Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2014 Results
DALLAS (November 10, 2014) Income Opportunity Realty lnvestors, Inc. (NYSE MKT: IOT), a Dallas-based real estate investment company, today reported results of operations for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014. IOT announced today that the Company reported net income applicable to common shares of $623,000 or $0.15 per diluted earnings per share for the period ended September 30, 2014, as compared to net income applicable to common shares of $625,000 or $0.15 per diluted earnings per share for the same period ended 2013.
Our primary business is investing in real estate and mortgage receivables. Land held for development or sale is our sole operating segment and as of September 30, 2014, our land consisted of approximately 170 acres of contiguous land in the Mercer Crossing development located in Farmers Branch, Texas. The Mercer Crossing development is a 1,200 acre assembly of properties at the demographic center of the Dallas — Fort Worth Metroplex. Surrounded by three major highways and adjacent to current and figure public transportation systems, Mercer Crossing is in a prime location for future growth and development.
There was no income generated from the land segment for the three months ended September 30, 2014, nor for the prior period ended 2013, as we continue to hold the land for development or sale.
The principal source of revenue for the Company is interest income on over $25.4 million of note receivables due from related parties. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2014, was $1.2 million, representing a $0.2 million decrease as compared to the same period in the previous year mainly due to a decrease in the receivable amount.
Expenses were lower for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in the previous year. The largest decrease was in the Mortgage and Loan Interest expense category which was $176,000 for the current period, representing a decrease of $121,000. This decrease was due to the Mercer/Travelers land $27.7 million mortgage note buyout in December 2013 that was replaced with a new note with a principal balance of $12.4 million.
Operating expenses and General and Administrative expenses were both lower in the current period primarily due to a decrease in legal fees and professional fees.
