NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
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 partnership's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary
to present fairly the partnership's financial position at September 30, 2000,
the results of operations and cash flows for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 have been included. Operating results for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.
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
165,375 in 2000 and 1999.
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 partnership leases certain properties for operation of restaurants to Del
Taco, Inc. 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.
For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the two restaurants operated by
Del Taco, for which the partnership is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales
of $469,260 and net income of $33,696 as compared to $442,290 and $42,179
respectively, for the corresponding period in 1999. 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 September 30, 2000, the one restaurant operated by a Del Taco
franchisee, for which the partnership is the lessor, had unaudited sales of
$277,573 as compared with $245,067 during the same period in 1999.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the two restaurants operated by
Del Taco, for which the partnership is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales
of $1,327,171 and net income of $87,599 as compared to $1,266,114 and $95,660
respectively, for the corresponding period in 1999. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, the one restaurant operated by a Del Taco franchisee, for
which the partnership is the lessor, had unaudited sales of $775,632 as compared
with $699,250 during the same period in 1999.
NOTE 4 - TRANSACTIONS WITH DEL TACO
The receivable from the General Partner consists primarily of rent accrued for
the month of September. The September rent was collected on October 13, 2000.
Del Taco, Inc. serves in the capacity of general partner in other partnerships
which are engaged in the business of operating restaurants, and three other
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 October 13, 2000, a distribution to the limited partners of $88,076 or
approximately $.53 per limited partnership unit, was approved. Such distribution
was paid October 18, 2000. The General Partner also received a distribution of
$890 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 partnership offered limited partnership units for sale between June 1987 and
June 1988. 14.5% of the $4.135 million raised through sale of limited
partnership units was used to pay commissions to brokers and to reimburse the
General Partner for offering costs incurred. Approximately $3 million of the
remaining funds were used to acquire sites and build three restaurants. In
February of 1992, approximately $442,000 raised during the offering but not
required to acquire sites and build restaurants was distributed to the limited
partners.
The three restaurants leased to Del Taco make up almost all of the income
producing assets of the partnership. Therefore, the business of the partnership
is almost entirely dependent on the success of the Del Taco trade name
restaurants that lease the properties. The success of the restaurants is
dependent on a large variety of factors, including, but not limited to, consumer
demand and preference for fast food, in general, and for Mexican-American food
in particular.
Results of Operations
The partnership 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 following table sets forth rental revenue earned by restaurant for the year:

</TABLE>
The partnership receives rental revenues equal to 12 percent of gross sales from
the restaurants. The partnership earned rental revenue of $89,620 during the
three month period ended September 30, 2000, which represents an increase of
$7,136 from 1999. The partnership earned rental revenue of $252,336 during the
nine month period ended September 30, 2000, which represents an increase of
$16,492 from 1999. The changes in rental revenue between 2000 and 1999 are
directly attributable to changes in sales levels at the restaurants under lease.

Depreciation decreased in 2000 because certain equipment became fully
depreciated during 1999.
For the three months ended September 30, 2000, net income increased by $19,125
from 1999 to 2000 due to the increase in revenues of $7,259 and the $12,120
decrease in depreciation expense which were partially offset by the $254
increase in general and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, net income increased by $49,415 from 1999 to 2000 due to the
increase in revenues of $17,107, the $32,143 decrease in depreciation expense
and the $165 decrease in general and administrative expenses.
