During the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, our security monitoring business recognized gains of $1.6 million and $8.1 million, respectively, from a bulk sale of security monitoring accounts in the fiscal 2015, which is included in income from ancillary businesses above. For the year ended October 31, 2014, income from land sales includes $2.9 million of previously deferred gains on our initial sales of the properties to a Rental Property Joint Venture, which sold substantially all of its assets in December 2013. Income from ancillary businesses includes our mortgage, title, landscaping, security monitoring, and golf course and country club operations.

Land sale revenues for the year ended October 31, 2016 includes $38.1 million related to an in substance real estate sale transaction which resulted in a new Rental Property Joint Venture in which we have a 50% interest. Due to our continued involvement in the joint venture through our ownership interest, we deferred 50% of the gain realized on the sale. We will amortize the deferred gain into income using the straight line method over the life of the rental property. Land sale revenues for the year October 31, 2015, include $78.5 million related to property sold to a Home Building Joint Venture in which we have a 25% interest. Due to our continued involvement in the joint venture through our ownership interest and guarantees provided on the joint venture’s debt, we deferred the $9.3 million gain realized on the sale. We are recognizing the gain as units are sold to the ultimate home buyers. See Note 4, “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities,” for more information on these transactions.
