                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 2000
                                  (Unaudited)

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.

NOTE 3 - LIMITED PARTNERSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS:

During June 2000, the Partnership made a cash distribution to Limited Partners
who were owners of record on March 31, 2000. This distribution was made from
residual cash, which is cash available for distribution after satisfying current
Partnership liabilities and setting aside reserves against potential future
liabilities. The total distribution paid to Continuing and Liquidating Limited
Partners was $373,000 and $34,000, respectively. Pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement, these amounts were allocated among the Limited Partners based on each
partner's proportionate share of total partners' capital attributable to their
Class.

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 June 30, 2000. The discussion and analysis of results of operations is
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the
corresponding periods 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 six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended
June 30, 2000, Partnership cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1,088,000 to
$1,120,000 at June 30, 2000 from $2,208,000 at December 31, 1999. This decrease
is primarily due to a distribution paid to Limited Partners of $407,000 (see
below) and by cash used in operations of $781,000, partially offset by cash
receipts from collections on leases of $41,000 and a distribution of Diverted
and other assets of $59,000.

During June 2000, the Partnership made a cash distribution to Limited Partners
who were owners of record on March 31, 2000. This distribution was made from
residual cash, which is cash available for distribution after satisfying current
Partnership liabilities and setting aside reserves against potential future
liabilities. The total distribution paid to Continuing and Liquidating Limited
Partners was $373,000 and $34,000, respectively. Pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement, these amounts were allocated among the Limited Partners based on each
partner's proportionate share 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,



                                       13

<PAGE>   14

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 net losses of $225,000 and $738,000 for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2000 in the aggregate for all classes of partners.
This compares to aggregate net losses of $126,000 and $270,000 for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2000 and 1999 include the following:

Lease income:
The Partnership no longer has an active lease portfolio. However, it does have
$894,000 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 of lower average invested cash balances,
partially offset by an increase in interest rates.

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 six months ended June 30, 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.
