PART I

Item 1. Business

The Registrant, 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") at $1,000 per Unit, pursuant to a
Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. 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 Partner's capital contribution of
$500. All of the holders of these Units have been admitted to the Partnership.
Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation is the General Partner. The Limited
Partners of the Partnership will share in their portion of benefits of
ownership of the Partnership's real property investments according to the
number of Units held. As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership has repurchased
a total of 311.65 Units for $306,721 from various Limited Partners through the
Unit Repurchase Program. Under this program, Limited Partners may, under
certain circumstances, have their Units repurchased for an amount equal to
their Invested Capital.

The Partnership is engaged in the business of real estate investment. A
presentation of information about industry segments would not be material to an
understanding of the Partnership's business taken as a whole.

The Partnership acquired fee ownership of the following real property
investments:

property investments.

The Partnership had purchased on an all-cash basis, twenty-seven parcels of
undeveloped land and two buildings and is engaged in the rezoning and resale of
the remaining parcels. All of the investments were made in the Chicago
metropolitan area. The anticipated holding period of the land is approximately
two to seven years from the completion of the land portfolio acquisitions. As
of December 31, 1997, the Partnership has had multiple sales transactions
through which it has disposed of approximately 914 acres of the approximately
4,480 acres originally owned.

The General Partner anticipates that land purchased by the Partnership will
produce sufficient income to pay property taxes, insurance and other
miscellaneous expenses. Income will be derived through leases to farmers or
from other activities compatible with undeveloped land. A majority of the
parcels purchased by the Partnership consist of land which generates revenue
from farming or other leasing activities. It is not expected that the
Partnership will generate cash distributions to investors from farm leases or
other activities.

The Partnership had no employees during 1997.

The terms of transactions between the Partnership and Affiliates of the General
Partner of the Partnership are set forth in Item 11 below and Note 3 of the
Notes to Financial Statements (Item 8 of this Annual Report) to which reference
is hereby made for a description of such terms and transactions.

The Partnership has reviewed its current computer systems and does not
anticipate any future costs or problems relating to the year 2000.


Item 2. Properties

The Partnership owns directly the parcels of land referred to in Item 1 and in
Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements (Item 8 of this Annual Report) to
which reference is hereby made for a description of said parcels.


Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Partnership is not subject to any material pending legal proceedings.


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during 1997.

PART II


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

As of December 31, 1997, there were 4,994 holders of Units of the Partnership.
There is no public market for Units nor is it anticipated that any public
market for Units will develop.

Although the Partnership has established a Unit Repurchase Program, funds for
the repurchase of Units are limited. Reference is made to "Unit Repurchase
Program" on pages 19-20 of the Prospectus of the Partnership dated October 25,
1989, which is incorporated herein by reference. As of December 31, 1997, the
Partnership had approximately $292,800 available for the repurchase of Units.

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 the Partnership's 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, federal, state or local regulations;
adverse changes in general economic or local conditions; uninsured losses; and
potential conflicts of interest between the Partnership and its Affiliates,
including the General Partner.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On October 25, 1989, the Partnership commenced an Offering of 30,000 (subject
to increase to 60,000) Limited Partnership Units pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. 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 Partner's capital contribution of $500. All of the
holders of these Units have been admitted to the Partnership. The Limited
Partners of the Partnership will share in their portion of benefits of
ownership of the Partnership's real property investments according to the
number of Units held.

The Partnership 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. As of
December 31, 1997, the Partnership has had multiple sales transactions through
which it has disposed of approximately 914 acres of the approximately 4,480
acres originally owned. As of December 31, 1997, cumulative distributions have
totaled $6,836,753 to the Limited Partners and $93,034 to the General Partner.
Of the $6,836,753 distributed to the Limited Partners, $6,115,753 was net sales
proceeds (which represents a return of Invested Capital, as defined in the
Partnership Agreement) and $721,000 was from operations. As of December 31,
1997, the Partnership has used $8,368,003 of working capital reserve for
rezoning and other activities. Such amounts have been capitalized and are
included in investment properties.

The Partnership's capital needs and resources will vary depending upon a number
of factors, including the extent to which the Partnership conducts 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 the Partnership's land, and the amount of revenue received from
leasing. As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership owns, in whole or in part,
twenty-four of its twenty-seven original parcels and one office building, the
majority of which are leased to local tenants and are generating sufficient
cash flow from leases to cover property taxes and insurance.




-8-


At December 31, 1997, the Partnership had cash, cash equivalents and
investments in marketable securities of $1,393,110, of which approximately
$292,800 is reserved for the repurchase of Units through the Unit Repurchase
Program. The remaining $1,100,310 is available to be used for the Partnership
expenses and liabilities, cash distributions to partners and other activities
with respect to some or all of its land parcels. The Partnership has increased
its parcel sales effort in anticipation of rising land values.

On July 7, 1997, the Partnership paid a distribution of $3,999,790 to the
Limited Partners resulting in cumulative distributions of $6,836,753. This
distribution was from net sales proceeds previously held on sales from Parcels
23 and 25.

The Partnership plans to enhance the value of its land through pre-development
activities such as rezoning, annexation and land planning. The Partnership has
already been successful in, or is in the process of, pre-development activity
on a majority of the Partnership's land investments. Parcel 1, annexed to the
Village of Huntley and zoned for residential and commercial development, has
improvements in planning stage and sites are being marketed to potential
buyers. Parcel 7, the Olde Mill Ponds on Boone Creek subdivision, has sixty-
five of the total 130 single-family lots under contract with a homebuilder, of
which twenty-nine have already closed (see Note 4 of the Notes to Financial
Statements for further discussion of Parcel 7). Parcel 18, zoned for multi-
and single-family use, is being marketed to potential homebuilders. Parcel 15
has been zoned with development and sales marketing underway. Parcel 23, the
Ponds at Mill Race Creek Subdivision, has 234 of the total 243 single-family
lots under contract with homebuilders, of which 129 have already closed (see
Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion on Parcel
23).

Results of Operations

Income from the sale of investment properties and cost of investment properties
sold for the year ended December 31, 1997 is the result of the sale of twenty-
nine lots at the Olde Mill Ponds on Boone Creek subdivision (Parcel 7) and the
sale of additional lots at the Ponds at Mill Race Creek subdivision (Parcel
23). As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership has sold 129 of the 243 single-
family lots at the Ponds of Mill Race Creek, in addition to the multi-family
portion, The Winding Waters of Mill Race Creek. Income from the sale of
investment properties and cost of investment properties sold for the year ended
December 31, 1996 is the result of the lot sales at the Mill Race Creek
Subdivision (Parcel 23), 5.538 acres of Parcel 22 and .87 acres of Parcel 8.
Income from the sale of investment properties and cost of investment properties
sold for the year ended December 31, 1995 is the result of the sales at the
Mill Race Creek Subdivision and of Parcel 25.













-9-


As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership owned twenty-four parcels of land
consisting of approximately 3,566 acres and one office building. Of the
approximately 3,566 acres owned, 3,045 acres are tillable, leased to local
farmers and generate sufficient cash flow to cover property taxes, insurance
and other miscellaneous expenses. The increase in rental income for the year
ended December 31, 1997, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996, is
due to annual increases in lease amounts from tenants. The decrease in rental
income and land operating expenses to Affiliates for the year ended December
31, 1996, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995, is due to the
decrease of the land portfolio as a result of land sales. The decrease in
rental income was partially offset by the annual increase in lease amounts from
tenants. Land operating expenses to non-affiliates decreased for the year ended
December 31, 1997, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996, is due to
decreases in assessments and grounds maintenance relating to Parcel 23 and real
estate taxes. Land operating expenses to non-affiliates increased for the year
ended December 31, 1996, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995, due
to an increase in assessments fees and grounds maintenance relating to Parcel
23. This increase was partially offset by decreases in repair and maintenance,
insurance and real estate taxes.

Interest income decreased for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to
the year ended December 31, 1996, due to the Partnership distributing net sales
proceeds of approximately $4,000,000 and using its working capital reserve to
fund pre-development activity on the Partnership's investment properties.
Interest income increased for the year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to
the year ended December 31, 1995, due to the Partnership replenishing its
working capital reserve from the sales at Parcels 23 and sale of Parcel 25 and
an increase in interest rates on short-term investments.

Professional services to Affiliates and non-affiliates increased for the year
ended December 31, 1997, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996, due
to an increase in legal and accounting services related to the increase in
sales activity within the Partnership. Professional services to Affiliates
decreased for the year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to the year ended
December 31, 1995, due to a decrease in legal and accounting services required
by the Partnership. Professional services to non-affiliates increased for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, as compared to the year ended December
31, 1994, due to an increase in legal and accounting fees.

General and administrative expenses to Affiliates decreased for the year ended
December 31, 1997, as compared to the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
due primarily to a decrease in investor services and data processing expenses.
General and administrative expenses to non-affiliates decreased for the year
ended December 31, 1997, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996 and
increased for the year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to the year ended
December 31, 1995, due primarily to the Illinois Replacement Tax paid by the
Partnership.

Marketing expenses to Affiliates decreased for the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995, and marketing
expenses to non-affiliates increased for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995, due to decreases in
expenses relating to marketing and advertising the Partnership's land
investments for sale paid to Affiliates and increases in advertising and travel
expenses relating to marketing the land portfolio to prospective purchasers
paid to non-affiliates.


-10-


Inflation

Inflation in future periods may cause capital appreciation of the Partnership's
investments in land. Rental income levels (from leases to new tenants or
renewals of existing tenants) will rise and fall in accordance with normal
agricultural market conditions and may or may not be affected by inflation.

To the Partners of

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Inland Land Appreciation
Fund II, L.P. (a limited partnership) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
related statements of operations, partners' capital, and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These statements are
the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Inland Land Appreciation Fund II, L.P. as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in

INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND II, L.P.
(a limited partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995


(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting

The Registrant, 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 pursuant to a Registration 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
Partner's capital contribution of $500. All of the holders of these Units have
been admitted to the Partnership. As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership has
repurchased a total of 311.65 Units for $306,721 from various Limited Partners
through the Unit Repurchase Program. Under this program, Limited Partners may,
under certain circumstances, have their Units repurchased for an amount equal
to their Invested Capital.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering costs have been offset against the Limited Partners' capital accounts.

The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents and are carried at
cost, which approximates market.

Investments purchased with a maturity of three months or more are considered to
be short-term investments and are carried at cost, which approximates market.

For vacant land parcels and parcels with insignificant buildings and
improvements, 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. For parcels with significant buildings and improvements (Parcel
24, described in Note 4), the Partnership records the buildings and
improvements at a cost based upon the appraised value at the date of
acquisition. Buildings and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line
method of depreciation over a useful life of thirty years. Repair and
maintenance expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Significant
improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)


Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of"
("SFAS 121") requires the Partnership to record an impairment loss on its
property to be held for investment whenever its carrying value cannot be fully
recovered through estimated undiscounted future cash flows from their
operations and sale. The amount of the impairment loss to be recognized would
be the difference between the property's carrying value and the property's
estimated fair value. As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership has
not recognized any such impairment.

The Partnership is required to pay a withholding tax to the Internal Revenue
Service with respect to a Partner's allocable share of the Partnership's
taxable net income, if the Partner is a foreign person. The Partnership will
first pay the withholding tax from the distributions to any foreign partner,
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 the foreign partner. Withholding tax payments are made
every April, June, September and December.

The Partnership records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Federal
income tax return has been prepared from such records after making appropriate
adjustments, if any, to reflect the Partnership's accounts as adjusted for
Federal income tax reporting purposes. Such adjustments are not recorded in the
records of the Partnership. The net effect of these items is summarized as
follows:
1997 1996
------------------------- ------------------------
Tax Tax

Limited Partners.......... 42,662,589 50,193,075 46,162,396 53,692,885

Net income:
General Partner........... 60 64 1,671 1,670

Net income per Limited
Partnership Unit, basic
and diluted............... 10.33 10.33 13.61 16.30

The net income per Unit, basic and diluted, is based upon the weighted average
number of Units of 50,172.77 and 50,193.51 during 1997 and 1996, respectively.

INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND II, L.P.
(a limited partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)


Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" was
adopted by the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 1997 and has been
applied to all prior earnings periods presented in the financial statements.
The Partnership has no dilutive securities.

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


(2) Partnership Agreement

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

Profits and losses from operations (other than capital transactions) will be
allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner. The net
gain from sales of Partnership properties is first allocated among the Partners
in proportion to the negative balances, if any, in their respective capital
accounts. Thereafter, except as provided below, net gain is allocated to the
General Partner in an amount equal to the proceeds distributed to the General
Partner from such sale and the balance of any net gain is allocated to the
Limited Partners. If the amount of net gain realized from a sale is less than
the amount of cash distributed to the General Partner from such sale, the
Partnership will allocate income or gain to the General Partner in an amount
equal to the excess of the cash distributed to the General Partner with respect
to such sale as quickly as permitted by law. Any net loss from a sale will be
allocated to the Limited Partners.

Distributions of Net 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 Partner's
10% share will be subordinated until the Limited Partners receive a return of
the Original Capital attributed to such parcel ("Parcel Capital") plus a 6% per
annum noncompounded Cumulative Preferred Return thereon.

INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND II, L.P.
(a limited partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)


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 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.


(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. Such costs are included in
professional services to Affiliates and general and administrative expenses to
Affiliates, of which $3,977 and $4,307 was unpaid as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

The General Partner is entitled to receive Asset Management Fees equal to one-
quarter of 1% of the original cost to the Partnership of undeveloped land
annually, limited to a cumulative total over the life of the Partnership of 2%
of the land's original cost to the Partnership. Such fees of $91,270, $92,022
and $98,391 have been incurred and paid for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively, and are included in land operating expenses to
Affiliates.

An Affiliate of the General Partner performed marketing and advertising
services for the Partnership and was reimbursed (as set forth under term of the
Partnership Agreement) for direct costs. Such costs of $26,204, $45,606 and
$77,784 have been incurred and are included in marketing expenses to Affiliates
for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, of which
$8,473 was unpaid as of December 31, 1997.

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. The Affiliate did not recognize a
profit on any project. Such costs of $139,696, $50,828 and $17,828 have been
incurred and paid for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, and are included in investment properties.
