The Form 10-K of CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd. (the "Partnership") for the year ended
December  31,  2002,  is being  amended to include,  in Item  15(d),  summarized
financial information of one of its tenants, Carrols Corporation, as a result of
the fact that this tenant leased more than 20 percent of the Partnership's total
assets  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2002.  This  summarized  financial
information  was not available to the  Partnership  at the time the  Partnership
filed its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

                                     PART IV


Item 15.  Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules and Reports on Form 8-K


     (d)  The Partnership is required to file audited  financial  information of
          its tenant, Carrols Corporation,  because this tenant leased more than
          20  percent  of the  Partnership's  total  assets  for the year  ended
          December 31, 2002. The summarized financial  information presented for
          Carrols Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001,
          and for the three years in the period ended  December  31,  2002,  was
          obtained  from  the  Form  10-K  filed  by  Carrols   Corporation  and
          Subsidiaries,  with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Carrols
          Corporation and  Subsidiaries  uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on
          the Sunday  closest to December 31. For clarity of  presentation,  the
          2002, 2001, and 2000 fiscal years, which represent the 52 week periods
          ended  December  29, 2002,  December 30, 2001,  and December 29, 2000,
          have been described in the Selected  Financial Data below as the years
