NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accordingly, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARI”), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of ARI’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

You should read these consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Certain balances for 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. Hereafter in this document, American Realty Investors, Inc. is referred to as ARI.

Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.

Effective January 1, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), the Company adopted SFAS No. 123-R using the modified prospective method. SFAS No. 123-R must be applied not only to newly awarded stock options but also to previously awarded stock options that were not fully vested on the Effective Date. All of ARI’s stock option grants were fully vested as of the Effective Date. Furthermore, ARI had no outstanding stock option grants that were modified or settled after the Effective Date; therefore, TCI will recognize no additional compensation costs for previously awarded stock option grants. In December 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated all stock option plans and has no intent at the present to reinstate any stock option programs.

EITF 04-5. At its June 2005 meeting, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, reached a consensus regarding Issue No. 04-5 (EITF 04-5), Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. EITF 04-5 was effective immediately for all newly-formed limited partnerships and for existing limited partnership agreements that are modified. The guidance is effective for existing limited-partnership agreements that are not modified no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The guidance provides a framework for addressing the question of when a general partner, as defined in EITF 04-5, should consolidate a limited partnership. The EITF has concluded that the general partner of a limited partnership should consolidate a limited partnership unless (1) the limited partners possess substantive kick-out rights as defined in paragraph B20 of FIN 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities , or (2) the limited partners possess substantive participating rights similar to the rights described in Issue 96-16, Investor’s Accounting for an Investee When the Investor has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders have Certain Approval or Veto Rights. The FASB has amended Statement of Position 78-9, Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures, and EITF 96-16, to conform and align with the guidelines set forth in EITF 04-5. There was no impact to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of EITF 04-5.

EITF 06-3. At its June 2006 meeting, the EITF ratified the consensus regarding Issue No. 06-3 (EITF 06-3), How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation). EITF 06-3 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier application permitted. The scope of EITF 06-3 includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer, and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added, and certain excise taxes. The consensus indicates that gross vs. net income statement classification of those taxes within its scope is an accounting policy decision. In addition, for taxes within its scope, the consensus requires the following disclosures: the accounting policy elected for these taxes and the amounts of the taxes reflected gross (as revenue) in the income statement on an interim and annual basis. We do not believe there will be an impact to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of EITF 06-3.

FIN 48. On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The standard also provides guidance on derecognizing, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of this standard. Only tax positions that meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, to our financial condition and results of operations from the adoption of FIN 48.

second note was unsecured, bore interest at 8.5 percent per annum, required monthly interest only payments, and matured in January 2005. The Purchaser extended this note to March 2005 by paying 1.0 percent of the outstanding principal balance as an extension fee and then extended the note an additional 30 days to April 2005 by paying an extension fee of 0.5 percent of the outstanding principal balance. Both loans were extended to October 2005 with the payment to ARI of a 2.0 percent extension fee. Both loans were paid in full, including unpaid interest, in October 2005.

In March 2005, ARI entered into an agreement to advance a third party $3.2 million for development costs relating to single-family residential lots in Austin, Texas. These advances are secured by membership interests in the borrower and a second lien on 1,092 acres of undeveloped land. The secured note bears interest at 10 percent, requires semi-annual interest payments, and matures in March 2008. In September 2005 the total amount authorized under this advance was increased to $5.0 million. As of March 31, 2006, ARI had advanced $3.2 million to the borrower. ARI also guaranteed an $18 million bank loan for the borrower which is secured by a first lien on the 1,092 acres of undeveloped land. In June 2005, ARI purchased the subsidiary of a related party for $4.1 million that holds two notes receivable from this third party totaling $3.0 and $1.0 million, respectively. These notes are secured by approximately 142 acres of undeveloped land and membership interests in the borrowers. The secured notes bear interest at 12.0 percent, have an interest reserve for payments that is added to the principal balance on a monthly basis, and matured in June 2005. Both loans were extended to September 2005 and upon maturity, both loan balances were paid under the advance referred to at the beginning of this paragraph. In March 2006, ARI acquired all of the interests in the borrower, including ownership of the Austin, Texas land. The land is secured by the $18 million first mortgage and a $3 million subordinated loan. In March 2006, ARI secured a development loan of $31.2 million (secured by the Austin, Texas land), of which $18 million was used to pay the existing first mortgage. The development loan matures in March 2008 and bears interest at Prime + 1 percent. The Company intends to develop the land for sale to single-family residential builders.

In December 2005, ARI sold 27.2 acres and 3.73 acres to a third party for $10.1 million and $1.4 million, and provided $7.6 million and $1.0 million of seller financing, respectively. Both notes bear interest at 8.0 percent per annum, require monthly interest only payments, and mature in December 2008. In January 2006, ARI sold both notes to a financial institution for full face value less closing costs, plus accrued interest. The financial institution has a Put Option that would require ARI to purchase both notes back under the following conditions: (1) failure to construct agreed upon roads on the property by December 2006; (2) there occurs any event of default by the buyer; (3) certain escrow deposits for the road completion are not sufficient to cover the cost of the road construction; (4) any amendment, modification or assignment of certain development and escrow agreements between ARI and the buyer; and (5) failure of ARI to deliver certain documents to the financial institution within a timely manner. ARI and other related parties have also guaranteed the full payment of the note balances, including any outstanding interest and costs incurred by the financial institution.

In December 2004, ARI sold the Centura Tower office building to a partnership and retained a 1 percent non-controlling general partner interest and a 4 percent limited partner interest. ARI has certain obligations to fund the partnership for rent abatements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other cash shortfalls. Through September 30, 2006, ARI has funded $3.6 million of these obligations, and has recorded a note receivable from the partnership. This note has no maturity date, requires no payments, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.0 percent per annum. The note will be paid out of excess cash flow or from sales proceeds, but only after certain partner preferred returns are paid.

In March 2002, ARI sold the 174,513 Sq. Ft. Hartford Office Building in Dallas, Texas, for $4.0 million, providing $4.0 million in seller financing as well as an additional $1.4 million line of credit for leasehold improvements all in the form of a first lien mortgage note. The note bears interest at a variable interest rate, currently 7.5 percent per annum, requires monthly interest only payments and matures in March 2007. As of June 2006, ARI has funded $896,000 of the $1.4 million line of credit. ARI determined during the third quarter of 2005 that it would classify this note as non-performing due to the lack of debt payments received and the probability that no debt payments would be received in the future. Effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, ARI no longer accrues interest on this note. The loan is not considered impaired due to management’s opinion that the fair value of the collateral is sufficient to cover the current loan balance and accrued interest at September 30, 2006.

In September 1999, and 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. In March 2000, the borrower made a $1.1 million payment. 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. In 2004, ARI initiated legal action to collect the note. In

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

August 2005, a settlement agreement was reached. The note was replaced with a new promissory note, also non-interest bearing, which is secured by a $1.5 million Agreed Judgment. The note calls for 36 monthly payments beginning in January 2006, with a balloon payment of $460,000 due in January 2009. ARI will continue to classify this note as non-performing even though payments have been received in 2006.

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 pay down and providing purchase money financing of $5.6 million. The note bears interest at 8.0 percent per annum and matures three years after the recording of the Deed of Trust. Interest was to begin accruing after improvements to the site were completed by ARI. The costs to ARI to complete the improvements, estimated to be $2.5 million, were accrued in 2002. By 2005 a portion of the improvements had been completed and the remaining accrual is $1.2 million at June 30, 2006. At March 2006, negotiations with the buyer to settle the obligations were underway. The remaining improvements were not expected to be completed before the settlement. In April 2006 a proposal was made to a bank to sell the note at a discount, but still in excess of the note receivable balance less accrued development costs. The proposed bank note will be guaranteed by ARI and other related parties. The note is classified as non-performing.

In December 2002, ARI sold a 238.0 acre tract of its Desert Wells land parcel for $23.8 million, receiving $321,000 after payment of closing costs and debt paydown and providing purchase money financing of $21.4 million. The first lien financing of $17.8 million bore interest at 8.0 percent per annum, matured in December 2004, and required payments beginning in March 2003. In March 2003, the note was sold to an unrelated party for $17.1 million plus accrued and unpaid interest. The buyer of the note has limited recourse against a 53 acre parcel of ARI’s Katrina land, in event of default by the borrower. ARI recognized a previously deferred gain of $15.0 million upon completion of the sale of the note. The second lien financing of $3.6 million bore interest at 8.0 percent per annum and matured on June 30, 2003. All principal and interest were due at maturity. In February 2005, the note was exchanged for 23.0 acres of land in Palm Desert, California. See NOTE 2. “REAL ESTATE.”

Related Parties. In March 2004, ARI sold a K-Mart in Cary, North Carolina to Basic Capital Management, Inc. (“BCM”) for $3.2 million, including the assumption of debt. ARI also provided $1.5 million of the purchase price as seller financing. The unsecured note bears interest at 2.0 percent over the prime rate, currently 9.0 percent and matures in April 2008.

In March 2004, ARI sold the Texstar Warehouse in Arlington, Texas to BCM for $2.4 million, including the assumption of debt. ARI also provided $1.3 million of the purchase price as seller financing. The unsecured note bears interest at 2.0 percent over the prime rate, currently 9.0 percent and matures in April 2008.

In October 2003, IORI sold the One Hickory office building in Farmers Branch, Texas with 202 acres of undeveloped land also located in Farmers Branch to an affiliate of ARI, as “replacement” property to accommodate a tax-deferred exchange for the ARI affiliate, for a total sales price of $37.2 million. IORI financed $36.1 million of the sales price with a note bearing interest at the rate of 5.49 percent per annum and maturing in June 2006. The $37.2 million sales price approximated IORI’s initial cost of acquiring the properties. Before the ARI affiliate was effectively dissolved in May 2006, the ARI affiliate sold One Hickory and the undeveloped land back to IORI for $37.2 million, effectively discharging IORI’s $36.1 million note receivable from ARI. The ARI affiliate paid interest to IORI monthly.

NOTE 6. NOTES PAYABLE

In July 2005, ARI secured a line of credit for $10.0 million for the acquisition and financing of land tracts. The line of credit bears interest at the prime rate plus 1.0 percent, which is currently 8.0 percent, requires interest only payments, and matures in three years. Each land tract funding has a $2.0 million limit on the loan amount, requires interest only payments at the line of credit’s variable rate, and has a maturity date of 18 months. The current amount available for use under the line of credit is $2.5 million.

In February 2005, ARI received a loan in the amount of $5.0 million. The note bears interest at 8.0 percent per annum, requires semi-annual interest payments, and matures in July 2006. The loan is collateralized by certain partnership interests that hold apartments owned by ARI. Anytime before maturity, the lender has the option to convert the outstanding loan balance into general and limited partnership units in each of the partnerships, subject to HUD approval.

In August 2006, ARI and IORI, as co-borrowers, obtained a loan commitment of up to $42.6 million loan from Metropolitan National Bank. The loan matures in August 2008 and bears interest at the rate of 8.6 percent per annum. The loan requires quarterly interest payments beginning in October 2006. The loan is secured by a) approximately 99 acres of land located in Dallas, Texas and owned by ARI and b) 202 acres of land located in Dallas, Texas which is owned by IORI. The loan is guaranteed by ARI. Proceeds of the new loan will be used to retire the existing debt on the collateral and to fund additional investments for ARI and IORI.

NOTE 7. STOCK-SECURED NOTES PAYABLE

ARI has margin arrangements with various financial institutions and brokerage firms, which provide for borrowings of up to 50.0 percent of the market value of marketable equity securities. ARI also has other notes payable secured by stock. The borrowings under such margin arrangements and notes are secured by the equity securities of IORI and TCI, and ARI’s trading portfolio securities and bear interest rates ranging from 9.5 percent to 24.0 percent per annum. Stock-secured notes payable and margin borrowings totaled $22.5 million at September 30, 2006 and $22.5 million at December 31, 2005.

Sunset Management LLC

On May 16, 2005, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, entered its Memorandum Opinion and Order and Judgment dismissing a purported stockholders’ derivative action filed October 5, 2004, filed by Sunset Management LLC (“Sunset”) against a number of entities, including the Company. The Court’s Judgment granted a Motion to Dismiss filed by the Defendants, including the Company, and ordered that Plaintiff Sunset take nothing by its suit. No appeal was timely filed, and the dismissal of this action became final. The Sunset Complaint was purportedly filed derivatively on behalf of the Company. With the Judgment dismissing the action, the Company is not at this time a direct party to any litigation involving Sunset.

Various separate legal proceedings continue to exist which involve matters between Sunset and ARI and BCM over a pledge as collateral for certain loans of a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company. At least five items of litigation have terminated involving substantially the same issues with all relief sought by Sunset in those proceedings being denied. Three cases continue, all pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas or the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas.

American Realty Trust, Inc., et al. v. Sunset Management LLC, et al., Adversary Proceeding No. 03-04256, was filed September 10, 2003, as an associated case to the case styled In Re: ART Williamsburg, Inc., Debtor, pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division, Case No. 4:03-43909-BTR-11. Sunset Management LLC v. American Realty Investors, Inc., et al. is now pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division, as Case No. 4:06-CV-00018. Both of these proceedings involve certain shares of Common Stock of the Company beneficially owned by BCM and ARI and its subsidiaries and matters emanating from certain loans in September 2001 to BCM and three subsidiaries of ARI, Sunset’s agreement to extend maturity dates and accept substituted collateral, arrangements which were not honored. Adversary Proceeding No. 03-04256 was removed to the Bankruptcy Court from a Texas state court originally filed October 2002 alleging breach of contract, misrepresentation, breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing and slander of title by Sunset which also sought certain declaratory relief against Sunset, as well as temporary and permanent anti-suit injunctions against Sunset.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Case No. 4:06-CV-00018 was originally filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, and originally sought to require conveyance by ARI and/or subsidiaries of certain pledged shares back to pledgors, ARI and BCM. Such matter was first transferred to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas as an adversary proceeding and then transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division.

ARI, American Realty Trust, Inc. (“ART”), a subsidiary of ART, and BCM are also the Plaintiffs in an action filed July 19, 2006 against Sunset and John Baldwin in the case styled American Realty Trust, Inc., et al. v. Sunset Management LLC and John Baldwin, now pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division, as Case No. 6:06-CV-00315. In this case, the Plaintiffs seek actual and exemplary damages against Sunset and John Baldwin, individually, for alleged violations of federal and state securities laws and rules promulgated thereunder, including an alleged unlawful and concealed plan to use a late fee provision in a note to obtain title to securities by manufacturing a default and purporting to foreclose on certain securities in a scheme, artifice and device to defraud the Plaintiffs, and the filing by Sunset of a false and misleading Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On August 14, 2006, Sunset filed a Motion to Dismiss the action pursuant to Rule 12b(6), and Rule 9(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In March 2006, ARI, through one of its subsidiary companies, borrowed $11.75 million secured by approximately 235 acres of land in Austin, Texas. The loan is guaranteed by ARI, Prime and certain other affiliated companies. The loan bears interest at an annual rate of 12.5 percent and matured in April 2006. The loan is currently being extended.

In January 2005, an affiliate made a $700,000 note payment on ARI’s behalf, reducing ARI’s affiliate receivable.

Cash advances either to or from ARI, through its advisor, Prime Income Asset Management LLC (“Prime”) are unsecured, generally do not have specific repayment terms and have been reflected in ARI’s financial statements as other assets or other liabilities. Effective July 1, 2005, ARI and Prime agreed to charge interest on the outstanding balance of funds advanced to or from ARI. The interest rate, set at the beginning of each quarter, is the prime rate plus 1 percent on the average daily cash balances advanced.

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 and other 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. Excluded from operating segment assets are assets of $216.9 million in 2006 and $141.1 million in 2005, 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 Akademia (Poland), which began operations in 2002.

Presented below are ARI’s reportable segments’ operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and segment assets at September 30, 2006 and 2005.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Liquidity. ARI’s principal liquidity needs are funding normal recurring expenses, meeting debt service requirements, funding capital expenditures, funding development costs not otherwise covered by construction loans and funding new property acquisitions not otherwise covered by acquisition financing. In 2006, ARI will rely on aggressive land sales, selected income producing property sales and, to the extent necessary, additional borrowings to meet its cash requirement.

Partnership Obligations. ARI is the limited partner in 11 partnerships that are currently constructing residential properties. As permitted in the respective partnership agreements, ARI presently intends to purchase the interests of the general and any other limited partners in these partnerships subsequent to the final completion of these construction projects. The amounts paid to buyout the non-affiliated partners are limited to development fees earned by the non-affiliated partners, and are set forth in the respective partnership agreements. The total amount of the expected buyouts as of September 30, 2006 is approximately $2.3 million. ARI is a non-controlling general and limited partner in a real estate partnership and is obligated to fund approximately $1.9 million through September 30, 2006, for certain partnership obligations.

Commitments. During 2002, Milano, then a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARI, sold two restaurants to a corporation owned in part by an officer of Milano. In conjunction with the sale of these restaurants, Milano 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 Milano. The amount of the debt outstanding that is subject to the guaranty is $788,000. In July 2003, ARI sold its interest in Milano to Gruppa for $18.5 million, receiving $7.4 million in cash after debt assumption and providing purchase money financing of $2.3 million. ARI owns 20.0 percent of Gruppa, thereby retaining a 20.0 percent interest in Milano. ARI remained the guarantor of $8.7 million of assumed debt and was one of the guarantors of $7.5 million in new debt obtained by Gruppa. The total remaining debt guaranteed is $13.0 million. Due to the debt guarantees and ARI’s continuing ownership interest in Milano, management has determined that this should be accounted for as a financing transaction.

Litigation. 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.

NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 13, 2006, the Company sold Oak Tree Square a 106,591 square foot apartment complex with 189 units located in Grandview, Missouri for $5.4 million. The company received $1.2 million and discharged $3.8 million in notes payable.

On or about October 25, 2006 ARI received approximate $30.0 million which represents a recovery of insurance proceeds related to the loss suffered as a result of Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005. The recent recovery brings the total ARI recovery as a result of Katrina to $49.2 million. These proceeds have been used to offset repair costs and loss of rents suffered as a direct result of Katrina as well as pay down debt associated with the three New Orleans properties and other debt owed by related parties. The company continues to negotiate with the insurance company for additional monies sought under the applicable insurance policy.

On October 27, 2006, the Company sold Williamsburg Hospitality House a 310,230 square foot hotel with 296 rooms located in Williamsburg, Virginia for $27.5 million. The Company received $10.3 million in cash and discharged a note payable of $16.5 million of which $5.8 million dollars was to an affiliated party.

In November 2006, Realty Advisors, Inc. (“RAI”), a privately owned affiliate of ARI acquired $1,820,000 shares, or approximately 34% of the outstanding common stock of SH Chemical Company Ltd. (“SH”). SH is a public company and its commons shares are traded on the Korean Stock Exchange under the symbol “002360”. The shares were acquired November 1-3, 2006. SH is headquartered in Seoul Korea. SH is a manufacturer of an expanded polystyrene (“EPS”) resin which is an expandable bead that contains an environmentally friendly blowing agent used for packaging and insulation board containers for agricultural and marine products. RAI funded the acquisition with a $7.5 million commercial bank loan and $7.7 million in cash. The loan is guaranteed by ARI and is secured by the SH common stock acquired, as well as 869,300 shares of common stock of TCI, a subsidiary owned by ARI.

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

WARNING CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

This Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, principally, but not only, under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We caution investors that any forward-looking statements in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and on assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions which do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors, that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. We caution you that, while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the factors listed and described at Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which investors should review. There have been no changes from the risk factors previously described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (the “Form 10-K”).

Other sections of this report may also include suggested factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time-to-time and it is not possible for management to predict all such matters; nor can we assess the impact of all such matters on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Investors should also refer to our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for future periods and current reports on Form 8-K as we file them with the SEC, and to other materials we may furnish to the public from time to time through Forms 8-K or otherwise.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. From time-to-time, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Real Estate Held for Investment

Real estate held for investment is carried at cost. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“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 less cost to sell 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 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 are 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.

Investments in Equity Investees

ARI may be considered to have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and investment policies of certain of its investees. Those investees are accounted for using the equity method. 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 investment and decreased by a proportionate share of the investee’s operating losses and distributions received.

Recognition of Rental Income

Rental income for commercial and residential property leases is recognized on a straight-line basis. For hotel properties, revenues for room sales and guest services are recognized as rooms are occupied and services are rendered.

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”), as amended by SFAS No. 144. Until the requirements of SFAS No. 66 for full profit recognition have been met, transactions are accounted for using the deposit, installment, cost recovery or financing method, whichever is appropriate. When ARI provides seller financing, gain is not recognized at the time of sale unless the buyer’s initial investment and continuing investment are deemed to be adequate as determined by SFAS 66 guidelines.

Non-performing Notes Receivable

ARI considers a note receivable to be non-performing when the maturity date has passed without principal repayment and the borrower is not making interest payments. Any new note receivable that results from a modification or extension of a note considered non-performing will also be considered non-performing, without regard to the borrower’s adherence to payment terms.

Interest Recognition on Notes Receivable

Interest income is not recognized 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

A valuation allowance is 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 investment in the note exceeds management’s estimate of fair value of the collateral securing such note.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of its notes receivable, marketable equity securities, 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 non-performing notes receivable, the estimated fair value of ARI’s interest in the collateral property was used. For marketable equity securities, fair value was based on the year-end closing market price of each security. For notes payable, the fair value was estimated using current rates for mortgages with similar terms and maturities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

ARI reported a net loss of $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, which included the following non-cash charges and credits: depreciation and amortization from real estate held for investment of $20.2 million gain on sale of real estate of $17.8 million, equity in income of equity investees of $232,000, and gain on foreign currency transaction of $4,000. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, interest receivable increased by $2.2 million primarily due to fewer payments received, other assets decreased by $11.9 million primarily due to decreases in prepaid expenses and deposit accounts, interest payable increased by $10.6 million due to an increase of cash payments on ARI’s notes payable, and other liabilities increased by $7.2 million primarily due to an increase in accrued expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities of $63.1 million was primarily due to real estate improvements of $22.2 million, acquisitions of real estate of $87.9 million, earnest money deposits of $10.8 million and funding of notes receivable of $1.8 million. These outflows for investing activities were offset by the collection of $11.9 million on notes receivable and $40.9 million from the sale of real estate.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $43.7 million is comprised of proceeds received from the funding or refinancing of notes payable of $122.6 million offset by cash payments of $74.6 million to paydown existing notes payable.

In the first nine months of 2006, ARI purchased seven apartment developments, and fifteen parcels of unimproved land for a total of $91.4 million. ARI paid $18.4 million in cash, including various closing costs, and incurred $64.9 million in debt. ARI also expended $52.7 million on property construction. For the remainder of 2006, ARI expects to spend an additional $118.9 million on property construction projects, of which $94.3 million will be funded by debt.

In the first nine months of 2006, ARI sold fourteen land parcels and four apartment complexes for a total of $64.2 million, receiving $25.4 million in cash and discharging $28.9 million in debt.

In the first nine months of 2006, ARI financed or refinanced seven land parcels, three office buildings, one shopping center and one apartment for a total of $84.7 million, discharging $46.1 million in debt and receiving $25.5 million in cash.

Table of Contents

ARI has margin arrangements with various financial institutions and brokerage firms which provide for borrowing up to 50 percent 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 9.0 percent to 24.0 percent. Margin borrowing totaled $22.4 million at September 30, 2006.

Management expects that it may be necessary for ARI to sell land holdings during the remainder of 2006 to satisfy the debt on such land as it matures. If ARI is unable to sell sufficient land to satisfy the debt obligations on such land as it matures, or, if it is not able to extend such debt, ARI intends to sell other of its assets, specifically income producing properties, to pay the debt.

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 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 March 2006, ARI, through one of its subsidiary companies, borrowed $11.75 million secured by approximately 235 acres of land in Austin, Texas. The loan is guaranteed by ARI, Prime and certain other affiliated companies. The loan bears interest at an annual rate of 12.5 percent and matured in April 2006. The loan is month-to-month bearing interest at 12.5 percent.

In January 2005, an affiliate made a $700,000 note payment on ARI’s behalf, reducing ARI’s affiliate receivable.

Commitments and Contingencies

ARI has contractual obligations and commitments primarily with regards to payment of notes payable and mortgages.

Results of Operations

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, ARI reported a net loss of $5.7 million and $14.2 million, respectively, as compared to net income of $15.4 million and a net income of $32 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. The primary factors contributing to ARI’s net loss are discussed in the following paragraphs.

The overall increase in rents of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 is due to additional rental income from the completion of new apartment construction projects, commercial property acquisitions, and increased occupancy in commercial properties. Rent income is anticipated to continue to increase as new apartment construction projects come to completion.

The overall increase in mortgage and loan interest expense of $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 2005 is due to new debt incurred from the completion of new apartment construction projects, acquisition of commercial properties, and additional interest from land loans due to new purchases.

A major contributing factor to the companies’ net loss of $14.2 million as compared to the net gain of $32.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 respectively is due to a $16.6 million decrease in gain on land sales and $31.4 million decrease in gains on real estate sales compared to the prior period.

The $11.1 million decrease in discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 2005 is due to the gain on the sale of two apartment complexes.

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 a loss for federal income tax purposes, after the use of net operating loss carryforwards, in the first nine months of 2006 and the first nine months of 2005; therefore, it recorded no provision for income taxes.

At September 30, 2006, ARI had a net deferred tax asset of $115.2 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 assets, 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.

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.
