                     U.S. RESTAURANT PROPERTIES MASTER L.P.
                   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 Limited Partnership  (Operating
Partnership),  also a Delaware  limited  partnership,  acquired from Burger King
Corporation (BKC) for $94,592,000 in February 1986 an interest in 128 restaurant
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 they are referred to collectively as the "Partnerships" or the
"Partnership." QSV Properties,  Inc. (QSV), formerly U.S. Restaurant Properties,
Inc., the managing general partner,  and BKC, the special general partner,  were
both indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries of Grand Metropolitan PCC prior to May
17, 1994, at which time QSV was sold to the current owners. On January 20, 1995,
the Partnership paid Burger King  Corporation  $16,000 for its 0.02% interest in
the Operating and Master Limited Partnership.

The Partnership has 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., U.S.  Restaurant  Properties  Carolina Ltd.,  U.S.  Restaurant  Properties
Lincoln, Ltd., and U.S. Restaurant Properties Norman, Ltd. USRP (Dee Dee), LLC.,
USRP (Sybra), LLC. and USRP (Minnesota),  LLC.  Collectively,  these entities,
in addition to the  Partnerships  are  referred to as the  "Company."  All of
these  entities  are  included  in the  consolidated financial statements.

The Partnership may issue an unlimited number of units. The units outstanding as
of June 30,  1997  and  December  31,  1996  totaled  7,846,254  and  6,894,003,
respectively.

QSV Properties, Inc. (formerly named U.S.  Restaurant  Properties,  Inc.) is the
Managing  General Partner of the Partnership.

* Accounting Policies - A summary of accounting policies followed by the Company
is included in the 1996 Annual Report.  The Company follows 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 Company  after  elimination  of  significant
inter-entity 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.

                                  Page 8 of 16
<PAGE>


The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in conformity with GAAP and should be read in conjunction  with the Registrant's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1996. The results of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.

Certain  classifications  for the six  month  period  ended  June 30,  1996 were
changed to conform to the current period presentation.

The  consolidated  balance sheet as of June 30, 1997 and the other  consolidated
financial  statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
are unaudited,  but management of the Registrant  believes that all  adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of
the Company's  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.  Unit equivalents include the weighted average
number of assumed  equivalent units outstanding from unit options and unit price
guarantees if dilutive using the treasury stock method.

Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 128,  "Earnings  per
Share," which is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997,  requires
that companies disclose basic earnings per share using only the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during a period.  Currently unit equivalents
are included in this  computation if they are material.  Fully diluted  earnings
per unit will  continue  to be  calculated  in a manner  similar to the  current
calculation.  Compliance with SFAS No. 128 would result in earnings per unit for
the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1997  and  1996  to be  $0.28  and  $0.34,
respectively.  The  earnings per unit for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996 would be $0.55 and $0.61, respectively.

* Related Party  Transactions - The managing  general  partner,  QSV Properties,
Inc., is responsible  for managing the business and affairs of the Company.  The
Company pays 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 services rendered to the Partnerships. The allowance for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997 was $593,000 compared to $259,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 1996 and the  allowance  for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $973,000
compared to  $458,000  for the six months  ended June 30,  1996.  The  Company's
accounts payable balance includes $593,000 and $416,000 for this allowance as of
June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.  The managing general partner
also receives a 1% finders fee on all  acquisitions,  which amounted to $621,000
for the quarter  ended June 30, 1997  compared to $522,000 in the quarter  ended
June 30,  1996.  For the six  months  ended  June 30,  1997 the 1%  finders  fee
amounted to $820,000  compared  to  $676,000  for the six months  ended June 30,
1996.

A note receivable of $255,000 is due from Arkansas  Restaurants #10 L.P. at June
30, 1997. 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. is owned by an officer of the managing general partner.

A notes receivable of $920,000 is due from Southeast  Fast-Food  Partners,  L.P.
(SFF).  The notes  receivable is due on July 1, 1998  ($57,000) and July 1, 1999
($863,000)  and has an  interest  rate of 9.0% per annum.  In  addition,  a note
receivable  of  $136,000 is  due  from  the owners  of  SFF.   This note is due

                                  Page 9 of 16

<PAGE>


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., is owned by an officer
of the Partnership's managing general partner.

During 1996, the Company agreed to make available to USRP Development  Company a
revolving  line of credit in the  principal  amount  of  $5,000,000,  to be used
solely for paying for the acquisition  and development of restaurant  properties
which will be purchased by the Company upon completion of development.  The line
of credit is secured by certain development  properties and bears interest at an
annual  rate of 9.0%.  The line of credit is  payable  in  monthly  installments
beginning  July  1997  and  matures  in  October  2001.  At June 30,  1997,  the
outstanding balance was $2,090,000 and is included in Notes Receivable - related
parties.

2.  Property  Purchases - During the quarter  ended June 30,  1997,  the Company
completed the purchase of 99  restaurant  properties  for an aggregate  purchase
price of $63,704,000.  The restaurant  properties were purchased with only cash.
The 99 restaurant  properties include 75 Arby's,  five Schlotzsky's,  four Pizza
Hut's,  two  Popeye's,   two  Carlos  O'Kelly's,   and  11  regional  restaurant
properties.  Allocation  of the  cost  of the  properties  has  been  done  on a
preliminary  basis and will be  finalized  at year  end.  The  Carlos  O'Kelly's
restaurant   properties  were  acquired  from  Carlos  O'Kelly's,   Inc.  Carlos
O'Kelly's, Inc. is owned by a director of the Managing General Partner.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1997,  the Company  completed the purchase of
32  restaurant  properties  for an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  $20,757,000,
including the value of 118,579 Partnership Units issued as part of the aggregate
purchase price. The 118,579  Partnership units have a guaranteed market value of
$25.30 on the second  anniversary  date of the closing.  The Partnership  Units'
market value on the closing date equaled $28.00 per  Partnership  Unit.  Sixteen
restaurant  properties were purchased with a combination of cash and Partnership
Units;  and 16  restaurant  properties  were  purchased  with only cash.  The 32
restaurant  properties  include 16 Bruegger's  Bagel's,  four Pizza Hut's, three
Schlotzsky's, two Arby's, and seven regional restaurant properties.

On April 29, 1997, a restaurant property located in Forest Park, OH was sold for
$1,171,000, net of closing costs at a gain of $266,000.

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 June 30, 1997,  earnest money purchase deposits  amounting to $1,090,000 were
on deposit  for the  purchase  of five  Hardee's  restaurants,  five Taco Cabana
restaurants,  three Wendy's restaurants, two Pizza Hut restaurants, and 29 other
regional chain restaurants.

3.  Revolving  Credit  Facility - During  the  quarter  ended June 30,  1997 the
Company's line of credit was increased to $110 million which matures on June 27,
1999. The interest rate on this debt floats at 180 basis percentage points above
LIBOR.  The effective  interest  rate at June 30, 1997 was 7.5812%.  There is an
unused line of credit fee of 0.25% 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. In addition to various reporting
requirements  mandated under the secured loan  agreement,  the Company must also
maintain a tangible  net worth,  as defined in the loan  document,  in excess of
$85,000,000;  maintain a combined GAAP Partner's Capital, as defined in the loan
document, of not less than $100,000,000;  maintain a cash flow coverage ratio of
not less than 1 to 1 based  upon a proforma  eight year bank debt  amortization;
and maintain certain other financial covenants as defined in

                                 Page 10 of 16

the loan agreement.  The Company's  management believes it is in compliance with
all loan provisions. On June 30, 1997, the outstanding  balance was  $92,313,000
and the available borrowing balance was $17,287,000.

4. Notes  Payable - On February  26, 1997,  the Company  issued  $40,000,000  in
privately  placed debt which  consists of  $12,500,000  Series A Senior  Secured
Guaranteed  Notes with a 8.06%  interest rate, due date of January 31, 2000; and
$27,500,000 Series B Senior Secured Guaranteed Notes with a 8.30% interest rate,
due date of January 31,  2002.  The debt and the  revolving  credit  facility is
collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company.

5. REIT  Conversion - On June 27, 1997 the limited  partners voted in favor of a
conversion from a Master Limited Partnership to a self-advised REIT (Real Estate
Investment  Trust). The actual conversion is expected to occur before the end of
the third quarter.  During the quarter ended June 30, 1997 a one-time charge was
made for these expenses which totaled $744,000.

6. Subsequent events - On July 2, 1997, five Taco Cabana  restaurant  properties
and one regional chain  restaurant  property were purchased for a total purchase
price of  $6,472,000 in two separate  transactions.  These  purchase  prices are
exclusive  of the 1% paid to the  managing  general  partner  and other  closing
costs.

On July 25, 1997, one El Chico restaurant property was purchased for $1,250,000.
This purchase price is exclusive of the 1% paid to the managing  general partner
and other closing costs.

On July 28, 1997, a distribution  of $0.525 per  partnership  unit was declared.
The record date for such  distribution is September 5, 1997 and the distribution
date is September 12, 1997.

On July 30, 1997, the  Partnership  sold 172,882 units in one private  placement
for net proceeds of  $4,750,000.  The issuance was to a single  investor  with a
private placement agreement to purchase  $19,000,000 in partnership units over a
one year period. This purchase represented the fulfillment of that commitment.

On July 31,  1997,  14  Burger  King  restaurants  properties,  three  Pizza Hut
restaurants  properties,   two  Wendy's  restaurants  properties,  two  Hardee's
restaurants  properties and 14 other regional chain restaurants  properties were
purchased  in  three  separate  transactions  for  a  total  purchase  price  of
$23,492,000,  including the value of 335,218 partnership units issued as part of
the total purchase price. The partnership  units issued are guaranteed to have a
market  value of $36.00  per unit two years  from the  transaction  date.  These
purchase prices are exclusive of the 1% paid to the managing general partner and
other closing costs.

On August 7, 1997, one Burger King restaurant property was sold for $640,000 in
cash.

7. Pro Forma  (unaudited) - Since January 1, 1996,  the Company has acquired 315
properties.  The pro forma  operating  results  assuming these  properties  were
purchased as of January 1, 1996 is as follows.

The pro forma  information  was  prepared by adjusting  the actual  consolidated
results of the  Partnerships  for the six month  period  ended June 30, 1997 and
1996 for the effects of the 1996 and 1997  acquisitions  as if all  acquisitions
and related  financing  transactions  including the sale of limited  partnership
units occurred on January 1, 1996.

These pro forma  operating  results are not  necessarily  indicative of what the
actual  results of operations of the Company would have been assuming all of the
properties  were  acquired as of January 1, 1996 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

Results of Operations.

Revenues  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1997  totaled  $8,391,000,  an
increase of 95 percent from the  $4,309,000  recorded for the three months ended
June 30,  1996.  Such  revenues  for the six months  ended June 30, 1997 totaled
$14,544,000, an increase of 100 percent from the $7,264,000 recorded for the six
months  ended June 30, 1996.  The  increase in revenues is  primarily  due to an
increase in the number of the Company's restaurant properties.  Since January 1,
1996 the Company has  purchased  315 new  restaurant  properties.  In  addition,
straight-lining  of  escalating  rent for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1997
contributed to a 4 percent  increase in total revenue as compared to a 2 percent
contribution for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

Net income for the three  months  ended June 30,  1997  totaled  $2,147,000,  an
increase of 15 percent from the  $1,862,000  recorded for the three months ended
June 30,  1996.  Net  income  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1997  totaled
$4,099,000,  an increase of 29 percent from the $3,184,000  recorded for the six
months ended June 30, 1996.  Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997
was  affected by two unusual  items.  These  include a gain from the sale of one
property of $266,000  that  partially  offset the  one-time  expense of $744,000
associated  with the conversion to a self-advised  REIT (Real Estate  Investment
Trust).

Taxes,  general and administrative  expenses for the three months ended June 30,
1997 increased $744,000 as compared to the three months ended June 30 1996. Such
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased $1,136,000 as compared
to the six months  ended June 30, 1996.  The primary  reason for the increase is
the fee paid to the  managing  general  partner.  The fee  paid to the  managing
general partner increased  $344,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and
$515,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same periods
in 1996.  Other  expense  increases  relate  to an  increase  in the  number  of
employees  and other costs  associated  with the  increase in  properties  under
contract and the growth of the company.

Depreciation and amortization  expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997
totaled  $1,800,000,  an increase of 114 percent from the $841,000  recorded for
the same period in 1996. Such depreciation and amortization  expense for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 totaled  $3,366,000,  an increase of 145 percent from
the $1,375,000  recorded for the six months ended June 30, 1996. These increases
directly correlate to the property acquisitions made since June 30, 1996.

Rent  expense for the three  months  ended June 30, 1997  totaled  $600,000,  an
increase of 23 percent  from the  $486,000  recorded  for the three months ended
June 30, 1996.  Such rent expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 totaled
$1,189,000,  an increase of 33 percent  from the  $897,000  recorded for the six
months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in rent expense directly  correlates to
the property acquisitions.

Interest expense, net of interest income of $166,000, for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 totaled $2,141,000 compared to $639,000, net of interest income of
$39,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. Such interest expense,  net of
interest  income of  $278,000,  for the six months  ended June 30, 1997  totaled
$3,425,000 compared to $957,000, net of interest income of $53,000, recorded for
the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase in interest  expense  directly
correlates to the additional debt associated with the property acquisitions.

Liquidity and  Capital Resources.

For the six months  ended June 30,  1997 cash  flows from  operating  activities
equaled  $7,693,000,  the Company's net borrowings  under its line of credit and
long-term debt amounted to $62,827,000 and the Company received $21,025,000 from
the sale of the  Company's  partnership  units.  These cash  proceeds  were used
primarily to fund cash  distributions  of $7,639,000 and to pay the  $81,005,000
cash  portion of the  property  acquisitions  for the six months  ended June 30,
1997. At this time the Company believes it has adequate liquidity for operations
as well as to fund additional property purchases.

On June 30, 1997 the balance available on the Company's $110,000,000 credit line
facility equaled $17,287,000.
