CNL INCOME FUND IX, LTD.
(A Florida Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Quarters Ended March 31, 2003 and 2002


1. Basis of Presentation:
----------------------

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
include all of the information and note disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements
reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
which are, in the opinion of the general partners, necessary to a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating
results for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, may not be indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.
Amounts as of December 31, 2002, included in the financial statements,
have been derived from audited financial statements as of that date.

These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in Form 10-K of CNL
Income Fund IX, Ltd. (the "Partnership") for the year ended December
31, 2002.

In January 2003, 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 (more commonly
referred to as special-purpose entities or off-balance sheet
structures), 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. Consolidation of variable interest entities will provide
more complete information about the resources, obligations, risks and
opportunities of the consolidated company. The consolidation
requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities
created after January 31, 2003, and to older entities, in the first
fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The
general partners believe adoption of this standard may result in either
consolidation or additional disclosure requirements with respect to the
Partnership's unconsolidated joint ventures or properties held with
affiliates of the general partners as tenants-in-common, which are
currently accounted for under the equity method. However, such
consolidation is not expected to significantly impact the Partnership's
results of operations.

2. Reclassification:
----------------

Certain items in the prior year's financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to 2003 presentation. These reclassifications
had no effect on total partners' capital or net income.

3. Discontinued Operations:
-----------------------

During 2002, the Partnership identified for sale two properties that
were classified as Discontinued Operations in the accompanying
financial statements. The Partnership sold one of the properties during
2002. In February 2003, the Partnership sold the other property and
recorded a gain on disposal of assets of approximately $300 during the
quarter ended March 31, 2003. The Partnership had recorded provisions
for write-down of assets relating to this property in previous years.

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

CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a Florida limited
partnership that was organized on April 16, 1990, to acquire for cash, either
directly or through joint venture arrangements, both newly constructed and
existing restaurants, as well as land 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 leases
generally are triple-net leases, with the lessees responsible for all repairs
and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities. As of March 31, 2002,
the Partnership owned 21 Properties directly and 17 Properties indirectly
through joint venture or tenancy in common arrangements. As of March 31, 2003,
the Partnership owned 20 Properties directly and 16 Properties indirectly
through joint venture or tenancy in common arrangements.

Capital Resources

Cash from operating activities was $662,950 and $660,114 for the
quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in cash from
operating activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, as compared to the
same period of 2002, was the result of changes in the Partnership's working
capital.

Other sources and uses of cash included the following during the
quarter ended March 31, 2003.

In February 2003, the Partnership sold its Property in Grand Prairie,
Texas, to a third party and received net sales proceeds of approximately
$286,500, resulting in a gain on disposal of assets of approximately $300 during
the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The Partnership had recorded provisions for
write-down of assets in previous years relating to this asset. The Partnership
intends to reinvest these proceeds in an additional Property.

At March 31, 2003, the Partnership had $2,080,014 in cash and cash
equivalents, as compared to $1,913,142 at December 31, 2002. This increase was
primarily a result of the Partnership holding sales proceeds at March 31, 2003,
pending reinvestment in additional Properties. The funds remaining at March 31,
2003, after the payment of distributions and other liabilities, will be used to
invest in additional Properties 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 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.

Total liabilities of the Partnership, including distributions payable,
were $931,159 at March 31, 2003, as compared to $879,522 at December 31, 2002.
The increase in liabilities at March 31, 2003 was primarily due to an increase
in accounts payable and rents paid in advance at March 31, 2003, as compared to
December 31, 2002. The general partners believe that the Partnership has
sufficient cash on hand to meet its current working capital needs.

The Partnership generally distributes cash from operations remaining
after the payment of operating expenses of the Partnership, to the extent that
the general partners determine that such funds are available for distribution.
Based on current and anticipated future cash from operations, the Partnership
declared distributions to limited partners of $787,501 for each of the quarters
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. This represents distributions of $0.23 per unit
for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. No distributions were made to
the general partners for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. No amounts
distributed to the limited partners for the quarters ended March 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. The Partnership intends to continue to make
distributions of cash available for distribution to the limited partners on a
quarterly basis.

Long-Term Liquidity

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

Results of Operations

Total rental revenues were $480,270 during the quarter ended March 31,
2003, as compared to $471,089 during the same period of 2002. Although, the
Partnership sold two Properties during 2002, the decrease in revenues resulting
from the sold Properties, was partially offset because between June and
September 2002 the Partnership reinvested a portion of these sales proceeds in
two additional Properties.

During 2002, the tenant of the Property in North Baltimore, Ohio
terminated the lease, as permitted in the lease agreement, when a partial right
of way taking reduced road access to the restaurant. In addition the tenant of
the Property in Wildwood, Florida, ceased making rental payments and terminated
the lease relating to this Property. The general partners are currently seeking
replacement tenants for these Properties. The lost revenues resulting from the
vacant Properties will continue to have an adverse effect on the results of
operations of the Partnership, until the Partnership is able to re-lease or sell
them.

The Partnership also earned $163,767 attributable to net income earned
by joint ventures during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, as compared to
$161,236 during the same period of 2002. Subsequent to March 31, 2002, the
Partnership sold one Property that had been held with an affiliate, as
tenants-in-common. In addition, subsequent to March 31, 2002, three of the joint
ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer sold four Properties. The
Partnership and joint ventures used these proceeds to acquire additional
Properties held by either joint ventures or with an affiliate, as
tenants-in-common, causing a slight increase in net income earned by joint
ventures.

Operating expenses, including depreciation expense, were $228,789
during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, as compared to $198,620 during the same
period of 2002. Operating expenses were higher during the quarter ended March
31, 2003, due to an increase in the amount of state tax expense relating to
several states in which the Partnership conducts business. During the quarter
ended March 31, 2002, the Partnership incurred Property expenses such as real
estate taxes, insurance and repairs and maintenance relating to the vacant
Property in Wildwood, Florida. Operating expenses were higher during the quarter
ended March 31, 2003, because the Partnership incurred these expenses for the
Property in North Baltimore, Ohio in addition to the Property in Wildwood,
Florida. The Partnership will continue to incur these expenses until the
Properties are re-leased or sold.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership identified for
sale two Properties that were classified as Discontinued Operations in the
accompanying financial statements. The Partnership recognized net rental income
(rental revenues less Property related expenses), of $16,359 during the quarter
ended March 31, 2002 relating to these two Properties. The Partnership sold the
Property in Farragut, Tennessee subsequent to March 31, 2002. In February 2003,
the Partnership sold the other Property, located in Grand Prairie, Texas, and
recorded a gain on disposal of assets of approximately $300. The Partnership had
recorded provisions for write-down of assets in previous years relating to this
Property. The Partnership recognized a net rental loss of $860 during the
quarter ended March 31, 2003, relating to this Property.

In January 2003, 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 (more commonly referred to as special-purpose entities or
off-balance sheet structures), 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. Consolidation of variable
interest entities will provide more complete information about the resources,
obligations, risks and opportunities of the consolidated company. The
consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest
entities created after January 31, 2003, and to older entities, in the first
fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The general
partners believe adoption of this standard may result in either consolidation or
additional disclosure requirements with respect to the Partnership's
unconsolidated joint ventures or Properties held with affiliates of the general
partners as tenants-in-common, which are currently accounted for under the
equity method. However, such consolidation is not expected to significantly
impact the Partnership's results of operations.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

No material changes in the Partnership's market risk occurred from
December 31, 2002 through March 31, 2003. Information regarding the
Partnership's market risk at December 31, 2002 is included in its Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The general partners maintain a set of disclosure controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in 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 within 90 days prior to the
filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such
disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Subsequent to the above evaluation, there were no significant changes
in internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these
controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.

and the audit committee of registrant's board of directors (or
persons performing the equivalent function):

internal controls which could adversely affect the
registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and
report financial data and have identified for the
registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in internal
controls; and

management or other employees who have a significant role
in the registrant's internal controls; and

6. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have indicated in
this quarterly report whether or not there were significant changes
in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
