NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Six months ended June 30, 2003 AND 2002

(Unaudited)

A. 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 investment objectives are preservation of capital and short-term liquidation of the Property.

 

A. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. In the opinion of management such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Partnership's financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.

B. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

C. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 the Partnership had no components of other comprehensive loss.  Accordingly, comprehensive loss for each of the periods was the same as net loss.

D. LIQUIDITY

The Partnership has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net working capital deficiency at June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2003, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $39,475 and liabilities to non-affiliated entities of $735,040. The cash is insufficient to fund ongoing operations. The Partnership owns assets with a net book value of $2,990,643 and has liabilities of $748,626. If funds are not sufficient to fund operations in 2003, the General Partner will defer the collection of fees for certain affiliated expenses and will provide advances until cash becomes available.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Six months ended June 30, 2003 AND 2002

(Unaudited)

E. IMPAIRMENT

Effective January 1, 2002 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 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. Land and improvements held for sale are reported at the lower of the 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 excee ds the estimated 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 estimated Fair Value. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have an impact on the Partnership's financial condition or results of operations.

F. NOTE PAYABLE


On December 21, 2001, 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% (4.25% at December 31, 2002). The Partnership had drawn $600,000 against the line at December 31, 2002. The Line of credit is collateralized by the land and improvements held for sale. The loan was originally due on December 21, 2002. However, the credit agreement was amended to (1) extend the maturity date to March 3, 2003, (2) increase the interest rate on amounts due under the credit agreement to the bank's prime rate + 0.50% (4.75% at December 31, 2002 and 4.5% at June 30, 2003) effective January 31, 2003, and (3) change the credit agreement from a revolving line of credit to a non-revolving line of credit with a maximum principal amount of $600,000 effective January 31, 2003. All principal and interest outstanding under the credit agreement were due in a single payment on March 3, 2003. On March 25, 2003, the credit agreement was further ame nded to convert the non-revolving line of credit to a term loan with the final payment due March 25, 2004. The aggregate maturities of long-term debt for each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2002 are $20,764 in 2003, $579,236 in 2004, and $0 thereafter.

 

 

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2003.

The Registrant had no land sales during the first six-month period of 2003 or 2002. Operating expenses of the Registrant are comparable with prior quarters, except for other income in 2003 which is sale proceeds of $71,000 from fill dirt sold from the property and the decrease in legal and accounting fees due to the change in principal accountants.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

As of July 31, 2003 the Registrant had $30,147 in cash.  This balance is not sufficient to meet the operating needs of the Registrant. The Partnership has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net working capital deficiency at June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2003, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $39,475, liabilities to non-affiliated entities of $735,042. The cash is insufficient to fund ongoing operations. The Partnership owns assets of $3,172,649 and has liabilities of $748,628. If funds are not sufficient to fund operations in 2003, the General Partner will defer the collection of fees for certain affiliated expenses and will provide advances until cash becomes available

Critical Accounting Policies

Land and improvements held for sale are reported at the lower of the 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 estimated 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 estimated Fair Value.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

At June 30, 2003, 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 term loan of $593,188 at a bank at June 30, 2003. Interest and principal payments are made monthy and the interest rate is at the prime rate +. 5% (4.5% at June 30, 2003). The loan is due on March 25, 2004. At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Partnership has cash balances of $139,200 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 June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Partnership h ad no borrowings from the General Partner. Transactions with the General Partner and affiliates are discussed in footnote B to the financial statements.

 

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 4. DISCLOSURE CONTROL AND PROCEDURES

As of July 31, 2003, under the supervision and with the participation of the Partnership's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 31, 2003. There were no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in the other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation.

Item 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (continued)

(b)

Form 8-K filed on April 17, 2003 states a change in the Registrant's accounting firm. In a letter dated April 4 2003 and received by the Registrant on April 10, 2003, KPMG LLP ("KPMG") declined to stand for re-election as independent public accountants for the Registrant.

The audit reports issued by KPMG on the financial statements of the Registrant as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified, as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2003 through April 4 2003, there have been no disagreements between the Registrant and KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter thereof in its report on the Registrant's consolidated financial statements for such periods.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through April 4 2003, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

On April 17, 2003, the Partnership retained the services Crowe Chizek and Company LLC as the Partnership's auditors for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decision to change accounting firms was recommended and approved by the Board of Directors of 222 Partners, Inc., general partner of 222 LMR, Ltd., General Partner of LMR Land Company, Ltd. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and through April 17, 2003, the Registrant has not consulted Crowe Chizek and Company LLC regarding any matters described in, and required to be disclosed pursuant to, Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
