NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (“TCI”, “We”, “The Company”, “Our” or “Us”) 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 owns a diverse portfolio of residential apartment communities, commercial properties, hotels and land. The Company currently owns approximately 12,850 units in 68 residential apartment communities, 25 commercial properties comprising over 4.9 million rentable square feet and four hotels. In addition, TCI owns over 6,500 acres of land held for development and currently has over 2,400 apartment units in 14 projects under construction. The Company currently owns operating properties or land in 20 states as well as in Poland and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Company is headquartered in Dallas, Texas and its common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TCI”. Approximately 82 percent of the Company’s common stock is owned by American Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE: ARL). Prime Income Asset Management, LLC (“Prime”) is the Company’s external advisor. Regis Realty I, LLC, an affiliate of Prime, manages the Company’s commercial properties. Regis Hotel I, LLC, another Prime affiliate, manages the Company’s hotel investments. TCI engages four third-party companies to lease and manage its apartment properties.

The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these periods have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year. The year end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statement and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Newly issued accounting standards. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on the Company’s cash flows, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses shall be reported on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating and assessing the impact of this statement.

In January 2007, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company acquired two office buildings projects in Farmers Branch, Texas known as Park West I and Park West II (subsequently renamed Browning Place and Fenton Centre, respectively) along with an adjacent 4.7 acre tract of undeveloped land at an aggregate purchase price of $110 million plus closing costs. The acquisition was financed in part with $97.0 million in two separate mortgage loans; a $35.0 million loan from an institutional lender which accrues interest at 6.06 percent maturing January 2013 (Park West II) and a $62.0 million loan from a commercial bank which accrues interest at Wall Street Journal Prime plus one percent maturing January 2009 (Park West I). Both loans are secured by the respective office buildings and are guaranteed by TCI.

In 2007, TCI sold two apartment communities and one office building for sales prices totaling $37.1 million, generating cash proceeds of $7.0 million and recognized gains of $8.1 million. The apartment properties were located in Lewisville, Texas and Texas City, Texas; the office building was located in Richmond, Virginia. In addition, TCI recognized previously deferred gains in the amount of $4.1 million related to the June 2007 sale of an office building in Durham, North Carolina.

In May 2007 we acquired 40.1 acres of land know as Hines Meridian in Las Colinas, Texas for $8.5 million. The acquisition was financed with $3.0 million cash and a new note for $5.0 million. The note accrues interest at 9.25 percent, is payable in installment of interest only for 12 months, then installment of principal and interest for 23 months and one final payment of all accrued, unpaid interest and the outstanding principal balance on maturity in May 2010.

In July 2007 we acquired 1.7 acres of land known as the Jackson Convention Center land for development. The acquisition was purchased with $3.9 million in cash generated through various refinancings.

TCI has formed a number of joint ventures with Icon Partners, LLC (“Icon”) to develop various residential, commercial and mixed-use projects. TCI typically owns 75 percent of these joint ventures, arranges for and guarantees all debt financing and provides all required equity capital. The terms of the joint ventures also allow TCI to receive its cumulative investment plus a preferred return before Icon receives any equity distribution. Icon provides various development and project management services to the joint ventures and is paid monthly developer fees for those services. At September 30, 2007, TCI had formed a total of eleven joint ventures with Icon to develop eleven projects. Total costs incurred to date, including land acquisition costs, for these eleven projects are $104.9 million, of which $94.9 million has been funded with land and construction loans from various commercial banks. At September 30, 2007, only one of the eleven projects was undergoing vertical construction – the 212 unit Portofino apartment project located within TCI’s Mercer Crossing development in Farmer’s Branch, Texas which will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2007. TCI includes these joint ventures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and records a minority interest for Icon’s equity in the ventures.

At September 30, 2007, TCI had the following properties under construction:

The Company is involved in the construction of 14 apartment development projects as of September 30, 2007. In addition, the Company invests in numerous tracts of land and is in the predevelopment on several of these properties. The Company partners with various third-party developers to construct residential projects. The third-party developer typically takes a general partner interest in the development partnership while the Company takes a limited partner (and majority) interest. The Company is required to fund all equity contributions. The third-party developer is responsible for obtaining financing, hiring a general contractor and for the overall management and delivery of the project and is compensated with a fee equal to a certain percentage of the construction costs. Initial equity contributions to development projects are recorded as investments in unconsolidated real estate entities. When vertical construction begins, the Company reclassifies the investment in unconsolidated real estate entities to construction in progress. Increases to construction in progress are recorded as development loans are funded and development costs are incurred. As projects near completion and begin to be leased, the Company records revenues as earned and expenses as incurred. When the occupancy of a developed project reaches stabilization, the Company acquires the general partner interest from the third-party developer and reclassifies the property from construction in progress to property held for investment.

TCI includes these joint ventures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and records a minority interest for Icon’s equity in the ventures.

NOTE 4. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE ENTITIES

Unconsolidated real estate entities. TCI’s investment in unconsolidated real estate entities at September 30, 2007 included equity securities of two publicly traded real estate entities, Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (AMEX: IORI) and ARI, related parties and interests in real estate joint venture partnerships. ARI is a related party that owns 82.2 percent of TCI’s common stock and consolidates TCI’s financial accounts and operations.

TCI accounts for its investment in IORI and the joint venture partnerships using the equity method. Garden Centura, L.P. is accounted for on the cost method.

TCI’s investment in real estate entities at September 30, 2007, was as follows:


Investee	Percentage of TCI’s Ownership at September 30, 2007		Carrying Value of Investment at September 30, 2007		Market Value⁽¹⁾ of Investment at September 30, 2007

In 2007, we financed the acquisition of two office buildings projects in Farmers Branch, Texas known as Park West I and Park West II (subsequently renamed Browning Place and Fenton Centre, respectively) for $97 million, See note 2.

TCI has formed a number of joint ventures with Icon Partners, LLC (“Icon”) to develop various residential, commercial and mixed-use projects, and construction draws are obtained. See note 2.

In 2007, TCI refinanced the existing debt on its three Chicago hotels. The loans were refinanced in three separate transactions with a single lender. On January 17, 2007, the Company refinanced the existing $3.6 million mortgage on the City Suites Hotel with a new loan of $7.3 million and received $3.8 million in proceeds. The new loan accrues interest at prime and matures in February 2012. Also, on March 5, 2007, TCI refinanced the existing $3.1 million loan on the Majestic Hotel with a new loan of $6.0 million and received $2.9 million in proceeds. The new loan bears an interest rate of 7.76 percent and matures in March 2010. On March 5, 2007, the Company refinanced the existing $3.4 million loan on the Willows Surf Hotel with a new $5.2 million loan and received $1.5 million in proceeds. The new loan bears an interest rate of 7.76 percent and matures in March 2010. The three loans are secured by the individual hotel properties, are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted and are guaranteed by TCI.

In September 2007, TCI refinanced the existing $13.1 million loan on the Amoco office building located in downtown New Orleans. The new loan from an institutional lender totaled $19.5 million and resulted in $4.6 million in proceeds. The new loan is secured by the office building, bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 400 basis points, matures September 2008 and is guaranteed by TCI.

In June 2007, TCI refinanced the existing $12.3 million debt on eight apartment properties in Midland and Odessa, Texas. The loans were refinanced with a single lender; totaled $33.2 million and generated $21.0 million in proceeds. The new loans bear interest at the rate of 7.03 percent per annum and mature in July 2037. The loans are secured by the individual apartment properties, are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted and are guaranteed by TCI. In addition, TCI refinanced the existing $3.6 million debt on two more apartment properties in Midland. The new loans from a commercial bank totaled $6.9 million and resulted in $1.6 million in proceeds. The two loans are secured by the individual apartment properties, bear interest at prime plus 100 basis points and matured in September 2007; the loans were subsequently extended to September 2008. Both loans are guaranteed by TCI.

In 2007, the Company obtained additional financing or refinanced existing loans on seven tracts of land containing a total of approximately 300 acres, virtually all of which is located in the greater Dallas/Ft. Worth area. The new loans totaled $26.8 million and generated $16.7 million in proceeds. The new loans have one-year maturities and bear interest at rates currently averaging approximately 10.5 percent.

In September 2007, affiliates of TCI refinanced $32.8 million of existing matured mortgage loans on three residential apartment communities located in Austin, Dallas and Lewisville, Texas and known as Limestone Canyon, Tivoli and Limestone Ranch, respectively. The new loans, all from a single lender, total $38.7 million, accrue interest at 5.95 percent per annum, mature in October 2042, are collateralized by the properties (but are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted). TCI received proceeds of $3.5 million from the refinancings. TCI carries these properties as “real estate subject to sales contract” based upon certain 2003 transactions (whereby TCI conveyed the three properties to subsidiaries of Unified Housing Foundation, an affiliated organization) which did not qualify as sales under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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. 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.

Presented below is the operating income of each operating segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and each segment’s assets at September 30, 2007.

NOTE 9. 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, 2007 and 2006, income from discontinued operations relates to properties TCI sold or intends to sell in 2007 as well as properties TCI sold during 2005 and 2006. The following table summarizes revenue and expense information for the properties sold and held for sale:

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Partnership Obligations. TCI is the limited partner in nine partnerships that are currently constructing residential properties. As permitted in the respective partnership agreements, TCI intends to purchase the interests of the general and any other limited partners in these partnerships subsequent to the completion of these projects. The amounts paid to buy out the non-affiliated partners are limited to development fees earned by the non-affiliated partners and are set forth in the respective partnership agreements.

Liquidity. Management believes that TCI will generate excess cash from property operations in 2007; such excess, however, will not be sufficient to discharge all of TCI’s obligations as they become due. Management intends to sell income producing assets, refinance real estate and obtain additional borrowings primarily secured by real estate to meet its liquidity requirements.

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

Guarantees. TCI generally guarantees all real estate secured loans for its consolidated subsidiaries.

NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 11, 2007, subsidiaries of TCI settled the Waters Edge litigation related to Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent dispute over proper allocation of insurance proceeds from that event. TCI received $28.2 million in insurance proceeds from the settlement. The litigation settles all matters related to the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, principally, but not only, under the captions “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “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 following:

•

general risks affecting the real estate industry (including, without limitation, the inability to enter into or renew leases, dependence on tenants’ financial condition and competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate);

•

risks associated with the availability and terms of financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments;

•

failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets or to integrate acquisitions successfully;

•

risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including, without limitation, construction delays, cost overruns, inability to obtain necessary permits and public opposition to such activities);

•

risks associated with downturns in the national and local economies, increases in interest rates and volatility in the securities markets;

•

costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other similar laws and regulations;

•

potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination;

•

risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed; and

•

the other risk factors identified in this Form 10-Q, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors.”

The risks included here are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors 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 risks and 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.

Overview

TCI is an externally advised and managed real estate investment company that owns a diverse portfolio of income-producing properties and land held for development. The Company’s portfolio of income-producing properties includes residential apartment communities, office buildings, hotels and other commercial properties. TCI’s investment strategy includes acquiring existing income-producing properties as well as developing new properties on land already owned or acquired for a specific development project. TCI acquires land primarily in in-fill locations or high-growth suburban markets. As of September 30, 2007, the Company owned approximately 12,850 units in 68 residential apartment communities (including four properties containing 1,096 units held for sale and three properties containing 702 units subject to sales contracts), 25 commercial properties comprising over 4.9 million rentable square feet and four hotels containing a total of 313 rooms. In addition, at September 30, 2007, TCI owned over 6,500 acres of land held for development and had over 2,400 apartment units in 14 projects under construction. The Company currently owns income-producing properties and land in 20 states as well as in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Wroclaw, Poland. TCI finances its acquisitions primarily through operating cash flow, proceeds from the sale of land and income-producing properties and debt financing primarily in the form of property-specific first-lien mortgage loans from commercial banks and institutional lenders. TCI finances its development projects principally with short-term, variable interest rate construction loans that are refinanced with the proceeds of long-term, fixed rate amortizing mortgages when the development project is completed and occupancy has been stabilized. The Company will, from time to time, also enter into partnerships with various investors to acquire income-producing properties or land and to sell interests in certain of its wholly-owned properties. When the Company sells assets, it may carry a portion of the sales price generally in the form of a short-term, interest bearing seller-financed note receivable. The Company generates operating revenues primarily by leasing apartment units to residents; leasing office, retail and industrial space to commercial tenants; and renting hotel rooms to guests. TCI is advised by Prime under a contractual arrangement that is reviewed and approved annually by TCI’s Board of Directors. TCI’s commercial properties are managed by Regis Commercial while the Company’s hotels are managed by Regis Hotel. TCI currently contracts with four third-party companies to manage the Company’s apartment communities. Approximately 82 percent of TCI’s common stock is owned by ARI; ARI is majority-owned by entities that are indirectly owned by a trust established for the benefit of the children of Gene E. Phillips (the “Trust”). TCI is a “C Corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and files an annual consolidated income tax return with ARI.

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

Prime is a single-member limited liability company. Certain officers of TCI also serve as officers of Prime. The single-member of Prime is a corporation 80 percent indirectly owned by the Trust; a corporation controlled by Mr. Phillips owns the remaining 20 percent. Prime owns approximately 12.4 percent of ARI. Mr. Phillips is not an officer or director of Prime or TCI, but serves only as a representative of the Trust and in that capacity has periodic consultation with the executive officers of Prime and TCI.

Selected transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 include the following:

Acquisitions –

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, TCI acquired almost 275 acres of land for development in ten separate transactions for $19.7 million plus closing costs. Five of the ten tracts (51.2 acres) were acquired in all cash transactions; five land acquisitions were financed in part with a total of $9.7 million in loans from commercial banks; generally, the loans have a maturity of one year or less, bear interest rates currently averaging 9.1 percent and are guaranteed by TCI. The largest land acquisitions include (a) 151 acres in Waco, Texas for $2.1 million plus closing costs; (b) 40 acres in Irving, Texas for $8.5 million plus closing costs and (c) 48 acres in Natchez, Mississippi for $519,000 plus closing costs. The Company purchased five tracts in Odessa, Texas, Denham, Louisiana and Jackson, Mississippi for near-term multi-family development.

In the second quarter 2007 TCI exchanged 82.2 acres of the “Denton Coonrod” tract (located in Denton, Texas) with an affiliated company, acquiring Thornwood Apartments in Midland, Texas as well as a note receivable from the affiliate in the amount of $1.6 million. The note receivable bears interest at the rate of prime plus 100 basis points and is due on demand. No gain or loss was recognized on the exchange.

Dispositions –

In addition, in 2007, TCI sold 22 acres of land in seven separate transactions for sales prices totaling $12.8 million, generating $3.8 million in cash proceeds and $5.8 million in recognized gains. The largest 2007 transactions were (a) the sale of 13.8 acres of the “McKinney Ranch” tract for $2.9 million, resulting in cash proceeds of $700,000 and a recognized gain of $1.1 million and (b) the sale of the 2.7 acre “West End” tract for $6.5 million, resulting in cash proceeds of $1.3 million and a recognized gain of $3.8 million.

Refinancings –

Apartment developments

At September 30, 2007, the Company had 14 apartment communities under construction. Seven of the projects are located in Texas; five properties are located in Mississippi while one property is located in Arkansas and one property is located in Tennessee. When completed, the 14 properties will contain a total of 2,401 units. Total land and construction costs are approximately $91,000 per unit. The Company expects to complete and deliver 1,400 units in 2007 with the remaining 1,000 units to be completed and delivered in 2008. The Company estimates lease-up time to stabilized occupancy for these projects to be approximately 18-24 months.

Joint ventures

TCI has formed a number of joint ventures with Icon Partners, LLC (“Icon”) to develop various residential, commercial and mixed-use projects. TCI typically owns 75 percent of these joint ventures, arranges for and guarantees all debt financing and provides all required equity capital. The terms of the joint ventures also allow TCI to receive its cumulative investment plus a preferred return before Icon receives any equity distribution. Icon provides various development and project management services to the joint ventures and is paid monthly developer fees for those services. At September 30, 2007, TCI had formed a total of eleven joint ventures with Icon to develop eleven projects. Total costs incurred to date, including land acquisition costs, for these eleven projects are $104.9 million, of which $94.9 million has been funded with land acquisitions and construction loans from various commercial banks. At September 30, 2007, only one of the eleven projects was undergoing vertical construction – the 212 unit Portofino apartment project located within TCI’s Mercer Crossing development in Farmer’s Branch, Texas, which will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2007.

TCI includes these joint ventures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and records a minority interest for Icon’s equity in the ventures.

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 information that is more current. 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

Upon acquisitions of real estate, TCI assesses the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets, including land, buildings, tenant improvements, “above-market” and “below-market” leases, origination costs, acquired in-place leases, other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and allocates the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including land at appraised value and buildings at replacement cost.

We assess and consider fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates, as well as available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. We also consider an allocation of purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquired in-place leases that may have a customer relationship intangible value, including (but not limited to) the nature and extent of the existing relationship with the tenants, the tenants’ credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. Based on our acquisitions to date, our allocation to customer relationship intangible assets has been immaterial.

We record acquired “above-market” and “below-market” leases at their fair values (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) equal to the difference between (a) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (b) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors to be considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, we consider leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.

Real estate is stated at depreciated cost. The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to the development of properties are capitalized. Capitalized development costs include interest, property taxes, insurance and other project costs incurred during the period of development.

Management reviews its long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impairment in value. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of its assets is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. If such impairment is present, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. If we determine that impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their face value.

SFAS No. 144 requires that qualifying assets and liabilities and the results of operations that have been sold, or otherwise qualify as “held for sale,” be presented as discontinued operations in all periods presented if the property operations are expected to be eliminated and the Company will not have significant continuing involvement following the sale. The components of the property’s net income that is reflected as discontinued operations include the net gain or loss upon the disposition of the property held for sale, operating results, depreciation and interest expense (if the property is subject to a secured loan). We generally consider assets to be “held for sale” when the transaction has been approved by our Board of Directors, or a committee thereof and there are no known significant contingencies relating to the sale, such that the property sale within one year is considered probable. Following the classification of a property as “held for sale,” no further depreciation is recorded on the assets.

A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. Our capitalization policy on development properties is guided by SFAS No. 34 “Capitalization of Interest Cost” and SFAS No. 67 “Accounting for Costs

and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Properties.” The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We cease capitalization on the portion (a) substantially completed and (b) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

Except for ownership interests in variable interest entities, TCI accounts for our investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures under the equity method of accounting because the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control, these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. Any difference between the carrying amount of these investments on the Company’s balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized as an adjustment to equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate ventures over the life of the related asset. Under the equity method of accounting, TCI’s net equity is reflected within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and our share of net income or loss from the joint ventures is included within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The joint venture agreements may designate different percentage allocations among investors for profits and losses; however, TCI’s recognition of joint venture income or loss generally follows the joint venture’s distribution priorities, which may change upon the achievement of certain investment return thresholds. For ownership interests in variable interest entities, the Company consolidates those in which we are the primary beneficiary.

Recognition of Rental Income

Rental income for commercial property leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. In accordance with SFAS 141, we recognize rental revenue of acquired in-place “above-market” and “below-market” leases at their fair values over the terms of the respective leases. On our Consolidated Balance Sheets, we include as a receivable the excess of rental income recognized over rental payments actually received pursuant to the terms of the individual commercial lease agreements.

Reimbursements of operating costs, as allowed under most of our commercial tenant leases, consist of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs, and are recognized as revenue in the period in which the recoverable expenses are incurred. We record these reimbursements on a “gross” basis, since we generally are the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, have discretion in selecting the supplier and have the credit risk with respect to paying the supplier.

Rental income for residential property leases is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as earned, which is not materially different than on a straight-line basis as lease terms are generally for periods of one year or less.

For hotel properties, revenues for room sales and guest services are recognized as rooms are occupied and services are rendered.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for all past due rents and operating expense reimbursements considered to be uncollectible.

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 TCI 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 No. 66 guidelines.

Non-performing Notes Receivable

TCI 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 TCI’s 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 TCI’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

TCI’s principal sources of cash have historically been and will continue to be

•

property operations;

•

proceeds from land and income-producing property sales;

•

the collection of mortgage notes receivable;

•

receivables from affiliated companies;

•

refinancing of existing mortgage notes payable and

•

additional borrowings, including mortgage notes payable, lines of credit and to a lesser extent, distributions from partnerships. TCI may also issue additional equity securities, including common stock and preferred stock.

TCI’s principal liquidity needs over the next twelve months include

•

funding normal recurring expenses and obligations;

•

funding current development costs not covered by construction loans;

•

meeting debt service requirements, including loan maturities;

•

funding capital expenditures;

•

funding acquisition costs for land and income-producing properties not covered by acquisition financing and

•

funding preferred dividends.

Management anticipates that TCI’s available cash at September 30, 2007, along with cash that will be generated during the remainder of 2007 from property operations, may not be sufficient to meet all of TCI’s cash requirements. Management intends to selectively sell land and income producing assets, refinance or extend real estate debt and seek additional borrowings secured by real estate to meet its liquidity requirements. Historically, management has been successful at extending a portion of the Company’s current maturity obligations. Management also anticipates funding ongoing real estate development projects and the acquisition of new real estate from cash generated by sales of land and income-producing properties, debt refinancings or extensions and additional borrowings.

Net cash used by operating activities increased $1.8 million to $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $5.1 million for the same period in 2006. Cash flow from operations is largely comprised of rental and other income less operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, advisory fees and interest expense. The increase was due to higher interest expense of $16.5 million; increased general, administrative and other expenses of $3.8 million; increased net advisory fees of $800,000; increased prepaid expenses and escrow accounts of $11.5 million, all offset by higher net operating income (rental revenues less property operating expenses) of $9.9 million; decreases in other assets and earnest money deposits of $4.0 million and increases in deferred revenues and other liabilities of $16.9 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $204.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $57.5 million for the same period in 2006. Cash used in investing activities increased $146.7 million due to an increase in investments in real estate (including investments in income-producing properties, land held for development, residential and

other development projects) of $188.1 million, an increase in other investments of $1.2 million, offset by higher proceeds from sales of land and income-producing properties of $41.6 million and higher collections on notes receivable of $1.0 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $213.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $64.0 million for the same period in 2006. Cash provided by financing activities increased $149.5 million due primarily to proceeds from additional borrowings of $282.1 million for acquisitions and refinancings (net of deferred financing costs) and increases in loans from affiliates of $10.7 million, offset by increased loan payoffs related to recurring amortization, property sales and refinancings of $143.0 million and repurchase of common stock of $300,000.

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

Related Party Transactions

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

Commitments and Contingencies

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

For the three months ended September 30, 2007:

TCI reported a net loss applicable to common shares of ($4.7) million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, including income from discontinued operations (before income taxes) of $7.5 million and gains on land sales of $5.8 million, as compared to a net loss applicable to common shares of ($4.4) million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, including income from discontinued operations (before income taxes) of $1.3 million and gains on land sales of $3.0 million. TCI defines its same-store universe for each income-producing asset type (apartments, commercial properties and hotels) as properties with stabilized occupancy owned and operated since July 1, 2006. For this time period, TCI had 54 apartments, 20 commercial properties and four hotels in its same-store universe.

Rental and other property revenues

Rental and other property revenues increased $6.0 million or 19 percent over 2006. The overall increase is due to a $2.1 million increase in rental revenues from TCI’s apartment communities, a $3.1 million increase from the Company’s commercial portfolio and a $1.0 million increase from the hotel portfolio, offset by a $200,000 decline in rents and royalty revenues from TCI’s land portfolio.

Within the apartment portfolio, same-store rental revenues increased $400,000 or three percent over 2006. Average overall occupancy for the same-store apartment portfolio was 93.8 percent in 2007 as compared to 93.7 percent in 2006. The May 2007 acquisition of a single apartment community in Midland, Texas represented $200,000 of the increase while increased revenues from newly-developed properties comprised the remaining difference of $1.5 million. In 2007, nine newly-developed properties generated rental revenues of $2.5 million compared to five newly-developed properties and $1.0 million of rental revenues in 2006. Average occupancy for the newly-developed properties was 90.3 percent in 2007 compared to 90.0 percent in 2006.

Within the commercial portfolio, same-store rental revenues declined $2.7 million, from $9.4 million in 2006 to $6.7 million in 2007. The decrease was due principally to a $1.7 million decline at 600 Las Colinas Boulevard (Dallas, Texas), a $600,000 combined decrease at the Company’s New Orleans office buildings, a $200,000 decline at a Ft. Worth industrial property and a $200,000 decline at a Colorado Springs office building. Overall occupancy for the same-store commercial portfolio was 60 percent at September 30, 2007 compared to 72 percent at the same time in 2006. Occupancy at 600 Las Colinas Boulevard declined from 90 percent at September 30, 2006 to 65 percent at September 30, 2007 due primarily to the June 2007 move-out of a 127,000 square foot tenant and a decrease in operating cost recoveries in 2007 as compared to 2006.

Occupancy for the same-store New Orleans office buildings was 63 percent at September 30, 2006 compared to 56 percent at September 30, 2007. Increases in rental revenues of $5.8 million from acquired properties, particularly the January 2007 acquisition of the Park West I and Park West II office projects (subsequently renamed Browning Place and Fenton Centre respectively), offset the same-store declines.

Rental revenues within TCI’s hotel portfolio increased $1.0 million in 2007 as compared to 2006. Akademia’s average occupancy in 2007 was 82 percent as compared to 84 percent in 2006; average nightly rates increased to $103 in 2007 from $73 in 2006. Occupancies within TCI’s three domestic hotels, all located in Chicago, remained flat at 69 percent for the third quarter in 2006 compared to the same period in 2007. Average nightly rental rates for the Chicago hotels increased from $188 in 2006 to $194 in 2007.

Rents and royalty revenues for TCI’s land portfolio declined $200,000 from the same period in 2006 due principally to lower royalties received on oil and gas leases covering certain of the Company’s land parcels in Ft. Worth.

Property operating expenses

Property operating expenses increased to $23.3 million in 2007 compared to $19.6 million in 2006 due to a $2.4 million increase in the commercial portfolio, a $300,000 increase in the apartment portfolio and a $200,000 increase in the hotel portfolio, offset by a $200,000 decline in land-related property operating expenses.

Operating expenses for the same-store commercial portfolio declined slightly, from $5.5 million in 2006 to $5.4 million in 2007, due primarily to operating efficiencies. Operating margins for the same-store commercial properties declined to 20 percent from 42 percent in 2006, due principally to lower occupancy. TCI’s acquisition portfolio of six properties was 83 percent occupied at September 30, 2007; properties acquired in 2007 accounted for $2.5 million of the increase in commercial property operating expenses.

Within the apartment portfolio, same-store property operating expenses decreased by $300,000 but were offset by a $100,000 increase due to acquisitions and a $500,000 increase due to newly-developed properties. Operating margins in the same-store universe increased to 42 percent in 2007 compared to 38 percent in 2006 as market rents increased and concessions declined.

Operating expenses at the Company’s Poland hotel increased $200,000 due to increased labor and repair costs.

Operating expenses in the land portfolio declined $200,000 due primarily to lower property tax expense on certain of the Company’s parcels located within its Mercer Crossing development in Dallas.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.1 million, from $5.5 million in 2006 to $6.6 million in 2007, due primarily to 2007 acquisitions ($700,000) and depreciation on newly-developed apartment projects ($400,000).

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $126,000 due to increased legal and other consulting fees.

Advisory fee to affiliate

Advisory fees paid to Prime increased $625,000 due to TCI’s higher average total assets in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. Under the terms of the advisory agreement between Prime and TCI, Prime earns an annual advisory fee equal to 0.75 percent of average total assets.

Interest income

Interest income declined $198,000 due primarily to lower average balances in interest-bearing notes receivable in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006.

Impairment charges

Impairment charges for 2007 relate to the write-down of a vacant commercial property ($1.7 million) as well as an under-performing residential apartment community ($1.0 million), both located in Memphis, Tennessee.

Mortgage and loan interest

Mortgage and loan interest increased $6.8 million due to financing for 2007 acquisitions ($2.0 million), additional construction financing for residential developments ($700,000), refinancing of hotel loans ($300,000) and same-store apartment loans ($700,000), land acquisitions and refinancing of maturing land loans ($300,000) and other ($2.8 million).

Gain on land sales

In 2007 TCI sold 22 acres of land in seven separate transactions for sales prices totaling $12.8 million, generating $3.8 million in cash proceeds and $5.8 million in recognized gains. The largest 2007 transactions were (a) the third quarter 2007 sale of 13.8 acres of the “McKinney Ranch” tract for $2.9 million, resulting in cash proceeds of $700,000 and a recognized gain of $1.1 million and (b) the third quarter 2007 sale of the 2.7 acre “West End” tract for $6.5 million, resulting in cash proceeds of $1.3 million and a recognized gain of $3.8 million.

In 2006, the Company sold 12.3 acres of land in three separate transactions for sales prices totaling $7.2 million, resulting in $4.1 million of cash proceeds and $2.8 million of recognized gains.

Minority interest

Minority interest declined $336,000 due to reduced losses from certain ventures where TCI has less than 100 percent ownership.

Discontinued operations

Income from discontinued operations (before income taxes) was $7.5 million in 2007, representing $8.5 million in gains on sales of income-producing properties partially offset by $1.0 million in operating losses. In 2007 TCI sold (a) an office building in Richmond, Virginia for $9.3 million, generating $3.1 million in cash proceeds and a recognized gain of $3.4 million and (b) an apartment community in Texas City, Texas for $3.7 million, resulting in $800,000 of cash proceeds and a recognized gain of $1.0 million. In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains in the amount of $4.1 million related to the June 2007 sale of an office building located in Durham, North Carolina. The $1.0 million in operating losses represents activity for four apartment properties held for sale (one of which was sold in October 2007), one apartment property sold in August 2007 and one office building sold in July 2007.

Income from discontinued operations (before income taxes) was $1.3 million for the same period in 2006, representing $2.4 million in gains on sales of income-producing properties partially offset by $1.1 million in operating losses. In 2006, TCI sold two apartment communities for sales prices totaling $6.1 million, generating $1.2 million in cash proceeds and $2.4 million in recognized gains. The $1.1 million in operating losses represents activity for four apartments held for sale (one of which was sold in October 2007), two apartments sold in the third quarter of 2006, one apartment property sold in January 2007 and two apartment properties and one office building sold in the third quarter of 2007.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007:

TCI incurred a net loss applicable to common shares of ($24.5) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, including income from discontinued operations (before income taxes) of $8.9 million and gains on land sales of $6.9 million, as compared to a net loss applicable to common shares of ($8.3) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, including income from discontinued operations (before income taxes) of $3.3 million and gains on land sales of $12.0 million. TCI defines its same-store universe for each income-producing asset type (apartments, commercial properties and hotels) as properties with stabilized occupancy owned and operated since January 1, 2006. For this time period, TCI had 54 apartments, 20 commercial properties and four hotels in its same-store universe.

Rental and other property revenues

Rental and other property revenues increased $24.6 million or 28 percent over 2006. The overall increase is due to a $7.0 million increase in rental revenues from TCI’s apartment communities, a $14.1 million increase from the Company’s commercial portfolio and a $3.8 million increase from the hotel portfolio, offset by a $300,000 decline in rents and royalty revenues from TCI’s land portfolio.

Within the apartment portfolio, same-store rental revenues increased $2.2 million or four percent over 2006. Average overall occupancy for the same-store apartment portfolio was 94.0 percent in 2007 as compared to 93.8 percent in 2006. The May 2007 acquisition of a single apartment community in Midland, Texas represented $300,000 of the increase while increased revenues from newly-developed properties comprised the remaining difference of $4.5 million. In 2007 nine newly-developed properties generated rental revenues of $2.5 million compared to five newly-developed properties and $1.5 million of rental revenues in 2006. Average occupancy for the newly-developed properties was 67.8 percent in 2007 compared to 36.7 percent in 2006.

Within the commercial portfolio, same-store rental revenues declined $2.9 million, from $26.9 million in 2006 to $24.0 million in 2007. The decrease was due principally to a $2.3 million decline at 600 Las Colinas Boulevard (Dallas, Texas), a $1.2 million combined decrease at the Company’s New Orleans office buildings, a $500,000 decline at a Ft. Worth industrial property and a $300,000 decline at a Colorado Springs office building, offset by increases at two other Dallas office buildings of $1.2 million and at a shopping center in Indiana of $200,000. Occupancy at 600 Las Colinas Boulevard declined from 90 percent at September 30, 2006 to 65 percent at September 30, 2007 due primarily to the June 2007 move-out of a 127,000 square foot tenant and a decrease in operating cost recoveries in 2007 as compared to 2006. Occupancy for the same-store

New Orleans office buildings was 63 percent at September 30, 2006 compared to 56 percent at September 30, 2007. Increases in rental revenues of $17.0 million from acquired properties, particularly the January 2007 acquisition of the Park West I and Park West II office projects (subsequently renamed Browning Place and Fenton Centre respectively), offset the same-store declines.

Rental revenues within TCI’s domestic hotels increased seven percent or $300,000 in 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. Akademia’s average occupancy in 2007 was 81 percent as compared to 78 percent in 2006; average nightly rates increased to $102 in 2007 from $79 in 2006. Occupancies within TCI’s three domestic hotels, all located in Chicago, increased from an average of 59 percent for 2006 to an average of 69 percent for 2007. Average nightly rental rates for the Chicago hotels increased from $171 in 2006 to $194 in 2007.

Rents and royalty revenues for TCI’s land portfolio declined $300,000 from the same period in 2006 due principally to lower royalties received on oil and gas leases covering certain of the Company’s land parcels in Ft. Worth.

Property operating expenses

Property operating expenses increased to $66.7 million in 2007 compared $54.7 million in 2006 due to a $7.8 million increase in the commercial portfolio, a $700,000 increase in the apartment portfolio, a $1.7 million increase in the hotel portfolio, a $600,000 increase in land-related operating expenses and a $1.2 million increase in other property operating expenses.

Operating expenses for the same-store commercial portfolio increased $600,000 due primarily to higher utility costs. Operating margins for the same-store commercial properties declined to 34 percent from 43 percent in 2006, due principally to lower occupancy. Overall, the same-store commercial portfolio was 65 percent occupied at September 30, 2007 compared to xx percent at the same time in 2006. TCI’s acquisition portfolio of six properties was 85 percent occupied at September 30, 2007; properties acquired in 2007 accounted for $7.2 million of the increase in commercial property operating expenses.

Within the apartment portfolio, same-store property operating expenses decreased by $1.5 million but were offset by a $100,000 increase due to acquisitions and a $2.1 million increase due to newly-developed properties. Operating margins in the same-store universe increased to 47 percent in 2007 compared to 42 percent in 2006 due to increased market rents, lower concessions and cost efficiencies.

Operating expenses at the Company’s Poland hotel increased $1.8 million due to increased labor and repair costs but were offset slightly by $100,000 in cost savings at TCI’s domestic hotels.

Operating expenses in the land portfolio increased $600,000 due primarily to higher property tax expense on certain of the Company’s land parcels .

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.2 million, from $15.3 million in 2006 to $18.5 million in 2007, due primarily to 2007 acquisitions ($2.1 million), depreciation on newly-developed apartment projects ($600,000) and additional depreciation on same-store apartments ($1.5 million), offset by decreases for same-store commercial properties ($800,000) and hotels ($200,000).

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $4.1 million due to increased legal and litigation-related costs ($2.6 million), increased consulting and other professional fees ($200,000), increased taxes and licenses ($200,000), higher cost reimbursements paid to Prime ($200,000), increased communications and office support costs ($400,000), increased fees associated with certain stock repurchases ($200,000) and miscellaneous charge-offs ($300,000).

Advisory fee to affiliate

Advisory fees paid to Prime increased $1.5 million due to TCI’s higher average total assets for 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. Under the terms of the advisory agreement between Prime and TCI, Prime earns an annual advisory fee equal to 0.75 percent of average total assets.

Interest income

Interest income declined $526,000 due primarily to lower average balances in interest-bearing notes receivable in 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006.

Impairment charges

Impairment charges for 2007 relate to the write-down of a vacant commercial property ($1.673 million) as well as an under-performing residential apartment community ($1.01 million), both located in Memphis, Tennessee.

Net income fee to affiliate

Net income fees expense declined $704,000 due to an overpayment of fees in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Mortgage and loan interest

Mortgage and loan interest increased $17.4 million due to financing for 2007 acquisitions of income-producing properties ($4.8 million); additional construction financing for residential developments ($2.5 million); refinancing of loans within the same-store apartment portfolio ($2.3 million), the hotel portfolio ($1.0 million) and the same-store apartment portfolio ($400,000), land acquisitions and refinancing of maturing land loans ($2.8 million) and other ($3.6 million).

Gain on land sales

In 2007 TCI sold 119.5 acres of land in nine separate transactions for sales prices totaling $17.4 million, generating $4.6 million in cash proceeds and $6.9 million in recognized gains. The largest 2007 transactions were the a) August 2007 sale of 13.8 acres of the “McKinney Ranch” tract for $2.9 million, resulting in cash proceeds of $700,000 and a recognized gain of $1.1 million, b) the January 2007 sale of 15.1 acres of the “McKinney Ranch” tract for $2.6 million, generating $800,000 in cash proceeds and a recognized gain of $1.1 million and c) the sale of the 2.7 acre “West End” tract for $6.5 million, resulting in cash proceeds of $1.3 million and a recognized gain of $3.8 million. In the second quarter 2007 TCI exchanged 82.2 acres of the “Denton Coonrod” tract (located in Denton, Texas) with an affiliated company, acquiring an apartment property in Midland, Texas as well as a note receivable from the affiliate in the amount of $1.6 million. The note receivable bears interest at the rate of prime plus 100 basis points and is due on demand. No gain or loss was recognized on the exchange.

In 2006 the Company sold 191.2 acres of land in six separate transactions for sales prices totaling $37.4 million, resulting in $21.4 million of cash proceeds and $12.0 million of recognized gains. The largest 2006 transactions were a) the sale of 123.9 acres of the “McKinney Ranch” tract for $16.6 million, resulting in $6.0 million of cash proceeds a recognized gain of $3.4 million and b) the sale of 44.5 acres of the “McKinney Ranch” tract for $10.3 million, generating $10.0 million in cash proceeds and a recognized gain of $5.3 million.

Minority interest

Minority interest declined $522,000 due to reduced losses from certain ventures where TCI has less than 100 percent ownership.

Discontinued operations

Income from discontinued operations (before income taxes) was $8.9 million in 2007, representing $12.1 million in gains on sales of income-producing properties partially offset by $3.2 million in operating losses. In 2007 TCI sold 1) an apartment community in Lewisville, Texas for $24.1 million, resulting in $3.1 million in cash proceeds and a recognized gain of $3.6 million; 2) an office building in Richmond, Virginia for $9.3 million, generating $3.1 million in cash proceeds and a recognized gain of $3.4 million and 2) an apartment community in Texas City, Texas for $3.7 million, resulting in $800,000 of cash proceeds and a recognized gain of $1.0 million. In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains in the amount of $4.1 million related to the June 2007 sale of an office building located in Durham, North Carolina. The $3.2 million in operating losses represents activity for four apartment properties held for sale (one of which was sold in October 2007), one apartment property sold in January 2007, one apartment property sold in August 2007 and one office building sold in July 2007.

Income from discontinued operations (before income taxes) was $3.3 million for the same period in 2006, representing $5.7 million in gains on sales of income-producing properties partially offset by $2.4 million in operating losses. In 2006 TCI sold four apartment communities for sales prices totaling $15.3 million, generating $4.6 million in cash proceeds and $5.7 million in recognized gains. The $2.4 million in operating losses represents activity for four apartments held for sale (one of which was sold in October 2007), two apartments sold in the third quarter of 2006, one apartment property sold in January 2007 and one apartment property and one office building sold in the third quarter of 2007.

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 2007 and a loss, after the use of net operating loss carryforwards, in the first nine months of 2006; therefore, it recorded no provision for income taxes.

At September 30, 2007, TCI had a net deferred tax asset of $34.1 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, the cost of new financings and the cost of variable interest rate debt will be affected.

Environmental Matters

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

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

ITEM 3.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Subsequent to the period covered by this Report, on October 11, 2007, the Waters Edge litigation was resolved by a settlement of all claimants to all of the Funds subject to such proceedings. Shortly before the advent of Hurricane Katrina, an apartment complex in Mississippi was sold by a subsidiary of the Registrant to Waters Edge Living, LLC, but notwithstanding such sale, the property continued on insurance coverage applicable to the Registrant and its subsidiaries. As a result of sorting out the various claims, two items litigation were filed, Waters Edge Living, LLC v. RSUI Indemnity Company, et al, Civil Action No. 4:06-CV-00334-RH-WCS which was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida and Prime Income Asset Management, Inc., et al v. Waters Edge Living, LLC, et al, Civil Action No. 3:07-CV-0102-D which was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Pursuant to the settlement, Waters Edge Living, LLC and its affiliate received $24,000,000 out of funds on deposit with the Florida Court and Prime Income Asset Management, Inc. (“PIAMA”) waived its right to recover from Waters Edge Living, LLC an additional $1,818,000 previously advanced. The Registrant and its subsidiaries received an additional $24,000,000 in insurance proceeds from the overall settlement and the Florida case, the Texas case and a related Adversary Proceeding in a Bankruptcy case were all terminated and dismissed with each of the parties bearing their own legal fees and costs of such litigation. Resolution of this litigation finally resolves all matters related to the Hurricane Katrina disaster as to the Registrant and its subsidiaries.
