                  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 has also invested in mortgage loans on
real estate.

TCI elected to be treated as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") under
sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") of 1986, as
amended for the year ended December 31, 1984 through December 31, 1999.
Performing routine third quarter testing of the Code requirements to qualify as
a REIT for federal income tax purposes, TCI determined that it no longer met
those requirements. Based on publicly disclosed information, acquisitions of the
stock in June, July and August 2000 by entities not previously holding TCI
shares caused a concentration of ownership in excess of that permitted by the
Code. The Code prohibits five or fewer shareholders of owning more than 50
percent of an entity for it to continue to qualify as a REIT. Under the Code,
TCI also cannot re-qualify as a REIT for at least five years.

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.
Certain balances for 1999 have been reclassified to conform to the 2000
presentation.

Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2000. 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, 1999 (the "1999 Form 10-K").

NOTE 2.   ACQUISITION OF CONTINENTAL MORTGAGE AND EQUITY TRUST
--------------------------------------------------------------

On September 25, 1998, TCI and Continental Mortgage and Equity Trust ("CMET")
jointly announced the agreement of their respective Boards of Directors for TCI
to acquire CMET through merger. At special meetings held on September 28, 1999,
the stockholders of both companies approved the merger transaction. The merger
was completed on November 30, 1999. Pursuant to the merger agreement, TCI
acquired all of the outstanding CMET shares of beneficial interest in a tax free
exchange of shares, issuing 1.181 shares of its Common Stock for each
outstanding CMET share. TCI accounted for the merger as a purchase.

The consolidation of TCI's accounts with those of CMET resulted in an increase
in TCI's net real estate of $258.8 million. This amount was allocated to the
individual real estate assets based on their relative individual fair market
values.

--------------------------------------

Inc. ("IORI"). IORI is also advised by BCM. The loan bore interest at 15.0% per
annum and matured in October 2000. All principal and interest were due at
maturity. The loan and all accrued but unpaid interest was paid off in August
2000.

In June 2000, a $9.0 million loan was funded to American Realty Trust, Inc.
("ART"), an affiliate of BCM. The loan was secured by 409,934 shares of IORI.
The loan bore interest at 15.0% per annum and matured in October 2000. All
principal and interest were due at maturity. The loan and all accrued but unpaid
interest was paid off in October 2000.

At December 31, 1999, mortgage notes receivable with a combined principal
balance of $4.6 million and a carrying value of $356,000, secured by first and
second liens on a closed hotel in Lake Charles, Louisiana were in default. Title
to the collateral property was obtained in February 2000 through foreclosure. No
loss was incurred on foreclosure as the estimated fair value of the property,
less estimated costs of sale, exceeded the carrying value of the mortgage notes
receivable. The property was sold in June 2000, for a gain of $633,000.
See NOTE 3. "REAL ESTATE."

In December 1999, TCI provided $8.5 million of purchase money financing in
conjunction with the sale of 253 acres of unimproved land in McKinney and Collin
County, Texas. The note receivable bore interest at 8.5% per annum, required a
$1.0 million principal paydown in February 2000, required payment of all accrued
interest in June 2000, and required the payment of all principal and remaining
accrued interest at maturity in September 2000. The loan was repaid in
accordance with its terms. In conjunction with the loan payoff, TCI recognized a
previously deferred gain on the sale of $4.8 million.

NOTE 5.  INVESTMENT IN EQUITY METHOD REAL ESTATE ENTITIES
---------------------------------------------------------

TCI owns a 63.7% general partner interest in Tri-City Limited Partnership ("Tri-
City"), which owns the 70,275 sq.ft. Chelsea Square Shopping Center in Houston,
Texas. In February 2000, Tri-City obtained mortgage financing of $2.1 million
secured by the previously unencumbered shopping center. Tri-City received net
cash of $2.0 million after the funding of required escrows and the payment of
various closing costs. The mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 10.24% per
annum until February 2001 and thereafter at a variable rate, requires monthly
payments of principal and interest of $20,601 and matures in February 2005. TCI
received a distribution of $1.3 million of the net financing proceeds.

NOTE 8.   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 interest, equity in partnerships and gains on
sales of real estate totaling $31.0 million and $18.4 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Expenses that are not
reflected in the segments are general and administrative expenses, and advisory
and net income fees totaling $10.9 million and $5.4 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Also excluded from segment
assets are assets of $83.5 million at September 30, 2000, and $49.0 million at
September 30, 1999, which are not identifiable with an operating segment. There
are no intersegment revenues and expenses and all business is conducted in the
United States.

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

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.

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

On September 25, 1998, TCI and CMET jointly announced the agreement of their
respective Boards of Directors for TCI to acquire CMET through merger. At
special meetings held on September 28, 1999, the stockholders of both companies
approved the merger transactions. The merger was completed on November 30, 1999.
Pursuant to the merger agreement, TCI acquired all of the outstanding CMET
shares of beneficial interest in a tax-free exchange of shares, issuing 1.181
shares of its Common Stock for each outstanding CMET share. TCI accounted for
the merger as a purchase. See NOTE 2. "ACQUISITION OF CONTINENTAL MORTGAGE AND
EQUITY TRUST."

             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
             ---------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $17.0 million at September 30, 2000, compared
with $41.3 million at December 31, 1999. 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 all of TCI's cash requirements,
including debt service obligations and expenditures for property maintenance and
improvements.

Net cash from operating activities decreased to $1.1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, from $5.7 million in the nine months ended September
30, 1999. The primary factors affecting TCI's cash from operations are discussed
in the following paragraphs.

Cash from property operations (rents collected less payments for expenses
applicable to rental income) increased to $44.4 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, from $28.0 million in 1999. Of this increase, $2.9 million
was due to the purchase of 16 income producing properties during 1999 and 2000
and $20.5 million was due to the properties obtained in the merger with CMET,
and $969,000 was due to the completion of construction projects. These increases
were partially offset by a decrease of $5.0 million due to the sale of 18 income
producing properties during 1999 and the first nine months of 2000.

Interest income increased to $594,000 in the nine months ended September 30,
2000, from $289,000 in 1999. The increase is due to loans of $9.0 million to ART
and $3.0 million to BCM funded in June 2000. See NOTE 4. "NOTES AND INTEREST
RECEIVABLE."

Interest paid increased to $33.8 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2000, from $18.0 million in 1999. Of this increase, $13.3 million was due to the
properties obtained in the merger with CMET, $3.0 million was due to the
acquisition of 17 properties subject to debt during 1999 and 2000 and $1.4
million was due to refinancings of properties where the debt balance was
increased. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.6 million
due to the sale of 15 properties subject to debt during 1999 and the first nine
months of 2000.

Advisory and net income fees paid increased to $5.7 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, from $2.1 million in the nine months ended September
30, 1999. The increase was primarily due to the increase in TCI's assets due to
the merger with CMET, and not being entitled to a refund of any of its 1999
advisory fee. In the first quarter of 1999, TCI had received a $458,000 refund
of advisory fees for 1998. Under its advisory agreement, all or a portion of the
annual advisory fee must be refunded by the advisor if the operating expenses of
TCI exceed certain limits specified in the advisory agreement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
-------------------------------

General and administrative expenses paid increased to $6.5 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, from $2.3 million in 1999. This increase was
mainly due to an increase in legal fees, audit and other professional fees,
franchise taxes and cost reimbursements to the advisor, primarily due to the
merger with CMET.

In the first nine months of 2000, TCI sold eight apartments, one office
building, one warehouse, two parcels of land and one hotel for a total of $61.1
million, receiving net cash of $23.2 million, after the payoff of existing debt
and the payment of various closing costs. The purchasers assumed $16.8 million
in mortgage debt. Also in the first nine months of 2000, TCI purchased five
apartments, three office buildings and five parcels of unimproved land for a
total of $88.2 million, paying $24.6 million in cash, including various closing
costs, and either obtaining new mortgage financing or assuming existing mortgage
debt of $60.8 million. Further in the first nine months of 2000, TCI refinanced
three apartments, four office buildings and two warehouses and obtained second
lien financing on an apartment for a total of $34.0 million, receiving net cash
of $9.5 million after paying off $23.0 million in mortgage debt and the payment
of various closing costs.

In the fourth quarter of 2000, TCI refinanced one warehouse for $5.0 million,
receiving $2.6 million in cash after paying off $2.2 million in mortgage debt
and the payment of various closing costs and purchased a 36.4 acre parcel of
land in Dallas, Texas, for $1.7 million in cash, and payment of various closing
costs.

In the first nine months of 2000, TCI paid dividends to Common stockholders of
$.54 per share, or a total of $4.7 million, and $3.75 per share or a total of
$22,000 to Preferred stockholders. TCI sold 8,014 shares of Common Stock through
its dividend reinvestment program, for a total of $90,000.

The Board of Directors has approved the repurchase of a total of 1.4 million
shares of TCI's Common Stock. Through September 30, 2000, a total of 409,765
shares had been repurchased at a total cost of $3.3 million. No shares have been
repurchased under this program since May 1998.

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 applicable to common shareholders of $6.9 million and $17.0
million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, including gains
on sale of real estate totaling $11.8 million and $29.6 million, compared to net
income applicable to common shareholders of $5.1 million and $13.0 million in
the corresponding periods in 1999, including gains on sale of real estate
totaling $5.9 million and $16.0 million. Fluctuations in these and other
components of revenues and expense between the 2000 and 1999 periods are
discussed below.

Rents in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, increased to $35.1
million and $103.7 million compared to $18.4 million and $57.6 million in 1999.
Increases of $2.4 million and $6.0 million were due to the purchase of 16 income
producing properties in 2000 and 1999, increases of $16.2 million and $48.4
million were due to the properties obtained in the merger with CMET and
increases of $657,000 and $1.9 million were due to the completion of
construction of Limestone Canyon Apartments. These increases were partially
offset by decreases of $2.2 million and $8.5 million due to the sale of 18
income producing properties in 2000 and 1999.

Property operations expense in the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000 increased to $19.9 million and $56.6 million from $9.7 million and $30.2
million in 1999. Of these increases, $1.0 million and $2.9 million were due to
the purchase of 16 income producing properties in 2000 and 1999, $10.0 million
and $27.9 million were due to the properties obtained in the merger with CMET
and $367,000 and $917,000 were due to the completion of construction of
Limestone Canyon Apartments. These increases were partially offset by decreases
of $1.1 million and $3.5 million due to the sale of 18 income producing
properties during 2000 and 1999.

Rents and property operating expenses in the fourth quarter are both expected to
approximate that of the third quarter of 2000.

Interest and other income increased to $936,000 and $1.9 million in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $174,000 and $297,000 in
1999. Of these increases, $14,000 and $44,000 were due to the two mortgage notes
receivable obtained in the merger with CMET, $345,000 and $390,000 is due to TCI
funding two loans in the second quarter of 2000 and $102,000 and $523,000 were
due to TCI having provided purchase money financing in conjunction with two
property sales in 1999, $308,000 and $387,000 is due to the short-term
investments and

$87,000 and $434,000 is due to proceeds from the Olive Settlement. Interest
income for the fourth quarter of 2000 is expected to approximate that of each of
the first three quarters of 2000.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, gains on sale of real
estate totaling $11.8 million and $29.6 million were recognized, $572,000 on the
sale of Hunters Bend Apartments, $3.6 million on the sale of Westgate of Laurel
Apartments, $3.2 million on the sale of Apple Creek Apartments, $1.2 million on
the sale of Villas at Fairpark Apartments, $633,000 on the sale of Chateau
Charles Hotel, a $4.8 million previously deferred gain on the sale of McKinney
land, TCI's share of gains recognized by an equity affiliate of $4.6 million,
$1.4 million on the sale of Brookfield Corporate Center, $706,000 on the sale of
Ashley Crest Apartments, $184,000 on the partial sale of Stacy Road land, $1.0
million on the sale of Eagle Rock Apartments, $206,000 on the sale of Shady
Trail Warehouse, $2.1 million on the McKinney land, $3.8 million on Woodbridge
Apartments and $1.5 million on the sale of Villas at Countryside Apartments.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, gains on sale of real
estate totaling $5.9 million and $16.0 million were recognized, $1.9 million on
the sale of Mariner's Pointe Apartments, $8.3 million on the sale of 74 New
Montgomery Office Building, $675,000 on the sale of Republic land parcel and
$5.2 million on the sale of the Parke Long Office Building.

Interest expense increased to $12.2 million and $35.3 million in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $6.3 million and $18.7 million in
1999. Of the increase, $5.0 million and $14.6 million were due to the properties
obtained in the merger with CMET, $1.1 million and $3.1 million were due to the
debt incurred or assumed on 17 properties acquired in 1999 and the first nine
months of 2000, and $264,000 and $700,000 were due to refinancings where the
debt balance was increased. These increases were partially offset by decreases
of $852,000 and $2.6 million, due to the sale of 12 properties in 2000 and nine
properties subject to debt in 1999. Interest expense for the fourth quarter of
2000 is expected to increase from the third quarter due to anticipated property
refinancings and the properties purchased on a leveraged basis in the first nine
months of 2000.

Depreciation increased to $5.4 million and $14.8 million in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, from $2.9 million and $8.7 million in 1999. Of
these increases, $394,000 and $1.0 million were due to the acquisition of 16
income producing properties in 1999 and the first nine months of 2000 and $2.0
million and $5.5 million were due to the properties obtained in the merger with
CMET and $583,000 and $1.0 million were due to completed construction projects
in 2000. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $437,000 and $1.5
million due to the sale of 18 income producing properties in 2000 and 1999.
Depreciation is expected to continue to increase in the fourth

quarter of 2000 due to a full year of depreciation of properties acquired or
completed in 1999 and the income producing properties purchased in the first
nine months of 2000.

Advisory fee increased to $1.4 million and $3.9 million in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, from $765,000 and $2.2 million in 1999. These
increases were due to an increase in TCI's gross assets, the basis for such fee.
Advisory fees are expected to continue to increase with increases in TCI's gross
assets, including the assets obtained in the merger with CMET.

Net income fee to affiliate was $567,000 and $1.3 million in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $396,000 and $1.1 million in
1999. The net income fee is payable to TCI's advisor based on 7.5% of TCI's net
income.

General and administrative expenses increased to $1.3 million and $5.7 million
in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $962,000 and $2.2
million in 1999. These increases were mainly due to an increase in legal fees,
audit and other professional fees, franchise taxes and cost reimbursements to
the advisor, primarily due to the merger with CMET.

Tax Matters
-----------

As more fully discussed in TCI's 1999 Form 10-K, TCI elected and, in the opinion
of management, qualified to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"),
as defined under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code")
of 1986, as amended, for the years ended December 31, 1994 through December 31,
1999. To qualify for federal taxation as a REIT, TCI was required to hold at
least 75% of the value of its total assets in real estate assets, government
securities, cash and cash equivalents at the close of each quarter of each
taxable year. As a REIT, TCI also was required to distribute at least 95% of its
REIT taxable income, plus 95% of its net income from foreclosure property on an
annual basis to stockholders.

Performing routine third quarter testing of the Code requirements to qualify as
a REIT for federal income tax purposes, TCI determined that it no longer met
those requirements. Based on publicly disclosed information, acquisitions of the
stock in June, July and August 2000 by entities not previously holding TCI
shares caused a concentration of ownership in excess of that permitted by the
Code. The Code prohibits five or fewer shareholders of owning more than 50
percent of an entity for it to continue to qualify as a REIT. Under the Code,
TCI also cannot re-qualify as a REIT for at least five years.

In the opinion of management, TCI's loss of REIT status will have no material
adverse impact on its operations, balance sheet or cash flow.

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, 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.

Year 2000
---------

Even though January 1, 2000, has passed and no adverse impact from the
transition to the year 2000 was experienced, no assurance can be provided that
TCI's suppliers and tenants have not been affected in a manner that is not yet
apparent. As a result, management will continue to monitor TCI's year 2000
compliance and the year 2000 compliance of TCI's suppliers and tenants.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

                          PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
-------------------------

Olive Litigation. In February 1990, TCI, together with CMET, IORI and National
Income Realty Trust, three real estate entities with, at the time, the same
officers, directors or trustees and advisor as TCI, entered into a settlement
(the "Settlement") of a class and derivative action entitled Olive et al. v.
National Income Realty Trust et al. relating to the operation and management of
each of the entities (the "Olive Litigation"). On April 23, 1990, the Court
granted final approval of the terms of the Settlement. The Settlement was
modified in 1994 (the "Modification").

On January 27, 1997, the parties entered into an Amendment to the Modification
effective January 9, 1997 (the "Olive Amendment"). The Olive Amendment provided
for the settlement of additional matters raised by plaintiffs' counsel in 1996.
The Court issued an order approving the Olive Amendment on July 3, 1997.

The Olive Amendment provided that TCI's Board of Directors retain a
management/compensation consultant or consultants to evaluate the fairness of
TCI's advisory contract with Basic Capital Management, Inc. ("BCM") and any
contract of its affiliates with TCI, CMET and IORI, including, but not limited
to, the fairness to TCI, CMET and IORI of such contracts relative to other means
of administration. In 1998, the Board engaged a management/compensation
consultant to perform the evaluation which was completed in September 1998.

In 1999, plaintiffs' counsel asserted that the Board did not comply with the
provision requiring such engagement and requested that the Court exercise its
retained jurisdiction to determine whether there was a breach of this provision
of the Olive Amendment. In January 2000, after the merger of CMET with TCI, the
Board engaged another management/compensation consultant to perform the required
evaluation again. This evaluation was completed in April 2000 and was provided
to plaintiffs' counsel. The Board believes that any alleged breach of the Olive
Amendment has been fully remedied by the Board's engagement of the second
consultant. Although several status conferences have been held on this matter,
there has been no Court order resolving whether there was any breach of the
Olive Amendment.

In addition, plaintiffs' counsel has asserted that the loans made by TCI to BCM
and American Realty Trust, Inc. in June 2000 breached the provisions of the
Modification. These loans were repaid in August and October 2000, respectively.
The Board believes that the provisions of the Settlement, the Modification and
Olive Amendment terminated on April 28, 1999. However, plaintiffs' counsel has
asserted that certain provisions continue to be effective after the termination
date. This matter is pending before the Court.
