Third Quarter 2014 Operational Highlights
·

o

·  
Net increase in loan investments from 29 to 34 with an average loan balance of $1,830,000

“We are pleased with the positive results achieved in the third quarter,” said William Owens, the Company’s Chairman and CEO. “We remain focused on growing the loan portfolio and maximizing the value of our real estate assets. We completed eight new loan transactions and made substantial progress on our development projects at Lake Tahoe and Miami. We expect to continue increasing our loan investment portfolio in the near-term as we continue to position certain real estate assets in our portfolio for sale beginning in the second quarter of 2015.”
 
Summary of Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results
The Company reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $783,823, or $0.07 per basic and diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 as compared to a net income of $701,074, or $0.06 per basic and diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily a result of:

·  
An increase in interest income on loans of $649,000 primarily due to an increase in the average balance of performing loans of approximately 23% and an increase in interest income collected on delinquent/impaired loans of approximately $350,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 2013;
·  
An increase in rental and other income from real estate properties of $375,000 primarily due to increased rental rates and/or occupancy on certain of our properties and increased income from properties obtained via foreclosure in 2013 and 2014, net of reduced revenue as a result of the sale of three operating properties during 2013.

 
 

 
The increases in income were partially offset by the following:

·  
An increase in provision for loan losses of $538,000 from a reversal of $420,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 to a provision of $118,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company increased the general allowance by $110,000 due to an increase in the balance of non-delinquent loans during the quarter and increased the specific allowance by $8,000 on two impaired loans. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company decreased the general allowance by $409,000 due to a decrease in the historical loss factor utilized and decreased the specific allowance by $11,000;
·  
An increase in impairment losses on real estate of $124,000 as a result of a reduction in the fair market value recently estimated by management on one property held for sale during the quarter ended September 30, 2014;
·  
An increase in interest expense of $209,000 due to interest incurred on the Company’s new lines of credit and the amortization of deferred financing costs on the lines of credit to interest expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2014; and
·  
A decrease in gain on sale of real estate of $139,000. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, one improved, residential lot was sold for $175,000, resulting in a gain of $105,000. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, one office condominium unit was sold and deferred gains were recognized on a property sold during the second quarter of 2013 in the total amount of $252,000.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from Operations

We utilize supplemental non-GAAP measures of operating performance, including funds from operations (“FFO”), an industry-wide standard measure of REIT operating performance. We believe FFO provides investors with additional information concerning our operating performance and a basis to compare our performance with that of other REITs. We determine FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), plus depreciation and amortization of real estate and other assets, amortization of deferred financing costs, impairments of real estate assets, provisions for loan losses and losses from sales of real estate, reduced by gains from sales of real estate and foreclosure of loans, accretion of discounts on loans and extraordinary items, and after adjustments for unconsolidated ventures.

 
 

 
Our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other REITs. This nonGAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of our operating performance or to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of liquidity, nor is it indicative of cash flows from operating and financial activities.

We urge investors to carefully review the GAAP financial information included as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and quarterly earnings releases.

The following table reconciles FFO to comparable GAAP financial measures:
