Highlight of Business Operations:Rental and other property revenues were $118.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. This represents an increase of $2.2 million as compared to the prior year revenues of $116.1 million. This change, by segment, is an increase in the apartment portfolio of $8.0 million, an increase in the hotel portfolio of $0.1 million, offset by a decrease in the commercial portfolio of $5.9 million. Within the apartment portfolio, the same properties increased by $3.2 million and the developed properties increased by $4.8 million. Within the commercial portfolio, the same properties decreased by $5.9 million due to an increase in vacancy, which we attribute to the current state of the economy. We have directed our efforts to apartment development and put some additional land projects on hold until the economic conditions turn around. We are continuing to market our properties aggressively to attract new tenants and strive for continuous improvement of our properties in order to maintain our existing tenants.
The current year provision for impairment of notes receivable, investment in real estate partnerships, and real estate assets was $49.1 million. This was a decrease of $2.5 million as compared to the prior year expense of $51.6 million. In the current year, impairment was recorded as an additional loss in the investment portfolio of $5.2 million in the apartment properties we currently hold, $5.3 million in commercial properties we currently hold, $21.6 million in land parcels we currently hold, $6.6 million in land that was sold, $0.4 million in impairment on our investments in unconsolidated entities and a $10.0 million reserve related to the assets held by American Realty Trust, Inc. at December 31, 2011. The majority of the impairment losses were taken on the properties that are treated as “subject to sales contract” where, subsequent to the sale to a related party under common control, negotiations have occurred for the property ownership to transfer to the lender and estimated current property values are lower than our current basis. In 2010, impairment was recorded as an additional loss in the investment portfolio of $47.6 million in land we currently hold and a $4.0 million increase in impairment on notes receivable.
