                             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 management's 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 1999.  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.  This policy was
accepted upon the recommendation of the Registrant's principal
accountants. 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 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.

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 several 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, 2000, 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 1999 or 1998.  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.  This policy was accepted upon the recommendation of the
Registrant's principal accountants. 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 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
foreseeable 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, 2000, the Registrant had approximately $6,841
available in funds to cover operating expenses for 2000.  Operating
expenses are primarily accounting fees which includes audit and
tax, and mortgage servicing fees.  The cash reserves are
insufficient.  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 1999, 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 addressed 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 divided the Plan into five major phases-assessment,
planning, conversion, implementation and testing. The plan was
completed in mid 1999.  The total remediation costs for the plan
were not material to the questions or liquidity of the
partnerships.  The registrant had no significant operational
difficulties related to Year 2000 issues.  Management does not
expect any future issues or operational problems related to Year
2000 issues.

                  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, 1999 and 1998, and
the related statements of operations, partners' equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 1999.  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, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-
year period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                   December 31, 1999 and 1998

(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

     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

     (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.

     During 1998, the Partnership determined that the note
     receivable was impaired.  The amount of the impairment was
     based on the fair value of the underlying land and
     improvements of Raines Road, L.P., which serves as collateral
     for the note.  The note receivable from affiliate remained
     recorded at cost with an allowance for impairment of
     $1,580,711 against prior accrued interest at December 31,
     1999.  The note was 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.

     (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 $4,947,759 and
     $4,272,759 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     (h)  Comprehensive Income

     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,
     1999 and 1998, 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:

                                1999        1998        1997

(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 1999 and 1998 there were no land sales and the Partnership paid
$0 and $11,300 in interest payments to the Lender, respectively.

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, 1999 and 1998, the applicable
principal balance due to the Partnership is $1,677,707.

Interest income associated with the note payable from affiliate in
1999 and 1998 was -0-, and $564,000 in 1997.

The Partnership has determined that the note and interest
receivable from the affiliate are impaired.

(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 1999 and 1998.

                  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, 1999 and 1998, and
the related statements of operations, partners' deficit, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 1999.  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, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-
year period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                     (A Limited Partnership)

                  Notes to Financial Statements

                   December 31, 1999 and 1998

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a)  Organization

          Raines Road, L.P. (the Partnership) is a Delaware
          limitedpartnership 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
          believes it 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.  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,
          1999 and 1998.  Interest expense on the note payable to
          affiliate, insurance, and property taxes were capitalized

     (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.

          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.
          Accordingly, land held for investment is recorded at cost
          with no allowance for impairment necessary.

     (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:

(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 $2,362,500 at
          December 31, 1999.

          (h)  Comprehensive Income

          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 three
          years ended  December 31, 1999, 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:
                                    1999        1998         1997
     Accounting fees             $ 2,600       2,100        2,100
     Property management fee       3,000       3,000        3,000
     Real estate sales commission    -           -         88,000
     Accounts receivable
        from affiliate             2,100       5,000          -

(3)  Restricted Cash

     At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership had restricted cash
     balances of $143,642 and $140,769, 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.

(4)  Land and Improvements Held for Investment

     The components of land and improvements held for investment at
     December 31, 1998 and 1998 are as follows:

            Land and carrying costs     $  3,947,078
            Land improvements              1,652,850

                                        $  5,599,928

     Aggregate cost of land and improvements held for investment for
     federal income tax purposes was $7,392,325 at December 31, 1999 and
     1998.

(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 1999 and 1998, there were
     no land sales and the Partnership paid $-0- and $11,300
     respectively in interest payments to the Lender.  In 1997, the
     Partnership sold 26.6 acres of land, recognizing a gain 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 has not paid 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, 1999 and 1998.

     Interest expense associated with the note payable to affiliate in
     1999, 1998, and 1997 was $564,000.
