                   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.

The financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been amended to revise
the accounting for gain recognition in connection with a property transaction.
For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the change resulted in a reduction
from net income of $1,205,000 to a net loss of $(8,937,000) and a corresponding
reduction in earnings per share from net income of $.05 per share to a net loss
of $(.84) per share. Total assets at March 31, 2002 were reduced by $10,668,000.

Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 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").

</TABLE>


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

NOTE 5.   INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY INVESTEES (Continued)

ARI's share of equity investees' loss before gains on the sale of real estate
was $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, and its share of
equity investees' gains on sale of real estate was $4.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2002.

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.

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 Consolidated Statement 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 quarter of 2002, ARI did not purchase or
sell any such securities. At March 31, 2002, ARI recognized an unrealized
increase in the market value of its trading portfolio securities of $66,000.
Unrealized and realized gains and losses on trading portfolio securities are
included in other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

In April 2002, ARI sold nine residential properties to partnerships controlled

and $3.4 million bears interest at 7.57% per annum and matures in May 2012. 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 the shares is subject to the above future events, management has
elected to record no basis in the Preferred Shares.

In 2001, ARI financed/refinanced or obtained second mortgage financing on the
following:

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

million at March 31, 2002.

In April 2000, ARI obtained a security loan in the amount of $5.0 million from a

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 three months
ended March 31, 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 income (loss) of investees, loss on sale
of investments in equity investees and other income which totaled $(228,000) for
the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $28,000 for 2001. Expenses that are
not reflected in the segments are general and administrative expenses, minority
interest, incentive fees, advisory fees and net income fees which totaled $6.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $7.3 million for 2001.
Excluded from operating segment assets are assets of $116.3 million in 2002 and
$96.2 million in 2001, which are not identifiable with an operating segment.
There are no intersegment revenues and expenses, and ARI conducted all of its
business within the United States, with the exception of Hotel Sofia, which is
located in Bulgaria.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Liquidity. Management expects that excess 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.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

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

Litigation. ART 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.

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

         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction (Continued)

transaction is subject to the negotiation of a definitive merger agreement and a
vote of the shareholders of all three entities. ARI has the same advisor as TCI
and IORI, and TCI and IORI have the same board of directors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2002, totaled $903,000, compared
with $709,000 at December 31, 2001. Although ARI anticipates that during the
remainder of 2002 it will generate excess 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 quarter of 2002, ARI either extended, refinanced, paid down, paid off or
received commitments from lenders to extend or refinance $28.5 million of the
debt scheduled to mature in 2002.

Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $11.6 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2002, from $15.9 million in the three months ended March
31, 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 $7.4 million in the three months ended
March 31, 2002 from $3.9 million in 2001. The increase is 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) decreased to $1.0
million in the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $1.5 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to a
decrease in accounts payable and an increase in accounts receivable in 2002.

Interest collected increased to $666,000 in the three months ended March 31,
2002, from $231,000 in 2001. The increase was attributable to the collection of
$531,000 in past due interest.

         OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

Interest paid decreased to $15.2 million in the three months ended March 31,
2002, from $16.0 million in 2001. The decrease is attributable to the paydown
and payoff of mortgages on properties sold in 2001.

Advisory fees paid of $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002,
approximated the $1.8 million in 2001.

General and administrative expenses paid increased to $3.3 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2002 from $2.4 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 distributions
in the first quarter of 2002 and 2001.

Other cash from operating activities improved to $398,000 in the three months
ended March 31, 2002, from a use of $881,000 in 2001. The improvement was
primarily attributable to a decrease in property prepaids.

In the first quarter of 2002, ARI received a total $3.7 million on the
collection of one mortgage note receivable and partial paydown of two mortgage
notes receivable.

In 2002, ARI purchased the following property:

     common shares of Rosedale Corporation ("Rosedale"), a wholly-owned
     subsidiary of ARI, for $5.1 million. Rosedale owns the Rosedale Towers
     Office Building. ARI has guaranteed that the asset will produce at least a
     12% annual return on the purchase price for a period of three years from

(7)  In April 2002, 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. One Hickory owns the One Hickory Centre Office
     Building. ARI has guaranteed that the asset will produce at least a 12%

     party transaction as a note payable to TCI.

In April 2002, ARI sold nine residential properties to partnerships controlled
by Metra Capital, LLC ("Metra"), for a total sales price of $34.2 million. These
properties include: the 12 unit Bay Anchor Apartments in Panama City, Florida;
the 168 unit Governor Square Apartments in Tallahassee, Florida; the 54 unit
Grand Lagoon Cove Apartments in Panama City, Florida; the 92 unit Oak Hill
Apartments in Tallahassee, Florida; the 121 unit Park Avenue Villas Apartments
in Tallahassee, Florida; the 62 unit Seville Apartments in Tallahassee, Florida;
the 120 unit Westwood Apartments in Mary Ester, Florida; the 64 unit Windsor
Tower Apartments in Ocala, Florida and the 546 unit Woodhollow Apartments in San
Antonio, Texas. 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 received net cash of $8.3 million after paying off the
existing debt of $19.3 million and various closing costs, including $342,000 in
brokerage commissions to Third Millennium Partners, LLC. Of the total new debt
of $29.2 million, $8.8 million bears interest at 5.00% per annum and matures in
May 2003, $17.0 million bears interest at 7.12% per annum and matures in May
2007 and $3.4 million bears interest at 7.57% per annum and matures in May 2012.
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

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

of current and accrued 8% dividends must be used by Innovo to redeem the
Preferred Shares. Since redemption of the shares is subject to the above future
events, management has elected to record no basis in the Preferred Shares.

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 5.75% to 24.0%. Margin borrowing totaled $27.1
million at March 31, 2002.

Management expects that it will be necessary for ARI to sell $102.0 million,
$34.1 million and $1.2 million of its land holdings during each of the next
three years to satisfy the debt on such land as it matures. If ARI is unable to
sell at least the minimum amount of land to satisfy the debt obligations on such
land as it matures, or, if it was not able to extend such debt, ARI would either
sell other of its assets to pay such debt or 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 and two million units were purchased in May 2001. ARI
has committed to purchase the remaining two million units in May 2002.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2002, ARI reported net loss of $8.9
million, compared to net income of $2.4 million for the three months

Results of Operations (Continued)

ended March 31, 2001. The primary factors contributing to ARI's net income are
discussed in the following paragraphs.

Rents decreased to $29.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002, from
$33.2 million in 2001. Rents from commercial properties increased to $10.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $9.1 million in 2001,
rent from hotels of $7.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002,
approximated the $7.7 million in 2001 and rents from apartments decreased to
$10.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $16.1 million in
2001. The increase in commercial property rents was primarily attributable to
increased occupancy and the decrease in apartment rent was due to the sale of 17
apartments in 2001. Rental income is expected to decrease significantly in the
remainder of 2002 as a result of the income producing properties sold in 2001
and 2002.

Property operations expense decreased to $19.9 million in the three months ended
March 31, 2002, from $23.5 million in 2001. Property operations expense for
commercial properties of $5.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002,
approximated the $5.1 million in 2001. For hotels, property operations expense
decreased to $5.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $6.6
million in 2001. For land, property operations expense increased to $2.4 million
in the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $1.9 million in 2001. For
apartments, property operations expense decreased to $6.1 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2002, from $9.8 million in 2001. The decrease in hotel
operations expense was primarily attributable to reduced utility, personnel and
administrative costs. The increase in land operations expense was primarily
attributable to increased real estate taxes. The decrease in apartment
operations expense was primarily attributable to the sale of 17 apartments in
2001.

Pizza parlor sales and cost of sales increased to $8.5 million and $7.0 million,
respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $7.8 million and
$6.4 million in 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to the opening of
three new stores in 2001, plus an 8.75% increase in same-store sales volume.

Interest income from notes receivable increased to $612,000 in the three months
ended March 31, 2002 from $384,000 in 2001, due to the funding of $21.9 million
of mortgage notes receivable in 2001.

Interest expense increased to $18.8 million in the three months ended March 31,
2002 from $18.1 million in 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to
higher balances payable on stock loans, at higher interest rates.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense decreased to $3.6 million in
the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $4.1 million in 2001. The decrease is
due to the sale of 17 apartments and one commercial property in 2001.

Results of Operations (Continued)

Advisory fees of $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002
approximated the $1.8 million in 2001.

There was no incentive fee to affiliate in the three months ended March 31, 2002
compared to $1.5 million in 2001. The incentive fee is due only if ARI is also
subject to the net income fee. At March 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.

General and administrative expenses increased to $3.3 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $2.4 million in 2001. The increase is
primarily attributable to increased legal fees.

Minority interest decreased to $787,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2002
from $1.6 million in 2001. The decrease is attributable to the repurchase of
partnership units by ARI in 2001.

Equity in income of investees increased to $119,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 2002 from a loss $5,000 in 2001. The increase in equity income was
attributable to increased net income for IORI and TCI.

Loss on sale of investments in equity investees was $531,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2002. See NOTE 5. "INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY INVESTEES."

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

Inflation (Continued)

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.

At March 31, 2002, ARI's exposure to a change in interest rates on its debt is
as follows:
