PART I
Item 1. Business
Raines Lenders, L.P. ("Registrant"), is a Delaware limited
partnership organized on December 16, 1988, pursuant to the
provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act,
Sections 17-101 - 17-1109, Title 6. The General Partner of the
Registrant is 222 Raines, Ltd., a Tennessee limited partnership,
whose general partners are Steven D. Ezell, Michael A. Hartley and
222 Partners, Inc.
The Registrant's primary business is to lend monies to Raines
Road, L.P. an affiliated partnership, which is engaged primarily in
the business of acquiring, developing and disposing of certain
undeveloped real estate in Memphis, Tennessee (the "Property").
The Registrant's investment objectives are preservation of capital
and capital appreciation through lending with a participating
interest in a partnership that invests in real estate which is
expected to appreciate through the passage of time, growth in the
surrounding areas, and the development of the Property prior to
resale.
Financial Information about Industry Segments
The Registrant's activity is within one industry segment and
geographical area. Therefore, financial data relating to the
industry segment and geographical area is included in Item 6 -
Selected Financial Data.
Narrative Description of Business
The Registrant issued a $4,700,000 participating mortgage note
(the "Lender Financing"), maturing on December 31, 2001 to Raines
Road, L.P., (the "Borrower") an affiliated partnership sharing the
same General Partner. The proceeds of the Lender Financing were
used by the Borrower, together with the available equity proceeds,
to acquire the Property and fund reserves. The Lender Financing
entitles the Registrant to receive a priority return of interest
and principal, and a 50% profit participation upon the sale of the
Property by the Borrower.
The Property securing the Lender Financing consists of
approximately 200 acres of partially developed land on Raines Road
in Memphis, Tennessee, adjacent to the Memphis International
Airport. The Property is zoned for a wide variety of light
industrial, warehouse, office-warehouse and distribution uses. All
utilities, including water, sewer, electricity and natural gas, are
available to the Property.
In May, 1994, the Borrower secured a $1,100,000 loan
commitment from C.I.O.S., a Tennessee charitable lead trust. On
May 6, 1996 the Borrower retired the loan in full. The original
loan proceeds were used to pay property taxes and a
construction payable. The C.I.O.S. note was secured with a first
mortgage on the Borrower's Property and left the Registrant with a
subordinated position.
Competition
Because the Registrant is under agreement to loan all proceeds
raised, less operating reserves, to Raines Road, L.P., the
Registrant is not involved in competition.
The General Partner believes that the Property securing the
Lender Financing provides strong competition for purchasers or
developers of land in the Memphis Airport Area. There are a number
of tracts of competitive industrial land in the area.
Primary competition comes from three industrial parks in the
airport sub-market, each offering similar pricing to the
Registrant. The General Partner believes that the Property is
competitive due to its location, access and low costs of
development.
The Registrant has no employees. Mortgage services are being
provided under a contractual agreement with Landmark Realty
Services Corporation, an affiliate of the General Partner.
Item 2. Properties
The Registrant does not own any property, nor does it intend
to own any property in the future.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Registrant is not party to any material legal proceedings.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
The security holders of Registrant did not vote on any matter
during the fiscal year covered by this report.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrants' Units of Limited Partnership
Interest and Related Security Holder Matters
There is no established market for the Units, and it is not
anticipated that any will exist in the future. The Registrant
commenced an offering to the public on April 3, 1989 of 5,625 Units
of Limited Partnership Interests at $1,000 per Unit. The offering
of $5,625,000 was fully subscribed and closed on December 15, 1989.
As of February 28, 1998, there were 503 holders of record of the
Units of Limited Partnership Interests.
On June 20, 1997, the Registrant distributed $703,125 to the limited
partners or $125 per unit. This distribution was made from payments received
on the Lender Financing. There were no distributions made in 1996. There
are no material restrictions upon the Registrant's present or future
ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of
Registrant's Limited Partnership Agreement.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Due to the nature of the Registrant, the majority of its
activity on a regular basis is to earn interest income. There are
no interest payments due to the Registrant until the Property
securing the Registrant's loan or portions thereof is sold, or
until December 31, 2001, whichever is first.
The operations of the Registrant have remained comparable
through the years. The minimal operational expenses are expected
to continue in the future.
In 1997, the Borrower sold approximately 30 acres to a
distribution user. Of the $2.2 million in sale proceeds, $1.1
million was escrowed for development of the sale site and adjacent
land, and $734,500 was paid to the Registrant on the Lender
Financing. The Borrower did not have any property sales in 1996 or
1995.
From sales in 1990, 1991, 1994 and 1997, the Cumulative Applicable
Principal payments of $1,677,707 are due and payable from the next
available sales proceeds, after all accrued interest is paid.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
At February 28, 1998, the Registrant had approximately $6,841
available in funds to cover operating expenses for 1998. Operating
expenses are primarily accounting fees which includes audit and
tax, and mortgage servicing fees. The cash reserves are expected
to run low toward the latter part of 1998. If a sale of the
property occurs, then funds may be available from a payment on the
Lender Financing. The General Partner expects the Registrant to
meet operational needs through affiliated loans if necessary.
In 1997, 1994, 1991 and 1990, the Borrower retained a portion
of sale proceeds for development and operations and did not
distribute all sale proceeds to the Registrant as payments of
interest or applicable principal. The Borrower made interest
payments of $734,500, $600,000, and $1,027,454 on the Lender
Financing in 1997, 1995 and 1991, respectively. The Registrant's
and Borrower's joint General Partner believes that using sales
proceeds for development and distributing only the Borrower's net
available cash was contemplated by the loan agreement. However,
the loan agreement is ambiguous on this use of funds; therefore,
this treatment could constitute a default on the loan agreement.
In such an event, the registrant is required to foreclose the loan
and accelerate the amounts due. Currently, the Registrant has not
foreclosed or accelerated the amounts due under the loan agreement
and has no plans to do so.
We have considered the impact of the Year 2000 issues on our
computer systems and applications and developed a remediation plan.
We expect the cost of upgrading computers and software to be
immaterial to the Partnership.<PAGE>

Independent Auditors' Report
The Partners
Raines Lenders, L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Raines Lenders,
L.P. (a limited partnership) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the related statements of earnings, partners' equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes 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 Raines
Lenders, L.P. at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-
year period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1997 and 1996
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Organization
Raines Lenders, L.P. (the Partnership) is a Delaware limited
partnership organized on December 16, 1988, for the purpose of
making a participating mortgage loan to Raines Road, L.P., which
shares the same General Partner. The General Partner is 222
Raines, Ltd., whose general partners are Steven D. Ezell, Michael
A. Hartley and 222 Partners,Inc. The Partnership prepares
financial statements and Federal income tax returns on the accrual
method and includes only those assets, liabilities and results of
operations which relate to the business of the Partnership. In the
event that the Partnership has short-term cash deficiencies, the
General Partner can defer the collection of fees for certain
related party expenses or grant interest-free loans from related
parties until cash becomes available.
(b) Estimates
Management of the Partnership has made estimates and
assumptions to prepare these financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers all short-term investments with
original maturities of three months or less at the date of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
Cash belonging to the Partnership is combined in an account
with funds from other partnerships related to the general
partner.
(d) Note Receivable from Affiliate
The Partnership, considering current information and events
regarding the borrower's ability to repay its obligations,
considers a note to be impaired when it is probable that the
Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due
according to the contractual terms of the note agreement.
When a note is considered to be impaired, the amount of the
impairment is measured based upon the estimated fair value of
<PAGE>
RAINES LENDERS, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
the underlying collateral. When a note is considered
impaired, management ceases the accrual of interest income.
The Partnership will establish an impairment allowance for the
amount that the recorded value of the note exceeds its
estimated fair value. The impairment allowance is established
by a change in earnings. Any cash receipts on impaired notes
receivable are applied to reduce the principal amount of such
notes until the principal has been recovered and are
recognized as interest income, thereafter.
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership's note receivable
did not meet the definitions of an impaired loan. Accordingly, the
note receivable from affiliate is recorded at cost with no
allowance for impairment.
(e) Deferred Loan Costs
Deferred loan costs are amortized by the straight-line method
over the thirteen year term of the note receivable from
affiliate.
(f) Income Taxes
No provision has or will be made for Federal or state income
taxes since such taxes are the responsibility of the Partners.
Annually, the Partners receive from the Partnership IRS form
K-1's, which provide them with their respective share of
taxable income (or losses), deductions, and other tax related
information. The only difference between the tax basis and
reported amounts of the Partnership's assets and liabilities
relates to the recognition of interest income. For income tax
purposes, the outstanding principal balance accrues interest
at a compounded interest rate of 8.7% per annum.
(g) Partnership Allocations
Net profits, losses and distribution of cash flow of the
Partnership are allocated to the Partners in accordance with
the Partnership agreement as follows:
Partnership net profits are allocated first to any partner
with a negative balance in their capital account, determined
at the end of the taxable year as if the Partnership had
distributed cash flow, in proportion to the negative capital
balance account of all partners until no partner's capital
<PAGE>
RAINES LENDERS
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
account is negative. Net profit allocations are then made to
limited partners up to the difference between their capital
account balances and the sum of their adjusted capital
contributions (capital balance, net of cumulative cash
distributions in excess of preferred returns - 12% annual
cumulative return on capital contributed). Any remaining net
profit allocations are then made to the limited partners until
the taxable year in which cumulative profits to the limited
partners equal their adjusted capital contribution plus an
unpaid preferred return (12% annual cumulative return on
capital contributed). Net profits are then allocated to the
general partner until the ratio of the general partner's
capital account balance to the capital account balances, in
excess of adjusted capital contributions and unpaid preferred
return, of all limited partners is 27% to 73%. Thereafter,
profits are generally allocated 27% to the general partner and
73% to the limited partners. Net losses are allocated to the
partners in proportion to their positive capital accounts.
Partnership distributions are allocated 99% to limited
partners and 1% to the general partner in an amount equal to
their preferred return (12% annual, cumulative return on
capital contributed), 99% to the limited partners and 1% to
the general partner until the limited partners have received
an amount equal to their adjusted capital contributions, and
then 73% to the limited partners and 27% to the general
partner.
Cumulative unpaid preferred returns are $3,598,992 and $3,627,117
at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
the current year presentation.<PAGE>

The note receivable from affiliate represents a $4,700,000
long-term note receivable from Raines Road, L.P. (the Borrower), an
affiliate sharing the same General Partner. The note accrues
simple interest at an annual rate of 12% plus additional interest
equal to 50% of "net revenues", as defined in the Participating
Loan Agreement. The note is secured by a mortgage on land and
improvements held for investment by the Borrower and by a security
interest in any unrestricted cash reserves or investment securities
held by the Borrower. The note is due December 31, 2001.

In 1997 the Partnership sold 26.6 acres of land receiving net proceeds of
$628,719 and paid $734,500 in interest payments to the Lender.
Due to anticipated future requirements for additional
development and operations, the Borrower retained certain proceeds from
sales and did not pay additional amounts of interest and/or
applicable principal balance to the Partnership. The Partnership's
and Borrower's joint general partner believes that retaining sales
proceeds for development, and distributing only net available cash
to the Partnership, was contemplated by the note agreement.
However, the note agreement does not explicitly authorize this use
<PAGE>
RAINES LENDERS, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
(3) Note Receivable from Affiliate (continued)
of funds; therefore, this treatment could constitute a default on
the note agreement. In such an event, the Partnership is required
to accelerate the amounts due or foreclose the loan. To date, the
Partnership has not foreclosed or accelerated the amounts due under
the note agreement. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the applicable
principal balance due to the Partnership is $1,677,707 and $1,229,257
respectively.
Interest income associated with the note payable from affiliate in
1997, 1996, and 1995 was $564,000, $564,000, and $571,834, respectively.
(4) Distributions
For the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1995, the Partnership made
distributions of $710,227 and $568,182, respectively. Of these amounts,
$703,125 and $562,500 ($125 per unit and $100 per unit) were allocated to the
limited partners and $7,102 and $5,682 were allocated to the general partner.
There were no distributions in 1996.
(5) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership had financial
instruments including cash and cash equivalents, interest
receivable, accounts payable, and a note receivable. The carrying
amounts of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable
approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those
financial instruments.
The determination of the estimated fair values of the note
receivable and related interest receivable was not practicable as
the note agreement does not provide for a predictable cash payment
stream.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Partners
Raines Road, L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Raines Road,
L.P. (a limited partnership) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the related statements of operations, partners' deficit, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes 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 Raines
Road, L.P. at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-
year period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1, the Partnership adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" on January 1, 1996.

(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1997 and 1996
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Organization
Raines Road, L.P. (the Partnership) is a Delaware limited
partnership organized on December 16, 1988 to acquire several
contiguous, undeveloped tracts of land in Memphis, Tennessee for
the purpose of developing and selling parcels of real estate. The
General Partner is 222 Raines, Ltd., whose general partners are
Steven D. Ezell, Michael A. Hartley, and 222 Partners, Inc. The
Partnership prepares financial statements and income tax returns on
the accrual method of accounting. The financial statements include
only those assets, liabilities and results of operations which
relate to the Partnership.In the event that the Partnership has
short-term cash deficiencies, the General Partner can defer the
collection of fees for certain related party expenses or grant
interest-free loans from related parties until cash becomes
available.
(b) Estimates
Management of the Partnership has made estimates and
assumptions to prepare these financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
These estimates include the determination of the
estimated fair value of the Partnership's land and
improvements in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No. 121. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers all short-term investments with
original maturities of three months or less at the date
of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Cash belonging to the Partnership is combined in an
account with funds from other partnerships related to the
general partner.
(d) Land and Improvements Held for Investment
Land and improvements held for investment is recorded at
cost and includes approximately 203 and 230 acres in 1997 and
1996. Interest expense on the note payable to affiliate,
insurance and property taxes are capitalized as carrying
costs of the property during the development period.
<PAGE>
RAINES ROAD, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Costs to hold land, including interest, insurance, and
property taxes are charged to expense once the develop-
ment of the property is substantially complete. Land
improvement costs incurred and capitalized include
development costs expended subsequent to the acquisition
of a tract of land.
The Partnership adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" on January 1,
1996. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets to be
disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying
amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. The
fair value of the assets can be determined externally,
using appraisals, or internally using discounted future
net cash flows. If such assets are considered impaired,
the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount
by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the
fair value of the assets less estimated costs to sell.
Impairment is recognized through the establishment of an
allowance for impairment with a corresponding charge to
operations. Losses upon the sale of the assets are
charged to the allowance. Based upon management's
analysis of discounted future net cash flows, the
Partnership's land and improvements held for investment
does not meet definitions of impairment under SFAS No.
121. Accordingly, land held for investment is recorded
at cost with no allowance for impairment necessary. The
adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have an impact on the
Partnership's financial position, results of operations,
or liquidity.
(e) Loan Costs
Loan costs were amortized by the straight-line method
over the two year term of the note payable.
(f) Income Recognition
Income from sales of land and improvements held for
investment is generally recorded on the accrual basis when
the buyer's financial commitment is sufficient to provide
economic substance to the transaction, and when other
criteria of SFAS No. 66 "Accounting for Sales of Real
Estate" are satisfied. For sales of real estate where both
cost recovery is reasonably certain and the collectibility
of the contract price is reasonably assured, but the
transaction does not meet the remaining requirements to be
recorded on the accrual basis, profit is deferred and
recognized under the installment method, which recognizes
profit as collections of principal are received. If
developments subsequent to the adoption of the installment
method occur which cause the transaction to meet the
requirements of the full accrual method, the remaining
deferred profit is recognized at that time. Any losses on
sales of real estate are recognized at the time of the sale.
(g) Income Taxes
No provision has been made in the financial statements
for Federal or state income taxes, since such taxes are
the responsibilities of the partners.
<PAGE>
RAINES ROAD, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Annually, the partners receive, from the Partnership, IRS
Form K-1's, which provide them with their respective
share of taxable income or losses, deductions, and
other tax related information. The only difference
between the tax basis and reported amounts of the
Partnership's assets and liabilities relates to the
valuation of land held for investment. For income tax
purposes certain costs were capitalized as additional
land improvement costs.
(h) Partnership Allocations
Net profits, losses and distribution of cash flow of the
Partnership are allocated to the Partners in accordance
with the Partnership agreement as follows:
Partnership net profits are allocated first to any
partner with a negative balance in their capital account,
determined at the end of the taxable year as if the
Partnership had distributed cash flow, in proportion to
the negative capital balance account of all partners
until no partner's capital account is negative. Net
profit allocations are then made to the limited partners
up to the difference between their capital account
balances and the sum of their adjusted capital
contributions (capital balance, net of cumulative cash
distributions in excess of preferred returns - 12% annual
cumulative return on capital contributed). Any remaining
net profit allocations are then made to the limited
partners until the taxable year in which cumulative
profits to the limited partners equal their adjusted
capital contribution plus an unpaid preferred return (12%
annual cumulative return on capital contributed). Net
profits are then allocated to the general partner until
the ratio of the general partner's capital account
balance to the capital account balances, in excess of
adjusted capital contributions and unpaid preferred
return, of all limited partners is 27% to 73%. Thereafter,
profits are generally allocated 27% to the general
partner and 73% to the limited partners. Net losses are
allocated to the partners in proportion to their positive
capital accounts.
Partnership distributions are allocated 99% to the
limited partners and 1% to the general partner in an
amount equal to their preferred return (12% annual,
cumulative return on capital contributed), 99% to the

limited partners and 1% to the general partner until the
limited partners have received an amount equal to their
adjusted capital contributions, and then 73% to the
limited partners and 27% to the general partner.
Cumulative unpaid preferred returns are $1,912,500 and
$1,687,500 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
(i) Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the current year presentation.
(2) Related Party Transactions
The General Partner and its affiliates have been actively
involved in managing the Partnership. Affiliates of the
General Partner receive fees and commissions for performing
certain services. Expenses incurred for these services are as
follows:
1997 1996 1995
Accounting fees $ 2,100 2,100 1,500
Property management fee 3,000 3,000 3,000
Real estate sales commission 88,000 - -
(3) Restricted Cash
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership had restricted
cash balances of $380,198 and $156,241, respectively, to be used to
fund property improvements consisting of road and utility work.
(4) Land and Improvements Held for Investment
The components of land and improvements held for investment at
December 31, are as follows:
1997 1996
Land and carrying costs $ 3,947,078 4,826,846
Land improvements 1,685,845 1,030,015

December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

RAINES ROAD, L.P.

Notes to Financial Statements
(5) Note Payable - Affiliate
The note payable to affiliate represents a $4,700,000 note
payable to Raines Lenders, L.P. (Lender), an affiliate sharing
the same General Partner. The note accrues simple interest at
an annual rate of 12% plus additional interest equal to 50% of
"net revenues", as defined in the Participating Loan
Agreement. The note is secured by a mortgage on land and
improvements held for investment by the Partnership and by a
security interest in any cash reserves or investment
securities held by the Partnership. Interest and principal
payments become due upon the sale of the collateral or any
portion thereof to the extent cash is available, but no later
than December 31, 2001.
In 1997, the Partnership sold 26.6 acres of land receiving net
proceeds of $628,720 and paid $734,500 in interest payments to the
Lender.
Due to anticipated future requirements for additional
development and operations, the Partnership retained certain proceeds
from sales and did not pay the additional amounts of
interest and/or applicable principal balance to the Lender.
The Partnership's and Lender's joint general partner believes
that retaining sales proceeds for development and distributing
only net available cash to the Lender was contemplated by the
note agreement. However, the note agreement does not
explicitly authorize this use of funds; therefore, this
treatment could constitute a default on the note agreement.
In such an event, Lender is required to foreclose the note and
accelerate the amounts due. To date, the Lender has not
foreclosed or accelerated the amounts due under the note
agreement. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the applicable
principal balance due to Lender is $1,677,707 and $1,196,180,
respectively.

RAINES ROAD, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership had financial
instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted
cash, accrued interest payable, accounts payable, accrued
property taxes, and notes payable. The carrying amounts of
cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable,
and accrued property taxes approximate their fair value
because of the short maturity of those financial instruments.
The determination of the estimated fair values of the note
payable and the related accrued interest payable to affiliate
was not practicable as the note agreement does not provide for
a predictable cash payment stream.
