NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2003

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 for Del Taco Restaurant Properties II (the Partnership or the Company). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Partnership’s financial position at June 30, 2003, the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.

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 27,006 in 2003 and 2002.

Pursuant to the partnership agreement, annual partnership income or loss is allocated one percent to Del Taco, Inc. (Del Taco or 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 previously allocated. Additional gains will be allocated 15 percent to the General Partner and 85 percent to the limited partners.

NOTE 3 — LEASING ACTIVITIES

The Partnership leases certain properties for operation of restaurants to Del Taco on a triple net basis. The leases are for terms of 35 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 2021 to 2022. There is no minimum rental under any of the leases.

For the three months ended June 30, 2003, the five restaurants operated by Del Taco, for which the Partnership is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of $1,267,135 and unaudited net income of $109,325 as compared to $1,288,374 and $97,003, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2002. Net income by restaurant includes charges for general and administrative expenses incurred in connection with supervision of restaurant operations and interest expense.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the five restaurants operated by Del Taco, for which the Partnership is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of $2,425,161 and unaudited net income of $200,268 as compared to $2,482,101 and $190,476, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2002.

NOTE 4 — TRANSACTIONS WITH DEL TACO

The receivable from Del Taco, Inc. consists primarily of rent accrued for the month of June. The June rent was collected in July 2003.

Del Taco 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 for operation under the Del Taco trade name.

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

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Del Taco Restaurant Properties II (the Partnership or the Company) offered limited partnership units for sale between September 1984 and December 1985. 15% of the $6.751 million raised through sale of limited partnership units was used to pay commissions to brokers and to reimburse Del Taco, Inc. (the General Partner or Del Taco) for offering costs incurred. Approximately $5.6 million of the remaining funds were used to acquire sites and build seven restaurants. Two restaurants were sold in 1994.

The five 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, competition, consumer demand and preference for fast food, in general, and for Mexican-American food in particular.

Results of Operations

The Partnership owned seven properties that were under long-term lease to Del Taco for restaurant operations. Two restaurants were sold in 1994 and five are currently operating.

The following table sets forth rental revenue earned by restaurant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002:

  $ 152,056     $ 154,605     $ 291,019     $ 297,852  
 
   
     
     
     
 

     The Partnership receives rental revenues equal to 12 percent of gross sales from the restaurants. The Partnership earned rental revenue of $152,056 during the three month period ended June 30, 2003, which represents a decrease of $2,549 from 2002. The Partnership earned rental revenue of $291,019 during the six month period ended June 30, 2003, which represents a decrease of $6,833 from 2002. The changes in rental revenue between 2002 and 2003 are directly attributable to changes in sales levels at the restaurants under lease.

    100.00 %     100.00 %     100.00 %     100.00 %
 
   
     
     
     
 

General and administrative costs for the three and six month periods ended June 30, increased from 2002 to 2003 due to costs incurred in changing auditors and increased costs for printing and mailing, and audit and tax preparation fees.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2003, net income decreased by $2,226 from 2002 to 2003 due to the decrease in revenues of $2,549 and the $15 increase in general and administrative expenses partially offset by the $338 increase in interest and other income. For the six month period ended June 30, 2003, net income decreased by $15,772 from 2002 to 2003 due to a decrease in revenues of $6,833 and the $9,017 increase in general and administrative expenses partially offset by the $78 increase in interest and other income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“Interpretation 45”), an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. Interpretation 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. Interpretation 45’s initial recognition and initial measurement provisions are effective on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of Interpretation 45 effective December 31, 2002 and has not entered into any guarantees since December 31, 2002.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“Interpretation 46”), an interpretation of ARB No. 51. Interpretation 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. Interpretation 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company believes it has no variable interest entities to which Interpretation 46 would apply.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, as well as disclosures included elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q are based upon the Partnerships financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Partnership believes the critical accounting policies that most impact the financial statements are described below. A summary of the significant accounting policies of the Partnership can be found in Note 1 to the Financial Statements which is included in the Partnership’s December 31, 2002 Form 10-K.

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives which are 20 years for land improvements, 35 years for buildings and improvements, and 10 years for machinery and equipment.

The Partnership accounts for property and equipment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets.” SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating long-lived assets held for use, an impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying value of the asset. Once a determination has been made that an impairment loss should be recognized for long-lived assets, various assumptions and estimates are used to determine fair value including, among others, estimated costs of construction and development, recent sales of comparable properties and the opinions of fair value prepared by independent real estate appraisers. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Item 2a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

None.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

  (a)   Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures:
 
      Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic Securities and Exchange Commission Filings.
 
  (b)   Changes in internal controls:
 
      There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
 
  (c)   Asset-Backed issuers:
