NOTE 4. OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS
- ------- ----------------------

In May 2001, ARI purchased the leasehold interests in 37 oil and gas mineral
development properties, which include 131 drilled wells. The total proved
reserves are 5.9 million barrels of oil and 3.0 billion cubic feet of natural
gas. The total purchase price was $4.7 million, plus a 40% profit
participation. The Operator's Interest was purchased for $375,000, with $25,000
cash paid at closing. ARI gave a note payable for the remaining $350,000. The
note bears no interest, and matures in May 2002. Monthly principal payments are
required. The Working Interests were purchased for $4.3 million, with $125,000
cash paid at closing. ARI gave a note payable for $250,000. The note bears no
interest, and matures in November 2001. One-half of the principal is due in
August 2001. The remaining $4.0 million was paid by issuing 3,968.75 shares of
ARI Series F Preferred Stock, which is redeemable quarterly in an amount equal
to 20% of net cash flow from these oil and gas operations. The stock has a
liquidation value of $1,000 per share, and pays no dividends. Production from
these wells began in July 2001.

NOTE 5. INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY INVESTEES
- ------- -------------------------------

Real estate entities. ARI's investment in real estate entities at June 30,
2001, included equity securities of two affiliated publicly traded real estate
companies, Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IORI") and
Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. ("TCI"), and interests in real estate
joint venture partnerships. BCM, ARI's advisor, serves as advisor to IORI and
TCI.

ARI accounts for its investment in IORI and TCI and the joint venture
partnerships using the equity method. The equity securities of IORI and TCI are
pledged as collateral for borrowings. See NOTE 8. "MARGIN BORROWINGS."

</TABLE>

Management continues to believe that the market value of both IORI and TCI
undervalues their assets, and, therefore, ARI may continue to increase its
ownership in these entities in 2001, as its liquidity permits. On October 3,
2000, ARI and IORI entered into a stock option agreement which provided IORI and
ARI with an option to purchase 1,858,900 shares of Common Stock of TCI from a
third party. On October 19, 2000, IORI assigned all of its rights to purchase
such shares to ARI. The total cost to purchase the TCI shares was $30.8
million. In October 2000, ARI paid $5.6 million of the option price. In April
2001, the remainder of the option price was paid and ARI acquired the TCI
shares.

Set forth below is summarized results of operations of equity investees for the
six months ended June 30, 2001:

========
</TABLE>
ARI's share of equity investees' loss before gains on the sale of real estate
was $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, and its share of equity
investees' gains on sale of real estate was $12.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2001. Also included is a loss of $387,000 from the sale of
stock.

ARI's cash flow from IORI and TCI is dependent on the ability of each of them to
make distributions. In the fourth quarter of 2000, IORI and TCI suspended
distributions.

In June 2000, ARI sold 1.6 million shares of TCI stock resulting in a $7.7
million loss and 54,000 shares of IORI stock resulting in a

$246,000 loss. These losses are included in equity in income (loss) of
investees on the Statement of Operations.

ART Florida Portfolio II, Ltd. In June 2000, Vestavia Lakes Apartments
partnership, in Orlando, Florida, in which ART Portfolio II, Ltd. owned an
interest, was sold. A loss was incurred on the sale, of which ARI's share was
$967,000, which is included in equity income (loss) of investees in the
accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Elm Fork Ranch, L.P. In June 2000, ARI sold its partnership interests for $2.0
million in cash, retaining an option to repurchase its interests. In January
2001, ARI purchased 100% of the partnership interests for $9.2 million,
including financing of $9.0 million.

NOTE 6. MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES - TRADING PORTFOLIO
- ------- ------------------------------------------------

Since 1994, ARI has been purchasing equity securities of entities other than
those of IORI and TCI to diversify and increase the liquidity of its margin
accounts. These equity securities are considered a trading portfolio and are
carried at market value. In the first six months of 2001, ARI did not purchase
or sell any such securities. At June 30, 2001, ARI recognized an unrealized
decrease in the market value of its trading portfolio securities of $15,000.
Unrealized and realized gains and losses on trading portfolio securities are
included in other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

NOTE 8. MARGIN BORROWINGS
- --------- -----------------

ARI has margin arrangements with various financial institutions and brokerage
firms which provide for borrowing of up to 50% of the market value of marketable
equity securities. The borrowings under such margin arrangements are secured by
equity securities of IORI and TCI and ARI's trading portfolio securities and
bear interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 11.0%. Margin borrowing totaled $12.3
million at June 30, 2001.

In April 2000, ARI obtained a security loan in the amount of $5.0 million with a
financial institution. ARI received net cash of $4.6

15
AMERICAN REALTY INVESTORS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued



NOTE 8. MARGIN BORROWINGS (Continued)
- ------- -----------------

million after paying various closing costs. The loan bears interest at prime
plus 1% per annum (currently 7.75% per annum), requires monthly payments of
interest only and matures in September 2001. The loan is secured by 1,050,000
shares of ARI Common Stock held by BCM, ARI's advisor.

In March 2001, ARI obtained a security loan in the amount of $3.5 million from a
financial institution. ARI received net cash of $3.5 million after paying
various closing costs. The loan bears interest at 16.0% per annum. In April
and May 2001, a total of $2.0 million in principal paydowns were made. In July
2001, the loan was repaid in full, including accrued but unpaid interest. The
loan was secured by 472,000 shares of TCI owned by ARI and 128,000 shares of ARI
owned by One Realco.


NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES
- ------- ------------

Financial statement income varies from taxable income principally due to the
accounting for income and losses of investees, gains and losses from asset
sales, depreciation on owned properties, amortization of discounts on notes
receivable and payable and the difference in the allowance for estimated losses.
ARI had no taxable income or provision for income taxes in the six months ended
June 30, 2001 or 2000. A deferred tax liability equal to the deferred tax asset
has been provided due to the uncertainty of the future utilization of the
deferred tax asset.


NOTE 10. OPERATING SEGMENTS
- -------- ------------------

Significant differences among the accounting policies of the operating segments
as compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements principally involve the
calculation and allocation of administrative expenses. Management evaluates the
performance of each of the operating segments and allocates resources to them
based on their net operating income and cash flow. Expenses that are not
reflected in the segments are $1.6 million and $4.5 million of general and
administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$4.7 million and $8.8 million for 2000. Excluded from operating segment assets
are assets of $122.4 million in 2001 and $95.7 million in 2000, which are not
identifiable with an operating segment. There are no intersegment revenues and
expenses and ARI conducted all of its business within the United States, with
the exception of Hotel Sofia (Bulgaria).

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- ---------- -----------------------------

Liquidity. Management expects that ARI will generate excess cash from
operations, due to increased rental rates and occupancy at its properties;
however, such excess will not be sufficient to discharge all of ARI's debt
obligations as they mature. ARI will rely on aggressive land sales, selected
income producing property sales and, to the extent necessary, additional
borrowings to meet its cash requirements.

Commitments. In March 1999, ARI reached an agreement with the Class A
unitholders of Valley Ranch, L.P. to acquire their eight million Class A units
for $1.00 per unit. In 1999, three million units were purchased. Additionally,
one million units were purchased in January 2000 and two million units were
purchased in May 2001. ARI has committed to purchase the remaining two million
units in May 2002.

Litigation. ARI is involved in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course
of business. In the opinion of ARI's management, the outcome of these lawsuits
will not have a material impact on ARI's financial condition, results of
operations or liquidity.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction
- ------------

ARI's predecessor was organized in 1961 to provide investors with a
professionally managed, diversified portfolio of equity real estate and mortgage
loan investments selected to provide opportunities for capital appreciation as
well as current income.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
-------------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

General. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2001, totaled $6.0 million,
compared with $4.2 million at December 31, 2000. Although ARI anticipates that
during the remainder of 2001 it will generate excess cash flow from property
operations, as discussed below, such excess cash is not sufficient to discharge
all of ARI's debt obligations as they mature. ARI will therefore continue to
rely on externally generated funds, including borrowings against its investments
in various real estate entities, mortgage notes receivable, refinancing of
properties and, to the extent necessary, borrowings to meet its debt service
obligations, pay taxes, interest and other non-property related expenses.

At December 31, 2000, notes payable totaling $193.4 million had either scheduled
maturities or required principal reduction payments during 2001. During the
first six months of 2001, ARI either extended, refinanced, paid down, paid off
or received commitments from lenders to extend or refinance $93.4 million of the
debt scheduled to mature in 2001.

Net cash used in operating activities increased to a use of $31.0 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2001, from a use of $30.8 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2000. Fluctuations in the components of cash flow from
operations are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Net cash from property operations (rents collected less payments for expenses
applicable to rental income) decreased to $9.0 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2001 from $9.3 million in 2000. The decrease is primarily attributable
to the sale of nine apartments in 2000. ARI expects a decrease in cash flow
from property operations during the remainder of 2001. Such decrease is
expected to result from the continued selective sale of income producing
properties.

Net cash from pizza operations (sales less cost of sales) in the six months
ended June 30, 2001, was $2.9 million approximating the $3.0 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2000.

Interest collected decreased to $300,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2001,
from $3.9 million in 2000. The decrease was attributable to the collection of
$36.0 million of mortgage notes receivable in 2000.

Interest paid decreased to $31.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001,
from $33.0 million in 2000. The decrease was attributable to the 13 land
parcels and nine apartments sold in 2000 resulting in the payoff, paydown or
assumption by the purchaser of mortgage debt.

Advisory fees paid increased to $3.5 million in the six months ended June 30,
2001, from $2.6 million in 2000. The increase is attributable to the inclusion
of National Realty, L.P. assets in the basis for the advisory fees, after August
2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
- -------------------------------

General and administrative expenses paid decreased to $4.5 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2001, from $8.8 million in 2000. The decrease is
primarily attributable to reduced consulting and partnership fees, and reduced
cost reimbursements paid to the advisor.

ARI's cash flow from its investments in IORI and TCI is dependent on the ability
of each of the entities to make distributions. In the fourth quarter of 2000,
IORI and TCI suspended distributions. Accordingly, ARI received no current
distributions in the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $1.8 million in
the first six months of 2000. However, in May 2001, ARI received $53,000 in
accumulated dividends on shares of Continental Mortgage and Equity Trust that
should have been exchanged for TCI Common Stock in 1999.

Other cash used in operating activities was $2.5 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2001 compared to $764,000 in other cash from operating activities in
2000. The change was primarily attributable to an increase in prepaid expenses.

In the first six months of 2001, ARI received a total of $2.7 million on the
collection of three mortgage notes receivable and $1.8 million in partial
paydown of another mortgage note receivable.

In 2001, ARI sold the following properties:

ARI has margin arrangements with various financial institutions and brokerage
firms which provide for borrowing up to 50% of the market value of ARI's
marketable equity securities. The borrowings under such margin arrangements are
secured by equity securities of IORI and TCI and ARI's trading portfolio and
bear interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 11.0%. Margin borrowing totaled $12.3
million at June 30, 2001.

Management expects that it will be necessary for ARI to sell $102.0 million,
$34.1 million and $1.2 million of its land holdings during each of the next
three years to satisfy the debt on such land as it matures. If ARI is unable to
sell at least the minimum amount of land to satisfy the debt obligations on
such land as it matures, or, if it was not able to extend such debt, ARI would
either sell other of its assets to pay such debt or return the property to the
lender.

Management reviews the carrying values of ARI's properties and mortgage notes
receivables at least annually and whenever events or a change in circumstances
indicate that impairment may exist. Impairment is considered to exist if, in
the case of a property, the future cash flow from the property (undiscounted
and without interest) is less than the carrying amount of the property. For
notes receivable impairment is considered to exist if it is probable that all
amounts due under the terms of the note will not be collected. In those
instances where impairment is found to exist, a provision for loss is recorded
by a charge against earnings. ARI's mortgage note receivable review includes an
evaluation of the collateral property securing such note. The property review
generally includes selective property inspections, a review of the property's
current rents compared to market rents, a review of the property's expenses, a
review of maintenance requirements, a review of the property's cash flow,
discussions with the manager of the property and a review of properties in the
surrounding area.

Commitments and Contingencies
- -----------------------------

In March 1999, ARI reached an agreement with the Class A unitholders of Valley
Ranch, L.P. to acquire their eight million Class A units for $1.00 per unit. In
1999, three million units were purchased. Additionally, one million units were
purchased in January 2000 and two million units were purchased in May 2001. ARI
has committed to purchase the remaining two million units in May 2002.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, ARI reported net income of $9.7 million,
compared to the net loss of $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
The primary factors contributing to ARI's net income are discussed in the
following paragraphs.

Pizza parlor sales and cost of sales were $8.7 million and $7.1 million,
respectively, in the three months ended June 30, 2001 and $16.6 million and
$13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 approximating the $8.4
million and $6.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2000
and $16.3 million and $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

Rents decreased to $32.8 million and $66.0 million in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2001, from $35.4 million and $70.5 million in 2000. Rents from
commercial properties increased to $16.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 2001, from $16.5 million in 2000, rent from hotels increased to $17.7
million in the six months ended June 30, 2001, from $16.5 million in 2000 and
rent from apartments decreased to $31.2 million in the six months ended June 30,
2001, from $36.3 million in 2000. The increase in hotel property rents was
primarily attributable to the opening of the Hotel Sofia in 2001 and the
decrease in apartment rent was due to the sale of nine apartments in 2000.
Rental income is expected to decrease significantly in the remainder of 2001 as
a result of the income producing properties sold in 2000 and 2001.

Property operations expense increased to $25.6 million and $49.1 million in the
three and six months ended June 30, 2001, from $22.7 million and $46.7 million
in 2000. Property operations expense for commercial properties of $10.0 million
in the six months ended June 30, 2001, approximated the $9.9 million in 2000.
For hotels, property operations expense increased to $15.9 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2001, from $11.5 million in 2000. For land, property
operations expense decreased to $4.5 million in the six months ended June 30,
2001 from $4.9 million in 2000. For apartments, property operations expense
decreased to $18.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001, from $20.4
million in 2000. The increase in hotel property operations expense was
primarily due to the opening of the Hotel Sofia in 2001. The decrease for land
was primarily due to the 13 land parcels sold in 2000. The decrease in property
operations expense for apartments was due to the sale of nine apartments in
2000. Property operations expense is expected to decrease significantly in the
remainder of 2001 as a result of the properties sold in 2000 and 2001.

Interest income from notes receivable increased to $776,000 and decreased to
$1.2 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 from $772,000 and
$3.0 million in 2000. The six month decrease is due to the collection of
mortgage receivables and their related interest at maturity in 2000 and 2001.

Other income increased to $44,000 and $77,000 in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001 from losses of $288,000 and $187,000 in the

three and six months ended June 30, 2000. ARI recognized an unrealized decrease
in market value of its trading portfolio securities of $13,000 in the six months
ended June 30, 2001 compared to $127,000 in 2000. See NOTE 6. "MARKETABLE
EQUITY SECURITIES - TRADING PORTFOLIO."

Interest expense decreased to $19.1 million and $37.2 million in the three and
six months ended June 30, 2001 from $20.4 million and $40.6 million in 2000. The
decrease was attributable to the sale of nine apartments and 13 parcels of land
in 2000. In the remainder of 2001, interest expense is expected to continue to
decrease due to the properties sold in 2000 and 2001.

Depreciation expense of $4.6 million and $8.7 million in the three and six
months ended June 30, 2001, approximated the $4.5 million and $8.9 million in
2000.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $1.6 million and $4.5 million
in the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, from $4.7 million and $8.8
million in 2000. The decrease is primarily attributable to reduced consulting
and partnership fees, and reduced cost reimbursements paid to the advisor.

Advisory fees increased to $2.3 million and $3.5 million in the three and six
months ended June 30, 2001 from $1.3 million and $2.6 million in 2000. The
increase is due to the addition of the National Realty, L.P. assets to the
advisory fee basis.

Net income fee to affiliate was $1.8 million in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001. The income fee payable to ARI's advisor is 10% of the net income
for the year, in excess of a 10% return on shareholders' equity.

Incentive fee to affiliate was $4.3 million and $5.8 million in the three and
six months ended June 30, 2001. The incentive fee payable to ARI's advisor is
10% of the excess of net capital gains over net capital losses realized from
sales of assets. Incentive fees are expected to increase as ARI selectively
sells properties.

Minority interest decreased to $(95,000) and $1.5 million in the three and six
months ended June 30, 2001, from $17.9 million and $27.3 million in 2000. The
decrease is attributable to the acquisition of National Realty, L.P. by ARI in
August 2000.

Equity in income of investees increased to $5.7 million and $5.7 million in the
three and six months ended June 30, 2001, from $94,000 and $296,000 in 2000. The
increase in equity income was attributable to the loss associated with the sale
of TCI and IORI stock in 2000 and gains from property sales by TCI in 2001.

24
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
- ------- -----------------------------------------------------------
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
-------------------------


Tax Matters
- -----------

Financial statement income varies from taxable income principally due to the
accounting for income and losses of investees, gains and losses from asset
sales, depreciation on owned properties, amortization of discounts on notes
receivable and payable and the difference in the allowance for estimated losses.
ARI had no taxable income or provision for income taxes in the six months ended
June 30, 2001 or 2000. A deferred tax liability equal to the deferred tax asset
has been provided due to the uncertainty of the future utilization of the
deferred tax asset.


Environmental Matters
- ---------------------

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, ARI 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 ARI's business, assets or
results of operations.


Inflation
- ---------

The effects of inflation on ARI's operations are not quantifiable. Revenues
from apartment operations fluctuate proportionately with inflationary increases
and decreases in housing costs. Fluctuations in the rate of inflation also
affect the sales values of properties and the ultimate gains to be realized from
property sales. To the extent that inflation affects interest rates, earnings
from short-term investments and the cost of new borrowings as well as the cost
of variable interest rate debt will be affected.
