Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE MKT: IOT), a Dallas-based real estate investment company, today reported results of operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company reported net income of $0.6 million or $0.13 per share for the period ended March 31, 2015, as compared to net income of $0.6 million or $0.13 per share for the same period ended 2014.
Our primary business is investing in real estate and mortgage note receivables. Land held for development or sale is our sole operating segment. The Company has invested in over 170 acres of land held for development or sale 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 future public transportation systems, Mercer Crossing is in a prime location for future growth and development.
The principal source of revenue for the Company is interest income on over $25.4 million of mortgage note receivables due from related parties. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, these notes generated $0.7 million of interest income, respectively.
Operating expenses of $174,000 were $12,000 higher in the current period as compared with the equivalent prior period ending March 31, 2014, due to an increase in legal and professional fees. Additionally, Advisory Fees paid to related parties of $175,000 were $10,000 higher in the current period as compared with the equivalent prior period ending March 31, 2014, due to an increase in the gross asset values of our portfolio.
Interest expense of $165,000 was $19,000 less in the current period as compared with the equivalent prior period ending March 31, 2014, due to principal payments made in prior periods, thereby requiring less interest to be paid on our debt obligation for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
