NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
U.S. Restaurant Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-administered and
self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"), as defined under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As noted in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company became the
successor entity to U.S. Restaurant Properties Master L.P. (collectively with
its subsidiaries, "USRP"). The business and operations of the Company are
conducted primarily through U.S. Restaurant Properties Operating L.P. ("OP"). At
September 30, 1998, the Company owns 92.3% of and controls the OP. As of
September 30, 1998, the Company owned 747 restaurant and other properties in 48
states.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"). The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1998. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this report on Form 10-Q
pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management,
the disclosures contained in this report are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1998
and the other condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998, and 1997, are unaudited, but management of the
Company believes that all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals, except for the management contract termination accrual) necessary for
a fair presentation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements
for the periods presented have been included therein.
The Company had 13,645,196 and 12,698,113 shares of Common Stock outstanding as
of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 respectively.
In May 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging Issues Task
Force issued EITF 98-9, "Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial
Periods," (EITF 98-9), which provides guidance on recognition of rental income
during interim periods for leases which provide for contingent rents (commonly
referred to as "percentage rents"). Under EITF 98-9, the Company revised its
method of accounting for contingent rent on a prospective basis. Using the
historical basis of accounting, net income before extraordinary item, net income
and basic and diluted per share amounts would have been $340,000, $340,000,
$(0.11) and $(0.11), respectively, for the three month period ended September
30, 1998 and $10,227,000, $10,037,000, $0.36 and $0.36, respectively for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1998.
This pro forma information below was prepared based on management's estimate for
the effects of EITF 98-9 since it is impracticable to calculate the amount on a
retroactive basis precisely. Management of the Company believes that the
estimate is not materially different from what actual results would have been
under EITF 98-9. Following is pro forma information for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1997 as if the EITF 98-9 were in effect as of
January 1, 1997:

During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company purchased
investments in marketable securities that are classified as available-for-sale
securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses on these available-for-sale
securities are excluded from operations and reported as a net amount in a
separate component of stockholders' equity until realized.
2. NET INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128; Earnings per share (SFAS No. 128). Earnings per
share amounts presented for the three and nine months period ended September 30,
1997 have been restated to comply with the provisions of SFAS No. 128.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per
share for the three and nine months period ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), "Reporting Comprehensive Income," issued in June
1997. For interim periods, SFAS 130 requires disclosure of comprehensive income,
which is composed of net income and other comprehensive income items. Other
comprehensive income items are revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under
generally accepted accounting principles are excluded from net income and
reflected as a component of equity. Consolidated comprehensive income (loss) was
$(732,000) and $8,533,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1998, respectively, which includes unrealized holding losses on investments
of $79,000. Consolidated comprehensive income was equal to consolidated net
income for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 1997.
4. PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
During the three months ended September 30, 1998, the Company completed the
purchase of 72 restaurant, gas station and other properties for an aggregate
purchase price of $47,573,000.
During the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company completed the purchase
of 49 restaurant, gas station and other properties for an aggregate purchase
price of $38,374,000.
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company completed the purchase
of 44 restaurant properties for an aggregate purchase price of $44,160,000.
During the three months ended September 30, 1998, seven restaurant and other
properties were sold for cash of $5,068,000, net of closing costs resulting in a
gain of $252,000.
Page 9 of 17
<PAGE>
During the three months ended June 30, 1998, two restaurant properties were sold
for cash of $632,000, net of closing costs resulting in a gain of $284,000. The
Company received a note receivable of $675,000 which bears interest at 8.50%
with interest and principal due monthly through July 2012 in connection with the
sale of the other property. In accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards
No. 66 "Accounting for Real Estate Sales" the Company recorded a deferred gain
of $85,000 as a result of the sale. In addition, a previous deferred gain on
sale of $173,000 was recognized since the receivable amount was collected.
In the normal course of business, the Company may sign purchase agreements and
deposit earnest money to acquire restaurant properties. Such agreements become
binding obligations upon the completion of a due diligence period ranging
usually from 15 - 30 days.
On September 30, 1998, earnest money purchase deposits amounting to $12,400,000
were on deposit for the purchase of twenty-seven Texaco gas station properties,
seven Popeye's, five Denny's, three Burger King's, two Arby's, one Kentucky
Fried Chicken restaurant property and twenty-nine other restaurant and gas
station properties. The Company believes it will either complete these
acquisitions or have the deposits refunded.
5. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES
On January 17, 1998 the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate
of banks for an unsecured revolving credit line of $175 million. This credit
agreement replaced the Company's then existing line of credit. As of September
30, 1998, the Company has approximately $68 million available under the new
credit agreement. The Company may request advances under this credit agreement
to finance the acquisition of restaurant properties, to repair and update
restaurant properties and for working capital. The banks will also issue standby
letters of credit for the account of the Company under this credit agreement.
This credit agreement expires on January 15, 2001 and provides that borrowings
thereunder bear interest at the then current LIBOR plus a margin spread of
either 1.05%, 1.20% or 1.35%, dependent on a leverage ratio formula. As of
September 30, 1998, the margin spread was 1.20%. There is an unused line of
credit fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the credit agreement.
On January 17, 1998, the Company's previous secured revolving credit facility
was terminated and the related unamortized costs were expensed and the
outstanding balance thereunder of $63,782,000 was repaid with funds from the new
unsecured credit agreement.
On August 15, 1997, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a
short term borrowing facility (the "Pacific Mutual Facility") of $30 million.
This revolving credit facility was repaid in full during the nine month period
ending September 30, 1998 and the borrowing facility was terminated.
6. NOTES PAYABLE
On February 26, 1997, the Company issued $40,000,000 in privately placed debt
which consists of $12,500,000 Series A Senior Secured Guaranteed Notes with a
8.06% interest rate and due date of January 31, 2000; and $27,500,000 Series B
Senior Secured Guaranteed Notes with a 8.30% interest rate and due date of
January 31, 2002. In January 1998 the note holders agreed to release the
collateral for these notes.
On May 12, 1998 the Company issued $111 million of 7 year fixed rate senior
unsecured notes payable in a private placement. The notes bear interest at the
rate of 7.15% per annum and are due May 1, 2005. The net proceeds of the notes
were used to repay a portion of the revolving credit agreement and for general
corporate purposes.
The Company has in principle entered into an agreement subsequent to September
30, 1998 to issue $47,500,000 in senior notes payable in a private placement.
The notes when issued will bear interest at the rate of 8.22% per annum. The net
proceeds will be used to repay a portion of the revolving credit agreement and
for general corporate purposes.
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Prior to October 15, 1997, QSV Properties, Inc, the Managing General Partner of
USRP ("QSV") was responsible for managing the business and affairs of USRP. USRP

8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND MINORITY INTEREST
COMMON STOCK
As reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 1997,
the Company effected the conversion of USRP into a self-administered and
self-managed REIT on October 15, 1997. As a result of the Merger, USRP became a
subsidiary of the Company and, at the effective time of the Merger, all holders
of units of beneficial interest of USRP became stockholders of the Company.
Accordingly, information contained in these condensed consolidated financial
statements related to the equity ownership of USRP following October 15, 1997 is
presented as ownership of shares of Common Stock of the Company. On October 30,
1997, the Company effected a three-for-two stock split. All of the historical
Units and per unit information has been restated to reflect this stock split and
conversion of the units to Common Stock.
The Company announced on August 5, 1998 that the Board of Directors authorized
the Company to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and
Convertible Preferred Stock. Any purchases made under the program will be made
from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The
repurchase program will continue until the Company acquires 500,000 shares, or
until such time as the Board of Directors terminates the program. As of
September 30, 1998, the Company has repurchased and retired 29,700 shares of
common stock under this program.
MINORITY INTEREST
As reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 1997,
the management contract between QSV and USRP was terminated. The contract
termination and QSV's partnership interests in USRP were converted to 126,582
shares of Common Stock of the Company and 1,148,418 units of the OP. The OP
units represent a minority interest in the OP of the REIT. Each OP unit
participates in any income (loss) of the OP based on the percent ownership in
the OP and the OP units held by QSV receive a cash dividend in an amount
equivalent to a share of Common Stock. Each OP unit held by QSV may be exchanged
for one share of Common Stock of the Company. With each exchange of outstanding
OP units for Common Stock, the Company's percentage ownership interest in the
OP, directly or indirectly, will increase. An additional 825,000 shares of
Common Stock of the Company or its equivalent in OP units may be issued to QSV
if certain earnings targets are met by the Company by the year 2000. As of
September 30, 1998, the Company has accrued approximately $4,991,000
representing 196,212 OP units based on earning targets that have been met. The
196,212 OP units have not been issued and will not participate in any income
(loss) or receive any distributions from the OP until such units are issued. In
addition, the Company has issued 3,212 OP units for the purchase of property
during the three months ended September 30, 1998.
Minority interest in the OP consists of the following (in thousands):
Balance December 31, 1997 $ 19,536
Distributions paid and declared (1,808)
Termination of management contract 4,991
OP units issued for property 86
Income allocated to minority interest 300
---------------
Balance at September 30, 1998 $ 23,105

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The Company derives its revenue from the leasing of its Properties to operators
(primarily restaurants) on a "triple net" basis. Triple net leases typically
require the tenants to be responsible for property operating costs, including
property taxes, insurance and maintenance. A majority of the Company's leases
provide for a base rent plus a percentage of the restaurant's sales in excess of
a threshold amount. As a result, a portion of the Company's revenues is a
function of the number of restaurants in operation and their level of sales.
Sales at individual restaurants are influenced by local market conditions, by
the efforts of specific restaurant operators, by marketing, by new product
programs, support by the franchisor and by the general state of the economy.
On October 15, 1997 the Company changed its form of business from a master
limited partnership to a REIT. U. S. Restaurant Properties, Inc. became the
successor entity to U.S. Restaurant Properties Master L.P. The results of
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 are presented
as the continuation of the operations of the predecessor entity.
Certain statements in the analysis of financial condition and results of
operations constitute "forward-looking statements" and involve risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual performance of U.S.
Restaurant Properties, Inc. to be materially different from the performance
expressed or implied by such statements. These risks include interest rates and
other general economic conditions, income fluctuations in U.S. households and
the general health of the fast food and casual dining industry segments.
The results of operations of the Company, together with its predecessors, for
the periods discussed below have been affected by the growth in the total number
of Properties owned by the Company, as well as by increases in rental income
across the portfolio, over such time periods. The following discussion considers
the specific impact of such factors on the results of operations of the Company
for the following periods.
COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997.
The Company owned 322 properties prior to January 1, 1997. The Company acquired
277 properties and sold 8 properties from January 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997
and the Company acquired 165 properties and sold nine properties, from January
1, 1998 to September 30, 1998, the rentals of which are included in the periods
presented from their respective dates of acquisition.
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 totaled $41,922,000 up 70
% from the $24,596,000 recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
The increase in revenues is primarily due to increases in the number of
properties owned during the period as compared to the same period in 1997.
Through September 30, 1998, approximately 9% (13% before the effect of EITF
98-9) of the Company's rental revenues resulted from percentage rents (rents
determined as a percentage of tenant sales), down from 17% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997. The decrease is due in part to the deferred
recognition of percent rent under the provisions of EITF 98-9, which was adopted
in May 1998, and in part due to the diminishing impact restaurant sales have on
total rental revenues. The Company's deferred percentage rent under the
provisions of EITF 98-9 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 amounted to
approximately $1,544,000. Also included in revenues is interest income relating
primarily to secured notes and mortgage receivable from tenants and related
parties. Interest income was $2,012,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 compared with $514,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
Rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 totaled $2,286,000 an
increase of 22% when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Depreciation and amortization expenses in the nine months ended September 30,
1998 totaled $11,121,000; an increase of 86% when compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1997. The increase in rent expense and depreciation and
amortization expenses directly relates to the property acquisitions.
Taxes, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 totaled $3,351,000 an increase of 18% when compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1997. The increase was a result of the costs of the
increased infrastructure, including additional employees, required by the
Company to manage and maintain the Company's rate of growth.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 totaled
$11,668,000, an increase of 69%, when compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. The increase in interest expense directly relates to the
additional debt associated with the acquisitions.
Gain on sale of property for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 totaled
$709,000 an increase of 58% when compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1997. The increase in the gain directly relates to the sale of five additional
properties when compared to property sales for the nine months ended September
30, 1997.
Termination of management contract for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
totaled $4,991,000. This represents the accrual for 196,212 OP units based on
earning targets that have been met by QSV under the terms of the management
contract termination agreement between QSV and USRP on October 15, 1997.
Equity in net loss of affiliates of $112,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 related to the Company's equity share of net loss in the Anz Company,
LLC, U.S. Restaurant Lending GP, Inc. and U.S. Restaurant Lending LP, Inc.
Minority interest in net income of the OP of $300,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 related to OP units held by QSV and other OP unit holders.
Loss on debt extinguishment of $190,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 related to the termination of the Company's previous line of credit.
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 TO THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997.
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1998 totaled $14,506,000 up
48% from the $9,775,000 recorded for the three months ended September 30, 1997.
The increase in revenues is primarily due to increases in the number of
properties owned during the period as compared to the same period in 1997. Also
included in revenues is interest income relating primarily to secured notes and
a mortgage receivable from tenants and related parties. Interest income was
$684,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared with $237,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1997.

increase of 20% when compared to the three months ended September 30, 1997.
Depreciation and amortization expenses in the three months ended September 30,
1998 totaled $4,061,000; an increase of 55% when compared to the three months
ended September 30, 1997. The increase in rent expense and depreciation and
amortization expenses directly relates to the property acquisitions.
Taxes, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September
30, 1998 totaled $1,153,000 an increase of 16% when compared to the three months
ended September 30, 1997. The increase was a result of the costs of the
increased infrastructure, including additional employees, required by the
Company to manage and maintain the Company's rate of growth.
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1998 totaled
$4,536,000, an increase of 48%, when compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1997. The increase in interest expense directly relates to the
additional debt associated with the acquisitions.
Gain on sale of property for the three months ended September 30, 1998 totaled
$252,000 an increase of 38% when compared to the three months ended September
30, 1997. The increase in the gain directly relates to the sale of four
additional properties when compared to property sales for the three months ended
September 30, 1997.
Termination of management contract for the three months ended September 30, 1998
totaled $4,991,000. This represents the accrual for 196,212 OP units based on
earning targets that have been met by QSV under the terms of the management
contract termination agreement between QSV and USRP on October 15, 1997.
Equity in net loss of affiliates of $55,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1998 related to the Company's share of net loss in the Anz Company, LLC,
U.S. Restaurant Lending GP, Inc. and U.S. Restaurant Lending LP, Inc.
Minority interest in net loss of the OP of $203,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 related to OP units held by QSV and other OP unit holders.
LIQUIDITY OF CAPITAL RESOURCES.
The Company's principal source of cash to meet its short term cash requirements
is rental revenues generated by the Company's properties. Cash generated by the
portfolio in excess of operating needs is used to reduce amounts of debt
outstanding under the Company's credit agreements. Currently, the Company's
primary source of funding for acquisitions is its existing revolving line of
credit. The Company anticipates meeting its future long-term capital needs
through the issuance of additional debt or equity, including the issuance of
additional OP units, along with cash generated from internal operations. During
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 the Company paid dividends of $1.155
per share, or an aggregate of $16,349,000 to common stockholders and minority
interests. In addition, the Company paid dividends of $1.60 per share, or an
aggregate $5,899,000 to preferred stockholders covering the period November 17,
1997 to September 15, 1998.
On January 17, 1998 the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate
of banks for an unsecured revolving credit line of $175 million. This credit
agreement replaced the Company's then existing line of credit. As of September
30, 1998, the Company has approximately $68 million available under the new
credit agreement. The Company may request advances under this credit agreement
to finance the acquisition of restaurant properties, to repair and update
restaurant properties and for working capital. This credit agreement provides
that borrowings thereunder bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin spread which was
1.20 per annum at September 30.
On May 12, 1998 the Company issued $111 million of 7 year fixed rate senior
unsecured notes payable in a private placement. The notes bear interest at the
rate of 7.15% per annum and are due May 1, 2005. The net proceeds of the notes
were used to repay a portion of the revolving credit agreement and for general
corporate purposes.
The Company has in principle entered into an agreement subsequent to September
30, 1998 to issue $47,500,000 in senior notes payable in a private placement.
The notes when issued will bear interest at the rate of 8.22% per annum. The net
proceeds will be used to repay a portion of the revolving credit agreement and
for general corporate purposes.
Management believes that the existing debt facilities, along with the Company's
ability to raise additional equity, including the issuance of OP units in
exchange for properties, will provide the Company with sufficient liquidity to
meet operating and growth requirements.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Company has recognized the need to ensure that its data processing systems
and operations will not be adversely affected by the change to the calendar year
2000. The Company's information system consists of a dual server Windows NT
network with Windows 95 workstations. All accounting systems are processed
through Solomon IV, a nationally recognized provider of accounting software and
has been represented to the Company by the vendor as Year 2000 compliant. All
owned property information is maintained on an Access database which has been
tested and is Year 2000 compliant. The Company currently processes its payroll
through ADP a third party processor. ADP has represented that its processing
system is Year 2000 compliant. The Company has additionally identified those
vendors it believes could have an impact on its day-to-day operations and has
developed a short questionnaire regarding the vendor's Year 2000 status. These
questionnaires have been sent to the vendors, all of which have not yet replied.
It is expected that the responses will be received or the vendors will be
contacted by January 1, 1999 to determine their Year 2000 status.
The Company believes its information systems are fully compliant, however it
will obtain verification of Year 2000 compliance through internal testing. More
than 50 percent of the testing has been performed. All systems tested are Year
2000 compliant. Verification of the remaining systems will continue through the
Company's internal operations. The cost of such verification is expected to be
less than $25,000.
In the event that any of the Company's significant tenants, suppliers or third
party processors do not successfully and timely achieve Year 2000 compliance,
the Company's operations may be affected. The Company has not finalized a
contingency plan if such condition were to occur. However, a formal contingency
plan will be developed as any risks come to the Company's attention. The Company
does not anticipate any material impact on its results from operations or its
financial condition as a result of any Year 2000 compliance issues.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (FFO)
FFO is computed as net income (loss) available to common stockholders (computed
in accordance with GAAP), excluding the effects of direct financing leases,
minority interest, unusual charges and gains (or losses) from debt restructuring
and sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization.
The
Page 14 of 17
<PAGE>
Company believes FFO is helpful to investors as a measure of the performance
of an equity REIT because, along with cash flows from operating, financing and
investing activities, it provides investors with an understanding of the ability
of the Company to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. The
Company believes that it computes FFO in accordance with the standards
established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT"), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized
by other equity REITs, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other
REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management's
discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt
service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO should not be
considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP)
as an indication of the Company's financial performance or to cash flows from
operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the
Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the
Company's cash needs, including its ability to make distributions.
The following table sets forth, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997, the calculation of FFO:

INFLATION
Some of the Company's leases are subject to adjustments for increases in the
Consumer Price Index, which reduces the risk to the Company of the adverse
effects of inflation. Additionally, to the extent inflation increases sales
volume, percentage rents may tend to offset the effects of inflation on the
Company. Because triple net leases also require the restaurant operator to pay
for some or all operating expenses, property taxes, property repair and
maintenance costs and insurance, some or all of the inflationary impact of these
expenses will be borne by the restaurant operator and not by the Company.
Operators of restaurants, in general, possess the ability to adjust menu prices
quickly. However, competitive pressures may limit a restaurant operator's
ability to raise prices in the face of inflation.
