NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE At March 31, 1998, the Company held a wraparound mortgage note secured by a K-Mart in Wake County, North Carolina, with a principal balance of $2.5 million. In February 1998, the Company was informed that the first lien mortgage in the amount of $2.0 million was in default. In order to protect its interest, the Company has instituted foreclosure proceedings. The Company does not expect to incur a loss on foreclosure as the estimated fair value of the property exceeds the carrying value of the note. NOTE 4.

10 ITEM 2. 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 invests in mortgage loans, including first, wraparound and junior mortgage loans. The Company is the successor to a business trust which was organized on September 6, 1983 and commenced operations on January 31, 1984. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash and cash equivalents aggregated $11.8 million at March 31, 1998 compared with $24.7 million at December 31, 1997. The Company's principal sources of cash have been and will continue to be from property operations, proceeds from property sales, the collection of mortgage notes receivable and borrowings. 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 three months of 1998, the Company paid dividends of $.15 per share, or a total of $573,000. In January 1998, the Company also paid a special dividend of $1.00 per share which was declared in December 1997. The Company's Board of Directors has approved the Company's repurchase of a total of 458,000 shares of its Common Stock. Through April 30, 1998, the Company had purchased a total of 406,315 shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $3.3 million. The Company repurchased 10,500 shares at a total cost of $161,000 in the first quarter of 1998. In January 1998, the Company purchased (i) the Mountain Plaza, an apartment complex in El Paso, Texas, for $4.0 million, consisting of $1.0 million in cash and financing $3.0 million, (ii) the Junction, an apartment complex in Midland, Texas, for $2.5 million, consisting of $600,000 in cash and purchase money financing of $1.9 million, (iii) a 1.41 acre parcel of land in Dallas, Texas, for $1.9 million in cash, and (iv) the Bent Tree Garden, an apartment complex in Addison, Texas, for $8.1 million, consisting of $1.7 million in cash and mortgage financing of $6.4 million. In February 1998, the Company purchased (i) the Parkway North, an office building in Dallas, Texas, for $5.4 million, consisting of $1.5 million in cash and mortgage financing of $3.9 million, and (ii) a 2.14 acre parcel of land in Dallas, Texas, for $3.4 million in cash. In March 1998, the Company refinanced the mortgage debt secured by Tricon, eight warehouses in Atlanta, Georgia. The Company received net 10
11 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued) cash of $5.4 million after the payoff of $4.8 million in existing mortgage debt and the payment of various closing costs associated with the refinancing. Also in March 1998, the Company completed the sale of the Shaws Plaza in Sharon, Massachusetts. The Company received net cash of $1.2 million after the payoff of the existing mortgage debt and various closing costs associated with the sale. Further in March 1998, the Company purchased the Plaza on Bachman Creek, a retail/office complex in Dallas, Texas, for $3.5 million, consisting of $1.1 million in cash and new mortgage financing of $2.4 million. 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. Results of Operations The Company's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $1.2 million as compared to a net loss of $166,000 in the corresponding period in 1997. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1997 includes gains on sale of real estate of $1.4 million. Fluctuations in this and other components of the Company's revenues and expenses between the 1997 and 1998 periods are discussed below. Rents in the three months ended March 31, 1998 were $16.1 million compared to $12.1 million in the corresponding period in 1997. Of the increase, $297,000 relates to an increase in rental rates at the Company's commercial properties and $3.8 million is due to the acquisition of twenty-two properties in 1997 and 1998. These increases are partially offset by decreases of $335,000 due to the sale of three properties subsequent to March 31, 1997. Rents are expected to continue to increase due to properties acquired in 1997 and 1998. 11
12 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Results of Operations (Continued) Interest income decreased to $218,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $409,000 in the corresponding period in 1997. This decrease is due to four mortgage notes receivable paid in full in 1997. Interest income for the remainder of 1998 is expected to approximate that of the first quarter of 1998. Property operations expense in the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $8.4 million compared to $7.3 million in the corresponding period in 1997. Of the increases, $2.1 million is due to the acquisition of twenty-two properties in 1997 and 1998. This increase is partially offset by decreases of $769,000 due to the sale of three properties subsequent to March 31, 1997 and $93,000 due to a decrease in property replacement and personnel expenses at the Company's commercial properties. Property operating expenses are expected to continue to increase due to properties acquired in 1997 and 1998. Interest expense increased to $5.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $3.8 million in the corresponding period in 1997. Of the increase, $1.4 million is due to the debt incurred or assumed on twenty of twenty-two properties acquired in 1997 and 1998 and $148,000 is due to refinancings and financing obtained on previously unencumbered properties. These increases are partially offset by a decrease of $44,000 due to properties sold in 1997 and 1998. Interest expense for the remainder of 1998 is expected to be comparable to that of the first quarter of 1998. Depreciation expense increased to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $2.3 million in the corresponding period in 1997. Of this increase, $421,000 is due to the acquisition of twenty-two properties in 1997 and 1998 with seven of the properties being acquired in the first three months of 1998. This increase is partially offset by a decrease of $243,000 due to three properties sold subsequent to March 31, 1997. Depreciation is expected to continue to increase during the remainder of 1998 as a result of depreciation on the properties acquired in 1997 and in 1998. Advisory fees increased to $614,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $465,000 in the corresponding period in 1997. Advisory fees are expected to continue to increase with increases in the Company's gross assets, the basis for such fee. General and administrative expenses of $579,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were comparable to the $617,000 in the corresponding period in 1997. Equity in earnings of investees was a loss of $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to income of $348,000 for the corresponding period in 1997. Included in equity earnings of investees for the three months ended March 31, 1997 is a gain on sale of real 12
13 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Results of Operations (Continued) estate of $416,000, which is the Company's equity share of the gain recognized by Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IORI") on the sale of one of its apartment complexes. At April 30, 1998, the Company owned approximately 22.5% of IORI's outstanding shares of common stock. In the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company recognized a gain of $1.4 million from the sale of a .9976 acre parcel of land in Dallas, Texas. No such gain was recognized in 1998. Tax Matters As more fully discussed in the Company's 1997 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 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. 13
14 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Environmental Matters (Continued) 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.

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 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 Olive Modification, and during August and September 1996, the Court held evidentiary hearings to assess compliance with the terms of the Olive 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 14
15 ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (Continued) actions taken by the Board of Directors breached the terms of the Olive Modification. On January 27, 1997, the parties entered into an Amendment to the Olive Modification effective January 9, 1997 (the "Olive Amendment"), which was submitted to the Court for approval on January 29, 1997. The Olive 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 Olive Amendment. As a result of the hearing, the parties entered into a revised Amendment. The Court issued an order approving the Olive Amendment on July 3, 1997. The Olive 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 Olive Modification shall be settled by mutual agreement of the parties or, lacking such agreement, by an arbitration proceeding. Under the Olive Amendment, all shares of the Company owned by Gene E. Phillips or any of his affiliates shall be voted at all stockholder meetings of the Company held until April 28, 1999 in favor of all new Board members added under the Olive Amendment. The Olive 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. In accordance with the Olive Amendment, Richard W. Douglas, Larry E. Harley and R. Douglas Leonhard were added to the Company's Board of Directors in January 1998 and Murray Shaw was added to the Company's Board of Directors in February 1998. ITEM 6.
