PART I
Item 1. Business
Nashville Land Fund, Ltd. ("Registrant"), is a Tennessee
limited partnership organized on March 26, 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 Partners, Inc.
Registrant's primary business is to own and hold for
investment undeveloped real properties located in Goodlettsville,
Sumner County and Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee (the
"Property"). Registrant's investment objectives are preservation
of investment capital and appreciation of the value of the Property
due to development of the immediately surrounding areas and the
growth of the communities generally.
Financial Information About Industry Segments
The Registrant's activity, investment in 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
The Registrant is holding for investment approximately 32
sellable acres of land in various stages of development in
Goodlettsville, Sumner County and Nashville, Davidson County,
Tennessee. These properties will be referred to respectively as
North Creek Business Park Property and Larchwood Property in the
remainder of this report.
The North Creek Business Park Property is approximately
21 acres of land. It is cleared, graded and improved with roads
and utilities. The North Creek Business Park Property is located
in the incorporated City of Goodlettsville, approximately 12 miles
north of downtown Nashville, and is zoned Commercial PUD. It is
intended for office users.
An affiliate of the General Partner, North Creek
Associates, Ltd., owns land in the immediate vicinity of North
Creek Business Park. North Creek Associates, Ltd.'s land is
intended primarily for retail and apartment use. The retail site,
called North Creek Commons, does not directly compete with the
Registrant due to their different uses.
The Larchwood Property is approximately 11 acres located
in Nashville, Davidson County. It is subdivided into 4 tracts,
which are cleared and graded. One of the four tracts is zoned for
residential use, and all remaining acreage is zoned Commercial PUD.
<PAGE>
Competition:
The competition surrounding the Registrant's Property has
had very little change in the recent years. The competitive sites
have also seen little activity in the past year and are asking
similar prices to the Registrant.
The Registrant has no employees. Partnership 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, 1999, Registrant owned approximately
32 sellable acres of land in Goodlettsville, Sumner County, and
Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee. These properties consist of
21 acres in the North Creek Business Park and 11 acres of the
Larchwood Property. For further information, see Item 1 above.
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 June 26, 1986 of 7,500 Units
of limited partnership interests at $1,000 per Unit. The offering
of $7,500,000 was fully subscribed and closed on July 31, 1986. As
of February 28, 2000, there were 465 holders of record of the 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
Results of Operations
Sales
During 1999, the Registrant sold approximately 13 acres at the
North Creek Business Park Property. Gross proceeds were
approximately $1.2 million. From these proceeds, $900,000 was
distributed to the partners. The remaining proceeds were used to
meet operational expenses of the partnership.
During 1998, the Registrant sold four parcels of land. Three
sales were from the North Creek Business Park Property. These
sales totalled 9.7 acres and had gross proceeds of $1,325,076. The
other sale from the Larchwood Property was for 2.5 acres and had
gross proceeds of $260,670. From these and prior sales, the
Registrant distributed $1,500,000 to the limited partners.
In 1997, The Registrant sold 1.47 acres of the Larchwood
property for approximately $320,000. Proceeds were retained to
meet operating expenses.
Analysis of Operations
Operations of the Registrant are consistent through the
years.
During the fourth quarter of 1999, based on recent sales
projections, management determined that the property held for sale
was impaired and, in accordance with SFAS No. 121, increased the
allowance by $140,000 to $1,017,154 from the prior amount of
$877,154.
<PAGE>
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 addressed 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 divided the Plan into five major phases-assessment,
planning, conversion, implementation and testing. The plan was
completed in mid 1999. The total remediation costs for the plan
were not material to the operation or liquidity of the
partnerships. The Registrant had no significant operational
difficulties related to Year 2000 issue. Management does not
expect any future issues or operational problems related to Year
2000 issues.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
At February 29, 2000 $ 95,478 was held in cash and cash
equivalents to cover partnership administrative expenses. The
General Partner believes that this cash will be sufficient to meet
operating needs for 2000.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Partners
Nashville Land Fund, Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Nashville Land
Fund, Ltd. (a limited partnership) as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, and the related statements of operations, partners' equity,
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1999. 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 generally accepted
auditing standards. 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
Nashville Land Fund, Ltd. at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

NASHVILLE LAND FUND, LTD.
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999 and 1998
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Organization
Nashville Land Fund, Ltd. (the Partnership) is a
Tennessee Limited Partnership organized in March, 1986
to acquire, own, and hold for investment certain parcels
of undeveloped real property located in Metropolitan
Nashville, Davidson County, and Sumner County, Tennessee.
222 Partners, Inc. is the general partner of the
Partnership. The Partnership prepares financial
statements and income tax returns on the accrual basis of
accounting. In the event that the Partnership has short-
term cash deficiencies, the General Partner can defer the
collection of fees for certain related party expenses or
grant interest-free loans from related parties until cash
becomes available.
(b) Estimates
Management of the partnership has made certain estimates
and assumptions to prepare these financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
These estimates include the determination of the estimated
fair value of the land held for investment. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
(c) Cash
Cash belonging to the Partnership is combined in an account
with funds from other partnerships related to the general
partner.
(d) Land and Improvements Held for Investment
Land and improvements held for investment are recorded at
cost and include two tracts of undeveloped land
representing approximately 32 and 45 acres in 1999 and
1998, respectively. Land costs include amounts
incurred to acquire and develop the land, including
interest and property taxes, during the development period.
F-6
<PAGE>
NASHVILLE LAND FUND, LTD.
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Land and Improvements Held for Investment(continued)
Costs to hold land, including interest and property taxes,
are charged to expense. Land improvement costs incurred
include development costs expended subsequent to the
acquisition of a tract.
Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or 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 fair
value less estimated costs to sell of the assets. If
impaired, management establishes an allowance for
impairment with a corresponding charge to earnings. Losses
upon the sale of the assets are recognized against the
allowance to the extent available.
(e) Income Recognition
Income from sales of land and improvements 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.

(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(f) Income Taxes
No provision has been made in the financial statements for
Federal income taxes, since such taxes are the
responsibilities of the partners. The partnership is
subject to a 6% state tax on certain interest income.
Additionally, the partners receive, from the partnership,
IRS Form K-1's which provides them with their share of
taxable income (or losses), deductions, and other tax
information. The primary difference between the tax basis
and reported amounts of the Partnership's assets and
liabilities relates to the valuation of land held for
investment.
(g) 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:
Partnership 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 - 10% 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 account balance to the capital
account balances in excess of adjusted capital
contributions and unpaid preferred return of all limited
partners is 28% to 72%. Thereafter, profits are generally
allocated 28% to the general partner and 72% to the limited
partners.
NASHVILLE LAND FUND, LTD.
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(g) Partnership Allocations(continued)
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 (10% 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% to the limited
partners and 28% to the general partner.
Cumulative unpaid preferred returns are $4,116,558 at
December 31, 1999.
(h) 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 ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership had no
components of other comprehensive income. Accordingly,
comprehensive income for each of the years was the same as
net income.
(2) Restricted Cash
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership has
restricted cash balances of $36,982 and $35,829,
