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”. We are owned approximately 78 % by American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARL”), whose common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “ARL”, and 7 % by the controlling shareholder 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 for the purpose of raising funds by issuing non-convertible bonds that were listed on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE").
At March 31, 2023, our portfolio of properties consisted of:
● Four office buildings comprising in aggregate of approximately 1,056,793 square feet;
● Fourteen multifamily properties, owned directly by us, comprising of 2,328 units; and
● Approximately 1,858 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 and 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. 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).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 (“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 consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

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 and (ii) the acquisition, ownership and management of commercial properties. The services for our multifamily segment include rental of apartments 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 reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

6. Lease Revenue
We lease our multifamily properties and commercial properties under agreements that are classified as operating leases. Our multifamily property leases generally include minimum rents and charges for ancillary services. Our commercial property leases generally included minimum rents and recoveries for property taxes and common area maintenance. Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.
The following table summarizes the components of our rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

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 of multifamily properties owned by us in exchange for a 50 % voting interest / 49 % profit participation interest ("Class A interest") in VAA and a note payable (“Mezzanine Loan”). Concurrent with the Contribution, VAA issued Class B interests with a 2 % profits participation interest and no voting rights to the manager of VAA (“Class B Member”).
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 . In accordance with the joint venture operating agreement, the Earn Out Obligation was paid from our share of distributions from VAA in 2022.
On September 16, 2022, VAA sold 45 of its properties (“VAA Sale Portfolio”) for $1,810,700 , resulting in 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 remaining seven properties of VAA (“VAA Holdback Portfolio”) (See Note 11 - Acquisitions) and a cash payment of $204,036 . We are in the process of negotiating the assumption of the mortgage notes payable on the VAA Holdback Portfolio with the lenders.
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 plan to use our share of the proceeds from the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio to invest in additional income-producing 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. The acquisition was completed in order to obtain 100 % ownership and control over this well positioned portfolio of multifamily residential properties in southern United States.
The VAA Holdback Portfolio consisted of the following properties:

(1) On November 1, 2022, we assumed the mortgage note payable from our joint venture in connection with the acquisition of the underlying property (See Note 11 - Acquisitions) and are in the process of obtaining lender approval of the assumption.
(2) On February 28, 2023, we extended the maturity of the loan to February 28, 2024 and an interest rate of 7.75 %.
Interest payable at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $2,155 and $2,004 , respectively. We capitalized interest of $642 and $803 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
On March 15, 2023, we entered into a $33,000 interest only loan to finance the development of Lake Wales (See Note 7 - Real Estate Activity) that bares interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 3 % and matures on March 15, 2026, with two one-year extension options.
As of March 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.
All of the above mortgages and other notes payable are collateralized by the underlying property. In addition, we have guaranteed the loans on Athens, Forest Grove, Lake Wales and Villas at Bon Secour.

13. Bonds Payable
We have issued nonconvertible bonds ("Bonds") through SPC, which were traded on the TASE. The Bonds are denominated in New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") and provide for semiannual principal and interest payments through maturity.

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 an affiliate of May Realty Holdings, Inc., which also owns approximately 90.8 % of ARL. Pillar is compensated for advisory services in accordance with an 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 $268 and $256 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for office space leased to Pillar and Regis.

Notes receivable include amounts held by UHF (See Note 9 – Notes Receivable). UHF is deemed to be a related party due to our significant investment in the performance of the collateral secured by the notes receivable. In addition, we have receivables from Pillar and other related parties. Interest income on these notes and related party receivables was $6,081 and $3,963 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Interest expense on payable to Pillar was $944 and $418 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Related party receivables, net represents the net amounts outstanding from Pillar for loans and advances, net of unreimbursed fees, expenses and costs as provided above.
15. Noncontrolling Interests
16. Deferred Income
In previous years, we sold properties to related parties at a gain, and therefore the sales criteria for the full accrual method was not met, and as such, we deferred the gain recognition and accounted for the sales by applying the finance, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate. The gain on these transactions is deferred until the properties are sold to a non-related third party.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had deferred gain of $581
17. Income Taxes
We are part of a tax sharing and compensating agreement with respect to federal income taxes with ARL. 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%.

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 includes residential apartment communities ("multifamily properties"), office buildings and retail properties ("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 Income Asset Management, Inc. (“Pillar”) in accordance with an Advisory 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 have no employees. Employees of Pillar 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 American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARL”), who is our controlling shareholder.
The following is a summary of our recent acquisition, disposition, financing and development activities:
Acquisitions and Dispositions
•On January 14, 2022, we sold Toulon, a 240 unit multifamily property in Gautier, Mississippi for $26.8 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $9.4 million. We used the proceeds to pay off the $14.7 million mortgage note payable on the property and for general corporate purposes.
•On May 17, 2022, we sold Fruitland Park, a 6,722 square foot commercial building in Fruitland Park, Florida for $0.8 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $0.7 million. We used the proceeds for general corporate purposes.
•On September 16, 2022, we sold Sugar Mill Phase III, a 72 unit multifamily property in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for $11.8 million in connection with a sale of properties by VAA (See "Other Developments"), resulting in a gain on sale of $1.9 million. We used the proceeds to pay off the $9.6 million mortgage note payable on the property and for general corporate purposes.
•On November 1, 2022, we acquired seven multifamily properties from VAA (See "Other Developments") with a fair value of $219.5 million.
•During the year ended December 31, 2022, we sold a total of 26.9 acres of land from our holdings in Windmill Farms for $5.1 million in aggregate, resulting in gains on sale of $4.2 million. In addition, we sold 0.9 acres of land from our holdings in Mercer Crossing for $0.7 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $0.2 million.
Financing Activities
•On January 14, 2022, we paid off the $14.7 million loan on Toulon in connection with the sale of the underlying property (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions").
•On March 3, 2022, we extended our loan on Stanford Center to February 26, 2023.

•On May 4, 2023, we paid off our $14.1 million of Series A Bonds and $29.0 million of Series B Bonds.
21
Development Activities
On March 15, 2023, we entered into a development agreement with Pillar to build a 240 unit multifamily property in Lake Wales, Florida 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. The development agreement provides for a $1.6 million fee that will be paid over the construction period. As of March 31, 2023, we have incurred a total of $10.1 million in development costs.
In 2021, Landing Bayou, a 240 unit multifamily property in Houma, Louisiana suffered extensive damage from Hurricane Ida. As a result, the property required extensive renovation. As of March 31, 2023, we have incurred a total of $10.4 million in restoration costs, which has been substantially funded by insurance proceeds. We expect to complete the restoration and lease-up by the end of this year.
During 2023, we spent $0.7 million on our ongoing development of Windmill Farms. Our expenditure includes $0.3 million on the development of land lots for sale to single family home developers and $0.4 million on reimbursable infrastructure investments.
Other Developments
On September 16, 2022, VAA sold 45 properties (“VAA Sale Portfolio”) for $1.8 billion, resulting in gain on sale of $738.4 million to the joint venture. In connection with 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 of VAA (“VAA Holdback Portfolio”) and a cash payment of $204.0 million. We are in the process of negotiating the assumption of the mortgage notes payable on the VAA Holdback Portfolio with the lenders.
On March 23, 2023, we received $18.0 million distribution from VAA, which represented the remaining distribution of the proceeds from the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio.
We plan to use our share of the proceeds from the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio to invest in additional income-producing 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 in the Annual Report. 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 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.
22
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
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.
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 three months ended March 31, 2023 to the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Redevelopment Property is Landing Bayou. 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 three months ended March 31, 2023 to the three months ended March 31, 2022:
Our $10.9 million decrease in net income is primarily attributed to the following:
•The increase in profit from the multifamily segment is primarily due to an increase of $2.5 million from the Acquisition Properties, $0.2 million from the Redevelopment Property and $0.1 million from the Same Properties offset in part by a decrease of $0.6 million from the Disposition Properties.
•The decrease in profit from the commercial segment is primarily due to a decrease in occupancy at Stanford Center.
•The change in interest, net is due to a $4.0 million increase in interest income and a $1.0 million decrease in interest expense. The increase in interest income is due to an increase in interest from our convertible loans, an increase in interest rates and an increase in short term investments. The increase in short-term investments is due to the cash distributions received from VAA in 2022 (See "Other Developments" in Management's Overview). The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the repayment of the bonds payable and the repayment of mortgage notes payable on properties sold in 2022 (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview).
•The loss on early extinguishment of debt is due to the early pay off of the mortgage note payable on Toulon in connection with sale of the underlying property (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" and "Financing Activities" in Management's Overview).
•The decrease in gain on foreign currency transactions is due to a decrease in our bonds payable.
•The decrease in gain on sale or write down of assets is primarily due to the $9.4 million gain on the sale of Toulon in 2022 (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview) and the $2.0 million gain on sales of land parcels in 2022 (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview).
•The decrease in income from joint venture is primarily due to the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio and the distribution of the VAA Holdback Portfolio in 2022 (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" and "Other Developments" in Management's Overview).
24
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 notes receivable; 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 and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023, along with cash that will be generated from notes and interest receivables, will be sufficient to meet all of our cash requirements. We may 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.
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows in our consolidated financial statements, 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):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | Variance | |||||||||||||||
| Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | 1,533 | $ | (4,178) | $ | 5,711 | |||||||||||
| Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities | $ | (24,212) | $ | 5,646 | $ | (29,858) | |||||||||||
| Net cash used in financing activities | $ | (89,127) | $ | (38,769) | $ | (50,358) | |||||||||||
The increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to an increase in interest income and 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 increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily due the $28.5 million proceeds from the sale of real estate received in 2022 and the $20.2 million increase in net purchase of short term investments offset in part by the $18.0 million distribution from joint venture in 2023 (See "Other Developments" in Management's Overview).
The increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to the $50.9 million increase in payments of mortgages, notes and bonds payable. The increase in payments of mortgages, notes and bonds payable is primarily due to the $67.4 million payoff of the Series C Bonds in 2023, offset in part by the payoff of the $14.7 million mortgage note on Toulon in 2022 (See "Financing Activities" in Management's Overview).
Funds From Operations ("FFO")
We use FFO in addition to net income to report our operating and financial results and consider 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 transactions.
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
25
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 table reconciles net income attributable to the Company to FFO and FFO adjusted for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollars and shares in thousands):
