PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1 - Financial Statements

         The unaudited financial statements of FMG Rita Ranch Limited
partnership (the "Partnership") at June 30, 1996 are attached hereto as 
Exhibit A.

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

         Background

                 The Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership.  The
Partnership was formed on January 30, 1987 by FMG Western Region Acquisitions,
Inc. (the "General Partner") and the initial limited partner, FM Initial, Inc.,
with an initial contribution of $25,000 by the General Partner.  The General
Partner is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Fidelity Mutual Life
Insurance Company (in Rehabilitation) ("Fidelity Mutual").  In accordance with
the Amended and Restated Limited partnership Agreement dated December 17, 1987
(the "Partnership Agreement"), FM Initial, Inc. withdrew from the partnership
upon admittance of new limited partners.  The Partnership was formed to acquire
and realize appreciation in a certain 118 acre parcel of undeveloped land near
Tucson, Arizona (the "Property") by holding it for investment and eventual
sale, although there is no assurance that this will be attained.

         Results of Operations

         The Partnership's revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 1996
consisted of interest income of $2 and partnership transfer fees of $25.
Expenses for the second quarter of 1996 consisted of general and administrative
costs of $1,875, management fees of $3,750, insurance of $34 and real estate
taxes of $2,604.

         The Partnership's revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 1996
consisted of interest income of $2 and partnership transfer fees of $75.
Expenses for the first quarter of 1996 consisted of general and administrative
costs of $1,430, management fees of $3,750, insurance of $35 and real estate
taxes of $2,604.

         The Partnership's revenues for fiscal year 1995 consisted of interest
income of $89 and partnership transfer fees of $25.  Expenses for 1995
consisted primarily of general and administrative costs of $7,051, management
fees of $15,000, insurance of $127 and real estate taxes of $10,415.

         The Partnership's revenues for fiscal year 1994 consisted of interest
income of $8 and partnership transfer fees of $250.  Expenses for 1994
consisted primarily of general and administrative costs of $4,481, insurance of
$1,801 and real estate taxes of $13,597.




                                       2
   3
         The current real estate forecast for Rita Ranch is that there will
continue to be an absorption of vacant land in other Tucson submarkets, and
improvements in the immediate area, in particular the residential sector which
is one of the fastest growing in Tucson, Arizona.  Unfortunately, the
commercial and industrial market growth has been limited.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Partnership has no cash reserve remaining at June 30, 1996.  As
shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Partnership has incurred
substantial operating losses in each of the past three years.  Such losses will
continue until the Partnership begins to sell land parcels.  In the partnership
agreement, the General Partner has committed to contribute up to $600,000 to
the capital of the Partnership as the need for additional working capital
arises.  Cumulative amounts funded by the General Partner amounted to $258,198
at June 30, 1996.  Realization of the partnership's assets is dependent upon
the continued funding of operating deficits by the General Partner and its
affiliate.  There can be no assurance, however, that the General Partner or its
affiliate will continue to fund operating deficits.

         The weak conditions in both the real estate and industrial sectors of
Tucson are responsible for nearly halting sales of undeveloped industrial land
for parcels greater than 25 acres.  These unfavorable conditions have
contributed to the substantial decrease in the value of the Partnership's land.

         While growth in the Rita Ranch Planned Community is encouraging, we
continue to believe that the property should be held until the demand for
industrial land and corresponding values rebound.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

         The Partnership is not a direct party to, nor is the Partnership's
property directly the subject of, any material legal proceedings.  However, on
November 6, 1992, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania issued an order
placing The Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Fidelity Mutual"), the
indirect parent of the General Partner of the Partnership, into rehabilitation
under the control and authority of the Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner
pursuant to the provisions of the Pennsylvania Insurance Department Act, 40
P.S. Section 221.1 et seq.  The Partnership is not a direct party to the order,
but ownership of the stock of the General Partner is vested in the Insurance
Commissioner pursuant to the Order.

Item 2 - Changes in Securities

         There was no change in the partnership's securities during the second
quarter of 1996.


Item 3 - Defaults Upon Senior Securities

         There was no default in the payment of principal, interest, a sinking
or purchase fund installment or any other default with respect to any
indebtedness of the Partnership.  The Partnership has issued no preferred
stock; accordingly, there has been no arrearages or delinquencies with respect
to any such preferred stock.


Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

         No matters were submitted to the Partners for a vote during the second
quarter of 1996.
