Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

                                                Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement made and entered into as of November 15, 2005, as amended on August 3, 2007 (the “Advisory Agreement”) by and between Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. (“Inland American”) and Adviser, Adviser has purchased on behalf of Inland American a total of 2,102,600 Shares for an aggregate price of $21,175,023.61 in approximately 59 open-market transactions from February 20, 2007 through August 1, 2007.  The working capital of Inland American and brokerage account margin loans were the sources of consideration for the purchases.  Inland American may continue to utilize margin credit from time to time for the purchase of Shares, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the brokerage firm’s credit policies.  The cost of borrowing with respect to margin accounts fluctuates with the broker loan rate and the amount of the debit balance.  The positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in those accounts.

                                                To the knowledge of Inland American, Adviser, IREIC, and TIGI, this Item 3 is inapplicable to the executive officers and directors listed on Appendices A through C, respectively, to the extent those officers and directors are not Reporting Persons because none of those executive officers and directors has purchased or intends to purchase any Shares of the Company.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

                                                Adviser beneficially owns the Shares by virtue of having discretionary authority to vote and dispose of the Shares pursuant to the Advisory Agreement with Inland American.  Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of IREIC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TIGI, of which Mr. Goodwin is the controlling shareholder.  The Company’s Shares were acquired on behalf of Inland American for the purpose of making an investment in the Company.  Inland American and Adviser have also considered, on a preliminary basis, various courses of action with respect to the Company, including:  (i) causing Inland American or Adviser, or a subsidiary or affiliate thereof, to acquire additional Shares in a cash tender offer or exchange offer; (ii) proposing a merger or sale or similar transaction between Inland American, or an affiliate of Inland American, and the Company; and (iii) seeking representation on the Company’s board of directors.  None of the Reporting Persons has reached any conclusion as to any of the foregoing alternatives.  Pending a conclusion or a determination to dispose of all or a portion of the Shares which it owns, the Reporting Persons will hold all of these Shares as an investment.

                                                Until Inland American or a Reporting Person makes a decision concerning the alternatives described above, and depending on market conditions and other factors, that Reporting Person may continue (or begin, as the case may be) to purchase Shares of the Company in brokerage transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, or in private transactions if appropriate opportunities to do so are available on such terms and at such times as the purchaser considers desirable.

                                                Each of the Reporting Persons intends to continuously review its investment in the Company and may decide to pursue one of the alternatives discussed in the first paragraph of this Item 4.  Any one or more of the Reporting Persons and Inland American may seek control of the Company or may merely seek to increase its or his beneficial ownership of Shares of the Company without obtaining control.  Any one or more of the Reporting Persons and Inland American with dispositive power may determine to

dispose of all or a portion of the Shares that it now owns or may hereafter acquire.  In reaching any conclusion as to the foregoing, the Reporting Persons will consider various factors, such as the Company’s business and prospects, other developments concerning the Company (including, but not limited to, the attitude of the board of directors and management of the Company), other business opportunities available to each of the Reporting Persons, developments in the business, general economic conditions, and finances of the Reporting Persons and stock market conditions.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

                                                (a)                                  See response corresponding to row 11 of the cover page of each Reporting Person for the aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, which is incorporated herein by reference.  See response corresponding to row 13 of the cover page of each Reporting Person for the percentage of Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, which is incorporated herein by reference.  The Adviser makes decisions as to dispositions of the shares it holds for the accounts of Inland American by means of a committee composed of three of the directors of Adviser.  Because no one officer or director of the Reporting Persons has the ability to direct the disposition of the Shares, with the exception of Mr. Goodwin, none of the other officers and directors of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns such shares.  Therefore, with the exception of Mr. Goodwin, none of the executive officers or directors listed on Appendices A through C beneficially owns any Shares of the Company.

                                                (b)                                 See responses corresponding to rows seven through ten of the cover page of each Reporting Person for the number of Shares as to which each Reporting Person has sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, and shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition, which responses are incorporated herein by reference.  The Adviser shares the power to vote or direct the vote and the power of disposition with Inland American pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement.  None of the executive officers or directors listed on Appendices A through C, with the exception of Mr. Goodwin, beneficially owns any Shares of the Company.

                                                (c)                                  During the past 60 days, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any Share transactions.

                                                To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the executive officers and directors of Adviser, IREIC or TIGI has effected any transactions in Shares of the Company in the last 60 days or otherwise.  Mr. Goodwin has not effected any transactions in Shares of the Company on his own behalf in the last 60 days or otherwise.

                                                (d)                                 None.

                                                (e)                                  Not Applicable.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

                                                The Adviser purchased the Shares for the account of Inland American pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement.  The Advisory Agreement provides that Adviser has full discretionary authority with respect to the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the account which Inland American maintains with Adviser, subject to certain investment guidelines that Inland American may provide from time to time.  These guidelines take effect generally fifteen days after notice to Adviser.  The Advisory Agreement also provides that the Adviser has the power as Inland American’s proxy and attorney-in-fact to vote, tender or direct the voting or tendering of all of the assets of the accounts of Inland American.  Either party to the Advisory Agreement may terminate that Advisory Agreement upon thirty days’ written

notice. The Advisory Agreement is attached as Exhibit 7.1 to the Schedule 13D filed by Inland American with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2007 as Exhibit 7.1.

                                                Because the services provided by investment advisers to clients generally do not create an agreement between or among that adviser and its clients to acquire, hold, vote or dispose of Shares, Inland American and Adviser in accordance with instruction (2) to the cover page of Schedule 13D do not affirm that they are acting as a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); however, in accordance with the perceived statutory purpose of Section 13(d) to inform investors as to accumulations of an issuer’s securities and because of the relationships among the Reporting Persons and Inland American described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have filed this Schedule 13D jointly pursuant the rules promulgated under Section 13(d), including Rule 13d-1(k). Except as otherwise described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships, legal or otherwise, among the persons named in Item 2 and between these persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss or the giving or withholding of proxies. Adviser and Inland American are separate legal entities. IREIC sponsored Inland American.

                                                Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of IREIC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TIGI, of which Mr. Goodwin is a controlling shareholder. These entities have some common officers and directors; however, the board of directors of Inland American is comprised of a majority of independent directors. An investment committee comprised of three members of the board of directors of Adviser oversees the overall investment strategy and decisions made with respect to the discretionary accounts that it manages within the respective investment guidelines provided to it by its clients, including Inland American. Mr. Goodwin, Mr. Robert D. Parks and Ms. Roberta S. Matlin are the members of this investment committee. Mr. Goodwin manages the day-to-day operations of Adviser.
