Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE MKT: IOT), a Dallas-based real estate investment company, today reported results of operations for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company reported net loss of $0.3 million or $0.08 per share for the period ended December 31, 2014, as compared to net income of $3.6 million or $0.86 per share for the same period ended 2013.
We had net income of $1.6 million or $0.37 per diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to net income applicable to common shares of $5.5 million or $1.33 per diluted earnings per share for the same period ended 2013. The current period net income of $1.6 million includes $0.6 million of general and administrative expenses, $0.2 million of net income fees owed our Advisor and a tax-sharing agreement expense of $0.9 million due to our parent.
Our primary business is investing in real estate and mortgage receivables. The Company has invested in over 150 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 note receivables due from related parties. During the current period, these notes generated $4.7 million of interest income.
Expenses were lower in the current period with the largest decrease in the Mortgage and Loan Interest expense category. This decrease was due to the Mercer/Travelers land mortgage note buyout in December 2013 that was replaced with a new note with a lower principal balance.
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.
