LEASING ACTIVITIES

NOTE 3 – LEASING ACTIVITIES

The Partnership leases five 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 terminate in the years 2021 to 2023. Pursuant to the lease agreements, minimum rentals of $3,500 per month are due to the Partnership during the first six months of any non-operating period caused by an insured casualty loss.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the five restaurants operated by Del Taco, for which the Partnership is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of $1,083,816 and unaudited net losses of $46,956 as compared to unaudited sales of $1,088,082 and unaudited net losses of $63,461, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2011. Net income or loss of each restaurant includes charges for general and administrative expenses incurred in connection with supervision of restaurant operations and interest expense and the decrease in net loss from the corresponding period of the prior year primarily relates to decreases in operating costs.
