FFO is calculated as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable operating property, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and excluding results defined as "extraordinary items" under generally accepted accounting principles. FFO should not be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in accordance with general accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to meet cash needs. AmREIT's computation of FFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITS. FFO is not defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of AmREIT's performance, or of cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Please see the reconciliation of Net Income to FFO on page 15. (2) Based on the adherence to the NAREIT definition of FFO, we have not added back the $1.90 million charge to earnings in the third quarter of 2002 resulting from shares issued to Mr. Taylor as deferred merger cost stemming from the sale of his advisory company to AmREIT in June 1998. Adding this $1.90 million charge back to earnings would result in Adjusted FFO of $1.91 million. 11 AmREIT Selected Historical Consolidated Financial and Other Data (3) December 31, December 31, December 31, December 31, 2002 2001 2000 1999 (revised)(3) (revised)(3) (revised)(3) (revised)(3) Operating Data Revenues: Rental income and earned income from DFL ................$ 5,193,147 $ 3,009,330 $ 2,848,850 $ 3,373,374 Interest income ......................................... 4,206 10,555 31,630 199,448 Service fee, other income, and gain and loss on sale of property...................................... 2,691,260 2,650,113 793,268 754,059 ___________ ____________ ____________ ___________ Total revenues ...................... 7,888,613 5,669,998 3,673,748 4,326,881 Expenses: General operating, administrative, legal and professional ............................................ 4,134,134 2,956,061 1,688,799 1,290,433 Reimbursements and fees to realted party................. - - - - Interest ................................................ 1,774,973 1,063,574 1,339,622 1,134,919 Depreciation and amortization ........................... 611,084 413,583 403,181 444,072 Merger related acquisition costs ........................ - - - 262,495 Bad debts ............................................... - - - 189,490 Merger costs ............................................ - - - - Deferred merger costs.................................... 1,904,370 - - - Potential acquisition costs ............................. - - 153,236 743,001 __________ ____________ ____________ ___________ Total expense ....................... 8,424,561 4,433,218 3,584,838 4,064,410 Income (loss) before federal income taxes and minority interest in net income of consolidated joint ventures ......

The revision had no impact on the consolidated balance sheet data, statements of shareholders' equity or statements of cash flows. The revisions had no impact on net earnings or net earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998. 12 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following sentence updates and replaces the first sentence of the second paragraph under this caption on page 61 of the Prospectus. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2003 and the selected financial data appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. The following sentence updates and replaces the first sentence of the third paragraph under this caption on page 61 of the Prospectus. AmREIT, a Texas real estate investment trust, is listed on the American Stock Exchange (AMY), owns a portfolio of 50 properties, 27 tenants located in 20 states, and a sponsor of high quality real estate investment opportunities to the financial planning community. Liquidity and Capital Resources The following paragraphs update and replace the second, third and fourth paragraphs under this caption on pages 61-62 of the Prospectus. Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 to September 30, 2002: Net cash provided by operating activities increased $505 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2003 when compared with the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to the following: (1) a $2.05 million increase in proceeds from the sale of real estate acquired for resale, from $0 in 2002 to $2.05 million in 2003; (2) net income increased $2.03 million, from a $1.37 million loss in 2002 to net income of $659 thousand in 2003. The increase in net income is primarily due to a non-cash charge of $1.9 million, representing deferred merger costs that were incurred in 2002, therefore, the transaction has no net effect on the cash flow; (3) accounts payable increased by $297 thousand in 2003, compared to a $135 thousand increase in 2002. The above increases in cash are offset by the following: (1) accounts receivable increased by $88 thousand in 2003, compared to a $1.079 million decrease in 2002; (2) other assets decreased $200 thousand in 2003, compared to a $106 thousand increase in 2002. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $6.07 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a $6.75 million decrease in cash used for acquisitions of investment properties, from $8.22 million in 2002 to $1.47 million in 2003. This decrease in cash used is offset by a decrease in proceeds from the sale of investment properties of $1.1 million, from $1.1 million in 2002 to $0 in 2003. Net cash used in financing activities increased $6.31 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2002. The increase was primarily due to a $5.99 million decrease in proceeds from notes payable, from $7.89 million in 2002 to $1.9 million in 2003. This increase in cash is offset by a $3.15 million increase in payments of notes payable, from $1.44 million in 2002 to $4.59 million in 2003. 13 In August 2003 the Company began selling class C common shares. The offering is a $44 million offering, issued on a best efforts basis through the independent financial broker dealer community. The Company will primarily use the proceeds for the acquisition of new properties and pay down existing debt. At September 30, 2003, the Company had issued approximately 339 thousand shares, representing approximately $3.4 in proceeds from selling class C shares. Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 to September 30, 2002: Net cash used in operating activities increased $4.05 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the following: (1) investment in real estate acquired for sale increased $7.23 million, from $0 in 2002 to $7.23 million in 2003; (2) accounts receivable increased by $280 thousand in 2003, compared to a $1.72 million decrease in 2002. The above increases in cash used are offset by the following: (1) a $2.69 million increase in net income, from a loss of $926 thousand in 2002 to net income of $1.76 million in 2003. The increase in net income is primarily due to a non-cash charge of $1.9 million, representing deferred merger costs that were incurred in 2002, therefore, the transaction has no net effect on the cash flow; (2) an increase in proceeds from the sale of real estate acquired for resale of $3.95 million, from $0 in 2002 to $3.95 million in 2003; (3) a decrease in accounts payable of $6 thousand in 2003, compared to a decrease of $654 thousand in 2002. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $12.92 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in cash used was primarily due to a decrease in acquisitions of investment properties of $13.87 million, from $18.03 million in 2002 to $4.16 million in 2003. This decrease in cash used is offset by a $1.1 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of investment properties, from $1.1 million in 2002 to $0 in 2003. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $10.55 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to the following components: (1) a decrease in proceeds from notes payable of $6.22 million, from $17.38 million in 2002 to $11.16 in 2003; (2) an increase in payments of notes payable of $4.96 million; (3) an increase in common dividends paid of $1.26 million, from $1.01 million in 2002 to $2.27 million in 2003; (4) a decrease in contributions from minority interests of $621 thousand; (5) an increase in the purchase of treasury shares of $591 thousand. The above decreases in cash are offset by a $3.40 million increase in the issuance of common shares. The following paragraphs update and replace the eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth paragraphs under this caption on pages 63-64 of the Prospectus. In September 2003, the Company renewed its unsecured credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), which is being used to provide funds for the acquisition of properties and working capital. Under the Credit Facility, which has a term of one year, the Company may borrow up to $20 million subject to the value of unencumbered assets. The Credit Facility contains covenants which, among other restrictions, require the Company to maintain a minimum net worth, a maximum leverage ratio, specified interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios and allow the lender to approve all distributions. At September 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants. The Credit Facility's annual interest rate varies depending upon leverage, from LIBOR plus a spread of 1.4% to LIBOR plus 2.35%. As of September 30, 2003, the interest rate was LIBOR plus 2.0%. As of September 30, 2003, $15.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility. Thus the Company has approximately $5.0 million available under its line of credit, subject to lender approval on the use of the proceeds. 14 As of September 30, 2003, the Company owned 50 properties directly and, since its inception, had invested $79 million, exclusive of any minority interests, including certain acquisition expenses related to the Company's investment in these properties. These expenditures resulted in a corresponding decrease in the Company's liquidity. Until properties are acquired by the Company, cash is held in short-term, highly liquid investments that the Company believes to have appropriate safety of principal. This investment strategy has allowed, and continues to allow, high liquidity to facilitate the Company's use of these funds to acquire properties at such time as properties suitable for acquisition are located. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.348 million and $751 thousand respectively. The Company paid aggregate cash dividends to the holders of its class A, class B and class C common shares, for the three months ended of September 30, 2003 and 2002 of $765 thousand and $681 thousand, respectively. Funds From Operations The following sentences update and replace the third sentence of the first paragraph under this caption on page 64 of the Prospectus. Funds from operations (FFO) increased $2.013 million to $874 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from $(1.139) million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 FFO increased $2.871 million, from $(463) thousand in 2002 to $2.408 million in 2003. The following tables updates and replaces the second and fourth table on page 65 of the Prospectus, which reconciles net income to funds from operations and presents cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Below is the reconciliation of net income to funds from operations in thousands for the three and nine months ended September 30: Quarter Year to Date 2003 2002 2003 2002 ------------------------------------------------- ---- Net income (loss) $ 659 $ (1,370) $ 1,766 $ (926) Depreciation and amortization: Continuing operations 215 216 612 422 Discontinued operations - 15 30 41 Total funds from operations * $ 874 $ (1,139) $ 2,408 $ (463) ----------------------------------------------------- Cash distributions paid to class A, B and C shareholders $ 765 $ 681 $ 2,275 $ 1,012 FFO in excess of (less than) distributions* $ 109 $ (1,820) $ 133 $(1,475) * Based on adherence to the NAREIT definition of FFO, we did not add back the $1.904 million charge to earnings in the third quarter 2002 resulting from shares issued to Mr. Taylor, president of the Company. Adding this $1.904 million charge to earnings back to earnings would result in adjusted funds from 15 operations of $765 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and $1.441 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. Adding the charge to earnings would also result in dividends paid being less than adjusted FFO of $84 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and $429 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities for the three and nine months ended September 30 are presented below in thousands: Quarter Year to Date 2003 2002 2003 2002 -------------------------------------------------------- Operating activities $ 2,655 $ 2,150 $(1,435) $ 2,617 Investing activities $ (1,420) $(7,495) $(4,517) $(17,435) Financing activities $ (623) $ 5,683 $ 4,794 $ 15,342 Results of Operations The following paragraphs update and replace the first two paragraphs under this caption on page 66 of the Prospectus. Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 to September 30, 2002. During the three months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, the Company earned $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in rental income from operating leases and earned income from direct financing leases. Additional property purchases resulted in the increased income from rents and earned income from direct financing leases. Service fee income increased $219 thousand, from $726 thousand in 2002 to $945 thousand in 2003. The increase in service fee income was primarily due to an increase in commission income from an increase in equity raised in our real estate investment sponsorship activities. Gain on sale of real estate acquired for resale increased $275 thousand, from a loss of $37 thousand in 2002 to a $238 thousand gain in 2003. The gain recorded in 2003 is related to the sale of an IHOP property in Milwaukee, WI. During the three months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, the Company's expenses were $2.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The $1.2 million decrease in expenses is primarily attributable to a non-recurring charge in 2002 of $1.9 million, which was a deferred payment of merger related expenses. This decrease in expense was partially offset by the following increases: (1) an increase in general operating and administrative expense of $221 thousand, from $649 thousand in 2002 to $870 thousand in 2003, which was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense due to additional positions; and (2) an increase in legal and professional fees of $500 thousand, from $365 thousand in 2002 to $865 thousand in 2003, which was primarily due to an increase in commissions paid to third party security brokerage companies. Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 to September 30, 2002. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, the Company earned $5.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in rental income from operating leases and earned income from direct financing leases. Additional property purchases as well as the merged properties from the three affiliated partnerships resulted in the increased income from rents and earned income from direct financing leases. Service fee income increased 16 $539 thousand, from $1.466 million in 2002 to $2.004 million in 2003. The increase is primarily due to an increase in commission income, which is partially offset by a decrease in advisory fee income. Gain on sale of real estate acquired for resale increased $275 thousand, from a loss of $37 thousand in 2002 to a $238 gain in 2003. The gain recorded in 2003 is related to the sale of an IHOP property in Milwaukee, WI. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, the Company's expenses were $6.37 million and $6.13 million, respectively. The $234 thousand increase in expenses is primarily due to (1) an increase in legal and professional fees of $902 thousand, from $695 thousand in 2002 to $1.6 million in 2003. The increase in legal and professional fees is primarily attributable to increased commission expense paid to third party security brokerage companies; (2) an increase in interest expense of $560 thousand, from $1.2 million in 2002 to $1.7 million in 2003. The increase in interest expense is due to additional debt used to finance the acquisition of additional properties; (3) an increase in general operating and administrative expenses of $513 thousand, from $1.9 million in 2002 to $2.4 million in 2003, which is due to an increase in salary expense due to additional positions. These increases in expense are offset by a decrease in deferred merger costs of $1.9 million, which is attributable to the deferred payment of merger related expenses that was expensed in 2002. DESCRIPTION OF AMREIT'S CAPITAL SHARES General The following sentence updates and replaces the second sentence under this caption on page 83 of the Prospectus. As of November 30, 2003, AmREIT had outstanding 2,832,733 class A common shares, 2,364,770 class B common shares, 887,885 class C common shares and no preferred shares.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of results for the three month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. The condensed consolidated financial statements of AmREIT contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS AmREIT, formerly AmREIT, Inc. and previously American Asset Advisers Trust, Inc. (the "Company"), was organized in the state of Maryland in August 1993, is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") based in Houston , Texas, is listed on the American Stock Exchange (AMY) and re-organized in the state of Texas in December 2002. AmREIT is both an owner of net-leased properties and a sponsor of real estate direct participation programs to the financial planning community. For more than 18 years, the Company (and its predecessors) has established a track record of investing in commercial real estate leased primarily to parent companies of corporate tenants in the retail, financial services and banking, medical and restaurant sectors. AmREIT's real estate team focuses on development, management, brokerage and ownership of freestanding credit tenant leased ("CTL") and frontage shopping centers ("FSC") that are located contiguous to major thoroughfares and traffic generators. AmREIT's customer list includes national and regional tenants such as: Walgreens, Goodyear Tire, Washington Mutual, IHOP, McDonald's, Herman Hospital, Sprint, Radio Shack, Coldwell Banker, Guaranty Federal, Bennigan's, Chili's, Texas Children's Pediatric Associates, Discount Tire, etc. AmREIT owns a real estate portfolio that consists of 50 properties located in 20 states. Its properties include single-tenant, free standing credit tenant leased projects and multi-tenant frontage projects. The single tenant projects are located coast to coast and are primarily leased to corporate tenants where the lease is the direct obligation of the parent companies. As a result, the dependability of lease payments is based on the strength and viability of the entire company, not just that location. The multi-tenant projects are situated primarily throughout Texas. Supporting the real estate portfolio is an operating company subsidiary of AmREIT that provides a complete range of services including development, construction management, property management, brokerage and leasing. On July 23, 2002, the Company 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. With the merger of these 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 8 year, interest only, subordinated notes were issued to limited partners of the affiliated partnerships who exercised their dissenters' rights. 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 23 parent company. The following selected unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for AmREIT and subsidiaries gives effect to the merger with its three affiliated partnerships, which assumes that the merger occurred on January 1, 2002. Additionally, we have presented a summary of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the merger, July 23, 2002.

The offering is a $44 million offering, issued on a best efforts basis through the independent financial broker dealer community. The Company will primarily use the proceeds for the acquisition of new properties and to pay down existing debt. At September 30, 2003, the Company had issued approximately 339 thousand shares, representing approximately $3.4 in proceeds from selling class C shares. REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE Properties are classified as real estate held for sale if the properties were purchased with intent to hold the properties for less than a year or if the properties are listed for sale. At September 30, 2003, AmREIT owned five properties that are classified as real estate held for sale. The five properties have a combined carrying value of $8.85 million. Three of the properties have separate notes payable, which have a one year term and a combined balance of $3.46 million at September 30, 2003. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AmREIT and its wholly or majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. The Interpretation also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements. Certain of the disclosure modifications are required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, however, these disclosure modifications are not applicable to the Company as the Company does not have stock based compensation other than restricted stock grants. The Company has adopted SFAS 148 and the adoption of SFAS 148 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. The Interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interests in variable interest entities obtained after January 31, 2003. The implementation of the Interpretation has been delayed until periods ending after December 15, 2003. The Interpretation requires certain disclosures in financial statements issued after January 31, 2003 if it is reasonably possible that the Company will consolidate or disclose information about variable interest entities when the Interpretation becomes effective. The Company believes it has no variable interest entities which would require consolidation or disclosure. 25 In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 150 ("Statement 150") "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity". Statement 150 requires certain financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity to be classified as a liability on the balance sheet. Statement 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Statement 150 will be effected by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for contracts created before the issuance date and still existing at the beginning of that interim period. The adoption of Statement 150 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. RECLASSIFICATION Certain amounts in the interim unaudited 2002 and 2003 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the interim unaudited 2003 condensed consolidated financial statements. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or loss or shareholders' equity. 2. NOTES PAYABLE In September 2003, the Company renewed its unsecured credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), which is being used to provide funds for the acquisition of properties and working capital. Under the Credit Facility, which has a term of one year, the Company may borrow up to $20 million subject to the value of unencumbered assets. The Credit Facility contains covenants which, among other restrictions, require the Company to maintain a minimum net worth, a maximum leverage ratio, specified interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios and allow the lender to approve all distributions. At September 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. The Credit Facility's annual interest rate varies depending upon leverage, from LIBOR plus a spread of 1.40% to LIBOR plus 2.35%. As of September 30, 2003, the interest rate was LIBOR plus 2.0%. As of September 30, 2003, $15.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility. Thus the Company has approximately $5.0 million available under its line of credit, subject to Lender approval on the use of the proceeds. 3. MAJOR TENANTS As of September 30, 2003, there have been no significant changes in the tenant make-up from year end December 31, 2002. 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income available to class A 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) by the weighted average number of class A common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares. 26 The following table presents information necessary to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated: Quarter Year to Date 2003 2002 2003 2002 ---- ---- ---- ---- BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE Weighted average class A common shares outstanding 2,805,753 2,412,544 2,788,303 2,376,569 Basic earnings (loss) per share $ 0.072 $ (0.744) $ 0.150 $ (0.568) ========== =========== ========= ========== EARNINGS (LOSS) FOR BASIC COMPUTATION Net income (loss) available to class A common shareholders (basic earnings (loss) per share computation) $ 201,657 $(1,793,760) $ 416,971 $(1,350,156) ========= =========== ========= =========== Diluted earnings per share information is not disclosed due to the accretive nature of the common class B and class C shares. 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The operations of two properties listed as held for sale at September 30, 2003 were reported as discontinued operations. The following is a summary of our discontinued operations: Three Three Nine Nine Months Months Months Months Ended Ended Ended Ended 9/30/2003 9/30/2002 9/30/2003 9/30/2002 --------- --------- --------- --------- Rental revenue $82,540 $77,192 $247,618 $209,532 Depreciation and amortization - (15,226) (30,136) (40,589) Property expenses (7,009) - (11,565) - ________ _______ ________ ________ Income from discontinued operations $ 75,531 $61,966 $205,917 $168,943 Basic income from discontinued operations per common share $ 0.027 $ 0.026 $ 0.074 $ 0.071 6. COMMITMENTS In June 1998, the AmREIT shareholders approved the acquisition of an advisory company then owned by H. Kerr Taylor's, President and CEO of AmREIT. In conjunction with this acquisition, Mr. Taylor agreed to defer a portion of the consideration owed to him, which would be paid based on a specified formula if and when the Company raised additional equity to grow AmREIT's equity and assets. As of September 30, 2003, Mr. Taylor is eligible to receive an additional 384 thousand class A shares as the Company raises additional equity. Based on equity raised through the class C common share offering subsequent to September 30, 2003, and equity anticipated to be raised through December 31, 2003, Mr. Taylor will be issued between 150 thousand and 170 thousand of these additional class A shares, valued at market price on the date of issuance. Upon issuance of these shares, based on the terms of the deferred consideration agreement which expires June 2006, approximately 234 thousand to 214 thousand shares remain available to be issued to Mr. Taylor. As of September 30, 2003, AmREIT has contracted for approximately $22.4 million of single tenant and multi-tenant real estate projects that are anticipated to close during the fourth quarter 2003 and first quarter 2004. 27 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain information presented in this Form 10-QSB constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, the Company's actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such a difference include the following: changes in general economic conditions, changes in real estate market conditions, continued availability of proceeds from the Company's debt or equity capital, the ability of the Company to locate suitable tenants for its properties and the ability of tenants to make payments under their respective leases. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Historical results and trends which might appear should not be taken as indicative of future operations. The results of operations and financial condition of the Company, as reflected in the accompanying statements and related footnotes, are subject to management's evaluation and interpretation of business conditions, retailer performance, changing capital market conditions and other factors, which could affect the ongoing viability of the Company's tenants. Management believes the most critical accounting policies in this regard are the accounting for lease revenues (including the straight-line rent), the regular evaluation of whether the value of a real estate asset has been impaired and the allowance for doubtful accounts. Each of these issues requires management to make judgments that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical data and current market data, and analyzes these assumptions in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. GENERAL AmREIT, a Texas real estate investment trust, is listed on the American Stock Exchange (AMY), and is committed to providing our shareholders with an opportunity to earn dependable, monthly income through investing in high-quality commercial retail real estate. Our strategy is to acquire or develop high-quality properties that are leased to strong national or regional parent companies. Today, AmREIT owns a portfolio of 50 properties, leased to 27 different tenants located in 20 states. As our capital base continues to expand, we are forming additional relationships in the real estate community, identifying investment opportunities that fit our approach, and carrying out our pledge to our shareholders to deliver dependable monthly income. For 18 years we have established a track record of investing in commercial real estate leased primarily to corporate tenants in the retail, financial services and banking, medical and restaurant sectors. AmREIT's real estate team focuses on development, management, brokerage and ownership of freestanding credit tenant leased and frontage shopping center properties that are located contiguous to major thoroughfares and traffic generators. AmREIT's real estate customer list includes national and regional tenants such as: Walgreens, Goodyear Tire, Washington Mutual, IHOP, McDonald's, Herman Hospital, Radio Shack, Sprint, Coldwell Banker, Guaranty Federal, Bennigan's, Chili's, Texas Children's Pediatric Associates and Discount Tire. AmREIT, or an affiliate, has previously sponsored 14 investment funds through the NASD broker-dealer community. It is currently both a limited partner and general partner in three of these funds. Through this ownership, AmREIT receives commissions, fees and a carried interest in the profits and cash flows of these investment funds. Although this carried interest is not currently reflected in the balance sheet or statement of operations of AmREIT, it is anticipated to generate profits and cash flows to AmREIT as certain returns are met for the investors in these affiliated investment funds. 28 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash flow from operations has been the principal source of capital to fund the Company's ongoing operations. The Company's issuance of common shares and the use of the Company's credit facility have been the principal sources of capital required to fund its growth. In order to continue to expand and develop its portfolio of properties and other investments, the Company intends to finance future acquisitions and growth through the most advantageous sources of capital available to the Company at the time. Such capital sources may include proceeds from public or private offerings of the Company's debt or equity securities, secured or unsecured borrowings from banks or other lenders, a merger with certain affiliated partnerships or other unrelated companies, or the disposition of assets, as well as undistributed funds from operations. Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 to September 30, 2002: Net cash provided by operating activities increased $505 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2003 when compared with the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to the following: (1) a $2.05 million increase in proceeds from the sale of real estate acquired for resale, from $0 in 2002 to $2.05 million in 2003; (2) net income increased $2.03 million, from a $1.37 million loss in 2002 to net income of $659 thousand in 2003. The increase in net income is primarily due to a non-cash charge of $1.9 million, representing deferred merger costs that were incurred in 2002, therefore, the transaction has no net effect on the cash flow; (3) accounts payable increased by $297 thousand in 2003, compared to a $135 thousand increase in 2002. The above increases in cash are offset by the following: (1) accounts receivable increased by $88 thousand in 2003, compared to a $1.079 million decrease in 2002; (2) other assets decreased $200 thousand in 2003, compared to a $106 thousand increase in 2002. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $6.07 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a $6.75 million decrease in cash used for acquisitions of investment properties, from $8.22 million in 2002 to $1.47 million in 2003. This decrease in cash used is offset by a decrease in proceeds from the sale of investment properties of $1.1 million, from $1.1 million in 2002 to $0 in 2003. Net cash used in financing activities increased $6.31 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2002. The increase was primarily due to a $5.99 million decrease in proceeds from notes payable, from $7.89 million in 2002 to $1.9 million in 2003. This increase in cash is offset by a $3.15 million increase in payments of notes payable, from $1.44 million in 2002 to $4.59 million in 2003. In August 2003 the Company began selling class C common shares. The offering is a $44 million offering, issued on a best efforts basis through the independent financial broker dealer community. The Company will primarily use the proceeds for the acquisition of new properties and pay down existing debt. At September 30, 2003, the Company had issued approximately 339 thousand shares, representing approximately $3.4 million in proceeds from selling class C shares . Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 to September 30, 2002: Net cash used in operating activities increased $4.05 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in cash used in operating activities was 29 primarily due to the following: (1) investment in real estate acquired for sale increased $7.23 million, from $0 in 2002 to $7.23 million in 2003; (2) accounts receivable increased by $280 thousand in 2003, compared to a $1.72 million decrease in 2002. The above increases in cash used are offset by the following: (1) a $2.69 million increase in net income, from a loss of $926 thousand in 2002 to net income of $1.76 million in 2003. The increase in net income is primarily due to a non-cash charge of $1.9 million, representing deferred merger costs that were incurred in 2002, therefore, the transaction has no net effect on the cash flow; (2) an increase in proceeds from the sale of real estate acquired for resale of $3.95 million, from $0 in 2002 to $3.95 million in 2003; (3) a decrease in accounts payable of $6 thousand in 2003, compared to a decrease of $654 thousand in 2002. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $12.92 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in cash used was primarily due to a decrease in acquisitions of investment properties of $13.87 million, from $18.03 million in 2002 to $4.16 million in 2003. This decrease in cash used is offset by a $1.1 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of investment properties, from $1.1 million in 2002 to $0 in 2003. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $10.55 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to the following components: (1) a decrease in proceeds from notes payable of $6.22 million, from $17.38 million in 2002 to $11.16 in 2003; (2) an increase in payments of notes payable of $4.96 million; (3) an increase in common dividends paid of $1.26 million, from $1.01 million in 2002 to $2.27 million in 2003; (4) a decrease in contributions from minority interests of $621 thousand; (5) an increase in the purchase of treasury shares of $591 thousand. The above decreases in cash are offset by a $3.40 million increase in the issuance of common shares. Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities for the three and nine months ended September 30 are presented below in thousands: Quarter Year to date 2003 2002 2003 2002 Operating activities $ 2,655 $ 2,150 $(1,435) $ 2,617 Investing activities $(1,420) $(7,495) $(4,517) $(17,435) Financing activities $ (623) $ 5,683 $ 4,794 $ 15,342 On July 23, 2002, the Company completed a merger with three of its affiliated partnerships, which increased the Company's real estate assets by approximately $24.3 million. Pursuant to the merger, the Company issued approximately 2.6 million class B common shares to the limited partners in the Affiliated Partnerships. Approximately $760 thousand in 8 year, interest only, subordinated notes were issued to limited partners of the Affiliated Partnerships who exercised their dissenters rights. 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. The Company's leases typically provide that the tenant bears responsibility for substantially all property costs and expenses associated with ongoing maintenance and operation, including utilities, property taxes and insurance. In addition, the Company's leases generally provide that the tenant is responsible for roof and structural repairs. Some of the tenant's leases require the Company to be responsible for roof and structural repairs. In these instances, the Company normally requires warranties, and/or guarantees from the related vendors, suppliers and/or contractors, to mitigate the potential costs of repairs during the primary terms of the leases. Because many of the properties which are subject to leases that place these responsibilities on the Company are recently constructed, management anticipates that capital demands to meet obligations with respect to these properties will be minimal for the foreseeable future and can be met with funds from operations and working capital. The Company may be required to use bank borrowings or other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures. 30 In September 2003, the Company renewed its unsecured credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), which is being used to provide funds for the acquisition of properties and working capital. Under the Credit Facility, which has a term of one year, the Company may borrow up to $20 million subject to the value of unencumbered assets. The Credit Facility contains covenants which, among other restrictions, require the Company to maintain a minimum net worth, a maximum leverage ratio, specified interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios and allow the lender to approve all distributions. At September 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants. The Credit Facility's annual interest rate varies depending upon leverage, from LIBOR plus a spread of 1.4% to LIBOR plus 2.35%. As of September 30, 2003, the interest rate was LIBOR plus 2.0%. As of September 30, 2003, $15.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility. Thus the Company has approximately $5.0 million available under its line of credit, subject to lender approval on the use of the proceeds. As of September 30, 2003, the Company owned 50 properties directly and, since its inception, had invested $79 million, exclusive of any minority interests, including certain acquisition expenses related to the Company's investment in these properties. These expenditures resulted in a corresponding decrease in the Company's liquidity. Until properties are acquired by the Company, cash is held in short-term, highly liquid investments that the Company believes to have appropriate safety of principal. This investment strategy has allowed, and continues to allow, high liquidity to facilitate the Company's use of these funds to acquire properties at such time as properties suitable for acquisition are located. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.348 million and $751 thousand respectively. The Company paid aggregate cash dividends to the holders of its class A, class B and class C common shares, for the three months ended of September 30, 2003 and 2002 of $765 thousand and $681 thousand, respectively. INFLATION Inflation has had very little effect on income from operations. Management expects that increases in store sales volumes due to inflation as well as increases in the Consumer Price Index (C.P.I.), may contribute to capital appreciation of the Company properties. These factors, however, also may have an adverse impact on the operating margins of the tenants of the properties. FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS Funds from operations (FFO) increased $2.013 million to $874 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from $(1.139) million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 FFO increased $2.871 million, from $(463) thousand in 2002 to $2.408 million in 2003. Management considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of operating performance for an equity REIT. The Company has adopted the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) definition of FFO. FFO is calculated as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable operating property, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and excluding results defined as "extraordinary items" under generally accepted accounting principles. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our historic operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated statement of operations and data included elsewhere in this report. FFO should not be considered 31 an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to meet cash needs. The Company's computation of FFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO is not defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's performance. Below is the reconciliation of net income to funds from operations in thousands for the three and nine months ended September 30: Quarter Year to Date 2003 2002 2003 2002 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net income (loss) $ 659 $ (1,370) $ 1,766 $ (926) Depreciation and amortization: Continuing operations 215 216 612 422 Discontinued operations - 15 30 41 __________ ________ _______ _______ Total funds from operations * $ 874 $ (1,139) $ 2,408 $ (463) ========== ======== ======= ======= Cash distributions paid to class A, B and C shareholders $ 765 $ 681 $ 2,275 $ 1,012 FFO in excess of (less than) distributions* $ 109 $ (1,820) $ 133 $(1,475) * Based on adherence to the NAREIT definition of FFO, we did not add back the $1.904 million charge to earnings in the third quarter 2002 resulting from shares issued to Mr. Taylor, president of the Company. Adding this $1.904 million charge to earnings back to earnings would result in adjusted funds from operations of $765 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and $1.441 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. Adding the charge to earnings would also result in dividends paid being less than adjusted FFO of $84 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and $429 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 to September 30, 2002: During the three months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, the Company earned $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in rental income from operating leases and earned income from direct financing leases. Additional property purchases resulted in the increased income from rents and earned income from direct financing leases. Service fee income increased $219 thousand, from $726 thousand in 2002 to $945 thousand in 2003. The increase in service fee income was primarily due to an increase in commission income from an increase in equity raised in our real estate investment sponsorship activities. Gain on sale of real estate acquired for resale increased $275 thousand, from a loss of $37 thousand in 2002 to a $238 thousand gain in 2003. The gain recorded in 2003 is related to the sale of an IHOP property in Milwaukee, WI. During the three months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, the Company's expenses were $2.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The $1.2 million decrease in expenses is primarily attributable to a non-recurring charge in 2002 of $1.9 million, which was a deferred payment of merger related expenses. This decrease in expense was partially offset by the following increases: (1) an increase in general operating and administrative expense of $221 thousand, from $649 thousand in 2002 to $870 thousand in 2003, which was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense due to additional positions; and (2) an increase in legal and professional fees of $500 thousand, from $365 thousand in 2002 to $865 thousand in 2003, which was primarily due to an increase in commissions paid to third party security brokerage companies. 32 Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 to September 30, 2002: During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, the Company earned $5.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in rental income from operating leases and earned income from direct financing leases. Additional property purchases as well as the merged properties from the three affiliated partnerships resulted in the increased income from rents and earned income from direct financing leases. Service fee income increased $539 thousand, from $1.466 million in 2002 to $2.004 million in 2003. The increase is primarily due to an increase in commission income, which is partially offset by a decrease in advisory fee income. Gain on sale of real estate acquired for resale increased $275 thousand, from a loss of $37 thousand in 2002 to a $238 gain in 2003. The gain recorded in 2003 is related to the sale of an IHOP property in Milwaukee, WI. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, the Company's expenses were $6.37 million and $6.13 million, respectively. The $234 thousand increase in expenses is primarily due to (1) an increase in legal and professional fees of $902 thousand, from $695 thousand in 2002 to $1.6 million in 2003. The increase in legal and professional fees is primarily attributable to increased commission expense paid to third party security brokerage companies; (2) an increase in interest expense of $560 thousand, from $1.2 million in 2002 to $1.7 million in 2003. The increase in interest expense is due to additional debt used to finance the acquisition of additional properties; (3) an increase in general operating and administrative expenses of $513 thousand, from $1.9 million in 2002 to $2.4 million in 2003, which is due to an increase in salary expense due to additional positions. These increases in expense are offset by a decrease in deferred acquisition costs of $1.9 million, which is attributable to the deferred payment of merger related expenses that was expensed in 2002. Discontinued Operations The operations of two properties listed as held for sale at September 30, 2003 were reported as discontinued operations. The following is a summary of our discontinued operations: Three Three Nine Nine Months Months Months Months Ended Ended Ended Ended 9/30/2003 9/30/2002 9/30/2003 9/30/2002 --------- --------- --------- --------- Rental revenue $82,540 $77,192 $247,618 $209,532 Depreciation and amortization - (15,226) (30,136) (40,589) Property expenses (7,009) - (11,565) - _______ _______ ________ ________ Income from discontinued operations $75,531 $61,966 $205,917 $168,943 Basic income from discontinued operations per common share $ 0.027 $ 0.026 $ 0.074 $ 0.071 33 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001 AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AMREIT AND SUBSIDIARIES 34 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Trust Managers AmREIT: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of AmREIT and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2002.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS AmREIT, ("AmREIT" or the "Company") formally AmREIT, Inc., which was incorporated in the state of Maryland in August 1993, is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") based in Houston, Texas and is listed on the American Stock Exchange (AMY). AmREIT was organized in the state of Texas on December 22, 2002 and is a pre-eminent sponsor of real estate direct participation programs to the financial planning community. For more than 17 years, the Company has established a track record of investing in commercial real estate leased to parent companies in the retail, financial services and banking, medical and restaurant sectors. AmREIT's real estate team focuses on development, management, brokerage and ownership of freestanding credit tenant leased ("CTL") and frontage shopping centers ("FSC") that are located contiguous to major thoroughfares and traffic generators. AmREIT's customer list includes national and regional tenants such as: Walgreens, Goodyear Tire, Washington Mutual, IHOP, McDonald's, Herman Hospital, Radio Shack, Coldwell Banker, Guaranty Federal, Bennigan's, Chili's, Texas Children's Pediatric Associates, Discount Tire, etc. AmREIT owns a real estate portfolio that consists of over 46 properties located in 18 states. Its properties include single-tenant; free standing credit tenant leased projects and multi-tenant frontage projects. The single tenant projects are located from coast to coast and are primarily leased to corporate tenants where the lease is the direct obligation of the parent companies. In so doing, the dependability of the lease payments are based on the strength and viability of the entire company, not just that location. The multi-tenant projects are situated primarily throughout Texas. Supporting the real estate portfolio is an operating company subsidiary of AmREIT that provides a complete range of services including development, construction management, property management, brokerage and leasing. Through AmREIT's direct participation programs, it creates new investment entities that buy and develop commercial real estate with proceeds raised from third-party investors. AmREIT has extensive experience and long-term relationships in the commercial real estate market - the basis of its ability to sponsor real estate investment opportunities while creating fee income and carried interests for AmREIT and its shareholders. On July 23, 2002, the Company 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. 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 8 year, interest only, subordinated notes were issued to limited partners of the affiliated partnerships who dissented against the merger. The acquired 41 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. This merger transaction triggered a payment under the deferred consideration agreement between AmREIT and H. Kerr Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer. The deferred consideration agreement was approved by the shareholders in 1998 as part of the sale of Mr. Taylor's advisory company to AmREIT. In the agreement, Mr. Taylor would receive additional class A common shares, in exchange for the sale of his advisory company, as AmREIT issued additional capital. Mr. Taylor was issued approximately 302 thousand Class A common shares, which resulted in a deferred merger expense of $1.9 million in the third quarter 2002. Under the deferred consideration agreement, approximately 384 thousand shares remain to be issued to Mr. Taylor in the event the Company issues additional shares prior to June 4, 2004, the expiration date of the agreement. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the consolidated statements of operations have been restated from those originally reported for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 to reflect separately the results of discontinued operations for properties held for sale during the nine-months ended September 30, 2003. The restatement had no impact on the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statement of shareholders equity or statements of cash flows. The restatement had no impact on net (loss) income or net (loss) income per share for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, see Note 10. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AmREIT, and its wholly or majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial records of the Company are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred. 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. PROPERTY Property is leased to others, primarily on a net lease basis, whereby the operating expenses related to the properties, including property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance are the responsibility of the tenant. The leases are accounted for under the operating method or the direct financing method in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Under the operating lease method, the properties are recorded at cost. Rental income is 42 recognized ratably over the life of the lease and depreciation is charged based upon the estimated useful life of the property. Under the direct financing lease method, properties are recorded at their net investment. Unearned income is deferred and amortized to income over the life of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return. Expenditures related to the development of real estate are carried at cost plus capitalized carrying charges, acquisition costs and development costs. Carrying charges, primarily interest and loan acquisition costs, and direct and indirect development costs related to buildings under construction are capitalized as part of construction in progress. The Company capitalizes acquisition costs once the acquisition of the property becomes probable. Prior to that time, the Company expenses these costs as acquisition expense. 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 occurred by comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), including the residual value of the property, with the carrying cost 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. DEPRECIATION Buildings are depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 39 years. Leasehold estate properties, where the Company owns the building and improvements but not the related ground, therefore there is no residual value beyond the lease, are depreciated over the life of the lease. INVESTMENT IN NON-CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES AmREIT invested $250 thousand as a limited partner and $1,000 as a general partner in AmREIT Opportunity Fund, Ltd. ("AOF"), which is accounted for using the equity method. The limited partners have the right to remove and replace the general partner by a vote of the limited partners owning two-thirds of the outstanding units. AmREIT currently owns a 10.5% limited partner interest in AOF. AOF was formed to develop, own, manage, and hold for investment and, or resell property and to make or invest in loans for the development or construction of property. Liquidation of AOF commenced in July of 2002. Based on the general partner's analysis of owned real estate as of December 31, 2002, none of the assets owned or in liquidation by AOF are impaired. AmREIT invested $200 thousand as a limited partner and $1,000 as a general partner in AmREIT Income & Growth Fund, Ltd. ("AIG") that is accounted for using the equity method. 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. AmREIT currently owns an approximately 3.9% limited partner interest in AIG. AIG was formed to develop, own, manage, and hold for investment and, or resell property and to make or invest in loans for the development or construction of property. AmREIT invested $70 thousand as a limited partner in AmREIT CDP #27, LP that is accounted for using the equity method. AmREIT CDP #27, LP was formed to acquire 43 commercial real property and to develop, operate, lease, manage, and or sell real property. AmREIT CDP #27, LP purchased two IHOP properties in 2001 located in Memphis, Tennessee and Tupelo, Mississippi. The Memphis, Tennessee property was sold for a profit in the first quarter of 2002. ARIC invested $122 thousand as a limited partner in AmREIT CDP SPE #33, Ltd. that is accounted for using the equity method. AmREIT CDP SPE #33, Ltd. was formed to acquire commercial real property and to develop, operate, lease, manage, and or sell real property. In December 2001, AmREIT CDP #33, Ltd. purchased three IHOP leasehold estate properties located in Houston, Texas, Orem, Utah, and Hagerstown, Maryland. AmREIT invested $330 thousand as a member in AmREIT CDP #31, LLC ("CDP 31") that is accounted for using the equity method. CDP 31 was formed to acquire commercial real property and to develop, operate, lease, manage, and or sell real property. CDP 31 purchased two IHOP properties in 2001 located in Cookeville, Tennessee and Scottsdale, Arizona. Both properties were sold during the first quarter 2002, and CDP 31 does not own any real property as of December 31, 2002. OTHER ASSETS Other assets include loan acquisition costs, net of accumulated amortization, of $250 thousand. Loan acquisitions costs are incurred in obtaining property financing and are amortized to interest expense on the effective interest method over the term of the debt agreements. Accumulated amortization related to loan acquisition costs as of December 31, 2002 totaled $86 thousand. DEFERRED COMPENSATION Deferred compensation includes stock grants to employees as a form of long term compensation. The stock grants vest over a period of time not to exceed four years. This allows the Company to align the interest of its employees with the interest of our shareholders. As the stock grants vest, the Company will amortize the vested portion to compensation expense. The expense will be calculated by taking the number of shares vested multiplied by the market price per share as determined on the vesting dates. Effective January 1, 2003, AmREIT will adopt SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123". STOCK ISSUANCE COSTS Issuance costs incurred in the raising of capital through the sale of common stock are treated as a reduction of shareholders' equity. REVENUE RECOGNITION Properties are primarily leased on a net lease basis. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the individual leases. Service fees are recognized when earned. 44 FEDERAL INCOME TAXES AmREIT is qualified as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and is, therefore, not subject to Federal income taxes to the extent of dividends paid, provided it meets all conditions specified by the Internal Revenue Code for retaining its REIT status, including the requirement that at least 90% of its real estate investment trust taxable income is distributed by March 15 of the following year. AmREIT Realty Investment Corporation ("ARIC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of AmREIT, is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for Federal income tax purposes. As such, ARIC and its consolidated subsidiaries have recorded a Federal income tax expense at December 31, 2002 of $61 thousand, which represents the Federal income tax obligations on the consolidated taxable REIT subsidiary's taxable net income. Additionally, in 2002, a deferred tax liability of $28 thousand was established to record the taxes on certain real estate assets of ARIC. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income 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) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted average number of dilutive potential common shares. The following table presents information necessary to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated: For the Years Ended December 31, BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE 2002 2001 Weighted average common shares outstanding (in thousands) 2,470 2,355 Basic and diluted (loss)/earnings per share * $(0.62) $0.34 ------- ----- EARNINGS FOR BASIC AND DILUTED COMPUTATION (Loss) earnings to Class A common shareholders (in thousands) * $(1,524) $791 ====== ==== * For 2002, the loss of $1.524 million includes the charge taken against earnings during the third quarter of $1.9 million, which was the market value of the Class A common shares issued to H. Kerr Taylor, President & CEO, related to the sale of his advisory company to AmREIT in 1998. The charge was for the deferred merger cost due from this sale that was triggered by the issuance of additional common stock as part of the merger with AmREIT's affiliated partnerships during the third quarter of 2002. 45 USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's consolidated financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts and notes payable. The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company's total debt obligations are $33.6 million, of which $13.42 million has variable rate terms and therefore, the fair value is representative of its carry value. Approximately $20.18 million has fixed rate terms, of which approximately $15.5 million was entered into during 2002. Based on the dates that the debt obligations were entered into and the pricing on current debt obligations, the Company believes that the fair value of its fixed rate debt obligations is materially representative of its carry value. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS On June 29, 2001, SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" was approved by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Goodwill and certain intangible assets will remain on the balance sheet and not be amortized. On an annual basis, and when there is reason to suspect that their values have been diminished or impaired, these assets must be tested for impairment, and write-downs may be necessary. The Company implemented SFAS No. 141 on July 1, 2001. The adoption of this Statement had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. On June 29, 2001, SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets " was approved by the FASB. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will cease upon adoption of this statement. The Company implemented SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In June 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. On January 1, 2002, the company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 addresses accounting 46 and reporting for the impairment or disposal of a segment of a business. More specifically, this statement broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include a component of an entity whose operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished, opertionally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. The Interpretation also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements. Certain of the disclosure modifications are required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, however, these disclosure modifications are not applicable to the Company and adoption of SFAS 148 is not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. The Interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interests in variable interest entities obtained after January 31, 2003. The application of this Interpretation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. The Interpretation requires certain disclosures in financial statements issued after January 31, 2003 if it is reasonably possible that the Company will consolidate or disclose information about variable interest entities when the Interpretation becomes effective. Reclassification Certain amounts in the 2001 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the 2002 consolidated financial statements. 47 2.

INVESTMENT IN NON-CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES AmREIT owns interests in 5 limited liability companies or limited partnerships, which are accounted for under the equity method since AmREIT exercises significant influence. Our interests in these joint ventures and limited partnerships range from 2% to 40%, which are primarily single and multi-tenant net lease retail real estate assets. Combined condensed financial information of these ventures (at 100%) is summarized as follows: 48 Combined Balance Sheet December 31, 2002 Assets Property, net $ 8,698,634 Cash 4,172,585 Other assets 2,456,268 ------------- TOTAL ASSETS $15,327,487 =========== Liabilities and partners' capital Notes payable $ 3,859,810 Other liabilities 493,454 Partners capital 10,974,223 ------------ TOTAL LIABILITIES AND PARTNERS' CAPITAL $15,327,487 =========== Combined Statement of Operations 2002 2001 Total Revenue $ 2,624,850 $ 582,001 Expense Interest 358,672 83,110 Depreciation and amortization 189,066 71,640 Other 188,834 188,598 -------------- --------- TOTAL EXPENSE 736,572 343,348 -------------- --------- NET INCOME $ 1,888,278 $ 238,653 ============= ============ 5. NOTES PAYABLE In November 1998, the Company entered into an unsecured credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), which is being used to provide funds for the acquisition of properties and working capital, and repaid all amounts outstanding under the Company's prior credit facility. Under the Credit Facility, which had an original term of one year, and has been extended through April 2003, the Company may borrow up to $20 million subject to the value of unencumbered assets. The Company is negotiating with the Lender for an extension of the Credit Facility, which would extend the maturity of the Credit Facility beyond December 31, 2003. The Credit Facility contains covenants, which among other restrictions, require the Company to maintain a minimum net worth and a maximum leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2002, the Lender had waived these financial covenants. The Credit Facility bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 2.0% (3.4375% as of December 31, 2002). On December 31, 2002, $11.76 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility. Thus the Company has approximately $8.24 million available under its line of credit subject to use of proceeds by the lender. 49 In March 1999, the Company entered into a ten-year mortgage note, amortized over 30 years, for $1 million with $968 thousand being outstanding at December 31, 2002. The interest rate is fixed at 8.375% with payments of principal and interest due monthly. The note matures April 1, 2009 and as of December 31, 2002 the Company is in compliance with all terms of the agreement. The note is collateralized by a first lien mortgage on property with an aggregate carrying value of $1.179 million, net of $107 thousand of accumulated depreciation.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS See Note 4 regarding investments in non-consolidated affiliates. On July 23, 2002, the Company 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. AmREIT accounted for this merger as a purchase, whereby the assets of the partnerships have been recorded at fair market value. AmREIT increased its real estate assets by approximately $24.3 million and issued approximately 2.6 million shares of Class B common stock 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 stemmed from stock issued to H. Kerr Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer, based on a deferred consideration that was approved by the stockholders in 1998. Mr. Taylor was issued 302 thousand shares of Class A common stock, which resulted in a $1.9 million charge to earnings in the third quarter 2002. As the Company raises additional equity, Mr. Taylor is eligible to receive up to an additional 384 thousand shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the deferred consideration agreement approved by the stockholders in 1998 related to the sale of Mr. Taylor's advisory company to AmREIT. The Company provides property acquisition, leasing, administrative and management services for ten affiliated real estate limited partnerships that are under common management (the "Partnerships"). The president and director of the Company owns between 45% and 100% of the stock of the companies that serve as the general partner of the Partnerships. Service fees of $245 thousand and $335 thousand were paid by the Partnerships to the Company for 2002 and 2001 respectively. 53 As a sponsor of real estate investment opportunities to the NASD financial planning broker dealer community, the Company maintains a 1% general partner interest in the investment funds that it sponsors. 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. The Company also assigns a portion of this general partner interest in these investment funds to its employees as long term, contingent compensation. In so doing, the Company believes that it will align the interest of management with that of the 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. On March 20, 2002, the Company formed AAA CTL Notes, Ltd. ("AAA"), a majority owned subsidiary which is consolidated in the financial statements of AmREIT, through which the Company purchased fifteen IHOP leasehold estate properties and two IHOP fee simple properties. Locke Liddell and Sapp, LLP acts as the Company's corporate attorneys. Bryan Goolsby is the managing director of Locke Liddell and Sapp LLP and is a member of the Company's board of trust managers. During 2002 and 2001, the Company paid Locke Liddell and Sapp LLP approximately $777 thousand and $133 thousand, respectively, for legal services rendered. 9. PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS During the third quarter, the Company purchased seventeen IHOP restaurant properties. Fifteen of the properties are leasehold estate properties, whereby the Company owns the physical improvements, but does not own the underlying land. Two of the properties were purchased in fee simple. The total purchase price was $17.25 million. The properties were purchased utilizing $2.34 million cash and $14.91 million non-recourse, 10-year debt with an average interest rate of 7.85%. Each lease agreement extends for a period of 18-25 years, however, the tenant has the ability to extend the primary term of the lease for two to three additional terms of five years each. Additionally, each lease is subject to a corresponding ground lease with the same term of 18-25 years and two to three additional terms of five years each. The Company recorded $1.18 million in rental income during 2002 from properties acquired in this transaction. On July 23, 2002, the Company 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., which was accounted for as an acquisition. With the merger of the affiliated partnerships, AmREIT increased its real estate assets by approximately $24.3 million and issued approximately 2.6 million shares of Class B common stock to the limited partners in the affiliated partnerships. 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 do not have voting rights, receive a fixed 8% 54 cumulative and preferred dividend, and are convertible into the class A common shares on a one-for-one basis at any time, at the holder's option. Approximately $760 thousand in 8 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. The following selected unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for AmREIT and subsidiaries gives effect to the merger with its three affiliated partnerships, which assumes that the merger occurred on January 1, 2002 and January 1, 2001, respectively.

(2) Basis of Presentation and Combination The Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses (Historical Summary) has been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X and for inclusion in Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-11 of AmREIT and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property's revenues and expenses. The Historical Summary has been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Management of the Property is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation are of a recurring nature and have been made to the accompanying unaudited amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. (3) Gross Income The Property leases retail space under various lease agreements with its tenants. All leases are accounted for as operating leases. The leases include provisions under which the Property is reimbursed for common area, real estate, and insurance costs. Revenue related to these reimbursed costs is recognized in the period the applicable costs are incurred and billed to tenants pursuant to the lease agreements. Certain leases contain renewal to options at various periods at various rental rates. Certain of the leases contain provisions for contingent rentals. No contingent rent was earned during the year ended December 31, 2002. Although certain leases may provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is due and/or increases exist in minimum lease payments over the term of the lease, rental income is recognized for the full period of occupancy on a straight-line basis. Related adjustments increased base rental income by $16,000 for the period ended December 31, 2002. Minimum rents to be received from tenants under operating leases, which terms range from five years to twenty-two years, in effect at December 31, 2002 are as follows: 2003 $ 856,600 2004 856,600 2005 856,600 2006 856,600 2007 871,766 Thereafter 12,089,393 __________ Total $16,387,559 __________ __________ 63 (4) Direct Operating Expenses Direct operating expenses include only those costs expected to be comparable to the proposed future operations of the Property.
