PART I

Item 1. Business


Inland's Monthly Income Fund, L.P. was formed on March 26, 1987 to invest in improved residential, retail, industrial and other income producing properties. On August 3, 1987, we commenced an offering of 50,000 (subject to an increase up to 60,000) limited partnership units or units pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The offering terminated on August 3, 1988, after we had sold 59,999 units at $500 per unit, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $29,999,500, not including our general partner's contribution of $500. All of the holders of our units were admitted to our partnership. Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation is our general partner. We acquired seven properties utilizing $25,831,542 of capital proceeds collected. Our limited partners share in the benefits of ownership of our real property investments in proportion to the number of units held. We repurchased 713 units for $356,676 from various limited partners through the unit repurchase program. There are no funds remaining for the repurchase of units through this program.


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 acquired fee ownership of the following real property investments:

Our real property investments are subject to competition from similar types of properties in the vicinity in which each is located. Approximate occupancy levels for the properties are set forth on a year-end basis in the table in Item 2 below to which reference is hereby made. Our real property investments are located in Illinois, Ohio and Oklahoma. We have no real property investments located outside the United States. We do not segregate revenues or assets by geographic region, and such a presentation would not be material to an understanding of our business taken as a whole.


The following is a list of our significant operating leases and the revenues from those leases as a percent of our gross income.

During January 2000, the leases with Elite were amended and extended for terms of five years each. As part of the lease extension on the Douglas Living and Retirement Center, Elite requested that they be released from the management of Douglas Towers, the 35-unit retirement apartment center. As Elite did not request any additional consideration, such as a rent reduction, we agreed and took over management of the apartments in May 2000. In August 2001, we sold the apartment center on an installment basis. As of August 1, 2002, the purchaser of the Douglas Towers apartment center ceased making the interest payments on the amount due to us. We did not record any additional interest income receivable subsequent to the cessation of interest payments. Our general partner continued to monitor the operations of the property. In December 2002, we took over management responsibilities of the property. Over the next several months, management realized that the expenses to hold and market the property were greate r than anticipated, and due to poor economic conditions in the property area, it was determined that it would be in the best interest of the investors to sell the property. At that time, management believed that the anticipated sales proceeds would exceed the carrying amount of the mortgage receivable. A foreclosure sale was held on June 11, 2003, and only one bidder expressed interest in the property. Rather than incur significant costs to improve the property, management accepted the offer on the property at the foreclosure sale for approximately $95,000. As a result of this offer, we recorded $367,318 of bad debt expense in 2003 relating to the mortgage receivable on the property. The sale was completed on July 15, 2003 and we received $89,655, net of prorations.

We entered into revised ten-year lease extensions with Elite, which began as of July 1, 2001. Under the new leases, Elite received a 10% rental rate reduction. Effective March 1, 2003, we executed amendments to the Elite leases, due to economic conditions in the nursing home industry, which eliminate the increases in rent over the term of the leases. In March 2005, we received a verbal offer from the tenant of the Douglas and Hillside nursing homes to acquire these properties contingent, however, upon the release of the $400,000 letter of credit which secures payment of the tenants' obligations under the Douglas and Hillside nursing homes and the Colonial Manor nursing home (owned by a separate partnership also managed by our general partner) on a joint and several basis and termination of all three leases. We are in the process of negotiating the terms of the contracts. There can be no assurance that these sales will be completed. Sales proceeds from the sale of the Douglas and Hillside nursing homes eq ual to an equitable proportionate share of the letter of credit may be allocated to reimburse the Colonial Manor loss which would have been covered under the letter of credit had it not been terminated. The tenants of the Douglas and Hillside nursing homes have not made their March 2005 rental and real estate tax escrow payments. If these sales do not occur, we would be entitled to our equitable proportionate share of the letter of credit.


In January 2005, we entered into a contract with an unaffiliated third party purchaser for the sale of the Duncan Wal-Mart property for $3,000,000. The tenant has exercised its right of first refusal and will purchase the property. A March 30, 2005 closing is anticipated.


When all these sales are completed, we anticipate terminating the partnership and making a final distribution to the partners shortly after the completion of the sales.


We also compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities in the disposition of property. The ability to locate purchasers for the properties will depend primarily on the operations of the properties and the desirability of the locations of the operating properties.


We had no employees during 2004.


Our general partner and its affiliates provide services to us. The 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 receives a property management fee for management and leasing services relating to our properties.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Certain statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, competition for tenants; federal, state, or local regulations; adverse changes in general economic or local conditions; uninsured losses; and potential conflicts of interest between us and our affiliates, including the general partner.


Critical Accounting Policies


On December 12, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial Reporting Release or FRR No. 60 "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies." A critical accounting policy is one that would materially affect 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, recognize revenue, and our cost capitalization and depreciation policies. 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 o f 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 rental and vacancy rates, property operating expenses, capital expenditures and interest rates. The capitalization and discount rates used to determine property valuation are based on the market in which the property is located, length of leases, tenant financial strength, the economy in general, demographics, environment, property location, visibility, age, physical condition and investor return requirements among others. All of 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. For the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded no such impairment.


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 several factors such as projected sales proceeds 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. For the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded no such allowance for doubtful accounts.


Revenue Recognition - Under GAAP, we are required to recognize rental income based on the effective monthly rent for each lease. The effective monthly rent is equal to the average monthly rent during the term of the lease, not the stated rent for any particular month. The process, known as "straight-lining" rent, generally has the effect of increasing rental revenues during the early phases of a lease and decreasing rental revenues in the latter phases of a lease. If rental income calculated on a straight-line basis exceeds the cash rent due under the lease, the difference is recorded as an increase in deferred rent receivable and included as a component of rental income in the accompanying Statements of Operations. If the cash rent due under the lease exceeds rental income calculated on a straight-line basis, the difference is recorded as a decrease in deferred rent receivable and is also included as a component of rental income in the accompanying Statements of Operations.


Cost Capitalization and Depreciation Policies - We review all expenditures and capitalize any item exceeding $5,000 deemed to be an upgrade or a tenant improvement. If we capitalize more expenditures, current depreciation expense would be higher, however, total current expenses would be lower. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 30 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and the remaining life of the related lease for tenant improvements.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


On August 3, 1987, we commenced an offering of 50,000 (increased to 60,000) limited partnership units or units pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The offering terminated on August 3, 1988, after we had sold 59,999 units at $500 per unit, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $29,999,500, not including the general partner's contribution of $500. All of the holders of our units have been admitted to our partnership. We acquired seven properties utilizing $25,831,542 of capital proceeds collected. During 1994 and 1995, we sold the thirty-eight six-unit condominium buildings comprising the Schaumburg Terrace condominium complex. Also, we sold one of the three lots adjacent to the Hillside Living Center during September 1997. In 2000, we sold McHenry Plaza and the Rantoul Wal-Mart. In 2001, we sold the 35-unit retirement apartment center which was part of the Douglas Living and Retirement Center. In June 2004, we sold the Scandinavian Health Club. As of December 31, 2004, cumulative distributions to limited partners totaled $50,870,106, including $2,095,863 of supplemental capital contributions from the general partner, which represents distributable cash flow from the properties. We repurchased 713 units for $356,676 from various limited partners through the unit repurchase program. There are no funds remaining for the repurchase of units through this program.


As of December 31, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of $799,240, which includes approximately $96,500 expected to be used for the payment of real estate taxes for Douglas and Hillside Living Centers. As of December 31, 2004, we have received prepayments on all of the original 37 mortgage loans receivable relating to the sale of Schaumburg Terrace. A portion of these repayment proceeds were included in the distributions to the limited partners. We intend to use the remaining funds for future distributions and for working capital requirements.


Our $1,515,000 debt, collateralized by the Duncan Wal-Mart, matured on April 30, 2004. Our lender approved a six month extension of this loan to October 31, 2004. The extension required interest only payments at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points. On June 30, 2004 we sold the Scandinavian Health Club. Sales proceeds of $1,515,000 were used to retire the Duncan Wal-Mart debt in July 2004.

Due to the payoff of the mortgage receivables relating to the sale of Schaumburg Terrace and additional property expenses incurred relating to Douglas Towers, the properties we own, along with the interest received on the Schaumburg Terrace mortgage receivables, did not generate sufficient cash flow to meet the 8% annualized distributions to the limited partners (paid monthly), in addition to covering all our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004. As a result, we have relied on working capital retained from the principal payoffs of the Schaumburg Terrace receivable to meet our cash requirements. To the extent that future cash flow is insufficient to meet our requirements, we may rely on working capital reserve, supplemental capital contributions from our general partner, advances from affiliates of our general partner, other short-term financing, or may sell one or more of the properties.


We executed an amendment of the SHS lease through September 30, 2013. Annual base rent increased from $359,094 to $383,231 per year commencing April 1, 2003. As part of the extension, we paid $400,000 for tenant improvements and equipment at the property. On June 30, 2004 we sold the Scandinavian Health Club.


Due to conditions in the nursing home industry, we executed amendments to the Elite leases, effective March 1, 2003, which eliminate the increases in rent over the term of the leases. In March 2005, we received a verbal offer from the tenant of the Douglas and Hillside nursing homes to acquire these properties contingent, however, upon the release of the $400,000 letter of credit which secures payment of the tenants' obligations under the Douglas and Hillside nursing homes and the Colonial Manor nursing home (owned by a separate partnership also managed by our general partner) on a joint and several basis and termination of all three leases. We are in the process of negotiating the terms of the contracts. There can be no assurance that these sales will be completed. Sales proceeds from the sale of the Douglas and Hillside nursing homes equal to an equitable proportionate share of the letter of credit may be allocated to reimburse the Colonial Manor loss which would have been covered unde r the letter of credit had it not been terminated. The tenants of the Douglas and Hillside nursing homes have not made their March 2005 rental and real estate tax escrow payments. If these sales do not occur, we would be entitled to our equitable proportionate share of the letter of credit.


In January 2005, we entered into a contract with an unaffiliated third party purchaser for the sale of the Duncan Wal-Mart property for $3,000,000. The tenant has exercised its right of first refusal and will purchase the property. A March 30, 2005 closing is anticipated.


When all these sales are completed, we anticipate terminating the partnership and making a final distribution to the partners shortly after the completion of the sales.



Transactions with Related Parties


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 $61,445, $73,825 and $44,994 are included in professional services to affiliates and general and administrative expenses to affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, of which $3,741 and $11,702 remained unpaid at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.


An Affiliate of the General Partner is entitled to receive property management fees for management and leasing services. The Partnership has incurred property management fees of $13,702, $15,656 and $15,336 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Such fees are included in property operating expenses to Affiliates, all of which have been paid as of December 31, 2004.


In connection with the sale of McHenry Plaza Shopping Center on July 19, 2000 and the sale of Rantoul Wal-Mart on August 5, 2000, the Partnership recorded $151,200 of sales commission payable to an affiliate of the general partner. As of December 31, 2004, such commissions have been written off.

-11-



In connection with the sale of Douglas Towers on August 24, 2001, the Partnership recorded $5,635 of sales commission payable to an affiliate of the general partner. This commission was written off against the bad debt expense in 2003.


Results of Operations


As of December 31, 2004, we own three operating properties. All of these properties were leased on a "triple-net" basis which means that all expenses of the property are passed through to the tenant.


The gain on the sale of investment property recorded for the year ended December 31, 2004 includes $1,451,873 as a result of the sale of the Scandinavian Health Club on June 30, 2004. In addition, the gain on the sale of investment property recorded for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 is the result of deferred gain of $58,121, $59,482 and $649,215, respectively, from the Schaumburg Terrace condominium sales being recognized as cash is received on the related financing extended by the Partnership to the individual purchasers. In connection with the sale of McHenry Plaza Shopping Center on July 19, 2000 and the sale of Rantoul Wal-Mart on August 5, 2000, the Partnership recorded $151,200 of deferred sales commission payable to an affiliate of the general partner. As of December 31, 2004, such commissions have been written off and recorded as deferred gain recognized.


Rental income was $1,088,737, $1,088,736 and $1,200,791 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in 2003 is the result of the modification to the Elite leases to eliminate the increases over the term of the leases. This reduced the effective annual rent received. We entered into revised ten-year lease extensions with Elite, which began as of July 1, 2001. Under the new lease, Elite received a 10% rental rate reduction. Effective March 1, 2003, due to conditions in the nursing home industry, we executed amendments to the Elite leases which eliminate the increases in rent over the term of the leases.


Interest income was $23,025, $36,463 and $187,908 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease is due to a decrease in interest income on third party mortgages, as a result of prepayments of mortgage loans receivable.


Professional services to Affiliates were $20,221, $28,290 and $15,273 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in 2003 was due to an increase in accounting and legal fees paid to affiliates.


General and administrative expenses to affiliates were $41,224, $45,535 and $29,721 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in 2003 is due to increases in investor service expenses, mortgage service expenses and supplies. General and administrative expenses to non-affiliates were $33,777, $55,858 and $38,727 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses to non-affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2003, is due primarily to an increase in state taxes paid and accrued.


Property operating expenses to non-affiliates were $4,052, $64,743 and $1,043 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. During 2003, property operating expenses to non-affiliates increased due to property level expenses relating to Douglas Towers that we paid while in the process of obtaining title to the property.


- -12-


In 2001, we sold the Douglas Towers apartment center on an installment basis and recorded a note receivable from the purchaser. As of August 1, 2002, the purchaser of the Douglas Towers apartment center had ceased making the interest payments on the amount due to us. We did not record any additional interest income receivable subsequent to the cessation of interest payments. Our general partner continued to monitor the operations of the property. In December 2002, we took over management responsibilities of the property. Over the next several months, management realized that the expenses to hold and market the property were greater than anticipated, and due to poor economic conditions in the property area, it was determined that it would be in the best interest of the investors to sell the property. At that time, management believed that the anticipated sales proceeds would exceed the carrying amount of the mortgage receivable. A foreclosure sale was held on June 11, 2003, and only one bidder expressed interest in the property. Rather than incur significant costs to improve the property, management accepted the offer on the property at the foreclosure sale for approximately $95,000. As a result of this offer, we recorded $367,318 of bad debt expense in 2003 relating to the mortgage receivable on the property. The sale was completed on July 15, 2003 and we received $89,655, net of prorations.


Subsequent Events


On January 10, 2005, we paid a distribution of $93,534 to the limited partners.


On February 15, 2005, the partnership received a supplemental capital contribution from the general partner in the amount of $1,243,490.


Our Partnership Agreement


Our partnership agreement defines the allocation of distributable available cash and profits and losses. Limited partners will receive 100% of cash available for distribution until the limited partners have received a cumulative preferred return of 8% per annum. Thereafter, the general partner shall be allocated an amount equal to any supplemental capital contributions outstanding at the time of the distribution and then 95% of cash available for distribution will be allocated to the limited partners and 5% will be allocated to the general partner.


Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, our profits and losses from operations are allocated as follows:

  1. Depreciation shall be allocated 99% to the taxable limited partners and 1% to the general partner.
  2. To the extent the minimum distribution of 8% per annum to the limited partners is funded by supplemental capital contributions, the distribution shall be treated as a guaranteed payment, and the resulting deduction shall be allocated to the general partner.
  3. The remaining net profits shall be allocated 100% to the limited partners until the limited partners have been allocated an amount equal to the distribution required to provide them a cumulative preferred return of 8% per annum.


We allocate income to partners such that no partner group will receive an allocation of income which is greater than our net income for the related period.


Our general partner is required to make supplemental capital contributions, if necessary, from time to time in amounts sufficient to allow us to make distributions to the limited partners to provide a noncompounded return on their invested capital equal to 8% per annum. There were no such contributions by the general partner to fund the cumulative preferred return of 8% per annum for the three-year period ended December 31, 2004. The cumulative amount of such supplemental capital contributions at December 31, 2004 is $2,095,863.

Inflation


Rental income and operating expenses for our properties operated under triple-net leases are not likely to be directly affected by future inflation, since rents are fixed under the leases and property expenses are the responsibility of tenants. The capital appreciation of triple-net-leased properties is likely to be influenced by interest rate fluctuations. To the extent that inflation affects interest rates, future inflation may have an effect on the capital appreciation of triple-net-leased properties.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Partners of
Inland Monthly Income Fund, L.P.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Inland Monthly Income, L.P. (a limited partnership) ("the Partnership") as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital, and cash flows for the year 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 audit.


We conducted our audit 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. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 stat ement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Monthly Income Fund, L.P. at December 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INLAND'S MONTHLY INCOME FUND, L.P.
(a limited partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002

(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting


Inland's Monthly Income Fund, L.P. (the "Partnership"), was formed on March 26, 1987 pursuant to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, to invest in improved residential, retail, industrial and other income producing properties. On August 3, 1987, the Partnership commenced an Offering of 50,000 (subject to an increase up to 60,000) Limited Partnership Units ("Units") pursuant to a Registration under the Securities Act of 1933. The Offering terminated on August 3, 1988, with total sales of 59,999 Units at $500 per Unit, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $29,999,500, not including the General Partner's contribution of $500. All of the holders of these Units were admitted to the Partnership. Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation is the General Partner. The Limited Partners of the Partnership share in the benefits of ownership of the Partnership's real property investments in proportion to the number of Units held. The Partnership repurchased 713 Units for $356,676 from var ious Limited Partners through the Unit Repurchase Program. There are no funds remaining for the repurchase of Units through this 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 disclosures 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 these estimates. Certain reclassifications were made to the 2002 and 2003 financial statements to conform with the 2004 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 which are carried at cost, which approximates market.


On January 1, 2003, the Partnership adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45") "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34". FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. FIN 45 also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material effect on the Partnership's financial statements.


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 was March 31, 2004. FIN 46, as revised, did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial condition and results of operations.

INLAND'S MONTHLY INCOME FUND, L.P.
(a limited partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150 ("SFAS 150") "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This statement establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments as liabilities that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The provisions of SFAS No. 150 did not have an impact on the Partnership's financial condition and results of operations.


In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", ("SFAS No. 144"). SFAS 144 addresses accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121. The Partnership adopted the provisions of this statement beginning January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144 established new rules for the recognition, measurement and reporting of long-lived assets which are impaired and either held for sale or in use by the Partnership. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Partnership.


A presentation of information about operating segments as required in SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" 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.


Effective January 1, 2001, the Partnership adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended by SFAS Nos. 137, 138 and 149. This statement standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments by requiring that an entity recognize those items as assets or liabilities in the statements of financial position and measure them at fair value. It also provides for matching the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of (a) the changes in fair value of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk or (b) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. The net impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 133 had no effect on the Partnership's financial statements.


Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives. Buildings and improvements are based upon estimated useful lives of 30 to 40 years. Repair and maintenance expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Significant improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Tenant improvements are depreciated over the related lease term.


Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on the straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable.

Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)

Deferred leasing fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Deferred loan fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related loan.


Loan fees relating to the mortgage loans receivable are deferred and amortized as yield adjustments on a straight-line basis over the life of the related mortgage loan receivable which approximates the effective interest rate method.


In November 2004, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) released Issue No. 03-13, "Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations." To qualify as a discontinued operation, paragraph 42 of Statement 144 requires that the cash flows of the disposed component be eliminated from the operations of the ongoing entity and that the ongoing entity not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the disposed component after the disposal transaction. EITF 03-13 provides guidance on how to interpret and apply the criteria in paragraph 42A (elimination of cash flows) and paragraph 42B (no significant continuing involvement) of Statement 144. EITF 03-13 is effective for all periods beginning after December 15, 2004. The Company does not believe that the adoption of EITF 03-13 will have a significant effect on its financial statem ents.


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 relating to depreciation and the Supplemental Capital Contributions (Note 2) 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:

(2) Partnership Agreement


The Partnership Agreement defines the allocation of distributable available cash and profits and losses. Limited Partners will receive 100% of cash available for distribution until the Limited Partners have received a cumulative preferred return of 8% per annum. Thereafter, the General Partner shall be allocated an amount equal to any Supplemental Capital Contributions outstanding at the time of the distribution and then 95% of cash available for distribution will be allocated to the Limited Partners and 5% will be allocated to the General Partner.


Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the profits and losses of the Partnership from operations are allocated as follows:

  1. Depreciation shall be allocated 99% to the taxable Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner.
  2. To the extent the minimum distribution of 8% per annum to the Limited Partners is funded by Supplemental Capital Contributions, the distribution shall be treated as a guaranteed payment, and the resulting deduction shall be allocated to the General Partner.
  3. The remaining net profits shall be allocated 100% to the Limited Partners until the Limited Partners have been allocated an amount equal to the distribution required to provide them a cumulative preferred return of 8% per annum.


The Partnership allocates income to Partners such that no Partner group will receive an allocation of income which is greater than the Partnership's net income for the related period.


The General Partner is required to make Supplemental Capital Contributions, if necessary, from time to time in amounts sufficient to allow the Partnership to make distributions to the Limited Partners to provide a noncompounded return on their invested capital equal to 8% per annum. There were no such contributions by the General Partner to fund the cumulative preferred return of 8% per annum for the three-year period ended December 31, 2004. The cumulative amount of such Supplemental Capital Contributions at December 31, 2004 is $2,095,863.

(3) 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, of which $3,741, and $11,702 remained unpaid at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.


An Affiliate of the General Partner is entitled to receive property management fees for management and leasing services. The Partnership has incurred property management fees of $13,702, $15,656 and $15,336 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Such fees are included in property operating expenses to Affiliates, all of which have been paid as of December 31, 2004.


In connection with the sale of McHenry Plaza Shopping Center on July 19, 2000, the Partnership recorded $68,700 of sales commission payable to an affiliate of the general partner. As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership has written off the deferred commission payable and recorded gain of $68,700.


In connection with the sale of Rantoul Wal-Mart on August 5, 2000, the Partnership recorded $82,500 of sales commission payable to an affiliate of the general partner. As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership has written off the deferred commission payable and recorded gain of $82,500.


In connection with the sale of Douglas Towers on August 24, 2001, the Partnership recorded $5,635 of sales commission payable to an affiliate of the general partner. This commission was written off against the bad debt expense in 2003.



(4) Investment Properties


Scandinavian Health Spa, Inc., Westlake, Ohio


On April 20, 1988, the Partnership purchased an existing 26,040 square foot health and racquet club known as Scandinavian Health Spa, located in Westlake, Ohio. The total cost of this property to the Partnership was $3,068,930, which includes the purchase price of $2,760,000 and acquisition costs of $308,930. The original lease was scheduled to expire in December 2004 and the tenant had the option to extend the lease for two additional five-year periods.


In 2003, the Partnership and tenant executed an amendment of this lease through September 30, 2013. Annual base rent increased from $359,094 to $383,231 per year commencing April 1, 2003. As part of the extension, the Partnership paid $400,000 for tenant improvements and equipment at the property. On June 30, 2004, the property was sold for approximately $3,557,000, net of costs, and a gain of $1,451,873 was recorded.

Duncan Wal-Mart, Duncan, Oklahoma


On August 5, 1988, the Partnership purchased a Wal-Mart store in Duncan, Oklahoma from Wal-Mart Properties, Inc. The cost to the Partnership was $3,038,547, which includes acquisition fees of $305,829. The property is situated on approximately 11.5 acres of land and contains a total of 68,907 square feet. The construction of the store was completed in the fall of 1987. The lease expires in January 2014 and the tenant has the option to extend the lease for five additional five-year periods. The tenant has leased 100% of the rentable space on a triple-net basis for a current monthly amount of $22,203. As of September 2000, this store has been vacated by the lessee, however the lessee is obligated to continue to pay rent until the expiration of the lease term under a guarantee of the lease.



Douglas Living and Retirement Center, Mattoon, Illinois


On January 13, 1988, the Partnership took title to this property, which an Affiliate of the General Partner purchased on behalf of the Partnership from an unaffiliated third party for $3,208,250. The property consisted of a 75 bed nursing care facility occupying 27,922 square feet, a 35-unit retirement apartment center occupying 36,389 square feet and a 1,350 square foot retirement duplex. The total cost of this property to the Partnership was $3,574,465, which includes the purchase price of $3,208,250 and acquisition costs of $366,215. The center is currently 100% leased to Elite Care Corporation ("Elite"). The lease is a triple-net lease and expired January 2001. In January 2000, the lessee exercised its rights and extended the lease term for a period of five years through January 2006. As part of the lease extension, Elite requested that they be released from the management of the 35-unit retirement apartment center. As Elite did not request any additional consideration at this time, such as a rent reduction, the Partnership agreed and took over management of the apartments in May 2000.


The Partnership sold the apartment center in August 2001 on an installment basis. As of August 1, 2002, the purchaser of the Douglas Towers apartment center ceased making the interest payments on the amount due to the Partnership. The Partnership did not record any additional interest income receivable subsequent to the cessation of interest payments. The General Partner continued to monitor the operations of the property. In December 2002, the Partnership was appointed mortgagee in possession and took over management responsibilities of the property. Over the next several months, management realized that the expenses to hold and market the property were greater than anticipated, and due to poor economic conditions in the property area, it was determined that it would be in the best interest of the investors to sell the property. At that time, management believed that the anticipated sales proceeds would exceed the carrying amount of the mortgage receivable. A foreclosure sale was held on June 11, 2003, and only one bidder expressed interest in the property. Rather than incur significant costs to improve the property, management accepted the offer on the property at the foreclosure sale for approximately $95,000. As a result of this offer, the Partnership recorded $367,318 of bad debt expense relating to the mortgage receivable on the property. The sale was completed on July 15, 2003 and the Partnership received $89,655, net of prorations.


The Partnership and Elite entered into a revised ten-year lease extension, which began as of July 1, 2001. Under the new lease, Elite received a 10% rental rate reduction. The Partnership executed an amendment to the Elite lease, effective March 1, 2003, which eliminated the increases in rent over the term of the lease. The current rent per annum is $442,833.

Hillside Living Center, Yorkville, Illinois


On January 29, 1988, the Partnership took title to this property which an Affiliate of the General Partner purchased on behalf of the Partnership from an unaffiliated third party for $2,870,000. The property consists of a two-story building with a total of 21,565 square feet. The total cost of this property to the Partnership was $3,195,713, which includes the purchase price of $2,870,000 and acquisition costs of $325,713. The center is currently 100% leased to Elite Care Corporation. The lease is a triple-net lease and expired January 2001. In January 2000, the lessee exercised its rights and extended the lease term for a period of five years through January 2006.


The Partnership and Elite entered into a revised ten-year lease extension, which began as of July 1, 2001. Under the new lease, Elite received a 10% rental rate reduction. The Partnership executed another amendment to the Elite lease, effective March 1, 2003, which eliminated the increases in rent over the term of the lease. The current rent per annum is $396,144.

(7) Long-Term Debt


On April 30, 1999, the Partnership refinanced the original $1,700,000 loan collateralized by the Rantoul Wal-Mart. The replacement loan was for $2,500,000 and was collateralized by the Rantoul Wal-Mart and the Duncan Wal-Mart. Due to the sale of the Rantoul Wal-Mart, $985,000 was repaid in 2000. The replacement loan required monthly interest only payments, at an interest rate of 6.97%, as compared to the interest rate of 9.75% on the original loan, and matured on April 30, 2004. The lender approved a six month extension of this loan to October 31, 2004. The extension required interest only payments at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points. In July 2004, this debt was retired with the proceeds from the sale of the Scandinavian Health Club.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Independent Auditors on Accounting and Financial Disclosure


On January 27, 2005, our audit committee engaged Grant Thornton LLP ("Grant Thornton") to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm effective immediately. In addition, on January 27, 2005, our audit committee accepted notice from Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte"), its current independent registered public accounting firm, indicating that, effective immediately, Deloitte will resign as our independent registered public accounting firm.


The reports of Deloitte on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion or explanatory paragraphs and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.


In connection with Deloitte's audits of our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, there were no disagreements with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such periods. During the our two most recent fiscal years, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.


We provided Deloitte a copy of the Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and requested Deloitte to furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether Deloitte agreed with the above statements made by us and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. We filed Deloitte's response with the SEC on Form 8-K.


We did not consult Grant Thornton regarding (i) either the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements; as such, no written or oral advice was provided, and none was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues; or (ii) any matter that was a subject of a disagreement or reportable event with Deloitte (as there were none).


Item 9 (a). Controls and Procedures


The 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 the Annual 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 significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2004 that have materially effected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.


Item 9 (b). Other Information


Not applicable.

- -39-


Item 11. Executive Compensation


Our general partner is entitled to receive a share of cash distributions, when the cumulative preferred return in excess of 8% has been made to the limited partners, and a share of profits or losses.


Our partnership agreement defines the allocation of distributable available cash and profits and losses. Limited partners will receive 100% of cash available for distribution until the limited partners have received a cumulative preferred return of 8% per annum. Thereafter, the general partner shall be allocated an amount equal to any supplemental capital contributions outstanding at the time of the distribution and then 95% of cash available for distribution will be allocated to the limited partners and 5% will be allocated to the general partner.


Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, our profits and losses from operations are allocated as follows:

  1. Depreciation shall be allocated 99% to the taxable limited partners and 1% to the general partner.
  2. To the extent the minimum distribution of 8% per annum to the limited partners is funded by supplemental capital contributions, the distribution shall be treated as a guaranteed payment, and the resulting deduction shall be allocated to the general partner.
  3. The remaining net profits shall be allocated 100% to the limited partners until the limited partners have been allocated an amount equal to the distribution required to provide them a cumulative preferred return of 8% per annum.


We allocate income to partners such that no partner group will receive an allocation of income which is greater than our net income for the related period.


Our general partner is required to make supplemental capital contributions, if necessary, from time to time in amounts sufficient to allow us to make distributions to the limited partners to provide a noncompounded return on their invested capital equal to 8% per annum. There were no such contributions by the general partner to fund the cumulative preferred return of 8% per annum for the three-year period ended December 31, 2004. The cumulative amount of such supplemental capital contributions at December 31, 2004 is $2,095,863.


The partnership is permitted to engage in various transactions involving affiliates of our general partner.


Our general partner and its affiliates may be reimbursed for salaries and direct expenses of employees of the general partner and its affiliates relating to our administration. In 2004, these expenses amounted to $61,445, of which $3,741 was unpaid at December 31, 2004.


Affiliates of the general partner earned $13,702 in management fees for the year ended December 31, 2004 in connection with managing certain of our properties. All of these fees were paid prior to December 31, 2004.
