NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Basis of Presentation

These unaudited financial statements are being filed in conformity with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X regarding interim financial statements and do not contain all of the necessary footnote disclosures required for a fair presentation of the balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, in the opinion of management, this data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the Partnership’s financial position at June 30, 2002, its statements of operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and its statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. Results of operations for these periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

(2) Intangible Assets — Adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142

Effective January 1, 2002, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 requires that the Partnership cease amortization of goodwill and any other intangible assets determined to have indefinite lives, and establishes a new method of testing these assets for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value or if the fair values of intangible assets with indefinite lives falls below their carrying value on an annual basis. The amortization of existing goodwill ceased on December 31, 2001. The Partnership determined that its franchises met the definition of indefinite lived assets. Accordingly, amortization on these assets also ceased on December 31, 2001. The Partnership tested these intangibles for impairment upon adoption of the new standard and determined that the fair value of the assets exceeded their carrying value. The Partnership will continue to test these assets for impairment annually, or more frequently as warranted by events or changes in circumstances. The book value of the Partnership’s intangible assets is presented in the following table:
