INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND II, L.P.

(a limited partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2017

(unaudited)

Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in the Partnership’s 2016 annual report, 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 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 Partner’s capital contribution of $500. All of the holders of these Units have been admitted to the Partnership. Through June 30, 2017, the Partnership had repurchased a total of 408.65 Units for $383,822 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.

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 value. The Partnership maintains its cash and cash equivalents at a financial institution. The account balances at the financial institution exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage of $250,000 on accounts 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 institution’s non-performance.

The Partnership recognizes income from the sale of land parcels in accordance with the full accrual method of accounting.

The Partnership’s escrow agent holds earnest money deposits from a prospective purchaser when an agreement for sale is executed. Generally, these funds are not the Partnership’s 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.

The Partnership uses the area 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. Repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 that introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and

Notes to Financial Statements

(unaudited)

changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Partnership has evaluated the impact of the adoption of this guidance and as a result of the evaluation does not expect it will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases, which requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying assets for the term, and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The standard requires the use of a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. Early application is permitted. The Partnership has evaluated the impact of the adoption of this guidance and as a result of the evaluation does not expect it will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As of December 31, 2016 and for the six months ending June 30, 2017, there are no longer any farm leases in place.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 that amends the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments, to reduce the diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

(2) Transactions with Affiliates

The General Partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for salaries and expenses of employees of the General Partner and its affiliates relating to the administration of the Partnership. Such costs of $51,391 and $51,275 have been incurred and are included in professional services to affiliates and general and administrative expenses to affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There are $7,492 and $16,190 in unpaid professional services to affiliates and general and administrative expenses to affiliates as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

An affiliate of the General Partner performed land improvements, rezoning, annexation and other activities to prepare the Partnership’s investment properties for sale and was reimbursed (as set forth under terms of the Partnership Agreement) for salaries and direct costs. Such costs of $0 and $1,289 have been incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Such costs are included in investment properties, of which $0 and $0 was unpaid as of June 30, 2017 and as of December 31, 2016, respectively. Also, an affiliate of the General Partner supervises the maintenance of the parcels. Such costs of $3,205 and $1,575 are included in land operating expenses to affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of which $610 and $1,200 was unpaid as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

As of June 30, 2017, the Partnership held all cash and cash equivalents with Inland Bank and Trust, an affiliate of the General Partner.

(3) Investment Properties

As of June 30, 2017, the Partnership owned one parcel of land consisting of approximately 44 acres.

On January 10, 2017, the Partnership entered into a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement with a third party purchaser to sell approximately 30 acres of Parcel 20 for a sales price of $2,800,000. The land is being sold “AS IS” but subject to usual and customary closing conditions. In addition, the contract is contingent on the purchaser obtaining necessary

INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND II, L.P.

(a limited partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2017

(unaudited)

municipal approvals for a multi-family development. Provided the buyer performs pursuant to the terms of the contract and the municipal approvals are obtained, the sale is expected to occur during the latter part of 2017 and will result in the Partnership recognizing a gain on sale for financial statement purposes of approximately $600,000, before proration adjustments, selling costs and transfer taxes.

 

(a) The Partnership has taken the steps necessary to reduce costs and maintain sufficient reserves of cash and cash equivalents to cover all costs for an extended period of time. As of June 30, 2017, there were no farm leases in place. During April 2016, a farm lease was signed for the tillable portion of Parcel 20. The rental income from this lease covered the real estate taxes and insurance expense for 2016. Our general partner has agreed to make a supplemental capital contribution to the Partnership to the extent that real estate taxes and insurance payable with respect to our land during a given calendar year exceeds the revenue earned by us from leasing our land during such year. Since there currently are no farm leases in place, the general partner is anticipating making a supplemental capital contribution at the end of the calendar year for the real estate tax and insurance expense. As of June 30, 2017, estimated real estate tax expense and insurance expense totals $6,684. 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. Our remaining land is not encumbered by debt and is located in an area that we believe is in the path of future development. As such, the Partnership has the ability to hold on to the remaining parcel until such time as a reasonable and acceptable offer is received; however, management formally changed its intent from holding the remaining parcel for an indefinite period of time to attempting to sell the parcel by the end of the year.

In addition, 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, assessment of current economic conditions, and management’s intent to hold on to a property until such time as a reasonable and acceptable offer is received. The aforementioned 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 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. During the first quarter of 2016, management formally changed its intent from holding the remaining parcels for an indefinite period of time to attempting to sell the parcels in the next year. Management deemed the change in intent as a trigger for impairment. In addition, as a result of the sale of Parcel 8 on April 15, 2016, the Partnership has only one remaining land parcel. Based on the knowledge of recent real estate market data gathered for the auction of Parcel 20 in 2016 and the recent offer currently being negotiated, as discussed in the subsequent event footnote, management determined the value of the parcel was impaired. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Partnership recorded an impairment of $1,235,000 and $2,680,000, respectively on Parcel 20, which reduced the remaining book value to the estimated fair value. Subsequent costs incurred above the estimated fair value for the remaining parcel continue to be expensed and included in land operating expenses.

The value of the investment property owned as of June 30, 2017 was measured utilizing Level 3 inputs, which represents fair value.

(4) Rental Income

The Partnership had determined during 2016 that all leases relating to the farm parcels were operating leases. Accordingly, rental income was reported when earned.

As of June 30, 2017, there were no farm leases in place. During April 2016, a farm lease terminating on December 31, 2016 was signed for the tillable portion of Parcel 20. Our general partner has agreed to make a supplemental capital contribution to the Partnership, if and to the extent that real estate taxes and insurance payable with respect to our land during a given calendar year exceeds the revenue earned by us from leasing our land during such year. Since there currently are no farm leases in place, the general partner is anticipating making a supplemental capital contribution at the end of the calendar year for the real estate tax and insurance expense.

(5) 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 Partnership’s 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.

The Partnership is currently negotiating a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of the remaining 14 acres of Parcel 20 not under contract. Provided acceptable terms are reached and a contract is executed, the sale would be expected to close prior to the end of the calendar year.

There are no other subsequent events to report that would have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The SEC 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, classify and allocate costs of our investment properties 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 the 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, assessment of current economic conditions and management’s intent to hold the remaining parcels until such time as reasonable and acceptable offers are received. 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 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. During the first quarter of 2016, management formally changed its intent from holding the remaining parcels for an indefinite period of time to attempting to sell the parcels by the end of the year. Management deemed the change in intent as a trigger for impairment. In addition, as a result of the sale of Parcel 8 on April 15, 2016, the Partnership has only one remaining land parcel. Based on the knowledge of recent real estate market data gathered for the auction of Parcel 20 in 2016 and the recent offer currently being negotiated, as discussed in the subsequent event footnote, management determined the value of the parcel was impaired. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Partnership recorded an impairment of $1,235,000 and $2,680,000, respectively on Parcel 20, which reduced the remaining book value to the estimated fair value. Subsequent

costs incurred above the estimated fair value for the remaining parcel continue to be expensed and included in land operating expenses.

All other assets and liabilities are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

The Partnership follows Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the Partnership to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

Cost Allocation – We use the area 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.

Revenue Recognition—We recognize income from the sale of land parcels in accordance with the full accrual method of accounting. Rental revenue is recognized as earned.

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) the due diligence period per the sales agreement has expired and a closing date has been set; (vi) we are actively marketing the asset for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current value; and (vii) 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. As of March 31, 2016, we classified $1,614,552 for Parcel 8, as investment property held for sale. As of March 31, 2016, the carrying value of the investment property held for sale was reduced to its fair value based on the actual sale which occurred in April 2016 and resulted in a provision for loss on investment property held for sale of $320,937. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, there was no investment property classified as assets held for sale.

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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Between October 25, 1989 and October 24, 1991, we sold 50,476.17 limited partnership units to the public at $1,000 per unit resulting in $50,476,170 in gross offering proceeds, not including the general partner’s capital contribution of $500.

We used $41,314,301 of gross offering proceeds to purchase, on an all-cash basis, twenty-seven parcels of undeveloped land and two buildings. These investments include the payment of the purchase price, acquisition fees and acquisition costs of such properties. Three of the parcels were purchased during 1990, sixteen during 1991, four during 1992, and four during 1993. On September 16, 2002, we completed a tax-deferred exchange of Parcels 9 and 12 for 50 acres in Kendall County (Parcel 28). Through June 30, 2017, we had multiple sales, exchange transactions, and conveyances through which we disposed of the buildings and approximately 4,486 acres of the approximately 4,530 acres originally owned. As

 

-10-


of June 30, 2017, cumulative distributions have totaled $100,030,845 to the limited partners, which is equivalent to 198% of the original capital raised which was $50,476,170, and $13,713,195 to the general partner. Of the $100,030,845 distributed to the limited partners, $99,309,845 was net sales proceeds and $721,000 was from operations. As of June 30, 2017, we have used $47,504,983 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 municipality, changes in real estate taxes affecting our land, and the amount of revenue received from leasing. As of June 30, 2017, we own, in part, one parcel, consisting of approximately 44 acres. As of June 30, 2017, there were no farm leases in place. During April 2016, a farm lease was signed for the tillable portion of Parcel 20 which terminated on December 31, 2016. Our general partner has agreed to make a supplemental capital contribution to the Partnership, if and to the extent that real estate taxes and insurance payable with respect to our land during a given calendar year exceeds the revenue earned by us from leasing our land during such year. Since there currently are no farm leases in place, the general partner is anticipating making a supplemental capital contribution at the end of the calendar year for the real estate tax and insurance expense.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, there were no land sales. On April 15, 2016, we sold the remaining acreage of Parcel 8, resulting in net sales proceeds of $1,614,552.

At June 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,943,880. The remaining cash balance is available to be used for our costs and liabilities and other activities with respect to our one remaining land parcel. On June 17, 2016, the Partnership made a distribution to the limited partners of $1,600,000 less the $46,811 Illinois non-resident withholding repayment for a total distribution of $1,553,189.

On January 10, 2017, the Partnership entered into a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement with a third party purchaser to sell approximately 30 acres of Parcel 20 for a sales price of $2,800,000. The land is being sold “AS IS” but subject to usual and customary closing conditions. In addition, the contract is contingent on the purchaser obtaining necessary municipal approvals for a multi-family development. Provided the buyer performs pursuant to the terms of the contract and the municipal approvals are obtained, the sale is expected to occur during the latter part of 2017 and will result in the Partnership recognizing a gain on sale for financial statement purposes of approximately $600,000, before proration adjustments, selling costs and transfer taxes.

We continue to closely monitor the real estate market trends, especially within the area where our remaining parcel is located. We have seen modest improvements in the residential real estate market including the completion of stalled residential communities with national homebuilders. There have been farm parcel sales in surrounding communities from both speculators looking to hold land until the market fully rebounds as well as farmers looking to increase their farming businesses. 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 as we continue to market the remaining parcel for sale. Our remaining land is not encumbered by debt and is located in an area that we believe is in the path of future development. During the first quarter of 2016, management formally changed its intent from holding the remaining parcels for an indefinite period of time to attempting to sell the remaining parcels by the end of the year. Based on current sales activity, management anticipates that sales may occur prior to the end of 2017.

Transactions with Related Parties

The General Partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for salaries and expenses of employees of the General Partner and its affiliates relating to the administration of the Partnership. Such costs of $51,391 and $51,275 have been incurred and are included in professional services to affiliates and general and administrative expenses to affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There are $7,492 and $16,190 in unpaid professional services to affiliates and general and administrative expenses to affiliates as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

An affiliate of the General Partner performed land improvements, rezoning, annexation and other activities to prepare the Partnership’s investment properties for sale and was reimbursed (as set forth under terms of the Partnership Agreement) for salaries and direct costs. Such costs of $0 and $1,289 have been incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Such costs are included in investment properties, of which $0 and $0 was unpaid as of June 30, 2017 and as of December 31, 2016, respectively. Also, an affiliate of the General Partner supervises the maintenance of the

 

-11-


parcels. Such costs of $3,205 and $1,575 are included in land operating expenses to affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of which $610 and $1,200 was unpaid as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

As of June 30, 2017, the Partnership held all cash and cash equivalents with Inland Bank and Trust, an affiliate of the General Partner.

Results of Operations

As of June 30, 2017, we own one parcel of land consisting of approximately 44 acres. As of June 30, 2017, there no longer is a farm lease in place. The farm lease which was initiated during April 2016 terminated on December 31, 2016. The rental income from this lease covered the real estate taxes and insurance expense for 2016. Rental income was $0 and $26,849 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Professional services to affiliates and non-affiliates were $97,506 and $101,334 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Professional services to affiliates and non-affiliates include accounting and legal services. The decrease is due primarily to a decrease in legal fees and in-house accounting fees which is offset by an increase in tax preparation fees.

General and administrative expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates were $40,819 and $34,644 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. General and administrative expenses include data processing costs, postage, printing expenses, and investor services. The increase is due primarily to an increase in investor services costs.

Land operating expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates were $8,922 and $48,145 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These costs typically include real estate tax expense and insurance. The decrease is due to lower real estate taxes due to the sale of Parcel 8 and a portion of Parcel 20 during 2016, as well as the cost of a survey for Parcel 20 in 2016.

Interest income was $3,297 and $3,268 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Interest income is primarily a result of cash available to invest on a short term basis during the year as a result of sales proceeds received.

Other income was $2,150 and $1,800 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Other income is due primarily to transfer fee income as a result of the number of completed unit transfers. The increase in 2017 is due to more transfer fee income as a result of an increased number of completed unit transfers.

  (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).

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 Partnership’s 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.

The Partnership is currently negotiating a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of the remaining 14 acres of Parcel 20 not under contract. Provided acceptable terms are reached and a contract is executed, the sale would be expected to close prior to the end of the calendar year.

There are no other subsequent events to report that would have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.

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 have not reached the maximum threshold of limited partnership units that may be transferred/assigned directly between parties during 2017. Therefore, we may authorize additional sales of partnership units directly between parties during 2017. 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 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 our 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 Central Trade and Transfer directly at 877-704-6737. 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 regulates Illinois income tax withholding requirements for nonresident partners. We are also required to pay a withholding tax to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to a partner’s 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. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, there were no withholdings required.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to us is made known to the members of senior management and the Audit Committee.

Based on management’s evaluation as of June 30, 2017, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992), our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2017. This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
