INLAND'S MONTHLY INCOME FUND, L.P.
(a limited partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2004
(unaudited)

Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the Partnership's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, which are included in the Partnership's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements have been omitted from this Report.

(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting

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

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented herein.  Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 financial statements to conform to the 2004 presentations.

In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46") "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities and Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51", which was revised in December 2003.  The primary objectives of FIN No. 46 are to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights (Variable Interest Entities) and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the Variable Interest Entity (the Primary Beneficiary).  FIN 46 became effective for the Partnership as of March 31, 2004. FIN 46 does not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial condition and results of operations.

(2)  Deferred Rent Receivable

Certain tenant leases contain provisions providing for stepped rent increases. Generally accepted accounting principles require that rental income be recorded for the period of occupancy on a straight-line basis. The accompanying financial statements include a decrease of $12,512 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 of rental income for the period of occupancy for which stepped rent increases apply and $209,718 and $222,230 in related deferred rent receivable as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. These amounts are expected to be collected over the terms of the related leases as scheduled rent payments are made.

(3) Transactions with Affiliates

The General Partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for salaries and expenses of employees of the General Partner and its affiliates relating to the administration of the Partnership, of which $10,922 and $11,702 remained unpaid at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

An affiliate of the General Partner is entitled to receive property management fees for management and leasing services. The Partnership has incurred property management fees of $10,760 and $11,727 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Such fees are included in property operating expenses to affiliates and discontinued operations, all of which have been paid as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

In connection with the sale of McHenry Plaza Shopping Center on July 19, 2000, the Partnership recorded $68,700 of sales commission payable to an affiliate of the general partner.  Such commission has been deferred until the limited partners receive their original capital plus a return as specified in the partnership agreement.

In connection with the sale of Rantoul Wal-Mart on August 5, 2000, the Partnership recorded $82,500 of sales commission payable to an affiliate of the general partner.  Such commission has been deferred until the limited partners receive their original capital plus a return as specified in the partnership agreement.

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

(4)  Sale of Investment Property

On June 30, 2004, the Partnership sold the Scandinavian Health Club for $3,700,000 and recorded a gain of approximately $1,452,000.  Proceeds from the sale were used to repay the long term debt of $1,515,000.

(5)  Subsequent Events

The Partnership paid a distribution of $90,518 on October 10, 2004.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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

We electronically file our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  The public may read and copy any of the reports that are filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 405 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549.  The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference room by calling the SEC at (800)-SEC-0330.  The SEC maintains an Internet site at (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically.



On December 12, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial Reporting Release or FRR No. 60 "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies."  A critical accounting policy is one that would materially effect our operations or financial condition, and requires management to make estimates or judgements in certain circumstances. We believe that our most critical accounting policies relate to how we value our investment properties and mortgage loans receivable, recognize revenue, and our cost capitalization and depreciation policies. These judgements often result from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  The purpose of the FRR is to provide investors with an understanding of how management forms these policies.  Critical accounting policies discussed in this section are not to be confused with accounting principles and methods disclosed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or GAAP.  GAAP requires information in financial statements about accounting principles, methods used and disclosures pertaining to significant estimates.  The following disclosure discusses judgements known to management pertaining to trends, events or uncertainties known which were taken into consideration upon the application of those policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported upon taking into consideration different conditions and assumptions.

Valuation of Investment Properties -On a quarterly basis, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, we conduct an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each property does not exceed its estimated fair value.  If this were to occur, we would be required to record an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying value over fair value.

In determining the value of an investment property and whether the property is impaired, management considers several factors such as projected rental and vacancy rates, property operating expenses, capital expenditures and interest rates.  The capitalization and discount rates used to determine property valuation are based on the market in which the property is located, length of leases, tenant financial strength, the economy in general, demographics, environment, property location, visibility, age, physical condition and investor return requirements among others. All of the aforementioned factors are considered by management in determining the value of any particular property.  The value of any particular property is sensitive to the actual results of any of these uncertain factors, either individually or taken as a whole.  Should the actual results differ from management's judgement, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected.

The valuation and possible subsequent impairment of investment properties is a significant estimate that can and does change based on management's continuous process of analyzing each property.

Valuation of Mortgage Loans Receivable-On a quarterly basis, we conduct an analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each mortgage loan receivable is recoverable from the borrower.  If we determine that all or a portion of the receivable is not collectible, we would be required to record an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the amount estimated to be uncollectible.

In determining the value of mortgage loans receivable, management considers several factors such as projected sales proceeds and expenses related to the property associated with the mortgage. Should the actual results differ from management's judgement, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected.

The valuation and possible subsequent allowance for doubtful accounts is a significant estimate that can and does change based on management's continuous process of analyzing each mortgage loan receivable.

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

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



On August 3, 1987, we commenced an offering of 50,000 (increased to 60,000) limited partnership units or units pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The offering terminated on August 3, 1988, after we had sold 59,999 units at $500 per unit, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $29,999,500, not including the general partner's contribution of $500. All of the holders of our units have been admitted to our partnership. We acquired seven properties using $25,831,542 of capital proceeds collected. During 1994 and 1995, we sold the thirty-eight six-unit condominium buildings comprising the Schaumburg Terrace condominium complex. Also, we sold one of the three lots adjacent to the Hillside Living Center during September 1997. In 2000, we sold McHenry Plaza and the Rantoul Wal-Mart. In 2001, we sold the 35-unit retirement apartment center, known as Douglas Towers, which was part of the Douglas Living and Retirement Center. In June 2004, we sold the sold the Scandinavian Health Club.  As of September 30, 2004, cumulative distributions to limited partners totaled $50,592,520, including $2,095,863 of supplemental capital contributions from the general partner, which represents distributable cash flow from the properties. We repurchased 713 units for $356,676 from various limited partners through the unit repurchase program. There are no funds remaining for the repurchase of units through this program.

---

As of September 30, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of $811,740, which includes approximately $78,700 expected to be used for the payment of real estate taxes for Douglas and Hillside Living Centers. As of September 30, 2004, we have received prepayments on all of the original 37 mortgage loans receivable relating to the sale of Schaumburg Terrace. A portion of these repayment proceeds were included in the distributions to the limited partners during prior years. We intend to use the remaining funds for future distributions, repayment of liabilities and for working capital requirements.

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

Due to the payoff of the mortgage receivables relating to the sale of Schaumburg Terrace and additional property expenses incurred relating to Douglas Towers, the properties we own, along with the interest received on the Schaumburg Terrace mortgage receivables, did not generate sufficient cash flow to meet the 8% annualized distributions to the limited partners (paid monthly), in addition to covering all our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  As a result, we have relied on working capital retained from the principal payoffs of the Schaumburg Terrace receivable to meet our cash requirements. To the extent that future cash flow is insufficient to meet our requirements, we may rely on working capital reserve, supplemental capital contributions from our general partner, advances from affiliates of our general partner, other short-term financing, or may sell one or more of the properties.

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 $44,326 and $53,080 are included in professional services to affiliates and general and administrative expenses to affiliates for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, of which $10,922 and $11,702 remained unpaid at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

An affiliate of our general partner is entitled to receive property management fees for management and leasing services. We have incurred property management fees of $10,760 and $11,727 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Such fees are included in property operating expenses to affiliates and discontinued operations, all of which have been paid as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

In connection with the sale of McHenry Plaza Shopping Center on July 19, 2000, we recorded $68,700 of sales commission payable to an affiliate of our general partner.  Such commission has been deferred until the limited partners receive their original capital plus a return as specified in the partnership agreement.

In connection with the sale of Rantoul Wal-Mart on August 5, 2000, we recorded $82,500 of sales commission payable to an affiliate of our general partner.  Such commission has been deferred until the limited partners receive their original capital plus a return as specified in the partnership agreement.

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

As of September 30, 2004, we own three operating properties. All of these properties were leased on a "triple-net" basis which means that all expenses of the property are passed through to the tenant.

The gain on the sale of investment property recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 is the result of the recognition of deferred gain of $58,121 and $59,244, respectively, from the Schaumburg Terrace condominium sales being recognized as cash is received on the related financing extended by us to the individual purchasers.  On June 30, 2004, we sold the Scandinavian Health Club for $3,700,000 and recorded a gain of approximately $1,452,000.

Interest income was $19,951 and $30,654 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  The decrease is due to a decrease in interest income on third party mortgages, as a result of prepayments of mortgage loans receivable and due to a decrease in investment income due to lower interest rates.

Professional services to affiliates were $14,788 and $18,547 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  The decrease in 2004 was due to a decrease in accounting and legal fees paid to affiliates. Professional services to non-affiliates were $37,903 and $31,762 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in 2004 was due to an increase in accounting fees.

General and administrative expenses to non-affiliates were $24,420 and $49,425 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  The decrease in general and administrative expenses to non-affiliates for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, is due primarily to a decrease in state taxes paid.

Property operating expenses to non-affiliates were $2,767 and $28,456 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Property operating expenses to non-affiliates decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, due to property level expenses relating to Douglas Towers that we paid in 2003 while in the process of obtaining title to the property.
