about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and
changes in circumstances that may cause actual results or outcomes to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward looking statement. Consequently,
no forward looking statement can be guaranteed and our actual future results
may differ materially.
Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current
expectations include, but are not limited to:

increases in wages, labor relations, energy and fuel costs, actual and
threatened pandemics, actual and threatened terrorist attacks, and
downturns in domestic and international economic and market conditions,
particularly in the San Francisco Bay area;
* risks associated with the real estate industry, including changes in real
estate and zoning laws or regulations, increases in real property taxes,
rising insurance premiums, costs of compliance with environmental laws
and other governmental regulations;
* the availability and terms of financing and capital and the general
volatility of securities markets;
* changes in the competitive environment in the hotel industry;
* risks related to natural disasters;
* litigation; and
* other risk factors discussed below in this Report.
We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which speak only as to the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly
update any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further
disclosures we make on related subjects on our Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K

PART I
Item 1. Business.
GENERAL
The InterGroup Corporation ("InterGroup" or the "Company" and may also be
referred to as "we" "us" or "our" in this report) 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.
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.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company owned approximately 76% of the common shares
of Santa Fe Financial Corporation ("Santa Fe"), a public company (OTCBB: SFEF).
Santa Fe's revenue is primarily generated through its 68.8% owned subsidiary,
Portsmouth Square, Inc. ("Portsmouth"), a public company (OTCBB: PRSI).
InterGroup also directly owns approximately 11.7% of Portsmouth. Portsmouth's
principal business is conducted through its general and limited partnership
interest in the Justice Investors limited partnership ("Justice" or the
"Partnership"). The Company has a 50.0% limited partnership interest in Justice
and serves as one of the general partners. Justice owns a 544 room hotel
property located at 750 Kearny Street, San Francisco, California 94108, known
as the "Hilton San Francisco Financial District" (the "Hotel") and related
facilities, including a five level underground parking garage. The financial
statements of Justice are consolidated with those of the Company. See Note 2 to
the consolidated financial statements.
The other general partner, Evon Corporation ("Evon"), served as the managing
general partner of Justice until December 1, 2008. As discussed below, the
Limited Partnership Agreement was amended, effective December 1, 2008, to
provide for a change in the respective roles of the general partners. Pursuant
to that amendment, Portsmouth became the Managing General Partner of Justice
while Evon assumed the role of Co-General Partner of Justice.
Most significant partnership decisions require the active participation and
approval of both general 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. As of June 30, 2010, there were 113 limited partners in Justice,
including Portsmouth and Evon.
-5-
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") in 1998. The lease of the Hotel to Felcor was terminated effective
June 30, 2004. With the termination of the Hotel lease, Justice assumed the
role of an owner/operator with the assistance of a third party management
company. Effective July 1, 2004, the Hotel was operated as a Holiday Inn Select
brand hotel pursuant to a short term franchise agreement until it was
temporarily closed for major renovations on May 31, 2005. The Hotel was
reopened on January 12, 2006 to operate as a full service Hilton hotel,
pursuant to a Franchise License Agreement with Hilton Hotels Corporation.
Justice also has a Management Agreement with Prism Hospitality L.P. ("Prism")
to perform the day-to-day management functions of the Hotel.
Until September 30, 2008, the Partnership also derived income from the lease of
the parking garage to Evon. As discussed below, effective October 1, 2008,
Justice entered into an installment sale agreement with Evon to purchase the
remaining term of the garage lease and related garage assets. Justice also
leases a portion of the lobby level of the Hotel to a day spa operator.
Portsmouth also receives management fees as a general partner of Justice for
its services in overseeing and managing the Partnership's assets.
In addition to the operations of the Hotel, the Company also generates income
from the ownership, management and, when appropriate, sale of real estate.
Properties include eighteen apartment complexes, two commercial real estate
properties and two single-family houses. The properties are located throughout
the United States, but are concentrated in Texas and Southern California. The
Company also has investments in unimproved real property. All of the Company's
residential rental properties in California are managed by professional third
party property management companies and the rental properties outside of
California are managed by the Company. The commercial real estate in California
is also managed by the Company.
The Company acquires its investments in real estate and other investments
utilizing cash, securities or debt, subject to approval or guidelines of the
Board of Directors and its Real Estate Investment Committee. The Company may
also look for new real estate investment opportunities in hotels, apartments,
office buildings and development properties. 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 may
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.
The Company also derives income from the investment of its cash and investment
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. See Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a
discussion of the Company's marketable securities and other investments.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE LAST THREE FISCAL YEARS
Garage Installment Sale Agreement
Effective October 1, 2008, Justice and Evon entered into an Installment Sale
Agreement whereby the Partnership purchased all of Evon's right title and
interest in the remaining term of its lease of the parking garage, which was to
expire on November 30, 2010, and other related assets. The partnership also
agreed to assume Evon's contract with Ace Parking Management, Inc. ("Ace
Parking") for the management of the garage and any other liabilities related to
the operation of the garage commencing October 1, 2008. The purchase price for
the garage lease and related assets was approximately $755,000, payable in one
down payment of approximately $28,000 and 26 equal monthly installments of
approximately $29,000, which includes interest at the rate of 2.4% per annum.
See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Amendment of Limited Partnership Agreement
On December 1, 2008, Portsmouth and Evon, as the two general partners of
Justice, entered into a 2008 Amendment to the Limited Partnership Agreement
(the "Amendment") that provides for a change in the respective roles of the
general partners. Pursuant to the Amendment, Portsmouth assumed the role of
Managing General Partner and Evon continued on as the Co-General Partner of
Justice. The Amendment was ratified by approximately 98% of the limited
partnership interests. The Amendment also provides that future amendments to
the Limited Partnership Agreement may be made only upon the consent of the
general partners and at least seventy five percent (75%) of the interests of
the limited partners. Consent of at least 75% of the interests of the limited
partners will also be required to remove a general partner pursuant to the
Amendment.
New General Partner Compensation Agreement
Concurrent with the Amendment to the Limited Partnership Agreement, a new
General Partner Compensation Agreement (the "Compensation Agreement") was
entered into on December 1, 2008, among Justice, Portsmouth and Evon to
terminate and supersede all prior compensation agreement for the general
partners. Pursuant to the Compensation Agreement, the general partners of
Justice will be entitled to receive an amount equal to 1.5% of the gross annual
revenues of the Partnership (as defined), less $75,000 to be used as a
contribution toward the cost of Justice engaging an asset manager. In no event
shall the annual compensation be less than a minimum base of approximately
$285,000, with eighty percent (80%) of that amount being allocated to
Portsmouth for its services as managing general partner and twenty percent
(20%) allocated to Evon as the co-general partner. Compensation earned by the
general partners in each calendar year in excess of the minimum base, will be
payable in equal fifty percent (50%) shares to Portsmouth and Evon.
During the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the general partners were paid
approximately $417,000 and $435,000 respectively, under the applicable
compensation agreements. Of those amounts, approximately $264,000 and $222,000
was paid to Portsmouth for fiscal 2010 and 2009.
HILTON HOTELS FRANCHISE LICENSE AGREEMENT
On December 10, 2004, the Partnership entered into a Franchise License
Agreement with Hilton Hotels Corporation (the "Franchise Agreement") for the
right to operate the Hotel as a Hilton brand hotel. The term of the Franchise
Agreement is for 15 years commencing on the opening date of the Hotel, January
12, 2006, with an option to extend that Agreement for another five years,
subject to certain conditions.
-7-
Pursuant to the Franchise Agreement, the Partnership paid monthly royalty fees
for the first two years of three percent (3%) of the Hotel's gross room
revenue, as defined, for the preceding calendar month; the third year was at
four percent (4%) of the Hotel's gross room revenue; and the fourth year until
the end of the term will be five percent (5%) of the Hotel's gross room
revenue. Justice also pays a monthly program fee of four percent (4%) of the
Hotel's gross room revenue. The amount of the monthly program fee is subject to
change; however, the increase cannot exceed one percent (1%) of the Hotel gross
room revenue in any calendar year, and the cumulative increases in the monthly
fees will not exceed five percent (5%) of gross room revenue. The Partnership
also pays a monthly information technology recapture charge of 0.75% of the
Hotel's gross revenue. In this difficult economic environment, Hilton agreed to
reduce its information technology fees to 0.65% for the 2010 calendar year.
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 $37,030,000, which includes approximately $630,000 in interest
costs incurred during 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. Properties, the Partnership was able to
secure adequate financing, collateralized by the Hotel, to meet those
commitments.
HOTEL MANAGEMENT COMPANY AGREEMENT
In February 2007, the Partnership terminated its prior hotel management
agreement with Dow Hotel Company and entered into a management agreement with
Prism Hospitality ("Prism") to manage and operate the Hotel as its agent,
effective February 10, 2007. Prism is an experienced Hilton approved operator
of upscale and luxury hotels throughout the Americas. The agreement is
effective for a term of ten years, unless the agreement is extended as provided
in the agreement, and the Partnership has the right to terminate the agreement
upon ninety days written notice without further obligation. Under the
management agreement, the Partnership is to pay base management fees of 2.5% of
gross operating revenues for the fiscal year. However, 0.75% of the stated
management fee is due only if the partially adjusted net operating income for
the subject fiscal year exceeds the amount of a minimum Partnership's return
($7 million) for that fiscal year. Prism is also entitled to an incentive
management fee if certain milestones are accomplished. No incentive fees were
earned during the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. In support of the
Partnership's efforts to reduce costs in this difficult economic environment,
Prism agreed to reduce its management fees by fifty percent from January 1,
2009 through December 31, 2010, after which the original fee arrangement will
remain in effect. Management fees paid to Prism during the years ended June 30,
2010 and 2009 were $246,000 and $398,000, respectively.
-8-
GARAGE LEASE AND OPERATIONS
Until September 30, 2008, the garage portion of the Hotel property was leased
by the Partnership to Evon. That lease provided for a monthly rental of sixty
percent (60%) of gross parking revenues with a minimum rent of $20,000 per
month. That lease was to expire in November 2010. The garage lessee, Evon,
was responsible for insurance, repairs and maintenance, utilities and all taxes
assessed against the improvements to the leased premises. The garage is
operated by Ace Parking pursuant to a parking facility management agreement. As
discussed above, effective October 1, 2008, the Partnership purchased all of
Evon's right title and interest in the remaining term of its lease and other
related assets and assumed Evon's contract with Ace Parking as well as other
liabilities associated with the operation of the garage. The Ace Parking
agreement runs until October 31, 2010, with an option to renew for another
five-year term. Pursuant to that agreement, the Partnership will pay to Ace
Parking a management of $2,000 per month, an accounting fee equal to $250 per
month, plus three percent (3%) of annual net profits in excess of $150,000.
TRU SPA LEASE
Approximately 5,400 square feet of space on the lobby level of the Hotel is
leased to Tru Spa for the operation of a health and beauty spa. The lease
expires in May 2013, with a five year option to extend the term. The spa lease
provides for minimum monthly rent of $14,000. Minimum rental amounts are
subject to adjustment every three years based on increases in the Consumer
Price Index.
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, which
the Foundation had right to occupy pursuant to a 50-year nominal rent lease.
The amended lease requires the Partnership to pay to the Foundation a monthly
event space fee in the amount of $5,000, adjusted annually based on the local
Consumer Price Index. The term of the amended lease expires 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.
RENTAL PROPERTIES
At June 30, 2010, the Company's investment in real estate consisted of
properties located throughout the United States, with a concentration in Texas
and Southern California. These properties include eighteen apartment
complexes, two single-family houses as strategic investments and two commercial
real estate properties. All properties are operating properties. 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.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had listed for sale its 249-unit apartment
complex located in Austin, Texas and its 132-unit apartment complex located in
San Antonio, Texas. These properties are classified as held for sale on the
Company's consolidated balance sheet with the operations of these properties
classified under discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of
operations. No depreciation expense is recorded on these two properties.
-9-
MANAGEMENT OF RENTAL PROPERTIES
The Company may engage third party management companies as agents to manage
certain of Company's residential rental properties.
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 was for an original term of
twelve months ending on July 31, 2006 and continues on a month-to-month basis,
until terminated upon 30 days prior written notice. The Management Agreement
provides 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 managers. During the years ended June 30, 2010
and 2009, the management fees were $142,000 and $166,000, respectively.
During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company terminated its property
management agreements with Productive Management(Productive) and brought the
property management of its six remaining properties located outside of
California back in-house. Management believes that the Company can manage the
properties more effectively and efficiently in-house. During the year June 30,
2009, the management fees paid to Productive were $152,000.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES INVESTMENT POLICIES
In addition to its Hotel and real estate operations, the Company also invests
from time to time in income producing instruments, corporate debt and equity
securities, publically traded investment funds, 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 Stock Exchange (NYSE), NYSE ARCA, American Stock Exchange
(AMEX) or the Nasdaq Stock Market (NASDAQ); (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 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, 2010, the Company had other investments of $6,651,000.
-10-
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, 2010,
the Company had obligations for securities sold (equities short) of $1,698,000.
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, 2010, the Company had a margin balance of
$2,235,000 and incurred $435,000 and $211,000 in margin interest expense during
the year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
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
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.
Further information with respect to investment in marketable securities and
other investments of the Company is set forth in Management Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section and Notes 6
and 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Seasonality
Hotel's operations historically have been seasonal. Like most hotels in the San
Francisco area, the Hotel generally maintains higher occupancy and room rates
during the first and second quarters of its fiscal year (July 1 through
December 31) than it does in the third and fourth quarters (January 1 through
June 30). These seasonal patterns can be expected to cause fluctuations in the
quarterly revenues from the Hotel.
Competition
The hotel industry is highly competitive. Competition is based on a number of
factors, most notably convenience of location, brand affiliation, price, range
of services and guest amenities or accommodations offered and quality of
customer service. Competition is often specific to the individual market in
which properties are located.
The Hotel is located in an area of intense competition from other hotels in the
Financial District and San Francisco in general. After being closed for more
than seven months for a substantial renovation project in fiscal year 2006, it
has taken some time for the Hotel, now operating as a Hilton, to gain
recognition as a totally upgraded and higher level property after being under
11
the Holiday Inn brand for almost 35 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. Increased competition from new
hotels, or hotels that have been recently undergone substantial renovation,
could have an adverse effect on occupancy, average daily rate ("ADR") and room
revenue per available room ("RevPar") and put pressure on the Partnership to
make additional capital improvements to the Hotel to keep pace with the
competition.
The Hotel's target market is business travelers, leisure customers and
tourists, and small to medium size groups. Since the Hotel operates in an upper
scale segment of the market, we also face increased competition from providers
of less expensive accommodations, such as limited service hotels, during
periods of economic downturn when leisure and business travelers become more
sensitive to room rates. Like other hotels, we have experienced a significant
decrease in higher rated corporate and business travel during the last two
fiscal years as many companies have severely cut their travel and entertainment
budgets in response to economic conditions. As a result, there is added
pressure on all hotels in the San Francisco market to lower room rates in an
effort to maintain occupancy levels during such periods.
In this highly competitive market, Management has continued to focus on ways to
enhance the guest experience as well as improve operating efficiencies. The
Hotel has recently upgraded its guest room with newer flat panel televisions
systems that provide guests with greater entertainment options. The Hotel has
also installed many energy saving controls and devices as part of its efforts
to become greener and reduce operating costs. Management will continue to
explore new and innovative ways to improve operations and to attract new guests
to the Hotel at higher room rates.
The Hotel is also subject to certain operating risks common to all of the hotel
industry, which could adversely impact performance. These risks include:
* Competition for guests and meetings from other hotels including
competition and pricing pressure from internet wholesalers and
distributors;
* increases in operating costs, including wages, benefits, insurance,
property taxes and energy, due to inflation and other factors, which may
not be offset in the future by increased room rates;
* labor strikes, disruptions or lock outs;
* dependence on demand from business and leisure travelers, which may
fluctuate and is seasonal;
* increases in energy costs, cost of fuel, airline fares and other expenses
related to travel, which may negatively affect traveling;
* terrorism, terrorism alerts and warnings, wars and other military
actions, SARS, swine flu, pandemic or other medical events or warnings
which may result in decreases in business and leisure travel; and
* adverse effects of down turns and recessionary conditions in
international, national and/or local economies and market conditions.
The ownership, operation and leasing of multifamily rental properties are
highly competitive. The Company competes with domestic and foreign financial
institutions, other REITs, life insurance companies, pension trusts, trust
funds, partnerships and individual investors. In addition, The Company competes
-12-
for tenants in markets primarily on the basis of property location, rent
charged, services provided and the design and condition of improvements. The
Company also competes with other quality apartment owned by public and private
companies. The number of competitive multifamily properties in a particular
market could adversely affect the Company's ability to lease its multifamily
properties, as well as the rents it is able to charge. In addition, other forms
of residential properties, including single family housing and town homes,
provide housing alternatives to potential residents of quality apartment
communities or potential purchasers of for-sale condominium units. The Company
competes for residents in its apartment communities based on resident service
and amenity offerings and the desirability of the Company's locations. Resident
leases at the Company's apartment communities are priced competitively based on
market conditions, supply and demand characteristics, and the quality and
resident service offerings of its communities.
Environmental Matters
In connection with the ownership of the Hotel, the Company is subject to
various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to
environmental protection. Under these laws, a current or previous owner or
operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation
of certain hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. Such
laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator
knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances.
Environmental consultants retained by the Partnership or its lenders conducted
updated Phase I environmental site assessments in fiscal year ended June 30,
2008 on the Hotel property. These Phase I assessments relied, in part, on Phase
I environmental assessments prepared in connection with the Partnership's first
mortgage loan obtained in July 2005. Phase I assessments are designed to
evaluate the potential for environmental contamination on properties based
generally upon site inspections, facility personnel interviews, historical
information and certain publicly-available databases; however, Phase I
assessments will not necessarily reveal the existence or extent of all
environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns at the properties.
Although the Phase I assessments and other environmental reports we have
reviewed disclose certain conditions on our properties and the use of hazardous
substances in operation and maintenance activities that could pose a risk of
environmental contamination or liability, we are not aware of any environmental
liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company believes that the Hotel and its rental properties are in
compliance, in all material respects, with all federal, state and local
environmental ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic
substances and other environmental matters, the violation of which could have
a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company has not received written
notice from any governmental authority of any material noncompliance, liability
or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or other environmental
matters in connection with any of its present properties.

further major renovations; however, the Partnership expects to reserve
approximately 4% of gross annual Hotel revenues each year for future capital
requirements. In the opinion of management, the Hotel is adequately covered by
insurance.
HOTEL FINANCINGS
On July 27, 2005, Justice entered into a first mortgage loan with The
Prudential Insurance Company of America in a principal amount of $30,000,000
(the "Prudential Loan"). The term of the Prudential Loan is for 120 months at
a fixed interest rate of 5.22% per annum. The Prudential Loan calls for monthly
installments of principal and interest in the amount of approximately $165,000,
calculated on a 30-year amortization schedule. The Loan is collateralized by a
first deed of trust on the Partnership's Hotel property, including all
improvements and personal property thereon and an assignment of all present and
future leases and rents. The Prudential Loan is without recourse to the limited
and general partners of Justice. The principal balance of the Prudential Loan
was $27,723,000 as of June 30, 2010.
On March 27, 2007, Justice entered into a second mortgage loan with Prudential
(the "Second Prudential Loan") in a principal amount of $19,000,000. The term
of the Second Prudential Loan is for approximately 100 months and matures on

-15-
The Partnership had a $2,500,000 unsecured revolving line of credit facility
with a bank that was to mature on April 30, 2010. Borrowings under that line of
credit bore interest at Prime plus 3.0% per annum or based on the Wall Street
Journal Prime Rate (3.25%) plus 3.0% per annum, floating, (but subject to a
minimum floor rate at 5.0% per annum). Borrowings under the line of credit were
subject to certain financial covenants, which are measured annually at June
30th and December 31st based on the credit arrangement. Effective April 29,
2010, the Partnership obtained a modification from the bank which converted its
revolving line of credit facility to a term loan. The Partnership also obtained
a waiver of any prior noncompliance with financial covenants.
The modification provides that Justice will pay the $2,500,000 balance on its
line of credit facility over a period of four years, to mature on April 30,
2014. This term loan calls for monthly principal and interest payments of
$41,000, calculated on a six-year amortization schedule, with interest only
from May 1, 2010 to August 31, 2010. Pursuant to the modification, the annual
floating interest rate was reduced by 0.5% to the WSJ Prime Rate plus 2.5%
(with a minimum floor rate of 5.0% per annum). The modification includes
financial covenants written to reflect financial conditions that all hotels are
facing. The covenants include specific financial ratios and a return to minimum
profitability by June 2011. Management believes that the Partnership has the
ability to meet the specific covenants and the Partnership was in compliance
with the covenants as of June 30, 2010. The Partnership paid a loan
modification fee of $10,000. The loan continues as unsecured. As of June 30,
2010, the interest rate was 5.75% and the outstanding balance was $2,500,000.
As of June 30, 2009, the interest rate was 6.25% and the outstanding balance on
the line of credit was $1,811,000.

Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's principal sources of revenue continue to be derived from the
investment of its 68.8% owned subsidiary, Portsmouth, in the Justice Investors
limited partnership ("Justice" or the "Partnership"), rental income from its
investments in multi-family real estate properties and income received from
investment of its cash and securities assets. Portsmouth has a 50.0% limited
partnership interest in Justice and serves as the managing general partner of
Justice. Evon Corporation ("Evon") serves as the other general partner. Justice
owns the land, improvements and leaseholds at 750 Kearny Street, San Francisco,
California, known as the Hilton San Francisco Financial District (the "Hotel").
The financial statements of Justice have been consolidated with those of the
Company. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Hotel is operated by the Partnership as a full service Hilton brand hotel
pursuant to a Franchise License Agreement with Hilton Hotels Corporation. The
term of the Agreement is for a period of 15 years commencing on January 12,
2006, with an option to extend the license term for another five years, subject
to certain conditions. Justice also has a Management Agreement with Prism
Hospitality L.P. ("Prism") to perform the day-to-day management functions of
the Hotel.
Until September 30, 2008, the Partnership also derived income from the lease of
the parking garage to Evon. Effective October 1, 2008, Justice entered into an
installment sale agreement with Evon to purchase the remaining term of the
garage lease and related garage assets, and assumed the contract with Ace
Parking for the operations of the garage. Justice also leases a portion of the
lobby level of the Hotel to a day spa operator. Portsmouth also receives
management fees as a general partner of Justice for its services in overseeing
and managing the Partnership's assets. Those fees are eliminated in
consolidation.
In addition to the operations of the Hotel, the Company also generates income
from the ownership and management of real estate. Properties include eighteen
apartment complexes, two commercial real estate properties, and two single-
family houses as strategic investments. The properties are located throughout
the United States, but are concentrated in Texas and Southern California. The
Company also has investments in unimproved real property. All of the Company's
residential rental properties in California are managed by professional third
party property management companies and the rental properties outside of
California are managed by the Company. The commercial real estate in California
is also managed by the Company.
The Company acquires its investments in real estate and other investments
utilizing cash, securities or debt, subject to approval or guidelines of the
Board of Directors. The Company also invests in income-producing instruments,
equity and debt securities and will consider other investments if such
investments offer growth or profit potential.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009
The Company had a net loss of $4,575,000 for the year ended June 30, 2010
compared to a net loss of $238,000 for the year ended June 30, 2009. The
increase in the net loss is primarily attributable to the current year net loss
on marketable securities of $747,000 compared to a net gain on marketable
securities of $6,132,000 in the prior year. This change was partially offset
by the income tax benefit in the current year and improved hotel operations.
The Company had a loss on hotel operations of $2,390,000 for the year ended
June 30, 2010, compared to a loss of $2,722,000 for the year ended June 30,
2009. The reduction in the loss was primarily attributable to a one-time loss
related to the termination of the hotel garage lease in the amount of $684,000
which was incurred during fiscal 2009, partially offset by an increase in
depreciation and amortization expense due to improvements to the Hotel during
the current year, including upgrades to the guest rooms and installation of
energy saving controls and devices.
The following table sets forth a more detailed presentation of Hotel operations
for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
For the years ended June 30, 2010 2009
--------------------------- ----------- ----------
Hotel revenues:
Hotel rooms $ 24,848,000 $ 25,237,000
Food and beverage 4,703,000 4,911,000

Total hotel revenues 32,680,000 32,821,000

Depreciation and amortization expense (4,945,000) (4,655,000)
---------- ----------
Loss from hotel operations $(2,390,000) $(2,722,000)
========== ==========
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Hotel generated operating income
of approximately $5,457,000 before interest, depreciation and amortization, on
operating revenues of approximately $32,680,000 compared to operating income of
approximately $4,806,000 before interest, depreciation and amortization, on
operating revenues of approximately $32,821,000 for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2009. The increase in Hotel operating income from fiscal 2009 to 2010 is
primarily attributable to a one-time loss on the termination of the garage
lease in the amount of $684,000 which was included in operating expenses in
fiscal 2009, partially offset by a $141,000 decline in total hotel revenues in
fiscal 2010.
-23-
Room revenues decreased by approximately $389,000 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2010 when compared to fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 and food and
beverage revenues decreased by approximately $208,000 for the same period. The
decrease in room revenues was primarily attributable to a significant decline
in average daily room rates during fiscal 2010 as hotels in the San Francisco
market continued to reduce room rates in an effort to maintain occupancy levels
in a very competitive market. Many hotels have been forced to adopt this
strategy due to a severe reduction in higher rated corporate and group business
travel, which has been replaced by discounted business from Internet channels.
The decrease in food and beverage revenues is primarily attributable to decline
in banquet and catering business as companies continue with cuts in business
travel, corporate meetings and events. The declines in room and food and
beverage revenue were partially offset by a $403,000 increase in garage
revenues due to the termination of the garage lease effective October 1, 2008
and the integration of those operations into those of the Hotel.
The following table sets forth the average daily room rate, average occupancy
percentage and room revenue per available room ("RevPar") of the Hotel for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
Fiscal Year Ended Average Average
June 30, Daily Rate Occupancy% RevPar
----------------- ---------- --------- --------
2010 $143 87% $125
2009 $157 81% $127
The operations of the Hotel continued to be impacted by the significant
downturn in the domestic and international economies and markets. Room rates
continue to be the toughest challenge as the Hotel's average daily room rate
was approximately $14 lower for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 compared to
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. However, due to increased sales and
marketing efforts in the face of difficult economic conditions and greater
competition, the Hotel was able to boost occupancy rates by approximately 6%
over the comparable period. As a result, the Hotel was able to achieve a
RevPar number that compared very favorably to its competitive set.
In this highly competitive market, management has also continued to focus on
ways to enhance the guest experience as well as improve operating efficiencies.
The Hotel has recently upgraded its guest room with newer flat panel television
systems that provide guests with greater entertainment options. The Hotel has
also installed many energy saving controls and devices as part of its efforts
to become greener and reduce operating costs. Management will continue to
explore new and innovative ways to improve operations and attract new guests to
the Hotel at higher room rates.
While operating in a difficult economy, management was able to improve its real
estate operations by reducing operating expenses and interest expense. The
Company had real estate revenues of $12,155,000 for the year ended June 30,
2010 compared with revenues of $12,787,000 for the year ended June 30, 2009.
While revenues declined by $632,000 as the result of operating in a more
challenging economy, management was able to reduce real estate operating
expenses by $480,000 to $5,857,000 for the year ended June 30, 2010 from
$6,337,000 for the year ended June 30, 2009. Management's decision during the
second half of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 to terminate its property
management agreement with Productive Management and to bring the management of
its four remaining properties located outside of California back in-house
reduced operating expenses of approximately $154,000. Interest expense also
decreased to $3,186,000 from $3,381,000 as the result of management refinancing
several of the Company's mortgage loans to lower interest rates during fiscal
-24-
2009 and variable interest rates resetting lower on a certain number of our
properties located in Los Angeles, California. Management continues to review
and analyze the Company's real estate operations to improve occupancy and
rental rates and to reduce expenses and improve efficiencies.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had listed for sale its 249-unit apartment
complex located in Austin, Texas and its 132-unit apartment complex located in
San Antonio, Texas. These properties are classified as held for sale on the
Company's consolidated balance sheet with the operations of these properties
classified under discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of
operations. No depreciation expense is recorded on these two properties.
The Company had a net loss on marketable securities of $747,000 for the year
ended June 30, 2010 as compared to a net gain on marketable securities of
$6,132,000 for the year ended June 30, 2009. For the year ended June 30, 2010,
the Company had a net realized gain of $3,993,000 and a net unrealized loss of
$4,740,000. For the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company had a net realized
gain of $1,190,000 and a net unrealized gain of $4,942,000. 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.
The Company may also invest, with the approval of the Securities Investment
Committee and other company guidelines, in private investment equity funds and
other unlisted securities, such as convertible notes through private
placements. Those investments in non-marketable securities are carried at cost
on the Company's balance sheet as part of other investments, net of other than
temporary impairment losses. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had net other
investments of $6,651,000. Included in other investments are investments in
corporate debt and equity instruments which had attached warrants that were
considered derivative instruments. The Company recorded an unrealized gain of
$181,000 related to these warrants during the year ended June 30, 2010. During
the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company performed an impairment
analysis of its other investments and determined that its investments had other
than temporary impairments and recorded impairment losses of $1,805,000 and
$1,300,000, respectively.
Dividend and interest income increased to $425,000 from the year ended June 30,
2010 from $205,000 for the year ended June 30, 2009 due to the increased
investment in income yielding securities.
Margin interest and trading expenses increased to $1,398,000 for the year ended
June 30, 2010 from $1,186,000 for the year ended June 30, 2009. The increase
is primarily due to the increase in margin interest expense to $435,000 for the
year ended June 30, 2010 from $211,000 for the year ended June 30, 2009. The
increase is the result of the maintenance of higher margin balances.
During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company had an income tax benefit of
$1,639,000 on both continuing and discontinued operations compared to a tax
expense of $944,000. The effective tax rate is significantly higher for the
year ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2009 primarily
due to a lower loss from Justice which resulted in a lower amount of
noncontrolling interest that was reconciled against the net loss of the Company
for income tax calculation purposes.

The Company's investment portfolio is diversified with 46 different equity

5% of the equity value of the portfolio with the largest being 19% 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.

The Company may also invest, with the approval of the Securities Investment
Committee and other Company guidelines, in private investment equity funds and
other unlisted securities, such as convertible notes through private
placements. Those investments in non-marketable securities are carried at cost
on the Company's balance sheet as part of other investments, net of other than
temporary impairment losses.
As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had net other investments of
$6,651,000 and $6,567,000, respectively. Included in the net other investments
are notes and convertible notes in Comstock Mining, Inc., a public company,
that had a carrying value of $1,875,000 (net of impairment adjustments) as of
June 30, 2010. The face value of these notes and convertible notes as of June
30, 2010 totaled approximately $12,946,000, which includes $8,972,000 of
principal and $3,974,000 of accrued interest. Comstock Mining is currently
working with its debt holders, including the Company, to restructure its debt
and capital structure.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
The Company's cash flows are primarily generated from its Hotel operations and
general partner fees from Justice. The Company also receives revenues generated
from the investment of its cash and marketable securities and other
investments. Since the operations of the Hotel were temporarily suspended on
May 31, 2005, and significant amounts of money were expended to renovate and
reposition the Hotel as a Hilton, Justice did not pay any partnership
distributions until the end of March 2007. As a result, the Company had to
depend more on the revenues generated from the investment of its cash and
marketable securities during that transition period.
The Hotel started to generate cash flows from its operations in June 2006. For
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, Justice paid a total of $850,000 in
limited partnership distributions, of which the Company received $425,000. The
fiscal 2009 distributions were paid in September 2008, after which the San
Francisco hotel market began to feel the full impact of the significant
downturn in domestic and international economies that continued throughout
fiscal 2009 and 2010. As a result, no Partnership distributions were paid in
fiscal 2010. Since no significant improvement in economic conditions is
expected in the lodging industry until sometime during 2011, no limited
partnership distributions are anticipated in the foreseeable future. The
general partners will continue to monitor and review the operations and
financial results of the Hotel and to set the amount of any future
distributions that may be appropriate based on operating results, cash flows
and other factors, including establishment of reasonable reserves for debt
payments and operating contingencies.
The new Justice Compensation Agreement that became effective on December 1,
2008, when Portsmouth assumed the role of managing general partner of Justice,
has provided additional cash flows to the Company. Under the new Compensation
Agreement, Portsmouth is now entitled to 80% of the minimum base fee to be paid
to the general partners of $285,000, while under the prior agreement,
Portsmouth was entitled to receive only 20% of the minimum base fee. As a
result, total general partner fees paid to Portsmouth for the year ended June
30, 2010 increased to $264,000, compared to $222,000 for the year ended June
30, 2009.
-27-
Despite the downturns in the economy, the Hotel has continued to generate
positive cash flows. While the debt service requirements related to the two
Prudential loans, as well as the new term loan to pay off the line of credit,
may create some additional risk for the Company and its ability to generate
cash flows in the future since the Partnership's assets had been virtually debt
free for a number of years, management believes that cash flows from the
operations of the Hotel and the garage will continue to be sufficient to meet
all of the Partnership's current and future obligations and financial
requirements. Management also believes that there is sufficient equity in the
Hotel assets to support future borrowings, if necessary, to fund any new
capital improvements and other requirements.
In March 2009, the Company refinanced its $1,054,000 loan on its corporate
office building and obtained a new loan in the amount of $1,200,000. The
interest rate on the loan is fixed at 5.02% and the loan matures in March 2014.
In October 2008, the Company refinanced the mortgage on its 132-unit apartment
located in San Antonio, Texas and obtained a new mortgage loan in the amount of
$2,850,000. The interest rate on the loan is fixed at 5.26% and the loan
matures in October 2011. In December 2008, the Company modified this loan and
borrowed an additional $504,000. As part of the loan modification, the fixed
interest rate was reduced to 5.0% with no change to the maturity date.
In July 2008, the Company modified the mortgage on its 264-unit apartment
complex located in St. Louis, Missouri and borrowed an additional $500,000 on
the note. The term and the interest rate on the note remain the same.
During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company improved real estate
properties in the aggregate amount of $310,000. Management believes the
improvements to the properties should enhance market values, maintain the
competitiveness of the Company's properties and potentially enable the Company
to obtain a higher yield through higher rents.
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 believes that its cash, securities assets, and the cash flows
generated from those assets and from partnership distributions and management
fees, will be adequate to meet the Company's current and future obligations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of The Intergroup Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Intergroup
Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2010 and 2009,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity
(deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company's management
is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Intergroup
Corporation and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed the manner in which it accounts for noncontrolling interests effective
July 1, 2009.

THE INTERGROUP CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES:
Description of the Business
The InterGroup Corporation, a Delaware corporation, ("InterGroup" or the
"Company") was formed to buy, develop, operate and dispose of real property and
to engage in various investment activities to benefit the Company and its
shareholders.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had the power to vote 80% of the voting shares
of Santa Fe Financial Corporation ("Santa Fe"), a public company (OTCBB: SFEF).
This percentage includes the power to vote an approximately 4% interest in the
common stock in Santa Fe owned by the Company's Chairman and President pursuant
to a voting trust agreement entered into on June 30, 1998.
Santa Fe's revenue is primarily generated through the management of its 68.8%
owned subsidiary, Portsmouth Square, Inc. ("Portsmouth"), a public company
(OTCBB: PRSI). InterGroup also directly owns approximately 11.7% of the common
stock of Portsmouth. Portsmouth has a 50.0% limited partnership interest in
Justice and serves as one of the two general partners. The other general
partner, Evon Corporation ("Evon"), served as the managing general partner
until December 1, 2008 at which time Portsmouth assumed the role of managing
general partner. As discussed in Note 2, the financial statements of Justice
are consolidated with those of the Company.
Justice owns a 544-room hotel property located at 750 Kearny Street, San
Francisco California, known as the Hilton San Francisco Financial District (the
Hotel) and related facilities including a five level underground parking
garage. The Hotel is operated by the partnership as a full service Hilton brand
hotel pursuant to a Franchise License Agreement with Hilton Hotels Corporation.
Justice also has a Management Agreement with Prism Hospitality L.P. (Prism) to
perform the day-to-day management functions of the Hotel.
Justice leased the parking garage to Evon through September 30, 2008.
Effective October 1, 2008, Justice and Evon entered into an Installment Sale
Agreement whereby Justice purchased all of Evon's right, title, and interest in
the remaining term of its lease of the parking garage, which was to expire on
November 30, 2010, and other related assets. Justice also agreed to assume
Evon's contract with Ace Parking Management, Inc. ("Ace Parking") for the
management of the garage and any other liabilities related to the operation of
the garage commencing October 1, 2008. The Partnership also leases a day spa
on the lobby level to Tru Spa.
Due to the temporary closing of the Hotel to undergo major renovations from May
2005 until January 2006 to transition and reposition the Hotel from a Holiday
Inn to a Hilton, and the substantial depreciation and amortization expenses
resulting from the renovations and operating losses incurred as the Hotel
ramped up operations after reopening, Justice has recorded net losses. These
losses were anticipated and planned for as part of the Partnership's renovation
and repositioning plan for Hotel and management considers those net losses to
be temporary. The Hotel has been generating positive cash flows from operations
-36-
since June 2006 and net income is expected to improve in the future, especially
since depreciation and amortization expenses attributable to the renovation
will decrease substantially. Despite the significant downturn in the economy,
management believes that the revenues expected to be generated from the Hotel,
garage and the Partnership's leases will be sufficient to meet all of the
Partnership's current and future obligations and financial requirements.
Management also believes that there is significant equity in the Hotel to
support additional borrowings, if necessary.
In addition to the operations of the Hotel, the Company also generates income
from the ownership of real estate. Properties include apartment complexes,
commercial real estate, and two single-family houses as strategic investments.
The properties are located throughout the United States, but are concentrated
in Texas and Southern California. The Company also has investments in
unimproved real property. The Company's residential rental properties located
in California are managed by a professional third party property management
company.
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.
Investment in Hotel, Net
The Hotel property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Building and improvements are being depreciated on a straight-
line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 39 years.
Furniture, fixtures and equipment are being depreciated on a straight-line
basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 7 years.
Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, and costs of
significant renewals and improvements are capitalized. Costs of significant
renewals and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of
its remaining estimated useful life or life of the asset.
The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP). If the carrying amount of the asset, including any intangible assets
associated with that asset, exceeds its estimated undiscounted net cash flow,
before interest, the Company will recognize an impairment loss equal to the
difference between its carrying amount and its estimated fair value. If
impairment is recognized, the reduced carrying amount of the asset will be
accounted for as its new cost. For a depreciable asset, the new cost will be
depreciated over the asset's remaining useful life. Generally, fair values are
estimated using discounted cash flow, replacement cost or market comparison
analyses. The process of evaluating for impairment requires estimates as to
future events and conditions, which are subject to varying market and economic
factors. Therefore, it is reasonably possible that a change in estimate
resulting from judgments as to future events could occur which would affect the
recorded amounts of the property. No impairment losses were recorded for the
years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
-37-
Investment in Real Estate, Net
Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation of rental property is provided on the straight-line method based
upon estimated useful lives of 5 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and
5 to 10 years for equipment. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are
charged to expense as incurred and major improvements are capitalized.
The Company also reviews its rental property assets for impairment. No
impairment losses on the investment in real estate have been recorded for the
years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
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 consolidated
statements of operations.
Other Investments, Net
Other investments include non-marketable securities that are carried at cost
net of any impairment loss and non-marketable warrants carried at fair value.
The Company has no significant influence or control over the entities that
issue these investments. These investments are reviewed on a periodic basis
for other-than-temporary impairment. The Company reviews several factors to
determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary. These factors include but are
not limited to: (i) the length of time an investment is in an unrealized loss
position, (ii) the extent to which fair value is less than cost, (iii) the
financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer and (iv) our ability
to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any
anticipated recovery in fair value. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and
2009, the Company recorded impairment losses related to other investments of
$1,805,000 and $1,300,000, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company has investments in stock warrants that are considered derivative
instruments.
Derivative financial instruments, as defined in ASC 815-10-15-83, "Derivatives
and Hedging"(pre-Codification SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments and Hedging Activities ), consist of financial instruments or other
contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g.
interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net
investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be
free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative
financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value
on the Company's consolidated balance sheet with the related unrealized gain or
loss recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. The
Company used the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair
value these instruments which requires management to make significant
assumptions including trading volatility, estimated terms, and risk free rates.
Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the
development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely
to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal
and external market factors. In addition, option-based models are highly
volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the underlying
-38-
common stock, which has a high-historical volatility. Since derivative
financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values,
the Company's consolidated statement of operations will reflect the volatility
in these estimate and assumption changes.
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.
Other Assets, Net
Other asset includes loan fees, franchise fees and license fees. Loan fees are
stated at cost and amortized over the term of the loan using the effective
interest method. Franchise fees are stated at cost and amortized over the life
of the agreement (15 years). License fees are stated at cost and amortized over
10 years.
Accounts receivable from the Hotel and rental property customers are carried at
cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based on management's
assessment of the collectability of accounts receivable. The Company extends
unsecured credit to its customers but mitigates the associated credit risk by
performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers.
Due to Securities Broker
The Company may utilize margin for its marketable securities purchases through
the use of standard margin agreements with national brokerage firms. Various
securities brokers have advanced funds to the Company for the purchase of
marketable securities under standard margin agreements. These advanced funds
are recorded as a liability.
Obligation for Securities Sold
Obligation for securities sold represents the fair market value of shares sold
with the promise to deliver that security at some future date and the fair
market value of shares underlying the written call options with the obligation
to deliver that security when and if the option is exercised. The obligation
may be satisfied with current holdings of the same security or by subsequent
purchases of that security. Unrealized gains and losses from changes in the
obligation are included in the statement of operations.
Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities
Accounts payable and other liabilities include trade payables, advance deposits
and other liabilities.
Of the total accounts payable and other liabilities balance of $10,473,000,
$7,417,000 is accounts payable related to Justice Investors and its hotel
operations.
-39-
Treasury Stock
The Company records the acquisition of treasury stock under the cost method.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for its assets and liabilities under accounting standards
of fair value measurement. Under these standards, fair value is defined as the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
(i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. Accounting standards for fair value measurement
establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes
the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by
requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable
inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of
the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's
assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the
circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the
observability of inputs as follows:
Level 1-inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for
identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2-inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for
the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the
full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3-inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to
the fair value.
Revenue Recognition
Room revenue is recognized on the date upon which a guest occupies a room
and/or utilizes the Hotel's services. Food and beverage revenues are recognized
upon delivery. Garage revenue is recognized when a guest uses the garage space.
Rental revenue is recognized on the straight-line method of accounting whereby
contractual rent payment increases are recognized evenly over the lease term,
regardless of when the rent payments are received by Justice. The leases
contain provisions for base rent plus a percentage of the lessees' revenues,
which are recognized when 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 calculated under the liability method. Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are based on differences between the
financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the current
enacted tax rates. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
included as a component of income tax expense. Changes in deferred income tax
assets and liabilities attributable to changes in enacted tax rates are charged
-40-
or credited to income tax expense in the period of enactment. Valuation
allowances are established for certain deferred tax assets where realization is
not likely.
Assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or
positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are
judged to not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold based on the technical
merits of the positions.
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, 2010 and 2009, there were no liabilities for
environmental remediation.
Earnings Per Share
Basic income(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income(loss) available
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. The computation of diluted income(loss) per share is similar to
the computation of basic earnings per share except that the weighted-average
number of common shares is increased to include the number of additional common
shares that would have been outstanding if potential dilutive common shares had
been issued. The Company's only potentially dilutive common shares are stock
options. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had 75,000 stock options that were
considered potentially dilutive common shares and 117,000 stock options that
were considered anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had 45,000
stock options that were considered potentially dilutive common shares and
57,000 stock options that were considered anti-dilutive. However, the basic
and diluted earnings per share were the same for the years ended June 30, 2010
and 2009 because of the Company's net loss from continuing operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires the use of
estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled
transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements.
Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current
year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,
which was primarily codified into Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic
105. This standard became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Codification was
effective for interim or annual financial periods ended after September 15,
-41-
2009. The Company adopted ASC 105 beginning the quarter ended September 30,
2009. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Additionally, the FASB now uses Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) to amend
ASC.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R) (SFAS 167), which has been codified into ASC Topic 810-10,
"Consolidation". It clarifies that related parties should be considered when
evaluating the criteria for determining whether a decision maker's or service
provider's fee represents a variable interest. In addition, the amendments
clarify that a quantitative calculation should not be the sole basis for
evaluating whether a decision maker's or service provider's fee represents a
variable interest. This guidance will be effective at the start of a reporting
entity's first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application
is not permitted. Management does not anticipate that the adoption of this
guidance will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, which was
primarily codified into ASC Topic 855 and updated by ASU 2010-09. The Company
adopted ASC Topic 855 which requires an entity to recognize in the financial
statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional
evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet. For
non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial
statements from being misleading, an entity will be required to disclose the
nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a
statement that such an estimate cannot be made. ASC Topic 855 is consistent
with current practice and did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements. Subsequent events were evaluated through the date the
consolidated financial statements were issued.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interest in
Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51" which was
primarily codified into ASC Topic 810, "Consolidation." ASC Topic 810 states
that accounting and reporting for minority interests will be recharacterized as
noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. This standard
also establishes reporting requirements that provide disclosures that identify
and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the
noncontrolling owners. ASC Topic 810 required retrospective adoption of the
presentation and disclosure requirements for previously existing minority
interests. All other requirements are to be applied prospectively. This
standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The
Company adopted the provisions beginning July 1, 2009. Prior to adopting this
standard, the Company absorbed 100% of the net loss and accumulated deficit of
Justice Investors as of June 30, 2009. Effective July 1, 2009 under ASC Topic
810, losses attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary shall be attributed to those respective interests. That is, the
noncontrolling interest shall continue to be attributed its share of losses
even if that attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance.
As a result, upon adoption, the Company recalculated the accumulated deficit
pertaining to noncontrolling interest totaling $5,126,000 and $4,499,000 as of
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and reclassified such amount as a
separate component of the shareholders' equity (deficit). However, the losses
attributed to the noncontrolling interest were not adjusted in the consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2009.
-42-
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities"
which was primarily codified into ASC Topic 825, "Financial Instruments." ASC
Topic 825 provides entities with an irrevocable option to report selected
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. It also establishes
presentation and disclosure requirements that are designed to facilitate
comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for
similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted ASC Topic 825 on
July 1, 2008 and chose not to elect the fair value option for its financial
assets and liabilities that had not been previously carried at fair value.
Therefore, material financial assets and liabilities not carried at fair value,
such as other assets, accounts payable, line of credit, other notes payable and
mortgage payables are reported at their carrying values.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, "Improving Disclosures About Fair
Value Measurements." Effective January 1, 2010, ASU 2010-06 requires the
separate disclosure of significant transfers into and out of the Level 1 and
Level 2 categories and the reasons for such transfers, and also requires fair
value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities as well
as disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs used for recurring and
nonrecurring Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. Effective in fiscal
years beginning after December 31, 2010, ASU 2010-06 also requires Level 3
disclosure of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements activity on a gross
rather than a net basis. These amendments resulted in additional disclosures in
the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations",
which was primarily codified into ASC Topic 805, "Business Combinations". It
establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business
combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling
interest; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business
combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information
to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature
and financial effects of the business combination. This standard is to be
applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date
is on or after an entity's fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. The
Company adopted this standard beginning July 1, 2009 and adoption of this
standard had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE 2 - JUSTICE INVESTORS
On July 14, 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) SOP 78-9-1, "Interaction
of AICPA Statement of Position 78-9 and EITF Issue No. 04-5" which was codified
into ASC Topic 910-810, "Real Estate - General - Consolidation", 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" which was
codified into ASC 810-20, "Consolidation", eliminated the concept of "important
rights"(ASC Topic 970-810) and replaces it with the concepts of "kick out
rights" and "substantive participating rights". In accordance with guidance
set forth in ASC Topic 970-20, Portsmouth has applied the principles of
accounting applicable for investments in subsidiaries due to its substantial
limited partnership interest and general partnership rights and has
-43-
consolidated the financial statements of Justice with those of the Company
effective as of July 1, 2006. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the
results of operations for Justice were consolidated with those of the Company.
On December 1, 2008, Portsmouth and Evon, as the two general partners of
Justice, entered into a 2008 Amendment to the Limited Partnership Agreement
(the "Amendment") that provides for a change in the respective roles of the
general partners. Pursuant to the Amendment, Portsmouth assumed the role of
Managing General Partner and Evon continued on as the Co-General Partner of
Justice. The Amendment was ratified by approximately 98% of the limited
partnership interests. The Amendment also provides that future amendments to
the Limited Partnership Agreement may be made only upon the consent of the
general partners and at least seventy five percent (75%) of the interests of
the limited partners. Consent of at least 75% of the interests of the limited
partners will also be required to remove a general partner pursuant to the
Amendment.
Concurrent with the Amendment to the Limited Partnership Agreement, a new
General Partner Compensation Agreement (the "Compensation Agreement") was
entered into on December 1, 2008, among Justice, Portsmouth and Evon to
terminate and supersede all prior compensation agreement for the general
partners. Pursuant to the Compensation Agreement, the general partners of
Justice will be entitled to receive an amount equal to 1.5% of the gross annual
revenues of the Partnership (as defined), less $75,000 to be used as a
contribution toward the cost of Justice engaging an asset manager. In no event
shall the annual compensation be less than a minimum base of approximately
$285,000, with eighty percent (80%) of that amount being allocated to
Portsmouth for its services as managing general partner and twenty percent
(20%) allocated to Evon as the co-general partner. Compensation earned by the
general partners in each calendar year in excess of the minimum base, will be
payable in equal fifty percent (50%) shares to Portsmouth and Evon.

The fair values of investments in marketable securities are determined by the
most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. The fair
value of the warrants was determined based upon a Black-Scholes option
valuation model.
Financial assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and
are not included in the tables above include "Other investments in non-
marketable securities," that were initially measured at cost and have been
-48-
written down to fair value as a result of impairment. The following table shows
the fair value hierarchy for these assets measured at fair value on a non-
recurring basis as of June 30, 2010:

Other investments in non-marketable securities are carried at cost net of any
impairment loss. The Company has no significant influence or control over the
entities that issue these investments. These investments are reviewed on a
periodic basis for other-than-temporary impairment. The Company reviews several
factors to determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary. These factors
include but are not limited to: (i) the length of time an investment is in an
unrealized loss position, (ii) the extent to which fair value is less than
cost, (iii) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer and
(iv) our ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to
allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

NOTE 10 - OTHER NOTES PAYABLE AND LINE OF CREDIT
The Partnership had a $2,500,000 unsecured revolving line of credit facility
with a bank that was to mature on April 30, 2010. Borrowings under that line of
credit bore interest at Prime plus 3.0% per annum or based on the Wall Street
Journal Prime Rate (3.25%) plus 3.0% per annum, floating, (but subject to a
minimum floor rate at 5.0% per annum). Borrowings under the line of credit were
subject to certain financial covenants, which are measured annually at June
30th and December 31st based on the credit arrangement. Effective April 29,
-49-
2010, the Partnership obtained a modification from the bank which converted its
revolving line of credit facility to a term loan. The Partnership also obtained
a waiver of any prior noncompliance with financial covenants.
The modification provides that Justice will pay the $2,500,000 balance on its
line of credit facility over a period of four years, to mature on April 30,
2014. This term loan calls for monthly principal and interest payments of
$41,000, calculated on a six-year amortization schedule, with interest only
from May 1, 2010 to August 31, 2010. Pursuant to the modification, the annual
floating interest rate was reduced by 0.5% to the WSJ Prime Rate plus 2.5%
(with a minimum floor rate of 5.0% per annum). The modification includes
financial covenants written to reflect financial conditions that all hotels are
facing. The covenants include specific financial ratios and a return to minimum
profitability by June 2011. Management believes that the Partnership has the
ability to meet the specific covenants and the Partnership was in compliance
with the covenants as of June 30, 2010. The Partnership paid a loan
modification fee of $10,000. The loan continues as unsecured. As of June 30,
2010, the interest rate was 5.75% and the outstanding balance was $2,500,000.
As of June 30, 2009, the interest rate was 6.25% and the outstanding balance on
the line of credit was $1,811,000.
The Partnership has short-term financing agreements with a financial
institution for the payment of its general, property, and workers' compensation
insurance. The notes payable under these financing agreements bear interest at
3.8% per annum and payable in equal monthly installments (principal and
interest) through December 2010. The notes payable at June 30, 2010 and 2009,
were $176,000 and $246,000, respectively.
As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership also has a note payable due to
Evon Corporation in the amount of $143,000 and $480,000, respectively. This

Ace Parking Management, Inc., in the amount of $36,000 and $104,000,
respectively. This note has an annual fixed interest rate of 8.5% and matures
on October 31, 2010.
Justice leases certain equipment under capital leases expiring in various years
through 2012. The capital lease obligations at June 30, 2010 and 2009, were

Justice and Evon entered into an installment sale agreement whereby Justice
purchased all of Evon's right, title, and interest in the remaining term of the
garage lease and other related assets. Justice also agreed to assume Evon's
contract with Ace Parking Management, Inc. (Ace) for the management of the
garage and note payable to Ace related to the operation of the garage
commencing October 1, 2008. The purchase price for the garage lease and related
assets was $755,000, payable in one down payment of $28,000 and 26 equal
monthly installments of $29,000, which includes interest at the rate of 2.4%

monthly rental equal to the greater of the sum of $20,000, or an amount equal
to 60% of gross parking revenues as defined by the lease. For the three months
ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership recorded rental income from Evon of
$402,000.

NOTE 13 - MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
On February 2, 2007, the Partnership entered into an agreement with Prism to
manage and operate the Hotel as its agent. The agreement is effective for a
term of ten years, unless the agreement is extended or earlier terminated as
provided in the agreement. Under the management agreement, the Partnership is
required to pay the base management fees of 2.5% of gross operating revenues of
the Hotel (i.e., room, food and beverage, and other operating departments) for
the fiscal year. However, 0.75% of the stated management fee is due only if the
partially adjusted net operating income of the hotel for the fiscal year
exceeds the amount of the Hotel return for the fiscal year. Prism is also
entitled to an incentive management fee if certain milestones are accomplished.
No incentive fees were paid during the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. In
support of the Partnership's efforts to reduce costs in this difficult economic
environment, Prism agreed to reduce its management fees by fifty percent from
January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2010, after which the original fee
arrangement will remain in effect. Management fees paid to Prism during the
years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $246,000 and $398,000, respectively.

NOTE 16 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company follows the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123
(Revised), "Share-Based Payments" ("SFAS No. 123R"), which was primarily
codified into ASC Topic 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation", which
addresses accounting for equity-based compensation arrangements, including
employee stock options and restricted stock units.
Intergroup Corporation 2010 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan
On February 24, 2010, the shareholders of the Company approved The Intergroup
Corporation 2010 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan"), which was
formally adopted by the Board of Directors following the annual meeting of
shareholders. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests
of its employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards are generally
granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's stock
at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest based on 5 years of
continuous service. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated
vesting if there is a change in control, as defined in the 2010 Plan. The 2010
plan authorizes a total of up to 200,000 shares of common stock to be issued as
equity compensation to officers and employees of the Company in an amount and
in a manner to be determined by the Compensation Committee in accordance with
the terms of the 2010 Plan. The 2010 Plan authorizes the awards of several
types of equity compensation including stock options, stock appreciation
rights, performance awards and other stock based compensation. The 2010 Plan
will expire on February 23, 2020, if not terminated sooner by the Board of
Directors upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee. Any awards issued
under the 2010 Plan will expire under the terms of the grant agreement.
On March 16, 2010, the Compensation Committee authorized the grant of 100,000
stock options to the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive, John V.
Winfield to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock
pursuant to the 2010 Plan. The exercise price of the options is $10.30, which
is 100% of the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock as determined by
reference to the closing price of the Company's Common Stock as reported on the
NASDAQ Capital Market on March 16, 2010, the date of grant. The options expire
ten years from the date of grant, unless earlier terminated in accordance with
the terms of the 2010 Plan. The options shall be subject to both time and
performance based vesting requirements, each of which must be satisfied before
options are fully vested and eligible to be exercised. Pursuant to the time
vesting requirements, the options vest over a period of five years, with 20,000
options vesting upon each one year anniversary of the date of grant. Pursuant
to the performance vesting requirements, the options vest in increments of
20,000 shares upon each increase of $2.00 or more in the market price of the
Company's common stock above the exercise price ($10.30) of the options. To
satisfy this requirement, the common stock must trade at that increased level
for a period of at least ten trading days during any one quarter.
On March 16, 2010, the Compensation Committee also authorized a grant of 5,000
stock options to the Company's Vice President Real Estate, David C. Gonzalez,
to purchase up to 5,000 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the
2010 Plan. The exercise price of the options is $10.30 and the options expire
ten years from the date of grant, unless earlier terminated in accordance with
the terms of the 2010 Plan. The options vest as follows: March 16, 2011 - 2,500
shares; and March 16, 2012 - 2,500 shares.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the
table below. Because Black-Scholes option valuation models incorporate ranges
-57-
of assumptions for inputs, those ranges are disclosed. Expected volatilities
are based on historical volatility of the Company's stock, and other factors.
The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee
termination within the valuation model; The expected term of options granted is
derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period
of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding; The risk-free rate
for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S.
Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The fair value of options is measured by applying the Black-Scholes model on
grant date, using the following assumptions for the year ended June 30, 2010:
Expected volatility 51.6%
Expected term 7 years
Expected dividend yield 0%
Risk-free interest rate 2.36%
During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded stock option
compensation cost of $43,000 related to issuance of stock options. As of June
30, 2010, there was a total of $266,000 of unamortized compensation related to
stock options which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average of 5
years.
The following table summarizes the stock options outstanding as of June 30,
2010:

however, any outstanding options under that plan remained effective in
accordance with their terms. Those stock compensation plans are more fully

The InterGroup Corporation 2007 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee
Directors (the "2007 Plan") was approved by the shareholders of the Company on
February 21, 2007, and was thereafter adopted by the Board of Directors. The
2007 Plan will terminate upon the earlier of the date all shares reserved for
issuance have been awarded or February 21, 2017, if not sooner terminated by
the Board upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee. The stock to be
available for issuance under the 2007 Plan shall be unrestricted 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, a maximum of 60,000 shares of the Common Stock will be
available for issuance to participants under the 2007 Plan.
All non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the 2007 Plan. Each
non-employee director as of the adoption date of the 2007 Plan was granted an
award of 600 unrestricted shares of the Company's Common Stock. On each July 1
following the adoption date of the 2007 Plan, each non-employee director shall
receive an automatic grant of a number of shares of Company's Common Stock
equal in value to $18,000 based on 100% of the fair market value (as defined)
of the Common Stock on the date of grant, provided he or she holds such
position on that date and the number of shares of Common Stock available for
grant under the 2007 Plan is sufficient to permit such automatic grant. Any
fractional shares resulting from such grant will be rounded up to next highest
whole share. All stock awards to non-employee directors will be fully vested
on the date of grant. The dollar amount of the annual grant is subject to
further adjustment by the Board of Directors upon recommendation by the
Compensation Committee.
The stock awards granted under the 2007 Plan are shares of unrestricted Common
Stock and are fully vested on the date of grant. The right of the non-employee
director to receive his or her annual grant of Common is personal to the
director and is not transferable. Once received, shares of Common Stock awarded
-59-
to the non-employee director are freely transferable subject to any
requirements of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"). On June 28, 2007, Company filed a registration
statement on Form S-8 to register the shares subject to the 2007 Plan and the
Company's two prior stock option plans under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act").
Upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board may, at any time
and from time to time and in any respect, amend or modify the 2007 Plan. The
Board must obtain stockholder approval of any material amendment to the 2007
Plan if required by any applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule. The
Board of Directors may amend the 2007 Plan or any award agreement, which
amendment may be retroactive, in order to conform it to any present or future
law, regulation or ruling relating to plans of this or similar nature. No
amendment or modification of the 2007 Plan or any award agreement may adversely
affect any outstanding award without the written consent of the participant
holding the award.
For the year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the four non-employee directors of
the Company received a total grant of 6,004 and 4,560 shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the 2007 Plan.
The InterGroup Corporation 2008 Restricted Stock Unit Plan
On December 3, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted, a new
equity compensation plan for its officers, directors and key employees
entitled, The InterGroup Corporation 2008 Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the "RSU
Plan"). The Plan was adopted, in part, to replace the stock option plans that
expired on December 7, 2008. The Plan was approved by shareholders at the
Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders on February 18, 2009.
The RSU Plan authorizes the Company to issue restricted stock units ("RSUs") as
equity compensation to officers, directors and key employees of the Company on
such terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee of the
Company. RSUs are not actual shares of the Company's common stock, but rather
promises to deliver common stock in the future, subject to certain vesting
requirements and other restrictions as may be determined by the Committee.
Holders of RSUs have no voting rights with respect to the underlying shares of
common stock and holders are not entitled to receive any dividends until the
RSUs vest and the shares are delivered. No awards of RSUs shall vest until at
least nine months after shareholder approval of the RSU Plan on February 18,
2009. Subject to certain adjustments upon changes in capitalization, a maximum
of 200,000 shares of the common stock are available for issuance to
participants under the RSU Plan. The RSU Plan will terminate ten (10) years
from December 3, 2008, unless terminated sooner by the Board of Directors.
After the RSU Plan is terminated, no awards may be granted but awards
previously granted shall remain outstanding in accordance with the Plan and
their applicable terms and conditions.
Under the RSU Plan, the Compensation Committee also has the power and authority
to establish and implement an exchange program that would permit the Company to
offer holders of awards issued under prior shareholder approved compensation
plans to exchange certain options for new RSUs on terms and conditions to be
set by the Committee. The exchange program is designed to increase the
retention and motivational value of awards granted under prior plans. In
-60-
addition, by exchanging options for RSUs, the Company will reduce the number of
shares of common stock subject to equity awards, thereby reducing potential
dilution to stockholders in the event of significant increases in the value of
its common stock.
Pursuant to an exchange offer authorized by the Compensation Committee, a total
of 5,812 RSUs were issued to four holders of Non-Employee Director stock
options in exchange for a total of 36,000 stock options which were surrendered
to the Company on December 7, 2008. The number of RSUs issued was determined by
multiplying the number of options that were surrendered by the difference
between the exercise price of the options surrendered ($8.00) and the closing
price of the Company's common stock on December 5, 2008 of $9.54, with that
product divided by the closing price of the common stock on December 5, 2009.
No additional compensation expense was recognized related to the exchange as
the fair market value of the options immediately prior to the exchange,
approximated the fair value of the RSUs on the day of issuance. In August
2009, the 5,812 RSUs vested and the Company issued common stock.
Pursuant to a further exchange offer authorized by the Compensation Committee,
a total of 4,775 RSUs were issued to five holders of Non-Employee Director
stock options in exchange for a total of 15,000 stock options which were
surrendered to the Company on June 30, 2009. The number of RSUs issued was
determined by multiplying the number of options that were surrendered by the
difference between the exercise price of the options surrendered ($8.17) and
the closing price of the Company's common stock on June 30, 2009 of $11.99,
with that product divided by the closing price of the common stock on June 30,
2009. No additional compensation expense was recognized related to the exchange
as the fair market value of the options immediately prior to the exchange,
approximated the fair value of the RSUs on the day of issuance. In January
2010, the 4,775 RSUs vested and the company issued common stock. In June 2010,
three non-employee directors exchanged a total of 12,000 stock options for
2,564 RSUs. No compensation expense was recognized related to the exchange as
the fair market value of the options immediately prior to the exchange,
approximated the fair value of the RSUs on the day of issuance.
On December 15, 2008, the Compensation Committee authorized a similar exchange
offer to the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), respecting 225,000
stock options issued to him under the 1998 Key Officer and Employee Plan that
were to expire on December 21, 2008. Pursuant to that exchange offer, the
Company's CEO surrendered his 225,000 options to the Company on December 21,
2008 in exchange for 84,628 RSUs. The number of RSUs issued was based on an
exercise price of the options surrendered of $7.917 and the closing price of
the Company's common stock on December 19, 2008 of $12.69, using the same
formula as the exchange offer to the holders of the Non-Employee Director
options. No additional compensation expense was recognized related to the
exchange as the fair market value of the options immediately prior to the
exchange, approximated the fair value of the RSUs on the day of issuance. In
September 2009, 54,628 RSUs vested and the Company issued common stock. No
stock compensation was recognized as compensation expense for this conversion
as they were previously calculated at the grant date under the pro-forma
disclosures of SFAS 123(codified into ASC 718-10).

During the year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, no additional compensation
expense was recognized related to the exchange of previously issued stock
options to RSUs as the fair market value of the options immediately prior to
the exchange, approximated the fair value of the RSUs on the day of issuance.
NOTE 17 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The contractor that was selected to oversee the garage and the first four
floors' renovation (excluding room upgrades) of the Hotel is the contractor who
originally constructed the Hotel. He is also a limited partner in the
Partnership and is a director of Evon Corporation, the co-general partner of
the Partnership. There were no payables to the contractor at June 30, 2010 and
2009. Services performed by the contractor were capitalized as fixed assets
which totaled $0 and $103,000 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. Management believes these renovations were competitively priced.
Through September 30, 2008, Evon, was the lessee of the parking garage. Evon
paid the Partnership $402,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008,
under the terms of the lease agreement. The lease agreement with Evon was
terminated effective October 1, 2008. Concurrently, an installment sale
agreement was entered between Justice and Evon. Justice had a note payable to
Evon totaling $143,000 and $480,000 as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
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
and Chairman of InterGroup and oversees the investment activity
of the Company. Depending on certain market conditions and various risk
factors, the Chief Executive Officer, his family and the Company 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 InterGroup, at
risk in connection with investment decisions made on behalf of the Company.

During the each of the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the general partners
of Justice were paid a total of $417,000 and $425,000, respectively. The total
amounts paid represents the minimum base compensation of $285,000 each year
plus $131,000 and $140,000, respectively, based upon the agreement. The
amounts paid to the Company were eliminated in the consolidation.
Franchise Agreements
The Partnership entered into a Franchise License agreement (the License
agreement) with the Hilton Hotels Corporation (Hilton) on December 10, 2004.
The term of the License agreement is for a period of 15 years commencing on the
opening date, with an option to extend the license agreement for another five
years, subject to certain conditions.
Beginning on the opening date in January 2006, the Partnership paid monthly
royalty fees for the first two years of three percent (3%) of the Hotel's gross
room revenue for the preceding calendar month; the third year was at four
percent (4%) of the Hotel's gross room revenue; and the fourth year until the
-63-
end of the term will be five percent (5%) of the Hotel's gross room revenue.
The Partnership also pays a monthly program fee of four percent (4%) of the
Hotel's gross revenue. The amount of the monthly program fee is subject to
change; however, the increase cannot exceed one percent (1%) of the Hotel gross
room revenue in any calendar year, and the cumulative increases in the monthly
fees will not exceed five percent (5%) of gross room revenue. Franchise fees
for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $2,239,000 and $2,128,000,
respectively.
The Partnership also pays Hilton a monthly information technology recapture
charge of 0.75% of the Hotel's gross revenues. In this difficult economic
environment, Hilton agreed to reduce its information technology fees to 0.65%
for the 2010 calendar year. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, those
charges were $139,000 and $166,000, respectively.
The Company is involved from time to time in various claims in the ordinary
course of business. Management does not believe that the impact of such matters
will have a material effect on the financial conditions or result of operations
when resolved.
NOTE 19 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
Justice has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) for employees who have
completed six months of service. Justice provides a matching contribution up to
4% of the contribution to the Plan based upon a certain percentage on the
employees' elective deferrals. Justice may also make discretionary
contributions to the Plan each year. Contributions made to the Plan amounted to
$64,000 and $73,000 during the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.

vesting date. The RSUs were issued pursuant to The InterGroup Corporation 2008
Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the "RSU Plan"). On December 21, 2008, Mr. Winfield
surrendered to the Company 225,000 fully vested stock options in exchange for
84,628 RSUs pursuant to an exchange offer made by the Compensation Committee as
authorized by 2008 RSU Plan. Each RSU represents a promise to deliver, in the
future, one share of Common Stock, subject to certain vesting requirements and
other restrictions. The number of RSUs to be issued under the exchange offer
was determined by multiplying the number of options that were surrendered by
the difference between the exercise price of the options surrendered ($7.917)
and the closing price of the Company's common stock on December 19, 2008 of
$12.69, with that product divided by the closing price of the common stock on
December 19, 2008. Since the value of the RSUs issued equaled the value of the
options surrendered, no dollar compensation amount was recognized for fiscal
2009. The RSUs are taxable as ordinary income to Mr. Winfield upon vesting and
issuance of the shares of Common Stock. Mr. Winfield's remaining RSUs vest, and
the shares of common stock are issuable, as follow: September 10, 2010 -
15,000; and September 10, 2011 - 15,000 shares.

(3) Dollar amount reflects aggregate grant date fair value, computed in
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, of 100,000 stock options granted to Mr.
Winfield on March 16, 2010 pursuant to the Company's 2010 Omnibus Employee
Incentive Plan (the "2010 Incentive Plan"). The options expire 10 years from
the date of grant and have an exercise price of $10.30 per share, which was
100% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock as determined by
reference to the closing price as reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market on
March 16, 2010, the date of grant. The options are subject to both time and
performance based vesting requirements, each of which must be satisfied before
the options are fully vested and eligible to be exercised. Pursuant to the time
vesting requirements, the options vest over a period of five years, with 20,000
options vesting upon each one year anniversary of the date of grant. Pursuant
to the performance vesting requirements, the options vest in increments of
20,000 shares upon each increase of $2.00 or more in the market price of the
Company's common stock above the exercise price ($10.30) of the options. To
satisfy this requirement, the common stock must trade at that increased level
for a period of at least ten trading days during any one quarter.
(4) Amounts include an auto allowance and compensation for a portion of the
salary of an assistant. The auto allowance was $30,000 and $29,000 during
fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. The amount of compensation related
to the assistant was approximately $57,000 and $52,000 for fiscal years 2010
and 2009, respectively. During fiscal 2010 and 2009, the Company and its
subsidiaries also paid annual premiums in the total amount of $85,000 for split
dollar whole life insurance policies owned by, and the beneficiary of which
are, a trust for the benefit of Mr. Winfield's family. Of the $85,000 in
premiums paid each year, Santa Fe and Portsmouth paid $43,000 of that amount.
The Company has a secured right to receive, from any proceeds of the policies,
reimbursement of all premiums paid prior to any payment to the beneficiary.
(5) Dollar amount reflects aggregate grant date fair value computed in
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 of 5,000 stock options granted to Mr.
Gonzalez on March 16, 2010 pursuant to the Company's 2010 Omnibus Employee
Incentive Plan. The options expire 10 years from the date of grant and have an
exercise price of $10.30 per share. The options vest as follow: 2,500 options
vest on March 16, 2011; and 2,500 options vest on March 16, 2012.
(6) Mr. Nguyen's salary is allocated approximately 50% to the Company and 25%
each to Santa Fe and Portsmouth.
(7) For fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively, these amounts include $105,000 and
$94,800 in salary allocated to and paid by Portsmouth and $18,750 and $16,200
in salary allocated to Santa Fe.
Compensation Committee and Executive Compensation
The Company's Administrative and Compensation Committee (the "Compensation
Committee") is comprised of three "independent" members of the Board of
Directors as independence is defined by the applicable rules of the SEC and
NASDAQ. Mr. Nance serves as Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The
Company has not established a charter for the Compensation Committee. The
Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors the
compensation for the Company's Chief Executive Officer and other executive
officers, including equity or performance based compensation and plans. The
Compensation Committee seeks to design and set compensation to attract and
-71-
retain highly qualified executive officers and to align their interests with
those of long-term owners of the Company. The Compensation Committee may also
make recommendations to the Board of Directors as to the amount and form of
director compensation. The Compensation Committee has not engaged any
compensation consultants in determining the amount or form of executive of
director compensation, but does review and monitor published compensation
surveys and studies. The Compensation Committee may delegate to the Company's
Chief Executive Officer the authority determine the compensation of certain
executive officers. The Compensation Committee also oversees the Company's
2007 Stock Compensation Plan, the 2008 RSU Plan and the 2010 Employee Incentive
Plan.
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 Company's previous
experience and results with outside money managers was not acceptable.
Pursuant to the criteria established the Board of Directors, Mr. Winfield is
entitled to performance compensation for his management of the securities
portfolios of the Company and its subsidiaries equal to 20% of all net
investment gains generated in excess of an annual return equal to the Prime
Rate of Interest (as published by the Wall Street Journal) plus 2%.
Compensation amounts are earned, calculated and paid quarterly based on the
results of the Company's investment portfolio for that quarter. Should the
companies have a net investment loss during any quarter, Mr. Winfield would not
be entitled to any further performance-based compensation until any such
investment losses are recouped by the Company. This performance based
compensation program may be modified or terminated at the discretion of the
respective Boards of Directors. No performance based compensation was earned or
paid for fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 or 2009.
Internal Revenue Code Limitations
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
provides that, in the case of a publicly held corporation, the corporation is
not generally allowed to deduct remuneration paid to its chief executive
officer and certain other highly compensated officers to the extent that such
remuneration exceeds $1,000,000 for the taxable year. Certain remuneration,
however, is not subject to disallowance, including compensation paid on a
commission basis and, if certain requirements prescribed by the Code are
satisfied, other performance based compensation. Since InterGroup, Santa Fe
and Portsmouth are each public companies, the $1,000,000 limitation applies
separately to the compensation paid by each entity. Stock option expenses are
also amortized over a several years. For fiscal years 2010 and 2009, no
compensation paid by the Company to its CEO or other executive officers was
subject the deduction disallowance prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company currently has three equity compensation plans, each of which has
been approved by the Company's stockholders. The Company's 1998 Stock Option
Plan for Selected Key Officers, Employees and Consultants (the "Key Employee
Plan") expired on December 8, 2008 and no options under the Key Employee Plan
were granted in fiscal 2009. The Key Employee Plan was replaced by The
InterGroup Corporation 2008 Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the "RSU Plan"),
described below. The Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee
Directors (the "Non-Employee Director Plan") was terminated upon shareholder
approval, and Board adoption, of The InterGroup Corporation 2007 Stock
Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "2007 Plan"), described
below, since all options authorized to be issued under the Non-Employee
Director Plan were exhausted in fiscal 2006. Any outstanding options issued
under the Key Employee Plan or the Non-Employee Director Plan remain effective
in accordance with their terms.
The purpose of the Company's equity compensation plans is to provide a means
whereby officers, directors and key employees of the Company develop a sense of
proprietorship and personal involvement in the development and financial
success of the Company, and to encourage them to devote their best efforts to
the business of the Company, thereby advancing the interests of the Company and
its shareholders. A further purpose of these plan is to provide a means through
which the Company may attract able individuals to become employees or serve as
directors of the Company and to provide a means for such individuals to acquire
and maintain stock ownership in the Company, thereby strengthening their
concern for the welfare of the Company.
The InterGroup Corporation 2007 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee
Directors
The InterGroup Corporation 2007 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee
Directors (the "2007 Plan") was approved by the shareholders of the Company on
February 21, 2007, and was thereafter adopted by the Board of Directors. The
2007 Plan will terminate upon the earlier of the date all shares reserved for
issuance have been awarded or February 21, 2017, if not sooner terminated by
the Board upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee. The stock to be
available for issuance under the 2007 Plan shall be unrestricted 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, a maximum of 60,000 shares of the Common Stock will be
available for issuance to participants under the 2007 Plan.
All non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the 2007 Plan. Each
non-employee director as of the adoption date of the 2007 Plan was granted an
award of 600 unrestricted shares of the Company's Common Stock. On each July 1
following the adoption date of the 2007 Plan, each non-employee director
shall receive an automatic grant of a number of shares of Company's Common
Stock equal in value to $18,000 based on 100% of the fair market value (as
defined) of the Common Stock on the date of grant, provided he or she holds
such position on that date and the number of shares of Common Stock available
for grant under the 2007 Plan is sufficient to permit such automatic grant. Any
fractional shares resulting from such grant will be rounded up to next highest
whole share. All stock awards to non-employee directors will be fully vested
on the date of grant. The dollar amount of the annual grant is subject to
further adjustment by the Board of Directors upon recommendation by the
Compensation Committee.
-74-
The stock awards granted under the 2007 Plan are shares of unrestricted Common
Stock and are fully vested on the date of grant. The right of the non-employee
director to receive his or her annual grant of Common is personal to the
director and is not transferable. Once received, shares of Common Stock awarded
to the non-employee director are freely transferable subject to any
requirements of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"). On June 28, 2007, Company filed a registration
statement on Form S-8 to register the shares subject to the 2007 Plan and the
Company's two prior stock option plans under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act").
Upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board may, at any time
and from time to time and in any respect, amend or modify the 2007 Plan. The
Board must obtain stockholder approval of any material amendment to the 2007
Plan if required by any applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule. The
Board of Directors may amend the 2007 Plan or any award agreement, which
amendment may be retroactive, in order to conform it to any present or future
law, regulation or ruling relating to plans of this or similar nature. No
amendment or modification of the 2007 Plan or any award agreement may adversely
affect any outstanding award without the written consent of the participant
holding the award.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the four non-employee directors of the
Company, Josef A. Grunwald, Gary N. Jacobs, John C. Love and William J. Nance,
each received a grant of 1,501 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the 2007
Plan.
The Intergroup Corporation 2008 Restricted Stock Unit Plan
On December 3, 2008, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to shareholder
approval, a new equity compensation plan for its officers, directors and key
employees entitled, The InterGroup Corporation 2008 Restricted Stock Unit Plan
(the "RSU Plan"). The RSU Plan was approved and ratified by the shareholders on
February 18, 2009.
The RSU Plan authorizes the Company to issue restricted stock units ("RSUs") as
equity compensation to officers, directors and key employees of the Company on
such terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee of the
Company. RSUs are not actual shares of the Company's common stock, but rather
promises to deliver common stock in the future, subject to certain vesting
requirements and other restrictions as may be determined by the Committee.
Holders of RSUs have no voting rights with respect to the underlying shares of
common stock and holders are not entitled to receive any dividends until the
RSUs vest and the shares are delivered. No awards of RSUs shall vest until at
least six months after shareholder approval of the Plan. Subject to certain
adjustments upon changes in capitalization, a maximum of 200,000 shares of the
common stock are available for issuance to participants under the RSU Plan.
The RSU Plan will terminate ten (10) years from December 3, 2008, unless
terminated sooner by the Board of Directors. After the RSU Plan is terminated,
no awards may be granted but awards previously granted shall remain outstanding
in accordance with the Plan and their applicable terms and conditions.
The shares of common stock to be delivered upon the vesting of an award of RSUs
have been registered under the Securities Act, pursuant to a registration
statement filed on Form S-8 by the Company on June 16, 2010. The grant of RSUs
is personal to the recipient and is not transferable. Once received, shares of
common stock issuable upon the vesting of the RSUs are freely transferable
subject to any requirements of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
-75-
Under the RSU Plan, the Compensation Committee also has the power and authority
to establish and implement an exchange program that would permit the Company to
offer holders of awards issued under prior shareholder approved compensation
plans to exchange certain options for new RSUs on terms and conditions to be
set by the Committee. The exchange program is designed to increase the
retention and motivational value of awards granted under prior plans. In
addition, by exchanging options for RSUs, the Company will reduce the number of
shares of common stock subject to equity awards, thereby reducing potential
dilution to stockholders in the event of significant increases in the value of
its common stock.
Pursuant to an exchange offer authorized by the Compensation Committee, a total
of 2,564 RSUs were issued to four holders of Non-Employee Director stock
options in exchange for a total of 12,000 stock options which were surrendered
to the Company on June 30, 2010. The number of RSUs issued was determined by
multiplying the number of options that were surrendered by the difference
between the exercise price of the options surrendered ($12.00) and the closing
price of the Company's common stock on June 30, 2010 of $15.26, with that
product divided by the closing price of the common stock on June 30, 2010. The
2,564 RSUs issued pursuant to that exchange offer vest on October 1, 2010.
The InterGroup Corporation 2010 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan
On February 24, 2010, the shareholders of the Company approved The Intergroup
Corporation 2010 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan"), which was
formally adopted by the Board of Directors following the annual meeting of
shareholders. The 2010 Plan authorizes a total of up to 200,000 shares of
common stock to be issued as equity compensation to officers and employees of
the Company in an amount and in a manner to be determined by the Compensation
Committee in accordance with the terms of the 2010 Plan. The 2010 Plan
authorizes the awards of several types of equity compensation including stock
options, stock appreciation rights, performance awards and other stock based
compensation. The 2010 Plan will expire on February 23, 2020, if not terminated
sooner by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Compensation
Committee. Any awards issued under the 2010 Plan will expire under the terms of
the grant agreement.
The shares of common stock to be issued under the 2010 Plan have been
registered under the Securities Act, pursuant to a registration statement filed
on Form S-8 by the Company on June 16, 2010. Once received, shares of common
stock issued under the 2010 Plan will be freely transferable subject to any
requirements of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
On March 16, 2010, the Compensation Committee authorized the grant of 100,000
stock options to the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive, John V.
Winfield to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock
pursuant to the 2010 Plan. The exercise price of the options is $10.30, which
equals 100% of the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock as
determined by reference to the closing price of the Company's Common Stock as
reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market on March 16, 2010, the date of grant. The
options expire ten years from the date of grant, unless earlier terminated in
accordance with the terms of the 2010 Plan. The options shall be subject to
both time and performance based vesting requirements, each of which must be
satisfied before options are fully vested and eligible to be exercised.
Pursuant to the time vesting requirements, the options vest over a period of
five years, with 20,000 options vesting upon each one year anniversary of the
-76-
date of grant. Pursuant to the performance vesting requirements, the options
vest in increments of 20,000 shares upon each increase of $2.00 or more in the
market price of the Company's common stock above the exercise price ($10.30) of
the options. To satisfy this requirement, the common stock must trade at that
increased level for a period of at least ten trading days during any one
quarter.
On March 16, 2010, the Compensation Committee also authorized a grant of 5,000
stock options to the Company's Vice President Real Estate, David C. Gonzalez,
to purchase up to 5,000 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the
2010 Plan. The exercise price of the options is $10.30 and the options expire
ten years from the date of grant, unless earlier terminated in accordance with
the terms of the 2010 Plan. The options vest as follows: March 16, 2011 - 2,500
shares; and March 16, 2012 - 2,500 shares.
Change in Controls Provisions in Equity Compensation Plans.
Under the Company's RSU Plan and its 2010 Plan, RSUs, stock options and other
incentive awards may vest upon a change in control of the Company in accordance
with their respective grant agreements. Outstanding unvested RSUs issued to the
Company's CEO and to its Directors will immediately vest upon a change in
control. Outstanding stock options issued to the Company's CEO and to its Vice
President of Real Estate will also immediately vest and become exercisable upon
a change in control. Except for the foregoing, there are no employment
contracts between the Company and its Officers and the Directors or any change
in control arrangements.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and
Director Independence
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 2010 and 2009, 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. The performance
based compensation program was approved by the disinterested members of the
respective Boards of Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. No
performance bonus compensation was paid to Mr. Winfield for the fiscal years
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
Director Independence

NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ"). InterGroup is a Smaller Reporting Company
under the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Board of Directors of
InterGroup currently consists of five members. With the exception of the
Company's President and CEO, John V. Winfield, all of InterGroup's Board of
Directors consists of "independent" directors as independence is defined by the
applicable rules of the SEC and NASDAQ. There are no members of the Company's
