accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been
condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2004. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2005, and the results of operations for all periods
presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.
2. Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
As of June 30, 2005, the Company designated two communities, Park Trace Apartments and The Retreat
Apartments, as held for sale pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company has entered into sale and
purchase agreements to sell the real estate assets of the Park Trace Apartments and The Retreat
Apartments for $14.5 million and $8.7 million, respectively. Each transaction is expected to close
during the third quarter. As such, the results of operations from these communities have been
classified as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented.
On December 15, 2004, the Company completed the sale of The Glades Apartments, for a sales price of
$20 million; as such the results of operations from June 4, 2004 (date of acquisition) through June
30, 2004 are presented as discontinued operations.

AMERICA FIRST APARTMENT INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005
(UNAUDITED)
(2) Administrative Fee Agency Securities- This fee is equal to 0.25% per annum of
the outstanding principal balance of all agency securities held by the Company plus an incentive
equal to 20% of the amount by which the total net interest income realized by the Company from its
portfolio of agency securities during each calendar month exceeds the average dollar amount of
stockholders equity invested in agency securities during the month times the composite dividend
yield reported by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts for equity REITs which
invest in residential apartment properties (5.22% for the month ended June 30, 2005).
(3)Property Management Fees- Until November 8, 2004, an affiliate of the Advisor,
America First Properties Management Company L.L.C. (AFP), provided property management services
for the multifamily properties owned by the Company. The fees for services provided represented the
lower of: (i) costs incurred in managing the properties, or (ii) customary fees for such services
determined by reference to national statistics. On November 8, 2004, America First PM Group, Inc.,
(PM Group) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired certain property management assets,
rights to use certain proprietary systems, certain property management agreements, certain
employment agreements and other intangible assets from AFP and its parent, America First Companies,
L.L.C. (America First Companies). As a result of this transaction, the management of all of the
Companys properties was internalized and therefore no further management fees will be incurred.
(4) Reimbursement of Out-of-Pocket Expenses- The Company reimburses the Advisor and
its affiliate for certain out-of-pocket costs and expenses that it incurs in connection with the
carrying out of the Companys business activities.
Included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are amounts
due to the Advisor and its affiliate for administrative fees and reimbursed costs and expenses of
approximately $154,000 and $162,000 as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
5. Stock Option Plan
The Company adopted a Stock Option Plan (the Plan) on April 1, 2002 to permit awards of equity
based compensation to those providing services to the Company. The Plan is administered by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Plan allows for the granting of options to
purchase an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The Plan authorizes
the Board of Directors and its Compensation Committee to grant Incentive Stock Options (ISOs), as
defined under section 422 of the IRS Code, non-qualified stock options (NQSOs), and dividend
equivalent rights (DERs) to eligible persons. The exercise price for options granted under the
Plan shall not be less than the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of the
grant. Options granted under the Plan expire 10 years from the respective grant dates of the
options.
On February 4, 2003, NQSOs to acquire a total of 40,000 shares of common stock were granted to the
Companys four non-employee Directors, at an exercise price of $8.73 per share. The options vest
25% on the grant date and 25% on each of the next three anniversaries of the grant date. On the
same date, a total of 40,000 DERs were granted to the Companys four non-employee directors, which
vest 25% on the grant date and 25% on each of the next three anniversaries of the grant date.

As of June 30, 2005, all outstanding options have an exercise price of $8.73 per share and a
remaining contractual life of 7.6 years. The Company accounts for its stock options using the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under SFAS
No. 123, the Company records compensation expense based upon the estimated fair value of its
granted options, over their vesting period. The per share estimated fair value of the options
granted on their grant date during the quarter ended

AMERICA FIRST APARTMENT INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005
(UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2003 was $2.19. The estimated fair
value of the Companys options was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 3.24%, an expected remaining contractual life
of 5.0 years and an expected volatility rate of 20%. Compensation expense for stock options was
$4,100 and $8,200 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, and $6,900 and $12,400
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004. Payments on the
DERs for options not exercised are charged to earnings when declared and were $5,600 and $11,200
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, respectively, and $5,000 and $10,000 for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004.
6. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, stock options were excluded from the
computation of diluted net loss per share due to their antidilutive effect. There were 30,000
potentially dilutive securities as of June 30, 2005.
7. Segment Reporting
The Companys reportable segments consist of: (i) its multifamily apartment properties; (ii) its
commercial property; (iii) its investment in agency securities, and (iv) other, which includes
Company overhead and consolidating entries.
The Company defines each of its multifamily apartment properties as an individual operating
segment. It has determined that all multifamily apartment properties have similar economic
characteristics and meet the other criteria which permit the multifamily apartment properties to be
aggregated into one reportable segment, that being the acquiring, holding, operating and selling of
multifamily apartment properties. The Companys chief operating decision-makers assess and measure
segment operating results based on net income.
The Companys commercial property is defined as a separate individual operating segment. The
Companys chief operating decision-makers assess and measure segment operating results based on net
income at the commercial property level.
The Company assesses the performance of its investment in agency securities based on its net income
earned on these securities. Net income is calculated as agency securities interest income, less
premium amortization, interest expense incurred on the financing used to acquire these securities
and administrative and incentive fees. All of the Companys agency securities are combined into one
reportable segment for this purpose.
The Company does not derive any of its consolidated revenues from foreign countries and does not
have any major tenants that individually account for 10% or more of the Companys consolidated
revenues.
The following table details certain key financial information for the Companys reportable segments
for the three and six months ending June, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

8. Commitments and Contingencies
On December 3, 2003, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery
against AFREZ, along with its general partner and America First Companies L.L.C. (America First).
The plaintiffs seek to have the lawsuit certified as a class action on behalf of all Units holders.
The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the defendants acted in violation of their fiduciary
duties to the Unit holders in connection with the merger of AFREZ with and into the Company. The
merger of AFREZ with and into the Company was completed on June 3, 2004 and, as a result, the
Company assumed all liabilities of AFREZ, including any liability that may be imposed as a result
of this lawsuit. To date, the plaintiffs have not amended their complaint to formally name the
Company as a defendant or to modify the relief they are seeking. The Company intends to defend this
lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation.
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of
business. These matters are frequently covered by insurance. If it has been determined that a loss
is probable to occur, the estimated amount of the loss is expensed in the financial statements.
While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the
final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial
statements.
9. Subsequent Event
On August 3, 2005 the Company completed its acquisition of Tregaron Oaks, LLC, a 300 unit apartment
complex located in Bellevue, Nebraska for $19 million. The acquisition was partially financed with
a 10-year, $12.4 million mortgage note that bears interest at 5.1%. The note requires monthly
interest payments of $52,779. The remainder of the purchase price was paid with cash on hand.

Economic occupancy is presented for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Economic occupancy is defined as the net rental income divided by the maximum
amount of rental income which could be derived from each property.
The statistic is reflective of vacancy, rental concessions, delinquent rents, bad debt and non-revenue units such as model units and employee units. |
Executive Summary
For the past several years, the Companys financial results have been negatively impacted by soft
market conditions attributable to weak economic conditions, overbuilding of multifamily housing
properties and record low interest rates available to purchasers of single family housing. During
the first six months of 2005, market conditions have begun to improve for multifamily housing in
many of the markets in which our properties are located. Demand for apartments in some markets has
improved due to job growth, which has lead to the creation of new households. Even though home
mortgage rates continue to remain relatively low, the creation of new households has strengthened
demand for rental housing, especially among newly formed households. While demand has strengthened
in many markets, other factors have reduced the supply of available apartments. In particular, the
trend toward condominium conversion in Florida has taken a number of rental units out of the
market. In addition, the supply of new apartments coming into the market has slowed somewhat.
As property performance drives the overall financial results for the Company, it is important to
examine a few key property performance measures. The following are four high level performance
measures management uses to gauge the overall performance of our property portfolio.
10
AMERICA FIRST APARTMENT INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Physical occupancy, economic occupancy, average annual rent per unit, and real estate operating
contribution are performance measures that provide management an indication as to the quality of
rental revenues. Physical occupancy is calculated simply as the percentage of units occupied out
of the total units owned. Economic occupancy is calculated as the net rental revenue divided by
the gross potential rental revenue which could be derived from the property portfolio. Economic
occupancy is reflective of vacancy, rental concessions, delinquent rents, bad debts and non-revenue
units such as model units. The average annual rent per unit is calculated as the total annualized
net rental revenue divided by the total number of units owned. Real estate operating contribution
is calculated as the excess of rental revenues over real estate operating expenses as a percentage
of rental revenues. It provides management an indication as to the ability of the properties to
manage operating expenses in the current occupancy environment.
The following table presents these measures as of the dates indicated.

As reflected in the above figures, the strengthening demand for apartments, along with a tightening
of the supply of available rental units, has allowed us to maintain physical occupancy at our
properties while at the same time improving economic occupancy rates and average annual rent per
unit through higher rental rates and a reduced need to offer rental concessions.

Rental revenues. Rental revenues increased by approximately $4.4 million primarily due to the
properties acquired in the merger with AFREZ and the purchase of Arbor Hills. The AFREZ properties
were acquired in June of 2004, and therefore were only included in the results of operations for
one month in 2004. The inclusion of two additional months in 2005 resulted in increased revenues
of $3.2 million. Arbor Hills, acquired in December of 2004, increased revenues by $920,000.
Increases in economic
11
AMERICA FIRST APARTMENT INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
occupancy resulted in increased revenues of approximately $200,000 at
properties held by the Company prior to the merger with AFREZ.
Other revenues. Other revenues in 2005 include interest and dividend income and revenues
earned from property management fees from unaffiliated parties. In 2004, other revenues included a
gain of $143,000 on the sale of corporate equity securities, as well as interest and dividend
income.
Real estate operating expenses. Operating expenses increased by $1.5 million from the three
months ended June 30, 2004. Operating expenses associated with the properties acquired in the
merger with AFREZ and the purchase of Arbor Hills increased operating expenses by $1.9 million.
This increase is partially offset by the elimination of management fees, which amounted to $308,000
during the period ending June 30, 2005. Management fees were eliminated with the internalization
of the property management operations in November 2004 and include fees related to the former AFREZ
properties for the month ending June 30, 2004.
Depreciation expense. The increase is attributable to the acquisition of properties in the
merger with AFREZ and the purchase of Arbor Hills. Depreciation expense incurred by the properties
held by the Company prior to the merger with AFREZ was consistent with the depreciation expense
incurred during the same period in 2004.
Interest expense. Interest expense represents interest paid and other expenses associated
with the taxable and tax-exempt mortgage debt incurred to finance the Companys investments in
multifamily apartment properties. The increase in interest expense for the period is attributable
to the debt assumed in the merger with AFREZ and the acquisition of Arbor Hills.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by
$688,000 from the three months ended June 30, 2004. Salaries and benefit related costs accounted
for $245,000 of the increase, of which approximately $200,000 was due to the internalization of the
property management operations. Administrative fees paid to the Advisor increased by $180,000 as a
result of the merger with AFREZ. The remainder of the increase is attributable to increases in
consulting fees, directors and officers insurance and professional fees.
Amortization expense. Amortization expense includes the amortization of in-place lease
intangibles and debt financing costs. There was one month of such amortization related to the
AFREZ merger in 2004. As of June 30, 2005, there remains $406,000 of unamortized in-place lease
intangibles. This amount will be fully amortized by December 31, 2005.

Rental revenues. Rental revenues increased by approximately $9.6 million due to the
properties acquired in the merger with AFREZ and the purchase of Arbor Hills. Increases in
economic occupancy resulted in increased rental revenues of approximately $400,000 at properties
held by the Company prior to the merger with AFREZ.
12
AMERICA FIRST APARTMENT INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Other revenues. Other revenues in 2005 include interest and dividend income, and revenues
earned from property management fees from unaffiliated parties. In 2004, other revenues included a
gain of $143,000 on the sale of corporate equity securities, as well as interest and dividend
income.
Real estate operating expenses. Operating expenses increased by $4.6 million due to the
properties acquired in the merger with AFREZ and the purchase of Arbor Hills. This increase is
offset by the elimination of management fees, which amounted to $545,000 during the period ending
June 30, 2005. Management fees were eliminated with the internalization of the property management
operations in November 2004 and include fees related to the former AFREZ properties for the month
ending June 30, 2004.
Depreciation expense. The increase is attributable to the acquisition of properties in the
merger with AFREZ and the purchase of Arbor Hills in December of 2004. Depreciation expense
incurred by the properties held by the Company prior to the merger with AFREZ was consistent with
the depreciation expense incurred during the same period in 2004.
Interest expense. Interest expense represents interest paid and other expenses associated
with the taxable and tax-exempt mortgage debt incurred to finance the Companys investments in
multifamily apartment properties. The increase in interest expense for the period is attributable
to the debt assumed in the merger with AFREZ and the acquisition of Arbor Hills.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses have increased by
$1.8 million from the six months ended June 30, 2004. Salaries and benefit related costs accounted
for $950,000 of the increase. This increase is primarily due to increased costs due to the
internalization of the property management operations and severance payments of $400,000 and
$345,000 respectively. General and administrative expenses are also impacted by increased
Administrative fees paid to the Advisor of $350,000. Such fees increased due to the merger with
AFREZ. The remainder of the increase is primarily attributable to increases in consulting fees,
directors and officers insurance, and professional fees.
Amortization expense. Amortization expense includes the amortization of in-place lease
intangibles and debt financing costs. During 2005, there were five months of amortization of
in-place lease intangibles related to the AFREZ merger and six months of amortization related to
the Arbor Hills acquisition. There was one month of such amortization in 2004.
Discontinued Operations. As of June 30, 2005, Park Trace Apartments and The Retreat Apartments
have been designated as held for sale. Accordingly, the results of operations for the periods
presented have been reclassified to discontinued operations and disclosed as a single line item on
the Statements of Operations. The Glades Apartments, acquired in the AFREZ merger and divested in
December 2004, is also classified as a discontinued operation.

Funds from Operations increased $977,000, or 56%, and $2.3 million, or 77%, for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. This is primarily due to the inclusion of the
results of operations of the properties acquired in the merger with AFREZ and the purchase of Arbor
Hills. These increases are partially offset by the increased general and administrative expenses
and the inclusion of the $143,000 gain on sale of corporate equity securities during 2004.
FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition of FFO that is recommended by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). To calculate FFO under the NAREIT
definition, depreciation and amortization expenses related to the Companys real estate, gains or
losses realized from the disposition of depreciable real estate assets, and certain extraordinary
items are added back to the Companys net income. The Company believes that FFO is an important
non-GAAP measurement because FFO excludes the depreciation expense on real estate assets and real
estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than
other depreciable assets such as machinery or equipment. Additionally, other real estate
companies, analysts and investors utilize FFO in analyzing the results of real estate companies.
While the Company uses the NAREIT definition of FFO, the Companys FFO may not be comparable to
other REITs or real estate companies with similar assets. This is due in part to the differences in
capitalization policies used by different companies and the significant effect these capitalization
policies have on FFO. Real estate costs incurred in connection with real estate operations which
are accounted for as capital improvements are added to the carrying value of the property and
depreciated over time whereas real estate costs that are expensed are accounted for as a current
period expense. This affects FFO because costs that are accounted for as expenses reduce FFO.
Conversely, real estate costs that are capitalized and depreciated are added back to net income to
calculate FFO. Prior to 2005, the Companys capitalization policy was to treat most recurring
capital improvements, such as appliances, vinyl flooring and carpet as expenses, and this may cause
the Companys historically reported FFO to be lower than peer companies that capitalize recurring
improvements of these types.
Although the Company considers FFO to be a useful measure of its operating performance, FFO should
not be considered as an alternative to net income which is calculated in accordance with GAAP.

(1) Properties were acquired by the Company on June 3, 2004. The above amounts include
operating revenues for the two and five months prior to the Companys ownership.
(2) Arbor Hills was acquired by the Company in December 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys primary source of cash is net rental revenues generated by its real estate
investments. Net rental revenues from a multifamily apartment property depend on the rental and
occupancy rates of the property and on the level of operating expenses. Occupancy rates and rents
are directly affected by the supply of, and demand for, apartments in the market areas in which a
property is located. This, in turn, is affected by several factors, such as local or national
economic conditions, the amount of new apartment construction and the affordability of home
ownership. In addition, factors such as government regulation (such as zoning laws), inflation,
real estate and other taxes, labor problems and natural disasters can affect the economic
operations of a property.
The Company uses cash primarily to (i) pay the operating expenses of its multifamily apartment
properties, including the cost of capital improvements; (ii) to pay the operating expenses of the
Companys administration, including the fees paid to its Advisor; (iii)
16
AMERICA FIRST APARTMENT INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
the payment of debt service
on its bonds and mortgages payable; (iv) the acquisition of additional multifamily apartment
properties, agency securities and other investments; and (v) the payment of dividends. Currently,
the Companys cash provided by operations is insufficient to maintain the necessary level of
capital improvements and to fully fund the current level of dividends. While the Company has the
ability to fund the current level of dividends through other means, including proceeds from the
sale of properties, continued weakness in operating cash flows could negatively impact dividend
rates.
The Companys principal business strategy is to acquire and operate multifamily apartment
properties as long-term investments. In order to achieve its acquisition strategy, the Company has
the authority to finance the acquisition of additional real estate in a variety of manners,
including raising additional equity capital. In June 2004, the Company filed a registration
statement for $200 million of capital stock which may be sold from time to time in order to raise
additional equity capital in order to support the Companys business strategy. To date, no
securities have been sold under this registration statement.
In addition to the funds that the Company may raise through the issuance of additional equity
capital, it may also be able to borrow money to finance the acquisition of additional real estate
assets. Borrowing to acquire additional multifamily apartment properties is generally in the form
of long-term taxable or tax exempt mortgage loans secured by the acquired properties. The amount of
debt the Company can incur is not limited by its charter or otherwise. In general, however, the
amount of borrowing used to finance the overall multifamily apartment property portfolio is
approximately 55% to 65% of the purchase price of these assets, although higher or lower levels of
borrowings may be used on any single property.
The multifamily apartment properties which the Company currently owns are financed under twenty
mortgage financings with an aggregate principal balance outstanding of approximately $166.5 million
as of June 30, 2005. These mortgages consist of thirteen tax-exempt bonds with an aggregate
principal balance outstanding of approximately $111.2 million and seven taxable mortgage notes
payable with a combined principal balance of approximately $55.3 million. Eleven of these mortgage
obligations, totaling approximately $72.9 million, require periodic payments of principal and
interest while the remaining nine mortgage obligations require only periodic payments of interest.
Approximately 69% of these mortgage obligations bear interest at a fixed rate with a weighted
average interest rate of 5.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The remaining 31% of these
mortgage obligations bear interest at variable rates, via interest rate swap agreements, that had a
weighted average interest rate of 2.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Maturity dates on
these mortgage obligations range from September 2005 to July 2031. Each of these mortgage loans has
been made on a non-recourse basis, which means the lenders source of payment in the event of
default is limited to foreclosure of the underlying property securing the mortgage loan.

The $8.1 million variable to fixed swap was entered into on top of and to mitigate the variable
rate risk of the fixed to variable swap maturing January 22, 2009. It effectively fixes the
interest rate on $8.1 million of bonds payable at 2.82% through February 3, 2009.
The Company also has borrowings in the form of notes payable and borrowings under repurchase
agreements. The notes, which were assumed as part of the merger with AFREZ, bear interest at a
variable rate with a weighted average interest rate for the three month period of 4.2%. These Notes
payable are due January 15, 2008. The borrowings under repurchase agreements bear interest at fixed
rates with a weighted average interest rate of 2.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and
mature within one year.
Acquisitions of agency securities are principally financed with repurchase agreements. Repurchase
agreements take the form of a sale of a security (in this case, an agency security owned by the
Company) to a counterparty at an agreed upon price in return for the counterpartys simultaneous
agreement to resell the same securities back to the Company at a future date at a higher price.
Although structured as a sale and repurchase obligation, a repurchase agreement operates as a
borrowing under which the Company pledges agency securities that it already owns as collateral to
secure a short-term loan with a counterparty. The borrowings are then used to acquire additional
agency securities, which themselves may be used as collateral for additional borrowings under
repurchase agreements. The difference between the sale and repurchase price is the cost, or
interest expense, of borrowing under the repurchase agreements. The repurchase agreements may
require the Company to pledge additional assets to the lender in the event the market value of
existing pledged collateral declines below a specified percentage. The pledged collateral may
fluctuate in value due to, among other things, principal repayments, market changes in interest
rates and credit quality. The Company retains beneficial ownership of the pledged collateral,
including the right to distributions, while the counterparty maintains custody of the collateral
securities. At the maturity of a repurchase agreement, the Company is required to repay the loan
and concurrently receive back its pledged collateral from the lender or, may renew the repurchase
agreement at the then prevailing financing rate. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had borrowed
approximately $18.9 million under short-term repurchase agreements to finance its investment in
agency securities. These repurchase agreements have a weighted average interest rate of 2.3% and a
weighted average maturity of less than 90 days. Total borrowings to acquire agency securities are
currently limited by the Company to not more than eight times the amount of equity capital invested
or set aside for investment by the Company in agency securities, although the Company can increase
this limitation with the approval of the Board of Directors.

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by $2.2
million compared to the same period a year earlier. The increase is due to cash generated by the
properties acquired subsequent to June 30, 2004 and improved economic occupancy. Cash provided by
investing activities decreased $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the
same period in 2004. The decrease is due to cash acquired in the AFREZ transaction and a reduction
in principal receipts from agency securities of $2.3 million. Net cash used in financing
activities increased by $1.1 million due to additional dividend payments of $2.7
million, as a result of increased shares outstanding. For the first six months of 2005, the
Company has declared dividends of $5.3 million. These dividends exceed the Companys earnings by
$6.7 million, thereby increasing the Companys accumulated deficit to $19.4 million.
Contractual Obligations
The Company had the following contractual obligations as of June 30, 2005 (in thousands):

The Company is also contractually obligated to pay interest on its long-term debt obligations. The
weighted average interest rate of the long-term debt obligations outstanding as of June 30, 2005
was approximately 5.8% for fixed-rate debt and 2.8% for variable-rate debt.
The Company will either refinance or repay the mortgage note due in September of 2005. Repurchase
agreements will either be renewed with new agreements having similar terms or be repaid.
On August 3, 2005 the Company completed its acquisition of Tregaron Oaks, LLC, a 300 unit apartment
complex located in Bellevue, Nebraska for $19 million. The acquisition was partially financed with
a 10-year, $12.4 million mortgage note that bears interest at 5.1%. The note requires monthly
interest payments of $52,779. The remainder of the purchase price was paid with cash on hand.
The Company has also announced its intention to acquire The Reserve at Wescott Plantation, a 192
unit complex in Summerville, South Carolina for $16.7 million, including the assumption of the
existing $12.3 million first mortgage on the property. In connection with this transaction, the
Company is also acquiring 9.2 acres of land adjacent to the property for an additional $576,000.
These transactions are expected to close during the third quarter of 2005.
In connection with the above acquisitions, the Company is obligated to pay the Advisor a property
acquisition fee of 1.25% of the purchase price. This fee compensates the Advisor for its
assistance in identifying, evaluating and acquiring real estate assets.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Companys primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Companys exposure to market
risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its long-term borrowings. Interest rate
risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental, monetary and tax policies,
domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond
the Companys control.
The Companys interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate
changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve its
objective, the Company borrows primarily at fixed rates and enters into derivative financial
instruments, such as interest rate swaps, in order to manage and mitigate its interest rate risk.
The Company has not entered into derivative instrument transactions for speculative purposes.
Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for detailed
disclosure about quantitative and qualitative disclosures concerning market risk. Quantitative and
qualitative disclosures about market risk have not materially changed since December 31, 2004.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Companys Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of
the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys current disclosure controls and
procedures are effective, providing them with material information relating to the Company as
required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act on a
timely basis.
(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Companys
internal control over financial reporting during the Companys most recent fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control
over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On December 3, 2003, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery
against America First Real Estate Investment Partners, L.P. ( AFREZ), along with its general
partner and America First Companies, L.L.C., by Harvey Matcovsky and Gloria Rein, in their
capacities as holders of assigned limited partner interests (Units) of AFREZ. The plaintiffs seek
to have the lawsuit certified as a class action on behalf of all Units holders. The lawsuit
alleges, among other things, that the defendants acted in violation of their fiduciary duties to
the Unit holders in connection with the merger of AFREZ with and into the Company. The plaintiffs
were seeking to enjoin the proposed merger and also seek unspecified damages and costs. On February
5, 2004, the defendants filed an Answer denying all material allegations and asserting several
affirmative defenses. The merger of AFREZ with and into the Company was completed on June 3, 2004
and, as a result, the Company assumed all liabilities of AFREZ, including any liability that may be
imposed as a result of this lawsuit. To date, the plaintiffs have not amended their complaint to
formally name the Company as a defendant or to modify the relief they are seeking. The Company
intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation.
There are no other material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which
any of its properties is subject.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
The Company held its annual shareholders meeting on May 25, 2005 for the purposes of electing
three Class III directors.
