PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
National Income Realty Trust (the "Trust") was organized as a California
business trust pursuant to a declaration of trust dated October 31, 1978, (as
amended, the "Declaration of Trust") and commenced operations on March 27, 1979.
The Trust elected to be treated as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"), as
defined under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
"Code") and, in the opinion of the Trust's management, has continuously
qualified for federal taxation as a REIT.
The Trust's principal offices are located at 280 Park Avenue, East Building,
20th Floor, New York, New York 10017. The telephone number is (212) 949-5000,
and the facsimile number is (214) 949-8001. In the opinion of the Trust's
management, these offices are suitable and adequate for its present operations.
Business Plan and Investment Policy
The Trust's business and only industry segment is investing in and developing
income-producing real estate directly and through partnerships and joint
ventures. At December 31, 1997, the Trust's real estate portfolio consisted of
61 properties, including 40 multifamily properties, 14 shopping centers, three
office buildings, three parcels of land, and one single family residence,
located throughout the continental United States, with concentrations in
Florida, Texas, California, and Colorado. The Trust also held investments in
eight real estate partnerships reported on the equity method (owning three
office buildings and six apartment complexes, four of which are under
construction). Due to the nature and diversity of the Trust's properties and
tenants, the Trust's business is not significantly affected by seasonal factors.
The Trust's acquisition strategy is opportunistic but focused on acquiring
properties that add to the efficiency of the Trust's portfolio. For example, all
13 of the apartment properties purchased by the Trust since the beginning of
1995 were in markets where the Trust already had a presence. Unlike most REITs,
the Trust acquires older and often troubled properties that are not considered
of institutional quality as well as better performing, new, or high quality
properties. The Trust has a policy of continuously improving and upgrading its
older properties in order to achieve increased revenues. During 1997, $16.9
million in capital expenditures were made to the operating apartment portfolio.
In addition, $1.4 million ($177 per unit) was expensed for recurring
replacements and repairs and maintenance. Management believes that a significant
portion of such expenditures was required to remedy deferred maintenance
existing at the time of acquisition and to upgrade maintenance and curb appeal.
Accordingly, such expenses are expected to decline on a per unit basis as the
proportion of stabilized properties in the Trust's portfolio increases.
The Trust has financed acquisitions and capital improvements largely through
mortgages and internally generated funds. As a matter of policy, cash
distributions have been held to less than fifty percent of funds from operations
("FFO"), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
(see ITEM 6. "SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA - Other Data" for the definition of FFO).
Funds for investment have also been generated by property sales and from the
collection of mortgages receivable, which will not be a material future source.
Accordingly, property sales and proceeds realized from financing or refinancing
are expected to provide the bulk of funds available for investment. In this
regard, the availability and cost of long term mortgage funds are key factors in
the Trust's ability to continue to make new investments without additional
equity offerings.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)
Possible Consolidation with Tarragon Realty Investors, Inc.
On February 19, 1998, the Trust and Tarragon Realty Investors, Inc., ("TRI")
jointly announced the agreement of their respective boards to form a single
consolidated entity with TRI, for convenience, as the survivor. The surviving
consolidated entity is intended to operate as a self-administered REIT. The
consolidation transaction will be submitted to shareholders of each of the Trust
and TRI for approval at special meetings to be held during 1998. Under the
proposed agreement, each shareholder of the Trust will receive 1.97 shares of
TRI common stock for each share of beneficial interest of the Trust held. TRI,
also a REIT, has a similar opportunistic approach to real estate investment and
had total consolidated assets of approximately $37 million as of December 31,
1997. Upon the approval and consummation of the consolidation transaction by the
respective shareholders of each entity, TRI will acquire Tarragon Realty
Advisors, Inc. ("Tarragon" or the "Advisor"), the Trust's advisor since April 1,
1994, and TRI's advisor since March 1, 1994, for 100,000 shares of common stock
of TRI and options to acquire additional shares of common stock of TRI at prices
ranging between $13 and $16 per share. The resulting consolidated enterprise
with TRI as the survivor will emerge from these transactions as an integrated,
self-administered, self-managed REIT controlling approximately 14,000 apartment
units and 2.1 million square feet of retail and office space, primarily in
California, Florida, and Texas. The consolidation transaction will be accounted
for as a reverse acquisition of TRI by the Trust.
William S. Friedman, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Trustee of the
Trust, also serves as Director and Chief Executive Officer of Tarragon and as
Director, President, and Chief Executive Officer of TRI. Tarragon is owned by
Mr. Friedman and his wife, Lucy N. Friedman. The Friedman family also owns
approximately 30% of the outstanding shares of common stock of TRI and
approximately 33% of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Trust.
Management of the Trust
The Board of Trustees (the "Board"), elected annually by the shareholders or
appointed by the incumbent Board until the next annual shareholder meeting, is
responsible for managing the affairs of the Trust. There are currently eight
members on the Board, seven of whom are unaffiliated with the Trust. Day-to-day
management is performed by Tarragon, which operates under the supervision of the
Board pursuant to a written advisory agreement approved by shareholders.
Tarragon's duties include, among other things, locating, investigating,
evaluating, and recommending real estate investment and sale opportunities and
financing and refinancing sources for the Trust. The Advisor also serves as a
consultant in connection with the business plan and investment policy decisions
made by the Board. A majority of the officers of the Trust are also officers of
Tarragon. The Trust has no employees. Employees of Tarragon provide executive
and administrative services to the Trust.
Tarragon also serves as the advisor to TRI. All of the officers of the Trust are
also officers of TRI. Tarragon and the Trust officers owe fiduciary duties to
TRI as well as to the Trust. Historically, in determining to which entity to
allocate a particular investment opportunity, Tarragon and the Trust officers
have considered the respective investment objectives of each entity and the
appropriateness of a particular investment in light of each entity's existing
real estate portfolio. To the extent that any particular investment opportunity
is appropriate for both entities, such investment opportunity has been allocated
to the entity which had uninvested funds for the longer period of time, or, if
appropriate, the investment has been shared between the entities. Tarragon
periodically informs the Board of real estate investments made by any of its
affiliates, and the Board periodically reviews the performance of such other
investments.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)
Property Management
Since April 1, 1994, Tarragon has provided property management services to the
Trust for a fee of 4.5% of the monthly gross rents collected on multifamily
properties and 1.5% to 5% of the monthly gross rents collected on commercial
properties. Tarragon subcontracts with other entities for the provision of some
of the property-level management services to the Trust. Beginning April 1, 1996,
Tarragon Management, Inc. ("TMI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tarragon,
assumed the property-level management of most of the Trust's properties for a
fee of 4.5% of the monthly gross rents collected.
Competition
The Trust has not experienced difficulty in locating investment opportunities.
Management believes that ownership of properties in which the Trust invests is
highly fragmented among individuals, partnerships, public and private
corporations, and other REITs. No single entity or person dominates the market
for such properties. At any given time, a significant number of multifamily
properties are available for purchase in the various markets where the Trust
seeks additional acquisitions. Management believes that there is and will
continue to be a strong demand for well-maintained, affordable housing in these
markets and that the factors discussed above provide a market where a sufficient
number of attractive investment opportunities will be available to allow the
Trust to continue to expand through acquisitions as well as through the
development of new properties. However, since the success of any multifamily
real estate investment is impacted by other factors outside the control of the
Trust, including general demand for apartment living, interest rates, operating
costs, and the ability to attract and retain qualified property managers, there
can be no assurances that the Trust will be successful in its plan to continue
to expand through acquisitions.
Certain Factors Associated with Real Estate and Related Investments
The Trust is subject to the risks associated with ownership, operation, and
financing of real estate. These risks include, but are not limited to, liability
for environmental hazards; changes in general or local economic conditions;
changes in interest rates and the availability of permanent mortgage financing
which may render the acquisition, sale, or refinancing of a property difficult
or unattractive and which may make debt service burdensome; changes in real
estate and zoning laws; changes in income taxes, real estate taxes, or federal
or local economic or rent controls; floods, earthquakes, and other acts of
nature; and other factors beyond the control of the Trust or Tarragon. The
illiquidity of real estate investments generally may impair the ability of the
Trust to respond promptly to changing circumstances. The Trust's management
believes that some of these risks are partially mitigated by the diversification
by geographic region and property type of the Trust's real estate. However, to
the extent new investments continue to be concentrated in any particular region
or property type, the advantages of diversification may diminish.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Details of the Trust's real estate portfolio at December 31, 1997, are set forth
in Schedule III to the Consolidated Financial Statements and NOTE 3. "REAL
ESTATE AND DEPRECIATION" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, both
included at ITEM 8. "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA." The
discussion set forth below provides certain summary information concerning the
Trust's real estate. To continue to qualify for federal taxation as a REIT under
the Code, the Trust is required, among other things, to hold at least 75% of the
value of its assets in real estate assets, government securities, and cash and
cash equivalents at the close of each quarter of each taxable year. At December
31, 1997, 88% of the Trust's assets consisted of equity investments in real
estate, 5% consisted of investments in partnerships which own real estate, and
2% consisted of cash and cash equivalents. The remaining 5% of the Trust's
assets at December 31, 1997, was restricted cash and other assets. It should be
noted, however, that the percentage of the Trust's assets invested in any one
category at any particular time is subject to change, and no assurance can be
given that the composition of the Trust's assets in the future will approximate
the percentages listed above.
During 1996 and 1997, the Trust purchased seven multifamily properties and one
shopping center, added one multifamily property to its portfolio by increasing
its interest in the partnership that owns it to 90%, acquired one shopping
center through a deed in lieu of foreclosure of collateral securing a mortgage
note receivable, and sold three multifamily properties and one office building.
Its multifamily portfolio consists of 7,987 operating apartments and 1,062
apartment units under construction which are owned by unconsolidated
partnerships. At December 31, 1997, the Trust's real estate portfolio consisted
of 61 properties, 53 of which were held for investment. The remaining eight
properties, some of which were obtained through foreclosure of collateral
securing the Trust's mortgage notes receivable, were held for sale. Eleven Trust
properties with an aggregate carrying value of $27.6 million were held free and
clear. The other 50 Trust properties were pledged to secure mortgages totaling
$182.5 million at December 31, 1997.
A summary of 1997 activity in the Trust's owned real estate portfolio is as

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES (Continued)
Types of Real Estate Investments. The Trust's real estate consists of
multifamily and commercial properties, primarily office buildings and shopping
centers, or similar properties having established income-producing capabilities.
In selecting real estate for investment, the Trust concentrates on properties
for which intensive management coupled with capital improvements can materially
increase value. The Trust favors buying or developing properties in areas in
which the Advisor has current market knowledge. The location, age, and type of
property, gross rentals, lease terms, financial and business standing of
tenants, operating expenses, fixed charges, land values, and physical condition
are also considered. The Trust may acquire properties subject to, or assume,
existing debt and may mortgage, pledge, or otherwise obtain financing for a
portion of its real estate. The Board may alter the types of and criteria for
selecting new equity investments and for obtaining financing without a vote of
shareholders to the extent such policies are not governed by the Declaration of
Trust.
Although the Trust has traditionally invested in a wide variety of developed,
income-producing real estate, the Trust intends to invest increasing amounts in
major apartment renovations and new construction or development projects either
directly or in partnership with others. To the extent the Trust invests in
construction and development projects, it is subject to the business risks, such
as cost overruns and delays, associated with such higher risk activities. The
Trust purchased The Vistas at Lake Worth ("The Vistas") in Fort Worth, Texas, in
December 1994. The Trust has invested $13 million in the expansion and
redevelopment of this property. Operations began at this property in December
1997, and the redevelopment of The Vistas was completed in the first quarter of
1998. During 1997, the Trust acquired interests in four partnerships that were
each established to construct a luxury apartment complex.
The following table presents the properties to be constructed by each
partnership:

(Unaudited)
(a) Amounts represent rental revenue per square foot on an annual basis.
Rental revenue is equal to gross potential rent after giving effect to all
rental losses including bad debts, vacancies, and discounts and
concessions. Gross potential rent equals actual lease rates on leased
units/space and market rates on vacant units/space.
(b) Represents annualized market rate per square foot at December 31, 1997,
based upon scheduled rents at such time.
(c) Computed as follows: [(Annual gross potential rent less annual vacancy
losses) divided by annual gross potential rent].
(d) Represents actual physical occupancy as of the end of the last week of the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.
(e) The weighted average rent per square foot and occupancy are based on the
square footage in each property.
(f) K-Mart's lease expired January 1994. At December 31, 1997, space had not
been re-leased.
(g) Lease expires September 2004. During the first quarter of 1995, K-Mart
moved out and sublet the space to two tenants.
(h) K-Mart's lease expires September 2002. K-Mart moved out in 1993 and
continues to pay the scheduled rent on the portion of the space it has not
sublet.
(i) For the purpose of this schedule, this property is included with 1996
acquisitions because operations began during 1996 although the property
was purchased in 1995.
(j) This property was acquired through a deed in lieu of foreclosure in
January 1996.
(k) For purposes of this schedule, this property is included with 1997
acquisitions because operations began during 1997 although the property
was purchased in 1994.
Management believes that its properties are adequately covered by liability and
casualty insurance, consistent with industry standards.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES (Continued)
Partnership Properties. The Trust and Continental Mortgage and Equity Trust
("CMET") own two fully leased office buildings in the vicinity of Sacramento,
California, as tenants-in-common with the Trust having a 70% undivided interest.
Under the terms of the joint tenancy agreement, the Trust and CMET must agree
over any material change in the operations of the properties, including sales,
refinancings, and changes in property management. The Trust, as a noncontrolling
partner, accounts for its investment in these properties using the equity
method.
In June 1995, the Trust acquired a 50% economic interest in an office building
located at 801 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C., (the "Property") through
the purchase of a first lien mortgage note with a face value of $8.5 million
(the "Note") for $3 million. In accordance with the terms of the Note, the
Trust's $3 million investment, as well as any additional advances made to the
Property, is to be repaid from Property cash flow after operating expenses with
interest at the rate of 11% per annum. The $5.5 million remaining balance of the
Note plus accrued interest entitles the Trust to 50% of all funds available
after Property operating expenses plus 50% of the proceeds from any sale and any
refinancing. The Note is nonrecourse to all parties and is secured only by the
Property. The Trust accounts for this investment using the equity method.
In January 1997, the Trust acquired 50% of RI Windsor, Ltd., which completed
construction of a 324-unit luxury apartment complex in Jacksonville, Florida,
known as The Mayfaire at Windsor Parke in March 1998. Initial operations began
at the property in August 1997. A portion of the $18.6 million construction cost
was financed by a $16 million construction loan.
In June 1997, the Trust acquired 50% of RI Panama City, Ltd., which is
constructing a 200-unit apartment property known as Harbour Green in Panama
City, Florida. Construction, at a total estimated cost of $10.5 million, is
expected to be complete in the second quarter of 1998. The partnership obtained
an $8.8 million construction loan to finance a portion of the construction. The
first units became available for rent in January 1998.
In September 1997, the Trust acquired 60% of Danforth National Apartments, Ltd.,
which is constructing a 288-unit apartment complex to be known as The Club at
Danforth in Jacksonville, Florida, for a total cost of $17.1 million. The
partnership obtained a $13.7 million construction loan in January 1998. This
property is expected to be complete in the third quarter of 1998. In February
1998, the Trust purchased another partner's interest in the partnership and
currently has an 80% interest in the partnership.
In December 1997, the Trust acquired a 50% interest in Tarragon Savannah, L.P.,
which is constructing a 250-unit apartment property to be known as The Links
at Georgetown in Savannah, Georgia. Total development cost is estimated at $14.5
million, $12 million of which will be provided by a construction loan.
Construction is expected to be complete in the second quarter of 1999.
The Trust has advanced substantially all of the equity for these four
construction projects as interest-bearing priority loans to these partnerships.
Principals of the Trust's partners have personally guaranteed each of the
construction loans.
In December 1997, the Trust acquired a 70% interest in Ansonia Apartments, L.P.
("Ansonia"). This partnership purchased two operating apartment properties,
Meriden East with 66 units in Meriden, Connecticut, and Autumn Ridge with 116
units in East Haven, Connecticut, in December 1997 for an aggregate purchase
price of $3.8 million, $2.9 million of which was financed through mortgages on
each property.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES (Continued)
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the operating
properties owned by Trust partnerships (including Mayfaire at Windsor Parke for
which initial operations began in August 1997) as of December 31, 1997. Although
the two properties owned by Ansonia are operating, because they were purchased
in December 1997 and have less than one month's activity during 1997, Ansonia is
excluded from the following table.

losses) divided by annual gross potential rent].
(c) Property was constructed and began operating during 1997. Therefore, there
is no 1996 information.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Trust is a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business. Management of the Trust 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, financial position, or results
of operations. Also, see ITEM 10. "TRUSTEES, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND ADVISOR OF
THE REGISTRANT" for a description of the results of the Olive modification.

Trust's share was $451,000.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA (Continued)
OTHER DATA (Continued)
- -------------------------
(3) The Trust generally considers funds from operations ("FFO") to be an
appropriate measure of the performance of an equity real estate investment
trust ("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 of real estate assets, 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 added back to net income (loss) in the Trust's
calculation. This treatment is consistent with the Trust's historical
calculation of FFO. The Trust 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
Trust to incur and service debt and to make capital expenditures. The
Trust 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 Trust'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 Trust'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.
Effective January 1, 1997, the Trust modified its calculation of FFO to
include the add back of amortization of leasing commissions associated
with its commercial properties. The Trust believes that this treatment is
consistent with a majority of other REITs. If the Trust had calculated FFO
in the same manner for each of the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995,
1994, and 1993, FFO would have been higher by $262,000, $272,000,
$235,000, and $244,000, respectively.
Included in FFO for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1995, and 1994, are
gains totaling $698,000, $412,000, and $141,000, respectively, resulting
from the Trust's sale of investments in marketable equity securities.
Included in FFO for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1996, are
provisions for losses of $1.4 million and $300,000, respectively. Included
in FFO for the year ended December 31, 1995, is a provision for losses
credit of $425,000. See NOTE 2. "ALLOWANCE FOR ESTIMATED LOSSES AND
PROVISIONS FOR LOSSES" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for descriptions of the 1996 and 1995 provisions for losses. The 1993
provision for losses was recorded to provide allowances for estimated
losses against one property held for sale and one mortgage note
receivable.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes thereto.
Introduction
National Income Realty Trust (the "Trust") invests in income-producing real
estate through acquisitions, leases and partnerships. The Trust was organized on
October 31, 1978, and commenced operations on March 27, 1979. At December 31,
1997, the Trust's real estate portfolio included 61 properties (eight held for
sale) located throughout the United States, with concentrations in the Southeast
and Southwest. These properties include 40 apartment complexes, 14 shopping
centers, three office buildings, three parcels of land, and one single-family
residence. All of the Trust's real estate, except for eleven properties, is
encumbered by mortgages. The Trust's current policy is to make mortgage loans
only in connection with, and to facilitate, the sale or acquisition of real
estate. Accordingly, as existing mortgages are paid off, the Trust's portfolio
of mortgage notes receivable has declined and is expected to continue to
decline.
The Trust's objective is to maximize the long term value of its real estate
portfolio with an emphasis on increasing operating income and future cash
distributions to shareholders. Management focuses on both the appreciation of
the existing real estate portfolio, through intensive management and capital
improvements, and enlarging the portfolio with highly selective and
opportunistic acquisitions concentrated on older, under-managed, and
under-performing multifamily projects in geographical regions where the Trust
presently owns properties. The Trust also intends to invest increasing amounts
in new construction of apartment properties either directly or through
partnerships. In the first quarter of 1998, the Trust completed construction of
two apartment properties, one of which is owned through a partnership. The Trust
currently has three apartment properties under construction, all of which are
owned through partnerships. To the extent it invests in construction projects,
the Trust is subject to business risks, such as cost overruns and delays,
associated with such higher risk activities. In addition to raising capital
through operating income, the Trust intends to generate capital through mortgage
refinancings and selective disposition of certain assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents aggregated $4.3 million at December 31, 1997, compared
with $3.9 million at December 31, 1996. The Trust's principal sources of cash
have been property operations and external sources, such as property sales and
refinancings. The Trust expects these sources will continue to be sufficient to
meet projected cash requirements, including debt service obligations, property
maintenance and improvements, and continuation of regular distributions.
Operating Activities
The Trust's cash flow from property operations (rentals collected less payments
for property operating expenses) continues to increase from $17.6 million in
1995 to $19.3 million in 1996 and $20.7 million in 1997, primarily due to
acquisitions made in 1995, 1996, and 1997. In September 1996, the Trust sold
Century Centre II Office Building ("Century Centre") for $28.2 million. In 1995
and 1996, Century Centre had accounted for $1.4 million and $1.5 million,
respectively, of cash flow from operations. See NOTE 3. "REAL ESTATE AND
DEPRECIATION" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion
of the sale.

Investing Activities
The Trust purchased six apartment communities in 1995, two in 1996, and five in
1997, increasing the Trust's multifamily portfolio by 1,991 units. The Trust
also purchased a 52,288 square foot shopping center in 1997. The aggregate
purchase prices for the 1995, 1996, and 1997 acquisitions were $11.4 million,
$9.4 million, and $23.4 million respectively. The aggregate cash portions of the
purchase prices for the 1995, 1996, and 1997 acquisitions were $3.8 million,
$3.2 million, and $13.7 million, respectively. The balance of the acquisition
cost was financed through mortgages on certain of the properties.
The Trust also added 300 units to its multifamily portfolio through its
acquisition of an additional 40% interest in English Village Partners, L.P.
("English Village"), increasing its total ownership to 90%, for $1 million in
July 1997. While the Trust previously accounted for its investment in English
Village using the equity method, English Village is now consolidated.
In 1997, the Trust sold multifamily properties in Sacramento, California,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Kansas City, Missouri, each in which the Trust
owned only a single property, in separate transactions for an aggregate sale
price of $14 million, receiving net cash proceeds of $6.4 million. In
September 1996, the Trust sold Century Centre for $28.2 million, receiving net
cash proceeds of $6.2 million. During 1995, the Trust sold major portions of
Lake Highlands land in Dallas, Texas, and K-Mart Shopping Center in Kansas City,
Missouri. The Trust received aggregate net cash proceeds of $1.6 million in
connection with the 1995 sales.
During 1995, 1996, and 1997, the Trust made real estate improvements totaling $8
million, $13.5 million, and $27.3 million, respectively, to its properties,
including $1.1 million, $5.9 million, and $9.7 million, respectively, on
construction at redevelopment properties. Construction at The Vistas at Lake
Worth was completed in the first quarter of 1998 with 1998 construction costs of
$1.3 million. The Trust anticipates capital improvement expenditures on its
other properties during 1998 to total approximately $13.3 million.
In addition to capital improvements noted above, payments for property operating
expenses in 1995, 1996, and 1997 include property replacements of $2.5 million,
$2.8 million, and $2.1 million, respectively. Property replacements include such
items as plumbing replacements, landscaping, exterior painting, parking lot
improvements, and, in 1995 and 1996, carpet and appliances. In 1997, the Trust
began capitalizing carpet, appliances, and heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning replacements. See discussion below under "Implementation of Change
in Accounting Estimate."
During 1995, 1996, and 1997, the Trust received $3.6 million, $2.1 million, and
$187,000, respectively, representing collections of notes receivable. The Trust
expects mortgage note collections to continue to decline as existing mortgage
loans are paid off and does not anticipate funding mortgage loans in the future,
except in connection with, or to facilitate, the sale of real estate.
In January and February 1995, the Trust sold its remaining 39,500 shares of
beneficial interest of Continental Mortgage and Equity Trust ("CMET") for
$593,000 in cash.

Investing Activities (Continued)
In June 1995, the Trust acquired a 50% economic interest in an office building
in Washington, D.C., through the purchase of a first lien mortgage note with a
face value of $8.5 million (the "Note") for $500,000 in cash and a $2.5 million
promissory note which the Trust paid off in September 1995. In accordance with
the terms of the agreement with the property owner, the Trust's $3 million
investment is to be repaid with interest at 11% per annum from cash flow after
operating expenses. The remaining $5.5 million balance of the Note plus accrued
interest may be satisfied by payment of 50% of all funds available after
property operating expenses plus 50% of the proceeds from any sale and any
refinancing. The Trust intends to refinance the property in 1998 for an amount
substantially in excess of its investment.
The Trust and CMET were partners in Income Special Associates ("ISA"), a general
partnership in which the Trust had a 40% interest in earnings, losses, and
distributions. ISA in turn owned a 100% interest in Indcon, L.P. ("Indcon"),
which owned four industrial warehouses at December 31, 1997. During the first
half of 1996, Indcon sold 27 warehouses for $41.2 million, receiving net cash
proceeds of $16.8 million, after the payoff of the existing $23.5 million
mortgage loan and related closing costs. Indcon distributed $6.8 million to the
Trust as its proportionate share of the sale proceeds plus an allowance for
brokerage commissions. In November 1997, the Trust sold its interest in the
partnership to CMET for $1.6 million in cash.
During 1997, the Trust acquired interests in five partnerships in exchange for
capital contributions totaling $1.6 million. Four of the partnerships are each
constructing a luxury apartment complex for a total of 1,062 units. The fifth
partnership purchased two operating properties with a total of 182 units in
December 1997. The Trust also made aggregate advances to these partnerships of
$8.4 million. The advances bear interest at market rates and are to be repaid
out of the first funds available to the respective partnership.
Also, during 1997, the Trust made investments in marketable equity securities of
unaffiliated real estate companies of $2.5 million. During this same period, the
Trust sold $2.6 million in marketable equity securities and realized gains on
these sales totaling $698,000. As of December 31, 1997, there were unrealized
gains on the remaining investments of $133,000.
During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Trust advanced $696,000 to National Omni
Associates, L.P., ("Omni") in exchange for a 46% interest in the partnership. In
January and February 1998, the Trust advanced an additional $4.6 million to the
partnership. In February 1998, Omni purchased 5600 Collins Avenue, a 289-unit
luxury high rise apartment building in Miami Beach, Florida, for $32 million.
$26 million of the purchase price was financed through first and second lien
mortgage debt.

Financing Activities
During 1997, the Trust obtained first and interim mortgage financing (including
advances under line of credit facilities) totaling $77.3 million secured by 15
properties and received $38.5 million of net cash proceeds after the payoff of
$32.9 million in existing mortgage debt on such properties, establishing
required escrows, and paying associated closing costs. In addition, the Trust
paid off a $1.3 million mortgage loan secured by Southgate Shopping Center,
scheduled to mature in 2003, for $850,000. In connection with the payoff, the
Trust recognized a $431,000 extraordinary gain on forgiveness of debt. The
Trust also made $2.5 million of other principal payments in 1997.
During 1996, the Trust obtained first mortgage financing totaling $34.3 million
secured by nine Trust properties and received net cash proceeds of $7.3 million
after the payoff of $24.4 million in existing mortgage debt on such properties,
establishing required escrows, and paying associated closing costs. The Trust
also paid off mortgage loans scheduled to mature in 1996 totaling $689,000 and
made $3.4 million of other principal payments.
During 1995, the Trust obtained $18 million in first mortgage financing on five
Trust properties and received net cash proceeds of $4.5 million after the payoff
of $12.2 million in existing mortgage debt. The Trust also obtained short term
financing totaling $5.5 million, $2.5 million of which was paid off in 1996,
which was used to facilitate the payoff of three mortgage loans totaling $6.4
million. Additionally, in September 1995, the Trust paid $2.4 million in
satisfaction of the note payable which financed the acquisition of the 801
Pennsylvania Avenue investment. The Trust also extended or paid off mortgage
loans scheduled to mature in 1995 totaling $5 million and made other principal
payments totaling $2.3 million.
Mortgage principal payments totaling $16.2 million are due in 1998, including
$14.1 million of balloon payments. The Trust intends to either pay off the
maturing mortgages or extend the due dates while seeking to obtain long term
refinancing. However, while management is confident of its ability to acquire
financing as needed, there is no assurance that the Trust will continue to be
successful in its efforts in this regard.
Based on the performance of the Trust's properties, the Trust's Board of
Trustees (the "Board") voted in July 1993 to resume the payment of regular
quarterly cash distributions to shareholders. Cash distributions paid to
shareholders totaled $2.5 million, $2.7 million, and $2.1 million in 1995, 1996,
and 1997, respectively. The Trust also paid 10% share distributions in September
of each of 1995, 1996, and 1997.
During 1995, 1996, and 1997, the Trust repurchased 123,500, 285,189, and 48,472,
of its shares of beneficial interest at a cost of $1.4 million, $3.7 million,
and $748,000, respectively. During 1996, the Board authorized the Trust to
repurchase up to an additional 281,592 shares of beneficial interest, of which
216,363 were purchased during 1996 and 1997.
Two partnerships in which the Trust holds interests obtained first mortgage
financing during 1995. The Trust received distributions totaling $3 million
representing its share of the net refinancing proceeds.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Results of Operations
1997 COMPARED TO 1996. The Trust reported net income of $5.6 million for the
year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $4.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996. The improvement in operating results is primarily related to
increased net rental income as discussed below. Other components of this change
are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Net rental income increased from $19.4 million for the year ended December 31,
1996, to $22.1 million for the corresponding period in 1997.
Multifamily Properties
The Trust's multifamily portfolio, which represented 79% of the Trust's
real estate and included 7,987 operating apartments at December 31, 1997,
reported an increase in net rental income of $3.5 million, or 24%, for the
year ended December 31, 1997, compared to the corresponding period in
1996. Of this increase, $1.3 million is related to properties acquired in
1996 and 1997. A decrease of $511,000 resulted from the sale of three
multifamily properties in 1997. The portfolio of 30 apartment properties
with 5,935 units owned for all of 1996 and 1997 generated an increase of
$2.7 million, or 21%. Net rental income as a percentage of rental revenue
for the 5,935 units increased from 38% to 44%. Rental revenue for the same
store multifamily properties increased $1.6 million, or 5%, chiefly due to
higher rental rates at certain properties. Average monthly rental revenue
per unit for the same store properties increased 5% from $474 to $496.
Property operating expenses on a same store basis decreased $1.1 million,
or 5%, $957,000 of which is due to a decrease in replacements resulting
from the change in accounting pursuant to which the Trust began
capitalizing carpet, appliances, and heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning replacements in 1997. See discussion below under
"Implementation of Change in Accounting Estimate." Overall occupancy
levels for multifamily properties held in both years increased slightly in
1997 compared to 1996.
Commercial Properties
The Trust's commercial portfolio included 1.6 million square feet at
December 31, 1997. An increase in net rental income of $112,000 resulted
from the addition of Jackson Square and Mariner Plaza Shopping Centers,
acquired in January 1996 and August 1997, respectively. A decrease of $1.2
million resulted from the sale of Century Centre in September 1996.
Commercial properties held in both years reported an overall increase in
net rental income of $598,000 principally due to higher rents coupled with
lower economic vacancies resulting from improved overall physical
occupancy levels.
Equity in income of partnerships was $643,000 for the year ended December 31,
1997, compared to $1.5 million for the corresponding period in 1996. This
decrease was primarily due to 1996 income related to the distribution of
financing proceeds by Sacramento Nine ("SAC 9") and English Village in excess of
the Trust's investments in those partnerships.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Results of Operations (Continued)
Interest expense was $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1997,
compared to $12 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. An increase of
$1.1 million resulted from interest on mortgage loans obtained or assumed in
connection with 1996 and 1997 property acquisitions. In addition, long term and
interim first mortgage financing, including advances under line of credit
facilities, obtained on existing properties during 1996 and 1997 increased
mortgage loans by $35.8 million and the related interest expense by $1.7 million
for this period. A $1.4 million decrease resulted from the sale of four
properties during 1996 and 1997. The remaining decrease is due to interest
capitalized to the carrying values of unencumbered development properties during
1996 and 1997.
Depreciation expense increased from $5.4 million for the year ended December 31,
1996, to $7 million for the corresponding period in 1997 due to additional
depreciation associated with the 1996 and 1997 property acquisitions and capital
improvements to its existing real estate between 1995 and 1997.
Advisory fees to Tarragon Realty Advisors, Inc. ("Tarragon"), were $1.4 million
in 1997 and $1.1 million in 1996. The advisory fee is an incentive fee equal to
16% per annum of adjusted funds from operations, as defined in the advisory
agreement approved by the Board and shareholders. Funds from operations ("FFO"),
as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts,
increased from $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, to $8.5
million for the year ended December 31, 1997. However, for purposes of
calculating the advisory fee, the effect of the accounting change is excluded
from FFO. See ITEM 6. "SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA" for the calculation and
definition of FFO.
During 1997, the Trust recognized gains totaling $4.4 million on the sale of
Plaza Hills Apartments, Huntington Green Apartments, and Pheasant Pointe
Apartments and a $54,000 loss related to the sale of a warehouse owned by
Indcon, in which the Trust held an effective 40% interest until November 1997.
During 1997, the Trust recognized gains totaling $698,000 related to the sale of
investments in marketable equity securities and a gain of $215,000 on the sale
of the Trust's investment in Indcon.
1997 extraordinary items include an extraordinary gain on debt forgiveness of
$431,000 in connection with the discounted payoff of the mortgage loan secured
by Southgate Shopping Center and prepayment penalties and the write-off of
deferred financing expenses totaling $370,000 in connection with certain 1997
refinancings.
1996 COMPARED TO 1995. The Trust reported net income of $4.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $708,000 for the year ended December
31, 1995. The primary reason for the improvement in operating results is the
$3.7 million gain on the sale of Century Centre in September 1996. The other
underlying components of the change in the Trust's results of operations are
discussed in the following paragraphs.
Net rental income increased from $18.1 million for the year ended December 31,
1995, to $19.4 million for the corresponding period in 1996.

Results of Operations (Continued)
Multifamily Properties
The Trust's multifamily portfolio, which represented 75% of the Trust's
real estate and included 7,078 operating units at December 31, 1996,
reported an increase in net rental income of $1.2 million, or 9%, for the
year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to the corresponding period in
1995, primarily due to properties acquired after 1994. Net rental income
for multifamily properties held in both years remained relatively stable.
Increased rental revenue from higher rental rates was offset by increased
operating expenses related to the Trust's continued efforts to improve its
properties. Overall, both physical and economic occupancy levels increased
slightly for multifamily properties held in both years.
Commercial Properties
The Trust's commercial portfolio included 1.6 million square feet at
December 31, 1996. An increase in net rental income of $206,000 resulted
from the addition of Jackson Square Shopping Center, acquired through a
deed in lieu of foreclosure in January 1996. A decrease of $549,000
resulted from the sale of two commercial properties in 1995 and 1996.
Century Centre, which was sold in September 1996, generated net rental
income of $1.2 million in 1996 prior to its sale and $1.6 million in 1995.
Commercial properties held in both years reported an overall increase in
net rental income of $459,000, principally due to lower vacancies.
Interest revenue decreased from $1.1 million for the year ended December 31,
1995, to $631,000 for the corresponding period in 1996. This decrease resulted
from the payoff of the Greentree mortgage note receivable in September 1995 and
the acquisition of Jackson Square Shopping Center through deed in lieu of
foreclosure in January 1996.
Equity in income of partnerships was $1.5 million for the year ended December
31, 1996, compared to $770,000 for the corresponding period in 1995. This
increase was primarily due to distribution of financing proceeds by SAC 9 and
English Village in excess of the Trust's investments in those partnerships.
Interest expense was $12 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, as
compared to $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. An increase of
$302,000 resulted from interest on mortgage loans obtained or assumed in
connection with 1995 and 1996 property acquisitions. In addition, long term and
interim first mortgage financing obtained during 1995 and 1996 increased
mortgage loans by $14.2 million and the related interest expense by $459,000 for
this period. Decreases totaling $1.2 million resulted from the sale of two
commercial properties in 1995 and 1996 and interest capitalized to the carrying
values of unencumbered development properties during 1995 and 1996.
Depreciation expense decreased from $6 million for the year ended December 31,
1995, to $5.4 million for the corresponding period in 1996. Effective January 1,
1996, the Trust's adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 121, which required the Trust to cease depreciation of its real estate held
for sale.

Results of Operations (Continued)
Advisory fees to Tarragon were $1.1 million in 1996 and $1 million in 1995. The
advisory fee is an incentive fee equal to 16% per annum of adjusted funds from
operations, as defined in the advisory agreement approved by the Board and
shareholders. Prior to April 1995, the advisory agreement also called for a
$100,000 annual base fee. FFO decreased from $6.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995, to $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. See
ITEM 6. "SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA" for the calculation and definition of FFO.
In September 1996, the Trust recorded a $300,000 provision for loss to reduce
the carrying value of Mariposa Manor Apartments to its then estimated fair
value.
During 1995, the Trust recorded a provision for loss credit of $425,000. This
credit was comprised of a provision for loss of $275,000 to reduce the net
carrying value of K-Mart Shopping Center in Kansas City, Missouri, to its net
sale proceeds and a reversal of a previously provided allowance for estimated
loss of $700,000 against Pepperkorn Office Building which was determined to no
longer be necessary after litigation involving the property was decided in favor
of the Trust.
In addition to the $3.7 million gain on the sale of Century Centre discussed
previously, during 1996, the Trust reported a gain of $22,000 on the sale of
real estate related to the sale of 27 Indcon warehouses and a $451,000 gain due
to Indcon's insurance settlement received as a result of the warehouse fire in
September 1995. During 1995, the Trust reported a gain of $412,000 on the sale
of shares of beneficial interest of CMET and gains totaling $533,000 on sales of
portions of Lake Highlands land.
Implementation of Change in Accounting Estimate
Effective January 1, 1997, the Trust implemented prospectively a change in
accounting estimate whereby capital expenditures for carpet, appliances, and
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) replacements are capitalized
rather than expensed. The Trust believes that capitalizing these expenditures
and depreciating them over lives ranging from three to five years more
appropriately reflects the timing of the economic benefits to be received from
these expenditures. Additionally, the Trust believes this treatment is
consistent with policies currently being used by a majority of other REITs.
However, comparability of FFO between REITs is affected by the method of
accounting for these items. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the effect of
this change in accounting estimate was to decrease property operating expenses
and increase net income by $957,000. Had the Trust implemented this change on
January 1, 1995, property operating expenses for the years ended December 31,
1995 and 1996, would have been reduced by $1 million and $1.1 million,
respectively. This change has no effect on the advisory fee as Tarragon waived
any fee resulting from this change in accounting estimate.

Allowance for Estimated Losses and Provisions for Losses
The Trust's management periodically evaluates the carrying values of the Trust's
properties held for sale. Generally accepted accounting principles require that
the carrying value of 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 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 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 evaluations could cause the Trust's
management to adjust current estimates of fair value.
The Trust's management also evaluates the Trust'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
evaluation, 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.
Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances, and
regulations, the Trust 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 Trust for personal injury
associated with such materials.
The Trust's management is not aware of any environmental liability relating to
the above matters that would have a material adverse effect on the Trust's
business, financial position, or results of operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Tax Matters
For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, the Trust elected, and in
the opinion of the Trust's 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 (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, on an annual
basis to shareholders.
Impact of the Year 2000 Issue
The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Trust's
computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or
engage in similar normal business activities.
The Trust has initiated an assessment to determine the extent to which the Trust
is vulnerable to Year 2000 Issues. Management does not anticipate a material
impact on the Trust's business, financial position, or results of operations
from the Year 2000 Issue.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
130 - "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. Comprehensive income is defined as "the
change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and
other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes
in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and
distributions to owners." The Trust will adopt this statement, as required, on
January 1, 1998, and expects the only effect of adoption to be reporting of
comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Also in June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131 - "Disclosures About Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," which supersedes SFAS No. 14 -
"Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise," SFAS No. 18 -
"Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise - Interim Financial
Statements," SFAS No. 24 - "Reporting Segment Information in Financial
Statements that are Presented in Another Enterprise's Financial Report," and
SFAS No. 30 - "Disclosure of Information About Major Customers." This statement
is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15,
1997. The Trust's management has not fully evaluated the effects of implementing
this statement but expects the Company's current financial statement disclosures
will not be affected.

Possible Consolidation with Tarragon Realty Investors, Inc.
On February 19, 1998, the Trust and Tarragon Realty Investors, Inc., ("TRI")
jointly announced the agreement of their respective boards to form a single
consolidated entity with TRI, for convenience, as the survivor. The surviving
consolidated entity is intended to operate as a self-administered REIT. The
consolidation transaction will be submitted to shareholders of each of the Trust
and TRI for approval at special meetings to be held during 1998. Under the
proposed agreement, each shareholder of the Trust will receive 1.97 shares of
TRI common stock for each share of beneficial interest of the Trust held. TRI,
also a REIT, has a similar opportunistic approach to real estate investment and
had total consolidated assets of approximately $37 million as of December 31,
1997. Upon the approval and consummation of the consolidation transaction by the
respective shareholders of each entity, TRI will acquire Tarragon, the Trust's
advisor since April 1, 1994, and TRI's advisor since March 1, 1994, for 100,000
shares of common stock of TRI and options to acquire additional shares of common
stock of TRI at prices ranging between $13 and $16 per share. The resulting
consolidated enterprise with TRI as the survivor will emerge from these
transactions as an integrated, self-administered, self-managed REIT controlling
approximately 14,000 apartment units and 2.1 million square feet of retail and
office space, primarily in California, Florida, and Texas. The consolidation
transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition of TRI by the Trust.
William S. Friedman, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Trustee of the
Trust, also serves as Director and Chief Executive Officer of Tarragon and as
Director, President, and Chief Executive Officer of TRI. Tarragon is owned by
Mr. Friedman and his wife, Lucy N. Friedman. The Friedman family also owns
approximately 30% of the outstanding shares of common stock of TRI and
approximately 33% of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Trust.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Trustees of National Income Realty Trust
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of National Income
Realty Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of National Income Realty Trust
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The Supplemental Schedule III is
presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NATIONAL INCOME REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of National Income Realty
Trust, subsidiaries, and the consolidated partnerships have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the most
significant of which are described in NOTE 1. "SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES." The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an
integral part of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The data presented in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are as of December 31 of each
year and for the year then ended, unless otherwise indicated. Dollar amounts in
tables are in thousands, except per share amounts.
Certain balances for 1995 and 1996 have been reclassified to conform to the 1997
presentation.
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Trust business. National Income Realty Trust ("NIRT" or the
"Trust") is a California business trust organized on October 31, 1978. The Trust
was formed to invest in real estate, including commercial and multifamily
properties.
Basis of consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the
accounts of NIRT, its subsidiaries, and partnerships which it controls. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Real estate and depreciation. Real estate held for sale is carried at the lower
of cost or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. Real estate held
for investment is carried at cost unless an impairment is determined to exist,
as discussed below. Impaired properties are written down to their estimated fair
values. Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at new cost, defined as the
lower of the Trust's note receivable carrying amount or the fair value of the
collateral property less estimated costs of sale. The Trust capitalizes property
improvements and major rehabilitation projects which increase the value of the
respective property and have useful lives greater than one year, except for
individual expenditures less than $10,000 which are not part of a planned
renovation project. Under this policy, during 1997, expenditures of $27.9
million were capitalized, including $10 million related to the redevelopment of
The Vistas at Lake Worth, and property replacements of $2.1 million were
expensed. Property replacements include, but are not limited to, such items as
landscaping, exterior painting, and parking lot improvements. Depreciation is
provided against real estate held for investment by the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to 40
years.
The Trust capitalizes interest on funds used in constructing property from the
date of initiation of construction activities through the time the property is
ready for leasing. The Trust also capitalizes property taxes and insurance costs
during the construction period. Interest, property taxes, and insurance
expenditures of $945,000 and $693,000 were capitalized during 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

<PAGE> 40
NATIONAL INCOME REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Effective January 1, 1997, the Trust implemented prospectively a change in
accounting estimate whereby capital expenditures for carpet, appliances, and
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) replacements are capitalized
rather than expensed. The Trust believes that capitalizing these expenditures
and depreciating them over lives ranging from three to five years more
appropriately reflects the timing of the economic benefits to be received from
these expenditures. Additionally, the Trust believes this treatment is
consistent with policies currently being used by other real estate investment
trusts. This change has no effect on the advisory fee as Tarragon Realty
Advisors, Inc. ("Tarragon"), the Trust's advisor since April 1, 1994, waived any
fee resulting from this change in accounting estimate.
The Trust's management evaluates the Trust'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 the estimated fair value.
At least annually, all properties held for sale are reviewed by the Trust's
management, and a determination is made if the held for sale classification
remains appropriate. Following are among the factors considered in determining
that a change in classification to held for investment is appropriate: (i) the
property has been held for at least one year; (ii) Trust management has no
intent to dispose of the property within the next twelve months; (iii) the
property is a "qualifying asset" as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
(the "Code"); (iv) property improvements have been funded; and (v) the Trust's
financial resources are such that the property can be held long-term.
The Trust adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121 -
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of" on January 1, 1996. There was no cumulative effect nor any
impact on the Trust's financial position as a result of the adoption. Pursuant
to the adoption, the Trust ceased depreciation of its properties held for sale.
Allowance for estimated losses. Valuation allowances are provided for estimated
losses on notes receivable and properties held for sale to the extent that the
investment in the notes or properties exceeds the Trust's estimate of fair value
less estimated selling costs of the collateral securing the notes or the
properties. The provisions for losses are based on estimates, and actual losses
may vary from current estimates. Such estimates are reviewed periodically. Any
additional provision determined to be necessary or the reversal of any existing
allowance no longer required is recorded by a charge or credit to current
earnings.
Cash equivalents. The Trust considers all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted cash. Restricted cash represents escrow accounts, generally held by
the lenders of certain of the Trust's mortgage notes payable, for taxes,
insurance, and property repairs.

NATIONAL INCOME REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Other assets. Other assets consist primarily of notes and interest receivable,
marketable equity securities, tenant accounts receivable, deferred borrowing
costs, and prepaid leasing commissions. Marketable equity securities are
considered to be available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, defined as
year end closing market value. Net unrealized holding gains and losses are
reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Deferred borrowing
costs are amortized on the straight-line method (which approximates the
effective interest method) over the related loans terms, and such amortization
is included in interest expense. Prepaid leasing commissions are amortized to
leasing commission expense, included in property operating expenses, on the
straight-line method over the related lease terms.
Revenue recognition on the sale of real estate. Gains on sales of real estate
are recognized when and to the extent permitted by SFAS No. 66. - "Accounting
for Sales of Real Estate." 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 methods, whichever is appropriate.
Investment in noncontrolled partnerships. The Trust uses the equity method to
account for investments in partnerships it does not control. Under the equity
method, the Trust's initial investment is increased by the Trust's proportionate
share of the partnership's operating income and additional advances and
decreased by the Trust's proportionate share of the partnership's operating
losses and distributions received.
Earnings per share. Net income per share of beneficial interest (the "Shares"
and each a "Share") is computed based upon the weighted average number of Shares
outstanding during each year. Share and per share data have been restated to
give effect to 10% share distributions paid in September 1996 and September
1997.
On December 31, 1997, the Trust adopted SFAS No. 128 - "Reporting Earnings Per
Share," which superseded the Accounting Principles Board's Opinion No. 15 ("APB
No. 15") "Earnings Per Share." This statement requires business enterprises with
other than simple capital structures to report both basic and diluted earnings
per share for each period for which a statement of operations is presented.
There was no cumulative effect nor any impact on the Trust's financial position
as a result of the adoption.
Fair value of financial instruments. SFAS No. 107 - "Disclosures About Fair
Value of Financial Instruments" requires the Trust to disclose the estimated
fair values of its financial instrument assets and liabilities.
Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent
information available to management as of December 31, 1997 and 1996.
Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop
estimated fair values. Accordingly, the estimated fair values presented do not
purport to present amounts to be ultimately realized or paid by the Trust, which
may vary significantly from the estimated fair values presented. The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material
effect on the estimated fair values.

NATIONAL INCOME REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Trust's management estimates that the
carrying amounts approximate fair value for cash and cash equivalents and
restricted cash because of the short maturities of those instruments. In
addition, the carrying amounts of notes receivable and other liabilities
approximate fair value. The fair values of the Trust's notes payable are
estimated by discounting future expected cash flows using current rates for
loans with similar terms and maturities.
Share option plans. On January 1, 1996, the Trust adopted SFAS No. 123 -
"Accounting and Disclosure of Stock-Based Compensation," which requires
disclosures based on the fair values of share options at the date of grant.
There was no cumulative effect nor any impact on the Trust's financial position
as a result of the adoption. The Trust will continue to measure any compensation
costs associated with the issue of share options using the guidance provided by
APB No. 25. Under APB No. 25, compensation costs related to share options issued
pursuant to compensatory plans are measured based on the difference between the
quoted market price of the shares at the measurement date (ordinarily the date
of grant) and the exercise price and should be charged to expense over the
periods during which the grantee performs the related services. All share
options issued to date by the Trust have exercise prices equal to the market
price of the shares at the dates of grant. See NOTE 9. "SHARE OPTIONS."

In 1995, the Trust recorded a provision for loss credit of $425,000 comprised of
the reversal of a $700,000 allowance provided in 1993 against Pepperkorn Office
Building and a provision of $275,000 to reduce the carrying value of K-Mart
Shopping Center in Kansas City, Missouri, to the net sale proceeds received in

In connection with obtaining the acquisition financing of $2.7 million and
$564,000, respectively, for Mustang Creek and Park Norton in 1995, the Trust
paid Tarragon mortgage brokerage fees totaling $32,440. Also, in connection with
the acquisition of River City Landing in 1996, the seller paid Mr. Bruce A.
Schnitz, Chief Operating Officer of the Trust and Tarragon, a commission of
$82,563 pursuant to a brokerage agreement entered into prior to Mr. Schnitz's
affiliation with Tarragon and the Trust.
The Trust also added 300 units to its multifamily portfolio in July 1997 when it
acquired an additional 40% interest in English Village Partners, L.P., for $1
million. As the Trust now holds a 90% interest in the partnership, the
operations of English Village Apartments, located in Memphis, Tennessee, and
subject to a $6.1 million mortgage, have been consolidated since July 1997.

NOTE 3. REAL ESTATE AND DEPRECIATION (Continued)
The Trust sold Plaza Hills Apartments in Kansas City, Missouri, Huntington Green
Apartments in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Pheasant Pointe Apartments in
Sacramento, California, during 1997 for an aggregate sale price of $14
million, receiving net cash proceeds of $6.4 million and recognizing gains on
the sales totaling $4.4 million.
In November 1995, the City of Indianapolis, Indiana, (the "City") initiated
condemnation proceedings against the Trust's K-Mart Shopping Center acquired
through a deed in lieu of foreclosure in December 1994. The shopping center was
vacant at the time the Trust acquired it, although leased to K-Mart under a net
lease expiring in 1999. The lease was assigned by K-Mart to the City in
September 1995. In March 1996, the Trust ceased payments on the $1.7 million
non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the shopping center. In March 1997, the
Trust wrote off the property and related debt, as the mortgage is now secured by
the condemnation award. No loss was recognized in excess of amounts previously
provided.
In October 1995, the Trust and the borrower on an $8.6 million first mortgage
receivable, which matured in December 1995, negotiated a settlement of the
outstanding balance whereby the borrower agreed to relinquish the collateral
property, Jackson Square Shopping Center, a 342,000 square foot property in
Jackson, Mississippi, through a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Trust took
possession of the property in January 1996. As the estimated fair value of the
property exceeded the Trust's net carrying value of the mortgage loan, the Trust
recognized no loss in excess of amounts previously provided.
The Trust is in the final stages of reconstructing and expanding The Vistas at
Lake Worth in Fort Worth, Texas, to 265 apartment units at a cost of
approximately $14.3 million, $13 million of which had been expended as of
December 31, 1997. Operations began at the property in December 1997, and
redevelopment was completed in March 1998.
In September 1996, the Trust sold Century Centre II Office Building for $28.2
million in cash. After closing costs, prorations, and the payoff of the $21
million mortgage secured by the property, the Trust received net cash proceeds
of $6.2 million. In connection with this transaction, the Trust recognized a
gain of $3.7 million.
During 1995, the Trust sold portions of Lake Highlands land in Dallas, Texas,
for $885,000 in cash. Net cash proceeds were $790,000 after closing costs. The
Trust recorded gains of $533,000 from the sales.
In July 1995, the Trust purchased a tract of land adjacent to its K-Mart
Shopping Center in Kansas City, Missouri, for $125,000 and simultaneously sold
the K-Mart Shopping Center and the tract of land, keeping a portion of the
undeveloped land, for $1.8 million, including a $414,000 lease termination
payment from K-Mart. After the first lien payoff of $1.1 million and other
related closing costs, net cash proceeds to the Trust were $856,000. In June
1995, the Trust recorded a provision for loss of $275,000 to account for the
excess carrying value of the property over the related sale price.

NOTE 3. REAL ESTATE AND DEPRECIATION (Continued)
The Trust purchased Pepperkorn Office Building located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin,
("Pepperkorn") in July 1991 for $1.1 million, paying $130,000 in cash and
financing the remainder through a $1 million promissory note. Concurrently with
the acquisition, the former owner and primary tenant (the "Seller") signed a
lease at another one of the Trust's properties, Lakeview Mall, also located in
Manitowoc, Wisconsin. In 1993, the State of Wisconsin commenced eminent domain
proceedings to acquire Pepperkorn, and the Trust recorded a provision for loss
of $700,000, equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the property
exceeded the proposed condemnation award. In May 1995, the court ordered the $1
million promissory note executed by the Trust rescinded and found certain
provisions of the Seller's lease at Lakeview Mall were unenforceable.
Accordingly, the note balance was offset against the carrying value of the
property, the net rent receivable, and the condemnation award. As a result, the
Trust reversed the $700,000 allowance during the second quarter of 1995 with a
corresponding credit to earnings. The Trust collected the $232,000 condemnation
award in 1997.
Results of operations for real estate held for sale for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, were $192,000, $323,000, and $114,000, respectively.
Operations for these properties include rental revenue, property operating
expenses, interest expense, and, prior to January 1, 1996, depreciation expense.

In January 1997, in exchange for a capital contribution of $214,000, which was
matched by the other partners, the Trust received a 1% general partner interest
and a 49% limited partner interest in Windsor, a limited partnership formed to
construct a 324-unit luxury apartment complex to be known as The Mayfaire at
Windsor Parke in Jacksonville, Florida, at an estimated cost of $16 million.
Initial operations began at the property in August 1997, and the property was
completed in the first quarter of 1998. The partnership obtained a $16 million
construction loan to finance the construction. The Trust has also loaned the
partnership $2.5 million which is to be repaid following completion and lease-up
of the property. Until lease-up of the property, the construction loan is
guaranteed by the other general partner. As the Trust holds a non-controlling
interest, it accounts for its investment in the partnership using the equity
method.

The bulk of the proceeds for the Trust's loan to the partnership were obtained
from a $2.2 million loan secured by 352,000 of the Trust's shares of beneficial
interest. The lender has no voting rights with and does not receive cash
distributions on these shares, which are unregistered. Therefore, these shares
are not included with outstanding shares in the accompanying December 31, 1997,
Consolidated Balance Sheet and the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders'
Equity for the year ended December 31, 1997. The loan matures in January 2000;
however, the Trust intends to repay the loan prior to December 1998 with
proceeds received from the partnership's construction loan.
In June 1997, in exchange for a capital contribution of $200,000, the Trust
received a 1% general partner interest and a 49% limited partner interest in
Panama. This partnership was formed to construct a 200-unit luxury apartment
complex to be known as Harbour Green Apartments in Panama City, Florida, at an
estimated cost of $10.5 million. The first units became available for rent in
January 1998. The property is expected to be completed in the second quarter of
1998. The partnership has obtained an $8.8 million construction loan to finance
construction. The Trust has also loaned the partnership $1.5 million which is to
be repaid from construction loan proceeds following completion and lease-up of
the property. Until lease-up of the property, the construction loan is
guaranteed by the other general partner. The Trust also accounts for its
investment in this partnership using the equity method.
In September 1997, the Trust received a 1% general partner and a 59% limited
partner interest in Danforth in exchange for a $6,000 capital contribution. This
partnership was formed to construct a 288-unit luxury apartment complex to be
known as The Club at Danforth Apartments in Jacksonville, Florida, at an
estimated cost of $17.1 million. The property is expected to be completed in the
third quarter of 1998. The Partnership has obtained a $13.7 million construction
loan to finance construction. The Trust has also loaned the partnership $2.9
million which is to be repaid following completion and lease-up of the property.
In connection with the acquisition of the land on which the property is being
constructed, Danforth paid an acquisition fee of $30,000 to Tarragon. In
February 1998, the Trust acquired an additional 20% limited partner interest in
this partnership. Because both general partners actively participate in the
decision-making of the partnership activities, the Trust accounts for its
investment in this partnership using the equity method.
In December 1997, in exchange for a $200,000 capital contribution, the Trust
received a 1% general partner interest and a 49% limited partner interest in
Savannah. This partnership was formed to construct a 250-unit luxury apartment
complex to be known as The Links at Georgetown located in Savannah, Georgia,
at an estimated cost of $14.5 million. The property is expected to be completed
in the second quarter 1999. The partnership has obtained a $12 million
construction loan to finance construction. The Trust also loaned the partnership
$1.2 million which is to be repaid following completion and lease-up of the
property. Until lease-up of the property, the construction loan is guaranteed by
the other general partner. As the Trust holds a non-controlling interest in the
partnership, it accounts for its investment in the partnership using the equity
method.

NOTE 4. INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS (Continued)
In December 1997, in exchange for a capital contribution of $970,000, the Trust
acquired a 70% general partner interest in Ansonia, which purchased Autumn Ridge
Apartments, a 116-unit property in East Haven, Connecticut, for $2 million and
Meriden East Apartments, a 66-unit property in Meriden, Connecticut, for $1.8
million. Both properties were purchased in December 1997, and $2.9 million of
the aggregate acquisition cost was financed through mortgages on each property.
In connection with the acquisition of these properties, Ansonia paid Tarragon
acquisition fees totaling $38,000. Because both partners participate in the
decision-making of partnership activities, the Trust is a noncontrolling
partner and accounts for its investment in Ansonia using the equity method.
Advances to partnerships included in the accompanying December 31, 1997,
Consolidated Balance Sheet include $721,000 the Trust advanced in December 1997
to Omni in exchange for a 46% interest in this partnership. Subsequent to year
end, the Trust advanced an additional $4.6 million to this partnership, which
purchased 5600 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, Florida. See NOTE 16. "SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS." As the Trust holds a noncontrolling interest in Omni, its investment
in this partnership is accounted for using the equity method.
The Trust and Continental Mortgage and Equity Trust ("CMET") own SAC 9, a
tenancy-in-common which currently owns two office buildings in the vicinity of
Sacramento, California. The Trust has a 70% undivided interest in SAC 9. Under
the terms of the joint tenancy, unanimous consent is required of both the Trust
and CMET for any material changes in the operations of the properties, including
sales, refinancings, and changes in property management. The Trust, as a
noncontrolling partner, accounts for its investment in SAC 9 using the equity
method.
In August 1995, SAC 9 obtained first mortgage financing in the amount of $3.5
million secured by a previously unencumbered office building. Net financing
proceeds of $3.4 million were distributed, of which the Trust's proportionate
share was $2.4 million. In connection with the financing, SAC 9 paid a mortgage
brokerage fee of $35,000 to Tarragon. Distribution of the financing proceeds to
the Trust resulted in cumulative distributions exceeding the Trust's investment
in SAC 9. Accordingly, during 1996, the Trust recorded income of $129,000
representing the excess of cumulative distributions over the Trust's investment
in SAC 9.
The Trust and CMET were partners in ISA, a general partnership in which the
Trust had a 40% interest in earnings, losses, and distributions. ISA in turn
owned a 100% interest in Indcon, L.P. ("Indcon"), which owned four industrial
warehouses at December 31, 1997. The Trust, as a noncontrolling partner,
accounted for its investment in ISA using the equity method. In August 1997,
Indcon sold a warehouse for $60,000 receiving net cash proceeds of $54,000 of
which the Trust's proportionate share was $22,000. In connection with the sale,
Indcon recorded a loss on the sale totaling $134,000, and the Trust recorded a
$54,000 loss representing its proportionate share of the loss on sale. In
November 1997, the Trust sold its interest in the partnership to CMET for $1.6
million cash. In connection with this transaction, the Trust recognized a gain
on the sale of $215,000.
During the first half of 1996, Indcon sold 27 warehouses for $41.2 million,
receiving net cash proceeds of $16.8 million after the payoff of the existing
$23.5 million mortgage loan and closing costs. The Trust's share of the sales
proceeds was $6.7 million plus $130,000 representing an allowance for brokerage
commissions which the Trust retained and which offset the Trust's share of
Indcon's loss on the sale, resulting in a net gain on the sale of $22,000.
In September 1995, one of Indcon's warehouses was destroyed in a fire. An
insurance settlement totaling $2.2 million was reached by the partnership in
March 1996 resulting in a $1.1 million gain, of which the Trust's proportionate
share was $451,000. The Trust received cash proceeds of $760,000 representing
its proportionate share of the insurance settlement proceeds. Indcon does not
anticipate rebuilding the property.

In July 1997, the Trust acquired an additional 40% interest in English Village
Partners, L.P., ("English Village") increasing its total interest to 90%, in
exchange for a capital contribution of $1 million. As the Trust now holds a
controlling interest, the operations of English Village Apartments, the
partnership's sole property, have been consolidated since July 1997. See NOTE 3.
"REAL ESTATE AND DEPRECIATION."
Prior to July 1997, the Trust held a 49% limited partner interest and a 1%
general partner interest in English Village and, as a noncontrolling partner,
accounted for its investment using the equity method. In November 1995, English
Village refinanced the mortgage debt secured by English Village Apartments,
increasing the first mortgage loan balance to $6.2 million. Net refinancing
proceeds were $1.3 million, of which the Trust's portion was $619,000.
Distribution of the refinancing proceeds resulted in cumulative distributions
exceeding the Trust's investment in English Village. Also, during 1996,
distributions to the Trust from the operations of English Village Apartments
exceeded the Trust's share of the partnership's net income. Accordingly, during
1996, the Trust recorded income of $771,000 representing the excess of
cumulative distributions over the Trust's investment in English Village.
In June 1995, the Trust acquired a 50% economic interest in an office building
located at 801 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. (the "Property"). This
interest was acquired through the purchase of a first lien mortgage note with a
face value of $8.5 million (the "Note") for $500,000 in cash and a $2.5 million
promissory note, which bore interest at the Prime Rate plus 1% per annum and was
repaid at a $67,000 discount in September 1995. In accordance with the terms of
the Note, the Trust's $3 million investment, as well as any additional advances
made to the Property, is to be repaid from Property cash flow after operating
expenses with interest at the rate of 11% per annum. The $5.5 million remaining
balance of the Note plus accrued interest may be satisfied by payment of 50% of
all funds available after Property operating expenses plus 50% of the proceeds
from any sale and any refinancing. The Note is nonrecourse to all parties and is
secured only by the Property.
Set forth below are summarized financial data for all partnerships the Trust
accounts for using the equity method (unaudited):

NOTE 5. INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES
In accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities," investments in marketable equity securities are carried at
fair value. These investments are included in "Other assets" in the accompanying
December 31, 1997, Consolidated Balance Sheet. Unrealized gains are included as
a separate component of shareholders' equity. During 1997, unrealized gains
increased $831,000, and investments with a cost basis of $1.9 million
(determined by the average cost method) were sold for $2.6 million, resulting in
realized gains of $698,000.
At December 31, 1994, the Trust owned 39,500 shares of beneficial interest of
CMET, purchased through open market transactions, at a total cost to the Trust
of $181,000. During the first quarter of 1995, the Trust sold the shares for
$593,000 and recognized a $412,000 gain on the sale.

During 1997, 1996, and 1995, the Trust obtained permanent mortgage financing on
sixteen Trust properties, including Martins Landing and Forest Oaks as discussed
below, totaling $78.7 million, receiving net cash proceeds of $19.7 million
after the payoff of $51.6 million in existing debt. The remainder of the
financing proceeds was used to fund escrows for replacements and repairs and to
pay the associated closing costs. In connection with these financings, the Trust
paid commissions of $611,000 to Tarragon.

In September 1995, the Trust negotiated a $2.7 million payoff of the $3.2
million mortgage loan secured by Forest Oaks Apartments in Lexington, Kentucky.
In exchange for the discounted payoff of the Forest Oaks mortgage loan, the
Trust agreed to pay the full balance of the $4.5 million mortgage loan,
originally scheduled to mature February 2023, secured by Martins Landing
Apartments located in Lakeland, Florida. In December 1995, the Trust obtained
interim financing in the amount of $2 million secured by Forest Oaks. For
services provided in connection with obtaining the interim financing, the Trust
paid Tarragon a mortgage brokerage fee of $20,000. The combined $6.7 million
proceeds of the interim financing and the new $5 million first mortgage loan
secured by Martins Landing, which was also obtained in December 1995, along with
general working capital of the Trust, were used to satisfy the mortgage payoffs,
and, in December 1995, the Trust recognized an extraordinary gain of $560,000
due to the forgiveness of debt. In May 1996, the Trust obtained permanent
mortgage financing secured by Forest Oaks in the amount of $3.1 million.
Also in September 1995, the Trust entered into a Loan Sale Agreement (the
"Agreement") with the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD")
for the discounted purchase of two mortgage loans for $3.9 million, secured
separately by Bryan Hill Apartments located in Bethany, Oklahoma, acquired in
November 1994, and Meadowbrook Apartments, a 200-unit complex in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana. The Trust paid $3.5 million of the purchase price with funds obtained
in November 1995 through interim financing secured by first mortgages against
both properties. The balance was paid through the application of existing escrow
accounts and general working capital of the Trust. In November 1995,
simultaneously with the final payment to HUD, the Trust recognized an
extraordinary gain of $110,000 in connection with the purchase of the $2.2
million Bryan Hill mortgage. Through the discounted purchase of the mortgage
loan secured by Meadowbrook, effective October 1, 1995, the Trust acquired
control of the property and recorded the acquisition as of the same date. The
Trust paid a mortgage brokerage fee of $35,000 to Tarragon for obtaining the
interim financing.

NOTE 6. NOTES AND INTEREST PAYABLE (Continued)
In August 1996, the Trust obtained a $9 million line of credit secured by
mortgages on four of its multifamily properties, Diamond Loch, Meadowbrook,
Mustang Creek, and The Regent. All of these properties except The Regent
previously collateralized other mortgage loans. The prior loans totaling $3.9
million secured by Diamond Loch and Mustang Creek were paid off at closing.
Additionally, a principal payment of $500,000 was made at closing on the $3.5
million interim mortgage loan obtained in 1995 secured by both Meadowbrook and
Bryan Hill in exchange for the release of Meadowbrook. During 1996, $8.8 million
was advanced under the line of credit, and, after prior loan payoffs and closing
costs, the Trust received net cash proceeds of $4.2 million. The Trust paid
Tarragon financing fees totaling $88,000 for services rendered in connection
with this transaction. In 1997, the remaining $200,000 was advanced under the
line of credit, and the Trust paid Tarragon a $2,000 financing fee. In September
1997, Meadowbrook was released as collateral on the line of credit, and a $2.5
million advance secured by this property was obtained under the revolving credit
facility with GMAC Commercial Mortgage. See discussion below.
Pursuant to a Master Repurchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with an investment
bank entered into in April 1996, the Trust purchased the $3.1 million Fannie Mae
mortgage backed security ("Fannie Mae MBS") issued by the lender in connection
with the financing of Forest Oaks at a 1/2% discount in June 1996 and the $16.8
million Government National Mortgage Association mortgage backed security ("GNMA
MBS") issued by the lender in connection with the financing of Heather Hills at
a 2.7% discount in July 1996. The investment bank purchased the Fannie Mae MBS
and the GNMA MBS from the Trust for 92% of the aggregate value, or $17.9
million, and the Trust agreed to repurchase the MBSs from the investment bank
one month later at the same price plus interest at the London Interbank Offered
Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1/2% per annum. As provided for in the Agreement, the Trust
and the investment bank extended the repurchase date monthly. In January 1997,
the Trust entered into a similar repurchase transaction with a government
sponsored enterprise which purchased the MBSs for 97% of their aggregate value,
or $19.3 million, and the Trust agreed to repurchase them in February 1997 for
the same price plus interest at 5.4% per annum. The Trust and the government
sponsored enterprise have since extended the repurchase date monthly. In
November 1997, the Trust purchased the $2.7 million Fannie Mae MBS issued by the
lender in connection with the financing of Cross Creek Apartments ("Cross
Creek") at a 3% discount. The government sponsored enterprise purchased the
Cross Creek Fannie Mae MBS along with the other MBSs in November 1997 pursuant
to the same reverse repurchase transaction. The repurchase date has been
extended to March 1998, and the current repurchase price is $22.4 million. The
repurchase transaction has resulted in effective interest rates as of December
31, 1997, on the Forest Oaks, Heather Hills, and Cross Creek financings of
6.85%, 6.11%, and 6.87% respectively.
The Trust is exposed to a demand for additional collateral or, in the
alternative, credit loss in the event the interest rate associated with the
repurchase transaction fluctuates in a manner that is unfavorable to the Trust's
interest in the MBSs. However, the Trust intends to either pay off the mortgages
or modify the mortgages to increase the interest rate prior to any significant
credit loss.
In May 1997, the Trust accepted a commitment from GMAC Commercial Mortgage
Corporation for a $50 million revolving credit facility. Advances under the
facility are available to finance properties currently owned by the Trust as
well as new acquisitions. The outstanding balance is limited to the lesser of
75% of the value of the collateral properties or an amount supported by a debt
service coverage ratio of 1.25. The borrowing base
51
<PAGE> 52

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 6. NOTES AND INTEREST PAYABLE (Continued)
may be increased by adding new or existing properties to the collateral pool.
Advances are limited to the lesser of 75% of the appraised value of the property
as stabilized or 80% of total acquisition costs which include the purchase price
of a newly acquired property and the cost of improvements incurred between the
date of acquisition and the date that any mortgage secured by that property is
recorded. A newly acquired property is defined as a property owned by the Trust
for less than one year. The outstanding balance under the facility bears
interest at the 30 day LIBOR plus a variable spread of between 2% and 2.5% which
is determined based on the loan-to-value and debt service coverage maintained.
Payment terms include interest only monthly with the outstanding balance due at
maturity, which is 36 months from the date of the first advance. The Trust may
extend the maturity by two six-month terms, but no new fundings may occur under
the facility during any extension period. In 1997, the Trust obtained fundings
under this revolving credit facility totaling $42 million secured by first
mortgages against eight Trust properties. The Trust received net cash proceeds
of $26.3 million from these fundings after the payoff of existing mortgages of
$13.5 million, establishing escrows for taxes, insurance, and repairs, and
paying the associated closing costs. In connection with these fundings, the
Trust paid Tarragon financing fees totaling $420,000.
In December 1993, the Trust issued a $1 million convertible subordinated
debenture to Mr. John A. Doyle, Chief Financial Officer of the Trust until
September 1996, in exchange for his participation interest in the profits of the
Consolidated Capital Properties II ("CCP II") assets, which the Trust acquired
in November 1992. Mr. Doyle was granted this participation as consideration for
his services in connection with the CCP II acquisition. In February 1996, Mr.
Doyle converted the debenture into 93,076 Shares. In September 1996, the Trust
repurchased 50,000 of these Shares from Mr. Doyle for $700,000.
NOTE 7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The Trust paid cash distributions in 1995, 1996, and 1997 of $2.6 million, $2.8
million, and $2.9 million, respectively. The Trust reported to the Internal
Revenue Service that the 1997 distributions were taxable to shareholders as
ordinary income and the 1996 and 1995 distributions represented return of
capital.
Additionally, in September 1995, 1996, and 1997, the Trust paid 10% share
distributions which resulted in the Trust issuing 297,960 Shares, 325,115
Shares, and 337,147 Shares, respectively.

NOTE 9. SHARE OPTIONS
In November 1995, the Trust's shareholders approved two share option plans: the
Independent Trustee Share Option (the "Trustee Plan") and the Share Option and
Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). Options granted pursuant to the Trustee
Plan are immediately exercisable and expire on the earlier of the first
anniversary of the date on which a Trustee ceases to be a Trustee of the Trust
or ten years from the date of grant. For each year of service, an Independent
Trustee will be awarded an option to purchase 1,000 shares on January 1 of such
year. The Trustee Plan provides for options for 72,600 shares.
Under the Incentive Plan, options have been granted to certain Trust officers
and key employees of Tarragon and Tarragon Management, Inc.("TMI"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Tarragon. The Incentive Plan provides for options
for 363,000 shares. All grants are determined by the Option Committee, which
is presently comprised of two Trustees, Mr. William S. Friedman (President,
Chief Executive Officer, and Trustee of the Trust) and Mr. Carl B. Weisbrod
(Chairman of the Board). Options granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan are
exercisable beginning one year after the date of grant and expire five years
from the date of grant.

Subsequent to year end, in January 1998, the Trust granted options covering
7,000 shares, all of which were immediately exercisable, pursuant to the Trustee
Plan. Also, an additional 19,470 of the December 31, 1997, outstanding options
became exercisable in January 1998.
The Trust applies APB No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its
plans. All share options issued to date by the Trust have exercise prices equal
to the market price of the shares at the dates of grant. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized for its share option plans. Had
compensation cost for the Trust's two share option plans been determined based
on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent
with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Trust's net income and earnings per share
would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

NOTE 10. ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Although the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") is directly responsible for
managing the affairs of the Trust and setting the policies which guide it, the
day-to-day operations of the Trust are performed by an advisory firm which
operates under the supervision of the Board pursuant to a written advisory
agreement approved by shareholders. The duties of the advisor include, among
other things, locating, investigating, evaluating, and recommending real estate
investment and sale opportunities and financing and refinancing sources for the
Trust. The advisor also serves as a consultant in connection with the business
plan and investment policy decisions made by the Board. Since April 1, 1994,
Tarragon has provided advisory services to the Trust under an advisory agreement
approved by the Board and ratified by the shareholders on November 20, 1995. Mr.
Friedman, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Trustee of the Trust, serves
as a Director and Chief Executive Officer of Tarragon. Tarragon is owned by Mr.
Friedman and Lucy N. Friedman, his wife. The Friedman family owns approximately
33% of the outstanding shares of the Trust.
Under the Trust's initial advisory agreement, the Trust paid Tarragon an annual
base advisory fee of $100,000 plus an incentive advisory fee equal to 16% of the
Trust's adjusted funds from operations before deduction of the advisory fee.
Adjusted funds from operations is defined as funds from operations ("FFO"), as
defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, plus any
loss due to the write-down or sale of any real property or mortgage loan
acquired prior to January 1, 1989. FFO represents net income (loss), computed in
accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and
sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Additionally, Tarragon could receive commissions of 1% based upon (i)
acquisition cost of real estate, (ii) mortgage loans acquired, and (iii)
mortgage loans obtained or refinanced and a 10% incentive sales commission based
on gains from the sale of real estate.

NOTE 10. ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Continued)
At the March 1995 Board meeting, a majority of the Trustees approved a revised
advisory agreement, effective April 1, 1995, which was approved by the
shareholders at the November 20, 1995, shareholder meeting. In addition to
technical changes designed to clarify the responsibilities and rights of
Tarragon, the new agreement eliminated the $100,000 annual base fee, the
incentive sales compensation, and mortgage loan acquisition commissions.
Moreover, it provides that real estate brokerage commissions shall be payable to
Tarragon and its affiliates only following specific Board approval for each
transaction rather than as a general practice. No such commissions have been
paid under the revised agreement. The renewal of the advisory agreement between
the Trust and Tarragon was approved by shareholders on March 20, 1997.
Employees of Tarragon render services to the Trust, as the Trust has no
employees. In accordance with the terms of the advisory agreements, certain
services provided by the advisor, including, but not limited to, accounting,
legal, investor relations, data processing, and the related departmental
overhead, are reimbursed directly by the Trust.
Under the advisory agreement (as required by the Trust's Declaration of Trust),
all or a portion of the advisory fee must be refunded by the advisor to the
Trust if Operating Expenses, as defined, exceed certain specified limitations
based on the book value, net asset value, and net income of the Trust during
such fiscal year. The operating expenses of the Trust did not exceed such
limitation in 1995, 1996, or 1997.
For additional information regarding compensation paid to the advisor, see NOTE
12. "RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS" and ITEM 10. "TRUSTEES, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND
ADVISOR OF THE REGISTRANT - The Advisor."
NOTE 11. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Since April 1, 1994, Tarragon has provided property management services to the
Trust for a fee of 4.5% of the monthly gross rents collected on multifamily
properties and 1.5% to 5% of the monthly gross rents collected on commercial
properties. Tarragon subcontracts with other entities for the provision of some
of the property-level management services for the Trust. Beginning April 1,
1996, TMI assumed the property-level management of a majority of the Trust's
properties for a fee of 4.5% of the monthly gross rents collected.

Other liabilities at December 31, 1995, included non-interest bearing cash
advances of $283,000 and $300,000 from Tarragon and Lucy N. Friedman (50%
stockholder of Tarragon and a principal shareholder of the Trust), respectively.
Such advances were made to the Trust on a short term basis to facilitate the
negotiated discounted payoffs of the mortgage loans secured by Bryan Hill,
Meadowbrook, and Forest Oaks. In connection with the discounted payoffs, the
Trust realized extraordinary gains on debt forgiveness totaling $670,000. The
Trust repaid the advances during 1996.
NOTE 13. INCOME TAXES
For 1997, 1996, and 1995, the Trust has elected and qualified to be treated as a
Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"), as defined in Sections 856 through 860 of
the Code, and, as such, will not be taxed for federal income tax purposes on
that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to shareholders,
provided that at least 95% of its REIT taxable income, plus 95% of its taxable
income from foreclosure property as defined in Section 857 of the Code, is
distributed. See NOTE 7. "DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS." As a result of the
Trust's election to be treated as a REIT for income tax purposes and of its
intention to distribute its taxable income, no deferred tax asset or liability
or related valuation allowance was recorded.
No provision has been made for federal income taxes because the Trust believes
it has qualified as a REIT and expects that it will continue to do so.
The Trust's basis in its net assets for tax purposes differs from that for
financial statement purposes, principally due to the accounting for gains and
losses on property sales, the difference in the allowance for estimated losses,
depreciation on owned properties, and investments in partnerships. At December
31, 1997 and 1996, the Trust's tax basis in its net real estate exceeded
its basis for financial statement purposes by $22.8 million and $19.6 million,
respectively. As a result, aggregate future income for income tax purposes will
be less than such amount for financial statement purposes, and the Trust will be
able to maintain its REIT status without distributing 95% of its financial
statement income. Additionally, at December 31, 1997, the Trust had a tax net
operating loss carryforward of $43 million expiring through 2011.

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Olive Litigation. In February 1990, the Trust, together with CMET, Income
Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc., ("IORI"), and Transcontinental Realty
Investors, Inc. ("TCI"), three real estate entities with, at the time, the same
officers, directors or trustees, and advisor as the Trust, entered into a
settlement of a class and derivative action entitled Olive, et. al. v. National
Income Realty Trust, et. al., relating to the operation and management of each
of the entities. On April 23, 1990, the court granted final approval of the
terms of the original settlement.
On May 4, 1994, the parties entered into a Modification of Stipulation of
Settlement dated April 27, 1994 (the "Modification"), which settled subsequent
claims of breaches of the settlement which were asserted by the plaintiffs and
modified certain provisions of the April 1990 settlement. The Modification was
preliminarily approved by the court on July 1, 1994, and final court approval
was entered on December 12, 1994. The effective date of the Modification was
January 11, 1995.
The Modification provided for, among other things, the addition of at least
three new unaffiliated members to the Trust's Board of Trustees and set forth
new requirements for the approval of any transactions with affiliates over the
next five years. In accordance with the procedures set forth in the
Modification, Irving E. Cohen, Lance Liebman, Sally Hernandez-Pinero, and L. G.
Schafran were appointed to the Board. In addition, Basic Capital Management, the
Trust's previous advisor, Mr. Gene E. Phillips, and Mr. Friedman agreed to pay a
total of $1.2 million to the Trust, CMET, IORI, and TCI, of which the Trust's
share was $150,000. As of December 31, 1996, the Trust had collected the entire
$150,000. Under the Modification, the Trust, CMET, IORI, TCI, and their
shareholders released the defendants from any claims relating to the plaintiffs'
allegations. The Trust, CMET, IORI, and TCI also agreed to waive any demand
requirement for the plaintiffs to pursue claims on behalf of each of them
against certain persons or entities. The Modification also requires that any
shares of the Trust held by Messrs. Phillips and Friedman or their affiliates
shall be (i) voted in favor of the reelection of all current Board members that
stand for reelection during the two calendar years following the effective date
of the Modification and (ii) voted in favor of all new Board members appointed
pursuant to the terms of the Modification that stand for reelection during the
three calendar years following the effective date of the Modification.

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)
The Modification also terminated a number of the provisions of the Stipulation
of Settlement, including the requirement that the Trust, CMET, IORI, and TCI
maintain a Related Party Transaction Committee and a Litigation Committee of
their respective Boards. The court will retain jurisdiction to enforce the
Modification.
Other litigation. The Trust is also party to various claims and routine
litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management of the Trust
does not believe that the results of such claims and litigation, individually or
in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial
position, or results of operations.
NOTE 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In December 1997, the Trust advanced $721,000 to National Omni Associates, L.P.,
("Omni") in exchange for a 46% interest in the partnership. In January and
February 1998, the Trust advanced the partnership an additional $4.6 million.
Omni purchased 5600 Collins Avenue, a 289-unit, high rise apartment building in
Miami Beach, Florida, for $32 million in February 1998. $26 million of the
purchase price was financed through first and second lien mortgage debt. In
connection with the acquisition, Omni paid Tarragon a $150,000 acquisition fee.
In January 1998, the Trust obtained a $1.2 million advance under the $50 million
revolving credit facility secured by Mariner Plaza Shopping Center, which the
Trust acquired in August 1997. In connection with this funding, the Trust paid
Tarragon a fee of $12,000.
In January and February 1998, the Trust obtained $13.8 million in mortgage
financing secured separately by three properties. After the payoff of the
existing debt, establishing required escrows, and closing costs, the Trust
received net cash proceeds of $4 million. In connection with these
transactions, the Trust paid Tarragon fees totaling $137,620.
On February 19, 1998, the Trust and Tarragon Realty Investors, Inc., ("TRI")
jointly announced the agreement of their respective boards to form a single
consolidated entity with TRI, for convenience, as the survivor. The surviving
consolidated entity is intended to operate as a self-administered REIT. The
consolidation transaction will be submitted to shareholders of each of the Trust
and TRI for approval at special meetings to be held during 1998. Under the
proposed agreement, each shareholder of the Trust will receive 1.97 shares of
TRI common stock for each share of beneficial interest of the Trust held. TRI,
also a REIT, has a similar opportunistic approach to real estate investment and
had total consolidated assets of approximately $37 million as of December 31,
1997. Upon the approval and consummation of the consolidation transaction by the
respective shareholders of each entity, TRI will acquire Tarragon, the Trust's
advisor since April 1, 1994, and TRI's advisor since March 1, 1994, for 100,000
shares of common stock of TRI and options to acquire additional shares of common
stock of TRI at prices ranging between $13 and $16 per share. The resulting
consolidated enterprise with TRI as the survivor will emerge from these
transactions as an integrated, self-administered, self-managed REIT controlling
approximately 14,000 apartment units and 2.1 million square feet of retail and
office space, primarily in California, Florida, and Texas. The consolidation
transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition of TRI by the Trust.

PART III
ITEM 10. TRUSTEES, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND ADVISOR OF THE REGISTRANT
Trustees
The affairs of National Income Realty Trust (the "Trust") are managed and
controlled by a Board of Trustees (the "Board"), presently consisting of eight
members. The Trustees are elected at the annual meeting of shareholders or
appointed by the incumbent Board and serve until the next annual meeting of
shareholders or until a successor has been elected or approved.
In May 1994, the Trust, together with Continental Mortgage and Equity Trust
("CMET"), Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IORI"), and
Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. ("TCI"), entered into a Modification of
Stipulation of Settlement dated April 27, 1994 (the "Modification"), which
settled subsequent claims of breaches of the settlement which were asserted by
plaintiffs and modified certain provisions of a 1990 settlement of the action
styled Olive, et. al. v. National Income Realty Trust, et. al. (the "Olive
Case"). The original settlement, approved April 23, 1990, by the Court, related
to the operation and management of each of the entities. The Modification was
approved by the Court on December 12, 1994, and became effective January 11,
1995.
The Modification provided for, among other things, the resignation of certain
trustees, the addition of at least three new, unaffiliated members to be
appointed to the Board, and set forth new requirements for approval of any
transactions with affiliates over the next five years. Under the Modification,
the Trust, the other entities, and their shareholders released the defendants
from any claims relating to the plaintiffs' allegations. The Trust and other
entities also agreed to waive any demand requirement for plaintiffs to pursue
claims on behalf of each of them against certain persons or entities. The
Modification also requires that any shares of the Trust held by William S.
Friedman or his affiliates shall be voted (i) in favor of the re-election of all
current Board members that stand for re-election during the two calendar years
following January 11, 1995, and (ii) in favor of all new Board members appointed
pursuant to the terms of the Modification that stand for re-election during the
three calendar years following January 11, 1995. The Modification also
terminated a number of provisions of the original Stipulation of Settlement,
including the requirement that the Trust or the other entities maintain a
Related Party Transaction Committee and a Litigation Committee of the Board.
Pursuant to the requirements (and in anticipation of the effectiveness) of the
Modification, the Trust did not hold an Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 1994,
John A. Doyle (a Trustee since February 1994) resigned as a Trustee on April 22,
1994, Ted P. Stokely (a Trustee since April 1990) resigned as a Trustee in
August 1994, A. Bob Jordan (a Trustee since October 1992) resigned as a Trustee
in June 1994, Bennett B. Sims (a Trustee since April 1990) resigned as a Trustee
in August 1994, Geoffrey C. Etnire ( a Trustee since January 1993) ceased to be
a Trustee on March 9, 1995, and Willie K. Davis (a Trustee since October 1988)
retired as a Trustee effective March 31, 1995. Carl B. Weisbrod (a Trustee since
February 1994) was elected Chairman of the Board on March 9, 1995, to replace
Mr. Friedman, who remains as President, Chief Executive Officer, and Trustee of
the
68

Trustees (Continued)
Trust. Between May 1994 and March 1995, the Board appointed four new,
independent Trustees to replace a number of those who resigned, and the number
of members of the Board was reduced from ten at December 31, 1993, to eight at
March 31, 1995. Independent Trustees appointed are Irving E. Cohen (June 2,
1994), Sally Hernandez-Pinero (May 19, 1994), Lance Liebman (March 9, 1995), and
L. G. Schafran (March 9, 1995). Dan L. Johnston, Raymond V. J. Schrag, and
Messrs. Friedman and Weisbrod have continued as Trustees. All of the Trustees
listed below were re-elected as members of the Board at the annual meeting of
shareholders held on March 20, 1997.

service, all positions and offices with the Trust and Tarragon Realty Advisors,
Inc. ("Tarragon" or the "Advisor"), the Trust's advisor since April 1, 1994,

companies during the last five years or more. The designation "Affiliated," when

"Independent," when used below with respect to a Trustee, means that the Trustee

LITIGATION AND CLAIMS INVOLVING MR. FRIEDMAN RELATED TO SOUTHMARK CORPORATION
Separation of Messrs. Phillips and Friedman from Southmark. Until January 1989,
Mr. Friedman was an executive officer and director of Southmark Corporation
("Southmark"), serving as Vice Chairman of the Board (since 1982), Director
(since 1980), and Secretary (since 1984) of Southmark. As a result of a deadlock
on Southmark's Board of Directors, Mr. Friedman and Gene E. Phillips (who served
as Trustee of the Trust until December 7, 1992) reached a series of related
agreements (later modified) with Southmark on January 17, 1989 (collectively,
the "Separation Agreement"), whereby Messrs. Friedman and Phillips resigned
their positions with Southmark and certain of Southmark's subsidiaries and
affiliates. Southmark filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy under Chapter 11
of the United States Bankruptcy Code on July 14, 1989. Subsequent to the filing
of the Southmark bankruptcy, several lawsuits were filed against Southmark, its
former officers and directors (including Mr. Friedman), and others, alleging,
among other things, that such persons and entities misrepresented the financial
condition of Southmark. Mr. Friedman denies all of such allegations. Those
lawsuits in which Mr. Friedman was also a defendant during the last five years
are summarized below. The Trust was not a defendant in any of these lawsuits,
all of which have been dismissed or settled.
Mr. Friedman also served as a director of Pacific Standard Life Insurance
Company ("PSL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southmark, from October 1984 to
January 1989. In a proceeding brought by the California Insurance commissioner
(the "Commissioner"), a California Superior Court appointed a conservator for
PSL on December 11, 1989. On October 12, 1990, the Commissioner filed suit
against the former directors of PSL (including Mr. Friedman) seeking damages of
$12 million and additional punitive damages. Such lawsuit alleged, among other
things, that the defendants knowingly and willfully conspired among themselves
to breach their duties as directors of PSL to benefit Southmark. Such suit
further alleged that PSL's board of directors failed to convene meetings and
delegated to Mr. Phillips authority to make decisions regarding loans,
investments, and other transfers and exchanges of PSL assets. In August 1993,
five former directors of PSL, including Mr. Friedman, settled this lawsuit
without admitting any liability. Mr. Friedman complied with his obligation under
the settlement and was discharged from any further liability in January 1998.

One of Southmark's principal businesses was real estate syndication, and, from
1981 through 1987, Southmark raised over $500 million in investments from
limited partners in several hundred limited partnerships. Seven lawsuits were
filed by investors alleging breach of fiduciary duties on the part of Mr.
Friedman and others. Two cases were settled in July and October 1993 for nominal
payments. In one case, all claims were dismissed by the Court, and the
defendants (including Mr. Friedman) were awarded sanctions against plaintiff's
counsel. The other four cases were voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs
without payment of any kind by the defendants.
San Jacinto Savings Association. On November 30, 1990, San Jacinto Savings
Association ("SJSA"), a savings institution that had been owned by Southmark
since 1983, was placed under conservatorship of the Resolution Trust Corporation
("RTC") by federal banking authorities. The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS")
also conducted a formal investigation of SJSA and its affiliates. During late
November 1994, Mr. Friedman entered into certain agreements with the RTC and OTS
settling all claims relating to (i) his involvement with SJSA and (ii) any
guarantor arrangement of Mr. Friedman as to other financial institutions taken
over by the RTC. Mr. Friedman's liability terminated on September 30, 1996, when
the respondents as a group had paid a total of $4 million out of the total
requirement. Mr. Friedman also consented to an order prohibiting him from
participating in an insured depository institution without the prior written
approval of the Director of OTS.
Board Committees
The Board held three meetings and acted by written consent seven times during
1997. For such year, no incumbent Trustee attended fewer than 75% of the
aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings held by the Board during the
period for which he (she) had been a Trustee and (ii) the total number of
meetings held by all committees of the Board on which he (she) served during the
periods that he (she) served.
The Board has an Audit Committee, an Advisory Review Committee, and an Option
Committee. The Audit Committee, consisting of three Independent trustees,
Messrs. Schrag (Chairman), Johnston, and Weisbrod, reviews the Trust's operating
and accounting procedures. This committee met once during 1997. The Advisory
Review Committee, established in March 1995, monitors actions taken by the
Advisor which have the potential for a conflict of interest, in particular
decisions relating to the allocation of investment opportunities among the Trust
and the other entities affiliated with the Advisor. The committee consists of
Mr. Weisbrod (Chairman), Ms. Hernandez-Pinero, and Mr. Cohen and did not meet
during 1997. The Option Committee was formed in 1995 for purposes of authorizing
option grants under the Share Option and Incentive Plan, approved at the
November 1995 shareholder meeting. This committee is presently comprised of two
members including Messrs. Friedman and Weisbrod and acted by written consent
twice during 1997.
The Board does not have Nominating or Compensation Committees.

officers, and any persons holding more than ten percent of the Trust's shares of
beneficial interest are required to report their ownership of the Trust's shares
and any changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"). Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and
the Trust is required to report any failure to file by these dates during fiscal
1997. All of these filing requirements were satisfied during 1997. In making
these statements, the Trust has relied on the written representations of its
incumbent Trustees and officers, its ten percent holders, and copies of the
reports that they have filed with the Commission.

ITEM 10. TRUSTEES, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND ADVISOR OF THE REGISTRANT
(Continued)
The Advisor
Although the Board is directly responsible for managing the affairs of the Trust
and for setting the policies which guide it, the day-to-day operations of the
Trust are performed by an advisory firm which operates under the supervision of
the Board pursuant to a written advisory agreement approved by shareholders. The
duties of the advisor include, among other things, locating, investigating,
evaluating, and recommending real estate investment and sale opportunities and
financing and refinancing sources for the Trust. The advisor also serves as a
consultant in connection with the business plan and investment policy decisions
made by the Board.
Tarragon has provided advisory services to the Trust since April 1, 1994. On
March 20, 1997, the shareholders approved the renewal of the advisory agreement
dated April 1, 1995, between Tarragon and the Trust. Mr. Friedman serves as a
Director and Chief Executive Officer of Tarragon. Tarragon is owned by Mr.
Friedman and Lucy N. Friedman, his wife. The Friedman family owns approximately
33% of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Trust.
The advisory agreement provides for an incentive advisory fee equal to 16% of
the Trust's adjusted funds from operations before deduction of the advisory fee.
Adjusted funds from operations is defined as funds from operations ("FFO"), as
defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, plus any
loss due to the write-down or sale of any real property or mortgage loan
acquired prior to January 1, 1989. FFO represents net income <loss>, computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, before gains (or
losses) from the sales of properties and debt restructurings plus depreciation
and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. The incentive fee is cumulative within any
fiscal year to maintain the 16% per annum rate. Between April 1994 and April
1995, the advisory agreement also provided for a $100,000 annual base advisory
fee.
In addition to the advisory fee, the advisory agreement provides for the
following compensation to Tarragon:
(a) Tarragon is to receive an acquisition commission of 1% of the
acquisition cost of real estate for supervising the acquisition,
purchase, or long-term lease of real estate for the Trust, except
that no fee will be paid for any acquisition through or from an
affiliate of the Trust or Tarragon. The aggregate of each purchase
price of each property including the acquisition commission and all
real estate brokerage fees may not exceed such property's appraised
value at acquisition.
(b) For obtaining loans to the Trust or refinancing on its properties,
Tarragon is to receive a mortgage brokerage and refinancing fee
equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of the amount of the loan or the
amount refinanced or (ii) a brokerage or refinancing fee which is
reasonable and fair under the circumstances; provided, however, that
no such fee shall be paid on loans from Tarragon or an affiliate
without the approval of the Board. No fee shall be paid on loan
extensions.
In addition, the advisory agreement provides that real estate brokerage
commissions shall be payable to Tarragon and its affiliates only following
specific approval by the Board for each transaction rather than as a general
practice.

ITEM 10. TRUSTEES, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND ADVISOR OF THE REGISTRANT
(Continued)
The Advisor (Continued)
If and to the extent that the Trust were to request the advisor or an affiliate
of the advisor to render services for the Trust other than those specifically
required by the advisory agreement, such services would be separately
compensated on terms to be agreed upon between such party and the Trust from
time to time. The advisor is required to formulate and submit annually for
approval by the Board a budget and business plan for the Trust containing a
twelve-month forecast of operations and cash flow, a general plan for asset
sales or acquisitions, borrowing activity, and other investments, and the
advisor is required to report quarterly to the Board on the Trust's performance
against the business plan. In addition, all transactions or investments by the
Trust shall require prior approval by the Board unless they are explicitly
provided for in the approved business plan or are made pursuant to authority
expressly delegated to the advisor by the Board.
The advisory agreement also requires prior approval of the Board for retention
of all consultants and third party professionals, other than legal counsel. The
agreement provides that the advisor shall be deemed to be in a fiduciary
relationship to the Trust's shareholders; contains guidelines for the advisor's
allocation of investment opportunities as among itself, the Trust, and other
entities it advises; and contains a broad standard governing the advisor's
liability for losses incurred by the Trust. Under the advisory agreement,
neither the advisor nor any of its stockholders, directors, officers, or
employees shall be liable to the Trust, the Trustees, or the holders of
securities of the Trust for any losses from the operations of the Trust if the
advisor had determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused
the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Trust, and the loss or
liability was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the advisor.
In no event will the directors, officers, or employees of the advisor be
personally liable for any action unless it was the result of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duty.
Employees of the advisor render services to the Trust, as the Trust has no
employees. In accordance with the terms of the advisory agreement, certain
services provided by the advisor including, but not limited to, accounting,
legal, investor relations, data processing, and the related departmental
overhead are reimbursed directly by the Trust.
Under the advisory agreement, all or a portion of the advisory fee must be
refunded by the advisor to the Trust if the Operating Expenses, as defined,
exceed certain limits based on book value, net asset value, and net income of
the Trust during such fiscal year. The operating expenses of the Trust did not
exceed such limitation in 1995, 1996, or 1997.
The advisory agreement may be assigned only with the prior consent of the Trust.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Trust has no employees and pays no compensation to its executive officer.
The Trustees and executive officers of the Trust who are also officers or
employees of Tarragon are compensated by Tarragon. Such affiliated Trustees and
executive officers perform a variety of services for the advisor, and the amount
of their compensation is determined solely by Tarragon.
The Independent Trustees are paid an annual stipend directly by the Trust and
granted certain share options, as discussed below. The Independent Trustees (i)
review the business plan of the Trust to determine that it is in the best
interest of the shareholders, (ii) review the Trust's agreement with the
advisor, (iii) supervise the performance of the advisor and review the
reasonableness of the compensation which the Trust pays to its advisor in terms
of the nature and quality of services performed, (iv) review the reasonableness
of the total fees and expenses of the Trust, and (v) select, when necessary, a
qualified independent real estate appraiser to appraise properties acquired by
the Trust. The Independent Trustees receive compensation in the amount of
$15,000 per year plus $25,000 per year to the Chairman of the Board and
reimbursement of expenses. In addition, each Independent Trustee receives (i)
$2,000 per year for each committee of the Board of Trustees on which he (she)
serves, (ii) $1,000 per year for each committee chairmanship, and (iii) $1,000
per day for any special services rendered to the Trust outside of the ordinary

Pursuant to the approval of the Independent Trustee Share Option Plan (the
"Trustee Plan") in November 1995, the Trust issued to each of the seven
Independent Trustees on November 20, 1995, options to acquire 3,000 shares (a
total of 21,000 shares). The exercise price of the options is equal to the
market price on the grant date. The options expire on the earlier of the first
anniversary of the date on which a Trustee ceases to be a Trustee of the Trust
or ten years from the date of grant (the "Termination Date") and are exercisable
at any time between the date of grant and the Termination Date. In addition, for
each year such Trustee continues to serve as a Trustee, he (she) will be awarded
an option covering 1,000 shares on January 1 of each year. Accordingly, on each
of January 1, 1996, 1997, and 1998, the Trust issued to each Independent Trustee
additional options covering 1,000 shares (a total of 21,000 shares) with
exercise prices equal to the market price on the dates of grant and the same
Termination Date as the options granted in November 1995. The options issued in
November 1995 and January 1996 and 1997 have been adjusted to give effect to the
10% share distributions paid in September 1996 and 1997 so that all Trustee
options now cover a total of 48,580 shares. The Trustee Plan provides for a
total of 72,600 shares.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Certain Business Relationships
Since April 1, 1994, Tarragon has served as the Trust's advisor pursuant to an
advisory agreement. Mr. Friedman serves as Director and Chief Executive Officer
of Tarragon. Tarragon is owned by Mr. Friedman and Lucy N. Friedman, his wife.
The Friedman family owns approximately 33% of the outstanding shares of the
Trust.
Since March 1, 1994, Tarragon has also served as TRI's advisor. William S.
Friedman also serves as a Director, President, and Chief Executive Officer of
TRI. TRI has the same relationship with Tarragon as the Trust. Mr. Friedman owes
fiduciary duties to TRI as well as the Trust under applicable law.
In February 1998, National Omni Associates, L.P., in which the Trust holds a 46%
interest, paid a brokerage commission of $100,000 to Highland Funding Corp., for
which Chester Beck, who serves as a Director for TRI, serves as President, for
consulting services provided in connection with the acquisition of 5600 Collins
Avenue.
From January 1993 to December 1997, FMS, Inc., a company of which Mr. Willie K.
Davis, former Trustee of the Trust and current Director of TRI, is Chairman,
President, and sole shareholder, provided property-level management services for
several properties owned by the Trust. In 1997 and 1996, FMS, Inc., earned fees
of $82,292 and $80,920, respectively, for performing such services. The Trust
believes that such fees were at least as favorable to the Trust as those that
would have been paid to unaffiliated third parties for the performance of
similar services.
Related Party Transactions
Historically, the Trust has engaged in and may continue to engage in business
transactions, including real estate partnerships, with related parties. Prior to
January 11, 1995, all related party transactions entered into by the Trust were
to be approved by a majority of the Trust's Board of Trustees, including a
majority of the Independent Trustees. In addition, the Related Party Transaction
Committee of the Board was to review all such transactions prior to their
submission to the Board for consideration. The Trust's management believes that
all of the related party transactions were at least as advantageous to the Trust
as could have been obtained from unrelated third parties.
The Trust is a partner with CMET in Sacramento Nine ("SAC 9"). SAC 9, which
currently owns two office buildings in the vicinity of Sacramento, California,
is owned 70% by the Trust which is a non-controlling partner. The SAC 9 joint
tenancy agreement requires unanimous consent of both the Trust and CMET for any
material changes in the operations of SAC 9's properties, including sales,
refinancings, and property management changes. Until March 9, 1995, Geoffrey C.
Etnire, a Trustee of CMET, was also a Trustee of the Trust. Since that time, the
Trust and CMET share no Trustees.
On December 10, 1990, the Board, based on the recommendation of its Related
Party Transaction Committee, authorized the purchase of up to $1 million of the
shares of beneficial interest of CMET through negotiated or open market
transactions. At December 31, 1994, the Trust owned 39,500 shares of beneficial
interest of CMET which it purchased in 1990 and 1991 through open market
transactions at a total cost to the Trust of $180,500. During the first quarter
of 1995, the Trust sold the shares for $592,500 and, as a result, recorded a
$412,000 gain on sale of investments.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS (Continued)
Related Party Transactions (Continued)
In December 1993, the Board approved the issuance of a $1 million convertible
subordinated debenture to Mr. Doyle, Chief Financial Officer of the Trust until
September 1996, in exchange for his 10% participation in the profits of the
Consolidated Capital Properties II ("CCP II") assets, which the Trust had
acquired in November 1992. This participation was granted as consideration for
Mr. Doyle's services to the Trust in connection with the CCP II portfolio. The
debenture bore interest at 6% per annum and was scheduled to mature in December
1999. In February 1996, Mr. Doyle converted the debenture into 93,076 Shares.
The Trust repurchased 50,000 of these shares from Mr. Doyle in September 1996
for $700,000.
Other liabilities at December 31, 1995, included non-interest bearing cash
advances of $300,000 and $283,000 from Lucy N. Friedman (50% stockholder of
Tarragon and a principal shareholder of the Trust) and Tarragon, respectively.
Such advances were made to the Trust on a short term basis to facilitate the
1995 negotiated discounted payoffs of the mortgage loans secured by Bryan Hill
Apartments, Meadowbrook Apartments, and Forest Oaks Apartments. In connection
with the discounted payoffs, the Trust realized extraordinary gains on debt
forgiveness totaling $670,000. The Trust repaid the advances in 1996. The
remaining $255,000 due to affiliates at December 31, 1995, represented accrued
mortgage brokerage commissions, advisory fees, and expense reimbursements to
Tarragon which were paid in January 1996.
The Trust has incurred fees and expense reimbursements paid to Tarragon and TMI
as follows (dollars in thousands):

The Trust's Declaration of Trust provides that:
"[t]he Trustees shall not . . . purchase, sell, or lease any Real Properties
or Mortgages to or from . . . the Advisor or any of [its] Affiliates," and
that "[t]he Trustees shall not . . . make any loan to . . . the Advisor or
any of [its] Affiliates."
Moreover, the Declaration of Trust further provides that:
"[t]he Trust shall not purchase or lease, directly or indirectly, any Real
Property or purchase any Mortgage from the Advisor or any affiliated Person,
or any partnership in which any of the foregoing may also be a general
partner, and the Trust will not sell or lease, directly or indirectly, any
of its Real Property or sell any Mortgage to any of the foregoing Persons."
The Declaration of Trust further provides that "the Trust shall not directly
or indirectly, engage in any transaction with any Trustee, officer, or
employee of the Trust or any director, officer, or employee of the Advisor .
. . or of any company or other organization of which any of the foregoing is
an Affiliate, except for . . . [among other things] transactions with . . .
the Advisor or Affiliates thereof involving loans, real estate brokerage
services, real property management services, the

servicing of Mortgages, the leasing of real or personal property, or other
services, provided such transactions are on terms not less favorable to the
Trust than the terms on which nonaffiliated parties are then making similar
loans or performing similar services for comparable entities in the same area
and are not entered into on an exclusive basis."
The Declaration of Trust defines "Affiliate" as follows:
"[A]s to any Person, any other Person who owns beneficially, directly, or
indirectly, 1% or more of the outstanding capital stock, shares, or equity
interests of such Person or of any other Person which controls, is controlled
by, or is under common control with, such Person or is an officer, retired
officer, director, employee, partner, or trustee (excluding independent
trustees not otherwise affiliated with the entity) of such Person or of any
other Person which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with, such Person."
As discussed in "Related Party Transactions" above, beginning September 1990,
the Trust had invested in shares of CMET. As of December 31, 1994, the Trust
owned 39,500 shares of CMET. CMET had the same advisor as the Trust and certain
of its Trustees were also Trustees of CMET at the time such shares were
acquired. Under the terms of its Declaration of Trust, as amended, the Trust was
prohibited from holding the shares of CMET beyond July 30, 1996. Prior to March
31, 1995, all remaining 39,500 CMET shares were sold in open market
transactions.
Prior to January 11, 1995, all related party transactions that the Trust
contemplated were to be reviewed by the Related Party Transaction Committee of
the Trust's Board of Trustees to determine whether such transactions were (i)
fair to the Trust and (ii) permitted by the Trust's governing documents. Each of
the members of the Related Party Transaction Committee was a Trustee who was not
an officer, director, or employee of the Trust's advisor, Tarragon, and was not
an officer or employee of the Trust. Such committee was disbanded in February
1995 and its responsibilities assumed by the Independent Trustees.
Pursuant to the terms of the Modification in the Olive case, which became
effective January 11, 1995, any related party transaction which the Trust may
enter into prior to April 27, 1999, with two categories of exceptions, will
require the unanimous approval of the Trust's Board of Trustees. In addition,
except for the categories noted below, certain defined related party
transactions may only be entered into in exceptional circumstances and after
determination by the Trust's Board of Trustees that the transaction is in the
best interests of the Trust and that no other opportunity exists that is as good
as the opportunity presented by such transaction. Two categories of exception
are:
(i) direct contractual agreements for services between the Trust and the
Advisor or one of its affiliates (i.e., the Advisory Agreement,
property management contracts, etc.) which require prior approval by
two-thirds of the Trustees of the Trust and, if required, approval
by a majority of the Shareholders;
(ii) joint ventures among the Trust and another party to the Modification
in the Olive case or any of their affiliates or subsidiaries and a
third party having no prior or intended future business or financial
relationship with specified persons, or any affiliate of such
persons, may be entered into on the affirmative vote of a majority
of the Trustees of the Trust.
