750 restaurants that Burger King leased to tenants. Mr. Stetson is also a

Company, one of the largest independent premium finance companies in Texas. 
From 1982 through 1988, Mr. Margolin developed and then leased or sold

     EUGENE G. TAPER. Mr. Taper is a director of the Managing General 
Partner. Mr. Taper is a certified public accountant and a business consultant 
and retired partner, since 1993, of Deloitte & Touche LLP, an international 
public accounting firm. Mr. Taper is 59 years old.

     SECTION 16(a) REPORTS. Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act 
of 1934, as amended, requires the Managing General Partner, its directors and 
executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10 percent of 
the Units to file with the SEC initial reports of Unit ownership and reports 
of changes in ownership therein. The Managing General Partner, directors and 
executive officers of the Managing General Partner, and greater than 10 
percent owners of the Units are required by SEC regulation to furnish the 
Partnership with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

     To the Partnership's knowledge, based solely upon a review of the copies 
of such reports furnished to the Partnership and written representations that 
no other reports were required during the year ended December 31, 1995, the 
Partnership believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to 
the foregoing Managing General Partner, director, executive officers, and 
greater than 10 percent owners were complied with. 

     The year end report is not required to be filed if there are no 
previously unreported transactions or holding to report. Nevertheless, the 
Partnership is required to disclose the names of directors, executive 
officers and greater than 10 percent owners who did not file the year end 
report, unless the Partnership has received a written statement that no 
filing was required. As of the date of this report, the Partnership has not 
received any such statements.

                                     1

ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     The Partnership pays the Managing General Partner a non-accountable (no 
support is required for payment) annual allowance designed to cover the costs 
that the Managing General Partner incurs in connection with the management of 
the Partnership and the Properties (other than reimbursements for 
out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties). The allowance is adjusted 
annually to reflect any cumulative increases in the Consumer Price Index 
occurring after January 1, 1986, and was $585,445 for the year ended December 
31, 1995. The allowance is paid quarterly, in arrears.

     In addition, to compensate the Managing General Partner for its efforts 
and increased internal expenses resulting from additional properties, the 
Partnership will pay the Managing General Partner, with respect to each 
additional property purchased: (i) a one-time acquisition fee equal to 1% of 
the purchase price for such property and (ii) an annual fee equal to 1% of 
the purchase price for such property, adjusted for increases in the Consumer 
Price Index. For 1995, the one-time acquisition fee equaled $109,238 which 
was capitalized and the increased annual fee equaled $29,375. In addition, if 
the Rate of Return (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) on the 
Partnership's equity in all additional properties exceeds 12% per annum for 
any fiscal year, the Managing General Partner will be paid an additional fee 
equal to 25% of the cash flow received with respect to such additional 
properties in excess of the cash flow representing a 12% rate of return 
thereon. However, to the extent the Managing General Partner receives 
distributions in excess of those provided by its 1.98% Partnership interest, 
such distributions will reduce the fee payable with respect to such excess 
cash flow from any additional properties. See "Partnership Allocations" under 
"Item 1. Business." Except as provided above, such payments are in addition 
to distributions made by the Partnership to the Managing General Partner in 
its capacity as a partner in the Partnership. The Partnership may pay or 
reimburse the Managing General Partner for payments to affiliates for goods 
or other services if the price and the terms for providing such goods or 
services are fair to the Partnership and not less favorable to the 
Partnership than would be the case if such goods or services were obtained 
from or provided by an unrelated third party.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

      The Managing General Partner is responsible for managing the business and
affairs of the Partnership. The Partnership pays the Managing General Partner 
a non-accountable (no support is required for payment) annual allowance 
(adjusted annually to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index), plus 
reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs incurred to other parties for services 
rendered to the Partnership. The allowance for the years ended December 31, 
1993, 1994, and 1995 was $528,000, $542,508, and $585,445, respectively. The 
allowance is payable quarterly, in arrears. The Partnership's accounts payable
balance includes $187,204 and $135,627 for this allowance as of December 31, 
1995 and 1994, respectively. The Managing General Partner paid no 
out-of-pocket costs to other parties on behalf of the Partnership during 
1993, 1994, and 1995.

     To compensate the Managing General Partner for its efforts and increased 
internal expenses with respect to additional properties, the Partnership will 
pay the Managing General Partner, with respect to each additional property 
purchased: (i) a one-time acquisition fee equal to one percent of the 
purchase price for such property and (ii) an annual fee equal to one percent 
of the purchase price for such property, adjusted for increases in the 
Consumer Price Index. For 1995, the one-time acquisition fee equaled 
$109,238, which was capitalized, and the increase in the non-accountable 
annual fee for 1995 equaled $29,375. In addition, if the Rate of Return (as 
defined) on the Partnership's equity in all additional properties exceeds 12 
percent per annum for any fiscal year, the Managing General Partner will be 
paid an additional fee equal to 25 percent of the cash flow received with 
respect to such additional properties in excess of the cash flow representing 
a 12 percent Rate of Return thereon. However, to the extent such 
distributions are ultimately received by the Managing General Partner in 
excess of those provided by its 1.98 percent Partnership interest, they will 
reduce the fee payable with respect to such excess flow from any additional 
properties.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Managing General 
Partner is required to make available to the Partnership an unsecured, 
interest-free, revolving line of credit in the principal amount of $500,000 
to provide the Partnership with the necessary working capital to minimize or 
avoid seasonal fluctuation in the amount of quarterly cash distributions. No 
loans were made or were outstanding at any time during the years ended 
December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995. For further information, see "Item 7. 
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources."

     A note receivable of $255,000 from Arkansas Restaurants #10 L.P. was 
outstanding at December 31, 1995. The note receivable is due on September 1, 
1996, and has an interest rate of 9.0% per annum. As of December 31, 1995, 
the Managing General Partner owned 90% of Arkansas Restaurants #10 L.P.

     On March 17, 1995, the limited partners granted the Managing General 
Partner options to acquire up to 400,000 units, subject to certain 
adjustments under anti-dilution provisions. The initial exercise price of 
each option is $15.50 which is the average closing price of the depository 
receipts for the Units on the New York Stock Exchange for the five trading 
days immediately after the date of grant. The options are non-transferable 
except by operation of law and are currently fully exercisable. The options 
expire on the tenth anniversary of the date as of which the exercise price 
is determined.
