PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
American Realty Trust, Inc. ("ART"), a Georgia corporation, is the
successor to a District of Columbia business trust organized pursuant to a
declaration of trust dated July 14, 1961.
Proposed Transaction with American Realty Investors, Inc.
On November 3, 1999, ART and National Realty, L.P. ("NRLP") jointly
announced the agreement of their respective Boards to combine, in a tax free
exchange, the two entities under the ownership of a new company to be named
American Realty Investors, Inc. ("ARI"). Under the proposal, ARI will
distribute shares of its common stock to ART stockholders and NRLP
unitholders. NRLP unitholders, except for ART, will receive one share of ARI
common stock for each NRLP unit held. ART stockholders will receive .91 shares
of ARI common stock for each share of ART Common Stock held. ART Preferred
Stock will convert into one share of preferred stock of ARI, having
substantially the same rights as ART's Preferred Stock. The share exchange and
merger were subject to a vote of stockholders/unitholders of both entities.
Approval required the vote of the unitholders holding a majority of NRLP's
outstanding units, and the vote of stockholders holding a majority of ART's
outstanding shares of Common and Preferred Stock. As of March 3, 2000, ART
owned approximately 55.4% of the outstanding units of NRLP and BCM owned
approximately 12.4% of the outstanding units of NRLP and 56.9% of the
outstanding shares of ART's Common Stock. At special meetings held on March
21, 2000, the ART stockholders and NRLP unitholders approved the merger
proposal. The merger is expected to be completed early in the second quarter
of 2000. For accounting purposes, the merger will be treated as a purchase by
ART of NRLP.
Business Plan and Investment Policy
ART's primary business is investing in equity interests in real estate
(including equity securities of real estate-related entities), leases, joint
venture development projects and partnerships and to a lesser extent financing
real estate and real estate activities through investments in mortgage loans,
including first, wraparound and junior mortgage loans. Information regarding
the real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios of ART is set forth
in ITEM 2. "PROPERTIES" and in Schedules III and IV to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included at ITEM 8. "CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA."
Effective December 18, 1998, NRLP Management Corp. ("NMC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ART, was elected general partner of NRLP and National Operating,
L.P. ("NOLP"). NRLP is a publicly traded master limited partnership which was
formed under the Delaware Uniform Limited Partnership Act on January 29, 1987.
It commenced operations on September 18, 1987 when, through NOLP, it acquired
all of the assets, and assumed all of the liabilities, of 35 public and
private limited partnerships. NRLP is the sole limited partner of NOLP and
owns 99% of the beneficial interest in NOLP. NRLP and NOLP operate as an
economic unit and, unless the context otherwise requires, all references
herein to NRLP shall constitute references to NRLP and NOLP as a unit. In
November 1992, NOLP refinanced 52 of the apartments in its real estate
portfolio and the underlying debt of a wraparound mortgage note receivable
with a financial institution. To facilitate such refinancing, NOLP transferred
these assets to Garden Capital, L.P. ("GCLP"), a Delaware limited partnership.
NOLP is the sole limited partner in GCLP. GCLP is the sole limited partner in
the single asset limited partnerships which were formed for the purpose of
acquiring, operating and holding title to the apartments and wraparound
mortgage note transferred by NOLP. The general partner and owner of a .7%
beneficial interest in GCLP and a 1% beneficial interest in the GCLP single
asset operating partnerships, is Garden National Realty, Inc. ("GNRI"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of ART.
Until December 18, 1998, the general partner and owner of 1% of the
beneficial interest in each of NRLP and NOLP was Syntek Asset Management, L.P.
("SAMLP"), a Delaware limited partnership, of which ART is a 96% limited
partner. With its election as general partner, NMC succeeded to SAMLP's 1%
beneficial interest
3
<PAGE>
in each of NRLP and NOLP. NMC also assumed liability for SAMLP's note for its
capital contribution to NRLP. In addition, NMC assumed liability for a note
which requires the repayment of the $12.2 million paid by NRLP under a
litigation settlement relating to the original formation of NRLP. This note
requires repayment over a ten-year period, bears interest at a variable rate,
currently 8.0% per annum, and is guaranteed by ART.
At December 31, 1999, in addition to its general partner interest, ART
owned approximately 55.4% of the outstanding NRLP limited partner units. Prior
to December 31, 1998, ART accounted for its investment in NRLP under the
equity method, as of December 31, 1998, upon the election of NMC as general
partner of NRLP, ART began consolidation of NRLP's accounts at that date and
has consolidated its operations subsequent to that date. NMC, has discretion
in determining methods of obtaining funds for NRLP's operations, and the
acquisition and disposition of its assets.
ART, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Pizza World Supreme, Inc.
("PWSI"), operates and franchises pizza parlors featuring pizza delivery,
carry-out and dine-in under the trademark "Me-N-Ed's" in California and Texas.
The first Me-N-Ed's pizza parlor opened in 1962. At December 31, 1999, there
were 56 Me-N-Ed's pizza parlors in operation, consisting of 50 owned and six
franchised pizza parlors, six of the owned pizza parlors were in Texas and the
remainder were in California.
ART's businesses are not seasonal. With regard to real estate investments,
ART is seeking both current income and capital appreciation. ART's plan of
operation is to continue, to the extent its liquidity permits, to make equity
investments in income producing real estate such as apartments and commercial
properties or equity securities of real estate-related entities. ART also
intends to continue to pursue higher risk, higher reward investments, such as
improved and unimproved land where it can obtain financing of substantially
all of a property's purchase price. ART intends to seek selected dispositions
of certain of its assets, in particular certain of its land holdings, where
the prices obtainable for such assets justify their disposition. ART has
determined that it will no longer actively seek to fund or purchase mortgage
loans. However, it may, in selected instances, originate mortgage loans or it
may provide purchase money financing in conjunction with a property sale.
However, in 1999, NRLP increased its lending activity, funding $106.5 million
in loans in 1999, including $73.4 million of its $125.0 million loan
commitment to ART. See ITEM 2. "PROPERTIES" and Schedules III and IV to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in ITEM 8. "CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA."
ART's Board of Directors has broad authority under ART's governing
documents to make all types of investments, and may devote available assets to
particular investments or types of investments, without restriction on the
amount or percentage of assets that may be allocated to a single investment or
to any particular type of investment, and without limit on the percentage of
securities of any one issuer that may be acquired. Investment objectives and
policies may be changed at any time by the Board without stockholder approval.
The specific composition of ART's real estate portfolio will depend largely
on the judgment of management as to changing investment opportunities and the
level of risk associated with specific investments or types of investments.
Management intends to attempt to maintain a real estate portfolio diversified
by location and type of property.
In addition to its equity investments in real estate, ART has also invested
in private and open market purchases of the equity securities of Income
Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IORI"), and Transcontinental Realty
Investors, Inc. ("TCI") and units of limited partner interest in NRLP. See
ITEM 2. "PROPERTIES--Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts and Real
Estate Partnerships."
Management of the Company
Although the Board of Directors is directly responsible for managing the
affairs of ART and for setting the policies which guide it, the day-to-day
operations of ART are performed by Basic Capital Management, Inc. ("BCM"), a
contractual advisor under the supervision of the Board. The duties of BCM
include, among other
4
<PAGE>
things, locating, investigating, evaluating and recommending real estate and
mortgage note investment and sales opportunities, as well as financing and
refinancing sources. BCM also serves as a consultant in connection with ART's
business plan and investment policy decisions made by its Board. BCM is a
company owned by a trust for the benefit of the children of Gene E. Phillips.
Mr. Phillips serves as a representative of the trust for the benefit of his
children that 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. As of March 3, 2000, BCM owned 6,008,867 shares of ART's Common
Stock, approximately 56.9% of the shares then outstanding. 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 ART
since February 6, 1989. BCM also serves as advisor to IORI and TCI. The
officers of ART, are also officers of IORI, TCI, BCM and NMC, the general
partner of NRLP and NOLP. Karl L. Blaha, President and a Director of ART,
serves as President and a Director of NMC and also serves as President of
IORI, TCI and BCM. Collene C. Currie, a Director of ART also serves as a
Director of NMC. BCM performs certain administrative functions for NRLP and
NOLP on a cost reimbursement basis.
Since February 1, 1990, affiliates of BCM have provided property management
services to ART. Currently, Triad Realty Services, Ltd. ("Triad") provides
such property management services. Triad subcontracts with other entities for
the property-level management services to ART. The general partner of Triad is
BCM. The limited partners of Triad are Syntek West, Inc. ("Syntek West"), a
company owned by Gene E. Phillips, and Mr. Phillips. Triad subcontracts the
property-level management and leasing of 19 of ART's commercial properties
(shopping centers, office buildings and a merchandise mart) and its eight
hotels to Regis Realty, Inc. ("Regis"), which is a company owned by Syntek
West. Regis is entitled to receive property and construction management fees
and leasing commissions in accordance with the terms of its property-level
management agreement with Triad. See ITEM 10. "DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
AND ADVISOR TO THE REGISTRANT--The Advisor."
Affiliates of BCM are also entitled to receive real estate brokerage
commissions in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement as
discussed in ITEM 10. "DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ADVISOR OF THE
REGISTRANT--The Advisor."
ART has no employees itself, but PWSI has 916 employees and a majority-
owned development subsidiary has 5 employees. Employees of BCM render services
to ART.
Competition
Real Estate. The real estate business is highly competitive and ART
competes with numerous entities engaged in real estate activities (including
certain entities described in ITEM 13. "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS--Related Party Transactions"), some of which have greater
financial resources than ART. Management believes that success against such
competition is dependent upon the geographic location of the property, the
performance of property-level managers in areas such as marketing, collections
and control of 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. With respect to hotels,
competition is also based upon market served, i.e., transient, commercial or
group users. Management believes that beyond general economic circumstances
and trends, the rate at which properties are renovated or the rate new
properties are developed in the vicinity of each of ART's properties, in
particular its improved and unimproved land, are also competitive factors.
To the extent that ART seeks to sell any of its properties, the sales
prices for the properties may be affected by competition from other real
estate entities and financial institutions, also attempting to sell properties
in areas where ART's properties are located, as well as aggressive buyers
attempting to dominate or penetrate a particular market.
5
<PAGE>
As described above and in ITEM 13. "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS--Related Party Transactions," the officers of ART also serve as
officers of certain other entities, each of which is also advised by BCM, and
each of which has business objectives similar to ART's. ART's officers and
advisor owe fiduciary duties to these other entities as well as to ART under
applicable law. In determining to which entity a particular investment
opportunity will be allocated, the officers and advisor consider the
respective investment objectives of each entity and the appropriateness of a
particular investment in light of each entity's existing real estate and
mortgage notes receivable portfolios. To the extent that any particular
investment opportunity is appropriate to more than one of the entities, the
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 the entities.
In addition, also as described in ITEM 13. "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND
RELATED TRANSACTIONS," ART also competes with other entities which are
affiliates of BCM and which have investment objectives similar to ART's and
that may compete with ART in purchasing, selling, leasing and financing real
estate and real estate-related investments. In resolving any potential
conflicts of interest which may arise, BCM has informed ART 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.
ART 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
availability of permanent mortgage financing which may render the purchase,
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, earth
quakes, hurricanes and other acts of God and other factors beyond the control
of management or BCM. The illiquidity of real estate investments may also
impair the ability of management to respond promptly to changing
circumstances. Management believes that such risks are partially mitigated by
the diversification by geographic region and property type of ART's real
estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios. However, to the extent new
property investments, in particular improved and unimproved land, and mortgage
lending are concentrated in any particular region the advantages of geographic
diversification are mitigated.
Virtually all of ART's real estate, equity security holdings in IORI, TCI
and NRLP and its trading portfolio of equity securities are held subject to
secured indebtedness. Such borrowings increase the risk of loss because they
represent a prior claim on ART's assets and require fixed payments regardless
of profitability. In the event of default, the lender may foreclose on ART's
assets securing such indebtedness, and ART could lose its investment in the
pledged assets.
Pizza Parlors. The pizza parlor business is highly competitive and is
affected by changes in consumer tastes and eating habits, as well as national,
regional and local economic conditions, and demographic trends. The
performance of an individual pizza parlor can be affected by changes in
traffic patterns, demographics, and the type, number and location of competing
restaurants.
The quick-service restaurant industry is extremely competitive with respect
to price, service, location and food quality. PWSI and its franchisees compete
with a variety of other restaurants in the quick-service restaurant industry,
including those that offer dine-in, carry-out and delivery services. These
competitors include national and regional chains, franchisees of other
restaurant chains and local owner-operated restaurants. Some of these
competitors have been in existence longer and have an established market
presence in certain geographic regions, and some have substantially greater
financial, marketing and other resources than PWSI and its franchisees. PWSI
competes for qualified franchisees with many other restaurant concepts,
including national and regional restaurant chains.
PWSI's success is largely dependent upon the efforts of its management and
other key personnel. The loss of the service of one or more members of
management could have an adverse effect on PWSI's operations.
6
<PAGE>
Significant transitions in management involve important risks, including
potential loss of key personnel, difficulties in implementing changes to
operational strategies and maintaining relationships with franchisees.
At December 31, 1999, PWSI owned and operated 50 and franchised six pizza
parlors. The results achieved by PWSI's relatively small pizza parlor base may
not be indicative of the results of a larger number of pizza parlors in a more
geographically dispersed area. Because of PWSI's relatively small pizza parlor
base, an unsuccessful pizza parlor has a more significant effect on PWSI's
results of operations than would be the case in a company owning more pizza
parlors.
PWSI's existing pizza parlors, both owned and franchised, are located in
California or Texas. At December 31, 1999, there were 50 pizza parlors in
California and six in Texas. Accordingly, PWSI's results of operations may be
affected by economic or other conditions in those regions. Also, given PWSI's
present geographic concentration, publicity relating to PWSI's pizza parlors
could have a more pronounced effect on PWSI's overall sales than might be the
case if PWSI's pizza parlors were more broadly dispersed.
All of PWSI's owned pizza parlors are operated on premises leased from
third parties. Most of the pizza parlor leases provide for a minimum annual
rent and additional rental payments if sales volumes exceed specified amounts.
There can be no assurance that PWSI will be able to renew leases upon
expiration or that the lease terms upon renewal will be as favorable as the
current lease terms. In 2000, PWSI plans to expand its franchised stores and
to construct and open seven new company-owned stores.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
ART's principal offices are located at 10670 North Central Expressway,
Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75231 and are in the opinion of management, suitable
and adequate for ART's present operations.
Details of ART's real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios at
December 31, 1999, are set forth in Schedules III and IV, respectively, to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included at ITEM 8. "CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA." The discussions set forth below under the
headings "Real Estate" and "Mortgage Loans" provide certain summary
information concerning ART's real estate and mortgage notes receivable
portfolios.
At December 31, 1999, no single asset accounted for 10% or more of ART's
total assets. At December 31, 1999, 84% of ART's assets consisted of real
estate, 4% consisted of notes and interest receivable, 5% consisted of
investments in the equity investees, including IORI and TCI, and 2% consisted
of pizza parlor equipment and related goodwill. The remaining 5% of ART's
assets were invested in cash, cash equivalents, marketable equity securities
and other assets. The percentage of ART's assets invested in any one category
is subject to change and no assurance can be given that the composition of
ART's assets in the future will approximate the percentages listed above.
ART's real estate is geographically diverse. At December 31, 1999, ART's
real estate was located in all geographic regions of the continental United
States, other than the Northeast region, as shown more specifically in the
table under "Real Estate" below. ART also holds mortgage notes receivable
secured by real estate located in the Southeast, Southwest, Northeast and
Midwest regions of the continental United States, as shown more specifically
in the table under "Mortgage Loans" below.
7
<PAGE>
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. ART has no properties in this
region.
Southeast region comprised of the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. ART has
39 apartments, 4 commercial properties and 2 hotels in this region.
Southwest region comprised of the states of Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. ART has 17 apartments and 8 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. ART has 15 apartments, 2 commercial
properties and 1 hotel in this region.
Mountain region comprised of the states of Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada,
Utah and Wyoming. ART has 2 apartments, 3 commercial properties and 1 hotel in
this region.
Pacific region comprised of the states of Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon
and Washington. ART has 3 apartments, 3 commercial properties and 4 hotels in
this region.
- --------
* Includes one commercial property in Alaska.
Excluded from above are 67 parcels of improved and unimproved land and a
single family residence, as described below.
Real Estate
At December 31, 1999, 89% of ART's assets were invested in real estate and
the equity securities of real estate entities. ART has invested in real estate
located throughout the continental United States, either on a leveraged or
nonleveraged basis. ART's real estate portfolio consists of properties held
for investment, investments in partnerships, properties held for sale and
investments in equity securities of IORI and TCI.
Types of Real Estate Investments. ART's real estate consists of apartments,
commercial properties (office buildings, shopping centers and a merchandise
mart), hotels and improved and unimproved land. In selecting real estate for
investment, the location, age and type of property, gross rents, lease terms,
financial and business standing of tenants, operating expenses, fixed charges,
land values and physical condition are among the factors considered.
Properties may be purchased subject to, or existing debt may be assumed and
properties may be mortgaged, pledged or otherwise collateralized to obtain
financing. The 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 ART has typically invested in developed real estate, it may also
invest in new construction or development either directly or in partnership
with nonaffiliated parties or affiliates (subject to approval by the Board of
Directors). To the extent that it invests in construction and development
projects, such as Two Hickory Center described below, ART will be subject to
business risks, such as cost overruns and construction delays, associated with
such higher risk projects.
8
<PAGE>
In 1999, ART completed construction of Two Hickory Center, a 102,607 sq.
ft. office building in Farmers Branch, Texas and NRLP completed construction
of the Centura Office Building, a 410,901 sq. ft. office building also in
Farmers Branch, Texas. Also at December 31, 1999, NRLP had under construction
Lake Shore Villas, a 312 unit apartment in Harris County, Texas.
In the opinion of management, the properties owned by ART are adequately
covered by insurance.
The following table sets forth the percentages, by property type and
geographic region, of owned real estate (excluding 67 parcels of improved and
unimproved land, and a single family residence, described below) at December
31, 1999.

used the net cash received and an additional $420,000 to paydown by $700,000
the mortgage debt secured by such land parcels, funding require escrows in the
amount of $900,000 and the payment of various closing costs, including a real
estate brokerage commission of $216,000 to Regis. ART provided $5.4 million in
purchase money financing. The financing bears interest at 8.5% per annum, with
principal and interest due at maturity in March 2000. A gain of $1.4 million
was recognized on the sale.
Also in December 1999, NRLP purchased the Woolley land, a .4179 acre parcel
of unimproved land in Farmers Branch, Texas, for $205,000 in cash. A real
estate brokerage commission of $6,000 was paid to Regis. The land is adjacent
to the Centura Office Building.
Further in December 1999, as discussed in "Mortgage Loans" below, NRLP
obtained the Willow Springs land, a 1,485 acre parcel of unimproved land in
Riverside County, California, by accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure of
the mortgage note receivable secured by the property. No loss was incurred as
the fair market value of the property, less estimated costs of sale, exceeded
the carrying value of the mortgage note.
In December 1999, ART sold a 205.4 acre tract of its Yorktown land parcel
for $2.7 million. ART received no net cash after paying down by $2.5 million
the mortgage debt secured by such land parcel and the payment of various
closing costs, including a real estate brokerage commission of $80,000 to
Regis. A gain of $561,000 was recognized on the sale.
In January 2000, ART sold a 1.1 acre tract of its Mason/Goodrich land
parcel for $129,000. ART received no net cash after paying down by $116,000
the mortgage debt secured by such land parcel and the payment of various
closing costs, including a real estate brokerage commission of $4,000 to
Regis. A gain will be recognized on the sale.
Also in January 2000, ART sold a 2.6 acre tract of its Nashville land
parcel for $405,000. ART received no net cash after paying down by $345,000
the mortgage debt secured by such land parcel and the payment of various
closing costs, including a real estate brokerage commission of $12,000 to
Regis. A gain will be recognized on the sale.
Further in January 2000, ART sold its 420 acre Duchense Bad Lands land
parcel for $43,000. ART received net cash of $42,000 after the payment of
various closing costs, including a real estate brokerage commission of $1,000
to Regis. A gain will be recognized on the sale.
Mortgage Loans
In addition to real estate, a substantial portion of ART's assets have been
and are expected to continue to be invested in mortgage notes receivable,
secured by income-producing real estate, unimproved land and partnership
interests. Management expects that the percentage of ART's assets invested in
mortgage loans will decline as it has determined that ART will no longer seek
to fund or acquire new mortgage loans. However, it may, in selected instances,
originate mortgage loans or it may provide purchase money financing in
conjunction with a property sale. Management intends to service and hold for
investment the mortgage notes currently in the portfolio. Mortgage notes
receivable consist of first, wraparound and junior mortgage loans.

Types of Mortgage Activity. In addition to originating its own mortgage
loans, ART has acquired existing mortgage loans either directly from builders,
developers or property owners, or through mortgage banking firms, commercial
banks or other qualified brokers. BCM, in its capacity as a mortgage servicer,
services ART's mortgage notes receivable.
Types of Properties Subject to Mortgages. The types of properties securing
mortgage notes receivable at December 31, 1999, consisted of apartments, an
office building, unimproved land and partnership interests. The type of
properties subject to mortgages in which ART invests may be altered without a
vote of stockholders.
As of December 31, 1999, the obligors on $13.3 million or 32.5% of the
mortgage notes receivable portfolio were affiliates of ART. Also at that date,
$2.9 million or 7.1% of the mortgage notes receivable portfolio was
nonperforming.
The following table sets forth the percentages (based on the outstanding
mortgage loan balance at December 31, 1999), by geographic region, of the
commercial properties that serve as collateral for ART's mortgage notes
receivable. Excluded are $24.8 million of mortgage notes secured by unimproved
land and other security. See Schedule IV to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in ITEM 8. "CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
SUPPLEMENTARY DATA" for additional details of ART's mortgage notes receivable
portfolio.

During 1999, $5.7 million in interest was collected and $40.0 million in
principal was collected on mortgage notes receivable.
First Mortgage Loans. These 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 or
negative amortization of principal or all interest and a "balloon" principal
payment at maturity. With respect to first mortgage loans, it is ART's general
policy to require that the borrower provide a title policy or an acceptable
legal opinion of title as to the validity and the priority of ART's mortgage
lien over all other obligations, except liens arising from unpaid property
taxes and other exceptions normally allowed by first mortgage lenders.
The following discussion briefly describes first mortgage loans funded in
1999, as well as events that affected previously funded first mortgage loans
during 1999.
In May 1999, a mortgage note receivable with a principal balance of $1.5
million was collected in full by NRLP. The cash received was applied to
paydown a NRLP loan partially secured by the note.
In December 1999, NRLP obtained financing in the amount of $5.0 million
secured by five notes receivable with an aggregate principal balance of $9.6
million. NRLP received net cash of $4.9 million after the payment
22
<PAGE>
of various closing costs, including a mortgage brokerage and equity
refinancing fee of $50,000 to BCM. The financing bears interest at 14.0% per
annum, requires monthly payments of interest only and matures in December
2000.
During 1998 and 1999, NRLP funded a total of $31.0 million of a $52.5
million loan commitment to Centura. The loan was secured by 2.244 acres of
land and an office building under construction in Farmers Branch, Texas. In
August 1999, as discussed in "Real Estate," NRLP exercised its option
contained in the loan agreement and obtained a combined 80.0% general and
limited partnership interest in Centura in exchange for a $24.1 million
capital contribution through conversion of a portion of its note receivable to
an equity interest. The $8.3 million balance of the note continued as a loan
to Centura. Centura is consolidated for financial statement purposes and the
loan balance is eliminated in consolidation.
During 1998 and 1999, NRLP funded $2.1 million of a $2.2 million loan
commitment to Varner Road Partners, L.L.C. The loan was secured by a 129.77
acre parcel of unimproved land in Riverside County, California and a pledge of
the membership interests of the borrower. The loan matured in November 1999.
Principal and accrued interest were not paid at maturity and the borrower
deeded the property to NRLP in lieu of foreclosure. No loss was incurred, as
the fair market value of the property, less estimated costs of sale, exceeded
the carrying value of the note.
During the first and second quarters of 1998, NRLP funded a $356,000 loan
to Ellis Development Company, Inc. The loan is secured by a 4.5 acre parcel of
land in Abilene, Texas. The loan bears interest at 14.0% per annum and had an
original maturity of April 1999. All principal and interest were due at
maturity. In August 1998, the loan was modified and extended, increasing the
loan commitment to $946,000, of which $942,000 has been funded and the
maturity date was extended to August 1999. In exchange for the modification
and extension the borrower pledged additional collateral consisting of the
personal guarantees of the principal owners of the borrower and a collateral
assignment of a $220,000 note receivable. In August 1999, the note was further
extended to August 2000. All other terms of the loan remained unchanged.
In June 1998, NRLP funded a $2.4 million loan to Cuchara Partners, Ltd. and
Ski Rio Partners, Ltd., affiliates of JNC Enterprises, Inc. ("JNC"). The loan
is secured by (1) a first lien on approximately 450 acres of land in Huerfano
County, Colorado, known as Cuchara Valley Mountain Ski Resort; (2) assignment
of a $2.0 million promissory note which is secured by approximately 2,623
acres of land in Taos County, New Mexico, known as Ski Rio Resort; and (3) a
pledge of all related partnership interests. The loan bears interest at 16.0%
per annum and has an extended maturity date of March 2000. All principal and
interest are due at maturity. In July 1998, NRLP funded an additional $1.8
million, increasing the loan balance to $4.2 million. In the fourth quarter of
1998, $109,000 was received on the sale of 11 parcels of the collateral
property in Taos, New Mexico. In August 1999, a paydown of $2.3 million was
received. In September 1999, a paydown of $1.0 million was received. The loan
had a principal balance of $1.6 million at December 31, 1999, and is cross-
collateralized with the other JNC loans funded by NRLP.
Also in June 1998, NRLP funded a $365,000 loan to RB Land & Cattle, L.L.C.
The loan was secured by 7,200 acres of unimproved land near Crowell, Texas and
the personal guarantee of the owner and manager of the borrower. The loan
matured in December 1998. All principal and interest were due at maturity. The
loan, including accrued but unpaid interest, was collected in full in January
2000.
In March 1998, NRLP ceased receiving the required payments on a $3.0
million note receivable secured by an office building in Dallas, Texas. In
October 1998, NRLP began foreclosure proceedings. In March 1999, payment in
full was received, including accrued but unpaid interest.
In 1997 and 1998, NRLP funded a $3.8 million loan to Stratford & Graham
Developers, L.L.C. The loan was secured by 1,485 acres of unimproved land in
Riverside County, California. In 1999, an additional $305,000 was funded,
increasing the loan balance to $4.1 million. The loan matured in June 1999.
The loan was not paid at maturity. The borrower deeded the collateral property
to NRLP in December 1999 in lieu of foreclosure. No
23
<PAGE>
loss was incurred, as the fair market value of the property, less estimated
costs of sale, exceeded the carrying value of the note.
Wraparound Mortgage Loans. A wraparound mortgage loan, sometimes called an
all-inclusive loan, is a mortgage loan having an original principal amount
equal to the outstanding balance under the prior existing mortgage loan plus
the amount actually advanced under the wraparound mortgage loan. Wraparound
mortgage loans may provide for full, partial or no amortization of principal.
ART's policy is to make wraparound mortgage loans in amounts and on properties
on which it would otherwise make a first mortgage loan.
The following discussion briefly describes events that affected previously
funded wraparound mortgage loans during 1999.
At December 31, 1998, NRLP's one wraparound mortgage note receivable with a
principal balance of $5.4 million and a net carrying value of $489,000 was in
default. NRLP had been vigorously pursuing its rights regarding the loan to no
avail. In December 1999, NRLP sold the note to BCM at its carrying value,
retaining the right to receive any amounts collected by BCM in excess of the
amount BCM paid for the note.
Junior Mortgage Loans. Junior mortgage loans are loans 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 the loans ordinarily includes
the real estate which secures the loan, other collateral and personal
guarantees of the borrower.
The following discussion briefly describes junior mortgage loans funded in
1999, as well as events that affected previously funded junior mortgage loans
during 1999.
In January 1999, NRLP collected in full a mortgage note receivable with a
principal balance of $350,000.
In August 1999, NRLP funded a $2.6 million loan to JNC. The loan was
subsequently split into two pieces. The loans are secured by second liens on a
3.5 acre and a 1.2561 acre parcel of land in Dallas, Texas, the guarantee of
the borrower and the personal guarantees of its shareholders. The loans bears
interest at 16.0% per annum and matured in February 2000. All principal and
interest were due at maturity. JNC used $2.3 million of the loan proceeds to
paydown the Cuchara $4.2 million note receivable. In March 2000, the $2.0
million loan secured by the 3.5 acre land parcel was collected in full,
including accrued but unpaid interest. Negotiations are in process to extend
the remaining loan, which is cross-collateralized with the other JNC loans
funded by NRLP.
In October 1998, NRLP funded three loans to JNC or affiliated entities. The
first JNC loan of $1.0 million was secured by a second lien on 3.5 acres of
land in Dallas, Texas, the guarantee of the borrower and the personal
guarantees of its shareholders. This loan was collected in full in July 1999,
prior to its maturity. The second loan, also $1.0 million, was secured by a
second lien on 2.92 acres of land in Dallas, Texas, the guarantee of the
borrower and the personal guarantees of its shareholders. This loan was
collected in full in March 1999, also prior to its maturity. The third loan,
in the amount of $2.1 million, was to Frisco Panther Partners, Ltd., a JNC
affiliate. The loan is secured by a second lien on 408.23 acres of land in
Frisco, Texas, the guarantee of the borrower and the personal guarantees of
its partners. In January 1999, a $820,000 paydown was received on this loan.
The loan originally matured in October 1999. At maturity, the loan was
extended to March 2000, in exchange for an increase in the interest rate to
16.0% per annum. All principal and interest are due at maturity. This loan is
cross-collateralized with the other JNC loans funded by NRLP.
In December 1998, NRLP funded $3.3 million of a $5.0 million loan
commitment to JNC. In January 1999, a $1.3 million paydown was received on the
loan and subsequently an additional $3.0 million was funded increasing the
loan balance to $5.0 million. The loan is secured by a second lien on 1,791
acres of land in Denton County, Texas and a second lien on 91 acres of land in
Collin County, Texas. At maturity in December 1999, the loan was extended to
March 2000, in exchange for an increase in the interest rate to 16.0% per
annum. All principal and interest are due at maturity. This loan is cross-
collateralized with the other JNC loans funded by NRLP.

Other. In January and July 1999, NRLP collected a $1.7 million note
receivable in full including a $400,000 participation fee.
In September 1999, in conjunction with the sale of the Oakhollow Apartments
and the Windridge Apartments in Austin, Texas, NRLP provided $2.1 million in
purchase money financing secured by limited partnership interest in two
limited partnerships owned by the buyer. The financing bears interest at 16.0%
per annum, requires monthly payments of interest only at 6.0%, beginning in
February 2000 and required a $200,000 principal paydown in December 1999,
which was not received and matures in August 2000. NRLP had the option to
obtain the buyer's general and limited partnership interests in the
partnerships in full satisfaction of the financing. In March 2000, NRLP agreed
to forbear foreclosing on the collateral and release one of the partnership
interests, in exchange for an initial payment of $250,000 and executed deeds
of trusts on certain properties, which was received. In addition, the borrower
is to make a $1.1 million payment in April 2000. Upon receipt of the April
2000 payment, NRLP will return the deeds of trust and terminate the option
agreement. The borrower will execute a replacement promissory note for the
remaining note balance, estimated to be $1.0 million, which will be unsecured,
non-interest bearing and mature in April 2003.
In December 1999, a note with a principal balance of $1.2 million, secured
by a pledge of a partnership interest in a partnership which owns real estate
in Addison, Texas, matured. In exchange for extending the maturity date to
April 2000, the interest rate was to 14.0% per annum. All other terms remained
the same.
In August 1998, NRLP funded a $3.7 million loan to JNC. The loan was
secured by a contract to purchase 387 acres of land in Collin County, Texas,

payoff the $3.7 million loan to NRLP, including accrued but unpaid interest,
paydown by $1.3 million another JNC loan and paydown by $820,000 the JNC
Frisco Panther Partners Ltd. loan, discussed above.
Also in August 1998, NRLP funded a $635,000 loan to La Quinta Partners,

25
<PAGE>
In December 1998, in connection with the Moorman litigation settlement,
NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART and the general partner of NRLP, assumed
responsibility for repayment to NRLP of the $12.2 million paid by NRLP to the
Moorman Class Members and legal counsel. The loan bears interest at a variable
rate, currently 8.0% per annum, and requires annual payments of accrued
interest plus principal payments of $500,000 in each of the first three years,
$750,000 in each of the next three years, $1.0 million in each of the next
three years, with payment in full of the remaining balance in the tenth year.
The note is guaranteed by ART. The note matures upon the earlier of the
liquidation or dissolution of NRLP, NMC ceasing to be general partner or ten
years from March 31, 1999, the date of the first cash distribution to the
Moorman Class Members. NRLP is consolidated for financial statement purposes
and the loan balance is eliminated in consolidation.
In February 1999, a $5.0 million unsecured loan was funded by GCLP to One
Realco Corporation, formerly Davister Corp., which at December 31, 1999, owned
approximately 15.8% of the outstanding shares of ART's Common Stock. The loan
bears interest at 12.0% per annum and matured in February 2000. All principal

collected in March 2000 and the loan's maturity was extended to February 2002.
All other terms of the loan remained unchanged. The loan is guaranteed by BCM.
In 1998, NRLP funded a $1.8 million loan commitment to Warwick of Summit,
Inc. ("Warwick"), of which $619,000 was used to repay a Warwick affiliate's
loan from NRLP. The loan was secured by a second lien on a shopping center in
Rhode Island, by 100% of the stock of the borrower and by the personal
guarantee of the principal shareholder of the borrower. The loan bears
interest at 14.0% per annum and has an extended maturity of December 2000. All
principal and interest were due at maturity. In December 1999, the borrower
sold the collateral property. NRLP received $810,000 of the net proceeds of
the sale, of which $386,000 was applied to interest and the remaining $424,000
was applied to principal. NRLP is to receive escrowed monies in 2000. Through
February 2000, $50,000 had been received. The loan is currently unsecured. In
October 1999, Richard D. Morgan, a Warwick shareholder, was elected a director
of NMC, the general partner of NRLP.
Beginning in 1997 and through January 1999, NRLP funded a $1.6 million loan
commitment to Bordeaux Investments Two, L.L.C. ("Bordeaux"). The loan is
secured by (1) a 100% membership interest in Bordeaux, which owns a shopping
center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; (2) 100% of the stock of Bordeaux
Investments One, Inc., which owns 6.5 acres of undeveloped land in Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma; and (3) the personal guarantees of the Bordeaux members. The
loan bears interest at 14.0% per annum. Until November 1998, the loan required
monthly payments of interest only at 12.0% per annum, with the deferred
interest payable at maturity in January 1999. In November 1998, the loan was
modified to allow payments based on monthly cash flow of the collateral
property and the maturity date was extended to December 1999. In the second
quarter of 1999, the loan was again modified, increasing the loan commitment
to $2.1 million and an additional $33,000 was funded. In the third quarter of
1999, an additional $213,000 was funded. The property has had no cash flow,
therefore, NRLP ceased accruing interest on the loan in the second quarter of
1999. In October 1999, a $724,000 paydown was received on the loan by NRLP,
which was applied first to accrued interest due of $261,000 then to principal,
reducing the loan balance to $1.4 million. Negotiations are in process to
further modify and extend the loan. In October 1999, Richard D. Morgan, a
Bordeaux member, was elected a director of NMC, the general partner of NRLP.

L.P. In October 1999, Mr. Morgan was elected a director of NMC, the general
partner of NRLP.
Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts and Real Estate Partnerships
Real estate entities. ART's investment in real estate entities includes
equity securities of two publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trusts, IORI
and TCI, and interests in real estate joint venture partnerships. BCM, ART's
advisor, also serves as advisor to IORI and TCI.
Since acquiring its initial investments in the equity securities of IORI,
TCI and NRLP in 1989, ART has made additional investments in the equity
securities of these entities through private and open market purchases. The
cost with respect to shares of IORI and TCI at December 31, 1999 totaled $24.1
million, and its cost with respect to units of limited partner interest in
NRLP totaled $25.5 million. The aggregate carrying value (cost plus or minus
equity in income or losses and less distributions received) of the equity
securities of IORI and TCI was $39.8 million at December 31, 1999 and the
aggregate market value of the equity securities of IORI and TCI was $44.6
million and $60.8 million for NRLP. The aggregate investee book value of the
equity securities of IORI and TCI based upon the December 31, 1999 financial
statements of each entity was $77.9 million. See ITEM 13. "CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS."
The Board of Directors has authorized the expenditure of up to an aggregate
of $35.0 million to acquire, in open market purchases, units of NRLP and
shares of IORI and TCI, excluding private purchase transactions which were
separately authorized. As of December 31, 1999, ART had expended $6.3 million
to acquire units of NRLP and an aggregate of $8.0 million to acquire shares of
IORI and TCI, in open market purchases, in accordance with these
authorizations. ART expects to make additional investments in the equity
securities of IORI and TCI.
The equity securities of IORI, TCI and NRLP were purchased for the purpose
of investment based principally on the opinion of management that the equity
securities of each were and are currently undervalued. The determination to
purchase additional equity securities of IORI and TCI will be made on an
entity-by-entity basis and will depend on the market price of each entity's
equity securities relative to the value of its assets, the availability of
sufficient funds and the judgment of management regarding the relative
attractiveness of alternative investment opportunities. Substantially all of
the equity securities of IORI, TCI and NRLP are pledged as collateral for
borrowings.
Pertinent information regarding ART's investment in the equity securities
of the IORI and TCI at December 31, 1999, is summarized below (dollars in
thousands):

Each of IORI and TCI owns a considerable amount of real estate, much of
which, has been held for many years. Because of depreciation, these entities
may earn substantial amounts in periods in which they sell real estate and
will probably incur losses in periods in which they do not. ART's reported
income or loss attributable to these entities will differ materially from its
cash flow attributable to them.
ART does not have a controlling equity interest in either of IORI or TCI
and therefore it cannot, acting by itself, determine either the individual
investments or the overall investment policies of either of them. However,
27
<PAGE>
due to ART's equity investments in, and the existence of common officers with,
each of IORI and TCI and that IORI and TCI have the same advisor as ART and
that Karl L. Blaha, a Director and President of ART, is also the President of
IORI, TCI and BCM, ART's advisor, ART may be considered to have the ability to
exercise significant influence over the operating and investing policies of
IORI and TCI. ART accounts for its investment in IORI and TCI using the equity
method. Under the equity method, ART recognizes its proportionate share of the
income or loss from the operations of IORI and TCI currently, rather than when
realized through dividends or on sale. ART discontinued accounting for its
investment in NRLP under the equity method as of December 31, 1998, due to the
election of NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART, as general partner of NRLP
and NOLP. Since December 31, 1998, the accounts and operations of NRLP have
been consolidated with those of ART. The carrying value of ART's investment in
IORI and TCI, as set forth in the table above, is the original cost of each
such investment adjusted for ART's proportionate share of each of IORI's and
TCI's income or loss and distributions received.
The following is a summary description of each of IORI and TCI based upon
information publicly reported by each entity.
IORI. IORI is a Nevada corporation which was originally organized on
December 14, 1984 as a California business trust and commenced operations on
April 10, 1985. IORI's business is investing in real estate through direct
equity investments and partnerships. IORI holds equity investments in
apartments and commercial properties (office buildings) in the Pacific,
Southeast and Southwest regions of the continental United States. At December
31, 1999, IORI owned 14 income producing properties located in three states.
These properties consisted of five apartments comprising 934 units and nine
office buildings with an aggregate of 596,059 sq. ft.
IORI reported a net income of $1.3 million in 1999 as compared to a net
loss of $679,000 in 1998. IORI's net income in 1999, is attributable to $1.5
million of gains on sale of real estate. IORI had $180,000 of gains on sale of
real estate in 1998. IORI's cash flow from property operations increased to
$9.7 million in 1999 from $7.9 million in 1998. At December 31, 1999, IORI had
total assets of $91.2 million, which consisted of $86.5 million in real estate
held for investment, $3.9 million in investments in partnerships and other
assets and $722,000 in cash and cash equivalents.
IORI has paid quarterly dividends since the first quarter of 1993. ART
received a total of $269,000 in dividends from IORI in 1999.
TCI. TCI is a Nevada corporation which was originally organized on
September 6, 1983, as a California business trust, and commenced operations on
January 31, 1984. On September 25, 1998, TCI and Continental Mortgage and
Equity Trust ("CMET"), both, at the time, equity investees of ART, jointly
announced the agreement of their respective Boards for TCI to acquire CMET
through merger. At special meetings held on September 28, 1999, the
stockholders of both companies approved the merger transaction. The merger was
completed on November 30, 1999. Pursuant to the merger agreement, TCI acquired
all of the outstanding CMET shares of beneficial interest in a tax-free
exchange of shares, issuing 1.181 shares of its common stock for each
outstanding CMET share.
TCI has investment policies similar to those of IORI. TCI holds equity
investments in apartments, commercial properties (office buildings, industrial
warehouses and shopping centers) and hotels throughout the continental United
States with a concentration in the Southeast and Southwest regions. At
December 31, 1999, TCI owned 123 income producing properties located in 16
states. These properties consisted of 69 apartments comprising 11,232 units,
30 office buildings with an aggregate of 3.8 million sq. ft., 14 industrial
warehouses with an aggregate of 2.2 million sq. ft., six shopping centers with
an aggregate of 622,661 sq. ft., a fitness club with 56,532 sq. ft. and four
hotels with a total of 209 rooms. TCI also holds mortgage notes receivable
secured by real estate located in the Southeast and Southwest regions of the
continental United States.
TCI reported net income of $30.2 million in 1999 as compared to net income
of $6.9 million in 1998. TCI's net income for 1999 included gains on the sale
of real estate of $40.5 million whereas its net income for 1998
28
<PAGE>
included gains on the sale of real estate of $12.9 million. TCI's cash flow
from property operations increased to $37.2 million in 1999 from $29.8 million
in 1998. At December 31, 1999, TCI had total assets of $714.2 million, which
consisted of $599.7 million in real estate held for investment, $1.8 million
in real estate held for sale, $2.3 million in investments in real estate
entities, $11.5 million in notes and interest receivable, $57.6 million in
investments in marketable equity securities and other assets and $41.3 million
in cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 1999, TCI owned 345,728 shares
of IORI's common stock, approximately 22.6% of the shares then outstanding.
TCI has paid quarterly dividends since the fourth quarter of 1995. In 1999,
ART received a total of $1.7 million in dividends from TCI.
Elm Fork, L.P. In September 1997, a limited partnership, of which ART is
the 1% general partner and 21.5% limited partner, purchased a 422.4 acre
parcel of unimproved land in Denton County, Texas, for $16.0 million in cash.
ART contributed $3.6 million in cash with the remaining $12.4 million being
contributed by the other limited partners. In September 1997, the partnership
obtained financing of $6.5 million secured by the land. The net financing
proceeds were distributed to the partners and ART received a return of $2.9
million of its initial investment. The partnership agreement also provides
that the limited partners receive a 12% preferred cumulative return before any
sharing of partnership profits occurs. At December 31, 1999, all 422.4 acres
remained to be sold.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
ART is involved in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of ART's management the outcome of these lawsuits
will not have a material impact on ART's financial condition, results of
operations or liquidity.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
ART was organized in 1961 to provide investors with a professionally
managed, diversified portfolio of real estate and mortgage loan investments
selected to provide opportunities for capital appreciation as well as current
income.
Effective December 18, 1998, NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART, was
elected general partner of NRLP and NOLP. NRLP is a publicly traded master
limited partnership. NRLP and NOLP operate as an
32
<PAGE>
economic unit and, unless the context otherwise requires, all references
herein to NRLP shall constitute references to NRLP and NOLP as a unit. In
November 1992, NRLP refinanced 52 of the apartments in its real estate
portfolio and the underlying debt of a wraparound mortgage note receivable
with a financial institution. To facilitate such refinancing, NOLP transferred
these assets to GCLP, a Delaware limited partnership. NOLP is the sole limited
partner in GCLP. GCLP is the sole limited partner in the single asset limited
partnerships which were formed for the purpose of acquiring, operating and
holding title to the apartments and wraparound mortgage note transferred by
NOLP. The general partner and owner of a .7% beneficial interest in GCLP and a
1% beneficial interest in the GCLP single asset operating partnerships, is
GNRI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART. Prior to December 31, 1998, ART
accounted for its investment in NRLP under the equity method, as of December
31, 1998, upon the election of NMC as general partner of NRLP, ART began
consolidation of NRLP's accounts and has consolidated its operations
subsequent to that date.
Until December 18, 1998, the general partner and owner of 1% of the
beneficial interest in each of NRLP and NOLP was Syntek Asset Management, L.P.
("SAMLP"), a Delaware limited partnership, of which ART is a 96% limited
partner. With its election as general partner, NMC succeeded to SAMLP's 1%
beneficial interest in each of NRLP and NOLP. NMC also assumed liability for
SAMLP's note for its capital contribution to NRLP.
Proposed Transaction with American Realty Investors, Inc. On November 3,
1999, ART and NRLP jointly announced the agreement of their respective Boards
to combine, in a tax free exchange, the two entities under the ownership of a
new company to be named American Realty Investors, Inc. ("ARI"). Under the
proposal, ARI will distribute shares of its common stock to ART stockholders
and NRLP unitholders. NRLP unitholders, except for ART, will receive one share
of ARI common stock for each NRLP unit held. ART stockholders will receive .91
shares of ARI common stock for each share of ART Common Stock held. ART
Preferred Stock will convert into one share of preferred stock of ARI, having
substantially the same rights as ART's Preferred Stock. The share exchange and
merger were subject to a vote of stockholders/unitholders of both entities.
Approval required the vote of the unitholders holding a majority of NRLP's
outstanding units, and the vote of stockholders holding a majority of ART's
outstanding shares of Common and Preferred Stock. As of March 3, 2000, ART
owned approximately 55.4% of the outstanding units of NRLP and BCM owned
approximately 12.4% of the outstanding units of NRLP and 56.9% of the
outstanding shares of ART's Common Stock. At special meetings held on March
21, 2000, the ART stockholders and NRLP unitholders approved the merger
proposal. The merger is expected to be completed early in the second quarter
of 2000. For accounting purposes, the merger will be treated as a purchase by
ART of NRLP.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1999 totaled $2.5
million, compared with $11.5 million at December 31, 1998. Although ART
anticipates that during 2000 it will generate excess cash from operations, as
discussed below, such excess cash is not sufficient to discharge all of ART's
debt obligations as they mature. ART will therefore again rely on externally
generated funds, including aggressive land sales, selected income producing
property sales, refinancing of properties and, to the extent necessary,
borrowings to meet its debt service obligations, pay taxes, interest and other
non-property related expenses.
Notes payable totaling $196.9 million are scheduled to mature during 2000.
During the first quarter of 2000, ART either extended, refinanced, paid down,
paid off or received commitments from lenders to extend or refinance $17.6
million of the debt scheduled to mature in 2000. See NOTE 5. "REAL ESTATE,"
NOTE 8. "NOTES AND INTEREST PAYABLE" and NOTE 21. "SUBSEQUENT EVENTS."
ART expects an increase in cash from property operations in 2000. The
increase is expected to be derived from a full year of operations of the
office building that it purchased in 1999 as well as from the two office
building's construction of which was completed in 1999. It is also expecting
substantial land sales and selected property sales to generate additional
cash.
33
<PAGE>
Net cash from operating activities improved to a deficit of $19.6 million
in 1999 from a deficit of $23.0 million in 1998. Fluctuations in the
components of cash from operating activities are discussed in the paragraphs
that follow.
Net cash from pizza operations (sales less cost of sales) increased to $4.3
million in 1999 from $2.4 million in 1998. The increase was due to a decline
in cheese prices from the record highs of 1998 to historical levels in 1999.
Net cash from property operations (rents collected less payments for
expenses applicable to rental income) increased to $53.8 million in 1999 from
$21.5 million in 1998. This increase was primarily attributable to the
consolidation of NRLP's operations subsequent to December 31, 1998.
Interest collected increased to $5.7 million in 1999 from $188,000 in 1998.
The increase was attributable to the consolidation of NRLP's operations
subsequent to December 31, 1998. NRLP had done significant lending in 1998 and
1999.
Interest paid increased to $73.0 million in 1999 from $34.1 million in
1998. The consolidation of NRLP's operations increased interest paid by $24.9
million and the remainder of the increase was due to the Encino Office
Building purchased in May 1999, 36 apartments and land purchased by ART in
1998 and 1999 on a leveraged basis.
Advisory fees paid increased to $5.5 million in 1999 from $3.8 million in
1998. The increase was due to an increase in ART's gross assets, the basis for
such fee.
General and administrative expenses paid increased to $16.6 million in 1999
from $8.5 million in 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to the
consolidation of NRLP's operations subsequent to December 31, 1998.
Other cash from operating activities increased to $13.4 million in 1999
from a use of $5.5 million in 1998. The increase was due to a decrease in
property prepaids, other miscellaneous property receivables and property
escrows.
Distributions from equity investees' decreased to $3.5 million in 1999 from
$10.3 million in 1998. The decrease was due to the consolidation of NRLP's
operations subsequent to December 31, 1998.
Distributions to minority interest holders increased to $6.8 million in
1999 from $3.2 million in 1998. The increase was due to the consolidation of
NRLP. These distributions represent returns paid to limited partner
unitholders of controlled consolidated partnerships. See NOTE 2. "NRLP
MANAGEMENT CORP.," NOTE 5. "REAL ESTATE" and NOTE 11. "PREFERRED STOCK."
Net cash of $1.7 million in 1999 was received from marketable securities
trading activities and $2.2 million in 1998 was used in marketable equity
securities trading activities. See NOTE 7. "MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES--
TRADING PORTFOLIO."
In 1999, ART sold a total of 1,041.8 acres of land in Collin County,
Carrollton, Irving, Tarrant County, Harris County, and Plano, Texas, Palm
Desert, California in 22 separate transactions for a total of $103.3 million.
ART received net cash of $50.4 million, after paying off or paying down $39.6
million in mortgage debt secured by such land parcels. In 1999, NRLP also sold
14 apartments and one parcel of unimproved land, for a total of $184.5
million, receiving net cash of $46.9 million after the payoff or assumption by
the purchaser of mortgage debt and providing purchase money financing.
In 1999, ART purchased a total of 746.7 acres of land in Riverside,
California and Collin County, Irving, Tarrant County, and Allen, Texas, for a
total of $109.0 million. ART paid $38.9 million in cash and obtained
34
<PAGE>
mortgage or seller financing of $21.5 million. NRLP purchased an office
building, a ground lease and three parcels of unimproved land for a total of
$8.9 million, paying $5.9 million in cash and obtaining mortgage financing or
assuming loans for the remainder of purchase prices.
ART expects that funds from existing cash resources, aggressive sales of
land and selected income producing property sales, refinancing of real estate,
and borrowings against its real estate and marketable equity securities will
be sufficient to meet the cash requirements associated with ART's current and
anticipated level of operations, maturing debt obligations and existing
commitments. To the extent that ART's liquidity permits or financing sources
are available, ART will make investments in real estate, primarily investments
in improved and unimproved land, continue making investments in real estate
entities and marketable equity securities, and develop and construct income
producing properties.
ART expects that it will be necessary for it to sell $147.5 million, $35.1
million and $7.8 million of its land holdings during each of the next three
years to satisfy the debt on the land as it matures. If ART is unable to sell
at least the minimum amount of land to satisfy the land debt obligations as
they mature, ART, if it was not able to extend such debt, would either sell
other of its assets to pay the debt or return the property to the lender.
Loans Payable. ART has margin arrangements with various brokerage firms
which provide for borrowings of up to 50% of the market value of marketable
equity securities. The borrowings under the margin arrangements are secured by
the equity securities and bear interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 11.0%.
Margin borrowings totaled $33.3 million (approximately 32% of market value) at
December 31, 1999, compared to $35.8 million at December 31, 1998. See NOTE 9.
"MARGIN BORROWINGS."
In 1998 and 1999, ART borrowed a total of $124.4 million of a $125.0
million line of credit from GCLP, a partnership controlled by NRLP. ART
received fundings of a total of $51.0 million in 1998 and the remaining $73.4
million in 1999. The line of credit is secured by second liens on six ART
properties in Minnesota, Mississippi and Texas, the stock of ART Holdings,
Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART that owns 3,349,535 NRLP units of
limited partner interest, by the stock of NMC, also a wholly-owned subsidiary
of ART and the general partner of NRLP, a pledge of 678,475 NRLP limited
partner units owned by BCM and a pledge of 283,034 NRLP limited partner units
owned by ART. The loan bears interest at 12% per annum, requires monthly
interest only payments and matures in November 2003. ART consolidates the
accounts of NRLP and GCLP, and ART's obligations under the line of credit is
eliminated in consolidation. See Note 2. "NRLP Management Corp."
Equity Investments. During the fourth quarter of 1988, ART began purchasing
shares of CMET, IORI and TCI which had, at the time, the same advisor as ART,
and units of limited partner interest in NRLP. On November 30, 1999, TCI and
CMET, both equity investees of ART, completed their merger. TCI acquired all
of the outstanding CMET shares of beneficial interest in a tax-free exchange
of shares, issuing 1.181 shares of its common stock for each outstanding CMET
share. It is anticipated that additional equity securities of IORI and TCI
will be acquired in the future through open-market and negotiated transactions
to the extent ART's liquidity permits.
Equity securities of IORI, TCI and NRLP held by ART may be deemed to be
"restricted securities" under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933
("Securities Act"). Accordingly, ART may be unable to sell such equity
securities other than in a registered public offering or pursuant to an
exemption under the Securities Act for a one year period after they are
acquired. Such restrictions may reduce ART's ability to realize the full fair
market value of such investments if ART attempted to dispose of such
securities in a short period of time.
ART's cash flow from these investments is dependent on the ability of each
of IORI and TCI to make distributions. In 1999, ART received total
distributions from CMET, IORI and TCI of $3.5 million. ART anticipates
receiving distributions totaling $4.0 million from IORI and TCI in 2000.
In 1999, Art paid dividends to its Common stockholders totaling $532,000 or
$.05 per share and dividends to its Preferred stockholders totaling $2.3
million. In 1998, ART paid dividends to its Common stockholders
35
<PAGE>
totaling $2.3 million or $.20 per share and dividends to its Preferred
stockholders totaling $1.2 million. See NOTE 10. "DIVIDENDS."
Management reviews the carrying values of ART's properties and mortgage
notes receivable at least annually and whenever events or a change in
circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. Impairment is considered to
exist if, in the case of a property, the future cash flow from the property
(undiscounted and without interest) is less than the carrying amount of the
property. For notes receivable impairment is considered to exist if it is
probable that all amounts due under the terms of the note will not be
collected. If impairment is found to exist, a provision for loss is recorded
by a charge against earnings. The mortgage note receivable review includes an
evaluation of the collateral property securing each note. The property review
generally includes: (1) selective property inspections; (2) a review of the
property's current rents compared to market rents; (3) a review of the
property's expenses; (4) a review of maintenance requirements; (5) a review of
the property's cash flow; (6) discussions with the manager of the property;
and (7) a review of properties in the surrounding area.
Commitments. In October 1999, ART reached agreement with Valley Ranch, L.P.
Class A unitholders to acquire their eight million Class A units for $1.00 per
unit. In 1999, three million units were purchased and an additional one
million units were purchased in January 2000 and ART has committed to purchase
an additional two million units in each of May 2001 and May 2002.
Results of Operations
1999 Compared to 1998. ART reported net income of $10.3 million in 1999
compared to a net loss of $22.8 million in 1998. ART's net income in 1999
included gains on the sale of real estate of $129.3 million compared to gains
on the sale of real estate of $17.3 million in 1998. The primary factors
contributing to ART's net income are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Sales and cost of sales were $30.8 million and $26.3 million in 1999 and
$28.9 million and $24.8 million, in 1998. These items of revenue and cost
relate to PWSI's pizza parlor operations. PWSI experienced higher profit
margins in 1999 due to lower pizza ingredient costs, primarily cheese. Cheese
prices had reached historic highs in 1998.
Rents increased to $157.6 million in 1999 from $63.5 million in 1998. Rent
from commercial properties increased to $30.2 million in 1999 from $16.5
million in 1998, rent from hotels decreased to $31.6 million in 1999 from
$32.2 million in 1998 and rent from apartments increased to $93.9 million in
1999 from $14.2 million in 1998. The increase in rent from commercial
properties was primarily attributable to the consolidation of NRLP's
operations subsequent to December 31, 1998 and the acquisition of the Encino
Office Building in May 1999. The increase in apartment rent was due to the 36
apartments acquired by ART in 1998 and the consolidation of NRLP's operations
subsequent to December 31, 1998. Rents are expected to decrease in 2000 as a
result of 14 apartments being sold in 1999 and additional apartment sales in
the first quarter of 2000.
Property operations expense increased to $106.6 million in 1999 from $49.2
million in 1998. Property operations expense for commercial properties
increased to $16.5 million in 1999 from $9.7 million in 1998, for hotels such
expense decreased to $24.2 million in 1999 from $24.4 million in 1998, for
land it increased to $9.0 million in 1999 from $6.3 million in 1998 and for
apartments to $56.4 million in 1999 from $8.8 million in 1998. The increase in
commercial property operations expense was primarily due to the consolidation
of NRLP's operations subsequent to December 31, 1998, the acquisitions of 16
land parcels in 1998, the Encino Office Building in 1999, and eight land
parcels in 1999. The increase in apartment property operations expense was
primarily due to the acquisition of 36 apartments by ART in 1998 and the
consolidation of NRLP's operations subsequent to December 31, 1998. Property
operations expense is expected to decrease in 2000 as a result of 14
apartments being sold in 1999 and additional apartment sales in the first
quarter of 2000.
Interest income increased to $6.4 million in 1999 from $188,000 in 1998.
The increase was attributable to the consolidation of NRLP's operations
subsequent to December 31, 1998. NRLP originated and funded loans of $41.2
million in 1999 and $47.7 million in 1998. Interest income in 2000 is expected
to approximate 1999.
36
<PAGE>
Other income improved to a loss of $846,000 in 1999 from a loss of $5.5
million in 1998. This improvement was due to recognizing an unrealized loss on
marketable equity securities of $1.9 million in 1999, compared to an
unrealized loss of $6.1 million recognized in 1998. Also contributing to the
improvement was a decrease in net losses on sales of marketable equity
securities of $67,000.
Interest expense increased to $91.7 million in 1999 from $51.6 million in
1998. Of this increase, $6.0 million was due to 16 land parcels purchased in
1998, $5.1 million was due to eight land parcels purchased in 1999 and the
remainder was due to the consolidation of NRLP's operations subsequent to
December 31, 1998. Interest expense is expected to decline in 2000 due to
significant land sales anticipated in 2000 and apartment sales in the first
quarter and remainder of 2000.
Advisory fees increased to $5.5 million in 1999 from $3.8 million in 1998.
The increase was attributable to the increase in ART's gross assets, the basis
for such fee. Such fee will increase in 2000 with the merger of ART and NRLP.
NRLP's gross assets were not included in the calculation of the advisory fee
in 1999.
General and administrative expenses increased to $17.1 million in 1999 from
$8.5 million in 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to the general
and administrative expenses of NRLP. The operations of NRLP were consolidated
subsequent to December 31, 1998. General and administrative expenses in 2000
are expected to approximate 1999.
Depreciation and amortization increased to $17.4 million in 1999 from $7.0
million in 1998. The increase was due to the consolidation of NRLP's
operations subsequent to December 31, 1998 and the acquisition of Encino
Office Building in 1999.
In the third and fourth quarter of 1999, a provisions for loss of $2.1
million and $1.0 million recognized, respectively. Such loss relates to the
relinquishment by ART of its general and Class B limited partner interests in
a controlled partnership that owned two apartments in Indianapolis, Indiana.
In the third and fourth quarters of 1998, provisions for loss of $3.0 million
and $916,000 respectively, were recorded to write down the Valley Ranch land
to its estimated realizable value less estimated costs of sale. Such write
downs were necessitated by an increase in the acreage designated as flood
plain.
In December 1998, upon the election of NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
ART, as general partner of NRLP, NMC assumed liability for certain legal
settlement payments. Such obligation is included in litigation expense in the
accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. See NOTE 2. "NRLP
MANAGEMENT CORP."
Minority interest increased to $56.7 million in 1999 from $3.2 million in
1998. Minority interest is the earnings attributable to limited partners,
other than ART, of certain controlled limited partnerships. Minority interest
in 1998 and 1999 was attributable, in part, to the preferred return limited
partner units of Ocean Beach Partners, L.P., Valley Ranch, L.P., Grapevine
American, L.P., Edina Park Plaza Associates, L.P. and Hawthorne Lakes
Associations, L.P., ART Florida Portfolio III and ART Palm, L.L.C. In 1999,
minority interest includes, in addition to the preferred returns discussed
above, $55.7 million of earnings attributable to the limited partners in NRLP.
The operations of NRLP were consolidated subsequent to December 31, 1998.
Prior to December 31, 1998, ART accounted for its investment in NRLP under the
equity method. Minority interest in 2000 should return to the 1998 level with
the merger of ART and NRLP, discussed above. See NOTE 2. "NRLP MANAGEMENT
CORP."
Equity in income of investees decreased to $11.8 million in 1999 from $38.0
million in 1998. A decrease in equity income of $31.3 million was attributable
to the consolidation of the operations of NRLP subsequent to December 31,
1998. Equity investees reported gains on sale of real estate in 1999 totaling
$41.8 million of which ART's equity share of such gains was $17.4 million.
This decrease was offset by decreased operating losses totaling $7.7 million
in IORI, of which ART's equity share of equity investees' net operating losses
was $5.5 million. See NOTE 6. "INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY INVESTEES."
37
<PAGE>
Gains on sale of real estate increased to $129.3 million in 1999 from $17.3
million in 1998. In 1999, gains of $100.3 million were recognized on the sale
of 14 apartments, Olde Town; Sante Fe; Mesa Ridge; Horizon East; Lantern
Ridge; Barcelona; Country Place; Lake Nora; Fox Club; Oak Hollow; Windridge;

sale of three tracts totaling 23.0 acres of Vista Ridge land; $4.6 million on
the sale of four tracts totaling 103.6 acres of Frisco Bridges land; $23,000
on the sale of .13 acres of JHL Connell land; $128,000 on the sale of 1.4
acres of Valley Ranch land; $180,000 on the sale of Sun City lots; $186,000 on
the sale of 121.2 acres of Katrina land; $2.0 million on the sale of five
tracts totaling 187.7 acres of Keller, Scout and Scoggins land; and $561,000
on the sale of 205.4 acres of Yorktown land. In 1999, losses of $545,000 were
recognized, a $505,000 on the sale of Stone Meadows land and $40,000 on the
sale of 6.2 acres of Plano Parkway land.
In 1998, ART recognized gains of $663,000 on the sale of three tracts
totaling 78.5 acres of its Valley Ranch land; $1.9 million on its Lewisville
land; $714,000 on a 21.3 acre tract of its Parkfield land; $848,000 on a 21.6
acre tract of its Chase Oaks land; $789,000 on a 150.0 acre tract of its Rasor
land; $3.9 million on its Palm Desert land; $869,000 on a 2.5 acre tract of
its Las Colinas I land; $898,000 on its Kamperman land; $3.4 million on its
final 10.5 acre tract of BP Las Colinas land; $409,000 on a 1.1 acre tract of
its Santa Clarita land; $2.6 million on a 20.8 acre tract of its Mason
Goodrich land; and ART recognized a $179,000 previously deferred gain on a
sale of its Valley Ranch land in 1997.
1998 Compared to 1997. ART reported a net loss of $22.8 million in 1998 as
compared to a net loss of $2.4 million in 1997. ART's net loss in 1998
included gains on the sale of real estate of $17.3 million compared to gains
on the sale of real estate of $20.3 million in 1997. The primary factors
contributing to ART's net loss are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Sales and cost of sales were $28.9 million and $24.8 million in 1998 and
$25.0 million and $20.0 million, in 1997. These items of revenue and cost
relate to PWSI's pizza parlor operations. PWSI experienced lower profit
margins in 1998 due to higher labor and pizza ingredient costs, primarily
cheese, the cost of which reached historic highs in 1998.
Rents increased to $63.5 million in 1998 from $29.1 million in 1997. Rent
from commercial properties increased to $16.5 million in 1998 from $13.9
million in 1997, rent from hotels increased to $32.2 million in 1998 from
$14.9 million in 1997 and rent from apartments was $14.2 million in 1998. The
increase in rent from hotels was primarily attributable to a full year of
operations of the five hotels acquired in 1997, the increase in rent from
commercial properties was primarily attributable to a full year of operations
of the two shopping centers acquired in 1997 and apartment rent was due to the
36 apartments acquired in 1998. ART owned no apartments in 1997.
Property operations expense increased to $49.2 million in 1998 from $24.2
million in 1997. Property operations expense for commercial properties of $9.7
million in 1998 approximated the $10.0 million in 1997, for hotels such
expense increased to $24.4 million in 1998 from $11.2 million in 1997, for
land it increased to $6.3 million in 1998 from $3.0 million in 1997 and for
apartments was $8.8 million in 1998. The increase in hotel property operations
expense was primarily due to a full year of operations of the five hotels
acquired in 1997, the increase for land was primarily due to the 16 land
parcels acquired in 1998. Property operations expense for apartments was due
to the 36 apartments acquired in 1998. ART owned no apartments in 1997.
Interest income decreased to $188,000 in 1998 from $2.8 million in 1997.
The decrease was attributable to the sale of two notes receivable and the
foreclosure of the collateral securing a third note receivable in 1997 and the
foreclosure of the collateral securing a wraparound mortgage note receivable
in 1998.
38
<PAGE>
Other income declined to a loss of $5.5 million in 1998 from income of
$168,000 in 1997. This decline was due to recognizing an unrealized loss on
marketable equity securities of $6.1 million in 1998, compared to an
unrealized loss of $850,000 in 1997. Also contributing to the decline was a
decrease in dividend income and net gains on sales of marketable equity
securities of $15,000 and $260,000, respectively.
Interest expense increased to $51.6 million in 1998 from $30.2 million in
1997. Of this increase, $7.5 million was due to a full year of interest on the
debt secured by the five hotels, two shopping centers and 24 parcels of land
acquired in 1997 and an additional $10.4 million was due to debt secured by 36
apartments and 16 parcels of land acquired in 1998. Interest on margin debt
also increased by $1.5 million and deferred borrowing costs by $3.5 million.
Advisory fees increased to $3.8 million in 1998 from $2.7 million in 1997.
The increase was attributable to an increase in ART's gross assets, the basis
for such fee.
General and administrative expenses increased to $8.5 million in 1998 from
$7.8 million in 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to the general
and administrative expenses of a development subsidiary established in 1998.
Depreciation and amortization increased to $7.0 million in 1998 from $3.5
million in 1997. The increase was due to a full year of depreciation on the
five hotels and two shopping centers acquired in 1997 and 36 apartments
acquired in 1998.
In the third and fourth quarters of 1998, provisions for loss of $3.0
million and $916,000 respectively, were recorded to write down ART's Valley
Ranch land parcel to its estimated realizable value less estimated costs of
sale. Such write downs were necessitated by an increase in the acreage
designated as flood plain. ART recorded no such provision in 1997.
In December 1998, upon the election of NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
ART, as general partner of NRLP, NMC assumed liability for certain legal
settlement payments. Such obligation is included in litigation expense in the
accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. See NOTE 2. "NRLP
MANAGEMENT CORP."
Minority interest increased to $3.2 million in 1998 from $1.9 million in
1997. Minority interest is the earnings attributable to limited partners of
certain controlled limited partnerships. Minority interest in 1997 was
attributable to the preferred returns on limited partner units of Ocean Beach
Partners, L.P., Valley Ranch, L.P., Grapevine American, L.P., Edina Park Plaza
Associates, L.P. and Hawthorne Lakes Associations, L.P. In 1998, preferred
returns paid on limited partner units for ART Florida Portfolio III and ART
Palm, L.L.C. also were included.
Equity in income of investees increased to $38.0 million in 1998 from $10.5
million in 1997. The increase in equity income was attributable to an increase
totaling $55.2 million in gains on sale of real estate in IORI, NRLP and TCI
offset in part by a decrease of $1.2 million in CMET. ART's equity share of
such gains was $33.3 million. This net increase was offset by decreased
operating income totaling $7.5 million in IORI, NRLP and CMET offset in part
by an increase in operating income of $3.1 million in TCI. ART's equity share
of equity investees' net operating losses was $6.9 million.
Gains on sale of real estate decreased to $17.3 million in 1998 from $20.3
million in 1997. In 1998, ART recognized gains of $663,000 on the sale of
three tracts totaling 78.5 acres of its Valley Ranch land; $1.9 million on its
Lewisville land; $714,000 on a 21.3 acre tract of its Parkfield land; $848,000
on a 21.6 acre tract of its Chase Oaks land; $789,000 on a 150.0 acre tract of
its Rasor land; $3.9 million on its Palm Desert land; $869,000 on a 2.5 acre
tract of its Las Colinas I land; $898,000 on its Kamperman land; $3.4 million
on its final 10.5 acre tract of BP Las Colinas land; $409,000 on a 1.1 acre
tract of its Santa Clarita land; $2.6 million on a 20.8 acre tract of its
Mason Goodrich land; and ART recognized a $179,000 previously deferred gain on
a sale of its Valley Ranch land in 1997.
39
<PAGE>
In 1997, ART recognized gains of $5.9 million on the sale of a 49.7 acre
tract of BP Las Colinas land in Las Colinas, Texas; $3.5 million on the sale
of tracts totaling 116.8 acres of Valley Ranch land in Irving, Texas; $2.7
million on the sale of a 12.5 acre tract of Las Colinas I land in Las Colinas,
Texas; $3.6 million on the sale of Pin Oak land in Houston, Texas; $216,000 on
the sale of a 99.7 acre tract of Kamperman land in Collin County, Texas;

Colorado; $211,000 on the sale of a 86.5 acre tract of Rasor land in Plano,
Texas; $106,000 on the sale of Park Plaza Shopping Center in Manitowoc,
Wisconsin; $480,000 on the sale of the Mopac Building in St. Louis, Missouri;
and $172,000 on the sale of a mortgage note receivable. ART also recognized a
previously deferred gain of $3.0 million on the sale of Porticos Apartments.
See NOTE 5. "REAL ESTATE."
Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, ART may be potentially liable for removal or remediation costs,
as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic
substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property)
where property-level managers have arranged for the removal, disposal or
treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, certain environmental
laws impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials into the
air, and third parties may seek recovery for personal injury associated with
such materials.
Management is not aware of any environmental liability relating to the
above matters that would have a material adverse effect on ART's business,
assets or results of operations.
Inflation
The effects of inflation on ART's operations are not quantifiable. Revenues
from property operations tend to fluctuate proportionately with inflationary
increases and decreases in housing costs. Fluctuations in the rate of
inflation also affect the sales values of properties and the ultimate gains to
be realized from property sales. To the extent that inflation affects interest
rates, earnings from short-term investments and the cost of new financings as
well as the cost of variable interest rate debt will be affected.
Year 2000
Even though January 1, 2000, has passed, and no adverse impact from the
transition to the year 2000 has been experienced, no assurance can be provided
that ART's suppliers and tenants have not been affected in a manner that is
not yet apparent. As a result, management will continue to monitor ART's year
2000 compliance and the year 2000 compliance of its suppliers and tenants.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES REGARDING MARKET RISK
ART's future operations, cash flow and fair values of financial instruments
are partially dependent upon the then existing market interest rates and
market equity prices. Market risk is the changes in the market rates and
prices and the affect of the changes on the future operations. Market risk is
managed by matching a property's anticipated net operating income to an
appropriate financing.
40
<PAGE>
The following table contains only those exposures that existed at December
31, 1999. Anticipation of exposures of risk on positions that could possibly
arise was not considered. ART's ultimate interest rate risk and its effect on
operations will depend on future capital market exposures, which cannot be
anticipated with a probable assurance level. Dollars in thousands.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors of
American Realty Trust, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American
Realty Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. 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 American Realty Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, 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.

AMERICAN REALTY TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of American Realty
Trust, 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 1997 and 1998 have been reclassified to conform to the
1999 presentation.
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and company business. American Realty Trust, Inc. ("ART"), a
Georgia corporation, is successor to a District of Columbia business trust,
that primarily invests in real estate and real estate-related entities and
purchases and originates mortgage loans.
On November 3, 1999, ART and National Realty, L.P. ("NRLP") jointly
announced the agreement of their respective Boards to combine, in a tax free
exchange, the two entities under the ownership a new company to be named
American Realty Investors, Inc. ("ARI"). Under the proposal, ARI will
distribute shares of its common stock to stockholders of ART and NRLP
unitholders. NRLP unitholders, except for ART, will receive one share of ARI
common stock for each NRLP unit held. Stockholders of ART will receive .91
shares of ARI common stock for each share of Common Stock of ART held.
Preferred Stock of ART will be converted into one share of preferred stock of
ARI, having substantially the same rights as ART's Preferred Stock. The share
exchange and merger were subject to a vote of stockholders/unitholders of both
entities. Approval required the vote of the unitholders holding a majority of
NRLP's outstanding units, and the vote of the stockholders holding a majority
of ART's outstanding shares of Common and Preferred Stock. As of March 3,
2000, ART owned approximately 55.4% of the outstanding NRLP units and Basic
Capital Management, Inc. ("BCM") owned approximately 12.4% of the outstanding
NRLP units and 56.9% of the outstanding shares of ART's Common Stock. At
special meetings of stockholders/unitholders held on March 21, 2000, the ART
stockholders and NRLP unitholders approved the merger proposal. The merger is
expected to be completed early in the second quarter of 2000. For accounting
purposes, the merger will be treated as a purchase by ART of NRLP.
Basis of consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the
accounts of ART, and all controlled subsidiaries and partnerships other than
NRLP prior to December 31, 1998. The Company used the equity method to account
for its investment in NRLP prior to December 31, 1998. See NOTE 2. "NRLP
MANAGEMENT CORP." All significant intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated.
Accounting estimates. In the preparation of the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles it was necessary for 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. A valuation allowance is provided for
estimated losses on notes receivable considered to be impaired. Impairment is
considered to exist when it is probable that all amounts due under the
49
<PAGE>

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
terms of the note will not be collected. Valuation allowances are provided for
estimated losses on notes receivable to the extent that the Company's
investment in the note exceeds management's estimate of fair value of the
collateral securing such note.
Real estate held for investment and depreciation. Real estate held for
investment is carried at cost. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121 ("SFAS No. 121") requires that a property 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 property. If impairment
exists, an impairment loss is recognized by a charge against earnings, equal
to the amount by which the carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair
value of the property. If impairment of a property is recognized, the carrying
amount of the property is reduced by the amount of the impairment, and a new
cost for the property is established. Such new cost is depreciated over the
property's remaining useful life. Depreciation is provided by the straight-
line method over estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 40 years.
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. SFAS No. 121 also requires that properties held for sale be
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs of sale. If
a reduction in a held for sale property's carrying amount to fair value less
costs of sale 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 property's estimated fair value less costs of sale is recorded
as an adjustment to the property's carrying amount, but not in excess of the
property's carrying amount when originally classified as held for sale. A
corresponding charge against or credit to earnings is recognized. Properties
held for sale are not depreciated.
Investments in equity investees. Because the Company may be considered to
have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and
investment policies of certain of its investees, they are accounted for by the
equity method. Under the equity method, the Company's initial investment,
recorded at cost, is increased by its proportionate share of the investee's
operating income and any additional investment and decreased by the Company's
proportionate share of the investee's operating losses and distributions
received.
Present value premiums/discounts. The Company provides for present value
premiums and discounts on notes receivable or payable that have interest rates
that differ substantially from prevailing market rates and amortizes such
premiums and 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 of 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.
Operating segments. Management has determined that the Company's reportable
operating segments are those that are based on the Company's method of
internal reporting, which disaggregates its operations by type of real estate.
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
50
<PAGE>

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
used. For marketable equity securities fair value was based on the year end
closing market price of each security. For notes payable the fair value was
estimated using current rates for mortgages with similar terms and maturities.
Cash equivalents. For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows, all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity
of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
Earnings per share. Income (loss) per share is presented in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".
Income (loss) per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding during each year.
NOTE 2. NRLP MANAGEMENT CORP.
Effective December 18, 1998, NRLP Management Corp. ("NMC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, was elected general partner of NRLP and National
Operating, L.P. ("NOLP"), the operating partnership of NRLP. NRLP is a
publicly traded master limited partnership which was formed on January 29,
1987. It commenced operations on September 18, 1987 when, through NOLP, it
acquired all of the assets, and assumed all of the liabilities, of 35 public
and private limited partnerships. NRLP is the sole limited partner of NOLP and
owns 99% of the beneficial interest in NOLP. NRLP and NOLP operate as an
economic unit and, unless the context otherwise requires, all references
herein to NRLP shall constitute references to NRLP and NOLP as a unit. NMC, as
general partner, has discretion in determining methods of obtaining funds for
NRLP's operations, and the acquisition and disposition of its assets. In
November 1992, NOLP refinanced 52 of the apartments in its real estate
portfolio and the underlying debt of a wraparound mortgage note receivable
with a financial institution. To facilitate such refinancing, NOLP transferred
these assets to Garden Capital, L.P. ("GCLP"). NOLP is the sole limited
partner in GCLP. GCLP is the sole limited partner in the single asset limited
partnerships which were formed for the purpose of acquiring, operating and
holding title to the apartments and wraparound mortgage note transferred by
NOLP. The general partner and owner of a .7% beneficial interest in GCLP and a
1% beneficial interest in the GCLP single asset operating partnerships, is
Garden National Realty, Inc. ("GNRI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.
Until December 18, 1998, the general partner and owner of 1% of the
beneficial interest in each of NRLP and NOLP was Syntek Asset Management, L.P.
("SAMLP"), of which the Company is a 96% limited partner. With its election as
general partner, NMC succeeded to SAMLP's 1% beneficial interest in each of
NRLP and NOLP. NMC also assumed liability for SAMLP's note for its capital
contribution to NRLP. In addition, NMC assumed liability for a note which
requires the repayment of the $12.2 million paid by NRLP under the Moorman
litigation settlement relating to the original formation of NRLP. This note
requires repayment over a ten-year period, bears interest at a variable rate,
currently 8.0% per annum, and is guaranteed by the Company.
At December 31, 1999, in addition to its general partner interests in NRLP
and GCLP, the Company owned approximately 55.4% of the outstanding NRLP units
of limited partner interest.
Prior to December 31, 1998, the Company accounted for its investment in
NRLP under the equity method. As of December 31, 1998, upon the election of
NMC as general partner of NRLP and NOLP, the Company began consolidate NRLP's
accounts and has consolidated its operations subsequent to that date. The
consolidation of the accounts of the Company with those of NRLP (after
intercompany eliminations) resulted in an increase in NRLP's net real estate
of $60.6 million. This amount was allocated to the individual real estate
assets based on their relative individual fair market values.

The Company recognizes interest income on nonperforming notes receivable on
a cash basis. For the years 1999, 1998 and 1997 unrecognized interest income
on such nonperforming notes receivable totaled $1.0 million, $716,000 and $2.2
million, respectively.
Notes receivable at December 31, 1999, mature from 2000 to 2009 with
interest rates ranging from 8.2% to 16.0% per annum and a weighted average
rate of 13.2% per annum. Notes receivable are generally collateralized by real
estate or interests in real estate and personal guarantees of the borrower. A
majority of the notes receivable provide for interest to be paid at maturity.
Scheduled principal maturities of $29.2 million are due in 2000 of which $2.5
million is due on nonperforming notes receivable.
Deferred gains result from property sales where the buyer has either made
an inadequate down payment or has not met the continuing investment test of
SFAS No. 66. See NOTE 1. "SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Revenue
recognition on the sale of real estate."
In August 1999, NRLP funded a $2.6 million loan to JNC Enterprises, Inc.
("JNC"). The loan was subsequently split into two pieces. The loans are
secured by second liens on a 3.5 acre and a 1.2561 acre parcel of land in
Dallas, Texas, the guarantee of the borrower and the personal guarantees of
its shareholders. The loans bear interest at 16.0% per annum and matured in
February 2000. All principal and interest were due at maturity. JNC used $2.3
million of the loan proceeds to paydown another JNC loan with a principal
balance of $4.2 million. In March 2000, the $2.0 million loan secured by the
3.5 acre parcel of land was collected in full, including accrued but unpaid
interest. Negotiations are in process to extend the remaining loan. The loan
is cross-collateralized with the other JNC loans.
In September 1999, in conjunction with the sale of two apartments, NRLP
provided $2.1 million in purchase money financing secured by limited
partnership interests in two limited partnerships owned by the buyer. The
financing bears interest at 16.0% per annum, requires monthly payments of
interest only at 6.0%, beginning in February 2000 and required a $200,000
principal paydown in December 1999, which was not received, and matures in
August 2000. NRLP had the option to obtain the buyer's general and limited
partnership interests, in the partnerships in full satisfaction of the
financing. In March 2000, NRLP agreed to forbear foreclosing on the collateral
and release one of the partnership interests, in exchange for payment of
$250,000 and executed deeds of trusts on certain properties, which was
received. In addition, the borrower is to make a $1.1 million payment in April
2000. Upon receipt of the April 2000 payment, NRLP will return the deeds of
trust and terminate the option agreement. The borrower will execute a
replacement promissory note for the remaining note balance, estimated to be
$1.0 million, which will be unsecured, non-interest bearing and mature in
April 2003.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
In December 1999, a note with a principal balance of $1.2 million and
secured by a pledge of a partnership interest in a partnership which owns real
estate in Addison, Texas, matured. The maturity date was extended to April
2000, in exchange for an increase in the interest rate to 14.0% per annum. All
other terms remained the same.
During 1998 and 1999, NRLP funded a total of $31.0 million of a $52.5
million loan commitment to Centura Tower, Ltd. ("Centura"). The loan was
secured by 2.244 acres of land and an office building under construction in
Farmers Branch, Texas. In August 1999, NRLP exercised its option contained in
the loan agreement and obtained a combined 80% general and limited partnership
interest in Centura in exchange for a $24.1 million capital contribution
through conversion of a portion of its note receivable. The $8.3 million
balance of the note continued as a loan to Centura, bears interest at a rate
of 18.0% per annum, and is payable from cash flows of the project. Centura is
consolidated for financial statement purposes and the loan balance is
eliminated in consolidation. In December 1999, the construction debt secured
by the Centura Office Building was refinanced with a new construction loan in
the amount of $28.5 million, of which $21.7 million was initially funded by
the lender. NRLP received net cash of $8.6 million after paying off $11.0
million in construction debt, the funding of required escrows and the payment
of various closing costs. The new mortgage bears interest at a variable rate,
currently 9.75% per annum, requires monthly payments of interest only and
matures in December 2000. Through December 31, 1999, a total of $132,000 in
interest was capitalized. Through February 2000, the lender has advanced an
additional $2.6 million under the construction loan.
In August 1998, NRLP funded $6.0 million loan to Centura Holdings, LLC, a
subsidiary of Centura. The loan was secured by 6.4109 acres of land in Farmers
Branch, Texas, adjacent to the Centura Office Building. In November 1999, the
land was transferred to NLP/CH, Ltd., a partnership in which NRLP has a
combined 80% general and limited partnership interest. The borrower holds the
remaining 20% limited partnership interest. NLP/CH, Ltd. is consolidated for
financial statement purposes.
Also in August 1998, NRLP funded $3.7 million loan to JNC. The loan was
secured by a contract to purchase 387 acres of unimproved land in Collin
County, Texas, the guarantee of the borrower and the personal guarantees of
its shareholders. In January 1999, the Company purchased the contract from JNC
and acquired the land. In connection with the purchase, GCLP funded an
additional $6.0 million of its $125.0 million loan commitment to the Company.
JNC used a portion of the funds to payoff a $3.7 million loan from NRLP,
including accrued but unpaid interest, paydown by $1.3 million another JNC
loan and paydown by $820,000 the JNC Frisco Panther Partners, Ltd. loan.
During 1998 and 1999, NRLP funded $2.1 million of a $2.2 million loan
commitment to Varner Road Partners, L.L.C. The loan was secured by a 129.77
acre parcel of unimproved land in Riverside County, California and a pledge of
the membership interests of the borrower. The loan matured in November 1999.
Principal and accrued interest were not paid at maturity and the borrower
deeded the property to NRLP in lieu of foreclosure. No loss was incurred, as
the fair market value of the property, less estimated costs of sale, exceeded
the carrying value of the note.
During the first and second quarters of 1998, NRLP funded a $356,000 loan
to Ellis Development Company, Inc. The loan is secured by 4.5 acres of land in
Abilene, Texas. The loan bears interest at 14.0% per annum and had an original
maturity of April 1999. All principal and interest were due at maturity. In
August 1998, the loan was modified and extended, increasing the loan
commitment to $946,000, of which $942,000 has been funded and the maturity
date was extended to August 1999. In exchange for the modification and
extension the borrower pledged additional collateral consisting of the
personal guarantees of the principal owners of the borrower and a collateral
assignment of a $220,000 note receivable. In August 1999, the note was further
extended to August 2000. All other terms of the loan remained unchanged.

unimproved land in Riverside County, California. The loan matured in June
1999. The loan was not paid at maturity. The borrower deeded the collateral
property to NRLP in December 1999, in lieu of foreclosure. No loss was
incurred, as the fair market value of the collateral property, less estimated
costs of sale, exceeded the carrying value of the note.
In October 1998, NRLP funded three loans to JNC or affiliated entities. The
first JNC loan of $1.0 million was secured by a second lien on 3.5 acres of

NRLP ceased accruing interest on the loan in the second quarter of 1999. In
October 1999, a $724,000 paydown on the loan was received by NRLP, which was
applied first to accrued but unpaid interest due of $261,000 then to
principal, reducing the loan balance to $1.4 million. Negotiations are in

Morgan, a Bordeaux member, was elected a director of NMC, a wholly-owned

NOTE 12. STOCK OPTIONS
In January 1998, the Company's shareholders approved the 1997 Stock Plan
(the "Option Plan"). Under the Option Plan, options have been granted to
certain Company officers and key employees of BCM and its affiliates. The
Option Plan provides for options to purchase up to 300,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. All grants are determined by the Option Committee of
the Board of Directors. Options granted pursuant to the Option Plan are
exercisable, based upon vesting of 20% per year, beginning one year after the
date of grant and expire the earlier of three months after termination of
employment or ten years from the date of grant.

At December 31, 1999, 51,950 options were exercisable at an exercise price
of $15.00 per Common share.
In January 1999, the Company's stockholders approved the Director's Stock
Option Plan (the "Director's Plan") which provides for options to purchase up
to 40,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Options granted pursuant to
the Director's Plan are immediately exercisable and expire on the earlier of
the first anniversary of the date on which a Director ceases to be a Director
or ten years from the date of grant. Each Independent Director was granted an
option to purchase 1,000 Common shares at an exercise price of $16.25 per
share on January 11, 1999, the date stockholders approved the plan. On January
1, 2000, each Independent Director was granted an option to purchase 1,000
Common shares at an exercise price of $17.00 per Common share. Each
Independent Director will be awarded an option to purchase an additional 1,000
shares on January 1 of each year. At December 31, 1999, 3,000 options were
exercisable at $16.25 per Common share.
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations in accounting for
its Option Plans. All share options issued by the Company have exercise prices
equal to the market price of the shares at the dates of grant. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized for its option plans. Had compensation
cost for the Company's option plans been determined based on the fair value at
the grant dates consistent with the method of Statement of

NOTE 13. ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Although the 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 BCM, a contractual advisor
under the supervision of the Board. The duties of the advisor include, among
other things, locating, investigating, evaluating and recommending real estate
and mortgage loan investment and sales opportunities as well as financing and
refinancing sources. BCM as advisor also serves as a consultant in connection
with the Company's business plan and investment policy decisions made by the
Board.
BCM has been providing advisory services to the Company since February 6,
1989. BCM is a company owned by a trust for the benefit of the children of
Gene E. Phillips. Mr. Phillips serves as a representative of the trust for the
benefit of his children that 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. Karl L. Blaha, President and a Director of the Company
serves as President of BCM.
The Advisory Agreement provides that BCM shall receive base compensation at
the rate of 0.125% per month (1.5% on an annualized basis) of the Company's
Average Invested Assets. On October 23, 1991, based on the recommendation of
BCM, the Board approved a reduction in BCM's base advisory fee by 50%
effective October 1, 1991. This reduction remains in effect until the
Company's earnings for the four preceding quarters equals or exceeds $.50 per
share.
In addition to base compensation, the Advisory Agreement provides that BCM,
or an affiliate of BCM, receive an acquisition fee for locating, leasing or
purchasing real estate for the Company; a disposition fee for the sale of each
equity investment in real estate; a loan arrangement fee; an incentive fee
equal to 10% of net income for the year in excess of a 10% return on
stockholders' equity, and 10% of the excess of net capital gains over net
capital losses, if any; and a mortgage placement fee, on mortgage loans
originated or purchased.
The Advisory Agreement further provides that BCM shall bear the cost of
certain expenses of its employees not directly identifiable to the Company's
assets, liabilities, operations, business or financial affairs; and
miscellaneous administrative expenses relating to the performance of its
duties under the Advisory Agreement.
72
<PAGE>
AMERICAN REALTY TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
If and to the extent that the Company shall request BCM, or any director,
officer, partner or employee of BCM, to render services to the Company other
than those required to be rendered by BCM under the Advisory Agreement, such
additional services, if performed, will be compensated separately on terms
agreed upon between such party and the Company from time to time. The Company
has requested that BCM perform loan administration functions, and the Company
and BCM have entered into a separate agreement, as described below.
The Advisory Agreement automatically renews from year to year unless
terminated in accordance with its terms. Management believes that the terms of
the Advisory Agreement are at least as fair as could be obtained from
unaffiliated third parties. Since October 4, 1989, BCM has acted as loan
administration/servicing agent for the Company, under an agreement terminable
by either party upon thirty days' notice, under which BCM services the
Company's mortgage notes and receives as compensation a monthly fee of .125%
of the month-end outstanding principal balances of the mortgage notes
serviced.
NOTE 14. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Since February 1, 1990, affiliates of BCM have provided property management
services to the Company. Currently, Triad Realty Services, Ltd. ("Triad")
provides property management services for a fee of 5% or less of the monthly
gross rents collected on the properties under its management. Triad
subcontracts with other entities for property-level management services to the
Company at various rates. The general partner of Triad is BCM. The limited
partners of Triad are Syntek West, Inc. ("Syntek West"), which is a company
owned by Gene E. Phillips, and Mr. Phillips. Triad subcontracts the property-
level management of 19 of the Company's commercial properties (office
buildings, shopping centers and a merchandise mart) and its eight hotels to
Regis Realty, Inc. ("Regis"), which is a company owned by Syntek West. Regis
is entitled to receive property and construction management fees and leasing
commissions in accordance with the terms of its property-level management
agreement with Triad.

NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES
Financial statement income varies from federal tax return income,
principally due to the accounting for income and losses of investees, gains
and losses from asset sales, depreciation on owned properties, amortization of
discounts on notes receivable and the difference in the allowance for
estimated losses. In 1999, the Company utilized its remaining tax net
operating loss carryforwards.

NOTE 18. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Significant differences among the accounting policies of the operating
segments as compared to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements
principally involve the calculation and allocation of general and
administrative expenses. Management evaluates the performance of its operating
segments and allocates resources to them based on net operating income and
cash flow. Expenses that are not reflected in the segments are $17.1 million
in 1999 and $8.5 million in 1998 of general and administrative expenses.
Excluded from segment assets, are assets of $88.1 million in 1999 and $107.2
million in 1998, which are not identifiable with an operating segment. There
are no intersegment revenues and expenses and all business is conducted in the
United States. See NOTE 3. "NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE" and NOTE 5. "REAL
ESTATE."

NOTE 20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND LIQUIDITY
Liquidity. Although the Company anticipated that it would generate excess
cash from operations in 1999, such excess cash did not materialize and,
therefore, was not sufficient to discharge all of the Company's debt
obligations as they became due. The Company relied on additional borrowings
and land sales to meet its cash requirements. In 2000, the Company expects
that it will generate excess cash from operations, due to increased rental
rates and occupancy at its properties, however, such excess will not be
sufficient to discharge all of the Company's debt obligations as they mature.
The Company will rely on aggressive land sales, selected income producing
property sales and, to the extent necessary, additional borrowings to meet its
cash requirements.
Commitments. In March 1999, the Company reached agreement with the Class A
unitholders of Valley Ranch, L.P. to acquire their eight million Class A units
for $1.00 per unit. In 1999, three million units were purchased, an additional
one million units were purchased in January 2000 and the Company has committed
to purchase an additional two million units in each of May 2001 and May 2002.
See NOTE 11. "PREFERRED STOCK."

Litigation. The Company is involved in various lawsuits arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company's management the
outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material impact on the Company's
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
NOTE 21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January 2000, ART sold its 420 acre Duchense Bad Lands land parcel for
$43,000, receiving net cash of $42,000 after the payment of various closing
costs. A gain will be recognized on the sale.
Also in January 2000, ART sold a 1.1 acre tract of its Mason/Goodrich land
parcel for $129,000, receiving no net cash after paying down by $116,000 the
mortgage debt secured by such land parcel and the payment of various closing
costs. A gain will be recognized on the sale.
Further in January 2000, ART sold a 2.6 acre tract of its Nashville land
parcel for $405,000, receiving no net cash after paying down by $345,000 the

In March 2000, NRLP sold the 172 unit Summerwind Apartments in Reseda,
California, for $9.0 million, receiving net cash of $3.1 million after the
payment of various closing costs. The purchaser assumed the $5.6 million

Also in March 2000, NRLP sold the 159 unit Windtree Apartments also in
Reseda, California, for $8.4 million, receiving net cash of $2.9 million after
the payment of various closing costs. The purchaser assumed the $5.1 million

In addition to the foregoing officers, ART has several vice presidents and
assistant secretaries who are not listed herein.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Under the securities laws of the United States, ART's Directors, executive
officers, and any persons holding more than ten percent of ART's shares of
Common Stock are required to report their ownership and any changes in that
ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").
Specific due dates for these reports have been established and ART is required
to report any failure to file by these dates during 1999. All of these filing
requirements were satisfied by ART's Directors and executive officers and ten
percent holders. In making these statements, ART 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 Board of Directors is directly responsible for managing the
affairs of ART and for setting the policies which guide it, the day-to-day
operations of ART are performed by BCM, a contractual advisor under the
supervision of the Board. The duties of the advisor include, among other
things, investigating, evaluating and recommending real estate and mortgage
loan investment and sales opportunities as well as financing and refinancing
sources. BCM also serves as consultant in connection with ART's business plan
and investment policy decisions made by the Board.
92
<PAGE>
BCM has served as advisor to ART since February 6, 1989. BCM is a company
owned by a trust for the benefit of the children of Gene E. Phillips. Mr.
Phillips serves as a representative of the trust for the benefit of his
children 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. Karl L. Blaha, President and a Director of ART, also serves as
President of BCM, President of NMC, IORI and TCI. As of March 3, 2000, BCM
owned 6,008,867 shares of ART's Common Stock, approximately 56.9% of the
shares then outstanding.
The Advisory Agreement provides for the advisor to receive monthly base
compensation at the rate of 0.125% per month (1.5% on an annualized basis) of
Average Invested Assets. On October 23, 1991, based on the recommendation of
BCM, the Board approved a reduction in the advisor's base fee by 50% effective
October 1, 1991. This reduction remains in effect until ART's earnings for the
four preceding quarters equals or exceeds $.50 per share.
In addition to base compensation, BCM, or an affiliate of BCM, receives the
following forms of additional compensation:
(1) an acquisition fee for locating, leasing or purchasing real estate
for ART in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of compensation
customarily charged in similar arm's-length transactions or (ii) up to 6%
of the costs of acquisition, inclusive of commissions, if any, paid to non-
affiliated brokers;
(2) a disposition fee for the sale of each equity investment in real
estate in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of compensation
customarily charged in similar arm's-length transactions or (ii) 3% of the
sales price of each property, exclusive of fees, if any, paid to non-
affiliated brokers;
(3) a loan arrangement fee in an amount equal to 1% of the principal
amount of any loan made to ART arranged by BCM;
(4) an incentive fee equal to 10% of net income for the year in excess
of a 10% return on stockholders' equity, and 10% of the excess of net
capital gains over net capital losses, if any, realized from sales of
assets made under contracts entered into after April 15, 1989; and
(5) a mortgage placement fee, on mortgage loans originated or purchased,
equal to 50%, measured on a cumulative basis, of the total amount of
mortgage origination and placement fees on mortgage loans advanced by ART
for the fiscal year.
The Advisory Agreement further provides that BCM shall bear the cost of
certain expenses of its employees, excluding fees paid to ART's Directors;
rent and other office expenses of both BCM and ART (unless ART maintains
office space separate from that of BCM); costs not directly identifiable to
ART's assets, liabilities, operations, business or financial affairs; and
miscellaneous administrative expenses relating to the performance by BCM of
its duties under the Advisory Agreement.
If and to the extent that ART shall request BCM, or any director, officer,
partner or employee of BCM, to render services to ART other than those
required to be rendered by BCM under the Advisory Agreement, such additional
services, if performed, will be compensated separately on terms agreed upon
between such party and ART from time to time. ART has requested that BCM
perform loan administration functions, and ART and BCM have entered into a
separate agreement, as described below.
The Advisory Agreement automatically renews from year to year unless
terminated in accordance with its terms. ART's management believes that the
terms of the Advisory Agreement are at least as fair as could be obtained from
unaffiliated third parties.
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, BCM serves as the loan
administration/servicing agent for ART, under an agreement dated as of October
4, 1989, and terminable by either party upon thirty days' notice, under which
BCM services most of ART's mortgage notes and receives as compensation a
monthly fee of 0.125% of the month-end outstanding principal balances of the
mortgage loans serviced.
93
<PAGE>
Situations may develop in which the interests of ART are in conflict with
those of one or more Directors or officers in their individual capacities or
of BCM, or of their respective affiliates. In addition to services performed
for ART, as described above, BCM actively provides similar services as agent
for, and advisor to, other real estate enterprises, including persons and
entities involved in real estate development and financing, including IORI and
TCI. BCM also performs certain administrative services for NRLP and NOLP, the
operating partnership of NRLP, on behalf of NRLP's and NOLP's general partner,
NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART. The Advisory Agreement provides that
BCM may also serve as advisor to other entities.
As advisor, BCM is a fiduciary of ART's public investors. In determining to
which entity a particular investment opportunity will be allocated, BCM will
consider the respective investment objectives of each entity and the
appropriateness of a particular investment in light of each such entity's
existing mortgage note and real estate portfolios and business plan. To the
extent any particular investment opportunity is appropriate to more than one
such entity, such investment opportunity will be allocated to the entity that
has had funds available for investment for the longest period of time, or, if
appropriate, the investment may be shared among various entities. See ITEM 13.
"CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS--Certain Business
Relationships."
The directors and principal officers of BCM are set forth below:

is the son of Gene E. Phillips. Gene E. Phillips serves as a representative of
the trust established for the benefit of his children 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.
Property Management
Since February 1, 1990, affiliates of BCM have provided property management
services to ART. Currently, Triad Realty Services, Ltd. ("Triad") provides
such property management services for a fee of 5% or less of the monthly gross
rents collected on the properties under management. Triad subcontracts with
other entities for the provision of the property-level management services to
ART at various rates. The general partner of Triad is
94
<PAGE>
BCM. The limited partners of Triad are Syntek West, Inc. ("Syntek West"),
which is a company owned by Gene E. Phillips, and Mr. Phillips. Triad
subcontracts the property-level management of ART's eight hotels, 19 of its
commercial properties (office buildings, shopping centers and a merchandise
mart) to Regis, which is company owned by Syntek West. Regis is entitled to
receive property and construction management fees and leasing commissions in
accordance with terms of its property-level management agreement with Triad.
Real Estate Brokerage
Affiliates of BCM provide real estate brokerage services to ART and receive
brokerage commissions in accordance with the Advisory Agreement.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
ART has no employees, payroll or benefit plans and pays no compensation to
its executive officers. The Directors and executive officers of ART who are
also officers or employees of BCM are compensated by BCM. Such affiliated
Directors and executive officers perform a variety of services for BCM and the
amount of their compensation is determined solely by BCM. 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
compensation payable to BCM by ART.
ART's 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") was approved by
stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on January 19, 1998.
At December 31, 1999, there were 297,250 options outstanding under the Option
Plan.
The only direct remuneration paid by ART is to those Directors who are not
officers or employees of BCM or its affiliated companies. Each Independent
Director is compensated at the rate of $20,000 per year, plus $300 per Audit
Committee meeting attended. In addition, the Chairman of the Audit Committee
receives an annual fee of $500. During 1999, $81,744 was paid to Independent
Directors in total Directors' fees for all meetings as follows: Roy E. Bode,
$21,700; Collene C. Currie, $18,944; Al Gonzalez, $21,100; and Cliff Harris,
$20,000.
In January 1999, the Company's stockholders approved the Director's Stock
Option Plan (the "Director's Plan") which provides for options to purchase up
to 40,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Options granted pursuant to
the Director's Plan are immediately exercisable and expire on the earlier of
the first anniversary of the date on which a Director ceases to be a Director
or ten years from the date of grant. Each Independent Director was granted an
option to purchase 1,000 Common shares at an exercise price of $16.25 per
share on January 11, 1999, the date stockholders approved the plan. On January
1, 2000, each Independent Director was granted an option to purchase 1,000
Common shares at an exercise price of $17.00 per Common Share. Each
Independent Director will be awarded an option to purchase an additional 1,000
shares on January 1 of each year. At December 31, 1999, 3,000 options were
exercisable at $16.25 per Common share.

Performance Graph
The following graph compares the cumulative total stockholder return on
ART's shares of Common Stock with the Dow Jones Equity Market Index ("DJ
Equity Index") and the Dow Jones Real Estate Investment Index ("DJ Real Estate
Index"). The comparison assumes that $100 was invested on December 31, 1994 in
shares of ART's Common Stock and in each of the indices and further assumes
the reinvestment of all dividends. Past performance is not necessarily an
indicator of future performance.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Policies with Respect to Certain Activities
The By-laws of ART as amended, provide, in accordance with Georgia law, that
no contract or transaction between ART and one or more of its Directors or
officers, or between ART and any other corporation, partnership, association or
other organization in which one or more of its Directors or officers are
directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable
solely for that reason, or solely because the Director or officer is present at
or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof
which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or her
votes are counted for such purpose, if one or more of the following three
conditions are met: (1) the material facts as to his or her interest and as to
the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of
Directors or the committee, and Board or committee in good faith authorizes the
contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
disinterested Directors, even though the disinterested Directors constitute
less than a quorum; (2) the material facts as to his or her interest and as to
the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders
entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically
approved or ratified in good faith by vote of such stockholders; or (3) the
contract or transaction is fair to ART as of the time it is authorized,
approved or ratified by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or the
stockholders.
ART's policy is to have such contracts or transactions approved or ratified
by a majority of the disinterested Directors with full knowledge of the
character of such transactions, as being fair and reasonable to the
stockholders at the time of such approval or ratification under the
circumstances then prevailing. Such Directors also consider the fairness of
such transactions to ART. Management believes that, to date, such transactions
have represented the best investments available at the time and that they were
at least as advantageous to ART as other investments that could have been
obtained.
ART expects to enter into future transactions with entities the officers,
trustees, directors or stockholders of which are also officers, Directors or
stockholders of ART, if such transactions would be beneficial to the operations
of ART and consistent with ART's then-current investment objectives and
policies, subject to approval by a majority of disinterested Directors as
discussed above.
ART does not prohibit its officers, Directors, stockholders or related
parties from engaging in business activities of the types conducted by ART.
Certain Business Relationships
BCM, ART's advisor, is a company of which Messrs. Blaha, Endendyk, Holland,
Johnson and Starowicz serve as executive officers. BCM is a company owned by a
trust for the benefit of the children of Gene E. Phillips.
Karl L. Blaha, the President and a Director of ART, serves as the President
of BCM, IORI and TCI, and owes fiduciary duties to each of those entities as
well as to BCM under applicable law. IORI and TCI have the
98
<PAGE>
same relationship with BCM as does ART. In addition, BCM has been engaged to
perform certain administrative functions for NRLP and NOLP. Mr. Blaha, also
serves as a director and President of NMC, the general partner of NRLP and
NOLP.
Since February 1, 1990, ART has contracted with affiliates of BCM for
property management services. Currently, Triad provides such property
management services. The general partner of Triad is BCM. The limited partners
of Triad are Syntek West, which is a company owned by Gene E. Phillips, and
Mr. Phillips. Triad subcontracts the property-level management of 19 of ART's
commercial properties (office buildings, shopping centers and a merchandise
mart) and its eight hotels to Regis, which is a company owned by Syntek West.
Affiliates of BCM provide real estate brokerage services to ART and receive
brokerage commissions in accordance with the Advisory Agreement.
ART owns an equity interest in each of IORI, TCI and NRLP. In addition,
NOLP owns an equity interest in ART. See ITEM 1. "PROPERTIES--Investments in
Real Estate Investment Trusts and Real Estate Partnerships."
Related Party Transactions
BCM has entered into put agreements with certain holders of the Class A

the Series D Preferred Stock is $20.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid
dividends.
BCM has entered into put agreements with the holders of the Class A limited
partner units of Valley Ranch L.P. Such Class A units are convertible into

Stock for the prior 20 trading days. In March 1999, ART reached agreement with
the Class A unitholders of Valley Ranch, L.P. to acquire their eight million
Class A units for $1.00 per unit. In 1999, three million units were purchased,
an additional one million units were purchased in January 2000 and ART has
committed to purchase an additional two million units in May 2001 and May
2002.
BCM has entered into put agreements with the holders of the Class A units

units is $1.00 per unit and the put price for either the Series H Preferred
Stock or ART's Common Stock is 90% of the average daily closing price of ART's
Common Stock for the prior 20 trading days.
In October 1997, ART entered into leases with BCM and Carmel for space at
the One Hickory Center Office Building, construction of which was completed in
December 1998. The BCM lease, effective upon ART obtaining permanent financing
of the building, is for 50,574 sq. ft. (approximately 50% of the building),
has a term of ten years and provides for annual base rent of $974,000 per year
for the first year or $19.25 per sq. ft. increasing to $1.3 million in the
tenth year or $24.90 per sq. ft. The Carmel lease, also effective upon ART
obtaining permanent financing of the building, is for 25,278 sq. ft.
(approximately 25% of the building) has a term of 15 years, and provides for
annual base rent of $487,050 per year for the first year or $19.25 per sq. ft.
increasing to $964,000 in the fifteenth year or $38.15 per sq. ft. Rent under
the lease has not commenced.
In 1998 and 1999, GCLP funded $124.4 million of a $125.0 million loan
commitment to ART. The loan is secured by second liens on six properties in
Minnesota, Mississippi and Texas, by the stock of ART Holdings, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that owns 3,349,535 NRLP units of
limited partner interest, the stock of NMC, the general partner of NRLP,
678,475 NRLP units of limited partner interest owned by BCM, and 283,034 NRLP
units of limited partner interest owned by ART. The loan bears interest at
12.0% per annum, requires monthly payments of interest only and matures in
November 2003. In February and October 1999, ART made a total of $1.1 million
in paydowns on the loan. GCLP is consolidated for financial statement purposes
and the loan balance is eliminated in consolidation.

<PAGE>
In December 1998, in connection with the settlement of litigation relating
to the original formation of NRLP, NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART and
the general partner to NRLP, assumed responsibility for repayment of NRLP of
the $12.2 million paid by NRLP to settle the litigation. The loan bears
interest at a variable rate, currently 8.0% per annum, and requires annual
payments of accrued interest plus principal payments of $500,000 in each of
the first three years, $750,000 in each of the next three years, $1.0 million
in each of the next three years, with payment in full of the remaining balance
in the tenth year. The note is guaranteed by ART. The note matures upon the
earlier of the liquidation or dissolution of NRLP, NMC ceasing to be general
partner or ten years from March 31, 1999, the date of the first cash
distribution to the Moorman Class Members. NRLP is consolidated for financial
statement purposes and the loan balance is eliminated.
Beginning in April and through December 31, 1999, ART funded a $2.0 million
loan commitment to Lordstown, L.P. The loan is secured by a second lien on
land in Ohio and Florida, by 100% of the general and limited partner interest
in Partners Capital, Ltd., the 99% limited partner in Lordstown, L.P., and a
profits interest in subsequent land sales. A corporation controlled by Richard
D. Morgan, is the general partner of Lordstown, L.P. In October 1999, Mr.
Morgan was elected a director of NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART the
general partner of NRLP.
Also, beginning in April through December 31, 1999, ART funded a $2.4
million loan commitment to 261, L.P. The loan is secured by 100% of the
general and limited partner interest in Partners Capital, Ltd., the 99%
limited partner of 261, L.P., and a profits interest in subsequent land sales.
A corporation controlled by Richard D. Morgan, is the general partner of 261,
L.P. In October 1999, Mr. Morgan was elected a director of NMC, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the general partner of NRLP.
In February 1999, GCLP funded a $5.0 million unsecured loan to One Realco
Corporation, formerly Davister Corp., which at December 31, 1999, owned
approximately 15.8% of the outstanding shares of ART's common stock. The loan
bears interest at 12.0% per annum and matured in February 2000. All principal
and interest were due at maturity. The loan is guaranteed by BCM. In March
2000, GCLP received all accrued but unpaid interest and the loan's maturity
was extended to February 2002. All other terms of the loan remained unchanged.
In October 1999, GCLP funded a $4.7 million loan to Realty Advisors, Inc.,
the corporate parent of BCM. The loan is secured by a pledge of 100% of Realty
Advisors, Inc.'s interest in an insurance company. The loan bears interest at
a variable rate, currently 10.25% per annum and matures in November 2001. All
principal and interest are due at maturity.
In 1998, NRLP funded a $1.8 million loan commitment to Warwick of Summit,
Inc. ("Warwick"), of which $619,000 was used to repay a Warwick affiliate's
loan from NRLP. The loan was secured by a second lien on a shopping center in
Rhode Island, by 100% of the stock of the borrower and by the personal
guarantee of the principal shareholder of the borrower. The loan bears
interest at 14.0% per annum and has an extended maturity of December 1999. All
principal and interest are due at maturity. In December 1999, the borrower
sold the collateral property. NRLP received $810,000 of the net proceeds of
the sale, of which $386,000 was applied to accrued interest and the remaining
$424,000 was applied to principal. NRLP is to receive escrowed monies in 2000.
Through February 2000, $50,000 had been received. The loan is currently
unsecured. In October 1999, Richard D. Morgan, a Warwick shareholder, was
elected a director of NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART and the general
partner of NRLP.
Beginning in 1997 and through January 1999, NRLP funded a $1.6 million loan
commitment to Bordeaux Investments Two, L.L.C. ("Bordeaux"). The loan is
secured by (1) a 100% interest in Bordeaux, which owns a shopping center in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; (2) 100% of the stock of Bordeaux Investments One,
Inc., which owns 6.5 acres of improved land in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and
(3) the personal guarantees of the Bordeaux members. The loan bears interest
at 14.0% per annum. Until November 1998, the loan required monthly payments of
interest only at the rate of 12.0% per annum, with the deferred interest
payable at maturity in January 1999. In November 1998, the loan was modified
to allow payments based on monthly cash flow of the
100
<PAGE>
collateral property and the maturity date was extended to December 1999. In
the second quarter of 1999, the loan was again modified, increasing the loan
commitment to $2.1 million and an additional $33,000 was funded. In the third
quarter of 1999, an additional $213,000 was funded. The property has had no
cash flow, therefore, NRLP ceased accruing interest on the loan in the second
quarter of 1999. In October 1999, a $724,000 paydown on the loan was received
by NRLP, which was applied first to accrued but unpaid interest due of
$261,000 then to principal, reducing the loan balance to $1.4 million.
Negotiations are in process to further modify and extend the loan. In October
1999, Richard D. Morgan, a Bordeaux member, was elected a director of NMC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of ART and the general partner of NRLP.
In 1999, ART paid BCM and its affiliates $5.5 million in advisory and
mortgage servicing fees; $10.7 million in real estate brokerage commissions;
$941,000 in loan arrangement fees and $3.7 million in property and
construction management fees and leasing commissions, net of property
management fees paid to subcontractors, other than Regis. In addition, as
provided in the Advisory Agreement, in 1999 BCM received cost reimbursements
from ART of $5.8 million.

none of which has been issued or is outstanding;
<PAGE>
WHEREAS, 80,000 shares of such Special Stock have been previously

WHEREAS, 15,000,000 shares of such Special Stock have been previously

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors now desires to further amend the Articles

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to
the Board of Directors by Article Five of the Articles of Incorporation, the
Board of Directors hereby further amends the Articles of Incorporation to
provide for the issuance of a single series of Special Stock consisting of the
number of shares in such series as set forth below and, subject to the
provisions of Article Five of the Articles of Incorporation, hereby fixes and
determines with respect to such series the following designations, preferences
and relative participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof:
1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as
"Series I Cumulative Preferred Stock" (the "Series I Preferred Stock") and
each share of the Series I Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $2.00
per share and a preference on liquidation as specified in Section 5 below.
The number of shares constituting the Series I Preferred Stock shall be
500,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by the Board
of Directors by filing articles of amendment as provided in the Georgia
Business Corporation Code; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the
number of shares of Series I Preferred Stock to a number less than the
number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for
issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants.
<PAGE>
2. Dividends and Distributions.
(A) The holders of shares of Series I Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive, when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors and to the
extent permitted under the Georgia Business Corporation Code, out of
funds legally available for the purpose and in preference to and with
priority over dividends upon all Junior Securities, quarterly
cumulative dividends payable in arrears in cash on the first day of
each calendar quarter (or if such day is not a Business Day (as defined
in Paragraph 8(B) hereof) on the next following Business Day) (each
such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after
the first issuance of a share or a fraction of a share of Series I
Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the next highest
cent) equal to 6.0% per annum of the Liquidation Value (as defined in
Paragraph 5, but excluding from such Liquidation Value any accrued and
unpaid dividends and distributions thereon), assuming each year
consists of 360 days and each quarter consists of 90 days.
(B) Dividends shall shall begin to accrue (but not compound) cumulatively
on outstanding shares of the Series I Preferred Stock from the date of
issuance of such shares to and including the date on which the
Redemption Price (as defined in Section 8(A), below) of such shares is
paid, whether or not such dividends have been declared and whether or
not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation
legally available for the payment of such dividends. For purposes of
this Paragraph 2, the date on which the Corporation has issued any
share of Series I Preferred Stock is its date of issuance, regardless
of the number of times a transfer of such share is made on the stock
records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the
number of certificates that may be issued to evidence such shares
(whether by reason of transfer of such share or for any other reason).
Dividends paid on the shares of Series I Preferred Stock in an amount
less than the total amount of dividends at the time accrued and payable
on such shares shall be allocated among the holders of such shares in
proportion to their respective Unpaid Accrual Amounts, where for this
purpose the "Unpaid Accrual Amount" of a holder of shares of Series I
Preferred Stock at any time equals the total of accrued unpaid
dividends on all such shares held by such holder. The Board of
Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of
shares of Series I Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a
dividend or distribution declared thereon other than a quarterly
dividend paid on the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date immediately after
such dividend accrued; which record date shall be not more than 50 days
prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.
(C) So long as any shares of the Series I Preferred Stock are
<PAGE>
outstanding, the Corporation will not make, directly or indirectly, any
distribution (as such term is defined in the Georgia Business
Corporation Code) in respect of Junior Securities unless on the date
specified for measuring distributions in Section 14-2-640(e) of the
Georgia Business Corporation Code (i) all accrued dividends on the
Series I Preferred Stock for all past quarterly dividend periods have
been paid in full and the full amount of accrued dividends for the then
current quarterly dividend period has been paid or declared and a sum
sufficient for the payment thereof set apart and (ii) after giving
effect to such distribution (a) the Corporation would not be rendered
unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of
business and (b) the Corporation's total assets would not be less than
the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed,
if the Corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the
distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of
the holders of the Series I Preferred Stock as provided in these
Articles of Amendment. Dividends shall not be paid (in full or in part)
or declared and set apart for payment (in full or in part) on any
series of Special Stock (including the Series I Preferred Stock) for
any dividend period unless all dividends, in the case dividends are
being paid in full on the Series I Preferred Stock, or a ratable
portion of all dividends (i.e., so that the amount paid on each share
of each series of Special Stock as a percentage of total accrued and
unpaid dividends for all periods with respect to each such share is
equal), in the case dividends are not being paid in full on the Series
I Preferred Stock, have been or are, contemporaneously, paid and
declared and set apart for payment on all outstanding series of Special
Stock (including the Series I Preferred Stock) entitled thereto for
each dividend period terminating on the same or earlier date. If at any
time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then
accrued with respect to the Series I Preferred Stock, such payment will
be distributed ratably among the then holders of Series I Preferred
Stock so that an equal amount is paid with respect to each outstanding
share.
3. Voting Rights and Powers. The holders of shares of Series I Preferred
Stock shall have only the following voting rights:
(A) Except as may otherwise be specifically required by law under Section
14-2-1004 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code, the holders of the
shares of Series I Preferred Stock shall not have the right to vote
such stock, directly or indirectly, at any meeting of the shareholders
of the Corporation, and such shares of stock shall not be counted in
determining the total number of outstanding shares to constitute a
quorum at any meeting of shareholders;
(B) In the event that, under the circumstances, the holders of the Series I
Preferred Stock are required by law to vote upon any matter, the
approval of such series shall be deemed to have
<PAGE>
been obtained only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the shares of the Series I Preferred Stock then
outstanding;
(C) Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided by the Articles of
Incorporation or by law, holders of the Series I Preferred Stock shall
have no voting rights and their consent shall not be required for the
taking of any corporate action.
4. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series I Preferred Stock purchased or
otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall no
longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such
shares of stock, including the right, if any, to receive notices and to
vote, shall forthwith cease. All shares of Series I Preferred Stock
obtained by the Corporation shall be retired and canceled promptly
after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their
cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Special Stock and
may be reissued as part of a new series of Special Stock subject to the
conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the
Articles of Incorporation, or in any other Certificates of Designations
creating a series of Special Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise
required by law.
5. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, and after paying and
providing for the payment of all creditors of the Corporation, the
holders of shares of the Series I Preferred Stock then outstanding
shall be entitled, before any distribution or payment is made upon any
Junior Securities (defined to be and mean the Common Stock and any
other equity security of any kind which the Corporation at any time has
issued, issues or is authorized to issue if the Series I Preferred
Stock has priority over such securities as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up), to receive a liquidation
preference in an amount in cash equal to$10.00 per share plus an amount
equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon,
whether or not declared, to the date of such payment (the "Liquidation
Value"), whether such liquidation is voluntary or involuntary and the
holders of the Series I Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any
other or further distributions of the assets. If, upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the net
assets available for distribution shall be insufficient to permit
payment to the holders of all outstanding shares of all series of
Special Stock of the amount to which they respectively shall be
entitled, then the assets of the Corporation to be distributed to such
holders will be distributed ratably among them based upon the amounts
payable on the shares of each such series of Special Stock in the event
of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as
the case may be, in proportion to the full preferential amounts,
together with any and all arrearages to which they are
<PAGE>
respectively entitled. Upon any such liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, after the holders of Special Stock have
been paid in full the amounts to which they are entitled, the remaining
assets of the Corporation may be distributed to holders of Junior
Securities, including Common Stock, of the Corporation. The Corporation
will mail written notice of such liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, not less than twenty (20) nor more than fifty (50) days prior to
the payment date stated therein to each record holder of Series I
Preferred Stock. Neither the consolidation nor merger of the
Corporation into or with any other corporation or corporations, nor the
sale or transfer by the Corporation of less than all or substantially
all of its assets, nor a reduction in the capital stock of the
Corporation, nor the purchase or redemption by the Corporation of any
shares of its Special Stock or Common Stock or any other class of its
stock will be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation within the meaning of this Paragraph 5.
6. Ranking. The Series I Preferred Stock shall rank on a parity as to
dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up with all
other shares of Special Stock issued by the Corporation. The
Corporation shall not issue any shares of Special Stock of any series
which are superior to the Series I Preferred Stock as to dividends or
rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation
as long as any shares of the Series I Preferred Stock are issued and
outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of a
majority of such shares of Series I Preferred Stock then outstanding
voting separately as a class.
7. Redemption at the Option of the Holder. The shares of Series I
Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable at the option of a holder of
Series I Preferred Stock.
8. Redemption at the Option of the Corporation.
(A) The Corporation shall have the right to redeem all or a portion of the
Series I Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at any time and from
time to time. The redemption price of the Series I Preferred Stock
shall be an amount per share equal to the Liquidation Value (the
"Redemption Price")
(B) The Corporation may redeem all or a portion of any holder's shares of
Series I Preferred Stock by giving such holder not less than twenty
(20) days nor more than thirty (30) days notice thereof prior to the
date on which the Corporation desires such shares to be redeemed, which
date shall be a Business Day (defined herein to mean any day other than
a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in Dallas,
Texas are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to remain
closed) (the "Redemption Date"). Such notice shall be written and
shall be hand delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the holder (the
"Redemption Notice"). If mailed,
<PAGE>
such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the
United States Mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holder of shares
of Series I Preferred Stock at his address as it appears on the stock
transfer records of the Corporation. The Redemption Notice shall state
(i) the total number of shares of Series I Preferred Stock
held by such holder;
(ii) the total number of shares of the holder's Series I
Preferred Stock that the Corporation intends to redeem;
(iii) the Redemption Date and the Redemption Price; and
(iv) the place at which the holder(s) may obtain payment of
the applicable Redemption Price upon surrender of the share
certificate(s).
(C) If fewer than all shares of the Series I Preferred Stock at any
<PAGE>
time outstanding shall be called for redemption, such shares shall be
redeemed pro rata, by lot drawn or other manner deemed fair in the sole
discretion of the Board of Directors to redeem one or more such shares
without redeeming all such shares of Series I Preferred Stock. If such
Redemption Notice shall have been so mailed, on or before the
Redemption Date the Corporation may provide for payment of a sum
sufficient to redeem the applicable number of shares of Series I
Preferred Stock subject to redemption either by (i) setting aside the
sum required to be paid as the Redemption Price by the Corporation,
separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the account of
the holder(s) of the shares of Series I Preferred Stock to be redeemed
or (ii) depositing such sum in a bank or trust company (either located
in the state where the principal executive office of the Corporation is
maintained, such bank or trust company having a combined surplus of at
least $20,000,000 according to its latest statement of condition, or
such other bank or trust company as may be permitted by the Articles of
Incorporation, or by law) as a trust fund, with irrevocable
instructions and authority to the bank or trust company to give or
complete the notice of redemption and to pay, on or after the
Redemption Date, the applicable Redemption Price on surrender of
certificates evidencing the share(s) of Series I Preferred Stock so
called for redemption and, in either event, from and after the
Redemption Date (a) the share(s) of Series I Preferred Stock shall be
deemed to be redeemed, (b) such setting aside or deposit shall be
deemed to constitute full payment for such shares(s), (c) such share(s)
so redeemed shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, (d) the
holder(s) thereof shall cease to be a shareholder of the Corporation
with respect to such share(s), and (e) such holder(s) shall have no
rights with respect thereto except the right to receive the Redemption
Price for the applicable shares. Any interest on the funds so deposited
shall be paid to the Corporation. Any and all such redemption deposits
shall be irrevocable except to the following extent: any funds so
deposited which shall not be required for the redemption of any shares
of Series I Preferred Stock because of any prior sale or purchase by
the Corporation other than through the redemption process, subsequent
to the date of deposit but prior to the Redemption Date, shall be
repaid to the Corporation forthwith and any balance of the funds so
deposited and unclaimed by the holder(s) of any shares of Series I
Preferred Stock entitled thereto at the expiration of one calendar year
from the Redemption Date shall be repaid to the Corporation upon its
request or demand therefor, and after any such repayment of the
holder(s) of the share(s) so called for redemption shall look only to
the Corporation for payment of the Redemption Price thereof. All shares
of Series I Preferred Stock redeemed shall be canceled and retired and
no shares shall be issued in place thereof, but such shares shall be
restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Special
Stock.
(D) On or before the Redemption Date, the holder whose shall redeem
<PAGE>
such Series I Preferred Stock hereunder shall surrender the certificate
or certificates representing such shares, duly endorsed or assigned
(unless such endorsement or assignment be waived by the Corporation),
to the Corporation by mail, courier or personal delivery at the
Corporation's principal executive office or other location so
designated in the Redemption Notice, and upon the Redemption Date the
Redemption Price shall be payable to the order of the person whose name
appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof, and
each surrendered certificate shall be canceled and retired. In the
event fewer than all of the shares represented by such certificates are
redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed
shares.
(E) If the Redemption Notice is not withdrawn prior to one Business Day
before the Redemption Date, and if on or prior to the Redemption Date
the Redemption Price is either paid or made available for payment, then
notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of
the Series I Preferred Stock so called for redemption have not been
surrendered, (i) all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith
after the Redemption Date cease and terminate, to the full extent
permitted by applicable law, except only the right of the holders to
receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their
certificates therefor, and (ii) to the full extent permitted by
applicable law, such shares shall no longer be deemed outstanding for
any purpose.
9. Sinking Fund. The Corporation shall not be required to maintain any
so-called "sinking fund" for the retirement on any basis of the Series
I Preferred Stock.
10. Fractional Shares. The Series I Preferred Stock may be issued in
fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to
such holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive
dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all
other rights of holders of shares of Series I Preferred Stock.
11. Notice. Any notice or request made to the Corporation in connection
with the Series I Preferred Stock shall be given, and shall
conclusively be deemed to have been given and received three Business
Days following deposit thereof in writing, in the U.S. mails, certified
mail, return receipt requested, duly stamped and addressed to the
Corporation, to the attention of its General Counsel, at its principal
executive offices (which shall be deemed to be the address most
recently provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as
its principal executive offices for so long as the Corporation is
required to file reports with the SEC).
