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, 2018, the Company had the power to vote 85.9%
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 93.1% 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”), Justice Mezzanine Company, LLC (“Mezzanine”), and Kearny Street Parking, LLC (“Parking”)
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. Mezzanine and Parking
are both wholly-owned subsidiaries 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 management agreement with Prism Hospitality L.P. (“Prism”) to perform
certain management functions for the Hotel. The management agreement with Prism had an original term of ten years, subject to the
Partnership’s right to terminate at any time with or without cause. Effective January 2014, the management agreement with
Prism was amended by the Partnership to change the nature of the services provided by Prism and the compensation payable to Prism,
among other things. 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. After a lengthy review process of several national third-party
hotel management companies, 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. The $2,000,000 is included in the restricted cash and related party and
other notes payable balances in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2018 and 2017.
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, 2018 and 2017.
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, 2018 and 2017.
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, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded
impairment losses related to other investments of $200,000 and $178,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, the allowance
for impairment losses was $6,269,000 and $6,154,000, 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.
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, 2018 and 2017, the Company purchased 25,527 and 22,002 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
Room revenue is recognized on the date upon which a guest occupies
a room and/or utilizes the Hotel’s services. Food and beverage revenues are recognized upon delivery. Garage revenue is recognized
when a guest uses the garage space. The Company records a liability for payments collected in advance of revenue recognition. This
liability is included in accounts payable and other liabilities.
Revenue recognition from apartment rentals commences when an
apartment unit is placed in service and occupied by a rent-paying tenant. Apartment units are leased on a short-term basis, with
no lease extending beyond one year.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included
in Hotel operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs were $302,000 and $294,000 for the
years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, 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.
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 (Loss) 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. The Company's only potentially dilutive common shares are stock options. The basic and diluted earnings
per share were the same for the year ended June 30, 2017 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 and U.S. Tax Reform
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 adopted the new standard effective July 1, 2018 using
the modified retrospective method. The standard has no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures.
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 intend to adopt the
standard 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.
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 changes included in the Tax Act are broad and complex. The
final transition impacts of the Tax Act may differ from the above estimate, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes
in interpretations of the Tax Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, any changes in
accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act, or any updates or changes to estimates
the company has utilized to calculate the transition impact. The Securities Exchange Commission has issued rules that would allow
for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax
impacts.
NOTE 2 - 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 24 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.

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 year ended June 30, 2018, we received distribution
from other non-marketable investments of $131,000.
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 10 - 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 principle
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 a 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, 2018 and 2017, 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 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.
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, 2018, the fair market value of the swap agreement is immaterial.
Each mortgage notes payable is secured by real estate or the
Hotel. As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, the mortgage notes payable are summarized as follows:

NOTE 11 – GARAGE OPERATIONS
The parking garage that is part of the Hotel property was managed
by Ace Parking pursuant to a contract with the Partnership. The contract was terminated with an effective termination date of October
4, 2016. The Company began managing the parking garage in-house after the termination of Ace Parking. Effective February 3, 2017,
Interstate took over the management of the parking garage along with the Hotel.
NOTE 12 – MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
Justice had a management agreement with Prism Hospitality L.P.
(“Prism”) to perform certain management functions for the Hotel. The management agreement with Prism had an original
term of ten years, subject to the Partnership’s right to terminate at any time with or without cause. Effective January 2014,
the management agreement with Prism was amended by the Partnership to change the nature of the services provided by Prism and the
compensation payable to Prism, among other things. 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. After a lengthy
review process of several national third-party hotel management companies, 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. The key money contribution shall be amortized in
equal monthly amounts over an eight (8) year period commencing on the second (2
nd
) anniversary of the takeover date.
The $2,000,000 is included in restricted cash and related party note payable balances in the balance sheets as of June 30, 2018
and 2017. During the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, Interstate management fees were $957,000 and $372,000, respectively, and
are included in Hotel operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE 13 – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, all accounts receivables are related
to Hotel customers.
The Hotel had two customers that accounted for 32%, or $572,000 of accounts receivable
at June 30, 2018, and one customer that accounted for 27%, or $390,000 of accounts receivable at June 30, 2017.
The Partnership 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 is
comprised of the following:

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:

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, 2018, 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, 2018, tax years beginning in fiscal 2012 remain
open to examination by the major tax jurisdictions and are subject to the statute of limitations.
NOTE 15 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

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 two equity compensation plans, each
of which has been approved by the Company’s stockholders. The InterGroup Corporation 2008 Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the
“2008 RSU Plan”) and the Intergroup 2010 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan 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, 2018, 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 earlier terminated 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, 2018, 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, 2018, 90,000 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 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, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded
stock option compensation expense of $184,000 and $268,000, respectively, related to stock options previously issued. As of June
30, 2018, there was an estimated total of $120,000 of unamortized compensation related to stock options which is expected to be
recognized over the weighted-average of 2.73 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 described in Note 2 above, 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. The first payment under this agreement was made concurrently
with the closing of the loan agreements described in Note 2 above, with the remaining payments due upon Justice Investor’s
having adequate available cash as described in the letter. As of June 30, 2018, $200,000 of these fees remain payable.
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 percent of the Hotel’s
gross room revenue. Fees for such services during fiscal year 2018 and 2017 totaled approximately $3.8 million and $3.3 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, 2018, 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 year ended June 30, 2018, the Partnership renewed the CBA for Local 856 (International Brotherhood
of Teamsters). The present CBAs for Local 2 (Hotel and Restaurant Employees), Local 39 (Stationary Engineers), and Local 665 (Parking
Employees) will expire on August 13, 2018, July 31, 2018, and November 30, 2018, respectively.
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. 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 2014, Evon Corporation ("Evon") filed a complaint
in San Francisco Superior Court against the Partnership, Portsmouth, and a limited partner and related party asserting contract
and tort claims based on Justice’s withholding of $4.7 million to pay the transfer tax described in Item 3 - Legal Proceedings.
Evon’s complaint asserted various tort and contract claims against Justice and Portsmouth; and also a tort against a Justice
limited partner and related party. In July 2014, Justice paid to Holdings $4.7 million, the amount Evon claimed to be incorrectly
withheld. In June 2014, the Partnership sued Evon and related defendants, seeking a judicial declaration as to certain issues
arising out of the partnership redemption documents. Evon filed a cross-complaint in December 2014, alleging torts against the
Partnership in connection with the redemption transaction. On May 5, 2016, Justice Investors and Portsmouth (parent company)
settled these actions via a global settlement agreement. The Partnership agreed to pay Evon $5,575,000. As of January 10, 2017,
the Company has satisfied all conditions of the settlement agreement.
In March 2017, Justice entered into a settlement agreement with
RSUI Indemnity Company (“RSUI”), the insurer for Portsmouth’s Directors and Officers Liability Policies. Under
this settlement agreement, Justice received $900,000 from RSUI to resolve allegations that RSUI had committed breach of contract
and bad faith in handling a claim. The $900,000 was recorded as a reduction of legal expense for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2017.
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.
NOTE 19 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In July 2018, Intergroup obtained a revolving $5,000,000 line
of credit (“RLOC”). On July 31, 2018, $2,969,000 was drawn from the RLOC to pay off the mortgage note payable at one
of the Company’s Los Angeles properties that will undergo a major renovation. 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 interest are due in June 2019.
