                                    PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

   Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. ("TCI"), a Nevada corporation, is
the successor to a California business trust that was organized on September 6,
1983 and commenced operations on January 31, 1984. On November 30, 1999, TCI
acquired all of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of Continental
Mortgage and Equity Trust ("CMET"), a real estate company, in a tax-free
exchange of shares, issuing 1.181 shares of its Common Stock for each
outstanding CMET share.

   Prior to January 1, 2000, TCI elected to be treated as a Real Estate
Investment Trust ("REIT") under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). During the third quarter of
2000, due to a concentration of ownership TCI no longer met the requirement for
tax treatment as a REIT. Under the Code, TCI cannot re-qualify for REIT tax
status for at least five years.

   TCI's real estate at December 31, 2002, consisted of 128 properties held for
investment, one partnership property and 11 properties held for sale In 2002,
TCI purchased 16 properties held for investment. TCI's mortgage notes
receivable portfolio at December 31, 2002, consisted of 13 mortgage loans.
TCI's real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios are more fully
discussed in ITEM 2. "PROPERTIES."

   On October 23, 2001, TCI, Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IORI")
and American Realty Investors, Inc. ("ARI") jointly announced a preliminary
agreement with the plaintiff's legal counsel of the derivative action entitled
Olive et al. v. National Income Realty Trust, et al. for complete settlement of
all disputes in the lawsuit (the "Olive Litigation"). In February 2002, the
court granted final approval of the proposed settlement (the "Olive
Settlement"). Under the Olive Settlement, ARI agreed to either (i) acquire all
of the outstanding shares of TCI and IORI not currently owned by ARI for a cash
payment or shares of ARI preferred stock or (ii) make a tender offer for all of
the outstanding shares of TCI and IORI not currently owned by ARI. On November
15, 2002, ARI commenced the tender offer for the TCI and IORI shares. The
tender offer was completed on March 18, 2003. ARI paid $19.00 cash per IORI
share and $17.50 cash per TCI share for the stock tendered by non-affiliated
stockholders. Pursuant to the tender offers, ARI acquired 1,213,226 TCI shares
and 265,036 IORI shares. The completion of the tender offers fulfills the
obligations under the Olive Settlement and the Olive Litigation has been
dismissed with prejudice. TCI has the same board as IORI and the same advisor
as IORI and ARI. Two of the directors of TCI and IORI also serve as directors
of ARI.

Business Plan and Investment Policy

   TCI's business is investing in real estate through direct equity ownership
and partnerships and financing real estate and real estate related activities
through investments in mortgage loans, including first, wraparound and junior
mortgage loans. TCI's real estate is located throughout the continental United
States and one property is located in Poland. Information regarding TCI's real
estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios is set forth in ITEM 2.
"PROPERTIES", and in Schedules III and IV to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included at ITEM 8. "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA."

   TCI's business is not seasonal. Management has determined to continue to
pursue a balanced investment policy, seeking both current income and capital
appreciation. With respect to new real estate investments, management's plan of
operation is to consider all types of real estate with an emphasis on
properties generating current cash flow. Management expects to invest in and
improve these properties to maximize both their immediate and long-term value.
Management has also considered the development of apartment properties in
selected markets primarily in Texas.

   Management also expects to consider property sales opportunities for
properties in stabilized real estate markets where TCI's properties have
reached their potential. Management also expects to be an opportunistic seller
of properties in markets that have become overheated, i.e. an abundance of
buyers.

                                      3



   Management's operating strategy with regard to TCI's properties is to
maximize each property's operating income by aggressive property management
through closely monitoring expenses while at the same time making property
renovations and/or improvements where appropriate. While such expenditures
increase the amount of revenue required to cover operating expenses, management
believes that such expenditures are necessary to maintain or enhance the value
of the properties.

   Management does not expect that TCI will seek to fund or acquire new
mortgage loans in 2003. However, TCI may originate mortgage loans in
conjunction with providing purchase money financing of a property sale.
Management intends to service and hold for investment the mortgage notes in
TCI's portfolio. However, TCI may borrow against its mortgage notes, using the
proceeds from such borrowings for property acquisitions or for general working
capital needs. Management also intends to pursue TCI's rights vigorously with
respect to mortgage notes that are in default. TCI's Articles of Incorporation
impose no limitations on its investment policy with respect to mortgage loans
and does not prohibit it from investing more than a specified percentage of its
assets in any one mortgage loan.

Management of the Company

   Although the Board of Directors is directly responsible for managing the
affairs of TCI and for setting the policies which guide it, its day-to-day
operations are performed by Basic Capital Management, Inc. ("BCM"), a
contractual advisor under the supervision of the Board. The duties of BCM
include, among other things, locating, investigating, evaluating and
recommending real estate and mortgage note investment and sales opportunities,
as well as financing and refinancing sources. BCM also serves as a consultant
in connection with TCI's business plan and investment decisions made by the
Board.

   BCM is indirectly owned by a trust for the children of Gene E. Phillips. Mr.
Phillips is not an officer or director of BCM, but serves as a representative
of the trust, is involved in daily consultation with the officers of BCM and
has significant influence over the conduct of BCM's business, including the
rendering of advisory services and the making of investment decisions for
itself and for TCI. BCM is more fully described in ITEM 10. "DIRECTORS,
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ADVISOR OF THE REGISTRANT--The Advisor."

   BCM has been providing advisory services to TCI since March 28, 1989. BCM
also serves as advisor to IORI and ARI. The Directors of TCI are also directors
of IORI. The officers of TCI also serve as officers of ARI, IORI, and BCM. As
of March 19, 2003 and after completion of the tender offer, TCI owned
approximately 24.0% of IORI's outstanding shares of common stock and ARI owned
approximately 64.5% and BCM owned approximately 14.5% of the outstanding shares
of TCI's common stock.

   Since February 1, 1990, affiliates of BCM have provided property management
services to TCI. Currently, Triad Realty Services, Ltd. ("Triad") provides such
property management services. Triad subcontracts with other entities for the
provision of property-level management services to TCI. The general partner of
Triad is BCM. The limited partner of Triad is Highland Realty Services, Inc.
("Highland") a related party. Until December 2002, Triad subcontracted the
property-level management and leasing of 45 of TCI's commercial properties to
Regis Realty, Inc. ("Regis"), a related party, which was a company owned by GS
Realty Services, Inc. Regis was entitled to receive property and construction
management fees and leasing commissions in accordance with the terms of its
property-level management agreement with Triad. Regis also was entitled to
receive real estate brokerage commissions in accordance with the terms of a
non-exclusive brokerage agreement. Since January 1, 2003, Regis Realty I, LLC
("Regis I"), has provided these services. Regis I is owned by Highland. Regis
Hotel Corporation, a related party, managed TCI's five hotels, until December
2002. Since January 1, 2003, Regis Hotel I, LLC, has managed TCI's five hotels.
The sole member of Regis I and Regis Hotel I, LLC is Highland. See ITEM 10.
"DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ADVISOR OF THE REGISTRANT--The Advisor."

   TCI has no employees. Employees of BCM render services to TCI.

                                      4



Competition

   The real estate business is highly competitive and TCI competes with
numerous entities engaged in real estate activities (including certain entities
described in ITEM 13. "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS--Related
Party Transactions"), some of which have greater financial resources than those
of TCI. Management believes that success against such competition is dependent
upon the geographic location of the property, the performance of property-level
managers in areas such as marketing, collections and control of operating
expenses, the amount of new construction in the area and the maintenance and
appearance of the property. Additional competitive factors with respect to
commercial properties are the ease of access to the property, the adequacy of
related facilities, such as parking, and sensitivity to market conditions in
setting rent levels. With respect to apartments, competition is also based upon
the design and mix of units and the ability to provide a community atmosphere
for the tenants. Management believes that beyond general economic circumstances
and trends, the rate at which properties are renovated or the rate new
properties are developed in the vicinity of each of TCI's properties also are
competitive factors.

   To the extent that TCI seeks to sell any of its properties, the sales prices
for such properties may be affected by competition from other real estate
entities and financial institutions also attempting to sell their properties
located in areas in which TCI's properties are located, as well as by
aggressive buyers attempting to penetrate or dominate a particular market.

   As described above and in ITEM 13. "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS--Related Party Transactions," the officers and Directors of TCI
also serve as officers or directors of certain other entities, also advised by
BCM, and which have business objectives similar to those of TCI. TCI's
Directors, officers and advisor owe fiduciary duties to such other entities as
well as to TCI under applicable law. In determining to which entity a
particular investment opportunity will be allocated, the officers, Directors
and advisor consider the respective investment objectives of each such entity
and the appropriateness of a particular investment in light of each such
entity's existing real estate portfolio. To the extent that any particular
investment opportunity is appropriate to more than one of the entities, the
investment opportunity will 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 or some of the entities.

   In addition, as also described in ITEM 13. "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND
RELATED TRANSACTIONS--Certain Business Relationships," TCI also competes with
other entities which are affiliates of BCM and which have investment objectives
similar to TCI's and that may compete with it in purchasing, selling, leasing
and financing of real estate and real estate related investments. In resolving
any potential conflicts of interest which may arise, BCM has informed
management that it intends to continue to exercise its best judgment as to what
is fair and reasonable under the circumstances in accordance with applicable
law.

Certain Factors Associated with Real Estate and Related Investments

   TCI is subject to all the risks incident to ownership and financing of real
estate and interests therein, many of which relate to the general illiquidity
of real estate investments. These risks include, but are not limited to,
changes in general or local economic conditions, changes in interest rates and
the availability of permanent mortgage financing which may render the purchase,
sale or refinancing of a property difficult or unattractive and which may make
debt service burdensome, changes in real estate and zoning laws, increases in
real estate taxes, federal or local economic or rent controls, floods,
earthquakes, hurricanes and other acts of God and other factors beyond the
control of management or BCM. The illiquidity of real estate investments may
also impair the ability of management to respond promptly to changing
circumstances. Management believes that such risks are partially mitigated by
the diversification by geographic region and property type of TCI's real estate
and mortgage notes receivable portfolios. However, to the extent new property
investments or mortgage lending is concentrated in any particular region or
property type, the advantages of diversification may be mitigated.

                                      5



ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

   TCI's principal offices are located at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite 300,
Dallas, Texas 75234 and are, in the opinion of management, suitable and
adequate for TCI's present operations.

   Details of TCI's real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios at
December 31, 2002, are set forth in Schedules III and IV to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included at ITEM 8. "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
SUPPLEMENTARY DATA." The discussions set forth below under the headings "Real
Estate" and "Mortgage Loans" provide certain summary information concerning
TCI's real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios.

   TCI's real estate portfolio consists of properties held for investment,
properties held for sale, which were primarily obtained through foreclosure of
the collateral securing mortgage notes receivable, and investments in
partnerships. The discussion set forth below under the heading "Real Estate"
provides certain summary information concerning TCI's real estate and further
summary information with respect to its properties held for investment,
properties held for sale and its investment in partnerships.

   At December 31, 2002, none of TCI's properties, mortgage notes receivable or
investment in partnerships exceeded 10% of total assets. At December 31, 2002,
86% of TCI's assets consisted of properties held for investment, 3% consisted
of properties held for sale, 3% consisted of mortgage notes and interest
receivable and 2% consisted of investments in partnerships. The remaining 6% of
TCI's assets were invested in cash, cash equivalents and other assets. The
percentage of TCI's assets invested in any one category is subject to change
and no assurance can be given that the composition of TCI's assets in the
future will approximate the percentages listed above.

   TCI's real estate is geographically diverse. At December 31, 2002, TCI held
investments in apartments and commercial properties in each of the geographic
regions of the continental United States, although its apartments and
commercial properties were concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest regions,
as shown more specifically in the table under "Real Estate" below. At December
31, 2002, TCI held mortgage notes receivable secured by apartments and
commercial properties in the Southwest and Midwest regions of the continental
United States, as shown more specifically in the table under "Mortgage Loans"
below.

                                      6



Geographic Regions

   TCI has divided the continental United States into the following geographic
regions.




                   [GEOGRAPHIC REGION MAP]

     Northeast region comprised of the states of Connecticut, Delaware,
     Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania,
     Rhode Island and Vermont, and the District of Columbia. TCI owns a
     commercial property in this region.

     Southeast region comprised of the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
     Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. TCI
     owns five apartments and 18 commercial properties in this region.

     Southwest region comprised of the states of Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana,
     New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. TCI owns 47 apartments and 18 commercial
     properties in this region.

     Midwest region comprised of the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
     Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio,
     South Dakota, West Virginia and Wisconsin. TCI owns two apartments, for
     commercial properties and three hotels in this region.

     Mountain region comprised of the states of Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
     Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. TCI owns three commercial properties in this
     region.

     Pacific region comprised of the states of California, Oregon and
     Washington. TCI owns a hotel and two commercial properties in this region.


   Excluded from the above are 34 parcels of unimproved land and one hotel in
Wroclaw, Poland, as described below.

Real Estate

   At December 31, 2002, approximately 92% of TCI's assets were invested in
real estate. TCI invests primarily in real estate located throughout the
continental United States, either on a leveraged or nonleveraged basis. TCI's
real estate portfolio consists of properties held for investment, investments
in partnerships and properties held for sale (which were primarily obtained
through foreclosure of the collateral securing mortgage notes receivable).

   Types of Real Estate Investments.  TCI's real estate consists of commercial
properties (office buildings, industrial warehouses and shopping centers),
hotels and apartments having established income-producing capabilities. In
selecting real estate for investment, the location, age and type of property,
gross rents, lease terms, financial and business standing of tenants, operating
expenses, fixed charges, land values and physical condition are among the
factors considered. TCI may acquire properties subject to or assume existing
debt and may mortgage, pledge or otherwise obtain financing for its properties.
The Board of Directors may alter the types of and criteria for selecting new
real estate investments and for obtaining financing without a vote of
stockholders.

   TCI's real estate portfolio consists of 140 owned properties. Of the 140
properties, 12 apartments were sold to partnerships controlled by Metra
Capital, LLC ("Metra"). See NOTE 6. "NOTES AND INTEREST PAYABLE." Because the
Metra sales transaction was accounted for as a finance transaction, TCI
continues to account for the 12 properties as owned properties.

                                      7



   TCI typically invests in developed real estate. However, TCI has recently
invested in unimproved land and apartment development and construction. To the
extent that TCI continues to invest in development and construction projects,
it will be subject to business risks, such as cost overruns and construction
delays, associated with such higher risk projects.

   At December 31, 2002, TCI had the following properties under construction:



                                                           Additional Construction

the 284 unit Falcon Lakes Apartments in Arlington, Texas, the 190 unit Tivoli
Apartments in Dallas, Texas, the 80 unit Waters Edge IV Apartments in Gulfport,
Mississippi and the 165 room Hotel Akademia in Wroclaw, Poland.

   In the opinion of management, the properties owned by TCI are adequately
covered by insurance.

   The following table sets forth the percentages, by property type and
geographic region, of TCI's real estate (other than four hotels in the Pacific

   The Red Cross land was under contract to sell and the sales price was used
as fair value. The fair value determined for four apartments above were agreed
upon purchase prices as part of the refinancing transaction with Metra Capital,
LLC. The costs to sell were actual fees paid to refinance the properties. TCI
is in current negotiations to refinance the Plantation Apartments. Lenders will
refinance the property at between 80% and 90% of the value of the property.
Currently, the loans are in the range of $2.0 million and $2.4 million.

Mortgage Loans

   In addition to investments in real estate, a portion of TCI's assets are
invested in mortgage notes receivable, principally secured by real estate. TCI
may originate mortgage loans in conjunction with providing purchase money
financing of property sales. Management intends to service and hold for
investment the mortgage notes in TCI's portfolio. TCI's mortgage notes
receivable consist of first, wraparound and junior mortgage loans.

                                      14



   Types of Mortgage Activity.  TCI has originated its own mortgage loans, as
well as acquired existing mortgage notes either directly from builders,
developers or property owners, or through mortgage banking firms, commercial
banks or other qualified brokers. BCM, in its capacity as a mortgage servicer,
services TCI's mortgage notes. TCI's investment policy is described in ITEM 1.
"BUSINESS--Business Plan and Investment Policy."

   Types of Properties Securing Mortgage Notes.  The properties securing TCI's
mortgage notes receivable portfolio at December 31, 2002, consisted of two
apartments, six office buildings, a shopping center, and unimproved land. The
Board of Directors may alter the types of properties securing or
collateralizing mortgage loans in which TCI invests without a vote of
stockholders. TCI's Articles of Incorporation impose certain restrictions on
transactions with related parties, as discussed in ITEM 13. "CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS."

   At December 31, 2002, TCI's mortgage notes receivable portfolio included
nine mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance of $16.5 million
secured by income-producing real estate located in the Midwest, Southeast and
Southwest regions of the continental United States, three mortgage loans with
an aggregate principal balance of $11.8 million secured by unimproved land in
the Pacific and Southwest regions of the continental United States and one loan
with a principal balance of $100,000 secured by a partnership interest. At
December 31, 2002, 3% of TCI's assets were invested in notes and interest
receivable.

   The following table sets forth the percentages (based on the mortgage note
principal balance) by property type and geographic region, of the income
producing properties that serve as collateral for TCI's mortgage notes
receivable at December 31, 2002. See Schedule IV to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included at ITEM 8. "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA"

   During 2002, $11.9 million was collected in full payment of seven mortgage
notes and $4.3 million in principal payments were received on other mortgage
notes. At December 31, 2002, 1% of TCI's assets were invested in mortgage notes
secured by non-income producing real estate, comprised of a first lien mortgage
note secured by 36 acres of unimproved land in Palm Desert, California, a
second lien mortgage note secured by 1,714 acres of unimproved land in Tarrant
County, Texas, a second lien on 21.6 acres of unimproved land in Tarrant
County, Texas, and a loan secured by a partnership interest.

   First Mortgage Loans.  TCI invests in first mortgage notes with short,
medium or long-term maturities. First mortgage loans generally provide for
level periodic payments of principal and interest sufficient to substantially
repay the loan prior to maturity, but may involve interest-only payments or
moderate amortization

                                      15



of principal and a "balloon" principal payment at maturity. With respect to
first mortgage loans, the borrower is required to provide a mortgagee's title
policy or an acceptable legal title opinion as to the validity and the priority
of the mortgage lien over all other obligations, except liens arising from
unpaid property taxes and other exceptions normally allowed by first mortgage
lenders in the relevant area. TCI may grant participations in first mortgage
loans that it originates to other lenders.

   In July 2001, TCI funded a $1.7 million mortgage loan secured by a first
lien on 44.6 acres of unimproved land in Fort Worth, Texas, and a 100% interest
in a partnership. The note receivable bears interest at 16.0% per annum,
requires monthly interest only payments and matured in June 2002. In September
2002, TCI received $1.3 million on the note. With this payment, TCI agreed to
release the lien on the 44.6 acres substituting a second lien on 21.61 acres of
unimproved land in Tarrant County, Texas, from the borrower to secure the
remaining $689,000 in debt. TCI has extended the maturity to November 2002. As
of March 2003, management continued efforts to collect the remaining balance.

   Junior Mortgage Loans.  TCI may invest in junior mortgage loans, secured by
mortgages that are subordinate to one or more prior liens either on the fee or
a leasehold interest in real estate. Recourse on such loans ordinarily includes
the real estate on which the loan is made, other collateral and personal
guarantees by the borrower. The Board of Directors restricts investment in
junior mortgage loans, excluding wraparound mortgage loans, to not more than
10% of TCI's assets. At December 31, 2001, 2% of TCI's assets were invested in
junior and wraparound mortgage loans.

   The following discussion briefly describes the junior mortgage loans that
TCI originated as well as events that affected previously funded junior
mortgage loans during 2002.

   In March 2001, TCI funded a $3.5 million mortgage loan secured by a second
lien on a retail center in Montgomery County, Texas. In June 2001, an
additional $1.5 million was funded. The note receivable bore interest at 16.0%
per annum, required monthly interest only payments of $67,000 and matured in
September 2001. In October 2001, TCI extended the loan until February 2002,
receiving $100,000 as an extension fee. In December 2001, TCI received a $1.5
million principal payment. In February 2002, TCI sold a $2.0 million senior
participation interest in the loan to IORI, a related party. TCI and IORI
received 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, the loan was extended
until July 2002. In July 2002, the loan was extended until September 2002. In
August 2002, the loan was paid off, including accrued but unpaid interest.

   In June 2001, in conjunction with the sale of 275 unit McCallum Glen
Apartments in Dallas, Texas, TCI funded a $1.5 million mortgage loan secured by
a second lien on the apartments. The note receivable bore interest at 10% per
annum, required monthly interest only payments and matured in June 2003. In May
2002, the loan was paid off. 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 on $1.5 million on the sale of the property.

   In July 2001, TCI agreed to fund a $4.4 million line of credit secured by a
second lien on 1,714.16 acres of unimproved land in Tarrant County, Texas. The
note receivable bears interest at 15% per annum, requires monthly interest only
payments beginning in September 2001 and matures in July 2003. In March 2002,
TCI received a $1.8 million principal payment. As of March 2003, TCI has funded
$2.4 million of the line of credit.

   In August 2001, TCI agreed to fund up to $5.6 million loan secured by a
second lien on an office building in Dallas, Texas. The note receivable bears
interest at a variable rate, currently 9.0% per annum, requires monthly
interest only payments and matured in January 2003. As of March 2003, TCI has
funded a total of $4.3 million. On January 23, 2003, TCI agreed to extend the
maturity date until May 1, 2003. The agreement requires interest to accrue at
the default rate of 18%.

                                      16



   In December 2000, TCI funded a $3.0 million mortgage loan secured by a
second lien on four office buildings in San Antonio, Texas. The note receivable
bore interest at 16.0% per annum, required monthly interest only payments of
$40,000 and matured in June 2001. The note was extended until November 2001
with a $750,000 loan principal paydown. With this paydown, the note was
renegotiated to replace the existing collateral with new collateral consisting
of a 120,000 sq. ft. office building and industrial warehouse in Carrollton,
Texas. The note bore interest at 16.0% per annum, required monthly payments of
interest only and matured in May 2002. In July 2002, the note was paid off,
including accrued but unpaid interest.

   In October 2001, TCI funded a $4.0 million loan secured by a 375,152 sq.ft.
office building in St. Louis, Missouri. The note receivable bore interest at
9.0% per annum, required monthly interest only payments of $30,000 and matured
in February 2002. In February 2002, TCI extended the loan maturity to February
2003. In August 2002, the note was paid off including accrued but unpaid
interest.

   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 Centre 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.

   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 first lien 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. As of March 2003,
TCI has funded $264,000 of the additional line of credit.

   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 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 Centre 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.

   Also in April 2002, a mortgage loan with a principal balance of $155,000 was
paid off, including accrued but unpaid interest.

   In July 2002, the Woodsong Apartments were sold. ARI received $2.6 million
from the proceeds as payment of principal and accrued but unpaid interest on
the note receivable. The funds were received by ARI and the affiliate
receivable balance was increased.

                                      17



   In July 2002, TCI entered into an agreement to fund up to $300,000 under a
revolving line of credit secured by 100% interest in a partnership of the
borrower. The line of credit bears interest at 12.0% per annum, requires
monthly interest only payments and matures in June 2005. As of March 2003, TCI
has funded $175,000 of the line of credit.

   In September 2002, TCI sold a 36 acre tract of the Palm Desert land parcel
for $3.6 million and provided $2.7 million as seller financing in the form of a
first lien mortgage note. The note bears interest at 8.0% per annum, requires
quarterly interest only payments of $54,000 and matures in September 2004. In
March 2003, the note was sold to a financial institution for $2.6 million.

   Partnership mortgage loans.  TCI owns a 60% general partner interest and
IORI owns a 40% general partner interest in Nakash Income Associates ("NIA"),
which owns a wraparound mortgage note receivable secured by a building occupied
by a Wal-Mart in Maulden, Missouri.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Olive Litigation

   In February 1990, TCI, together with National Income Realty Trust, CMET and
IORI three real estate entities which, at the time, had 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. (the "Olive Litigation"), 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 "First Amendment"). The First
Amendment provided for the settlement of additional matters raised by
plaintiffs' counsel in 1996. The Court issued an order approving the First
Amendment on July 3, 1997.

   The First 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 First Amendment. In January 2000, the Board engaged another management
compensation consultant to perform the required evaluation again. The
evaluation was completed in April 2000 and was provided to plaintiffs' counsel.
The Board believes that any alleged breach of the First Amendment has been
fully remedied by the Board's engagement of this second consultant. Although
several status conferences on this matter were held, there has been no court
order resolving whether there was any breach of the First Amendment.

   In June 2000, plaintiffs' counsel asserted that loans made by TCI to BCM and
American Realty Trust, Inc. breached the provision of the Modification. The
Board believes that the provisions of the Settlement, Modification and the
First 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, Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("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

                                      18



settlement (the "Second Amendment"). Under the Second Amendment, the appeal has
been dismissed with prejudice and ARI agreed to either (i) 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 or (ii) make a tender offer for all of
the outstanding common shares of IORI and TCI not currently owned by ARI. Under
the merger, ARI would 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 affirmatively 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 affirmatively elect to receive
ARI preferred stock in lieu of cash. Each share of Series G Preferred Stock
would 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 was 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. Two of the directors
of TCI and IORI also serve as directors for ARI.

   On November 15, 2002, ARI commenced, through subsidiaries, a tender offer
for shares of common stock of TCI and IORI. The price per share was $17.50 for
TCI shares and $19.00 for IORI shares. The tender offers were made to cure a
default under the settlement resulting from ARI's failure to timely complete
the SEC review process of the registration statement for the proposed mergers
with TCI and IORI. The tender offers were completed on March 19, 2003. ARI
acquired 265,036 IORI shares and 1,213,226 TCI shares. The completion of the
tender offer fulfills the obligations under the Second Amendment and the Olive
Litigation has been dismissed with prejudice. ARI has deferred further action
on the mergers.

   As of March 19, 2003, the closing price of TCI's Common Stock as reported in
the consolidated reporting system of the NYSE was $17.55 per share.

   As of March 19, 2003, TCI's Common Stock was held by 5,234 holders of record.

   TCI paid no dividends in 2002 or 2001, and management believes no dividends
will be paid in 2003. In December 2000, the Board of Directors determined not
to pay a fourth quarter dividend to holders of TCI's Common Stock. The
non-payment decision was based on the Board determining that TCI needed to
retain cash for acquisitions that were anticipated in 2001 and 2002.

   In December 1989, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase
program, authorizing the repurchase of a total of 687,000 shares of TCI's
Common Stock. In October 2000, the Board increased this authorization to
1,409,000 shares. Through December 31, 2001, a total of 409,765 shares had been
repurchased at a cost of $3.3 million. No shares were repurchased in 2001. In
September 2001, the Board approved a private block purchase of 593,200 shares
of Common Stock for a total cost of $9.5 million.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

   TCI invests in real estate through acquisitions, leases and partnerships and
in mortgage loans on real estate, including first, wraparound and junior
mortgage loans. TCI is the successor to a California business trust organized
on September 6, 1983, which commenced operations on January 31, 1984. On
November 30, 1999, TCI acquired all of the outstanding shares of beneficial
interest of CMET, a real estate company, in a tax-free exchange of shares,
issuing 1.181 shares of its Common Stock for each outstanding CMET share. TCI
accounted for the merger as a purchase.

   Prior to January 1, 2000, TCI elected to be treated as a Real Estate
Investment Trust ("REIT") under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). During the third quarter of
2000, TCI no longer met the requirement for tax treatment as a REIT due to a
concentration of ownership.

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 and third quarter of 2002, TCI recognized $1.9
million and $700,000 as impairment losses.

   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 were $10.6 million, $10.3 million and $22.3
million at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The principal
reasons for the change in cash are discussed in the paragraphs below.

   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, borrowings and to a lesser extent, distributions from
partnerships. Management anticipates that TCI's cash at December 31, 2002,
along with cash that will be generated in 2003 from property operations, will
not be sufficient to meet all of TCI's cash requirements. Management intends to
selectively sell income producing real estate, refinance or extend real estate
debt and seek additional borrowings against real estate to meet its cash
requirements. Historically, management has been successful at extending its
current maturity obligations.

   Net cash used in operations was $9.1 million in 2002, $895,000 in 2001 and
$1.1 million in 2000. The primary factors contributing to TCI's use of cash in
its operations are discussed in the following paragraphs.

   Cash flow from property operations (rents collected less payments for
property operating expenses) was $43.9 million in 2002, $56.0 million in 2001,
and $56.6 million in 2000. Of the decrease in property cash flow from 2001 to
2002, $4.3 million and $6.3 million was due to the sale of 16 commercial
properties and 24 apartments, respectively in 2002 and 2001, $628,000, $646,000
and $821,000 was due to the lower occupancies at TCI's commercial, apartment
and hotel properties, respectively, $125,000 was due to increases in property
taxes at TCI's land properties, $453,000 was due to the purchase of 13 land
parcels in 2002 and 2001, and $275,000 was due to the completion of the hotel
in Poland. These decreases were offset by increases of $1.3 million, and $1.5
million from the purchase of two commercial properties and five apartments,
respectively in 2002 and 2001. In 2001, decreases in cash flow of $8.6 million
were due to the sale of 29 apartments in 2001 and 2000, and $2.7 million was
due to the sale of eight commercial properties and one industrial warehouse in
the Kelly portfolio in 2001 and 2000. These decreases were offset by increases
in cash flow from property operations of which $900,000 and $2.7 million were
from the purchase of 10 existing apartments and seven commercial properties in
2001 and 2000, and $2.5 million and $4.5 million were due to increases in rents
at TCI's apartments and commercial properties, respectively. Management
believes that this trend of decreased cash flow from property operations will
continue as a result of TCI's selling of income producing properties to meet
its cash requirements.

                                      23



   Interest collected was $3.2 million in 2002, $1.6 million in 2001, and $1.0
million in 2000. These increases were due to TCI funding seven loans in 2002,
eight loans in 2001 and two loans in the fourth quarter in 2000. Interest
collected is expected to decrease in 2003 due to the payoff of seven loans in
2002.

   Interest paid was $41.4 million in 2002, $39.5 million in 2001 and $45.1
million in 2000. Of the increase in interest paid from 2001 to 2002, $1.4
million, $51,000 and $1.3 million was due to the refinancing of 12 land
parcels, 3 commercial and 17 apartment properties, respectively in 2002 and
2001, $631,000, $3.6 million, $2.7 million was due to the purchase of 13 land
parcels, 2 commercial properties and 5 apartments, respectively in 2002 and
2001, and $259,000 was due to default interest payments at TCI's Chicago
hotels. These increases were offset by decreases of $2.2 million and $4.3
million due to the sale of 16 commercial properties and 24 apartments,
respectively in 2002 and 2001, and $212,000, $1.1 million and $229,000 was due
to principal paydowns and lower variable interest rates at TCI's land,
commercial and apartment properties, respectively. In 2001, decreases of $6.8
million was due to the sale of 40 properties subject to debt in 2001 and 2000,
$1.3 million was due to lower variable interest rates, and $1.5 million was due
to principal paydowns. These decreases were offset by increases of $3.8 million
due to the purchase of 18 properties subject to debt in 2001 and 2000 and
$200,000 was due to the refinancing of 14 properties in 2001 and 2000. Interest
paid will continue to decrease as TCI sells properties subject to debt.

   Advisory and net income fees paid to affiliate was $4.5 million in 2002,
$7.9 million in 2001 and $10.5 million in 2000. The decreases were due to a
decrease in net income. Advisory and net income fees are expected to decrease
as additional properties are sold.

   TCI paid incentive fees of $2.9 million to an affiliate in 2001. No such fee
was paid in 2002 or 2000. See ITEM 10. "DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND
ADVISOR OF THE REGISTRANT."

   General and administrative expenses paid were $8.9 million in 2002, $10.9
million in 2001 and $7.9 million in 2000. The decrease in 2002 was due to
decreases in consulting fees, taxes and cost reimbursements. Increases in 2001
of $1.8 million, $615,000, $249,000, and $219,000 were due to increases in
consulting fees, legal fees, taxes, and insurance, respectively.

   Distributions were received from equity investees operating cash flow of
$646,000 in 2001 and $172,000 in 2000. See NOTE 5. "INVESTMENT IN EQUITY METHOD
REAL ESTATE ENTITIES."

   Management expects that funds from existing cash resources, selective sales
of income producing properties, refinancing of real estate, and additional
borrowings against real estate will be sufficient to meet TCI's cash
requirements associated with its current and anticipated level of operations,
maturing debt obligations and existing commitments. To the extent that TCI's
liquidity permits or financing sources are available, management intends to
make new real estate investments.

   In 2002, TCI received cash of $12.3 million from the collection of seven
mortgage notes receivable, $3.8 million in mortgage receivable principal
payments and paydowns, net cash of $176.1 million from new mortgage borrowings
and refinancings and an additional $106.1 million from property sales. In 2002,
$12.7 million was expended on property purchases, $104.2 million in cash was
expended on construction projects, of which $97.4 million was funded by
additional borrowings, $7.0 million was expended on capital improvements, and a
total of $95.7 million in principal payments were made on mortgage debt.

   Also in 2002, TCI made net cash advances to affiliates and related parties
of $46.0 million. In repayment of these advances, TCI received $14.5 million in
notes receivable, real estate valued at $93.9 million with corresponding debt
of $62.2 million assumed at a weighted average interest rate of 12.7% and TCI
was credited with $5.3 million against construction supervision and other fees
owed by TCI for TCI's apartments under construction. The remaining net cash
funding is still due and payable.

                                      24



   In 2001, TCI received cash of $3.7 million from the collection of two
mortgage notes receivable, $2.3 million in mortgage receivable principal
payments, net cash of $29.1 million from new mortgage borrowings and
refinancings and an additional $100.8 million from property sales. In 2001,
$19.7 million in cash was expended on property purchases, $24.5 million in cash
was expended on construction projects, $9.1 million was expended on capital
improvements, and a total of $66.1 million in principal payments were made on
mortgage debt.

   In 2000, TCI received cash of $20.4 million from the collection of four
mortgage notes receivable, $131,000 in mortgage receivable principal payments,
net cash of $63.0 million from new mortgage borrowings and refinancings and an
additional $80.0 million from property sales. In 2000, $32.5 million in cash
was expended on property purchases and a total of $107.5 million in principal
payments on mortgage debt.

   TCI paid dividends to its Common stockholders totaling $4.7 million or $.54
per share in 2000.

   In 2001, TCI repurchased 593,200 shares of Common Stock in a private block
purchase for a total cost of $9.5 million.

   Scheduled principal payments on notes payable of $209.3 million are due in
2003. For those mortgages that mature in 2003, management intends to either
seek to extend the due dates one or more years, or refinance the debt on a
long-term basis. Management also intends to sell income producing properties to
retire mortgage debt as it becomes due. Management believes it will continue to
be successful in obtaining loan extensions or refinancings.

   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 note receivable review includes an evaluation of
the collateral property securing such 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 income of $4.9 million in 2002, including gains on sale of real
estate totaling $43.9 million, $19.8 million in 2001, including gains on sale
of real estate totaling $48.9 million, and $29.8 million in 2000, including
gains on sale of real estate totaling $50.6 million. Fluctuations in the
components of revenues and expense between 2002, 2001 and 2000 are discussed
below.

   Rents were $109.7 million in 2002, $115.4 million in 2001, and $133.2
million in 2000. Of the decrease in rents from 2001 to 2002, $3.9 million and
$10.8 million was due to the sale of six commercial properties and
15 apartments, respectively in 2001, $608,000 and $1.5 million was due to lower
occupancies at TCI's apartments and hotels, respectively. These decreases were
offset by increases of $3.0 million, and $5.4 million from the purchase of two
commercial properties and five apartments, respectively in 2002 and 2001, $1.9
million and $1.0 million was due to the completion of four apartments and one
hotel, respectively in 2002, and $623,000 was due to increased rents at TCI's
commercial properties. Of the decrease in rents from 2000 to 2001, $3.2 million
and $20.4 million was due to the sale of eight commercial properties and 29
apartments, respectively in 2001 and 2000. These decreases were offset by
increases of $2.4 million from the purchase of 17 apartments in 2001 and 2000,
and $1.9 million was due to increased rents and occupancies at TCI's
apartments. In 2000, TCI leased its four U.S. hotels to Regis Hotel
Corporation, an affiliate to BCM, at an annual base rent totaling

                                      25



$503,477 per year plus 30% of the hotel's gross revenues. Beginning January 1,
2001, TCI no longer leased the hotels and recognized revenues based on the
operations of the hotels. From this change, rents increased at TCI's hotels by
$4.4 million. Rents are expected to decrease in 2003 as TCI selectively sells
income producing properties in 2003.

   Property operations expenses were $71.0 million in 2002, $68.5 million in
2001, and $74.6 million in 2000. Of the increase in property operations from
2001 to 2002, $435,000, $1.7 million and $3.9 million was due to the purchase
of 13 land parcels, two commercial properties and five apartments, respectively
in 2002 and 2001, $1.9 million and $1.3 million was due to the completion of
four apartments and one hotel, respectively in 2002, and $1.1 million and $1.8
million was due to increases in operating expenses at TCI's commercial
properties and apartments, respectively in 2002 and 2001. These increases were
offset by decreases of $1.9 million and $6.9 million due to the sale of six
commercial properties and 15 apartments, respectively in 2001, and $455,000 was
due to the lower operating expenses at TCI's hotels. Of the decrease in
property operations from 2000 to 2001, $7.6 million due to the sale of 29
apartments in 2001 and 2000. Property operating expenses are expected to
increase as TCI continues to construct apartments in 2003.

   Interest and other income was $4.1 million in 2002, $2.9 million in 2001,
and $2.4 million in 2000. The increase in 2002 was due to TCI funding seven
loans in 2002. The increase in 2001 was primarily due to TCI funding two loans
in the fourth quarter of 2000 and eight loans in 2001. Interest income in 2003
is expected to decrease due to the payoff of seven of TCI's loans in 2002.

   Prior to the first quarter of 2001, TCI accounted for its investment in ARI,
an affiliate, as an available for sale marketable security. In the first
quarter of 2001, TCI began accounting for its investment in ARI using the
equity method. Equity losses of investees was $3.8 million in 2002, $6.0
million in 2001, and $556,000 in 2000. The losses from equity investees are
primarily attributed to increased operating losses for IORI and ARI. Equity
losses are expected to increase with decreases in operating income from ARI and
IORI as ARI and IORI continue to sell income producing properties.

   Interest expense was $38.9 million in 2002, $36.8 million in 2001, and $46.5
million in 2000. Of the increase in interest expense from 2001 to 2002,
$838,000, $4.0 million, $2.5 million and $550,000 was due to the purchase of
six land parcels, two commercial properties, five apartments and one hotel,
respectively subject to debt in 2002 and 2001, $713,000, $56,000 and $1.5
million was due to the financing and refinancing of four land parcels held for
investment, three commercial properties and 17 apartments, respectively in
2002, $374,000 was due to an increase in the interest rate at TCI's Chicago
hotels from TCI's default in a debt covenant, and $510,000 was due to an
interest swap agreement TCI entered into in 2002. These increases were offset
by decreases of $1.8 million and $3.3 million due to the sale of six commercial
properties and 15 apartments, respectively in 2001, and $121,000, $1.9 million
and $271,000 was due to the principal paydowns and lower variable rates at
TCI's land, commercial and apartment properties, respectively. Of the decrease
in interest from 2000 to 2001, $6.0 million was due to the sale of 29
apartments in 2001 and 2000, $1.4 million was due to the sale of eight
commercial properties and one industrial warehouse in the Kelly portfolio in
2001 and 2000, and $289,000 was due to land loan payoffs and principal paydowns
in 2001 and 2000. Of the remaining decrease, $263,000 was due to lower variable
interest rates at TCI's apartments, $1.3 million was due to lower variable
interest rates at TCI's commercial properties and $278,000 was due to lower
variable interest rates at TCI's hotels. Interest expense is expected to
increase or remain constant as TCI completes construction projects and
increases its debt by refinancings.

   Depreciation expense was $19.0 million in 2002, and $17.1 million in 2001,
and $18.9 million 2000. Of the increase in depreciation expense from 2001 to
2002, $528,000 and $687,000 was due to the purchase of two commercial
properties and five apartments, respectively in 2002 and 2001, $255,000 and
$187,000 was due to the completion of four apartments and one hotel in 2002,
and $1.8 million was due to tenant and building improvements at TCI's
commercial properties. These increases were offset by decreases of $673,000 and
$907,000 due to the sale of six commercial properties and 15 apartments,
respectively in 2001. The decrease in depreciation expense from 2000 to 2001 is
primarily due to the sale of 29 apartments in 2001. Depreciation expense is
expected to increase or remain constant as TCI completes construction projects
during 2003.

                                      26



   Provision for asset impairment was $2.6 million in 2002. TCI recorded asset
impairments of $2.6 million, representing the write down of certain operating
properties to current estimated fair value. These assets include the following
properties:

   The Red Cross land was under contract to sell and the sales price was used
as fair value. The fair value determined for four apartments above were agreed
upon purchase prices as part of the refinancing transaction with Metra Capital,
LLC. The costs to sell were actual fees paid to refinance the properties. TCI
is in current negotiations to refinance the Plantation Apartments. Lenders will
refinance the property at between 80% and 90% of the value of the property.
Currently, the loans are in the range of $2.0 million and $2.4 million.

   Advisory fee expense was $4.5 million in 2002, and $5.3 million in 2001 and
2000. The decrease in 2002, was due to a $1.4 million operating expense refund
from BCM. See NOTE 11. "ADVISORY AGREEMENT." This decrease was offset by an
increase in advisor fees due to a 20% increase in gross assets, the basis of
the fee. Advisory fees are expected to decrease as TCI sells properties.

   Net income fee to affiliate was $374,000 in 2002, $1.9 million in 2001, and
$2.4 million in 2000. The net income fee is payable to TCI's advisor based on
7.5% of TCI's net income.

   Incentive fee to affiliate was $3.2 million in 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. No incentive fee was paid in
2000 or 2002.

   Realized losses on investments of $3.1 million were recognized in 2001. TCI
recognized a previously unrealized loss on ARI's marketable equity securities
of $3.1 million in 2001.

   General and administrative expenses were $8.8 million in 2002, $11.5 million
in 2001, and $8.5 million in 2000. The decrease in 2002, was due to decreases
in consulting fees, taxes and cost reimbursements to the advisor. In 2001,
increases of $1.8 million, $615,000, $249,000, and $219,000 were due to
increases in consulting fees, legal fees, taxes, and insurance, respectively.
General and administrative expenses are expected to remain constant or decrease
from decreased litigation and consulting fees.

                                      27



   Income from discontinued operations was $41.7 million in 2002, $703,000 in
2001, and $ 447,000 in 2000. Income from discontinued operations relates to 18
properties that TCI sold during 2002, and one parcel of land designated as held
for sale. The following table summarizes revenue and expense information for
these properties sold and held-for-sale.

   Discontinued operations have not been segregated in the consolidated
statements of cash flows. Therefore, amounts for certain captions will not
agree with respective consolidated statements of operations.

   In 2002, 2001 and 2000, gains on sale of real estate totaling $43.9 million,
$48.9 million and $50.6 million were recognized. See NOTE 2. "REAL ESTATE."

Related Party Transactions

   Historically, TCI, ARI, BCM and IORI have each engaged in and may continue
to engage in business transactions, including real estate partnerships, with
related parties. Management believes that all of the related party transactions
represented the best investments available at the time and were at least as
advantageous to TCI as could have been obtained from unrelated parties.

Operating Relationships

   TCI received rents of $88,000 in 2002, $120,000 in 2001 and $70,000 in 2000
from BCM for BCM's lease at Addison Hanger. BCM owns a corporate jet that is
housed at the hanger and TCI has available space at the hanger.

Property Transactions

   In January 2002, TCI purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of ART
Two Hickory Corporation from ARI, for $4.4 million. See NOTE 3. "NOTES AND
INTEREST RECEIVABLE." The purchase price was determined based upon the market
value of the property exchanged, using a market rate multiple of net operating
income ("cap rate") of 7.0%. The business purpose of the transaction was for
TCI to make an equity investment in Two Hickory anticipating a profitable
return.

                                      28



   In February 2002, TCI sold a $2.0 million senior participation interest in a
loan to IORI. See NOTE 3. "NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE." Management
determined that TCI could benefit from the increase in cash and decrease its
notes receivable outstanding portfolio.

   In March 2002, TCI paid cash of $600,000 and received from ARI two parcels
of land, a 24.5 acre tract of Rasor land, a 16.89 acre tract of Lakeshore
Villas land, and the 45,623 sq. ft. Oaktree Village Shopping Center in exchange
for the 80,278 sq. ft. Plaza on Bachman Creek Shopping Center. The exchange
value prices for the shopping centers were determined based on a cap rate of
10.5% and the value for the Rasor and Lakeshore Villas land was determined on
appraised rates of $3.36 and $1.29, respectively, per square foot. The business
purpose of the transaction was for TCI to construct apartments on the Rasor and
Lakeshore Villas land and to give ample value for the property TCI exchanged,
the Oaktree Shopping Center was added to the transaction.

   In April 2002, TCI purchased 100% of the following entities from ARI: Garden
Confederate Point, L.P., Garden Foxwood, L.P., Garden Woodsong, L.P. and ART
One Hickory Corporation for $10.0 million. See NOTE 3. "NOTES AND INTEREST
RECEIVABLE." The purchase price for these entities was determined based on a
cap rate of 8.41% for the partnerships and 7.0% for ART One Hickory
Corporation. The business purpose of the transaction was for TCI to make an
equity investment in the entities anticipating a profitable return.

   In June 2002, TCI purchased Centura Tower, Ltd. partnership, which owns the
Centura Tower Office Building from ARI for $50.0 million. See NOTE 2. "REAL
ESTATE." The purchase price for the Centura Tower was determined based on
appraised value and replacement cost. The business purpose of the transaction
was for TCI to acquire a Class A office building with significant upside
potential anticipating a profitable return.

   Also in June 2002, TCI purchased five parcels of unimproved land from ARI:
the Hollywood Casino, Marine Creek, Mason Park, Nashville and Palm Desert land
parcels. See NOTE 2. "REAL ESTATE." The purchase price of the Hollywood Casino
land was determined based on an appraised rate of $9.10 per square foot. The
business purpose of the transaction was for TCI to consolidate its holdings
within the Mercer Crossing development. The purchase price for the Marine
Creek, Mason Park, Nashville and Palm Desert land parcels was determined based
on appraised rates of $2.00, $3.56, $4.00 and $1.48 per square foot,
respectively. The business purpose of the transaction was for TCI to develop
apartments on these four tracts of land.

   In December 2002, TCI purchased NLP/CH, Ltd. partnership, which owns the
Centura land parcel from ARI. See NOTE 2. "REAL ESTATE." The purchase price was
determined based on an appraised rate of $34.89 per square foot. The business
purpose of the transaction was for TCI to construct apartments on the land
adjacent to its Centura Tower office building.

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.

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

                                      29



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, the cost of new financings
as well as the cost of variable interest rate debt will be affected.

Tax Matters

   For the year 1999, TCI elected and in the opinion of management, qualified
to be taxed as a REIT as defined under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. During the third quarter of 2000, due to a
concentration in ownership, TCI no longer met the requirements for tax
treatment as a REIT under the Code. Under the Code, TCI is prohibited from
re-qualifying for REIT tax status for at least five years.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES REGARDING MARKET RISK

   TCI's future operations, cash flow and fair values of financial instruments
are partially dependent upon the then existing market interest rates and market
equity prices. Market risk is the changes in the market rates and prices, and
the effect of the changes on future operations. Market risk is managed by
matching a property's anticipated net operating income to an appropriate
financing.

   TCI is exposed to interest rate risk associated with variable rate notes
payable and maturing debt that has to be refinanced. TCI does not hold
financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, but rather
issues these financial instruments to finance its portfolio of real estate
assets. TCI's interest rate sensitivity position is managed by TCI's finance
department. Interest rate sensitivity is 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 impact its cost of variable rate debt and maturing fixed rate debt. A
large portion of TCI's market risk is exposure to short-term interest rates
from variable rate borrowings. The impact on TCI's financial statements of
refinancing fixed debt that matured during 2002 was not material. As permitted,
management intends to convert a significant portion of those borrowings from
variable rates to fixed rates in 2003. If market interest rates for variable
rate debt average 100 basis points more in 2003 than they did during 2002,
TCI's interest expense would increase, and income would decrease by $1.2
million. This amount is determined by considering the impact of hypothetical
interest rates on TCI's borrowing cost. This analysis did not consider the
effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in
such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude,
management would likely take actions to further mitigate its exposure 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 change in
TCI's financial structure.

   The following table contains only those exposures that existed at December
31, 2002. Anticipation of exposures or risk on positions that could possibly
arise was not considered. TCI's ultimate interest rate risk and its effect on
operations will depend on future capital market exposures, which cannot be
anticipated with a probable assurance level. Dollars in thousands.

              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors of
Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc.

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31,
2002 and 2001 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2002. We have also audited the schedules listed in the
accompanying index. These financial statements and schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements and schedules are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements and schedules. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements and schedules. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

   As described in Note 21, Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc.'s
management has indicated its intent to both sell income producing properties
and refinance or extend debt secured by real estate, to meet its liquidity
needs.

   In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31,
2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.

   Also, in our opinion, the schedules referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.

   As discussed in Note 18, in 2002 the Company changed its method of
accounting for discontinued operations.

                    TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Transcontinental
Realty Investors, Inc. and consolidated entities have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, the most significant of which are described in NOTE 1. "SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES." The Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements are an integral part of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The
data presented in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are as of
December 31 of each year and for the year then ended, unless otherwise
indicated. Dollar amounts in tables are in thousands, except per share amounts.

   Certain balances for 2001 and 2000 have been reclassified to conform to the
2002 presentation.

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Organization and business.  Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. ("TCI"),
a Nevada corporation, is successor to a California business trust which was
organized on September 6, 1983, and commenced operations on January 31, 1984.
TCI invests in real estate through direct ownership, leases and partnerships
and it also invests in mortgage loans on real estate. In October 2001, TCI
announced a preliminary agreement for the acquisition of TCI by American Realty
Investors, Inc. ("ARI"). See NOTE 18. "COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND
LIQUIDITY."

   Basis of consolidation.  The Consolidated Financial Statements include the
accounts of TCI and controlled subsidiaries and partnerships. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

   Accounting estimates.  In the preparation of Consolidated Financial
Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America it is necessary for 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 Consolidated
Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expense for the
year then ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Interest recognition on notes receivable.  It is TCI's policy to cease
recognizing interest income on notes receivable that have been delinquent for
60 days or more. In addition, accrued but unpaid interest income is only
recognized to the extent that the net realizable value of the underlying
collateral exceeds the carrying value of the receivable.

   Allowance for estimated losses.  Valuation allowances are provided for
estimated losses on notes receivable considered to be impaired. Impairment is
considered to exist when it is probable that all amounts due under the terms of
the note will not be collected. Valuation allowances are provided for estimated
losses on notes receivable to the extent that the Company's investment in the
note exceeds the estimated fair value of the collateral securing such note.

   Recent Accounting pronouncements.  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.


                                      39



                    TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(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") Issued 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 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 established 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.

   In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain
Financial Institutions--an amendment to FASB No. 72 and 144 and FASB
Interpretation No. 9." SFAS No. 147 provides guidance to companies in reporting
and disclosing the purchase of certain financial institutions. Management
currently believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 147 will not have a material
impact on the financial statements.

   In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB No. 123." SFAS
No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for an entity that
voluntarily changes to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123
to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an
entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee
compensation. Finally, this statements amends APB Opinion No. 28, "Interim
Financial Reporting," to require disclosure about those effects in interim
financial information. Management currently believes that the adoption of SFAS
No. 148 will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

   In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," which disclosures are effective for
financial statements issued after December 15, 2002. While the Company has
various guarantees included in contracts in the normal course of business,
these guarantees would not represent significant commitments or contingent
liabilities of the indebtedness of entities outside of the consolidated company.

   In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"), which requires the consolidation of
variable interest entities, as defined. FIN 46 is applicable to financial
statements to be issued by the Company after 2003; however, disclosures are
required currently if TCI expects to consolidate any variable interest
entities. TCI does not currently believe that any entities will be consolidated
as a result of FIN 46.

   Real estate held for investment and depreciation.  Real estate held for
investment is carried at cost. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
144 ("SFAS No. 144") requires that a property be considered impaired, if the
sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest
charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property. If impairment
exists, an impairment loss is recognized, by a charge against earnings, equal
to the amount by which the carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair
value of the property. If impairment of a property is recognized, the carrying
amount of the property is reduced by the amount of the impairment, and a new
cost for the property is established. Such new cost is depreciated over the
property's remaining useful life. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line
method over estimated useful lives, which range from five to 40 years.

   Real estate held for sale.  Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at
new cost, defined as the lower of original cost or fair value minus estimated
costs of sale. SFAS No. 144 also requires that properties held for sale

                                      40



                    TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs of sale.
If a reduction in a held for sale property's carrying amount to fair value less
costs of sale is required, a provision for loss is recognized by a charge
against earnings. Subsequent revisions, either upward or downward, to a held
for sale property's estimated fair value less costs of sale is recorded as an
adjustment to the property's carrying amount, but not in excess of the
property's carrying amount when originally classified as held for sale. A
corresponding charge against or credit to earnings is recognized. Properties
held for sale are not depreciated.

   Revenue recognition on the sale of real estate.  Sales of real estate are
recognized when and to the extent permitted by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate" ("SFAS No.
66"). Until the requirements of SFAS No. 66 for full profit recognition have
been met, transactions are accounted for using either the deposit, the
installment, the cost recovery or the financing method, whichever is
appropriate.

   Investment in noncontrolled equity investees.  The equity method is used to
account for investments in partnerships which TCI does not control but for
which significant influence can be exerted, and for its investment in the
shares of common stock of Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc., ("IORI")
and ARI. Under the equity method, an initial investment, recorded at cost, is
increased by a proportionate share of the investee's operating income and any
additional advances and decreased by a proportionate share of the investee's
operating losses and distributions received.

   Operating segments.  Management has determined reportable operating segments
to be those that are used for internal reporting purposes, which disaggregates
operations by type of real estate.

   Fair value of financial instruments.  The following assumptions were used in
estimating the fair value of notes receivable and notes payable. For performing
notes receivable, the fair value was estimated by discounting future cash flows
using current interest rates for similar loans. For nonperforming notes
receivable, the estimated fair value of TCI's interest in the collateral
property was used. For notes payable, the fair value was estimated using
current rates for mortgages with similar terms and maturities.

   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 considered to be cash equivalents.

   Earnings per share.  Income per share is presented in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."
Income per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding during each year. Diluted net income per share is
computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common
equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Dilutive common equivalent
shares consist of stock options and convertible preferred stock. The weighted
average common shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share for the
years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 include 301,548 and 25,000 shares,
respectively, to reflect the dilutive effect of options and convertible
preferred stock to purchase shares of common stock. For the year ended December
31, 2002, 223,784 weighted average shares were excluded from the calculation of
dilutive earnings per share because the effect of their inclusion would be
antidilutive.

   Stock-based employee compensation.  TCI accounts for stock-based
compensation utilizing the intrinsic value method in accordance with the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"),
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations.
Accordingly, no compensation expense is recognized for fixed option plans
because the exercise prices of employee stock options equal or exceed the
market prices of the underlying stock on the dates of grant.

   Related Party.  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 Centre 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.

   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 Centre 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. ARI received $2.8 million
from the proceeds as payment of principal and accrued but unpaid interest on
the note receivable. The $2.6 million received by ARI is included in other
assets on the accompanying balance sheet.

   In December 2001, TCI purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of
National Melrose, Inc. ("NM"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARI, a related
party, for $2.0 million cash. NM owns the 41,840 sq. ft. Executive Court Office
Building in Memphis, Tennessee. ARI has guaranteed that the asset will 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 will pay TCI any shortfall. In addition, if the asset fails to produce 12%
return for a calendar year, TCI may require ARI to repurchase the shares of NM
for the purchase price. Management has classified this related party
transaction as a note receivable from ARI.

   TCI owns an approximate 6.5% interest in ARI, a publicly held real estate
company, having a market value of $92.0 million at December 31, 2001. At
December 31, 2002, ARI had total assets of $709.3 million and owned 35
apartments, 14 commercial properties, nine hotels and 41 parcels of unimproved
land. In 2002, ARI sold 18 apartments, five commercial properties and 13
parcels of unimproved land for a total of $287.4 million, receiving net cash of
$22.2 million after paying off $155.0 million in mortgage debt and the payment
of various closing costs. ARI recognized gains of $50.5 million on the sales of
which TCI's equity share was $3.3 million. In 2001, ARI sold 17 apartments, one
commercial property and 26 parcels of unimproved land for a total of
$187.3 million, receiving net cash of $52.4 million after paying off $110.2
million in mortgage debt and the payment of various closing costs. ARI
recognized gains of $83.4 million on the sales of which TCI's equity share was
$5.3 million.

   Based on the ownership percentage of TCI's investment in ARI and ARI's
market value, TCI's investment in ARI has a market value of approximately $6.0
million at December 31, 2002. The carrying value of this investment is
approximately $9.5 million at December 31, 2002. Management continues to
believe that the market value of ARI temporarily undervalues its assets and
therefore, no impairment of TCI's investment in ARI has been recorded.

   TCI owns an approximate 24.0% interest in IORI, a publicly held real estate
investment company. At December 31, 2002, IORI had total assets of $90.2
million and owned seven apartments in Texas, five office buildings (two in
California, two in Texas and one in Virginia) and two parcels of unimproved
land in Texas. In 2002, IORI sold two office buildings for a total of $19.2
million, receiving net cash of $8.6 million after paying off $9.3 million in
mortgage debt and the payment of various closing costs. IORI recognized gains
of $6.8 million on the sales of which TCI's equity share was $1.6 million.

   Prior to the first quarter of 2002, TCI accounted for its investments in
Tri-City, Nakash and Jor-Trans on the equity method. TCI was a 63.7% limited
partner and IORI was 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 55%
limited and general partnership interest in Jor-Trans. TCI makes all
partnership operating and policy decisions of the partnerships and TCI has the
right to approve the sale or refinancing of principal assets, or approve the
acquisition of partnership assets. For Tri-City, IORI as general partner only
had protective rights in the partnership. TCI and IORI have the same Board of
Directors and the same executive officers. Consequently, because TCI has a
greater than 50% ownership over the operations of Tri- 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.

   TCI is a non-controlling 30% general partner in SAC 9, which at December 31,
2002 owned an office building in Rancho Cordova, California.

   In March 2001, in conjunction with the sale of the 211 unit Park at Colonade
Apartments in San Antonio, Texas, TCI received a 23% limited partner interest
in the acquiring partnership. TCI is to receive payments of $5,000 monthly from
the partnership, a $50,000 distribution in June 2001 which was received and its
remaining investment in March 2002. In July 2001, TCI assigned its limited
partnership interest to the general partner, receiving a discounted payoff of
$490,000. In conjunction with this assignment, TCI recognized a previously
deferred gain on the sale of the apartments of $540,000.

    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.

NOTE 7.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   Throughout the period in which TCI qualified as a REIT for tax purposes, TCI
charged rent to Regis Hotel Corporation, a related party, for TCI's four hotel
properties that were managed by Regis Hotel Corporation. As of December 31,
2000, when TCI no longer qualified as a REIT, the receivable from these rents
totaled $2.1 million. During 2001 and 2002, this receivable was reduced by
management fees earned by Regis Hotel Corporation. As of December 31, 2002 and
2001, the receivable from Regis Hotel Corporation was $1.7 million and $1.9
million, respectively.

   During 2002, TCI received $4.0 million in cash from IORI, and has repaid
$80,000 to IORI prior to year end.

   In February 2002, IORI funded a $2.0 million mortgage loan as a
participation agreement with TCI. This note was paid in full during 2002. Of
the principal repayments on this note, $1.5 million was deposited in the
account of TCI. This amount is included in the affiliate payable balance at
December 31, 2002. This transaction is more fully described in Note 3.

   In March 2002, TCI sold the Plaza on Bachman Creek shopping center to ARI in
exchange for a shopping center and two parcels of land. This transaction was
approved by TCI's Board of Directors. See Note 2.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


   In April 2002, TCI purchased four wholly-owned subsidiaries of ARI,
including Garden Woodsong, L.P. ("Woodsong"). This transaction, which is more
fully described in Note 3, was treated as a financing, and TCI recorded a $10.0
million note receivable from ARI. $2.5 million of this note was related to
Woodsong, which was subsequently sold in July 2002. The affiliate receivable
balance from ARI increased by $2.8 million, representing principal and accrued
but unpaid interest on the note receivable.

   During 2002, ARI sold properties with fair value totaling $46.2 million to
TCI. Each of these property sales was approved by TCI's Board of Directors.
TCI's affiliate receivables from ARI and BCM were reduced by $5.0 million and
$41.2 million, respectively, as a result of these transfers. For property
transfers treated as financings, TCI has recorded notes receivable for the fair
values of the properties transferred as an offset to the reductions in the
affiliate receivables.

   In January 2003, TCI's Board of Directors approved the payment to BCM of a
six percent (6%) construction management fee on all construction projects in
process at December 31, 2002, to be applied to all construction costs incurred
during 2002 on each project. The resulting calculation of $4.6 million was
treated as a reduction in the affiliate receivable balance from BCM.

   During 2002, TCI's Board of Directors authorized the Chief Financial Officer
of the Company to advance funds either to or from the Company, through BCM, in
an amount up to $15.0 million, on the condition that such advances shall be
repaid in cash or transfers of assets within 90 days. Several property
transfers from BCM were made during 2002 to reduce the affiliate balance. Each
of these transactions were approved by TCI's Board of Directors.

   Affiliate receivable with BCM, ARI and Regis Hotel Corporation are included
within Other Assets, and the affiliate payable to IORI is included within Other
Liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The following table
reconciles the beginning and ending balances of affiliate receivables
(payables) as of December 31, 2002:

   In addition, Other Assets includes $1.7 million due from Regis Property
Management, a related party.

   Returns on Metra Properties.  As described in Note 5, TCI sold residential
properties during 2002 to partnerships controlled by Metra. The partnership
agreement for each of these partnerships states that the Metra Partners, as
defined, receive cash flow distributions at least quarterly in an amount
sufficient to provide them with a 15 percent cumulative compounded annual rate
of return on their invested capital, as well as a cumulative annual amount of
0.50% of the average outstanding balance of the mortgage indebtedness secured
by any of these residential properties. These distributions to the Metra
Partners have priority over distributions to any of the other partners.

NOTE 9.  DIVIDENDS

   TCI paid dividends on its Common Stock of $4.7 million ($.54 per share) in
2000. TCI reported to the Internal Revenue Service that 100% of the dividends
paid in 2000 represented ordinary income.

   In December 2000, the Board of Directors determined not to pay a fourth
quarter dividend to holders of TCI's Common Stock. The non-payment decision was
based on the Board determining that TCI needed to retain cash for acquisitions
that were anticipated in 2001 and 2002. No dividends were paid in 2002 or 2001.

NOTE 10.  STOCK OPTIONS

   In October 2000, TCI's stockholders approved the 2000 Stock Option Plan
("2000 Plan"). The 2000 Plan is administered by the Stock Option Committee,
which currently consists of two Independent Directors of TCI. The exercise
price per share of an option will not be less than 100% of the fair market
value per share on the date of grant thereof. As of December 31, 2002, TCI had
300,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2000 Plan. No
options have been granted under the 2000 Plan.

   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,
2002 and 2003, each Independent Director was granted an option to purchase
5,000 Common shares. The exercise price was $16.05 and $8.875 per Common shares
for 2002 and 2001, respectively. Each Independent Director will be awarded an
option to purchase an additional 5,000 shares on January 1 of each year.

NOTE 16.  INCOME TAXES

   During the third quarter of 2000, due to a concentration of ownership, TCI
no longer met the requirements for tax treatment as a Real Estate Investment
Trust ("REIT"), as defined in Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), under the Code, and is prohibited for
re-qualifying for REIT tax status for at least five years.

   TCI had a loss for federal income tax purposes (after utilization of
operating loss carryforwards) in 2002, 2001 and 2000; therefore, it recorded no
provision for income taxes. TCI's tax basis in its net assets differs from the
amount at which its net assets are reported for financial statement purposes,
principally due to the accounting

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

for gains and losses on property sales, the difference in the allowance for
estimated losses, depreciation on owned properties and investments in equity
method real estate entities. At December 31, 2002, TCI's tax basis in its net
real estate assets exceeded their basis for financial statement purposes by
$46.9 million. As a result, aggregate future income for tax purposes will be
less than such amount for financial statement purposes. Additionally, TCI had
tax net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2002, of approximately
$42.5 million expiring through the year 2018. The use of such loss
carryforwards are subject to certain limitations under the Internal Revenue
Code.

   At December 31, 2002, TCI had a net deferred tax asset of $28.4 million due
to tax deductions available to it in future years. However, as management
cannot determine that it is more likely than not that TCI will realize the
benefit of the deferred tax asset, a 100% valuation has been established.

NOTE 17.  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 general and administrative expenses.
Management evaluates the performance of the operating segments and allocates
resources to each of 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 sale of real estate totaling $4.5 million,
$2.3 million and $6.4 million for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Expenses
that are not reflected in the segments are provision for losses, advisory, net
income and incentive fees, general and administrative, realized loss on
investments, minority interests, foreign currency transaction loss and
discontinued operations totaling $26.4 million, $24.4 million and $14.6 million
for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Excluded from operating segment assets
are assets of $100.3 million at December 31, 2002, and $86.5 million at
December 31, 2001, which are not identifiable with an operating segment. There
are no intersegment revenues and expenses. See "NOTE 2. "REAL ESTATE" and NOTE
3. "NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE."

NOTE 18.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

   Effective January 1, 2002, TCI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets," which established a single accounting model for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets, including discontinued operations. This
statement requires that the operations related to properties that have been
sold or properties that are intended to be sold be presented as discontinued
operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented, and
properties intended to be sold are to be designated as "held-for-sale" on the
balance sheet.

   For 2002, 2001 and 2000, income (loss) from discontinued operations relates
to 18 properties that TCI sold during 2002. The following table summarizes
revenue and expense information for these properties sold.

NOTE 20.  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   During the first quarter of 2002, TCI entered into an interest rate swap
agreement with a bank. This agreement contains a notional amount of $12.8
million and requires TCI to pay the bank a fixed rate of 4.3%, and requires the
bank to pay to TCI based on the 30 day LIBOR rate. This agreement was entered
into in order to effectively fix the rate on TCI's debt associated with the
Limestone Canyon property. The swap agreement expires on December 9, 2004.

   TCI has not designated the interest rate swap agreement as a hedge, as
defined within Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and as such, changes in the
fair value of the swap agreement are recognized in earnings during the period
of change and reflected in the statement of operations as interest expense.

                    TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


   The fair value of the swap agreement at December 31, 2002 represents a
liability to the Company of $624,000 and is included within other liabilities
in the accompanying balance sheet. Amounts paid or received under the swap
agreement are settled monthly and are reflected as a reduction in the liability
when paid. Interest expense at December 31, 2002, was increased by $895,000
representing both amounts paid to the bank under the agreement and increases in
the fair value of the related liability.

NOTE 21.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND LIQUIDITY

   In February 1990, TCI, together with National Income Realty Trust, CMET and
IORI three real estate entities which, at the time, had 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. (the "Olive Litigation"), 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 "First Amendment"). The First
Amendment provided for the settlement of additional matters raised by
plaintiffs' counsel in 1996. The Court issued an order approving the First
Amendment on July 3, 1997.

   The First 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 First Amendment. In January 2000, the Board engaged another management
compensation consultant to perform the required evaluation again. The
evaluation was completed in April 2000 and was provided to plaintiffs' counsel.
The Board believes that any alleged breach of the First Amendment has been
fully remedied by the Board's engagement of this second consultant. Although
several status conferences on this matter were held, there has been no court
order resolving whether there was any breach of the First Amendment.

   In June 2000, plaintiffs' counsel asserted that loans made by TCI to BCM and
American Realty Trust, Inc. breached the provision of the Modification. The
Board believes that the provisions of the Settlement, Modification and the
First 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, Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("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 (the "Second Amendment"). Under the Second Amendment,
the appeal has been dismissed with prejudice and ARI agreed to either (i)
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 or (ii) make a tender
offer for all of the outstanding common shares of IORI and TCI not currently
owned by ARI. Under the merger, ARI would 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

                                      65



                    TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

Stock for stockholders who affirmatively 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 affirmatively elect to receive ARI preferred stock in lieu of
cash. Each share of Series G Preferred Stock would 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 was 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. Two of the directors of TCI and IORI also serve as
directors for ARI.

   On November 15, 2002, ARI commenced, through subsidiaries, a tender offer
for shares of common stock of TCI and IORI. The price per share was $17.50 for
TCI shares and $19.00 for IORI shares. The tender offers were made to cure a
default under the settlement resulting from ARI's failure to timely complete
the SEC review process of the registration statement for the proposed mergers
with TCI and IORI. The tender offers were completed on March 19, 2003. ARI
acquired 265,036 IORI shares and 1,213,226 TCI shares. The completion of the
tender offer fulfills the obligations under the Second Amendment and the Olive
Litigation has been dismissed with prejudice. ARI has deferred further action
on the mergers.

   Partnership Buyouts.  TCI is the limited partner in ten partnerships formed
to construct residential properties. As permitted in the respective partnership
agreements, TCI intends to purchase the interests of the general and any other
limited partners in these partnerships subsequent to the completion of these
projects. The amounts paid to buyout the nonaffiliated partners are limited to
development fees earned by the nonaffiliated partners, and are set forth in the
respective partnership agreements. The total amount of the expected buyouts as
of December 31, 2002 is approximately $5.9 million.

   Liquidity.  Although management anticipates that TCI will generate excess
cash from operations in 2003, due to increased rental rates at its properties,
such excess, however, 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.

   Other Litigation.  TCI is also involved in various other lawsuits arising in
the ordinary course of business. 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.

   TCI is currently in default on its loans secured by the three hotels in
Chicago. The loans, in the total principal amount of $9.6 million, matured at
the end of February 2003 and have been in default since August 2002 due to the
hotels not achieving the necessary debt service coverage ratios. Because of the
default, the lender began charging default interest at the rate of 12% per
annum. TCI has not paid the default interest since September 2002 and is
attempting to obtain an extension on the debt.

   TCI is currently in default on a $1.0 million loan secured by interests in
the partnership which owns the Tivoli Apartments in Dallas, Texas. TCI
attempted to negotiate an extension for this loan maturing in December 2002. In
January 2003, the lender commenced a lawsuit against TCI to collect the amount.

   TCI is currently in default on a $5.3 million loan secured by the Majestic
Hotel in San Francisco, California. TCI ceased making monthly payments of
principal and interest in May 2002 and attempted to restructure the debt.

   In January 2001, TCI exercised its option under the loan documents to extend
the maturity date of three loans with a principal balance of $30.0 million
secured by three office buildings in New Orleans, Louisiana. The lender has
disputed TCI's right to extend the loans. This dispute is the subject of
litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Louisiana.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

   Under the securities laws of the United States, the Directors, executive
officers, and any persons holding more than ten percent of TCI's shares of
Common Stock are required to report their share ownership and any changes in
that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").
Specific due dates for these reports have been established and TCI is required
to report any failure to file by these dates during 2002. All of these filing
requirements were satisfied by TCI's Directors and executive officers and ten
percent holders. In making these statements, TCI has relied on the written
representations of its incumbent Directors and executive officers and its ten
percent holders and copies of the reports that they have filed with the
Commission.

The Advisor

   Although the Board of Directors is directly responsible for managing the
affairs of TCI and for setting the policies which guide it, TCI's day-to-day
operations are performed by BCM under the supervision of the Board. The duties
of BCM include, among other things, locating, investigating, evaluating and
recommending real estate and mortgage note investment and sales opportunities
as well as financing and refinancing sources. BCM also serves as a consultant
to the Board in connection with the business plan and investment decisions made
by the Board.

   BCM has served as TCI's advisor since March 1989. BCM is a company of which
Messrs. Branigan, Corna, and Kimbrough serve as executive officers. BCM is
indirectly owned by a trust for the children of Gene E. Phillips. Mr. Phillips
is not an officer or director of BCM, but serves as a representative of the
trust, is involved in daily consultation with the officers of BCM and has
significant influence over the conduct of BCM's business, including the
rendering of advisory services and the making of investment decisions for
itself and for TCI.

   Under the Advisory Agreement, BCM is required to annually formulate and
submit, for Board approval, a budget and business plan containing a
twelve-month forecast of operations and cash flow, a general plan for asset
sales and purchases, lending, foreclosure and borrowing activity, and other
investments, and BCM is required to report quarterly to the Board on TCI's
performance against the business plan. In addition, all transactions require
prior Board approval, unless they are explicitly provided for in the approved
business plan or are made pursuant to authority expressly delegated to BCM by
the Board.

                                      79



   The Advisory Agreement also requires prior Board approval for the retention
of all consultants and third party professionals, other than legal counsel. The
Advisory Agreement provides that BCM shall be deemed to be in a fiduciary
relationship to the stockholders; contains a broad standard governing BCM's
liability for losses by TCI; and contains guidelines for BCM's allocation of
investment opportunities as among itself, TCI and other entities it advises.

   The Advisory Agreement provides for BCM to be responsible for the day-to-day
operations of TCI and to receive an advisory fee comprised of a gross asset fee
of .0625% per month (.75% per annum) of the average of the gross asset value
(total assets less allowance for amortization, depreciation or depletion and
valuation reserves) and an annual net income fee equal to 7.5% of TCI's net
income.

   The Advisory Agreement also provides for BCM to receive an annual incentive
sales fee equal to 10% of the amount, if any, by which the aggregate sales
consideration for all real estate sold by TCI during such fiscal year exceeds
the sum of: (1) the cost of each such property as originally recorded in TCI's
books for tax purposes (without deduction for depreciation, amortization or
reserve for losses), (2) capital improvements made to such assets during the
period owned, and (3) all closing costs, (including real estate commissions)
incurred in the sale of such real estate; provided, however, no incentive fee
shall be paid unless (a) such real estate sold in such fiscal year, in the
aggregate, has produced an 8% simple annual return on the net investment
including capital improvements, calculated over the holding period before
depreciation and inclusive of operating income and sales consideration and (b)
the aggregate net operating income from all real estate owned for each of the
prior and current fiscal years shall be at least 5% higher in the current
fiscal year than in the prior fiscal year.

   Additionally, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement BCM or an affiliate of BCM
is to receive an acquisition commission for supervising the acquisition,
purchase or long-term lease of real estate equal to the lesser of (1) up to 1%
of the cost of acquisition, inclusive of commissions, if any, paid to
nonaffiliated brokers or (2) the compensation customarily charged in
arm's-length transactions by others rendering similar property acquisition
services as an ongoing public activity in the same geographical location and
for comparable property, provided that the aggregate purchase price of each
property (including acquisition fees and real estate brokerage commissions) may
not exceed such property's appraised value at acquisition.

   The Advisory Agreement requires BCM or any affiliate of BCM to pay to TCI,
one-half of any compensation received from third parties with respect to the
origination, placement or brokerage of any loan made by TCI; provided, however,
that the compensation retained by BCM or any affiliate of BCM shall not exceed
the lesser of (1) 2% of the amount of the loan commitment or (2) a loan
brokerage and commitment fee which is reasonable and fair under the
circumstances.

   The Advisory Agreement also provides that BCM or an affiliate of BCM is to
receive a mortgage or loan acquisition fee with respect to the acquisition or
purchase of any existing mortgage loan by TCI equal to the lesser of (1) 1% of
the amount of the loan purchased or (2) a brokerage or commitment fee which is
reasonable and fair under the circumstances. Such fee will not be paid in
connection with the origination or funding of any mortgage loan by TCI.

   Under the Advisory Agreement, BCM or an affiliate of BCM also is to receive
a mortgage brokerage and equity refinancing fee for obtaining loans or
refinancing on properties equal to the lesser of (1) 1% of the amount of the
loan or the amount refinanced or (2) a brokerage or refinancing fee which is
reasonable and fair under the circumstances; provided, however, that no such
fee shall be paid on loans from BCM or an affiliate of BCM without the approval
of TCI's Board of Directors. No fee shall be paid on loan extensions.

   Under the Advisory Agreement, BCM receives reimbursement of certain expenses
incurred by it in the performance of advisory services.

   Under the Advisory Agreement, all or a portion of the annual advisory fee
must be refunded by the Advisor if the Operating Expenses of TCI (as defined in
the Advisory Agreement) exceed certain limits specified in the

                                      80



Advisory Agreement based on the book value, net asset value and net income of
TCI during the fiscal year. BCM was required to refund $1.4 million of the 2002
advisory fee under this provision.

   Additionally, if management were to request that BCM render services to TCI
other than those required by the Advisory Agreement, BCM or an affiliate of BCM
separately would be compensated for such additional services on terms to be
agreed upon from time to time. As discussed below, under "Property Management",
TCI has hired Triad Realty Services, Ltd. ("Triad"), an affiliate of BCM, to
provide property management services for TCI's properties. Also as discussed
below, under "Real Estate Brokerage" TCI had engaged, on a non-exclusive basis,
Regis Realty, Inc. ("Regis"), a related party, to perform brokerage services
for TCI until December 2002. Beginning January 1, 2003, Regis Realty I LLC
performs brokerage services for TCI.

   BCM may assign the Advisory Agreement only with the prior consent of TCI.

   The directors and principal officers of BCM are set forth below.

Property Management

   Since February 1, 1990, affiliates of BCM have provided property management
services to TCI. Currently, Triad Realty Services, Ltd. ("Triad") provides such
property management services. Triad subcontracts with other entities for the
provision of property-level management services to TCI. The general partner of
Triad is BCM. The limited partner of Triad is Highland Realty Services, Inc.
("Highland"), a related party. Triad subcontracted the property-level
management and leasing of 45 of TCI's commercial properties to Regis Realty,
Inc. ("Regis"), a related party, which was a company owned by Highland, until
December 2002. Regis was entitled to receive property and construction
management fees and leasing commissions in accordance with the terms of its
property-level management agreement with Triad, until December 2002. Regis also
was entitled to receive real estate brokerage commissions in accordance with
the terms of a non-exclusive brokerage agreement. Since January 1, 2003, Regis
Realty I, LLC ("Regis I"), provided these services. Regis I is owned by
Highland. Regis Hotel Corporation, a related party, managed TCI's five hotels,
until December 2002. Since January 1, 2003, Regis Hotel I, LLC, managed TCI's
five hotels. The sole member of Regis I and Regis Hotel I, LLC is Highland.

Real Estate Brokerage

   Regis also provided real estate brokerage services to TCI (on a
non-exclusive basis), until December 2002. Regis was entitled to receive a real
estate commission for property purchases and sales in accordance with the
following sliding scale of total fees to be paid: (1) maximum fee of 4.5% on
the first $2.0 million of any purchase or sale transaction of which no more
than 3.5% would be paid to Regis or affiliates; (2) maximum fee of 3.5% on
transaction amounts between $2.0 million-$5.0 million of which no more than 3%
would be paid to Regis or

                                      81



affiliates; (3) maximum fee of 2.5% on transaction amounts between $5.0
million-$10.0 million of which no more than 2% would be paid to Regis or
affiliates; and (4) maximum fee of 2% on transaction amounts in excess of $10.0
million of which no more than 1.5% would be paid to Regis or affiliates.
Beginning January 1, 2003, Regis I provides these services. The sole member of
Regis I is Highland.

ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

   TCI has no employees, payroll or benefit plans and pays no compensation to
its executive officers. The executive officers of TCI, who are also officers or
employees of BCM, TCI's advisor, are compensated by BCM. Such executive
officers perform a variety of services for BCM and the amount of their
compensation is determined solely by BCM. BCM does not allocate the cash
compensation of its officers among the various entities for which it serves as
advisor. See ITEM 10. "DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ADVISOR OF THE
REGISTRANT--The Advisor" for a more detailed discussion of the compensation
payable to BCM.

   The only remuneration paid by TCI is to the Directors who are not officers
or directors of BCM or its affiliated companies. The Independent Directors (1)
review the business plan of TCI to determine that it is in the best interest of
stockholders, (2) review the advisory contract, (3) supervise the performance
of the advisor and review the reasonableness of the compensation paid to the
advisor in terms of the nature and quality of services performed, (4) review
the reasonableness of the total fees and expenses of TCI and (5) select, when
necessary, a qualified independent real estate appraiser to appraise properties
acquired.

   Each Independent Director receives compensation in the amount of $30,000 per
year, plus reimbursement for expenses. The Chairman of the Board receives an
additional fee of $3,000 per year. In addition, each Independent Director
receives an additional fee of $1,000 per day for any special services rendered
by him to TCI outside of his ordinary duties as Director, plus reimbursement of
expenses.

   During 2002, $91,113 was paid to the Independent Directors in total
Directors' fees for all services, including the annual fee for service during
the period January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2002, and 2002 special service
fees as follows: Earl D. Cecil, $25,113; Ted P. Stokely, $34,000; and Martin L.
White, $32,000.

Director's Stock Option Plan

   TCI has established a Director's Stock Option Plan ("Director's Plan") for
the purpose of attracting and retaining Directors who are not officers or
employees of TCI or BCM. The Director's Plan provides for the grant of options
that are exercisable at fair market value of TCI's Common Stock on the date of
grant. The Director's Plan was approved by stockholders at their annual meeting
on October 10, 2000, following which each then-serving Independent Director was
granted options to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock of TCI. On January 1
of each year, each Independent Director will receive options to purchase 5,000
shares of Common Stock. The options 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.

   As of March 1, 2003, TCI had 110,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for
issuance under the Director's Stock Option Plan of which 15,000 options were
outstanding.

Performance Graph

   The following performance graph compares the cumulative total stockholder
return on TCI's shares of Common Stock with the Dow Jones US Total Market Index
("DJ Total Market Index") and the Dow Jones Real Estate Investment Index ("DJ
Real Estate Index"). The comparison assumes that $100 was invested on
December 31, 1997, in TCI's shares of Common Stock and in each of the indices
and further assumes the reinvestment of all distributions. Past performance is
not necessarily an indicator of future performance.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Certain Business Relationships

   In February 1989, the Board of Directors voted to retain BCM as TCI's
advisor. See ITEM 10. "DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ADVISOR TO THE
REGISTRANT--The Advisor." BCM is indirectly owned by a trust for the children
of Gene E. Phillips. Mr. Phillips is not an officer or director of BCM, but
serves as a representative of the trust, is involved in daily consultation with
the officers of BCM and has significant influence over the conduct of BCM's
business, including the rendering of advisory services and the making of
investment decisions for itself and for TCI.

   Since February 1, 1991, affiliates of BCM have provided property management
services to TCI. Currently, Triad provides such property management services.
The general partner of Triad is BCM. The limited partner of Triad is Highland,
a related party. Triad subcontracted the property-level management and leasing
of 45 of TCI's commercial properties, and its five hotels to Regis, a related
party, which is a company owned by Highland, until December 2002. Since January
1, 2003, Regis I provided this service.

   Regis also provided real estate brokerage services for TCI, on a
non-exclusive basis, and receives brokerage commissions in accordance with the
brokerage agreement, until December 2002. Since January 1, 2003, Regis I
provided this service.

   The Directors and officers of TCI also serve as directors and officers of
IORI. The Directors owe fiduciary duties to IORI as well as to TCI under
applicable law. IORI has the same relationship with BCM as TCI. At December 31,
2002, TCI owned approximately 24.0% of the outstanding common shares of IORI.
BCM also serves as advisor to ARI. Messrs. Cecil and Stokely serve also as
Directors of ARI. Messrs. Branigan, Corna, and Kimbrough serve as executive
officers of ARI.

Related Party Transactions

   Historically, TCI has engaged in and may continue to engage in business
transactions, including real estate partnerships, with related parties.
Management believes that all of the related party transactions represented the
best investments available at the time and were at least as advantageous to TCI
as could have been obtained from unrelated third parties.

Operating Relationships

   In the year ended December 31, 2002, TCI received $68,000 in rent from BCM
for BCM's lease at Addison Hanger. BCM owns a corporate jet that is housed at
the hanger and TCI has available space at the hanger.

Property Transactions

   In January 2002, TCI purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of ART
Two Hickory Corporation from ARI, for $4.4 million. See NOTE 3. "NOTES AND
INTEREST RECEIVABLE." The purchase price was

                                      85



determined based upon the market value of the property exchanged, using a
market rate multiple of net operating income ("cap rate") of 7.0%. The business
purpose of the transaction was for TCI to make an equity investment in Two
Hickory anticipating a profitable return.

   In February 2002, TCI sold a $2.0 million senior participation interest in a
loan to IORI. See NOTE 3. "NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE." Management
determined that TCI could benefit from the increase in cash and decrease its
notes receivable outstanding portfolio.

   In March 2002, TCI paid cash of $600,000 and received from ARI two parcels
of land, a 24.5 acre tract of Rasor land, a 16.89 acre tract of Lakeshore
Villas land, and the 45,623 sq. ft. Oaktree Village Shopping Center in exchange
for the 80,278 sq. ft. Plaza on Bachman Creek Shopping Center. The exchange
value prices for the shopping centers were determined based on a cap rate of
10.5% and the value for the Rasor and Lakeshore Villas land was determined on
appraised rates of $3.36 and $1.29, respectively, per square foot. The business
purpose of the transaction was for TCI to construct apartments on the Rasor and
Lakeshore Villas land and to give ample value for the property TCI exchanged,
the Oaktree Shopping Center was added to the transaction. See NOTE 2. "REAL
ESTATE."

   In April 2002, TCI purchased 100% of the following entities from ARI: Garden
Confederate Point, L.P., Garden Foxwood, L.P., Garden Woodsong, L.P. and ART
One Hickory Corporation for $10.0 million. See NOTE 3. "NOTES AND INTEREST
RECEIVABLE." The purchase price for these entities was determined based on a
cap rate of 8.41% for the partnerships and 7.0% for ART One Hickory
Corporation. The business purpose of the transaction was for TCI to make an
equity investment in the entities anticipating a profitable return.

   In June 2002, TCI purchased Centura Tower, Ltd. partnership, which owns the
Centura Tower Office Building from ARI for $50.0 million. See NOTE 2. "REAL
ESTATE." The purchase price for the Centura Tower was determined based on
appraised value and replacement cost. The business purpose of the transaction
was for TCI to acquire a Class A office building with significant upside
potential anticipating a profitable return.

   Also in June 2002, TCI purchased five parcels of unimproved land from ARI:
the Hollywood Casino, Marine Creek, Mason Park, Nashville and Palm Desert land
parcels. See NOTE 2. "REAL ESTATE." The purchase price of the Hollywood Casino
land was determined based on an appraised rate of $9.10 per square foot. The
business purpose of the transaction was for TCI to consolidate its holdings
within the Mercer Crossing development. The purchase price for the Marine
Creek, Mason Park, Nashville and Palm Desert land parcels was determined based
on appraised rates of $2.00, $3.56, $4.00 and $1.48 per square foot,
respectively. The business purpose of the transaction was for TCI to develop
apartments on these four tracts of land.

   In October 2002, a short term working capital loan to BCM for a total of
$4.0 million was assumed by TCI. The loan is secured on the Red Cross land,
requires quarterly payments and was due in October 2002. See NOTE 6. "NOTES AND
INTEREST PAYABLE."

   In December 2002, TCI purchased the NLP/CH, Ltd. partnership, which owns the
Centura land parcel, from ARI. See NOTE 2. "REAL ESTATE." The purchase price
was determined based on an appraised rate of $34.89 per share foot. The
business purpose of the transaction was for TCI to construct apartments on the
land.

   As more fully described in ITEM 2. "PROPERTIES-Real Estate," TCI is a
partner with IORI in Nakash Income Associates. TCI owns 345,728 shares of
IORI's Common Stock, an approximate 24.0% interest. At December 31, 2002, the
market value of the IORI common shares was $6.5 million.

   At December 31, 2002, TCI owned 746,972 shares of ARI common stock which
were primarily purchased in open market transactions in 1990 and 1991 at a
total cost of $1.6 million. The officers of TCI also serve as officers of ARI.
BCM also serves as advisor to ARI and at March 19, 2003, ARI owned
approximately 64.5% of

                                      86



TCI's outstanding Common Stock. At December 31, 2002, the market value of the
ARI common shares owned by TCI was $6.0 million.

   In February 2002, a short term working capital loan to BCM for a total of
$2.5 million was assumed by TCI. The loan is secured by the Stone Oak
Apartments in San Antonio, Texas, requires all principal and interest due and
payable on April 28, 2003. See NOTE 22. "SUBSEQUENT EVENTS."

   In 2002, TCI paid BCM, its affiliates and related parties $5.9 million in
advisory, incentive and net income fees, $753,000 in mortgage brokerage and
equity refinancing fees, $58,000 in property acquisition fees, $3.0 million in
real estate brokerage commissions and $8.2 million in property and construction
management fees and leasing commissions, net of property management fees paid
to subcontractors, other than affiliates of BCM. In addition, as provided in
the Advisory Agreement, BCM received cost reimbursements of $2.0 million.

   In addition, from time-to-time, TCI and its affiliates have made advances to
each other, which generally have not had specific repayment terms and have been
reflected in TCI's financial statements as other assets or other liabilities.
At December 31, 2002, TCI had receivables of $6.6 million, $1.8 million and
$6.0 million from BCM, GS Realty, and ARI, respectively. Also at December 31,
2002, TCI owed $649,000, $374,000 and $5.3 million to GS Realty, BCM and IORI,
respectively. In January 2003, TCI paid the $649,000 due to GS Realty and in
March 2003, TCI paid the $374,000 to BCM.

Restrictions on Related Party Transactions

   Article FOURTEENTH of TCI's Articles of Incorporation provides that TCI
shall not, directly or indirectly, contract or engage in any transaction with
(1) any director, officer or employee of TCI, (2) any director, officer or
employee of the advisor, (3) the advisor or (4) any affiliate or associate (as
such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended) of any of the aforementioned persons, unless (a) the material facts
as to the relationship among or financial interest of the relevant individuals
or persons and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed to or are known
by the Board of Directors or the appropriate committee thereof and (b) the
Board of Directors or committee thereof determines that such contract or
transaction is fair to TCI and simultaneously authorizes or ratifies such
contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of independent
directors of TCI entitled to vote thereon.

   Article FOURTEENTH defines an "Independent Director" as one who is neither
an officer or employee of TCI nor a director, officer or employee of TCI's

ITEM 14.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

   (a) Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, TCI carried out an
       evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of TCI's
       management, including TCI's Acting Principal Executive Officer and
       Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
       operation of TCI's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
       Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon the evaluation, TCI's Acting
       Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded
       that TCI's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely
       alerting him to material information relating to TCI (including its

   this quarterly report;

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
   information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
   material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash
   flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
   quarterly report;

4. I am responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls and
   procedures and have:

    a. designed such internal controls to insure that material information
       relating to TCI and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to me by
       others within those entities, particularly for the periods presented in
       this quarterly report;

       within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report;

5. I have disclosed to TCI's auditors and Audit Committee of the Board of
   Directors (or persons fulfilling the equivalent function):

    a. all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
       controls which could adversely affect TCI's ability to record, process,
       summarize, and report financial data and have identified for TCI's
       auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls; and

    b. any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
       employees who have a significant role in TCI's internal controls; and

6. I have indicated in this quarterly report whether or not there were
