AMREIT AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2005

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

AmREIT is a fully integrated, self-managed and self-advised equity REIT based in Houston, Texas with a total market capitalization of $218 million, including all classes of our common shares of beneficial interest. We own and operate a portfolio of multi-tenant and single-tenant retail properties consisting of 60 properties in 17 states as of September 30, 2005, having an aggregate gross leaseable area of approximately 1.1 million square feet. Multi-tenant shopping centers represented 72.2% of annualized rental income for the properties we owned as of September 30, 2005. We also manage an additional 23 properties located in four states for our affiliated retail partnerships. Properties that we acquire are generally newly constructed or recently constructed at the time of acquisition. Our class A common shares are traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “AMY.” Total market capitalization has been determined by valuing our class A and B common shares at the September 30, 2005 closing market price of our class A common shares and valuing our class C and D common shares at their respective par values.

AmREIT directly owns a portfolio of grocery-anchored, strip center, lifestyle shopping centers and single-tenant retail properties leased to companies such as Kroger®, Walgreens®, GAP® and Starbucks®. We have focused geographically on the Sun Belt states with an emphasis on the Houston market and other large metropolitan markets in Texas such as Dallas and San Antonio. We focus on acquiring and selectively developing multi-tenant shopping centers anchored by major retailers. Many of our properties are located on what we call “Irreplaceable Corners™” which we define as premier retail frontage locations in high-traffic, highly populated, affluent areas with high barriers to entry. Our single tenant properties are located throughout the United States and are generally leased to corporate tenants where the lease is the direct obligation of the parent company, not just the local operator, and in most other cases, our leases are guaranteed by the parent company. The dependability of the lease payments is therefore based on the strength and viability of the entire company, not just the leased location.

Our business structure consists of our portfolio of retail properties as well as three additional businesses: (1) a full service real estate operating and development business; (2) a retail partnership business; and (3) a registered wholesaling securities business. Through our real estate operating and development business, we provide construction and development, property management, asset acquisition and disposition, brokerage and leasing, tenant representation, sale/leaseback and joint venture management services. Our retail partnerships were formed to develop, own, manage and add value to retail properties with a focus on shorter term value creation and a limited investment period. Each of these partnerships owns multiple properties, and we act as the partnerships’ general partner while our real estate operating company acts as property manager. Through our retail partnerships, AmREIT captures recurring development, leasing, property management and asset management fees for services performed while maintaining a residual interest after a preferred return is paid to limited partners. Our registered wholesaling securities business sells interests in our affiliated retail partnerships and non-traded AmREIT shares through a wholesale effort using a national network of unaffiliated, third-party financial advisors in the independent financial planning community.

We finance our growth with a combination of equity and debt. Our wholesaling securities business gives us access to capital through the independent financial planning marketplace. Our class C common share

offering became fully subscribed in the second quarter of 2004, and we closed our class D common share offering during the third quarter of 2005 after having raised a total of $109 million through this offering. Our class C and class D common shares are not publicly traded and were offered exclusively through the independent financial planning community. Additionally, during the year the company accessed the publicly underwritten markets and raised approximately $22 million from the sale of 2,760,000 of our class A common shares. Our bylaws limit our recourse debt to 55% of gross asset value, as defined in our bylaws. Our strategies and our structure, as discussed herein, are reviewed by our board on a regular basis and may be modified or changed without a vote of our shareholders.

Our initial predecessor, American Asset Advisers Trust, Inc. was formed as a Maryland Corporation in 1993. In June of 1998, we merged our external adviser into American Asset Advisers Trust, Inc. On July 23, 2002, American Asset Advisers Trust, Inc. completed a merger with three of its affiliated partnerships, AAA Net Realty Fund IX, Ltd., AAA Net Realty Fund X, Ltd., and AAA Net Realty Fund XI, Ltd. and simultaneously listed our class A common shares on the American Stock Exchange. With the merger of the affiliated partnerships, AmREIT increased its real estate assets by approximately $24.3 million and issued approximately 2.6 million class B common shares to the limited partners in the affiliated partnerships. Approximately $760 thousand in eight year, interest only, subordinated notes were issued to limited partners of the affiliated partnerships who dissented against the merger. The acquired properties are unencumbered, single tenant, free standing properties on lease to national and regional tenants, where the lease is the direct obligation of the parent company. A deferred merger expense resulted from the shares payable to H. Kerr Taylor, our President and Chief Executive Officer, as a result of the merger, which shares represented a portion of consideration payable to Mr. Taylor as a result of the sale of his advisory company to AmREIT. Through December 31, 2004, Mr. Taylor received 900 thousand class A common shares, which fulfills the shares that he is owed under the agreement, and no further shares will be issued under this arrangement. In December 2002, we reorganized as a Texas real estate investment trust under the name AmREIT.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our financial records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred. The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly or majority owned subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. Investments in joint ventures and partnerships where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not exercise financial and operating control, are accounted for using the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

We lease space to tenants under agreements with varying terms. The majority of the leases are accounted for as operating leases with revenue being recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the individual leases. Accrued rents are included in tenant receivables. Revenue from tenant reimbursements of taxes, maintenance expenses and insurance is recognized in the period the related expense is recorded. Additionally, certain of the lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on tenants’ sales volumes (contingent or percentage rent). Percentage rents are recognized when the tenants

achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements. The terms of certain leases require that the building/improvement portion of the lease be accounted for under the direct financing method. Such method requires that a portion of such cash flows be recognized as earned income over the life of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return.

We have been engaged to provide various services, including development, construction, construction management, property management, leasing and brokerage. The fees for these services are recognized as services are provided and are generally calculated as a percentage of revenues earned or to be earned or of property cost, as appropriate. Revenues from fixed-price construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the physical completion of the structure. Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned, measured by the cost-to-cost method. Construction management contracts are recognized only to the extent of the fee revenue.

Construction contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and any indirect costs related to contract performance. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from any contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Any profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to any claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.

Securities commission income is recognized as shares or units and are sold through AmREIT Securities Company. Securities commission income is earned as the services are performed and pursuant to the corresponding prospectus or private offering memorandum. Generally, it includes a selling commission of between 6.5% and 7.5%, a dealer manager fee of between 2.5% and 3.25% and offering and organizational costs of 1.0% to 1.50%. The selling commission is then paid out to the unaffiliated selling broker dealer and reflected as securities commission expense.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

Development Properties – Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost. Expenditures related to the development of real estate are carried at cost which includes capitalized carrying charges, acquisition costs and development costs. Carrying charges, primarily interest, real estate taxes and loan acquisition costs, and direct and indirect development costs related to buildings under construction are capitalized as part of construction in progress. The capitalization of such costs ceases at the earlier of one year from the date of completion of major construction or when the property, or any completed portion, becomes available for occupancy. We capitalize acquisition costs once the acquisition of the property becomes probable. Prior to that time, we expense these costs as acquisition expense.

Acquired Properties and Acquired Lease Intangibles – We account for real estate acquisitions pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (“SFAS 141”), Business Combinations. Accordingly, we allocate the purchase price of the acquired properties to land, building and improvements, identifiable intangible assets and to the acquired liabilities based on their respective fair values. Identifiable intangibles include amounts allocated to acquired out-of-market leases and to the value of in-place leases. We determine fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are

based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends and specific market and economic conditions that may affect the property. Factors considered by management in our analysis of determining the as-if-vacant property value include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, tenant demand and other economic conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related expenses. Intangibles related to out-of-market leases and in-place lease value are recorded as acquired lease intangibles and are amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue and amortization expense, as appropriate over the remaining terms of the underlying leases. Premiums or discounts on acquired out-of-market debt are amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of such debt.

Depreciation — Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of up to 50 years for buildings, up to 20 years for site improvements and over the term of lease for tenant improvements. Leasehold estate properties, where we own the building and improvements but not the related ground, are amortized over the life of the lease.

Properties Held for Sale — Properties are classified as held for sale if management has decided to market the property for immediate sale in its present condition with the belief that the sale will be completed within one year. Properties held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held for sale period. At September 30, 2005, we owned 12 properties with a combined carrying value of $18.1 million that are classified as real estate held for sale. At December 31, 2004, we owned nine properties with a combined carrying value of $6.3 million that were classified as real estate held for sale.

Our properties generally have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company. The operations and gains on sales reported in discontinued operations include those properties that have been sold or are held for sale and for which operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished. The operations of these properties have been eliminated from ongoing operations, and we will not have continuing involvement after disposition. Prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the operations of these properties as discontinued operations.

Impairment — Management reviews its properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. Management determines whether an impairment in value occurs by comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), including the residual value of the property, with the carrying value of the individual property. If impairment is indicated, a loss will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. With respect to a property held for sale, impairment is recorded to the extent of any excess of its carrying value over its estimated fair value less cost to sell.

TENANT RECEIVABLES

Included in tenant receivables are base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to recording rents on a straight-line basis. An allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable is determined based upon customer credit-worthiness (including expected recovery of our claim with respect to any tenants in bankruptcy), historical bad debt levels, and economic trends.

DEFERRED COSTS

Deferred costs include deferred leasing costs and deferred loan fees, net of amortization. Deferred loan fees are incurred in obtaining property financing and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the debt agreements. Deferred leasing costs consist of external commissions associated with leasing our properties and are amortized to expense over the lease term. Accumulated amortization related to deferred loan fees as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 totaled $275 thousand and $185 thousand, respectively. Accumulated amortization related to leasing costs as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 totaled $150 thousand and $108 thousand, respectively.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Our deferred compensation and long term incentive plan is designed to attract and retain the services of our trust managers and employees that we consider essential to our long-term growth and success. As such, it is designed to provide them with the opportunity to own shares, in the form of restricted shares, in us, and provide key employees the opportunity to participate in the success of our affiliated actively managed retail partnerships through the economic participation in our general partner companies. All long term compensation awards are designed to vest over a period of three to seven years, and promote retention of our team. We amortize the fair value, established at the date of grant, of the restricted shares ratably over the vesting period.

Deferred compensation includes share grants to employees as a form of long-term compensation. The share grants vest over a period of three to seven years. Additionally, we have assigned a portion, up to 45%, of the economic interest in certain of our retail limited partnerships to certain of our key employees. This economic interest is received, as, if and when we receive economic benefit from our profit participation, after certain preferred returns have been paid to the partnership’s limited partners. This assignment of economic interest generally vests over a period of five to seven years. This allows us to align the interest of our employees with the interest of our shareholders. Because the future profits and earnings from the retail limited partnerships cannot be reasonably predicted or estimated, and any employee benefit is completely contingent upon the benefit received by the general partner of the retail limited partnerships, we recognize expense associated with the assignment of economic interest in our retail limited partnerships as we recognize the corresponding income from the associated retail limited partnerships. No portion of the economic interest in the retail partnerships that have provided profit participation to us to date have been assigned to employees. Therefore, no compensation expense has been recorded to date.

We maintain a defined contribution 401k retirement plan for our employees. This plan is available for all employees, immediately upon employment. The plan allows for two open enrollment periods, June and December. The plan allows for contributions to be either invested in an array of large, mid and small cap mutual funds or directly into class A common shares. Employee contributions invested in our stock are limited to 50% of the employee’s contributions. We match 50% of the employees contribution, up to a maximum employee contribution of 4%. None of the employer contribution is matched in our stock.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and are, therefore, not subject to Federal income taxes to the extent of dividends paid, provided we meet all conditions specified by the Internal Revenue Code for retaining our REIT status, including the requirement that at least 90% of our REIT taxable income be distributed to our shareholders.

Our real estate operating and development business, AmREIT Realty Investment Corporation and subsidiaries (ARIC), is our group of fully integrated and wholly-owned subsidiaries comprised of real estate professionals that provide development, acquisition, brokerage, leasing, construction, construction management, asset management and property management services to our publicly traded portfolio and retail partnerships as well as to third parties. ARIC and our wholly-owned corporations that serve as the general partners of our retail partnerships are treated for Federal income tax purposes as taxable REIT subsidiaries (Taxable REIT Subsidiaries). Federal income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income (loss) available to class A common shareholders by the weighted average number of class A common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income (as adjusted as appropriate) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted average number of dilutive potential common shares. Diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share due to the anti-dilutive nature of the common class B, class C and class D common shares which, in the aggregate, represent 22.0 million and 10.6 million potential common shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively.

The following table presents information necessary to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter and six months ended September 30, as indicated:

		Quarter								Year to Date
		2005				2004				2005				2004
Loss to class A common shareholders (in thousands) *		($	635	)		($	48	)		($	1,220	)		($	2,234	)
Weighted average class A common shares outstanding (in thousands)			6,431				3,382				4,790				3,191
Basic and diluted loss per share *		($	0.10	)		($	0.01	)		($	0.25	)		($	0.70	)

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

In December 2003, the FASB reissued Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46R”), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as revised. FIN 46R addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights. FIN 46R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company that is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. Disclosures are also required about variable interest entities in which a company has a significant variable interest but that it is not required to consolidate.

We are an investor in and the primary beneficiary of two entities that qualify as variable interest entities pursuant to FIN 46R. These entities were established to develop, own, manage, and hold property for investment. These entities comprise $5.9 million of our total consolidated assets, and neither entity had debt outstanding as of September 30, 2005. We historically consolidated such entities under generally accepted accounting principles in effect prior to the issuance of FIN 46R; accordingly, our adoption of FIN 46R had no effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123R (“SFAS 123R”), Share-Based Payment that requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards. SFAS 123R becomes effective in 2006. We have historically not used stock options as a means of compensating our employees, and therefore we have no stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2005. Our strategy to date has been to compensate our employees through issuance of restricted shares of our class A common stock. We determine the fair value of such awards based on the fair value of the shares on the date of grant and then record that expense over the vesting period of the respective awards. The provisions of SFAS 123R will not change this accounting treatment for our restricted stock awards. Accordingly, we do not believe that our adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006 will impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF Issue No. 04-05 (“EITF 04-05”), Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. EITF 04-05 makes it more likely that general partners will be required to consolidate limited partnerships by making it more difficult for a general partner to overcome the presumption that it controls the limited partnership. Under this new guidance, the presumption of general partner control would be overcome only when the limited partners have either of two types of rights – the right to dissolve or liquidate the partnership or otherwise remove the general partner “without cause” or the right to effectively participate in significant decisions made in the ordinary course of the partnership’s business. These ‘kick-out rights’ and ‘participating rights’ must be substantive in order to overcome the presumption of general partner control. The guidance is effective for all newly-

formed limited partnerships and for existing limited partnership agreements that are modified. The guidance will be effective for existing limited partnership agreements that are not modified no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We believe that EITF 04-05 will not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations because we believe that the limited partners have substantive kick-out rights in each of the limited partnerships for which we serve as the general partner.

STOCK ISSUANCE COSTS

Issuance costs incurred in the raising of capital through the sale of common shares are treated as a reduction of shareholders’ equity.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and

cash equivalents consist of demand deposits at commercial banks and money market funds.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current period consolidated financial statements. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss) or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

3. INVESTMENTS IN RETAIL PARTNERSHIPS AND OTHER AFFILIATES

Retail Partnerships

As of September 30, 2005, AmREIT, indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries, owned interests in five limited partnerships, which are accounted for under the equity method since AmREIT exercises significant influence over the investee. In each of the partnerships, the limited partners have the right to remove and replace the general partner by a vote of the limited partners owning a majority of the outstanding units. These partnerships were formed to develop, own, manage, and hold property for investment. Following is a discussion of our ownership interests in each of these retail partnerships.

AmREIT Opportunity Fund (“AOF”) — AmREIT Opportunity Corporation (“AOC”), our wholly owned subsidiary, invested $250 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in AOF. We currently own a 10.5% limited partner interest in AOF. Liquidation of AOF commenced in July of 2002, and as of September 30, 2005, AOF has an interest in one property. As the general partner, AOC receives a promoted interest in cash flow and profits after certain preferred returns are achieved for its limited partners, which to date has resulted in payments of $812 thousand to the general partner for this promotional interest which were received and recognized in 2004.

AmREIT Income & Growth Fund, Ltd. (“AIG”) – A mREIT Income & Growth Corporation, our wholly owned subsidiary, invested $200 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in AIG. We currently own an approximately 2.0% limited partner interest in AIG.

AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Fund (“MIG”) — AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Corporation, our wholly owned subsidiary, invested $200 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in MIG. We currently own an approximately 1.4% limited partner interest in MIG.

AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Fund II (“MIG II”) — AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth II Corporation, our wholly owned subsidiary, invested $400 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in MIG II. We currently own an approximately 1.6% limited partner interest in MIG II.

AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Fund III (“MIG III”) — AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth III Corporation, our wholly owned subsidiary, invested $800 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in MIG III. MIG III began raising money in June 2005, and, as of September 30, 2005, had raised approximately $5.4 million. Our $800 thousand investment currently represents a 14.8% limited partner interest in MIG III. As additional limited partner units are sold in MIG III , we expect that our limited partnership interest will decline to between 0.8% and 1.6%.

The following table sets forth certain financial information for the AIG, MIG, MIG II and MIG III retail partnerships (AOF is not included as it is currently in liquidation):

		Capital

Other affiliate

Other than the retail partnerships, we have an investment in one entity that is accounted for under the equity method since we exercise significant influence over such investee. We invested $1.1 million in West Road Plaza, LP, and we have a 25% limited partner interest in the partnership. West Road Plaza, LP was formed in 2004 to acquire, redevelop, lease and manage West Road Plaza, a shopping center located on the north side of Houston, TX at the intersection of I-45 and West Road.

4. ACQUIRED LEASE INTANGIBLES

In accordance with SFAS 141, we have identified and recorded the value of intangibles at the property

acquisition date. Such intangibles include the value of in-place leases and out-of-market leases. These assets are amortized over the leases’ remaining terms, which range from nine months to 20 years. The amortization of above-market leases is recorded as a reduction of rental income and the amortization of in-place leases is recorded to amortization expense.

In-place and above-market lease amounts and their respective accumulated amortization are as follows (in thousands):

		September 30, 2005								December 31, 2004
						Above-market				In-Place				Above-market
		In-Place leases				leases				leases				leases
Cost		$	17,776			$	2,112			$	10,858			$	328
Accumulated amortization			(1,884	)			(207	)			(538	)			(20	)
		$	15,892			$	1,905			$	10,320			$	308

Acquired lease intangible liabilities (below-market leases) are net of previously recognized rent of $438 thousand and $63 thousand at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively and are amortized over the leases’ remaining terms, which range from 10 months to 16 years. The amortization of below-market leases is recorded as an increase to rental income.

5. NOTES PAYABLE

     Our outstanding debt consists of the following (in thousands):

		September 30, 2005				December 31, 2004
Fixed rate mortage loans		$	115,202			$	67,190
Fixed rate unsecured loans			760				760
Total fixed rate loans			115,962				67,950
Variable-rate unsecured line of credit			—				38,014
Total Notes Payable		$	115,962			$	105,964

We have an unsecured credit facility (the Credit Facility) in place which is being used to provide funds for the acquisition of properties and working capital. The Credit Facility provides that the Company may borrow up to $41 million subject to the value of unencumbered assets. The Credit Facility contains covenants which, among other restrictions, require us to maintain a minimum net worth, a maximum leverage ratio, maximum tenant concentration ratios, specified interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios and allow the lender to approve all distributions. On September 30, 2005, we were in compliance with all financial covenants. The Credit Facility’s interest rate spread over LIBOR varies quarterly depending upon our debt to asset ratio and ranges from 1.40% to 2.35%. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the interest rate spread was 1.75%. As of September 30, 2005, there was no outstanding balance under the Credit Facility and we had approximately $39 million available to us, subject to the financial covenants and Lender approval on the use of the proceeds.

Subsequent to September 30, 2005, the Credit Facility matured and was renewed for a two year period under similar terms and conditions.

As of September 30, 2005, scheduled principal repayments on notes payable and the Credit Facility were as follows (in thousands):

		Scheduled Principal				Term-Loan
Scheduled Payments by Year		Payments				Maturities				Total Payments
2005		$	283			$	—			$	283
2006			1,184				—				1,184

2009			1,453				885				2,338
Beyond five years			30,059				64,887				94,946
Unamortized debt premiums			—				1,165				1,165
Total		$	35,615			$	80,347			$	115,962

6. CONCENTRATIONS

As of September 30, 2005, three properties individually accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated total assets – Uptown Park in Houston, Texas, MacArthur Park in Dallas, Texas and Plaza in the Park in Houston, Texas, which accounted for 22%, 13% and 10%, respectively of total assets. Consistent with our strategy of investing in areas that we know well, 22 of our properties are located in the Houston metropolitan area. These Houston properties represent 68% of our rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Houston is Texas’ largest city and the fourth largest city in the United States.

Following are the revenues generated by our top tenants for the three and nine month periods ended September 30 (in thousands):

		Quarter								Year to Date

7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND MINORITY INTEREST

Class A Common Shares — Our class A common shares are listed on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) and traded under the symbol “AMY.” As of September 30, 2005, there were 6,439,976 of our class A common shares outstanding, net of 29,722 shares held in treasury. During June 2005, we completed a

secondary offering of our class A common shares. We issued 2.76 million shares, including the underwriter’s 360,000 share overallotment, at $8.10 per share in such offering. The offering proceeds were used to fund the acquisition of the Uptown Park shopping center as further discussed below. Our payment of any future dividends to our class A common shareholders is dependent upon applicable legal and contractual restrictions, including the provisions of the class B and class C common shares, as well as our earnings and financial needs.

Class B Common Shares — The class B common shares are not listed on an exchange and there is currently no available trading market for the class B common shares. The class B common shares have voting rights, together with all classes of common shares, as one class of stock. The class B common shares were issued at $9.25 per share. They receive a fixed 8.0% cumulative and preferred annual dividend, paid in quarterly installments, and are convertible into the class A common shares on a one-for-one basis at any time, at the holder’s option. Beginning in July 2005, we have the right to call the shares and, at the holder’s option, either convert them on a one-for-one basis for class A shares or redeem them for $10.18 per share in cash plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. As of September 30, 2005, there were 2,158,229 of our class B common shares outstanding.

Class C Common Shares — The class C common shares are not listed on an exchange and there is currently no available trading market for the class C common shares. The class C common shares have voting rights, together with all classes of common shares, as one class of stock. The class C common shares were issued at $10.00 per share. They receive a fixed 7.0% preferred annual dividend, paid in monthly installments, and are convertible into the class A common shares after a 7-year lock out period based on 110% of invested capital, at the holder’s option. After three years and beginning in August 2006, subject to the issuance date of the respective shares, we have the right to force conversion of the shares into class A shares at the 10% conversion premium or to redeem the shares at a cash redemption price of $11.00 per share. As of September 30, 2005, there were 4,088,927 of our class C common shares outstanding.

Class D Common Shares — The class D common shares are not listed on an exchange and there is currently no available trading market for the class D common shares. The class D common shares have voting rights, together with all classes of common shares, as one class of stock. The class D common shares were issued at $10.00 per share. They receive a fixed 6.5% annual dividend, paid in monthly installments, subject to payment of dividends then payable to class B and class C common shares. The class D common shares are convertible into the class A common shares at a 7.7% premium on original capital after a 7-year lock out period, at the holder’s option. After one year and beginning in July 2005, subject to the issuance date of the respective shares, we have the right to force conversion of the shares into class A shares at the 7.7% conversion premium or to redeem the shares at a cash price of $10.00. In either case, the conversion premium will be pro rated based on the number of years the shares are outstanding. As of September 30, 2005, there were 10,954,827 of our class D common shares outstanding.

Minority Interest — Minority interest represents a third-party interest in entities that we consolidate as a result of our controlling financial interest in such investees.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

See Note 3 regarding investments in retail partnerships and other affiliates.

On July 23, 2002, we completed a merger with three of our affiliated partnerships, AAA Net Realty Fund IX,

Ltd., AAA Net Realty Fund X, Ltd., and AAA Net Realty Fund XI, Ltd. AmREIT accounted for this merger as a purchase, whereby the assets of the partnerships have been recorded at fair value. We increased our real estate assets by approximately $24.3 million and issued approximately 2.6 million class B common shares to the limited partners in the affiliated partnerships as a result of the merger. Approximately $760 thousand in 8 year, 5.47% interest only, subordinated notes were issued to limited partners of the affiliated partnerships who dissented to the merger. The acquired properties are unencumbered, single tenant, free standing properties on lease to national and regional tenants, where the lease is the direct obligation of the parent company. A deferred merger expense resulted from the shares payable to H. Kerr Taylor, our President and Chief Executive Officer, as a result of the merger, which shares represented a portion of consideration payable to Mr. Taylor as a result of the sale of his advisory company to us. Mr. Taylor earned shares during 2004 and 2003 as a result of our class C and class D common share offering, resulting in a non-cash charge to earnings of approximately $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. During 2004, Mr. Taylor received his final installment of shares, and, to date, he has received 900 thousand class A common shares pursuant to this agreement. No further shares will be issued to Mr. Taylor pursuant to this deferred consideration agreement.

We earn real estate fee income by providing property acquisition, leasing, property management and construction management services to our retail partnerships. We own 100% of the stock of the companies that serve as the general partner for five of the partnerships. Real estate fee income of $3.4 million and $1.3 million were paid by the partnerships to us for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively. Construction fees of $1.1 million and $0 were paid by the partnerships to us for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We earn asset management fees from the partnerships for providing accounting related services, investor relations, facilitating the deployment of capital, and other services provided in conjunction with operating the partnerships. Asset management fees of $367 thousand and $245 thousand were paid by the partnerships to us for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

As a sponsor of real estate investment opportunities to the NASD financial planning broker-dealer community, we maintain an indirect 1% general partner interest in the investment funds that we sponsor. The funds are typically structured such that the limited partners receive 99% of the available cash flow until 100% of their original invested capital has been returned and a preferred return has been met. Once this has happened, then the general partner begins sharing in the available cash flow at various promoted levels. We also may assign a portion of this general partner interest in these investment funds to our employees as long term, contingent compensation. We believe that such an arrangement will align the interest of management with that of our shareholders, while at the same time allowing for a competitive compensation structure in order to attract and retain key management positions without increasing the overhead burden.

9. REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we sold two single tenant non-core properties. The sale of the properties resulted in a net gain of $595 thousand. The cash proceeds from the sale of these properties were approximately $2.2 million. As a result of the sale, the operations of the properties, including the gain on sale, have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

On September 30, 2005, we acquired for cash The South Bank, a multi-tenant retail center located on the San Antonio Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas. The property is located at the corner of a major downtown intersection and is accessible from both the river and street levels. The Property consists of approximately 47 thousand square-feet, has a weighted average remaining lease term of 5.26 years and is 100 percent leased. Tenants on the Property include, among others, Hard Rock Café, Starbucks, Ben & Jerry’s, Harley-Davidson and The County Line.

On June 1, 2005, we acquired Uptown Park, a 169 thousand square foot multi-tenant shopping center located on approximately 16.85 acres of land. The property is located on the northwest corner of Loop 610 and Post Oak Boulevard in Houston, Texas in the heart of the Uptown Houston area. The property was developed in two phases — phase one consists of approximately 147 thousand square feet that was constructed in 1999, and construction was recently completed on phase two which consists of approximately 22 thousand square feet. The property was funded with cash and the placement of long-term fixed-rate debt. The cash portion of the purchase consideration was substantially funded by the net proceeds from the secondary offering of our class A common shares as discussed above. The debt has a term of 10 years and is payable interest-only to maturity at a fixed interest rate of 5.37% with the entire principal amount due in 2015.

During 2004, we invested $105.2 million through the acquisition of five multi-tenant properties. The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the results of their operations are included in the consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition.

On December 27, 2004, we acquired MacArthur Park, a Kroger (NYSE: KR) anchored shopping center consisting of 198,443 square feet located on approximately 23 acres. The property, which was acquired from Regency Centers, is located in Dallas, Texas at the northwest intersection of I-635 and MacArthur Boulevard in the heart of Las Colinas, an affluent residential and business community. The property is surrounded by companies such as Exxon Mobil, Citigroup and Sabre. The property was acquired for cash and the assumption of long-term fixed rate debt. The Kroger lease is for 20-years, containing approximately 63 thousand square feet, expiring in November 2020.

On July 21, 2004, we acquired Bakery Square, a 34,614 square-foot retail project including a free standing Walgreens and a shopping center anchored by Bank of America (NYSE:BOA). This is an infill property located just west of downtown Houston and includes other national tenants such as T-Mobile, Blockbuster Video and Boston Market. The property was acquired for cash and the assumption of long-term fixed rate debt. The weighted average remaining lease term for the shopping center’s leases is 4.4 years. The Walgreens lease covers 15,210 square feet and is non-cancelable until October 31, 2016, with Walgreens having the option to renew the lease every five years thereafter until the lease expires on October 31, 2056.

On July 1, 2004, we acquired Plaza in the Park, a 138,663 square-foot Kroger anchored shopping center located on approximately 14.3 acres. The property is located at the southwest corner of Buffalo Speedway and Westpark in Houston, Texas. Plaza in the Park’s Kroger has undergone a 13,120 square-foot expansion and is the largest Kroger grocery store in the state. The property was acquired for cash and the assumption of long-term fixed rate debt. The weighted average remaining lease term for the project’s leases is 9.2 years. The Kroger lease is for 20 years, containing approximately 71 thousand square feet, expiring in August 2017.

On July 1, 2004, we acquired Cinco Ranch, a 97,297 square-foot Kroger anchored shopping center located on approximately 12.8 acres. The property is located at the northeast corner of Mason Road and Westheimer Parkway in Katy, Texas. The property was acquired for cash and the assumption of long-term fixed rate debt. The weighted average remaining lease term for the project’s leases is 13.5 years. The Kroger lease is for 20 years, containing approximately 63 thousand square-feet, expiring in June 2023.

On June 15, 2004, we acquired Courtyard at Post Oak, consisting of a 4,013 square-foot, free standing building occupied by Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) and a 9,584 square-foot, multi-tenant shopping center occupied by Ninfa’s Restaurant and Dessert Gallery. The property is located at the northwest intersection of Post Oak and San Felipe in Houston, Texas which is the heart of the Uptown Houston area, the most significant retail corridor in the Greater Houston area. The property was acquired for cash. The weighted average remaining lease term for the project’s leases is 4.7 years.

10. COMMITMENTS

In March of 2004, we signed a new lease agreement for our office facilities which expires August 31, 2009. In addition, we lease various office equipment for daily activities. Rental expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $172 thousand and $109 thousand, respectively.

11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Our consolidated financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, tenant receivables, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities and notes payable. The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents, tenant receivables, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities are representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

As of September 30, 2005, the carrying value of our total debt obligations was $116.0 million. All of such obligations have fixed rate terms and have an estimated fair value of $119.1 million as of September 30, 2005. As of December 31, 2004, the carrying value of our total debt obligations was $106.0 million. As of December 31, 2004, approximately $38.0 million of our total debt obligations had market-based terms, including a variable interest rate, and the carrying value of such debt is therefore representative of its fair value. As of December 31, 2004, approximately $68.0 million of our total debt obligations had fixed rate terms and had an estimated fair value of $69.7 million.

12. SEGMENT REPORTING

The operating segments presented are the segments for which separate financial information is available, and revenue and operating performance is evaluated regularly by senior management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

We have historically evaluated the performance of our operating segments primarily on revenue. During 2005, we began evaluating our operating segments based on income from continuing operations. Accordingly, we began allocating certain overhead expenses to the individual business units to which those expenses relate. We have recorded reclassifications to the 2004 segment expenses to conform to the current period presentation.

The portfolio segment consists of our portfolio of single and multi-tenant shopping center projects. This segment consists of 60 properties located in 17 states. Expenses for this segment include depreciation, interest, minority interest, legal cost directly related to the portfolio of properties and the property level expenses. Our consolidated assets are substantially all in this segment. Additionally, substantially all of the increase in total assets during the year ended December 31, 2004 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 occurred within the portfolio segment. Our real estate operating and development business is a fully integrated and wholly-owned subsidiary comprised of brokers and real estate professionals that provide development, acquisition, brokerage, leasing, construction, asset and property management services to our publicly traded portfolio and retail partnerships as well as to third parties. The securities segment consists of an NASD registered wholesaling securities business that, through the internal securities group, raises capital from the independent financial planning marketplace. The retail partnerships sell limited partnership interests to retail investors, in which we indirectly invest as both the general partner and as a limited partner (see Note 3). These retail partnerships were formed to develop, own, manage, and add value to properties with an average holding period of two to four years.
