The financial statements of the Corporation for fiscal years 2014 and 2013 include the operating results of BluMont Capital to the date of sale in December 2013, but they are separated and classified as "discontinued operations"; the remaining operations of IAM are classified as "continuing operations". In the table above, revenues and EBITDA exclude the revenues and EBITDA of BluMont Capital.

In aggregate, AUM of $1.9 billion at September 30, 2014 was similar to that of the prior year end. AUM in IAM Private Debt decreased approximately $150 million in fiscal 2014 due to the distribution to investors of routine principal repayments received on loans in the private debt funds and also due to some early prepayments of loans. AUM in IAM Real Estate increased approximately $90 million in fiscal 2014 due to the closing of a new fund raising $135 million of commitments. This increase was partially offset by the monetization of a fund in the fiscal year and the distribution of the proceeds to the institutional investors. This monetization resulted in the realization of a performance fee of approximately $3.6 million from the Corporation.

John Robertson, Chief Executive Officer said, "Our two core businesses, IAM Private Debt and IAM Real Estate, are profitable and enjoy stable, predictable cash flows. It is our intention to expand these businesses further, both by raising new core funds and by launching new products. We are also actively seeking acquisitions of complementary, related businesses. We are well positioned to fund growth and acquisitions."
