Item 8.01. Other Events

Effective May 12, 2006, Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (the “Registrant” or the “Company” or the “Issuer”) received a conveyance of a four-story office building known as One Hickory Centre, and 202 acres of unimproved real property known as the Travellers Land in Dallas County, Texas in satisfaction of certain indebtedness of the Transferor created in October 2003. During October 2003, the Transferor, which is an affiliate of American Realty Investors, Inc., had executed all inclusive wrap-around promissory notes to purchase such assets. The notes bore interest at 5.49% per annum and provided annually to the Company $1,328,000 in interest income, which was approximately 95% of the net income of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Interest income received by the Company on the notes through May 12, 2006 was $568,081.

The Company reconveyed the One Hickory Centre office building to a subsidiary of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (“TCI”) at a sale price of $12,200,000 (the same amount as the conveyance price to the Company), which eliminated $11,973,025 in indebtedness of the Company and an annual interest expense of $657,319 on the debt eliminated. The Company retains the 202 acres of unimproved land. TCI owns approximately 24% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company.
