DEL TACO RESTAURANT PROPERTIES II 
 NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004 NOTE 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements and
should therefore be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto contained in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2003 for Del Taco Restaurant Properties II (the Partnership or the
Company). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Partnerships financial
position at June 30, 2004, the results of operations for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and cash flows for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 have been included. Operating results for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. NOTE 2  NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT Net income per limited partnership unit is based upon the weighted average
number of units outstanding during the periods presented which amounted to
27,006 in the periods presented. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, annual partnership income or loss is
allocated one percent to Del Taco, Inc. (Del Taco or the General Partner) and
99 percent to the limited partners. Partnership gains from any sale or
refinancing will be allocated one percent to the General Partner and 99 percent
to the limited partners until allocated gains and profits equal losses,
distributions and syndication costs previously allocated. Additional gains
will be allocated 15 percent to the General Partner and 85 percent to the
limited partners. -6-

DEL TACO RESTAURANT PROPERTIES II NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  CONTINUED JUNE 30, 2004 NOTE 3  LEASING ACTIVITIES The Partnership leases certain properties for operation of restaurants to Del
Taco on a triple net basis. The leases are for terms of 35 years commencing
with the completion of the restaurant facility located on each property and
require monthly rentals equal to 12 percent of the gross sales of the
restaurants. The leases terminate in the years 2021 to 2022. There is no
minimum rental under any of the leases. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, the five restaurants operated by Del
Taco, for which the Partnership is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of
$1,401,324 and unaudited net income of $114,695 as compared to $1,267,135 and
$109,325, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2003. Net income by
restaurant includes charges for general and administrative expenses incurred in
connection with supervision of restaurant operations and interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the five restaurants operated by Del
Taco, for which the Partnership is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of
$2,708,645 and unaudited net income of $217,119 as compared to $2,425,161 and
$200,268, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2003. NOTE 4  TRANSACTIONS WITH DEL TACO The receivable from Del Taco, Inc. consists primarily of rent accrued for the
month of June. The June rent was collected in July 2004. Del Taco serves in the capacity of general partner in other partnerships which
are engaged in the business of operating restaurants and three other
partnerships which were formed for the purpose of acquiring real property in
California for construction of Mexican-American restaurants for lease under
long-term agreements to Del Taco for operation under the Del Taco trade name. In addition, see Note 5 with respect to certain distributions to the General
Partner. NOTE 5  DISTRIBUTIONS On July 21, 2004, a distribution to the limited partners of $151,434 or
approximately $5.61 per limited partnership unit was approved. Such
distribution was paid on July 28, 2004. The General Partner also received a
distribution of $1,530 with respect to its 1% partnership interest. Total cash
distributions paid in January and April 2004 were $145,328 and $ 125,637,
respectively. -7-

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources Del Taco Restaurant Properties II (the Partnership or the Company) offered
limited partnership units for sale between September 1984 and December 1985.
15% of the $6.751 million raised through sale of limited partnership units was
used to pay commissions to brokers and to reimburse Del Taco, Inc. (the General
Partner or Del Taco) for offering costs incurred. Approximately $5.6 million
of the remaining funds were used to acquire sites and build seven restaurants.
Two restaurants were sold in 1994. The five restaurants leased to Del Taco make up all of the income producing
assets of the Partnership. Therefore, the business of the Partnership is
entirely dependent on the success of the Del Taco trade name restaurants that
lease the properties. The success of the restaurants is dependent on a large
variety of factors, including, but not limited to, competition, consumer demand
and preference for fast food, in general, and for Mexican-American food in
particular. Results of Operations The Partnership owned seven properties that were under long-term lease to Del
Taco for restaurant operations. Two restaurants were sold in 1994 and five are
currently operating. The following table sets forth rental revenue earned by restaurant for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003: Three Months Ended

 The Partnership receives rental revenues equal to 12 percent of gross sales
from the restaurants. The Partnership earned rental revenue of $168,159 during
the three month period ended June 30, 2004, which represents an increase of
$16,103 from the corresponding period in 2003. The Partnership earned rental
revenue of $325,037 during the six month period ended June 30, 2004, which
represents an increase of $34,018 from the corresponding period in 2003. The
changes in rental revenues between 2004 and 2003 are directly attributable to
changes in sales levels at the restaurants under lease. -8-

 General and administrative costs for the three month period ended June 30, 2004
decreased from the corresponding period in the previous year due to costs
incurred in changing auditors in 2003. General and administrative costs for
the six month period ended June 30, 2004 decreased from the corresponding
period in the previous year due to costs incurred in changing auditors in 2003,
partially offset by increased costs for audit, accounting fees and printing
costs. For the three month period ended June 30, 2004, net income increased $19,509
from 2003 to 2004 due to the increase in revenues of $16,103, the increase in
interest and other income of $197 and the $3,209 decrease in general and
administrative expenses. For the six month period ended June 30, 2004, net
income increased by $34,964 from 2003 to 2004 due to an increase in revenues of
$34,018, the increase in interest and other income of $229 and the decrease in
general and administrative expenses of $717. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December
2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which addresses how a
business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial
interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and accordingly
should consolidate the entity. FIN 46R replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which was issued in January 2003.
The Company is required to apply FIN 46R to variable interests in VIEs created
after December 31, 2003. For variable interests in VIEs created before January
1, 2004, the Interpretation will be applied beginning on January 1, 2005. For
any VIEs that must be consolidated under FIN 46R that were created before
January 1, 2004, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests of the
VIE initially would be measured at their carrying amounts with any difference
between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized
interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. If
determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  continued Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations, as well as disclosures included elsewhere in this report on Form
10-Q are based upon the Partnerships financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Partnership
believes the critical accounting policies that most impact the financial
statements are described below. A summary of the significant accounting
policies of the Partnership can be found in Note 1 to the Financial Statements
which is included in the Partnerships December 31, 2003 Form 10-K. Property and Equipment: Property and equipment is stated at cost.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful
lives which are 20 years for land improvements, 35 years for buildings and
improvements, and 10 years for machinery and equipment. The Partnership accounts for property and equipment in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets. SFAS 144 requires that
long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be
recoverable. In evaluating long-lived assets held for use, an impairment loss
is recognized if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and
without interest charges) is less than the carrying value of the asset. Once a
determination has been made that an impairment loss should be recognized for
long-lived assets, various assumptions and estimates are used to determine fair
value including, among others, estimated costs of construction and development,
recent sales of comparable properties and the opinions of fair value prepared
by independent real estate appraisers. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. 
 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. None. -10-
