DEL TACO RESTAURANT PROPERTIES I
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 AND 2005
UNAUDITED
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for Del Taco Restaurant Properties I (the Partnership or the Company). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Partnership’s financial position at September 30, 2006, the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.
NOTE 2 — NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT
Net income per limited partnership unit is based on net income attributable to the limited partners (after 1% allocation to the general partner) using the weighted average number of units outstanding during the periods presented, which amounted to 8,751 units in 2006 and 2005.
Pursuant to the partnership agreement, annual partnership net income is allocated one percent to Del Taco LLC (Del Taco or the General Partner), formerly known as Del Taco, Inc., and 99 percent to the limited partners. A partnership net loss in any year will be allocated 24 percent to the General Partner and 76 percent to the limited partners until the losses so allocated equal income previously allocated. Any additional losses will be 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. Additional gains will be allocated 24 percent to the General Partner and 76 percent to the limited partners.
NOTE 3 — LEASING ACTIVITIES
The Partnership leases certain properties for operation of restaurants to Del Taco 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. The leases expire in the years 2019 to 2020. There is no minimum rental payments required under any of the leases.

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 AND 2005
UNAUDITED
NOTE 3 — LEASING ACTIVITIES — continued
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the five restaurants operated by Del Taco, for which the Partnership is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of $1,254,188 and unaudited net income of $12,406 as compared to $1,358,741 and $96,914, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2005. Del Taco net income by restaurant includes charges for general and administrative expenses incurred in connection with supervision of restaurant operations and interest expense and the decrease in net income from the corresponding period of the prior year primarily relates to additional interest expense from the debt that was issued in connection with the acquisition of Del Taco (see Note 7). For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the one restaurant operated by a Del Taco franchisee, for which the Partnership is the lessor, had unaudited sales of $251,487 as compared with $262,698 during the same period in 2005.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the five restaurants operated by Del Taco, for which the Partnership is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of $3,774,789 and unaudited net income of $121,512 as compared to $4,061,832 and $297,697, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2005. Del Taco net income by restaurant includes charges for general and administrative expenses incurred in connection with supervision of restaurant operations and interest expense and the decrease in net income from the corresponding period of the prior year primarily relates to additional interest expense from the debt that was issued in connection with the acquisition of Del Taco (see Note 7). For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the one restaurant operated by a Del Taco franchisee, for which the Partnership is the lessor, had unaudited sales of $752,892 as compared with $829,960 during the same period in 2005.
NOTE 4 — TRANSACTIONS WITH DEL TACO
The receivable from Del Taco consists primarily of rent accrued for the month of September 2006. The September rent receivable was collected in October 2006.
Del Taco 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 for operation under the Del Taco trade name.
In addition, see Note 5 with respect to certain distributions to the General Partner.

UNAUDITED
NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTIONS
On October 24, 2006, a distribution to the limited partners of $169,492, or approximately $19.37 per limited partnership unit, was approved. Such distribution was paid on October 31, 2006. The General Partner also received a distribution of $1,712 with respect to its 1% partnership interest. Total cash distributions paid in January, April, and July 2006 were $181,298, $162,265 and $158,816, respectively.
NOTE 6 — PAYABLE TO LIMITED PARTNERS
Payable to limited partners represents a reclassification from cash for distribution checks made to limited partners that have remained outstanding for 6 months or longer.
NOTE 7 — CONCENTRATION OF RISK
The 6 restaurants leased to Del Taco make up all of the income producing assets of the Partnership and contributed all of the Partnership’s rental revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. Therefore, the business of the Partnership is entirely dependent on the success of the Del Taco trade name restaurants that lease the properties.
NOTE 8 — ACQUISITION OF GENERAL PARTNER
On January 30, 2006, the parent company of the General Partner entered into an agreement to sell all of its issued and outstanding common stock to Sagittarius Acquisitions II, Inc. The transaction was consummated on March 29, 2006 and is not expected to have any impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Partnership.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Del Taco Restaurant Properties I (the Partnership or the Company) offered limited partnership units for sale between March 1983 and March 1984. In total, $4.375 million was raised through the sale of limited partnership units and used to acquire sites, build six restaurants, pay commissions to brokers and to reimburse Del Taco LLC (the General Partner or Del Taco) for offering costs incurred.
The six restaurants leased to Del Taco make up all of the income producing assets of the Partnership. Therefore, the business of the Partnership is 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, competition, consumer demand and preference for fast food, in general, and for Mexican-American food in particular.

Results of Operations
The Partnership owns six properties that are under long-term lease to Del Taco for restaurant operations (Del Taco, in turn, has subleased one of the restaurants to a Del Taco franchisee).
The following table sets forth rental revenue earned by restaurant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 (unaudited):

Total
  $ 180,681     $ 194,573     $ 543,322     $ 587,015  
 
                       
The Partnership receives rental revenues equal to 12 percent of gross sales from the restaurants. The Partnership earned rental revenue of $180,681 during the three month period ended September 30, 2006, which represents a decrease of $13,892 from the corresponding period in 2005. The Partnership earned rental revenue of $543,322 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, which represents a decrease of $43,693 from the corresponding period in 2005. The changes in rental revenues between 2006 and 2005 are directly attributable to changes in sales levels at the restaurants under lease due to local competitive and industry factors.

General and administrative costs for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 decreased from the corresponding period in 2005 due to decreased auditing and printing costs. General and administrative costs for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 increased from the corresponding period in the previous year due to increased auditing, accounting and distribution of printed materials costs, partially offset by decreased software licensing costs.
For the three month period ended September 30, 2006, net income decreased $8,691 from 2006 to 2005 due to the decrease in revenues of $13,892, which was partially offset by the increase in interest and other income of $634, the $861 decrease in general and administrative expenses and the $3,706 decrease in depreciation expense. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, net income decreased by $33,772 from 2006 to 2005 due to a decrease in revenues of $43,693 and the increase in general and administrative expenses of $1,899, partially offset by the increase in interest and other income of $702 and the $11,118 decrease in depreciation expense.
Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

None.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, as well as disclosures included elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q are based upon the Partnership’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Partnership believes the critical accounting policies that most impact the financial statements are described below. A summary of the significant accounting policies of the Partnership can be found in Note 1 to the Financial Statements which is included in the Partnership’s December 31, 2005 Form 10-K.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — continued
Property and Equipment: Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives which are 20 years for land improvements, 35 years for buildings and improvements, and 10 years for machinery and equipment.
The Partnership accounts for property and equipment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (SFAS) 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets.” SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating long-lived assets held for use, an impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying value of the asset. Once a determination has been made that an impairment loss should be recognized for long-lived assets, various assumptions and estimates are used to determine fair value including, among others, estimated costs of construction and development, recent sales of comparable properties and the opinions of fair value prepared by independent real estate appraisers. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
None.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
  (a)   Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures:
      As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s President and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Treasurer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company’s periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
  (b)   Changes in internal controls:
      There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
  (c)   Asset-Backed issuers:
      Not applicable.
