PART I

Item 1. Business


Inland Land Appreciation Fund II, L.P. was formed on June 28, 1989, to invest in undeveloped land on an all-cash basis and realize appreciation of such land upon resale. On October 25, 1989, we commenced an offering of 30,000 (subject to increase to 60,000) 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. On October 24, 1991, we terminated our offering of units, after we sold 50,476.17 units, at $1,000 per unit, resulting in $50,476,170 in gross offering proceeds, not including our general partner's capital contribution of $500. All of the holders of our units were admitted to our partnership. Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation is our general partner. Our limited partners share in their portion of benefits of ownership of our real property investments according to the number of units held. As of December 31, 2003, we have repurchased a total of 408.65 units for $383,822 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, 27 parcels of undeveloped land and two buildings and are engaged in the rezoning and resale of the parcels. On September 16, 2002, we completed a tax-deferred exchange of Parcels 9 and 12 for 50 acres in Kendall County (Parcel 28). 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 and exchange transactions through which we have disposed of the buildings and approximately 2,427 acres of the approximately 4,530 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 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. Parcel 1 was annexed to the Village of Huntley and zoned for residential and commercial development with improvements in the planning stage. This parcel was sold in 2004. Parcels 14, 17 and 24 were rezoned for commercial and multi-family uses. In February, 2004 the remaining 1.2 acres of Parcel 14 was sold. As of December 31, 2003, we have sold all of the 243 single-family lots at the Ponds of Mill Race Creek (Parcel 23) in addition to the multi-family portion, the Winding Waters of Mill Race Creek. Parcel 26 was developed for single-family homes and as of December 31, 2003, 155 of the 165 lots have already closed. The remaining 10 lots were sold in January 2004. Parcel 20 has been granted rezoning which will permit additional land to be useable for development. W e are in zoning and planning discussions for Parcels 3, 4 and 27. We have completed our final planning on Parcel 18 and marketing has begun on this parcel.


In addition to the sales of Parcels 1, 14 and 26 in 2004, we also sold 99 acres of Parcel 22. On March 26, 2004, we paid distributions totaling $15,000,000, which includes $10,888,098 paid to the limited partners and $4,111,902 paid to the general partner. In addition to these sales which occurred in 2004, we anticipate additional sales of over 250 acres of Parcels 8, 10, 20 and 21. Undistributed net sales proceeds will be used to cover our operations, including property upgrades. We will evaluate our cash needs throughout the year to determine future distributions.


We had no employees during 2003.

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. Although the general partner believes that leasing our land will generate sufficient revenues to pay these expenses, there can be no assurance that this will in fact occur. Our general partner has agreed to make a supplemental capital contribution to us if and to the extent that real estate taxes and insurance payable with respect to our land during a given year exceed the revenue earned by us from leasing our land during such year. Any supplemental capital contribution will be repaid only after limited partners have received, over the life of our partnership, a return of their original capital plus the 15% cumulative return. A 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 limited partnership agreement, there were no matters submitted to a vote of our security holders during 2003.


Part II


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


As of March 22, 2004, there were 4,551 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 the 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 $266,500 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 conditions 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.


- -9-


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 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 Accounting Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.



Liquidity and Capital Resources


On October 25, 1989, we commenced an offering of 30,000 (subject to increase to 60,000) limited partnership units or units pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. On October 24, 1991, we terminated our offering of units, with total sales of 50,476.17 units, at $1,000 per unit, resulting in $50,476,170 in gross offering proceeds, not including the general partner's capital contribution of $500. All of the holders of these units were admitted to the 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 $41,314,301 of gross offering proceeds to purchase, on an all-cash basis, 27 parcels of undeveloped land and two buildings. These investments include the payment of the purchase price, acquisition fees and acquisition costs of such properties. Three of the parcels were purchased during 1990, sixteen during 1991, four during 1992, and four during 1993. On September 16, 2002, we completed a tax-deferred exchange of Parcels 9 and 12 for 50 acres in Kendall County (Parcel 28). As of December 31, 2003, we have had multiple sales and exchange transactions through which we have disposed of the buildings and approximately 2,427 acres of the approximately 4,530 acres originally owned. As of December 31, 2003, cumulative distributions have totaled $44,177,736 to the limited partners and $3,376,293 to the general partner. Of the $44,177,736 distributed to the limited partners, $43,456,736 was net sales proceeds, which represents a return of original capital, and $721,000 was from operations. As of December 31 , 2003, we have used $20,133,924 of working capital for rezoning and other activities. Such amounts have been capitalized and are included in investment properties.


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, 15 parcels, the majority of which are leased to local tenants and are generating sufficient cash flow from leases to cover property taxes and insurance.


At December 31, 2003, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,348,774, of which approximately $266,500 is reserved for the repurchase of units through the unit repurchase program. The remaining $3,082,274 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.

In 2004 we have received net sales proceeds of approximately $20,000,000 from the sales of Parcels 1, 14, 22 and 26. On March 26, 2004, we paid distributions totaling $15,000,000, which includes $10,888,098 paid to the limited partners and $4,111,902 paid to the general partner. In addition to these sales which occurred in 2004, we anticipate additional sales of over 250 acres of Parcels 8, 10, 20 and 21. Undistributed net sales proceeds will be used to cover our operations, including property upgrades. 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. Parcel 1 was annexed to the Village of Huntley and zoned for residential and commercial development with improvements in the planning stage. This parcel was sold in 2004. Parcels 14, 17 and 24 were rezoned for commercial and multi-family uses. In February, 2004 the remaining 1.2 acres of Parcel 14 was sold. As of December 31, 2003, we have sold all of the 243 single-family lots at the Ponds of Mill Race Creek (Parcel 23) in addition to the multi-family portion, the Winding Waters of Mill Race Creek. Parcel 26 was developed for single-family homes and as of December 31, 2003, 155 of the 165 lots have already closed. The remaining 10 lots were sold in January 2004. Parcel 20 has been granted rezoning which will permit additional land to be useable for development. W e are in zoning and planning discussions for Parcels 3, 4 and 27. We have completed our final planning on Parcel 18 and marketing has begun on this parcel.



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 $64,714, $80,122 and $102,501 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 $8,354 and $14,204 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 $26,008, $23,495 and $44,584 have been incurred and paid and are included in marketing expenses to affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, all of which was paid at December 31, 2003 and 2002.


An affiliate of our general partner performed property upgrades, rezoning, annexation and other activities to prepare our land investments for sale and was reimbursed for salaries and direct costs. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, we incurred $209,345 and $198,465, respectively, of such costs. The affiliate did not recognize a profit on any project. Such costs are included in investment properties, of which $36,913 and $15,165 was unpaid as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.


Results of Operations


Income from the sale of investment properties of $3,792,214 and cost of investment properties sold of $2,258,971 for the year ended December 31, 2003 is the result of the sale of approximately 3 acres of Parcel 2, 14 acres of Parcel 14, 34 acres of Parcel 22 and the sale of additional lots at the Sugar Grove parcel (Parcel 26). The sales activity for the year ended December 31, 2003 is the result of favorable zoning and a change in our marketing approach to target homebuilders, commercial users and land developers. Income from the sale of investment properties of $10,950,654 and cost of investment properties sold of $4,420,813 for the year ended December 31, 2002 is the result of the sale of approximately 12 acres of Parcels 14 and 17, 136 acres of Parcel 22, the sale of the remaining lot at the Ponds of Mill Race Creek subdivision (Parcel 23) and the sale of additional lots of the Bliss Woods subdivision (Parcel 26). Income from the sale of investment properties of $18,908,687 and cost of investment propert ies sold of $6,855,145 recorded for the year ended December 31, 2001 is the result of the sale of approximately 960 acres, including additional lots at the Sugar Grove parcel (Parcel 26), the sale of 63 acres of Parcel 8, 73 acres of Parcel 22, 168 acres of Parcel 16, and 19 acres of Parcels 14 and 24.

During, 2001, we sold 189 acres of Parcel 5 and 436 acres of Parcel 19 for $17,500,000 and recorded deferred gain of $10,203,634. We received a deferred down payment note in the amount of $1,500,000, due December 31, 2001. The note had an interest rate of 6%, however the note provided for the interest to be waived if the principal was paid in full by December 1, 2001. We received payment of the deferred down payment note on December 1, 2001 and recognized $875,923 of deferred gain. We also received an installment note in the amount of $16,000,000 at the time of closing. The installment note matures July 1, 2011 and has an interest rate of 6%. During 2003, we received principal payments totaling $1,204,128 and recognized deferred gain of $703,150. The remaining deferred gain will be recognized as payments are received.


As of December 31, 2003, we owned 15 parcels of land consisting of approximately 2,103 acres. Of the approximately 2,103 acres owned, 1,411 acres are tillable, leased to local farmers and generate sufficient cash flow to cover property taxes, insurance and other miscellaneous expenses. Rental income was $190,115, $201,262 and $222,256 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Rental income continues to decrease due to a decrease in the tillable acres as a result of sales.


The other income recorded for the year ended December 31, 2001, is the result of our receiving non-refundable deposits on land sales which did not occur.


Professional services to affiliates were $38,388, $62,728 and $82,195 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Professional services to affiliates decreased in 2003 and 2002 due to a decrease in legal services as a result of less sales activity.


General and administrative expenses to non-affiliates were $81,457, $136,500 and $26,359 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in 2002 was due to an increase in the state taxes paid as a result of land sales.


Marketing expenses to non-affiliates were $79,038, $151,090 and $52,239 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 $81,971, $215,126 and $209,309 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 owned.


We determined that the maximum value of Parcel 15 could be realized if the parcel was developed and sold as individual lots. However, if we had followed that plan, there is a possibility that it could have increased income taxes. Therefore, we sold the parcel to a third party developer whereby 100% of the sales price was represented by a note receivable from the buyer. This transaction was deemed an installment sale. After the sale, the developer, through a limited liability company or LLC, secured third party financing to cover the deferred down payment owed to us as well as provide proceeds to begin the development of the project. This sale was structured so that the deferred down payment received at the time of the sale was sufficient to provide a distribution to our limited partners that equated to the parcel capital allocated to the parcel plus approximately a 6% return per annum on the capital invested in the parcel (parcel capital) through the date of the distribution.

The velocity of the developer's individual home sales was slower than was originally projected and consequently, the developer's carrying costs were higher. As a result of the slower lot sales, the net sale proceeds available to us are lower than anticipated. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, we have recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,208,378 and $336,712 relating to the mortgage receivable and accrued interest, respectively, relating to the sale of Parcel 15 and have written off the related deferred gain of $747,454.

-12-


Our general partner guaranteed the third party development loans owed by the LLC. In reviewing the development's financial situation, our general partner determined that it would be in its best interest to have an affiliate acquire the interest in the limited liability company. The general partner and its affiliates concluded that they could better control the continuing costs to complete the development and would therefore have the best opportunity to limit their exposure under the guarantee agreements and possibly recover a portion of the amount owed. An affiliate of our general partner contributed approximately $1,500,000 to acquire the interests in these LLCs. Our general partner contributed approximately $500,000 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 this project. Based on our review of development's financial situation in early 2004, we do not anticipate receiving any additional proceeds and plan to wr ite 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 sales 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.


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 ("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 us for distribution to the limited partners an amount equal to such excess.


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

Subsequent Events


On January 9, 2004, we sold approximately 99 acres of Parcel 22 for approximately $5,407,000 and recorded a gain of approximately $4,022,000.


On January 28, 2004, we sold the remaining 10 lots of Parcel 26 for approximately $358,000 and recorded no gain on the sale.


On February 19, 2004, we sold approximately 1 acre of Parcel 14 for approximately $355,000 and recorded a gain of approximately $130,000.


On February 23, 2004, we sold approximately 373 acres of Parcel 1 for approximately $14,377,000 and recorded a gain of approximately $11,274,000.


On March 26, 2004, we paid distributions totaling $15,000,000, which includes $10,888,098 paid to the limited partners and $4,111,902 paid to the general partner.
