ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
- --------------------------------------------

On January 28, 2002, Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IORI") sold the
122,795 sq. ft. Daley Plaza in San Diego, California, for a sales price of $15.5
million to Janey Enterprises, LP. The sale constituted 8.14% of the total assets
of IORI as of December 31, 2001. IORI received $8.1 million in cash after the
payoff of $8.6 million in debt and various closing costs and recognized a gain
on the sale of $7.1 million.

On April 5, 2002, IORI sold all of its residential properties for a sales price
of $26.2 million to Metra Capital, LLC. One of Metra Capital's members is Third
Millenium Partners, LLC ("Third Millenium"). One of Third Millenium's members is
Joseph Mizrachi, a member of the Board of Directors of American Realty
Investors, Inc., a related party. The sale constituted 23.39% of the total
assets of IORI as of December 31, 2001. IORI received $5.4 million in cash after
the payoff of $16.1 million in debt and various closing costs including $262,000
in brokerage commissions to Third Millenium. Due to IORI's relationship with
American Realty Investors and Mr. Mizrachi, management has determined to treat
this sale as a refinancing transaction. The new debt on the properties totals
$21.4 million, bears interest at 7.57% per annum, requires monthly interest only
payments of $135,000 and matures in May 2012. IORI also received $4.0 million of
8% non-recourse, non-convertible Series A Preferred Stock of Innovo Group, Inc.,
a company which has Joseph Mizrachi as a member of the Board of Directors.
