SAFE HARBOR  STATEMENT  UNDER THE PRIVATE  SECURITIES  LITIGATION  REFORM ACT OF
1995: This Annual Report, on Form 10-K, may contain  forward-looking  statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the  Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E
of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 which are not  historical  facts,  and
involve  risks and  uncertainties  that  could  cause  actual  results to differ
materially  from those  expected  and  projected.  Such risks and  uncertainties
include the following:  general economic  conditions and conditions  specific to
the real estate industry including its cyclical nature, and competitive factors,
changes in generally accepted accounting principles, changes in federal tax laws
regarding Real Estate Investment  Trusts,  and the risk factors listed from time
to  time  in  the  Company's   Securities  and  Exchange   Commission   filings.
Accordingly,  there can be no assurance  that the actual results will conform to
the forward-looking statements in the Annual Report.

                                     PART I

Item 1.  Business.

     Watermark  Investors  Realty  Trust  (herein  referred to as the "Trust" or
"Watermark"  or the  "Registrant")  was  originally  organized as Ryan  Mortgage
Investors  pursuant  to the  Texas  Real  Estate  Investment  Trust  Act under a
Declaration  of Trust dated  October 13,  1971.  On March 6, 1984,  its name was
changed  to  Arlington  Realty  Investors   pursuant  to  an  Amendment  to  the
Declaration  of Trust.  On  December 5, 1995,  the  Trust's  name was changed to
Watermark  Investors Realty Trust pursuant to an Amendment to the Declaration of
Trust.  The Trust has  elected to be treated as a Real Estate  Investment  Trust
("REIT") under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. The Trust has, in the opinion of the Trust's management,  qualified for
federal taxation as a REIT for each fiscal year subsequent to December 31, 1971.
Although not currently  active,  the Trust's primary  business and only industry
segment has been  investing in equity  interests in real estate and related real
estate activities.

     During March 1995,  the Trust formed a wholly owned  subsidiary,  Watermark
Texas 1, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and contributed its sole property to such
subsidiary.

Item 2.  Properties.

     At December 31, 2000, the Trust's only significant  asset was its ownership
interest  in its  subsidiary,  Watermark  Texas 1, Inc.,  which owns a parcel of
unimproved land consisting of approximately  4.5 acres located on Parker Road in
Houston,  Harris County,  Texas. The Trust has held the Parker Road property for
sale for several years,  has listed the property with various  brokers over that
time period, and inquired of the City of Houston as to the desire of the City to
acquire such property for a park site.  Management presently intends to sell the
Parker  Road  property  at the  first  available  opportunity.  The  anticipated
carrying costs associated with the Parker Road property are currently limited to
property taxes, insurance, and maintenance.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

     At December 31, 2000, and thereafter  through the date of this report,  the
Trust was not a party,  nor was any property or assets of the Trust subject,  to
any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

     None.

                                     PART II

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.

     The Trust's  shares of Beneficial  Interest (the  "Shares") are traded on a
sporadic  basis.  The Trust believes  there has been no established  independent
trading  market for the Shares  since the Shares  were  delisted  from NASDAQ in
1988.  A limited  number of Shares are believed to have been traded in privately
negotiated transactions.

     No regular  dividends on Shares were paid in 2000 or 1999.  As of March 30,
2001, 542,413 Shares were held by approximately 300 holders of record.

Item 6.  Selected Financial Data.

     The following table sets forth a summary of certain selected financial data
of the  Trust.  This  summary  should be read in  conjunction  with the Notes to
Financial Statements included at Item 8.

Item 7.   Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and
          Results of Operation.

Results of Operations

     Watermark has had no revenues for the three years ended  December 31, 2000.
Watermark's sole real property consists of the Parker Road property. In February
of 1995, Watermark sold a 4,429 square foot strip of the Parker Road property to
the City of  Houston,  Texas,  for  $3,765.  Watermark  did not have any  rental
operations in 1998, 1999 or 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Management  currently  plans for the  subsidiary  to sell the  Parker  Road
property at the first  available  opportunity.  The  anticipated  carrying costs
associated  with the Parker  Road  property  are  currently  limited to property
taxes,  insurance and  maintenance.  There are no other known material  demands,
commitments,  events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably
likely  to result in  Watermark's  liquidity  increasing  or  decreasing  in any
material  way.  However,  in order to meet  corporate  expenses and the carrying
costs of the Parker Road property,  Watermark will have to (i) raise  additional
funds (possibly by selling or leasing the Parker Road property) or (ii) generate
additional  funds  (possibly  by selling or leasing the Parker  Road  property).
There are no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Inflationary Factors

     In recent years,  inflation has neither increased Watermark's revenues from
operating  assets nor  beneficially  affected the current value of its remaining
real estate assets to any significant degree.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

     Management  does not believe  the  Company has any  exposure to market risk
other than the risks commonly associated with ownership of real property.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Watermark Investors Realty Trust

We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of  Watermark
Investors  Realty Trust and subsidiary as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
related  consolidated  statements of operations,  shareholders' equity (deficit)
and cash flows for the years  ended  December  31,  2000,  1999 and 1998.  These
consolidated   financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Trust's
management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these  consolidated
financial statements 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  consolidated  financial  statements are
free of material  misstatement.  An audit includes  examining,  on a test basis,
evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures in the  consolidated  financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  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
Watermark Investors Realty Trust and subsidiary as of December 31, 2000 and 1999
and the results of their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the years
ended December 31, 2000,  1999 and 1998, in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles.

The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Trust will continue as a going  concern.  As discussed in Note 9 to the
consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Trust  has  no  operating  assets  or
revenues, and is dependent upon the financial support of its shareholders. These
matters raise substantial doubt about the Trust's ability to continue as a going
concern.  Management's  plans in regard to these  matters are also  discussed in
Note 9. These consolidated  financial  statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from this uncertainty.

As more  fully  described  in Note  2,  Watermark  Investors  Realty  Trust  was
operating under a Plan of Complete  Liquidation  and Termination  until June 30,
1994.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  adjustments to reflect
assets at their net  realizable  value as determined by the Trust's  management.
The ultimate  value of the assets will be determined at the time of sale and may
differ significantly from the value as determined by the Trust's management.

Our  audits  were  made for the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on the basic
consolidated  financial  statements taken as a whole.  Schedule III is presented
for the purpose of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules
and is not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements.  This
schedule has been subjected to the auditing  procedures applied in the audits of
the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion,  fairly states,
in all material respects, the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

                 WATERMARK INVESTORS REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Operations

Watermark  Investors Realty Trust  (Watermark) was originally  organized as Ryan
Mortgage  Investors pursuant to the Texas Real Estate Investment Trust Act under
a Declaration  of Trust dated  October 13, 1971. On March 6, 1984,  its name was
changed  to  Arlington  Realty  Investors   pursuant  to  an  Amendment  to  the
Declaration  of Trust.  On  December 5, 1995,  the  Trust's  name was changed to
Watermark  Investors Realty Trust pursuant to an Amendment to the Declaration of
Trust.  The Trust has  elected to be treated as a Real Estate  Investment  Trust
("REIT") under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal  Revenue Code. The Trust
has, in the opinion of the Trust's management, qualified for federal taxation as
a REIT for each fiscal  year  subsequent  to December  31,  1971.  Although  not
currently  active,  the Trust's primary  business and only industry  segment has
been  investing  in equity  interests  in real  estate and  related  real estate
activities.  Under the Trust's Declaration of Trust and Bylaws, the Trustees, at
their option,  may terminate the Trust's status as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes.

During March 1995, the Trust formed a wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Watermark Texas
1, Inc.,  a Maryland  corporation,  and  contributed  its sole  property to such
subsidiary.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Watermark, and its
wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Watermark Texas 1, Inc. All significant  intercompany

Watermark  carries real estate at the lower of cost or estimated net  realizable
value.

Allowance for Possible Losses

Watermark  provides  for  possible  losses on real estate when such  amounts are
considered  necessary  after  making  periodic  reviews  of  the  estimated  net
realizable values of the real estate.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings  (loss) per share (EPS) are calculated in accordance  with Statement of
Financial  Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS 128) which was
adopted  in 1997 for all years  presented.  Basic EPS is  computed  by  dividing
income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares  outstanding  during the period.  Diluted EPS does not apply to Watermark
due to the absence of dilutive potential common shares. The adoption of SFAS 128
had no effect on previously reported EPS.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

Watermark  does not consider any of its assets to meet the  definition of a cash
equivalent.

                 WATERMARK INVESTORS REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARY
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires 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 financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Legal and Other Expenses

Legal and other expenses incurred for 2000, 1999 and 1998 include legal expenses
of approximately $4,500, $7,200, and $6,500, respectively.

Income Taxes

Watermark is qualified as a REIT.  To retain its REIT  qualification,  Watermark
must restrict its investments  principally to rental properties or notes secured
by real estate, and must not realize more than 30% of its gross income from gain
on the sale of real estate  assets held for less than four years.  In  addition,
Watermark  must pay out at least 95% of its taxable  income,  excluding  capital
gains,  as dividends,  provided that  Watermark  pays tax at corporate  rates on
capital gains not distributed.  No distributions  were required in 2000, 1999 or
1998, due to net operating losses.

NOTE 2 - PLAN OF LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

Watermark  operated under a Plan of Complete  Liquidation and  Termination  (the
"Plan" or the "Watermark  Plan") approved by the shareholders in 1985 until June
30, 1994.

NOTE 3 - REAL ESTATE

At December 31, 2000 and 1999,  Watermark's  only real estate asset was a parcel
of unimproved land consisting of approximately  4.5 acres located on Parker Road
in Houston,  Harris County,  Texas.  During 1992, a provision was made to reduce
the Parker Road land to its estimated net realizable value, which was determined
to be zero at  December  31,  1992.  During  March  1995,  the  Trust  formed  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary  and  contributed  the  Parker  Road  property  to such
subsidiary.  At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Trust's only  significant  asset
was its ownership interest in such subsidiary.

NOTE 5 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No Federal  income taxes have been  provided for  financial  statement  purposes
because, as a REIT with no operating income,  Watermark has no tax liability. At
December 31, 2000, net operating loss  carryforwards of  approximately  $568,218
were available for tax purposes which,  if not utilized,  will expire at various
dates through 2013. Any deferred tax asset that would be associated with the net
operating  loss  carryforward  has been  reduced  to $-0- due to  recurring  net
losses, no factors  indicating that the trend of net losses will reverse and the
fact that if the trend did reverse, the net income from a REIT is not taxable as
long as specific REIT requirements have been met.

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

HPI Capital,  LLC provides  administrative and accounting  services to the Trust
under  supervision of the Trust's officers (two of whom are also officers of HPI
Capital,  LLC). HPI Capital,  LLC has not been  compensated by the Trust for any
services rendered to the Trust.

NOTE 7 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair values of Watermark's  financial  instruments at December 31,

</TABLE>


The fair  value  amounts  for each of the  financial  instruments  listed  above
approximate carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments.

NOTE 8 - LIQUIDATING DISTRIBUTION

The recorded par value of the outstanding  common shares of beneficial  interest
has been reduced by $346,178,  which represents the amount of a 1993 liquidating
distribution in excess of additional paid-in capital.

NOTE 9 - GOING CONCERN

The Trust has no  operating  assets or  revenues.  Its  continuation  as a going
concern is dependent upon the Trust's ability to raise  additional  capital from
its shareholders or from third parties.  The  shareholders  anticipate that they
will continue to provide such financial support to the Trust. However, there can
be no assurances that the shareholders  will continue to provide such support or
that the Trust will be  successful  in  raising  additional  capital  from other
sources.  Further,  there can be no assurance,  assuming the Trust  successfully
obtains such support, that the Trust will achieve profitability or positive cash
flow.

are  required to report  their  ownership  of the Shares and any changes in that
ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Specific
due dates for these reports have been  established  under applicable law and the
Trust is required to report any failure to file by these dates during  1999.  To

requirements  were  satisfied  by its trustees  and  executive  officers and ten
