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) 2008 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 March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the statements of income and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
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 primarily to, and operated by, franchisors or franchisees of national, regional, and local retail chains under long-term leases. The lessees are primarily fast food, family style, and casual/theme restaurants. As of March 31, 2009, the Partnership owned sixteen (16) properties.
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. The Partnership intends to solicit Limited Partners during 2009 to determine whether the Limited Partners wish to extend the term of the Partnership for ten (10) years to November 30, 2020, or wish the Partnership to sell its assets, liquidate, and dissolve by November 30, 2010.

Significant Accounting Policies
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.
Rents and other receivables 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 March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 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.
Depreciation of the properties and improvements are provided on a straight-line basis over 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. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, accumulated amortization amounted to $52,004 and $46,250, respectively.
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 (such as the Park Forest, IL property formerly operated as a Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken restaurant), the Partnership makes the appropriate payments 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.
The Partnership generally maintains cash and cash equivalents in federally insured accounts in a bank that is participating in the FDICs Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Under that program, through December 31, 2009, all non-interest bearing transaction accounts are fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the account.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Partnership to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments and leases. The Partnership generally maintains cash and cash equivalents in federally insured accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk. Additionally, as of March 31, 2009, eight (8) of the Partnerships sixteen (16) properties are leased to two (2) significant tenants who have comprised 45% and 18%, respectively, of the total 2009 operating base rents.
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.
7
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 No. 144). As such, prior year operating results for those properties considered as held for sale or properties no longer considered for sale have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation without effecting total income. When properties are considered held for sale depreciation of the properties is ceased, and the properties are valued at the lower of the depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to dispose. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely, and, as a result, the property previously classified as held for sale is no longer to be sold, the property is reclassified as held and used. Such property is measured at the lower of its carrying amount (adjusted for any deprecation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used) or fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.
Assets are classified as held for sale, generally, when all criteria with SFAS No. 144 have been met.
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.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (SFAS No. 107), Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires entities to disclose the fair value of all financial assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate. Fair value is defined in SFAS No. 107 as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The general partner, TPG, of the Partnership believes that the carrying value of its assets (exclusive of the Investment Property) and liabilities approximate fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March of 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (FAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 requires additional disclosures about the objectives of using derivative instruments, the method by which the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations, and the effect of derivative instruments and related hedged items on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 also requires disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 161 as required, effective January 1, 2009. As this pronouncement is only disclosure-related, it did not have an impact on the financial position and results of operations.
8
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations (FAS No. 141(R)). This Statement provides greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting for business combinations. FAS No. 141(R) establishes new disclosure requirements and, among other things, requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to record contingent consideration payable, to expense transaction costs, and to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at acquisition-date fair value. This standard is effective for the beginning of the Partnerships first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Partnership adopted FAS No. 141(R) as required, effective January 1, 2009. FAS No. 141(R) will have a significant impact on the accounting for any future business combinations after the effective date and will impact the financial statements both on the acquisition date and subsequent periods.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (FAS No. 160). FAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the minority or noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary or variable interest entity and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or variable interest entity. Minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. It also establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parents ownership interest in a subsidiary and requires expanded disclosures. FAS No. 160 is effective for the beginning of the Partnerships first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008, and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. The Partnership adopted FAS No. 160 as required, effective January 1, 2009. Since the Partnership owns 100% of the Properties, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
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 limited 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 system 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. 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 March 31, 2009, approximately $5,889,000 of recoveries have been received which exceeded the original estimate of $3 million. As a result, from January 1, 1996 through March 31, 2009, the Partnership has recognized a total of approximately $1,201,000 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 March 31, 2009, the Partnership owned sixteen (16) fully constructed fast-food restaurants, one of which, located in Park Forest, IL, is currently vacant and was formerly operated as a Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken restaurant (tenant ceased operations in June of 2008, and the lease was terminated and the property vacated in July of 2008). The 15 properties with operating tenants are composed of the following: nine (9) Wendys restaurants, one (1) Dennys restaurant, one (1) Applebees restaurant, one (1) Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, one (1) Chinese Super Buffet, one (1) Panda Buffet restaurant, and one (1) Daytonas All Sports Café. The sixteen (16) properties are located in a total of eight (8) states.
The Partnership has been unsuccessful in finding a new tenant for the vacant Park Forest, IL property. The Partnership agreed to sell the property for $50,000 to a prospective purchaser. Negotiations ended due to uncertainty over 2008 real estate tax obligations due in 2009. The Partnership has no other interested parties for this vacant property in a distressed location. Accordingly, in the Third Quarter of 2008, the carrying value of the vacant Park Forest, IL property was reduced by $276,186 to its estimated fair market value of $50,000. The reduction included $129,450 related to land and $137,736 related to buildings.
The Partnership did not recognize income from discontinued operations during the three month period ended March 31, 2009. During the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of approximately $68,000. The 2008 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. The Wendys property was sold in May of 2008 under the terms of the Sales Contract dated April 10, 2008 and the Blockbuster property was sold in December of 2008. The 2008 income from discontinued operations also includes the First Quarter of 2008 collection of $25,000 in earnest money in relation to the termination of the Wendys- Savannah Hwy., Charleston, SC property sales contract dated August 21, 2007.
There were no properties held for sale in the condensed balance sheets as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

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.
Certain leases provide the tenant with the option to acquire the property occupied by the tenant. 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
11
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 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 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.
12
As of March 31, 2009, the aggregate minimum operating lease payments to be received under the current operating leases for the Partnerships properties are as follows:
Year ending December 31, |

At December 31, 2008, rents and other receivables included $2,000 of billed and $417,000 of unbilled percentage rents. As of March 31, 2009, approximately $6,000 of these 2008 percentage rents had not been collected.
On September 4, 2008, three (3) of the properties were leased to Wendcharles I, LLC (Wendcharles), a franchisee of Wendys restaurants. On July 2, 2007, six (6) of the properties were leased to Wendgusta, LLC (Wendgusta), a franchisee of Wendys restaurants. Wendcharles and Wendgusta operating base rents have accounted for 18% and 45%, respectively, of the total 2009 operating base rents.
6. TRANSACTIONS WITH GENERAL PARTNER AND ITS AFFILIATES:
Pursuant to the terms of the Permanent Manager Agreement (PMA) executed in 1993, the General Partner receives a Base Fee for managing the Partnership equal to 4% of gross receipts, subject to an initial amount of $159,000 minimum. The PMA also provides that the Partnership is responsible for reimbursement for office rent and related office overhead (Expenses) up to an initial annual maximum of $13,250. Both the Base fee and Expense reimbursement are subject to annual Consumer Price Index based adjustments. Effective March 1, 2009, the minimum annual Base Fee and the maximum Expense reimbursement increased by 3.84% from the prior year, which represents the allowable annual Consumer Price Index adjustment per the PMA. Therefore, as of March 1, 2009, the minimum monthly Base Fee paid by the Partnership was raised to $20,233 and the maximum monthly Expense reimbursement was raised to $1,632.
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 $58,558 on the amounts recovered, which includes fees received for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 of $124 and $162 respectively. The fees received from the Partnership on the amounts recovered reduce the 4% minimum fee by that same amount.
13
Amounts paid and/or accrued to the General Partner and its affiliates for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:
Incurred for the Three Month Period ended March 31, 2009 |

7. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:
According to the Partnership Agreement, as amended, the 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 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 General Partner. At such time as the recovery exceeds $6,000,000 in the aggregate, the remaining escrowed disposition fees will be paid to the General Partner. If such levels of recovery are not achieved, the General Partner will contribute the amounts escrowed toward 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 recovery was refunded to the 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 as of March 31, 2009. Funds are invested in U.S. Treasury securities. In addition, $199,779 of earnings has been credited to the Trust as of March 31, 2009. 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
14
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.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On May 15, 2009, the Partnership is scheduled to make distributions to the Limited Partners of $230,000 amounting to approximately $4.97 per Unit Interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Investment Properties and Net Investment in Direct Financing Leases
The Properties held by the Partnership at March 31, 2009 were originally purchased at a price, including acquisition costs, of approximately $12,240,768.
The total cost of the investment properties includes the original purchase price plus acquisition fees and other capitalized costs paid to an affiliate of the former general partners.
As of March 31, 2009, the Partnership owned sixteen (16) fully constructed fast-food restaurants, one of which, located in Park Forest, IL, is currently vacant and was formerly operated as a Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken restaurant (tenant ceased operations in June of 2008, and the lease was terminated and the property vacated in July of 2008). The 15 properties with operating tenants are composed of the following: nine (9) Wendys restaurants, one (1) Dennys restaurant, one (1) Applebees restaurant, one (1) Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, one (1) Chinese Super Buffet), one (1) Panda Buffet restaurant, and one (1) Daytonas All Sports Café. The sixteen (16) properties are located in a total of eight (8) states.
Six (6) of the sixteen (16) properties owned as of March 31, 2009 were leased to Wendgusta, LLC (Wendgusta), a Wendys franchisee. 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, Wendgusta provided it with a copy of its reviewed financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 28, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Those reviewed financial statements are attached to the December 31, 2008 Annual Report 10-K as Exhibit 99.1. These financial statements were prepared by Wendgustas accountants. The Partnership has no rights to audit or review Wendgusta and the Partnerships auditors have not audited or reviewed the financial statements received from Wendgusta. The Partnership has no reason to believe the Wendgusta financial statements do not accurately reflect the financial position of Wendgusta.
Three (3) of the sixteen (16) properties owned as of March 31, 2009 were leased to Wendcharles I, LLC (Wendcharles). Since nearly 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. Wendcharles was formed during 2008, and at the request of the Partnership, Wendcharles provided it with a copy of its reviewed financial statements for the initial period June 24 to December 28, 2008. Those reviewed financial statements are attached to the December 31, 2008 Annual Report 10-K as Exhibit 99.2. These financial statements were prepared by Wendcharles accountants. The Partnership has no rights to audit or review Wendcharles and the Partnerships auditors have not audited or reviewed the financial statements received from Wendcharles. The Partnership has no reason to believe the Wendcharles financial statements do not accurately reflect the financial position of Wendcharles.
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. This statement also requires the adjustment to carrying value of properties due to impairment in an attempt to reflect appropriate market values.
16
The Partnership has been unsuccessful in finding a new tenant for the vacant Park Forest, IL property. The Partnership agreed to sell the property for $50,000 to a prospective purchaser. Negotiations ended due to uncertainty over 2008 real estate tax obligations due in 2009. The Partnership has no other interested parties for this vacant property in a distressed location. Accordingly, the carrying value of the vacant Park Forest, IL property was reduced by $276,186 to its fair market value of $50,000 during the Third Quarter of 2008. The reduction included $129,450 related to land and $137,736 related to buildings and improvements.
The Partnership did not recognize income from discontinued operations during the three month period ended March 31, 2009. During the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of approximately $68,000. The 2008 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. The Wendys property was sold in May of 2008 under the terms of the Sales Contract dated April 10, 2008 and the Blockbuster property was sold in December of 2008. The 2008 income from discontinued operations also includes the First Quarter of 2008 collection of $25,000 in earnest money in relation to the termination of the Wendys- Savannah Hwy., Charleston, SC property sales contract dated August 21, 2007.
The following summarizes significant developments, by property, for properties with such developments.
Daytonas All Sports Café- Des Moines, IA Property
In May of 2008, Management executed a one-year lease extension agreement with Daytonas All Sports Café (Daytonas). The lease extension began, and was effective, as of March 1, 2008. The lease, with an annual base rent of $72,000, expired on February 28, 2009. A commission of approximately $2,000 was paid to a General Partner affiliate in the Second Quarter of 2008 in relation to the lease extension. Daytonas is currently billed month-to-month rent of $6,000 until a further lease extension is executed or the tenant vacates the property. As of March 31, 2009, Daytonas was delinquent on one month-to-month rent (past due amount of $6,000 was collected in April of 2009).
Beginning in December of 2005, Management requested that Daytonas escrow its future property tax liabilities with the Partnership on a monthly basis. As of March 31, 2009, Daytonas was delinquent on one month-to-month property tax escrow obligation (past due amount of approximately $2,500 was collected in April of 2009). Escrow payments held by the Partnership totaled approximately $15,000.
Dennys- Phoenix, Arizona Property
The lease, with an annual base rent of $72,000, expired on April 30, 2009. The tenant is currently not cooperating with Management on a timely extension of the lease.
Vacant Park Forest, IL Property
In the Second Quarter of 2006, Management defaulted former tenant, a Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken restaurant (Popeyes), for failure to meet its lease obligations, and filed suit for possession of the Park Forest property in the Cook County Judicial Court. The Partnership continued the pursuit of all legal remedies available to recover possession and terminate the Lease. However, a Settlement Agreement (Settlement) was executed on May 1, 2007, and it was agreed to by all parties that Popeyes would pay its past due rent and property taxes escrow obligations. In accordance with the Settlement, the Partnership received a payment for the approximately $10,000 of past due property tax escrow on May 3, 2007 and the three equal installment payments of $4,233 related to the past due rent obligations on May 8, June 20, 2007, and July 17, 2007. The Settlement reaffirmed that Popeyes remained responsible for monthly rent obligations and property tax through the remainder of its Lease, which was set to expire on December 31, 2009.
17
Popeyes ceased its operations in June of 2008. The lease was terminated and the tenant vacated the property in July of 2008. As of June 30, 2008, the former defaulted tenant owed the Partnership approximately $19,000 and $14,000 in past due billings of monthly rent and property tax escrow, respectively. The Partnership received full payment of both of these items from Popeyes in August of 2008 in accordance with the terms of the lease termination and settlement agreement.
The Partnership has been unsuccessful in finding a new tenant for the vacant Park Forest, IL property. The Partnership agreed to sell the property for $50,000 to a prospective purchaser. Negotiations ended due to uncertainty over 2008 real estate tax obligations due in 2009. The Partnership has no other interested parties for this vacant property in a distressed location. Accordingly, the carrying value of the vacant Park Forest, IL property was reduced by $276,186 to its estimated fair market value of $50,000 at September 30, 2008. The reduction included $129,450 related to land and $137,736 related to buildings and improvements.
As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership had accrued twelve months of estimated 2008 property tax related to the Park Forest, IL property, which the Partnership will be obligated to pay to the Cook County taxing authority in 2009 (the first installment was paid in February of 2009 and the second installment is scheduled to be paid in the Third Quarter of 2009). Due to the lease termination and settlement, such property taxes will not be collectible from the former tenant. The former tenants property tax escrow balance held with the Partnership as of September 30, 2008 met all but $1,300 of the Park Forest propertys second 2007 property tax installment paid in November of 2008. The minimal shortage was accrued and expensed by the Partnership as of September 30, 2008. As of March 31, 2009, the Partnership has accrued three months of estimated 2009 property tax related to the Park Forest, IL property, which the Partnership will be obligated to pay to the Cook County taxing authority in 2010.
Wendys- 1004 Richland Avenue, Aiken, SC Property

Daytonas property tax cash escrow balance held with the Partnership as of December 31, 2008 was approximately $19,000 and payments of approximately $7,000 were received by the Partnership from Daytonas during the First Quarter of 2009. Daytonas 2007-2008 second property tax installment of approximately $11,000 was paid in the First Quarter of 2009. Daytonas 2008-2009 estimated first property tax installment of approximately $12,000 is scheduled to be paid during the Third Quarter of 2009. (For further disclosure see Investment Properties in Item 2.)

The Partnership established an Indemnification Trust (the Trust) during the Fourth Quarter of 1993, deposited $100,000 in the Trust during 1993 and completed funding of the Trust with $150,000 during 1994. The provision to establish the Trust was included in the Permanent Manager Agreement for the indemnification of TPG, in the absence of fraud or gross negligence, from any claims or liabilities that may arise from TPG acting as Permanent Manager. The Trust is owned by the Partnership. (For additional information regarding the Trust refer to Note 8 to the condensed financial statements- PMA Indemnification Trust.)
Rents and other receivables amounted to approximately $14,000 at March 31, 2009, compared to $424,000 at December 31, 2008. The March 31, 2009 balance included Daytonas one month-to-month rent delinquency (the March of 2009 billing payment was received in April of 2009) of approximately $6,000 and Dennys and Daytonas outstanding 2008 percentage rents billings balance of $2,000 and 4,000, respectively. At December 31, 2008, rents and other receivables primarily included approximately $419,000 in 2008 percentage rental income accrued in the Second, Third and Fourth Quarters of 2008 for tenants who had reached their sales breakpoint. These percentage rents included $2,000 which was billed to a tenant in the Fourth Quarter of 2008 and $417,000 which were not billed to the tenants until the First Quarter of 2009. As of March 31, 2009, only approximately $6,000 of these 2008 percentage rents had not been collected.
Property tax receivable at March 31, 2009 totaled approximately $2,000, compared to $2,000 at December 31, 2008. The March 31, 2009 and the December 31, 2008 balances represented one months of property tax escrow charges due from Daytonas- Sports Café.
Deferred charges totaled approximately $301,000, net of accumulated amortization, at March 31, 2009, compared to $306,000 at December 31, 2008. Deferred charges represent leasing commissions paid when properties are leased or upon the negotiated extension of a lease. Leasing commissions of approximately $10,000 and $2,000 were paid in 2008 in relation to the lease term extensions of the Blockbuster, Ogden, UT and Daytonas- All Sports, Des Moines, IA properties, respectively. Leasing commissions of approximately $34,000 were paid in September of 2008 in relation to the lease extensions of three (3) of the Wendys Properties that were assigned from Wencoast to Wendcharles. A leasing commission of approximately $14,000 was paid in December of 2008 in relation to the lease extension of one (1) of the Wendgusta Properties. Leasing commissions are capitalized and amortized over the life of the lease.
Liabilities
Accounts payable and other accrued expenses at March 31, 2009, amounted to approximately $39,000, compared to $62,000 at December 31, 2008. The balances primarily represented the accruals of auditing and, data processing fees, and income taxes payable.
Property tax payable at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 totaled approximately $60,000 and $77,000, respectively. The December 31, 2008 balance primarily represented the vacant Park Forest, IL propertys 2008 accrued property taxes and Daytonas property tax escrow charges related to the tenants property tax which were scheduled to be due in 2009. As of March 31, 2009, the Partnership has accrued three months of estimated 2009 property tax that will be due to the taxing authority during 2010 and has paid the first installment of the 2008 property tax related to the vacant Park Forest, IL property. The remainder of the March 21, 2009 balance includes Daytonas property tax escrow charges. The second installment of the tenants 2007-2008 property tax was paid during the First Quarter of 2009 and the first installment of the tenants 2008-2009 property tax is scheduled to be paid during the Third Quarter of 2009.
21
Due to the General Partner amounted to approximately $800 at March 31, 2009 and primarily represented the General Partners First Quarter of 2009 distribution.
Partners Capital
Net income for the year to-date was allocated between the General Partner and the Limited Partners, 1% and 99%, respectively, as provided for in the Partnership Agreement as discussed more fully in Note 4 of the condensed financial statements included in Item 1 of this report. The former general partners deficit capital account balance was reallocated to the Limited Partners at December 31, 1993. Refer to Note 9 to the condensed financial statements included in Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding the reallocation.
Cash distributions to the Limited Partners and to the General Partner during 2009 of $1,300,000 and $347, respectively, have also been made in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership intends to pay First Quarter of 2009 distributions of $230,000 on May 15, 2009.
Results of Operations
The Partnership reported income from continuing operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, of $87,000 and $124,000, respectively. The variance in income from continuing operations in 2009 compared to 2008 is due primarily to: (i) the vacancy of the Park Forest, IL property effective June 30, 2008; (ii) the reversal of the $12,000 2005/2006 insurance premium adjustment accrual in the First Quarter of 2008; (iii) the accrual of three months of estimated 2009 property tax related to the vacant Park Forest, IL property; (iv) the recognition of higher interest yields in the First Quarter of 2008; and (v) higher investor communication expenditures in the First Quarter of 2008; and (vi) higher 2008 income tax expenditures in the First Quarter of 2008.
Discontinued Operations
The Partnership did not recognize income from discontinued operations during the three month period ended March 31, 2009. During the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of approximately $68,000. The 2008 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. The Wendys property was sold in May of 2008 under the terms of the Sales Contract dated April 10, 2008 and the Blockbuster property was sold in December of 2008. The 2008 income from discontinued operations also includes the First Quarter of 2008 collection of $25,000 in earnest money in relation to the termination of the Wendys- Savannah Hwy., Charleston, SC property sales contract dated August 21, 2007. 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 $301,000 and $332,000, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The variance in total operating revenues in 2009 compared to 2008 is due primarily to: (i) the vacancy of the Park Forest, IL property effective June 30, 2008; and (ii) the reversal of the $12,000 2005/2006 insurance premium adjustment accrual in the First Quarter of 2008.
22
As of March 31, 2009, total base operating rent revenues should approximate $1,086,000 for the year 2009 based on leases currently in place. 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 March 31, 2009 and 2008, total operating expenses amounted to approximately 73% and 67%, respectively, of total revenues. The variance in total operating expenses in 2009 compared to 2008 is due primarily to: (i) ) the accrual of three months of estimated 2009 property tax related to the vacant Park Forest, IL property; (ii) higher investor communication expenditures in the First Quarter of 2008; and (iii) higher 2008 income tax expenditures in the First Quarter of 2008.
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 month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, 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 March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership generated other income of approximately $6,000 and $14,000, respectively.
Other revenues came primarily from interest earnings 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 26% of operating rental income for the year ended 2008 (does not include operating income from properties sold during 2008). 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 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.
23
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.
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 |
Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2009, the Partnerships Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that the Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were sufficiently effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and Form 10-Q.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Partnerships internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
None.
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; |
| 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 over 90% of the Partnerships investment in properties 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.
25
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.
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.
