DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

Documents Incorporated by Reference in Part IV:

Prospectus of Registrant, dated April 3, 1989, as filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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.

Prior to December 29, 2000, the Registrant's primary business was to lend monies to Raines Road, L.P., an affiliated partnership, which was engaged primarily in the business of acquiring, developing and disposing of certain undeveloped real estate in Memphis, Tennessee (the "Property"). The General Partner determined that the value of the underlying collateral could not result in full payment of the debt and accrued interest. On December 29, 2000, the Registrant foreclosed on the debt of Raines Road, L.P. due to defaults on the loan agreement. Because of the foreclosure, the Registrant's financial statements included herein, as of December 31, 2000, reflect the transfer of the Property to the Registrant.

Prior to December 28, 2000, the Registrant's investment objectives were preservation of capital and capital appreciation through lending with a participating interest in a partnership that invested in real estate which was expected to appreciate through the passage of time, growth in the surrounding areas, and the development of the Property prior to resale. After December 28, 2000, the Registrant's investment objectives are preservation of capital, and short-term liquidation of the Property.

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

In 1989, 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 entitled 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. On December 29, 2000, the Registrant foreclosed on the debt of Raines Road, Ltd. due to defaults on the loan agreement.

The land taken in foreclosure consists of approximately 200 acres of partially developed land on Raines Road in Memphis, Tennessee, adjacent to the Memphis International Airport (the "Property"). 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

The General Partner believes that the Property 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. Administrative services are being provided under a contractual agreement with Landmark Realty Services Corporation, an affiliate of the General Partner.

Item 2. Property

The Property taken in foreclosure 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

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Registrant is not a party to 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. On April 3, 1989, the Registrant commenced an offering to the public 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, 2002, there were 488 holders of record of the Units of Limited Partnership Interests.

There were no distributions made in 2001, 2000 or 1999. 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

The Registrant foreclosed on its lien on the Property on December 29, 2000 at a bid price of $5,400,000, based on (i) the outstanding loan and interest receivables balance and (ii) the Registrant's estimate of the retail market value of the property. The Registrant subsequently obtained a third-party appraisal to help ascertain the appropriate fair value of the property. The fair value of the Property was difficult to determine since there have been no sales activity over the past three years. The primary factors in determining the fair value of the Property are (i) discount rate to apply to anticipated future net cash flows, (ii) the sales pricing obtainable for both the smaller and larger parcels, (iii) the amount of money needed to be spent to obtain these sales prices and (iv) the period of time it will it take to sell the property at these assumed sales prices. Based on the specific assumptions set out in the appraisal report and the estimate of the Net Present Value of the Proper ty reflected in the appraisal, the Registrant (i) recorded the Property at a fair value of $3,400,000 and (ii) recorded bad debt expense of $2,363,088.

Due to the foreclosure, the operations of the Registrant include property expenses and expenses from foreclosure beginning in 2001. Miscellaneous income in 2001 represents the refund of estimated payments made on franchise and excise tax. The increase in 2001 legal and accounting fees is due to the foreclosure. General and administrative costs increased from 1999 due to the foreclosure of the Property. In 2000, unamortized capitalized loan costs at December 29, 2000 were written off and recorded as bad debt expense due to the foreclosure. The State of Tennessee enacted legislation to assess franchise and excise tax on limited partnerships beginning with the year ending December 31, 2000. Property taxes in 2001 reflect those taxes due for the first year the property was owned by the Registrant.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

At December 31, 2001, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $44 and liabilities to non-affiliated entities of $515,584. The cash is insufficient to fund ongoing operations. The Partnership owns assets with a carrying value of $3,548,005 and has total liabilities of $515,584. If funds are not sufficient to meet operational expenses in 2002, the General Partner will defer the collection of fees for certain affiliated expenses and will provide advances until cash becomes available. Further, on December 31, 2001, the Registrant secured a line of credit from a bank totaling $600,000 and can draw down on this line as necessary to fund operations. At December 31, 2001, the Registrant had drawn down $321,352, which bears interest at a prime rate of 4.75% at December 31, 2003 and is due December 21, 2002

Critical Accounting Policies

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, land and improvements held for sale is reported at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell (Fair Value). To determine the Fair Value, management estimates the future discounted net cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with the property. If this land is considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the Fair Value. Inherent in the calculation of future discounted net cash flows are certain significant management judgments and estimates including, among others, liquidation period, discount rate, selling price, and costs to sell, which significantly impact the Fair Value. Based upon management's analysis of the Partnership's land and improvements held for sale, no impairment charge was necessary at December 31, 2001.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

At December 31, 2001, the Partnership has no capital lease obligations, operating leases, unconditional purchase obligations or other long term obligations. The Partnership does not enter into derivative transactions. The partnership has a line of credit of $600,000 at a bank and has drawn down $321,352 on the line at December 31, 2001. Interest on this amount is at prime rate (4.75% at December 31, 2001) and amounts drawn down are due December 21, 2002. At December 31, 2001and 2000, the Partnership has cash balances of $139,200 and $140,774, respectively, restricted by the City of Memphis to be used to fund property improvements, consisting of road and utility work. This restricted cash secures a letter of credit in the same amount to ensure the required developments are made. The Partnership may also borrow from the General Partner in order to meet cash flow needs and may have amounts payable to the General Partner for management fees or other services. At December 31, 2001, the Partnership had no borrowings from the General Partner. Transactions with the General Partner and affiliates are discussed in footnote 2 to the financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144). SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. SFAS No. 144 requires companies to se parately report discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale abandonment or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less selling costs. The Partnership is required to adopt SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The Partnership does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have a significant impact on the financial condition or results of operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The Registrant has no significant market risk exposure as defined by Item 305 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

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, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of operations, partners' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three- year period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted  in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Partnership will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Partnership has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net working capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

RAINES LENDERS, L.P.

(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2001 and 2000

(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, LP, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America. 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

On December 29, 2000, the Partnership foreclosed on the property collateralizing the note receivable from Raines Road, L.P., due to defaults on the loan agreement. The General Partner determined that the value of the underlying collateral could not result in full payment of the debt and accrued interest. Because of the foreclosure, the Registrant's financial statements included herein, as of December 31, 2000, reflect the transfer of the Property to the Partnership.

(e) Loan Costs

Loan costs are related to a line of credit from a bank obtained on December 21, 2001. These amounts will be amortized over the one year term of the line of credit. Loan costs prior to December 29, 2000 were amortized by the straight-line method over the thirteen-year term of the note receivable from affiliate. All loan costs not amortized at the date of foreclosure, December 29, 2000, were written off as part of bad debt expense.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2001 and 2000

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

    1. Income Taxes
      No provision has or will be made for Federal income taxes since such taxes are the personal responsibility of the partners. Annually, the partners receive, from the Partnership IRS Form K-1's that provide them with their respective share of taxable income or losses, deductions, and other tax related information. Beginning in 2000, the partnership pays state taxes on earnings from Tennessee
      operations.
      The Partnership accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
      The Partnership's income tax expense relates to state taxes for income from continuing operations in Tennessee.

(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 $5,622,759 and $4,947,759 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, 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, 2001, 2000, and 1999. the Partnership had no components of other comprehensive income. Accordingly, comprehensive loss for each of the years was the same as net loss.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2001 and 2000

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

    1. Land and Improvements Held for sale
      At December 31, 2001, land and improvements held for sale includes approximately 200 acres of partially developed land on Raines Road in Memphis, Tennessee, adjacent to the Memphis International Airport.

      The Partnership foreclosed on its lien on the property on December 29, 2000 at a bid price of $5,400,000, based on (i) the outstanding loan and interest receivables balance and (ii) the Partnership's estimate of the market value of the property. The Partnership subsequently obtained a third-party appraisal to help ascertain the appropriate fair value of the property. The fair value of the Property was difficult to determine since there have been no sales activity over the past three years. The primary factors in determining the fair value of the property are (i) discount rate to apply to anticipated future net cash flows, (ii) the sales pricing obtainable for both the smaller and larger parcels, (iii) the amount of money needed to be spent to obtain these sales prices and (iv) the period of time it will it take to sell the property at these assumed sales prices. Based on the specific assumptions set out in the appraisal report and the estimate of the net present value of the property reflected in the app raisal, the Partnership (i) recorded the property at a fair value of $3,400,000 and (ii) recorded bad debt expense in 2000 of $2,363,088.

      Land and Improvements held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. The estimated 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 estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell of the assets. If impaired, a loss is provided to reduce the carrying value of the land and improvements held for sale to its estimated fair value.
    1. Income Recognition
      Income from sales of land and improvements held for sale 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2001 and 2000

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
    1. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
      In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144). SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows
      expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. SFAS No. 144 requires companies to s eparately report discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale abandonment or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less selling costs. The Partnership is required to adopt SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The Partnership does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have a significant impact on the financial condition or results of operations.
  1. 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:

  3. Restricted Cash
    At December 31, 2001and 2000, the Partnership has cash balances of $139,200 and $140,774, respectively, restricted by the City of Memphis to be used to fund property improvements, consisting of road and utility work. This restricted cash secures a letter of credit in the same amount to ensure the required developments are made.
  4. Land and Improvements Held for sale
    Land and improvements held for sale at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $3,400,000. The aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes of land and improvements held for sale was $5,763,088 at December 31, 2001 and 2000.
  5. Liquidity
    The Partnership has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net working capital deficiency at December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2001, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $44 and liabilities to non-affiliated entities of $515,584. The cash is insufficient to fund ongoing operations. The Partnership owns assets with a carrying value of $3,548,005 and has liabilities of $515,584. If funds are not sufficient in 2001, the General Partner will defer the collection of fees for certain affiliated expenses and will provide advances until cash becomes available.
  6. Note Payable
    The Partnership obtained a line of credit (LOC) of $600,000 which bears interest at prime rate with a floor of 4.0% and a ceiling of 24.0% (4.75% at December 31, 2001). The Partnership had drawn $321,352 against the line at December 31, 2001. The Line of credit is collateralized by the land and improvements held for sale. The LOC requires monthly payments of accrued interest to be paid with the balance of the amount drawn due on December 21, 2002.
