant has neither rejected nor affirmed the one lease it has
with the Partnership. A workout plan has not been approved. As of March 12,
2004, the Partnership has continued receiving rental payments relating to this
lease. While the tenant has neither rejected nor affirmed this lease, there can
be no assurance that the lease will not be rejected in the future. The lost
revenues resulting from the possible rejection of this lease would have an
adverse effect on the results of operations of the Partnership if the
Partnership is unable to re-lease the Property in a timely manner.

In March 2004, the Partnership entered into an agreement to provide
temporary and partial rent relief to a tenant who is experiencing liquidity
difficulties. The Partnership anticipates lowering rent over the next twelve
months on the one lease the tenant has with the Partnership will provide the
necessary relief to the tenant. Rental payment terms go back to the original
terms starting with the thirteenth month. The deferred rent is due in equal
monthly payments beginning January 2005 and continuing for 60 months thereafter.
The General Partners do not believe that this temporary decline in cash flows
will have a material adverse effect on the operating results of the Partnership.

Major Tenants

During 2003, two lessees (or groups of affiliated lessees) of the
Partnership and its consolidated joint venture, Golden Corral Corporation and
the affiliated entities under common control, Carrols Corporation and Texas Taco
Cabana (hereinafter referred to as "Carrols Corporation"), each contributed more
than ten percent of total rental revenues (including total rental revenues from
the Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of
rental revenues from Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and
Properties owned with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common).
As of December 31, 2003, Golden Corral Corporation was the lessee under leases
relating to five restaurants, and Carrols Corporation was the lessee under
leases relating to seven restaurants. It is anticipated that, based on the
minimum rental payments required by the leases, these two lessees (or groups of
affiliated lessees) each will continue to contribute more than ten percent of
the Partnership's total rental revenues in 2004. In addition, two Restaurant
Chains, Golden Corral Buffet and Grill ("Golden Corral") and Burger King, each
accounted for more than ten percent of total rental revenues in 2003 (including
rental revenues from the Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the
Partnership's share of rental revenues from Properties owned by unconsolidated
joint ventures and Properties owned with affiliates of the General Partners as
tenants-in-common). In 2004, it is anticipated that these two Restaurant Chains
each will continue to account for more than ten percent of total rental revenues
to which the Partnership is entitled under the terms of the leases. Any failure
of these lessees or Restaurant Chains will materially affect the Partnership's
results of operations if the Partnership is not able to re-lease the Properties
in a timely manner. No single tenant or group of affiliated tenants lease
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 the following joint venture and
tenancy in common arrangements as of December 31, 2003:

and CNL Income Fund IX,

CNL Restaurant Investments II was formed to hold six Properties;
however, it currently holds only five. All other joint ventures or tenancies in
common were formed to hold one Property. Each CNL Income Fund is an affiliate of
the General Partners and is a limited partnership organized pursuant to the laws
of the state of Florida. The Partnership has management control of Woodway Joint
Venture but management control is shared equally with the affiliates of the
General Partners for the other joint ventures.

The joint venture and tenancy in common arrangements provide for the
Partnership and its joint venture or tenancy in common partners to share in all
costs and benefits in proportion to each partner's percentage interest in the
Property or entity. The Partnership and its partners are also jointly and
severally liable for all debts, obligations and other liabilities of the joint
venture or tenancy in common. Net cash flow from operations is distributed to
each joint venture or tenancy in common partner in accordance with its
respective percentage interest in the Property or entity.

Woodway Joint Venture, Asheville Joint Venture and Bossier City Joint
Venture each have an initial term of 20 years, and CNL VIII, X, XII Kokomo Joint
Venture has an initial term of 30 years and, after the expiration of the initial
term, continues in existence from year to year unless terminated at the option
of either joint venturer 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 partners to dissolve 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. CNL Restaurant
Investments II's joint venture agreement does not provide for a fixed term, but
continues in existence until terminated by any of the joint venturers.

The joint venture and tenancy in common agreements restrict each
party's ability to sell, transfer or assign its interest without first offering
it for sale to its partners, either upon such terms and conditions as to which
the parties may agree or, in the event the parties cannot agree, on the same
terms and conditions as any offer from a third party to purchase such joint
venture or tenancy in common interest.

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.

Certain Management Services

RAI Restaurants, Inc. (the "Advisor"), an affiliate of the General
Partners, provides certain services relating to management of the Partnership
and its Properties pursuant to a management agreement with the Partnership.
Under this agreement, the Advisor 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. The Advisor also assists the General Partners in negotiating the
leases. For these services, the Partnership has agreed to pay the Advisor an
annual fee of one percent of the sum of gross operating revenues from Properties
wholly owned by the Partnership plus the Partnership's allocable share of gross
revenues of joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer, but not in
excess of competitive fees for comparable services. Under the property
management agreement, the property management fee is subordinated to receipt by
the Limited Partners of an aggregate, ten percent, cumulative, 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 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.

During 2003, CNL Capital Management, Inc., ("CCM"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of CNL Financial Group, Inc., began providing certain strategic
advisory services to the General Partners relative to the Partnership's
business. CCM is not reimbursed for these services by the Partnership. CCM also
began providing some accounting and portfolio management services to the
Partnership during 2003, through a subcontract with the Advisor.





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, the officers and employees of CNL Restaurant Properties, Inc.
(formerly CNL American Properties Fund, Inc.), the parent company of the
Advisor, and the officers and employees of CCM 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, 2003, the Partnership owned 39 Properties. Of the 39
Properties, 26 are owned by the Partnership in fee simple, nine 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.

Description of Properties

Land. The Partnership's Property sites, owned directly and indirectly,
range from approximately 17,400 to 128,500 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.

Buildings. Each of the Properties owned by the Partnership, directly
and indirectly, 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 2,100 to 10,600 square feet. All buildings on
Properties 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, 2003, the
Partnership had no plans for renovation of the Properties. Depreciation expense
is computed for buildings and improvements using the straight line method using
a depreciable life of 40 years for federal income tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2003, the aggregate cost of the Properties owned by
the Partnership (including its consolidated joint venture) and the
unconsolidated joint ventures (including the Properties owned through tenancy in
common arrangements), for federal income tax purposes was $25,620,634 and
$15,995,853, 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 substantially all the Properties to
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.

The following is a schedule of the average rent and occupancy rate per

Not applicable.


PART II


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

(a) As of March 12, 2004, there were 3,377 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 2003, 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 have the right to prohibit transfers of Units. From
inception through December 31, 2003, the price paid for any Unit transferred
pursuant to the Plan was $.95 per Unit. The price paid for any Unit 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 2003 and 2002 other than
pursuant to the Plan, net of commissions.

(1) A total of 264,614 and 371,760 Units were transferred other than
pursuant to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

The capital contribution per Unit was $1. 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, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership
declared cash distributions of $3,150,004 and $3,325,004, respectively, to the
Limited Partners. During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership
declared a special distribution to the Limited Partners of $175,000 which
represented cumulative excess operating reserves. This special distribution was
effectively a return of a portion of the Limited Partners' investment, although
in accordance with the partnership agreement, $175,000, was applied toward the
Limited Partners' 10% Preferred Return. No amounts distributed to partners for
the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 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.

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

The Partnership was organized on August 18, 1989, to acquire for cash,
either directly or through joint venture arrangements, both newly constructed
and existing restaurant Properties, as well as land upon which restaurant
Properties were to be constructed, which are leased primarily to operators of
Restaurant Chains. The leases are generally triple-net leases, with the lessee
generally responsible for all repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance
and utilities. The leases provide for minimum base annual rental amounts
(payable in monthly installments) ranging from approximately $49,200 to
$251,500. The majority of the leases provide for percentage rent, based on sales
in excess of a specified amount. In addition, some of the leases provide that,
commencing in specified lease years (generally the sixth lease year), the annual
base rent required under the terms of the lease will increase.

The Partnership owned 26 Properties directly as of December 31, 2003
and 2002 and 13 Properties indirectly through joint venture or tenancy in common
arrangements as of December 31, 2003 and 2002. The Partnership owned 24
Properties directly and 13 Properties indirectly through joint venture or
tenancy in common arrangements as of December 31, 2001.

Capital Resources

For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, cash from
operating activities was $3,472,940, $3,350,597, and $3,196,595, respectively.
The increase in cash from operating activities during the year ended December
31, 2003, as compared to the previous year, was a result of changes in the
Partnership's working capital, such as the timing of transactions relating to
the collection of receivables and the payment of expenses, and changes in income
and expenses, such as changes in rental revenues and changes in operating and
Property related expenses. The increase in cash from operating activities in
2002, as compared to the previous year, was a result of changes in the
Partnership's working capital, such as the timing of transactions relating to
the collection of receivables and the payment of expenses, and changes in income
and expenses, such as changes in rental revenues and changes in operating and
Property related expenses.

Other sources and uses of cash included the following during the years
ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001.

In March 2001, Middleburg Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owned
a 12.46% interest, sold its Property to the tenant in accordance with the option
under its lease agreement to purchase the Property, for $1,900,000, and recorded
a loss of approximately $61,900. Middleburg Joint Venture was dissolved in
accordance with the joint venture agreement and no gain or loss on the
dissolution of the joint venture was recorded. As a result, the Partnership
received approximately $236,700 as a return of capital for its pro-rata share of
the net sales proceeds. In April 2001, the Partnership reinvested $211,200 in
another joint venture arrangement, CNL VIII, X, XII Kokomo Joint Venture, with
CNL Income Fund X, Ltd. and CNL Income Fund XII, Ltd., Florida limited
partnerships and affiliates of the General Partners. The joint venture acquired
a Property from CNL BB Corp., an affiliate of the General Partners, who had
purchased and temporarily held title to this Property in order to facilitate the
acquisition of the Property by the joint venture.

In May 2001, the Partnership sold its Property in Statesville, North
Carolina, and received net sales proceeds of $877,000, resulting in a gain of
approximately $28,300. In June and July 2001, the Partnership reinvested
$232,300 and $422,500 of these sales proceeds in two additional Properties,
Walker, Louisiana and Denver, Colorado, as two separate tenancy in common
arrangements with Florida limited partnerships and affiliates of the General
Partners.

In September 2001, the borrower of two promissory notes accepted in
1999 in connection with the sale of two of the Partnership's Properties, prepaid
the total outstanding principal balance of approximately $441,500.

In January 2002, the Partnership reinvested the other portion of the
net sales proceeds it received from the sale of the Property in Statesville,
North Carolina, and the prepaid principal received in 2001, in a Denny's
Property located in Ontario, Oregon, at an approximate cost of $654,400.

In February 2002, a tenant, Brandon Fast Food Services, Inc., filed for
bankruptcy. The tenant has neither rejected nor affirmed the one lease it has
with the Partnership. A workout plan has not been approved. As of March 12,
2004, the Partnership has continued receiving rental payments relating to this
lease. While the tenant has neither rejected nor affirmed this lease, there can
be no assurance that the lease will not be rejected in the future. The lost
revenues resulting from the possible rejection of this lease would have an
adverse effect on the results of operations of the Partnership if the
Partnership is unable to re-lease the Property in a timely manner.

In May 2002, the borrower relating to a promissory note accepted in
1996 in connection with the sale of one of the Partnership's Properties repaid
the outstanding principal of approximately $917,900. In September 2002, the
Partnership reinvested the prepaid principal in a Property located in Eden
Prairie, Minnesota, at an approximate cost of $1,093,900. The Property was
acquired from CNL Net Lease Investors, L.P. ("NLI"). During 2002, and prior to
the Partnership's acquisition of this property, CNL Financial LP Holding, LP
("CFN") and CNL Net Lease Investors GP Corp. ("GP Corp") purchased the limited
partner's interest and general partner's interest, respectively, of NLI. Prior
to this transaction, an affiliate of the Partnership's General Partners owned a
0.1% interest in NLI and served as a general partner of NLI. The original
general partners of NLI waived their rights to benefit from this transaction.
The acquisition price paid by CFN for the limited partner's interest was based
on the portfolio acquisition price. The Partnership acquired the property at
CFN's cost and did not pay any additional compensation to CFN for the
acquisition of the property. Each CNL entity is an affiliate of the
Partnership's General Partners.

In May 2002, the Partnership also sold its property in Baseball City,
Florida to the tenant and received net sales proceeds of approximately
$1,184,600 resulting in a gain on disposal of discontinued operations of
approximately $279,800. In June 2002, the Partnership reinvested the majority of
the net sales proceeds it received from the sale of this Property in a Taco
Cabana Property located in Denton, Texas, at an approximate cost of $1,147,600.
In June 2002, CNL Restaurant Investments II, in which the Partnership owns a
36.8% interest, sold its Property in Columbus, Ohio to the tenant and received
net sales proceeds of approximately $1,215,700, resulting in a gain of
approximately $448,300. The joint venture used the proceeds from the sale of the
property in Columbus, Ohio to acquire a property in Dallas, Texas at an
approximate cost of $1,147,400. The Partnership acquired the Property in Denton,
Texas and the joint venture acquired the property in Dallas, Texas from CNL
Funding 2001-A, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and an affiliate of the
General Partners. CNL Funding 2001-A, LP had purchased and temporarily held
title to the Properties in order to facilitate the acquisition of the Properties
by the Partnership and the joint venture. The purchase price paid by the
Partnership and the joint venture represented the costs incurred by CNL Funding
2001-A, LP to acquire the Properties.

In addition in June 2002, CNL Restaurant Investments II also sold its
property in Pontiac, Michigan to the tenant and received net sales proceeds of
approximately $722,600 resulting in a loss of $189,800. The tenant exercised its
option to purchase the Property under the terms of the lease. The Partnership
received approximately $265,900 representing a return of capital for its
pro-rata share of the uninvested net sales proceeds relating to the Property in
Pontiac, Michigan. In August 2002, the Partnership reinvested $188,300 of the
return of capital to acquire a Property in Kenosha, Wisconsin, as
tenants-in-common, with CNL Income Fund XVII, Ltd., a Florida limited
partnership and an affiliate of the General Partners. The Partnership and the
affiliate of the General Partners entered into an agreement whereby each
co-tenant will share in the profits and losses of each property in proportion to
its applicable percentage interest.

In September 2002, the Partnership, as tenants-in-common with CNL
Income Fund IX, Ltd., an affiliate of the General Partners, sold its Property in
Libertyville, Illinois, to a third party and received net sales proceeds of
approximately $1,630,400 resulting in a gain of approximately $199,300. The
Partnership owned a 66% interest in this Property. The Partnership and the
affiliate of the General Partners, under a new tenancy in common arrangement,
used the liquidating distribution from the sale of the Property to acquire a
property in Buffalo Grove, Illinois at an approximate cost of $1,588,800. The
Property was acquired from NLI during 2002, and prior to the Partnership's
acquisition of this property, CFN and GP Corp purchased the limited partner's
interest and general partner's interest, respectively, of NLI. Prior to this
transaction, an affiliate of the Partnership's General Partners owned a 0.1%
interest in NLI and served as a general partner of NLI. The original general
partners of NLI waived their rights to benefit from this transaction. The
acquisition price paid by CFN for the limited partner's interest was based on
the portfolio acquisition price. The Partnership acquired the Property at CFN's
cost and did not pay any additional compensation to CFN for the acquisition of
the Property. Each CNL entity is an affiliate of the Partnership's General
Partners.

In March 2004, the Partnership entered into an agreement to provide
temporary and partial rent relief to a tenant who is experiencing liquidity
difficulties. The Partnership anticipates lowering rent over the next twelve
months on the one lease the tenant has with the Partnership will provide the
necessary relief to the tenant. Rental payment terms go back to the original
terms starting with the thirteenth month. The deferred rent is due in equal
monthly payments beginning January 2005 and continuing for 60 months thereafter.
The General Partners do not believe that this temporary decline in cash flows
will have a material adverse effect on the operating results of the Partnership.

None of the Properties owned by the Partnership, or the joint venture
or tenancy in common arrangements in which the Partnership owns an interest, is
or may be encumbered. Subject to certain restrictions on borrowing, however, the
Partnership may borrow funds but will not encumber any of the Properties in
connection with any such borrowing. The Partnership will not borrow for the
purpose of returning capital to the Limited Partners. The Partnership will not
borrow under arrangements that would make the Limited Partners liable to
creditors of the Partnership. The General Partners further have represented that
they will use their reasonable efforts to structure any borrowing so that it
will not constitute "acquisition indebtedness" for federal income tax purposes
and also will limit the Partnership's outstanding indebtedness to three percent
of the aggregate adjusted tax basis of its Properties. In addition, the
Partnership will not borrow unless it first obtains an opinion of counsel that
such borrowing will not constitute acquisition indebtedness. 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.

At December 31, 2003, the Partnership had $1,701,023 in cash and cash
equivalents, as compared to $1,571,487 at December 31, 2002. At December 31,
2003, these funds were held in demand deposit accounts at commercial banks,
money market accounts and certificates of deposit with less than a 90-day
maturity date. As of December 31, 2003, the average interest rate earned on the
rental income deposited was less than one percent annually. The funds remaining
at December 31, 2003, after the payment of distributions and other liabilities
will be used to fund additional construction costs and to meet the Partnership's
working capital needs.

Short-Term Liquidity

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 net cash
flow in excess of operating expenses.

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

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.

Due to low operating expenses and ongoing cash flow, the General
Partners believe that the Partnership has sufficient working capital reserves at
this time. In addition, because all leases of 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 Partnership generally distributes cash from operations remaining
after the payment of the operating expenses of the Partnership, to the extent
that the General Partners determine that such funds are available for
distribution. Based on cash from operations, the Partnership declared
distributions to the Limited Partners of $3,150,004, $3,325,004 and $3,150,004
for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. This
represents distributions of $0.09, $0.10, and $0.09 per Unit for the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. During the quarter ended
December 31, 2002, the Partnership declared a special distribution to the
Limited Partners of $175,000, which represented cumulative excess operating
reserves. This special distribution was effectively a return of a portion of the
Limited Partners' investment, although in accordance with the partnership
agreement, the total amount was applied toward the Limited Partners' 10%
Preferred Return. No amounts distributed to the Limited Partners for the years
ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 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 years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership owed $12,655 and
$14,333, respectively, to affiliates for such amounts as operating expenses and
accounting and administrative services. As of March 12, 2004, the Partnership
had reimbursed the affiliates all such amounts. In addition, as of December 31,
2003, the Partnership had incurred $55,050 in real estate disposition fees due
to an affiliate as a result of services in connection with the sale of several
Properties. The payment of such fees is deferred until the Limited Partners have
received the sum of their 10% Preferred Return and their adjusted capital
contributions. Other liabilities, including distributions payable, decreased to
$960,307 at December 31, 2003, from $1,056,503 at December 31, 2002. The
decrease was primarily a result of the payment of a special distribution to the
limited partners during the year ended December 31, 2003, which was accrued at
December 31, 2002. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in rents
paid in advance and deposits at December 31, 2003. The special distribution of
$175,000 represented accumulated, excess operating reserves. The General
Partners believe that the Partnership has sufficient cash on hand to meet its
current working capital needs.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

The Partnership holds interests in various unconsolidated joint venture
and tenancy in common arrangements that are accounted for using the equity
method. The General Partners do not believe that any such interest would
constitute an off-balance sheet arrangement requiring any additional disclosures
under the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities, and Commitments

The Partnership has no contractual obligations, contingent liabilities,
or commitments as of December 31, 2003.

Long-Term Liquidity

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

Critical Accounting Policies

The Partnership's leases are accounted for under the provisions of
Statement of Accounting Standard No. 13, "Accounting for Leases" ("FAS 13"), and
have been accounted for using either the direct financing or the operating
method. FAS 13 requires management to estimate the economic life of the leased
property, the residual value of the leased property and the present value of
minimum lease payments to be received from the tenant. In addition, management
assumes that all payments to be received under its leases are collectible.
Changes in management's estimates or assumptions regarding collectibility of
lease payments could result in a change in accounting for the lease.

The Partnership accounts for its unconsolidated joint ventures using
the equity method of accounting. Under generally accepted accounting principles,
the equity method of accounting is appropriate for entities that are partially
owned by the Partnership, but for which operations of the investee are shared
with other partners. The Partnership's joint venture agreements require the
consent of all partners on all key decisions affecting the operations of the
underlying Property.

Management reviews the Partnership's Properties and investments in
unconsolidated entities periodically for impairment at least once a year or
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying of an
asset may not be recoverable. The assessment is based on the carrying amount of
the Property or investment at the date it is tested for recoverability compared
to the sum of the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its
operation and sale through the expected holding period. If an impairment is
indicated, the asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Partnership adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS 144"). Accordingly, when the Partnership
makes the decision to sell or commits to a plan to sell a Property, within one
year, its operating results are reported as discontinued operations.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2003 to the year ended December 31,
2002

Rental revenues from continuing operations were $2,862,634 for the year
ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $2,719,772 in the same period in 2002.
The increase in rental revenues during 2003, as compared to the same period in
2002, was the result of the 2002 acquisition of three Properties located in
Ontario, Oregon, Denton, Texas, and Eden Prairie, Minnesota using proceeds from
the 2001 and 2002 sales of Properties in Statesville, North Carolina and
Baseball City, Florida, respectively, and the proceeds received from the
collection of promissory notes during 2001 and 2002 in connection with
Properties sold in previous years.

In February 2002, Brandon Fast Food Services, Inc., the tenant of the
Property in Brandon, Florida, filed for bankruptcy. As of March 12, 2004, the
Partnership has continued to receive rental payments relating to this lease.
While the tenant has neither rejected nor affirmed the lease, there can be no
assurance that the lease will not be rejected in the future. The lost revenues
that would result if the tenant rejects this lease will have an adverse effect
on the results of operations of the Partnership if the Partnership is unable to
re-lease the Property in a timely manner.

During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership also
earned $71,888 and $88,664, respectively, in contingent rental income.

During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership
earned $441,781 and $649,791, respectively, attributable to the net income
earned by unconsolidated joint ventures. Net income earned by unconsolidated
joint ventures was higher during the year ended December 31, 2002, because CNL
Restaurant Investments II, in which the Partnership owns a 36.8% interest, sold
its Property in Columbus, Ohio, in June 2002, to the tenant resulting in a gain
of approximately $448,300. CNL Restaurant Investments II also sold, in June
2002, its Property in Pontiac, Michigan to the tenant resulting in a loss of
approximately $189,800. The Partnership recognized its pro-rata share of the net
gain resulting from these sales.

Net income earned by unconsolidated joint ventures was also higher
during the year ended December 31, 2002, because the Partnership, as
tenants-in-common with CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd., an affiliate of the general
partners and a Florida limited partnership, sold its Property in Libertyville,
Illinois, in September 2002, to a third party resulting in a gain of
approximately $199,300. The Partnership owned a 66% interest in this Property.
The Partnership recognized its pro-rata share of the gain from this sale, as
described below.

The decrease in net income earned by unconsolidated joint ventures
during the year ended December 31, 2003 was partially offset because, in 2002,
the Partnership invested in two Properties, one in Kenosha, Wisconsin and the
other in Buffalo Grove, Illinois; each as a separate tenancy in common
arrangement with an affiliate of the General Partners and a Florida limited
partnership. The Partnership acquired these Properties using a portion of the
return of capital received from CNL Restaurant Investments II from its sale of
the Property in Pontiac, Michigan, and a portion of the net proceeds received
from the sale of the Partnership's Property in Libertyville, Illinois, which the
Partnership held as a tenancy in common.

During 2003, two lessees (or groups of affiliated lessees) of the
Partnership and its consolidated joint venture, Golden Corral Corporation, and
the affiliated entities under common control, Carrols Corporation and Texas Taco
Cabana (hereinafter referred to as "Carrols Corporation"), each contributed more
than ten of percent of total rental revenues (including rental revenues from the
Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of total
rental revenues from Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and
Properties owned with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common).
As of December 31, 2003, Golden Corral Corporation was the lessee under leases
relating to five restaurants, and Carrols Corporation was the lessee under
leases relating to seven restaurants. It is anticipated that, based on the
minimum rental payments required by the leases, these two lessees (or groups of
affiliated lessees) each will continue to contribute more than ten percent of
total rental revenues in 2004. In addition, two Restaurant Chains, Golden Corral
Buffet and Grill ("Golden Corral") and Burger King, each accounted for more than
ten percent of total rental revenues in 2003 (including rental revenues from the
Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of total
rental revenues from Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and
Properties owned with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common).
In 2004, it is anticipated that these two Restaurant Chains each will continue
to account for more than ten percent of total rental revenues to which the
Partnership is entitled under the terms of the leases. Any failure of these
lessees or Restaurant Chains will materially affect the Partnership's operating
results if the Partnership is not able to re-lease the Properties in a timely
manner.

During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership also
earned $10,172 and $66,376, respectively, in interest and other income,
respectively. The decrease in interest and other income during the year ended
December 31, 2003, was primarily due to a reduction in interest income as a
result of the collection, during 2002, of the principal balance on a mortgage
note of approximately $917,900. The proceeds were reinvested in 2002 in a
Property in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

Operating expenses, including depreciation expense and provision for
the write-down of assets, were $941,193 and $749,704 for the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in operating expenses
during 2003, as compared to 2002, was primarily the result of the Partnership
recording a provision for write-down of assets of approximately $208,000
relating to the Property in Brandon, Florida. The provision represented the
difference between the Property's net carrying value and it estimated fair
value. The tenant of this Property, Brandon Fast Food Services, Inc., filed for
bankruptcy in February 2002, as described above. Also, depreciation expense
increased due to the acquisition of three Properties in 2002, and state tax
expense relating to several states in which the Partnership conducts business
also increased. The increase in these operating expenses was partially offset by
a decrease in the costs incurred for administrative expenses for servicing the
Partnership and its Properties.

Property expenses were also higher during the year ended December 31,
2002, as compared to 2003, because the Partnership elected to reimburse the
tenant of several Golden Corral Properties for certain renovation costs. During
the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership incurred expenses such as real
estate taxes and legal fees relating to the Property in Brandon, Florida.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership identified and
sold the Property in Baseball City, Florida, the results of which are classified
as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. In May
2002, the Partnership sold this Property resulting in a gain of approximately
$279,800. The Partnership recognized net rental income (rental revenues less
Property related expenses) of $55,304 during the year ended December 31, 2002
relating to this Property.

In October 2003, CNL Restaurant Investments II, in which the
Partnership owns a 36.80% interest, entered into negotiations with a third party
to sell the property in San Antonio, Texas. As a result, the joint venture
reclassified the assets relating to this property from land and building on
operating leases to real estate held for sale. The property was recorded at the
lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. In addition, the
joint venture stopped recording depreciation upon identifying the property as
held for sale.

During 2002, CNL Restaurant Investments II, in which the Partnership
owns a 36.8% interest, identified and sold two Properties in Columbus, Ohio and
Pontiac, Michigan. In June 2002, the joint venture sold its property in
Columbus, Ohio to the tenant and received net sales proceeds of approximately
$1,215,700 resulting in a gain of approximately $448,300. In addition in June
2002, this joint venture sold its property in Pontiac, Michigan to the tenant
and received net sales proceeds of approximately $722,600 resulting in a loss of
$189,800. The joint venture used the proceeds from the sale of the property in
Columbus, Ohio to acquire a property in Dallas, Texas. The Partnership received
approximately $265,900 representing a return of capital for its pro-rata share
of the uninvested net sales proceeds relating to the Property in Pontiac,
Michigan. In August 2002, the Partnership reinvested a portion of the return of
capital in a Property in Kenosha, Wisconsin as tenants-in-common with a Florida
limited partnership and an affiliate of the General Partners.

In addition, during 2002, the Partnership, as tenants-in common with
CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd., an affiliate of the general partners, identified and
sold the Property in Libertyville, Illinois, to a third party and received net
sales proceeds of approximately $1,630,400 resulting in a gain of approximately
$199,300. The Partnership owned a 66% interest in this property. The Partnership
and CNL IX, as a new tenancy in common arrangement, used the liquidating
distribution from the sale of the property to acquire a property in Buffalo
Grove, Illinois.

The financial results of the Properties in San Antonio, Texas;
Columbus, Ohio; Pontiac, Michigan; and Libertyville, Illinois, were reported as
Discontinued Operations in the combined condensed financial information for the
unconsolidated joint ventures and the properties held as tenants-in-common
presented in the footnotes to the accompanying financial statements.

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2002 to the year ended December 31,
2001

Rental revenues from continuing operations were $2,719,772 for the year
ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $2,554,596 in the same period in 2001.
The increase in rental revenues from continuing operations during 2002, as
compared to the same period in 2001, was primarily due to the fact that in 2002
the Partnership reinvested the net proceeds from the 2001 and 2002 sales of
Statesville, North Carolina and Baseball City, Florida and the prepaid principal
received in 2001 and 2002, in three Properties located in Ontario, Oregon,
Denton, Texas, and Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The increase in rental revenues
during 2002 was partially offset by the sale of a Property in 2001.

Also, during 2001, the tenant of the Property in North Fort Myers,
Florida, vacated the Property and ceased making rental payments on this
Property. As a result, the Partnership stopped recording rental revenues
relating to this Property. The lease was terminated in July 2001. In September
2001, the Partnership entered into a new lease with a new tenant for this
Property for which rental payments are lower than rents due under the previous
lease; therefore, the Partnership expects that rental revenues from continuing
operations in future periods will remain at reduced amounts. However, the
General Partners do not anticipate that any decrease in rental revenues from
continuing operations relating to the new lease will have a material adverse
affect on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership also
earned $88,664 and $74,926, respectively, in contingent rental income.

During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership
earned $649,791 and $390,505, respectively, attributable to the net income
earned by unconsolidated joint ventures. The increase in operating results
reported by unconsolidated joint ventures during 2002, was because the
Partnership, as tenants-in-common with CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd., an affiliate of
the General Partners, sold its property in Libertyville, Illinois, to a third
party and received net sales proceeds of approximately $1,630,400 resulting in a
gain of approximately $199,300. The Partnership owned a 66% interest in this
property. The Partnership recognized its pro-rata share of the net gain
resulting from this sale.

In addition, CNL Restaurant Investments II, in which the Partnership
owns a 36.8% interest, sold its property in Columbus, Ohio to the tenant and
received net sales proceeds of approximately $1,215,700 resulting in a gain of
approximately $448,300. CNL Restaurant Investments II, also sold its property in
Pontiac, Michigan to the tenant and received net sales proceeds of approximately
$722,600 resulting in a loss of $189,800. The Partnership recognized its
pro-rata share of the net gain resulting from these sales.

Net operating results reported by unconsolidated joint ventures also
increased during 2002, because in both 2002 and 2001, the Partnership invested
in a joint venture and in four Properties, each as a separate tenants-in-common
arrangement, with Florida limited partnerships and affiliates of the General
Partners. In addition, net operating results reported by unconsolidated joint
ventures were lower in 2001 because Middleburg Joint Venture sold its Property
and recognized a loss of approximately $61,900.

During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership also
earned $66,376 and $270,989, respectively, in interest and other income. The
decrease in interest and other income during 2002 was partially due to a
reduction in interest income as a result of the prepayment of principal on two
mortgage notes of approximately $441,500 during 2001, and the prepayment of
principal on a third mortgage note of approximately $917,900 during 2002. The
proceeds were reinvested in 2002 in a Property in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
During 2001, the Partnership received and recorded as income additional amounts
relating to a settlement from the Florida Department of Transportation for a
right-of-way taking relating to a parcel of land on its Property in Brooksville,
Florida. No such income was received during 2002.

Operating expenses, including depreciation expense and provision for
write-down of assets, were $749,704 and $1,063,334 for the years ended December
31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Operating expenses were higher during 2001,
primarily as a result of the recording of provisions for write-down of assets in
the amounts of $181,815 and $117,664, relating to the Properties in North Fort
Myers, Florida, and Statesville, North Carolina because the tenants ceased
operations and vacated the Properties. The provisions represented the difference
between the carrying value of the Properties, and their estimated fair value.
The Partnership also incurred expenses such as, real estate taxes, legal, and
repairs and maintenance, relating to the Property in North Fort Myers, Florida
during 2001. In September 2001, the Partnership entered into a new lease with a
new tenant for the Property in North Fort Myers, Florida, and the new tenant is
responsible for the property expenses. The decrease in operating expenses was
partially offset by legal expenses incurred in 2002 relating to the filing for
bankruptcy of a tenant, Brandon Fast Food Services, Inc.

In addition, the decrease in operating expenses during 2002 was due to
lower administrative expenses incurred for servicing the Partnership and its
Properties and due to a decrease in state taxes. The decrease in operating
expenses during 2002 was partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense
due to the purchase of three Properties during 2002 and the fact that during
2001, the Partnership reclassified the lease relating to the Property in North
Fort Myers, Florida from direct financing leases to operating leases as a result
of the tenant vacating the Property.

The decrease in operating expenses during 2002 was partially offset by
higher property expenses in 2002 because the Partnership elected to reimburse
the tenant of several restaurant properties for certain renovation costs.

In May 2002, the Partnership sold its property in Baseball City,
Florida to the tenant and received net sales proceeds of approximately
$1,184,600, resulting in a gain on disposal of discontinued operations of
approximately $279,800. The partnership identified this property for sale during
2002.

The Property in Statesville, North Carolina was sold in May 2001, and
the Partnership received net sales proceeds of approximately $877,000 resulting
in a gain of approximately $28,300.

The General Partners continuously evaluate strategic alternatives for
the Partnership, including alternatives to provide liquidity to the Limited
Partners.

The Partnership's leases as of December 31, 2003, are generally
triple-net leases and 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. Inflation, overall, has had a minimal effect on
results of operations of the Partnership. Continued inflation 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 January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities" to expand upon and strengthen existing accounting guidance
that addresses when a company should include the assets, liabilities and
activities of another entity in its financial statements. To improve financial
reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities, FIN 46 requires
that a variable interest entity be consolidated by a company if that company is
subject to a majority risk of loss from the variable interest entity's
activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or
both. Prior to FIN 46, a company generally included another entity in its
consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through
voting interests. In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R
("FIN 46R"), to clarify some of the provisions of FIN 46. Under FIN 46R, special
effective date provisions apply to entities that have fully or partially applied
FIN 46 prior to issuance of FIN 46R. Otherwise, application of FIN 46R is
required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in
structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for periods
ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities, other than small
business issuers, for all other types of variable interest entities is required
in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The Partnership
did not fully or partially apply FIN 46 prior to the issuance of FIN 46R. Also,
the Partnership does not have interests in structures commonly referred to as
special-purpose entities. Therefore, application of FIN 46R is required in the
Partnership's financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The
General Partners believe adoption of this standard may result in either
consolidation or additional disclosure requirements of the Partnership's
unconsolidated joint ventures, which are currently accounted for under the
equity method. However, such consolidation is not expected to significantly
impact the Partnership's results of operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001


1. Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of Business - CNL Income Fund VIII, 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 and family-style 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 real
estate property acquisitions at cost. The properties are leased to
third parties generally 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.
During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, tenants paid,
or are expected to pay directly to real estate taxing authorities
approximately $463,000, $477,000, and $433,000, respectively, in
estimated real estate taxes in accordance with the terms of their
leases.

The leases of the Partnership provide for base minimum annual rental
payments payable in monthly installments. In addition, certain leases
provide for contingent rental revenues based on the tenants' gross
sales in excess of a specified threshold. The Partnership defers
recognition of the contingent rental revenues until the defined
thresholds are met. The leases are accounted for using either the
operating or the direct financing methods.

Operating method - Real estate property 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.

Direct financing method - 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). 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 investment in the
leases. For property leases classified as direct financing
leases, the building portions of the majority of property
leases are accounted for as direct financing leases while the
land portions of these leases are accounted for as operating
leases.

Accrued rental income represents the aggregate amount of income
recognized on a straight-line basis in excess of scheduled rental
payments to date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001


1. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

Substantially all leases are for 9 to 25 years and provide for minimum
and contingent rentals. The lease options generally allow tenants to
renew the leases for two to four successive five-year periods subject
to the same terms and conditions of 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.

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, are removed from the
accounts and gains or losses from sales are reflected in income. The
general partners of the Partnership review the 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 estimated fair value.

When the collection of amounts recorded as rental or other income is
considered to be doubtful, a provision is recorded to increase the
allowance for doubtful accounts. 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 87.68%
interest in Woodway Joint Venture using the consolidation method.
Minority interest represents the minority joint venture partner's
proportionate share of the equity in the Partnership's consolidated
joint venture. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.

The Partnership's investments in Asheville Joint Venture; CNL
Restaurant Investments II; Bossier City Joint Venture; and CNL VIII, X,
XII Kokomo Joint Venture; and a property in Walker, Louisiana; a
property in Denver, Colorado; a property in Kenosha, Wisconsin; and a
property in Buffalo Grove, Illinois for which each property is held
with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common, are
accounted for using the equity method since each joint venture
agreement requires the consent of all partners on all key decisions
affecting the operations of the underlying property.

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. 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 represent a reduction
of Partnership equity and a reduction in the basis of each partner's
investment.

Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001


1. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

Rents Paid in Advance - Rents paid in advance by lessees for future
periods are deferred upon receipt and are recognized as revenues during
the period in which the rental income is earned.

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.

Reclassification - Certain items in the prior year's financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to 2003 presentation.
These reclassifications had no effect on partner's capital, net income
or cash flows.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 - Effective January
1, 2002, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144 ("FAS 144") "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement requires that a
long-lived asset be tested for recoverability whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be
recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not
recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows
expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.
The assessment is based on the carrying amount of the asset at the date
it is tested for recoverability. An impairment loss is recognized when
the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its estimated fair
value. If an impairment is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of
a long-lived asset is its new cost basis. The statement also requires
that the results of operations of a component of an entity that either
has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale be reported as a
discontinued operation if the disposal activity was initiated
subsequent to the adoption of the Standard.

FASB Interpretation No. 46 - In January 2003, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" to expand upon and
strengthen existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company
should include the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity
in its financial statements. To improve financial reporting by
companies involved with variable interest entities, FIN 46 requires
that a variable interest entity be consolidated by a company if that
company is subject to a majority risk of loss from the variable
interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the
entity's residual returns or both. Prior to FIN 46, a company generally
included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only
if it controlled the entity through voting interests. In December 2003,
the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), to clarify
some of the provisions of FIN 46. Under FIN 46R, special effective date
provisions apply to entities that have fully or partially applied FIN
46 prior to issuance of FIN 46R. Otherwise, application of FIN 46R is
required in financial statements of public entities that have interests
in structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities
for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public
entities, other than small business issuers, for all other types of
variable interest entities is required in financial statements for
periods ending after March 15, 2004. The Partnership did not fully or
partially apply FIN 46 prior to the issuance of FIN 46R. Also, the
Partnership does not have interests in structures commonly referred to
as special-purpose entities. Therefore, application of FIN 46R is
required in the Partnership's financial statements for periods ending
after March 15, 2004. The General Partners believe adoption of this
standard may result in either consolidation or

the profits and losses of Asheville Joint Venture, CNL Restaurant
Investments II, Bossier City Joint Venture, and CNL VIII, X, XII Kokomo
Joint Venture, respectively. The remaining interests in these joint
ventures are held by affiliates of the Partnership which have the same
general partners. Asheville Joint Venture, Bossier City Joint Venture,
and CNL VIII, X, XII Kokomo Joint Venture each owns one property, and
CNL Restaurant Investments II owns five properties. In addition, the
Partnership owns properties in Walker, Louisiana; Denver, Colorado;
Kenosha, Wisconsin; and Buffalo Grove, Illinois as tenants-in-common
with affiliates of the General Partners. As of December 31, 2003, the
Partnership owned a 17%, 19.3%, 10%, and 66% interest, respectively, in
these properties, as four separate tenancy-in common arrangements.

In June 2002, CNL Restaurant Investments II, in which the Partnership

4. Investment in Joint Ventures - Continued

The Partnership received approximately $265,900 representing a return
of capital for its pro-rata share of the uninvested net sales proceeds
relating to the Property in Pontiac, Michigan. In August 2002, the
Partnership reinvested $188,300 of the return of capital in a Property
in Kenosha, Wisconsin as tenants-in-common with CNL Income Fund XVII,
Ltd. ("CNL XVII"), a Florida limited partnership and an affiliate of
the general partners. The Partnership and CNL XVII entered into an
agreement whereby each co-tenant will share in the profits and losses
of each property in proportion to its applicable percentage interest.

In September 2002, the Partnership, with CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd., an
affiliate of the general partner, sold its property in Libertyville,
Illinois, to a third party and received net sales proceeds of
approximately $1,630,400 resulting in a gain of approximately $199,300.
The Partnership and CNL IX, as a new tenancy in common arrangement,
used the liquidating distribution from the sale of the property to
acquire a property in Buffalo Grove, Illinois at an approximate cost of
$1,588,800. The property was acquired from CNL Net Lease Investors,
L.P., an affiliate of the general partners.

In October 2003, CNL Restaurant Investments II, in which the
Partnership owns a 36.80% interest, entered into negotiations with a
third party to sell the property in San Antonio, Texas. As a result,
the joint venture reclassified the assets relating to this property
from land and building on operating leases to real estate held for
sale. The property was recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or
fair value less cost to sell. The joint venture stopped recording
depreciation upon identifying the property as held for sale.

The financial results relating to the properties in Columbus, Ohio,
Pontiac, Michigan, Libertyville, Illinois, and San Antonio, Texas are
reflected as discontinued operations below.

12 monthly installments of interest only, in 17 monthly installments of
$15,413 consisting of principal and interest, and thereafter in 151
monthly installments of $12,633 consisting of principal and interest.
In 1999, the borrower repaid a portion of the principal in the amount
of $272,500. In 2002, the borrower repaid approximately $917,900 which
represented the remaining outstanding principal balance.

6. Discontinued Operations

In May 2002, the Partnership sold its property in Baseball City,

7. Allocations and Distributions

From inception through December 31, 1999, generally, all net income and
net losses of the Partnership, excluding gains and losses from the sale
of properties, were allocated 99% to the limited partners and one
percent to the General Partners. From inception through December 31,
1999, distributions of net cash flow were made 99% to the limited
partners and one percent to the General Partners; however, 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, cumulative, 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 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% 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;
thereafter, 95% 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
account 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% 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 Partners in
succeeding years. Accordingly, the General Partners were not allocated
any net income and did not receive any distributions for the years
ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, the
Partnership declared distributions to the limited partners of
$3,150,004, $3,325,004, and $3,150,004, respectively. During the
quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership declared a special
distribution to the Limited Partners of $175,000, which represented
cumulative excess operating reserves. This special distribution was
effectively a return of a portion of the limited partners' investment,
although in accordance with the partnership agreement, $175,000 was
applied toward the limited partners' 10% Preferred Return. No
distributions have been made to the general partners to date.

9. 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 APF Partners, LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of CNL Restaurant
Properties, Inc. (formerly CNL American Properties Fund, Inc.) served
as the Partnership's advisor until January 1, 2002, when it assigned
its rights and obligations under a management agreement to RAI
Restaurants, Inc ("the Advisor"). The Advisor is a wholly owned
subsidiary of CNL Restaurant Properties, Inc. ("CNL-RP"). The
individual general partners are stockholders and directors of CNL-RP.

The Advisor provides 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 percent of the sum of gross revenues from properties wholly owned
by the Partnership and the Partnership's allocable share of gross
revenues from joint ventures, but not in excess of competitive fees for
comparable services. These fees will be incurred and will be payable
only after the limited partners receive their 10% Preferred Return. Due
to the fact that these fees are noncumulative, if the limited partners
have not received their 10% Preferred Return in any particular year, no
management fees will be due or payable for such year. As a result of
such threshold, no management fees were incurred during the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

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 sale. 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 receipt by the limited partners of their aggregate 10%
Preferred Return, plus their adjusted capital contributions. No
deferred, subordinated real estate disposition fees were incurred for
the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, the
Partnership's advisor and its affiliates provided accounting and
administrative services. The Partnership incurred $143,519, $184,100,
and $201,158, for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001,
respectively, for such services.

In April 2001, the Partnership, CNL Income Fund X, Ltd., and CNL Income
Fund XII, Ltd., through a joint venture agreement, acquired an interest
in a Golden Corral property from CNL BB Corp., an affiliate of the
general partners, at an approximate cost of $2,112,000. CNL Income Fund
X, Ltd. and CNL Income Fund XII, Ltd., are Florida limited partnerships
and affiliates of the general partners. CNL BB Corp. had purchased and
temporarily held title to this property in order to facilitate the
acquisition of the property by the Partnership. The purchase price paid
by the Partnership represents the costs incurred by CNL BB Corp. to
acquire and carry the property.

in June 2002, CNL Restaurant Investments II also acquired a property in
Dallas, Texas, from CNL Funding 2001-A, LP, for approximately
$1,147,400. CNL Funding 2001-A, LP, an affiliate of the general
partners, had purchased and temporarily held title to the properties in
order to facilitate the acquisition of the properties by the
Partnership and the joint venture. The purchase price paid by the
Partnership and the joint venture represented the costs incurred by CNL
Funding 2001-A, LP to acquire and carry the properties.

In September 2002, the Partnership acquired a property, in Eden
Prairie, Minnesota, from CNL Net Lease Investors, L.P. ("NLI"), at an
approximate cost of $1,093,900. In addition, the Partnership and CNL
IX, as tenants-in-common, acquired from NLI a property in Buffalo
Grove, Illinois at an approximate cost of $1,588,800. During 2002, and
prior to the Partnership's acquisition of these properties, CNL
Financial LP Holding, LP ("CFN") and CNL Net Lease Investors GP Corp.
("GP Corp") purchased the limited partner's interest and general
partner's interest, respectively, of NLI. Prior to this transaction, an
affiliate of the Partnership's general partners owned a 0.1% interest
in NLI and served as a general partner of NLI. The original general
partners of NLI waived their rights to benefit from this transaction.
The acquisition price paid by CFN for the limited partner's interest
was based on the portfolio acquisition price. The Partnership acquired
the properties at CFN's cost and did not pay any additional
compensation to CFN for the acquisition of the properties. Each CNL
entity is an affiliate of the Partnership's general partners.

throughout the United States and the Partnership's lessees operate a

restaurant chains could significantly impact the results of operations
of the Partnership if the Partnership is not able to re-lease the

Partnership's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. The principal executive
and financial officers of the corporate general partner have evaluated the
Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K and have determined that such

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the General Partners, the
officers of the corporate General Partner, and persons who own more than ten
percent of a registered class of the Partnership's equity securities
(collectively, the "Reporting Persons"), to file reports of ownership and
changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC. Reporting Persons are
required by SEC regulation to furnish the Partnership with copies of all Forms
3, 4 and 5 that they file.

Based solely on the General Partners' review of the copies of such
forms the Partnership has received and written representations from certain
Reporting Persons that they were not required to file Forms 5 for the last
fiscal year, the General Partners believe that all Reporting Persons complied
with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions
during fiscal 2003.

Code of Business Conduct

The Partnership does not have employees and, accordingly, has not
adopted a code of business conduct applicable exclusively to the Partnership.
However, employees of the General Partners or their affiliates, including the
individual General Partners, are bound by the Code of Business Conduct adopted
November 11, 2003 by CNL Holdings, Inc. Separately, the employees of the Advisor
are bound by the similar Code of Business Conduct adopted by CNL Restaurant
Properties, Inc. Each of these codes of business conduct will be made available
to any person who writes the Partnership requesting a copy.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Due to its organization as a limited partnership, the Partnership does
not have an audit committee that is responsible for supervising the
Partnership's relationship with its independent auditors. For the Partnership,
this role is performed by the General Partners. Based on his previous service as
the principal financial officer of companies with businesses similar to that of
the Partnership, Robert A. Bourne, one of the General Partners, has the
requisite experience to be considered an "audit committee financial expert" as
defined in the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, if the
Partnership had an audit committee. As a General Partner, Mr. Bourne is not
independent of the Partnership.


Item 11. Executive Compensation

Other than as described in Item 13, the Partnership has not paid and
does not intend to pay any executive compensation to the General Partners or any
of their affiliates. There are no compensatory plans or arrangements regarding
termination of employment or change of control.







Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and
Related Stockholder Matters

As of March 12, 2004, no person was known to the Registrant to be a
beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Units.

The following table sets forth, as of March 12, 2004, the beneficial
ownership interests of the General Partners in the Registrant.
