DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

Documents Incorporated by Reference in Part IV:

Prospectus of Registrant, dated April 1, 1987, as filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PART I

Item 1. Business

LMR Land Company, Ltd. ("Registrant"), is a Tennessee limited partnership organized on December 22, 1986, pursuant to the provisions of the Tennessee Uniform Limited Partnership Act, Chapter 2, Title 61, Tennessee Code Annotated, as amended. The General Partner of Registrant is 222 LMR, Ltd.

Registrant's primary business is to acquire, own, and hold for investment certain undeveloped real properties located in Macon, Georgia ("Property"). Registrant's investment objectives are preservation of investment capital and appreciation of the value of the Property due to development of the surrounding areas and the completion of improvements to the Property prior to resale.

Financial Information about Segment

The Registrant's activity, investment in land, lies within the domestic United States and is within one industry segment.  Therefore, financial data relating to the geographic area and industry segment is included in Item 6 - Selected Financial Data.

Narrative Description of Business

At December 31, 2001, the Registrant is holding for investment approximately 32 acres of land in Macon, Georgia (the "Property). The property is located at the intersection of Eisenhower Crossings Parkway and Log Cabin Road, southwest of downtown Macon. The property is zoned for retail, service center and service warehouse type uses. Municipal gas, electricity, water, and sewer serve the property. After the sale of 81 acres in 2000, road improvements were made giving the property greater road frontage. The site sold in 2000 has been developed into two large retail strip centers, facing each other on opposite sides of Eisenhower Crossings Parkway. Retail tenants include Target and Kroger. The remaining land for sale by the Registrant is directly across the street from the new strip centers. Although there is some competition for retail sites in the area, competitor sites are smaller and not as close to the new development.

The Registrant has no employees. Property management services are being provided under a contractual agreement with Landmark Realty Services Corporation, an affiliate of the General Partner.

Item 2. Properties

As of December 31, 2001, the Registrant owned approximately 32 acres of undeveloped land. For further information concerning the Property, reference is made to Item 1.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Registrant is not a party to, nor is any of Registrant's property the subject of, any material legal proceedings.

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

The security holders of Registrant did not vote on any matter during the fiscal year covered by this report.

 

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's 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. The Registrant commenced an offering to the public on April 1, 1987 of 7,500 Units of Limited Partnership Interests. The offering of $7,500,000 was fully subscribed and closed on June 8, 1987. As of February 28, 2002 there were 602 holders of record of the 7,500 Units of Limited Partnership Interests.

There were no distributions during the year ended December 31, 2001. During 2000, the Registrant distributed $900/unit to its limited partners for a total of $6,750,000. There are no material restrictions upon the Registrant's present or future ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of the Registrant's Limited Partnership Agreement.

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

Results of Operations

Sales

There were no sales of property during the year ended December 31, 2001. During 2000, the Registrant sold 81 acres of the Macon Property for $7.4 million. Of the sale proceeds, $6.75 million was distributed to the limited partners. The remaining proceeds were retained to meet operational needs of the Registrant.

During 1999, the Registrant sold the remaining 3 acres of the Lebanon Property. The proceeds were retained to meet the operational needs of the Registrant.

Analysis of Operations

There have been no significant fluctuations in the Registrant's operations except for the sales described above. Other Income represents a refund from the State of Tennessee for an overpayment of franchise and excise tax in the prior year.

Financial Condition

As of February 1, 2002 the Registrant had a cash balance of $381,087. The General Partner believes this cash balance is sufficient to meet the needs of the Registrant for the year 2002.

Critical Accounting Policies

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, land and improvements held for investment is reported at the lower of 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 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 Fair Value. Based upon management's analysis of the land and improvements held for investment, no impairment charge was necessary at December 31, 2001.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

At December 31, 2001, 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. Further, the Partnership does not have lines of credit, guarantees, or other commercial commitments. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership has restricted cash balances of $11,327 and $10,523, respectively, to be used to fund property improvements, consisting of utility work. This restricted cash secures a letter of credit in the same amount to ensure that the required developments are made. The Partnership may however 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, 2001, the Partnership had no borrowings from the General Partner. Transactions with the General Partner and affiliates are discussed in footnote 3 to the financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards


In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, 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. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. SFAS No. 144 requires companies to separately report discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been dis posed of (by sale abandonment or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less selling costs. The Partnership is required to adopt SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The Partnership has not anticipated that the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have a significant impact on its final condition or results of operation.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The Registrant has no market risk exposure as defined by Item 305 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The Financial Statements required by Item 8 are filed at the end of this Report.

Independent Auditors' Report

The Partners

LMR Land Company, Ltd.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of LMR Land Company, Ltd. (a limited partnership) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of operations, partners' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LMR Land Company, Ltd. at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with  accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2001 and 2000

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    1. Organization
      LMR Land Company, Ltd. (the Partnership) is a Tennessee Limited Partnership organized on December 22, 1986, to acquire, own, and hold for investment certain undeveloped land located in Lebanon, Tennessee; and Macon, Georgia. The General Partner is 222 LMR, Ltd. The general partner of the General Partner is 222 Partners, Inc. The Partnership prepares its financial statements and Federal income tax returns on the accrual method and includes only those assets, liabilities and results of operations, which relate to the business of the Partnership.
    2. Estimates
      Management of the partnership has made certain estimates and assumptions to prepare these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
    3. Cash
      Cash belonging to the Partnership is combined in an account with funds from other partnerships related to the General Partner.
    4. Land and Improvements Held For Investment
      Land and improvements held for investment are recorded at acquisition cost plus development costs. Insurance and property taxes are capitalized as carrying costs of the property during the development period. Insurance and property taxes are charged to expense once development of the property is substantially complete. The remaining acreage is approximately 32 acres at December 31, 2001 and 2000, which includes approximately 4 acres which are unsalable attributable to roads, right of ways, and landscaping.

      Land and improvements held for investment are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. If such assets are 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 of the assets less estimated costs to sell. If impaired, a loss is provided to reduce the carrying amount of the land and improvements held for investment to its estimated fair value. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the estimated fair value was determined through recovering the future discounted cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with the property. Based upon management's analysis of discounted future net cash flows, the Partnership's land and improvements held for investment are not impaired.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2001 and 2000

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
    1. Partnership Allocations
      Net profits, losses and distributions of cash flow of the  Partnership are allocated to the partners in accordance with  the Partnership agreement as follows:
      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 the 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) and unpaid preferred returns. Any remaining net profits are allocated to the limited partners until the taxable year in which cumulative distributions to the limited partners equal their adjusted capital contribution plus an unpaid preferred return. Net profits are then allocated to the general partner until the ratio of the general partner's capital accoun t balance to the capital account balances, in excess of adjusted capital contributions and unpaid preferred return, of all limited partners is 27.5% to 72.5%. Thereafter, profits are generally allocated 27.5% to the general partner and 72.5% to the limited partners. Net losses are allocated to the partners in proportion to their positive capital accounts. 

Partnership distributions are allocated to the limited partners in an amount equal to their preferred return (12% annual cumulative return on capital contributed) to the extent unpaid to date. Any remaining distributions are allocated 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 thereafter, 72.5% to the limited partners and 27.5% to the general partner. Cumulative unpaid preferred returns are $943,448 and $312,755 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

    1. 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 accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

    1. Income Recognition
      Income from sales of land held for investment 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.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2001 and 2000

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
    1. 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 2001, 2000, and 1999, the Partnership had no components of other comprehensive income. Accordingly, comprehensive (loss) income for each of the periods was the same as net (loss) income.
    1. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
      In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, 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. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. SFAS No. 144 requires companies to separately report discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been di sposed of (by sale abandonment or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less selling costs. The Partnership is required to adopt SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The Partnership anticipates that the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will not have a significant impact on its final condition or results of operation.
  1. Land and Improvements Held for Investment
    Land and improvements held for investment at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $730,045. The aggregate cost for Federal income tax purposes for the land held for investment was $730,045 at December 31, 2001 and 2000.

This restricted cash secures a letter of credit in the same amount to ensure that the required developments are made.
