RULE 13E-3 TRANSACTION STATEMENT
Introduction
This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the Schedule 13E-3
Transaction Statement on Schedule 13e-3 (this "Transaction Statement")
previously filed on July 31, 2002, as amended, and is filed pursuant to Section
13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The original Schedule
13E-3 and Amendment No. 1 were filed in connection with a proposed business
combination that resulted from a court approved settlement (the "Settlement
Agreement") of a lawsuit styled Jack Olive, et. al. v. National Income Realty
Trust, et al, Case No. C89 4331 MHP pending in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of California (the "Olive Litigation"). The claims in
the Olive Litigation related to the operation and management of Transcontinental
Realty Investors, Inc. ("TCI") and Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc.
("IOT"). Defendants in the lawsuit included, among others, American Realty
Trust, Inc. (a subsidiary of American Realty Investors, Inc. ("ARL")), TCI, IOT,
Basic Capital Management, Inc. ("BCM") and Gene E. Phillips ("Mr. Phillips").
BCM is a contractual advisor that is responsible for managing the affairs of
ARL, TCI and IOT and for advising the respective boards on setting the policies
which guide ARL, TCI and IOT.

Settlement Agreement, ARL, through its subsidiary, Transcontinental Realty
Acquisition Corporation ("TCI Acquisition Sub"), commenced a tender offer for
any or all of the TCI common stock on November 15, 2002 in order to cure a
default under the Settlement Agreement. This Amendment No. 4 to this Transaction
Statement sets forth disclosures related to that tender offer.

any and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of TCI for
$17.50 net per share in cash upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated November 15, 2002 (the "Offer to
Purchase"). The Offer to Purchase was filed as Exhibit (a)(1) to the Schedule TO
filed on November 15, 2002 by ARL and TCI Acquisition Sub, as amended by
