                       Notes to the Financial Statements


The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Partnership's annual 1994 audited financial statements within Form 10-K.

The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of financial
position as of March 31, 1995 and the results of operations and cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 and the statement of changes in
partners' capital (deficit) for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  Results
of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.

No significant events have occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1994, and no
material contingencies exist which would require disclosure in this interim
report per Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01, Paragraph (a)(5).



Part I, Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                   and Results of Operations



Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership's cash balance consists of working capital and undistributed
cash flow from operations.  At March 31, 1995, the cash balance was $603,558,
compared to $500,420 at December 31, 1994.  The increase in cash is primarily
due to the return of a portion of the 1994 management fee paid to Burger King
Corporation ("BKC").  

Cash flow generated from operations is distributed quarterly to the partners.
At March 31, 1995, the Partnership had distributions payable of $503,558 which
was distributed to the partners on April 28, 1995. 

Due from Burger King Corporation decreased from $176,963 at December 31, 1994,
to $48,039 at March 31, 1995.  The decrease is a result of payments made by BKC
as a refund of a portion of the management fees paid by the Partnership to BKC
in 1994.  In accordance with the terms of the property management agreement
between BKC and the Partnership, BKC is required to return all or a portion of
its annual property management fee to the Partnership if rents from the
properties do not provide an annual return of 15.5% on the Partnership's
initial investment.  

Rent receivable decreased from $34,238 at December 31, 1994 to $20,932 at March
31, 1995, due to a decrease in percentage rent generated by the properties from
the fourth quarter of 1994 to the first quarter of 1995.  Accounts payable
decreased from December 31, 1994 to March 31, 1995 as a result of the timing of
the payment of audit fees.
 
During 1995, the Partnership will explore the feasibility of selling the
Partnership's remaining 24 properties.  Until all of the properties are sold,
the Partnership will continue to operate, and it is intended that net income
earned by the Partnership will be distributed to the partners in accordance
with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.  

Results of Operations

The Partnership generated net income for the three months ended March 31, 1995
of $312,765 compared to $292,627 for the corresponding period in 1994.  The
increase in net income is primarily attributable to increased percentage rental
income resulting from higher sales at the properties.  Rental income for the
three months ended March 31, 1994 was $506,033 compared to $487,882 for the
corresponding period in 1994.

Interest income also contributed to the increase in net income over the prior
period due to an increase in interest rates during the past year.  For the
three months ended March 31, 1995, interest income was $7,003 compared to
$3,258 for the corresponding period in 1994. 

Ground lease rent increased to $69,216 for the three months ended March 31,
1995 compared to $64,396 for the corresponding period in 1994.  The increase in
ground lease rent expense was a result of scheduled rent escalations in the
Partnership's ground leases.  Increases in ground rents are passed on to the
franchisees in the form of increased rents paid to the Partnership.
