                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of American Realty Trust,
Inc. ("ART") and consolidated entities (the "Company") have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. Operating results for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. For further information, refer
to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 (the
"1998 Form 10-K").

  Certain balances for 1998 have been reclassified to conform to the 1999
presentation.

NOTE 2. SYNTEK ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P.

  ART 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 September 30, 1999, the Company owned
approximately 56% of the outstanding limited partner units of the Partnership.

  The Partnership, SAMLP and Gene E. Phillips were among the defendants in a
class action lawsuit arising from the formation of the Partnership (the
"Moorman Litigation"). 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
the Partnership oversight committee for the Partnership and the establishment
of specified annually increasing targets for five years relating to the price
of the Partnership'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. The Partnership did not meet the unit price
targets for the first and second anniversary dates.

  On July 15, 1998, the Partnership, SAMLP and the Partnership oversight
committee executed an Agreement for Cash Distribution and Election of
Successor General Partner (the "Cash Distribution Agreement") which provided
for the nomination of an entity affiliated with SAMLP to be the successor
general partner of the Partnership, for the distribution of $11.4 million to
the plaintiff class members and for the resolution of all related matters
under the Settlement Agreement. On October 23, 1998, the Court entered an
order granting final approval of the Cash Distribution Agreement. The Court
also entered orders requiring the Partnership 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
administrator. The distribution of cash was placed under the control of the
independent settlement administrator. On March 24, 1999, the initial
distribution of cash was made to the plaintiff class members.

  The proposal to elect NRLP Management Corp. ("NMC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ART, as the successor general partner was submitted to the
unitholders of the Partnership for a vote at a special meeting of unitholders
held on December 18, 1998. NMC was elected by a majority of the Partnership
unitholders. The

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

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, NMC assumed liability for SAMLP's
note for its original capital contribution to the Partnership. In addition,
NMC assumed liability for the note which requires the repayment of the $11.4
million paid by the Partnership under the Cash Distribution Agreement, plus
the $808,000 in court ordered attorneys' fees and $30,000 paid to Joseph B.
Moorman. This note requires repayment over a 10--year period, bears interest
at a variable rate, currently 7.3% per annum, and is guaranteed by ART. The
liability assumed under the Cash Distribution Agreement was expensed as a
litigation settlement. An additional $184,000 was expensed as a litigation
settlement in the first quarter of 1999.

  As of December 31, 1998, ART 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.

NOTE 3. NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE

  In January 1999, the Partnership collected in full a mortgage note
receivable with a principal balance of $350,000. In May 1999, the Partnership
collected in full a mortgage note receivable with a principal balance of $1.5
million. In both cases, the monies received were applied to paydown a note
payable partially secured by the mortgage notes receivable.

  In July 1999, the Partnership received $1.3 million in full payment of a
mortgage note receivable, including a $400,000 participation fee.

  In June 1999, a mortgage note receivable from an affiliate of JNC
Enterprises, Ltd. ("JNC") in the amount of $4.2 million matured. The note is
secured by (1) a first lien on approximately 1,000 acres of land in Huerfano
County, Colorado, known as Cuchara Valley Mountain Ski Resort; (2) an
assignment of a $2.0 million promissory note which is secured by approximately
2,623 acres of land in Taos County, New Mexico, known as Ski Rio Resort; and
(3) a pledge of all related partnership interests. In August 1999, the
Partnership received a paydown of $2.3 million on the note receivable, a
portion of the proceeds from the loan funding described in the following
paragraph. In September 1999, the Partnership received a paydown of $1.0
million in exchange for extending the note's maturity to October 1999.

  In August 1999, the Partnership funded a $2.6 million loan to JNC. The loan
is secured by second liens on a 3.55 acre parcel and a 1.2561 acre parcel of
land in Dallas, Texas, and the personal guaranty of JNC's principal partner.
The loan bears interest at 16.0% per annum and matures in February 2000. All
principal and interest are due at maturity.

  Also in August 1999, a mortgage note receivable in the amount of $942,000
matured. The loan was secured by 4.5 acres of land in Abilene, Texas,
collateral assignment of a $220,000 note receivable and the personal
guarantees of the principal owners of the borrower. The loan bore interest at
14.0% per annum, and all principal and interest were due at maturity. The
borrower did not make the required payments of principal and interest and the
loan is classified as nonperforming in the September 30, 1999 Consolidated
Balance Sheet. The Partnership is negotiating a modification/extension with
the borrower. If such negotiation is not successful, and the Partnership
forecloses, it expects to incur no loss as the fair value of the collateral
property, less estimated costs of sale, exceeds the carrying value of the
note.

  During 1998, the Partnership funded a $1.8 million loan to Warwick of
Summit, Inc. The loan is secured by a second lien on a shopping center in
Rhode Island, by 100% of the stock of the borrower and by the personal

                                       8

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

guarantee of the principal shareholder of the borrower. The loan bears
interest at 14.0% per annum and matures in December 1999. All principal and
interest are due at maturity. During 1999, the Partnership funded an
additional $314,000, increasing the loan balance to $2.1 million.

  During 1998 and through August 1999, the Partnership funded a total of $2.1
million of a $2.2 million loan commitment to Varner Road Partners, L.L.C. The
loan is secured by 129.77 acres of land in Riverside County, California and a
pledge of the stock of the borrower. The loan bears interest at 15.0% per
annum and matures in November 1999. All principal and interest are due at
maturity.

  During 1998 and 1999, the Partnership funded a total of $31.0 million of a
$52.5 million loan commitment to Centura Tower, Ltd. ("Centura"). The loan was
secured by 2.2 acres of land and an office building under construction in
Farmers Branch, Texas. The loan bore interest at 12.0% per annum, required
monthly payments based on net revenues after development of the land and
building and matured in January 2003. In August 1999, the Partnership
exercised a participation option included in the loan agreement. The
Partnership obtained a combined 80% general and limited partnership interest
in Centura in exchange for a $24.1 million capital contribution through
conversion of a portion of the Partnership's note receivable. The $8.3 million
balance of the note receivable continues as a loan to Centura from the
Partnership, bears interest at a rate of 18.0% per annum and is payable from
cash flows of the project. Centura's other partners will earn a 12% preferred
return on their respective capital accounts. In conjunction with the exercise
of the participation, Centura obtained a construction loan commitment in the
total amount of $30.0 million, which was finalized in October 1999. The loan
bears interest at a variable rate, currently 9.4725% per annum, and matures in
June 2001. Interest is payable monthly, with the first $2.0 million of
interest being drawn from the loan proceeds. The loan is guaranteed by NOLP,
NRLP, Garden Capital, L.P. ("GCLP") and Basic Capital Management, Inc.
("BCM"), the Company's advisor. In October 1999, Centura received its first
draw of $5.0 million under the loan agreements. GCLP is a partnership in which
NOLP is the sole limited partner with a 99.3% limited partner interest and a
wholly--owned subsidiary of ART is the general partner with .7% general
partner interest. The Partnership consolidates Centura for financial statement
purposes.

  In June 1998, the Partnership funded a $365,000 loan to RB Land & Cattle,
L.L.C. The loan is secured by a pledge of a note secured by 7,200 acres of
undeveloped land near Crowell, Texas, and the personal guarantee of the
borrower. The loan bore interest at 10.0% per annum and matured in December
1998. All principal and interest were due at maturity. The borrower did not
make the required payments and the loan was classified as nonperforming. The
Partnership has begun foreclosure proceedings and expects to incur no loss on
foreclosure as the fair value of the collateral property, less estimated costs
of sale, exceeds the carrying value of the note.

  In August 1998, the Partnership funded a $6.0 million loan to Centura
Holdings, L.L.C., a subsidiary of Centura Tower, Ltd. The loan is secured by
6.4 acres of land in Farmers Branch, Texas, bears interest at 15.0% per annum
and matures in August 2000. All principal and interest are due at maturity. In
February 1999, the Partnership funded an additional $37,500.

  Also in August 1998, the Partnership funded a $3.7 million loan to JNC. The
loan was secured by a contract to purchase 387 acres of land in Collin County,
Texas, and the personal guaranty of JNC's principal partner. The loan bore
interest at 12.0% per annum and matured the earlier of termination of the
purchase contract or February 1999. All principal and interest were due at
maturity. This loan was cross--collateralized with other JNC loans. In January
1999, ART purchased the contract from JNC and acquired the land. In connection
with the purchase, GCLP funded $6.0 million on a then $95.0 million loan
commitment to ART. A portion of the funds were used to payoff the $3.7 million
JNC note to the Partnership, including accrued but unpaid interest, paydown
$1.3 million on the JNC line of credit and paydown $820,000 on the JNC Frisco
Panther Partners, Ltd. loan, discussed below. See NOTE 7. "NOTES PAYABLE."

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

  Further in August 1998, the Partnership funded a $635,000 loan to La Quinta
Partners, L.L.C. The loan is secured by interest bearing accounts prior to
being used as escrow deposits toward the purchase of a total of 956 acres of
land in La Quinta, California. The loan bore interest at 10.0% per annum and
matured in November 1998. All principal and interest were due at maturity. In
November and December 1998, the Partnership received a total of $250,000 in
principal paydowns. In the first quarter of 1999, the Partnership received an
additional $25,000 paydown. In the second quarter of 1999, the loan was
modified, increasing the interest rate to 15.0% per annum and extending the
maturity date to November 1999. Accrued but unpaid interest was added to the
principal balances increasing it by $42,000 to $402,000.

  In 1997 and 1998, the Partnership funded a $3.8 million loan to Stratford &
Graham Developers, L.L.C. The loan is secured by 1,485 acres of unimproved
land in Riverside County, California. In the first nine months of 1999, the
Partnership funded an additional $316,000, increasing the loan balance to $4.1
million. The loan bore interest at 15.0% per annum and matured in June 1999.
All principal and interest were due at maturity. The borrower did not make the
required payments of principal and interest at the loan's maturity and the
loan was classified as nonperforming. The Partnership has begun foreclosure
proceedings. No loss is expected on foreclosure as the fair value of the
collateral property, less estimated costs of sale, exceeds the carrying value
of the note.

  In October 1998, the Partnership funded three loans to JNC or affiliated
entities. The first JNC loan of $1.0 million was secured by a second lien on
3.5 acres of land in Dallas, Texas, and the personal guaranty of JNC's
principal partner. The loan bore interest at 14.0% per annum and matured in
October 1999. All principal and interest were due at maturity. This loan was
paid in full in July 1999. The second loan, also $1.0 million, was secured by
a second lien on 2.9 acres of land in Dallas, Texas, and the personal guaranty
of JNC's principal partner. The loan bore interest at 14.0% per annum and
matured in October 1999. All principal and interest were due at maturity. This
loan was paid in full in March 1999. The third loan, in the amount of $2.1
million was to Frisco Panther Partners, Ltd. The loan is secured by a second
lien on 408.2 acres of land in Frisco, Texas, and the personal guaranty of
JNC's principal partner. The loan bears interest at 14.0% per annum and
matures in October 1999. All principal and interest are due at maturity. This
loan is cross--collateralized with other JNC loans funded by the Partnership.
In January 1999, the Partnership received a paydown of $820,000 on the Frisco
Panther Partners, Ltd. loan.

  In March 1998, the Partnership ceased receiving the required payments on a
$3.0 million note receivable secured by an office building in Dallas, Texas.
In October 1998, the Partnership began foreclosure proceedings. In March 1999,
the Partnership received payment in full, including accrued but unpaid
interest.

  In December 1998, the Partnership funded $3.3 million of a $5.0 million loan
commitment to JNC. The loan is secured by a second lien on 1,791 acres of land
in Denton County, Texas, and a second lien on 220 acres of land in Tarrant
County, Texas. The loan bears interest at 12.0% per annum and matures in
December 1999. All principal and interest are due at maturity. The loan is

City, Oklahoma; and (3) the personal guarantees of the Bordeaux partners. The

commitment to $2.1 million and the Partnership funded an additional $33,000.

but unpaid interest of $261,000 then to principal, reducing the loan balance

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

  Management continues to believe that the market value of each of the REITs
undervalues their assets and the Company may, therefore, continue to increase
its ownership in these entities in 1999.

  Set forth below is summarized results of operations of equity investees for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999:

</TABLE>

  The Company's share of equity investees' loss before gains on the sale of
real estate was $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, and
its share of equity investees' gains on sale of real estate was $7.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

  The Company's cash flow from the REITs is dependent on the ability of each
of them to make distributions. In the first nine months of 1999, distributions
totaling $935,000 were received from the REITs.

  In the first nine months of 1999, ART purchased a total of $366,000 of
equity securities of the REITs.

NOTE 6. MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES--TRADING PORTFOLIO

 Since 1994, the Company has been purchasing equity securities of entities
other than those of the REITs and NRLP to diversify and increase the liquidity
of its margin accounts. In the first nine months of 1999, the Company
purchased $2.2 million and sold $2.5 million of such securities. These equity
securities are considered a trading portfolio and are carried at market value.
At September 30, 1999, the Company recognized an unrealized decrease in the
market value of its trading portfolio securities of $1.8 million. Also in the
first nine months of 1999, the Company realized a net gain of $130,000 from
the sale of trading portfolio securities and received $4,000 in dividends.
Unrealized and realized gains and losses on trading portfolio securities are
included in other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

  Related Party. In 1998 and the first nine months of 1999, GCLP funded $94.7

Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART that owns 3,268,535 units of

at 12.0% per annum, requires monthly payments of interest only and matures in

the loan commitment to $125.0 million. In February 1999, ART made a $999,000

  In December 1998, as required by the Cash Distribution Agreement, NMC, the
general partner of the Partnership, assumed responsibility for repayment to
the Partnership of the $12.2 million paid by the Partnership to the Moorman
Litigation plaintiff class members and legal counsel. The loan bears interest
at the 90 day LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate) plus 2.0% per annum,
currently 7.3% per annum, adjusted every 90 days and requires annual payments
of accrued interest plus principal payments of $500,000 in each of the first
three years, $750,000 in each of the next three years, $1.0 million in each of
the next three years, with payment in full of the remaining balance in the
tenth year. The note is guaranteed by ART. The note matures upon the earlier
of the liquidation or dissolution of the Partnership, NMC ceasing to be
general partner or ten years from March 24, 1999, the date of the first cash
distribution to the Moorman Litigation plaintiff class members. The loan
balance is eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 8. MARGIN BORROWINGS

provide for borrowing of up to 50% of the market value of the Company's
marketable equity securities. The borrowings under such margin

                                      19
<PAGE>

                          AMERICAN REALTY TRUST, INC.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

arrangements are secured by equity securities of the REITs, NRLP and the
Company's trading portfolio and bear interest rates ranging from 7.0% to
11.0%. Margin borrowing totaled $36.5 million at September 30, 1999.

  In August 1996, the Company consolidated its then existing NRLP margin debt
held by various brokerage firms into a single loan. At December 1998, the loan
had a principal balance of $5.0 million. In February 1999, the loan was paid
off.

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES

  Financial statement income varies from taxable income principally due to the
accounting for income and losses of investees, gains and losses from asset
sales, depreciation on owned properties, amortization of discounts on notes
receivable and payable and the difference in the allowance for estimated
losses. The Company had no taxable income or provision for income taxes in the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, due to operating loss carryforwards.

NOTE 10. OPERATING SEGMENTS

  Significant differences among the accounting policies of the Company's
operating segments as compared to the Company's consolidated financial
statements principally involve the calculation and allocation of general and
administrative expenses. Management evaluates the performance of the operating
segments and allocates resources to each of them based on their operating
income and cash flow. A reconciliation of expenses that are not reflected in
the segments is $12.6 million and $5.9 million of general and administrative
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
There are no intersegment revenues and expenses and the Partnership conducts
all of its business within the United States.

  Presented below is the operating income of the reportable operating segments
for the nine months ended September 30, and segment assets at September 30.

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

Introduction

  ART was organized in 1961 to provide investors with a professionally
managed, diversified portfolio of equity real estate and mortgage loan
investments selected to provided opportunities for capital appreciation as
well as current income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  General. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1999 totaled $1.8
million, compared with $11.5 million at December 31, 1998. Although ART
anticipates that during the remainder of 1999 it will generate excess cash
flow from property operations, as discussed below, such excess cash is not
sufficient to discharge all of ART's debt obligations as they mature. ART will
therefore continue to rely on externally generated funds, including borrowings
against its investments in various real estate entities, the sale or
refinancing of properties and, to the extent available or necessary,
borrowings from its advisor and affiliates, which totaled $12.4 million at
September 30, 1999, to meet its debt service obligations, pay taxes, interest
and other non-property related expenses.

  At December 31, 1998, notes payable totaling $164.2 million had either
scheduled maturities or required principal reduction payments during 1999.
During the first nine months of 1999, ART either extended, refinanced, paid
down, paid off or received commitments from lenders to extend or refinance
$155.6 million of the debt scheduled to mature in 1999.

  Net cash used in operating activities increased to $30.9 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, from $11.8 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. Fluctuations in the components of cash flow used in
operating activities are discussed in the following paragraphs.

  Net cash from pizza operations (sales less cost of sales) in the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, increased to $3.4 million from $1.2 million in 1998.
The increase was due to the benefits of a more aggressive marketing and
advertising strategy.

  Net cash from property operations (rents collected less payments for
expenses applicable to rental income) increased to $27.1 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, from $13.0 million in 1998. The increase was
primarily attributable to the 36 apartments purchased by ART in 1998 and the
consolidation of the Partnership effective January 1, 1999. See NOTE 2.
"SYNTEK ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P."

  The Company expects an increase in cash flow from property operations during
the remainder of 1999. Such increase is expected to be derived from a full
year of operations of the 36 apartments acquired by ART during 1998 and the
consolidation of the Partnership effective January 1, 1999. ART is also
expecting substantial land sales and selected property sales to generate
additional cash.

  Interest collected increased to $3.7 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, from $381,000 in 1998. The increase was attributable to
loans funded by the Partnership in 1998 and 1999.

  Interest paid increased to $54.8 million in the nine months ended September
30, 1999, from $23.9 million in 1998. The increase was primarily due to debt
incurred or assumed relating to 16 land parcels and 36 apartments purchased by
ART in 1998, six land parcels and an office building in 1999 and the
consolidation of the Partnership's operations effective January 1, 1999.

  Advisory fee paid increased to $4.0 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, from $2.8 million in 1998. The increase was due to an
increase in ART's gross assets, the basis for such fee.

                                      23
<PAGE>

  General and administrative expenses paid increased to $12.7 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $5.9 million in 1998. The increase
was primarily attributable to the consolidation of the Partnership's
operations effective January 1, 1999.

  Distributions from equity investees decreased to $935,000 in the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, from $9.2 million in 1998. Included in 1998
distributions were special distributions totaling $6.1 million from TCI and
the Partnership that had been accrued at December 31, 1997.

  Other cash from operating activities increased to $5.5 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, from a use of $3.1 million in 1998. The
increase was due to a decrease in property prepaids, other miscellaneous
property receivables and property escrows.

Middleton, Ohio, for $4.6 million, receiving net cash of $4.4 million after

cash was used to payoff the $8.9 million seller financing secured by the land
parcel.

  Also in March 1999, the Las Colinas I term loan lender provided additional
financing on ART's Stagliano, Dalho, Bonneau and Valley Ranch III land parcels

mortgage debt secured by such land parcels.

  In April 1999, ART refinanced the matured mortgage debt secured by its
Yorktown land in the amount of $4.8 million, receiving net cash of $580,000

Partnership received net cash of $3.9 million after the payment of various
closing costs. In September 1999, the mortgage debt was refinanced in the
amount of $3.1 million. The refinancing proceeds and cash of $1.1 million was
used to payoff the $4.0 million of mortgage debt and the payment of various
closing costs.

  Also in May 1999, the Las Colinas I term loan lender provided additional
financing secured by ART's Plano Parkway land parcel in the amount of $2.0
million. The proceeds from this financing along with an additional $831,000 in
cash were used to payoff the remaining $2.7 million in mortgage debt secured
by such land parcel and the payment of various closing costs.

  In June 1999, the Partnership obtained mortgage financing secured by the
unencumbered 100 unit Stonebridge Apartments in Florissant, Missouri, in the
amount of $3.0 million. The Partnership received net cash of $2.9 million
after the payment of various closing costs.

  In July 1999, the Partnership obtained mortgage financing secured by the
unencumbered 76 unit Bridgestone Apartments in Friendswood, Texas, in the
amount of $2.1 million. The Partnership received net cash of $2.0 million
after the payment of various closing costs.

  In August 1999, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage debt secured by the
102 unit Whispering Pines Apartments in Canoga Park, California, in the amount
of $3.5 million. The Partnership received net cash of $1.1 million after
paying off $2.2 million in mortgage debt, the funding of required escrows and
the payments of various closing costs.

  Also in August 1999, ART received an additional $2.7 million from its Las
Colinas I lender on a 56.0 acre tract of its Katrina land parcel. ART received
net cash of $2.6 million after the payment of various closing costs.

  Further in August 1999, ART refinanced the mortgage debt secured by its
Mason/Goodrich land in the amount of $4.1 million. ART received net cash of
$710,000 after paying off $1.8 million in mortgage debt secured by such land
parcel, paying down by $1.0 million its mortgage debt secured by its Frisco
Bridges land parcel and the payment of various closing costs.

  In September 1999, the Partnership obtained mortgage financing secured by
the unencumbered 209 unit Blackhawk Apartments in Indianapolis, Indiana, in
the amount of $4.1 million. The Partnership received net cash of $4.0 million
after the payment of various closing costs.

  In October 1999, ART obtained a construction loan of $7.2 million on Two
Hickory Centre, a 96,126 sq. ft. office building under construction in Farmers
Branch, Texas. ART received net cash of $1.9 million after the payment of
various closing costs.

  At March 31, 1999, the mortgage debt secured by ART's McKinney I, II, III,
IV, V and Dowdy land in the amount of $15.2 million matured. ART and the
lender reached an agreement to extend the mortgage's maturity to September
1999, in exchange for, among other things, ART's payment of an extension fee.
In October 1999, ART refinanced its McKinney Corners land for a total of $8.6
million. The Las Colinas I term loan lender provided $4.1 million and a second
lender provided $4.5 million. The net financing proceeds and $6.6 million in
cash were used to payoff the existing $15.2 million mortgage debt secured by
such land parcels and the payment of various closing costs.

  Equity Investments. During the fourth quarter of 1988, ART began purchasing
shares of REITs that have the same advisor as the Company. It is anticipated
that additional equity securities of the REITs will be acquired in the future
through open--market and negotiated transactions to the extent that ART'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 it attempted to dispose of such
securities in a short period of time.


                                      29
<PAGE>

  The Company's cash flow from its REIT investments is dependent on the
ability of each of the entities to make distributions. The Company received
distributions totaling $935,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
from the REITs.

  The Company has margin arrangements with various brokerage firms which
provide for borrowing up to 50% of the market value of the Company's
marketable equity securities. The borrowings under such margin arrangements
are secured by equity securities of the REITs, NRLP and the Company's trading
portfolio and bear interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 11.0%. Margin borrowing
totaled $36.5 million at September 30, 1999.

  ART expects that it will be necessary for it to sell $50.1 million, $16.8
million of its land holdings during each of the next two years to satisfy the
debt on such land as it matures. If ART is unable to sell at least the minimum
amount of land to satisfy the debt obligations on such land as it matures, or,
if it was not able to extend such debt, would either sell other of its assets
to pay such debt or return the property to the lender.

  Management reviews the carrying values of the Company's properties and
mortgage note receivables 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
such 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.

Commitments and Contingencies

  In 1996, ART was admitted to the Valley Ranch, L.P. partnership as general
partner and Class B Limited Partner. The existing general and limited partners
converted their general and limited partner interest into 8,000,000 Class A
units. In March 1999, ART purchased the 100,000 Class A units for $100,000.
ART subsequently reached agreement with the Class A unitholders to acquire the
remaining 7,900,000 Class A units for $1.00 per unit. In April 1999, 900,000
units were purchased and 1.0 million units were purchased in July 1999 and 1.0
million units were purchased in October 1999 , with 1.0 million units to be
purchased in January 2000 and 2.0 million units in May 2001 and May 2002.

Results of Operations

  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company reported
net income of $10.1 million and $1.9 million, compared to net loss of $3.6
million and net income of $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1998. The primary factors contributing to the Company's results
are discussed in the following paragraphs.

  Pizza parlor sales and cost of sales were $7.8 million and $6.7 million,
respectively for the three months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $7.3
million and $6.3 million in 1998. Sales and cost of sales were $22.8 million
and $19.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to
$21.3 million and $18.3 million in 1998. The increased sales were primarily
attributable to the effects of a more aggressive marketing and advertising
strategy, offset by an increase in cost of sales attributable to record high
cheese prices in January 1999. Cheese prices returned to more historic levels
in February 1999, but began escalating again late in the second quarter of
1999 and reached record highs again in September 1999. In October 1999, cheese
prices began to decline and have continued to do so.

  Rents increased to $40.2 million and $122.1 million in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999, from $15.5 million and $45.1 million in 1998.
Rents from commercial properties increased to $22.1 million for nine months
ended September 30, 1999, from $12.0 million in 1998. Rents from hotels of
$25.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1999, approximated the
$24.5 million in 1998. Rents from apartments increased to $74.7 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $7.9 million in 1998. The increase
in commercial property rents was primarily attributable to the consolidation
of the Partnership's operations effective January 1, 1999, and the increase in
apartment rent was due to the 36 apartments acquired by ART in 1998 and the
consolidation of the Partnership's operations effective January 1, 1999.
Rental income is expected to increase significantly in 1999 as a result of the
consolidation of the Partnership's operations. See NOTE 2. "SYNTEK ASSET
MANAGEMENT, L.P."

  Property operations expense increased to $27.4 million and $80.8 million in
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $12.0 million and
$34.2 million in 1998. Property operations expense for commercial properties
increased to $11.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1999, from
$7.1 million in 1998. Hotel property operations expense of $17.7 million in
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 approximated the $18.1 million in
1998. Land property operations expense increased to $6.5 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 from $4.1 million in 1998. Apartments property
operations expense increased to $44.7 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, from $4.8 million in 1998. The increase in commercial
property operations expense was primarily due to the consolidation of the
Partnerships operations effective January 1, 1999. The increase for land was
primarily due to the 16 land parcels acquired by ART in 1998 and six land
parcels in 1999. The increase for apartments property operations expense was
due to the 36 apartments acquired by ART in 1998 and the consolidation of the
Partnership's operations effective January 1, 1999. Property operations
expense is expected to increase significantly in the remainder of 1999 as a
result of the consolidation of the Partnership's operations.

  Interest income from mortgage notes receivable increased to $1.3 million and
$5.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 from
$15,000 and $169,000 in 1998. The increase is attributable to loans funded by
the Partnership in 1998. Interest income is expected to increase significantly
in the remainder of 1999 as a result of the consolidation of the Partnership's
operations.

  Other income was income of $300,000 in the three months ended September 30,
1999 and a loss of $740,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999
compared to income of $486,000 and a loss of $454,000 in 1998. An unrealized
increase in market value of trading portfolio securities of $33,000 and a
decrease of $1.8 million was recognized in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999, compared to income of $1.1 million and a loss of $2.6
million in 1998. See NOTE 6. "MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES--TRADING
PORTFOLIO."

  Interest expense increased to $23.0 million and $68.5 million in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $12.4 million and $35.7 million
in 1998. Of the increases, $7.3 million and $21.4 million was attributable to
the consolidation of the Partnership's operations effective January 1, 1999,
$3.3 million and $4.8 million was due to 16 parcels of land acquired by ART in
1998 and, $3.4 million was due to the six land parcels acquired by ART in
1999, and for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, $3.9 million was due
to the 36 apartments acquired by ART in 1998. In the remainder of 1999
interest expense is expected to continue to rise due to the 36 apartments
acquired in 1998 and the consolidation of the Partnership's operations.

  Depreciation expense increased to $4.5 million and $13.5 million in the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $1.5 million and $4.7
million in 1998. The increases were attributable to the consolidation of the
Partnership's operations effective January 1, 1999, and the acquisition by ART
of 36 apartments in 1998. See NOTE 2. "SYNTEK ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P."

  Advisory fees increased to $1.5 million and $4.0 million in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $1.1 million and $2.8 million in
1998. The increases were attributable to an increase in ART's gross assets,
the basis for such fee. Such fee is expected to increase as ART's gross assets
increase.

                                      31

  General and administrative expenses increased to $3.8 million and $12.7
million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $1.7
million and $5.9 million in 1998. The increases were primarily attributable to
the consolidation of the Partnership's operations effective January 1, 1999.

  In the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, a provision for loss
of $2.1 million was recognized. Such loss relates to the June 1999
relinquishment by ART of its general and Class B limited partner interests in
a controlled partnership that owned two apartments in Indianapolis, Indiana.
There was no provision for loss in 1998. See NOTE 4. "REAL ESTATE." In the
third quarter of 1998 a provision for loss of $3.0 million was recognized to
writedown ART's Valley Ranch land to its estimated realizable value less
estimated costs of sale. Such writedown was necessitated by an increase in the
acreage designated as flood plain.

  Minority interest increased to $23.1 million and $38.6 million in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $658,000 and $1.6 million in
1998. The increase was attributable to the consolidation of the Partnership.
See NOTE 2. "SYNTEK ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P."

  Equity in income of investees decreased to $1.9 million and $5.3 million in
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $6.1 million and $27.4
million in 1998. The decreases in equity income were attributable to the
consolidation of the Partnership. See NOTE 2. "SYNTEK ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P."

  In the nine months ended September 30, 1999, gains on sale of real estate of
$86.1 million were recognized. In January 1999, a gain of $2.2 million was
recognized on the sale of the Olde Towne Apartments. In February 1999, gains

acres of Plano Parkway land.

  For the three months ended September 30, 1998, the Company recognized gains
from the sale of: (1) a 2.5 acre tract of the Las Colinas I land of $869,000;

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,

                                      32
<PAGE>

certain environmental laws impose liability for release of asbestos-containing
materials into the air and third parties may seek recovery from the Company
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, correspondingly, the
ultimate gains to be realized by the Company from property sales.

Year 2000

  BCM 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 year 2000
compliant computer hardware and property management software for ART's
commercial properties. With regard to the Company's apartments, Carmel, Ltd.
has informed management that its subcontractors are also using 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 computer
software being modified, upgraded or replaced 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 are insignificant and do not require significant
expenditures to make the affected systems 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 5. OTHER INFORMATION

 Proposed Transaction with American Realty Investors, Inc.

  On November 3, 1999, ART and the Partnership jointly announced the agreement
of their respective Boards to combine, in a tax free exchange, the two
entities into a new holding company to be named American Realty Investors,
Inc. ("ARI"). Under the proposal, ARI will distribute shares of its common
stock to ART stockholders and NRLP unitholders. NRLP unitholders, except for
ART, would receive one share of ARI common stock for each unit of NRLP held.
ART stockholders would receive .91 shares of ARI common stock for each share
of ART held. ART preferred stock would convert into one share of preferred
stock of ARI, having substantially the same rights as ART's preferred stock.
The share exchange and merger are subject to a vote of
stockholders/unitholders of both entities. Approval requires the vote of a
majority of the unitholders holding a majority of the Partnership's
outstanding units, and the vote of a majority of the stockholders holding a
majority of ART's outstanding shares of common and preferred stock. As of
November 3, 1999, ART owned approximately 56.2% of the outstanding units of
the Partnership and BCM owned approximately 30.0% of the outstanding units of
the Partnership and 56.9% of the outstanding shares of ART's common stock. A
date for the special meeting of the stockholders/unitholders to vote on the
merger proposal has not been set.
