1. Organization
As used herein, the terms “the Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us” refer to Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc., a Nevada corporation, which was formed in 1984. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “TCI”. We are owned approximately 78 % by American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARL”), whose common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “ARL”, and 7 % by the controlling shareholder of ARL.
Our primary business is the acquisition, development and ownership of income-producing multifamily and commercial properties. In addition, we opportunistically acquire land for future development in in-fill or high-growth suburban markets. From time to time and when we believe it appropriate to do so, we will sell land and income-producing properties. We generate revenues by leasing apartment units to residents, and leasing office, industrial and retail space to various for-profit businesses as well as certain local, state and federal agencies. We also generate income from the sale of land.
Substantially all of our assets are held by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern Properties Capital Ltd. (“SPC”), which was formed for the purpose of raising funds by issuing non-convertible bonds that are listed on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE").
At June 30, 2022, our portfolio of properties consisted of:
● Four office buildings comprising in aggregate of approximately 1,056,793 square feet;
● Eight multifamily properties, owned directly by us, comprising of 1,252 units;
● Approximately 1,847 acres of developed and undeveloped land; and
● Fifty-two multifamily properties, totaling 10,281 units, owned by our joint venture.
Our day to day operations are managed by Pillar Income Asset Management, Inc. (“Pillar”). Their duties include, but are not limited to, locating, evaluating and recommending real estate and real estate-related investment opportunities and arranging debt and equity financing with third party lenders and investors. All of our employees are Pillar employees. Three of our commercial properties are managed by Regis Realty Prime, LLC (“Regis”). Regis provides leasing, construction management and brokerage services. Our multifamily properties are managed by outside management companies. Pillar and Regis are considered to be related parties (See Note 13 – Related Party Transactions).
2. 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, 2021 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, 2021. Certain 2021 consolidated financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

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.
Newly Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The standard provides guidance, optional expedients and exceptions that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The adoption of the standard on January 1, 2022, did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
3. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The following table details our basic and diluted earnings per common share calculation:

10. Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
On November 16, 2018, we formed Victory Abode Apartments, LLC ("VAA"), a joint venture with the Macquarie Group (“Macquarie”). VAA was formed as a result of a sale of the 50 % ownership interest in 51 multifamily properties owned by us in exchange for a 50 % voting interest / 49 % profit participation interest ("Class A interest") in VAA and a note payable (“Mezzanine Loan”). Concurrent with the Contribution, VAA issued Class B interests with a 2 % profits participation interest and no voting rights to Daniel J. Moos, our former President and Chief Executive Officer (“Class B Member”). The Class B Member serves as the Manager of VAA.
Interest on the Mezzanine loan is limited to cash generated from the properties and matures concurrently with the termination of VAA. Accordingly, we account for our interest in the Mezzanine Loan as additional equity interest and include any interest payments accrued as income from unconsolidated joint ventures. In connection with the formation of VAA, ten of the initial properties were subject to an earn-out provision ("Earn Out") that provided for a remeasurement of value after a two-year period following the completion of construction. Upon the formation of VAA, we recorded an initial liability ("Earn Out Obligation") for the $10,000 advance on the Earn Out that we received from Macquarie.
On March 30, 2021, we sold a 50 % ownership interest in Overlook at Allensville Phase II, a 144 unit multifamily property in Sevierville, Tennessee to Macquarie for $2,551 resulting in gain on sale of $1,417 . Concurrent with the sale, we each contributed our 50 % ownership interests in Overlook at Allensville Phase II into VAA.
On July 13, 2021, we received the arbitration result of a dispute regarding the measurement of the Earn Out Obligation. Our position and claims were declined, and the position of Macquarie was fully accepted. As a result, we are required to pay approximately $39,600 to Macquarie to satisfy the Earn Out Obligation, and therefore, recorded a charge of $29,600 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 (See Note 7 – Real Estate Activity). In accordance with the joint venture operating agreement, the Earn Out Obligation will be paid from our share of future distributions from VAA, which generally occur each six months . At June 30, 2022, we owed $27,147 under the Earn Out Obligation. On July 16, 2022, our $10,178 distribution from VAA was paid directly to Macquarie as an additional reduction of the Earn Out Obligation.
On November 17, 2021, we entered into an agreement with Macquarie to pursue a sell forty-five properties ("Sale Portfolio") owned by VAA in accordance with the provisions of the joint venture agreement. The parties further agreed that we would be able to acquire the remaining seven of the properties (“Holdback Properties”) from the joint venture at an agreed upon market price.
On June 17, 2022, VAA entered into an agreement (“PSA”) to sell the Sale Portfolio to two private equity funds (collectively, the “Buyer”) for $1,825,000 . In connection with the transaction, we also plan to sell Sugar Mill Phase III to the Buyer. The PSA provides for an inspection period in which the Buyer may decrease the number of properties acquired by up to five properties. In connection with the PSA, the Buyer deposited $50,000 into escrow. The sale is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2022. VAA intends to distribute the net proceeds and the Holdback Properties to the Members immediately following the completion of the sale.

(1) On March 3, 2022, the loan was extended to February 26, 2023.
(2) On January 14, 2022, the loan was paid off in connection with the sale of the underlying property (See Note 7 - Real Estate Activity).
Interest payable at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was $1,785 and $1,123 , respectively. We capitalized interest of $800 and $1,009 during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1,603 and $1,867 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all of our loan covenants except for the minimum debt service coverage ratio (“DSCR”) for the loan on 770 South Post Oak. As a result, the lender requires us to lock the surplus cash flow of the property (“Cash Trap”) into a designated deposit account controlled by them, until we are in compliance with the DSCR for a period of two consecutive quarters.
All of the above mortgages and other notes payable are collateralized by the underlying property. In addition, we have guaranteed the loans on Athens, Forest Grove, Stanford Center and Villas at Bon Secour.
There are various land mortgages, secured by the property, that are in the process of a modification or extension to the original note due to expiration of the loan. We are working with our existing lenders and new lenders to modify, extend the loans before they become due or refinancing the loans with terms that are similar to the existing agreement.

12. Bonds Payable
We have issued three series of nonconvertible bonds ("Bonds") through SPC, which are traded on the TASE. The Bonds are denominated in New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") and provide for semiannual principal and interest payments through maturity. The Bonds are subject to a number of covenants, which include restrictions on the distribution of cash from SPC.
In connection with the Bonds, we incurred a gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions of $14,132 and $(4,793 ) during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $17,904 and $2,824 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The outstanding balance of our Bonds at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is as follows:

13. 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 an affiliates of the May Realty Holdings, Inc., which also owns approximately 90.8 % of ARL. Pillar is compensated for advisory services in accordance with an agreement. 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.
Rental income includes $223 and $313 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $479 and $555 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for office space leased to Pillar and Regis.
Property operating expense includes $110 and $195 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $227 and $577 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for management fees on commercial properties payable to Regis.
General and administrative expense includes $642 and $694 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1,934 and $2,247 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for employee compensation and other reimbursable costs payable to Pillar.
Advisor fees paid to Pillar were $2,446 and $4,661 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $5,451 and $6,910 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Notes receivable include amounts held by UHF and Pillar (See Note 9 – Notes Receivable). UHF is deemed to be a related party due to our significant investment in the performance of the collateral secured by the notes receivable. In addition, we have receivables from related parties. Interest income on these notes and related party receivables was $4,272 and $3,798 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $8,235 and $7,624 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Interest expense on payable to Pillar was $519 and $400 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $937 and $787 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Related party receivables, net represents the net amounts outstanding from Pillar for loans and advances, net of unreimbursed fees, expenses and costs as provided above.
14. Noncontrolling Interests
15. 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.
On January 29, 2021, UHF sold El Dorado, a 208 unit multifamily property in McKinney, Texas; and Limestone Ranch, a 252 unit multifamily property in Lewisville, Texas; to a non-related third party. As a result of the sale, we recognized a gain of $8,730 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 that had previously been deferred (See Note 7 – Real Estate Activity).
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had deferred gain of $581
16. Income Taxes
We are part of a tax sharing and compensating agreement with respect to federal income taxes with ARL. In accordance with the agreement, our expense (benefit) in each year is calculated based on the amount of losses absorbed by taxable income multiplied by the maximum statutory tax rate of 21%.

17. 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.
In February 2019, Paul Berger ("Berger") filed suit against us and others that alleged that our subsidiary IOR completed improper sales and/or transfers of property. Berger sought to proceed derivatively and directly, requests a payoff of various related party loans to IOR and that IOR then distribute the funds to its stockholders. After discovery and motions to dismiss substantial portions of the complaint, on June 28, 2022, Plaintiff Berger sought to voluntarily dismiss the action for reasons stated in the motion. The parties have not entered into any settlement, and neither Berger nor their counsel has received any consideration for the voluntary dismissal. The parties, through counsel, have stipulated to the dismissal with prejudice. On June 29, 2022, the United States District Court ordered that notice of the dismissal be provided to IOR shareholders. A copy of the required notice was filed as an exhibit to a Form 8-K of IOR for event occurring June 29, 2022 (the date of the Court’s order), and on July 7, 2022, a copy of the required notice was posted on IOR’s website. If no action is taken by one or more other stockholders of IOR prior to August 19, 2022, the Court may enter an order dismissing the Berger case with prejudice.

This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, principally, but not only, under the captions “Business”, “Risk Factors” and “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:
•general risks affecting the real estate industry (including, without limitation, the inability to enter into or renew leases, dependence on tenants’ financial condition, and competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate);
•risks associated with the availability and terms of construction and mortgage financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments;
•demand for apartments and commercial properties in our markets and the effect on occupancy and rental rates;
•our ability to obtain financing, enter into joint venture arrangements in relation to or self-fund the development or acquisition of properties;
•risks associated with the timing and amount of property sales and the resulting gains/losses associated with such sales;
•failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets or to integrate acquisitions successfully
•risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including, without limitation, construction delays, cost overruns, inability to obtain necessary permits and public opposition to such activities);
•risks associated with downturns in the national and local economies, increases in interest rates, and volatility in the securities markets;
•costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other similar laws and regulations;
•potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination;
•risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed; and
•the other risk factors identified in this Form 10-Q, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors.”
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 at Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” Annual Report on Form 10-K, which investors should review.

We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and our property portfolio. While we did not incur significant disruptions during the six months ended June 30, 2022 from the COVID-19 pandemic, our commercial properties have experienced a decline in occupancy. We believe this decline to be temporary and do not expect a significant decrease in rental revenue.
We are unable to predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties. These uncertainties include the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. The pandemic continues to have an impact on the U.S. economy and on the local markets in which our properties are located. Nearly every industry has been impacted directly or indirectly, and the commercial real estate market has come under pressure due to numerous factors, including preventative measures taken by local, state and federal authorities to alleviate the public health crisis such as mandatory business closures, quarantines, and restrictions on travel and “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders.
Management's Overview
We are an externally advised and managed real estate investment company that owns a diverse portfolio of income-producing properties and land held for development throughout the Southern United States. Our portfolio of income-producing properties includes residential apartment communities ("multifamily properties"), office buildings and retail properties ("commercial properties"). Our investment strategy includes acquiring existing income-producing properties as well as developing new properties on land already owned or acquired for a specific development project.
Our operations are managed by Pillar Income Asset Management, Inc. (“Pillar”) in accordance with an Advisory Agreement. 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. 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 American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARL”), who is our controlling shareholder.
The following is a summary of our recent acquisition, disposition, financing and development activities:
Dispositions
•On March 30, 2021, we sold a 50% ownership interest in Overlook at Allensville Phase II, a 144 unit multifamily property in Sevierville, Tennessee to Macquarie for $2.6 million resulting in gain on sale of $1.4 million. Concurrent with the sale, we each contributed our 50% ownership interests in Overlook at Allensville Phase II into VAA.
•On August 26, 2021, we sold 600 Las Colinas, a 512,173 square foot office building in Irving, Texas for $74.8 million, resulting in gain on sale of $27.3 million. We used the proceeds to pay off the mortgage note payable on the property (See "Financing Activities") and for general corporate purposes.
•During the year ended December 31, 2021, we sold a total of 134.7 acres of land from our holdings in Windmill Farms for $20.2 million, in aggregate, resulting in gains on sale of $10.3 million. In addition, we sold 14.1 acres of land from our holdings in Mercer Crossing for $9.0 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $6.4 million.
•On January 14, 2022, we sold Toulon, a 240 unit multifamily property in Gautier, Mississippi for $26.8 million, resulting in gain on sale of $9.4 million. We used the proceeds to pay off the $14.7 million mortgage note payable on the property and for general corporate purposes.
•On May 17, 2022, we sold Fruitland Park, a 6,722 square foot commercial building in Fruitland Park, Florida for $0.8 million, resulting in gain on sale of $0.7 million. We used the proceeds for general corporate purposes.
•During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold a total of 26.9 acres of land from our holdings in Windmill Farms for $5.1 million, in aggregate, resulting in gains on sale of $4.2 million.
21
Financing Activities
•On March 2, 2021, we extended our $1.2 million loan on Athens to August 28, 2022.
•On March 4, 2021, we extended the maturity of our loan on Windmill Farms until February 28, 2023 at a reduced interest rate of 5%.
•On August 25, 2021, we replaced the existing loan on Villas at Bon Secour with a new $20.0 million loan that bears interest at 3.08% and matures on September 1, 2031.
•On August 26, 2021, we paid off the $35.9 million loan on 600 Las Colinas in connection with the sale of the underlying property (See "Dispositions").
•On January 14, 2022, the loan on Toulon was paid off in connection with the sale of the underlying property (See "Dispositions").
•On March 3, 2022, the loan on Stanford Center was extended to February 26, 2023.
Development Activities
During 2021, we spent $14.0 million on our ongoing development of Windmill Farms. Our expenditure includes $1.1 million on the development of land lots for sale to single family home developers and $13.0 million on reimbursable infrastructure investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we spent $2.8 million on our ongoing development of Windmill Farms. Our expenditure includes $1.2 million on the development of land lots for sale to single family home developers and $1.7 million on reimbursable infrastructure investments.
We have investment in nine notes receivable that were issued to fund the development of multifamily properties. As of June 30, 2022, one of the projects was in construction, two were in lease-up and six were stabilized. In 2022, we advanced $1.0 million on these development notes. Each of these notes are convertible, at our option, into a 100% ownership interest in the underlying property.
Other Developments:
During 2021, we recorded a loss of $29.6 million on the remeasurements of certain assets ("Earn Out Obligation") that were sold in connection with our investment in VAA.
On November 17, 2021, we entered into an agreement with Macquarie to pursue a sale of the properties of VAA in accordance with the provisions of the joint venture agreement. The parties further agreed that the Company would be able to acquire seven of the properties (“Holdback Properties”) from the joint venture at an agreed upon market price.
On June 17, 2022, VAA entered into an agreement (“PSA”) to sell forty-five properties to two private equity funds (collectively, the “Buyer”) for $1.8 billion. In connection with the sale, we plan to see Sugar Mill Phase III to the Buyer. The PSA provides for an inspection period in which the Buyer may decrease the number the properties acquired by up to five properties. In connection with the PSA, the Buyer deposited $50.0 million into escrow. The sale is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2022. VAA intends to distribute the net proceeds and the Holdback Properties to the Members immediately following the completion of the sale.
Our ownership interest in VAA is held by SPC, and is therefore subject to the bond covenants of the three series of bonds that have been issued by SPC. These provisions include restrictions on the distribution of cash from SPC (See Note 12 - Bonds Payable in our consolidated financial statements).
22
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 revenue recognition, estimates for common area maintenance and real estate tax accruals, provisions for uncollectible accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, the allocation of purchase price between tangible and intangible assets, capitalization of costs 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 in the Annual Report. 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
Many of the variations in the results of operations, discussed below, occurred because of the transactions affecting our properties described above, including those related to the Lease-Up Properties and the Disposition Properties (each as defined below).
For purposes of the discussion below, we define "Same Properties" as those properties that are substantially leased-up and in operation for the entirety of both periods of the comparison. Non-Same Properties for comparison purposes include those properties that have been recently constructed or leased-up (“Lease-up Properties”) and properties that have been disposed of ("Disposition Properties"). A developed property is considered leased-up, when it achieves occupancy of 80% or more.We move a property in and out of Same Properties based on whether the property is substantially leased-up and in operation for the entirety of both periods of the comparison. Accordingly, the Same Properties consist of all properties, excluding the Lease-up Properties and the Disposition Properties for the periods of comparison.
23
For the comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Lease-up Properties are Forest Grove, Parc at Denham Springs Phase II and Sugar Mill Phase III; and the Disposition Properties are Overlook at Allensville Phase II, 600 Las Colinas and Toulon.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2022 to the three months ended June 30, 2021:
Our $47.2 million increase in net income during the three months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily attributed to the following:
•The decrease in profit from the multifamily and commercial segments is due to the Disposition Properties.
•The decrease in general, administrative and advisory expenses is primarily due to the decrease legal costs from the arbitration settlement in 2021 (See "Other Developments" in Management's Overview).
•The decrease in interest expense, net is primarily due to a $1.4 million decrease in interest from mortgage notes payables from the Disposition Properties.
•The increase in gain on foreign currency transactions is due to favorable changes in the U.S. Dollar and the New Israeli Shekel conversion rate.
•The change in gain (loss) on sale or write down of assets is primarily due to the arbitration settlement of Earn Out Obligation in 2021 (See "Other Developments" in Management's Overview).
•The decrease in income from joint ventures is primarily due an increase in the liquidation liability owed by VAA upon completion of the planned sale of its property portfolio (See "Other Developments" in Management's Overview).
24
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2022 to the six months ended June 30, 2021:
Our $38.9 million increase in net income during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily attributed to the following:
•The decrease in profit the multifamily and commercial segments is due to the Disposition Properties.
•The decrease in general, administrative and advisory expenses is primarily due to the decrease legal costs from the arbitration settlement in 2021 (See "Other Developments" in Management's Overview).
•The decrease in interest expense is primarily due a decrease in the amount of bonds outstanding in 2021.
•The loss on extinguishment of debt is due to the early pay off of the mortgage note payable on Toulon in connection with sale of the underlying property (See "Dispositions" and "Financing Activities" in Management's Overview).
•The increase in gain on foreign currency transactions is due to a favorable change in the U.S. Dollar and the New Israeli Shekel conversion rate.
•The change in gain (loss) on sale or write down of assets is primarily due to the arbitration settlement of Earn Out Obligation in 2021 (See "Other Developments" in Management's Overview) offset in part by the gain on the sale of Toulon in 2022.
•The decrease in income from joint ventures is primarily due an increase in the liquidation liability owed by VAA as a result of the planned sale of its properties (See "Other Developments" in Management's Overview) offset in part by an increase in occupancy of the lease-up properties held by the joint venture.
•The decrease in other income relates to the recovery of bad debts in 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of cash have been, and will continue to be, property operations; proceeds from land and income-producing property sales; collection of notes receivable; refinancing of existing mortgage notes payable; and additional borrowings, including mortgage notes and bonds payable, and lines of credit.
Our principal liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses; meet debt service and principal repayment obligations including balloon payments on maturing debt; fund capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing costs; fund development costs not covered under construction loans; and fund possible property acquisitions.
We anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022, along with cash that will be generated in the remainder of 2022 from notes and interest receivables, will be sufficient to meet all of our cash requirements. We may selectively sell land and income-producing assets, refinance or extend real estate debt and seek additional borrowings secured by real estate to meet our liquidity requirements. Although history cannot predict the future, historically, we have been successful at refinancing and extending a portion of our current maturity obligations.
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows in our consolidated financial statements, and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below (dollars in thousands):
| Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||||

| Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities | $ | (7,517) | $ | 449 | $ | (7,966) | |||||||||||

| Net cash used in financing activities | $ | (39,839) | $ | (48,453) | $ | 8,614 | |||||||||||
The change in cash from operating activities is primarily due to the decrease in distributions of income from unconsolidated joint venture and a decrease in account payable in 2022.
25
The decrease in cash provided by investing activities is primarily due the net redemption of short term investments in 2022 and an increase in proceeds from the sale of assets, offset in part by decrease in collection of notes receivable and a decrease in distribution from joint venture in 2022.
The decrease in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to the $9.2 million decrease in bond payments in 2022.
Funds From Operations ("FFO")
We use FFO in addition to net income to report our operating and financial results and considers FFO and FFO-diluted as supplemental measures for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, impairment write-downs of real estate and write-downs of investments in an affiliate where the write-downs have been driven by a decrease in the value of real estate held by the affiliate and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We also present FFO excluding the impact of the effects of foreign currency transactions.
FFO and FFO on a diluted basis are useful to investors in comparing operating and financial results between periods. This is especially true since FFO excludes real estate depreciation and amortization, as we believe real estate values fluctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. We believe that such a presentation also provides investors with a meaningful measure of our operating results in comparison to the operating results of other real estate companies. In addition, we believe that FFO excluding gain (loss) from foreign currency transactions provide useful supplemental information regarding our performance as they show a more meaningful and consistent comparison of our operating performance and allows investors to more easily compare our results.
We believe that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as defined by GAAP, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. We also caution that FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate companies.
We compensate for the limitations of FFO by providing investors with financial statements prepared according to GAAP, along with this detailed discussion of FFO and a reconciliation of net income to FFO and FFO-diluted. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.
The following table reconciles net income (loss) attributable to the Company to FFO and FFO adjusted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (dollars and shares in thousands):

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.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In February 2019, Paul Berger ("Berger") filed suit against us and others that alleged that our subsidiary IOR completed improper sales and/or transfers of property. Berger sought to proceed derivatively and directly, requests a payoff of various related party loans to IOR and that IOR then distribute the funds to its stockholders. After discovery and motions to dismiss substantial portions of the complaint, on June 28, 2022, Plaintiff Berger sought to voluntarily dismiss the action for reasons stated in the motion. The parties have not entered into any settlement, and neither Berger nor their counsel has received any consideration for the voluntary dismissal. The parties, through counsel, have stipulated to the dismissal with prejudice. On June 29, 2022, the United States District Court ordered that notice of the dismissal be provided to IOR shareholders. A copy of the required notice was filed as an exhibit to a Form 8-K of IOR for event occurring June 29, 2022 (the date of the Court’s order), and on July 7, 2022, a copy of the required notice was posted on IOR’s website. If no action is taken by one or more other stockholders of IOR prior to August 19, 2022, the Court may enter an order dismissing the Berger case with prejudice.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2021 10-K. For a discussion on these risk factors, please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in the 2021 10-K.
Risks Related to COVID-19 Pandemic
We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and our property portfolio. While we did not incur significant disruptions during the six months ended June 30, 2022 from the COVID-19 pandemic, our commercial properties have experienced a decline in occupancy. We are unable to predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties. These uncertainties include the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Nearly every industry has been impacted directly or indirectly, and the commercial real estate market has come under pressure due to numerous factors, including preventative measures taken by local, state and federal authorities to alleviate the public health crisis such as mandatory business closures, quarantines, and restrictions on travel and “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders. The future impact of COVID-19 on our business and financial activities will depend on future developments, which at this stage are unpredictable considering the fluctuations of COVID-19 outbreaks and the resulting changes in the markets.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
We have a program that allows for the repurchase of up to 1,637,000 shares of our common stock. This repurchase program has no termination date. There were no shares purchased under this program during the six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, 1,230,535 shares have been purchased and 406,465 shares may be purchased under the program.
