ITEM 1. BUSINESS

   American Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant"), a Georgia
corporation, is the successor to a District of Columbia business trust
organized pursuant to a declaration of trust dated July 14, 1961.

Business Plan and Investment Policy

   The Company's primary business is investing in equity interests in real
estate (including equity securities of real estate-related entities), leases,
joint venture development projects and partnerships and to a lesser extent
financing real estate and real estate activities through investments in
mortgage loans, including first, wraparound and junior mortgage loans.
Information regarding the real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolios
of the Company is set forth in ITEM 2. "PROPERTIES" and in Schedules III and
IV to the Consolidated Financial Statements included at ITEM 8. "CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA."

   Effective December 18, 1998, NRLP Management Corp. ("NMC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, was elected general partner of National Realty,
L.P. ("NRLP") and National Operating, L.P. ("NOLP"). NRLP is a publicly traded
master limited partnership which was formed under the Delaware Uniform Limited
Partnership Act on January 29, 1987. It commenced operations on September 18,
1987 when, through NOLP, it acquired all of the assets, and assumed all of the
liabilities, of 35 public and private limited partnerships. NRLP is the sole
limited partner of NOLP and owns 99% of the beneficial interest in NOLP. NRLP
and NOLP operate as an economic unit and, unless the context otherwise
requires, all references herein to the Partnership shall constitute references
to NRLP and NOLP as a unit. Until December 18, 1998, the general partner and
owner of 1% of the beneficial interest in each of NRLP and NOLP was Syntek
Asset Management, L.P. ("SAMLP"), a Delaware limited partnership, of which the
Company is a 96% limited partner. With its election as general partner, NMC
succeeded to SAMLP's 1% beneficial interest in each of NRLP and NOLP. NMC also
assumed liability for SAMLP's note for its capital contribution to the
Partnership. In addition, NMC assumed liability for a note which requires the
repayment of the $11.4 million paid by the Partnership under the Moorman
litigation settlement plus the $808,000 in court ordered attorney's fees and
the $30,000 paid to Joseph B. Moorman. This note requires repayment over a
ten-year period, bears interest at a variable rate, currently 7.2% per annum,
and is guaranteed by the Company. See ITEM 2. "PROPERTIES--Investments in Real
Estate Investment Trusts and Real Estate Partnerships."

   At December 31, 1998, in addition to its general partner interest, the
Company owned approximately 55.0% of the outstanding limited partner units of
NRLP. Prior to NMC being elected general partner the Company accounted for its
investment in the Partnership under the equity method. As of December 31,
1998, the Company has consolidated the Partnership's accounts and will
consolidate its operations subsequent to such date.

   NMC, has discretion in determining methods of obtaining funds for the
Partnership's operations, and the acquisition and disposition of its assets.
See ITEM 2. "PROPERTIES--Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts and Real
Estate Partnerships."

   The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, Pizza World Supreme, Inc.
("PWSI"), also operates and franchises pizza parlors featuring pizza delivery,
carry-out and dine-in under the trademark "Me-N-Ed's" in California and Texas.
The first Me-N-Ed's pizza parlor opened in 1962. At December 31, 1998, there
were 57 Me-N-Ed's pizza parlors in operation, consisting of 51 owned and 6
franchised pizza parlors, 7 of the owned pizza parlors were in Texas and the
remainder were in California.

   The Company's businesses are not seasonal. With regard to real estate
investments, the Company is seeking both current income and capital
appreciation. The Company's plan of operation is to continue, to the extent
its liquidity permits, to make equity investments in income producing real
estate such as apartments and commercial properties or equity securities of
real estate-related entities. The Company also intends to continue to pursue

                                       3
<PAGE>

higher risk, higher reward investments, such as improved and unimproved land
where it can obtain financing of substantially all of a property's purchase
price. The Company intends to seek selected dispositions of certain of its
assets, in particular certain of its land holdings, where the prices
obtainable for such assets justify their disposition. The Company has
determined that it will no longer actively seek to fund or purchase mortgage
loans. It may, however, in selected instances, originate mortgage loans or it
may provide purchase money financing in conjunction with a property sale. The
Partnership, however, has increased its lending activity, funding 16 loans in
1998, including a $95.0 million loan commitment to the Company and a $12.2
million loan assumed by NMC in connection with the Moorman litigation
settlement. See ITEM 2. "PROPERTIES--Investments in Real Estate Investment
Trusts and Real Estate Partnerships."

   The Company's Board of Directors has broad authority under the Company's
governing documents to make all types of investments, and may devote available
assets to particular investments or types of investments, without restriction
on the amount or percentage of assets that may be allocated to a single
investment or to any particular type of investment, and without limit on the
percentage of securities of any one issuer that may be acquired. Investment
objectives and policies may be changed at any time by the Board of Directors
without stockholder approval.

   The specific composition of the Company's real estate portfolio will depend
largely on the judgment of management as to changing investment opportunities
and the level of risk associated with specific investments or types of
investments. Management intends to attempt to maintain a real estate portfolio
diversified by location and type of property.

   In addition to its equity investments in real estate, the Company has also
invested in private and open market purchases of the equity securities of
Continental Mortgage and Equity Trust ("CMET"), Income Opportunity Realty
Investors, Inc. ("IORI"), and Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. ("TCI")
and units of limited partner interest in NRLP. See ITEM 2. "PROPERTIES--
Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts and Real Estate Partnerships."

Management of the Company

   Although the Board of Directors is directly responsible for managing the
affairs of the Company and for setting the policies which guide it, the day-
to-day operations of the Company are performed by Basic Capital Management,
Inc. ("BCM" or the "Advisor"), a contractual advisor under the supervision of
the Board of Directors. The duties of the Advisor include, among other things,
locating, investigating, evaluating and recommending real estate and mortgage
note investment and sales opportunities, as well as financing and refinancing
sources. The Advisor also serves as a consultant in connection with the
Company's business plan and investment policy decisions made by the Board of
Directors.

   BCM is a company owned by a trust for the benefit of the children of Gene
E. Phillips, the Chairman of the Board and a Director of the Company until
November 16, 1992. Mr. Phillips served as a director of BCM until December 22,
1989 and as Chief Executive Officer of BCM until September 1, 1992. Mr.
Phillips serves as a representative of the trust for the benefit of his
children that owns BCM and, in such capacity, has substantial contact with the
management of BCM and input with respect to BCM's performance of advisory
services to the Company. As of March 5, 1999, BCM owned 5,738,472 shares of
the Company's Common Stock, approximately 54.3% of the shares then
outstanding. BCM is more fully described in ITEM 10. "DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE
OFFICERS AND ADVISOR OF THE REGISTRANT--The Advisor." BCM has been providing
advisory services to the Company since February 6, 1989. BCM also serves as
advisor to CMET, IORI and TCI. The executive officers of the Company, are also
executive officers of CMET, IORI, TCI and NMC. Karl L. Blaha, President and a
Director of the Company, serves as Executive Vice President and as director of
NMC, the general partner of NRLP and NOLP. BCM performs certain administrative
functions for NRLP and NOLP on a cost reimbursement basis.

   Since February 1, 1990, affiliates of BCM have provided property management
services to the Company. Currently, Carmel Realty Services, Ltd. ("Carmel,
Ltd.") provides such property management services. Carmel,

                                       4
<PAGE>

Ltd. subcontracts with other entities for the provision of the property-level
management services at various rates. The general partner of Carmel, Ltd. is
BCM. The limited partners of Carmel, Ltd. are (i) First Equity Properties,
Inc. ("First Equity"), which is 50% owned by a subsidiary of BCM, (ii) Mr.
Phillips and (iii) a trust for the benefit of the children of Mr. Phillips.
Carmel, Ltd. subcontracts the property-level management of 15 of the Company's
commercial properties (shopping centers, office buildings and a merchandise
mart) and its hotels to Carmel Realty, Inc. ("Carmel Realty") which is a
company owned by First Equity. Carmel Realty is entitled to receive property
and construction management fees and leasing commissions in accordance with
the terms of its property-level management agreement with Carmel, Ltd.

   Affiliates of the Advisor are also entitled to receive real estate
brokerage commissions in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement
as discussed in ITEM 10. "DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ADVISOR OF THE
REGISTRANT--The Advisor."

   The Company has no employees itself, but PWSI has 865 employees and a
majority-owned development subsidiary has five employees. Employees of the
Advisor render services to the Company.

Competition

   Real Estate. The real estate business is highly competitive and the Company
competes with numerous entities engaged in real estate activities (including
certain entities described in ITEM 13. "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS--Related Party Transactions"), some of which may have greater
financial resources. Management believes that success against such competition
is dependent upon the geographic location of the property, the performance of
property managers in areas such as marketing, collections and the ability to
control operating expenses, the amount of new construction in the area and the
maintenance and appearance of the property. Additional competitive factors
with respect to commercial properties are the ease of access to the property,
the adequacy of related facilities, such as parking, and sensitivity to market
conditions in setting rent levels. With respect to apartments, competition is
also based upon the design and mix of the units and the ability to provide a
community atmosphere for the tenants. With respect to hotels, competition is
also based upon market served, i.e., transient, commercial or group users.
Management believes that general economic circumstances and trends and the
development of new or renovated properties in the vicinity of each of the
Company's properties, in particular its developed, partially developed and
undeveloped land, are also competitive factors.

   To the extent that the Company seeks to sell any of its properties, the
sales prices may be affected by competition from other real estate entities
and financial institutions, also attempting to sell properties in areas where
the Company's properties are located.

   As described above and in ITEM 13. "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS--Related Party Transactions," the executive officers of the
Company also serve as executive officers of certain other entities, each of
which is also advised by BCM, and each of which has business objectives
similar to the Company's. The Company's officers and Advisor owe fiduciary
duties to such other entities as well as to the Company under applicable law.
In determining to which entity a particular investment opportunity will be
allocated, the executive officers and Advisor consider the respective
investment objectives of each such entity and the appropriateness of a
particular investment in light of each entity's existing real estate and
mortgage notes receivable portfolios. To the extent that any particular
investment opportunity is appropriate to more than one of such entities, such
investment opportunity will be allocated to the entity which has had funds
available for investment for the longest period of time or, if appropriate,
the investment may be shared among all or some of such entities.

   In addition, also as described in ITEM 13. "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND
RELATED TRANSACTIONS," the Company also competes with other entities which are
affiliates of the Advisor and which may have investment objectives similar to
the Company's and that may compete with the Company in purchasing, selling,
leasing and financing real estate and real estate-related investments. In
resolving any

                                       5
<PAGE>

potential conflicts of interest which may arise, the Advisor has informed the
Company that it intends to continue to exercise its best judgment as to what
is fair and reasonable under the circumstances in accordance with applicable
law.

   The Company is subject to all the risks incident to ownership and financing
of real estate and interests therein, many of which relate to the general
illiquidity of real estate investments. These risks include, but are not
limited to, changes in general or local economic conditions, changes in
interest rates and availability of permanent mortgage financing which may
render the acquisition, sale or refinancing of a property difficult or
unattractive and which may make debt service burdensome; changes in real
estate and zoning laws, increases in real estate taxes, federal or local
economic or rent controls, floods, earth quakes, hurricanes and other acts of
God and other factors beyond the control of management or the Advisor. The
illiquidity of real estate investments generally may impair the ability of
management to respond promptly to changing circumstances. Management believes
that such risks are partially mitigated by the diversification by geographic
region and property type of the Company's real estate. However, to the extent
new property acquisitions, in particular developed, partially developed and
undeveloped land, and mortgage lending are concentrated in any particular
region the advantages of geographic diversification are mitigated.

   Virtually all of the Company's real estate, equity security holdings in
CMET, IORI, TCI and NRLP and its trading portfolio of equity securities are
held subject to secured indebtedness. Such borrowings increase the risk of
loss because they represent a prior claim on the Company's assets and require
fixed payments regardless of profitability. In the event of default, the
lender may foreclose on the Company's assets securing such indebtedness, and
the Company could lose its investment in the pledged assets.

   Pizza Parlors. The pizza parlor business is highly competitive and is
affected by changes in consumer tastes and eating habits, as well as national,
regional and local economic conditions, and demographic trends. The
performance of an individual pizza parlor can be affected by changes in
traffic patterns, demographics, and the type, number and location of competing
restaurants.

   The quick-service restaurant industry is extremely competitive with respect
to price, service, location and food quality. PWSI and its franchisees compete
with a variety of other restaurants in the quick-service restaurant industry,
including those that offer dine-in, carry-out and delivery services. These
competitors include national and regional chains, franchisees of other
restaurant chains and local owner-operated restaurants. Some of these
competitors have been in existence longer and have an established market
presence in certain geographic regions, and some have substantially greater
financial, marketing and other resources than PWSI and its franchisees. PWSI
competes for qualified franchisees with many other restaurant concepts,
including national and regional restaurant chains.

   PWSI's success is largely dependent upon the efforts of its management and
other key personnel. The loss of the service of one or more members of
management could have an adverse effect on PWSI's operations. Significant
transitions in management involve important risks, including potential loss of
key personnel, difficulties in implementing changes to operational strategies
and maintaining relationships with franchisees.

   At December 31, 1998, PWSI owned and operated 51 and franchised six pizza
parlors. The results achieved by PWSI's relatively small pizza parlor base may
not be indicative of the results of a larger number of pizza parlors in a more
geographically dispersed area. Because of PWSI's relatively small pizza parlor
base, an unsuccessful pizza parlor has a more significant effect on PWSI's
results of operations than would be the case in a company owning more pizza
parlors.

   PWSI's existing pizza parlors, both owned and franchised, are located in
California or Texas. There are 50 pizza parlors in California and seven in
Texas. Accordingly, PWSI's results of operations may be affected by economic
or other conditions in these regions. Also, given PWSI's present geographic
concentration, publicity relating to PWSI's pizza parlors could have a more
pronounced effect on PWSI's overall sales than might be the case if PWSI's
pizza parlors were more broadly dispersed.

                                       6
<PAGE>

   All of the PWSI owned pizza parlors are operated on premises leased from
third parties. Most of the pizza parlor leases provide for a minimum annual
rent and additional rental payments if sales volumes exceed specified amounts.
There can be no assurance that PWSI will be able to renew leases upon
expiration or that the lease terms upon renewal will be as favorable as the
current lease terms. In 1999, PWSI plans to expand its franchised stores and
to construct and open five new company-owned stores.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

   The Company's principal offices are located at 10670 North Central
Expressway, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75231. In the opinion of the Company's
management, the Company's offices are suitable and adequate for its present
operations.

   Details of the Company's real estate and mortgage notes receivable
portfolios at December 31, 1998 are set forth in Schedules III and IV,
respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included at ITEM 8.
"CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA." The discussions
set forth below under the headings "Real Estate" and "Mortgage Loans" provide
certain summary information concerning the Company's real estate and mortgage
notes receivable portfolios.

   At December 31, 1998, no single asset of the Company accounted for 10% or
more of its total assets. At December 31, 1998, 80.0% of the Company's assets
consisted of real estate, 5.7% consisted of notes and interest receivable,
3.8% consisted of investments in the equity investees, including CMET, IORI
and TCI, and 2.4% consisted of pizza parlor equipment and related goodwill.
The remaining 8.1% of the Company's assets were invested in cash, cash
equivalents, marketable equity securities and other assets. The percentage of
the Company's assets invested in any one category is subject to change and no
assurance can be given that the composition of the Company's assets in the
future will approximate the percentages listed above.

   At December 31, 1998, the Company's real estate was located in all
geographic regions of the continental United States, other than the Northeast
region, as shown more specifically in the table under "Real Estate" below. The
Company also holds mortgage notes receivable secured by real estate located in
the Southeast, Southwest, Northeast and Midwest regions of the continental
United States, as shown more specifically in the table under "Mortgage Loans"
below.

Real Estate

   At December 31, 1998, 80% of the Company's assets were invested in real
estate and the equity securities of real estate entities. The Company has
invested in real estate located throughout the continental United States,
either on a leveraged or nonleveraged basis. The Company's real estate
portfolio consists of properties held for investment, investments in
partnerships, properties held for sale and investments in equity securities of
CMET, IORI and TCI.

   Types of Real Estate Investments. The Company's real estate consists of
apartments, commercial properties (office buildings, shopping centers and a
merchandise mart), hotels and improved and unimproved land. In selecting new
real estate investments, the location, age and type of property, gross rents,
lease terms, financial and business standing of tenants, operating expenses,
fixed charges, land values and physical condition are among the factors
considered. Properties may be acquired subject to, or existing debt may be
assumed and properties may be mortgaged, pledged or otherwise collateralized
to obtain financing. The Board of Directors may alter the types of and
criteria for selecting new real estate investments and for obtaining financing
without a vote of the Company's stockholders.

   Although the Company has typically invested in developed real estate, it
may also invest in new construction or development either directly or in
partnership with nonaffiliated parties or affiliates (subject to approval by
the Board of Directors). To the extent that it invests in construction and
development projects, such as One Hickory Center described below, the Company
will be subject to business risks, such as cost overruns and construction
delays, associated with such higher risk projects.

   In November 1994, the Company and an affiliate of BCM, sold five apartments
with a total of 880 units to a newly formed limited partnership in exchange
for $3.2 million in cash, a 27% limited partner interest and two mortgage
notes receivable, secured by one of the properties. The Company had the option
to reacquire the properties at any time after September 1997 for their
original sales prices. Accordingly, a deferred gain of $5.6 million was offset
against the Company's investment in the partnership. In February 1998, three
of the properties, one of which secured the notes receivable, were reacquired
for $7.7 million. The Company paid $4.0 million in cash and assumed the
existing mortgages totaling $3.7 million. Simultaneously the Company

after paying off $3.7 million in mortgage debt and the payment of various

entitled to a preferred return of $.07 per annum per unit. The Class A units
are exchangeable after November 18, 1999, into shares of Series F Cumulative

against the mortgage's principal balance, approximately $885,000 will be
retained by the lender as a prepayment penalty and the remaining $3.9 million
will be returned to the Partnership. A gain will be recognized on the sale.

   First Mortgage Loans. The Company may invest in first mortgage loans, with
either short-, medium- or long-term maturities. First mortgage loans generally
provide for level periodic payments of principal and interest sufficient to
substantially repay the loan prior to maturity, but may involve interest-only
payments or moderate or negative amortization of principal or all interest and
a "balloon" principal payment at maturity. With respect to first mortgage
loans, it is the Company's general policy to require that the borrower provide
a title policy or an acceptable legal opinion of title as to the validity and
the priority of the Company's mortgage lien over all other obligations, except
liens arising from unpaid property taxes and other exceptions normally allowed
by first mortgage lenders.

   The following discussion briefly describes the events that affected
previously funded first mortgage loans during 1998.

   At December 31, 1998, the Company sold a matured first mortgage note at its
carrying value of $124,000 to BCM. No gain or loss was recognized on the sale.
See "Junior Mortgage Loans," below.

loans, sometimes called all-inclusive loans, made on real estate subject to
prior mortgage indebtedness. A wraparound mortgage note is a mortgage note
having an original principal amount equal to the outstanding balance under the
prior existing mortgage loan plus the amount actually advanced under the
wraparound mortgage loan. Wraparound mortgage loans may provide for full,
partial or no amortization of principal. The Company's policy is to make
wraparound mortgage loans in amounts and on properties on which it would
otherwise make a first mortgage loan.

   The following discussion briefly describes the events that affected
previously funded wraparound mortgage loans during 1998.

   In June 1992, the Company sold the Continental Hotel and Casino in Las
Vegas, Nevada, for, among other consideration, a $22.0 million wraparound
mortgage note. The Company recorded a deferred gain of $4.6 million on the
sale resulting from a disputed third lien mortgage being subordinated to the
Company's wraparound mortgage note. In March 1997, the wraparound note was
modified and extended in exchange for the borrower's commitment to invest $2.0
million in improvements to the hotel and casino within four months of March
1997, and an additional $2.0 million prior to December 1997. The borrower
stopped making the payments required by the note in April 1997, and did not
make the required improvements. In December 1997, the borrower filed for
bankruptcy protection. In February 1998, a hearing was held to allow
foreclosure of the hotel and casino. At the hearing, the bankruptcy court
allowed the borrower 90 days to submit a reorganization plan and beginning
March 2, 1998 required the borrower to make monthly payments of $175,000. The
Company received only the first such payment. The wraparound mortgage note had
a principal balance of $22.7 million at March 31, 1998. In April 1998, the
bankruptcy court allowed the foreclosure of the hotel and casino. No loss was
incurred on foreclosure as the fair value of the property, exceeded the
carrying value of the mortgage note receivable.

   In December 1997, the Company sold its Pin Oak land, a 567.6 acre parcel of
unimproved land in Houston, Texas, for $11.4 million, receiving net cash of
$3.5 million and providing $6.9 million in short-term purchase money
financing. The purchase money financing was collected in full in January 1998,
the Company receiving net cash of $1.5 million after paying off $5.2 million
in underlying mortgage debt and the payment of various closing costs.

   Junior Mortgage Loans. The Company may invest in junior mortgage loans.
Such notes are secured by mortgages that are subordinate to one or more prior
liens either on the fee or a leasehold interest in real estate. Recourse on
such notes ordinarily includes the real estate which secures the loan, other
collateral and personal guarantees of the borrower.

   The following discussion briefly describes the events that affected
previously funded junior mortgage loans during 1998.

                                      22

   In December 1997, the Company sold a 25.1 acre tract of its Valley Ranch
land parcel, for $3.3 million, receiving net cash of $2.2 million and
providing $891,000 of short-term purchase money financing. The Company
received a $624,000 paydown on the purchase money financing in January 1998
with the remaining $267,000 being received in February 1998.

   As of December 31, 1998, the Company sold two matured second lien mortgage
notes at their carrying values totaling $504,000 to BCM. No gain or loss was
recognized on the sale. See "First Mortgage Loans," above.

Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts and Real Estate Partnerships

   Real estate entities. The Company's investment in real estate entities
includes (1) equity securities of three publicly traded Real Estate Investment
Trusts (collectively the "REITs"), CMET, IORI and TCI, (2) units of limited
partner interest of NRLP, and (3) interests in real estate joint venture
partnerships. BCM, the Company's advisor, serves as advisor to the REITs, and
performs certain administrative and management functions for NRLP and NOLP on
behalf of NMC, the general partner of NRLP and NOLP and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.

   Since acquiring its initial investments in the equity securities of the
REITs and NRLP in 1989, the Company has made additional investments in the
equity securities of these entities through private and open market purchases.
The cost with respect to shares of the REITs at December 31, 1998 totaled
$22.0 million, and its cost with respect to units of limited partner interest
in NRLP totaled $24.1 million. The aggregate carrying value (cost plus or
minus equity in income or losses and less distributions received) of such
equity securities of the REITs was $29.0 million at December 31, 1998 and the
aggregate market value of such equity securities was $43.5 million. The
aggregate investee book value of the equity securities of the REITs based upon
the December 31, 1998 financial statements of each such REIT was $71.0
million. See ITEM 13. "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS."

   The Board of Directors has authorized the expenditure of up to an aggregate
of $35.0 million to acquire, in open market purchases, units of NRLP and
shares of the REITs, excluding private purchase transactions which were
separately authorized. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had expended $4.4
million to acquire units of NRLP and an aggregate of $6.4 million to acquire
shares of the REITs, in open market purchases, in accordance with these
authorizations. The Company expects to make additional investments in the
equity securities of the REITs and NRLP.

   The equity securities of the REITs and NRLP were purchased for the purpose
of investment based principally on the opinion of management that the equity
securities of each were and are currently undervalued. The determination to
purchase additional equity securities of the REITs and NRLP is made on an
entity-by-entity basis and depends on the market price of each entity's equity
securities relative to the value of its assets, the availability of sufficient
funds and the judgment of management regarding the relative attractiveness of
alternative investment opportunities. Substantially all of the equity
securities of the REITs and NRLP are pledged as collateral for borrowings.
Pertinent information regarding the Company's investment in the equity
securities of the REITs and NRLP, at December 31, 1998, is summarized below

*  The Company accounted for its investment in the Partnership under the
   equity method until December 1998 when NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
   the Company, was elected general partner of NRLP and NOLP, as more fully
   discussed in "NRLP", below. As of December 31, 1998, the accounts of the
   Partnership are consolidated with those of the Company.

                                      23
<PAGE>

   Each of the REITs and NRLP own a considerable amount of real estate, much
of which, particularly in the case of NRLP, has been held for many years.
Because of depreciation, these entities may earn substantial amounts in
periods in which they sell real estate and will probably incur losses in
periods in which they do not. The Company's reported income or loss
attributable to these entities will differ materially from its cash flow
attributable to them.

   The Company does not have a controlling equity interest in any of the REITs
and therefore it cannot, acting by itself, determine either the individual
investments or the overall investment policies of such investees. However, due
to the Company's equity investments in, and the existence of common officers
with, each of the REITs, and that the REITs have the same advisor as the
Company and that Mr. Paulson, an Executive Vice President of the Company, is
also the President of the REITs and BCM, the Company's advisor. The Company
may be considered to have the ability to exercise significant influence over
the operating and investing policies of the REITs. The Company accounts for
its investment in the REITs using the equity method. Under the equity method,
the Company recognizes its proportionate share of the income or loss from the
operations of the REITs currently, rather than when realized through dividends
or on sale. The Company discontinued accounting for its investment in the
Partnership under the equity method as of December 31, 1998, due to the
election of NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as general partner
of NRLP and NOLP, as more fully discussed in "NRLP" below. The carrying value
of the Company's investment in the REITs, as set forth in the table above, is
the original cost of each such investment adjusted for the Company's
proportionate share of each REIT's income or loss and distributions received.

   The following is a summary description of each of NRLP and the REITs, based
upon information publicly reported by such entities.

   NRLP. NRLP is a publicly traded master limited partnership which was formed
under the Delaware Uniform Limited Partnership Act on January 29, 1987. It
commenced operations on September 18, 1987 when, through NOLP, it acquired all
of the assets, and assumed all of the liabilities, of 35 public and private
limited partnerships. NRLP is the sole limited partner of NOLP and owns 99% of
the beneficial interest in NOLP. NRLP and NOLP operate as an economic unit
and, unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to the
Partnership shall constitute references to NRLP and NOLP as a unit. In
December 1998, NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was elected
general partner and succeeded to SAMLP's 1% beneficial interest in each of
NRLP and NOLP. NMC also assumed liability for SAMLP's note for its capital
contribution. In addition, NMC assumed liability for a note which requires the
repayment of the $11.4 million paid by the Partnership under the Moorman
litigation settlement plus the $808,000 in court ordered attorney's fees and
the $30,000 paid to Joseph B. Moorman.

   In November 1992, NOLP transferred 52 apartments and a wraparound mortgage
note receivable to GCLP, a Delaware limited partnership in which NOLP owns a
99.3% limited partner interest. Concurrent with such transfer, GCLP refinanced
all of the mortgage debt associated with the transferred properties and the
wraparound mortgage note. Effective August 1998, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company acquired the .7% managing general partner interest of Garden
Capital Management Incorporated in GCLP and the 1% general partner interest of
Garden Capital Incorporated in 50 single asset limited partnerships in which
GCLP is the 99% limited partner, in exchange for 250,000 shares of the
Company's Series F Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.

   At December 31, 1998, the Company owned approximately 55.0% of the
outstanding limited partner units of NRLP.

   NMC, as the general partner, has discretion in determining the methods of
obtaining funds for the Partnership's operations, and the acquisition and
disposition of its assets.

   At December 31, 1998, NRLP owned 66 properties located in 21 states,
consisting of 55 apartments comprising 13,957 units, five office buildings
with an aggregate of 367,271 square feet and six shopping centers with an
aggregate of 712,388 sq. ft.

                                      24
<PAGE>

   The Partnership reported net income of $47.5 million in 1998 compared to
net income of $8.7 million in 1997. The Partnership had a loss from
operations, prior to gains on sale of real estate, of $5.1 million in 1998
compared to income of $362,000 in 1997. The decline in the Partnership's 1998
income from operations was due to $13.0 million of GCLP deferred borrowing
costs written off on the refinancing of the GCLP properties in 1998 and the
sale of 10 apartments and two shopping centers by the Partnership in 1998. The
decline was mitigated by a 4% increase in average rental rates at the
Partnership's apartments and an average 4% increase in rental rates at the
Partnership's commercial properties coupled with an average 1% decrease in
occupancy at the Partnership's apartments and an average 3.5% decrease in
occupancy at the Partnership's commercial properties.

   The Partnership's cash flow from property operations (rents collected less
payments for property operations) decreased to $42.9 million in 1998 from
$50.5 million in 1997. At December 31, 1998, the Partnership had total assets
of $337.8 million, which consisted of $167.4 million of real estate held for
investment, $114.5 million of notes and interest receivable, $46.9 million of
investments in equity securities and other assets and $9.0 million in cash and
cash equivalents.

   The Partnership has paid quarterly distributions to unitholders since the
fourth quarter of 1993. In 1998, the Company received a total of $7.2 million
in distributions from the Partnership including $5.5 million which was accrued
at December 31, 1997.

   The Company owns a 96% limited partner interest in SAMLP. SAMLP was the
general partner of the Partnership until December 18, 1998 when NMC, a wholly-
owned subsidiary of the Company, was elected general partner. Gene E.
Phillips, a Director and Chairman of the Board of the Company until November
16, 1992, is also a general partner of SAMLP.

   NRLP, SAMLP and Mr. Phillips were among the defendants in a class action
lawsuit (the "Moorman litigation") arising from the formation of NRLP. An
agreement settling such lawsuit (the "Settlement Agreement") for the above
named defendants became effective on July 5, 1990. The Settlement Agreement
provided for, among other things, the appointment of an NRLP oversight
committee and the establishment of specified annually increasing targets for
five years relating to the price of NRLP's units of limited partner interest.

   The Settlement Agreement provided for the resignation and replacement of
SAMLP as general partner if the unit price targets were not met for two
consecutive anniversary dates. NRLP did not meet the unit price targets for
the first and second anniversary dates. On July 8, 1992, SAMLP notified the
NRLP oversight committee of the failure of NRLP to meet the unit price targets
for two successive years and that it expected to resign as general partner of
NRLP and NOLP.

   The Settlement Agreement provided that the withdrawal of SAMLP as general
partner would require the Partnership to purchase SAMLP's general partner
interest (the "Redeemable General Partner Interest") at its then fair value,
and to pay certain fees and other compensation as provided in the NRLP
partnership agreement. Syntek Asset Management, Inc. ("SAMI"), the managing
general partner of SAMLP, calculated the fair value of such Redeemable General
Partner Interest to be $49.6 million at December 31, 1997, before reduction
for the principal balance ($4.2 million at December 31, 1997) and accrued
interest ($7.2 million at December 31, 1997) on the note receivable from SAMLP
for its original capital contribution to the Partnership.

   On July 15, 1998, NRLP, SAMLP and the NRLP oversight committee executed an
Agreement for Cash Distribution and Election of Successor General Partner (the
"Cash Distribution Agreement") which provides for the nomination of an entity
affiliated with SAMLP to be the successor general partner of NRLP, for the
distribution of $11.4 million to the plaintiff class members and for the
resolution of all related matters under the Settlement Agreement. The Cash
Distribution Agreement was submitted to the Court on July 23, 1998. On August
4, 1998, the Court entered an order granting preliminary approval of the Cash
Distribution Agreement. On September 9, 1998, a notice was mailed to the
plaintiff class members describing the Cash Distribution Agreement. On October
16, 1998, a hearing was held to consider any objections to the Cash
Distribution

                                      25
<PAGE>

Agreement. On October 23, 1998, the Court entered an order granting final
approval of the Cash Distribution Agreement. The Court also entered orders
requiring NRLP to pay $404,000 in attorney's fees to Joseph B. Moorman's legal
counsel, $30,000 to Joseph B. Moorman and $404,000 in attorney's fees to
Robert A. McNeil's legal counsel.

   Pursuant to the order, $11.4 million was deposited by the Partnership into
an escrow account and then transferred to the control of an independent
settlement administrator. The distribution of the cash shall be made to the
plaintiff class members pro rata based upon the number of units originally
issued to each plaintiff class member upon the formation of the Partnership in
1987. On March 10, 1999, the Court entered an order providing for the initial
distribution of the cash not later than March 31, 1999. The distribution of
cash is under the control of the independent settlement administrator.

   The proposal to elect NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as the
successor general partner was submitted to the unitholders of NRLP for a vote
at a special meeting held on December 18, 1998. All units of NRLP owned by
affiliates of the Company and SAMLP (approximately 61.8% of the outstanding
units of NRLP as of the November 27, 1998 record date) were voted pro rata
with the vote of the other limited partners. NMC was elected by a majority of
the NRLP unitholders. On December 18, 1998, SAMLP withdrew as general partner
and NMC took office. Upon the election and taking office of NMC as the
successor general partner, the Settlement Agreement terminated.

   Under the Cash Distribution Agreement, SAMLP waived its right under the
Settlement Agreement to receive any payment from the Partnership for its
Redeemable General Partner Interest and fees it was entitled to receive upon
the election of a successor general partner. In addition, pursuant to the Cash
Distribution Agreement, the NRLP partnership agreement was amended to provide
that, upon voluntary resignation of the general partner, the resigning general
partner shall not be entitled to the repurchase of its general partner
interest under Paragraph 17.9 of the NRLP partnership agreement.

   Under the Cash Distribution Agreement, NMC, as successor general partner,
assumed liability for the note from SAMLP for its capital contribution to
NRLP. In addition, NMC assumed liability for a note which requires the
repayment of the $11.4 million paid by NRLP under the Cash Distribution
Agreement, plus the $808,000 in Court ordered attorney's fees and the $30,000
paid to Joseph B. Moorman. This note requires repayment over a ten-year
period, bears interest at a variable rate, currently 7.2% per annum and is
guaranteed by the Company. As of December 31, 1998, the Company discontinued
accounting for its investment in the Partnership under the equity method upon
the election of NMC as general partner of the Partnership and the settlement
of the Moorman litigation. The Company began consolidation of the
Partnership's accounts at that date and its operations subsequent to that
date.

   CMET. CMET is a California business trust which was organized on August 27,
1980 and commenced operations on December 3, 1980. CMET's business is
investing in real estate through direct equity investments and partnerships
and financing real estate and real estate related activities through

million of gains on sale of real estate. IORI had no such gains in 1998.
IORI's cash flow from property operations increased to $7.9 million in 1998
from $6.5 million in 1997. At December 31, 1998, IORI had total assets of

partnership that owned approximately 15.8% of the Company's

                                      27
<PAGE>

outstanding shares of Common Stock, to acquire 287 developed residential lots
adjacent to the Company's other residential lots in Fort Worth, Texas. The
partnership agreement designates the Company as managing general partner. The
partnership agreement also provides each of the partners with a guaranteed 10%
return on their respective investments. Through December 31, 1997, 214
residential lots had been sold. In 1998, an additional 52 lots were sold and
at December 31, 1998, 21 lots remained to be sold. During 1998, each partner
received $418,000 in return of capital distributions and $493,000 in profit
distributions.

   R. G. Bond, Ltd. In June 1995, the Company purchased a 1% general partner
interest in a limited partnership which owned an apartment in each of the
states of Illinois, Florida and Minnesota, with a total of 900 units. In
August 1998, in conjunction with the sale of the apartments, the Company sold
its general partner interest for $903,000 in cash. A gain of $27,000 was
recognized. In December 1998, a return of capital distribution of $100,000 was
received.

   Campbell Center Associates, Ltd. In April 1996, the Company purchased a 28%
general partner interest in Campbell Center Associates, Ltd. ("Campbell
Associates"), which in turn had a 56.25% interest in Campbell Centre Joint
Venture, which owned at the time a 413,175 sq. ft. office building in Dallas,
Texas, for $550,000 in cash and a $500,000 note. In January 1997, the Company
exercised its option to purchase an additional 28% general partner interest in

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

   American Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") was organized in 1961 to
provide investors with a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of real
estate and mortgage loan investments selected to provide opportunities for
capital appreciation as well as current income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   General. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1998 aggregated $11.5
million, compared with $5.3 million at December 31, 1997. Although the Company
anticipates that during 1999 it will generate excess cash from operations, as
discussed below, such excess cash is not sufficient to discharge all of the
Company's debt

                                      32
<PAGE>

obligations as they mature. The Company will therefore again rely on
externally generated funds, including aggressive land sales, selected property
sales, refinancing of properties and, to the extent necessary, borrowings to
meet its debt service obligations, pay taxes, interest and other non-property
related expenses.

   Notes payable totaling $168.0 million are scheduled to mature during 1999.
During the first quarter of 1998, the Company either extended, refinanced,
paid down, paid off or received commitments from lenders to extend or
refinance $66.8 million of the debt scheduled to mature in 1999. See NOTE 5.
"REAL ESTATE," NOTE 9. "NOTES AND INTEREST PAYABLE" and NOTE 24. "SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS."

   The Company expects an increase in cash from property operations in 1999.
The increase is expected to be derived from a full year of operations of the
36 apartments that it acquired during 1998. The Company is also expecting
substantial land sales and selected property sales to generate additional
cash.

   Net cash from operating activities decreased to a deficit of $23.0 million
in 1998 from a deficit of $18.0 million in 1997. Fluctuations in the
components of cash from operating activities are discussed in the paragraphs
that follow.

   Net cash from pizza operations (sales less cost of sales) decreased to $2.4
million in 1998 from $5.0 million in 1997. The decrease was due to higher
labor and pizza ingredient costs, primarily cheese.

   Net cash from property operations (rents collected less payments for
expenses applicable to rental income) increased to $21.5 million in 1998 from
$5.4 million in 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to a full year
of operations of the five hotels and two shopping centers acquired in 1997 and
to the 36 apartments acquired in 1998. The increase was partially offset by
$1.3 million of costs related to the 16 land parcels purchased in 1998.

   Interest collected decreased to $188,000 in 1998 from $2.6 million in 1997.
The decrease was attributable to the sale of two notes receivable and the
foreclosure of the collateral securing a third note receivable in 1997 and the
foreclosure of the collateral securing a wraparound mortgage note receivable
in 1998. See Note 3. "NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE."

   Interest paid increased to $34.1 million in 1998 from $19.1 million in
1997. The increase was due to a full year of interest on the debt associated
with the five hotels, two shopping centers and 24 parcels of land acquired in
1997 and with 36 apartments and 16 land parcels acquired in 1998.

   Advisory and servicing fees paid increased to $3.8 million in 1998 from
$2.7 million in 1997. The increase is due to an increase in the Company's
gross assets, the basis for such fee.

   General and administrative expenses paid increased to $8.5 million in 1998
from $7.8 million in 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to the
general and administrative expenses of the Company's development subsidiary
established in 1998.

   Other cash from operating activities decreased to a use of $5.5 million in
1998 from a use of $537,000 in 1997. The decrease was due to a decrease in
property prepaids, other miscellaneous property receivables and property
escrows.

   Distributions from equity investees' increased to $10.3 million in 1998
from $5.7 million in 1997. Included in 1998 distributions, were special
distributions totaling of $6.7 million from two equity investees. The special
distributions were accrued at December 31, 1997, but were not paid until 1998.

   Distributions to minority interest holders increased to $3.2 million in
1998 from $2.1 million in 1997. These distributions represented preferred
returns paid to limited partner unitholders of controlled consolidated
partnerships. See NOTE 5. "REAL ESTATE" and NOTE 13. "PREFERRED STOCK."

                                      33
<PAGE>

   Net cash of $2.2 million in 1998 and $4.6 million in 1997 was used in
marketable equity securities trading activities. See NOTE 7. "MARKETABLE
EQUITY SECURITIES--TRADING PORTFOLIO."

   In 1998, the Company sold a total of 789.2 acres of land in Collin County,
Irving, Las Colinas, Lewisville and Plano, Texas, Denver, Colorado, Palm
Desert and Santa Clarita, California in 13 separate transactions for a total
of $51.6 million. The Company received net cash of $15.4 million, after paying
off or paying down $36.2 million in mortgage debt secured by such properties.

   In 1998, the Company purchased a total of 2,497.1 acres of land in Palm
Desert, California and Carrollton, Dallas County, Farmers Branch, Fort Worth,
Houston, Irving, Lewisville, McKinney, Plano and Tarrant County, Texas, for a
total of $141.6 million. The Company paid $30.3 million in cash and obtained
mortgage or seller financing of $88.1 million and issued $23.2 million of
Class A limited partner units in controlled consolidated partnerships.

   The Company expects that funds from existing cash resources, agressive
sales of land and selected property sales, refinancing of real estate, and
borrowings against its real estate and marketable equity securities will be
sufficient to meet the cash requirements associated with the Company's current
and anticipated level of operations, maturing debt obligations and existing
commitments. To the extent that the Company's liquidity permits or financing
sources are available, the Company will make investments in real estate,
primarily investments in improved and unimproved land, continue making
additional investments in real estate entities and marketable equity
securities, and fund or acquire mortgage notes.

   In February 1999, the Company purchased Frisco Bridges land, a 336.8 parcel
of unimproved land in Collin County, Texas, for $46.8 million. The Company
paid $7.8 million in cash and obtained mortgage financing totaling $39.0
million. The Company drew down $6.0 million under the line of credit described
below, for a portion of the cash requirement. See NOTE 24. "SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS."

   The Company expects that it will be necessary for it to sell $120.0
million, $48.0 million and $17.0 million of its land holdings during each of
the next three years to satisfy the debt on such land as it matures. If the
Company is unable to sell at least the minimum amount of land to satisfy the
debt obligations on such land as it matures, the Company, if it was not able
to extend such debt, would either sell other of its assets to pay such debt or
return the property to the lender.

   Notes Receivable. In June 1992, the Company sold the Continental Hotel and
Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada for, among other consideration, a $22.0 million
wraparound mortgage note. In March 1997, the wraparound note was modified and
extended in exchange for, among other things, the borrower's commitment to
invest $2.0 million in improvements to the hotel and casino within four months
of March 1997, and an additional $2.0 million prior to December 1997. The
borrower stopped making the payments required by the note in April 1997, and
did not make the required improvements. In December 1997, the borrower filed
for bankruptcy protection. In February 1998, a hearing was held to allow
foreclosure of the hotel and casino. At the hearing, the bankruptcy court
allowed that the borrower 90 days to submit a reorganization plan and
beginning March 2, 1998, required the borrower to make monthly payments of
$175,000. The Company received only the first such payment. The wraparound
mortgage note had a principal balance of $21.0 million at March 31, 1998. In
April 1998, the bankruptcy court allowed the foreclosure of the hotel and
casino. No loss was incurred on foreclosure as the fair value of the property
exceeded the carrying value of the Company's mortgage note.

   Loans Payable. The Company has margin arrangements with various brokerage
firms which provide for borrowings of up to 60% of the market value of
marketable equity securities. The borrowings under such margin arrangements
are secured by such equity securities and bear interest rates ranging from
7.0% to 11.0%. Margin borrowings totaled $35.8 million (approximately 43.9% of
market value) at December 31, 1998, compared to $53.4 million at December 31,
1997. See NOTE 10. "MARGIN BORROWINGS."

   In November 1998, the Company obtained a $95.0 million line of credit from
Garden Capital, L.P. ("GCLP"), a partnership controlled by National Operating,
L.P. ("NOLP"), the operating partnership of

                                      34
<PAGE>

National Realty, L.P. ("NRLP") collectively the Partnership. The Company
received fundings of $18.9 million in November 1998, $31.1 million in December
1998, and an additional $26.7 million in the first quarter of 1999. The line
of credit is secured by second liens on the Company's Waters Edge III,
Edgewater Gardens, Chateau Bayou and Sunset Apartments, Rosedale Towers Office
Building, Katy Road land and the stock of its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
National Management Corp. ("NMC"), the general partner of NRLP and NOLP, and
ART Holdings, Inc., which owns 3,349,535 NRLP units of limited partner
interest. The loan bears interest at 12% per annum, requires monthly interest
only payments and matures in November 2003. The Company accounted for its
investment in the Partnership under the equity method until December 1998 when
NMC was elected general partner of the Partnership. As of December 31, 1998,
the accounts of the Partnership are consolidated with those of the Company.
Such line of credit is eliminated in consolidation. See Note 2. "SYNTEK ASSET
MANAGEMENT, L.P."

   Equity Investments. During the fourth quarter of 1988, the Company began
purchasing shares of three Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") which have
the same advisor as the Company, and units of limited partner interest in
NRLP. It is anticipated that additional equity securities of NRLP and the
REITs will be acquired in the future through open-market and negotiated
transactions to the extent the Company's liquidity permits.

   Equity securities of the REITs and NRLP held by the Company may be deemed
to be "restricted securities" under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933
("Securities Act"). Accordingly, the Company may be unable to sell such equity
securities other than in a registered public offering or pursuant to an
exemption under the Securities Act for a one year period after they are
acquired. Such restrictions may reduce the Company's ability to realize the
full fair market value of such investments if the Company attempted to dispose
of such securities in a short period of time.

   The Company's cash flow from these investments is dependent on the ability
of each of the entities to make distributions. In 1998, the Company received
total distributions from the REITs of $1.8 million and $1.8 million from NRLP
and an additional $6.7 million, which was accrued at December 31, 1997, was
received in January 1998. The Company anticipates receiving distributions
totaling $4.0 million from the REITs and $1.7 million from NRLP in 1999.

   In June 1996, the Company resumed quarterly dividend payments on the
Company's Common Stock. The Company paid dividends totaling $2.3 million or
$.20 per share in 1998.

   Management reviews the carrying values of the Company's properties and
mortgage notes receivable at least annually and whenever events or a change in
circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. Impairment is considered to
exist if, in the case of a property, the future cash flow from the property
(undiscounted and without interest) is less than the carrying amount of the
property. For notes receivable impairment is considered to exist if it is
probable that all amounts due under the terms of the note will not be
collected. In those instances where impairment is found to exist, a provision
for loss is recorded by a charge against earnings. The Company's mortgage note
receivable review includes an evaluation of the collateral property securing
each note. The property review generally includes selective property
inspections, a review of the property's current rents compared to market
rents, a review of the property's expenses, a review of maintenance
requirements, a review of the property's cash flow, discussions with the
manager of the property and a review of properties in the surrounding area.

Results of Operations

   1998 Compared to 1997. The Company reported a net loss of $22.8 million in
1998 as compared to a net loss of $2.4 million in 1997. The primary factors
contributing to the Company's net loss are discussed in the following
paragraphs.

   Sales and cost of sales were $28.9 million and $24.8 million in 1998 and
$25.0 million and $20.0 million, in 1997. These items of revenue and cost
relate to Pizza World Supreme, Inc. ("PWSI"). PWSI experienced

                                      35
<PAGE>

lower profit margins in 1998 due to higher labor and pizza ingredient costs,
primarily cheese. Cheese prices have declined since January 1, 1999.

   Rents increased to $63.5 million in 1998 from $29.1 million in 1997. Rent
from commercial properties increased to $16.5 million in 1998 from $13.9
million in 1997, rent from hotels increased to $32.2 million in 1998 from
$14.9 million in 1997 and rent from apartments was $14.2 million in 1998. The
increase in rent from hotels was primarily attributable to a full year of
operations of the five hotels acquired in 1997, the increase in rent from
commercial properties was primarily attributable to a full year of operations
of the two shopping centers acquired in 1997 and apartment rent was due to the
36 apartments acquired in 1998. The Company owned no apartments in 1997.
Rental income is expected to increase significantly in 1999 as a result of the
consolidation of the Partnership's operations subsequent to December 31, 1998.
See NOTE 2. "SYNTEK ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P."

   Property operations expense increased to $49.2 million in 1998 from $24.2
million in 1997. Property operations expense for commercial properties of $9.7
million in 1998 approximated the $10.0 million in 1997, for hotels such
expense increased to $24.4 million in 1998 from $11.2 million in 1997, for
land it increased to $6.3 million in 1998 from $3.0 million in 1997 and for
apartments was $8.8 million in 1998. The increase in hotel property operations
expense was primarily due to a full year of operations of the five hotels
acquired in 1997, the increase for land was primarily due to the 16 land
parcels acquired in 1998. Property operations expense for apartments was due
to the 36 apartments acquired in 1998. The Company owned no apartments in
1997. Property operations expense is expected to increase significantly in
1999 as a result of the consolidation of the Partnership's operation
subsequent to December 31, 1998. See NOTE 2. "SYNTEK ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P."

   Interest income decreased to $188,000 in 1998 from $2.8 million in 1997.
The decrease was attributable to the sale of two notes receivable and the
foreclosure of the collateral securing a third note receivable in 1997 and the
foreclosure of the collateral securing a wraparound mortgage note receivable
in 1998. Interest income is expected to increase significantly in 1999 as
result of the consolidation of the Partnership's operations subsequent to
December  31, 1998. See "NOTE 2. SYNTEK ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P."

   Other income decreased to a loss of $5.5 million in 1998 from income of
$168,000 in 1997. This decrease was due to recognizing an unrealized loss on
marketable equity securities of $6.1 million in 1998, compared to an
unrealized loss of $850,000 in 1997. Also contributing to the decrease was a
decrease in dividend income and net gains on sales of marketable equity
securities of $15,000 and $260,000, respectively.

   Interest expense increased to $51.6 million in 1998 from $30.2 million in
1997. Of this increase, $7.5 million was due to a full year of interest on the
debt secured by the five hotels, two shopping centers and 24 parcels of land
acquired in 1997 and an additional $10.4 million was due to debt secured by 36
apartments and 16 parcels of land acquired in 1998. Interest on margin debt
also increased by $1.5 million and deferred borrowing costs by $3.5 million.
Interest is expected to increase significantly in 1999 as a result of the
consolidation of the Partnership's operations subsequent to December 31, 1998.
See NOTE 2. "SYNTEK ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P."

   Advisory and mortgage servicing fees increased to $3.8 million in 1998 from
$2.7 million in 1997. The increase was attributable to the increase in the
Company's gross assets, the basis for such fee. Such fee will continue to
increase as the Company's gross assets increase.

   General and administrative expenses increased to $8.5 million in 1998 from
$7.8 million in 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to the general
and administrative expenses of a development subsidiary established in 1998.
General and administrative expenses are expected to increase significantly in
1999 as a result of the consolidation of the Partnership's operations
subsequent to December 31, 1998. See NOTE 2. "SYNTEK ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P."


                                      36
<PAGE>

   Depreciation and amortization increased to $7.0 million in 1998 from $3.5
million in 1997. The increase was due to a full year of depreciation on the
five hotels and two shopping centers acquired in 1997 and 36 apartments
acquired in 1998. Depreciation and amortization is expected to increase
significantly in 1999 as a result of the consolidation of the Partnership's
results subsequent to December 31, 1998. See NOTE 2. "SYNTEK ASSET MANAGEMENT,
L.P."

   In the third and fourth quarters of 1998, provisions for loss of $3.0
million and $916,000 respectively, were recorded to write down the Valley
Ranch land to its estimated realizable value less estimated costs of sale.
Such write downs were necessitated by an increase in the acreage designated as
flood plain. The Company recorded no such provision in 1997.

   In December 1998, upon the election of NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company, as general partner of the Partnership, NMC assumed liability for
certain legal settlement payments. Such obligation is included in litigation
expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. See NOTE 2.
"SYNTEK ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P."

   Minority interest increased to $3.2 million in 1998 from $1.4 million in
1997. Minority interest is the preferred return paid on limited partner units
of certain controlled limited partnerships. Minority interest in 1997 was
attributable to the preferred returns paid on a limited partner units of Ocean
Beach Partners, L.P., Valley Ranch, L.P., Grapevine American, L.P., Edina Park
Plaza Associates, L.P. and Hawthorne Lakes Associations, L.P. In 1998
preferred returns paid on limited partner units for ART Florida Portfolio III
and ART Palm, L.L.C. also were included.

   Equity in income of investees increased to $38.0 million in 1998 from $10.5
million in 1997. The increase in equity income was attributable to an increase
totaling $55.2 million in gains on sale of real estate in Income Opportunity
Realty Investors, Inc. ("IORI"), the Partnership and Transcontinental Realty
Investors, Inc. ("TCI") offset in part by a decrease of $1.2 million in
Continental Mortgage and Equity Trust ("CMET"). The Company's equity share of
such gains was $33.3 million. This net increase was offset by decreased
operating income totaling $7.5 million in IORI, the Partnership and CMET
offset in part by an increase in operating income of $3.1 million in TCI. The
Company's equity share of equity investees' net operating losses was $6.9
million. Equity in income of investees is expected to decrease significantly
in 1999 as a result of the consolidation of the Partnership's operations
subsequent to December 31, 1998. See NOTE 2 "SYNTEK ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P."

   Gains on sale of real estate decreased to $17.3 million in 1998 from $20.3
million in 1997. In 1998, the Company recognized gains of $663,000 on the sale
of three tracts totaling 78.5 acres of its Valley Ranch land in Irving, Texas;
$1.9 million on its Lewisville land in Lewisville, Texas; $714,000 on a 21.3
acre tract of its Parkfield land in Denver, Colorado; $848,000 on a 21.6 acre
tract of its Chase Oaks land in Plano, Texas; $789,000 on a 150.0 acre tract
of its Rasor land in Plano, Texas; $3.9 million on its Palm Desert land in
Palm Desert, California; $869,000 on a 2.5 acre tract of its Las Colinas I
land in Las Colinas, Texas; $898,000 on its Kamperman land in Collin County,
Texas; $3.4 million on its final 10.5 acre tract of BP Las Colinas land in Las
Colinas, Texas; $409,000 on a 1.1 acre tract of its Santa Clarita land in
Santa Clarita, California; $2.6 million on a 20.8 acre tract of its Mason
Goodrich land in Houston, Texas, and the Company recognized a $179,000
previously deferred gain on a sale of its Valley Ranch land in 1997. In 1997,
the Company recognized gains of $5.9 million on the sale of a 49.7 acre tract
of BP Las Colinas land in Las Colinas, Texas; $3.5 million on the sale of
tracts totaling 116.8 acres of Valley Ranch land in Irving, Texas; $2.7
million on the sale of a 12.5 acre tract of Las Colinas I land in Las Colinas,
Texas; $3.6 million on the sale of Pin Oak land in Houston, Texas; $216,000 on
the sale of a 99.7 acre tract of Kamperman land in Collin County, Texas;
$371,000 on the sale of a 32.0 acre tract of Parkfield land in Denver,
Colorado; $211,000 on the sale of a 86.5 acre tract of Rasor land in Plano,
Texas; $106,000 on the sale of Park Plaza Shopping Center in Manitowoc,
Wisconsin; $480,000 on the sale of the Mopac Building in St. Louis, Missouri;
and $172,000 on the sale of a mortgage note receivable. The Company also
recognized a previously deferred gain of $3.0 million on the sale of Porticos
Apartments. See NOTE 5. "REAL ESTATE."

   1997 Compared to 1996. The Company reported a net loss of $2.4 million in
1997, as compared to a net loss of $5.6 million in 1996. The primary factors
contributing to the Company's net loss are discussed in the following
paragraphs.

   Sales and cost of sales were $25.0 million and $20.0 million in 1997 and
$14.4 million and $11.0 million in 1996. The Company acquired 80% of the
outstanding common stock of PWSI in April 1996. The Company had no sales or
cost of sales prior to April 1996. These items of revenue and cost relate to
PWSI. In April 1996, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired 80% of
the common stock of PWSI. See NOTE 8. "ACQUISITION OF PIZZA WORLD SUPREME,
INC."

   Rents increased from $20.7 million in 1996 to $29.1 million in 1997. Rent
from hotels increased from $6.1 million in 1996 to $14.9 million in 1997 and
rent from commercial properties increased from $12.4 million in 1996 to $13.8
million in 1997. The increase in rent from hotels was due to the acquisition
of four hotels in October 1997 and the obtaining of a fifth hotel through
foreclosure in September 1997. The increase in rent from commercial properties
was due to the acquisition of a shopping center in September 1997.

   Property operations expense increased from $15.9 million in 1996 to $24.2
million in 1997. Property operations expense for hotels increased from $4.8
million in 1996 to $11.2 million in 1997, for commercial properties it
decreased from $10.4 million in 1996 to $10.0 million in 1997 and for land
such expense increased from $735,000 in 1996 to $3.0 million in 1997. The
increase in hotel property operations expense was due to the acquisition of
the four hotels in October 1997 and the obtaining of a fifth hotel through
foreclosure in September 1997, the decrease for commercial properties was due
to control of property operations expenses, primarily at the Company's
merchandise mart and the increase for land was due to 24 land parcels acquired
in 1997.

   Interest income decreased from $4.8 million in 1996 to $2.8 million in
1997. This decrease was primarily attributable to the sale of two notes
receivable and the collection of a third note receivable in 1997.

   Other income decreased from $1.7 million in 1996 to $168,000 in 1997. This
decrease was due in part to recognizing a unrealized gain on marketable equity
securities of $486,000 in 1996 compared to an unrealized loss of $850,000 in
1997. This decrease was also attributable in part to a decrease in dividend
income and net gains on sales of marketable equity securities of $67,000 and
$56,000, respectively.

   Interest expense increased from $16.5 million in 1996 to $30.2 million in
1997. Of this increase, $10.8 million was due to the debt secured by the Best
Western Oceanside Hotel acquired in 1996 and the Williamsburg Hospitality
House, Piccadilly Hotels, Pin Oak land, Scout land, Katy Road land, McKinney
land, Lacy Longhorn land, Santa Clarita land, Chase Oaks land, Pioneer
Crossing land, Pantex land, Keller land, Perkins land, Rasor land, Dowdy land,
Palm Desert land and LBJ land acquired in 1997, $2.0 million due to additional
borrowings and a full year of interest on the loan secured by NRLP units and
$1.1 million due to refinancing the debt secured by the Kansas City Holiday
Inn and Denver Merchandise Mart.

   Advisory and mortgage servicing fees increased from $1.5 million in 1996 to
$2.7 million in 1997. The increase was attributable to the increase in the
Company's gross assets, the basis for such fee.

   General and administrative expenses, increased from $3.9 million in 1996 to
$7.8 million in 1997. The increase was attributable to a $1.1 million increase
in legal fees and travel expenses in 1997 relating to potential acquisitions,
financings and refinancings, a $1.1 million increase in advisor cost
reimbursements and $1.3 million attributable to a full year of general and

SUPREME, INC."

   Depreciation and amortization increased from $2.4 million in 1996 to $3.5
million in 1997 due to the acquisition of six properties in 1997.

   Minority interest in 1997 is the preferred return paid on limited partner
units of Ocean Beach Partners, L.P., Valley Ranch, L.P., Grapevine American,
L.P., Edina Park Plaza Associates, L.P. and Hawthorne Lakes Associates, L.P.

   Equity in income of investees increased from $1.5 million in 1996 to $10.5
million in 1997. The increase in equity income was primarily attributable to
an increase of $32.1 million in gains on sale of real estate in IORI, NRLP and
TCI offset by a decrease of $1.9 million in CMET. The Company's equity share
of such gains was $13.5 million. The increase was also attributable to an
improvement in income from property operations for the REITs and NRLP, from
increased rental rates and operating expense control.

   Gains on the sale of real estate increased from $3.7 million in 1996 to
$20.3 million in 1997. In 1996, the Company recognized a $2.0 million gain on
the sale of a 32.3 acre tract of BP Las Colinas land in Las Colinas, Texas,
and a $1.1 million gain on the sale of a 4.6 acre tract of Las Colinas I land
also in Las Colinas, Texas. In 1997, the Company recognized gains of $5.9
million on the sale of a 49.7 acre tract of BP Las Colinas land in Las
Colinas, Texas; $3.5 million on the sale of tracts totaling 116.8 acres of
Valley Ranch land in Irving, Texas; $2.7 million on the sale of a 12.5 acre
tract of Las Colinas I land in Las Colinas, Texas; $3.6 million on the sale of
Pin Oak land in Houston, Texas; $216,000 on the sale of a 99.7 acre tract of
Kamperman land in Collin County, Texas; $371,000 on the sale of a 32.0 acre
tract of Parkfield land in Denver, Colorado; $211,000 on the sale of a 86.5
acre tract of Rasor land in Plano, Texas; $106,000 on the sale of Park Plaza
Shopping Center in Manitowoc, Wisconsin; $480,000 on the sale of the Mopac
Building in St. Louis, Missouri; and $172,000 on the sale of a mortgage note
receivable. The Company also recognized a previously deferred gain of $3.0
million on the sale of Porticos Apartments. See NOTE 5. "REAL ESTATE."

   The Company reported $381,000 in extraordinary gains in 1996 compared to no
extraordinary gains in 1997. The 1996 extraordinary gains were the Company's
equity share of equity investees' extraordinary gains from the early payoff of
debt and from an insurance settlement.

Environmental Matters

   Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, the Company may be potentially liable for removal or remediation
costs, as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic
substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property)
where property-level managers have arranged for the removal, disposal or
treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, certain environmental
laws impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials into the
air, and third parties may seek recovery 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 the Company's
business, assets or results of operations.

Inflation

   The effects of inflation on the Company's operations are not quantifiable.
Revenues from property 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 financings as
well as the cost of variable interest rate debt will be affected.

Year 2000

   Basic Capital Management, Inc. ("BCM"), the Company's advisor, has informed
management that its computer hardware operating system and computer software
have been certified as year 2000 compliant.

   Carmel Realty Services, Ltd. ("Carmel, Ltd."), an affiliate of BCM that
performs property management services for the Company's properties, has
informed management that effective January 1, 1999, it began using

                                      39
<PAGE>

year 2000 compliant computer hardware and property management software for the
Company's commercial properties. With regard to the Company's apartments,
Carmel, Ltd. has informed management that its subcontractors either have in
place or will have in place in the first quarter of 1999, year 2000 compliant
computer hardware and property management software.

   The Company has not incurred, nor does it expect to incur, any costs
related to its computer hardware and accounting and property management
software being modified, upgraded or replaced in order to make it year 2000
compliant. Such costs have been or will be borne by either BCM, Carmel, Ltd.
or the property management subcontractors of Carmel, Ltd.

   Management has completed its evaluation of the Company's computer
controlled building systems, such as security, elevators, heating and cooling,
etc., to determine what systems are not year 2000 compliant. Management
believes that necessary modifications to such systems are insignificant and do
not require significant expenditures to make the affected system year 2000
compliant, as enhanced operating systems are readily available.

   The Company has or will have in place the year 2000 compliant systems that
will allow it to operate. The risks the Company faces are that certain of its
vendors will not be able to supply goods or services and that financial
institutions and taxing authorities will not be able to accurately apply
payments made to them. Management believes that other vendors are readily
available and that financial institutions and taxing authorities will, if
necessary, apply monies received manually. The likelihood of the above having
a significant impact on the Company's operations is negligible.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES REGARDING MARKET RISK

   The Company's future operations, cash flow and fair values of financial
instruments are partially dependent upon the then existing market interest
rates and market equity prices. Market risk is the changes in the market rates
and prices, and the affect of the changes on the future operations of the
Company. The Company manages its market risk by matching the property's
anticipated net operating income to an appropriate financing.

   The following table contains only those exposures that existed at December
31, 1998. Anticipation of exposures of risk on positions that could possibly
arise was not considered. The Company's ultimate interest rate risk and its
affect on the operations will depend on future capital market exposures, which
cannot be anticipated with a probable assurance level. Dollars in thousands.

              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors of
American Realty Trust, Inc.

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American
Realty Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. We
have also audited the schedules listed in the accompanying index. These
financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedules based on our audits.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
schedules are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and schedules. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedules.
We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of American Realty Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

   Also, in our opinion, the schedules referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the information set forth therein.

                          AMERICAN REALTY TRUST, INC.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of American Realty
Trust, Inc. and consolidated entities (the "Company") have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the most significant
of which are described in NOTE 1. "SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES." These, along with the remainder of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, are an integral part of the Consolidated Financial
Statements. The data presented in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements are as of December 31 of each year and for the year then ended,
unless otherwise indicated. Dollar amounts in tables are in thousands, except
per share amounts.

   Certain balances for 1996 and 1997 have been reclassified to conform to the
1998 presentation. Shares and per share data have been restated for a 2 for 1
forward Common Stock split effected February 17, 1997.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Organization and company business. American Realty Trust, Inc. ("ART"), a
Georgia corporation, is successor to a District of Columbia business trust,
that primarily invests in real estate and real estate-related entities and
purchases and originates mortgage loans.

   Basis of consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the
accounts of ART, and all controlled subsidiaries and partnerships other than
National Realty, L.P. ("NRLP") prior to December 31, 1998. The Company used
the equity method to account for its investment in NRLP prior to December 31,
1998, and prior to May 1997. See NOTE 2. "SYNTEK ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P.". All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

   Accounting estimates. In the preparation of the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles it was necessary for management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial
Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expense for the year then
ended. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

   Interest recognition on notes receivable. It is the Company's policy to
cease recognizing interest income on notes receivable that have been
delinquent for 60 days or more. In addition, accrued but unpaid interest
income is only recognized to the extent that the net realizable value of the
underlying collateral exceeds the carrying value of the receivable.

   Allowance for estimated losses. Valuation allowances are provided for
estimated losses on notes receivable considered to be impaired. Impairment is
considered to exist when it is probable that all amounts due under the terms
of the note will not be collected. Valuation allowances are provided for
estimated losses on notes receivable to the extent that the Company's
investment in the note exceeds management's estimate of fair value of the
collateral securing such note.

   Real estate held for investment and depreciation. Real estate held for
investment is carried at cost. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121 ("SFAS No. 121") requires that a property be considered impaired, if the
sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest
charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property. If impairment
exists, an impairment loss is recognized by a charge against earnings, equal
to the amount by which the carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair
value of the property. If impairment of a property is recognized, the carrying
amount of the property is reduced by the amount of the impairment, and a new
cost for the property is established. Such new cost is depreciated over the
property's remaining useful life. Depreciation is provided by the straight-
line method over estimated useful lives, which range from 10 to 40 years.

                          AMERICAN REALTY TRUST, INC.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


   Real estate held for sale. Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at
new cost, defined as the lower of original cost or fair value minus estimated
costs of sale. SFAS No. 121 also requires that properties held for sale be
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs of sale. If
a reduction in a held for sale property's carrying amount to fair value less
costs of sale is required, a provision for loss shall be recognized by a
charge against earnings. Subsequent revisions, either upward or downward, to a
held for sale property's estimated fair value less costs of sale is recorded
as an adjustment to the property's carrying amount, but not in excess of the
property's carrying amount when originally classified as held for sale. A
corresponding charge against or credit to earnings is recognized. Properties
held for sale are not depreciated.

   Investments in equity investees. Because the Company may be considered to
have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and
investment policies of certain of its investees, they are accounted for by the
equity method. Under the equity method, the Company's initial investment,
recorded at cost, is increased by its proportionate share of the investee's
operating income and any additional investment and decreased by the Company's
proportionate share of the investee's operating losses and distributions
received.

   Present value premiums/discounts. The Company provides for present value
premiums and discounts on notes receivable or payable that have interest rates
that differ substantially from prevailing market rates and amortizes such
premiums and discounts by the interest method over the lives of the related
notes. The factors considered in determining a market rate for notes
receivable include the borrower's credit standing, nature of the collateral
and payment terms of the note.

   Revenue recognition on the sale of real estate. Sales of real estate are
recognized when and to the extent permitted by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate" ("SFAS No.
66"). Until the requirements of SFAS No. 66 for full profit recognition have
been met, transactions are accounted for using either the deposit, the
installment, the cost recovery, the financing or other method, whichever is
appropriate.

   Operating segments. Management has determined that the Company's reportable
operating segments are those that are based on the Company's method of
internal reporting, which disaggregates its operations by type of real estate.

   Fair value of financial instruments. The Company used the following
assumptions in estimating the fair value of its notes receivable, marketable
equity securities and notes payable. For performing notes receivable, the fair
value was estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest
rates for similar loans. For nonperforming notes receivable the estimated fair
value of the Company's interest in the collateral property was used. For
marketable equity securities fair value was based on the year end closing
market price of each security. For notes payable the fair value was estimated
using current rates for mortgages with similar terms and maturities.

   Cash equivalents. For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with
an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

   Loss per share. Loss per share is presented in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Loss per share
is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding during each year, adjusted for a two for one forward Common Stock
split effected February 17, 1997.

NOTE 2. SYNTEK ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P.

   The Company owns a 96% limited partner interest in Syntek Asset Management,
L.P. ("SAMLP"). Until December 18, 1998, SAMLP was the general partner of
National Realty, L.P. ("NRLP") and National Operating, L.P. ("NOLP"), the
operating partnership of NRLP, (collectively the "Partnership"). Gene E.
Phillips, a Director and Chairman of the Board of the Company until November
16, 1992, is also a general partner of SAMLP. As of December 31, 1998, the
Company owned approximately 55.0% of the outstanding limited partner units of
NRLP.

   NRLP, SAMLP and Mr. Phillips were among the defendants in a class action
lawsuit arising from the formation of NRLP. An agreement settling such lawsuit
(the "Settlement Agreement") for the above named defendants became effective
on July 5, 1990. The Settlement Agreement provided for, among other things,
the appointment of an NRLP oversight committee and the establishment of
specified annually increasing targets for five years relating to the price of
NRLP's units of limited partner interest.

   The Settlement Agreement provided for the resignation and replacement of
SAMLP as general partner if the unit price targets were not met for two
consecutive anniversary dates. NRLP did not meet the unit price targets for
the first and second anniversary dates. On July 8, 1992, SAMLP notified the
NRLP oversight committee of the failure of NRLP to meet the unit price targets
for two successive years and that it expected to resign as general partner of
NRLP and NOLP.

   The Settlement Agreement provided that the withdrawal of SAMLP as general
partner would require NRLP to purchase SAMLP's general partner interest (the
"Redeemable General Partner Interest") at its then fair value, and to pay
certain fees and other compensation as provided in the NRLP partnership
agreement. Syntek Asset Management, Inc. ("SAMI"), the managing general
partner of SAMLP, calculated the fair value of such Redeemable General Partner
Interest to be $49.6 million at December 31, 1997, before reduction for the
principal balance ($4.2 million at December 31, 1997) and accrued interest
($7.2 million at December 31, 1997) on the note receivable from SAMLP for its
original capital contribution to the partnership.

   On July 15, 1998, NRLP, SAMLP and the NRLP oversight committee executed an
Agreement for Cash Distribution and Election of Successor General Partner (the
"Cash Distribution Agreement") which provides for the nomination of an entity
affiliated with SAMLP to be the successor general partner of NRLP, for the
distribution of $11.4 million to the plaintiff class members and for the
resolution of all related matters under the Settlement Agreement. The Cash
Distribution Agreement was submitted to the Court on July 23, 1998. On August
4, 1998, the Court entered an order granting preliminary approval of the Cash
Distribution Agreement. On September 9, 1998, a notice was mailed to the
plaintiff class members describing the Cash Distribution Agreement. On October
16, 1998, a hearing was held to consider any objections to the Cash
Distribution Agreement. On October 23, 1998, the Court entered an order
granting final approval of the Cash Distribution Agreement. The Court also
entered orders requiring NRLP to pay $404,000 in attorney's fees to Joseph B.
Moorman's legal counsel, $30,000 to Joseph B. Moorman and $404,000 in
attorney's fees to Robert A. McNeil's legal counsel.

   Pursuant to the order, $11.4 million was deposited by NRLP into an escrow
account and then transferred to the control of an independent settlement
administrator. The distribution of the cash shall be made to the plaintiff
class members pro rata based upon the number of units originally issued to
each plaintiff class member upon the formation of NRLP in 1987. The
distribution of cash is under the control of the independent settlement
administrator. On March 10, 1999, the Court entered an order providing for the
initial distribution of the cash not later than March 31, 1999.

   The proposal to elect NRLP Management Corp. ("NMC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, as the successor general partner was submitted to
the unitholders of NRLP for a vote at a special meeting of unitholders held on
December 18, 1998. All units of NRLP owned by the Company and affiliates of
SAMLP

                                      51

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

(approximately 61.5% of the outstanding units of NRLP as of the November 27,
1998 record date) were voted pro rata with the vote of the other limited
partners. NMC was elected by a majority of the NRLP unitholders. The
Settlement Agreement remained in effect until December 18, 1998, when SAMLP
resigned as general partner and NMC was elected successor general partner and
took office.

   Under the Cash Distribution Agreement, SAMLP waived its right under the
Settlement Agreement to receive any payment from NRLP for its Redeemable
General Partner Interest and fees it was entitled to receive upon the election
of a successor general partner. As of December 31, 1997, the Redeemable
General Partner Interest was calculated to be $49.6 million. In addition,
pursuant to the Cash Distribution Agreement, the NRLP partnership agreement
was amended to provide that, upon voluntary resignation of the general
partner, the resigning general partner shall not be entitled to the repurchase
of its general partner interest under Paragraph 17.9 of the NRLP partnership
agreement.

   Under the Cash Distribution Agreement, NMC assumed liability for SAMLP's
note for its original capital contribution to NRLP. In addition, NMC assumed
liability for the note which requires the repayment of the $11.4 million paid
by NRLP under the Cash Distribution Agreement, plus the $808,000 in court
ordered attorney's fees and $30,000 paid to Joseph B. Moorman. This note
requires repayment over a ten-year period, bears interest at a variable rate,
currently 7.0% per annum, and is guaranteed by the Company, the parent of NMC.
The liability assumed under the Cash Distribution Agreement was expensed as a
"litigation settlement" in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of
Operations.

   As of December 31, 1998, the Company discontinued accounting for its
investment in the Partnership under the equity method upon the election of NMC
as general partner of the Partnership and the settlement of the class action
lawsuit. The Company began consolidation of the Partnership's accounts at that
date and its operations subsequent to that date. The consolidation of the
accounts of the Company with those of the Partnership (after intercompany
eliminations) resulted in an increase in the Partnership's net real estate of
$60.6 million. This amount was allocated to the individual real estate assets
based on their relative individual fair market value.

   The Partnership's operating results for 1998 were as follows:

   The Company recognizes interest income on nonperforming notes receivable on
a cash basis. For the years 1998, 1997 and 1996 unrecognized interest income
on such nonperforming notes receivable totaled $716,000, $2.2 million and $1.6
million, respectively.

   Notes receivable at December 31, 1998, mature from 1999 to 2009 with
interest rates ranging from 7.2% to 18.0% per annum and a weighted average
rate of 11.9% per annum. Notes receivable are generally collateralized by real
estate or interests in real estate and personal guarantees of the borrower. A
majority of the notes receivable provide for interest to be paid at maturity.
Scheduled principal maturities of $37.0 million are due in 1999 of which $3.2
million is due on nonperforming notes receivable.

   In December 1997, the Company sold its Pin Oak land, a 567.6 acre parcel of
unimproved land in Houston, Texas, for $11.4 million, receiving net cash of
$3.5 million and providing $6.9 million in short-term purchase money
financing. The purchase money financing was collected in full in January 1998,
the Company receiving net cash of $1.5 million after paying off $5.2 million
in underlying mortgage debt and the payment of various closing costs.

   In December 1997, the Company sold a 25.1 acre tract of its Valley Ranch
land parcel, for $3.3 million, receiving net cash of $2.2 million and

   In June 1992, the Company sold the Continental Hotel and Casino in Las
Vegas, Nevada for, among other consideration, a $22.0 million wraparound
mortgage note. The Company recorded a deferred gain of $4.6 million on the
sale resulting from a disputed third lien mortgage being subordinated to the
Company's wraparound mortgage note. In March 1997, the wraparound note was
modified and extended in exchange for the borrower's commitment to invest $2.0
million in improvements to the hotel and casino within four months of March
1997, and an additional $2.0 million prior to December 1997. The borrower
stopped making the payments required by the note in April 1997, and did not
make the required improvements. In December 1997, the borrower filed for
bankruptcy protection. In February 1998, a hearing was held to allow
foreclosure of the hotel and casino. At the hearing, the bankruptcy court
allowed the borrower 90 days to submit a reorganization plan and beginning
March 2, 1998 required the borrower to make monthly payments of $175,000. The
Company received only the first such payment. The wraparound mortgage note had
a principal balance of $22.7 million at March 31, 1998. In April 1998, the
bankruptcy court allowed the foreclosure of the hotel and casino. No loss was
incurred on foreclosure as the fair market value of the property exceeded the
carrying value of the mortgage note. The property is included in real estate
held for investment in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

   The Company's management continues to believe that the market value of each
of the REITs and NRLP undervalues their assets and the Company has, therefore,
continued to increase its ownership in these entities in 1998, as its
liquidity has permitted.

   In April 1996, the Company purchased a 28% general partner interest in
Campbell Center Associates, Ltd. ("Campbell Associates"), which in turn had a

and $300,000 was distributed to the Company as general partner. The seller
financing was collected at maturity, in July 1998, with the net cash
distributed $1.1 million to the limited partner and $1.1 million to the

Stock. All grants are determined by the Option Committee of the Board of
Directors. Options granted pursuant to the Option Plan are exercisable
beginning one year after the date of grant and expire the earlier of three
months after termination of employment or ten years from the date of grant.

   The following table summarizes stock option activity:

   In January 1999, the Company's stockholders approved the Director's Stock
Option Plan ("Director's Plan") which provides for options to purchase up to

on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date on which a Director ceases
to be a Director or ten years from the date of grant. Each Independent
Director was granted an option to purchase 1,000 shares at an exercise price
of $16.25 per share on January 11, 1999, the date stockholders approved the
plan. Each Independent Director will be awarded an option to purchase an
additional 1,000 shares on January 1 of each year.

   The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations in accounting for
its Option Plans. All share options issued by the Company have exercise prices
equal to the market price of the shares at the dates of grant. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized for its option plans. Had compensation
cost for the Company's option plans been determined based on the fair value at
the grant dates consistent with the method of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,", the
Company's net loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro
forma amounts indicated below.

NOTE 15. ADVISORY AGREEMENT

   Although the Board of Directors is directly responsible for managing the
affairs of the Company and for setting the policies which guide it, the day-
to-day operations of the Company are performed by BCM, a contractual advisor
under the supervision of the Board of Directors. The duties of the advisor
include, among other things, locating, investigating, evaluating and
recommending real estate and mortgage loan investment and sales opportunities
as well as financing and refinancing sources. BCM as advisor also serves as a
consultant in connection with the Company's business plan and investment
policy decisions made by the Board of Directors.

   BCM has been providing advisory services to the Company since February 6,
1989. BCM is a company owned by a trust for the benefit of the children of
Gene E. Phillips. Mr. Phillips served as Chairman of the Board and as a
Director of the Company until November 16, 1992. Mr. Phillips also served as a
director of BCM until December 22, 1989, and as Chief Executive Officer of BCM
until September 1, 1992. Mr. Phillips serves as a representative of the trust
for the benefit of his children that owns BCM and, in such capacity, has
substantial contact with the management of BCM and input with respect to BCM's
performance of advisory services to the Company. Karl L. Blaha, President and
a Director of the Company serves as Executive Vice President--Commercial Asset
Management of BCM.

   The Advisory Agreement provides that BCM shall receive base compensation at
the rate of 0.125% per month (1.5% on an annualized basis) of the Company's
Average Invested Assets. On October 23, 1991, based

                                      70
<PAGE>

                          AMERICAN REALTY TRUST, INC.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

on the recommendation of BCM, the Board of Directors approved a reduction in
BCM's base advisory fee by 50% effective October 1, 1991. This reduction
remains in effect until the Company's earnings for the four preceding quarters
equals or exceeds $.50 per share.

   In addition to base compensation, the Advisory Agreement provides that BCM,
or an affiliate of BCM, receive an acquisition fee for locating, leasing or
purchasing real estate for the Company; a disposition fee for the sale of each
equity investment in real estate; a loan arrangement fee; an incentive fee
equal to 10% of net income for the year in excess of a 10% return on
stockholders' equity, and 10% of the excess of net capital gains over net
capital losses, if any; and a mortgage placement fee, on mortgage loans
originated or purchased.

   The Advisory Agreement further provides that BCM shall bear the cost of
certain expenses of its employees not directly identifiable to the Company's
assets, liabilities, operations, business or financial affairs; and
miscellaneous administrative expenses relating to the performance of its
duties under the Advisory Agreement.

   If and to the extent that the Company shall request BCM, or any director,
officer, partner or employee of BCM, to render services to the Company other
than those required to be rendered by BCM under the Advisory Agreement, such
additional services, if performed, will be compensated separately on terms
agreed upon between such party and the Company from time to time. The Company
has requested that BCM perform loan administration functions, and the Company
and BCM have entered into a separate agreement, as described below.

   The Advisory Agreement automatically renews from year to year unless
terminated in accordance with its terms. Management believes that the terms of
the Advisory Agreement are at least as fair as could be obtained from
unaffiliated third parties. Since October 4, 1989, BCM has acted as loan
administration/servicing agent for the Company, under an agreement terminable
by either party upon thirty days' notice, under which BCM services the
Company's mortgage notes and receives as compensation a monthly fee of .125%
of the month-end outstanding principal balances of the mortgage notes
serviced.

NOTE 16. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

   Since February 1, 1990, affiliates of BCM have provided property management
services to the Company. Currently, Carmel Realty Services, Ltd. ("Carmel,
Ltd.") provides property management services for a fee of 5% or less of the
monthly gross rents collected on the properties under its management. Carmel,
Ltd. subcontracts with other entities for property-level management services

NOTE 18. OPERATING SEGMENTS

   Significant differences among the accounting policies of the segments as
compared to the Company's consolidated financial statements principally
involve the calculation and allocation of administrative expenses. Management
evaluates the performance of its operating segments and allocates resources to
them based on net operating income and cash flow. The Company based
reconciliation of expenses that are not reflected in the segments is $8.2
million of administrative expenses. There are no intersegment revenues and
expenses and the Company conducts all of its business within the United
States.

   The table below presents information about the reported operating income of
the Company for 1998 and 1997. Asset information by operating segment is also
presented below.

NOTE 19. INCOME TAXES

   Financial statement loss varies from federal tax return loss, 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 the difference in the allowance for estimated losses.
At December 31, 1998, the Company had tax net operating loss carryforwards of
$29.0 million expiring through 2018.

   At December 31, 1998, the Company had a deferred tax benefit of $8.0
million due to tax deductions available to it in future years. However, due
to, among other factors, the Company's inconsistent earnings history, the
Company was unable to conclude that the future realization of such deferred
tax benefit, which requires the generation of taxable income, was more likely
than not. Accordingly, a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the
deferred tax benefit has been recorded.

NOTE 20. EXTRAORDINARY GAIN

   In 1996, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain of $381,000
representing its equity share of equity investees' extraordinary gains from
the early payoff of debt and from an insurance settlement.

NOTE 21. RENTS UNDER OPERATING LEASES

   The Company's operations include the leasing of commercial properties
(office buildings, shopping centers and a merchandise mart). The leases
thereon expire at various dates through 2013. The following is a schedule of
minimum future rents under non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31,

NOTE 23. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

   Liquidity. Although the Company anticipated that it would generate excess
cash from operations in 1998, such excess cash did not materialize and,
therefore, was not sufficient to discharge all of the Company's debt
obligations as they became due. The Company relied on additional borrowings
and, to a lesser extent, land sales to meet its cash requirements. In 1999,
the Company expects that it will generate excess cash from operations, due to
increased rental rates and occupancy at its properties, however, such excess
will not be sufficient to discharge all of the Company's debt obligations as
they mature. The Company will also rely on aggressive land sales, selected
property sales and, to the extent necessary, additional borrowings to meet its
cash requirements.

   Litigation. The Company is involved in various lawsuits arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company's management the
outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material impact on the Company's
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

NOTE 24. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

   In January 1999, the Partnership sold the 199 unit Olde Towne Apartments in
Middleton, Ohio, for $4.6 million, receiving net cash of $4.4 million after
the payment of various closing costs. A gain will be recognized on the sale.

   In February 1999, the Company purchased Frisco Bridges land, a 336.8 parcel
of unimproved land in Collin County, Texas, for $46.8 million. The Company
paid $7.8 million in cash and obtained mortgage financing totaling $39.0
million. Seller financing in the amount of $22.0 million, secured by 191.5
acres of the parcel, bears interest at 14% per annum, requires monthly
interest only payment, and matures in January 2000. A mortgage in the amount
of $15.0 million, secured by 125.0 acres of the parcel, bears interest at the
prime rate plus 4.5%, currently 12.25% per annum, requires three quarterly
principal reduction payments of $3.0 million on each of May 1, August 1 and
November 1, 1999 in addition to monthly interest payments and matures in
February 2000. Another mortgage in the amount of $2.0 million, secured by 13.5
acres of the parcel, bears interest at 14% per annum, requires monthly
interest only payments and matures in January 2000. The Company's Double O
land in Las Colinas, Texas and its Desert Wells land in Palm Desert,
California are pledged as additional collateral for these loans. The Company
drew down $6.0 million under its line of credit with the CCLP, for a portion
of the cash requirement.

   Also in February 1999, the Company sold a 4.6 acre tract of its Plano
Parkway land parcel, for $1.2 million. Simultaneously with the sale, the
mortgage debt secured by such land parcel was refinanced in the amount of $7.1
million. The new mortgage bears interest at the prime rate plus 4.5%,
currently 12.25% per annum, requires monthly interest only payments and
matures in January 2000. The net cash from the sale and refinancing along with
an additional $921,000 were used to payoff the $8.9 million mortgage secured
by the land parcel.

   Further in February 1999, the Partnership sold the 225 unit Santa Fe
Apartments in Kansas City, Missouri, for $4.6 million, receiving net cash of
$4.3 million after the payment of various closing costs. A gain will be
recognized on the sale.

   In February 1999, the Partnership sold the 480 unit Mesa Ridge Apartments
in Mesa, Arizona, for $19.5 million, receiving net cash of $793,000 after the
payment of various closing costs and remitting $17.8 million to the lender to
hold in escrow pending a substitution of collateral. Such funds will be
released when substitute collateral is approved. If substitute collateral is
not provided by August 1999, $13.0 million of the escrow will be applied
against the mortgage's principal balance, approximately $885,000 will be
retained by the lender as a prepayment penalty and the remaining $3.9 million
will be returned to the Partnership. A gain will be recognized on the sale.

   Also in February 1999, GCLP funded a $5.0 million unsecured loan to
Davister Corp., which at December 31, 1998, owned approximately 15.8% of the
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock. The loan bears interest at
12.0% per annum and matures in February 2000. All principal and interest are
due at maturity. The loan is guaranteed by BCM.

   In March 1999, the Company sold two tracts totaling 9.9 acres of its
Mason/Goodrich land parcel, for $956,000, receiving net cash of $33,000 after
paying down by $860,000 the mortgage secured by such land parcel and the
payment of various closing costs. A gain will be recognized on the sale.

   Also in March 1999, the Company sold a 13.7 acre tract of its McKinney
Corners II and IV land parcels, for $7.7 million, receiving no net cash after
paying down by $5.5 million the mortgage debt secured by such land parcels,
the funding of required escrows and the payment of various closing costs. A
gain will be recognized on the sale.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

   Under the securities laws of the United States, the Company's Directors,
executive officers, and any persons holding more than ten percent of the
Company's shares of Common Stock are required to report their ownership and
any changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"). Specific due dates for these reports have been established and
the Company is required to report any failure to file by these dates during
1998. All of these filing requirements were satisfied by the Company's
Directors and executive officers and ten percent holders. In making these
statements, the Company has relied on the written representations of its
incumbent Directors and executive officers and its ten percent holders and
copies of the reports that they have filed with the Commission.

The Advisor

   Although the Board of Directors is directly responsible for managing the
affairs of the Company and for setting the policies which guide it, the day-
to-day operations of the Company are performed by BCM, a contractual advisor
under the supervision of the Board of Directors. The duties of the advisor
include, among other things, investigating, evaluating and recommending real
estate and mortgage loan investment and sales opportunities as well as
financing and refinancing sources. The advisor also serves as consultant in
connection with the Company's business plan and investment policy decisions
made by the Board of Directors.

   BCM has served as advisor to the Company since February 6, 1989. BCM is a
company owned by a trust for the benefit of the children of Gene E. Phillips,
who served as Chairman of the Board and a Director of the Company until
November 16, 1992 and who also served as a director of BCM until December 22,
1989 and as Chief Executive Officer of BCM until September 1, 1992. Mr. Blaha,
President and a Director of the Company, serves as Executive Vice President--
Commercial Asset Management of BCM. Mr. Paulson, an Executive Vice President
of the Company, also serves as President of BCM, SAMI, NMC, CMET, IORI and
TCI. Gene E. Phillips serves as a representative of the trust for the benefit
of his children which owns BCM and, in such capacity, has substantial contact
with the management of BCM and input with respect to BCM's performance of
advisory services to the Company. As of March 5, 1999, BCM owned 5,738,472
shares of the Company's Common Stock, approximately 54.3% of the shares then
outstanding.

   The Advisory Agreement provides for the advisor to receive monthly base
compensation at the rate of 0.125% per month (1.5% on an annualized basis) of
Average Invested Assets. On October 23, 1991, based on the recommendation of
BCM, the Board of Directors approved a reduction in the advisor's base fee by
50% effective October 1, 1991. This reduction remains in effect until the
Company's earnings for the four preceding quarters equals or exceeds $.50 per
share.

   In addition to base compensation, BCM, or an affiliate of BCM, receives the
following forms of additional compensation:

     (1) an acquisition fee for locating, leasing or purchasing real estate
  for the Company in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of
  compensation customarily charged in similar arm's-length transactions or
  (ii) up to 6% of the costs of acquisition, inclusive of commissions, if
  any, paid to non-affiliated brokers;

     (2) a disposition fee for the sale of each equity investment in real
  estate in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of compensation
  customarily charged in similar arm's-length transactions or (ii) 3% of the
  sales price of each property, exclusive of fees, if any, paid to non-
  affiliated brokers;

     (3) a loan arrangement fee in an amount equal to 1% of the principal
  amount of any loan made to the Company arranged by BCM;

     (4) an incentive fee equal to 10% of net income for the year in excess
  of a 10% return on stockholders' equity, and 10% of the excess of net
  capital gains over net capital losses, if any, realized from sales of
  assets made under contracts entered into after April 15, 1989; and

                                      93
<PAGE>

     (5) a mortgage placement fee, on mortgage loans originated or purchased,
  equal to 50%, measured on a cumulative basis, of the total amount of
  mortgage origination and placement fees on mortgage loans advanced by the
  Company for the fiscal year.

   The Advisory Agreement further provides that BCM shall bear the cost of
certain expenses of its employees, excluding fees paid to the Company's
Directors; rent and other office expenses of both BCM and the Company (unless
the Company maintains office space separate from that of BCM); costs not
directly identifiable to the Company's assets, liabilities, operations,
business or financial affairs; and miscellaneous administrative expenses
relating to the performance by BCM of its duties under the Advisory Agreement.

   If and to the extent that the Company shall request BCM, or any director,
officer, partner or employee of BCM, to render services to the Company other
than those required to be rendered by BCM under the Advisory Agreement, such
additional services, if performed, will be compensated separately on terms
agreed upon between such party and the Company from time to time. The Company
has requested that BCM perform loan administration functions, and the Company
and BCM have entered into a separate agreement, as described below.

   The Advisory Agreement automatically renews from year to year unless
terminated in accordance with its terms. The Company's management believes
that the terms of the Advisory Agreement are at least as fair as could be
obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

   Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, BCM serves as the loan
administration/servicing agent for the Company, under an agreement dated as of
October 4, 1989, and terminable by either party upon thirty days' notice,
under which BCM services most of the Company's mortgage notes and receives as
compensation a monthly fee of 0.125% of the month-end outstanding principal
balances of the mortgage loans serviced.

   Situations may develop in which the interests of the Company are in
conflict with those of one or more Directors or officers in their individual
capacities or of BCM, or of their respective affiliates. In addition to
services performed for the Company, as described above, BCM actively provides
similar services as agent for, and advisor to, other real estate enterprises,
including persons and entities involved in real estate development and
financing, including CMET, IORI and TCI. BCM also performs certain
administrative services for NRLP and NOLP, the operating partnership of NRLP,
on behalf of NRLP's and NOLP's general partner, NMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company. The Advisory Agreement provides that BCM may also serve as
advisor to other entities.

   As advisor, BCM is a fiduciary of the Company's public investors. In
determining to which entity a particular investment opportunity will be
allocated, BCM will consider the respective investment objectives of each
entity and the appropriateness of a particular investment in light of each
such entity's existing mortgage note and real estate portfolios and business
plan. To the extent any particular investment opportunity is appropriate to
more than one such entity, such investment opportunity will be allocated to
the entity that has had funds available for investment for the longest period
of time, or, if appropriate, the investment may be shared among various
entities. See ITEM 13. "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS--
Certain Business Relationships."

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

   The Company has no employees, payroll or benefit plans and pays no
compensation to its executive officers. The Directors and executive officers
of the Company who are also officers or employees of the Advisor are
compensated by the Advisor. Such affiliated Directors and executive officers
of the Company perform a variety of services for the Advisor and the amount of
their compensation is determined solely by the Advisor. BCM does not allocate
the cash compensation of its officers among the various entities for which it
serves as advisor. See ITEM 10. "DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ADVISOR OF
THE REGISTRANT--The Advisor" for a more detailed discussion of compensation
payable to BCM by the Company.

   The only direct remuneration paid by the Company is to those Directors who
are not officers or employees of BCM or its affiliated companies. Until April

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Policies with Respect to Certain Activities

   The By-laws of the Company as amended, provide, in accordance with Georgia
law, that no contract or transaction between the Company and one or more of
its Directors or officers, or between the Company and any other corporation,
partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of its
Directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest,
shall be void or voidable solely for that reason, or solely because the
Director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board
of Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or
transaction, or solely because his or her votes are counted for such purpose,
if one or more of the following three conditions are met: (1) the material
facts as to his or her interest and as to the contract or transaction are
disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and Board
or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested Directors, even though the
disinterested Directors constitute less than a quorum; (2) the material facts
as to his or her interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed
or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or
transaction is specifically approved or ratified in good faith by vote of such
stockholders; or (3) the contract or transaction is fair to the Company as of
the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board of Directors, a
committee thereof, or the stockholders.

   The Company's policy is to have such contracts or transactions approved or
ratified by a majority of the disinterested Directors with full knowledge of
the character of such transactions, as being fair and reasonable to the
stockholders at the time of such approval or ratification under the
circumstances then prevailing. Such Directors also consider the fairness of
such transactions to the Company. Management believes that, to date, such
transactions have represented the best investments available at the time and
that they were at least as advantageous to the Company as other investments
that could have been obtained.

   The Company expects to enter into future transactions with entities the
officers, trustees, directors or stockholders of which are also officers,
Directors or stockholders of the Company, if such transactions would be
beneficial to the operations of the Company and consistent with the Company's
then-current investment objectives and policies, subject to approval by a
majority of disinterested Directors as discussed above.

   The Company does not prohibit its officers, Directors, stockholders or
related parties from engaging in business activities of the types conducted by
the Company.
