Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 1997
(unaudited)
Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the Partnership's audited
financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, which are
included in the Partnership's 1996 Annual Report, as certain footnote
disclosures which would duplicate those contained in such audited financial
statements have been omitted from this Report.
(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting
The Registrant, Inland Land Appreciation Fund, L.P. (the "Partnership"), was
formed in October 1987, pursuant to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act, to invest in undeveloped land on an all-cash basis and realize
appreciation of such land upon resale. On October 12, 1988, the Partnership
commenced an Offering of 10,000 (subject to increase to 30,000) Limited
Partnership Units ("Units") pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11
under the Securities Act of 1933. Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation is
the General Partner. The Offering terminated on October 6, 1989, with total
sales of 30,000 Units, at $1,000 per Unit, not including the General Partner or
the Initial Limited Partner. All of the holders of these Units have been
admitted to this Partnership. The Limited Partners of the Partnership share in
their portion of benefits of ownership of the Partnership's real property
investments according to the number of Units held. As of September 30, 1997,
the Partnership has repurchased a total of 371.75 Units for $332,490 from
various Limited Partners through the Unit Repurchase Program. Under this
program Limited Partners may under certain circumstances have their Units
repurchased for an amount equal to their Invested Capital.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Offering costs have been offset against the Limited Partners' capital accounts.
The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents and are carried at
cost, which approximates market.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121") requires the
Partnership to record an impairment loss on its property to be held for
investment whenever its carrying value cannot be fully recovered through
estimated undiscounted future cash flows from their operations and sale. The
amount of the impairment loss to be recognized would be the difference between
the property's carrying value and the property's estimated fair value. As of
September 30, 1997, the Partnership has not recognized any such impairment.
Except as described in footnote (b) to Note 3 of these notes, the Partnership
uses the area method of allocation, which approximates the relative sales
method of allocation, whereby a per acre price is used as the standard
allocation method for land purchases and sales. The total cost of the parcel
is divided by the total number of acres to arrive at a per acre price.
The Partnership is required to pay a withholding tax to the Internal Revenue
Service with respect to a Partner's allocable share of the Partnership's
taxable net income, if the Partner is a foreign person. The Partnership will
first pay the withholding tax from the distributions to any foreign partner,
and to the extent that the tax exceeds the amount of distributions withheld, or
if there have been no distributions to withhold, the excess will be accounted
for as a distribution to the foreign partner. Withholding tax payments are made
every April, June, September and December.
No provision for Federal income taxes has been made as the liability for such
taxes is that of the partners rather than the Partnership.
In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all the
adjustments necessary, which are of a normal recurring nature, to present
fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods
presented herein. Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the year.
(2) Transactions with Affiliates
The General Partner and its Affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for
salaries and expenses of employees of the General Partner and its Affiliates
relating to the administration of the Partnership. Such costs are included in
professional services and general and administrative expenses to Affiliates, of
which $74,818 and $40,569 were unpaid as of September 30, 1997 and December 31,
1996, respectively.

The General Partner is entitled to receive Asset Management Fees equal to one-
quarter of 1% of the original cost to the Partnership of undeveloped land
annually, limited to a cumulative total over the life of the Partnership of 2%
of the land's original cost to the Partnership. Such fees of $42,347 and
$42,708 have been incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively, and are included in land operating expenses to Affiliates,
of which $42,347 and $14,066 were unpaid as of September 30, 1997 and December
31, 1996, respectively.
An Affiliate of the General Partner performed sales marketing and advertising
services for the Partnership and was reimbursed (as set forth under terms of
the Partnership Agreement) for direct costs. Such costs of $105,587 and
$43,593 have been incurred and are included in marketing expenses to Affiliates
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, of which
$135,307 and $30,091 were unpaid as of September 30, 1997 and December 31,
1996, respectively.
An Affiliate of the General Partner performed property upgrades, rezoning,
annexation and other activities to prepare the Partnership's land investments
for sale and was reimbursed (as set forth under terms of the Partnership
Agreement) for salaries and direct costs. The Affiliate did not recognize a
profit on any project. Such costs are included in investments in land, of
which $72,365 and $58,347 were unpaid as of September 30, 1997 and December 31,
1996, respectively.

(a) Included in the purchase agreement of Parcel 5 was a condition that
required the Partnership to buy an option to purchase an additional 243
acres immediately to the west of this parcel. The sale transaction relates
to the sale of this option.
(b) The Partnership purchased from two third parties, two sets of three
contiguous parcels of land (Parcels 6, 7 and 8; and Parcels 9, 10 and 11).
The General Partner believes that the total value of this land will be
maximized if it is treated and marketed to buyers as six separate parcels
and closed the transactions as six separate purchases to facilitate this.
Parcels 6, 7 and 8 will be treated as one parcel and Parcels 9, 10 and 11
will be treated as one parcel for purposes of computing Parcel Capital (as
defined) and distributions to the Partners.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Certain statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q constitute of "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-
looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors which may cause the Partnership's actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These
factors include, among other things, federal, state or local regulations;
adverse changes in general economic or local conditions; inability of borrower
to meet financial obligations; uninsured losses; and potential conflicts of
interest between the Partnership and its Affiliates, including the General
Partner.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On October 12, 1988, the Partnership commenced an Offering of 10,000 (subject
to increase to 30,000) Limited Partnership Units pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. On October 6, 1989,
the Offering terminated with a total of 30,000 Units sold to the public at
$1,000 per Unit resulting in $30,000,000 in gross offering proceeds, which does
not include the Initial Limited Partner and the General Partner. All of the
holders of these Units have been admitted to the Partnership. The Limited
Partners of the Partnership share in their portion of benefits of ownership of
the Partnership's real property investments according to the number of Units
held.
The Partnership used $25,187,069 of gross offering proceeds to purchase on an
all-cash basis twenty-five parcels of undeveloped land and an option to
purchase undeveloped land. These investments include the payment of the
purchase price, acquisition fees and acquisition costs of such properties.
Fourteen of the parcels were purchased during 1989 and eleven during 1990. As
of September 30, 1997, the Partnership has had multiple sales transactions,
through which it has disposed of approximately 442 acres of the approximately
3,102 acres originally owned. As of September 30, 1997, cumulative
distributions to the Limited Partners have totaled $5,996,220 (which represents
a return of Invested Capital, as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and
$153,743 to the General Partner. Through September 30, 1997, the Partnership
has used $8,563,365 of working capital reserve for rezoning and other
activities. Such amounts have been capitalized and are included in investments
in land.
The Partnership's capital needs and resources will vary depending upon a number
of factors, including the extent to which the Partnership conducts rezoning and
other activities relating to utility access, the installation of roads,
subdivision and/or annexation of land to a municipality, changes in real estate
taxes affecting the Partnership's land, and the amount of revenue received from
leasing. As of September 30, 1997, the Partnership owns, in whole or in part,
twenty-two of its twenty-five original parcels, the majority of which are
leased to local farmers and are generating sufficient cash flow from farm
leases to cover property taxes and insurance.
-15-
At September 30, 1997, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
$36,588. The Unit Repurchase Program has approximately $61,400 remaining for
the repurchase of Units. There are currently no requests for repurchase, but
the Partnership plans to replenish cash available for this program through
future parcel sales. The Partnership has increased its parcel sales effort in
anticipation of rising land values.
Net sales proceeds totaling $1,849,826 from Parcels 1, 4, 12, 15, 20, 23, and
24 were previously retained and used to fund pre-development activity on
certain of the Partnership's land investments. In July 1997, the Partnership
replenished these net sales proceeds by obtaining a loan from the General
Partner. This note accrues interest at 10% and will be repaid with future net
sales proceeds as parcels are sold. On July 7, 1997, the Partnership
distributed these net sales proceeds to the Limited Partners resulting in
cumulative distributions of $5,996,220.
The Partnership plans to enhance the value of its land through pre-development
activities such as rezoning annexation and land planning. The Partnership has
already been successful in, or is in the process of pre-development activity on
a majority of the Partnership's land investments. Parcel 1, zoned with a
preliminary plan approved by the Village of Oswego, has improvements underway
and sites are being marketed. Of the 199 single-family lots, 75 lots are under
contract with a homebuilder, of which the first 15 lots closed on December 24,
1996 (see Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements.) Parcels 4, 6 and 7 have
completed improvements for an industrial park and sites are being marketed.
Parcel 15, zoned and annexed to the Village of Hawthorn Woods, also has
improvements underway and sites are being marketed. Of the forty lots, ten lots
were sold to individuals during 1996 and 1997 (see Note 3 of the Notes to
Financial Statements.) Parcels 16, 21 and 23 have been zoned with development
and sales marketing underway.
Results of Operations
As of September 30, 1997, the Partnership owned twenty-two parcels of land
consisting of approximately 2,660 acres. Of the 2,660 acres owned,
approximately 2,110 acres are tillable, leased to local farmers and generate
sufficient cash flow to cover property taxes, insurance and other miscellaneous
expenses. Land sales income and cost of land sold for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1997 is a result of the sale of four additional lots
of Parcel 15 and the sale of 2.081 acres of Parcel 13. Land sales income and
cost of land sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 is the
result of the sale of 4.629 acres of Parcel 24, the sale of 5.677 acres (Lots 1
and 2) of Parcel 15 and the prepayment of a mortgage loan receivable and
recognition of deferred gain relating to the 1994 lot sales of Parcel 23. The
increase in rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996, is due to the annual
increase in lease amounts from tenants. This increase is partially offset by a
decrease in tillable acres due to land sales and pre-development activity on
the Partnership's land investments.
Interest income decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1997, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, due
primarily to the Partnership utilizing its working capital reserve to fund pre-
development activity on the Partnership's land investments.
-16-
Professional services to Affiliates increased for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
due to increases in legal and accounting services related to the increase in
sales activity within the Partnership. Professional services to non-affiliates
increased for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, due to an increase in outside legal services.
General and administrative expenses to Affiliates decreased for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996, due to decreases in supplies, postage and data
processing expenses. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in
investor services expenses. General and administrative expenses to non-
affiliates increased for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 1996, due to an increase in the Illinois
Replacement Tax paid in 1997.
Marketing expenses to Affiliates increased for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997, as compared to the three and nine months ended September
30, 1996, due to increases in expenses relating to marketing and advertising
the Partnership's land investments for sale. Marketing expenses to non-
affiliates increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, as
compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, due to an
increase in advertising and travel expenses relating to marketing the land
portfolio to prospective purchasers.
Land operating expenses to non-affiliates increased for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, due to an increase in maintenance expenses of the
Partnership's land investments.
