("ARL") and Income Opportunity Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARL ("IOT Acquisition Sub"). This Schedule TO includes the Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement of ARL and IOT Acquisition Sub. This Tender Offer Statement relates to the offer by IOT Acquisition Sub to purchase any and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IOT") for $19.00 net per share in cash upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated November 15, 2002 and filed as Exhibit (a)(1) to the Schedule TO. The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal (filed as Exhibit (a)(2) to the Schedule TO), including all schedules, exhibits and annexes thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference in response to all items of information required to be included in, or covered by, this Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and all items of information required to be included in, or covered by, the Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement.

ITEM 13. INFORMATION REQUIRED BY SCHEDULE 13E-3. Item 1. Summary Term Sheet is hereby amended as follows: See Item 1 of this Tender Offer Statement. Items 4. Terms of the Transaction is hereby amended as follows: See Item 1 of this Tender Offer Statement. Item 8. Fairness of the Transaction is hereby amended as follows: The following is added after the bullet point on page 24 of the Offer to Purchase: o The ARL board did not consider the liquidation value or the going concern value of IOT in reaching its fairness determination because it did not have available to it a current liquidation analysis of IOT, or any analysis of the going concern value thereof beyond the value assigned by the ongoing market for IOT's shares. Further, the ARL board did not believe that liquidation of IOT was a realistic alternative. o The ARL board did not consider the purchase prices of IOT common stock paid by its affiliates in the prior two years to be a material factor in its fairness determination because the purchases were made in the open market at market prices, the prices paid were below the offer price and the offer price was determined pursuant to the court-approved Settlement Agreement. See "Special Factors - Overview of the Lawsuit and Settlement Agreement that Led to this Tender Offer." o The ARL board was not aware of any firm offers made by any unaffiliated person during the past two years for the merger or consolidation of IOT with any other company, the sale or other transfer of all or any substantial part of the assets of IOT or a purchase of IOT's stock that would enable the holder to exercise control of IOT and, therefore, did not consider any such offers in its fairness determination. o The offer does not require the approval of IOT stockholders. Each stockholder will determine whether to tender or not and the offer is not dependent upon a vote of stockholders. No stockholder will be compelled to sell in the offer. In the event there is a follow-on merger after the expiration of the offer, ARL intends to seek the approval of at least a majority of unaffiliated IOT stockholders. The ARL board believes the offer is procedurally fair despite the absence of approval of at least a majority of stockholders because the terms of the offer were negotiated by Settlement Counsel representing the IOT stockholders as part of the Settlement Agreement and because no stockholder is required to accept the offer. See "Special Factors - Overview of the Lawsuit and Settlement Agreement that Led to this Tender Offer." o The IOT board did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of the unaffiliated stockholders for purposes of negotiating the terms of the offer or preparing a report concerning fairness. The ARL board believes the offer is procedurally fair despite the absence of such a representative because the terms of the offer were negotiated by Settlement Counsel representing the IOT stockholders as part of the Settlement Agreement and because IOT has a board of directors that reviewed and approved the Settlement Agreement. See "Special Factors - Overview of the Lawsuit and Settlement Agreement that Led to this Tender Offer." o The ARL board was aware that BCM may receive fees, currently estimated to be $1,939,000, in connection with the sale of any property that may be sold and loans that may be obtained to finance the purchase of shares in the offer. The ARL board did not consider this fact material when making its determination of fairness because the price was determined in arms-length negotiations with Settlement Counsel representing the IOT stockholders as part of the negotiations that led to the Settlement Agreement. See "Special Factors - Overview of the Lawsuit and Settlement Agreement that Led to this Tender Offer." The words "procedural and substantive" are added before the word "fairness" in the first sentence of the last paragraph on page 24 of the Offer to Purchase. The words "procedurally and substantively" are added before the word "fairness" in the last sentence of the last paragraph on page 24 of the Offer to Purchase.
