- 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.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operation.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 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, 2024.
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.

- Operating Segments
Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") reviews information to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions. Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer. We operate intwo reportable segments: (i) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily properties ("Residential Segment") and (ii) the acquisition, ownership and management of commercial real estate properties ("Commercial Segment"). The services for our segments include rental of property and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. Asset information by segment is not reported because we do not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources. Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments. General and administrative expenses, advisory fees, interest income and interest expense are not included in segment profit as our internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level.

Windmill Farms is a collection of freshwater districts ("Districts") in Kaufman County Texas that is being developed into single family lots, multifamily properties and retail properties. In connection with the project, we develop the infrastructure in Windmill Farms in order for the land to appreciate and to sell land units (“lots”) to home builders for construction of single family homes.

- Related Party Transactions
We engage in certain business transactions with related parties, including but not limited to asset acquisition and dispositions of real estate. 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.
Pillar and Regis are wholly owned by a subsidiary of May Realty Holdings, Inc. ("MRHI"), which owns appro ximately 90.8% of ARL, which in turn owns approximately 78% of the Company. Pillar is compensated for advisory services in accordance with an advisory agreement and is compensated for development services in accordance with project specific agreements. Regis receives property management fees and leasing commissions in accordance with the terms of its property-level management agreement. In addition, Regis is entitled to receive real estate brokerage commissions in accordance with the terms of a non-exclusive brokerage agreement.

Notes receivable include amounts held by UHF (See Note 9 – Notes Receivable). UHF is deemed to be a related party due to our significant interest in the performance of the collateral secured by the notes receivable. In addition, we have a related party receivable from Pillar ("Pillar Receivable"), which represents amounts advanced to Pillar net of unreimbursed fees, expenses and costs as provided above. The Pillar Receivable bears interest at SOFR as of the last day of the preceding calendar quarter. Interest income on the UHF notes and the Pillar Receivable was $2,517 and $2,692 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
- Noncontrolling Interests
The noncontrolling interest represents the third party ownership interest in Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IOR"). Shares of IOR are listed on the NYSE American stock exchange under the symbol of IOR.
On December 16, 2024, we announced an offer ("Tender Offer") to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the outstanding common shares of IOR at a price of $18 per share, subject to certain conditions. The Tender Offer was completed on January 29, 2025, which resulted in our acquisition of 21,678 shares for a total cost of $454. In addition, we purchased an additional 12,680 common shares of IOR in the open market during thethree months ended March 31, 2025 for a total cost of $225.
We owned approximately 84.0% and 83.2% of IOR at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
- Deferred Income
In previous years, we sold properties to related parties at a gain, and therefore the sales criteria for the full accrual method was not met, and as such, we deferred the gain recognition and accounted for the sales by applying the finance, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate. The gain on these transactions is deferred until the properties are sold to a non-related third party. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had deferred gain of $581.
- Income Taxes
We are part of a tax sharing and compensating agreement with respect to federal income taxes with MRHI, ARL and IOR. In accordance with the agreement, our expense in each year is calculated based on the amount of losses absorbed by taxable income multiplied by the maximum statutory tax rate of 21%.
The following table summarizes our income tax provision:

- 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. We intend to sell income-producing assets, refinance real estate and obtain additional borrowings primarily secured by real estate to meet our liquidity requirements.
We are defendants in litigation related to a property sale ("Nixdorf") that was completed in 2008, which was tried to a jury in March 2023. On March 18, 2023, the jury in the case returned a “Plaintiff take nothing” verdict in our favor. On January 7, 2025, the Fifth District Court of Appeals at Dallas reversed the trial court's judgement and remanded the case to the trial court. We filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus on February 24, 2025 to challenge the entry of the new trial order and are awaiting the appellate court's ruling.
