NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:

Datronic Equipment Income Fund XVII, L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership"), was formed on May 12, 1988 for the purpose of acquiring and
leasing both high- and low- technology equipment. See Notes 4, 7, and 9 to the
Partnership's financial statements included in the 1999 Form 10-K for a
discussion of the alleged diversion of Partnership assets in 1991 and 1992 and
the subsequent litigation and settlement, change in general partner, new classes
of limited partners established and amendments to the Partnership Agreement
which occurred.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Partnership's financial statements included in the 1999 Form 10-K. The financial
information furnished herein is unaudited but in the opinion of Management
includes all adjustments necessary (all of which are normal recurring
adjustments) for a fair presentation of financial condition and results of
operations. See Note 2 to the Partnership's financial statements included in the
1999 Form 10-K.

PART I

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

The following discussion and analysis of liquidity and capital resources covers
material changes in the Partnership's financial condition from December 31, 1999
through March 31, 2000. The discussion and analysis of results of operations is
for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the corresponding
period in 1999. Any capitalized term not defined herein has been defined or
discussed in the Partnership's 1999 Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2000, Partnership assets continued to be
converted to cash in order to pay Partnership operating expenses and to provide
for the ultimate liquidation of the Partnership. During the three months ended
March 31, 2000, Partnership cash and cash equivalents decreased by $451,000 to
$1,757,000 at March 31, 2000 from $2,208,000 at December 31, 1999. This decrease
is primarily due to cash used in operations of $531,000, partially offset by
cash receipts from collections on leases of $21,000 and a distribution of
Diverted and other assets of $59,000.

The General Partner has declared an additional distribution totaling $407,000,
payable to Limited Partners who are owners of record on March 31, 2000. This
distribution will be allocated to the Limited Partners based on their
proportionate shares of total partners' capital attributable to their Class.

The Partnership's sources of future liquidity are expected to come from
cash-on-hand and the proceeds from the sale of Diverted Assets (consisting of
cash and an office building in Schaumburg, Illinois). The general partner
expects that this building will be sold sometime during 2000 and the proceeds
included in a subsequent distribution to Limited Partners.

The Partnership's interest in the Schaumburg office building is carried on its
books at $110,000 (see Note 4 to the Partnership's financial statements included
in the 1999 Form 10-K). At March 1993, the date LRC was appointed general
partner, the building was approximately 40% occupied. Since then, occupancy has
increased to more than 80% and base rental rates have increased by 75%.
Accordingly, the general partner believes that the value of the building has
increased and that this value will be realized when the building is sold. The
amount to be realized from the sale of the building, however, cannot be
determined until it is sold.

After all assets are disposed of and the proceeds distributed to the Limited
Partners, the Partnership will be required to file final reports with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Internal Revenue Service. The general
partner expects this to occur sometime during 2001.

Results of Operations

The Partnership had a net loss of $513,000 for the three month period ended
March 31, 2000 in the aggregate for all classes of partners. This compares to an
aggregate net loss of $144,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1999.
Differences in operating results between Liquidating and Continuing Limited
Partners are attributable to lease income and expenses associated with lease
investments made since the March 4, 1993 Settlement. Liquidating Limited
Partners do not participate in these post Settlement activities. Significant
factors affecting overall operating results for the periods ended March 31, 2000
and 1999 include the following:

Lease income:
The Partnership no longer has an active lease portfolio. However, it does have
$935,000 of fully reserved lease balances. Occasionally recoveries are made
against these balances and any such amounts in excess of the reserve result in
lease income.

Interest income:
Interest income includes earnings on invested cash balances. Interest income for
2000 was lower than 1999 because the $3.3 million cash distribution paid to
Limited Partners in April 1999 reduced average invested cash balances.

General Partner's expense reimbursement:
General Partner's expense reimbursement includes payments to LRC for expenses it
incurred as general partner. These expenses represent expenses incurred by LRC
in its management of the day-to-day operations of the Partnership. Included in
the first quarter 2000 expenses are $303,000 of insurance premiums associated
with the final wrap up of Partnership affairs and its ultimate liquidation and
dissolution.

Professional fees:
Professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2000 reflect a decreasing
level of professional services required as a result of the decrease in the
Partnership's lease collections and related activities.

Credit for lease losses:
This credit reflects recoveries of previously reserved amounts.
