(A Florida Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Quarters Ended March 31, 2003 and 2002


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 the general partners, necessary to a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating
results for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, may not be indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.
Amounts as of December 31, 2002, 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, 2002.

In January 2003, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" to expand upon and
strengthen existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company
should include the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity
in its financial statements. To improve financial reporting by
companies involved with variable interest entities (more commonly
referred to as special-purpose entities or off-balance sheet
structures), FIN 46 requires that a variable interest entity be
consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority risk
of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to
receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. Prior to
FIN 46, a company generally included another entity in its consolidated
financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting
interests. Consolidation of variable interest entities will provide
more complete information about the resources, obligations, risks and
opportunities of the consolidated company. The consolidation
requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities
created after January 31, 2003, and to older entities, in the first
fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The
general partners believe adoption of this standard may result in either
consolidation or additional disclosure requirements with respect to the
Partnership's unconsolidated joint ventures or properties held with
affiliates of the general partners as tenants-in-common, which are
currently accounted for under the equity method. However, such
consolidation is not expected to significantly impact the Partnership's
results of operations.

2. Reclassification:

Certain items in the prior year's financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to 2003 presentation. These reclassifications
had no effect on total partners' capital or net income.

3. Concentration of Credit Risk:

The following schedule presents total rental revenues from individual
lessees, each representing more than ten percent of rental revenues
(including the Partnership's share of rental revenues from the joint
ventures and the properties held as tenants-in-common with affiliates
of the general partners), for each of the quarters ended March 31:

In addition, the following schedule presents total rental revenues from

The information denoted by N/A indicates that for each period
presented, the tenant or group of affiliated tenants, and the chain did
not represent more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental
revenues.

Although the Partnership's properties have some geographical diversity
in the United States and the Partnership's lessees operate a variety of
restaurant concepts, default by any of these lessees or restaurant
chains could significantly impact the results of operations of the
Partnership if the Partnership is not able to re-lease the properties
in a timely manner.





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. The Partnership owned 16 and 17 Properties directly as of March 31,
2003 and 2002, respectively. The Partnership owned eleven and nine Properties
indirectly through joint venture or tenancy in common arrangements as of March
31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Capital Resources

Cash from operating activities was $487,669 and $561,269 for the
quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in cash from
operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, as compared to the
quarter ended March 31, 2003, was a result of changes in the Partnership's
working capital and changes in income and expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership decreased to $717,408 at
March 31, 2003, from $829,739 at December 31, 2002. The funds remaining at March
31, 2003, will be used to pay distributions and other liabilities of the
Partnership.

Short-Term Liquidity

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

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

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

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 $600,000 for each of the quarters
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. 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, 2003 and 2002. No amounts distributed to the
limited partners for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, 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 $728,191 at March 31, 2003, from $725,459 at December 31, 2002.
Total liabilities at March 31, 2003, to the extent they exceed cash and cash
equivalents, will be paid from anticipated future cash from operations, or in
the event the general partners elect to make additional capital contributions or
loans, from the future general partners' contributions or loans.

Long Term Liquidity

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


Results of Operations

Total rental revenues were $405,856 for the quarter ended March 31,
2003 as compared to $436,474 in the same period in 2002. In December 2002,
AmeriKing Corporation, the parent company to National Restaurant Enterprises,
Inc. which is the tenant of the Properties in Harvey, Lyons and Chicago Ridge,
Illinois, filed for bankruptcy protection. The tenant has continued paying rent
for each of these Properties; however, during the quarter ended March 31, 2003,
the Partnership granted a one-time rent reduction of approximately $24,800 to
the tenant of these Properties. While the tenant has neither rejected nor
affirmed the leases, there can be no assurance that they will not be rejected in
the future. The lost revenues that would result if the tenant rejects this lease
will have an adverse effect on the results of operations of the Partnership if
the Partnership is unable to lease the Property in a timely manner.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership
earned $129,034 and $76,861, respectively, attributable to net income earned by
joint ventures. The increase in net income earned by joint ventures during the
quarter ended March 31, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002, was
primarily attributable to the Partnership investing during 2002 the majority of
the net proceeds from the sales of the Properties in Mesquite, Nevada and
Wilmette, Illinois in Katy Joint Venture and a tenancy in common arrangement for
a Property in Kenosha, Wisconsin, with affiliates of the general partners and
Florida limited partnerships.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, Ocean Shores Joint
Venture, in which the Partnership owns an approximate 31% interest, did not
record rental revenues because the tenant of the Property owned by this joint
venture experienced financial difficulties and vacated the Property in April
2001. In March 2003, the joint venture executed a termination of the tenant's
lease rights, and the tenant surrendered the premises. The joint venture is
currently seeking a replacement tenant. The lost revenues resulting from the
vacant Property will continue to have an adverse effect on the equity in
earnings of joint ventures until the joint venture re-leases the Property.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, three lessees of the
Partnership, Golden Corral Corporation, Carrols Corporation and Texas Taco
Cabana, LP (which are affiliated entities under common control) (hereinafter
referred as "Carrols Corporation."), and RTM Indianapolis, Inc. and RTM, and
Southwest Texas, Inc. (which are affiliated entities under common control)
(hereinafter referred as "RTM, Inc."), each contributed more than ten percent of
the Partnership's total rental revenues (including rental revenues from the
Partnership's share of rental income from Properties owned by joint ventures and
Properties owned with separate affiliates of the general partners as
tenants-in-common). It is anticipated that based on the minimum rental payments
required by the leases, these three lessees each will continue to contribute
more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental revenues. In addition,
three restaurant chains, Golden Corral, Taco Cabana, and Arby's, each accounted
for more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental revenues during the
quarter ended March 31, 2003 (including rental revenues from the Partnership's
share of rental income from Properties owned by joint ventures and Properties
owned with separate affiliates of the general partners as tenants-in-common). It
is anticipated that each of these three restaurant chains will continue to
contribute more than ten percent of the Partnership's rental revenues to which
the Partnership is entitled under the terms of the leases. Any failure of these
lessees or restaurant chains will a material adverse affect on the Partnership's
cash flow and results of operations if the Partnership is not able to re-lease
or sell the Properties in a timely manner.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership also
earned $305 and $16,784, respectively, in interest and other income. During the
quarter ended March 31 2002, interest and other income were higher as compared
to the same period in 2003 due to the Partnership recognizing as income the
collection of unreimbursed property expenses of approximately $11,200, which
were written-off in previous years.

Operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense,
were $170,756 and $156,243 for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The increase in operating expenses during 2003 was partially due
to an increase in depreciation expense as a result of a Property acquisition and
the reclassification of the lease relating to the Property in Muncie, Indiana
from direct financing leases to operating leases due to an amendment to the
lease. The increase in operating expenses during the quarter ended March 31,
2003 was also partially due to an increase in the amount of state tax expense
relating to several states in which the Partnership conducts business. The
increase in operating expenses during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, was
partially offset by a decrease in the costs incurred for administrative expenses
for servicing the Partnership and its Properties.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership identified and
sold three Properties that were classified as Discontinued Operations in the
accompanying financial statements. The Partnership recognized net rental income
(rental revenues less property expenses) of $52,727 during the quarter ended
March 31, 2002 relating to these Properties. The Partnership sold the Property
in Mesquite, Nevada in March 2002, and the Properties in Knoxville, Tennessee
and Wilmette, Illinois, after the first quarter of 2002. Because the Partnership
recorded provisions for write-down of assets for the Property on Mesquite,
Nevada in previous years, no gain or loss was recognized in March 2002 relating
to this sale.

In January 2003, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" to expand upon and strengthen
existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include the
assets, liabilities and activities of another entity in its financial
statements. To improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable
interest entities (more commonly referred to as special-purpose entities or
off-balance sheet structures), FIN 46 requires that a variable interest entity
be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority risk of
loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a
majority of the entity's residual returns or both. Prior to FIN 46, a company
generally included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only
if it controlled the entity through voting interests. Consolidation of variable
interest entities will provide more complete information about the resources,
obligations, risks and opportunities of the consolidated company. The
consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest
entities created after January 31, 2003, and to older entities, in the first
fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The general
partners believe adoption of this standard may result in either consolidation or
additional disclosure requirements with respect to the Partnership's
unconsolidated joint ventures or properties held with affiliates of the general
partners as tenants-in-common, which are currently accounted for under the
equity method. However, such consolidation is not expected to significantly
impact the Partnership's results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The general partners maintain a set of disclosure controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the
Partnership's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. The principal executive
and financial officers of the corporate general partner have evaluated the
Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days prior to the
filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such
disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Subsequent to the above evaluation, there were no significant changes
in internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these
controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.
