DIVALL INSURED INCOME PROPERTIES 2 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with DiVall Insured Income Properties 2 Limited Partnerships (the Partnership) 2004 annual audited financial statements within Form 10-K.
These unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, which are in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the Partnerships financial position as of March 31, 2005, and the statements of income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
DiVall Insured Income Properties 2 Limited Partnership was formed on November 18, 1987, pursuant to the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Wisconsin. The initial capital, contributed during 1987, consisted of $300, representing aggregate capital contributions of $200 by the former general partners and $100 by the Initial Limited Partner. The minimum offering requirements were met and escrowed subscription funds were released to the Partnership as of April 7, 1988. On January 23, 1989, the former general partners exercised their option to increase the offering from 25,000 interests to 50,000 interests and to extend the offering period to a date no later than August 22, 1989. On June 30, 1989, the general partners exercised their option to extend the offering period to a date no later than February 22, 1990. The offering closed on February 22, 1990, at which point 46,280.3 interests had been sold, resulting in total offering proceeds, net of underwriting compensation and other offering costs, of $39,358,468.
The Partnership is currently engaged in the business of owning and operating its investment portfolio of commercial real estate properties (the Properties.) The Properties are leased on a triple net basis to, and operated by, franchisors or franchisees of national, regional, and local retail chains under long-term leases. The lessees are primarily fast food, family style, and casual/theme restaurants, but also include a video rental store and a pre-school. At March 31, 2005, the Partnership owned 20 properties.
Rental revenue from investment properties is recognized on the straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease. Percentage rents are only accrued when the tenant has reached the sales breakpoint stipulated in the lease.
Tenant accounts receivable are comprised of billed but uncollected amounts due from tenants for monthly rents and other charges, and amounts due for scheduled rent increases for which rentals have been earned and will be collected in the future under the terms of the leases. Receivables are recorded at Managements estimate of the amounts that will be collected.
The Partnership considers its operations to be in only one segment, the operation of a portfolio of commercial real estate leased on a triple net basis, and therefore no segment disclosure is made.
Depreciation of the properties and improvements are provided on a straight-line basis over 31.5 years, which are the estimated useful lives of the buildings and improvements. Equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 5 to 7 years.
6
Deferred charges represent leasing commissions paid when properties are leased and upon the negotiated extension of a lease. Leasing commissions are capitalized and amortized over the life of the lease.
Real estate taxes, insurance and ground rent on the Partnerships investment properties are the responsibility of the tenant. However, when a tenant fails to make the required tax payments or when a property becomes vacant, the Partnership makes the appropriate payment to avoid possible foreclosure of the property. Such taxes, insurance and ground rent are accrued in the period in which the liability is incurred. The Partnership owns one (1) restaurant, which is located on a parcel of land where it has entered into a long-term ground lease. The tenant, Kentucky Fried Chicken, is responsible for the $3,400 per month ground lease payment.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit with financial institutions and highly liquid temporary investments with initial maturities of 90 days or less.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Partnership to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments. The Partnership generally maintains cash and cash equivalents in federally insured accounts.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities) at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Assets disposed of or deemed to be classified as held for sale require the reclassification of current and previous years operations to discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144).
The Partnership periodically reviews its long-lived assets, primarily real estate, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Partnerships review involves comparing current and future operating performance of the assets, the most significant of which is undiscounted operating cash flows, to the carrying value of the assets. Based on this analysis, a provision for possible loss is recognized, if any.
The Partnership recognized no income from discontinued operations in the three-month period ending March 31, 2005. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of approximately $17,000. The 2004 income from discontinued operations is attributable to the reclassification of the Miami Subs restaurant property to property held for sale in the Fourth Quarter of 2003 (the property was sold in June 2004).
7
The components of discontinued operations included in the condensed statements of income for the three- month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, are outlined below.

The Partnership will be dissolved on November 30, 2010, or earlier upon the prior occurrence of any of the following events: (a) the disposition of all properties of the Partnership; (b) the written determination by the General Partner that the Partnerships assets may constitute plan assets for purposes of ERISA; (c) the agreement of Limited Partners owning a majority of the outstanding interests to dissolve the Partnership; or (d) the dissolution, bankruptcy, death, withdrawal, or incapacity of the last remaining General Partner, unless an additional General Partner is elected previously by a majority of the Limited Partners. During the Second Quarter of 2003, a consent solicitation was circulated, which if approved would have authorized the sale of the Partnerships assets and dissolution of the Partnership (the 2003 Consent). A majority of the Limited Partners did not vote in favor of the 2003 Consent. Therefore, the Partnership continues to operate as a going concern. Another consent solicitation is scheduled to be circulated during the Second Quarter of 2005, which if approved would authorize the sale of the Partnerships assets and dissolution of the Partnership (the 2005 Consent).
No provision for federal income taxes has been made, as any liability for such taxes would be that of the individual partners rather than the Partnership. At December 31, 2004, the tax basis of the Partnerships assets exceeded the amounts reported in the accompanying 2004 financial statements by approximately $6,959,000.
2. REGULATORY INVESTIGATION:
A preliminary investigation during 1992 by the Office of Commissioner of Securities for the State of Wisconsin and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Investigation) revealed that during at least the four years ended December 31, 1992, the former general partners of the Partnership, Gary J. DiVall (DiVall) and Paul E. Magnuson (Magnuson) had transferred substantial cash assets of the Partnership and two affiliated publicly registered partnerships, DiVall Insured Income Fund Limited Partnership (DiVall 1) and DiVall Income Properties 3 Limited Partnership (DiVall 3) (collectively the Partnerships) to various other entities previously sponsored by or otherwise affiliated with DiVall and Magnuson. The unauthorized transfers were in violation of the respective Partnership Agreements and resulted, in part, from material weaknesses in the internal control system of the Partnerships.
Subsequent to discovery, and in response to the regulatory inquiries, a third-party Permanent Manager, The Provo Group, Inc. (TPG), was appointed (effective February 8, 1993) to assume responsibility for daily operations and
8
assets of the Partnerships as well as to develop and execute a plan of restoration for the Partnerships. Effective May 26, 1993, the Limited Partners, by written consent of a majority of interests, elected the Permanent Manager, TPG, as General Partner. TPG terminated the former general partners by accepting their tendered resignations.
In 1993, the current General Partner estimated an aggregate recovery of $3 million for the Partnerships. At that time, an allowance was established against amounts due from former general partners and their affiliates reflecting the estimated $3 million receivable. This net receivable was allocated among the Partnerships based on each Partnerships pro rata share of the total misappropriation, and restoration costs and recoveries have been allocated based on the same percentage. Through March 31, 2005, $5,839,000 of recoveries have been received which exceeded the original estimate of $3 million. As a result, from January 1, 1996 through March 31, 2005, the Partnership has recognized a total of $1,151,000 as recovery of amounts previously written off in the statements of income, which represents its share of the excess recovery. The current General Partner continues to pursue recoveries of the misappropriated funds, however, no further significant recoveries are anticipated.
3. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES:
The total cost of the investment properties and specialty leasehold improvements includes the original purchase price plus acquisition fees and other capitalized costs paid to an affiliate of the former general partners.
As of March 31, 2005, the Partnership owned 18 fully constructed fast-food restaurants, a video store, and a preschool. The 20 properties are composed of the following: ten (10) Wendys restaurants, one (1) Dennys restaurant, one (1) Applebees restaurant, one (1) Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken restaurant, one (1) Hooters restaurant, one (1) Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, (1) Chinese Super Buffet restaurant, one (1) Blockbuster Video store, one (1) Sunrise Preschool, one (1) Panda Buffet Restaurant, and one (1) Daytonas- All Sports Café. The 20 properties are located in a total of ten (10) states.
On January 1, 2002, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement requires current and historical results from operations for disposed properties and assets classified as held for sale that occur subsequent to January 1, 2002 to be reclassified separately as discontinued operations.
The Partnership recognized no income from discontinued operations in the three-month period ending March 31, 2005. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of approximately $17,000. The 2004 income from discontinued operations is primarily attributable to the reclassification of the Miami Subs restaurant property to property held for sale in the Fourth Quarter of 2003 (the property was sold in June 2004).
The following summarizes significant developments, by property, for properties with such developments.
Popeyes- Park Forest, IL
Per the terms of the original lease for the Popeyes location, the tenant (Popeyes) was (i) to timely pay as they come due all taxes charged to the property, and (ii) required to pay percentage rents equal to 8% of gross sales in excess of $619,449. From 2001 to 2003, Popeyes had accrued approximately $123,000 of delinquent percentage rent payments. In addition, the tenant failed to pay the 2002 property taxes of approximately $40,000, which were due and payable to Cook County, Illinois in 2003, as well as approximately $5,000 in assessed late fees. In the Fourth Quarter of 2003, the Partnership accrued approximately $86,000 in property taxes, which included the 2002 property taxes and associated late fees, as well as the estimated 2003 property taxes that were to be due in 2004. The 2002 property taxes and late fees were paid by the Partnership in January 2004 and the first installment for the
9
2003 taxes was paid in February 2004. In March 2004, Management learned that the tenant had also failed to pay the $31,000 second installment of its 2001 property taxes. The Partnership paid the 2001 delinquent property taxes, as well as approximately $10,000 in assessed late fees, in March 2004. The Partnership was reimbursed in full for the approximately $107,000 in delinquent property taxes paid by the Partnership on Popeyes behalf (the Partnership received $25,000 in each April, May, June, and July 2004 and received the final payment of approximately $7,000 in September 2004). The second installment related to 2003 was paid by the Partnership in September 2004 through escrow payments received by the Partnership from Popeyes in the Fourth Quarter of 2004.
A Release and Settlement Agreement was executed with Popeyes in November 2004. In settlement of all claims and disputes the following significant items were agreed to: (i) Popeyes is to make monthly escrow property tax payments applicable to 2004 and for future property taxes due throughout the remaining lease term obligation; (ii) Popeyes gross sales breakpoint was increased to $1,000,000 and therefore, percentage rent shall be an amount equal to 8% of gross sales in excess of $1,000,000, and (iii) Popeyes delinquent percentage rents were waived. The restructured lease brings Popeyes occupancy costs more in line with existing market conditions.
Due to past defaults, Popeyes 2004 estimated property taxes were prorated and accrued on a monthly basis by the Partnership. In September 2004, the Partnership began billing Popeyes monthly property tax escrow charges. Escrow payments of approximately $7,400, $7,400 and $6,300 were received by the Partnership in December 2004, January 2005, and March 2005, respectively. These payments resulted in full coverage of Popeyes 2004 first installment of property taxes paid by the Partnership to the taxing authority in February 2005. During 2004, property tax escrow charges applicable to 2004 property taxes were reflected in the financial statements as escrow payments were actually received, and were recorded as a reversal of 2004 property tax expense equal to the amount of payment received. During 2005, property tax escrow charges applicable to 2004 property taxes were reflected in the financial statements as escrow payments were actually received, and were recorded as a property tax recovery income equal to the amount of payment received.
As of March 31, 2005, Popeyes is delinquent approximately $6,200 in property tax escrow billings related to the 2004 second property tax installment which is anticipated to be due in September 2005. The outstanding billings are not recorded in the financial statements (as stated in the above paragraph, the 2004 property taxes were accrued at December 31, 2004 by the Partnership and therefore, property tax escrow charges in 2005 which are related to the 2004 property taxes are reflected in the financial statements as escrow payments are actually received by the Partnership). The 2005 estimated property taxes are not being prorated and accrued on a monthly basis by the Partnership.
Daytonas- All Sports Café - Des Moines, IA
In July 2004, the Partnership paid Daytonas- All Sports Cafés delinquent 2002 property taxes balance of approximately $15,000. Daytonas reimbursed the Partnership $5,000 in each of August, September and October of 2004. In the Third Quarter of 2004, due to the property tax default, Management requested that Daytonas escrow with the Partnership their next property tax installment which was to be due in the First Quarter of 2005. Escrow payments of approximately $800 were held by the Partnership at December 31, 2004. Daytonas met its remaining property tax escrow requirements in February 2005 and the Partnership paid the property tax installment in March 2005.
Former Miami Subs- Palm Beach, FL Property
A sales contract was executed in January 2004 for the sale of the property in the Second Quarter of 2004 at a sales price of $650,000. The closing date on the sale of the property was June 2004 and the net sales proceeds totaled
10
approximately $606,000. A net gain on the sale of $211,000 was recognized in the Second Quarter of 2004. Closing and other sale related costs amounted to $44,000, which included sales commissions totaling $39,000, of which $19,500 was paid to a General Partner affiliate and $19,500 was paid to a non-affiliated broker.
At the time of closing the former tenant, DiFede Finance Group (DiFede), was delinquent $17,000 in past rent (after the application of a $15,000 security deposit). The former tenant also owed the Partnership approximately $13,360 in real estate taxes as the Partnership paid the propertys delinquent 2003 real estate taxes in June 2004. Management continued to pursue legal remedies to collect the former tenants total past due balances. Due to the uncertainty of collection, fifty percent (50%) of the total outstanding receivable balance was reserved in June 2004.
In November 2004, a Settlement Agreement (Agreement) was executed with DiFede. Per the Agreement the former tenant agreed to pay the Partnership by December 31, 2004 approximately $36,000 in past due rent, late charges, related attorney and court fees and other miscellaneous items. However, the settlement payment per the Agreement has not been received by the Partnership. Further legal action was taken by the Partnership and the Circuit Court in Broward County, Florida entered a final judgment (the Judgment) against DiFede in early January 2005, awarding approximately $42,000 in damages to the Partnership. Due to the uncertainty of collection, the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the total outstanding receivable balance was written-off. The receivable balance and applicable allowance were removed from the balance sheet at December 31, 2004.

In August 2004, the Partnership sold a piece of land adjacent to the former Twin Falls property for $5,000. The land had no recorded value.
Other Investment in Properties Information
According to the Partnership Agreement, the former general partners were to commit 80% of the original offering proceeds to investment in properties. Upon the close of the offering, approximately 75% of the original proceeds were invested in the Partnerships properties.
At March 31, 2005, the owners of the Panda Buffet property have an option to purchase the property at a price, that exceeds the original cost of the property less accumulated depreciation. The current General Partner is not aware of any unfavorable purchase options in relation to the original cost with other properties.
4. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT:
The Partnership Agreement, prior to an amendment effective May 26, 1993, provided that, for financial reporting and income tax purposes, net profits or losses from operations were allocated 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the general partners. The Partnership Agreement also provided for quarterly cash distributions from Net Cash Receipts, as defined, within 60 days after the last day of the first full calendar quarter following the date of release of the subscription funds from escrow, and each calendar quarter thereafter, in which such funds were available for distribution with respect to such quarter. Such distributions were to be made 90% to Limited Partners and 10% to the former general partners, provided, however, that quarterly distributions were to be cumulative and were not to be made to the former general partners unless and until each Limited Partner had received a distribution from Net Cash Receipts in an amount equal to 10% per annum, cumulative simple return on his or her Adjusted Original Capital, as defined, from the Return Calculation Date, as defined.
11
Net Proceeds, as originally defined, were to be distributed as follows: (a) to the Limited Partners, an amount equal to 100% of their Adjusted Original Capital; (b) then, to the Limited Partners, an amount necessary to provide each Limited Partner a Liquidation Preference equal to a 13.5% per annum, cumulative simple return on Adjusted Original Capital from the Return Calculation date including in the calculation of such return all prior distributions of Net Cash Receipts and any prior distributions of Net Proceeds under this clause; and (c) then, to Limited Partners, 90% and to the General Partners, 10%, of the remaining Net Proceeds available for distribution.
On May 26, 1993, pursuant to the results of a solicitation of written consents from the Limited Partners, the Partnership Agreement was amended to replace the former general partners and amend various sections of the agreement. The former general partners were replaced as General Partner by The Provo Group, Inc., an Illinois corporation. Under the terms of the amendment, net profits or losses from operations are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the current General Partner. The amendment also provided for distributions from Net Cash Receipts to be made 99% to Limited Partners and 1% to the current General Partner, provided that quarterly distributions are cumulative and are not to be made to the current General Partner unless and until each Limited Partner has received a distribution from Net Cash Receipts in an amount equal to 10% per annum, cumulative simple return on his or her Adjusted Original Capital, as defined, from the Return Calculation Date, as defined, except to the extent needed by the General Partner to pay its federal and state income taxes on the income allocated to it attributable to such year. Distributions paid to the General Partner are based on the estimated tax liability resulting from allocated income. Subsequent to the filing of the General Partners income tax returns, a true up with actual distributions is made.
The provisions regarding distribution of Net Proceeds, as defined, were also amended to provide that Net Proceeds are to be distributed as follows: (a) to the Limited Partners, an amount equal to 100% of their Adjusted Original Capital; (b) then, to the Limited Partners, an amount necessary to provide each Limited Partner a Liquidation Preference equal to a 13.5% per annum, cumulative simple return on Adjusted Original Capital from the Return Calculation Date including in the calculation of such return on all prior distributions of Net Cash Receipts and any prior distributions of Net Proceeds under this clause, except to the extent needed by the General Partner to pay its federal and state income tax on the income allocated to it attributable to such year; and (c) then, to Limited Partners, 99%, and to the General Partner, 1%, of remaining Net Proceeds available for distribution.
Additionally, per the amendment of the Partnership Agreement dated May 26, 1993, the total compensation paid to all persons for the sale of the investment properties is limited to a competitive real estate commission, not to exceed 6% of the contract price for the sale of the property. The General Partner may receive up to one-half of the competitive real estate commission, not to exceed 3%, provided that the General Partner provides a substantial amount of services in the sales effort. It is further provided that a portion of the amount of such fees payable to the General Partner is subordinated to its success in recovering the funds misappropriated by the former general partners. (See Note 7)
Effective June 1, 1993, the Partnership Agreement was amended to (i) change the definition of Distribution Quarter to be consistent with calendar quarters, and (ii) change the distribution provisions to subordinate the General Partners share of distributions from Net Cash Receipts and Net Proceeds, except to the extent necessary for the General Partner to pay its federal and state income taxes on Partnership income allocated to the General Partner. Because these amendments do not adversely affect the rights of the Limited Partners, pursuant to section 10.2 of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner made the amendments without a vote of the Limited Partners.

5. LEASES:
Original lease terms for the majority of the investment properties are generally 10 - 20 years from their inception. The leases generally provide for minimum rents and additional rents based upon percentages of gross sales in excess of specified sales breakpoints. The lessee is responsible for occupancy costs such as maintenance, insurance, real estate taxes, and utilities. Accordingly, these amounts are not reflected in the statements of income except in circumstances where, in managements opinion, the Partnership will be required to pay such costs to preserve its assets (i.e., payment of past-due real estate taxes). Management has determined that the leases are properly classified as operating leases; therefore, rental income is reported when earned on a straight-line basis and the cost of the property, excluding the cost of the land, is depreciated over its estimated useful life.
As of March 31, 2005, aggregate minimum operating lease payments to be received under the leases for the Partnerships properties are as follows:
Year ending December 31, |
|||
2005 |
$ | 1,670,908 | |
2006 |
1,580,408 | ||
2007 |
1,563,325 | ||
2008 |
1,416,575 | ||
2009 |
1,255,593 | ||
Thereafter |
6,632,580 | ||
$ | 14,119,389 | ||
Percentage rentals included in rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were $4,148.
Base rents for WenCoast Restaurants, a franchisee of Wendys restaurants, accounted for 51% of total operating base rents for 2004. For the three month period ended March 31, 2005, Wencoast base rents accounted for 51% of total operating base rents.
6. TRANSACTIONS WITH CURRENT GENERAL PARTNER AND ITS AFFILIATES:
The current General Partner was to receive a management fee (Base Fee) for managing the three original affiliated Partnerships equal to 4% of gross receipts, subject to a minimum of $300,000 annually, and a maximum annual reimbursement for office rent and related office overhead (Expense) of $25,000, as provided in the Permanent Manager Agreement (PMA). The Base Fee and the Expense reimbursement are subject to increases due to increases in the Consumer Price Index. The current General Partner receives a Base Fee for managing the Partnership equal to 4% of gross receipts and the Partnership is only responsible for its allocable share of such minimum and maximum annual amounts as indicated above (originally $159,000 minimum annual Base Fee and $13,250 Expense reimbursement). Effective March 1, 2005, the minimum annual Base Fee and the maximum Expense reimbursement increased by 2.67%, which represents the allowable annual Consumer Price Index adjustment per the PMA. Therefore, as of March 1, 2005, the minimum monthly Base Fee paid by the Partnership was raised to $17,750 and the maximum monthly Expense reimbursement was raised to $1,432.
For purposes of computing the 4% overall fee, gross receipts includes amounts recovered in connection with the misappropriation of assets by the former general partners and their affiliates. TPG has received fees from the Partnership totaling $56,530 to date on the amounts recovered, which includes 2005 and 2004 fees of $134 and $537, respectively. The fees received from the Partnership on the amounts recovered reduce the 4% minimum fee by that same amount.
13
Amounts paid and/or accrued to the current General Partner and its affiliates for the three -month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, are as follows:
Current General Partner |
Incurred for the Three-month Period ended March 31, 2005 |
Incurred for the Three-month Period ended March 31, 2004 | ||||
Management fees |
$ | 52,192 | $ | 50,998 | ||
Restoration fees |

Overhead allowance |
4,222 | 4,122 | ||||
Reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses |
2,251 | 1,250 | ||||
Cash distribution |
970 | 915 | ||||
$ | 59,769 | $ | 57,381 | |||
7. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:
According to the Partnership Agreement, as amended, the current General Partner may receive a disposition fee not to exceed 3% of the contract price of the sale of investment properties. Fifty percent (50%) of all such disposition fees earned by the current General Partner is to be escrowed until the aggregate amount of recovery of the funds misappropriated from the Partnerships by the former general partners is greater than $4,500,000. Upon reaching such recovery level, full disposition fees will thereafter be payable and fifty percent (50%) of the previously escrowed amounts will be paid to the current General Partner. At such time as the recovery exceeds $6,000,000 in the aggregate, the remaining escrowed disposition fees shall be paid to the current General Partner. If such levels of recovery are not achieved, the current General Partner will contribute the amounts escrowed towards the recovery. In lieu of an escrow, 50% of all such disposition fees have been paid directly to a restoration account and then distributed among the three original Partnerships. Fifty percent (50%) of the total amount paid to the restoration account was refunded to the current General Partner during March 1996 after exceeding the recovery level of $4,500,000. The General Partner does not expect any future refunds, as the possibility of achieving the $6,000,000 recovery threshold appears remote.
8. PMA INDEMNIFICATION TRUST:
The PMA provides that the Permanent Manager will be indemnified from any claims or expenses arising out of or relating to the Permanent Manager serving in such capacity or as substitute general partner, so long as such claims do not arise from fraudulent or criminal misconduct by the Permanent Manager. The PMA provides that the Partnership fund this indemnification obligation by establishing a reserve of up to $250,000 of Partnership assets which would not be subject to the claims of the Partnerships creditors. An Indemnification Trust (Trust) serving such purposes has been established at United Missouri Bank, N.A. The corpus of the Trust has been fully funded with Partnership assets since 1994. Funds are invested in U.S. Treasury securities. In addition, $139,529 of earnings has been credited to the Trust as of March 31, 2005. The rights of the Permanent Manager to the Trust shall be terminated upon the earliest to occur of the following events: (i) the written release by the Permanent Manager of any and all interest in the Trust; (ii) the expiration of the longest statute of limitations relating to a potential claim which might be brought against the Permanent Manager and which is subject to indemnification; or (iii) a determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Permanent Manager shall have no liability to any
14
person with respect to a claim which is subject to indemnification under the PMA. At such time as the indemnity provisions expire or the full indemnity is paid, any funds remaining in the Trust will revert back to the general funds of the Partnership.
9. FORMER GENERAL PARTNERS CAPITAL ACCOUNTS:
The capital account balance of the former general partners as of May 26, 1993, the date of their removal as general partners, was a deficit of $840,229. At December 31, 1993, the former general partners deficit capital account balance in the amount of $840,229 was reallocated to the Limited Partners.
10. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:
DeDan bankruptcy
During January 2004, the Partnership received a one-time payment of approximately $25,000 from the Bankruptcy Court in relation to bankruptcy litigation. In the late 1980s, the Partnership leased properties to DeDan, Inc., and the leases were guaranteed by the owner of DeDan, Dan Fore. These leases went into default in the early 1990s and the Partnership obtained possession of the properties and re-leased them to various entities. The original lessee, DeDan and Dan Fore, filed for bankruptcy and the Partnership filed a claim in the Bankruptcy Court for damages incurred due to the lease defaults. The payment received was the result of extended litigation in the Bankruptcy Court. No additional payments are anticipated.
Phoenix Foods Preference Claim
The trustee in the Phoenix Foods bankruptcy made a claim seeking to recover from the Partnership alleged preferential payments by Phoenix Foods to the Partnership in the amount of approximately $16,500. The payments the trustee is seeking to recover were rent payments received in the ordinary course of business prior to Phoenix Foods bankruptcy. The Partnership does not believe such payments were preferential under the Bankruptcy Code and is vigorously contesting such characterization. A verbal settlement of this claim was reached in November 2004 and the Partnership finalized such settlement in April of 2005. The tentative settlement calls for the bankruptcy trustee to release its preference claims and the Partnership to release its claims as an unsecured creditor in the Phoenix Foods bankruptcy. Although the Partnership believes its claims are valid, the Partnership determined that the time and cost of pursuing such claims exceeded the likely recovery given the bankrupts lack of assets from which to satisfy unsecured claims.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On May 13, 2005, the Partnership is scheduled to make distributions to the Limited Partners of $435,000 amounting to $9.40 per Interest.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Investment Properties and Net Investment in Direct Financing Leases
The Properties, including equipment held by the Partnership at March 31, 2005, were originally purchased at a price, including acquisition costs, of approximately $15,997,585.
15
The total cost of the investment properties and specialty leasehold improvements includes the original purchase price plus acquisition fees and other capitalized costs paid to an affiliate of the former general partners.
As of March 31, 2005, the Partnership owned 18 fully constructed fast-food restaurants, a video store, and a preschool. The 20 properties are composed of the following: ten (10) Wendys restaurants, one (1) Dennys restaurant, one (1) Applebees restaurant, one (1) Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken restaurant, one (1) Hooters restaurant, one (1) Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, (1) Chinese Super Buffet restaurant, one (1) Blockbuster Video store, one (1) Sunrise Preschool, one (1) Panda Buffet Restaurant, and one (1) Daytonas- All Sports Café. The 20 properties are located in a total of ten (10) states.
On January 1, 2002, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement requires current and historical results from operations for disposed properties and assets classified as held for sale that occur subsequent to January 1, 2002 to be reclassified separately as discontinued operations.
The Partnership recognized no income from discontinued operations in the three-month period ending March 31, 2005. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of approximately $17,000. The 2004 income from discontinued operations is attributable to the reclassification of the Miami Subs restaurant property to property held for sale in the Fourth Quarter of 2003 (which was sold in June 2004).
The following summarizes significant developments, by Property, for properties with such developments (see comments in notes to condensed financial statements).
Popeyes- Park Forest, IL
Per the terms of the original lease for the Popeyes location, the tenant (Popeyes) was (i) to timely pay as they come due all taxes charged to the property, and (ii) required to pay percentage rents equal to 8% of gross sales in excess of $619,449. From 2001 to 2003, Popeyes had accrued approximately $123,000 of delinquent percentage rent payments. In addition, the tenant failed to pay the 2002 property taxes of approximately $40,000, which were due and payable to Cook County, Illinois in 2003, as well as approximately $5,000 in assessed late fees. In the Fourth Quarter of 2003 the Partnership accrued approximately $86,000 in property taxes, which included the 2002 property taxes and associated late fees, as well as the estimated 2003 property taxes that were to be due in 2004. The 2002 property taxes and late fees were paid by the Partnership in January 2004 and the first installment for the 2003 taxes was paid in February 2004. In March 2004, Management learned that the tenant had also failed to pay the $31,000 second installment of its 2001 property taxes. The Partnership paid the 2001 delinquent property taxes, as well as approximately $10,000 in assessed late fees, in March 2004. The Partnership was reimbursed in full for the approximately $107,000 in delinquent property taxes paid by the Partnership on Popeyes behalf (the Partnership received $25,000 in each April, May, June, and July 2004 and received the final payment of approximately $7,000 in September 2004). The second installment related to 2003 was paid by the Partnership in September 2004 through escrow payments received by the Partnership from Popeyes in the Fourth Quarter of 2004.
A Release and Settlement Agreement was executed with Popeyes in November 2004. In settlement of all claims and disputes the following significant items were agreed to: (i) Popeyes is to make monthly escrow property tax payments applicable to 2004 and for future property taxes due throughout the remaining lease term obligation; (ii) Popeyes gross sales breakpoint was increased to $1,000,000 and therefore, percentage rent shall be an amount equal to 8% of gross sales in excess of $1,000,000, and (iii) Popeyes delinquent percentage rents were waived. The restructured lease brings Popeyes occupancy costs more in line with existing market conditions.
16
Due to past defaults, Popeyes 2004 estimated property taxes were prorated and accrued on a monthly basis by the Partnership. In September 2004, the Partnership began billing Popeyes monthly property tax escrow charges. Escrow payments of approximately $7,400, $7,400 and $6,300 were received by the Partnership in December 2004, January 2005, and March 2005, respectively. These payments resulted in full coverage of Popeyes 2004 first installment of property taxes paid by the Partnership to the taxing authority in February 2005. During 2004, property tax escrow charges applicable to 2004 property taxes were reflected in the financial statements as escrow payments were actually received, and were recorded as a reversal of 2004 property tax expense equal to the amount of payment received. During 2005, property tax escrow charges applicable to 2004 property taxes were reflected in the financial statements as escrow payments were actually received, and were recorded as a property tax recovery income equal to the amount of payment received.
As of March 31, 2005, Popeyes is delinquent approximately $6,200 in property tax escrow billings related to the 2004 second property tax installment which is anticipated to be due in September 2005. The outstanding billings are not recorded in the financial statements (as stated in the above paragraph, the 2004 property taxes were accrued at December 31, 2004 by the Partnership and therefore, property tax escrow charges in 2005 which are related to the 2004 property taxes are reflected in the financial statements as escrow payments are actually received by the Partnership). The 2005 estimated property taxes are not being prorated and accrued on a monthly basis by the Partnership
Daytonas- All Sports Café - Des Moines, IA
In July 2004, the Partnership paid Daytonas- All Sports Cafés delinquent 2002 property taxes balance of approximately $15,000. Daytonas reimbursed the Partnership $5,000 in each of August, September and October of 2004. In the Third Quarter of 2004, due to the property tax default, Management requested that Daytonas escrow with the Partnership their next property tax installment which was to be due in the First Quarter of 2005. Escrow payments of approximately $800 were held by the Partnership at December 31, 2004. Daytonas met its remaining property tax escrow requirements in February 2005 and the Partnership paid the property tax installment in March 2005.
Former Miami Subs- Palm Beach, FL Property
A sales contract was executed in January 2004 for the sale of the property in the Second Quarter of 2004 at a sales price of $650,000. The closing date on the sale of the property was June 2004 and the net sales proceeds totaled approximately $606,000. A net gain on the sale of $211,000 was recognized in the Second Quarter of 2004. Closing and other sale related costs amounted to $44,000, which included sales commissions totaling $39,000, of which $19,500 was paid to a General Partner affiliate and $19,500 was paid to a non-affiliated broker.
At the time of closing the former tenant, DiFede Finance Group (DiFede), was delinquent $17,000 in past rent (after the application of a $15,000 security deposit). The former tenant also owed the Partnership approximately $13,360 in real estate taxes as the Partnership paid the propertys delinquent 2003 real estate taxes in June 2004. Management continued to pursue legal remedies to collect the former tenants total past due balances. Due to the uncertainty of collection, fifty percent (50%) of the total outstanding receivable balance was reserved in June 2004.
In November 2004, a Settlement Agreement (Agreement) was executed with DiFede. Per the Agreement the former tenant agreed to pay the Partnership by December 31, 2004 approximately $36,000 in past due rent, late
17
charges, related attorney and court fees and other miscellaneous items. However, the settlement payment per the Agreement has not been received by the Partnership. Further legal action was taken by the Partnership and the Circuit Court in Broward County, Florida entered a final judgment (the Judgment) against DiFede in early January 2005, awarding approximately $42,000 in damages to the Partnership. Due to the uncertainty of collection, the remaining fifty percent (50 %) of the total outstanding receivable balance was written-off. The receivable balance and applicable allowance were removed from the balance sheet at December 31, 2004.
Former Twin Falls, ID property
In August 2004, the Partnership sold a piece of land adjacent to the former Twin Falls property for $5,000. The land had no recorded value.
Other Investment in Properties Information
According to the Partnership Agreement, the former general partners were to commit 80% of the original offering proceeds to investment in properties. Upon the close of the offering, approximately 75% of the original proceeds were invested in the Partnerships properties.
At March 31, 2005, the owners of the Panda Buffet property have an option to purchase the property at a price, that exceeds the original cost of the property less accumulated depreciation. The current General Partner is not aware of any unfavorable purchase options in relation to the original cost with other properties.
Other Assets
Cash and cash equivalents, held by the Partnership, totaled approximately $1,149,000 at March 31, 2005 compared to $685,000 at December 31, 2004. Cash of $435,000 is anticipated to be used to fund the First Quarter 2005 distributions to Limited Partners in May 2005; cash of $67,000 is anticipated to be used for the payment of accounts payable and accrued expenses; and the remainder represents amounts deemed necessary to allow the Partnership to operate normally.
Cash generated through the operations of the Partnerships properties and sales of properties will provide the sources for funding future liquidity and Limited Partner distributions.
Property tax cash escrow amounted to approximately $717 and $8,300 at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. In December 2004, the Partnership received approximately $7,500 from Popeyes in relation to their 2004 first installment property tax payment which was due in the First Quarter of 2005 (the installment was paid by the Partnership in February 2005 and was fully funded by Popeyes). The balance at March 31, 2005 represents Popeyes March 2005 escrow payment towards the 2004 second installment which is scheduled to be due in September 2005. The Partnership has recorded the Popeyes receipts as property tax expense recoveries in the income statement, as the 2004 property taxes had been prorated monthly and accrued by the Partnership during 2004. (For further discussion see Note 3- Investment Properties.)
The Partnership established an Indemnification Trust (the Trust) during the Fourth Quarter of 1993, deposited $100,000 in the Trust during 1993 and completed funding of the Trust with $150,000 during 1994. The provision to establish the Trust was included in the Permanent Manager Agreement for the indemnification of TPG, in the absence of fraud or gross negligence, from any claims or liabilities that may arise from TPG acting as Permanent Manager or substitute general partner. The Trust is owned by the Partnership. For additional information regarding the Trust refer to Note 8 to the condensed financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.
18
Rents and other receivables amounted to approximately $16,000 at March 31, 2005 and represented outstanding 2004 percentage rent billings.
Property tax receivable at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 totaled approximately $3,600 and $5,200 respectively.
Deferred charges totaled approximately $257,000 and $260,000, net of accumulated amortization, at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Deferred charges represent leasing commissions are paid when properties are leased or upon the negotiated extension of a lease. Leasing commissions are capitalized and amortized over the life of the lease.
Liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued expenses at March 31, 2005, in the amount of $67,000, primarily represented the accruals of auditing, tax and data processing fees.
Property taxes payable at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 amounted to $25,000 and $48,000 respectively. Property taxes payable at December 31, 2004, primarily represented 2004 real estate taxes due for the Popeyes- Park Forest Property in 2005. The first installment was paid by the Partnership in the February 2005. In the First Quarter of 2005, approximately $14,000, in property tax escrow payments from Popeyes- Park Forest were recognized as property tax recoveries in the income statement. (For further discussion see Note 3- Investment Properties.)
Due to General Partner amounted to $1,400 at March 31, 2005 and primarily represented the General Partners First Quarter 2005 distributions.
Partners Capital
Net income for the year was allocated between the General Partner and the Limited Partners, 1% and 99%, respectively, as provided for in the Partnership Agreement as discussed more fully in Note 4 of the condensed financial statements included in Item 1 of this report. The former general partners deficit capital account balance was reallocated to the Limited Partners at December 31, 1993. Refer to Note 9 to the condensed financial statements included in Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding the reallocation.
Cash distributions to the Limited Partners and to the General Partner during 2005 of $425,000 and $970 respectively, have also been made in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership intends to pay First Quarter 2005 distributions of $435,000 on May 13, 2005.
Results of Operations
The Partnership reported income from continuing operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, in the amount of $243,000 compared to income from continuing operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 of $212,000. The variance in income from continuing operations in 2005 compared to 2004 is due primarily to: (i) the First Quarter 2005 collections and revenue recognition of $14,000 in property tax recoveries from Popeyes in relation to its 2004 property taxes which were accrued and expensed by the Partnership in 2004; (ii) increased investor communication expenditures in the First Quarter of 2005; (iii) increased income tax expenditures in the First Quarter of 2005; (iv) the March 2004 payment of Popeyes 2001 property taxes second installment and related penalties due to tenant default; and (v) a one-time settlement payment of approximately $25,000 from the Bankruptcy Court in relation to the DeDan bankruptcy litigation was received in January 2004.
19
Discontinued Operations
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of approximately $17,000. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), discontinued operations represent the operations of properties disposed of or classified as held for sale subsequent to January 1, 2002 as well as any gain or loss recognized in their disposition. The 2004 income from discontinued operations is attributable to the reclassification of the Miami Subs restaurant property to property held for sale in the Fourth Quarter of 2003 (the property was sold in June 2004).
Revenues
Total operating revenues amounted to $430,000 and $421,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Included in operating revenues for 2005 was approximately $14,000 in property tax recoveries related to the Popeyes- Park Forest property (see Note 3- Investment Properties).
As of March 31, 2005, total base operating rent revenues should approximate $1,671,000 for the year 2005 based on leases currently in place. Future operating rent revenues may decrease with tenant defaults and/or the reclassification of Properties as held for sale. They may also increase with additional rents due from tenants, if those tenants experience sales levels, which require the payment of additional rent to the Partnership.
Expenses
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, total operating expenses amounted to approximately 45% and 57%, of total operating revenue, respectively. The variances between 2005 and 2004 operating expenditures are primarily due to: (i) increased investor communication expenditures in the First Quarter of 2005; (ii) increased income tax expenditures in the First Quarter of 2005; (iii) the March 2004 payment of Popeyes 2001 property taxes second installment and related penalties due to tenant default; and (iv) 2004 monthly property tax accruals in relation to Popeyes (property tax accruals related to the property are not being recorded in 2005).
Depreciation and amortization are non-cash items and do not affect current operating cash flow of the Partnership or distributions to the Limited Partners.
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no write-offs for non-collectible rents and receivables. Such write-offs would primarily be the result of tenant defaults.
Other Income
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Partnership generated other income of approximately $7,000 and $29,000, respectively. During January 2004 the Partnership received a one-time settlement payment of approximately $25,000 from the Bankruptcy Court in relation to the DeDan bankruptcy litigation. In the late 1980s, the Partnership leased some properties to DeDan, Inc., and the leases were guaranteed by the owner of DeDan, Dan Fore. These leases went into default in the early 1990s and the Partnership obtained possession of the properties and re-leased them to various entities. The original lessee, DeDan and Dan Fore, filed for bankruptcy and the Partnership filed a claim in the Bankruptcy Court for damages incurred due to the lease defaults. (See Legal Proceedings in Note 10 and Part II- Item 1.)

Other revenues came primarily from interest earnings and small recoveries from former General Partners. Management anticipates that such revenue types may continue to be generated until Partnership dissolution.
Inflation
Inflation has a minimal effect on operating earnings and related cash flows from a portfolio of triple net leases. By their nature, such leases actually fix revenues and are not impacted by rising costs of maintenance, insurance, or real estate taxes. Although the majority of the Partnerships leases have percentage rent clauses, revenues from percentage rents represented only 25% of operating rental income for the year ended 2004. If inflation causes operating margins to deteriorate for lessees, or if expenses grow faster than revenues, then, inflation may well negatively impact the portfolio through tenant defaults.
It would be misleading to associate inflation with asset appreciation for real estate, in general, and the Partnerships portfolio, specifically. Due to the triple-net nature of the property leases, asset values generally move inversely with interest rates.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Partnership believes that its most significant accounting policies deal with:
Depreciation methods and lives- Depreciation of the properties is provided on a straight-line basis over 31.5 years, which is the estimated useful life of the buildings and improvements. While the Partnership believes these are the appropriate lives and methods, use of different lives and methods could result in different impacts on net income. Additionally, the value of real estate is typically based on market conditions and property performance, so depreciated book value of real estate may not reflect the market value of real estate assets.
Revenue recognition- Rental revenue from investment properties is recognized on the straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease. Percentage rents are accrued only when the tenant has reached the sales breakpoint stipulated in the lease.
The Partnership periodically reviews its long-lived assets, primarily real estate, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Partnerships review involves comparing current and future operating performance of the assets, the most significant of which is undiscounted operating cash flows, to the carrying value of the assets. Based on this analysis, a provision for possible loss is recognized, if any.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
The Partnership is not subject to market risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)/Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the CEO/CFO has concluded that the Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports it files under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

There have been no significant changes in the Partnerships internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation period covered by this report referred to above.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
DeDan Bankruptcy
During January 2004, the Partnership received a one-time payment of approximately $25,000 from the Bankruptcy Court in relation to bankruptcy litigation. In the late 1980s, the Partnership leased properties to DeDan, Inc., and the leases were guaranteed by the owner of DeDan, Dan Fore. These leases went into default in the early 1990s and the Partnership obtained possession of the properties and re-leased them to various entities. The original lessee, DeDan and Dan Fore, filed for bankruptcy and the Partnership filed a claim in the Bankruptcy Court for damages incurred due to the lease defaults. The payment received was the result of extended litigation in the Bankruptcy Court. No additional payments are anticipated.
Phoenix Foods Preference Claim
The trustee in the Phoenix Foods bankruptcy made a claim seeking to recover from the Partnership alleged preferential payments by Phoenix Foods to the Partnership in the amount of approximately $16,500. The payments the trustee is seeking to recover were rent payments received in the ordinary course of business prior to Phoenix Foods bankruptcy. The Partnership does not believe such payments were preferential under the Bankruptcy Code and is vigorously contesting such characterization. A verbal settlement of this claim was reached in November 2004 and the Partnership finalized such settlement in April of 2005. The tentative settlement calls for the bankruptcy trustee to release its preference claims and the Partnership to release its claims as an unsecured creditor in the Phoenix Foods bankruptcy. Although the Partnership believes its claims are valid, the Partnership determined that the time and cost of pursuing such claims exceeded the likely recovery given the bankrupts lack of assets from which to satisfy unsecured claims.
