                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (unaudited)

1.  INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION 

*  ORGANIZATION  -  U.S. Restaurant Properties Master L.P. (Partnership), 
formerly Burger King Investors Master L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, 
was formed on December 10, 1985.  The Partnership, through its 99.01% limited 
partnership interest in U.S. Restaurant Properties Operating  L.P. (Operating 
Partnership), also a Delaware Limited Partnership which was formerly Burger 
King Operating Limited Partnership, acquired from Burger King Corporation 
(BKC) in February 1986 an interest in 128 restaurant properties (Properties) 
owned or leased by BKC and leased or subleased on a net lease basis to BKC 
franchisees. (The Partnership is the sole limited partner of the Operating 
Partnership and the Partnership and the Operating Partnership are referred to 
collectively as the "Partnerships".)  U.S. Restaurant Properties, Inc. is the 
managing general partner of the Partnerships.

In 1996, the Partnership established certain other wholly owned operating 
entities consisting of U.S. Restaurant Properties Business Trust I, U.S. 
Restaurant Properties Business Trust II, Restaurant Acquisition Corporation, 
Restaurant Renovations Partners L.P., U.S. Restaurant Properties West 
Virginia Partners L.P., and U.S. Restaurant Properties Renovation Corporation 
for business purposes.  These entities are included in the consolidated 
financial statements.

The Partnership may issue an unlimited number of units.  The units 
outstanding as of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 totaled 6,844,003 
and 4,659,167, respectively.

*  ACCOUNTING POLICIES  -  A summary of accounting policies followed by the 
Partnerships is included in the 1995 Annual Report.  The Partnerships follow 
such policies in the preparation of their interim reports.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP); however, this is not the 
basis for reporting taxable income to unitholders.  The financial statements 
reflect the consolidated accounts of the Partnership after elimination of all 
material inter-partnership transactions.

No federal and in most cases no state income taxes are reflected in the 
consolidated financial statements because partnerships are not taxable 
entities. The partners are responsible for reporting their allocable shares 
of taxable income or loss in their individual income tax returns.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in 
conformity with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Registrant's 
annual report for the year ended December 31, 1995.  The results of 
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, are not necessarily 
indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 
1996.

The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1996 and the other 
consolidated financial information for the three and nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995, are unaudited, but management of the Registrant 
believes that all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring 

                                Page 7 of 15 

<PAGE>

accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the Partnerships' consolidated 
financial position and results of operations for the periods have been 
included therein.

*  EARNINGS PER UNIT CALCULATION  -  Earnings per unit have been computed by 
dividing net income allocable to unitholders by the weighted average number 
of units or equivalents outstanding.  Units equivalent include the weighted 
average number of assumed equivalent units outstanding from unit options and 
unit price guarantees if dilutive using the treasury stock method.  Fully 
diluted net income per unit is not materially dilutive and is not presented.

*  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS  -  The managing general partner, U.S. 
Restaurant Properties, Inc., is responsible for managing the business and 
affairs of the Partnerships.  The Partnerships pay the managing general 
partner a non-accountable annual allowance (adjusted to reflect increases in 
the Consumer Price Index and additions to the property portfolio), plus 
reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs incurred by other parties for service 
rendered to the Partnerships.  The allowance for the quarter ended September 
30, 1996 was $395,000 compared to $147,000 at September 30, 1995.  The 
managing general partner also receives a 1% finders fee on all acquisitions, 
which amounted to $40,050 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 compared 
to $22,650 in the quarter ended September 30, 1995.

A note receivable of $310,000 is due from Arkansas Restaurants #10 L.P. at 
September 30, 1996.  The note receivable is due on September 30, 1997, and 
has an interest rate of 9.0% per annum.  The managing general partner of 
Arkansas Restaurants #10 L.P., North American Restaurants Management, Inc., is 
owned by an officer of the managing general partner.

The partnership completed a sale/leaseback transaction with Carlos O'Kelly's,
Inc.  Carlos O'Kelly's, Inc. is owned by a director of the managing general 
partner.  The terms of the transaction were similar to other transactions 
with independent third parties with similar specifications.

A note receivable of $920,000 is due from Southeast Fast-Food Partners, L.P. 
The note receivable is due on July 1, 1999 and has an interest rate of 9.0% 
per annum.  The managing general partner of Southeast Fast-Food Partners, 
L.P., Bulldog Management Inc., is owned by an officer of the managing general 
partner of the Partnerships.

On March 17, 1995 the limited partners authorized the grant to the managing 
general partner of 10-year options to acquire up to 400,000 units. See Note 
5, Option Agreement.

2.  PROPERTY PURCHASES -  During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the 
Partnership completed the purchase of five properties.  Two of the properties 
were purchased for a total cash price of $2,586,000 plus additional 
capitalized costs of $56,000.  These two properties were casual dining 
restaurants. Three properties were purchased with 57,000 partnership units.  
One Burger King was purchased for 25,000 units with a guaranteed price of $24 
per unit, and two Pizza Huts were purchased for 32,000 units with a 
guaranteed price of $25 per unit.  The 25,000 units issued for the Burger 
King are unregistered units that are guaranteed to become registered two 
years after the closing date.  The 32,000 units issued for the Pizza Hut are 
unregistered until 180 days after the closing date.  Total capitalized costs 
included $30,000 of cash expenditures. Allocation of the cost of all 
properties purchased during 1996 has been done on a preliminary basis and 
will be finalized at year end.

In the normal course of business, the Partnership may sign purchase 
agreements 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, 1996, earnest money purchase deposits amounting to $550,000 
were on deposit for the purchase of three Schlotzsky's restaurants, three 
Pizza Hut restaurants, one KFC restaurant, two Hardees restaurants, one Taco 
Bell restaurant, one Wendy's restaurant and seventeen other regional chain 
restaurants for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $12,874,000.

3.  PROPERTY REMODELS - During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, six 
properties received a remodel allowance of $25,000 or $120,000 upon the 
renewal of their lease agreement.  The allowance is a contribution to the 
tenants remodeling costs.  The remodel allowance has been capitalized upon 
the completion of the remodel and amortized over the life of the related 
assets or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter.

4.  REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY - The revolving credit facility with Comerica 
Bank-Texas is $40,000,000 and was co-written by Compass Bank-Dallas. This 
revolving credit facility terminates on June 27, 1998.  The interest rate is 
the lower of LIBOR plus 180 basis points or the prime rate which was 8.25% on 
September 30, 1996. There is an unused line of credit fee of .25% per annum 
on the average daily excess of the commitment amount over the aggregate 
unpaid balance of the revolving loan which is charged and is payable on a 
quarterly basis.  The revolving credit facility is secured by a substantial 
number of the Partnership's assets. In addition to various reporting 
requirements mandated under the secured loan agreement, the Partnership must 
also maintain a tangible net worth in excess of $40,500,000; a debt to 
tangible net worth ratio of not more than 1.0 to 1.0 and cash flow coverage 
ratios of not less than (a) 1.2 to 1.0 based upon a Pro Forma Five Year Bank 
Debt Amortization schedule and (b) 2.75 to 1.0 based upon a Pro Forma  Twenty 
Year Bank Debt Amortization schedule.  On September 30, 1996, the total 
amount due equaled $23,766,000 which included a $732,000 outstanding Letter 
of Credit leaving $16,234,000 available.

A revolving credit facility of $20,000,000 was established with Morgan Keegan 
Mortgage Company Inc. on April 29, 1996.  This revolving credit facility 
terminates on the earlier of November 30, 1996 or the day after the 
Partnership obtains one or more committed credit facilities of not less than 
$60,000,000. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 300 basis points.  This revolving 
credit facility is secured by approximately 63 properties.  On September 30, 
1996, the total amount due equaled $12,981,000.  No additional draws are 
available.

5.  OPTION AGREEMENT -  In accordance with Section 5.05(a) of the Second 
Amended and Restated Agreement of the Limited Partnership, the Partnership 
granted to the Managing General Partner options (the "Options") to purchase 
400,000 units at an exercise price of $15.50 per unit.  On the grant date, 
March 17, 1995, the Partnership units closed at $15.00 per unit.  The Options 
are fully vested and exercisable, and will expire on March 24, 2006.  The 
Options may be exercised in full or in part at any time during the 10 year 
period and any unexercised portion remains exercisable until the expiration 
date.  Upon exercise of the options, the option price will be accounted for 
as a contribution of capital. The effect of the Options issued and 
outstanding is dilutive.  For the three and nine month periods ended 
September 30, 1996, the dilutive effect is immaterial.

9.   PRO FORMA (UNAUDITED) -  Since January 1, 1995, the Partnership acquired 
147 properties.  The pro forma revenues, net income, and net income per unit 
assuming these properties were purchased as of January 1, 1996 and 1995, 
respectively, is as follows.

The pro forma information was prepared by adjusting the actual consolidated 
results of the Partnerships for the nine month period ended September 30, 
1996 and 1995 and for the effects of the 1996 and 1995 acquisitions as if all 
acquisitions and related financing transactions including the sale of limited 
partnership units occurred on January 1, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

These pro forma operating results are not necessarily indicative of what the 
actual results of operations of the Partnership would have been assuming all 
of the properties were acquired as of January 1, 1996 and 1995, respectively, 
and do not purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

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

REVENUES:  For the quarter ended September 30,1996 rental revenues increased 
122% over those for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  Such revenues for 
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were also up 80% over the nine 
months ended September 30, 1995.  The increase was primarily due to an 
increase in the number of the Partnership's restaurant properties owned. 
Since September 30, 1995 the Partnership has purchased 141 restaurant 
properties. Management also believes that some growth reflects improvements 
in the overall performance of the Burger King system, and efforts with 
selected tenants to improve their restaurant's sales. The table below 
compares revenue from leased properties (GAAP) to gross rental receipts.

                                      THREE MONTHS ENDED   NINE MONTHS ENDED
                                          SEPTEMBER 30,      SEPTEMBER 30,

                                      ------------------   -----------------
                                         1996      1995       1996     1995
                                        ------    ------    -------   ------
Gross rental receipts                   $5,793    $3,061    $13,903   $8,592

Revenue from leased properties (GAAP)   $5,748    $2,592    $13,012   $7,210

TAXES, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:  Expenses for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 increased $413,000 from the same quarter in 1995.  Expenses
for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 were $756,000 compared to $343,000 in
1995.  An increase in the management fee of $248,000 and expenses that directly
correspond to the active growth of the Partnership were the primary reason for
increased general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September
30, 1996.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, general and
administrative expenses increased $512,000 from the nine months ended September
30, 1995.  Again, this increase was due to the active growth of the Partnership
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSES:  Expenses for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 increased $851,000 from the same quarter in 1995. 
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $1,218,000 compared to $343,000 in
1995.  This 255% increase directly correlates to the property acquisitions.  For
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, depreciation and amortization expenses
increased $1,540,000 from the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  

RENT AND INTEREST EXPENSES:  Rent expense increased $211,000 for the quarter 
ended September 30, 1996 from the same quarter in 1995 and increased $424,000 
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 over the nine months ended 
September 30, 1995.  Interest expense increased $649,000 to $709,000 for the 
quarter ended September 30, 1996 and increased $1,620,000 to $1,720,000 for 
the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Both the rent increase of 62% and 
the interest expense increase over the same quarter one year ago relate to 
the property acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY:  For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 cash flows from 
operating activities equaled $10,461,000, the Partnership's net borrowings 
under its line of credit amounted to $25,084,000 and the Partnership received 
$40,203,000 from the sale of limited partnership units.  These cash proceeds 
were used primarily to fund distributions of $7,981,000; pay the $64,455,000 
as the cash portion of the purchase price of 131 properties acquired for the 
nine months ended September 30, 1996.  At this time the Partnership has 
adequate liquidity for operations as well as to fund additional property 
purchases.

     On September 30, 1996, the balance available on the Comerica Bank-Texas 
$40,000,000 credit line facility equaled $16,234,000.
