PART I

Item 1. Business

CNL Income Fund XVII, Ltd. (the "Registrant" or the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership which was organized pursuant to the laws of the State of
Florida on February 10, 1995. The general partners of the Partnership are Robert
A. Bourne, James M. Seneff, Jr. and CNL Realty Corporation, a Florida
corporation (the "General Partners"). Beginning on September 2, 1995, the
Partnership offered for sale up to $30,000,000 of limited partnership interests
(the "Units") (3,000,000 Units at $10 per Unit) pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, effective
August 11, 1995. The offering terminated on September 19, 1996, at which date
the maximum offering proceeds of $30,000,000 had been received from investors
who were admitted to the Partnership as limited partners (the "Limited
Partners").

The Partnership was organized to acquire both newly constructed and
existing restaurant properties, as well as properties upon which restaurants
were to be constructed (the "Properties"), which are leased primarily to
operators of national and regional fast-food, family-style and casual dining
restaurant chains (the "Restaurant Chains"). Net proceeds to the Partnership
from its offering of Units, after deduction of organizational and offering
expenses, totalled $26,400,000 and were used as of December 31, 1998, to acquire
29 Properties, pay acquisition fees totalling $1,350,000 and to establish a
working capital reserve for Partnership purposes. The 29 Properties included
four Properties owned by joint ventures in which the Partnership is a
co-venturer and three Properties owned with affiliates of the General Partners
as tenants-in-common.

As of December 31, 2000, the Partnership owned 28 Properties, either
directly or indirectly through joint venture or tenancy in common arrangements.
During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership reinvested the net
sales proceeds from the 2000 sale of the Properties in Warner Robins, Georgia,
and Long Beach, California along with a portion of the net sales proceeds
received from the 2001 sale of the Property in Houston, Texas, into a joint
venture arrangement, CNL VII & XVII Lincoln Joint Venture, with an affiliate of
the General Partners to purchase and hold one property in Lincoln, Nebraska. In
addition, during 2001, the Partnership sold its Properties in Kentwood, Missouri
and El Dorado, California, and reinvested a portion of these net sales proceeds
in a Property in Austin, Texas, and in a Property in Waldorf, Maryland, as
tenants-in-common, with affiliates of the General Partners. During 2001, the
Partnership distributed to the Limited Partners, a portion of the net sales
proceeds received from the sale of the Property in Inglewood, California and a
portion of the net sales proceeds received from the sale of the Property in
Houston, Texas. During 2002, the Partnership sold its Properties in Mesquite,
Nevada; Knoxville, Tennessee; and Wilmette, Illinois, and reinvested the
majority of the sales proceeds in a Property in Houston Texas; a joint venture
arrangement, Katy Joint Venture, with an affiliate of the General Partners,
which holds one Property in Katy, Texas; and in a Property in Kenosha,
Wisconsin, as tenants-in-common, with an affiliate of the General Partners. Also
during 2002, Mansfield Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owns a 21%
interest, sold its Property in Mansfield, Texas and reinvested the proceeds in a
Property in Arlington, Texas. During 2003, the Partnership and its joint venture
partner liquidated CNL Ocean Shores Joint Venture and the Partnership received
its pro rata share of the liquidation proceeds. The Partnership intends to
reinvest the liquidation proceeds in an additional Property and also pay
liabilities of the Partnership.

As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership owned 26 Properties. The 26
Properties include four Properties owned by joint ventures in which the
Partnership is a co-venturer and six Properties owned with affiliates as
tenants-in-common. The Partnership generally leases the Properties on a
triple-net basis with the lessees responsible for all repairs and maintenance,
property taxes, insurance and utilities.

The Partnership holds its Properties until the General Partners
determine that the sale or other disposition of the Properties is advantageous
in view of the Partnership's investment objectives. In deciding whether to sell
Properties, the General Partners consider factors such as potential capital
appreciation, net cash flow and federal income taxes. Certain lessees also have
been granted options to purchase Properties, generally at the Property's then
fair market value after a specified portion of the lease term has elapsed. The
Partnership has no obligation to sell all or any portion of a Property at any
particular time, except as may be required under property purchase options
granted to certain lessees.





Leases

Although there are variations in the specific terms of the leases, the
following is a summarized description of the general structure of the
Partnership's leases. The leases of the Properties provide for initial terms
ranging from 10 to 20 years (the average being 18 years) and expire between 2011
and 2020. The majority of the leases are on a triple-net basis, with the lessees
responsible for all repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and
utilities. The leases of the Properties provide for minimum base annual rental
payments (payable in monthly installments) ranging from approximately $63,000 to
$246,400. The majority of the leases provide for percentage rent, based on sales
in excess of a specified amount. In addition, the majority of the leases provide
that, commencing in specified lease years (generally the sixth lease year), the
annual base rent required under the terms of the lease will increase.

Generally, the leases of the Properties provide for two to four
successive five-year renewal options subject to the same terms and conditions as
the initial lease. Lessees of 21 of the Partnership's 26 Properties also have
been granted options to purchase Properties at the Property's then fair market
value after a specified portion of the lease term has elapsed. Fair market value
will be determined through an appraisal by an independent appraisal firm. Under
the terms of certain leases, the option purchase price may equal the
Partnership's original cost to purchase the Property (including acquisition
costs), plus a specified percentage from the date of the lease or a specified
percentage of the Partnership's purchase price, if that amount is greater than
the Property's fair market value at the time the purchase option is exercised.

The leases generally provide that, in the event the Partnership wishes
to sell the Property subject to the terms of the lease, the Partnership first
must offer the lessee the right to purchase the Property on the same terms and
conditions, and for the same price, as any offer which the Partnership has
received for the sale of the Property.

In December 2002, AmeriKing Corporation, the parent company to National
Restaurant Enterprises, Inc., which was the tenant of the Properties in Harvey,
Lyons, and Chicago Ridge Illinois, filed for bankruptcy protection. As a result
of the bankruptcy, the leases relating to the Properties in Harvey and Chicago
Ridge, Illinois were amended during 2003 to provide for a reduction in rents. In
December 2003, the leases relating to all three Properties were assigned to and
assumed by a new tenant. As a result of the assignment and assumption, the rents
due under the leases were reduced. The Partnership does not believe these
reduced rents will have a material adverse effect on the operating results of
the Partnership.

Major Tenants

During the year ended December 31, 2003, four lessees of the
Partnership, Golden Corral Corporation, National Restaurant Enterprises, Inc.,
Taco Cabana, LP and Carrols Corporation (which are affiliated entities under
common control) (hereinafter referred to as "Carrols Corporation") and RTM
Indianapolis, Inc. and RTM Southwest Texas, Inc. (which are affiliated entities
under common control) (hereinafter referred to as "RTM, Inc."), each contributed
more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental revenues (including
total rental revenues form 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). As of December 31, 2003, Golden
Corral Corporation and Carrols Corporation were each the lessee under leases
relating to four restaurants, and RTM, Inc. was the lessee under leases relating
to three restaurants. It is anticipated that based on the minimum rental
payments required by the leases, Golden Corral Corporation, Carrols Corporation
and RTM, Inc. each will continue to contribute more than ten percent of the
Partnership's total rental revenues in 2004. In addition, four Restaurant
Chains, Golden Corral Buffet and Grill ("Golden Corral"), Burger King, Taco
Cabana and Arby's, each accounted for more than ten percent of the Partnership's
total rental revenues during the year ended December 31, 2003 (including total
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). In 2004, it is anticipated that each of
these four Restaurant Chains will continue to contribute more than ten percent
of the Partnership's total rental revenues to which the Partnership is entitled
under the terms of the leases. Any failure of these lessees or Restaurant Chains
will materially affect the Partnership's operating results if the Partnership is
not able to re-lease the Properties in a timely manner. As of December 31, 2003,
Golden Corral Corporation leased Properties with an aggregate carrying value in
excess of 20% of the total assets of the Partnership.


Joint Venture and Tenancy in Common Arrangements

The partnership has entered into the following joint venture and
tenancy in common arrangements as of December 31, 2003:

and CNL Income Fund
XVII, Ltd. Tenants in
Common





Each joint venture or tenancy in common was formed to hold one
Property. Each CNL Income Fund is an affiliate of the General Partners and is a
limited partnership organized pursuant to the laws of the state of Florida. The
Partnership shares management control equally with the affiliates of the General
Partners.

The joint venture and tenancy in common arrangements provide for the
Partnership and its joint venture and tenancy in common partners to share in all
costs and benefits in proportion to each partner's percentage interest in the
entity or Property. The Partnership and its partners are also jointly and
severally liable for all debts, obligations and other liabilities of the joint
venture or tenancy in common. Net cash flow from operations is distributed to
each joint venture or tenancy in common partner in accordance with its
respective percentage interest in the entity or Property.

CNL VII and XVII Lincoln Joint Venture and Katy Joint Venture, each has
an initial term of 30 years, and each of the other joint ventures has an initial
term of 20 years. After the expiration the initial term, each continues in
existence from year to year unless terminated at the option of either joint
venturer or by an event of dissolution. Events of dissolution include the
bankruptcy, insolvency or termination of any joint venturer, sale of the
Property owned by the joint venture and mutual agreement of the Partnership and
its joint venture partners to dissolve the joint venture. Any liquidation
proceeds, after paying joint venture debts and liabilities and funding reserves
for contingent liabilities, will be distributed first to the joint venture
partners with positive capital account balances in proportion to such balances
until such balances equal zero, and thereafter in proportion to each joint
venture partner's percentage interest in the joint venture.

The joint venture and tenancy in common agreements restrict each
party's ability to sell, transfer or assign its interest without first offering
it for sale to its partners, either upon such terms and conditions as to which
the parties may agree or, in the event the parties cannot agree, on the same
terms and conditions as any offer from a third party to purchase such joint
venture or tenancy in common interest.

During 2003, CNL Ocean Shores Joint Venture, in which the Partnership
owned a 30.94% interest, sold its Property in Ocean Shores, Washington to a
third party and the joint venture was liquidated. The Partnership received its
pro rata share of the liquidation proceeds.

The use of joint venture and tenancy in common arrangements allows the
Partnership to fully invest its available funds at times at which it would not
have sufficient funds to purchase an additional property, or at times when a
suitable opportunity to purchase an additional property is not available. The
use of joint venture and tenancy in common arrangements also provides the
Partnership with increased diversification of its portfolio among a greater
number of properties. In addition, tenancy in common arrangements may allow the
Partnership to defer the gain for federal income tax purposes upon the sale of
the property if the proceeds are reinvested in an additional property.

Certain Management Services

RAI Restaurants, Inc. (the "Advisor"), an affiliate of the General
Partners, provides certain services relating to management of the Partnership
and its Properties pursuant to a management agreement with the Partnership.
Under this agreement, the Advisor is responsible for collecting rental payments,
inspecting the Properties and the tenants' books and records, assisting the
Partnership in responding to tenant inquiries and notices, and providing
information to the Partnership about the status of the leases and the
Properties. The Advisor also assists the General Partners in negotiating the
leases. For these services, the Partnership has agreed to pay the Advisor an
annual fee of one percent of the sum of gross rental revenues from Properties
wholly owned by the Partnership plus the Partnership's allocable share of gross
revenues of joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer, but not in
excess of competitive fees for comparable services.

The management agreement continues until the Partnership no longer owns
an interest in any Properties unless terminated at an earlier date upon 60 days'
prior notice by either party.

During 2003, CNL Capital Management, Inc., ("CCM"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of CNL Financial Group, Inc., began providing certain strategic
advisory services to the General Partners relative to the Partnership's
business. CCM is not reimbursed for these services by the Partnership. CCM also
began providing some accounting and portfolio management services to the
Partnership during 2003, through a subcontract with the Advisor.

Competition

The fast-food and family-style restaurant business is characterized by
intense competition. The restaurants on the Partnership's Properties compete
with independently owned restaurants, restaurants which are part of local or
regional chains, and restaurants in other well-known national chains, including
those offering different types of food and service.






Employees

The Partnership has no employees. The officers of CNL Realty
Corporation, the officers and employees of CNL Restaurant Properties, Inc.
(formerly CNL American Properties Fund, Inc.), the parent company of the
Advisor, and the officers and employees of CCM perform certain services for the
Partnership. In addition, the General Partners have available to them the
resources and expertise of the officers and employees of CNL Financial Group,
Inc., a diversified real estate company, and its affiliates, who may also
perform certain services for the Partnership.


Item 2. Properties

As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership owned 26 Properties. Of the 26
Properties, 16 are owned by the Partnership in fee simple, four are owned
through joint venture arrangements and six are owned through tenancy in common
arrangements. See Item 1. Business - Joint Venture and Tenancy in Common
Arrangements. The Partnership is not permitted to encumber its Properties under
the terms of its partnership agreement.

Description of Properties

Land. The Partnership's Property sites, owned directly and indirectly,
range from approximately 23,500 to 115,100 square feet depending upon building
size and local demographic factors. Sites purchased by the Partnership are in
locations zoned for commercial use which have been reviewed for traffic patterns
and volume.

Buildings. Each of the Properties includes a building that is one of a
Restaurant Chain's approved designs. The buildings generally are rectangular and
are constructed from various combinations of stucco, steel, wood, brick and
tile. The sizes of the buildings owned by the Partnership ranged from
approximately 2,100 to 11,300 square feet. All buildings on Properties acquired
by the Partnership are freestanding and surrounded by paved parking areas.
Buildings are suitable for conversion to various uses, although modifications
may be required prior to use for other than restaurant operations. As of
December 31, 2003, the Partnership had no plans for renovation of the
Properties. Depreciation expense is computed for buildings and improvements
using the straight line method using a depreciable life of 40 years for federal
income tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2003, the aggregate cost of the Properties owned by
the Partnership and joint ventures (including Properties owned through tenancy
in common arrangements) for federal income tax purposes was $17,341,796 and
$12,245,448, respectively.

TOTAL PROPERTIES 26
==============

The General Partners consider the Properties to be well-maintained and
sufficient for the Partnership's operations.

The General Partners believe that the Properties are adequately covered
by insurance. In addition, the General Partners have obtained contingent
liability and property coverage for the Partnership. This insurance is intended
to reduce the Partnership's exposure in the unlikely event a tenant's insurance
policy lapses or is insufficient to cover a claim relating to the Property.

Leases. The Partnership leases the Properties to operators of
Restaurant Chains. The leases are generally on a long-term "triple net" basis,
meaning that the tenant is responsible for repairs, maintenance, property taxes,
utilities and insurance.

The following is a schedule of the average rent per Property and
occupancy rate for the years ended December 31:

PART II


Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

(a) As of March 12, 2004, there were 1,640 holders of record of the Units.
There is no public trading market for the Units, and it is not anticipated that
a public market for the Units will develop. During 2003, Limited Partners who
wished to sell their Units may have offered the Units for sale pursuant to the
Partnership's distribution reinvestment plan (the "Plan"), and Limited Partners
who wished to have their distributions used to acquire additional Units (to the
extent Units were available for purchase), may have done so pursuant to such
Plan. The General Partners have the right to prohibit transfers of Units. From
inception through December 31, 2003, the price paid for any Unit transferred
pursuant to the Plan ranged from $9.14 to $9.50 per Unit. The price paid for any
Unit transferred other than pursuant to the Plan was subject to negotiation by
the purchaser and the selling Limited Partner. The Partnership will not redeem
or repurchase Units.

The following table reflects, for each calendar quarter, the high, low
and average sales prices for transfers of Units during 2003 and 2002, other than
pursuant to the Plan, net of commissions.

(1) A total of 10,400 and 11,400 Units were transferred other than pursuant
to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

(2) No transfer of Units took place during the quarter other than pursuant
to the Plan.

The capital contribution per Unit was $10. All cash available for
distribution will be distributed to the partners pursuant to the provisions of
the Partnership Agreement.

For each of the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership
declared cash distributions of $2,400,000 to the Limited Partners. Distributions
of $600,000 were declared at the close of each of the Partnership's calendar
quarters during 2003 and 2002 to the Limited Partners. These amounts include
monthly distributions made in arrears for the Limited Partners electing to
receive such distributions on this basis. No amounts distributed to partners for
the years ended December 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. No
distributions have been made to the General Partners to date.

The Partnership intends to continue to make distributions of cash
available for distribution to the Limited Partners on a quarterly basis,
although some Limited Partners, in accordance with their election, receive
monthly distributions for an annual fee.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

The Partnership 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
restaurant Properties were to be constructed, which are leased primarily to
operators of Restaurant Chains. The leases are generally triple-net leases, with
the lessees generally responsible for all repairs and maintenance, property
taxes, insurance and utilities. The leases provide for minimum base annual
rental amounts (payable in monthly installments) ranging from approximately
$63,000 to $246,400. The majority of the leases provide for percentage rent,
based on sales in excess of a specified amount. In addition, some of the leases
provide that, commencing in specified lease years (generally the sixth lease
year), the annual base rent required under the terms of the lease will increase.

As of December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, the Partnership owned 16, 16,
and 18 Properties directly, respectively. In addition, the Partnership owned
ten, eleven, and nine Properties indirectly through joint venture or tenancy in
common arrangements as of December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

Capital Resources

For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, cash from
operating activities was $2,143,557, $2,259,664 and $1,784,443, respectively.
The decrease in cash from operating activities during the year ended December
31, 2003, as compared to 2002, and the increase in cash from operating
activities during 2002, as compared to 2001, was a result of changes in the
Partnership's working capital, such as the timing of transactions relating to
the collection of receivables and the payment of expenses, and changes in income
and expenses, such as changes in rental revenues and changes in operating and
Property related expenses.

Other sources and uses of cash included the following during the years
ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001.

In January 2001, the Partnership sold its Property in Houston, Texas to
a third party and received net sales proceeds of approximately $782,700,
resulting in a gain of $4,284. The Partnership used the net sales proceeds to
acquire an interest in CNL VII and XVII Lincoln Joint Venture, and to make
distributions to the Limited Partners. CNL VII and XVII Lincoln Joint Venture,
is a joint venture with CNL Income Fund VII, Ltd., an affiliate of the General
Partners. The joint venture holds one Property. The Property was acquired from
CNL BB Corp., an affiliate of the General Partners, who had purchased and
temporarily held title to the Property in order to facilitate the acquisition of
the Property by the joint venture. In April 2001, the Partnership contributed
approximately $1,496,700 to the joint venture, which included the net sales
proceeds from the sales of Properties in Warner Robins, Georgia, Long Beach,
California, and Houston, Texas. The Partnership owns an 86% interest in the
profits and losses of the joint venture.

In June 2001, the Partnership sold the Property in Kentwood, Michigan,
received net sales proceeds of approximately $681,200 and recorded a loss of
$38,877. In July 2001, the Partnership used a portion of these net sales
proceeds to acquire an interest in a Property in Waldorf, Maryland, as
tenants-in-common with CNL Income Fund VI, Ltd. and CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd.,
each of which is an affiliate of the General Partners. The Partnership
contributed approximately $570,100 for a 25% interest in the profits and losses
of the Property.

In September 2001, the Partnership sold the Property in Inglewood,
California to a third party for $300,000 and received net sales proceeds of
approximately $298,300. Since the Partnership had recorded a provision for
write-down of this Property in 2001, no additional gain or loss was recognized
on the sale. The Partnership used the majority of the net sales proceeds to pay
liabilities of the Partnership.

In September 2001, the Partnership also sold its Property in El Dorado,
California to a third party and received net sales proceeds of approximately
$1,510,500, resulting in a gain of $345,572. In December 2001, the Partnership
reinvested the majority of net sales proceeds received in a Property in Austin,
Texas. 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 of approximately $1,216,600 represented
the costs incurred by the affiliate to acquire the Property. The transaction, or
a portion thereof, relating to the sale of the Property and the reinvestment of
the proceeds qualified as a like-kind exchange transaction for federal income
tax purposes. The Partnership used the remaining net sales proceeds to pay
liabilities of the Partnership.





In March 2002, the Partnership sold its Denny's Property in Mesquite,
Nevada, to a third party and received net sales proceeds of approximately
$771,800. Since the Partnership had recorded provisions for write-down of assets
in prior years for this Property, no gain or loss was recognized in 2002
relating to the sale. The provision represented the difference between the
carrying value of the Property and its estimated fair value.

In May and June 2002, the Partnership sold its Properties in Knoxville,
Tennessee and Wilmette, Illinois to third parties and received total net sales
proceeds of approximately $2,727,800 resulting in a total gain of approximately
$285,700.

In June 2002, the Partnership reinvested the majority of the net sales
proceeds, it received from the sale of the Properties in Mesquite, Nevada and
Knoxville, Tennessee, in a Taco Cabana Property located in Houston, Texas, at an
approximate cost of approximately $1,364,200.

In addition in June 2002, the Partnership reinvested a portion of the
net sales proceeds from the sale of the Property in Mesquite, Nevada in a joint
venture arrangement, Katy Joint Venture, with CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd., a
Florida limited partnership and an affiliate of the General Partners. The joint
venture acquired a Property in Katy, Texas. The Partnership contributed
approximately $416,700 for a 40% interest in the profits and losses of the joint
venture.

The Partnership and Katy Joint Venture acquired the Properties in
Houston and Katy, Texas from CNL Funding 2001-A, LP, and an affiliate of the
General Partners. CNL Funding 2001-A, LP had purchased and temporarily held
title to the Properties in order to facilitate the acquisition of the Properties
by the Partnership and the joint venture. The purchase prices paid by the
Partnership and the joint venture represented the costs incurred by CNL Funding
2001-A, LP to acquire and carry the Properties.

In August 2002, the Partnership reinvested the net sales proceeds from
the sale of the Property in Wilmette, Illinois in a Property in Kenosha,
Wisconsin as tenants-in-common with CNL Income Fund VIII, Ltd. ("CNL VIII"), and
an affiliate of the General Partners, at an approximate cost of $1,883,000. The
Partnership contributed approximately $1,694,700 for a 90% interest in this
Property. The General Partners believe that the transactions, or portion
thereof, relating to the sale of the Property and the reinvestment of the net
sales proceeds, or a portion thereof, will qualify as a like-kind exchange
transaction for federal income tax purposes.

In August 2002, Mansfield Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owns
a 21% interest, sold its Property in Mansfield, Texas to the tenant and received
net sales proceeds of approximately $1,011,500 resulting in a gain of
approximately $269,800. The joint venture used the proceeds from the sale of the
Property and additional contributions from the Partnership and CNL Income Fund
VII, Ltd., who are the general partners of the joint venture, of approximately
$17,000 and $63,900, respectively, to acquire a Property in Arlington, Texas
from CNL Net Lease Investors, L.P. ("NLI"), at an approximate cost of
$1,089,900. During 2002, and prior to the joint venture's acquisition of this
Property, CNL Financial LP Holding, LP ("CFN"), a Delaware limited partnership,
and CNL Net Lease Investors GP Corp. ("GP Corp"), a Delaware corporation,
purchased the limited partner's interest and general partner's interest,
respectively, of NLI. Prior to this transaction, an affiliate of the
Partnership's General Partners owned a 0.1% interest in NLI and served as a
general partner of NLI. The original general partners of NLI waived their rights
to benefit from this transaction. The acquisition price paid by CFN for the
limited partner's interest was based on the portfolio acquisition price. The
joint venture acquired the Property in Arlington, Texas at CFN's cost and did
not pay any additional compensation to CFN for the acquisition of the Property.
Each CNL entity is an affiliate of the Partnership's General Partners.

In September 2003, CNL Ocean Shores Joint Venture, in which the
Partnership owned a 30.94% interest, sold its property to a third party for
$824,600 resulting in a gain of approximately $413,700. As a result, the
Partnership received approximately $242,800 representing its pro-rata share of
the liquidation proceeds. CNL Ocean Shores Joint Venture was dissolved in
accordance with the joint venture agreement and no gain or loss was recognized
on the dissolution. The General Partners intend to reinvest the liquidation
proceeds in an additional property and pay liabilities of the Partnership.

None of the Properties owned by the Partnership, or the joint ventures
or tenancy in common arrangements in which the Partnership owns an interest, is
or may be encumbered. Subject to certain restrictions on borrowing, however, the
Partnership may borrow funds but will not encumber any of the Properties in
connection with any such borrowing. The Partnership will not borrow for the
purpose of returning capital to the Limited Partners. The Partnership will not
borrow under arrangements that would make the Limited Partners liable to
creditors of the Partnership. The General Partners further have represented that
they will use their reasonable efforts to structure any borrowing so that it
will not constitute "acquisition indebtedness" for federal income tax purposes
and also will limit the Partnership's outstanding indebtedness to three percent
of the aggregate adjusted tax basis of its Properties. In addition, the
Partnership will not borrow unless it first obtains an opinion of counsel that
such borrowing will not constitute acquisition indebtedness. Affiliates of the
General Partners from time to time incur certain operating expenses on behalf of
the Partnership for which the Partnership reimburses the affiliates without
interest.

At December 31, 2003, the Partnership had $816,092 invested in cash and
cash equivalents as compared to $829,739 at December 31, 2002. At December 31,
2003, these funds were held in demand deposit and money market accounts at
commercial banks. As of December 31, 2003, the average interest rate earned on
rental income held in demand deposit and money market accounts at commercial
banks was less than one percent annually. The funds remaining at December 31,
2003, after payment of distributions and other liabilities, will be used to
invest in an additional property and to meet the Partnership's working capital
needs.

Short-Term Liquidity

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 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 operations of the Partnership.

Due to low operating expenses and ongoing cash flow, the General
Partners do not believe that working capital reserves are necessary at this
time. In addition, because generally all leases of the Partnership's Properties
are on a triple-net basis, it is not anticipated that a permanent reserve for
maintenance and repairs is necessary at this time. To the extent, however, that
the Partnership has insufficient funds for such purposes, the General Partners
will contribute to the Partnership an aggregate amount of up to one percent of
the offering proceeds for maintenance and repairs. The General Partners have the
right to cause the Partnership to maintain reserves if, in their discretion,
they determine such reserves are required to meet the Partnership's working
capital needs.

The Partnership generally distributes cash from operations remaining
after the payment of the operating expenses of the Partnership, to the extent
that the General Partners determine that such funds are available for
distribution. Based on current and future cash from operating activities, the
Partnership declared distributions to the Limited Partners of $2,400,000 for
each of the years. This represents distributions of $0.80 per Unit for each of
the years ended December 31, 2003, 2001 and 2001. No distributions were made to
the General Partners for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. No
amounts distributed to the Limited Partners for the years ended December 31,
2003, 2002 and 2001 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 Limited Partners on a
quarterly basis.

During 2000, the General Partners waived their right to receive future
distributions from the Partnership, including both distributions of operating
cash flow and distributions of liquidation proceeds, to the extent that the
cumulative amount of such distributions would exceed the balance in the General
Partners' capital account as of December 31, 1999. Accordingly, the General
Partners were not allocated any net income and did not receive any distributions
during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership owed $11,242 and
$26,600, respectively, to affiliates of the General Partners for operating
expenses, accounting and administrative services, and management fees. As of
March 12, 2004, the Partnership had reimbursed the affiliates for these amounts.
Other liabilities, including distributions payable, increased to $724,902 at
December 31, 2003, from $698,859 at December 31, 2002. The General Partners
believe that the Partnership has sufficient cash on hand to meet its current
working capital needs.





Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

The Partnership holds interests in various unconsolidated joint venture
and tenancy in common arrangements that are accounted for using the equity
method. The General Partners do not believe that any such interest would
constitute an off-balance sheet arrangement requiring any additional disclosures
under the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities, and Commitments

The Partnership has no contractual obligations, contingent liabilities,
or commitments as of December 31, 2003.

Long-Term Liquidity

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

Critical Accounting Policies

The Partnership's leases are accounted for under the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases"
("FAS 13"), and have been accounted for using either the direct financing or the
operating method. FAS 13 requires management to estimate the economic life of
the leased property, the residual value of the leased property and the present
value of minimum lease payments to be received from the tenant. In addition,
management assumes that all payments to be received under its leases are
collectible. Changes in management's estimates or assumptions regarding
collectibility of lease payments could result in a change in accounting for the
lease.

The Partnership accounts for its unconsolidated joint ventures using
the equity method of accounting. Under generally accepted accounting principles,
the equity method of accounting is appropriate for entities that are partially
owned by the Partnership, but for which operations of the investee are shared
with other partners. The Partnership's joint venture agreements require the
consent of all partners on all key decisions affecting the operations of the
underlying Property.

Management reviews the Partnership's Properties and investments in
unconsolidated entities periodically for impairment at least once a year or
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. The assessment is based on the carrying amount
of the Property or investment at the date it is tested for recoverability
compared to the sum of the estimated future cash flows expected to result from
its operation and sale through the expected holding period. If an impairment is
indicated, the asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Partnership adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Accordingly, when the Partnership makes the
decision to sell or commits to a plan to sell a Property within one year, its
operating results are reported as discontinued operations.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2003 to the year ended December 31,
2002

Rental revenues from continuing operations were $1,696,453 for the year
ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $1,700,468 in the same period in 2002.
While rental revenues from continuing operations remained constant during 2003
as compared to 2002, they were impacted by the following items. AmeriKing
Corporation, the parent company to National Restaurant Enterprises, Inc., which
was the tenant of the Properties in Harvey, Lyons and Chicago Ridge, Illinois,
experienced financial difficulties and filed for bankruptcy protection in
December 2002. The tenant has continued paying rent for each of these
Properties; however, during 2003, the Partnership granted a rent reduction of
approximately $24,800, for the period January through February 2003, to the
tenant of these Properties, and a second temporary rent reduction of
approximately $49,600 for the period September through December 2003. In
December 2003, the leases relating to the Properties were assigned to and
assumed by a new tenant. As a result of the assignment and assumption, the rents
due under the leases have been reduced. The Partnership does not believe these
reduced rents will have a material adverse effect on the operating results of
the Partnership.

The decrease in rental revenues from continuing operations during 2003
as discussed above, was offset by the acquisition of a Property in Houston,
Texas in June 2002 with the majority of the net sales proceeds received from the
2002 sales of the Properties in Mesquite, Nevada and Knoxville, Tennessee.

During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership
recognized income of $645,804 and $543,978, respectively, attributable to the
net operating results reported by unconsolidated joint ventures. The increase in
net income earned by unconsolidated joint ventures during 2003, was partially
due to the Partnership reinvesting the majority of the net proceeds from the
sales of the Properties in Mesquite, Nevada and Wilmette, Illinois during 2002
in Katy Joint Venture and a tenancy in common arrangement for a Property in
Kenosha, Wisconsin, with affiliates of the General Partners. Also, CNL Ocean
Shores Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owned a 30.94% interest, sold its
vacant Property in Ocean Shores, Washington to a third party in September 2003
and recorded a gain of approximately $413,700 for which the Partnership received
a liquidating distribution of approximately $242,800.

The increase in net income earned by unconsolidated joint ventures was
partially offset by the fact that during the year ended December 31, 2002, the
Partnership and an affiliate of the General Partners, as tenants-in-common,
collected and recognized as revenues approximately $309,700 in past due rents.
Phoenix Restaurant Group, Inc., the former tenant of the Property in Corpus
Christi, Texas, in which the Partnership owns an approximate 27% interest,
ceased paying rent and filed for bankruptcy in 2001. During April 2002, the
bankruptcy court assigned the lease to a new tenant, an affiliate of the General
Partners, and as a result, the tenancy in common collected the past due rents
from the new tenant. All other lease terms remained unchanged and are
substantially the same as the Partnership's other leases. In addition, in August
2002, Mansfield Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owns a 21% interest,
sold the Property in Mansfield, Texas resulting in a gain of approximately
$269,800. The Partnership recorded its pro-rata share of the gain as equity in
earnings. The joint venture reinvested the net sales proceeds in a Property in
Arlington, Texas.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, four lessees of the
Partnership, Golden Corral Corporation, National Restaurant Enterprises, Inc.,
Carrols Corporation, and 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). As of December 31, 2003, Golden Corral Corporation and Taco
Cabana, LP were each the lessee under leases relating to four restaurants, and
RTM, Inc., was the lessee under leases relating to three restaurants. It is
anticipated that based on the minimum rental payments required by the leases,
Golden Corral Corporation, Carrols Corporation and RTM, Inc. each will continue
to contribute more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental revenues
in 2004. In addition, four Restaurant Chains, Golden Corral, Burger King, Taco
Cabana, and Arby's, each accounted for more than ten percent of the
Partnership's total rental revenues during the year ended December 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). In 2004, it is anticipated that
each of these four Restaurant Chains will continue to contribute more than ten
percent of the total rental revenues to which the Partnership is entitled under
the terms of the leases. Any failure of these lessees or Restaurant Chains will
have a material adverse affect on the Partnership's income if the Partnership is
not able to re-lease or sell the Properties in a timely manner.

During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership also
earned $902 and $16,269, respectively, in interest and other income. During
2002, interest and other income was higher as compared to 2003 because the
Partnership recognized as other income the reimbursement of property
expenditures of approximately $11,200, which were incurred in previous years
related to vacant Properties. Interest and other income was lower during 2003
due to a decline in interest rates and a decrease in the average cash balance.

Operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense and
provision for write-down of assets, were $551,485 and $1,004,659 for the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in operating
expenses during 2003, was due to the recording of provisions for write-down of
assets, during 2002, in the amount of $456,000 relating to the Properties in
Harvey and Chicago Ridge, Illinois, as a result of AmeriKing Corporation, the
parent company to National Restaurant Enterprises, Inc. which was the tenant of
these Properties, filing for bankruptcy protection, as described above. The
provision represented the difference between the carrying value of the
Properties and their estimated fair value.

The decrease in operating expenses during the year ended December 31,
2003 was also partially due to a decrease in the costs incurred for
administrative expenses for servicing the Partnership and its Properties during
2003. The decrease in operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2003
was partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense as a result of a
Property acquisition in 2002, 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. Also, there was an increase in state tax
expense relating to several states in which the Partnership conducts business.

During 2002, the Partnership identified and sold the Properties located
in Mesquite, Nevada; Knoxville, Tennessee; and Wilmette, Illinois, which were
classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.
In October 2001, Phoenix Restaurant Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, a tenant
of the Partnership, filed for bankruptcy protection and rejected the lease
relating to the property in Mesquite, Nevada. In March 2002, the Partnership
sold the Property to a third party. Since the Partnership had recorded
provisions for write-down of assets of $465,915 and $28,644 during the years
2001 and 2000, respectively. No gain or loss was recognized in 2002 relating to
the sale. In May and June 2002, the Partnership sold its Properties in
Knoxville, Tennessee and Wilmette, Illinois to third parties resulting in a
total gain of approximately $285,700. The majority of the net sales proceeds
from the sales of these Properties were reinvested in three Properties, one
owned directly by the Partnership and the other two owned indirectly through a
tenancy in common and a joint venture.

During 2003, the Partnership identified one Property for sale located
in Warner Robins, Georgia. In June 2003, the Partnership recorded a provision
for write-down of assets of $213,000 relating to the Property, after the tenant
who was experiencing financial difficulties surrendered the premises. The
provision represented the difference between the carrying value of the Property
and its estimated fair value. The Property was classified as discontinued
operations in the accompanying financial statements and was reclassified to real
estate held for sale. The Partnership recognized a net rental loss (Property
related expenses and provision for write-down of assets in excess of rental
revenues) of $184,260 and net rental income (rental revenues less Property
related expenses and provision for write-down of assets) of $184,379 during the
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, relating to these
Properties.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, CNL Ocean Shores Joint
Venture, in which the Partnership owned a 30.94% interest, sold its vacant
Property in Ocean Shores, Washington, as described above. The financial results
relating to the Property in Ocean Shores, Washington and a Property sold in
August 2002 by Mansfield Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owns a 21%
interest, were classified as discontinued operations in the combined, condensed
financial information reported in the footnotes to the accompanying financial
statements for the joint ventures and the tenancies in common with affiliates of
the General Partners. The Partnership's pro-rata share of these amounts is
included in equity in earnings of joint ventures in the accompanying financial
statements.

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2002 to the year ended December 31,
2001

Rental revenues from continuing operations were $1,700,468 for the year
ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $1,640,597 in the same period in 2001.
The slight increase in rental revenues from continuing operations during 2002,
was due to the fact the Partnership reinvested the majority of the net sales
proceeds from the 2001 and 2002 sale of the Properties.

During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership
recognized income of $543,978 and a loss of $136,021, respectively, attributable
to the net operating results reported by unconsolidated joint ventures. Results
were lower during 2001 because PRG, the tenant of the Property in Corpus
Christi, Texas, experienced financial difficulties and ceased paying rent in
2001. As a result, the Partnership and an affiliate of the General Partners, as
tenants-in-common, in which the Partnership owns an approximate 27% interest,
stopped recording rental revenues. Property related expenses such as, legal
fees, insurance and real estate taxes relating to this Property were also
incurred and a provision for write-down of assets of approximately $356,700 was
recorded. The provision represented the difference between the carrying value of
the Property and its estimated fair value. In October 2001, PRG filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Since the bankruptcy filing, the tenant
resumed paying rent. The Partnership and the affiliate, as tenants-in-common,
received from PRG the rent payments relating to this Property from the
bankruptcy date through April 2002. During April 2002, the bankruptcy court
assigned its lease to a new tenant, an affiliate of the General Partners which
has continued to pay rent pursuant to the lease. All other lease terms remained
unchanged and are substantially the same as the Partnership's other leases. As a
result of the assignment relating to this Property, the Partnership collected
from the new tenant $309,700 in rents not collected in 2001 from the previous
tenant.

In addition, the operating results reported by unconsolidated joint
ventures were lower during 2001, as compared to the same period in 2002, because
CNL Ocean Shores Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owned a 30.94%
interest, recorded a provision for write down of assets of approximately
$781,700 in 2001. The provision represented the difference between the carrying
value of the Property and its estimated fair value. The tenant of the Property
owned by this joint venture experienced financial difficulties and vacated the
Property in April 2001. During 2002, the joint venture has not recorded rental
revenues relating to this Property. In September 2003, CNL Ocean Shores Joint
Venture sold its property to a third party, and dissolved the joint venture as
described above.

The increase in net operating results reported by unconsolidated joint
ventures during 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001, was also the
result of the Partnership investing during 2001 and 2002 the majority of the net
proceeds from the sales of Properties in Warner Robins, Georgia; Long Beach,
California; Kentwood, Michigan; Mesquite, Nevada; and Wilmette, Illinois; in two
joint ventures and two additional Properties, each as a separate tenancy in
common with affiliates of the General Partners.

In August 2002, Mansfield Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owns
a 21% interest, sold the Property in Mansfield, Texas, and reinvested the net
sales proceeds in a Property in Arlington, Texas.

During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership
earned $16,269 and $56,643, respectively, in interest and other income. During
2001, interest and other income were higher as compared to the same period in
2002 due to the Partnership recognizing as income the remainder of the security
deposit from a former tenant. In addition, higher average cash balances existed
during 2001 pending reinvestment in an additional income producing Property.

Operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense and
provision for write-down of assets, were $1,004,659 and $683,552 for the years
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in operating
expenses during 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001, was due to the
recording of provisions for write-down of assets in the amount of $456,000
relating to the Properties in Harvey and Chicago Ridge, Illinois, as a result of
the AmeriKing Corporation's bankruptcy.

The increase in operating expenses during 2002 was also partially due
to an increase in depreciation expense as a result of Property acquisitions and
the reclassification of the lease relating to the Property in Muncie, Indiana
from direct financial leases to operating leases due to an amendment to the
lease.

The increase in operating expenses during 2002, as compared to the same
period in 2001, was partially offset by a decrease in the costs incurred for
administrative expenses for servicing the Partnership and its Properties, a
decrease in Property expenses such as legal fees and real estate taxes relating
to several Properties with tenants that experienced financial difficulties in
2001, and a decrease in state taxes.

During 2001, the Partnership recorded provisions for write-down of
assets in the amount of $39,576 relating to the Property in Inglewood,
California, which was sold at no additional gain or loss during 2001.

During 2001, the Partnership sold a Property in Houston, Texas
resulting in a gain of $4,284, a Property in El Dorado, California resulting in
a gain of $345,572 and a Property in Kentwood, Michigan resulting in a loss of
$38,877.

During 2002, the Partnership identified and sold the Properties located
in Mesquite, Nevada; Knoxville, Tennessee; and Wilmette, Illinois, which were
classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.
In October 2001, Phoenix Restaurant Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, a tenant
of the Partnership, filed for bankruptcy protection and rejected the lease
relating to the property in Mesquite, Nevada. In March 2002, the Partnership
sold the Property to a third party. Since the Partnership had recorded
provisions for write-down of assets of $465,915 and $28,644 during the years
2001 and 2000, respectively. No gain or loss was recognized in 2002 relating to
the sale. In May and June 2002, the Partnership sold its properties in
Knoxville, Tennessee and Wilmette, Illinois to third parties resulting in a
total gain of approximately $285,700. During 2003, the Partnership identified
one property for sale located in Warner Robins, Georgia. The property was
classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements
and was reclassified to real estate held for sale. The Partnership recognized
net rental income (rental revenues less Property related expenses and provision
for write-down of assets) of $184,379 and a net rental loss (Property related
expenses and provision for write-down of assets in excess of rental revenues) of
$220,561 during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively,
relating to these Properties.

The General Partners continuously evaluate strategic alternatives for
the Partnership, including alternatives to provide liquidity to the Limited
Partners.

The Partnership's leases as of December 31, 2003, are generally
triple-net leases and contain provisions that the General Partners believe
mitigate the adverse effect of inflation. Such provisions include clauses
requiring the payment of percentage rent based on certain restaurant sales above
a specified level and/or automatic increases in base rent at specified times
during the term of the lease. Inflation, overall, has had a minimal effect on
results of operations of the Partnership. Continued inflation may cause capital
appreciation of the Partnership's Properties. Inflation and changing prices,
however, also may have an adverse impact on the sales of the restaurants and on
potential capital appreciation of the Properties.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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, 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. In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R
("FIN 46R"), to clarify some of the provisions of FIN 46. Under FIN 46R, special
effective date provisions apply to entities that have fully or partially applied
FIN 46 prior to issuance of FIN 46R. Otherwise, application of FIN 46R is
required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in
structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for periods
ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities, other than small
business issuers, for all other types of variable interest entities is required
in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The Partnership
did not fully or partially apply FIN 46 prior to the issuance of FIN 46R. Also,
the Partnership does not have interests in structures commonly referred to as
special-purpose entities. Therefore, application of FIN 46R is required in the
Partnership's financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The
General Partners believe adoption of this standard may result in either
consolidation or additional disclosure requirements of the Partnership's
unconsolidated joint ventures, which are currently accounted for under the
equity method. However, such consolidation is not expected to significantly
impact the Partnership's results of operations.

CNL INCOME FUND XVII, LTD.
(A Florida Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001


1. Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of Business - CNL Income Fund XVII, Ltd. (the
"Partnership") is a Florida limited partnership that was organized for
the purpose of acquiring both newly constructed and existing restaurant
properties, as well as properties upon which restaurants were to be
constructed, which are leased primarily to operators of national and
regional fast-food, family-style and casual dining restaurant chains.

The general partners of the Partnership are CNL Realty Corporation (the
"Corporate General Partner"), James M. Seneff, Jr. and Robert A.
Bourne. Mr. Seneff and Mr. Bourne are also 50% shareholders of the
Corporate General Partner. The general partners have responsibility for
managing the day-to-day operations of the Partnership.

Real Estate and Lease Accounting - The Partnership records the real
estate property acquisitions at cost. The properties are leased to
third parties generally on a triple-net basis, whereby the tenant is
generally responsible for all operating expenses relating to the
property, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs.
During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the tenants
paid, or are expected to pay, directly to real estate taxing
authorities approximately $374,500, $312,800, and $321,200,
respectively, in estimated real estate taxes in accordance with the
terms of their leases..

The leases of the Partnership provide for base minimum annual rental
payments payable in monthly installments. In addition, certain leases
provide for contingent rental revenues based on the tenants' gross
sales in excess of a specified threshold. The Partnership defers
recognition of the contingent rental revenues until the defined
thresholds are met. The leases are accounted for using either the
operating or the direct financing method.

Operating method - Real estate property leases accounted for using
the operating method are recorded at cost, revenue is recognized
as rentals are earned and depreciation is charged to operations as
incurred. Buildings are depreciated on the straight-line method
over their estimated useful lives of 30 years. When scheduled
rentals vary during the lease term, income is recognized on a
straight-line basis so as to produce a constant periodic rent over
the lease term commencing on the date the property is placed in
service.

Direct financing method - Leases accounted for using the direct
financing method are recorded at their net investment (which at
the inception of the lease generally represents the cost of the
asset). Unearned income is deferred and amortized to income over
the lease terms so as to produce a constant periodic rate of
return on the Partnership's investment in the leases. For property
leases classified as direct financing leases, the building
portions of the majority of property leases are accounted for as
direct financing leases while the land portions of these leases
are accounted for as operating leases.

(A Florida Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001

1. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

Accrued rental income represents the aggregate amount of income
recognized on a straight-line basis in excess of scheduled rental
payments to date. In contrast, deferred rental income represents the
aggregate amount of scheduled rental payments to date (including rental
payments due during construction and prior to the property being placed
in service) in excess of income recognized on a straight-line basis
over the lease term commencing on the date the property is placed in
service.

Leases are generally for 15 to 20 years and provide for minimum and
contingent rentals. The lease options generally allow tenants to renew
the leases for two to four successive five-year periods subject to the
same terms and conditions of the initial lease. Most leases also allow
the tenant to purchase the property at fair market value after a
specified portion of the lease has elapsed.

When the properties are sold, the related cost and accumulated
depreciation for operating leases and the net investment for direct
financing leases, plus any accrued rental income, or deferred rental
income, are removed from the accounts and gains or losses from sales
are reflected in income. The general partners of the Partnership review
properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable
through operations. The general partners determine whether an
impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows, including the residual value of the property,
with the carrying cost of the individual property.

When the collection of amounts recorded as rental or other income is
considered to be doubtful, a provision is recorded to increase the
allowance for doubtful accounts. If amounts are subsequently determined
to be uncollectible, the corresponding receivable and allowance for
doubtful accounts are decreased accordingly.

Investment in Joint Ventures - The Partnership accounts for its
interests in CNL Kingston Joint Venture; CNL Mansfield Joint Venture;
CNL VII & XVII Lincoln Joint Venture; and Katy Joint Venture; and the
properties in Corpus Christi, Texas; Akron, Ohio; Fayetteville, North
Carolina; Zephyrhills, Florida; Waldorf, Maryland; and Kenosha,
Wisconsin, for which each property is held as tenants-in-common, are
accounted for using the equity method since each joint venture
agreement requires the consent of all partners on all key decisions
affecting the operations of the underlying property.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Partnership considers all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to
be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand
deposits at commercial banks and money market funds. Cash equivalents
are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market
value.

Cash accounts maintained on behalf of the Partnership in demand
deposits at commercial banks and money market funds may exceed
federally insured levels; however, the Partnership has not experienced
any losses in such accounts.

Income Taxes - Under Section 701 of the Internal Revenue Code, all
income, expenses and tax credit items flow through to the partners for
tax purposes. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is
provided in the accompanying financial statements. The Partnership is
subject to certain state taxes on its income and property.

Additionally, for tax purposes, syndication costs are included in
Partnership equity and in the basis of each partner's investment. For
financial reporting purposes, syndication costs represent a reduction
of Partnership equity and a reduction in the basis of each partner's
investment.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001

1. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

Rents Paid in Advance - Rents paid in advance by lessees for future
periods are deferred upon receipt and are recognized as revenues during
the period in which the rental income is earned.

Use of Estimates - The general partners of the Partnership have made a
number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets
and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. The more significant areas requiring
the use of management estimates relate to the allowance for doubtful
accounts and future cash flows associated with long-lived assets.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification - Certain items in the prior year's financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to 2003 presentation.
These reclassifications had no effect on partner's capital, net income
or cash flows.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 - Effective January
1, 2002, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144 ("FAS 144") "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement requires that a
long-lived asset be tested for recoverability whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be
recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not
recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows
expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.
The assessment is based on the carrying amount of the asset at the date
it is tested for recoverability. An impairment loss is recognized when
the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its estimated fair
value. If an impairment is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of
a long-lived asset is its new cost basis. The statement also requires
that the results of operations of a component of an entity that either
has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale be reported as a
discontinued operation if the disposal activity was initiated
subsequent to the adoption of the Standard.

FASB Interpretation No. 46 - In January 2003, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("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, 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. In December 2003,
the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), to clarify
some of the provisions of FIN 46. Under FIN 46R, special effective date
provisions apply to entities that have fully or partially applied FIN
46 prior to issuance of FIN 46R. Otherwise, application of FIN 46R is
required in financial statements of public entities that have interests
in structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities
for periods ending after December15, 2003. Application by public
entities, other than small business issuers, for all other types of
variable interest entities is required in financial statements for
periods ending after March 15, 2004. The Partnership did not fully or
partially apply FIN 46 prior to the issuance of FIN 46R. Also, the
Partnership does not have interests in structures commonly referred to
as special-purpose entities. Therefore, application of FIN 46R is
required in the Partnership's financial statements for periods ending
after March 15, 2004. The General Partners believe adoption of this
standard may result in either consolidation or additional disclosure
requirements of the Partnership's unconsolidated joint ventures, which
are currently accounted for under the equity method. However, such
consolidation is not expected to significantly impact the Partnership's
results of operations.

ventures and the properties held as tenants-in-common with affiliates.

5. Discontinued Operations

In October 2001, Phoenix Restaurant Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, a
tenant of the Partnership, filed for bankruptcy protection and rejected
the lease relating to the property in Mesquite, Nevada. In March 2002,
the Partnership sold the property to a third party and received net
sales proceeds of approximately $771,800. The Partnership had recorded
provisions for write-down of assets of $465,915 and $28,644 during the
years 2001 and 2000, respectively. No gain or loss was recognized in
2002 relating to the sale.

In May and June 2002, the Partnership sold its properties in Knoxville,
Tennessee and Wilmette, Illinois to third parties and received total
net sales proceeds of approximately $2,727,800 resulting in a total
gain of approximately $285,700.

During November 2003, the Partnership identified for sale its property
in Warner Robins, Georgia. As a result, the property was reclassified
from real estate properties with operating leases to real estate held
for sale. The reclassified assets were recorded at the lower of their
carrying amounts or fair value, less cost to sell. During June 2003,
subsequent to the tenant vacating the property, the Partnership
recorded a provision for write-down of assets of $213,000. The
provision represented the difference between the carrying value of the
property and its estimated fair value.

The financial results for these properties are reflected as
discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. The
operating results of discontinued operations are as follows:

6. Allocations and Distributions

From inception through December 31, 1999, distributions of net cash
flow, as defined in the limited partnership agreement of the
Partnership, were made 95% to the limited partners and five percent to
the general partners; provided, however, that for any particular year,
the five percent of net cash flow to be distributed to the general
partners was subordinated to receipt by the limited partners in that
year of an eight percent cumulative, noncompounded return on their
aggregate invested capital contributions (the "Limited Partners" 8%
Return").

From inception through December 31, 1999, generally, net income
(determined without regard to any depreciation and amortization
deductions and gains and losses from the sale of properties) was
allocated between the limited partners and the general partners first,
in an amount not to exceed the net cash flow distributed to the
partners attributable to such year in the same proportions as such net
cash flow is distributed; and thereafter, 99% to the limited partners
and one percent to the general partners. All deductions for
depreciation and amortization were allocated 99% to the limited
partners and one percent to the general partners.

From inception through December 31, 1999, net sales proceeds from the
sale of a property not in liquidation of the Partnership generally were
distributed first to the limited partners in an amount sufficient to
provide them with the return of their invested capital contributions,
plus their cumulative Limited Partners' 8% Return. The general partners
then received a return of their capital contributions and, to the
extent previously subordinated and unpaid, a five percent interest in
all net cash flow distributions. Any remaining net sales proceeds were
distributed 95% to the limited partners and five percent to the general
partners.

6. Allocations and Distributions - Continued

Any gain from the sale of a property, not in liquidation of the
Partnership, was in general, allocated in the same manner as net sales
proceeds are distributable. Any loss was, in general, allocated first,
on a pro rata basis to the partners with positive balances in their
capital accounts; and thereafter, 95 percent to the limited partners
and five percent to the general partners.

Generally, net sales proceeds from a liquidating sale of properties,
will be used in the following order: (i) first to pay and discharge all
of the Partnership's liabilities to creditors, (ii) second, to
establish reserves that may be deemed necessary for any anticipated or
unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership, (iii) third,
to pay all of the Partnership's liabilities, if any, to the general and
limited partners, (iv) fourth, after allocations of net income, gains
and/or losses, to distribute to the partners with positive capital
accounts balances, in proportion to such balances, up to amounts
sufficient to reduce such positive balances to zero, and (v)
thereafter, any funds remaining shall then be distributed 95% to the
limited partners and five percent to the general partners.

Effective January 1, 2000, the general partners waived their right to
receive future distributions from the Partnership, including both
distributions of operating cash flow and distributions of liquidation
proceeds, to the extent that the cumulative amount of such
distributions would exceed the balance in the general partners' capital
account as of December 31, 1999. Accordingly, for years commencing
January 1, 2000 and after, the Partnership's net income will be
allocated entirely among the limited partners. However, if losses are
allocated to the general partners in a year, an amount of income equal
to the sum of such losses may be allocated to the general partners in
succeeding years. Accordingly, the general partners were not allocated
any net income and did not receive any distributions during the years
ended December 31, 2003, 2001 and 2001.

During each of the years ended December 31, 2003, 2001, and 2001, the
Partnership declared distributions to the limited partners of
$2,400,000. No distributions have been made to the general partners to
date.

8. Related Party Transactions

One of the individual general partners, James M. Seneff, Jr., is one of
the principal shareholders of CNL Holdings, Inc. The other individual
general partner, Robert A. Bourne, serves as President and Treasurer of
CNL Financial Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CNL Holdings,
Inc. CNL APF Partners, LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of CNL Restaurant
Properties, Inc. (formerly known as CNL American Properties Fund, Inc.)
served as the Partnership's advisor until January 1, 2002, when it
assigned its rights and obligations under a management agreement to RAI
Restaurants, Inc. (the "Advisor") The Advisor is a wholly owned
subsidiary of CNL Restaurant Properties, Inc. ("CNL-RP"). The
individual general partners are stockholders and directors of CNL-RP.

The Advisor provides services pursuant to a management agreement with
the partnership. In connection therewith, the Partnership agreed to pay
certain Advisor management fees of one percent of the sum of gross
revenues from properties wholly owned by the Partnership and the
Partnership's allocable share of gross revenues from joint ventures.
Any portion of the Management fee not paid is deferred without
interest. The Partnership incurred management fees of $23,448, $24,452,
and $21,315, for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001,
respectively.

The Advisor is also entitled to receive a deferred, subordinated real
estate disposition fee, payable upon the sale of one or more properties
based on the lesser of one-half of a competitive real estate commission
or three percent of the sales price if the Advisor provides a
substantial amount of services in connection with the sale. However, if
the sales proceeds are reinvested in a replacement property, no such
real estate disposition fees will be incurred until such replacement
property is sold and the net sales proceeds are distributed. The
payment of the real estate disposition fee is subordinated to the
receipt by the limited partners of their aggregate 8% Preferred Return,
plus their adjusted capital contributions. No deferred, subordinated
real estate disposition fees have been incurred since inception.

During 2001, Phoenix Restaurant Group, Inc. ("PRG") filed for
bankruptcy and rejected one of the two leases it had with the
Partnership. The other lease was held with an affiliate of the general
partners, as tenants-in-common. The Partnership owns a 27.42% interest
in the tenancy in common. In May 2002, the bankruptcy court assigned
this lease, relating to the property in Corpus Christi, Texas to RAI,
LLC, an affiliate of the general partners. All other lease terms
remained the same. In connection with this lease, the tenancy in common
recognized rental revenues of approximately $190,600 and $127,800
during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The
Partnership recognized its pro-rata share of this amount in equity in
earnings of joint ventures in the accompanying financial statements.

In June 2002, the Partnership acquired a property in Houston, Texas,
from CNL Funding 2001-A, LP, for approximately $1,364,200. In addition,
in June 2002, Katy Joint Venture acquired a property in Katy, Texas
from CNL Funding 2001-A, LP. CNL Funding 2001-A, LP had purchased and
temporarily held title to the properties in order to facilitate the
acquisition of the properties by the Partnership and the Joint Venture.
The purchase price paid by the Partnership and the Joint Venture
represented the costs incurred by CNL Funding 2001-A, LP to acquire and
carry the properties.

In September 2002, CNL Mansfield Joint Venture acquired a property in
Arlington, Texas from CNL Net Lease Investors, L.P. ("NLI"), at an
approximate cost of $1,089,900. During 2002, and prior to the joint
venture's acquisition of this property, CNL Financial LP Holding, LP
("CFN") and CNL Net Lease Investors GP Corp. ("GP Corp") purchased the
limited partner's interest and general partner's interest,
respectively, of NLI. Prior to this transaction, an affiliate of the
Partnership's general partners owned a 0.1% interest in NLI and served
as a general partner of NLI. The original general partners of NLI
waived their rights to benefit from this transaction. The acquisition
price paid by CFN for the limited partner's interest was based on the
portfolio acquisition price. The joint venture acquired the property in
Arlington, Texas at CFN's cost and did not pay any additional
compensation to CFN for the acquisition of the property. Each CNL
entity is an affiliate of the Partnership's general partners.

During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, the Advisor
and its affiliates provided accounting and administrative services. The
Partnership incurred $114,200, $149,801, and $189,320, for the years
ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively, for such
services.

not represent more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental
revenues.

Although the Partnership's properties are geographically diverse
throughout the United States and the Partnership's lessees operate a
variety of restaurant concepts, default by any of these lessees or
restaurant chains will significantly impact the results of operations
of the Partnership if the Partnership is not able to re-lease the
properties in a timely manner.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the General Partners, the
officers of the corporate General Partner, and persons who own more than ten
percent of a registered class of the Partnership's equity securities
(collectively, the "Reporting Persons"), to file reports of ownership and
changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC. Reporting Persons are
required by SEC regulation to furnish the Partnership with copies of all Forms
3, 4 and 5 that they file.

Based solely on the General Partners' review of the copies of such
forms the Partnership has received and written representations from certain
Reporting Persons that they were not required to file Forms 5 for the last
fiscal year, the General Partners believe that all Reporting Persons complied
with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions
during fiscal 2003.

Code of Business Conduct

The Partnership does not have employees and, accordingly, has not
adopted a code of business conduct applicable exclusively to the Partnership.
However, employees of the General Partners or their affiliates, including the
individual General Partners, are bound by the Code of Business Conduct adopted
November 11, 2003 by CNL Holdings, Inc. Separately, the employees of the Advisor
are bound by the similar Code of Business Conduct adopted by CNL Restaurant
Properties, Inc. Each of these codes of business conduct will be made available
to any person who writes the Partnership requesting a copy.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Due to its organization as a limited partnership, the Partnership does
not have an audit committee that is responsible for supervising the
Partnership's relationship with its independent auditors. For the Partnership,
this role is performed by the General Partners. Based on his previous service as
the principal financial officer of companies with businesses similar to that of
the Partnership, Robert A. Bourne, one of the General Partners, has the
requisite experience to be considered an "audit committee financial expert" as
defined in the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, if the
Partnership had an audit committee. As a General Partner, Mr. Bourne is not
independent of the Partnership.


Item 11. Executive Compensation

Other than as described in Item 13, the Partnership has not paid and
does not intend to pay any executive compensation to the General Partners or any
of their affiliates. There are no compensatory plans or arrangements regarding
termination of employment or change of control.

Related Stockholder Matters

ownership interests of the General Partners in the Registrant.

During 2001, PRG filed for bankruptcy and rejected one of the two leases it had
with the Partnership. The other lease was held with an affiliate of the General
Partners, as tenants-in-common. The Partnership owns a 27.42% interest in the
tenancy in common. In May 2002, the bankruptcy court assigned this lease,
relating to the property in Corpus Christi, Texas to RAI, LLC, an affiliate of
the General Partners. All other lease terms remained the same. In connection
with this lease, the tenancy in common recognized rental revenues of
approximately $190,600 and $127,800 during the years ended December 31, 2003 and
2002, respectively. The Partnership recognized its pro-rata share of this amount
in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures in the accompanying
financial statements.

(b) As of December 31, 2003, the aggregate cost of the Partnership's wholly
owned Properties was $17,341,796 for federal income tax purposes. All of

purposes.

(c) Depreciation expense is computed for buildings and improvements based
upon estimated lives of 30 years.

(d) Certain components of the lease relating to land and building have been
recorded as a direct financing lease. Accordingly, costs relating to
these components of this lease are not shown.

(e) The portion of the lease relating to the building has been recorded as a
direct financing lease. The cost of the building has been included in net
investment in direct financing leases; therefore, depreciation is not
applicable.

(f) During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Partnership received
reimbursements from the developer of the property upon final
reconciliation of total construction costs. In connection therewith, the
land and building value was adjusted accordingly.

(g) Effective April 2002, the lease for this property was amended, resulting
in the reclassification of the building portion of the lease to an
operating lease. The building was recorded at net book value, and will be
depreciated over its remaining estimated life of approximately 26 years.

(h) The undepreciated cost of the Property in Harvey, Illinois, was written
down to it estimated fair value due to an impairment in value. The
Partnership recognized the impairment by recording a provision for
write-down of assets in the amount of $186,000 at December 31, 2002. The
provision represented the difference between the Property's carrying
value and the estimated fair value. The cost of the Property presented on
this schedule is the net amount at which the Property is carried,
including the provision for write-down of assets.

(i) The undepreciated cost of the Property in Chicago Ridge, Illinois, was
written down to its estimated fair value due to an impairment in value.
The Partnership recognized the impairment by recording a provision for
write-down of assets in the amount of $270,000 at December 31, 2002. The
provision represented the difference between the Property's carrying
value and the estimated fair value. The cost of the Property presented on
this schedule is the net amount at which the Property is carried,
including the provision for write-down of assets.

(j) During 2002, the Partnership purchased a real estate property from CNL

of approximately $ 1,364,200.
