DIVALL INSURED INCOME PROPERTIES 2 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with DiVall Insured Income Properties 2 Limited Partnerships (the Partnership) 2006 annual audited financial statements within Form 10-K.
These unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, which are in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the Partnerships financial position as of September 30, 2007, and the statements of income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
DiVall Insured Income Properties 2 Limited Partnership was formed on November 18, 1987, pursuant to the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Wisconsin. The initial capital, contributed during 1987, consisted of $300, representing aggregate capital contributions of $200 by the former general partners and $100 by the Initial Limited Partner. The minimum offering requirements were met and escrowed subscription funds were released to the Partnership as of April 7, 1988. On January 23, 1989, the former general partners exercised their option to increase the offering from 25,000 interests to 50,000 interests and to extend the offering period to a date no later than August 22, 1989. On June 30, 1989, the general partners exercised their option to extend the offering period to a date no later than February 22, 1990. The offering closed on February 22, 1990, at which point 46,280.3 interests had been sold, resulting in total offering proceeds, net of underwriting compensation and other offering costs, of $39,358,468.
The Partnership is currently engaged in the business of owning and operating its investment portfolio of commercial real estate properties (the Properties). The Properties are leased on a triple net basis to, and operated by, franchisees of national, regional, and local retail chains under long-term leases. As of September 30, 2007 the lessees are primarily fast food, family style, and casual/theme restaurants, but also include a video rental store. The Partnership owned 18 investment properties, two of which were held for sale as of September 30, 2007.
Rental revenue from investment properties is recognized on the straight-line basis over the term of the respective lease. Percentage rents are only accrued when the tenant has reached the sales breakpoint stipulated in the lease.
Tenant accounts receivable are comprised of billed but uncollected amounts due for monthly rents and other charges, and amounts due for scheduled rent increases for which rentals have been earned and will be collected in the future under the terms of the leases. Receivables are recorded at managements estimate of the amounts that will be collected.
As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there were no recorded values for allowance for doubtful accounts based on an analysis of specific accounts and historical experience.
The Partnership considers its operations to be in only one segment, the operation of a portfolio of commercial real estate leased on a triple net basis, and therefore no segment disclosure is made.
6
Depreciation of the properties and improvements are provided on a straight-line basis over 31.5 years, which are the estimated useful lives of the buildings and improvements.
Deferred charges represent leasing commissions paid when properties are leased and upon the negotiated extension of a lease. Leasing commissions are capitalized and amortized over the term of the lease.
Property taxes, insurance and ground rent on the Partnerships investment properties are the responsibility of the tenant. However, when a tenant fails to make the required tax payments or when a property becomes vacant, the Partnership makes the appropriate payment to avoid possible foreclosure of the property. Such taxes, insurance and ground rent are accrued in the period in which the liability is incurred. The Partnership owns one (1) restaurant, which is located on a parcel of land where it has entered into a long-term ground lease. The tenant, Kentucky Fried Chicken, is responsible for the $3,400 per month ground lease payment.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit with financial institutions and highly liquid temporary investments with initial maturities of 90 days or less.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Partnership to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments. The Partnership generally maintains cash and cash equivalents in federally insured accounts.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities) at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Assets disposed of or deemed to be classified as held for sale require the reclassification of current and previous years operations to discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144).
In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 47 (FIN 47), Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of SFAS No. 143, which clarifies that a liability for the performance of an asset retirement activity should be recorded if the obligation to perform such activity is unconditional, whether or not the timing or method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. FIN 47 was effective no later than the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005. FIN 47 did not have a significant impact on the Partnerships financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Partnerships adoption of FIN 48 has not had a material impact on its financial statements.
7
The Partnership periodically reviews its long-lived assets, primarily real estate, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Partnerships review involves comparing current and future operating performance of the assets, the most significant of which is undiscounted operating cash flows, to the carrying value of the assets. Based on this analysis, a provision for possible loss is recognized, if any.
During the Second Quarter of 2007, capitalized roofing expenditures of approximately $21,000 were made to the Blockbuster, Ogden, UT property. The property was reclassified to property held for sale in May of 2007.
During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of approximately $30,000 and $72,000, respectively. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of approximately $1,016,000 and $200,000, respectively. The income from discontinued operations is attributable to the reclassification of the Wendys- 1515 Savannah Hwy., Charleston, SC property and the Blockbuster, Ogden, UT property to properties held for sale in the First and Second Quarters of 2007, respectively. Discontinued operations also includes income related to the Sunrise Preschool, Phoenix, AZ property, which was reclassified to property held for sale in the Second Quarter of 2006 and sold in April of 2007. The 2007 income from discontinued operations included a Second Quarter net gain on the sale of the Sunrise Preschool property of approximately $862,000.
The components of properties held for sale in the condensed balance sheets as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are outlined below.

The Partnership will be dissolved on November 30, 2010, or earlier upon the prior occurrence of any of the following events: (a) the disposition of all properties of the Partnership; (b) the written determination by the General Partner that the Partnerships assets may constitute plan assets for purposes of ERISA; (c) the agreement of Limited Partners owning a majority of the outstanding interests to dissolve the Partnership; or (d) the dissolution, bankruptcy, death, withdrawal, or incapacity of the last remaining General Partner, unless an additional General Partner is elected previously by a majority of the Limited Partners. During the Second Quarters of 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007, consent solicitations were circulated (the 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007 Consents, respectively), which if approved would have authorized the sale of the Partnerships assets and dissolution of the Partnership. A majority of the Limited Partners did not vote in favor of either the 2001, 2003, 2005 or 2007 Consents. Therefore, the Partnership continues to operate as a going concern.
No provision for federal income taxes has been made, as any liability for such taxes would be that of the individual partners rather than the Partnership. At December 31, 2006, the tax basis of the Partnerships assets exceeded the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements by approximately $6,862,000.
2. REGULATORY INVESTIGATION:
A preliminary investigation during 1992 by the Office of Commissioner of Securities for the State of Wisconsin and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Investigation) revealed that during at least the four years ended December 31, 1992, the former general partners of the Partnership, Gary J. DiVall (DiVall) and Paul E. Magnuson (Magnuson) had transferred substantial cash assets of the Partnership and two affiliated publicly registered partnerships, DiVall Insured Income Fund Limited Partnership (DiVall 1) and DiVall Income Properties 3 Limited Partnership (DiVall 3) (collectively the Partnerships) to various other entities previously sponsored by or otherwise affiliated with DiVall and Magnuson. The unauthorized transfers were in violation of the respective Partnership Agreements and resulted, in part, from material weaknesses in the internal control systems of the Partnerships.
Subsequent to discovery, and in response to the regulatory inquiries, a third-party Permanent Manager, The Provo Group, Inc. (TPG), was appointed (effective February 8, 1993) to assume responsibility for daily operations and assets of the Partnerships as well as to develop and execute a plan of restoration for the Partnerships. Effective May 26, 1993, the Limited Partners, by written consent of a majority of interests, elected the Permanent Manager, TPG, as General Partner. TPG terminated the former general partners by accepting their tendered resignations.
In 1993, the current General Partner estimated an aggregate recovery of $3 million for the Partnerships. At that time, an allowance was established against amounts due from former general partners and their affiliates reflecting the estimated $3 million receivable.
9
This net receivable was allocated among the Partnerships based on each Partnerships pro rata share of the total misappropriation, and restoration costs and recoveries have been allocated based on the same percentage. Through September 30, 2007, $5,870,000 of recoveries have been received which exceeded the original estimate of $3 million. As a result, from January 1, 1996 through September 30, 2007, the Partnership has recognized a total of $1,182,000 as recovery of amounts previously written off in the statements of income, which represents its share of the excess recovery. The current General Partner continues to pursue recoveries of the misappropriated funds, however, no further significant recoveries are anticipated.
3. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES and PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE:
The total cost of the investment properties and specialty leasehold improvements includes the original purchase price plus acquisition fees and other capitalized costs paid to an affiliate of the former general partners.
As of September 30, 2007, the Partnership owned 17 fully constructed fast-food restaurants and a video store. The 18 properties are composed of the following: ten (10) Wendys restaurants (the 1515 Savannah Hwy., Charleston, SC property was reclassified to property held for sale in March of 2007), one (1) Dennys restaurant, one (1) Applebees restaurant, one (1) Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken restaurant, one (1) Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, one (1) Chinese Super Buffet restaurant, one (1) Panda Buffet restaurant, one (1) Daytonas All Sports Café, and one (1) Blockbuster Video store (reclassified to property held for sale in May of 2007). The 18 properties are located in a total of nine (9) states.
On January 1, 2002, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement requires current and historical results from operations for disposed properties and assets classified as held for sale that occur subsequent to January 1, 2002 to be reclassified separately as discontinued operations.
During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of approximately $30,000 and $72,000, respectively. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of approximately $1,016,000 and $200,000, respectively. The income from discontinued operations is attributable to the reclassification of the Wendys- 1515 Savannah Hwy., Charleston, SC property and the Blockbuster, Ogden, UT property to properties held for sale in the First Quarter of 2007 and the Second Quarter of 2007, respectively. Discontinued operations also includes income related to the Sunrise Preschool, Phoenix, AZ property, which was reclassified to property held for sale in the Second Quarter of 2006 and sold in April of 2007. The 2007 income from discontinued operations included a Second Quarter net gain on the sale of the Sunrise Preschool property of approximately $862,000.

Former Miami Subs- Palm Beach, FL Property
The Palm Beach, FL property was sold in June 2004. At the time of closing the former tenant, DiFede Finance Group (DiFede), was delinquent $17,000 in past rent (after the application of a $15,000 security deposit). The former tenant also owed the Partnership approximately $13,360 in property taxes as the Partnership paid the propertys delinquent 2003 property taxes in June 2004. Management continued to pursue legal remedies to collect the former tenants total past due balances. Due to the uncertainty of collection, fifty percent (50 %) of the total outstanding receivable balance was reserved in June 2004.
In November 2004, a Settlement Agreement (DiFede Agreement) was executed with DiFede. Per the DiFede Agreement the former tenant agreed to pay the Partnership by December 31, 2004 approximately $36,000 in past due rent, late charges, related attorney and court fees and other miscellaneous items. However, the settlement payment per the DiFede Agreement was not received by the Partnership. Further legal action was taken by the Partnership and the Circuit Court in Broward County, Florida entered a final judgment (the Judgment) against DiFede in early January 2005, awarding approximately $42,000 in damages to the Partnership. Due to the uncertainty of collection, the remaining fifty percent (50 %) of the total outstanding receivable balance was written-off. The receivable balance and applicable allowance were removed from the balance sheet at December 31, 2004. Throughout 2005 Management continued their pursuit of legal action to collect the Judgment. In satisfaction of the Judgment (which was recorded in the Circuit Court in March of 2006), the Partnership received $25,000 from Difede in the First Quarter of 2006.
Other Investment in Properties Information
According to the Partnership Agreement, the former general partners were to commit 80% of the original offering proceeds to investment in properties. Upon the close of the offering, approximately 75% of the original proceeds were invested in the Partnerships properties.
13
At September 30, 2007 the owners of the Panda Buffet property in Grand Forks, ND have an option to purchase the property at a price, which (i) exceeds the original cost of the property less accumulated depreciation and (ii) is not less than the fair market value of the property at the time the option was granted. The General Partner is not aware of any unfavorable purchase options in relation to the original cost or fair market value of the property at the time the option was granted, contained in any of the Partnerships existing leases.
4. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT:
The Partnership Agreement, prior to an amendment effective May 26, 1993, provided that, for financial reporting and income tax purposes, net profits or losses from operations were allocated 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the general partners. The Partnership Agreement also provided for quarterly cash distributions from Net Cash Receipts, as defined, within 60 days after the last day of the first full calendar quarter following the date of release of the subscription funds from escrow, and each calendar quarter thereafter, in which such funds were available for distribution with respect to such quarter. Such distributions were to be made 90% to Limited Partners and 10% to the former general partners, provided, however, that quarterly distributions were to be cumulative and were not to be made to the former general partners unless and until each Limited Partner had received a distribution from Net Cash Receipts in an amount equal to 10% per annum, cumulative simple return on his or her Adjusted Original Capital, as defined, from the Return Calculation Date, as defined.
Net Proceeds, as originally defined, were to be distributed as follows: (a) to the Limited Partners, an amount equal to 100% of their Adjusted Original Capital; (b) then, to the Limited Partners, an amount necessary to provide each Limited Partner a Liquidation Preference equal to a 13.5% per annum, cumulative simple return on Adjusted Original Capital from the Return Calculation date including in the calculation of such return all prior distributions of Net Cash Receipts and any prior distributions of Net Proceeds under this clause; and (c) then, to Limited Partners, 90% and to the General Partners, 10%, of the remaining Net Proceeds available for distribution.
On May 26, 1993, pursuant to the results of a solicitation of written consents from the Limited Partners, the Partnership Agreement was amended to replace the former general partners and amend various sections of the agreement. The former general partners were replaced as General Partner by The Provo Group, Inc., an Illinois corporation. Under the terms of the amendment, net profits or losses from operations are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the current General Partner. The amendment also provided for distributions from Net Cash Receipts to be made 99% to Limited Partners and 1% to the current General Partner, provided that quarterly distributions are cumulative and are not to be made to the current General Partner unless and until each Limited Partner has received a distribution from Net Cash Receipts in an amount equal to 10% per annum, cumulative simple return on his or her Adjusted Original Capital, as defined, from the Return Calculation Date, as defined, except to the extent needed by the General Partner to pay its federal and state income taxes on the income allocated to it attributable to such year. Distributions paid to the General Partner are based on the estimated tax liability resulting from allocated income. Subsequent to the filing of the General Partners income tax returns, a true up with actual distributions is made.
The provisions regarding distribution of Net Proceeds, as defined, were also amended to provide that Net Proceeds are to be distributed as follows: (a) to the Limited Partners, an amount equal to 100% of their Adjusted Original Capital; (b) then, to the Limited Partners, an amount necessary to provide each Limited Partner a Liquidation Preference equal to a 13.5% per annum, cumulative simple return on Adjusted Original Capital from the Return Calculation Date including in the calculation of such return on all prior distributions of Net Cash Receipts and any prior distributions of Net Proceeds under this clause, except to the extent needed
14
by the General Partner to pay its federal and state income tax on the income allocated to it attributable to such year; and (c) then, to Limited Partners, 99%, and to the General Partner, 1%, of remaining Net Proceeds available for distribution.
Additionally, per the amendment of the Partnership Agreement dated May 26, 1993, the total compensation paid to all persons for the sale of the investment properties is limited to a competitive real estate commission, not to exceed 6% of the contract price for the sale of the property. The General Partner may receive up to one-half of the competitive real estate commission, not to exceed 3%, provided that the General Partner provides a substantial amount of services in the sales effort. It is further provided that a portion of the amount of such fees payable to the General Partner is subordinated to its success in recovering the funds misappropriated by the former general partners. (See Note 7)
Effective June 1, 1993, the Partnership Agreement was amended to (i) change the definition of Distribution Quarter to be consistent with calendar quarters, and (ii) change the distribution provisions to subordinate the General Partners share of distributions from Net Cash Receipts and Net Proceeds, except to the extent necessary for the General Partner to pay its federal and state income taxes on Partnership income allocated to the General Partner. Because these amendments do not adversely affect the rights of the Limited Partners, pursuant to section 10.2 of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner made the amendments without a vote of the Limited Partners.
5. LEASES:
Original lease terms for the majority of the investment properties are generally 5 - 20 years from their inception. The leases generally provide for minimum rents and additional rents based upon percentages of gross sales in excess of specified sales breakpoints. The lessee is responsible for occupancy costs such as maintenance, insurance, real estate taxes, and utilities. Accordingly, these amounts are not reflected in the statements of income except in circumstances where, in managements opinion, the Partnership will be required to pay such costs to preserve its assets (i.e., payment of past-due real estate taxes). Management has determined that the leases are properly classified as operating leases; therefore, rental income is reported when earned on a straight-line basis and the cost of the property, excluding the cost of the land, is depreciated over its estimated useful life.
As of September 30, 2007, the aggregate minimum operating lease payments to be received under the current operating leases for the Partnerships properties are as follows (does not include the Wendys- 1515 Savannah Hwy., Charleston, SC and the Blockbuster, Ogden, UT properties which were reclassified to properties held for sale in the First and Second Quarters of 2007, respectively). The operating payments below include the November 1, 2007 lease extension of the Dennys, Phoenix, AZ property (For further disclosure see Investment Properties in Note 3 to the condensed financial statements and Part I- Item 2.)

Operating percentage rentals included in operating rental income for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were approximately $189,000 and $174,000, respectively. At September 30, 2007, rents and other receivables included approximately $174,000 of unbilled 2007 percentage rents.
Operating percentage rentals included in rental income from operations in 2006 (does not include income from properties held for sale or sold during 2006 and 2007) was approximately $423,000. At December 31, 2006, rents and other receivables included $18,000 of billed and $399,000 of unbilled 2006 percentage rents. As of September 30, 2007 these 2006 percentage rents had been fully collected.
As of July 2, 2007, six (6) of the properties are leased to Wendgusta, LLC (Wendgusta), a franchisee of Wendys restaurants. In addition, three (3) of the properties (does not include the 1515 Savannah Hwy., Charleston, SC property, which was reclassified to property held for sale in March of 2007) are leased to Wencoast Restaurants, Inc. (Wencoast), a franchisee of Wendys restaurants. Wendgusta and Wencoast operating base rents accounted for 42% and 18%, respectively, of the total 2006 operating base rents. In each case, the percentage calculation does not include income from properties held for sale or sold during 2006 and 2007.
6. TRANSACTIONS WITH CURRENT GENERAL PARTNER AND ITS AFFILIATES:
Pursuant to the terms of the Permanent Manager Agreement (PMA), the General Partner receives a Base Fee for managing the Partnership equal to 4% of gross receipts, subject to a $159,000 minimum. The PMA also provides that the Partnership is responsible for reimbursement for office rent and related office overhead (Expenses) up to a maximum of $13,250. Both the Base fee and Expense reimbursement are subject to annual Consumer Price Index based adjustments. Effective March 1, 2007, the minimum annual Base Fee and the maximum Expense reimbursement increased by 3.23%, which represents the allowable annual Consumer Price Index adjustment per the PMA. Therefore, as of March 1, 2007, the minimum monthly Base Fee paid by the Partnership was raised to $18,945 and the maximum monthly Expense reimbursement was raised to $1,528.
For purposes of computing the 4% overall fee, gross receipts includes amounts recovered in connection with the misappropriation of assets by the former general partners and their affiliates. To-date, TPG has received fees from the Partnership totaling $57,774 on the amounts recovered, which includes fees received for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 of $373 and $373 respectively. The fees received from the Partnership on the amounts recovered reduce the 4% minimum fee by that same amount.
Amounts paid and/or accrued to the current General Partner and its affiliates for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

7. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:
According to the Partnership Agreement, as amended, the current General Partner may receive a disposition fee not to exceed 3% of the contract price of the sale of investment properties. Fifty percent (50%) of all such disposition fees earned by the current General Partner is to be escrowed until the aggregate amount of recovery of the funds misappropriated from the Partnerships by the former general partners is greater than $4,500,000. Upon reaching such recovery level, full disposition fees will thereafter be payable and fifty percent (50%) of the previously escrowed amounts will be paid to the current General Partner. At such time as the recovery exceeds $6,000,000 in the aggregate, the remaining escrowed disposition fees shall be paid to the current General Partner. If such levels of recovery are not achieved, the current General Partner will contribute the amounts escrowed towards the recovery. In lieu of an escrow, 50% of all such disposition fees have been paid directly to a restoration account and then distributed among the three original Partnerships. Fifty percent (50%) of the total amount paid to the restoration account was refunded to the current General Partner during March 1996 after exceeding the recovery level of $4,500,000. The General Partner does not expect any future refunds, as the possibility of achieving the $6,000,000 recovery threshold appears remote.
8. PMA INDEMNIFICATION TRUST:
The PMA provides that the Permanent Manager will be indemnified from any claims or expenses arising out of or relating to the Permanent Manager serving in such capacity or as substitute general partner, so long as such claims do not arise from fraudulent or criminal misconduct by the Permanent Manager. The PMA provides that the Partnership fund this indemnification obligation by establishing a reserve of up to $250,000 of Partnership assets which would not be subject to the claims of the Partnerships creditors. An Indemnification Trust (Trust) serving such purposes has been established at United Missouri Bank, N.A. The corpus of the Trust has been fully funded with Partnership assets since 1994. Funds are invested in U.S. Treasury securities. In addition, $184,346 of earnings has been credited to the Trust as of September 30, 2007. The rights of the Permanent Manager to the Trust shall be terminated upon the earliest to occur of the following events: (i) the written release by the Permanent Manager of any and all interest in the Trust; (ii) the expiration of the longest statute of limitations relating to a potential claim which might be brought against the Permanent Manager and which is subject to indemnification; or (iii) a determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Permanent Manager shall have no liability to any person with respect to a claim which is subject to indemnification under the PMA. At such time as the indemnity provisions expire or the full indemnity is paid, any funds remaining in the Trust will revert back to the general funds of the Partnership.
9. FORMER GENERAL PARTNERS CAPITAL ACCOUNTS:
The capital account balance of the former general partners as of May 26, 1993, the date of their removal as general partners, was a deficit of $840,229. At December 31, 1993, the former general partners deficit capital account balance in the amount of $840,229 was reallocated to the Limited Partners.

10. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:
Former South Milwaukee, WI property
The Partnership sold real property and improvements located at 106 N. Chicago Avenue, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin to F2BL, LLC (the Buyer) on April 17, 2003 pursuant to a Real Estate Purchase Agreement dated October 10, 2002 (the Contract). In October of 2003, the Buyer notified the Partnership that an underground storage tank (UST) and petroleum release had been discovered on this Property. Since that time, the Buyer removed the UST and remediated the petroleum release. A substantial amount of the costs incurred in such efforts were paid by the Wisconsin Petroleum Environmental Clean Up Fund (the PECUF). In sporadic correspondence beginning in the Fourth Quarter of 2003, the Buyer claimed, and the Partnership denied, that the Partnership was responsible for payment of those costs not reimbursed by the PECUF.
On January 23, 2006, the Buyer initiated a lawsuit against the Partnership by filing a Complaint with the Milwaukee County Circuit Court. The Complaint alleged, among other things that (i) the Partnership breached its representation in the Contract that, to the best of the Partnerships knowledge, the Partnership was in compliance with all environmental laws, and (ii) the Partnership failed to deliver to Buyer a Phase I Environmental Assessment of the Property which had been performed in 1998. The Buyer sought a judgment awarding it damages to be proven at trial, plus its attorneys fees. Prior to filing suit, the Buyer alleged approximately $100,000 of actual unreimbursed damages incurred in the removal of the UST and remediation of the petroleum release and alleged consequential damages of $190,000. The Court set certain deadlines which included the completion of discovery and the filing of dispositive motions by February 20, 2007.
In September of 2006, Management and the Buyer entered into a Mutual Release of All Claims Agreement (F2BL Agreement). It is understood and agreed that the F2BL Agreement is a compromise of a doubtful and disputed claim, and that liability is expressly denied by the parties released. Pursuant to this F2BL Agreement the Partnership paid the Buyer $25,000 in settlement costs. Management believes that it had meritorious defenses to all of the Buyers claims and did not believe that a material recovery by the Buyer was probable. However, the Partnership determined that the time and cost to vigorously defend such litigation would exceed the cost of the settlement achieved.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On November 15, 2007, the Partnership is scheduled to make distributions to the Limited Partners of $290,000 amounting to approximately $6.27 per Unit Interest

Since more than 20% of the Partnerships properties, both by asset value and number, are leased to a single tenant, the financial status of the tenant may be considered relevant to investors. However, since Wendgusta was formed during 2007, no audited financial statements are available as of September 30, 2007.
Four (4) of the eighteen (18) properties owned as of September 30, 2007 were leased to Wencoast Restaurants, Inc. (Wencoast). Since more than 20% of the Partnerships properties, both by asset value and number, are leased to a single tenant, the financial status of the tenant may be considered relevant to investors. At the request of the Partnership, Wencoast provided it with copies of Wencoasts most recent available audited financial statements for the periods ended January 2, 2005 and January 1, 2006. Those audited financial statements are attached to the December 31, 2006 Annual Report 10-K as Exhibit 99.1. These financial statements were prepared by Wencoasts auditors. The Partnership has no rights to audit Wencoast and no right to dictate the form of the audited financials provided by Wencoast. The Partnerships auditors have not audited the financial statements received from Wencoast. The Partnership has no reason to believe the Wencoast financial statements do not accurately reflect the financial position of Wencoast.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, current and historical results from operations for disposed properties and assets classified as held for sale that occur subsequent to January 1, 2002 are reclassified separately as discontinued operations.
During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of approximately $30,000 and $72,000, respectively. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of approximately $1,016,000 and $200,000, respectively. The income from discontinued operations is attributable to the reclassification of the Wendys- 1515 Savannah Hwy., Charleston, SC property and the Blockbuster, Ogden, UT property to properties held for sale in the First Quarter of 2007 and the Second Quarter of 2007, respectively. Discontinued operations also includes income related to the Sunrise Preschool, Phoenix, AZ property, which was reclassified to property held for sale in the Second Quarter of 2006 and sold in April of 2007. The 2007 income from discontinued operations included a Second Quarter net gain on the sale of the Sunrise Preschool property of approximately $862,000.

The former tenant also owed the Partnership approximately $13,360 in property taxes as the Partnership paid the propertys delinquent 2003 property taxes in June 2004. Management continued to pursue legal remedies to collect the former tenants total past due balances. Due to the uncertainty of collection, fifty percent (50 %) of the total outstanding receivable balance was reserved in June 2004.
In November 2004, a Settlement Agreement (DiFede Agreement) was executed with DiFede. Per the DiFede Agreement the former tenant agreed to pay the Partnership by December 31, 2004 approximately $36,000 in past due rent, late charges, related attorney and court fees and other miscellaneous items. However, the settlement payment per the DiFede Agreement was not received by the Partnership. Further legal action was taken by the Partnership and the Circuit Court in Broward County, Florida entered a final judgment (the Judgment) against DiFede in early January 2005, awarding approximately $42,000 in damages to the Partnership. Due to the uncertainty of collection, the remaining fifty percent (50 %) of the total outstanding receivable balance was written-off. The receivable balance and applicable allowance were removed from the balance sheet at December 31, 2004. Throughout 2005 Management continued their pursuit of legal action to collect the Judgment. In satisfaction of the Judgment (which was recorded in the Circuit Court in March of 2006), the Partnership received $25,000 from Difede in the First Quarter of 2006.

(For further disclosure see Investment Properties- Daytonas All Sports Café and Popeyes- Park Forest in Note 3 to the condensed financial statements and Part I- Item 2.)

Results of Operations
The Partnership reported income from continuing operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, in the amount of $325,000 compared to income from continuing operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 of $272,000. The Partnership reported income from continuing operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, in the amount of $623,000 compared to income from continuing operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 of $562,000. The variance in income from continuing operations in 2007 compared to 2006 is due primarily to: (i) higher percentage rental income accruals during the Third Quarter of 2007; (ii) higher interest earnings during the Second and Third Quarter of 2007 due to higher interest yields and increased average cash balances due to the sale of the Sunrise Preschool property; (iii) lower investor communication expenditures in the First through Third Quarters of 2007; (iv) income taxes paid with the North Dakota and Ohio
25
2006 tax returns during the First Quarter of 2007 and quarterly estimated payments made during 2007; (v) higher legal expenditures during 2007 due to the Popeyes default litigation and settlement; (vii) an unexpected insurance premium adjustment payment in the Second Quarter of 2006 of approximately $12,000 related to the 04/05 policy year; and (viii) the March of 2006 receipt of $25,000 from DiFede in satisfaction of the Judgment recorded in the Broward County, Florida Circuit Court in January of 2005.
Discontinued Operations
During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of approximately $30,000 and $72,000, respectively. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of approximately $1,016,000 and $200,000, respectively. The income from discontinued operations are attributable to the reclassification of the Wendys- 1515 Savannah Hwy., Charleston, SC property and the Blockbuster, Ogden, UT property to properties held for sale in the First Quarter of 2007 and the Second Quarter of 2007, respectively. Discontinued operations also includes income related to the Sunrise Preschool property which was located in Phoenix, AZ property, and was reclassified to property held for sale in the Second Quarter of 2006 and sold in April of 2007. The 2007 income from discontinued operations included the Second Quarter net gain on the sale of the Sunrise Preschool property of approximately $862,000. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), discontinued operations represent the operations of properties disposed of or classified as held for sale subsequent to January 1, 2002 as well as any gain or loss recognized in their disposition.
Revenues
Total operating revenues amounted to $487,000 and $464,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, total operating revenues amounted to $1,133,000 and $1,116,000, respectively. The variance in operating revenues in 2007 compared to 2006 is due primarily to higher percentage rental income accruals during the Third Quarter of 2007.
As of September 30, 2007, total base operating rent revenues should approximate $1,280,000 for the year 2007 based on leases currently in place (does not include properties sold or held for sale during 2007). Future operating rent revenues may decrease with tenant defaults and/or the reclassification of Properties as held for sale. They may also increase with additional rents due from tenants, if those tenants experience sales levels, which require the payment of additional rent to the Partnership.
Expenses
For the three-month periods ended September 30 2007 and 2006, total operating expenses amounted to approximately 39% and 44%, of total revenue, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended September 30 2007 and 2006, total operating expenses amounted to approximately 52% and 55%, of total revenue, respectively. The variance in total operating expenses in 2007 compared to 2006 is due primarily to: (i) lower investor communication expenditures in the First through Third Quarters of 2007; (ii) income taxes paid with the North Dakota and Ohio 2006 tax returns during the First Quarter of 2007 and quarterly estimated payments made during 2007; (iii) higher legal expenditures during 2007 due to the Popeyes default litigation and settlement; and (iv) an unexpected insurance premium adjustment payment in the Second Quarter of 2006 of approximately $12,000 related to the 04/05 policy year.
26
Depreciation and amortization are non-cash items and do not affect current operating cash flow of the Partnership or distributions to the Limited Partners.
For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, there were no write-offs for non-collectible rents and receivables. Such write-offs would primarily be the result of tenant defaults.
Other Income
For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership generated other income of approximately $25,000 and $12,000, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership generated other income of approximately $76,000 and $59,000, respectively. During the First, Second and Third Quarters of 2007, the Partnership received approximately $10,000, $600 and $1,600, respectively, in investor service fees related to the voiding and reissuance of old outstanding limited partner distribution checks. During March of 2006, the Partnership received $25,000 from DiFede in satisfaction of the Judgment recorded in the Broward County, Florida Circuit Court in January of 2005. (See Investment Properties- Former Miami Subs- Palm Beach, FL Property in Note 3 to Financial Statements and Part I- Item 2.)
Other revenues came primarily from interest earnings (higher interest yields were recognized in the Second and Third Quarters of 2007) and small recoveries from former General Partners. Management anticipates that such revenue types may continue to be generated until Partnership dissolution.
Inflation
Inflation has a minimal effect on operating earnings and related cash flows from a portfolio of triple net leases. By their nature, such leases actually fix revenues and are not impacted by rising costs of maintenance, insurance, or real estate taxes. Although the majority of the Partnerships leases have percentage rental clauses, revenues from operating percentage rentals represented only 23% of operating rental income for the year ended 2006 (does not include operating income from properties held for sale or sold during 2007). If inflation causes operating margins to deteriorate for lessees, or if expenses grow faster than revenues, then, inflation may well negatively impact the portfolio through tenant defaults.
It would be misleading to associate inflation with asset appreciation for real estate, in general, and the Partnerships portfolio, specifically. Due to the triple-net nature of the property leases, asset values generally move inversely with interest rates.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Partnership believes that its most significant accounting policies deal with:
Depreciation methods and lives- Depreciation of the properties is provided on a straight-line basis over 31.5 years, which is the estimated useful life of the buildings and improvements. While the Partnership believes these are the appropriate lives and methods, use of different lives and methods could result in different impacts on net income. Additionally, the value of real estate is typically based on market conditions and property performance, so depreciated book value of real estate may not reflect the market value of real estate assets.
Revenue recognition- Rental revenue from investment properties is recognized on the straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease. Percentage rents are accrued only when the tenant has reached the sales breakpoint stipulated in the lease.
27
Impairment- The Partnership periodically reviews its long-lived assets, primarily real estate, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Partnerships review involves comparing current and future operating performance of the assets, the most significant of which is undiscounted operating cash flows, to the carrying value of the assets. Based on this analysis, a provision for possible loss is recognized, if any.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
The Partnership is not subject to market risk. See Part II, Item 1A for the discussion of Risk Factors.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)/Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the CEO/CFO has concluded that the Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports it files under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
There have been no significant changes in the Partnerships internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation period covered by this report referred to above.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Former South Milwaukee, WI property
The Partnership sold real property and improvements located at 106 N. Chicago Avenue, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin to F2BL, LLC (the Buyer) on April 17, 2003 pursuant to a Real Estate Purchase Agreement dated October 10, 2002 (the Contract). In October of 2003, the Buyer notified the Partnership that an underground storage tank (UST) and petroleum release had been discovered on this Property. Since that time, the Buyer removed the UST and remediated the petroleum release. A substantial amount of the costs incurred in such efforts were paid by the Wisconsin Petroleum Environmental Clean Up Fund (the PECUF). In sporadic correspondence beginning in the Fourth Quarter of 2003, the Buyer claimed, and the Partnership denied, that the Partnership was responsible for payment of those costs not reimbursed by the PECUF.
On January 23, 2006, the Buyer initiated a lawsuit against the Partnership by filing a Complaint with the Milwaukee County Circuit Court. The Complaint alleged, among other things that (i) the Partnership breached its representation in the Contract that, to the best of the Partnerships knowledge, the Partnership was in compliance with all environmental laws, and (ii) the Partnership failed to deliver to Buyer a Phase I Environmental Assessment of the Property which had been performed in 1998. The Buyer sought a judgment awarding it damages to be proven at trial, plus its attorneys fees. Prior to filing suit, the Buyer alleged approximately $100,000 of actual unreimbursed damages incurred in the removal of the UST and remediation of the petroleum release and alleged consequential damages of $190,000. The Court set certain deadlines which included the completion of discovery and the filing of dispositive motions by February 20, 2007.
In September of 2006, Management and the Buyer entered into a Mutual Release of All Claims Agreement (F2BL Agreement). It is understood and agreed that the F2BL Agreement is a compromise of a doubtful and disputed claim, and that liability is expressly denied by the parties released. Pursuant to this F2BL Agreement the Partnership paid the Buyer $25,000 in settlement costs. Management believes that it had meritorious defenses to all of the Buyers claims and did not believe that a material recovery by the Buyer was probable. However, the Partnership determined that the time and cost to vigorously defend such litigation would exceed the cost of the settlement achieved.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
General Risks Associated With Real Estate Ownership
The Partnership is subject to all of the general risks associated with the ownership of real estate. In particular, the Partnership faces the risk that rental revenue from its Properties may be insufficient to cover all operating expenses. Additional real estate ownership risks include:
| Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions; |
| Changes in supply of, or demand for, similar or competing properties; |
| Changes in interest rates and operating expenses; |
| Competition for tenants; |
| Changes in market rental rates; |
| Inability to lease properties upon termination of existing leases; |
| Renewal of leases at lower rental rates; |
29
| Inability to collect rents from tenants due to financial hardship, including bankruptcy; |
| Changes in tax, real estate, zoning and environmental laws that may have an adverse impact upon the value of real estate; |
| Uninsured property liability; |
| Property damage or casualty losses; |
| Unexpected expenditures for capital improvements or to bring properties into compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws; |
| Acts of terrorism and war; and |
| Acts of God and other factors beyond the control of our management. |
Risks Related to Tenants
The Partnerships return on its investment will be derived principally from rental payments received from its tenants. Therefore, the Partnerships return on its investment is largely dependent upon the business success of its tenants. The business success of the Partnerships individual tenants can be adversely affected on three general levels. First, the tenants rely heavily on the management contributions of a few key entrepreneurial owners. The business operations of such entrepreneurial tenants can be adversely affected by death, disability or divorce of a key owner, or by such owners poor business decisions such as an undercapitalized business expansion. Second, changes in a local market area can adversely affect a tenants business operation. A local economy can suffer a downturn with high unemployment. Socioeconomic neighborhood changes can affect retail demand at specific sites and traffic patterns may change, or stronger competitors may enter a market. These and other local market factors can potentially adversely affect the tenants of Partnership properties. Finally, despite an individual tenants solid business plans in a strong local market, the chain concept itself can suffer reversals or changes in management policy, which in turn can affect the profitability of operations for Partnership properties. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any specific tenant will have the ability to pay its rent over the entire term of its lease with the Partnership.
Since 100% of the Partnerships investment in properties as of September 30, 2007 (does not include properties held for sale) involves restaurant tenants, the restaurant market is the major market segment with a material impact on Partnership operations. It would appear that the management skill and potential operating efficiencies realized by Partnership lessees will be a major ingredient for their future operating success in a very competitive restaurant and food service marketplace.
There is no way to determine, with any certainty, which, if any, tenants will succeed or fail in their business operations over the term of their respective leases with the Partnership. It can be reasonably anticipated that some lessees will default on future lease payments to the Partnership, which will result in the loss of expected lease income for the Partnership. Management will use its best efforts to vigorously pursue collection of any defaulted amounts and to protect the Partnerships assets and future rental income potential by trying to re-negotiate leases or re-lease any properties with rental defaults. External events, which could impact the Partnerships liquidity, are the entrance of other competitors into the market areas of our tenants; liquidity and working capital needs of the lessees; and failure or withdrawal of any of the national franchises held by the Partnerships tenants. Each of these events, alone or in combination, would affect the liquidity level of the lessees resulting in possible default by a tenant. Since the information regarding plans for future liquidity and expansion of closely held organizations, which are tenants of the Partnership, tend to be of a private and proprietary nature, anticipation of individual liquidity problems is difficult, and prediction of future events is nearly impossible.
30
Illiquidity of Real Estate Investments
Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, the Partnership is limited in its ability to quickly sell one or more Properties in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions. The real estate market is affected by many forces, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand, that are beyond the Partnerships control. There is no way to predict whether the Partnership will be able to sell any property for a price or on terms that would be acceptable to the Partnership. It is also impossible to predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a Property.
The Partnership May Be Subject to Unknown Environmental Liabilities
Investments in real property can create a potential for environmental liability. An owner of property can face liability for environmental contamination created by the presence or discharge of hazardous substances on the property. The Partnership can face such liability regardless of the knowledge of the contamination; the timing or cause of the contamination; or the party responsible for the contamination of the property.
The presence of hazardous substances on a property may adversely affect the Partnerships ability to sell that property and it may incur substantial remediation costs. Although the Partnership leases generally require tenants to operate in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, and to indemnify the Partnership against any environmental liabilities arising from the tenants activities on the property, the Partnership could nevertheless be subject to strict liability by virtue of its ownership interest. There also can be no assurance that tenants could or would satisfy their indemnification obligations under their leases. The discovery of environmental liabilities attached to the Partnerships Properties could have an adverse effect on the Partnerships results of operations, financial condition or ability to make distributions to limited partners.
