INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND II, L.P.
(a limited partnership)
-2-
Table of Contents
Inland Land Appreciation Fund II, L.P. (the Partnership) 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 an 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 partners 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. Through December 31, 2017, we had repurchased a total of 408.65 units for $383,822 from various limited partners through the unit repurchase program.
We purchased on an all-cash basis, twenty-seven 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. Through December 31, 2017, we have had multiple sales transactions, disposing of approximately 4,486 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, we had no land sales. On April 15, 2016, the Partnership sold the remaining acreage of Parcel 8, resulting in net sales proceeds of $1,614,552. On November 17, 2016, the Partnership sold the farmland portion of Parcel 20, resulting in net sales proceeds of $2,084,246. There were two distributions of net sales proceeds during 2016 totaling $3,553,189. Net sales proceeds, including previously undistributed net sales proceeds, were used to fund our operations including land improvements and land use activities.
On January 10, 2017, the Partnership entered into a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement with a third party purchaser for the sale of approximately 30 acres of Parcel 20 at a sales price of $2,800,000. The contract was contingent on the purchaser obtaining necessary municipal approvals for a multi-family development. The agreement was amended to extend the due diligence period and the time period for purchaser to obtain such municipal approvals. An amendment also documented an agreed upon reduction of the original sales price to $2,425,000 following results of soil testing during due diligence. The purchaser waived all contingencies on January 24, 2018 and the sale closed on February 23, 2018.
On February 23, 2018, the Partnership entered into a Contract of Sale with an affiliate of the Partnerships general partner for the balance of Parcel 20 for a sales price of $715,410. The sale closed on March 5, 2018.
The Partnership will make a final liquidating distribution of net sales proceeds and remaining working capital reserve less an amount sufficient to cover the costs associated with closing the Partnership. The distribution is expected to occur by March 31, 2018.
We had no employees during 2017. 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 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 SECs 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.
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:
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.
Limited Current Income. With the exception of limited amounts of cash which may be generated from certain 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).
Litigation. We are a defendant from time to time in lawsuits relating to our business. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such litigation. An unfavorable outcome could negatively impact our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.
Partnership-Related Risks
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 II, L.P. Partnership Agreement and Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(j), we reached the maximum threshold of limited partnership units that may be transferred/assigned directly between parties during 2017. 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 under our partnership agreement and Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(j)). 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 partnership units through this qualified matching service, please contact Central Trade and Transfer directly at 877-704-6737. You are strongly encouraged to consult your personal legal, financial and tax advisors in connection with any such transfer/assignment.

Table of Contents
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 our parcel to constitute unrelated business taxable income (UBTI) and affect limited partners that are tax-exempt entities.
Tax liabilities may be greater than cash distributions. Each limited partner will be required to report the limited partners allocable share of our taxable net income on the limited partners 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.
Item 1(B). Unresolved Staff Comments
Not applicable.

(a) | Included in the purchase of Parcel 23 was a newly constructed 2,500 square foot house. The house was sold in March 1993. |
(b) | Included in the purchase of Parcel 24 was a 2,400 square foot office building. The building was sold in 2001. |
(c) | On September 16, 2002, the Partnership completed a tax-deferred exchange of Parcels 9 and 12 for 50 acres in Kendall County (Parcel 28). |
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. During 2017, our remaining parcel consisted of land which did not generate revenue from farming or other leasing activities and thus did not cover real estate taxes and insurance expense. Consequently, the general partner made a supplemental capital contribution of $13,317 to cover real estate taxes and insurance for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Item 5. Market for Partnerships Limited Partnership Units, Related Security Holder Matters and Partnership Purchases of Limited Partnership Units
As of February 15, 2018, there were 3,974 holders of our units. There is no public market for units nor is it anticipated that any public market for units will develop.
There were no distributions in 2017. There were two distributions of net sales proceeds during 2016. On June 17, 2016, the Partnership made a distribution to the limited partners of $1,600,000 less the $46,811 Illinois non-resident withholding repayment for a total distribution of $1,553,189. On December 19, 2016, the Partnership made a distribution to the limited partners of $2,000,000. The Partnership will make a final liquidating distribution of net sales proceeds and remaining working capital reserve less an amount sufficient to cover the costs associated with closing the Partnership. The distribution is expected to occur by March 31, 2018.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements in this Managements 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, adverse changes in real estate, financing and general economic or local conditions; the ability to obtain annexation and zoning approvals required to develop our property; the approval of local governing bodies to develop our property; 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 Securities and Exchange Commission 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 the 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
-11-
Table of Contents
expenditures, assessment of current economic conditions and managements intent to hold the remaining parcels until such time as reasonable and acceptable offers are 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 managements 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 managements continuous process of analyzing each property. During the first quarter of 2016, management formally changed its intent from holding the remaining parcels for an indefinite period of time to attempting to sell the parcels by the end of the year. Management deemed the change in intent as a trigger for impairment. Based on the knowledge of recent real estate market data gathered for the auction of Parcel 20 in 2016 and an offer received in 2017, management determined the value of the remaining parcel was impaired. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Partnership recorded an impairment of $1,235,000 and $2,680,000, respectively, on Parcel 20, which reduced the remaining book value to the estimated fair value. Subsequent costs incurred above the estimated fair value for the remaining parcel continue to be expensed and included in land operating expenses.
All other assets and liabilities are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
The Partnership follows Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the Partnership to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.
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. Parcel 20 has been written down to its estimated fair market value.
Revenue Recognition - We recognize income from the sale of land parcels in accordance with the full accrual method of accounting. Rental revenue is recognized as earned.
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 per 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.
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. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the carrying values of Parcel 8 and the farm portion of Parcel 20 were reduced to their respective fair value based on then projected net sales proceeds for sales which closed in 2016. The reduction to fair value resulted in a provision for loss on investment property held for sale of $585,937 for the year ended December 31, 2016. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, there was no investment property classified as assets held for sale.
-12-
Table of Contents
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 25, 1989 and October 24, 1991, we sold 50,476.17 limited partnership units to the public at $1,000 per unit resulting in $50,476,170 in gross offering proceeds, not including the general partners capital contribution of $500.
We used $41,314,301 of gross offering proceeds to purchase, on an all-cash basis, twenty-seven 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). Through December 31, 2017, we have had multiple sales, exchange transactions and conveyances, disposing of the buildings and approximately 4,486 acres of the approximately 4,530 acres originally owned. Through December 31, 2017, cumulative distributions have totaled $100,030,845 to the limited partners, which is equivalent to 198% of the original capital raised, which was $50,476,170, and cumulative distributions to the general partner have totaled $13,713,195. Of the $100,030,845 distributed to the limited partners, $99,309,845 was net sales proceeds and $721,000 was from operations. Through December 31, 2017, we have used $47,504,983 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. Our general partner has agreed to make a supplemental capital contribution to the Partnership, 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. Since there have been no farm leases in place since November 2016, the General Partner made a supplemental capital contribution of $13,317 to cover real estate taxes and insurance for the year ended December 31, 2017.
During 2017, there were no land sales. On April 15, 2016, we sold the remaining acreage of Parcel 8, resulting in net sales proceeds of $1,614,552. On November 17, 2016, we sold the farmland portion of Parcel 20, resulting in net sales proceeds of $2,084,246.
At December 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,890,301 which is available to be used for our costs and liabilities, cash distributions to partners and other activities with respect to our one land parcel. On June 17, 2016 the Partnership made a distribution to the limited partners of $1,600,000 less the $46,811 Illinois non-resident withholding repayment for a total distribution of $1,553,189. On December 19, 2016, the Partnership made an additional distribution to the limited partners of $2,000,000.
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 $76,537 and $82,737 are included in professional services to affiliates and general and administrative expenses to affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of which $8,699 and $16,190 was unpaid as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
An affiliate of our 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, 2017 and 2016, we incurred $0 and $1,289, respectively, of such costs. Such costs are included in investment properties, of which all was paid as of December 31, 2016. An affiliate of the general partner also supervises the maintenance of the parcels. Such costs of $4,462 and $7,417 are included in land operating expenses to affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of which $497 and $1,200 was unpaid as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The affiliate did not recognize a profit on any project.

Table of Contents
As of December 31, 2017, 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, 2017, we owned one parcel of land consisting of approximately 44 acres. As of December 31, 2016, there no longer is a farm lease in place. The farm lease terminated when the farmland portion of Parcel 20 was sold in November 2016. The rental income from this lease covered the real estate taxes and insurance expense for 2016. Rental income was $0 and $83,980 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Professional services to affiliates and non-affiliates were $132,139 and $148,604 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Professional services to affiliates and non-affiliates include accounting and legal services. The decrease is due primarily to a decrease in accounting and tax fees.
General and administrative expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates were $63,249 and $63,299 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. General and administrative expenses include data processing costs, postage, printing expenses, farm management fees and investor services.
Land operating expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates were $16,549 and $65,397 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These costs typically include real estate tax expense and insurance; however, the decrease in 2017 is due to the cost of a survey for Parcel 20 in 2016 and lower real estate taxes in 2017 due to the sale of Parcel 8 in 2016.
Interest income was $6,557 and $5,602 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Interest income is primarily a result of cash available to invest on a short term basis during the year as a result of sales proceeds received.
Other income was $4,200 and $4,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Other income is due primarily to transfer fee income as a result of the number of completed unit transfers. The increase in 2017 is due to an increase in the number of completed unit transfers.
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 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 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 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 partners 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.
-14-
Table of Contents
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
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 Partnerships 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.
On February 23, 2018, we sold approximately 30 acres of Parcel 20 for which we received approximately $2,287,000 in net sales proceeds, resulting in an approximate gain on sale of $111,000.
On February 23, 2018, the Partnership entered into a Contract of Sale with an affiliate of the Partnerships general partner for the balance of Parcel 20 for a sales price of $715,410. The sale closed on March 5, 2018. We received approximately $709,000 in net sales proceeds, resulting in an approximate gain on sale of $12,700.
There are no other subsequent events to report that would have a material impact on the Partnerships financial statements.
Other Items
In accordance with Article XVI Section 16.1 of the Inland Land Appreciation Fund II, L.P. Partnership Agreement and Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(j), we reached the maximum threshold of limited partnership units that may be transferred/assigned directly between parties during 2017. 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 partnership units through this qualified matching service, please contact Central Trade and Transfer directly at 877-704-6737. 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 taxable years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no withholdings required. You are encouraged to consult with your tax advisor in connection with the Illinois withholding requirements for nonresident partners. We are also required to pay a withholding tax to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to a partners 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 and recovered from a future distribution.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of
Inland Land Appreciation Fund II, L.P.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Inland Land Appreciation Fund II, L.P. (a Delaware limited partnership) (the Partnership) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related statements of operations, partners capital, and cash flows for each of the years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnerships financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnerships internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND II, L.P.
(a limited partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016
(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting
Inland Land Appreciation Fund II, L.P. (the Partnership) is a limited partnership formed on June 28, 1989, 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 25, 1989, the Partnership commenced an Offering of 30,000 (subject to increase to 60,000) Limited Partnership Units (Units) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the Partnership Agreement) provides for Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation to be the General Partner. On October 24, 1991, the Partnership terminated its 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 Partners capital contribution of $500. All of the holders of these Units have been admitted to the Partnership. Through December 31, 2017, the Partnership had repurchased a total of 408.65 Units for $383,822 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. Certain reclassifications were made to the 2016 financial statements to conform with the 2017 presentation.
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 institutions non-performance.
The Partnership recognizes income from the sale of land parcels in accordance with the full accrual method of accounting.
The Partnerships escrow agent holds earnest money deposits from a prospective purchaser when an agreement for sale is executed. Generally, these funds are not the Partnerships 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.
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. Repair 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 Partnerships 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.
The Partnership has taken the steps necessary to reduce costs and maintain sufficient reserves of cash and cash equivalents to cover our costs for an extended period of time as we continue to market the remaining parcel for sale. Our remaining parcel is not encumbered by debt and is located in an area that we believe is in the path of future development. During the first quarter of 2016, management formally changed its intent from holding the remaining parcels for an indefinite period of time to attempting to sell the remaining parcels by the end of the year. 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.

(continued)
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 managements intent to hold on to a property until such time as 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 managements 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 managements continuous process of analyzing each property.
The Partnership is required to pay a withholding tax to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to a Partners allocable share of the Partnerships 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 and recovered from a future distribution.
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 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 Partnerships 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:

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09 that introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Partnership has evaluated the impact of the adoption of this guidance and as a result of the evaluation does not expect it will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases, which requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying assets for the term, and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The standard requires the use of a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. Early application is permitted. The Partnership has evaluated the impact of the adoption of this guidance and as a result of the evaluation does not expect it will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As of December 31, 2016 and 2017, there are no longer any farm leases in place.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 that requires entities to estimate credit losses expected over the contractual life of financial assets measured at amortized costs based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Partnership has evaluated the impact of the adoption of this guidance and as a result of the evaluation does not expect it will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 that amends the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments, to reduce the diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
(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 Partnerships 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 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 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
-24-
Table of Contents
INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND II, L.P.
(a limited partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
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 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 the Partnership.
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 Partners 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 Sale Proceeds have been distributed, the General Partner has received more than 25% of all Net Sale Proceeds (exclusive of distributions made to the Limited Partners to return their Original Capital), the General Partner shall contribute to the Partnership for distribution to the Limited Partners an amount equal to such excess.
Any distributions from Net Sale Proceeds at a time when Invested Capital is greater than zero shall be deemed applied first to the reduction of such Invested Capital before application to payment of any deficiency in the 15% Cumulative Preferred Return.
The term of the Partnership shall continue until December 31, 2039, unless sooner terminated as provided in the Partnership Agreement.
(3) Investment Property Held for Sale
During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the carrying value of the investment property held for sale, Parcel 8, was reduced to its fair value based on the actual sale which occurred in April 2016 and resulted in a provision for loss on investment property held for sale of $320,937. During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the carrying value of the investment property held for sale, the farmland portion of Parcel 20, was reduced to its fair value of $2,061,813 resulting in a provision for loss on investment property held for sale of $265,000. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the provision for loss on investment property held for sale totaled $585,937 in regards to Parcel 8 and the farm portion of Parcel 20. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, there was no investment property classified as assets held for sale. See Note 5 for a discussion regarding the valuation of the remaining portion of Parcel 20.
(4) 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 of $76,537 and $82,737 are included in professional services to affiliates and general and administrative expenses to affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of which $8,699 and $16,190 was unpaid as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
An affiliate of the General Partner performs land improvements, rezoning, annexation and other activities to prepare the Partnerships investment properties for sale and is reimbursed (as set forth under terms of the Partnership Agreement) for salaries and direct costs. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Partnership incurred $0 and $1,289, respectively, of such costs. Such costs are included in investment properties, of which all was paid as of December 31, 2016. Also, an affiliate of the General Partner supervises the maintenance of the parcels. Such costs of $4,462 and $7,417 are included in land operating expenses to affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of which $497 and $1,200 was unpaid as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The affiliate does not recognize a profit on any project.
As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Partnership held all cash and cash equivalents with Inland Bank and Trust, an affiliate of the General Partner.
(5) Investment properties
As of December 31, 2017, the Partnership owned one parcel of land consisting of approximately 44 acres.
On January 10, 2017, the Partnership entered into a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement with a third party purchaser for the sale of approximately 30 acres of Parcel 20 at a sales price of $2,800,000. The contract was contingent on the purchaser obtaining necessary municipal approvals for a multi-family development. The agreement was amended to extend the due diligence period and the time period for purchaser to obtain such municipal approvals. An amendment also documented an agreed upon reduction of the original sales price to $2,425,000 following results of soil testing during due diligence. The purchaser waived all contingencies on January 24, 2018 and the sale closed on February 23, 2018.
On February 23, 2018, the Partnership entered into a Contract of Sale with an affiliate of the Partnerships general partner for the balance of Parcel 20 for a sales price of $715,410. The sale closed on March 5, 2018.
The Partnership will make a final liquidating distribution of net sales proceeds and remaining working capital reserve less an amount sufficient to cover the costs associated with closing the Partnership. The distribution is expected to occur by March 31, 2018.
(a) | The Partnership has taken the steps necessary to reduce costs and maintain sufficient reserves of cash and cash equivalents to cover all costs for an extended period of time. During April 2016, a farm lease was signed for the tillable portion of Parcel 20. The rental income from this lease covered the real estate taxes and insurance expense for 2016. The General Partner has agreed to make a supplemental capital contribution to the Partnership to the extent that real estate taxes and insurance payable with respect to the Partnerships land during a given calendar year exceeds the revenue earned by the Partnership from leasing its land during such year. Since there have been no farm leases in place since the farmland portion of Parcel 20 was sold in November 2016, the General Partner made a supplemental capital contribution of $13,317 for the real estate tax and insurance expense for the year ended December 31, 2017. |
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 the investment property does not exceed its estimated fair value. If this were to occur, the Partnership would be required to record an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value.

The valuation and possible subsequent impairment of investment properties is a significant estimate that can and does change based on managements continuous process of analyzing each property. During the first quarter of 2016, management formally changed its intent from holding the remaining parcels for an indefinite period of time to attempting to sell the remaining parcels by the end of the year. Management deemed the change in intent as a trigger for impairment. Based on the knowledge of recent real estate market data gathered for the auction of Parcel 20 in 2016 and an offer received in 2017, management determined the value of the remaining parcel was impaired. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Partnership recorded an impairment of $1,235,000 and $2,680,000, respectively, on Parcel 20, which reduced the remaining book value to the estimated fair value. Subsequent costs incurred above the estimated fair value for the remaining parcel continue to be expensed and included in land operating expenses.

There were no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

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, 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 sale 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 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 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.
-33-
Table of Contents
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 partners 10% share will be subordinated until the limited partners receive a return of the original capital attributed to such parcel or parcel capital plus a 6% per annum noncompounded cumulative preferred return thereon.
After the amounts described in items (i) and (ii) above and any previously subordinated distributions to the general partner have been paid, and the amount of any supplemental capital contributions have been repaid to the general partner, subsequent distributions shall be paid 75% to the limited partners and 25% to the general partner without considering parcel capital. If, after all net sale proceeds have been distributed, the general partner has received more than 25% of all net sale proceeds (exclusive of distributions made to the limited partners to return their original capital), the general partner shall contribute to 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 the reduction of such invested capital before application to payment of any deficiency in the 15% cumulative preferred return.
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 (as set forth under terms of the partnership agreement) for salaries and expenses of employees of the general partner and its affiliates relating to our administration. For the year ended December 31, 2017, such costs, included in general and administrative expenses to affiliates and professional services to affiliates, were $76,537 of which $8,699 was unpaid as of December 31, 2017.
An affiliate of our general partner performs land improvements, rezoning, annexation and other activities to prepare our investment properties for sale and is reimbursed (as set forth under terms of the partnership agreement) for salaries and direct costs. The affiliate does not recognize a profit on any project. No such costs were incurred for the year ended December 31, 2017. An affiliate of the general partner also supervises the maintenance of the parcels. Such costs of $4,462 are included in land operating expenses to affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2017, of which $497 was unpaid as of December 31, 2017.
As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Partnership held all cash and cash equivalents with Inland Bank and Trust, an affiliate of the general partner.

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.
We sold the balance of Parcel 20, which was our last parcel, to an affiliate of our general partner for a sales price of $715,410. There were no other 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.
