                         Notes to Financial Statements

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 June 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.

                         Notes to Financial Statements
                                  (continued)

                                 June 30, 1997
                                  (unaudited)


The Partnership adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting Standards No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of  Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121") as required in the first quarter of 1996.  SFAS
121 requires that the Partnership 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.    The  adoption  of  SFAS  121  did  not  have  any  effect on the
Partnership's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

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 $60,631 and $40,569 were  unpaid  as  of  June  30, 1997 and December 31,
1996, respectively.

                                  (unaudited)


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 $28,240 and
$28,927 have been incurred for  the  six  months  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, and are included  in  land  operating  expenses to Affiliates, of
which $28,240 and $14,066 were  unpaid  as  of  June  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 $75,287 and $27,052
have been incurred and are included in marketing expenses to Affiliates for the
six months ended June 30,  1997  and  1996, respectively, of which $105,307 and
$30,091 were unpaid as of June 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  of  $7,715  have been incurred for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and  are  included  in investments in land, of which
$72,365 and $58,347 were unpaid  as  of  June  30,  1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively.

(3) Investments in Land and Improvements (continued)

(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.

(c) Reconciliation of real estate owned:

(4) Farm Rental Income

The Partnership has determined that all leases relating to the farm parcels are
operating leases.  Accordingly, rental income is reported when earned.

As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership  had  farm leases of generally one year in
duration, for approximately 2,110 acres of the approximately 2,661 acres owned.

On June 1, 1996, the  Partnership  obtained  a  line of credit from the General
Partner, Inland Real Estate Investment  Corporation, in the aggregate amount of
$3,000,000 to be  used  specifically  for  the  pre-development improvements on
Parcel 1. The Partnership is  required  to  pay  a  1%  loan fee to the General
Partner as money is funded. The  note  accrues interest at 10.9%, and Net Sales
Proceeds from Parcel 1 are being  applied  first to paydown the note. This note
had an original maturity date of May 1,  1997. As of June 30, 1997, the balance
of this note was $2,442,687. For  the  six months ended June 30, 1997, interest
of $127,669 was capitalized, of which $127,669 and $0 was unpaid as of June 30,

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 March 31, 1997, the Partnership has had multiple sales transactions, through
which it has disposed  of  approximately  441  acres of the approximately 3,102
acres originally owned.  As of  June  30, 1997, cumulative distributions to the
Limited Partners have totaled $4,146,541 (which represents a return of Invested
Capital, as defined in the  Partnership  Agreement) and $153,743 to the General
Partner.  Through June 30, 1997, the Partnership has used $7,917,514 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 June  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 June 30, 1997, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $4,313.  The
Unit Repurchase Program has approximately  $60,600 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  of  $1,849,826  to the Limited Partners
resulting in cumulative distributions of $5,996,367.

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, nine
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  June  30,  1997,  the  Partnership  owned  twenty-two  parcels  of land
consisting  of  approximately   2,661   acres.   Of   the  2,661  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.  Income  from  the  sale  of  investments  in  land  and  the cost of
investments in land sold recorded for the  six  months ended June 30, 1997 is a
result of the sale of three additional lots of Parcel 15.  Income from the sale
of investments in land and the  cost  of  investments in land sold recorded for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 is a result of 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 three and six
months ended June 30, 1997, as compared  to three and six months ended June 30,
1996, is primarily due to the under-accrual of rental income in 1996.

Interest income decreased for the three and  six months ended June 30, 1997, as
compared to the three and six months  ended June 30, 1996, due primarily to the
Partnership utilizing  its  working  capital  reserve  to  fund pre-development
activity on the Partnership's land investments.

Professional services to  Affiliates  increased  for  the  three and six months
ended June 30, 1997, as compared  to  the  three  and six months ended June 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  three  and  six  months  ended  June 30, 1997, as
compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, due to an increase in
outside legal services.


                                   -16-


General and administrative expenses to  Affiliates  increased for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1997, as  compared  to the three and six months ended
June 30,  1996,  due  primarily  to  increases  in  investor services expenses.
General and administrative  expenses  to  non-affiliates  increased for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, as compared  to the six months ended June 30, 1996,
due to increases in postage and the Illinois Replacement Tax paid in 1997.

Marketing expenses to Affiliates increased  for  the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997, as compared to the three and six months ended June 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 six months  ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the
three and six months ended June 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 six
months ended June 30, 1997, as compared  to the three and six months ended June
30, 1996, due to an increase in maintenance and real estate tax expenses of the
Partnership's land investments.
