AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVII LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1999 (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 of the Partnership. Robert P. Johnson, the President and sole shareholder of AFM, serves as the Individual General Partner of the Partnership. 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 Partnership's 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 the operation of the Partnership, 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 the Partnership's 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 the Partnership's 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 Partnership 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 the Partnership's 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 - In January, 1996, the Cheddar's restaurant in Indianapolis, Indiana was destroyed by a fire. The Partnership reached an agreement with the tenant and insurance company which called for termination of the Lease, demolition of the building and payment to the Partnership of $407,282 for the building and equipment and $49,688 for lost rent. The property will not be rebuilt and the Partnership listed the land for sale. As of December 31, 1997, 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 $200,000. In the fourth quarter of 1997, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $62,000 was recognized, which is the difference between the book value at December 31, 1997 of $261,644 and the estimated fair value of $200,000. In December, 1998, the Partnership re- analyzed the market conditions in the area and determined the fair value of the Partnership's interest in the land declined to approximately $175,000. In the fourth quarter of 1998, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $25,000 was recognized, which is the difference between the book value at December 31, 1998 of $200,000 and the estimated fair value of $175,000. On February 20, 1998, the Partnership sold the am/pm Mini Market in Carson City, Nevada to an unrelated third party. The Partnership received net sale proceeds of $850,996, which resulted in a net gain of $416,282. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $703,871 and $269,157, respectively. During the first six months of 1998, the Partnership distributed $12,622 of the net sale proceeds to the Limited and General Partners which represented a return of capital of and $0.55 per Limited Partnership Unit. On December 23, 1997, the Partnership purchased a 26.05% interest in a parcel of land in Troy, Michigan for $393,620. 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 $27,553. Effective June 20, 1998, the annual rent was increased to $41,330. 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 7.0%. Effective June 20, 1998, the interest rate was increased to 10.50%. On September 3, 1998, after the development was completed, the Lease Agreement was amended to require annual rental payments of $133,356. The Partnership's share of the total acquisition costs, including the cost of the land, was $1,289,135. The remaining interests in the property are owned by AEI Real Estate Fund XV Limited Partnership, AEI Real Estate Fund XVIII Limited Partnership and AEI Net Lease Income & Growth Fund XIX Limited Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership. AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVII LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (3) Investments in Real Estate - (Continued) On January 15, 1998, the Partnership purchased a parcel of land in Rochester, Minnesota for $406,778. The land is leased to Timber Lodge Steakhouse, Inc. (TLS) under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental payments of $30,133. Effective May 14, 1998, the annual rent was increased to $42,327. Simultaneously with the purchase of the land, the Partnership entered into a Development Financing Agreement under which the Partnership advanced funds to TLS for the construction of a Timber Lodge Steakhouse restaurant on the site. Initially, the Partnership charged interest on the advances at a rate of 7.5%. Effective May 14, 1998, the interest rate was increased to 10.535%. On September 3, 1998, after the development was completed, the Lease Agreement was amended to require annual rental payments of $198,363. Total acquisition costs, including the cost of the land, were $1,910,768. On August 28, 1998, the Partnership purchased a 14% interest in a parcel of land in Centerville, Ohio for $259,139. The land is leased to Americana Dining Corporation (ADC) under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental payments of $18,140. Effective December 25, 1998, the annual rent was increased to $27,209. Simultaneously with the purchase of the land, the Partnership entered into a Development Financing Agreement under which the Partnership advanced funds to ADC for the construction of a Champps Americana restaurant on the site.

On January 27, 1999, after the development was completed, the Lease Agreement was amended to require annual rental payments of $56,764. The Partnership's share of the total purchase price, including the cost of the land, was $551,677. The remaining interests in the property are owned by AEI Real Estate Fund XVIII Limited Partnership, AEI Income & Growth Fund XXI Limited Partnership and AEI Income & Growth Fund XXII Limited Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership. (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, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership recognized rental income of $895,351 and $733,498, respectively. During the same periods, the Partnership earned investment income of $7,087 and $87,151, respectively. In 1999, rental income increased as a result of rent received from three property acquisitions in 1998 and 1999 and rent increases on ten properties. These increases in rental income were partially offset by a decrease in rent due to a property sale in 1998 and a decrease in investment income earned on the net proceeds prior to the purchase of the additional properties. ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) During the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership paid Partnership administration expenses to affiliated parties of $133,263 and $135,420, 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 $21,893 and $33,590, 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, 1999, the Partnership's annualized cash distribution rate was 6.5%, 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. The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer systems that use two digits rather than four to define the applicable year, which may prevent such systems from accurately processing dates ending in the Year 2000 and beyond. This could result in computer system failures or disruption of operations, including, but not limited to, an inability to process transactions, to send or receive electronic data, or to engage in routine business activities. AEI Fund Management, Inc. (AEI) performs all management services for the Partnership. In 1998, AEI completed an assessment of its computer hardware and software systems and has replaced or upgraded certain computer hardware and software using the assistance of outside vendors. AEI has received written assurance from the equipment and software manufacturers as to Year 2000 compliance. The costs associated with Year 2000 compliance have not been, and are not expected to be, material. The Partnership intends to monitor and communicate with tenants regarding Year 2000 compliance, although there can be no assurance that the systems of the various tenants will be Year 2000 compliant. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Partnership's cash balances increased $145,878 as the Partnership distributed less cash to the Partners than it generated from operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased from $645,656 in 1998 to $787,822 in 1999 due to an increase in income and a decrease in expenses in 1999 and net timing differences in the collection of payments from the lessees and the payment of expenses. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) 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. For the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership generated cash flow from the sale of real estate of $-0- and $850,996, respectively. During the same periods, the Partnership expended $124,258 and $1,861,481, respectively, to invest in real properties (inclusive of acquisition expenses) as the Partnership reinvested the cash generated from property sales. In January, 1996, the Cheddar's restaurant in Indianapolis, Indiana was destroyed by a fire. The Partnership reached an agreement with the tenant and insurance company which called for termination of the Lease, demolition of the building and payment to the Partnership of $407,282 for the building and equipment and $49,688 for lost rent. The property will not be rebuilt and the Partnership listed the land for sale. As of December 31, 1997, 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 $200,000. In the fourth quarter of 1997, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $62,000 was recognized, which is the difference between the book value at December 31, 1997 of $261,644 and the estimated fair value of $200,000. In December, 1998, the Partnership re-analyzed the market conditions in the area and determined the fair value of the Partnership's interest in the land declined to approximately $175,000. In the fourth quarter of 1998, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $25,000 was recognized, which is the difference between the book value at December 31, 1998 of $200,000 and the estimated fair value of $175,000. On February 20, 1998, the Partnership sold the am/pm Mini Market in Carson City, Nevada to an unrelated third party. The Partnership received net sale proceeds of $850,996, which resulted in a net gain of $416,282. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $703,871 and $269,157, respectively. During the first six months of 1998, the Partnership distributed $12,622 of the net sale proceeds to the Limited and General Partners which represented a return of capital of and $0.55 per Limited Partnership Unit. On December 23, 1997, the Partnership purchased a 26.05% interest in a parcel of land in Troy, Michigan for $393,620. The land is leased to Champps Entertainment, Inc.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) On January 15, 1998, the Partnership purchased a parcel of land in Rochester, Minnesota for $406,778.

The remaining interests in the property are owned by AEI Real Estate Fund XVIII Limited Partnership, AEI Income & Growth Fund XXI Limited Partnership and AEI Income & Growth Fund XXII 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. Beginning in 1998, redemption payments were paid to redeeming Partners on a quarterly basis. The redemption payments generally are funded with cash that would normally be paid as part of the regular quarterly distributions. As a result, total distributions and distributions payable have fluctuated from year to year due to cash used to fund redemption payments. 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 July 1, 1999, twenty-one Limited Partners redeemed a total of 290 Partnership Units for $224,344. The Partnership acquired these Units using Net Cash Flow from operations. In prior years, a total of ninety-six Limited Partners redeemed 1,440.9 Partnership Units for $936,523. The redemptions increase the remaining Limited Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership. The continuing rent payments from the properties should be adequate to fund continuing distributions and meet other Partnership obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.
