NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES:
Description of the Business
The InterGroup Corporation, a Delaware
corporation, (“InterGroup” or the “Company”) was formed to buy, develop, operate and dispose of real property
and to engage in various investment activities to benefit the Company and its shareholders.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company
had the power to vote 86.1% of the voting shares of Santa Fe Financial Corporation (“Santa Fe”), a public company
(OTCBB: SFEF). This percentage includes the power to vote an approximately 4% interest in the common stock in Santa Fe owned by
the Company’s Chairman and President pursuant to a voting trust agreement entered into on June 30, 1998.
Santa Fe’s primary
business is conducted through the management of its 68.8% owned subsidiary, Portsmouth Square, Inc. (“Portsmouth”),
a public company (OTCBB: PRSI). Portsmouth has a 93.3% limited partnership interest in Justice and is the sole general partner.
InterGroup also directly owns approximately 13.4% of the common stock of Portsmouth.
Justice, through its subsidiaries
Justice Operating Company, LLC (“Operating”) and Justice Mezzanine Company, LLC (“Mezzanine”), owns a
544-room hotel property located at 750 Kearny Street, San Francisco California, known as the Hilton San Francisco Financial District
(the “Hotel”) and related facilities including a five-level underground parking garage. Kearny Street Parking LLC
(“Parking”) is the operator of the garage. Mezzanine is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership; Operating is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mezzanine. Mezzanine is the borrower under certain mezzanine indebtedness of Justice, and in December
2013, the Partnership conveyed ownership of the Hotel to Operating. The Hotel is operated by the partnership as a full-service
Hilton brand hotel pursuant to a Franchise License Agreement with HLT Franchise Holding LLC (Hilton). Justice had a ten-year management
agreement with Prism Hospitality L.P. (“Prism”) to perform certain management functions for the Hotel. Prism’s
management agreement was terminated upon its expiration date of February 3, 2017. Effective December 1, 2013, GMP Management,
Inc. (“GMP”), a company owned by a Justice limited partner and a related party, also provided management services
for the Partnership pursuant to a management services agreement, with a three-year term, subject to the Partnership’s right
to terminate earlier for cause. In June 2016, GMP resigned. On February 1, 2017, Justice entered into a Hotel management agreement
(“HMA”) with Interstate Management Company, LLC (“Interstate”) to manage the Hotel with an effective takeover
date of February 3, 2017. The term of management agreement is for an initial period of 10 years commencing on the takeover date
and automatically renews for an additional year not to exceed five years in the aggregate subject to certain conditions. The HMA
also provides for Interstate to advance a key money incentive fee to the Hotel for capital improvements in the form of a self-exhausting,
interest free note payable in the amount of $2,000,000 in a separate key money agreement. The $2,000,000 is included in restricted
cash balances in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and 2018. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, unamortized portion
of the key money was $1,896,000 and $2,000,000, respectively, and are included in related party and other notes payable in the
consolidated balance sheets.
In addition to the operations of
the Hotel, the Company also generates income from the ownership of real estate. Properties include apartment complexes, commercial
real estate, and three single-family houses as strategic investments. The properties are located throughout the United States,
but are concentrated in Texas and Southern California. The Company also has investments in unimproved real property. All of the
Company’s residential rental properties are managed in-house.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and Santa Fe. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Investment
in Hotel, Net
Property and equipment are stated
at cost. Building improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives ranging from 3 to 39 years. Furniture,
fixtures, and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years.
Repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense as incurred. Costs of significant renewals and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of its
remaining estimated useful life or life of the asset. The cost of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation
are removed from the accounts; any resulting gain or loss is included in other income (expenses).
The Company reviews property and
equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). If the carrying amount of the asset,
including any intangible assets associated with that asset, exceeds its estimated undiscounted net cash flow, before interest,
the Partnership will recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between its carrying amount and its estimated fair value.
If impairment is recognized, the reduced carrying amount of the asset will be accounted for as its new cost. For a depreciable
asset, the new cost will be depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life. Generally, fair values are estimated using
discounted cash flow, replacement cost or market comparison analyses. The process of evaluating for impairment requires estimates
as to future events and conditions, which are subject to varying market and economic factors. Therefore, it is reasonably possible
that a change in estimate resulting from judgments as to future events could occur which would affect the recorded amounts of
the property. No impairment losses were recorded for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
Investment in Real Estate, Net
Rental properties are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of rental property is provided on the straight-line method based upon estimated
useful lives of 5 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 5 to 10 years for equipment. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance
are charged to expense as incurred and major improvements are capitalized.
The Company also reviews its rental
property assets for impairment. No impairment losses on the investment in real estate have been recorded for the years ended June
30, 2019 and 2018.
The fair value of the tangible assets
of an acquired property, which includes land, building and improvements, is determined by valuing the property as if they were
vacant, and incorporates costs during the lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar
leases such lost rental revenue and tenant improvements. The value of tangible assets is depreciated using straight-line method
based upon the assets estimated useful lives.
Investment in Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are stated
at fair value as determined by the most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. Marketable securities
are classified as trading securities with all unrealized gains and losses on the Company's investment portfolio recorded through
the consolidated statements of operations.
Other Investments, Net
Other investments include non-marketable
securities (carried at cost, net of any impairments loss) and non-marketable debt instruments. The Company has no significant
influence or control over the entities that issue these investments. These investments are reviewed on a periodic basis for other-than-temporary
impairment. The Company reviews several factors to determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary. These factors include but
are not limited to: (i) the length of time an investment is in an unrealized loss position, (ii) the extent to which fair value
is less than cost, (iii) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer and (iv) our ability to hold the investment
for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. For the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018,
the Company recorded impairment losses related to other investments of $98,000 and $200,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2019
and 2018, the allowance for impairment losses was $6,367,000 and $6,269,000, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased and are carried at cost, which approximates
fair value. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company does not have any cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is comprised of
amounts held by lenders for payment of real estate taxes, insurance, replacement and capital addition reserves for the Hotel.
It also includes key money received from Interstate that is restricted for capital improvements.
Other Assets,
Net
Other assets include prepaid insurance,
accounts receivable, franchise fees, tax refund receivable, and other miscellaneous assets. Franchise fees are stated at cost
and amortized over the life of the agreement (15 years).
Accounts receivable from the Hotel
and rental property customers are carried at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based on management’s
assessment of the collectability of accounts receivable. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers but mitigates the
associated credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers.
Due to Securities Broker
The Company may utilize margin for
its marketable securities purchases through the use of standard margin agreements with national brokerage firms. Various securities
brokers have advanced funds to the Company for the purchase of marketable securities under standard margin agreements. These advanced
funds are recorded as a liability.
Obligation for Securities Sold
Obligation for securities sold represents
the fair market value of shares sold with the promise to deliver that security at some future date and the fair market value of
shares underlying the written call options with the obligation to deliver that security when and if the option is exercised. The
obligation may be satisfied with current holdings of the same security or by subsequent purchases of that security. Unrealized
gains and losses from changes in the obligation are included in the statement of operations.
Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities
Accounts payable and other liabilities
include trade payables, advance customer deposits, accrued wages, accrued real estate taxes, and other liabilities.
Treasury Stock
The Company records the acquisition
of treasury stock under the cost method. During the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company purchased 33,601 and 25,527
shares of treasury stock, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards for fair value measurement establishes a hierarchy for
inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by
requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would
use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable
inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing
the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into
three levels based on the observability of inputs as follows:
Level 1–inputs to the
valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2–inputs to the
valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable
for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3–inputs
to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
Revenue Recognition
On July 1, 2018, we adopted ASC
606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective approach to all contracts resulting in no cumulative
adjustment to accumulated deficit. The adoption of this standard did not impact the timing of our revenue recognition based
on the short-term, day-to-day nature of our operations. See Note 2 – Revenue.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as
incurred and are included in Hotel operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs were $282,000
and $302,000 for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are calculated
under the liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on differences between the financial statement
and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the current enacted tax rates. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities
are included as a component of income tax expense. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities attributable to changes
in enacted tax rates are charged or credited to income tax expense in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are established
for certain deferred tax assets where realization is not likely.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government
enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act
significantly revises the future ongoing corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates. As
the Company has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate was phased in, resulting in a statutory federal
rate of approximately 28% for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, and 21% for subsequent fiscal years. The decrease in corporate
tax rate reduced the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities to the lower federal base rate of 21%. As a result, a
provisional net credit of $404,000 was included in the income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 2018.
Assets and liabilities are established
for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not
meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold based on the technical merits of the positions.
Earnings Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed
by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The computation
of diluted net income per share is similar to the computation of basic net income per share except that the weighted-average number
of common shares is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential
dilutive common shares had been issued. The Company's only potentially dilutive common shares are stock options.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires the use of estimates
and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to the
recording of allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for impairment losses which are based on management’s assessment
of the collectability of accounts receivable and the fair market value of nonmarketable securities, respectively, as of the end
of the fiscal year. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs related to a
recognized debt liability are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the
debt liability and are amortized over the life of the debt. Loan amortization costs are included in interest expense in the consolidated
statement of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which amends the existing accounting
standards for revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The FASB also agreed to allow
entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards
Update No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue
Gross versus Net) (ASU 2016-08) which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The guidance
includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred
to the customers. The new standard permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full
retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date
of initial application (the modified retrospective method). We applied the modified retrospective transition method to all contracts
upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09 effective July 1, 2018. We provided the additional required disclosures, but the cumulative adjustment
from our comparative periods was zero in our consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 – Revenue.
In November 2016, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, Restricted Cash.
ASU 2016-18 requires companies to include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when
reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Additionally, ASU 2016-18
requires a disclosure of a reconciliation between the statement of financial position and the statement of cash flows when the
balance sheet includes more than one line item for cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents. ASU
2016-18 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied
retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 effective July 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-18
impacted the presentation of cash flows with inclusion of restricted cash flows for each of the presented periods.
In February 2016, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in Leases (Topic
840) and generally requires all leases, including operating leases, to be recognized in the statement of financial position as
right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by lessees. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are to be applied using a modified retrospective
approach and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. We adopted ASU
2016-02 on July 1, 2019. The Company is currently reviewing the effect of ASU No. 2016-02.
On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued
ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.”
This ASU modifies the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology,
which will result in the timelier recognition of losses. ASU No. 2016-13 will be effective for us as of January 1, 2020. The Company
is currently reviewing the effect of ASU No. 2016-13.
NOTE 2 - REVENUE

Performance obligations
We identified the following performance
obligations for which revenue is recognized as the respective performance obligations are satisfied, which results in recognizing
the amount we expect to be entitled to for providing the goods or services:
•
|
Cancelable room reservations or ancillary services
are typically satisfied as the good or service is transferred to the hotel guest, which is generally when the room stay occurs.
|
|
|
•
|
Noncancelable room reservations and banquet or conference reservations
represent a series of distinct goods or services provided over time and satisfied as each distinct good or service is
provided, which is reflected by the duration of the room reservation.
|
|
|
•
|
Other ancillary goods and services are purchased independently of the
room reservation at standalone selling prices and are considered separate performance obligations, which are satisfied when
the related good or service is provided to the hotel guest.
|
|
|
•
|
Components of package reservations for which each component could be
sold separately to other hotel guests are considered separate performance obligations and are satisfied as set forth above.
|
Hotel revenue primarily consists
of hotel room rentals, revenue from accommodations sold in conjunction with other services (e.g., package reservations), food
and beverage sales and other ancillary goods and services (e.g., parking). Revenue is recognized when rooms are occupied or goods
and services have been delivered or rendered, respectively. Payment terms typically align with when the goods and services are
provided. For package reservations, the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations within the package based
on the estimated standalone selling prices of each component.
We do not disclose the value of
unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an expected length of one year or less. Due to the nature of our business,
our revenue is not significantly impacted by refunds. Cash payments received in advance of guests staying at our hotel are refunded
to hotel guests if the guest cancels within the specified time period, before any services are rendered. Refunds related to service
are generally recognized as an adjustment to the transaction price at the time the hotel stay occurs or services are rendered.
Contract assets and liabilities
We do not have any material contract
assets as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, other than trade and other receivables, net on our consolidated balance
sheets. Our receivables are primarily the result of contracts with customers, which are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts
that reflects our estimate of amounts that will not be collected.
We record contract liabilities when
cash payments are received or due in advance of guests staying at our hotel, which are presented within accounts payable
and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities increased to $1,215,000 as of June 30,
2019 from $571,000 as of June 30, 2018. The increase for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 was
primarily driven by deposits received from upcoming groups, offset by $563,000 revenue recognized that was included in the advanced
deposits balance as of June 30, 2018.
Contract costs
We consider sales commissions earned
to be incremental costs of obtaining a contract with our customers. As a practical expedient, we expense these costs as incurred
as our contracts with customers are less than one year.
NOTE 3 - JUSTICE INVESTORS
Justice Investors Limited Partnership,
a California limited partnership (“Justice” or the “Partnership”), was formed in 1967 to acquire real
property in San Francisco, California, for the development and lease of the Hotel and related facilities. The Partnership has
one general partner, Portsmouth Square, Inc., a California corporation (“Portsmouth”) and approximately 23 voting
limited partners, including Portsmouth.
Management believes that the revenues
and cash flows expected to be generated from the operations of the Hotel, garage and leases will be sufficient to meet all of
the Partnership’s current and future obligations and financial requirements. Management also believes that there is significant
appreciated value in the Hotel property in excess of the net book value to support additional borrowings, if necessary.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The carrying values of the Company’s
financial instruments not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis approximate fair value due to their short
maturities (i.e., accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and other liabilities, due to securities broker and obligations
for securities sold) or the nature and terms of the obligation (i.e., other notes payable and mortgage notes payable). The assets
measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

The fair values of investments in
marketable securities are determined by the most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date.
Financial assets that are measured
at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are not included in the tables above include “Other investments in non-marketable
securities,” that were initially measured at cost and have been written down to fair value as a result of impairment or
adjusted to record the fair value of new instruments received (i.e., preferred shares) in exchange for old instruments (i.e.,
debt instruments). The following table shows the fair value hierarchy for these assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring
basis as follows:

For fiscal years ended June 30,
2019 and 2018, we received distribution from other non-marketable investments of $103,000 and $131,000, respectively.
Other investments in non-marketable
securities are carried at cost net of any impairment loss. The Company has no significant influence or control over the entities
that issue these investments. These investments are reviewed on a periodic basis for other-than-temporary impairment. When determining
the fair value of these investments on a non-recurring basis, the Company uses valuation techniques such as the market approach
and the unobservable inputs include factors such as conversion ratios and the stock price of the underlying convertible instruments.
The Company reviews several factors to determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary. These factors include but are not limited
to: (i) the length of time an investment is in an unrealized loss position, (ii) the extent to which fair value is less than cost,
(iii) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer and (iv) our ability to hold the investment for a period of
time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

NOTE 11 - MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE
On December 18, 2013: (i) Justice
Operating Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Operating”), entered into a loan agreement (“Mortgage
Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America (“Mortgage Lender”); and (ii) Justice Mezzanine Company, a Delaware limited
liability company (“Mezzanine”), entered into a mezzanine loan agreement (“Mezzanine Loan Agreement” and,
together with the Mortgage Loan Agreement, the “Loan Agreements”) with ISBI San Francisco Mezz Lender LLC (“Mezzanine
Lender” and, together with Mortgage Lender, the “Lenders”). The Partnership is the sole member of Mezzanine,
and Mezzanine is the sole member of Operating.
The Loan Agreements provide for
a $97,000,000 Mortgage Loan and a $20,000,000 Mezzanine Loan. The proceeds of the Loan Agreements were used to fund the redemption
of limited partnership interests and the pay-off of the prior mortgage.
The Mortgage Loan is secured by
the Partnership’s principal asset, the Hilton San Francisco-Financial District (the “Property”). The Mortgage
Loan bears an interest rate of 5.275% per annum and matures in January 2024. The term of the loan is 10 years with interest only
due in the first three years and principal and interest on the remaining seven years of the loan based on a thirty-year amortization
schedule. The Mortgage Loan also requires payments for impounds related to property tax, insurance and capital improvement reserves.
As additional security for the Mortgage Loan, there is a limited guaranty (“Mortgage Guaranty”) executed by the Company
in favor of Mortgage Lender.
The Mezzanine Loan is secured
by the Operating membership interest held by Mezzanine and is subordinated to the Mortgage Loan. The Mezzanine Loan bears interest
at 9.75% per annum and matures on January 1, 2024. Interest only, payments are due monthly. As additional security for the Mezzanine
Loan, there is a limited guaranty executed by the Company in favor of Mezzanine Lender (the “Mezzanine Guaranty” and,
together with the Mortgage Guaranty, the “Guaranties”). The Guaranties are limited to what are commonly referred to
as “bad boy” acts, including: (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentations; (ii) gross negligence or willful misconduct;
(iii) misapplication or misappropriation of rents, security deposits, insurance or condemnation proceeds; and (iv) failure to
pay taxes or insurance. The Guaranties are full recourse guaranties under identified circumstances, including failure to maintain
“single purpose” status which is a factor in a consolidation of Operating or Mezzanine in a bankruptcy of another
person, transfer or encumbrance of the Property in violation of the applicable loan documents, Operating or Mezzanine incurring
debts that are not permitted, and the Property becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding. Pursuant to the Guaranties, the Partnership
is required to maintain a certain minimum net worth and liquidity. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Partnership is in compliance
with both requirements.
Each of the Loan Agreements contains
customary representations and warranties, events of default, reporting requirements, affirmative covenants and negative covenants,
which impose restrictions on, among other things, organizational changes of the respective borrower, operations of the Property,
agreements with affiliates and third parties. Each of the Loan Agreements also provides for mandatory prepayments under certain
circumstances (including casualty or condemnation events) and voluntary prepayments, subject to satisfaction of prescribed conditions
set forth in the Loan Agreements.
In April 2016, the Company entered
into an interest rate agreement on its $923,000 mortgage note payable on its commercial property located in Los Angeles, California
in order to settle the variable rate as of March 31, 2016 of 4.22% into a fixed rate of 3.99%. The swap agreement matures in January
2021. A swap is a contractual agreement to exchange interest rate payments. As of June 30, 2019, the fair market value of the
swap agreement is immaterial.
In June 2016, The Company refinanced
its $1,929,000 mortgage note payable on its 12-unit apartment complex located in Los Angeles, California and obtained a new mortgage
in the amount of $2,300,000. The interest rate on the new mortgage is 3.59% and matures in June 2026.
On July 31, 2019, Mezzanine refinanced
the Mezzanine Loan by entering into a new mezzanine loan agreement (“New Mezzanine Loan Agreement”) with Cred Reit
Holdco LLC in the amount of $20,000,000. The prior Mezzanine Loan was paid off with no prepayment penalty. Interest rate on the
new mezzanine loan is 7.25% and the loan matures on January 1, 2024. Interest only payments are due monthly.
In August 2018, $1,005,000 was drawn
from the Company’s RLOC with CIBC to pay off a mortgage note payable on its single-family house located in Los Angeles,
California. In September 2018, the Company obtained a new mortgage in the amount of $1,000,000 on the same property. The interest
rate on the new loan is fixed at 4.75% per annum for the first five years and variable for the remaining of the term. The note
matures in October 2048. $995,000 received as a result of the refinance was used to pay down the RLOC.
Each mortgage notes payable is secured
by real estate or the Hotel. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the mortgage notes payables are summarized as follows:

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government
enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act
significantly revises the future ongoing corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates. As
the Company has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate was phased in, resulting in a statutory federal
rate of approximately 28% for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, and 21% for subsequent fiscal years. The decrease in corporate
tax rate reduced the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities to the lower federal base rate of 21%. As a result, a
provisional net credit of $404,000 was included in the income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 2018.
The components of the deferred tax
asset and liabilities are as follows:

Management considers new evidence,
both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2019,
because of tax planning to generate taxable income in the future, management has determined that there is sufficient positive
evidence to conclude that a significant portion of its deferred tax assets are realizable. As a result, the valuation allowance
decreased by $2,086,000 and $778,000, respectively, during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company
had estimated net operating losses (NOLs) of $25,447,000 and $16,583,000 for federal and state purposes, respectively. Below is
the break-down of the NOLs for Intergroup, Santa Fe and Portsmouth. The carryforward expires in varying amounts through the year
2037.

Utilization of the net operating
loss carryover may be subject a substantial annual limitation if it should be determined that there has been a change in the ownership
of more than 50 percent of the value of the Company's stock, pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and
similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryovers before utilization.
Assets and liabilities are established
for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not
meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold based on the technical merits of the positions. As of June 30, 2019, it
has been determined there are no uncertain tax positions likely to impact the Company.
The Partnership files tax returns
as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates and is subject to examination by federal, state and local
jurisdictions, were applicable.
As of June 30, 2019, tax years beginning
in fiscal 2013 remain open to examination by the major tax jurisdictions and are subject to the statute of limitations.

NOTE 16 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
PLANS
The Company follows the Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards 123 (Revised), "Share-Based Payments" ("SFAS No. 123R"), which was primarily
codified into ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which addresses accounting for equity-based
compensation arrangements, including employee stock options and restricted stock units.
The Company currently has one equity
compensation plan, which is the Intergroup 2010 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan. The InterGroup Corporation 2008 Restricted Stock
Unit Plan (the “2008 RSU Plan”) terminated on its expiration date of December 8th, 2018 as prescribed in
the plan document. Both plans have been approved by the Company’s stockholders and are described below. Any outstanding
options issued under the Key Employee Plan or the Non-Employee Director Plan remain effective in accordance with their terms.
The InterGroup Corporation 2008
Restricted Stock Unit Plan
On December 3, 2008, the Board of
Directors adopted, subject to shareholder approval, an equity compensation plan for its officers, directors and key employees
entitled, The InterGroup Corporation 2008 Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the “2008 RSU Plan”). The 2008 RSU Plan was
approved and ratified by the shareholders on February 18, 2009.
The 2008 RSU Plan authorizes the
Company to issue restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as equity compensation to officers, directors and key employees of
the Company on such terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee of the Company. RSUs are not actual shares
of the Company’s common stock, but rather promises to deliver common stock in the future, subject to certain vesting requirements
and other restrictions as may be determined by the Committee. Holders of RSUs have no voting rights with respect to the underlying
shares of common stock and holders are not entitled to receive any dividends until the RSUs vest and the shares are delivered.
No awards of RSUs shall vest until at least six months after shareholder approval of the Plan. Subject to certain adjustments
upon changes in capitalization, a maximum of 200,000 shares of the common stock are available for issuance to participants under
the 2008 RSU Plan. The 2008 RSU Plan will terminate ten (10) years from December 3, 2008, unless terminated sooner by the Board
of Directors. After the 2008 RSU Plan is terminated, no awards may be granted but awards previously granted shall remain outstanding
in accordance with the Plan and their applicable terms and conditions.
The shares of common stock to be
delivered upon the vesting of an award of RSUs have been registered under the Securities Act, pursuant to a registration statement
filed on Form S-8 by the Company on June 16, 2010. The grant of RSUs is personal to the recipient and is not transferable. Once
received, shares of common stock issuable upon the vesting of the RSUs are freely transferable subject to any requirements of
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Under the 2008 RSU Plan, the Compensation Committee also has the power and authority to establish
and implement an exchange program that would permit the Company to offer holders of awards issued under prior shareholder approved
compensation plans to exchange certain options for new RSUs on terms and conditions to be set by the Committee. The exchange program
is designed to increase the retention and motivational value of awards granted under prior plans. In addition, by exchanging options
for RSUs, the Company will reduce the number of shares of common stock subject to equity awards, thereby reducing potential dilution
to stockholders in the event of significant increases in the value of its common stock.
As of June 30, 2019, there were
no RSUs outstanding.
Intergroup Corporation 2010 Omnibus
Employee Incentive Plan
On February 24, 2010, the shareholders
of the Company approved The Intergroup Corporation 2010 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan (the “2010 Incentive Plan”),
which was formally adopted by the Board of Directors following the annual meeting of shareholders. The Company believes that such
awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards are generally granted with an
exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest
based on 5 years of continuous service. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in
control, as defined in the 2010 Incentive Plan. The 2010 Incentive plan as modified in December 2013, authorizes a total of up
to 400,000 shares of common stock to be issued as equity compensation to officers and employees of the Company in an amount and
in a manner to be determined by the Compensation Committee in accordance with the terms of the 2010 Incentive Plan. The 2010 Incentive
Plan authorizes the awards of several types of equity compensation including stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance
awards and other stock-based compensation. The 2010 Incentive Plan will expire on February 23, 2020, if not terminated sooner
by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee. Any awards issued under the 2010 Incentive Plan will
expire under the terms of the grant agreement.
The shares of common stock to be
issued under the 2010 Incentive Plan have been registered under the Securities Act, pursuant to a registration statement filed
on Form S-8 by the Company on June 16, 2010. Once received, shares of common stock issued under the Plan will be freely transferable
subject to any requirements of Section 16 (b) of the Exchange Act.
On March 16, 2010, the Compensation
Committee authorized the grant of 100,000 stock options to the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive, John V.
Winfield to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the 2010 Incentive Plan. The exercise
price of the options is $10.30, which is 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock as determined by reference
to the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market on March 16, 2010, the date
of grant. The options expire ten years from the date of grant, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the 2010
Incentive Plan. The options shall be subject to both time and market based vesting requirements, each of which must be satisfied
before options are fully vested and eligible to be exercised. Pursuant to the time vesting requirements, the options vest over
a period of five years, with 20,000 options vesting upon each one-year anniversary of the date of grant. Pursuant to the market
vesting requirements, the options vest in increments of 20,000 shares upon each increase of $2.00 or more in the market price
of the Company’s common stock above the exercise price ($10.30) of the options. To satisfy this requirement, the common
stock must trade at that increased level for a period of at least ten trading days during any one quarter. As of June 30, 2019,
all the market vesting requirements have been met.
In February 2012, the Compensation
Committee awarded 90,000 stock options to the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive, John V. Winfield to purchase
up to 90,000 shares of common stock. The per share exercise price of the options is $19.77 which is the fair value of the Company’s
Common Stock as reported on NASDAQ on February 28, 2012. The options expire ten years from the date of grant. The options are
subject to both time and market based vesting requirements, each of which must be satisfied before the options are fully vested
and eligible to be exercised. Pursuant to the time vesting requirements, the options vest over a period of five years, with 18,000
options vesting upon each one-year anniversary of the date of grant. Pursuant to the market vesting requirements, the options
vest in increments of 18,000 shares upon each increase of $2.00 or more in the market price of the Company’s common stock
above the exercise price ($19.77) of the options. To satisfy this requirement, the common stock must trade at that increased level
for a period of at least ten trading days during any one quarter. As of June 30, 2019, all of these options have met the market
vesting requirements.
On December 26, 2013, the Compensation
Committee authorized, subject to shareholder approval, a grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options for an aggregate of
160,000 shares (the “Option Grant”) to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, John V. Winfield.
The stock option grant was approved by shareholders on February 19, 2014. The grant of stock options was made pursuant to, and
consistent with, the 2010 Incentive Plan, as proposed to be amended. The non-qualified stock options are for 133,195 shares and
have a term of ten years, expiring on December 26, 2023, with an exercise price of $18.65 per share. The incentive stock options
are for 26,805 shares and have a term of five years, expiring on December 26, 2018, with an exercise price of $20.52 per share.
In accordance with the terms of the 2010 Incentive Plan, the exercise prices were based on 100% and 110%, respectively, of the
fair market value of the Company’s common stock as determined by reference to the closing price of the Company’s common
stock as reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market on the date of grant. The stock options are subject to time vesting requirements,
with 20% of the options vesting annually commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date. In December 2018, Mr. Winfield
exercised the 26,805 vested incentive stock options by surrendering 17,439 shares of the Company’s common stock at fair
value as payment of the exercise price, resulting in a net issuance to him of 9,366 shares. No additional compensation expense
was recorded related to the issuance.
In March 2017, the Compensation
Committee awarded 18,000 stock options to the Company’s Vice President of Real Estate, David C. Gonzalez, to purchase up
to 18,000 shares of common stock. The per share exercise price of the options is $27.30 which is the fair value of the Company’s
Common Stock as reported on NASDAQ on March 2, 2017. The options expire ten years from the date of grant. Pursuant to the time
vesting requirements, the options vest over a period of five years, with 3,600 options vesting upon each one-year anniversary
of the date of grant.
During the years ended June 30,
2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stock option compensation expense of $76,000 and $184,000, respectively, related to stock
options previously issued. As of June 30, 2019, there was an estimated total of $44,000 unamortized compensation related to stock
options which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average of 2.67 years.
Option-pricing models require the
input of various subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life, estimated forfeiture rates and the price
volatility of the underlying stock. The expected stock price volatility is based on analysis of the Company’s stock price
history. The Company has selected to use the simplified method for estimating the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is
based on the U.S. Treasury interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. No dividend yield
is included as the Company has not issued any dividends and does not anticipate issuing any dividends in the future.

NOTE
17 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the redemption
of limited partnership interests of Justice, Justice Operating Company, LLC agreed to pay a total of $1,550,000 in fees to certain
officers and directors of the Company for services rendered in connection with the redemption of partnership interests, refinancing
of Justice’s properties and reorganization of Justice. This agreement was superseded by a letter dated December 11, 2013
from Justice, in which Justice assumed the payment obligations of Justice Operating Company, LLC. As of June 30, 2018, $200,000
of these fees remained payable and are paid off as of June 30, 2019.
As Chairman of the Securities Investment
Committee, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), John V. Winfield, directs the investment activity
of the Company in public and private markets pursuant to authority granted by the Board of Directors. Mr. Winfield also serves
as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Portsmouth and Santa Fe and oversees the investment activity of those companies.
Depending on certain market conditions and various risk factors, the Chief Executive Officer, Portsmouth and Santa Fe may, at
times, invest in the same companies in which the Company invests. Such investments align the interests of the Company with the
interests of related parties because it places the personal resources of the Chief Executive Officer and the resources of the
Portsmouth and Santa Fe, at risk in substantially the same manner as the Company in connection with investment decisions made
on behalf of the Company.
NOTE 18 – COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES
Franchise
Agreements
The Partnership entered into a Franchise
License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with the HLT Existing Franchise Holding LLC (“Hilton”) on
November 24, 2004. The term of the License agreement was for an initial period of 15 years commencing on the date the Hotel began
operating as a Hilton hotel, with an option to extend the License Agreement for another five years, subject to certain conditions.
On June 26, 2015, Operating and Hilton entered into an amended franchise agreement which amongst other things extended the License
Agreement through 2030, and also provided the Partnership certain key money cash incentives to be earned through 2030.
Since the opening of the Hotel in
January 2006, the Partnership has incurred monthly royalties, program fees and information technology recapture charges equal
to a percentage of the Hotel’s gross room revenue. Fees for such services during fiscal year 2019 and 2018 totaled approximately
$4.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
Hotel Employees
Effective February 3, 2017, the
Partnership had no employees. On February 3, 2017, Interstate assumed all labor union agreements and retained employees of
their choice to continue providing services to the Hotel. As of June 30, 2019, approximately 85% of those employees were
represented by one of four labor unions, and their terms of employment were determined under a collective bargaining agreement
(“CBA”) to which the Partnership was a party. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the Partnership renewed
the CBA for Local 39 (Stationary Engineers), and Local 665 (Parking Employees). CBA for Local 2 (Hotel and Restaurant Employees)
expired on August 13, 2018 and was renewed in August 2019. CBA for Local 856 (International Brotherhood of Teamsters) will expire
on December 31, 2022.
Negotiation of collective bargaining
agreements, which includes not just terms and conditions of employment, but scope and coverage of employees, is a regular and
expected course of business operations for the Partnership and Interstate. The Partnership expects and anticipates that the terms
of conditions of CBAs will have an impact on wage and benefit costs, operating expenses, and certain hotel operations during the
life of each CBA, and incorporates these principles into its operating and budgetary practices.
Legal Matters
In April 2014,
the Partnership commenced an arbitration action against Glaser Weil Fink Howard Avchen & Shapiro, LLP (formerly known as Glaser
Weil Fink Jacobs Howard Avchen & Shapiro, LLP), Brett J. Cohen, Gary N. Jacobs, Janet S. McCloud, Paul B. Salvaty, and Joseph
K. Fletcher III (collectively, the “Respondents”) in connection with the redemption transaction. The arbitration alleged
legal malpractice against the Respondents and also sought declaratory relief regarding provisions of the option agreement in the
redemption transaction and regarding the engagement letter with Respondents. Prior to arbitration proceedings, the parties agreed
in principle to settle the matter, and entered into a settlement agreement and mutual general release in April 2018. The Respondents
agreed to pay $8,300,000, which was received in May of 2018. $5,575,000 was recorded as a recovery of legal settlement cost
and $2,725,000 was recorded as a reduction of legal expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.
The Company is subject to legal
proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against
any such claims. Management does not believe that the impact of such matters will have a material effect on the financial conditions
or result of operations when resolved.
