MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Introduction Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (the "Company") invests in real estate through direct ownership, leases and partnerships and has invested in mortgage loans, including first, wraparound and junior mortgage loans. The Company is no longer seeking to fund or acquire new mortgage loans other than those which it may originate in conjunction with providing purchase money financing of a property sale.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash and cash equivalents aggregated $5.0 million at June 30, 1997 compared with $960,000 at December 31, 1996.

11 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued) notes receivable and borrowings. The Company anticipates that its cash on hand, as well as cash generated from the collection of mortgage notes receivable, sales of properties, borrowings against certain of the Company's unencumbered properties and refinancing or extensions of certain of its mortgage debt will be sufficient to meet all of the Company's cash requirements including debt service obligations and expenditures for property maintenance and improvements. In the first six months of 1997, the Company paid dividends of $.14 per share, or a total of $546,000. The Company's Board of Directors has approved the Company's repurchase of a total of 458,000 shares of its Common Stock.

The Company is not currently able to estimate the amount of such proceeds that will be expended to complete repairs to the building. In January 1997, the Company refinanced the mortgage debt secured by 74 New Montgomery, an office building in San Francisco, California in the amount of $6.3 million. The Company received net cash of $1.0 million after the payoff of $5.2 million in existing mortgage debt and the payment of various closing costs associated with the refinancing. Also in January 1997, the Company refinanced the mortgage debt secured by the Woods Edge Apartments in Rockville, Maryland in the amount of $6.2 million. The Company received no net cash. The refinancing proceeds were used to payoff $5.9 million in existing mortgage debt, fund a tax escrow and to pay various closing costs associated with the refinancing. In February 1997, the Company refinanced the mortgage debt secured by the Spa Cove Apartments in Annapolis, Maryland in the amount of $12.2 million.

The Company received net cash of $3.0 million after the payoff of $90,000 in existing mortgage debt secured by the Fiesta Mart and the payment of various closing costs associated with the sales. 11
12 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued) In March 1997, the Company purchased (i) the Crescent Place, an apartment complex in Houston, Texas for $2.3 million, consisting of $500,000 in cash and new mortgage financing of $1.8 million, (ii) the Savings of America Building, an office building in Houston, Texas, for $1.6 million in cash and (iii) Terrace Hills, an apartment complex in El Paso, Texas, for $6.2 million consisting of $1.4 million in cash and new mortgage financing of $4.8 million. Also in March 1997, the Company refinanced the mortgage debt secured by President's Square, a shopping center in San Antonio, Texas. The Company received net cash of $600,000 after the payoff of $1.2 million in existing mortgage debt and the payment of various closing costs associated with the refinancing. In April 1997, the Company sold a foreclosed single family residence in Scottsdale, Arizona, for $778,000 in cash. In May 1997, the Company purchased (i) the Treehouse Apartments, an apartment complex in Irving, Texas, for $3.4 million in cash and (ii) the Villas at Countryside, an apartment complex in Sterling, Virginia, for $6.3 million, consisting of $1.1 million in cash and the assumption of the existing mortgage of $5.2 million. Also in May 1997, the Company accepted a discounted early payoff of $2,075,000 in settlement of a mortgage note receivable with a principal balance of $2,110,000. In June 1997, the Company obtained mortgage financing secured by the previously unencumbered Treehouse Apartments in the amount of $2.8 million. The Company received net cash of $2.3 million after funding required tax, insurance and repair escrows and the payment of various closing costs associated with the financing. The Company's management reviews the carrying values of the Company'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. In those instances where impairment is found to exist, a provision for loss is recorded by a charge against earnings. The Company'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. 12
13 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Results of Operations The Company's net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 was $1.0 million and $1.2 million as compared to a net loss of $4.0 million and $5.0 million in the corresponding periods in 1996. Net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 includes gains on sale of real estate of $55,000 and $1.5 million, respectively. The 1996 net loss includes an extraordinary gain of $48,000, gains on sales of real estate of $1.7 million and a provision for loss of $1.6 million. Fluctuations in these and other components of the Company's revenues and expenses between the 1996 and 1997 periods are discussed below. Rents in the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 were $13.3 million and $25.4 million compared to $11.0 million and $22.1 million in the corresponding periods in 1996. Of the increases, $970,000 and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 relates to an increase in rental rates at the Company's commercial properties, $65,000 and $301,000 relates to a decrease in discounts and concessions given primarily at the Company's office buildings, and $1.6 million and $2.2 million is due to the acquisition of ten properties subsequent to June 30, 1996. These increases are partially offset by decreases of $235,000 and $695,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 due to the sale of three properties subsequent to June 30, 1996. Rents are expected to continue to increase due to a full year of revenue from properties acquired in 1996 and 1997. Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 of $364,000 and $773,000 was comparable to the $353,000 and $765,000 for the corresponding periods in 1996. Interest income for the remaining six months of 1997 is expected to be comparable to that of the first six months of 1997. Property operations expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 was $7.8 million and $15.0 million as compared to $6.9 million and $14.3 million in the corresponding periods in 1996. Of the increases, $1.1 million and $1.6 million is due to the acquisition of ten properties subsequent to June 30, 1996. These increases are partially offset by decreases of $189,000 and $487,000 due to the sale of three properties subsequent to June 30, 1996 and $164,000 and $562,000 is due to a decrease in operating expenses at Republic Towers. Property operating expenses are expected to increase due to a full year of operations from properties acquired in 1996 and 1997. Interest expense increased from $3.7 million and $7.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 to $3.9 million and $7.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. Of the increases, $175,000 and $205,000 is due to the debt incurred on four of ten properties acquired subsequent to June 30, 1996 and $65,000 and $236,000 is due to refinancings and financing obtained on properties previously unencumbered. These increases are partially offset by decreases of $3,000 and $68,000 due to properties sold subsequent to June 30, 1996. Interest expense for the remaining six months of 1997 is expected to be comparable to that of the first six months of 1997. 13
14 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Results of Operations (Continued) Depreciation expense increased to $2.4 million and $4.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $2.1 million and $4.2 million in the corresponding periods in 1996. The increases are due to the acquisition of ten properties subsequent to June 30, 1996 with five of the properties being acquired in the first six months of 1997. The increases are partially offset by the sale of three properties in 1997. Depreciation is expected to continue to increase during the remaining six months of 1997 as a result of a full year of depreciation on the properties acquired in 1996 and the properties acquired in 1997. Advisory fees increased to $491,000 and $956,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $468,000 and $946,000 in the corresponding periods in 1996. Advisory fees are expected to continue to increase with increases in the Company's gross assets, the basis for such fee, as a result of property acquisitions in 1997. General and administrative expenses increased to $647,000 and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $567,000 and $1.1 million in the corresponding periods in 1996. The increases are mainly due to legal fees related to Republic Towers litigation and an increase in other professional fees. Equity in earnings of investees was income of $429,000 and $777,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to a loss of $1,000 and $46,000 for the corresponding periods in 1996. Included in equity earnings of investees for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 are gains on sale of real estate of $416,000 and $747,000, the Company's equity share of the gains recognized by Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IORI") on the sale of two of its apartment complexes. At August 1, 1997, the Company owned approximately 22.5% of IORI's outstanding shares of common stock. In the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company recognized gains totaling $1.5 million on the sale of (i) the Fiesta Mart, a shopping center, (ii) a parcel of land in the Dallas central business district, both of which were under contract for sale at December 31, 1996 and (iii) a foreclosed single family residence. In the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company recognized gains of $1.7 million on the sales of Cheyenne Mountain land and Park Forest Apartments. In the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain of $48,000 on the paydown of the mortgage debt secured by the Dunes Plaza, a shopping center. No such gain was recognized in 1997. Tax Matters As more fully discussed in the Company's 1996 Form 10-K, the Company has elected and, in the opinion of the Company's 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, (the "Code"). To continue to qualify for federal taxation as 14
15 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Tax Matters (Continued) a REIT under the Code, the Company is required to hold at least 75% of the value of its total assets in real estate assets, government securities, cash and cash equivalents at the close of each quarter of each taxable year. The Code also requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its REIT taxable income, plus 95% of its net income from foreclosure property, all as defined in Section 857 of the Code, on an annual basis to stockholders. Inflation The effects of inflation on the Company's operations are not quantifiable. Revenues from property operations generally fluctuate proportionately with inflationary increases and decreases in housing costs. Fluctuations in the rate of inflation also affect the sales values of properties, and correspondingly, the ultimate gains to be realized by the Company from property sales. To the effect that inflation affects interest rates, the Company's earnings from short-term investments and the cost of new financings as well as the cost of its variable note financing will be affected. Environmental Matters Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, the Company 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 from the Company for personal injury associated with such materials. The Company's management is not aware of any environmental liability relating to the above matters that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, assets or results of operations. ----------------------- PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Olive Litigation. In February 1990, the Company, together with Continental Mortgage and Equity Trust ("CMET"), Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IORI") and National Income Realty Trust, three real estate entities with, at the time, the same officers, directors or trustees and advisor as the Company, entered into a settlement of a 15
16 ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (Continued) class and derivative action entitled Olive et al. v. National Income Realty Trust et al. pending before the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and relating to the operation and management of each of the entities (the "Olive Litigation"). On April 23, 1990, the court granted final approval of the terms of a Stipulation of Settlement. On May 4, 1994, the parties entered into a Modification of Stipulation of Settlement dated April 27, 1994 (the "Olive Modification") that settled subsequent claims of breaches of the settlement that were asserted by the plaintiffs and that modified certain provisions of the April 1990 settlement. The Olive Modification was preliminarily approved by the Court on July 1, 1994, and final court approval was entered on December 12, 1994. The effective date of the Olive Modification was January 11, 1995. The Court retained jurisdiction to enforce the Modification, and during August and September 1996, the Court held evidentiary hearings to assess compliance with the terms of the Modification by various parties. The Court issued no ruling or order with respect to the matters addressed at the hearings. Separately in 1996, legal counsel for the plaintiffs notified the Company's Board of Directors that he intended to assert that certain actions taken by the Board of Directors breached the terms of the Modification. On January 27, 1997, the parties entered into an Amendment to the Modification effective January 9, 1997 (the "Amendment"), which was submitted to the Court for approval on January 29, 1997. The Amendment provides for the settlement of all matters raised at the evidentiary hearings and by plaintiffs' counsel in his notices to the Company's Board of Directors. On May 2, 1997, a hearing was held for the Court to consider approval of the Amendment. As a result of the hearing, the parties entered into a revised Amendment. The Court issued an order approving the Amendment on July 3, 1997. The Amendment provides for the addition of four new unaffiliated members to the Company's Board of Directors and sets forth new requirements for the approval of any transactions with certain affiliates until April 28, 1999. In addition, the Company, CMET, IORI and their shareholders released the defendants from any claims relating to the plaintiffs' allegations and matters which were the subject of the evidentiary hearings. The plaintiffs' allegations of any breaches of the Modification shall be settled by mutual agreement of the parties or, lacking such agreement, by an arbitration proceeding. Under the Amendment, all shares of the Company owned by Gene E. Phillips or any of his affiliates shall be voted at all stockholders' meetings held until April 28, 1999 in favor of all new Board members added under the Amendment. The Amendment also requires that, until April 28, 1999, all shares of the Company owned by Gene E. Phillips or his affiliates in excess of forty percent (40%) of the Company's outstanding shares shall be voted in proportion to the votes cast by all non-affiliated shareholders of the Company. 16
