ITEM 7.       FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS


This Form 8-K/A amends a Form 8-K Current Report, dated December 30, 1997 and
filed January 9, 1998 by Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (the
"Company") and provides required financial statements that were not available
at the date of the original filing.

(a)    Pro forma financial information:

Pro forma statements of operations are presented for the year ended December
31, 1996 and the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  A pro forma balance
sheet as of September 30, 1997 is also presented.

A summary of the pro forma transactions follows:

On December 30, 1997, the Company purchased Akard Plaza, a 42,895 square foot
office building in Dallas, Texas, for $3.5 million approximately 5.5% of the
Company's assets at December 31, 1996.  The seller of the property was Dallas
General Life Insurance Company.  The Company paid $1.0 million in cash and
obtained seller financing of the remaining $2.5 million of the purchase price.
The mortgage bears interest at a 9.0% per annum, requires monthly payments of
interest only and matures in September 1998.

On December 31, 1997, the Company purchased the Fireside Thrift Building, a
56,120 square foot office building in Newark, California, for $6.0 million,
approximately 9.4% of the Company's assets at December 31, 1996.  The seller of
the property was 5600 Mowry School Road Corporation.  The Company paid $1.7
million in cash and assumed the existing mortgage of $4.3 million.  The
mortgage bears interest at 9.4% per annum, requires monthly payments of
principal and interest of $35,843 and matures in September 2006.

In assessing each purchase of income producing property described above, the
following were among the factors considered by the Company's management,
geographic location of the property, performance of the property, new or
renovated properties in the vicinity of the property and the maintenance and
appearance of the property.  Additional factors considered were the ease of
access to the property, the adequacy of related facilities, such as parking,
and the property's sensitivity to market conditions in establishing rental
rates.

In addition to the Akard Plaza and Fireside Thrift Building purchases discussed
above, the Company has purchased three office buildings, one in La Mesa,
California, in May 1997, a second in Chantilly, Virginia, in January 1997 and
the third in Westlake Village, California, in November 1997, and two apartment
complexes, one in Houston, Texas, in June 1997 and the other in Dallas, Texas,
also in June 1997.  The properties were purchased for a total of $36.5 million.
The Company paid a  total of $8.5 million in cash and financed the remainder of
the purchase prices.  The mortgages secured by the properties bear interest at
fixed and variable rates ranging from 8.375% to 10.75% per annum and mature
between 1999 and 2007.

ITEM 7.       FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS (Continued)

In 1997, the Company also sold three apartment complexes, one in March, one in
June and one in December.  In connection with these sales, the Company received
net cash totaling $8.4 million.

These pro forma statements of operations present the Company's operations as if
the purchase and sale transactions described above had occurred at the
beginning of each of the periods presented.  The Company's management is not
aware of any material factors relating to the purchased properties that would
cause the reported financial information not be necessarily indicative of
future operating results.

1.   The Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations assumes that each property
     was purchased or sold by the Company on January 1, 1997. Pro forma
     operating results for property purchases are from January 1 through the
     respective dates of purchase only. Results subsequent to the dates of
     purchase are included in the "Actual" column.


2.   Statements of operations for the ten months ended October 31, 1997 were
     obtained for Akard Plaza and Fireside Thrift. Such statements were used as
     the basis for estimating their respective operating results for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1997.


3.   No interim financial statements were available for Renaissance Parc, La
     Monte Park, Chuck Yeager, La Mesa village or Westlake Village. Therefore,
     the previous years' actual amounts were used to estimate the interim period
     January 1 to the respective date of purchase.
