THE INTERGROUP CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by The
InterGroup Corporation ("InterGroup" or the "Company"), without audit,
according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures that are
made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Further,
the consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management,
all adjustments (which included only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
for a fair statement of the financial position, cash flows and results of
operations as of and for the periods indicated. It is suggested that these
financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements of InterGroup and the notes therein included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010. The June 30, 2010
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was obtained from the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended June 30, 2010.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal
year ending June 30, 2011.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had the power to vote 80% 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 revenue is primarily generated through the management of its 68.8%
owned subsidiary, Portsmouth Square, Inc. ("Portsmouth"), a public company
(OTCBB: PRSI). InterGroup also directly owns approximately 11.7% of the common
stock of Portsmouth. Portsmouth has a 50.0% limited partnership interest in
Justice and serves as one of the two general partners. The other general
partner, Evon Corporation ("Evon"), served as the managing general partner
until December 1, 2008 at which time Portsmouth assumed the role of managing
general partner.
Justice 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. The Hotel is operated by the partnership as a full service Hilton brand
hotel pursuant to a Franchise License Agreement with Hilton Hotels Corporation.
Justice also has a Management Agreement with Prism Hospitality L.P. ("Prism")
to perform the day-to-day management functions of the Hotel.
Justice leased the parking garage to Evon through September 30, 2008.
Effective October 1, 2008, Justice and Evon entered into an Installment Sale
Agreement whereby Justice purchased all of Evon's right, title, and interest in
the remaining term of its lease of the parking garage, which was to expire on
November 30, 2010, and other related assets. Justice also agreed to assume
Evon's contract with Ace Parking Management, Inc. ("Ace Parking") for the
-7-
management of the garage and any other liabilities related to the operation of
the garage commencing October 1, 2008. The management agreement with Ace
Parking was extended for another 62 months, effective November 1, 2010. The
Partnership also leases a day spa on the lobby level to Tru Spa. Portsmouth
also receives management fees as a general partner of Justice for its services
in overseeing and managing the Partnership's assets. Those fees are eliminated
in consolidation.
Due to the temporary closing of the Hotel to undergo major renovations from May
2005 until January 2006 to transition and reposition the Hotel from a Holiday
Inn to a Hilton, and the substantial depreciation and amortization expenses
resulting from the renovations and operating losses incurred as the Hotel
ramped up operations after reopening, Justice has recorded net losses. These
losses were anticipated and planned for as part of the Partnership's renovation
and repositioning plan for Hotel and management considers those net losses to
be temporary. The Hotel has been generating positive cash flows from operations
since June 2006 and net income is expected to improve in the future, especially
since depreciation and amortization expenses attributable to the renovation
will decrease substantially. Despite the significant downturn in the economy,
management believes that the revenues expected to be generated from the Hotel,
garage and the Partnership's 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 equity in the Hotel to
support additional borrowings, if necessary.
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 two 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. The Company's residential rental properties located
in California are managed by a professional third party property management
company.
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, "Improving Disclosures About Fair
Value Measurements." Effective January 1, 2010, ASU 2010-06 requires the
separate disclosure of significant transfers into and out of the Level 1 and
Level 2 categories and the reasons for such transfers, and also requires fair
value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities as well
as disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs used for recurring and
nonrecurring Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. Effective in fiscal
years beginning after December 31, 2010, ASU 2010-06 also requires Level 3
disclosure of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements activity on a gross
rather than a net basis. These amendments resulted in additional disclosures in
the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC 810 provides a new accounting provision
regarding the consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs"). The new
accounting provision modifies the existing quantitative guidance used in
determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE by requiring entities to
qualitatively assess whether an enterprise is a primary beneficiary, based on
whether the entity has (i) power over the significant activities of the VIE,
and (ii) an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that
could be potentially significant to the VIE. Additionally, the accounting
provision requires an ongoing reconsideration of the primary beneficiary and
provides a framework for the events that triggers a reassessment of whether an
entity is a VIE. The new accounting update became effective for the Company on
July 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on
the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
-8-
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the condensed
consolidated financial statements were issued.
Properties Held for Sale - Discontinued Operations
Properties are classified as held for sale when management commits to a plan to
sell the asset, the asset is available for immediate sale, an active program to
locate a buyer has been initiated, the sale of the asset is probable, the sale
of the asset is actively marketed and it is unlikely that significant changes
to the sale plan will be made or withdrawn. As of December 31, 2010, the
Company had two properties classified as held for sale in accordance with ASC
Topic 205-20 "Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations,
which requires that depreciation on these properties be stopped.
During the three and six months ended December 31, 2009, three properties were
classified as held for sale. However, since then, one of the properties was no
longer considered held for sale. Accordingly, the operations of this property
for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 was reclassified from
discontinued operations to continuing operations to conform to current quarter
presentation.
Under the provisions of the provisions of ASC Topic 205-20, for properties
disposed of during the year or for properties for which the Company actively
markets for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its market value,
the properties are required to be classified as held for sale on the balance
sheet and accounted for under discontinued operations in the statement of
operations. The revenues and expenses from the operation of these properties
have been reclassified from continuing operations for the three and six months
ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and reported as income from discontinued
operations in the consolidated statements of operations.
Earnings Per Share
Basic 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 income(loss) per share is similar to
the computation of basic earnings 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 and restricted stock units. For the three and six months ended
December 31, 2010, the Company had a total of 108,668 and 90,944, stock options
and restricted stock units, respectively, that were considered potential
dilutive common shares. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2009,
there were no potentially dilutive common shares as the Company had a net loss
from continuing operations.

On October 20, 2010, as part of a debt restructuring of one of its investments,
the Company exchanged approximately $13,231,000 in notes, convertible notes and
debt instruments that it held in Comstock Mining, Inc. ("Comstock" - OTCBB:
LODE)) for 13,231 shares ($1,000 stated value) of newly created 7 1/2% Series
A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "A-1 Preferred") of Comstock. Prior to the
exchange, those notes and convertible debt instruments had a carrying value of
$1,809,000, net of impairment adjustments. The Company accounted for the
transaction as an exchange of its debt securities and recorded the new
instruments (A-1 Preferred) received based on their fair value. The Company
estimated the fair value of the A-1 Preferred at $1,000 per share, which was
the stated value of the instrument, for a total of $13,231,000. The fair value
of the A-1 Preferred had a similar value to the Series B preferred stock
financing (stated value of $1,000 per share) by which Comstock concurrently
raised $35.7 million in new capital from other investors in October 2010. The
Company recorded an unrealized gain of $11,422,000 related to the preferred
stock received as part of the debt restructuring. This unrealized gain is
included in the net unrealized gain on other investments in the Company's
condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company's Chairman and President also exchanged approximately $7,681,000 in
notes and convertible notes held personally by him for 7,681 shares of A-1
Preferred. Together, the Company and Mr. Winfield will constitute all of the
holders of the A-1 Preferred.
Each share of A-1 Preferred has a stated value of $1,000 per share and a
liquidation and change of control preference equal to the stated value plus
accrued and unpaid dividends. Commencing January 1, 2011, the holders are
entitled to semi-annual dividends at a rate of 7.5% per annum, payable in cash,
-12-
common stock, preferred stock or any combination of the foregoing, at the
election of Comstock. At the holder's election, each share of A-1 Preferred is
convertible at a fixed conversion rate (subject to anti-dilution) into 1,536
shares of common stock of Comstock, therefore converting into common stock at a
conversion price of $0.6510. Each share of A-1 Preferred will entitle the
holder to vote with the holders of common stock as a single class on all
matters submitted to the vote of the common stock (on an as converted basis)
and, for purposes of voting only, each share of A-1 Preferred shall be entitled
to five times the number of votes per common share to which it would otherwise
be entitled. Each share of A-1 Preferred shall entitle its holder to one (1)
vote in any matter submitted to vote of holders of Preferred Stock, voting as a
separate class. The A-1 Preferred, in conjunction with the other series of
newly created Preferred Stock of Comstock, also has certain rights requiring
consent of the Preferred Stock holders for Comstock to take certain corporate
and business actions. The holders will have registration rights with respect to
the shares of common stock underlying the A-1 Preferred and also preemptive
rights. The foregoing description of the A-1 Preferred and the specific terms
of the A-1 Preferred is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
provisions of the Series A Securities Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of
Designation of Preferences and Rights and Limitations of 7 1/2% Series A-1
Convertible Preferred Stock and the Registration Rights Agreement for the
Series A Preferred Stock, which were filed as exhibits to the Company's Current
Report on Form 8-K, dated October 20, 2010.

31, 2010, the Company had an unrealized gain of $400,000 and $441,000,
respectively, related to these warrants.

The fair values of investments in marketable securities are determined by the
most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. The fair
value of the warrants was determined based upon a Black-Scholes option
valuation model.
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. The following table shows
the fair value hierarchy for these assets measured at fair value on a non-
recurring basis are as follows:

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. 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 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Four of the Portsmouth directors serve as directors of Intergroup. Three of
those directors also serve as directors of Santa Fe. The three Santa Fe
directors also serve as directors of Intergroup.
During the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, the Company received
management fees from Justice Investors totaling $93,000 and $172,000,
respectively. These amounts were eliminated in consolidation.
John V. Winfield serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company,
Portsmouth and Santa Fe. Depending on certain market conditions and various
risk factors, the Chief Executive Officer, his family, Portsmouth and Santa Fe
may, at times, invest in the same companies in which the Company invests. The
Company encourages such investments because it places personal resources of the
Chief Executive Officer and his family members, and the resources of Portsmouth
and Santa Fe, at risk in connection with investment decisions made on behalf of
the Company.

2006, with an option to extend the license term for another five years, subject
to certain conditions. Justice also has a Management Agreement with Prism
Hospitality L.P. ("Prism") to perform the day-to-day management functions of
the Hotel.
Until September 30, 2008, the Partnership also derived income from the lease of
the parking garage to Evon. Effective October 1, 2008, Justice entered into an
installment sale agreement with Evon to purchase the remaining term of the
garage lease and related garage assets, and assumed the contract with Ace
Parking for the operations of the garage. Justice also leases a portion of the
lobby level of the Hotel to a day spa operator. Portsmouth also receives
management fees as a general partner of Justice for its services in overseeing
and managing the Partnership's assets. Those fees are eliminated in
consolidation.

In addition to the operations of the Hotel, the Company also generates income
from the ownership and management of real estate. Properties include eighteen
apartment complexes, two commercial real estate properties, and two 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 in California are managed by professional third
party property management companies and the rental properties outside of
California are managed by the Company. The commercial real estate in California
is also managed by the Company.
The Company acquires its investments in real estate and other investments
utilizing cash, securities or debt, subject to approval or guidelines of the
Board of Directors. The Company also invests in income-producing instruments,
equity and debt securities and will consider other investments if such
investments offer growth or profit potential.
Recent Developments
On October 20, 2010, as part of a debt restructuring of one of its investments,
the Company exchanged approximately $13,231,000 in notes, convertible notes and
debt instruments that it held in Comstock Mining, Inc. ("Comstock" - OTCBB:
LODE)) for 13,231 shares ($1,000 stated value) of newly created 7 1/2% Series
A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "A-1 Preferred") of Comstock. Prior to the
exchange, those notes and convertible debt instruments had a carrying value of
$1,809,000, net of impairment adjustments. The Company accounted for the
transaction as an exchange of its debt securities and recorded the new
instruments (A-1 Preferred) received based on their fair value. The Company
estimated the fair value of the A-1 Preferred at $1,000 per share, which was
the stated value of the instrument, for a total of $13,231,000. The fair value
of the A-1 Preferred had a similar value to the Series B preferred stock
financing (stated value of $1,000 per share) by which Comstock concurrently
raised $35.7 million in new capital from other investors in October 2010. The
Company recorded an unrealized gain of $11,422,000 related to the preferred
stock received as part of the debt restructuring.
On October 31, 2010, Justice Investors entered into an amendment to its Parking
Facilities Management Agreement with Ace Parking to extend the term of the
agreement for a period of sixty two (62) months, commencing on November 1, 2010
and terminating December 31, 2015, subject to either party's right to terminate
the agreement without cause on ninety (90) days written notice. The amendment
also modified how an "Excess Profit Fee" to be paid to Ace would be calculated.
The amendment provides that, if net operating income ("NOI") from the garage
operations exceeds $1,800,000 but is less than $2,000,000, then Ace will be
entitled to an Excess Profit Fee of one percent (1%) of the total annual NOI.
If the annual NOI is $2,000,000 or higher, Ace will be entitled to an Excess
Profit Fee equal to two percent (2%) of the total annual NOI. The prior Excess
Profit Fee entitled Ace to receive three percent of NOI in excess of $150,000.
Effective November 30, 2010, the general and limited partners of Justice
Investors entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership, which was approved and ratified by more than 97% of the limited
partnership interests of Justice. The Partnership Agreement was amended and
restated in its entirety to comply with the new provisions of the California
Corporations Code known as the "Uniform Limited Partnership Act of 2008". The
amendment did not result in any material modifications of the rights or
obligations of the general and limited partners.
In November 2010, the Company refinanced its $1,641,000 adjustable rate
mortgage note payable on its 27-unit apartment building for a new 10-year fixed
rate mortgage in the amount of $3,260,000. The interest rate on the new loan
-19-
is fixed at 4.85% per annum, with monthly principal and interest payments based
on a 30-year amortization schedule. The note matures in December 2020. The
Company received net proceeds of approximately $1,507,000 from the refinancing.
In November 2010, the Company also refinanced its $3,569,000 adjustable rate
mortgage note payable on its 31-unit apartment building for a new 10-year fixed
rate mortgage in the amount of $5,787,000. The interest rate on the new loan is
fixed at 4.85% per annum, with monthly principal and interest payments based on
a 30-year amortization schedule. The note matures in December 2020. The
Company received net proceeds of approximately $2,078,000 from the refinancing.
Three Months Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended

The Company had net income of $10,546,000 for the three months ended December
31, 2010 compared to a net loss of $721,000 for the three months ended December
31, 2009. The change is primarily attributable to the significant income
generated from investing activities and the increase in income from hotel
operations.
The Company had income from hotel operations of $355,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 2010, compared to a loss of $152,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 2009. The following table sets forth a more detailed

========== ==========
For the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Hotel generated operating
income of $2,326,000 before interest, depreciation and amortization, on
operating revenues of $9,142,000 compared to operating income of $1,825,000
before interest, depreciation and amortization, on operating revenues of
$8,368,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in income
from Hotel operations is primarily attributable to increases in room, food and
beverage, garage and other revenues in the current period, partially offset by
an increase in operating expenses due to higher labor costs and increased
staffing to improve guest satisfaction.
Room revenues increased by $227,000 for the three months ended December 31,
2010 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009 and food and beverage
revenues increased by $384,000 for the same period. The increase in room
revenues was primarily attributable to a significant increase in average daily
-20-
room rates during the three months ended December 31, 2010 as the Hotel
continued to see an increase in higher rated corporate and group business
travel, which also resulted in higher in food and beverage revenues. The
increase in garage revenues was primarily attributable to increased demand in
the area around the Hotel and a modest increase in transient parking rates. The
increase in other revenues was primarily attributable group business that
either canceled or was less than guaranteed, as well as greater revenues from
Internet services.
The following table sets forth the average daily room rate, average occupancy
percentage and room revenue per available room ("RevPar") of the Hotel for the
three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Three Months Ended Average Average
December 31, Daily Rate Occupancy% RevPar
----------------- ---------- --------- --------
2010 $186 82% $153
2009 $164 86% $141
The operations of the Hotel continued to experience an increase in the higher
rated business and group travel segments as the hospitality industry began to
see some recovery. As a result, the Hotel's average daily rate increased by $22
for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended
December 31, 2009. The modest decrease in occupancy of 4% was due to the Hotel
being able to reduce the amount of discounted Internet business that it was
forced to take in the prior period to maintain occupancy in a very competitive
market. As a result, the Hotel was able to achieve a RevPar number that was $12
higher than the prior period.
During the past year we have seen our management team guide our Hotel through a
difficult economic period by taking bold steps to reduce expenses and implement
innovative strategies in order to improve operations and enhance our
competitiveness in the market. As a result, we believe that the Hotel is now
well positioned to take advantage of a recovery in the hotel industry. We will
continue in our efforts to upgrade our guest rooms and facilities and explore
new and innovative ways to differentiate the Hotel from its competition. Moving
forward, we will also focus on cultivating more international business,
especially from China, and capturing a higher percentage of corporate and group
travel. During the last quarter, we saw continued improvement in business
travel. If that trend in the hotel industry continues, it should translate into
an increase in room revenues and profitability.
While operating in a challenging economy, real estate operations remained
relatively consistent. The Company had real estate revenues of $3,012,000 for
the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared with revenues of $3,077,000
for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Real estate operating expenses
were $1,594,000 and $1,499,000 for the comparative periods. Management
continues to review and analyze the Company's real estate operations to improve
occupancy and rental rates and to reduce expenses and improve efficiencies.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had listed for sale its 249-unit apartment
building located in Austin, Texas and its 132-unit apartment located in San
Antonio, Texas. These properties are classified as held for sale on the
Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet with the operations of these
properties classified under discontinued operations in the condensed
consolidated statements of operations. In January 2011, the Company sold one
of its held for sale properties, the 132-unit apartment complex located in San
Antonio, Texas for $5,500,000 and received net proceeds of approximately
$2,030,000 after the repayment of the related mortgage note payable of
approximately $3,218,000. The Company will realize an estimated gain on the
sale of real estate of approximately $3,200,000.
-21-
The Company had a net gain on marketable securities of $3,703,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 2010 compared to a net gain of $182,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 2009. For the three months ended December 31, 2010,
the Company had a net realized gain of $334,000 and a net unrealized gain of
$3,369,000. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company had a
net realized gain of $4,000,000 and net unrealized loss of $3,818,000. Gains
and losses on marketable securities may fluctuate significantly from period to
period in the future and could have a significant impact on the Company's
results of operations. However, the amount of gain or loss on marketable
securities for any given period may have no predictive value and variations in
amount from period to period may have no analytical value. For a more detailed
description of the composition of the Company's marketable securities please
see the Marketable Securities section below.
The Company may also invest, with the approval of the Securities Investment
Committee and other Company guidelines, in private investment equity funds and
other unlisted securities, such as convertible notes through private
placements. Those investments in non-marketable securities are carried at cost
on the Company's balance sheet as part of other investments, net of other than
temporary impairment losses. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had net
other investments of $17,871,000. On October 20, 2010, as part of a debt
restructuring of one of its investments, the Company exchanged approximately
$13,231,000 in notes, convertible notes and debt instruments that it held in
Comstock Mining, Inc. ("Comstock" - OTCBB: LODE)) for 13,231 shares ($1,000
stated value) of newly created 7 1/2% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock
(the "A-1 Preferred") of Comstock. Prior to the exchange, those notes and
convertible debt instruments had a carrying value of $1,809,000, net of
impairment adjustments. The Company accounted for the transaction as an
exchange of its debt securities and recorded the new instruments (A-1
Preferred) received based on their fair value. The Company estimated the fair
value of the A-1 Preferred at $1,000 per share, which was the stated value of
the instrument, for a total of $13,231,000. The fair value of the A-1
Preferred had a similar value to the Series B preferred stock financing (stated
value of $1,000 per share) by which Comstock concurrently raised $35.7 million
in new capital from other investors in October 2010. The Company recorded an
unrealized gain of $11,422,000 related to the preferred stock received as part
of the debt restructuring. During the three months ended December 31, 2010 and
2009, the Company performed an impairment analysis of its other investments and
determined that one of its investments had other than temporary impairment and
recorded impairment losses of $310,000 and $917,000, for each respective
period.
Dividend and interest income increased to $472,000 for the quarter ended
December 31, 2010 from $55,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009
primarily as the result of receiving a dividend of $348,000 from Comstock
during the most recent quarter.
The provision for income tax (expense)benefit as a percentage of the income
before taxes was lower for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared
to the three months ended December 31, 2009 primarily due to higher income from
Santa Fe during the current period. Consistent with the comparable period,
Santa Fe did not record a tax provision related the income as the result of
history of net losses.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to the Six Months Ended December
31, 2009
The Company had net income of $10,622,000 for the six months ended December 31,
2010 compared to a net loss of $2,048,000 for the six months ended December 31,
2009. The change is primarily attributable to the significant income generated
from investing activities and the increase in income from hotel operations.

The Company had income from hotel operations of $573,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 2010, compared to a loss of $392,000 for the six months

2010 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009 and food and beverage
revenues increased by $614,000 for the same period. The increase in room
revenues was primarily attributable to a significant increase in average daily
room rates during the six months ended December 31, 2010 as the Hotel began to
see an increase in higher rated corporate and group business travel, which also
resulted in higher in food and beverage revenues. The increase in other
revenues was primarily attributable group business in the last three months

-23-
significantly by $28 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the

due to the Hotel being able to reduce the amount of discounted Internet

Margin interest and trading expenses decreased to $627,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 2009 from $728,000 for the six months ended December 31,
2009 primarily as the result of the decrease in margin interest expense related
to the decrease in the use of margin.
The provision for income tax (expense)benefit as a percentage of the income
before taxes was lower for the six months ended December 31, 2010 as compared
to the six months ended December 31, 2009 primarily due to significantly higher
income from Santa Fe during the current period. Consistent with the comparable
period, Santa Fe did not record a tax provision related the income as the
result of history of net losses.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
The Company's investment portfolio is diversified with 78 different equity
positions. The portfolio contains three individual equity securities that are
more than 5% of the equity value of the portfolio with the largest security
being 19.5% of the value of the portfolio. The amount of the Company's
investment in any particular issuer may increase or decrease, and additions or
deletions to its securities portfolio may occur, at any time. While it is the
internal policy of the Company to limit its initial investment in any single
equity to less than 5% of its total portfolio value, that investment could
eventually exceed 5% as a result of equity appreciation or reduction of other
positions. Marketable securities are stated at market value as determined by
the most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date.
As of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the Company had investments in
marketable equity securities of $21,846,000 and $7,712,000, respectively. The

The Company's cash flows are primarily generated from its Hotel operations and
general partner fees from Justice. The Company also receives revenues generated
from the investment of its cash and marketable securities and other
investments. Since the operations of the Hotel were temporarily suspended on
May 31, 2005, and significant amounts of money were expended to renovate and
reposition the Hotel as a Hilton, Justice did not pay any partnership
distributions until the end of March 2007. As a result, the Company had to
depend more on the revenues generated from the investment of its cash and
marketable securities during that transition period.
The Hotel started to generate cash flows from its operations in June 2006. For
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, Justice paid a total of $850,000 in
limited partnership distributions, of which the Company received $425,000. The
fiscal 2009 distributions were paid in September 2008, after which the San
Francisco hotel market began to feel the full impact of the significant
downturn in domestic and international economies that continued throughout
fiscal 2009 and 2010. As a result, no Partnership distributions were paid in
fiscal 2010. Since only a modest improvement in economic conditions is expected
in the lodging industry in calendar 2011, no limited partnership distributions
are anticipated in fiscal 2011. The general partners will continue to monitor
and review the operations and financial results of the Hotel and to set the
amount of any future distributions that may be appropriate based on operating
results, cash flows and other factors, including establishment of reasonable
reserves for debt payments and operating contingencies.
The new Justice Compensation Agreement that became effective on December 1,
2008, when Portsmouth assumed the role of managing general partner of Justice,
has provided additional cash flows to the Company. Under the new Compensation
Agreement, Portsmouth is now entitled to 80% of the minimum base fee to be paid
to the general partners of $285,000, while under the prior agreement,
Portsmouth was entitled to receive only 20% of the minimum base fee. During
the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company received
management fees from Justice Investors totaling $172,000 and $151,000,
respectively.
To meet its substantial financial commitments for the renovation and transition
of the Hotel to a Hilton, Justice had to rely on borrowings to meet its
obligations. On July 27, 2005, Justice entered into a first mortgage loan with
The Prudential Insurance Company of America in a principal amount of
$30,000,000 (the "Prudential Loan"). The term of the Prudential Loan is for
120 months at a fixed interest rate of 5.22% per annum. The Prudential Loan
calls for monthly installments of principal and interest in the amount of
approximately $165,000, calculated on a 30-year amortization schedule. The Loan
is collateralized by a first deed of trust on the Partnership's Hotel property,
including all improvements and personal property thereon and an assignment of
all present and future leases and rents. The Prudential Loan is without
recourse to the limited and general partners of Justice. The principal balance
of the Prudential Loan was $27,453,000 as of December 31, 2010.
On March 27, 2007, Justice entered into a second mortgage loan with Prudential
(the "Second Prudential Loan") in a principal amount of $19,000,000. The term
of the Second Prudential Loan is for 100 months and matures on August 5, 2015,
the same date as the first Prudential Loan. The Second Prudential Loan is at a
fixed interest rate of 6.42% per annum and calls for monthly installments of
principal and interest in the amount of $119,000, calculated on a 30-year
amortization schedule. The Second Prudential Loan is collateralized by a second
deed of trust on the Partnership's Hotel property, including all improvements
-27-
and personal property thereon and an assignment of all present and future
leases and rents. The Second Prudential Loan is also without recourse to the
limited and general partners of Justice. The principal balance of the Second
Prudential Loan was $18,137,000 as of December 31, 2010.
Effective April 29, 2010, the Partnership obtained a modification of its
$2,500,000 unsecured revolving line of credit facility with East West Bank
(formerly United Commercial Bank) that was to mature on April 30, 2010, and
converted that line of credit facility to an unsecured term loan. The
Partnership also obtained a waiver of any prior noncompliance with financial
covenants and paid a loan modification fee of $10,000.
The modification provides that Justice will pay the $2,500,000 balance on its
line of credit facility over a period of four years, to mature on April 30,
2014. This term loan calls for monthly principal and interest payments of
$41,000, calculated on a six-year amortization schedule, with interest only
from May 1, 2010 to August 31, 2010. Pursuant to the modification, the annual
floating interest rate was reduced by 0.5% to the WSJ Prime Rate plus 2.5%
(with a minimum floor rate of 5.0% per annum). The modification includes
financial covenants written to reflect financial conditions that all hotels are
facing. The covenants include specific financial ratios and a return to minimum
profitability by June 2011. Management believes that the Partnership has the
ability to meet the specific covenants and the Partnership was in compliance
with the covenants as of December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010 the
outstanding balance was $2,382,000.
Despite the downturns in the economy, the Hotel has continued to generate
positive cash flows. While the debt service requirements related to the two
Prudential loans, as well as the new term loan to pay off the line of credit,
may create some additional risk for the Company and its ability to generate
cash flows in the future since the Partnership's assets had been virtually debt
free for a number of years, management believes that cash flows from the
operations of the Hotel and the garage will continue to be sufficient to meet
all of the Partnership's current and future obligations and financial
requirements. Management also believes that there is sufficient equity in the
Hotel assets to support future borrowings, if necessary, to fund any new
capital improvements and other requirements.
In November 2010, the Company refinanced its $1,641,000 adjustable rate
mortgage note payable on its 27-unit apartment building for a new 10-year fixed
rate mortgage in the amount of $3,260,000. The interest rate on the new loan
is fixed at 4.85% per annum, with monthly principal and interest payments based
on a 30-year amortization schedule. The note matures in December 2020. The
Company received net proceeds of approximately $1,507,000 from the refinancing.
In November 2010, the Company also refinanced its $3,569,000 adjustable rate
mortgage note payable on its 31-unit apartment building for a new 10-year fixed
rate mortgage in the amount of $5,787,000. The interest rate on the new loan is
fixed at 4.85% per annum, with monthly principal and interest payments based on
a 30-year amortization schedule. The note matures in December 2020. The
Company received net proceeds of approximately $2,078,000 from the refinancing.
The Company has invested in short-term, income-producing instruments and in
equity and debt securities when deemed appropriate. The Company's marketable
securities are classified as trading with unrealized gains and losses recorded
through the consolidated statements of operations.
Management believes that its cash, marketable securities, and the cash flows
generated from those assets and from its real estate operations, partnership
distributions and management fees, will be adequate to meet the Company's
current and future obligations.

=========== ========= ========== ========== ========== ========= ==========
IMPACT OF INFLATION
Hotel room rates are typically impacted by supply and demand factors, not
inflation, since rental of a hotel room is usually for a limited number of
nights. Room rates can be, and usually are, adjusted to account for
inflationary cost increases. Since Prism has the power and ability under the
terms of its management agreement to adjust hotel room rates on an ongoing
basis, there should be minimal impact on partnership revenues due to inflation.
Partnership revenues are also subject to interest rate risks, which may be
influenced by inflation. For the two most recent fiscal years, the impact of
inflation on the Company's income is not viewed by management as material.
The Company's residential rental properties provide income from short-term
operating leases and no lease extends beyond one year. Rental increases are
expected to offset anticipated increased property operating expenses.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Critical accounting policies are those that are most significant to the
presentation of our financial position and results of operations and require
judgments by management in order to make estimates about the effect of matters
that are inherently uncertain. The preparation of these condensed financial
statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts in our consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on
an on-going basis, including those related to the consolidation of our
subsidiaries, to our revenues, allowances for bad debts, accruals, asset
impairments, other investments, income taxes and commitments and contingencies.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates or our
estimates may be affected by different assumptions or conditions.
