           Quarters and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999


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 nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  may not be
         indicative  of the  results  that may be  expected  for the year ending
         December  31, 2000.  Amounts as of December  31, 1999,  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, 1999.

         Certain  items in the  prior  years'  financial  statements  have  been
         reclassified to conform to 2000 presentation.  These  reclassifications
         had no effect on partners' capital or net income.

           Quarters and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999


2.       Land and Buildings on Operating Leases - Continued:

         In January 2000, the  Partnership  reinvested the net sales proceeds it
         received from the 1999 sale of a property in a Baker's Square  property
         located in Wilmette,  Illinois,  at an  approximate  cost of $1,630,200
         (see Note 3).

         In September 2000, the Partnership  sold its Popeyes property in Warner
         Robins, Georgia for a total of $609,861 and received net sales proceeds
         of approximately  $607,400 resulting in a gain of $17,447 for financial
         reporting  purposes.  This  property  was  originally  acquired  by the
         Partnership  in  October  1996  and had  costs  totaling  approximately
         $563,000,  excluding  acquisition  fees and  miscellaneous  acquisition
         expenses;  therefore the Partnership  sold this property for a total of
         approximately $44,400 in excess of its original purchase price.

         As of September 30, 2000, the Partnership  had  established  provisions
         for losses on land and buildings of $739,055,  for financial  reporting
         purposes  relating to the Boston  Market  properties  in Long Beach and
         Inglewood,  California.  The  tenant  of  these  properties  filed  for
         bankruptcy  in October  1998 and  discontinued  payments of rents.  The
         allowance  represents the difference between the net carrying values of
         the  properties at September 30, 2000 and the estimated net  realizable
         values of the  properties.  The  Partnership  sold the property in Long
         Beach, California, in October 2000. (See Note 4).

3.       Related Party Transactions:

         During the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  the  Partnership
         acquired  a  property  in  Wilmette,  Illinois,  from CNL BB Corp.,  an
         affiliate   of  the  general   partners,   for  a  purchase   price  of
         approximately  $1,630,200  (see Note 2). CNL BB Corp. had purchased and
         temporarily  held  title to the  property  in order to  facilitate  the
         acquisition of the property by the Partnership. The purchase price paid
         by the  Partnership  represented  the costs incurred by CNL BB Corp. to
         acquire and carry the property,  including closing costs. In accordance
         with the  Statement  of Policy of Real  Estate  programs  for the North
         American  Securities  Administrators  Association,  Inc.,  all  income,
         expenses,  profits  and  losses  generated  by or  associated  with the
         property  were treated as belonging  to the  Partnership.  For the nine
         months  ended  September  30,  2000,  other  income of the  Partnership
         includes $2,296 of such amounts.

4.       Subsequent Events:

         In October  2000,  the  Partnership  sold its  property  in Long Beach,
         California to an unrelated  third party and received net sales proceeds
         of approximately  $530,000.  No additional loss was recorded in October
         for financial  reporting  purposes from the sale of the property due to
         the fact that the Partnership had recorded a provision for loss on land
         and building as of September 30, 2000. (See Note 2).

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 September 30, 2000, the Partnership owned 29 Properties,  which
included  interests  in three  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 $1,405,009 and $1,960,792 for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The decrease in cash from operations for the nine
months ended  September 30, 2000, as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1999,  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
nine months ended September 30, 2000.

         In January 2000, the Partnership reinvested approximately $1,630,200 of
the sales proceeds received from the 1999 sale of a Property in a Baker's Square
Property in Wilmette,  Illinois.  The Partnership  acquired the Property from an
affiliate of the general  partners.  The affiliate had purchased and temporarily
held  title to the  Property  in  order to  facilitate  the  acquisition  of the
Property  by the  Partnership.  The  purchase  price  paid  by  the  Partnership
represented  the  costs  incurred  by the  affiliate  to  acquire  and carry the
Property, including closing costs.

         In September 2000, the Partnership  sold its Popeyes Property in Warner
Robins,  Georgia  for a total of $609,861  and  received  net sales  proceeds of
approximately  $607,400,  resulting in a gain of $17,447 for financial reporting
purposes.  This property was originally  acquired by the  Partnership in October
1996 and had costs totaling approximately  $563,000,  excluding acquisition fees
and  miscellaneous  acquisition  expenses;  therefore the Partnership  sold this
properties  for a total of  approximately  $44,400  in  excess  of its  original
purchase price. The Partnership will distribute amounts sufficient to enable the
limited  partners  to pay  federal and state  income  taxes,  if any (at a level
reasonably assumed by the general partners), resulting from the sale.

         In October  2000,  the  Partnership  sold its  Property  in Long Beach,
California,  and  received net sales  proceeds of  approximately  $530,000.  The
Partnership intends to reinvest the net sales proceeds in an additional Property
or to pay distributions and other Partnership liabilities.

         Currently,  rental income from the Partnership's Properties and any net
sales  proceeds  from  the  sale of  Properties,  pending  the  reinvestment  in
additional   Properties,   are  invested  in  money  market  accounts  or  other
short-term,  highly  liquid  investments,  such as demand  deposit  accounts  at
commercial  banks,  money market accounts and  certificates of deposit 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 September 30,
2000, the Partnership had $1,226,659 invested in such short-term investments, as
compared to  $2,644,465  at  December  31,  1999.  The  decrease  in  short-term
investments  at September 30, 2000 was primarily due to the fact that in January
2000, the Partnership invested in a Property in Wilmette, Illinois, as described
above. The funds remaining at September 30, 2000, after payment of distributions
for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, and other liabilities, will be used to
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.

         Total liabilities of the Partnership,  including distributions payable,
decreased to $847,086 at September 30, 2000, from $892,333 at December 31, 1999.
The decrease in liabilities was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts
payable at September 30, 2000,  as compared to December 31, 1999.  This decrease
was  partially  offset by an  increase  in  amounts  due to  related  parties at
September  30,  2000,  as compared to December 31,  1999.  The general  partners
believe that the  Partnership  has  sufficient  cash on hand to meet its current
working capital needs.

         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 current and anticipated  future cash from  operations,  the Partnership
declared  distributions  to limited  partners of $1,800,000 for each of the nine
months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999  ($600,000  for each of the quarters
ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999).  This  represents  distributions  for each
applicable  nine  months of $0.60 per unit  ($0.20 per unit for each  applicable
quarter).  No  distributions  were made to the general partners for the quarters
and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. No amounts distributed to the
limited  partners for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  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.

Long Term Liquidity

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

Results of Operations

         During the nine months ended  September 30, 1999, the  Partnership  and
its consolidated joint venture,  CNL/GC El Cajon Joint Venture, owned and leased
23 wholly owned  Properties  (including  one Property which was sold in 1999) to
operators of fast-food and  family-style  restaurant  chains.  During 1999,  the
Partnership liquidated its interest in CNL/GC El Cajon Joint Venture. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Partnership owned and leased 23 wholly
owned Properties (including one Property which was sold in 2000) to operators of
fast-food and family-style  restaurant chains. In connection  therewith,  during
the nine months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999,  the  Partnership  earned
$1,548,751 and $1,766,569,  respectively, in rental income from operating leases
(net of  adjustments  to accrued  rental  income) and earned  income from direct
financing  leases  from these  Properties,  $513,263  and  $477,812 of which was
earned during the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         The decrease in rental and earned  income  during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999, was
partially  attributable  to the fact  that in April  1999,  the  tenant of three
Boston Market Properties filed for bankruptcy,  rejected the leases, vacated the
Properties  and  discontinued  making  rental  payments  for  two of  the  three
Properties  it leased.  As a result of the lease  rejections,  rental and earned
income  decreased by  approximately  $55,500 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000.  The decrease in rental and earned income was partially  offset by the
fact that during the nine months ended  September 30, 1999, in conjunction  with
the two rejected  leases,  the  Partnership  reversed  approximately  $60,000 of
accrued rental income.  The accrued rental income was the accumulated  amount of
non-cash accounting adjustments previously recorded in order to recognize future
scheduled rent increases as income evenly over the terms of the leases  relating
to the two rejected leases. No reversal of accrued rental income occurred during
the nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  related to this  Property.  In July
2000, the lease relating to the third Property in Houston,  Texas,  was rejected
resulting  in a decrease of $14,600 and $21,600 of rental and earned  income for
the  quarter  and  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  respectively.  In
connection  therewith,  during the nine months ended  September  30,  2000,  the
Partnership reversed  approximately $35,100 in accrued rental income relating to
this Property.  The Partnership will not recognize rental and earned income from
these three Properties until new tenants are located or until the Properties are
sold and the proceeds from the sales are  reinvested  in additional  Properties.
The lost revenues  resulting from the rejection of the three leases has and will
continue  to  have  an  adverse  effect  of the  results  of  operations  of the
Partnership  until the  Partnership  is able to re-lease these  Properties.  The
Partnership  is currently  seeking  either new tenants or  purchasers  for these
Properties.

         Rental and earned  income also  decreased  during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, as compared to the nine months ended  September 30, 1999, as
a result of the  Partnership  increasing the allowance for doubtful  accounts by
approximately  $70,000 and  $97,600,  during the  quarter and nine months  ended
September  30,  2000,  respectively,  for past due rental  amounts  relating  to
Properties in Mesquite,  Nevada, and Kentwood,  Michigan, in accordance with the
Partnership's policy. During nine months ended September 30, 2000, the tenant of
the  Property  in  Kentwood,  Michigan  defaulted  under the terms of its lease,
discontinued  operations  of  the  restaurant  and  discontinued  making  rental
payments.  As a result,  the  Partnership  reversed  approximately  $106,400  of
accrued  rental income  relating to this  Property  during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. The general  partners will continue to pursue  collection of
past due rental  amounts  relating to these  Properties  and will recognize such
amounts as income if collected.

         Rental  and  earned  income  decreased  by  approximately  $79,700  and
$238,300   during  the  quarter  and  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,
respectively, due to the fact that in 1999, the Partnership's consolidated joint
venture,  CNL/GC El Cajon Joint  Venture,  sold its Property and  dissolved  the
joint venture.  In conjunction  with the sale of the Property,  the  Partnership
reversed  approximately $161,600 of accrued rental income during the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1999.

         Rental  and  earned  income  increased  by  approximately  $43,800  and
$117,400   during  the  quarter  and  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,
respectively,  due to  the  fact  that  during  January  2000,  the  Partnership
reinvested  the net sales  proceeds  received from the sale of a Property,  in a
Property in Wilmette, Illinois, as described above in "Capital Resources."

         During  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999,  the
Partnership   owned   and   leased   three   Properties   with   affiliates   as
tenants-in-common   and  four  Properties   indirectly   through  joint  venture
arrangements.  In connection  therewith,  during the nine months ended September
30, 2000 and 1999, the Partnership  earned $129,326 and $134,742,  respectively,
attributable to net income earned by these joint  ventures,  $38,899 and $47,058
of which was earned  during the  quarters  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999,
respectively.  The  decrease in net income  earned by these joint  ventures  was
attributable  to the fact that one of the joint  ventures  established a reserve
for doubtful  accounts for past due amounts in accordance with the Partnership's
policy.  The joint venture will pursue  collection of these past due amounts and
will recognize such amounts as income when collected.

         Operating expenses,  including  depreciation and amortization  expense,
were  $576,074 and $443,284  for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 and
1999,  respectively,  of which  $195,672  and  $147,805  were  incurred  for the
quarters  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The  increase in
operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was partially
due to the fact that  during the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  the
Partnership  incurred  $23,382  in  transaction  costs  related  to the  general
partners retaining financial and legal advisors to assist them in evaluating and
negotiating the subsequently  terminated merger of the Partnership with and into
CNL American Properties Fund, Inc. ("APF").

         Additionally, the increase in operating expenses during the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the quarter and nine months
ended  September  30,  1999,  was  partially  attributable  to  an  increase  in
insurance, legal fees, maintenance and real estate taxes incurred as a result of
the  facts  that (i) the  tenant of three  Boston  Market  Properties  filed for
bankruptcy, rejected the leases and discontinued making rental payments and (ii)
the tenant of the  Property  in  Kentwood,  Michigan  vacated the  Property  and
discontinued making rental payments to the Partnership, each as described above.
The  Partnership  will  continue  to  incur  such  expenses  relating  to  these
Properties until replacement tenants or purchasers are located.  The Partnership
is  currently  seeking  either  replacement  tenants  or  purchasers  for  these
Properties.  In addition,  operating expenses were higher during the quarter and
nine months  ended  September  30,  2000 due to an  increase  in  administrative
expenses for servicing the Partnership and its Properties.

         As described above in "Capital  Resources," during the quarter and nine
months ended  September 30, 2000,  the  Partnership  sold the Property in Warner
Robins,  Georgia,  resulting  in a  gain  of  $17,447  for  financial  reporting
purposes.  No  Properties  were sold during the  quarter  and nine months  ended
September 30, 1999.

         During the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  the  Partnership
recorded  provisions  for losses on land and building of $739,055 for  financial
reporting  purposes  relating to the Boston Market  Properties in Long Beach and
Inglewood,  California.  The tenant of these  Properties filed for bankruptcy in
October 1998 and  discontinued  payment of rents. The allowance at September 30,
2000  represented  the difference  between the carrying values of the Properties
and the estimated net  realizable  values for the Properties as of such date. In
October 2000, the Partnership  sold the Property in Long Beach,  California,  as
described  above in "Capital  Resources".  No  additional  loss was  recorded in
October as a result of the sale of the  Property in Long Beach,  California  for
financial reporting purposes due to the fact that the Partnership had recorded a
provision for loss on land and building as of September 30, 2000.
