Impact of Hurricane Ike.
Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (which may be referred to herein as the "Registrant," "we," "our" or "us"), is, as of the date of this report, in the preliminary stages of assessing the full impact of Hurricane Ike, as communication with and navigation to our properties located in the areas affected by the hurricane is in some cases limited.  However, within forty-eight hours of the hurricane, we had initial reports from all fifty of the real estate assets owned by us in these affected locations.  We have had no report of significant damages from this initial assessment, with the majority of property damages in the areas of non-structural roof, siding, signage and landscaping, as well as power outages.  While we do not believe that the reported damages will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or ability to pay distributions, we will continue to assess the impact of the hurricane, and damages to our portfolio may be greater than expected.
