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 partner is 222 Partners, Inc.

The Registrant's primary business is to develop and sell certain undeveloped real estate in Memphis, Tennessee (the "Property"). The Registrant's investment objectives are preservation of capital and 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

At December 31, 2009, the Registrant was holding approximately 175 acres of partially developed land as discussed in Item 2.

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, though the real estate market in Memphis is depressed at this time.

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 1A. Risk Factors

Not applicable.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

There are no unresolved staff commments as of March 31, 2010.

Item 2. Property

The Property consists of approximately 175 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. (Removed and Reserved)

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, 2010, there were 462 holders of record of the Units of Limited Partnership Interests.

There were no distributions made in 2009, or 2008. 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 6. Selected Financial Data

Not applicable.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

The results of operations for the Registrant vary over the past two years due only to a $643,111 refund of property taxes received from the City of Memphis and Shelby county. These property tax assessments had been paid in protest and the Registrant had been contesting these tax valuations for many years. In 2008, property values were reassessed and management revised its accrual for property tax expense based on the new assessments. The adjustment resulted in negative property tax expense of $24,905 for 2008. The adjustment resulted in negative property tax expense of $24,905 for 2008. Other operating expenses are comparable to 2009 except for the increase in legal and accounting fees which includes property tax consulting fees related to the refunds of property tax. The decline in interest income in 2009 over prior years is due to lower market rates.

The General Partner has assessed the future liquidity needs of the Registrant and have taken necessary measures to reduce the operating cash needs. Due to the recent lack of land sales and limited other cash sources, many of the administrative costs of the Registrant have been placed on hold until the cash position of the Registrant improves. The General Partner believes the real estate market in Memphis, Tennessee may rebound in the future, but until sales occur, the services of third party independent auditors to review and opine on the financial statements included in this Form 10-K have been postponed. These services along with most all other administrative services have been reduced as possible. The General Partner has attempted to comply with security regulations within these constraints.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

At December 31, 2009, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $156,558 and liabilities to non-affiliated entities of $523,589. At December 31, 2009, the Partnership owned assets with a carrying value of $2,126,786 and has liabilities of $1,076,464. Because operating funds are not expected to be sufficient in 2010, the General Partner will defer the collection of fees for certain affiliated expenses, reduce administrative and other expenses as much as possible and may provide advances until cash becomes available.

The term loan from a bank totaling $400,000 at December 31, 2009 was renewed on June 30, 2009 extending the maturity to June 30, 2011. Terms of the note agreement are interest at a rate of prime +1% (5% at March 30, 2010, which is the floor) and interest only payments monthly.

Critical Accounting Policies

Land and improvements held for sale are reported at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell (Fair Value). To determine the Fair Value at December 31, 2008, management relied on the value in the appraisal prepared by an independant third party professional. To determine the Fair Value at December 31, 2009, management relied on the prior appraisal. No impairment charge was deemed necessary during 2008 or 2009. 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.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

At December 31, 2009, the Partnership has no capital lease obligations, operating leases, or unconditional purchase obligations. The Partnership does not enter into derivative transactions. The term loan from a bank totaling $400,000 at December 31, 2009 was renewed on June 30, 2009 extending the maturity to June 30, 2011. The terms of the note agreement are interest at a rate of prime +1% (5% at March 16, 2010, which is the floor) and interest only payments. Steven D. Ezell and Michael A. Hartley, officers of the General Partner of 222 Raines, Ltd., have personally guaranteed the note. The aggregate maturities of long-term debt subsequent to December 31, 2009 are $0 in 2010.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership had a cash balance of $152,242, 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, 2009, the Partnership had borrowings from the General Partner totaling $552,875. These loans bear interest at a rate of 9% at December 31, 2009. Transactions with the General Partner and affiliates are discussed in Note 2 to the unaudited financial statements.

Effect of Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Partnership is currently in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities to fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The new standard is effective for the Partnership on January 1, 2008. The Partnership did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards:

In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09 "Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements" ("Update 2010-09"). Update 2010-09 amends Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 855-10-50-1 to make clear that all entities, other than SEC filers, must disclose (i) the date through, which subsequent events have been evaluated and (ii) whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued or available to be issued. However, the SEC filer exemption does not relieve management from its responsibility to evaluate subsequent events through the date on which financial statements are issued. The Partnership adopted these requirements, and it did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or related disclosures.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-01, "Topic 105 Generally Acceptable Accounting Principles Amendments Based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("Update 2009-01"). Update 2009-01 establishes the FASB ASC as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The ASC supersedes all existing non-Securities and Exchange Commission accounting and reporting standards. With this standard, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve only to update the ASC. The ASC is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All required references to non-SEC accounting standards have been modified by the Partnership. The Partnership adopted the requirements of Update 2009-01 for its financial statements on September 30, 2009, and it did not have a material impact on its financial statement disclosures.

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855-10, "Subsequent Events" ("ASC 855-10"). ASC 855-10 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The provisions require management of a reporting entity to evaluate events or transactions that may occur after the balance sheet date for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements and provides guidance for disclosures that an entity should make about those events. ASC 855-10 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. The Partnership adopted the requirements of this standard on June 30, 2009, and it did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations or related disclosures. The adoption of these provisions does not change the Partnership's current practices with respect to evaluating, recording and disclosing subsequent events.

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 820-10-65-4, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly" ("ASC 820-10-65-4"). ASC 820-10-65-4 applies to all fair value measurements and provides additional clarification on estimating fair value when the market activity for an asset has declined significantly. ASC 820-10-65-4 also require an entity to disclose a change in valuation technique and related inputs to the valuation calculation and to quantify its effects, if practicable. ASC 820-10-65-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Partnership adopted the requirements of ASC 820-10-65-4 on April 1, 2009, and its adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (includeing its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on our present or future financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Raines Lenders, L.P. (the Partnership) is a Delaware limited partnership organized on December 16, 1988. The General Partner is 222 Raines, Ltd., whose general partners are Steven D. Ezell, Michael A. Hartley and 222 Partners, Inc. The Registrant's primary business is to develop and sell certain undeveloped real estate in Memphis, Tennessee. The Partnership prepares unaudited financial statements and federal income tax returns on the accrual method and includes only those assets, liabilities and results of operations that relate to the business of the Partnership.

Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited financial statements requires management of the Partnership to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of land and improvements held for sale. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

Cash belonging to the Partnership is combined in an account with funds from other partnerships related to the General Partner.

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. The partnership pays state taxes on earnings from Tennessee operations when applicable.

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.

(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Unaudited financial statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Partnership Allocations(continued)

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 $10,347,759 and $9,672,759 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

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, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership had no components of other comprehensive (loss)/income. Accordingly, comprehensive (loss)/income for each of the years was the same as net income(loss).

Land and Improvements Held for Sale

At December 31, 2009, land and improvements held for sale included approximately 175 acres of partially developed land on Raines Road in Memphis, Tennessee, adjacent to the Memphis International Airport. Long-lived assets are 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).

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.

Restricted Cash

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership had a cash balance of $152,242 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.

Land and Improvements Held for Sale

Land and improvements held for sale at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $1,817,986. The Partnership held approximately 175 acres at December 31, 2009 and 2008. The aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes of land and improvements held for sale was $ 4,358,929 at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Management Plans

The Partnership has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net working capital deficiency at December 31, 2009 that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2009, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $156,558 and liabilities to non-affiliated entities of $523,589. At December 31, 2009, the Partnership owned assets with a carrying value of $2,126,786 and has liabilities of $1,076,464. If funds are not sufficient in 2010, the General Partner may defer the collection of fees for certain affiliated expenses, reduce administrative and all other costs, including suspension of the outside audit review and may provide advances until cash becomes available.

Note Payable

On December 31, 2009, the Partnership held a term loan to a bank of $400,000 which bears interest at prime rate + 1% with a floor of 5% and a ceiling of 21.0% (5% at March 31, 2010). The land and improvements held for sale serve as collateral for the loan. The officers of the general partner of 222 Raines, Ltd., the Registrant's General Partner, have personally guaranteed the note. The term loan from the bank was renewed on June 30, 2009 extending the maturity to June 30, 2011. The terms of the note agreement include interest only payments.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures.

Due to funding constraints, the General Partner has elected to defer the engagement of outside auditors at this time. Management will attempt to comply with financial disclosures within these constraints.

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered in this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, who that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The plan of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer to strengthen the controls and procedures over financial reporting is to monitor changes and modifications in the regulations and guidelines that impact the reporting obligations of the Registrant and respond accordingly.

(b) Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Management of the Registrant is also responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Registrant's internal controls over financial reporting are intended to be designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of unaudited financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Registrant's internal controls over financial reporting are expected to include those policies and procedures that management believes are necessary that:

(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Registrant;

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of unaudited financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Registrant; and

(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Registrant's assets that could have a material effect on the unaudited financial statements.

In evaluating internal controls, management considered the amount of Raines Lenders's financial activities and resources. Raines Lenders has for the past several years, used the services of Landmark Realty Services's accounting department to assist in completing the financial reporting process, but ultimately the principal executive officer and principal financial officer are responsible not only for controls, but also for all other aspects of general ledger, disbursements and receipts, and financial statement preparation. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. Management has concluded that the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Registrant's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Registrant's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Registrant to provide only management's report on internal control in this Annual Report.

There were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that occurred during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect these internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 9(b). Other Information

None

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

Because the Registrant's units of Limited Partnership are not traded, the General Partner acts as the audit committee. The General Partner pre-approves all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors prior to the engagement of the independent auditors with respect to such services. Due to a lack of financial liquidity, the General Partner declined the annual audit services for the year ending December 31, 2009.
