Note 2 - Organization of the Partnership
The Partnership is a California Limited Partnership formed on November 15, 1991. TMP Properties (A California General Partnership) and TMP Investments, Inc. (A California Corporation) are the general partners ("General Partners"). The partners of TMP Properties are William O. Passo, Anthony W. Thompson and Scott E. McDaniel. William O. Passo and Anthony W. Thompson were the shareholders of TMP Investments, Inc. until October 1, 1995, when they sold their shares to TMP Group, Inc. and then became the shareholders of TMP Group, Inc.
The Partnership was formed principally to make short-term loans to unaffiliated parties secured by first trust deeds on unimproved properties, primarily in the Inland Empire area of Southern California and in some instances, in other areas of Southern California, and to provide cash distributions to the limited partners, primarily from interest earned on the mortgage loans. The Partnership is not a mutual fund or any other type of Investment Company within the meaning of, and is not subject to regulations under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Since its formation, the Partnership had received and accepted subscriptions of 15,715 units, representing total subscription proceeds in the amount of $15,715,000. All proceeds were committed to mortgage loan investments made by the Partnership and to working capital reserves. During 1992, the Partnership funded five mortgage loans, four loans were funded in 1993 and three loans were funded in 1994 for a total of twelve loans.
The General Partners manage and control the affairs of the Partnership, including final approval of all loans and investments, and have ultimate authority for matters affecting the interests of the Partnership. All organization and offering expenses of the Partnership were paid by TMP Realty, an affiliate of the general partners, in exchange for loan fees (or points) on each mortgage loan.
As a consequence of adverse changes in market conditions and other economic and business factors, nine of the twelve loans went into default. The Partnership foreclosed on the properties secured by the defaulted loans and is in the process of developing and/or selling these properties.
The partnership agreement provides for two types of investments: Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) and others. The IRA minimum purchase requirement was $2,000 and all others were a minimum purchase requirement of $5,000. The maximum liability of the limited partners is the amount of their capital contribution.
Note 3 - Partners' Contributions
The Partnership raised capital through a public offering of units at $1,000 per unit. The minimum offering size was 1,000 units or $1,000,000. The maximum offering size was 20,000 units or $20,000,000. As of April 21, 1994, 15,715 units were sold for total capital contributions of $15,715,000 and the offering was closed.

Note 4 - Allocation of Profits and Losses and Cash Distributions
Profit, losses, and cash distributions are allocated ninety-nine percent to the limited partners and one percent to the general partners until the limited partners have received an amount equal to their capital contributions plus a cumulative, non-compounded return of eight percent per annum based on their adjusted capital account balances, at which time, remaining profits, losses and cash distributions are allocated seventy-six percent to the limited partners and twenty-four percent to the General Partners. Distributions of cash from operations, if any, are made monthly within 30 days after the end of the month.
On May 16, 2002 distributions of approximately $13,870 and $1,386,850 were made to the General Partners and limited partners, respectively, as a return of capital. On July 5, 2001 distributions of approximately $5,000 and $500,000 were made to the General Partners and limited partners, respectively, as a return of capital.
Note 5 - Related Party Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2001, TMP Homes, managing member of Remington, paid $7,500 of bank loan fees on behalf of Remington and advanced Remington $22,500 to pay accounts payables. As of December 31, 2001 these funds have been paid back to TMP Homes.
A distribution to the Partnership by Remington was received totaling $1,000,000 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 of which a 3% participation fee of $30,000 was paid to PacWest, a related party, in accordance with the Management Agreement. In addition, based on the sale of the Sun City property on April 16, 2002 for $2,025,000 PacWest, a related party is due a 13% participation fee in accordance with the Management Agreement. However, based on the issuance of a deed of trust to the Partnership (see Note 10) only a portion ($39,498) of the total participation fee ($191,831) was paid during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. The remaining fee of $152,333 is recorded as Accounts Payable & Other in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2002.
See Note 2 regarding information on management of the Partnership during 2002.
Note 6 - Agreements with PacWest
In April 1998, the General Partners entered into the Financing Agreement with PacWest Inland Empire, LLC (“PacWest”), whereby PacWest paid the General Partners and ten other related partnerships (“the TMP Land Partnerships”) a total of $300,000 and agreed to pay up to an additional $300,000 for any deficit capital accounts for these 11 partnerships in exchange for the rights to the general partners’ distributions; referred to as a “distribution fee” as defined by the Financing Agreement.

Note 6 - Agreements with PacWest (continued)
In addition, PacWest agreed to loan and/or secure a loan for the Partnership and the TMP Land Partnerships in the amount of $2,500,000. Loan proceeds will be allocated among the TMP Land Partnerships, based on partnership needs, from recommendations made by PacWest, and under the approval and/or direction of the General Partners. A portion of these funds will be loaned to the Partnership at 12% simple interest beginning April 1, 1998. The borrowings are secured by the Partnership’s properties, and funds will be loaned, as needed, in the opinion of the General Partners. These funds are not to exceed 50% of the 1997 appraised value of the properties, and will primarily be used to pay for on-going property maintenance, pay down existing debt, accrued property taxes and appropriate entitlement costs.
PacWest, at their option, can make additional advances with the agreement of the General Partners; however, the aggregate amount of cash loaned to the TMP Land Partnerships is limited to a maximum of $2,500,000. As of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the TMP Land Partnerships owe PacWest approximately $2,781,800 and $3,637,000 including advances & interest.
In April 1998, PacWest entered into a management, administrative and consulting agreement (the Management Agreement) with the General Partners to provide the Partnership with overall management, administrative and consulting services. Effective August 1, 2001, the Partnership entered into the First Amendment to the Management Agreement (“First Amendment”). The purpose of the First Amendment is to clarify and define certain language and the terms of the provisions of the Management Agreement. The Management Agreement, in its entirety, remains in effect apart from specific items discussed in the First Amendment.
Certain items disclosed in the First Amendment include 1) Revision of the “Asset Administration Fee” schedule and its reduction upon the sale of any property, 2) “Participation Fee” wording is altered to read “Manager Profit Participation” and its calculation is defined, 3) the maximum amount of the PacWest loan to any Partnership shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the fair market value of all real properties owned by the Partnership, and the maximum amount of the PacWest loan secured against each specific parcel shall not exceed a loan-to-value ratio of fifty percent of the fair market value of that parcel, 4) The maximum total PacWest loan amount shall be $2,500,000 allocated between the Partnerships and each borrowing Partnership shall execute a Promissory Note (as attached to the First Amendment) and a Trust Deed (as attached to the First Amendment). PacWest and the TMP Land Partnerships shall be entitled to enter into a separate written agreement to provide for a short term gap loan to cover emergency shortfalls, and 5) If the Partnerships need funds in excess of the $2,500,000, PacWest shall be entitled to obtain third party loans at market interest, secured against the real property of each Partnership to whom such loan(s) is made. No such loan(s) shall be made without the written consent of the General Partners.
PacWest currently contracts with third party service providers to perform certain of the financial, accounting, and investor relations' services for the Partnership.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis provides information that the Partnership’s management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Partnership’s results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes, which appear elsewhere in this report.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by that section. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements in this report. Additionally, statements concerning future matters such as the features, benefits and advantages of the Partnership’s property regarding matters that are not historical are forward-looking statements. The Partnership’s actual future results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Partnership assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements.
Readers are urged to review and consider carefully the various disclosures made by the Partnership in this report, which attempts to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect the Partnership's business, financial condition and results of operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.
The Partnership’s management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on the Partnership’s results of operations.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, $6,914 and $16,764, respectively, of interest income was earned. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 $11,050 of other income was earned primarily from the $10,000 relating to RSJ and San Jacinto Equities Agreement discussed below. The Partnership sold a property for $2,025,000 (see Note 10) and Remington had house sales to various third parties totaling $5,296,795 and Lot Sales to Centex of $3,843,980 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002.
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, $2,374 and $1,962, respectively, of interest income was earned. Remington had no house sales to various third parties or Lot Sales to Centex during the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, however Remington recorded reimbursable cost of sales relating to the Centex Lot Sales of approximately $225,706. This income was recognized by Remington based on previously recorded cost of sales. Centex has agreed to reimburse Remington for these costs and therefore a $225,706 receivable from Centex is recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2002.

September 30, 2002
As of February 2002, RSJ entered into an Agreement with San Jacinto Equities, LLC (“SJE”) whereby SJE will pay RSJ a total of $50,000 to cooperate with SJE in reinstating the expired tentative tract maps and to waive its right of Redemption to the Property following the sale of the Property at foreclosure. Per the Agreement, $10,000 is to be paid to RSJ upon execution of the Agreement and an additional $40,000 is to be paid to RSJ after two of the six tentative tract maps have been reinstated. If the maps have not been reinstated within one year, SJE has the right to cancel the agreement. If the agreement is cancelled after one year SJE has no obligation to pay the $40,000 to RSJ. As of September 30, 2002, RSJ has received $10,000 from SJE and has recorded the amount as Other Income during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002.
Total expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 compared with the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, increased by approximately $221,517 due primarily to an increase in Participation Fees of $221,831. Two participation fees were paid during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 to PacWest. A distribution to the Partnership by Remington was received totaling $1,000,000 during the six month period ended September 30, 2002 of which a 3% participation fee of $30,000 was paid to PacWest in accordance with the Management Agreement. In addition, based on the sale of the Sun City property on April 16, 2002 for $2,025,000 PacWest is due a 13% participation fee in accordance with the Management Agreement. However, based on the issuance of a deed of trust to the Partnership (see Note 10) only a portion ($39,498) of the total participation fee ($191,831) was paid during the period ended September 30, 2002. The remaining fee will be paid to PacWest no later than October 16, 2003 when the note receivable is to be paid in full, including interest. The remaining fee of $152,333 is recorded as Accounts Payable & Other in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2002. Other expenses increased by approximately $6,000, which includes certain carrying costs, related to the PR Equities, Ltd. properties in San Jacinto, CA, which are expensed as incurred in order to bring the stated value of the property to fair market value. These expenses are related to property services incurred to prepare the property for future sale. This property was sold during the three month period ended March 31, 2002. Accounting and Financial Reporting expenses increased by $12,246. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $17,925 in Outside Professional Services.
Total expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 compared with the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, increased by $134,284 due primarily to an increase in Participation Fees of $152,333. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in Outside Professional Services of $17,876.
