Financial Results

Rental revenues increased $0.3 million from $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in rental revenue is primarily due to $0.7 million increase at our multifamily properties offset in part by a decrease of $0.4 million from the commercial properties. The increase in revenue from the multifamily properties is primarily due to the lease-up of Landing on Bayou Cane.

Net operating loss decreased $1.6 million from $3.1 million for three months ended March 31, 2023 to $1.5 millionfor the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in net operating loss is primarily due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses associated with our bonds payable, which were repaid in 2023.

Net income attributable to common shares decreased $1.2 million from $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in net income is primarily attributed to a decrease in interest income and gain in foreign currency transactions offset in part by a decrease in net operating loss and interest expense.
