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.
Effective
February 19, 2021, the Company’s 83.7% owned subsidiary, Santa Fe Financial Corporation (“Santa Fe”), a public company
(OTCBB: SFEF), was liquidated and all of its assets, including its 68.8% interest in Portsmouth Square Inc. (“Portsmouth”),
a public company (OTCBB: PRSI) were distributed to its shareholders in exchange for their Santa Fe common stock. InterGroup received
cash of $5,013,000 and 422,998 shares of Portsmouth common stock in March 2021 as a result of the liquidation of Santa Fe. As a former
3.7% shareholder of Santa Fe, the Company’s President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, John Winfield, received
cash of $221,000 and 18,641 shares of Portsmouth common stock in March 2021 as a result of the liquidation of Santa Fe. On April 12,
2021, Santa Fe received a filed stamped copy of its Articles of Dissolution from the State of Nevada, and Santa Fe is effectively fully
dissolved and no longer in legal existence. The liquidation and distribution of Santa Fe did not have an impact on the consolidated statement
of operations but rather on the consolidated balance sheets as a re-class between non-controlling interests and accumulated deficit.
As of June 30, 2021, InterGroup owns approximately 74.9% of the outstanding common shares of Portsmouth. As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s
President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, John Winfield, owns approximately 2.5% of the outstanding common shares
of Portsmouth. Mr. Winfield also serves as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Portsmouth.
Portsmouth’s
primary business is conducted through its general and limited partnership interest in Justice Investors Limited Partnership, a California
limited partnership (“Justice” or the “Partnership”). As of June 30, 2021, Portsmouth had a 99.3% limited partnership
interest in Justice and is the sole general partner. The financial statements of Justice are consolidated with those of the Company.
Justice,
through its subsidiaries Justice Operating Company, LLC (“Operating”) and Justice Mezzanine Company, LLC (“Mezzanine”)
owns and operates 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. 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”)
through January 31, 2030.
Justice
entered into a Hotel management agreement (“HMA”) with Interstate Management Company, LLC (“Interstate”) to manage
the Hotel, along with its five-level parking garage, with an effective takeover date of February 3, 2017. The term of the management
agreement is for an initial period of ten years commencing on the takeover date and automatically renews for successive one (1) year
periods, to not exceed five years in the aggregate, subject to certain conditions. Under the terms of the HMA, base management fee payable
to Interstate shall be one and seven-tenths percent (1.70%) of total Hotel revenue. 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. As of June 30, 2020, balance of the key money including accrued interest was $1,009,000
and is included in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2021, the key money balance was zero as the Hotel
obtained approval from Interstate to use the funds for hotel operations during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. As of June 30,
2021 and 2020, balance of the unamortized portion of the key money are $1,396,000 and $1,646,000, respectively, and are included in the
related party notes payable in the consolidated balance sheets. On October 25, 2019, Interstate merged with Aimbridge Hospitality, North
America’s largest independent hotel management firm. With the completion of the merger, the newly combined company will be positioned
under the Aimbridge Hospitality name in the Americas.
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, Portsmouth 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 the asset’s 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, 2021 and 2020.
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, 2021 and 2020.
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, 2021 and 2020, the
Company recorded impairment losses related to other investments of $119,0000 and $219,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020,
the allowance for impairment losses was $4,595,000 and $6,270,000, 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, 2021 and 2020, 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. As of June 30, 2021, and 2020, the allowance for doubtful
accounts was $531,000 and $79,000, respectively. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers but mitigates the associated credit
risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The $531,000 allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2021 includes
$514,000 allowance related to the Company’s rental properties. The temporary eviction moratorium imposed by the federal and state
governmental authorities has delayed evictions.
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, 2021 and 2020, the Company purchased
65,890 and 21,153 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 3 – 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 $110,000 and $176,000 for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 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.
We
have considered the income tax accounting and disclosure implications of the relief provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security (CARES) Act enacted on March 27, 2020, and the American Rescue Plan Act enacted on March 11, 2021. The effect of tax law changes
is required to be recognized either in the interim period in which the legislation is enacted or reflected in the computation of the
annual effective tax rate, depending on the nature of the change. As of June 30, 2020, we evaluated the income tax provisions of the
CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act and have determined there to be no material effect on the fiscal year tax provision. We will
continue to evaluate the income tax provisions of both acts and monitor the tax law changes that could have income tax accounting and
disclosure implications.
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 (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) 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. As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s potentially dilutive common
shares are 323,195 shares that Mr. Winfield has a right to acquire pursuant to vested stock options and 14,400 shares that Mr. Gonzalez
has a right to acquire pursuant to vested stock options. The basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2020 because the Company had a net loss.
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
February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to
recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,
with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. ASU 2018-11 provides
entities another option for transition, allowing entities to not apply the new standard in the comparative periods they present in their
financial statements in the year of adoption. Effective July 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective approach
provided by ASU 2018-11. We elected certain practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, including the election to carryforward
historical lease classification. We also elected the short-term lease practical expedient, which allowed us to not recognize leases with
a term of less than twelve months on our consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we elected the lease and non-lease components practical
expedient, which allowed us to calculate the present value of the fixed payments without performing an allocation of lease and non-lease
components. We did not record any operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities upon adoption
of the new standard as the aggregate value of the ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are immaterial relative to our total assets
and liabilities as of June 30, 2021and 2020. The standard did not have an impact on our other finance leases, statements of operations
or cash flows. See Note 4 and Note 11 for balances of finance lease ROU assets and liabilities, respectively.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2018-13, Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements
(Topic 820) (ASU 2018-13), which improved the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value
measurements. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of
significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty
should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All
other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon
issuance of this Update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this Update and delay
adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company has adopted the new standard effective July 1, 2020 and
the adoption of this guidance does not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE
2 – LIQUIDITY
Historically,
our cash flows have been primarily generated from our Hotel and real estate operations. However, the responses by federal, state, and
local civil authorities to the COVID-19 pandemic has had a material detrimental impact on our liquidity. For the fiscal year ended June
30, 2021, our net cash flow used in operations was $20,259,000. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, our net cash used in operations
was $3,454,000. We have taken several steps to preserve capital and increase liquidity at our Hotel, including implementing strict cost
management measures to eliminate non-essential expenses, postponing capital expenditures, renegotiating certain reoccurring expenses,
and temporarily closing certain hotel services and outlets.
As
of June 30, 2021, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $15,392,000 which included $6,222,000 of restricted cash held
by our Hotel senior lender Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Lender”). As of June 30, 2020, the Lender held $10,666,000 restricted
cash, $7,486,000 was held for furniture, fixtures and equipment (“FF&E”) reserves and $2,432,000 was held for a possible
future property improvement plan (“PIP”) requested by our franchisor, Hilton. However, Hilton has confirmed that it will
not require a PIP for our Hotel until relicensing which shall occur at the earlier of (i) January 2030, which is six years after the
maturity date of our current senior and mezzanine loans, or (ii) upon the sale of our Hotel. On August 19, 2020, Operating received PIP
deposits in the amount of $2,379,000 held by Lender. The funds were utilized to fund operating expenses, including franchise and management
fees and other expenses.
On
April 9, 2020, Justice entered into a loan agreement (“SBA Loan - Justice”) with CIBC Bank USA under the recently enacted
CARES Act administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Partnership received proceeds of $4,719,000 from the SBA Loan -
Justice. In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, Justice used proceeds from the loan primarily for payroll costs. As of
June 30, 2021, Justice had used all proceeds of the SBA Loan – Justice in qualified expenses. The SBA Loan - Justice was scheduled
to mature on April 9, 2022 and had a 1.00% interest rate. On April 27, 2020, InterGroup entered into a loan agreement (“SBA Loan
- InterGroup”) with CIBC Bank USA under the CARES Act and received loan proceeds in the amount of $453,000. As of June 30, 2021,
InterGroup had used all of the $453,000 loan proceeds in qualified payroll expenses. The SBA Loan – InterGroup was scheduled to
mature on April 27, 2022 and has a 1.00% interest rate. As of June 30, 2021, both the SBA Loan – Justice and SBA Loan – InterGroup
(collectively the “SBA Loans”) were forgiven by the SBA.
On
February 3, 2021, Justice entered into a second loan agreement (“Second SBA Loan”) with CIBC Bank USA administered by the
SBA. Justice received proceeds of $2,000,000 from the Second SBA Loan. Justice will use proceeds from the Second SBA Loan primarily for
payroll costs. The Second SBA Loan is scheduled to mature on February 3, 2026, and has a 1.00% interest rate and is subject to the terms
and conditions applicable to loans administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the CARES Act. All payments of principal
and interest are deferred until either: (a) if the SBA approves the forgiveness amount, the date the forgiveness amount is remitted by
the SBA to CIBC; or (b) if Justice does not apply for forgiveness within 10 months after the last day of the covered period specified
in the loan agreement or if the forgiveness amount is not approved, the date that is 10 months after the last day of the covered period.
The loan may be forgiven if the funds are used for payroll and other qualified expenses. All unforgiven portion of the principal and
accrued interest will be due at maturity. As of June 30, 2021, all proceeds from the Second SBA Loan had been used in qualified expenses.
On August 6, 2021, the SBA issued its new forgiveness forms and guidelines, and CIBC is currently working on the tools and platform that
will allow Justice to file for full loan forgiveness.
In
order to increase its liquidity position and to take advantage of the favorable interest rate environment, InterGroup refinanced its
151-unit apartment complex in Parsippany, New Jersey on April 30, 2020, generating net proceeds of $6,814,000. In June 2020, InterGroup
refinanced one of its California properties and generated net proceeds of $1,144,000. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, InterGroup
completed refinancing on six of its California properties and generated net proceeds of $6,762,000. InterGroup is currently evaluating
other refinancing opportunities and it could refinance additional multifamily properties should the need arise, or should management
consider the interest rate environment favorable. InterGroup has an uncollateralized $8,000,000 revolving line of credit from CIBC Bank
USA (“CIBC”) and the entire $8,000,000 is available to be drawn down as of June 30, 2021, should additional liquidity be
necessary.
On
December 16, 2020, Justice and InterGroup entered into a loan modification agreement which increased Justice’s borrowing from InterGroup
as needed up to $10,000,000. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, InterGroup advanced $3,650,000 to Justice per the aforementioned
loan modification agreement, bringing the total amount due InterGroup to $6,650,000 on June 30, 2021. The Partnership is also allowed
to seek additional loans and sell partnership interests. Upon the consent of the general partner and a super majority in interest, the
Partnership may sell additional classes or series of units of the Partnership under certain conditions in order to raise additional capital.
On August 28, 2020, the Board of InterGroup passed resolutions to provide funding to Portsmouth if necessary.
Our
known short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for operating and other expenditures, including management
and franchise fees, corporate expenses, payroll and related costs, taxes, interest and principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness,
and repairs and maintenance of the Hotel.
Our
long-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for scheduled debt maturities and capital improvements of
the Hotel and our real estate properties. We will continue to finance our business activities primarily with existing cash, including
from the activities described above, and cash generated from our operations. After considering our approach to liquidity and accessing
our available sources of cash, we believe that our cash position, after giving effect to the transactions discussed above, will be adequate
to meet anticipated requirements for operating and other expenditures, including corporate expenses, payroll and related benefits, taxes
and compliance costs and other commitments, for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements, even
if current levels of low occupancy were to persist. The objectives of our cash management policy are to maintain existing leverage levels
and the availability of liquidity, while minimizing operational costs. We believe that our cash on hand, along with other potential aforementioned
sources of liquidity that management may be able to obtain, will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs, as well as our capital
lease and debt obligations for at least the next twelve months and beyond. However, there can be no guarantee that management will be
successful with its plan.
NOTE
3 – REVENUE
Our
revenue from real estate is primarily rental income from residential and commercial property leases which is recorded when due from residents
and is recognized monthly as earned. The following table present our Hotel revenue disaggregated by revenue streams.

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.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Non-cancelable
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, 2021 and 2020, 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 decreased to $161,000 as of June 30,
2021 from $375,000 as of June 30, 2020. The decrease for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily driven by $214,000 revenue
recognized that was included in the advanced deposits balance as of June 30, 2020.
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.

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

For
fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we received distribution from other non-marketable investments of $119,000 and $115,000, 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.

On
February 1, 2017, Justice entered into an HMA with Interstate to manage the Hotel with an effective takeover date of February 3, 2017.
The term of the 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 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 amount of $2,000,000 under certain terms and conditions described
in a separate key money agreement. The key money contribution shall be amortized in equal monthly amounts over an eight (8) year period
commencing on the second (2nd) anniversary of the takeover date. As of June 30, 2021 balance of the key money was zero as
the Hotel obtained approval from Interstate to use the funds for hotel operations during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. As of
June 30, 2020, the balance of the key money plus accrued interest was $1,009,,000 and was included in restricted cash in the consolidated

In
July 2018, InterGroup obtained a revolving $5,000,000 line of credit (“RLOC”) from CIBC Bank USA (“CIBC”). On
July 31, 2018, $2,969,000 was drawn from the RLOC to pay off the mortgage note payable at Intergroup Woodland Village, Inc. (“Woodland
Village”) and a new mortgage note payable was established at Woodland Village due to InterGroup for the amount drawn. Woodland
Village holds a three-story apartment complex in Santa Monica, California and is a subsidiary of Santa Fe and the Company. The RLOC carries
a variable interest rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 3%. Interest is paid on a monthly basis. The RLOC and all accrued and unpaid interests
were due in July 2019. In July 2019, the Company obtained a modification from CIBC which increased the RLOC by $3,000,000 and extended
the maturity date from July 24, 2019 to July 23, 2020. The $2,969,000 mortgage due to InterGroup carries same terms as InterGroup’s
RLOC. In July 2020, the $2,969,000 mortgage due to InterGroup and the RLOC was extended to July 2021.
On
April 9, 2020, Justice entered into a loan agreement (“SBA Loan - Justice”) with CIBC Bank USA under the recently enacted
CARES Act administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Partnership received proceeds of $4,719,000 from the SBA Loan -
Justice. In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, Justice has used proceeds from the loan primarily for payroll costs. As
of June 30, 2021, Justice had used all proceeds of the SBA Loan – Justice in qualified expenses. The SBA Loan - Justice was scheduled
to mature on April 9, 2022 and had a 1.00% interest rate. On April 27, 2020, InterGroup entered into a loan agreement (“SBA Loan
- InterGroup”) with CIBC Bank USA under the CARES Act and received loan proceeds in the amount of $453,000. As of June 30, 2021,
InterGroup had used all of the $453,000 loan proceeds in qualified payroll expenses. The SBA Loan – InterGroup was scheduled to
mature on April 27, 2022 and has a 1.00% interest rate. Both the SBA Loan – Justice and SBA Loan – InterGroup (collectively
the “SBA Loans”) were forgiven by the SBA in full as of June 30, 2021.
On
February 3, 2021, Justice entered into a second loan agreement (“Second SBA Loan”) with CIBC Bank USA administered by the
SBA. Justice received proceeds of $2,000,000 from the Second SBA Loan. Justice will use proceeds from the Second SBA Loan primarily for
payroll costs. The Second SBA Loan is scheduled to mature on February 3, 2026 and has a 1.00% interest rate and is subject to the terms
and conditions applicable to loans administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the CARES Act. All payments of principal
and interest are deferred until either: (a) if the SBA approves the forgiveness amount, the date the forgiveness amount is remitted by
the SBA to CIBC; or (b) if Justice does not apply for forgiveness within 10 months after the last day of the covered period specified
in the loan agreement or if the forgiveness amount is not approved, the date that is 10 months after the last day of the covered period.
The loan may be forgiven if the funds are used for payroll and other qualified expenses. All unforgiven portion of the principal and
accrued interest will be due at maturity. As of June 30, 2021, all proceeds from the Second SBA Loan had been used in qualified expenses.
On August 6, 2021, the SBA issued its new forgiveness forms and guidelines, and CIBC is currently working on the tools and platform that
will allow Justice to file for full loan forgiveness.

were due in July 2019. In July 2019, the Company obtained a modification from CIBC which increased the RLOC by $3,000,000 and extended
the maturity date from July 24, 2019 to July 23, 2020. The $2,969,000 mortgage due to InterGroup carried same terms as InterGroup’s
RLOC. In July 2020, InterGroup entered into a second modification agreement with CIBC which extended the maturity date of its RLOC to
July 21, 2021. The $2,969,000 mortgage due to InterGroup was also extended to July 1, 2021. On August 28, 2020, Santa Fe sold its 27-unit
apartment complex located in Santa Monica, California for $15,650,000 and received net proceeds of $12,163,000 after selling costs and
repayment of InterGroup’s RLOC of $2,985,000. Furthermore, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement between Santa Fe and InterGroup,
Santa Fe paid InterGroup $662,000 from the sale.
On
November 23, 2020, Santa Fe sold its 2-unit apartment complex in West Los Angeles, California to InterGroup for $1,530,000 in exchange
for a reduction of $1,196,000 of its obligation to InterGroup. Santa Fe acquired the property on February 1, 2002 for $785,000. Outstanding
mortgage on the property for $334,000 was simultaneously transferred to InterGroup. Santa Fe realized a gain on the sale of approximately
$901,000, which was eliminated in consolidation at InterGroup. The sales price of the property represents its current value as of the
sale date as appraised by a licensed independent third-party appraiser. The fairness of the sale terms of the transaction were reviewed
and approved by the independent directors of Santa Fe and InterGroup, and unanimously approved by the entire Board of Directors of both
companies.
As
disclosed in its Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C, filed with the SEC on January 25, 2021, Santa Fe received shareholder
approval to distribute its assets, as described and subsequently dissolve, all as set forth in the Information Statement. As InterGroup
formerly owned 83.7% of the outstanding common stock of Santa Fe, the Company received cash of $5,013,000 and 422,998 shares of Portsmouth
common stock in March 2021 as a result of the liquidation of Santa Fe. As a former 3.7% shareholder of Santa Fe, the Company’s
President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, John Winfield, received cash of $221,000 and 18,641 shares of Portsmouth
common stock in March 2021 as a result of the liquidation of Santa Fe. On April 12, 2021, Santa Fe received a filed stamped copy of its
Articles of Dissolution from the State of Nevada, and Santa Fe is effectively fully dissolved and no longer in legal existence.
Four
of the Portsmouth directors serve as directors of InterGroup. The Company’s Vice President Real Estate and Advisor of Executive
Strategic Real Estate and Securities Investment Committee was elected President of Portsmouth on May 24, 2021, by the Board of Directors
of Portsmouth.
As
Chairman of the Executive Strategic Real Estate and 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 Board of Portsmouth and oversees the
investment activity of Portsmouth. Effective June 2016, Mr. Winfield became the Managing Director of Justice. Depending on certain market
conditions and various risk factors, the Chief Executive Officer and Portsmouth 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
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 Portsmouth in
favor of the 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 had an interest rate of 9.75% per annum and a maturity date of January 1, 2024. Interest only payments were due monthly. 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. Interest rate on the new mezzanine loan
is 7.25% and the loan matures on January 1, 2024. Interest only payments are due monthly. As additional security for the new mezzanine
loan, there is a limited guaranty executed by the Partnership and Portsmouth in favor of Cred Reit Holdco LLC (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. Effective as of May 12, 2017, InterGroup agreed to become an additional
guarantor under the limited guaranty and an additional indemnitor under the environmental indemnity for Justice Investors limited partnership’s
$97,000,000 mortgage loan and the $20,000,000 mezzanine loan. Pursuant to the agreement, InterGroup is required to maintain a certain
net worth and liquidity. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, InterGroup is in compliance with both requirements. However, due to the Hotel’s
current low occupancy and its negative impact on the Hotel’s cash flow, Justice Operating Company, LLC is not meeting certain of
its loan covenants such as the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (“DSCR”) which would trigger the creation of a lockbox and cash
sweep by the Lender for all cash collected by the Hotel, and under certain terms, would allow the Lender to request Operating to replace
its hotel management company. The DSCR for Operating has been below 1.00 for the last two quarters during fiscal year 2021 while it is
required to maintain a DSCR of at least 1.10 to 1.00 for two consecutive quarters. However, such lockbox and cash sweep was already in
place and will remain in place up to loan maturity regardless of the DSCR. Justice has not missed any of its debt service payments and
does not anticipate missing any debt obligations even during these uncertain times for at least the next twelve months and beyond.
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.

as a result of the refinancing of these two mortgages. Interest rate on the mortgages is at five-year fixed interest rate of 3.5% per
annum and adjustable rate thereafter at 2.5% over the 6-month LIBOR Index with semi-annual rate and payment adjustments. Semi-annual

NOTE
12 – MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
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 amount of $2,000,000 under certain terms and conditions described in a separate key money agreement. As of June 30, 2020, balance
of the key money including accrued interest was $1,009,000 and is included in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. As
of June 30, 2021, the key money balance was zero as the Hotel obtained approval from Interstate to use the funds for hotel operations
during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, balance of the unamortized portion of the key money are $1,396,000
and $1,646,000, respectively, and are included in the related party notes payable in the consolidated balance sheets. For the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, hotel management fees were $242,000 and $591,000, respectively, offset by key money amortization
of $250,000 for both years and are included in Hotel operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. On October 25,
2019, Interstate merged with Aimbridge Hospitality, North America’s largest independent hotel management firm. With the completion
of the merger, the newly combined company will be positioned under the Aimbridge Hospitality name in the Americas.
NOTE
13 – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
As
of June 30, 2021 and 2020, receivables related to Hotel customers were $194,000 and $239,000, respectively.. Usually, credit extended
to the Company’s tenants at its rental properties is of low risk as leases do not extend beyond one year and if tenants become
delinquent, local eviction laws are used to evict tenants. However, as of June 30, 2021 accounts receivable from the Company’s
rental properties was $660,000 and allowance for doubtful accounts was $514,000, for a net receivable of $146,000. This unusual large
gross receivable amount from our rental properties is as a result of the temporary eviction moratorium imposed by the federal and state
governmental authorities since the beginning of the COVID19 pandemic and is now scheduled to be lifted on October 3, 2021, but no assurances
can be given that such a moratorium won’t be once again extended. Under the eviction moratorium, the Company is not allowed to
evict tenants for non-payment of rent. The Company continues to work with its delinquent tenants and some tenants have requested governmental
assistance to pay for their delinquent balances. The Company is monitoring the eviction moratorium closely in order to reduce its potential
losses.
The
Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with various financial institutions that are monitored regularly
for credit quality. At times, such cash and cash equivalents holdings may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
or other federally insured limits.
NOTE
14 – INCOME TAXES
The
provision for the Company’s income tax (expense) benefit is comprised of the following:

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, 2021, 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, only $951,000 valuation allowance
is placed on tax credits and capital losses that may expire prior to utilization.
As
of June 30, 2021, the Company had estimated net operating losses (NOLs) of $31,495,000 and $36,050,000 for federal and state purposes,
respectively. Due to the California’s suspension of net operating losses, approximately $15.1M of the state net operating losses
cannot be utilized in taxable years 2020, 2021 and 2022 if the company’s taxable income in each of those years is $1M or more.
Below
is the break-down of the NOLs for InterGroup and Portsmouth. The carryforward expires in varying amounts through the year 2039.

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,
2021, it has been determined there are no uncertain tax positions likely to impact the Company.
The
Company 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, where applicable.
As
of June 30, 2021, tax years beginning in fiscal years 2016 and 2017 remain open to examination by the major tax jurisdictions and are
subject to the statute of limitations.
The
Company’s income tax expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 includes $3,382,000 of Santa Fe’s tax expense up to
its liquidation on February 19, 2021.
NOTE

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, 2021, 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 had an original expiration date of 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 had an original expiration date 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, 2021, all the market vesting
requirements have been met.
On
December 28, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors recommended to the Board amendments to the 2010 Incentive Plan
which would amend Section 1.3 to extend the term from ten years to sixteen years, and Section 6.4 to change “tenth (10th) anniversary
date” to “twentieth (20th) anniversary date”. This would increase the term of the 2010 Incentive Plan to twenty years
(expiring in February 2030 instead of February 2020) and also permit the existence of options with a term longer than ten years. The
purpose of the amendment to the term is to extend its existence as our only incentive plan. The purpose of amendment of the allowable
term of options is so that the Board may extend the term of the 100,000 options granted to John Winfield on March 16, 2010 from ten years
to sixteen years so that these options will terminate on March 16, 2026 instead of on March 16, 2020, in recognition of Mr. Winfield’s
contributions to and leadership of our Company. The recommended amendments were approved by shareholders on February 25, 2020. During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded additional stock option compensation expense in the amount of $116,000 as a
result of the aforementioned amendments.
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, 2021, 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 Capital Market 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, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded stock option compensation expense of $14,000 and $142,000, respectively,
related to stock options previously issued and amending the 2010 Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 2021, there was an estimated total of
$360 unamortized compensation related to stock options which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average of 0.67 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
As
discussed in Note 10 – Related Party and Other Financing Transactions, on July 2, 2014, the Partnership obtained from InterGroup
an unsecured loan in the principal amount of $4,250,000 at 12% per year fixed interest, with a term of two years, payable interest only
each month. InterGroup received a 3% loan fee. The loan may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The proceeds of the loan were applied
to the July 2014 payments to Justice Holdings Company, LLC (“Holdings”) in connection with the redemption of limited partnership
interests. The loan was extended to July 31, 2022. On December 16, 2020, Justice and InterGroup entered into a loan modification agreement
which increased Justice’s borrowing from InterGroup as needed up to $10,000,000. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, InterGroup
advanced $3,650,000 to Justice per the aforementioned loan modification agreement, bringing the total amount due InterGroup to $6,650,000
at June 30, 2021 and $3,000,000 at June 30, 2020. The loan balances are eliminated n the consolidated financial statements. The Partnership
is also allowed to seek additional loans and sell partnership interests. On August 28, 2020, the Board of InterGroup passed resolutions
to provide funding to Portsmouth if necessary.
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 were paid off as of June 30, 2020.
On
February 5, 2020, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Santa Fe pursuant
to which the Company received 97,500 shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Santa Fe, in exchange for its contribution
to Santa Fe of 4,460 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) of Intergroup Woodland Village, Inc., an Ohio corporation
(“Transaction”). As a result of the contribution, Woodland Village became a wholly owned subsidiary of Santa Fe. Before the
issuance of the stock referenced in the preceding sentence, the Company had the power to vote 86.3% of the voting shares of Santa Fe,
which includes the power to vote 3.7% interest in the common stock in Santa Fe owned by the Company’s Chairman and CEO, John V.
Winfield, pursuant to a voting trust agreement entered into on June 30, 1998. Subsequent to this issuance, the Company had the power
to vote 87.4% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Santa Fe, which included the power to vote an approximately 3.7% interest
in the common stock in Santa Fe under the aforementioned voting trust agreement. Mr. Winfield, Chairman of the Board of both the Company
and Santa Fe, is a control person of both entities.
On
February 5, 2020, after review by independent directors of the Company, and by the unanimous vote of all directors of the Company (with
Mr. Winfield abstaining), the Board approved the entry into the Contribution Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction. The Company’s
Board approved the Transaction after the receipt of a fairness opinion from a third-party independent firm. The Board was first made
aware of the Transaction in early January 2020, received information to review on or about January 17, 2020 and was given multiple opportunities
to discuss the materials with management before the February 5, 2020 Board meeting. The Contribution Agreement also contains a provision
for a potential subsequent earn out to InterGroup pursuant to terms set forth therein.
On
November 23, 2020, Santa Fe sold its 2-unit apartment complex in West Los Angeles, California to InterGroup for $1,530,000 in exchange
for a reduction of $1,196,000 of its obligation to InterGroup. Santa Fe acquired the property on February 1, 2002 for $785,000. Outstanding
mortgage note payable on the property for $334,000 was simultaneously transferred to InterGroup. Santa Fe realized a gain on the sale
of approximately $901,000, which was eliminated in consolidation at InterGroup. The sales price of the property represents its current
value as of the sale date as appraised by a licensed independent third-party appraiser. The fairness of the sale terms of the transaction
were reviewed and approved by the independent directors of Santa Fe and InterGroup, and unanimously approved by the entire Board of Directors
of both companies.
Effective
February 19, 2021, the Company’s 83.7% owned subsidiary, Santa Fe Financial Corporation (“Santa Fe”), a public company
(OTCBB: SFEF), was liquidated and all of its assets including its 68.8% interest in Portsmouth Square Inc. (“Portsmouth”),
a public company (OTCBB: PRSI) was distributed to its shareholders in exchange for their Santa Fe common stock. InterGroup received cash
of $5,013,000 and 422,998 shares of Portsmouth common stock in March 2021 as a result of the liquidation of Santa Fe. As a former 3.7%
shareholder of Santa Fe, the Company’s President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, John Winfield, received cash
of $221,000 and 18,641 shares of Portsmouth common stock in March 2021 as a result of the liquidation of Santa Fe. On April 12, 2021,
Santa Fe received a filed stamped copy of its Articles of Dissolution from the State of Nevada, and Santa Fe is effectively fully dissolved
and no longer in legal existence. The liquidation and distribution of Santa Fe did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated statement
of operations but rather on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a re-class between non-controlling interests and accumulated
deficit. As of June 30, 2021, InterGroup owns approximately 74.9% of the outstanding common shares of Portsmouth. As of June 30, 2021,
the Company’s President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, John Winfield, owns approximately 2.5% of the outstanding
common shares of Portsmouth. Mr. Winfield also serves as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Portsmouth.
In
August 2004, the Company purchased an approximately two-acre parcel of unimproved land in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii for $1,467,000. In March
2021, in an effort to make both companies more efficient, InterGroup purchased back the 50% interest of InterGroup Uluniu Inc. from Portsmouth
for $980,000, which represents Portsmouth’s carrying cost of the investment. No gains or losses were realized as a result of the
transaction since it was a related-party transaction. As a related-party transaction, the fairness of the financial terms of the transactions
were reviewed and approved by the independent director of each company
As
Chairman of the Executive Strategic Real Estate and 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 Board of Portsmouth and oversees the
investment activity of Portsmouth. Effective June 2016, Mr. Winfield became the Managing Director of Justice. Depending on certain market
conditions and various risk factors, the Chief Executive Officer and Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth, 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
Cash
Management Agreement
As
part of the Hotel refinancing effective December 18, 2013, Operating entered into a Cash Management Agreement with Bank of America, N.A.
(“Lender”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Cash Management Bank”) whereby all cash received by Operating is to be
deposited into a business checking account controlled by the Cash Management Bank up to the loan maturity date. Additionally, other terms
of the Cash Management Agreement provide that effective February 2019 or upon a Property Improvement Plan (“PIP”) requirement
by Hilton (“Franchisor”) deemed the “Cash Sweep Period” during which all excess cash generated by Operating beyond
the monthly budgeted expenses and debt services including principal and interest, insurance reserves, real estate taxes reserve, FF&E
reserves, for the senior and mezzanine loans, will be held by the Cash Management Bank for future hotel improvements as required by the
date or a PIP. Currently, any and all funds are being controlled by the Cash Management Bank according to the Cash Management Agreement.
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 as a full brand Hilton 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
2021 and 2020 totaled approximately $703,000 million and $3,000,000 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, 2021, approximately 92% of those employees were represented
by one of three labor unions, and their terms of employment were determined under various collective bargaining agreements (“CBAs”)
to which the Partnership was a party. CBA for Local 2 (Hotel and Restaurant Employees) will expire on August 13, 2022. CBA for Local
856 (International Brotherhood of Teamsters) will expire on December 31, 2022. CBA for Local 39 (Stationary Engineers) will expire on

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
The
Company may be subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company will defend
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.
