                                   (Unaudited)

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Century Properties Fund XVII
(the "Partnership") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of Fox Capital Management Corporation ("FCMC" or the "Managing General
Partner"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31,
1996.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 information to conform to
the 1996 presentation.

Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Managing General
Partner and its  affiliates for the management and administration of all
partnership activities.  The Partnership Agreement provides for payments to
affiliates for services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by
affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.
  
The following transactions with affiliates of Insignia Financial Group, Inc.
("Insignia"), National Property Investors, Inc. ("NPI"), and affiliates of NPI

For the period from January 19, 1996, to June 30, 1996, the Partnership insured
its properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated
with the Managing General Partner.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner
acquired, in the acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from
an insurance agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the current
year's master policy.  The current agent assumed the financial obligations to
the affiliate of the Managing General Partner who received payments on these
obligations from the agent.  The amount of the Partnership's insurance premiums
accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the Managing General Partner by
virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant.

Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties - continued

The general partner of the Partnership is Fox Partners, a California general
partnership.  The general partners of Fox Partners are FCMC, a California
corporation, Fox Realty Investors ("FRI"), a California general partnership, and
Fox Partners 82, a California general partnership.

Pursuant to a series of transactions which closed during the first half of 1996,
affiliates of Insignia acquired (i) control of NPI Equity Investments II, Inc.
("NPI Equity"), the managing general partner of FRI, and (ii) all of the issued
and outstanding shares of stock of FCMC.  In connection with these transactions,
affiliates of Insignia appointed new officers and directors of NPI Equity and
FCMC.

The Partnership generated net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996, of
approximately $96,000 compared to approximately $133,000 for the comparable
period of 1995.  For the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership
generated net income of approximately $20,000 as compared to net income of
approximately $52,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease in
net income is primarily attributable to an increase in general and
administrative expenses and depreciation expense which was partially offset by
an increase in other income.  The increase in general and administrative
expenses is due to an increase in expense reimbursements related to the
transition of the partnership administration offices in 1996.  The increase in
other income is due primarily to increased interest income as a result of the
increase in cash reserves held by the Partnership.  Also contributing to the
increase in other income was an increase in the collection of lease cancellation
fees.

As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General
Partner monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment
properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or
increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in
expense.  As part of this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect
the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by
increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level.  However, due
to changing market conditions, which can result in the use of rental concessions
and rental reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no
guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.

At June 30, 1996, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $4,103,000 compared
to $2,680,000 at June 30, 1995.  Net cash provided by operating activities
increased primarily as a result of increased accrued liabilities due to the
timing of the payment of various operating expenses.  Also contributing to the
increase in accrued liabilities was an increase in the amount of prepaid rent
collections at June 30, 1996.  Net cash used in investing activities increased
due to fewer withdrawals being made from capital improvement reserves. 

An affiliate of the Managing General Partner has made available to the
Partnership a credit line of up to $150,000 per property owned by the
Partnership.  The Partnership has no outstanding amounts due under this line of
credit.  Based on present plans, the Managing General Partner does not
anticipate the need to borrow in the near future.  Other than cash and cash
equivalents, the line of credit is the Partnership's only unused source of
liquidity.

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the various properties to adequately maintain the
physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership. Such assets are
currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership.
The mortgage indebtedness of $35,925,000 net of discount,  matures at various
times with balloon payments due at maturity at which time the properties will
either be refinanced or sold.  Future cash distributions will depend on the
levels of net cash generated from operations, property sales and the
availability of cash reserves.  No cash distributions were made in 1995 or
during the first six months of 1996.  Currently, the Managing General Partner is
evaluating the feasibility of a distribution during 1996.  At this time, it
appears that the original investment objective of capital growth will not be
attained and that investors will not receive a return of all of their invested
capital.
