DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
Documents Incorporated by Reference in Part IV:
Prospectus of Registrant, dated April 22, 1986, as filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
PART I
Item 1. Business
General Development of Business
Moore's Lane Properties, Ltd. ("Registrant"), is a Tennessee limited partnership organized in December 1985, pursuant to the provisions of the Tennessee Uniform Limited Partnership Act, Chapter 2, Title 61, Tennessee Code Annotated, as amended. The General Partners of Registrant is 222 Partners, Inc. The Partnership is a venturer in Moore's Lane Venture Associates (the "Joint Venture") and has controlling interest in this Joint Venture.
Registrant's primary objective, as a consolidated entity with the Joint Venture, is to sell certain undeveloped real property located in Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee (the "Property") and distribute to the limited partners, a return of capital from the net proceeds of the sales.
Financial Information about Industry Segments
The Registrant's activity, sale of land, 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
As of December 31, 2002, the Joint Venture owned approximately 7 saleable acres of partially developed land in Franklin, Tennessee. The Property is held for sale. The Property is included in the 1,150-acre Cool Springs Corporate and Retail Center.
The development of the Property is complete. This work included construction of several major roads and interchanges, grading and utility installation.
Competition:
The Cool Springs Corporate and Retail Center is in various stages of development and is being developed for retail, office and mixed commercial uses similar to those considered suitable for the Property. Cool Springs Real Estate Associates, LP ("CSREA") owns much of the undeveloped land in the immediate vicinity of the Property. CSREA is an institutional real estate investor. Their asking prices are currently comparable to the Registrant's. There are several other competitive retail sites at the I-65 and Moore's Lane Boulevard intersection. However, the General Partner feels that the market can ultimately absorb all these sites and that the Registrant's low cost in its land will allow it to compete effectively.
The Registrant has no employees. 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, 2002, the Joint Venture of which the Registrant has a controlling interest owned 7 acres of land in Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee. The Property is included in the Cool Springs Retail and Corporate Center. The Property is located along Mallory Lane, west and south of the Cool Springs Galleria Mall.
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 matters 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 22, 1986 of 7,500 Units of limited partnership interests. The offering of $7,500,000 was fully subscribed and closed on May 30, 1986. As of February 28, 2002, there were 558 holders of record of 7,500 Units of limited partnership interests.
There are no material restrictions upon Registrant's present or future ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of Registrant's Limited Partnership Agreement.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Sales
There were no sales in 2002 and 2001. During 2000, there were two sales totaling 3.3 acres for over $1.4 million. The sale proceeds were used to make a $1.2 million cash distribution to the partners with the remaining held for operating expenses.
Operations
Other than the sales activity noted above, operations of the Registrant are comparable during 2002, 2001, and 2000, except for the following. The decrease in interest income during the years is due to lower interest rates and lower cash balances held during the year, especially in the restricted cash-escrow accounts. Property taxes increased in 2002 due to increased property valuations. Property taxes decreased in 2001 due to land sales. The increase in land maintenance fees in 2001 relates to necessary repairs to roadwork. Effective January 1, 2000, the state of Tennessee began assessing franchise and excise tax on limited partnerships. Franchise tax is based on the greater of net worth or real and tangible property and is taxed at a rate of 1/4 of 1%. Excise tax is based on reported earnings before excise tax. The excise tax rate is 6%. Because the Registrant had a net loss for 2002 and 2001, no excise tax is recorded in those years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At February 28, 2003, the Registrant had $151,864 in cash to meet its 2003 operating expenses. The General Partner believes that this cash balance is sufficient to meet the operational needs of the Registrant for the year 2003.
Critical Accounting Policies
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, 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). 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 estimated 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 estimated Fair Value. Based upon management's analysis of the Partnership's land and improvements held for sale, no impairment charge was necessary at December 31, 2002.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
At December 31, 2002, 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, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership has restricted cash balances of $32,252 and $58,252, respectively, to be used to fund property improvements, consisting of road and utility work, and property taxes. The restricted cash secures a letter of credit in the same amount to ensure that the required developments were made. The Partnership may 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, 2002, the Partnership had no borrowings from the General Partner. Transactions with the General Partner and affiliates are discussed in footnote 4 to the financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 requires the Partnership to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the assets. The Partnership also records a corresponding asset that is depreciated over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation will be adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. The Partnership is required to adopt SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 is not expected to have a material effe ct on the Partnership's financial statements.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 amends existing guidance on reporting gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt to prohibit the classification of the gain or loss as extraordinary, as the use of such extinguishments have become part of the risk management strategy of many companies. SFAS No. 145 also amends SFAS No. 13 to require sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The provisions of the Statement related to the rescission of Statement No. 4 is applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Earlier application of these provisions is encouraged. The provisions of the Statement related to Statement No. 13 were effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. Th e adoption of SFAS No. 145 is not expected to have a material effect on the Partnership's financial statements.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity. The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 is not expected to have a material effect on the Partnership's financial statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. The Interpretation also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and are not expected to have a material effect on the Partnership's financial statements. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2002.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. The Interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interests in variable interest entities obtained after January 31, 2003. The application of this Interpretation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. The Interpretation requires certain disclosures in financial statements issued after January 31, 2003 if it is reasonably possible that the Company will consolidate or disclose information about variable interest entities when the Interpretation becomes effective.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The Partners
Moore's Lane Properties, Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Moore's Lane Properties, Ltd. (a limited partnership) and subsidiary as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Moore's Lane Properties, Ltd. and subsidiary at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2002 and 2001
Cash belonging to the Partnership is combined in an account with Funds from other Partnerships related to the General Partner.
Land and improvements held for sale is recorded at cost and include approximately 7 acres at December 31, 2002 and 2001. Land costs include amounts to acquire and hold land, including interest and property taxes during the development period. Costs to hold land, including interest , insurance and property taxes were charged to expense in 2002, 2001, and 2000 since development was substantially complete. Land improvement costs include deveopment costs expended subsequent to the acquisition of the tract.
Effective January 1, 2002 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Number 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS No. 144") SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2002 and 2001
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. 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). 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 estimated 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 estimated Fair Value.
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.
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. Beginning in 2000, the partnership pays state taxes on earnings from Tennessee operations.
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.
The Partnership's income tax expense relates to state taxes for income from continuing operations in Tennessee.

December 31, 2002 and 2001
Thereafter, profits are generally allocated 31% to the General Partner and 69% to the limited partners. Net losses are allocated 69% to the limited partners and 31% to the General Partner.
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, 69% to the limited partners and 31% to the General Partner.
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, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the Partnership had no components of other comprehensive (loss) income. Accordingly, comprehensive (loss) income for each of the years was the same as net (loss) income.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 requires the Partnership to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the assets. The Partnership also records a corresponding asset that is depreciated over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation will be adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. The Partnership is required to adopt SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 is not expected to have a material effect on the Partnership's financial statements.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 amends existing guidance on reporting gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt to prohibit the classification of the gain or loss as extraordinary, as the use of such extinguishments have become part of the risk management strategy of many companies. SFAS No. 145 also amends SFAS No. 13 to require sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The provisions of the Statement related to the rescission of Statement No. 4 is applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Earlier application of these provisions is encouraged. The provisions of the Statement related to Statement No. 13 were effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. Th e adoption of SFAS No. 145 is not expected to have a material effect on the Partnership's financial statements.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity. The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 is not expected to have a material effect on the Partnership's financial statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. The Interpretation also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and are not expected to have a material effect on the Partnership's financial statements. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. P>
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. The Interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interests in variable interest entities obtained after January 31, 2003. The application of this Interpretation is not expected to have a material effect on the Partnership's financial statements. The Interpretation requires certain disclosures in financial statements issued after January 31, 2003 if it is reasonably possible that the Partnership will consolidate or disclose information about variable interest entities when the Interpretation becomes effective.
