NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2002

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the partnership’s financial position at June 30, 2002, the results of operations and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.

NOTE 2 — NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT

Net income per limited partnership unit is based upon the weighted average number of units outstanding during the periods presented which amounted to 165,375 in 2002 and 2001.

Pursuant to the partnership agreement, annual partnership income or loss is allocated one percent to the General Partner and 99 percent to the limited partners. Partnership gains from any sale or refinancing will be allocated one percent to the General Partner and 99 percent to the limited partners until allocated gains and profits equal losses, distributions and syndication costs, and until each class of limited partners receive their priority return as defined in the partnership agreement. Additional gains will be allocated 12 percent to the General Partner and 88 percent to the limited partners.

NOTE 3 — LEASING ACTIVITIES

The partnership leases certain properties for operation of restaurants to Del Taco, Inc. (“Del Taco”) on a triple net basis. The leases are for terms of 32 years commencing with the completion of the restaurant facility located on each property and require monthly rentals equal to 12 percent of the gross sales of the restaurants. The leases terminate in the years 2023 to 2024. There is no minimum rental under any of the Leases.

For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the one restaurant operated by a Del Taco franchisee, for which the partnership is the lessor, had unaudited sales of $597,491 as compared with $546,457 during the same period in 2001.

NOTE 4 — TRANSACTIONS WITH DEL TACO

The receivable from the General Partner consists primarily of rent accrued for the month of June. The June rent was collected on July 15, 2002.

Del Taco, Inc. serves in the capacity of general partner in other partnerships which are engaged in the business of operating restaurants, and three other partnerships which were formed for the purpose of acquiring real property in California for construction of Mexican-American restaurants for lease under long-term agreements to Del Taco, Inc. for operation under the Del Taco trade name.

In addition, see Note 5 with respect to certain distributions to the General Partner.

NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTIONS

On July 22, 2002, a distribution to the limited partners of $77,561 or approximately $.47 per limited partnership unit, was approved. Such distribution was paid July 29, 2002. The General Partner also received a distribution of $783 with respect to its 1% partnership interest.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The partnership offered limited partnership units for sale between June 1987 and June 1988. 14.5% of the $4.135 million raised through sale of limited partnership units was used to pay commissions to brokers and to reimburse the General Partner for offering costs incurred. Approximately $3 million of the remaining funds were used to acquire sites and build three restaurants. In February of 1992, approximately $442,000 raised during the offering but not required to acquire sites and build restaurants was distributed to the limited partners.

The three restaurants leased to Del Taco make up almost all of the income producing assets of the partnership. Therefore, the business of the partnership is almost entirely dependent on the success of the Del Taco trade name restaurants that lease the properties. The success of the restaurants is dependent on a large variety of factors, including, but not limited to, consumer demand and preference for fast food, in general, and for Mexican-American food in particular.

Results of Operations

The partnership owns three properties that are under long-term lease to Del Taco for restaurant operations (Del Taco, in turn, has sub-leased one of the restaurants to a Del Taco franchisee).

The following table sets forth rental revenue earned by restaurant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001:

The partnership receives rental revenues equal to 12 percent of gross sales from the restaurants plus supplemental rent as required by the Partnership agreement. The partnership earned rental revenue of $90,995 during the three month period ended June 30, 2002, which represents an increase of $2,036 from 2001. The partnership earned rental revenue of $176,189 during the six month period ended June 30, 2002, which represents an increase of $6,002 from 2001. The changes in rental revenue between 2002 and 2001 are directly attributable to changes in sales levels at the restaurants under lease.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — continued

The following table breaks down general and administrative expenses by type of expense:

General and administrative costs for the six month period ended June 30, increased from 2001 to 2002 due to increased costs for income tax preparation, annual audit fees and costs associated with leasing software.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2002, net income increased by $774 from 2001 to 2002 due to the increase in revenues of $1,796 which was partially offset by the $1,022 increase in general and administrative expenses. For the six month period ended June 30, 2002, net income increased by $2,714 from 2001 to 2002 due to an increase in revenues of $4,800 which was partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses of $2,086.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30. It addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets to be disposed of. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Management adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
