NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

As used herein, the terms “TCI”, “the Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” refer to Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc., a Nevada corporation. TCI is the successor to a California business trust which was organized on September 6, 1983, and commenced operations on January 31, 1984. Effective March 31, 2003, TCI’s financial results were consolidated in American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARL”) Form 10-K and related consolidated financial statements.

The Company is headquartered in Dallas, Texas and its common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NYSE: TCI”. Subsidiaries of ARL own approximately 82.7% of the Company’s common stock. TCI is a “C” corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and files an annual consolidated income tax return with ARL, whose common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NYSE: ARL”.

TCI owns approximately 83.3% of the common stock of Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (“IOT”). Effective July 17, 2009, IOT’s financial results were consolidated with those of ARL and TCI and their subsidiaries. Shares of IOT are traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “AMEX: IOT”.

TCI invests in real estate through direct ownership, leases and partnerships and it also invests in mortgage loans on real estate. Prior to April 30, 2011, Prime Income Asset Management, LLC (“Prime”) was the Company’s external Advisor and Cash Manager. Prime also served as an Advisor and Cash Manager to ARL and IOT. Effective April 30, 2011, Pillar Income Asset Management, Inc. (“Pillar”) became the Company’s external Advisor and Cash Manager under the same terms as the previous agreement with Prime. Pillar also serves as an Advisor and Cash Manager to ARL and IOT. Prior to December 31, 2010, Triad Realty Services, L.P. (“Triad”) managed the Company’s commercial properties and Regis Realty I, LLC (“Regis Realty”) provided brokerage services. Triad and Regis Realty are affiliates of Prime. Effective January 1, 2011, Regis Realty Prime, LLC (“Regis”), an affiliate of Prime, manages our commercial properties and provides brokerage services under the same terms as the previous agreements with Triad and Regis Realty for a term of five years. TCI engages third-party companies to lease and manage its apartment properties. We have no employees.

Properties

We own or had interests in a total property portfolio of 71 income producing properties as of June 30, 2011. The properties consisted of:

•

23 commercial buildings totaling 4.2 million leasable square feet, consisting of 15 office buildings, five industrial properties, and three retail properties;

•

48 apartment communities totaling 8,919 units; excluding apartments being developed; and

•

4,891 acres of developed and undeveloped land.

We are involved in the construction of three apartment complexes as of June 30, 2011. In addition, we invest in several tracts of land and are at various stages of predevelopment on many of these properties. We partner with several third-party developers to construct residential projects. The third-party developer typically takes a general partner and majority limited partner interest in the development partnership while we take a minority limited partner interest. We are required to fund the equity contributions. The third-party developer is responsible for obtaining financing, for hiring a general contractor and for the overall management and delivery of the project, and is compensated with a fee equal to a certain percentage of the construction costs.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring matters) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.

The year-end Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2010, was derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Certain 2010 financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation, including adjustments for discontinued operations.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries, generally all of which are wholly-owned, and all entities in which we have a controlling interest. Arrangements that are not controlled through voting or similar rights are accounted for as a Variable Interest Entity (VIE), in accordance with the provisions and guidance of ASC Topic 810 “Consolidation”, whereby we have determined that we are a primary beneficiary of the VIE and meet certain criteria of a sole general partner or managing member as identified in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 04-5, Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership when the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners have Certain Rights (“EITF 04-5”). VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders as a group lack adequate decision making ability, the obligation to absorb expected losses or residual returns of the entity, or have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests. The primary beneficiary generally is the entity that provides financial support and bears a majority of the financial risks, authorizes certain capital transactions, or makes operating decisions that materially affect the entity’s financial results. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consider qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: the amount and characteristics of our investment; the obligation or likelihood for us or other investors to provide financial support; our and the other investors’ ability to control or significantly influence key decisions for the VIE; and the similarity with and significance to the business activities of us and the other investors. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current future fair values and performance of real estate held by these VIEs and general market conditions.

For entities in which we have less than a controlling financial interest or entities where we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary, the entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, our share of the net earnings or losses of these entities is included in consolidated net income. Our investments in ARL and Garden Centura, L.P. are accounted for under the equity method.

During the second quarter of 2011, we evaluated the non-controlling equity interests and made certain reclassifications among equity accounts to correctly reflect non-controlling interest. In connection with that evaluation, we reclassified approximately $6.3 million of deferred gain to non-controlling interest related to the 2009 acquisition of the controlling interest in IOT, a consolidated entity. These amounts have been reclassified for all periods presented in the consolidated financial.

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 useful lives. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the properties (buildings and improvements – 10-40 years; furniture, fixtures and equipment – 5-10 years). The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of its real estate assets using the methodology prescribed in ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”. Factors considered by management in evaluating impairment of its existing real estate assets held for investment include significant declines in property operating profits, annually recurring property operating losses and other significant adverse changes in general market conditions that are considered permanent in nature. Under ASC Topic 360, a real estate asset held for investment is not considered impaired if the undiscounted, estimated future cash flows of an asset (both the annual estimated cash flow from future operations and the estimated cash flow from the theoretical sale of the asset) over its estimated holding period are in excess of the asset’s net book value at the balance sheet date. If any real estate asset held for investment is considered impaired, a loss is provided to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value.

Real estate held for sale

We periodically classify real estate assets as “held for sale”. An asset is classified as held for sale after the approval of our board of directors and after an active program to sell the asset has commenced. Upon the classification of a real estate asset as held for sale, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to the lower of its net book value or its estimated fair value, less costs

to sell the asset. Subsequent to the classification of assets as held for sale, no further depreciation expense is recorded. Real estate assets held for sale are stated separately on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon a decision to no longer market as an asset for sale, the asset is classified as an operating asset and depreciation expense is reinstated. The operating results of real estate assets held for sale and sold are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations. Income from discontinued operations includes the revenues and expenses, including depreciation and interest expense, associated with the assets. This classification of operating results as discontinued operations applies retroactively for all periods presented. Additionally, gains and losses on assets designated as held for sale are classified as part of discontinued operations.

Cost capitalization

Costs related to planning, developing, leasing and constructing a property are capitalized and classified as Real Estate in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We capitalize interest to qualifying assets under development based on average accumulated expenditures outstanding during the period. In capitalizing interest to qualifying assets, we first use the interest incurred on specific project debt, if any, and next use the weighted average interest rate of non-project specific debt. We capitalize interest, real estate taxes and certain operating expenses until building construction is substantially complete and the building is ready for its intended use, but no later than one year from the cessation of major construction activity.

We capitalize leasing costs which include commissions paid to outside brokers, legal costs incurred to negotiate and document a lease agreement and any internal costs that may be applicable. We allocate these costs to individual tenant leases and amortize them over the related lease term.

Fair value measurement

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 a transaction between market participants at the measurement date, 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.

Newly issued accounting pronouncements

We have considered all other newly issued accounting guidance that is applicable to our operations and the preparation of our consolidated statements, including that which we have not yet adopted. We do not believe that any such guidance will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

The properties that we have sold to a related party under common control and have deferred the recognition of the sale are treated as “subject to sales contract” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These properties were sold to a related party in order to help facilitate an appropriate debt or organizational restructure and may or may not be transferred back to the seller upon resolution. These properties have mortgages that are secured by the property and many have corporate guarantees. According to the loan documents, we are currently in default on these mortgages primarily due to lack of payment although we are actively involved in discussions with every lender in order to settle or cure the default situation. We have reviewed each asset and taken impairment to the extent we feel the value of the property was less than our current basis.

NOTE 3. NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE

A portion of our assets are invested in mortgage notes receivable, principally secured by real estate.

Management intends to service and hold for investment the mortgage notes in our portfolio. A majority of the notes receivable provide for principal to be paid at maturity.

During the ordinary course of business, we have related party transactions that include, but are not limited to rent income, interest income, interest expense, general and administrative costs, commissions, management fees, and property expenses. In addition, we have assets and liabilities that include related party amounts. The affiliated amounts included in assets and liabilities, and the affiliated revenues and expenses received/paid are shown on the face of the financial statements.

NOTE 7. OPERATING SEGMENTS

Our segments are based on our method of internal reporting which classifies our operations by property type. Our property types are grouped into commercial, apartments, land and other operating segments. Significant differences between and among the accounting policies of the operating segments as compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements principally involve the calculation and allocation of administrative expenses. We evaluate the performance of each of the operating segments and allocate resources to them based on their operating income and cash flow.

Items of income that are not reflected in the segments are interest, other income, gain on debt extinguishment, gain on condemnation award, equity in partnerships, and gains on sale of real estate. Expenses that are not reflected in the segments are provision for losses, advisory, net income and incentive fees, general and administrative, non-controlling interests and net loss from discontinued operations before gains on sale of real estate.

Presented below is our reportable segments’ operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, including segment assets and expenditures (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 8. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

We apply the provisions of ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”. ASC Topic 360 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lesser of (1) book value or (2) fair value less cost to sell. In addition, it requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions.

Discontinued operations relates to properties that were either sold or held for sale as of the period ended June 30, 2011. Included in discontinued operations are a total of four and 17 properties for 2011 and 2010, respectively. Properties sold in 2011 have been reclassified to discontinued operations for current and prior year reporting periods. In 2011, we sold four commercial properties (Alpenloan, Fenton Center, Teleport Blvd and Westgrove Air Plaza). In 2010, we sold 11 apartment complexes (Baywalk, Foxwood, Island Bay, Kingsland Ranch, Limestone Canyon, Limestone Ranch, Longfellow Arms, Marina Landing, Mason Park, Sendero Ridge and Tivoli), one commercial building (217 Rampart) and transferred our limited partnership interest in a consolidated entity that owned an apartment complex (Quail Oaks). The gain on sale of the properties is also included in discontinued operations for those years. The following table summarizes revenue and expense information for the properties sold and held for sale (dollars in thousands):

Net loss from discontinued operations	$	(9,967)	$	(2,137)	$	(6,315)	$	(1,478)

Our application of ASC Topic 360 results in the presentation of the net operating results of these qualifying properties sold or held for sale during 2010 as income from discontinued operations. This does not have an impact on net income available to common shareholders and only impacts the presentation of these properties within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND LIQUIDITY

Liquidity. Management believes that TCI will generate excess cash from property operations in 2011; such excess, however, will not be sufficient to discharge all of TCI’s obligations as they become due. Management intends to sell income producing assets, refinance real estate and obtain additional borrowings primarily secured by real estate to meet its liquidity requirements.

Partnership Buyouts. TCI is the limited partner in three partnerships that are currently constructing residential properties and two partnerships in which the residential properties are substantially complete. As permitted in the respective partnership agreements, TCI intends to purchase the interests of the general and any other limited partners in these partnerships subsequent to the completion of these projects. The amounts paid to buy out the non-affiliated partners are limited to development fees earned by the non-affiliated partners, and are set forth in the respective partnership agreements.

Other Litigation. The ownership of property and provision of services to the public as tenants entails an inherent risk of liability. Although the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various items of litigation incidental to and in the ordinary course of its business, in the opinion of Management, the outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.

NOTE 10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share (“EPS”) have been computed pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share”. The computation of basic EPS is calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders from continuing operations, adjusted for preferred dividends, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Shares issued during the period shall be weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. As of June 30, 2011, we have 10,000 shares of stock options outstanding, 5,000 of which will expire on January 12, 2012, and 5,000 of which will expire on January 1, 2015 if not exercised. These options are considered in the computation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of applying the “treasury stock” method is dilutive. We have 30,000 shares of Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. The stock has a liquidation preference of $100.00 per share. After September 30, 2006, the stock may be converted into common stock at 90% of the daily average closing price of the common stock for the prior five trading days. The effects of the Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are included in the dilutive earnings per share if applying the if-converted method is dilutive. As of June 30, 2011, the preferred stock and the stock options were anti-dilutive and thus not included in the EPS calculation.

NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to the period ending June 30, 2011, several properties that were sold to a related party and treated on the books as “subject to sales contract” have been transferred back to the lender for credit against the loan balance. Any impairment necessary related to the inability to recover our original investment has been recorded in 2010 and 2011 and the sales that were deferred will be recognized in July and August 2011 when ownership transferred to a third party.

On July 1, 2011, we sold 12.74 acres of land known as Centurion 12 land located in Fort Worth, Texas for a sales price of $1.1 million.

On July 5, 2011, a warehouse and 13.0 acres of land known as Eagle Crest located in Farmers Branch, Texas, which was sold to a related party and treated on the books as “subject to sales contract”, was transferred to the lender for credit against the loan balance. Any impairment necessary related to the inability to recover our original investment has been realized in 2011 and the sale that was deferred will be recognized in the third quarter, when ownership transferred to a third party.

On July 5, 2011, Three Hickory land located in Farmers Branch, Texas, which was sold to a related party and treated on the books as “subject to sales contract”, was transferred to the lender for credit against the loan balance. Any impairment necessary related to the inability to recover our original investment has been realized in 2011 and the sale that was deferred will be recognized in the third quarter, when ownership transferred to a third party.

On July 5, 2011, One Hickory Centre and Two Hickory Centre, office buildings located in Dallas, Texas, both of which were sold to a related party and treated on the books as “subject to sales contract”, were transferred to the lender for credit against the loan balance. Any impairment necessary related to the inability to recover our original investment has been realized in 2011 and the sale that was deferred will be recognized in the third quarter, when ownership transferred to a third party.

On July 5, 2011, Windmill Farms-Harlan land located in Kaufman County, Texas, which was sold to a related party and treated on the books as “subject to sales contract”, was transferred to the lender for credit against the loan balance. The sale that was deferred will be recognized in the third quarter, when ownership transferred to a third party.

On August 2, 2011, Centura land located in Dallas, Texas, which was sold to a related party and treated on the books as “subject to sales contract”, was transferred to the lender for credit against the loan balance. Any impairment necessary related to the inability to recover our original investment has been realized in 2011 and the sale that was deferred will be recognized in the third quarter, when ownership transferred to a third party.

On August 2, 2011, seven properties comprising approximately 2,713.68 acres of undeveloped land located in Irving, Farmers Branch and Forney, Texas, all of which were sold to a related party and treated on the books as “subject to sales contract”, were transferred to the lender for credit against the loan balance. Any impairment necessary related to the inability to recover our original investment has been realized in 2011 and we do not anticipate any additional gain or loss. The sale that was deferred will be recognized in the third quarter, when ownership transferred to a third party.

On August 2, 2011, Signature Athletic Club, an office building located in Dallas, Texas, which was sold to a related party and treated on the books as “subject to sales contract”, was transferred to the lender for credit against the loan balance. Any impairment necessary related to the inability to recover our original investment has been realized in 2011 and the sale that was deferred will be recognized in the third quarter, when ownership transferred to a third party.

On August 2, 2011, Parkway North, an office building located in Dallas, Texas, which was sold to a related party and treated on the books as “subject to sales contract”, was transferred to the lender for credit against the loan balance. Any impairment necessary related to the inability to recover our original investment has been realized in 2011 and the sale that was deferred will be recognized in the third quarter, when ownership transferred to a third party.

On August 2, 2011, Las Colinas Station land, a land parcel owned by TCI Woodmont Group XIII, LP, which the Company has a 75% limited partner interest in, was transferred to the lender for credit against the loan balance. This property was impaired in 2008 and 2009 and we do not anticipate any additional losses.

On August 5, 2011, we sold our 30% limited partner interest in a partnership that owned a 120-unit apartment complex known as Westwood apartments, located in Mary Ester, Florida for a sales price of $7.1 million.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, principally, but not only, under the captions “Business”, “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and on assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “might”, “plan”, “estimate”, “project”, “should”, “will”, “result” and similar expressions which do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors, that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We caution you that, while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

•

general risks affecting the real estate industry (including, without limitation, the inability to enter into or renew leases, dependence on tenants’ financial condition, and competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate);

•

risks associated with the availability and terms of construction and mortgage financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments;

•

demand for apartments and commercial properties in the Company’s markets and the effect on occupancy and rental rates;

•

the Company’s ability to obtain financing, enter into joint venture arrangements in relation to or self-fund the development or acquisition of properties;

•

risks associated with the timing and amount of property sales and the resulting gains/losses associated with such sales;

•

failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets or to integrate acquisitions successfully;

•

risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including, without limitation, construction delays, cost overruns, inability to obtain necessary permits and public opposition to such activities);

•

risks associated with downturns in the national and local economies, increases in interest rates, and volatility in the securities markets;

•

costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other similar laws and regulations;

•

potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination;

•

risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed; and

•

the other risk factors identified in this Form 10-Q, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors.”

The risks included here are not exhaustive. Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements, include among others, the factors listed and described at Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which investors should review. There have been no changes from the risk factors previously described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Other sections of this report may also include suggested factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time-to-time and it is not possible for management to predict all such matters: nor can we assess the impact of all such matters on

our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as prediction of actual results. Investors should also refer to our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for future periods and to other materials we may furnish to the public from time to time through Forms 8-K or otherwise as we file them with the SEC.

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. Our portfolio of income-producing properties includes residential apartment communities, 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. We acquire land primarily in urban in-fill locations or high-growth suburban markets. We are an active buyer and seller of real estate and during the six months ended June 30, 2011, we acquired $13.0 million of income producing properties and sold $155.8 million of land and income producing properties. As of June 30, 2011, we owned 8,919 units in 48 residential apartment communities and 23 commercial properties of approximately 4.2 million rentable square feet. In addition, we owned 4,891 acres of land held for development and have three apartment complexes currently in development.

We finance our acquisitions primarily through operating cash flow, proceeds from the sale of land and income-producing properties, and debt financing primarily in the form of property-specific first-lien mortgage loans from commercial banks and institutional lenders. We finance our development projects principally with short-term, variable interest rate construction loans that are converted to long-term, fixed rate amortizing mortgages when the development project is completed and occupancy has been stabilized. We will, from time to time, also enter into partnerships with various investors to acquire income-producing properties or land and to sell interests in certain of our wholly owned properties. When we sell assets, we may carry a portion of the sales price generally in the form of a short-term, interest bearing seller-financed note receivable. We generate operating revenues primarily by leasing apartment units to residents and leasing office, retail and industrial space to commercial tenants.

We have 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 our best interest.

Prior to April 30, 2011, Prime Income Asset Management, LLC (“Prime”) was the Company’s external Advisor and Cash Manager. Prime also served as an Advisor and Cash Manager to ARL and IOT. Effective April 30, 2011, Pillar Income Asset Management, Inc. (“Pillar”) became the Company’s external Advisor and Cash Manager under the same terms as the previous agreement with Prime. Pillar also serves as an Advisor and Cash Manager to ARL and IOT. Prior to December 31, 2010, Triad Realty Services, L.P. (“Triad”), managed the Company’s commercial properties and Regis Realty I, LLC (“Regis Realty”), provided brokerage services. Triad and Regis Realty are affiliates of Prime. Effective January 1, 2011, Regis Realty Prime, LLC (“Regis”), an affiliate of Prime, manages our commercial properties and provides brokerage services under the same terms as the previous agreements with Triad and Regis Realty, for a term of five years. We engage third-party companies to lease and manage our apartment properties.

Critical Accounting Policies

We present our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) completed its accounting guidance codification project. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became effective for our financial statements issued subsequent to June 30, 2009 and is the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. As of the effective date, we no longer refer to the authoritative guidance dictating our accounting methodologies under the previous accounting standards hierarchy. Instead, we refer to the ASC guidance as the sole source of authoritative literature.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts, our subsidiaries, generally all of which are wholly-owned, and all entities in which we have a controlling interest. Arrangements that are not controlled through voting or similar rights are accounted for as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), in accordance with the provisions and guidance of ASC Topic 810 “Consolidation”, whereby we have determined that we are a primary beneficiary of the VIE and meet certain criteria of a sole general partner or managing member as identified in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 04-5, Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership when the Investor is the Sole General Partner

and the Limited Partners have Certain Rights (“EITF 04-5”). VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders as a group lack adequate decision making ability, the obligation to absorb expected losses or residual returns of the entity, or have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests. The primary beneficiary generally is the entity that provides financial support and bears a majority of the financial risks, authorizes certain capital transactions, or makes operating decisions that materially affect the entity’s financial results. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

For entities in which we have less than a controlling financial interest or entities where we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary, the entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, our share of the net earnings or losses of these entities are included in consolidated net income. Our investments in ARL and Garden Centura, L.P. are accounted for under the equity method.

Real Estate

Upon acquisitions of real estate, we assess the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets, including land, buildings, tenant improvements, “above-market” and “below-market” leases, origination costs, acquired in-place leases, other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations”, and allocate the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including land at appraised value and buildings at replacement cost.

We assess and consider fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates, as well as available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. We also consider an allocation of purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquired in-place leases that may have a customer relationship intangible value, including (but not limited to) the nature and extent of the existing relationship with the tenants, the tenants’ credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. Based on our acquisitions to date, our allocation to customer relationship intangible assets has been immaterial.

We record acquired “above-market” and “below-market” leases at their fair values (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) equal to the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (2) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors to be considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, we consider leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.

Depreciation and Impairment

Real estate is stated at depreciated cost. The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to the development of properties are capitalized. Capitalized development costs include interest, property taxes, insurance, and other project costs incurred during the period of development.

Management reviews its long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates impairment in value. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of its assets is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. If such impairment is present, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of

the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods.

ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” requires that qualifying assets and liabilities and the results of operations that have been sold, or otherwise qualify as held for sale, be presented as discontinued operations in all periods presented if the property operations are expected to be eliminated and we will not have significant continuing involvement following the sale. The components of the property’s net income that is reflected as discontinued operations include the net gain (or loss) upon the disposition of the property held for sale, operating results, depreciation and interest expense (if the property is subject to a secured loan). We generally consider assets to be held for sale when the transaction has been approved by our Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, and there are no known significant contingencies relating to the sale, such that the property sale within one year is considered probable. Following the classification of a property as held for sale, no further depreciation is recorded on the assets.

A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. Our capitalization policy on development properties is guided by ASC Topic 835-20 “Interest – Capitalization of Interest” and ASC Topic 970 “Real Estate - General”. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. We cease capitalization when a building is considered substantially complete and ready for its intended use, but no later than one year from the cessation of major construction activity.

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

Except for ownership interests in variable interest entities, we account for our investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures under the equity method of accounting because we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. Any difference between the carrying amount of these investments on our balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized as an adjustment to equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate ventures over the life of the related asset. Under the equity method of accounting, our net equity is reflected within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and our share of net income or loss from the joint ventures is included within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The joint venture agreements may designate different percentage allocations among investors for profits and losses; however, our recognition of joint venture income or loss generally follows the joint venture’s distribution priorities, which may change upon the achievement of certain investment return thresholds. For ownership interests in variable interest entities, we consolidate those in which we are the primary beneficiary.

Recognition of Rental Income

Rental income for commercial property leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. In accordance with ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations”, we recognize rental revenue of acquired in-place “above-market” and “below-market” leases at their fair values over the terms of the respective leases. On our Consolidated Balance Sheets, we include as a receivable the excess of rental income recognized over rental payments actually received pursuant to the terms of the individual commercial lease agreements.

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, have discretion in selecting the supplier and have the credit risk with respect to paying the supplier.

Rental income for residential property leases is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as earned, which is not materially different than on a straight-line basis as lease terms are generally for periods of one year or less. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for all past due rents and operating expense reimbursements considered to be uncollectible.

Revenue Recognition on the Sale of Real Estate

Sales and the associated gains or losses of real estate are recognized in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360-20, “Property, Plant and Equipment – Real Estate Sale”. The specific timing of a sale is measured against various criteria in ASC 360-20 related to the terms of the transaction and any continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the properties. If the sales criteria for the full accrual method are not met, we defer some or all of the gain recognition and account for the continued operations of the property by applying the finance, leasing, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate, until the sales criteria are met.

Non-performing Notes Receivable

We consider a note receivable to be non-performing when the maturity date has passed without principal repayment and the borrower is not making interest payments in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Interest Recognition on Notes Receivable

For notes other than surplus cash notes, we record interest income as earned in accordance with the terms of the related loan agreements. On cash flow notes where payments are based upon surplus cash from operations, accrued but unpaid interest income is only recognized to the extent that cash is received.

Allowance for Estimated Losses

We assess the collectability of notes receivable on a periodic basis, of which the assessment consists primarily of an evaluation of cash flow projections of the borrower to determine whether estimated cash flows are sufficient to repay principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the note. We recognize impairments on notes receivable when it is probable that principal and interest will not be received in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. The amount of the impairment to be recognized generally is based on the fair value of the partnership’s real estate that represents the primary source of loan repayment. See Note 3 “Notes and Interest Receivable” for details on our notes receivable.

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 a transaction between market participants at the measurement date, 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.

Results of Operations

The discussion of our results of operations is based on management’s review of operations, which is based on our segments. Our segments consist of apartments, commercial buildings, land and other. For discussion purposes, we break these segments down into the following sub-categories; same property portfolio, acquired properties, and developed properties in the lease-up phase. The same property portfolio consists of properties that were held by us for the entire period for both years being compared. The acquired property portfolio consists of properties that we acquired but have not been held for the entire period for both periods being compared. Developed properties in the lease-up phase consist of completed projects that are being leased up. As we complete each phase of the project, we lease up that phase and include those revenues in our continued operations.

Once a developed property becomes leased up and is held the entire period for both periods under comparison, it is considered to be included in the same property portfolio. Income producing properties that we have sold during the year are reclassified to discontinuing operations for all periods presented.

The following discussion is based on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 as included in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this report. The prior year’s property portfolios have been adjusted for subsequent sales. Continued operations relates to income producing properties that were held during those years as adjusted for sales in the subsequent years.

At June 30, 2011 and 2010, we owned or had interests in a portfolio of 71 and 82 income producing properties, respectively. For discussion purposes, we broke this out between continued operations and discontinued operations. The total property portfolio represents all income producing properties held as of June 30 for the period presented. Sales subsequent to quarter end represent properties that were held as of period end for the periods presented, but sold in the next quarter. Continuing operations represents all properties that have not been reclassified to discontinued operations as of June 30, 2011 for the periods presented. The table below shows the number of income producing properties held at the quarter ended:


	June 30,
	2011		2010
Continuing operations		66		67
Sales subsequent to period end		5		-
Discontinued operations		-		15

Total property portfolio		71		82

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2011 to the same period ended 2010

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we reported a net loss applicable to common shares of $41.1 million or $4.88 per diluted earnings per share, as compared to a net loss applicable to common shares of $20.7 million or $2.54 per diluted earnings per share for the same period ended 2010.

Revenues

Rental and other property revenues were $31.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This represents an increase of $1.2 million, as compared to the prior period revenues of $30.6 million. The change, by segment, is an increase in the commercial portfolio of $0.5 million and an increase in the apartment portfolio of $0.7 million. Within the apartment portfolio, the developed apartments had an increase of $0.3 million and the same properties had an increase of $0.4 million. Within the commercial portfolio, the same property portfolio increased by $0.5 million. This was due to a $2.6 million tenant lease buyout. As a whole the commercial portfolio decreased due to an increase in vacancy, which we attribute to the current state of the economy. We have directed our efforts to apartment development and put some additional land projects on hold until the economic conditions turn around. We are also continuing to market our properties aggressively to attract new tenants and strive for continuous improvement of our properties in order to maintain our existing tenants.

Expenses

Property operating expenses were $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This represents a decrease of $1.9 million, as compared to the prior period operating expenses of $18.1 million. This change, by segment, is a decrease in the commercial portfolio of $0.5 million, a decrease in the apartment portfolio of $0.6 million, and a decrease in the land and other portfolios of $0.7 million. Within the commercial portfolio, the same properties portfolio decreased by $0.5 million. Within the apartment portfolio the same properties decreased by $0.9 million and the developed properties increased by $0.3 million. The decreases in operating expenses were attributable to decreases in overall costs and additional repairs and maintenance, offset by an increase from developed properties in the lease-up phase.

General and administrative expenses were $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This represents an increase of $0.8 million, as compared to the prior period operating expenses of $1.8 million. This change is primarily due to an increase in professional services.

Mortgage and loan interest was $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This represents a decrease of $1.1 million, as compared to the prior period interest expense of $15.7 million. This change, by segment, is a decrease in the commercial portfolio of $0.9 million, a decrease in the apartment portfolio of $0.3 million, a decrease in the land portfolio of $0.5 million, offset by an increase in the other portfolio of $0.6 million. The decrease in the apartment portfolio is primarily due to loans that were refinanced in 2010 at a lower interest rate. The majority of the decrease in the commercial portfolio is due to a matured loan that is being negotiated.

Provision for impairment was $25.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Impairment was recorded as an additional loss of $4.4 million in the commercial properties we currently hold and $21.0 million in land parcels that we currently hold. The majority of the impairment losses were taken on the properties that are treated as “subject to sales contract” where, subsequent to sale to a related party under common control, negotiations have occurred for property ownership transfers to the lender and estimated current property values are lower than our current basis.

Other income (expense)

Gain on land sales increased for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the prior period. In the current period we sold 566.81 acres of land in 15 separate transactions for an aggregate sales price of $40.1 million and recorded a loss of $1.7 million. We also recognized a deferred gain of $3.0 million in the current period from a sale in prior years. In the prior period, we sold 23.56 acres of land in two separate transactions for an aggregate sales price of $17.6 million and recorded a loss of $5.6 million.

Included in discontinued operations are a total of four and 17 properties for 2011 and 2010, respectively. Properties sold in 2011 have been reclassified to discontinued operations for current and prior year reporting periods. In 2011, we sold four commercial properties (Alpenloan, Fenton Center, Teleport Blvd and Westgrove Air Plaza). In 2010, we sold 11 apartment complexes (Baywalk, Foxwood, Island Bay, Kingsland Ranch, Limestone Canyon, Limestone Ranch, Longfellow Arms, Marina Landing, Mason Park, Sendero Ridge and Tivoli), one commercial building (217 Rampart) and transferred our limited partnership interest in a consolidated entity that owned an apartment complex (Quail Oaks). The gain on sale of the properties is also included in discontinued operations for those years. The following table summarizes revenue and expense information for these properties sold and held for sale (dollars in thousands):


	For the Three Months Ended June 30,

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2011 to the same period ended 2010

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we reported a net loss applicable to common shares of $53.3 million or $6.40 per diluted earnings per share, as compared to a net loss applicable to common shares of $31.2 million or $3.84 per diluted earnings per share for the same period ended 2010.

Revenues

Rental and other property revenues were $61.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This represents a decrease of $0.1 million, as compared to the prior period revenues of $61.3 million. The change, by segment, is a decrease in the commercial portfolio of $1.8 million, a decrease in the land and other portfolios of $0.1 million, offset by an increase in the

apartment portfolio of $1.8 million. Within the apartment portfolio, the developed apartments had an increase of $0.5 million and the same properties had an increase of $1.3 million. Within the commercial portfolio, the same property portfolio decreased by $1.8 million due to an increase in vacancy, which we attribute to the current state of the economy. We have directed our efforts to apartment development and put some additional land projects on hold until the economic conditions turn around. We are also continuing to market our properties aggressively to attract new tenants and strive for continuous improvement of our properties in order to maintain our existing tenants.

Expenses

Property operating expenses were $32.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This represents a decrease of $2.6 million, as compared to the prior period operating expenses of $35.3 million. This change, by segment, is a decrease in the commercial portfolio of $0.7 million, a decrease in the apartment portfolio of $1.2 million, and a decrease in the land and other portfolios of $0.7 million. Within the commercial portfolio, the same properties portfolio decreased by $0.7 million. Within the apartment portfolio the same properties decreased by $1.6 million and the developed properties increased by $0.4 million. The decreases in operating expenses were attributable to decreases in overall costs and additional repairs and maintenance, offset by an increase from the developed properties in the lease-up phase.

Mortgage and loan interest was $28.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This represents a decrease of $2.4 million, as compared to the prior period interest expense of $30.4 million. This change, by segment is a decrease in the commercial portfolio of $1.6 million, a decrease in the apartment portfolio of $0.7 million and a decrease in the land portfolio of $0.2 million, offset by an increase in the other portfolio of $0.1 million. The decrease in the apartment portfolio is primarily due to loans that were refinanced in 2010 at a lower interest rate. The majority of the decrease in the commercial portfolio is due to a matured loan that is being negotiated.

General and administrative expenses were $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This represents an increase of $1.1 million, as compared to the prior period operating expenses of $3.6 million. The majority of this increase was attributable to professional fees.

Provision for impairment was $31.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Impairment was recorded as an additional loss of $5.2 million in the apartments we currently hold, $5.3 million in the commercial properties we currently hold, and $21.0 million in land parcels we currently hold. The majority of the impairment losses were taken on the properties that are treated as “subject to sales contract” where, subsequent to sale to a related party under common control, negotiations have occurred for property ownership transfers to the lender and estimated current property values are lower than our current basis.

Other income (expense)

Interest income was $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This represents a decrease of $0.6 million, as compared to the prior period interest income of $1.7 million. The majority of this decrease is due to the accrued interest recognition on the cash flow notes from Unified Housing Foundation, Inc. On cash flow notes where payments are based upon surplus cash from operations, accrued but unpaid interest income is only recognized to the extent that cash is received. Less cash was received in the current period as compared to the prior period.

Other income was $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This represents an increase of $0.7 million as compared to the prior year income of $.9 million. This increase was due to revenue received from a consulting agreement with EurEnergy Resources Poland Sp.zoo.o.

Gain on land sales increased for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the prior period. In the current period we sold 758.80 acres of land in 25 separate transactions for an aggregate sales price of $82.9 million and recorded a loss of $0.9 million. We also recognized a deferred gain of $3.0 million in the current period from a prior year’s sale. In the prior period, we sold 23.56 acres of land in two separate transactions for an aggregate sales price of $17.6 million and recorded a loss of $5.6 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal liquidity needs are:

•

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.

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;

•

collection of receivables from affiliated companies;

•

refinancing of existing debt; and

•

additional borrowing, including mortgage notes payable and lines of credit.

We draw on multiple financing sources to fund our long-term capital needs. We generally fund our development projects with construction loans. Management anticipates that our available cash from property operations may not be sufficient to meet all of our cash requirements. Management intends to selectively sell land and income producing assets, refinance or extend real estate debt and seek additional borrowing secured by real estate to meet its liquidity requirements. Although the past cannot predict the future, historically, management has been successful at extending a portion of our current maturity obligations and selling assets as necessary to meet current obligations.

Cash flow summary

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the statements of cash flows as presented in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flow (dollars in thousands):


	June 30,
	2011		2010		Variance
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(13,004)	$	(4,282)	$	(8,722)
Net cash provided by investing activities	$	108,795	$	28,962	$	79,833
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(99,983)	$	(25,982)	$	(74,001)

Our primary use of cash for operations is daily operating costs, general and administrative expenses, advisory fees and land holding costs. Our primary source of cash from operating activities is from rental income on properties. In addition, we have an affiliated account in which excess cash is transferred to or from. The majority of the overall decrease in cash used in operating activities is due to the repayment of affiliate payables in the current period.

Our cash from investing activities increased $79.8 million as compared to the prior period. The increase is primarily attributable to the sale of income producing properties and land in the current period offset by an increase in cash used for the construction and development of new properties than in the prior period. The majority of the proceeds from sales were used for payment on loans associated with those projects.

Our cash used in financing activities consists of payments on recurring debt obligations and maturing notes payable. There was an increase in cash used in financing activities due to payoff or assumption of debt related to the sales of income producing properties and land in the current period.

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.

Management is 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, earnings from short-term investments, the cost of new financings and the cost of variable interest rate debt will be affected.

Tax Matters

Financial statement income varies from taxable income principally due to the accounting for income and losses of investees, gains and losses from asset sales, depreciation on owned properties, amortization of discounts on notes receivable and payable and the difference in the allowance for estimated losses. TCI had a loss for federal income tax purposes after the use of net operating loss carryforwards in the first six months of 2011, and a loss in 2010 and 2009; therefore, it recorded no provision for income taxes.

At June 30, 2011, TCI had a net deferred tax asset of $85.0 million due to tax deductions available to it in future years. However, as management cannot determine that it is more likely than not that TCI will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, a 100% valuation allowance has been established.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on an evaluation by our management (with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In December 1989, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of a total of 687,000 shares of TCI’s Common Stock. In June 2000, the Board increased this authorization to 1,387,000 shares. On August 10, 2010, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the share repurchase program for up to an additional 250,000 shares of common stock which results in a total authorization under the repurchase program for up to 1,637,000 shares of our common stock. This repurchase program has no termination date. The following table represents shares repurchased on a monthly basis during the second quarter of 2011:
