Notes to the Financial Statements

The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with Burger

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

(deficit) for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 and the statements of
cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  Results of
operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

No significant events have occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1995 which
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 June 30, 1996, the Partnership's cash balance
was $509,065, largely unchanged from $502,341 at December 31, 1995.  At June
30, 1996, the Partnership had distributions payable of $410,820, which were
subsequently distributed to the partners on July 30, 1996.  As of June 30,
1996, the Partnership owned 24 restaurant properties (hereinafter referred to
individually as a "Property" and, collectively, as the "Properties").

Rent receivable totaled $80,785 at June 30, 1996, compared to $50,447 at
December 31, 1995.  The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in
percentage rent as a result of an increase in overall sales at the Properties
in the second quarter of 1996.

Due from Burger King Corporation ("BKC") decreased from $50,977 at December 31,
1995 to $0 at June 30, 1996.  The decrease is attributable to payments received
from BKC during the first quarter of 1996 as a refund of a portion of the
management fees paid by the Partnership during 1995.  In accordance with the
terms of the management agreement between BKC and the Partnership, BKC is
required to refund all or a portion of the annual management fee paid by the
Partnership if rents from the Properties do not provide an annual return of
15.5% on the Partnership's initial investment, as defined in the management
agreement.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased from $40,838 at December 31,
1995 to $23,127 at June 30, 1996.  The decrease is primarily attributable to
the payment of the Partnership's 1995 audit and tax fees.

The General Partner continues to evaluate market conditions to determine when
the Partnership's remaining 24 Properties should be marketed for sale.  Until
all of the Properties are sold, the Partnership intends to continue operating
the Properties and distributing cash flow from operations to the partners in
accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.

Results of Operations
The Partnership generated net income for the three- and six-month periods ended
June 30, 1996 of $387,620 and $714,116, respectively, compared to $332,177 and
$644,942 for the corresponding periods in 1995.  The increase in net income for
both periods is primarily attributable to an increase in rental income and, to
a lesser extent, a decrease in general and administrative expenses, which were
partially offset by increases in ground lease rents and management fees paid to
BKC.

Rental income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 was
$614,464 and $1,144,763, respectively, compared to $561,403 and $1,067,436 for
the corresponding periods in 1995. The increases in rental income are primarily
attributable to an overall increase in food and beverage sales at the
Properties which resulted in an increase in percentage rental income and, to a
lesser extent, scheduled rent escalations in the leasehold Properties.  Ground
lease rent escalations received from the franchisees are offset by higher
ground lease rents paid by the Partnership to BKC.  Management fees, which are
based on the amount of rental income received by the Partnership, were higher
in the 1996 periods due to the increase in percentage rental income.

General and administrative expenses totaled $21,514 and $38,480 for the three-
and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996, compared to $37,176 and $52,223 for
the corresponding periods in 1995.  The decreases for both periods are
primarily attributable to a decrease in environmental consultation fees
incurred by the Partnership during the first six months of 1996.
