(Unaudited)
(1) The condensed statements included herein have been prepared
by the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to a fair statement of the results of
operations for the interim period, on a basis consistent with
the annual audited statements. The adjustments made to these
condensed statements consist only of normal recurring
adjustments. Certain information, accounting policies, and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to such rules and regulations, although the Partnership
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. It is suggested that
these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the summary of significant
accounting policies and notes thereto included in the
Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-KSB.
(2) Organization -
AEI Real Estate Fund XVII Limited Partnership (Partnership)
was formed to acquire and lease commercial properties to
operating tenants. The Partnership's operations are managed
by AEI Fund Management XVII, Inc. (AFM), the Managing
General Partner. Robert P. Johnson, the President and sole
shareholder of AFM, serves as the Individual General Partner
and an affiliate of AFM, AEI Fund Management, Inc. (AEI),
performs the administrative and operating functions for the
Partnership.
The terms of the Partnership offering call for a
subscription price of $1,000 per Limited Partnership Unit,
payable on acceptance of the offer. The Partnership
commenced operations on February 10, 1988 when minimum
subscriptions of 2,000 Limited Partnership Units
($2,000,000) were accepted. The offering terminated on
November 1, 1988 when the one-year offering period expired.
The Partnership received subscriptions for 23,388.7 Limited
Partnership Units ($23,388,700).
Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the
Limited Partners and General Partners contributed funds of
$23,388,700 and $1,000, respectively. During operations,
any Net Cash Flow, as defined, which the General Partners
determine to distribute will be distributed 90% to the
Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners; provided,
however, that such distributions to the General Partners
will be subordinated to the Limited Partners first receiving
an annual, noncumulative distribution of Net Cash Flow equal
to 10% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution, as defined,
and, provided further, that in no event will the General
Partners receive less than 1% of such Net Cash Flow per
annum. Distributions to Limited Partners will be made pro
rata by Units.

(Continued)
(2) Organization - (Continued)
Any Net Proceeds of Sale, as defined, from the sale or
financing of properties which the General Partners determine
to distribute will, after provisions for debts and reserves,
be paid in the following manner: (i) first, 99% to the
Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners until the
Limited Partners receive an amount equal to: (a) their
Adjusted Capital Contribution plus (b) an amount equal to 6%
of their Adjusted Capital Contribution per annum, cumulative
but not compounded, to the extent not previously distributed
from Net Cash Flow; (ii) next, 99% to the Limited Partners
and 1% to the General Partners until the Limited Partners
receive an amount equal to 14% of their Adjusted Capital
Contribution per annum, cumulative but not compounded, to
the extent not previously distributed; (iii) next, to the
General Partners until cumulative distributions to the
General Partners under Items (ii) and (iii) equal 15% of
cumulative distributions to all Partners under Items (ii)
and (iii). Any remaining balance will be distributed 85% to
the Limited Partners and 15% to the General Partners.
Distributions to the Limited Partners will be made pro rata
by Units.
For tax purposes, profits from operations, other than
profits attributable to the sale, exchange, financing,
refinancing or other disposition of property, will be
allocated first in the same ratio in which, and to the
extent, Net Cash Flow is distributed to the Partners for
such year. Any additional profits will be allocated 90% to
the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners. In
the event no Net Cash Flow is distributed to the Limited
Partners, 90% of each item of income, gain or credit for
each respective year shall be allocated to the Limited
Partners, and 10% of each such item shall be allocated to
the General Partners. Net losses from operations will be
allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and 2% to the General
Partners.
For tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing,
or other disposition of property will be allocated in
accordance with the Partnership Agreement as follows: (i)
first, to those Partners with deficit balances in their
capital accounts in an amount equal to the sum of such
deficit balances; (ii) second, 99% to the Limited Partners
and 1% to the General Partners until the aggregate balance
in the Limited Partners' capital accounts equals the sum of
the Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital Contributions plus an
amount equal to 14% of their Adjusted Capital Contributions
per annum, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not
previously allocated; (iii) third, to the General Partners
until cumulative allocations to the General Partners equal
15% of cumulative allocations. Any remaining balance will
be allocated 85% to the Limited Partners and 15% to the
General Partners. Losses will be allocated 98% to the
Limited Partners and 2% to the General Partners.
The General Partners are not required to currently fund a
deficit capital balance. Upon liquidation of the
Partnership or withdrawal by a General Partner, the General
Partners will contribute to the Partnership an amount equal
to the lesser of the deficit balances in their capital
accounts or 1% of total Limited Partners' and General
Partners' capital contributions.

In January, 2000, Texas Sports City Cafe, Ltd. (Texas), the
lessee of the Sports City Cafe, notified the Partnership
that they were discontinuing the restaurant operations. The
Partnership negotiated to sell the property to an unrelated
third party, who assumed the restaurant operations from
Texas. On July 28, 2000, the sale closed with the
Partnership receiving net sale proceeds of $579,215, which
resulted in a net gain of $563. At the time of sale, the
cost and related accumulated depreciation was $831,343 and
$252,691, respectively.
Through December 31, 2000, the Partnership sold 28.7991% of
the Timber Lodge Steakhouse in St. Cloud, Minnesota, in
three separate transactions, to unrelated third parties.
The Partnership received total net sale proceeds of
$547,869, which resulted in a total net gain of $117,909.
The total cost and related accumulated depreciation of the
interests sold was $461,523 and $31,563, respectively. For
the six months ended June 30, 2000, no gain was recognized.
During 2000, the Partnership sold 34.4822% of the Timber
Lodge Steakhouse in Rochester, Minnesota, in three separate
transactions, to unrelated third parties. The Partnership
received total net sale proceeds of $757,988, which resulted
in a total net gain of $137,706. The total cost and related
accumulated depreciation of the interest sold was $658,875
and $38,593, respectively. For the six months ended June
30, 2000, no gain was recognized
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Partnership
distributed $125,316 of the net sale proceeds to the Limited
and General Partners as part of their regular quarterly
distributions which represented a return of capital of $5.99
per Limited Partnership Unit. The remaining net sale
proceeds will either be re-invested in additional property
or distributed to the Partners in the future.
On May 8, 2000, the Partnership purchased a 17% interest in
a parcel of land in Austin, Texas for $231,200. The land is
leased to Razzoo's, Inc. (RI) under a Lease Agreement with a
primary term of 15 years and annual rental payments of
$19,652. Effective October 4, 2000, the annual rent was
increased to $22,542. Simultaneously with the purchase of
the land, the Partnership entered into a Development
Financing Agreement under which the Partnership will advance
funds to RI for the construction of a Razzoo's restaurant on
the site. Initially, the Partnership charged interest on
the advances at a rate of 8.5%. Effective October 4, 2000
and April 15, 2001, the interest rate was increased to 9.75%
and 15.0%, respectively. On June 27, 2001, after
development was completed, the Lease Agreement was amended
to require annual rental payments of $54,068. The
Partnership's share of the total purchase price, including
the cost of the land, was $544,891. The remaining interests
in the property are owned by AEI Real Estate Fund XV Limited
Partnership, AEI Net Lease Income & Growth Fund XIX Limited
Partnership, and AEI Income & Growth Fund XXII Limited

On April 27, 2001, the Partnership purchased a 28% interest
in a parcel of land in Utica, Michigan for $338,380. The
land is leased to Champps Entertainment, Inc. (Champps)
under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and
annual rental payments of $30,454. Simultaneously with the
purchase of the land, the Partnership entered into a
Development Financing Agreement under which the Partnership
will advance funds to Champps for the construction of a
Champps Americana restaurant on the site. Through June 30,
2001, the Partnership had advanced $22,594 for the
construction of the property and was charging interest on
the advances at a rate of 9.0%. The Partnership's share of
the total purchase price, including the cost of the land,
will be approximately $980,000. After the construction is
complete, the Lease Agreement will be amended to require
annual rental payments of approximately $105,000. The

Lease Income & Growth Fund XIX Limited Partnership and AEI
Net Lease Income & Growth Fund XX Limited Partnership,

In January, 1996, the Cheddar's restaurant in Indianapolis,
Indiana was destroyed by a fire. The property will not be
rebuilt and the Partnership listed the land for sale. As of
December 31, 2000, based on an analysis of market conditions
in the area, it was determined the fair value of the
Partnership's interest in the land was approximately
$50,000. In the fourth quarter of 2000, a charge to
operations for real estate impairment of $124,644 was
recognized, which is the difference between the book value
at December 31, 2000 of $174,644 and the estimated fair
value of $50,000.
As of December 31, 2000, based on analysis of market
conditions, it was determined the fair value of the
Bennigan's restaurant was approximately $700,000. In the
fourth quarter of 2000, a charge to operations for real
estate impairment of $639,576 was recognized, which is the
difference between the book value at December 31, 2000 of
$1,339,576 and the estimated market value of $700,000. The
charge was recorded against the cost of the land and
building.
(4) Payable to AEI Fund Management -
AEI Fund Management, Inc. performs the administrative and
operating functions for the Partnership. The payable to AEI
Fund Management represents the balance due for those
services. This balance is non-interest bearing and
unsecured and is to be paid in the normal course of
business.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
For the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 the
Partnership recognized rental income of $869,467 and $904,933,
respectively. During the same periods, the Partnership earned
investment income of $50,314 and $16,722, respectively. In 2001,
rental income decreased due to the property sales discussed
below. This decrease in rental income was partially offset by
rent received from two property acquisitions in 2000 and 2001,
and rent increases on nine properties. In 2001, additional
investment income was earned on the net proceeds from property
sales.
In January, 1996, the Cheddar's restaurant in
Indianapolis, Indiana was destroyed by a fire. The property will
not be rebuilt and the Partnership listed the land for sale. As
of December 31, 2000, based on an analysis of market conditions
in the area, it was determined the fair value of the
Partnership's interest in the land was approximately $50,000. In
the fourth quarter of 2000, a charge to operations for real
estate impairment of $124,644 was recognized, which is the
difference between the book value at December 31, 2000 of
$174,644 and the estimated fair value of $50,000.
As of December 31, 2000, based on analysis of market
conditions, it was determined the fair value of the Bennigan's
restaurant was approximately $700,000. In the fourth quarter of
2000, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of
$639,576 was recognized, which is the difference between the book
value at December 31, 2000 of $1,339,576 and the estimated market
value of $700,000. The charge was recorded against the cost of
the land and building.
During the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the
Partnership paid Partnership administration expenses to
affiliated parties of $151,087 and $136,296, respectively. These
administration expenses include costs associated with the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements and correspondence to the Limited Partners. During
the same periods, the Partnership incurred Partnership
administration and property management expenses from unrelated
parties of $34,520 and $40,904, respectively. These expenses
represent direct payments to third parties for legal and filing
fees, direct administrative costs, outside audit and accounting
costs, taxes, insurance and other property costs.
As of June 30, 2001, the Partnership's annualized cash
distribution rate was 7.0%, based on the Adjusted Capital
Contribution. Distributions of Net Cash Flow to the General
Partners were subordinated to the Limited Partners as required in
the Partnership Agreement. As a result, 99% of distributions and
income were allocated to Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partners.
Inflation has had a minimal effect on income from
operations. It is expected that increases in sales volumes of
the tenants, due to inflation and real sales growth, will result
in an increase in rental income over the term of the leases.
Inflation also may cause the Partnership's real estate to
appreciate in value. However, inflation and changing prices may
also have an adverse impact on the operating margins of the
properties' tenants which could impair their ability to pay rent
and subsequently reduce the Partnership's Net Cash Flow available
for distributions.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the
Partnership's cash balances decreased $582,936 as a result of
cash used to purchase property and the Partnership distributed
more cash to the Partners than it generated from operating
activities. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased
from $784,448 in 2000 to $729,202 in 2001 mainly due to net
timing differences in the collection of payments from the lessees
and the payment of expenses.
The major components of the Partnership's cash flow from
investing activities are investments in real estate and proceeds
from the sale of real estate. During the six months ended June
30, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership expended $444,662 and
$225,295, respectively, to invest in real properties (inclusive
of acquisition expenses) as the Partnership reinvested cash
generated from property sales.
In January, 2000, Texas Sports City Cafe, Ltd. (Texas),
the lessee of the Sports City Cafe, notified the Partnership that
they were discontinuing the restaurant operations. The
Partnership negotiated to sell the property to an unrelated third
party, who assumed the restaurant operations from Texas. On July
28, 2000, the sale closed with the Partnership receiving net sale
proceeds of $579,215, which resulted in a net gain of $563. At
the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
was $831,343 and $252,691, respectively.
Through December 31, 2000, the Partnership sold 28.7991%
of the Timber Lodge Steakhouse in St. Cloud, Minnesota, in three
separate transactions, to unrelated third parties. The
Partnership received total net sale proceeds of $547,869, which
resulted in a total net gain of $117,909. The total cost and
related accumulated depreciation of the interests sold was
$461,523 and $31,563, respectively. For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, no gain was recognized.
During 2000, the Partnership sold 34.4822% of the Timber
Lodge Steakhouse in Rochester, Minnesota, in three separate
transactions, to unrelated third parties. The Partnership
received total net sale proceeds of $757,988, which resulted in a
total net gain of $137,706. The total cost and related
accumulated depreciation of the interest sold was $658,875 and
$38,593, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2000,
no gain was recognized.
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Partnership
distributed $125,316 of the net sale proceeds to the Limited and
General Partners as part of their regular quarterly distributions
which represented a return of capital of $5.99 per Limited
Partnership Unit. The remaining net sale proceeds will either be
re-invested in additional property or distributed to the Partners
in the future.

amended to require annual rental payments of $54,068. The
Partnership's share of the total purchase price, including the
cost of the land, was $544,891. The remaining interests in the
property are owned by AEI Real Estate Fund XV Limited
Partnership, AEI Net Lease Income & Growth Fund XIX Limited
Partnership, and AEI Income & Growth Fund XXII Limited
Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.
On April 27, 2001, the Partnership purchased a 28%
interest in a parcel of land in Utica, Michigan for $338,380.
The land is leased to Champps Entertainment, Inc. (Champps) under
a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual
rental payments of $30,454. Simultaneously with the purchase of
the land, the Partnership entered into a Development Financing
Agreement under which the Partnership will advance funds to
Champps for the construction of a Champps Americana restaurant on
the site. Through June 30, 2001, the Partnership had advanced
$22,594 for the construction of the property and was charging
interest on the advances at a rate of 9.0%. The Partnership's
share of the total purchase price, including the cost of the
land, will be approximately $980,000. After the construction is
complete, the Lease Agreement will be amended to require annual
rental payments of approximately $105,000. The remaining
interests in the property are owned by AEI Net Lease Income &
Growth Fund XIX Limited Partnership and AEI Net Lease Income &
Growth Fund XX Limited Partnership, affiliates of the
Partnership.
The Partnership's primary use of cash flow is distribution
and redemption payments to Partners. The Partnership declares
its regular quarterly distributions before the end of each
quarter and pays the distribution in the first week after the end
of each quarter. The Partnership attempts to maintain a stable
distribution rate from quarter to quarter. Redemption payments
are paid to redeeming Partners on a quarterly basis.
The Partnership may acquire Units from Limited Partners
who have tendered their Units to the Partnership. Such Units may
be acquired at a discount. The Partnership is not obligated to
purchase in any year more than 5% of the number of Units
outstanding at the beginning of the year. In no event shall the
Partnership be obligated to purchase Units if, in the sole
discretion of the Managing General Partner, such purchase would
impair the capital or operation of the Partnership.
On January 1, 2001, sixteen Limited Partners redeemed a
total of 220.83 Partnership Units for $176,650 in accordance with
the Partnership Agreement. On April 1, 2001, seven Limited
Partners redeemed a total of 78.33 Partnership Units for $63,207.
The Partnership acquired these Units using Net Cash Flow from
operations. In prior years, a total of 179 Limited Partners
redeemed 2,444.43 Partnership Units for $1,721,632. The
redemptions increase the remaining Limited Partners' ownership
interest in the Partnership.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)
The continuing rent payments from the properties, together
with cash generated from property sales, should be adequate to
fund continuing distributions and meet other Partnership
obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.
