ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
---------------------------------------------
On November 14, 2000, Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. ("TCI") purchased
the Brandeis Building ("Brandeis"), a 319,234 sq.ft. office building in Omaha,
Nebraska, for $12.5 million, approximately 1.8% of TCI's assets at December 31,
1999. The sellers of the property were Brandeis Building Investors, L.L.C.
In addition to the Brandeis purchase discussed above, TCI has purchased five
apartments, two in Lawrence, Kansas, in the first quarter and one in Midland,
Texas, one in Amarillo, Texas and one in Bakersfield, California. TCI also
purchased two office buildings in the second quarter, one in Los Angeles,
California, one in Tampa, Florida and an office/retail complex in Sterling,
Virginia. TCI also purchased four parcels of land in the first quarter, two in
Collin County, Texas, one in Austin, Texas and one in Farmers Branch, Texas, one
in the second quarter in Austin, Texas and one in the fourth quarter in Dallas,
Texas. These properties were purchased for a total of $90.0 million and
represent approximately 12.4% of TCI's assets at December 31, 1999. TCI paid a
total of $25.4 million in cash and financed the remainder of the purchase
prices. The mortgages secured by the properties bear interest at variable rates
ranging from 7.44% to 14.0% per annum and mature in December 2000 to August
2009.
In 2000, TCI has also sold five apartments, two in the first quarter, two in the
second quarter and one in the fourth quarter and an hotel in the second quarter.
In connection with these sales, TCI received net cash totaling $10.9 million.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
------------------------------------------
The sellers have informed TCI that audited financial statements and supporting
data relating to their respective property's operations are not available. It
is, therefore, impracticable to provide the required audited statement of
operations for the properties acquired or pro forma financial information. The
required information will be filed by amendment of this Form 8-K as soon as
practicable, but not later than January 14, 2001.
