(unaudited) Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 which are included in the Partnership's 2006 annual report, as certain footnote disclosures which would duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements have been omitted from this report. (1) Organization and Basis of Accounting Inland Land Appreciation Fund, L.P. (the "Partnership"), was formed in October 1987, pursuant to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, to invest in undeveloped land on an all-cash basis and realize appreciation of such land upon resale. On October 12, 1988, the Partnership commenced an offering of 10,000 (subject to increase to 30,000) limited partnership units or Units pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation is the General Partner. The offering terminated on October 6, 1989, with total sales of 30,000 Units, at $1,000 per Unit, not including the units purchased by the General Partner or the Initial Limited Partner. All of the holders of these Units were admitted to this Partnership. The Limited Partners of the Partnership share in their portion of benefits of ownership of the Partnership's real property investments according to the number of Units held. As of September 30, 2007, the Partnership had repurchased a total of 407.75 Units for $359,484 from various Limited Partners through the unit repurchase program. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications were made to the 2006 financial statements to conform with the 2007 presentation.  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.  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. Except as described in footnote (b) to Note 3 of these notes, the Partnership uses the area method of allocation, which approximates the relative sales method of allocation, whereby a per acre price is used as the standard allocation method for land purchases and sales. The total cost of the parcel is divided by the total number of acres to arrive at a per acre price.  New Accounting Pronouncements  In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48: Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. This Interpretation defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognizing, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Partnership determined that the adoption of Interpretation No. 48 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.    -6-  INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND, L.P.

 (unaudited) (3) Investments in Land and Improvements (continued)  (a) Included in the purchase agreement for Parcel 5 was a condition that required the Partnership to buy an option to purchase an additional 243 acres immediately to the west of this parcel.  The 1990 sale transaction relates to the sale of this option.  (b) The Partnership purchased, from two third parties, two sets of three contiguous parcels of land (Parcels 6, 7 and 8; and Parcels 9, 10 and 11). The General Partner believes that the total value of this land will be maximized if it is treated and marketed to buyers as six separate parcels and closed the transactions as six separate purchases to facilitate this. Parcels 6, 7 and 8 will be treated as one parcel and Parcels 9, 10 and 11 will be treated as one parcel for purposes of computing Parcel Capital (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and distributions to the Partners.

If this were to occur, the Partnership would be required to record an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying value over fair value.  In determining the value of an investment property and whether the property is impaired, management considers several factors such as projected capital expenditures and sales prices. The aforementioned factors are considered by management in determining the value of any particular property.  The value of any particular property is sensitive to the actual results of any of these uncertain factors, either individually or taken as a whole.  Should the actual results differ from management's 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 management's continuous process of analyzing each property. For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership had recorded no such impairment.  -11-  INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND, L.P.

 (unaudited) (4) Rental Income The Partnership has determined that all leases relating to the farm parcels are operating leases.  Accordingly, rental income is reported when earned. As of September 30, 2007, the Partnership had farm leases of generally one year in duration, for approximately 855 acres of the approximately 1,061 acres owned. (5) Mortgage Loans Receivable Mortgage loans receivable are the result of sales of Parcels, in whole or in part.  The Partnership has recorded a deferred gain on these sales.  The deferred gain will be recognized over the life of the related mortgage loan receivable as principal payments are received.  As of September 30, 2007, the mortgage loans receivable and the related deferred gain are fully reserved.

However, if we had followed that plan, there is a possibility that the limited partners may have been subject to unrelated business taxable income. Therefore, the Partnership sold the parcel to a third party developer whereby 100% of the sales price was represented by notes receivable from the buyer. The transaction was deemed an installment sale. After the sale, the developer, through a limited liability company (LLC), secured third party financing to cover the deferred down payment owed to the Partnership as well as provide proceeds to begin the development of the project. The sale was structured so that the down payment received at the time of the sale was sufficient to provide a distribution to the Limited Partners that equated to the parcel capital allocated to the parcel plus approximately a 6% return per annum on the parcel capital through the date of the distribution.  -12-  INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND, L.P.

(unaudited)  The velocity of the developer's individual lot sales was slower than originally projected and consequently the developer's carrying costs were higher. The developer obtained a loan from an affiliate of the General Partner. These funds were used for operating costs and to continue the development of the project. As a result of the slower lot sales, the net sale proceeds available to the Partnership were lower than anticipated. Management continued to review the project and determined that the collectability of the receivable was doubtful. As a result, management elected to reserve $1,233,175 of principal and $423,794 of accrued interest relating to the mortgage receivable. The deferred gain of $60,752 relating to the mortgage loans receivable was also reserved and recorded against bad debt expense. The General Partner guaranteed the third party development loans owed by the LLC. In reviewing the developments financial situation, the General Partner determined that it would be in its best interest to have an affiliate acquire the interest in the LLC. The General Partner and its affiliates concluded that they could better control the continuing costs to complete the development and would therefore have the best opportunity to limit their exposure under the guarantee agreements and possibly recover a portion of the amount owed to the Partnership. An affiliate of the General Partner acquired the interests in the LLC and paid off the debt under its guarantee of the LLC loans. The affiliate of the General Partner will complete the development and the sale of the project.   -13-  Item 2.

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, the ability to obtain annexation and zoning approvals required to develop our properties; the approval of local governing bodies to develop our properties; successful lobbying of local "no growth" or limited development homeowner groups; adverse changes in real estate, financing and general economic or local conditions; eminent domain proceedings; changes in the environmental conditions or changes in the environmental positions of governmental bodies; and potential conflicts of interest between us and our affiliates, including our general partner. We electronically file our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  The public may read and copy any of the reports that are filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 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. Critical Accounting Policies On December 12, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial Reporting Release or FRR No. 60 "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies."  A critical accounting policy is one that would materially affect our operations or financial condition, and requires management to make estimates or judgments in certain circumstances. We believe that our most critical accounting policies relate to how we value our investment properties and mortgage loans receivable, cost allocation 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 require companies 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, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, we conduct an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each property does not exceed its estimated fair value.  If this were to occur, we would be required to record an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying value over fair value. In determining the value of an investment property and whether the property is impaired, management considers several factors such as projected capital expenditures and sales prices. The aforementioned factors are considered by management in determining the value of any particular property.  The value of any particular property is sensitive to the actual results of any of these uncertain factors, either individually or taken as a whole.  Should the actual results differ from management's 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 management's continuous process of analyzing each property. As of September 30, 2007, we have recorded no such impairment.   -14-   Cost Allocation - Except as described in footnote (b) to Note 3 of the footnotes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report, we use the area method of cost allocation, which approximates the relative sales method of cost allocation, whereby a per acre price is used as the standard allocation method for land purchases and sales. The total cost of the parcel is divided by the total number of acres to arrive at a per acre price. Valuation of Mortgage Loans Receivable - On a quarterly basis, we conduct an analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each mortgage loan receivable is recoverable from the borrower.  If we determine that all or a portion of the receivable is not collectible, we would be required to record an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the amount estimated to be uncollectible. In determining the value of mortgage loans receivable, management considers projected sales proceeds available and expenses related to the property associated with the mortgage. Should the actual results differ from management's 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 management's continuous process of analyzing each mortgage loan receivable. As of September 30, 2007, we have recorded an allowance for doubtful account of $1,233,175 and $423,794 on the mortgage loan receivable and accrued interest receivable, respectively. Revenue Recognition - We recognize income from the sale of land parcels in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate".  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 September 30, 2007, we have not classified any properties as held for sale.  Liquidity and Capital Resources On October 12, 1988, we commenced an offering of 10,000 (subject to increase to 30,000) limited partnership units or units pursuant to a registered offering on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933.  On October 6, 1989, the offering terminated after we had sold 30,000 units to the public at $1,000 per unit resulting in $30,000,000 in gross offering proceeds, which does not include proceeds from the initial limited partner and the general partner.  All of the holders of our units were admitted to our partnership. Our limited partners share in their portion of benefits of ownership of our real property investments according to the number of units held.   -15-  We used $25,187,069 of gross offering proceeds to purchase on an all-cash basis twenty-five parcels of undeveloped land and an option to purchase undeveloped land. These investments included the payment of the purchase price, acquisition fees and acquisition costs of such properties. Fourteen of the parcels were purchased during 1989 and eleven during 1990.  As of September 30, 2007, we have had multiple sales transactions, through which we have disposed of approximately 2,041 acres of the approximately 3,102 acres originally owned. As of September 30, 2007, cumulative distributions to the limited partners have totaled $37,169,906 (which exceeds the original capital) and $4,545,451 to the general partner. Through September 30, 2007, we have used $19,503,876 of working capital for rezoning and other activities. Such amounts have been capitalized and are included in investments in land. Our capital needs and resources will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the extent to which we conduct rezoning and other activities relating to utility access, the installation of roads, subdivision and/or annexation of land to a municipality, changes in real estate taxes affecting our land, and the amount of revenue received from leasing.  As of September 30, 2007, we owned, in whole or in part, ten of our twenty-five original parcels, the majority of which are leased to local farmers and are generating sufficient cash flow from farm leases to cover property taxes and insurance. At September 30, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4,007,478, 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.  The sale of the balance of the residential portion of Parcels 6 and 7 occurred on August 22, 2007.  Undistributed net sales proceeds will be used to fund our operations, including property upgrades, and for distributions.  We will evaluate our cash needs throughout the year to determine any future distributions. 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.  Parcels 6 and 7 have completed and sold two phases of improved lots zoned for an industrial park.  The remaining phase consisting of five lots is being marketed for sale.  Zoning discussions and land planning are in progress on Parcels 14, 17, 18, 19 and 22. Transactions with Related Parties Our general partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for salaries and expenses of employees of the general partner and its affiliates relating to our administration. Such costs of $36,723 and $41,670 are included in professional services to affiliates and general and administrative expenses to affiliates for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, of which $10,436 and $5,006 was unpaid as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. An affiliate of our general partner performed marketing and advertising services for us and was reimbursed for direct costs. Such costs of $13,215 and $21,136 have been incurred and are included in marketing expenses to affiliates for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, of which $2,713 and $4,443 was unpaid as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. An affiliate of the general partner performed property upgrades, rezoning, annexation and other activities to prepare our parcels for sale and was reimbursed for salaries and direct costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we incurred $117,011 and $156,285, respectively, of such costs. The affiliate did not recognize a profit on any project. Such costs are included in investments in land, of which $23,519 and $39,515 was unpaid as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.   -16-  Results of Operations As of September 30, 2007, we owned ten parcels of land consisting of approximately 1,061 acres. Of the 1,061 acres owned, approximately 855 acres are tillable, leased to local farmers and generate sufficient cash flow to cover property taxes, insurance and other miscellaneous expenses.  Rental income was $104,270 and $123,515 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. The decrease in rental income is due to the decrease in tillable acres.  Sales of investment properties of $2,735,825 and cost of land sold of $1,921,779 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is the result of the sale of approximately 82 acres of Parcels 6 and 7 which includes approximately 22 acres of residential land and the conveyance of approximately 60 acres of common area acreage including storm water retention land, a pond, roads and a park dedicated to the United City of Yorkville.  Sale of investment property of $3,046,294 and cost of land sold of $702,839 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is the result of the sale of approximately 33 acres of Parcel 6.  Interest income was $60,049 and $58,217 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. The increase in interest income is primarily a result of an increase in cash available to invest on a short term basis during the period.  Professional services to non-affiliates were $32,867 and $44,605 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The decrease in professional services to non-affiliates is due to a decrease in accounting fees.  General and administrative expenses to affiliates were $5,930 and $12,615 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.  The decrease in 2007 is due primarily to a decrease in data processing expenses.  General and administrative expenses to non-affiliates were $18,916 and $21,910 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.  The decrease in 2007 is due to a decrease in printing and postage expenses due to fewer mailings.  Marketing expenses to affiliates were $13,215 and $21,136 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Marketing expenses to affiliates are costs incurred for preparing and marketing parcels for sale.  Marketing expenses to non-affiliates were $26,248 and $37,041 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.  The decrease is due to nonrecurring signage expenditures in 2006.  Land operating expenses to non-affiliates were $32,343 and $41,494 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.  The decrease in land operating expenses is due to a decrease in grounds maintenance expenses.  We determined that the maximum value of Parcels 1, 15, 21 and 23 could be realized if the parcels were developed and sold as individual lots. However, if we had followed that plan, there is a possibility that the limited partners may have been subject to unrelated business taxable income. Therefore, we sold the parcels to a third party developer whereby 100% of the sales price was represented by notes receivable from the buyer. The transactions were deemed installment sales. After the sales, the developer, through a limited liability company or LLCs, secured third party financing to cover the deferred down payment owed to us as well as provide proceeds to begin the development of the project. The sales were structured so that the deferred down payment received was sufficient to provide a distribution to our limited partners that equated to the invested capital allocated to the parcel (parcel capital) plus approximately a 6% return per annum on the parcel capital through the date of the distribution.  The velocity of the developer's individual lot sales was slower than originally projected and consequently the developer's carrying costs were higher. The developer obtained a loan from an affiliate of our general partner. These funds were used for operating costs and to continue the development of the project.  As a result of the slower lot sales, the net sale proceeds available to us were lower than anticipated. We continued to review the project and determined that the collectability of the receivable was doubtful. As a result, we elected to reserve $1,233,175 of principal and  -17-  $423,794 of accrued interest relating to the mortgage receivable. The deferred gain of $60,752 relating to the mortgage loans receivable was also reserved and recorded against bad debt expense.  Our general partner guaranteed the third party development loans owed by the limited liability company. In reviewing the developments financial situation, our general partner determined that it would be in its best interest to have an affiliate acquire the interest in the LLC. The general partner and its affiliates concluded that they could better control the continuing costs to complete the development and would therefore have the best opportunity to limit their exposure under the guarantee agreements and possibly recover a portion of the amount owed to us. An affiliate of our general partner acquired the interest in the LLC and paid off the debt under its guarantee of the LLC loans. The affiliate of the general partner will complete the development and sale of the project. Based on our continuing review of developments financial situation, we do not anticipate receiving any additional proceeds. However, any write-off will not take place until such time as we are certain that no further proceeds will become available to reduce the amount of the receivable. Our limited partners received distributions that equated to the parcel capital plus approximately a 6% return per annum on the parcel capital through the date of the distribution.  Other items  In accordance with Article XVI Section 16.1 of the Inland Land Appreciation Fund, L.P. Partnership Agreement and IRS Regulation Section 1.7704-1(j), we have reached the maximum threshold of partnership units that can be transferred/assigned during 2007. Therefore, no other sales of partnership interests can take place during the remainder of 2007.  Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk  Not Applicable.  Item 4.  Controls and Procedures  Our general partner conducted, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.  Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to material information that is required to be disclosed in the periodic reports that we must file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
