This segment consists of four office buildings with approximately 1,001,549 rentable square feet. Rental revenue represented 92.7% of total revenue at $46.4 million, with the remaining $3.6 million from other income sources.
The company's operating margin remained negative due to high operating expenses relative to revenue. Total operating expenses were $56.4 million, exceeding total revenue of $50.0 million and resulting in a net operating loss of $6.4 million. Property operating expenses accounted for $27.9 million, depreciation and amortization was $12.6 million, general and administrative expenses were $6.5 million, and advisory fees to related parties were $9.5 million. Interest income of $14.6 million and the $20.0 million gain on real estate transactions were critical to achieving profitability. The income tax provision was $2.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 12.7%.
Operating cash flow was negative $5.6 million, primarily due to changes in working capital items including a $10.1 million increase in other assets and a $6.0 million increase in related party receivables. Investing activities used $33.1 million in cash, with $79.5 million spent on development and renovation of real estate, partially offset by $89.4 million in redemptions of short-term investments and $34.8 million from asset sales. Financing activities provided $27.5 million, mainly from $63.8 million in new mortgage proceeds. The balance sheet shows total assets of $1.10 billion, including real estate of $602.4 million, notes receivable of $142.4 million, and cash equivalents of $14.2 million. Total liabilities were $277.6 million, resulting in total equity of $819.7 million.
The company faces several risk factors including competition in real estate markets, potential reduced demand for office space due to remote work trends, and exposure to cyber security threats. Management intends to sell income-producing assets, refinance real estate, and obtain additional borrowings to meet liquidity requirements. The company continues development activities with projects including Alera, Bandera Ridge, Merano, and Mountain Creek multifamily properties. Real estate investments remain concentrated in the Southern United States, making performance dependent on regional economic conditions. The company had $214.4 million in mortgages and notes payable, with $123.6 million insured by HUD, representing 58% of mortgage notes payable.
