Item 8.01

Other Information.

On January 5, 2005, Robert Lewis and Sutter Acquisition Fund, LLC, two limited partners in several CNL Income Funds, filed a purported class action lawsuit on behalf of the limited partners of the 18 CNL Income Funds against CNL Restaurant Properties, Inc. (“CNLRP”), U.S. Restaurant Properties, Inc. (“USRP”), the 18 CNL Income Funds, the general partners of the 18 CNL Income Funds, CNL Restaurant Investments, Inc. and CNL Restaurant Capital Corp. in the State District Court of Dallas County, Texas (Cause No. 05-00083). The complaint alleges that the general partners of the CNL Income Funds breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed mergers between the CNL Income Funds and subsidiaries of the operating partnership of USRP and that CNLRP and USRP aided and abetted such alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint further alleges that the general partners violated provisions of the CNL Income Fund partnership agreements and demands an accounting as to the CNL Income Funds. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified compensatory and exemplary damages and equitable relief, including a judgment enjoining the mergers.

The general partners believe that the lawsuit and the request for class certification are without merit and intend to defend vigorously against such claims.
