PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
The InterGroup Corporation ("InterGroup" or the "Company") is a Delaware
corporation formed in 1985, as the successor to Mutual Real Estate Investment
Trust ("M-REIT"), a New York real estate investment trust created in 1965.
The Company has been a publicly-held company since M-REIT's first public
offering of shares in 1966 and has been a reporting company pursuant to
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since that time.
The Company was organized to buy, develop, operate, rehabilitate and dispose
of real property of various types and descriptions, and to engage in such
other business and investment activities as would benefit the Company and its
shareholders. The Company was founded upon, and remains committed to, social
responsibility. Such social responsibility was originally defined as
providing decent and affordable housing to people without regard to race. In
1985, after examining the impact of federal, state and local equal housing
laws, the Company determined to broaden its definition of social
responsibility. The Company changed its form from a REIT to a corporation so
that it could pursue a variety of investments beyond real estate and broaden
its social impact to engage in any opportunity which would offer the potential
to increase shareholder value within the Company's underlying commitment to
social responsibility, which it redefined to encompass investments in any area
which can have a socially redeeming value and promote the establishment of a
fair, equal and better society.
-3-
The Company's principal sources of revenue have been, and continue to be,
derived from the operations of its multi-family residential properties, from
the sales and disposition of its real property assets, from the operations of
its majority owned subsidiary, Santa Fe Financial Corporation ("Santa Fe"),
and from the investment of its cash and securities assets. Santa Fe is a
public company (OTCBB: SFEF).
BUSINESS OF ISSUER
The Company's principal business is the ownership and management of real
estate. Properties include nineteen apartment complexes, an equity interest
in a hotel, 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 with exception of the Austin, Texas
and Irving, Texas properties, are managed by professional third party property
management companies.
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. See Item 2 for a description of
the Company's current investments in real estate and its investment policies
concerning real property and marketable securities.
As of June 30, 2006, the Company had the power to vote 78%, of the voting
shares of Santa Fe Financial Corporation ("Santa Fe"), a public company
(OTCBB: SFEF). 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), which derives its revenue
primarily as a general partner and a 50.0% limited partner in Justice
Investors, a California limited partnership ("Justice" or the "Partnership").
Justice owns the land, improvements and leaseholds now known as the Hilton San
Francisco Financial District, a 549-room hotel in San Francisco, California
(the "Hotel"). Both Santa Fe and Portsmouth are consolidated into the
Company's financial statements.
In April 2006, Portsmouth purchased a 0.20% limited partnership interest in
Justice from another limited partner for $180,000, which brought Portsmouth's
limited partnership interest in Justice to exactly 50.0%. Portsmouth's
investment in Justice is recorded on the equity basis. Portsmouth also serves
as one of the two general partners. The other general partner, Evon
Corporation ("Evon"), acts as the managing general partner. All significant
partnership decisions require the active participation and approval of both
general partners. The Company and Evon jointly consult and determine the
amount of partnership reserves and the amount of cash to be distributed to the
limited partners. As of June 30, 2006, there were approximately 86 limited
partners in Justice (not including multiple family accounts).
Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, voting rights of the
partners are determined according to the partners' entitlement to share in the
net profit and loss of the partnership. The Company is not entitled to any
additional voting rights by virtue of its position as a general partner.
The partnership agreement also provides that no portion of the partnership
real property can be sold without the written consent of the general and
limited partners entitled to more than 72% of the net profit.
-4-
The Company's principal business is conducted through its general and limited
partnership interest in Justice. Justice was formed in 1967 to acquire real
property for the development and lease of a hotel located at 750 Kearny
Street, San Francisco, California 94108(the "Hotel") and related facilities,
including a five level underground parking garage. Historically, the
Partnership's most significant source of income was a lease between Justice
and Holiday Inn for the Hotel portion of the property. That lease was amended
in 1995, and ultimately assumed by Felcor Lodging Trust, Inc. ("Felcor", NYSE:
FCH) in 1998. As discussed below, the lease of the Hotel to Felcor was
terminated effective June 30, 2004. The Partnership also derives income from
its lease of the garage portion of the property to Evon and the lease of
approximately 5,400 square feet on the lobby level of the Hotel to Tru Spa,
LLC for the operation of a health and beauty spa. As a general partner,
Portsmouth takes an active role in monitoring and overseeing the operations of
the Hotel, the lease of the parking garage and the spa.
The Company also derives income from management fees as a general partner in
Justice and from the investment of its cash and securities assets. The Company
has invested in income-producing instruments, equity and debt securities and
will consider other investments if such investments offer growth or profit
potential. Please see discussion of Investment Policies under Item 2 below.
SAN FRANCISCO HOTEL LEASE
The Hotel portion of the Partnership's San Francisco property was initially
leased to Holiday Inns of America in 1970 and operated as a Holiday Inn brand
hotel. On March 15, 1995, an amended and restated lease was entered into by
Justice with an effective date of January 1, 1995 (the "Hotel Lease"). The
Hotel Lease was assumed by Felcor, effective July 28, 1998 and continued to be
operated as a Holiday Inn. The initial term of the Hotel Lease was for a 10-
year term expiring on December 31, 2004. The lessee also had an option to
renew the lease for one additional term of five years, which would extend the
lease to December 31, 2009. The Hotel Lease required the lessee to pay an
annual rent of the greater of twenty percent (20%) of gross room revenues or
$2,500,000 plus fifty percent (50%) of lessee's cash available as defined by
the Hotel Lease. Under the terms of the Hotel Lease, the lessee was
responsible for all maintenance and repairs to the property, certain capital
improvements, taxes and insurance. The lessee also had an obligation to
convert the Hotel property to a "Holiday Inn Select" and to maintain the
property to those standards, at its own cost and expense.
In July 2003, Justice delivered to the hotel lessee, a notice citing certain
deficiencies in the physical condition of the hotel property and in its
furniture, fixtures and equipment and requested that those deficiencies be
corrected in accordance with the lessee's obligations under the Hotel Lease.
On May 3, 2004, Justice entered into a Settlement Agreement with Felcor to
resolve disputes regarding certain obligations of Felcor and others under the
terms of the Hotel Lease. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement,
Felcor was required to pay to Justice $5,000,000 towards the costs of capital
repairs, replacements and improvements necessary to place the hotel in the
condition required by the Hotel Lease at the end of its term. Felcor also
agreed to transfer to Justice and terminate its leasehold estate and its
option right under the Hotel Lease, effective June 30, 2004. In addition, the
parties to the Settlement agreed to mutual releases and to cooperate for a
smooth transition of the operations of the Hotel. The Settlement Agreement
was fully effectuated as of June 30, 2004.
-5-
DOW HOTEL COMPANY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
With the termination of the Hotel Lease, Justice assumed the role of an owner
operator of the Hotel on July 1, 2004. On May 19, 2004, Justice entered into
a third party Management Agreement with Dow Hotel Company, LLC, a Washington
limited liability company ("Dow") to operate and manage the Hotel as an agent
of the Partnership, effective July 1, 2004. The Management Agreement has an
initial term of 10 years, with an option of Justice to extend the original
term for another 10 year period. The Management Agreement provides for a base
management fee to Dow of up to 2.5% of annual gross operating revenues of the
Hotel and incentive fees not to exceed, in the aggregate, 4% of gross
operating revenues of the Hotel. The Management Agreement can be terminated
by Justice upon at least 60 days written notice, subject to certain
termination fees during the first year of the Agreement.
On March 25, 2005, the Partnership entered into an amendment of the Dow
Management Agreement to cover the period of time the Hotel was closed for
renovations. Pursuant to that amendment, Dow was entitled to a fee for
services rendered under the Management Agreement in the amount of $15,000 per
month, which was paid as follows: (i) one half ($7,500) payable monthly and
(ii) the other half ($7,500) earned, but payment deferred until the first
month that the Hotel had a positive net operating income sufficient to make
such lump sum payment, but in no event later than April 1, 2006. Management
fees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 were approximately $193,000 and
no incentive management fees were earned for that period.
HOLIDAY HOSPITALITY FRANCHISING AGREEMENT
Effective July 1, 2004, The Partnership entered into a short term franchise
agreement with Holiday Inn Hospitality Franchising, Inc. to continue to
operate the Hotel as a Holiday Inn Select brand hotel, until such time as the
Partnership was able to secure a replacement hotel brand and operate the Hotel
under a new flag. Under the terms of that Holiday Inn franchise agreement,
the Partnership paid monthly royalties, marketing and reservation fees of 5%,
1.5% and 1%, respectively, of the Hotel's gross room revenue for the preceding
calendar month. The Holiday Inn franchise agreement terminated on May 31,
2005, at which time the Hotel was closed for renovations.
HILTON HOTELS FRANCHISE LICENSE AGREEMENT
With the termination of the Hotel Lease to Felcor, the Partnership was able to
actively pursue a franchise agreement with a new nationally recognized brand
in an effort to move the Hotel up-market and become more competitive. After
considering and negotiating with several brands, the Partnership entered into
a Franchise License Agreement with Hilton Hotels Corporation (the "Hilton
Franchise Agreement") on December 10, 2004 for the right to operate the Hotel
as a Hilton brand hotel. The term of the Hilton Franchise Agreement is for 15
years commencing on the opening date of the Hotel, with an option to extend
that Agreement for another five years, subject to certain conditions.
The Partnership will pay monthly royalty fees for the first two years of three
percent of the Hotel's gross room revenue, as defined, for the preceding
calendar month, the third year will be four percent of the Hotel's gross room
revenue, and the fourth year until the end of the term will be five percent of
the Hotel's gross room revenue. The partnership will also pay a monthly
program fee of four percent of the Hotel's gross room revenue and an
-6-
information technology recapture charge of 0.75% of the Hotel's gross revenue.
The amount of the monthly program fee is subject to change; however, the
monthly fee will not exceed five percent of gross room revenue.
Prior to operating the Hotel as a Hilton hotel, the Partnership was required
to make substantial renovations to the Hotel to meet Hilton standards in
accordance with a product improvement plan ("PIP") agreed upon by Hilton and
the Partnership, as well as comply with other brand standards. That project
included a complete renovation and upgrade of all of the Hotel's guestrooms,
meeting rooms, common areas and restaurant and bar. As of January 12, 2006
the Hotel renovation work was substantially completed, at which time Justice
obtained approval from Hilton to open the Hotel as the "Hilton San Francisco
Financial District". The Hotel opened with a limited number of rooms available
to rent, which increased as the Hotel transitioned into full operations by the
end of February 2006.
The total cost of the construction-renovation project of the Hotel was
approximately $36.4 million, which excludes approximately $630,000 in interest
costs incurred during for the construction phase that were capitalized. To
meet those substantial financial commitments, and the costs of operations
during the renovation period and for the first five months when the Hotel
ramped up its operations, the Partnership has relied on additional borrowings
to meet its obligations. As discussed in Item 2 herein, the Partnership has
been able to secure financing, collateralized by the Hotel, in the aggregate
amount of up to $46,500,000 to meet those commitments. That amount of leverage
and the associated debt service will create additional risk for the
Partnership and its ability to generate cash flows in the future since the
Hotel asset has been virtually debt free for many years.
TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF HOTEL FOR RENOVATIONS
On March 15, 2005, the Partnership announced its decision to close down its
Hotel operations effective, May 31, 2005, to complete the renovations of the
Hotel as required by the Hilton Franchise Agreement. The Partnership made
this decision because of, among other things, the scope of the work in the
common areas, engineering factors and potential environmental and safety
issues which made it preferable to temporarily close the Hotel portion of the
property. The Hotel was closed for more than seven months before it reopened
as the "Hilton San Francisco Financial District" on January 12, 2006. The
below ground parking garage and Tru Spa located on the lobby level of the
Hotel, both of which are lessees of the Partnership, remained open during the
renovation work.
GARAGE LEASE AND OPERATIONS
The garage lease between the Partnership and Evon provides for a monthly
rental of sixty percent (60%) of gross parking revenues with a minimum rent of
$19,764 per month. That lease expires in November 2010. The lessee is
responsible for insurance, repairs and maintenance, utilities and all taxes
assessed against the improvements to the leased premises. The garage was
operated by Ampco Systems Parking ("Ampco") pursuant to a sublease agreement.
On August 31, 2005, Evon terminated its sublease with Ampco. Effective
September 1, 2005, Ace Parking Management, Inc. ("Ace Parking") became the new
parking garage operator pursuant to a Parking Facility Management Agreement
with the garage lessee, Evon. That agreement is for a period of sixty two
months (62) months and terminates on October 31, 2010, with a five year option
to renew. The agreement can be terminated upon ten (10) days prior written
notice of the termination of Evon's lease of the garage or upon 90 days
written notice without cause. The agreement provides that Evon will pay a
-7-
management fee to Ace of $2,000 per month, plus an accounting fee of $250 per
month, plus 3% of the annual net profit, as defined, from the operations of
the garage in excess of $100,000.
TRU SPA LEASE
During July 2002, Justice entered into a lease with Tru Spa, LLC, which was
amended effective January 1, 2004. The lease premises consist of
approximately 5,400 square feet of space on the lobby level of the hotel for
the construction and operation of a health and beauty spa. The term of the
lease is for ten years commencing with the opening of the spa on June 1, 2003,
with a five year option to extend the term. The spa lease provides for
minimum monthly rent of $11,667, additional rent of $2,072 (up to a total of
$250,000 to help defray certain relocation construction costs) and other
tenant fees. Minimum rental amounts are subject to adjustment every three
years based on any percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index. Under the
terms of the lease, Justice was responsible for up to $1,497,586 in leasehold
improvements, which were paid using the partnership's line of credit. The spa
lease is structured to reimburse the Partnership for those leasehold
improvements over the term of the lease. Due to the certain disruptions of
the operations of the spa resulting from the temporary closing of the Hotel
and the renovation work, the Partnership and Tru Spa entered into lease
amendments that would permit Tru Spa to apply its security deposit of $35,000
to pay its monthly obligations for June 30, 2005 and July 31, 2005, with the
balance to be applied as partial payment of its August 2005 rent and to
provide for a rent free period for the balance of the August 2005 rent through
January 31, 2006. The Partnership reserved the right, in its discretion, to
require Tru Spa to make an additional security deposit in the future. The
Partnership believes that the spa facilities in the Hotel will help it to be
more competitive in the future by providing greater amenities to its guests.
CHINESE CULTURE FOUNDATION LEASE
On March 15, 2005, the Partnership entered into an amended lease with the
Chinese Culture Foundation of San Francisco (the "Foundation") for the third
floor space of the Hotel commonly known as the Chinese Cultural Center. The
amended lease requires the Partnership to pay to the Foundation a monthly
event space fee in the amount of $4,600, adjusted annually based on the local
Consumer Price Index. The term of the amended lease remains the same as the
current lease, expiring on October 17, 2023, with an automatic extension for
another 10 year term if the property continues to be operated as a hotel. This
amendment allowed Justice to incorporate the third floor into the renovation
of the Hotel resulting in a new ballroom for the joint use of the Hotel and
new offices and a gallery for the Chinese Culture Center.
COMPENSATION OF GENERAL PARTNERS AND REPOSITIONING FEES
Due to the termination of the Hotel Lease on June 30, 2004, it was necessary
for the Partnership to amend the agreement by which the general partners of
Justice were compensated since the general partners would be taking on new
responsibilities as Justice assumed the role as owner-operator of the Hotel.
Furthermore, the prior agreement was based on a percentage of gross rents,
which the Partnership would no longer be receiving from the Hotel. The
expiring compensation agreement provided that the general partners were
entitled to receive compensation equal to 3% of the annual gross rents of the
partnership. From the first $150,000 of compensation payable to the general
partners, $120,000 was payable to Evon, as the managing general partner, and
$30,000 is payable to Portsmouth as the other general partner. Any
compensation in excess of the $150,000 was to be split 50/50 between the
general partners.
-8-
On July 16, 2004, Justice entered into a new General Partner Compensation
Agreement (the "Compensation Agreement"), with an effective date of May 31,
2004. This was done to provide adequate compensation to Evon and Portsmouth
and provide incentives to the general partners to encourage excellence in the
performance of their responsibilities. The new agreement provides that the
general partners will receive annual base compensation of 1.5% of gross
revenues, with a minimum annual base compensation of $263,000, adjusted for
inflation. From the minimum annual base compensation, 80% will be paid to Evon
for its services as the managing general partner and 20% will be paid to
Portsmouth as the other general partner. Base annual compensation in excess of
the minimum will be payable in equal amounts to Evon and Portsmouth. The
maximum base annual compensation that can be earned by the general partners is
1.5% of $40,000,000 of gross revenues. The Compensation Agreement also
provides for incentive compensation to the general partners in a sum equal to
the 5.0% of the annual net operating income of Justice, as defined in the Dow
Management Agreement, that is in excess of $7,000,000. Incentive compensation
shall be payable in equal amounts to Evon and Portsmouth.
In addition, the Compensation Agreement provides that the general partners are
to receive a repositioning fee in the aggregate amount of $275,000, to be paid
in equal amounts to Evon and Portsmouth in two installments. The first
installment of approximately $69,000 to each of Evon and Portsmouth was paid
within 10 days of the execution of the Compensation Agreement with the second
installment paid upon the substantial completion of the renovation of the
Hotel.
Due to the expanded scope of the renovation project, the additional time
commitments required of the general partners and the increased value brought
to the Partnership as a result of the repositioning of the Hotel, Justice
entered into an amended and restated compensation agreement with its general
partners, Evon and Portsmouth, effective February 23, 2006. Pursuant to that
amended agreement, Evon and Portsmouth are each to receive a total of $378,000
in repositioning fees as compensation for their services rendered to Justice
with respect to repositioning the Hotel and restructuring its business and
management subject to certain performance criteria. For fiscal year ended June
30, 2006, a total of $119,000 in repositioning fees was paid to Portsmouth. An
additional $100,000 in repositioning fees has been earned by Portsmouth and
accrued by Justice but not yet paid.
COMPETITION
All of the properties owned by the Company are in areas where there is
substantial competition. However, management believes that its apartments,
hotel, and commercial properties are generally in a competitive position in
their respective communities. The Company intends to continue upgrading and
improving the physical condition of its existing properties and will consider
selling existing properties, which the Company believes have realized their
potential, and re-investing in properties that may require renovation but that
offer greater appreciation potential.
Until May 31, 2005, the Hotel was operated as a Holiday Inn brand hotel and
was part of Holiday Inn's worldwide reservation system. The Hotel was
designed to Holiday Inn's specifications to serve both business travelers and
tourists and cater to both individuals and tour groups. It also handled
conferences and business meetings, having meeting and dining facilities for
groups of up to 400 people. The Hotel had traditionally enjoyed a favorable
year-round occupancy rate, but both occupancy and average daily room rates
suffered since fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. Newer and more upscale
properties opened in or near the Financial District, which provide greater
amenities to its guests, making it difficult for the Hotel to compete. Those
competitors were better positioned to attract both the business traveler and
-9-
tourists. Management believed that the Hotel could not continue to be
competitive under the conditions it operated under while a Holiday Inn Select
brand hotel. The Hotel was approximately 25 years old, with no major
renovations having been made to the property during that time. By terminating
the Hotel Lease with Felcor, and taking over the operations of the Hotel, the
Partnership obtained much greater ability to direct the future of the Hotel.
The newly opened Hilton San Francisco Financial District hotel has 549 well
appointed guestrooms and luxury suites with bay or city views, featuring large
working desks, ergonomic chairs, wired and wireless high-speed Internet
access, and "The Suite Dreams" beds by Hilton, complete with duvet, down
comforter and jumbo size pillows. The newly redesigned meeting rooms and
ballroom will accommodate meetings and events for up to 500 people with video
conferencing and premium audio/visual equipment. A new business center and
fitness center are additional amenities. The new Hilton hotel also has the
only hotel day spa (Tru Spa) in the Financial District. A redesigned entry way
is integrated into the lobby and management expects the new restaurant "Seven
Fifty" and lounge, with a dramatic fireplace treatment, are expected to bring
a new level of excitement and service to the guests of the Hotel. Management
believes that the new Hilton hotel now has the ability to directly compete
with all hotels in the Financial District.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 2006, the Company had a total of 11 full-time employees in its
corporate office. Effective July 2002, the Company entered into a client
service agreement with Administaff Companies II, L.P. ("Administaff"), a
professional employer organization serving as an off-site, full service human
resource department for its corporate office. Administaff personnel
management services are delivered by entering into a co-employment
relationship with the Company's employees. There are also approximately 10
employees at the Company's properties outside of the State of California that
are subject to similar co-employment relationships with Administaff. The
employees and the Company are not party to any collective bargaining
agreement, and the Company believes that its employee relations are
satisfactory.
Item 2. Description of Properties.
PROPERTIES
At June 30, 2006, the Company's investment in real estate consisted of
properties located throughout the United States, but which are concentrated in
Texas and Southern California. These properties include nineteen apartment
complexes, two single-family houses as strategic investments, and two
commercial real estate properties, one of which serves as the Company's
corporate headquarters. All properties are operating properties with
exception of the Company's corporate office. In addition to the properties,
the Company owns approximately 4.1 acres of unimproved real estate in Texas
and 2 acres of unimproved land in Maui, Hawaii.
The Company also owns an interest in a San Francisco hotel property through
its subsidiaries' interest in Justice Investors. In the opinion of
management, each of the properties is adequately covered by insurance. None
of the properties are subject to foreclosure proceedings or litigation, other
than such litigation incurred in the normal course of business. The Company's
rental property leases are short-term leases, with no lease extending beyond
one year.
-10-
Las Colinas, Texas. The Las Colinas property is a water front apartment
community along Beaver Creek that was developed in 1993 with 358 units on
approximately 15.6 acres of land. The Company acquired the complex on April

San Francisco, California Hotel.
The newly opened Hilton San Francisco Financial District hotel is owned
directly by the Partnership. The Hotel is centrally located near the Financial
District, one block from the Transamerica Pyramid. The Embarcadero Center is
within walking distance and North Beach is two blocks away. Chinatown is
directly across the bridge that runs from the hotel to Portsmouth Square Park.
The Hotel is a 31-story (including parking garage), steel and concrete, A-
frame building, which has 549 well appointed guest rooms and luxury suites
situated on 22 floors as well as a 5,400 square foot Tru Spa health and beauty
spa on the lobby level. The third floor houses the Chinese Culture Center and
grand ballroom. The Hotel has approximately 15,000 square feet of meeting
room space, including the grand ballroom. Other features of the Hotel include
a rooftop swimming pool, 5-storied underground garage and pedestrian bridge
across Kearny Street connecting the Hotel and the Chinese Culture Center with
Portsmouth Square Park in Chinatown. The bridge, built and owned by the
partnership, is included in the lease to the Chinese Culture Center.
The Hotel is located in an area of intense competition from other hotels in
the Financial District. Since the Hotel was just reopened under the Hilton
brand after being closed for more than seven months for a substantial
renovation project, some hotels may be better known to the business and
leisure traveler. It may take some time for the Hotel, now operating as a
Hilton, to gain recognition as a totally upgraded and higher level property
after being under the Holiday Inn brand for almost 25 years. The Hotel is
also somewhat limited by having only 15,000 square feet of meeting room space.
Other hotels, with greater meeting room space, may have a competitive
advantage by being able to attract larger groups and small conventions.
Management, in conjunction with its management company Dow and Hilton, will
make every effort to market the Hotel as an upscale property to business
travelers, leisure customers and small to medium size groups. While it may
take some time for the Hotel to be fully recognized and reach its full
potential, management believes that the substantial renovations made to the
Hotel, coupled with the strength of the Hilton brand and its Hilton Honors
program, have provided the foundation for the Hotel to meet or exceed all of
its competition.
-14-
Since the Hotel was just totally renovated, there is no present program for
any further major renovations; however, the Partnership expects to reserve
approximately 3% of gross annual Hotel revenues for calendar year 2006 and 4%
of gross annual Hotel revenues for each year thereafter for future capital
requirements. In the opinion of management the property is adequately covered
by insurance.
PROPERTY FINANCINGS
On July 27, 2005, Justice entered into a first mortgage loan (the "Prudential
Loan") with The Prudential Insurance Company of America in a principal amount
of $30,000,000. The term of the Loan is for 120 months at a fixed interest
rate of 5.22% per annum. The Loan calls for monthly installments of principal
and interest in the amount of approximately $165,000, calculated on a 360
month 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 Loan is without recourse to the limited and general partners of
Justice.
From the proceeds of the Prudential Loan, the Partnership retired its then
existing line of credit in the approximate amount of $4,500,000, including
accrued interest, and paid off a short term uncollateralized line of credit
from United Commercial Bank in the amount of $2,007,000, including accrued
interest.
On July 27, 2005, Justice also obtained a new $10,000,000 Revolving Line of
Credit ("LOC") from United Commercial Bank. The term of the LOC is for 60
months, expiring on June 30, 2010, at an annual interest rate based on the
index selected by Justice at the time of the request for each advance. The
interest rate will either be a variable rate equal to The Wall Street Journal
Prime Rate or the Libor Rate plus 2%, fixed for the period selected by the
Partnership. The LOC is collateralized by a second deed of trust on the Hotel
property. Interest only is payable monthly with principal and accrued interest
due at maturity. On January 20, 2006, the Partnership obtained a $4,500,000
increase in its LOC, raising the total amount available to the Partnership to
$14,500,000. The increase in the credit line is on the same terms as the
existing line of credit with additional loan and documentation fees of $4,000.
On May 23, 2006, Justice obtained a short term increase of its LOC of an
additional $2,000,000, raising the total amount available to the Partnership
to $16,500,000. If the short term increase is not paid off by December 31,
2006, UCB has the right to record a lien on the Hotel property for the
additional $2,000,000. That increase is also on the same terms as the existing
LOC, with additional documentation fees of $1,000. As of June 30, 2006,
approximately $16,000,000 of the LOC was utilized.
The Prudential Loan and the LOC have provided Justice with sufficient
financial resources for the Partnership to complete the substantial
renovations to the Hotel required by its Franchise License Agreement with
Hilton and to meet its debt service requirements and operating capital needs
through the reopening of the Hotel and the period of time necessary to ramp up
operations. The Hotel started to generate net operating income in June 2006.
The Partnership also believes that there is sufficient equity in the Hotel
assets to support future borrowings if necessary. The Partnership believes
that the revenues expected to be generated from the Hotel operations for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 2006, and in the future, will be sufficient to
meet all of its current and future obligations and financial requirements.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT POLICIES
The most significant investment activity of the Company has been to acquire,
renovate, operate, and when appropriate, sell income-producing real estate.
Through its marketable securities portfolio, the Company has indirectly
invested in additional real estate related investments such as hotels and
office buildings.
The Company may also look for new real estate investment opportunities in
hotels, apartments, office buildings and shopping centers. The acquisition of
any new real estate investments will depend on the Company's ability to find
suitable investment opportunities and the availability of sufficient financing
to acquire such investments. To help fund any such acquisition, the Company
plans to borrow funds to leverage its investment capital. The amount of any
such debt will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to,
the availability of financing and the sufficiency of the acquisition
property's projected cash flows to support the operations and debt service.
MORTGAGES
Information with respect to mortgage notes payable of the Company is set forth
in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company's Los Angeles, California properties are subject to various rent
control laws, ordinances and regulations which impact the Company's ability to
adjust and achieve higher rental rates.
MANAGEMENT OF THE PROPERTIES
The Company may engage third party management companies as agents to manage
certain of Company's residential rental properties. Effective April 2006, the
Company entered into third party management agreements (the "Agreements") with
JPI Management Services, L.P. ("JPI") for property management services for
five of its properties located in: Irving, Texas; San Antonio, Texas;
Parsippany, New Jersey; Florissant, Missouri; and Florence, Kentucky. The
Agreements provide for a management fee equal to 3.5% of the gross monthly
receipts of each property and are for a term of one year, but can be
terminated by either party upon thirty days written notice.
Effective August 2005, the Company entered into a Management Agreement with
Century West Properties, Inc. ("Century West") to act as an agent of the
Company to rent and manage all of the Company's residential rental properties
in the Los Angeles, California area. The Management Agreement with Century
West is for a term of twelve months ending on July 31, 2006 and will continue
thereafter on a month-to-month basis, unless terminated upon 30 days prior
written notice. The Management Agreements provide for a monthly fee equal to
4% of the monthly gross receipts from the properties with resident managers
and a fee of 4 1/2% of monthly gross receipts for properties without resident
mangers.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES INVESTMENT POLICIES
In addition to real estate, the Company also invests from time to time in
income producing instruments, corporate debt and equity securities, mortgage
backed securities, securities issued by REIT's and other companies which
invest primarily in real estate.
The Company's securities investments are made under the supervision of a
Securities Investment Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee
currently has three members and is chaired by the Company's Chairman of the
Board and President, John V. Winfield. The Committee has delegated authority
to manage the portfolio to the Company's Chairman and President together with
such assistants and management committees he may engage. The Committee has
established investment guidelines for the Company's investments. These
guidelines presently include: (i) corporate equity securities should be listed
on the New York or American Stock Exchanges or the Nasdaq NMS Market; (ii)
securities should be priced above $5.00 per share; and (iii) investment in a
particular issuer should not exceed 5% of the market value of the total
portfolio. The investment policies do not require the Company to divest itself
of investments, which initially meet these guidelines but subsequently fail to
meet one or more of the investment criteria. Non-conforming investments
require the approval of the Securities Investment Committee. The Committee
has in the past approved non-conforming investments and may in the future
approve non-conforming investments. The Securities Investment Committee may
modify these guidelines from time to time.
-17-
The Company's investment portfolio is diversified with 60 different equity
securities. The Company has five individual positions that comprise more than
5% of the equity value of the portfolio with the largest being 10.2% of the
value of the portfolio. The amount of the Company's investment in any
particular issue may increase or decrease, and additions or reductions 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 reductions in 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 June
30, 2006, the market value of the Company's marketable securities was
$29,186,000.
The Company may also invest, with the approval of the Securities Investment
Committee, in unlisted securities, such as convertible notes, through private
placements including private equity investment funds. Those investments in
non-marketable securities are carried at cost on the Company's balance sheet
as part of other investments and reviewed for impairment on a periodic basis.
As of June 30, 2006, the Company had other investments of $4,344,000.
As part of its investment strategies, the Company may assume short positions
in marketable securities. Short sales are used by the Company to potentially
offset normal market risks undertaken in the course of its investing
activities or to provide additional return opportunities. As of June 30,
2006, the Company had obligations for securities sold (equities short) of
$6,635,000 and had no naked short positions.
In addition, the Company may utilize margin for its marketable securities
purchases through the use of standard margin agreements with national
brokerage firms. The use of available leverage is guided by the business
judgment of management and is subject to any internal investment guidelines,
which may be imposed by the Securities Investment Committee. The margin used
by the Company may fluctuate depending on market conditions. The use of
leverage could be viewed as risky and the market values of the portfolio may
be subject to large fluctuations. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had a
margin balance of $11,532,000 and incurred $767,000 and $904,000 in margin
interest expense during the year ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005,
respectively.
On July 18, 2003, the disinterested members of the respective Boards of
Directors of the Company's subsidiary, Santa Fe and Santa Fe's subsidiary,
Portsmouth, established a performance based compensation program for the
Company's CEO, John V. Winfield, to keep and retain his services as a direct
and active manager of the securities portfolios of those companies. On
January 12, 2004, the disinterested members of the Securities Investment
Committee of InterGroup also established a performance based compensation
program for Mr. Winfield, which was ratified by the Board of Directors. The
terms of that compensation arrangement are discussed in detail in Item 10
"Executive Compensation" of this Report. During the year ended June 30, 2006,
no performance based compensation was earned by the Company's CEO. During the
year ended June 30, 2005, the Company and subsidiaries paid $320,000 to the
Company's CEO as performance based compensation related to the management of
the securities portfolios.
As Chairman of the Securities Investment Committee, the Company's President
and Chief Executive officer, 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
-18-
and Chairman of Santa Fe and Portsmouth and oversees the investment activity
of those companies. Depending on certain market conditions and various risk
factors, the Chief Executive Officer, his family, Santa Fe and Portsmouth 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 Santa
Fe and Portsmouth, at risk in connection with investment decisions made on
behalf of the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's principal business is the ownership and operation of real
estate. Properties include nineteen apartment complexes, an equity interest
in a hotel, 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 with exception of its Austin, Texas
and Irving, Texas properties, are managed by professional third party property
management companies.
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.
For the Year Ended June 30, 2006 as compared to June 30, 2005.
The Company had a net loss of $1,923,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006
compared a net loss of $3,128,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005. The
reduction in the net loss is primarily the result of the significant
improvement in net gains(losses) from investments to net gains of $4,921,000
during the year ended June 30, 2006 from net losses of $4,874,000 during the
year ended June 30, 2005, partially offset by the decrease in income from
discontinued operations (properties sold or listed for sale) to $583,000 for
the year ended June 30, 2006 from $3,483,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005
and the increase in the equity in net loss of Justice Investors to $4,564,000
for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $2,303,000 for the year ended June 30,
2005.
-21-
The loss from real estate operations increased to $2,158,000 for the year
ended June 30, 2006 from $1,756,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005 primarily
as the result in the increase in property operating expenses to $6,315,000 for
fiscal year 2006 from $4,608,000 for fiscal year 2005, partially offset by the
amortization of an intangible asset of $555,000 and the loss on early
extinguishment of debt of $160,000 during the year ended June 30, 2005.
The increase in property operating expenses is due to management's overall
effort to improve the Company's real estate operations and to prepare for sale
certain non-strategic real estate properties. As the result of management's
effort to improve the condition of the Company's apartments and to provide a
higher quality of service to the current and potential tenants, across the
Company's real estate portfolio, repairs and maintenance expenses increased by
approximately $744,000 and leasing and other services expenses increased by
approximately $168,000. Management also hired professional third party
property managers during fiscal year 2006 to oversee the day-to-day real
estate operations of all the Company's rental properties with exception to the
two properties located in Austin and Irving, Texas, respectively. This
resulted in additional property management fees of approximately $159,000 for
the year end June 30, 2006. In-house real estate management is currently
focusing on improving the two properties not managed by third party property
managers with the Irving, Texas property currently listed for sale. The
operational results of this property are classified under discontinued
operations. The additional operating expenses incurred to improve the real
estate operations did increase rental income to $12,014,000 for fiscal year
2006 from $11,630,000 for fiscal year 2005.
During fiscal 2006, utilities expense, which is a component of real estate
operating expenses, increased by $120,000 as the result of higher energy
costs. Professional fees related to the management of the properties also
increased by approximately $450,000. During the year ended June 30, 2006, the
Company hired a professional consultant and paid $250,000 in consulting fees
to help management analyze and determine which non-strategic real estate
properties to sell. The sale of some of these real estate assets is discussed
below. Additionally, during fiscal 2006, the Company incurred approximately
$200,000 in litigation and settlement expenses related to two of its
California properties. These expenses are included in property operating
expenses.
Gains on the sale of real estate decreased to $1,321,000 for the year ended
June 30, 2006 from $6,069,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005. During fiscal
2006, the Company sold three apartment properties and a parcel of land and
realized gains on the sale of real estate of totaling $1,321,000. During
fiscal year 2005, the Company sold 442-unit apartment complex located in
Houston, Texas, for $11,850,000 and recognized a gain of $6,069,000. These
real estate sales are a part of the Company's overall strategy to sell-off
non-strategic assets.
In February 2006, the Company sold 5.4 acres of unimproved land in Pasadena,
Texas for $467,000 and recognized a gain on the sale of $147,000. In December
2005, the Company sold its 54-unit apartment complex located in Irving, Texas
for $3,100,000 and realized a gain on the sale of real estate of $598,000.
In November 2005, the Company sold its 5-unit apartment complex located in Los
Angeles, California for $1,620,000 and realized a gain on the sale of real
estate of $592,000. In August 2005, the Company sold its 112-unit apartment
complex located in Austin, Texas for $4,400,000 and realized a net loss on the
sale real estate of $16,000. The net gain on the sales of these properties
and the related revenues and expenses are excluded from the real estate
operations and are presented under discontinued operations.
-22-
During the twelve months ended June 30, 2005, the Company incurred a loss on
early termination of debt of $133,000 as the result of the repayment of
$1,180,000 mortgage on 54-unit apartment complex located in Irving, Texas that
was eventually sold in December 2005. The amortization expense of $555,000
during the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 was related to the amortization
of the intangible asset acquired along with the purchase of the Las Colinas,
Texas property purchased in April 2004. No such expenses were incurred during
the fiscal year 2006.
The Company's equity in net loss of Justice Investors increased to $4,564,000
for year ended June 30, 2006 from $2,303,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005.
For the year ended June 30, 2006, the Justice Investors sustained a total net
loss of $8,601,000 compared to a net loss of $4,221,000 for the year ended
June 30, 2005. The increase in that net loss was primarily attributable to
greater losses from the operations of the Hotel, increased general and
administrative expenses for professional services and other costs associated
with the repositioning and reopening of the Hotel, higher interest costs,
insurance costs, property taxes and greater depreciation and amortization
expenses resulting from the renovation of the Hotel.
For the year ending June 30, 2006, Justice had a net loss from Hotel
operations of approximately $3,787,000 on revenues of approximately $9,054,000
compared to a net operating loss of approximately $1,734,000 on revenues of
approximately $12,930,000 in fiscal 2005. Effective, May 31, 2005, the
Partnership elected to close down its Hotel operations to complete the
renovations of the Hotel as required by the Hilton Franchise Agreement. Since
the Hotel did not reopen until January 12, 2006, less than six months of
operating results from the Hotel are included in fiscal 2006, while for the
2005 fiscal year eleven months of Hotel operating results were included. The
increase in the net loss from Hotel operations was primarily due to
approximately $1,230,000 in start up costs incurred for the reopening of the
Hotel and higher operating expenses, including property taxes and sales and
marketing costs as the Hotel ramped up its operations. Garage rent decreased
to $945,000 from $1,005,000 primarily due to the Hotel being closed for almost
seven months in fiscal 2006.
Average daily room rates for the Hotel increased to approximately $148 for
fiscal 2006 (for five months of operations) from approximately $90 for fiscal
2005 (for 11 months of operations), while average monthly occupancy rates
decreased to 52% in fiscal 2006 from approximately 65% in fiscal 2005. The
increase in average daily room rates is primarily attributable to the
renovation and repositioning of the Hotel as a Hilton making it possible to
achieve higher room rates. The decrease in average monthly occupancy rates is
primarily attributable to the fact that the Hotel opened with a limited number
of rooms available in January 2006 and did not transition into full operations
until the end of February 2006 and it took several months until the Hotel was
able to reach a level where it began generating net operating income in June
2006. Management understands that such a ramp up period is typical in the
industry for hotels that shut down operations for major renovations,
especially for those hotels that reopen with a different brand. As a general
partner of Justice, Portsmouth will continue to work diligently with Evon, Dow
and Hilton to improve the operations of the Hotel.
Net gains(losses) on marketable securities improved significantly to net gains
of $4,921,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from net losses of $4,874,000
for the year ended June 30, 2005. The change was due to the significant
improvement in the performance of Company's investment portfolio during the
year ended June 30, 2006. For the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company had
net unrealized gains of $2,873,000 and net realized gains $2,048,000. For the
year ended June 30, 2005, the Company had net unrealized losses of $7,734,000
-23-
and realized gains of $2,860,000. Gains and losses on marketable securities
and other investments may fluctuate significantly from period to period in the
future and could have a significant impact on the Company's net income.
However, the amount of gain or loss on marketable securities and other
investments 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.
During the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded impairment losses on
other investments of $513,000 that were considered permanently impaired. In
the comparable year, the Company recorded impairment losses of $740,000
related to other investments. These investments were determined to be
impaired after review of the most recent financial statements and news
releases of the entity in which the Company invested.
Dividend and interest income decreased to $697,000 for the year ended June 30,
2006 from $914,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005 as a result of the
decreased investment in income yielding securities during the current fiscal
year 2006.
General and administrative expenses increased to $1,659,000 from $1,460,000
primarily as the result of the increase in accounting audit fees to $470,000
for fiscal year 2006 from $244,000 for fiscal year 2005.
The total provision for income tax benefit decreased to $2,131,000 for the
year ended June 30, 2006 from $2,668,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005 as
the result of the decrease in the total loss before income taxes to $4,541,000
from $7,239,000 for the respective comparable year.
Minority interest benefit decreased to $487,000 for the year ended June 30,
2006 from $1,443,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005 as a result of the lower
losses incurred by the Company's subsidiaries, Santa Fe and Portsmouth, during
the year ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2005.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company's securities investments are made under the supervision of a
Securities Investment Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee
currently has three members and is chaired by the Company's Chairman of the
Board and President, John V. Winfield. The Committee has delegated authority
to manage the portfolio to the Company's Chairman and President together with
such assistants and management committees he may engage. The Committee has
established investment guidelines for the Company's investments. These
guidelines presently include: (i) corporate equity securities should be listed
on the New York or American Stock Exchanges or the Nasdaq NMS Market; (ii)
securities should be priced above $5.00 per share; and (iii) investment in a
particular issuer should not exceed 5% of the market value of the total
portfolio. The investment policies do not require the Company to divest itself
of investments, which initially meet these guidelines but subsequently fail to
meet one or more of the investment criteria. Non-conforming investments
require the approval of the Securities Investment Committee. The Committee
has in the past approved non-conforming investments and may in the future
approve non-conforming investments. The Securities Investment Committee may
modify these guidelines from time to time.
The Company's investment portfolio is diversified with 60 different equity
securities. The Company has five individual positions that comprise more than
5% of the equity value of the portfolio with the largest being 10.2% of the
-24-
value of the portfolio. The amount of the Company's investment in any
particular issue may increase or decrease, and additions or reductions 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 reductions in 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 June
30, 2006, the market value of the Company's marketable securities was
$29,186,000.
The Company may also invest, with the approval of the Securities Investment
Committee, in unlisted securities, such as convertible notes, through private
placements including private equity investment funds. Those investments in
non-marketable securities are carried at cost on the Company's balance sheet
as part of other investments and reviewed for impairment on a periodic basis.
As of June 30, 2006, the Company had other investments of $4,344,000.
As part of its investment strategies, the Company may assume short positions
in marketable securities. Short sales are used by the Company to potentially
offset normal market risks undertaken in the course of its investing
activities or to provide additional return opportunities. As of June 30,
2006, the Company had obligations for securities sold (equities short) of
$6,635,000 and had no naked short positions.
In addition, the Company may utilize margin for its marketable securities
purchases through the use of standard margin agreements with national
brokerage firms. The use of available leverage is guided by the business
judgment of management and is subject to any internal investment guidelines,
which may be imposed by the Securities Investment Committee. The margin used
by the Company may fluctuate depending on market conditions. The use of
leverage could be viewed as risky and the market values of the portfolio may
be subject to large fluctuations. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had a
margin balance of $11,532,000 and incurred $767,000 and $904,000 in margin
interest expense during the year ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005,
respectively.
As of June 30, 2006, the Company had investments in marketable equity
securities of $29,186,000. The following table shows the composition of the
Company's marketable securities portfolio by selected industry groups as of
June 30, 2006:

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
The Company's cash flows are generated primarily from its real estate
activities, sales of investment securities and borrowings related to both.

Portsmouth stock for a total investment of $718,000.
During the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company purchased 14,100 shares of

-26-
In April 2006, Portsmouth purchased a 0.20% limited partnership interest in
Justice from another limited partner for $180,000, which brought its limited
partnership interest in Justice to exactly 50.0%.
During the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company made additional borrowings of
$1,745,000 from its construction loan related to the renovation of its 30-unit
apartment complex located in Los Angeles, California and made principal

$2,055,000 of its line of credit.
The Company's Board of Directors has given the Company the authority to
repurchase, from time to time, shares of its Common Stock. Such repurchases
may be made at the discretion of management and depending upon market
conditions. During the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company acquired an
additional 60,324 shares of its Common Stock for $975,000. Approximately
36,000 shares remain eligible for the Company to repurchase under that
authorization.
Prior to operating the hotel as a Hilton, the Partnership was required to make
substantial renovations to the hotel to meet Hilton standards in accordance
with a product improvement plan agreed upon by Hilton and the Partnership, as
well as complying with other brand standards. The total cost of the
construction-renovation project of the Hotel was approximately $36.4 million,
which excludes approximately $630,000 in interest costs incurred during for
the construction phase that were capitalized.
To meet its substantial financial commitments for the renovation project 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
(the "Prudential Loan") with The Prudential Insurance Company of America in a
principal amount of $30,000,000. The term of the Loan is for 120 months at a
fixed interest rate of 5.22% per annum. The Loan calls for monthly
installments of principal and interest in the amount of approximately
$165,000, calculated on a 360 month 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 Loan is without recourse to the
limited and general partners of Justice.
On July 27, 2005, Justice also obtained a $10,000,000 Revolving Line of Credit
("LOC") from United Commercial Bank ("UCB"). The term of the LOC is for 60
months at an annual interest rate, based on an index selected by Justice at
the time of the advance, equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate or the
Libor Rate plus 2%, fixed for the period selected by the Partnership. The Loc
is collateralized by a second deed of trust on the Hotel property. Interest
only is payable monthly with principal and accrued interest due a maturity. On
January 20, 2006, the Partnership obtained a $4,500,000 increase in its LOC,
raising the total amount available to the Partnership pursuant to $14,500,000.
The increase in the credit line is on the same terms as the existing line of
credit with additional loan and documentation fees of $4,000. On May 23, 2006,
Justice obtained a short term increase of its LOC of an additional $2,000,000,
raising the total amount available to the Partnership to $16,500,000. If the
short term increase of is not paid off by December 31, 2006, UCB has the right
to record a lien on the Hotel property for the additional $2,000,000. That
increase is also on the same terms as the existing LOC, with additional
documentation fees of $1,000. As of June 30, 2006, approximately $16,000,000
of the LOC was utilized.
-27-
The Prudential Loan and the LOC have provided Justice with sufficient
financial resources for the Partnership to complete the substantial
renovations to the Hotel required by its Franchise License Agreement with
Hilton and to meet its debt service requirements and operating capital needs
through the reopening of the Hotel and the period of time necessary to ramp up
operations. The Hotel started to generate net operating income from its
operations in June 2006. The Partnership also believes that there is
sufficient equity in the Hotel assets to support future borrowings if
necessary. The Partnership believes that the revenues expected to be generated
from the Hotel operations after July 1, 2006 will be sufficient to meet all of
its current and future obligations and financial requirements.
The additional amount of leverage related to the Prudential Loan and the
utilization of the LOC and the associated debt service will create additional
risk for the Partnership and its ability to generate cash flows in the future
since the Hotel asset has been virtually debt free for many years. The
Partnership does not anticipate paying any partnership distributions until
some time after operations stabilize under the Hilton brand and net income and
capital requirements warrant such distributions. As a result, the Company may
have to depend more on the revenues generated from the investment of its cash
and securities assets during that transition period.
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 statement of operations.
Management anticipates that the net cash flow generated from future operating
activities will be sufficient to meet its operating and long-term debt service
requirements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has no off balance sheet arrangements.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The annual combined aggregate principal payments on the mortgage notes payable
for the five-year period commencing July 1, 2006, and thereafter, are as
follows:
Year ending June 30,
2007 $ 8,038,000
2008 5,963,000
2009 10,069,000
2010 1,102,000
2011 1,165,000
Thereafter 51,919,000
-----------
Total $78,256,000
===========
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The Company's residential and commercial 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.
-28-
The Company's revenue from its interest in Justice Investors is primarily
dependent on hotel revenues. 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. To the extent that the
hotel lessee is able to adjust room rates, 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.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company reviews its long-lived assets including its investment in real
estate and other investments for impairment when circumstances indicate that a
potential loss in carrying value may have occurred. To the extent that
projected future undiscounted cash flows from the operation of the hotel
property, owned through the Company's investment in Justice Investors, and
rental properties are less than the carrying value of the assets, the carrying
value of the assets are reduced to their fair value. For other investments,
the Company reviews the investment's operating results, financial position and
other relevant factors to determine whether the estimated fair value of the
asset is less than the carrying value of the asset.
Marketable securities are stated at market value as determined by the most
recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. Marketable
securities are classified as trading with net change in unrealized gains or
losses included in the statement of operations. The Company's other
accounting policies are straightforward in their application.

THE INTERGROUP CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Business and Significant Accounting Policies and Practices:
Description of the Business
The InterGroup 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, 2006 and 2005, the Company had the power to vote 78% and 76.9%,
respectively, of the voting shares of Santa Fe Financial Corporation ("Santa
Fe"), a public company (OTCBB: SFEF). Those percentages include 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), which derives its revenue primarily as a general partner and a
50% limited partner in Justice Investors, a California limited partnership
("Justice" or the "Partnership"). Justice owns the land, improvements and
leaseholds now known as the "Hilton San Francisco Financial District", a 549-
room hotel in San Francisco, California (the "Hotel").
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
all controlled subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and
balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment in Real Estate
Investments in real estate are stated at cost. Depreciation of buildings,
improvements and equipment is provided on the straight-line method based upon
estimated useful lives of five to forty years for buildings and improvements
and five to ten years for equipment. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance
are charged to expense as incurred and improvements are capitalized.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS
144), "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the
Company reviews its rental property assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. If expected future cash flows (undiscounted and excluding
interest costs) are less than the carrying value of the rental asset, the
asset is written down to its fair value. The estimation of expected future
net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies to a considerable extent on
assumptions regarding current and future economic and market conditions, and
-35-
the availability of capital. If, in future periods, there are changes in the
estimates or assumptions incorporated into the impairment review analysis, the
changes could result in an adjustment to the carrying amount of the long-lived
asset. No impairment losses on the investment in real estate have been
recorded for the year ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.
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 June
30, 2006, the Company had one property classified as held for sale.
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 reserves for the operating properties and
tenant security deposits that are invested in certificates of deposit.
Investment in Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are stated at market 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 statement of
operations.
Other Investments
Other investments in non-marketable securities are carried at cost on the
Company's balance sheet as part of other investments and reviewed for
impairment on a periodic basis.
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.
-36-
Treasury Stock
The Company records the acquisition of treasury stock under the cost method.
Rental Income
Rental income is recognized as earned. 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.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method. A deferred
tax asset or liability is determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured by
statutory tax rates. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in the
asset and/or liability for deferred taxes.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable
securities, other investments, mortgage notes payable, amounts due securities
brokers and obligations for securities sold approximates fair value. The fair
value of mortgage notes payable is estimated using discounted cash flows of
future payments based on the borrowing rates available to the Company for debt
with similar terms and maturities.
Environmental Remediation Costs
Liabilities for environmental remediation costs are recorded and charged to
expense when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the
amounts can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries of such costs are recognized
when received. As of June 30, 2006, there were no liabilities for
environmental remediation.
The Company adopted Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset
Retirement Obligations - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 ("FIN
47") during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. FIN 47 clarifies that the
term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No.
143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation
to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of
settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the
control of the Company. The obligation to perform the asset retirement
activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and
(or) method of settlement. Accordingly, the Company is required to recognize a
liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if
the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The adoption of
FIN 47 did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as
of June 30, 2006 or its consolidated statements of operations or its
consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2006 and
June 30, 2005.
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Effective December 15, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-
Transition and Disclosure", which amends Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 148). In
accounting for its plans, the Company, as allowable under the provisions of
-37-
SFAS 148, applies Accounting Principles Board Opinions No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock issued to Employees." As a result of this election, the Company does not
recognize compensation expense for its stock option plans.
During the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company granted 12,000 and
15,000 options, respectively. Had the Company determined compensation expense
based on the fair value for its stock options at grant date, net income(loss)
and earnings(loss) per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts
as follows:
For the year ended June 30, 2006 2005
----------- ----------
Net loss $(1,923,000) $(3,128,000)
Stock based employee
Compensation expense* (56,000) (77,000)
---------- ----------
Pro forma net loss $(1,979,000) $(3,205,000)
Loss per share
Basic as reported $ (0.81) $ (1.27)
Basic pro forma $ (0.83) $ (1.31)
Diluted as reported $ (0.81) $ (1.27)
Diluted pro forma $ (0.83) $ (1.31)
*Determined under fair value based on method for awards net of related tax
effects (40%).
The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used with the following weighted-
average assumptions:
For the year ended June 30, 2006 2005
----------- ------------
Risk free interest rate 5.07% 3.87%
Dividend yield 0.00% 0.00%
Price volatility factor 24.46 24.60
Weighted average expected life 10 10
Fair value of each option granted $7.71 $7.83
Aggregate fair value of options granted $92,000 $129,000
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings 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. Stock options are included in diluted earnings per share
by application of the treasury stock method. As of June 30, 2006, the Company
had 369,000 stock options that were considered potentially dilutive common
shares and 36,000 stock options that were considered anti-dilutive. These
amounts were included in the calculation for diluted earnings per share. As
of June 30, 2005, the Company had 367,500 stock options that were considered
potentially dilutive common shares and 25,500 stock options that were
considered anti-dilutive. These amounts were included in the calculation for
diluted earnings per share.
-38-
Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current
year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB ) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123-R, Share-Based
Payment. This Statement addresses the accounting for share-based payment
transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for (a)
equity instruments of the company, such as stock options, or (b) liabilities,
such as those related to performance units, that are based on the fair value
of the company s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of
such equity instruments.
SFAS No. 123-R, which is effective for the Company beginning in the first
quarter of fiscal year 2007, eliminates the ability to account for share-based
compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25, and generally requires
that such transactions be accounted for using prescribed fair-value-based
methods. SFAS No. 123-R permits public companies to adopt its requirements
using one of two methods: (a) a modified prospective method in which
compensation costs are recognized beginning with the effective date based on
the requirements of SFAS No. 123-R for all share-based payments granted after
the effective date and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all
awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123-R that
remain unvested on the effective date or (b) a modified retrospective method
which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described
above, but also permits companies to restate based on the amounts previously
recognized under SFAS No. 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either for
all periods presented or prior interim periods of the year of adoption. The
Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"),
"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." This Interpretation clarifies
the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's
financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes." FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Guidance is also
provided on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting
in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the impact, if any, of FIN 48 on its consolidated financial
statements.

4. Investment in Justice Investors:
The Company has a 50% interest in Justice Investors. Justice owns the land,
improvements and leaseholds now known as the "Hilton San Francisco Financial
District", a 549-room hotel in San Francisco, California. Portsmouth is both
a general and limited partner in Justice and oversees operations and shares
management responsibilities with the other general partner. Portsmouth records
its investment in Justice on the equity basis.
The Company amortizes on a straight-line basis the step up in the asset values
which represents the excess purchase price over the underlying book value and
is allocable to the depreciable assets of its investment in Justice Investors
over 40 years, which approximates the remaining life of the primary asset, the
hotel building.
For the Company's investment in Justice, to the extent that projected future
undiscounted cash flows from the operation of the Hotel property are less than
the carrying value of the asset, the investment would be considered impaired
and the carrying value of the asset would be reduced to its fair value.
All significant partnership decisions require the active participation and
approval of both general partners. The Company and Evon jointly consult and
-41-
determine the amount of partnership reserves and the amount of cash to be
distributed to the limited partners. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership
agreement, voting rights of the partners are determined according to the
partners' entitlement to share in the net profit and loss of the partnership.
The Company is not entitled to any additional voting rights by virtue of its
position as a general partner.
The partnership agreement also provides that no portion of the partnership
real property can be sold without the written consent of the general and
limited partners entitled to more than 72% of the net profit.
Historically, Justice's most significant income source was a lease between the
Partnership and Felcor Lodging Trust, Inc. ("Felcor") for the Hotel portion of
the property. Pursuant to a Settlement Agreement entered into on May 3, 2004,
Felcor agreed to terminate its lease and surrender possession of the Hotel to
Justice, on June 30, 2004. Effective July 1, 2004, Justice became the owner-
operator of the Hotel, with the assistance of a Management Agreement with Dow
Hotel Company, LLC. ("Dow") to perform the day-to-day management functions of
the Hotel. The Partnership also derives income from the lease of the garage
portion of the property to Evon and from a lease on the lobby level of the
Hotel to Tru Spa. The Company also derives revenue from management fees from
Justice for actively managing the hotel as a general partner.
On December 10, 2004, Justice entered into a Franchise License Agreement for
the right to operate the Hotel property as a Hilton brand hotel. Prior to
operating the hotel as a Hilton, the Partnership was required to make
substantial renovations to the hotel to meet Hilton standards in accordance
with a product improvement plan agreed upon by Hilton and the Partnership, as
well as complying with other brand standards. The Agreement required that
those renovations be complete and the Hotel commence operations as a Hilton
hotel no later than June 1, 2006. The term of the Agreement is for a period of
15 years commencing on the opening date, with an option to extend the license
term for another five years, subject to certain conditions.
On March 15, 2005, the Partnership announced its decision to close down its
Hotel operations on or about June 1, 2005 to complete renovations of the Hotel
as required by the Hilton Agreement. The below ground parking garage and Tru
Spa located on the lobby level of the Hotel, both of which are lessees of the
Partnership, remained open during the renovation work. The Hotel renovation
work was substantially completed on January 12, 2006 at which time the
Partnership obtained approval from Hilton to open the Hotel as the "Hilton San
Francisco Financial District". The Hotel opened with a limited number of rooms
available to rent, which increased as the Hotel transitioned into full
operations by the end of February 2006.
The total cost of the construction-renovation project of the Hotel was
approximately $36.4 million, which excludes approximately $630,000 in interest
costs incurred during for the construction phase that were capitalized.
On July 14, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board directed Staff
Position (FSP) SOP 78-9-1, "Interaction of AICPA Statement of Position 78-9
and EITF Issue No. 04-5" to amend the guidance in AICPA Statement of Position
78-9, "Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures" (SOP 78-9) to be
consistent with the consensus in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-5
"Determining Whether a General Partner, or General Partners as a Group,
Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners
Have Certain Rights" (Issue 04-5). FSP SOP 78-9-1 eliminated the concept of
"important rights" in paragraph .09 of SOP 78-9 and replaces it with the
concepts of "kick out rights" and "substantive participating rights" as
defined in Issue 04-5.
-42-
Under the amendment to paragraph .09 of SOP 78-9 the general partners of a
limited partnership should be deemed to control a limited partnership;
however, the rights of the limited partners may overcome that presumption of
control. The guidance in EITF Issue No. 04-5 should be used to determine
whether the rights of the limited partners overcome the presumption of control
by the general partners. The presumption of control is not overcome by the
rights of the limited partners and if a single general partner controls the
limited partnership, that general partner should consolidate the limited
partnership and apply the principles of accounting applicable for investments
in subsidiaries. For existing partnership agreements such as Justice
Investors, the guidance should be applied in financial statements issued for
the first reporting period in the fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2005 and early application is encouraged.
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006, Portsmouth conducted an
assessment of its general and limited interest in Justice Investors under the
new guidance provided by SOP 78-9-1. The Company determined that, under the
limited partnership agreement, the limited partners of Justice do not have
either "kick out rights" to remove Portsmouth as a general partner or
"substantive participating rights" to direct the business of the Partnership.
Significant in that assessment is the fact that the limited partners of
Justice do not have the ability to dissolve (liquidate) the Partnership and
effectively remove the general partners without the participation and consent
of Portsmouth's 50.0% limited partnership interest since any action to sell
the Partnership real property and dissolve the Partnership requires the
approval of partners entitled to more than 72% of the net profit of the
Partnership. Based on its assessment, Portsmouth has concluded that rights of
the limited partners under the Partnership agreement do not overcome the
presumption that Portsmouth, as a general partner and a significant limited
partner, controls the Partnership in accordance with guidance set forth in FSP
SOP 78-9-1. Thus, Portsmouth will be able to consolidate Justice and apply the
principles of accounting applicable for investments in subsidiaries due to its
substantial limited partnership interest and general partnership rights.
Portsmouth will apply the guidance of FSP SOP 78-9-1 in its financial
statements issued for the first reporting period of its fiscal year beginning
July 1, 2006.

of the date of grant on July 1, 2005. Those grants were limited to 2,400
shares since all of the options authorized to be issued under the Plan had
been issued.
1998 Stock Option Plan for Selected Key Officers,
Employees and Consultants
On December 8, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted, subject to
shareholder approval and ratification, a 1998 Stock Option Plan for selected
key officers, employees and consultants (the "Key Employee Plan"). The Key
Employee Plan was ratified by the stockholders on January 27, 1999.
The stock to be offered under the Key Employee Plan shall be shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, which may be unissued shares
or treasury shares. Subject to certain adjustments upon changes in
capitalization, the aggregate number of shares to be delivered upon exercise
of all options granted under the Key Employee Plan shall not exceed 300,000
shares (adjusted for stock split). The Key Employee Plan shall terminate on
the earliest to occur of (i) the dates when all of the Common Stock available
under the Key Employee Plan shall have been acquired through the exercise of
options granted under the Key Employee Plan; (ii) 10 years after the date of
adoption of the Key Employee Plan by the Board; or (iii) such other date that
the Board may determine.
The Key Employee Plan is administered by a Committee appointed by the Board of
Directors which consists of two or more disinterested persons within the
meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Persons eligible to receive options under the Key
Employee Plan shall be employees who are selected by the Committee. In
determining the Employees to whom options shall be granted and the number of
shares to be covered by each option, the Committee shall take into account the
-57-
duties of the respective employee, their present and potential contribution to
the success of the Company, their anticipated number of years of active
service remaining and other factors as it deems relevant in connection with
accomplishing the purposes of the Key Employee Plan. An employee who has been
granted an option may be granted an additional option or options as the
Committee shall so determine.
The exercise price of the option shall be determined at the time of grant and
shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at
the time of the grant of the option. The term of the option shall not exceed
10 years from the date on which the option is granted. The vesting schedule
for the options and the method or time that when the option may be exercised
in whole or in part shall be determined by the Committee. However, in no
event shall an option be exercisable within six months of the date of grant in
the case of an optionee subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Subject
to certain exceptions, the option shall terminate six months after the
optionee's employment with the Company terminates. No options to purchase
shares were granted pursuant to the Key Employee Plan during fiscal 2006.
Compensation of Directors
Each director is paid a fee of $1,500 per quarter for a total annual
compensation of $6,000. The Chairman of the Board of Directors is eligible to
receive $9,000 per annum. Directors also are eligible to receive $500 for each
committee meeting attended and $600 for each committee meeting chaired.
Members of the Audit Committee receive a fee of $500 per quarter. Directors
who are also Executive Officers do not receive any fee for attending Board or
Committee meetings. As an Executive Officer, the Company's Chairman has also
elected to forego his annual board fee. The Directors are also eligible for
grants of options to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to
the 1998 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors. As discussed above, all
of the options authorized to be issued under that Plan were exhausted
effective with the July 1, 2005 option grant. It is expected that the Board of
Directors will review the form and amounts of compensation that the Company
pays to its directors so that it can continue to attract and retain qualified
directors.
Except for the foregoing, there are no other arrangements for compensation of
Directors and there are no employment contracts between the Company and its
Directors or any change in control arrangements.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
On December 4, 1998, the Administrative and Compensation Committee authorized
the Company to obtain whole life and split dollar insurance policies covering
the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Winfield. During
fiscal 2006 and 2006, the Company paid annual premiums in the amount of
approximately $85,000 for the split dollar insurance policy owned by, and the
beneficiary of which is, a trust for the benefit of Mr. Winfield's family.
The Company has a secured right to receive, from any proceeds of the policy,
reimbursement of all premiums paid prior to any payments to the beneficiary.
On June 30, 1998, the Company's Chairman and President entered into a voting
trust agreement with the Company giving the Company the power to vote his 4.0%
interest in the outstanding shares of the Santa Fe common stock.
As Chairman of the Securities Investment Committee, the Company's President
and Chief Executive officer, John V. Winfield, oversees 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 Santa Fe and Portsmouth and oversees the
investment activity of those companies. Depending on certain market
conditions and various risk factors, the Chief Executive Officer, his family,
Santa Fe and Portsmouth 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 Santa Fe and Portsmouth, at risk in connection
with investment decisions made on behalf of the Company. Under the direction
of the Securities Investment Committee, the Company has instituted certain
modifications to its procedures to reduce the potential for conflicts of
interest.
The Company, its subsidiary Santa Fe and Santa Fe's subsidiary, Portsmouth,
have established performance based compensation programs for Mr. Winfield's
management of the securities portfolios of those companies. For the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2005, Mr. Winfield received, in the aggregate,
performance based compensation in the amount of $320,000. Of the total amount
of the bonus for fiscal 2005, $57,000 was paid by Santa Fe and $4,000 was paid
by Portsmouth. No performance bonus was paid for fiscal 2006. The performance
based compensation was approved by the disinterested members of the respective
Boards of Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Gary N. Jacobs, a Director of the Company, is Of Counsel to the law firm of
Christensen, Glaser, Fink, Jacobs, Weil & Shapiro, LLP. Through May 31, 2000
he was a senior partner of said firm, which provided legal services to the
Company during the year ended June 30, 2005. No payments were made to this
firm during the year ended June 30, 2006. During the year ended June 30,
2005, the Company made payments of approximately $44,000 to Christensen,
Glaser, Fink, Jacobs, Weil & Shapiro, LLP, $38,000 of which was incurred in
fiscal 2004.
