                             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 50% of the "Net Revenues", if any from sale
proceeds of land collateralizing the debt.  Net revenues, as
defined by the participating Loan Agreement, represent the
difference between cash proceeds earned and the following, in this
order: 1) accrued but unpaid interest and "Applicable Principal
Balances"; 2) accrued preferred return (12% on the net offering
proceeds of the Registrant) and 3) the "Applicable Equity Balance". 
The "Applicable Principal Balance" is a fixed dollar amount
assigned in the loan agreement to the Property on a per acre basis
to represent a portion of the original principal amount of the
Lender Financing.  From property sales in 1990, 1991, 1994 and
1997, the cumulative "Applicable Principal Balance" due to the
Registrant is $1,677,707 and is payable from future sale proceeds,
after all accrued interest is paid.  

     Due to changes in managements estimates as a result of changes
in general economic conditions relating to the property securing
the Lender Financing, during the fourth quarter of 1998, the
Registrant established an impairment reserve against the balance
due on the Lender financing and reversed all interest previously
taken into income in 1998.  The Lender financing has been placed on
non-accrual status in accordance with the Registrant's policy for
impaired notes.  For further discussion regarding the Registrant's
policy for impaired notes, refer to Note 1(d) of the Financial
Statements included herein.  These adjustments to interest income
and the receivable balance are for financial reporting purposes
only.  Interest income of approximately $564,000 a year will be
recognized for tax and loan payment purposes.

     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 activities subject to 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, 1999, 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 1998 or 1996.  Other than liquidity
constraints, 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. 
Due to changes in managements estimates as a result of changes in general
economic conditions relating to the property securing the Lender Financing,
during the fourth quarter of 1998, the Registrant established an impairment
reserve against the balance due on the Lender financing and reversed all
interest previously taken into income in 1998.  The Lender financing has been
placed on non-accrual status in accordance with the Registrant's policy for
impaired notes.  For further discussion regarding the Registrant's policy for
impaired notes, refer to Note 1(d) of the Financial Statements included
herein.  These adjustments to interest income and the receivable balance are
for financial reporting purposes only.  Interest income of approximately
$564,000 a year will be recognized for tax and loan payment purposes.

     Except for the above fluctuations, the operations of the Registrant have
remained comparable through the years.  The minimal level of operational
expenses are expected to continue in the future.

     In 1997, the Borrower sold approximately 30 acres.  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 1998 or 1996. 

From sales in 1990, 1991, 1994 and 1997, the cumulative "Applicable
Principal Balance" of $1,677,707 is due and payable from the next
available sales proceeds, after all accrued interest is paid.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

     At February 28, 1999, the Registrant had approximately $6,841
available in funds to cover operating expenses for 1999.  Operating
expenses are primarily accounting fees which includes audit and
tax, and mortgage servicing fees.  The cash reserves are low.  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 sales proceeds for development and operations and did not
distribute all sales proceeds to the Registrant as payments of
interest or applicable principal.  The Borrower made interest
payments of $11,300, $734,500, $600,000, and $1,027,454 on the Lender
Financing in 1998, 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.  

Year 2000

     In 1998, the Partnership initiated a plan ("Plan") to identify, and
remediate "Year 2000" issues within each of its significant computer programs
and certain equipment which contain microprocessors.  The Plan is addressing
the issue of computer programs and embedded computer chips being unable to
distinguish between the year 1900 and the year 2000, if a program or chip
uses only two digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  The
Partnership has divided the Plan into five major phases-assessment, planning,
conversion, implementation and testing.  After completing the assessment and
planning phases earlier year, the Partnership is currently in the conversion,
implementation, and testing phases.  Systems which have been determined not
to be Year 2000 compliant are being either replaced or reprogrammed, and
thereafter tested for Year 2000 compliance.  The Plan anticipates that by
mid-1999 the conversion, implementation and testing phases will be completed. 
Management believes that the total remediation costs for the Plan will not be
material to the operations or liquidity of the Partnership.

     The Partnership is in the process of identifying and contacting critical
suppliers and other vendors whose computerized systems interface with the
Partnership's systems, regarding their plans and progress in addressing their
Year 2000 issues.  The Partnership has received varying information from such
third parties on the state of compliance or expected compliance.  Contingency
plans are being developed in the event that any critical supplier or customer
is not compliant.  

     The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption in, or failure of, certain normal business activities or
operations.  Such failures could materially and adversely affect the
Partnership's operations, liquidity and financial condition.  Due to the
general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 problem, resulting in part from
the uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of third-party suppliers and
customers, the Partnership is unable to determine at this time whether the
consequences of Year 2000 failures will have a material impact on the
Partnership's operations, liquidity or financial condition.<PAGE>

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, 1998 and 1997, and
the related statements of operations, partners' equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 1998.  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, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-
year period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                  Notes to Financial Statements

                   December 31, 1998 and 1997

(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.  

     (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 

     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 
                               F-6<PAGE>

     (d)  Note Receivable from Affiliate(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 plus accrued
     interest exceeds its estimated fair value.  The impairment
     allowance is established by a charge to earnings.  Any cash
     receipts on impaired notes receivable are applied to reduce
     the accrued interest due and the principal amount of such
     notes until the balances have been recovered and are
     recognized as interest income, thereafter.

     At December 31, 1998, the Partnership's note receivable met  
     the definitions of an impaired loan.  Accordingly, the note  
     receivable from affiliate is recorded at cost with an        
     allowance for impairment of $1,580,711 at December 31, 1998. 
     The note has been placed on non-accrual status.

     (e)  Loan Costs

     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 been 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 and the reserve
     for impairment.  For income tax purposes, the outstanding
     principal balance will continue to accrue 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 
     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 $4,272,759 and       
     $3,598,992 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     (h)  Comprehensive Income

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Partnership adopted Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting
     Comprehensive Income."  SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for
     reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
     components in a full set of general-purpose financial
     statements and requires that all components of comprehensive
     income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed
     with the same prominence as other financial statements. 
     Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a
     business enterprise during a period associated with
     transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner
     sources.  It includes all changes in equity during a period
     except those resulting from investments by owners and
     distributions to owners.  During the years ended December 31,
     1998 and 1997, the Partnership had no components of other
     comprehensive income.  Accordingly, comprehensive income for
     each of the years was the same as net income (loss).

(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 for performing certain services. 
     Expenses incurred for these services are as follows:

                                1998        1997        1996

(3)  Note Receivable From Affiliate

     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 accrued 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 1998, there were no land sales and the Partnership paid
     $11,300 in interest payments to the Lender.

     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

     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,
     1998 and 1997, the applicable principal balance due to the
     Partnership is $1,677,707.

     Interest income associated with the note payable from
     affiliate in 1998 was -0-, and $564,000 each year in 1997 and
     1996.

     The Partnership has determined that the note and interest
     receivable from the affiliate are impaired.  At December 31,
     1998 interest income recorded in 1998 was reversed and a
     valuation allowance for impairment was recorded as the
     estimated fair value of the underlying collateral was less
     than the recorded investment of the note and accrued interest. 
     

(4)  Distributions
     
     For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Partnership made
     distributions of $710,227. Of this amount, $703,125 ($125 per
     unit) was allocated to the limited partners and $7,102 was
     allocated to the general partner. There were no distributions
     in 1998 and 1996.

(5)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership had financial
     instruments including cash, interest receivable, a note
     receivable and a payable to an affiliate.  The carrying amount
     of cash and the payable to the affiliates approximates their
     fair value because of the short maturity of these financial
     instruments.

     The determination of the estimated fair values of the note
     receivable and related interest receivable was made based on
     the estimated fair value of the underlying property
     collateralizing the note.

                  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, 1998 and 1997, and
the related statements of operations, partners' deficit, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 1998.  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, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-
year period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                  Notes to Financial Statements

                   December 31, 1998 and 1997

(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.  

     (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 

          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 are recorded at
          cost and include approximately 200 acres at December 31,
          1998 and 1997.  Interest expense on the note payable to
          affiliate  insurance and property taxes were capitalized
          as carrying  costs of the property during the development
          period.  M-6<PAGE>

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     (d)  Land and Improvements Held for Investment(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" in 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.

                  Notes to Financial Statements

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     (e)  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.     
                    
      (f) 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.
 
          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.  

     (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:

                  Notes to Financial Statements

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     (g)  Partnership Allocations(continued)

          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 $2,137,500 and
          $1,912,500 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

                  Notes to Financial Statements

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
     (h)  Comprehensive Income

          Effective January 1, 1998, the Partnership adopted SFAS
          No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income".  SFAS No. 130
          establishes standards for reporting and display of
          comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
          general-purpose financial statements and requires that
          all components of comprehensive income be reported in a
          financial statement that is displayed with the same
          prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive
          income is defined as the change in equity of a business
          enterprise, during a period, associated with transactions
          and other events and circumstances from non-owner
          sources.  It includes all changes in equity during a
          period except those resulting from investments by owners
          and distributions to owners.  During the years ended 
          December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership had no  
          components of other comprehensive income.  Accordingly,
          comprehensive income for each of the years was the same
          as net loss.

(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:
                                1998        1997        1996
Accounting fees              $  2,100       2,100       2,100
Property management fee         3,000       3,000       3,000 
Real estate sales commission     -         88,000        -  
     Accounts receivable
       from affiliate                5,000        -           -   
 
(3)  Restricted Cash

          At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership had
          restricted cash balances of $140,769 and $380,198,
          respectively, to be used to fund property improvements
          consisting of road and utility work.  In 1998, the
          Partnership received excess escrowed development funds
          from the escrow agent.  The development payable related
          to these escrowed funds, also overestimated, was reduced
          by the excess cash received.  Cost of land sold and land
          improvements, also effected by this development, was
          reduced.  This restricted cash securs a letter of credit
          in the same amount to ensure that the required
          developments are made.   M-10<PAGE>

(4)  Land and Improvements Held for Investment

          The components of land and improvements held for
          investment at December 31, are as follows:
                                            1998        1997
            Land and carrying costs     $ 3,947,078    3,947,078
            Land improvements             1,652,850    1,685,845

                                        $ 5,599,928    5,632,923

          Aggregate cost of land and improvements held for
          investment for federal income tax purposes was $7,392,325
          and $7,430,492 at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
          respectively.

(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 1998, there were no land sales and the
          Partnership paid $11,300 in interest payments to the
          Lender.  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 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

(5)  Note Payable - Affiliate(continued)

          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.  Of the $4,700,000
          total principal balance outstanding, the applicable
          principal balance due to Lender is $1,677,707 at December
          31, 1998 and 1997.

          Interest expense associated with the note payable to
          affiliate in 1998, 1997, and 1996 was $564,000.

(6)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

          At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership had
          financial instruments including cash, restricted cash,
          accrued interest payable, accounts payable, accrued
          property taxes, and notes payable.  The carrying amounts
          of cash, 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.
