</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Dallas
(May&nbsp;15, 2009) &#151; American Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE:ARL), a Dallas-based real estate
investment company, today reported results of operations for the first quarter ended March
31, 2009. ARL announced today that the Company reported net income applicable to common shares of
($7.2) million or ($0.64) per diluted earnings per share which includes gain on sale of real
estate from discontinued operations of $4.8&nbsp;million, as compared to a net income applicable to
common shares of $59.8&nbsp;million or $4.60 per diluted earnings per share which includes gain on sale
of real estate from discontinued operations of $111.4&nbsp;million for the same period ended 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I><b>Results of operations for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2009 as compared to the same period ended
2008.</b></I>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Rental and other property revenues increased by $3.5&nbsp;million as compared to the prior period,
which by segment was an increase in the apartment portfolio of $2.8&nbsp;million and an increase in
the commercial portfolio of $2.0&nbsp;million, offset by a decrease in the hotel portfolio of $0.9
million, a decrease in the land portfolio of $0.3&nbsp;million and a decrease in the other portfolio
of $0.1&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Depreciation and amortization increased $1.0&nbsp;million as compared to the prior period, which by
segment was an increase in the apartment portfolio of $0.7&nbsp;million and an increase in the
commercial portfolio of $0.3&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Other income increased $2.8&nbsp;million as compared to the prior period. The majority of the increase
of $2.3&nbsp;million is from the gains on our disposition of our investment in the Korean REIT. In
addition, we had $0.5 of nonrecurring income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Mortgage and loan interest expense decreased $1.6&nbsp;million as compared to the prior period,
which by segment is a decrease in the apartment portfolio of $0.4&nbsp;million, a decrease in the
commercial portfolio of $0.4&nbsp;million, a decrease in the land portfolio of $0.8&nbsp;million and a
decrease in the other portfolio of $0.1&nbsp;million, offset by an increase in the hotel portfolio
of $0.1&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Earnings from unconsolidated subsidiaries decreased $5.1&nbsp;million as compared to prior period. The
decrease is attributable to the lack of activity within the entities. In the prior period, these
entities had large non-recurring gains from the sale of properties.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Provisions for allowance on notes receivable and impairment decreased $11.6&nbsp;million as compared to
the prior period. In the prior period, we posted a provision for doubtful collections on our
receivables of $5.0&nbsp;million and a $7.0&nbsp;million reserve against certain investments within our
portfolio.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Loss from discontinued operations decreased $13.8&nbsp;million as compared to the prior period.
There are only two properties in discontinued operations for 2009 as compared to 30 for 2008.
