INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND, L.P.
(a limited partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2004

(unaudited)

Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, which are included in the Partnership's 2003 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 were 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, 2004, the Partnership has repurchased a total of 407.75 Units for $359,484 from various Limited Partners through the Unit Repurchase Program.


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary 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. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 financial statements to conform to the 2004 presentations.


Except as described in footnote (b) to Note 4 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.


In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46") "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities and Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51", which was revised in December 2003. The primary objectives of FIN No. 46 are to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights (Variable Interest Entities) and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the Variable Interest Entity (the Primary Beneficiary). FIN 46 became effective for the Partnership as of March 31, 2004. FIN 46 does not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial condition and results of operations.

(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 $7,298 and $5,672 were unpaid as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.


An affiliate of the General Partner performed 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 $29,724 and $11,595 have been incurred and are included in marketing expenses to affiliates for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, all of which was paid as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.


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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership incurred $168,997 and $282,354, respectively, of such costs. The affiliate did not recognize a profit on any project. Such costs are included in investments in land and improvements, of which $45,646 and $30,187 were unpaid as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
