AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVII LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2002 (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. 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. AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVII LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (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. AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVII LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (3) Investments in Real Estate - On November 2, 2001, the Partnership sold the Bennigan's restaurant in Cincinnati, Ohio to an unrelated third party. The Partnership received total net sale proceeds of $710,652, which resulted in a net gain of $29,000. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $1,259,192 and $577,540, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership distributed $61,585 and $125,316 of net sale proceeds to the Limited and General Partners as part of their regular quarterly distributions which represented a return of capital of $2.98 and $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 advanced 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 the development was completed, the Lease Agreement was amended to require annual rental payments of $54,068. The Partnership's share of the total acquisition costs, including the cost of the land, was $545,266. 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. Effective October 23, 2001, the annual rent was increased to $36,376. Simultaneously with the purchase of the land, the Partnership entered into a Development Financing Agreement under which the Partnership advanced funds to Champps for the construction of a Champps Americana restaurant on the site. Initially, the Partnership charged interest on the advances at a rate of 9.0%. Effective October 23, 2001, the interest rate was increased to 10.75%. On February 12, 2002, after the development was completed, the Lease Agreement was amended to require annual rental payments of $105,350. The Partnership's share of the total acquisition costs, including the cost of the land, was $961,647. 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. AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVII LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (3) Investments in Real Estate - (Continued) In May, 2001, Huntington Restaurants Group, Inc. (HRG), the lessee of the Denny's Restaurant in Casa Grande, Arizona, notified the Partnership that it was experiencing financial problems and would not make the lease payments while they worked out a plan which would enable them to continue operations without seeking bankruptcy protection. For the three months ended March 31, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2001, HRG owed $31,047 and $71,490 for past due rent, which has not been accrued. The Partnership is reviewing its available options, which include allowing HRG to remain in the property while they develop a work-out plan or replacing them with a new lessee. (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 three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 the Partnership recognized rental income of $414,894 and $429,494, respectively. During the same periods, the Partnership earned investment income of $9,517 and $26,718, respectively. In 2002, rental income decreased as a result of the loss of rent from the Denny's restaurant and property sales. These decreases in rental income were partially offset by additional rent received from two property acquisitions in 2002 and 2001, and rent increases on ten properties. In 2001, additional investment income was earned on the net proceeds from property sales. In May, 2001, Huntington Restaurants Group, Inc. (HRG), the lessee of the Denny's Restaurant in Casa Grande, Arizona, notified the Partnership that it was experiencing financial problems and would not make the lease payments while they worked out a plan which would enable them to continue operations without seeking bankruptcy protection. For the three months ended March 31, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2001, HRG owed $31,047 and $71,490 for past due rent, which has not been accrued. The Partnership is reviewing its available options, which include allowing HRG to remain in the property while they develop a work- out plan or replacing them with a new lessee. During the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership paid Partnership administration expenses to affiliated parties of $78,444 and $74,031, 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 $22,127 and $16,738, 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. ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) As of March 31, 2002, 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 were allocated to Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners. Inflation has had a minimal effect on income from operations. Leases may contain rent increases, based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index over a specified period, which will result in an increase in rental income over the term of the leases. In addition, leases may contain rent clauses which entitle the Partnership to receive additional rent in future years if gross receipts for the property exceed certain specified amounts. Increases in sales volumes of the tenants, due to inflation and real sales growth, may result in an increase in rental income over the term of the leases. Inflation also may cause the real estate to appreciate in value. However, inflation and changing prices may have an adverse impact on the operating margins of the properties' tenants, which could impair their ability to pay rent and subsequently reduce the Net Cash Flow available for distributions. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Partnership's cash balances decreased $165,953 as a result of cash used to purchase property. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $409,888 in 2001 to $390,633 in 2002 due to a decrease in income and an increase in Partnership administration expenses in 2002, which were partially offset by 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 three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership expended $183,486 and $27,897, respectively, to invest in real properties (inclusive of acquisition expenses) as the Partnership reinvested cash generated from property sales. On November 2, 2001, the Partnership sold the Bennigan's restaurant in Cincinnati, Ohio to an unrelated third party. The Partnership received total net sale proceeds of $710,652, which resulted in a net gain of $29,000. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $1,259,192 and $577,540, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership distributed $61,585 and $125,316 of net sale proceeds to the Limited and General Partners as part of their regular quarterly distributions which represented a return of capital of $2.98 and $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. ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) 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.

The Partnership's share of the total acquisition costs, including the cost of the land, was $545,266. 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. Effective October 23, 2001, the annual rent was increased to $36,376.

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, 2002, nine Limited Partners redeemed a total of 78.50 Partnership Units for $63,930 in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership acquired these Units using Net Cash Flow from operations. In prior years, a total of 218 Limited Partners redeemed 2,880.35 Partnership Units for $2,072,573. The redemptions increase the remaining Limited Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership. 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. ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis contains various "forward looking statements" within the meaning of federal securities laws which represent management's expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including statements regarding anticipated application of cash, expected returns from rental income, growth in revenue, taxation levels, the sufficiency of cash to meet operating expenses, rates of distribution, and other matters. These, and other forward looking statements made by the Partnership, must be evaluated in the context of a number of factors that may affect the Partnership's financial condition and results of operations, including the following: Market and economic conditions which affect the value of the properties the Partnership owns and the cash from rental income such properties generate; the federal income tax consequences of rental income, deductions, gain on sales and other items and the affects of these consequences for investors; resolution by the General Partners of conflicts with which they may be confronted; the success of the General Partners of locating properties with favorable risk return characteristics; the effect of tenant defaults; and the condition of the industries in which the tenants of properties owned by the Partnership operate.
