                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              Quarters and Six Months Ended June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 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 own and lease one  restaurant
         property.  The Partnership  contributed  approximately  $359,500 to the
         joint  venture.  As of June 30, 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.

         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 June 30, 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:

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").  Subsequent to entering into the Merger agreement,  the
         general  partners  received a number of comments  from brokers who sold
         the Partnership's units concerning the loss of passive income treatment
         in the event the  Partnership  merged  with APF.  On June 3, 1999,  the
         general partners, on behalf of the Partnership,  and APF agreed that it
         would be in the best interests of the  Partnership and APF that APF not
         attempt to acquire the Partnership in the acquisition.  Notwithstanding
         this agreement,  representatives of APF stated that they would attempt,
         depending on market  conditions,  seek to acquire the Partnership after
         APF was  listed on the New York  Stock  Exchange.  The  representatives
         further  noted  that they  would be  willing  to  structure  any future
         acquisition  in a manner  so that the  limited  partners  could  retain
         passive income  treatment most likely by offering the limited  partners
         an exchange offer whereby  limited  partners would exchange their units
         of limited partnership interest for APF shares. Therefore in June 1999,
         APF entered into a termination  agreement with the general  partners of
         the Partnership.

4.       Contingencies:

         On May 11,  1999,  four  limited  partners in several of the CNL Income
         Funds  served  a  lawsuit  against  the  general  partners  and  APF in
         connection  with the proposed  Merger.  On July 8, 1999, the plaintiffs
         amended  the  complaint  to add three  additional  limited  partners as
         plaintiffs.  Additionally,  on June 22,  1999,  a  limited  partner  in
         certain of the CNL Income  Funds  served a lawsuit  against the general
         partners, APF and CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. and certain of its affiliates
         in connection with the proposed  Merger.  The general  partners and APF
         believe  that the  lawsuits  are  without  merit  and  intend to defend
         vigorously against the claims. See Part II - Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

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 June 30, 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.

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 $1,230,304 and $1,274,084 for the six months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively.  The decrease in cash from operations for the six months
ended June 30,  1999,  as compared to the six months  ended June 30,  1998,  was
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 and six months ended June 30, 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 own and lease one restaurant property. The
Partnership contributed  approximately $359,500 to the joint venture. As of June
30, 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 June 30, 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 such as
demand deposits at commercial banks,  certificates of deposit,  and money market
accounts with less than a 30-day maturity date, pending the Partnership's use of
such funds to pay Partnership expenses or to make distributions to the partners.
At June 30,  1999,  the  Partnership  had $970,200  invested in such  short-term
investments,  as compared to  $1,492,343  at December 31, 1998.  The decrease in
short-term  investments  at June 30, 1999 was  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 June 30, 1999, after payment of distributions  and
other liabilities, will be used meet the Partnership's working capital and other
needs.

Short-Term Liquidity

         The Partnership's  short-term liquidity  requirements consist primarily
of the operating expenses of the Partnership.

         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.

         The Partnership  generally  distributes cash from operations  remaining
after the payment of operating  expenses of the Partnership,  to the extent that
the general partners  determine that such funds are available for  distribution.
Based on cash from operations, the Partnership declared distributions to limited
partners of  $1,200,000  for each of the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
($600,000  for  each of the  quarters  ended  June  30,  1999  and  1998).  This
represents distributions for each applicable six months of $0.40 per unit ($0.20
per unit for each applicable quarter). No distributions were made to the general
partners for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. No amounts
distributed  to the limited  partners for the six months ended June 30, 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.

         Total liabilities of the Partnership,  including distributions payable,
increased  to $771,596 at June 30,  1999,  from  $702,542 at December  31, 1998,
primarily as a result of the Partnership  receiving  approximately  $84,500 in a
security deposit relating to one of the three Boston Market Properties which was
not rejected in  conjunction  with the tenant filing for bankruptcy as described
below  in  "Results  of  Operations."  The  general  partners  believe  that the
Partnership  has  sufficient  cash on hand to meet its current  working  capital
needs.

Long-Term Liquidity

         The  Partnership  has no long-term  debt or other  long-term  liquidity
requirements.

Results of Operations

         During the six months ended June 30, 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 with the Properties,  during the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, the Partnership  earned $1,288,757 and $1,416,903,  respectively,
in rental income from  operating  leases (net of  adjustments  to accrued rental
income),  and earned income from direct financing leases from these  Properties,
$659,262  and $701,752 of which was earned  during the  quarters  ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in rental and earned income during the
quarter and six months ended June 30,  1999,  as compared to the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1998, was partially  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 cost of the Property on which rental
income is computed.

         During 1998,  the tenant of three Boston  Market  Properties  filed for
bankruptcy,  but continued  making rental payments on the  Properties.  In April
1999, the tenant  rejected,  vacated and ceased making rental payments on two of
the three  leases  resulting  in a  decrease  in  rental  and  earned  income of
approximately  $38,700 during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999. In
addition,  the  Partnership  wrote off  approximately  $59,700 of accrued rental
income (non-cash accounting adjustment relating to the straight-lining of future
scheduled  rent  increases  over the  terms of the  leases  in  accordance  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles)  relating to the two rejected leases
during the six months ended June 30, 1999.  The general  partners are  currently
seeking  either  new  tenants  or  purchasers  for  these  two  Properties.  The
Partnership  will  not  recognize  rental  and  earned  income  from  these  two
Properties  until new  tenants  for these  Properties  are  located or 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 six months  ended June 30,  1999 and 1998,  the  Partnership
also  earned  $41,174  and $25,539 in  interest  and other  income,  $61,349 and
$14,864 of which was earned  during the  quarters  ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.  The increase in interest and other income for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1999 was  primarily  due to the fact that the  Partnership
reversed  $46,667 and $14,139 in  transaction  costs  during the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1999,  respectively.  These  represented  amounts that had
previously been expensed related to the general partners retaining financial and
legal advisors to assist them in evaluating and  negotiating the proposed Merger
with APF, as described  below. The general partners and APF agreed that it would
be in the  best  interest  of the  Partnership  that it not be  acquired  in the
acquisition  due  to  the  limited  partners'  loss  of  passive  income  in the
acquisition,  as described below. As a result,  the general partners have agreed
to reimburse the Partnership for these costs.

         During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 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
and six months  ended  June 30,  1999,  the  Partnership  owned and leased  four
Properties with affiliates as tenants-in-common  and three Properties indirectly
through joint venture  arrangements.  In  connection  therewith,  during the six
months ended June 1999 and 1998,  the  Partnership  earned  $87,684 and $69,785,
respectively, $46,794 and $35,039 of which were earned during the quarters ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase was 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  $295,479  and  $270,370  for the six months  ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively,  of which  $138,802  and $122,130  were  incurred for the quarters
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The increase in operating expenses
for the quarter and six months ended June 30,  1999,  as compared to the quarter
and six  months  ended  June  30,  1998,  was  partially  due to the  fact  that
depreciation  expense was lower during the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1998,  as a result of an  adjustment  to  depreciation  expense  relating to the
reimbursement   from  the  developer  of  construction  costs  relating  to  the
Properties in Aiken, South Carolina and Weatherford,  Texas, as described above,
which reduced the depreciable base of each Property.

         Additionally,  operating  expenses increased during the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1999,  due to an increase in insurance and real estate tax
expense  incurred  in  connection  with the fact that the  tenant of two  Boston
Market  Properties who had filed for bankruptcy,  rejected the leases and ceased
making rental payments  relating to these two Properties.  The Partnership  will
continue to incur  certain  expenses  such as real estate  taxes,  insurance and
maintenance relating to these Properties until replacement tenants or purchasers
are located.  The Partnership is currently seeking either replacement tenants or
purchasers for these Properties.

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").
Subsequent to entering into the Merger agreement,  the general partners received
a number of comments from brokers who sold the  Partnership's  units  concerning
the loss of passive income  treatment in the event the  Partnership  merged with
APF. On June 3, 1999, the general  partners,  on behalf of the Partnership,  and
APF agreed that it would be in the best  interests  of the  Partnership  and APF
that  APF  not  attempt  to  acquire  the   Partnership   in  the   acquisition.
Notwithstanding  this agreement,  representatives  of APF stated that they would
attempt,  depending on market conditions,  seek to acquire the Partnership after
APF was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The representatives further noted
that they would be willing to structure  any future  acquisition  in a manner so
that the limited  partners could retain passive income  treatment most likely by
offering the limited  partners an exchange offer whereby limited  partners would
exchange their units of limited partnership  interest for APF shares.  Therefore
in June 1999, APF entered into a termination agreement with the general partners
of the Partnership.

         On May 11,  1999,  four  limited  partners in several of the CNL Income
Funds served a lawsuit  against the general  partners and APF in connection with
the proposed  Merger.  On July 8, 1999, the plaintiffs  amended the complaint to
add three additional limited partners as plaintiffs.  Additionally,  on June 22,
1999,  a limited  partner in certain  of the CNL Income  Funds  served a lawsuit
against the general partners, APF and CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. and certain of its
affiliates in connection with the proposed Merger.  The general partners and APF
believe  that the  lawsuits  are without  merit and intend to defend  vigorously
against the claims. See Part II - Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

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.  As  of  June  30,  1999  the
Partnership did not have any information or non-information  technology systems.
The general  partners  and  certain of the  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 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
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  certain of 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 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  that 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.

         The general partners and their  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  will 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 their 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,  we  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.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.     Legal Proceedings.

            On May 11, 1999,  four limited  partners in several CNL Income Funds
            served a derivative  and purported  class action lawsuit filed April
            22, 1999 against the general  partners and APF in the Circuit  Court
            of the Ninth Judicial  Circuit of Orange County,  Florida,  alleging
            that the  general  partners  breached  their  fiduciary  duties  and
            violated  provisions  of certain of the CNL Income Fund  partnership
            agreements in connection  with the proposed  Merger.  The plaintiffs
            are seeking  unspecified  damages and equitable  relief.  On July 8,
            1999, the plaintiffs  filed an amended  complaint which, in addition
            to naming  three  additional  plaintiffs,  includes  allegations  of
            aiding and  abetting  and  conspiring  to breach  fiduciary  duties,
            negligence  and breach of duty of good faith against  certain of the
            defendants and seeks additional  equitable relief.  As amended,  the
            caption of the case is Jon Hale, Mary J. Hewitt,  Charles A. Hewitt,
            Gretchen M. Hewitt Bernard J. Schulte,  Edward M. and Margaret Berol
            Trust,  and Vicky Berol v. James M. Seneff,  Jr.,  Robert A. Bourne,
            CNL Realty Corporation, and CNL American Properties Fund, Inc., Case
            No. CIO-99-0003561.

            On June 22,  1999,  a limited  partner of several  CNL Income  Funds
            served a purported class action lawsuit filed April 29, 1999 against
            the general partners and APF, Ira Gaines, individually and on behalf
            of a class of persons similarly situated, v. CNL American Properties
            Fund,  Inc.,  James M. Seneff,  Jr.,  Robert A.  Bourne,  CNL Realty
            Corporation,  CNL Fund  Advisors,  Inc.,  CNL Financial  Corporation
            a/k/a CNL  Financial  Corp.,  CNL Financial  Services,  Inc. and CNL
            Group, Inc., Case NO. CIO-99-3796, in the Circuit Court of the Ninth
            Judicial  Circuit  of  Orange  County,  Florida,  alleging  that the
            general partners  breached their fiduciary duties and that APF aided
            and abetted their breach of fiduciary  duties in connection with the
            proposed Merger.  The plaintiff is seeking  unspecified  damages and
            equitable relief.
