NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2004 have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.

Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in TCI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the “2004 Form 10-K”).

Effective March 31, 2003, TCI financial results have been consolidated in the American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARI”) Form 10-Q and related consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2005, ARI owned 82.2% of the outstanding TCI common shares.

Stock-based employee compensation. TCI provides stock options to certain directors. TCI accounts for these stock options using the intrinsic method pursuant to the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and related interpretations. In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”), which amended SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). The new standard provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Additionally, the statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in the annual and interim financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. In compliance with SFAS No. 148, TCI has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangement as defined by APB 25. If TCI had elected to recognize compensation cost for the issuance of options to directors of TCI based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards consistent with the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income (loss) and income (loss) per share would have been impacted as follows:

NOTE 3. NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE

Unless noted, all of TCI’s notes receivables are secured by real estate assets, ownership in, or membership rights of the purchaser’s entity.

In September 2005, TCI sold 10 acres of raw land to a third party for $1.5 million and provided $1.1 million of the purchase price as seller financing. The secured note bears interest at 10%, requires monthly interest payments and matures in September 2008.

In March 2005, TCI 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 stock in the borrower and hold a second lien on the undeveloped land. The secured note bears interest at 10%, requires semi-annual payments, and matures in March 2008. In September 2005, the total amount authorized under this advance was increased to $5.0 million. As of September 30, 2005, TCI had advanced $3.2 million to the borrower. TCI also guaranteed, with full recourse to TCI, an $18 million loan for the borrower which loan is secured by a first lien on the undeveloped land. In June 2005, TCI purchased the subsidiary of a related party for $4.1 million that holds two notes receivable from this third party for $3.0 and $1.0 million, respectively. These notes are secured by approximately 142 acres of undeveloped land and membership interest in the borrowers. These secured notes bear interest at 12.0%, 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 December 2004, TCI sold the Centura Tower office building to a partnership and retained a 1% non-controlling general partner interest and a 4% limited partner interest. TCI has certain obligations to fund the partnership for certain rent abatements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other cash shortfalls. Through September 30, 2005, TCI has funded $1.7 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% 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 October 2004, TCI sold the In the Pines apartments to a third party and provided $1.0 million of the purchase price as seller financing in the form of two notes. The first note bears interest at 7.0% per annum, required monthly interest payments and matured in January 2005. The Purchaser extended this note to March 2005 by paying 1.0% 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% of the outstanding principal balance. In the event of a default, the note is also secured by membership rights in the purchaser’s entity. The second note is unsecured, bears interest at 8.5% per annum, requires monthly interest payments, and matured in January 2005. The Purchaser extended this note to March 2005 by paying 1.0% of the outstanding principal balance as an extension fee and extended the note an additional 30 days to April 2005 by paying an extension fee of 0.5% of the outstanding principal balance. Both loans were extended to October 2005 with the payment to TCI of a 2.0% extension fee. Both loans were paid in full, including unpaid interest, in October 2005.

In July 2003, TCI agreed to advance $1.1 million to the Class A Limited Partners of TCI Countryside L.P. by advancing $105,000 in July 2003 and every year thereafter for ten years. This loan bears interest at 7.25% and matures in July 2012. As of September 2005, TCI had advanced $315,000. In October 2005, TCI agreed to settle the remaining obligations under this loan by paying a lump sum of $425,000, making the total advanced $740,000. After January 2007, TCI may retire the Class A Limited Partners interest in exchange for cancellation of the note.

In August 2001, TCI agreed to fund up to $5.6 million secured by a second lien on an office building in Dallas, Texas. The note receivable bore interest at a variable rate (then 9.0% per annum), required monthly interest only payments, and originally matured in January 2003. TCI funded a total of $4.3 million on this note. On January 22, 2003, TCI agreed to extend the maturity date to May 1, 2003. The collateral used to secure TCI’s second lien was seized by the first lien holder. On March 11, 2004, TCI agreed to accept an assignment of claims in litigation as additional security for the note. In December 2004, TCI agreed to a Modification Agreement with the borrower, which was effective November 1, 2003. As of the modified effective date, accrued interest of $582,000 was added to the principal balance of the note, the interest rate fixed at 9.0% per annum and all principal and interest is due November 2005. TCI also received Pledge and Security Agreements in various partnership interests belonging to the borrower and received various Assignments of Proceeds from sales in certain entities owned by the borrower. TCI reduced accrued interest and principal by $1.5 million from the receipt of notes receivable assigned to TCI by borrower and by $605,000 from cash received. TCI also received $1.4 million in January 2005 that was applied to accrued interest and principal effective December 30, 2004.

In March 2002, TCI sold the 174,513 Sq.Ft. Hartford Office Building in Dallas, Texas, for $4.0 million and provided the $4.0 million purchase price as seller financing and an additional $1.4 million line of credit for leasehold improvements in the form of a first lien mortgage note. The note bears interest at a variable interest rate, currently 7.5% per annum, requires monthly interest only payments and matures in March 2007. As of September 2005, TCI has funded $896,000 of the additional line of credit. TCI determined during the third quarter to classify this note as non-performing due to the lack of cash received and the probability that no cash will be received in the future. Effective for the quarter ending September 30, 2005, TCI will no longer accrue interest income on this note. This loan is not considered impaired due to the fair value of the collateral being sufficient to cover the current loan balance and accrued interest at September 30, 2005.

In July 2002, TCI entered into an agreement to fund up to $300,000 under a revolving line of credit secured by 100% interest in a partnership of the borrower. The line of credit bears interest at 12.0% per annum, requires monthly interest only payments, and matured in June 2005. This loan was extended to June 2006 in the second quarter of 2005 and was subsequently modified in the fourth quarter 2005. This second modification extends the loan maturity to October 2007 and limits any advances under the line of credit to $25,000 per month. As of September 2005, the borrower had $211,000 of available credit under the credit limit.

Related Party. In October 2004, TCI sold the Durham Centre in Durham, North Carolina to a partnership, of which the managing general partner is a subsidiary of ARI, for $21.3 million for cash and an all-inclusive wrap-around note of $14.5 million. The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.63%, requires monthly interest payments and matures in September 2007. TCI also made a loan to the partnership for $3.3 million. The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.63%, requires monthly interest payments and matures in September 2017.

In March 2004, TCI sold a K-Mart in Cary, North Carolina to BCM for $3.2 million, including the assumption of debt. TCI also provided $1.5 million of the purchase price as seller financing. The unsecured note bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% (which is currently 9.0%), and matured in April 2005. This note was extended to April 2008.

In March 2004, TCI sold the Texstar Warehouse in Arlington, Texas to BCM for $2.4 million, including the assumption of debt. TCI also provided $1.3 million of the purchase price as seller financing. The unsecured note bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% (which is currently 9.0%), and matured in April 2005. This note was extended to April 2008.

In February 2004, TCI recorded the sale of a tract of Marine Creek land originally sold to a related party in December 2003. This transaction was not recorded as a sale for accounting purposes in December 2003 and was recorded as a TCI refinancing transaction in February 2004. TCI received $1.2 million in cash from the related party in February 2004 as payment on the land. TCI still had a note receivable balance of $270,000 that bore interest at 12.0% and matured in April 2009. This note was paid in full, including accrued interest, in August 2004. TCI recorded the sale of the Marine Creek land tract due to the payment received on the note receivable.

In January 2002, TCI purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of ART Two Hickory Corporation (“Two Hickory”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARI for $4.4 million cash. Two Hickory owns the 96,217 sq. ft. Two Hickory Centre Office Building in Farmers Branch, Texas. ARI guaranteed that the asset shall produce at least a 12.0% annual return of the purchase price for a period of three years from the purchase date. If the asset fails to produce the 12.0% annual return, ARI shall pay TCI any shortfall. In addition, if the asset fails to produce the 12.0% return for a calendar year and ARI fails to pay the shortfall, TCI may require ARI to repurchase the shares of Two Hickory for the purchase price. Because ARI guaranteed the 12.0% return and TCI had the option of requiring ARI to repurchase the entities, management has classified this related party transaction as a note receivable from ARI. In June 2002, the asset was refinanced. TCI received $1.3 million of the proceeds as a principal reduction on its note receivable from ARI. In January 2005, TCI completed the purchase of Two Hickory by recording the asset and removing the note receivable from ARI.

In April 2002, TCI purchased 100% of the following entities: ART One Hickory Corporation (“One Hickory”), Garden Confederate Point, LP (“Confederate Point”), Garden Foxwood, LP (“Foxwood”), and Garden Woodsong, LP (“Woodsong”), all previously wholly-owned subsidiaries of ARI for $10.0 million. One Hickory owns the 120,615 sq. ft. One Hickory Centre Office Building in Farmers Branch, Texas. Confederate Point owns the 206 unit Confederate Apartments in Jacksonville, Florida. Foxwood owns the 220 unit Foxwood Apartments in Memphis, Tennessee. Woodsong owned the 190 unit Woodsong Apartments in Smyrna, Georgia. ARI guaranteed that these assets shall produce at least a 12.0% return annually of the purchase price for a period of three years from the purchase date. If the assets collectively fail to produce the 12.0% return, ARI shall pay TCI any shortfall. In addition, if the assets fail to produce the 12.0% return for a calendar year and ARI fails to pay the shortfall, TCI may require ARI to repurchase the entities for the purchase price. Because ARI guaranteed the 12.0% return and TCI had the option of requiring ARI to repurchase the entities, management had classified this related party transaction as a note receivable from ARI. In July 2002, the Woodsong Apartments were sold. TCI received $2.8 million from the proceeds as payment of principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the note receivable. In October 2003, TCI sold One Hickory to Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (“IORI”) for $12.2 million, less prorations, for a wraparound promissory note of $12.0 million. This note bears interest at 5.49% interest, requires monthly interest and principal payments, and matures in June 2006. This transaction effectively discharged the note receivable TCI had from ARI for the financing of One Hickory. Also, in November 2003, Confederate Point sold the Confederate Apartments and paid $2.1 million to TCI to pay off the loan and accrued but unpaid interest. In April 2005, TCI completed the purchase of the Foxwood Apartments by recording the asset and removing the note receivable from ARI.

NOTE 5. MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES

TCI owns equity securities of Realty Korea CR-REIT Co., Ltd. No. 1 representing approximately a 9.2% ownership interest. This investment is considered an available-for-sale security. TCI recognized an unrealized gain of $927,000 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2005 due to an increase in market price.


NOTE 6. RELATED PARTIES

On September 19, 2002, TCI’s Board of Directors authorized the Chief Financial Officer of TCI to advance funds either to or from TCI, through the advisor, Prime Income Asset Management LLC (“Prime”), in an amount up to $15.0 million on the condition that such advances shall be repaid in cash or transfers of assets within 90 days. These advances are unsecured and generally have not had specific repayment terms and have been reflected in TCI’s financial statements as other assets and other liabilities. Effective July 1, 2005, TCI and the advisor agreed to charge interest on the outstanding balance of funds advanced to or from TCI. The interest rate, set at the beginning of each quarter, is the prime rate plus 1% on the average daily cash balances advanced.

In August 2005, TCI sold 8.753 acres to an affiliate for $6.7 million. For a period of one year following closing and 90 days thereafter, the buyer has the right to convey the land to TCI for the original sales price, plus a 12% preferred return per annum accruing from the closing date. This transaction has been treated as a financing by TCI, with a note payable of $6.7 million recorded.

In June 2005, TCI purchased a subsidiary of a related party for $4.1 million, decreasing the affiliate receivable by $4.1 million.

In September 2004, TCI sold 9.96 acres of land to an affiliate for a purchase price of $720,000. Due to no cash received, TCI has elected to continue consolidating this tract of land until the requirements for a sale have been met.

In June 2004, TCI purchased 17.115 acres of land from an affiliate with a net purchase price of $4.5 million, decreasing the affiliate receivable balance by $4.5 million.

In June 2004, TCI sold apartments to an affiliate with a net purchase price of $5.0 million, increasing the affiliate receivable balance by $5.0 million.

In June 2004, TCI refinanced an office building and two parcels of land. TCI paid off an existing note payable for ARI for $1.9 million, increasing the affiliate receivable balance by $1.9 million.

In May 2004, TCI purchased the Treehouse Apartments from an affiliate with a net purchase price of $7.5 million for the assumption of debt and a note receivable, less cash received of $498,000. The note receivable was from the sale of the Cliffs of El Dorado Apartments to a related party in 2003. At that time, the sale of the Cliffs of El Dorado Apartments was not recorded as a sale for accounting purposes. TCI recorded the sale of the Cliffs of El Dorado in May 2004 due to payment received for the Cliffs of El Dorado note receivable.

In February 2004, TCI received a loan for $1.0 million used for the purchase of land by ARI, increasing the affiliate receivable balance by $1.0 million.

TCI received $1.2 million in cash from the related party in February 2004 as payment on the land. TCI still had a note receivable balance of $270,000 that bore interest at 12.0% and matured in April 2009. This note was paid in full, including accrued interest, in August 2005.

At September 30, 2005, TCI’s other assets includes $1.2 million due from an affiliate for rent. In addition, at September 2005, TCI owed $711,000 to Regis Property Management for management fees and sales commissions.

Returns on Metra Properties. In April 2002, TCI sold 12 apartment properties 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, then a Director of ARI, a related party, controlled approximately 11.67% of the outstanding common stock of Innovo. Management determined to treat the sales as financing transactions, and TCI continues to report the assets and the new debt incurred by Metra on its financial statements. The partnership agreements for each of these partnerships state that the Metra Partners, as defined, receive cash flow distributions at least quarterly in an amount sufficient to provide them with a 15% cumulative compounded annual rate of return on their invested capital, as well as a cumulative compounded annual amount of 0.50% of the average outstanding balance of the mortgage indebtedness secured by any of these properties. These distributions to the Metra Partners have priority over distributions to
any other partners. In August 2004, ARI, TCI, and IORI instituted an action in Texas State District Court regarding the transaction. During April 2005, resolution of the litigation occurred, settling all liabilities remaining from the original partnership arrangements which included a return of investor equity, cessation of preferential returns, prospective asset management fees and miscellaneous fees and transactions costs from the Plaintiffs as a prepayment of a preferred return, along with a delegation of management and corresponding payment of management fees to Prime, and a motion to dismiss the action as a part of the resolution. Of the prepayment, the Company recognized expenses of $462,000 and a reduction in liabilities of $2.1 million during the second quarter of 2005.


NOTE 7. NOTES AND INTEREST PAYABLE

In July 2005, TCI secured a line of credit for $10.0 million for the acquisition and financing of land tracts.

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 May 2005, TCI received a loan in the amount of $4.0 million.

(6) The Addison Hangers were sold in September 2004 to a third party but were then leased back for 10 years on a triple net lease  basis. This transaction has been recorded as a financing transaction for accounting purposes.
(7) The Majestic Inn, 225 Baronne Office Building and Amoco Office Building are cross collateralized. The debt incurred on 225  Baronne and Amoco are 2nd lien loans.


NOTE 8. OPERATING SEGMENTS

Significant differences among the accounting policies of the operating segments as compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements principally involve the calculation and allocation of administrative expenses. Management evaluates the performance of each of the operating segments and allocates resources to them based on their operating income and cash flow. Excluded from segment assets are assets of $132.1 million at September 30, 2005, and $98.7 million at September 30, 2004, which are not identifiable with an operating segment. There are no intersegment revenues and expenses and TCI conducted all of its business within the United States, with the exception of Hotel Akademia, a 161 room hotel in Wroclaw, Poland, which began operations in 2002.

NOTE 10. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

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

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, income from discontinued operations relates to 12 properties TCI sold or intends to sell in 2005 and 41 properties TCI sold during 2004 and 2005 or intends to sell sold in 2005. The following table summarizes revenue and expense information for the properties sold and held-for-sale.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Partnership Obligations. TCI is the limited partner in 11 partnerships that are currently constructing residential properties. As permitted in the respective partnership agreements, TCI 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 remaining at September 30, 2005 is approximately $2.3 million. TCI 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. In September 2005, TCI deposited $1.8 million with a seller for the purchase of partnership and member interests in 14 separate apartments and apartment developments located in the Southeast. Each partnership or membership purchase will be closed separately, pending lender approval and other conditions. TCI’s total cash investment can be up to $3.6 million if all interests are purchased.

Liquidity. The Company’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.  Management believes the Company’s liquidity needs will be satisfied by existing cash balances, cash flows generated by operations and provided by financing activities as well as cash provided from asset sales.

Litigation. TCI is involved in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is of the opinion that the outcome of these lawsuits will have no material impact on TCI’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Guarantees. In September 2005, TCI guaranteed a loan of $1.6 million for a related party. This loan is secured by a first lien on 22.3 acres of land held by the related party.

In February 2004, various subsidiaries of TCI guaranteed a $10 million line of credit for its parent, ARI. The subsidiaries of TCI also pledged and assigned assets, in the form of securities and partnership interests in construction properties, as additional collateral for this line of credit.

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



WARNING CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and TCI’s 2004 Form 10-K, referred to herein, contain forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and federal securities laws. These statements concern the intent, belief or expectations of TCI’s officers with respect to TCI’s ability to lease its properties, tenant’s ability to pay rents, purchase of additional properties, ability to pay interest and debt principal and make distributions, policies and plans regarding investments and financings, and other matters. Also, words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, or similar expressions identify forward looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by the forward looking statements as a result of various factors. Such factors include, without limitation, the impact of changes in the economy and the capital markets on TCI and its tenants, competition within the real estate industry or those industries in which its tenants operate, and changes in federal, state, and local legislation. For example: Some of TCI’s tenants may not renew expiring leases and TCI may be unable to locate new tenants to maintain the historical occupancy rates of the properties; rents which TCI can achieve at its properties may decline; tenants may experience losses and become unable to pay rents; and TCI may be unable to identify or to negotiate acceptable purchase prices for new properties. These results could occur due to many different circumstances, some of which, such as changes in TCI’s tenants’ financial conditions or needs for leased space, or changes in the capital markets or the economy, generally, are beyond TCI’s control. Forward looking statements are only expressions of TCI’s present expectations and intentions. Forward looking statements are not guaranteed to occur, and they may not occur. You should not place undue reliance upon forward looking statements.

Introduction

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

Critical Accounting Policies

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

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

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

TCI’s management periodically discusses criteria for estimates and disclosures of its estimates with the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors.

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



Liquidity and Capital Resources

TCI reported a net loss of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, which included the following non-cash charges: depreciation and amortization of $14.2 million, equity in earnings of equity investees of $976,000, gain on sale of real estate of $19.9 million, gain on foreign currency transaction of $265,000, and provisions for asset impairment of $3.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, TCI reported a net loss of $11.5 million, which included the following non-cash charges: depreciation and amortization of $18.8 million, equity in earnings of investees of $1.7 million, gain on sale of real estate of $15.3 million, gain on foreign currency transaction of $1.8 million, and provisions for asset impairment of $4.5 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $1.5 million, due to a decrease in interest receivable of $1.3 million from interest payments made during 2005 and an increase in other liabilities of $6.3 million due to increases in payables and accrued expenses.

Also for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net cash used in investing activities was $85.5 million primarily due to real estate construction and improvements of $32.5 million, payments for real estate acquisitions of $91.6 million, deposits on pending purchases of $5.2 million and additional fundings on notes receivable of $3.1 million. These outflows for investing activities were offset by the collection of $4.0 million on notes receivable and proceeds from sale of real estate of $42.6 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $68.5 million was due to proceeds received from the funding or refinancing of notes payable of $123.1 million; offset by cash payments of $51.7 million to paydown existing notes payable, $1.6 million for financing costs and $1.2 million in payments made to the advisor.

In the first nine months of 2005, TCI sold four office buildings, one industrial warehouse, and four land parcels for a total of $49.1 million, receiving $22.3 million in cash and discharging debt of $21.0 million after the payment of various closing costs.

Also in the first nine months of 2005, TCI financed or refinanced three apartments, one office building, one shopping center, a hotel and four parcels of land for a total of $23.7 million, discharging $14.7 million in debt and receiving $7.9 million in cash.

Further in the first nine months of 2005, TCI purchased one apartment, three apartment developments, three office buildings and twelve parcels of unimproved land for $106.0 million. TCI paid $33.8 million in cash, including various closing costs and incurred or assumed $70.9 million in debt. TCI also incurred $29.6 million on property construction, of which $26.2 million was funded by debt. For the remainder of 2005 and the first half of 2006, TCI expects to spend an additional $69.7 million on property construction projects, of which $66.1 million will be funded by debt.

Management reviews the carrying values of TCI’s properties and mortgage notes receivable at least annually and whenever events or a change in circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. Impairment is considered to exist if, in the case of a property, the future cash flow from the property (undiscounted and without interest) is less than the carrying amount of the property. For notes receivable, impairment is considered to exist if it is probable that all amounts due under the terms of the note will not be collected. If impairment is found to exist, a provision for loss is recorded by a charge against earnings. The mortgage note receivable review includes an evaluation of the collateral property securing each note. The property review generally includes: (1) selective property inspections; (2) a review of the property’s current rents compared to market rents; (3) a review of the property’s expenses; (4) a review of maintenance requirements; (5) a review of the property’s cash flow; (6) discussions with the manager of the property; and (7) a review of properties in the surrounding area.

Related Party Transactions

In August 2005, TCI sold 8.753 acres to an affiliate for $6.7 million. For a period of one year following closing and 90 days thereafter, the buyer has the right to convey the land to TCI for the original sales price, plus a 12% preferred return per annum accruing from the closing date. This transaction has been treated as a financing by TCI, with a note payable of $6.7 million recorded.

In June 2005, TCI purchased a subsidiary of a related party for $4.1 million, decreasing the affiliate receivable by $4.1 million.

In April 2005, TCI completed the purchase of the Foxwood Apartments from ARI for the assumption of debt and satisfaction of a note receivable from ARI.

In January 2005, TCI completed the purchase of the Two Hickory office building from ARI for the assumption of debt and satisfaction of a note receivable from ARI.

Commitments and Contingencies
 
TCI has contractual obligations and commitments primarily with regards to payment of mortgages.

In September 2005, TCI guaranteed a loan of $1.6 million for a related party. This loan is secured by a first lien on 22.3 acres of land held by the related party.

In June 2005, TCI deposited $1.8 million with a seller for the purchase of partnership and member interests in 14 separate apartments and apartment developments located in the Southeast. Each partnership or membership purchase will be closed separately, pending lender approval and other conditions. TCI’s total cash investment can be up to $3.6 million if all interests are purchased.

Results of Operations

TCI had a net loss of $3.6 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to a net loss of $10.6 million and $11.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. Fluctuations in this and other components of revenues and expense between the 2005 and 2004 periods are discussed below.

Rents for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased to $28.0 million as compared to $22.1 million in 2004. This increase is mainly due to additional rental income from the completion of new apartment construction projects and from increased occupancy and room revenues from TCI’s hotels.

Rents for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased to $76.2 million as compared to $62.9 million in 2004. This increase is mainly due to additional rental income from the completion of new apartment construction projects and from increased occupancy and room revenues from TCI’s hotels.

Property operations expense increased to $17.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $14.3 million in 2004. This increase is mainly due to the completion of new apartment construction projects, offset by lower commercial variable expenses due to lower occupancies.

Property operations expense increased to $48.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $40.5 million in 2004. This increase is mainly due to the completion of new apartment construction projects, offset by lower commercial expenses due to lower occupancies.

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from $3.7 million in 2004. The decrease was mainly due to an adjustment made to the depreciable life of a commercial property, offset by increased apartment depreciation due to new apartment projects being completed.

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, from $11.3 million in 2004. The decrease was mainly due to an adjustment made to the depreciable life of a commercial property, offset by increased apartment depreciation due to new apartment projects being completed.

General and administrative expenses were $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, which approximated the $1.6 million in 2004.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, from $5.6 million in 2004. The decrease was mainly due to lower state and franchise income tax expense and lower professional and consulting fees.

Advisory fees were $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, which approximated the $1.7 million in 2004.

Advisory fees increased to $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, from $4.9 million in 2004. The increase was due to higher gross assets over that time period. The calculation of the advisory fee is based upon TCI’s gross assets, after certain adjustments.

Interest income increased to $792,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $625,000 in 2004. The increase is primarily due to additional interest from an increase in the outstanding notes receivable balances and from additional interest on variable rate notes due to increases in the prime rate during 2005.

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


Interest income increased to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $2.2 million in 2004. The increase is primarily due to additional interest from an increase in the average outstanding notes receivable balances and from additional interest on variable rate notes due to increases in the prime rate during 2005.

Gain on foreign currency transaction was $37,000 and $265,000 for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2005, compared to $543,000 and $1.8 million in 2004. Hotel Akademia’s long-term debt is denominated in Euros and the translation of Euros into Polish Zlotys prior to being translated into US Dollars is recorded as a gain or loss on TCI’s statement of operations.

Interest expense increased to $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from $7.2 million in 2004. This increase is mainly due to new debt incurred from the completion of new apartment construction projects, plus additional interest from land loans due to new land purchases in 2004 and 2005.

Interest expense increased to $28.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, from $21.3 million in 2004. This increase is mainly due to new debt incurred from the completion of new apartment construction projects, plus additional interest from land loans due to new land purchases in 2004 and 2005.

For the three and nine months ending September 30, 2005, TCI recorded an asset impairment of $1.8 million representing the write down of certain operating properties to current estimated fair value. These assets include the following properties:

Property
Location
Units
Fair Value

Costs to Sell
Impairment
Land
           
Centura
Farmers Branch, TX
8.753 Acres
$12,025
$13,865
$1,840

Centura Land was appraised for its sale to IORI and the appraised value was used as the fair value. The costs to sell are estimated closing costs and commission paid by TCI.

Other income was $485,000 and $719,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. Other income represents dividends and extension fees received by TCI during 2005. There was no other income or expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004

Equity in earnings of investees was $976,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to equity in loss of equity investees of $1.7 million in 2004. ARI and IORI both recognized income from continuing operations for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 compared to losses from continuing operations for the nine months ending September 30, 2004.

Net income/(loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 from discontinued operations relates to 12 properties TCI sold or intends to sell in 2005 and 41 properties TCI sold during 2004 and 2005 or intends to sell in 2005.

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


Tax Matters

Financial statement income varies from taxable income principally due to the accounting for income and losses of investees, gains and losses from asset sales, depreciation on owned properties, amortization of discounts on notes receivable and payable and the difference in the allowance for estimated losses. TCI had a loss for federal income tax purposes in the first nine months of 2005 and a loss, after the use of net operating loss carryforwards, in the first nine months of 2004; therefore, it recorded no provision for income taxes.

At September 30, 2005, TCI had a net deferred tax asset of $39.8 million due to tax deductions available to it in future years. However, as management cannot determine that it is more likely than not that TCI will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, a 100% valuation allowance has been established.

Inflation

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

Environmental Matters

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, TCI may be potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other potential costs, relating to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property) where property-level managers have arranged for the removal, disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, certain environmental laws impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may seek recovery for personal injury associated with such materials.

Management is not aware of any environmental liability relating to the above matters that would have a material adverse effect on TCI’s business, assets, or results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, TCI carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of TCI’s Acting Principal Executive Officer and principal accounting officer, of TCI’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based upon that evaluation, TCI’s Acting Principal Executive Officer and principal accounting officer concluded that TCI’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have been no significant changes in TCI’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ending September 30, 2005, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, TCI’s internal control over financial reporting.
