Item 7.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources, and off balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations contained within this report on Form 10-K is more clearly understood when read in conjunction with the notes to the financial statements. The notes to the financial statements elaborate on certain terms that are used throughout this discussion and provide information about the Partnership and the basis of presentation used in this report on Form 10-K.

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 Del Taco as the operator of the restaurants located at our properties. The success of the restaurants is dependent on a large variety of factors, including, but not limited to, consumer demand and preference for fast food, in general, and for Mexican-American food in particular.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

The Partnership’s only source of cash flow is rental income from the properties from the triple net leases. Such operating income has historically been and is expected to continue to be sufficient to fund the Partnership’s operating expenses. Net cash provided by operating activities in excess of the Partnership’s ongoing needs is distributed to the partners.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

None.

Results of Operations

The Partnership owned five properties that were under long-term lease to Del Taco for restaurant operations as of December 31, 2014.

Item 7.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

The following table sets forth rental revenues earned by restaurant by year:


	Years Ended December 31,
	2014		2013		2012
Bear Valley Rd., Victorville, CA	$	76,603	$	73,007	$	83,353
West Valley Blvd., Colton, CA		159,120		147,478		136,780
Palmdale Blvd., Palmdale, CA		74,286		69,249		67,994
DeAnza Country Shopping Center, Pedley, CA		134,201		137,669		130,342
Varner Road, Thousand Palms, CA		129,530		119,595		112,153

Total	$	573,740	$	546,998	$	530,622

The Partnership earns rental revenues equal to 12 percent of gross sales from the restaurants. The Partnership earned rental revenues of $573,740 during the year ended December 31, 2014, which represents an increase of $26,742 from 2013. The changes in rental revenues between 2013 and 2014 are directly attributable to changes in sales levels at the restaurants under lease due to local competitive and industry factors.

The Partnership earned rental revenues of $546,998 during the year ended December 31, 2013, which represents an increase of $16,376 from 2012. The changes in rental revenues between 2012 and 2013 are directly attributable to changes in sales levels at the restaurants under lease due to local competitive and industry factors.

The following table breaks down general and administrative expense by type of expense:


	Percentage of Total General and Administrative Expense
	Years Ended December 31,
	2014			2013			2012
Accounting fees		43.18	%		53.57	%		53.72	%
Distribution of information to limited partners		35.01			42.49			42.08
Potential sale-related expenses		18.79			—			—
Other		3.02			3.94			4.20

		100.00	%		100.00	%		100.00	%

General and administrative costs increased by $26,283 from 2013 to 2014. The increase was caused primarily by costs related to the “straw poll” and Form 8-K filings discussed in Notes 9 and 10.

General and administrative costs increased by $3,049 from 2012 to 2013. The increase was caused primarily by increased costs related to the mandatory filing process known as XBRL.

Net income increased by $4,677 from 2013 to 2014 due to the increase in revenues of $26,742 and the increase in other income of $4,218, partially offset by the increase in general and administrative expenses of $26,283.

Net income increased by $13,282 from 2012 to 2013 due to the increase in revenues of $16,376, partially offset by the increase in general and administrative expenses of $3,049 and the decrease in other income of $45.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

None that applies to the Partnership.

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-K 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 Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates (Continued)

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

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives which are 20 years for land improvements, 35 years for buildings and improvements, and 10 years for machinery and equipment.

The Partnership accounts for property and equipment in accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that requires long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating long-lived assets held for use, an impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying value of the asset. Once a determination has been made that an impairment loss should be recognized for long-lived assets, various assumptions and estimates are used to determine fair value including, among others, estimated costs of construction and development, recent sales of comparable properties and the opinions of fair value prepared by independent real estate appraisers. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

To the Partners

Del Taco Restaurant Properties II:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Del Taco Restaurant Properties II (a California Limited Partnership) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements of income, partners’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule of the Partnership in Item 15 (a) Schedule III – Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation . These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Del Taco Restaurant Properties II as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

DEL TACO RESTAURANT PROPERTIES II

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2014

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Partnership: Del Taco Restaurant Properties II, a California limited partnership, (the Partnership) was formed on June 20, 1984, for the purpose of acquiring real property in California for construction of seven Mexican-American restaurants to be leased under long-term agreements to Del Taco LLC (General Partner or Del Taco), for operation under the Del Taco trade name. The term of the partnership agreement is until April 30, 2025 unless terminated earlier by means provided in the partnership agreement.

The Partnership has no full-time employees (see Note 4). The Partnership agreement assigns full authority for general management and supervision of the business affairs of the Partnership to the General Partner. The General Partner has a one percent interest in the profits or losses and distributions of the Partnership. Limited partners have no right to participate in the day to day management or conduct of the Partnership’s business affairs.

Distributions are made to the general and limited partners in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership agreement (see Note 2).

Basis of Accounting: The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting for transactions relating to the business of the Partnership. The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Partnership’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Partnership’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements.

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.

Income Taxes: No provision has been made for federal or state income taxes on partnership net income, since the Partnership is not subject to income tax. Partnership income is includable in the taxable income of the individual partners as required under applicable income tax laws. Certain items, primarily related to depreciation methods, are accounted for differently for income tax reporting purposes (see Note 5).

Net Income Per Limited Partnership Unit: Net income per limited partnership unit is based on net income attributable to the limited partners (after 1% allocation to the general partner) using the weighted average number of units outstanding during the periods presented which amounted to 27,006 units for all years presented.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

DEL TACO RESTAURANT PROPERTIES II

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Concentration of Risk: The five restaurants leased to Del Taco make up all of the income producing assets of the Partnership and contributed all of the Partnership’s rental revenues for the three years ended December 31, 2014. Therefore, the business of the Partnership is entirely dependent on the success of the Del Taco trade name restaurants that lease the properties. The Partnership maintains substantially all of its cash and cash equivalents at one major commercial bank. Although the Partnership at times maintains balances that exceed the federally insured limit, it has not experienced any losses related to these balances and management believes the credit risk to be minimal.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The fair values of cash, accounts receivables, deposits, accounts payable and payables to limited partners approximate the carrying amounts due to their short maturities.

Subsequent Events: Management has evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2014 through the date the accompanying financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for transactions and other events that may require adjustment of and/or disclosure in such financial statements (see Note 10).

NOTE 2 – PARTNERS’ EQUITY

Pursuant to the partnership agreement, annual partnership income or loss is allocated one percent to Del Taco and 99 percent to the limited partners. Partnership gains from any sale or refinancing will be allocated one percent to the General Partner and 99 percent to the limited partners until allocated gains and profits equal losses, distributions and syndication costs previously allocated. Additional gains will be allocated 15 percent to the General Partner and 85 percent to the limited partners.

NOTE 3 – LEASING ACTIVITIES

The Partnership leases its 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 expire in the years 2021 to 2023. Pursuant to the lease agreements, minimum rentals of $3,500 per month are due to the Partnership during the first six months of any non-operating period caused by an insured casualty loss. The Partnership had a total of five properties leased as of December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012.

The five restaurants operated by Del Taco, for which the Partnership is the lessor, had combined, unaudited sales of $4,781,167, $4,558,320, and $4,421,845 and unaudited net losses of $98,452, $178,500 and $170,321 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Del Taco net income by restaurant includes charges for general and administrative expenses incurred in connection with supervision of restaurant operations and interest expense and the decrease in net loss from the corresponding period of the prior years primarily relates to increased sales.

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTIES

The receivable from Del Taco consists of rent accrued for the month of December 2014 and 2013. The rent receivable was collected in January 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The General Partner received $4,863, $4,549 and $4,384 in distributions relating to its one percent interest in the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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.

The General Partner provides certain minimal managerial and accounting services to the Partnership at no cost.

NOTE 8 – PAYABLE TO LIMITED PARTNERS

Payable to limited partners represents a reclassification from cash for distribution checks made to limited partners that have remained outstanding for six months or longer.

NOTE 9 – COMMUNICATION FROM CERTAIN LIMITED PARTNERS AND STRAW POLL RESULTS

During the third quarter of 2014, several limited partners communicated to the General Partner their desire to potentially sell all of the properties and then dissolve the Partnership. Pursuant to the Partnership agreement, any decision to sell all of the properties and to dissolve the Partnership would require approval from a majority in interest of limited partners. On October 1, 2014 the General Partner initiated a “straw poll” of all limited partners to determine if there is sufficient interest to support a potential sale of the properties and dissolution of the Partnership, as disclosed in Form 8-K filed on October 1, 2014. Limited partner responses to the straw poll were received during the fourth quarter of 2014 and on December 17, 2014, Del Taco filed a Form 8-K to disclose the results of the poll. The poll was intended to gauge interest level only and the results indicate a strong majority of the units responded either “open to” or “strongly in favor of” Del Taco testing the market and presenting a sale proposal to the limited partners for a vote. Accordingly, Del Taco filed a Form 8-K on January 12, 2015 indicating its intention to initiate a sale process to market the properties owned by the Partnership that may result in the presentation of a sale transaction to the limited partners for approval (see Note 10).

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Partnership filed a Form 8-K on January 12, 2015 indicating its intention to initiate a sale process to market the properties owned by the Partnership that may result in the presentation of a sale transaction to the limited partners for approval. Del Taco intended to appoint a special committee comprised of a small group of qualified limited partners to facilitate the sale process and to manage any potential conflicts of interest with respect to Del Taco that may arise during the sale process, however, zero timely applications were received. Therefore, the sale process has commenced without a special committee and Del Taco will resolve any potential conflicts of interest pursuant to the Partnership’s partnership agreement and applicable law. The sale process may result in the presentation of a sale transaction to the limited partners for approval; however, there are no assurances that Del Taco will receive any offers or will be successful in entering into a binding agreement to sell the properties. On February 17, 2015, MacKenzie Realty Capital, Inc. (“MacKenzie”), a limited partner, filed a Schedule TO initiating a tender offer to purchase all units of the Partnership. The MacKenzie tender offer is unrelated to the sale process that Del Taco has initiated. On February 27, 2015, the Partnership filed a Schedule 14D-9 solicitation/recommendation statement in response to the Schedule TO.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost–benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Internal control over financial reporting

(a)

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on these criteria.

(b)
