ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (the “Company”) is a fully integrated externally managed real estate company. We operate high quality multifamily and commercial properties throughout the southern United States. We also invest in mortgage notes receivable and in land that is either held for appreciation and or development. As used herein, the terms “TCI”, “the Company”, “We”, “Our”, or “Us” refer to Transcontinentalthe Company.
Corporate Structure
Substantially all of our assets are held by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern Properties Capital Ltd. (“SPC”), which was formed to allow us to raise funds by issuing non-convertible bonds that are listed and traded on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE").
On November 19, 2018, we formed the Victory Abode Apartments, LLC (“VAA”) joint venture with the Macquarie Group (“Macquarie”). In connection with the formation of VAA, we sold a 50% ownership interest in 51 multifamily properties, (collectively referred to herein as the “VAA Portfolio”). VAA assumed all liabilities of the VAA Portfolio. We account for our investment in VAA under the equity method. On November 17, 2021, we entered into a Major Decision with Macquarie to sell all the properties held by VAA (See "Recent Activity - Other Developments").
We own approximately 81.1% of Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc.

ARL has business objectives similar to ours. Our officers and directors owe fiduciary duties to both ARL and us under applicable law. In determining whether a particular investment opportunity will be allocated to ARL or us, management considers the respective investment objectives of each company and the appropriateness of a particular investment in light of each company’s existing real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolio. To the extent that any particular investment opportunity is
listed and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ARL”. On July 17, 2009, the Company acquired an additional 2,518,934 shares of common stock of Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc.

As of December 31, 2018, TCI owned 81.25% of the outstanding IOR common shares. Shares of IOR common stock are listed and traded on the NYSE American under the symbol “IOR”.
At the time of the acquisition, the historical accounting value of IOR’s assets was $112 million and liabilities were $43 million.

•Five commercial properties, consisting of four office buildings and one retail property, comprising in aggregate of approximately 1,063,515 square feet;
•Nine multifamily properties owned directly by us, comprising in 1,492 units, excluding apartments being developed;
•Approximately 1,886 acres of developed and undeveloped land; and
•Fifty-two multifamily properties totaling 10,281 units owned by VAA.
Recent Activity
The following is a description of our significant real estate and financing transactions during the year ended December 31, 2021:
Acquisitions and Dispositions
•On March 30, 2021, we sold a 50% ownership interest in Overlook at Allensville Phase II, a 144 unit multifamily property in Sevierville, Tennessee to Macquarie for $2.6 million, resulting in gain on sale of $1.4 million. Concurrent with the sale, we each contributed our 50% ownership interests in Overlook at Allensville Phase II into VAA.
•On August 26, 2021, we sold 600 Las Colinas, a 512,173 square foot office building in Irving, Texas for $74.8 million, resulting in gain on sale of $27.3 million. We used the proceeds to pay down the mortgage note payable on the property (See "Financing Activities") and for general corporate purposes.
•During the year ended December 31, 2021, we sold a total of 134.7 acres of land from our holdings in Windmill Farms for $20.2 million, in aggregate, resulting in gains on sale of $10.3 million. In addition, we sold 14.09 acres of land from our holdings in Mercer Crossing for $9.0 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $6.4 million.
•On January 14, 2022, we sold Toulon, a 240 unit multifamily property property in Gautier, Mississippi, for $26.8 million. The proceeds were used to pay off the mortgage note payable on the property and for general corporate purposes.
Financing Activities
•On March 2, 2021, we extended our $1.2 million loan on Athens to August 28, 2022.
•On March 4, 2021, we extended the maturity of our $8.4 million loan on Windmill Farms to February 28, 2023 at a reduced interest rate of 5%.
•On August 25, 2021, we replaced the existing loan on Villas at Bon Secour with a new $20.0 million loan that bears interest at 3.08% and matures on September 1, 2031.
•On August 26, 2021, we paid off the $35.9 million loan on 600 Las Colinas in connection with the sale of the underlying property (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions").
•On March 3, 2022, we extended our $39.0 million loan on Stanford Center to February 26, 2023.
Development Activities
During 2021, we spent $15.7 million on our ongoing development of Windmill Farms. Our expenditure included $2.8 million on the development of land lots for sale to single family home builders and $13.0 million on reimbursable infrastructure investments.
We have investment in nine notes receivable that were issued to fund the development of multifamily properties (See Item 2 - Properties). As of December 31, 2021, one of the projects was in construction, two were in lease-up and six were stabilized. In 2021, we advanced $8.6 million on these development notes. Each of these notes are convertible, at our option, into a 100% ownership interest in the underlying property.
During 2021, we advanced $2.3 million on the development of Tower Bay Lofts, which is owned by a third party. We have an agreement that allows us to acquire this project, at our option, for the price of our investment.
Other Developments:
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a loss of $29.6 million on the remeasurements of certain assets ("Earn Out Obligation") that were sold in connection with our investment in VAA.
On November 17, 2021, we entered into a Major Decision with Macquarie to engage a broker and initiate a sale of all the properties held by VAA, which are listed in Item 2. Properties as Joint Venture properties. In connection with the sale, VAA will distribute seven of its existing properties to us (referred to herein as the "Holdback Properties") and we in turn, will contribute one of our properties ("Contributed Property") into the portfolio offered for sale to third-parties. The sales price for the Holdback Properties and Contributed Property will be the estimated value of these properties as stated in the agreement, multiplied by the ratio of the actual sales price of the portion of the VAA Portfolio sold to a third party to the estimated value of the those properties that were provided in the agreement.
Each of the properties in the VAA Portfolio is appraised on an annual basis as part of our filing requirement with the TASE. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the VAA Portfolio, based on these appraisals was approximately $1.4 billion. The appraised value reflects an aggregate of individual property appraised value and does not reflect a premium that is sometimes offered in a portfolio sale. These values reflect a compression of cap rates for multifamily properties during the last year. However, there can be no assurances that these values will be realized. The Major Decision agreement will expire on August 1, 2022, if the VAA Portfolio has not been sold.
Our ownership interest in VAA is held by SPC, and is therefore subject to the bond covenants of the three series of bonds that have been issued by SPC. These provisions include restrictions on the distribution of cash from SPC (See Note 12 - Bonds Payable in our consolidated financial statements).
Business Plan and Investment Policy
Our business strategy is to maximize long-term value for our stockholders by the acquisition, development and ownership of income-producing multifamily properties in the secondary markets of the Southern United States. We generally hold our investments in real estate for the long term. We seek to maximize the current income and the value of our real estate by maintaining high occupancy levels while charging competitive rents and controlling costs. In the past we have opportunistically acquired commercial properties for income and appreciation. In addition, we also opportunistically acquire land for future development. From time to time and when we believe it appropriate to do so, we sell land and income-producing properties. We also invest in mortgage receivables.
Our income producing real estate is managed by external management companies. Our multifamily properties and one of our commercial properties are managed by various third-party companies and four of our commercial properties are managed by Regis Realty Prime, LLC dba Regis Property Management, LLC (“Regis”Regis"), managescollectively the "management companies".

Southern is These investments have included in the consolidated financial statements of TCI.
On January 1, 2012, the Company entered into a development agreement withnotes receivables from Unified Housing Foundation, Inc. “UHF” a non-profit corporation that provides management services for the development of residential apartment projects in the future. This development agreement was terminated December 31, 2013. The Company has also invested in surplus cash notes receivables from UHF and has sold several residential apartment properties to UHF in prior years.("UHF") Due to thisour ongoing relationship and theour significant investment in the performance of the collateral secured under the notes receivable, we consider UHF has been determined to be a related party.
On November 19, 2018, we executed an agreement between the Macquarie Group (“Macquarie”) and SPC and TCI to create a joint venture, Victory Abode Apartments, LLC (“VAA”) to address existing and future demand for quality multifamily residential housing through acquisition and development of sustainable Class A multifamily housing in focused secondary and tertiary markets. In connection with the formation of the joint venture, SPC and TCI contributed a portfolio of 49 income producing apartment complexes, and 3 development projects in various stages of construction and received cash consideration of $236.8 million. At the time of the transfer of the properties, the joint venture assumed all liabilities of those properties, including mortgage debt to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”).
VAA is equally owned and controlled by Abode JVP, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPC and Summerset Intermediate Holdings 2 LLC (“Summerset”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Macquarie. Pursuant to the Agreement, Abode JVP, LLC and Summerset each own voting and profit participation rights of 50% and 49%, respectively (“Class A Members”). The remaining 2% of the profit participation interest is held by Daniel J. Moos TCI’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“Class B Member”) who serves also as the Manager of the joint venture.
Our primary business is the acquisition, development and ownership of income-producing residential and commercial real estate properties. In addition, we opportunistically acquire land for future development in in-fill or high-growth suburban markets. From time to time and when we believe it appropriate to do so, we will also sell land and income-producing properties. We generate revenues by leasing apartment units to residents, and leasing office, industrial and retail space to various for-profit businesses as well as certain local, state and federal agencies. We also generate revenues from gains on sales of income-producing properties and land.
At December 31, 2018, our income-producing properties consisted of:
| ● | Seven commercial properties consisting of five office buildings and two retail properties comprising in aggregate of approximately 1.7 million square feet; |

We finance our acquisitions primarily through operating cash flow, proceeds from the sale of land and income-producing properties, and debt, which is financing primarily in the form of property-specific, first-lien mortgage loans from commercial banks and institutional lenders. We financeMost of the mortgage notes payable on our development projects principallymultifamily properties are insured with short-term, variable-rate construction loans thatDepartment of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD").

When we sell properties, we may carry a portion of the sales price, generally in the form of a short-term interest bearing seller-financed note receivable, secured by the property being sold. We may also from time to time enter into partnerships or joint ventures with various investors to acquire land or income-producing properties, or to sell interests in some of our properties.
We joinhave increased our portfolio of multifamily properties through ground up development.

A summary of some of the significant transactions for the year ended December 31, 2018, are discussed below:
Purchases
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company purchased through one of its subsidiaries, seven residential apartment communities. A multi-family 80 unit community located in Baton Rouge, LA for a total purchase price of $12 million, paid through a seller’s financing note of $1.9 million, issuance of note payable of $8.6 million, and exercising an option to purchase of $1.5 million paid in the previous year. A multi-family 99 unit residential apartment community located in Mansfield, TX for a total purchase price of $14.8 million, paid through a seller’s financing note of $2.3 million, and an issuance of a note payable of $11.0 million. A multi-family 200 unit residential apartment community located in Gulf Shores, AL for a total purchase price of $18.1 million, paid through an issuance of a note payable of $11.5 million. A multi-family 144 unit residential apartment community located in Beaumont, TX for a total purchase price of $12.3 million. A multi-family 240 unit residential apartment community located in Houma, LA for a total purchase price of $20.1 million. A multi-family 208 unit residential apartment community located in Texarkana, TX for a total purchase price of $14.7 million. A multi-family 160 unit residential apartment community located in Tupelo, MS for a total purchase price of $11.1 million.
Sales
For the year ended December 31, 2018, TCI sold 62 acres of land to an independent third party for a total sales price of $3.0 million and recorded a gain of $1.3 million from the land sale. In the second quarter, a golf course comprising approximately 96.09 acres sold for an aggregate sales price of $2.3 million, out of which, $0.6 million was received in cash and $1.7 million in note receivables. During the first quarter, the Company sold six income-producing properties to a related party for an aggregate purchase price of $8.5 million, out of which, $2.1 million was received in cash and $6.4 million in note receivables. During the fourth quarter, the Company sold one income-producing property to a related party for a purchase price of $2.2 million. No gain or loss was recorded from theenable sale of income-producing properties.
In addition, on November 19, 2018, TCI through one of its subsidiaries formed VAA a joint venture with Macquarie. In connection with the formation of the joint venture, TCI contributed fifty-two properties and received a cash consideration of $236.8 million from Macquarie for a voting and profit participation right of 50% and 49%, respectively, 2% of the profits interest is held by Daniel J. Moos, who serves as the President and Chief Executive officer of the Company (“Class B Member”) and Manager of the joint venture. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $154.1 million from the sale of the contributed propertiesdeveloped lots to the joint venture.
Mercer Crossing
In addition to the real estate sales noted above the Company recorded sales from a development project known as Mercer Crossing.
At November 2015, our real estate land holdings at Mercer Crossing consisted of land developable into residential homes and commercial projects, located in Farmers Branch, Texas. In November 2015, the Company entered into a sales contract with an unrelated party. The contract was for all of the developable land owned by the Company. In addition, IOR and ARL also sold land in this transaction. Total consideration for the sale was $75 million. The agreement among the parties to this transaction provides for TCI to hold the subordinated note from the buyer in the amount of $50 million. At the closing, due to the inadequate down payment from the buyer and the level of seller financing involved, the transaction was accounted for under the deposit method. Under the deposit method, no revenue is recognized and the asset sold remains on the books until the criteria for full revenue recognition are met.
During the third quarter of 2018, due to significant cumulative sales of real estate to unrelated third parties and cash received by TCI, the criteria for recording full accrual accounting had been met. Through the period ended August 21, 2018, approximately $28.1 million of the assets previously held by the Company were sold, resulting in a gain of $7.5 million.
On August 22, 2018 the Company reacquired all the unsold portions of the real estate from the November 2015 transaction for the amount that remained from the original sales price.
During the period August 23, 2018 through December 31, 2018 additional Mercer Crossing real estate was sold for $11.7 million resulting in a net gain on sale of real estate of $5.6 million.
third-party home builders. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has approximately 86 acres of land, at various locations that were sold to related parties in multiple transactions. These transactions are treated as “subject to sales contract” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Due to the related party nature of the transactions TCI has deferred the recording of the sales in accordance with ASC 360-20.
We continue to invest in the development of apartment projects. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we have invested $14.8 million related to the construction or predevelopment of various apartment complexes and capitalized $0.1 million of interest costs.
Business Plan and Investment Policy
Our business objective is to maximize long-term value for our stockholders by investing in residential and commercial real estate through the acquisition, development and ownership of apartments, commercial properties and land. We intend to achieve this objective through acquiring and developing properties in multiple markets and operating as an industry-leading landlord. We believe this objective will provide the benefits of enhanced investment opportunities, economies of scale and risk diversification, both in terms of geographic market and real estate product type. We believe our objective will also result in continuing access to favorably priced debt and equity capital. In pursuing our business objective, we seek to achieve a combination of internal and external growth while maintaining a strong balance sheet and employing a strategy of financial flexibility. We maximize the value of our apartments and commercial properties by maintaining high occupancy levels while charging competitive rental rates, controlling costs and focusing on tenant retention. We also pursue attractive development opportunities either directly or in partnership with other investors.
For our portfolio of commercial properties, we generate increased operating cash flow through annual contractual increases in rental rates under existing leases. We also seek to identify best practices within our industry and across our business units in order to enhance cost savings and gain operating efficiencies. We employ capital improvement and preventive maintenance programs specifically designed to reduce operating costs and increase the long-term value of our real estate investments.
We seek to acquire properties consistent with our business objectives and strategies. We execute our acquisition strategy by purchasing properties which management believes will create stockholder value over the long-term. We will also sell properties when management believes value has been maximized or when a property is no longer considered an investment to be held long-term.
We are continuously in various stages of discussions and negotiations with respect to development, acquisition, and disposition of projects. The consummation of any current or future development, acquisition, or disposition, if any, and the pace at which any may be completed cannot be assured or predicted.
Substantially all of our properties are owned by subsidiary companies, many of which are single-asset entities. This ownership structure permits greater access to financing for individual properties and permits flexibility in negotiating a sale of either the asset or the equity interests in the entity owning the asset. From time-to-time, our subsidiaries have invested in joint ventures with other investors, creating the possibility of risks that do not exist with properties solely owned by a TCI subsidiary. In those instances where other investors are involved, those other investors may have business, economic, or other objectives that are inconsistent with our objectives, which may in turn, require us to make investment decisions different from those if we were the sole owner.
Real estate generally cannot be sold quickly. We may not be able to promptly dispose of properties in response to economic or other conditions. To offset this challenge, selective dispositions have been a part of our strategy to maintain an efficient investment portfolio and to provide additional sources of capital. We finance acquisitions through mortgages, internally generated funds, and, to a lesser extent, property sales. Those sources provide the bulk of funds for future acquisitions. We may purchase properties by assuming existing loans secured by the acquired property. When properties are acquired in such a manner, we customarily seek to refinance the asset in order to properly leverage the asset in a manner consistent with our investment objectives.
Our businesses are not generally seasonal with regard to real estate investments. Our investment strategy seeks both current income and capital appreciation. Our plan of operation is to continue, to the extent our liquidity permits, to make equity investments in income-producing real estate such as apartments and commercial properties. We may also invest in the debt or equity securities of real estate-related entities. We intend to pursue higher risk, higher reward investments, such as improved and unimproved land where we can obtain reasonably-priced financing for substantially all of a property’s purchase price. We intend to continue the development of apartment properties in selected markets in Texas and in other locations where we believe adequate levels of demand exist. We intend to pursue sales opportunities for properties in stabilized real estate markets where we believe our properties’ value has been maximized. We also intend to be an opportunistic seller of properties in markets where demand exceeds current supply. Although we no longer actively seek to fund or purchase mortgage loans, we may, in selected instances, originate mortgage loans or we may provide purchase money financing in conjunction with a property sale.
Our Board of Directors has broad authority under our governing documents to make all types of investments, and we may devote available resources to particular investments or types of investments without restriction on the amount or percentage of assets that may be allocated to a single investment or to any particular type of investment, and without limit on the percentage of securities of any one issuer that may be acquired. Investment objectives and policies may be changed at any time by the Board without stockholder approval.
The specific composition from time-to-time of our real estate portfolio owned by TCI directly and through our subsidiaries depends largely on the judgment of management to changing investment opportunities and the level of risk associated with specific investments or types of investments. We intend to maintain a real estate portfolio that is diversified by both location and type of property.
Competition
The real estate business is highly competitive and TCI competeswe compete with numerous companies engaged in real estate activities (including certain entities described in Part III, Item 13. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”), some of which have greater financial resources than TCI.us. We believe that success against such competition is dependent upon the geographic location of a property, the performance of property-level managers in areas such as leasing and marketing, collection of rents and control of operating expenses, the amount of new construction in the area and the maintenance and appearance of the property. Additional competitive factors include ease of access to a property, the adequacy of related facilities such as parking and other amenities, and sensitivity to market conditions in determining rent levels. With respect to apartments,multifamily properties, competition is also based upon the design and mix of the units and the ability to provide a community atmosphere for the residents. We believe that beyond general economic circumstances and trends, the degree to which properties are renovated or new properties are developed in the competing submarket are also competitive factors. Refer to Part I, Item 1A.Item1A. “Risk Factors”.
To the extent that
TCI seekswe seek to sell any properties, the sales prices for the properties may be affected by competition from other real estate owners and financial institutions also attempting to sell properties in areas where
TCI’sour properties are located, as well as aggressive buyers attempting to dominate or penetrate a particular market.
As described above
Government Regulations
Our properties are subject to various covenants, laws, ordinances and in Part III, Item 13. “Certain Relationshipsregulations, including regulations relating to common areas, fire and Related Transactions,safety requirements, various environmental laws, HUD, the Americans with Disabilities Act and Director Independence”, the officers and directors of TCI serve as officers and directors of ARL and IOR. Both ARL and IOR haverent control laws.
Segments
We operate two business
objectives similar to those of TCI. TCI’s officers and directors owe fiduciary duties to both IOR and ARL as well as to TCI under applicable law. In determining whether a particular investment opportunity will be allocated to TCI, IOR, or ARL, management considers the respective investment objectives of each Company and the appropriateness of a particular investment in light of each Company’s existing real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolio. To the extent that any particular investment opportunity is appropriate to more than one of the entities, the investment opportunity may be allocated to the entity which has had funds available for investment for the longest period of time, or, if appropriate, the investment may be shared among all three or two of the entities. In addition, as described in Part III, Item 13. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”, TCI competes with related parties of Pillar having similar investment objectives related tosegments: the acquisition, development, disposition, leasingownership and financingmanagement of real estatemultifamily properties, and real estate-related investments. In resolving any potential conflictsthe acquisition, development, ownership and management of interestcommercial properties; which may arise,are primarily office properties.
The services for our commercial segment include primarily rental of offfice space and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. The services for our multifamily segment include primarily rental of apartments and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Report for more information regarding our segments.
Human Capital
We have no employees. Employees of Pillar

exercise its best judgment as to what is fair and reasonable under the circumstancesus in accordance with
applicable law.We have historically engaged in and will continue to engage in certain business transactions with related parties, including but not limited to asset acquisitions and dispositions. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s length basis due to the absence of free market forces that naturally exist in business dealings between two or more unrelated entities. Related party transactions may not always be favorable to our business and may include terms conditions and agreements that are not necessarily beneficial to or in the best interests of the Company.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves various risks. All investors should carefully consider the following risk factors,
applicable to TCI and its subsidiaries in conjunction with the other information in this report before trading our securities.
Risk Factors Related
FACTORS AFFECTING OUR ASSETS
The current COVID – 19 pandemic or the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases and the timing and effectiveness of vaccine use or other effective medicines could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our operating results depend, in large part, on revenues derived from leasing space in our residential multifamily communities to
residential tenants and the ability of tenants to generate sufficient income to pay their rents in a timely manner. The market and economic challenges created by the COVID – 19 pandemic and measures implemented to prevent its spread have and may continue to adversely affect our
Business returns and profitability. As a result, our ability to make distributions may be compromised, and we could experience volatility with respect to the market value of our properties and common stock. In some cases, we may be legally required or otherwise agree to restructure tenants’ rent obligations and may not be able to do so in terms favorable to us as those currently in place. Further, various city, county and state laws restricting rent increases in times of emergency may come into effect in connection with the pandemic, and numerous state, local, federal and industry-initiated efforts have and may continue to affect our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent, including, among others, limitations or prohibitions on evicting tenants unwilling or unable to pay rent and prohibitions on the ability to collect unpaid rent during certain time frames. Some residents’ views about their obligations to pay rent, even when financially capable of meeting the rent obligation, have shifted away from viewing rent as a primary and necessary financial obligation, and this shift may continue or worsen as a result of the eviction moratoriums and the various laws affecting our abilities to collect rent. Additionally, market fluctuations as a result of the pandemic may affect our ability to obtain necessary funds for our operations from current lenders or new borrowings. We may be unable to obtain financing for the acquisition of investments or refinancing for existing assets on satisfactory terms, or at all. Market fluctuations and construction delays, along with increased prices, experienced by our vendors may also negatively impact their ability to provide services to us.
The global impact of the COVID – 19 pandemic continues to evolve rapidly, and the extent of its effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, the timing of distribution and effectiveness of vaccines and the willingness and ability of the public to get vaccinated in a timely manner, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and related containment measures, among others. Also, to the extent any of these risks and uncertainties adversely impact us in the ways described above or otherwise, they may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks set forth in this Report.
Adverse events concerning our existing tenants or negative market conditions affecting our existing tenants could have an adverse impact on our ability to attract new tenants, release space, collect rent or renew leases, and thus could adversely affect cash flow from operations and inhibit growth.
Cash flow from operations depends in part on the ability to lease space to tenants on economically favorable terms. We could be adversely affected by various facts and events over which
the Company haswe have limited or no control, such as:
| ● | lack of demand for space in areas where the properties are located; |
| ● | inability to retain existing tenants and attract new tenants; |
| ● | oversupply of or reduced demand for space and changes in market rental rates; |
| ● | defaults by tenants or failure to pay rent on a timely basis; |
| ● | the need to periodically renovate and repair marketable space; |
| ● | physical damage to properties; |
| ● | economic or physical decline of the areas where properties are located; and |
| ● | potential risk of functional obsolescence of properties over time. |
•lack of demand for space in areas where the properties are located;
•inability to retain existing tenants and attract new tenants;
•oversupply of or reduced demand for space and changes in market rental rates;
•defaults by tenants or failure to pay rent on a timely basis;
•the need to periodically renovate and repair marketable space;
•physical damage to properties;
•economic or physical decline of the areas where properties are located; and
•potential risk of functional obsolescence of properties over time.
At any time, any tenant may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its financial condition. As a result, a tenant may delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, decline to extend a lease upon its expiration, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy. Any tenant bankruptcy or insolvency, leasing delay or failure to make rental payments when due could result in the termination of the tenant’s lease and material losses to
the Company. us.
If tenants do not renew their leases as they expire, we may not be able to rent the space. Furthermore, leases that are renewed, and some new leases for space that is re-let, may have terms that are less economically favorable than expiring lease terms, or may require us to incur significant costs, such as renovations, tenant improvements or lease transaction costs. Any of these events could adversely affect cash flow from operations and our ability to make distributions to shareholders and service indebtedness. A significant portion of the costs of owning property, such as real estate taxes, insurance, and debt service payments, are not necessarily reduced when circumstances cause a decrease in rental income from the properties.
We may not be able to compete successfully with other entities that operate in our industry.
We experience a great deal of competition in attracting tenants for the properties and in locating land to develop and properties to acquire.
In our effort to lease properties, we compete for tenants with a broad spectrum of other landlords in each of the markets. These competitors include, among others, publicly-held REITs, privately-held entities, individual property owners and tenants who wish to sublease their space. Some of these competitors may be able to offer prospective tenants more attractive financial terms than we are able to offer.
If the availability of land or high quality properties in our markets diminishes, operating results could be adversely affected.
We may experience increased operating costs which could adversely affect our financial results and the value of our
properties. properties.
Our properties are subject to increases in operating expenses such as insurance, cleaning, electricity, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, administrative costs and other costs associated with security, landscaping, repairs, and maintenance of the properties. While some current tenants are obligated by their leases to reimburse us for a portion of these costs, there is no assurance that these tenants will make such payments or agree to pay these costs upon renewal or new tenants will agree to pay these costs. If operating expenses increase in our markets, we may not be able to increase rents or reimbursements in all of these markets to offset the increased expenses, without at the same time decreasing occupancy rates. If this occurs, our ability to make distributions to shareholders and service indebtedness could be adversely affected.
Our ability to achieve growth in operating income depends in part on ourits ability to develop additional properties.
or acquire and redevelop or renovate existing properties.
We intend to continue to develop properties where warranted by market conditions. We have a number of ongoing development and land projects being readied for commencement.
Additionally, general construction and development activities include the following risks:
| ● | construction and leasing of a property may not be completed on schedule, which could result in increased expenses and construction costs, and would result in reduced profitability for that property; |
| ● | construction costs may exceed original estimates due to increases in interest rates and increased cost of materials, labor or other costs, possibly making the property less profitable because of inability to increase rents to compensate for the increase in construction costs; |
| ● | some developments may fail to achieve expectations, possibly making them less profitable; |
| ● | we may be unable to obtain, or face delays in obtaining, required zoning, land-use, building, occupancy, and other governmental permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs and could require us to abandon our activities entirely with respect to a project; |
| ● | we may abandon development opportunities after the initial exploration, which may result in failure to recover costs already incurred. If we determine to alter or discontinue its development efforts, future costs of the investment may be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized and we may determine the investment is impaired resulting in a loss; |
| ● | we may expend funds on and devote management’s time to projects which will not be completed; and |
| ● | occupancy rates and rents at newly-completed properties may fluctuate depending on various factors including market and economic conditions, and may result in lower than projected rental rates and reduced income from operations. |

We face risks associated with property acquisitions.
We
acquirehave acquired individual properties and various portfolios of properties
in the past and intend to continue to do so. Acquisition activities are subject to the following risks:
| ● | when we are able to locate a desired property, competition from other real estate investors may significantly increase the seller’s offering price; |
| ● | acquired properties may fail to perform as expected; |
| ● | the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be higher than original estimates; |
| ● | acquired properties may be located in new markets where we face risks associated with an incomplete knowledge or understanding of the local market, a limited number of established business relationships in the area and a relative unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures; and |
| ● | we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into existing operations, and results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. |

•acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;
•the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be higher than original estimates;

•we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into existing operations, and results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities. However, if an unknown liability was later asserted against the acquired properties, we might be required to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect cash flow.
Many of our properties are concentrated in our primary markets and the Companywe may suffer economic harm as a result of adverse conditions in those markets.
Our properties are located principally in specific geographic areas in the southwestern, southeastern, and mid-western United States.
The Company’sOur overall performance is largely dependent on economic conditions in those regions.
Our investments in joint ventures may decrease our ability to manage risk.
We conduct some of our operations through a joint venture in which we share control over certain economic and business interests with our joint venture partner. Our joint venture partner may have economic, business or legal interests or goals that are inconsistent with our goals and interests or may be unable to meet their obligations. Failure by us, or an entity in which we have a joint-venture interest, to adequately manage the risks associated with any acquisitions or joint ventures could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of our joint ventures and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are leveraged and may not be able to meet our debt service obligations.
We had total indebtedness, including bonds and notes payable, at December 31,
20182021 of approximately
$449.4$366.2 million. Substantially all assets have been pledged to secure debt. These borrowings increase the risk of loss because they represent a prior claim on assets and most require fixed payments regardless of profitability. Our leveraged position makes us vulnerable to declines in the general economy and may limit
the Company’sour ability to pursue other business opportunities in the future.
We may not be able to access financial markets to obtain capital on a timely basis, or on acceptable terms.
We rely on proceeds from property dispositions and third party capital sources for a portion of our capital needs, including capital for acquisitions and development. The public debt and equity markets are
also among the sources upon which
the Company relies.we rely. There is no guarantee that we will be able to access these markets or any other source of capital. The ability to access the public debt and equity markets depends on a variety of factors, including:
| ● | general economic conditions affecting these markets; |
| ● | our own financial structure and performance; |
| ● | the market’s opinion of real estate companies in general; and |
| ● | the market’s opinion of real estate companies that own similar properties; |
•general economic conditions affecting these markets;
•our own financial structure and performance;
•the market’s opinion of real estate companies in general; and
•the market’s opinion of real estate companies that own similar properties.
We may suffer adverse effects as a result of terms and covenants relating to
the Company’sour indebtedness.
Required payments on our indebtedness generally are not reduced if the economic performance of the portfolio declines. If the economic performance declines, net income, cash flow from operations and cash available for distribution to stockholders may be reduced. If payments on debt cannot be made, we could sustain a loss or suffer judgments, or in the case of mortgages, suffer foreclosures by mortgagees. Further, some obligations contain cross-default and/or cross-acceleration provisions, which means that a default on one obligation may constitute a default on other obligations.
We anticipate only a small portion of the principal of
itsour debt will be repaid prior to maturity. Therefore, we are likely to refinance a portion of
itsour outstanding debt as it matures. There is a risk that we may not be able to refinance existing debt or the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of the maturing debt. If principal balances due at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended, or repaid with proceeds from other sources, such as the proceeds of sales of assets or new equity capital, cash flow may not be sufficient to repay all maturing debt in years when significant “balloon” payments come due.
Our credit facilities and unsecured debt contain customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on the ability to incur indebtedness, including total debt to asset ratios, secured debt to total asset ratios, debt service coverage ratios, and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt. Our continued ability to borrow is subject to compliance with financial and other covenants. In addition, failure to comply with such covenants could cause a default under credit facilities, and we may then be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under those circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available, or be available only on
unattractive terms.terms that are detrimental to us. Our degree of leverage could limit our ability to obtain additional financing or affect the market price of our common stock.
The degree of leverage could affect our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes. The degree of leverage could also make us more vulnerable to a downturn in business or the general economy.
An increase in interest rates would increase interest costs on variable rate debt and could adversely impact the ability to refinance existing debt.
We currently have, and may incur more, indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, if interest rates increase, so will the interest costs, which could adversely affect cash flow and the ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and the ability to make distributions to shareholders. Further, rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance existing debt when it matures.
Unbudgeted capital expenditures or cost overruns could adversely affect business operations and cash flow.
If capital expenditures for ongoing or planned development projects or renovations exceed expectations, the additional cost of these expenditures could have an adverse effect on business operations and cash flow. In addition, we might not have access to funds on a timely basis to pay
for the unexpected expenditures.
Construction costs are funded in large part through construction financing, which
the Companywe may guarantee.
The Company’sOur obligation to pay interest on this financing continues until the rental project is completed,
leased upleased-up and permanent financing is obtained, or the project is sold, or the construction loan is otherwise paid. Unexpected delays in completion of one or more ongoing projects could also have a significant adverse impact on business operations and cash flow.
We may need to sell properties from time to time for cash flow purposes.
Because of the lack of liquidity of real estate investments
generally, our ability to respond to changing circumstances may be
limited and generally reallimited. Real estate investments
generally cannot be sold quickly. In the event that we must sell assets to generate cash flow, we cannot predict whether there will be a market for those assets in the time period desired, or whether we will be able to sell the assets at a price that will allow
the Companyus to fully recoup its investment. We may not be able to realize the full potential value of the assets and may incur costs related to the early
pay-offextinguishment of the debt secured by such assets.
We intend to devote resources to the development of new projects.
We plan to continue developing new projects as opportunities arise in the future. Development and construction activities entail a number of risks, including but not limited to the following:
| ● | we may abandon a project after spending time and money determining its feasibility; |
| ● | construction costs may materially exceed original estimates; |
| ● | the revenue from a new project may not be enough to make it profitable or generate a positive cash flow; |
| ● | we may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms for development of a property, if at all; |
| ● | we may not complete construction and lease-ups on schedule, resulting in increased development or carrying costs; and |
| ● | we may not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, necessary governmental permits. |

FACTORS AFFECTING THE INDUSTRY
The overall business is subject to all of the risks associated with the real estate

We are subject to all risks incident to investment in real estate, many of which relate to the general lack of liquidity of real estate investments, including, but not limited to:
| ● | our real estate assets are concentrated primarily in the southwest and any deterioration in the general economic conditions of this region could have an adverse effect; |
| ● | changes in interest rates may make the ability to satisfy debt service requirements more burdensome; |
| ● | lack of availability of financing may render the purchase, sale or refinancing of a property more difficult or unattractive; |
•our real estate assets are concentrated primarily in the southwest and any deterioration in the general economic conditions of this region could have an adverse effect; | ● | changes in real estate and zoning laws; |
| ● | increases in real estate taxes and insurance costs; |
| ● | federal or local economic or rent control; |
| ● | hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes and other similar natural disasters. |
•changes in interest rates may make the ability to satisfy overall debt service requirements more burdensome;
•lack of availability of financing may render the purchase, sale or refinancing of a property more difficult or unattractive;

•federal or local regulations or rent controls;
•acts of terrorism, and
•hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes and other similar natural disasters.
Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with our real estate assets and with the real estate industry.
Our economic performance and the value of our real estate assets, and consequently the value of our securities, are subject to the risk that if our properties do not generate revenues sufficient to meet our operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, our cash flow will be adversely affected. The following factors, among others, may adversely affect the income generated by our properties:
| ● | downturns in the national, regional and local economic conditions (particularly increases in unemployment); |
| ● | competition from other office and commercial buildings; |
| ● | local real estate market conditions, such as oversupply or reduction in demand for office or other commercial space; |
| ● | changes in interest rates and availability of financing; |
| ● | vacancies, changes in market rental rates and the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-let space; |
| ● | increased operating costs, including insurance expense, utilities, real estate taxes, state and local taxes and heightened security costs; |
| ● | civil disturbances, earthquakes and other natural disasters, or terrorist acts or acts of war which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses; |
| ● | significant expenditures associated with each investment, such as debt service payments, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs which are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in revenues from a property; |
| ● | declines in the financial condition of our tenants and our ability to collect rents from our tenants; and |
| ● | decreases in the underlying value of our real estate.

Adverse economic
and geopolitical conditions and dislocations in the credit markets could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, and financial condition.
Our business may be affected by market and economic challenges experienced by the U.S. economy or real estate industry as a whole or by the local economic conditions in the markets in which our properties are located, including the current dislocations in the credit markets and general global economic recession. These current conditions, or similar conditions existing in the future, may adversely affect our results of operations, and financial condition as a result of the following, among other potential consequences:
| ● | the financial condition of our tenants may be adversely affected which may result in tenant defaults under leases due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failures or for other reasons; |
| ● | significant job losses within our tenants may occur, which may decrease demand for our office space, causing market rental rates and property values to be negatively impacted; |
| ● | our ability to borrow on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, or at all, may be limited, which could reduce our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt, reduce our returns from our acquisition and development activities and increase our future interest expense; |
| ● | reduced values of our properties may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or to obtain debt financing secured by our properties and may reduce the availability of unsecured loans; and |
| ● | one or more lenders could refuse to fund their financing commitment to us or could fail and we may not be able to replace the financing commitment of any such lenders on favorable terms, or at all. |
•the financial condition of our tenants may be adversely affected which may result in tenant defaults under leases due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failures or for other reasons;
•significant job losses within our tenants may occur, which may decrease demand for our office space, causing market rental rates and property values to be negatively impacted;
•our ability to borrow on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, or at all, may be limited, which could reduce our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt, reduce our returns from our acquisition and development activities and increase our future interest expense;

Real estate investments are illiquid, and we may not be able to sell properties if and when it is appropriate to do so.
Real estate generally cannot be sold quickly. We may not be able to dispose of properties promptly in response to economic or other conditions. In addition, provisions of the Internal Revenue Code may limit our ability to sell properties (without incurring significant tax costs) in some situations when it may be otherwise economically advantageous to do so, thereby adversely affecting returns to stockholders and adversely impacting our ability to meet our obligations.

General real estate investment risks may adversely affect property income and values. On
Real estate investments are subject to a variety of risks. If the communities and other real estate investments do not generate sufficient income to meet operating expenses, including debt service and Expenditures, cash flow, and the ability to make distributions, the operating income will be adversely affected. Income from the communities may be further adversely affected by, among other things, the following factors:
•changes in the general or local economic climate, including layoffs, plant closings, industry slowdowns, relocations of significant local employers, and other events negatively impacting local employment rates and wages and the local economy;
•local economic conditions in which the communities are located, such as oversupply of housing or a reduction in demand for rental housing;
•adverse economic or market conditions due to COVID – 19 pandemic leading to a temporary or permanent move by tenants and/or prospective tenants from locations in which our communities are located;
•the attractiveness and desirability of our communities to tenants, including, without limitation, the size and amenity offerings of our units, our technology offerings and our ability to identify and cost effectively implement new, relevant technologies and to keep up with constantly changing consumer demand for the latest innovations, including any increased requirements due to the significant increase in the number of people who continue to “work from home”;
•inflationary environments in which the cost to operate and maintain communities increases at a rate greater than our ability to increase rents or deflationary environments where we may be exposed to declining rents more quickly under our short-term leases;
•competition from other available housing alternatives;
•changes in rent control or stabilization laws or other laws regulating housing and other increasing regulation on people and business in locations where our communities are located;
•our ability to provide for adequate maintenance and insurance;
•declines in the financial condition of our tenants, which may make it more difficult for us to collect rents from some tenants;
•any decline in or tenants’ perceptions of the safety, convenience and attractiveness of our communities and the neighborhoods where they are located; and
•changes in interest rates and availability of financing.
As leases at the communities expire, tenants may enter into new leases on terms that are less favorable to us. Income and real estate values may also be adversely affected by such factors as applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Fair Housing Amendment Act of 1988, permanent and temporary rent controls, rent stabilization laws, other laws regulating housing that may prevent us from raising rents to offset increased operating expenses, and tax laws.
National and regional economic environments can negatively impact our liquidity and operating results.
Our forecast for the national economy assumes growth of the gross domestic product of the national economy and the economies of the southeastern and southwestern states. In the event of a recession or other negative economic effects, including as a result of the COVID – 19 pandemic, we could incur reductions in rental rates, occupancy levels, property valuations and increases in operating costs, such as advertising and turnover expenses. Any such recession or similar event may affect consumer confidence and spending and negatively impact the volume and pricing of real estate transactions, which could negatively affect our liquidity and its ability to vary its portfolio promptly in responses to changes to the economy. Further, if residents do not experience increases in their income, they may be unable or unwilling to pay rent increases, and delinquency in rent payments and rent defaults may increase as well as vacancy rates.

ITEM 3. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
Dynex Capital, Inc.
On July 20, 2015, the 68th Judicial District Court in Dallas County, Texas issued its Final Judgment in Cause No. DC-03-00675, styled Basic Capital Management, Inc., American Realty Trust, Inc., Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc., Continental Poydras Corp., Continental Common, Inc. and Continental Baronne, Inc. v. Dynex Commercial, Inc. The case, which was litigated for more than a decade, had its origin with Dynex Commercial making loans to Continental Poydras Corp., Continental Common, Inc. and Continental Baronne, Inc. (subsidiaries of Continental Mortgage & Equity Trust (“CMET”), an entity which merged into TCI in 1999 after the original suit was filed). Under the original loan commitment, $160 million in loans were to be made to the entities. The loans were conditioned on the execution of a commitment between Dynex Commercial and Basic Capital Management, Inc. (“Basic”).
An original trial in 2004, which also included Dynex Capital, Inc. as a defendant, resulted in a jury awarding damages in favor of Basic for “lost opportunity,” as well as damages in favor of ART and in favor of TCI and its subsidiaries for “increased costs” and “lost opportunity.” The original Trial Court judge ignored the jury’s findings, however, and entered a “Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict” (“JNOV”) in favor of the Dynex entities (the judge held the Plaintiffs were not entitled to any damages from the Dynex entities). After numerous appeals by all parties, Dynex Capital, Inc. was ultimately dismissed from the case and the remaining claims against Dynex Commercial were remanded to the Trial Court for a new judgment consistent with the jury’s findings. The Court entered the new Final Judgment against Dynex Commercial, Inc. on July 20, 2015.
The Final Judgment entered against Dynex Commercial, Inc. on July 20, 2015 awarded Basic $0.256 million in damages, plus pre-judgment interest of $0.192 million for a total amount of $0.448 million. The Judgment awarded ART $14.2 million in damages, plus pre-judgment interest of $10.6 million for a total amount of $24.8 million. The Judgment awarded TCI $11.1 million, plus pre-judgment interest of $8.4 million for a total amount of $19.5 million. The Judgment also awarded Basic, ART, and TCI post-judgment interest at the rate of 5% per annum from April 25, 2014 until the date their respective damages are paid. Lastly, the Judgement awarded Basic, ART, and TCI $1.6 million collectively in attorneys’ fees from Dynex Commercial, Inc.
The Company is working with counsel to identify assets and collect on the Final Judgment against Dynex Commercial, Inc., as well as explore possible additional claims, if any, against Dynex Capital, Inc.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In February 2019, Paul Berger
LitigationOn February 4, 2019, an individual claiming to be a stockholder holding 7,900 shares of Common Stock of Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (“IOR”Berger”) filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, individually and allegedly derivatively on behalf of IOR,lawsuit against Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (“TCI”), American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARL”), (TCI is a shareholder of IOR, ARL is a shareholder of TCI) Pillar Income Asset Management, Inc. (“Pillar”), ( collectively the “Companies”), certainus, our directors, our officers and directors of the Companies (“Additional Parties”) and two other individuals. The Complaint filedothers that alleges that the salewe completed improper sales and/or exchangetransfers of certain tangible and intangible property between the Companies and IOR during the last ten years of business operations constitutes a breach of fiduciary duty by the one or more of Companies, the Additional Defendants and/or the directors ofwith IOR. The case alleges otherBerger requests that we pay off various related claims. The Plaintiff seeks certification as a representative ofparty loans to IOR and all of its shareholders, unspecified damages, a returnthat IOR then distribute the funds to IOR of various funds and an award of costs, expenses, disbursements (including Plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees) and prejudgment and post-judgment interest. The named DefendantsIOR's stockholders. We intend to vigorously defend against the action, deny allallegations. The trial for this matter is scheduled for November 2022.
In connection with the formation of VAA, ten of the
allegationsproperties that we contributed to the joint venture were subject to an earn-out provision that provided for a remeasurement of the
Complaint,value of those properties after a two-year period following the completion of construction (the "Earn Out Obligation"). We were unable to reach agreement with our joint venture partner on the remeasured value and
believeas a result, the
allegationsparties filed for arbitration in accordance with the joint venture agreement. On July 13, 2021, we received the arbitration verdict in connection with our dispute on the measurement of the Earn Out Obligation, which determined that our position and claims were declined, and the position of Macquarie was fully accepted. As a result, we were ordered to
be wholly without any merit. While only inpay approximately $39.6 million to Macquarie to satisfy the
early stages of defending the case, it is not clear that Plaintiff owns any shares of Common Stock of IOR or would be a proper representative of IOR or a class of minority stockholders.
Litigation. The ownership of property and provision of services to the public as tenants entails an inherent risk of liability. Although the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various items of litigation incidental to and in the ordinary course of its business, in the opinion of management, the outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.

We are an externally advised and managed real estate investment company that owns a diverse portfolio of income-producing properties and land held for development. The Company’sdevelopment throughout the Southern United States. Our portfolio of income-producing properties includes multifamily residential apartment communities,properties, office buildings and other commercial properties. Our investment strategy includes acquiring existing income-producing properties as well as developing new properties on land already owned or acquired for a specific development project. We acquire land primarily
Our operations are managed by Pillar Income Asset Management, Inc. (“Pillar”) in
in-fill locations or high-growth suburban markets. We areaccordance with an
active buyer and seller of real estate and during 2018 we acquired $103.1 million and sold $57.9 million of land and income-producing properties. As of December 31, 2018, we owned 1,489 units in nine residential apartment communities, and seven commercial properties comprising approximately 1.7 million rentable square feet. In addition, we own 2,405 acres of land held for development. The Company currently owns income-producing properties and land in six states.We finance our acquisitions primarily through operating cash flow, proceeds from the sale of land and income-producing properties and debt financing primarily in the form of property-specific first-lien mortgage loans from commercial banks and institutional lenders. We finance our development projects principally with short-term, variable interest rate construction loans that are converted to long-term, fixed rate amortizing mortgages when the development project is completed and occupancy has been stabilized. The Company will, from time to time, also enter into partnerships with various investors to acquire income-producing properties or land and to sell interests in some of its wholly-owned properties. When the Company sells assets, it may carry a portion of the sales price generally in the form of a short-term, interest bearing seller-financed note receivable. The Company generates operating revenues primarily by leasing apartment units to residents and leasing office, retail and industrial space to commercial tenants.

Other Developments:
During 2021, we recorded a loss of $29.6 million on the remeasurements of certain assets ("Earn Out Obligation") that were sold in connection with our investment in VAA.
On November 17, 2021, we entered into a Major Decision with Macquarie to engage a broker and initiate a sale of all ofthe properties held by VAA, which are wholly-owned,listed in Item 2. Properties as Joint Venture properties. In connection with the sale, VAA will distribute seven of its existing properties to us (referred to herein as the "Holdback Properties") and all entitieswe in which we have a controlling interest.For entities in which we have less than a controlling financial interest or entities where we are not deemedturn, will contribute one of our properties ("Contributed Property") into the portfolio offered for sale to third-parties. The sales price for the Holdback Properties and Contributed Property will be the primary beneficiary,estimated value of these properties as stated in the entities are accounted for usingagreement, multiplied by the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, our shareratio of the net earnings or lossesactual sales price of these entities are included in consolidated net income. TCI’s investment in ARL is accounted for under the equity method.
In accordance withportion of the VIE guidance in ASC 810 “Consolidations,” the Company consolidated nine multifamily residential properties at December 31, 2018 and fifty-one at December 31, 2017, located throughout the United States ranging from 153 units
VAA Portfolio sold to 496 units. Assets totaling approximately $462 million and approximately $1,113 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, are consolidated and included in “Real estate, at cost” on the balance sheet and are all collateral for their respective mortgage notes payable, none of which are recoursea third party to the partnership in which they are in or to the Company.
Real Estate
Upon acquisitions of real estate, we assess the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets, including land, buildings, tenant improvements, “above-” and “below-market” leases, origination costs, acquired in-place leases, other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations”, and allocate the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including land at appraised value and buildings at replacement cost.
We assess and consider fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates, as well as available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considersthose properties that were provided in the valueagreement.
Each of the propertyproperties in the VAA Portfolio is appraised on an annual basis as if it were vacant. We also consider an allocationpart of purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquired in-place leases that may have a customer relationship intangible value, including (but not limited to) the nature and extent of the existing relationshipour filing requirement with the tenants, the tenants’ credit quality and expectationsTASE. As of lease renewals. Based on our acquisitions to date, our allocation to customer relationship intangible assets has been immaterial.We record acquired “above-” and “below-market” leases at their fair values (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) equal to the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (2) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.
Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors to be considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, we consider leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
Transfers to or from our parent, ARL, or other related parties reflect a basis equal to the cost basis in the asset at the time of the sale.
Depreciation and Impairment
Real estate is stated at depreciated cost. The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to the development of properties are capitalized. Capitalized development costs include interest, property taxes, insurance, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development.
A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. Our capitalization policy on development properties is guided by ASC Topic 835-20 “Interest - Capitalization of Interest” and ASC Topic 970 “Real Estate—General”. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We cease capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.
Management reviews its long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates impairment in value. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of its assets is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined by a recent appraisal, comparable based upon prices for similar assets, executed sales contract, a present value and/or a valuation technique based upon a multiple of earnings or revenue. If such impairment is present, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. If we determine that impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value. We did not record any impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Real Estate Assets Held for Sale
We classify properties as held for sale when certain criteria are met in accordance with GAAP. At that time, we present the assets and obligations of the property held for sale separately in our consolidated balance sheet and we cease recording depreciation and amortization expense related to that property. Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. We did not have any real estate assets classified as held for sale at December 31, 2018 or 2017.
Any properties that are treated as “subject to sales contract” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are listed in detail in Schedule III, “Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation” are those in which we have not recognized the legal sale according to the guidance in ASC 360-20 due to various factors, disclosed in Item 1 “Significant Real Estate Acquisitions/Dispositions and Financing.” Any sale transaction where the guidance reflects that a sale had not occurred, the asset involved in the transaction, including the debt, if appropriate, and property operations, remained on the books of the Company. We continue to charge depreciation to expense as a period costs for the property until such time as the property has been classified as held for sale in accordance with guidance reflected in ASC 360-10-45 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”
Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures
Except for ownership interests in variable interest entities, we account for our investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures under the equity method of accounting because the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control, these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. Any difference between the carrying amount of these investments on the Company’s balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized as an adjustment to equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate ventures over the life of the related asset. Under the equity method of accounting, our net equity is reflected within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and our share of net income or loss from the joint ventures is included within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The joint venture agreements may designate different percentage allocations among investors for profits and losses; however, our recognition of joint venture income or loss generally follows the joint venture’s distribution priorities, which may change upon the achievement of certain investment return thresholds. For ownership interests in variable interest entities, the Company consolidates those in which we are the primary beneficiary.
Recognition of Rental Income
Rental income for commercial property leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, we recognize rental revenue of acquired in-place “above-“and “below-market” leases at their fair values over the terms of the respective leases. On our Consolidated Balance Sheets, we include as a receivable the excess of rental income recognized over rental payments received pursuant to the terms of the individual commercial lease agreements.
Reimbursements of operating costs, as allowed under most of our commercial tenant leases, consist of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs, and are recognized as revenue in the period in which the recoverable expenses are incurred. We record these reimbursements on a “gross” basis, since we generally are the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers; we have discretion in selecting the supplier and have the credit risk with respect to paying the supplier.
Rental revenue for residential property leases is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as earned, which is not materially different than on a straight-line basis as lease terms are generally for periods of one year or less. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for all past due rents and operating expense reimbursements considered to be uncollectible.
Revenue Recognition on the Sale of Real Estate
Sales and the associated gains or losses of real estate assets are recognized in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360-20, “Property, Plant and Equipment—Real Estate Sale”. The specific timing of a sale is measured against various criteria in ASC 360-20 related to the terms of the transaction and any continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the properties. If the sales criteria for the full accrual method are not met, we defer some or all of the gain recognition and account for the continued operations of the property by applying the finance, leasing, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate, until the sales criteria are met.
Non-performing Notes Receivable
We consider a note receivable to be non-performing when the maturity date has passed without principal repayment and the borrower is not making interest payments in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Interest Recognition on Notes Receivable
We record interest income as earned in accordance with the terms of the related loan agreements.
Allowance for Estimated Losses
We assess the collectability of notes receivable on a periodic basis, the assessment consists primarily of an evaluation of cash flow projections of the borrower to determine whether estimated cash flows are sufficient to repay principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the note. We recognize impairments on notes receivable when it is probable that principal and interest will not be received in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. The amount of the impairment to be recognized generally is based on2021, the fair value of the partnership’s
VAA Portfolio, based on these appraisals was approximately $1.4 billion. The appraised value reflects an aggregate of individual property appraised value and does not reflect a premium that is sometimes offered in a portfolio sale. These values reflect a compression of cap rates for multifamily properties during the last year. However, there can be no assurances that these values will be realized. The Major Decision agreement will expire on August 1, 2022, if the VAA Portfolio has not been sold. Our ownership interest in VAA is held by SPC, and is therefore subject to the bond covenants of the three series of bonds that have been issued by SPC. These provisions include restrictions on the distribution of cash from SPC (See Note 12 - Bonds Payable in our consolidated financial statements).
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“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.
Some of these estimates and assumptions include judgments on revenue recognition, estimates for common area maintenance and real estate
that representstax accruals, provisions for uncollectible accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, the
primary sourceallocation of
loan repayment. Refer topurchase price between tangible and intangible assets, capitalization of costs and fair value measurements. Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note

receivable.to the consolidated financial statements. However, the following policies are deemed to be critical.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We apply the guidance in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” to the valuation of real estate assets. These provisions define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
aan orderly transaction between
willing market participants at the measurement date
that is other than a forced or liquidation sale, establish a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used in developing fair value estimates and require disclosure of fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3 measurements), such as the reporting entity’s own data.
The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date and includes three levels defined as follows:
| | |
Level 1 | — | Unadjusted quoted prices for identical and unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| | |
Level 2 | — | Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| | |
Level 3 | — | Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement. |
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical and unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
We apply ASC Topic 805, “Business
Combination”Combinations”, to evaluate business relationships. Related parties are persons or entities who have one or more of the following characteristics, which include entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, trust for the benefit of persons including principal owners of the entities and members of their immediate families, management personnel of the entity and members of their immediate families and other parties with which the entity may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the decision making of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing
itsour own separate interests, or affiliates of the entity.
Results of Operations
The discussion of our results of operations is based on management’s review of operations, which is based on our segments. Our segments consist of apartments, commercial buildings, land and other. For discussion purposes, we break these segments down into the following sub-categories; same property portfolio, acquired properties, and developed properties in the lease-up phase. The same property portfolio consists of properties that were held by us for the entire period for both years being compared. The acquired property portfolio consists of properties that we acquired but have not held for the entire period for both periods being compared. Developed properties in the lease-up phase consist of completed projects that are being leased-up. As we complete each phase of the project, we lease-up that phase and include those revenues in our continued operations. Once a developed property becomes leased-up (80% or more) and is held the entire period for both years under comparison, it is considered to be included in the same property portfolio. Income- producing properties that we have sold during the year are reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented. The other segment consists of revenue and operating expenses related to the notes receivable and corporate entities.
The following discussion is based on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 as included in Item 8. “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. Continuing operations relates to income-producing properties that were held during those years as adjusted for sales in the subsequent years.
At December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, we owned or had interests in a portfolio of nine, fifty-nine and fifty-nine income-producing properties, respectively. The total property portfolio represents all income-producing properties held as of December 31 for the year presented. The table below shows the number of income-producing properties held by year:
| | | 2018 | | | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
| Continued operations | | | 9 | | | | 59 | | | | 59 | |
| Total property portfolio | | | 9 | | | | 59 | | | | 59 | |
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2018 to the year ended December 31, 2017:
For the year ended December 31, 2018, we reported net income applicable to common shares of $180.1 million or $20.71 per share compared to a net loss applicable to common shares of $16.7 million or ($1.92) per share for the year ended December 31, 2017. The current year net income applicable to common shares includes a gain on disposition of our 50% interest in VAA of $154.1 million. Current year net income also includes gain on sales of land of $17.4 million and no gain on sales of income-producing properties, compared to the prior year net loss which included gain on sales of income producing properties of $9.8 million and gain on land sales of $4.9 million.
Revenues
Rental and other property revenues were $121.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents a decrease of $4.2 million, as compared to the prior year revenues of $125.2 million. The decrease is primarily due to the contribution of fifty-two properties to the joint venture VAA on November 19, 2018.
Expenses
Property operating expenses were $59.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents a decrease of $3.7 million, compared to the prior year operating expenses of $63.1 million. The decrease is primarily due to the contribution of fifty-two properties to the joint venture VAA on November 19, 2018.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $22.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents a decrease of $2.8 million compared to prior year depreciation of $25.6 million. The decrease is primarily due to the contribution of fifty-two properties to the joint venture VAA on November 19, 2018.
General and administrative expenses were $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents an increase of $5.1 million compared to the prior year expenses of $6.3 million. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due primarily to an increase in fees paid to our Advisors of approximately $1.5 million, general fees of approximately $1.5 million associated with finalizing the formation of the joint venture, legal and regulatory fees of $0.8 million and general and professional fees of approximately $1.0 million.
Net income fee was $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents an increase of $0.3 million compared to the prior year net income fee of $0.3 million. The net income fee paid to Pillar is calculated at 7.5% of net income.
Advisory fees were $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents an increase of $0.7 million compared to the prior year advisory fees of $10.0 million. Advisory fees are computed based on a gross asset fee of 0.0625% per month (0.75% per annum) of the average of the gross asset value.
Other income (expense)
Interest income was $15.8 million for the year ending December 31, 2018 compared to $13.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 for an increase of $1.9 million. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $2.7 million in interest on receivable owed from our Advisors, offset by a decrease of $0.8 in interest on notes receivable from other related parties.
Mortgage and loan interest expense was $58.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents a decrease of $1.0 million compared to the prior year expense of $59.9 million. The decrease is primarily due to the contribution of fifty-two properties to the joint venture VAA on November 19, 2018.
No gain on sales of income producing properties was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2018. Gain on sale of income-producing properties was $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, attributable to the recognition of deferred gain.
Gain on land sales was $17.4 million and $4.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase of approximately $12.5 million was primarily due to sales of land at Mercer Crossing recognized in 2018.
Other income was $28.2 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase of $27.6 million was primarily due to a $17.6 million gain recognized in September 2018 for deferred income associated with the sale of assets, as well as income of approximately $7.6 million from insurance proceeds on Mahogany Run Golf Course.
Gain on disposition of 50% interest in VAA was $154.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. There was no such gain in prior years, the gain was the result of the contribution of fifty-two properties to the joint venture VAA.
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2017 to the year ended December 31, 2016:
For the year ended December 31, 2017, we reported net loss applicable to common shares of $16.7 million or ($1.92) per diluted earnings per share compared to a net loss applicable to common shares of $0.9 million or ($0.10) per diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2016. The current year net loss applicable to common shares of $16.7 million included gain on sale of income-producing properties of $9.8 million and gain on land sales of $4.9 million compared to the prior year net loss applicable to common shares of $0.9 million which included gain on land sales of $3.1 million.
Revenues
Rental and other property revenues were $125.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This represents an increase of $6.7 million, as compared to the prior year revenues of $118.5 million. The change by segment is an increase in the apartment portfolio of $6.2 million and an increase in the commercial portfolio of approximately $0.5 million. We purchased four apartment communities during the year ended December 31, 2016, which produced rental revenue of $8.3 million and $2.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, for a net increase of $6.3 million. In addition, we purchased one apartment property during 2017 that produced revenues of $0.8 million in rental revenues.
Expenses
Property operating expenses were $63.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This represents an increase of $1.2 million, as compared to the prior year operating expenses of $61.9 million. The growth in our apartment portfolio resulted in a $2.9 million increase in property operating expenses. The Company added a net 723 units during 2016 and 201 units during 2017. Property operating expenses for our commercial portfolio decreased $1.8 million. In addition, we had a decrease in property operating expenses for our land portfolio of $1.0 million.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $25.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This represents an increase of $1.9 million as compared to prior year depreciation of $23.7 million. The increase is primarily due to the growth in our apartment portfolio which had an increase of $1.6 million year-over-year.
General and administrative expenses were $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This represents an increase of $0.8 million, as compared to the prior year expenses of $5.5 million.
Net income fee remained constant at $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The net income fee paid to Pillar is calculated at 7.5% of net income.
Advisory fees were $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This represents an increase of $0.5 million compared to the prior year advisory fees of $9.5 million. Advisory fees are computed based on a gross asset fee of 0.0625% per month (0.75% per annum) of the average of the gross asset value.
Other income (expense)
Interest income was $13.9 million for the year ending December 31, 2017 compared to $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a decrease of $0.8 million. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $2.3 in interest on notes receivable, partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in interest on receivable owed from Advisor.
Mortgage and loan interest expense was $59.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This represents an increase of $6.8 million compared to the prior year expense of $53.1 million. The change by segment is an increase in the other portfolio of $9.7 million, an increase in the commercial portfolio of $0.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in the apartment portfolio of $3.0 million and a decrease in the land portfolio of $0.2 million. Within the other portfolio, the increase is due to incurring new mezzanine debt obligations. Within the apartment portfolio, the majority of the increase is due to the acquisition of a new property, partially offset by the refinancing of six loans during 2017 at lower rates.
The gain on sale of income-producing properties $9.8 million was attributable to recognition of deferred gains for the year ended December 31, 2017. During 2016, the Company sold one apartment community located in Irving, Texas to an independent third party for a total sales price of $8.1 million and one apartment community located in Topeka, Kansas to an independent third party for a total sales price of $12.3 million. We recorded an aggregate gain of $16.2 million from the sale of these two properties. The Company also sold an industrial warehouse consisting of approximately 177,805 square feet. The sale resulted in a loss of approximately $0.2 million.
Gain on land sales was $4.9 million and $3.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. During 2016, we sold a combined 129.7 acres of land located in Forney, Texas, McKinney, Texas, Farmers Branch, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee to independent third parties for a total sales price of $29.1 million. We recorded an aggregate $3.1 million gain from the land sales. During 2015, we sold 578.8 acres of land in six transactions for a sales price of $102.9 million and recorded a gain of $18.9 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our principal liquidity needs are:
| ● | fund normal recurring expenses; |
| ● | meet debt service and principal repayment obligations including balloon payments on maturing debt; |
| ● | fund capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing costs; |
| ● | fund development costs not covered under construction loans; and |
| ● | fund possible property acquisitions. |
Our principal sources of cash have been and will continue to be:
| ● | proceeds from land and income-producing property sales; |
| ● | collection of mortgage notes receivable; |
| ● | collections of receivables from related companies; |
| ● | refinancing of existing mortgage notes payable; and |
| ● | additional borrowings, including mortgage notes payable, and lines of credit. |
It is important to realize that the current status of the banking industry has had a significant effect on our industry. The banks’ willingness and/or ability to originate loans affects our ability to buy and sell property, and refinance existing debt. We are unable to foresee the extent and length of this down-turn. A continued and extended decline could materially impact our cash flows. We draw on multiple financing sources to fund our long-term capital needs. We generally fund our development projects with construction loans, which are converted to traditional mortgages upon completion of the project.
We may also issue additional equity securities, including common stock. Management anticipates that our cash as of December 31, 2018, along with cash that will be generated in 2019 from notes and interest receivables, will be sufficient to meet all of our cash requirements. Management intends to selectively sell land and income-producing assets, refinance or extend real estate debt and seek additional borrowings secured by real estate to meet its liquidity requirements. Although history cannot predict the future, historically, we have been successful at refinancing and extending a portion of the Company’s current maturity obligations.
Management reviews the carrying values of TCI’s properties and mortgage notes receivable at least annually and whenever events or a change in circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. Impairment is considered to exist if, in the case of a property, the future cash flow from the property (undiscounted and without interest) is less than the carrying amount of the property. The property review generally includes: (1) selective property inspections; (2) a review of the property’s current rents compared to market rents; (3) a review of the property’s expenses; (4) a review of maintenance requirements; (5) a review of the property’s cash flow; (6) discussions with the manager of the property; and (7) a review of properties in the surrounding area. For notes receivable, impairment is considered to exist if it is probable that all amounts due under the terms of the note will not be collected. If impairment is found to exist, a provision for loss is recorded by a charge against earnings. The note receivable review includes an evaluation of the collateral property securing such note.
Cash Flow Summary
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Part II, Item 8. “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below (dollars in thousands):
| | | December 31, | | | | |
| | | 2018 | | | 2017 | | | Variance | |
| Net cash (used in) operating activities | | $ | (181,187 | ) | | $ | (25,074 | ) | | $ | (156,113 | ) |
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | | $ | 147,625 | | | $ | (98,312 | ) | | $ | 245,937 | |
| Net cash provided by financing activities | | $ | 51,785 | | | $ | 155,995 | | | $ | (104,210 | ) |
The primary use of cash for operations is daily operating costs, general and administrative expenses, advisory fees, and land holding costs. Our primary source of cash from operating activities is from rental income on properties.
Our primary cash outlays for investing activities are for construction and development, acquisition of land and income-producing properties, and capital improvements to existing properties. Our primary sources of cash from investing activities are from the proceeds on the sale of land and income-producing properties. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we advanced $16.8 million toward various notes receivable, purchased income-producing properties for $10.6 million, and invested approximately $85.1 million for the development of new properties and improvement of income producing properties. In addition, we received $236.8 million from the formation of the joint venture with Macquarie. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we advanced $16.4 million toward various notes receivable, purchased income-producing properties for $37.0 million, and invested approximately $77.4 million for the development of new properties and improvement of income producing properties, offset by proceeds from notes receivables of $26.2 million.
Our primary sources of cash from financing activities are from proceeds on notes payables. Our primary cash outlays are for recurring debt payments and payments on maturing notes payable. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the increase in cash flow from financing activities was due primarily to proceeds from borrowings of $123.3 million, and proceeds received from the sale of nonconvertible Series B Bonds by Southern of $59.2 million, offset by payments to our notes payable of $124.6 million. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the increase in cash flow from financing activities was due primarily to proceeds from borrowings of $135.2 million, and proceeds from the issuance of Series A bonds for $115.3 million, offset by payments to notes payable of $83.1 million and bond issuance and financing costs payments of approximately $10.5 million.
Equity Investments
TCI has from time to time purchased shares of IOR and ARL. The Company may purchase additional equity securities of IOR and ARL through open market and negotiated transactions to the extent TCI’s liquidity permits. Equity securities of ARL and IOR held by TCI may be deemed “restricted securities” under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”). Accordingly, TCI may be unable to sell such equity securities other than in a registered public offering or pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act for a one-year period after they are acquired. Such restrictions may reduce TCI’s ability to realize the full fair value of such investments if TCI attempted to dispose of such securities in a short period of time.
TCI also holds a voting and profit participation right of 50% and 49%, respectively in VAA. VAA actively participates in the development and/or acquisitions of Class A multi-family assets.
Contractual Obligations
The following table represents our contractual obligations at December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

(1) | The notes and bonds contain financial covenants that, if certain thresholds are not met, could allow the lender to accelerate principal payments or cause the note to become due immediately. |
Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations,
TCIwe may be potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other potential costs, relating to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property) where property-level managers have arranged for the removal, disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, certain environmental laws impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may seek recovery for personal injury associated with such materials.
Management is
We are not aware of any environmental liability relating to the above matters that would have a material adverse effect on
TCI’sour business, assets or results of operations.
The effects of inflation on
TCI’sour operations are not quantifiable. Revenues from property operations tend to fluctuate proportionately with inflationary increases and decreases in housing costs. Fluctuations in the rate of inflation also affect sales values of properties and the ultimate gain to be realized from property sales. To the extent that inflation affects interest rates,
TCI’sour earnings from short-term investments, the cost of new financings and the cost of variable interest rate debt will be affected.

Results of changesOperations
Many of the variations in the results of operations, discussed below, occurred because of the transactions affecting our properties described above, including those related to the Lease-Up Properties and the Disposition Properties (each as defined below).
For purposes of the discussion below, we define "Same Properties" as those properties that are substantially leased-up and in operation for the entirety of both periods of the comparison. Non-Same Properties for comparison purposes include those properties that have been recently constructed or leased-up (“Lease-up Properties”) and properties that have been disposed of ("Disposition Properties"). A developed property is considered leased-up, when it achieves occupancy of 80% or more.We move a property in and out of Same Properties based on whether the property is substantially leased-up and in operation for the entirety of both periods of the comparison. Accordingly, the Same Properties consist of all properties, excluding the Lease-up Properties and the Disposition Properties for the periods of comparison.
For the comparison of the year ended December 31, 2021 to the year ended December 31, 2020, the Lease-up Properties are Forest Grove, Parc at Denham Springs Phase II and Sugar Mill Phase III; and the Disposition Properties are 600 Las Colinas, Overlook at Allensville Phase II, Bridge View Plaza, Farnham Park and Villager.
The following table provides a summary of the results of operations of 2021 and 2020:

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2021 to the year ended December 31, 2020:
Our $2.6 million increase in net income in 2021 is primarily attributed to the following:
•The $10.7 million decrease in operating profits in our commercial segment is attributed a decrease of $8.1 million from the Same Properties and $1.9 million from the Disposition Properties. The decrease at the Same Properties is primarily due to a $5.9 million lease termination payment at Browning Place in 2020 and a decline in occupancy. The lease termination payment relates to a former tenant that has been replaced by a new tenant at increased rents.
•The $6.3 million increase in general, administrative and advisory expenses is primarily due to a an increase in advisory fees related to the sale of 600 Las Colinas, the refinance of Villas at Bon Secour (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" and "Financing Activities" in Management's Overview), and legal costs associated with the VAA Earn Out arbitration.
•The decrease in interest ratesexpense, net is primarily due to the repayment of the loan on borrowings under600 Las Colinas (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" and "Financing Activities" in Management's Overview) and the repayment of other notes payable in 2021.
•The decrease in loss on foreign currency transactions is due to the decrease in the amount of bonds payable outstanding during 2020 in comparison to 2021, offset in part by the continued decrease in the value of the dollar in comparison to the New Israel Shekel in 2021.
•The $1.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt in 2021 is due to the early extinguishment of our debt instruments that bear interestmortgage note payable on 600 Las Colinas and Villas at variable rates that fluctuateBon Secour (See "Financing Activities" in Management's Overview).
•The $8.8 million decrease on gain on sale or remeasurement of assets is primarily due to the $29.6 million charge from the remeasurement of the Earn Out Obligation (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview) and a $6.7 million decrease in gain on sale of land in 2021, offset in part by a $28.0 million increase gain on sale of various commercial and multifamily properties in 2021 (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview).
•The $15.1 million decrease in loss from joint ventures is due to the increased in occupancy of the various lease-up properties at VAA.
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2020 to the year ended December 31, 2019:
See Item 7 of Part II in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with market interest ratesthe SEC on March 26, 2021 for a discussion of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Liquidity and maturing debt that hasCapital Resources
Our principal sources of cash have been, and will continue to be, refinanced. TCI’s future operations,property operations; proceeds from land and income-producing property sales; collection of mortgage notes receivable; collections of receivables from related companies; refinancing of existing mortgage notes payable; and additional borrowings, including mortgage notes and bonds payable, and lines of credit.

Although history cannot predict the future, historically, we have been successful at refinancing and extending a variable-rate noteportion of approximately $41.9our current maturity obligations.
Cash Flow Summary
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows in Part II, Item 8. “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Year Ended December 31, | | |
| 2021 | | 2020 | | Incr /(Decr) |
| Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities | $ | (10,986) | | | $ | 5,631 | | | $ | (16,617) | |
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | $ | 100,325 | | | $ | 381 | | | $ | 99,944 | |
| Net cash used in financing activities | $ | (103,585) | | | $ | (2,306) | | | $ | (101,279) | |
The decrease in cash from operating activities is primarily due to an increase in reimbursable payments on the Windmill Farms project in 2021.
The increase in cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to a $64.6 million increase in proceeds from sale of assets, a $28.0 million decrease in originations and advances on notes receivable, a $13.2 million increase in collection of notes receivable, and a $9.4 million decrease in development and renovation of real estate. The increase in cash proceeds on sale of assets is primarily due to the sale of 600 Las Colinas in 2021 (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview).
The increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to the $87.2 million increase in payments of mortgages, notes and bonds payable and a $10.7 million decrease in proceeds from mortgages, notes and bonds payable. The increase in payments of mortgages, notes and bonds payable is due to the pay off of the loan on 600 Las Colinas in 2021, the refinancing of Villas at Bon Secour in 2021 (See "Financing Activities" in Management's Overview), and a $34.1 million increase in payments on the bonds payable.
Funds From Operations ("FFO")
We use FFO in addition to net income to report our operating and financial results and considers FFO and FFO-diluted as supplemental measures for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with
GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, impairment write-downs of real estate and write-downs of investments in an
interest rateaffiliate where the write-downs have been driven by a decrease in the value of
5.34%. Our overall weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was 7.1% and 5.5%, respectively.TCI’s interest rate sensitivity position is managedreal estate held by the capital markets department. Interest rate sensitivity isaffiliate and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the relationship between changes in market interest rates and the fair value of market rate sensitive assets and liabilities. TCI’s earnings are affected as changes in short-term interest rates affect its cost of variable-rate debt and maturing fixed-rate debt.
If market interest rates for variable-rate debt average 100 basis points more in 2019 than they did during 2018, TCI’s interest expense would increase and net income would decrease by $0.4 million. This amount is determined by consideringsame basis. We also presents FFO excluding the impact of hypothetical interest rates on TCI’s borrowing cost. The analysis does not consider the effects of foreign currency translation.
FFO and FFO on a diluted basis are useful to investors in comparing operating and financial results between periods. This is especially true since FFO excludes real estate depreciation and amortization, as we believe real estate values fluctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. We believe that such a presentation also provides investors with a meaningful measure of our operating results in comparison to the reduced leveloperating results of overall economic activityother real estate companies. In addition, we believe that could exist in suchFFO excluding gain (loss) from foreign currency transactions provide useful supplemental information regarding our performance as they show a more meaningful and consistent comparison of our operating performance and allows investors to more easily compare our results.
We believe that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an environment. Further, inalternative to net income as defined by GAAP, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. We also caution that FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate companies.
We compensate for the eventlimitations of FFO by providing investors with financial statements prepared according to GAAP, along with this detailed discussion of FFO and a changereconciliation of such magnitude, management would likely take actionsnet income to FFO and FFO-diluted. We believe that to further mitigate its exposureunderstand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changecash flows in TCI’saccordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial structure.statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of and
Stockholders of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc.
and Subsidiaries as of December 31,
20182021 and
2017,2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
2018,2021, and the related notes and schedules
collectively(collectively referred to as the
“consolidatedconsolidated financial
statements.”statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
TranscontinentalAmerican Realty Investors, Inc. as of December 31,
20182021 and
20172020 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
20182021 in conformity with
U.S.accounting principles generally accepted
accounting principles.in the United States of America.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Impairment of investment in real estate
Description of the Matter
The Company’s net investment in real estate totaled $296.4 million as of December 31, 2021. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company periodically assesses whether there has been any impairment in the carrying value of its properties and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized on real estate assets held for investment when indicators of impairment are present and the future undiscounted cash flows for a real estate asset are less than its carrying amount, at which time the real estate asset is written down to its estimated fair value.
Auditing the Company's impairment assessment for real estate assets was complex because of the subjective auditor judgment necessary in evaluating management’s identification of indicators of potential impairment. Our evaluation of management’s identification of indicators of impairment included our related assessment of such indicators, either individually or in combination, in determining whether a triggering event has occurred that requires the Company to evaluate the recoverability of the real estate asset.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the Company’s real estate asset impairment assessment process. Our testing of the Company’s impairment assessment included, among other procedures, evaluating significant judgments applied in determining whether indicators of impairment existed for the Company’s real estate assets. Our procedures included obtaining evidence to corroborate such judgments and searching for evidence contrary to such judgments, including searching for significant tenant write-offs or upcoming lease expirations with little prospects for replacement tenants. We also searched for any significant declines in operating results of a real estate asset due that could be a triggering event or an indicator of potential impairment.
Collectability of Notes Receivable
Description of the Matter
At December 31, 2021, the Company had notes receivable in the amount of $129.7 million. The Company performs an assessment as to whether or not substantially all of the amounts due under these notes receivable is deemed probable of collection. Subsequently, for notes where the Company concludes that it is not probable that it will collect substantially all payments due under the note, the Company creates an allowance for any amounts not probable of collection.
Auditing the Company's collectability assessment is complex due to the judgment involved in the Company’s determination of the collectability of these notes. The determination involves consideration of the terms of the note, whether or not the note is currently performing, and any security for the note.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding of the Company's controls over notes receivable and their collectability assessment. Our testing included among other things, confirming selected notes receivable, determining if the notes were performing according to their terms and testing the Company’s evaluation of the underlying security interest if necessary.
Revenue Recognition (straight-line) for commercial tenants
Description of the Matter
During 2021, the Company recognized office rental revenues and tenant recoveries of $23.3 million and deferred rent receivables of $2.0 million at December 31, 2021. As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue from commercial properties on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.
Auditing the Company's straight-line calculations is complex due to the free rent periods, lease amendments and escalation clauses contained in many of the leases.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding of the Company's controls over office rental revenues and tenant recoveries, including controls over management’s calculation of the straight-line calculation and deferred rent receivable. To test the straight-line rent revenue and deferred rent receivable, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, evaluating the data and assumptions used in determining the calculation and agreeing amounts in the calculation to copies of lease agreements. In addition, we tested the completeness and accuracy of the data that was used in management’s straight-line rent and deferred rent receivable calculation.
As described in the Note
16, Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc.’s18, management intends to sell
landincome-producing assets, refinance real estate and
income-producing properties and refinance or extend debtobtain additional borrowings primarily secured by real estate to meet the Company’s liquidity
needs.requirements.
The supplemental information contained in Schedules III and IV has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company’s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Security and Exchange Commission’s rules. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects,
the financial date required to be set forth therein in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2004.

Southern Properties Capital Ltd. (“Southern”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of TCI that was incorporated on August 16, 2016 for the purpose of raising funds by issuing debentures that cannot be converted into shares on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE"). Southern operates in the United States and is primarily involved in investing in, developing, constructing and operating income-producing properties of multi-family residential real estate assets. Southern is included in the consolidated financial statements of TCI.
On January 1, 2012, the Company entered into a development agreement with Unified Housing Foundation, Inc. “UHF” a non-profit corporation that provides management services for the development of residential apartment projects in the future. This development agreement was terminated December 31, 2013. The Company has also invested in surplus cash notes receivables from UHF and has sold several residential apartment properties to UHF in prior years. Due to this ongoing relationship and the significant investment in the performance of the collateral secured under the notes receivable, UHF has been determined to be a related party.
On November 19, 2018, we executed an agreement between the Macquarie Group (“Macquarie”) and Southern and TCI to create a joint venture, Victory Abode Apartments, LLC (“VAA”) to address existing and future demand for quality multifamily residential housing through acquisition and development of sustainable Class A multifamily housing in focused secondary and tertiary markets. In connection with the formation of the joint venture, Southern and TCI contributed a portfolio of 49 income producing apartment complexes, and 3 development projects in various stages of construction and received cash consideration of $236.8 million. At the time of the transfer of the properties, the joint venture assumed all liabilities of those properties, including mortgage debt to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”).
VAA is equally owned and controlled by Abode JVP, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southern and Summerset Intermediate Holdings 2 LLC (“Summerset”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Macquarie. Pursuant to the Agreement, Abode JVP, LLC and Summerset each own voting and profit participation rights of 50% and 49%, respectively (“Class A Members”). The remaining 2% of the profits interest is held by Daniel J. Moos, who serves as the President and Chief Executive officer of the Company (“Class B Member”) and Manager of the joint venture.
Our primary business is the acquisition, development and ownership of income-producing residential and commercial real estate properties. In addition, we opportunistically acquire land for future development in in-fill or high-growth suburban markets. From time to time, and when we believe it appropriate to do so, we will also sell land and income-producing properties. We generate revenues by leasing apartment units to residents, and leasing office, industrial and retail space to various for-profit businesses as well as certain local, state and federal agencies.

Real estate assets are stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, if deemed impaired. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated remaining useful lives. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the properties (buildings and improvements—10-4010 to 40 years; furniture, fixtures and equipment—5-105 to 10 years).

Real estate held for sale.
We classify properties as held for sale when certain criteria are met in accordance with GAAP. At that time, we present the assets and obligations of the property held for sale separately in our consolidated balance sheet and we cease recording depreciation and amortization expense related to that property. Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell.

For sales of real estate or assets classified as held for sale after January 1, 2015, we will evaluate whether a disposal transaction meets the criteria of a strategic shift and will have a major effect on our operations and financial results to determine if the results of operations and gains on sale of real estate will be presented as part of our continuing operations or as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations. If the disposal represents a strategic shift, it will be classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented; if not, it will be presented in continuing operations.
Any properties that are treated as “subject to sales contract” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are listed in detail in Schedule III, “Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation” are those in which we have not recognized the legal sale according to the guidance in ASC 360-20 due to various factors, disclosed in Item 1 “Significant Real Estate Acquisitions/Dispositions and Financing.” Any sale transaction where the guidance reflects that a sale had not occurred, the asset involved in the transaction, including the debt, if appropriate, and property operations, remained on the books of the Company.

In determining fair value estimateswe apply the following hierarchy:

hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3 measurements), such as the reporting entity’s own data.The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date and includes three levels defined as follows:
Level 1 | — | Unadjusted quoted prices for identical and unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets. |
Level 2 | — | Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |

measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Related parties. We apply ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”, to evaluate business relationships.
Related parties are persons or entities who have one or more of the following characteristics, which include entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, trust for the benefit of persons including principal owners of the entities and members of their immediate families, management personnel of the entity and members of their immediate families and other parties with which the entity may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the decision making of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests, or affiliates of the entity.
Recognition of revenue. Our revenues,
Rental revenue includes fixed minimum rents, reimbursement of operating costs and other leasing income. Rental revenue for residential property, which
are composed largely ofis generally leased for twelve months or less, is recorded when due from residents, whereas rental
income, include rents reportedrevenue for commercial properties, which is generally leased for more than twelve months, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
lease term. In accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, we recognize rental revenue of acquired in-place “above-” and “below-market” leases at their fair values over the terms of the
respectiverelated leases.
Reimbursements of operating costs, as allowed under most of our commercial tenant leases, consist of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs, and are recognized as revenue in the period in which the recoverable expenses are incurred. We record these reimbursements on a “gross” basis, since we generally are the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers; we have discretion in selecting the supplier and have the credit risk with respect to paying the supplier.
Rental revenue for residential property leases is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as earned, which is not materially different than on a straight-line basis as lease terms are generally for periods of one year or less.
An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for all past due rents and operating expense reimbursements considered to be uncollectible.
Sales
Cash and the associated gains or losses related to real estate assets are recognized in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360-20, “Property, PlantCash Equivalents and Equipment—Real Estate Sale.” The specific timing of a sale is measured against various criteria in ASC 360-20 related to the terms of the transaction and any continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the properties. If the sales criteria for the full accrual method are not met, the Company defers some or all of the gain recognition and accounts for the continued operations of the property by applying the finance, leasing, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate, until the sales criteria are met.Restricted Cash
Non-performing notes receivable.We consider a note receivable to be non-performing when the maturity date has passed without principal repayment and the borrower is not making interest payments in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Interest recognition on notes receivable. We record interest income as earned in accordance with the terms of the related loan agreements.
Allowance for estimated losses. We assess the collectability of notes receivable on a periodic basis, the assessment consists primarily of an evaluation of cash flow projections of the borrower to determine whether estimated cash flows are sufficient to repay principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the note. We recognize impairments on notes receivable when it is probable that principal and interest will not be received in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. The amount of the impairment to be recognized generally is based on the fair value of the partnership’s real estate that represents the primary source of loan repayment. Refer to Note 5 “Notes and Interest Receivable” for details on our notes receivable.
Cash equivalents.For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are consideredwhen purchased to be cash equivalents.

INVESTMENT IN VAA
On November 19, 2018, we executed an agreement between the Macquarie Group (“Macquarie”) and SPC and TCI to create a joint venture, Victory Abode Apartments, LLC (“VAA”) to address existing and future demand for quality multifamily residential housing through acquisition and development of sustainable Class A multifamily housing in focused secondary and tertiary markets. In connection with the formation of the joint venture, SPC and TCI contributed a portfolio of 49 income producing apartment complexes, and 3 development projects in various stages of construction. TCI received cash consideration of $236.8 million and recognized a gain of approximately $154.1 million. At the time of the transfer of the properties, the joint venture assumed all liabilities of those properties, including mortgage debt to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”).
VAA is equally owned and controlled by Abode JVP, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPC and Summerset Intermediate Holdings 2 LLC (“Summerset”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Macquarie. Pursuant to the Agreement, Abode JVP, LLC and Summerset each own voting and profit participation rights of 50% and 49%, respectively (“Class A Members”). The remaining 2% of the profit participation interest is held by Daniel J. Moos TCI’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“Class B Member”) who serves also as the Manager of the joint venture. In addition, upon the closing of the agreement the Class B Member received a one time consideration payment of $1.9 million.
The Company accounts for VAA as an equity method investment. Under the equity method of accounting, our net equity is reflected within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and ourthousands, except per share of net income or loss from the joint ventures is included within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The joint venture agreements may designate different percentage allocations among investors for profits and losses; however, our recognition of joint venture income or loss generally follows the joint venture’s distribution priorities, which may change upon the achievement of certain investment return thresholds.

Fair Value Measurement
related leases.
The
Company appliesfollowing table summarizes the
guidance in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” to the valuationcomponents of
real estate assets. The Company is required to assess the fair value of its consolidated real estate assets with indicators of impairment. The value of impaired real estate assets is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses on the expected cash flow of each asset, as well as the income capitalization approach, which considers prevailing market capitalization rates, analyses of recent comparable sales transactions, information from actual sales negotiations and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties. The methods used to measure fair value may produce an amount that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.The fair value measurements used in these evaluations are considered to be Level 2 and 3 valuations within the fair value hierarchy in the accounting rules, as there are significant observable (Level 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3). Examples of Level 2 inputs the Company utilizes in its fair value calculations are appraisals and bona fide purchase offers from third parties. Examples of Level 3 inputs the Company utilizes in its fair value calculations are discount rates, market capitalization rates, expected lease rental rates, timing of new leases, an estimate of future sales prices and comparable sales prices of similar assets, if available. There was no provisionrevenue for impairment during the years ended December 31, 2018, 20172021, 2020 and 2016.

10. Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
On November 16, 2018, we formed Victory Abode Apartments, LLC ("VAA"), a joint venture with the Macquarie Group (“Macquarie”). VAA was formed as a result of a sale of the 50% ownership interest in 51 multifamily properties owned by us in exchange for a 50% voting interest / 49% profit participation interest ("Class A interest") in VAA and a note payable (“Mezzanine Loan”). Concurrent with the Contribution, VAA issued Class B interests with a 2% profits participation interest and no voting rights to Daniel J. Moos, our former President and Chief Executive Officer (“Class B Member”). The Class B Member serves as the Manager of VAA.
Interest on the Mezzanine loan is limited to cash generated from the properties and matures concurrently with the termination of VAA. Accordingly, we account for our interest in the Mezzanine Loan as additional equity interest and includes any interest payments accrued as income from unconsolidated joint ventures.In connection with the formation of VAA, 10 out of the initial properties were subject to an earn-out provision ("Earn Out") that provides for a remeasurement of value after a two-year period following the completion of construction. Upon the formation of VAA, we recorded a liability ("Earn Out Obligation") for the $10,000 advance on the Earn Out that we received from Macquarie.
On March 30, 2021, we sold a 50% ownership interest in Overlook at Allensville Phase II, a 144 unit multifamily property in Sevierville, Tennessee to Macquarie for $2,551 resulting in gain on sale of $1,417. Concurrent with the sale, we each contributed our 50% ownership interests in Overlook at Allensville Phase II into VAA.
On July 13, 2021, we received the arbitration result of a dispute regarding the measurement of the Earn Out Obligation. Our position and claims were declined, and the position of Macquarie was fully accepted. As a result, we are required to pay approximately $39,600 to Macquarie to satisfy the Earn Out Obligation, and therefore, recorded a charge of $29,600 during the year ended December 31, 2021 (See Note 7 – Real Estate Activity). In accordance with the joint venture operating agreement, the Earn Out Obligation will be usedpaid from our share of future distributions from VAA, which generally occur each six months. In July 2021, our $5,441 distribution from VAA was paid directly to repay outstanding interestMacquarie as a reduction of the Earn Out Obligation.
On November 17, 2021, we entered into a Major Decision with Macquarie to engage a broker and principalinitiate a sale of all the properties held by the VAAoperties. In connection with the sale, VAA will distribute 7 of its existing properties to us (referred to herein as the "Holdback Properties") and we in turn, will contribute one of our properties ("Contributed Property") into the portfolio offered for sale to third-parties. The remaining NaN properties as referred to herein as the VAA Portfolio. The sales price for the remaining notes. Furthermore, any surplus cash available from anyHoldback Properties and Contributed Property will be the estimated value of these properties as stated in the agreement, multiplied by the ratio of the actual sales price of the VAA Portfolio over the estimated value of the portfolio as stated in the agreement.
Each of the properties UHF owns, besidesin the VAA Portfolio is appraised on an annual basis as part of our filing requirement with the TASE. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the VAA Portfolio, based on these appraisals was $1.4 billion. The appraised value reflects an aggregate of individual property appraised value and does not reflect a premium that is sometimes offered in a portfolio sale. These values reflects a compression of cap rates for multifamily properties underlying these notes,during the last year. However, there can be used to repay outstanding interest and principal forno assurances that these notes.values will be realized. The allowanceMajor Decision agreement will terminate on August 1, 2022, if the notes was a purchase allowance that was netted against the notes when acquired.VAA Portfolio has not been sold.

PREFERRED STOCK
In November 2006, TCI issued 100,000 sharesform of Series D Preferred Stockmanagement or financial assistance associated with the sale of the properties. Because of the continuing involvement associated with the sale, the sales criteria for the full accrual method was not met, and as such, we deferred the gain recognition and accounted for the transactions by applying the finance, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate. The gains on these transactions have been deferred until the properties are sold to a liquidation preferencenon-related third party. As of $100 per share. The preferred stock is not convertible into any other security, requires dividends payable at the initial rate of 7% annually. The dividend rate increases ratably from 7% to 9% in future periods and can be redeemed at any point after September 30, 2011.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, all 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock were redeemed for $17.2 million, of which $7.2 million was accrued unpaid dividends. At December 31, 2018, there were no preferred shares outstanding.

NOTE 12.
INCOME TAXES
17. Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. We record uncertain tax positions
in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

OPERATING SEGMENTS
Our segments are based on management’s method of internal reporting which classifies its operations by property type. The segments are commercial, apartments, land and other. Significant differences among the accounting policies of the operating segments as compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements principally involve the calculation and allocation of administrative expenses. Management evaluates the performance of each of the operating segments and allocates resources to them based on their operating income and cash flow.
Items of incomeContingencies
We believe that
are not reflected in the segments are interest, other income, equity in partnerships and gains on sale of real estate. Expenses that are not reflected in the segments are provision for losses, advisory, net income and incentive fees, general and administrative, non-controlling interests and net loss from discontinued operations before gains on sale of real estate.The segment labeled as “Other” consists of revenue and operating expenses related to the notes receivable and corporate debt.

Dynex Capital, Inc.
On July 20, 2015, the 68th Judicial District Court in Dallas County, Texas issued its Final Judgment in Cause No. DC-03-00675, styled Basic Capital Management, Inc., American Realty Trust, Inc., Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc., Continental Poydras Corp., Continental Common, Inc. and Continental Baronne, Inc. v. Dynex Commercial, Inc. The case, which was litigated for more than a decade, had its origin with Dynex Commercial making loans to Continental Poydras Corp., Continental Common, Inc. and Continental Baronne, Inc. (subsidiaries of Continental Mortgage & Equity Trust (“CMET”), an entity which merged into TCI in 1999 after the original suit was filed). Under the original loan commitment, $160 million in loans
We were
to be made to the entities. The loans were conditioned on the execution of a commitment between Dynex Commercial and Basic Capital Management, Inc. (“Basic”).An original trial in 2004, which also included Dynex Capital, Inc. as a defendant, resulted in a jury awarding damages in favor of Basic for “lost opportunity,” as well as damages in favor of ART and in favor of TCI and its subsidiaries for “increased costs” and “lost opportunity.” The original Trial Court judge ignored the jury’s findings, however, and entered a “Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict” (“JNOV”) in favor of the Dynex entities (the judge held the Plaintiffs were not entitled to any damages from the Dynex entities). After numerous appeals by all parties, Dynex Capital, Inc. was ultimately dismissed from the case and the remaining claims against Dynex Commercial were remanded to the Trial Court for a new judgment consistent with the jury’s findings. The Court entered the new Final Judgment against Dynex Commercial, Inc. on July 20, 2015.
The Final Judgment entered against Dynex Commercial, Inc. on July 20, 2015 awarded Basic $0.256 million in damages, plus pre-judgment interest of $0.192 million for a total amount of $0.448 million. The Judgment awarded ART $14.2 million in damages, plus pre-judgment interest of $10.6 million for a total amount of $24.8 million.

Berger Litigation
On February 4, 2019, an individual claiming to be a stockholder holding 7,900 shares of Common Stock of Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (“IOR”) filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, individually and allegedly derivatively on behalf of IOR, against Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (“TCI”), American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARL”), (TCI is a shareholder of IOR, ARL is a shareholder of TCI) Pillar Income Asset Management, Inc. (“Pillar”), ( collectively the “Companies”), certain officers and directors of the Companies (“Additional Parties”) and two other individuals. The Complaint filed alleges that the sale and/or exchange of certain tangible and intangible property between the Companies and IOR during the last ten years of business operations constitutes a breach of fiduciary duty by the one or more of Companies, the Additional Defendants and/or the directors of IOR. The case alleges other related claims. The Plaintiff seeks certification as a representative of IOR and all of its shareholders, unspecified damages, a return to IOR of various funds and an award of costs, expenses, disbursements (including Plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees) and prejudgment and post-judgment interest. The named Defendants intend to vigorously defend the action, deny all of the allegations of the Complaint, and believe the allegations to be wholly without any merit. While only in the early stages of defending the case, it is not clear that Plaintiff owns any shares of Common Stock of IOR or would be a proper representative of IOR or a class of minority stockholders.
Litigation. The ownership of property and provision of services to the public as tenants entails an inherent risk of liability. Although the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various items of litigation incidental to and in the ordinary course of its business, in the opinion of management, the outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.
Guarantees. The Company is the primary guarantor, on a $39.1 million$24,300 mezzanine loan between UHF and a lender. In addition, ARL and an officerThe guarantee was removed on January 29, 2021, concurrent with the repayment of the Companyloan by UHF.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share.Earnings per share (“EPS”) have been computed pursuant to the provisions of ASC 260 “Earnings per Share.” Basic EPS is calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Shares issued during the period shall be weightedproperty and for the portion of the period that they were outstanding.
Prior to July 9, 2014, TCI had 30,000 shares of Series C cumulative convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding. These 30,000 shares were owned by RAI, a related party, and had accrued dividends unpaid of $0.9 million. The stock had a liquidation preference of $100.00 per share and could be converted into common stock at 90% of the daily average closing price of the common stock for the prior five trading days. On July 9, 2014, RAI converted all 30,000 shares into the requisite number of shares of common stock. The conversion resulted in the issuance of 304,298 new shares of common stock. The effects of the Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are no longer included in the dilutive earnings per share calculation for the current period, but are considered in the calculation for the prior periods if applying the if-converted method is dilutive.
As of December 31, 2018, there are no preferred stock or stock options that are required to be included in the calculation of EPS.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive
Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive
Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive
Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting. These limitations include the possibility of human error, the circumvention of overriding of the system and reasonable resource constraints. Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of
the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2018.2021. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in
Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013). Based on management’s assessments and those criteria, management has concluded that Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31,
2018.2021.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of
the Company’sour registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial report. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by
the Company’sour registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC that permit
the Companyus to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In preparation for management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, we documented and tested the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31,
20182021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Related Party Transactions
The Company has historically engaged in and may continue to engage in certain business transactions with related parties, including but not limited to asset acquisition and dispositions. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s length basis due to the absence of free market forces that naturally exist in business dealings between two or more unrelated entities. Related party transactions may not always be favorable to our business and may include terms, conditions and agreements that are not necessarily beneficial to or in the best interest of our company.
According to the VAA Joint Venture Agreement, Southern and TCI are expected to receive approximately $14 million ($6 million and $8 million, respectively) for the cash balances remaining in the transferred properties as of the date of the transaction. The balance was determined and agreed upon by the partners in the joint venture, and based on the estimated bank balances on the day of closing. Additionally, VAA did not purchase the accounts receivable or the utilities’ and other deposits. These items as well as the reconciliation of the expense pro-rations will result in additional adjustments being required, subject to the consent of both parties. On February 6, 2019, Abode JVP, LLC, a fully owned subsidiary of Southern, received $7.4 million related to the cash credit and transferred it to TCI. Per the agreement, the true up pro-rations are required to be completed by May 18, 2019.

All services rendered by the principal auditors are permissible under applicable laws and regulations and were pre-approved by either the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee, as required by law. The fees paid to the principal auditors for the services described in the above table fall under the categories listed below:
These services are actively monitored (as to both spending level and work content) by the Audit Committee to maintain the appropriate objectivity and independence in the principal auditor’s core work, which is the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Audit Committee has established policies and procedures for the approval and pre-approval of audit services and permitted non-audit services. The Audit Committee has the responsibility to engage and terminate TCI’sour independent auditors, to pre-approve their performance of audit services and permitted non-audit services, to approve all audit and non-audit fees, and to set guidelines for permitted non-audit services and fees. All fees for 20182021 and 20172020 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee or were within the pre-approved guidelines for permitted non-audit services and fees established by the Audit Committee, and there were no instances of waiver of approved requirements or guidelines during the same periods.
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “SOX Act”), and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor. The purpose of the provisions of the SOX Act and the SEC rules for the Audit Committee role in retaining the independent auditor is two-fold. First, the authority and responsibility for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the auditors should be with directors who are independent of management. Second, any non-audit work performed by the auditors should be reviewed and approved by these same independent directors to ensure that any non-audit services performed by the auditor do not impair the independence of the independent auditor. To implement the provisions of the SOX Act, the SEC issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent may not provide to its audit client, and governing the Audit Committee’s administration of the engagement of the independent auditor. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that they do not impair the auditor’s independence. Accordingly, theOur Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy of audit and non-audit services (the “Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and conditions pursuant to which services to be performed by the independent auditor are to be pre-approved. Consistent with the SEC rules establishing two different approaches to pre-approving non-prohibited services, the Policy of the Audit Committee covers Pre-approval of audit services, audit-related services, international administration tax services, non-U.S. income tax compliance services, pension and benefit plan consulting and compliance services, and U.S. tax compliance and planning. At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Audit Committee will evaluate other known potential engagements of the independent auditor, including the scope of work proposed to be performed and the proposed fees, and will approve or reject each service, taking into account whether services are permissible under applicable law and the possible impact of each non-audit service on the independent auditor’s independence from management. Typically, in addition to the generally pre-approved services, other services would include due diligence for an acquisition that may or may not have been known at the beginning of the year. The Audit Committee has also delegated to any member of the Audit Committee designated by the Board or the financial expert member of the Audit Committee responsibilities to pre-approve services to be performed by the independent auditor not exceeding $25,000 in value or cost per engagement of audit and non-audit services, and such authority may only be exercised when the Audit Committee is not in session.
