NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures, including a description of significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in IORIs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 (the 2003 Form 10-K).

NOTE 3. NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE
There were no new notes funded in 2004.
Junior Mortgage Loans. Junior mortgage loans are loans secured by mortgages that are subordinate to one or more prior liens either on the fee or a leasehold interest in real estate. Recourse on the loans ordinarily includes the real estate which secures the loan, other collateral and personal guarantees of the borrower.
On October 14, 2003, IORI sold and conveyed the office building known as One Hickory Centre and 202 acres of unimproved real property known as the Travelers Land in Dallas County, Texas to Encino Executive Plaza, Ltd. The sale price for One Hickory Centre was $12,200,000 and Encino
7
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 note bore interest at 5.5% per annum. As with the prior transaction, the difference between the purchase price and the promissory note represented adjustments for various prorations. 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, the remaining difference of which was as a result of prorations and various expenses paid by IORI in connection with the closing of the transaction. The note bore interest at 5.5% 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 5.5% per annum.
On December 30, 2003, a Promissory Note in the amount of $6,363,360 given by Housing for Seniors of Humble (Housing), LLC to NLP Lakeshore Villas, LLC (NLP) was assigned from American Realty Investors, Inc. (ARI) to IORI as a paydown of certain intercompany receivables.
On December 30, 2003, a Promissory Note in the amount of $2,000,000 given by Housing to NLP was assigned from ARI to IORI as additional paydown of certain intercompany receivables.
NOTE 4. OTHER ASSETS
Related Party. From time-to-time, IORI and its affiliates and related parties have made advances to each other to fund their respective operations, which generally have not had specific repayment terms and have been reflected in IORIs financial statements as other assets. At March 31, 2004, IORI had receivables of $2.5 million, $0, and $261,000 from its advisor Syntek West, Inc. (SWI), ARI, and Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (TCI), respectively.
NOTE 5. NOTES AND INTEREST PAYABLE
In April 2002, IORI sold all of its residential properties to partnerships controlled by Metra Capital, LLC (Metra). These properties include: the 60 unit Brighton Court, the 92 unit Del Mar, the 68 unit Enclave, the 280 unit Meridian, the 57 unit Signature, the 114 unit Sinclair, located in Midland, Texas and the 106 unit Treehouse, located in San Antonio, Texas. Innovo Realty, Inc., a subsidiary of Innovo Group, Inc. (Innovo) is a limited partner in the partnerships that purchased the properties. Joseph Mizrachi, a director of ARI, a
8
related party, controls approximately 11.67% of the outstanding common stock of Innovo. The sale constituted 23% of the total assets of IORI as of December 31, 2001. The sales price for the properties totaled $26.2 million. IORI received $5.4 million in cash after the payoff of $16.1 million in debt and various closing costs. Management has determined to account for this sale as a refinancing transaction, in accordance with SFAS No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate. IORI will continue to report the assets and the new debt incurred by the Metra partnerships on the IORI financial statements. The new debt on the properties totals $21.4 million, bears interest at 7.57% per annum, requires monthly interest only payments of $135,000 and matures in May 2012. IORI also received $5.2 million of 8% non-recourse, non-convertible Series A Preferred Stock (Preferred Shares) of Innovo.
The dividend on the Preferred Shares will be funded entirely and solely through member distributions from cash flows generated by the operation and subsequent sale of the sold properties. In the event the cash flows for the properties are insufficient to cover the 8% annual dividend, Innovo will have no obligation to cover any shortfall.
The Preferred Shares have a mandatory redemption feature and are redeemable from the cash proceeds received by Innovo from the operation and sale of the properties. All member distributions that are in excess of current and accrued 8% dividends must be used by Innovo to redeem the Preferred Shares. Since redemption of these shares is subject to the above future events, management has elected to record no basis in the Preferred Shares.
As mentioned on Note 2, the Treehouse apartment property was sold for $5.4 million. All the existing mortgage payable amount was discharged at the closing.
In 2004, IORI refinanced the following property:

Returns on Metra Properties. As described more fully in Note 5, IORI sold all of its residential properties during 2002 to partnerships controlled by Metra. The partnership agreement for each of these partnerships states that the Metra Partners, as defined, receive cash flow distributions at least quarterly in an amount sufficient to provide them with a fifteen percent cumulative compounded annual rate of return on their invested capital, as well as a cumulative annual amount of 0.50% of the average outstanding balance of the mortgage indebtedness secured by any of these residential properties. These distributions to the Metra Partners have priority over distributions to any of the other partners.
NOTE 7. 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 general and administrative expenses. Management evaluates the performance of the operating segments and allocates resources to each of them based on their operating income and cash flow. Items of income that are not reflected in the segments are interest and equity in partnerships totaling $597,000 income and $15,000 loss for 2004 and 2003, respectively. Expenses that are not reflected in the segments are general and administrative expenses, advisory fees, and net income fees totaling $678,000 and $422,000 for 2004 and 2003, respectively. Excluded from operating segment assets are assets of $52.8 million at March 31, 2004 and $14.3 million at March 31, 2003, which are not identifiable with an operating segment. There are no intersegment revenues and expenses and all business is conducted in the United States.
Presented below is the operating income and assets of each operating segment.

NOTE 9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Effective January 1, 2002, IORI adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), which established a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets including discontinued operations. This statement requires that the operations related to properties that have been sold, or properties that are intended to be sold, be presented as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented, and the properties intended to be sold are to be designated as held for sale on the balance sheet. In the event of a future asset sale, IORI is required to reclassify portions of previously reported operations to discontinued operations within the Statements of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, income from discontinued operations relates to one property that IORI sold during 2004. The following table summarizes revenue and expense information for the properties sold.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Liquidity. Management anticipates that IORI will generate excess cash from operations in 2004 due to increased rental rates and occupancy at its properties, however, such excess may not be sufficient to discharge all of IORIs debt obligations as they mature. Management intends to selectively sell income producing real estate, refinance real estate and incur additional borrowings against real estate to meet its cash requirements.
Other Litigation. IORI is also involved in various other 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 Companys financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
14
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
IORI invests in equity interests in real estate through acquisitions, leases and partnerships and also invests 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
Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of IORIs financial condition and results of operations and require managements most difficult, complex or subjective judgments. IORIs critical accounting policies relate to the evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets and the evaluation of the collectibility of accounts and notes receivable.
If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a rental property to be held and used or land held for development may be impaired, management performs a recoverability analysis based on estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the property in the future. If the analysis indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from future cash flows, the property is written down to estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. If management decides to sell rental properties or land held for development, management evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amounts of the assets. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from estimated net sales proceeds, the property is written down to estimated fair value less costs to sell and an impairment loss is recognized within income from continuing operations. IORIs estimates of cash flow and fair values of the properties are based on current market conditions and consider matters such as rental rates and occupancies for comparable properties, recent sales data for comparable properties and, where applicable, contracts or the results of negotiations with purchasers or prospective purchasers. IORIs estimates are subject to revision as market conditions and IORIs assessments of them change.
IORIs allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and notes receivable is established based on analysis of the risk of loss on specific accounts. The analysis places particular emphasis on past due accounts. Management considers such information as the nature and age of the receivable, the payment history of the tenant or other debtor, the financial condition of the tenant or other debtor and IORIs assessment of its ability to meet its lease or interest obligations. IORIs estimate of the required allowance, which is reviewed on a quarterly basis, is subject to revision as these factors change and is sensitive to the effects of economic and market conditions. Typically, IORIs
15
notes receivable are collateralized by income producing real estate. IORI had $44.7 million notes receivable at March 31, 2004 and at December 31, 2003.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2004 were $112,000, compared with $58,000 at December 31, 2003. IORIs principal sources of cash have been and will continue to be property operations, proceeds from property sales, financings and refinancings and partnership distributions. Management anticipates that IORI will generate excess cash from operations in 2004 due to increased rental receipts at its properties, however, such excess will not be sufficient to discharge all of IORIs debt obligations as they mature. Management intends to selectively sell income producing real estate, refinance real estate and incur additional borrowings against real estate to meet its cash requirements.
The Company reported net income of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, which included the following non-cash changes: depreciation of $347,000, increases in other assets of $129,000 and increases in other liabilities of $245,000. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $86,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the increase in other liabilities was primarily due to an increase in accrued net income fee and the increase in other assets was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable. Net cash used in investing activities of $644,000 was comprised of proceeds from sale of real estate of $1.4 million and advances to SWI of $2.1 million. Net cash provided by financing activities of $612,000 was comprised of payments on notes payable of $586,000, proceeds on notes payable of $1.2 million and an increase in deferred financing expense of $5,000.
In the first quarter of 2004, IORI sold one apartment building for $5.4 million, receiving net cash of $1.1 million after the payoff of existing debt and the payment of various closing costs.
Management reviews the carrying values of IORIs properties at least annually and 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 propertys current rents compared to market rents, (2) the propertys expenses, (3) the propertys maintenance requirements and (4) the propertys cash flows.

Results of Operations
For the first quarter of 2004, IORI had a net income of $2.7 million, as compared to net loss of $998,000 for the corresponding period in 2003, The net income in 2004 included gains on sale of real estate totaling $3.3 million. Fluctuations in components of revenue and expense between the 2004 and 2003 periods are discussed below.
Rents for the first quarter of 2004, decreased to $2.1 million versus $2.3 million in the corresponding period in 2003. Rental income for the remaining quarters of 2004 may be expected to decrease if IORI selectively sells properties.
Property operations expense was $1.2 million in 2004 versus $1.3 million in 2003. Property operations expense may be expected to decrease in the remaining 2004 if IORI selectively sells properties.
Interest income was $598,000 in 2004 versus no interest income in 2003. The increase in 2003 from 2002 was due to interest income earned from the wraparound promissory notes with Encino Executive Plaza and the promissory notes with Housing for Seniors of Humble.
Interest expense was $978,000 in 2004 versus $1.2 million in 2003. The decrease in 2004 from 2003 was due to sale of two commercial properties partially offset by purchase of one commercial property and one residential property. Interest expense in 2004 is expected to remain constant or decrease if IORI selectively sells properties.
Depreciation expense was $342,000 in 2004 versus $397,000 in 2003. The decrease in 2004 from 2003 was due to sale of two commercial properties and fully depreciated tenant improvements.
Advisory fee to affiliate was $193,000 in 2004 versus 167,000 in 2003. The change was due to changes in gross assets, the basis of the fee. See NOTE 8. ADVISORY FEES.
IORI paid a net income fee of $215,000 in 2004. The net income fee is based on 7.5% of IORIs net income.
General and administrative expense was $270,000 in 2004 versus $255,000 in 2003. The slight increase in 2004 resulted from an increase in property insurance and rental expense.
Related Party Transactions
Historically, IORI, ARI, RR, 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, RR, and TCI as could have been obtained from unrelated third parties.
17
Taxes
For the tax years prior to 2003, IORI elected and qualified to be treated as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), as defined in Sections 856 and 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and as such was not taxed for federal income tax purposes on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to stockholders. Due to the completion of a tender offer by ARI, an affiliate, and the resulting concentration of ownership, IORI no longer met the requirements for tax treatment as a REIT under the Code as of January 1, 2003, and is prohibited for re-qualifying for REIT status for at least five years.
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 had a loss for federal income tax purposes after the use of net operating loss carryforwards in the first quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2003; therefore, it recorded no provision for income taxes.
At March 31, 2004, IORI had a net deferred tax asset of $3.6 million 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% valuation allowance has been established.
Inflation
The effects of inflation on IORIs 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.
18
Management is not aware of any environmental liability relating to the above matters that would have a material adverse effect on IORIs business, assets or results of operations.
