AMERICA FIRST APARTMENT INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2007
(UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
America First Apartment Investors, Inc. (the Company) is a Maryland corporation which owns and
operates multifamily apartment projects and an office warehouse facility. The Company is also
authorized to invest in mortgage-backed securities and other residential-based real estate assets.
The Company is treated as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) for Federal income tax purposes.
As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to Federal income taxes on distributed income. To
maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational
requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the REITs ordinary taxable
income to shareholders.
On June 22, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement)
with Sentinel Omaha LLC (the Acquirer) and Sentinel White Plains LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Acquirer (the Acquisition Sub), under which the Company will merge with and into the
Acquisition Sub with the Acquisition Sub continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Acquirer (the Merger). As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding
share of the Companys common stock will be canceled and converted into the right to receive a cash
payment of $25.30 per share. Prior to the effective date of the Merger, the Company will be
permitted to continue to pay regular quarterly dividends in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice, at a rate not to exceed $0.27 per share per quarter and will be
allowed to pay a final pro rata dividend for the interim period between the record date for the
last quarterly dividend and the effective date of the Merger. The consummation of the Merger is
subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the Merger by the Companys
shareholders. The Merger is not subject to a financing condition. The Merger Agreement contains
termination rights for both the Company and the Acquirer. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement
under certain circumstances, the Company may be obligated to pay the Acquirer a termination fee of
$8.4 million. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances by the Company,
the Acquirer may be obligated to pay the Company $25 million in liquidated damages.
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with 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
condensed 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, 2006. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2007, 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 condensed 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. Acquisition of Real Estate Assets
In the first quarter of 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of two properties, The
Greenhouse, a 126-unit complex located in Omaha, Nebraska, and the Arbors of Dublin, a 288-unit
complex located in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. The aggregate purchase price for these properties
was $33.2 million, including $792,000 of in-place lease intangible assets which will be amortized
over the weighted average lives of the respective leases. These purchases were primarily funded
from the proceeds received from the fourth quarter 2005 divestiture of St. Andrews of Westwood.
There were no properties purchased during the second quarter of 2006, or the first or second
quarters of 2007.
On April 25, 2007, the Company signed a purchase agreement to acquire the Johnson Housing Apartment
Community, a 200-unit property located in Jacksonville, Florida. The agreement was subject to
customary closing conditions, including completion of due diligence by the Company. After
additional due diligence, the Company has decided not to pursue this acquisition.

3. Discontinued Operations
As of June 30, 2007, the Company has designated two properties, The Exchange at Palm Bay
(Exchange) and Waters Edge 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
signed purchase and sale agreements to sell Exchange and Waters Edge for $8.1 million and $7.2
million, respectively. Both transactions are expected to close during the third quarter of 2007.
On January 31, 2007, the Company completed the sale of Cumberland Trace Apartments for proceeds of
$10.7 million, net of $176,000 of closing costs. There was no gain or loss recognized on the sale.
In connection with the sale, the $8.9 million short-term note which was undertaken to finance the
acquisition of Cumberland Trace was repaid.
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company completed the divestitures of The Park at 58
Apartments and the Belvedere Apartments for proceeds of $27.5 million. In connection with these
sales, the Company recognized a gain of $17.2 million. During the second half of 2006, the Company
completed the divestiture of Delta Crossing recognizing a gain of approximately $2.0 million and
proceeds of $7.4 million.
The results of operations for the properties sold during 2007 and 2006, as well as the properties
which were held for sale during the respective periods, are as follows (in thousands):

4. Credit Facility Borrowings
During 2006, the Company entered into a Master Credit Facility and Reimbursement Agreement (the
Facility) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Fannie Mae. The Facility provides the Company the
ability to borrow at either fixed or variable interest rates and also enables the Company to
utilize Fannie Mae credit enhancement on tax exempt bond financings on its existing portfolio or
for future property acquisitions.
When established, the Facility provided the Company the ability, until September 28, 2007, to
borrow an additional $21.6 million at a fixed interest rate of 5.68%. On January 25, 2007, the
Company drew down $10.0 million of the available $21.6 million. The proceeds were utilized to
repay $7.6 million of the Companys repurchase agreement borrowings, and to repay the $2.4 million
of notes payable which were assumed in the 2004 merger with America First Real Estate Investment
Partners, L.P. The additional borrowing under the Facility has a term of 10 years from the date of
the transaction.
5. Impairment and Redemption of Securities
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company determined that it would not recover the previously
unrecognized losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with its agency
securities and, accordingly, recognized an impairment loss of $344,000. This loss was equal to the
difference between the Companys basis in the agency securities and their fair value on March 31,
2006. On April 24, 2006, the Company sold substantially all of its agency securities for $15.7
million, which resulted in the recognition of an additional loss of $53,000 in the second quarter
of 2006. The entire proceeds were utilized to repay repurchase agreement borrowings and accrued
interest thereon. The 2007 second quarter loss on redemption of securities is due to the
redemption of one of the Companys preferred stock investments.

6. Impairment of Intangible Assets
In connection with the November 2004 acquisition of certain property management assets from America
First Properties Management Company, LLC, the Company assumed property management agreements for
five apartment complexes owned by unrelated third parties. The estimated fair value of these
contracts was recorded as an intangible asset in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. During the first quarter of 2006, the
Company purchased The Greenhouse, which was one of the properties for which it previously provided
management services under these contracts. Additionally, the Company became aware that a
significant percentage of the other properties for which it provides third party management
services were expected to be sold during 2006. As a result, the Company determined that a portion
of the intangible asset was impaired and has recorded an expense of $199,000 in the condensed
consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June
30, 2006.

8. Transactions with Related Parties
Office Lease
Rental expense, paid to lease office space from The Burlington Capital Group, L.L.C., an affiliate
of certain directors of the Company, was $19,000 and $37,000 for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2007 and $44,000 and $86,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2006.
Mezzanine Loan
In September 2005, the Company loaned $7.4 million to America First Communities Offutt Developer,
LLC (the Developer), which is an affiliate of certain directors of the Company. The funds were
used by the Developer to partially finance the military housing privatization project at Offutt Air
Force Base in Bellevue, Nebraska. On February 27, 2006, the Developer prepaid the loan. The
Company received total proceeds of $7.4 million, including $7.1 million for repayment of the
outstanding principal balance, $237,000 of accrued interest and an early termination fee of
$89,000.

9. Equity Incentive Plan
The Companys Equity Incentive Plan permits the award of equity based compensation, dividend
equivalent rights (DERs), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and
performance units. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors and allows for the aggregate issuance of the aforementioned awards for up to 750,000
shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had only granted stock options and DERs
under the Plan. The exercise price of the options is determined based upon the closing stock price
on the date of grant.
Stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is summarized as follows:

As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding options have a remaining average contractual life of 8.6
years. The average contractual life for the exercisable options at June 30, 2007 is 7.9 years.
For purposes of determining compensation expense associated with stock options awarded in 2006 and
2007, the fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions for options
granted in:

The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The
assumed expected life of the stock options is based upon the simplified method allowed by
Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Volatility is based upon the
historical volatility of the Companys stock price. The dividend yield assumption is based upon
managements estimated yield during the expected life of the option, based upon historical
experience. This assumption is 0% in 2006, as the 2006 options were also granted with DERs. The
lack of DERs associated with the 2007 option grant accounts for the reduction in estimated fair
value.
Compensation expense, recognized on a straight-line basis, based upon the graded vesting schedule,
for stock based compensation was $36,000 and $75,000 for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2007 and $6,000 and $12,400 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006. Stock
based compensation expense is primarily included within General and administrative expenses on the
Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company expects to
recognize an additional $298,000 of compensation costs related to previously awarded stock option
grants which will vest during the next 2.1 years.
10. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company excluded all outstanding
stock options in the computation of diluted loss from continuing operations and net income (loss)
per share due to the antidilutive impact on loss from continuing operations.

11. Segment Reporting
The Companys reportable segments consist of its multifamily apartment properties and its
commercial property.
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-maker assesses operating
results based upon segment operating income. Net operating income, as defined by the Company,
differs from net income in that it excludes depreciation, amortization, interest expense, and
interest income from the determination of profit or loss.
The Companys commercial property is defined as a separate individual operating segment. The
Companys chief operating decision-maker assesses and measures segment operating results based on
net operating income at the commercial property level. Revenues were $187,000 and $384,000 for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and $194,000 and $388,000 for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Net operating income was $116,000 and $256,000
for the respective 2007 periods and $137,000 and $276,000 for the respective 2006 periods. This
property is currently held for sale and accordingly its revenues and net operating income are
included within the income from discontinued operations line on the Companys Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Operations. Upon the divestiture of the property, the Company will have
one reportable segment.
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 multifamily
reportable segment (in thousands):

12. Contingencies
The Companys interest rate swap and cap agreements create credit risk. Credit risk arises from
the potential failure of counterparties to perform in accordance with the terms of their contracts.
The Companys risk management policies define parameters of acceptable market risk and limit
exposure to credit risk. Credit exposure resulting from derivative financial instruments is
represented by their fair value amounts, increased by an estimate of potential adverse position
exposure arising from changes over time in interest rates, maturities and other relevant factors.
The Company mitigates this risk by entering into derivative transactions only with counterparties
with high credit ratings and does not anticipate nonperformance by any of its counterparties.

AMERICA FIRST APARTMENT INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2007
(UNAUDITED)
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 known to it will not have a material adverse effect on
the Companys consolidated financial statements.
13. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN No. 48) effective
January 1, 2007. FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions and requires
that the Company recognize in its financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that
position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the
position. The adoption of FIN No. 48 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the
consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (SFAS No.
159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election
dates, to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not
currently measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value
option has been elected would be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The
statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements in order to facilitate
comparisons between entities choosing different measurement attributes for similar types of assets
and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 does not affect existing accounting requirements for certain assets
and liabilities to be carried at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of a
reporting entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently
evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 159, and has not yet determined the impact on its
consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
General
The Companys primary business is the operation of multifamily apartment properties as long-term
investments. Accordingly, the Companys operating results will depend primarily on the net
operating income generated by its multifamily apartment properties. This, in turn, will depend on
the rental and occupancy rates of the properties 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. Several factors influence this, including local and national
economic conditions, the amount of new apartment construction, interest rates on single-family
mortgage loans and the cost 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 following table sets forth certain information regarding the Companys real estate properties
as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2007:

AMERICA FIRST APARTMENT INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Executive Summary
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 high level performance measures
management uses to gauge the overall performance of our property portfolio.
Physical occupancy and average quarterly same store rent per unit 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. The average
quarterly same store rent per unit is calculated as the quarterly same store rental revenue divided
by the number of units at same store properties (properties owned for the entirety of the 2006 and
2007 periods presented).
Net operating income margin is calculated as the excess of rental revenues over real estate
operating expenses as a percentage of rental revenues, and provides management an indication as to
the ability of the properties to manage expenses in the current occupancy environment.
Additional information regarding physical occupancy, same store rental revenues and same store net
operating income can be found on pages 18- 22 of this report.
The following table presents these measures for the three months ended:

In the first quarter of 2007, the Company experienced a reduction in demand in certain markets,
which decreased same store physical occupancy to 94% and the entire portfolios physical occupancy
to 92%. During the second quarter, demand at the Companys same store properties increased,
leading to same store physical occupancy of 95%, which is consistent with occupancy at December 31,
2006; however, it is 1% less than same store physical occupancy at June 30, 2006. Same store
physical occupancy was negatively impacted by lower occupancy at Tregaron Oaks, located in a suburb
of Omaha, Nebraska, the Ponds at Georgetown, located in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Coral Point,
located in Mesa, Arizona. In spite of the reduction in same store physical occupancy, same store
rental revenues increased due to increased rental rates and other rental revenues.
The Company has also experienced lower than anticipated occupancy at Morganton Place and Village at
Cliffdale, two properties acquired in September of 2006 that are in close proximity to Ft. Bragg,
one of the largest army bases in the United States. The Company expects that occupancy will
continue to be below expectations at these properties due to the January 2007 deployment of
additional personnel to Iraq and the extension of active soldiers tours of duty overseas. When
these properties were purchased, the Company negotiated a revenue assurance clause in the
purchase and sale agreement. This provision allows the Company to recoup up to $600,000 of the
purchase price of these properties if certain monthly revenue targets are not met during the first
year of ownership. Although the receipt of these amounts is not recognized as rental revenues
under generally accepted accounting principles, it does provide certainty as to cash collections at
these properties. During the first half of 2007, the Company received $350,000 pursuant to this
clause. As of June 30, 2007, $145,000 of the $600,000 remains available to the Company if rental
revenues continue to be below the targeted amounts.
Proposed merger
On June 22, 2007, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Sentinel Omaha LLC
and Sentinel White Plains LLC, affiliates of Sentinel Real Estate Corporation (Sentinel). Under
the terms of the merger agreement, each share of the Companys common stock will be cancelled and
converted into the right to receive $25.30 per share in cash. The transaction is expected to close
late in the third quarter of 2007, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the
approval of the merger by the Companys shareholders.

AMERICA FIRST APARTMENT INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Rental revenues. Rental revenues increased by $3.2 million from the second quarter of
2006. Jackson Park Place- Phase II, Morganton Place, Village at Cliffdale, Woodberry Apartments,
and the Cornerstone Apartments (collectively, the 2006 acquisitions) increased rental revenues by
$2.6 million. The Greenhouse and Arbors of Dublin, acquired during the first quarter of 2006
contributed increased rental revenues of $74,000. Same store rental revenues increased
approximately $480,000, or 4.1%, in spite of a 1% decrease in physical occupancy. Approximately
$260,000 of the $480,000 overall increase in same store revenues was due to increased rental rates.
The remaining increase was due to increased other rental revenues such as early termination fees,
damage fees and non-refundable deposits.
Other revenues. Other revenues include fees earned from the management of properties owned by
unrelated third parties. These revenues decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2007, as
the Company is currently managing fewer properties than in 2006.
Real estate operating expenses. Real estate operating expenses increased by $1.2 million from
the prior year second quarter. The 2006 acquisitions increased real estate operating expenses by
$1.1 million. Same store operating expenses increased by 2%, or approximately $100,000. This
increase is primarily attributable to increased bad debt expenses.
Depreciation expense. The 2006 acquisitions increased depreciation expense by $830,000 during
the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. Same store
depreciation expense increased by $140,000 due to capital expenditures made at these properties
during the past twelve months.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.4
million from the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is a result of costs associated
with the Companys evaluation of strategic alternatives. During the second quarter, the Company
incurred $1.6 million of such costs. These costs primarily relate to fees paid to the Companys
financial and legal advisors. While the Company did not incur costs associated with the evaluation
of strategic alternatives in 2006, it did incur professional services fees of approximately
$150,000 during the second quarter of 2006. These fees were paid to a financial advisory firm
engaged by the Board of Directors. These 2006 costs did not recur during 2007.
Property management expenses. Property management expenses consist of salaries and benefits
of the Companys regional property managers, training personnel, national maintenance directors and
senior vice-president of operations, their respective travel costs and other costs directly
attributable to these personnel. Such cost increased by $55,000 from the prior year primarily due
to the expansion of the Companys training program and the hiring of an additional maintenance
director.
In-place lease amortization. In-place lease intangibles arise as a result of the allocation
of a portion of the total acquisition cost of an acquired property to leases in existence as of the
date of acquisition. The estimated valuation of in-place leases is calculated by applying a
risk-adjusted discount rate to the projected cash flow realized at each property during the
estimated lease-up period it would take to lease these properties. This allocated cost is amortized
over the average remaining term of the leases. Amortization expense from in-place lease
intangibles increased as the 2006 acquisitions occurred subsequent to the second quarter of 2006.
Other Income and Expenses
Other income and expenses during the second quarter of 2007 and 2006 consisted of the following (in

Interest and dividend income decreased significantly from the three months ended June 30, 2006 due
to reduced restricted cash balances. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company had
significantly larger average balances of restricted cash. The restricted cash was generated from
the sale of Belvedere Apartments ($17.6 million) and the placement of $16.9 million to serve as
additional collateral for tax-exempt bonds issued to finance Coral Point Apartments and Covey at
Fox Valley. Throughout the remainder of 2006, this cash was utilized by the Company to partially
finance multifamily property acquisitions.

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. Borrowings used to finance acquisitions, and the $10.0 million borrowed in January 2007
under the Companys Master Credit Facility and Reimbursement Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
and Fannie Mae (the Facility), increased interest expense by approximately $1.1 million compared
to the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Changes to the market value of the Companys interest rate
swaps resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $89,000 during the second quarter of 2007
compared to the second quarter of 2006. During the second quarter of 2006, the market value of the
Companys interest rate swaps decreased, which increased interest expense by $33,000, whereas in
the current year, the market value of these swaps increased, which decreased interest expense by
$56,000. Interest expense associated with notes payable and repurchase agreement borrowings also
decreased compared to the second quarter of 2006. Since January 1, 2006, the Company has repaid
$31.4 million of repurchase agreements and $2.4 million of notes payable, which reduced second
quarter interest expense by approximately $200,000.

Rental revenues. Rental revenues increased by $6.8 million during the six months ended June
30, 2007 from the six months ended June 30, 2006. The Greenhouse, Arbors of Dublin and the 2006
acquisitions increased rental revenues by $5.8 million. Same store rental revenues increased
approximately $920,000, or 4%, in spite of a 1% decrease in same store physical occupancy.
Approximately $560,000 of the $920,000 overall increase in same store revenues is due to increased
rental rates. The remaining increase is due to increases in other rental revenues such as early
termination fees, damage fees and non-refundable deposits.
Other revenues. Other revenues include fees earned from the management of properties owned by
unrelated third parties. These revenues decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2007, as
the Company is currently managing fewer properties than in 2006.
Real estate operating expenses. Real estate operating expenses increased by $2.8 million from
the six months ended June 30, 2006. The Greenhouse, Arbors of Dublin and the 2006 acquisitions
increased real estate operating expenses by $2.4 million. Same store operating expenses increased
by 4%, or approximately $400,000. This increase is primarily attributable to increased taxes due
to a change in the tax law in Tennessee and increased bad debt expense.
Depreciation expense. The Greenhouse, Arbors of Dublin and the 2006 acquisitions increased
depreciation expense by $1.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2006. Same store depreciation expense increased by $250,000 due to capital
expenditures made at these properties during the past twelve months.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.7
million from the six months ended June 30, 2006. In the six months ended June 30, 2007, the
Company incurred $2.0 million of costs associated with its evaluation of strategic alternatives.
These costs primarily relate to fees paid to the Companys financial and legal advisors. While the
Company did not incur costs associated with the evaluation of strategic alternatives in 2006, it
did incur professional service and consulting fees of approximately $310,000 during the six months
ended June 30, 2006. These fees were paid to a consulting firm to assist the Board of Directors in the evaluation of the Companys compensation programs and to
a firm to provide financial advisory services. These 2006 costs did not recur during 2007. Other
general and administrative costs remained consistent with the prior period.

AMERICA FIRST APARTMENT INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Property management expenses. Property management expenses consist of salaries and benefits
of the Companys regional property managers, training personnel, national maintenance directors and
senior vice-president of operations, their respective travel costs and other costs directly
attributable to these personnel. Such cost increased by $135,000 from the prior year primarily due
to the expansion of the Companys training program and the hiring of an additional maintenance
director.
In-place lease amortization. In-place lease intangibles arise as a result of the allocation
of a portion of the total acquisition cost of an acquired property to leases in existence as of the
date of acquisition. The estimated valuation of in-place leases is calculated by applying a
risk-adjusted discount rate to the projected cash flow realized at each property during the
estimated lease-up period it would take to lease these properties. This allocated cost is amortized
over the average remaining term of the leases. Amortization expense from in-place lease
intangibles increased as the majority of the 2006 acquisitions occurred subsequent to the second
quarter of 2006.
Other Income and Expenses

Interest and dividend income decreased significantly from the six months ended June 30, 2006 due to
the repayment of the Offutt mezzanine loan in the first quarter of 2006 and reduced restricted cash
balances. In 2006, the Company earned $326,000 of interest income related to the Offutt mezzanine
loan, which was repaid in February of that year. Additionally, during the first half of 2006, the
Company had significantly larger average balances of restricted cash. The restricted cash was
generated from the 2005 sale of St. Andrews at Westwood ($29.4 million), the sale of Belvedere
Apartments ($17.6 million) and the placement of $16.9 million to serve as additional collateral for
tax-exempt bonds issued to finance Coral Point Apartments and Covey at Fox Valley. Throughout
2006, this cash was utilized by the Company to partially finance multifamily property acquisitions.
Interest income in 2006 was partially offset by the impairment and subsequent loss upon sale of the
agency securities. In March 2006, the Company determined that it no longer intended to hold its
agency securities for a period of time that would be sufficient to allow it to recover the
unrealized losses which were recorded as a component of other comprehensive income, and on April
24, 2006, the portfolio of agency securities was sold. The 2007 second quarter loss on redemption
of securities is due to the redemption of one of the Companys preferred stock investments.
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. Borrowings used to finance acquisitions, and the $10.0 million borrowed in January 2007
under the Facility increased interest expense by $2.1 million compared to the six months ended June
30, 2006. Changes to the market value of the Companys interest rate swaps to current market value
resulted in an increase in interest expense of $78,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to the same 2006 period. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the market value of
the Companys interest rate swaps increased, which reduced interest expense by $42,000, whereas in
the current year, the market value of these swaps decreased, which increased interest expense by
$36,000. These increases were offset by reduced interest expense associated with its notes payable
and repurchase agreement borrowings. Since January 1, 2006, the Company has repaid $31.4 million
of repurchase agreements and $2.4 million of notes payable, which has resulted in reduced interest
expense of approximately $520,000 from the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Discontinued Operations.
In January 2007, the Company completed the sale of Cumberland Trace. The Company has also signed
purchase and sale agreements to divest Waters Edge Apartments and The Exchange at Palm Bay.
Accordingly, the results of operations for the periods presented have been reclassified to
discontinued operations and disclosed as a single line item on the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
In addition to the aforementioned properties, the 2006 period also includes the Park at 58, Delta
Crossing and the Belvedere Apartments as discontinued operations, as these properties were sold
during 2006.
Rental revenues, operating expenses, and other expenses all decreased from 2006 to 2007 due to the
number of properties which comprised discontinued operations for each period. During 2007, there
were three properties included within discontinued operations, while in 2006 there were six
properties.

Funds from Operations decreased $818,000, or 27% for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Costs associated with the Companys evaluation of strategic alternatives reduced FFO by
approximately $1.6 million. FFO was positively impacted by $400,000 from the 2006 acquisitions and
by approximately $380,000 by improved same store net operating income.
FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by $1.1 million, or 17% from the six months
ended June 30, 2006. Costs associated with the evaluation of strategic alternatives reduced FFO by
$2.0 million. A decline in interest income reduced FFO by an additional $1.1 million. The 2006
acquisitions and improvements in same store net operating income positively impacted FFO by $1.3
million, and $520,000, respectively.
FFO does not include the $180,000 and $350,000 received by the Company pursuant to the revenue
assurance clause negotiated in the acquisitions of Morganton Place and Village at Cliffdale during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as these funds are not included in the computation of
net income.
The Company generally calculates FFO 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 or deducted from the Companys net income (loss). In 2006, the
Company added back the impairment loss recognized on the Companys agency securities and believes
that this treatment is appropriate since NAREIT allows for the exclusion of gains and losses
recognized in connection with the sale of a security in the determination of FFO. NAREIT does not
specifically discuss how an impairment of a security should be handled.
16
AMERICA FIRST APARTMENT INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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. 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.
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.

Net operating income increased at Arbor Hills due to a non-recurring 2006 insurance claim and an
increase in other rental revenue. Covey at Fox Valley benefited from increased rental rates and
lower real estate taxes, from a successful valuation reduction. Huntsview Apartments, Fox Hollow
Apartments, Oakwell Apartments and Monticello Apartments all benefited from increased occupancy and
rental rates. Additionally, Monticello Apartments was also able to benefit from reduced variable
expenses. Shelby Heights net operating income increased due to non-recurring 2006 exterior repair
projects. Net operating income decreased at The Ponds at Georgetown and Tregaron Oaks Apartments
due to reduced occupancy, and in Tregarons case, increased repair and maintenance expenses.

Amounts disclosed are prior to the impact of deferring one-time concessions over the life of
the respective leases and costs associated with the accrual of vacation benefits and earned but
unpaid salaries. Such amounts are not allocated to specific properties. |
Arbor Hills net operating income increased due to a non-recurring 2006 insurance claim and an
increase in other rental revenue. Covey at Fox Valleys net operating income improved due to
increased revenue due to improved rental rates and lower expenses due to reduced real estate taxes,
from a successful valuation reduction, and the non-recurrence of an insurance claim in 2006. Net
operating income at Littlestone of Village Green, Huntsview Apartments and Oakwell Farms Apartments
increased primarily due to increased physical occupancy and rental rates. Shelby Heights net
operating income increased due to non-recurring 2006 exterior repair projects and slightly
increased revenues. Net operating income decreased at The Hunt Apartments and Tregaron Oaks
Apartments due to decreased occupancy, and in Tregarons case increased repair and maintenance
expenses.
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. 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) pay the operating expenses of the
Companys administration; (iii) pay debt service on its bonds and mortgage notes payable; (iv)
acquire additional multifamily apartments and other investments and (v) pay dividends.
22
AMERICA FIRST APARTMENT INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
To finance the acquisition of additional real estate assets, the Company may raise funds through
the issuance of additional equity capital or though the use of long-term taxable or tax exempt
mortgage loans secured by the acquired properties. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company
entered into a Master Credit Facility and Reimbursement Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and
Fannie Mae (the Facility). The Facility provides the Company the ability to borrow at either
fixed or variable interest rates and also enables the Company to utilize Fannie Mae credit
enhancement on tax exempt bond financings on its existing portfolio or for future property
acquisitions. Upon closing of the Facility, the Company borrowed $37.6 million to finance the
acquisition of Morganton Place, Village at Cliffdale, and Woodberry Apartments. In addition to
these three properties, the Facility is also secured by first mortgages on The Greenhouse, Arbors
of Dublin, Brentwood Oaks, Covey at Fox Valley, and Cornerstone Apartments. As of June 30, 2007,
the Company had $73.1 million and $23.7 million in fixed and Fannie Mae credit enhanced variable
rate borrowings, respectively, under the Facility. The Facility also provides the Company the
ability, until September 28, 2007, to borrow an additional $11.6 million at a fixed interest rate
of 5.68%. The Facility may also be expanded with the consent of the lenders.
The multifamily apartment properties which the Company currently owns are financed under 21
financings, including the Facility, with an aggregate principal balance of $250.2 million as of
June 30, 2007. These financings consist of twelve tax-exempt bonds with an aggregate principal
balance outstanding of approximately $111.6 million and nine taxable mortgage notes payable with a
combined principal balance of approximately $138.6 million. After considering the impact of the
Companys interest rate swaps, approximately 82% of these mortgage obligations bear interest at a
fixed rate with a weighted average interest rate of 5.15% per annum for the six months ended June
30, 2007. The remaining 18% of these mortgage obligations bear interest at variable rates that had
a weighted average interest rate of 3.96% per annum, including the effect of interest rate swaps,
for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Maturity dates on these mortgage obligations range from
December 2007 to November 2044.
The amount of debt the Company can incur is not limited by its Articles of Incorporation or
otherwise. In general, however, the amount of borrowing used to finance the overall multifamily
apartment property portfolio is approximately 55% to 70% of the purchase price of these assets,
although higher or lower levels of borrowings may be used on any single property.
Additionally, until January 2007, the Company had borrowings in the form of notes payable. The $2.4
million of notes payable, which were assumed as part of the merger with America First Real Estate
Investment Partners, L.P. were redeemed for a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal
balance of the notes together with accrued interest. The notes were redeemed early, as the
indenture required that 80% of the net proceeds from the sale of Delta Crossing be utilized to
redeem the notes.
The Company also has borrowings in the form of repurchase agreements. As of June 30, 2007, the
Company has one repurchase agreement with a balance of $4.8 million. The Companys use of
repurchase agreements has decreased as these financings were primarily utilized to finance
investments in agency securities and mezzanine-level financings. As of June 30, 2007, the Company
has no such investments.
In order to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the Companys variable rate debt, the
Company has entered into multiple derivative financial instruments. The following interest rate
swap and cap contracts owned by the Company do not qualify for hedge accounting and thus are
accounted for as free standing financial instruments which are marked to market each period through
the statement of operations as a component of interest expense.

Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities
Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased slightly
compared to the same period a year earlier, as the decline in cash generated from operations was
offset by increased accounts payable and accrued expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, investing activities provided $6.7 million of cash. This
cash was generated principally from the January 2007 sale of Cumberland Trace for $10.7 million.
The Company has utilized approximately $3.8 million of cash on capital improvements, including
$720,000 on the development of the second phase of the Reserve at Wescott Plantation. When
completed, phase two will have 96 units and is expected to cost $8.4 million. This project will be financed by a variable rate construction loan with a loan to value percentage not to exceed
75%. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had not drawn upon the loan.

AMERICA FIRST APARTMENT INVESTORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the
consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (SFAS No.
159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election
dates, to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not
currently measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value
option has been elected would be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The
statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements in order to facilitate
comparisons between entities choosing different measurement attributes for similar types of assets
and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 does not affect existing accounting requirements for certain assets
and liabilities to be carried at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of a
reporting entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently
evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 159, and has not yet determined the impact on its
consolidated financial statements.

risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its long-term variable rate 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 also enters into derivative financial
instruments, such as interest rate swaps, in order to manage and mitigate its variable 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, 2006 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, 2006.
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 15(d)-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.
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which any of
its properties is subject.
Item 1a. Risk Factors.
On June 22, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement)
with Sentinel Omaha LLC (the Acquirer) and Sentinel White Plains LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Acquirer (the Acquisition Sub), under which the Company will merge with and into the
Acquisition Sub with the Acquisition Sub continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Acquirer (the Merger).
Set forth below are risk factors relating to the Merger and supplements the risk factors disclosed
in Item 1A of Part 1 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006.
The Merger Agreement generally requires the Company to pay its own fees and expenses in connection
with the Merger and the Company anticipates that such fees and expenses will be approximately $11.9
million if the Merger is completed. The Company cannot assure you that the costs incurred by us in
connection with the Merger will not be higher than expected. In addition, the Company will be
required to reimburse the Acquirer for its reasonable expenses and fees not to exceed $1 million if
(A) the Merger Agreement is terminated by either party due to the failure of the Companys
stockholders to approve the Merger and if prior to such termination an acquisition proposal by a
third party has been publicly disclosed or announced and not subsequently withdrawn, or (B) the
Merger Agreement is terminated by the Acquirer due to the Companys breach of the Merger Agreement
other than a breach of its covenants relating to acquisition proposals from other parties. In
addition, the Company and the Acquirer may terminate the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances
which may obligate the Company to pay the Acquirer a termination fee of $8.43 million.
In addition, failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact the price of the Companys
common stock and future business and operations. The Merger is subject to customary conditions to
closing, including the receipt of required approval from the Companys stockholders. If any
condition to the Merger is not satisfied or, if permissible, waived, the Merger will not be
completed. In addition, the Company and the Acquirer may terminate the Merger Agreement in certain
circumstances. If the Company and the Acquirer do not complete the Merger, the market price of the
Company common stock may fluctuate to the extent that the current market price of the Company
common stock reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be completed.
The Company has also diverted significant management resources in an effort to complete the Merger
and is subject to restrictions contained in the Merger Agreement on the conduct of its business.
If the Merger is not completed for any reason, the Company will have incurred costs including the
diversion of management resources, for which the Company will have received little or no benefit.
