NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Dollar amounts in tables are in thousands, except per share amounts. Certain balances for 2002 have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation.

Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in ARI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 (the “2002 Form 10-K”).

On November 15, 2002, ARI, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, commenced a tender offer for the common shares of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (“TCI”) and Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (“IORI”) not already owned by ARI. The tender offer was completed on March 19, 2003. ARI paid $19.00 cash per IORI share and $17.50 cash per TCI share for the stock of non-affiliated stockholders. Pursuant to the tender offer, ARI acquired 265,036 IORI shares and 1,213,226 TCI shares. After the tender offer, ARI owned 64.8% of the outstanding shares of TCI and 62.5% of the outstanding shares of IORI (46.9% owned directly by ARI and 15.6% through TCI’s ownership of IORI shares). ARI began consolidation of TCI’s and IORI’s accounts and operations effective March 31, 2003. The effect of consolidating TCI’s and IORI’s operations from the completion of the tender offer through March 31, 2003 was determined to be immaterial. On June 2, 2003, ARI exchanged all of its 674,971 IORI shares with Basic Capital Management, Inc. (“BCM”), a related party and the contractual advisor to ARI until June 30, 2003, receiving 650,000 TCI shares from BCM. In addition, BCM has executed a promissory note in favor of ARI in the amount of $526,000 (see NOTE 3. “NOTES RECEIVABLE”). After the exchange, ARI owned 72.9% of the outstanding shares of TCI. On June 30, 2003, ARI sold a participating interest in $5.8 million of its $15.5 million line of credit receivable from One Realco Corporation (“One Realco”) to BCM, receiving 314,141 TCI shares from BCM (see NOTE 3. “NOTES RECEIVABLE”). After the transaction, ARI owned 76.8% of the outstanding shares of TCI. ARI no longer directly owns any IORI shares. At June 30, 2003, ARI owned 18.4% of IORI through TCI’s ownership of IORI shares. ARI ceased consolidation of IORI’s accounts and operations effective June 2, 2003.

On June 30, 2003, ARI sold its 74.31% interest in Realty Advisors Korea, Ltd. (“RAK”) to Realty Advisors, Inc. (“Realty Advisors”), a related party. The sales price was $6.0 million. Realty Advisors also paid ARI $600,000, representing 10% interest on the $6.0 million price paid by ARI to purchase the 74.31% interest in RAK in 2002. The $6.0 million sales price reduced ARI’s affiliate debt. The $600,000 interest was received in cash in August 2003. ARI ceased consolidation of RAK’s accounts and operations effective June 30, 2003.

Effective July 1, 2003, Prime Asset Management, Inc., (“Prime”) became the advisor to ARI and TCI. Prime is owned by Realty Advisors (79%) and Syntek West, Inc. (21%), related parties. Syntek West, Inc. is owned by Gene Phillips.

In July 2003, ARI sold its interest in Milano Restaurants International Corporation (“MRI”) to Gruppa Florentina, LLC (“Gruppa”), for $27.4 million, receiving $7.4 million in cash after debt assumption and providing purchase money financing of $2.3 million (see NOTE 3. “NOTES RECEIVABLE”). ARI owns 20% of Gruppa, thereby retaining a 20% interest in MRI. ARI remains as the guarantor of $13.7 million of assumed debt and is one of the guarantors of $7.5 million in new debt obtained by Gruppa. Due to the debt guarantees and ARI’s continuing ownership interest in MRI, management has determined that this should be accounted for as a financing transaction.

Recent accounting pronouncements. 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

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

applicable to financial statements to be issued by ARI after 2003; however, disclosures are required currently if ARI expects to consolidate any variable interest entities. ARI does not currently believe that any entities will be consolidated as a result of FIN 46.

Stock-based employee compensation. Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations are utilized by management in accounting for the option plans. All share options issued have exercise prices equal to the market price of the shares at the dates of grant. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the option plans. Had compensation cost for the option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below.

Assumed debt of seller.

In February 1990, ARI sold the Bridgeview Plaza Shopping Center, located in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, providing purchase money financing of $5.0 million in the form of a wrap mortgage. In 1996, the first lienholder called a default under the ARI wrap note, and directed future payments be made directly to them. ARI began legal proceedings against the first lienholder. In December 1999, ARI sold the note to BCM at its carrying value of $489,000, retaining the right to receive any amounts collected by BCM in excess of the amount paid, plus accrued interest. In 2002, ARI prevailed in its litigation and ARI’s lien on the property was restored. The borrower continued in default, and ARI foreclosed on the property in March 2003. The property was subsequently sold to TCI. See NOTE 8. “RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS.”

In February 2003, ARI sold an 89.3 acre tract of its Katrina land parcel for $8.5 million, paying $410,000 after payment of closing costs and debt paydown and providing purchase money financing of $5.6 million. The note bears interest at 8.0% per annum and matures three years after the recording of the Deed of Trust. Interest will begin accruing after improvements to the site have been completed by ARI. ARI expects that the improvements will be completed by the end of 2003. The future costs to ARI to complete the improvements, estimated to be $2.5 million, were accrued in 2002. A principal payment of $450,000 is due within ten days after a Tentative Parcel Map (the “Map”) is recorded. ARI expects that the Map will be recorded by the end of September 2003. Interest payments will be due on the first day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first quarter following the completion of the site improvements.

In March 2003, ARI sold the Grand Hotel Sofia for $24.8 million, receiving $6.3 million in cash after paying closing costs and debt assumption and providing purchase money financing of $13.5 million.

After the 90 day interest-free period, monthly interest payments are required. The purchaser has the right to extend the note at 9.0% per annum for an additional 90 days by providing notice of intent at least 15 days prior to maturity and paying a 1.5% extension fee on the unpaid principal balance.

In March 2003, ARI sold the 90,000 sq. ft., 4135 Beltline Office Building in Addison, Texas, for $4.4 million and provided $1.5 million

annum and matured on March 31, 2003. All principal and interest were due at maturity. At August 2003, negotiations are underway to modify and extend the terms of the loan.

In December 2002, ARI sold a 171.1 acre tract of its Desert Wells land parcel for $11.9 million receiving $1.4 million after payment of closing costs and debt paydown and providing purchase money financing of $8.9 million.

In July 2001, ARI 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 Country, Texas. As of April 2003, ARI had funded $2.9 million of the line of credit and it was classified as nonperforming. In May 2003, ARI received a $433,000 principal paydown. Also during May 2003, ARI received 14.373 acres of unimproved land in Tarrant County, Texas, valued at $1.1 million, as a principal paydown. As of July 2003, the loan has been paid in full.

In September 1999, in conjunction with the sale of two apartments in Austin, Texas, $2.1 million in purchase money financing was provided, secured by limited partnership interests in two limited partnerships owned by the buyer. The financing bore interest at 16.0% per annum, required monthly payments of interest only at 6.0% per annum, beginning in February 2000 and required a $200,000 principal paydown in December 1999, which was not received, and matured in August 2000. ARI had the option of obtaining the buyer’s general and limited partnership interests in the collateral partnerships in full satisfaction of the financing. In March 2000, ARI agreed to forbear foreclosing on the collateral securing the note and released one of the partnership interests, in exchange for a payment of $250,000 and executed deeds of trusts on certain properties owned by the buyer. In March 2000, the borrower made a $1.1 million payment, upon receipt of which ARI returned the deeds of trust. The borrower executed a replacement promissory note for the remaining note balance of $1.0 million, which was unsecured, non-interest bearing and matured in April 2003. At August 2003, negotiations are underway to modify the terms of the loan.

Related Party. On June 2, 2003, ARI exchanged all of its 674,971 IORI shares with BCM, receiving 650,000 TCI shares from BCM. In addition, BCM has executed a promissory note in favor of ARI in the amount of $526,000.

In July 2003, ARI sold its interest in MRI to Gruppa for $27.4 million, receiving $7.4 million in cash after debt assumption and providing purchase money financing of $2.3 million (see NOTE 1. “BASIS OF PRESENTATION”). The loan bears interest at 10.0% per annum, matures in August 2013 and requires monthly payments of principal and interest beginning in September 2003. ARI owns 20% of Gruppa, thereby retaining a 20% interest in MRI. Due to debt guarantees and ARI’s continuing ownership interest in MRI, management has determined that this should be accounted for as a financing transaction.

In March 2001, ARI funded $13.6 million of a $15.0 million unsecured line of credit to One Realco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of which owns approximately 2.1% of the outstanding shares of ARI’s Common Stock.

NOTE 4. INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY INVESTEES

Real estate entities. Before 2003 ARI’s investment in real estate entities included equity securities of IORI and TCI, and interests in real estate joint venture partnerships. BCM, ARI’s advisor until June 30, 2003, served as advisor to IORI and TCI until June 30, 2003.

Through March 31, 2003, ARI accounted for its investment in IORI and TCI and the joint venture partnerships using the equity method. ARI began consolidation of TCI’s and IORI’s accounts and operations effective March 31, 2003. See NOTE 1. “BASIS OF PRESENTATION.” The effect of consolidating TCI’s and IORI’s operations from the completion of the tender offer through March 31, 2003 was determined to be immaterial. On June 2, 2003, ARI exchanged all of its 674,971 IORI shares with BCM, receiving 650,000 TCI shares from BCM. In addition, BCM has executed a promissory note in favor of ARI in the amount of $526,000 (see NOTE 3. “NOTES RECEIVABLE”). After the exchange, ARI owned 72.9% of the outstanding shares of TCI. On June 30, 2003, ARI sold a participating interest in $5.8 million of its $15.5 million line of credit receivable from One Realco to BCM, receiving 314,141 TCI shares from BCM (see NOTE 3. “NOTES RECEIVABLE”). After the transaction, ARI owned 76.8% of the outstanding shares of TCI. ARI no longer directly owns any IORI shares. At June 30, 2003, ARI owned 18.4% of IORI through TCI’s ownership of IORI shares. ARI ceased consolidation of IORI’s accounts and operations effective June 2, 2003.

Effective July 1, 2003, Prime became the advisor to ARI and TCI. Prime is owned by Realty Advisors (79%) and Syntek West, Inc. (21%), related parties. Syntek West, Inc. is owned by Gene Phillips.

ARI’s investment in real estate entities, accounted for using the equity method, at June 30, 2003 was as follows:

Investee	Percentage of ARI’s Ownership at June 30, 2003		Carrying Value of Investment at June 30, 2003		Equivalent Investee Book Value at June 30, 2003		Market Value of Investment at June 30, 2003

In January 2002, Investors Choice Florida Public Funds II, in which ART Florida Portfolio II, Ltd., a subsidiary of ARI, owned an interest, sold Villas Continental Apartments. ARI initially received $1.0 million in cash from the sale. In the six months ended June 30, 2002, ARI recognized a $531,000 loss on the sale, which is included in loss on sale of investments in equity investees in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Subsequently, ARI received an additional $245,000 in sales proceeds, reducing the total loss to $286,000.

NOTE 5. MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES—TRADING PORTFOLIO

Since 1994, ARI has been purchasing equity securities to diversify and increase the liquidity of its margin accounts. These equity securities are considered a trading portfolio and are carried at market value. In the first six months of 2003, ARI purchased $1.6 million and sold $1.7 million of equity securities. At June 30, 2003, ARI recognized an unrealized increase in the market value

of its trading portfolio securities of $10,000. Unrealized and realized gains and losses on trading portfolio securities are included in other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 6. NOTES PAYABLE

In February 2003, the lender on one of ARI’s hotel properties located in Virginia and three hotel properties in Chicago notified ARI that the loans on the properties were in default, due to ARI’s failure to make timely debt service payments. The balance owed on the loans is $21.2 million. In April 2003, the lender and ARI agreed to terms to cure the default and extend the maturity dates of the loans. In May 2003, ARI failed to satisfy the conditions in the lender’s Loan Modification Offer (the “Offer”), and the Offer was revoked. At August 2003, negotiations with the lender to resolve this situation are ongoing.

In May 2003, the lender on one of ARI’s commercial properties located in Texas notified ARI that the loan on the property was in default, due to ARI’s failure to make timely debt service payments. The balance owed on the loan is $6.5 million. In July 2003, the maturity date of the note was extended to December 2003.

In 2003, ARI financed/refinanced or obtained second mortgage financing on the following:

Related Party Transactions. In each of the following transactions, except those footnoted as (6), a related party purchased an entity, which owns the listed property asset, from ARI. ARI guaranteed that the asset will produce at least a 12% return on the purchase price for a period of three years from the purchase date. If the asset fails to produce the 12% return, ARI will pay the purchaser any shortfall. In addition, if the asset fails to produce the 12% return for a calendar year, the purchaser may require ARI to repurchase the entity for the purchase price. Management has classified these related party transactions as notes payable.

IORI purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of Rosedale Corporation (“Rosedale”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARI, for $5.1 million. The purchase price was determined based upon the market value of the property, using a market rate multiple of net operating income. Rosedale owned the Rosedale Towers Office Building. The business purpose of this transaction was for IORI to make an equity investment in Rosedale, anticipating a profitable return, and for ARI to receive cash for its equity investment. After the property was sold to an unrelated buyer in December 2002, ARI owed $2.1 million to IORI for remaining principal and 12% return. In April 2003, ARI repaid $2.0 million in principal and accrued interest.

(5)

TCI purchased 100% of the common shares of ART Two Hickory Corporation (“Two Hickory”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARI, for $4.4 million. The purchase price was determined based upon the market value of the property, using a market rate multiple of net operating income. Two Hickory owns the Two Hickory Centre Office Building. The business purpose of this transaction was for TCI to make an equity investment in Two Hickory, anticipating a profitable return, and for ARI to receive cash for its equity investment.

Properties sold to partnerships controlled by Metra Capital, LLC (“Metra”). Innovo Group, Inc. (“Innovo”) is a limited partner in the partnerships that purchased the properties. Joseph Mizrachi, a Director of ARI until July 2003, controls approximately 11.67% of the outstanding common stock of Innovo. Management has determined

AMERICAN REALTY INVESTORS, INC.

NOTE 6. NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)

to treat this sale as a refinancing transaction. ARI will continue to report the assets and the new debt incurred by Metra on its financial statements. ARI also received $6.3 million of 8% non-recourse, non-convertible Series A Preferred Stock (“Preferred Shares”) of Innovo.

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

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

(7)

TCI purchased all of the general and limited partnership interests in Garden Confederate Point, L.P. (“Confederate Point”) from ARI for $1.9 million. The purchase price was determined based upon the market value of the property, using a market rate multiple of net operating income. Confederate Point owns the Confederate Point Apartments. The business purpose of this transaction was for TCI to make an equity investment in Confederate Point, anticipating a profitable return, and to reduce ARI’s payable to BCM.

(8)

TCI purchased all of the general and limited partnership interests in Garden Foxwood, L.P. (“Foxwood”) from ARI for $1.1 million.

NOTE 7. MARGIN BORROWINGS

ARI has margin arrangements with various financial institutions and brokerage firms which provide for borrowing of up to 50% of the market value of marketable equity securities. The borrowings under such margin arrangements are secured by equity securities of TCI and ARI’s trading portfolio securities and bear interest rates ranging from 5.00% to 24.0%. Margin borrowing totaled $5.9 million at June 30, 2003.

Sunset Management Loan. In September 2001, ARI obtained a security loan in the amount of $20.0 million from Sunset Management, LLC (“Sunset”). ARI received net cash of $16.1 million after the payment of various closing costs and $3.4 million repayment of principal and accrued interest on an existing loan with the same lender. Of the total loan amount, $19.5 million bears interest at 24% per annum, while the remaining $500,000 bears interest at 20% per annum. The loan is secured by 3,672,305 shares of TCI common stock held by BCM and wholly-owned subsidiaries of ARI. The loan required monthly payments of interest only and matured in September 2002. In September 2002, $15.0 million in principal was repaid. Sunset orally agreed in September 2002 to extend the maturity date of the loan and accept substitute collateral for the shares of TCI common stock after the $15.0 million paydown. Sunset did not honor the agreement, which resulted in litigation filed in Texas state court during October 2002, styled American Realty Trust, Inc., ART Williamsburg, Inc., Basic Capital Management, Inc. and EQK Holdings, Inc. v. Sunset Management, LLC, et al., Cause No. 02-09433-I pending in the 162nd Judicial Court of Dallas County, Texas (the “Texas Litigation”).

The Texas Litigation alleges breach of contract, misrepresentation, breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing and slander of title by Sunset and seeks certain declaratory relief against Sunset as well as a temporary and permanent anti-suit injunction against Sunset.

NOTE 7. MARGIN BORROWINGS (Continued)

Pledge Holder. On January 31, 2003, after a Temporary Restraining Order was issued in the Texas Litigation, Sunset instigated a separate lawsuit in state court in Nevada styled Sunset Management, LLC v. American Realty Trust, Inc. et al., Case No. A462587 pending in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada (the “Nevada Litigation”). On February 12, 2003, the Nevada state court held a hearing on Sunset’s request for emergency relief and denied all Sunset’s requested relief and indicated that a stay of the Nevada Litigation may be appropriate, which stay of litigation (including claims against TCI) was granted on May 2, 2003. Notwithstanding the stay of the Nevada Litigation, Sunset continues to seek to relitigate the underlying fact issues already determined in the Texas Litigation and the Nevada Litigation through cross-claims and counterclaims in the Texas Litigation and a renewed motion for preliminary injunction and appointment of receiver over TCI in the Nevada Litigation.

Sunset has sought expedited relief and an expedited hearing of the Texas Litigation which the court has refused to grant. The matter is currently set for a jury trial on December 8, 2003. In addition, the borrowers on the loan have sought to tender cash collateral to the court in lieu of the TCI stock, which motion has not been ruled upon. TCI has only recently been added to the Texas Litigation as a party.

Even though the relief sought by Sunset in the Texas Litigation and the Nevada Litigation has either been denied or stayed, on June 10, 2003, an attorney representing Sunset appeared at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of TCI attempting to vote 3,673,115 Shares of common stock of TCI under purported irrevocable proxies against the election of the four directors nominated in favor of the election of four affiliates of Sunset that Sunset seeks to nominate to serve as directors of TCI. The Inspector of Election at the Annual Meeting advised that Sunset’s attempt to exercise voting rights under proxies for the 3,673,115 shares was improper and would not be allowed, advising that BCM and the ARI subsidiaries held the absolute right to vote the 3,673,115 shares of TCI common stock so long as there was no event of default under the Sunset loan agreement. The Inspector of Election also observed at the Stockholders meeting that no evidence was before the Inspector from a court of law finding an event of default had occurred with respect the Sunset loan documents, and therefore, such proxies would not be honored at that time. Subsequently, representatives of Sunset delivered on July 7, 2003 to TCI a form captioned Schedule 13D for an event occurring June 10, 2003, making certain disclosures, including an allegation that “Sunset acquired voting rights to 3,673,115 shares of TCI to protect the value of Sunset’s security interest in the 3,673,115 shares of TCI pledged as collateral for . . . obligations to Sunset.” Actually, only 3,672,305 shares of TCI common stock were pledged [810 shares less than Sunset alleges]. Such schedule 13D also provides that “Sunset plans to foreclose on the pledged TCI shares as soon as possible.” Such Schedule 13D advises that “Sunset would prefer to replace the four management directors [of TCI] with neutral individuals . . . or if neutral

NOTE 7. MARGIN BORROWINGS (Continued)

individuals are unavailable, Sunset intends to nominate and [vote] for the election of affiliates of Sunset as directors of TCI on an interim basis until neutral individuals with satisfactory backgrounds and knowledge can be elected as directors.”

Security Loan. In October 2001, ARI obtained a security loan in the amount of $1.0 million from a financial institution. The loan bears interest at 1% over the prime rate, currently 5.00% per annum, requires monthly payments of interest only and matures in October 2003. The loan is callable upon 60 days prior notice, and is secured by 250,000 shares of ARI Common Stock held by BCM.

NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In March 2003, ARI sold the Bridgeview Plaza and Cullman shopping centers to TCI for $10.7 million to satisfy debt. TCI assumed debt of $2.7 million on Cullman. TCI received $5.1 million cash on the subsequent financing of the shopping centers.

In April 2003, ARI paid $2.0 million in principal and accrued interest to IORI, in partial payment of a note payable on the Rosedale Tower Office Building. See NOTE 6. “NOTES PAYABLE.”

On June 2, 2003, ARI exchanged all of its 674,971 IORI shares with BCM, receiving 650,000 TCI shares from BCM. In addition, BCM has executed a promissory note in favor of ARI in the amount of $526,000 (see NOTE 3. “NOTES RECEIVABLE”). After the exchange, ARI owned 72.9% of the outstanding shares of TCI. On June 30, 2003, ARI sold a participating interest in $5.8 million of its $15.5 million line of credit receivable from One Realco to BCM, receiving 314,141 TCI shares from BCM (see NOTE 3. “NOTES RECEIVABLE”). After the transaction, ARI owned 76.8% of the outstanding shares of TCI. ARI no longer directly owns any IORI shares. At June 30, 2003, ARI owned 18.4% of IORI through TCI’s ownership of IORI shares. ARI ceased consolidation of IORI’s accounts and operations effective June 2, 2003.

On June 30, 2003, ARI sold its 74.31% interest in RAK to Realty Advisors, a related party. The sales price was $6.0 million. Realty Advisors also paid ARI $600,000, representing 10% interest on the $6.0 million price paid by ARI to purchase the 74.31% interest in RAK in 2002. The $6.0 million sales price reduced ARI’s affiliate debt. The $600,000 interest was received in cash in August 2003.

NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

Effective July 1, 2003, Prime became the advisor to ARI and TCI. Prime is owned by Realty Advisors (79%) and Syntek West, Inc. (21%). Syntek West, Inc. is owned by Gene Phillips.

In July 2003, ARI sold its interest in MRI to Gruppa, for $27.4 million, receiving $7.4 million in cash after debt assumption and providing purchase money financing of $2.3 million (see NOTE 3. “NOTES RECEIVABLE”). ARI owns 20% of Gruppa, thereby retaining a 20% interest in MRI. Rossi Family Partners owns 50% of Gruppa. A. Cal Rossi, Jr., a Vice President of ARI, is a partner of Rossi Family Partners. ARI remains as the guarantor of $13.7 million of assumed debt and is one of the guarantors of $7.5 million in new debt obtained by Gruppa. Management has determined that this should be accounted for as a financing transaction.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of accounts payable to affiliates as of June 30, 2003.

NOTE 9. OPERATING SEGMENTS

Significant differences among the accounting policies of the operating segments as compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements principally involve the calculation and allocation of administrative expenses. Management evaluates the performance of each of the operating segments and allocates resources to them based on their net operating income and cash flow. Items of income that are not reflected in the segments are equity in loss of investees, equity in gain on sale of real estate by equity investees, loss on sale of investments in equity investees and other income which totaled $508,000 and $<3.8> million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and $<930,000> and $<1.2> million for 2002. Expenses that are not reflected in the segments are discount on sale of notes receivable, general and administrative expenses, minority interest, incentive fees, advisory fees, net income fees, writedown of assets held for sale and discontinued operations which totaled $13.5 million and $22.0 million for the three and six

Excluded from operating segment assets are assets of $89.0 million in 2003 and $122.3 million in 2002, which are not identifiable with an operating segment. There are no intersegment revenues and expenses, and ARI conducted all of its business within the United States, with the exception of Hotel Sofia (Bulgaria), which began operations in 2001 and was sold in March 2003, Realty Advisors Korea, Ltd. (South Korea), which ARI acquired in 2002 and sold in June 2003, and Hotel Academia (Poland), which began operations in 2002.

NOTE 10. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Effective January 1, 2002, ARI adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 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.

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.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Liquidity. Management expects that excess cash generated from operations during the remainder of 2003 will not be sufficient to discharge all of ARI’s debt obligations as they mature. Therefore, ARI will rely on aggressive land sales, selected income producing property sales and, to the extent necessary, additional borrowings to meet its cash requirements.

Commitments. During 2002, MRI, a then wholly-owned subsidiary of ARI, sold two restaurants to a corporation owned in part by an officer of MRI. In conjunction with the sale of these restaurants, MRI guaranteed the bank debt incurred by the related party. The guaranty applies to all current debt, and to all future debt of the related party until such time as the guaranty is terminated by MRI. The amount of the debt outstanding that is subject to the guaranty is $1.2 million at June 30, 2003. In July 2003, ARI sold its interest in MRI to Gruppa for $27.4 million, receiving $7.4 million in cash after debt assumption and providing purchase money financing of $2.3 million (see NOTE 3. “NOTES RECEIVABLE”). ARI owns 20% of Gruppa, thereby retaining a 20% interest in MRI. ARI remains as the guarantor of $13.7 million of assumed debt and is one of the guarantors of $7.5 million in new debt obtained by Gruppa. Due to the debt guarantees and ARI’s continuing ownership interest in MRI, management has determined that this should be accounted for as a financing transaction.

ARI has entered into an agreement with one of the investors in the Korean Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) that is advised by RAK, whereby the investor has been granted the opportunity to require ARI to buy their shares in the REIT twelve months after the closing of the REIT offering. Their investment is approximately $4.0 million.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

Litigation. In August 2002, ARI obtained a favorable jury verdict in the legal action entitled American Realty Trust v. Matisse Partners, L.L.C. (“Matisse”). However, the judge set aside the jury verdict and imposed a judgment against ARI in excess of $6.0 million, including interest. The judgment is being appealed, and, in the opinion of ARI’s management and legal counsel, there is a reasonable probability that the adverse judgment will be set aside and the jury verdict reinstated. Therefore, ARI has not recognized any expense nor established any reserve for this judgment. In November 2002, ARI posted a $6.0 million supercedeas bond. In July 2003, ARI obtained a letter of credit, which was substituted for the $6.0 million bond. The $6.0 million cash was returned to ARI. In April 2003, an additional judgment was issued against ARI for $1.4 million in legal fees. ARI is also appealing this judgment and posted a $1.4 million bond in May 2003. ARI has not recognized any expense nor established any reserve for this additional judgment.

In September 2001, ARI obtained a security loan in the amount of $20.0 million from Sunset Management, LLC (“Sunset”). ARI received net cash of $16.1 million after the payment of various closing costs and $3.4 million repayment of principal and accrued interest on an existing loan with the same lender. Of the total loan amount, $19.5 million bears interest at 24% per annum, while the remaining $500,000 bears interest at 20% per annum. The loan is secured by 3,672,305 shares of TCI common stock held by BCM and wholly-owned subsidiaries of ARI. The loan required monthly payments of interest only and matured in September 2002. In September 2002, $15.0 million in principal was repaid. Sunset orally agreed in September 2002 to extend the maturity date of the loan and accept substitute collateral for the shares of TCI common stock after the $15.0 million paydown. Sunset did not honor the agreement, which resulted in litigation filed in Texas state court during October 2002, styled American Realty Trust, Inc., ART Williamsburg, Inc., Basic Capital Management, Inc. and EQK Holdings, Inc. v. Sunset Management, LLC, et al., Cause No. 02-09433-I pending in the 162nd Judicial Court of Dallas County, Texas. See NOTE 7. “MARGIN BORROWINGS.”

In addition to Matisse and Sunset, ARI is involved in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management the outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material impact on ARI’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

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

Introduction

ARI’s predecessor was organized in 1961 to provide investors with a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of equity real estate and mortgage loan investments selected to provide opportunities for capital appreciation as well as current income.

On October 23, 2001, ARI, Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (“TCI”), and Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (“IORI”) 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 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 shares of IORI and TCI not currently owned by ARI. On November 15, 2002, ARI commenced the tender offer for the IORI and TCI shares. The tender offer was completed on March 19, 2003. ARI paid $19.00 cash per IORI share and $17.50 cash per TCI share for the stock held by non-affiliated stockholders. Pursuant to the tender offer, ARI acquired 265,036 IORI shares and 1,213,226 TCI shares. The completion of the tender offer fulfills the obligations under the Olive Settlement, and the Olive Litigation has been dismissed with prejudice.

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

Introduction (Continued)

After the tender offer, ARI owned 64.8% of the outstanding shares of TCI and 62.5% of the outstanding shares of IORI (46.9% owned directly by ARI and 15.6% through TCI’s ownership of IORI shares). ARI began consolidation of TCI’s and IORI’s accounts and operations effective March 31, 2003. The effect of consolidating TCI’s and IORI’s operations from the completion of the tender offer through March 31, 2003 was determined to be immaterial. Through June 30, 2003, ARI had the same advisor as TCI and IORI, and TCI and IORI had the same board of directors. Four of the directors of TCI and three of the directors of IORI also serve as directors of ARI. Effective July 1, 2003, ARI and TCI have the same advisor.

On June 2, 2003, ARI exchanged all of its 674,971 IORI shares with Basic Capital Management, Inc. (“BCM”), receiving 650,000 TCI shares from BCM. In addition, BCM has executed a promissory note in favor of ARI in the amount of $526,000 (see NOTE 3. “NOTES RECEIVABLE”). After the exchange, ARI owned 72.9% of the outstanding shares of TCI. On June 30, 2003, ARI sold a participating interest in $5.8 million of its $15.5 million line of credit receivable from One Realco Corporation (“One Realco”) to BCM, receiving 314,141 TCI shares from BCM (see NOTE 3. “NOTES RECEIVABLE”). After the transaction, ARI owned 76.8% of the outstanding shares of TCI. ARI no longer directly owns any IORI shares. At June 30, 2003, ARI owned 18.4% of IORI through TCI’s ownership of IORI shares. ARI ceased consolidation of IORI’s accounts and operations effective June 2, 2003.

Effective July 1, 2003, Prime Asset Management, Inc., (“Prime”) became the advisor to ARI and TCI. Prime is owned by Realty Advisors, Inc. (79%) and Syntek West, Inc. (21%), related parties. Syntek West, Inc. is owned by Gene Phillips.

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

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of ARI’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, complex or subjective judgements. ARI’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. ARI’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. ARI’s estimates are subject to revision as market conditions and ARI’s assessments of them change.

ARI’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 ARI’s assessment of its ability to meet its lease or interest obligations. ARI’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

ARI reported net income of $875,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, which included the following non-cash charges and credits: depreciation and amortization from real estate held for investment of $10.7 million, gain on sale of real estate of $36.7 million and equity in loss of equity investees of $4.1 million. Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $17.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, interest receivable increased by $4.7 million due to additional notes receivable from seller financings, other assets decreased by $2.5 million primarily due to sale of equity securities, interest payable

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

increased by $909,000 due to an increased balance of notes payable and other liabilities increased by $2.2 million primarily due to an increase in security deposits and property taxes.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $32.8 million was primarily due to real estate acquisitions of $10.6 million, payments made under interest rate swap contract of $31,000, additional fundings of notes receivable of $165,000, distributions to equity investees of $548,000, real estate improvements of $23.1 million, investments in real estate entities of $22.6 million, escrow and earnest money deposits of $1.4 million and purchases of pizza parlor equipment of $1.3 million. These outflows for investing activities were offset by the collection of $11.5 million on notes receivable, $54.7 million from the sale of real estate and $26.3 million from the sale of notes receivable.

Net cash used in financing activities of $18.5 million was comprised of proceeds received from the funding or refinancing of notes payable of $77.1 million and advances from affiliates of $9.4 million; offset by cash payments of $97.5 million to paydown existing notes payable, $3.9 million for financing costs and $1.2 million in dividends on Preferred Stock.

Single note, with all properties as collateral.

ARI has margin arrangements with various financial institutions and brokerage firms which provide for borrowing up to 50% of the market value of ARI’s marketable equity securities. The borrowings under such margin arrangements are secured by equity securities of IORI and TCI and ARI’s trading portfolio and bear interest rates ranging from 5.00% to 24.0%. Margin borrowing totaled $5.9 million at June 30, 2003.

Management expects that it will be necessary for ARI to sell $102.0 million, $34.1 million and $1.2 million of its land holdings during each of the next three years to satisfy the debt on such land as it matures. If ARI is unable to sell at least the minimum amount of land to satisfy the debt obligations on such land as it matures, or, if it was not able to extend such debt, ARI would either sell other of its assets to pay such debt or transfer the property to the lender.

Management reviews the carrying values of ARI’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

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

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 to the extent that the investment in the note exceeds management’s estimate of the fair value of the collateral property securing each note. The mortgage 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.

Related Party Transactions

In April 2003, ARI paid $2.0 million in principal and accrued interest to IORI, in partial payment of a note payable on the Rosedale Tower Office Building. See NOTE 6. “NOTES PAYABLE.”

On June 2, 2003, ARI exchanged all of its 674,971 IORI shares with BCM, receiving 650,000 TCI shares from BCM. In addition, BCM has executed a promissory note in favor of ARI in the amount of $526,000 (see NOTE 3. “NOTES RECEIVABLE”). After the exchange, ARI owned 72.9% of the outstanding shares of TCI. On June 30, 2003, ARI sold a participating interest in $5.8 million of its $15.5 million line of credit receivable from One Realco Corporation (“One Realco”) to BCM, receiving 314,141 TCI shares from BCM (see NOTE 3. “NOTES RECEIVABLE”). After the transaction, ARI owned 76.8% of the outstanding shares of TCI. ARI no longer directly owns any IORI shares. At June 30, 2003, ARI owned 18.4% of IORI through TCI’s ownership of IORI shares. ARI ceased consolidation of IORI’s accounts and operations effective June 2, 2003.

On June 30, 2003, ARI sold its 73.41% interest in RAK to Realty Advisors, a related party. The sales price was $6.0 million. Realty Advisors also paid ARI $600,000, representing 10% interest on the $6.0 million price paid by ARI to purchase the 73.41% interest in RAK in 2002. The $6.0 million sales price reduced ARI’s affiliate debt. The $600,000 interest was received in cash in August 2003.

Results of Operations

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, ARI reported net income of $875,000, compared to a net loss of $23.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The primary factors contributing to ARI’s net income are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Rents increased to $51.3 million and $72.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, from $19.8 million and $39.3 million in 2002. Rents from commercial properties increased to $27.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, from $12.8 million in 2002, rent from hotels increased to $15.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, from $13.3 million in 2002 and rent from apartments increased to $28.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, from $12.7 million in 2002. The increase in rents was primarily attributable to the consolidation of TCI’s operations by ARI effective March 31, 2003, following ARI’s acquisition of more than 50% of TCI’s common stock.

Property operations expense increased to $34.4 million and $49.6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, from $15.4 million and $30.1 million in 2002. Property operations expense for commercial properties increased to $15.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, from $7.9 million in 2002. For hotels, property operations expense increased to $11.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, from $10.0 million in 2002. For land, property operations expense decreased to $3.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $4.1 million in 2002. For apartments, property operations expense increased to $19.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, from $8.1 million in 2002. The increase in commercial, hotel and apartment

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

Results of Operations (Continued)

property operations expense was primarily attributable to the consolidation of TCI’s operations by ARI effective March 31, 2003, following ARI’s acquisition of more than 50% of TCI’s common shares. The decrease in land property operations expense was primarily attributable to decreased real estate taxes as a result of land sales in 2002.

Pizza parlor sales and cost of sales of $8.1 million and $6.4 million, respectively, in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and $15.9 million and $12.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 approximated the $8.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively, in the three months ended June 30, 2002 and $15.8 million and $12.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Interest income increased to $3.4 million and $5.6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 from $785,000 and $1.4 million in 2002. The increase was primarily attributable to the addition of $67.5 million of mortgage notes receivable in 2002.

Equity in income <loss> of investees improved to $264,000 and $<4.1> million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, from $<5.2> million and $<9.2> million in 2002. The decrease was primarily attributable to the consolidation of TCI’s operations by ARI effective March 31, 2003, following ARI’s acquisition of more than 50% of TCI’s common shares.

Loss on the sale of investments in equity investees was $531,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. See NOTE 4. “INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY INVESTEES.”

Other income of $244,000 and $252,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 approximated the $142,000 and $326,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2002.

Interest expense increased to $21.4 million and $31.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 from $14.1 million and $28.6 million in 2002. The increase is primarily attributable to the consolidation of TCI’s operations by ARI effective March 31, 2003, following ARI’s acquisition of more than 50% of TCI’s common shares.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $7.6 million and $9.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, from $2.3 million and $4.3 million in 2002. The increase is primarily attributable to the consolidation of TCI’s operations by ARI effective March 31, 2003, following ARI’s acquisition of more than 50% of TCI’s common shares.

Discount on sale of notes receivable was $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. This represents the discount from the face amount given by ARI to purchasers of notes receivable.

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

Results of Operations (Continued)

General and administrative expenses increased to $7.4 million and $10.7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, from $3.2 million and $6.5 million in 2002. The increase is primarily attributable to the consolidation of TCI’s operations by ARI effective March 31, 2003, following ARI’s acquisition of more than 50% of TCI’s common shares.

Advisory fees increased to $2.7 million and $4.7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 from $1.5 million and $3.3 million in 2002. The increase is primarily attributable to the consolidation of TCI’s operations by ARI effective March 31, 2003, following ARI’s acquisition of more than 50% of TCI’s common shares.

Net income fee to affiliate was $<452,000> in the three months ended June 30, 2003. There was no net income fee to affiliate in the six months ended June 30, 2003. The net income fee payable to ARI’s advisor is 10% of the year-to-date net income, in excess of a 10% return on shareholders’ equity. At June 30, 2003, ARI’s year-to-date net income is below the 10% return threshold.

Incentive fee to affiliate was $<261,000> in the three months ended June 30, 2003. There was no incentive fee to affiliate in the six months ended June 30, 2003. The incentive fee is only due if ARI is also subject to the net income fee. At June 2003, the net income fee requirements are not met; therefore, no incentive fee is due. This fee represents 10% of the excess of net capital gains over net capital losses from sales of operating properties. The amount of this fee for the remainder of 2003 will be dependent on the number of operating properties sold, the net capital gains realized and whether the net income fee is due.

Writedown of assets held for sale was $2.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. The carrying value of an office building in Encino, California, sold in the third quarter of 2003 was reduced to its net realizable value.

Minority interest of $720,000 and $1.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, approximated the $773,000 and $1.6 million in 2002.

Net income from discontinued operations increased to $11.7 million and $14.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 from $4.1 million and $12.6 million in 2002. The net income relates to 23 properties and leasehold interests in oil and gas properties that ARI

sold during 2002 and 20 properties that ARI sold in 2003. The following table summarizes revenue and expense information for the properties sold.

Net income from discontinued operations	$	11,705		$	4,114		$	14,379		$	12,632

Tax Matters

Financial statement income varies from taxable income principally due to the accounting for income and losses of investees, gains and losses from asset sales, depreciation on owned properties, amortization of discounts on notes receivable and payable and the difference in the allowance for estimated losses. ARI had no taxable income after the use of NOL carryforwards or provision for income taxes in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 or 2002.

At June 30, 2003, ARI had a net deferred tax asset of $110.7 million due to tax deductions available to it in future years. However, as management cannot determine that it is more likely than not that ARI will realize the benefit of the deferred tax asset, a 100% valuation allowance has been established.

Environmental Matters

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, ARI 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 ARI’s business, assets or results of operations.

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

Inflation

The effects of inflation on ARI’s operations are not quantifiable. Revenues from apartment operations fluctuate proportionately with inflationary increases and decreases in housing costs. Fluctuations in the rate of inflation also affect the sales values of properties and the ultimate gains to be realized from property sales. To the extent that inflation affects interest rates, earnings from short-term investments and the cost of new borrowings as well as the cost of variable interest rate debt will be affected.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

At June 30, 2003, ARI’s exposure to a change in interest rates on its debt is as follows:

	Balance		Weighted Average Interest Rate		Effect of 1% Increase In Base Rates
Notes payable:
Variable rate	$	231,019	7.345	%	$	2,310

Total decrease in ARI’s annual net income					$	2,310

Per share					$	.21

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, ARI carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of ARI’s management, including ARI’s Acting Principal Executive Officer and principal accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of ARI’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon the evaluation, ARI’s Acting Principal Executive Officer and principal accounting officer concluded that ARI’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting him to material information relating to ARI (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in ARI’s periodic SEC filings.

(b)

There have been no significant changes in ARI’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect ARI’s internal controls subsequent to the date ARI carried out this evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Matisse. In August 2002, ARI obtained a favorable jury verdict in the legal action entitled American Realty Trust v. Matisse Partners, L.L.C. (“Matisse”). However, the judge set aside the jury verdict and imposed a judgment against ARI in excess of $6.0 million, including interest. The judgment is being appealed, and, in the opinion of ARI’s management and legal counsel, there is a reasonable probability that the adverse judgment will be set aside and the jury verdict reinstated. Therefore, ARI has not recognized any expense nor established any reserve for this judgment. In November 2002, ARI posted a $6.0 million supercedeas bond. In July 2003, ARI obtained a letter of credit, which was substituted for the $6.0 million bond. The $6.0 million cash was returned to ARI. In April 2003, an additional judgment was issued against ARI for $1.4 million in legal fees. ARI is also appealing this judgment and posted a $1.4 million bond in May 2003. ARI has not recognized any expense nor established any reserve for this additional judgment.

Sunset Management. In September 2001, ARI obtained a security loan in the amount of $20.0 million from Sunset Management, LLC (“Sunset”). ARI received net cash of $16.1 million after the payment of various closing costs and $3.4 million repayment of principal and accrued interest on an existing loan with the same lender. Of the total loan amount, $19.5 million bears interest at 24% per annum, while the remaining $500,000 bears interest at 20% per annum. The loan is secured by 3,672,305 shares of TCI common stock held by Basic Capital Management, Inc. (“BCM”) and wholly-owned subsidiaries of ARI. The loan required monthly payments of interest only and matured in September 2002. In September 2002, $15.0 million in principal was repaid. Sunset orally agreed in September 2002 to extend the maturity date of the loan and accept substitute collateral for the shares of TCI common stock after the $15.0 million paydown. Sunset did not honor the agreement, which resulted in litigation filed in Texas state court during October 2002, styled American Realty Trust, Inc., ART Williamsburg, Inc., Basic Capital Management, Inc. and EQK Holdings, Inc. v. Sunset Management, LLC, et al., Cause No. 02-09433-I pending in the 162nd Judicial Court of Dallas County, Texas (the “Texas Litigation”).

During January 2003, without notice to the plaintiffs in the Texas Litigation, Sunset instituted an action in a federal district court in Las Vegas, Nevada against Commonwealth Land Title (“Commonwealth”) seeking disposition of the TCI common stock held by Commonwealth as Pledge Holder. On January 31, 2003, after a Temporary Restraining Order was issued in the Texas Litigation, Sunset instigated a separate lawsuit in state court in Nevada styled Sunset Management, LLC v. American Realty Trust, Inc. et al., Case No. A462587 pending in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada (the “Nevada Litigation”). On February 12, 2003, the Nevada state court held a hearing on Sunset’s request for emergency relief and denied all Sunset’s requested relief and indicated that a stay of the Nevada Litigation may be appropriate, which stay of litigation (including claims against TCI) was granted on May 2, 2003. Notwithstanding the stay of the Nevada Litigation, Sunset continues to seek to relitigate the underlying fact issues already determined in the Texas Litigation and the Nevada Litigation through cross-claims and counterclaims in the Texas Litigation and a renewed motion for preliminary injunction and appointment of receiver over TCI in the Nevada Litigation.
