                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in
conformity 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.
Certain balances for 2001 have been reclassified to conform to the 2002
presentation.

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 thereto included in ARI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2001 (the "2001 Form 10-K").

On January 1, 2002, ARI 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 The Statement superceded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 segments of a
business to be disposed of. 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 ARI.

The financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been amended to revise
the presentation of discontinued operations, pursuant to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 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 become effective in fiscal years
beginning after May 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 will not have a
material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations
of ARI.

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. ARI 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.

acquisitions or working capital needs, was secured by all of the outstanding
shares of common stock of American Reserve Life Insurance Company. The loan bore
interest at 10.25% per annum and matured in November 2001. In January 2000,
$100,000 was collected. In November 2001, the maturity date was extended to
November 2004. The collateral was changed to a subordinate pledge of 850,000
shares of ARI Common Stock owned by BCM. The shares are also pledged to a lender
on ARI's behalf. The interest rate was changed to 2% over the prime rate,
currently 6.25% per annum, and the accrued but unpaid interest of $984,000 was
added to the principal. The new principal balance is $5.6 million. All principal
and accrued interest are due at maturity.

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 were 6.5 million barrels of oil and 3.3 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 bore no
interest, and matured in May 2002. Monthly principal payments of $25,000 were
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 bore no
interest, and matured in November 2001. One-half of the principal was paid in
August 2001. The remaining $4.0 million was paid by issuing 3,968.75 shares of
ARI Series F Preferred Stock, which was redeemable quarterly in an amount equal
to 20% of net cash flow from the oil and gas operations. The stock had a
liquidation value of $1,000 per share, and paid no dividends.

In May 2002, ARI sold the leasehold interests for $1.3 million, receiving a note
from the buyer for the purchase price. The note bears interest at 10.0% per
annum, matures in May 2004 and requires monthly payments of principal and
accrued interest. As part of the sale, the notes payable given by ARI for the
purchase of the Operator's Interest ($350,000) and the Working Interests
($250,000) were canceled. The 3,968.75 shares of ARI Series F Preferred Stock
were also returned to ARI and canceled.

NOTE 5.  INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY INVESTEES

Real estate entities. ARI's investment in real estate entities at September 30,
2002, included equity securities of two publicly traded real estate companies,
Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IORI") and 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

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 2002, 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 TCI common stock 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. See ITEM
2. "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS" for discussion of the proposed acquisition of TCI and IORI by ARI.

Set forth below are summarized results of operations of equity investees for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002:

ARI's share of equity investees' loss before gains on the sale of real estate
was $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, and its share of
equity investees' gains on sale of real estate was $14.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002.

NOTE 5. INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY INVESTEES (Continued)

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

Realty Advisors - Korea. In June 2002, ARI purchased BCM's investment in Realty
Advisors - Korea for $6.0 million. The purchase price was based on the fair
value of the interests, which was determined by management and approved by the
respective boards of directors, based on expected management fees that will be
collected. The business purpose of this transaction was to reduce the affiliate
payable owed by BCM to ARI. ARI's receivable from BCM was reduced by $6.0
million, and no cash was paid by ARI.

ART Florida Portfolio II, Ltd. In January 2002, Investors Choice Florida Public
Funds II, in which ART Florida Portfolio II, Ltd. owned an interest, sold Villas
Continental Apartments. ARI received $1.0 million in cash from the sale. ARI's
share of the loss incurred on the sale was $531,000, which is included in loss
on sale of investments in equity investees in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

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 nine months of 2002, ARI did not purchase
or sell any such securities. At September 30, 2002, ARI recognized an unrealized
decrease in the market value of its trading portfolio securities of $28,000.
Unrealized and realized gains and losses on trading portfolio securities are
included in other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

        market rate multiple of net operating income. Rosedale owns the Rosedale
        Towers Office Building. The business purpose of this transaction was for
        IORI to make an equity investment in Rosedale, anticipating a profitable
        return, and for ARI to receive cash for its equity investment.

(5)     TCI, a related party, purchased 100% of the common shares of ART Two
        Hickory Corporation ("Two Hickory"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARI,
        for $4.4 million. The purchase price was determined based upon the
        market value of the property, using a market rate multiple of net
        operating income. Two Hickory owns the Two Hickory Centre Office
        Building. The business purpose of this transaction was for TCI to make
        an equity investment in Two Hickory, anticipating a profitable return,
        and for ARI to receive cash for its equity investment.

(6)     Properties sold to partnerships controlled by Metra Capital, LLC
        ("Metra"). Innovo Group, Inc. ("Innovo") is a limited partner in the
        partnerships that purchased the properties. Joseph Mizrachi, a Director
        of ARI, controls approximately 11.67% of the outstanding common stock of
        Innovo. Management has determined to treat this sale as a refinancing
        transaction. ARI will continue to report the assets and the new debt
        incurred by Metra on its financial statements. ARI also received $6.3
        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.

(7)     TCI, a related party, purchased all of the general and limited
        partnership interests in Garden Confederate Point, L.P. ("Confederate
        Point") from ARI for $1.9 million. The purchase price was determined
        based upon the market value of the property, using a market rate
        multiple of net operating income. Confederate Point owns the Confederate
        Point Apartments. The business purpose of this transaction was for TCI
        to make an equity investment in Confederate Point, anticipating a
        profitable return, and for ARI to receive a return on its equity
        investment.

ARI was in default under the provisions of the loan agreement regarding timely
payment and debt service coverage ratio. ARI is negotiating with the lender and
expects to resolve the issue.

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 5.25% to 24.0%. Margin borrowing totaled $11.0
million at September 30, 2002.

In April 2000, ARI obtained a security loan in the amount of $5.0 million from a
financial institution. ARI received net cash of $4.6 million after paying
various closing costs. The loan bore interest at 1% over the prime rate,
currently 5.25% per annum, required monthly payments of interest and matured in
September 2002. In September 2002, the interest rate was increased to 7.00% per
annum, and the maturity date was extended to February 2003. The loan is secured
by 1,050,000 shares of ARI Common Stock held by BCM, ARI's advisor.

NOTE 8. MARGIN BORROWINGS (Continued)

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 bore 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 common stock owned by ARI and 128,000 shares of
ARI Common Stock owned by One Realco.

In September 2001, ARI obtained a security loan in the amount of $20.0 million
from a financial institution. ARI received net cash of $16.1 million after the
payment of various closing costs and $3.4 million repayment of principal and
accrued interest on an existing loan with the same lender. Of the total loan
amount, $19.5 million bore interest at 24% per annum, while the remaining
$500,000 bore interest at 20% per annum. The loan required monthly payments of
interest only and matured in September 2002. In September 2002, $15.0 million of

secured by 200,000 shares of ARI Common Stock held by BCM, ARI's advisor.

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 nine months ended
September 30, 2002 or 2001.

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. Items of income that are not
reflected in the segments are equity in loss of investees, equity in gain on
sale of real estate by equity investees, loss on sale of investments in equity
investees and other income which totaled $2.0 million and $858,000 for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and $3.4 million and

intersegment revenues and expenses, and ARI conducted all of its business within
the United States, with the exception of Hotel Sofia, which is located in
Bulgaria.

Presented below are ARI's reportable segments operating income for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and segment assets at September

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 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Liquidity. Management expects that cash generated from operations during the
remainder of 2002 will not be sufficient to discharge all of ARI's debt
obligations as they mature. Therefore, 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, two million units were
purchased in May 2001 and one million units were purchased in May 2002. The
remaining one million units were purchased in August 2002.

Litigation. In August 2002, ARI obtained a favorable jury verdict in the legal
action entitled American Realty Trust v. Matisse. However,

                                       26

NOTE 12.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

the judge set aside the jury verdict and imposed a judgment against ARI in
excess of $6.0 million. The judgment is being appealed, and, in the opinion of
ARI's management and legal counsel, there is a reasonable probability that the
adverse judgment will be set aside and the jury verdict reinstated. Therefore,
ARI has not recognized any expense nor established any reserve for this
judgment.

In addition to the Matisse litigation, and the Olive litigation as discussed in
ITEM 2. "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS," 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.

NOTE 13.  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES - ADOPTION OF SFAS 142

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"),
and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141
requires the use of the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of
the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also requires that ARI recognize
acquired intangible assets apart from goodwill if the acquired intangible assets
meet certain criteria. SFAS 141 applies to all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001. It also requires, upon adoption of SFAS 142, that ARI
reclassify the carrying amounts of intangible assets and goodwill based on the
criteria in SFAS 141.

SFAS 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize
goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In
addition, SFAS 142 requires that ARI identify reporting units in order to assess
potential future impairment of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other
existing recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible
assets with an indefinite useful life. SFAS 142 requires that an intangible
asset with an indefinite useful life be tested for impairment in accordance with
specified guidelines. SFAS 142 is required to be applied in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001 to all goodwill and other intangible assets
recognized at that date, regardless of when those assets were initially
recognized. SFAS 142 required ARI to complete a transitional goodwill impairment
test six months from the date of adoption. ARI was also required to reassess the
useful lives of other intangible assets within the first interim quarter after
adoption of SFAS 142.

The adoption of SFAS 141 did not have a material impact on ARI's results of
operations and financial position. ARI adopted SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002, and
accordingly ceased amortizing costs in excess of net assets acquired. In
connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, ARI completed

the first step of the goodwill impairment test during the quarter ended June 30,
2002. Based on the results of this step, ARI believes that the fair value of its
reporting unit that carries goodwill exceeds its carrying amount. Since the
first step of the goodwill impairment test indicates that goodwill is not
impaired, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is not necessary.

NOTE 14.  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

During the first quarter of 2002, ARI entered into an interest rate swap
agreement with a bank. This agreement contains a notional amount of $13.1
million and requires ARI to pay the bank a fixed rate of 4.3%, and requires the
bank to pay to ARI based on the 30 day LIBOR rate. This agreement was entered
into in order to effectively fix the rate on ARI's debt associated with the
Lakeshore Villas property. The swap agreement expires on December 25, 2004.

ARI 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 ARI of $614,000 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
$813,000 representing both amounts paid to the bank under the agreement and
increases in the fair value of the related liability.

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

On October 23, 2001, ARI, TCI, and IORI jointly announced a preliminary
agreement with the plaintiff's legal counsel of the derivative action entitled
Olive et al. V. National Income Realty Trust, et al. for complete settlement of
all disputes in the lawsuit. In February 2002, the court granted final approval
of the proposed settlement. Under the proposal, ARI will acquire all of the
outstanding common shares of IORI and TCI not currently owned by ARI for a cash
payment or shares of ARI preferred stock. ARI will pay $17.50 cash per TCI share
and $19.00 cash per IORI share for the stock held by non-affiliated
stockholders. ARI will issue one share of Series G Preferred Stock with a
liquidation value of $20.00 per share for each share of TCI Common Stock for
stockholders who affirmatively elect to receive ARI Preferred Stock in lieu of
cash. ARI will issue one share of Series H Preferred Stock with a liquidation
value of $21.50 per share for each share of IORI Common Stock for stockholders
who affirmatively elect to receive ARI Preferred Stock in lieu of cash. All
affiliated stockholders will receive ARI Preferred Stock. Each share of Series G
Preferred Stock will be convertible into 2.5 shares of ARI Common Stock, and
each share of Series H Preferred Stock will be convertible into 2.25 shares of
ARI Common Stock during a 75-day period that commences fifteen days after the
date of the first ARI Form 10-Q filing that occurs after the closing of the
merger transaction. Upon the acquisition of IORI and TCI shares, TCI and IORI
would become wholly-owned subsidiaries of ARI. The transaction is subject to the
negotiation of a definitive merger agreement and a vote of the shareholders of
all three entities. ARI has

Introduction (Continued)

the same advisor as TCI and IORI, and TCI and IORI have the same board of
directors. Earl D. Cecil, a Director of ARI, is also a Director of TCI and IORI.

On November 7, 2002, ARI announced that it intends to commence, through
subsidiaries, a tender offer for shares of common stock of TCI and IORI. The
price per share to be paid will be $17.50 for TCI shares and $19.00 for IORI
shares. ARI has developed a financing plan, consisting primarily of new debt and
refinancing of existing debt. The tender offers are being made to cure a default
under the settlement resulting from ARI's failure to timely complete the SEC
review process of the registration statement for the proposed mergers with TCI
and IORI. ARI will defer further action on the mergers, pending completion of
the tender offers.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the
presentation of ARI's financial condition and results of operations and require
management's most difficult, complex or subjective judgements. ARI'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.

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. ARI'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. ARI's
estimates are subject to revision as market conditions and ARI's assessments of
them change.

ARI'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
the information such 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 ARI's assessment

of its ability to meet its lease or interest obligations. ARI'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

General. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2002, totaled $3.3 million,
compared with $709,000 at December 31, 2001. Although ARI anticipates that
during the remainder of 2002 it will generate cash from operations, as discussed
below, such excess cash is not sufficient to discharge all of ARI's debt
obligations as they mature. ARI will therefore again rely on externally
generated funds, including aggressive land sales, selected sales of income
producing properties, borrowings against its investments in various real estate
entities, 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, 2001, notes payable totaling $267.5 million had either scheduled
maturities or required principal reduction payments during 2002. During the
first nine months of 2002, ARI either extended, refinanced, paid down, paid off
or received commitments from lenders to extend or refinance $180.2 million of
the debt scheduled to mature in 2002.

Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $32.2 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, from $39.2 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. 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) increased to $26.9 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 from $19.1 million in 2001. The increase was primarily
attributable to a decline in the payments for operating expenses in 2002 from an
elevated level in 2001, when there was a significant paydown of accounts
payable. ARI expects a decrease in cash flow from property operations during the
remainder of 2002. 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) increased to $4.9
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $4.3 million in 2001.
The increase was primarily attributable to the opening of three new stores
during 2001.

No net cash was used in oil and gas operations (sales collected less payments
for lease operating expenses) in the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
compared to a use of $175,000 in 2001. See NOTE 4. "OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS."

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

Interest collected increased to $979,000 in the nine months ended September 30,
2002, from $397,000 in 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to the
collection of $542,000 in past due interest.

Interest paid decreased to $42.6 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2002, from $45.7 million in 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to
reduced mortgage balances as a result of property sales.

Advisory fees paid of $4.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
approximated the $5.0 million in 2001.

No incentive fees were paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
compared to $1.6 million in 2001.

General and administrative expenses paid increased to $9.8 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 from $9.1 million in 2001. The increase is
primarily attributable to an increase in legal fees.

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 first nine months of 2002 and 2001. 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 $5.7 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, compared to other cash from operations of $1.2 million
in 2001. The change was primarily attributable to a $2.7 million increase in
escrow deposits in 2002 compared to a $3.5 million decrease in 2001.

In the first nine months of 2002, ARI received a total of $5.5 million on the
collection of three mortgage notes receivable and partial paydown of three
mortgage notes receivable.

In 2002, ARI purchased the following property:

(3)  $10.1 million funded at September 30, 2002.

(4)  IORI, a related party, purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of
     Rosedale Corporation ("Rosedale"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARI, for
     $5.1 million. The purchase price was determined based upon the market value
     of the property, using a market rate multiple of net operating income.
     Rosedale owns the Rosedale Towers Office Building. The business purpose of
     this transaction was for IORI to make an equity investment in Rosedale,
     anticipating a profitable return, and for ARI to receive cash for its
     equity investment.

(5)  TCI, a related party, purchased 100% of the common shares of ART Two
     Hickory Corporation ("Two Hickory"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARI, for
     $4.4 million. The purchase price was determined based upon the market value
     of the property, using a market rate multiple of net operating income. Two
     Hickory owns the Two Hickory Centre Office Building. The business purpose
     of this transaction was for TCI to make an equity investment in Two
     Hickory, anticipating a profitable return, and for ARI to receive cash for
     its equity investment.

(6)  Properties sold to partnerships controlled by Metra Capital, LLC ("Metra").
     Innovo Group, Inc. ("Innovo") is a limited partner in the partnerships that
     purchased the properties. Joseph Mizrachi, a Director of ARI, controls
     approximately 11.67% of the outstanding common stock of Innovo. Management
     has determined to treat this sale as a refinancing transaction. ARI will
     continue to report the assets and the new debt incurred by Metra on its
     financial statements. ARI also received $6.3 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.

(7)  TCI, a related party, purchased all of the general and limited partnership
     interests in Garden Confederate Point, L.P. ("Confederate Point") from ARI
     for $1.9 million. The purchase

     price was determined based upon the market value of the property, using a
     market rate multiple of net operating income. Confederate Point owns the
     Confederate Point Apartments. The business purpose of this transaction was
     for TCI to make an equity investment in Confederate Point, anticipating a
     profitable return, and for ARI to receive a return for its equity
     investment.

(8)  TCI, a related party, purchased all of the general and limited partnership
     interests in Garden Foxwood, L.P. ("Foxwood") from ARI for $1.1 million.
     The purchase price was determined based upon the market value of the
     property, using a market rate multiple of net operating income. Foxwood
     owns the Foxwood Apartments. The business purpose of this transaction was
     for TCI to make an equity investment in Foxwood, anticipating a profitable
     return, and for ARI to receive a return for its equity investment.

(9)  TCI, a related party, purchased all of the general and limited partnership
     interests in Garden Woodsong, L.P. ("Woodsong") from ARI for $2.5 million.
     The purchase price was determined based upon the market value of the
     property, using a market rate multiple of net operating income. Woodsong
     owns the Woodsong Apartments. The business purpose of this transaction was
     for TCI to make an equity investment in Woodsong, anticipating a profitable
     return, and for ARI to receive a return for its equity investment. TCI sold
     the Woodsong Apartments in July 2002.

(10) Sold to unrelated buyer in June 2002.

(11) TCI, a related party, purchased 100% of the common shares of ART One
     Hickory Corporation ("One Hickory"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARI, for
     $4.5 million. The purchase price was determined based upon the market value
     of the property, using a market rate multiple of net operating income. One
     Hickory owns the One Hickory Centre Office Building. The business purpose
     of this transaction was for TCI to make an equity investment in One
     Hickory, anticipating a profitable return, and for ARI to receive a return
     for its equity investment.

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 5.25% to 24.0%. Margin borrowing totaled $11.0
million at September 30, 2002.

Management expects that it will be necessary for ARI to sell $113.4 million,
$2.8 million and $7.0 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 is not able to extend such debt, ARI would either sell
other of its assets to pay such debt or transfer the property to the lender.

Management reviews the carrying values of ARI'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 to the
extent that the investment in the note exceeds management's estimate of the fair
value of the collateral property securing each note. The mortgage note
receivable review includes an evaluation of the collateral property securing
such note. The property review generally includes: (1) selective property
inspections; (2) a review of the property's current rents compared to market
rents; (3) a review of the property's expenses; (4) a review of maintenance
requirements; (5) a review of the property's cash flow; (6) discussions with the
manager of the property; and (7) a review of properties in the surrounding area.

Commitments and Contingencies

In March 1999, an agreement was reached 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, two million units were purchased in May 2001 and one
million units were purchased in May 2002. The remaining one million units were
purchased in August 2002.

In August 2002, ARI obtained a favorable jury verdict in the legal action
entitled American Realty Trust v. Matisse. However, the judge set aside the jury
verdict and imposed a judgment against ARI in excess of $6.0 million. The
judgment is being appealed, and, in the opinion of ARI's management and legal
counsel, there is a reasonable probability that the adverse judgment will be set
aside and the jury verdict reinstated. Therefore, ARI has not recognized any
expense nor established any reserve for this judgment.

Results of Operations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, ARI reported a net loss of $16.7
million, compared to net income of $12.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. The primary factors contributing to ARI's net loss are
discussed in the following paragraphs.

Rents decreased to $26.5 million and $78.0 million in the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2002, from $29.0 million and $87.8 million in 2001. Rents
from commercial properties increased to $23.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, from $22.6 million in 2001, rent from hotels increased to
$28.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $27.7 million in
2001 and rent from apartments decreased to $25.8 million in the nine months
ended September

         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Results of Operations (Continued)

30, 2002, from $36.9 million in 2001. The increase in commercial property rents
was primarily attributable to increased occupancy, the increase in hotel
property rents was primarily attributable to increases in occupancy and average
rate at Hotel Sofia in 2002 and the decrease in apartment rent was primarily
attributable to the sale of 17 apartments in 2001. Rental income is expected to
decrease in the remainder of 2002 as a result of continued property sales.

Property operations expense decreased to $18.5 million and $55.3 million in the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $19.7 million and $64.5
million in 2001. Property operations expense for commercial properties increased
to $13.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $12.4 million
in 2001. For hotels, property operations expense decreased to $19.7 million in
the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $21.6 million in 2001. For land,
property operations expense decreased to $5.4 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 from $6.7 million in 2001. For apartments, property
operations expense decreased to $16.4 million in the nine months ended September
30, 2002, from $23.6 million in 2001. The increase in commercial property
operations expense was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Plaza on
Bachman Creek in 2002. The decrease in hotel property operations expense was
primarily attributable to the over-estimation of expenses at Hotel Sofia in
2001. The decrease in land property operations expense was primarily
attributable to reduced professional services fees in 2002. The decrease in
apartment property operations expense was primarily attributable to the sale of
17 apartments in 2001. Property operations expense is expected to decrease in
the remainder of 2002 as a result of continued property sales.

Pizza parlor sales and cost of sales increased to $9.3 million and $7.6 million,
respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 2002 and $27.5 million and
$22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $8.7 million and
$7.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and
$25.3 million and $20.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
The increase was primarily attributable to the opening of three new stores in
2001, plus an increase in same-store sales.

Interest income from notes receivable of $509,000 and $1.9 million in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2002 approximated the $837,000 and $2.0
million in 2001.

Equity in loss of investees decreased to $(4.8) million and $(14.0) million in
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $(3.1) million and
$(8.4) million in 2001. The decrease was attributable to increased net losses
for TCI and IORI in 2002.

Loss on the sale of investments in equity investees increased to $531,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $387,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. See NOTE 5. "INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY INVESTEES."

         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Results of Operations (Continued)

Equity in gain on sale of real estate by equity investees decreased to $6.6
million and $14.9 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002,
from $6.6 million and $18.0 million in 2001. The 2001 results are reported as a
component of net income (loss) from continuing operations, while the 2002
results are reported as a component of net income (loss) from discontinued
operations.

Other income increased to $190,000 and $516,000 in the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2002 from $(19,000) and $58,000 in the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to service fee
income and dividends on and redemption of Innovo Preferred Stock. See NOTE 2.
"REAL ESTATE" and NOTE 7. "NOTES PAYABLE."

Interest expense decreased to $13.7 million and $45.8 million in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $17.1 million and $49.8 million in
2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to the sale of 17 apartments in
2001. Also in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, ARI recognized
$813,000 loss on an interest rate swap contract. See NOTE 14. "DERIVATIVE
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS."

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $3.4 million and $9.9 million
in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $3.7 million and
$10.7 million in 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to the sale of 17
apartments in 2001.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $3.3 million in the three
months ended September 30, 2002 from $4.6 million in 2001, and increased to $9.8
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $9.1 million in 2001.
The three month decrease was primarily attributable to reduced cost
reimbursements paid to the advisor. The nine month increase was primarily
attributable to increased legal fees.

Advisory fees of $1.6 million and $4.8 million in the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2002 approximated the $1.4 million and $5.0 million in 2001.

There was no net income fee to affiliate in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2002 compared to $(1.1) million and $638,000 in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2001. The income fee payable to ARI's advisor is 10%
of the annualized net income for the year, in excess of a 10% return on
shareholders' equity. At September 30, 2002, ARI's annualized net income is
below the 10% return threshold.

There was no incentive fee to affiliate in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2002 compared to $1.6 million and $7.5 million in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2001. The incentive fee is only due if ARI is
also subject to the net income fee. At September 2002, the net income fee
requirements are not met; therefore, no

incentive fee is due. This fee represents 10% of the excess of net capital gains
over net capital losses from sales of operating properties. The amount of this
fee for the remainder of 2002 will be dependent on the number of operating
properties sold, the net capital gains realized and whether the net income fee
is due.

Minority interest decreased to $436,000 and $2.0 million in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2002, from $1.0 million and $2.5 million in 2001. The
decrease is attributable to the repurchase of partnership units by ARI in 2001
and 2002.

Writedown of assets held for sale was $445,000 in the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2002. There was no asset writedown in 2001. The carrying
value of a shopping center in Fort Worth, Texas, sold in the fourth quarter of
2002, was reduced to its net realizable value.

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 ARI as could have been obtained from unrelated parties.

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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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

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

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

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 ARI 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 ARI'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 ARI'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 ARI's ability to record,
          process, summarize, and report financial data and have identified for
          ARI'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 ARI's internal controls; and

                                       44

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.
