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 is externally advised and has no employees. TCI owns a diverse portfolio of residential apartment communities, commercial properties, hotels and land. The Company currently owns approximately 12,250 units in 65 residential apartment communities, 28 commercial properties comprising over four million rentable square feet and four hotels. In addition, TCI owns over 6,500 acres of land held for development and currently has over 2,500 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% 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 various 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 June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on description, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN No. 48 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN No. 48, which was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2007, did not have a material impact on the Company’s cash flows, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

The Company is involved in the construction of 14 apartment development projects as of June 30, 2007. In addition, the Company invests in numerous tracts of land and is at several stages of predevelopment on many 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

In March 2007, the Company sold 15.6 acres known as Rochelle II or Las Colinas Townhomes to TCI Woodmont XII, a subsidiary of the Company, for $6.7 million. TCI Woodmont XII obtained financing in the amount of $6.8 million from a commercial lender and $3.4 million from the Company. Because the sale was to a consolidated subsidiary, the Company has recorded the transaction as a financing transaction.

On June 6, 2007 we refinanced $12.4 million in existing mortgages on eight apartment complexes; Arbor Pointe, Courtyard, Coventry Pointe, Fountains at Waterford, Southgate, Sunchase, Thornwood, and Westwood apartments consisting of 1,287 units located throughout Midland and Odessa, Texas for new loans totaling $33.2 million receiving $21.0 million in cash and paid down property debt and defeasance costs totaling $4.1 million. The loans accrue interest at 7.03% is payable in monthly installments of interest and principal, and all accrued and unpaid interest and the outstanding principal balance are due on maturity, July 2037.

On June 28, 2007 we refinanced the existing notes of $3.6 million on two apartment complexes; Autumn Chase and Hunters Glen apartments consisting of 276 units in total located in Midland, Texas for new loans totaling $6.9 million, receiving $1.6 million in cash. The loans accrue interest at prime plus 25 points with interest only payments due monthly and all unpaid accrued interest and the outstanding principal balance payable on maturity in September 2007.

In addition to the foregoing, through June 2007, the Company obtained additional funding for eight of its residential development projects totaling $36.8 million. The loans represent partial funding of development loans through various sources of financing, including commercial lenders and HUD.

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 $144 million at June 30, 2007 and $137 million at June 30, 2006. 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 six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and each segment’s assets at June 30.

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 six months ended June 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 ten 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. The total amount of the expected buyouts remaining as of June 30, 2007 is approximately $3.0 million.

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.

Litigation. Waters Edge. Shortly before the advent of Hurricane Katrina, an apartment complex in Mississippi was sold to Waters Edge Living, LLC but notwithstanding such sale, the property continued on insurance coverage applicable to Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (“TCI”) and others. As a result of sorting out various claims, two items of litigation exist, Waters Edge Living, LLC v. RUSI Indemnity Co., et al, civil action No. 4:06-CV-00334-RH-WCS pending 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 pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. TCI is not a direct party in either case. In the Texas

case, three subsidiaries of TCI are plaintiffs, Continental Baronne, Inc., Continental Common, Inc. and Continental Amoco, Inc. which own three New Orleans office buildings damaged by Hurricane Katrina. RUSI Indemnity Co. has paid approximately $50.0 million into a trust account held by Merrill Lynch under the supervision of the Florida Court. Of that amount, approximately $32.5 million is money paid on account of the Waters Edge Living, LLC claim and $17.5 million is money paid on the claims of Continental Baronne, Inc. and the other New Orleans office buildings. Three TCI subsidiaries are intending to intervene in the near future in the Florida proceeding to attempt to obtain prompt return of the $17.5 million, although Prime Income Asset Management, Inc. (“PIAMI”) has pending an emergency motion for return of those funds (which has been pending since February 1, 2007). Of the $32.5 million allegedly allocable to Waters Edge Living, LLC, PIAMI et al is entitled to a refund, at a minimum, of approximately $6.0 million (consisting of $1.9 million previously advanced from PIAMI against the payment of the claim and $4.0 million for flood insurance proceeds, which should be credited against the $32.5 million) and potentially more, depending upon the amount by which the total claims exceed a $100.0 million cap under the applicable policies. While this case is a plaintiff’s case from the perspective of the TCI subsidiaries, funds belonging to the TCI subsidiaries are being withheld from those subsidiaries aggregating at least $17.5 million. There is no significant prospect from these cases that TCI will have to pay any additional funds to Waters Edge Living, LLC.

In the second quarter of 2007, TCI sold its ownership of Continental Baronne, Inc. to a privately-owned affiliated company for a sales price of $9.5 million and the assumption of $9.5 million of related liabilities. Continental Baronne, Inc. owns a vacant office building in New Orleans. Since TCI received no cash consideration for the sale, TCI continues to include the office building in its consolidated financial statements.

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. In October 2006, Realty Advisors, Inc. (“RAI”), an affiliate of TCI and the parent company of BCM, borrowed $8 million from a South Korea commercial bank for the purpose of partially funding an investment in SH Chemical Co., Ltd. (“SH”) a public company based in South Korea and a manufacturer of expanded polystyrene resin products. RAI purchased approximately 34% of the outstanding common stock of SH. The $8 million commercial bank loan is collateralized by RAI’s investment in SH and is guaranteed by TCI.

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

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, including “Part I, Item I—Business—Risk Factors,” 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 June 30, 2007, the Company owned approximately 12,250 units in 65 residential apartment communities, 28 commercial properties comprising almost four million rentable square feet and four hotels containing a total of 313 rooms. In addition, at June 30, 2007, TCI owned over 6,500 acres of land held for development and had over 2,500 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 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 five third-party companies to manage the Company’s apartment communities. Approximately 82% of TCI’s common stock is owned by ARI. TCI is a “C Corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and files an annual consolidated income tax return with ARI.

The highlights of the six months ended June 30, 2007 included the following:

•

On January 1, 2007, we obtained a $7.0 million loan secured by 109 acres and 3 acres of land located in Farmers Branch, Texas. The note accrues interest at 10% and matures in January 2008.

•

On January 17, 2007 we refinanced the existing $3.6 million mortgage on City Suites Hotel in Chicago, IL for a new note of $7.3 million and received $3.8 million in cash. The note accrues interest at 8.25% and matures in February 2012.

•

On January 19, 2007, we acquired a 383,114 and a 707,559 square foot office building in Farmers Branch, Texas known as Park West I and Park West II, respectively and a 4.7 acre tract of undeveloped land at an aggregate purchase price of $110 million. The acquisition was financed with $9.6 million in cash and $97.0 million in new debt. Two separate notes were obtained on this acquisition; a $35.0 million note which accrues interest at 6.06% maturing January 2013 and a $62.0 million note which accrues interest at a variable rate (currently 9.32%) maturing January 2009.

•

On February 16, 2007, we sold the Bluffs at Vista Ridge, a 272 unit apartment complex in Lewisville, Texas for $24.1 million. The proceeds were used to pay down the existing mortgage of $20.5 million receiving $3.1 million in cash. A gain of $3.6 million was recorded on this sale.

•

On March 5, 2007, we refinanced the existing $3.1 million mortgage on the Majestic Hotel in Chicago, IL, a 55 room hotel with a new note for $6.0 million receiving $2.9 million in cash. The note accrues interest at 7.76% and matures in March 2010.

•

On May 8, 2007, we acquired 40.1 acres of land in Las Colinas, TX known as Hines Meridian for $8.5 million. The purchase was financed with $3.0 million in cash and a note payable of $5.0 million. The note accrues interest at 9.25% and matures in June 2010.

•

On June 6, 2007 we refinanced $12.4 million in existing mortgages with a commercial bank lender. The mortgages relate to eight different apartment complexes, totaling 1,287 units, located throughout Midland and Odessa, Texas. The new loans totaled $33.2 million. We received $21.0 million in cash and paid down property debt and defeasance costs totaling $4.1 million. The notes accrue interest at 7.03% and mature in July 2037.

•

On June 28, 2007 we refinanced $3.6 million in existing mortgages with a commercial bank lender. The mortgages relate to two apartment complexes, totaling 276 units, located in Midland, Texas. The new loans totaled $6.9 million. We received $1.6 million in cash. The notes accrue interest at 9.25% and mature in September of 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

Real Estate

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 (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (2) 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 (1) substantially completed and (2) 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

Cash and cash equivalents were $5.1 million and $4.8 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The principal reasons for the change in cash are discussed in the paragraphs below.

TCI’s principal sources of cash have been and will continue to be 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. Management anticipates that TCI’s cash at June 30, 2007, along with cash that will be generated in 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 was $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Cash flow from operations is largely comprised of rental income less operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. Net cash used by operating activities increased $4.1 million due primarily to an increase in operating income (before depreciation expense) of $6.7 million, offset by higher interest expense of $10.8 million.

Management expects that TCI’s existing cash balances, selective sales of land and income-producing properties, refinancing of and additional borrowings against the Company’s real estate holdings will be sufficient to meet TCI’s cash requirements associated with its current and anticipated level of operations, maturing debt obligations and existing commitments. To the extent that TCI’s liquidity permits or financing sources are available and the investments are otherwise deemed to be profitable, management intends to make additional investments in real estate or real estate-related projects.

Net cash used in investing activities was $211.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $35.2 million for the six months ended June, 2006. Cash used in investing activities increased $176.6 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 $173.6 million and lower proceeds from fewer land sales of $9.5 million, offset by higher net collections on notes receivable of $6.5 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $219.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $40.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Cash provided by financing activities increased $179.6 million due primarily to proceeds from additional borrowings of $183.7 million (net of deferred financing costs) and advances from affiliates of $28.2 million, offset by loan payoffs related to property sales and refinancings of $31.5 million and increased preferred dividends of $0.8 million.

Net cash provided by discontinued operations was $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2006. The $4.9 million decline was due principally to a decrease in cash provided by operations from properties actually sold or held for sale.

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

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.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2007:

TCI had a net loss of $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, including a loss from discontinued operations of $496,000, as compared to a net income of $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, including income from discontinuing operations of $1.7 million and a gain on sale of land of $8.7 million. Fluctuations in this and other components of revenues and expense between the three month period ended June 2007 and 2006 are discussed below.

Rents increased to $40.3 million in 2007 as compared to $29.4 million in 2006. This increase is due to additional rental income from the completion of new apartment construction projects, acquisitions of commercial properties, increased occupancy in our hotel properties and various market rate increases in apartment complexes.

Property operating expenses increased to $22.8 million in 2007 as compared to $17.8 million in 2006. This increase is due to the completion of new apartment construction projects and acquisition of commercial properties.

Depreciation and amortization increased to $6.8 million in 2007 as compared to $4.8 million in 2006. This increase is mainly due to the completion of new construction projects and acquisitions of commercial properties in the current period.

Mortgage and loan interest expense increased to $19.6 million in 2007 as compared to $12.4 million in 2006. This increase is due to the increase in mortgages payable related to acquisitions and refinancings.

The decrease in litigation settlement of $1.8 million was due to no litigation settlements being received in the three months ended June 2007.

The decrease in gain on sale of land of $8.7 million was due to no land being sold for the three months ended June 2007, that resulted in a gain.

Income from discontinued operations before income taxes decreased to a net loss of $763,000 in 2007 as compared to a net income of $2.7 million in 2006. This decrease is due to discontinued operations including eight properties in 2006 as compared to three properties in 2007 and two of the properties in 2007 incurred net operating losses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007:

TCI had a net loss of $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, including income from discontinued operations of $1.2 million and gains on land sales of $1.1 million, as compared to a net loss of $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, including income from discontinuing operations of $1.3 million and gains on sale of land of $9.0 million. Fluctuations in this and other components of revenues and expense between the six month period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are discussed below.

Rents increased to $76.4 million in 2007 as compared to $58.2 in 2006. This increase is due to additional rental income from the completion of new apartment construction projects and the acquisition of commercial properties and the increase in hotel revenues due to increased occupancies.

Property operating expenses increased to $44.3 million in 2007 as compared to $35.3 million in 2006. This increase is due to the completion of new apartment construction projects and acquisition of commercial properties.

General and administrative expenses increased to $5.2 million in 2007 as compared to $3.0 million in 2006. This increase is primarily due to prior year amount including litigation settlement proceeds of $1.7 million.

Mortgage and loan interest increased to $35.4 million in 2007 as compared to $24.6 million in 2006. This increase is due to the increase in notes payable by $296.7 million over the last 12 months related to acquisitions and refinancings.

Income from litigation settlements decreased to $704,000 in 2007 as compared to $1.8 million in 2006. This decrease is due to non-recurring settlements in the prior period.

Gain on land sales decreased to $1.1 million in 2007 as compared to $9.0 million in 2006. The 2007 gain is from the sale of 15 acres of McKinney Ranch land.

Net income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 from discontinued operations relates to properties TCI sold or intends to sell in 2007, as well as properties TCI sold during 2007 and 2006. The following table summarizes revenue and expense information for the properties sold and held for sale.

Tax Matters

Prior to the year 2000, TCI elected and in the opinion of management, qualified to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) as defined under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. During the third quarter of 2000, due primarily to a concentration in ownership, TCI no longer met the requirements for tax treatment as a REIT.

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

At June 30, 2007, TCI had a net deferred tax asset of $41.8 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, 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.
