This represents a significant change from the same period in 2022 when the company reported a net income of $1,814,000. The decrease in net income can be attributed to various factors, including changes in property values and expenses related to the company's operations.

Total revenue for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2023, amounted to $7.3 million. This is a modest increase compared to the revenue of $6.9 million reported for the same period in 2022. The revenue is categorized into two main segments:

FREVS incurred operating expenses amounting to $5.786 million in the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2023. This reflects an increase from the previous year's Q3 operating expenses of $4.962 million.

Financing Costs
The company reported financing costs of $(2.031) million for Q3 2023, compared to $(1.774) million in Q3 2022. The increase in financing costs is attributed to changes in interest rates and the company's debt structure.

FREVS generated investment income of $275,000 in the third quarter of 2023, a significant increase from the $119,000 reported in the same period last year. This increase may be attributed to changes in the company's investment portfolio and income-generating assets.

- Basic EPS: $(0.06)
- Diluted EPS: $(0.06)
These figures indicate a decrease in EPS compared to the same period in 2022. The decline in EPS can be attributed to the net loss reported in the current quarter.
