PART I
Item 1. | Business |
Inland Land Appreciation Fund II, L.P. was formed on June 28, 1989, to invest in undeveloped land on an all-cash basis and realize appreciation of such land upon resale. On October 25, 1989, we commenced an offering of 30,000 (subject to an increase to 60,000) limited partnership units, or units, at $1,000 per unit, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. On October 24, 1991, we terminated our offering of units, after we sold 50,476.17 units, at $1,000 per unit, resulting in $50,476,170 in gross offering proceeds, not including our general partners capital contribution of $500. All of the holders of our units were admitted to our partnership. Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation is our general partner. Our limited partners share in their portion of benefits of ownership of our real property investments according to the number of units held. Through December 31, 2010, we had repurchased a total of 408.65 units for $383,822 from various limited partners through the unit repurchase program.
We purchased on an all-cash basis, 27 parcels of undeveloped land and two buildings and are engaged in the rezoning and resale of the parcels. On September 16, 2002, we completed a tax-deferred exchange of Parcels 9 and 12 for 50 acres in Kendall County (Parcel 28). All of the investments were made in the Chicago metropolitan area. The anticipated holding period of the land was approximately two to seven years from the completion of the land portfolio acquisitions. As a result of the lengthy rezoning and entitlement processes and the no growth mentality of the municipalities where the land is located, as well as the depressed real estate market, our holding period has exceeded our original estimates. Through December 31, 2010, we have had multiple sales transactions, disposing of approximately 3,568 acres of the approximately 4,530 acres originally owned. We continue to market the remaining acres for sale.
We are engaged in the business of real estate investment which management considers being a single operating segment. A presentation of information about operating segments would not be material to an understanding of our business taken as a whole.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, we received net sales proceeds of $301,321 from the sale of nine improved residential lots which equates to approximately 1.7 acres of Parcel 3/27. We have retained the net sales proceeds to support our continuing operations. Parcel 3/27 consists of two contiguous parcels which are being jointly developed as two residential subdivisions. Each subdivision lies within the boundaries of both parcels. A third-party builder has entered into a contract for the residential portions of this parcel. While we anticipate additional sales of the remaining acreage of Parcel 3/27 through 2012, there can be no assurance that any sales will be completed or that a distribution will be made to the limited partners. If sales occur net sales proceeds will be used to fund our current and future operations, including land improvements. We will evaluate our cash needs throughout the year to determine any future distributions.
Parcel 18 has been zoned and planned for residential use. The townhome portion was sold in a single transaction to a third party purchaser. The residential lots and duplex lots were under separate contract on a take-out basis with a single third-party builder. The builder has fulfilled its obligations for the duplex lots pursuant to the terms of the contract.
Due to the severe slow down in new home starts and the abundance of competing inventory within these communities, the builders who had contracts for the remaining residential lots of Parcels 3/27 and 18 did not fulfill their take-out obligation for the balance of the residential lots. Pursuant to the terms of the contracts, the builders were given the required notice of default and an opportunity to cure such default within a specified period of time. The cure period expired January 11, 2009, the builders right to purchase lots under the contracts was terminated, and the earnest money deposits held in escrow of $208,463 were remitted to us in 2009 and are included in other operating income in 2009.
We plan to enhance the value of our remaining 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. Parcel 20 has been granted rezoning which will permit additional land to be used for development.
We continue to closely monitor the real estate market trends, especially within the areas where our remaining parcels are located. Currently, the depressed real estate market, coupled with the troubled financial markets, continue to adversely impact sales activity, especially sales of vacant land and residential lots. We realize it could take some time for these current trends to improve which could result in an even longer holding period. However, we believe we have taken the
-3-

steps necessary to reduce costs and maintain sufficient reserves of cash and cash equivalents to cover all our costs for an extended period of time. We have farm leases in place which generate sufficient income to cover the costs of insurance and real estate taxes. Our remaining land is not encumbered by mortgage debt and is located in areas that we believe are in the paths of future development.
We had no employees during 2010. Accordingly, we hired no compensation consultants.
Our general partner and its affiliates provide services to us. Our general partner and its affiliates are reimbursed for salaries and expenses of employees of the general partner and its affiliates relating to the administration of the partnership. An affiliate of the general partner performs marketing and advertising services for us and is reimbursed for direct costs. An affiliate of the general partner performs land improvements, rezoning, annexation and other activities to prepare our parcels for sale and is reimbursed for salaries and direct costs.
Access to Our Information
We electronically file our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The public may read and copy any of the reports that are filed with the SEC at the SECs Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at (800)-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically.
We make available, free of charge, by responding to requests addressed to our customer relations department, the annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports. These reports are available as soon as reasonably practical after such material is electronically filed or furnished to the SEC.
Limited Partners wishing to communicate with our general partner can do so by writing to the attention of the general partner care of our partnership at 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, IL 60523.
Item 1(A). | Risk Factors |
Real Estate Market
Currently, the depressed real estate market, coupled with the troubled financial markets, continue to adversely impact sales activity, especially sales of vacant land and residential lots, as developers continue to dispose of excess inventories and have difficulty in obtaining financing for new projects. Therefore, it could take some time for these current trends to improve which could result in an even longer holding period than previously estimated.
Pre-Development Stage Land
The net proceeds of the offering were invested in pre-development stage land. An investment in such land involves a number of potential risks, which include the following:
Dependence on Governmental Zoning and Fiscal Policies. We will conduct rezoning and pre-development activities with respect to our land investments. Rezoning may only be effected by appropriate city, county and/or other local authorities. There can be no assurance that our efforts to cause these authorities to change the zoning classification(s) which apply to a given parcel of land owned by the partnership will be successful. Sometimes local residents oppose our efforts. Sometimes local authorities require us to spend funds to facilitate future development of the land as a condition of rezoning. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient funds to accomplish the required changes or that they can be accomplished in a timely fashion.
Restricted or Limited Access to Utilities and Roadways. The value of our land will be affected by ease of access to utilities and transportation. If public utility providers are not located in sufficient proximity to a parcel owned by the partnership, the cost of arranging for such utility access may be prohibitive to the partnership or a potential purchaser of the parcel, thereby reducing the value of the parcel. Delays and/or postponements in the construction of roads in areas by our parcels likely would adversely affect the value of our parcels.

Table of Contents
Environmental Risks. Federal and state environmental laws can impose substantial liability on owners of real estate without regard to fault, even when other parties are or were responsible for the environmental impairment. Environmental liabilities could cause us to incur significant expenses, including (but not limited to) the obligation to remedy or clean up hazardous substances (such as pesticides commonly used on farmland) or other pollutants, regardless of fault. Such liabilities could require us to dispose of a property at a loss, which could be substantial.
In addition, the value of our land is affected by the drainage pattern of such land and the surrounding area, the susceptibility of such land to flooding and the possibility that such land might be classified as wetlands by a government agency, thereby inhibiting or precluding development of the parcel.
Nature of Farm Leases and Limited Current Income. With the exception of limited amounts of cash which may be generated from leasing the land as farmland or for other revenue-producing activities, pre-development land does not generate current income. Nevertheless, we incur ongoing expenses in connection with the ownership of such land (for example, real estate taxes). At the same time, our farm rental revenue is subject to a farm tenants ability to pay the contracted rent, which depends on circumstances such as fluctuations in commodity prices, bad weather, competition from other producers, changes in government farm policy (including price supports), pests and crop diseases.
Lack of Geographic Diversification. All of our land investments are located in the Chicago metropolitan area. The success of the partnership will, therefore, depend to a great extent upon the rate and amount of economic growth in the Chicago metropolitan area.
Partnership-Related Risks
Risk of Installment Sale. We may sell some land parcels on an installment basis (which means that the sale price will be received in installments during the term of the agreement). In the event we find it necessary or desirable to provide such financing upon the resale of our parcels, a liquidation of the partnership may be delayed beyond the time of disposition of the parcels until any such loans are repaid or otherwise liquidated. In the event of a default on an installment sale, we may be forced to reacquire a property.
No Market for Units. Our units are subject to certain restrictions on transferability. As a result of these restrictions, no public trading market is likely to develop for these securities, nor is one intended to develop. Purchasers of units may not, therefore, be able to liquidate their investment, and units may not be readily acceptable as collateral for a loan.
Transfer Limit. In accordance with Article XVI Section 16.1 of the Inland Land Appreciation Fund II, L.P. Partnership Agreement and Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(j), we did not reach the maximum threshold of limited partnership units that may be transferred/assigned directly between parties during 2010. For the benefit of interested limited partners, we have a relationship with a qualified matching service as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(g). In accordance with this Treasury Regulation and the IRS private letter ruling obtained by the qualified matching service, we understand that limited partnership units may be transferred or assigned through the qualified matching service up to a separate maximum threshold each taxable year (in addition to the maximum threshold that may be transferred or assigned directly between parties under our partnership agreement and Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(j)). However, there can be no assurance that the IRS private letter ruling will apply to transfers of our units, or that any particular transfer will not violate the transfer restrictions contained in the partnership agreement or the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(g). If you have any interest in participating in a transfer/assignment of partnership units through this qualified matching service, please contact American Partnership Board directly at 800-736-9797. You are strongly encouraged to consult your personal legal, financial and tax advisors in connection with any such transfer/assignment.
Conflicts of Interest. We may be subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with our general partner and its affiliates. If the general partner or its affiliates breach their fiduciary obligations to us, or do not resolve these conflicts of interest to our benefit, we could suffer consequences which we might not otherwise be subject to if such conflicts of interest did not exist.

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

* | On September 16, 2002, we completed a tax-deferred exchange of Parcels 9 and 12 for 50 acres in Kendall County (Parcel 28). |
Our general partner anticipates that the land we acquired will produce sufficient income to pay real estate taxes and insurance expense. Income will be derived through leases to farmers or from other activities compatible with undeveloped land. Although the general partner believes that leasing our land will generate sufficient revenues to pay these expenses, there can be no assurance that this will in fact occur. Our general partner has agreed to make a supplemental capital contribution to us if and to the extent that real estate taxes and insurance payable with respect to our land during a given year exceed the revenue earned by us from leasing our land during such year. Any supplemental capital contribution will be repaid only after limited partners have received, over the life of our partnership, a return of their original capital plus the 15% cumulative return. A majority of the parcels purchased by us consist of land which generates revenue from farming or other leasing activities. It is not expected that we will generate cash distributions to limited partners from farm leases or other leasing activities. Through December 31, 2010, our land has generated sufficient revenues from leasing to cover real estate taxes and insurance expense.
Item 3. | Legal Proceedings |
During the first quarter of 2009, the General Partner received notice that William Ryan Homes, Inc. (Ryan), the homebuilder for Parcel 18, filed suit against the City of Woodstock (Woodstock) and ILAFII#XVIII, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary that owns that property, in the Circuit Court for the 22nd Judicial District in McHenry County, Illinois. The complaint seeks damages for alleged breach of a warranty which Ryan claims caused water seepage. The complaint claims that a total of seven lots have been the subject of water seepage complaints. Ryan also claims that the seepage issues have caused Woodstock to issue a stop work order causing Ryan additional damage. Woodstock filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint as it relates to Woodstock only and on October 13, 2009, Woodstocks motion was granted on the grounds that Ryan had failed to properly exhaust its administrative remedies. The Partnerships subsidiary appeared and filed a Motion to Dismiss which was denied by the court on January 22, 2010. The Partnerships subsidiary filed its Answer and Affirmative Defenses on February 17, 2010 denying liability for the alleged damages. The case has been continued to March 14, 2011 for status, however, on February 23, 2011, Ryan and the Partnerships subsidiary entered into a Settlement Agreement regarding this matter. Pursuant to such Settlement Agreement, on March 2, 2011, the Partnership paid Ryan approximately $34,000 and in return received one lot (comprised of .219 acres) of Parcel 18.

On or about April 8, 2010, we received notification from the attorneys for the Village of Elburn that in effect demanded completion of certain land improvements. The Partnership is a co-indemnitor of the subdivision bonds that secure completion of the land improvements on Parcels 5 and 19 of the Blackberry Subdivision in Elburn, Il. On April 22, 2010, the Partnership received notice from the bonding companies demanding completion and satisfaction of such obligations. Based on information provided by the bonding companies, the Partnership is estimating that the maximum balance of the outstanding bonds and related fees is approximately $4.3 million; however, we believe the actual costs of the remaining improvements of the subdivision are far less than the outstanding bond amounts. We have met with a representative of the bonding companies who has requested a complete list of remaining improvements being requested by the Village of Elburn. At this time, it is not possible to determine what, if any, liability will be asserted against the Partnership or the materiality of any outcome.

Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Certain statements in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these forward looking statements. These factors include, among other things, adverse changes in real estate, financing and general economic or local conditions; the ability to obtain annexation and zoning approvals required to develop our properties; the approval of local governing bodies to develop our properties; successful lobbying of local no growth or limited development homeowner groups; eminent domain proceedings; changes in the environmental conditions or changes in the environmental positions of governmental bodies; and potential conflicts of interest between us and our affiliates, including our general partner.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Securities and Exchange Commission previously issued Financial Reporting Release (FRR) or FRR No. 60 Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies. A critical accounting policy is one that would materially affect our operations or financial condition, and requires management to make estimates or judgments in certain circumstances. We believe that our most critical accounting policies relate to how we value our investment properties and mortgage loans receivable and revenue recognition. These judgments often result from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The purpose of the FRR is to provide investors with an understanding of how management forms these policies. Critical accounting policies discussed in this section are not to be confused with accounting principles and methods disclosed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or GAAP. GAAP requires information in financial statements about accounting principles, methods used and disclosures pertaining to significant estimates. The following disclosure discusses judgments known to management pertaining to trends, events or uncertainties known which were taken into consideration upon the application of those policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported upon taking into consideration different conditions and assumptions.
Valuation of Investment Properties - On a quarterly basis, we review impairment indicators and if necessary, conduct an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each investment property does not exceed its estimated fair value. If an investment property is considered impaired, we would be required to record an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying value over the estimated fair value.
In determining the value of an investment property and whether the property is impaired, management considers several indicators which require difficult, complex and/or subjective judgments, such as projected sales prices, capital expenditures and assessment of current economic conditions. These indicators are considered by management in determining the value of any particular property. The value of any particular property is sensitive to the actual results of any of these uncertain indicators, either individually or taken as a whole. Should the actual results differ from managements judgment, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected.
The valuation and possible subsequent impairment of investment properties is a significant estimate that can and does change based on managements continuous process of analyzing each property. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we have not recorded any such impairment. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded an impairment loss of $1,397,000 in regards to Parcel 3/27 and Parcel 18. Subsequent costs incurred above the estimated fair value for Parcels 3/27 and 18 and for any other parcels that may be deemed to be impaired will be expensed and included in land operating expenses.
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 Loan Receivable - On a quarterly basis, we conduct an analysis to determine whether the carrying value of each mortgage loan receivable is recoverable from the obligor. 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 the mortgage loan receivable, management considers projected sales proceeds available and expenses related to the property associated with the mortgage. Should the actual results differ from managements judgment, 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 managements continuous process of analyzing each mortgage loan receivable. During 2009, the partnership evaluated the mortgage loan receivable and determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts of $8,918,412 for the remaining principal was needed. As of December 31, 2010, the mortgage loan receivable remains fully reserved.
Revenue Recognition - We recognize income from the sale of land parcels in accordance with the full accrual method of accounting.
Assets Held for Sale - In determining whether to classify an asset as held for sale, we consider whether: (i) management has committed to a plan to sell the asset; (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale, in its present condition; (iii) we have initiated a program to locate a buyer; (iv) we believe that the sale of the asset is probable; (v) we are actively marketing the asset for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current value; and (vi) actions required for us to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will be made to the plan.
If all of the above criteria are met, we classify the asset as held for sale. The assets and liabilities associated with those assets that are held for sale are classified separately on the balance sheets for the most recent reporting period. Additionally, the operations for the periods presented are classified on the statements of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
From time to time, we may determine that a held for sale property no longer meets the criteria to continue to be classified as held for sale. If this occurs, we record the property at the lower of the carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale or the fair value at the decision date not to sell. As of December 31, 2010, we have not classified any properties as held for sale.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On October 25, 1989, we commenced an offering of 30,000 (subject to increase to 60,000) limited partnership units or units pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. On October 24, 1991, we terminated our offering of units, with total sales of 50,476.17 units, at $1,000 per unit, resulting in $50,476,170 in gross offering proceeds, not including the general partners capital contribution of $500. All of the holders of these units were admitted to the 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 $41,314,301 of gross offering proceeds to purchase, on an all-cash basis, 27 parcels of undeveloped land and two buildings. These investments include the payment of the purchase price, acquisition fees and acquisition costs of such properties. Three of the parcels were purchased during 1990, sixteen during 1991, four during 1992, and four during 1993. On September 16, 2002, we completed a tax-deferred exchange of Parcels 9 and 12 for 50 acres in Kendall County (Parcel 28). Through December 31, 2010, we have had multiple sales, exchange transactions and conveyances, disposing of the buildings and approximately 3,568 acres of the approximately 4,530 acres originally owned. Through December 31, 2010, cumulative distributions have totaled $90,332,012 to the limited partners which is equivalent to 179% of the original capital raised which was $50,476,170 and $13,313,195 to the general partner. Of the $90,332,012 distributed to the limited partners, $89,611,012 was net sales proceeds and $721,000 was from operations. Through December 31, 2010, we have used $47,329,256 of working capital for rezoning and other activities. Such amounts have been capitalized and are included in investment properties.
Our capital needs and resources will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the extent to which we conduct rezoning and other activities relating to utility access, the installation of roads, subdivision and/or annexation of land to a
-13-
Table of Contents
municipality, changes in real estate taxes affecting our land, and the amount of revenue received from leasing. As of December 31, 2010, we own, in whole or in part, seven parcels, the majority of which are leased to local farmers and are generating sufficient cash flow from farm leases to cover real estate taxes and insurance expense. We continue to market the remaining acres for sale.
At December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,119,222 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, we received net sales proceeds of $301,321 from the sale of nine improved residential lots which equates to approximately 1.7 acres of Parcel 3/27. During the fourth quarter of 2010, three acres of park land were conveyed to the Fox Valley Park district which was required upon the acceptance of the improvements for Parcel 3/27. During the fourth quarter of 2009, required land conveyances were finalized for Parcel 3/27 to the Kendall County Forest Preserve. Other prior conveyances include the subdivision roadways to the Village of Montgomery. Parcel 3/27 consists of two contiguous parcels which are being jointly developed as two residential subdivisions. Each subdivision lies within the boundaries of both parcels. Currently a third-party builder has entered into a contract for the residential portions of this parcel. While we anticipate future additional sales of the remaining acreage of Parcel 3/27 through 2012, there can be no assurance that any sales will be completed or that a distribution will be made to the limited partners. Undistributed net sales proceeds will be used to fund our operations, including land improvements. We will evaluate our cash needs throughout the year to determine any future distributions.
Parcel 18 has been zoned and planned for residential use. The townhome portion was sold in a single transaction to a third party purchaser. The residential lots and duplex lots were under separate contract on a take-out basis with a single third-party builder. The builder has fulfilled its obligations for the duplex lots pursuant to the terms of the contract.
Due to the severe slow down in new home starts and the abundance of competing inventory within these communities, the builders who had contracts for the remaining residential lots of Parcels 3/27 and 18 did not fulfill their take-out obligation for the balance of the residential lots. Pursuant to the terms of the contracts, the builders were given the required notice of default and an opportunity to cure such default within a specified period of time. The cure period expired January 11, 2009, the builders right to purchase lots under the contracts was terminated, and the earnest money deposits held in escrow of $208,463 were remitted to us in 2009 and are included in other operating income in 2009.
We plan to enhance the value of our remaining 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. Parcel 20 has been granted rezoning which will permit additional land to be used for development.
We continue to closely monitor the real estate market trends, especially within the areas where our remaining parcels are located. Currently, the depressed real estate market, coupled with the troubled financial markets, continue to adversely impact sales activity, especially sales of vacant land and residential lots. We realize it could take some time for these current trends to improve which could result in an even longer holding period. However, we believe we have taken the steps necessary to reduce costs and maintain sufficient reserves of cash and cash equivalents to cover all our costs for an extended period of time. We have farm leases in place which generate sufficient income to cover the costs of insurance expense and real estate taxes. Our remaining land is not encumbered by debt and is located in areas that we believe are in the paths of future development.
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 $93,624 and $97,623 are included in professional services to affiliates and general and administrative expenses to affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, of which $8,780 and $23,086 was unpaid as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
An affiliate of our general partner performed marketing and advertising services for us and was reimbursed for direct costs. Such costs of $10,966 and $21,484 have been incurred and are included in marketing expenses to affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, of which $1,286 and $2,100 was unpaid as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

An affiliate of our general partner performed land improvements, rezoning, annexation and other activities to prepare our investment properties for sale and was reimbursed for salaries and direct costs. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we incurred $9,746 and $20,232, respectively, of such costs. Such costs are included in investment properties, of which $2,241 and $3,000 was unpaid as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, the costs related to Parcels 3/27 and 18 totaled $27,004 and $43,982 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is included in land operating expenses to affiliates, of which $7,333 and $8,000 was unpaid as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The affiliate did not recognize a profit on any project.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership had invested in a money market account with Inland Bank and Trust, an affiliate of the general partner.
Results of Operations
During the year ended December 31, 2010, we received net sales proceeds of $301,321 from the sale of nine improved residential lots which equates to approximately 1.7 acres of Parcel 3/27. During the fourth quarter of 2010, three acres of park land were conveyed to the Fox Valley Park district which was required upon the acceptance of the improvements for Parcel 3/27. During the fourth quarter of 2009, required land conveyances were finalized for Parcel 3/27 to the Kendall County Forest Preserve. Other prior conveyances include the subdivision roadways to the Village of Montgomery. Parcel 3/27 consists of two contiguous parcels which are being jointly developed as two residential subdivisions. Each subdivision lies within the boundaries of both parcels. Currently a third-party builder has entered into a contract for the residential portions of this parcel. While we anticipate future additional sales of the remaining acreage of Parcel 3/27 through 2012, there can be no assurance that any sales will be completed or that a distribution will be made to the limited partners. Undistributed net sales proceeds will be used to fund our operations, including land improvements. We will evaluate our cash needs throughout the year to determine any future distributions.
During 2001, we sold 189 acres of Parcel 5 and 436 acres of Parcel 19 for $17,500,000 and recorded deferred gain of $10,203,634. We received a deferred down payment note in the amount of $1,500,000, due December 31, 2001. The note had an interest rate of 6%, however the note provided for the interest to be waived if the principal was paid in full by December 1, 2001. We received payment of the deferred down payment note on December 1, 2001 and recognized $875,923 of deferred gain. We also received an installment note in the amount of $16,000,000 at the time of closing. The installment note matures July 1, 2011 and has an interest rate of 6%. During the first quarter of 2008, the homebuilder who is the borrower under the mortgage loan notified us that it was experiencing a slowdown in sales contracts for new homes. As a result, we agreed to temporarily suspend the 6% interest due on the mortgage receivable and applied payments received during 2008 toward principal. During the second quarter of 2008, based on the available information, we determined that the full collectability of the mortgage receivable was doubtful. As a result, we elected to reserve $3,923,062 of principal. In addition, $2,296,818 of the deferred gain relating to the mortgage receivable was also reserved and recorded against bad debt expense during 2008. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we received principal payments totaling $2,400 and recognized deferred gain of $1,405. During the third quarter of 2009, based on the available information, we determined that the collectability of the remaining mortgage receivable was doubtful. The mortgage receivable is subordinate to a first mortgage held by an unaffiliated lender. The holder of the first mortgage filed a complaint of foreclosure during September 2009. We filed our answer and counterclaim to the complaint to preserve our interest in the foreclosure on March 18, 2010. The holder of the first mortgage has filed for summary judgment and we filed a response to that motion on August 24, 2010. The case has been continued until March 16, 2011. Since it is unlikely that the remaining value of the property secured by the mortgage receivable is in excess of the remaining balance due under the first mortgage, we elected to reserve the remaining $4,995,350 of principal as of September 30, 2009. In addition, the deferred gain of $2,913,192 relating to the mortgage receivable was also reserved and recorded against bad debt expense resulting in bad debt expense of $2,082,158 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Effective January 1, 2009, accrual of the 6% interest due on the mortgage receivable resumed, however, we determined that the collectability of the interest is doubtful. Since we have only received minimal payments from the borrower since January 2008, we are not accruing interest on the financial statements. We will continue to monitor the activity associated with the mortgage receivable and the related interest.
As of December 31, 2010, we owned seven parcels of land consisting of approximately 962 acres. Of the approximately 962 acres owned, 721 acres are tillable, leased to local farmers and generate sufficient cash flow to cover real estate taxes and insurance. Rental income was $159,455 and $116,785 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The rental income for 2010 increased due to an increase in farm rental rates as a result of engaging the services of a
-15-
Table of Contents
company experienced in modern farm management and negotiating cash farm leases in an effort to achieve the maximum farm income possible. The 2011 farm leases for our tillable land were negotiated and fully executed within the first quarter of 2011.
Other operating income was $71,000 and $220,113 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we received a $71,000 reimbursement from an unused development cost escrow related to a previously sold parcel. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we received $208,463 in earnest money deposits held in escrow, as a result of the default on the three separate contracts with the builders for Parcels 3/27 and 18.
Professional services to affiliates and non-affiliates were $166,864 and $165,365 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Professional services include primarily fees paid for legal and accounting services. The legal fees for 2010 and 2009 include fees related to the on-going legal matters for the foreclosure proceedings related to the installment note discussed above, the Parcel 18 William Ryan homebuilder suit, and the legal matter related to the subdivision bonds for Parcels 5 and 19.
General and administrative expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates were $46,722 and $45,694 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. General and administrative expenses primarily include data processing costs, postage, and printing expenses. General and administrative expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates increased due primarily to the first time fee incurred for a farm management company. The farm management company is experienced in modern farm management and in negotiating cash farm leases to achieve the maximum farm income possible.
Marketing expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates were $10,966 and $26,997 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Marketing expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates are costs incurred for preparing and marketing parcels for sale. The decrease for 2010 is due to less advertising costs and less marketing fees as a response to the slowdown in real estate sales.
Land operating expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates were $230,871 and $754,395 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These costs primarily include real estate tax expense, ground maintenance expense, the Partnerships proportionate share of the homeowners association fees, and insurance expense on the parcels owned. The decrease in 2010 is due primarily to a decrease in grounds maintenance expenses for Parcels 3/27 and 18. During 2009 there were additional expenses necessary in order to remain in compliance with municipal codes regarding erosion control and landscaping requirements on the remaining unsold residential lots of Parcels 3/27 and 18. In addition, the Village of Montgomery has accepted the public improvements for the residential subdivision associated with Parcel 3/27 and therefore has become responsible for such costs, and consequently the homeowners association assessments have decreased significantly for 2010.
Interest income was $27,972 and $9,273 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Interest income is primarily a result of the cash available to invest on a short term basis during the year as a result of sales proceeds received. During the first three quarters of 2009, cash was invested in commercial paper while during the year ended December 31, 2010, cash was invested in a money market account earning higher interest rates.
Other income was $16,293 and $18,450 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in 2010 is due to less transfer fee income as a result of a reduced number of completed transfers.
Our Partnership Agreement
Our partnership agreement prescribes the allocation of profits and losses, and the distribution priorities of available cash. If and to the extent that real estate taxes and insurance payable with respect to our land during a given year exceed our revenues, our general partner will make a supplemental capital contribution of such amount to us to ensure that we have sufficient funds to make such payments and receives a special allocation of expenses in a like amount.
Profits and losses from operations (other than capital transactions) will be allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partner. The net gain from sales of our properties is first allocated among the partners in proportion to the negative balances, if any, in their respective capital accounts. Thereafter, except as provided below, net gain is allocated to the general partner in an amount equal to the proceeds distributed to the general partner from such sale and the balance of
-16-
Table of Contents
any net gain is allocated to the limited partners. If the amount of net gain realized from a sale is less than the amount of cash distributed to the general partner from such sale, we will allocate income or gain to the general partner in an amount equal to the excess of the cash distributed to the general partner with respect to such sale as quickly as permitted by law. Any net loss from a sale will be allocated to the limited partners.
Distributions of net sales proceeds will be allocated between the general partner and the limited partners based upon both an aggregate overall return to the limited partners and a separate return with respect to each parcel of land purchased by us.
As a general rule, net sale proceeds will be distributed 90% to the limited partners and 10% to the general partner until the limited partners have received from net sale proceeds (i) a return of their original capital plus (ii) a noncompounded cumulative preferred return of 15% of their invested capital. However, with respect to each parcel of land, the general partners 10% share will be subordinated until the limited partners receive a return of the original capital attributed to such parcel (parcel capital) plus a 6% per annum noncompounded cumulative preferred return thereon.
After the amounts described in items (i) and (ii) above and any previously subordinated distributions to the general partner have been paid, and the amount of any supplemental capital contributions have been repaid to the general partner, subsequent distributions shall be paid 75% to the limited partners and 25% to the general partner without considering parcel capital. If, after all net sale proceeds have been distributed, the general partner has received more than 25% of all net sale proceeds (exclusive of distributions made to the limited partners to return their original capital), the general partner shall contribute to us for distribution to the limited partners an amount equal to such excess.
Any distributions from net sales proceeds at a time when invested capital is greater than zero shall be deemed applied first to reduction of such invested capital before application to payment of any deficiency in the 15% cumulative preferred return.
Subsequent Events
The Partnership evaluates subsequent events occurring between the most recent balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements are available to be issued in order to determine whether the subsequent events are to be recorded in and/or disclosed in the Partnerships financial statements and footnotes. The financial statements are considered to be available to be issued at the time that they are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As discussed in the legal proceedings above, on February 23, 2011, the parties involved in the William Ryan homebuilder suit involving Parcel 18 entered into a Settlement Agreement. Pursuant to such Settlement Agreement, on March 2, 2011 the Partnership paid the homebuilder approximately $34,000 and in return received one lot (comprised of .219 acres) of Parcel 18.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, there are no other subsequent events.
Other Items
In accordance with Article XVI Section 16.1 of the Inland Land Appreciation Fund II, L.P. Partnership Agreement and Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(j), we did not reach the maximum threshold of limited partnership units that may be transferred/assigned directly between parties during 2010. For the benefit of interested limited partners, we have a relationship with a qualified matching service as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(g). In accordance with this Treasury Regulation and the IRS private letter ruling obtained by the qualified matching service, we understand that limited partnership units may be transferred/assigned through the qualified matching service up to a separate maximum threshold each taxable year (in addition to the maximum threshold that may be transferred/assigned directly between parties discussed above). However, there can be no assurance that the IRS private letter ruling will apply to transfers of units, or that any particular transfer will not violate the transfer restrictions contained in our partnership agreement or the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(g). If you have any interest in participating in a transfer/assignment of partnership units through this qualified matching service, please contact American Partnership Board directly at 800-736-9797. You are strongly encouraged to consult your personal legal, financial and tax advisors in connection with any such transfer/assignment.

The Illinois Department of Revenue has finalized regulations regarding Illinois income tax withholding requirements for nonresident partners. The withholding requirements were effective for the taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2008. For the taxable years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, there were no withholdings required. Payment of the required withholding amount of $1,167 for the taxable year ended December 31, 2008 was made to the Illinois Department of Revenue during March 2009. We are also required to pay a withholding tax to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to a partners allocable share of our taxable net income, if the partner is a foreign person. We will first pay the withholding tax from the distributions to any nonresident and/or foreign partners, and to the extent that the tax exceeds the amount of distributions withheld, or if there have been no distributions to withhold, the excess will be accounted for as a distribution to such nonresident and/or foreign partners. During March 2009, we paid $11 to the Internal Revenue Service on behalf of foreign partners.

Litigation
During the first quarter of 2009, the General Partner received notice that William Ryan Homes, Inc. (Ryan), the homebuilder for Parcel 18, filed suit against the City of Woodstock (Woodstock) and ILAFII#XVIII, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary that owns that property, in the Circuit Court for the 22nd Judicial District in McHenry County, Illinois. The complaint seeks damages for alleged breach of a warranty which Ryan claims caused water seepage. The complaint claims that a total of seven lots have been the subject of water seepage complaints. Ryan also claims that the seepage issues have caused Woodstock to issue a stop work order causing Ryan additional damage. Woodstock filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint as it relates to Woodstock only and on October 13, 2009, Woodstocks motion was granted on the grounds that Ryan had failed to properly exhaust its administrative remedies. The Partnerships subsidiary appeared and filed a Motion to Dismiss which was denied by the court on January 22, 2010. The Partnerships subsidiary filed its Answer and Affirmative Defenses on February 17, 2010 denying liability for the alleged damages. The case has been continued to March 14, 2011 for status, however, on February 23, 2011, Ryan and the Partnerships subsidiary entered into a Settlement Agreement regarding this matter. Pursuant to such Settlement Agreement, on March 2, 2011, the Partnership paid Ryan approximately $34,000 and in return received one lot (comprised of .219 acres) of Parcel 18.
On or about April 8, 2010, we received notification from the attorneys for the Village of Elburn that in effect demanded completion of certain land improvements. The Partnership is a co-indemnitor of the subdivision bonds that secure completion of the land improvements on Parcels 5 and 19 of the Blackberry Subdivision in Elburn, Il. On April 22, 2010, the Partnership received notice from the bonding companies demanding completion and satisfaction of such obligations. Based on information provided by the bonding companies, we estimate that the maximum balance of the outstanding bonds and related fees is approximately $4.3 million; however, we believe the actual costs of the remaining improvements of the subdivision are far less than the outstanding bond amounts. We have met with a representative of the bonding companies who has requested a complete list of remaining improvements being requested by the Village of Elburn. At this time, it is not possible to determine what, if any, liability will be asserted against the Partnership or the materiality of any outcome.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Partners of
Inland Land Appreciation Fund II, L.P.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Inland Land Appreciation Fund II, L.P. (a limited partnership) (the Partnership) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, partners capital, and cash flows for the years then ended. The financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnerships internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inland Land Appreciation Fund II, L.P. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND II, L.P.
(a limited partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009
(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting
Inland Land Appreciation Fund II, L.P. (the Partnership) is a limited partnership formed on June 28, 1989, pursuant to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, to invest in undeveloped land on an all-cash basis and realize appreciation of such land upon resale. On October 25, 1989, the Partnership commenced an Offering of 30,000 (subject to increase to 60,000) Limited Partnership Units (Units) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the Partnership Agreement) provides for Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation to be the General Partner. On October 24, 1991, the Partnership terminated its Offering of Units, with total sales of 50,476.17 Units, at $1,000 per Unit, resulting in $50,476,170 in gross offering proceeds, not including the General Partners capital contribution of $500. All of the holders of these Units have been admitted to the Partnership. Through December 31, 2010, the Partnership had repurchased a total of 408.65 Units for $383,822 from various Limited Partners through the Unit Repurchase Program. Under this program, Limited Partners could, under certain circumstances, have their Units repurchased for an amount equal to their Invested Capital.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Offering costs have been offset against the Limited Partners capital accounts.
The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents and are carried at cost, which approximates market. The Partnership maintains our cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at one or more institutions periodically exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance coverage of $250,000 and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Partnership believes that the risk is not significant, and the Partnership does not anticipate the financial institutions non-performance.
The Partnership recognizes income from the sale of land parcels in accordance with the full accrual method of accounting.
The Partnerships escrow agent holds earnest money deposits for the purchase of parcels. Generally, these funds are not the Partnerships until the closing has occurred or the buyer under the sale agreement has committed a default which would entitle the Partnership to the earnest money.
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. Repair and maintenance expenses are charged to operations as incurred.
A presentation of information about operating segments would not be material to an understanding of the Partnerships business taken as a whole as the Partnership is engaged in the business of real estate investment which management considers to be a single operating segment.

Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
On a quarterly basis, the Partnership reviews impairment indicators and if necessary, conducts an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each investment property does not exceed its estimated fair value. If an investment property is considered impaired, the Partnership would be required to record an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying value over the estimated fair value.
In determining the value of an investment property and whether the property is impaired, management considers several factors which require difficult, complex and/or subjective judgments, such as projected sales prices, capital expenditures and assessment of current economic conditions. These factors are considered by management in determining the value of any particular property. The value of any particular property is sensitive to the actual results of any of these uncertain factors, either individually or taken as a whole. Should the actual results differ from managements judgment, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected. The valuation and possible subsequent impairment of investment properties is a significant estimate that can and does change based on managements continuous process of analyzing each property.
The Partnership is required to pay a withholding tax to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to a Partners allocable share of the Partnerships taxable net income if the Partner is a foreign person. Similarly, the Partnership is required to pay a withholding tax to the Illinois Department of Revenue for nonresident partners. The Partnership will first pay the withholding tax from the distributions to any nonresident and/or foreign partners, and to the extent that the tax exceeds the amount of distributions withheld, or if there have been no distributions to withhold, the excess will be accounted for as a distribution to such nonresident and/or foreign partners.
No provision for Federal income taxes has been made, as the liability for such taxes is that of the Partners rather than the Partnership.
The Partnership records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP. The Federal income tax return has been prepared from such records after making appropriate adjustments, if any, to reflect the Partnerships accounts as adjusted for Federal income tax reporting purposes. Such adjustments are not recorded in the records of the Partnership. The net effect of these items is summarized as follows:

(2) Partnership Agreement
The Partnership Agreement prescribes the allocation of profits and losses, and the distribution priorities of available cash. If and to the extent that real estate taxes and insurance payable with respect to the Partnerships land during a given year exceed revenues of the Partnership, the General Partner will make a Supplemental Capital Contribution of such amount to the Partnership to ensure that it has sufficient funds to make such payments and receives a special allocation of expenses in a like amount.
Profits and losses from operations (other than capital transactions) will be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner. The net gain from sales of Partnership properties is first allocated among the Partners in proportion to the negative balances, if any, in their respective capital accounts. Thereafter, except as provided below, net gain is allocated to the General Partner in an amount equal to the proceeds distributed to the General Partner from such sale and the balance of any net gain is allocated to the Limited Partners. If the amount of net gain realized from a sale is less than the amount of cash distributed to the General Partner from such sale, the Partnership will allocate income or gain to the General Partner in an amount equal to the excess of the cash distributed to the General Partner with respect to such sale as quickly as permitted by law. Any net loss from a sale will be allocated to the Limited Partners.
Distributions of Net Sale Proceeds will be allocated between the General Partner and the Limited Partners based upon both an aggregate overall return to the Limited Partners and a separate return with respect to each parcel of land purchased by the Partnership.
As a general rule, Net Sale Proceeds will be distributed 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partner until the Limited Partners have received from Net Sale Proceeds (i) a return of their Original Capital plus (ii) a noncompounded Cumulative Preferred Return of 15% of their Invested Capital. However, with respect to each parcel of land, the General Partners 10% share will be subordinated until the Limited Partners receive a return of the Original Capital attributed to such parcel (Parcel Capital) plus a 6% per annum noncompounded Cumulative Preferred Return thereon.
After the amounts described in items (i) and (ii) above and any previously subordinated distributions to the General Partner have been paid, and the amount of any Supplemental Capital Contributions have been repaid to the General Partner, subsequent distributions shall be paid 75% to the Limited Partners and 25% to the General Partner without considering Parcel Capital. If, after all Net Sale Proceeds have been distributed, the General Partner has received more than 25% of all Net Sale Proceeds (exclusive of distributions made to the Limited Partners to return their Original Capital), the General Partner shall contribute to the Partnership for distribution to the Limited Partners an amount equal to such excess.
Any distributions from Net Sales Proceeds at a time when Invested Capital is greater than zero shall be deemed applied first to the reduction of such Invested Capital before application to payment of any deficiency in the 15% Cumulative Preferred Return.

(4) Investment properties (continued)
(a) | Included in the purchase of Parcel 23 was a newly constructed 2,500 square foot house. The house was sold in March 1993. |
(b) | Included in the purchase of Parcel 24 was a 2,400 square foot office building. The building was sold in 2001. |
(c) | On September 16, 2002, the Partnership completed a tax-deferred exchange of Parcels 9 and 12 for 50 acres in Kendall County (Parcel 28). |
(d) | On a quarterly basis, the Partnership reviews impairment indicators and if necessary, conducts an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each investment property does not exceed its estimated fair value. If this were to occur, the Partnership would be required to record an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value. |
In determining the value of an investment property and whether the property is impaired, management considers several indicators which require difficult, complex and/or subjective judgments, such as projected sales prices, capital expenditures and assessment of current economic conditions. These indicators are considered by management in determining the value of any particular property. The value of any particular property is sensitive to the actual results of any of these uncertain indicators, either individually or taken as a whole. Should the actual results differ from managements judgment, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected.
The valuation and possible subsequent impairment of investment properties is a significant estimate that can and does change based on managements continuous process of analyzing each property. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership had recorded no such impairment. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Partnership recorded an impairment of $1,397,000, on land relating to Parcel 3/27 and Parcel 18. Due to the continuing troubled real estate market, the declining economy, the reduction in new construction home starts, the decrease in new home and lot prices, and the homebuilder defaults in the fourth quarter of 2008 on the sales contracts, the remaining cost of Parcel 3/27 and Parcel 18 exceeded the estimated sales proceeds on the remaining lots and accordingly, the Partnership recorded the impairment losses in 2009 to reduce the remaining cost of Parcel 3/27 and Parcel 18 to the projected sales proceeds. As of December 31, 2010 the total accumulated gain on sale recorded, net of the impairment losses, for Parcel 3/27 was approximately $10,700,000 and for Parcel 18, the total accumulated gain recorded, net of the impairment losses, was approximately $2,200,000.

On May 16, 2001, the Partnership sold 189 acres of Parcel 5 and 436 acres of Parcel 19 for $17,500,000 and recorded deferred gain of $10,203,634. The Partnership received a deferred down payment note in the amount of $1,500,000, due December 31, 2001. The note had an interest rate of 6%, however the note provided for the interest to be waived if the principal was paid in full by December 1, 2001. The Partnership received payment of the deferred down payment note on December 1, 2001 and recognized $875,923 of deferred gain. The Partnership also received an installment note in the amount of $16,000,000 at the time of closing. The installment note matures July 1, 2011 and has an interest rate of 6%. During 2009, the Partnership received $2,400 in principal payments, bringing the total amount of principal paid since loan inception to $8,581,588 and interest paid since loan inception to $5,449,637. During the first quarter of 2008, the homebuilder who is the obligor under the mortgage loan receivable notified the Partnership that it was experiencing a slowdown in sales contracts for new homes. The Partnership agreed to temporarily suspend the 6% interest due on the mortgage loan receivable and applied payments received during 2008 toward principal. During the second quarter of 2008, based on the available information, the Partnership determined that the full collectability of the mortgage loan receivable was doubtful. As a result, management elected to reserve $3,923,062 of principal and $2,296,818 of the deferred gain relating to the mortgage loan receivable which was recorded against bad debt expense during 2008.

(continued)
During the third quarter of 2009, based on the available information, the Partnership determined that the collectability of the remaining mortgage receivable was doubtful. The mortgage receivable is subordinate to a first mortgage held by an unaffiliated lender. The holder of the first mortgage filed a complaint of foreclosure during September 2009. The Partnership filed an answer and counterclaim to the complaint to preserve its interest in the foreclosure on March 18, 2010. The holder of the first mortgage has filed for summary judgment and we filed a response to that motion on August 24, 2010. The case has been continued until March 16, 2011. Since it is unlikely that the remaining value of the property secured by the mortgage loan receivable is in excess of the remaining balance due under the first mortgage, management elected to reserve the remaining $4,995,350 of principal as of September 30, 2009. In addition, the remaining deferred gain of $2,913,192 relating to the mortgage receivable was also reserved and recorded against bad debt expense resulting in bad debt expense of $2,082,158 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Effective January 1, 2009, accrual of the 6% interest due on the mortgage receivable resumed, however, the Partnership determined that the collectability of the interest is also doubtful. Since the Partnership has only received minimal payments from the borrower since January 2008, the Partnership is not accruing interest on the financial statements. The Partnership will continue to monitor the activity associated with the mortgage receivable and the related interest.
(7) Litigation
During the first quarter of 2009, the General Partner received notice that William Ryan Homes, Inc. (Ryan), the homebuilder for Parcel 18, filed suit against the City of Woodstock (Woodstock) and ILAFII#XVIII, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary that owns that property, in the Circuit Court for the 22nd Judicial District in McHenry County, Illinois. The complaint seeks damages for alleged breach of a warranty which Ryan claims caused water seepage. The complaint claims that a total of seven lots have been the subject of water seepage complaints. Ryan also claims that the seepage issues have caused Woodstock to issue a stop work order causing Ryan additional damage. Woodstock filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint as it relates to Woodstock only and on October 13, 2009, Woodstocks motion was granted on the grounds that Ryan had failed to properly exhaust its administrative remedies. The Partnerships subsidiary appeared and filed a Motion to Dismiss which was denied by the court on January 22, 2010. The Partnerships subsidiary filed its Answer and Affirmative Defenses on February 17, 2010 denying liability for the alleged damages. The case has been continued to March 14, 2011 for status, however, on February 23, 2011, Ryan and the Partnerships subsidiary entered into a Settlement Agreement regarding this matter. Pursuant to such Settlement Agreement, on March 2, 2011, the Partnership paid Ryan approximately $34,000 and in return received one lot (comprised of .219 acres) of Parcel 18.
On or about April 8, 2010, the Partnership received notification from the attorneys for the Village of Elburn that in effect demanded completion of certain land improvements. The Partnership is a co-indemnitor of the subdivision bonds that secure completion of the land improvements on Parcels 5 and 19 of the Blackberry Subdivision in Elburn, Il. On April 22, 2010, the Partnership received notice from the bonding companies demanding completion and satisfaction of such obligations. Based on information provided by the bonding companies, the Partnership is estimating that the maximum balance of the outstanding bonds and related fees is approximately $4.3 million, however, we believe the actual costs of the remaining improvements of the subdivision is far less than the outstanding bond amounts. The Partnership has met with a representative of the bonding companies who has requested a complete list of the remaining improvements being requested by the Village of Elburn. At this time, it is not possible to determine what, if any, liability will be asserted against the Partnership or the materiality of any outcome.
(8) Subsequent Events
The Partnership evaluates subsequent events occurring between the most recent balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements are available to be issued in order to determine whether the subsequent events are to be recorded in and/or disclosed in the Partnerships financial statements and footnotes. The financial statements are considered to be available to be issued at the time that they are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 11. | Executive Compensation |
We do not have any employees, and none of our executive officers receives any compensation from us. Accordingly, we hired no compensation consultants.
Our general partner is entitled to receive a share of cash distributions of net sale proceeds based upon both an aggregate overall return to the limited partners and a separate return with respect to each parcel of land purchased by us.
Our partnership agreement prescribes the allocation of profits and losses, and the distribution priorities of available cash. If and to the extent that real estate taxes and insurance payable with respect to our land during a given year exceed our revenues, our general partner will make a supplemental capital contribution of such amount to us to ensure that we have sufficient funds to make such payments and receive a special allocation of expenses in a like amount.
Profits and losses from operations (other than capital transactions) will be allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partner. The net gain from sales of our properties is first allocated among the partners in proportion to the negative balances, if any, in their respective capital accounts. Thereafter, except as provided below, net gain is allocated to the general partner in an amount equal to the proceeds distributed to the general partner from such sale and the balance of any net gain is allocated to the limited partners. If the amount of net gain realized from a sale is less than the amount of cash distributed to the general partner from such sale, we will allocate income or gain to the general partner in an amount equal to the excess of the cash distributed to the general partner with respect to such sale as quickly as permitted by law. Any net loss from a sale will be allocated to the limited partners.
Distributions of net sale proceeds will be allocated between the general partner and the limited partners based upon both an aggregate overall return to the limited partners and a separate return with respect to each parcel of land purchased by us.
As a general rule, net sale proceeds will be distributed 90% to the limited partners and 10% to the general partner until the limited partners have received from net sale proceeds (i) a return of their original capital plus (ii) a noncompounded cumulative preferred return of 15% of their invested capital. However, with respect to each parcel of land, the general partners 10% share will be subordinated until the limited partners receive a return of the original capital attributed to such parcel or parcel capital plus a 6% per annum noncompounded cumulative preferred return thereon.
After the amounts described in items (i) and (ii) above and any previously subordinated distributions to the general partner have been paid, and the amount of any supplemental capital contributions have been repaid to the general partner, subsequent distributions shall be paid 75% to the limited partners and 25% to the general partner without considering parcel capital. If, after all net sale proceeds have been distributed, the general partner has received more than 25% of all net sale proceeds (exclusive of distributions made to the limited partners to return their original capital), the general partner shall contribute to us for distribution to the limited partners an amount equal to such excess.
Any distributions from net sales proceeds at a time when invested capital is greater than zero shall be deemed applied first to the reduction of such invested capital before application to payment of any deficiency in the 15% cumulative preferred return.
We are permitted to engage in various transactions involving affiliates of our general partner, as described below.
Our general partner and its affiliates may be reimbursed (as set forth under terms of the partnership agreement) for its expenses or out-of-pocket costs relating to our administration. For the year ended December 31, 2010, such costs, included in general and administrative expenses to affiliates and professional services to affiliates, were $93,624, of which $8,780 was unpaid as of December 31, 2010.
An affiliate of our general partner performed marketing and advertising services for us and was reimbursed (as set forth under terms of the partnership agreement) for direct costs. For the year ended December 31, 2010, such costs were $10,966, of which $1,286 was unpaid as of December 31, 2010.
