NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements, some of which are unaudited, have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Registrant's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary
to present fairly the partnership's financial position at June 30, 1998, the
results of operations and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30,
1998 and 1997 have been included. Operating results for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1998.

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
8,751 in 1998 and 1997.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, annual partnership net income is
allocated one percent to the General Partner and 99 percent to the Limited
Partners. A Partnership net loss in any year will be allocated 24 percent to the
General Partner and 76 percent to the Limited Partners until the losses so
allocated equal income previously allocated. Any additional losses will be
allocated one percent to the General Partner and 99 percent to the Limited
Partners. Partnership gains from any sale or refinancing will be allocated one
percent to the General Partner and 99 percent to the Limited Partners until
allocated gains and profits equal losses. Additional gains will be allocated 24
percent to the General Partner and 76 percent to the Limited Partners.

NOTE 3 - LEASING ACTIVITIES

The Registrant leases (the "Leases") certain properties (the "Properties") for
operation of restaurants to Del Taco, Inc. ("General Partner") 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. There is no minimum
rental under any of the Leases. The Registrant had a total of six Properties
leased as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, two of which have been subleased to Del
Taco franchisees (one of which is affiliated with Del Taco, Inc.)

For the three months ended June 30, 1998, the five restaurants operated by Del
Taco, for which the Registrant is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of
$925,165 and net income of $51,211 as compared to $867,749 and $29,141
respectively, for the corresponding period in 1997. Net income by restaurant
includes charges for general and administrative expenses incurred in connection
with supervision of restaurant operations and interest expense. For the three
months ended June 30, 1998, the one restaurant operated by a Del Taco
franchisee, for which the Registrant is the lessor, had unaudited sales of
$167,803 as compared with $150,201 during the same period in 1997.

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the five restaurants operated by Del
Taco, for which the Registrant is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of
$1,761,425 and net income of $81,911 as compared to $1,658,449 and $50,973
respectively, for the corresponding period in 1997. For the six months ended
June 30, 1998, the one restaurant operated by a Del Taco franchisee, for which
the Registrant is the lessor, had unaudited sales of $326,333 as compared with
$283,809 during the same period in 1997.

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998, the Elkhorn Boulevard
restaurant in Sacramento, California reported net losses of $4,600 and $8,724 as
compared to net losses of $5,394 and $9,960 respectively, for the corresponding
period in 1997.

NOTE 4 - TRANSACTIONS WITH DEL TACO

The receivable from General Partner consists primarily of rent accrued for the
month of June. The June rent receivable was collected on July 10, 1998.

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

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


NOTE 5 - DISTRIBUTIONS

On July 15, 1998, a distribution to the Limited Partners of $116,715, or
approximately $13.34 per Limited Partnership Unit, was approved. Such
distribution was paid on August 5, 1998. The General Partner also received a
distribution of $1,179 with respect to its 1% partnership interest.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Registrant commenced offering of Limited Partnership Units on March 21,
1983. By March 20, 1984, the sale of such Units provided a total capitalization
for the Registrant of $4,375,500. Fifteen percent of the cash received from the
sale of Limited Partnership Units was used to pay commissions to brokers and to
reimburse the General Partner for offering costs incurred. The remaining funds
were expended for the acquisition of sites and construction of six restaurants.
In 1985, the first four restaurants opened for business and two additional
restaurants were opened in 1986. Approximately $4,002,000 was expended for such
purposes.

Since the six restaurants owned by the Registrant opened, cash flow from Lease
payments received from Del Taco, the Registrant's General Partner, which leases
all six restaurants, has provided adequate liquidity for operation of the
Registrant. However, the Registrant's overwhelmingly predominant source of
income to meet its expenses and fund distributions to its Limited Partners is
payments from Del Taco under the Leases, comprising primarily rent calculated on
the basis of the gross sales of the restaurants operated on the Properties, as
to which there are no contractually specified minimum or guaranteed amounts.
Thus, the adequacy of the Registrant's liquidity and capital resources in the
future will depend primarily upon the gross revenues of such restaurants as well
as upon Del Taco's financial condition and results of operations generally.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

The Registrant owns six Mexican-American restaurants that are under long-term
lease to its General Partner for operation under the Del Taco trade name. The
Registrant receives rental revenues equal to 12 percent of restaurant sales. For
the three months ended June 30, rental revenues increased from $122,154 in 1997
to $131,156 in 1998. For the six months ended June 30, rental revenues increased
from $233,071 in 1997 to $250,531 in 1998. Such increases are directly
attributable to increased sales at the restaurants.

</TABLE>

Operating expenses include general and administrative expenses which consist
primarily of accounting fees and costs of distribution of information to the
Limited Partners. For the three months ended June 30, general and administrative
expenses increased from $8,760 in 1997 to $9,977 in 1998. For the six months
ended June 30, general and administrative expenses increased from $29,567 in
1997 to $30,624 in 1998. General and administrative expenses increased due to
increased costs of printing and distribution. For the three months ended June
30, the Registrant incurred depreciation expense in the amount of $10,943 in
1997 and 1998. The Registrant incurred depreciation expense of $21,886 for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1998.


                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11

For the three months ended June 30, revenues increased by $8,593 while expenses
increased by $1,217 resulting in an increase in net income from $103,608 in 1997
to $110,984 in 1998. For the six months ended June 30, revenues increased by
$17,013 while expenses increased by $1,057 resulting in an increase in
Registrant's net income from $183,874 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to
$199,830 for the corresponding period in 1998.

For the reasons stated under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" above, the
Registrant's results of operations in the future will depend primarily upon the
gross revenues of the restaurants located on the Properties leased to Del Taco
as well as upon Del Taco's financial condition and results of operations
generally.
