NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009
(1) The condensed statements included herein have been prepared
by the registrant, 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 registrant
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
registrant's latest annual report on Form 10-K.
(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 director of AFM, serves as the
Individual General Partner. AFM is a wholly owned
subsidiary of AEI Capital Corporation of which Mr. Johnson
is the majority shareholder. AEI Fund Management, Inc.
("AEI"), an affiliate of AFM, performs the administrative
and operating functions for the Partnership.
The terms of the Partnership offering called for a
subscription price of $1,000 per Limited Partnership Unit,
payable on acceptance of the offer. The Partnership
commenced operations on February 10, l988 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 contribution.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
(2) Organization - (Continued)
In September 2007, the Managing General Partner solicited by
mail a proxy statement seeking the consent of the Limited
Partners, as required by Section 6.1 of the Partnership
Agreement, to initiate the final disposition, liquidation
and distribution of all of the Partnership's properties and
assets within the next year. On October 16, 2007, the
proposal was approved with a majority of Units voted in
favor of the proposal. As a result, the Managing General
Partner will proceed with the planned liquidation of the
Partnership. If the Partnership sells its remaining
property in 2009, the Partnership anticipates liquidation to
occur by December 31, 2009.
Financial Statement Presentation
Because liquidation was anticipated, the Partnership
changed its basis of accounting after September 30, 2005,
from the going concern basis to the liquidation basis.
Effective October 1, 2005, the Partnership measures its
assets and liabilities at the amounts of cash expected in
liquidation and reports changes in estimates when they
are known. The accounts of the Partnership are
maintained on the accrual basis of accounting for both
federal income tax purposes and financial reporting
purposes.
(3) Investments in Real Estate -
Effective with the decision to liquidate, the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities were adjusted from their
historical bases to the amounts of cash expected from their
realization and settlement. Because of the expected short
liquidation period, the effects of discounting would not be
significant and have been ignored. At March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, the estimated real estate values were
based upon comparable sales of similar properties. It is
reasonably possible that the amounts expected to be realized
in the liquidation process may change in the near term.
On June 26, 2006, Timber Lodge Steakhouse, Inc. ("TLS"), the
tenant of the Timber Lodge restaurants filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy reorganization. In September 2006, TLS submitted
a written proposal requesting rent concessions. In February
2007, the Partnership and other owners of the properties
signed Lease amendments to reduce the annual rent by 15% for
the Rochester property and 10% for the St. Cloud property.
As a result of these amendments, TLS submitted a request to
the bankruptcy court to assume the Leases. The request was
approved by the court. Through June 30, 2008, TLS paid all
rent due under the Leases as amended.
AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVII LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
(3) Investments in Real Estate - (Continued)
In August 2008, TLS completed an asset sale to Timberlodge
Steakhouse Acquisition, LLC ("TSA"), a subsidiary of Taher
Food Management, a Minneapolis-based food services company.
After the asset sale, TLS reported to its creditors that it
was insolvent and would be unable to pay amounts owed to
unsecured creditors. As a result, the Partnership will not
be able to collect the July rent for the properties. In
exchange for a rent reduction of approximately 12%, TSA
entered into Lease amendments, effective August 1, 2008, for
both properties and assumed the responsibilities of the
tenant. At September 30, 2008, based on the Lease
amendments and an analysis of market conditions in the area,
the Partnership recognized a $175,000 adjustment to decrease
the estimated net realizable value of the properties.
During the first three months of 2009 and 2008, the
Partnership distributed net sale proceeds of $24,242 and
$31,010 to the Limited and General Partners as part of their
quarterly distributions, which represented a return of
capital of $1.23 and $1.57 per Limited Partnership Unit,
respectively. The proceeds were generated from sales
completed prior to 2007.
(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 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
This section contains "forward looking statements" 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, the
sufficiency of cash to meet operating expenses, rates of
distribution, and other matters. These, and other forward
looking statements, should 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
effects of these consequences for the Partners;
resolution by the General Partners of conflicts with which
they may be confronted;
the effect of tenant defaults; and
the condition of the industries in which the tenants of
properties owned by the Partnership operate.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued)
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of the Partnership's financial statements
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing
basis, including those related to the carrying value of real
estate and the allocation by AEI Fund Management, Inc. of
expenses to the Partnership as opposed to other funds they
manage.
Effective October 1, 2005, the Partnership adopted the
liquidation basis of accounting because the General Partners
anticipated the liquidation of the Partnership during 2006. The
timetable for final disposition of the assets was delayed when
the tenant in two of the Partnership's remaining properties filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization on June 26, 2006. While
the tenant was in bankruptcy, the General Partners believed it
would have been difficult to find a buyer that would have paid a
fair value for the properties. In 2008, the tenant again
experienced financial difficulties which made it harder to sell
the properties. The General Partners now anticipate liquidation
to occur during 2009. In accordance with the liquidation basis
of accounting, assets are recorded at their estimated net
realizable value (the amount of cash expected to be received) and
liabilities are recorded at the amount estimated to be paid to
creditors and Partners. At March 31, 2009, the estimated real
estate values were based upon comparable sales of similar
properties. Any changes in these estimates could cause material
changes in the net assets in liquidation.
AEI Fund Management, Inc. allocates expenses to each of
the funds they manage primarily on the basis of the number of
hours devoted by their employees to each fund's affairs. They
also allocate expenses at the end of each month that are not
directly related to a fund's operations based upon the number of
investors in the fund and the fund's capitalization relative to
other funds they manage. The Partnership reimburses these
expenses subject to detailed limitations contained in the
Partnership Agreement.
Management of the Partnership has discussed the
development and selection of the above accounting estimates and
the management discussion and analysis disclosures regarding them
with the managing partner of the Partnership.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, while
in the liquidation phase, the Partnership recognized rental
income of $28,503 and $32,435, respectively. In 2009, rental
income decreased due to lease amendments that reduced the rent
for the Timber Lodge restaurants as discussed below. During the
same periods, the Partnership recognized interest income of
$2,126 and $6,758, respectively. Interest income decreased due
to lower money market interest rates in 2009, when compared to
2008.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued)
The tenant of the Timber Lodge restaurants is making
additional monthly payments to fund a real estate tax escrow
account. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
the Partnership received payments of $21,248. The Partnership
holds the funds until real estate taxes are due, in May and
October of each year, and then pays them directly to the taxing
authorities. The real estate tax payable represents the balance
of the tenant's real estate tax payments that have not been paid
to the taxing authorities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, while
in the liquidation phase, the Partnership incurred Partnership
administration expenses from affiliated parties of $15,208 and
$16,219, respectively. These administration expenses include
costs associated with the management of the properties,
processing distributions, reporting requirements and
communicating with the Limited Partners. During the same
periods, the Partnership incurred Partnership administration and
property management expenses from unrelated parties of $6,763 and
$6,436, respectively. These expenses represent direct payments
to third parties for legal and filing fees, direct administrative
costs, outside audit costs, taxes, insurance and other property
costs.
At March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership recognized
adjustments of estimated values of ($15,964) and ($17,963),
respectively, resulting from adopting the liquidation basis of
accounting and recording its assets at estimated net realizable
value and liabilities at the amount estimated to be paid.
On June 26, 2006, Timber Lodge Steakhouse, Inc. ("TLS"),
the tenant of the Timber Lodge restaurants filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy reorganization. In September 2006, TLS submitted a
written proposal requesting rent concessions. In February 2007,
the Partnership and other owners of the properties signed Lease
amendments to reduce the annual rent by 15% for the Rochester
property and 10% for the St. Cloud property. As a result of
these amendments, TLS submitted a request to the bankruptcy court
to assume the Leases. The request was approved by the court.
Through June 30, 2008, TLS paid all rent due under the Leases as
amended.
In August 2008, TLS completed an asset sale to Timberlodge
Steakhouse Acquisition, LLC ("TSA"), a subsidiary of Taher Food
Management, a Minneapolis-based food services company. After the
asset sale, TLS reported to its creditors that it was insolvent
and would be unable to pay amounts owed to unsecured creditors.
As a result, the Partnership will not be able to collect the July
rent for the properties. In exchange for a rent reduction of
approximately 12%, TSA entered into Lease amendments, effective
August 1, 2008, for both properties and assumed the
responsibilities of the tenant. At September 30, 2008, based on
the Lease amendments and an analysis of market conditions in the
area, the Partnership recognized a $175,000 adjustment to
decrease the estimated net realizable value of the properties.
Management believes inflation has not significantly
affected 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. 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.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On October 16, 2007, the Limited Partners approved a
proposal to initiate the final disposition, liquidation and
distribution of all of the Partnership's properties and assets.
As a result, the Managing General Partner is proceeding with the
planned liquidation of the Partnership. If the Partnership sells
its remaining property in 2009, the Partnership anticipates
liquidation to occur by December 31, 2009.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, while in the
liquidation phase, the Partnership's Net Assets in Liquidation
decreased $26,706 as a result of distributions paid to the
Partners in excess of cash generated from operating activities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, while in the
liquidation phase, the Partnership's Net Assets in Liquidation
decreased $25,586 as a result of distributions paid to the
Partners in excess of cash generated from operating activities.
The Partnership's primary use of cash flow is distribution
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.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the
Partnership declared distributions of $35,364 and $42,124,
respectively. The Limited Partners received distributions of
$34,011 and $40,704 and the General Partners received
distributions of $1,353 and $1,420 for the periods, respectively.
During the first three months of 2009 and 2008, the Partnership
distributed net sale proceeds of $24,242 and $31,010 to the
Limited and General Partners as part of their quarterly
distributions, which represented a return of capital of $1.23 and
$1.57 per Limited Partnership Unit, respectively. The proceeds
were generated from sales completed prior to 2007.
The continuing rent payments from the properties, together
with the Partnership's cash reserve, should be adequate to fund
continuing distributions and meet other Partnership obligations.
The Economy and Market Conditions
The impact of conditions in the current economy, including
the turmoil in the credit markets, has adversely affected many
real estate companies. However, the absence of mortgage
financing on the Partnership's properties eliminates the risks of
foreclosure and debt-refinancing that can negatively impact the
value and distributions of leveraged real estate companies.
Nevertheless, a prolonged economic downturn may adversely affect
the operations of the Partnership's tenant and its cash flows.
If the tenant were to default on its lease obligations, the
Partnership's income would decrease, its distributions would
likely be reduced and the value of its properties might decline.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008, general economic
conditions caused the volume of property sales to slow
dramatically for all real estate sellers. These conditions may
make it more difficult for the Partnership to sell its remaining
properties at acceptable prices, which it must do in order to
complete its liquidation.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not required for a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of
management, including its President and Chief Financial Officer,
the Managing General Partner of the Partnership evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")). Based
upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Financial Officer
of the Managing General Partner concluded that, as of the end of
the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective in ensuring that information required
to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
management, including the President and Chief Financial Officer
of the Managing General Partner, in a manner that allows timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
During the most recent period covered by this report,
there has been no change in our internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Managing General Partner in accordance with the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement. Units tendered to the Partnership are
redeemed at the purchase price established for the quarter in
which the Partnership received a notice at least 60 days prior to
the repurchase dates of January 1st, April 1st, July 1st and
October 1st subject to the following limitations. 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. During the period covered by this report, the
Partnership did not purchase any Units.
