PART I

Item 1. Business

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

We are engaged in the business of real estate investment which management considers being a single operating segment. A presentation of information about operating segments would not be material to an understanding of our business taken as a whole.

We acquired fee ownership of the following real property investments:

1. Reference is made to Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements (Item 8 of this Annual Report) for additional descriptions of our real property investments.
2. Reference is made to Notes 4 and 7 of the Notes to Financial Statements (Item 8 of this Annual Report) for the current outstanding principal balance and a description of the long-term mortgage indebtedness.
3. Reference is made to Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements (Item 8 of this Annual Report) for a description of the sale of our investment property.

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

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

|Significant net operating leases   | 2002 | 2001 | 2000
|---------------------------------- | ---- | ---- | ----
|                                   |      |      |     
|Elite Care Corporation "Elite"     | 51%  | 46%  | 38% 
|                                   |      |      |     
|Scandinvian Health Spa, Inc. "SHS" | 20%  | 18%  | 15% 
|                                   |      |      |     
|Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.              | 15%  | 13%  | 18% 

During January 2000, the leases with Elite were amended and extended for terms of five years each.  As part of the lease extension on the Douglas Living and Retirement Center, Elite requested that they be released from the management of Douglas Towers, the 35-unit retirement apartment center.  As Elite did not request any additional consideration, such as a rent reduction, we agreed and took over management of the apartments in May 2000.  In August 2001, we sold the apartment center on an installment basis. The installment purchaser defaulted on his payments in 2002.  We were appointed mortgagee in possession in December 2002.  Foreclosure proceedings were initiated in January 2003. Upon receipt of title to the property, the general partner will market the property for resale.

Elite, the tenant of the Hillside Nursing Home and Douglas Nursing Home, made the deferred rental payment which was due on February 1, 2001. The general partner and Elite entered into revised ten-year lease extensions, which began as of July 1, 2001. Under the new leases, Elite received a 10% rental rate reduction. Effective March 1, 2003, the general partner has executed amendments to the Elite leases, due to economic conditions in the nursing home industry, which eliminate the increases in rent over the term of the leases.

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

We had no employees during 2002.

Our general partner and its affiliates provide services to us. The general partner and its affiliates are reimbursed for salaries and expenses of employees of the general partner and its affiliates relating to the administration of the partnership. An affiliate of the general partner receives a property management fee for management and leasing services relating to our properties.

1. No assumptions have been made regarding the releasing of expired leases. It is the opinion of the general partner that the space will be released at market rates.
2. The general partner has executed an amendment of this lease through September 30, 2013. Annual base rent will be increased from $359,094 to $383,231 per year commencing April 1, 2003.  As part of the extension, we will advance $400,000 for tenant improvements and equipment at the property. The modification of this lease is included in the table above.
3. The general partner has executed amendments to the Elite leases, effective March 1, 2003, which eliminate the increases in rent over the term of the leases. The modification of these leases is included in the table above.

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

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 3, 1987, we commenced an offering of 50,000 (increased to 60,000) limited partnership units pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The offering terminated on August 3, 1988, after we had sold 59,999 units at $500 per unit, resulting in gross offering proceeds of  $29,999,500, not including the general partner's contribution of $500. All of the holders of our units have been admitted to our partnership. We acquired seven properties utilizing $25,831,542 of capital proceeds collected. During 1994 and 1995, we sold the thirty-eight six-unit condominium buildings comprising the Schaumburg Terrace condominium complex. Also, we sold one of the three lots adjacent to the Hillside Living Center during September 1997. In 2000, we sold McHenry Plaza and the Rantoul Wal-Mart. In 2001, we sold the 35-unit retirement apartment center which was part of the Douglas Living and Retirement Center.  As of December 31, 2002, cumulative distributions to limited partners totaled $45,321,691, including $2,095,863 of supplemental capital contributions from the general partner, which represents distributable cash flow from the properties. We repurchased 713 units for $356,676 from various limited partners through the unit repurchase program. There are no funds remaining for the repurchase of units through this program.

As of December 31, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,904,517, which includes approximately  $105,000 for the payment of real estate taxes for Douglas and Hillside Living Centers. During 2002, we received prepayments on ten of the twelve mortgage loans receivable outstanding at January 1, 2002. Repayment proceeds from these prepayments and monthly amortization totaled $2,163,315. During 2001, we received prepayments on three of the mortgage loans receivable. Repayment proceeds from these prepayments and monthly amortization totaled $717,044. During 2000, we received prepayments on eight of the thirty-two mortgage loans receivable on the six-unit condominium buildings comprising the Schaumburg Terrace condominium complex. Repayment proceeds from these prepayments and monthly amortization totaled $2,060,693. A portion of these repayment proceeds were included in the distributions to the limited partners in 2002, 2001 and 2000. We intend to use the remaining funds for future distributions and for working capital requirements.

The properties owned by us, along with the interest received on the Schaumburg Terrace mortgage receivables, are generating sufficient cash flow to meet the 8% annualized distributions to the Limited Partners (paid monthly), in addition to covering all our operating expenses. To the extent that the cash flow is insufficient to meet our needs, we may rely on supplemental capital contributions from the general partner, advances from affiliates of the general partner, other short-term financing, or may sell one or more of the properties.

The general partner has executed an amendment of the SHS lease through September 30, 2013. Annual base rent will be increased from $359,094 to $383,231 per year commencing April 1, 2003.  As part of the extension, we will advance $400,000 for tenant improvements and equipment at the property.

Results of Operations

As of December 31, 2002, we own four 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. 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.

During January 2000, the leases with Elite were amended and extended for terms of five years each.  As part of the lease extension on the Douglas Living and Retirement Center, Elite requested that they be released from the management of the 35-unit retirement apartment center known as Douglas Towers.  As Elite did not request any additional consideration at that time, such as a rent reduction, we agreed and took over management of the apartments in May 2000.  We sold the apartment center in August 2001 on an installment basis. The installment purchaser defaulted on his payments in 2002.  We were appointed mortgagee in possession in December 2002.  Foreclosure proceedings were initiated in January 2003. Upon receipt of title to the property, the general partner will market the property for resale.

Elite made the deferred rental payment due February 2001. The general partner and Elite entered into a revised ten-year lease extension, which began as of July 1, 2001. Under the new lease, Elite received a 10% rental rate reduction. Although the annual rent was decreased, the effective annual rent over the term of the new lease increased. Effective March 1, 2003, the general partner has executed amendments to the Elite leases which eliminate the increases in rent over the term of the leases.

The gain on the sale of investment property recorded for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 is the result of deferred gain of $649,215, $218,349 and $589,358, respectively, from the Schaumburg Terrace condominium sales being recognized as cash is received on the related financing extended by the Partnership to the individual purchasers. The gain on the sale of investment property for the year ended December 31, 2001 is also due to the sale of the Douglas Towers 35-unit apartment center. The gain on the sale of investment property for the year ended December 31, 2000 is also due to the sale of McHenry Plaza and the Rantoul Wal-Mart. We recognized gains on the sales of these two properties of $912,511 and $794,026, respectively.  Reference is made to Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements (Item 8 of this Annual Report) for a description of the sale of our investment property.

Rental income decreased from $1,642,085 for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $1,559,885 for the year ended December 31, 2002, due to the sale of the Douglas Towers apartment center in 2001. Rental income decreased from $1,861,560 for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $1,642,085 for the year ended December 31, 2001, due to the sale of McHenry Plaza in July, 2000 and the sale of the Rantoul Wal-Mart in November, 2000. In 2001, this decrease was partially offset by an increase in the effective annual rent on the nursing homes and an increase in rent received from the operation of the Douglas Towers 35-unit apartment center.

Interest income decreased from $426,923 in 2000 to $288,219 in 2001 and $187,908 in 2002, 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 in 2002 and 2001.

Professional services to Affiliates decreased from $26,090 in 2000 to $22,845 in 2001 and $15,273 in 2002, due to a decrease in accounting and legal fees paid to affiliates. Professional services to non-affiliates increased from $31,961 for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $34,333 for the year ended December 31, 2001, due to an increase in accounting fees.

General and administrative expenses to affiliates decreased from $28,377 for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $24,421 for the year ended December 31, 2002, due to a decrease in postage expense. General and administrative expenses to affiliates decreased from $44,144  for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $28,377 for the year ended December 31, 2001, due to decreases in data processing, postage and investor services expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses to non-affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2000, is due primarily to an increase in state taxes paid.

Property operating expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates decreased for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2000 due to the sale of the Douglas Towers apartment center in 2001 and the sale of McHenry Plaza Shopping Center and the Rantoul Wal-Mart in 2000.

Inflation



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

INLAND'S MONTHLY INCOME FUND, L.P.
(a limited partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000

(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 principals 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.



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



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



Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121  "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS No. 121") requires the Partnership to record an impairment loss on its property to be held for investment whenever its carrying value cannot be fully recovered through estimated undiscounted future cash flows from their operations and sale. The amount of the impairment loss to be recognized would be the difference between the property's carrying value and the properties estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2001, the Partnership had not recognized any such impairment losses under SFAS 121.



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



Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives. Buildings and improvements are based upon estimated useful lives of 30 to 40 years, while furniture and fixtures are based upon estimated useful lives of 5 to 12 years. Repair and maintenance expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Significant improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Tenant improvements are depreciated over the related lease term.

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



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



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



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



The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP. The Federal income tax return has been prepared from such records after making appropriate adjustments relating to depreciation and the Supplemental Capital Contributions to reflect the Partnership's accounts as adjusted for Federal income tax reporting purposes.  Such adjustments are not recorded in the records of the Partnership.  The net effect of these items is summarized as follows:





|                                        | 2002                                      2001

|Net income per Limited Partnership Unit |                                               

The net income per Unit is based upon the weighted average number of Units of 59,285.65.

A presentation of information about operating segments as required in SFAS No.  131  "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" would not be material to an understanding of the Partnership's business taken as a whole as the Partnership is engaged in the business of real estate investment which management considers to be a single operating segment.



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



(2) Partnership Agreement



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



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

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

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



The General Partner is required to make Supplemental Capital Contributions, if necessary, from time to time in amounts sufficient to allow the Partnership to make distributions to the Limited Partners to provide a noncompounded return on their invested capital equal to 8% per annum.  There were no such contributions by the General Partner to fund the cumulative preferred return of 8% per annum for the three-year period ended December 31, 2002.  The cumulative amount of such Supplemental Capital Contributions at December 31, 2002 is $2,095,863.

An Affiliate of the General Partner is entitled to receive property management fees for management and leasing services.

Douglas Living and Retirement Center, Mattoon, Illinois

As part of the lease extension, Elite requested that they be released from the management of the 35-unit retirement apartment center.  As Elite did not request any additional consideration at this time, such as a rent reduction, the Partnership agreed and took over management of the apartments in May 2000.  The Partnership sold the apartment center in August 2001 on an installment basis. The installment purchaser defaulted on his payments in 2002.  The Partnership was appointed mortgagee in possession in December 2002.  Foreclosure proceedings were initiated in January 2003.

Under the new lease, Elite received a 10% rental rate reduction. Although the annual rent was decreased, the effective annual rent over the term of the new lease increased. The tenant has the right to extend the lease for an additional five-year term. The current rent per annum is $429,935 and adjusts annually. The General Partner has executed an amendment to the Elite lease, effective March 1, 2003, which eliminates the increases in rent over the term of the lease. See Note 8.

Under the new lease, Elite received a 10% rental rate reduction. Although the annual rent was decreased, the effective annual rent over the term of the new lease increased. The Partnership received the deferred rent totaling $57,438 in July 2001. The tenant has the right to extend the lease for an additional five-year term. The current rent per annum is $384,606 and adjusts annually.

(5) Gain on Sale of Investment Property

As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership had sold all of the thirty-eight six-unit condominium buildings comprising the Schaumburg Terrace condominium complex to unaffiliated third parties.  The Partnership received $249,596 from one all-cash sale and recorded a gain of  $71,865 in 1994. In addition, the Partnership received $823,518 in down payment proceeds, and provided mortgage loans totaling $8,701,439 to the purchasers for the thirty-seven additional sales. The current principal balances of the remaining two loans are approximately $212,900 and $213,300. These loans require monthly principal and interest payments totaling approximately $3,000 based on an interest rate of 8.625% per annum for ten years and a thirty-year amortization period with payment of all remaining principal at the end of that period. The Partnership has recorded $649,215, $218,349 and $589,358 of gain as a result of these installment sales in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. During 2002, the Partnership received prepayments on ten of the remaining twelve mortgage loans receivable on the six-unit condominium buildings comprising the Schaumburg Terrace condominium complex. Repayment proceeds from these prepayments and monthly amortization total $2,163,315 and, accordingly, the Partnership recognized $649,215 of previously deferred gain. The remaining deferred gain of $115,861 as of December 31, 2002 will be recognized over the life of the related mortgage loans as principal payments are received.



On August 24, 2001, the Partnership sold the 35 unit apartment center known as Douglas Towers for approximately $525,000.  The Partnership provided a mortgage loan receivable of approximately $462,600 to the buyer and recorded a gain of approximately $10,300.

On July 19, 2000, the Partnership sold McHenry Plaza to an unaffiliated third party for $3,290,000.  The Partnership recorded a gain on sale of $912,511 as a result of this sale.  Proceeds from the sale were distributed to the Limited Partners in August 2000.



On November 17, 2000, the Partnership sold the Rantoul Wal-Mart to an unaffiliated third party for $2,750,000. The Partnership recorded a gain on sale of $794,026 as a result of this sale.  Proceeds of $985,000 were used to paydown the debt secured by the property.  Remaining proceeds from the sale were distributed to the Limited Partners in December 2000.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the fair market value of the mortgage loans receivable approximated their carrying value.

(6) Operating Leases



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 an increase of $107,592 and decreases of $67,117 and $144,793 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, of rental income for the period of occupancy for which stepped rent increases apply and $238,911 and  $131,319 in related deferred rent receivable as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These amounts will be collected over the terms of the related leases as scheduled rent payments are made.



Remaining lease terms of the Partnership's properties range from nine years to twelve years. Minimum lease payments to be received in the future from operating leases are as follows:



|2003       | $ | 1,482,613 
|---------- | - | ----------
|2004       |   | 1,488,648 
|2005       |   | 1,491,903 
|2006       |   | 1,501,668 
|2007       |   | 1,501,668 
|Thereafter |   | 7,050,881 
|           |   |           
|Total      | $ | 14,517,381

(7) Long-Term Debt



On April 30, 1999, the Partnership refinanced the original $1,700,000 loan collateralized by the Rantoul Wal-Mart. The replacement loan was for $2,500,000 and was collateralized by the Rantoul Wal-Mart and the Duncan Wal-Mart. Due to the sale of the Rantoul Wal-Mart, $985,000 was repaid. The replacement loan bears an interest rate of 6.97% as compared to the interest rate of 9.75% on the original loan. The replacement loan requires monthly interest only payments and matures on April 30, 2004. The Partnership distributed excess refinancing proceeds to the limited partners on June 10, 1999.



The fair market value of mortgages payable is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The fair market value of the Partnership's mortgage is estimated to be $1,533,000 and $1,546,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Partnership estimates the fair value of its mortgages payable by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to the Partnership for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by the Partnership's lenders.



(8) Subsequent Events, unaudited

On January 10, 2003, the Partnership paid a distribution of $114,175 to the Limited Partners.

The General Partner has executed amendments to the Elite leases, effective March 1, 2003, which eliminates the increases in rent over the term of the lease.



The General Partner has executed an amendment of this lease through September 30, 2013. Annual base rent will be increased from $359,094 to $383,231 per year commencing April 1, 2003.  As part of the extension, the Partnership will advance $400,000 for tenant improvements and equipment at the property.
