The words “estimate”, “plan”, “intend”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this Report and in the documents incorporated herein by reference. The Company disclaims any intention or obligations to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Although we believe that our expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our goals will be achieved. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from estimates or projections contained in any forward-looking statements are described under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors”.

PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

General

Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (the “Company”), a Nevada Corporation, is a fully integrated externally managed real estate company. We operate high quality multifamily and commercial properties throughout the Southern United States. We also invest in mortgage notes receivable and in land that is either held for appreciation or development. As used herein, the terms “TCI”, “the Company”, “We”, “Our”, or “Us” refer to the Company.

Corporate Structure

Substantially all of our assets are held by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern Properties Capital Ltd. (“SPC”), which was formed to raise funds by issuing non-convertible bonds that were listed and traded on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE").

On November 19, 2018, we formed the Victory Abode Apartments, LLC (“VAA”) joint venture with the Macquarie Group (“Macquarie”). In connection with the formation of VAA, we sold a 50% ownership interest in 51 multifamily properties. We account for our investment in VAA under the equity method. In 2022, VAA sold 45 of its properties to a third party and distributed the remaining seven properties to us in a liquidating distribution.

We own approximately 82.3% of the common stock of Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (“IOR”), a Nevada Corporation, whose common stock is listed and traded on the NYSE American under the symbol “IOR”. Accordingly, we include IOR’s financial results in our consolidated financial statements. IOR’s primary business is investing in mortgage loans and real estate.

Controlling Stockholder

American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARL”), a Nevada Corporation, whose common stock is listed and traded on the NYSE under the symbol “ARL”, and its affiliates own more than 80% of our common stock. Accordingly, our financial results are included in the consolidated financial statements of ARL’s Form 10-K and tax filings.

As described in Part III, Item 13. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”, our officers and directors also serve as officers and directors of ARL. ARL has business objectives similar to ours. Our officers and directors owe fiduciary duties to both ARL and us under applicable law. In determining whether a particular investment opportunity will be allocated to ARL or us, management considers the respective investment objectives of each company and the appropriateness of a particular investment in light of each company’s existing real estate and mortgage notes receivable portfolio. To the extent that any particular investment opportunity is appropriate to more than one of the entities, the investment opportunity may 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 between the two entities.

3

Management

Our business is managed by Pillar Income Asset Management, Inc. (“Pillar”) in accordance with an Advisory Agreement and a Cash Management Agreement that are reviewed annually by our Board of Directors. Pillar is wholly-owned by Realty Advisors, Inc. (“RAI”), which is the controlling stockholder of ARL.

Pillar’s duties include, but are not limited to, locating, evaluating and recommending real estate and real estate-related investment opportunities. Pillar also arranges our debt and equity financing with third party lenders and investors. In addition, Pillar serves as the contractual "Advisor" and "Cash Manager" to ARL and IOR. Pillar is compensated by us under an Advisory Agreement and a Cash Management Agreement that are more fully described in Part III, Item 10. “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance – The Advisor”. We have no employees and rely upon the employees of Pillar to render services to us in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement.

In addition, as described in Part III, Item 13. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”, we compete with related parties of Pillar having similar investment objectives related to the acquisition, development, disposition, leasing and financing of real estate and real estate-related investments. In resolving any potential conflicts of interest which may arise. Pillar has informed us that it intends to exercise its best judgment as to what is fair and reasonable under the circumstances in accordance with applicable law.

Portfolio Composition

At December 31, 2023, our property portfolio consisted of:

•Commercial properties, consisting of four office buildings with an aggregate of approximately 1,056,793 square feet;

•Fourteen multifamily properties, comprising in 2,328 units; and

•Approximately 1,843 acres of developed and undeveloped land.

Development Activities

We have agreements to develop two land parcels or "PODs" of our land holdings in Windmill Farms. The agreements provide for the development of 125 acres of raw land into approximately 470 lands lots to used for single family homes for a total of $24.3 million. We estimate that we will complete the development of these PODs over a two-year period starting in the third quarter of 2024. During 2023, we spent $5.0 million on the project, which included $0.5 million on lot development and $4.5 million on reimbursable infrastructure investments.

On March 15, 2023, we entered into a development agreement with Pillar to build a 240 unit multifamily property in Lake Wales, Florida ("Lake Wales") that is expected to be completed in 2025 for a total cost of approximately $55.3 million. The cost of construction will be funded in part by a $33.0 million construction loan (See "Financing Activities"). The development agreement provides for a $1.6 million fee that will be paid to Pillar over the construction period. In connection with the closing of the loan, we purchased the land and certain entitlement costs from a related party at an appraised value of $6.1 million. As of December 31, 2023, we have incurred a total of $16.9 million in development costs.

On November 6, 2023, we entered into a development agreement with Pillar to build a 216 unit multifamily property in McKinney, Texas ("Merano") that is expected to be completed in 2025 for a total cost of approximately $51.9 million. The cost of construction will be funded in part by a $25.4 million construction loan (See "Financing Activities"). The development agreement provides for a $1.6 million fee that will be paid to Pillar over the construction period. As of December 31, 2023, we have incurred a total of $7.2 million in development costs.

On December 15, 2023, we entered into a development agreement with Pillar to build a 216 unit multifamily property in Temple, Texas ("Bandera Ridge") that is expected to be completed in 2025 for a total cost of approximately $49.6 million. The cost of construction will be funded in part by a $23.5 million construction loan (See "Financing Activities"). The development agreement provides for a $1.6 million fee that will be paid to Pillar over the construction period. In connection with the closing of the loan, we purchased the land from a related party at an appraised value of $2.7 million. As of December 31, 2023, we have incurred a total of $3.1 million in development costs.

Business Plan and Investment Policy

Our business strategy is to maximize long-term value for our stockholders by the acquisition, development and ownership of income-producing multifamily properties in the secondary markets of the Southern United States. We generally hold our investments in real estate for the long term. We seek to maximize the current income and the value of our real estate by maintaining high occupancy levels while charging competitive rents and controlling costs. In the past we have opportunistically acquired commercial properties for income and appreciation. In addition, we also opportunistically acquire land for future development. From time to time and when we believe it appropriate to do so, we sell land and income-producing properties. We also invest in mortgage receivables.

Our income producing real estate is managed by external management companies. Our multifamily properties and one of our commercial properties are managed by third-party companies and three of our commercial properties are managed by Regis Realty Prime, LLC (“Regis"), collectively the "management companies". The management companies conduct all of the administrative functions associated with our property operations (including billing, collections, and response to tenant inquiries). Regis receives property management fees, construction management fees and leasing commissions in accordance with the terms of its property-level management agreement and is also entitled to receive real estate brokerage commissions in accordance with the terms of a non-exclusive brokerage agreement. Refer to Part III, Item 10. “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance – Property Management and Real Estate Brokerage”.

We also invest in notes receivables that are collateralized by investments in land and/or multifamily properties. These investments have included notes receivables from Unified Housing Foundation, Inc. ("UHF"). Due to our ongoing relationship and significant investment in the performance of the collateral secured under the notes receivable, we consider UHF to be a related party.

We finance our acquisitions through operating cash flow, proceeds from the sale of land and income-producing properties, and debt, which is financing primarily in the form of property-specific, first-lien mortgage loans from commercial banks and institutional lenders. Most of the mortgage notes payable on our multifamily properties are insured with the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). HUD back mortgage notes payable generally provides for lower interest rates and longer term than conventional debt. However, HUD insured mortgage notes payable are subject to extensive regulations over the origination and transfers of mortgage notes payable and restrictions on the amount and timing of distribution of cash flows from the underlying real estate. When we sell properties, we may carry a portion of the sales price, generally in the form of a

5

short-term interest bearing seller-financed note receivable, secured by the property being sold. We may also from time to time enter into partnerships or joint ventures with various investors to acquire land or income-producing properties, or to sell interests in some of our properties.

Historically, we have previously increased our portfolio of multifamily properties by partnering with third-party developers (“Developers”) to construct multifamily properties on our behalf. In these instances, we worked with the Developer on the location, design, construction budget and initial lease plan for a potential development project (“Development Project”). The construction cost included a development fee paid to the Developer. To ensure that the Development Project was constructed on plan, on time and on budget, we entered into a convertible loan arrangement with the Developer, whereby we advanced the out-of-pocket capital to the developer at nominal rate of interest with an option to convert the loan into a 100% ownership interest in the entity that holds the Development Project for a price equal to development cost.

We have also used Pillar as the Developer for our land development projects, including Windmill Farms and have elected to use Pillar as the Developer for our current portfolio multifamily development projects. We believe direct involvement through Pillar enables us to achieve higher construction quality, greater control over construction schedules and cost savings.

Competition

The real estate business is highly competitive and we compete with numerous companies engaged in real estate activities (including certain entities described in Part III, Item 13. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”), some of which have greater financial resources than us. We believe that success against such competition is dependent upon the geographic location of a property, the performance of property-level managers in areas such as leasing and marketing, collection of rents and control of operating expenses, the amount of new construction in the area and the maintenance and appearance of the property. Additional competitive factors include ease of access to a property, the adequacy of related facilities such as parking and other amenities, and sensitivity to market conditions in determining rent levels. With respect to multifamily properties, competition is also based upon the design and mix of the units and the ability to provide a community atmosphere for the residents. We believe that beyond general economic circumstances and trends, the degree to which properties are renovated or new properties are developed in the competing submarket are also competitive factors. Refer to Part I, Item1A. “Risk Factors”.

To the extent that we seek to sell any properties, the sales prices for the properties may be affected by competition from other real estate owners and financial institutions also attempting to sell properties in areas where our properties are located, as well as aggressive buyers attempting to dominate or penetrate a particular market.

Government Regulations

Our properties are subject to various covenants, laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to common areas, fire and safety requirements, various environmental laws, HUD, the Americans with Disabilities Act and rent control laws.

Segments

We operate two business segments: the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily properties, and the acquisition, development, ownership and management of commercial properties; which are primarily office properties. The services for our commercial segment include primarily rental of office space and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. The services for our multifamily segment include primarily rental of apartments and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Report for more information regarding our segments.

Human Capital

We have no employees. Employees of Pillar render services to us in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves various risks. All investors should carefully consider the following risk factors in conjunction with the other information in this report before trading our securities.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE INDUSTRY

Our operating performance is subject to risks associated with the real estate industry.

Real estate investments are subject to various risks, fluctuations and cycles in value and demand, many of which are beyond our control. These events include, but are not limited to:

•adverse changes in international, national or local economic conditions;

•inability to rent space on favorable terms, including possible market pressures to offer tenants rent abatements, tenant

improvements, early termination rights or below-market renewal options;

•adverse changes in financial conditions of actual or potential investors, buyers, sellers or tenants;

•inability to collect rent from tenants;

•competition from other real estate investors, including other real estate operating companies, publicly-traded REITs and institutional investment funds;

•reduced tenant demand for office space and residential units from matters such as: (i) trends in space utilization, (ii) changes in the relative popularity of our properties, (iii) the type of space we lease, (iv) purchasing versus leasing, (v) increasing crime or homelessness in our submarkets or (vi) economic recessions;

•increases in the supply of office space and residential units;

•fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of credit, which could adversely affect our ability to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all;

•increases in operating costs, including: (i) insurance costs, (ii) labor costs, (iii) energy prices, (iv) property taxes, and (v) costs of compliance with laws, regulations and governmental policies;

•utility disruptions;

•changes in, and changes in enforcement of, laws, regulations and governmental policies, including, without limitation, health, safety, environmental, zoning and tax laws, governmental fiscal policies and the ADA;

•difficulty in operating properties effectively;

•acquiring undesirable properties; and

•inability to dispose of properties at appropriate times or at favorable prices.

We may not be able to compete successfully with other entities that operate in our industry.

We experience a great deal of competition in attracting tenants for the properties and in locating land to develop and properties to acquire.

In our effort to lease properties, we compete for tenants with a broad spectrum of other landlords in each of the markets. These competitors include, among others, publicly-held REITs, privately-held entities, individual property owners and tenants who wish to sublease their space. Some of these competitors may be able to offer prospective tenants more attractive financial terms than we are able to offer.

7

Real estate investments are illiquid, and we may not be able to sell properties if and when it is appropriate to do so.

Real estate generally cannot be sold quickly. We may not be able to dispose of properties promptly in response to economic or other conditions. In addition, provisions of the Internal Revenue Code may limit our ability to sell properties (without incurring significant tax costs) in some situations when it may be otherwise economically advantageous to do so, thereby adversely affecting returns to stockholders and adversely impacting our ability to meet our obligations.

Our business may be impacted as a result of any health emergency like the pandemic impact the coronavirus.

Considerable uncertainty still surrounds the recent Covid-19 pandemic, including its conclusion, the availability of and effectiveness of vaccines, the potential short-term and long term effects, including but not limited to shifts in consumer housing demand based on geography, affordability, housing type (e.g., multi-family vs. single family) and unit type (e.g., office studio vs. multi-bedroom), mainly resulting from the paradigm shift of work culture, the decentralization of corporate headquarters and the success of “work from home” models. Moreover, local, state and national measures taken to limit the spread of the recent pandemic have already resulted in significant economic impacts and mortality rates, the duration and scope of which cannot currently be predicted. The extent to which our financial condition or operating results will be effected in the future by any future pandemic will largely depend on future demand and developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted.

We face risks associated with and have been the target of security breaches through cyber attacks, cyber intrusions or otherwise, as well as other significant disruptions of our information technology (IT) networks and related systems.

The phenomenon of cyber-attacks in general, and cyber-attacks against databases in particular, have become a risk to all companies. We are exposed to cyber-attacks, which may, depending on their success and strength, damage the privacy of the information stored in the databases as well as cause equipment failures, loss, discovery, use, corruption, destruction or appropriation of information, content and valuable technical information. In recent years, cyber-attacks against companies have increased in frequency, scope and potential damage. Malicious damage (such as the introduction of viruses and cyber-attacks) or a large-scale malfunction may adversely affect the group's business and results, including damage to the group's reputation, and the group's financial condition.

FACTORS AFFECTING OUR ASSETS

Adverse events concerning our existing tenants or negative market conditions affecting our existing tenants could have an adverse impact on our ability to attract new tenants, release space, collect rent or renew leases, and thus could adversely affect cash flow from operations and inhibit growth.

Our cash flow from operations depends in part on the ability to lease space to tenants on economically favorable terms. We could be adversely affected by various facts and events over which we have limited or no control, such as:

•lack of demand for space in areas where the properties are located;

•inability to retain existing tenants and attract new tenants;

•oversupply of or reduced demand for space and changes in market rental rates;

•defaults by tenants or failure to pay rent on a timely basis;

•the need to periodically renovate and repair marketable space;

•physical damage to properties;

•economic or physical decline of the areas where properties are located; and

•potential risk of functional obsolescence of properties over time.

If tenants do not renew their leases as they expire, we may not be able to rent the space. Furthermore, leases that are renewed, and some new leases for space that is re-let, may have terms that are less economically favorable than expiring lease terms, or may require us to incur significant costs, such as renovations, tenant improvements or lease transaction costs. Any of these events could adversely affect cash flow from operations and our ability to make distributions to shareholders and service indebtedness. A significant portion of the costs of owning property, such as real estate taxes, insurance, and debt service payments, are not necessarily reduced when circumstances cause a decrease in rental income from the properties.

8

Our reliance on third-party management companies s to operate certain of our properties may harm our business.

We rely on third party property managers to manage the daily operations of our properties. These management companies are directly responsible for the day-to-day operation of our properties with limited supervision by us, and they often have potentially significant decision-making authority with respect to those properties. Thus, the success of our business may depend in large part on the ability of our third-party property managers to manage the day-to-day operations, and any adversity experienced by our property managers could adversely impact the operation and profitability of our properties.

These third parties may fail to manage our properties effectively or in accordance with their agreements with us, may be negligent in their performance and may engage in criminal or fraudulent activity. If any of these events occur, we could incur losses or face liabilities from the loss or injury to our property or to persons at our properties. In addition, disputes may arise between us and these third-party managers and operators, and we may incur significant expenses to resolve those disputes or terminate the relevant agreement with these third parties and locate and engage competent and cost-effective service providers to operate and manage the relevant properties, which in turn could adversely affect us, including damage to our relationships with such franchisers or we may be in breach of our management agreement.

We may experience increased operating costs which could adversely affect our financial results and the value of our properties.

Our properties are subject to increases in operating expenses such as insurance, cleaning, electricity, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, administrative costs and other costs associated with security, landscaping, repairs, and maintenance of the properties. While some current tenants are obligated by their leases to reimburse us for a portion of these costs, there is no assurance that these tenants will make such payments or agree to pay these costs upon renewal or new tenants will agree to pay these costs. If operating expenses increase in our markets, we may not be able to increase rents or reimbursements in all of these markets to offset the increased expenses, without at the same time decreasing occupancy rates. If this occurs, our ability to make distributions to shareholders and service indebtedness could be adversely affected.

Our ability to achieve growth in operating income depends in part on its ability to develop additional properties or acquire and redevelop or renovate existing properties.

We intend to continue to develop properties where warranted by market conditions. We have a number of ongoing development and land projects being readied for commencement. Additionally, general construction and development activities include the following risks:

•construction and leasing of a property may not be completed on schedule, which could result in increased expenses and construction costs, and would result in reduced profitability for that property;

•construction costs may exceed original estimates due to increases in interest rates and increased cost of materials, labor or other costs, possibly making the property less profitable because of inability to increase rents to compensate for the increase in construction costs;

•some developments may fail to achieve expectations, possibly making them less profitable;

•we may be unable to obtain, or face delays in obtaining, required zoning, land-use, building, occupancy, and other governmental permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs and could require us to abandon our activities entirely with respect to a project;

•we may abandon development opportunities after the initial exploration, which may result in failure to recover costs already incurred. If we determine to alter or discontinue its development efforts, future costs of the investment may be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized and we may determine the investment is impaired resulting in a loss;

•we may expend funds on and devote management’s time to projects which will not be completed; and

•occupancy rates and rents at newly-completed properties may fluctuate depending on various factors including market and economic conditions, and may result in lower than projected rental rates and reduced income from operations.

9

We face risks associated with property acquisitions.

We have acquired individual properties and various portfolios of properties in the past and intend to continue to do so. Acquisition activities are subject to the following risks:

•when we are able to locate a desired property, competition from other real estate investors may significantly increase the seller’s offering price;

•acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;

•the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be higher than original estimates;

•acquired properties may be located in new markets where we face risks associated with an incomplete knowledge or understanding of the local market, a limited number of established business relationships in the area and a relative unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures; and

•we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into existing operations, and results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities. However, if an unknown liability was later asserted against the acquired properties, we might be required to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect cash flow.

Many of our properties are concentrated in our primary markets and we may suffer economic harm as a result of adverse conditions in those markets.

Our properties are located principally in specific geographic areas in the Southern United States. Our overall performance is largely dependent on economic conditions in this region.

We are leveraged and may not be able to meet our debt service obligations.

We had total indebtedness at December 31, 2023 of approximately $179.1 million. Substantially all of our multifamily real estate has been pledged to secure debt. These borrowings increase the risk of loss because they represent a prior claim on assets and most require fixed payments regardless of profitability. Our leveraged position makes us vulnerable to declines in the general economy and may limit our ability to pursue other business opportunities in the future.

A significant portion of our debt is insured with HUD

As of December 31, 2023, we had $128.9 million in mortgage notes payable insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"), which represented 72% of our total indebtedness. HUD insured loans allow Lenders to extend loans at a relatively low interest rate for terms of up to 40 years for properties under new construction, or up to 35 years for acquisition or refinancing of existing properties. In return for lower interest rates and favorable terms, HUD loans involve extensive regulatory compliance.

While we hope to continue utilizing HUD insured loans in the future, should we not be able to access such loans, or should HUD cease to permit us to access or assume HUD insured debt, we would likely incur significantly increased interest costs and shorter term conventional loans (assuming we are able to obtain conventional loans) and possibly need to utilize funds from disposal of investments or other properties to finance such activities.

An increase in interest rates would increase interest costs on variable rate debt and could adversely impact the ability to refinance existing debt.

We currently have, and may incur more, indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, if interest rates increase, so will the interest costs, which could adversely affect cash flow and the ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and the ability to make distributions to shareholders. Further, rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance existing debt when it matures.

10

Unbudgeted capital expenditures or cost overruns could adversely affect business operations and cash flow.

If capital expenditures for ongoing or planned development projects or renovations exceed expectations, the additional cost of these expenditures could have an adverse effect on business operations and cash flow. In addition, we might not have access to funds on a timely basis to pay for the unexpected expenditures.

Properties may need to be sold from time to time for cash flow purposes.

Because of the lack of liquidity of real estate investments generally, our ability to respond to changing circumstances may be limited. Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly. In the event that we must sell assets to generate cash flow, we cannot predict whether there will be a market for those assets in the time period desired, or whether we will be able to sell the assets at a price that will allow us to fully recoup its investment. We may not be able to realize the full potential value of the assets and may incur costs related to the early extinguishment of the debt secured by such assets.

We engage in development and redevelopment activities with respect to certain of our properties. To the extent that we do so, we are subject to certain risks, including the following:

•We may not complete a development or redevelopment project on schedule or within budgeted amounts (as a result of risks beyond our control, such as weather, labor conditions, permitting issues, material shortages and price increases);

•We may be unable to lease the developed or redeveloped properties at budgeted rental rates or lease up the property within budgeted time frames;

•We may devote time and expend funds on development or redevelopment of properties that we may not complete;

•We may encounter delays or refusals in obtaining all necessary zoning, land use, and other required entitlements, and building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations, and our costs to comply with the conditions imposed by such permits and authorizations could increase;

•We may encounter delays, refusals and unforeseen cost increases resulting from third-party litigation or objections; and

•We may fail to obtain the financial results expected from properties we develop or redevelop;

ITEM 1B.    UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 1C.    CYBERSECURITY

We rely on the information technology and systems maintained by Pillar and their employees to identify and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats. Pillar takes various actions, and incurs significant costs, to maintain and manage the operation and security of information technology and systems, including the data maintained in those systems. We believe that Pillar’s Director of Information Technology and his associates endeavor to evaluate and address cyber risks in alignment with our business objectives, operational needs and industry-accepted standards, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology and CIS Critical Security Controls frameworks. Since we rely on accounting, financial, operational, management and other information systems, including the Internet and third-party hosted services to conduct our operations, store personal and sensitive data, process financial information and results of operations for internal reporting purposes and comply with financial reporting, legal and tax requirements, we have processes and procedures in place to monitor the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity risks. These include, but are not limited to (i) maintaining a defined and practiced incident response plan; (ii) employing appropriate incident prevention and detection safeguards; (iii) maintaining a defined disaster recovery policy and employing disaster recovery software, where appropriate; (iv) educating, training and testing our user community on information security practices and identification of potential cybersecurity risks and threats; and (v) reviewing and evaluating new developments in the cyber threat landscape. Recognizing the complexity and evolving nature of cybersecurity risk, we engage with a range of external support in evaluating, monitoring and testing our cybersecurity management systems and related cyber risks.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors oversees cybersecurity matters, including the material risks related thereto, and regularly receives updates from Pillar’s Director of Information Technology regarding the development and advancement of its cybersecurity strategy, as well as the related risks. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, a detailed incident response plan is in place for contacting authorities and informing key stakeholders, including management. We do not believe we are reasonably likely to be materially affected from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previous incidents.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part II, Item 8 of this Report. Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 were affected by the acquisitions and disposition, refinancing activity, development activity as discussed below.

Management's Overview

We are an externally advised and managed real estate investment company that owns a diverse portfolio of income-producing properties and land held for development throughout the Southern United States. Our portfolio of income-producing properties generally includes multifamily residential properties, office buildings and other commercial properties. Our investment strategy includes acquiring existing income-producing properties as well as developing new properties on land already owned or acquired for a specific development project.

Our operations are managed by Pillar in accordance with an Advisory Agreement and a Cash Management Agreement. Pillar’s duties include, but are not limited to, locating, evaluating and recommending real estate and real estate-related investment opportunities. Pillar also arranges our debt and equity financing with third party lenders and investors. We rely upon the employees of Pillar to render services to us in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement. Pillar is considered to be a related party due to its common ownership with ARL, who is our controlling stockholder.

Development Activities

We have agreements to develop two PODs from our land holdings in Windmill Farms. The agreements provide for the development of 125 acres of raw land into approximately 470 lands lots to used for single family homes for a total of $24.3 million. We estimate that we will complete the development of these PODs over a two-year period starting the third quarter of 2024. During 2023, we spent $5.0 million on the project, which included $0.5 million on lot development and $4.5 million on reimbursable infrastructure investments.

On March 15, 2023, we entered into a development agreement with Pillar to build a 240 unit multifamily property in Lake Wales, Florida ("Lake Wales") that is expected to be completed in 2025 for a total cost of approximately $55.3 million. The cost of construction will be funded in part by a $33.0 million construction loan (See "Financing Activities"). The development agreement provides for a $1.6 million fee that will be paid to Pillar over the construction period. In connection with the closing of the loan, we purchased the land and certain entitlement costs from a related party at an appraised value of $6.1 million. As of December 31, 2023, we have incurred a total of $16.9 million in development costs.

Other Developments

On September 16, 2022, VAA sold 45 properties (“VAA Sale Portfolio”) for $1.8 billion, resulting in a gain on sale of $738.4 million to the joint venture. In connection with the sale, we received an initial distribution of $182.8 million from VAA.

On November 1, 2022, we received an additional distribution from VAA, which included the full operational control of the remaining seven properties (collectively referred to herein as the “VAA Holdback Portfolio”) and a cash payment of $204.0 million. The VAA Holdback Portfolio consists of Blue Lake Villas, a 186 unit multifamily property in Waxahachie, Texas; Blue Lake Villas Phase II, a 70 unit multifamily property in Waxahachie, Texas; Northside on Travis, a 200 unit multifamily property in Sherman, Texas; Parc at Denham Springs, a 224 unit multifamily property in Denham Spring, Louisiana; Residences at Holland Lake, a 208 unit multifamily property in Weatherford, Texas; Villas of Park West I, a 148 unit multifamily property in Pueblo, Colorado; and Villas of Park West II, a 112 unit multifamily property in Pueblo, Colorado.

On March 23, 2023, we received $18.0 million from VAA, which represented the remaining distribution of the proceeds from the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio.

We used our share of the proceeds from the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio to invest in short-term investments and real estate, pay down our debt and for general corporate purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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.

Some of these estimates and assumptions include judgments on revenue recognition, estimates for common area maintenance and real estate tax accruals, provisions for uncollectible accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, the allocation of purchase price between tangible and intangible assets, capitalization of costs and fair value measurements. Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our notes to the consolidated financial statements. However, the following policies are deemed to be critical.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We apply the guidance in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” to the valuation of real estate assets. These provisions define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date that is other than a forced or liquidation sale, establish a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used in developing fair value estimates and require disclosure of fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3 measurements), such as the reporting entity’s own data.

The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date and includes three levels defined as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical and unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

18

Related Parties

We apply ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”, to evaluate business relationships. Related parties are persons or entities who have one or more of the following characteristics, which include entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, trust for the benefit of persons including principal owners of the entities and members of their immediate families, management personnel of the entity and members of their immediate families and other parties with which the entity may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the decision making of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing our own separate interests, or affiliates of the entity.

Environmental Matters

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, we 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.

We are not aware of any environmental liability relating to the above matters that would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations.

Inflation

The effects of inflation on our operations are not quantifiable. Revenues from property operations tend to fluctuate proportionately with inflationary increases and decreases in housing costs. Fluctuations in the rate of inflation also affect sales values of properties and the ultimate gain to be realized from property sales. To the extent that inflation affects interest rates, our earnings from short-term investments, the cost of new financings and the cost of variable interest rate debt will be affected.

Results of Operations

Many of the variations in the results of operations, discussed below, occurred because of the transactions affecting our properties described above, including those related to the Redevelopment Property, the Acquisition Properties and the Disposition Properties (each as defined below).

For purposes of the discussion below, we define "Same Properties" as all of our properties with the exception of those properties that have been recently constructed or leased-up (“Redevelopment Property”), properties that have recently been acquired ("Acquisition Properties") and properties that have been disposed ("Disposition Properties"). A developed property is considered leased-up, when it achieves occupancy of 80% or more. We move a property in and out of Same Properties based on whether the property is substantially leased-up and in operation for the entirety of both periods of the comparison.

For the comparison of the year ended December 31, 2023 to the year ended December 31, 2022, the Redevelopment Property is Landing on Bayou Cane. The Acquisition Properties are Blue Lake Villas, Blue Lake Villas Phase II, Northside on Travis, Parc at Denham Springs, Residences at Holland Lake, Villas of Park West I and Villas of Park West II. The Disposition Properties are Fruitland Park, Sugar Mill Phase III and Toulon.

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2023 to the year ended December 31, 2022:

Our $461.8 million decrease in net income in 2023 is primarily attributed to the following:

•The $6.6 million increase in profit from the multifamily properties is due to increases of $5.6 million from the Acquisition Properties and $2.3 million from the Redevelopment Property offset in part by decreases of $1.0 million from the Same Properties and $0.3 million from the Disposition Properties. The increase in profit from the Redevelopment property is due to the completion of the restoration and lease-up of Landing on Bayou Cane in 2023. The decrease in profit from the Same Properties is primarily due to an increase in insurance cost in 2023.

•The $3.2 million decrease in profit from the commercial properties is primarily due to a decline in occupancy and an increase in insurance cost.

•The $13.8 million increase in interest income, net is due to a $8.0 million decrease in interest expense and a $5.8 million increase in interest income.

The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the pay down of our bonds payable in 2023 (See "Financing Activities" in Management's Overview).

The increase in interest income is primarily due to a $9.9 million increase in interest on short term investments offset in part by a $4.1 million decrease in interest income from notes receivable and receivable from related party. The increase in short-term investments is primarily due to the $388.0 million in cash distributions received from VAA in 2022 (See "Other Developments" in Management's Overview). The decrease in interest income from notes receivable is primarily due to the forgiveness of $3.6 million in interest income in connection with the UHF loan modification in 2023.

•The decrease in gain on foreign currency transactions is due to the change in the U.S. Dollar and the New Israeli Shekel conversion rate in connection with the bonds that were listed on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (See "Financing Activities").

20

•(Loss) gain on sale, remeasurement or write down of assets changed $91.1 million from a gain of $89.2 million in 2022 to a loss of $1.9 million in 2023. The decease in gain is primarily due to the $73.2 million gain on remeasurement of the VAA Holdback Portfolio in 2022 (See "Other Developments" in Management's Overview) and property dispositions in 2022 (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview).

•The decrease in income from joint venture is primarily due to our share of the gain on the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio in 2022 (See "Other Developments" in Management's Overview).

•The $101.3 million change in other income (expense) is primarily due to the income tax expense incurred in connection with the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio in 2022 (See "Other Developments" in Management's Overview).

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2022 to the year ended December 31, 2021:

See Item 7 of Part II in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 23, 2023 for a discussion of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of cash have been, and will continue to be, property operations; proceeds from land and income-producing property sales; collection of mortgage notes receivable; collections of receivables from related companies; refinancing of existing mortgage notes payable; and additional borrowings, including mortgage notes and bonds payable, and lines of credit.

Our principal liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses; meet debt service and principal repayment obligations including balloon payments on maturing debt; fund capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing costs; fund development costs not covered under construction loans; and fund possible property acquisitions.

We anticipate that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2023, along with cash that will be generated in 2024 from notes and interest receivables, will be sufficient to meet all of our cash requirements. We may also selectively sell land and income-producing assets, refinance or extend real estate debt and seek additional borrowings secured by real estate to meet our liquidity requirements. Although history cannot predict the future, historically, we have been successful at refinancing and extending a portion of our current maturity obligations.

Cash Flow Summary

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows in Part II, Item 8. “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below (dollars in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2023		2022		Variance
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(31,073)	$	(45,394)	$	14,321
Net cash provided by investing activities	$	26,813	$	307,357	$	(280,544)
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(139,020)	$	(112,377)	$	(26,643)

The decrease in cash used in operating activities is primarily due to an increase in interest income and an increase rents provided by the Acquisition Properties (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview). The increase in interest income is primarily due to an increase in short-term investments and cash equivalents and an increase in interest rates.

The decrease in cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to a $362.9 million decrease in distribution from joint venture and a $44.4 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of real estate (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview), offset in part by a $131.7 million net decrease in investment in short-term investments. The decrease in distribution from joint venture is due to the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio in 2022 (See "Other Developments" in Management's Overview) and the decrease in investment in short-term investments is due to the investment of those distributions in 2022.

21

The $26.6 million increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to a $87.4 million increase in repayments of bond payable offset in part by a $60.8 million decrease in repayments of mortgage and other notes payable. The increase in repayments of bonds payable is primarily due to the payoff of our bonds in 2023 (See "Financing Activities" in Management's Overview) and the decrease in the repayments of the mortgage and other notes payable is primarily due to the payoff of the mortgage notes on Toulon and Sugar Mill Phase III in 2022 in connection with the sales of the underlying properties.

Funds From Operations ("FFO")

We use FFO in addition to net income to report our operating and financial results and considers FFO and FFO-diluted as supplemental measures for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, impairment write-downs of real estate and write-downs of investments in an affiliate where the write-downs have been driven by a decrease in the value of real estate held by the affiliate and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We also present FFO excluding the impact of the effects of foreign currency translation.

FFO and FFO on a diluted basis are useful to investors in comparing operating and financial results between periods. This is especially true since FFO excludes real estate depreciation and amortization, as we believe real estate values fluctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. We believe that such a presentation also provides investors with a meaningful measure of our operating results in comparison to the operating results of other real estate companies. In addition, we believe that FFO excluding gain (loss) from foreign currency transactions provide useful supplemental information regarding our performance as they show a more meaningful and consistent comparison of our operating performance and allows investors to more easily compare our results.

We believe that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as defined by GAAP, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. We also caution that FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate companies.

We compensate for the limitations of FFO by providing investors with financial statements prepared according to GAAP, along with this detailed discussion of FFO and a reconciliation of net income to FFO and FFO-diluted. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.

The following reconciles our net income attributable to FFO and FFO-basic and diluted, excluding the loss from foreign currency transactions and the loss on extinguishment of debt for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (dollars and shares in thousands):

	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2023		2022		2021
Net income attributable to the Company	$	5,937	$	468,262	$	9,398
Depreciation and amortization on consolidated assets	13,646		9,686		11,870
Loss (gain) on sale, remeasurement or write down of assets	1,891		(89,196)		(23,352)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of and

Stockholders of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc.

Dallas, Texas

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Realty Investors, Inc. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis of Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Impairment of investment in real estate

Description of the Matter

The Company’s net investment in real estate totaled $501.6 million as of December 31, 2023. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company periodically assesses whether there has been any impairment in the carrying value of its properties and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized on real estate assets held for investment when indicators of impairment are present and the future undiscounted cash flows for a real estate asset are less than its carrying amount, at which time the real estate asset is written down to its estimated fair value.

24

Auditing the Company's impairment assessment for real estate assets was complex because of the subjective auditor judgment necessary in evaluating management’s identification of indicators of potential impairment. Our evaluation of management’s identification of indicators of impairment included our related assessment of such indicators, either individually or in combination, in determining whether a triggering event has occurred that requires the Company to evaluate the recoverability of the real estate asset.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

We obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the Company’s real estate asset impairment assessment process. Our testing of the Company’s impairment assessment included, among other procedures, evaluating significant judgments applied in determining whether indicators of impairment existed for the Company’s real estate assets. Our procedures included obtaining evidence to corroborate such judgments and searching for evidence contrary to such judgments, including searching for significant tenant write-offs or upcoming lease expirations with little prospects for replacement tenants. We also searched for any significant declines in operating results of a real estate asset that could be due to a triggering event or an indicator of potential impairment.

Collectability of Notes Receivable

Description of the Matter

At December 31, 2023, the Company had notes receivable in the amount of $133.8 million. The Company performs an assessment as to whether or not substantially all of the amounts due under these notes receivable is deemed probable of collection. Subsequently, for notes where the Company concludes that it is not probable that it will collect substantially all payments due under the note, the Company creates an allowance for any amounts not probable of collection.

Auditing the Company's collectability assessment is complex due to the judgment involved in the Company’s determination of the collectability of these notes. The determination involves consideration of the terms of the note, whether or not the note is currently performing, and any security for the note.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

We obtained an understanding of the Company's controls over notes receivable and their collectability assessment. Our testing included among other things, confirming selected notes receivable, determining if the notes were performing according to their terms and testing the Company’s evaluation of the underlying security interest if necessary.

Revenue Recognition (straight-line) for commercial tenants

Description of the Matter

During 2023, the Company recognized office rental revenues and tenant recoveries of $14.4 million and deferred rent receivables of $3.5 million at December 31, 2023. As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue from commercial properties on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.

Auditing the Company's straight-line calculations is complex due to the free rent periods, lease amendments and escalation clauses contained in many of the leases.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

We obtained an understanding of the Company's controls over office rental revenues and tenant recoveries, including controls over management’s calculation of the straight-line calculation and deferred rent receivable. To test the straight-line rent revenue and deferred rent receivable, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, evaluating the data and assumptions used in determining the calculation and agreeing amounts in the calculation to copies of lease agreements. In addition, we tested the completeness and accuracy of the data that was used in management’s straight-line rent and deferred rent receivable calculation.

25

Emphasis of Liquidity

As described in Note 19, management intends to sell income-producing assets, refinance real estate and obtain additional borrowings primarily secured by real estate to meet the Company’s liquidity requirements.

Supplemental Information

The supplemental information contained in Schedules III and IV has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company’s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Security and Exchange Commission’s rules. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

1. Organization

As used herein, the terms “the Company”, “We”, “Our”, or “Us” refer to Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc., a Nevada corporation, which was formed in 1984. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “TCI”. Approximately 78% of our common stock is owned by American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARL”), whose common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “ARL”, and 7% is owned by the controlling stockholder of ARL.

Our primary business is the acquisition, development and ownership of income-producing residential and commercial real estate properties. In addition, we opportunistically acquire land for future development in in-fill or high-growth suburban markets. From time to time, and when we believe it appropriate to do so, we will also sell land and income-producing properties. We generate revenues by leasing apartment units to residents, and leasing office, industrial and retail space to various for-profit businesses as well as certain local, state and federal agencies. We also generate income from the sales of income-producing properties and land.

Substantially all of our assets are held by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern Properties Capital Ltd. (“SPC”), which was formed to allow us to raise funds by issuing non-convertible bonds that were listed and traded on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE").

At December 31, 2023, our property portfolio consisted of:

●     Four office buildings ("commercial properties") comprising in aggregate of approximately 1,056,793 square feet;

●    Fourteen multifamily properties comprising in 2,328 units; and

●    Approximately 1,843 acres of developed and undeveloped land.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America.

We consolidate entities in which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or have a majority of the voting interest of the entity. We have determined that we are a primary beneficiary of the VIE when we have (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impacts its economic performance, and (ii) the obligations to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider qualitative and quantitative factors, including ownership interest, management representation, ability to control decision and other contractual rights. We account for entities in which we have less than a controlling financial interest or entities where we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, we include our share of the net earnings or losses of these entities in our results of operations.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operation. An adjustment has been made to reclassify $2,947 and $1,621 interest expense to related parties for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, from interest expense to interest income on our consolidated statements of operations.

Real estate, depreciation, and impairment

Real estate assets are stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, if deemed impaired. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated remaining useful lives. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the properties (buildings and improvements—10 to 40 years; furniture, fixtures and equipment—5 to 10 years).

We assess whether an indicator of impairment in the value of our real estate exists by considering expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors include projected rental revenue, operating costs and capital expenditures as well as estimated holding periods and capitalization rates. If an impairment indicator exists, the determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, excluding interest expense. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is determined by comparing the fair value, as determined by a discounted cash flows analysis, with the carrying value of the related assets. We generally hold and operate our income producing real estate long-term, which decreases the likelihood of their carrying values not being recoverable. Real estate classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Cost capitalization

The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. We also capitalize development costs including costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property as well as interest, property taxes, insurance, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized costs also include direct and certain indirect costs clearly associated with the project. Indirect costs include real estate taxes, insurance and certain shared administrative costs. In assessing the amounts of direct and indirect costs to be capitalized, allocations are made to projects based on estimates of the actual amount of time spent on each activity. Indirect costs not clearly associated with specific projects are expensed as period costs.

We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We cease capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

Deferred leasing costs

We capitalize leasing costs on our commercial properties, which include commissions paid to outside brokers, legal costs incurred to negotiate and document a lease agreement. We allocate these costs to individual tenant leases and amortize them over the related lease term.

Fair value measurement

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date that is other than in a forced or liquidation sale. In determining fair value we apply the following hierarchy:

Level 1 —Unadjusted quoted prices for identical and unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 —Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 —Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Related parties

Related parties are persons or entities who have one or more of the following characteristics, which include entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, trust for the benefit of persons including principal owners of the entities and members of their immediate families, management personnel of the entity and members of their immediate families and other parties with which the entity may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the decision making of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests, or affiliates of the entity.

Recognition of revenue

Rental revenue includes fixed minimum rents, reimbursement of operating costs and other leasing income. Rental revenue for residential property, which is generally leased for twelve months or less, is recorded when due from residents, whereas rental revenue for commercial properties, which is generally leased for more than twelve months, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.

Reimbursements of operating costs, as allowed under most of our commercial tenant leases, consist of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs, and are recognized as revenue in the period in which the recoverable expenses are incurred. We record these reimbursements on a “gross” basis, since we generally are the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers; we have discretion in selecting the supplier and have the credit risk with respect to paying the supplier.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for all past due rents and operating expense reimbursements considered to be uncollectible.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, for which cost approximates fair value. Restricted cash includes cash balances held in escrow by financial institutions under the terms of certain secured notes payable and certain unsecured bonds payable.

Concentration of credit risk

We maintain our cash balances at commercial banks and through investment companies, the deposits that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we maintained balances in excess of the insured amount.

Income taxes

We are a “C” corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we are included in the May Realty Holdings, Inc. ("MRHI") consolidated group for tax purposes. We have a tax sharing agreement that specifies the manner in which the group will share the consolidated tax liability and also how certain tax attributes are to be treated among members of the group.

Comprehensive income

Net income and comprehensive income are the same for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Use of estimates

In the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, it is 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 ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

5. Operating Segments

Our segments are based on the internal reporting that we review for operational decision-making purposes. We operate in two reportable segments: (i) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily properties ("Residential Segment") and (ii) the acquisition, ownership and management of commercial real estate properties ("Commercial Segment"). The services for our segments include rental of property and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. Asset information by segment is not reported because we do not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources. Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments. General and administrative expenses, advisory fees, interest income and interest expense are not included in segment profit as our internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level.

The following table presents our profit by reportable segment:

10. Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

On November 16, 2018, our SPC subsidiary formed the Victory Abode Apartments, LLC ("VAA"), a joint venture with the Macquarie Group (“Macquarie”). VAA was formed as a result of a sale of the 50% ownership interest in a portfolio multifamily properties owned by us in exchange for a 50% voting interest in VAA and a note payable (“Mezzanine Loan”).

In connection with the formation of VAA, ten of the initial properties were subject to an earn-out provision ("Earn Out") that provided for a remeasurement of value after a two-year period following the completion of construction. Upon the formation of VAA, we recorded an initial liability ("Earn Out Obligation") of $10,000 for the advance on the Earn Out that we received from Macquarie. Upon remeasurement, the Earn Out Obligation was determined to be approximately $39,600, and as a result, we recorded a charge of $29,600 in 2021 (See Note 7 – Real Estate Activity). In accordance with the joint venture operating agreement, the Earn Out Obligation was paid from our share of subsequent distributions from VAA.

On March 30, 2021, we sold a 50% ownership interest in Overlook at Allensville Phase II, a 144 unit multifamily property in Sevierville, Tennessee to Macquarie for $2,551, resulting in a gain on sale of $1,417. Concurrent with the sale, we each contributed our 50% ownership interests in the property into VAA.

On June 17, 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell 45 properties (“VAA Sale Portfolio”) owned by VAA and one property owned by our SPC subsidiary.

On September 16, 2022, VAA completed the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio for $1,810,700, resulting in a gain on sale of $738,444 to the joint venture. In connection with sale, we received an initial distribution of $182,848 from VAA, which included the payment of the remaining balance of the Earn Out Obligation.

On November 1, 2022, we received an additional distribution from VAA, which included the full operational control of the seven remaining properties ("VAA Holdback Portfolio") (See Note 11 - Acquisitions) and a cash payment of $204,036.

On March 23, 2023, we received $17,976 from VAA, which represented the remaining distribution of the proceeds from the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio.

We used our share of the proceeds from the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio to invest in short-term investments, investment in real estate, pay down our debt and for general corporate purposes.

11. Acquisitions

On November 1, 2022, we acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in the VAA Holdback Portfolio that we did not previously own through a distribution from VAA (See Note 10 – Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures). Prior to the acquisition, we had accounted for the VAA Holdback Portfolio under the equity method of accounting as part of our investment in VAA. As a result of this transaction, we obtained 100% ownership of the VAA Holdback Portfolio. The acquisition was completed in order to obtain 100% ownership and control over this well positioned portfolio of multifamily residential properties in the Southern United States.

The VAA Holdback Portfolio consisted of the following properties:

Property	Location	Units
Blue Lake Villas	Waxahachie, TX	186
Blue Lake Villas Phase II	Waxahachie, TX	70
Northside on Travis	Sherman, TX	200
Parc at Denham Springs	Denham Spring, LA	224
Residences at Holland Lake	Weatherford, TX	208
Villas of Park West I	Pueblo, CO	148
Villas of Park West II	Pueblo, CO	112
		1,148

The following is a summary of the allocation of the fair value of the VAA Holdback Portfolio:

Real estate	$	219,500
Other assets	4,843
Total assets acquired	224,343
Mortgage notes payable	70,330
Accounts payable and other liabilities	1,624
Accrued interest	190
Total liabilities assumed	72,144
Fair value of acquired net assets (100% ownership)	$	152,199

We have determined that the purchase price represented the fair value of the additional ownership interest in the VAA Holdback Portfolio that was acquired.

Fair value of existing ownership interest (at 50% ownership)	$	219,500
Carrying value of investment	146,313
Gain on remeasurement of assets	$	73,187

From November 1, 2022, we have included the VAA Holdback Portfolio in our consolidated financial statements.

(1)    On August 28, 2023, we paid off the loan.

(2)    On November 1, 2022, we agreed to assume the mortgage note payable from our joint venture in connection with the acquisition of the underlying property (See Note 11 - Acquisitions) and obtained final lender approval of the assumption in 2023.

(3)    On November 1, 2022, we agreed to assume the mortgage note payable from our joint venture in connection with the acquisition of the underlying property (See Note 11 - Acquisitions) and obtained final lender approval of the assumption in 2024.

(4)    On February 28, 2023, we extended the maturity of the loan to February 28, 2024 at an interest rate of 7.75%. On February 8, 2024, we extended the maturity to February 28, 2026 at an interest rate of 7.50%.

As of December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all of our loan covenants except for the minimum debt service coverage ratio (“DSCR”) for the loan on 770 South Post Oak. As a result, the lender requires us to lock the surplus cash flow of the property into a designated deposit account controlled by them, until we are in compliance with the DSCR for a period of two consecutive quarters.

On March 15, 2023, we entered into a $33,000 construction loan to finance the development of Lake Wales (See Note 7 - Real Estate Activity) that bears interest at SOFR plus 3% and matures on March 15, 2026, with two one-year extension options. As of December 31, 2023, no advances have been drawn on the loan.

On November 6, 2023, we entered into a $25,407 construction loan to finance the development of Merano (See Note 7 - Real Estate Activity) that bears interest at prime plus 0.25% and matures on November 6, 2028. As of December 31, 2023, no advances have been drawn on the loan.

13. Bonds Payable

We issued three series of nonconvertible bonds ("Bonds") through SPC, which were traded on the TASE. The Bonds were denominated in New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") and provided for semiannual principal and interest payments.

In connection with the Bonds, we incurred a gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions of $993, $20,067, and $(6,175), for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The outstanding balance of our Bonds at December 31, 2022 was as follows:

(1)    The bonds were collateralized by the assets of SPC.

(2)    The bonds were collateralized by a trust deed in Browning Place, a 625,297 square foot office building in Dallas, Texas.

On January 31, 2023, we completed our scheduled bond payment, which included the full repayment of the Series C bonds. On May 4, 2023, we paid off the remaining balances of the Series A and Series B Bonds and withdrew from the TASE.

14. Related Party Transactions

We engage in certain business transactions with related parties, including but not limited to asset acquisition and dispositions of real estate. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s length basis due to the absence of free market forces that naturally exist in business dealings between two or more unrelated entities. Related party transactions may not always be favorable to our business and may include terms, conditions and agreements that are not necessarily beneficial to or in our best interest.

Pillar and Regis are wholly owned by affiliates of the MRHI, which also indirectly owns approximately 90.8% of ARL. Pillar is compensated for services in accordance with an Advisory Agreement. Regis receives property management fees and leasing commissions in accordance with the terms of its property-level management agreement. In addition, Regis is entitled to receive real estate brokerage commissions in accordance with the terms of a non-exclusive brokerage agreement.

Rental income includes $882, $931 and $944 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for office space leased to Pillar and Regis.

Property operating expense includes $366, $433 and $889 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for management fees on commercial properties payable to Regis.

General and administrative expense includes $3,701, $3,899 and $4,091 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for employee compensation and other reimbursable costs payable to Pillar.

Advisory fees paid to Pillar were $9,156, $7,974 and $11,782 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Notes receivable include amounts held by UHF (See Note 9 – Notes Receivable), which is deemed to be a related party due to our significant investment in the performance of the collateral secured by the notes receivable. Related party receivables represent amounts outstanding from Pillar for loans and advances, net of unreimbursed fees, expenses and costs as provided above. Interest income on UHF notes and related party receivables was $16,432, $16,714 and $14,329 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Accrued interest on the UHF notes of $1,742 and $4,040 is included in other assets at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

15. Noncontrolling Interests

The noncontrolling interest represents the third party ownership interest in Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IOR"). Shares of IOR are listed on the NYSE American under the symbol of IOR. We owned 82.3% in IOR during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 81.1% during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

16. Stockholders' Equity

Our decision to declare dividends on common stock is determined on an annual basis following the end of each year. In accordance with that policy, no dividends on our common stock were declared for 2023, 2022 or 2021. Future dividends to common stockholders will be determined in light of conditions then existing, including our financial condition and requirements, future prospects, restrictions in financing agreements, business conditions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

17. Deferred Income

In previous years, we sold properties to related parties where we had continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the sale of the properties. Because of the continuing involvement associated with the sale, the sales criteria for the full accrual method was not met, and as such, we deferred the gain recognition and accounted for the transactions by applying the finance, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate. The gains on these transactions have been deferred until the properties are sold to a non-related third party. As of December 31, 2023, we had a deferred gain of $581.

18. Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. We record uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The expense (benefit) for income taxes consists of:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2023		2022		2021
Current:
Federal	$	1,768	$	77,668	$	(1,011)

19. Commitments and Contingencies

We believe that we will generate excess cash from property operations in the next twelve months; such excess, however, might not be sufficient to discharge all of our obligations as they become due. We intend to sell income-producing assets, refinance real estate and obtain additional borrowings primarily secured by real estate to meet our liquidity requirements.

ITEM 9.    CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting. These limitations include the possibility of human error, the circumvention of overriding of the system and reasonable resource constraints. Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013). Based on management’s assessments and those criteria, management has concluded that Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial report. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In preparation for management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, we documented and tested the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B.    OTHER INFORMATION

Not applicable.

PART III

ITEM 10.    DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Directors

The affairs of the Company are managed by our Board of Directors. The Directors are elected at the annual meeting of stockholders or appointed by the incumbent Board and serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until a successor has been elected or approved.

An objective is for a majority of our Board to be independent directors. For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. The Board has established guidelines to assist it in determining director independence which conform to, or are more exacting than, the independence requirements in the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") listing rules. The independence guidelines are set forth in our “Corporate Governance Guidelines”. The text of this document has been posted on our internet website at www.transconrealty-invest.com ("Investor Relations Website") and is available in print to any shareholder who requests it. In addition to applying these guidelines, the Board will consider all relevant facts and circumstances in making an independence determination.

We have adopted a code of conduct that applies to all Directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Stockholders may find our code of conduct on our website by going to our Investor Relations Website. We will post any amendments to the code of conduct, as well as any waivers that are required to be disclosed by the rules of the Security Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or the NYSE on our website.

Our Board of Directors has adopted charters for our Audit, Compensation and Governance and Nominating Committees of the Board of Directors. Stockholders may find these documents on our website by going to our Investor Relations Website. You may also obtain a printed copy of the materials referred to by contacting us at the following address: 

Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. 

Attn: Investor Relations 

1603 LBJ Freeway, Suite 800 

Dallas, Texas 75234 

Telephone: 469-522-4200

All members of the Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees must be independent directors. Members of the Audit Committee must also satisfy additional independence requirements, which provide (i) that they may not accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or compensatory fee from the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than their director’s compensation (other than in their capacity as a member of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors, or any other committee of the Board), and (ii) no member of the Audit Committee may be an “affiliated person” of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as defined by the SEC.

Our current directors are listed below, together with their ages, terms of service, all positions and offices with us and our current advisor, Pillar, their principal occupations, business experience and directorships with other companies during the last five years or more. The designation “affiliated”, when used below with respect to a director, means that the director is an officer, director or employee of Pillar, an officer of the Company, or an officer or director of a related party of the Company. The designation “independent”, when used below with respect to a Director, means that the Director is neither an officer of the Company nor a director, officer or employee of Pillar but may be a director of the Company, although the Company may have certain business or professional relationships with such Director as discussed in Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the policies of the Company relating to compensation to be paid by the Company to our principal executive officer and any other officers designated by the Board and make recommendations to the Board with respect to such policies, produce necessary reports and executive compensation for inclusion in our Proxy Statement in accordance with applicable rules and regulations and to monitor the development and implementation of succession plans for the principal executive officers and other key executives and make recommendations to the Board with respect to such plans.

Determination of Directors' Independence

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines ("Guidelines") meet or exceed the new listing standards adopted during that year by the NYSE. The full text of our Guidelines can be found on our Investor Relations Website.

Pursuant to the Guidelines, the Board undertook its annual review of director independence in May 2023 and during this review, the Board considered transactions and relationships between each director or any member of his or her immediate family and the Company and its subsidiaries and related parties, including those reported under Certain Relationships and Related Transactions below. The Board also examined transactions and relationship between directors or their related parties and members of our senior management or their related parties. As provided in the Guidelines, the purpose of such review was to determine whether such relationships or transactions were inconsistent with the determination that the director is independent.

As a result of these reviews, the Board affirmatively determined of the then directors, Messrs. Butler, Hogan, Jakuszewski, Lara and Munselle are each independent of the Company and its Management under the standards set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Executive Officers

Executive officers of the Company are listed below, all of whom are employed by Pillar. None of the executive officers receive any direct remuneration from the Company nor do any hold any options granted by the Company. Their positions with the Company are not subject to a vote of stockholders. In addition to the following executive officers, the Company has several vice presidents and assistant secretaries who are not listed herein. The ages, terms of service and all positions and offices with the Company, Pillar, other related entities, other principal occupations, business experience and directorships with other publicly-held companies during the last five years or more are set forth below.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics entitled “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics” that applies to all directors, officers, and employees (including those of our Advisor). In addition, we have adopted a code of ethics entitled “Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers” that applies to the principal executive officer, president, principal financial officer, chief financial officer, chief accounting officer, and controller. The text of these documents has been posted on our Investor Relations Website and are available in print to any stockholder who requests them.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Under the securities laws of the United States, the directors, executive officers, and any persons holding more than 10% of our shares of Common stock are required to report their share ownership and any changes in that ownership to the SEC. Specific due dates for these reports have been established and we are required to report any failure to file by these dates. All of these filing requirements were satisfied by our directors, executive officers, and 10% holders during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. In making these statements, we have relied on the written representations of our incumbent directors and executive officers, 10% holders and copies of the reports that they have filed with the SEC.

The Advisor

Pillar has been our Advisor and Cash Manager since April 30, 2011. Although the Board of Directors is directly responsible for managing the affairs of the Company, and for setting the policies which guide it, our day-to-day operations are performed by Pillar, as the contractual advisor, under the supervision of the Board.  Pillar’s duties include, but are not limited to, locating, evaluating and recommending real estate and real estate-related investment opportunities and arranging debt and equity financing for the Company with third party lenders and investors.  Additionally, Pillar serves as a consultant to the Board with regard to their decisions in connection with our business plan and investment policy.  Pillar also serves as an Advisor and Cash Manager to ARL and IOR.  As the contractual advisor, Pillar is compensated under an Advisory Agreement that is more fully described in Part III, Item 10. “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance – The Advisor”.  We have no employees and as such, employees of Pillar render services to us in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement.

Pillar is a Nevada corporation, the sole stockholder of which is Realty Advisors, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, the sole member of which is RAI, a Nevada corporation, the sole stockholder of which is MRHI, a Delaware corporation, the sole stockholder of which is a trust known as the May Trust. The beneficiaries of the May Trust are the children of the late Gene E. Phillips.

Under the Advisory Agreement, Pillar is required to annually formulate and submit, for Board approval, a budget and business plan containing a twelve-month forecast of operations and cash flow, a general plan for asset sales and purchases, lending, foreclosure and borrowing activity, and other investments. Pillar is required to report quarterly to the Board on TCI’s performance against the business plan. In addition, all transactions require prior Board approval, unless they are explicitly provided for in the approved business plan or are made pursuant to authority expressly delegated to Pillar by the Board.

The Advisory Agreement also requires prior Board approval for the retention of all consultants and third party professionals, other than legal counsel. The Advisory Agreement provides that Pillar shall be deemed to be in a fiduciary relationship to our stockholders; contains a broad standard governing Pillar’s liability for losses incurred by us; and contains guidelines for Pillar’s allocation of investment opportunities as among itself, the Company and other entities it advises. Pillar is a company of which Messrs. Johnson and Corna serve as executive officers.

The Advisory Agreement provides for Pillar to be responsible for our day-to-day operations and to receive, as compensation for basic management and advisory services, a gross asset fee of 0.0625% per month (0.75% per annum) of the average of the gross asset value (total assets less allowance for amortization, depreciation or depletion and valuation reserves).

In addition to base compensation, Pillar receives the following forms of additional compensation:

(1)an annual net income fee equal to 7.5% of our net income as an incentive for successful investment and management of our assets;

(2)an annual incentive sales fee to encourage periodic sales of appreciated real property at optimum value equal to 10.0% of the amount, if any, by which the aggregate sales consideration for all real estate sold by us during such fiscal year exceeds the sum of:

59

(a)the cost of each such property as originally recorded in our books for tax purposes (without deduction for depreciation, amortization or reserve for losses);

(b)capital improvements made to such assets during the period owned; and

(c)all closing costs (including real estate commissions) incurred in the sale of such real estate; provided however, no incentive fee shall be paid unless (a) such real estate sold in such fiscal year, in the aggregate, has produced an 8.0% simple annual return on the net investment including capital improvements, calculated over the holding period before depreciation and inclusive of operating income and sales consideration, and (b) the aggregate net operating income from all real estate owned for each of the prior and current fiscal years shall be at least 5.0% higher in the current fiscal year than in the prior fiscal year;

(3)an acquisition commission, from an unaffiliated party of any existing mortgage or loan, for supervising the acquisition, purchase or long-term lease of real estate equal to the lesser of:

(a)up to 1.0% of the cost of acquisition, inclusive of commissions, if any, paid to non-affiliated brokers; or

(b)the compensation customarily charged in arm’s-length transactions by others rendering similar property acquisition services as an ongoing public activity in the same geographical location and for comparable property, provided that the aggregate purchase price of each property (including acquisition fees and real estate brokerage commissions) may not exceed such property’s appraised value at acquisition;

(4)reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the advisor in the performance of advisory services.

The Advisory Agreement also provides that Pillar receive the following forms of compensation:

(1)a mortgage or loan acquisition fee with respect to the acquisition or purchase from an unaffiliated party of any existing mortgage loan by us equal to the lesser of:

(a)1.0% of the amount of the mortgage or loan purchased; or

(b)a brokerage or commitment fee which is reasonable and fair under the circumstances. Such fee will not be paid in connection with the origination or funding of any mortgage loan by us; and

(2)a mortgage brokerage and equity refinancing fee for obtaining loans or refinancing on properties equal to the lesser of:

(a)1.0% of the amount of the loan or the amount refinanced; or

(b)a brokerage or refinancing fee which is reasonable and fair under the circumstances; provided, however, that no such fee shall be paid on loans from Pillar, or a related party of Pillar, without the approval of our Board of Directors. No fee shall be paid on loan extensions.

Under the Advisory Agreement, all or a portion of the annual advisory fee must be refunded by the Advisor if our operating expenses (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) exceed certain limits specified in the Advisory Agreement based on our book value, net asset value and net income during the fiscal year.

The Advisory Agreement requires Pillar to pay us, one-half of any compensation received from third parties with respect to the origination, placement or brokerage of any loan made by us; provided, however, that the compensation retained by Pillar, or any affiliate of Pillar, shall not exceed the lesser of (1) 2.0% of the amount of the loan commitment or (2) a loan brokerage and commitment fee which is reasonable and fair under the circumstances.

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

60

If and to the extent that we request Pillar, or any director, officer, partner, or employee of Pillar, to render services for us other than those required to be rendered by the Advisory Agreement, Pillar separately would be compensated for such additional services on terms to be agreed upon between such party and us from time to time. As discussed below, under “Property Management and Real Estate Brokerage,” Regis Realty Prime, LLC (“Regis”) manages our commercial properties and provides brokerage services.

We have a Cash Management Agreement with Pillar that provides that all of our funds are delivered to Pillar which has a deposit liability to us and is responsible for payment of all payables and investment of all excess funds which earned interest at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 1.0% per annum, as set quarterly on the first day of each calendar quarter. Borrowings for our benefit bear the same interest rate. The term of the Cash Management Agreement is coterminous with the Advisory Agreement, and is automatically renewed each year unless terminated with the Advisory Agreement. We believe that the terms of the Advisory Agreement are at least as fair as could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Situations may develop in which our interests are in conflict with those of one or more directors or officers in their individual capacities, or of Pillar, or of their respective related parties. In addition to services performed for us, as described above, Pillar 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 ARL and IOR. The Advisory Agreement provides that Pillar may also serve as advisor to other entities.

As advisor, Pillar is a fiduciary of our public investors. In determining to which entity a particular investment opportunity will be allocated, Pillar 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. Refer to Part III, Item 13 “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”.

Pillar may assign the Advisory Agreement with our prior consent.

The principal executive officers of Pillar are set forth below:

Name	Officers
Erik L. Johnson	Interim President
Louis J. Corna	Executive Vice President and Secretary

ITEM 11.    EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We have no employees, payroll or benefit plans and pay no compensation to our executive officers. Our executive officers are also officers and employees of Pillar, our Advisor, and are compensated by Pillar. Such executive officers perform a variety of services for Pillar and the amount of their compensation is determined solely by Pillar. Pillar does not allocate the cash compensation of its officers among the various entities for which it serves as advisor. Refer to Item 10. “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance” for a more detailed discussion of the compensation payable to Pillar by us.

The only remuneration paid by us is to our directors who are not officers or employees of Pillar or its related companies. The Independent Directors (1) review our business plan to determine that it is in the best interest of our stockholders, (2) review the advisory contract, (3) supervise the performance of the advisor and review the reasonableness of the compensation paid to the advisor in terms of the nature and quality of services performed, (4) review the reasonableness of our total fees and expenses and (5) select, when necessary, a qualified independent real estate appraiser to appraise properties acquired.

Except for Henry A. Butler, who is paid a fee per meeting attended, each non-affiliated Director is entitled to receive an annual retainer of $12,000, with the Chairman of the Audit Committee to receive an additional annual fee of $500. Directors who are also employees of the Company or its advisor receive no additional compensation for service as a Director.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, $54,332 was paid to non-employee Directors in total Directors’ fees. The fees paid to the directors are as follows: Henry A. Butler $5,832; William J. Hogan, $12,000; Robert A. Jakuszewski, $12,000; Fernando V. Lara Celis, $3,000; Ted R. Munselle, $12,500 and Raymond D. Roberts, Sr., $9,000.

ITEM 13.    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Policies with Respect to Certain Activities

Article 14 of our Articles of Incorporation provides that we shall not, directly or indirectly, contract or engage in any transaction with (1) any director, officer or employee of the Company, (2) any director, officer or employee of the advisor, (3) the advisor, or (4) any affiliate or associate (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act of any of the aforementioned persons, unless (a) the material facts as to the relationship among or financial interest of the relevant individuals or persons and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed to or are known by our Board of Directors or the appropriate committee thereof and (b) our Board of Directors or committee thereof determines that such contract or transaction is fair to the Company and simultaneously authorizes or ratifies such contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of our independent directors entitled to vote thereon.

Article 14 defines an “Independent Director” (for purposes of that Article) as one who is neither an officer or employee of the Company, nor a director, officer or employee of our advisor.

Our 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. We believe that, to date, such transactions have represented the best investments available at the time and they were at least as advantageous to us as other investments that could have been obtained.

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

We do not prohibit its officers, directors, stockholders, or related parties from engaging in business activities of the types conducted by the Company.

63

Certain Business Relationships

Pillar is our Advisor and Cash Manager since April 30, 2011.  Although the Board of Directors is directly responsible for managing our affairs, and for setting the policies which guide it, our day-to-day operations are performed by Pillar, as the contractual advisor, under the supervision of the Board.  Pillar’s duties include, but are not limited to, locating, evaluating and recommending real estate and real estate-related investment opportunities and arranging debt and equity financing for the Company with third party lenders and investors.  Additionally, Pillar serves as a consultant to the Board with regard to their decisions in connection with our business plan and investment policy.  Pillar also serves as an Advisor and Cash Manager to ARL and IOR.  As the contractual advisor, Pillar is compensated under an Advisory Agreement that is more fully described in Part III, Item 10. “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance – The Advisor”.  We have no employees and as such, employees of Pillar render services to us in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement.

Pillar is owned by RAI, which is owned by MRHI, which is owned by the May Trust.  

All of our directors also serve as Directors of ARL, and with the exception of Mr. Hogan and Mr. Phillips, serve as Directors of IOR. Our executive officers also serve as executive officers of ARL and IOR. As such, they owe fiduciary duties to that entity as well as to Pillar under applicable law. ARL and IOR have the same relationship with Pillar, as does the Company.

Effective since January 1, 2011, Regis manages our commercial properties for a fee of 3.0% or less of the monthly gross rents collected on the commercial properties it manages, and leasing commissions of 6.0% or less in accordance with the terms of its property-level management agreement.

At December 31, 2023, we owned approximately 82.3% of the outstanding common shares of IOR.

We are part of a tax sharing and compensating agreement with respect to federal income taxes among the Company, ARL, and IOR and their subsidiaries. In accordance with the agreement, our expense (benefit) in each year is calculated based on the amount of losses absorbed by taxable income multiplied by the maximum statutory tax rate of 21%.

We have a development agreement with Unified Housing Foundation, Inc. “UHF” a non-profit corporation that provides management services for the development of residential apartment projects in the future. We have also invested in surplus cash notes receivables from UHF and have sold several residential apartment properties to UHF in prior years. Due to this ongoing relationship and the significant investment in the performance of the collateral secured under the notes receivable, UHF has been determined to be a related party.

Related Party Transactions

The Company has historically engaged in and may continue to engage in certain business transactions with related parties, including but not limited to asset acquisition and dispositions. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s length basis due to the absence of free market forces that naturally exist in business dealings between two or more unrelated entities. Related party transactions may not always be favorable to our business and may include terms, conditions and agreements that are not necessarily beneficial to or in the best interest of our company.

In 2023, we paid Pillar advisory fees of $9.2 million and cost reimbursements of $3.7 million and paid Regis property management fees of $0.4 million. 

In connection with our ongoing development projects, we paid development fees of $0.4 million to Pillar in 2023. In 2023, we also acquired parcels land in connection with these projects at aggregate appraised values of $8.8 million from Pillar in exchange for a reduction in our related party receivable with Pillar.

As of December 31, 2023, we had notes and interest receivables of $65.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively, due from related parties. Refer to Part 2, Item 8. Note 9 – Notes Receivable of our consolidated financial statements. During the current period, we recognized interest income of $6.3 million, received $1.6 million principal payments and received interest payments of $5.6 million from these related party notes receivables.

We received rental revenue of $0.9 million, for the year ended December 31, 2023 for office space leased to Pillar and Regis.

64

From time to time, we have made advances and/or borrowing to/from Pillar in accordance with our Cash Management Agreement. The interest rate, set at the beginning of each quarter, was prime rate plus 1.0% on the average daily cash balances advanced. At December 31, 2023, we had a receivable from Pillar in the amount of $136.2 million and recognized interest income of $13.2 million during the current period..

Director Independence

See “Determination of Director Independence” under Item 10 above to which reference is made.

ITEM 14.    PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we were billed by Farmer, Fuqua and Huff, L.P. for services in the following categories:

Audit Fees. Fees for audit services were $283,900 and $226,800 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These are fees for professional services performed by the principal auditor for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in the Company’s 10-Q filings and services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filing or engagement.

Audit-Related Fees. No fees for audit-related services were paid for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.  These are fees for assurance and related services performed by the principal auditor that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements. These services include attestations by the principal auditor that are not required by statute or regulation and consulting on financial accounting/reporting standards.

Tax Fees. Fees for tax services were $1,600 and $3,000 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These are fees for professional services performed by the principal auditor with respect to tax compliance, tax planning, tax consultation, returns preparation and review of returns. The review of tax returns includes the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

All Other Fees. No other fees were paid for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. These are fees for other permissible work performed by the principal auditor that do not meet the above category descriptions.

All services rendered by the principal auditors are permissible under applicable laws and regulations and were pre-approved by either the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee, as required by law. The fees paid to the principal auditors for the services described in the above table fall under the categories listed below:

These services are actively monitored (as to both spending level and work content) by the Audit Committee to maintain the appropriate objectivity and independence in the principal auditor’s core work, which is the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Audit Committee has established policies and procedures for the approval and pre-approval of audit services and permitted non-audit services. The Audit Committee has the responsibility to engage and terminate our independent auditors, to pre-approve their performance of audit services and permitted non-audit services, to approve all audit and non-audit fees, and to set guidelines for permitted non-audit services and fees. All fees for 2023 and 2022 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee or were within the pre-approved guidelines for permitted non-audit services and fees established by the Audit Committee, and there were no instances of waiver of approved requirements or guidelines during the same periods.

Our Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy of audit and non-audit services (the “Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and conditions pursuant to which services to be performed by the independent auditor are to be pre-approved. Consistent with the SEC rules establishing two different approaches to pre-approving non-prohibited services, the Policy of the Audit Committee covers Pre-approval of audit services, audit-related services, international administration tax services, non-U.S. income tax compliance services, pension and benefit plan consulting and compliance services, and U.S. tax compliance and planning. At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Audit Committee will evaluate other known potential engagements of the independent auditor, including the scope of work proposed to be performed and the proposed fees, and will approve or reject each service, taking into account whether services are permissible under applicable law and the possible impact of each non-audit service on the independent auditor’s independence from management. Typically, in addition to the generally pre-approved services, other services would include due diligence for an acquisition that may or may not have been known at the beginning of the year. The Audit Committee has also delegated to any member of the Audit Committee designated by the Board or the

65

financial expert member of the Audit Committee responsibilities to pre-approve services to be performed by the independent auditor not exceeding $25,000 in value or cost per engagement of audit and non-audit services, and such authority may only be exercised when the Audit Committee is not in session.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization

Organization

As used herein, the terms “the Company”, “We”, “Our”, or “Us” refer to Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc., a Nevada corporation, which was formed in 1984. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “TCI”. Approximately 78% of our common stock is owned by American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARL”), whose common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “ARL”, and 7% is owned by the controlling stockholder of ARL.

Our primary business is the acquisition, development and ownership of income-producing residential and commercial real estate properties. In addition, we opportunistically acquire land for future development in in-fill or high-growth suburban markets. From time to time, and when we believe it appropriate to do so, we will also sell land and income-producing properties. We generate revenues by leasing apartment units to residents, and leasing office, industrial and retail space to various for-profit businesses as well as certain local, state and federal agencies. We also generate income from the sales of income-producing properties and land.

Substantially all of our assets are held by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern Properties Capital Ltd. (“SPC”), which was formed to allow us to raise funds by issuing non-convertible bonds that were listed and traded on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE").

At December 31, 2023, our property portfolio consisted of:

●     Four office buildings ("commercial properties") comprising in aggregate of approximately 1,056,793 square feet;

●    Fourteen multifamily properties comprising in 2,328 units; and

●    Approximately 1,843 acres of developed and undeveloped land.

Our day to day operations are managed by Pillar Income Asset Management, Inc. (“Pillar”). Their duties include, but are not limited to, locating, evaluating and recommending real estate-related investment opportunities and arranging debt and equity financing with third party lenders and investors. All of our employees are Pillar employees. Three of our commercial properties are managed by Regis Realty Prime, LLC (“Regis”). Regis provides leasing, construction management and brokerage services. All of our multifamily properties and one of our commercial properties are managed by outside management companies. Pillar and Regis are considered to be related parties (See Note 14 – Related Party Transactions).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America.

We consolidate entities in which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or have a majority of the voting interest of the entity. We have determined that we are a primary beneficiary of the VIE when we have (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impacts its economic performance, and (ii) the obligations to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider qualitative and quantitative factors, including ownership interest, management representation, ability to control decision and other contractual rights. We account for entities in which we have less than a controlling financial interest or entities where we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, we include our share of the net earnings or losses of these entities in our results of operations.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operation. An adjustment has been made to reclassify $2,947 and $1,621 interest expense to related parties for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, from interest expense to interest income on our consolidated statements of operations.

Real estate, depreciation, and impairment

Real estate assets are stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, if deemed impaired. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated remaining useful lives. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the properties (buildings and improvements—10 to 40 years; furniture, fixtures and equipment—5 to 10 years).

We assess whether an indicator of impairment in the value of our real estate exists by considering expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors include projected rental revenue, operating costs and capital expenditures as well as estimated holding periods and capitalization rates. If an impairment indicator exists, the determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, excluding interest expense. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is determined by comparing the fair value, as determined by a discounted cash flows analysis, with the carrying value of the related assets. We generally hold and operate our income producing real estate long-term, which decreases the likelihood of their carrying values not being recoverable. Real estate classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Cost capitalization

The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. We also capitalize development costs including costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property as well as interest, property taxes, insurance, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized costs also include direct and certain indirect costs clearly associated with the project. Indirect costs include real estate taxes, insurance and certain shared administrative costs. In assessing the amounts of direct and indirect costs to be capitalized, allocations are made to projects based on estimates of the actual amount of time spent on each activity. Indirect costs not clearly associated with specific projects are expensed as period costs.

We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We cease capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

Deferred leasing costs

We capitalize leasing costs on our commercial properties, which include commissions paid to outside brokers, legal costs incurred to negotiate and document a lease agreement. We allocate these costs to individual tenant leases and amortize them over the related lease term.

Fair value measurement

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date that is other than in a forced or liquidation sale. In determining fair value we apply the following hierarchy:

Level 1 —Unadjusted quoted prices for identical and unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 —Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 —Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Related parties

Related parties are persons or entities who have one or more of the following characteristics, which include entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, trust for the benefit of persons including principal owners of the entities and members of their immediate families, management personnel of the entity and members of their immediate families and other parties with which the entity may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the decision making of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests, or affiliates of the entity.

Recognition of revenue

Rental revenue includes fixed minimum rents, reimbursement of operating costs and other leasing income. Rental revenue for residential property, which is generally leased for twelve months or less, is recorded when due from residents, whereas rental revenue for commercial properties, which is generally leased for more than twelve months, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.

Reimbursements of operating costs, as allowed under most of our commercial tenant leases, consist of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs, and are recognized as revenue in the period in which the recoverable expenses are incurred. We record these reimbursements on a “gross” basis, since we generally are the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers; we have discretion in selecting the supplier and have the credit risk with respect to paying the supplier.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for all past due rents and operating expense reimbursements considered to be uncollectible.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, for which cost approximates fair value. Restricted cash includes cash balances held in escrow by financial institutions under the terms of certain secured notes payable and certain unsecured bonds payable.

Concentration of credit risk

We maintain our cash balances at commercial banks and through investment companies, the deposits that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we maintained balances in excess of the insured amount.

Income taxes

We are a “C” corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we are included in the May Realty Holdings, Inc. ("MRHI") consolidated group for tax purposes. We have a tax sharing agreement that specifies the manner in which the group will share the consolidated tax liability and also how certain tax attributes are to be treated among members of the group.

Comprehensive income

Net income and comprehensive income are the same for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Use of estimates

In the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, it is 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 ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Operating Segments

Operating Segments

Our segments are based on the internal reporting that we review for operational decision-making purposes. We operate in two reportable segments: (i) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily properties ("Residential Segment") and (ii) the acquisition, ownership and management of commercial real estate properties ("Commercial Segment"). The services for our segments include rental of property and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. Asset information by segment is not reported because we do not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources. Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments. General and administrative expenses, advisory fees, interest income and interest expense are not included in segment profit as our internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level.

The following table presents our profit by reportable segment:

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

On November 16, 2018, our SPC subsidiary formed the Victory Abode Apartments, LLC ("VAA"), a joint venture with the Macquarie Group (“Macquarie”). VAA was formed as a result of a sale of the 50% ownership interest in a portfolio multifamily properties owned by us in exchange for a 50% voting interest in VAA and a note payable (“Mezzanine Loan”).

In connection with the formation of VAA, ten of the initial properties were subject to an earn-out provision ("Earn Out") that provided for a remeasurement of value after a two-year period following the completion of construction. Upon the formation of VAA, we recorded an initial liability ("Earn Out Obligation") of $10,000 for the advance on the Earn Out that we received from Macquarie. Upon remeasurement, the Earn Out Obligation was determined to be approximately $39,600, and as a result, we recorded a charge of $29,600 in 2021 (See Note 7 – Real Estate Activity). In accordance with the joint venture operating agreement, the Earn Out Obligation was paid from our share of subsequent distributions from VAA.

On March 30, 2021, we sold a 50% ownership interest in Overlook at Allensville Phase II, a 144 unit multifamily property in Sevierville, Tennessee to Macquarie for $2,551, resulting in a gain on sale of $1,417. Concurrent with the sale, we each contributed our 50% ownership interests in the property into VAA.

On June 17, 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell 45 properties (“VAA Sale Portfolio”) owned by VAA and one property owned by our SPC subsidiary.

On September 16, 2022, VAA completed the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio for $1,810,700, resulting in a gain on sale of $738,444 to the joint venture. In connection with sale, we received an initial distribution of $182,848 from VAA, which included the payment of the remaining balance of the Earn Out Obligation.

On November 1, 2022, we received an additional distribution from VAA, which included the full operational control of the seven remaining properties ("VAA Holdback Portfolio") (See Note 11 - Acquisitions) and a cash payment of $204,036.

On March 23, 2023, we received $17,976 from VAA, which represented the remaining distribution of the proceeds from the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio.

We used our share of the proceeds from the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio to invest in short-term investments, investment in real estate, pay down our debt and for general corporate purposes.

Acquisitions

On November 1, 2022, we acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in the VAA Holdback Portfolio that we did not previously own through a distribution from VAA (See Note 10 – Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures). Prior to the acquisition, we had accounted for the VAA Holdback Portfolio under the equity method of accounting as part of our investment in VAA. As a result of this transaction, we obtained 100% ownership of the VAA Holdback Portfolio. The acquisition was completed in order to obtain 100% ownership and control over this well positioned portfolio of multifamily residential properties in the Southern United States.

The VAA Holdback Portfolio consisted of the following properties:

Property	Location	Units
Blue Lake Villas	Waxahachie, TX	186
Blue Lake Villas Phase II	Waxahachie, TX	70
Northside on Travis	Sherman, TX	200
Parc at Denham Springs	Denham Spring, LA	224
Residences at Holland Lake	Weatherford, TX	208
Villas of Park West I	Pueblo, CO	148
Villas of Park West II	Pueblo, CO	112
		1,148

The following is a summary of the allocation of the fair value of the VAA Holdback Portfolio:

Real estate	$	219,500
Other assets	4,843
Total assets acquired	224,343
Mortgage notes payable	70,330
Accounts payable and other liabilities	1,624
Accrued interest	190
Total liabilities assumed	72,144
Fair value of acquired net assets (100% ownership)	$	152,199

We have determined that the purchase price represented the fair value of the additional ownership interest in the VAA Holdback Portfolio that was acquired.

Fair value of existing ownership interest (at 50% ownership)	$	219,500
Carrying value of investment	146,313
Gain on remeasurement of assets	$	73,187

From November 1, 2022, we have included the VAA Holdback Portfolio in our consolidated financial statements.

(1)    On August 28, 2023, we paid off the loan.

(2)    On November 1, 2022, we agreed to assume the mortgage note payable from our joint venture in connection with the acquisition of the underlying property (See Note 11 - Acquisitions) and obtained final lender approval of the assumption in 2023.

(3)    On November 1, 2022, we agreed to assume the mortgage note payable from our joint venture in connection with the acquisition of the underlying property (See Note 11 - Acquisitions) and obtained final lender approval of the assumption in 2024.

(4)    On February 28, 2023, we extended the maturity of the loan to February 28, 2024 at an interest rate of 7.75%. On February 8, 2024, we extended the maturity to February 28, 2026 at an interest rate of 7.50%.

As of December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all of our loan covenants except for the minimum debt service coverage ratio (“DSCR”) for the loan on 770 South Post Oak. As a result, the lender requires us to lock the surplus cash flow of the property into a designated deposit account controlled by them, until we are in compliance with the DSCR for a period of two consecutive quarters.

Bonds Payable

We issued three series of nonconvertible bonds ("Bonds") through SPC, which were traded on the TASE. The Bonds were denominated in New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") and provided for semiannual principal and interest payments.

In connection with the Bonds, we incurred a gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions of $993, $20,067, and $(6,175), for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The outstanding balance of our Bonds at December 31, 2022 was as follows:

			Interest Rate

(1)    The bonds were collateralized by the assets of SPC.

(2)    The bonds were collateralized by a trust deed in Browning Place, a 625,297 square foot office building in Dallas, Texas.

On January 31, 2023, we completed our scheduled bond payment, which included the full repayment of the Series C bonds. On May 4, 2023, we paid off the remaining balances of the Series A and Series B Bonds and withdrew from the TASE.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]

Related Party Transactions

Related Party Transactions

We engage in certain business transactions with related parties, including but not limited to asset acquisition and dispositions of real estate. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s length basis due to the absence of free market forces that naturally exist in business dealings between two or more unrelated entities. Related party transactions may not always be favorable to our business and may include terms, conditions and agreements that are not necessarily beneficial to or in our best interest.

Pillar and Regis are wholly owned by affiliates of the MRHI, which also indirectly owns approximately 90.8% of ARL. Pillar is compensated for services in accordance with an Advisory Agreement. Regis receives property management fees and leasing commissions in accordance with the terms of its property-level management agreement. In addition, Regis is entitled to receive real estate brokerage commissions in accordance with the terms of a non-exclusive brokerage agreement.

Rental income includes $882, $931 and $944 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for office space leased to Pillar and Regis.

Property operating expense includes $366, $433 and $889 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for management fees on commercial properties payable to Regis.

General and administrative expense includes $3,701, $3,899 and $4,091 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for employee compensation and other reimbursable costs payable to Pillar.

Advisory fees paid to Pillar were $9,156, $7,974 and $11,782 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Notes receivable include amounts held by UHF (See Note 9 – Notes Receivable), which is deemed to be a related party due to our significant investment in the performance of the collateral secured by the notes receivable. Related party receivables represent amounts outstanding from Pillar for loans and advances, net of unreimbursed fees, expenses and costs as provided above. Interest income on UHF notes and related party receivables was $16,432, $16,714 and $14,329 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Accrued interest on the UHF notes of $1,742 and $4,040 is included in other assets at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Deferred Income

In previous years, we sold properties to related parties where we had continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the sale of the properties. Because of the continuing involvement associated with the sale, the sales criteria for the full accrual method was not met, and as such, we deferred the gain recognition and accounted for the transactions by applying the finance, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate. The gains on these transactions have been deferred until the properties are sold to a non-related third party. As of December 31, 2023, we had a deferred gain of $581.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. We record uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The expense (benefit) for income taxes consists of:

We are subject to taxation in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions.  As of December 31, 2023, our tax years for 2023, 2022, and 2021 are subject to examination by the tax authorities.  With few exceptions, as of December 31, 2022, we are no longer subject to U.S federal, state, local, or foreign examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2016.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2023

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America.

We consolidate entities in which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or have a majority of the voting interest of the entity. We have determined that we are a primary beneficiary of the VIE when we have (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impacts its economic performance, and (ii) the obligations to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider qualitative and quantitative factors, including ownership interest, management representation, ability to control decision and other contractual rights. We account for entities in which we have less than a controlling financial interest or entities where we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, we include our share of the net earnings or losses of these entities in our results of operations.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operation. An adjustment has been made to reclassify $2,947 and $1,621 interest expense to related parties for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, from interest expense to interest income on our consolidated statements of operations.

Real estate assets are stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, if deemed impaired. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated remaining useful lives. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the properties (buildings and improvements—10 to 40 years; furniture, fixtures and equipment—5 to 10 years).

We assess whether an indicator of impairment in the value of our real estate exists by considering expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors include projected rental revenue, operating costs and capital expenditures as well as estimated holding periods and capitalization rates. If an impairment indicator exists, the determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, excluding interest expense. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is determined by comparing the fair value, as determined by a discounted cash flows analysis, with the carrying value of the related assets. We generally hold and operate our income producing real estate long-term, which decreases the likelihood of their carrying values not being recoverable. Real estate classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Cost capitalization

Cost capitalization

The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. We also capitalize development costs including costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property as well as interest, property taxes, insurance, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized costs also include direct and certain indirect costs clearly associated with the project. Indirect costs include real estate taxes, insurance and certain shared administrative costs. In assessing the amounts of direct and indirect costs to be capitalized, allocations are made to projects based on estimates of the actual amount of time spent on each activity. Indirect costs not clearly associated with specific projects are expensed as period costs.

We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We cease capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

Deferred leasing costs

Deferred leasing costs

We capitalize leasing costs on our commercial properties, which include commissions paid to outside brokers, legal costs incurred to negotiate and document a lease agreement. We allocate these costs to individual tenant leases and amortize them over the related lease term.

Fair value measurement

Fair value measurement

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date that is other than in a forced or liquidation sale. In determining fair value we apply the following hierarchy:

Level 1 —Unadjusted quoted prices for identical and unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 —Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 —Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Related parties

Related parties

Related parties are persons or entities who have one or more of the following characteristics, which include entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, trust for the benefit of persons including principal owners of the entities and members of their immediate families, management personnel of the entity and members of their immediate families and other parties with which the entity may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the decision making of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests, or affiliates of the entity.

Recognition of revenue

Recognition of revenue

Rental revenue includes fixed minimum rents, reimbursement of operating costs and other leasing income. Rental revenue for residential property, which is generally leased for twelve months or less, is recorded when due from residents, whereas rental revenue for commercial properties, which is generally leased for more than twelve months, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.

Reimbursements of operating costs, as allowed under most of our commercial tenant leases, consist of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs, and are recognized as revenue in the period in which the recoverable expenses are incurred. We record these reimbursements on a “gross” basis, since we generally are the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers; we have discretion in selecting the supplier and have the credit risk with respect to paying the supplier.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for all past due rents and operating expense reimbursements considered to be uncollectible.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, for which cost approximates fair value. Restricted cash includes cash balances held in escrow by financial institutions under the terms of certain secured notes payable and certain unsecured bonds payable.

Concentration of credit risk

Concentration of credit risk

We maintain our cash balances at commercial banks and through investment companies, the deposits that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we maintained balances in excess of the insured amount.

Income taxes

Income taxes

We are a “C” corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we are included in the May Realty Holdings, Inc. ("MRHI") consolidated group for tax purposes. We have a tax sharing agreement that specifies the manner in which the group will share the consolidated tax liability and also how certain tax attributes are to be treated among members of the group.

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income

Net income and comprehensive income are the same for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Use of estimates

Use of estimates

In the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, it is 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 ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
