                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     Quarters Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998


1.       Basis of Presentation:

         The accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements have been
         prepared in accordance  with the  instructions  to Form 10-Q and do not
         include  all  of the  information  and  note  disclosures  required  by
         generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  The financial  statements
         reflect all adjustments,  consisting of normal  recurring  adjustments,
         which are, in the opinion of management,  necessary to a fair statement
         of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for
         the quarter ended March 31, 1999,  may not be indicative of the results
         that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.  Amounts as
         of December 31, 1998, included in the financial  statements,  have been
         derived from audited financial statements as of that date.

         These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with
         the financial statements and notes thereto included in Form 10-K of CNL
         Income Fund XVII, Ltd. (the  "Partnership") for the year ended December
         31, 1998.

         The Partnership accounts for its 80 percent interest in the accounts of
         CNL/GC El Cajon Joint Venture using the consolidation method.  Minority
         interest represents the minority joint venture partner's  proportionate
         share of the equity in the  Partnership's  consolidated  joint venture.
         All  significant  intercompany  accounts  and  transactions  have  been
         eliminated.

         Effective  January  1,  1999,  the  Partnership  adopted  Statement  of
         Position  98-5  "Reporting  on the Costs of Start-Up  Activities."  The
         Statement  requires  that an  entity  expense  the  costs  of  start-up
         activities  and  organization  costs as they are incurred.  Adoption of
         this  statement  did not have a  material  effect on the  Partnership's
         financial position or results of operations.

         Certain  items in the  prior  year's  financial  statements  have  been
         reclassified to conform to 1999 presentation.  These  reclassifications
         had no effect on partners' capital or net income.

2.       Investment in Joint Ventures:

         In  January  1999,  the  Partnership   entered  into  a  joint  venture
         arrangement,  Ocean Shores Joint Venture, with CNL Income Fund X, Ltd.,
         an affiliate of the general  partners to hold one restaurant  property.
         The  Partnership  contributed   approximately  $359,500  to  the  joint
         venture.  As of March 31, 1999, the Partnership owned a 30.94% interest
         in the  profits  and  losses  of the  joint  venture.  The  Partnership
         accounts  for its  investment  in this joint  venture  under the equity
         method since the Partnership shares control with an affiliate.

                     Quarters Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998


2.       Investment in Joint Ventures - Continued:

         In addition, in January 1999, the Partnership invested in a property in
         Zephyrhills, Florida as tenants-in-common with CNL Income Fund IV, Ltd.
         an  affiliate  of the  general  partners.  As of March  31,  1999,  the
         Partnership  contributed   approximately  $168,400  for  a  24  percent
         interest in the property.  The Partnership  accounts for its investment
         in this property using the equity method since the  Partnership  shares
         control with an affiliate,  and amounts  relating to its investment are
         included in investment in joint ventures.

         The following presents the combined,  condensed  financial  information
         for  all  of  the  Partnership's  investments  in  joint  ventures  and
         properties held as tenants-in-common at:

         ventures.

                     Quarters Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998


3.       Merger Transaction:

         On March 11, 1999, the  Partnership  entered into an Agreement and Plan
         of Merger with CNL American Properties Fund, Inc. ("APF"),  pursuant to
         which the Partnership would be merged with and into a subsidiary of APF
         (the  "Merger").  As  consideration  for the Merger,  APF has agreed to
         issue 3,014,377  shares of its common stock,  par value $0.01 per share
         (the "APF  Shares")  which,  for the  purposes  of  valuing  the merger
         consideration,  have been  valued by APF at $10.00 per APF  Share,  the
         price paid by APF investors in three  previous  public  offerings,  the
         most recent of which was completed in December 1998. In order to assist
         the general  partners in evaluating the proposed merger  consideration,
         the  general  partners  retained  Valuation  Associates,  a  nationally
         recognized real estate  appraisal  firm, to appraise the  Partnership's
         restaurant   property   portfolio.   Based  on  Valuation   Associates'
         appraisal,  the Partnership's  property portfolio and other assets were
         valued on a going  concern  basis  (meaning the  Partnership  continues
         unchanged)  at  $29,681,344  as of December 31,  1998.  Legg Mason Wood
         Walker, Incorporated has rendered a fairness opinion that the APF Share
         consideration,  payable  by  APF,  is fair  to the  Partnership  from a
         financial  point of view.  The APF Shares are expected to be listed for
         trading  on  the  New  York  Stock  Exchange   concurrently   with  the
         consummation  of  the  Merger,  and,  therefore,  if  such  listing  is
         accomplished,  the APF Shares would be freely tradable at the option of
         the former limited partners.  At a special meeting of the partners that
         is expected to be held in the third quarter of 1999,  limited  partners
         holding  in  excess  of 50% of the  Partnership's  outstanding  limited
         partnership  interests must approve the Merger prior to consummation of
         the transaction. If the limited partners at the special meeting approve
         the  Merger,  APF will  own the  properties  and  other  assets  of the
         Partnership.  The general partners intend to recommend that the limited
         partners of the  Partnership  approve the Merger.  In  connection  with
         their recommendation,  the general partners will solicit the consent of
         the limited  partners at the special  meeting.  If the limited partners
         reject  the  Merger,  the  Partnership  will  bear the  portion  of the
         transaction  costs  based upon the  percentage  of "For"  votes and the
         general partners will bear the portion of such transaction  costs based
         upon the percentage of "Against" votes and abstentions.

         On May 5,  1999,  four  limited  partners  in several of the CNL Income
         Funds  filed  a  lawsuit  against  the  general  partners  and  APF  in
         connection  with  the  proposed  Merger  (see  Part II - Item 1.  Legal
         Proceedings).  The general partners and APF believe that the lawsuit is
         without  merit and  intend to defend  vigorously  against  the  claims.
         Because the lawsuit was so recently  filed,  it is premature to further
         comment on the lawsuit at this time.

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

         CNL Income Fund XVII,  Ltd. (the  "Partnership")  is a Florida  limited
partnership that was organized on February 10, 1995, to acquire for cash, either
directly or through  joint  venture  arrangements,  both newly  constructed  and
existing restaurant  properties,  as well as land upon which restaurants were to
be  constructed,  to be leased  primarily  to operators of national and regional
fast-food,  family-style and casual dining restaurant chains (collectively,  the
"Properties").  The leases  generally  are  triple-net  leases,  with the lessee
responsible  for all repairs and  maintenance,  property  taxes,  insurance  and
utilities.  As of March 31, 1999, the  Partnership  owned 30  Properties,  which
included  interests  in four  Properties  owned by joint  ventures  in which the
Partnership  is a  co-venturer  and four  Properties  owned with  affiliates  as
tenants-in-common.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Partnership's  primary  source of capital is cash from  operations
(which includes cash received from tenants,  distributions  from joint ventures,
and interest and other income received, less cash paid for expenses).  Cash from
operations  was $593,112 and $677,692 for the quarters  ended March 31, 1999 and
1998,  respectively.  The decrease in cash from operations for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999,  as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1998, is primarily a
result of changes in income and expenses as described in "Results of Operations"
below and changes in the Partnership's working capital.

         Other  sources and uses of capital  included the  following  during the
quarter ended March 31, 1999.

         In  January  1999,  the  Partnership   entered  into  a  joint  venture
arrangement,  Ocean  Shores  Joint  Venture,  with CNL Income  Fund X, Ltd.,  an
affiliate  of the  general  partners,  to  hold  one  restaurant  property.  The
Partnership  contributed  approximately  $359,500 the joint venture. As of March
31, 1999, the  Partnership  owned a 30.94% interest in the profits and losses of
the joint venture.

         In addition, in January 1999, the Partnership invested in a property in
Zephyrhills,  Florida as  tenants-in-common  with CNL Income Fund IV,  Ltd.,  an
affiliate of the general  partners.  As of March 31, 1999, the  Partnership  had
contributed approximately $168,400 for a 24 percent interest in the Property.

         Currently,  rental income from the Partnership's Properties is invested
in money market accounts or other short-term,  highly liquid investments pending
the  Partnership's  use of such  funds to pay  Partnership  expenses  or to make
distributions  to the partners.  At March 31, 1999, the Partnership had $945,293
invested in such short-term  investments,  as compared to $1,492,343 at December
31, 1998. The decrease in short-term  investments at March 31, 1999 is primarily
due to the fact that in January 1999 the Partnership invested in a joint venture
arrangement,  Ocean  Shores  Joint  Venture,  and in a Property in  Zephyrhills,
Florida as tenants-in-

common with an affiliate of the general partners,  as described above. The funds
remaining  at  March  31,  1999,  after  payment  of  distributions   and  other
liabilities,  will be used  meet the  Partnership's  working  capital  and other
needs.

         Total liabilities of the Partnership,  including distributions payable,
increased  to $731,381 at March 31,  1999,  from  $702,542 at December 31, 1998,
primarily as a result of the Partnership  accruing  transaction costs related to
the  proposed  merger  with CNL  American  Properties  Fund,  Inc.  ("APF"),  as
described   below.  The  general  partners  believe  that  the  Partnership  has
sufficient cash on hand to meet its current working capital needs.

         Based on current  and  anticipated  future  cash from  operations,  the
Partnership  declared  distributions to limited partners of $600,000 for each of
the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.  This represents  distributions  for
each  applicable  quarter of $0.20 per unit. No  distributions  were made to the
general  partners  for the  quarters  ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.  No amounts
distributed  to the limited  partners for the quarters  ended March 31, 1999 and
1998, are required to be or have been treated by the  Partnership as a return of
capital  for  purposes of  calculating  the  limited  partners'  return on their
adjusted  capital  contributions.  The  Partnership  intends to continue to make
distributions  of cash available for  distribution to the limited  partners on a
quarterly basis.

         The Partnership's  investment strategy of acquiring Properties for cash
and  leasing  them under  triple-net  leases to  operators  who  generally  meet
specified financial  standards  minimizes the Partnership's  operating expenses.
The general partners believe that the leases will continue to generate cash flow
in excess of operating expenses.

         The general  partners have the right,  but not the obligation,  to make
additional capital  contributions if they deem it appropriate in connection with
the operations of the Partnership.

         On March 11, 1999, the  Partnership  entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger with APF,  pursuant to which the Partnership  would be merged with and
into a subsidiary of APF (the "Merger").  APF is a real estate  investment trust
whose primary  business is the ownership of  restaurant  properties  leased on a
long-term,  "triple-net" basis to operators of national and regional  restaurant
chains.  APF has agreed to issue shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the "APF Shares"),  as  consideration  for the Merger.  APF has agreed to
issue  3,014,377  APF Shares  which,  for the  purposes  of  valuing  the merger
consideration,  have been valued by APF at $10.00 per APF Share,  the price paid
by APF investors in three previous  public  offerings,  the most recent of which
was  completed  in December  1998.  In order to assist the  general  partners in
evaluating the proposed  merger  consideration,  the general  partners  retained
Valuation  Associates,  a nationally  recognized real estate  appraisal firm, to
appraise the Partnership's  restaurant  property  portfolio.  Based on Valuation
Associates'  appraisal,  the Partnership's  property  portfolio and other assets
were  valued  on a  going  concern  basis  (meaning  the  Partnership  continues
unchanged) at $29,681,344 as of

December 31, 1998. Legg Mason Wood Walker,  Incorporated has rendered a fairness
opinion  that  the APF  Share  consideration,  payable  by  APF,  is fair to the
Partnership  from a financial  point of view.  The APF Shares are expected to be
listed  for  trading  on the New  York  Stock  Exchange  concurrently  with  the
consummation of the Merger, and, therefore, if such listing is accomplished, the
APF  shares  would be  freely  tradable  at the  option  of the  former  limited
partners.  At a special  meeting of the partners  that is expected to be held in
the third  quarter  of 1999,  limited  partners  holding in excess of 50% of the
Partnership's  outstanding limited Partnership interests must approve the Merger
prior to consummation of the transaction. If the limited partners at the special
meeting approve the Merger,  APF will own the Properties and other assets of the
Partnership.  The general partners intend to recommend that the limited partners
of the Partnership approve the Merger. In connection with their  recommendation,
the general  partners  will  solicit the consent of the limited  partners at the
special meeting. If the limited partners reject the Merger, the Partnership will
bear the portion of the  transaction  costs based upon the  percentage  of "For"
votes and the general partners will bear the portion of such  transaction  costs
based upon the percentage of "Against" votes and abstentions.

         On May 5,  1999,  four  limited  partners  in several of the CNL Income
Funds filed a lawsuit  against the general  partners and APF in connection  with
the  proposed  Merger  (see Part II - Item 1. Legal  Proceedings).  The  general
partners and APF believe that the lawsuit is without  merit and intend to defend
vigorously against the claims.  Because the lawsuit was so recently filed, it is
premature to further comment on the lawsuit at this time.

Results of Operations

         During the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the  Partnership and
its consolidated joint venture,  CNL/GC El Cajon Joint Venture, owned and leased
23 wholly owned Properties to operators of fast-food and family-style restaurant
chains.  In connection  therewith,  during the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and
1998, the  Partnership  earned  $629,495 and $715,151,  respectively,  in rental
income from operating leases (net of adjustments to accrued rental income),  and
earned income from direct financing leases from these  Properties.  The decrease
in rental and earned income during the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared
to the quarter ended March 31, 1998, is primarily  attributable to a decrease in
rental income due from the tenants of the  Properties in Aiken,  South  Carolina
and Weatherford,  Texas, as a result of receiving reimbursements of construction
costs from the developer, which reduced the base of the Property on which rental
income is computed.

         During 1998,  the tenant of three Boston  Market  Properties  filed for
bankruptcy and continued  making rental  payments on the  Properties  during the
quarter ended March 31, 1999. In April 1999,  the tenant  rejected,  vacated and
ceased making rental  payments on two of the three leases.  In conjunction  with
the two rejected  leases,  the Partnership  wrote off  approximately  $60,000 of
accrued  rental  income  (non-cash   accounting   adjustment   relating  to  the
straight-lining of future scheduled rent increases over the term of the lease in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) at March 31, 1999. The
Partnership  will  not  recognize  rental  and  earned  income  from  these  two
Properties until new tenants for these Properties are located or

<PAGE>


         Results of Operations - Continued

until the  Properties  are sold and the proceeds from the sale are reinvested in
additional  Properties.  While the  tenant  has not  rejected  or  affirmed  the
remaining  lease,  there can be no assurance that the lease will not be rejected
in the future.  The lost revenues resulting from the rejection of the two leases
and the possible  rejection  of the third lease could have an adverse  effect of
the results of operations of the  Partnership  if the  Partnership  is unable to
re-lease these Properties in a timely manner.

         During the quarter  ended March 31,  1998,  the  Partnership  owned and
leased three Properties with affiliates as tenants-in-common  and two Properties
indirectly  through  joint  venture  arrangements,  and during the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, the Partnership owned and leased four Properties with affiliates
as  tenants-in-common  and four  Properties  indirectly  through  joint  venture
arrangements.  In connection therewith, during the quarters ended March 31, 1999
and 1998, the Partnership earned $40,890 and $34,746, respectively, attributable
to net income earned by these joint  ventures.  The increase is primarily due to
the fact that the Partnership  entered into a joint venture  arrangement,  Ocean
Shores Joint  Venture with CNL Income Fund X, Ltd.,  an affiliate of the general
partners,   and   invested   in  a  Property   in   Zephyrhills,   Florida,   as
tenants-in-common  with CNL Income Fund IV,  Ltd.,  an  affiliate of the general
partners, in January 1999.

         Operating expenses,  including  depreciation and amortization  expense,
were  $189,205  and  $148,240  for the  quarters  ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.  The increase in operating  expenses is primarily  due to the fact
that the  Partnership  incurred  $32,528  in  transaction  costs  related to the
general  partners  retaining  financial  and legal  advisors  to assist  them in
evaluating and  negotiating  the proposed Merger with APF, as described above in
"Liquidity and Capital  Resources." If the limited  partners  reject the Merger,
the Partnership  will bear the portion of the  transaction  costs based upon the
percentage of "For" votes and the general partners will bear the portion of such
transaction costs based upon the percentage of "Against" votes and abstentions.

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

         The Year  2000  problem  concerns  the  inability  of  information  and
non-information  technology  systems to  properly  recognize  and  process  date
sensitive  information beyond January 1, 2000. The Partnership does not have any
information or  non-information  technology  systems.  The general  partners and
affiliates  of the general  partners  provide all services  requiring the use of
information  and  non-information  technology  systems  pursuant to a management
agreement  with  the  Partnership.  The  information  technology  system  of the
affiliates of the general partners  consists of a network of personal  computers
and servers built using  hardware and software from  mainstream  suppliers.  The
non-information technology systems of the affiliates of the general partners are
primarily  facility related and include building  security  systems,  elevators,
fire suppressions,  HVAC, electrical systems and other utilities. The affiliates
of the general partners have no internally  generated programmed software coding
to correct, because substantially all of

<PAGE>


Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure - Continued

the software  utilized by the general  partners and  affiliates  is purchased or
licensed from external providers. The maintenance of non-information  technology
systems at the Partnership's  Properties is the responsibility of the tenants of
the Properties in accordance with the terms of the Partnership's leases.

         In early 1998, the general  partners and affiliates  formed a Year 2000
committee  (the "Y2K Team") for the purpose of  identifying,  understanding  and
addressing the various  issues  associated  with the Year 2000 problem.  The Y2K
Team  consists of the general  partners and members from the  affiliates  of the
general partners, including representatives from senior management,  information
systems,  telecommunications,  legal, office management, accounting and property
management. The Y2K Team's initial step in assessing the Partnership's Year 2000
readiness  consists of  identifying  any systems  that are  date-sensitive  and,
accordingly,  could have potential  Year 2000  problems.  The Y2K Team is in the
process of conducting inspections, interviews and tests to identify which of the
Partnership's systems could have a potential Year 2000 problem.

         The  information  system of the  affiliates of the general  partners is
comprised of hardware  and  software  applications  from  mainstream  suppliers.
Accordingly, the Y2K Team is in the process of contacting the respective vendors
and  manufacturers  to verify the Year 2000  compliance  of their  products.  In
addition,  the Y2K Team has also requested and is evaluating  documentation from
other   companies  with  which  the  Partnership  has  a  material  third  party
relationship,   including  the   Partnership's   tenants,   vendors,   financial
institutions and the  Partnership's  transfer agent. The Partnership  depends on
its  tenants  for  rents  and  cash  flows,   its  financial   institutions  for
availability  of cash and its  transfer  agent to  maintain  and track  investor
information.  The Y2K Team has also  requested and is  evaluating  documentation
from the  non-information  technology systems providers of the affiliates of the
general  partners.  Although the general  partners  continue to receive positive
responses  from the  Companies  with  which  the  Partnership  has  third  party
relationships regarding their Year 2000 compliance,  the general partners cannot
be assured that the  tenants,  financial  institutions,  transfer  agent,  other
vendors and system  providers have adequately  considered the impact of the Year
2000. The general  partners are not able to measure the effect on the operations
of the Partnership of any third party's failure to adequately address the impact
of the Year 2000.

         The general  partners and their  affiliates  have  identified  and have
implemented  upgrades for certain hardware equipment.  In addition,  the general
partners and their  affiliates have  identified  certain  software  applications
which will require upgrades to become Year 2000 compliant.  The general partners
expect all of these upgrades,  as well as any other necessary  remedial measures
on the  information  technology  systems  used in the  business  activities  and
operations of the Partnership,  to be completed by September 30, 1999, although,
the general  partners cannot be assured that the upgrade  solutions  provided by
the vendors have addressed all possible Year 2000 issues.  The general  partners
do not  expect  the  aggregate  cost of the Year 2000  remedial  measures  to be
material to the results of operations of the Partnership.



<PAGE>


Year 2000 Readiness Disclosures - Continued

         The general  partners and affiliates have received  certification  from
the  Partnership's  transfer  agent  of its  Year  2000  compliance.  Due to the
material  relationship of the Partnership  with its transfer agent, the Y2K Team
is evaluating the Year 2000  compliance of the systems of the transfer agent and
expects to have the  evaluation  completed  by September  30, 1999.  Despite the
positive  response  from the transfer  agent and the  evaluation of the transfer
agent's system by the Y2K Team, the general  partners cannot be assured that the
transfer  agent has addressed  all possible Year 2000 issues.  In the event that
the  systems of the  transfer  agent are not Year 2000  compliant,  the  general
partners and their  affiliates  would have to allocate  resources to  internally
perform  the  functions  of the  transfer  agent.  The  general  partners do not
anticipate  that the additional  cost of these  resources  would have a material
impact on the Partnership.

         Based upon the progress the general  partners and affiliates  have made
in  addressing  the Year 2000 issues and their plan and timeline to complete the
compliance  program,  the  general  partners do not  foresee  significant  risks
associated  with Year 2000  compliance  at this time.  The general  partners and
their affiliates plan to address their significant Year 2000 issues prior to the
Partnership  being  affected  by them;  therefore,  they  have not  developed  a
comprehensive  contingency  plan.  However,  if the general  partners  and their
affiliates identify significant risks related to their Year 2000 compliance,  or
if their progress deviates from the anticipated  timeline,  the general partners
and their affiliates will develop  contingency plans as deemed necessary at that
time.

Item 1.       Legal Proceedings.

              On May 5, 1999,  four  limited  partners in several of the CNL
              Income  Funds  filed a  lawsuit,  Jon  Hale,  Mary J.  Hewitt,
              Charles A. Hewitt,  and Gretchen M. Hewitt v. James M. Seneff,
              Jr.,  Robert  A.  Bourne,  CNL  Realty  Corporation,  and  CNL
              American  Properties Fund, Inc., Case No.  CIO-99-0003561,  in
              the  Circuit  Court of the Ninth  Judicial  Circuit  of Orange
              County,  Florida,  alleging that the Messrs. Seneff and Bourne
              and CNL Realty  Corporation,  as general  partners  of the CNL
              Income Funds, breached their fiduciary duties and violated the
              provisions  of  certain  of the CNL  Income  Fund  partnership
              agreements in connection with the proposed  acquisition of the
              CNL  Income   Funds  by  APF.  The   plaintiffs   are  seeking
              unspecified damages and equitable relief. The general partners
              and APF believe  that the lawsuit is without  merit and intend
              to defend vigorously against such claims.  Because the lawsuit
              was so recently  filed,  it is premature to further comment on
              the lawsuit at this time.
