             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. Operating results for the ten month period ended September 30, 1997,
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1996.

Earnings per share have been computed based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding for the four and ten month periods ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996. Certain 1996 balances have been reclassified to
conform to the 1997 presentation.

At the annual meeting of shareholders held on July 10, 1997, the shareholders of
Vinland Property Trust (the "Trust"), predecessor to the Company, approved a
proposal to convert the Trust from a California business trust into a Nevada
corporation. The conversion was accomplished by incorporating the Trust as a
California corporation and merging it into the Company, which was a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Trust, with the Company as the surviving entity. While the
Trust had a November 30 fiscal year end, the Company has a December 31 fiscal
year end. Accordingly, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements
include Statements of Operations and Statements of Cash Flows for the four and
ten month periods ended September 30, 1997, and the one month periods ended June
30, 1997, and December 31, 1996. The one month period ended December 31, 1996,
represents the transition period.

NOTE 2.  REAL ESTATE

In March 1997, after receiving an offer to purchase One Turtle Creek Office
Complex, the Company initiated a formal marketing program to sell this property
and reclassified it to real estate held for sale. Accordingly, the Company
ceased depreciation of this property in March 1997.

In September and October 1996, the Company advanced $572,000 to 18607 Ventura
Associates, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), which purchased Tarzana Towne Plaza (the
"Property"), a 37,000 square foot combination office/retail/medical building
located in Tarzana, California, in October 1996. This acquisition was financed
with a $3.0 million first mortgage loan. In December 1996, the Company converted
its advances to a 1% general partner interest and a 59% limited partner interest
in the Partnership. As the Company holds a controlling interest in the
Partnership, the operations of the Property have been consolidated. In
connection with the transaction, the Company paid an acquisition fee of $21,630
to Tarragon Realty Advisors, Inc. ("Tarragon"), the Company's advisor since
March 1, 1994. Minority interest in the accompanying September 30, 1997,
consolidated balance sheet represents the minority partner's interest in the
underlying net assets of the Partnership.

In January 1997, the Company purchased The Brooks Apartments, a 104-unit
property located in Addison, Texas, for $2.2 million. The Company assumed an
existing mortgage loan of $1.3 million and paid cash of $909,000 at closing. In
connection with this transaction, the Company paid Tarragon an acquisition fee
of $22,000.

NOTE 2.  REAL ESTATE  (Continued)

In August 1997, the Company purchased Park 20 West Office Park, a 69,066 square
foot property located in Tallahassee, Florida, for $3.5 million. A portion of
the purchase price was financed through a $648,000 loan to the Company from
Tarragon which bore interest at prime plus 1% per annum and was repaid in
October 1997. See NOTE 5. "ADVANCES FROM AFFILIATES." Also, in connection with
the acquisition, the Company assumed an existing first mortgage loan of $1.9
million and paid cash of $1 million. The Company paid Tarragon an acquisition
fee of $34,550 in connection with this transaction.

NOTE 3.  NOTES RECEIVABLE

In December 1996, the Company received $600,000 as payment in full of the Swiss
Village note receivable which had matured in November 1996.

NOTE 4.  INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS

Investments in partnerships, accounted for under the equity method, include the
Company's investments in a partnership and a limited liability company ("LLC"),
as described below. In December 1995, the Company acquired a 20% general partner
interest and an effective 37% limited partner interest in Larchmont Associates
Limited Partnership for a cash investment of $418,000. The partnership owns
Larchmont West Apartments, a 504-unit complex in Toledo, Ohio, which
collateralizes nonrecourse mortgage debt of $5.5 million.

In consideration of a $400,000 cash capital contribution, in June 1996, the
Company acquired an effective 25% nonmanaging member interest in Kearny Wrap
LLC, which owns a $21.7 million wraparound mortgage loan secured by a 1 million
square foot distribution facility net leased to the United States Postal Service
located in Kearny, New Jersey. The note bears interest at 6% per annum and
matures in 2013. The $16.9 million underlying first mortgage loan bears interest
at 6% per annum and matures in 1998.

Advances to partnerships included in the accompanying November 30, 1996,
consolidated balance sheet represent $572,000 advanced during 1996 to 18607
Ventura Associates, Ltd., in which the Company acquired a 60% interest in
December 1996. See NOTE 2. "REAL ESTATE."

NOTE 5.  ADVANCES FROM AFFILIATES

Advances from affiliates at September 30, 1997, include the $648,000 loan from
Tarragon in connection with the Park 20 West Office Park acquisition described
in NOTE 2. "REAL ESTATE." They also include non-interest bearing advances of
$110,000 and $526,000 from Lucy Friedman, 50% stockholder of Tarragon and a
principal stockholder of the Company, and Tarragon, respectively. Such advances
were made to the Company on a short-term basis and were repaid in October 1997.
Advances from affiliates are presented with "Other liabilities" in the
accompanying September 30, 1997, Consolidated Balance Sheet.

NOTE 6.  NOTES PAYABLE

In July 1997, the Company closed a first mortgage loan of $2.1 million secured
by Collegewood Apartments. At closing, the $2.1 million existing mortgage was
paid off, and the Company paid cash of $260,000 to establish an escrow for
property improvements. In connection with this financing, the Company paid
Tarragon a fee of $20,500.

NOTE 7.  INCOME TAXES

No provision has been made for federal income taxes because the Company's
management believes the Company has qualified as a Real Estate Investment Trust,
as defined in Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and expects that it will continue to do so.

NOTE 8.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business. Management of the Company does not believe that the
results of these claims and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, will
have a material adverse effect on its business or financial position.

NOTE 9.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In October 1997, the Company obtained first mortgage financing in the amount of
$1.7 million secured by Briarwest Shopping Center, which had been unencumbered
since the previous mortgage was paid off in February 1997. After establishing an
escrow for taxes and insurance and paying closing costs, the Company received
net cash proceeds of $1.6 million. A financing fee of $17,000 was paid to
Tarragon in connection with this transaction.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes thereto.

Introduction

Tarragon Realty Investors, Inc., (the "Company") was organized on July 18, 1973,
as a nationwide real estate investment trust to invest in multifamily and
commercial properties. The Company commenced operations on April 2, 1974.

The Company's real estate at September 30, 1997, consisted of 14 properties,
including nine apartment complexes, one shopping center, one combination office
building and shopping center, one combination office/retail/medical building,
one office park, and one farm and luxury residence. All of the Company's real
estate, except four properties, is encumbered by mortgages.

The Company's management continues to focus on the capital appreciation of the
Company's existing portfolio and the search for additional investments.
Management's first priority is to invest surplus funds in needed improvements to
the current real estate portfolio. The Company intends to use additional funds,
generated from property operations, sales, and refinancings, to make selective
acquisitions, both residential and commercial, with a preference for properties
in the same geographical regions of the United States in which the Company
currently operates. However, because of various real estate industry conditions,
including competing entities and the overall volatility of the real estate
market, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to
increase the size of its portfolio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $276,000 at September 30, 1997, as compared to
$2.7 million at November 30, 1996. The Company's principal sources of cash have
been property operations, collections of notes receivable, and refinancing
proceeds. Management believes that cash on hand along with funds provided by
property operations and anticipated external sources, such as property sales and
refinancings, is sufficient to fund any needed property maintenance and capital
improvements as well as meet the Company's debt service obligations.

In December 1996, the Company received $600,000 as payment in full of the Swiss
Village note receivable which had matured in November 1996. The Company expects
collections of notes receivable to decline as existing mortgage loans are paid
off and does not anticipate funding additional loans in the future except in
connection with property sales.

In December 1996, the Company acquired Tarzana Towne Plaza, a 37,000 square foot
combination office/retail/ medical building located in Tarzana, California,
through the acquisition of a controlling interest in 18607 Ventura Associates,
Ltd., the partnership which owns the property. The Company had advanced $572,000
to the partnership during 1996. These advances were converted to a 1% general
partner interest and a 59% limited partner interest in the partnership in
December 1996.

During 1997, the Company purchased two properties for an aggregate purchase
price of $5.8 million, the cash portion of which was $2 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

The Company made capital improvements totaling $984,000 to its properties during
the ten months ended September 30, 1997, compared to $651,000 during the
corresponding period of 1996, and anticipates an additional $230,000 will be
incurred during the remainder of 1997.

During the ten months ended September 30, 1997, the Company made advances
totaling $658,000 to Larchmont Associates Limited Partnership, in which the     
Company holds an effective 57% interest, largely to fund capital improvements
and operations of Larchmont West Apartments, the partnership's sole property.
The Company expects such advances to continue during the fourth quarter of 1997
and first half of 1998. Advances are subject to repayment with simple interest
at 18% prior to any other distributions to the partners.

In July 1997, the Company obtained first mortgage financing of $2.1 million
secured by Collegewood Apartments. At closing, the existing mortgage of $2.1
million was paid off, and the Company paid cash of $260,000 to establish an
escrow for property repairs. The Company made other principal payments on notes
payable of $471,000 during the ten months ended September 30, 1997.
Principal payments of $117,000 are due during the remainder of 1997.

The Company received advances from affiliates totaling $636,000 during the third
quarter of 1997. Such advances were made on a short-term basis and were repaid
in October 1997. See NOTE 5. "ADVANCES FROM AFFILIATES" in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to
repurchase up to 139,200 of its shares of common stock in open market and
negotiated transactions, of which 26,641 had been purchased through September
30, 1997. During the ten months ended September 30, 1997, the Company
repurchased 23,230 shares in open market transactions at a total cost of
$209,000.

After the end of the third quarter, the Company obtained a first mortgage loan
of $1.7 million secured by Briarwest Shopping Center, receiving net cash
proceeds of $1.6 million.

Results of Operations

For the four and ten month periods ended September 30, 1997, the Company
reported a net loss of $22,000 and net income of $207,000, respectively,
compared to a net loss of $140,000 and net income of $220,000 for the
corresponding periods in 1996. The underlying components of the change in
results of operations are discussed in the following paragraphs.

The Company sold Polynesia Village Apartments ("Polynesia") in October 1996 and
realized a gain of $844,000. The loss of the operations of Polynesia caused a
reduction in net operating results for the four and ten month periods ended
September 30, 1997, of $125,000 and $318,000, respectively, compared to the
corresponding periods in 1996. This reduction was partially mitigated by the
contribution to net operating results from the properties acquired during 1996
and 1997.

Upon reclassifying One Turtle Creek Office Complex to real estate held for sale
in March 1997, the Company ceased depreciation on this property, resulting in
decreases in depreciation expense for the four and ten month periods ended
September 30, 1997, of $130,000 and $230,000, respectively, compared to the
corresponding periods in 1996.

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

Results of Operations (Continued)

During the first half of fiscal 1996, the Trust recorded a loss on the sale of
real estate of $171,000 and an extraordinary gain of $253,000 both related to
the sale of the Villas at Central Park Apartments in January 1996.

The primary reason the Company reported net losses for the four month periods
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, but net income for the ten month periods
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, is that the Company incurs greater costs
related to property replacements during the summer months than in the earlier
months of the year. Replacement expenses are expected to be lighter in the
fourth quarter of 1997 than those incurred in the four months ended September
30, 1997.

Allowance for Estimated Losses and Provisions for Losses

The Company's management, on a quarterly basis, reviews the carrying values of
the Company's mortgage loans and properties held for sale. Generally accepted
accounting principles require that the carrying value of a mortgage loan or a
property held for sale cannot exceed the lower of its cost or its estimated fair
value less estimated costs to sell. In those instances in which estimates of
fair value less estimated selling costs of the collateral securing the Company's
mortgage loans or properties held for sale are less than the carrying values
thereof at the time of evaluation, an allowance for loss is provided by a charge
against operations. The evaluation of the carrying values of the mortgage loans
is based on management's review and evaluation of the collateral properties
securing the mortgage loans. The review of collateral properties and properties
held for sale generally includes selective site inspections, a review of the
property's current rents compared to market rents, a review of the property's
expenses, a review of maintenance requirements, discussions with the manager of
the property, and a review of the surrounding area. Future quarterly reviews
could cause the Company's management to adjust current estimates of fair value.

The Company's management also evaluates the Company's properties held for
investment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. This evaluation
generally consists of a review of the property's cash flow and current and
projected market conditions, as well as any changes in general and local
economic conditions. If an impairment loss exists based on the results of this
review, a loss is recognized by a charge against current earnings and a
corresponding reduction in the respective asset's carrying value. The amount of
this impairment loss is equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the
property exceeds its estimated fair value.

Income Tax Aspects

The Company has elected and, in the opinion of the Company's management,
qualified to be treated as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"), as defined
under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"). The Code requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its REIT
taxable income plus 95% of its net income from foreclosure property, as defined
in Section 857 of the Code, to its shareholders.

Environmental Matters

Under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances, and
regulations, the Company may be potentially liable for removal or remediation
costs, as well as certain other potential costs (including governmental fines
and injuries to persons and property) relating to hazardous or toxic substances
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 from the Company for personal injury
associated with such materials.

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

financial statements and notes thereto and with the discussion set forth in
"Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Results of Operations" included elsewhere
in this report.

The Company generally considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of the
performance of an equity REIT. FFO, as defined by the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), equals net income (loss), computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding
gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and
joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. The amortization
of deferred financing costs is not

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Funds From Operations (Continued)

added back to net income (loss) in the Company's calculation. This treatment is
consistent with the Company's historical calculation of FFO. The Company
believes that FFO is useful to investors as a measure of the performance of an
equity REIT because, along with cash flows from operating activities, investing
activities, and financing activities, it provides investors an understanding of
the ability of the Company to incur and service debt and to make capital
expenditures. The Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear
understanding of its operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction
with net income (loss) as presented in the financial statements included
elsewhere in this report. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating
activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered an
alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's operating
performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity and is not necessarily
indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and cash distributions. The
Company's calculation of FFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO
utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other
REITs.
