PART I

Item 1. Business

Inland Land Appreciation Fund, L.P. was formed in October 1987 to invest in undeveloped land on an all-cash basis and realize appreciation of such land upon resale. On October 12, 1988, we commenced an offering of 10,000 (subject to increase to 30,000) limited partnership units or units at $1,000 per unit, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The offering terminated on October 6, 1989, after we sold 30,000 units, at $1,000 per unit, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $30,000,000, which does not include proceeds from our general partner or our initial limited partner. All of the holders of our units were admitted to our partnership. Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation is our general partner. We 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. Our limited partners share in their portion of benefits of ownership of our real property inves tments according to the number of units held. As of December 31, 2003, we have repurchased a total of 407.75 Units for $359,484 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 original capital as reduced by distributions from net sale proceeds.

We purchased on an all-cash basis, twenty-five parcels of undeveloped land and are engaged in the rezoning and resale of the parcels. All of the investments were made in the Chicago metropolitan area. The anticipated holding period of the land was approximately two to seven years from the completion of the land portfolio acquisitions. As a result of the lengthy rezoning and entitlement processes and the no growth mentality of the municipalities where the land is located, our holding period has exceeded our original estimates. As of December 31, 2003, we have had multiple sales transactions, through which we have disposed of approximately 1,571 acres of the approximately 3,102 acres originally owned.

We are engaged in the business of real estate investment which management considers being a single operating segment. A presentation of information about operating segments would not be material to an understanding of our business taken as a whole.

We plan to continue to enhance the value of our remaining land through pre-development activities such as rezoning, annexation and land planning. We have already been successful in, or are in the process of, pre-development activity on several of our land investments. Parcels 4, 6 and 7 have completed two phases of improvements for an industrial park and sites are being marketed and sold. We have also begun planning and zoning on the residential portion of these parcels. Zoning discussions have begun on Parcel 17, 18 and 22.

On February 20, 2004, we sold approximately 224 acres of Parcel 20 for $12,500,000. On March 10, 2004, we sold approximately 90 acres of Parcel 12 for $3,500,000. On March 24, 2004, we paid distributions totaling $10,000,000, which includes $7,864,450 paid to the limited partners and $2,135,550 paid to the general partner. In addition to these sales which occurred in 2004, we anticipate additional sales of Parcels 4, 6 and 7. Proceeds from these sales will be used to reduce the note payable to our general partner. Undistributed net sales proceeds will be used to cover our operations, including property upgrades, and to repay the note payable to our general partner, which matures November 30, 2004. We will evaluate our cash needs throughout the year to determine future distributions.

We had no employees during 2003.

Our general partner and its affiliates provide services to us. Our general partner and its affiliates are reimbursed for salaries and expenses of employees of the general partner and its affiliates relating to the administration of the partnership. An affiliate of the general partner performs marketing and advertising services for us and is reimbursed for direct costs. An affiliate of the general partner performs property upgrades, rezoning, annexation and other activities to prepare our parcels for sale and is reimbursed for salaries and direct costs.

Access to Our Information

We electronically file our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The public may read and copy any of the reports that are filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at (800)-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically.

We make available, free of charge through our general partner's website, and by responding to requests addressed to our director of investor relations, the annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports. These reports are available as soon as reasonably practical after such material is electronically filed or furnished to the SEC. Our general partner's website address is www.inland-investments.com. The information contained on this website, or other websites linked to our website, is not part of this document.

Item 2. Properties

We acquired fee ownership of the following real property investments:

As part of the purchase agreement for parcel 5, we were required to buy an option to purchase an additional 243 acres immediately to the west of this parcel. The 1990 sale transaction relates to the sale of this option.

Our general partner anticipates that the land we acquired will produce sufficient income to pay property taxes, insurance and other miscellaneous expenses. Income will be derived through leases to farmers or from other activities compatible with undeveloped land. The majority of the parcels purchased by us consist of land which generates revenue from farming or other leasing activities. It is not expected that we will generate cash distributions to limited partners from farm leases or other leasing activities.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are not subject to any material pending legal proceedings.

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

Consistent with our partnership agreement, there were no matters submitted to a vote of our security holders during 2003.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Our Limited Partnership Units and Related Security Holder Matters

As of March 22, 2004, there were 3,015 holders of our units. There is no public market for units nor is it anticipated that any public market for units will develop.

Although we have established a unit repurchase program, funds for repurchase of units are limited. Units will be repurchased from limited partners at a price equal to 100% of their original capital as reduced by distributions from net sale proceeds. As of December 31, 2003, we had approximately $44,500 available for the repurchase of units.

For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, we paid the following distributions:

Item 7. 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 annual report on Form 10-K constitute "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 our 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, the ability to obtain annexation and zoning approvals required to develop our properties; the approval of local governing bodies to develop our properties; successful lobbying of local "no growth" or limited development homeowner groups; adverse changes in real estate, financing and general economic or local conditions; eminent domain proceedings; changes in the environmental condit ions or changes in the environmental positions of governmental bodies; and potential conflicts of interest between us and our affiliates, including our general partner.

Critical Accounting Policies

On December 12, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial Reporting Release or FRR No. 60 "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies." A critical accounting policy is one that would materially effect our operations or financial condition, and requires management to make estimates or judgements in certain circumstances. We believe that our most critical accounting policies relate to how we value our investment properties and mortgage loans receivable and revenue recognition. These judgements often result from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The purpose of the FRR is to provide investors with an understanding of how management forms these policies. Critical accounting policies discussed in this section are not to be confused with accounting principles and methods disclosed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or GAAP. GAAP requires information in financial statements about accounting principles, methods used and disclosures pertaining to significant estimates. The following disclosure discusses judgements known to management pertaining to trends, events or uncertainties known which were taken into consideration upon the application of those policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported upon taking into consideration different conditions and assumptions.

Valuation of Investment Properties - On a quarterly basis, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, we conduct an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each property does not exceed its estimated fair value. If this were to occur, we would be required to record an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying value over fair value.

In determining the value of an investment property and whether the property is impaired, management considers several factors such as projected capital expenditures and sales prices. The aforementioned factors are considered by management in determining the value of any particular property. The value of any particular property is sensitive to the actual results of any of these uncertain factors, either individually or taken as a whole. Should the actual results differ from management's judgement, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected.

The valuation and possible subsequent impairment of investment properties is a significant estimate that can and does change based on management's continuous process of analyzing each property.

Cost Allocation - We use the area method of cost allocation, which approximates the relative sales method of cost 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.

Valuation of Mortgage Loans Receivable - On a quarterly basis, we conduct an analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each mortgage loan receivable is recoverable from the borrower. If we determine that all or a portion of the receivable is not collectible, we would be required to record an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the amount estimated to be uncollectible.

In determining the value of mortgage loans receivable, management considers projected sales proceeds available and expenses related to the property associated with the mortgage. Should the actual results differ from management's judgement, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected.

The valuation and possible subsequent allowance for doubtful accounts is a significant estimate that can and does change based on management's continuous process of analyzing each mortgage loan receivable.

Revenue Recognition - We recognize income from the sale of land parcels in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate".

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On October 12, 1988, we commenced an offering of 10,000 (subject to increase to 30,000) limited partnership units or units pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. On October 6, 1989, the offering terminated after we had sold 30,000 units to the public at $1,000 per unit resulting in $30,000,000 in gross offering proceeds, which does not include proceeds from the initial limited partner and the general partner. All of the holders of our units were admitted to our partnership. Our limited partners share in their portion of benefits of ownership of our real property investments according to the number of units held.

We 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 December 31, 2003, we have had multiple sales transactions, through which we have disposed of approximately 1,571 acres of the approximately 3,102 acres originally owned. As of December 31, 2003, cumulative distributions to the limited partners have totaled $22,205,456 (which represents a return of original capital) and $1,419,042 to the general partner. Through December 31, 2003, we have used $17,282,545 of working capital for rezoning and other activities. Such amounts have been capitalized and are included in investments in land.

Our capital needs and resources will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the extent to which we conduct 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 our land, and the amount of revenue received from leasing. As of December 31, 2003, we own, in whole or in part, fourteen of our 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.

At December 31, 2003, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $966,000, of which approximately $44,500 is reserved for the repurchase of units through the unit repurchase program. The remaining approximately $921,500 is available to be used for our costs and liabilities, cash distributions to partners and other activities with respect to some or all of our land parcels.

On February 20, 2004, we sold approximately 224 acres of Parcel 20 for $12,500,000. On March 10, 2004, we sold approximately 90 acres of Parcel 12 for $3,500,000. On March 24, 2004, we paid distributions totaling $10,000,000, which includes $7,864,450 paid to the limited partners and $2,135,550 paid to the general partner. In addition to these sales which occurred in 2004, we anticipate additional sales of Parcels 4, 6 and 7. Proceeds from these sales will be used to reduce the note payable to our general partner. Undistributed net sales proceeds will be used to cover our operations, including property upgrades, and to repay the note payable to our general partner, which matures November 30, 2004. We will evaluate our cash needs throughout the year to determine future distributions.

We plan to enhance the value of our land through pre-development activities such as rezoning, annexation and land planning. We have already been successful in, or are in the process of, pre-development activity on several of our land investments. Parcels 4, 6 and 7 have completed two phases of improvements for an industrial park and sites are being marketed. We have also begun planning and zoning on the residential portion of these parcels. Parcel 12 was annexed and zoned during 2002 and marketing began. Parcel 12 was sold in 2004. Zoning discussions have begun on Parcel 17, 18 and 22.

Transactions with Related Parties

Our general partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for salaries and expenses of employees of the general partner and its affiliates relating to our administration. Such costs of $47,031, $52,890 and $40,133 are included in professional services to affiliates and general and administrative expenses to affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively, of which $5,672 and $6,242 was unpaid as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

An affiliate of our general partner performed marketing and advertising services for us and was reimbursed for direct costs. Such costs of $16,120, $16,346 and $32,627 have been incurred and are included in marketing expenses to affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, all of which was paid as of December 31, 2003 and 2002.

An affiliate of the general partner performed property upgrades, rezoning, annexation and other activities to prepare our parcels for sale and was reimbursed for salaries and direct costs. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, we incurred $354,867 and $436,459, respectively, of such costs. The affiliate did not recognize a profit on any project. Such costs are included in investments in land, of which $30,187 and $10,905 was unpaid as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

On December 31, 1998, we obtained a loan from the general partner in the amount of $2,493,750 solely collateralized by Parcel 5. During 2002, the general partner advanced an additional $12,234. The note accrued interest at prime plus .5% and had a maturity date which was extended to December 29, 2003. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, interest of $63,822 and $138,435, respectively, was capitalized. During 2003, all principal and interest on this loan was repaid.

On December 6, 2000, we obtained a loan from the general partner in the amount of $1,500,000 collateralized by Parcels 17, 18 and 22. During 2002, the general partner advanced an additional $15,000. The note accrues interest at prime plus .5% and has a maturity date of November 30, 2004. The principal balance outstanding at December 31, 2003 was $1,515,000. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, interest of $80,642 and $127,040, respectively, was capitalized, of which $229,921 and $149,279 was unpaid as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

On May 9, 2002, the general partner advanced us a loan in the amount of $200,000. The note accrued interest at 5.25%. This advance was repaid in full on September 17, 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2002, interest of $3,797 was capitalized, all of which was paid as of December 31, 2002.

Results of Operations

As of December 31, 2003, we owned fourteen parcels of land consisting of approximately 1,531 acres. Of the 1,531 acres owned, approximately 1,376 acres are tillable, leased to local farmers and generate sufficient cash flow to cover property taxes, insurance and other miscellaneous expenses. Rental income was $225,179, $274,768 and $272,752 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in rental income is due to the decrease in tillable acres as a result of the sale of land.

Sales of investments in land and improvements of $12,827,798 and cost of land sold of $4,289,425 for the year ended December 31, 2003 are a result of the sale of approximately 23 acres of Parcel 4, the sale of approximately 372 acres of Parcel 5 and the sale of approximately 28 acres of Parcel 16. The increase in sales activity for the year ended December 31, 2003 is the result of favorable zoning as well as a change in our marketing approach to target homebuilders, industrial users and land developers. Sales of investments in land and improvements of $1,609,108 and cost of land sold of $450,778 for the year ended December 31, 2002 are a result of the sale of two lots of Parcel 4 and the sale of approximately 70 acres of Parcel 24. Sales of investments in land and improvements of $750,900 and cost of land sold of $384,614 for the year ended December 31, 2001 are a result of the sale of four lots of Parcel 4 and the sale of the balance of 91 acres of Parcel 13.

Interest income was $53,772, $6,827 and $259,774 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Interest income is primarily a result of cash available to invest on a short term basis during the year as a result of sales proceeds received and interest earned on our mortgage loans receivable. During 2002, we recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts relating to the interest in our mortgage loans receivable and stopped the accrual of interest income on the mortgage loans receivable relating to Parcels 1, 15, 21 and 23.

Professional services to affiliates were $31,832, $37,398 and $24,388 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Professional services to affiliates decreased for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, due to a decrease in legal services. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in fees for accounting services as a result of increased sales activity and regulatory requirements. Professional services to affiliates increased for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, due to an increase in legal services.

Professional services to non-affiliates were $39,588, $33,258 and $30,753 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Professional services to non-affiliates increased for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, due to an increase in fees for accounting services.

Marketing expenses to non-affiliates were $83,826, $125,569 and $49,668 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in 2002 was due to increased marketing and advertising through radio and local cable television ads. In 2003 and continuing into 2004, we changed our marketing approach to target homebuilders, industrial users and land developers through direct mailings, newspaper and trade publication advertising and an enhanced website.

Land operating expenses to non-affiliates were $72,980, $106,588 and $66,249 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These costs primarily include real estate tax expense, ground maintenance and insurance expense on the parcels we own.

The velocity of the developer's individual lot sales was slower than originally projected and consequently, the developer's carrying costs were higher. The developer obtained a loan from an affiliate of our general partner. These funds were used for operating costs and to continue the development of the projects. As a result of the slower lot sales, the net sale proceeds available to us are lower than anticipated. As of December 31, 2002, we had recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $767,248 relating to a portion of the accrued interest receivable on mortgage loans resulting from the sale of these parcels. In early August 2003, we reviewed recent forecasts on these parcels, and determined that the collectibility of these receivables was doubtful. As a result, we elected to reserve an additional $2,302,787 of principal and accrued interest relating to the mortgages receivable in 2003. The deferred gain of $242,368 relating to the mortgage loans receivable was also reserved and recorded against ba d debt expense as of December 31, 2003.

Our general partner guaranteed the third party development loans owed by these limited liability companies. In reviewing the developments' financial situation, our general partner determined that it would be in its best interest to have an affiliate acquire the interests in the LLCs. The general partner and its affiliates concluded that they could better control the continuing costs to complete these developments and would therefore have the best opportunity to limit their exposure under the guarantee agreements and possibly recover a portion of the amount owed to us. An affiliate of our general partner contributed approximately $1,900,000 to acquire the interests in these LLCs. Our general partner contributed approximately $2,400,000 to pay off the debt under its guarantee of the LLC loans. The affiliate of the general partner will complete the development and sale of these projects. Based on our review of developments' financial situation in early 2004, we do not anticipate receiving any additional proc eeds and plan to write off these receivables in 2004. Our limited partners received distributions that equated to the parcel capital plus approximately a 6% return per annum on the parcel capital through the date of the distribution.

Our Partnership Agreement

Our partnership agreement defines the allocation of profits and losses, and available cash. If and to the extent that real estate taxes and insurance payable with respect to our land during a given year exceed our revenues, our general partner will make a supplemental capital contribution of such amount to us to ensure that we have sufficient funds to make such payments.

Profits and losses from operations (other than capital transactions) will be allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partner. The net gain from a sale of our properties is first allocated among the partners in proportion to the negative balances, if any, in their respective capital accounts. Thereafter, except as provided below, net gain is allocated to the general partner in an amount equal to the proceeds distributed to the general partner from such sale and the balance of any net gain is allocated to the limited partners. If the amount of net gain realized from a sale is less than the amount of cash distributed to the general partner from such sale, we will allocate income or gain to the general partner in an amount equal to the excess of the cash distributed to the general partner with respect to such sale as quickly as permitted by law. Any net loss from a sale will be allocated to the limited partners.

Distributions of net sale proceeds will be allocated between the general partner and the limited partners based upon both an aggregate overall return to the limited partners and a separate return with respect to each parcel of land purchased by us.

-13-

As a general rule, net sale proceeds will be distributed 90% to the limited partners and 10% to the general partner until the limited partners have received from net sale proceeds (i) a return of their original capital plus (ii) a noncompounded cumulative preferred return of 15% of their invested capital. However, with respect to each parcel of land, the general partner's 10% share will be subordinated until the limited partners receive a return of the original capital attributed to such parcel or parcel capital, plus a 6% per annum noncompounded cumulative preferred return thereon.

After the amounts described in items (i) and (ii) above and any previously subordinated distributions to the general partner have been paid, and the amount of any supplemental capital contributions have been repaid to the general partner, subsequent distributions shall be paid 75% to the limited partners and 25% to the general partner without considering parcel capital. If, after all net sale proceeds have been distributed, the general partner has received more than 25% of all net sale proceeds (exclusive of distributions made to the limited partners to return their original capital), the general partner shall contribute to the partnership for distribution to the limited partners an amount equal to such excess.

Any distributions from net sale proceeds at a time when invested capital is greater than zero shall be deemed applied first as a reduction of such invested capital before application to payment of any deficiency in the 15% cumulative preferred return.

Subsequent Events

On February 20, 2004, we sold approximately 224 acres of Parcel 20 for $12,500,000 and recorded a gain of approximately $7,600,000.

On March 10, 2004, we sold approximately 90 acres of Parcel 12 for $3,500,000 and recorded a gain of approximately $2,300,000.

On March 24, 2004, we paid distributions totaling $10,000,000, which includes $7,864,450 paid to the limited partners and $2,135,550 paid to the general partner.

Selected Quarterly Financial Data (unaudited)

The following represents the results of operations for each quarter during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

Inflation

Inflation in future periods may cause capital appreciation of our investments in land. Rental income levels (from leases to new tenants or renewals of existing tenants) will rise and fall in accordance with normal agricultural market conditions and may or may not be affected by inflation. To date, our operations have not been significantly affected by inflation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Partners of
Inland Land Appreciation Fund, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Inland Land Appreciation Fund, L.P. (a limited partnership) ("the Partnership") as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inland Land Appreciation Fund, L.P. as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
