  Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
  On June 22, 2007, America First Apartment Investors, Inc. (the "Registrant"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Sentinel Omaha LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Acquirer"), and Sentinel White Plains LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Acquirer (the "Acquisition Sub"), under which the Registrant 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"), all in accordance with and subject to the Merger Agreement.  As a result of the Merger, the Acquirer will own 100% of the outstanding common stock of the Registrant.
  The Merger Agreement provides that at the effective time of the Merger each issued and outstanding share of the Registrant's common stock (other than treasury shares or shares already held by the Acquirer or the Acquisition Sub) 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 Registrant will be permitted to continue to pay regular quarterly dividends 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 Registrant's shareholders.  The Merger is not subject to a financing condition.
  The Merger Agreement contains termination rights for both the Registrant and the Acquirer.  Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, the Registrant 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 Registrant, the Acquirer may be obligated to pay the Registrant $25 million in liquidated damages.
  The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual Merger Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
  Important Information
  The proxy statement that the Registrant plans to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mail to shareholders will contain information about the Registrant, the proposed Merger and related matters.  SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT CAREFULLY WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE, AS IT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE MAKING A DECISION ABOUT THE MERGER.
