have been antidilutive.

Options to purchase 25,000 of TCI's Common Stock were excluded in the
computation of diluted earnings available to common shares for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2001 because the effect would be antidilutive.

                     TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

TCI is a Nevada corporation and successor to a California business trust which
was organized on September 6, 1983. TCI invests in real estate through direct
ownership, leases and partnerships. TCI also invests in mortgage loans on real
estate.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. Dollar amounts in tables are in thousands, except per share amounts.

Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial
Statements and notes included in TCI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2001 (the "2001 Form 10-K").

Certain balances for 2001 have been reclassified to conform to the 2002
presentation.

On January 1, 2002, TCI adopted Statement 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"). The Statement superceded
Statement 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS No. 121") and Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and
Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" ("APB 30"), for business
segments that are to be disposed. SFAS 144 retains the requirements of SFAS No.
121 relating to the recognition and measurement of an impairment loss and
resolves certain implementation issues resulting from SFAS No. 121. The adoption
of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
position or results of operations of TCI.

The financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been amended to revise
the presentation of discontinued operations, pursuant to SFAS No. 144. The
revision had no impact on the net income (loss) for the periods reported.

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Correction"
("SFAS No. 145"). Statement 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment
of Debt" ("SFAS No. 4"), required that gains and losses from the extinguishment
of debt that were included in the determination of net income be aggregated and,
if material, classified as an extraordinary item. The provisions of SFAS No. 145
related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 will require TCI to reclassify

                                       9

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

prior period items that do not meet the extraordinary classification. The
provisions of SFAS No. 145 that relate to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 become
effective in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No.
145 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial
position or results of operations of TCI.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities," which addresses accounting for restructuring
and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance,
principally Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3. TCI will adopt
the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for restructuring activities initiated after
December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated
with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred.
Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of
a company's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the
liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly,
SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as
well as the amount recognized.

In October 2002, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 147,
"Acquisition of Certain Financial Institutions" ("SFAS No. 147") which clarifies
the accounting treatment for acquisitions of financial institutions. In
addition, the Statement amends SFAS Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," to include in its scope long-term
customer-relationship intangible assets of financial institutions such as
depositor- and borrower-relationship intangible assets and credit cardholder
intangible assets. SFAS No. 147 is effective October 1, 2002. TCI's adoption of
SFAS No. 147 is not expected to have a material impact on TCI's financial
statements.

NOTE 2.  REAL ESTATE (Continued)

In the second quarter of 2002, TCI completed the 252 unit Limestone Ranch in
Lewisville, Texas, and the 165 room Hotel Akademia in Wroclaw, Poland. In the
third quarter of 2002, TCI completed the 80 unit Waters Edge IV Apartments in
Gulfport, Mississippi.

NOTE 3.  NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE

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 cash. Two Hickory owns the 96,217 sq. ft. Two Hickory
Center Office Building in Farmers Branch, Texas. ARI has guaranteed that the
asset shall produce at least a 12% annual return of the purchase price for a
period of three years from the purchase date. If the asset fails to produce the
12% annual return, ARI shall pay TCI any shortfall. In addition, if the asset
fails to produce the 12% return for a calendar year and ARI fails to pay the
shortfall, TCI may require ARI to repurchase the shares of Two Hickory for the
purchase price. Because ARI has guaranteed the 12% return and TCI has the option
of requiring ARI to repurchase the entities, management has classified this
related party transaction as a note receivable from ARI. In June 2002, the asset
was refinanced. TCI received $1.3 million of the proceeds as a principal
reduction on its note receivable from ARI.

Also in January 2002, a mortgage loan with a principal balance of $608,000 was
paid off, including accrued but unpaid interest. With the payoff of the note,
TCI recognized a previously deferred gain on the sale of the property of
$608,000.

In August 2001, TCI agreed to fund up to $5.6 million under a revolving line of
credit secured by an office building in Dallas, Texas. In 2002, TCI funded an
additional $1.8 million of the line of credit. At September 30, 2002, TCI had
funded a total of $3.5 million of the note.

In February 2002, TCI sold a $2.0 million senior participation interest in a
loan with a principal balance of $3.5 million secured by a second lien on a
retail center in Montgomery County, Texas to Income Opportunity Realty
Investors, Inc. ("IORI"), a related party. TCI and IORI will receive 43% and
57%, respectively, of the remaining principal and interest payments. Also in
February 2002, TCI extended the loan until April 2002, receiving $23,000 as an
extension fee. In April 2002, TCI extended the loan until July 2002, receiving
$6,500 as an extension fee. In July 2002, the loan was extended until September
2002 and TCI received $6,500 as an extension fee. In August 2002, the loan was
paid off, including accrued but unpaid interest.

Also in February 2002, TCI funded an additional $231,000 to Sendera Ranch, under
a loan secured by 1,714.16 acres of unimproved land in Tarrant County, Texas. In
March 2002, TCI received a $2.4 million payment from Sendera Ranch. TCI received
$1.8 million as a principal

paydown, $277,000 as accrued interest, and $323,000 as a partnership
distribution. In September 2002, TCI funded an additional $90,000 of the loan.

In March 2002, TCI sold the 174,513 sq.ft. Hartford Office Building in Dallas,
Texas, for $4.0 million and provided the $4.0 million purchase price as seller
financing and an additional $1.4 million line of credit for leasehold
improvements in the form of a mortgage note. The note bears interest at a
variable interest rate, currently 6.0% per annum, requires monthly interest only
payments of $14,667 and matures in March 2007. As of September 2002, TCI has
funded $65,000 of the additional line of credit.

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 owns the 120,615 sq. ft. One Hickory Center Office Building in Farmers
Branch, Texas. Confederate Point owns 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 has guaranteed that these assets shall produce at least a 12% return
annually of the purchase price for a period of three years from the purchase
date. If the assets fail to produce the 12% return, ARI shall pay TCI any
shortfall. In addition, if the assets fail to produce the 12% return for a
calendar year and ARI fails to pay the shortfall, TCI may require ARI to
repurchase the entities for the purchase price. Because ARI has guaranteed the
12% return and TCI has the option of requiring ARI to repurchase the entities,
management has classified this related party transaction as a note receivable
from ARI.

Also in April 2002, a mortgage loan with a principal balance of $155,000 was
paid off, including accrued but unpaid interest.

In July 2002, the Woodsong Apartments were sold. TCI received $2.6 million from
the proceeds as payment of principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the note
receivable.

In May 2002, a mortgage loan with a principal balance of $1.5 million was paid
off, including accrued but unpaid interest. TCI agreed to a 5% discount on the
note and recognized a loss of $75,000 from the note. TCI also recognized a
previously deferred gain of $1.5 million on the sale of the property.

In July 2002, a mortgage loan with a principal balance of $2.2 million was paid
off, including accrued but unpaid interest.

In July 2002, TCI entered into an agreement to fund up to $300,000 under a
revolving line of credit secured by 100% interest in a partnership of

                                       15

the borrower. The line of credit bears interest at 12.0% per annum and requires
monthly interest only payments, and matures in June 2005. As of September 2002,
TCI has funded $75,000 of the line of credit.

In August 2002, a mortgage loan with a principal balance of $4.0 million was
paid off, including accrued but unpaid interest.

In September 2002, TCI sold a 36 acre tract of the Palm Desert land parcel for
$3.6 million and provided $2.7 million as seller financing in the form of a
mortgage note. The note bears interest at 8.0% per annum, requires quarterly
interest only payments of $54,000 and matures in September 2004.

Also in September 2002, TCI received $1.3 million on a non-performing note with
a balance of $1.8 million. With this payment, TCI agreed to release the lien on
44.6 acres of unimproved land in Fort Worth, Texas, substituting a second lien
on 21.61 acres of unimproved land in Tarrant County, Texas, from the borrower to
secure the remaining $689,000 in debt. TCI has also extended the maturity to
November 2002.

NOTE 4.  INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE ENTITIES

Prior to the first quarter of 2002, TCI accounted for its investments in
Tri-City, Nakash and Jor-Trans on the equity method. TCI is a 63.7% limited
partner and IORI is a 36.3% general partner in Tri-City, and TCI is a 60%
general partner and IORI is a 40% limited partner in Nakash. TCI owns a 55%
limited and general partnership interest in Jor-Trans. TCI makes all partnership
operating and policy decisions of the partnerships and TCI has the right to
approve the sale or refinancing of principal assets, or approve the acquisition
of partnership assets. For Tri-City, IORI as general partner only has protective
rights in the partnership. TCI and IORI have the same Board of Directors and the
same executive officers. Consequently, because TCI has a greater than 50%
ownership over the operations of Tri- City, Nakash and Jor-Trans, the operations
of the partnership have been consolidated. In the first quarter of 2002, TCI
began accounting for its investment in Tri-City, Nakash and Jor-Trans using a
consolidated basis. The effect of these consolidations increased TCI's assets,
liabilities, and minority interest by $5.4 million, $3.9 million and $1.5
million, respectively.

TCI's investment in real estate entities at September 30, 2002, included equity
securities of two publicly traded real estate entities, IORI and ARI, related
parties, and interests in real estate joint venture partnerships. Basic Capital
Management, Inc. ("BCM"), TCI's advisor, also serves as advisor to IORI and ARI.

TCI accounts for its investment in IORI and ARI and the joint venture
partnerships using the equity method.

Management continues to believe that the market value of each of IORI and ARI
undervalues their assets and, therefore, TCI may increase its ownership in these
entities.

first nine months of 2002 and 2001.

In April 2002, TCI sold 12 residential properties to partnerships controlled by

unit Oak Park IV Apartments in Clute, Texas; the 131 unit Quail Oaks Apartments
in Balch Springs, Texas; the 300 unit Sunchase Apartments in Odessa, Texas; the
180 unit Timbers Apartments in Tyler, Texas; and the 112 unit Willow Creek
Apartments in El Paso, Texas. Innovo Group, Inc. ("Innovo") is a limited partner
in the partnerships that purchased the properties. Joseph Mizrachi, a director
of ARI, a related party, controls approximately 11.67% of the outstanding common
stock of Innovo. Management has determined to account for this sale as a
refinancing transaction, in accordance with SFAS No. 66, "Accounting for Sales
of Real Estate." TCI will continue to report the assets and the new debt
incurred by the Metra partnerships on the TCI financial statements. The sales
price for the properties totaled $37.6 million. TCI received net cash of $10.5
million after paying off the existing debt of $18.0 million and various closing
costs. The new debt of $30.3 million bears interest at 7.57% per annum, requires
monthly interest only payments of $212,000 and matures in May 2012. TCI also
received $8.0 million of 8% non-recourse, non-convertible Series A Preferred
Stock ("Preferred Shares") of Innovo.

The dividend on the Preferred Shares will be funded entirely and solely through
member distributions from cash flows generated by the operation and subsequent
sale of the sold properties. In the event the cash flows for the properties are
insufficient to cover the 8% annual dividend, Innovo will have no obligation to
cover any shortfall.

The Preferred Shares have a mandatory redemption feature, and are redeemable
from the cash proceeds received by Innovo from the operation and sale of the
properties. All member distributions that are in excess of current and accrued
8% dividends must be used by Innovo to redeem the Preferred Shares. Since
redemption of these shares is subject to the above future events, management has
elected to record no basis in the Preferred Shares.

In August 2002, the lender on three of TCI's Chicago hotel properties notified
TCI that TCI was in default under the provisions of the loan agreement regarding
timely payment and debt service coverage ratio. Management believes payments
have been timely and is negotiating with the lender and expects to resolve the
issues.

NOTE 7. 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 operating income and cash flow. Items of income that are not
reflected in the segments are interest, equity in partnerships and equity gains
on sales of real estate which totaled a loss of $423,000 and income of $3.2
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, and a loss of

$95,000 and income of $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2001. Expenses that are not reflected in the segments are general and
administrative expenses, minority interest, incentive, advisory, net income
fees, provision for losses, and discontinued operations which totaled $3.6
million and $12.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2002, and $5.2 million and $17.4 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001. Also excluded from segment assets are assets of $89.5
million at September 30, 2002, and $103.7 million at September 30, 2001, which
are not identifiable with an operating segment. There are no intersegment
revenues and expenses.

Presented below is the operating income of each operating segment for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and each segment's assets at

NOTE 8.  PROVISION FOR ASSET IMPAIRMENT (Continued)

The Red Cross land is under contract to sell and the sales price was used as
fair value. The fair value determined for four apartments above were agreed upon
purchase prices as part of the refinancing transaction with Metra Capital, LLC.
The costs to sell were actual fees paid to refinance the properties. TCI is in
current negotiations with lenders to refinance the Plantation Apartments.
Lenders will refinance the property at between 80% and 90% of the value of the
property. Currently, the loans are in the range of $2.0 million and $2.4
million.

NOTE 10. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Effective January 1, 2002, TCI adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement 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 the properties
intended to be sold are to be designated as "held-for-sale" on the balance
sheet.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, income from
discontinued operations relates to 15 properties that TCI sold during 2002, 26
properties that TCI sold during 2001, and 11 parcels of

Discontinued operations have not been segregated in the consolidated statements
of cash flows. Therefore, amounts for certain captions will not agree with
respective consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

During the first quarter of 2002, TCI entered into an interest rate swap
agreement with a bank. This agreement contains a notional amount of $12.8
million and requires TCI to pay the bank a fixed rate of 4.3%, and requires the
bank to pay to TCI based on the 30 day LIBOR rate. This agreement was entered
into in order to effectively fix the rate on TCI's debt associated with the
Limestone Canyon property. The swap agreement expires on December 9, 2004.

TCI has not designated the interest rate swap agreement as a hedge, as
defined within Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and as such, changes in the
fair value of the swap agreement are recognized in earnings during the period of
change and reflected in the statement of operations as interest expense.

The fair value of the swap agreement at September 30, 2002 represents a
liability to the Company of $611,000 and is included within other liabilities in
the accompanying balance sheet. Amounts paid or received under the swap
agreement are settled monthly and are reflected as a reduction in the liability
when paid. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, was
increased by $798,000 representing both amounts paid to the bank under the
agreement and increases in the fair value of the related liability.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Liquidity. Management anticipates that TCI will generate excess cash from
operations in 2002 due to increased rental rates and occupancy at its
properties, however, such excess will not be sufficient to discharge all of
TCI's debt obligations as they mature. Management intends to selectively sell
income producing real estate, refinance real estate and incur additional
borrowings against real estate to meet its cash requirements.

Commitments. 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 is subject to
litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Louisiana.

Litigation. TCI is involved in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course
of business. Except for the Olive Litigation (see PART II. OTHER INFORMATION,
ITEM 1. "LEGAL PROCEEDINGS), 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.

NOTE 13. 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.
TCI had a loss for federal income tax purposes in the first three quarters of
2002 and 2001; therefore, it recorded no provision for income taxes.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

TCI invests in real estate through acquisitions, leases and partnerships. TCI
also invests in mortgage loans. TCI is the successor to a business trust
organized on September 6, 1983, and commenced operations on January 31, 1984.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the
presentation of TCI's financial condition and results of operations and require
management's most difficult, complex or subjective judgements. TCI's critical
accounting policies relate to the evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets
and the evaluation of the collectibility of accounts and notes receivable.

                                       24



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

Critical Accounting Policies (Continued)

If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a
rental property to be held and used or land held for development may be
impaired, management performs a recoverability analysis based on estimated
undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the property in the future. If the
analysis indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from future cash
flows the property is written down to estimated fair value and an impairment
loss is recognized. If management decides to sell rental properties or land held
for development, management evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amounts
of the assets. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value is not
recoverable from estimated net sales proceeds, the property is written down to
estimated fair value less costs to sell and an impairment loss is recognized
within income from continuing operations. TCI's estimates of cash flow and fair
values of the properties are based on current market conditions and consider
matters such as rental rates and occupancies for comparable properties, recent
sales data for comparable properties and, where applicable, contracts or the
results of negotiations with purchasers or prospective purchasers. TCI's
estimates are subject to revision as market conditions and TCI's assessments of
them change. In the second and third quarter of 2002, TCI recognized $1.9
million and $700,000 as impairment losses.

TCI's allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and notes receivable is
established based on analysis of the risk of loss on specific accounts. The
analysis places particular emphasis on past due accounts. Management considers
such information as the nature and age of the receivable, the payment history of
the tenant or other debtor, the financial condition of the tenant or other
debtor and TCI's assessment of its ability to meet its lease or interest
obligations. TCI's estimate of the required allowance, which is reviewed on a
quarterly basis, is subject to revision as these factors change and is sensitive
to the effects of economic and market conditions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.7 million at September 30, 2002, compared
with $10.3 million at December 31, 2001. TCI's principal sources of cash have
been and will continue to be from property operations, proceeds from property
sales, the collection of mortgage notes receivable and borrowings. Management
anticipates that TCI's cash on hand, as well as cash generated from property
operations, the sale of properties and the refinancing of certain of TCI's
mortgage debt will be sufficient to meet TCI's cash requirements, including debt
service obligations and expenditures for property maintenance and improvements.

Net cash used in operating activities was $4.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, compared to $3.1 million provided by operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001. The primary factors affecting TCI's cash from
operations are discussed in the following paragraphs.

                                       25



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

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

Cash from property operations (rents collected less payments for expenses
applicable to rental income) was $35.4 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, compared to $44.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. Of this decrease, $5.1 million and $3.1 million was due to
the sale of 22 apartments and 14 commercial properties, respectively. Cash from
property operations also decreased by $1.0 million, $2.0 million and $649,000
from TCI's apartments, commercial properties, and hotels, respectively, due to
decreased occupancies and increased operating expenses. Increases in cash from
property operations of $3.0 million were due to the purchase of nine properties
in 2002 and 2001, and the completion of construction projects in 2002.

Interest collected increased to $2.3 million in the nine months ended September
30, 2002, from $1.1 million in 2001. The increase was primarily due to the
funding of seven loans in 2001 and seven loans in 2002.

Interest paid of $30.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
approximated the $30.7 million in 2001.

Advisory, incentive and net income fees paid decreased to $4.3 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $7.8 million in 2001. The decrease
was primarily due to no incentive or net income fees paid in 2002. The incentive
fee is equal to 10% of the amount by which the aggregate sales consideration for
all TCI's properties sold during the year exceeds the total cost of the property
plus a simple 8% annual return to TCI's net investment in such property.

General and administrative expenses paid decreased to $7.6 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, from $7.7 million in 2001. This decrease was
mainly due to a decrease in cost reimbursements to the advisor.

In the first nine months of 2002, TCI sold seven apartments, one warehouse, one
shopping center, five office buildings and a 36 acre land parcel for a total of
$82.1 million, receiving net cash of $29.2 million after the payoff of existing
debt and the payment of various closing costs.

Also in the first nine months of 2002, TCI financed or refinanced an industrial
warehouse, seven land parcels and 16 apartments for a total of $50.6 million,
receiving $12.8 million in cash after the payment of various closing costs.

Further in the first nine months of 2002, TCI purchased four parcels of
unimproved land for apartment construction, one shopping center, one office
building and eight parcels of unimproved land for a total of $92.6 million. TCI
paid $6.0 million in cash, including various closing costs, assumed existing
mortgage debt of $56.4 million and acquired new debt of $5.6 million for the
purchases. TCI also expended $54.7 million

                                       26



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

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

on property construction, of which $51.0 million was funded by debt. For the
remainder of 2002 and the first half of 2003, TCI expects to expend an
additional $92.4 million on property construction projects, of which $85.0
million will be funded by debt.

Also in the first nine months of 2002, TCI advanced funds to affiliated parties,
including its advisor, for a total of $55.5 million. For this funding, TCI
received 12% return guarantees for $14.4 million, and real estate valued at
$79.3 million and assumed the existing debt of $55.0 million, leaving $16.8
million of advances still outstanding and owed to TCI.

In the fourth quarter of 2002, TCI financed three parcels of unencumbered land
for $7.0 million, receiving $6.9 million cash after the payment of various
closing 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
mortgage note receivable review includes an evaluation of the collateral
property securing each note. The property review generally includes: (1)
selective property inspections; (2) a review of the property's current rents
compared to market rents; (3) a review of the property's expenses; (4) a review
of maintenance requirements; (5) a review of the property's cash flow; (6)
discussions with the manager of the property; and (7) a review of properties in
the surrounding area.

Results of Operations

TCI had net income of $1.8 million and a net loss of $1.4 million in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2002, including gains on sale of real estate
totaling $13.7 million and $26.4 million, compared to net income of $11.1
million and $25.7 million in the corresponding periods in 2001, including gains
on sale of real estate totaling $17.7 million and $43.6 million. Fluctuations in
this and other components of revenues and expense between the 2002 and 2001
periods are discussed below.

Rents in the three months ended September 30, 2002, increased to $28.8 million
compared to $25.7 million in 2001. Of this increase, $3.2 million was due to the
purchase of five existing apartments, one office building and one shopping
center in 2002 and 2001. Occupancies for TCI's apartments, commercial properties
and hotels decreased to 92%, 75% and 40%, respectively, in the three months
ended September 30, 2002, from 93%, 81% and 53% in 2001.

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

Results of Operations (Continued)

Rents in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, decreased to $82.4 million
compared to $93.6 million in 2001. This decrease is primarily due to the 26
properties sold during 2002, in addition to lower occupancies for TCI's
apartments, commercial properties and hotels which decreased to 91%, 78% and 40%
compared to 94%, 80% and 53% in 2001. Rents are expected to remain constant or
decrease in the remaining quarter of 2002.

Property operations expense increased to $19.7 million in the nine month period
ended September 30, 2002, compared to $15.4 million in 2001. Of this increase,
$1.4 million was due to the completion of the two apartments and the Hotel
Akademia in 2002, $1.5 million was due to the purchase of five existing
apartments in 2001 and $1.1 million was due to the purchase of two commercial
properties in 2002. Property operations expenses for TCI's apartments increased
by $137,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2002. Property operations
expenses for TCI's commercial properties increased by $155,000 in the three
months ended September 30, 2002. Property operations expenses for TCI's land
properties increased by $305,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2002.
These increases were offset by decreases of $114,000 due to decreases in
occupancies from the U.S. hotels. Property operations expenses for the remaining
quarter of 2002 is expected to increase as TCI continues to upgrade its
apartments and improve its commercial leasing potential.

Interest and other income was $756,000 and $2.8 million in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $1.0 million and $2.3 million in
2001. The decrease for the quarter was due to the payoff of four loans in the
period, and the nine month increase was primarily due to TCI funding seven loans
in 2001 and seven loans in 2002. Interest income for the remaining quarter of
2002 is expected to significantly decrease due to the payoff of four performing
loans in the third quarter of 2002.

Equity in losses of investees increased to $1.2 million and $2.7 million in the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $1.0 million and $516,000 in
2001. The increase in losses from equity investees is primarily attributed to
increased operating losses at ARI.

Interest expense increased to $11.4 million in the three months ended September
30, 2002, from $7.8 million in 2001. Of this increase, $3.5 million was due to
the purchase of 14 properties subject to debt in 2002 and 2001, $611,000 was due
to an interest swap agreement at the Limestone Canyon Apartments and $43,000 due
to the refinancing of 14 apartments in 2002.

Interest expense decreased to $28.2 million in the nine months ended September
30, 2002, compared to $29.1 million in 2001. Of this decrease, $930,000 was
due to lower variable interest rates and principal paydowns at TCI's apartments
and commercial properties,

respectively. Interest expense for the remaining quarter of 2002 may increase
due to the financing of unencumbered land and refinancing of properties.

Depreciation expense increased to $4.8 million and $14.1 million in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $3.9 million and $13.4 million in
2001. Of these increases, $464,000 and $1.0 million were due to the purchase of
eight properties subject to depreciation in 2002 and 2001 and $246,000 and
$437,000 were due to the completion of the two apartments and Hotel Akademia in
2002. Increases of $328,000 were due to building and tenant improvements at
TCI's commercial properties for the three months ended September 30, 2002.
Depreciation expense for the remaining quarter of 2002 is expected to increase
as TCI completes its apartment construction projects.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, TCI recorded asset
impairments of $700,000 and $1.9 million representing the write down of certain
operating properties to current estimated fair value. These assets include the
following properties:

The Red Cross land is under contract to sell and the sales price was used as
fair value. The fair value determined for four apartments above were agreed upon
purchase prices as part of the refinancing transaction with Metra Capital, LLC.
The costs to sell were actual fees paid to refinance the properties. TCI is in
current negotiations with lenders to refinance the Plantation Apartments.
Lenders will refinance the property at between 80% and 90% of the value of the
property. Currently, the loans are in the range of $2.0 million and $2.4
million.

Advisory fee was $1.5 million and $4.2 million in the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2002, compared to $1.3 million and $4.2 million in 2001. The
increase for the quarter was due to an increase in TCI's gross assets, the basis
for such fee. Advisory fees will decrease with decreases in TCI's gross assets.

Net income fee to affiliate was $946,000 and $2.1 million in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2001. The net income fee is payable to TCI's advisor
based on 7.5% of TCI's net income. TCI had a net loss for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 and no such fee has been accrued.

Results of Operations (Continued)

Incentive fee to affiliate was $1.3 million and $2.9 million in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2001. The incentive fee is payable to TCI's
advisor based on 10% of aggregate sales consideration less TCI's cost of all
properties sold during the year. In the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
the criteria for the fee has not been met.

General and administrative expenses were $2.3 million and $6.7 million in the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $1.7 million and
$7.6 million in 2001. The quarter increase was mainly due to increased
insurance, office rent, and legal fees. The year to date decrease was mainly due
to a decrease in advisor cost reimbursements and other professional fees.

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, 2001 and 2002, each
Independent Director was granted an option to purchase 5,000 Common shares at an
exercise price of $8.875 and $16.05, respectively, per common share. In February
2002, TCI purchased 20,000 options outstanding from retired directors R. Douglas
Leonhard and Edward Zampa for $82,000. In July 2002, Ted Stokely and Martin
White exercised their options for 15,000 shares. Currently, no options are
outstanding.

In the three and nine months of 2002, gains on sale of real estate totaling
$13.7 million and $26.4 million were recognized. In the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2001, gains on sale of real estate totaling $18.8 million
and $47.5 million were recognized. See NOTE 2. "REAL ESTATE."

Related Party Transactions

Historically, TCI, ARI, BCM and IORI 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

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, TCI received $17,000 and
$51,000 in rent from BCM for BCM's lease at Addison Hanger. BCM owns a corporate
jet that is housed at the hanger and TCI has available space at the hanger.

Property Transactions

In January 2002, TCI purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of ART Two
Hickory Corporation from ARI, for $4.4 million. See NOTE 3. "NOTES AND INTEREST
RECEIVABLE." The purchase price was determined based upon the market value of
the property exchanged, using a market rate multiple of net operating income
("cap rate") of 7.0%. The business purpose of the transaction was for TCI to
make an equity investment in Two Hickory anticipating a profitable return.

In February 2002, TCI sold a $2.0 million senior participation interest in a
loan to IORI. See NOTE 3. "NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE." Management determined
that TCI could benefit from the increase in cash and decrease its notes
receivable outstanding portfolio.

In March 2002, TCI paid cash of $600,000 and received from ARI two parcels of
land, a 24.5 acre tract of Rasor land, a 16.89 acre tract of Lakeshore Villas
land, and the 45,623 sq. ft. Oaktree Village Shopping Center in exchange for the
80,278 sq. ft. Plaza on Bachman Creek Shopping Center. The exchange value prices
for the shopping centers were determined based on a cap rate of 10.5% and the
value for the Rasor and Lakeshore Villas land was determined on appraised rates
of $3.36 and $1.29, respectively, per square foot. The business purpose of the
transaction was for TCI to construct apartments on the Rasor and Lakeshore
Villas land and to give ample value for the property TCI exchanged, the Oaktree
Shopping Center was added to the transaction.

In April 2002, TCI purchased 100% of the following entities from ARI: Garden
Confederate Point, L.P., Garden Foxwood, L.P., Garden Woodsong, L.P. and ART One
Hickory Corporation for $10.0 million. See NOTE 3. "NOTES AND INTEREST
RECEIVABLE." The purchase price for these entities was determined based on a cap
rate of 8.41% for the partnerships and 7.0% for ART One Hickory Corporation. The
business purpose of the transaction was for TCI to make an equity investment in
the entities anticipating a profitable return.

In June 2002, TCI purchased Centura Tower Office Building from ARI for $50.0
million. See NOTE 2. "REAL ESTATE." The purchase price for the Centura Tower was
determined based on appraised value and replacement cost. The business purpose
of the transaction was for TCI to acquire a Class A office building with
significant upside potential anticipating a profitable return.

Also in June 2002, TCI purchased five parcels of unimproved land from ARI: the
Hollywood Casino, Marine Creek, Mason Park, Nashville and Palm Desert land
parcels. See NOTE 2. "REAL ESTATE." The purchase price of the Hollywood Casino
land was determined based on an appraised rate of $9.10 per square foot. The
business purpose of the transaction was for TCI to consolidate its holdings
within the Mercer Crossing development. The purchase price for the Marine Creek,
Mason Park, Nashville and Palm Desert land parcels was determined based on
appraised rates of $2.00, $3.56, $4.00 and $1.48 per square foot, respectively.
The business purpose of the transaction was for TCI to develop apartments on
these four tracts of land.

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.
TCI had a loss for federal income tax purposes in the first nine months of 2002
and 2001; therefore, it recorded no provision for income taxes.

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 and the cost of new financings as well as
the cost of variable interest rate debt, will be affected.

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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

TCI addresses exposure to market risks, principally the market risk of changes
in interest rates, through a controlled program of Risk Management that includes
the use of an interest rate swap agreement on $12.8 million of debt (see NOTE
11. "DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS"). In the event of a 1% variance in the
LIBOR interest rate, the interest expense related to this agreement would be
changed by $260,000 on an annual basis.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)  Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, TCI carried out an
     evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of TCI's
     management, including TCI's Acting Principal Executive Officer and
     Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
     operation of TCI's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange
     Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon the evaluation, TCI's Acting Principal
     Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that TCI's
     disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting him to
     material information relating to TCI (including its consolidated
     subsidiaries) required to be included in TCI's periodic SEC filings.

(b)  There have been no significant changes in TCI's internal controls or in
     other factors that could significantly affect TCI's internal controls
     subsequent to the date TCI carried out this evaluation, including any
     corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
     weaknesses.

                                  CERTIFICATION

I, Ronald E. Kimbrough, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
(Principal Financial and Accounting Officer and Acting Principal Executive
Officer) of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. ("TCI"), certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A of TCI;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
     make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
     statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
     this quarterly report;

3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
     information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
     material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash
     flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
     quarterly report;

4.   I am responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls and
     procedures and have:

     a.   designed such internal controls to insure that material information
          relating to TCI and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to me
          by others within those entities, particularly for the periods
          presented in this quarterly report;

     b.   evaluated the effectiveness of TCI's internal controls as of a date
          within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report; and

     c.   presented in this quarterly report my conclusions about the
          effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on a
          date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report;

5.   I have disclosed to TCI's auditors and Audit Committee of the Board of
     Directors (or persons fulfilling the equivalent function):

     a.   all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
          controls which could adversely affect TCI's ability to record,
          process, summarize, and report financial data and have identified for
          TCI's auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls; and

     b.   any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
          employees who have a significant role in TCI's internal controls; and

                                       36



6.   I have indicated in this quarterly report whether or not there were
     significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could
     significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of my most
     recent evaluation, including corrective actions with regard to significant
     deficiencies and material weaknesses.
