Financial Results

Rental revenues increased $1.0 million from $11.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 to $12.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in rental revenue is primarily due to $0.9 million increase at our multifamily properties and $0.1 million at the commercial properties. The increase in revenue from the multifamily properties is primarily due to the acquisition of the VAA Holdback Portfolio in 2022.

Net operating income decreased $2.6 million from net operating income of $0.5 million for three months ended December 31, 2022 to net operating loss of $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in net operating income is primarily due to an increase of $2.7 million in property operating and depreciation expenses offset in part by the $1.0 million increase in rental revenue as noted above and a decrease of $0.6 million in general administrative and advisory expenses. The increase in property and depreciation expenses is due to the acquisition of the VAA Holdback Portfolio.

Net income attributable to the Company decreased $61.5 million from net income of $58.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 to net loss of $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in net income is primarily attributed to a $74.7 million decrease in gain on sale, remeasurement or write down of assets offset in part by a decrease of $15.8 million increase in our tax provision. The decrease in gain on our sale or write down of assets and our tax provision is due to the remeasurement of the VAA Holdback Portfolio that was acquired in 2022.
