                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

TCI is a Nevada corporation and successor to a California business trust which
was organized on September 6, 1983. TCI invests in real estate through direct
ownership, leases and partnerships. TCI also invests in mortgage loans on real
estate.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. Dollar amounts in tables are in thousands, except per share amounts.

Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2002, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial
Statements and notes included in TCI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2001 (the "2001 Form 10-K").

Certain balances for 2001 have been reclassified to conform to the 2002
presentation.

On January 1, 2002, TCI adopted Statement 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"). The Statement superceded
Statement 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS No. 121") and Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and
Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" ("APB 30"), for business
segments that are to be disposed. SFAS 144 retains the requirements of SFAS No.
121 relating to the recognition and measurement of an impairment loss and
resolves certain implementation issues resulting from SFAS No. 121. The adoption
of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
position or results of operations of TCI.

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Correction"
("SFAS No. 145"). Statement 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment
of Debt" ("SFAS No. 4"), required that gains and losses from the extinguishment
of debt that were included in the determination of net income be aggregated and,
if material, classified as an extraordinary item. The provisions of SFAS No. 145
related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 will require TCI to reclassify prior
period items that do not meet the extraordinary classification. The provisions
of SFAS No. 145 that relate to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 become effective in
fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 is not
expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or
results of operations of TCI.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities," which addresses accounting for restructuring
and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance,
principally Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3. TCI will adopt
the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for restructuring activities initiated after
December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated
with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred.
Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of
a company's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the
liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly,
SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as
well as the amount recognized.

NOTE 2. REAL ESTATE (Continued)

In the second quarter of 2002, TCI completed the 252 unit Limestone Ranch in
Lewisville, Texas, and the 165 room Hotel Akademia in Wroclaw, Poland.

NOTE 3. NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE

In January 2002, TCI purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of ART Two
Hickory Corporation ("Two Hickory"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARI, a related
party, for $4.4 million cash. Two Hickory owns the 96,217 sq. ft. Two Hickory
Center Office Building in Farmers Branch, Texas. ARI has guaranteed that the
asset shall produce at least a 12% annual return of the purchase price for a
period of three years from the purchase date. If the asset fails to produce the
12% annual return, ARI shall pay TCI any shortfall. In addition, if the asset
fails to produce the 12% return for a calendar year and ARI fails to pay the
shortfall, TCI may require ARI to repurchase the shares of Two Hickory for the
purchase price. Because ARI has guaranteed the 12% return and TCI has the option
of requiring ARI to repurchase the entities, management has classified this
related party transaction as a note receivable from ARI. In June 2002, the asset
was refinanced. TCI received $1.3 million of the proceeds as a principal
reduction on its note receivable from ARI.

Also in January 2002, a mortgage loan with a principal balance of $608,000 was
paid off, including accrued but unpaid interest. With the payoff of the note,
TCI recognized a previously deferred gain on the sale of the property of
$608,000.

In August 2001, TCI agreed to fund up to $5.6 million under a revolving line of
credit secured by an office building in Dallas, Texas. In 2002, TCI funded an
additional $1.3 million of the line of credit. At June 30, 2002, TCI had funded
a total of $3.1 million of the note.

In February 2002, TCI sold a $2.0 million senior participation interest in a
loan secured by a second lien on a retail center in Montgomery County, Texas to
Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IORI"), a related party. TCI and
IORI will receive 43% and 57%, respectively, of the remaining principal and
interest payments. Also in February 2002, TCI extended the loan until April
2002, receiving $23,000 as an extension fee. In April 2002, TCI extended the
loan until July 2002, receiving $6,500 as an extension fee. In July 2002, the
loan was extended until September 2002 and TCI received $6,500 as an extension
fee.

Also in February 2002, TCI funded an additional $231,000 to Sendera Ranch, under
a loan secured by 1,714.16 acres of unimproved land in Tarrant County, Texas. In
March 2002, TCI received a $2.4 million payment from Sendera Ranch. TCI received
$1.8 million as a principal paydown, $277,000 as accrued interest, and $323,000
as a partnership distribution.

NOTE 3. NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE (Continued)

In March 2002, TCI sold the 174,513 sq.ft. Hartford Office Building in Dallas,
Texas, for $4.0 million and provided the $4.0 million purchase price as seller
financing and an additional $1.4 million line of credit for leasehold
improvements in the form of a mortgage note. The note bears interest at a
variable interest rate, currently 6.0% per annum, requires monthly interest only
payments of $14,667 and matures in March 2007.

In April 2002, TCI purchased 100% of the following entities: ART One Hickory
Corporation ("One Hickory"), Garden Confederate Point, LP ("Confederate Point"),
Garden Foxwood, LP ("Foxwood"), and Garden Woodsong, LP ("Woodsong"), all
wholly-owned subsidiaries of ARI, a related party, for $10.0 million. One
Hickory owns the 120,615 sq. ft. One Hickory Center Office Building in Farmers
Branch, Texas. Confederate Point owns the 206 unit Confederate Apartments in
Jacksonville, Florida. Foxwood owns the 220 unit Foxwood Apartments in Memphis,
Tennessee. Woodsong owned the 190 unit Woodsong Apartments in Smyrna, Georgia.
ARI has guaranteed that these assets shall produce at least a 12% return
annually of the purchase price for a period of three years from the purchase
date. If the assets fail to produce the 12% return, ARI shall pay TCI any
shortfall. In addition, if the assets fail to produce the 12% return for a
calendar year and ARI fails to pay the shortfall, TCI may require ARI to
repurchase the entities for the purchase price. Because ARI has guaranteed the
12% return and TCI has the option of requiring ARI to repurchase the entities,
management has classified this related party transaction as a note receivable
from ARI.

In July 2002, the Woodsong Apartments were sold. TCI received $2.6 million from
the proceeds as payment of principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the note
receivable.

In May 2002, a mortgage loan with a principal balance of $1.5 million was paid
off, including accrued but unpaid interest. TCI agreed to a 5% discount on the
note and recognized a loss of $75,000 from the note. TCI also recognized a
previously deferred gain of $1.5 million on the sale of the property.

In July 2002, a mortgage loan with a principal balance of $2.2 million was paid
off, including accrued but unpaid interest.

NOTE 4. INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE ENTITIES

Prior to the first quarter of 2002, TCI accounted for its investments in
Tri-City, Nakash and Jor-Trans on the equity method. TCI is a 63.7% limited
partner and IORI is a 36.3% general partner in Tri-City, and TCI is a 60%
general partner and IORI is a 40% limited partner in Nakash. TCI owns a
non-controlling 55% limited and general partnership interest in Jor-Trans. TCI
and IORI have the same Board of Directors and the same executive officers.
Consequently, because TCI has significant influence and a greater than 50%
ownership over the operations of Tri-

NOTE 4. INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE ENTITIES (Continued)

City, Nakash and Jor-Trans, the operations of the partnership have been
consolidated. In the first quarter of 2002, TCI began accounting for its
investment in Tri-City, Nakash and Jor-Trans using a consolidated basis. The
effect of these consolidations increased TCI's assets, liabilities, and minority
interest by $5.4 million, $3.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Real estate entities. TCI's investment in real estate entities at June 30, 2002,
included equity securities of two publicly traded real estate entities, IORI and
ARI, related parties, and interests in real estate joint venture partnerships.
Basic Capital Management, Inc. ("BCM"), TCI's advisor, also serves as advisor to
IORI and ARI.

TCI accounts for its investment in IORI and ARI and the joint venture
partnerships using the equity method.

TCI's investment in real estate entities, accounted for using the equity method,
at June 30, 2002, was as follows:

Management continues to believe that the market value of each of IORI and ARI
undervalues their assets and, therefore, TCI may continue to increase its
ownership in these entities.

NOTE 6. NOTES AND INTEREST PAYABLE (Continued)

112 unit Willow Creek Apartments in El Paso, Texas. Innovo Group, Inc.
("Innovo") is a limited partner in the partnerships that purchased the
properties. Joseph Mizrachi, a director of ARI, a related party, controls
approximately 11.67% of the outstanding common stock of Innovo. Management has
determined to account for this sale as a refinancing transaction, in accordance
with SFAS No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate." TCI will continue to
report the assets and the new debt incurred by the Metra partnerships on the TCI
financial statements. The sales price for the properties totaled $37.6 million.
TCI received net cash of $10.5 million after paying off the existing debt of
$18.0 million and various closing costs. The new debt of $30.3 million bears
interest at 7.57% per annum, requires monthly interest only payments of $212,000
and matures in May 2012. TCI also received $8.0 million of 8% non-recourse,
non-convertible Series A Preferred Stock ("Preferred Shares") of Innovo.

The dividend on the Preferred Shares will be funded entirely and solely through
member distributions from cash flows generated by the operation and subsequent
sale of the sold properties. In the event the cash flows for the properties are
insufficient to cover the 8% annual dividend, Innovo will have no obligation to
cover any shortfall.

The Preferred Shares have a mandatory redemption feature, and are redeemable
from the cash proceeds received by Innovo from the operation and sale of the
properties. All member distributions that are in excess of current and accrued
8% dividends must be used by Innovo to redeem the Preferred Shares. Since
redemption of these shares is subject to the above future events, management has
elected to record no basis in the Preferred Shares.

In August 2002, the lender on three of TCI's Chicago hotel properties notified
TCI that TCI was in default under the provisions of the loan agreement regarding
timely payment and debt service coverage ratio. Management is negotiating with
the lender and expects to resolve the issue.

NOTE 7. OPERATING SEGMENTS

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 income that are not
reflected in the segments are interest, equity in partnerships and equity gains
on sales of real estate which totaled $876,000 and $3.6 million for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2002, and $1.3 million and $1.8 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2001. Expenses that are not reflected in the
segments are general and administrative expenses, minority interest, incentive,
advisory, net income fees and discontinued operations which totaled $4.5 million
and $8.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, and $8.7
million and $12.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. Also
excluded from segment assets are assets of $81.1 million at June 30, 2002, and
$106.3 million at June 30, 2001, which are not identifiable with an operating
segment. There are no intersegment revenues and expenses.

Discontinued operations have not been segregated in the consolidated statements

respective consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Liquidity. Management anticipates that TCI will generate excess cash from
operations in 2002 due to increased rental rates and occupancy at its
properties, however, such excess will not be sufficient to discharge all of
TCI's debt obligations as they mature. Management intends to selectively sell
income producing real estate, refinance real estate and incur additional
borrowings against real estate to meet its cash requirements.

Commitments. In January 2001, TCI exercised its option under the loan documents
to extend the maturity date of three loans with a principal balance of $30.6
million secured by three office buildings in New Orleans, Louisiana. The lender
has disputed TCI's right to extend the loans. This dispute is subject to
litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Louisiana.

Litigation. TCI is involved in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course
of business. Except for the Olive Litigation (see PART II. OTHER INFORMATION,
ITEM 1. "LEGAL PROCEEDINGS), management is of the opinion that the outcome of
these lawsuits will have no material impact on TCI's financial condition,
results of operations or liquidity.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES

Financial statement income varies from taxable income principally due to the
accounting for income and losses of investees, gains and losses from asset
sales, depreciation on owned properties, amortization of discounts on notes
receivable and payable and the difference in the allowance for estimated losses.
TCI had a loss for federal income tax purposes in the first two quarters of 2002
and 2001; therefore, it recorded no provision for income taxes.

                                   ----------

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

TCI invests in real estate through acquisitions, leases and partnerships. TCI
also invests in mortgage loans. TCI is the successor to a business trust
organized on September 6, 1983, and commenced operations on January 31, 1984.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the
presentation of TCI's financial condition and results of operations and require
management's most difficult, complex or subjective judgements. TCI's critical
accounting policies relate to the evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets
and the evaluation of the collectibility of accounts and notes receivable.

If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a
rental property to be held and used or land held for development may be
impaired, management performs a recoverability analysis based on estimated
undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the property in the future. If the
analysis indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from future cash
flows the property is written down to estimated fair value and an impairment
loss is recognized. If management decides to sell rental properties or land held
for development, management evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amounts
of the assets. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value is not
recoverable from estimated net sales proceeds, the property is written down to
estimated fair value less costs to sell and an impairment loss is recognized
within income from continuing operations. TCI's estimates of cash flow and fair
values of the properties are based on current market conditions and consider
matters such as rental rates and occupancies for comparable properties, recent
sales data for comparable properties and, where applicable, contracts or the
results of negotiations with purchasers or prospective purchasers. TCI's
estimates are subject to revision as market conditions and TCI's assessments of
them change. In the second quarter of 2002, TCI recognized $1.9 million as
impairment losses.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Critical Accounting Policies (Continued)

TCI's allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and notes receivable is
established based on analysis of the risk of loss on specific accounts. The
analysis places particular emphasis on past due accounts. Management considers
such information as the nature and age of the receivable, the payment history of
the tenant or other debtor, the financial condition of the tenant or other
debtor and TCI's assessment of its ability to meet its lease or interest
obligations. TCI's estimate of the required allowance, which is reviewed on a
quarterly basis is subject to revision as these factors change and is sensitive
to the effects of economic and market conditions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.4 million at June 30, 2002, compared with
$10.3 million at December 31, 2001. TCI's principal sources of cash have been
and will continue to be from property operations, proceeds from property sales,
the collection of mortgage notes receivable and borrowings. Management
anticipates that TCI's cash on hand, as well as cash generated from property
operations, the sale of properties and the refinancing of certain of TCI's
mortgage debt will be sufficient to meet TCI's cash requirements, including debt
service obligations and expenditures for property maintenance and improvements.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2002, compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
The primary factors affecting TCI's cash from operations are discussed in the
following paragraphs.

Cash from property operations (rents collected less payments for expenses
applicable to rental income) was $25.2 million in the six months ended June 30,
2002, compared to $29.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Rents collected decreased by $5.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002
from 2001. Of this decrease, $9.5 million and $3.3 million was due to the sale
of 19 apartments and 13 commercial properties, respectively, in 2002 and 2001.
Increases in rents collected of $4.4 million were due to the purchase of six
properties in 2002 and 2001, and the completion of the Limestone Ranch
Apartments and Hotel Akademia in 2002. Rents collected also increased by
$435,000 due to overall increased rents and stable occupancies at TCI's
apartments and by $2.5 million due to lease buy outs and collections of
outstanding receivables at TCI's commercial properties.

Payments for property operations decreased to $39.2 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2002, compared to $40.8 million in 2001. Of this decrease, $5.5
million and $1.6 million was due to the sale of 19 apartments and 13 commercial
properties, respectively, in 2002 and 2001 and $457,000 was due to decreased
operations at the U.S. hotels. This increase was offset by increases of $455,000
and $687,000 due to the completion of the Limestone Ranch Apartments and Hotel

                                       22

Akademia, respectively, in the second quarter of 2002. Increases of $2.7 million
were due to the purchase of five existing apartments in 2001 and $88,000 was due
to the purchase of one shopping center in 2002. Payments for property operations
also increased by $1.1 million, $637,000 and $300,000 at TCI's apartments,
commercial and land properties, respectively. These increases were mainly from
increased taxes and insurance payments.

Interest collected increased to $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30,
2002, from $700,000 in 2001. The increase was primarily due TCI funding of seven
loans in 2001 and seven loans in 2002.

Interest paid decreased to $19.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002,
from $20.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. Of the decrease, $4.3
million was from the sale of 27 properties in 2002 and 2001 subject to debt, and
$100,000 was from loan payoffs and principal paydowns in 2002 and 2001. These
decreases were offset by increases of $1.6 million from the purchase of seven
properties in 2002 and 2001 subject to debt, and $1.6 million was due to the
refinancing of 14 properties in 2002 and one property in 2001.

Advisory, incentive and net income fees paid decreased to $2.7 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2002, from $5.1 million in the six months ended June
30, 2001. The decrease was primarily due to no incentive or net income fees paid
in 2002. The incentive fee is equal to 10% of the amount by which the aggregate
sales consideration for all TCI's properties sold during the year exceeds the
total cost of the property plus a simple 8% annual return to TCI's net
investment in such property.

General and administrative expenses paid decreased to $5.6 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2002, from $5.9 million in the six months ended June 30,
2001. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in legal fees and cost
reimbursements to the advisor.

In the first six months of 2002, TCI sold two apartments, one warehouse, one
shopping center and four office buildings for a total of $44.7 million,
receiving net cash of $16.9 million after the payoff of existing debt and the
payment of various closing costs.

Also in the first six months of 2002, TCI financed an industrial warehouse and
14 apartments for a total of $38.5 million, receiving $9.0 million in cash after
the payment of various closing costs.

Further in the first six months of 2002, TCI purchased five parcels of
unimproved land for apartment construction, one shopping center, one office
building and six parcels of unimproved land for a total of $88.5 million. TCI
paid $5.0 million in cash, including various closing costs, assumed existing
mortgage debt of $56.4 million and acquired new debt of $2.5 million for the
purchases. TCI also expended $28.5 million

on property construction, of which $21.2 million was funded by debt. For the
remainder of 2002 and the first quarter of 2003, TCI expects to expend an
additional $121.3 million on property construction projects, of which $113.5
million will be funded by debt.

Also in the first six months of 2002, TCI advanced funds to affiliated parties,
including its advisor, for a total of $38.7 million. For this funding, TCI
received 12% return guarantees for $14.4 million, and real estate valued at
$79.3 million and assumed the existing debt of $55.0 million.

In the third quarter of 2002, TCI sold three apartments for a total of $16.9
million, receiving net cash of $4.4 million after the payoff of existing debt
and the payment of various closing costs, and received $4.8 million on the
payment of two mortgage loans.

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. 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
mortgage note receivable review includes an evaluation of the collateral
property securing each note. 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.

Results of Operations

TCI had net losses of $1.9 million and $3.2 million in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2002, including gains on sale of real estate totaling $7.2
million and $12.7 million, compared to net income of $14.3 million and $14.6
million in the corresponding periods in 2001, including gains on sale of real
estate totaling $22.3 million and $28.7 million. Fluctuations in this and other
components of revenues and expense between the 2002 and 2001 periods are
discussed below.

Rents in the three months ended June 30, 2002, increased to $30.0 million
compared to $28.4 million in 2001. Of this increase, $1.8 million and $140,000
was due to the purchase of five existing apartments and one shopping center,
respectively, in 2002 and 2001, and $378,000 and $181,000 was due to the
completion of the Limestone Ranch Apartments and Hotel Akademia, respectively,
in the second quarter of

2002. Rents also increased by $42,000 due to increased rents and stable
occupancies at TCI's apartments. These increases were offset by decreases of
$463,000 and $478,000 due to decreases in occupancies at TCI's commercial
properties and four U.S. hotels, respectively. Occupancies decreased to 79% in
the second quarter of 2002 compared to 86% in the second quarter of 2001 from
commercial properties located in Texas, Georgia, Florida and Virginia. These
properties represented approximately 43% of the revenues in TCI's commercial
portfolio.

Rents in the six months ended June 30, 2002, increased to $58.5 million compared
to $54.5 million in 2001. Of this increase, $4.5 million was due to the purchase
of six properties in 2002 and 2001, and the completion of the Limestone Ranch
Apartments and Hotel Akademia in 2002. Rents also increased by $363,000 due to
overall increased rents and stable occupancies at TCI's apartments. These
increases were offset by decreases of $923,000 due to decreases in occupancies
at TCI's four U.S. hotels. Overall occupancies for the commercial portfolio
remained constant for the six months ended June 30, 2002. However, occupancies
decreased to 80% from 86% in the six months ended June 30, 2002, from commercial
properties located in Texas, Georgia, Florida and Virginia. These properties
represented approximately 44% of the revenues in TCI's commercial portfolio.
Rents are expected to remain constant or decrease in the remaining quarters of
2002 as commercial occupancies continue to decrease.

Property operations expense increased to $18.9 million and $36.3 million in the
three and six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $15.0 million and $30.4
million in 2001. Of these three and six month increases, $455,000 and $487,000
was due to the completion of the Limestone Ranch Apartments and Hotel Akademia,
respectively, in the second quarter of 2002. Increases of $1.2 million and $2.7
million for the quarter and six months, were due to the purchase of five
existing apartments in 2001 and $74,000 and $88,000 was due to the purchase of
one shopping center in 2002. Property operations expenses for TCI's apartments
increased by $881,000 and $1.1 million in the three and six months ended June
30, 2002. These increases include $301,000 and $550,000 from taxes and
insurance, $247,000 and $293,000 from replacements and $137,000 and $264,000
from personnel expenses. Property operations expenses for TCI's commercial
properties increased by $559,000 and $1.2 million in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2002. These increases include $314,000 and $473,000 from taxes
and insurance, $155,000 and $405,000 from repairs and $171,000 and $318,000 from
personnel expenses. Property operations expenses for TCI's land properties
increased by $299,000 and $330,000 in the three and six months ended June 30,
2002, due to increased taxes. These increases were offset by decreases of
$106,000 and $459,000 due to decreases in occupancies from the U.S. hotels.
Property operations expenses for the remaining quarters of 2002 are expected to
increase as TCI continues to upgrade its apartments and improve its commercial
leasing potential.

Interest and other income increased to $984,000 and $2.1 million in the three
and six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $670,000 and $1.3 million in
2001. The increase was primarily due to TCI funding seven loans in 2001 and
seven loans in 2002. Interest income for the remaining quarters of 2002 are
expected to increase from the additional loans funded in 2002.

Equity in losses of investees decreased to $291,000 and $1.6 million in the
three and six months ended June 30, 2002 from $1.0 million and $2.4 million in
the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in losses from equity
investees is primarily attributed to decreased operating losses at ARI.

Interest expense increased to $9.6 million in the three months ended June 30,
2002, from $8.1 million in 2001. Of this increase, $796,000 was due to
prepayment fees related to the refinancing of 14 properties in 2002, $947,000
was due to the purchase of eight properties subject to debt in 2002 and 2001,
$40,000 was due to the refinancing of one commercial property in 2002, and
$192,000 was due to the refinancing of 13 apartments in 2002. The increases were
offset by decreases of $90,000 and $365,000 due to lower variable rates and
principal paydowns at TCI's apartments and commercial properties, respectively.

Interest expense increased to $18.0 million in the six months ended June 30,
2002, compared to $16.6 million in 2001. Of this increase, $796,000 was due to
prepayment fees related to the refinancing of 14 properties in 2002, $1.8
million was due to the purchase of eight properties subject to debt in 2002 and
2001, $40,000 was due to the refinancing of one commercial property in 2002, and
an increase of $192,000 was due to the refinancing of 12 apartment properties in
2002. These increases were offset by decreases of $357,000 and $970,000 due to
lower variable interest rates and principal paydowns at TCI's apartments and
commercial properties, respectively.

Depreciation expense increased to $4.9 million and $9.8 million in the three and
six months ended June 30, 2002, from $4.1 million and $8.1 million in 2001. Of
these increases, $281,000 and $558,000 were due to the purchase of five
apartments in 2002 and 2001 and $103,000 and $168,000 were due to the completion
of the Limestone Ranch Apartments and Hotel Akademia in 2002. Increases of
$353,000 and $892,000 were due to building and tenant improvements at TCI's
commercial properties, and increases of $31,000 and $81,000 were due
improvements at TCI's hotels. Depreciation expense for the remaining quarters of
2002 is expected to increase as TCI completes its apartment construction
projects.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, TCI recorded a $1.9 million
provision for asset impairment representing the write down of

Advisory fee decreased to $1.3 million and $2.7 million in the three and six
months ended June 30, 2002, from $1.4 million and $2.9 million in 2001. These
decreases were due to a decrease in TCI's gross assets, the basis for such fee.
Advisory fees are expected to decrease with decreases in TCI's gross assets.

Net income fee to affiliate was $1.1 million in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001. The net income fee is payable to TCI's advisor based on 7.5% of
TCI's net income. TCI had a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and
no such fee has been accrued.

Incentive fee to affiliate was $1.6 million in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001. The incentive fee is payable to TCI's advisor based on 10% of
aggregate sales consideration less TCI's cost of all properties sold during the
year. In the six months ended June 30, 2002, the criteria for the fee has not
been met.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $2.2 million and $4.4 million
in the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, from $3.5 million and $5.9
million in 2001. These decreases were mainly due to a decrease in legal fees and
other professional fees.

In October 2000, TCI's stockholders approved the Director's Stock Option Plan
(the "Director's Plan") which provides for options to purchase up to 140,000
shares of TCI's Common Stock. Options granted pursuant to the Director's Plan
are immediately exercisable and expire on the earlier of the first anniversary
of the date on which a Director ceases to be a Director or 10 years from the
date of grant. Each Independent Director was granted an option to purchase 5,000
Common shares at an exercise price of $14.875 per share on October 10, 2000, the
date stockholders approved the plan. On January 1, 2001 and 2002, each
Independent Director was granted an option to purchase 5,000 Common

shares at an exercise price of $8.875 and $16.05, respectively, per common
share. In February 2002, TCI purchased 20,000 options outstanding from retired
directors R. Douglas Leonhard and Edward Zampa for $82,000. In July 2002, Ted
Stokely and Martin White exercised their options for 15,000 shares. As of July
31, 2002, no options were outstanding.

In the three and six months of 2002, gains on sale of real estate totaling $7.1
million and $9.6 million were recognized, $659,000 on the sale of the Primrose
Apartments, $1.2 million on the sale of the Central Storage Warehouse, a
$608,000 deferred gain on the sale of the Madison at Bear Creek Apartments, $1.3
million on the sale of the NASA Office Building, a $1.5 million deferred gain on
the sale of McCallum Glen Apartments, $3.4 million on the sale of Jefferson
Office Building, $895,000 on the sale of Windsor Office Building and a $72,000
loss on the sale of South Green Apartments.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, gains on sale of real estate
totaling $20.6 million and $25.8 million were recognized. The gains included
$1.6 million on the sale of the Heritage Apartments, $167,000 on the sale of
Zodiac Warehouse, $355,000 on the sale of a tract of the McKinney 36 land
parcel, $1.0 million on the sale of Forest Ridge Apartments, $1.0 million on the
sale of Park at Colonade Apartments, $1.0 million on the sale of a tract of the
Round Mountain land parcel, $4.6 million on the sale of Fontenelle Apartments,
$601,000 on the sale of Bent Tree Gardens Apartments, $9.1 million on the sale
of Waterstreet Office Building, $4.2 million on the sale of Technology Trading
Center, $1.4 million on the sale of McCallum Glen Apartments, $836,000 on the
sale of Daley Office Plaza, and a loss of $71,000 on the Moss Creek land parcel.

Tax Matters

Financial statement income varies from taxable income principally due to the
accounting for income and losses of investees, gains and losses from asset
sales, depreciation on owned properties, amortization of discounts on notes
receivable and payable and the difference in the allowance for estimated losses.
TCI had a loss for federal income tax purposes in the first six months of 2002
and 2001; therefore, it recorded no provision for income taxes.

Inflation

The effects of inflation on TCI's 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's
earnings from short-term investments and the cost of new financings as well as
the cost of variable interest rate debt, will be affected.

Environmental Matters

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, TCI 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 not aware of any environmental liability relating to the above
matters that would have a material adverse effect on TCI's business, assets or
results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

At June 30, 2002, TCI's exposure to a change in interest rates on its debt is as
follows:

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In February 1990, TCI, together with Continental Mortgage and Equity Trust
("CMET"), IORI and National Income Realty Trust, three real estate entities
with, at the time, the same officers, directors or trustees and advisor as TCI,
entered into a settlement (the "Settlement") of a class and derivative action
entitled Olive et al. v. National Income Realty Trust et al., relating to the
operation and management of each of the entities. On April 23, 1990, the Court
granted final approval of the terms of the Settlement. The Settlement was
modified in 1994 (the "Modification").

On January 27, 1997, the parties entered into an Amendment to the Modification
effective January 9, 1997 (the "Olive Amendment"). The

                                       29



ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (Continued)

Olive Amendment provided for the settlement of additional matters raised by
plaintiffs' counsel in 1996. The Court issued an order approving the Olive
Amendment on July 3, 1997.

The Olive Amendment provided that TCI's Board retain a management/compensation
consultant or consultants to evaluate the fairness of the BCM advisory contract
and any contract of its affiliates with TCI, CMET and IORI, including, but not
limited to, the fairness to TCI, CMET and IORI of such contracts relative to
other means of administration. In 1998, the Board engaged a
management/compensation consultant to perform the evaluation which was completed
in September 1998.

In 1999, plaintiffs' counsel asserted that the Board did not comply with the
provision requiring such engagement and requested that the Court exercise its
retained jurisdiction to determine whether there was a breach of this provision
of the Olive Amendment. In January 2000, the Board engaged another
management/compensation consultant to perform the required evaluation again.
This evaluation was completed in April 2000 and was provided to plaintiffs'
counsel. The Board believes that any alleged breach of the Olive Amendment has
been fully remedied by the Board's engagement of the second consultant. Although
several status conferences have been held on this matter, there has been no
Court order resolving whether there was any breach of the Olive Amendment.

In June 2000, plaintiffs' counsel asserted that loans made by TCI to BCM and
American Realty Trust, Inc. breached the provisions of the Modification. The
Board believes that the provisions of the Settlement, the Modification and Olive
Amendment terminated on April 28, 1999. However, the Court has ruled that
certain provisions continue to be effective after the termination date. This
ruling was appealed by TCI and IORI.

On October 23, 2001, TCI, IORI and American Realty Investors, Inc. ("ARI")
jointly announced a preliminary agreement with the plaintiff's legal counsel for
complete settlement of all disputes in the lawsuit. In February 2002, the court
granted final approval of the proposed settlement. Under the proposal, the
pending appeal has been dismissed and ARI will acquire all of the outstanding
shares of IORI and TCI not currently owned by ARI for a cash payment or shares
of ARI Preferred Stock. ARI will pay $17.50 cash per TCI share and $19.00 cash
per IORI share for the stock held by non-affiliated stockholders. ARI would
issue one share of Series G Preferred Stock with a liquidation value of $20.00
per share for each share of TCI Common Stock for stockholders who elect to
receive ARI preferred stock in lieu of cash. ARI would issue one share of Series
H Preferred Stock with a liquidation value of $21.50 per share for each share of
IORI Common Stock for stockholders who elect to receive ARI preferred stock in
lieu of cash. Each share of Series G Preferred Stock will be convertible into
2.5 shares of ARI Common Stock during a 75-day period that commences fifteen
days after the date of the first ARI Form 10-Q filing that occurs after the
closing of the merger transaction. Upon the acquisition of IORI and TCI shares,
TCI and IORI

would become wholly-owned subsidiaries of ARI. The transaction is subject to the
negotiation of a definitive merger agreement and a vote of the shareholders of
all three entities. TCI has the same board as IORI and the same advisor as IORI
and ARI. Earl D. Cecil, a Director of TCI and IORI, is also a Director for ARI.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO SECURITY HOLDERS

The annual meeting was held on July 2, 2002, at which meeting stockholders were
asked to consider and vote upon the election of Directors. At the meeting,
stockholders elected the following individuals as Directors:
