NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1995
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, 1994. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) necessary to present fairly the partnership's financial position at
March 31, 1995, the results of operations and cash flows for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 have been included. Operating results
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1995.
NOTE 2 - RESTRICTED CASH
At March 31, 1995 the partnership had a restricted cash balance of $132,262.
The restricted cash is a death and disability redemption fund. Such fund is
maintained in an interest bearing account at a major commercial bank. A
Limited Partner has the right, under certain circumstances involving such
Limited Partner's death or disability, to tender to the Registrant for
redemption all of the Units owned of record by such Limited Partner. The
redemption price will be equal to the partners capital account balance as of
the redemption date. The death and disability fund was established in 1987.
The fund was limited to two percent of the gross proceeds from sale of the
limited partnership units. Requests for redemption made after the funds in the
death and disability fund are depleted will not be accepted.
NOTE 3 - 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
47,528 in 1995 and 47,618 in 1994.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
MARCH 31, 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 15
percent to the General Partner and 85 percent to the Limited Partners.
NOTE 4 - 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 35 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, except for the restaurant location in
Twentynine Palms, California. In accordance with an agreement entered into
November 30, 1993, effective February 1, 1994, the Del Taco restaurant in
Twentynine Palms, California ceased operation as a Del Taco and reopened on
February 3, 1994 under the trade name of Bobby Lyle's Incredible Edibles. In
connection with the agreement, the lease agreement has been amended to reflect
a base rent of $3,333.33 per month and overage rent of 12% of sales for annual
sales greater than $333,333. In September 1994, the restaurant located in
Twentynine Palms, California (Bobby Lyle's Incredible Edibles) ceased
operation. The subleasee continues to pay rent of $3,333.33 per month to Del
Taco, Inc. which was, in turn, paid to the Registrant. On March 14, 1995, the
subleasee re-opened the Twentynine Palms restaurant. The Registrant had a
total of ten Properties leased to Del Taco as of March 31, 1995 (Del Taco, in
turn, has subleased two of the restaurants).
NOTE 5 - TRANSACTIONS WITH DEL TACO
The receivable from General Partner consists primarily of rent accrued for the
month of March. The March rent was collected on April 20, 1995.

MARCH 31, 1995
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 6 with respect to certain distributions to the General
Partner.
NOTE 6 - DISTRIBUTIONS
On April 14, 1995, a distribution to the Limited Partners of $142,444, or
approximately $3.00 per Limited Partnership Unit, was approved. Such
distribution was paid on April 19, 1995. The General Partner also received a
distribution of $1,439 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 February 21,
1986. By June 1, 1987, the sale of such Units provided a total capitalization
for the Registrant of $12,001,000 including $1,000 attributable to the Original
Limited Partner. 14.7 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 $9,500,000 of the
remaining funds were expended for the acquisition of sites and construction of
ten restaurants. During 1987, the first three restaurants opened for business.
Four additional restaurants opened in 1988, two additional restaurants opened
in 1989, and the tenth restaurant opened in 1990. In February 1992, the
Registrant distributed to Limited Partners of record on December 31, 1991
$280,553 of net proceeds not utilized as reserves and not invested in
Properties.
Since the ten restaurants owned by the Registrant opened, cash flow from Lease
payments received from Del Taco, the Registrant's General Partner, which leases
all ten restaurants (two of which have been subleased), have 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, except for the
restaurant located in Twentynine Palms, 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.
The March 31, 1995 restricted cash balance is a death and disability redemption
fund totalling $132,262. Such fund is maintained in an interest bearing
account at a major commercial bank. A Limited Partner has the right, under
certain circumstances involving such Limited Partner's death or disability, to
tender to the Registrant for redemption all of the Units owned of record by
such Limited Partner. The redemption price will be equal to the partners
capital account balance as of the redemption date. The death and disability
fund was established in 1987. The fund was limited to two percent of the gross
proceeds from sale of the limited partnership units. Requests for redemption
made after the funds in the death and disability fund are
-9-
10
depleted will not be accepted. All questions regarding the eligibility of a
Limited Partner or the estate of a deceased Limited Partner to participate in
the redemption fund are determined by the Special Limited Partner.
Results of Operations
The Registrant owns ten Properties that are under long-term lease to Del Taco
for restaurant operations (Del Taco, in turn, has subleased two of the
restaurants). In accordance with an agreement entered into November 30, 1993,
effective February 1, 1994, the Del Taco restaurant in Twentynine Palms,
California ceased operation as a Del Taco franchise and reopened February 3,
1994 under the trade name of Bobby Lyle's Incredible Edibles. In September
1994, the restaurant located in Twentynine Palms, California (Bobby Lyle's
Incredible Edibles) ceased operation. The subleasee continues to pay rent of
$3,333.33 per month to Del Taco, Inc. which was, in turn, paid to the
Registrant. On March 14, 1995 the subleasee re-opened the Twentynine Palms
restaurant. The Registrant receives rental revenues equal to 12 percent of
restaurant sales. The Registrant had rental revenue of $168,867 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, representing an increase from the rental revenues
of $158,085 during the same period in 1994. Such increase is directly
attributable to increased sales at the restaurants.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage
relationship to total general and administrative expenses, and the percentage
increase and decrease, of items included in the Registrant's Statements of
Income:

====== ======
Operating expenses include general and administrative expenses which consis
primarily of accounting fees and costs of distribution of
-10-
11
information to the Limited Partners. For the three months ended March 31,
general andministrative expenses decreased from $26,472 in 1994 to $24,102 in
1995. The Registrant incurred depreciation expense in the amount of $71,688
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 respectively.
As a result of the increase in revenues totalling $10,659 for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the corresponding period in 1994, and the
decrease in general and administrative expenses totalling $2,370, the
Registrant's net income increased from $62,181 for the quarter ended March 31,
1994 to $75,210 for the corresponding period in 1995.
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.
