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, 1997. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary
to present fairly the partnership's financial position at June 30, 1998, the
results of operations and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30,
1998 and 1997 have been included. Operating results for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1998.
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 1998 and 1997.
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 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 June 30, 1998 and 1997, one of which has been subleased to a Del
Taco franchisee.
For the three months ended June 30, 1998, the two restaurants operated by Del
Taco, for which the Registrant is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of
$419,908 and net income of $27,633 as compared to $377,174 and $14,444
respectively, for the corresponding period in 1997. Net income by restaurant
includes charges for general and administrative expenses incurred in connection
with supervision of restaurant operations and interest expense. For the three
months ended June 30, 1998, the one restaurant operated by a Del Taco
franchisee, for which the Registrant is the lessor, had unaudited sales of
$249,962 as compared with $224,509 during the same period in 1997.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the two restaurants operated by Del
Taco, for which the Registrant is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of
$807,407 and net income of $46,849 as compared to $722,898 and $25,432
respectively, for the corresponding period in 1997. For the six months ended
June 30, 1998, the one restaurant operated by a Del Taco franchisee, for which
the Registrant is the lessor, had unaudited sales of $466,031 as compared with
$425,019 during the same period in 1997.
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998, the Highland Avenue
restaurant in Highland (San Bernardino), California reported net income of $912
and $1,901 as compared to net losses of $3,731 and $7,155 respectively, for the
corresponding period in 1997.

NOTE 4 - TRANSACTIONS WITH DEL TACO - Continued
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 July 15, 1998, a distribution to the Limited Partners of $68,611 or
approximately $.41 per Limited Partnership Unit, was approved. Such distribution
was paid August 5, 1998. The General Partner also received a distribution of
$692 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
$80,385 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 representing an increase from
the rental revenues of $72,202 in 1997. The Registrant had rental revenue of
$152,813 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 representing an increase from
the rental revenues of $137,750 in 1997. Such increase is directly attributable
to increased sales at the restaurants during the three and six months ended June
30, 1998.

</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 June 30, general and administrative
expenses increased from $5,915 in 1997 to $8,791 in 1998. For the six months
ended June 30, general and administrative expenses increased from $25,007 in
1997 to $27,834 in 1998. General and administrative expenses increased due to
increased costs of printing and distribution. The Registrant incurred
depreciation expense in the amount of $25,937 for the three months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997 respectively. The Registrant incurred depreciation expense in
the amount of $51,874 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

<PAGE> 11
As a result of increased revenues totaling $8,534 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 and increased expenses totaling $2,876 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998, the net income of the Registrant increased from $40,739 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 to $46,397 for the corresponding period in
1998. As a result of increased revenues totaling $15,168 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and increased expenses totaling $2,827 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, the net income of the Registrant increased from $62,042 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $74,383 for the corresponding period in
1998.
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.
On May 19, 1998, the Special Limited Partner resigned. Consistent with the
Partnership Agreement, the General Partner assumed the duties and
responsibilities of the Special Limited Partner.
