INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND, L.P.
(a limited partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004
(unaudited)
Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, which are included in the Partnership's 2003 annual report, as certain footnote disclosures which would duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements have been omitted from this report.
(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting
The Registrant, Inland Land Appreciation Fund, L.P. (the "Partnership"), was formed in October 1987, pursuant to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, to invest in undeveloped land on an all-cash basis and realize appreciation of such land upon resale. On October 12, 1988, the Partnership commenced an offering of 10,000 (subject to increase to 30,000) limited partnership units ("Units") pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation is the General Partner. The offering terminated on October 6, 1989, with total sales of 30,000 Units, at $1,000 per Unit, not including the General Partner or the Initial Limited Partner. All of the holders of these Units were admitted to this Partnership. The Limited Partners of the Partnership share in their portion of benefits of ownership of the Partnership's real property investments according to the number of Units held. As of June 30, 2004, the Partnership has repurchased a total
of 407.75 Units for $359,484 from various Limited Partners through the Unit Repurchase Program.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented herein. Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.
Except as described in footnote (b) to Note 4 of these notes, the Partnership uses the area method of allocation, which approximates the relative sales method of allocation, whereby a per acre price is used as the standard allocation method for land purchases and sales. The total cost of the parcel is divided by the total number of acres to arrive at a per acre price.
In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46") "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities and Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51", which was revised in December 2003. The primary objectives of FIN No. 46 are to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights (Variable Interest Entities) and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the Variable Interest Entity (the Primary Beneficiary). The effective date for the Partnership is March 31, 2004. FIN 46 does not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial condition and results of operations.

(2) Transactions with Affiliates
The General Partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for salaries and expenses of employees of the General Partner and its affiliates relating to the administration of the Partnership. Such costs are included in professional services and general and administrative expenses to affiliates, of which $13,394 and $5,672 were unpaid as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
An affiliate of the General Partner performed marketing and advertising services for the Partnership and was reimbursed (as set forth under terms of the Partnership Agreement) for direct costs. Such costs of $11,084 and $5,842 have been incurred and are included in marketing expenses to affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, all of which was paid as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.
An affiliate of the General Partner performed property upgrades, rezoning, annexation and other activities to prepare the Partnership's land investments for sale and was reimbursed (as set forth under terms of the Partnership Agreement) for salaries and direct costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership incurred $96,239 and $194,274, respectively, of such costs. The affiliate did not recognize a profit on any project. Such costs are included in investments in land and improvements, of which $13,970 and $30,187 were unpaid as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

The General Partner determined that the maximum value of Parcels 1, 15, 21 and 23 could be realized if the parcels were developed and sold as individual lots. However, if the Partnership had followed that plan, there is a possibility that the Limited Partners may have been subject to unrelated business taxable income. Therefore, the Partnership sold the parcels to a third party developer whereby 100% of the sales price was represented by notes receivable from the buyer. These transactions were deemed installment sales. After the sale, the developer, through limited liability companies ("LLCs"), secured third party financing to cover the deferred down payment owed to the Partnership as well as provide proceeds to begin the development of the project. These sales were structured so that the down payment received at the time of the sale was sufficient to provide a distribution to the Limited Partners that equated to the parcel capital allocated to the parcel plus approximately a 6% return per annum on the parcel capital through the date of the distribution.

The General Partner guaranteed the third party development loans owed by these LLCs. In reviewing the developments' financial situation, the General Partner determined that it would be in its best interest to have an affiliate acquire the interests in the LLCs. The General Partner and its affiliates concluded that they could better control the continuing costs to complete these developments and would therefore have the best opportunity to limit their exposure under the guarantee agreements and possibly recover a portion of the amount owed to the Partnership. An affiliate of the General Partner contributed approximately $1,900,000 to acquire the interests in the LLCs. In 2003, the General Partner contributed approximately $2,400,000 to pay off the debt under its guarantee of the LLC loans. The affiliate of the General Partner will complete the development and the sale of these projects.
On December 6, 2000, the Partnership obtained a loan from the General Partner in the amount of $1,500,000 collateralized by Parcels 17, 18 and 22. During 2002, the General Partner advanced an additional $15,000. The note accrues interest at prime plus .5% and has a maturity date of November 30, 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, interest of $40,210 was capitalized. Accrued interest of $270,132 and $229,921 was unpaid as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
On September 17, 2002, the Partnership obtained a loan from the General Partner in the amount of $1,600,000, collateralized by Parcels 4, 6 and 7. The note accrues interest at a rate of prime plus .5% and has a maturity date of September 17, 2005. During 2004, the Partnership made principal payments totaling $577,891 on this note. The balance outstanding at June 30, 2004 was $363,791. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, interest of $17,469 was capitalized. Accrued interest of $103,080 and $85,611 was unpaid as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Item 2. 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 quarterly report on Form 10-Q constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, the ability to obtain annexation and zoning approvals required to develop our properties; the approval of local governing bodies to develop our properties; successful lobbying of local "no growth" or limited development homeowner groups; adverse changes in real estate, financing and general economic or local conditions; eminent domain proceedings; changes in the environmental con ditions or changes in the environmental positions of governmental bodies; and potential conflicts of interest between us and our affiliates, including our general partner.
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 405 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference room by calling the SEC at (800)-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site at (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically.
Critical Accounting Policies
On December 12, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial Reporting Release or FRR No. 60 "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies." A critical accounting policy is one that would materially effect our operations or financial condition, and requires management to make estimates or judgements in certain circumstances. We believe that our most critical accounting policies relate to how we value our investment properties and mortgage loans receivable and revenue recognition. These judgements often result from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The purpose of the FRR is to provide investors with an understanding of how management forms these policies. Critical accounting policies discussed in this section are not to be confused with accounting principles and methods disclosed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or GAAP. GAAP requires information in
financial statements about accounting principles, methods used and disclosures pertaining to significant estimates. The following disclosure discusses judgements known to management pertaining to trends, events or uncertainties known which were taken into consideration upon the application of those policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported upon taking into consideration different conditions and assumptions.
Valuation of Investment Properties - On a quarterly basis, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, we conduct an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each property does not exceed its estimated fair value. If this were to occur, we would be required to record an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying value over fair value.
In determining the value of an investment property and whether the property is impaired, management considers several factors such as projected capital expenditures and sales prices. The aforementioned factors are considered by management in determining the value of any particular property. The value of any particular property is sensitive to the actual results of any of these uncertain factors, either individually or taken as a whole. Should the actual results differ from management's judgement, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected.
The valuation and possible subsequent impairment of investment properties is a significant estimate that can and does change based on management's continuous process of analyzing each property.
- -15-
Cost Allocation - We use the area method of cost allocation, which approximates the relative sales method of cost allocation, whereby a per acre price is used as the standard allocation method for land purchases and sales. The total cost of the parcel is divided by the total number of acres to arrive at a per acre price.
Valuation of Mortgage Loans Receivable - On a quarterly basis, we conduct an analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each mortgage loan receivable is recoverable from the borrower. If we determine that all or a portion of the receivable is not collectible, we would be required to record an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the amount estimated to be uncollectible.
In determining the value of mortgage loans receivable, management considers projected sales proceeds available and expenses related to the property associated with the mortgage. Should the actual results differ from management's judgement, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected.
The valuation and possible subsequent allowance for doubtful accounts is a significant estimate that can and does change based on management's continuous process of analyzing each mortgage loan receivable.
Revenue Recognition - We recognize income from the sale of land parcels in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate".
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On October 12, 1988, we commenced an offering of 10,000 (subject to increase to 30,000) limited partnership units or units pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. On October 6, 1989, the offering terminated after we had sold 30,000 units to the public at $1,000 per unit resulting in $30,000,000 in gross offering proceeds, which does not include proceeds from the initial limited partner and the general partner. All of the holders of our units were admitted to our partnership. Our limited partners share in their portion of benefits of ownership of our real property investments according to the number of units held.
We used $25,187,069 of gross offering proceeds to purchase on an all-cash basis twenty-five parcels of undeveloped land and an option to purchase undeveloped land. These investments include the payment of the purchase price, acquisition fees and acquisition costs of such properties. Fourteen of the parcels were purchased during 1989 and eleven during 1990. As of June 30, 2004, we have had multiple sales transactions, through which we have disposed of approximately 1,889 acres, or 61%, of the approximately 3,102 acres originally owned. As of June 30, 2004, cumulative distributions to the limited partners have totaled $30,069,906 (which exceeds the original capital) and $3,554,592 to the general partner. Through June 30, 2004, we have used $17,707,632 of working capital for rezoning and other activities. Such amounts have been capitalized and are included in investments in land.
Our capital needs and resources will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the extent to which we conduct rezoning and other activities relating to utility access, the installation of roads, subdivision and/or annexation of land to a municipality, changes in real estate taxes affecting our land, and the amount of revenue received from leasing. As of June 30, 2004, we own, in whole or in part, twelve of our twenty-five original parcels, the majority of which are leased to local farmers and are generating sufficient cash flow from farm leases to cover property taxes and insurance.
At June 30, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6,531,345, 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.
- -16-
During the six months ended June 30, 2004 we have received net sales proceeds of approximately $16,600,000 from the sales of Parcels 4, 12 and 20. On March 24, 2004, we paid distributions totaling $10,000,000, which includes $7,864,450 paid to the limited partners and $2,135,550 paid to the general partner. In addition to these sales which occurred in 2004, we anticipate additional sales of Parcel 4 in 2004. Proceeds from these sales will be used to reduce the note payable to our general partner. Undistributed net sales proceeds will be used to cover our operations, including property upgrades, and to repay the note payable to our general partner, which matures November 30, 2004. We will evaluate our cash needs throughout the year to determine future distributions.
We plan to enhance the value of our land through pre-development activities such as rezoning, annexation and land planning. We have already been successful in, or are in the process of, pre-development activity on several of our land investments. Parcels 4, 6 and 7 have completed two phases of improvements for an industrial park and sites are being marketed. We have also begun planning and zoning on the residential portion of these parcels. Zoning and land planning discussions have begun on Parcels 14, 19, 17, 18 and 22.
Transactions with Related Parties
Our general partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for salaries and expenses of employees of the general partner and its affiliates relating to our administration. Such costs of $31,365 and $28,889 are included in professional services to affiliates and general and administrative expenses to affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, of which $13,394 and $5,672 was unpaid as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
An affiliate of our general partner performed marketing and advertising services for us and was reimbursed for direct costs. Such costs of $11,084 and $5,842 have been incurred and are included in marketing expenses to affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, all of which was paid as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.
An affiliate of the general partner performed property upgrades, rezoning, annexation and other activities to prepare our parcels for sale and was reimbursed for salaries and direct costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, we incurred $96,239 and $194,274, respectively, of such costs. The affiliate did not recognize a profit on any project. Such costs are included in investments in land, of which $13,970 and $30,187 was unpaid as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
On December 6, 2000, we obtained a loan from the general partner in the amount of $1,500,000 collateralized by Parcels 17, 18 and 22. During 2002, the general partner advanced an additional $15,000. The note accrues interest at prime plus .5% and has a maturity date of November 30, 2004. The principal balance outstanding at June 30, 2004 was $1,515,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, interest of $40,210 was capitalized. Accrued interest of $270,132 and $229,921 was unpaid as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
On September 17, 2002, we obtained a loan from the general partner in the amount of $1,600,000, collateralized by Parcels 4, 6 and 7. The note accrues interest at a rate of prime plus .5% and has a maturity date of September 17, 2005. During 2004, we made principal payments totaling $577,891 on this note. The principal balance outstanding at June 30, 2004 was $363,791. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, interest of $17,469 was capitalized. Accrued interest of $103,080 and $85,611 was unpaid as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
Results of Operations
As of June 30, 2004, we owned twelve parcels of land consisting of approximately 1,213 acres. Of the 1,213 acres owned, approximately 965 acres are tillable, leased to local farmers and generate sufficient cash flow to cover property taxes, insurance and other miscellaneous expenses. Rental income was $84,693 and $120,548 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in rental income is due to the decrease in tillable acres as a result of the sale of land.
-17-
Sales of investments in land and improvements of $16,610,135 and cost of land sold of $6,358,543 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 are a result of the sale of 2 lots of Parcel 4, the sale of approximately 90 acres of Parcel 12 and the sale of approximately 227 acres of Parcel 20. The increase in sales activity for the six months ended June 30, 2004 is the result of favorable zoning achieved as well as a change in our marketing approach to target homebuilders, industrial users and land developers.
Interest income was $25,475 and $8,990 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Interest income is primarily a result of cash available to invest on a short term basis during the period as a result of sales proceeds received.
Professional services to affiliates were $18,873 and $14,535 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Professional services to affiliates increased for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003, due to an increase in accounting and legal services as a result of increased sales activity.
Professional services to non-affiliates were $48,574 and $34,321 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Professional services to non-affiliates increased for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003, due to an increase in fees for accounting services.
General and administrative expenses to non-affiliates were $154,439 and $17,338 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in 2004 is due to state taxes accrued and paid as a result of the land sales.
We determined that the maximum value of Parcels 1, 15, 21 and 23 could be realized if the parcels were developed and sold as individual lots. However, if we had followed that plan, there is a possibility that the limited partners may have been subject to unrelated business taxable income. Therefore, we sold the parcels to a third party developer whereby 100% of the sales price was represented by notes receivable from the buyer. These transactions were deemed installment sales. After the sale, the developer, through limited liability companies or LLCs, secured third party financing to cover the deferred down payment owed to us as well as provide proceeds to begin the development of the project. These sales were structured so that the deferred down payment received was sufficient to provide a distribution to our limited partners that equated to the invested capital allocated to the parcel (parcel capital) plus approximately a 6% return per annum on the parcel capital through the date of the distribution.
The velocity of the developer's individual lot sales was slower than originally projected and consequently, the developer's carrying costs were higher. The developer obtained a loan from an affiliate of our general partner. These funds were used for operating costs and to continue the development of the projects. As a result of the slower lot sales, the net sale proceeds available to us are lower than anticipated. As of December 31, 2002, we had recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $767,248 relating to a portion of the accrued interest receivable on mortgage loans resulting from the sale of these parcels. In August 2003, we reviewed recent forecasts on these parcels, and determined that the collectibility of these receivables was doubtful. As a result, we elected to reserve an additional $2,302,787 of principal and accrued interest relating to the mortgages receivable in 2003. The deferred gain of $242,368 relating to the mortgage loans receivable was also reserved and recorded against bad debt expense in 2003.
- -18-
Our general partner guaranteed the third party development loans owed by these limited liability companies. In reviewing the developments' financial situation, our general partner determined that it would be in its best interest to have an affiliate acquire the interests in the LLCs. The general partner and its affiliates concluded that they could better control the continuing costs to complete these developments and would therefore have the best opportunity to limit their exposure under the guarantee agreements and possibly recover a portion of the amount owed to us. An affiliate of our general partner contributed approximately $1,900,000 to acquire the interests in these LLCs. Our general partner contributed approximately $2,400,000 to pay off the debt under its guarantee of the LLC loans. The affiliate of the general partner will complete the development and sale of these projects. Based on our review of developments' financial situation in early 2004, we do not anticipate receiving any additional proc eeds and anticipate we will write off these receivables in 2004. However, the write-off will not take place until such time as we are certain that no further proceeds will become available to reduce the amount of the receivables. Therefore, it is possible that the write-off will not occur until the later part of 2004. Our limited partners received distributions that equated to the parcel capital plus approximately a 6% return per annum on the parcel capital through the date of the distribution.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our general partner conducted, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information that is required to be disclosed in the periodic reports that we must file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2004 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control of financial reporting.
