NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Dollar amounts in tables are in thousands, except per share amounts. Certain balances for 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.
Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in IORI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the “2005 Form 10-K”).
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
SFAS 123-R. Effective January 1, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), the Company adopted SFAS No. 123-R using the modified prospective method. SFAS No. 123-R must be applied not only to newly awarded stock options but also to previously awarded stock options that were not fully vested on the Effective Date. IORI had no fully vested stock-option grants as of the Effective Date. Furthermore, IORI had no outstanding stock-option grants that were modified or settled after the Effective Date; therefore, IORI will recognize no additional compensation costs for previously awarded stock-option grants. In December 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated all stock-option plans and has no intent at the present to reinstate any stock-option programs.
EITF 04-5. At its June 2005 meeting, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, reached a consensus regarding Issue No. 04-5 (EITF 04-5), Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. EITF 04-5 was effective immediately for all newly-formed limited partnerships and for existing limited partnership agreements that are modified. The guidance is effective for existing limited-partnership agreements that are not modified no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The guidance provides a framework for addressing the question of when a general partner, as defined in EITF 04-5, should consolidate a limited partnership. The EITF has concluded that the general partner of a limited partnership should consolidate a limited partnership unless (1) the limited partners possess substantive kick-out rights as defined in paragraph B20 of FIN 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities , or (2) the limited partners possess substantive participating rights similar to the rights described in Issue 96-16, Investor’s Accounting for an Investee When the Investor has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders have Certain Approval or Veto Rights. The FASB has amended Statement of Position 78-9, Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures, and EITF 96-16, to conform and align with the guidelines set forth in EITF 04-5. There was no impact to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of EITF 04-5.
EITF 06-3. At its June 2006 meeting, the EITF ratified the consensus regarding Issue No. 06-3 (EITF 06-3), How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation). EITF 06-3 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier application added, and certain excise taxes. The consensus indicates that gross vs. net income statement classification of those taxes within its scope is an accounting policy decision. In addition, for taxes within its scope, the consensus requires the following disclosures: the accounting policy elected for these taxes and the amounts of the taxes reflected gross (as revenue) in the income statement on an interim and annual basis. We do not believe there will be an impact to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of EITF 06-3.
FIN 48. On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The standard also provides guidance on derecognizing, classification, interest, and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of this standard. Only tax positions that meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, to our financial condition and results of operations from the adoption of FIN 48.

NOTE 5. ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Company has an Advisory Agreement with Syntek West, Inc. (“SWI”), wherein SWI is responsible for the Company’s day-to-day operations. SWI must formulate and submit to IORI’s Board of Directors for approval an annual budget and business plan containing a twelve month forecast of operations and cash flow with a general plan for asset sales and purchases, borrowing activity and other investments. SWI reports to the Board quarterly on IORI’s performance against the business plan. The Advisory Agreement further places SWI in a fiduciary relationship to IORI’s stockholders and contains a broad standard governing SWI’s liability for any losses incurred by IORI.
SWI receives, as compensation for its management and advice, monthly advisory fees based on 7 1/2 percent of IORI’s assets annually as well as incentive fees for performance. If IORI’s operating expenses exceed limits specified in the Advisory Agreement SWI is obligated to refund a portion of the advisory fees.

Borrowings for the benefit of the Company bear the same interest rate. The term of the Cash Management Agreement is coterminous with the Advisory Agreement, and is automatically renewed each year unless terminated with the Advisory Agreement.

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As described in NOTE 2 REAL ESTATE, on March 31, 2006 IORI acquired a 218 unit apartment complex located in Indianapolis, Indiana from SWI for $3,750,000, which includes the assumption of a $1,500,000 existing mortgage. The $2,250,000 due to the seller was applied to the ‘Due to affiliates’ balance between IORI and SWI.
On October 14, 2003, IORI purchased, sold, and conveyed an office building known as One Hickory Centre, and sold 202 acres of unimproved real property known as the Travelers Land in Dallas County, Texas to Encino Executive Plaza, Ltd an affiliate of ARI. The sale price for One Hickory Centre was $12,200,000 and Encino Executive Plaza, Ltd. executed a wrap-around promissory note in the amount of $11,973,025 payable to the order of IORI secured by a Deed of Trust encumbering One Hickory Centre. The remaining difference was a result of pro-rations and various expenses paid by IORI in connection with the closing of the transaction. The note bore interest at 5.49 percent per annum. The sale price for the Travelers Land was $25,000,000. At closing, Encino Executive Plaza, Ltd. executed an all inclusive wrap-around promissory note payable to the order of IORI in the principal amount of $22,801,987 secured by a Deed of Trust covering the Travelers Land sold and delivered cash to IORI in the amount of $1,946,715. As with the prior transaction, the difference between the purchase price and the promissory note represented adjustments for various pro-rations. The note bore interest at 5.49 percent per annum. Subsequently, IORI made a loan to Encino Executive Plaza, Ltd. in the amount of $1,567,232 payable upon demand or if no demand is made prior thereto on June 30, 2006 with a market rate of interest. Encino Executive Plaza, Ltd. executed and delivered a promissory note payable to the order of IORI in the stated principal amount of $1,567,232. The note bore interest at 5.49 percent per annum.
On May 12, 2006 Encino Executive Plaza Ltd. transferred One Hickory Center and the 202 acres of unimproved real property known as Travelers land back to IORI in satisfaction of the three notes in the amounts of $11,973,025, $22,801,987 and the $1,567,232 respectively. Further, on May 12, 2006 IORI transferred One Hickory Center to a subsidiary of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc (“TCI”) (a related party) in satisfaction of IORI’s debt of $11,973,025 which was secured by One Hickory Centre.
IORI has not recorded any gain or loss with respect to the above transactions
NOTE 8. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Significant differences among the accounting policies of the operating segments as compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements principally involve the calculation and allocation of administrative expenses. Management evaluates the performance of each of the operating segments and allocates resources to them based on their operating income and cash flow. There are no intersegment revenues and expenses and IORI conducted all of its business within the United States.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Liquidity. Management anticipates that IORI will generate excess cash from operations in 2006 due to increased rental rates and occupancy at its properties. However, such excess may not be sufficient to discharge all of IORI’s debt obligations as they mature.

INCOME OPPORTUNITY REALTY INVESTORS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued
Management may selectively sell income producing assets, refinance real estate, and/or incur additional borrowings against real estate to meet its cash requirements.
Litigation. IORI is also involved in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is of the opinion that the outcome of these lawsuits will have no material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In August 2006, a TCI subsidiary and IORI, as co-borrowers, obtained a $28.7 million loan which if fully subscribed by participating lenders would result in a credit facility for up to $42.6 million The loan matures in August 2008 and bears interest at the fixed rate of 8.6 percent per annum. The loan requires quarterly interest payments beginning in October 2006. The loan is secured by a) approximately 99 acres of land located in Dallas, Texas and owned by the TCI subsidiary (which the TCI subsidiary purchased from ARI in August 2006) and b) 202 acres of land owned by IORI (known as the Travelers land) located in Dallas, Texas, and is guaranteed by TCI. Proceeds of the new loan were initially used to retire the existing debt on the collateral (including approximately $11 million of existing debt on the 202 acres pledged by IORI) and will be used to fund additional investments for TCI and IORI.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
WARNING CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
This Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, principally, but not only, under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We caution investors that any forward-looking statements in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and on assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions which do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors, that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. We caution you that, while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the factors listed and described at Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which investors should review. There have been no changes from the risk factors previously described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Other sections of this report may also include suggested factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such matters; nor can we assess the impact of all such matters on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Investors should also refer to our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for future periods and current reports on Form 8-K as we file them with the SEC, and to other materials we may furnish to the public from time to time through Forms 8-K or otherwise.
Overview
IORI invests in equity interests in real estate through acquisitions, leases, partnerships and in mortgage loans. IORI is the successor to a California business trust organized on December 14, 1984, which commenced operations on April 10, 1985.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. From time-to-time, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.
13
Real Estate Held for Investment
Real estate held for investment is carried at cost. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”), requires that a property be considered impaired if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property. If impairment exists, an impairment loss is recognized, by a charge against earnings, equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair value less cost to sell the property. If impairment of a property is recognized, the carrying amount of the property is reduced by the amount of the impairment, and a new cost for the property is established. Such new cost is depreciated over the property’s remaining useful life. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which range from five to 40 years.
Real Estate Held-for-Sale
Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at new cost, defined as the lower of original cost or fair value minus estimated costs of sale. SFAS No. 144 also requires that properties held-for-sale be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs of sale. If a reduction in a held for sale property’s carrying amount to fair value less costs of sale is required, a provision for loss is recognized by a charge against earnings. Subsequent revisions, either upward or downward, to a held for sale property’s estimated fair value less costs of sale are recorded as an adjustment to the property’s carrying amount, but not in excess of the property’s carrying amount when originally classified as held-for-sale. A corresponding charge against or credit to earnings is recognized. Properties held-for-sale are not depreciated.
Investments in Equity Investees
IORI may be considered to have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and investment policies of certain of its investees. Those investees are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, an initial investment, recorded at cost, is increased by a proportionate share of the investee’s operating income and any additional investment and decreased by a proportionate share of the investee’s operating losses and distributions received.
Recognition of Rental Income
Rental income for commercial property leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. Rental income for residential property leases is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as earned, which is not materially different than on a straight-line basis as lease terms are generally for periods of one year or less. For hotel properties, revenues for room sales and guest services are recognized as rooms are occupied and services are rendered.
Revenue Recognition on the Sale of Real Estate
Sales of real estate are recognized when and to the extent permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (“SFAS No. 66”), as amended by SFAS No. 144. Until the requirements of SFAS No. 66 for full profit recognition have been met, transactions are accounted for using the deposit, installment, cost recovery or financing method, whichever is appropriate. When IORI provides seller financing, gain is not recognized at the time of sale unless the buyer’s initial investment and continuing investment are deemed to be adequate as determined by SFAS 66 guidelines.
Non-performing Notes Receivable
IORI considers a note receivable to be non-performing when the maturity date has passed without principal repayment and the borrower is not making interest payments. Any new note receivable that results from a modification or extension of a note considered non-performing will also be considered non-performing, without regard to the borrower’s adherence to payment terms.
Interest Recognition on Notes Receivable
Interest income is not recognized on notes receivable that have been delinquent for 60 days or more. In addition, accrued but unpaid interest income is only recognized to the extent that the net realizable value of the underlying collateral exceeds the carrying value of the receivable.
14
Allowance for Estimated Losses
A valuation allowance is provided for estimated losses on notes receivable considered to be impaired. Impairment is considered to exist when it is probable that all amounts due under the terms of the note will not be collected. Valuation allowances are provided for estimated losses on notes receivable to the extent that the investment in the note exceeds management’s estimate of fair value of the collateral securing such note.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of its notes receivable, marketable equity securities, and notes payable. For performing notes receivable, the fair value was estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates for similar loans. For non-performing notes receivable, the estimated fair value of IORI’s interest in the collateral property was used. For marketable equity securities, fair value was based on the year-end closing market price of each security. For notes payable, the fair value was estimated using current rates for mortgages with similar terms and maturities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2006 were $766,000 compared to $201,000 at December 31, 2005. IORI’s principal sources of cash have been and will continue to be property operations, proceeds from asset sales, interest earned on notes receivable, financings and refinancings and partnership distributions. Management anticipates that IORI will generate excess cash from operations in 2006 due to increased rental receipts at its properties. However, such excess may not be sufficient to discharge all of IORI’s debt obligations as they mature. Management may selectively sell income producing assets, refinance real estate, and/or incur additional borrowings against real estate to meet its cash requirements.
The Company reported net income of $659,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, which included the following items for the period: depreciation and amortization of $487,000 increases in other assets of $785,000 increases in interest receivable of $53,000 a decrease in interest payable of $52,000 increase in other liabilities of $9,000 and minority interest of $42,000. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $226,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 net cash used in investing activities was $163,000. Net cash provided by financing activities was $502,000.
Management reviews the carrying values of IORI’s properties at least annually or whenever events or a change in circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. Impairment is considered to exist if, in the case of a property, the future cash flow from the property (undiscounted and without interest) is less than the carrying amount of the property. If impairment is found to exist, a provision for loss is recorded by a charge against earnings. The property review generally includes selective property inspections, discussions with the manager of the property, visits to selected properties in the area and a review of the following: (1) the property’s current rents compared to market rents, (2) the property’s expenses, (3) the property’s maintenance requirements and (4) the property’s cash flows.
Results of Operations
IORI had net income of $65,000 and $659,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to net income of $594,000 and $833,000 for the corresponding periods in 2005. Fluctuations in components of revenue and expense between 2006 and the corresponding periods in 2005 are discussed below.
Rental incomes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $1.9 million and $3.6 million as compared to $1.6 million and $3.1 million in the corresponding periods in 2005. The increase is primarily due to rental increases and the purchase of Falcon Point.
Property operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $1.0 million and $1.8 million as compared to $825,000 and $1.6 million for the corresponding periods in 2005.
Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $844,000 and $2.0 million compared to $984,000 and $2.0 million for the corresponding periods in 2005. Increases were due to additional interest earned from additional notes receivable obtained from affiliates of IORI. These increases were offset by the cancellation of the Encino notes discussed in NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS. Interest income received by IORI on the Encino Notes through May 12, 2006 was $568,081. Interest expense eliminated on the debt to TCI, which was cancelled, totaled $657,319 annually.
15
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $1.1 million and $2.1 million compared to $562,000 and $1.5 million for the corresponding periods in 2005. The increase was primarily due to the additional debt incurred by IORI during 2005 and 2006 due to refinancings and the acquisition of Falcon Point. The increase was also due to increased interest rates for IORI’s variable interest rate debt.
Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $190,000 and $360,000 compared to $173,000 and $350,000 for the corresponding periods in 2005. The increase was due principally to the acquisition of Falcon Point.
Advisory fees to affiliate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $243,000 and $417,000 compared to $170,000 and $337,000 for the corresponding periods in 2005. The increase was due primarily to a net increase in gross assets which is the basis of the advisory fee and a fee for refinancing certain mortgage obligations. See NOTE 5. ADVISORY AGREEMENT.
The net income fee to affiliates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $5,000 and $55,000 as compared to $55,000 and $67,000 in the corresponding periods in 2005. The net income fee is based on 7 1/2 percent of IORI’s net income. See NOTE 5 “ADVISORY AGREEMENT.”
General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $132,000 and $282,000 as compared to $199,000 and $341,000 in the corresponding periods in 2005.
Related Party Transactions
Historically, IORI, ARI, Regis Realty I, LLC (“Regis I”), and TCI have each engaged in and may continue to engage in business transactions, including real estate partnerships with related parties. Management believes that all of the related party transactions represented the best investments available at the time and were at least as advantageous to IORI, ARI, Regis I and TCI as could have been obtained from unrelated third parties.
Income Taxes
Financial statement income varies from taxable income principally due to the accounting for income and losses of investees, gains and losses from asset sales, depreciation on owned properties, amortization of discounts on notes receivable and payable and the difference in the allowance for estimated losses. IORI has alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards available for the first six months of 2006 and had a loss for federal income tax purposes after the use of net operating loss carryforwards for the first six months of 2005; therefore, it recorded no provision for income taxes.
At June 30, 2006, IORI had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $499,000 due to tax deductions available to it in future years. However, as management cannot determine that it is more likely than not that IORI will realize the benefit of the deferred tax asset, a 100 percent valuation allowance has been established.
Inflation
The effects of inflation on IORI’s operations are not quantifiable. Revenues from apartment operations tend to fluctuate proportionately with inflationary increases and decreases in housing costs. Fluctuations in the rate of inflation also affect the sales value of properties and the ultimate gain to be realized from property sales. To the extent that inflation affects interest rates, earnings from short-term investments and the cost of new financings, as well as the cost of variable interest rate debt, will be affected.
Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, IORI may be potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other potential costs, relating to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property) where property-level managers have arranged for the removal, disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, certain environmental laws impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials into the air and third parties may seek recovery for personal injury associated with such materials.
Management is not aware of any environmental liability relating to the above matters that would have a material adverse effect on IORI’s business, assets or results of operations.
