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. -6- 7 DEL TACO INCOME PROPERTIES IV NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 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. -7- 8 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: THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, -------------------- --------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 -------- -------- --------- -------- Orangethorpe Ave., Placentia, CA $ 38,296 $ 35,240 $ 107,448 $102,786 Lakeshore Drive, Lake Elsinore, CA 33,309 29,409 93,076 83,910 Highland Ave., San Bernardino, CA 18,015 17,835 51,812 49,148 -------- -------- --------- -------- Total $ 89,620 $ 82,484 $ 252,336 $235,844 ======== ======== ========= ======== 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. -8- 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED The following table breaks down general and administrative expenses by type of expense: Percentage of Total General & Administrative Expense -------------------------------- Nine Months Ended September 30, -------------------- 2000 1999 ------ ------ Accounting fees 62.89% 61.63% Distribution of information to limited partners 37.11 38.37 ------ ------ 100.00% 100.00% ====== ====== 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. -9- 10 PART II.
