AMERICAN REALTY TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INCOME OPPORTUNITY
INVESTORS, INC. INVESTORS, INC. REALTY INVESTORS, INC.

To the stockholders of American Realty Investors, Inc.,
Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. and Income Opportunity Realty Investors,
Inc.:

As the result of a court approved settlement of litigation involving,
among others, a subsidiary of American Realty Investors, Inc. ("ARL"),
Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. ("TCI") and Income Opportunity Realty
Investors, Inc. ("IOT"), ARL has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common
stock of TCI and IOT through the merger of TCI and IOT with two subsidiaries of
ARL. The mergers will not be consummated unless, in each case, sufficient cash
is available to ARL to pay the cash merger consideration due as a result of the
mergers. If the mergers are approved by the ARL, TCI and IOT stockholders and
sufficient cash is available to ARL, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ARL will be
merged into TCI and IOT, with TCI and IOT being the surviving corporations (the
mergers and related transactions are collectively referred to as the business
combination).

In order to complete the business combination, we must, among other
things, obtain the required approval of the ARL, TCI and IOT stockholders.
However, if the stockholders of ARL and only one of either TCI or IOT approve
their merger, that merger alone may be consummated. In addition to being a
condition to the settlement of the lawsuit, we believe that the business
combination will benefit the stockholders of all three companies and we ask for
your support in voting for the mergers at the special meetings.

When the mergers are completed, holders of TCI's common stock (other
than ARL and its affiliates) will receive $17.50 in cash less any dividends
declared and paid on the TCI common stock after January 2, 2002 or, if they
affirmatively elect, one share of newly issued ARL Series G preferred stock for
each share of TCI common stock they currently own. IOT stockholders (other than
ARL and its affiliates) will receive $19.00 in cash less any dividends declared
and paid on the IOT common stock after January 2, 2002 or, if they affirmatively
elect, one share of newly issued ARL Series H preferred stock for each share of
IOT common stock they currently own. Each share of TCI common stock held by
certain affiliates of ARL will be converted into one share of the Series G
preferred stock. Shares of the TCI common stock held by ARL and its affiliates
will be cancelled. Each share of IOT common stock held by certain affiliates of
ARL will be converted into one share of the Series H preferred stock. Shares of
IOT common stock held by ARL, its affiliates and TCI will be cancelled.

1,168,774 shares of the Series G preferred stock and 106,802 shares of
the Series H preferred stock will be issued to affiliates of ARL. In the event
that each stockholder of TCI and IOT, other than persons or entities affiliated
with ARL, elects to receive shares of the Series G preferred stock or the Series
H preferred stock, respectively, persons not affiliated with ARL will hold
approximately 2,853,080 shares of Series G preferred stock and 576,480 shares of
Series H preferred stock, representing approximately 70.9% and 84.4% of all
issued and outstanding shares of the Series G preferred stock and the Series H
preferred stock, respectively.

The boards of directors of ARL, TCI and IOT have approved the mergers
and recommend that their respective stockholders vote for the merger proposals
as described in the attached materials. You should also consider the matters
discussed under "Risk Factors" beginning on page 24 of this document.

ARL stockholders will vote at ARL's special meeting on Wednesday, March
27, 2002, at 2:00 p.m., local time, at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite 300, Dallas,
Texas.

TCI stockholders will vote at TCI's special meeting on Wednesday, March
27, 2002, at 3:00 p.m., local time, at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite 300, Dallas,

IOT stockholders will vote at IOT's special meeting on Wednesday, March
27, 2002, at 4:00 p.m., local time, at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite 300, Dallas,

JOINT PROXY STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS

This joint proxy statement and prospectus is being used to solicit
votes with respect to stockholder meetings for each of American Realty
Investors, Inc., Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. and Income Opportunity
Realty Investors, Inc. called to approve a proposed business combination of
those companies. "We", "us" and "our" as used in this joint proxy statement and
prospectus means American Realty Investors, Inc., Transcontinental Realty
Investors, Inc. and Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc.

SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information from this joint proxy
statement and prospectus and may not contain all information that is important
to you. You should read carefully this entire joint proxy statement and
prospectus and the documents to which we have referred you. The following
summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed information
appearing elsewhere in this joint proxy statement and prospectus.

OVERVIEW

As part of this joint proxy statement and prospectus, three public
companies, American Realty Investors, Inc. ("ARL"), Transcontinental Realty
Investors, Inc. ("TCI") and Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IOT"),
are seeking stockholder approval of two proposed mergers whereby TCI and IOT
will become subsidiaries of ARL. Together, these mergers are often referred to
as the "business combination." The business combination is the result of a court
approved settlement that is described below under "The Olive Settlement."

THE PARTIES

The material parties that are discussed throughout this joint proxy
statement and prospectus statement include the following:

AMERICAN REALTY INVESTORS, INC. ("ARL") is a publicly traded Nevada
corporation engaged primarily in the business of owning and operating a
portfolio of real estate and financing real estate and real estate
activities through investments in mortgage loans. ARL holds a diverse
portfolio of equity real estate located across the U.S., including office
buildings, apartments, hotels, shopping centers and developed and
undeveloped land. The day-to-day operations of ARL are managed by Basic
Capital Management, Inc. ("BCM"), a contractual advisor, under the
supervision of ARL's board of directors.

TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC. ("TCI") is a publicly traded
Nevada corporation engaged primarily in the business of owning and
operating a portfolio of real estate and financing real estate and real
estate activities through investments in mortgage loans similar to ARL.
The day-to-day operations of TCI are performed by BCM, a contractual
advisor, under the supervision of TCI's board of directors.

INCOME OPPORTUNITY REALTY INVESTORS, INC. ("IOT") is a publicly traded
Nevada corporation primarily engaged in the business of owning and
operating a portfolio of real estate and financing real estate and real
estate activities through investments in mortgage

loans. IOT is a real estate investment trust. The day-to-day operations of
IOT are performed by BCM, a contractual advisor, under the supervision of
IOT's board of directors.

BASIC CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. ("BCM") is a contractual advisor that is
responsible for managing the affairs of ARL, TCI and IOT and for advising
the respective boards on setting the policies which guide ARL, TCI and
IOT. The day-to-day operations of ARL, TCI and IOT are performed by BCM
under the supervision of each respective board. Among other things, BCM
locates, investigates, evaluates and recommends real estate and mortgage
loan investments and sales opportunities, as well as financing and
refinancing sources. BCM also serves as a consultant to ARL's, TCI's and
IOT's boards of directors in connection with the business plan and
investment policy decisions made by each board.

GENE E. PHILLIPS ("MR. PHILLIPS") serves as the representative of a trust
for the benefit of his children that indirectly owns BCM. As
representative of the trust, Mr. Phillips had, until June 2000,
substantial contact with the management of BCM and input with respect to
BCM's performance of advisory services for ARL, TCI and IOT. Mr. Phillips
does not own any stock of ARL, TCI or IOT.

ARL, TCI, IOT and BCM have substantially the same management and have
ownership affiliations as seen in the chart below.

located at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75234. The telephone
number for each corporation is 469-522-4200.

THE OLIVE SETTLEMENT

The business combination being proposed results from a court approved
settlement of a lawsuit styled Jack Olive, et. al. v. Gene E. Phillips, et al,
Case No. C89 4331 MHP pending in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California (the "Olive Litigation"). The claims in the
Olive Litigation related to the operation and management of TCI and IOT.
Defendants in the lawsuit included, among others, American Realty Trust, Inc. (a
subsidiary of ARL, "ART"), TCI, IOT, BCM and Mr. Phillips.

TCI and IOT are parties to a 1990 settlement of litigation known as the
Olive Settlement. The original settlement has been modified and the modification
has been the subject of an amendment. Periodically, since 1990, designated
Settlement Counsel, George Donaldson, has challenged the compliance of the
parties under the Olive Settlement, the modification and the amendment and has
unsuccessfully sought to remove BCM from its advisory position to TCI, IOT and
other entities. Mr. Donaldson also sought to, from time to time, remove some or
all of the directors of TCI, IOT and other entities.

The parties to the lawsuit acknowledged that further and substantial
expense and time would be necessary to litigate the matters raised by the
pending requests made by Settlement Counsel that the court exercise its retained
jurisdiction over the parties' prior settlement agreements. Thus, in order to
finally put an end to the Olive Litigation and to avoid the anticipated expense,
inconvenience, distraction, and risk of further legal proceedings, the parties
concluded that it was desirable to compromise, settle and discharge all claims
arising from such matters while at the same time devising a mechanism to enable
all stockholders of TCI and IOT to convert their common stock in TCI or IOT into
cash or, if they affirmatively elected, preferred stock of ARL.

To that end, after arm's length negotiations, TCI, IOT and ARL, as the
parent corporation of ART, entered into the Second Amendment to the Modification
of Stipulation of Settlement (the "Settlement Agreement"), dated October 17,
2001. The Settlement Agreement provides that if the stockholders so approve, TCI
and IOT will become subsidiaries of ARL through the mechanism of freeze-out
mergers. As part of the mergers, stockholders (other than Mr. Phillips, BCM, ARL
and ART (collectively the "Affiliated Entities") or their affiliates) are to
receive $19 per share in cash for IOT common stock or $17.50 per share in cash
for TCI common stock, which amounts shall be reduced by any dividends paid after
January 2, 2002 on the TCI or IOT common stock, respectively. In the mergers,
the stockholders of TCI and IOT not affiliated with the Affiliated Entities have
the opportunity (but no obligation) to affirmatively elect to receive shares of
preferred stock of ARL having a liquidation value of $21.50 per share in
exchange for IOT common stock or $20 per share in exchange for TCI common stock,
which amounts shall be reduced by any dividends paid after January 2, 2002 on
the TCI or IOT common stock, respectively. In the mergers, the Affiliated
Entities will receive shares of the ARL preferred stock for the shares of common
stock of TCI and IOT held by them, provided, however, that shares of TCI and IOT
common stock held by ARL and its subsidiaries will be cancelled. The purchase
prices and liquidation values have been established under the Settlement
Agreement. The cash consideration to be paid to the non-affiliated TCI and IOT
stockholders is to be guaranteed by and becomes an obligation of the Affiliated
Entities. The mergers are to occur only after the satisfaction of certain
conditions, including the approval of each merger by a majority of the shares
held by the non-affiliated TCI and IOT stockholders, as applicable, who vote by
in person or by proxy at meetings of stockholders called for that purpose. The
ARL board of directors has determined that it will not enter into the TCI and
IOT mergers until, in each case, sufficient cash is available to ARL, either
from its own resources or from TCI or IOT immediately after the mergers, to pay
the cash merger consideration due as a result of the mergers.

In order to proceed with the mergers under the Settlement Agreement,
the Affiliated Entities have been required to perform certain matters which are
described in this joint proxy

statement and prospectus, including filing of materials with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") and completion of that process prior to a specified
date. The other requirements were:

o obtaining a fairness opinion from a reputable investment
banking firm that the consideration to be paid to the
non-affiliated TCI and IOT stockholders in each merger (or the
tender offers described below) is fair from a financial point
of view, and

o placement of a $1,000,000 deposit in escrow to cover the costs
and fees necessary to compel the payment of any liquidated
damages.

If the SEC review process of this joint proxy statement and prospectus
was not completed by a specified date, unless extended by the consent of
settlement counsel, the Affiliated Entities would be in default under the
Settlement Agreement and liable for liquidated damages equal to $5 for each
share of TCI and IOT common stock. The Affiliated Entities may cure that default
by filing tender offers for all of the shares of IOT and TCI stock held by
non-affiliated stockholders, with respect to the cash option, at a cash price
equal to or better than the amount specified under the mergers ($19 per share
for IOT common stock, and $17.50 per share for TCI common stock). If the tender
offers are substantially completed within 120 days following the making of such
tender offers, the Affiliated Entities will be deemed to have fully complied
with the Settlement Agreement.

Under the Settlement Agreement, except to the extent necessary to
obtain the requisite quorum of any vote of stockholders in connection with the
mergers, the Affiliated Entities and TCI and IOT will not engage in any
solicitation activity directed at the non-affiliated stockholders in any manner
which would have the effect of causing a non-affiliated stockholder to accept
preferred stock rather than cash.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

1.Q: WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED? (SEE PAGE 71)

A: Two separate mergers are being proposed as the result of the
Settlement Agreement. In the TCI merger, a newly formed subsidiary of ARL would
be merged with and into TCI and TCI would become a subsidiary of ARL. In the IOT
merger, a newly formed subsidiary of ARL would be merged with and into IOT and
IOT would become a subsidiary of ARL.

2.Q: WHAT WILL I RECEIVE IN THE MERGER? (SEE PAGES 71 TO 72)

A: Each share of TCI common stock will be converted into $17.50 in cash
(less the amount of any dividends paid by TCI on TCI common stock after January
2, 2002) or, at the affirmative election of the TCI stockholder, one share of
ARL 10% Series G Cumulative Convertible preferred stock (the "Series G preferred
stock"). Outstanding shares of TCI common stock held by ARL or its subsidiaries
will be canceled and shares of TCI common stock held by BCM and other affiliates
of ARL will be exchanged for shares of Series G preferred stock. If all of the
holders of the TCI common stock other than BCM and other affiliates of ARL elect
to convert their shares of TCI common stock to Series G preferred stock, they
will own approximately 70.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Series
G preferred stock. BCM and other affiliates of ARL would own the remaining
shares of Series G preferred stock.

Preferred stock of TCI outstanding prior to the mergers will continue
to be outstanding after the mergers on the same terms and conditions.

Each share of IOT common stock will be converted into $19.00 in cash
(less the amount of any dividends paid by IOT on IOT common stock after January
2, 2002) or, at the affirmative election of the IOT stockholder, one share of
the ARL 10% Series H Cumulative Convertible preferred stock (the "Series H
preferred stock"). Outstanding shares of IOT held by ARL, its subsidiaries or
TCI will be canceled and each share of IOT common stock held by BCM and other
affiliates of ARL will be exchanged for shares of Series H preferred stock. If
all of the holders of IOT common stock other than BCM and other affiliates of
ARL elect to convert their shares to Series H preferred stock, they would own
approximately 84.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Series H
preferred stock. BCM and other affiliates of ARL would own the remaining shares
of Series H preferred stock.

ARL will apply to list the Series G and Series H preferred stock, and
the shares of ARL common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G and
Series H preferred stock, on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), however, the
Exchange may not accept the shares for listing.

3.Q: WHAT ARE THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE TCI MERGER AND THE IOT MERGER? (SEE
PAGES 71 TO 72)

A: Copies of the forms of agreements and plans of merger that have been
approved by each board of directors as applicable are attached as APPENDIX A and
APPENDIX B to this joint proxy statement and prospectus.

According to the terms of the agreements and plans of merger, two
recently formed wholly-owned subsidiaries of ARL will be merged with and into
TCI and IOT, respectively. TCI and IOT will survive the merger as subsidiaries
of ARL. The two acquisitions are

not dependent upon each other, and if the stockholders of one company do not
approve their merger, only the approved merger will be consummated.

The execution and delivery of the merger agreements and the closings of
the transactions in connection therewith cannot take place until the conditions
of the merger agreements have been met. Although ARL, TCI and IOT boards of
directors have approved the terms of the merger agreements, the merger
agreements will not be executed until after the stockholders approve the mergers
and other conditions precedent thereto. The material conditions include
obtaining the approval of the stockholders of TCI or IOT of their respective
mergers. Additionally, ARL has determined not to enter into the merger
agreements unless it has sufficient cash available to it to pay the cash merger
consideration.

CONDITIONS OF THE MERGERS. Completion of the mergers is dependent upon
the fulfillment of a number of conditions, including the following material
conditions:

o all necessary consents from third parties having been obtained

o no restraining order, injunction, order or decree of any court
having been issued

o the filing by the parties of all documents and instruments
required to be filed with governmental entities

o no action having been taken by any state or federal government
or agency which would prevent the merger or impose material
conditions on the merger

o Although not part of the merger agreements, ARL has determined
not to enter into the merger agreements unless it has
sufficient cash available to it, either from its own resources
or from TCI or IOT immediately after the mergers, to pay the
cash merger consideration

The merger agreements may be terminated by one or more parties at any
time prior to the effective time of the mergers if specific events occur.

4.Q: WHAT ARE THE TERMS OF THE SERIES G AND SERIES H PREFERRED STOCK? (SEE PAGE
184)

A: The Series G and Series H preferred shares will have a liquidation
value of $20 and $21.50 per share, respectively, and will be convertible into
ARL common stock during a 75 day period commencing on the 15th day after ARL
publicly files its first Form 10-Q with the SEC following the consummation of
the respective TCI and IOT mergers. The liquidation value of the Series G and
Series H preferred shares shall be reduced by any dividends paid on the TCI and
IOT common stock, respectively, after January 2, 2002 and prior to conversion.
During such conversion period, each share of Series G preferred stock shall be
convertible at the election of such holder into 2.5 shares of ARL Common Stock,
and each share of Series H preferred stock shall be convertible at the election
of such holder into 2.25 shares of ARL Common Stock. ARL may provide notice of
its intention to redeem the Series G or Series H preferred stock no earlier than
45 days after ARL publicly files its first Form 10-Q with the SEC following the

consummation of the TCI and IOT mergers, respectively. ARL may redeem any or all
of the Series G and Series H preferred stock upon payment of the liquidation
value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends by giving the holder thereof not
less than 45 days nor more than 60 days notice thereof prior to the date on
which ARL desires such shares redeemed.

The holders of Series G and Series H preferred stock do not vote for
the election of directors or on any matter except: (i) as otherwise provided by
law, (ii) with respect to an amendment to ARL's articles of incorporation or
bylaws that would materially alter or change the existing terms of the Series G
and Series H preferred stock, respectively, (iii) as to the Series G preferred
stock, at any time or times for the election of two directors when all or any
portion of the dividends on the Series G preferred stock for any six quarterly
dividends, whether or not consecutive, shall be in arrears and unpaid; and (iv)
as to the Series H preferred stock, at any time or times for the election of two
directors when all or any portion of the dividends on the Series H preferred
stock for any six quarterly dividends, whether or not consecutive, shall be in
arrears and unpaid. In the event of (iii) above, the number of directors
constituting the board of directors of ARL shall be increased by two and the
holders of Series G preferred stock, voting separately as a class, shall be
entitled to elect two directors to fill the newly created directorships with
each holder being entitled to one vote in the election for each share of Series
G preferred stock held. In the event of (iv) above, the number of directors
constituting the board of directors of ARL shall be increased by two and the
holders of Series H preferred stock, voting separately as a class, shall be
entitled to elect two directors to fill the newly created directorships with
each holder being entitled to one vote in the election for each share of Series
H preferred stock held. The full text of the description of the Series G and
Series H preferred shares is set forth in APPENDIX C and D, respectively. For a
comparison of the differences in the Series G and Series H preferred stock and
the TCI common stock and IOT common stock, respectively, see "Comparison of
Ownership of Shares."

5.Q: WHAT IS THE INTENDED ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF THE TCI MERGER AND IOT MERGER?
(SEE PAGE 74)

A: ARL will account for the mergers under the purchase method of
accounting.

6.Q: WILL I RECOGNIZE INCOME TAX GAIN OR LOSS IN THE TCI MERGER OR IOT MERGER?
(SEE PAGE 67)

A: The mergers involve numerous federal income tax consequences to you,
depending in part on whether you are a common stockholder of TCI or IOT.

Each merger will be a taxable event for United States federal income
tax purposes. The TCI and IOT stockholders who do not affirmatively elect to
receive preferred stock in the mergers will recognize gain or loss equal to the
difference between (i) the amount of cash they receive in connection with the
merger and (ii) their tax basis in their stock of TCI common stock or IOT common
stock, as the case may be. The TCI and IOT stockholders who affirmatively elect
to receive preferred stock in connection with the mergers will recognize gain or
loss equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the shares of
preferred stock received in the merger and (ii) their tax basis in their shares
of TCI common stock or IOT common stock, as the case may be. The mergers will
not be a taxable event to the ARL stockholders. We urge you to

carefully read the complete explanation of the tax consequences of the mergers
on pages 66 through 68.

TAX MATTERS ARE VERY COMPLICATED, AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE
MERGER TO STOCKHOLDERS WILL DEPEND UPON THE FACTS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL'S
SITUATION. WE URGE YOU TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR FOR A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF
THE MERGER'S TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU.

7.Q: ARE THERE RISKS INVOLVED IN THE MERGERS? (SEE PAGE 24)

A: Yes. In considering whether or not to vote in favor of your merger,
ARL, TCI and IOT stockholders should carefully consider all of the information
set forth in this joint proxy statement and prospectus and, in particular,
should evaluate the factors set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" herein.
These factors include, among other things:

RISKS RELATED TO THE MERGERS

o SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF CASH ARE REQUIRED FOR THE MERGERS. A
substantial amount of cash is required to fund the cash
payments to the stockholders of TCI and IOT in the mergers and
to pay expenses associated with the mergers. If ARL, TCI and
IOT are not able to raise the cash, the mergers may be delayed
or abandoned.

o LENDER CONSENT MAY BE NECESSARY. ARL, TCI and IOT have each
borrowed substantial amounts of money to buy and develop real
estate. If they are unable to get any necessary lender
consents or have disagreements with their lenders regarding
the mergers, their businesses may be adversely affected and
the mergers may be delayed or abandoned.

o THE MERGERS ARE SEPARATE TRANSACTIONS. If one of TCI or IOT
does not approve the merger, ARL may be adversely affected and
the merger of ARL and the other company may be delayed or
abandoned.

o A TENDER OFFER MAY BE REQUIRED. ARL can make a tender offer
for the shares of the common stock of the company or companies
that did not approve the merger. Making a tender offer for the
shares of TCI or IOT would be expensive for ARL, and there can
be no assurance that it would be able to arrange the necessary
financing to consummate such a transaction.

RISKS RELATED TO THE ARL PREFERRED STOCK

o VALUE OF THE ARL PREFERRED STOCK IS UNCERTAIN. There can be no
assurance regarding the value of the ARL preferred stock. The
NYSE may not accept the preferred shares for listing, and even
if accepted, an active trading market for them may not
develop.

o THE ARL PREFERRED STOCK HAS LIMITED VOTING RIGHTS. The shares
of Series G preferred stock and Series H preferred stock have
very limited voting rights.

o AFFILIATES OF ARL MAY HOLD A MAJORITY OF THE ARL PREFERRED
STOCK. Affiliates of ARL own a substantial number of shares of
the common stock of TCI and IOT, and may be able to control
any vote of holders of the Series G and H preferred stock,
including any vote to amend the terms of the Series G and H
preferred stock and the rights of the holders of the Series G
and H preferred stock.

RISKS RELATED TO THE COMBINED BUSINESS

o ARL WILL NEED TO SELL PROPERTY AND BORROW MONEY TO MEET ITS
LIQUIDITY NEEDS. The combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT
will need to sell properties or borrow additional amounts to
repay maturing debt and to fund their ongoing business
operations.

o ARL WILL HAVE SUBSTANTIAL DEBT. ARL, TCI and IOT each have
substantial indebtedness and the combined business of ARL, TCI
and IOT will be highly leveraged.

o CONTROL BY BCM. ARL, TCI and IOT are each managed and
controlled by BCM and the combined business will continue to
be managed by BCM. The interests of BCM may be different from
those of other stockholders.

o DEPENDENCE ON REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS. ARL, TCI and IOT each
invest primarily in real estate, which are subject to varying
degrees of risk and are relatively illiquid. The performance
of real estate assets and ARL's resulting ability to pay
dividends to its stockholders may be adversely affected by a
number of factors.

o COMPETITION. Developing and managing real estate assets is a
highly competitive business. Many of the competitors in the
business of purchasing, developing and managing real estate
are considerably larger, have greater financial resources and
may have management personnel with more experience than the
officers of the combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT will
have.

o GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION. A substantial portion of assets of
the combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT will consist of real
estate and mortgage notes receivable secured by income
producing real estate located in the Midwest, Northeast and
Southwest regions of the United States. Specific geographic
regions of the United States from time to time will experience
weaker regional economic conditions and housing markets, and,
consequently, will experience higher rates of loss and
delinquency on mortgage loans.

o REAL ESTATE OPERATING RISKS. The real estate assets of the
combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT will be subject to
industry-specific operating risks, any or all of which may
adversely affect the results of the operations of the combined
business. If operating expenses increase, the local rental
market, governmental regulations or the lease may limit the
extent to which rents may be increased to meet expenses
without decreasing occupancy rates. To the extent rents cannot
be

increased or costs controlled, the cash flow and financial
condition of the combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT will be
adversely affected.

8.Q: HOW WILL THE BUSINESS COMBINATION BE FINANCED? (SEE PAGE 49)

A: The estimated cash requirements to pay the amounts to the
non-affiliated TCI and IOT stockholders if each takes the cash merger
consideration and to pay all expenses (including prepayments of indebtedness) of
the transactions is approximately $94,235,000. The actual amount required to
purchase the TCI common stock and IOT common stock will depend on the number of
stockholders who affirmatively elect to take Series G and Series H preferred
stock. Consequently, the greater number of stockholders who affirmatively elect
to receive Series G and Series H preferred stock the less funds will be required
to pay the cash merger consideration. ARL intends to first seek new loans, which
it expects to be able to obtain from several lenders aggregating at least
$43,000,000. ARL, TCI and IOT also have available a number of assets which, if
necessary, should be able to be sold (or utilized as collateral for loans) to
realize at least $93,700,000. These sums total an estimated $136,700,000. If all
such loans are entered into and all available properties are sold any remaining
difference (presently estimated at $36,100,000) will be available to ARL for
working capital purposes. ARL presently has no written commitments for any of
the expected loans and has no written or oral contracts to sell any assets.

9.Q: WILL I HAVE DISSENTERS' OR APPRAISAL RIGHTS IN THE MERGER? (SEE PAGE 37)

A: No.

10.Q: HAVE TCI AND IOT RECEIVED A FAVORABLE OPINION FROM THEIR FINANCIAL
ADVISORS CONCERNING THE TCI MERGER AND IOT MERGER AS APPLICABLE? (SEE PAGES 54
TO 62)

A: Yes. Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Financial Advisors, Inc.
("Houlihan Lokey"), has delivered its opinion to the board of TCI that, based
upon the assumptions and analyses contained in its letter dated February 1,
2002, after allowing for the factors and assumptions stated in its opinion and
as of that date, the consideration being offered to the public stockholders of
TCI, other than ARL and its affiliates, in the merger is fair from a financial
point of view.

Houlihan Lokey has delivered its opinion to the board of IOT that,
based upon the assumptions and analyses contained in its letter dated February
1, 2002 after allowing for the factors and assumptions stated in its opinion and
as of that date, the consideration being offered to the public stockholders of
IOT, other than ARL and its affiliates, in the merger is fair from a financial
point of view.

These opinions are attached as APPENDICES E and F. We encourage you to
read these opinions.

11.Q: DO PERSONS INVOLVED IN THE MERGERS HAVE INTERESTS THAT DIFFER FROM MINE?
(SEE PAGES 69 TO 70)

A: Yes. In considering your board's recommendation that you vote for
the merger, you should be aware that the determination of the boards of ARL, TCI
and IOT to participate in the mergers may have been affected by conflicts of
interest. In particular:

The boards of directors of TCI and IOT are identical. Additionally, the
executive officers of ARL, TCI, IOT and BCM are essentially the same persons.
Each of the individuals, as a result of their multiple positions, owe fiduciary
duties to the stockholders of all three of ARL,

TCI and IOT. At times, they may be confronted by issues, including the mergers,
that present them with potentially conflicting interests and obligations.
Furthermore, in accordance with the advisory agreements that each of ARL, TCI
and IOT have with BCM (as discussed under the heading "The Advisor"), BCM will
receive a fee upon the sale, if any, of the properties that may be sold to fund
the payment of the cash merger consideration. For the properties available for
sale as of February 1, 2002, the amount of the fee is estimated to be
$3,038,815. See "Special Factors - Financing the Business Combination."

It is currently expected that the officers and directors of ARL, TCI
and IOT will remain the same after the business combination with the exception
that the TCI and IOT board members shall become members of the ARL board. As a
result of these business relationships, the directors and officers of ARL, TCI
and IOT could be more likely to support or recommend the business combination,
the agreements and plans of merger and related matters than might otherwise be
the case. You should consider whether these interests may have influenced these
directors and officers to support or recommend the business combination. The
directors of ARL, TCI and IOT were aware of these interests and considered them
in approving the mergers.

12.Q: WHAT PERCENTAGE OF OUTSTANDING SHARES OF ARL, TCI AND IOT ARE HELD BY
OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND THEIR AFFILIATES? (SEE PAGES 36 TO 37)

A: The directors, executive officers and the affiliates of the
directors and executive officers of ARL beneficially own 61.7% of the
outstanding shares of ARL voting with respect to the TCI and IOT mergers.

The directors, executive officers and the affiliates of the directors
and executive officers of TCI (including ARL and its affiliates) own 64.5% of
the outstanding shares of TCI voting with respect to the TCI merger.

The directors, executive officers and the affiliates of the directors
and executive officers of IOT (including ARL, TCI and their affiliates) own
59.9% of the outstanding shares of IOT voting with respect to the IOT merger.

13.Q: WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE MY MERGER? (SEE PAGE 36)

A: Approval of the TCI merger requires:

o The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the
TCI meeting;

o The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the
holders of shares of TCI common stock voting at the TCI
meeting not held by Mr. Phillips, BCM or ARL and their
affiliates; and

o The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in favor
of the TCI merger at the ARL meeting.

Approval of the IOT merger requires:

o The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the
IOT meeting;

o The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the
holders of shares of IOT common stock voting at the IOT
meeting not held by Mr. Phillips, BCM or ARL and their
affiliates; and

o The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in favor
of the IOT merger at the ARL meeting.

In the event the stockholders of either TCI or IOT approve their merger
but the stockholders of the other company do not, the approved merger may be
consummated, but the other one will not.

ARL and its affiliates currently own 5,215,324 shares of TCI common
stock representing approximately 64.5% of the outstanding TCI shares and 862,465
shares of IOT common stock representing approximately 59.9% of the outstanding
IOT shares.

14.Q: IF THE MERGERS ARE APPROVED AND I AFFIRMATIVELY ELECT TO RECEIVE SHARES OF
THE ARL PREFERRED STOCK WILL THESE SHARES BE LISTED FOR TRADING? (SEE PAGE 21)

A: ARL will apply to list the Series G and Series H preferred stock,
and the shares of ARL common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G and
Series H preferred stock, on the NYSE. There can be, however, no assurance that
the shares will be listed. The listing of the preferred and common shares for
trading on the NYSE is not a condition to the respective obligations of TCI and
IOT to consummate the mergers.

15.Q: DO THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS OF ARL, TCI AND IOT RECOMMEND VOTING IN FAVOR
OF THE TCI MERGER AND IOT MERGER AS APPLICABLE? (SEE PAGES 45, 46 TO 49)

A: ARL. The ARL board of directors has approved the TCI merger
agreement and the IOT merger agreement and unanimously recommends that its
stockholders vote "for" the mergers. In reaching its decision to approve and
recommend the mergers, the ARL board of directors considered, among other
factors, the following:

o The current and historical market prices of the TCI and IOT common stock
relative to the historical market prices of the ARL common stock and
relative to the merger consideration.

o The view of the ARL board of directors that an increase in the size and
diversity of ARL's portfolio of developed and undeveloped real estate
would benefit the company.

o The view of the ARL board of directors that stockholders of ARL would
benefit from an increase in the size of ARL's asset base and a
diversification of its real estate portfolio.

o The expectation of the ARL board of directors that the cash to be paid
as merger consideration could be raised in large part from sales of real
estate held by TCI and IOT.

o The fact that stockholders of TCI and IOT affiliated with ARL will
accept preferred stock of ARL in lieu of cash as merger consideration.

o The expectation of the ARL board of directors that the TCI and IOT
mergers would not be consummated unless, in each case, sufficient cash
was available to ARL to pay the cash merger consideration due as a
result of the mergers.

o The fact that the TCI and IOT mergers are not conditioned upon one
another.

o The ARL board of directors understanding that any regulatory approvals
necessary to consummate the TCI and IOT mergers could be obtained.

TCI. The TCI board of directors has determined that the terms of the
proposed TCI merger are fair to and in the best interests of the non-affiliated
TCI stockholders, approved the

TCI merger agreement and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote "for"
the TCI merger. In reaching its decision to approve and recommend the TCI
merger, the TCI board of directors considered, among other factors, the
following:

o The current and historical market prices of TCI common stock relative to
the merger consideration and the fact that the $17.50 per share merger
consideration represented a 44.6% premium over the average closing price
of TCI common stock over the thirty trading days prior to October 23,
2001.

o The fact that the merger consideration is all cash.

o The fact that holders of TCI common stock have the opportunity to
affirmatively elect to receive ARL preferred stock instead of cash.

o The view of the TCI board of directors that the trading value for shares
of TCI common stock was not likely to exceed the merger price in the
near term if TCI remained independent.

o The potential stockholder value that could be expected to be generated
from other strategic options available to TCI.

o The financial presentation of Houlihan Lokey and the opinion to the
effect that the consideration to be offered to the non-affiliated TCI
public stockholders pursuant to the TCI merger agreement was fair from a
financial point of view to those holders.

o The terms of the TCI merger agreement, as reviewed by the TCI board of
directors with TCI legal advisors.

o The TCI board of directors' determination, based on the fact that no
other offers to acquire TCI common stock have been made at a level equal
to or better than the merger consideration of $17.50 per share after
initial press reports on and after October 23, 2001, that ARL had agreed
to acquire the non-affiliated stockholder interest in TCI and after
discussing with TCI's advisors the potential risks, costs and benefits
of contacting other third parties, that there was insufficient reason to
justify the risk of delay in proceeding with the favorable transaction
with ARL.

o The view of the TCI board of directors that the regulatory approvals
necessary to consummate the TCI merger could be obtained.

o The fact that TCI will no longer exist as an independent company and its
stockholders will no longer participate in the growth of TCI.

o The fact that gains from an all cash transaction would be taxable to TCI
stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

IOT. The IOT board of directors has determined that the terms of the
proposed IOT merger are fair to and in the best interests of the non-affiliated
IOT stockholders, approved the IOT merger agreement and unanimously recommends
that its stockholders vote "for" the IOT merger. In reaching its decision to
approve and recommend the IOT merger, the IOT board of directors considered,
among other factors, the following:

o The current and historical market prices of IOT common stock relative to
the merger consideration and the fact that the $19.00 per share merger
consideration represented a 28.7% premium over the average closing price
of IOT common stock over the thirty trading days prior to October 23,
2001.

o The fact that the merger consideration is all cash.

o The fact that holders of IOT stock have the opportunity to affirmatively
elect to receive ARL preferred stock instead of cash.

o The view of the IOT board of directors that the trading value for shares
of IOT common stock was not likely to exceed the merger price in the
near term if IOT remained independent.

o The potential stockholder value that can be expected to be generated
from other strategic options available to IOT.

o The financial presentation of Houlihan Lokey and the opinion to the
effect that the consideration to be offered to the non-affiliated IOT
public stockholders pursuant to the IOT merger agreement was fair from a
financial point of view to those holders.

o The terms of the IOT merger agreement, as reviewed by the IOT board of
directors with IOT legal advisors.

o The IOT board of directors' determination, based on the fact that no
other offers to acquire IOT common stock have been made at a level equal
to or better than the merger consideration of $19 per share after
initial press reports on and after October 23, 2001, that ARL had agreed
to acquire the non-affiliated stockholder interest in IOT and after
discussing with IOT's advisors the potential risks, costs and benefits
of contacting other third parties, that there was insufficient reason to
justify the risk of delay in proceeding with the favorable transaction
with ARL.

o The view of the IOT board of directors, the regulatory approvals
necessary to consummate the IOT merger could be obtained.

o IOT will no longer exist as an independent company and its stockholders
will no longer participate in the growth of IOT.

o The fact that gains from an all cash transaction would be taxable to IOT
stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

16.Q: WHEN DO THE COMPANIES EXPECT TO COMPLETE THE MERGERS? (SEE PAGE 71)

A: Assuming the mergers receive the required stockholder approval from
the stockholders of ARL, TCI and IOT, the mergers will occur at the time ARL
determines it has sufficient cash available to it, either from its own resources
or from TCI or IOT, immediately after the mergers, to pay the cash merger
consideration due as a result of the mergers.

17.Q: WHEN DO I ELECT WHETHER TO RECEIVE ARL PREFERRED STOCK OR CASH? (SEE PAGE
73)

A: At the time you send in the letter of transmittal mentioned below
you will elect whether to receive ARL preferred stock or cash.

18.Q: WHERE AND AT WHAT TIME WILL THE MEETINGS BE HELD? (SEE PAGE 35)

A: The ARL special meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 27, 2002,
at the offices of ARL at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas, at
2:00 p.m., Central Time.

The TCI special meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 27, 2002, at
the offices of TCI at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas, at 3:00

Although ARL will apply to have the Series G and Series H preferred
stock, and the shares of ARL common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series
G and Series H preferred stock, listed on the NYSE, there is no assurance the
NYSE will list the shares. The listing of the preferred and common shares for
trading on the NYSE is not a condition to the respective obligations of TCI and
IOT to consummate the mergers.

----------

(1) Trading of ARL common stock on the NYSE commenced on August 3, 2000.

(2) It is the policy of ARL to determine annually whether to pay dividends. In
accordance with that policy, ARL did not pay any dividends in 2000 or 2001.

(3) During the fourth quarter of 2000, IOT and TCI discontinued the payment of
dividends.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so
that investors can better understand a company's future prospects and make
informed investment decisions. These statements may be made directly in this
joint proxy statement and prospectus referring to ARL, TCI or IOT, and they may
also be made a part of this joint proxy statement and prospectus by reference to
other documents filed by us with the SEC, which is known as "incorporation by
reference."

Words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend,"
"plan," "believe," "target," "objective," "strategy," "goal" and words and terms
of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating
or financial performance, or the acquisition by ARL of TCI and/or IOT, identify
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management's
current views about future events and are subject to a number of factors and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
described in the forward-looking statements. The following risks could cause or
contribute to actual results differing materially from those described in the
forward-looking statements:

o inability to obtain, or to meet conditions imposed for,
regulatory approval of pending acquisitions and divestitures

o availability, terms and development of capital

o business abilities and judgment of personnel

o changes in, or the failure to comply with, governmental
regulations, particularly those affecting the environment and
water quality

o competition

o success of operating initiatives, advertising and promotional
efforts

o existence of adverse publicity or litigation

o changes in business strategy or plans

o quality of management

o general economic, business and financial market conditions

o the ability to satisfy the conditions to closing set forth in
the merger agreements

o other factors described in our filings with the SEC

We caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date of this joint proxy statement and
prospectus or the date of the documents incorporated by reference in this joint
proxy statement and prospectus. Except as required by law, we are under no
obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or

alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.

For additional information about factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking
statements, please see the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and the annual reports
on Form 10-K as well as current reports on Form 8-K that ARL, TCI and IOT have
filed with the SEC as described under "Where You Can Find More Information."

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting
on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary
statements contained or referred to in this section.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below and other
information in this joint proxy statement and prospectus before you decide how
to vote on the mergers of TCI and IOT with ARL. If the mergers are approved,
stockholders of TCI and IOT should also consider these risk factors again before
they decide to exercise their right to affirmatively elect to receive preferred
stock of ARL instead of cash for their shares of the common stock of TCI or IOT.

The plan to merge ARL, TCI and IOT involves risk. Some of those risks
relate to the proposed transactions themselves. Other risks relate to the
preferred stock of ARL being offered or to the businesses of ARL, TCI and IOT
themselves.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MERGERS

SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF CASH ARE REQUIRED FOR THE MERGERS. A substantial
amount of cash is necessary to fund the cash payments to the stockholders of TCI
and IOT required in the mergers and to pay expenses associated with the mergers.
Also, the combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT have substantial indebtedness
due in the next twelve months that must be repaid or refinanced.

o Non-affiliated TCI and IOT stockholders will be entitled to
receive up to an aggregate of $60,882,020 in cash for their
shares of the common stock of TCI and IOT if none
affirmatively elect to receive the preferred stock of ARL

o ARL, TCI and IOT expect to incur approximately $27,149,311 in
costs in connection with the mergers, including prepayment of
indebtedness and fees and commissions associated with property
sales necessary to raise cash to fund payments to the
stockholders of TCI and IOT

o ARL, TCI and IOT have approximately $395,558,476 in loans
coming due in the next twelve months that must be repaid or
refinanced

Approximately $104,235,586 must be raised in order to fund all of the
obligations related to the mergers, and an additional $395,558,477 in the next
twelve months to repay or refinance maturing indebtedness. ARL does not
currently have this much cash presently available. Although ARL, TCI and IOT
expect to be able to raise the cash necessary to fund the transactions required
in connection with the mergers and their continuing combined business by selling
real estate and obtaining new loans, there can be no assurance that sales will
be made or that loans will be obtained, or that they will be made or obtained on
terms favorable to the combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT. The ARL board of
directors has determined that the TCI and IOT mergers would not be consummated
unless, in each case, sufficient cash was available to ARL, either from its own
resources or from TCI or IOT immediately after the mergers, to pay the cash
merger consideration due as a result of the mergers. If ARL, TCI and IOT are not
able to raise the cash anticipated through the sale of real estate and obtaining
new loans, the mergers may be delayed or abandoned and the ongoing combined
business of ARL, TCI and IOT may be adversely affected.

SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY SALES OR LOANS ARE NECESSARY. ARL, TCI and IOT
expect to raise most of the cash necessary to fund all of the obligations
related to the mergers from the sale of real estate or loans. Because ARL, TCI
and IOT may need to sell assets before the mergers, they may not receive the
best possible prices for their properties and may have to incur higher expenses
than would otherwise be incurred. Real estate assets are not readily saleable.
The consummation of the sales anticipated by ARL, TCI and IOT will be subject to
a number of contingencies outside of their control, including:

o The buyers' ability to obtain any necessary financing;

o The satisfactory completion of any due diligence review made
by the buyers and the buyers' lenders; and

o Satisfactory completion of any environmental review and other
review of the subject properties' legal compliance.

Similarly, the consummation of any potential loans to ARL, TCI or IOT
will be subject to contingencies outside of their control.

LENDER CONSENT MAY BE NECESSARY. ARL, TCI and IOT have each borrowed
substantial amounts of money to buy and develop real estate. Some of ARL, TCI or
IOT's loan agreements may contain provisions limiting their ability to do the
mergers or requiring advance consent for the mergers by lenders. In some cases,
ARL, TCI and IOT may disagree with their lenders about the interpretation of
these provisions. To the extent that ARL, TCI and IOT are unable to get any
necessary lender consents, or to the extent that they have disagreements with
their lenders regarding the mergers, the businesses of ARL, TCI and IOT may be
adversely affected and the mergers may be delayed or abandoned.

THE MERGERS ARE SEPARATE TRANSACTIONS. TCI and IOT are separate
companies. TCI and IOT will each enter into a separate merger agreement with ARL
and their stockholders will receive different compensation as a result of the
merger. It is possible that the stockholders of TCI or IOT will vote to approve
a merger with ARL and that the stockholders of the other will not. If one of
these companies does not approve the merger, ARL may be adversely affected and
may not have sufficient cash to consummate the other merger. If the stockholders
of either TCI or IOT do not approve the merger, but the stockholders of the
other do, the merger of ARL and the other company may be delayed or abandoned.

A TENDER OFFER MAY BE REQUIRED. In connection with the Settlement
Agreement, ARL agreed to propose the mergers to the stockholders of TCI and IOT.
It was also agreed that if the stockholders of TCI or IOT did not approve the
mergers, ARL can make a tender offer for the shares of the common stock of the
company or companies that did not approve the merger. Making a tender offer for
the shares of TCI or IOT would be expensive for ARL, and there can be no
assurance that it would be able to arrange the necessary financing to make and
consummate such a transaction. If ARL does not make the tender offer required by
the Settlement Agreement it could be liable for damages of approximately
$14,265,400 (or $5.00 for each share of TCI stock it does not acquire) and/or
$2,882,400 (or $5.00 for each share of IOT stock it does not acquire.)

RISKS RELATED TO THE ARL PREFERRED STOCK

If the mergers are consummated, stockholders of TCI and IOT will
receive cash for their shares of TCI and IOT common stock unless they elect to
receive shares of ARL preferred stock instead. The opportunity to receive shares
of ARL preferred stock instead of cash will be given to stockholders of TCI and
IOT after the mergers are completed, if they are completed. Electing to receive
shares of ARL preferred stock is a decision to invest in the stock of ARL and is
subject to the risks of investing in the combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT.
Investing in the preferred stock of ARL is also subject to risks related to the
terms and nature of the Series G and Series H preferred stock. TCI and IOT
stockholders should carefully review the risks described below before electing
to take ARL preferred stock instead of cash.

VALUE OF THE ARL PREFERRED STOCK IS UNCERTAIN. There can be no
assurance regarding the value of the ARL preferred stock. Along with the risks
associated with owning securities generally, stockholders of TCI and IOT should
consider the following specific risks associated with the ARL preferred stock:

o Although ARL will apply to list the preferred shares to be
offered to TCI and IOT stockholders on the NYSE, the exchange
may not accept them for listing. Even if the shares of ARL
preferred stock are listed on an exchange, an active trading
market for them may not develop

o There can be no assurance that an active trading market for
the ARL preferred stock will develop, even if those shares are
listed on the NYSE. As a result, holders of the ARL preferred
stock may not be able to sell those shares for cash when they
wish to or may be limited in the number of shares that they
are able to sell at any one time

o Stockholders of TCI and IOT who affirmatively elect to receive
ARL preferred stock instead of cash for their shares of TCI or
IOT will be investing in the combined business of ARL. If
there is a trading market for the ARL preferred stock after
the mergers, the value of those shares will rise and fall
based upon many factors, including the results of ARL's
business operations and its financial condition. There can be
no assurance that the ARL preferred stock will rise in value

o The preferred shares to be offered to stockholders of TCI and
IOT will have a annual dividend which will be payable
quarterly. Although the preferred shares have a dividend, ARL
is only obligated to pay the dividend when it is declared and
when it has sufficient funds to do so. Unpaid dividends will
accumulate until paid, but will not bear interest. Because ARL
will need to pay substantial amounts to consummate the mergers
and to repay or refinance indebtedness in the next twelve
months, there can be no assurance that ARL will have
sufficient cash to pay the dividend contemplated on the shares
of ARL preferred stock to be offered to stockholders of TCI
and IOT

o Even if it is able to fund its near term cash needs, ARL's
ability to declare and pay dividends on its preferred stock
will depend upon the results of its business operations, the
terms of loan agreements it may have and the amount of cash it
has available from time to time. Dividends on ARL's preferred
stock will only be payable when its board of directors
determines it has sufficient cash available and that it is
otherwise appropriate to do so. Unpaid dividends on the ARL
preferred stock will not bear interest

o ARL has other shares of preferred stock outstanding that are
entitled to dividends. ARL can only pay dividends on its
preferred stock if it pays dividends on all of the shares of
preferred stock entitled to dividends at the same time.
Currently, ARL has 2,778,869.75 shares of its Series A, E and
F preferred stock outstanding. Those shares require the
payment of a total of approximately $688,725 in dividends
quarterly. If all of the stockholders of TCI and IOT elect to
receive preferred stock instead of cash, ARL will add
approximately 7,484,006 shares of preferred stock outstanding
with a dividend requirement of approximately $1,736,398
quarterly

o Stockholders of TCI and IOT who affirmatively elect to receive
shares of ARL preferred stock instead of cash will each
receive one share of preferred stock for each share of TCI or
IOT common stock that they hold. No adjustment in this
exchange ratio will be made to reflect changes in the market
prices of the shares of ARL, TCI or IOT. Shares of the ARL
preferred stock to be issued to TCI and IOT stockholders who
elect to receive them instead of cash will be convertible into
shares of ARL common stock in the future. The number of shares
of ARL common stock you will receive if you convert a share of
ARL preferred stock has already been set and will not be
adjusted if the market value of ARL's common stock declines in
the future

THE ARL PREFERRED HAS LIMITED VOTING RIGHTS. The ARL shares of Series G
preferred stock and Series H preferred stock have very limited voting rights.
The holders of Series G preferred stock and Series H preferred stock are not
voting for the election of directors or on any matter except: (i) as otherwise
provided by law, (ii) with respect to an amendment to ARL's articles of
incorporation or bylaws that would materially alter or change the existing terms
of such series of preferred stock, and (iii) at any time or times for the
election of two directors when all or any portion of the dividends on such
series of preferred stock for any six quarterly dividends, whether or not
consecutive, shall be in arrears and unpaid. In the latter event, the number of
directors constituting the board of directors of ARL shall be increased by two
and the holders of such Series G preferred stock or Series H preferred stock, as
applicable, voting separately as a class, shall be entitled to elect two
directors to fill the newly created directorships with each holder being
entitled to one vote in the election for each share of such preferred stock held
by such stockholder.

AFFILIATES OF ARL MAY HOLD A MAJORITY OF THE ARL PREFERRED STOCK.
Affiliates of ARL own a substantial number of shares of the common stock of TCI
and IOT. If the mergers occur, shares of TCI and IOT held by ARL's affiliates
will be converted into preferred stock of ARL. Thus, a majority of the issued
and outstanding shares of the ARL preferred stock to be issued as

a result of the mergers may by held by affiliates of ARL. Affiliates of ARL may
be able to control any vote of holders of the Series G and H ARL preferred
stock, including any vote to amend the terms of the Series G and H ARL preferred
stock and the rights of the holders of the Series G and H ARL preferred stock.

RISKS RELATED TO THE COMBINED BUSINESS

The combined businesses of ARL, TCI and IOT will be subject to risks.
If the mergers are consummated, stockholders of TCI and IOT will receive cash
for their shares of TCI and IOT common stock unless they affirmatively elect to
receive shares of ARL preferred stock instead. The opportunity to receive shares
of ARL preferred stock instead of cash will be given to stockholders of TCI and
IOT after the mergers are completed, if they are completed. Electing to receive
shares of ARL preferred stock is a decision to invest in the stock of ARL and is
subject to the risks of investing in the combined businesses of ARL, TCI and
IOT. TCI and IOT stockholders should carefully review the risks described below
before affirmatively electing to take ARL preferred stock instead of cash.

ARL WILL NEED TO SELL PROPERTY AND BORROW MONEY TO MEET ITS LIQUIDITY
NEEDS. The combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT will need to sell properties or
borrow additional amounts to repay maturing debt and to fund their ongoing
business operations. There can be no assurance that the combined business will
be able to make the required property sales for favorable prices or at all, or
that it will be able to borrow additional funds on favorable terms or at all. In
connection with considering an investment in the ARL preferred stock,
stockholders of TCI and IOT should consider the following risks related to the
indebtedness and liquidity needs of the combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT:

o In addition to the substantial amounts of cash that will be
needed to fund the cash payments to the non-affiliated
stockholders, the combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT will
need to raise approximately $395,558,476 to repay or refinance
debts maturing in the next twelve months. The combined
business of ARL, TCI and IOT will have approximately
$395,558,476 of indebtedness coming due in the next twelve
months out of a total debt of $1,196,996,000. After
consummating the mergers and paying related expenses, assuming
no stockholders of TCI or IOT elect to receive ARL preferred
stock instead of cash, ARL expects to have approximately
$10,000,000 of cash and negotiable securities on hand to meet
its obligations

o ARL, TCI and IOT have significant debt service obligations
when compared to their available cash flow. As of September
30, 2001, after giving effect to the mergers and related
transactions on a pro forma basis, the combination of ARL, TCI
and IOT would have had total debt of approximately
$1,196,996,000 and total stockholders equity of approximately
$110,072,000, if no stockholders of TCI and IOT elect to
receive ARL preferred stock instead of cash. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, after giving effect to the
mergers and assuming that no TCI or IOT stockholder elects to
receive ARL preferred stock instead of cash, the interest
expense for the combined business of ARL, TCI and

IOT would have been $92,191,000 as compared to net available
cash flow of approximately $93,034,000

o The ongoing business operations of the combined business of
ARL, TCI and IOT will require substantial amounts of cash from
property sales, new borrowings or sales of securities. A large
portion of the assets of ARL, TCI and IOT consist of
undeveloped real estate that produces little or no income. In
addition, ARL, TCI and IOT have made substantial commitments
in connection with the development of property. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, the combined business
operations of ARL, TCI and IOT, on a pro forma basis, would
have had revenues of approximately $279,156,000 and expenses,
exclusive of debt service and non cash expenses such as
depreciation and amortization of approximately $231,382,000.
ARL anticipates requiring additional cash of approximately
$50,522,713 in excess of its expected revenues to fund the
ongoing business operations of the combined business of ARL,
TCI and IOT during the next twelve months

ARL WILL HAVE SUBSTANTIAL DEBT. ARL, TCI and IOT each have substantial
indebtedness and the combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT will be highly
leveraged. This high level of indebtedness will subject the combined business to
risk. Among those risks are the following:

o the combined businesses of ARL, TCI and IOT may be limited in
their ability to grow by a lack of cash or the availability of
loans for new acquisitions

o the combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT may be forced to
sell properties on disadvantageous terms if it is unable to
refinance maturing debt obligations

o the interest expense of the combined business of ARL, TCI and
IOT could increase if general interest rates increase, because
28.3% of their loans are floating rate loans and another 55.1%
come due and must be refinanced within the next three years

o the substantial leverage of the combined business of ARL, TCI
and IOT will increase their vulnerability to economic
downturns and could place them at a competitive disadvantage
to competitors having lower levels of debt

o high levels of debt could limit the ability of the combined
businesses of ARL, TCI and IOT to react to changing conditions
in the real estate industry or the economy generally

o failure by the combined business to comply with financial and
other restrictive covenants in loan agreements, or failure to
make debt service payments could result in events of default
under those and other loan agreements that, if not cured or
waived, could harm the business or could result in the
bankruptcy of one or more subsidiaries of ARL, TCI or IOT or
of the combined business as a whole

CONTROL BY BCM. ARL, TCI and IOT are each managed and controlled by
BCM. The combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT will continue to be managed BCM
as well. ARL, TCI and IOT have no employees. Instead, pursuant to a written
advisory agreement, BCM provides services for specific compensation. This
arrangement will continue after the mergers. Also, BCM and its affiliates own or
control more than a majority of the voting securities of each of ARL, TCI and
IOT, and will own more than a majority of the voting securities of ARL after the
merger. The interest of BCM may be different from those of other stockholders of
ARL, TCI and IOT, and may be different from those of other holders of the ARL
preferred stock. BCM's position may have a number of effects on the combined
business of ARL, TCI and IOT which may affect the value of the ARL common and
preferred stock, including:

o BCM and its affiliates can control the election of all members
of the board of directors of ARL at the present time, and
will continue to have that control after the mergers

o BCM and its affiliates is able, and will be able after the
mergers, to prevent any transaction that would result in a
change of control of ARL

o Dealings between ARL and BCM after the mergers may not be at
arms length

DEPENDENCE ON REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS. ARL, TCI and IOT each invest
primarily in real estate. Real estate investments are subject to varying degrees
of risk and are relatively illiquid. The performance of real estate assets and
ARL's resulting ability to pay dividends to its stockholders may be adversely
affected by a number of factors, including:

o the general economic climate and local real estate conditions
(such as oversupply of or reduced demand for space and changes
in market rental rates)

o the perceptions of prospective tenants of the safety,
convenience and attractiveness of the properties

o the ability of the owner of the properties to provide adequate
management, maintenance and insurance

o the ability to collect on a timely basis all rent from tenants
and interest from borrowers

o the expense of periodically renovating, repairing and
reletting spaces

o increasing operating costs (including real estate taxes and
utilities) which may not be passed through to tenants. Certain
significant expenditures associated with investments in real
estate (such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes,
insurance and maintenance costs) are generally not reduced
when circumstances cause a reduction in rental revenues from
the investment

o governmental regulations, local rent control or stabilization
ordinances

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS. Under various federal, state and local
environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner of real estate may be
liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic
substances on the property. These laws often impose environmental liability
without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the
presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of hazardous substances,
or the failure to remediate them properly, may adversely affect the owner's
ability to sell or rent the property or to borrow money using the property as
collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or
toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of
these substances at a disposal or treatment facility, whether or not the
facility is owned or operated by this person. Certain laws impose liability for
release of asbestos-containing materials into the air and third parties may seek
recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury
associated with asbestos-containing materials. In connection with the ownership
(directly or indirectly), operation, management and development of real
properties, the combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT may be considered an owner
or operator of these properties or as having arranged for the disposal or
treatment of hazardous or toxic substances and, therefore, potentially liable
for removal or remediation costs, as well as for other related costs, including
governmental fines and injuries to persons and property.

COMPETITION. Developing and managing real estate assets is a highly
competitive business. The combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT will compete
with many public and private real estate investment entities, including
financial institutions (such as mortgage banks, pension funds and real estate
investment trusts), other institutional investors and individuals for property
to purchase. In addition, developed real estate owned by the combined business
of ARL, TCI and IOT will compete for tenants and customers with other developed
real estate owned by third parties. Many of the competitors in the business of
purchasing, developing and managing real estate are considerably larger, have
greater financial resources and may have management personnel with more
experience than the officers of the combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT will
have.

GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION. A substantial portion of assets of the
combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT will consist of real estate and mortgage
notes receivable secured by income producing real estate such as apartment
complexes, office buildings, shopping centers and partnership interests located
in the Midwest, Northeast and Southwest regions of the United States. Specific
geographic regions of the United States from time to time will experience weaker
regional economic conditions and housing markets, and, consequently, will
experience higher rates of loss and delinquency on mortgage loans. Any
concentration of assets in a region may present risks in addition to those
generally present for similar real estate assets or mortgage-backed or
asset-backed securities without this concentration.

REAL ESTATE OPERATING RISKS. The real estate assets of the combined
business of ARL, TCI and IOT will be subject to industry-specific operating
risks, any or all of which may adversely affect the results of the operations of
the combined business. All properties are subject to increases in operating
expenses, including: cleaning, electricity, heating, ventilation and
air-conditioning, elevator repair and maintenance, insurance and administrative
costs, and other general costs associated with security, landscaping, repairs,
regulatory compliance and maintenance. While commercial tenants are often
obligated to pay a portion of these escalating costs, there can be no assurance
that they will agree to pay these costs in the absence of a

contractual duty or that their payments will fully cover these costs. If
operating expenses increase, the local rental market, governmental regulations
or the lease may limit the extent to which rents may be increased to meet
expenses without decreasing occupancy rates. To the extent rents cannot be
increased or costs controlled, the cash flow and financial condition of the
combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT will be adversely affected. Industry
specific risks related to the asset of the combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT
include the following:

o APARTMENT PROPERTIES. Market values of apartments can be
affected significantly by the supply and demand in the
geographic market for the properties and, therefore, may be
subject to adverse economic conditions. Market values of
apartments may vary as a result of economic events or
governmental regulations outside the control of the borrower
or lender. Governmental regulations such as rent control laws
may impact the future cash flow of the apartments

o UNDEVELOPED PROPERTY. Undeveloped real estate (raw land)
generates little or no income. To the extent that undeveloped
real estate is purchased with the proceeds of debt, as a
result, the costs of holding it will greatly exceed any income
it may generate. In addition, the market value of undeveloped
real estate tends to fluctuate greatly, depending upon many
factors, including local and national economic conditions,
interest rates, local development conditions, local land use
regulations, the nature and quality of surrounding developed
real estate

o HOTEL PROPERTIES. Like any income producing property, the
income generated by a hotel property is subject to local,
regional and national economic conditions and competition.
However, because the income is primarily generated by
short-term occupancies, the level of income responds more
quickly to market conditions. Sensitivity to competition may
require more frequent improvements and renovations than other
properties. To the extent a hotel is affiliated with a
regional, national or international chain, changes in the
public perception of the affiliated chain may have an impact
on the income generated by the hotel. In addition, since the
hotel industry is generally seasonal, income generated by a
hotel property will fluctuate in accordance with the
particular demand characteristics of the market in which it is
located

o OFFICE AND RETAIL PROPERTIES. The market value of office
buildings and shopping centers is affected by the risk that a
lease may not be renewed, that the space may not be released
and that the terms of renewal or release (including the cost
of required renovations or concessions to tenants) may be less
favorable than current lease terms

o INVESTMENTS IN NON-RECOURSE MORTGAGE LOANS. Mortgage loans may
or may not be recourse obligations of the borrower and
generally will not be insured or guaranteed by governmental
agencies or otherwise. In the event of a default under this
type of a loan, ARL may have to foreclose the mortgage or
protect its investment by acquiring title to the property.
Taking title to a property may require investing in
substantial improvements or repairs in order to maximize the
property's investment potential. Borrowers may contest
enforcement of

foreclosure or other remedies, seek bankruptcy protection
against foreclosure and/or bring claims for lender liability
in response to actions to enforce mortgage obligations.
Because of relatively high "loan-to-value" ratios and declines
in the value of the mortgaged property, the amount received in
foreclosure may be less than the amount outstanding under the
mortgage loan

o PARTICIPATION IN LOANS MADE BY OTHERS. The combined business
of ARL, TCI and IOT may participate in loans originated by
other real estate lenders or investors such as financial
institutions. A participant in a loan or investment originated
by another entity may not have the sole authority, or any
authority, to declare a default under the mortgage or to
control the management or disposition of the financed property
or any related foreclosure proceedings

o SUBORDINATED INTERESTS. The combined business of ARL, TCI and
IOT may make loans that are subordinated to other obligations
of the debtor. Any investments in subordinated mortgage loans
involve additional risks, including the lack of control over
collateral and related foreclosure proceedings

o INVESTMENTS IN PARTNERSHIPS OR JOINT VENTURES. The combined
business of ARL, TCI and IOT will have investments in one of
more partnerships, joint ventures or similar entities where
responsibility for the conduct of the business of the
investment is shared with a third party. As a result, the
success of such an investment will be subject to risks that
the third party may become bankrupt or fail to perform its
obligations, have different economic goals than the combined
business, take actions which are contrary to the interests of
the combined business or be unable to agree upon the proper
conduct of the investment's business

o RISK OF TERRORISM. Office buildings, hotels and other
properties are subject to the risk that terrorists or other
persons may damage or destroy them, or that their value may be
damaged or destroyed as a result of damage to or destruction
of neighboring properties. In addition, to the extent that
added security measures made necessary by changing political
conditions increases the cost of operating real property
investments, operating income from and value of such
properties may be reduced

o AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT. Under the Americans with
Disabilities Act ("ADA"), places of public accommodation and
commercial facilities are required to meet requirements
related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with
ADA requirements could require both structural and
non-structural changes to the properties in which the combined
business of ARL, TCI and IOT invests. Noncompliance could
result in fines imposed by the federal government or an award
of damages to private litigants. The combined business of ARL,
TCI and IOT may be required to incur additional and unexpected
costs to ensure compliance with the ADA in the future. A
number of additional federal, state and local laws exist which
impose additional burdens or restrictions on owners with
respect to access by disabled persons. Those laws may require
modifications or restrict renovations to properties owned by
the combined business of ARL, TCI

and IOT. The ultimate amount of the cost of compliance with
the ADA or other related laws is not currently ascertainable.
Any substantial unexpected costs of compliance with the ADA
and similar statutes could adversely affect the results of
operations of the combined business of ARL, TCI and IOT

and to vote at the ARL special meeting. The mergers will be approved by ARL if
the mergers receive the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy, of a majority
of the votes cast at the ARL meeting. The holders of a majority of the
outstanding stock entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, will
constitute a quorum for purposes of the ARL meeting. As of the record date for
the ARL special meeting, there were 11,375,127 shares of ARL common stock
outstanding. BCM, TCI and the members of the board of directors and executive
officers of ARL and its affiliates beneficially owned, as of the record date,
7,016,316 shares, which represent approximately 61.7% of the outstanding shares.
Each share of ARL common stock entitles its holder to cast one vote on matters
as to which voting is permitted or required by Nevada law. BCM, TCI and, to the
knowledge of ARL, the members of the board of directors and executive officers
of ARL and their affiliates intend to vote their shares in favor of the mergers.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will be excluded when calculating the number of
votes required for approval of the proposals.

TCI. Only holders of shares of TCI common stock of record at the close
of business on the record date, February 9, 2002, will be entitled to notice of
and to vote at the TCI special meeting. The TCI merger and the TCI merger
agreement will be approved by TCI if the TCI merger receives the affirmative
vote, in person or by proxy, of (1) a majority of the votes cast at the TCI
meeting and (2) a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares of TCI
common stock not held by Mr. Phillips, BCM or ARL, voting at the TCI meeting,
whether in person or by proxy. The holders of a majority of the shares of voting
stock, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for purposes of
the TCI meeting. As of the record date for the TCI special meeting, there were
8,042,629 shares of TCI common stock outstanding. Each share of TCI common stock
entitles its holder to cast one vote on matters as to which voting is permitted
or required by Nevada law. ARL (indirectly), BCM (directly and indirectly) and
the members of the board of directors and executive officers of TCI and its
affiliates beneficially owned, as of the record date for the TCI special
meeting, 5,187,722 shares, which represent approximately 64.5% of the
outstanding shares. ARL, BCM and, to the knowledge of TCI, the members of the
board of directors and the executive officers of TCI and its affiliates intend
to vote their shares in favor of the TCI merger. Abstentions and broker
non-votes will be excluded when calculating the number of votes required for
approval of the proposals.

IOT. Only holders of shares of IOT common stock record at the close of
business on the record date, February 9, 2002, will be entitled to notice of and
to vote at the IOT special meeting. The IOT merger and merger agreement will be
approved by IOT if the merger receives the affirmative vote, in person or by
proxy, of (1) a majority of the votes cast at the IOT meeting and (2) a majority
of the votes cast by the holders of shares of IOT common stock not held by Mr.
Phillips, BCM or ARL, voting at the IOT meeting, whether in person or by proxy.
The holders of a majority of the shares of voting stock, present in person or by
proxy, will constitute a quorum for purposes of the IOT meeting. As of the
record date for the IOT special meeting, there were 1,438,945 shares of IOT
common stock outstanding. Each share of IOT common stock entitles its holder to
cast one vote on matters as to which voting is permitted or required by Nevada
law. ARL (indirectly),

BCM and the members of the board of directors and executive officers of IOT and
its affiliates beneficially owned, as of the record date for the IOT special
meeting, 862,465 shares, which represent approximately 59.9% of the outstanding
shares. ARL, TCI, BCM and, to the knowledge of IOT, directors and members of
management of IOT and its affiliates intend to vote their shares in favor of the
IOT merger. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be excluded when calculating
the number of votes required for approval of the proposals.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

None of the ARL, TCI or IOT stockholders will be entitled to dissenters
or appraisal rights as a result of or in connection with the mergers.

PROXY

Enclosed is a form of proxy which should be completed, dated, signed
and returned by each ARL, TCI and IOT stockholder before the ARL, TCI and IOT
special meetings to ensure that each stockholder's shares will be voted at the
meeting. Any ARL, TCI or IOT stockholder signing and delivering a proxy has the
power to revoke the proxy at any time prior to its use by:

a. filing with the corporate secretary of ARL, TCI or IOT, as
applicable, a written revocation of the proxy or a duly executed proxy;

b. submitting another proper proxy bearing a later date than that of
the proxy first given by:

o signing and returning a proxy card to either the
corporate secretary of ARL, TCI or IOT, as
applicable;

o following the telephone voting instructions;

o following the Internet voting instructions; or

c. attending and voting in person at the meeting.

Shares represented by a properly executed proxy, and all properly
completed proxies voted by telephone or the Internet, which are delivered
pursuant to this solicitation (and not later revoked) will be voted in
accordance with the instructions indicated on the proxy, and at the discretion
of the proxy holders on all other matters properly addressed at the meeting. If
an ARL, TCI or IOT stockholder executes a proxy without instructions, the votes
represented by the proxy will be submitted in favor of the proposals.

Your broker may vote shares on the merger only if you instruct your
broker how to vote. You should follow the directions provided by your broker
regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. If you do not tell
your broker how to vote, your shares will not be voted on the merger. If you
hold your shares in a brokerage account, you cannot vote in person at your
meeting. If you hold your shares in a brokerage account and you have instructed
your broker to vote, you must follow your broker's instructions regarding how to
change your vote.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The boards of directors of ARL, TCI and IOT are soliciting proxies for
use in connection with the special meetings to be held by each entity and any
adjournments or postponements of either meeting. ARL, TCI and IOT will bear
equally the expense of the proxy solicitation. The costs of the proxy
solicitation are estimated to be $7,000. Georgeson Shareholder Communications,
Inc. has been retained to act as proxy solicitor in connection with the special
meetings. The proxy solicitor may contact ARL, TCI and IOT stockholders by mail,
telephone, telex, telegraph and personal interviews and may request brokers,
dealers and other nominee

stockholders to forward the proxy materials to beneficial owners of ARL, TCI or
IOT shares. The proxy solicitor will receive a fee estimated not to exceed
$30,000 for these services, plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. ARL,
TCI and IOT will indemnify the proxy solicitor against certain liabilities and
expenses in connection with the mergers, including liabilities under federal
securities laws. The telephone number of the proxy solicitor is 212-805-7000.

OTHER MATTERS FOR ACTION AT THE SPECIAL MEETINGS

The ARL, TCI and IOT boards of directors are not aware of any matters
to be presented for action at any of the special meetings other than those
described in this joint proxy statement and prospectus. If other matters should
properly come before any special meeting, it is intended that the holders of
proxies solicited by this joint proxy statement and prospectus will vote on
those matters in their discretion.

SPECIAL FACTORS

GENERAL

The following is a description of all material matters concerning the
business combination. Pursuant to the business combination, wholly-owned
subsidiaries of ARL will be merged with and into TCI and IOT and TCI and IOT
will become subsidiaries of ARL. If the TCI stockholders approve their merger
and the merger is consummated, each share of outstanding TCI common stock will
be converted into $17.50 in cash (less the amount of any dividend declared and
paid after January 2, 2002 by TCI on the TCI common stock) unless the TCI
stockholder affirmatively elects to receive one share of Series G preferred
stock in exchange for each share of outstanding TCI common stock. Outstanding
shares of TCI common stock held by ARL, its subsidiaries or TCI will be canceled
and shares of TCI common stock held by BCM and other affiliates of ARL will be
exchanged for shares of Series G preferred stock. Similarly, if the IOT
stockholders approve their merger, each share of outstanding IOT common stock
will be converted into $19.00 in cash (less the amount of any dividends declared
and paid after January 2, 2002 by IOT on the IOT common stock) unless the IOT
stockholder affirmatively elects to receive one share of Series H preferred
stock. Outstanding shares of IOT held by ARL, its subsidiaries TCI or IOT will
be canceled and each share of IOT common stock held by BCM and other affiliates
of ARL will be exchanged for shares of Series H preferred stock. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the ARL board of directors has determined that ARL would not
enter into the merger agreements unless, in each case, sufficient cash was
available to ARL, either from its own resources or from TCI or IOT immediately
after the mergers, to pay the cash merger consideration due as a result of the
mergers.

BACKGROUND OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

On June 14, 2000, Mr. Phillips and A. Cal Rossi, Jr. were indicted* by
a Grand Jury in the Southern District of New York, charged with conspiracy to
commit securities fraud and kickback and wire fraud schemes. Mr. Phillips is a
representative of a trust for the benefit of his children that indirectly owns
BCM. As a representative of the trust, Mr. Phillips had, until June 2000,
substantial contact with the management of BCM and input with respect to BCM's
performance of advisory services for ARL, TCI and IOT. Until June 2000, Mr.
Rossi served as an officer of BCM. Following the announcement of the indictments
the market values of TCI and IOT common stock declined precipitously, thereby
exposing certain owners of the securities to margin calls. Sales under margin
calls were averted in almost all instances, but one brokerage firm sold a large
block of stock in TCI to an investment fund. On October 3, 2001, American Realty
Trust, Inc. ("ART"), a subsidiary of ARL, entered into an option to purchase the
TCI common stock from the investment fund at a price of $16.50 per share.
Settlement Counsel under the Olive Settlement, read of the purchase option
agreement and inquired as to whether or not there was interest in a transaction
whereby all of the shares owned by non-affiliates in IOT and TCI might be
purchased by ART for cash.

In early July 2000, Henry W. Simon, Jr. and the Fort Worth, Texas law
firm of Simon, Warner & Doby, were employed to represent BCM, Mr. Phillips, ART
and ARL. On October 12, 2000, Simon attended a hearing in San Francisco in the
Olive Litigation. After the hearing there was a brief conversation between Simon
and Donaldson in which the possibility of finally settling the disputes in the
Olive Settlement by offering cash to non-affiliated TCI and IOT stockholders was
discussed.

On October 31, 2000, Simon met with his clients and others about the
status and possibilities of the Olive Settlement. These parties contacted
Donaldson by telephone, informing him that there was some willingness to
consider attempts to determine cash prices which would be agreeable to all
parties and acceptable to Judge Marilyn H. Patel, Chief Judge, United States
District Court for the Northern District of California. Judge Patel would have
to make a finding that each price offered was fair pursuant to the class action
provisions which govern the

were acquitted of all charges in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of
New York.

derivative litigation. Later the same date, Simon attended a meeting with Ted
Stokely, Chairman of the Board of TCI and IOT, and Robert A. Waldman, General
Counsel to ARL, TCI and IOT, to discuss the mechanics leading toward a possible
settlement. On November 3, 2000, Messrs. Donaldson, Mr. Phillips and Simon met
to negotiate a possible pricing structure. Mr. Phillips indicated that he might
consider recommending that ARL acquire the shares of common stock held by
non-affiliated TCI stockholders for $16 per share and non-affiliated IOT
stockholders for $14 per share.

On November 15, 2000, Waldman contacted representatives of Houlihan
Lokey in Los Angeles, California to discuss Houlihan Lokey's interest in
providing a fairness opinion which would be necessary in the event the parties
reached an agreement on prices. Houlihan Lokey indicated that they would be
pleased to work in furtherance of the transaction. Houlihan Lokey prepared a
draft retainer agreement among IOT, TCI and Houlihan Lokey, and sent it to
Waldman.

On November 17, 2000, at meetings of the boards of directors of TCI and
IOT, the members were advised that Donaldson had expressed an initial interest
in a buy out by ARL of all non-affiliated stockholders at $16 per TCI share and
$14 per IOT share, subject to further information and negotiation as to price.
In attendance at that meeting were directors R. Douglas Leonhard*, Martin L.
White, Edward G. Zampa* and Ted P. Stokely. Also attending that meeting were
Mark W. Branigan, then a director of ARL and Chief Financial Officer of ARL, TCI
and IOT, Karl L. Blaha, then a director of ARL and President of ARL, TCI and
IOT, and Robert A. Waldman, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary
of ARL, TCI and IOT.

On November 20, 2000, Messrs. Donaldson, Waldman, Mr. Phillips and
Simon met in Dallas to discuss the proposals made and responses received between
the parties. At that time Donaldson indicated that he would not consider any
price less than $16.50 per share for the TCI shares, which was the option price
agreed to between ARL and the investment fund. Donaldson also advised that
whatever price might be agreed upon would be based upon a current appraisal and
evaluation of the underlying assets of the subject companies. Donaldson advised
that in order to go forward he wished to engage Green Street Advisors, Inc.
("Green Street") in Newport Beach, California, to review asset values of TCI and
IOT.

The ARL board of directors met on November 22, 2000, to consider the
possible acquisition of the shares of non-affiliated stockholders at TCI and
IOT. Present at that meeting were ARL directors Richard D. Morgan**, Karl L.
Blaha***, Collene C. Currie, Roy E. Bode****, Joseph Mizrachi and Mark W.
Branigan and Waldman. The ARL board determined that management should proceed
with negotiations on this matter.

During the month of December 2000, Simon discussed with Donaldson the
appropriate procedure to advise Judge Patel that the parties were considering
settlement. On December 21, 2000, Simon approved a form of Statement of the Case
to be submitted by Settlement Counsel, Mr. Donaldson, which would formally
advise Judge Patel that the parties were discussing a

settlement. During January 2001, Simon and Waldman prepared at the request of
Donaldson certain historical summaries of the trading values of stocks involved
and facilitated the exchange of information between BCM and Green Street in
order to expedite the analysis of the underlying values of TCI and IOT. On
February 14, 2001, Simon discussed with Donaldson certain discounts and other
assumptions which ARL felt were appropriate in reaching final values. These
discussions continued with telephone conversations on February 22, 23, and 28,
2001. On March 7, 2001, Donaldson and Adam Markman of Green Street met with
Simon and Waldman in Dallas to review additional information regarding certain
assets. Following that meeting and several other conversations but prior to
April 12, 2001, Messrs. Simon, Donaldson and Mr. Phillips reached a tentative
agreement to propose final cash prices of $16.50 for each of the TCI shares and
$19 for each of the IOT shares.

On March 20, 26, 27, and 30, 2001, Simon held telephone conversations
with Donaldson to complete the data base from which the final agreed prices
might be determined. On April 10, 2001, Mr. Phillips and Simon met with
Donaldson in California and reached an initial agreement on which Donaldson was
authorized to communicate to Judge Patel. In May 2001, Donaldson delivered a
letter to Judge Patel concerning the proposed settlement of the litigation which
included the proposed purchase prices of $16.50 per TCI share and $19.00 per IOT
share. The letter was labeled "CONFIDENTIAL- FILED UNDER SEAL." On May 8, 2001,
Simon appeared before Judge Patel in a conference format and discussed with the
Court the nature of the proposed settlement, the steps necessary to achieve both
a resolution of all open issues between the parties and the subsequent judicial
and regulatory approvals which would be needed to implement the transaction.

In June and July 2001, Donaldson, aided by the Green Street evaluation
team, continued to review data in order to reach an agreement on share price. On
July 26, 2001, Simon met with Mr. Phillips in his Dallas office to review the
summary pages of the Green Street report for TCI. On July 30, 2001, Simon met
with Donaldson in the offices of BCM in Dallas, Texas to discuss the initial
evaluations submitted by Green Street. On the following day, July 31, 2001,
Markman of Green Street joined in meetings with Donaldson, Mr. Phillips, certain
asset managers of BCM, and others in the Dallas offices of BCM. Markman also
viewed some of the more significant TCI properties located in the Dallas area.

Negotiations regarding comparative values and their effect upon
proposed price per share provisions of a joint settlement continued during the
month of August 2001. ARL desired that there be an alternative election offered
to TCI and IOT stockholders whereby a stockholder could (if a clear affirmative
election to do so is made) accept preferred stock in ARL in lieu of the cash
amounts of $16.50 per TCI share and $19 per IOT share. Settlement counsel
negotiated for a penalty if the transaction is not completed by ARL and urged
that the TCI data warranted an increase in the cash price to be paid to TCI
stockholders. Just prior to August 30, 2001, Donaldson, Mr. Phillips, and the
other participants from BCM agreed upon (a) an increase in the price to be
offered TCI stockholders from $16.50 per share to $17.50 per share; (b) a
preferred stock election as to each offeree; (c) a $5.00 per share penalty for
failure to complete the transaction; and (d) a tender offer procedure, providing
the same considerations, in the event that the regulatory process with the SEC
could not be completed satisfactorily or expeditiously.

On August 30, 2001, the TCI and IOT directors held special meetings at
which time they approved the terms of the proposed settlement subject to
completion of due diligence and negotiation of a final agreement. The Settlement
Agreement was drafted by Donaldson and Simon in September 2001. Simon spent
September 4, 2001 in San Francisco and discussed the proposed joint settlement
with Donaldson on an everyday basis during September and the early part of
October. Simon met with Donaldson in San Francisco on October 3 and 4, 2001 to
continue discussions of the Settlement Agreement. Commencing on October 12,
2001, Simon broadened his activities to discuss all aspects of the then "draft"
form of the Settlement Agreement, along with ancillary documents to be filed
therewith, with Jessica Pers and David Goldstein of the Heller Ehrman White &
McAuliffe law firm, counsel to the boards of directors of TCI and IOT in the
Olive Case.

On October 15, 2001, Simon discussed certain new concerns with
Donaldson, Waldman, Eric Redwine, an attorney for BCM, and again with Pers.
Pers, by letter, and in telephone conferences raised a concern regarding whether
or not the language embodied in the draft agreement might be read to indicate
that an appeal, then pending, was being abandoned by the appellants. It was
agreed that a part of the Settlement Agreement would be a voluntary abatement,
assuming the consent of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, in the pending appeal
over issues of jurisdiction which arose from an earlier order from Judge Patel
in which the Court declared that it had jurisdiction to continue consideration
of certain activities of the TCI and IOT directors and of BCM and its officers.

On October 18, 2001, the written Settlement Agreement was filed with
Judge Patel. Pers suggested new language which would make it clear that the
appeal, if abated, was not being abandoned or resolved by agreement and would
revive in the event the contemplated settlement failed to come to fruition. On
October 23, 2001, a press release was issued on behalf of ARL, TCI and IOT
announcing the preliminary agreement with Settlement Counsel providing for ARL
to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of TCI and IOT. On the morning of
December 10, 2001, counsel reported to Judge Patel on their progress and
received the Court's comments. That afternoon and evening the parties worked
through the Court's comments, as well as certain comments relayed to the parties
from Stephen Taylor, the Special Master.

On December 11, 2001, Simon and Donaldson had extensive telephone
conversations with all participants in the negotiation process which resulted in
certain changes being made to the documents and, upon accomplishment of such
changes, the documents then believed to be in final form were filed with Judge
Patel. The Court signed the order preliminarily approving the Settlement
Agreement on December 18, 2001.

On February 1 and 4, 2002, the TCI board of directors again met by
telephone conference to review a revised form of opinion from Houlihan Lokey,
which contained proposed revisions to the timing of the conversion period of the
preferred stock available by affirmative election by the TCI stockholders.
During that meeting, discussions ensued concerning the probable timing based
upon potential filings by ARL depending upon the consummation of the TCI merger.
The TCI board of directors concluded that the recommended change in timing of
conversion periods would be beneficial to those TCI stockholders who
affirmatively elect to receive preferred stock. Following these discussions, the
TCI directors reaffirmed their February 1, 2002, determination

that the terms of the Settlement Agreement and contemplated merger are
procedurally and substantively fair to the non-affiliated TCI stockholders as
previously described.

On February 1 and 4, 2002, the IOT board of directors again met by
telephone conference to review a revised form of opinion from Houlihan Lokey,
which contained proposed revisions to the timing of the conversion period of the
preferred stock available by affirmative election by the IOT stockholders.
During that meeting, discussions ensued concerning the probable timing based
upon potential filings by ARL depending upon the consummation of the IOT merger.
The IOT board of directors concluded that the recommended change in timing of
conversion periods would be beneficial to those IOT stockholders who
affirmatively elect to receive preferred stock. Following these discussions, the
IOT directors reaffirmed their February 1, 2002, determination that the terms of
the Settlement Agreement and contemplated merger are procedurally and
substantively fair to the non-affiliated IOT stockholders as previously
described.

On February 4, 2002, the board of directors of ARL had a telephonic
board meeting to begin consideration of the proposed acquisitions of TCI and IOT
by ARL in the manner contemplated by the Settlement Agreement. Present at the
meeting were Earl Cecil, Collene Currie, Richard Humphrey and Joseph Mizrachi.
Karl Blaha was not present. Counsel for ARL and representatives of BCM were
present, telephonically, at this meeting. Following a discussion of the proposed
transaction, the ARL board adjourned until the following afternoon to permit
members of the board to consider information provided by management and to
receive additional information requested by members of the board. The meeting of
the ARL board reconvened on February 5, and the board received presentations
from management regarding the proposed transaction, including detailed
presentations regarding ARL's proposed plan for raising the funds necessary to
pay for shares of TCI and IOT common stock to be purchased from stockholders not
affiliated with ARL or BCM. In addition, the ARL board received representations
from legal counsel to ARL and discussed with management of ARL and ARL's legal
counsel matters relating to the proposed transactions. Mr. Cecil, Ms. Currie and
Mr. Humphrey were present, in person, at the meeting of the ARL board on
February 5. Mr. Blaha and Mr. Mizrachi were not present. Following an extended
discussion regarding the proposed transactions among ARL, TCI and IOT and other
matters related to the current and proposed business operations of ARL, the
board again adjourned its meeting until the following afternoon. Subsequent to
the adjournment of the ARL board's meeting on February 5, Mr. Blaha tendered his
resignation as a member of the ARL board and as an officer of ARL, TCI and IOT.
Mr. Blaha did not communicate the reasons for his resignation to the ARL board
or to the boards of TCI or IOT.

On February 6, 2002, the ARL board reconvened telephonically. Present
for the entire meeting were Ms. Currie, Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Mizrachi. Mr. Cecil
joined the meeting after it was in progress. Following a discussion of the
proposed transaction, the board unanimously approved the proposed transactions
between ARL and each of TCI and IOT and determined to recommend that
stockholders of ARL approve the transactions. Following these actions, the board
adjourned its meeting.

On February 12, 2002 the Court signed the order finally approving the
Settlement Agreement.

TCI'S PURPOSE AND REASONS FOR THE TCI MERGER

In reaching its decision to approve the TCI merger agreement, and to
recommend that TCI stockholders approve the TCI merger agreement, the TCI board
of directors consulted with management and its legal and financial advisors. The
TCI board of directors considered a number of factors including, without
limitation, the following:

o The current and historical market prices of TCI common stock
relative to the merger consideration and the fact that the
$17.50 per share merger consideration represented a 44.6%
premium over the average closing price of TCI common stock
over the thirty trading days prior to October 23, 2001.

o The fact that the merger consideration is all cash, which
provides certainty of value to non-affiliated TCI stockholders
compared to a transaction in which stockholders would only
receive stock.

o The fact that non-affiliated TCI stockholders have the
opportunity to affirmatively elect to receive ARL preferred
stock instead of cash.

o It is the view of the TCI board of directors that the trading
value for shares of TCI common stock was not likely to exceed
the merger price in the near term if TCI remained independent.

o The potential stockholder value that could be expected to be
generated from other strategic options available to TCI,
including (a) remaining independent and continuing to
implement its growth strategy, or (b) pursuing other strategic
alternatives, as well as the risks and uncertainties
associated with those alternatives.

o The financial presentation of Houlihan Lokey and the opinion
of that firm delivered on February 1, 2002 to the TCI board of
directors to the effect that, based upon and subject to the
matters set forth in that opinion, as of February 1, 2002, the
consideration to be offered to the non-affiliated TCI public
stockholders pursuant to the TCI merger agreement was fair
from a financial point of view to those holders.

o The terms of the TCI merger agreement, as reviewed by the TCI
board of directors with TCI legal advisors including:

o the absence of any financing condition.

o no termination fee if the TCI merger agreement is
terminated.

o consummation of the TCI merger agreement resolving
expensive, inconvenient and distracting litigation.

October 23, 2001, that ARL had agreed to acquire the
non-affiliated stockholder interest in TCI and after
discussing with TCI's advisors the potential risks, costs and
benefits of contacting other third parties, that there was
insufficient reason to justify the risk of delay in proceeding
with the favorable transaction with ARL.

o In the view of the TCI board of directors, based upon the
advice of management after consultation with its legal
counsel, the regulatory approvals necessary to consummate the
TCI merger could be obtained.

o TCI will no longer exist as an independent company, and its
stockholders will no longer participate in the growth of TCI
or the pursuit of its standalone business plan and other
factors set forth in the TCI certificate of incorporation.

o Under the terms of the TCI merger agreement, the fact that
gains from an all cash transaction would be taxable to TCI
stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

During its consideration of the transaction with ARL, the TCI board of
directors were also aware that certain directors and executive officers of TCI
may have interests in the merger that are different from or in addition to those
of non-affiliated TCI stockholders generally, as described under "Interests of
Certain Persons in the Business Combination."

The discussion of the information and factors considered and given and
weighed by the TCI board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but it
is believed to address the material information and factors considered by the
TCI board of directors. In view of the number and variety of these factors, the
TCI board of directors did not find it practicable to make specific assessments
of or otherwise assign relative weights to, the specific factors and analyses
considered in reaching its determination. The determination to approve and
recommend the TCI merger agreement was made after consideration of all of the
factors and analyses as a whole. In addition, individual members of the TCI
board of directors may have given different weights to different factors.

IOT'S PURPOSE AND REASONS FOR THE IOT MERGER

In reaching its decision to approve the IOT merger agreement and to
recommend that IOT stockholders approve the IOT merger agreement, the IOT board
of directors consulted with management and its legal and financial advisors. The
IOT board of directors considered a number of factors, including, without
limitation, the following:

o The current and historical market prices of IOT common stock
relative to the merger consideration, and the fact that the
$19 per share merger consideration represented a 28.7% premium
over the average closing price of IOT common stock over the
thirty trading days prior to October 23, 2001.

o The fact that the merger consideration is all cash, which
provides certainty of value to non-affiliated IOT stockholders
compared to a transaction in which stockholders would only
receive stock.

o The fact that non-affiliated IOT stockholders have the
opportunity to affirmatively elect to receive ARL preferred
stock instead of cash.

o It is the view of the IOT board of directors that the trading
value for shares of IOT common stock was not likely to exceed
the merger price in the near term if IOT remained independent.

o The potential stockholder value that can be expected to be
generated from other strategic options available to IOT,
including (a) remaining independent and continuing to
implement its growth strategy, or (b) pursuing other strategic
alternatives, as well as the risk and uncertainties associated
with those alternatives.

o The financial presentation of Houlihan Lokey and the opinion
of that firm delivered on February 1, 2002 to the IOT board of
directors to the effect that, based upon and subject to the
matters set forth in that opinion, as of February 1, 2002, the
consideration to be offered to the non-affiliated IOT public
stockholders pursuant to the IOT merger agreement was fair
from a financial point of view to those holders.

o The terms of the IOT merger agreement, as reviewed by the IOT
board of directors with IOT legal advisors including:

o the absence of any financing condition.

o no termination fee if the IOT merger agreement is
terminated.

o consummation of the IOT merger agreement finally
putting to end an expensive, inconvenient,
distracting litigation.

o The IOT board of directors' determination, based on the fact
that no other offers to acquire IOT common stock have been
made at a level equal to or better than the merger
consideration of $19 per share after initial press reports on
and after October 23, 2001, that ARL had agreed to acquire the
non-affiliated stockholder interest in IOT and after
discussing with IOT's advisors the potential risks, costs and
benefits of contacting other third parties, that there was
insufficient reason to justify the risk of delay in proceeding
with the favorable transaction with ARL.

o In the view of the IOT board of directors, based upon the
advice of management after consultation with its legal
counsel, the regulatory approvals necessary to consummate the
IOT merger could be obtained.

o IOT will no longer exist as an independent company, and its
stockholders will no longer participate in the growth of IOT
or the pursuit of its standalone business plan and other
factors set forth in the IOT certificate of incorporation.

o Under the terms of the IOT merger agreement, the fact that
gains from an all cash transaction would be taxable to IOT
stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

During its consideration of the transaction with ARL, the IOT board of
directors were also aware that certain directors and executive officers of IOT
may have interests in the merger that are different from or in addition to those
of non-affiliated IOT stockholders generally, as described under "Interests of
Certain Persons in the Business Combination."

The discussion of the information and factors considered and given and
weighted by the IOT board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but it
is believed to address the material information and factors considered by the
IOT board of directors. In view of the number and variety of these factors, the
IOT board of directors did not find it practicable to make specific assessments
of or otherwise assign relative weights to, the specific factors and analyses
considered in reaching its determination. The determination to approve and
recommend the IOT merger agreement was made after consideration of all of the
factors and analyses as a whole. In addition, individual members of the IOT
board of directors may have given different weights to different factors.

ARL'S PURPOSE AND REASONS FOR THE MERGER

In reaching its decision to approve and recommend to the ARL
stockholders the TCI merger agreement and the IOT merger agreement, the ARL
board of directors consulted with management and its legal advisors and
considered a number of factors, including, without limitation, the following:

o The current and historical market prices of the TCI and IOT common stock
relative to the historical market prices of the ARL common stock.

o The current and historical market prices of the TCI and IOT common stock
relative to the merger consideration being offered the TCI and IOT
stockholders.

o The view of the ARL board of directors that an increase in the size and
diversity of ARL's portfolio of developed and undeveloped real estate
would benefit the company by increasing the development opportunities
available to it and providing it with increased financial flexibility.

o The view of the ARL board of directors that stockholders of ARL would
benefit from an increase in the size of ARL's asset base and a
diversification of its real estate portfolio.

o The expectation of the ARL board of directors following discussions with
management that the cash to be paid as merger consideration could be
raised in large part from sales of real estate held by TCI and IOT
themselves.

o The fact that stockholders of TCI and IOT affiliated with ARL hold
approximately 14.9% and 7.4% of the issued and outstanding common stock
of TCI and IOT respectively, and that those affiliated stockholders will
accept preferred stock of ARL in lieu of cash as merger consideration.

o The expectation of the ARL board of directors that the TCI and IOT
mergers would not be consummated unless, in each case, sufficient cash
was available to ARL, either from its own resources or from TCI or IOT
immediately after the mergers, to pay the cash merger consideration due
as a result of the mergers.

o The fact that the TCI and IOT mergers are not conditioned upon one
another.

o The ARL board of directors understanding, based upon advice of
management and after consultation with its legal counsel, that any
regulatory approvals necessary to consummate the TCI and IOT mergers
could be obtained.

During its consideration of the proposed transactions with TCI and IOT,
the ARL board of directors were aware that certain executive officers and
directors of ARL may have interests in the proposed transactions that are
different from or in addition to those of ARL's non-affiliated stockholders
generally, as described under "Interests of Certain Persons in the Business
Combination."

The discussion of the information and factors considered and given and
weighted by the ARL board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but its
believed to address the material information and factors considered by the ARL
board of directors. In the view of the number and variety of these factors, the
ARL board of directors did not find it practicable to make specific assessment
of or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors and analyses
considered in reaching its determination. The determination to approve and
recommend the TCI and IOT merger agreements was made after consideration of all
of the factors and analyses as a whole. In addition, individual members of the
ARL board of directors may have given different weights to different factors.

FINANCING OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

ARL estimates that approximately $94,235,586 will be required, if all
non-affiliated TCI and IOT stockholders take cash in exchange for their shares
of TCI common stock and IOT common stock, and to pay the related fees and
expenses of the transactions set forth in this section. The actual amount
required to purchase such shares and pay the related expenses will depend on the
number of stockholders who affirmatively elect to receive Series G and Series H
preferred stock. Consequently, the greater number of stockholders who
affirmatively elect to receive Series G and Series H preferred stock the less
funds will be required to pay the cash merger consideration and certain of the
related expenses. The following table contains an itemized list of funds
applicable to the individual mergers as well as funds that apply to both
mergers. This table assumes that all non-affiliated TCI and IOT stockholders
take the cash merger consideration.

ARL expects the amount of funds needed to complete the business
combination to be funded first through new loans and, if necessary, through
internally generated funds from the sale (or use as collateral for loans) of a
number of assets. The amount of loans, and the sale of assets, if necessary,
will depend on the number of stockholders who accept cash rather than
affirmatively elect to receive Series G and Series H preferred stock. The more
stockholders who elect to receive Series G and Series H preferred stock will
reduce the amount of cash needed to pay the cash merger consideration and in
turn will affect the amount of loans and whether the assets need to be sold. At
the date of this joint proxy statement and prospectus, while preliminary
discussions for new financings have occurred, no written formal commitment has
been issued by any of the lenders. Similarly, no stated or effective interest
rates or other material terms of any financing arrangement have been agreed.
ARL, TCI and IOT have available a number of real property assets which should be
able to be sold (or used as collateral for loans) if such funds are necessary,
however, presently there are no written or oral contracts to sell any of the
assets. The table set forth below summarizes the expected loans and the expected
sales of real property that ARL may use to fund the business combination. Some
or all of the loans and property sales may not be required depending on the
amount of cash needed. The properties listed below are more fully described
under "Properties of ARL," "Properties of TCI" and "Properties of IOT," as
applicable. In the event the cash from loans and any sales of assets is greater
than needed to satisfy the cash merger consideration requirements, ARL and its
subsidiaries will use the excess for working capital purposes.

OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR

The board of directors of each of TCI and IOT retained Houlihan Lokey,
pursuant to engagement letters dated October 4, 2001 (the "Engagement Letters"),
to render fairness opinions, from a financial point of view, to public TCI
common stockholders and public IOT common stockholders, in each case excluding
those stockholders affiliated with ARL, of the consideration to be received by
the non-affiliated TCI stockholders and the non-affiliated IOT stockholders in
the merger of TCI and IOT with two subsidiaries of ARL pursuant to which (a)
non-affiliated TCI stockholders will receive: (i) $17.50 in cash or (ii) if they
affirmatively elect, one share of newly issued ARL Series G preferred stock for
each share of TCI common stock that they currently own and (b) non-affiliated
IOT stockholders will receive: (i) $19.00 in cash or (ii) if they affirmatively
elect, one share of newly issued ARL Series H preferred stock. Both the Series G
preferred stock and Series H preferred stock are convertible into ARL common
stock based upon the terms, conditions and exchange ratios set forth herein.
Houlihan Lokey and the board of directors of each of TCI and IOT amended the
Engagement Letters on February 1, 2002, to provide for Houlihan Lokey's
performance of certain additional financial advisory services on behalf of the
board of directors of each of TCI and IOT, specifically, conducting negotiations
with ARL regarding the mergers.

Houlihan Lokey is a nationally recognized investment banking firm that
provides financial advisory services in connection with mergers and
acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, business valuations for a variety of regulatory
and planning purposes, recapitalizations, financial restructurings, and private
placements of debt and equity securities. In November of 1999, Houlihan Lokey
acted as financial advisor to an affiliate of ARL, TCI and IOT, National Realty,
L. P. ("NRLP"), and rendered a fairness opinion with respect to the
consideration to be received by unitholders of NRLP in connection with a
business combination. The board of directors of each of TCI and IOT selected
Houlihan Lokey to provide the financial advisory

----------

subject to change depending on interim sales and market conditions.

services described herein upon a referral from NRLP and because of Houlihan
Lokey's reputation as a nationally recognized valuation and financial consulting
firm that has substantial experience providing valuation and consulting
services. TCI agreed to pay Houlihan Lokey a fee of $340,000 and IOT agreed to
pay Houlihan Lokey a fee of $60,000, in each case for its preparation and
delivery of a fairness opinion plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that may
be incurred by Houlihan Lokey in connection herewith, plus a refundable
indemnification deposit of $42,500 from TCI and a refundable indemnification
deposit of $7,500 from IOT. In accordance with the Settlement Agreement in the
Olive Litigation, Mr. Phillips, BCM and ARL are required to reimburse TCI and
IOT for such expenses. Pursuant to the amendment to the Engagement Letters, TCI
and IOT agreed to jointly pay Houlihan Lokey an additional fee of $100,000 for
the additional services described below. No portion of Houlihan Lokey's fee is
contingent upon the successful completion of the mergers or any other related
transaction. Houlihan Lokey has been retained by TCI and IOT to deliver fairness
opinions to the board of directors of TCI and IOT and provide certain additional
financial advisory services on behalf of the board of directors of each of TCI
and IOT, specifically, to conduct negotiations with ARL regarding the terms of
the Series G preferred and the Series H preferred. TCI and IOT agreed to
indemnify Houlihan Lokey and its affiliates against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under federal securities laws that arise out of the
engagement of Houlihan Lokey.

At joint meetings of the TCI and IOT boards of directors on February 1,
2002, Houlihan Lokey rendered its oral opinion regarding the consideration to be
received by the stockholders of TCI and IOT in connection with the mergers.
Thereafter, Houlihan Lokey assisted the TCI and IOT boards of directors with
respect to certain negotiations regarding modifications to the terms of the
Series G preferred stock and Series H preferred stock. On February 4, 2002,
Houlihan Lokey confirmed in writing, that as of February 1, 2002, and subject to
and based upon the various qualifications and assumptions set forth in its
written opinions, the consideration to be received by the stockholders of TCI
and IOT in connection with the mergers was fair, from a financial point of view,
to the non-affiliated TCI stockholders and the non-affiliated IOT stockholders.
The full text of Houlihan Lokey's opinions, which set forth the assumptions
made, general procedures followed, factors considered and limitations on the
review undertaken by Houlihan Lokey in rendering its opinions are attached
hereto as APPENDIX E and APPENDIX F and are incorporated herein by reference.
The discussion of the opinions below is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the opinions. You are urged to read Houlihan Lokey's opinions in their
entirety carefully for a description of the procedures followed, the factors
considered and the assumptions made by Houlihan Lokey.

Houlihan Lokey's opinions to the TCI and IOT boards of directors
address only the fairness from a financial point of view of the consideration to
be received in the mergers. Houlihan Lokey's opinions do not constitute a
recommendation as to how any person should vote with respect to the mergers or a
recommendation as to the form and amount of consideration that any person should
elect in connection with the mergers. Houlihan Lokey is not rendering any
opinion on the current or prospective public share prices of any of TCI, IOT or
ARL (collectively, the "Subject Companies"). Houlihan Lokey's opinions also do
not address TCI's or IOT's underlying business decision to effect the mergers,
the tax consequences of the mergers, the fair market value of any of the Subject
Companies' assets either individually or collectively, or the reasonableness of
any aspect of the mergers not expressly addressed in its fairness opinions.
Houlihan Lokey has not been requested and does not intend to update, revise or
reaffirm its

fairness opinion in connection with the mergers. Events that could affect the
fairness of the mergers, from a financial point of view, include adverse changes
in industry performance or market conditions and changes to the business,
financial condition and results of operations of the Subject Companies.

In arriving at its fairness opinions, among other things, Houlihan
Lokey assumed that: (i) each Series G share will have a liquidation preference
of $20.00 per share and will pay a cash dividend of 10 percent per annum; (ii)
each Series H share will have a liquidation preference of $21.50 per share and
will pay a cash dividend of 10 percent per annum; (iii) at the holders' option,
each Series G share is convertible into 2.5 shares of ARL common stock during a
75 day period commencing on the fifteenth day after the public issuance of ARL's
form 10-Q (the "10-Q Issuance Date") to the public following the close date of
the mergers; (iv) at the holders' option, each Series H share is convertible
into 2.25 shares of ARL common stock during a 75 day period commencing on the
fifteenth day after the 10-Q Issuance Date following the close date of the
mergers; and (v) the Series G and Series H shares will be redeemable by ARL 90
days after the 10-Q Issuance Date following the close date of the mergers at the
liquidation preference plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.

In arriving at its fairness opinions, among other things, Houlihan
Lokey:

1. met with certain members of the senior management of the
Subject Companies and their advisor, BCM, to discuss the
operations, financial condition, future prospects and
projected operations and performance of the Subject Companies;

2. visited certain facilities and business offices of the Subject
Companies;

3. reviewed the Subject Companies' annual reports to stockholders
and on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000
and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the three quarters
ended September 30, 2001, which Subject Companies' management
have identified as being the most current financial statements
available;

4. reviewed forecasts and projections prepared by the Subject
Companies management with respect to the Subject Companies'
apartment, retail, industrial, hotel and office building
assets for the years ended December, 2002 through 2006;

5. requested the latest appraisals on the Subject Companies'
income producing properties and any and all appraisals for the
Subject Companies' land assets, and reviewed such appraisals
as were provided by management;

6. reviewed ARL's Land Portfolio Book dated September 2001;

7. reviewed certain estimated valuations of TCI and IOT prepared
in connection with the Settlement Agreement;

8. reviewed the historical market prices and trading volume for
the Subject Companies' publicly traded securities;

9. reviewed certain other publicly available financial data for
certain companies that Houlihan Lokey deems comparable to the
Subject Companies; and

10. conducted such other studies, analyses and inquiries as
Houlihan Lokey deemed appropriate.

ANALYSES

In order to determine the fairness, from a financial point of view, of
the consideration to be received by the non-affiliated IOT stockholders and the
non-affiliated TCI stockholders in the mergers, Houlihan Lokey determined an
indicated range per share of equity net asset values for ARL, IOT and TCI and
compared such per share concluded equity net asset values to each other and to
the ARL per share public trading price. This analysis was premised upon a
valuation of each of the Subject Companies' income and non-income producing
properties and other assets and considered their respective liabilities.

In determining the value of the Subject Companies' income producing
properties, Houlihan Lokey conducted several analyses, including the following:
(1) a "Net Asset Value" approach whereby Houlihan Lokey (a) applied
capitalization rates to historical and projected adjusted net operating income
for each of the income producing properties held by the Subject Companies (the
"Income Producing Properties") and (b) estimated the present value of the
projected future cash flows to be generated from the Income Producing Properties
by applying a discount rate to the projected future cash flow, (2) a "Portfolio"
approach whereby Houlihan Lokey determined a level of earnings considered to be
representative of future performance of the Subject Companies, and capitalized
such figure with a risk-adjusted rate, and (3) various other analyses. Houlihan
Lokey used the following valuation methodologies to determine the value of the
land assets: historical sales price per square foot, outstanding offers and
letters of intent, management estimates and book value. In addition, certain
assets, such as Pizza World, Signature Athletic Club and parking lots, were
valued by employing the market multiple approach and other assets, including
notes receivable and oil and gas operations, were valued at book value.

NET ASSET VALUE APPROACH - INCOME PRODUCING PROPERTY

DIRECT CAPITALIZATION

In conducting the direct capitalization net asset value approach,
Houlihan Lokey applied (x) rates from publicly available capitalization rates
estimated in the Second Quarter 2001 Market Monitor and the Fall 2001 Real
Estate Outlook by Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. and The Appraisal Institute to (y)
each of the Income Producing Properties (i) adjusted net operating income for
the twelve months ended September 30, 2001 and (ii) projected adjusted net
operating income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. The capitalization
rates used in the direct capitalization approach ranged from 8.9% to 15.9% for
the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2001 and from 9.3% to 16.4% for the
twelve month period ended December 31, 2002.

DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW

In conducting the discounted cash flow net asset value approach,
Houlihan Lokey applied a discount rate to the projected future cash flows of
each Income Producing Property to arrive at present value of such Income
Producing Property. The applicable Subject Company provided Houlihan Lokey with
the property level historical and projected financial information used to
determine the net operating income of each property. The discount rates used in
the discounted cash flow approach ranged from 11.3% to 18.3% and were intended
to reflect risks of ownership of the relevant Income Producing Property and the
associated risks of realizing the stream of projected future cash flows.
Houlihan Lokey's ability to use the discounted cash flow method of valuation was
limited by the lack of availability of necessary forecasts for certain Income
Producing Properties resulting from changes in tenant occupancy or other factors
that effect projected performance for certain Income Producing Properties.
Accordingly, Houlihan Lokey utilized the discount cash flow method only for
those assets with forecasts considered relevant. Additionally, based upon
Houlihan Lokey's discussions with management, due diligence and analysis of
projections, in some instances the discount rate was adjusted to reflect
additional uncertainty and risk associated with the projections.

SELECTED ASSET VALUES

Based upon the valuation indications of both the direct capitalization
and discounted cash flow analyses, Houlihan Lokey selected a range of values for
each asset. Following the determination of the individual income producing
property asset values, each property's value was allocated to the Subject
Companies based on respective ownership of the assets.

PORTFOLIO (MARKET) APPROACH - INCOME PRODUCING PROPERTY

The Subject Companies own various real estate assets that were
combined, based on asset types, into portfolios. Property level financial data
was provided by the applicable Subject Company based on internally prepared
property operating statements. The market approach consists of determining a
level of earnings and capitalizing this figure by an appropriate risk-adjusted
rate. This approach provides an indication of value for the security, which
corresponds with the particular earnings figure being capitalized. For purposes
of determining the value of the Income Producing Properties owned by the Subject
Companies, net operating income was utilized as a representative level of
earnings for the office, hotel, apartment, retail and industrial assets.

In using the portfolio (market) approach, Houlihan Lokey applied
debt-free market capitalization rates to net operating income of the various
categories of Income Producing Properties of the Subject Companies, in each case
to arrive at the values of the Income Producing Properties.

Houlihan Lokey utilized the Subject Companies' internal financial
statements to determine consolidated net operating income for the twelve months
ended September 30, 2001 and management projections for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2002. In performing the portfolio (market) analysis, Houlihan Lokey
applied capitalization rates ranging from 9.5% to 15.0% to the net operating
income for the twelve months ended September 30, 2001.

ARL VALUATION

Based on the portfolio (market) analysis conducted by Houlihan Lokey,
Houlihan Lokey estimated a range of asset value for ARL's income producing
property as follows: (1) $230.5 million to $254.7 million for the ARL apartment
portfolio, (2) $50.7 million to $55.8 million for the ARL office portfolio, (3)
$70.7 million to $77.1 million for the ARL shopping center portfolio and (4)
$68.8 million to $80.3 million for ARL's hotel portfolio. In utilizing the "Net
Asset Value" approach, Houlihan Lokey estimated a range of asset value for ARL's
income producing property as follows: (1) $237.6 million to $248.8 million for
apartment assets, (2) $59.4 million to $65.0 million for hotel assets, (3)
$120.9 million to $133.0 million for office assets and (4) $84.4 million to
$90.6 million for retail assets. Houlihan Lokey estimated a range of asset
values for ARL's land assets of $290.0 million to $400.0 million. The estimate
asset value for other assets such as investments in joint ventures, Pizza World,
oil & gas operations, notes receivable, accounts receivable, escrows and earnest
money, net other liabilities such as accounts payable, property taxes and
accrued expenses, was $27.6 million to $35.1 million. Houlihan Lokey estimated a
range of value for ARL's investment in real estate securities of $7.8 million to
$10.5 million for ARL's 28.3 percent ownership interest in IOT and $86.3 million
to $122.8 million for ARL's 49.7 percent ownership interest in TCI. These
estimated values were calculated based upon ARL's percentage ownership in TCI
and IOT multiplied by Houlihan Lokey's concluded equity net asset values for TCI
and IOT.

Based on the approaches discussed above, Houlihan Lokey estimated a
range of concluded enterprise values for ARL of $873.1 million to $1,071.0
million, a range of concluded equity net asset values for ARL of $125.7 million
to $262.0 million and a range of per share concluded equity net asset values of
$11.05 to $23.03.

IOT VALUATION

Based on the portfolio (market) analysis conducted by Houlihan Lokey,
Houlihan Lokey estimated a range of asset value for IOT's income producing
property as follows: (1) $23.8 million to $26.3 million for the IOT apartment
portfolio and (2) $38.1 million to $41.9 million for the IOT office portfolio.
In utilizing the "Net Asset Value" approach, Houlihan Lokey estimated a range of
asset value for IOT's income producing property as follows: (1) $21.5 million to
$22.8 million for apartment assets and (2) $41.3 million to $50.2 million for
office assets. The estimated asset value for IOT's land assets was $24.6 million
to $31.6 million. The estimated asset value for other assets such as investments
in joint ventures, notes receivable, accounts receivable and escrow deposits,
net other liabilities such as accounts payable, property taxes and security
deposits was -$0.6 million to $0.5 million.

Based on the approaches discussed above, Houlihan Lokey estimated a
range of concluded enterprise values for IOT of $86.3 million to $102.7 million,
a range of concluded equity net asset values for IOT of $27.4 million to $37.0
million and a range of per share concluded equity net asset values of $19.04 to
$25.71.

TCI VALUATION

Based on the portfolio (market) analysis conducted by Houlihan Lokey,
Houlihan Lokey estimated a range of asset value for TCI's income producing
property as follows: (1) $221.0 million to $244.3 million for the TCI apartment
portfolio, (2) $200.6 million to $220.7 million for the TCI office portfolio,
(3) $25.6 million to $28.0 million for the TCI shopping center portfolio, (4)
$49.7 million to $54.7 million for the TCI industrial portfolio and (5) $13.1
million to $15.1 million for TCI's hotel portfolio. In utilizing the "Net Asset
Value" approach, Houlihan Lokey estimated a range of asset value for TCI's
income producing property as follows: (1) $270.4 million to $296.0 million for
apartment assets (2) $17.6 million to $18.6 million for hotel assets, (3) $51.7
million to $60.7 million for industrial/warehouse assets, (4) $225.9 million to
$261.8 million for office assets and (5) $28.0 million to $32.5 million for
retail assets. Houlihan Lokey estimated a range of asset values for TCI's land
assets from $68.0 million to $97.0 million. The estimated asset value for other
assets such as investments in joint ventures, the Signature Athletic Club, Alamo
and West End parking lots, notes receivable, advances to affiliates, accounts
receivable, pending purchases and escrow deposits, net other liabilities such as
accounts payable, property taxes and security deposits was $10.9 million to
$15.1 million. Houlihan Lokey estimated a range of asset value for TCI's
investment in real estate securities of $6.6 million to $8.9 million for TCI's
24 percent ownership interest in IOT and $7.9 million to $16.5 million for TCI's
6.3 percent ownership interest in ARL. These estimated values were calculated
based upon TCI's percentage ownership in ARL and IOT multiplied by Houlihan
Lokey's concluded equity net asset values for ARL and IOT.

Based on the approaches discussed above, Houlihan Lokey estimated a
range of concluded enterprise values for TCI of $645.2 million to $754.0
million, a range of concluded equity net asset values for TCI of $173.6 million
to $247.1 million and a range of per share concluded equity net asset values of
$20.68 to $29.44.

EXCHANGE RATIO ANALYSIS

Based on the foregoing valuation estimates, Houlihan Lokey notes that
the indicated exchange ratios based on net asset values of IOT and TCI and the
lowest estimated net asset value of ARL was 1.72 to 2.33 for IOT and 1.87 to
2.66 for TCI on an after tax basis and 1.25 to 1.82 for IOT and 1.42 to 2.11 on
a before tax basis.

In conclusion, Houlihan Lokey's analyses indicated that the
consideration being offered to the non-affiliated TCI stockholders and the
non-affiliated IOT stockholders in connection with the mergers is fair from a
financial point of view.

Houlihan Lokey's opinions are based on the business, economic, market
and other conditions as they existed as of February 1, 2002, and on the
projected financial information provided to Houlihan Lokey as of that date. In
rendering its opinions, Houlihan Lokey has relied upon and assumed, without
independent verification, that the historical and projected financial
information (including the future value and estimated sale dates of the land
held for sale) provided to Houlihan Lokey by the Subject Companies has been
reasonably and accurately prepared based upon the best current available
estimates of the financial results and condition of the Subject Companies.
Houlihan Lokey did not independently verify the accuracy or

completeness of the information supplied to it with respect to the Subject
Companies and does not assume responsibility with respect to it. Except as set
forth above, Houlihan Lokey did not make any independent appraisal of the
specific properties or assets of the Subject Companies.

The summary set forth above describes the material points of more
detailed analyses performed by Houlihan Lokey in arriving at its fairness
opinions. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytical process
involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods
of financial analysis and application of those methods to the particular
circumstances and is therefore not readily susceptible to summary description.
In arriving at its opinions, Houlihan Lokey made qualitative judgments as to the
significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, Houlihan
Lokey believes that its analyses and summary set forth herein must be considered
as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses, without considering all
analyses and factors, or portions of this summary, could create an incomplete
view of the processes underlying the analyses set forth in Houlihan Lokey's
fairness opinions. In its analysis, Houlihan Lokey made numerous assumptions
with respect to the Subject Companies, industry performance, general business,
economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are
beyond the control of the respective entities. The estimates contained in the
analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future
results or values, which may be more or less favorable than suggested by the
analyses. However, there were no specific factors reviewed by Houlihan Lokey
that did not support its opinions. Additionally, analyses relating to the value
of businesses or securities are not appraisals. Accordingly, the analyses and
estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty.

DETERMINATION AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE TCI BOARD OF DIRECTORS

On February 1, 2002, the TCI board of directors met by telephone
conference to consider the recommendation of the TCI merger, to approve the
filing of documents with the SEC and to authorize the executive officers to
finalize this joint proxy statement and prospectus and the related filings. At
that meeting, counsel for TCI reviewed and compared the terms of the TCI merger
agreement to the requirements under the Settlement Agreement. At that meeting,
Houlihan Lokey made a presentation to the TCI board of directors on the
financial analyses performed by Houlihan Lokey in connection with its fairness
analysis. Houlihan Lokey also made a presentation concerning the fairness of the
consideration to be offered to the non-affiliated TCI public stockholders in the
merger and delivered their opinion that the amount of the consideration to be
offered in the TCI merger was fair from a financial point of view to those
non-affiliated TCI stockholders. Following the presentations, all of the TCI
directors determined that the terms of the Settlement Agreement and contemplated
merger were procedurally and substantively fair to the non-affiliated TCI
stockholders and approved the terms of the merger and the TCI merger agreement.
The TCI board of directors believe that the following helped insure the
procedural fairness of the proposed TCI merger to the non-affiliated TCI
stockholders, all as required by the Settlement Agreement:

o That the TCI board of directors obtain an opinion from
Houlihan Lokey that the consideration to be offered to the
non-affiliated TCI public stockholders in the merger is fair
to them from a financial point of view.

o The procedural mechanism for approval of the TCI merger
agreement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the
votes cast by non-affiliated TCI stockholders.

o The TCI board of directors was aware that all affiliated TCI
stockholders will receive ARL preferred stock in the merger
rather than cash.

o The terms of the proposed TCI merger were dictated principally
from the Settlement Agreement from arm's-length negotiations
between Settlement Counsel and counsel for ARL.

o The TCI merger will afford non-affiliated TCI stockholders
with the opportunity (but no obligation) to make an
affirmative election to receive securities rather than cash.

o The terms of the proposed TCI merger were not determined at a
time when market prices were unusually depressed by virtue of
the occurrence of any extraordinary or unique event.

On February 1 and 4, 2002, the TCI board of directors again met by
telephone conference to review a revised form of opinion from Houlihan Lokey,
which contained proposed revisions to the timing of the conversion period of the
preferred stock available by affirmative election by the TCI stockholders.
During that meeting, discussions ensued concerning the probable timing based
upon potential filings by ARL depending upon the consummation of the TCI Merger.
The TCI board of directors concluded that the recommended change in timing of
conversion periods would be beneficial to those TCI stockholders who
affirmatively elect to receive preferred stock. Following these discussions, the
TCI directors reaffirmed their February 1, 2002 determination that the terms of
the Settlement Agreement and contemplated merger are procedurally and
substantively fair to the non-affiliated TCI stockholders as previously
described.

The Houlihan Lokey opinion was rendered to the TCI board of directors
for its consideration in determining whether to approve the TCI merger agreement
and does not constitute a recommendation to any TCI stockholder as to how such
stockholder should vote.

Based upon all of the information available to the TCI board of
directors, the TCI board of directors unanimously concluded that the terms and
provisions of the TCI merger and TCI merger agreement were fair to and in the
best interests of the non-affiliated TCI stockholders, approved the TCI merger
agreement and recommended that the TCI stockholders approve the TCI merger
agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

DETERMINATION AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE IOT BOARD OF DIRECTORS

On February 1, 2002, the IOT board of directors met by telephone
conference to consider the recommendation of the IOT merger, to approve the
filing of documents with the SEC and to authorize the executive officers to
finalize this joint proxy statement and prospectus and the related filings. At
that meeting, counsel for IOT reviewed and compared the terms of the IOT merger
agreement to the requirements under the Settlement Agreement. At that meeting,
Houlihan Lokey made a presentation to the IOT board of directors on the
financial analyses performed by Houlihan Lokey in connection with its fairness
analysis.

Houlihan Lokey also made a presentation concerning the fairness of the
consideration to be offered to the non-affiliated IOT public stockholders in the
IOT merger and delivered their opinion that the amount of the consideration to
be offered in the IOT merger, was fair from a financial point of view to those
non-affiliated IOT stockholders. Following the presentations, all of the IOT
directors determined that the terms of the Settlement Agreement and contemplated
IOT merger were procedurally and substantively fair to the non-affiliated IOT
stockholders and approved the terms of the IOT merger and the IOT merger
agreement. The IOT board of directors believe that the following helped insure
the procedural fairness of the proposed IOT merger to the non-affiliated IOT
stockholders, all as required by the Settlement Agreement:

o That the IOT board of directors obtain an opinion from
Houlihan Lokey that the consideration to be offered to the
non-affiliated IOT public stockholders in the merger is
fair to them from a financial point of view.

o The procedural mechanism for approval of the IOT merger
agreement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the
votes cast by non-affiliated IOT stockholders.

o The IOT board of directors was aware that all affiliated IOT
stockholders will receive ARL preferred stock in the merger
rather than cash.

o The terms of the proposed IOT merger were dictated principally
from the Settlement Agreement from arm's-length negotiations
between Settlement Counsel and counsel for ARL.

o The IOT merger will afford non-affiliated IOT stockholders
with the opportunity (but no obligation) to make an
affirmative election to receive securities rather than cash.

o The terms of the proposed IOT merger were not determined at a
time when market prices were unusually depressed by virtue of
the occurrence of any extraordinary or unique event.

On February 1 and 4, 2002, the IOT board of directors again met by
telephone conference to review a revised form of opinion from Houlihan Lokey,
which contained proposed revisions to the timing of the conversion period of the
preferred stock available by affirmative election by the IOT stockholders.

IOT directors reaffirmed their February 1, 2002 determination that the terms of
the Settlement Agreement and contemplated merger are procedurally and
substantively fair to the non-affiliated IOT stockholders as previously
described.

The Houlihan Lokey opinion was rendered to the IOT board of directors
for its consideration in determining whether to approve the IOT merger agreement
and does not constitute a recommendation to any IOT stockholder as to how such
stockholder should vote.

Based upon all of the information available to the IOT board of
directors, the IOT board of directors unanimously concluded that the terms and
provisions of the IOT merger and IOT merger agreement were fair to and in the
best interests of the non-affiliated IOT stockholders, approved the IOT merger
agreement and recommended that the stockholders approve the IOT merger agreement
and the transactions contemplated thereby.

EFFECTS OF THE MERGERS; ARL AFTER THE MERGERS

ARL, TCI and IOT have substantially the same management, and affiliated
ownership. While the three companies operate as a group of related companies,
each is a separate and distinct entity and as such, each has separate SEC
reporting obligations, each files separate tax returns with the Internal Revenue
Service and state tax authorities, and each entity has its own board of
directors, including one or more independent directors. Each entity presently
has the same contractual advisor, BCM, and each entity attempts to operate
efficiently given this three entity structure by, among other things, having the
same contractual advisor which results in a consolidation of the general and
administrative functions of the three companies at the BCM level, and in common
offices located in Dallas, Texas. However, the three entity structure does
necessarily result in certain inefficiencies and higher costs. Among the
detriments of the current structure to each of the three entities and their
respective non-affiliated stockholders are the following:

o the need for and costs of three separate outside audits

o the need for and costs of filing separate SEC reports and
separate tax returns for each of the three entities

o the need for and costs of maintaining three separate boards of
directors, each with at least one or more separate independent
directors, and of holding separate board meetings and annual
stockholder meetings for each of the three entities

o inefficiencies resulting from the need to maintain separate
books and records for three public companies, and to institute
and maintain procedural safeguards to protect the interests of
the separate minority interests in each of the three entities

o a limited number of shares in the hands of the public
available which results in illiquidity of the common equity of
the three entities, when compared to the enhanced liquidity
that should exist if substantially all of the common equity of
the three entities were traded as a single common security

o difficulties in explaining to the capital markets the business
plan and strategy on a company-by-company basis, as opposed to
a consolidated basis and the interrelations between the
ownership, businesses and management of the three entities

o the difficulty of matching the available assets with the
available opportunities of the three companies on a
company-by-company basis, as opposed to a consolidated basis.

If the mergers are consummated, TCI and IOT will each become
subsidiaries of ARL. If both mergers are consummated, the current unaffiliated
TCI and IOT stockholders will no longer own their shares of stock. Therefore,
they will not benefit from any future earnings or growth of TCI or IOT or
benefit from any increase of the value of TCI or IOT and will no longer bear the
risk of any decrease in value of TCI or IOT. Instead, former stockholders will
have the right to receive at consummation of the merger, $17.50 in cash for each
share of TCI common stock held, and $19.00 in cash for each share of IOT common
stock held. The benefit to the holders of the TCI common stock and the IOT
common stock of the transaction is the payment of a premium, in cash, above the
respective market values for such stock prior to the announcement of the merger
agreements. This cash payment assures that all non-affiliated TCI and IOT
stockholders will receive a specific cash amount for their respective shares
rather than taking the risks associated with attempting to sell their shares in
the open market. The detriment to such holders (if any) is their inability to
participate as a continuing stockholder in the possible future growth of either
TCI or IOT.

TCI's and IOT's common stock are each currently registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). As a result of
the mergers, the TCI common stock will be delisted from the NYSE, the IOT common
stock will be delisted from the AMEX, the registration of the TCI common stock
and IOT common stock under the Exchange Act will be terminated, and TCI and IOT
will each be relieved of the obligation to comply with the proxy rules of
Regulation 14a under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. Further, TCI and IOT will
no longer be subject to periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and
will cease filing information with the SEC. There will be cost savings
attributable to TCI and IOT no longer being public companies, including legal
and other fees and administrative expenses of personnel relating to the filing
of public documents, and maintenance of boards of directors and committees
required under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the
NYSE and the AMEX.

After consummation of the mergers, ARL will be the only remaining
public entity of the three. The directors of ARL immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the mergers will be the directors of ARL immediately after the
mergers, and the three directors of TCI and IOT will join the board of directors
of ARL following the mergers. The directors of TCI and IOT will not continue to
be the directors of TCI and IOT after the mergers. The officers of ARL, TCI and
IOT immediately prior to the effective time of the mergers will be the officers
of the entities immediately after the mergers. Similarly, no change in the
certificate of incorporation or bylaws of any of the entities is contemplated
prior to the effective time of the mergers or after the consummation of the
mergers.

ARL expects that the business and operations of all three entities will
be continued substantially as they are currently conducted (except that TCI and
IOT will be operated as subsidiaries of ARL) but some adjustments
will be necessitated by the financing of the consideration to be paid to the
non-affiliated TCI stockholders and non-affiliated IOT stockholders in
connection with the mergers. Except as stated in this joint proxy statement and
prospectus, management of ARL does not currently intend to dispose of any
specific assets or operations of ARL, TCI or IOT other than in the ordinary
course of their respective businesses. Management will, from time to time,
continue to evaluate and review the businesses, operations and properties of all
of the entities and make such changes as are deemed appropriate.

Other than by virtue of the mergers (and any possible tender offers
described elsewhere in this joint proxy statement and prospectus), ARL, TCI, IOT
and BCM have no current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in an
extraordinary corporate transaction involving TCI or IOT or any of their
subsidiaries, such a merger, reorganization or liquidation, or a sale or
transfer of a material amount of assets involving TCI or IOT or any of their
subsidiaries, or any material change in the present dividend rate or policy, or
capitalization or indebtedness (except as contemplated by the financing
arrangements described in this joint proxy statement and prospectus) involving
TCI or IOT or any of their subsidiaries, or any change in the present board or
management of TCI or IOT, or any other material change in ARL's or TCI's or
IOT's corporate structure or business. However, management of ARL will review
proposals or may propose the acquisition or disposition of assets or other
changes in ARL and its subsidiaries' business, corporate structure,
capitalization, management or dividend policy that they consider to be in the
best interests of ARL and its stockholders. Neither ARL nor its management has
formulated any specific plans regarding repayment of indebtedness incurred in
connection with the mergers, but it is anticipated that such indebtedness will
be repaid primarily with or by means of cash from operations of the businesses
of ARL and its subsidiaries.

CONDUCT OF THE BUSINESS OF EITHER OR BOTH OF TCI OR IOT IF EITHER MERGER IS NOT
CONSUMMATED

If either of the mergers is not consummated, the board of directors of
TCI or IOT or both and current management will continue to operate each entity's
business substantially as presently operated.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

This section summarizes material U.S. federal income tax considerations
relevant to the stockholders of TCI and IOT participating in the mergers. This
discussion is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), applicable Treasury Regulations, judicial decisions and
current administrative rulings and pronouncements, all as of the date of this
document and any of which may be changed at any time with retroactive effect.
There can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative
rulings or court decisions would not alter the tax consequences set forth below.
The discussion does not address all aspects of federal income taxation that may
be important to particular stockholders in light of their personal investment
circumstances or to stockholders subject to special treatment under the federal
income tax laws (such as dealers in securities, life insurance companies,
foreign persons, broker-dealers, regulated investment companies, tax-exempt
entities, financial institutions, taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum
tax, taxpayers who acquired their TCI or IOT stock as compensation and persons
holding their stock as part of a "straddle," "hedge" or other integrated
investment) and does not address any aspect of state, local or foreign taxation.
For purposes of this discussion, it is assumed that the TCI and IOT stock are
held by the TCI and IOT stockholders respectively, as capital assets at the time
of the consummation of the mergers, within the meaning of Section 1221 of the
Code. THEREFORE, STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO
THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE MERGERS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS,
INCLUDING APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES.

No ruling has been or will be obtained from the Internal Revenue
Service in connection with the mergers. TCI and IOT stockholders should be aware
that an opinion of counsel is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the
courts, and no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service will not
challenge the tax treatment of the mergers.

The following are the material United States federal income tax
consequences of the mergers. The following discussion is based on and subject to
the Code, the regulations promulgated thereunder, existing administrative
interpretations and court decisions and any related laws, all of which are
subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not
address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be
important to you in light of your particular circumstances or if you are subject
to special rules, such as rules relating to:

o stockholders who are not citizens or residents of the United States

o financial institutions

o tax exempt organizations

o insurance companies

o dealers in securities

Jackson Walker L.L.P. has concluded that the mergers will not qualify
as tax-free reorganizations and accordingly they will be taxable transactions.
The mergers will have the following federal income tax consequences upon the
TCI, IOT and ARL stockholders:

1. The TCI stockholders who receive cash in the TCI merger will
recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the
cash received by them; and (ii) their tax basis of their
shares of TCI.

2. The TCI stockholders who receive preferred stock in the TCI
merger will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference
between (i) the fair market value of the preferred stock
received by them; and (ii) their tax basis of their shares of
TCI.

3. The IOT stockholders who receive cash in the IOT merger will
recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the
cash received by them; and (ii) their tax basis of their
shares of IOT.

4. The IOT stockholders who receive preferred stock in the IOT
mergers will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference
between (i) the fair market value of the preferred stock
received by them; and (ii) their tax basis of their shares of
IOT.

5. The tax basis of the preferred stock received by TCI and IOT
stockholders in the merger will equal the fair market value of
the preferred shares at the date the TCI and IOT stockholders
own the shares of preferred stock.

6. The holding period for the shares of our preferred stock
received by TCI and IOT stockholders will not include the
holding period of their TCI or IOT shares.

7. ARL stockholders will not recognize gain or loss as a result
of the mergers.

The foregoing discussion is not based upon an advance ruling by the
United States Treasury Department but upon an opinion of Jackson Walker L.L.P.,
counsel to ARL. The foregoing discussion is not intended to be a complete
analysis or description of all potential United States federal income tax
consequences or any other consequences of the mergers. In addition, the
discussion does not address tax consequences which may vary with, or are
contingent on, your individual circumstances. Moreover, this discussion does not
address any non-income tax or any foreign, state or local tax consequences of
the mergers. Accordingly, we strongly urge you to consult with your tax adviser
to determine the particular United States federal, state, local or foreign
income or other tax consequences to you of the mergers.

The above discussion addresses only the federal income tax
considerations of the proposed transactions to a TCI or an IOT stockholder
generally. The federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the
proposed transactions and the ownership and disposition of stock in ARL are
complex and, in some cases, uncertain. These consequences also may vary based
upon the individual circumstances of each stockholder. Accordingly, TCI and IOT
stockholders are urged to consult, and must rely upon, their own tax advisors as
to the tax consequences to them of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of
stock in ARL, including the applicability of any state, local or foreign tax
laws and any pending or proposed legislation.

REGULATORY APPROVALS

At any time before or after the completion of the merger, the Antitrust
Division of the Justice Department, the Federal Trade Commission or another
third party could seek to enjoin or rescind the mergers on antitrust grounds.

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

Some of the directors and officers of ARL have interests in the
business combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests
of ARL stockholders generally, and that may present actual or potential
conflicts of interest. Likewise, some of the directors and officers of TCI and
IOT have interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of
TCI and IOT stockholders generally. These interests, to the extent material, are
described below. The ARL, TCI and IOT boards of directors were aware of these
interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the respective
agreements and plans of merger and the business combination.

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Messrs. Branigan, Corna, Endendyk, Kimbrough and Starowicz, who serve
as executive officers of ARL, also serve as executive officers of TCI, IOT or
BCM. Each of the individuals, as a result of their position with ARL, owe
fiduciary duties to the stockholders of ARL in addition to the fiduciary duties
owed to the stockholders of TCI and IOT. Additionally, TCI and IOT have the same
officers and directors and, therefore, the directors owe fiduciary duties to
both TCI and IOT. At times, each of these individuals may be confronted by
issues, including the business combination, that present them with potentially
conflicting interests and obligations. Furthermore, in accordance with the
advisory agreements that each of ARL, TCI and IOT have with BCM (as discussed
under the heading "The Advisor"), BCM will receive a fee upon the sale, if any,
of the properties that may be sold to fund the payment of the cash merger
consideration. For the properties available for sale as of February 1, 2002, the
amount of the fee is estimated to be $3,038,815. See "Special Factors -
Financing the Business Combination."

It is currently expected that the directors and officers of ARL, TCI
and IOT will remain the same after the business combination except that the
three directors of TCI and IOT will become directors of ARL. As a result of
these interests as well as those set forth below, the directors and officers of
ARL, TCI and IOT could be more likely to vote to approve the business
combination, the agreements and plans of merger and related matters than if they
did not hold these interests. You should consider whether these interests may
have influenced these directors and officers to support or recommend the
business combination.

STOCK OWNERSHIP

Some of the executive officers and directors of ARL, TCI and IOT own
stock and options of ARL, TCI and IOT. See "SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT OF ARL," "SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT OF TCI" and "SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT OF IOT." As a result, these executive officers
and directors may benefit from that ownership if the business combination is
approved.

STOCK OPTIONS

Certain members of the ARL and TCI boards of directors and management
have been issued options pursuant to certain option plans of ARL and TCI. As of
the record date, executive officers and directors of ARL held options to
purchase a total of 80,000 shares of ARL common stock at exercise prices of
between $9.87 per share and $18.53 per share. Directors of TCI held options to
purchase a total of 50,000 shares of TCI common stock at exercise prices of
between $8.875 per share and $16.05 per share.

OTHER AGREEMENTS AND BENEFIT PLANS

Neither ARL, TCI or IOT has any employees, employment agreements,
benefit plans or other agreements with stockholders. As a result, the directors
and executive officers of each company may have different interests in the
business combination arising primarily from their ownership of stock in either
ARL, TCI or IOT.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

ARL has agreed to cause TCI and IOT to maintain, for a period of three
years after the completion of the business combination, the current provisions
and policies regarding indemnification of officers and directors, provided that
TCI or IOT may substitute policies having at least the same coverage and
containing terms that are no less advantageous to the insured.

THE PLANS OF MERGER

Provided ARL has sufficient funds available to it, either from its own
resources or from TCI and IOT immediately after the mergers, to pay the cash
merger consideration, ARL and each of TCI and IOT will execute and deliver an
agreement and plan of merger following approval of the mergers by ARL's
stockholders and, in the case of TCI and IOT, approval by their respective
stockholders of the mergers. The mergers will be consummated contemporaneously
with or promptly following the execution and delivery of the agreements and
plans of merger. The following is a discussion of the material provisions of
each plan of merger. The full text of each plan of merger is attached as
Appendix A and Appendix B to this joint proxy statement and prospectus and are
incorporated herein by reference. We encourage you to read the applicable plan
of merger in its entirety.

THE MERGER

According to the terms of the plans of merger, at the effective time of
each merger, two separate recently formed wholly-owned subsidiaries of ARL will
merge with TCI and IOT, respectively. The acquisitions of TCI and IOT are not
dependent upon each other. If the stockholders of one company do not approve
their respective merger, only the approved merger may be consummated. TCI and
IOT will survive the merger.

EFFECTIVE TIME OF THE MERGER

The closing of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreements
will take place contemporaneously with or as soon as practicable following the
execution and delivery of each merger agreement. The closing cannot take place
until after the stockholders of TCI or IOT approve their respective mergers.
Additionally, the ARL board of directors has determined that the TCI and IOT
mergers would not be consummated unless, in each case, sufficient cash was
available to ARL, either from its own resources or from TCI or IOT immediately
after the mergers, to pay the cash merger consideration due as a result of the
mergers.

As soon as practicable after the closings, the articles of mergers in
connection with each respective merger will be filed with the Secretary of State
of the State of Nevada, as provided in the Nevada mergers and Exchanges of
Interest Act. The times at which the articles of merger are filed in Nevada and
the Secretary of State issues a certificate of merger is referred to as the
"effective time" of each respective merger.

CONVERSION OF SHARES - EXCHANGE RATIO

If the TCI stockholders approve their merger, each share of outstanding
TCI common stock will be converted into $17.50 in cash, upon the affirmative
election of the stockholder, one share of Series G preferred stock. The cash
consideration shall be reduced by any dividend TCI pays on the TCI common stock
after January 2, 2002. Each share of outstanding TCI common stock held by BCM
and other affiliates of ARL will be converted into one share of Series G
preferred stock and each outstanding share held by TCI, ARL or its subsidiaries
will be cancelled.

If the IOT stockholders approve their merger, each share of outstanding
IOT common stock will be converted into $19.00 in cash, or upon the affirmative
election of the stockholder,

one share of ARL Series H preferred stock. The cash consideration shall be
reduced by any dividend IOT pays on the IOT common stock after January 2, 2002.
Each share of outstanding IOT common stock held by BCM and other affiliates of
ARL will be converted into one share of Series H preferred stock and each
outstanding share held by IOT, TCI, ARL or its subsidiaries will be cancelled.

CLOSING

Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the merger
agreements, or promptly thereafter, a closing will take place at the offices of
Jackson Walker L.L.P., 901 Main Street, Suite 6000, Dallas, Texas or at such
other place as ARL, TCI, IOT and the two newly formed subsidiaries mutually
agree upon.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The merger agreements contain representations and warranties by ARL and
its two recently formed subsidiaries relating to:

o organization and qualification;

o capitalization;

o authority;

o the absence of a breach or any violation of ARL and its two recently
formed subsidiaries articles of incorporation, bylaws, or similar
governing documents;

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

At the effective time of the mergers, all shares of TCI and IOT common
stock will cease to be outstanding and will automatically be canceled and
retired. Each certificate formerly representing TCI and IOT common stock other

use in making your election and exchanging your common stock certificates for
cash or ARL preferred stock certificates. When you surrender your certificates,
together with a signed letter of transmittal, you will receive in exchange
either cash or certificate(s) representing whole shares of ARL preferred stock
to which you are entitled.

YOU SHOULD NOT SEND YOUR CERTIFICATES TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT UNTIL YOU
RECEIVE A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

The transaction will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, ARL will record the assets and liabilities of TCI and
IOT and the consideration paid.

CONSEQUENCES UNDER FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS; RESALE OF ARL STOCK

The sale of shares of Series G and Series H preferred stock issuable in
connection with the mergers has been registered under the Securities Act.
Accordingly, there will be no federal securities law restrictions upon the
resale or transfer of the shares by stockholders, except for those stockholders
who are considered affiliates of ARL, TCI or IOT, as that term is defined in
Rule 144 and Rule 145 adopted under the Securities Act. However, there are
restrictions on the resale of the ARL preferred stock as imposed by ARL's
articles of incorporation. For a full discussion of these restrictions please
see "Description of the Capital Stock of ARL - Description of Preferred Stock."

Series G and Series H stock received by those stockholders who are
considered to be affiliates of ARL, TCI or IOT may be resold without
registration only as provided for by Rule 145 or as otherwise permitted under
the Securities Act. Persons who may be considered to be affiliates of ARL, TCI
or IOT generally include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by
or are under common control with, ARL, TCI or IOT, and may include the executive
officers and directors of ARL, TCI and IOT.

Following the completion of the business combination, the board of
directors of ARL will consist of the current four members of the ARL board and
the three current members of the TCI and IOT boards. No other changes in the
directors, executive officers or management of ARL, TCI or IOT are anticipated.

During the past five years, none of ARL, TCI, IOT, BCM,
Transcontinental Realty Acquisition Corporation, Income Opportunity Acquisition
Corporation or any of their respective executive officers or directors was (i)
convicted in a criminal proceeding during the past five years (excluding traffic
violations or other minor offenses, if any), or (ii) a party to any judicial or
administrative proceeding during the past five years (except for matters that
were dismissed without sanction or settlement, if any) that resulted in a
judgment, decree or final order enjoining the person from future violations of,
or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or a
finding of any violation of federal or state securities laws.

If the mergers are consummated, all fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the mergers will be paid by the party incurring those fees and
expenses, except for the fees and expenses for the fairness opinions, which ARL
is required to pay pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. Estimated fees and

COMPARISON OF OWNERSHIP OF SHARES

After the effective time of the mergers, IOT and TCI stockholders will
be offered the opportunity to affirmatively elect to become stockholders of ARL.
The following is a comparison of the rights of holders of the TCI common stock
and IOT common stock, on the one hand, and the ARL Series G and Series H
preferred stock they will be offered the opportunity to acquire, on the other.
No holder of TCI or IOT common stock will be required to acquire ARL Series G or
Series H preferred stock. Instead, following the mergers, if they occur, holders
of the TCI and IOT common stock will be offered the opportunity to affirmatively
elect to receive ARL Series G or Series H preferred stock in lieu of the cash
they would otherwise receive.

THE ADVISOR - BCM

Although the boards of directors are directly responsible for managing
the affairs of ARL, TCI and IOT and for setting the policies which guide each,
the day-to-day operations of each entity are performed by BCM, a contractual
advisor under the supervision of each 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 also serves as consultant to each entity's board of
directors in connection with the business plan and investment policy decisions
made by the board.

BCM, an affiliate, has served as advisor to ARL since its organization
in July 2000 (and to ART since February 6, 1989) and to TCI and IOT since March
1989 pursuant to separate Advisory Agreements. The Advisory Agreements are
similar with the exception of the compensation provisions, which are discussed
separately below. The business address of BCM is 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite
300, Dallas, Texas 75234; its telephone number of BCM is 469-522-4200.

Messrs. Branigan, Corna, Endendyk, Kimbrough and Starowicz serve as
executive officers of BCM. BCM is a company indirectly owned by a trust for the
benefit of the children of Mr. Phillips. Mr. Phillips serves as a representative
of the trust for the benefit of his children and, in such capacity, had, until
June 2000, substantial contact with the management of BCM and input with respect
to BCM's performance of advisory services for ARL, TCI and IOT.

As of February 11, 2002, BCM directly or indirectly beneficially owned
6,269,344 shares of ARL's common stock, or approximately 55.1% of the shares
outstanding; 1,193,422 shares of TCI's common stock, or approximately 14.8% of
the shares outstanding; and 106,802 shares of IOT's common stock or
approximately 7.4% of the shares outstanding.

ARL COMPENSATION TO BCM

The ARL Advisory Agreement provides for BCM to receive monthly base
compensation at the rate of 0.0625% per month (0.75% on an annualized basis) of
average invested assets, which, as of September 30, 2001, are $912,349,000.

In addition to base compensation, BCM, an affiliate of BCM, or a
related party receives the following forms of additional compensation:

o an acquisition fee for locating, leasing or purchasing real
estate for ARL 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

o 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

o a loan arrangement fee in an amount equal to 1% of the
principal amount of any loan made to ARL arranged by BCM

o 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

o 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 ARL for the fiscal year

The ARL Advisory Agreement further provides that BCM shall bear the
cost of certain expenses of its employees, excluding fees paid to ARL's
directors; rent and other office expenses of both BCM and ARL (unless ARL
maintains office space separate from that of BCM); costs not directly
identifiable to ARL's assets, liabilities, operations, business or financial
affairs; and miscellaneous administrative expenses relating to the performance
by BCM of its duties under the ARL Advisory Agreement.

If and to the extent that ARL shall request BCM, or any director,
officer, partner or employee of BCM, to render services to ARL other than those
required to be rendered by BCM under the ARL Advisory Agreement, such additional
services, if performed, will be compensated separately on terms agreed upon
between such party and ARL from time to time.

The ARL Advisory Agreement automatically renews from year to year
unless terminated in accordance with its terms. ARL's management believes that
the terms of the ARL Advisory Agreement are at least as fair as could be
obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Situations may develop in which the interests of ARL are in conflict
with those of one or more directors or officers of BCM in their individual
capacities, or of their respective affiliates. In addition to services performed
for ARL, 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 IOT and
TCI. The ARL Advisory Agreement provides that BCM may also serve as advisor to
other entities.

As advisor, BCM is a fiduciary of ARL'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 "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions of ARL, TCI and IOT--Certain Business
Relationships."

During the year ended December 31, 2001, ARL paid BCM $20.2 million in
compensation under the ARL Advisory Agreement.

TCI AND IOT COMPENSATION TO BCM

If the TCI and IOT mergers are approved and consummated, it is
contemplated that the Advisory Agreements with TCI and IOT will be terminated.
The Advisory Agreements with each of TCI and IOT provide for BCM to receive an
advisory fee comprised of a gross asset fee of 0.0625% per month (0.75% per
annum) of the average of the gross asset value (total assets less allowance for
amortization, depreciation or depletion and valuation reserves) and an annual
net income fee equal to 7.5% of either TCI's or IOT's net income.

The Advisory Agreements also provide for BCM to receive an annual
incentive sales fee equal to 10% of the amount, if any, by which the aggregate
sales consideration for all real estate sold by either TCI or IOT during such
fiscal year exceeds the sum of: (1) the cost of each such property as originally
recorded in TCI's or IOT's books for tax purposes (without deduction for
depreciation, amortization or reserve for losses), (2) capital improvements made
to such assets during the period owned by either TCI or IOT and (3) all closing
costs, (including real estate commissions) incurred in the sale of such real
estate provided, however, no incentive fee shall be paid unless (a) such real
estate sold in such fiscal year, in the aggregate, has produced an 8% simple
annual return on the net investment including capital improvements, calculated
over the holding period before depreciation and inclusive of operating income
and sales consideration and (b) the aggregate net operating income from all real
estate owned for each of the prior and current fiscal years shall be at least 5%
higher in the current fiscal year than in the prior fiscal year.

Additionally, pursuant to the TCI and IOT Advisory Agreements, BCM or
an affiliate of BCM is to receive an acquisition commission for supervising the
acquisition, purchase or long-term lease of real estate equal to the lesser of
(1) up to 1% of the cost of acquisition, inclusive of commissions, if any, paid
to non-affiliated brokers or (2) the compensation customarily charged in
arm's-length transactions by others rendering similar property acquisition
services as an ongoing public activity in the same geographical location and for
comparable property; provided that the aggregate purchase price of each property
(including acquisition commissions and all real estate brokerage fees) may not
exceed such property's appraised value at acquisition.

The TCI and IOT Advisory Agreements require BCM or any affiliate of BCM
to pay TCI and IOT one-half of any compensation received from third parties with
respect to the origination, placement or brokerage of any loan made by TCI or
IOT; provided, however, that the compensation retained by BCM or any affiliate
of BCM shall not exceed the lesser of (1) 2% of the amount of the loan committed
or (2) a loan brokerage and commitment fee which is reasonable and fair under
the circumstances.

The TCI and IOT Advisory Agreements also provide that BCM or an
affiliate of BCM is to receive a mortgage or loan acquisition fee with respect
to the acquisition or purchase of any existing mortgage loan by TCI or IOT equal
to the lesser of (1) 1% of the amount of the loan purchased or (2) a loan
brokerage or commitment fee which is reasonable and fair under the
circumstances. Such fee will not be paid in connection with the origination or
funding of any mortgage loan by TCI or IOT.

Under the TCI and IOT Advisory Agreements, BCM or an affiliate of BCM
is also to receive a mortgage brokerage and equity refinancing fee for obtaining
loans or refinancing on properties equal to the lesser of (1) 1% of the amount
of the loan or the amount refinanced or (2) a brokerage or refinancing fee which
is reasonable and fair under the circumstances; provided, however, that no such
fee shall be paid on loans from BCM or an affiliate of BCM without the approval
of the TCI or IOT board of directors, as the case may be. No fee shall be paid
on loan extensions.

Under the TCI and IOT Advisory Agreements, BCM receives reimbursement
of certain expenses incurred by it in the performance of advisory services.
Under the Advisory Agreements, all or a portion of the annual advisory fee must
be refunded by BCM if the operating expenses of TCI or IOT (as defined in the
TCI and IOT Advisory Agreements) exceed certain limits specified in the Advisory
Agreement, based on the book value, net asset value and net income of TCI or IOT
during the fiscal year. No refund of the annual advisory fee was required for
2000.

Additionally, if management were to request that BCM render services to
TCI or IOT other than those required by the TCI and IOT Advisory Agreements, BCM
or an affiliate of BCM is separately compensated for such additional services on
terms to be agreed upon from time to time. TCI and IOT have hired Triad Realty
Services, Ltd. ("Triad"), an affiliate of BCM, to perform property management
for TCI's and IOT's properties. Also, TCI and IOT have engaged, on a
non-exclusive basis, Regis Realty, Inc. ("Regis"), a related party, to perform
brokerage services for TCI and IOT. BCM may only assign the TCI and IOT Advisory
Agreements with the prior consent of TCI and IOT.

During the year ended December 31, 2001, TCI paid BCM $22.9 million
under the TCI Advisory Agreement and IOT paid BCM $1.7 million under the IOT
Advisory Agreement.

In October 1999, ARL 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 matured in November
2001. In January 2000, $100,000 of principal was collected. All remaining
principal and interest were due at maturity. A three year extension of the
maturity date to November 2004 has been agreed upon, pending a change in
collateral.

In April 1999, ARL 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
limited partner of Lordstown, L.P., and a profits interest in subsequent land
sales. The loan bears interest at 14.0% per annum and matured in March 2000. At
December 31, 2001, the loan and $741,000 of accrued interest remained unpaid.
Settlement terms are being negotiated. A corporation controlled by Richard D.
Morgan is the general partner of Lordstown, L.P. Mr. Morgan served as a director
of ARL until October 2001.

Also in April 1999, ARL 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 limited partner of 261, L.P. and a profits interest
in subsequent land sales. The loan bore interest at 14.0% per annum and matured
in March 2000. In August 2000, the loan was collected in full, including accrued
but unpaid interest. A corporation controlled by Richard D. Morgan, is the
general partner of 261, L.P. Mr. Morgan served as a director of ARL until
October 2001.

In February 1999, a $5.0 million unsecured line of credit was funded by
ARL to One Realco which owns approximately 14.7% of the outstanding shares of
ARL's common stock. Ronald E. Kimbrough, Acting Principal Executive Officer and
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of ARL owns 10% of the
outstanding common stock of One Realco. In March 2000, the line was modified and
extended, increasing the loan commitment to $11.0 million, and an additional
$1.2 million was funded. In exchange for the modification, the borrower paid all
accrued interest and pledged collateral consisting of a $10.0 million promissory
note secured by the stock of World Trade Company, Ltd. ("World Trade"), which
owns 80% of an entity that owns a hotel in Sofia, Bulgaria. In July 2000, the
line was again modified, increasing the loan commitment to $15.0 million. In
September 2000, the line of credit with a then principal balance of $14.6
million was paid in full, including accrued but unpaid interest. Subsequently,
ARL acquired 100% of the stock of World Trade for $18.0 million. In March 2001,
ARL funded $13.6 million on the unsecured line of credit to One Realco. The line
of credit bears interest at 12.0% per annum. All principal and interest were due
at maturity in February 2002, and the line of credit is guaranteed by BCM, ARL's
advisor. A two year extension of the maturity date to February 2004 has been
agreed upon and the line of credit is to be secured by 600,000 shares of ARL
common stock.

In 1998, ARL funded a loan commitment of $1.8 million to Warwick of
Summit, Inc. ("Warwick"). 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 had an extended maturity date of December 2000. All
principal and interest were due at maturity. In December 1999, the borrower sold
the collateral property and $810,000 of the net proceeds were paid to ARL, of
which $386,000 was applied to interest and the remaining $424,000 was applied to
principal, reducing the principal balance to $1.7 million. Escrowed monies of
$377,000 were to be received in 2000. However, through December 31, 2001, only
$50,000 had been received. The loan is currently unsecured. At January 2002, the
loan and $472,000 of accrued interest remained unpaid. Settlement terms are
being negotiated. Richard D. Morgan, a Warwick shareholder, served as a director
of ARL until October 2001.

Beginning in 1997 through January 1999, ARL 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 undeveloped land in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and (3) the
personal guarantees of the Bordeaux members. The loan bears interest at 14.0%
per annum. 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, interest on the loan ceased being
accrued in the second quarter of 1999. In October 1999, a $724,000 paydown was
received, which was applied first to accrued interest due of $261,000 then to
principal, reducing the loan balance to $1.4 million. In June 2000, the note was
further modified, increasing the loan commitment to $1.5 million, extending the
maturity date to December 2000, and payments to net revenues of the shopping
center. The loan was not repaid at maturity. At December 2002, the loan and
$471,000 of accrued interest remained unpaid. At January 2002,

settlement terms are being negotiated. Richard D. Morgan, a Bordeaux member,
served as a director of ARL until October 2001.

In 1998 and 1999, Garden Capital L.P. ("GCLP") funded $124.4 million of
a $125.0 million loan commitment to ART. The loan was secured by second liens on
six properties in Minnesota, Mississippi and Texas, by the stock of ART
Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary that owned 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 bore interest at 12.0% per
annum, required monthly payments of interest only and would have matured in
November 2003. In February and October 1999, ART made a total of $1.1 million in
paydowns on the loan. Upon the acquisition of ART and NRLP by ARL, this loan was
canceled.

In December 1998, in connection with the settlement of litigation
relating to the original formation of NRLP, NMC, assumed responsibility for
repayment to NRLP of the $12.2 million paid by NRLP to settle the litigation.
The loan bore interest at a variable rate and required 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 was guaranteed by ART. The note was to mature upon the earlier of
the liquidation or dissolution of NRLP, NMC ceasing to be general partner or
March 31, 2009. Upon the merger of ART and NRLP into ARL, the loan was canceled.

In October 1997, ART entered into leases with BCM and an affiliate of
BCM, for space at the One Hickory Centre Office Building, construction of which
was completed in December 1998. The BCM lease, effective upon ART obtaining
permanent financing of the building, was for 75,852 sq. ft. (approximately 75%
of the building), had terms of ten and fifteen years and provided for annual
base rent of $19.25 per sq. ft. for the first year. In January 2001, both leases
were terminated, and ARL entered into a new lease with BCM, effective October 1,
2000. The new lease is for 59,463 sq. ft. (approximately 62% of the building),
has a term of three years, and provides for annual base rent of $1.3 million or
$21.50 per sq. ft.

ARL, TCI and IOT contract with an affiliate of BCM for property
management services. Currently, Triad, an affiliate, provides such property
management services. The general partner of Triad is BCM. The limited partners
of Triad are Mr. Phillips and GS Realty, a related party, which is a company not
affiliated with either Mr. Phillips or BCM. Triad subcontracts the
property-level management of 14 of ARL's commercial properties (office
buildings, shopping centers and a merchandise mart) and eight of its hotels to
Regis, a related party, which is a company owned by GS Realty. Triad also
subcontracts the property-level management and leasing of 52 of TCI's commercial
properties, its four hotels and the commercial properties owned by a real estate
partnership in which TCI and IOT are partners to Regis. Additionally, Triad
subcontracts the property-level management and leasing of IOT's seven office
buildings.

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

income and elderly housing. Eldercare has a revolving loan commitment from
Syntek West, a company owned by Mr. Phillips. The Loan Commitment expired in
1998 and was not renewed. Eldercare filed for bankruptcy protection in May 1995,
and was reorganized in bankruptcy in February 1996, and has since paid all debts
as directed by the Bankruptcy Court.

Regis also provides real estate brokerage services for TCI and IOT, on
a non-exclusive basis, and receives brokerage commissions in accordance with the
brokerage agreement.

BCM has entered into put agreements with certain holders of the Class A
limited partner units of Ocean Beach Partners, L.P. The Class A units are
convertible into Series D Cumulative preferred stock of ARL. The put price of
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 Series B Cumulative Convertible preferred stock of ARL which is further
convertible into common stock of ARL. The put price for the Class A units is
$1.00 per unit and the put price for either the Series B preferred stock or
ARL's common stock is 80% of the average daily closing price of ARL's common
stock for the prior 20 trading days. In March 1999, ARL 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 May 2001. ARL
has committed to purchase the remaining two million units in May 2002.

BCM has entered into put agreements with the holders of the Class A
units of ART Palm, L.P. Such Class A units are convertible into Series C
Cumulative Convertible preferred stock of ARL. The put price for the Class A
units is $1.00 per unit and the put price for either the Series C preferred
stock or ARL's common stock is 90% of the average daily closing price of ARL's
common stock for the prior 20 trading days. In December 2001, approximately 7.2
million Class A limited partner units of ART Palm, L.P. were redeemed for $5.8
million, including $2.5 million in cash. ARL gave a note payable for the
remaining $3.3 million. The note bears interest at 10.0% per annum, with a
payment of $1.9 million plus accrued but unpaid interest due at maturity in
December 2002. In January 2001, 2.5 million Class A limited partner units of ART
Palm, L.P. were redeemed for $2.5 million in cash. In December 2001, 7.2 million
Class A limited partner units of ART Palm, L. P. were redeemed for $5.8 million,
including $2.5 million in cash. ARI gave a note payable for the remaining $3.3
million. The note bears interest at 10.00% per annum, with a payment of $1.9
million plus accrued but unpaid interest due in June 2002, and the remaining
principal and accrued but unpaid interest due at maturity in December 2002. At
December 31, 2001, no Series C Preferred Stock was outstanding.

TCI is a 63.7% limited partner and IOT is a 36.3% general partner in
the Tri-City Limited Partnership ("Tri-City") which owns the Chelsea Square
Shopping Center. In February 2000, the Chelsea Square Shopping Center was
financed in the amount of $2.1 million. Tri-City received net cash of $2.0
million after the payment of various closing costs. The mortgage bore interest
at a fixed rate of 10.24% per annum until February 2001, and a variable rate
thereafter, currently 10% per annum, requires monthly payments of principal and
interest of $20,601 and

matures in February 2005. TCI received a distribution of $1.3 million of the
net financing proceeds. IOT received a distribution of $739,000 of the net
financing proceeds.

In December 2001, TCI purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares
of National Melrose, Inc. ("NM"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ARL, a related
party, for $2.0 million cash. NM owns the 41,840 square foot Executive Court
Office Building in Memphis, Tennessee. ARL has guaranteed that the asset shall
produce at least a 12% return annually of the purchase price for a period of
three years from the purchase date. If the assets fail to produce the 12%
return, ARL shall pay TCI any shortfall. In addition, if the asset fails to
produce the 12% return for a calendar year, TCI may require ARL to repurchase
the shares of NM for the purchase price. Management has classified this related
party transaction as a note receivable from ARL. Accounting has also treated
this transaction as a financing.

In January 2002, TCI purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of
ART Two Hickory Corporation ("Two Hickory"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ARL, a
related party, for $4.4 million cash. Two Hickory owns the 96,217 square foot
Two Hickory Center Office Building in Farmers Branch, Texas. ARL has guaranteed
that the asset shall produce at least a 12% return annually of the purchase
price for a period of three years from the purchase date. If the assets fail to
produce the 12% return, ARL shall pay TCI any shortfall. In addition, if the
asset fails to produce the 12% return for a calendar year, TCI may require ARL
to repurchase the shares of Two Hickory for the purchase price. Management has
classified this related party transaction as a note receivable from ARL.
Accounting has also treated this transaction as a financing.

In January 2002, IOT purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of
Rosedale Corporation ("Rosedale"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ARL, a related
party, for $5.1 million cash. Rosedale owns the 83,331 square foot Rosedale
Towers Office Building in Roseville, Minnesota. ARL has guaranteed that the
asset shall produce at least a 12% return annually of the purchase price for a
period of three years from the purchase date. If the assets fail to produce the
12% return, ARL shall pay IOT any shortfall. In addition, if the asset fails to
produce the 12% return for a calendar year, IOT may require ARL to repurchased
the shares of Rosedale for the purchase price. Management has classified this
related party transaction as a note receivable from ARL. Accounting has also
treated this transaction as a financing.

At December 31, 2001, BCM owed TCI $11.3 million.

At December 31, 2001 ARL owed BCM $13.7 million.

The directors and officers of TCI also serve as directors and officers
of IOT. The directors owe fiduciary duties to IOT as well as to TCI under
applicable law. IOT has the same relationship with BCM as TCI. At December 31,
2001, TCI owned approximately 24% of the outstanding common shares of IOT. BCM
also serves as advisor to ARL. Messrs. Branigan, Corna, Endendyk, Kimbrough and
Starowicz serve as executive officers of ARL.

TCI established on April 13, 2000, the Director Stock Option Plan (the
"TCI Director Plan") which became effective upon subsequent approval of the
stockholders of TCI at an Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on October 10,
2000. Under the terms of the TCI Director

Plan, successive options covering 5,000 shares of TCI common stock each were
automatically granted to each director on the date of effectiveness of the TCI
Director Plan, and on each January 1 of each subsequent year in which the
individual served as a director of TCI. Pursuant to the TCI Director Plan, two
former directors of TCI, Edward G. Zampa and R. Douglas Leonhard, each held
options covering 5,000 shares at an exercise price of $8.975 per share, and an
additional 5,000 shares at an exercise price of $14.875 per share. On January
30, 2002, TCI entered into separate agreements with Messrs. Leonhard and Zampa
pursuant to which TCI repurchased all options held by each at a price based upon
a $16 per share sale price of common stock, less the aggregate amount of the
exercise price under each option. As a result of the Purchase Agreements, each
of Messrs. Leonhard and Zampa will receive an aggregate of $41,225 in
settlement, and the outstanding options previously held by each under the TCI
Director Plan have been cancelled.

Options covering an aggregate of 40,000 shares remain outstanding at
exercise prices ranging from $8.875 per share to $16.05 per share, by Ted
Stokely (15,000 shares), Martin L. White (15,000 shares) and the Estate of
Murray Shaw (10,000 shares).

INDEBTEDNESS OF MANAGEMENT

As of the record date, no director or executive officer of ARL, TCI or
IOT has any indebtedness to ARL, TCI or IOT.

Pursuant to the Option discussed above, Gotham agreed to a "standstill"
for a period of two years from the date of the Option and agreed not to purchase
directly or indirectly any security issued by ARL, TCI or IOT, provided,
however, the standstill was to terminate if the additional option fee was not

the shares of TCI common stock that was subject to the Option (a total of
1,858,900 shares) in favor of ARL to attend to the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of TCI on October 10, 2000, to represent, vote, execute consents
and otherwise act for Gotham only in approving the four proposals set forth in
TCI's Proxy Statement for such Annual Meeting dated December 11, 2000.

BCM has pledged 920,507 shares of TCI common stock to Sunset
Management, LLC pursuant to a loan agreement with such lender. BCM has also
pledged 36,689 shares of TCI common stock to Dynamic Finance Corporation as
collateral for a guaranty of indebtedness of an affiliate of BCM under a loan
agreement with such lender. The remaining 209,751 shares of TCI common stock
directly owned by BCM may be deemed to be "collateral" for borrowings pursuant
to margin or other account arrangements with bankers and brokerage firms
relating to accounts of BCM. Such arrangements are standard arrangements
involving margin securities of up to a specified percentage of the market value
of the shares and bear interest at varying rates and contain only standard
default and similar provisions, the operation of any of which should not give
any other person immediate voting power or investment power over such
securities. Such arrangements exist with the shares of TCI common stock and
other securities held in such accounts, and it is impracticable at any given
time to determine the amounts, if any, with respect to the shares of TCI common
stock and interest costs under such arrangements vary with applicable costs and
account balances.

EQK Holdings has pledged 2,601,798 shares of TCI common stock to Sunset
Management, LLC pursuant to a loan agreement with such lender. Holdings has also
pledged 843,111 shares of TCI common stock to Dynamic

102

Finance Corporation as collateral for indebtedness under a loan agreement with
such lender. EQK Holdings has also pledged 249,191 shares of TCI common stock to
Preferred Bank as collateral for a guaranty of indebtedness of ART under a loan
agreement with such lender. The remaining 300,000 shares of TCI common stock
owned directly by EQK Holdings may be deemed to be "collateral" for borrowings
pursuant to margin or other account arrangements with bankers and brokerage
firms relating to accounts of Holdings. Such arrangements are standard
arrangements involving margin securities of up to a specified percentage of
market value of the shares and bear interest at varying rates and contain only
standard default and similar provisions, the operation of any of which should
not give any other person immediate voting power or investment power over such
securities. Such arrangements exist with the shares of TCI common stock and
other securities held in such accounts, and it is impracticable at any given
time to determine the amounts, if any, with respect to the shares of TCI common
stock and interest costs under such arrangements may vary with applicable costs
and account balances.

EQK Holdings has pledged 250,000 shares of IOT common stock to Beal
Bank as additional collateral. An additional 153,400 shares of IOT common stock
owned by EQK Holdings and 106,802 shares of IOT common stock owned by BCM may be
deemed to be "collateral" for borrowings pursuant to margin or other account
arrangements with bankers and brokerage firms relating to accounts of EQK
Holdings and BCM, respectively. Such arrangements are standard arrangements
involving margin securities of up to a specified percentage of the market value
of the shares and bear interest at varying rates and contain only standard
default and similar provisions, the operation of any of which should not give
any person immediate voting power or investment power over such securities. Such
arrangements exist with the shares of IOT common stock and other securities held
in such accounts and it is impracticable at any time to determine the amounts,
if any, with respect to these shares of IOT common stock and interest costs
under such arrangements vary with applicable costs and account balances.

All 345,728 shares of IOT common stock owned by TCI are located at a
brokerage firm in a cash account (not margin account), and do not serve as
"collateral" for any borrowings pursuant to any margin account arrangement or
otherwise.

103

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the non-affiliated IOT and TCI stockholders will elect to
receive cash, rather than preferred stock, in exchange for their shares. As
reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, should all
such stockholders elect to receive cash, ARL does not currently have the
capability to effect the transaction due to insufficient proceeds. ARL is
currently exploring ways in which it can raise the necessary funds, including
but not limited to, selling selected properties and arranging for financing. ARL
does not currently have a commitment to sell any properties or to obtain any
financing. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that ARL will be able to
complete the proposed transactions with either IOT or TCI.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements
of ARL as of September 30, 2001 give effect to the payment of the maximum amount
of cash and the issuance of shares of ARL preferred stock only to the affiliates
in exchange for the TCI common stock and the IOT common stock as described in
this joint proxy statement and prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented
under three separate scenarios: (i) the acquisition by ARL of TCI and IOT; (ii)
the acquisition by ARL of TCI; and (iii) the acquisition by ARL of IOT. The
acquisitions of TCI and IOT are not dependent upon each other. Under each of the
scenarios, the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information is prepared
using the purchase method of accounting, with ARL treated as the acquirer and as
if the transactions had been completed as of January 1, 2000 for statement of
operations purposes and on September 30, 2001, for balance sheet purposes.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the aggregate purchase price
is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated
fair values.

The historical financial data for ARL, TCI and IOT for the year ended
December 31, 2000 has been derived from the audited financial statements and
notes included in each of those entity's annual reports on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2000 and unaudited quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

The pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes are based
upon available information and assumptions that management believes are
reasonable. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present
the pro forma information have been made. The unaudited pro forma consolidated
financial statements are provided for informational purposes only and do not
necessarily indicate the financial results that would have occurred had the
merger actually occurred on the dates specified, nor do they indicate ARL's
future results. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information
should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes of
ARL, TCI and IOT contained in their annual reports on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2000 and their quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001.

BUSINESS OF ARL

American Realty Investors, Inc. ("ARL"), a Nevada corporation, is the
successor through merger to American Realty Trust, Inc. ("ART"), a Georgia
corporation and NRLP, a Delaware partnership.

On November 3, 1999, ART and NRLP jointly announced the agreement of
their respective boards to combine, in a tax-free exchange, under a new company,
ARL. 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 a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ART as general partner of NRLP, ART began consolidation of NRLP's
accounts at that date and consolidation of its operations subsequent to that
date.

The merger transaction was closed on August 2, 2000. NRLP unitholders,
except for ART, received one share of ARL common stock for each unit of NRLP
held. ART stockholders received .91 shares of ARL common stock for each share of
ART common stock held. Each share of ART preferred stock was converted into one
share of preferred stock of ARL, having substantially the same rights as ART's
preferred stock. The ART shares of common stock ceased trading on the NYSE on
August 2, 2000. ARL common stock commenced trading on the NYSE on August 3,
2000. For financial reporting purposes, the merger is treated as the purchase of
NRLP by ART; accordingly, the historical information presented for ARL is that
of ART.

BUSINESS PLAN AND INVESTMENT POLICY

ARL'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 ARL is set forth in
"Properties of ARL" and in Schedules III and IV to the ARL Consolidated
Financial Statements.

ARL, 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 trademarks "Me-N-Ed's" and "Slices" in
California and Texas. The first Me-N-Ed's pizza parlor opened in 1962. At
September 30, 2001, there were 58 Me-N-Ed's pizza parlors in operation,
consisting of 47 owned and 11 franchised pizza parlors. Four of the owned pizza
parlors were in Texas and the remainder were in California.

ARL's businesses are not seasonal. With regard to real estate
investments, ARL is seeking both current income and capital appreciation. ARL's
plan of operation is to continue, to the extent its liquidity permits, to make
equity investments in income producing real estate such as hotels, apartments or
commercial properties or equity securities of real estate-related entities. ARL
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. ARL intends to seek selected dispositions of
certain of its assets, in particular, selected income producing properties in
stabilized markets and certain of its land holdings where the

135

prices obtainable for such assets justify their disposition. ARL 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. See
"Properties of ARL" and Schedules III and IV to the ARL Consolidated Financial
Statements.

ARL's board of directors has broad authority under ARL'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 ARL'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, ARL has also
invested in private and open market purchases of the equity securities of IOT
and TCI, both affiliates of ARL. See "Properties of ARL -- Investments in Real
Estate Companies and Real Estate Partnerships."

COMPETITION

REAL ESTATE. The real estate business is highly competitive and ARL
competes with numerous entities engaged in real estate activities (including
certain entities described in "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions of
ARL, TCI and IOT--Related Party Transactions"), some of which have greater
financial resources than ARL. 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 ARL's properties, in particular its
improved and unimproved land, are also competitive factors.

To the extent that ARL 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 ARL's properties are located, as well as aggressive buyers attempting to
dominate or penetrate a particular market.

136

As described above and in "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions of ARL, TCI and IOT--Related Party Transactions," the officers of
ARL also serve as officers of IOT and TCI, both of which are also advised by
BCM, and both of which have business objectives similar to ARL's. ARL's officers
and advisor owe fiduciary duties to both IOT and TCI as well as to ARL under
applicable law. In determining whether a particular investment opportunity will
be allocated to ARL, IOT or TCI, management and the advisor consider the
respective investment objectives of each and the appropriateness of a particular
investment in light of the existing real estate and mortgage notes receivable
portfolios of each. 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 "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions of ARL, TCI and IOT." ARL also competes with entities which are
affiliates of BCM having similar investment objectives in the 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 ARL 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.

ARL 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 the advisor. 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 ARL's real estate and
mortgage notes receivable portfolios. However, to the extent that property
sales, new property investments, in particular improved and unimproved land, or
mortgage lending are concentrated in any particular region the advantages of
geographic diversification are mitigated.

Virtually all of ARL's real estate, equity security holdings in IOT and
TCI 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 ARL's assets and require fixed payments regardless of
profitability. In the event of default, the lender may foreclose on the assets
securing such indebtedness, and ARL 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.

137

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. 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 September 30, 2001, PWSI owned and operated 47 and franchised 11
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 September 30, 2001, there were 54 pizza
parlors in California and four 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 geographically 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 added one new franchised store and no company-owned stores,
it sold one company-owned store and closed an additional three company-owned
stores. In 2001, PWSI added three new company-owned stores and sold two
company-owned stores to franchises. In 2002, PWSI plans to expand its franchised
stores to construct and open four new company-owned stores.

PROPERTIES OF ARL

ARL's principal offices are located at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite
300, Dallas, Texas 75234 and are in the opinion of management, suitable and
adequate for ARL's present operations.

Details of ARL's real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios
at December 31, 2000, are set forth in Schedules III and IV, respectively, to
the ARL Consolidated Financial Statements. The discussions set forth below under
the headings "Real Estate" and "Mortgage

138

Loans" provide certain summary information concerning ARL's real estate and
mortgage notes receivable portfolios.

At December 31, 2000, no single asset accounted for 10% or more of
total assets. At December 31, 2000, 83% of ARL's assets consisted of real
estate, 2% consisted of notes and interest receivable, 6% consisted of
investments in equity investees, including IOT and TCI, and 3% consisted of
pizza parlor equipment and related goodwill. The remaining 6% of ARL's assets
were cash, cash equivalents, marketable equity securities and other assets. The
percentage of assets invested in any one category is subject to change and no
assurance can be given that the composition of ARL's assets in the future will
approximate the percentages listed above.

ARL's real estate is geographically diverse. At December 31, 2000,
ARL'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. ARL 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.

REAL ESTATE

At December 31, 2000, 89% of ARL's assets were invested in real estate
and the equity securities of IOT and TCI. ARL invests in real estate located
throughout the continental United States, either on a leveraged or nonleveraged
basis.

ARL's real estate portfolio consists of properties held for investment,
investments in partnerships, properties held for sale and investments in equity
securities of IOT and TCI.

TYPES OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS. ARL'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 ARL 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 ARL has typically invested in developed real estate, it may
also invest in new construction or development either directly or in partnership
with non-affiliated parties or affiliates (subject to approval by the ARL board
of directors). To the extent that it invests in construction and development
projects, such as the Lake Shore Villas Apartments, ARL is subject to business
risks, such as cost overruns and construction delays, associated with such
higher risk projects. In 2000, ARL completed construction of Lake Shore Villas,
a 312 unit apartment in Harris County, Texas.

In the opinion of management, the properties owned by ARL are
adequately covered by insurance.

The following table sets forth the percentages, by property type and
geographic region, of owned real estate (excluding 59 parcels of improved and
unimproved land, a hotel in Sofia, Bulgaria and a single family residence,
described below) at December 31, 2000.

MORTGAGE LOANS

In addition to real estate, a portion of ARL's assets are invested in
mortgage notes receivable, secured by income-producing real estate, unimproved
land and partnership interests. ARL's management expects that the percentage of
ARL's assets invested in mortgage loans will continue to decline, as ARL will no
longer seek to fund or acquire new mortgage loans. However, ARL may, in selected
instances, originate mortgage loans or it may provide purchase money financing
in conjunction with a property sale. ARL's 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, ARL had previously 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 ARL's mortgage notes receivable.

TYPES OF PROPERTIES SUBJECT TO MORTGAGES. The types of properties
securing mortgage notes receivable at December 31, 2000, consisted of
apartments, an office building, unimproved land and partnership interests. The
type of properties subject to mortgages in which ARL invests may be altered
without a vote of stockholders.

As of December 31, 2000, the obligors on $11.2 million or 68% of the
mortgage notes receivable portfolio were affiliates of ARL. Also at that date,
$3.1 million or 19% 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, 2000), by geographic region,
of the commercial properties that serve as collateral for ARL's mortgage notes
receivable. Excluded are $10.2 million of mortgage notes secured by unimproved
land and other security. See Schedule IV to the ARL Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional details of ARL's mortgage notes receivable portfolio.

During 2000, $4.4 million in interest and $39.9 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 at
or 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 ARL'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 ARL'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 2000, as well as events that affected previously funded first mortgage loans
during 2000.

During 1998, a $942,000 loan was funded to Ellis Development Company,
Inc. The loan was secured by a 4.5 acre parcel of land in Abilene, Texas, bore
interest at 14.0% per annum and had an extended maturity date of August 2000.
All principal and interest were due at maturity. In March 2000, the loan was
collected in full, including accrued but unpaid interest.

In June and July 1998, a $4.2 million loan was funded to Cuchara
Partners, Ltd. and Ski Rio Partners, Ltd., affiliates of JNC Enterprises, Inc.
("JNC"). The loan was 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 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 bore interest at 16.0% per
annum and had an extended maturity date of March 2000. All principal and
interest were due at maturity. 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 and September 1999, paydowns totaling $2.6 million were
received. In April 2000, the remainder of the loan, with a then principal
balance of $1.6 million was collected in full, including accrued but unpaid
interest.

In June 1998, a $365,000 loan was funded 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. In
January 2000, the loan was collected in full, including accrued but unpaid
interest.

In July 2000, ARL sold a 749.1 acre tract of its Keller land parcel for
$10.0 million, receiving $8.7 million in cash and providing purchase money
financing of the remaining $1.3 million of the sales price. The loan bears
interest at 12.0% per annum. A payment of $500,000 principal and interest was
collected in September 2000 and all remaining principal and interest was due
July 31, 2001. The loan is secured by 100% of the shares of DM Development, Inc.
and an assignment of land sales proceeds. The loan had a principal balance of
$817,000 at December 31, 2000. In March 2001, $850,000 in principal and interest
was collected.

150

In August 2000, ARL sold a 20.5 acre tract of its Mason Goodrich land
parcel for $3.6 million, receiving $2.1 million in cash and providing purchase
money financing of the remaining $1.5 million of the sales price. The loan bore
interest at 13.5% per annum, and matured in December 2000. All principal and
interest were due at maturity. In February 2001, the loan was collected in full,
including accrued but unpaid interest.

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 a 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. ARL'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 wraparound mortgage loans
funded in 2000.

In June 2000, the 124,322 sq. ft. Marina Playa Office Building in Santa
Clara, California, was sold for $25.8 million, ARL received $7.0 million in cash
and provided financing of $18.8 million in the form of a wraparound mortgage
note. Subsequently, ARL sold the note receivable, net of the underlying debt,
for $6.2 million, retaining a $3.9 million participation. In August 2000, the
participation was collected in full, including accrued but unpaid interest.

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 2000, as well as events that affected previously funded junior mortgage loans
during 2000.

In August 1999, a $2.6 million loan was funded to JNC. The loan was
subsequently split into two pieces. The loans were 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 stockholders. The loans bore
interest at 16.0% per annum and matured in February 2000. All principal and
interest were due at maturity. In March and April 2000, the loans were collected
in full, including accrued but unpaid interest.

In October 1998, a $2.1 million loan was funded to Frisco Panther
Partners, Ltd., a JNC affiliate. The loan was 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 paydown of $820,000 was received
on this loan. The loan bore interest at 16.0% per annum and had an extended
maturity date of March 2000. All principal and interest were due at maturity. In
April 2000, the loan with a then principal balance of $663,000 was collected in
full, including accrued but unpaid interest.

In December 1998, $3.3 million of a $5.0 million loan commitment was
funded 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 was secured by a second lien on 1,791 acres of
land in Denton County, Texas and a second lien on 91

151

acres of land in Collin County, Texas. The loan bore interest at 16.0% per annum
and had an extended maturity date of March 2000. All principal and interest were
due at maturity. In April 2000, the loan was collected in full, including
accrued but unpaid interest.

OTHER. In September 1999, in conjunction with the sale of two
apartments in Austin, Texas, $2.1 million in purchase money financing was
provided, secured by limited partnership interests in two limited partnerships
owned by the buyer. The financing bore interest at 16.0% per annum, required
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 matured in August 2000. ARL had the option of obtaining the buyer's general
and limited partnership interests in the collateral partnerships in full
satisfaction of the financing. In March 2000, ARL agreed to forbear foreclosing
on the collateral securing the note and released one of the partnership
interests, in exchange for a payment of $250,000 and executed deeds of trusts on
certain properties owned by the buyer. In March 2000, the borrower made a $1.1
million payment, upon receipt of which ARL returned the deeds of trust. The
borrower executed a replacement promissory note for the remaining note balance
of $1.0 million, which is unsecured, non-interest bearing and matures in April
2003. In April 2000, ARL funded a $100,000 loan to the borrower. The loan is
secured by five second lien deeds of trust, is non-interest bearing and matured
in September 2001. Payment was not received at maturity, and ARL began accruing
default interest. In December 2001, the $100,000 was collected in full,
including accrued but unpaid interest.

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. 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. In February 2001, the loan amount was increased to $1.6
million and the maturity date was extended to June 2001. At January 2002,
extension terms were being negotiated.

During 1998 and 1999, $2.1 million of a $2.2 million loan commitment
was funded 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 a deed to the
property was accepted 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.

In August 1998, a $635,000 loan was funded to La Quinta Partners, LLC.
The loan was secured by interest bearing accounts prior to their being used as
escrow deposits toward the purchase of 956 acres of land in La Quinta,
California, and the personal guarantee of the manager of the borrower. The loan
had an extended maturity date of November 1999. All principal and interest were
due at maturity. In November and December 1998, $250,000 in principal paydowns
were received. In the second quarter of 1999, the loan was modified, increasing
the interest rate to 15.0% per annum and extending the maturity to November
1999. Accrued but unpaid interest was added to the principal balance, increasing
it by $42,000 to $402,000. In the fourth quarter of 1999, an additional $2,000
was funded increasing the loan balance to $404,000. In March 2000, $25,000 in
interest was collected and the loan's maturity

152

was extended to April 2000. The borrower did not repay the loan at maturity. In
March 2001, a settlement was reached, whereby ARL collected $410,000 in full
satisfaction of the note.

In 1997 and 1998, a $3.8 million loan was funded to Stratford & Graham
Developers, L.L.C. In 1999, an additional $305,000 was funded, increasing the
loan balance to $4.1 million. The loan was secured by 1,485 acres of unimproved
land in Riverside County, California, and matured in June 1999. The loan was not
paid at maturity. The deed to the collateral property was accepted 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.

RELATED PARTY. In February 1999, ARL funded a $5.0 million unsecured
line of credit to One Realco which owns approximately 14.7% of the outstanding
shares of ARL's Common Stock. All principal and interest are due at maturity in
February 2002, and the line of credit is guaranteed by BCM, ARL's advisor. In
March 2000, the line was modified and extended, increasing the loan commitment
to $11.0 million, and an additional $1.2 million was funded. In exchange for the
modification, the borrower paid all accrued interest and pledged collateral
consisting of a $10.0 million promissory note secured by the stock of World
Trade, which owns 80% of an entity which owns a hotel in Sofia, Bulgaria. In
July 2000, the line was again modified, increasing the loan commitment to $15.0
million. In September 2000, the line of credit with a then principal balance of
$14.6 million was paid in full, including accrued but unpaid interest.
Subsequently, ARL acquired 100% of the stock of World Trade for $18.0 million.
In March 2000, ARL funded $13.6 million on the unsecured line of credit to One
Realco. The line of credit bears interest at 12% per annum. All principal and
interest were due at maturity in February 2002. A two year extension of the
maturity date to February 2004 has been agreed upon and the line of credit is to
be secured by 600,000 shares of ARL common stock.

In 1998, ARL funded a loan commitment of $1.8 million to Warwick. 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
stockholder of the borrower. The loan bears interest at 14.0% per annum and had
an extended maturity date of December 2000. All principal and interest were due
at maturity. In December 1999, the borrower sold the collateral property and
$810,000 of the net proceeds were paid to ARL, of which $386,000 was applied to
interest and the remaining $424,000 was applied to principal, reducing the
principal balance to $1.7 million. Escrowed monies of $377,000 were to be
received in 2000. However, through December 2000, only $50,000 had been
received. The loan is currently unsecured. At January 2002, the loan and
$472,000 of accrued interest remained unpaid and settlement terms were being
negotiated. Richard D. Morgan, a Warwick stockholder, served as a director of
ARL until October 2001.

Beginning in 1997 through January 1999, ARL funded a $1.6 million loan
commitment to 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, 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. 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.

153

In the third quarter of 1999, an additional $213,000 was funded. The property
has had no cash flow, therefore, interest on the loan ceased being accrued in
the second quarter of 1999. In October 1999, a $724,000 paydown was received,
which was applied first to accrued interest due of $261,000 then to principal,
reducing the loan balance to $1.4 million. In June 2000, the note was further
modified, increasing the loan commitment to $1.5 million, extending the maturity
date to December 2000, and payments to net revenues of the shopping center. The
loan was not repaid at maturity. At January 2002, settlement terms were being
negotiated. Richard D. Morgan, a Bordeaux member, served as a director of ARL
until October 2001.

In April 1999, ARL 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
limited partner of Lordstown, L.P., and a profits interest in subsequent land
sales. The loan bears interest at 14.0% per annum and matured in March 2000. At
December 2001, the loan remained unpaid. At January 2002, settlement terms were
being negotiated. A corporation controlled by Richard D. Morgan, is the general
partner of Lordstown, L.P. Mr. Morgan served as a director of ARL until October
2001.

INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE COMPANIES AND REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIPS

REAL ESTATE ENTITIES. ARL's investment in real estate entities includes
the equity securities of two publicly traded real estate companies, IOT and TCI,
and interests in real estate joint venture partnerships. BCM, ARL's advisor,
also serves as advisor to IOT and TCI.

Since acquiring its initial investments in IOT and TCI in 1989, ARL has
made additional investments in the equity securities of both entities through
private and open market purchases. The cost with respect to shares of IOT and
TCI at December 31, 2000 totaled $23.3 million. The aggregate carrying value
(cost plus or minus equity in income or losses and less distributions received)
of the equity securities of IOT and TCI was $38.5 million at December 31, 2000
and the aggregate market value was $29.6 million. The aggregate investee book
value of IOT and TCI based upon the December 31, 2000 financial statements of
each entity was $60.4 million. See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions of ARL, TCI and IOT - Related Party Transactions."

The board of directors has authorized the expenditure of up to an
aggregate of $50.0 million to acquire, in open market purchases, shares of IOT
and TCI, excluding private purchase transactions which are separately
authorized. As of December 31, 2000, ARL had expended an aggregate of $8.6
million to acquire shares of IOT and TCI in open market purchases, in accordance
with these authorizations. ARL expects to make additional investments in the
equity securities of IOT and TCI to the extent its liquidity permits. On October
3, 2000, ARL and IOT entered into a stock option agreement which provided IOT
and ARL with an option to purchase

154

1,858,900 shares of TCI common stock from a third party. On October 19, 2000,
IOT assigned all of its rights to purchase such shares to ARL. ARL exercised the
option on April 5, 2001. The total cost to purchase the TCI shares was $30.7
million. In October 2000, ARL paid $5.6 million of the option price. In April
2001, the remainder of the option price was paid and ARL acquired the TCI
shares.

The equity securities of IOT and TCI were purchased for the purpose of
investment based principally on the opinion of management that the securities of
each were and are currently undervalued. The determination to purchase
additional equity securities of IOT 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 IOT and
TCI are pledged as collateral for borrowings.

Pertinent information regarding ARL's investment in the equity
securities of IOT and TCI at December 31, 2000, is summarized below (dollars in
thousands):

IOT 27.1% $ 8,052 $10,839 $ 3,510
TCI 24.7 30,473 49,538 26,078

IOT and TCI each own a considerable amount of real estate, much of
which they have 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. ARL's reported income or
loss attributable to these entities will differ materially from its cash flow
attributable to them.

ARL does not have a controlling equity interest in either of IOT or TCI
and therefore it cannot, acting by itself, determine either the individual
investments or the overall investment policies of either of them. However, due
to ARL's equity investments in, and the existence of common officers with, each
of IOT and TCI and that IOT and TCI have the same advisor as ARL, ARL may be
considered to have the ability to exercise significant influence over the
operating and investing policies of IOT and TCI. ARL accounts for its investment
in IOT and TCI using the equity method. Under the equity method, ARL recognizes
its proportionate share of the income or loss from the operations of IOT and TCI
currently, rather than when realized through dividends or on sale. The carrying
value of ARL's investment in IOT and TCI, as set forth in the table above, is
the original cost of investment in each adjusted for ARL's proportionate share
of IOT's and TCI's income or loss and distributions received.

The following summary description of IOT and TCI is based upon

equity investees of ARL. 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 IOT. 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, 2000, TCI owned 119 income producing properties located in 18 states. These

156

In 2000, ARL received a total of $1.6 million in dividends from TCI.

ELM FORK, L.P. In September 1997, a limited partnership, of which ARL
was 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.
ARL 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 mortgage bears
interest at 10% per annum, requires quarterly payments of interest only and
matures in September 2001. The net financing proceeds were distributed to the
partners, ARL receiving $2.9 million of its initial capital contribution. The
partnership agreement also provides that the limited partners receive a 12%
preferred cumulative return before any sharing of partnership profits occurs.
One Realco, one of the limited partners in the partnership owns approximately
12.8% of the outstanding shares of ARL's Common Stock. In June 2000, ARL sold
its partnership interests for $2.0 million in cash, retaining an option to
repurchase its interests for $2.0 million plus an amount equal to 20% times the
number of days from the date of the agreement to the exercise date. On January
9, 2001, ARL exercised its repurchase option. ARL recognized neither gain nor
loss on the sale and subsequent repurchase. At December 31, 2000, 267.8 acres
remained unsold.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF ARL

INTRODUCTION

ARL's predecessor was organized in 1961 to provide investors with a
professionally managed, diversified portfolio of equity real estate and mortgage
loan investments selected to provide opportunities for capital appreciation as
well as current income. In 2001, ARL's asset portfolio was expanded by the
purchase of leasehold interests in 37 oil and gas mineral development
properties. All of the oil and gas operations are in East Texas.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

GENERAL. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2001, totaled $5.0
million, compared with $4.2 million at December 31, 2000. Although ARL
anticipates that during the remainder of 2001 it will generate excess cash flow
from property operations, as discussed below, such excess cash is not sufficient
to discharge all of ARL's debt obligations as they mature. ARL will therefore
continue to rely on externally generated funds, including aggressive land sales,
selected sales of income producing properties, borrowings against its
investments in various real estate entities, refinancing of properties and, to
the extent necessary, borrowings to meet its debt service obligations, pay
taxes, interest and other non-property related expenses.

At December 31, 2000, notes payable totaling $193.4 million had either
scheduled maturities or required principal reduction payments during 2000.
During the first nine months of 2001, ARL either extended, refinanced, paid
down, paid off or received commitments from lenders to extend or refinance
$123.3 million of the debt scheduled to mature in 2001.

Net cash used in operating activities increased to a use of $39.2
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, from a use of $33.4 million
in the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Fluctuations in the components of
cash flow from operations are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Net cash from property operations (rents collected less payments for
property operations) decreased to $19.1 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, from $23.5 million in 2000. The decrease is primarily
attributable to the sale of nine apartments in 2000 and 13 apartments in 2001.
ARL expects a decrease in cash flow from property operations during the
remainder of 2001. Such decrease is expected to result from the continued
selective sale of income producing properties.

Net cash from pizza operations (sales less cost of sales) of $4.3
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, approximated the $4.4
million in 2000.

Net cash used in oil and gas operations (sales collected less payments
for lease operating expenses) was $175,000 in the nine months ended September
30, 2001. Operations began in June 2001.

159

Interest collected decreased to $397,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, from $4.6 million in 2000. The decrease was attributable to
the collection of $36.0 million of mortgage notes receivable in 2000 and $4.9
million in 2001.

Interest paid decreased to $45.7 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, from $55.9 million in 2000. The decrease was attributable to
the sale of all or portions of 24 land parcels and nine apartments in 2000, and
all or portions of 13 land parcels, one commercial property and 13 apartments in
2001, resulting in the payoff, paydown or assumption by the purchaser of
mortgage debt.

Advisory fees paid increased to $5.0 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, from the $4.1 million in 2000. The increase is attributable
to the inclusion of NRLP assets in the basis for the advisory fees, after August
2000.

Incentive fees paid were $1.6 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. The fees, earned in 2000, are 10% of the excess of net
capital gains over net capital losses realized from sales of assets.

General and administrative expenses paid decreased to $9.1 million in
the nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $11.7 million in 2000. The
decrease is primarily attributable to reduced consulting and partnership fees,
and reduced cost reimbursements paid to the advisor.

ARL's cash flow from its investments in IOT and TCI is dependent on the
ability of each of the entities to make distributions. In the fourth quarter of
2000, IOT and TCI suspended distributions. Accordingly, ARL received no current
distributions in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $1.9
million in the nine months of 2000. However, in May 2001, ARL received $53,000
in accumulated dividends on shares of CMET that should have been exchanged for
TCI common stock in 1999.

Other cash from operating activities was $1.2 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $10.1 million in 2000. The change
was primarily attributable to a greater decrease in property prepaids,
miscellaneous property receivables and property escrows in 2000 than in 2001.

In 2001, ARL sold the following properties:

ARL has margin arrangements with various financial institutions and
brokerage firms which provide for borrowing up to 50% of the market value of
ARL's marketable equity securities. The borrowings under such margin
arrangements are secured by equity securities of IOT and TCI and ARL's trading
portfolio and bear interest rates ranging from 6.0% to 24.0%. Margin borrowing
totaled $28.7 million at September 30, 2001.

ARL's management expects that it will be necessary for ARL to sell
$219.1 million, $51.7 million and $6.4 million of its land holdings during each
of the next three years to satisfy the debt on such land as it matures. If ARL
is unable to sell at least the minimum amount of land to satisfy the debt
obligations on such land as it matures, or, if it was not able to extend such
debt, ARL would either sell other assets to pay such debt or return the property
to the lender.

ARL's management reviews the carrying values of ARL's properties and
mortgage note receivables 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.
In those instances where impairment is found to exist, a provision for loss is
recorded by a charge against earnings. ARL's mortgage note receivable review
includes an evaluation of the collateral property securing such note. The
property review generally includes selective property inspections, a review of
the property's current rents compared to market rents, a review of the
property's expenses, a review of maintenance requirements, a review of the
property's cash flow, discussions with the manager of the property and a review
of properties in the surrounding area.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In March 1999, ARL reached an 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. Additionally, one million
units were purchased in January 2000 and two million units were purchased in May
2001. ARL has committed to purchase the remaining two million units in May 2002.

In April 2001, ARL reached an agreement with the Class A unitholders of
ART Palm, L.P., to acquire 7,236,250 of their Class A units in December 2001 for
$5.8 million. In December 2001, the units were acquired for $2.5 million in cash
and a note payable for the remaining $3.3 million. The note bears interest at
10.0% per annum, with a payment of $1.9 million plus accrued but unpaid interest
due in June 2002, and the remaining principal and accrued but unpaid interest
due at maturity in December 2002.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143
requires the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be
recognized in the period which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair
value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part
of the carrying amount of the long-lived assets. SFAS No. 143 is effective for
the fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2002. ARL's management believes the
adoption of this statement will have no material impact on the ARL financial
statements.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 requires that those
long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less
cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued
operations. Therefore discontinued operations will no longer be measured at net
realizable value or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet
occurred. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001 and, generally, is to be applied
prospectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER
30, 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, ARL reported net income
of $12.0 million, compared to net income of $1.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000. The primary factors contributing to ARL's net income
are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Rents decreased to $32.7 million and $98.7 million in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $34.7 million and $105.2 million in
2000. Rents from commercial properties increased to $25.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, from $23.8 million in 2000, rent from hotels
increased to $27.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, from
$25.5 million in 2000 and rent from apartments decreased to $44.8 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $53.0 million in 2000. The increase
in commercial property rents was primarily attributable to higher occupancy in
buildings completed in late 1999 and early 2000. The increase in hotel rent was
primarily due to the opening of Hotel Sofia in 2001. The decrease in apartment
rent was due to the sale of nine apartments in 2000 and 13 apartments in 2001.
Rental income is expected to decrease significantly in the remainder of 2001 as
a result of the income producing properties sold in 2001 and 2000.

Property operations expense decreased to $22.2 million in the three
months ended September 30, 2001, from $23.8 million in 2000, and increased to
$71.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $70.5 million in
2000. Property operations expense for commercial properties increased to $15.0
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $14.8 million in 2000.
For hotels, property operations expense increased to $21.6 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, from $17.8 million in 2000. For land, property
operations expense decreased to $6.8 million in the nine months ended September
30, 2001 from $7.1 million in 2000. For apartments, property operations expense
decreased to $27.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, from
$30.7 million in 2000. The increase in hotel property operations expense was
primarily due to the opening of Hotel Sofia in 2001. The

164

decrease in land operating expenses was primarily due to the 13 land parcels
sold in 2000. The decrease in property operations expense for apartments was due
to the sale of nine apartments in 2000 and 13 apartments in 2001. Property
operations expense is expected to decrease significantly in the remainder of
2001 as a result of the properties sold in 2000 and 2001.

Pizza parlor sales and cost of sales were $8.7 million and $7.2
million, respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 2001 and $25.3
million and $20.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared
to $8.1 million and $6.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and $24.4 million and $20.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. The increased sales were primarily attributable to the
effects of a more aggressive marketing and advertising strategy.

Interest income from notes receivable increased to $837,000 in the
three months ended September 30, 2001 from $283,000 in 2000, and decreased to
$2.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $3.3 million in
2000. The three month increase is due to new loans funded in 2001. The nine
month decrease is due to the collection of mortgage notes receivable and related
interest at maturity in 2000 and 2001.

Oil and gas sales were $97,000 in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001, representing start-up production from six wells. Oil and gas
operating expenses were $186,000 in the three and nine months ended September
30, 2001. Operating expenses include lifting costs and repairs and maintenance.

Other income decreased to a loss of $19,000 and income of $58,000 in
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $606,000 and $419,000
in 2000. ARL recognized an unrealized decrease in market value of its trading
portfolio securities of $43,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2001
compared to $267,000 in 2000. See Note 6. "Marketable Equity Securities -
Trading Portfolio."

Interest expense decreased to $19.1 million and $56.2 million in the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $19.6 million and $60.2
million in 2000. The decrease was attributable to the sale of 13 apartments, one
commercial property and 19 parcels of land in 2001 and nine apartments, four
commercial properties and 36 parcels of land in 2000. In the remainder of 2001,
interest expense is expected to continue to decrease due to the properties sold
in 2000 and 2001.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased to $4.5
million and $13.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001,
from the $4.0 million and $12.9 million in 2000. This increase was due to the
Hotel Sofia opening in 2001.

General and administrative expenses increased to $4.6 million and
decreased to $9.1 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001,
from $2.9 million and $11.7 million in 2000. The three month increase is
primarily due to increases in legal and audit fees while the nine month decrease
is primarily due to reduced consulting and partnership fees, and reduced cost
reimbursements paid to the advisor.

Advisory fees of $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30,
2001 approximated the $1.5 million for the same period in 2000 and increased to
$5.0 million for the

165

nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $4.1 million in 2000. The increase is
due to the addition of the NRLP assets to the advisory fees basis, after August
2000.

Net income fee to affiliate was <$1.1> million and $638,000 in the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001. The income fee payable to ARL's
advisor is 10% of the net income for the year, in excess of a 10% return on
stockholders' equity.

Incentive fee to affiliate was $1.6 million and $7.5 million in the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001. The incentive fee payable to
ARL's advisor is 10% of the excess of net capital gains over net capital losses
realized from sales of assets. Incentive fees are expected to increase as ARL
selectively sells properties.

Minority interest decreased to $1.0 million and $2.5 million in the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $5.0 million and $32.2
million in 2000. The decrease is attributable to the acquisition of NRLP by ARL
in August 2000.

Equity in income of investees increased to $3.5 million and $9.2
million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $2.6 million
and $2.9 million in 2000. The increase in equity income was attributable to the
loss associated with the sale of TCI and IOT stock in 2000 and gains from
property sales by TCI in 2001.

2000 COMPARED TO 1999. ARL reported net income of $2.7 million in 2000
compared to $10.3 million in 1999. ARL's net income in 2000 included gains on
the sale of real estate of $96.7 million compared to gains on the sale of real
estate of $129.3 million in 1999. The primary factors contributing to ARL's net
income are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Rents decreased to $138.2 million in 2000 from $157.6 million in 1999.
Rent from commercial properties increased to $31.5 million in 2000 from $30.2
million in 1999, rent from hotels increased to $33.1 million in 2000 from $31.6
million in 1999 and rent from apartments decreased to $69.8 million in 2000 from
$93.9 million in 1999. The increase in rent from commercial properties was
primarily attributable to completion of the Centura and Hickory Centre office
buildings in 2000. The increase in rent from hotels is attributable to increased
occupancy rates. Apartment rents decreased in 2000 as a result of 15 apartments
being sold in 1999 and nine apartments in 2000.

Property operations expense decreased to $94.1 million in 2000 from
$106.6 million in 1999. Property operations expense for commercial properties
increased to $19.8 million in 2000 from $16.5 million in 1999, for hotels such
expense of $24.1 million in 2000 approximated the $24.2 million expense in 1999,
for land the expense of $9.7 million in 2000 approximated the $9.0 million
expense in 1999 and apartments decreased to $40.4 million in 2000 from $56.4
million in 1999. The increase in commercial property operations expense was
primarily due to the completion of the Centura and Hickory Centre office
buildings in 2000. The decrease in apartment property operations expense was
primarily due to 15 apartments being sold in 1999 and nine apartment sales in
2000.

Pizza parlor sales and cost of sales were $32.6 million and $26.8
million in 2000 and $30.8 million and $26.3 million, in 1999. Pizza parlor
operations experienced higher profit

166

margins in 2000 due to lower pizza ingredient costs, (primarily cheese), a price
increase in October 2000, and the closing of underperforming locations.

Interest income decreased to $3.0 million in 2000 from $6.4 million in
1999. The decrease was attributable to the collection of $39.9 million in notes
in 2000, while originating and funding loans of $14.7 million.

Equity in income of investees decreased to $5.2 million in 2000 from
$11.8 million in 1999. The decrease in equity income was primarily due to
reduced ownership by ARL in TCI in 2000, due to sales of ARL-owned securities by
margin debt holders. Equity investees reported gains on the sale of real estate
in 2000 totaling $71.4 million of which ARL's equity share was $18.6 million.
These gains were offset by operating losses totaling $23.8 million, of which
ARL's equity share was $5.3 million. Also, sales of stock of equity investees by
margin debt holders of ARL resulted in losses of $7.9 million. See Note 6 to the
ARL Consolidated Financial Statements -- "Investments In Equity Investees."
Other income was a loss of $926,000 in 2000 approximating the loss of $846,000
in 1999. Interest expense decreased to $76.7 million in 2000 from $91.7 million
in 1999. This decrease is due to 36 land and nine apartment sales in 2000.
Interest expense is expected to decrease in 2001 due to land and apartment sales
in 2000 and anticipated property sales in 2001.

Advisory fees decreased to $5.0 million in 2000 from $5.5 million in
1999. The decrease was attributable to the decrease in ARL's gross assets, the
basis for such fee. Advisory fees are expected to decrease in 2001, as ARL's
gross asset base is expected to continue to decrease through property sales.

Incentive fees in 2000 were $1.6 million. This fee represents 10% of
the excess of net capital gains over net capital losses from sales of operating
properties. The amount of this fee, if any, in 2001 will be dependent on the
number of operating properties sold and net capital gains realized.
General and administrative expenses increased to $18.0 million in 2000
from $17.1 million in 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to an
increase of $900,000 in taxes. General and administrative expenses in 2001 are
expected to approximate 2000.

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $16.9 million in 2000 from
$17.4 million in 1999. The reduction is due to the sale of nine apartments in
2000. Depreciation and amortization expense should continue to decrease in 2001
as a result of continued property sales.

In the fourth quarter of 2000, a provision for loss of $2.2 million was
recognized. Such loss relates to the reduction of the carrying value of an 11.3
acre tract of land in Plano, Texas, sold in the first quarter of 2001, to its
net realizable value and a litigation reserve related to a breach of contract
dispute. In the third and fourth quarter of 1999, provisions for loss of $2.1
million and $1.0 million were recognized, respectively. Such loss relates to the
relinquishment by ARL of its general and Class B limited partner interests in a
controlled partnership that owned two apartments in Indianapolis, Indiana.

In December 1998, upon the election of NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of ARL, as general partner of NRLP, NMC assumed liability for certain legal
settlement payments. Such

167

obligation is included in litigation expense in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Operations. See Note 2 to the ARL Consolidated Financial Statements
-- "NRLP Management Corp."

Minority interest decreased to $30.7 million in 2000 from $56.7 million
in 1999. Minority interest is the earnings attributable to limited partners,
other than ARL, of certain controlled limited partnerships. Minority interest in
2000 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 2000, minority interest
includes, in addition to the preferred returns discussed above, $29.8 million of
earnings attributable to the limited partners in NRLP prior to the merger,
compared to $55.7 million in 1999. Minority interest in 2001 will decline due to
the 2000 merger of NRLP into ARL. See Note 2 to the ARL Consolidated Financial
Statements -- "Nrlp Management Corp."

Gains on sale of real estate decreased to $96.7 million in 2000 from
$129.3 million in 1999. In 2000, gains of $45.9 million were recognized on the
sale of nine apartments: Summerwind, Windtree, The Pines, Whispering Pines, Four
Seasons, Sherwood Glen, Fair Oaks, Hidden Valley and Candlelight Square; $21.9
million on the sale of commercial properties: Katella Plaza, Marina Playa,
Harbor Plaza and Preston Center; and $30.6 million on the sale of land: $16,000

Crossing land; $174,000 on the sale of 4.79 acres of Plano Parkway land;
$585,000 on the sale of 22.4 acres of Valley Ranch land; and $51,000 on the sale
of 36.43 acres of Vista Business Park land.

In 1999, gains of $100.3 million were recognized on the sale of 15
apartments: Olde Town, Sante Fe, Mesa Ridge, Horizon East, Lantern Ridge,
Barcelona, Country Place, Lake Nora, Fox Club, Oak Hollow, Windridge,
Tanglewood, Edgewater Garden, Bavarian Woods, and Manchester Commons, $9.2
million on the sale of the Continental Hotel and Casino; $5.0 million on the
sale of seven tracts totaling 46.9 acres of Plano Parkway land; $432,000 on the
sale of 9.9 acres of Mason/Goodrich land; $4.3 million on the sale of four
tracts totaling 302.4 acres of McKinney Corners II , McKinney Corners IV and

acres of Yorktown land. In 1999, losses of $545,000 were recognized, $505,000 on
the sale of Stone Meadows land and $40,000 on the sale of 6.2 acres of Plano
Parkway land.

1999 COMPARED TO 1998. ARL reported net income of $10.3 million in 1999
compared to a net loss of $22.8 million in 1998. ARL'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 ARL's net income are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Pizza parlor 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. Pizza parlor
operations experienced higher profit margins in 1999 due to lower pizza
ingredient costs, primarily cheese. Cheese prices 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 of $31.6 million in 1999 approximated the
$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 in
1998 and the consolidation of NRLP's operations subsequent to December 31, 1998.

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 it increased 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 and the
acquisition of the Encino Office Building in 1999. The increase in land expense
was primarily due to the acquisitions of 16 land parcels in 1998 and eight land
parcels in 1999. The increase in apartment property operations expense was
primarily due to the acquisition of 36 apartments in 1998 and the consolidation
of NRLP's operations subsequent to December 31, 1998.

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. Loans of $41.2 million in 1999 and $47.7
million in 1998 were originated and funded.

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.

169

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 ARL's equity share of such gains was $17.4
million. This decrease was offset by decreased operating losses totaling $7.7
million in IOT, of which ARL's equity share of equity investees' net operating
losses was $5.5 million. See Note 6 to the ARL Consolidated Financial Statements
-- "Investments In Equity Investees."

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.

Advisory fees increased to $5.5 million in 1999 from $3.8 million in
1998. The increase was attributable to the increase in ARL's gross assets, the
basis for such fee.

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.

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 the Encino
Office Building in 1999.

In the third and fourth quarter of 1999, provisions for loss of $2.1
million and $1.0 million, respectively, were recognized. Such losses relate to
the relinquishment by ARL 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,
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 to the ARL Consolidated
Financial Statements -- "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 ARL, of certain controlled limited partnerships. Minority interest in
1998 and 1999 was attributable, in part, to the preferred return 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., 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, the investment in NRLP was accounted for using the equity
method. See Note 2 to the ARL Consolidated Financial Statements -- "NRLP
Management Corp."

170

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

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, $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, ARL recognized gains of $663,000 on the sale of three tracts

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 ARL recognized a $179,000 previously deferred gain on a sale of its
Valley Ranch land in 1997.

TAX MATTERS

Financial statement income varies from taxable 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 payable and the difference in the allowance for estimated
losses. ARL had a loss for federal income tax purposes in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2001; therefore, it recorded no provision for income
taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, a provision for income
taxes in the amount of $1.7 million was recorded.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances
and regulations, ARL 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.

171

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

INFLATION

The effects of inflation on ARL's operations are not quantifiable.
Revenues from apartment operations 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 borrowings as well as
the cost of variable interest rate debt will be affected.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISKS OF ARL

At September 30, 2001, ARL's exposure to a change in interest rates on
its debt is as follows:

WEIGHTED AVERAGE EFFECT OF 1% INCREASE
BALANCE INTEREST RATE IN BASE RATES
-------- ---------------- ---------------------
(Amounts in thousands, except per share)

Notes payable:
Variable rate $135,845 12.00% $1,358
Total decrease in ARL's
annual net income $1,358
Per share $ .13

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OF ARL

ARL has no employees, payroll or benefit plans and pays no compensation
to its executive officers. The directors and executive officers of ARL 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 "The Advisor" for a more detailed discussion of
compensation payable to BCM by ARL.

The only direct remuneration paid by ARL is to those directors who are
not officers or employees of BCM or its affiliated companies. Until December 31,
2000, each independent director was compensated at the rate of $20,000 per year,
plus $300 per audit committee meeting attended and the chairman of the audit
committee receives an annual fee of $500. Effective January 1, 2001, the annual
fee was increased from $20,000 to $45,000. In addition, each independent
director receives an additional fee of $1,000 per day for any special services
rendered outside of their ordinary duties as director, plus reimbursement of
expenses. During 2001, $302,318 was paid to independent directors in total
directors' fees for all services including the annual fee for service during the
period January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001, and 2001 special service fees
as follows: Roy E. Bode*, $59,873; Earl D. Cecil, $7,003; Collene C. Currie,
$79,743; Cliff Harris*, $70,333; Joseph Mizrachi, $50,716; and Richard D.
Morgan*, $34,650.

In January 1998, stockholders approved the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the
"ARL Option Plan") which provides for options to purchase up to 300,000 shares
of common stock. At December 31, 2001, there were 173,750 options outstanding
under the Option Plan. No options were granted under the ARL Option Plan in
2001.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CAPITAL STOCK OF ARL

The description of ARL's capital stock set forth below is only a
summary and is not intended to be complete. For a complete description of ARL's
capital stock, we urge you to read ARL's articles of incorporation and bylaws
and as appropriate the certificate of designation of the Series G or Series H
preferred stock, which are filed as an exhibit to the joint proxy statement and
prospectus of which this document forms a part.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

There are currently 11,375,127 shares of ARL common stock outstanding.
Assuming all non-affiliated stockholders of TCI and IOT affirmatively elect to
take shares of Series G or Series H preferred stock and assuming conversion of
all of the shares of Series G and Series H preferred stock issuable in
connection with the business combination, there will be 22,974,254 shares of ARL
common stock outstanding after the business combination.

VOTING RIGHTS. Holders of ARL common stock will be entitled to one vote
per share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including the election of
directors. The ARL charter does not provide for cumulative voting in the
election of directors of ARL.

DIVIDENDS. After giving effect to any preferential rights of any series
of preferred stock outstanding, including the ARL preferred stock to be issued
in the TCI merger, the holders of ARL common stock are entitled to participate
in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the ARL board of
directors and, upon liquidation, are entitled to receive a pro-rata share of all
the assets of ARL that are available for distribution to these holders. All of
the ARL common stock will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable. Holders
of ARL common stock will have no preemptive rights with respect to future
issuances of ARL capital stock.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK

The board of directors is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares
of preferred stock from time to time, in one or more series, without stockholder
approval, and to fix the designation, preferences, conversion or other rights,
voting powers, restriction, limitations as to dividends, qualifications and
terms and conditions of redemption of any series that may be established by the
ARL board. As a result, without stockholder approval, the ARL board could
authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting, conversion and other
rights that could dilute the voting power and other rights of the holders of ARL
common stock. In addition, shares issued after the business combination may have
the effect, under some circumstances, alone or in combination with other
provisions of the ARL charter of rendering more difficult or discouraging an
acquisition of ARL considered undesirable by the ARL board of directors.

SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK. There are authorized a total of 15,000,000
shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible preferred stock with a par value of
$2.00 per share and an adjusted liquidation value of $10.00 per share plus
payment of accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series A preferred stock is
non-voting except:

(1) as provided by law,

178

(2) with respect to an amendment to ARL's articles of
incorporation or bylaws that would materially alter or change
the existing terms of the Series A preferred stock, and

(3) at any time or times for the election of two directors when
all or any portion of the dividends on the Series A preferred
stock for any six quarterly dividends, whether or not
consecutive, shall be in arrears and unpaid.

In the latter event, the number of directors constituting the board of
directors of ARL shall be increased by two and the holders of Series A preferred
stock, voting separately as a class, shall be entitled to elect two directors to
fill the newly created directorships with each holder being entitled to one vote
in the election for each share of Series A preferred stock held. ARL is not
obligated to maintain a sinking fund with respect to the Series A preferred
stock.

The Series A preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the
holder, into shares of ARL common stock at any time and from time to time, in
whole or in part, after the earliest to occur of

(1) August 15, 2003;

(2) the first business day, if any, occurring after a quarterly
dividend payment date, on which an amount equal to or in
excess of 5% of the $10.00 liquidation value (i.e., $.50 per
share of Series A preferred stock) is accrued and unpaid, or

(3) when ARL becomes obligated to mail a statement, signed by an
officer of ARL, to the holders of record of each of the shares
of Series A preferred stock because of a proposal by ARL at
any time before all of the shares of Series A preferred stock
have been redeemed by or converted into common stock, to merge
or consolidate with or into any other corporation (unless ARL
is the surviving entity and holders of common stock continue
to hold the shares of common stock without modification and
without receipt of any additional consideration), or to sell,
lease, or convey all or substantially all its property or
business, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up.

The Series A preferred stock is convertible into that number of shares
of ARL common stock obtained by multiplying the number of shares being converted
by $10.00, then adding all accrued and unpaid dividends, then dividing those
sums by the conversion price, which is 90% of the simple average of the trading
price of the common stock for 20 business days ending on the last calendar day
of the week preceding the conversion date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ARL,
at its option, may elect to redeem any shares of Series A preferred stock sought
to be so converted by paying the holder of the Series A preferred stock cash in
an amount equal to the conversion price for each share of Series A preferred
stock redeemed.

The Series A preferred stock bears a cumulative compounded dividend per
share equal to 10% per annum of the adjusted liquidation value, payable on each
quarterly dividend payment date. The dividend accrues from the date of issuance
to and including the date on which the redemption price of the shares is paid,
whether or not those dividends have been declared and whether or not there are
profits, surplus or other funds of ARL legally available for the payment

179

of those dividends. Dividends on the Series A preferred stock are in preference
to and with priority over dividends payable on the common stock. Except as
provided in the following sentence, the Series A preferred stock ranks on a
parity as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up with all
other preferred stock issued by ARL. ARL will not issue any shares of preferred
stock of any series which are superior to the Series A preferred stock as to
dividends or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of ARL as long
as any shares of Series A preferred stock are issued and outstanding, without
the prior written consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the shares of
the Series A preferred stock then outstanding voting separately as a class.

In addition to ARL's redemption rights described above upon a
conversion of Series A preferred stock, ARL may redeem any or all of the Series
A preferred stock at any time and from time to time, at its option, for cash
upon no less than 20 days nor more than 30 days prior notice thereof The
redemption price of the Series A preferred stock shall be an amount per share
equal to 103% of the adjusted liquidation value.

There were 2,724,901 shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding at
January 31, 2002. There are reserved 1,998,797 shares of Series A preferred
stock for issuance as future consideration in various business transactions of
ARL.

SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK. There are designated 80,000 shares of Series
B 10% Cumulative Convertible preferred stock with a par value of $2.00 per share
and a preference on liquidation of $100 per share plus payment of all accrued
and unpaid dividends. The Series B preferred stock is non-voting except as
required by law. ARL is not required to maintain a sinking fund for the stock.

Each share of Series B preferred stock is convertible into that number
of shares of ARL common stock obtained by multiplying the number of shares being
converted by $100, then adding all accrued and unpaid dividends on the shares,
then dividing the sum by (in most instances) 80% of the average trading price of
the ARL common stock for the 20 business days ending on the last business day of
the calendar week immediately preceding the date of conversion.

The Series B preferred stock bears a cumulative dividend per share
equal to $11.00 per annum ($2.75 per quarter). Dividends on the Series B
preferred stock are in preference to and with priority over dividends upon the
ARL common shares. The Series B preferred stock ranks on a parity as to
dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up with all other shares
of preferred stock.

ARL may redeem any or all of the shares of Series B preferred stock
from time to time upon payment of $100.00 per share plus all accrued and unpaid
dividends. There is no restriction on the repurchase or redemption of the Series
B preferred stock by ARL while there is any arrearage in payment of dividends
except that at the time of the repurchase or redemption ARL must pay all accrued
and unpaid dividends on the shares being redeemed.

There were no shares of Series B preferred stock outstanding at January
31, 2002.

180

SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK. There are designated 231,750 shares of Series
C Cumulative Convertible preferred stock with a par value of $2.00 per share and
a preference on liquidation of $100.00 per share plus all accrued and unpaid
dividends. The Series C preferred stock is non-voting except as required by the
law. ARL is not required to maintain a sinking fund for the stock.

Each share of Series C preferred stock is convertible at the option of
the holders thereof in the following amounts at any time on or after the
respective dates:

(1) 25,000 shares on or after December 31, 2000;

(2) 25,000 shares on or after September 30, 2002;

(3) 25,000 shares on or after September 30, 2003;

(4) 25,000 shares on or after December 31, 2005; and

(5) all remaining outstanding shares on or after December 31,
2006.

These shares are convertible into that number of shares of ARL common
stock obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Series C preferred stock
being converted by $100 and then dividing the sum by (in most instances) 90% of
the average of the daily closing price of the ARL common shares for the 20
trading days ending on the last trading day of the calendar week immediately
preceding the conversion on the market where the ARL common stock is then
regularly traded. The right of conversion terminates upon receipt of the notice
of redemption from ARL and on the earlier of (1) the commencement of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of ARL or (2) the adoption of any
resolution authorizing the commencement thereof. ARL may elect to redeem the
shares of Series C preferred stock sought to be converted instead of issuing
shares of ARL common stock.

The Series C preferred stock bears a cumulative quarterly dividend per
share in an amount equal to:

(1) 8% per annum during the period from July 1, 1999 to September
30, 2000;

(2) 9% per annum during the period from July 1, 2000 to September
30, 2001; and

(3) 10% per annum from July 1, 2001 and thereafter.

In each case, the dividend per share is calculated on the basis of the
adjusted liquidation value of the Series C preferred stock, payable in arrears
in cash on each quarterly dividend payment date. The dividend accrues from the
date of issuance to and including the date on which the redemption price of the
shares is paid. Dividends on the Series C preferred stock are in preference to
and with priority over dividends upon the ARL common shares. The Series C
preferred stock ranks on a parity as to dividends and upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up with all other shares of ARL preferred stock.

181

ARL may redeem all or a portion of the shares of the Series C preferred
stock issued and outstanding at any time and from time to time, at its option,
for cash upon no less than 20 days nor more than 30 days prior notice thereof.
The redemption price of the shares of the Series C preferred stock shall be an
amount per share equal to the sum of (1):

104% of liquidation value during the period from January 1,
2000 through December 31, 2000;

103% of liquidation value during the period from January 1,
2001 through December 31, 2001;

102% of liquidation value during the period from January 1,
2002 through December 31, 2002;

101% of liquidation value during the period from January 1,
2003 through December 31, 2003; and

100% of liquidation value from January 1, 2004 and thereafter,

and (2) all accrued and unpaid dividends on the shares through the redemption
date. The right of ARL to redeem shares of Series C preferred stock remains
effective notwithstanding prior receipt by ARL of notice by any holder of Series
C preferred stock of the holder's intent to convert shares of Series C preferred
stock into shares of ARL common stock. There were no shares of Series C
preferred stock issued or outstanding at January 31, 2002.

SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK. There are 91,000 shares of Series D 9.50%
Cumulative preferred stock designated with a par value of $2.00 per share and a
preference on liquidation of $20.00 per share plus payment of accrued and unpaid
dividends. The Series D preferred stock is non-voting except as required by law
and is not convertible. ARL is not required to maintain a sinking fund for the
stock.

Each share of Series D preferred stock has a cumulative dividend per
share of 9.50% per annum of the $20.00 liquidation preference, payable quarterly
in equal installments of $0.475. Dividends on the Series D preferred stock are
in preference to and with priority over dividends upon the shares of ARL common
stock. The Series D preferred stock ranks on a parity as to dividends and upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up with all other shares of ARL preferred
stock.

ARL may from time to time after June 1, 2001 redeem any or all of the
Series D preferred stock upon payment of the liquidation value of $20.00 per
share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. There is no restriction on the

per share plus payment of accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series E preferred
stock is non-voting except as required by law and is not convertible. ARL is not
required to maintain a sinking fund for the stock.

Each share of Series E preferred stock has a cumulative dividend per
share of 6.0% per annum of the $10.00 liquidation preference, payable quarterly.
Dividends on the Series E preferred stock are in preference to and with priority
over dividends upon the ARL common stock. The Series E preferred stock ranks on
a parity as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up with
all other shares of preferred stock.

ARL may at any time and from time to time redeem any or all of the
Series E preferred stock upon payment of the liquidation value of $10.00 per
share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. There is no restriction on the
repurchase or redemption of the Series E preferred stock by ARL while there is
any arrearage in payment of dividends except that at the time of the repurchase
or redemption ARL must pay all accrued and unpaid dividends on the shares being
redeemed. As of January 31, 2002, there were 50,000 shares of Series E preferred
stock issued and outstanding.

SERIES F PREFERRED STOCK. There are 4,961 shares of Series F redeemable
preferred stock (the "Series F preferred stock") designated with a par value of

Series F preferred stock is non-voting except as required by law. ARL is not
required to maintain a sinking fund for the stock.

The holders of Series F preferred stock are not entitled to receive any
dividends or distributions. The Series F preferred stock ranks on a parity upon
a liquidation, dissolution or winding up with all other shares of preferred
stock.

ARL may redeem at anytime, any or all of the Series F preferred stock
upon payment of the liquidation value of $1,000.00 per share by giving the
holder thereof not less than 20 days nor more than 30 days notice thereof prior
to the date on which ARL desires such shares redeemed. There is no restriction
on the repurchase or redemption of the Series F preferred stock by ARL while
there is any arrearage in payment of dividends, if any.

From and after January 1, 2002, within 10 calendar days of the filing
of ARL's report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, ARL shall call for redemption that
number of shares of the Series F preferred stock having an aggregate liquidation
value equal to 20% of the net cash flow generated by the assets acquired from
MJR Oil & Gas 2001, LLC during the preceding fiscal quarter after the payment of
any current payment due under the two promissory notes which ARL issued to MJR
Oil & Gas 2001, LLC in connection with the acquisition of such assets. Such
shares of Series F preferred stock shall be redeemed at the liquidation value of
$1,000.00 per share.

In the event that ARL engages in a transfer of more than 10% the assets
acquired from MJR Oil & Gas 2001, LLC, whether by sale, merger, consolidation or
other similar transaction, ARL shall prior to such transaction call for
redemption each outstanding shares of Series F preferred stock at a price per
share equal to the liquidation price of $1,000.00.

183

As of January 31, 2002 there were 3,968.75 shares of Series F preferred
stock issued and outstanding.

10% SERIES G CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK. There are

$2.00 per share and a preference on liquidation of $20.00 per share plus payment
of accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series G preferred stock is non-voting
except:

(1) as provided by law,

(2) with respect to an amendment to ARL's articles of
incorporation or bylaws that would materially alter or change
the existing terms of the Series G preferred stock, and

(3) at any time or times for the election of two directors when
all or any portion of the dividends on the Series G preferred
stock for any six quarterly dividends, whether or not
consecutive, shall be in arrears and unpaid.

In the latter event, the number of directors constituting the board of
directors of ARL shall be increased by two and the holders of Series G preferred
stock, voting separately as a class, shall be entitled to elect two directors to
fill the newly created directorships with each holder being entitled to one vote
in the election for each share of Series G preferred stock held. ARL is not
required to maintain a sinking fund for the stock.

Each share of Series G preferred stock has a cumulative dividend per

quarterly in equal installments of $0.5. Dividends on the Series G preferred
stock are in preference to and with priority over dividends upon the ARL common
stock. The Series G preferred stock ranks on a parity as to dividends and upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up with all other shares of preferred stock.

During a 75 day period commencing on the 15th day after ARL publicly
files its first Form 10-Q with the SEC following the consummation of the TCI
merger, the Series G preferred stock may be converted at the option of the
holder of Series G preferred stock into 2.5 shares of ARL common stock for each
share of Series G preferred stock.

the Series G preferred stock on the NYSE. ARL will also make an application
with the NYSE to list the shares of ARL common stock issuable upon conversion
of the Series G preferred stock.

(1) as provided by law,

(2) with respect to an amendment to ARL's articles of
incorporation or bylaws that would materially alter or change
the existing terms of the Series H preferred stock, and

stock are in preference to and with priority over dividends upon the ARL common
stock. The Series H preferred stock ranks on a parity as to dividends and upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up with all other shares of preferred stock.

ARL will make an application with the NYSE to list the Series H
preferred stock provided that there are an adequate number of Series H preferred
stock stockholders and shares of Series H preferred stock outstanding to list
the Series H preferred stock on the NYSE. ARL will also make an application with
the NYSE to list the shares of ARL common stock issuable upon conversion of the
Series H preferred stock.

The description of the foregoing provisions of each series of the
preferred stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified
in its entirety by reference to the provisions of ARL's articles of
incorporation relating to the series of preferred stock.

185

CHARTER AND BYLAWS OF ARL

The following is a summary of the terms of ARL's articles of
incorporation and bylaws. The summary contains all material terms, but does not
set forth all the provisions of the articles of incorporation or bylaws.

AUTHORIZED STOCK

ARL's charter authorizes it to issue 150,000,000 shares of capital
stock, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per
share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $2.00 per share.
Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time, in one or more
series, each having specific voting powers, designations, preferences and
restrictions as approved by the ARL board.

DIRECTORS

The bylaws provide that the number of directors serving on ARL's board
will be not less than three nor more than twelve. The exact number of directors
will be fixed by the board from time to time. The bylaws provide that, unless
otherwise provided by law or the charter, a quorum consists of a majority of the
entire board. The act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at
which there is a quorum shall be the act of the board. Cumulative voting is not
authorized in the election of directors to the board. Vacancies and any
newly-created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number
of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even
if less than a quorum.

STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS AND SPECIAL VOTING REQUIREMENTS

The annual meetings of stockholders are held on a date established by
the board. Special meetings of stockholders may be called by the chairman of the
board, by the president, by a resolution adopted by a majority of the board of
directors or by the holders of 25% or more of the ARL common stock. In general,
the presence of a majority of stockholders in person or by proxy voting
constitutes a quorum at any stockholders' meeting. Amendments to the charter or
the bylaws must be approved by stockholders holding a majority of the shares
outstanding and entitled to be cast thereon.

Directors may be removed with or without cause and by the affirmative
vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding stock of ARL
voting for the election of the director.

AMENDMENT OF THE CHARTER AND BYLAWS

The charter provides that approval of 51% of the stockholders voting is
required to amend the articles. A bylaw may be amended or repealed, or a new
bylaw adopted, by the affirmative vote of 51% of the stock voting or by a
majority of the board.

186

TRANSACTIONS WITH INTERESTED OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS

The charter provides that ARL shall not, directly or indirectly,
contract or engage in any transaction with any advisor of ARL, any director,
officer or employee of ARL or any advisor or any affiliate or associate of any
director, officer or employee of ARL or any advisor, unless:

o the material facts as to the relationship or interest are
disclosed or are known to the board and the board authorizes
the contract or transaction in good faith; the contract or
transaction is deemed fair by the board; and

o the board simultaneously authorizes or ratifies the
transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of
independent directors voting on the matter.

ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT OF AUTHORIZED BUT UNDESIGNATED PREFERRED STOCK

The board is authorized to provide for the issuance of shares of
preferred stock, in one or more series, and fix the terms and conditions of each
series. Management believes that the availability of preferred stock will
provide ARL with increased flexibility in structuring financings and
acquisitions and in meeting other corporate needs. Authorized but unissued
shares of preferred stock and common stock will be available for issuance
without further action by stockholders, unless required by applicable law or the
rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system.

Although the board has no present intention of doing so, it will be
able to issue a series of preferred stock that could either impede or facilitate
the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt. For
instance, these new shares might impede a business combination by including
class voting rights which would enable the holder to block the transaction. The
board will make any determination to issue these shares based on its judgment as
to the best interests of ARL and its stockholders. The board will be able to
issue preferred stock having terms which would discourage an acquisition attempt
or other transaction that a majority of the stockholders might believe to be in
their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their
stock.

LIABILITY FOR MONETARY DAMAGES

No director will be personally liable to ARL or its stockholders for
monetary damages arising out of a breach of fiduciary duty as a director. A
director's liability, however, is not limited (1) for acts or omissions which
involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (2) for
the payment of dividends in violation of Nevada law. If Nevada law is amended to
permit additional limitation or elimination of a director's personal liability,
the liability of a director will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the amended Nevada law. Any repeal or modification of the existing
Nevada law provisions will not increase the personal liability of any director
for any act or occurrence taking place prior to the repeal or modification, or
otherwise adversely affect any right or protection of a director existing at the
time of the repeal or modification.

187

INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

Present and former directors and officers of ARL and persons serving as
directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation or entity at the
request of ARL are indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.
The ARL charter and the bylaws specifically indemnify these persons for
expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them (1) in connection with a
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director or officer of ARL or is or was serving as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or entity at the request of ARL, or (2)
in connection with the defense or settlement of a threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of ARL, provided that the party is
adjudged to be liable to ARL. To be indemnified a person must have acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of ARL and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, must
have had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Indemnification is only available if the applicable standard of conduct
has been met by the indemnified party. Indemnification is mandatory where a
director or officer is successful in the defense of an action, suit or
proceeding or any claim or matter asserted against the person. A determination
of the availability of indemnification may be made by the majority vote of a
quorum of directors not a party to the suit, action or proceeding, by a written
opinion of independent legal counsel or by the stockholders.

In the event that a determination is made that a director or officer is
not entitled to indemnification, the director or officer may seek a judicial
determination of his right to indemnification. If successful, a director or
officer is entitled to indemnification for all expenses, including attorney's
fees, incurred in any proceeding seeking to collect an indemnity claim under the
indemnification provisions. Other than proceedings to enforce rights to
indemnification, ARL is not obligated to indemnify any person in connection with
a proceeding initiated by that person.

ARL will pay expenses incurred by a director or officer of ARL, or a
former director or officer, in advance of the final disposition of an action,
suit or proceeding, if he undertakes to repay amounts advanced in the event it
is ultimately determined that indemnification is not available.

The indemnification provisions and provisions for advancing expenses in
the ARL charter and bylaws are not exclusive of any other similar rights
pursuant to any agreement, vote of the stockholders or disinterested directors
or pursuant to judicial direction.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been
informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

188

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS OF THE
ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS OF ARL

The ARL articles of incorporation and bylaws contain a number of
provisions that may inhibit or impede the acquisition or attempted acquisition
of control of ARL by means of a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. These
provisions are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate
takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of ARL to
negotiate first with the ARL board. These provisions may increase the likelihood
that proposals initially will be on more attractive terms than would be the case
in their absence and increase the likelihood of negotiations. This might
outweigh the potential disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because,
among other things, negotiation of the proposals might result in an improvement
of their terms. The discussion below highlights some of these anti-takeover
provisions in the ARL charter documents. Because it is a summary, it may not
contain all of the information that might be important to you. We urge you to
read the ARL articles of incorporation and bylaws, as well as the Nevada General
Corporation Law for a complete description of these anti-takeover provisions.

NUMBER OF DIRECTORS; REMOVAL; FILLING VACANCIES

After giving preference to any rights of holders of preferred shares of
ARL to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the ARL
articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that the number of directors must
not be less than three nor more than 12. In addition, the ARL bylaws provide
that, after giving preference to rights of holders of preferred stock, any
vacancies will be filled by majority of the remaining directors, even though
less than a quorum, or by a sole director, and any vacancies created by an
increase in the total number of directors may be filled only by the ARL board.
Accordingly, the ARL board could temporarily prevent any stockholder from
enlarging the ARL board and then filling the new positions with the
stockholder's own nominees.

The ARL articles of incorporation and bylaws also provide that, after
giving preference to any rights of holders of preferred shares, directors may be
removed only for cause, and only upon the affirmative vote of holders of eighty
percent 80% of the then outstanding shares voting in the election of directors.

ADVANCE NOTICE PROVISIONS FOR DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS AND STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

The ARL bylaws provide for an advance notice procedure for stockholders
to make nominations of candidates for director or to bring other business before
the annual meeting of stockholders. According to this procedure (1) only persons
who are nominated by, or at the direction of, the ARL board, or by a stockholder
who has given timely written notice containing specified information to the
secretary of ARL prior to the meeting at which directors are to be elected, will
be eligible to nominate candidates for directors of ARL, and (2) at an annual
meeting, only that business may be conducted as has been brought before the
meeting by, or at the direction of, the ARL board or by a stockholder who has
given timely written notice to the secretary of ARL of his intention to bring
the business before the meeting. In general, for notice of stockholder
nominations or proposed business to be conducted at an annual meeting to be

189

timely, the notice must be received by ARL not less than 60 days nor more than
90 days prior to the scheduled date of the meeting.

The purpose of requiring stockholders to give advance notice of
nominations and other business is to afford the ARL board a meaningful
opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees or the
advisability of the other proposed business. To the extent necessary or
considered desirable by the ARL board, the advance notice provision will allow
the ARL board to inform stockholders and make recommendations about the nominees
or business, as well as to ensure an orderly procedure for conducting meetings
of stockholders. Although the ARL bylaws do not give the ARL board power to
block stockholder nominations for the election of directors or proposals for
action, the advance notice procedure may have the effect of discouraging a
stockholder from proposing nominees or business, precluding a contest for the
election of directors or the consideration of stockholder proposals if
procedural requirements are not met. This might also deter third parties from
soliciting proxies for a non-management proposal or slate of directors, without
regard to the merits of the proposal or slate.

Any action required or permitted to be taken by the ARL stockholders
must be taken at a properly called annual or special meeting of the ARL
stockholders and may not be taken by written consent. Special meetings of the
ARL stockholders may be called at any time, but only by the chairman of the
board, the president, or by a majority of the directors then in office.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS UNDER NEVADA LAW

ARL's articles expressly elect not to be governed by the Nevada
"Corporate Combinations Law" contained in Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive,
of the NRS and the Nevada "Control Shares Statute" contained in the NRS Sections
78.378 to 78.3792.

ARL POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES

The following is a discussion of the current policies of ARL with
respect to investments, financing, affiliate transactions and other activities.
These policies may be amended or waived from time to time at the discretion of
the ARL board without a vote of the ARL stockholders. No assurance can be given
that these investment objectives will be attained or that the value of ARL will
not decrease.

ARL intends to purchase or lease properties for long-term investment,
develop or redevelop its properties or sell these properties, in whole or in
part, when circumstances warrant. ARL may participate with other entities in
property ownership, through joint ventures or other types of co-ownership.
Equity investments may be subject to existing mortgage financing and other
indebtedness that have priority over ARL's equity interest.

ARL may repurchase or otherwise reacquire shares of ARL common stock,
or other ARL securities and may also invest in securities of other entities
including those engaged in real estate. ARL may invest in the securities of
other issuers in connection with acquisitions of indirect interests in real
estate, consisting generally of general or limited partnership interests in
special purpose partnerships owning one or more properties. ARL may acquire all
or substantially all of the securities or assets of real estate investment
trusts, management companies or similar entities where these investments would
be consistent with its investment

190

policies. ARL may also invest in securities of other issuers from time to time
for the purpose of exercising control. It is not intended that ARL's investments
in securities will require it to register as an "investment company" under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and it is intended that ARL would
divest securities before any registration would be required.

The ARL board may devote available assets to particular investments or
types of investments, without restriction. ARL's investment objectives and
policies may be changed at any time by the ARL board without the approval of
ARL's stockholders.

Additional capital may be raised through additional equity offerings,
debt financing or retention of cash flow, or a combination of these methods. If
the ARL board determines to raise additional equity capital, it may, without
stockholder approval, issue additional shares of common stock or preferred stock
up to the amount of its authorized capital in any mariner and on whatever terms
and for whatever consideration as it deems appropriate, including in exchange
for property. These securities may be senior to the outstanding ARL common stock
and may include additional series of preferred stock which may be convertible
into ARL common stock. Existing stockholders of ARL will have no preemptive
right to purchase ARL shares in any subsequent securities offering by ARL, and
any offering of this type could cause a dilution of a stockholder's investment
in ARL.

To the extent that the ARL board determines to obtain additional debt
financing, ARL intends to do so generally by mortgaging its existing properties.
These mortgages may be recourse, non-recourse or cross-collateralized. Although
ARL does not have a policy limiting the number or amount of mortgages that may
be placed on any particular property, mortgage financing instruments typically
limit additional indebtedness on these properties. ARL may also borrow funds
through bank borrowings, publicly and privately placed debt instruments or
purchase money obligations, any of which indebtedness may be secured by ARL's
assets or the assets of any entity in which ARL holds an interest.

ARL may seek to obtain unsecured or secured lines of credit or may
determine to issue debt securities, which may be convertible into common stock
or preferred stock or be accompanied by warrants to purchase stock, or to sell
or securitize its receivables. The proceeds from any borrowings may be used for
the following purposes:

o to finance acquisitions

o to develop or redevelop properties

o to refinance existing indebtedness for working capital or
capital improvements

o the payment of distributions

o to refinance existing indebtedness

ARL may make loans to joint ventures or other entities in which it
participates. ARL does not intend to engage in (1) trading, underwriting or
agency distribution or sale of securities of other issuers or (2) the active
trade of loans and investments.

191

The specific composition of ARL's real estate and mortgage notes
receivable portfolios following the merger will depend largely on the judgment
of ARL's management as to changing investment opportunities and the level of
risk associated with specific investments. ARL's management intends to maintain
real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios diversified by location and
type of property.

192

BUSINESS OF TCI

Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. ("TCI"), a Nevada corporation,
is the successor to a California business trust, which was organized on
September 6, 1983 and commenced operations on January 31, 1984. On November 30,
1999, TCI acquired all of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of CMET,
a real estate company, in a tax-free exchange of shares, issuing 1.181 shares of
its common stock for each outstanding CMET share.

Prior to January 1, 2000, TCI elected to be treated as a Real Estate
Investment Trust ("REIT") under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. During the
third quarter of 2000, due to a concentration of ownership TCI no longer met the
requirement for tax treatment as a REIT. Under the Code, TCI can not re-qualify
for REIT tax status for at least five years.

TCI's real estate at December 31, 2000, consisted of 140 properties
held for investment, three partnership properties and four properties held for
sale which were primarily obtained through foreclosure. In 2000, TCI purchased
18 properties held for investment. TCI's mortgage notes receivable portfolio at
December 31, 2000, consisted of six mortgage loans. In addition, TCI has an
interest in a partnership which holds a wraparound mortgage note receivable.
TCI's real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios are more fully
discussed in Item 2 in "Properties of TCI" below.

BUSINESS PLAN AND INVESTMENT POLICY OF TCI

TCI's business is investing in real estate through direct equity
ownership and partnerships and financing real estate and real estate related
activities through investments in mortgage loans, including first, wraparound
and junior mortgage loans. TCI's real estate is located throughout the
continental United States. Information regarding TCI's real estate and mortgage
notes receivable portfolios is set forth below and in the TCI Consolidated
Financial Statements.

TCI's business is not seasonal. TCI's management has determined to
continue to pursue a balanced investment policy, seeking both current income and
capital appreciation. With respect to new real estate investments, TCI's
management's plan of operation is to consider all types of real estate with an
emphasis on properties generating current cash flow. TCI's management expects to
invest in and improve these properties to maximize both their immediate and
long-term value. TCI's management will also consider the development of
apartment properties in selected markets primarily in Texas.

TCI's management also expects to consider property sales opportunities
for properties in stabilized real estate markets where TCI's properties have
reached their potential. TCI's management also expects to be an opportunistic
seller of properties in markets that have become overheated, i.e. an abundance
of buyers.

TCI's management's operating strategy with regard to TCI's properties
is to maximize each property's operating income by aggressive property
management through closely monitoring expenses while at the same time making
property renovations and/or improvements where appropriate. While such
expenditures increase the amount of revenue required to cover operating
expenses, TCI's management believes that such expenditures are necessary to
maintain or enhance the value of the properties.

193

TCI's management does not expect that TCI will seek to fund or acquire
new mortgage loans in 2002. However, TCI may originate mortgage loans in
conjunction with providing purchase money financing of a property sale. TCI's
management intends to service and hold for investment the mortgage notes in
TCI's portfolio. However, TCI may borrow against its mortgage notes, using the
proceeds from such borrowings for property acquisitions or for general working
capital needs. TCI's management also intends to pursue TCI's rights vigorously
with respect to mortgage notes that are in default. TCI's Articles of
Incorporation impose no limitations on its investment policy with respect to
mortgage loans and does not prohibit it from investing more than a specified
percentage of its assets in any one mortgage loan.

COMPETITION

The real estate business is highly competitive and TCI competes with
numerous entities engaged in real estate activities (including certain entities
described in "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions of ARL, TCI and IOT
- Related Party Transactions", some of which have greater financial resources
than those of TCI. TCI's 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 units and the ability to
provide a community atmosphere for the tenants. TCI's 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 TCI's properties also are competitive factors.

To the extent that TCI seeks to sell any of its properties, the sales
prices for such properties may be affected by competition from other real estate
entities and financial institutions also attempting to sell their properties
located in areas in which TCI's properties are located, as well as by aggressive
buyers attempting to penetrate or dominate a particular market.

As described above and in "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions of ARL, TCI and IOT - Related Party Transactions" the officers and
directors of TCI also serve as officers or directors of certain other entities,
also advised by BCM, and which have business objectives similar to those of TCI.
TCI's directors, officers and advisor owe fiduciary duties to such other
entities as well as to TCI under applicable law. In determining to which entity
a particular investment opportunity will be allocated, the officers, directors
and advisor consider the respective investment objectives of each such entity
and the appropriateness of a particular investment in light of each such
entity's existing real estate portfolio. To the extent that any particular
investment opportunity is appropriate to more than one of 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, as also described in Item 13 "Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions of ARL, TCI and IOT - Related Party Transactions" TCI also
competes with other entities which

194

are affiliates of BCM and which have investment objectives similar to TCI's and
that may compete with it in purchasing, selling, leasing and financing of real
estate and real estate related investments. In resolving any potential conflicts
of interest which may arise, BCM has informed TCI's management 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.

CERTAIN FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH REAL ESTATE AND RELATED INVESTMENTS

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

PROPERTIES OF TCI

TCI's principal offices are located at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite
300, Dallas, Texas 75234 and are, in the opinion of TCI's management, suitable
and adequate for TCI's present operations.

Details of TCI's real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios
at December 31, 2000, are set forth in Schedules III and IV, respectively, to
the TCI Consolidated Financial Statements included at "Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data". The discussions set forth below under the headings "Real
Estate" and "Mortgage Loans" provide certain summary information concerning
TCI's real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios.

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

At December 31, 2000, none of TCI's properties, mortgage notes
receivable or investment in partnerships exceeded 10% of total assets. At
December 31, 2000, 88% of TCI's assets consisted of properties held for
investment, less than 1% consisted of properties held for sale, 1% consisted of
mortgage notes and interest receivable and less than 1% consisted of investments
in partnerships. The remaining 10% of TCI's assets were invested in cash, cash

195

equivalents, marketable equity securities and other assets. The percentage of
TCI's assets invested in any one category is subject to change and no assurance
can be given that the composition of TCI's assets in the future will approximate
the percentages listed above.

TCI's real estate is geographically diverse. At December 31, 2000, TCI
held investments in apartments and commercial properties in each of the
geographic regions of the continental United States, although its apartments and
commercial properties were concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest regions,
as shown more specifically in the table under "Real Estate" below. At December
31, 2000, TCI held mortgage notes receivable secured by apartments and
commercial properties in the Southwest and Midwest regions of the continental
United States, as shown more specifically in the table under "Mortgage Loans"
below.

GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS

TCI has divided the continental United States into the following
geographic regions:

o 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. TCI owns a commercial property in this
region.

o Southeast region comprised of the states of Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee and Virginia. TCI owns 7 apartments and 20
commercial properties in this region.

o Southwest region comprised of the states of Arizona, Arkansas,
Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. TCI owns 45
apartments and 22 commercial properties in this region.

o 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. TCI owns 4 apartments, 4 commercial properties and
3 hotels in this region.

o Mountain region comprised of the states of Colorado, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. TCI owns an apartment and 3
commercial properties in this region.

o Pacific region comprised of the states of California, Oregon
and Washington. TCI owns 4 apartments, a hotel and 6
commercial properties in this region.

Excluded from the above are 23 parcels of unimproved land, as described
below.

REAL ESTATE

At December 31, 2000, approximately 90% of TCI's assets were invested
in real estate. TCI invests in real estate located throughout the continental
United States, either on a leveraged or nonleveraged basis. TCI's real estate
portfolio consists of properties held for investment,

196

investments in partnerships and properties held for sale (which were primarily
obtained through foreclosure of the collateral securing mortgage notes
receivable).

TYPES OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS. TCI's real estate consists of
commercial properties (office buildings, industrial warehouses and shopping
centers), hotels and apartments having established income-producing
capabilities. 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. TCI may acquire properties subject to or
assume existing debt and may mortgage, pledge or otherwise obtain financing for
its properties. 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.

TCI typically invests in developed real estate. However, TCI has
recently invested in apartment development and construction. To the extent that
TCI continues to invest in development and construction projects, it will be
subject to business risks, such as cost overruns and construction delays,
associated with such higher risk projects. At December 31, 2000, TCI had under
construction a 29,000 sq. ft. aircraft hanger in Addison, Texas.

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

The following table sets forth the percentages, by property type and
geographic region, of TCI's real estate (other than four hotels in the Pacific
and Midwest regions and 23 parcels of unimproved land, as described below) at
December 31, 2000.

The foregoing table is based solely on the number of apartment units
and amount of commercial square footage and does not reflect the value of TCI's
investment in each region. TCI owns 23 parcels of unimproved land, 2 parcels of
4.79 acres and 4.66 acres in the Southeast region and 21 parcels of .67 acres,
..68 acres, 14.39 acres, 2.89 acres, 2.14 acres, 4.7 acres, 6.8 acres, 22.99

MORTGAGE LOANS

In addition to investments in real estate, a portion of TCI's assets
are invested in mortgage notes receivable, principally secured by real estate.
TCI may originate mortgage loans in conjunction with providing purchase money
financing of property sales. TCI's management intends to service and hold for
investment the mortgage notes in TCI's portfolio. TCI's mortgage notes
receivable consist of first, wraparound and junior mortgage loans.

TYPES OF MORTGAGE ACTIVITY. TCI has originated its own mortgage loans,
as well as acquired existing mortgage notes either directly from builders,
developers or property owners, or through mortgage banking firms, commercial
banks or other qualified brokers. BCM, in its capacity as a mortgage servicer,
services TCI's mortgage notes. TCI's investment policy is described in "Business
of TCI - Business Plan and Investment Policy of TCI."

TYPES OF PROPERTIES SECURING MORTGAGE NOTES. The properties securing
TCI's mortgage notes receivable portfolio at December 31, 2000, consisted of an
apartment, six office buildings, a mobile home park and unimproved land. The
board of directors may alter the types of properties securing or collateralizing
mortgage loans in which TCI invests without a vote of stockholders. TCI's
Articles of Incorporation impose certain restrictions on transactions with
related parties.

At December 31, 2000, TCI's mortgage notes receivable portfolio
included five mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance of $6.2 million
secured by income-producing real estate located in the Midwest and Southwest
regions of the continental United States and one loan with a principal balance
of $2.5 million secured by unimproved land. At December 31, 2000, 1% of TCI's
assets were invested in notes and interest receivable.

The following table sets forth the percentages (based on the mortgage
note principal balance) by property type and geographic region, of the income
producing properties that serve as collateral for TCI's mortgage notes
receivable at December 31, 2000. See Schedule IV to the Consolidated Financial
Statements of TCI for further details of TCI's mortgage notes receivable
portfolio.

During 2000, $20.4 million was collected in full payment of five
mortgage notes and $132,000 in principal payments were received on other
mortgage notes. At December 31, 2000, less than 1% of TCI's assets were invested
in mortgage notes secured by non-income producing real estate, comprised of a
second lien mortgage note secured by unimproved land: 442 acres in Tarrant
County, Texas, 1,130 acres in Denton County, Texas, and 26 acres in Collin
County, Texas.

FIRST MORTGAGE LOANS. TCI invests in first mortgage notes, with short,
medium or long-term maturities. First mortgage loans generally provide for level
periodic payments of principal and interest sufficient to substantially repay
the loan prior to maturity, but may involve interest-only payments or moderate
amortization of principal and a "balloon" principal payment at maturity. With
respect to first mortgage loans, the borrower is required to provide a
mortgagee's title policy or an acceptable legal title opinion as to the validity
and the priority of the mortgage lien over all other obligations, except liens
arising from unpaid property taxes and other exceptions normally allowed by
first mortgage lenders in the relevant area. TCI may grant participating in
first mortgage loans that it originates to other lenders.

The following discussion briefly describes events that affected
previously funded first mortgage loans during 2000.

In February 2000, a mortgage loan acquired in the acquisition of CMET,
with a principal balance of $28,000 was paid off including accrued but unpaid
interest.

In December 1999, TCI provided $8.5 million of purchase money financing
in conjunction with the sale of 253 acres of unimproved land in McKinney and
Collin County, Texas. The note receivable bore interest at 8.5% per annum,
required a $1.0 million principal pay down in February 2000, required payment of
all accrued interest in June 2000 and required payment of all principal and
accrued interest at maturity in September 2000. The loan was repaid in
accordance with the terms. The sale had originally been recorded under the cost
recovery method. In conjunction with the loan payoff, TCI recognized a
previously deferred gain on the sale of $4.8 million.

JUNIOR MORTGAGE LOANS. TCI may invest in junior mortgage loans, which
are secured by mortgages that are subordinate to one or more prior liens either
on the fee or a leasehold interest in real estate. Recourse on such loans
ordinarily includes the real estate on which the loan is made, other collateral
and personal guarantees by the borrower. The board of directors restricts
investment in junior mortgage loans, excluding wraparound mortgage loans, to not
more than 10% of TCI's assets. At December 31, 2000, less than 1% of TCI's
assets were invested in junior and wraparound mortgage loans.

The following discussion briefly describes the junior mortgage loans
that TCI originated as well as events that affected previously funded junior
mortgage loans during 2000.

In August 1998, a mortgage note receivable with a principal balance of
$2.0 million and a carrying value of $207,000 and secured by a second lien on a
shut-down hotel in Lake Chateau, Louisiana became delinquent. To protect its
interest, TCI purchased the first lien for $149,000. Foreclosure proceedings
were commenced and title to the property was received in February 2000.

208

No loss was incurred on foreclosure, as the estimated fair market value of the
property, less estimated costs of sale, exceeded the carrying value of the
mortgage notes receivable. In June 2000, the property was sold for an amount in
excess of its carrying value.

In December 2000, TCI funded a $2.5 million mortgage loan secured by a
second lien on unimproved land: 442 acres in Tarrant County, Texas, 1,130 acres
in Denton County, Texas, and 26 acres in Collin County, Texas. The note
receivable bears interest at 18.0% per annum, requires monthly interest only
payments of $37,500 and matured in June 2001. In June 2001, the loan and all
accrued but unpaid interest was paid in full.

Also in December 2000, TCI funded a $3.0 million mortgage loan secured
by a second lien on four office buildings in San Antonio, Texas. The note
receivable bears interest at 16.0% per annum, requires monthly interest only
payments of $40,000 and matures in June 2001.

RELATED PARTY. In June 2000, a $3.0 million loan was funded to BCM,
TCI's advisor. The loan was secured by 108,802 shares of IOT common stock. IOT
is also advised by BCM. The loan bore interest at 15.0% per annum and matured in
October 2000. All principal and interest were due at maturity. The loan and all
accrued but unpaid interest was paid off in August 2000.

Also in June 2000, a $9.0 million loan was funded to ART, an affiliate
of BCM. The loan was secured by 409,934 shares of IOT common stock. The loan
bore interest at 15.0% per annum and matured in October 2000. All principal and
interest were due at maturity. The loan and all accrued but unpaid interest was
paid off in October 2000.

PARTNERSHIP MORTGAGE LOANS. TCI owns a 60% general partner interest and
IOT owns a 40% general partner interest in Nakash Income Associates ("NIA"),
which owns a wraparound mortgage note receivable secured by a building occupied
by a Wal-Mart in Maulden, Missouri. TCI received distributions of $69,000 from
NIA in 2000 and advanced $19,000 to the partnership.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF TCI

INTRODUCTION

TCI invests in real estate through acquisitions, leases and
partnerships and in mortgage loans on real estate, including first, wraparound
and junior mortgage loans. TCI is the successor to a California business trust
organized on September 6, 1983, which commenced operations on January 31, 1984.
On November 30, 1999, TCI acquired all of the outstanding shares of beneficial
interest of CMET, a real estate company, in a tax-free exchange of shares,
issuing 1.181 shares of its common stock for each outstanding CMET share. TCI
accounted for the merger as a purchase.

Prior to January 1, 2000, TCI elected to be treated as a REIT under
Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. During the third quarter of 2000, due to a
concentration of ownership TCI no longer met the requirement for tax treatment
as a REIT.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $35.3 million at September 30, 2001,
compared with $22.3 million at December 31, 2000. TCI's principal sources of
cash have been and will continue to be from property operations, proceeds from
property sales, the collection of mortgage notes receivable and borrowings.
TCI's management anticipates that TCI's cash on hand, as well as cash generated
from property operations, the sale of properties and the refinancing of certain
of TCI's mortgage debt will be sufficient to meet TCI's cash requirements,
including debt service obligations and expenditures for property maintenance and
improvements.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $1.1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000. The primary factors affecting TCI's cash from
operations are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Cash from property operations (rents collected less payments for
expenses applicable to rental income) of $44.4 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, approximated the $44.4 million in 2000.

Interest collected increased to $1.1 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, from $594,000 in 2000. The increase was primarily due to TCI
funding two loans in the fourth quarter of 2000 and three loans funded in 2001.

Interest paid decreased to $30.7 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, from $33.8 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2000. Of the decreases, $5.1 million was from the sale of 33 properties in 2001
and 2000 subject to debt, and $1.2 million was from loan payoffs and principal
paydowns in 2001 and 2000. These decreases were offset by increases of $3.2
million from the purchase of 20 properties in 2001 and 2000 subject to debt.

Advisory, incentive and net income fees paid increased to $7.8 million
in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $5.7 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2000.

211

The increase was primarily due to an increase in incentive fees of $1.6 million.
The incentive fee is equal to 10% of the amount by which the aggregate sales
consideration for all TCI's properties sold during the year exceeds the total
cost of the property plus a simple 8% annual return to TCI's net investment in
such property.

General and administrative expenses paid increased to $7.7 million in
the nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $6.5 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2000. This increase was mainly due to an increase in legal
fees and consulting fees.

In the first nine months of 2001, TCI sold 12 apartments, two
warehouses, three office buildings and four parcels of unimproved land for a
total of $136.7 million, receiving net cash of $43.8 million after the payoff of
existing debt and the payment of various closing costs. The purchasers assumed
$34.2 million in mortgage debt.

Also in the first nine months of 2001, TCI financed a parcel of
unimproved land for $4.5 million, receiving $4.3 million in cash after the
payment of various closing costs.

Further in the first nine months of 2001, TCI purchased five apartments
and four parcels of unimproved land for a total of $49.3 million, paying $7.1
million in cash, including various closing costs, and assumed existing mortgage
debt of $37.8 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2001, TCI purchased one parcel of unimproved
land for $1.2 million in cash. In September 2001, the board of directors
approved a private block purchase of 593,200 shares of common stock for a total
of $9.5 million.

TCI's management reviews the carrying values of TCI'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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 requires that those
long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less
cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued
operations. Therefore discontinued operations will no longer be measured at net
realizable value or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet
occurred. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001, and, generally, is to be applied
prospectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER
30, 2000. TCI had net income of $11.1 million and $25.7 million in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2001, including gains on sale of real estate
totaling $18.8 million and $47.5 million, compared to net income of $6.9 million
and $17.0 million in the corresponding periods in 2000, including gains on sale
of real estate totaling $11.8 million and $29.6 million. Fluctuations in this
and other components of revenues and expense between the 2001 and 2000 periods
are discussed below.

Rents in the three months ended September 30, 2001, decreased to $32.4
million compared to $35.2 million in 2000. Of this decrease, $6.1 million was
due to the sale of 26 apartments in 2001 and 2000 and $1.3 million was due to
the sale of six commercial properties in 2001 and 2000. These decreases were
offset by increases of $308,000 due to the purchase of 11 apartments in 2001 and
2000 and $2.5 million was due to the purchase of seven commercial properties in
2001 and 2000. Decreases in rents of $53,000 also was due to decreased parking
revenues for TCI's land properties. Rental rates and occupancies increased by
$63,000 for TCI's apartments and by $752,000 for TCI's commercial properties. In
2000, TCI leased its four hotels to Regis Hotel Corporation, an affiliate of
BCM, at an annual base rent totaling $503,477 per year plus 30% of the hotel's
gross revenues. Beginning January 1, 2001, TCI no longer leased the hotels and
recognized revenues based on the operations of the hotels. From this change,
rents increased at TCI's hotels by $1.1 million.

Rents in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, decreased to $103.5
million compared to $103.9 million in 2000. Of this decrease, $14.6 million was
due to the sale of 26 apartments in 2001 and 2000 and $1.8 million was due to
the sale of six commercial properties in 2001 and 2000. Decreases in rents of
$67,000 also were due to decreased parking revenues for TCI's land properties.
These decreases were offset by increases of $1.1 million due to the purchase of
11 apartments in 2001 and 2000 and $7.8 million was due to the purchase of seven
commercial properties in 2001 and 2000. Rental rates and occupancies increased
by $1.7 million for TCI's apartments, $2.2 million for TCI's commercial
properties and $3.4 million at TCI's hotels.

Property operations expense decreased in the three months ended
September 30, 2001, to $19.6 million from $19.9 million compared to the
corresponding period in 2000. Of this decrease, $3.3 million was due to the sale
of 26 apartments in 2001 and 2000 and $585,000 was due to the sale of six
commercial properties. These decreases were offset by increases of $255,000 due
to the purchase of 11 apartments in 2001 and 2000 and $1.3 million due to the
purchase of seven commercial properties in 2001 and 2000. Apartment operating
expenses increased by $131,000 due to increased leasing costs and utilities and
an increase of $645,000 was due to increased leasing, utility and maintenance
costs at TCI's commercial properties. Hotel operating expenses increased by $1.2
million and an increase of $161,000 was due to increases in maintenance and
taxes for TCI's land properties.

Property operations expenses increased in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, to $60.1 million from $56.7 million compared to the
corresponding period in 2000. Of this increase, $931,000 was due to the purchase
of 11 apartments in 2001 and 2000 and $3.8 million was due

213

to the purchase of seven commercial properties in 2001 and 2000. An increase of
$2.8 million was due to increased leasing, utility and maintenance costs at
TCI's commercial properties. Hotel operating expenses increased by $3.4 million
and increases of $452,000 were due to increases in maintenance and taxes for
TCI's land parcels. These increases were offset by decreases of $7.1 million due
to the sale of 26 apartments in 2001 and 2000 and $684,000 due to the sale of
six commercial properties in 2001 and 2000. Apartment operating expenses
decreased by $164,000 due to decreased maintenance and tax expenses.

Interest and other income increased to $1.0 million and $2.3 million in
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $936,000 and
$1.9 million in 2000. The increase was primarily due to TCI funding two loans in
the fourth quarter of 2000 and three loans in 2001.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, gains on sale of
real estate totaling $18.8 million and $47.5 million were recognized. The gains
included $1.6 million on the sale of the Heritage Apartments, $167,000 on the

was due to the sale of 26 apartments in 2001 and 2000, $592,000 was due to the
sale of six commercial properties in 2001 and 2000 and $60,000 was due to the
sale of two land parcels subject to debt in 2000. Decreases of $182,000 was due
to the refinancing of six commercial properties in 2000, $26,000 was due to the
refinancing of three apartments in 2000 and $409,000 was due to land loan
payoffs and principal

214

paydowns in 2001 and 2000. Of the remaining decreases, $255,000 was due to lower
variable interest rates at TCI's apartments, $600,000 was due to lower variable
interest rates at TCI's commercial properties, and $97,000 was due to lower
variable interest rates at TCI's hotels. The decrease was offset by increases of
$79,000 due to the purchase of 11 apartments in 2001 and 2000, $868,000 due to
the purchase of seven commercial properties in 2001 and 2000 and $148,000 due to
the financing of one land parcel in 2001.

Interest expense decreased to $31.4 million in the nine months ended

million was due to the sale of 26 apartments in 2001 and 2000, $591,000 was due
to the sale of six commercial properties in 2001 and 2000, and $283,000 was due
to the sale of two land parcels subject to debt in 2000. A decrease of $157,000
was due to the refinancing of six commercial properties in 2000, and an increase
of $136,000 was due to the refinancing of three apartment properties in 2000,
and decreases of $1.5 million were due to land loan payoffs and principal
paydowns in 2001 and 2000. Of the remaining decrease, $132,000 was due to lower
variable interest rates at TCI's apartments, $885,000 was due to lower variable
interest rates at TCI's commercial properties and $172,000 was due to lower
variable interest rates at TCI's hotels. These decreases were offset by
increases of $343,000 due to the purchase of 11 apartments in 2001 and 2000,
$3.1 million due to the purchase of seven commercial properties in 2001 and 2000
and $325,000 due to the refinancing of one land parcel in 2001.

Depreciation expense decreased to $4.7 million and $14.8 million in the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $5.4 million and $14.9
million in 2000. Of these decreases, $985,000 and $1.9 million were due to the
sale of 26 apartments in 2001 and 2000 and $243,000 and $285,000 were due to the
sale of six commercial properties, and decreases of $44,000 and $105,000 were
due to fully depreciated building and land improvements at TCI's apartments.
These decreases were offset by increases of $14,000 and $91,000 due to the
purchase of 10 apartments in 2001 and 2000 and $323,000 and $1.2 million due to
the purchase of seven commercial properties in 2001 and 2000. Increases of
$227,000 and $885,000 were due to building and tenant improvements at TCI's
commercial properties, and increases of $48,000 and $87,000 were due
improvements at TCI's hotels.

Advisory fee decreased to $1.3 million in the three months ended
September 30, 2001, from $1.4 million in 2000 and increased to $4.2 million in
the nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $3.9 million in 2000. The three
month decrease was due to a decrease in TCI's gross assets from 2000 and the
nine month increase was due to an increase in TCI's gross assets, the basis for
such fee.

Net income fee to affiliate was $946,000 and $2.1 million in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to $567,000 and $1.3
million in 2000. The net income fee is payable to TCI's advisor based on 7.5% of
TCI's net income.

Incentive fee to affiliate was $1.3 million and $2.9 million in the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001. The incentive fee is payable to
TCI's advisor based on 10% of aggregate sales consideration less TCI's cost of
all properties sold during the year. Incentive fees are expected to increase as
TCI selectively sells properties.

215

General and administrative expenses increased to $1.6 million and $7.5
million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $1.3 million
and $5.7 million in 2000. These increases were mainly due to an increase in
legal fees and other professional fees.

Prior to the first quarter of 2001, TCI accounted for its investment in
ARL, an affiliate, as an available for sale marketable security. In the first
quarter of 2001, TCI began accounting for its investment in ARL using the equity
method. Equity losses of investees increased to $2.2 million and $4.5 million in
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $185,000 and $477,000
in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. The losses from equity
investees are primarily attributed to increased operating losses for IOT and
TCI's accounting for its investment in ARL.

2000 COMPARED TO 1999. TCI had net income of $29.8 million in 2000, as
compared to $30.2 million in 1999. Net income for 2000 included gains on the
sale of real estate of $50.6 million. Net income for 1999 included gains on the
sale of real estate of $40.5 million. Fluctuations in the components of revenue
and expense between 2000 and 1999 are discussed below.

Rents increased to $139.4 million in 2000 from $82.0 million in 1999.
Of the increase, $2.5 million was due to the completion of the Limestone Canyon
Apartments in December 1999; $8.5 million was due to properties purchased or
obtained through foreclosure in 2000 and 1999; $57.4 million was due to the
properties obtained in the acquisition of CMET and the remaining $2.1 million
was primarily due to increased apartment and commercial property occupancy and
rental rates. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $10.6
million due to properties sold in 2000 and 1999, and a decrease of $2.5 million
from the four hotels.

Property operating expenses increased to $78.1 million in 2000 from
$44.5 million in 1999. Of the increase, $4.3 million was due to properties
purchased in 2000 and 1999 and $32.8 million was due to the properties obtained
in the acquisition of CMET. These increases were partially offset by a decrease
of $3.8 million due to properties sold in 2000 and 1999.

Interest and other income increased to $2.4 million in 2000 from
$453,000 in 1999. The increase in interest income was due to the funding of
notes receivable in 2000. See Note 4 to the TCI Consolidated Financial
Statements -- "Notes and Interest Receivable."

Interest expense increased to $48.0 million in 2000 from $27.7 million
in 1999. Of this increase, $4.5 million was due to properties purchased in 2000
and 1999, $17.5 million was due to the properties obtained in the acquisition of
CMET and $843,000 was due to property financings and refinancings during 2000
and 1999. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $3.3 million
due to properties sold and mortgages paid off in 2000 and 1999. Interest expense
is expected to remain constant or decrease in 2001 due to anticipated increases
from property refinancings being offset by reductions from property sales.

Depreciation expense increased to $19.7 million in 2000 from $11.7
million in 1999. Of the increase, $1.6 million was due to properties purchased
in 2000 and 1999, $7.4 million was due to properties obtained in the acquisition
of CMET and the remainder from property additions and tenant improvements. These
increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1.7 million due

216

to properties sold in 2000 and 1999. Depreciation expense is expected to remain
constant or decrease in 2001 due to reductions in depreciation from properties
sold, being offset by depreciation from properties acquired in 2001.

Advisory and net income fees increased to $7.7 million in 2000 from
$5.7 million in 1999. The increase was due to an increase in the advisory fee
from an increase in gross assets, the basis for the fee. The increase in gross
assets was due in part to the assets obtained in the acquisition of CMET. Net
income fees of $2.4 million in 2000 approximated $2.5 million in 1999. See Note
13 to the TCI Consolidated Financial Statements -- "Advisory Agreement."

General and administrative expenses increased to $8.5 million in 2000
from $3.3 million in 1999. The increase was primarily due to legal fees incurred
on litigation related matters, taxes and an increase in advisor cost
reimbursements.

Equity losses from investees were $556,000 in 2000 compared to income
of $102,000 in 1999. The decrease was primarily due to increased operating
expenses of IOT, an equity investee. See Note 7 to the TCI Financial Statements
-- "Investment in Equity Method Real Estate Entities."

In 2000, gains on sale of real estate totaling $50.6 million were
realized; $572,000 on the sale of Hunters Bend Apartments, a $4.8 million
previously deferred gain on the sale of McKinney land, TCI's share of gains
recognized by an equity affiliate of $4.6 million, $3.6 million on the sale of

3 to the TCI Consolidated Financial Statements -- "Real Estate" and Note 7 to
the TCI Consolidated Financial Statements -- "Investment in Equity Method Real
Estate Entities."

217

1999 COMPARED TO 1998. TCI had net income of $30.2 million in 1999, as
compared to $6.9 million in 1998. Net income for 1999 included gains on the sale
of real estate of $40.5 million. Net income for 1998 included gains on the sale
of real estate of $12.9 million. Fluctuations in the components of revenue and
expense between 1999 and 1998 are discussed below.

Rents increased to $82.0 million in 1999 from $69.8 million in 1998. An
increase of $8.2 million was due to properties purchased or obtained through
foreclosure in 1998 and 1999; $5.5 million was due to the properties obtained in
the acquisition of CMET and the remaining $3.8 million was due to increased
apartment and commercial property occupancy and rental rates. These increases
were partially offset by a decrease of $5.1 million due to properties sold in
1998 and 1999.

Property operating expenses increased to $44.5 million in 1999 from
$38.3 million in 1998. Of the increase, $5.1 million was due to properties
purchased in 1998 and 1999 and $4.1 million was due to the properties obtained
in the acquisition of CMET. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of
$2.8 million due to properties sold in 1998 and 1999.

Interest and other income decreased to $453,000 in 1999 from $807,000
in 1998. The decrease in interest income was due to eight mortgage notes
receivable being collected in 1998 and 1999 and the foreclosure of the
collateral property securing a note in 1998.

Interest expense increased to $27.7 million in 1999 from $22.8 million
in 1998. Of this increase, $3.9 million was due to properties purchased in 1999
and 1998, $2.1 million was due to the properties obtained in the acquisition of
CMET and $333,000 was due to property financings and refinancings during 1999
and 1998. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1.5 million
due to properties sold and mortgages paid off in 1999 and 1998.

Depreciation expense increased to $11.7 million in 1999 from $10.7
million in 1998. An increase of $1.8 million was attributable to property
purchases in 1999 and 1998, $634,000 was due to the completion of construction
of an apartment in 1999, and the remainder from property additions and tenant
improvements. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1.5
million due to properties sold in 1999 and 1998.

Advisory and net income fees increased to $5.7 million in 1999 from
$2.5 million in 1998. The increase was due to an increase in the net income fee
in 1999 due to an increase in net income and an increase in the advisory fee due
to an increase in gross assets, the basis for the fee. See Note 13 to the TCI
Consolidated Financial Statements -- "Advisory Agreement."

General and administrative expenses increased to $3.3 million in 1999
from $2.3 million in 1998. The increase was primarily due to legal fees incurred
on litigation related to damage to an office building prior to its sale and an
increase in advisory cost reimbursements. See Note 2 to the TCI Consolidated
Financial Statements -- "Acquisition of Continental Mortgage and Equity Trust."

Equity in income of investees increased to $102,000 in 1999 from a loss
of $68,000 in 1998. The increase was primarily due to increased operating
expenses of IOT, an equity investee.

218

Estate Entities."

In 1998, gains on sale of real estate totaling $12.9 million were
realized, a $2.1 million previously deferred gain upon collection of a mortgage
note receivable related to a prior property sale that had been recorded under
the cost recovery method, $671,000 from the collection of a mortgage note
receivable that had been written off in a prior year, $5.9 million on the sale
of Chesapeake Ridge Office Building, $3.4 million on the sale of Northtown Mall,
$219,000 on the sale of Denton Drive Industrial Warehouse, $350,000 on the sale
of a portion of the Moss Creek land, and $356,000, TCI's share of the gain
realized by an equity investee on the sale of its two apartments.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances
and regulations, TCI 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.

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

INFLATION

The effects of inflation on TCI'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 sales values of properties and the ultimate gain to be
realized from property sales. To the extent that inflation affects interest
rates, TCI's earnings from short-term investments, the cost of new financings as
well as the cost of variable interest rate debt will be affected.

219

TAX MATTERS

For the years 1999 and 1998, TCI elected and in the opinion of TCI's
management, qualified to be taxed as a REIT as defined under Sections 856
through 860 of the Code. During the third quarter of 2000, due to a
concentration in ownership, TCI no longer met the requirements for tax treatment
as a REIT under the Code. Under the Code, TCI is prohibited from re-qualifying
for REIT tax status for at least five years.

Financial statement income varies from taxable 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 payable and the difference in the allowance for estimated
losses. TCI had a loss for federal income tax purposes (after utilization of
operating loss carryforwards) in the three and nine months ended September 30,
2001 and 2000; therefore, it recorded no provision for income taxes.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES REGARDING
MARKET RISK OF TCI

TCI'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 effect of the changes on future operations. Market risk is
managed by matching a property's anticipated net operating income to an
appropriate financing.

The following table contains only those exposures that existed at
December 31, 2000. Anticipation of exposures or risk on positions that could
possibly arise was not considered. TCI'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.

Although the TCI board of directors is directly responsible for
managing the affairs of TCI and for setting the policies which guide it, its
day-to-day operations are performed by BCM, a contractual advisor under the
supervision of the board. The duties of BCM include, among other things,
locating, investigating, evaluating and recommending real estate and mortgage
note

business experience information.

222

investment and sales opportunities, as well as financing and refinancing
sources. BCM also serves as a consultant in connection with TCI's business plan
and investment decisions made by the TCI board.

BCM has been providing advisory services to TCI since March 28, 1989.
Renewal of BCM's advisory agreement was approved by the board of directors on
August 18, 2000. BCM also serves as advisor to IOT and ARL. The directors of TCI
are also directors of IOT. The officers of TCI also serve as officers of ARL,
IOT, and BCM. As of February 11, 2002, TCI owned approximately 24% of IOT's
outstanding shares of common stock and ARL indirectly owned approximately 49.7%
and BCM directly and indirectly owned approximately 14.8% of the outstanding
shares of TCI's common stock.

Since February 1, 1990, affiliates of BCM have provided property
management services to TCI. Currently, Triad provides such property management
services. Triad subcontracts with other entities for the provision of
property-level management services to TCI. The general partner of Triad is BCM.
The limited partners of Triad are Mr. Phillips and GS Realty, which is a company
not affiliated with Mr. Phillips or BCM. Triad subcontracts the property-level
management and leasing of 52 of TCI's commercial properties and the two
commercial properties owned by real estate partnerships in which TCI and IOT are
partners to Regis, a related party, which is a company owned by GS Realty. 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. Regis also is entitled to receive real estate brokerage
commissions in accordance with the terms of a non-exclusive brokerage agreement.
Regis Hotel Corporation, a related party, manages TCI's four hotels.

TCI has no employees. Employees of BCM render services to TCI.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OF TCI

TCI has no employees, payroll or benefit plans and pays no compensation
to its executive officers. The executive officers of TCI, who are also officers
or employees of BCM, TCI's advisor, are compensated by BCM. Such 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 "Directors, Executive Officers and Advisor of ARL" for a more
detailed discussion of the compensation payable to BCM.

The only remuneration paid by TCI is to the directors who are not
officers or directors of BCM or its affiliated companies. The independent
directors (1) review the business plan of TCI to determine that it is in the
best interest of stockholders, (2) review the advisory contract, (3) supervise
the performance of the advisor and review the reasonableness of the compensation
paid to the advisor in terms of the nature and quality of services performed,
(4) review the reasonableness of the total fees and expenses of TCI and (5)
select, when necessary, a qualified independent real estate appraiser to
appraise properties acquired.

Each independent director receives compensation in the amount of
$30,000 per year, plus reimbursement for expenses. The chairman of the board
receives an additional fee of $3,000 per

223

year. In addition, each independent director receives an additional fee of
$1,000 per day for any special services rendered by him to TCI outside of his
ordinary duties as director, plus reimbursement of expenses.

During 2000, $199,000 was paid to the independent directors in total
directors' fees for all services, including the annual fee for service during
the period January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2000, and 2000 special service
fees as follows: Richard W. Douglas, (a director until June 2000) $15,000; Larry
E. Harley, (a director until June 2000) $15,000; R. Douglas Leonhard, (a
director until December 2001) $34,000; Murray Shaw, (a director until March
2001) $34,000; Ted P. Stokely, $36,000; Martin L. White, $34,000; and Edward G.
Zampa, (a director until December 2001) $33,000.

DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN

TCI has established the TCI Director Plan for the purpose of attracting
and retaining directors who are not officers or employees of TCI or BCM. The TCI
Director Plan provides for the grant of options that are exercisable at fair
market value of TCI's common stock on the date of grant. The TCI Director Plan
was approved by stockholders at their annual meeting on October 10, 2000,
following which each then-serving independent director was granted options to
purchase 5,000 shares of TCI common stock. On January 1 of each year, each
independent director will receive options to purchase 5,000 shares of common
stock. The options 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 10
years from the date of grant.

As of February 14, 2002, TCI had 140,000 shares of common stock
reserved for issuance under the TCI Director Plan of which options for 40,000
shares were outstanding.

BUSINESS OF IOT

Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IOT"), a Nevada
corporation, is the successor to a California business trust organized on
December 14, 1984, which commenced operations on April 15, 1985. IOT has elected
to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. IOT has, in
the opinion of IOT's management, qualified for federal taxation as a REIT for
all periods since May 1, 1985.

At December 31, 2000, IOT's real estate consisted of 16 properties held
for investment. In addition, IOT owns interests in two partnerships, each of
which owns a property and a third partnership which holds a wraparound mortgage
note receivable. In 2000, IOT purchased nine properties as well as sold seven
properties. One $1.5 million mortgage loan was funded during 2000. IOT's real
estate portfolio is more fully discussed below.
See "Properties of IOT."

BUSINESS PLAN

IOT's business is investing in equity interests in real estate through
direct equity investments and partnerships, and financing real estate and real
estate related activities through investments in mortgage loans. IOT's real
estate is located in the Pacific, Southeast and Southwest regions of the
continental United States. Information regarding IOT's real estate portfolio is
set forth below, and in the IOT Consolidated Financial Statements.

IOT's business is not seasonal. IOT's management has determined to
continue to pursue a balanced investment strategy, seeking both current income
and capital appreciation. With respect to new investments, IOT's management's
plan of operation is to acquire higher class apartment and commercial properties
in keeping with the current class of properties in IOT's real estate portfolio.
In 2000, IOT began making higher risk, higher reward investments in unimproved
land. In 2001, IOT's management intends to focus on income producing property
acquisitions to maintain a balance between income producing and non-income
producing properties. IOT's management does not expect that IOT will seek to
fund or acquire additional mortgage loans. IOT may, however, originate mortgage
loans in conjunction with providing purchase money financing of a property sale.
IOT's management also intends to continue its strategy of maximizing each
property's operating income by aggressive property management through closely
monitoring expenses while at the same time making property renovations and/or
improvements where appropriate. While renovation and/or improvement expenditures
increase the amount of revenue required to cover operating expenses, IOT's
management believes that such expenditures are necessary to maintain or enhance
the value of IOT's properties.

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

COMPETITION

The real estate business is highly competitive and IOT competes with
numerous entities engaged in real estate activities (including certain entities
described in "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions of BCM, ARL, TCI
and IOT - Related Party Transactions") some of which

228

have greater financial resources than those of IOT. IOT's management believes
that success against such competition is dependent upon the geographic location
of the property, the performance of the property-level managers in areas such as
marketing, collection 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
units and IOT's ability to provide a community atmosphere for the tenants. IOT's
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 IOT's properties also are competitive factors.

To the extent that IOT seeks to sell any of its properties, the sales
prices for such properties may be affected by competition from other real estate
entities and financial institutions also attempting to sell their properties
located in the same areas as well as aggressive buyers attempting to penetrate
or dominate a particular market.

As described above and in "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions of BCM, ARL, TCI and IOT - Related Party Transactions", the
officers and directors of IOT also serve as officers or directors of certain
other entities, also advised by BCM, and which have business objectives similar
to those of IOT. IOT's directors, officers and advisor owe fiduciary duties to
such other entities as well as to IOT under applicable law. In determining to
which entity a particular investment opportunity will be allocated, the
officers, directors 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 funds available for investment for the longest period of time, or, if
appropriate, the investment may be shared among all or some of such entities.

In addition, as described in "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions of BCM, ARL, TCI and IOT - Related Party Transactions", IOT also
competes with other entities which are affiliates of BCM, which may have
investment objectives similar to IOT's and that may compete with it in the
acquisition, sale, leasing and financing of real estate. In resolving any
potential conflicts of interest which may arise, BCM has informed IOT's
management 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.

CERTAIN FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH REAL ESTATE AND RELATED INVESTMENTS

IOT is subject to all the risks incident to ownership and financing of
real estate and interests therein, many of which relate to the general
illiquidity of real estate investments. These risks include, but are not limited
to, changes in general or local economic conditions, changes in interest rates
and the availability of permanent mortgage financing which may render the
acquisition, sale or refinancing of a property difficult or unattractive and
which may make debt service burdensome, changes in real estate and zoning laws,
increases in real estate taxes, federal or local economic or rent controls,
floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and other acts of God and

229

other factors beyond the control of IOT's management or BCM. The illiquidity of
real estate investments also may impair the ability of IOT's management to
respond promptly to changing circumstances. IOT's management believes that such
risks are partially mitigated by the diversification by geographic region and
property type of IOT's real estate portfolio. However, to the extent property
acquisitions are concentrated in any particular geographic region or property
type, the advantages of diversification may be mitigated.

PROPERTIES OF IOT

IOT's principal offices are located at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite
300, Dallas, Texas 75234 and are, in the opinion of IOT's management, suitable
and adequate for IOT's present operations.

IOT's real estate portfolio at December 31, 2000, is set forth in
Schedule III to the Consolidated Financial Statements of IOT. The discussions
set forth below under the headings "Real Estate" provide certain summary
information concerning IOT's real estate portfolio.

IOT's real estate portfolio consists of 16 owned properties and an
investment in two partnerships each of which owns a commercial property. IOT
holds a fee simple title to the owned properties. IOT holds one mortgage note
receivable, and a partnership in which it is a 40% general partner holds a
wraparound mortgage note. The discussion set forth below under the heading "Real
Estate" provides certain summary information concerning IOT's real estate and
further summary information with respect to its owned properties and its
partnership investments.

IOT's real estate is geographically diverse. At December 31, 2000, IOT
held equity investments in apartments and office buildings in the Pacific,
Southwest and Southeast regions of the continental United States, as shown more
specifically in the table under "Real Estate" below. The majority of IOT's
properties are, however, located in California and Texas. At December 31, 2000,
IOT held a mortgage note secured by a second lien on 165 acres of unimproved
land in The Colony, Texas, as described more specifically under "Mortgage Loans"
below.

At December 31, 2000, one of IOT's properties, the Travelers land
parcel, exceeded 10% of IOT's total assets. At December 31, 2000, 92% of IOT's
assets consisted of owned properties and less than 1% consisted of investments
in partnerships. The remaining 8% of IOT's assets were cash, cash equivalents
and other assets. The percentage of IOT's assets invested in any one category is
subject to change and no assurance can be given that the composition of IOT's
assets in the future will approximate the percentages listed above. See
"Business of IOT--Business Plan."

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

GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS

IOT has divided the continental United States into the following
geographic regions:

230

o Southeast region comprised of the states of Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee and Virginia. IOT has 1 commercial property in this
region.

o Southwest region comprised of the states of Arizona, Arkansas,
Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. IOT has 7
apartments and 2 commercial properties in this region.

o Mountain region comprised of the states of Colorado, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. IOT has no properties in
this region.

o Pacific region comprised of the states of California, Oregon
and Washington. IOT has 4 commercial properties in this
region.

Excluded from above are two parcels of unimproved land in the Southwest
Region, as described below.

REAL ESTATE

At December 31, 2000, 92% of IOT's assets were invested in real estate,
on a leveraged basis, in the Pacific, Southeast and Southwest regions of the
continental United States. IOT's real estate portfolio consists of 16 owned
properties and an investment in two partnerships, each of which owns a
commercial property.

TYPES OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS. IOT's real estate consists of
apartments and commercial properties (office buildings) having established
income-producing capabilities. 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 considered. IOT may acquire properties subject to, or
assume, existing debt and may mortgage, pledge or otherwise obtain financing for
its properties. The IOT board may alter the types of and criteria for selecting
new real estate investments and for obtaining financing without a vote of
stockholders.

IOT has typically invested in developed real estate, although it also
may invest in new construction or development either directly or in partnership
with non-affiliated parties or affiliates (subject to approval by the board). To
the extent that IOT invests in construction and development projects, it will be
subject to business risks, such as cost overruns and construction delays,
associated with such higher risk projects.

231

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

The following table sets forth the percentages, by property type and
geographic region, (other than two parcels of unimproved land, as described
below) of IOT's owned real estate at December 31, 2000.

and 241 acres, both in the Southwest region. See Schedule III to the IOT
Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of IOT's real
estate.

* Partnership interest was purchased in 1999.

IOT owns a 36.3% general partner interest and TCI owns a 63.7% limited
partner interest in Tri-City which in turn owns Chelsea Square Shopping Center.
In February 2000, Tri-City obtained mortgage financing of $2.1 million secured
by the previously unencumbered shopping center. Tri-City received net cash of
$2.0 million after the funding of required escrows and the payment of various
closing costs. The mortgage bore interest at a fixed rate of 10.24% per annum
until February 2001 and a variable rate thereafter, currently, 10.0% per annum,
requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $20,601 and matures in
February 2005. IOT received a distribution of $739,000 of the net financing
proceeds.

IOT owns a 10% limited partner interest and TCI owns a 90% general
partner interest in TCI Eton Square, L.P., which owns the Eton Square Building
in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

MORTGAGE LOANS

Prior to 1991, a substantial portion of IOT's assets had been invested
in mortgage notes secured by income-producing real estate. IOT's mortgage notes
had included first, wraparound and junior mortgage loans. Prior to the third
quarter of 2000, IOT's management had not been seeking to fund or acquire new
mortgage loans, other than those which may have originated in conjunction with
IOT's providing purchase money financing of a property sale. See "Business of
IOT." BCM, in its capacity as a mortgage servicer, services the mortgage notes.

234

The following discussion briefly describes the junior mortgage loan
funded in 2000.

In September 2000, IOT funded a $1.5 million loan, secured by a second
lien on 165 acres of unimproved land in The Colony, Texas. The loan bears
interest at 18.0% per annum, requires monthly payments of interest only and
matured in January 2002. In May 2001, IOT received a $1,000,000 paydown on the
loan.

PARTNERSHIP MORTGAGE LOANS. IOT owns a 40% general partner interest and
TCI owns a 60% general partner interest in NIA, which holds a wraparound
mortgage note receivable secured by a building occupied by a Wal-Mart in
Maulden, Missouri. IOT received distributions of $25,000 from NIA in 2000, and
advanced the partnership $13,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF IOT

INTRODUCTION

IOT invests in equity interests in real estate through acquisitions,
leases, partnerships and in mortgage loans. IOT is the successor to a California
business trust organized on December 14, 1984, which commenced operations on
April 10, 1985.

LIABILITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2001, were $3.9 million,
compared with $2.1 million at December 31, 2000. IOT's principal sources of cash
have been, and will continue to be, from property operations, proceeds from
property sales, financings and refinancings and partnership distributions.
Although IOT's management anticipates that IOT will generate excess cash from
operations in 2001 due to increased rental rates and occupancy at its
properties, such excess, however, will not be sufficient to discharge all of
IOT's debt obligations as they mature. IOT's management intends to selectively
sell income producing real estate, refinance real estate and incur additional
borrowings against real estate to meet its cash requirements.

IOT's cash flow from property operations (rents collected less payments
for expenses applicable to rental income) decreased to $4.6 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, from $5.3 million in 2000. Of this decrease,
$1.0 million was due to the sale of three apartments and $1.0 million was due to
the sale of two commercial properties in 2000. The decrease also was due to an
increase in property expenses of $438,000 at IOT's commercial properties. This
decrease was offset by an increase of $682,000 due to the purchase of five
apartments in 2000 and increased rents collected of $140,000 for IOT's
apartments and $875,000 for IOT's commercial properties.

Interest paid increased to $4.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, from $3.7 million paid in 2000. Of this increase, $420,000
was due to the purchase of five apartments in 2000 and $1.2 million was due to
the purchase of one parcel of unimproved land in 2000. The increase also was due
to a $124,000 increase from a loan refinancing for a commercial property in
2001. This increase was offset by a decrease of $755,000 from the sale of three
apartments in 2000, $442,000 from the sale of two commercial properties in 2000,
and $180,000 from the sale of two unimproved land parcels in 2000.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, IOT paid $520,000 to
its advisor compared to $1.5 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2000. Fees paid to the advisor are based on gross assets and 7.5% of net income.
The decrease in advisory and net income fees was due to IOT's net loss during
2001.

General and administrative expenses paid increased to $1.5 million in
the nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $697,000 paid in 2000. The
increase was due to increases in professional fees, taxes, and cost
reimbursements to the advisor.

In the fourth quarter of 2000, IOT discontinued the payment of
quarterly dividends. In the nine months ended September 30, 2000, IOT paid
dividends of $.45 per share or a total of

237

$685,000, and it sold 4,112 shares of common stock through the dividend
reinvestment program for a total of $24,000.

In December 1989, the board of directors approved a share repurchase
program, authorizing the repurchase of a total of 200,000 shares of IOT's common
stock. In June 2000, the board increased this authorization to 300,000 shares.
In 2000, 19,500 shares of common stock were repurchased for a total of $134,000.
Through September 30, 2001, a total of 218,804 shares had been repurchased at a
cost of $1.9 million. In September 2001, the board approved separately a private
block purchase of 75,100 shares of IOT common stock for a total of $1.3 million.

IOT's management reviews the carrying values of IOT's properties 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. If impairment is
found to exist, a provision for loss is recorded by a charge against earnings.
The property review generally includes selective property inspections,
discussions with the manager of the property, visits to selected properties in
the area and a review of the following: (1) the property's current rents
compared to market rents, (2) the property's expenses, (3) the property's
maintenance requirements, and (4) the property's cash flows.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER
30, 2000. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, IOT had a net
loss of $1.7 million and $3.2 million, as compared to net income of $2.9 million
and $17.9 million for the corresponding periods in 2000, which included gains on
real estate totaling $3.9 million and $20.9 million. Fluctuations in components
of revenue and expense between the 2000 and 2001 periods are discussed below.

Rents for the three months ended September 30, 2001, increased to $3.2
million, as compared to $3.0 million in the corresponding period in 2000. Of
this increase, $410,000 and $42,000 was due to increased rental rates and
occupancies at IOT's commercial properties and apartments, respectively. These
increases were offset by a decrease of $210,000 due to the sale of one apartment
in the third quarter of 2000. Rents for the nine months ended September 30,
2001, decreased to $9.8 million, as compared to $10.7 million in the
corresponding period in 2000. Of this decrease, $1.6 million was due to the sale
of two commercial properties and

238

$2.0 million was due to the sale of three apartments in 2000. This decrease was
offset by increases of $1.4 million due to the purchase of five apartment
properties in 2000 and $1.1 million and $150,000 was due to increased rental
rates and occupancies at IOT's commercial and apartment properties,
respectively.

Property operations expense increased in the three months ended
September 30, 2001, to $2.3 million, as compared to $1.7 million in the
corresponding period in 2000. Of this increase, $27,000 was due to increases in
utility expenses at IOT's apartments, $152,000 was due to increases in leasing,
administrative, and utility expenses at IOT's commercial properties and $557,000
was due to an increase in property tax expense for IOT's land. These increases
were offset by a decrease of $103,500 due to the sale of two commercial
properties in 2000. Property operations expense of $5.3 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, approximated the $5.3 million in the
corresponding period in 2000.

Interest income in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001,
was $8,000 and $142,000, as compared to $108,000 and $206,000 in the
corresponding periods in 2000. The decrease was due to a $1.0 million paydown
received in May 2001 on IOT's only note receivable.

Equity in income of partnerships in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001, were losses of $30,000 and $27,000, as compared to losses of
$2,000 and $71,000 in the corresponding periods in 2000. The nine month decrease
was primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses at Eton Square Office
Building.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2001,
increased to $1.5 million from $1.3 million in the corresponding period in 2000.
Of this increase $526,000 was due to the purchase of one unimproved land parcel
in 2000 and $56,000 was due to one loan refinanced in 2001. These increases were
offset by decreases of $80,000 and $51,000 due to lower variable interest rates
at IOT's commercial properties and apartments. Decreases of $87,000 were due to
the sale of one apartment and $111,000 was due to the sale of two unimproved
land parcels in the third quarter of 2000. Interest expense for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, increased to $4.6 million from $4.0 million in the
corresponding period in 2000. Of this increase, $420,000 and $1.5 million was
due to the purchase of five apartments and one unimproved land parcel in 2000,
and $124,000 was due to one loan refinanced in 2001. These increases were offset
by decreases of $412,000 due to the sale of two commercial properties; $755,000
due to the sale of three apartments; and $181,000 due to the sale of two
unimproved land parcels in 2000. The remaining decrease of $96,000 was due to
lower variable interest rates at IOT's commercial properties and decreased
principal balances.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2001,
increased to $614,000 from $566,000 in the corresponding period in 2000. This
increase was due to $76,000 of tenant improvements at IOT's commercial
properties offset by decreases of $28,000 due to the sale of one apartment in
the third quarter of 2000. Depreciation expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, decreased to $1.8 million from $1.9 million in the
corresponding period in 2000. Of this decrease, $204,000 was due to the sale of
two commercial properties and $232,000 was due to the sale of three apartments
in 2000. These decreases were offset by an

239

increase of $200,000 due to tenant improvements at IOT's commercial properties
and an increase of $140,000 due to the purchase of five apartments in 2000.

Advisory fee expense in the three and nine months ended September 30,
2001, was $179,000 and $570,000, as compared to $170,000 and $505,000 in the
corresponding periods in 2000. The advisory fee is based on IOT's gross assets.

Net income fee was $234,000 and $1.5 million in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000. The net income fee is payable to IOT's advisor
based on 7.5% of IOT's net income.

General and administrative expense was $376,000 and $849,000 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to $181,000 and
$668,000 in the corresponding periods in 2000. The three and nine month increase
was primarily due to an increase in professional fees, taxes, and advisor cost
reimbursements.

2000 COMPARED TO 1999. IOT reported net income of $16.8 million in
2000, as compared to net income of $1.3 million in 1999. Net income included
gains on sale of real estate of $20.9 million in 2000 and gains on sale of real
estate of $1.5 million in 1999. Fluctuations in these and the other components
of revenue and expense are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Rents decreased to $13.7 million in 2000 from $16.0 million in 1999. A
decrease of $4.9 million was due to the sale of six income producing properties
in 2000 and 1999. The decrease was offset in part by an increase of $1.4 million
from the acquisition of six income producing properties in 2000 and fourth
quarter of 1999 and an additional $1.2 million was from an increase in occupancy
and rental rates at IOT's apartments and office buildings.

Interest income increased to $319,000 in 2000 from the $29,000 in 1999.
This increase was due to an increase in short-term investments, and from the
funding of a note receivable in 2000.

Property operations expense increased to $7.0 million in 2000 from $6.8
million in 1999. An increase in property operations expense of $1.7 million was
due to six income producing properties being purchased in 2000 and the fourth
quarter of 1999, offset by a decrease of $1.6 million from the sale of six
income producing properties in 2000 and 1999.

Interest expense decreased to $5.1 million in 2000 from $5.7 million in
1999. A decrease of $1.6 million was from the sale of eight properties subject
to debt in 2000 and 1999 and offset by $1.0 million from the purchase of nine
properties in 2000 and 1999.

Depreciation expense decreased to $2.5 million in 2000 from $2.7
million in 1999. A decrease of $775,000 is from the sale of six properties in
2000 and 1999, offset by an increase of $297,000 from the purchase of five
properties in 2000 and 1999 and an increase of $205,000 is from tenant
improvements. Depreciation expense in 2001 is expected to approximate 2000.

240

Advisory fee to affiliate increased to $664,000 in 2000 from $371,000
in 1999. The increase was attributable to a decrease in the operating expense
limitation refund. See Note 8 to the IOT Consolidated Financial Statements --
"Advisory Agreement."

The net income fee to affiliate increased to $1.4 million in 2000, from
$81,000 in 1999. The increase was attributable to the increase in IOT's net
income. The net income fee is based on 7.5% of IOT's net income.

General and administrative expense increased to $1.5 million in 2000
from $747,000 in 1999. This increase was primarily due to an increase in legal
fees, consultant fees, taxes and advisor cost reimbursements.

Equity in income of partnerships was a loss of $61,000 in 2000 compared
to income of $148,000. The decrease was due to the sale of two commercial
properties by the Tri-City partnership in 1999.

In 2000, gains on sale of real estate totaling $20.9 million were
realized: $903,000 on the sale of La Monte Park Apartments, $1.2 million on the
sale of Renaissance Parc Apartments, $1.9 million on the sale of Olympic Office
Building, $13.1 million on the sale of Saratoga Office Building, $2.2 million on
the sale of Eastpoint Apartments, $388,000 on the sale of Etheredge and
Fambrough land and $1.3 million recognition of a deferred gain. In 1999, IOT
recognized gains on sale of real estate totaling $1.5 million, $1.0 million
being IOT's equity share of the gain recognized by Tri-City on the sale of two
commercial properties, and $490,000 on IOT's sale of Town Center Plaza Shopping
Center. See Note 2 to the IOT Consolidated Financial Statements -- "Real Estate"
and Note 4 to the IOT Consolidated Financial Statements -- "Investment in Equity
Method Partnerships."

1999 COMPARED TO 1998. IOT reported net income of $1.3 million in 1999,
as compared to a net loss of $679,000 in 1998. Net income in 1999 included gains
on sale of real estate of $1.5 million whereas 1998's net loss included gains on
sale of real estate of $180,000. The primary factors contributing to IOT's 1999
net income a re discussed in the following paragraphs.

Rents increased to $16.0 million in 1999 from $14.3 million in 1998. Of
this increase, $1.6 million was due to higher rents and occupancy rates,
primarily at IOT's office buildings and $251,000 was attributable to a full year
of operations of an office building construction of which was completed in 1998.
This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $182,000 due to one office
building being sold in 1999.

Interest income decreased to $29,000 in 1999 from the $172,000 in 1998.
This decrease was due to a decrease in short-term investment income and the
August 1998 collection of a note receivable.

Property operations expense increased to $6.8 million in 1999 from $6.5
million in 1998. This increase was attributable to a full year of operations of
an office building construction of which was completed in 1998.

Interest expense of $5.7 million in 1999 approximated the $5.8 million
in 1998.

241

Depreciation expense increased to $2.7 million in 1999 from $2.2
million in 1998. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the
completion of office building construction.

Advisory fee increased to $371,000 in 1999 from $329,000 in 1998. Such
increase was attributable to an increase in IOT's gross assets, the basis for
the fee and a decrease in the operating expense limitation refund. See Note 8 to
the IOT Consolidated Financial Statements -- "Advisory Agreement."

A net income fee of $81,000 was earned by the advisor in 1999, the
result of IOT having net income. No fee was incurred in 1998.

General and administrative expense of $747,000 in 1999 approximated the
$755,000 in 1998.

Equity in income of partnerships increased to $148,000 in 1999 from
$113,000 in 1998. The increase was due to an equity partnership acquisition of
Eton Square and to increased rental rates at the partnership's commercial
properties.

In 1999, IOT recognized gains on sale of real estate totaling $1.5
million, $1.0 million being IOT's equity share of the gain recognized by
Tri-City on the sale of two commercial properties, and $490,000 on IOT's sale of
Town Center Plaza in November. See Note 2 to the IOT Consolidated Financial
Statements -- "Real Estate" and Note 4 to the IOT Consolidated Financial
Statements -- "Investment in Equity Method Partnerships." In 1998, IOT
recognized gains on sale of real estate totaling $180,000, its equity share of
the gain recognized by Tri-City on the sale of two apartments.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances
and regulations, IOT 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.

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

INFLATION

The effects of inflation on IOT'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 gain 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.

242

TAXES

For the years 1998, 1999 and 2000, IOT elected and in the opinion of
IOT's management qualified to be taxed as a REIT as defined under Sections 856
through 860 of the Code. To continue to qualify for federal taxation as a REIT,
IOT is required to hold at least 75% of the value of its total assets in real
estate assets, government securities, cash and cash equivalents at the close of
each quarter of each taxable year. As a REIT, IOT is also required to distribute
at least 95% of its REIT taxable income plus 95% of its net income from
foreclosure property on an annual basis to stockholders.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES REGARDING
MARKET RISK OF IOT

IOT'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 future operations. Market risk is
managed by matching the property's anticipated net operating income to an
appropriate financing.

The following table contains only those exposures that existed at
December 31, 2000. Anticipation of exposures or risk on positions that could
possibly arise was not considered. IOT's ultimate interest rate risk and its
affect on operations will depend on future capital market exposures, which
cannot be anticipated with a probable assurance level. (Dollars in thousands.)

MANAGEMENT OF IOT

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The following table sets forth certain information as of February 11,
2002 regarding IOT's executive officers and directors:

Name Age Position

David W. Starowicz* 46 Executive Vice President - Acquisitions, Sales and Construction
Ted P. Stokely** 68 Director and Chairman of the Board
Martin L. White** 62 Director

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

BCM has been providing advisory services to IOT since March 28, 1989.
Renewal of BCM's advisory agreement was approved by the board of directors on
August 18, 2000. BCM also serves as advisor to TCI and directors of IOT are also
directors of TCI. BCM also serves as advisor to ARL. The officers of IOT also
serve as officers of ARL, TCI and BCM. As of January 31, 2002, ARL and TCI owned
approximately 28.5% and 24%, respectively, of IOT's outstanding shares of common
stock and BCM owned approximately 7.4% of IOT's outstanding shares of common
stock.

Since February 1, 1990, affiliates of BCM have provided property
management services to IOT. Currently Triad provides such property management
services. Triad subcontracts with other entities for the provision of
property-level management services to IOT. The general

---------

and business experience information.

** See "MANAGEMENT OF TCI - Directors and Executive Officers of TCI" for
background and business experience information.

245

partner of Triad is BCM. The limited partners of Triad are Gene E. Phillips and
GS Realty, which is a company not affiliated with Mr. Phillips or BCM. Triad
subcontracts the property-level management and leasing of IOT's seven office
buildings and the two commercial properties owned by real estate partnerships in
which IOT and TCI are partners to Regis, a related party, which is a company
also owned by GS Realty. 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.

Regis also is entitled to receive real estate brokerage commissions in
accordance with the terms of a nonexclusive brokerage agreement.

IOT has no employees. Employees of BCM render services to IOT.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

IOT has no employees, payroll or benefit plans and pays no compensation
to its executive officers. The executive officers of IOT, who are also officers
or employees of BCM, IOT's advisor, are compensated by BCM. Such 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 "The Advisor" for a more detailed discussion of the compensation
payable to BCM.

The only remuneration paid by IOT is to the directors who are not
officers or directors of BCM or its affiliated companies. The Independent
Directors (1) review the business plan of IOT to determine that it is in the
best interest of the stockholders, (2) review the advisory contract, (3)
supervise the performance of IOT's advisor and review the reasonableness of the
compensation paid to the advisor in terms of the nature and quality of services
performed, (4) reviews the reasonableness of the total fees and expenses of IOT
and (5) select, when necessary, a qualified independent real estate appraiser to
appraise properties acquired.

Each independent director receives compensation in the amount of
$15,000 per year, plus reimbursement for expenses. The chairman of the board
receives an additional fee of $1,500 per year. The members of the Audit
Committee receive a fee of $250 for each committee meeting attended. In
addition, each independent director receives an additional fee of $1,000 per day
for any special services rendered by him to IOT outside of his ordinary duties
as director, plus reimbursement of expenses.

During 2000, $104,500 was paid to the independent directors in total
directors' fees for all services including the annual fee for service during the
period January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2000, and 2000 special service fees

Harley, (a director until June 2000) $7,500; R. Douglas Leonhard (a director
until December 2001), $18,000, Murray Shaw, (a director until March 2001)
$18,000; Ted P. Stokely, $19,000; Martin L. White, $17,250; and Edward G. Zampa

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. Dollar amounts in tables are in thousands, except per share amounts.
Certain balances for 2000 have been reclassified to conform to the 2001
presentation.

Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001, are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in ARI's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 (the "2000 Form 10-K").

NOTE 2. NOTES RECEIVABLE

In September 1999, in conjunction with the sale of two apartments, $2.1
million in purchase money financing was provided, secured by limited partnership
interests in two limited partnerships owned by the buyer. The financing bore
interest at 16.0% per annum, required monthly payments of interest only at 6.0%,
beginning in February 2000 and a $200,000 principal paydown in December 1999,
which was not received, and matured in August 2000. ARI had the option to obtain
the buyer's general and limited partnership interests in the collateral
partnerships in full satisfaction of the financing. In March 2000, ARI agreed to
forbear foreclosing on the collateral securing the note, and released one of the
partnership interests, in exchange for payment of $250,000 and executed deeds of
trusts on certain properties owned by the borrower. In March 2000, the borrower
made a $1.1 million payment, upon receipt of which ARI returned the deeds of
trust and terminated the option agreement. The borrower executed a replacement
promissory note for the remaining note balance of $1.0 million, which is
unsecured, non-interest bearing and matures in April 2003. In April 2000, ARI
funded a $100,000 loan to the borrower. The loan is secured by five second lien
deeds of trust, is non-interest bearing and matured in September 2001. At
November 2001, extension terms are being negotiated.

In April 2000, a loan with a then 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 February 2001, the principal balance was
increased to $1.6 million, the interest rate was increased to 18.0% per annum,
and the maturity date was extended to June 2001. At November 2001, extension
terms are being negotiated.

At December 31, 2000, a loan with a principal balance of $404,000 to La
Quinta Partners, LLC, was in default. In March 2001, a settlement was reached,
whereby ARI collected $410,000 in full satisfaction of the note including
accrued but unpaid interest.

In July 2000, ARI sold a 749.1 acre tract of its Keller land parcel for
$10.0 million, receiving $8.7 million in cash and providing purchase money
financing of the remaining $1.3 million of the sales price. The loan bears
interest at 12.0% per annum. In September 2000, $500,000 in principal and
interest was collected. All remaining principal and interest was due July 31,
2001. The loan was secured by 100% of the shares of DM Development, Inc. and an
assignment of land sales proceeds. The loan had a principal balance of $817,000

NOTE 4. OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS

In May 2001, ARI purchased the leasehold interests in 37 oil and gas
mineral development properties, which include 131 drilled wells. The total
proved reserves are 6.5 million barrels of oil and 3.3 billion cubic feet of
natural gas. The total purchase price was $4.7 million, plus a 40% profit
participation. The Operator's Interest was purchased for $375,000, with $25,000
cash paid at closing. ARI gave a note payable for the remaining $350,000. The
note bears no interest, and matures in May 2002. Monthly principal payments of
$25,000 are required. The Working Interests were purchased for $4.3 million,
with $125,000 cash paid at closing. ARI gave a note payable for $250,000. The
note bears no interest, and matures in November 2001. One-half of the principal
was paid in August 2001. The remaining $4.0 million was paid by issuing 3,968.75
shares of ARI Series F Preferred Stock, which is redeemable quarterly in an
amount equal to 20% of net cash flow from the oil and gas operations. The stock
has a liquidation value of $1,000 per share, and pays no dividends. Through
September 2001, sales have totaled $97,000, total operating expenses are
$186,000, and oilfield equipment purchases have been $361,000.

NOTE 5. INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY INVESTEES

Real estate entities. ARI's investment in real estate entities at
September 30, 2001, included equity securities of two affiliated publicly traded
real estate investment companies, Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc.
("IORI") and Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. ("TCI"), and interests in
real estate joint venture partnerships. BCM, ARI's advisor, serves as advisor to
IORI and TCI.

ARI accounts for its investment in IORI and TCI and the joint venture
partnerships using the equity method. Substantially all of the equity securities
of IORI and TCI are pledged as collateral for borrowings. See Note 8. "Margin
Borrowings."

Management continues to believe that the market value of both IORI and TCI
undervalues their assets, and, therefore, ARI may continue to increase its
ownership in these entities in 2001, as its liquidity permits. On October 3,
2000, ARI and IORI entered into a stock option agreement which provided IORI and
ARI with an option to purchase 1,858,900 shares of Common Stock of TCI from a
third party. On October 19, 2000, IORI assigned all of its rights to purchase
such shares to ARI. The total cost to purchase the TCI shares was $30.8 million.
In October 2000, ARI paid $5.6 million of the option price. In April 2001, the
remainder of the option price was paid and ARI acquired the TCI shares.

Set forth below is summarized results of operations of equity investees for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001:

Revenues.................................................... $115,641

Gain on sale of real estate................................. 46,485

========

ARI's share of equity investees' loss before gains on the sale of real
estate was $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, and its
share of equity investees' gains on sale of real estate was $18.0 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

ARI's cash flow from IORI and TCI is dependent on the ability of each of
them to make distributions. In the fourth quarter of 2000, IORI and TCI
suspended distributions.

In June 2000, ARI sold 1.6 million shares of TCI stock, resulting in a $7.7
million loss, and 54,000 shares of IORI stock, resulting in a $246,000 loss.
These losses are included in equity income (loss) of investees on the Statement
of Operations.

ART Florida Portfolio II, Ltd. In June 2000, Vestavia Lakes Apartments
partnership, in Orlando, Florida, in which ART Portfolio II, Ltd. owned an
interest, was sold. A loss was incurred on the sale, of which ARI's share was
$967,000, which is included in equity income (loss) of investees in the
accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Elm Fork Ranch, L.P. In June 2000, ARI sold its partnership interests for
$2.0 million in cash, retaining an option to repurchase its interests. In
January 2001, ARI purchased 100% of the partnership interests for $9.2 million,
including financing of $9.0 million.

NOTE 6. MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES -- TRADING PORTFOLIO

Since 1994, ARI has been purchasing equity securities of entities other
than those of IORI and TCI to diversify and increase the liquidity of its margin
accounts. In the first nine months of 2001, ARI did not purchase or sell any
such securities. These equity securities are considered a trading portfolio and
are carried at market value. At September 30, 2001, ARI recognized an unrealized
decrease in the market value of its trading portfolio securities of $43,000.
Unrealized and realized gains and losses on trading portfolio securities are
included in other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

NOTE 8. MARGIN BORROWINGS

ARI has margin arrangements with various brokerage firms which provide for
borrowing of up to 50% of the market value of marketable equity securities. The
borrowings under such margin arrangements are secured by equity securities of
IORI, TCI and ARI's trading portfolio and bear interest rates ranging from 6.0%
to 24.0%. Margin borrowings totaled $28.7 million at September 30, 2001.

In April 2000, ARI obtained a security loan in the amount of $5.0 million
with a financial institution. ARI received net cash of $4.6 million after
various closing costs. The loan bears interest at 1% over the prime rate
(currently 6.0% per annum), requires monthly payments of principal and interest
and matures September 2002. The loan is secured by 1,050,000 shares of ARI
Common Stock held by BCM, ARI's advisor.

In March 2001, ARI obtained a security loan in the amount of $3.5 million
from a financial institution. ARI received net cash of $3.5 million after paying
various closing costs. The loan bore interest at 16.0% per annum. In April and
May 2001, a total of $2.0 million in principal paydowns were made. In July 2001,
the loan was repaid in full, including accrued but unpaid interest. The loan was
secured by 472,000 shares of TCI owned by ARI and 128,000 shares of ARI owned by
One Realco.

In September 2001, ARI obtained a security loan in the amount of $20.0
million from a financial institution. ARI received net cash of $16.1 million
after the payment of various closing costs and $3.4 million repayment of
principal and accrued interest on an existing loan with the same lender. Of the
total loan amount, $19.5 million bears interest at 24% per annum, while the
remaining $500,000 bears interest at 20% per annum. The loan requires monthly
payments of interest only and matures in September 2002. The loan is secured by
2,602,608 shares of TCI common stock held by ARI and 920,507 shares of TCI
common stock held by BCM, ARI's advisor.

In October 2001, ARI obtained a security loan in the amount of $1.0 million
from a financial institution. ARI received net cash of $1.0 million after
payment of various closing costs. The loan bears interest at 1% over the prime
rate (currently 6.0% per annum), requires monthly payments of interest only and
matures in October 2003. The loan is callable upon 60 days prior notice, and is
secured by 200,000 shares of ARI Common Stock held by BCM, ARI's advisor.

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES

Financial statement income varies from taxable 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 payable and the difference in the allowance for estimated losses.
ARI had a loss for federal income tax purposes in the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2001; therefore, it recorded no provision for income taxes.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, a provision for income taxes in
the amount of $1.7 million was recorded.

NOTE 10. OPERATING SEGMENTS

Significant differences among the accounting policies of the operating
segments as compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements principally
involve the calculation and allocation of administrative expenses. Management
evaluates the performance of each of the operating segments and allocates
resources to them based on their net operating income and cash flow. Items of
income that are not reflected in the segments are equity in income of investees
and other income which totaled $3.4 million and $9.2 million for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2001 and $3.2 million and $3.3 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. Expenses that are not reflected
in the segments are general and administrative expenses, minority interest,
incentive fees, advisory fees and net income fees which totaled $7.6 million and
$24.7 million for the three and nine months ended
F-17

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

September 30, 2001 and $9.3 million and $48.1 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000. Excluded from operating segment assets are
assets of $119.9 million in 2001 and $92.1 million in 2000, which are not

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Liquidity. Management expects that ARI 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 ARI's debt
obligations as they mature. ARI will rely on aggressive land sales, selected
income producing property sales and, to the extent necessary, additional
borrowings to meet its cash requirements.

F-19

AMERICAN REALTY INVESTORS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

Commitments. In March 1999, ARI reached an 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. Additionally,
one million units were purchased in January 2000 and two million units were
purchased in May 2001. ARI has committed to purchase the remaining two million
units in May 2002.

In April 2001, ARI reached an agreement with the Class A unitholders of ART
Palm, L.P., to acquire 7,236,250 of their Class A units in December 2001, for
$5.8 million.

Litigation. ARI is involved in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of ARI's management, the outcome of these
lawsuits will not have a material impact on ARI's financial condition, results
of operations or liquidity.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors of
American Realty Investors, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American
Realty Investors, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. 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.

As described in Note 20, American Realty Investors, Inc.'s management has
indicated its intent to sell both land and operating properties and refinance or
extend debt coming due, to meet its liquidity needs.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
American Realty Investors, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and
1999, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of American Realty
Investors, Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries 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 1998 and 1999 have been reclassified to conform to the
2000 presentation.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and company business. American Realty Investors, Inc.
("ARI"), a Nevada corporation, is the successor through merger to American
Realty Trust, Inc. ("ART"), a Georgia corporation and National Realty, L.P.
("NRLP"), a Delaware partnership, that primarily invests in real estate and real
estate-related entities and purchases and originates mortgage loans.

The merger of ART and NRLP into ARI was completed on August 2, 2000. NRLP
unitholders, except for ART, received one share of ARI common stock for each
unit of NRLP held. ART stockholders received .91 shares of ARI Common Stock for
each share of ART Common Stock held. Each share of ART Preferred Stock was
converted into one share of Preferred Stock of ARI, having substantially the
same rights as ART's Preferred Stock. The ART shares of Common Stock ceased
trading on the New York Stock Exchange on August 2, 2000. ARI Common Stock
commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange on August 3, 2000. 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 a wholly-owned subsidiary
of ART as general partner of NRLP, ART began consolidation of NRLP's accounts on
December 31, 1998 and consolidation of its operations subsequent to that date.
For reporting purposes, the merger is treated as the purchase of NRLP by ART;
accordingly, the historical information presented for ARI is that of ART.

Basis of consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the
accounts of ARI, and all controlled subsidiaries and partnerships. The equity
method was used to account for ART's 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 these 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. Interest income is not
recognized 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 terms of
the note will not be collected. Valuation allowances are provided for estimated
losses on notes receivable to the extent that the 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

F-28

AMERICAN REALTY INVESTORS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

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. ARI may be considered to have the ability
to exercise significant influence over the operating and investment policies of
certain of its investees. Those investees are accounted for using the equity
method. Under the equity method, an initial investment, recorded at cost, is
increased by a proportionate share of the investee's operating income and any
additional investment and decreased by a proportionate share of the investee's
operating losses and distributions received.

Present value premiums/discounts. Present value premiums and discounts are
provided on notes receivable or payable that have interest rates that differ
substantially from prevailing market rates and such premiums and discounts are
amortized 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 reportable operating
segments to be those that are used for internal reporting purposes, which
disaggregates operations by type of real estate.

Fair value of financial instruments. The following assumptions were used
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
ARI's interest in the collateral property was 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.

Employee stock option plans. Employee stock options are presented in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees." Compensation cost is limited to the excess of the quoted
market price. No compensation cost is recorded if the quoted market price is
below the exercise price.

NOTE 2. NRLP MANAGEMENT CORP.

Effective December 18, 1998, NRLP Management Corp. ("NMC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary, was elected general partner of NRLP. NMC, as general partner, has
sole discretion in determining methods of obtaining funds for NRLP's operations,
and the acquisition and disposition of its assets. Upon the election of NMC as
general partner of NRLP, consolidation of NRLP's accounts and operations was
begun.

Interest income is recognized on nonperforming notes receivable on a cash
basis. For the years 2000, 1999 and 1998 unrecognized interest income on such
nonperforming notes receivable totaled $316,000, $1.0 million and $716,000,
respectively.

Notes receivable at December 31, 2000, mature from 2001 to 2003 with
interest rates ranging from 10.25% to 15.0% per annum and a weighted average
rate of 12.0% 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 $14.0 million are due in 2001.

In July 2000, ARI sold a 749.1 acre tract of its Keller land parcel for
$10.0 million, receiving $8.7 million in cash and providing purchase money
financing of the remaining $1.3 million of the sales price. The loan bears
interest at 12.0% per annum. A payment of $500,000 principal and interest was
collected in September 2000 and all remaining principal and interest is due July
31, 2001. The loan is secured by 100% of the shares of DM Development, Inc. and
an assignment of proceeds. The loan had a principal balance of $817,000 at
December 31, 2000. In March 2001, $850,000 in principal and interest was
collected.

In August 2000, ARI sold 20.5 acres of its Mason Goodrich land parcel for
$3.6 million, receiving $2.1 million in cash and providing purchase money
financing of the remaining $1.5 million of the sales price. The loan bore
interest at 13.5% per annum, and matured in December 2000. All principal and
interest were due at maturity. In February 2001, the loan was collected in full,
including accrued but unpaid interest.

In June 2000, the 124,322 sq.ft. Marina Playa Office Building in Santa
Clara, California, was sold for $25.8 million, ARI received $7.0 million in cash
and provided financing of $18.8 million in the form of a wraparound mortgage
note. Subsequently, ARI sold the note receivable, net of the underlying debt,
for $6.2 million, retaining a $3.9 million participation. In August 2000, the
participation was collected in full, including accrued but unpaid interest.

In August 1999, a $2.6 million loan was funded to JNC Enterprises, Inc.
("JNC"). The loan was subsequently split into two pieces. The loans were 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 bore interest at 16.0% per annum and
matured in February 2000. All principal and interest were due at maturity. In
March and April 2000, the loans were collected in full, including accrued but
unpaid interest.

In September 1999, in conjunction with the sale of two apartments in
Austin, Texas, $2.1 million in purchase money financing was provided, secured by
limited partnership interests in two limited partnerships owned by the buyer.
The financing bore interest at 16.0% per annum, required monthly payments of
interest only at 6.0% per annum, beginning in February 2000 and required a
$200,000 principal paydown in December 1999, which was not received, and matured
in August 2000. ARI had the option of obtaining the buyer's general and limited
partnership interests in the collateral partnerships in full satisfaction of the
financing. In March 2000, ARI agreed to forbear foreclosing on the collateral
securing the note and released one of the partnership interests, in exchange for
a payment of $250,000 and executed deeds of trusts on certain properties owned
by the buyer. In March 2000, the borrower made a $1.1 million payment, upon
receipt of which ARI returned the deeds of trust. The borrower executed a
replacement promissory note for the remaining note balance of $1.0 million,
which is unsecured, non-interest bearing and matures in April 2003. In April
2000, ARI funded a $100,000 loan to the borrower. The loan is secured by five
second lien deeds of trust, is non-interest bearing and matures in September
2001.

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. In February 2001, the loan amount was increased to $1.6
million and the maturity date was extended to June 2001.

During 1998 and 1999, $2.1 million of a $2.2 million loan commitment was
funded 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 a deed to the
property was accepted 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 1998, a $942,000 loan was funded to Ellis Development Company, Inc.
The loan was secured by 4.5 acres of land in Abilene, Texas, bore interest at
14.0% per annum and had an extended maturity date of August 2000. In March 2000,
the loan was collected in full including accrued but unpaid interest.

In June 1998, a $365,000 loan was funded 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. In January 2000,
the loan was collected in full, including accrued but unpaid interest.

In June and July 1998, a $4.2 million loan was funded to Cuchara Partners,
Ltd. and Ski Rio Partners, Ltd., affiliates of JNC. The loan was secured by (1)
a first lien on approximately 450 acres of land in Huerfano County, Colorado,
known as Cuchara Valley Mountain Ski Resort; (2) an assignment of a $2.0 million
promissory note 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 bore interest at 16.0% per annum and had an extended
maturity date of March 2000. All principal and interest were due at maturity. 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 and September 1999,
paydowns totaling $2.6 million were received. In April 2000, the loan with a
then principal balance of $1.6 million was collected in full, including accrued
but unpaid interest.

land in La Quinta, California, and the personal guarantee of the manager of the
borrower. The loan had an extended maturity date of November 1999. All principal
and interest were due at maturity. In November and December 1998, $250,000 in
principal paydowns were received. In the second quarter of 1999, the loan was
modified, increasing the interest rate to 15.0% per annum and extending the
maturity to November 1999. Accrued but unpaid interest was added to the
principal balance, increasing it by $42,000 to $402,000. In the fourth quarter
of 1999, an additional $2,000 was funded, increasing the loan balance to
$404,000. In March 2000, $25,000 in interest was collected and the loan's
maturity date was further extended to April 2000. The borrower did not repay the
loan at maturity. In March 2001, a settlement was reached, whereby ARI collected
$410,000 in full satisfaction of the note.

In October 1998, a $2.1 million loan was funded to Frisco Panther Partners,
Ltd., a JNC affiliate. The loan was 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 paydown of $820,000 was received on this
loan. The loan bore interest at 16.0% per annum and had an extended maturity
date of March 2000. All principal and interest were due at maturity. In April
2000, the loan with a then principal balance of $663,000 was collected in full
including accrued but unpaid interest.

In December 1998, $3.3 million of a $5.0 million loan commitment was funded
to JNC. In January 1999, a $1.3 million paydown was received, and subsequently
an additional $3.0 million was funded, increasing the loan balance to $5.0
million. The loan was secured by a second lien on 1,791 acres of land in Denton
County, Texas, a second lien on 91 acres of land in Collin County, Texas. The
loan bore interest at 16.0% per annum and had an extended maturity date of March
2000. All principal and interest were due at maturity. In April 2000, the loan
was collected in full, including accrued but unpaid interest.

Related Party. In February 1999, a $5.0 million unsecured line of credit
was funded to One Realco Corporation ("One Realco"), which owns approximately
12.8% of the outstanding shares of ARI's Common Stock. All principal and
interest are due at maturity in February 2002 and the line of credit is
guaranteed by Basic Capital Management, Inc, ("BCM"), ARI's advisor. In March
2000, the line was modified and extended, increasing the loan commitment to
$11.0 million, and an additional $1.2 million was funded. In exchange for the
modification, the borrower paid all accrued interest and pledged collateral
consisting of a $10.0 million promissory note secured by the stock of World
Trade Company, Ltd. ("World Trade"), which owns 80% of an entity which owns a
hotel in Sofia, Bulgaria. In July 2000, the line was again modified, increasing
the loan commitment to $15.0 million. In September 2000, the line of credit with
a then principal balance of $14.6 million was paid in full, including accrued
but unpaid interest. Subsequently, ARI acquired 100% of the stock of World Trade
for $18.0 million in cash. The unsecured line of credit remains available to be
drawn upon by One Realco.

March 2000. In August 2000, the loan was collected in full, including accrued
but unpaid interest. A corporation controlled by Richard D. Morgan, is the
general partner of 261, L.P. Mr. Morgan serves as a director of ARI.

In 1998, a $1.8 million loan commitment was funded to Warwick of Summit,
Inc. ("Warwick"). 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 had an extended maturity date of December 2000. All principal and
interest were due at maturity. In December 1999, the borrower sold the
collateral property, and $810,000 of the net proceeds were paid to ARI, of which
$386,000 was applied to interest and the remaining $424,000 was applied to
principal, reducing the principal balance to $1.7 million. Escrowed monies of
$377,000 were to be received in 2000. However, through December 31, 2000, only
$50,000 had been received. The loan is currently unsecured. Richard D. Morgan, a
Warwick shareholder, serves as a director ARI.

Beginning in 1997 through January 1999, a $1.6 million loan commitment was
funded 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 undeveloped land in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and (3) the personal
guarantees of the Bordeaux members. The loan bears interest at 14.0% per annum.
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, interest ceased being accrued on the loan in the second
quarter of 1999. In October 1999, a $724,000 paydown was received, which was
applied first to accrued but unpaid interest due of $261,000 then to principal,
reducing the loan balance to $1.4 million. In June 2000, the note was further
modified increasing the loan commitment to $1.5 million, extending the maturity
date to December 2000, and payments to net revenues of the shopping center. The
loan was not repaid at maturity. Richard D. Morgan, a Bordeaux member, serves as
a director ARI.
