ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant"), a
Nevada corporation, was formed December 20, 1991 and on March 24, 1992 merged
with and succeeded Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, which was formed May 24, 1990 and which on August 18, 1990, merged
with and succeeded Transcontinental Realty Investors, a California business
trust, which was organized on September 6, 1983.  The Company has elected to be
treated as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") under Sections 856 through
860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The Company has, in the
opinion of the Company's management, qualified for federal taxation as a REIT
for each year subsequent to December 31, 1982.

The Company's real estate at December 31, 1995 consisted of 41 properties held
for investment, six partnership properties and six properties held for sale
which were primarily obtained through foreclosure.  One of the properties held
for investment was acquired during 1995.  The Company's mortgage notes
receivable portfolio at December 31, 1995 consisted of 31 mortgage loans.  In
addition, the Company has an interest in a partnership which holds two
wraparound mortgage loans.  The Company's real estate and mortgage notes
receivable portfolios are more fully discussed in ITEM 2.  "PROPERTIES."

Business Plan and Investment Policy

The Company's primary business and only industry segment is investing in equity
interests in real estate through direct acquisitions,  partnerships and
financing real estate and real estate related activities through investments in
mortgage loans, including first, wraparound and junior mortgage loans.  The
Company's real estate is located throughout the continental United States.
Information regarding the real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios
of the Company is set forth in ITEM 2. "PROPERTIES", and in Schedules III and
IV to the Consolidated Financial Statements included at ITEM 8. "FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA."

The Company's business is not seasonal.  The Company has determined to pursue a
balanced investment policy, seeking both current income and capital
appreciation.  With respect to new investments, the Company's plan of operation
is to consider all types of real estate, but in an attempt to bring balance to
its real estate portfolio, the Company will focus on apartments, primarily
located in the Southeast and Southwest regions of the United States.  In making
any new investments, emphasis will be on acquiring properties generating
current cash flow.  As it has done in the past, the Company will then invest in
and improve these assets to maximize both their immediate and longer term
value.

The Company's operating strategy with regard to its properties is to maximize
each property's operating income by aggressive property management through
closely monitoring expenses while at the same time

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS (Continued)

Business Plan and Investment Policy (Continued)

making property renovations and/or improvements where appropriate.  While such
expenditures increase the amount of revenue required to cover operating
expenses, the Company's management believes that such expenditures are
necessary to maintain or enhance the value of the Company's properties.

The Company has determined that it will no longer seek to fund or acquire new
mortgage loans.  It may, however, originate mortgage loans in conjunction with
providing purchase money financing of a property sale.  The Company does
intend, however, to service and hold for investment the mortgage notes
currently in its portfolio.  The Company also intends to pursue its rights
vigorously with respect to mortgage notes that are in default.  The Company's
Articles of Incorporation impose no limitations on the Company's investment
policy with respect to mortgage loans and do not prohibit the Company from
investing more than a specified percentage of its assets in any one mortgage
loan.

The Company's Board of Directors currently intends to continue its policy of
prohibiting the Company from incurring aggregate secured and unsecured
indebtedness in excess of 300% of the Company's net asset value (defined as the
book value of all assets of the Company minus all of its liabilities); however,
the Board of Directors may alter such policy at any time.

Management of the Company

Although the Company's Board of Directors is directly responsible for managing
the affairs of the Company and for setting the policies which guide it, the
day-to-day operations of the Company are performed by Basic Capital Management,
Inc. ("BCM" or the "Advisor"), a contractual advisor under the supervision of
the Company's Board of Directors.  The duties of the Advisor include, among
other things, locating, investigating, evaluating and recommending real estate
and mortgage note investment and sales opportunities, as well as financing and
refinancing sources for the Company.  The Advisor also serves as a consultant
in connection with the Company's business plan and investment decisions made by
the Company's Board of Directors.

BCM is a company owned by a trust for the benefit of the children of Gene E.
Phillips.  Mr. Phillips served as a Director of the Company until December 31,
1992.  Mr. Phillips also served as a director of BCM until December 22, 1989
and as Chief Executive Officer of BCM until September 1, 1992.  Mr. Phillips
serves as a representative of his children's trust which owns BCM and, in such
capacity, has substantial contact with the management of BCM and input with
respect to its performance of advisory services to the Company.  BCM is more
fully described  in ITEM 10. "DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ADVISOR OF THE
REGISTRANT - The Advisor."

BCM has been providing advisory services to the Company since March 28, 1989.
Renewal of BCM's advisory agreement with the Company was approved

Management of the Company (Continued)

by the Company's stockholders at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders
held on March 7, 1995.  BCM also serves as advisor to Continental Mortgage and
Equity Trust ("CMET") and Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc., formerly
Income Opportunity Realty Trust (collectively "IORI").  The Directors of the
Company are also trustees or directors of CMET and IORI and the officers of the
Company are also officers of CMET and IORI.  Mr. Phillips is a general partner
of Syntek Asset Management, L.P. ("SAMLP"), the general partner of National
Realty, L.P. ("NRLP") and National Operating, L.P.  ("NOLP"), the operating
partnership of NRLP.  BCM performs certain administrative functions for NRLP
and NOLP on a cost-reimbursement basis.  BCM also serves as advisor to
American Realty Trust, Inc. ("ART").  Mr. Phillips served as Chairman of the
Board and as a director of ART until November 16, 1992.  Randall M. Paulson,
President of the Company, also serves as President of BCM, CMET and IORI, and
as the President and a director of Syntek Asset Management, Inc.  ("SAMI"),
which is the managing general partner of SAMLP.  The officers of the Company
are also officers of ART.  As of March 15, 1996, the Company owned
approximately 22% of IORI's shares of common stock and ART owned approximately
29% of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock and approximately
27% of IORI's outstanding shares of common stock.

Since February 1, 1990, affiliates of BCM have provided property management
services to the Company.  Currently, Carmel Realty Services, Ltd. ("Carmel,
Ltd.") provides such property management services.  Carmel, Ltd. subcontracts
with other entities for the provision of the property-level management services
to the Company.  The general partner of Carmel, Ltd. is BCM.  The limited
partners of Carmel, Ltd. are (i) Syntek West, Inc. ("SWI"), of which Mr.
Phillips is the sole shareholder, (ii) Mr. Phillips and (iii) a trust for the
benefit of the children of Mr. Phillips.  Carmel, Ltd.  subcontracts the
property-level management and leasing of 24 of the Company's commercial
properties and its hotel and the commercial properties owned by a real estate
partnership in which the Company and IORI are partners to Carmel Realty, Inc.
("Carmel Realty"), which is a company owned by SWI.  Carmel Realty is entitled
to receive property and construction management fees and leasing commissions in
accordance with the terms of its property-level management agreement with
Carmel, Ltd.

Carmel Realty is also entitled to receive real estate brokerage commissions in
accordance with the terms of a non-exclusive brokerage agreement as discussed
in ITEM 10.  "DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ADVISOR OF THE REGISTRANT - The
Advisor."

The Company has no employees.  Employees of the Advisor render services to the
Company.

Competition

The real estate business is highly competitive and the Company competes with
numerous entities engaged in real estate activities (including


                                       5
<PAGE>   6
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS (Continued)

Competition (Continued)

certain entities described in ITEM 13. "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS - Related Party Transactions"), some of which may have greater
financial resources than those of the Company.  The Company's management
believes that success against such competition is dependent upon the geographic
location of the property, the performance of property managers in areas such as
marketing, collections and the ability to control operating expenses, the
amount of new construction in the area and the maintenance and appearance of
the property.  Additional competitive factors with respect to commercial
properties are the ease of access to the property, the adequacy of related
facilities, such as parking, and sensitivity to market conditions in setting
rent levels.  With respect to apartments, competition is also based upon the
design and mix of the units and the ability to provide a community atmosphere
for the tenants.  The Company's management believes that general economic
circumstances and trends and new or renovated properties in the vicinity of
each of the Company's properties are also competitive factors.

To the extent that the Company seeks to sell any of its properties, the sales
prices for such properties may be affected by competition from other real
estate entities and financial institutions also attempting to sell their
properties located in areas in which the Company's properties are located.

As described above and in ITEM 13. "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS - Related Party Transactions", the officers and Directors of the
Company also serve as officers or trustees or directors of certain other
entities, each of which is also advised by BCM, and each of which has business
objectives similar to the Company's.  The Company's Directors, officers and
Advisor owe fiduciary duties to such other entities as well as to the Company
under applicable law.  In determining to which entity a particular investment
opportunity will be allocated, the officers, directors or trustees and the
Advisor consider the respective investment objectives of each such entity and
the appropriateness of a particular investment in light of each such entity's
existing real estate portfolio.  To the extent that any particular investment
opportunity is appropriate to more than one of such entities, such investment
opportunity will be allocated to the entity which has had funds available for
investment for the longest period of time or, if appropriate, the investment
may be shared among all or some of such entities.

In addition, as also described in ITEM 13. "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS - Certain Business Relationships," the Company also competes with
other entities which are affiliates of the Advisor and which may have
investment objectives similar to the Company's and that may compete with the
Company in purchasing, selling, leasing and financing real estate and real
estate related investments.  In resolving any potential conflicts of interest
which may arise, the Advisor has informed the Company that it intends to
continue to exercise its best judgment as to what is fair and reasonable under
the circumstances in accordance with applicable law.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS (Continued)

Certain Factors Associated with Real Estate and Related Investments

The Company is subject to all the risks incident to ownership and financing of
real estate and interests therein, many of which relate to the general
illiquidity of real estate investments.  These risks include, but are not
limited to, 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, increases in real estate taxes, federal or local economic or
rent controls, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and other acts of God and other
factors beyond the control of the Company's management or Advisor.  The
illiquidity of real estate investments may also impair the ability of the
Company to respond promptly to changing circumstances.  The Company's
management believes that such risks are partially mitigated by the
diversification by geographic region and property type of the Company's real
estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios.  However, to the extent new
property investments are concentrated in any particular region, the advantages
of geographic diversification may be mitigated.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

The Company's principal offices are located at 10670 North Central Expressway,
Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75231.  In the opinion of the Company's management,
the Company's offices are suitable and adequate for its present operations.

Details of the Company's real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios
at December 31, 1995, are set forth in Schedules III and IV, respectively, to
the Consolidated Financial Statements included at ITEM 8. "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA."  The discussions set forth below under the headings
"Real Estate" and "Mortgage Loans" provide certain summary information
concerning the Company's real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios.

The Company's real estate portfolio consists of properties held for investment,
investments in real estate entities and properties held for sale, primarily
obtained through foreclosure of the collateral securing mortgage notes
receivable.  The discussion set forth below under the heading "Real Estate"
provides certain summary information concerning the Company's real estate and
further summary information with respect to the Company's properties held for
investment, properties held for sale and investments in real estate entities.

At December 31, 1995, none of the Company's properties, mortgage notes
receivable or investments in real estate entities exceeded 10% or more of the
Company's total assets.  At December 31, 1995, 85% of the Company's assets
consisted of properties held for investment, 2% consisted of properties held
for sale, 4% consisted of mortgage notes and interest receivable and 2%
consisted of investments in real estate entities.  The remaining 7% of the
Company's assets at December 31, 1995 were invested in cash, cash equivalents
and other assets.  The percentage of the Company's assets invested in any one
category is sub-





                                       7

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES (Continued)


ject to change and no assurance can be given that the composition of the
Company's assets in the future will approximate the percentages listed above.

The Company's real estate is geographically diverse.   At December 31, 1995,
the Company held investments in apartments and commercial properties in each of
the geographic regions of the continental United States, although its
apartments and commercial properties are concentrated in the Southeast and
Southwest regions, as shown more specifically in the table under "Real Estate"
below.  At December 31, 1995, the Company held mortgage notes receivable
secured by real estate located in each of the geographic regions, other than
the Mountain and Pacific regions, of the continental United States, with a
concentration in the Southeast region, as shown more specifically in the table
under "Mortgage Loans" below.

To continue to qualify for federal taxation as a REIT under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Company is required, among other things,
to hold at least 75% of the value of its total assets in real estate assets,
government securities, cash and cash equivalents at the close of each quarter
of each taxable year.

Geographic Regions

The Company has divided the continental United States into the following six
geographic regions.

    Northeast region comprised of the states of Connecticut, Delaware,
    Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania,
    Rhode Island and Vermont, and the District of Columbia.  The Company owns 3
    apartments and 1 commercial property in this region.

    Southeast region comprised of the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
    Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.  This
    Company owns 3 apartments and 10 commercial properties in this region.

    Southwest region comprised of the states of Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana,
    New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.  The Company owns 6 apartments and 9
    commercial properties in this region.

    Midwest region comprised of the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
    Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio,
    South Dakota, West Virginia and Wisconsin.  The Company owns 1 apartment
    and 3 commercial properties in this region.

    Mountain region comprised of the states of Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
    Nevada, Utah and Wyoming.  The Company owns 1 commercial property in this
    region.

    Pacific region comprised of the states of California, Oregon and
    Washington.  The Company owns 1 apartment, 1 hotel and 3 commercial
    properties in this region.

Excluded from the above are five parcels of unimproved land as described below.

Real Estate

At December 31, 1995, approximately ninety percent of the Company's assets were
invested in real estate.  The Company invests in real estate located throughout
the continental United States, either on a leveraged or nonleveraged basis.
The Company's real estate portfolio consists of properties held for investment,
investments in real estate entities and properties held for sale (which were
primarily obtained through foreclosure of the collateral securing mortgage
notes receivable).

Types of Real Estate Investments.  The Company's real estate consists of
commercial properties (a hotel, office buildings, industrial facilities and
shopping centers) and apartments or similar properties having established
income- producing capabilities.  In selecting new real estate investments, the
location, age and type of property, gross rentals,

ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES (Continued)

Real Estate (Continued)

lease terms, financial and business standing of tenants, operating  expenses,
fixed charges, land values and physical condition are among the factors
considered.  The Company may acquire properties subject to or assume existing
debt and may mortgage, pledge or otherwise obtain  financing for its
properties.  The Company's Board of Directors may alter the types of and
criteria for selecting new real estate investments and for obtaining financing
without a vote of stockholders.

Although the Company has typically invested in developed real estate, and has
no current intentions to do otherwise, the Company may also invest in new
construction or development either directly or in partnership with
nonaffiliated parties or affiliates (subject to approval by the Company's Board
of Directors).  To the extent that the Company invests in construction and
development projects, the Company would be subject to business risks, such as
cost overruns and construction delays, associated with such higher risk
projects.

At December 31, 1995, the Company had one office building on which significant
capital improvements were in process.  The improvements commenced in 1995 and
are scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 1996.  Expenditures
through December 31, 1995 totaled $252,000 with $56,000 expected to be expended
by the Company in the first quarter of 1996.

In the opinion of the Company's management, the properties owned by the Company
are adequately covered by insurance.

_________________________________

*        Property was acquired in either 1994 or 1995.

Occupancy presented here and throughout this ITEM 2. is without reference to
whether leases in effect are at, below or above market rates.

In December 1995, the Company's management made its annual review of the
Company's real estate portfolio and reclassified the Majestic Inn, a hotel in
San Francisco, California, from properties held for sale to properties held for
investment.  The Company also reclassified the Park Forest Apartments, an
apartment complex in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, from properties held for
investment to properties held for sale as the property was under contract for
sale at December 31, 1995.  See "Properties Held for Sale," below.

In March 1994, the Company borrowed $1.4 million from a Northtown Mall tenant,
secured by a second lien on the shopping center.  The loan proceeds were used
primarily for specified renovations and repairs to the shopping center.  In
October 1994, the tenant loaned the Company an additional $1.9 million, the
proceeds of which were used in part to repay the first mortgage secured by the
property.  At funding of the second loan, the two loans were combined into a

31, 1995.  The Company did not payoff the mortgage at maturity.  The Company is
in negotiations with the lender to extend the loan.  The Company expects to be
successful in such negotiations, but if it is not, it intends to payoff the
loan.

In December 1994, NCPO Texas, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership, purchased the
North Central Plaza One Building, a 198,061 square foot office building in
Dallas, Texas for $12.4 million, consisting of $4.2 million in cash and new
mortgage financing of $8.2 million.

The Company was the sole limited partner of the partnership with a 97.5%
limited partner interest.  The partnership was consolidated for financial
statement purposes.  The general partner of the partnership, with a 2.5%
general partner interest, was Ensearch Holding Company, a corporation
controlled by an adult son of A. Bob Jordan, a Director of the Company until
March 7, 1995.  In December 1995, the Company sold its partnership interest in
NCPO Texas, Ltd. for $4.8 million in cash.  The Company recognized no gain or
loss on the transaction.

The Company owns Institute Place Lofts, a 142,215 square foot office building
in Chicago, Illinois.  The Company did not payoff the $6.3 million mortgage
secured by the property on its June 1, 1993 maturity, as the Company determined
further investment in the property could not be justified without a substantial
modification of the mortgage.  In July 1994, the property was placed in
bankruptcy.  In January 1995, the Bankruptcy Court approved a plan of   
reorganization which provides for a reduction in the mortgage's secured
principal balance to $4.1 million, reduces the pay rate to 6% per annum in the
first year, increasing to 10.25% per annum in the fourth year, with interest
accruing at 10.25% per annum.  In February 1995, the Company funded required
escrows of $500,000 to satisfy outstanding real estate taxes and to cover
projected negative cash flow of the property.  The Company recorded no gain or
loss as a result of the debt restructuring.

Effective January 1, 1995, the other 50% general partners in both Twinbrook
Village Associates, which owns Woods Edge Apartments in Rockville, Maryland,
and Gate Laurel Associates, which owns the Westgate of Laurel Apartments in
Laurel, Maryland, conveyed their interests in the partnerships to the Company
in exchange for a release from their general partner liability.

In April 1995, the Company purchased the remaining general partner interest in
Shadow Run Associates, which owns the Shadow Run Apartments, an apartment
complex in Pinellas Park, Florida, for $50,000 in cash.  In January 1995, the
partnership had refinanced the mortgage debt secured by the Shadow Run
Apartments.  The new first mortgage of $7.2 million bears interest at 10.21% per
annum, requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $64,305 and
matures February 1, 2002.  The partnership used the refinancing proceeds and a
$300,000 advance from the Company to pay the existing mortgage of $7.0 million,
accrued but unpaid interest, financing fees

Village Apartments in Tucson, Arizona, in the amount of $6.2 million.  The
Company received net cash of $1.1 million after the payoff of $4.9 million in

fund required repair and tax escrows and the payment of various closing costs
associated with the refinancing.  In November 1995, the Company again
refinanced the mortgage debt in the amount of $8.2 million.  The Company
received net cash of $2.0 million after the payoff of $6.2 million on the then
existing mortgage debt.  The new mortgage bears interest at 7.875%, requires
monthly payments of principal and interest of $62,611 and matures December 1,
2005.  The Company paid total mortgage brokerage and equity refinancing fees of
$82,000 to BCM based on the $8.2 million refinancing.

loans secured by the Dunes Plaza Shopping Center in Michigan City, Indiana.
The three loans, totaling $4.6 million after a principal reduction payment of
$185,000, were consolidated into one new loan.  In consideration of the
Company's principal paydown, the lender forgave $48,000 of the consolidated
loan's principal balance.  The consolidated loan provides that for every $3.86
of principal prepayments made by the Company during the first year, the lender
will forgive $1.00 of indebtedness, up to $191,632.  Also, for each $3.86 of
certain capital and tenant improvement expenditures approved by the lender, the
lender shall forgive an additional $1.00 of indebtedness, up to $323,507.  The
consolidated loan bears interest at 9.5% per annum, requires monthly payments
of principal and interest of $42,505 and matures March 10,

for the Company's agreement to increase its pay down by  $300,000.  The Company
made the required $1.9 million paydown.  Upon payment, all of the Company's

Mortgage Loans

In addition to investments in real estate, a substantial portion of the
Company's assets are invested in mortgage notes receivable, principally secured
by income-producing real estate.  The Company expects that the percentage of
its assets invested in mortgage loans will decrease, as it has determined that
it will no longer seek to fund or acquire mortgage loans, other than those
which it may originate in conjunction with

providing purchase money financing of a property sale.  The Company does
intend, however, to service and hold for investment the mortgage notes
currently in its portfolio.  The Company's mortgage notes receivable consist of
first, wraparound and junior mortgage loans.

Types of Mortgage Activity.  In the past the Company has originated its own
mortgage loans, as well as acquired existing mortgage notes either directly
from builders, developers or property owners, or through mortgage banking
firms, commercial banks or other qualified brokers.  The Company is not
considering new mortgage lending, except in connection with purchase money
financing offered to facilitate the sale of Company owned properties.  BCM, in
its capacity as a mortgage servicer, services the Company's mortgage notes.
The Company's investment policy is described in ITEM 1.  "BUSINESS - Business
Plan and Investment Policy."

Types of Properties Securing Mortgage Notes.  The properties securing the
Company's mortgage notes receivable portfolio at December 31, 1995, consisted of
an office building, a shopping center, 3 apartment complexes, a single-family
residence, a hotel, 36.3 acres of commercial land, 12 developed residential lots
and a 34,847 square foot parcel of unimproved land.  The Company's Board of
Directors may alter the types of properties securing or collateralizing mortgage
loans in which the Company invests without a vote of stockholders. The Company's
Articles of Incorporation impose certain restrictions on transactions with
related parties, as discussed in ITEM 13. "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS."

At December 31, 1995, the Company's mortgage notes receivable portfolio
included seven mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $10.2
million secured by income-producing real estate located throughout the United
States, 22 loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $1.6 million which
are secured by collateral other than income-producing real estate and two
unsecured notes.  At December 31, 1995, 4% of the Company's assets were
invested in notes and interest receivable (2% in first mortgage notes, 2% in
wraparound mortgage notes and less than 1% in junior and other mortgage notes).

The following table sets forth the percentages (based on the outstanding
mortgage note balance) by property type and geographic region, of the
properties (other than a hotel, a residence and unimproved land) that serve as
collateral for the Company's outstanding mortgage notes receivable at December
31, 1995.  See Schedule IV to the Consolidated Financial Statements included at
ITEM 8. "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA" for further details of

</TABLE>

During 1995, mortgage notes receivable totaling $2.8 million were collected in
full and $85,000 in mortgage principal payments were received.

At December 31, 1995, less than 1% of the Company's assets were invested in
mortgage notes secured by non-income-producing real estate, comprised of a
first mortgage note secured by 36.3 acres of commercial land in Maumelle,
Arkansas, a first mortgage note secured by 34,847 square feet of unimproved
land in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, twelve first mortgage notes secured by developed
residential lots in Greensboro, North Carolina and a first mortgage note
secured by a residence in Phoenix, Arizona.

First Mortgage Loans.  The Company has invested in first mortgage notes, with
short, medium or long-term maturities.  First mortgage loans generally provide
for level periodic payments of principal and interest sufficient to
substantially repay the loan prior to maturity, but may involve interest-only
payments or moderate amortization of principal and a "balloon" principal
payment at maturity.  With respect to first mortgage loans, the Company's
general policy was to require that the borrower provide a mortgagee's title
policy or an acceptable legal title  opinion as to the validity and the
priority of the mortgage lien over all other obligations, except liens arising
from unpaid property taxes and other exceptions normally allowed by first
mortgage lenders in the relevant area.  The Company may grant to other lenders
participations in first mortgage loans originated by the Company.

The following discussion briefly describes the events that affected previously
funded first mortgage loans during 1995.

In February 1994, the Company provided $6.7 million of purchase money financing
in conjunction with the sale of 1,406 acres of land in sixteen developed
residential and commercial subdivisions located in Maumelle, Arkansas.  The
borrower did not make the scheduled February 1995 principal and interest
payments.  In September 1995, the Company reached a settlement with the
borrower that provided the following:  (i) the payment by the borrower of $2.5
million in cash; (ii) the Company's release of all land securing the note;
(iii) the Company's acceptance of a new $1.4 million note secured by 36.3 acres
of commercial land, such note bore interest at 9.0% and matured in January 1996
and (iv) the Company's receipt of 700,000 shares of the borrower's capital
stock, which the borrower has the option to repurchase at $5.00 per share for
two years from closing.  The original sale had been recorded under the

cost recovery method with gain being deferred until the note was collected.
With the Company's receipt of $2.5 million in cash on September 12, 1995, it
recognized $1.6 million of the gain previously deferred.  The $1.4 million note
was not paid at maturity.  The Company has commenced negotiations with the
borrower in an effort to correct the default and has also begun foreclosure
proceedings.  The Company does not expect to incur a loss on the note as the
fair value of the property exceeds the carrying value of the note.

In April,  May and October 1995, four mortgage notes receivable with a total
principal balance of $43,000 plus accrued interest were paid in full.

In June 1995, the Company obtained the Gladstell Forest Apartments, a 136 unit
apartment complex in Conroe, Texas through foreclosure of a note receivable
which the  Company had received in December 1991 in satisfaction of a debtor's
guarantee of another obligation to the Company.  The Company had assigned no
value to the note receivable.  See "Real Estate - Properties Held for
Investment," above.

In June and December 1991, in an effort to develop a potential future financing
source, the Company entered into an asset sales agreement whereby the Company
sold a participation in one of its mortgage notes in the amount of $1.3 million
in exchange for the assignment of a first mortgage note of $1.1 million and a
$181,000 participation in another first mortgage note (the "loan
participation") from an insurance company.  In conjunction with these
transactions, the Company entered into a put and guaranty agreement.

Both the mortgage note and the loan participation received by the Company were
in default at December 31, 1991.  In April 1992, the property securing the
first mortgage note in the amount of $1.1 million was deeded to the Company in
lieu of foreclosure.  In the first quarter of 1992, the Company recorded a
provision for loss of $366,000 to reduce the carrying value of the mortgage
note to the estimated fair value of the collateral property.  In September
1993, the Company sold the property for $850,000, receiving $125,000 in cash
and providing purchase money financing of $725,000.  The Company recognized no
loss on the sale beyond the amount previously provided.  In the third quarter
of 1992, the Company recorded a provision for loss of $184,000 to fully reserve
for the carrying value of the loan participation.

In March 1992, the insurance company was placed in receivership and in June
1992, the Company provided notice to the insurance company, under the terms of
the put and guaranty agreement, of its desire to divest itself of all assets
received.  The Receiver refused to allow the enforcement of the terms of the
put and guaranty agreement.

A settlement between the Company and the Receiver was approved by the court on
February 15, 1995.  Under the terms of the settlement, the Company paid the
insurance company a total of $1.1 million in July 1995.  In exchange, the
Company retained the assets transferred to it by the

insurance company as well as received back from the insurance company the loan
participation that the insurance company had received from the Company.  The
Company incurred no loss on the settlement.

In March 1996, the Company accepted a discounted payoff of $825,000 in
settlement of a first mortgage note receivable with a principal balance of
$875,000.  The Company recorded no loss on the note settlement in excess of the
reserve previously established.

Wraparound Mortgage Loans.  A wraparound mortgage loan, sometimes called an
all-inclusive loan, is a mortgage loan having an original principal balance
equal to the outstanding balance under the prior existing mortgage loan(s) plus
the amount actually advanced under the wraparound mortgage loan.  Wraparound
mortgage loans may provide for full, partial or no amortization of principal.
The Company's policy was to make wraparound mortgage loans in amounts and on
properties as to which it would otherwise make first mortgage loans.

The Company did not originate or acquire any wraparound mortgage loans in 1995.

Junior Mortgage Loans.  The Company has invested in junior mortgage loans.
Such loans are secured by mortgages that are subordinate to one or more prior
liens either on the fee or a leasehold interest in real estate.  Recourse on
such loans ordinarily includes the real estate on which the loan is made, other
collateral and personal guarantees by the borrower.  The Company's Board of
Directors restricts investment in junior mortgage loans, excluding wraparound
mortgage loans, to not more than 10% of the Company's assets.  At December 31,
1995, less than 1% of the Company's assets were invested in junior mortgage
loans.

The Company did not originate or acquire any junior mortgage loans in 1995.

Loans Secured by Collateral Other than Real Estate.  In June 1992, the Company
received ten notes receivable secured by collateral other than real estate in
satisfaction of a $622,000 obligation to the Company.  At December 31, 1995,
seven of the notes with a combined principal balance of $440,000 remained
outstanding.  The Company's investment policy precludes the origination of
loans secured by collateral other than real estate.  In January 1995, the
Company received $11,000 in settlement of a note receivable with a principal
balance of $20,000.  The Company recorded no  loss on the settlement in excess
of the reserve previously established.

Partnership mortgage loans.  The Company owns a 60% general partner interest
and IORI owns a 40% general partner interest in Nakash Income Associates
("NIA").  NIA in turn owns two wraparound  mortgage notes receivable, one of
which is secured by the Green Hills Shopping Center ("Green Hills") in
Onandaga, New York.  The shopping center in turn is owned by Green Hills
Associates ("GHA").  In July 1995, GHA informed NIA that it had determined that
further investment in Green Hills was not

justified, and further that it has offered to deed the property back to the
first lienholder in lieu of foreclosure.  As GHA has no other assets, the
wraparound note receivable held by NIA will become uncollectible, and
therefore, NIA recorded a provision for loss of $1.5 million to write its
wraparound note receivable down to the balance of the first lien mortgage.  The
Company's equity share of the loss was $901,000.  The property has been placed
in receivership and foreclosure is anticipated to occur on or about March 29,
1996.

In September 1995, the Company received notice from NIA that its other
wraparound note receivable had been modified in conjunction with the
modification of the underlying note payable.  NIA recorded a provision for loss
of $212,000 on such modification of which the Company's equity share was
$127,000.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Olive Litigation

In February 1990, the Company, together with CMET, IORI and National Income
Realty Trust ("NIRT"), three real estate entities with, at the time, the same
officers, directors or trustees and advisor as the Company, entered into a
settlement of a class and derivative action entitled Olive et al. v. National
Income Realty Trust et al., in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California relating to the operation and management of each
such entities.  On April 23, 1990, the Court granted final approval of the
terms of the 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.  Final court approval of
the Modification was entered on December 12, 1994.  The effective date of the
Modification was January 11, 1995.

The Modification, among other things, provided for the addition of three new
unaffiliated members to the Company's Board of Directors and set forth new
requirements for the approval of any transactions with affiliates until April
28, 1999.  In addition, BCM, the Company's advisor, Gene E. Phillips and
William S. Friedman, who served as President and Director of the Company until
February 24, 1994, President of BCM until May 1, 1993 and director of BCM until
December 22, 1989, agreed to pay a total of $1.2 million to CMET, IORI, NIRT
and the Company, of which the Company's share is $150,000.  As of March 1,
1996, the Company had received payments totaling $128,000.  The remaining
$22,000 is being paid in monthly installments through August 1, 1996.

Under the Modification, the Company, CMET, IORI and NIRT and their shareholders
released the defendants from any claims relating to the

Olive Litigation (Continued)

plaintiffs' allegations.  The Company, CMET, IORI and NIRT 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 Company held by Messrs. Phillips, Friedman or their
affiliates shall be (i) voted in favor of the reelection of all current members
of the Company's Board of Directors that stand for reelection during the two
calendar years following the effective date of the Modification and (ii) voted
in favor of all new members of the Company's Board of Directors appointed
pursuant to the terms of the Modification that stand for reelection during the
three calendar years following the effective date of the Modification.

Pursuant to the terms of the Modification, certain related party transactions
which the Company may enter into prior to April 28, 1999, require the unanimous
approval, with the exceptions noted below, of the Company's Board of Directors.
In addition, such related party transactions are to be discouraged and may only
be entered into in exceptional circumstances and after a determination by the 
Company's Board of Directors that the transaction is in the best interests of 
the Company and that no other opportunity exists that is as good as the 
opportunity presented by such transaction.

For purposes of the Modification requirements, the term "related party
transaction" means and includes:  (i) any transaction between or among the
Company or CMET, IORI or NIRT or any of their affiliates or subsidiaries; (ii)
any transaction between or among the Company, its affiliates or subsidiaries
and the Advisor, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Friedman or any of their affiliates; and
(iii) any transaction between or among the Company or any of its affiliates or
subsidiaries and a third party with whom the Advisor, Mr. Phillips, Mr.
Friedman or any of their affiliates has an ongoing or contemplated business or
financial transaction or relationship of any kind, whether direct or indirect,
or has had such a transaction or relationship in the preceding one year.

The Modification requirements for related party transactions do not apply to
direct contractual agreements for services between the Company and the Advisor
or one of its affiliates (including the Advisory Agreement, the Brokerage
Agreement and the property management contracts).  These agreements, pursuant
to the specific terms of the Modification, require the prior approval by
two-thirds of the Directors of the Company, and if required, approval by a
majority of the Company's stockholders.  The Modification requirements for
related party transactions also do not apply to joint ventures between or among
the Company and CMET, IORI or NIRT or any of their affiliates or subsidiaries
and a third party having no prior or intended future business or financial
relationship with Mr. Phillips, Mr. Friedman, the Advisor, or any affiliate of
such parties.  Such joint ventures may be entered into on the affirmative vote
of a majority of the Directors of the Company.

The Modification also terminated a number of the provisions of the  settlement,
including the requirement that the Company, CMET, IORI and

NIRT maintain a Related Party Transaction Committee and a Litigation Committee
of their respective Boards.  The court retained jurisdiction to enforce the
Modification.

The Company reported to the Internal Revenue Service that 100% of the dividends
paid in 1995 represented a return of capital.

On December 5, 1989, the Company's Board of Directors approved a program for
the Company to repurchase its shares of Common Stock.  The Company's Board of
Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase a total of 687,000 shares of
its Common Stock pursuant to such program.  As of March 15, 1996, the Company
had repurchased 350,588 shares pursuant to such program at a cost to the
Company of $1.7 million.  None of such shares were repurchased in 1995 or 1996,
through March 15, 1996.

On March 24, 1989, the Company distributed one share purchase right for each
outstanding share of Common Stock.  The rights were terminated effective March
24, 1992 upon the Company's Board of Directors having determined that the
rights were no longer necessary to protect the Company from coercive tender
offers.  In connection with this determination, Messrs. Phillips and Friedman
and their affiliates agreed not to acquire more than 49% of the outstanding
shares of the Company's Common Stock without prior action by the Company's
Independent Directors to the effect that they do not object to such increased
ownership.

In August 1994, the Company's Board of Directors reviewed the limitation and
determined that, due to the fact that Mr. Friedman is no longer affiliated
with the stockholder group, and had disposed of any shares of the Company's
Common Stock which he or his affiliates may have owned, the limitation should
no longer apply to Mr. Friedman or his affiliates.  On August 23, 1994, the
Company's Board of Directors adopted a resolution to the effect that in
determining total ownership, shares of the Company's Common Stock owned by Mr.
Friedman and his affiliates are no longer to be included.  As of March 15,
1996, Mr. Phillips and his affiliates, primarily ART, owned approximately 38%
of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock.

On March 21, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors reconsidered its share
ownership limitation and determined that there was no reason to object to the
purchase by Mr. Phillips and his affiliates of additional shares in excess of
49% of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, there is
no longer any limitation on the percentage of shares of Common Stock of the
Company which may be acquired by Mr. Phillips and his affiliates.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (the "Company") invests in real estate
through acquisitions, leases and partnerships and in mortgage loans on real
estate, including first, wraparound and junior mortgage loans.  The Company is
the successor to a California business trust organized on September 6, 1983
which commenced operations on January 31, 1984.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1995 aggregated $9.6 million compared
with $563,000 at December 31, 1994.  The principal reasons for this increase in
cash are discussed in the paragraphs below.

The Company's principal sources of cash have been and will continue to be from
property operations, proceeds from property and mortgage note sales, the
collection of mortgage notes receivable, borrowings and to a lesser extent,
distributions from partnerships.  The Company expects that its cash balance at
December 31, 1995, and cash that will be generated in 1996 from the collection
of mortgage notes receivable, sales of properties, borrowings against certain
of the Company's unencumbered properties and refinancing or extension of
certain of its mortgage debt will be sufficient to meet all of the Company's
cash requirements, including debt service obligations coming due in 1996,
dividend payments and property maintenance and improvements, as more fully
discussed in the paragraphs below.

The Company's cash flow from property operations (rents collected less payments
for property operating expenses) has increased over the past three years from
$8.7 million in 1993 and 1994 to $15.3 million in 1995.  Of this $6.6 million
net increase from 1993 to 1995, $3.9 million is the result of the Company
having acquired additional income producing properties, both through purchase
and foreclosure, and the remainder of the $2.8 million increase is due to
increased occupancy and rents, primarily at its apartments, and the
Company's control of operating expenses.  The Company's management believes
that this trend will continue, as a result of increased rents at the
Company's apartments and increased occupancy of its commercial properties.

The Company owns a combined 63.7% limited and general partner interest in
Tri-City Limited Partnership which owns five properties in Texas.  In 1995, the
Company received distributions of $382,000 from the partnership's operating
cash flow, and $853,000 from its financing cash flow.  See NOTE 5. "INVESTMENTS
IN EQUITY METHOD REAL ESTATE ENTITIES."

In June 1995, the Company received a $500,000 settlement from one of the
defendants in a lawsuit brought by the Company against the former owners of the
RCA Building and their agents.  The Company made a loan secured by the building
in 1987 and filed a foreclosure action which was subsequently amended in 1990,
to include claims of negligent misrepresentation against the borrowers, their
legal counsel, architect and engineers.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

In 1995, the Company received cash of $2.9 million from the payoff or
collection of mortgage notes receivable.  The Company also received a total of
$25.4 million from new mortgage financings and refinancings during 1995.  In
1995, the Company expended $1.1 million in cash on real estate acquisitions and
made a total of $18.5 million in principal payoffs or paydowns on its mortgage
debt.

Scheduled principal payments on notes payable of $26.0 million are due in 1996.
It is the Company's intention to either pay the mortgages that mature in 1996
when due, or seek to extend the due dates one or more years, or refinance the
debt on a long-term basis.  The Company's management believes it will continue
to be successful in obtaining loan extensions or refinancings.

As discussed in NOTE 3. "REAL ESTATE AND DEPRECIATION," during 1995 the Company
funded $3.2 million for operating cash deficits, including tenant improvements
of $2.0 million, of the Republic Towers Office Building in Dallas, Texas due to
minimal occupancy and operating expenses far exceeding rents.  The Company
expects to fund a lesser amount for this property in 1996.

Pursuant to a repurchase program originally announced by the Company on
December 5, 1989, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the
repurchase of a total of 687,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.  As of
March 15, 1996, the Company had purchased 350,588 shares of its common stock at
a total cost to the Company of $1.7 million.  None of such shares were
repurchased in 1995 or 1996, through March 15, 1996.

During 1995, the Company resumed the payment of regular quarterly dividends.
The Company declared and paid dividends of $267,000 or $.07 per share in 1995.

On a quarterly basis, the Company's management reviews the carrying value of
the Company's mortgage notes receivable, properties held for investment and
properties held for sale. Generally accepted accounting principles require that
the carrying value of an investment cannot exceed the lower of its cost or its
estimated net realizable value.  In those instances in which estimates of net
realizable value of the Company's properties or notes are less than the
carrying value thereof at the time of evaluation, a provision for loss is
recorded by a charge against operations.  Estimated net realizable value of
mortgage notes receivable is based on the Company's management's review and
evaluation of the collateral properties securing such notes.  The property
review generally includes selective property inspections, a review of the
property's current rents compared to market rents, a review of the property's
expenses, a review of the maintenance requirements, discussions with the
manager of the property and a review of the surrounding area.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Results of Operations

1995 compared to 1994.  The Company's net loss for 1995 was $3.7 million
compared to a net loss of $3.4 million in 1994.  The Company's 1995 net loss
includes extraordinary gains of $1.4 million and a gain on sale of real estate
of $5.8 million and its 1994 net income includes a gain on sale of partnership
interests of $2.5 million, a gain on sale of real estate of $2.2 million and an
extraordinary gain of $1.2 million.  Fluctuations in the components of the
Company's revenues and expenses between the 1994 and 1995 are described below.

Rents increased $10.3 million in 1995 compared to 1994.  Of this increase in
rents, $4.5 million is due to the acquisition of the remaining partnership
interest in three partnerships in 1995; $5.1 million is due to property
acquisitions in late 1994; and $1.6 million is due to increases in occupancy at
several of the Company's commercial properties:  Chesapeake Ridge Office
Building, a 24% increase; Forum Office Building, a 10% increase; President's
Square Shopping Center, a 19% increase; and 74 New Montgomery Office Building,
a 41% increase.  These increases are partially offset by a decrease of $1.1
million in rents due to properties sold.

Property operating expenses increased $3.3 million in 1995 as compared to 1994.
Of this increase, $2.1 million is due to the acquisition of the remaining
partnership interest in three partnerships in 1995 and $3.8 million is due to
property acquisitions in late 1994.  These increases are partially offset by a
decrease of $1.6 million due to decreases in replacements, utilities and
administrative expenses, primarily at Republic Towers Office Building as well
as a decrease of $800,000 due to the buyout of a tenant lease in 1994, and a
decrease of $524,000 due to property sales.

Rents and property operations expenses both are expected to increase in 1996
due to anticipated increases in rents at the Company's apartments and increased
occupancy of its commercial properties.

Interest income for 1995 of $1.5 million was comparable to the $1.5 million in
1994.

Equity in losses of investees was $1.1 million in 1995 compared to $90,000 in
1994.  The increased equity loss is primarily due to the modification of a
wraparound mortgage note receivable and underlying note payable by Nakash
Income Associates ("NIA"), a partnership in which the Company has a 60% general
partner interest, and the writedown of a wraparound mortgage note receivable to
the balance of an underlying first lien mortgage also by NIA.  The Company's
equity share of the loss on the note modification was $127,000 and its equity
share of the note writedown was $901,000.  See NOTE 5. "INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY
METHOD REAL ESTATE ENTITIES."  The Company expects its equity investees to be
profitable in 1996.

Interest expense increased to $16.1 million in 1995 as compared to $10.6
million in 1994.  Of this increase, $1.8 million is attributable to the

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Results of Operations (Continued)

the acquisition of the remaining partnership interests in three partnerships    
during 1995, $1.9 milion is attributable to properties acquired in late 1994
$1.8 million is attributable to property financings and refinancings during
1995, and $459,000 is attributable to increases in the interest rates on
variable rate mortgage debt.  These increases are partially offset by a
decrease of $431,000 due to properties sold.  Interest expense is expected to
increase in 1996 due to anticipated property acquisitions and refinancings.

Depreciation expense increased to $8.6 million in 1995 as compared to $6.1      
million in 1994.  An increase of $638,000 is attributable to the acquisition of
the remaining partnership interests in three partnerships during 1995, an
increase of $787,000 is attributable to properties acquired in late 1994 and an
increase of $1.3 million is due to increased depreciation from property
additions and tenant improvements.  These increases are partially offset by a
decrease of $230,000 due to properties sold and $84,000 due to assets becoming
fully depreciated.  Depreciation expense is expected to increase in 1996 due to
anticipated property acquisitions.

The advisory fee increased to $1.8 million in 1995 as compared to $1.7 million
in 1994.  The increase is due to the increase in the Company's gross assets,
the basis for such fee.  Such fee is expected to increase as the Company's
asset base increases.

General and administrative expenses increased to $2.0 million in 1995 from $1.8
million in 1994.  The increase is due to an increase in advisory cost
reimbursements.

As described in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" above, in 1995 the Company
received a litigation settlement of $500,000.  Also in 1995, the Company
recognized a gain of $1.6 million on the collection of the note receivable
secured by the Maumelle land and a gain of $4.1 million on the sale of the
Summerchase Apartments.  See NOTE 2. "NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE" and NOTE
3. "REAL ESTATE AND DEPRECIATION."

The Company recognized extraordinary gains totaling $1.4 million in 1995, on
the payoff of the mortgage debt secured by the Fountain Village Apartments and
a principal pay down and modification of the mortgage debt secured by the Dunes
Plaza Shopping Center.  See NOTE 6. "NOTES PAYABLE."  In 1994, the Company
recognized a gain of $2.5 million on the sale of its interests in two
partnerships and a gain of $2.2 million on the sale of Cedar Creek Apartments,
and an extraordinary gain of $1.2 million on the disposition of a limited
partnership interest.

1994 compared to 1993.  The Company's net loss for 1994 was $3.4 million as
compared to a net loss of $8.6 million in 1993.  The Company's 1994 net loss
includes a gain on the sale of partnership interests of $2.5 million, gain on
sale of real estate of $2.2 million and an extraordinary gain of $1.2 million.
Included in the Company's 1993 net loss is a gain on sale of real estate of
$24,000 and an extraordinary gain of $1.6 million.  The primary factors
contributing to the Company's net loss are discussed in the following
paragraphs.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Results of Operations (Continued)

Net rental income (rents less property operating expenses) was $9.6 million in
1994 compared to $6.7 million in 1993.  Rents increased by $6.1 million in 1994
as compared to 1993.  Of this increase, $4.4 million is due to property
acquisitions in late 1993 and in 1994 and $1.3 million is due to increases in
occupancy at several of the Company's commercial properties:  Plaza Towers
Office Building, a 16% increase; 74 New Montgomery Office Building, a 26%
increase; and  Waterstreet Office Building, a 8% increase.  Property operating
expenses increased $3.3 million in 1994 as compared to 1993.  Of this increase,
$2.0 million is due to property acquisitions in late 1993 and in 1994, $623,000
is due to increased replacements, primarily at Venture Center Office Building,
and 74 New Montgomery Office Building and $800,000 is attributable to a lease
buyout at one of the Company's shopping centers.

Interest income decreased to $1.5 million in 1994 compared to $1.9 million in
1993.  The decrease is attributable to the payoff or modification of notes
receivable during 1994 and 1993.

Equity in results of operations of investees was a loss of $90,000 in 1994
compared to a loss of $262,000 in 1993.  A reduction in equity loss of $444,000
is attributable to the Company ceasing to record equity losses on the One Penn
Square Associates Limited Partnership ("One Penn Square").  The Company's
interest in the partnership was conveyed to the lender on the partnership's
office building to settle litigation.  See NOTE 5. "INVESTMENT IN EQUITY METHOD
REAL ESTATE ENTITIES."  This reduction in loss is partially offset by an
increase of $251,000 attributable to lower net income of Income Opportunity
Realty Investors, Inc., a real estate investment trust in which the Company had
an approximate 22% interest in 1994.

Interest expense increased to $10.6 million in 1994 compared to $8.7 million in
1993.  An increase of $2.2 million is attributable to properties acquired or
properties upon which debt financing or debt refinancing was obtained during
1993 and 1994.  An increase of $232,000 is attributable to increased interest
rates on variable rate loans.  These increases are partially offset by a
decrease of $318,000 attributable to loans paid off and properties sold during
1993 and 1994.

Depreciation expense increased to $6.1 million in 1994 as compared to $5.4
million in 1993.  This increase is attributable to properties acquired by the
Company in late 1993 and 1994.

The Company recorded no provision for losses in 1994 compared to $873,000 in
1993.  The 1993 provision for losses includes $731,000 to reduce the carrying
value of a property held for sale to its then estimated fair value and $142,000
to record the transfer of a note pool to a third party.

The advisory fee increased to $1.7 million in 1994 as compared to $1.5 million
in 1993, such increase is attributable to an increase in the Company's gross
assets, the basis for such fee.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Results of Operations (Continued)

General and administrative expenses of $1.8 million in 1994 decreased from $2.0
million in 1993.  The decrease is primarily related to a decrease in fees
related to the Olive Litigation which was settled in 1994.  See NOTE 15.
"COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - Olive Litigation."

In 1994, the Company realized a gain of $2.2 million on the sale of the Cedar
Creek Apartments and a gain of $2.5 million on the sale of its interest in two
partnerships.  In 1993, the Company realized a gain of $24,000 on the sale of
its interest in a property which the Company was to have received in a
litigation settlement.

In 1994, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain of $1.2 million on the
conveyance of its limited partner interest in One Penn Square to the lender on
the partnership's office building to settle litigation.  In 1993, the Company
recognized extraordinary gains of $1.1 million as a result of the forgiveness
of debt related to the modification of a mortgage and $500,000 as a result of
the early payoff of the mortgage secured by the Plaza Towers Office Building in
St.  Petersburg, Florida.

Environmental Matters

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

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

Inflation

The effects of inflation on the Company's operations are not quantifiable.
Revenues from property operations fluctuate proportionately with inflationary
increases and decreases in housing costs.  Fluctuations in  the rate of
inflation also affect sale values of properties, and correspondingly, the
ultimate realizable value of the Company's real estate and notes receivable
portfolios.  Inflation also has an effect on the Company's earnings from
short-term investments.

Tax Matters

For the years 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company elected and in the opinion of
the Company's management, qualified to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment
Trust ("REIT") as defined under Sections 856 through


                                       32
<PAGE>   33
ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Tax Matters (Continued)

860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  To continue
to qualify for federal taxation as a REIT under the Code, the Company is
required to hold at least 75% of the value of its total assets in real estate
assets, government securities, cash and cash equivalents at the close of each
quarter of each taxable year.  The Code also requires a REIT to distribute at
least 95% of its REIT taxable income, plus 95% of its net income from
foreclosure property, all as defined in Section 857 of the Code, on an annual
basis to stockholders.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 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".
The statement requires that long-lived assets be considered impaired "...if the
sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest
charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset."  If impairment exists,
an impairment loss shall be recognized, by a charge against earnings, equal to
"...the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value
of the asset."  If impairment of a long-lived asset is recognized, the carrying
amount of the asset shall be reduced by the amount of the impairment, shall be
accounted for as the asset's "new cost" and such new cost shall be depreciated
over the asset's remaining useful life.

SFAS No. 121 further requires that long-lived assets held for sale "...be
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell."  If
a reduction in a held for sale asset's carrying amount to fair value less cost
to sell is required, a provision for loss shall be recognized by a charge
against earnings.  Subsequent revisions, either upward or downward, to a held
for sale asset's fair value less cost to sell shall be recorded as an
adjustment to the asset's carrying amount, but not in excess of the asset's
carrying amount when originally classified or held for sale.  A corresponding
charge or credit to earnings is to be recognized.  Long-lived assets held for
sale are not to be depreciated.  SFAS No. 121 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995.

The Company's management estimates that if the Company had adopted SFAS No. 121
effective January 1, 1995, the Company would have recorded no depreciation in
1995 applicable to Park Forest Apartments, which is the Company's only income
producing property held for sale, the Company's net loss would have decreased by
$105,000 and that a provision for loss for either impairment of its properties
held for investment or for a decline in estimated fair value less cost to sell
of its properties held for sale would not have been required.  The Company
adopted SFAS No. 121 effective January 1, 1996.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


Board of Directors of
Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31,
1995 and 1994 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995.  We have also audited the schedules listed in the
accompanying index.  These financial statements and schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and schedules 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 and
schedules are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and schedules.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedules.
We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31,
1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Also, in our opinion, the schedules referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Transcontinental Realty
Investors, Inc. and consolidated entities (the "Company") have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the most significant
of which are described in NOTE 1. "SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES."
These, along with the remainder of 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 1994 and 1993 have been reclassified to conform to the
1995 presentation.  Shares and per share data have been restated for the three
for two forward stock split effected February 15, 1996.

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Company business.  Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc.
("TCI"), a Nevada corporation, is successor to a California business trust,
Transcontinental Realty Investors, which was organized on September 6, 1983.
The Company invests in real estate through direct equity ownership and
investments in real estate entities.  It also has invested in mortgage loans on
real estate, including first, wraparound and junior mortgage loans.

Basis of consolidation.  The Consolidated Financial Statements include the
accounts of TCI and subsidiaries and partnerships which it controls.  All
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  Minority
interests (which are not significant) are included in other liabilities.

Accounting estimates.  In the preparation of the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles it was necessary for the Company's 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 Consolidated
Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expense for the
year then ended.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Interest recognition on notes receivable.  It is the Company's policy to cease
recognizing interest income on notes receivable that have been delinquent for
60 days or more.  In addition, accrued but unpaid interest income is only
recognized to the extent that the net realizable value of the underlying
collateral exceeds the carrying value of the receivable.

Allowance for estimated losses.  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

                    TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC.
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Company's estimate of net realizable value of the property or collateral
securing each such note, or fair value of the collateral if foreclosure is
probable.  In estimating net realizable value, consideration is given to the
current estimated collateral or property value adjusted for costs to complete
or improve, hold and dispose.  The provision for losses is based on estimates,
and actual losses may vary from current estimates.  Such estimates are reviewed
periodically and any additional provision determined to be necessary is charged
against earnings in the period in which it becomes reasonably estimable.

Foreclosed real estate held for sale.  Foreclosed real estate is initially
recorded at new cost, defined as the lower of original cost or fair value minus
estimated costs of sale.  If a reduction in a held for sale asset's carrying
amount to fair value less cost to sell is required, a provision for loss is
recognized by a charge against earnings.  After foreclosure, the excess of new
cost, if any, over fair value minus estimated costs of sale is recognized in a
valuation allowance.  Subsequent revisions in fair value less cost to sell
either increase or decrease such valuation allowance, but not in excess of the
assets carrying amount when originally classified as held for sale.  See
"Allowance for estimated losses," above.  Properties held for sale are
depreciated in accordance with the Company's established depreciation policies.
See "Real Estate and Depreciation," below.

Annually, all foreclosed properties held for sale are reviewed by the Company's
management and a determination is made if the held for sale classification
remains appropriate.  The following are among the factors considered in
determining that a change in classification to held for investment is
appropriate:  (i) Company management has no intent to dispose of the property
within the next twelve months; (ii) the property is a "qualifying asset" as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (iii) property
improvements have been funded; and (iv) the Company's financial resources are
such that the property can be held long-term.  The subsequent classification of
property previously held for sale to held for investment does not result in a
restatement of previously reported revenues, expenses or net (loss).

Real estate and depreciation.  Real estate is carried at the lower of cost or
estimated net realizable value, except for foreclosed properties held for sale,
which are recorded initially at the lower of original cost or fair value minus
costs of sale.  Depreciation is provided for by the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 2 to 40 years.  Real
estate held for sale is not depreciated.

Present value discounts.  The Company provides for present value discounts on
notes receivable or payable that have interest rates that differ substantially
from prevailing market rates and amortizes such





                                       43

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

discounts by the interest method over the lives of the related notes.  The
factors considered in determining a market rate for notes receivable include
the borrower's credit standing, nature of the collateral and payment terms of
the note.

Revenue recognition on the sale of real estate.  Sales of real estate are
recognized when and to the extent permitted by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate" ("SFAS No.
66").  Until the requirements SFAS No. 66 for full profit recognition have been
met, transactions are accounted for using either the deposit, the installment,
the cost recovery or the financing method, whichever is appropriate.

Investment in noncontrolled partnerships and equity investees.  The Company
uses the equity method to account for investments in partnerships which it
does not control and for its investment in the shares of common stock of Income
Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc., formerly Income Opportunity Realty Trust
(collectively "IORI").  Under the equity method, the Company's initial
investment, recorded at cost, is increased by the Company's proportionate share
of the investee's operating income and additional advances and decreased by the
Company's proportionate share of the investee's operating losses and
distributions received.

Fair value of financial instruments.  The Company used the following
assumptions in estimating the fair value of its notes receivable, marketable
equity securities and notes payable.  For performing notes receivable, the fair
value was estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest
rates for similar loans.  For nonperforming notes receivable, the estimated
fair value of the Company's interest in the collateral property was used.  For
marketable equity securities, fair value was based on the year end closing
market price of the security.  The estimated fair value presented does not
purport to present the amounts to be ultimately realized by the Company.  The
amounts ultimately realized may vary significantly from the estimated fair
value presented. For notes payable, the fair value was estimated using current
rates for mortgages with similar terms and maturities.

Cash equivalents.  For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,
the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Earnings per share.  Loss per share is computed based upon the weighted average
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each year adjusted for the
three for two forward stock split effected February 15, 1996.

</TABLE>

The Company does not recognize interest income on nonperforming notes
receivable.  For the years 1995, 1994 and 1993, unrecognized interest income on
nonperforming notes receivable aggregated $231,000, $256,000 and $423,000,
respectively.

Notes receivable at December 31, 1995, mature from 1996 through 2016 with
interest rates ranging from 3.9% to 12.5%, with a weighted average rate of
11.36%.  Discounts are based on imputed interest rates of 10.0%.  Notes
receivable are generally nonrecourse and are generally collateralized by real
estate.  Scheduled principal maturities of $1.2 million are due in 1996.

In February 1993, the Company purchased two first lien mortgage notes secured
by notes and 1,900 acres of land in improved residential and commercial
subdivisions in Maumelle, Arkansas for $2.6 million in cash.  The notes, with a
principal balance of $7.8 million, were in default at the date of purchase.  In
May 1993, the Company completed foreclosure proceedings.  In July 1993, the
Company transferred the notes acquired through the foreclosure proceedings to a
third party, in exchange for the assumption of debt secured by the notes.  The
Company recognized a loss of $421,000 on the transfer, $279,000 of which had
previously been provided.

In February 1994, the Company provided $6.7 million of purchase money financing
in conjunction with the sale of 1,406 acres of the land in sixteen developed
residential and commercial subdivisions secured by a first lien on the
properties sold.  The note receivable bore interest at 8.0% per annum, required
annual payments of principal of $850,000 plus accrued interest and matured in
February 1998.  The note was guaranteed by companies affiliated with the
borrower.  The borrower did not make the scheduled February 1995 principal and
interest payments.  In September 1995, the Company reached a settlement with
the borrower that provided the following:  (i) the payment by the borrower of
$2.5 million

NOTE 2.   NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE (Continued)

in cash; (ii) the Company's release of all land securing the note; (iii) the
Company's acceptance of a new $1.4 million note secured by 36.3 acres of
commercial land, such note bore interest at 9.0% and matured in January 1996
and (iv) the Company's receipt of 700,000 shares of the borrower's capital
stock, which the borrower has the option to repurchase at $5.00 per share for
two years from closing.  The original sale had been recorded under the cost
recovery method with gain being deferred until the note was collected.  With
the Company's receipt of $2.5 million on September 12, 1995, it recognized $1.6
million of the gain previously deferred.  The $1.4 million note was not paid at
maturity.  The Company has commenced negotiations with the borrower in an
effort to correct the default and has also begun foreclosure proceedings.  The
Company does not expect to incur a loss on the note as the fair value of the
property exceeds the carrying value of the note.

In January 1995, the Company received $11,000 in settlement of a note
receivable with a principal balance of $20,000.  In April, May and October
1995, four mortgage notes receivable, secured by developed residential lots in
Greensboro, North Carolina, in the total amount of $43,000 were paid in full.

In June 1995, the Company obtained the Gladstell Forest Apartments, a 136 unit
apartment complex in Conroe, Texas through foreclosure of a note receivable
which the  Company had received in December 1991 in satisfaction of a debtor's
guarantee of another obligation to the Company.  The Company had assigned no
value to the note receivable.  In conjunction with the foreclosure, the Company
refinanced the property's $2.7 million mortgage for a like amount with the
Company receiving no net refinancing proceeds.

In June 1994, a mortgage note receivable with a principal balance of $2.7
million and secured by the Lincoln Court Apartments, a 53 unit apartment
complex in Dallas, Texas, was paid down and modified.  The apartment complex is
owned by Jor-Trans Investors Limited Partnership ("Jor-Trans"), in which the
Company has a combined 55% general and limited partner interest.  The Company
accounts for its investment in Jor-Trans using the equity method.  The Company
received $1.3 million in cash and the remaining note balance of $1.4 million
was split into two new notes and subordinated to a new first mortgage secured
by the property.

Also in June 1994, the Company sold the RCA Building, a vacant 100,800 square
foot office building in  Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, for $100,000.  The Company
provided purchase money financing for the entire sales price.  The note was
paid in full at its April 1995 maturity.

In July, August and October 1994, the Company received $120,000, $105,000 and
$74,000, respectively, from the payoff of three notes receivable at their
respective maturities.

NOTE 2.   NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE (Continued)

In September 1994, the Company received $30,000 in settlement of a note
receivable with a principal balance of $72,000.  The Company recorded no loss
on the settlement in excess of the reserve previously established.

In 1992, the Company purchased, from a financial institution, two mortgage
notes secured by first liens on an office building and a parcel of undeveloped
land and a mortgage note secured by a second lien on three commercial
properties for $680,000 in net cash.  At December 31, 1993, the notes were in
default.  In January 1994, the Company instituted foreclosure proceedings on
the first mortgage note secured by the office building.  In June 1994, the
Company wrote off the note receivable secured by the office building as
uncollectible.  In October 1995, the Company recovered $101,000 from the local
taxing authority that had foreclosed on the office building.  At December 31,
1995, the remaining two notes with a carrying value of $152,000 were in default
and fully reserved.

In June 1991 and December 1991, in an effort to develop a potential future
financing source, the Company entered into an asset sales agreement whereby the
Company sold a participation in one of its mortgage notes in the amount of $1.3
million in exchange for the assignment of a first mortgage note of $1.1 million
and a $181,000 participation in another first mortgage note (the "loan
participation") from an insurance company.   In conjunction  with these
transactions, the Company entered into a put and guaranty agreement.

Both the mortgage loan and the loan participation received by the Company were
in default at December 31, 1991.  In April 1992, the property securing the
first mortgage note in the amount of $1.1 million was deeded to the Company in
lieu of foreclosure.  In the first quarter of 1992, the Company recorded a
provision for losses of $366,000 to reduce the carrying value of the mortgage
note to the estimated fair value of the collateral property.  In September
1993, the Company sold the collateral property for $850,000, receiving $125,000
in cash and providing purchase money financing of $725,000.  The Company
recognized no loss on the sale beyond the amount previously provided.  In the
third quarter of 1992, the Company recorded a provision for losses of $184,000
to fully reserve for the carrying value of the loan participation.

In March 1992, the insurance company was placed in receivership.  In June 1992,
the Company provided notice to the insurance company under the terms of the put
and guaranty agreement, of its desire to divest itself of all assets received.
The Receiver refused to allow the enforcement of the terms of the put and
guaranty agreement.

A settlement between the Company and the Receiver was approved by the court on
February 15, 1995.  Under the terms of the settlement, the Company paid the
insurance company a total of $1.1 million in July 1995. In exchange, the
Company retained the assets transferred to it by the

insurance company as well as received back from the insurance company the loan
participation that the insurance company had received from the Company.  The
Company incurred no loss on the settlement.

NOTE 3.   REAL ESTATE AND DEPRECIATION

In December 1995, the Company's management made its annual review of the
Company's real estate portfolio and reclassified the Majestic Inn, a hotel in
San Francisco, California from properties held for sale to properties held for
investment.  The Company also reclassified the Park Forest Apartments, 44 unit
apartment complex in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, from properties held for
investment to properties held for sale, the Company having entered into a
contract to sell the property.  See NOTE 17. "SUBSEQUENT EVENTS."

In February 1995, the Company purchased a 48.18% interest in 8,153 square feet
of land in proximity to the Republic Towers Office Building ("Republic Towers")
in Dallas, Texas for $166,000 in cash.  In December 1995, the Company purchased
a 43,560 square foot parking lot also in proximity to Republic Towers for $1.1
million in cash.

As discussed in NOTE 2. "NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE," in June 1995, the
Company obtained the Gladstell Forest Apartments through foreclosure.

In November 1995, the Company sold the Summerchase Apartments, a 240 unit
apartment complex in Norcross, Georgia for $12.1 million, receiving net cash of
$3.1 million after the payment of the first mortgage of $8.7 million and a
prepayment penalty of $390,000.  The Company recognized a gain on the sale of
$4.1 million.

In December 1995, the Company sold the Heritage Shopping Center, a 16,446
square foot shopping center in Tulsa, Oklahoma for $418,000 in cash.  The
Company recognized a gain on the sale of $76,000.

During 1994, the Company purchased six commercial properties at a total cost of
$34.2 million and one apartment complex for $5.6 million.  In connection with
the acquisitions, the Company either assumed existing mortgage debt or obtained
new mortgage debt totaling $31.0 million with the remainder of the purchase
prices having been paid in cash.  Also during 1994, the Company sold one
apartment complex for $10.1 million, one office building for $100,000 and two
parcels of land, one parcel containing 1,406 acres of commercial and
residential land and the other parcel consisting of 44 residential lots for a
total of $8.4 million.  The Company received net cash of $4.3 million from the
sales after the payoff of $7.7 million in mortgage debt.  In conjunction with

The Company owns an approximate 22% interest in IORI, a publicly held Real
Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") with a market value of $3.4 million at
December 31, 1995.  IORI owns five apartments (three in Texas and one each in
California and Wisconsin) and two office buildings (one in California and the
other in Florida).

The Company owns a combined 63.7% general and limited partner interest in
Tri-City which owns five properties in Texas.  The Tri-City partnership
agreement requires the consent of both the Company and IORI (a 36.3% general
partner) for any material changes in the operations of Tri-City's properties,
including sales, refinancings and changes in property management.  The Company,
as a noncontrolling partner, accounts for its investment in Tri-City using the
equity method.

In July 1995, Tri-City obtained first mortgage financing of $1.4 million
secured by a previously unencumbered office building in Dallas, Texas.  The
Company received $853,000 of the net financing proceeds.

The Company owns 60% general partner interest and IORI owns a 40% general
partner interest in NIA.  The NIA partnership agreement requires the consent of
both the Company and IORI for any material changes in the  operations of NIA.

for its investment in NIA on the equity method.  NIA owns two wraparound
mortgage notes receivable, one of which is secured by a shopping center in
Onandaga, New York.  In July 1995, the owner of the shopping center informed
NIA that it had determined that further investment in the shopping center was
not justified, and further that it has offered to deed the property back to the
first lienholder in lieu of foreclosure making the wraparound note receivable
held by NIA uncollectible.  The property has been placed in receivership and
foreclosure is anticipated on or about March 29, 1996.  NIA recorded a
provision for loss of $1.5 million to write its wraparound note receivable down
to the balance of the first lien mortgage.  The Company's equity share of the
loss is $901,000.  In September 1995, the Company received notice from NIA that
the other of its wraparound notes receivable had been modified in conjunction
with the modification of the underlying note payable.  NIA recorded a provision
for loss of $212,000 on such modification of which the Company's share is
$127,000.

In April 1995, the Company purchased the remaining general partner interest in
Shadow Run Associates, which owns the Shadow Run Apartments, an apartment
complex in Pinellas Park, Florida for $50,000 in cash.  In January 1995, the
partnership had refinanced the mortgage debt secured by the Shadow Run
Apartments.  The partnership used the refinancing proceeds and a $300,000
advance from the Company to pay the existing mortgage of $7.0 million, accrued
but unpaid interest, financing fees and real estate taxes.

Effective January 1, 1995, the other 50% general partners in both Twinbrook
Village Associates, which owns Woods Edge Apartments in Rockville, Maryland,
and Gate Laurel Associates, which owns the Westgate of Laurel Apartments in
Laurel, Maryland, conveyed their interests in the partnerships to the Company
in exchange for a release from their general partner liability.

The Company owned a 55% limited partner interest in a partnership which owned
an office building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  An affiliate of the lender
owned the remaining 45% limited partner interest.  In May 1993, the lender
filed a foreclosure action against the office building.  The lender also filed
an action against the partnership and the Company to set aside, as a fraudulent
conveyance, payments from the partnership  to the Company in 1992 and in 1993
of $1.8 million made to repay the Company's mortgage note secured by a second
lien on the office building.  The Company and the lender reached an agreement
which provided that the Company pay $575,000 to the lender and convey the
Company's interest in the partnership to the lender.  In August 1994, the
Company made the required $575,000 payment, conveyed its partnership interest
to the lender and the parties executed mutual releases and all litigation
between the parties was dismissed.  The Company recognized an extraordinary
gain of $1.2 million as the carrying value of its investment in the partnership
was less than the debt secured by the office building due to previously
recognized equity losses.

In March 1994, the Company sold its 50% general partner interests in Pilgrim
Village Associates and Pilgrim Village Associates II to the co-general partner

Apartments I and II, respectively, in Canton Township, Michigan.  The Company
recognized a gain of $2.5 million on the sale.

The Company's equity share of the above net losses for 1995, 1994 and 1993 was
$1.1 million, $46,000 and $254,000, respectively, before amortization of
property acquisition costs discussed below.  The Company's share of the above
equity investee capital was $10.5 million in 1995 and $13.0 million in 1994.

The excess of the Company's investment over its respective share of the equity
in the underlying net assets of equity investees relates primarily to
unamortized property acquisition costs of $119,000 in 1995 and $715,000 in
1994.  These amounts are being amortized over the estimated useful lives of the
properties.

In 1995, the Company obtained mortgage financing totaling $10.5 million secured
by four previously unencumbered commercial properties.  The Company received
net cash of $8.7 million after the funding of various tax and insurance escrows
and the payment of various closing costs associated with the financings.  The
mortgages bear interest at rates ranging from 9% to 9.8% per annum and mature

debt secured by two apartment complexes, in the total amount of $9.4 million.
The Company received net refinancing proceeds of $3.9 million after the payoff
of $6.6 million in existing mortgage debt and the funding of various tax and
insurance escrows and the payment of various closing costs associated with the
refinancings.  The mortgages bear interest at rates of 7.9% and 8.0% per annum
and mature in December 2005.  The Company also modified and extended three
mortgage loans, combining them into one loan with a principal balance of $4.6
million, bearing interest at 9.5% with the lender forgiving $144,000 of the
mortgage principal balance.

The mortgage loan secured by the Northtown Mall in Dallas, Texas matured on

NOTE 6.   NOTES AND INTEREST PAYABLE (Continued)

refinanced the mortgage debt secured by two commercial properties and one
apartment complex, in the total amount of $14.0 million.  The Company received
net refinancing proceeds of $4.0 million after the funding of various tax and
insurance escrows and the payment of various closing costs associated with the
refinancings.  The mortgages bear interest at rates ranging from 9.25% to 12%
per annum and mature from October 1995 to May 2001.

The Company owns Institute Place Lofts, a 142,215 square foot office building
in Chicago, Illinois.  The Company did not payoff the $6.3 million mortgage
secured by the property on its June 1, 1993 maturity, as the Company determined
further investment in the property could not be justified without a substantial
modification of the mortgage.  In July 1994, the property was placed in
bankruptcy.  In January 1995, the Bankruptcy Court approved a plan of   
reorganization which provided for a reduction in the mortgage's secured
principal balance to $4.1 million, reduced the pay rate to 6% per annum in the
first year, increasing to 10.25% per annum in the fourth year, with interest
accruing at 10.25% per annum.  In February and March 1995, the Company funded
required escrows of $500,000 to satisfy outstanding property taxes and to cover
projected negative cash flow of the property.  The Company recorded no gain or
loss as a result of the debt restructuring.

As discussed in NOTE 2. "NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE", in 1995, the Company
acquired an apartment complex through foreclosure, concurrently refinancing the
property's $2.7 million mortgage for a like amount.  As discussed in NOTE 5.
"INVESTMENT IN EQUITY METHOD REAL ESTATE ENTITIES", effective January 1, 1995,
the other 50% general partners in two partnerships, each of which owns an
apartment complex, conveyed their interests in the partnerships to the Company.
The two properties were encumbered by $13.8 million in mortgage debt at the
date of acquisition.  Also as discussed in NOTE 5. "INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY
METHOD REAL ESTATE ENTITIES", in April 1995, the Company purchased the
remaining general partner interest in a partnership which owns an apartment
complex encumbered by $7.2 million in mortgage debt.

As discussed in NOTE 3.  "REAL ESTATE AND DEPRECIATION", in 1994 the Company
purchased one apartment complex, one industrial facility, and four office
buildings which were financed in part by $31.0 million of new or assumed
mortgage debt.

Mortgage notes payable at December 31, 1995 bear interest at rates ranging from
6% to 13.2% per annum, and mature between 1996 and 2024.  The mortgages are
collateralized by deeds of trust on real estate with a net carrying value of
$208.0 million.

In 1993, $72,000 of interest was capitalized.  No interest was capitalized in
1994 or 1995.

NOTE 7.   DIVIDENDS

In November 1995, based on the performance of the Company's properties, the
Company's Board of Directors approved the Company's resumption of the payment
of regular quarterly dividends.

In 1995, the Company declared and paid dividends of $.07 per share, or a total
of $267,000.  No dividends were declared or paid in 1994 and 1993.

The Company reported to the Internal Revenue Service that 100% of the dividends
paid in 1995 represented a return of capital.

NOTE 8.    RENTS UNDER OPERATING LEASES

NOTE 9.  ADVISORY AGREEMENT

Basic Capital Management, Inc. ("BCM" or the "Advisor") has served as advisor
to the Company since March 28, 1989.  BCM is a company owned by a trust for the
benefit of the children of Gene E. Phillips.  Mr. Phillips served as a Director
of the Company until December 31, 1992, as a director of BCM until December 22,
1989 and as Chief Executive Officer of BCM until September 1, 1992.  Mr.
Phillips serves as a representative of his children's trust which owns BCM and,
in such capacity, has substantial contact with the management of BCM and input
with respect to its performance of advisory services to the Company.

At the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on March 7, 1995,  the
Company's stockholders approved the renewal of the Company's Advisory Agreement
with BCM through the next annual meeting of the Company's stockholders.
Subsequent renewals of the Advisory Agreement with BCM, do not require the
approval of the Company's stockholders but do require the approval of the
Company's Board of Directors.

Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is required to formulate and submit
annually for approval by the Company's Board of Directors a budget and business
plan for the Company containing a twelve-month forecast of operations and cash
flow, a general plan for asset sales and

acquisitions, lending, foreclosure and borrowing activity and other
investments.  The Advisor is required to report quarterly to the Company's
Board of Directors on the Company's performance against the business plan.  In
addition, all transactions or investments by the Company shall require prior
approval by the Company's Board of Directors  unless they are explicitly
provided for in the approved business plan or are made pursuant to authority
expressly delegated to the Advisor by the Company's Board of Directors.  The
Advisory Agreement also requires prior approval of the Company's Board of
Directors for the retention of all consultants and third party professionals,
other than legal counsel.

The Advisory Agreement provides for BCM to be responsible for the day-to-day
operations of the Company and to receive an advisory fee comprised of a gross
asset fee of .0625% per  month (.75% per annum) of the average of the gross
asset value of the Company (total assets less allowance for amortization,
depreciation or depletion and valuation reserves) and an annual net income fee
equal to 7.5% per annum of the Company's net income.

The Advisory Agreement also provides for BCM to receive an annual incentive
sales fee.  BCM or an affiliate of BCM is to receive an acquisition commission
for supervising the acquisition, purchase or long-term lease of real estate for
the Company.  BCM or an affiliate of BCM is to receive a mortgage or loan
acquisition fee with respect to the acquisition or purchase of any existing
mortgage loan by the Company.  BCM or an affiliate of BCM is also to receive a
mortgage brokerage and equity refinancing fee for obtaining loans to the
Company or refinancing on Company properties and BCM is to receive
reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by it, in the performance of
advisory services to the Company.

The Advisory Agreement requires BCM or any affiliate of BCM to pay to the
Company one-half of any compensation received from third parties with respect
to the origination, placement or brokerage of any loan made by the Company.

Under the Advisory Agreement, all or a portion of the annual advisory fee must
be refunded by the Advisor to the Company if the Operating Expenses of the
Company (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) exceed certain limits specified
in the Advisory Agreement.  The effect of this limitation was to require that
BCM refund $246,000 of the annual advisory fee for 1995.  The operating
expenses of the Company did not exceed such limitation in 1993 and 1994.

Additionally, if the Company were to request that BCM render services to the
Company other than those required by the Advisory Agreement, BCM or an
affiliate of BCM will be separately compensated for such additional services on
terms to be agreed upon from time to time.  As discussed in NOTE 10. "PROPERTY
MANAGEMENT," the Company has hired Carmel Realty

   Carmel Realty.

NOTE 13.  INCOME TAXES

For the years 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company has elected and qualified to be
treated as a REIT, as defined in Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (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 stockholders, 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. "DIVIDENDS."

The Company had a loss for federal income tax purposes in 1995, 1994 and 1993;
therefore, the Company recorded no provision for income taxes.

The Company's tax basis in its net assets differs from the amount at which its
net assets are reported 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 joint venture partnerships.  At December 31, 1995, the Company's
tax basis in its net assets exceeded its basis for financial statement purposes
by $11.2 million.  As a result, aggregate future income for income tax purposes
will be less than such amount for financial statement purposes, and the Company
would be able to maintain its REIT status without distributing 95% of its
financial statement income.  Additionally, at December 31, 1995, the Company
had tax net operating loss carryforwards of $47.3 million expiring through the
year 2010.

As a result of the Company's election to be treated as a REIT for income tax
purposes and of its intention to distribute its taxable income, if any, in
future years, no deferred tax asset, liability or valuation allowance was
recorded.

NOTE 14.  EXTRAORDINARY GAIN

In 1995, the Company recognized extraordinary gains totaling $1.4 million on
the payoff of the mortgage debt secured by the Fountain Village Apartments and
a principal pay down and modification of the mortgage debt secured by the Dunes
Plaza Shopping Center.

In August 1994, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain of $1.2 million on
the conveyance of it's limited partner interest in a partnership owning an
office building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to the lender on a mortgage
secured by the property owned by the partnership, in settlement of all
litigation between the Company and the lender.  See "NOTE 5.  INVESTMENT IN
EQUITY METHOD REAL ESTATE ENTITIES".

In May 1993, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain of $1.1 million on
the modification of the mortgage debt secured by an apartment complex in
Tucson, Arizona.  In August 1993, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain
of $500,000 on the early payoff of the mortgage debt secured by an office
building in St. Petersburg, Florida.

NOTE 15.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Olive Litigation. In February 1990, the Company, together with CMET, IORI and
National Income Realty Trust ("NIRT"), three real estate entities with, at the
time, the same officers, directors or trustees and advisor as the Company,
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 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.  Final court approval of
the Modification was entered on December 12, 1994.  The effective date of the
Modification was January 11, 1995.

The Modification, among other things, provided for the addition of three new
unaffiliated members to the Company's Board of Directors and set forth new
requirements for the approval of any transactions with affiliates until April
28, 1999.  In addition, BCM, the Company's advisor, Gene E. Phillips and
William S. Friedman, who served as President and Director of the Company until
February 24, 1994, President of BCM until May 1, 1993 and director of BCM until
December 22, 1989, agreed to pay a total of $1.2 million to CMET, IORI, NIRT
and the Company, of which the Company's share is $150,000.  As of March 1,
1996, the Company has received payments totaling $128,000.  The remaining
$22,000 is to be paid in monthly installments through August 1, 1996.

Under the Modification, the Company, CMET, IORI and NIRT and their shareholders
released the defendants from any claims relating to the  plaintiffs'
allegations.  The Company, CMET, IORI and NIRT 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 Company held by Messrs. Phillips, Friedman or their affiliates
shall be (i) voted in  favor of the reelection of all current members of the
Company's Board of Directors that stand for reelection during the two calendar
years following the effective date of the Modification and (ii) voted in favor
of all new members of the Company's Board of Directors appointed

NOTE 15.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

pursuant to the terms of the Modification that stand for reelection during the
three calendar years following the effective date of the Modification.

Pursuant to the terms of the Modification, certain related party transactions
which the Company may enter into prior to April 28, 1999, require the unanimous
approval of the Company's Board of Directors.  In addition, such related party
transactions are to be discouraged and may only be entered into in exceptional
circumstances and after a determination by the Company's Board of Directors
that the transaction is in the best interests of the Company and that no other
opportunity exists that is as good as the opportunity presented by such
transaction.

For purposes of the Modification requirements, the term "related party
transaction" means and includes:  (i) any transaction between or among the
Company or CMET, IORI or NIRT or any of their affiliates or subsidiaries; (ii)
any transaction between or among the Company, its affiliates or subsidiaries
and the Advisor, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Friedman or any of their affiliates; and
(iii) any transaction between or among the Company or any of its affiliates or
subsidiaries and a third party with whom the Advisor, Mr. Phillips, Mr.
Friedman or any of their affiliates has an ongoing or contemplated business or
financial transaction or relationship of any kind, whether direct or indirect,
or has had such a transaction or relationship in the preceding one year.

The Modification requirements for related party transactions do not apply to
direct contractual agreements for services between the Company and the Advisor
or one of its affiliates, (including the Advisory Agreement, the Brokerage
Agreement and the property management contracts).  These agreements, pursuant
to the specific terms of the Modification, require the prior approval by
two-thirds of the Directors of the Company, and if required, approval by a
majority of the Company's stockholders.  The Modification requirements for
related party transactions also do not apply to joint ventures between or among
the Company and CMET, IORI or NIRT or any of their affiliates or subsidiaries
and a third party having no prior or intended future business or financial
relationship with Mr. Phillips, Mr. Friedman, the Advisor, or any affiliate of
such parties.  Such joint ventures may be entered into on the affirmative vote
of a majority of the Directors of the Company.

The Modification also terminated a number of the provisions under the
settlement, including the requirement that the Company, CMET, IORI and NIRT
maintain a Related Party Transaction Committee and a Litigation Committee of
their respective Boards.  The court retained jurisdiction to enforce the
Modification.

Other Litigation.  The Company is also involved in various other lawsuits
arising in the ordinary course of business.  Management of the

NOTE 15.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

Company is of the opinion that the outcome of these lawsuits will have no
material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or
liquidity.

Litigation settlement.  In June 1995, the Company received a $500,000
settlement from one of the defendants in a lawsuit brought by the Company
against the former owners of the RCA Building and their agents.  The Company
made a loan secured by the building in 1987 and filed a foreclosure action
which was subsequently amended in 1990, to include claims of negligent
misrepresentation against the borrowers, their legal counsel, architect and
engineers.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Under the securities laws of the United States, the Company's Directors,
executive officers, and any persons holding more than ten percent of the
Company's shares of Common Stock are required to report their ownership of the
Company'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 Company is required to report any failure to file
by these dates during 1995.  All of these filing requirements were satisfied by
the Company's Directors and executive officers and ten percent holders.  In
making these statements, the Company has relied on the written representations
of its incumbent Directors and executive officers and its ten percent holders
and copies of the reports that they have filed with the Commission.

The Advisor

Although the Company's Board of Directors is directly responsible for managing
the affairs of the Company and for setting the policies which guide it, the
day-to-day operations of the Company are performed by a contractual advisor
under the supervision of the Company's Board of Directors.  The duties of the
advisor include, among other things, locating, investigating, evaluating and
recommending real estate and mortgage note investment and sales opportunities
and financing and refinancing sources to the Company.  The advisor also serves
as a consultant to the Company's Board of Directors in connection with the
business plan for the Company and investment policy decisions.

BCM has served as the Company's advisor since March 1989.  BCM is a corporation
of which Messrs. Paulson, Endendyk, and Holland serve as executive officers.
BCM is a company owned by a trust for the benefit of the children of Gene E.
Phillips.  Mr. Phillips served as a director of BCM until December 22, 1989,
and  as Chief Executive Officer of BCM until September 1, 1992.  Mr. Phillips
serves as a representative of his children's trust which owns BCM and, in such
capacity, has substantial contact with the management of BCM and input with
respect to its performance of advisory services to the Company.

           REGISTRANT (Continued)

The Advisor (Continued)

At the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on March 7, 1995, the
Company's stockholders approved the renewal of the Company's advisory agreement
with BCM through the next annual meeting of the Company's stockholders.
Subsequent renewals of the Advisory Agreement with BCM do not require the
approval of the Company's stockholders but do require the approval of the
Company's Board of Directors.

Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is required to formulate and submit
annually for approval by the Company's Board of Directors a budget and business
plan for the Company containing a twelve-month forecast of operations and cash
flow, a general plan for asset sales or acquisitions, lending, foreclosure and
borrowing activity, and other investments, and the Advisor is required to
report quarterly to the Company's Board of Directors on the Company's
performance against the business plan.  In addition, all transactions or
investments by the Company shall require prior approval by the Company's Board
of Directors unless they are explicitly provided for in the approved business
plan or are made pursuant to authority expressly delegated to the Advisor by
the Company's Board of Directors.

The Advisory Agreement also requires prior approval of the Company's Board of
Directors for the retention of all consultants and third party professionals,
other than legal counsel.  The Advisory Agreement provides that the Advisor
shall be deemed to be in a fiduciary relationship to the Company's
stockholders; contains a broad standard governing the Advisor's liability for
losses by the Company; and contains guidelines for the Advisor's allocation of
investment opportunities as among itself, the Company and other entities it
advises.

The Advisory Agreement provides for BCM to be responsible for the day-to-day
operations of the Company and to receive an advisory fee comprised of a gross
asset fee of .0625% per  month (.75% per annum) of the average of the gross
asset value of the Company (total assets less allowance for amortization,
depreciation or depletion and valuation reserves) and an annual net income fee
equal to 7.5% per annum of the Company's net income.

The Advisory Agreement also provides for BCM to receive an annual incentive
sales fee equal to 10% of the amount, if any, by which the aggregate sales
consideration for all real estate sold by the Company during such fiscal year
exceeds the sum of:  (i) the cost of each such property as originally recorded
in the Company's books for tax purposes (without deduction for depreciation,
amortization or reserve for losses), (ii) capital improvements made to such
assets during the period owned by the Company, and (iii) all closing costs,
(including real estate commissions) incurred in the sale of such real estate;
provided, however, no incentive fee shall be paid unless (a) such real estate
sold in such fiscal year, in the aggregate, has produced an 8% simple annual
return on the Company's net investment including capital improvements,
calculated over the Company's holding period before depreciation and

           REGISTRANT (Continued)

inclusive of operating income and sales consideration and (b) the aggregate net
operating income from all real estate owned by the Company for each of the
prior and current fiscal years shall be at least 5% higher in the current
fiscal year than in the prior fiscal year.

Additionally, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement BCM or an affiliate of BCM is
to receive an acquisition commission for supervising the acquisition, purchase
or long-term lease of real estate for the Company equal to the lesser of (i) up
to 1% of the cost of acquisition, inclusive of commissions, if any, paid to
nonaffiliated brokers or (ii) the compensation customarily charged in
arm's-length transactions by others rendering similar property acquisition
services as an ongoing public activity in the same geographical location and
for comparable property, provided that the aggregate purchase price of each
property (including acquisition fees and real estate brokerage commissions) may
not exceed such property's appraised value at acquisition.

The Advisory Agreement requires BCM or any affiliate of BCM to pay to the
Company, one-half of any compensation received from third parties with respect
to the origination, placement or brokerage of any loan made by the Company;
provided, however, that the compensation retained by BCM or any affiliate of
BCM shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 2% of the amount of the loan committed
by the Company or (ii) a loan brokerage and commitment fee which is reasonable
and fair under the circumstances.

The Advisory Agreement also provides that BCM or an affiliate of BCM is to
receive a mortgage or loan acquisition fee with respect to the acquisition or
purchase of any existing mortgage loan by the Company equal to the lesser of
(i) 1% of the amount of the loan purchased or (ii) a brokerage or commitment
fee which is reasonable and fair under the circumstances.  Such fee will not
be paid in connection with the origination or funding by the Company of any
mortgage loan.

Under the Advisory Agreement, BCM or an affiliate of BCM is also to receive a
mortgage brokerage and equity refinancing fee for obtaining loans to the
Company or refinancing on Company properties 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 BCM or an affiliate of
BCM without the approval of the Company's Board of Directors.  No fee shall be
paid on loan extensions.

Under the Advisory Agreement, BCM is to receive reimbursement of certain
expenses incurred by it in the performance of advisory services to the Company.

Under the Advisory Agreement, all or a portion of the annual advisory fee must
be refunded by the Advisor to the Company if the Operating Expenses of the
Company (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) exceed certain limits specified
in the Advisory Agreement based on the book value, net asset value and net
income of the Company during such fiscal

year.  The effect of the limitation was to require that BCM refund $246,000 of
the annual advisory fee for 1995.  The operating expenses of the Company did
not exceed such limitation in 1993 and 1994.

Additionally, if the Company were to request that BCM render services to the
Company other than those required by the Advisory Agreement, BCM or an
affiliate of BCM will be separately compensated for such additional services on
terms to be agreed upon from time to time.  As discussed below, under "Property
Management", the Company has hired Carmel Realty Services, Ltd. ("Carmel,
Ltd."), an affiliate of BCM, to provide property management services for the
Company's properties.  Also as discussed below, under "Real Estate Brokerage"
the Company has engaged, on a non-exclusive basis, Carmel Realty, also an
affiliate of BCM, to perform brokerage services for the Company.

BCM may only assign the Advisory Agreement with the prior consent of the
Company.

ITEM 11.   EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Company has no employees, payroll or benefit plans and pays no compensation
to the executive officers of the Company.  The executive officers of the
Company who are also officers or employees of BCM, the Company's Advisor, are
compensated by the Advisor.  Such executive officers of the Company perform a
variety of services for the Advisor and the amount of their compensation is
determined solely by the Advisor.  BCM does not allocate the cash compensation
of its officers among the various entities for which it serves as advisor.  See
ITEM 10. "DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ADVISOR OF THE REGISTRANT - The
Advisor" for a more detailed discussion of the compensation payable to BCM by
the Company.

The only remuneration paid by the Company is to the Directors who are not
officers or directors of BCM or its affiliated companies.  The Independent
Directors (i) review the investment policies of the Company

(ii) review the Company's contract with the advisor, (iii) supervise the
performance of the Company's advisor and review the reasonableness of the
compensation which the Company 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 Company and (v) select, when necessary, a qualified
independent real estate appraiser to appraise properties purchased by the
Company.  Until January 1, 1995, the Company's Independent Directors received
compensation in the amount of $6,000 per year, plus reimbursement for expenses.
In addition, each Independent Director received (i) $3,000 per year for each
committee of the Board of Directors on which he served, (ii) $2,500 per year for
each committee chairmanship, and (iii) $1,000 per day for any special services
rendered by him to the Company outside of his ordinary duties as Director, plus

On June 9, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors revised the compensation to be
paid to Independent Directors effective as of January 1, 1995.  Each Independent
Director receives compensation in the amount of $15,000 per year, plus
reimbursement for expenses and the Chairman of the Board receives an additional

Director shall receive an additional fee of $1,000 per day for any special

The following performance graph compares the cumulative total stockholder
return on the Company's shares of Common Stock with the Standard & Poor's 500
Stock Index ("S&P 500 Index") and the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts, Inc.  Hybrid REIT Total Return Index ("REIT Index").  The
comparison assumes that $100 was invested on December 31, 1990 in the Company's
shares of Common Stock and in each of the indices and further assumes the
reinvestment of all dividends.  Past performance is not necessarily an

ITEM 13.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Certain Business Relationships

In February 1989, the Company's Board of Directors voted to retain BCM as the
Company's advisor.  See ITEM 10.  "DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ADVISOR TO
THE REGISTRANT - The Advisor."  BCM is a corporation of which Messrs.  Paulson,
Endendyk and Holland serve as executive officers.  Gene E. Phillips served as a
director of BCM until December 22, 1989 and as Chief Executive Officer of BCM
until September 1, 1992.  BCM is owned by a trust for the benefit of the
children of Mr. Phillips.   Mr. Phillips serves as a representative of his
children's trust which owns BCM and, in such capacity, has substantial contact
with the management of BCM and input with respect to BCM's performance of
advisory services to the Company.

Since February 1990, affiliates of BCM have provided property management
services to the Company.  Currently, Carmel, Ltd. provides such property
management services.  The general partner of Carmel, Ltd. is BCM.  The limited
partners of Carmel, Ltd. are (i) SWI, of which Mr. Phillips is the sole
shareholder, (ii) Mr. Phillips and (iii) a trust for the benefit of the
children of Mr. Phillips.  Carmel, Ltd. subcontracts the property-level
management and leasing of 24 of the Company's commercial properties and its
hotel and the commercial properties owned by a real estate partnership in which
the Company and IORI are partners to Carmel Realty, which is a company owned by
SWI.

Prior to December 1, 1992, affiliates of BCM provided brokerage services to the
Company and received brokerage commissions in accordance with the advisory
agreement.  Since December 1, 1992, the Company has engaged, on a non-
exclusive basis, Carmel Realty to perform brokerage services for the Company.
Carmel Realty is a company owned by SWI.

The Directors and officers of the Company also serve as trustees or directors
and officers of CMET and IORI.  The Directors owe fiduciary duties to such
entities as well as to the Company under applicable law.  CMET and IORI have
the same relationship with BCM as the Company.  The Company owned approximately
22% of the outstanding shares of common stock of IORI at December 31, 1995.
Gene E. Phillips is a general partner of SAMLP, the general partner of NRLP and
NOLP.  BCM performs certain administrative functions for NRLP and NOLP on a
cost-reimbursement basis.  BCM also serves as advisor to ART.  Mr. Phillips
served as Chairman of the Board and director of ART until November 16, 1992.
In addition, Messrs. Paulson, Endendyk and Holland serve as executive officers
of ART.

From April 1992 to December 31, 1992, Mr. Stokely was employed as a paid
Consultant and since January 1, 1993 as a part-time unpaid Consultant for
Eldercare, a nonprofit corporation engaged in the acquisition of low

income and elderly housing.  Eldercare has a revolving loan commitment  from
SWI, of which Mr. Phillips is the sole shareholder.  Eldercare filed for
bankruptcy protection in July 1993, and was dismissed from bankruptcy on
October 12, 1994.  Eldercare filed again for bankruptcy protection in May 1995.

Related Party Transactions

Historically, the Company has engaged in and may continue to engage in business
transactions, including real estate partnerships, with related parties.  The
Company's management believes that all of the related party transactions
represented the best investments available at the time and were at least as
advantageous to the Company as could have been obtained from unrelated third
parties.

In December 1994, NCPO Texas, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership, purchased the
North Central Plaza One Building, a 197,848 square foot office building in
Dallas, Texas for $12.4 million, consisting of $4.2 million in cash and new
mortgage financing of $8.2 million.  The Company was the sole limited partner
of the partnership with a 97.5% limited partner interest.  The general partner
of the partnership, with a 2.5% general partner interest, was Ensearch Holding
Company, a corporation controlled by an adult son of A. Bob Jordan, a Director
of the Company until March 7, 1995.  In November 1995, the Company sold its
partnership interest for $4.8 million in cash.  The Company recognized no gain
or loss on the sale of its limited partner interest.

At December 31, 1995,  the Company owned a combined 63.7% general and limited
partner interest in Tri-City Limited Partnership, a limited partnership in
which IORI is a 36.3% general partner.  The Company owns 170,750 shares of the
common stock of IORI, an approximate 22% interest.

In 1995, the Company paid BCM and its affiliates $1.8 million in advisory fees,
$104,000 in mortgage brokerage and equity refinancing fees, $56,000 in property
acquisition fees, $301,000 in real estate brokerage commissions and $2.9
million in property and construction management fees and leasing commissions,
net of property management fees paid to subcontractors, other than Carmel
Realty.  In addition, as provided in the Advisory Agreement, BCM received cost
reimbursements from the Company of $877,000 in 1995.

Restrictions on Related Party Transactions

Article FOURTEENTH of the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides that the
Company shall not, directly or indirectly, contract or engage in any
transaction with (i) any director, officer or employee of the Company, (ii) any
director, officer or employee of the advisor, (iii) the advisor or (iv) any
affiliate or associate (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of any of the aforementioned
persons, unless (a) the material facts as to the relationship among or
financial interest of the relevant individuals or persons and as to the
contract or transaction are

disclosed to or are known by the Board of Directors or the appropriate
committee thereof and (b) the Board of Directors or committee thereof
determines that such contract or transaction is fair to the Company and
simultaneously authorizes or ratifies such contract or transaction by the
affirmative vote of a majority of independent directors of the Company entitled
to vote thereon.

Article FOURTEENTH defines an "Independent Director" as one who is neither an
officer or employee of the Company nor a director, officer or employee of the
Company's advisor.

Pursuant to the terms of the Modification of Stipulation of Settlement (the
"Modification") in the Olive Litigation, as more fully discussed in ITEM 3.
"LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - Olive Litigation," which became effective on January 11,
1995, certain related party transactions which the Company may enter into
prior to April 28, 1999, require the unanimous approval of the Company's Board
of Directors.  In addition, such related party transactions are to be
discouraged and may only be entered into in exceptional circumstances and after
a determination by the Company's Board of Directors that the transaction is in
the best interests of the Company and that no other opportunity exists that is
as good as the opportunity presented by such transaction.

The Modification requirements for related party transactions do not apply to
direct contractual agreements for services between the Company and the Advisor
or one of its affiliates (including the Advisory Agreement, the Brokerage
Agreement and the property management contracts).  These agreements, pursuant
to the specific terms of the Modification, require the prior approval by
two-thirds of the Directors of the Company, and if required, approval by a
majority of the Company's stockholders.  The Modification requirements for
related party transactions also do not apply to joint ventures between or among
the Company and CMET, IORI or NIRT or any of their affiliates or subsidiaries
and a third party having no prior or intended future business or financial
relationship with Mr. Phillips, William S. Friedman, the Advisor, or any
affiliate of such parties.  Such joint ventures may be entered into on the
affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors of the Company.

<PAGE>   5
prevent the Broker or any of its officers, directors, or employees or any of
its affiliates from engaging in other business activities related to real
estate investments or from acting as broker to any other person or entity
(including another real estate investment trust), even though having investment
policies similar to the Company, and the Broker and its officers, directors, or
employees. The Broker shall have a duty to present to the Company any
investment opportunity that comes to the Broker or any of its affiliates if
such opportunity is within the Company's investment policies.

      12.  TERM; TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall continue in
force for a period of twelve months, and thereafter it may be renewed from year
to year, subject to the approval of a majority of the Directors of the Company
who are not affiliated with the Broker. Notice of renewal shall be given in
writing by the Directors to the Broker not less than 60 days before the
expiration of this Agreement or of any extension thereof. Notwithstanding any
other provision to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated for any
reason without penalty upon written notice by the Company to the Broker or
written notice by the Broker to the Company, in the former case by the vote of
a majority of the Directors who are not affiliates of the Broker.

      13.  AMENDMENTS. This Agreement shall not be changed, modified,
terminated or discharged in whole or in part except by an instrument in writing
signed by both parties hereto, or their respective successors or assigns, or
otherwise as provided herein.

      14.  ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Broker
without the prior consent of the Company.  The Company may terminate this
Agreement in the event of its assignment by the Broker without the prior
consent of the Company.  Such an assignment or any other assignment of this
Agreement shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Broker is
bound hereunder. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Company without
the consent of the Broker, except in the case of assignment by the Company to a
corporation, association, trust, or other organization that is a successor to
the Company. Such successor shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said
assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound hereunder.

      15.  DEFAULT, BANKRUPTCY, ETC.  At the option solely of the Directors,
this Agreement shall be and become terminated immediately upon written notice
of termination from the Directors to the Broker if any of the following events
shall occur:

                   (a) If the Broker shall violate any provision of this
Agreement, and after notice of such violation shall not cure such default
within 30 days; or

                   (b) If the Broker shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent by
a court of competent jurisdiction, or an order shall be made by a court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, or
trustee of the Broker or of all or substantially all of its property by reason
of the foregoing, or approving any petition filed against the Broker for its
reorganization, and such adjudication or order shall remain in





                                       95
<PAGE>   7
force or unstayed for a period of 30 days; or

                   (c) If the Broker shall institute proceedings for voluntary
bankruptcy or shall file a petition seeking reorganization under the Federal
bankruptcy laws, or for relief under any law for the relief of debtors, or
shall consent to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of all or
substantially all its property, or shall make a general assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally, as they become due.

     The Broker agrees that if any of the events specified in subsections (b)
and (c) of this Section shall occur, it will give written notice thereof to the
Directors within seven days after the occurrence of such event.

     16.  ACTION UPON TERMINATION. From and after the effective date of
termination of this Agreement, pursuant to Sections 12, 14 or 15 hereof, the
Broker shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder but
shall be paid all compensation earned to the date of termination.

     17.  MISCELLANEOUS. The Broker assumes no responsibility under this
Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder in good faith,
and shall not be responsible for any action of the Company in following or
declining to follow any advice or recommendations of the Broker. Neither the
Broker nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers, or employees shall be
liable to the Company, the Directors, the holders of securities of the Company
or to any successor or assign of the Company except by





                                       96
<PAGE>   8
reason of acts constituting bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence,
or reckless disregard of their duties.

     18.  NOTICES. Any notice, report, or other communication required or
