INTRODUCTION

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated  statements of operations for the
year ended  December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended  September  30, 1998 are
presented  as if the Prior  Acquisitions,  the  Offering,  the  Highland  Square
Acquisition  and the  application  of the net  proceeds of the  Offering all had
occurred on January 1, 1997.

The unaudited  condensed  consolidated  balance sheet of United Investors Realty
Trust and  Subsidiaries as of September 30, 1998 already reflects the effects of
the Prior Acquisitions,  the Offering, the Highland Square Acquisition,  and the
application  of the net proceeds of the  Offering as each of these  transactions
occurred prior to September 30, 1998.

The unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated  statements of operations should
be read in  conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial  statements of United
Investors Realty Trust ("UIRT"), including the notes thereto, included in UIRT's
Registration  Statement  on Form S-11 dated  March 5, 1998 and UIRT's  Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter  ended  September  30,  1998.  The pro forma
condensed  consolidated  statements  of operations do not purport to project the
Company's results of operations as of any future date or for any future period.

                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - THE TRANSACTIONS

The pro forma  adjustments  described  subsequently give effect to the following
transactions  as if  they  were  all  completed  on  January  1,  1997  for  the
accompanying unaudited condensed  consolidated  statements of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

The Offering

On March 16, the Company  completed  its initial  public  offering of  7,600,000
common shares of beneficial interest. The shares were sold at $10 per share, and
offering  costs  aggregated  approximately  $6,663,354.  On April 6,  1998,  the
underwriters exercised their over allotment option for the purchase of 1,000,000
common shares of beneficial interest. These shares were sold at the option price
of $10 per share,  with related  offering cost totaling  approximately  $700,000
(collectively,  the "Offering").  Proceeds from the Offering were used to retire
debt of $16,392,755, acquire properties (see Prior Acquisitions and Colony Plaza
Acquisition below),  redeem preferred shares for $1,068,226,  redeem convertible
subordinated notes for $212,400, acquire minority interests in real estate joint
ventures for $1,457,239 and for general corporate purposes.

The Prior Acquisitions

In  conjunction  with the  Offering,  the  Company  planned  and  completed  the
acquisition of eight neighborhood shopping centers (the IPO Acquisitions),  four
of which are in Houston,  Texas, and one each in Dallas,  Texas, Tampa, Florida,
Fort Lauderdale,  Florida,  and Phoenix,  Arizona.  Four of the IPO acquisitions
were acquired in February  1998,  two were acquired in March 1998,  and two were
acquired in May 1998.

The eight  properties  were purchased for a combined total of  $72,189,429.  The
Company  paid cash of  $43,251,946,  assumed  debt of  $26,551,543  (with  fixed
interest rates ranging from 8.25% to 10.75%),  and issued partnership units with
a value of  $2,385,940.  With the purchase of Town 'n Country,  a single purpose
partnership was formed and the Company issued partnership units to the seller of
the  property.  The Company  has a 99%  interest  in the  partnership,  which is
consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

In addition to the IPO Acquisitions, the Company acquired the Big Curve Shopping
Center on May 27, 1998.  Big Curve is a 126,400  square foot shopping  center in
Yuma,  Arizona,  and  was  acquired  for  approximately  $8,850,000,   including
$5,965,129  of assumed  debt.  The Company  acquired the Colony  Plaza  Shopping
Center on July 20, 1998. Colony Plaza is a 26,800 square foot shopping center in
Houston,  Texas,  and  was  acquired  for  approximately  $4,195,000,  including
$3,187,371 of assumed debt.

The  IPO  Acquisitions,   the  Big  Curve  Acquisition,  and  the  Colony  Plaza
Acquisition, taken together hereafter are referred to as the Prior Acquisitions.

The Highland Square Acquisition

The Company  acquired the Highland  Square  Shopping Center (the Highland Square
Acquisition)  on September  22, 1998.  Highland  Square is a 64,171  square foot
shopping center in Sugar Land, Texas(a suburb of Houston),  and was acquired for
approximately $7,685,600 including $4,438,456 of assumed debt.

Board of Directors
United Investors Realty Trust

We have audited the  accompanying  Statement of Revenue and Certain  Expenses of

1997. The Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses is the responsibility of the
Property's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on this
statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses is free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the Statement of Revenue and Certain
Expenses.  An audit also includes  assessing the accounting  principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
presentation of the Statement of Revenue and Certain  Expenses.  We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying  Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses was prepared for the
purpose  of  complying  with the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  for inclusion in the Current  Report on Form 8-K of United
Investors  Realty  Trust as  described  in Note 1, and is not  intended  to be a

In our opinion,  the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses referred to above
presents  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the revenue and certain  expenses

               Notes to Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses

                        Year ended December 31, 1997 and
                   Six Months ended June 30, 1998 (unaudited)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  accompanying  Statement  of Revenue  and  Certain  Expenses  relates to the
operations  of  Highland  Square  Shopping  Center  (the  "Property"),  a 64,171
square-foot shopping center located in Sugar Land, Texas.

United Investors Realty Trust (the "Company") acquired the Property on September
22, 1998.

The accompanying  Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses was prepared for the
purpose  of  complying  with the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  for  inclusion  in the  Current  Report on Form 8-K of the
Company. The accompanying statement excludes certain items not comparable to the
proposed future operations of the Property,  including  primarily  depreciation,
amortization,   mortgage   interest   expense,   and  certain  owner   expenses.
Consequently,  the statement is not  representative  of the actual operations of
the Property for the periods presented nor indicative of future operations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE AND EXPENSE RECOGNITION

Revenue  is  recognized  in the  period  in which  it is  earned.  Expenses  are
recognized in the period incurred.

Certain leases of the Property  provide for tenant  occupancy during periods for
which no rent is due or where minimum rent payments  increase during the term of
the lease. The Property records rental income for the full term of each lease on
a straight-line basis.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The  preparation of the Statement of Revenue and Certain  Expenses in conformity
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to make
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of revenue  and
certain expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ from
these estimates.
