DEL TACO RESTAURANT PROPERTIES II

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

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, 2013 for Del Taco Restaurant Properties II (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, 2014, the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. Amounts related to disclosure of December 31, 2013 balances within these condensed financial statements were derived from the 2013 audited financial statements.

Management has evaluated events subsequent to September 30, 2014 through the date that the accompanying condensed financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for transactions and other events which may require adjustment of and/or disclosure in such financial statements.

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 one percent allocation to the general partner) using the weighted average number of units outstanding during the periods presented which amounted to 27,006 in 2014 and 2013.

Pursuant to the partnership agreement, annual partnership income or loss is allocated one percent to Del Taco LLC, formerly known as Del Taco, Inc. (Del Taco or 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 previously allocated. Additional gains will be allocated 15 percent to the General Partner and 85 percent to the limited partners.

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 September 30, 2014, the five restaurants operated by Del Taco, for which the Partnership is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of $1,196,553 and unaudited net losses of $33,604 as compared to unaudited sales of $1,146,028 and unaudited net losses of $41,568, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2013. 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 increases in revenues.

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

UNAUDITED

NOTE 3 - LEASING ACTIVITIES - continued

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the five restaurants operated by Del Taco, for which the Partnership is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of $3,559,523 and unaudited net losses of $77,015 as compared to $3,378,234 and unaudited net losses of $145,924 for the corresponding period in 2013. 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 increases in revenues.

NOTE 4 - TRANSACTIONS WITH DEL TACO

The receivable from Del Taco consists primarily of rent accrued for the month of September 2014. The September rent receivable was collected in October 2014.

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.

NOTE 5 - DISTRIBUTIONS

Total cash distributions declared and paid in February, June and August 2014 were $113,822, $121,644 and $132,486, respectively. On October 31, 2014, a distribution to the limited partners of $117,260, or approximately $4.34 per limited partnership unit, was approved. Such distribution was paid on November 6, 2014. The General Partner also received a distribution of $1,184 with respect to its 1% partnership interest in November 2014.

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 six months or longer.

NOTE 7 - CONCENTRATION OF RISK

The five 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, 2014 and 2013. Therefore, the business of the Partnership is entirely dependent on the success of the Del Taco trade name restaurants that lease the properties.

The Partnership maintains substantially all of its cash and cash equivalents at one major commercial bank. Although the Partnership at times maintains balances that exceed the federally insured limit, it has not experienced any losses related to these balances and management believes the credit risk to be minimal.

NOTE 8 - COMMUNICATION FROM CERTAIN LIMITED PARTNERS

During the third quarter of 2014, several limited partners communicated to the General Partner their desire to potentially sell all of the properties and then dissolve the Partnership. Pursuant to the Partnership agreement, any decision to sell all of the properties and to dissolve the Partnership would require approval from a majority in interest of limited partners. On October 1, 2014 the General Partner initiated a “straw poll” of all limited partners to determine if there is sufficient interest to support a potential sale of the properties and dissolution of the Partnership, as disclosed in Form 8-K filed on October 1, 2014. Limited partner responses to the straw poll will be evaluated by the General Partner to determine whether or not there is sufficient interest to initiate a sale process.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Del Taco Restaurant Properties II (the “Partnership” or the “Company”) offered limited partnership units for sale between September 1984 and December 1985. $6.751 million was raised through the sale of limited partnership units and used to acquire sites and build seven restaurants and also to pay commissions to brokers and to reimburse Del Taco LLC (the General Partner or Del Taco) for offering costs incurred. Two restaurants were sold in 1994.

The five 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 owned seven properties that were under long-term lease to Del Taco for restaurant operations. Two restaurants were sold in 1994 and five are currently operating.

The following table sets forth rental revenue earned by restaurant (unaudited):

The Partnership receives rental revenues equal to 12 percent of gross sales from the restaurants. The Partnership earned rental revenue of $143,586 during the three month period ended September 30, 2014, which represents an increase of $6,063 from the corresponding period in 2013. The Partnership earned rental revenue of $427,143 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, which represents an increase of $21,755 from the corresponding period in 2013. The changes in rental revenues between 2013 and 2014 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 and nine month periods increased primarily due to costs related to legal fees related to the matter described in Note 8 to the condensed financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2014, net income decreased by $3,802 from 2013 to 2014 due to the increase in general and administrative expenses of $11,598, partially offset by the increase in revenues of $6,063 and the increase in interest and other income of $1,733. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, net income increased $12,605 from 2013 to 2014 due to the increase in revenues of $21,755 and the increase in interest and other income of $4,344, partially offset by the increase in general and administrative expenses of $13,494.

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 included in the Partnership’s December 31, 2013 Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition: Rental revenue is recognized based on 12 percent of gross sales of the restaurants for the corresponding period, and is earned at the point of sale.

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 authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that requires 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer 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.
