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 and, accordingly, 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.
Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in IORIs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the 2006 Form 10-K).
Certain balances from 2006 have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation.
Newly issued accounting standards.
In September 2006, the FASB issues SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on the Companys cash flows, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses shall be reported on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating and assessing the impact of this statement.

The Company transferred these six residential properties along with another residential property to partnerships formed with Metra Capital LLC (Metra); the transaction was recorded as a financing transaction under SFAS 66 Accounting for Real Estate Sales. The participation in the transaction by a former director of American Realty Investors Inc. (ARI), a related party, as well as the fact that at the time ARI was a related party to the Company, required the treatment as a financing transaction, although title to the residential properties was transferred to another entity. The effect is for these properties to remain as assets on the financial statements of the Company and liabilities associated with the financing transaction recorded. |

NOTE 5. ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Company is a party to an Advisory Agreement with Syntek West, Inc. (SWI), wherein SWI is responsible for the Companys day-to-day operations. SWI owns 57.17% of the Companys common stock. In accordance with the Advisory Agreement, SWI must formulate and submit to IORIs 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 IORIs performance against the business plan. The Advisory Agreement further places SWI in a fiduciary relationship to IORIs stockholders and contains a broad standard governing SWIs liability for any losses incurred by IORI.
SWI receives, as compensation for its management and advice, monthly advisory fees based on .75% of IORIs assets annually as well as specific fees for assisting IORI in obtaining financing and completing acquisitions. If IORIs operating expenses exceed limits specified in the Advisory Agreement, SWI is obligated to refund a portion of the advisory fees.
Effective July 1, 2005, the Company and SWI entered into a Cash Management Agreement to further define the administration of the Companys day-to-day investment operations, relationship contacts, flow of funds and deposit and borrowing of funds. Under the Cash Management Agreement, all funds of the Company are delivered to SWI which has a deposit liability to the Company and is responsible for investment of all excess funds, which earn interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus one percent per annum, set quarterly on the first day of each calendar quarter. 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 by SWI and IORI.
SWI also receives a Net Income Fee calculated as 7.5% of IORIs net income for the year.

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 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.
Presented below is the operating income of each operating segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and each segments assets at September 30, of each year (amounts in thousands).

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Liquidity. Management anticipates that IORI may not generate sufficient excess funds from operations in 2007 to be sufficient to discharge all of IORIs 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.
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 Companys financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS 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 Managements 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 managements 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 Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, which investors should review. There have been no changes from the risk factors previously described in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
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 Securities and Exchange Commission (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.
At September 30, 2007, IORI owned seven residential apartment communities totaling 1,319 units, one office building, one shopping center, one industrial property and 211 acres of land held for development. Except for a single apartment property located in Indiana, all of the Companys real estate assets are located in Texas.
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,
13
Table of Contents
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.
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 propertys remaining useful life. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which range from 5 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 heldfor-sale propertys 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 heldfor-sale propertys estimated fair value less costs of sale are recorded as an adjustment to the propertys carrying amount, but not in excess of the propertys 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 investees operating income and any additional investment and decreased by a proportionate share of the investees 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.

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 buyers 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 borrowers 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.
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 managements 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 IORIs 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 September 30, 2007 were $104,000 compared to $80,000 at December 31, 2006. IORIs principal sources of cash have been and will continue to be property operations, proceeds from asset sales, interest earned on notes receivable, proceeds from financings and refinancings and partnership distributions. Management anticipates that IORI will generate excess cash from operations in 2007 due to increased rental receipts at its properties. However, such excess may not be sufficient to discharge all of IORIs 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 a net loss of ($705,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, which included the following non-cash items: depreciation and amortization of $1 million, loss of investees of $24,000 and minority interest of $62,000.

Table of Contents
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $1 million; net cash used in investing activities was $8.7 million, consisting almost entirely of advances to the Companys Advisor under the terms of the Cash Management Agreement (see Note 5. Advisory Agreements) and net cash provided by financing activities was $7.8 million which represents net proceeds from refinancing of properties. In June 2007, the Company refinanced $6.4 million of existing debt on two apartment communities located in Midland, Texas. The new loans total $15.4 million and bear interest at rates currently averaging 7.8 percent per annum. The loans mature in June 2008 ($4.6 million) and July 2037 ($10.8 million).
Management reviews the carrying values of IORIs 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 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
IORI had a net income (loss) of $180,000 and ($705,000) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to a net income (loss) of ($229,000) and $430,000 for the corresponding periods in 2006. Fluctuations in components of revenue and expense between September 30, 2007 and the corresponding periods in 2006 are discussed below.
Rental income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $2.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively, compared to $2.0 million and $5.6 million in the corresponding periods in 2006. The increase is primarily due to revenue from the Falcon Point Apartments, which was acquired on March 31, 2006, as well as an overall increase in rents at the residential properties.
Property operating expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $1.2 million and $3.4 million as compared to $1.2 million and $3.0 million for the corresponding periods in 2006. The increase in the nine month amounts is primarily due to operating expenses from the Falcon Point Apartments.
Interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $1.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively, compared to $707,000 and $2.9 million for the corresponding periods in 2006. The increase was due almost entirely to the interest earned on monies advanced to the Companys financial advisor in accordance with the cash management agreement (See Note 5. Advisory Agreement).
Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $1.5 million and $5.4 million, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $3.3 million for the corresponding periods in 2006. The increase was primarily due to the additional debt incurred by IORI during 2006 and 2007 due to new loans, refinancings and the acquisition of the Falcon Point Apartments. The increase was also due to increased interest rates for IORIs variable interest rate debt.
The overall increase in interest expense was partially offset by the elimination of interest expense on the debt to Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (TCI), which was cancelled when One Hickory Center, an office building located in Dallas, Texas, was transferred to TCI in May 12, 2006. TCI owns approximately 25 percent of IDRIs outstanding common stock.
Advisory fees to affiliate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $227,000 and $805,000, respectively, compared to $261,000 and $886,000 for the corresponding periods in 2006. The advisory fee for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $34,000 and $81,000, respectively, due to a net increase in gross assets which is the basis of the advisory fee. This increase was offset by a decrease of fees for refinancing certain mortgage obligations (See Note 5. Advisory Agreement).
There was no net income fee to affiliates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $17,000 and $38,000 for the corresponding periods in 2006. The net income fee is based on .75% of IORIs net income (See Note 5. Advisory Agreement).

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.
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 2007 and has a loss for federal income tax purposes for the first nine months of 2007; therefore, it recorded no provision for income taxes.
At September 30, 2007, IORI had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $1.4 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.
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.
