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 an 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 investments according to the number of units held. Through December 31, 2013, we had repurchased a total of 407.75 units for $359,484 from various limited partners through the unit repurchase program.

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, as well as the depressed real estate market, our holding period has exceeded our original estimates. Through December 31, 2013, we have had multiple sales transactions, disposing of approximately 2,611 acres of the approximately 3,102 acres originally owned. We continue to own the remaining 491 acres, comprising Parcels 9, 11, 17/18/22 and 19, until such time as we receive a favorable offer which the general partner deems to be reflective of the market for the land within that area.

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 have been successful in pre-development activities such as rezoning, annexation and/or land planning of approximately 410 acres of Parcels 17/18/22 and 19 in McHenry, Illinois. Further pre-development activities are on hold pending significant improvements in the real estate market as well as demand for improved land zoned for residential and commercial use. During the first quarter of 2014, we received an offer from a third party purchaser to acquire Parcel 17/18/22. We are in the process of negotiating a contract. Provided acceptable terms are reached and the purchaser waives all its contingencies, the transaction could close during the second quarter.

There were no land sales during the year ended December 31, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2012, net sales proceeds from the sale of investment properties of $5,462,228 and the cost of investment properties sold of $4,843,189 is the result of the sale of Parcel 24, consisting of approximately 212 acres, the sale of Parcel 25, consisting of 225 acres, and the sale of Parcel 14, consisting of approximately 76 acres. In 2013, we recorded a $1,112 deemed distribution to the limited partners due to the tax withholdings paid to the Illinois Department of Revenue for the Illinois non-resident limited partners and the tax withholdings paid to the Internal Revenue Service for the foreign limited partners. These withholding distributions will offset subsequent cash distributions. In 2012, we made distributions totaling $5,394,618, which included $4,804,618 paid to the limited partners and $590,000 paid to the general partner. As land sales occur, net sales proceeds will be used to cover our current and future operations, including land improvements and land use activities. We will evaluate our cash needs during 2014 to determine future distributions.

We believe we have taken the steps necessary to reduce costs and maintain sufficient reserves of cash and cash equivalents to cover all our costs for an extended period of time. We have farm leases in place which generate sufficient income to cover the costs of insurance expense and real estate taxes. Our remaining land is not encumbered by debt and is located in areas that we believe are in the paths of future development. As such, at December 31, 2013, the Partnership has the ability and management has the intent to hold on to the remaining parcels until such time as reasonable and acceptable offers are received. Subsequent to year end, management has formally changed its intent to hold the remaining parcels for an indefinite period of time. After December 31, 2013, management received offers from third parties interested in acquiring several parcels of the Partnership’s remaining land. Management has determined it should attempt

-3-

to negotiate purchase and sale agreements with these potential purchasers as management has determined these offers are reasonable and acceptable. Based on these sales offers and the estimated market values of the remaining parcels, management estimates an approximate $2 million to $3 million decrease in the current land value of the remaining acreage.

We had no employees during 2013. Accordingly, we hired no compensation consultants.

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 land improvements, 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 100 F Street, NE, 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, by responding to requests addressed to our Investor Services department, 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.

Limited Partners wishing to communicate with our general partner can do so by writing to the attention of the general partner in care of our partnership at 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, IL 60523.

Item 1(A). Risk Factors

Real Estate Market

The slowly improving real estate market, coupled with strict lender requirements, continues to impact sales activity, especially sales of vacant land. Builders and developers today are less likely to build speculatively and are approaching new developments with caution. Any negative changes to the financial markets, real estate markets and employment numbers can have an impact on additional land sales which could result in an even longer holding period than previously estimated.

Pre-Development Stage Land

The net proceeds of the offering were invested in pre-development stage land. An investment in such land involves a number of potential risks, which include the following:

Dependence on Governmental Zoning and Fiscal Policies. We conduct rezoning and pre-development activities with respect to our land investments. Rezoning may only be effected by appropriate city, county and/or other local authorities. There can be no assurance that our efforts to cause these authorities to change the zoning classification(s), which apply to a given parcel of land owned by the partnership, will be successful. Sometimes local residents oppose our efforts. Sometimes local authorities require us to spend funds to facilitate future development of the land as a condition of rezoning or to continue a special land use. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient funds to accomplish the required changes or that they can be accomplished in a timely fashion.

Restricted or Limited Access to Utilities and Roadways. The value of our land will be affected by ease of access to utilities and transportation. If public utility providers are not located in sufficient proximity to a parcel owned by the partnership, the cost of arranging for such utility access may be prohibitive to the partnership or a potential purchaser of the parcel, thereby reducing the value of the parcel. Delays and/or postponements in the construction of roads in areas by our parcels likely would adversely affect the value of our parcels.

-4-

Environmental Risks. Federal and state environmental laws can impose substantial liability on owners of real estate without regard to fault, even when other parties are or were responsible for the environmental impairment. Environmental liabilities could cause us to incur significant expenses, including (but not limited to) the obligation to remedy or clean up hazardous substances (such as pesticides commonly used on farmland) or other pollutants, regardless of fault. Such liabilities could require us to dispose of a property at a loss, which could be substantial.

In addition, the value of our land is affected by the drainage pattern of such land and the surrounding area, the susceptibility of such land to flooding and the possibility that such land might be classified as “wetlands” by a government agency, thereby inhibiting or precluding development of the parcel.

Nature of Farm Leases and Limited Current Income. With the exception of limited amounts of cash which may be generated from leasing land as farmland or for other revenue-producing activities, pre-development land does not generate current income. Nevertheless, we incur ongoing expenses in connection with the ownership of such land (for example, real estate taxes and insurance). At the same time, our farm rental revenue is subject to a farm tenant’s ability to pay the contracted rent, which depends on circumstances such as fluctuations in commodity prices, bad weather, competition from other producers, changes in government farm policy (including price supports), pests and crop diseases.

Lack of Geographic Diversification. All of our remaining land investments are located in McHenry County, Illinois, near the Chicago metropolitan area. The success of the partnership will, therefore, depend to a great extent upon the rate and amount of economic growth in the Chicago metropolitan area.

Partnership-Related Risks

Risk of Installment Sale. We may sell some land parcels on an installment basis (which means that the sale price will be received in installments during the term of the agreement). In the event we find it necessary or desirable to provide such financing upon the resale of our parcels, a liquidation of the partnership may be delayed beyond the time of disposition of the parcels until any such loans are repaid or otherwise liquidated. In the event of a default on an installment sale, we may be forced to reacquire a property.

No Market for Units. Our units are subject to certain restrictions on transferability. As a result of these restrictions, no public trading market is likely to develop for these securities, nor is one intended to develop. Purchasers of units may not, therefore, be able to liquidate their investment, and units may not be readily acceptable as collateral for a loan.

Transfer Limit. In accordance with Article XVI Section 16.1 of the Inland Land Appreciation Fund, L.P. Partnership Agreement and Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(j), we did not reach the maximum threshold of limited partnership units that may be transferred/assigned directly between parties during 2013. For the benefit of interested limited partners, we have a relationship with a “qualified matching service” as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(g). In accordance with this Treasury Regulation and the IRS private letter ruling obtained by the “qualified matching service,” we understand that limited partnership units may be transferred or assigned through the “qualified matching service” up to a separate maximum threshold each taxable year (in addition to the maximum threshold that may be transferred or assigned directly between parties discussed above). However, there can be no assurance that the IRS private letter ruling will apply to transfers of our units, or that any particular transfer will not violate the transfer restrictions contained in the partnership agreement or the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(g). If you have any interest in participating in a transfer/assignment of limited partnership units through this “qualified matching service”, please contact American Partnership Board directly at 800-736-9797. You are strongly encouraged to consult your personal legal, financial and tax advisors in connection with any such transfer/assignment.

Conflicts of Interest. We may be subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with our general partner and its affiliates. If the general partner or its affiliates breach their fiduciary obligations to us, or do not resolve these conflicts of interest to our benefit, we could suffer consequences which we might not otherwise be subject to if such conflicts of interest did not exist.

Federal Income Tax Aspects

Potential Receipt of UBTI. The incurrence of debt in connection with our pre-development and/or sales activities could cause the gain on the sale of parcels to constitute unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”) and affect limited partners that are tax-exempt entities.

-5-

Tax liabilities may be greater than cash distributions. Each limited partner will be required to report the limited partner’s allocable share of our taxable net income on the limited partner’s personal tax return, regardless of whether the limited partner has received any cash distributions from us. Thus, limited partners may incur taxes associated with their proportional share of our net income even though we have not distributed cash to pay the taxes.

(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 1990 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 were treated as one parcel and Parcels 9, 10 and 11 will continue to be treated as one parcel for purposes of computing Parcel Capital (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and distributions to the partners.

Our general partner anticipates our land will produce sufficient income to pay real estate taxes and insurance expense. 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 a 15% cumulative return. Substantially all of our remaining parcels 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. Through December 31, 2013, our land has generated sufficient revenues from leasing to cover real estate taxes and insurance expense.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Partnership’s Limited Partnership Units, Related Security Holder Matters and Partnership Purchases of Limited Partnership Units

As of February 10, 2014, there were 2,596 holders of our units. There is no public market for units nor is it anticipated that any public market for units will develop.

In 2013, we recorded a $1,112 deemed distribution to the limited partners due to the tax withholdings paid to the Illinois Department of Revenue for the Illinois non-resident limited partners and the tax withholdings paid to the Internal Revenue Service for the foreign limited partners. These withholding distributions will offset subsequent cash distributions. In 2012, we made distributions totaling $5,394,618, which included $4,804,618 paid to the limited partners and $590,000 paid to the general partner. As land sales occur, net sales proceeds will be used to cover our current and future operations, including land improvements and land use activities. We will evaluate our cash needs during 2014 to determine future 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,

-10-

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, adverse changes in real estate, financing and general economic or local conditions; 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; 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

The SEC previously issued Financial Reporting Release (FRR) or FRR No. 60 “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies.” A critical accounting policy is one that would materially affect our operations or financial condition, and requires management to make estimates or judgments in certain circumstances. We believe that our most critical accounting policies relate to how we value, classify and allocate costs of our investment properties and revenue recognition. These judgments 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 judgments 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, we review impairment indicators and if necessary, conduct an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each investment property does not exceed its estimated fair value. If an investment property is considered impaired, we would be required to record an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying value over the estimated fair value.

In determining the value of an investment property and whether the property is impaired, management considers several indicators which require difficult, complex and/or subjective judgments, such as projected sales prices, capital expenditures, assessment of current economic conditions, and management’s intent to hold on to a property until such time as a reasonable and acceptable offer is received. These indicators 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 indicators, either individually or taken as a whole. Should the actual results differ from management’s judgment, 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. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, we had recorded no such impairment.

Cost Allocation - We use the area 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.

Revenue Recognition - We recognize income from the sale of land parcels in accordance with the full accrual method of accounting.

Assets Held for Sale - In determining whether to classify an asset as held for sale, we consider whether: (i) management has committed to a plan to sell the asset; (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale, in its present condition; (iii) we have initiated a program to locate a buyer; (iv) we believe that the sale of the asset is probable; (v) the due diligence period as defined in the sales agreement has expired and a closing date has been set; (vi) we are actively marketing the asset for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current value; and (vii) actions required for us to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will be made to the plan.

-11-

If all of the above criteria are met, we classify the asset as held for sale. The assets and liabilities associated with those assets that are held for sale are classified separately on the balance sheets for the most recent reporting period. Additionally, the operations for the periods presented are included in the statements of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. As of December 31, 2013, we have not classified any properties as held for sale.

From time to time, we may determine that a “held for sale property” no longer meets the criteria to continue to be classified as held for sale. If this occurs, we record the property at the lower of the carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale or the fair value at the decision date not to sell.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Between October 12, 1988 and October 6, 1989, we sold 30,000 limited partnership 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.

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. Through December 31, 2013, we have had multiple sales transactions, disposing of approximately 2,611 acres of the approximately 3,102 acres originally owned. As of December 31, 2013, cumulative distributions to the limited partners have totaled $43,480,223 which is equivalent to 145% of the original capital raised, which was $30,000,000, and cumulative distributions to the general partner have totaled $5,335,451. Through December 31, 2013, we have used $20,317,283 of working capital for rezoning and other activities. Such amounts have been capitalized as costs capitalized subsequent to acquisition 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 farm rents. As of December 31, 2013, we own, in whole or in part, four 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 real estate taxes and insurance expense.

At December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,999,497, which 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.

We have been successful in pre-development activities such as rezoning, annexation and /or land planning of approximately 410 acres of Parcels 19 and 17/18/22 in McHenry, Illinois. Further pre-development activities are on hold pending significant improvements in the real estate market as well as demand for improved land zoned for residential and commercial use. During the first quarter of 2014, we received an offer from a third party purchaser to acquire Parcel 17/18/22. We are in the process of negotiating a contract. Provided acceptable terms are reached and the purchaser waives all its contingencies, the transaction could close during the second quarter.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no land sales. For the year ended December 31, 2012, net sales proceeds from the sale of investment properties of $5,462,228 and the cost of investment properties sold of $4,843,189 are the result of the sale of Parcel 24, consisting of approximately 212 acres, the sale of Parcel 25, consisting of 225 acres, and the sale of Parcel 14, consisting of approximately 76 acres. We believe we have taken the steps necessary to reduce costs and maintain sufficient reserves of cash and cash equivalents to cover all our costs for an extended period of time. We have farm leases in place which generate sufficient income to cover the costs of insurance expense and real estate taxes. Our remaining land is not encumbered by debt and is located in areas that we believe are in the paths of future development. As land sales occur, net sales proceeds will be used to cover our current and future operations, including land improvements and land use activities. We will evaluate our cash needs throughout the year to determine future distributions.

-12-

We continue to closely monitor the real estate market trends, especially within the areas where our remaining parcels are located. Although we have seen improvements in the residential resale real estate markets, new home starts in these middle class communities remain weak. That, coupled with strict lender requirements, continues to adversely impact sales activity, especially sales of residential lots and sales of vacant land for retail purposes. We are aware of farm parcel sales in surrounding communities from both speculators looking to hold land until the market rebounds, as well as farmers looking to increase their farming businesses. Inquiries on the Partnership’s land holdings continue to increase as evidenced by recent offers received from current farm tenants.

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 $50,873 and $60,554 are included in professional services to affiliates and general and administrative expenses to affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, of which $9,621 and $17,079 was unpaid as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

An affiliate of our general partner performs marketing and advertising services for us and is reimbursed for direct costs. Such costs of $160 and $502 have been incurred and are included in marketing expenses to affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, all of which was paid as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

An affiliate of the general partner performs land improvements, rezoning, annexation and other activities to prepare our investment properties for sale and is reimbursed for salaries and direct costs. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we incurred $0 and $215, respectively, of such costs. The affiliate does not recognize a profit on any project. Such costs are included in investment properties, all of which was paid as of December 31, 2012.

As of December 31, 2013, the Partnership held all cash and cash equivalents with Inland Bank and Trust, an affiliate of the general partner.

Results of Operations

As of December 31, 2013, we owned four parcels of land consisting of approximately 491 acres. Of the 491 acres owned, approximately 431 acres are tillable, leased to local farmers and generate sufficient cash flow to cover real estate taxes and insurance. Rental income was $146,929 and $121,455 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Rental income increased due to an increase in the farm rental rates. The 2014 farm leases for our tillable land were negotiated and fully executed within the first quarter of 2014.

We have been successful in pre-development activities such as rezoning, annexation and/or land planning of approximately 410 acres of Parcels 17/18/22 and 19 in McHenry, Illinois. A majority of Parcel 17/18/22 is within the planning jurisdiction of the City of Woodstock with the balance annexed into the corporate limits of the Village of Bull Valley. Land planning for this collective parcel is on hold until such time as the market where the property is located rebounds. During the first quarter of 2014, we received an offer from a third party purchaser to acquire Parcel 17/18/22. We are in the process of negotiating a contract. Provided acceptable terms are reached and the purchaser waives all its contingencies, the transaction could close during the second quarter.

Parcel 19 previously received approval required from certain Village of McHenry municipal departments for a preliminary plan approving a 41 unit well and septic residential subdivision to be called Hunters Woods. Following the downturn in the real estate market, we sought an extension in the time limit for recording the final plat for the Hunters Woods Subdivision. The extension expired on May 5, 2011. During the first quarter of 2011, we submitted a formal request for an additional extension as allowed by the Village of McHenry. We received a response which required addressing minor storm water comments raised by the McHenry County Department of Planning and Development. These matters have been addressed in a formal response. During May 2013 we received notice of a recent policy change by the Planning and Development Committee of the County Board regarding subdivisions extensions. The Committee will no longer grant extensions to subdivisions, as had become common practice over the last five years. Instead, subdivision applicants that are currently in the final plat stage will now have the option of suspending the subdivision application for a period of up to four years. We have accepted this option and as a result of this policy change we have until April 18, 2017 to reinitiate our request to proceed with the previously approved plan.

-13-

Professional services to affiliates and non-affiliates were $142,047 and $132,277 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Professional services primarily include accounting fees and legal fees. The increase in professional services to affiliates and non-affiliates is due primarily to additional accounting fees for state tax filings, XBRL filing requirements, and audit fees.

General and administrative expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates were $42,548 and $41,272 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. General and administrative expenses primarily include data processing costs, postage and printing costs. There are no significant changes for 2013.

Marketing expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates were $160 and $1,300 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Marketing expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates are costs incurred for preparing and marketing parcels for sale and monitoring activity at the parcels. The marketing expenses are primarily signage costs.

Land operating expenses to non-affiliates were $13,657 and $12,850 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These costs primarily include real estate tax expense and insurance expense. The increase is due to an increase in real estate taxes for 2013.

Interest income was $4,989 and $12,926 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Interest income is primarily a result of the cash available to invest on a short term basis. The decrease in interest income is due to a decrease in interest rates and less cash available for investing.

Other income was $4,450 and $9,050 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Other income is due primarily to transfer fees as a result of the number of completed transfers of limited partnership units. The decrease is due to less transfer fee income as a result of a decrease in the number of completed unit transfers.

Income from discontinued operations was $0 and $70,145 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Included in income from discontinued operations are rental income, insurance and real estate taxes pertaining to the parcels sold during the year ended December 31, 2012.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no land sales. The net gain on sale of investment properties of $619,039 for the year ended December 31, 2012 is the result of the sale of Parcel 24, consisting of approximately 212 acres, the sale of Parcel 25, consisting of 225 acres, and the sale of Parcel 14, consisting of approximately 76 acres. Sales activity for the year ended December 31, 2012 was the result of an increase in sales of vacant land to both speculators looking to hold land until the market rebounds and farmers looking to increase their farming businesses.

Our Partnership Agreement

Our partnership agreement prescribes the allocation of profits and losses, and the distribution priorities of 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 and receives a special allocation of expenses in a like amount.

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 on sales of investment 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.

-14-

Distributions of net sales 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 sales proceeds will be distributed 90% to the limited partners and 10% to the general partner until the limited partners have received from net sales 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 sales proceeds have been distributed, the general partner has received more than 25% of all net sales 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 sales 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

The Partnership evaluates subsequent events occurring between the most recent balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements are available to be issued in order to determine whether the subsequent events are to be recorded in and/or disclosed in the Partnership’s financial statements and footnotes. The financial statements are considered to be available to be issued at the time that they are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Subsequent to year end, management has formally changed its intent to hold the remaining parcels for an indefinite period of time. After December 31, 2013, management received offers from third parties interested in acquiring several parcels of the Partnership’s remaining land. Management has determined it should attempt to negotiate purchase and sale agreements with these potential purchasers as management has determined these offers are reasonable and acceptable. Based on these sales offers and the estimated market values of the remaining parcels, management estimates an approximate $2 million to $3 million decrease in the current land value of the remaining acreage.

There are no other subsequent events to report that would have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.

Other Items

In accordance with Article XVI Section 16.1 of the Inland Land Appreciation Fund, L.P. Partnership Agreement and Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(j), we did not reach the maximum threshold of limited partnership units that may be transferred/assigned directly between parties during 2013. For the benefit of interested limited partners, we have a relationship with a “qualified matching service” as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(g). In accordance with this Treasury Regulation and the IRS private letter ruling obtained by the “qualified matching service”, we understand that limited partnership units may be transferred/assigned through the “qualified matching service” up to a separate maximum threshold each taxable year (in addition to the maximum threshold that may be transferred/assigned directly between parties discussed above). However, there can be no assurance that the IRS private letter ruling will apply to transfers of units, or that any particular transfer will not violate the transfer restrictions contained in our partnership agreement or the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(g). If you have any interest in participating in a transfer/assignment of limited partnership units through this “qualified matching service,” please contact American Partnership Board directly at 800-736-9797. You are strongly encouraged to consult your personal legal, financial and tax advisors in connection with any such transfer/assignment.

The Illinois Department of Revenue regulates Illinois income tax withholding requirements for nonresident partners. For the tax year ended December 31, 2013, there are no withholdings required. For the tax year ended December 31, 2012, the required withholding of $1,106 was made to the Illinois Department of Revenue during March 2013 and was recorded as a distribution to the limited partners. You are encouraged to consult with your tax advisor in connection with the

-15-

Illinois withholding requirements for nonresident partners. We are also required to pay a withholding tax to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to a partner’s allocable share of our taxable net income, if the partner is a foreign person. We will first pay the withholding tax from the distributions to any nonresident and/or foreign partners, 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 such nonresident and/or foreign partners. For the tax year ended December 31, 2013, no withholding is required for foreign investors. For the tax year ended December 31, 2012, we paid $6 to the Internal Revenue Service on behalf of foreign partners and recorded it as a distribution to the limited partners.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, partners’ capital, and cash flows for the years then ended. The 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inland Land Appreciation Fund, L.P. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

(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. Between October 12, 1988 and October 6, 1989, the Partnership sold 30,000 Limited Partnership Units (“Units”) at $1,000 per Unit, which does not include the General Partner or the Initial Limited Partner, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $30,000,000. Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation is the General Partner. 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. Through December 31, 2013, the Partnership had repurchased a total of 407.75 Units for $359,484 from various Limited Partners through a 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.

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 value. The Partnership maintains its cash and cash equivalents at a financial institution. The account balances at the financial institution periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage of $250,000 on interest bearing and non-interest bearing accounts and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Partnership believes that the risk is not significant, and the Partnership does not anticipate the financial institution’s non-performance.

The Partnership recognizes income from the sale of land parcels in accordance with the full accrual method of accounting.

The Partnership’s escrow agent holds earnest money deposits from a prospective purchaser when an agreement for sale is executed. Generally, these funds are not the Partnership’s until the closing has occurred or the buyer under the sale agreement has committed a default which would entitle the Partnership to the earnest money.

Except as described in footnote (b) of Item (2) on page 10, the Partnership uses the area 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. Repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

A presentation of information about operating segments would not be material to an understanding of the Partnership’s business taken as a whole as the Partnership is engaged in the business of real estate investment which management considers to be a single operating segment.

Notes to Financial Statements

(continued)

The Partnership has taken the steps necessary to reduce costs and maintain sufficient reserves of cash and cash equivalents to cover all our costs for an extended period of time. We have farm leases in place which generate sufficient income to cover the costs of insurance expense and real estate taxes. Our remaining land is not encumbered by debt and is located in areas that we believe are in the paths of future development. As such, at December 31, 2013, the Partnership has the ability and management has the intent to hold on to the remaining parcels until such time as reasonable and acceptable offers are received. In addition, on a quarterly basis, the Partnership reviews impairment indicators and if necessary, conducts an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each investment property does not exceed its estimated fair value. If an investment property is considered impaired, the Partnership would be required to record an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying value over the estimated fair value.

In determining the value of an investment property and whether the property is impaired, management considers several factors which require difficult, complex and/or subjective judgments, such as projected sales prices, capital expenditures, assessment of current economic conditions and management’s intent to hold on to a property until a reasonable and acceptable offer is received. These 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 judgment, 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.

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. Similarly, the Partnership is required to pay a withholding tax to the Illinois Department of Revenue for nonresident partners. The Partnership will first pay the withholding tax from the distributions to any nonresident and/or foreign partners, 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 such nonresident and/or foreign partners.

No provision for Federal income taxes has been made as the liability for such taxes is that of the Partners rather than the Partnership.

The Partnership’s records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP. The Federal income tax return has been prepared from such records after making appropriate adjustments, if any, to reflect the Partnership’s accounts as adjusted for Federal income tax reporting purposes. Such adjustments are not recorded in the records of the Partnership. The net effect of these items is summarized as follows:


	2013						2012
	GAAP Basis			Tax Basis (unaudited)			GAAP Basis		Tax Basis (unaudited)

Total assets	$	10,412,164			14,180,278			10,476,732		14,244,846

(2) Partnership Agreement

The Partnership Agreement prescribes the allocation of profits and losses, and the distribution priorities of available cash. If and to the extent that real estate taxes and insurance payable with respect to the Partnership’s land during a given year exceed revenues of the Partnership, the General Partner will make a Supplemental Capital Contribution of such amount to the Partnership to ensure that it has sufficient funds to make such payments and receive a special allocation of expenses in a like amount.

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 Partnership 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, the Partnership 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 Sales 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 the Partnership.

As a general rule, Net Sales Proceeds will be distributed 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partner until the Limited Partners have received from Net Sales 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 Parcel 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 Sales Proceeds have been distributed, the General Partner has received more than 25% of all Net Sales 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 Sales 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.

(3) Discontinued Operations and Investment Property Held for Sale

There were no land sales during the year ended December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Partnership had multiple land sales, all of which are included in discontinued operations. Sales of investment properties of $5,462,228 and cost of land sold of $4,843,189, resulting in a net gain on sale of $619,039, is the result of the sale of Parcel 24, consisting of approximately 212 acres, the sale of Parcel 25, consisting of 225 acres, and the sale of Parcel 14, consisting of approximately 76 acres. The net gain on sale for all investment property sold and the operations for all investment property sold for all periods presented are included in discontinued operations on the accompanying statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. There were no assets held for sale as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than ten percent of our partnership units to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of such reports. Based solely on a review of the copies provided to us and written representations from such reporting persons, we believe that all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements have been met for such reporting persons.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

We do not have any employees, and none of our executive officers receives any compensation from us. Accordingly, we hired no compensation consultants.

Our general partner is entitled to receive a share of cash distributions of net sales proceeds 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. Our general partner received distributions of $0 and $590,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

-33-

Our partnership agreement prescribes the allocation of profits and losses, and the distribution priorities of 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 and receive a special allocation of expenses in a like amount.

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.

We are permitted to engage in various transactions involving affiliates of our general partner, as described below.

Our general partner and its affiliates may be reimbursed for their expenses or out-of-pocket costs relating to our administration (as set forth under terms of the partnership agreement). For the year ended December 31, 2013, such costs included in general and administrative expenses to affiliates and professional services to affiliates were $50,873 of which $9,621 was unpaid as of December 31, 2013.

An affiliate of the general partner performs marketing and advertising services for us and is reimbursed (as set forth under terms of the partnership agreement) for direct costs. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred $160 of such costs, all of which was paid as of December 31, 2013.

An affiliate of the general partner performs land improvements, rezoning, annexation and other activities to prepare our investment properties for sale and is reimbursed for salaries and direct costs. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred $0 of such costs. The affiliate does not recognize a profit on any project.

As of December 31, 2013, the Partnership held all cash and cash equivalents with Inland Bank and Trust, an affiliate of the general partner.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

We do not maintain any equity compensation plans.

-34-

(a)	No person or group is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding units of our partnership.

No officer or director of our general partner possesses a right to acquire beneficial ownership of units of our partnership.

All of the outstanding shares of our general partner are owned by an affiliate or its officers and directors as set forth above in Item 10.

(c)	There exists no arrangement, known to us, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in our control.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

We do not currently have written, formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons, as defined by Item 404 of the SEC Regulation S-K. Our policies, however, contain provisions setting forth an ability to engage in certain transactions. Our audit committee reviews all of these transactions as well as any related party transactions.

There were no significant transactions or business relationships with the general partner, its affiliates or their management other than those described in Item 7 (Transactions with Related Parties) above. Reference is made to Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements (Item 8 of this Annual Report) for information regarding related party transactions.

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

Fees. Aggregate fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant, Grant Thornton, LLP were as follows:


	Years ended December 31,
	2013		2012
Audit fees for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and quarterly reviews of our financial statements.	$	50,290		46,515

Our audit committee has reviewed and approved all of the fees charged by Grant Thornton and actively monitors the relationship between audit and non-audit services provided by Grant Thornton. The audit committee concluded that all services rendered by Grant Thornton during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were consistent with maintaining Grant Thornton’s independence.

In addition, the audit committee must pre-approve all services provided by the company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the fees charged for these services including an annual review of audit fees, audit related fees, tax fees and other fees with specific dollar value limits for each category of service.
