NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
(Unaudited)
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
generally accepted accounting principles. 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, 1998. 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 nine month period ended
September 30, 1999 may not be indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.
B.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The General Partner and its affiliates have been actively
involved in managing the Partnership's operations. Compensation
earned for these services in the first nine months were as follows:
1999 1998
Mortgage Servicing Fee $ 5,250 $ 5,250
Accounting Fees $ 2,200 $ 2,100
C. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
During the three and nine month periods ended September 1999
and 1998, the Partnership had no components of other comprehensive
income. Accordingly, comprehensive income for each of the periods
was the same as net loss.

Item 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999.
The Partnership's primary business was to lend monies to Hickory
Hills, Ltd. On December 31, 1998, the Partnership began the
process of foreclosing on the debt to Hickory Hills, Ltd. after
the note matured and payment was not made. The General Partner
determined that the value of the underlying collateral could not
result in full payment of the principal and accrued interest. The
Financial Statements included herein, as of December 31, 1998,
reflect the transfer of property to the Lender. Foreclosure
proceedings were completed on June 29, 1999.
The Registrant's primary business is now to develop and dispose of
certain undeveloped real properties located in Nashville, Davidson
County, Tennessee and Hendersonville, Sumner County, Tennessee (the
"Properties").
The general partner and its affiliates have been actively involved
in managing the Partnership, and the Property. Although
comparative amounts for property expenses are not included for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998, the General Partner has
compared the current Hickory Lenders, Ltd. property expenses to the
prior years Hickory Hills, Ltd. property expenses. Overall
operations of the Property have not fluctuated significantly from
the prior years.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY
At October 31, 1999, the Registrant had approximately $ 40,260 in
cash reserves. The Registrant also has $180,386 in escrowed funds
reserved for development. These funds are expected to be
sufficient to fund operations through 1999.
Year 2000
In 1998, 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 is addressing 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 has divided the Plan into five major phases-
assessment, planning, conversion, implementation and testing.
After completing the assessment and planning phases earlier year,
the Partnership is currently in the conversion, implementation, and
testing phases. Systems which have been determined not to be Year
2000 compliant are being either replaced or reprogrammed, and
thereafter tested for Year 2000 compliance. Contingency plans are
being developed in the event that any system is not compliant.
The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in
an interruption in, or failure of, certain normal business
activities or operations. Such failures could materially and
adversely affect the Partnership's operations, liquidity and
financial condition. Due to the general uncertainty inherent in
the Year 2000 problem, resulting in part from the uncertainty of
the Year 2000 readiness of third-party suppliers and customers, the
Partnership is unable to determine at this time whether the
consequences of Year 2000 failures will have a material impact on
the Partnership's operations, liquidity or financial condition.
