ITEM 1.  CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.

              Not applicable.

ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         STATUS OF THE OFFERING

         Pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, effective August 11, 1995 (the
"Registration Statement"), CNL Income Fund XVII, Ltd. ("CNL XVII") and CNL
Income Fund XVIII, Ltd. ("CNL XVIII"), limited partnerships with the same
general partners and investment objectives, registered for sale an aggregate
of $65,000,000 of units of limited partnership interest (the "Units")
(6,500,000 Units at $10 per Unit).  The first 3,000,000 Units ($30,000,000)
were for CNL XVII, and the remaining Units are for CNL XVIII.  The offering of
Units of CNL XVII terminated on September 19, 1996, at which time
subscriptions for an aggregate 3,000,000 Units ($30,000,000), including Units
sold pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan, had been received and 1,602
subscribers had been admitted as Limited Partners in accordance with the
Partnership Agreement of CNL XVII.

         As stated in the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus
which constitutes a part thereof, as supplemented and amended, the proceeds of
the offering of Units are to be used to acquire restaurant properties to be
leased primarily to operators of national and regional fast-food, family-
style, and casual dining restaurant chains (the "Properties"), to pay expenses
in connection with the offering of Units and to pay partnership organizational
costs.

         ACQUISITION OF PROPERTIES

         From August 8, 1996 through December 11, 1996, CNL XVII acquired four
Properties, including one Property as tenants-in-common with an Affiliate of
the General Partners which consists of land and building and three Properties
which consist of land and building.  The Properties are two Boston Market
Properties (one in each of Fayetteville, North Carolina, and Long Beach,
California), an Arby's Property (in Plainfield, Indiana), and a Burger King
Property (in Lyons, Illinois).

         The Boston Market Properties in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and
Long Beach, California, were acquired from an Affiliate of CNL XVII.  The
Affiliate had purchased and temporarily held title to these Properties in
order to facilitate the acquisition of the Properties by CNL XVII.  The
Property in Fayetteville, North Carolina, was acquired as tenants-in-common
with an Affiliate of the General Partners.  The Property in Long Beach,
California, was acquired as a wholly owned Property by CNL XVII.  The purchase
prices paid by CNL XVII, and in the case of the tenancy-in-common, CNL XVII
and an Affiliate of the General Partners, represented actual costs incurred by
the Affiliate who originally had purchased and temporarily held title to these
Properties, to acquire the Properties, including closing costs.

         In connection with the purchase of each of these four Properties, CNL
XVII, as lessor, entered into a long-term lease agreement with an unaffiliated
lessee.  The leases are on a triple-net basis, with the lessee responsible for
all repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities.  The
lessee also is required to pay for special assessments, sales and use taxes,
and the cost of any renovations permitted under the lease.  Upon termination
of the lease, the lessee will surrender possession of the Property to CNL
XVII, together with any improvements made to the Property during the term of
the lease.

         For the Property that is to be constructed, CNL XVII has entered into
development and indemnification and put agreements with the lessee.

         The following table sets forth the location of the four Properties
acquired by CNL XVII between August 8, 1996 and December 11, 1996, a
description of the competition, and a summary of the principal terms of the
acquisition and lease of each Property.

                        PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


      The following Pro Forma Balance Sheet of CNL Income Fund XVII, Ltd.
("CNL XVII") gives effect to (i) property acquisition transactions from
inception through September 30, 1996, including the receipt of $29,903,675 in
gross offering proceeds from the sale of 2,990,368 units of limited
partnership interest (the "Units") pursuant to a registration statement on
Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, effective August 11,
1995, and the application of such funds to acquire 19 properties, two of which
were under construction at September 30, 1996, and to pay organizational and
offering expenses, acquisition fees, and miscellaneous acquisition expenses,
(ii) the receipt of $96,325 in gross offering proceeds from the sale of 9,632
additional Units during the period October 1, 1996 through December 11, 1996,
and (iii) the application of such funds and $6,122,038 of cash and cash
equivalents at September 30, 1996, to purchase four additional properties,
including one property acquired as tenants-in-common with an affiliate of the
general partners, acquired during the period October 1, 1996 through December
11, 1996, one of which is under construction, to pay additional construction
costs for the two properties under construction at September 30, 1996, and to
pay offering expenses, acquisition fees, and miscellaneous acquisition
expenses, all as reflected in the pro forma adjustments described in the
related notes.  The Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1996, includes
the transactions described in (i) above, from its historical balance sheet,
adjusted to give effect to the transactions in (ii) and (iii) above, as if
they had occurred on September 30, 1996.

      The Pro Forma Statements of Income for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 and the period February 10, 1995 (date of inception) through December
31, 1995, include the historical operating results of the properties described
in (i) above from the dates of their acquisitions, plus operating results for
three of the 23 properties that were wholly owned by CNL XVII or held as
tenants-in-common with an affiliate of the general partners as of December 11,
1996, and had a previous rental history prior to CNL XVII's acquisition of
such property, from (A) the later of (1) the date the property became
operational as a rental property by the previous owner or (2) November 4, 1995
(the date CNL XVII became operational), to (B) the earlier of (1) the date the
property was acquired by CNL XVII or (2) the end of the pro forma period
presented.  No pro forma adjustments have been made to the Pro Forma
Statements of Income for the remaining 20 properties owned by CNL XVII as of
December 11, 1996, due to the fact that these properties did not have a
previous rental history.

      This pro forma financial information is presented for informational
purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of CNL XVII's financial
results or condition if the various events and transactions reflected therein
had occurred on the dates, or been in effect during the periods, indicated.

XVII's financial results or conditions in the future.

Pro Forma Balance Sheet:
- -----------------------

(a)   Represents gross proceeds of $96,325 from the sale of 9,632 Units during

(b)   Represents the use of $190,493 of CNL XVII's net offering proceeds to
      acquire an approximate 20 percent interest in the Boston Market property
      in Fayetteville, NC, as tenants-in-common with an affiliate of the
      general partners.  CNL XVII accounts for its investment in this property
      using the equity method since the partnership shares control with an
      affiliate, and amounts relating to this investment are classified as an
      investment in joint venture.

      The pro forma adjustments to investment in joint venture and other
      assets as a result of the above transaction were as follows:

            Investment in joint venture:
              Acquisition of approximate
                20 percent interest in the

(c)   In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, leases in
      which the present value of future minimum lease payments equals or
      exceeds 90 percent of the value of the related properties are treated as
      direct financing leases rather than as land and buildings on operating
      leases.  The categorization of the leases has no effect on cash flows
      received.  The building portion of four properties has been classified
      as direct financing leases.

Pro Forma Statements of Income:
- ------------------------------

(1)   Represents rental income from operating leases for the two wholly owned
      properties acquired during the period November 4, 1995 (the date CNL
      XVII began operations) through December 11, 1996, which had a previous
      rental history prior to the acquisition of the property by CNL XVII (the
      "Pro Forma Properties"), for the period commencing (A) the later of (i)
      the date the Pro Forma Properties became operational as rental
      properties by the previous owner or (ii) November 4, 1995 (the date CNL
      XVII became operational), to (B) the earlier of (i) the date the Pro
      Forma Properties were acquired by CNL XVII or (ii) the end of the pro
      forma period presented.  The Pro Forma Properties were acquired from
      affiliates who had purchased and temporarily held title to the
      properties in order to facilitate their acquisition by CNL XVII.  The
      noncancellable leases for the Pro Forma Properties in place during the
      period the affiliates owned the Pro Forma Properties were assigned to
      CNL XVII at the time CNL XVII acquired the properties.  The following
      presents the actual dates the Pro Forma Properties were acquired by CNL
      XVII, as compared to the dates the Pro Forma Properties were treated as
      placed in service for purposes of the Pro Forma Statements of Income.

                                           Date Placed        Pro Forma

            Denny's in Kentwood, MI      March 19, 1996   November 4, 1995
            Boston Market in Long
              Beach, CA                 December 5, 1996    June 14, 1996

      In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, lease
      revenue from leases accounted for under the operating method is
      recognized over the term of the lease.  For operating leases providing
      escalating guaranteed minimum rents, income is reported on a straight-
      line basis over the terms of the leases.  For leases accounted for as
      direct financing leases, future minimum lease payments are recorded as a
      receivable.  The difference between the receivable and the estimated
      residual values less the cost of the properties is recorded as unearned
      income.  Accordingly, pro forma rental income from the operating leases
      and earned income from direct financing leases does not necessarily
      represent cash rental payments that would have been received if the
      properties had been operational for the full pro forma period.

      The leases relating to the Pro Forma Properties provide for the payment
      of percentage rent in addition to base rental income.  However, due to
      the fact that no percentage rent was due under the leases for the Pro
      Forma Properties during the portion of 1996 and 1995 that the previous
      owners held the properties, no pro forma adjustments were made for
      percentage rental income.

(2)   See Note (c) under "Pro Forma Balance Sheet" above for a description of
      direct financing leases.

(3)   Represents adjustment to interest income due to the decrease in the
      amount of cash available for investment in interest bearing accounts
      during the period commencing (A) on the later of (i) the date the Pro
      Forma Property became operational as a rental property by the previous
      owner or (ii) November 4, 1995 (the date CNL XVII became operational),
      through (B) the earlier of (i) the date the Pro Forma Property was
      acquired by CNL XVII or (ii) the end of the pro forma period presented,
      as described in Note (1) above.  The estimated pro forma adjustment is
      based upon the fact that interest income on interest bearing accounts
      was earned at a rate of approximately four percent per annum by CNL XVII
      during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and the period February
      10, 1995 (date of inception) through December 31, 1995.

(4)   Represents incremental increase in management fees relating to the Pro
      Forma Properties for the period commencing (A) on the later of (i) the
      date the Pro Forma Property became operational as a rental property by
      the previous owner or (ii) November 4, 1995 (the date CNL XVII became
      operational), through (B) the earlier of (i) the date the Pro Forma
      Property was acquired by CNL XVII or (ii) the end of the pro forma
      period presented, as described in Note (1) above.  Management fees are
      equal to one percent of the gross revenues (excluding noncash lease
      accounting adjustments) that CNL XVII earns from its properties.

(5)   Represents incremental increase in depreciation expense of the building
      portion of the Pro Forma Properties accounted for as operating leases
      using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 30
      years.

(6)   Represents CNL XVII's approximate 20 percent interest in rental income
      from an operating lease, net of depreciation expense, for the one
      property acquired as tenants-in-common with an affiliate of the general
      partners, during the period November 4, 1995 (the date CNL XVII began
      operations) through December 11, 1996, which had a previous rental
      history prior to the acquisition of the property by CNL XVII and an
      affiliate of the general partners as tenants-in-common (the "Pro Forma
      TIC Property"), for the period commencing (A) the later of (i) the date
      the Pro Forma TIC Property became operational as a rental property by
      the previous owner or (ii) November 4, 1995 (the date CNL XVII became
      operational), to (B) the earlier of (i) the date the Pro Forma TIC
      Property was acquired by CNL XVII and an affiliate of the general
      partners as tenants-in-common or (ii) the end of the pro forma period
      presented.  The Pro Forma TIC Property was acquired from an affiliate
      who had purchased and temporarily held title to the property in order to
      facilitate its acquisition by CNL XVII and an affiliate of the general
      partners as tenants-in-common.  The noncancellable lease for the Pro
      Forma TIC Property in place during the period the affiliate owned the
      Pro Forma TIC Property was assigned to CNL XVII and an affiliate of the
      general partners as tenants-in-common at the time CNL XVII and the
      affiliate of the general partners acquired the property as tenants-in-
      common.  The following presents the actual date the Pro Forma TIC
      Property was acquired by CNL XVII and the affiliate of the general
      partners, as compared to the date the Pro Forma TIC Property was treated
      as placed in service for purposes of the Pro Forma Statements of Income.

              Fayetteville, NC           October 4, 1996     June 7, 1996

(7)   Historical net income per limited partner unit was calculated based upon
      the weighted average number of limited partner units outstanding during
      the nine months ended September 30, 1996, and during the period CNL XVII
      was operational, November 4, 1995 (the date following when CNL XVII
      received the minimum offering proceeds and funds were released from
      escrow) through December 31, 1995.

      As a result of one of the Pro Forma Properties being treated in the Pro
      Forma Statement of Income for the period February 10, 1995 (date of
      inception) through December 31, 1995, as placed in service on November
      4, 1995 (the date CNL XVII became operational), CNL XVII assumed
      approximately 86,400 units of limited partnership interest were sold,
      and the net offering proceeds were available for investment, as of such
      date.  Due to the fact that CNL XVII had actually sold in excess of
      150,000 units as of November 4, 1995, the weighted average number of
      limited partner units outstanding for the pro forma period was not
      adjusted.  Therefore, pro forma net income per limited partner unit was
      calculated based upon the weighted average number of limited partner
      units outstanding during the period CNL XVII was operational, November
      4, 1995 through December 31, 1995.
