Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, were approximately $3,423,000 compared to approximately $3,819,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.

This decrease was partially offset by an increase of approximately $326,000 of interest income related to the Recourse Obligations, an increase of approximately $67,000 of interest income related to the UDF I LOC and an increase of approximately $476,000 of interest income related to the construction and land development loans to non-related parties due to higher outstanding loan balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in the prior year.
