PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (“TCI” or the “Company” or “we” or “us”), a Nevada corporation, is the successor to a California business trust that 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 Continental Mortgage and Equity Trust (“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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (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.

TCI’s real estate at December 31, 2006, consisted of 165 properties held for investment, 1 partnership property, 14 construction properties and 3 properties held-for-sale. In 2006, TCI purchased 46 properties held for investment. TCI’s mortgage notes receivable portfolio at December 31, 2006, consisted of 30 mortgage loans. TCI’s real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios are more fully discussed in ITEM 2. “PROPERTIES.”

Effective March 31, 2003, TCI financial results were consolidated in the American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARI”) Form 10-K and related consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2006, ARI through subsidiaries owned 82.2% of the outstanding TCI common shares.

Business Plan and Investment Policy

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 and one property is located in Poland. Information regarding TCI’s real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios is set forth in ITEM 2. “PROPERTIES”, and in Schedules III and IV to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in ITEM 8. “CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.” TCI has four operating segments; apartments, commercial properties, hotels and land ownership.

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

Management intends to pursue sales opportunities for properties in stabilized real estate markets where TCI’s properties have reached their potential. Management also expects to be an opportunistic seller of properties in markets where demand exceeds current supply.

Management’s operating strategy is to attempt to maximize each TCI property’s operating income through aggressive leasing and controlling operating expenses while at the same time making property renovations and/or improvements where appropriate. Such expenditures maintain or enhance the value of the properties, making the properties more desirable to prospective tenants and thereby allowing the Company to charge higher rents.

Management does not expect to fund or acquire new mortgage loans in 2007. However, TCI may originate mortgage loans in conjunction with providing purchase money financing related to a property sale. Management intends to service and hold for investment the mortgage notes in TCI’s portfolio. TCI may borrow against its mortgage notes, using the proceeds from such borrowings for property acquisitions or for general working capital needs. Management also intends to pursue TCI’s rights vigorously with respect to mortgage notes in default. TCI’s Articles of Incorporation impose no limitations on its investment policy with respect to mortgage loans and does not prohibit the Company from investing more than a specified percentage of its assets in any one mortgage loan.

Management of the Company

Although the 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 were performed until July 1, 2003 by Basic Capital Management, Inc. (“BCM”), a contractual advisor under the supervision of the Board. Effective July 1, 2003, BCM was replaced as contractual advisor to TCI by Prime Asset Management, Inc., (“PAMI”) under the same terms as BCM’s advisory agreement. PAMI is owned by Realty Advisors (80.0%) and Syntek West, Inc. (20.0%), related parties. Syntek West, Inc. (“Syntek”) is owned by Gene E. Phillips. Effective August 18, 2003, PAMI changed its name to Prime Income Asset Management, Inc., (“PIAMI”). On October 1, 2003, Prime Income Asset Management, LLC (“Prime”), which is owned 100% by PIAMI, replaced PIAMI as the advisor to TCI. The duties of Prime include, among other things, locating, investigating, evaluating and recommending real estate, mortgage note investment and sales opportunities, as well as financing and refinancing sources. Prime also serves as a consultant in connection with TCI’s business plan and investment decisions made by the Board.

Prime is a single-member, limited liability company, the sole member of which is PIAMI, which is owned 80% by Realty Advisors, Inc., and 20% by Syntek. Realty Advisors, Inc. is owned 100% by a trust for the benefit of the children of Gene E. Phillips. Syntek is owned 100% by Gene E. Phillips. Mr. Phillips is not an officer or director of Prime, but serves as a representative of the trust and is an officer of Syntek, is involved in daily consultation with the officers of Prime and has significant influence over the conduct of Prime’s business, including the rendering of advisory services and the making of investment decisions for itself and for TCI. Prime is more fully described in ITEM 10. “DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS & CORPORATE GOVERNANCE—The Advisor.”

Prime also serves as advisor to ARI. The directors of TCI are also directors of ARI. Certain officers of TCI also serve as officers of ARI, BCM and Prime. As of March 23, 2007, TCI owned approximately 24.0% of Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (“IORI”) outstanding shares of common stock. ARI owns approximately 82.2% of the outstanding shares of TCI’s common stock.

For more than the past three years, Triad Realty Services, Ltd. (“Triad”) an affiliate of Prime has provided property management services to TCI. Triad subcontracts with other entities for the provision of property-level management services to TCI. The general partner of Triad is PIAMI. The limited partner of Triad is Highland Realty Services, Inc. (“Highland”). Triad subcontracts the property-level management and leasing of 24 of TCI’s commercial properties (office buildings, shopping centers and industrial warehouses) to Regis Realty I, LLC (“Regis I”), which is owned by Highland. Regis I receives property and construction management fees and leasing commissions in accordance with the terms of its property-level management agreement with Triad. Regis I is also entitled to receive real estate brokerage commissions in accordance with the terms of a non-exclusive

brokerage agreement. Since January 1, 2003, Regis Hotel I, LLC, has managed TCI’s four hotels. The sole member of Regis I and Regis Hotel I, LLC is Highland. See ITEM 10. “DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS & CORPORATE GOVERNANCE—The Advisor.”

TCI has no employees. Employees of Prime render services to TCI in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement dated October 1, 2003.

Competition

Real Estate. The real estate business is highly competitive and TCI competes with numerous entities engaged in real estate activities (including certain entities described in ITEM 13. “CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS—Related Party Transactions”), some of which have greater financial resources than TCI. 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 leasing and 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 include ease of access to the property, the adequacy of related facilities, such as parking and other amenities, 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 residents. Management believes that beyond general economic circumstances and trends, the degree to which properties are renovated or new properties developed in the competing submarket are also competitive factors. See also Item 1A. “RISK 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 and by aggressive buyers attempting to penetrate or dominate a particular market.

As described above and in ITEM 13. “CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS—Related Party Transactions,” certain officers and directors of TCI also serve as officers and directors of other entities also advised by Prime, which have business objectives similar to those of TCI. TCI’s directors and officers 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 and directors 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 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—Certain Business Relationships,” TCI also competes with other entities which are affiliates of Prime and which have investment objectives similar to TCI’s and 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, Prime intends to continue to exercise its best judgment as to what is fair and reasonable under the circumstances in accordance with applicable law.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves various risks. All investors should carefully consider the following risk factors in conjunction with the other information in this Report before trading our securities.

Risk Factors Related to our Business

Adverse events concerning TCI’s existing tenants or negative market conditions affecting TCI’s existing tenants could have an adverse impact on TCI’s ability to attract new tenants, release space, collect rent or renew leases, and thus could adversely affect cash flow from operations and inhibit growth. Cash flow from operations depends in part on the ability to lease space to tenants on economically favorable terms. TCI could be adversely affected by various facts and events over which the Company has limited or no control, such as:

•

lack of demand for space in areas where the properties are located;

•

inability to retain existing tenants and attract new tenants;

•

oversupply of or reduced demand for space and changes in market rental rates;

•

defaults by tenants or failure to pay rent on a timely basis;

•

the need to periodically renovate and repair marketable space;

•

physical damage to properties;

•

economic or physical decline of the areas where properties are located;

•

potential risk of functional obsolescence of properties over time.

At any time, any tenant may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its financial condition. As a result, a tenant may delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, decline to extend a lease upon its expiration, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy. Any tenant bankruptcy or insolvency, leasing delay or failure to make rental payments when due could result in the termination of the tenant’s lease and material losses to the Company.

If tenants do not renew their leases as they expire, TCI may not be able to rent the space. Furthermore, leases that are renewed, and some new leases for space that is relet, may have terms that are less economically favorable than expiring lease terms, or may require TCI to incur significant costs, such as renovations, tenant improvements or lease transaction costs. Any of these events could adversely affect cash flow from operations and TCI’s ability to make distributions to shareholders and service indebtedness. A significant portion of the costs of owning property, such as real estate taxes, insurance, and debt service payments, are not necessarily reduced when circumstances cause a decrease in rental income from the properties.

TCI may not be able to compete successfully with other entities that operate in our industry. TCI experiences a great deal of competition in attracting tenants for the properties and in locating land to develop and properties to acquire.

In TCI’s effort to lease its properties, TCI competes for tenants with a broad spectrum of other landlords in each of the markets. These competitors include, among others, publicly-held REITs, privately-held entities, individual property owners and tenants who wish to sublease their space. Some of these competitors may be able to offer prospective tenants more attractive financial terms than TCI is able to offer.

If the availability of land or high quality properties in TCI’s markets diminishes, operating results could be adversely affected.

TCI may experience increased operating costs which could adversely affect our financial results and the value of our properties. TCI’s properties are subject to increases in operating expenses such as insurance, cleaning, electricity, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, administrative costs and other costs associated with security, landscaping, repairs, and maintenance of the properties. While some current tenants are obligated by their leases to reimburse TCI for a portion of these costs, there is no assurance that these tenants will make such payments or agree to pay these costs upon renewal or new tenants will agree to pay these costs. If operating expenses increase in TCI’s markets, TCI may not be able to increase rents or reimbursements in all of these markets to offset the increased expenses, without at the same time decreasing occupancy rates. If this occurs, TCI’s ability to make distributions to shareholders and service indebtedness could be adversely affected.

TCI’s ability to achieve growth in operating income depends in part on its ability to develop additional properties. TCI intends to continue to develop properties where warranted by market conditions. TCI has a number of ongoing development and land projects being readied for commencement.

Additionally, general construction and development activities include the following risks:

•

construction and leasing of a property may not be completed on schedule, which could result in increased expenses and construction costs, and would result in reduced profitability for that property;

•

construction costs may exceed original estimates due to increases in interest rates and increased cost of materials, labor or other costs, possibly making the property less profitable because of inability to increase rents to compensate for the increase in construction costs;

•

some developments may fail to achieve expectations, possibly making them less profitable;

•

TCI may be unable to obtain, or face delays in obtaining, required zoning, land-use, building, occupancy, and other governmental permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs and could require TCI to abandon its activities entirely with respect to a project;

•

TCI may abandon development opportunities after the initial exploration, which may result in failure to recover costs already incurred. If TCI determines to alter or discontinue its development efforts, future costs of the investment may be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized and TCI may determine the investment is impaired resulting in a loss;

•

TCI may expend funds on and devote management’s time to projects which will not be completed;

•

occupancy rates and rents at newly-completed properties may fluctuate depending on various factors including market and economic conditions, and may result in lower than projected rental rates and reduced income from operations.

TCI faces risks associated with property acquisitions. TCI acquires individual properties and various portfolios of properties and intends to continue to do so. Acquisition activities are subject to the following risks:

•

when TCI is able to locate a desired property, competition from other real estate investors may significantly increase the seller’s offering price;

•

acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;

•

the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be higher than original estimates;

•

acquired properties may be located in new markets where TCI faces risks associated with an incomplete knowledge or understanding of the local market, a limited number of established business relationships in the area and a relative unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures;

•

TCI may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into existing operations, and results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

TCI may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities. However, if an unknown liability was later asserted against the acquired properties, TCI might be required to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect cash flow.

Many of TCI’s properties are concentrated in our primary markets and the Company may suffer economic harm as a result of adverse conditions in those markets. TCI’s properties are located principally in specific geographic areas in the Southwestern, Southeastern, and Midwestern United States. The Company’s overall performance is largely dependent on economic conditions in those regions.

TCI is leveraged and may not be able to meet our debt service obligations. TCI had total indebtedness at December 31, 2006 of approximately $968.1 million. Substantially all assets have been pledged to secure debt. These borrowings increase the risk of loss because they represent a prior claim on assets and most require fixed payments regardless of profitability. TCI’s leveraged position makes it vulnerable to declines in the general economy and may limit the Company’s ability to pursue other business opportunities in the future.

TCI may not be able to access financial markets to obtain capital on a timely basis, or on acceptable terms. TCI relies on proceeds from property dispositions and third party capital sources for a portion of its capital needs, including capital for acquisitions and development. The public debt and equity markets are among the sources upon which the Company relies. There is no guarantee TCI will be able to access these markets or any other source of capital. The ability to access the public debt and equity markets depends on a variety of factors, including:

•

general economic conditions affecting these markets;

•

TCI’s own financial structure and performance;

•

the market’s opinion of real estate companies in general;

•

the market’s opinion of real estate companies that own properties similar to TCI.

TCI may suffer adverse effects as a result of terms and covenants relating to the Company’s indebtedness. Required payments on TCI’s indebtedness generally are not reduced if the economic performance of the portfolio declines. If the economic performance declines, net income, cash flow from operations and cash available for distribution to stockholders may be reduced. If payments on debt cannot be made, TCI could sustain a loss or suffer judgments, or in the case of mortgages, suffer foreclosures by mortgagees. Further, some obligations contain cross-default and/or cross-acceleration provisions, which means that a default on one obligation may constitute a default on other obligations.

TCI anticipates only a small portion of the principal of its debt will be repaid prior to maturity. Therefore, TCI is likely to refinance a portion of its outstanding debt as it matures. There is a risk that TCI may not be able to refinance existing debt or the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of the maturing debt. If principal balances due at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended, or repaid with proceeds from other sources, such as the proceeds of sales of assets or new equity capital, cash flow may not be sufficient to repay all maturing debt in years when significant “balloon” payments come due.

TCI’s credit facilities and unsecured debt contain customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on the ability to incur indebtedness, including total debt to asset ratios, secured debt to total asset ratios, debt service coverage ratios, and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt, which TCI must maintain. TCI’s continued ability to borrow is subject to compliance with financial and other covenants. In addition, failure to comply with such covenants could cause a default under credit facilities, and TCI may then be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under those circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available, or be available only on unattractive terms.

TCI’s degree of leverage could limit our ability to obtain additional financing or affect the market price of our common stock. The degree of leverage could affect TCI’s ability to obtain additional financing for working

capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes. The degree of leverage could also make TCI more vulnerable to a downturn in business or the general economy.

An increase in interest rates would increase interest costs on variable rate debt and could adversely impact the ability to refinance existing debt. TCI currently has, and may incur more, indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, if interest rates increase, so will the interest costs, which could adversely affect cash flow and the ability to pay principal and interest on TCI’s debt and the ability to make distributions to shareholders. Further, rising interest rates could limit TCI’s ability to refinance existing debt when it matures.

Unbudgeted capital expenditures or cost overruns could adversely affect business operations and cash flow. If capital expenditures for ongoing or planned development projects or renovations exceed expectations, the additional cost of these expenditures could have an adverse effect on business operations and cash flow. In addition, TCI might not have access to funds on a timely basis to pay the unexpected expenditures.

Construction costs are funded in large part through construction financing, which the Company may guarantee and the Company’s obligation to pay interest on this financing continues until the rental project is completed, leased up and permanent financing is obtained, or the for sale project is sold or the construction loan is otherwise paid. Unexpected delays in completion of one or more ongoing projects could also have a significant adverse impact on business operations and cash flow.

TCI may need to sell properties from time-to-time for cash flow purposes. Because of the lack of liquidity of real estate investments generally, TCI’s ability to respond to changing circumstances may be limited. Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly. In the event that TCI must sell assets to generate cash flow, TCI cannot predict whether there will be a market for those assets in the time period desired, or whether TCI will be able to sell the assets at a price that will allow the Company to fully recoup its investment. TCI may not be able to realize the full potential value of the assets and may incur costs related to the early pay-off of the debt secured by such assets.

The Company intends to devote resources to the development of new projects. TCI plans to continue developing new projects as opportunities arise in the future. Development and construction activities entail a number of risks, including but not limited to the following:

•

TCI may abandon a project after spending time and money determining its feasibility;

•

construction costs may materially exceed original estimates;

•

the revenue from a new project may not be enough to make it profitable or generate a positive cash flow;

•

TCI may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms for development of a property, if at all;

•

the Company may not complete construction and lease-ups on schedule, resulting in increased development or carrying costs;

•

TCI may not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, necessary governmental permits.

The overall business is subject to all of the risks associated with the real estate industry. TCI is subject to all risks incident to investment in real estate, many of which relate to the general lack of liquidity of real estate investments, including, but not limited to:

•

TCI’s real estate assets are concentrated primarily in the Southwest and any deterioration in the general economic conditions of this region could have an adverse effect;

•

changes in interest rates may make the ability to satisfy debt service requirements more burdensome;

•

lack of availability of financing may render the purchase, sale or refinancing of a property more difficult or unattractive;

•

changes in real estate and zoning laws;

•

increases in real estate taxes and insurance costs;

•

federal or local economic or rent control;

•

acts of terrorism, and

•

hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes and other similar natural disasters.

Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry

Real estate investments are illiquid, and the Company may not be able to sell properties if and when it is appropriate to do so. Real estate generally cannot be sold quickly. TCI may not be able to dispose of properties promptly in response to economic or other conditions. In addition, provisions of the Internal Revenue Code may limit TCI’s ability to sell properties (without incurring significant tax costs) in some situations when it may be otherwise economically advantageous to do so, thereby adversely affecting returns to stockholders and adversely impacting TCI’s ability to meet it’s obligations.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

TCI’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 TCI’s present operations.

Details of TCI’s real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios at December 31, 2006, are set forth in Schedules III and IV to the Consolidated Financial Statements included at ITEM 8. “CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.” The discussions set forth below under the headings “Real Estate” and “Mortgage Loans” provide certain summary information concerning TCI’s real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios.

TCI’s real estate portfolio consists of properties held for investment, properties held for sale, properties subject to sales contract, 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, 2006, none of TCI’s properties, mortgage notes receivable or investments in partnerships exceeded 10.0% of total assets. At December 31, 2006, 79.4% of TCI’s assets consisted of properties held for investment, 4.4% consisted of properties held for sale, 5.3% consisted of properties subject to sales contract, 3.2% consisted of mortgage notes and interest receivables and 2.4% consisted of investments in partnerships and equity investees. The remaining 5.3% of TCI’s assets were invested in cash, cash equivalents, 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, 2006, 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, 2006, TCI held mortgage notes receivable secured by commercial properties in the Southwest and Southeast regions of the continental United States, as shown more specifically in the table under “Mortgage Loans” below.

At December 31, 2006, approximately 89.1% of TCI’s assets were invested in real estate. TCI invests primarily in real estate located throughout the continental United States, either on a leveraged or non-leveraged basis. TCI’s real estate portfolio consists of properties held for investment, investments in partnerships and properties held for sale.

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 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 also invests in unimproved land and 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 higher risk projects.

At December 31, 2006, TCI had the following properties under construction:

No properties were completed during 2006.

For the period ended December 31, 2005, TCI completed the 70 unit Blue Lake Villas II in Waxahachie, Texas, the 272 unit Bluffs at Vista Ridge in Lewisville, Texas, the 232 unit Bridges on Kinsey in Tyler, Texas, the 208 unit Dakota Arms in Lubbock, Texas, the 240 unit Lake Forest in Houston, Texas, the 220 unit Wildflower Villas in Temple, Texas, the 398 unit Kingsland Ranch Apartments in Houston, Texas, the 240 unit Stonebridge at City Park Apartments in Houston, Texas, and the 240 unit Vistas of Vance Jackson in San Antonio, Texas.

The Company’s three office buildings in downtown New Orleans suffered extensive damage from Hurricane Katrina. Management has worked with the Company’s insurance carriers to finalize all related claims. Repairs have nearly been completed for the Amoco and 1010 Common buildings. The building at 225 Baronne is

not open and few repairs have been completed. During 2006, TCI reduced the carrying value of 225 Baronne to $1.2 million, which approximated the value of the underlying land. TCI intends to redevelop 225 Baronne as an urban residential facility, which it considers the best and most profitable use of the property. In August 2006, to facilitate the marketability of the property, TCI acquired the Clarke Garage and 305 Baronne for approximately $14.0 million to provide additional parking and retail for the residential development.

At year end 2006, the Company had received approximately $49.2 million from its insurance carriers as reimbursement for both property damage as well as loss of rents. The Company has spent approximately $7.3 million to make necessary repairs to the New Orleans properties and has reserved approximately $7.2 million for additional repairs.

The Company is currently involved in litigation with certain parties including two parties who purchased properties from the Company but were still insured under the Company’s insurance policies and who suffered damage related to Hurricane Katrina. There is a dispute with these parties regarding the disbursement of additional insurance proceeds. At this time, there is no indication as to how this litigation will be resolved. Currently, the courts are holding approximately $50.8 million that is in dispute between the Company and the outside parties.

The following table sets forth the percentages, by property type and geographic region, of TCI’s real estate (other than three hotels in the Midwest region, one hotel in Poland and 88 parcels of unimproved land, as described below) at December 31, 2006.


Region	Apartments		Commercial Properties
Midwest	3	%	13	%
Mountain	—		2
Southwest	93		45
Southeast	4		40

	100	%	100	%

TCI owns 88 parcels of unimproved land; 5 parcels, for a total of 44.82 acres in the Southeast region, 75 parcels, for a total of 5,984.22 acres in the Southwest region, 7 parcels, for a total of 118.92 acres in the Midwest; and 109.18 acres in the U.S. Virgin Islands. See Schedule III to the Consolidated Financial Statements included at ITEM 8. “CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA” for a detailed description of TCI’s real estate portfolio.

Following is a brief description of the most significant property acquisitions and sales in 2006:

New Orleans Properties

In August 2006, TCI purchased the Clarke Garage at 913 Gravier in New Orleans, Louisiana for $9.0 million cash. The property is adjacent to and includes 305 Baronne. 305 Baronne contains approximately 37,000 square feet of retail space and is currently occupied by retail tenants. 225 Baronne consists of approximately 417,000 square feet of office space and was significantly damaged during hurricane Katrina in September 2005. During 2006, TCI reduced the carrying value of 225 Baronne to $1.2 million, which approximated the value of the underlying land. TCI intends to redevelop 225 Baronne into an urban residential facility, which it considers the best and most profitable use of the property. To facilitate the marketability of the property, TCI acquired the Clarke Garage and 305 Baronne to provide additional parking and retail for the residential development.

One Hickory

In October 2003, TCI sold the One Hickory office building in Farmers Branch, Texas to IORI for $12.2 million and financed $12.0 million of the purchase price with a note receivable bearing interest at 5.49 percent per annum, maturing in June 2006. The $12.2 million sales price approximated TCI’s initial cost of acquiring the property in 2002 from ARI. IORI immediately sold One Hickory together with 202 acres of undeveloped land to a partnership, the general partner of which was then an affiliate of ARI for a total sales price of $37.2 million. In May 2006, the partnership sold One Hickory back to TCI in satisfaction of the $12.0 million note payable by IORI.

Circle C

In March 2005, TCI entered into an agreement to advance a third party $3.2 million for development costs relating to single-family residential lots in Austin, Texas. These advances are secured by stock in the borrower and hold a second lien on the undeveloped land. The secured note bears interest at 10 percent, requires semi-annual payments, and matures in March 2008. In September 2005, the total amount authorized under this advance was increased to $5.0 million. As of March 31, 2006, TCI had advanced $3.2 million to the borrower. TCI also guaranteed an $18 million loan secured by a first lien on the undeveloped land. In September 2005, TCI purchased for $4.1 million a subsidiary of Tacco Universal, a related party that holds two notes receivable from the borrower for $3.0 and $1.0 million, respectively. These notes are secured by approximately 142 acres of undeveloped land and membership interest in the borrower. These secured notes accrue interest at 12 percent, have an interest reserve for payments that is added to the principal balance on a monthly basis, and matured in June 2005. Both loans were extended to September 2005 and upon maturity were paid under the advance referred to at the beginning of this paragraph. In March 2006, TCI acquired all of the interests in the borrower, including ownership of the Austin, Texas land. The land is secured by the $18 million first mortgage and a $3 million subordinated loan. In March 2006, TCI secured a development loan of $31.3 million (secured by the Austin, Texas land), of which $18 million was used to pay the existing first mortgage. As of December 31, 2006 the development loan balance was approximately $22.8 million. The development loan matures in March 2008 and bears interest at Prime plus one percent. The Company intends to develop the land for sale to single-family residential builders.

Ewing Land

In December 2006, TCI acquired 17.0 acres in North Dallas known as the Ewing Land, for $3.4 million and a note payable of $10.8 million. The land was acquired for future development and borders the cities of Addison and Farmers Branch. The loan matures in December 2009 and requires interest only payments of 5.5 percent until maturity.

Galleria East

In November 2006, TCI acquired approximately 15 acres located at the intersection of the Dallas North Tollway and IH-635 (LBJ Freeway) in Dallas, Texas for a purchase price of $25.2 million. Payment was in the form of $8.8 million cash and a note payable of the $18.4 million due in December 2007. Terms of the note required interest only payments at 6.0 percent until maturity. The property is currently occupied by an automobile dealership which pays TCI a monthly rental for the use of the property. TCI intends to hold the land for future development or resale.

LaDue/Walker

In August 2006, TCI acquired from ARI, 99 acres in Farmers Branch, Texas known as LaDue/Walker for $21.5 million. Payment was made by an increase in the affiliate payable to Prime of $11.2 million and assumption of a $9.5 million note payable. Terms of the note require principal and interest payments monthly at 10.25 percent until maturity in December 2008. TCI intends to hold the land for future development as part of the Mercer Crossing development.

Galleria West

In November 2006, TCI purchased two parcels of land in independent transactions totaling approximately 9.2 acres in North Dallas for a total of approximately $7.5 million. Payment was made in the form of notes payable in the amounts of $1.5 million and $5.2 million. The notes require interest payments at 6.0 percent through maturity in December 2007. TCI intends to hold the land for future development or resale.

Will-O-Wick

In May 2006, TCI sold the Will-O-Wick apartments in Pensacola, Florida, for $6.5 million. The sale resulted in a gain of $2.9 million and net cash received of $2.8 million after payment of outstanding mortgages and costs of sale.

McKinney Ranch

In June 2006, TCI sold, in two separate transactions, a total of 168.8 acres of the McKinney Ranch land in McKinney, Texas for $26.9 million. The sales resulted in total gains of $8.8 million and net cash of $16.0 million after paydown of $10.2 million in notes payable, closing and other costs of sale.

In 2006, TCI refinanced the following properties:

Partnership Properties. TCI is a 30% general partner in Sacramento Nine (“SAC 9”), which owned the Prospect Park #29 Office Building. In December 2004, SAC 9 sold the Prospect Park #29 office building for $3.7 million, of which TCI received $1.1 million after closing costs and fees. TCI recognized a gain from the sale of $882,000.

In December 2004, TCI sold to an unrelated investment group a 95% partnership interest in Garden Centura, L.P. (“Garden Centura”). Garden Centura is the owner of the 410,901 sq. ft. Centura Tower office building located in Farmers Branch, Texas. TCI retained a non-controlling 1% general partner interest and a 4% limited partner interest in Garden Centura, L.P. TCI accounts for its investment in this partnership on the equity method.

Provision for Asset Impairments. TCI recorded no asset impairments in 2006, $3.4 million in 2005, and $6.1 million for 2004, representing the write down of certain operating properties to current estimated fair value. The asset impairment for 2005 relates to the following properties:


Property	Location	Units/ Acres	Fair Value		Property Basis		Costs to Sell		Impairment
Apartments
Bay Walk/Island Bay	Galveston, TX	650 Units	$	25,000	$	25,598	$	982	$	1,580
Land
Centura	Farmers Branch, TX	8.8 Acres		12,025		13,865		—		1,840

The Bay Walk and Island Bay Apartments are under contract to sell together and the contractual sales price was used as fair value. The impairment losses for these properties are included in 2005 discontinued operations. Centura Land was appraised for its sale to IORI and the appraised value was used as the fair value. The costs to sell are estimated closing costs and commission to be paid by TCI.

The asset impairment for 2004 relates to the following properties:


Property	Location	Sq. Ft.	Fair Value		Property Basis		Costs to Sell		Impairment
Office Building
225 Baronne	New Orleans, LA	416,834 Sq. Ft.	$	8,500	$	10,220	$	—	$	1,720
Harmon	Sterling, VA	72,062 Sq. Ft.		6,500		9,080		320		2,900
Mimado	Sterling, VA	35,127 Sq. Ft.		4,000		5,367		210		1,577

The Harmon and Mimado buildings were sold and the contractual sales prices were used as fair value. The costs to sell were the estimated closing costs and commissions to be paid by TCI. The impairment losses for these properties are included in 2004 discontinued operations. It was determined that the fair value of 225 Baronne was less than the current book value due to the pending loss of a major tenant. The Company intends to redevelop 225 Baronne as a residential project.

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. 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. Premier Funding, LLC, a related party, services TCI’s mortgage notes. TCI’s investment policy is described in ITEM 1. “BUSINESS—Business Plan and Investment Policy.”

Types of Properties Securing Mortgage Notes. The properties securing TCI’s mortgage notes receivable portfolio at December 31, 2006, consisted of four office buildings, seven apartment properties, two parcels of unimproved land, two retail developments and various partnership and membership interests. Four mortgage notes receivable were unsecured at December 31, 2006. 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, as discussed in ITEM 13. “CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.”

At December 31, 2006, TCI’s mortgage notes receivable portfolio included 11 mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance of $22.9 million secured by income-producing real estate located in the Southeast and Southwest regions of the continental United States, two mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance of $3.5 million secured by unimproved land in the Southwest region of the continental United States, five loans with a principal balance of $6.3 million secured by partnership or membership interests and four unsecured loans with a principal balance of $9.7 million. At December 31, 2006, 3.2% 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, 2006. Excluded are $16.4 million of mortgage notes that are secured by unimproved land or other security, or are unsecured. See Schedule IV to the Consolidated Financial Statements included at ITEM 8. “CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA” for further details of TCI’s mortgage notes receivable portfolio.

During 2006, $20.8 million was collected in full payment of six mortgage notes and $2.1 million in principal payments were received on other mortgage notes. At December 31, 2006, less than one percent of TCI’s assets were invested in mortgage notes secured by non-income producing real estate.

First Mortgage Loans. TCI invests in first mortgage notes with short, medium and 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. TCI may grant participations in first mortgage loans it originates to other lenders.

The following discussion briefly describes first mortgage loans funded in 2006, as well as events during 2006 that affected previously funded first mortgage loans.

In March 2002, TCI sold the 174,513 Sq. Ft. Hartford Office Building in Dallas, Texas, for $4.0 million, providing $4.0 million in seller financing as well as an additional $1.4 million line of credit for leasehold improvements all in the form of a first lien mortgage note. The note bears interest at a variable interest rate, currently 8.0% per annum, requires monthly interest only payments and matures in March 2007. As of March 2006, TCI had funded $896,000 of the $1.4 million line of credit. TCI determined during the third quarter of 2005 that it would classify this note as non-performing due to the lack of debt payments received and the probability that no debt payments would be received in the future. In the fourth quarter of 2006, TCI and the borrower entered into an assumption and note modification agreement whereby the note receivable was modified to $3.6 million upon TCI’s receipt of approximately $500,000 from the original borrower. The original borrower subsequently transferred interest in the property to a new owner, which assumed the $3.6 million debt. The new note accrues interest at 8.25% for the first year, 9.25% thereafter, and matures October 30, 2008. As a result of the foregoing modification, TCI recorded a charge to earnings of $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.

In December 2005, TCI sold 27.192 acres and 3.73 acres of the McKinney Ranch land to a third party for $10.1 million and $1.4 million, and provided $7.6 million and $1.0 million of seller financing, respectively. Both notes bear interest at 8.0% per annum, require monthly interest only payments and mature in December 2008. In January 2006, TCI sold both notes to a financial institution for full face value less closing costs, plus accrued interest. The financial institution has a Put Option that would require TCI to purchase both notes back under the following conditions: (1) failure to construct agreed upon roads on the property by December 2006 (the road improvements have been substantially completed); (2) there occurs any event of default by the buyer; (3) certain escrow deposits for the road completion are not sufficient to cover the cost of the road construction; (4) any amendment, modification or assignment of certain development and escrow agreements between TCI and the buyer; and (5) failure of TCI to deliver certain documents to the financial institution within a timely manner. TCI and other related parties have also guaranteed the full payment of the note balances, including any outstanding interest and costs incurred by the financial institution.

Junior Mortgage Loans. TCI may invest in junior mortgage 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 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 10.0% of TCI’s assets. At December 31, 2006, 2.0% of TCI’s assets were invested in junior and wraparound mortgage loans.

The following discussion briefly describes the junior mortgage loans that TCI originated in 2006 as well as events that affected previously funded junior mortgage loans during 2006.

lien was subsequently seized by the first lien holder. In March 2004, TCI agreed to accept an assignment of claims in litigation as additional security for the note. TCI later agreed to a modification agreement with the borrower effective November 2003. As of the modified effective date, accrued interest of $582,000 was added to the principal balance of the note; the interest rate was fixed at nine percent per annum with all principal and interest due November 2005. TCI also received certain pledge and security agreements in various partnership interests belonging to the borrower and received various assignments of proceeds from asset sales in certain entities owned by the borrower. TCI reduced accrued interest and principal by $1.5 million from the receipt of notes receivable assigned to TCI by the borrower and by $605,000 from cash received. TCI also received $1.4 million in January 2005 that was applied to accrued interest and principal effective December 30, 2004. TCI received $1.8 million in September 2006 that was applied to accrued interest and principal. Through December 31, 2006, TCI has advanced an additional $3.0 million to the borrower. The following notes were assigned to TCI as payment on the note.

•

$678,000 from a partnership that owns an apartment building. This note is unsecured, bears no interest and has no maturity date. Distributions made from the partnership operations will be used to pay the principal on the note. TCI received $132,000 in distributions in 2005 and $27,000 in 2006.

•

$264,000, including accrued interest, secured by a second lien on 13 acres of unimproved land. This note bears interest at 9.0% and matured in February 2003. TCI’s parent company, ARI, has taken title to the collateral, giving TCI a first lien position on the collateral. This note is considered performing and no allowance has been established.

•

$466,000 secured by a second lien on 23.3 acres of unimproved land. This note bears interest at 4.0% and is payable upon demand.

•

$125,000 secured by a 100% interest in an affiliated company that owns an apartment building. This note bears interest at 12.0% and requires payments only if surplus cash is available and matures in April 2009.

In July 2002, TCI entered into an agreement with a third party developer to fund up to $300,000 under a revolving line of credit secured by 100% interest in a partnership of the borrower. The line of credit bears interest at 12.0% per annum, requires monthly interest only payments and matured in June 2005. This loan was extended to June 2006 in the second quarter of 2005 and was subsequently modified in the fourth quarter 2005. This second modification extends the loan maturity to October 2007 and limits any advances under the line of credit to $25,000 per month. As of December 31, 2006, the borrower had $153,000 of remaining available credit under the credit limit.

In October 2004, TCI sold the In The Pines apartments to a third party and provided $1.0 million of the purchase price as seller financing in the form of two notes. The first note accrued interest at 7.0% per annum, required monthly interest only payments and matured in January 2005. The Purchaser extended this note to March 2005 by paying 1.0% of the outstanding principal balance as an extension fee and then extended the note an additional 30 days to April 2005 by paying an extension fee of 0.5% of the outstanding principal balance. In the event of a default, the note is also secured by membership rights in the purchaser’s entity. The second note was unsecured, accrued interest at 8.5% per annum, required monthly interest only payments and matured in January 2005. The Purchaser extended this note to March 2005 by paying 1.0% of the outstanding principal balance as an extension fee and then extended the note an additional 30 days to April 2005 by paying an extension fee of 0.5% of the outstanding principal balance. Both loans were extended to October 2005 with the payment to TCI of a 2.0% extension fee. Both loans were paid in full, including unpaid interest, in October 2005.

purchased for $4.1 million a subsidiary of Tacco Universal, a related party that holds two notes receivable from the borrower for $3.0 and $1.0 million, respectively. These notes are secured by approximately 142 acres of undeveloped land and membership interest in the borrower. These secured notes bear interest at 12 percent, have an interest reserve for payments that is added to the principal balance on a monthly basis and matured in June 2005. Both loans were extended to September 2005 and upon maturity were paid under the advance referred to at the beginning of this paragraph. In March 2006, TCI acquired all of the interests in the borrower, including ownership of the Austin, Texas land. The land is secured by the $18 million first mortgage and a $3 million subordinated loan. In March 2006, TCI secured a development loan of $31.3 million (secured by the Austin, Texas land), of which $18 million was used to pay the existing first mortgage. The development loan matures in March 2008 and bears interest at Prime plus one percent. The Company intends to develop the land for sale to single-family residential builders.

Related Parties. In January 2002, TCI purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of ART Two Hickory Corporation (“Two Hickory”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARI, a related party, for $4.4 million. Two Hickory owns the 96,217 sq. ft. Two Hickory Centre Office Building in Farmers Branch, Texas. ARI guaranteed that the asset shall produce at least a 12.0% annual return of the purchase price for a period of three years from the purchase date. If the asset failed to produce the 12.0% annual return, ARI was obligated to pay TCI any shortfall. In addition, if the asset failed to produce the 12.0% return for any calendar year and ARI failed to pay the shortfall, TCI could have required ARI to repurchase the shares of Two Hickory for the original purchase price. Because ARI guaranteed the 12.0% return and TCI had the option of requiring ARI to repurchase the entities, and because ARI is a related party, management classified the consideration paid as a note receivable from ARI. In June 2002, Two Hickory was refinanced. TCI received $1.3 million of the proceeds as a principal reduction on its note receivable from ARI. In January 2005, the guaranty period ended and TCI completed the purchase of Two Hickory by recording the asset and the assumed debt, and removing the note receivable from ARI.

In April 2002, TCI purchased 100% of the following entities: ART One Hickory Corporation (“One Hickory”), Garden Confederate Point, LP (“Confederate Point”), Garden Foxwood, LP (“Foxwood”), and Garden Woodsong, LP (“Woodsong”), all wholly-owned subsidiaries of ARI, a related party, for $10.0 million. One Hickory owned the 120,615 sq. ft. One Hickory Centre Office Building in Farmers Branch, Texas. Confederate Point owned the 206 unit Confederate Apartments in Jacksonville, Florida. Foxwood owns the 220 unit Foxwood Apartments in Memphis, Tennessee. Woodsong owned the 190 unit Woodsong Apartments in Smyrna, Georgia. ARI guaranteed a minimum 12.0% return annually based on the purchase price for a period of three years from the purchase date. If the assets failed to produce the 12.0% return, ARI was required to pay TCI any shortfall. In addition, if the assets failed to produce the 12.0% return for a calendar year and ARI failed to pay the shortfall, TCI had the option of requiring ARI to repurchase the entities for the original purchase price. Because ARI guaranteed the 12.0% return and TCI had the option of requiring ARI to repurchase the entities, management classified the consideration paid as a note receivable from ARI. In July 2002, the Woodsong Apartments were sold. ARI received $2.8 million from the proceeds as payment of principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the note receivable. In October 2003, TCI sold One Hickory to IORI for $12.2 million, less prorations, for a wraparound promissory note of $12.0 million. This note bears interest at 5.49% interest, requires monthly interest and principal payments and matures in June 2006. This transaction effectively discharged the note receivable TCI had from ARI for the financing of One Hickory. Also, in November 2003, Confederate Point sold the Confederate Apartments and paid $2.1 million to TCI to pay off the loan and accrued but unpaid interest. In April 2005, the guaranty period ended and TCI completed the purchase of the Foxwood Apartments by recording the asset and removing the note receivable from ARI.

In December 2003, TCI purchased a note receivable secured by a second lien on 33 acres of raw land in Travis County, Texas known as “Pioneer Development”, at par value from ARI for $2.4 million as a paydown on an affiliate loan balance. The note bears interest at ten percent per annum, requires interest only payments beginning in November 2007 and matures in October 2008.

Other. In July 2003, TCI advanced $2.3 million to the Class A Limited Partners of TCI Countryside, L.P. of which TCI is the general partner. This loan bears interest at 7.25% and matures in January 2007. TCI also

agreed to advance $1.1 million to the Class A Limited Partners by advancing $105,000 in July 2003 and every year thereafter for ten years. This loan bears interest at 7.25% and matures in July 2012. Interest due to TCI will be deducted from the quarterly return owed by TCI to the Class A Limited Partners, eliminating the quarterly payments. In October 2005, TCI agreed to settle the remaining obligations under this loan by paying a lump sum of $425,000, making the total amount advanced $740,000. After January 2007, TCI may redeem the Class A Limited Partners interests in exchange for cancellation of both notes.

In March 2004, TCI sold the Texstar Warehouse in Arlington, Texas to BCM for $2.4 million, including the assumption of debt. TCI also provided $1.3 million of the purchase price as seller financing. The unsecured note bears interest at the prime rate plus 2%, which is currently 10.25%, and matured in April 2005. This note was extended to April 2008.

In March 2004, TCI sold a K-Mart in Cary, North Carolina to BCM for $3.2 million, including the assumption of debt. TCI also provided $1.5 million of the purchase price as seller financing. The unsecured note bears interest at the prime rate plus 2%, which is currently 10.25%, and matured in April 2005. This note was extended to April 2008.

In December 2004, TCI sold the Centura Tower office building to a partnership and retained a 1% non-controlling general partner interest and a 4% limited partner interest. TCI has certain obligations to fund the partnership for rent abatements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other cash shortfalls. $4.1 million of these obligations were escrowed by TCI with the lender at loan closing. Through December 31, 2006, TCI has funded $6.5 million of these obligations, with $6.5 million recorded in the form of a note receivable from the partnership. The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.0% per annum. The note will be paid out of excess cash flow or from sales proceeds, but only after certain partner preferred returns are paid.

At December 31, 2006, TCI owned 746,972 shares of ARI common stock which were primarily purchased in open market transactions in 1990 and 1991 at a total cost of $1.6 million. The executive officers of TCI also serve as executive officers of ARI. Prime also serves as advisor to ARI and at March 23, 2007, ARI owned approximately 82.2% of TCI’s outstanding Common Stock. At December 31, 2006, the market value of the ARI common shares owned by TCI was $6.0 million.

In November 2006, ARI purchased Windmill Farms, 3,035 acres in Kaufman County, Texas for $52.0 million. The purchase price was funded by $39.1 million debt and $10.0 million Preferred Stock of TCI. In connection with the purchase by ARI, TCI issued $10.0 million of Series D Preferred Stock to the sellers of the property. The transaction was recorded on the books of TCI as a reduction in the amount payable to affiliate of $10.0 million.

In August 2006, TCI purchased 99 acres in Farmers Branch, Texas known as the LaDue/Walker tract, from ARI for $21.5 million. The transaction was financed by assumption of $9.9 million note payable and an increase in the amount payable to affiliate of $11.2 million.

In May 2006, TCI acquired the 102,615 square feet One Hickory office building in Farmers Branch, Texas from IORI. The purchase price was paid by forgiveness of the $12.2 million note receivable from IORI.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Report, no proceeding previously reported was terminated.

Waters Edge. Shortly before the advent of Hurricane Katrina, an apartment complex in Mississippi was sold to Waters Edge Living, LLC but notwithstanding such sale, the property continued on insurance coverage applicable to Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (“TCI”) and others. As a result of sorting out various claims,

two items of litigation exist, Waters Edge Living, LLC v. RUSI Indemnity Co., et al, civil action No. 4:06-CV-00334-RH-WCS pending in the United States District Court for the Northern district of Florida and Prime Income Asset Management, Inc., et al v. Waters Edge Living, LLC, et al, civil action No. 3:07-CV-0102-D pending in the United States District Court for the Northern district of Texas. TCI is not a direct party in either case. In the Texas case, three subsidiaries of TCI are plaintiffs, Continental Baronne, Inc., Continental Common, Inc. and Continental Amoco, Inc. which own three New Orleans office buildings damaged by Hurricane Katrina. RUSI Indemnity Co. has paid approximately $50.0 million into a trust account held by Merrill Lynch under the supervision of the Florida Court. Of that amount, approximately $32.5 million is money paid on account of the Waters Edge Living, LLC claim and $17.5 million is money paid on the claims of Continental Baronne, Inc. and the other three New Orleans office buildings. Three TCI subsidiaries are intending to intervene in the near future in the Florida proceeding to attempt to obtain prompt return of the $17.5 million, although Prime Income Asset Management, Inc. (“PIAMI”) has pending an emergency motion for return of those funds (which has been pending since February 1, 2007). Of the $32.5 million allegedly allocable to Waters Edge Living, LLC, PIAMI et al are entitled to a refund, at a minimum, of approximately $6.0 million (consisting of $1.9 million previously advanced from PIAMI against the payment of the claim and $4.0 million for flood insurance proceeds, which should be credited against the $32.5 million) and potentially more, depending upon the amount by which the total claims exceed a $100.0 million cap under the applicable policies. While this case is a plaintiff’s case from the perspective of the TCI subsidiaries, funds belonging to the TCI subsidiaries are being withheld from those subsidiaries aggregating at least $17.5 million. There is no significant prospect from these cases that TCI will have to pay any additional funds to Waters Edge Living, LLC.

The ownership of property and provision of services to the public as tenants entails an inherent risk of liability. Although the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various items of litigation incidental to and in the ordinary course of its business, in the opinion of Management, the outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

This Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, principally, but not only, under the captions “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We caution investors that any forward-looking statements in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and on assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions which do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We caution you that, while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

•

general risks affecting the real estate industry (including, without limitation, the inability to enter into or renew leases, dependence on tenants’ financial condition, and competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate);

•

risks associated with the availability and terms of financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments;

•

failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets or to integrate acquisitions successfully;

•

risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including, without limitation, construction delays, cost overruns, inability to obtain necessary permits and public opposition to such activities);

•

risks associated with downturns in the national and local economies, increases in interest rates, and volatility in the securities markets;

•

costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other similar laws and regulations;

•

potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination;

•

risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed; and

•

the other risk factors identified in this Form 10-K, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors.”

The risks included here are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report, including “Part I, Item I—Business—Risk Factors,” include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess

the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Investors should also refer to our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for future periods and current reports on Form 8-K as we file them with the SEC, and to other materials we may furnish to the public from time to time through Forms 8-K or otherwise.

Overview

TCI is an externally advised and managed real estate investment company that owns a diverse portfolio of income-producing properties and land held for development. The Company’s portfolio of income-producing properties includes residential apartment communities, office buildings, hotels and other commercial properties. TCI’s investment strategy includes acquiring existing income-producing properties as well as developing new properties on land already owned or acquired for a specific development project. TCI acquires land primarily in in-fill locations or high-growth suburban markets. TCI is an active buyer and seller and during 2006 acquired over $169 million and sold over $53 million of land and income-producing properties. As of December 31, 2006, the Company owned approximately 12,400 units in 65 residential apartment communities, 25 commercial properties comprising almost 3.9 million rentable square feet and four hotels containing a total of 313 rooms. In addition, at December 31, 2006, TCI owned over 6,200 acres of land held for development and had over 2,500 apartment units in 14 projects under construction. The Company currently owns income-producing properties and land in 15 states as well as in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Wroclaw, Poland. TCI finances its acquisitions primarily through operating cash flow, proceeds from the sale of land and income-producing properties and debt financing primarily in the form of property-specific first-lien mortgage loans from commercial banks and institutional lenders. TCI finances it development projects principally with short-term, variable interest rate construction loans that are converted to long-term, fixed rate amortizing mortgages when the development project is completed and occupancy has been stabilized. The Company will, from time to time, also enter into partnerships with various investors to acquire income-producing properties or land and to sell interests in certain of its wholly-owned properties. When the Company sells assets, it may carry a portion of the sales price generally in the form of a short-term, interest bearing seller-financed note receivable. The Company generates operating revenues primarily by leasing apartment units to residents; leasing office, retail and industrial space to commercial tenants; and renting hotel rooms to guests. TCI is advised by Prime under a contractual arrangement that is reviewed annually by TCI’s Board of Directors. TCI’s commercial properties are managed by Regis Commercial while the Company’s hotels are managed by Regis Hotel. TCI currently contracts with five third-party companies to manage the Company’s apartment communities. Approximately 82% of TCI’s common stock is owned by ARI. TCI is a “C Corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and files an annual consolidated income tax return with ARI. TCI does not qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes primarily due to ARI’s majority ownership of the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. From time to time, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Real Estate

Upon acquisitions of real estate, TCI assesses the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets, including land, buildings, tenant improvements, “above-” and “below-market” leases, origination costs, acquired in-place leases, other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and allocates the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including land at appraised value and buildings at replacement cost.

We assess and consider fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates, as well as available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. We also consider an allocation of purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquired in-place leases that may have a customer relationship intangible value, including (but not limited to) the nature and extent of the existing relationship with the tenants, the tenants’ credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. Based on our acquisitions to date, our allocation to customer relationship intangible assets has been immaterial.

We record acquired “above-” and “below-market” leases at their fair values (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) equal to the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (2) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors to be considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, we consider leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.

Real estate is stated at depreciated cost. The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to the development of properties are capitalized. Capitalized development costs include interest, property taxes, insurance, and other project costs incurred during the period of development.

Management reviews its long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impairment in value. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of its assets is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. If such impairment is present, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. If we determine that impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their face value.

SFAS No. 144 requires that qualifying assets and liabilities and the results of operations that have been sold, or otherwise qualify as “held for sale,” be presented as discontinued operations in all periods presented if the property operations are expected to be eliminated and the Company will not have significant continuing involvement following the sale. The components of the property’s net income that is reflected as discontinued operations include the net gain (or loss) upon the disposition of the property held for sale, operating results, depreciation and interest expense (if the property is subject to a secured loan). We generally consider assets to be “held for sale” when the transaction has been approved by our Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, and there are no known significant contingencies relating to the sale, such that the property sale within one year is considered probable. Following the classification of a property as “held for sale,” no further depreciation is recorded on the assets.

A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. Our capitalization policy on development properties is guided by SFAS No. 34 “Capitalization of Interest Cost” and SFAS No. 67 “Accounting for Costs and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Properties.” The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We cease capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

Except for ownership interests in variable interest entities, TCI accounts for our investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures under the equity method of accounting because the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control, these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. Any difference between the carrying amount of these investments on the Company’s balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized as an adjustment to equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate ventures over the life of the related asset. Under the equity method of accounting, TCI’s net equity is reflected within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and our share of net income or loss from the joint ventures is included within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The joint venture agreements may designate different percentage allocations among investors for profits and losses, however, TCI’s recognition of joint venture income or loss generally follows the joint venture’s distribution priorities, which may change upon the achievement of certain investment return thresholds. For ownership interests in variable interest entities, the Company consolidates those in which we are the primary beneficiary.

Recognition of Rental Income

Rental income for commercial property leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. In accordance with SFAS 141, we recognize rental revenue of acquired in-place “above-”and “below-market” leases at their fair values over the terms of the respective leases. On our Consolidated Balance Sheets we include as a receivable the excess of rental income recognized over rental payments actually received pursuant to the terms of the individual commercial lease agreements.

Reimbursements of operating costs, as allowed under most of our commercial tenant leases, consist of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs, and are recognized as revenue in the period in which the recoverable expenses are incurred. We record these reimbursements on a “gross” basis, since we generally are the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, have discretion in selecting the supplier and have the credit risk with respect to paying the supplier.

Rental income for residential property leases is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as earned, which is not materially different than on a straight-line basis as lease terms are generally for periods of one year or less.

For hotel properties, revenues for room sales and guest services are recognized as rooms are occupied and services are rendered.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for all past due rents and operating expense reimbursements considered to be uncollectible.

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”), as amended by SFAS No. 144. Until the requirements of SFAS No. 66 for full profit recognition have been met, transactions are accounted for using the deposit, installment, cost recovery or financing method, whichever is appropriate. When TCI provides seller financing, gain is not recognized at the time of sale unless the buyer’s initial investment and continuing investment are deemed to be adequate as determined by SFAS 66 guidelines.

Non-performing Notes Receivable

TCI considers a note receivable to be non-performing when the maturity date has passed without principal repayment and the borrower is not making interest payments. Any new note receivable that results from a modification or extension of a note considered non-performing will also be considered non-performing, without regard to the borrower’s adherence to payment terms.

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of TCI’s 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 non-performing notes receivable, the estimated fair value of TCI’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.

Results of Operations

2006 Compared to 2005. TCI had net income of $3.5 million in 2006, including gains on land sales totaling $11.4 million and net income from discontinued operations of $1.6 million, compared to $9.1 million of net income in 2005, including gains on land sales of $7.7 million and income from discontinued operations of $25.8 million. TCI defines its same-store universe for each income-producing asset type (apartments, commercial properties and hotels) as properties with stabilized occupancy owned and operated for the entire two-year period beginning January 1, 2005 and ending December 31, 2006. For this time period, TCI had 39 apartment communities, 16 commercial properties and four hotels in its same-store universe.

Rents and other property revenues were $128.1 million in 2006 compared to $103.1 million in 2005, an increase of $25.0 million or 24.2 percent. The overall increase is due to a $10.9 million increase in rental revenues from the Company’s apartment communities, a $11.5 million increase in rental and other property revenues from the Company’s commercial portfolio, a $2.1 million increase in hotel revenues and a $500,000 increase in rents and royalty income related to the Company’s land portfolio. Within the apartment communities

portfolio, $3.4 million of the increase from 2005 to 2006 is due to better performance in TCI’s same store apartment universe (a 6.5 percent increase from 2005 to 2006); $2.0 million is due to acquisitions; and $5.5 million is due to developed projects placed in service during 2005 and 2006. The improvement in rents and other property revenues within TCI’s commercial portfolio was principally comprised of an increase of $12.2 million due to acquisitions of commercial properties in 2005 and 2006 (including TCI’s August 2005 acquisition of 600 Las Colinas Boulevard which represented almost $6.8 million of the $12.2 million increase), offset by a decline in same-store rental revenues of 4.7 million. TCI’s commercial properties in New Orleans, which suffered extensive damage in 2005 from Hurricane Katrina, are included in the same-store universe. TCI’s same-store hotels increased revenues by 22.2 percent or $2.1 million in 2006 compared to 2005, due to both occupancy gains and increases in average room rates. TCI acquired no hotels in 2005 or 2006 and sold one hotel in 2005.

Property operations expenses increased 25.6 percent or $16.1 million from $62.9 million in 2005 to $79.0 million in 2006. The overall increase is due to a $6.2 million increase in operating expenses from the Company’s apartment communities, an $8.5 million increase in operating expenses from the Company’s commercial portfolio, a $1.2 million increase in hotel operating expenses and a $200,000 increase in operating expenses (principally real estate taxes) related to the Company’s land portfolio. Within the apartment communities portfolio, $1.9 million of the increase from 2005 to 2006 is due to TCI’s same store apartment universe (a 6.3 percent increase from 2005 to 2006); $1.0 million is due to acquisitions of existing apartment communities; and $3.3 million is due to developed projects placed in service during 2005 and 2006. The increase in operating expenses within TCI’s commercial portfolio was due to an increase in same-store operating expenses of 20.0 percent or $2.4 million from 2005 to 2006 (primarily because TCI’s New Orleans office buildings which were damaged by Hurricane Katrina, were closed during the last 4 months of 2005 for repairs); $6.1 million of the increase was due to acquisitions of commercial properties in 2005 and 2006 (including TCI’s August 2005 acquisition of 600 Las Colinas Boulevard which represented $4.0 million of the $6.1 million increase). Operating expenses for TCI’s same-store hotels increased by 22.7 percent or $1.2 million in 2006 compared to 2005.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $5.6 million, to $21.6 million in 2006 from $16.0 million in 2005. Depreciation on TCI’s apartment portfolio increased $2.5 million while depreciation expense for the commercial and hotel portfolios increased $2.7 million and $400,000 respectively. Depreciation expense for the apartment portfolio increased due to 2005 and 2006 acquisitions ($800,000), developed projects placed in service during 2005 and 2006 ($1.6 million) and additions to depreciable assets in the same-store universe ($100,000). Depreciation expense for the commercial portfolio increased due to 2005 and 2006 acquisitions ($1.8 million, of which $1.0 million related to the August 2005 acquisition of 600 Las Colinas Boulevard) and to 2005 revisions to depreciable lives for certain commercial properties ($900,000). Depreciation expense for the hotel portfolio increased $400,000, due principally to additions to depreciable assets at the Company’s hotel in Wroclaw, Poland.

General and administrative expenses were $4.0 million in 2006 compared to $8.3 million in 2005. The decrease in 2006 was due to lower legal and professional fees and reduced state income tax expense, offset by higher cost reimbursements paid to the Advisor.

Advisory fee expense was $8.6 million in 2006 compared to $4.7 million in 2005. The increase from 2005 was due to higher gross assets in 2006 and a 2005 refund of 2004 Advisor cost reimbursements received from Prime. TCI’s advisory agreement with Prime limits the amount of cost reimbursements payable by TCI to Prime. See NOTE 12. “ADVISORY AGREEMENT.”

Interest income declined $1.0 million from $3.7 million in 2005 to $2.7 million in 2006 due principally to lower average notes receivable balances and lower average cash balances.

Interest expense increased $12.7 million to $51.8 million in 2006 from $39.1 million in 2005. The overall increase in interest expense is due to a $2.9 million increase within the apartment portfolio, a $3.6 million increase in the commercial portfolio, a $5.8 million increase in the land portfolio and a $400,000 increase in the

hotel portfolio. Within the apartment portfolio, $600,000 of the increase is due to additional debt incurred as a result of 2005 and 2006 acquisitions while $2.3 million is due to increased debt related to developed projects placed in service in 2005 and 2006. The increase in interest expense for the commercial portfolio is due to a $400,000 increase for the same-store universe (primarily due to rising variable interest rates) and $3.1 million for 2005 and 2006 acquisitions (of which $1.7 million relates to the August 2005 acquisition of 600 Las Colinas Boulevard). Interest expense within the land portfolio increased due to rising variable interest rates, increased debt from refinancing existing land parcels and additional debt incurred to finance 2005 and 2006 land acquisitions. Interest expense for the hotel portfolio increased primarily due to rising variable interest rates.

TCI recorded no asset impairment charges in 2006. In 2005 the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $1.8 million related to the write-down of a certain land tract to its current estimated fair value, as described further in the table below.

The Centura Land was appraised for its sale to IORI and the appraised value was determined to be the fair value. The costs to sell are estimated closing costs and commissions paid by TCI.

The 2006 gain on involuntary conversion of $20.5 million relates to damage sustained at the Company’s New Orleans commercial properties from Hurricane Katrina during 2005, principally the Company’s 225 Baronne office building. 225 Baronne property was closed immediately after the storm and the Company intends to redevelop 225 Baronne as a residential property. TCI’s 1010 Common and Amoco buildings suffered hurricane damage as well but have been repaired and have reopened. 1010 Common is presently 77% occupied and Amoco is 89% occupied. In 2005 the Company received $4.2 million in business interruption insurance proceeds which was included in 2005 rental revenues. TCI received approximately $45 million of insurance proceeds in 2006, of which $4.0 million related to business interruption claims and has been included in 2006 rental revenues.

Gain on land sales increased $3.7 million, to $11.4 million in 2006 from $7.7 million in 2005. During 2006 TCI sold 192.6 acres of land in seven separate transactions at an average sales price of $196,000 per acre. The largest land sales in 2006 were the sale of a) 123.9 acres in McKinney, Texas for $134,000 per acre, generating cash proceeds of $6.0 million and a recognized gain of $3.5 million and b) 44.5 acres in McKinney, Texas for $231,000 per acre, generating cash proceeds of $10.0 million and a recognized gain of $5.3 million. In 2005, the Company sold 66.7 acres of land in nine separate transactions at an average sales price of $428,000 per acre.

Net income tax benefit for 2006 was $3.8 million, compared to net income tax expense of $424,000 for 2005. The income tax benefit for 2006 and expense for 2005 was calculated under a Tax Sharing and Compensating Agreement between TCI and ARI, whereby TCI and ARI are eligible to file a consolidated federal tax return. In 2006, ARI had net taxable income and TCI had net taxable losses, thus in accordance with the sharing agreement, TCI recorded a Federal tax benefit in the amount of $3.8 million for 2006.

Income from discontinued operations was $2.4 million in 2006 compared to $27.0 million in 2005. Included for 2006 are four apartment communities sold during 2006 and four apartment communities designated as held for sale or subject to a sales contract (and subsequently sold by TCI in 2007). Included for 2005 are nine properties (two apartment communities, six commercial properties and one hotel) sold during 2005 and five

apartment communities designated as held for sale or subject to a sales contract (two of which were subsequently sold in 2006). The following table summarizes revenue and expense information for these properties.

The $1.6 million 2005 write-down of assets held for sale relates to impairment losses recorded for the Bay Walk and Island Bay apartments. The contract sales price was deemed to be gain value.

The 2005 $1.7 equity in investee’s gain on sale of real estate relates primarily to TCI’s portion of gain on income-producing properties sold by ARI and IORI.

In 2006 and 2005, TCI recognized gains on sale of real estate totaling $5.7 million and $31.5 million respectively. In 2006, TCI sold four apartment communities comprising 545 units for an average price of $28,000 per unit, generating net cash proceeds of $4.6 million. The four properties were located in Florida, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. In 2005, TCI sold two apartment communities (both located in Texas) at an average sales price of $43,000 per unit; six commercial properties at an average sales price of $93 per square foot and one hotel located in San Francisco, CA at a price per room of $139,000. See NOTE 2. “REAL ESTATE.”

2005 Compared to 2004. TCI had net income of $9.1 million in 2005, including gains on land sales totaling $7.7 million and net income from discontinued operations of $25.8 million, compared to $23.7 million of net income in 2004, including gains on land sales of $7.1 million and income from discontinued operations of $35.3 million. TCI defines its same-store universe for each income-producing asset type (apartments, commercial properties and hotels) as properties with stabilized occupancy owned and operated for the entire two-year period beginning January 1, 2004 and ending December 31, 2005. For this time period, TCI had 36 apartment communities, 16 commercial properties and one hotel in its same-store universe.

Rents and other property revenues were $103.1 million in 2005 compared to $83.6 million in 2004, an increase of $19.5 million or 23.3 percent. The overall increase is due to a $14.2 million increase in rental revenues from the Company’s apartment communities, a $3.4 million increase in rental and other property revenues from the Company’s commercial portfolio and a $1.9 million increase in hotel revenues. Within the apartment communities’ portfolio, $1.8 million of the increase from 2004 to 2005 is due to better performance in TCI’s same store apartment universe (a 4.1 percent increase from 2004 to 2005); $1.3 million is due to acquisitions; and $8.8 million is due to developed projects placed in service during 2004 and 2005. The improvement in rents and other property revenues within TCI’s commercial portfolio was principally comprised of an increase of $4.1 million due to acquisitions of commercial properties in 2004 and 2005 (including TCI’s August 2005 acquisition of 600 Las Colinas Boulevard which represented almost $4.0 million of the $4.1 million

increase). The increase in rental revenues for the commercial properties portfolio due to acquisitions was partially offset by a decline in same-store rental revenues of $700,000, which was primarily due to lower rental revenues in the Company’s New Orleans office buildings due to Hurricane Katrina. TCI’s same-store hotels increased revenues by 25.3 percent or $1.9 million in 2005 compared to 2004, due to both occupancy gains and increases in average room rates. TCI acquired no hotels in 2004 or 2005 and sold one hotel in 2005.

Property operations expenses increased $9.7 million from $53.2 million in 2004 to $62.9 million in 2005. The overall increase is due to a $7.5 million increase in operating expenses from the Company’s apartment communities, a $100,000 increase in operating expenses from the Company’s commercial portfolio, a $1.0 million increase in hotel operating expenses and a $1.1 million increase in operating expenses (principally real estate taxes) related to the Company’s land portfolio. Within the apartment community’s portfolio, $1.6 million of the increase from 2004 to 2005 is due to TCI’s same store apartment universe; $1.4 million is due to acquisitions of existing apartment communities; and $4.5 million is due to developed projects placed in service during 2004 and 2005. Operating expenses within TCI’s commercial portfolio increased $1.7 million due principally to TCI’s August 2005 acquisition of 600 Las Colinas Boulevard; the $1.7 million increase was offset by a $1.6 million decline in same-store operating expenses which was due primarily to the Company’s New Orleans office buildings being closed for a period of time after Hurricane Katrina. Operating expenses for TCI’s same-store hotels increased by $1.0 million in 2005 compared to 2004.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $700,000, to $16.0 million in 2005 from $16.7 million in 2004. Depreciation on TCI’s apartment portfolio increased $1.5 million while depreciation expense for the commercial and hotel portfolios declined $1.4 million and $800,000 respectively. Depreciation expense for the apartment portfolio increased due to developed projects placed in service during 2004 and 2005 ($800,000) and additions to depreciable assets in the same-store universe ($700,000). Depreciation expense for the commercial portfolio increased $500,000 due to the August 2005 acquisition of 600 Las Colinas Boulevard); however, this increase was offset by a decline in depreciation for the same-store universe of $1.9 million ($600,000 due to certain tenant improvements being fully depreciated in 2004 and $1.3 million due to 2005 revisions to depreciable lives for certain commercial properties). Depreciation expense for the hotel portfolio decreased $800,000, due principally to certain building improvements being fully depreciated in 2004.

General and administrative expenses were $8.3 million in 2005 compared to $9.3 million in 2004. The decrease in 2005 was due to a reduction in legal fees and state income taxes, offset by higher professional fees, cost reimbursements to the advisor, and expensed pursuit costs for abandoned projects.

Advisory fee expense was $4.7 million in 2005 compared to $6.7 million in 2004. The decrease in 2005 was due to TCI receiving a 2004 operating expense refund from Prime of $2.4 million in 2005. See NOTE 12. “ADVISORY AGREEMENT.”

Interest income of $3.7 million in 2005 was unchanged from 2004.

Gain on foreign currency transaction was $292,000 in 2005 compared to $3.8 million in 2004. Gain or loss on foreign currency transaction is the result of Hotel Akademia converting long-term debt, which is denominated in Euros, into the functional currency, the Polish Zloty. The Euro weakened against the Zloty in 2005 and 2004, which resulted in TCI recognizing these gains.

Interest expense increased $8.7 million to $39.2 million in 2005 from $30.5 million in 2004. The overall increase in interest expense is due to a $6.6 million increase within the apartment portfolio, a $1.3 million increase in the commercial portfolio and a $1.3 million increase in the land portfolio, partially offset by a $500,000 decrease in the hotel portfolio due to certain refinancing costs for three hotels included in 2004 interest expense. Within the apartment portfolio, $300,000 of the increase is due to additional debt incurred as a result of 2005 and 2006 acquisitions while $5.1 million is due to increased debt related to developed projects placed in

service in 2005 and 2006; the remaining $1.2 million is due to increases in the same-store universe resulting primarily from rising variable interest rates. The increase in interest expense for the commercial portfolio is due to a $500,000 increase for the same-store universe (primarily due to rising variable interest rates) and $800,000 related to the August 2005 acquisition of 600 Las Colinas Boulevard. Interest expense within the land portfolio increased due to rising variable interest rates, increased debt from refinancing existing land parcels and additional debt incurred to finance 2004 and 2005 land acquisitions.

TCI recorded asset impairments of $1.8 million in 2005 and $1.7 million in 2004, representing the write-down of certain operating properties to current estimated fair value.


Property	Location	Units/ Acres	Fair Value		Property Basis		Costs to Sell		Impairment
Land
Centura	Farmers Branch, TX	8.753 Acres	$	12,025	$	13,865	$	—	$	1,840

The Centura Land was appraised for its sale to IORI and the appraised value was used as the fair value. The costs to sell are estimated closing costs and commissions paid by TCI.

The assets for 2004 include the following properties:


Property	Location	Sq. Feet/ Acres	Fair Value		Property Basis		Costs to Sell		Impairment
Office Building
225 Baronne	New Orleans, LA	416, 834 Sq. Ft.	$	8,500	$	10,220	$	—	$	1,720

Management concluded that a write-down was appropriate due to the fair value of 225 Baronne being less than the current book value due to the pending loss of the anchor tenant, future leases on the vacated space being below market rates and the projected future cash flows of 225 Baronne insufficient to recover the carrying value.

TCI recorded a reduction to loss provisions of $1.5 million in 2004, representing the removal of the allowance on TCI’s note receivables. All of TCI’s note receivables are performing or are secured by collateral that is equal to or greater than the note balance.

Net income fee to affiliate was $522,000 in 2005 compared to $1.9 million in 2004. The net income fee is payable to TCI’s advisor (Prime) based on 7.5% of TCI’s net income, after certain adjustments. TCI had higher net income, after adjustments, in 2004 as compared to 2005, therefore the net income fee was higher.

Other income (expense) was $370,000 in 2005 compared to $555,000 in 2004. Other income in 2004 was higher due to TCI receiving a higher amount of dividend income from its holdings in Realty Korea CR-REIT Co., Ltd. No. 1.

Gain on land sales was $7.7 million in 2005 compared to $7.1 million in 2004. In 2005, the Company sold 66.7 acres of land in nine separate transactions at an average sales price of $428,000 per acre. In 2004, TCI recognized gains on the sale of 517 acres in two separate transactions at an average sales price of $44,000 per acre, including one sale of 492 acres in Allen, Texas for a sales price equal to $41,000 per acre.

Equity in earnings of investees was $968,000 in 2005 compared to equity in loss of investees of $1.5 million in 2004. IORI and ARI both recognized income from continuing operations for 2005, as compared to a loss for ARI from continuing operations in 2004.

Net income tax expense for 2005 was $424,000, compared to $12.5 million for 2004. The income tax expense for 2005 and 2004 was calculated under a Tax Sharing and Compensating Agreement between TCI and ARI, whereby TCI and ARI are eligible to file a consolidated federal tax return. In 2004, ARI had net taxable losses

and TCI had net taxable income, thus in accordance with the sharing agreement, TCI recorded Federal tax expense in the amount of $12.5 million for 2004.

Income from discontinued operations was $27.0 million in 2005 compared to $58.8 million in 2004. Income from discontinued operations relates to 9 operating properties sold during 2005, five apartments designated as held for sale and 22 operating properties TCI sold during 2004. The following table summarizes revenue and expense information for these properties sold and held-for-sale.

In 2005 and 2004, gains on sale of real estate totaling $31.5 million and $63.3 million were recognized. In 2005, TCI sold two apartment communities (both located in Texas) at an average sales price of $43,000 per unit; six commercial properties at an average sales price of $93 per square foot and one hotel located in San Francisco at a price per room of $139,000. In 2004 recognized gains on the sale of two apartment communities at an average sales price of $42,000 per unit and 14 commercial properties at an average sales price of $121 per square foot (including the December 2004 sale of Centura Tower in Dallas, Texas). See NOTE 2. “REAL ESTATE.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $4.8 million, $5.5 million and $21.8 million at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The principal reasons for the change in cash are discussed in the paragraphs below.

TCI’s principal sources of cash have been and will continue to be property operations, proceeds from land and income-producing property sales, the collection of mortgage notes receivable, receivables from affiliated companies, refinancing of existing mortgage notes payable and additional borrowings, including mortgage notes payable, lines of credit and to a lesser extent, distributions from partnerships. TCI may also issue additional equity securities, including common stock and preferred stock. Management anticipates that TCI’s cash at December 31, 2006, along with cash that will be generated in 2007 from property operations, may not be sufficient to meet all of TCI’s cash requirements. Management intends to selectively sell land and income producing assets, refinance or extend real estate debt and seek additional borrowings secured by real estate to meet its liquidity requirements. Historically, management has been successful at extending a portion of the Company’s current maturity obligations. Management also anticipates funding ongoing real estate development projects and the acquisition of new real estate from cash generated by sales of land and income-producing properties, debt refinancings or extensions, and additional borrowings.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.5 million in 2006, compared to $19.9 million in 2005 and $(2.0 million) in 2004. Cash flow from property operations is largely comprised of rental income less operating

expenses, or net operating income (sometimes referred to as “NOI”). Net cash provided by operating activities declined $14.4 million in 2006 compared to 2005 due primarily to the 2006 payment of certain expenses accrued in 2005 of $33.3 million, increased interest expense of $12.7 million, offset by the receipt of Hurricane Katrina-related insurance proceeds (net of repairs) of $20.5 million and other net sources of operating cash (principally improved NOI) of $2.6 million. Net cash provided by operating activities increased $21.9 million in 2005 compared to 2004 due to improved NOI of $9.8 million, the payment deferral of certain 2004 expenses until 2005 ($18.3 million) and other net sources of operating cash of $2.5 million, offset by increased interest expense of $8.7 million.

Management expects that TCI’s existing cash balances, selective sales of land and income-producing properties, refinancing of and additional borrowings against the Company’s real estate holdings will be sufficient to meet TCI’s cash requirements associated with its current and anticipated level of operations, maturing debt obligations and existing commitments. To the extent that TCI’s liquidity permits or financing sources are available, and the investments are otherwise deemed to be profitable, management intends to make additional investments in real estate or real estate-related projects.

Net cash used in investing activities was $146.8 million in 2006 compared to $219.2 million in 2005 and $95.4 million in 2004. Cash used in investing activities decreased $72.4 million in 2006 compared to 2005 due principally to reduced investments in real estate ($34.8 million), higher proceeds from sales of real estate ($24.3 million) and increased net collections of notes receivable ($12.6 million), offset by increased advisory payments of $5.8 million and other net uses of $600,000. Cash used in investing activities increased $123.8 million in 2005 compared to 2004 due primarily to increased investments in real estate ($22.8 million), lower proceeds from real estate sales ($122.5 million), increased investment in seller financing ($11.0 million) and increased distributions to equity investees of $5.4 million, offset by lower payments to the advisor of $42.9 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $137.2 million in 2006 compared to $115.4 million in 2005 and $47.6 million in 2004. Cash provided by financing activities increased $21.8 million in 2006 compared to 2005, due primarily to increased proceeds from additional borrowings of $34.4 million (net of deferred financing costs), offset by higher debt service and loan maturities and other principal payments of $19.3 million. Cash provided by financing activities increased $67.8 million in 2005 compared to 2004, principally due to reduced loan maturities and other principal payments of $196.2 million and no common stock repurchases in 2005 ($3.1 million), offset by fewer proceeds from additional borrowings of $131.5 million (net of deferred financing costs).

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 note receivable review includes an evaluation of the collateral property securing such 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.

Obligations and Commitments

TCI has contractual obligations and commitments primarily with regards to the payment of mortgages.

The following table aggregates TCI’s expected contractual obligations and commitments subsequent to December 31, 2006.

(1)

TCI’s long-term debt may contain financial covenants that, if certain thresholds are not met, could allow the lender to accelerate principal payments or cause the note to become due immediately.

Other long-term liabilities represent TCI’s intentions to purchase the interests of general and limited partners formed to construct residential properties.

Related Party Transactions

Historically, TCI, ARI, IORI, and others have each engaged in and may continue to engage in business transactions, including real estate partnerships, with related parties. Management believes that all of the related party transactions represented the best investments available at the time and were at least as advantageous to TCI as could have been obtained from unrelated parties.

Operating Relationships

TCI received rents of $846,000 in 2006, $56,000 in 2005 and $69,000 in 2004 from Prime and its affiliates for rents of TCI owned properties, including One Hickory, Two Hickory and Addison Hanger.

Property Transactions

Activity in 2006 included:

Activity in 2005 included:

In June 2005, TCI purchased a subsidiary of a related party for $4.1 million, decreasing the affiliate receivable by $4.1 million.

In August 2005, TCI sold 8.753 acres to an affiliate for $6.7 million. For a period of one year following closing and 90 days thereafter, the buyer has the right to convey the land to TCI for the original sales price, plus a 12% preferred return per annum accruing from the closing date. This transaction has been treated as a financing by TCI, with a note payable of $6.7 million recorded.

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.

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.

Newly Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS No. 155”). The purpose of SFAS No. 155 is to simplify the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 155 to have a material impact on our cash flows, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS No. 156”). SFAS No. 156 requires recognition of a servicing asset or a servicing liability each time an entity undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. SFAS No. 156 also requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 156 to have a material impact on our cash flows, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on description, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of FIN No. 48 to have a material impact on our cash flows, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

income statement—including the reversing effect of prior year misstatements—but its use can lead to the accumulation of misstatements in the balance sheet. The iron-curtain method focuses primarily on the effect of correcting the period-end balance sheet with less emphasis on the reversing effects of prior year errors on the income statement. SAB 108 was effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our cash flows, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The new FASB rule defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of SFAS No. 157.

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 and the cost of variable interest rate debt will be affected.

Tax Matters

Prior to the year 2000, TCI elected and in the opinion of management, qualified to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) as defined under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. During the third quarter of 2000, due primarily to a concentration in ownership, TCI no longer met the requirements for tax treatment as a REIT.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE

AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES REGARDING MARKET RISK

TCI’s primary market risk exposure consists of changes in interest rates on borrowings under our debt instruments that bear interest at variable rates that fluctuate with market interest rates and maturing debt that has to be refinanced. TCI’s future operations, cash flow and fair values of financial instruments are also partially dependent on the then existing market interest rates and market equity prices.

As of December 31, 2006, our $897.3 million debt portfolio consisted of approximately $643.2 million, or 72%, of fixed-rate debt, with interest rates ranging from 5.06% to 12.0% and approximately $254.1 million, or 28%, of variable-rate debt. As of December 31, 2005, our $766.7 million debt portfolio consisted of approximately $590.8 million, or 77%, of fixed-rate debt, with interest rates ranging from 4.9% to 15.5%, and approximately $175.9 million, or 23%, of variable-rate debt. Our overall weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was 7.12% and 6.85%, respectively.

TCI’s interest rate sensitivity position is managed by TCI’s capital markets department. Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between changes in market interest rates and the fair value of market rate sensitive assets and liabilities. TCI’s earnings are affected as changes in short-term interest rates affect its cost of variable-rate debt and maturing fixed-rate debt.

If market interest rates for variable-rate debt average 100 basis points more in 2007 than they did during 2006, TCI’s interest expense would increase and net income would decrease by $2.54 million. This amount is determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on TCI’s borrowing cost. The analysis does not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.

Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, management would likely take actions to further mitigate its exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no change in TCI’s financial structure.

The following table contains only those exposures that existed at December 31, 2006. 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors of

Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc.

Dallas, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 21, Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc.’s management intends to sell land and income producing properties and refinance or extend debt secured by real estate to meet the Company’s liquidity needs.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Schedules III and IV are presented for the purpose of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and is not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly state, in all material respects, the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. and consolidated entities have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the most significant of which are described in NOTE 1. “SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.” 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.

Effective March 31, 2003, TCI financial results have been consolidated with the American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARI”) Form 10-K and related consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2006, ARI owned 82.2% of the outstanding TCI common shares.

Certain balances for 2004 and 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.

NOTE 1.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and business. Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (“TCI”), a Nevada corporation, is successor to a California business trust which was organized on September 6, 1983, and commenced operations on January 31, 1984. TCI invests in real estate through direct ownership, leases and partnerships and it also invests in mortgage loans on real estate. In October 2001, TCI announced a preliminary agreement for the acquisition of TCI by American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARI”). See NOTE 23. “COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND LIQUIDITY.”

Basis of consolidation. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries, generally all of which are wholly-owned, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling interest, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity in accordance with the provisions and guidance of Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46(R)”) or meets certain criteria of a sole general partner or managing member as identified in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 04-5, Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership when the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners have Certain Rights (“EITF 04-5”). Controlling interest in an entity is normally determined by the ownership of a majority of the entity’s voting interests; however, other determining factors include, but may not be limited to, whether the Company provides significant financial support and bears a majority of the financial risks, authorizes certain capital transactions such as the purchase, sale or financing of material assets or makes operating decisions that materially affect the entity’s financial results. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting estimates. In the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, it is 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 ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Allowance for estimated losses. Valuation allowances are 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 Company’s investment in the note exceeds the estimated fair value of the collateral securing such note.

Recent Accounting pronouncements. In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS No. 155”). The purpose of SFAS No. 155 is to simplify the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 155 to have a material impact on our cash flows, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB No. 108”), “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior period misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 requires the quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements on each of the company’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. This model is commonly referred to as the “dual approach” because it requires quantification of errors under both the iron curtain and the roll-over methods. The roll-over method focuses primarily on the impact of a misstatement on the income statement—including the reversing effect of prior year misstatements—but its use can lead to the accumulation of misstatements in the balance sheet. The iron-curtain method focuses primarily on the effect of correcting the period-end balance sheet with less emphasis on the reversing effects of prior year errors on the income statement. SAB 108 was effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our cash flows, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The new FASB rule defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of SFAS No. 157.

Real estate held for investment and depreciation. Real estate held for investment is carried at cost. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS No. 144”) requires that a property be considered impaired, if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property. If impairment exists, an impairment loss is recognized, by a charge against earnings, equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair value of the property. If impairment of a property is recognized, the carrying amount of the property is reduced by the amount of the impairment, and a new cost for the property is established. Such new cost is depreciated over the property’s remaining useful life. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which range from five 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 cost of sale. SFAS No. 144 also requires 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 is 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.

Foreign Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities of TCI’s foreign subsidiaries are translated using exchange rates as of the current balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated using exchange rates as determined throughout the year. Unrealized gains or losses from translations are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, as a separate component of the Company’s stockholders’ equity. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are translated to local currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The effect of the transaction’s gain or loss is included in the caption “Gain/(loss) on foreign currency transaction” in TCI’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Recognition of Rental Income. Rental income for commercial property leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. Rental income for residential property leases is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as earned, which is not materially different than on a straight-line basis as lease terms are generally for periods of one year or less. For hotel properties, revenues for room sales and guest services are recognized as rooms are occupied and services are rendered.

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”), as amended by SFAS No. 144. Until the requirements of SFAS No. 66 for full profit recognition have been met, transactions are accounted for using the deposit, installment, cost recovery or financing method, whichever is appropriate. When TCI provides seller financing, gain is not recognized at the time of sale unless the buyer’s initial investment and continuing investment are deemed to be adequate as determined by SFAS 66 guidelines.

Investment in non-controlled equity investees. The equity method is used to account for investments in partnerships which TCI does not control but for which significant influence can be exerted, and for its investment

in the shares of common stock of Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc., (“IORI”) and ARI. 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 advances and decreased by a proportionate share of the investee’s operating losses and distributions received.

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 notes receivable 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 non-performing notes receivable, the estimated fair value of TCI’s interest in the collateral property was used. 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 investments 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. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options and convertible preferred stock. The weighted average common shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 exclude 240,827, 264,874 and shares relating to options and convertible preferred stock to purchase shares of common stock. These dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of dilutive earnings per share because the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive.

Stock-based employee compensation. The Company previously accounted for its stock-based compensation utilizing the intrinsic value method in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments”, which revised SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS 123(R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements and forfeitures to be estimated at the grant date rather than as they occur. The Company previously based its estimated forfeiture rate on historical forfeitures of all stock option grants. The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) effective January 1, 2006 using the modified-prospective method and applied the provisions of SFAS 123(R) to all share-based compensation. All of TCI’s stock options were fully vested as of January 1, 2006 and TCI had no outstanding stock option grants that were modified or settled after January 1, 2006; therefore, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) had no material effect on the Company’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Had the compensation cost for options issued prior to the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123(R) been determined based on the fair values at the grant dates for awards granted in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R), the Company’s net income and net income per share for 2005 and 2004 would have decreased to the proforma amounts indicated in the following table:

Following is a brief description of the most significant property acquisitions and sales in 2006:

New Orleans Properties

In August 2006, TCI purchased the Clarke Garage at 913 Gravier in New Orleans, Louisiana for $9.0 million cash. The property is adjacent to 305 Baronne. 305 Baronne was purchased in August 2006 for $4.0 million cash and contains approximately 37,000 square feet of retail space currently occupied by retail tenants. 225 Baronne consists of approximately 417,000 square feet of office space and was significantly damaged during hurricane Katrina in September 2005. In 2006, TCI reduced the carrying value of 225 Baronne to $1.2 million, which approximates the value of the underlying land. TCI intends to redevelop 225 Baronne into an urban residential

In March 2006, TCI refinanced the 5.34 acre tract in Dallas, Texas known as West End Land, in the principal amount of $8.37 million. The loan from U.S. Bank accrues interest at the Prime rate plus 1% and matures January 2007. In 2007, the loan was extended until March 2008.

Kaufman and Dallas County Land

In November 2006, TCI, through a subsidiary company, closed on the initial round of funding for a $15 million secured line of credit provided by a California-based lending institution.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Throughout the period in which TCI qualified as a REIT for tax purposes, TCI charged rent to Regis Hotel Corporation, a related party, for TCI’s four hotel properties that were managed by Regis Hotel Corporation. As of December 31, 2000, when TCI no longer qualified as a REIT, the receivable from these rents totaled $2.1 million. During 2004 and 2005, this receivable was reduced by management fees earned by Regis Hotel Corporation. During 2006, TCI wrote off approximately $577,000 of the receivable which pertained to the Majestic Inn in San Francisco, California, which was sold in 2005. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the receivable from Regis Hotel Corporation was $403 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

In December 2003, TCI’s Board of Directors approved the payment to Regis of a six percent construction management fee on all construction projects in progress at December 31, 2003 and thereafter, to be applied to all construction costs incurred during 2003 and thereafter on each project. TCI incurred construction management and supervision fees of $2.6 million for 2006 and $1.7 million for 2005.

In December 2003, TCI sold six properties to subsidiaries of Unified Housing Foundation, Inc. (“UHF”), a Texas Non-Profit 501(c)3 Corporation. TCI sold 10.72 acres of Marine Creek land for $1.5 million, the Limestone at Vista Ridge apartments for $19.0 million, the Cliffs of El Dorado apartments for $13.4 million, the Limestone Canyon apartments for $18.0 million, the Sendero Ridge apartments for $29.4 million and Tivoli apartments for $16.1 million. All of the transactions included the assumption of debt and notes receivable for seller financing to TCI for the remainder of the purchase price. Ted Stokely, Chairman of the Board of TCI, is the General Manager of UHF. Richard Humphrey, who is employed by Regis Realty I, LLC, an affiliate, is Senior Vice President of UHF. Due to UHF being a related party to TCI and TCI having continuing involvement and control of these entities, these transactions have not been recorded as sales. Instead, these transactions have been accounted for using the deposit method and the properties and corresponding debt will continue to be consolidated by TCI. All of these transactions were approved by TCI’s Board of Directors. Mr. Stokely abstained from voting on all of these transactions. The loans on Limestone Canyon, Limestone at Vista Ridge and Tivoli were approved by their prospective lenders for transfer to the purchasing entities. TCI has guaranteed the loans on these transfers. Marine Creek land and the Cliffs of El Dorado apartments were recognized as sales during 2004. See NOTE 2. “REAL ESTATE.” Management is currently seeking lender approval on the transfer of the note associated with the Sendero Ridge apartments.

In September 2004, TCI sold 9.96 acres known as Limestone Canyon II to UHF for a purchase price of $720,000 for a note receivable. Due to no cash received and common control, TCI has elected to account for this sale on the deposit method until the requirements for a sale have been met. No sale was recognized and no note receivable has been recorded for this transaction.

In December 2004, TCI purchased five tracts of land from ARI, including the LCLLP tract (45.49 acres); the Payne tract (268 acres), of which TCI owns a 50% Tenant-In-Common interest; the Rochelle I tract (10.096 acres); the Rochelle II tract (21.269 acres); and the Valley Ranch tract (29.9 acres) for $39.1 million, including the assumption of debt and a reduction to the affiliate receivable balance from Prime of $29.1 million.

In June 2005, TCI purchased a subsidiary of a related party for $4.1 million, decreasing the affiliate receivable by $4.1 million.

In August 2005, TCI sold 8.8 acres, known as “Centura Land” to IORI for $6.7 million. For a period of one year following closing and 90 days thereafter, the buyer has the right to convey the land to TCI for the original sales price, plus a 12% preferred return per annum accruing from the closing date. This transaction has been treated as a financing by TCI, with a note payable of $6.7 million recorded. The put option was extended for one year and expires in November 2007.

In October 2003, TCI sold the One Hickory office building in Farmers Branch, Texas to IORI, a related party. TCI owns approximately 25 percent of the outstanding common shares of IORI. TCI sold One Hickory to IORI for $12.2 million and financed $12.0 million of the purchase price with a note receivable bearing interest at 5.49 percent per annum and maturing in June 2006. The $12.2 million sales price approximated TCI’s initial cost of acquiring the property in 2002 from American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARI”), a related party. ARI owns approximately 82 percent of the outstanding common shares of TCI. IORI immediately sold One Hickory together with 202 acres of undeveloped land to a partnership, the general partner of which was then an affiliate of ARI for a total sales price of $37.2 million. In May 2006, the partnership sold One Hickory and the undeveloped land back to IORI for $37.2 million. IORI in turn sold One Hickory back to TCI, in satisfaction of the $12.0 million note payable to IORI.

In November 2006, ARI purchased Windmill Farms, 3,035 acres in Kaufman County, Texas for $52.0 million. The purchase price was partially funded by $39 million debt and $10.0 million Preferred Stock of TCI. In connection with the purchase by ARI, TCI issued $10.0 million of Series D Preferred Stock to the sellers of the property. The transaction was recorded on the books of TCI as a reduction in the amount payable to affiliate of $10.0 million.

During 2002, TCI’s Board of Directors authorized the Chief Financial Officer of the Company to advance funds either to or from the Company, through BCM (then the advisor to the Company), in an amount up to $15.0 million, on the condition that such advances shall be repaid in cash or transfers of assets within 90 days. These advances are unsecured, generally have not had specific repayment terms, and have been reflected in TCI’s financial statements as other assets or other liabilities. Several property transfers from BCM or Prime were made during 2005 and 2004 to reduce the affiliate balance. Each of these transactions was approved by TCI’s Board of Directors. Effective July 1, 2005, TCI and the advisor agreed to charge interest on the outstanding balance of funds advanced to or from TCI. The interest rate, set at the beginning of each quarter, is the prime rate plus 1% on the average daily cash balances advanced.

Affiliate receivable with Regis Hotel Corporation are included within Other Assets and the affiliate payable to Prime and IORI is included within Other Liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Prime replaced BCM as the contractual advisor in July 2003 and assumed all of BCM’s affiliate balances and obligations from TCI. The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of affiliate receivables (payables) as of December 31, 2006.

PREFERRED STOCK

In conjunction with the purchase of the Baywalk, Island Bay and Marina Landing Apartments, all located in Galveston, Texas, TCI issued 30,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. TCI’s Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock consists of a maximum of 30,000 shares with a liquidation preference of $100.00 per share. Dividends are payable at the annual rate of $5.00 per share or $1.25 per quarter through September 2002, then $6.00 per share annually or $1.50 per quarter through September 2003, then $7.00 per share annually or $1.75 per quarter thereafter. After September 30, 2006, the Series C Preferred Stock may be converted into Common

TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Stock at 90.0% of the daily average closing price of the Common Stock for the prior five trading days. The Series C Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash at any time at the option of TCI. At December 31, 2006, 30,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

In November 2006, TCI acquired approximately 3,000 acres of partially developed land in Forney, Texas, known as Windmill Farms for approximately $50.2 million. Forney is a suburb east of the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. The purchase price was paid by issuance of $10 million in TCI Series D Preferred Stock, as well as additional financing arranged by Prime. Immediately upon closing, TCI sold its interest in the property to ARI, for an amount equal to its investment in the property, at no gain or loss. ARI assumed all of the liabilities incurred associated with the purchase. The net $10 million proceeds from the sale to ARI were applied to reduce the balance due to Prime. The Series D Preferred Stock, which is not convertible into any other security, requires dividends payable at the initial rate of seven percent annually. The dividend rate increases ratably from seven to nine percent in future periods.

NOTE 10. DIVIDENDS

TCI paid no dividends on its Common Stock in 2006, 2005 or 2004. The payment of dividends, if any, will be determined by the Board of Directors in light of conditions then existing, including the Company’s financial condition and requirements, future prospects, restrictions in financing agreements, business conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.

NOTE 11. STOCK OPTIONS

In October 2000, TCI’s stockholders approved the 2000 Stock Option Plan (“2000 Plan”). The 2000 Plan is administered by the Stock Option Committee, which currently consists of two Independent Directors of TCI. The exercise price per share of an option will not be less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant thereof. As of December 31, 2006, TCI had 300,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2000 Plan. No options have been granted under the 2000 Plan.

In October 2000, TCI’s stockholders approved the Director’s Stock Option Plan (the “Director’s Plan”) which provides for options to purchase up to 140,000 shares of TCI’s Common Stock. Options granted pursuant to the Director’s Plan are immediately exercisable and expire on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date on which a Director ceases to be a Director or 10 years from the date of grant. Each Independent Director was granted an option to purchase 5,000 Common shares at an exercise price of $14.875 per share on October 10, 2000, the date stockholders approved the plan. On January 1, 2005, 2004 and 2003, each Independent Director was granted an option to purchase 5,000 Common shares. The exercise price was $14.25, $16.73 and $17.64 per Common shares for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. On December 15, 2005, the Board of Directors terminated the Director’s Plan.

NOTE 12. ADVISORY AGREEMENT

Basic Capital Management, Inc. (“BCM”) served as advisor to TCI from March 28, 1989 to June 30, 2003. Effective July 1, 2003, BCM was replaced as contractual advisor to TCI by Prime Asset Management, Inc., (“PAMI”). PAMI is owned by Realty Advisors (80.0%) and Syntek West (20.0%), related parties. Syntek West is owned by Gene E. Phillips. Effective August 18, 2003, PAMI changed its name to Prime Income Asset Management, Inc., (“PIAMI”). On October 1, 2003, Prime Income Asset Management, LLC (“Prime”), which is owned 100% by PIAMI, replaced PIAMI as the advisor to TCI. Realty Advisors, Inc. is owned by a trust established for the benefit of the children of Gene E. Phillips. Mr. Phillips is not an officer or director of BCM or PIAMI or Prime, but serves as a representative of the trust, is involved in daily consultation with the officers of Prime and has significant influence over the conduct of Prime’s business, including the rendering of advisory services and the making of investment decisions for itself and for TCI.

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

The Advisory Agreement also requires prior Board approval for the retention of all consultants and third party professionals, other than legal counsel. The Advisory Agreement provides that Prime shall be deemed to be in a fiduciary relationship to the stockholders and contains a broad standard governing Prime’s liability for losses incurred by TCI.

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

The Advisory Agreement also provides for Prime to receive an annual incentive sales fee. Prime or an affiliate of Prime is to receive an acquisition commission for supervising the purchase or long-term lease of real estate. Prime or an affiliate of Prime is also to receive a mortgage brokerage and equity refinancing fee for obtaining loans to or refinancing of TCI’s properties. In addition, Prime receives reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by it, in the performance of advisory services for TCI.

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

Under the Advisory Agreement, all or a portion of the annual advisory fee must be refunded if the Operating Expenses of TCI (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) exceed certain limits specified in the Advisory Agreement. In 2003 and 2005, Prime was required to refund to TCI $1.3 million and $2.4 million of Prime’s advisory fees. Prime was not required to refund any of its 2004 or 2006 advisory fees.

Additionally, if management were to request that Prime render services other than those required by the Advisory Agreement, Prime or an affiliate of Prime would be separately compensated for such additional services on terms to be agreed upon from time to time. As discussed in NOTE 13. “PROPERTY MANAGEMENT,” Triad Realty Services, Ltd. (“Triad”), an affiliate of Prime, provides property management services. As discussed in NOTE 14. “REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE”, since January 1, 2003, Regis Realty I, LLC (“Regis I”), a related party, provided, on a non-exclusive basis, brokerage services.

NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES

For 2006, TCI has a taxable loss without the use of operating loss carry forwards. A net operating loss amount represents a credit toward regular Federal income tax liabilities in future years. As management cannot determine that it is more likely than not that TCI will realize the benefit of the deferred tax asset created by a net operating loss, a 100% valuation allowance has been established.

Effective January 1, 2004, the company was eligible to file a consolidated return with ARI. The income tax benefit for 2006 and the income tax expense for 2004 in the accompanying financial statement were calculated under a Tax Sharing and Compensating Agreement (Agreement). In 2006, ARI had net income and TCI had net losses, thus, TCI recorded a current Federal tax benefit in the amount of $3,771,000. Since in 2004, TCI had net income and ARI had net losses, TCI recorded a current Federal tax liability in the amount of $12,500,000. The benefit in 2006 and the expense in 2004 were based on the amount of losses absorbed by taxable income multiplied by the maximum statutory tax rate of 35%.

Current income tax expense is attributable to:


	2006			2005			2004
Income from continuing operations	$	(4,608	)	$	(802	)	$	(10,976	)
Income from discontinued operations		837			1,226			23,476

	$	(3,771	)	$	424		$	12,500

There was no deferred tax expense <benefit> recorded for the period as a result of the uncertainty of the future use of the deferred tax asset.

The Federal income tax expense differs from the amount computed by the applying the corporate tax rate of 35% to the income before income taxes as follows:

NOTE 18. 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 general and administrative expenses. Management evaluates the performance of the operating segments and allocates resources to each of them based on their operating income and cash flow. Items of income that are not reflected in the segments are interest, other income, gain on debt extinguishment, gain on condemnation award, equity in partnerships, and gains on sale of real estate totaling $25.0 million, $7.0 million and $10.4 million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Expenses that are not reflected in the segments are provision for losses, advisory, net income and incentive fees, general and administrative, minority interests, foreign currency transaction loss and net loss from discontinued operations before gains on sale of real estate totaling $16.5 million, $19.8 million and $21.9 million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Excluded from operating segment assets are assets of $133.0 million at December 31, 2006 and $146.0 million at December 31, 2005, which are not identifiable with an operating segment. There are no intersegment revenues and expenses and TCI conducted all of its business within the United States, with the exception of Hotel Akademia, a 161 room hotel in Wroclaw, Poland, which began operations in 2002. See “NOTE 2. “REAL ESTATE” and NOTE 3. “NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE.”

NOTE 19. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Effective January 1, 2002, TCI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which established a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, including discontinued operations. This statement requires that the operations related to properties that have been sold or properties that are intended to be sold, be presented as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented, and properties intended to be sold are to be designated as “held for sale” on the balance sheet.

For 2006, 2005 and 2004, income (loss) from discontinued operations relates to nine operating properties sold in 2006 or to be sold in 2007, 13 operating properties sold during 2005 and 22 operating properties sold during 2004. The following table summarizes revenue and expense information for these properties sold.

TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Quarterly results presented differ from those previously reported in TCI’s Form 10-Q due to the reclassification of the operations of properties sold or held for sale to discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS 144.

NOTE 21. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND LIQUIDITY

Partnership Obligations. TCI is the limited partner in 10 partnerships that are currently constructing residential properties. As permitted in the respective partnership agreements, TCI intends to purchase the interests of the general and any other limited partners in these partnerships subsequent to the completion of these projects. The amounts paid to buy out the nonaffiliated partners are limited to development fees earned by the non-affiliated partners, and are set forth in the respective partnership agreements. The total amount of the expected buyouts as of December 31, 2006 is approximately $2.1 million.

Commitments. In September 2005, TCI deposited $1.8 million with a seller for the purchase of partnership and member interests in 14 separate apartments and apartment developments located in the Southeast. Each partnership or membership purchase will be closed separately, pending lender approval and other conditions. TCI’s total cash investment can be up to $3.6 million if all interests are purchased. TCI has formed a number of partnerships with ICON Partners (formerly Woodmont Development) to develop various residential and commercial projects. Generally, TCI is a 75% general partner in these partnerships, and is obligated to advance any required equity.

Liquidity. Management believes that TCI will generate excess cash from property operations in 2007; such excess, however, will not be sufficient to discharge all of TCI’s obligations as they become due. Management intends to sell income producing assets, refinance real estate and obtain additional borrowings primarily secured by real estate to meet its liquidity requirements.

Guarantees. In February 2004, various subsidiaries of TCI guaranteed a $10 million line of credit for its parent, ARI. The subsidiaries of TCI also pledged and assigned assets, in the form of securities and partnership interests in construction properties, as additional collateral for this line of credit.

In November 2004, TCI guaranteed the $13.0 million note payable on the Limestone Ranch Apartments purchased from TCI by a subsidiary of Unified Housing Foundation, Inc. (“UHF”) in December 2003. TCI has guaranteed the payment obligations of the note balance, all interest accrued and payable, all other costs and fees associated with the note and any future collection expenses. The lender approved the transfer of the note to UHF’s subsidiary as part of this transaction.

In August 2005, TCI guaranteed the $10.0 million note payable on the Tivoli Apartments purchased from TCI by a subsidiary of UHF in December 2003. TCI has guaranteed the payment obligations of the note balance, all interest accrued and payable, all other costs and fees associated with the note and any future collection expenses. The lender approved the transfer of the note to UHF’s subsidiary as part of this transaction.

In September 2005, TCI guaranteed a loan of $1.6 million for a subsidiary of UHF. This loan is secured by a first lien on 22.3 acres of land known as Chase Oaks in Plano, Texas, owned by the related party.

In November 2005, TCI sold a note receivable for $1.1 million known as Round Mountain to a third party financial institution for full face value and accrued interest. TCI has guaranteed the payment obligations of the note balance, all interest accrued and payable, all other costs and fees associated with the note and any future collection expenses.

TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

In December 2005, TCI sold two notes receivable on McKinney Ranch land for $8.9 million to a third party financial institution for full face value and accrued interest. TCI has guaranteed the payment obligations of the note balance, all interest accrued and payable, all other costs and fees associated with the note and any future collection expenses.

In October 2006, Realty Advisors, Inc. (“RAI”), an affiliate of TCI and the parent company of BCM, borrowed $8 million from a South Korea commercial bank for the purpose of partially funding an investment in SH Chemical Co., Ltd. (“SH”) a public company based in South Korea and a manufacturer of expanded polystyrene resin products. RAI purchased approximately 34% of the outstanding common stock of SH. The $8 million commercial bank loan is collateralized by RAI’s investment in SH and is guaranteed by TCI.

Other Litigation. TCI is also involved in various other lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is of the opinion that the outcome of these lawsuits will have no material impact on TCI’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In January 2001, TCI exercised its option under the loan documents to extend the maturity date of three loans with a principal balance of $30.0 million secured by three office buildings in New Orleans, Louisiana. The lender has disputed TCI’s right to extend the loans. This dispute was the subject of litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. On September 11, 2003, TCI settled with the lender. On September 18, 2003, TCI paid $5.0 million to the lender, which gave TCI the right to retire the remaining debt outstanding on the three office buildings on or before December 10, 2003 for $20.0 million. TCI paid the remaining $20.0 million on December 10, 2003, which resulted in a $4.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt. BCM also agreed to enter into a time sharing agreement with the lender for use of BCM’s airplane for 200 hours. BCM requested that TCI reimburse BCM for these costs at the rate of $2,750 per hour, which was approved by TCI’s Board of Directors. TCI recorded $550,000 in 2003 in general and administrative expenses for this reimbursement to BCM.

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of a company;

•

provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, US and that receipts and expenditures of a company are being made only in accordance with authorizations and management and directors of a company; and

•

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls, material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes and conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, even internal controls determine to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in and reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and represented within the time periods required.

Management of the Company has assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2006. To make this assessment, the Company used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control–Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this assessment, management of the Company believes that as of December 31, 2006, the internal control system over financial reporting met those criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS,

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Directors

The affairs of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (“TCI”) are managed by a Board of Directors. The Directors are elected at the annual meeting of stockholders or appointed by the incumbent Board and serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until a successor has been elected or approved.

After December 31, 2003, a number of changes occurred in the composition of the Board of Directors of TCI, including the creation of certain Board committees, the adoption of Committee charters, the adoption of a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, and the adoption of Guidelines for Director Independence. Also, the composition of the members of the Board of Directors changed with the resignation of Earl D. Cecil (on February 29, 2004) as well as the election of independent directors, Ted R. Munselle and Sharon Hunt on February 20, 2004, and Robert A. Jakuszewski on November 22, 2005.

It is the Board’s objective that a majority of the Board consists of independent directors. For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with TCI. The Board has established guidelines to assist it in determining director independence which conform to, or are more exacting than, the independence requirements in the New York Stock Exchange listing rules. The independence guidelines are set forth in TCI’s “Corporate Governance Guidelines.” The text of this document has been posted on TCI’s internet website at http://www.transconrealty-invest.com and is available in print to any shareholder who requests it. In addition to applying these guidelines, the Board will consider all relevant facts and circumstances in making an independent determination.

TCI has adopted a code of conduct that applies to all Directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Stockholders may find our code of conduct on our website by going to our website address at http://www.transconrealty-invest.com. We will post any amendments to the code of conduct, as well as any waivers that are required to be disclosed by the rules of the SEC or the New York Stock Exchange on our website.

Our Board of Directors has adopted charters for our Audit, Compensation and Governance and Nominating Committees of the Board of Directors. Stockholders may find these documents on our website by going to the website address at http://www.transconrealty-invest.com. You may also obtain a printed copy of the materials referred to by contacting us at the following address:

All members of the Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees must be independent directors. Members of the Audit Committee must also satisfy additional independence requirements, which provide (i) that they may not accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or compensatory fee from TCI or any of its subsidiaries other than their director’s compensation (other than in their capacity as a member of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors, or any other committee of the Board), and (ii) no member of the Audit Committee may be an “affiliated person” of TCI or any of its subsidiaries, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Presiding Director

In March 2004, the Board created a new position of presiding director, whose primary responsibility is to preside over periodic executive sessions of the Board in which Management directors and other members of Management do not participate. The presiding director also advises the Chairman of the Board and, as

103

appropriate, Committee Chairs with respect to agendas and information needs relating to Board and Committee meetings, provides advice with respect to the selection of Committee Chairs and performs other duties that the Board may from time to time delegate to assist the Board in fulfillment of its responsibilities.

Martin L. White, a director until November 22, 2005, served in such position from March 2004 through November 22, 2005. On November 22, 2005, the non-Management members of the Board designated Ted R. Munselle to serve in this position until the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held following the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.

Determination of Director’s Independence

In February 2004, the Board adopted its Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Guidelines adopted by the Board meet or exceed the new listing standards adopted during that year by the New York Stock Exchange. The full text of the Guidelines can be found on the Company’s Investor Relations website (www.transcontrealty-invest.com). Pursuant to the Guidelines, the Board undertook its annual review of director independence on February, 2006 and during this review, the Board considered transactions and relationships between each director or any member of his or her immediate family and TCI and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including those reported under Certain Relationships and Related Transactions below. The Board also examined transactions and relationship between directors or their affiliates and members of TCI’s senior management or their affiliates. As provided in the Guidelines, the purpose of such review was to determine whether such relationships or transactions were inconsistent with the determination that the director is independent.

As a result of this review, the Board affirmatively determined of the then directors, Messrs. Munselle and Jakuszewski and Ms. Hunt are each independent of the Company and its Management under the standards set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines.

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

Under the securities laws of the United States, the directors, executive officers, and any persons holding more than ten percent of TCI’s shares of Common Stock are required to report their share ownership and any changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Specific due dates for these reports have been established and TCI is required to report any failure to file by these dates. All of these filing requirements were satisfied by TCI’s directors, executive officers, and ten percent holders during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. In making these statements, TCI has relied on the written representations of its incumbent directors and executive officers and its ten percent holders and copies of the reports they have filed with the Commission.

105

The Advisor

Although the Board of Directors is directly responsible for managing the affairs of TCI and for setting the policies which guide it, TCI’s day-to-day operations are performed by Prime under the supervision of the Board. The duties of Prime 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. Prime also serves as a consultant to the Board in connection with the business plan and investment decisions made by the Board.

BCM served as TCI’s advisor from March 1989 to June 30, 2003. Effective July 1, 2003, BCM was replaced as contractual advisor to TCI by PAMI under the same terms as BCM’s advisory agreement. PIAMI is owned by Realty Advisors, Inc. (80.0%) and Syntek West, Inc. (20.0%), related parties. Syntek West, Inc. is owned by Gene Phillips. Effective August 18, 2003, PAMI changed its name to Prime Income Asset Management, Inc., (“PIAMI”). On October 1, 2003, Prime, which is owned 100% by PIAMI, replaced PIAMI as the advisor to TCI. The duties of Prime 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. Prime also serves as a consultant in connection with TCI’s business plan and investment decisions made by the Board.

Prime is a company of which Messrs. Crozier, Vidal, Moos, Corna, and Abney serve as executive officers. Prime is 80% indirectly owned by a trust for the children of Gene E. Phillips. Mr. Phillips is not an officer or director of Prime, but serves as a representative of the trust, is an officer of SWI and is involved in daily consultation with the officers of Prime and has significant influence over the conduct of Prime’s business, including the rendering of advisory services and the making of investment decisions for itself and for TCI.

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

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

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

The Advisory Agreement also provides for Prime to receive an annual incentive sales fee equal to 10.0% of the amount, if any, by which the aggregate sales consideration for all real estate sold by TCI during such fiscal year exceeds the sum of: (1) the cost of each such property as originally recorded in TCI’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, 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 8.0% 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 5.0% higher in the current fiscal year than in the prior fiscal year.

106

Additionally, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement Prime or an affiliate of Prime 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 1.0% 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 fees and real estate brokerage commissions) may not exceed such property’s appraised value at acquisition. Prime does not receive such a commission on acquisitions from an affiliated or related party.

The Advisory Agreement requires Prime or any affiliate of Prime to pay to TCI, one-half of any compensation received from third parties with respect to the origination, placement or brokerage of any loan made by TCI; provided, however, that the compensation retained by Prime or any affiliate of Prime shall not exceed the lesser of (1) 2.0% of the amount of the loan commitment or (2) a loan brokerage and commitment fee which is reasonable and fair under the circumstances.

The Advisory Agreement also provides that Prime or an affiliate of Prime is to receive a mortgage or loan acquisition fee with respect to the acquisition or purchase of any existing mortgage loan by TCI equal to the lesser of (1) 1.0% of the amount of the loan purchased or (2) a brokerage or commitment fee which is reasonable and fair under the circumstances. Such fee will not be paid in connection with the origination or funding of any mortgage loan by TCI.

Under the Advisory Agreement, Prime or an affiliate of Prime also is to receive a mortgage brokerage and equity refinancing fee for obtaining loans or refinancing on properties equal to the lesser of (1) 1.0% 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 Prime or an affiliate of Prime without the approval of TCI’s Board of Directors. No fee shall be paid on loan extensions.

The Advisory Agreement also provides that for all activities in connection with or related to construction for the Company and its subsidiaries, Prime shall receive a fee equal to 6% of the so-called “hard costs” only of any costs of construction on a completed basis, based upon amounts set forth as approved on any architect certificate issued in connection with such construction, which fee is payable at such time as the applicable architect certifies other costs for payment to third parties. The phrase “hard costs” means all actual costs of construction paid to contractors, subcontractors and third parties for materials or labor performed as part of the construction but does not include items generally regarded as “soft costs,” which are consulting fees, attorneys’ fees, architectural fees, permit fees and fees of other professionals.

Under the Advisory Agreement, Prime receives reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by it in the performance of advisory services.

Under the Advisory Agreement, all or a portion of the annual advisory fee must be refunded by the Advisor if the Operating Expenses of TCI (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) exceed certain limits specified in the Advisory Agreement based on the book value, net asset value and net income of TCI during the fiscal year. Prime was required to refund $1.3 million of the 2003 advisory fee under this provision, and $2.4 million of the 2005 advisory fee under this provision. Prime was not required to refund any of the 2004 advisory fees to TCI.

Additionally, if management were to request that Prime render services to TCI other than those required by the Advisory Agreement, Prime or an affiliate of Prime separately would be compensated for such additional services on terms to be agreed upon from time to time. As discussed below, under “Property Management,” TCI has hired Triad Realty Services, Ltd. (“Triad”), an affiliate of BCM, to provide property management services for TCI’s properties. Also as discussed below, under “Real Estate Brokerage” TCI had engaged, on a non-exclusive basis, Regis Realty, Inc. (“Regis”), a related party, to perform brokerage services for TCI until December 2002. Beginning January 1, 2003, Regis Realty I LLC performs brokerage services for TCI.

107

Effective July 1, 2005, the Company and Prime entered into a Cash Management Agreement to further define the administration of the Company’s day-to-day investment operations, relationship contacts, flow of funds and deposit and borrowing of funds. Under the Cash Management Agreement, all funds of the Company are delivered to Prime which has a deposit liability to the Company and is responsible for payment of all payables and investment of all excess funds which earn interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 1% per annum, as set quarterly on the first day of each calendar quarter. Borrowings for the benefit of the Company bear the same interest rate. The term of the Cash Management Agreement is coterminous with the Advisory Agreement, and is automatically renewed each year unless terminated with the Advisory Agreement.

Prime may assign the Advisory Agreement only with the prior consent of TCI.

The directors and principal executive officers of Prime are set forth below.

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 Prime, TCI’s advisor, are compensated by Prime. Such executive officers perform a variety of services for Prime and the amount of their compensation is determined solely by Prime. Prime does not allocate the cash compensation of its officers among the various entities for which it serves as advisor. See ITEM 10. “DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT—The Advisor” for a more detailed discussion of the compensation payable to Prime.

The only remuneration paid by TCI is to the directors who are not officers or directors of Prime or its affiliated companies. The Independent Directors (1) review the business plan of TCI to determine that it is in the best interest of TCI’s 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 year. In addition, each Independent Director receives an additional $250 for each Audit Committee meeting attended, plus 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 2006, $123,500 was paid to the Independent Directors in total directors’ fees for all services, including the annual fee for service during the period January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006, and 2006 special service fees as follows: Sharon Hunt, $30,000; Robert A. Jakuszewski, $30,000; Ted R. Munselle, $30,000; and Ted P. Stokely, $33,000.

Director’s Stock Option Plan

TCI established a Director’s Stock Option Plan (“Director’s Plan”) for the purpose of attracting and retaining Directors who are not officers or employees of TCI or Prime or BCM. The Director’s 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 Director’s 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 Common Stock of TCI. On January 1 of each year, each Independent Director receives 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. The Director’s Plan was terminated by the Board of Directors on December 15, 2005.

As of March 23, 2007, options covering 40,000 shares of TCI Common Stock were outstanding.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN

RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Certain Business Relationships

In February 1989, the Board of Directors voted to retain BCM as TCI’s advisor. See ITEM 10. “DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT—The Advisor.” Effective July 1, 2004, Prime replaced BCM as the contractual advisor to TCI. Prime is indirectly owned by a trust for the children of Gene E. Phillips. Mr. Phillips is not an officer or director of Prime, but serves as a representative of the trust, is involved in daily consultation with the officers of Prime and has significant influence over the conduct of Prime’s business, including the rendering of advisory services and the making of investment decisions for itself and for TCI.

Since February 1, 1991, affiliates of BCM have provided property management services to TCI. Currently, Triad provides such property management services. Triad subcontracts the property-level management and leasing of 22 of TCI’s commercial properties to Regis I and three of its four hotels to Regis Hotel I, LLC.

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

One of TCI’s Directors (Robert Jakuszewski) also serves as a director of IORI. The Director owes fiduciary duties to IORI as well as to TCI under applicable law. At December 31, 2006, TCI owned approximately 24.0%

112

of the outstanding common shares of IORI. Prime also serves as advisor to ARI. All of TCI’s directors also serve as Directors of ARI. Messrs. Vidal, Moos, Corna, and Abney serve as executive officers of ARI, Prime and IORI.

Related Party Transactions

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

Operating Relationships

In the year ended December 31, 2006, TCI received $70,000 in rent from Prime for a lease at Addison Hangar. An affiliate of BCM owns a corporate jet that is housed at the hangar and TCI has available space at the hangar.

Property Transactions Update

In January 2004, TCI purchased the Vista Ridge land tract from ARI for $2.6 million. This transaction decreased TCI’s affiliate receivable with Prime by $2.6 million. See NOTE 2. “REAL ESTATE.”

In February 2004, TCI incurred a debt for $1.0 million used for the purchase of land by ARI. This transaction increased TCI’s affiliate receivable with Prime by $2.6 million.

In February 2004, TCI recorded the sale of a tract of Marine Creek land originally sold to a related party in December 2003. This transaction was not recorded as a sale for accounting purposes in December 2003 and was recorded as a TCI refinancing transaction in February 2004. TCI received $1.2 million in cash from the related party in February 2004 as payment on the land. TCI has a note receivable balance of $270,000 remaining that bears interest at 12.00% and matures in April 2009. TCI recorded the sale of the Marine Creek land tract due to the payment received on the note receivable. See NOTE 2. “REAL ESTATE.”

In May 2004, TCI purchased the Treehouse Apartments from an affiliate with a net purchase price of $7.5 million for the assumption of debt and a note receivable, less cash received of $498,000. The note receivable was from the sale of the Cliffs of El Dorado Apartments to a related party in 2003. At that time, the sale of the Cliffs of El Dorado Apartments was not recorded as a sale for accounting purposes. TCI recorded the sale of the Cliffs of El Dorado in May 2004 due to payment received for the Cliffs of El Dorado note receivable. See NOTE 2. “REAL ESTATE.”

In January 2004, TCI purchased the Lacy Longhorn land tract from ARI for $4.5 million. This transaction decreased TCI’s affiliate receivable with Prime by $4.5 million. See NOTE 2. “REAL ESTATE.”

In June 2004, TCI sold Waters Edge IV apartments to ARI for $5.0 million. This transaction increased TCI’s affiliate receivable with Prime by $5.0 million. See NOTE 2. “REAL ESTATE.”

In June 2004, TCI refinanced the 1010 Common office building, Lacy Longhorn land and certain tracts of Marine Creek land. TCI paid-off an existing note payable for ARI for $1.9 million, increasing the affiliate receivable balance by $1.9 million.

In September 2004, TCI sold Limestone Canyon II land to a subsidiary of UHF for $720,000 in the form of a seller note receivable. Due to no cash received and common control, TCI has elected to continue consolidating this tract of land until the requirements for a sale have been met. No sale was recognized and no note receivable has been recorded.

113

In December 2003, TCI’s Board of Directors approved the payment to Regis I of a six percent construction management fee on all construction projects in progress at December 31, 2003 and thereafter, to be applied to all costs incurred during 2003 and thereafter, on each project. Construction management fees of 2.6 million for 2006, 2.0 million for 2005 and 6.2 million for 2004 were treated as increases in the affiliate payable balance to Prime.

As more fully described in ITEM 2. “PROPERTIES-Real Estate,” TCI is a partner with IORI in Nakash Income Associates. TCI owns 345,728 shares of IORI’s Common Stock, an approximate 24.0% interest. At December 31, 2006, the market value of the IORI common shares was $2.3 million.

In addition, from time-to-time, TCI and its affiliates have made advances to each other, which generally have not had specific repayment terms and have been reflected in TCI’s financial statements as other assets or other liabilities. At December 31, 2006, TCI had receivables of $351,000 from Regis Hotel Corporation. Also at December 31, 2006, TCI owed $5.7 million to Prime.

In connection with the resolution of certain litigation filed August 10, 2004 by the Company, ARI and IORI, the Company owns 48.8% of Midland Odessa Properties, Inc. (formerly Innovo Realty, Inc.) (“MOPI”), the balance of which is owned by ARI (31.3%) and IOT (19.9%). MOPI in turn is a 30% limited partner in several “Metra” partnerships formed in 2002 when IORI, ARI and the Company sold certain residential properties to partnerships controlled by Metra Capital LLC. The original sale transactions were accounted for as refinancing transactions with the Company continuing to report the assets and new debt incurred by the “Metra” partnerships on the Company’s financial statements. As properties are sold to independent third parties, the transactions are reported as sales. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

114

Restrictions on Related Party Transactions

Article FOURTEENTH of TCI’s Articles of Incorporation provides that TCI shall not, directly or indirectly, contract or engage in any transaction with (1) any director, officer or employee of TCI, (2) any director, officer or employee of the advisor, (3) the advisor or (4) any affiliate or associate (as such terms are defined in Rule12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of any of the aforementioned persons, unless (a) the material facts as to the relationship among or financial interest of the relevant individuals or persons and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed to or are known by the Board of Directors or the appropriate committee thereof and (b) the Board of Directors or committee thereof determines that such contract or transaction is fair to TCI and simultaneously authorizes or ratifies such contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of independent directors of TCI entitled to vote thereon. Article FOURTEENTH defines an “Independent Director” as one who is neither an officer or employee of TCI nor a director, officer or employee of TCI’s advisor.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL

ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

The following table sets for the aggregate fees for professional services rendered to or for TCI by Farmer, Fuqua and Huff, L.P. and BDO Seidman, LLP for 2006 and 2005:


	2006				2005
Type of Fee	Farmer, Fuqua & Huff		BDO Seidman		Farmer, Fuqua & Huff		BDO Seidman
Audit Fees	$	347,894	$	—	$	280,971	$	102,184
Audit Related Fees		1,755		—		36,500		—
Tax Fees		37,005		7,317		34,405		50,021
All Other Fees		—		—		—		—

Total	$	386,654	$	7,317	$	351,876	$	152,205

The audit fees for 2006 and 2005, respectively, were for professional services rendered for the audits and reviews of the consolidated financial statements of TCI. Tax fees for 2006 and 2005, respectively, were for services related to federal and state tax compliance and advice.

All services rendered by the principal auditors are permissible under applicable laws and regulations and were pre-approved by either the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee, as required by law. The fees paid the principal auditors for services as described in the above table fall under the categories listed below:

Audit Fees. These are fees for professional services performed by the principal auditor for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in the Company’s 10-Q filings and services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filing or engagements.

Audit-Related Fees. These are fees for assurance and related services performed by the principal auditor that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements. These services include attestations by the principal auditor that are not required by statute or regulation and consulting on financial accounting/reporting standards.

Tax Fees. These are fees for professional services performed by the principal auditor with respect to tax compliance, tax planning, tax consultation, returns preparation and review of returns. The review of tax returns includes the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

All Other Fees. These are fees for other permissible work performed by the principal auditor that do not meet the above category descriptions.

115

These services are actively monitored (as to both spending level and work content) by the Audit Committee to maintain the appropriate objectivity and independence in the principal auditor’s core work, which is the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Audit Committee has established policies and procedures for the approval and pre-approval of audit services and permitted non-audit services. The Audit Committee has the responsibility to engage and terminate TCI’s independent auditors, to pre-approve their performance of audit services and permitted non-audit services, to approve all audit and non-audit fees, and to set guidelines for permitted non-audit services and fees. All fees for 2005 and 2004 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee or were within the pre-approved guidelines for permitted non-audit services and fees established by the Audit Committee, and there were no instances of waiver of approved requirements or guidelines during the same periods.

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “SO Act”), and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor. The purpose of the provisions of the SO Act and the SEC rules for the Audit Committee role in retaining the independent auditor is two-fold. First, the authority and responsibility for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the auditors should be with directors who are independent of management. Second, any non-audit work performed by the auditors should be reviewed and approved by these same independent directors to ensure that any non-audit services performed by the auditor do not impair the independence of the independent auditor. To implement the provisions of the SO Act, the SEC issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent may not provide to its audit client, and governing the Audit Committee’s administration of the engagement of the independent auditor. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that they do not impair the auditor’s independence. Accordingly, the Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy of audit and non-audit services (the “Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and conditions pursuant to which services to be performed by the independent auditor are to be pre-approved. Consistent with the SEC rules establishing two different approaches to pre-approving non-prohibited services, the Policy of the Audit Committee covers Pre-approval of audit services, audit-related services, international administration tax services, non-U.S. income tax compliance services, pension and benefit plan consulting and compliance services, and U.S. tax compliance and planning. At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Audit Committee will evaluate other known potential engagements of the independent auditor, including the scope of work proposed to be performed and the proposed fees, and will approve or reject each service, taking into account whether services are permissible under applicable law and the possible impact of each non-audit service on the independent auditor’s independence from management. Typically, in addition to the generally pre-approved services, other services would include due diligence for an acquisition that may or may not have been known at the beginning of the year. The Audit Committee has also delegated to any member of the Audit Committee designated by the Board or the financial expert member of the Audit Committee responsibilities to pre-approve services to be performed by the independent auditor not exceeding $25,000 in value or cost per engagement of audit and non-audit services, and such authority may only be exercised when the Audit Committee is not in session.
