                                 MARCH 31, 1996

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements, some of which are unaudited, have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Registrant's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary
to present fairly the partnership's financial position at March 31, 1996, the
results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31,
1996 and 1995 have been included. Operating results for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.

NOTE 2 - NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT

Net income per Limited Partnership Unit is based upon the weighted average
number of Units outstanding during the periods presented which amounted to
165,415 in 1996 and 1995.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, annual partnership income or loss is
allocated one percent to the General Partner and 99 percent to the Limited
Partners. Partnership gains from any sale or refinancing will be allocated one
percent to the General Partner and 99 percent to the Limited Partners until
allocated gains and profits equal losses, distributions and syndication costs,
and until each class of Limited Partners receive their priority return as
defined in the Partnership Agreement. Additional gains will be allocated 12
percent to the General Partner and 88 percent to the Limited Partners.

NOTE 3 - LEASING ACTIVITIES

The Registrant leases (the "Leases") certain properties (the "Properties") for
operation of restaurants to Del Taco, Inc. ("General Partner") on a triple net
basis. The Leases are for terms of 32 years

DEL TACO INCOME PROPERTIES IV
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
MARCH 31, 1996

commencing with the completion of the restaurant facility located on each
Property and require monthly rentals equal to 12 percent of the gross sales of
the restaurants. There is no minimum rental under any of the Leases. The
Registrant had a total of three Properties leased as of March 31, 1996 and 1995,
one of which has been subleased to a Del Taco franchisee.

NOTE 4 - TRANSACTIONS WITH DEL TACO

The receivable from the General Partner consists primarily of rent accrued for
the month of March. The March rent was collected on April 11, 1996.

Del Taco, Inc. serves in the capacity of general partner in other partnerships
which are engaged in the business of operating restaurants, and four
partnerships which were formed for the purpose of acquiring real property in
California for construction of Mexican-American restaurants for lease under
long-term agreements to Del Taco, Inc. for operation under the Del Taco trade
name.

In addition, see Note 5 with respect to certain distributions to the General
Partner.

NOTE 5 - DISTRIBUTIONS

On April 9, 1996, a distribution to the Limited Partners of $53,134, or
approximately $.32 per Limited Partnership Unit, was approved. Such distribution
was paid April 16, 1996. The General Partner also received a distribution of
$537 with respect to its 1% partnership interest.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Registrant commenced offering of Limited Partnership Units on June 5, 1987.
By June 1, 1988, the sale of such Units provided a total capitalization for the
Registrant of $4,135,375 including $1,000 attributable to the Special Limited
Partner. 14.5 percent of the cash received from the sale of Limited Partnership
Units was used to pay commissions to brokers and to reimburse the General
Partner for offering costs incurred. Approximately $3,000,000 of the remaining
funds were expended for the acquisition of sites and construction of three
restaurants. During 1989, the first restaurant opened for business. The two
additional restaurants commenced operation in 1990. In February 1992, the
Registrant distributed to Limited Partners of record on December 31, 1991
$442,270 of net proceeds not utilized as reserves and not invested in
properties.

Since the three restaurants owned by the Registrant opened, cash flow from Lease
payments received from Del Taco, the Registrant's General Partner, which leases
all three restaurants, has provided adequate liquidity for operation of the
Registrant. However, the Registrant's overwhelmingly predominant source of
income to meet its expenses and fund distributions to its Limited Partners is
payments from Del Taco under the Leases, comprising primarily rent calculated on
the basis of the gross sales of the restaurants operated on the Properties, as
to which there are no contractually specified minimum or guaranteed amounts.
Thus, the adequacy of the Registrant's liquidity and capital resources in the
future will depend primarily upon the gross revenues of such restaurants as well
as upon Del Taco's financial condition and results of operations generally.

Results of Operations

The Registrant owns three Properties that are under long-term lease to Del Taco
for restaurant operations (Del Taco, in turn, has sub-leased one of the
restaurants to a Del Taco franchisee). The Registrant receives rental revenues
equal to 12 percent of restaurant sales. The Registrant had rental revenue of
$64,956 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 representing an increase from
the rental revenues of $64,161 in 1995. Such increase is directly attributable
to increased sales at the restaurants during the three months ended March
31,1996.

</TABLE>

Operating expenses include general and administrative expenses which consist
primarily of accounting fees and costs of distribution of information to the
Limited Partners. For the three months ended March 31, general and
administrative expenses decreased from $19,980 in 1995 to $19,877 in 1996. The
Registrant incurred depreciation expense in the amount of $25,937 and $25,926
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 respectively.

As a result of increased revenues totaling $826 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 and decreased expenses totaling $92 for the three months ended March
31, 1996, the net income of the Registrant increased from $18,530 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 to $19,448 for the corresponding period in 1996.

For the reasons stated under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" above, the
Registrant's results of operations in the future will depend primarily upon the
gross revenues of the restaurants located on the Properties leased to Del Taco
as well as upon Del Taco's financial condition and results of operations
generally.
