Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2014 Results
 
DALLAS (August 14, 2014) -- Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE: ICI), a Dallas-based real estate investment company, today reported results of operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. ICI announced today that the Company reported net income applicable to common shares of $2.1 million, including $7.0 million in gains on the sale of income-producing properties, or $0.25 per diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to net income applicable to common shares of $11.8 million, including $18.1 million in gains on the sale of income-producing properties, or $1.33 per diluted earnings per share for the same period ended 2013.
 
For the six months ending June 30, 2014, net income applicable to common shares of $6.4 million includes $19.2 million of depreciation expense, $3.8 million of litigation settlement expense and gains on the sale of real estate holdings of $13.1 million.
 
The Company's commitment to enhance the value of our real estate holdings is proving successful in the results of operations. We continue to see growth in the multifamily market with increasing rents and stable operating expenses. We are diligent in our mission to provide high-quality living opportunities to our tenants as reflected in our occupancy rates over 95%.
 
In our commercial portfolio, we are seeing the benefit of our efforts with new leases executed and increasing rents as first year concessions expire. We believe that we will continue to see growth in our commercial portfolio as the economic conditions improve and we capitalize on the influx of attractive prospects in the pipeline.
 
Our ability to take advantage of lower-interest rate mortgages available has reduced our monthly obligations and increased cash flow within our multifamily portfolio.
 
The positive results of operations has allowed the Company to invest in mortgage receivables in various multifamily projects not under the Company's ownership. We will continue to invest in the multifamily market, as conditions are optimal for achieving a high return on our investment.
 
Rental and other property revenues were $19.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This represents an increase of $0.3 million, as compared to the prior period revenues of $19.6 million. This change, by segment, is an increase in the apartment portfolio of $0.7 million, offset by a decrease in the commercial portfolio of $0.4 million related to some prior year larger square-foot tenants down-sizing or moving out and first year lease specials for new tenants. As the first year lease concessions expire and new leases are signed, we have and will continue to see improvements in rental income for the commercial portfolio.
 
Property operating expenses were $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This represents an increase of $0.9 million, as compared to the prior period operating expenses of $8.8 million. Our operating expenses have remained consistent with prior periods due to labor efficiencies and improvements in preventative maintenance across the portfolio, with only an increase in real estate taxes as a result of the increase in the value of our portfolio.
 
General and administrative expenses were $2.7 million dollars for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This represents an increase of $1.1 million, as compared to the prior period general and administrative expenses of $1.6 million. The majority of this change was due to an increase in professional fees and corporate franchise taxes.
 
Interest income was $4.0 million for the three months ending June 30, 2014. This represents an increase of $1 9 million, as compared to the prior period interest income of $2.1 million dollars. The majority of the increase is due to the accrued interest recognition on the cash flow notes from Unified Housing Foundation, Inc. related to the mid-year surplus cash calculation. There was no mid-year surplus cash collected for the prior period.
