Organization

Income Opportunity Investors, Inc. (the “Company”) is an externally managed company that invests in mortgage notes receivables. As used herein, the terms “IOR”, “the Company”, “We”, “Our”, or “Us” refer to the Company.

Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (“TCI”), whose common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “TCI”, owns 82.9% of our stock and with its affiliates owns approximately 89.5% of our common stock. Accordingly, our financial results are included in the consolidated financial statements of TCI’s in their Form 10-K and in their tax filings. American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARL”), whose common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “ARL”, in turn, owns approximately 78.4% of TCI.

Our business is managed by Pillar Income Asset Management, Inc. (“Pillar”) in accordance with an Advisory Agreement that is reviewed annually by our Board of Directors. Pillar is considered to be a related party (See Note 4 – Related Party Transactions).

Pillar’s duties include, but are not limited to, locating, evaluating and recommending real estate and real estate-related investment opportunities. Pillar also arranges our debt and equity financing with third party lenders and investors.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring matters) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

We consolidate entities in which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or have a majority of the voting interest of the entity. We have determined that we are a primary beneficiary of the VIE when we have (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impacts its economic performance, and (ii) the obligations to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider qualitative and quantitative factors, including ownership interest, management representation, ability to control decision and other contractual rights.

We account for entities in which we have less than a controlling financial interest or entities where we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, we include our share of the net earnings or losses of these entities in our results of operations.

Notes Receivable

At January 1, 2023, we had four notes receivable issued by Unified Housing Foundation, Inc. (“UHF”) with an aggregate balance of $11,173. Each of the notes bore interest at 12.0% and was to mature on December 31, 2032.

On October 1, 2023, we amended the four UHF notes, whereby the four notes were consolidated into a single note and the 12.0% fixed interest rate was replaced with a floating rate indexed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) in effect on the last day of the preceding calendar quarter. The maturity date of the new note is December 31, 2032. In connection with the amendment, $605 of accrued interest was forgiven in exchange for an increased participation in the proceeds from any future refinancing of the underlying property. The interest rate of the new note was 5.38% and 5.31% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

UHF is determined to be a related party due to our significant investment in the performance of the collateral secured by the note receivable. Principal and interest payments on the note are funded from surplus cash flow from operations, sale or refinancing of the underlying property and are cross collateralized to the extent that any surplus cash available from any of other property owned by UHF.

Related Party Transactions

We engage in certain business transactions with related parties, including investment in notes receivables. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on at arm’s length basis due to the absence of free market forces that naturally exist in business dealings between two or more unrelated entities. Related party transactions may not always be favorable to our business and may include terms, conditions and agreements that are not necessarily beneficial to or in our best interest.

Pillar is a wholly owned by a subsidiary of the May Realty Holdings, Inc., which owns approximately 90.8% of ARL, which owns approximately 78.4% of TCI, which owns 82.9% of the Company.

Advisory fees paid to Pillar were $29 and $319 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Notes receivable are amounts held by UHF (See Note 3 – Notes Receivable). UHF is determined to be a related party due to our significant investment in the performance of the collateral secured by the notes receivable. Interest income on these notes was $150 and $331 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Receivables from related parties were $107,272 and $106,541 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively; which represents amounts outstanding advanced to Pillar net of unreimbursed fees (“Pillar Receivable”), which bears interest in accordance with a cash management agreement. On January 1, 2024, an amendment to the cash management agreement changed the interest rate on the Pillar Receivable from prime plus one percent to SOFR. Interest income on related party receivables was $1,436 and $1,535 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Stockholders’ Equity

We have a stock repurchase program that allows for the repurchase of up to 1,650,000 shares of our common stock. This repurchase program has no termination date. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased a total of 32,608 shares in two block transactions for a total of $587.

As of March 31, 2024, there are 524,931 shares remaining that can be repurchased.

Commitments and Contingencies

We believe that we will generate excess cash from property operations in the next twelve months; such excess, however, might not be sufficient to discharge all of our obligations as they become due.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis by management should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) and in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual 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 following:

•

risks associated with the availability and terms of financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments;

•

failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets or to integrate acquisitions successfully;

•

risks associated with downturns in the national and local economies, increases in interest rates and volatility in the securities markets;

•

potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination; and

•

risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.

The risks included here are not exhaustive. 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 in Part I, 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, 2023.

Management’s Overview

We are an externally advised and managed company that invests in notes receivable that are collateralized by income-producing properties in the Southern United States and in the past, real property. Our current principal source of income is interest income on a note receivable from a related party.

We have historically engaged in and may continue to engage in certain business transactions with related parties, including but not limited to asset acquisition, dispositions and financings. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s length basis due to the absence of free market forces that naturally exist in business dealings between two or more unrelated entities. Related party transactions may not always be favorable to our business and may include terms, conditions and agreements that are not necessarily beneficial to or in our best interest.

Our operations are managed by Pillar in accordance with an Advisory Agreement. Pillar’s duties include, but are not limited to, locating, evaluating and recommending investment opportunities. We have no employees. Employees of Pillar render services to us in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement. Pillar is considered to be a related party due to its common ownership with TCI, who is our controlling shareholder.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Some of these estimates and assumptions include judgments on the provisions for uncollectible accounts and fair value measurements. Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our notes to the consolidated financial statements. However, the following policies are deemed to be critical.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We apply the guidance in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, to the valuation of real estate assets. These provisions define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction between market participants at the measurement date, establish a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used in developing fair value estimates and require disclosure of fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3 measurements), such as the reporting entity’s own data.

The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date and includes three levels defined as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical and unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Related Parties

We apply ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”, to evaluate business relationships. Related parties are persons or entities who have one or more of the following characteristics, which include entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, trust for the benefit of persons including principal owners of the entities and members of their immediate families, management personnel of the entity and members of their immediate families and other parties with which the entity may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the decision making of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing our own separate interests, or affiliates of the entity.

Results of Operations

The following discussion is based on our Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated Statement of Operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our net income applicable to common shares. Instead, we have focused on significant fluctuations within our operations that we feel are relevant to obtain an overall understanding of the change in income applicable to common shareholders.

Our operating expenses consist primarily of general and administrative costs such as audit, legal and administrative fees paid to a related party.

We also have other income and expense items including interest income from notes receivable and funds deposited with Pillar.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2024 to the three months ended March 31, 2023:

The increase in net income is primarily due to a decrease in general, administrative and advisory fees offset in part by a decrease in interest income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses. Our principal sources of cash are and will continue to be the collection of mortgage notes receivables, and the collections of receivables and interests from related companies.

We anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024, along with cash that will be generated in the next twelve months from a note receivable, will be sufficient to meet all of our current cash requirements.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

Optional and not included.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on an evaluation by our management (with the participation of our Principal Executive and Financial Officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
