PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
The InterGroup Corporation ("InterGroup" or the "Company") is a Delaware
corporation formed in 1985, as the successor to Mutual Real Estate Investment
Trust ("M-REIT"), a New York real estate investment trust created in 1965.
The Company has been a publicly-held company since M-REIT's first public
offering of shares in 1966 and has been a reporting company pursuant to
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since that time.
The Company was organized to buy, develop, operate, rehabilitate and dispose
of real property of various types and descriptions, and to engage in such
other business and investment activities as would benefit the Company and its
shareholders. The Company was founded upon, and remains committed to, social
responsibility. Such social responsibility was originally defined as
providing decent and affordable housing to people without regard to race. In
1985, after examining the impact of federal, state and local equal housing
laws, the Company determined to broaden its definition of social
responsibility. The Company changed its form from a REIT to a corporation so
that it could pursue a variety of investments beyond real estate and broaden
its social impact to engage in any opportunity which would offer the potential
to increase shareholder value within the Company's underlying commitment to
social responsibility, which it redefined to encompass investments in any area
which can have a socially redeeming value and promote the establishment of a
fair, equal and better society.
The Company's principal sources of revenue have been, and continue to be,
derived from the operations of its multi-family residential properties, from
the sales and disposition of its real property assets, from the operations of
its majority owned subsidiary, Santa Fe Financial Corporation ("Santa Fe"),
and from the investment of its cash and securities assets. Santa Fe is a
public company (OTCBB: SFEF).
BUSINESS OF ISSUER
The Company's principal business is the ownership and management of real
estate. Properties include twenty-two apartment complexes, a hotel, two
commercial real estate properties, and two single-family houses as a strategic
investment. 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 that is held for sale or development.
The Company acquires its investments in real estate and other investments
utilizing cash, securities or debt, subject to approval or guidelines of the
Board of Directors. The Company also invests in income-producing instruments,
equity and debt securities and will consider other investments if such
investments offer growth or profit potential. See Item 2 for a description of
the Company's current investments in real estate and its investment policies
concerning real property and marketable securities.
Through its controlling interest in Santa Fe, the Company's business also
includes a 565-room hotel located in the Financial District of San Francisco,
California. The hotel, commonly known as the Holiday Inn Select Downtown &
Spa (the "Hotel") is owned by Justice Investors, a California limited
partnership ("Justice" or the "Partnership"), of which Santa Fe's subsidiary,
Portsmouth Square Inc. ("Portsmouth") is a 49.8% limited partner and serves as
one of two general partners. Evon Garage Corporation ("Evon") is the other
general partner of Justice and serves as the managing general partner.
-3-
Since 1998, the Hotel had been leased by Justice to Felcor Lodging Trust, Inc.
("Felcor", NYSE: FCH). Pursuant to a settlement agreement with Felcor, that
lease was terminated, effective June 30, 2004, and the Partnership assumed the
role of owner/operator with the assistance of a third party management
company. Historically, the Partnership's most significant source of income
was a lease between Justice and Holiday Inn for the Hotel portion of the
property. That lease was amended in 1995, and ultimately assumed by Felcor
Lodging Trust, Inc. ("Felcor", NYSE: FCH) in 1998. The lease of the Hotel to
Felcor was terminated effective June 30, 2004. The Partnership also derives
income from its lease of the garage portion of the property to Evon and the
lease of approximately 5,400 square feet on the lobby level of the Hotel to
Tru Spa, LLC for the operation of a health and beauty spa. As a general
partner, Portsmouth takes an active role in monitoring and overseeing the
operations of the Hotel, the lease parking garage and the spa.
DOW HOTEL COMPANY MANAGEMNET AGREEMENT
With the termination of the Hotel Lease, Justice assumed the role of an owner
operator of the Hotel on July 1, 2004. To assist with the operations of the
Hotel, On May 19, 2004, Justice entered into a third party Management
Agreement with Dow Hotel Company, LLC, a Washington limited liability company
("Dow") to operate and manage the Hotel as an agent of the Partnership,
effective July 1, 2004. The Management Agreement has an initial term of 10
years, with an option of Justice to extend the original term for another 10
year period. The Management Agreement provides for a base management fee to
Dow of up to 2.5% of annual gross operating revenues of the Hotel and
incentive fees not to exceed, in the aggregate, 4% of gross operating revenues
of the Hotel. The Management Agreement can be terminated by Justice upon at
least 60 days written notice, subject to certain termination fees during the
first year of the Agreement.
HILTON HOTELS FRANCHISE LICENSE AGREEMENT
With the termination of the Hotel Lease to Felcor, the Partnership was able
actively pursue a franchise agreement with a new nationally recognized brand
in an effort to move the Hotel up-market and become more competitive. After
considering and negotiating with several brands, the Partnership entered into
a Franchise License Agreement with Hilton Hotels Corporation (the "Hilton
Franchise Agreement") on December 10, 2004 for the right to operate the Hotel
as a Hilton brand hotel. The terms of the Hilton Franchise Agreement will
commence upon the final approval of the franchise application and the
completion of the approved product improvement plan. The commencement date of
operation as a Hilton hotel can be no later than June 1, 2006. The term of the
Hilton Franchise Agreement is for 15 years commencing on the opening date of
the Hotel, with an option to extend the Agreement for another five years,
subject to certain conditions. Beginning on the opening date, the Partnership
will pay monthly royalty fees of four percent (4%) of the Hotel's gross room
revenue for the preceding calendar month. The amount of the monthly fee is
subject to change; however, the increase cannot exceed one percent of the
Hotel gross room revenue in any calendar year, and the cumulative increases in
the monthly fee will not exceed five percent of gross room revenue.
Prior to operating the Hotel as a Hilton hotel, the Partnership is 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 complying with other brand standards. That
project includes a complete renovation and upgrade of all of the Hotel's
guestrooms, meeting rooms, common areas and restaurant and bar. The
Partnership currently estimates that the cost of the renovation project will
be approximately $34 million. That amount includes approximately $29 million
-4-
for the actual cost of the renovations and approximately $5 million for
construction interest and estimated carrying costs of operations during the
renovation period.
To meet its substantial financial commitments, the Partnership will have to
rely on additional borrowings to meet its obligations. The Partnership
believes that the value of the Hotel property will be adequate to serve as
collateral to secure the necessary financing. That amount of leverage and the
associated debt service will create additional risk for the Partnership and
its ability to generate cash flows in the future since the Hotel asset has
been virtually debt free for many years.
TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF HOTEL FOR RENOVATIONS
On March 15, 2005, the Partnership announced its decision to close down its
Hotel operations effective May 31, 2005 to complete the renovations of the
Hotel as required by the Hilton Franchise Agreement. The Partnership made
this decision because of, among other things, the scope of the work in the
common areas, engineering factors and potential environmental and safety
issues which made it preferable to temporarily close the Hotel portion of the
property. It is anticipated that the Hotel will be closed until the first
part of 2006 before it reopens as the "Hilton San Francisco Financial
District". The below ground parking garage and Tru Spa located on the lobby
level of the Hotel, both of which are lessees of the Partnership, will remain
open during the renovation work.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS - NEW FINANCING
On July 27, 2005, Justice entered into a first mortgage loan (the "Prudential
Loan") with The Prudential Insurance Company of America in a principal amount
of $30,000,000. The term of the Loan is for 120 months at a fixed interest
rate of 5.22% per annum. The Loan calls for monthly installments of principal
and interest in the amount of approximately $165,100, calculated on a 360
month amortization schedule. The Loan is secured by a first deed of trust on
the Partnership's Hotel property, including all improvements and personal
property thereon and an assignment of all present and future leases and rents.
The Loan is without recourse to the limited and general partners of Justice.
On July 27, 2005, Justice also obtained a $10,000,000 Revolving Line of Credit
("LOC") from United Commercial Bank. The term of the LOC is for 60 months at
an annual interest rate equal to either The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate or
LIBOR + 2%, as selected by Justice, and is secured by a second deed of trust
on the Hotel property. Interest only is payable monthly with principal and
accrued interest due at maturity.
From the proceeds of the Prudential Loan, the Partnership retired its existing
line of credit in the approximate amount of $7,436,000, including accrued
interest, and paid off a short term unsecured line of credit from United
Commercial Bank in the amount of $2,007,000, including accrued interest.
Justice believes that the Prudential Loan and the LOC will provide sufficient
financial resources for the Partnership to complete the substantial
renovations to the Hotel required by its Franchise License Agreement with
Hilton. Justice also believes that it will be able to meet is debt service
and operating capital needs through the reopening of the Hotel in the early
part of 2006.

COMPETITION
All of the properties owned by the Company are in areas where there is
substantial competition. However, management believes that its apartments,
hotel, and commercial properties are generally in a competitive position in
their respective communities. The Company intends to continue upgrading and
improving the physical condition of its existing properties and will consider
selling existing properties, which the Company believes have realized their
potential, and re-investing in properties that may require renovation but that
offer greater appreciation potential.
The hotel had traditionally enjoyed a favorable year-round occupancy rate, but
both occupancy and average daily room rates have suffered since fiscal year
ended June 30, 2001. Newer and more upscale properties have opened in or near
the Financial District, which provide greater amenities to its guests, making
it difficult for the Hotel to compete. These competitors are now better
positioned to attract both the business traveler and tourists.
Management believes that the Hotel could not continue to be competitive under
the conditions it operated under while a Holiday Inn Select brand hotel. By
terminating the Hotel Lease with Felcor, and taking over the operations of the
Hotel, the Partnership now has greater ability to direct the future of the
Hotel. The Hotel property is now approximately 25 years old, with no major
renovations having been made to the Hotel property during that time. As
discussed above, the Partnership is committed to make substantial improvements
to almost every area of the Hotel before it reopens in the early part of 2006
as the Hilton San Francisco Financial District. The newly renovated Hotel will
feature among other amenities: totally new guest rooms and suites; a new
concierge lounge and common areas; modern and expanded meeting rooms; a new
ballroom; an exciting, new restaurant and bar; a new fitness center; and the
existing Tru Spa. The Partnership believes that this renovation project,
coupled with the strength of the Hilton brand and reservation system, along
with the hotel management expertise of Dow, will allow the Hotel to compete in
the top levels of its market segment.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 2005, the Company had a total of 12 full-time employees in its
corporate office. Effective July 2002, the Company entered into a client
service agreement with Administaff Companies II, L.P. ("Administaff"), a
professional employer organization serving as an off-site, full service human
resource department for its corporate office. Administaff personnel
management services are delivered by entering into a co-employment
relationship with the Company's employees. There are also approximately 34
employees at the Company's properties outside of the State of California that
are subject to similar co-employment relationships with Administaff. The
employees and the Company are not party to any collective bargaining
agreement, and the Company believes that its employee relations are
satisfactory.

San Francisco, California Hotel.
The San Francisco, California Hotel property owned by the Partnership is
located near the Financial District, one block from the Transamerica Pyramid.
The Embarcadero Center is within walking distance. Chinatown is directly
across the bridge that runs from the hotel to Portsmouth Square Park. The
hotel is a 31-story (including parking garage), steel and concrete, A-frame
building, which contains 565 guest rooms situated on 22 floors as well as a
5,400 square foot Tru Spa health and beauty spa on the lobby level. The third

opinion of management the property is adequately covered by insurance.
As discussed above, the Hotel Lease with Felcor was terminated, effective June
30, 2004, pursuant to the terms of a Settlement Agreement. At that time,
possession and operations of the Hotel reverted to the Partnership. On May
31, 2005, the Hotel portion of the property was temporarily closed for
extensive renovations to meet the requirements of the Hilton Franchise
Agreement. The below ground parking garage and Tru Spa located on the lobby
level of the Hotel, both of which are lessees of the Partnership, will remain
open during the renovation work.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT POLICIES
The most significant investment activity of the Company has been to acquire,
renovate, operate, and when appropriate, sell income-producing real estate.
Through its marketable securities portfolio, the Company has indirectly
invested in additional real estate related investments such as hotels and
office buildings.
The Company is presently looking for new real estate investment opportunities
and plans to continue to concentrate its real estate investments in developed
properties. The acquisition of 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. The Company
plans to borrow funds to leverage its investment capital. The amount of the
mortgage debt will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited
to, the availability of financing and the ability of projected property cash
flows to support its operations and debt service.

MANAGEMENT OF THE PROPERTIES
The Company may engage third party management companies as agents to manage
certain of Company's residential rental properties. Effective May 1, 2005, the
Company entered into third party management agreements (the "Agreements") with
Morrison, Ekre & Bart Management Services, Inc. ("MEB") for property
management services for five of its Texas apartment complexes, which are
located in Austin, Irving and San Antonio. The Agreements provide for a
management fee equal to two and one-half percent of the gross monthly receipts
of each property and are for a term of two years, but can be terminated by
either party upon thirty days written notice. Should the Company elect to
terminate any of the Agreements, prior to the two year term, it would be
obligated to pay to MEB a sum equal to a one month management fee. Subsequent
to year end, the MEB Agreements were terminated on August 31, 2005, at which
time the Company resumed direct management of those Texas properties.
Effective August 1, 2005, the Company entered into a Management Agreement with
Century West Properties, Inc. ("Century West") to act as an agent of the
Company to rent and manage all of the Company's residential rental properties
in the Los Angeles, California area. The Management Agreement with Century
-12-
West is for a term of twelve months ending on July 31, 2006 and will continue
thereafter on a month-to-month basis, unless terminated upon 30 days prior
written notice. The Management Agreements provide for a monthly fee equal to
4% of the monthly gross receipts from the properties with resident managers
and a fee of 4 1/2% of monthly gross receipts for properties without resident
mangers. Century West is also entitled to reimbursement of any actual
operating and maintenance costs advanced on behalf of the Company and is
entitled to a fee of 5% for overhead and supervision of major improvements and
a charge of 10% of the direct costs for overhead/supervision of a major
remodeling project.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES INVESTMENT POLICIES
In addition to real estate, the Company also invests from time to time in
income producing instruments, corporate debt and equity securities, mortgage
backed securities, securities issued by REIT's and other companies which
invest primarily in real estate.
The Company's securities investments are made under the supervision of a
Securities Investment Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee
currently has three members and is chaired by the Company's Chairman of the
Board and President, John V. Winfield. The Committee has delegated authority
to manage the portfolio to the Company's Chairman and President together with
such assistants and management committees he may engage. The Committee has
established investment guidelines for the Company's investments. These
guidelines presently include: (i) corporate equity securities should be listed
on the New York or American Stock Exchanges or the Nasdaq NMS Market; (ii)
securities should be priced above $5.00 per share; and (iii) investment in a
particular issuer should not exceed 5% of the market value of the total
portfolio. The investment policies do not require the Company to divest itself
of investments, which initially meet these guidelines but subsequently fail to
meet one or more of the investment criteria. Non-conforming investments
require the approval of the Securities Investment Committee. The Committee
has in the past approved non-conforming investments and may in the future
approve non-conforming investments. The Securities investment Committee may
modify these guidelines from time to time.
The Company's investment portfolio is diversified with 63 different equity
securities. The Company has four individual positions that comprise more than
5% of the equity value of the portfolio with the largest being 15.3% of the
value of the portfolio. The amount of the Company's investment in any
particular issue may increase or decrease, and additions or reductions to its
securities portfolio may occur, at any time. While it is the internal policy
of the Company to limit its initial investment in any single equity to less
than 5% of its total portfolio value, that investment could eventually exceed
5% as a result of equity appreciation or reductions in other positions.
Marketable securities are stated at market value as determined by the most
recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. As of June
30, 2005, the market value of the Company's marketable securities was
$24,033,000.
The Company may also invest, with the approval of the Securities Investment
Committee, in unlisted companies, through private placements. Those
investments in non-marketable securities are carried at cost on the Company's
balance sheet as part of other investments and are reviewed for impairment on
a periodic basis.
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
-13-
activities or to provide additional return opportunities. As of June 30,
2005, the Company had obligations for securities sold (equities short) of
$5,257,000 and had no naked short positions.
In addition, the Company may utilize margin for its marketable securities
purchases through the use of standard margin agreements with national
brokerage firms. The use of available leverage is guided by the business
judgment of management and is subject to any internal investment guidelines,
which may be imposed by the Securities Investment Committee. The margin used
by the Company may fluctuate depending on market conditions. The use of
leverage could be viewed as risky and the market values of the portfolio may
be subject to large fluctuations. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had a
margin balance of $6,726,000 and incurred $904,000 and $1,437,000 in margin
interest expense during the year ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004,
respectively.
On July 18, 2003, the disinterested members of the respective Boards of
Directors of the Company's subsidiary, Santa Fe and Santa Fe's subsidiary,
Portsmouth, established a performance based compensation program for the
Company's CEO, John V. Winfield, to keep and retain his services as a direct
and active manager of the securities portfolios of those companies. On
January 12, 2004, the disinterested members of the Securities Investment
Committee of InterGroup also established a performance based compensation
program for Mr. Winfield, which was ratified by the Board of Directors. The
terms of that compensation arrangement is discussed in detail in Item 10
"Executive Compensation" of this Report. During fiscal years ended June 30,
2005 and June 30, 2004, the Company and its subsidiaries paid $320,000 and
$2,077,000 respectively, to the Company's CEO as performance based
compensation related to the management of the securities portfolios.
As Chairman of the Securities Investment Committee, the Company's President
and Chief Executive officer, John V. Winfield, directs the investment activity
of the Company in public and private markets pursuant to authority granted by
the Board of Directors. Mr. Winfield also serves as Chief Executive Officer
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.

The Company is not subject to any legal proceedings requiring disclosure under

Item 6. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.
INTRODUCTION
The discussion below and elsewhere in the Report includes forward-looking
statements about the future business results and activities of the Company,
which, by their very nature, involve a number of risks and uncertainties. When
used in this discussion, the words "estimate", "project", "anticipate" and
similar expressions, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, such as
the impact of terrorism and war on the national and international economies,
including tourism and the securities markets, changes in general economic
conditions, local real estate markets, and competition, as well as
uncertainties relating to uninsured losses, securities markets, and
litigation, including those discussed below that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those projected. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no
obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to those forward-
looking statements, which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after
the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In August 2005, the Company sold its 112-unit apartment complex located in
Austin, Texas for $4,400,000.
On July 27, 2005, Justice entered into a first mortgage loan (the "Prudential
Loan") with The Prudential Insurance Company of America in a principal amount
of $30,000,000. The term of the Loan is for 120 months at a fixed interest
rate of 5.22% per annum. The Loan calls for monthly installments of principal
and interest in the amount of approximately $165,100, calculated on a 360
month amortization schedule. The Loan is secured by a first deed of trust on
the Partnership's Hotel property, including all improvements and personal
property thereon and an assignment of all present and future leases and rents.
The Loan is without recourse to the limited and general partners of Justice.
On July 27, 2005, Justice also obtained a $10,000,000 Revolving Line of Credit
("LOC") from United Commercial Bank. The term of the LOC is for 60 months at
an annual interest rate equal to either The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate or
LIBOR + 2%, as selected by Justice, and is secured by a second deed of trust
on the Hotel property. Interest only is payable monthly with principal and
accrued interest due at maturity.
From the proceeds of the Prudential Loan, the Partnership retired its existing
line of credit in the approximate amount of $7,436,000, including accrued
interest, and paid off a short term unsecured line of credit from United
Commercial Bank in the amount of $2,007,000, including accrued interest.
Justice believes that the Prudential Loan and the LOC will provide sufficient
financial resources for the Partnership to complete the substantial
renovations to the Hotel required by its Franchise License Agreement with
Hilton. Justice also believes that it will be able to meet is debt service
and operating capital needs through the reopening of the Hotel in the early
part of 2006.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2005 as compared to June 30, 2004.
The Company had a net loss of $3,128,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005
compared to net income of $3,071,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004. The
significant change is primarily attributable to the change in net investment
gains(losses) from marketable securities, the change in the equity in net
income(loss) of Justice Investors and the increase in the loss from real
estate operations. These changes were partially offset by the gain on sale of
real estate in the current fiscal year, the decrease in margin interest and
trading expenses, the reduction in the impairment loss on other investments,
the decrease in general and administrative expenses, the change in the tax
provision from a tax expense to a tax benefit and the change in the minority
interest.
The loss from real estate operations increased to $1,723,000 for the year
ended June 30, 2005 from $1,183,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004 primarily
due to the increase in the amortization of the intangible asset to $555,000
from $111,000, the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $160,000 recognized
in the current year partially offset by the overall decrease in operating
expenses as a percentage of rental income to 42% from 46%. Rental income
increased to $12,966,000 from $9,926,000 due the inclusion of a full year's of
rental income from the 358-unit Las Colinas, Texas property purchased in April
2004. The increase in the amortization of the intangible asset to $555,000
from $111,000 is due to the 10 months of amortization expense recorded in the
current year as compared to 2 months recorded in the comparable prior year.
This intangible asset was acquired along with the purchase of the Las Colinas,
Texas property. The $160,000 loss on early termination of debt in the
current year is related to the early pay-off of a $1,182,000 mortgage on the
Company's 54-unit property located in Irving, Texas in August 2004. The
increase in the mortgage interest and depreciation expenses is the result of
the full year operation of the Las Colinas, Texas property in the current
year. These expenses as a percentage of rental income are consistent with the
prior year. Real estate taxes increased as a percentage of income to 15% from
10% as the result of the recent purchase of the Las Colinas, Texas property.
Properties purchased recently have higher taxable basis the purposes of
calculating real estate taxes as compared to older properties.
In September 2004, the Company sold its 442-unit multi-family apartment
complex located in Houston, Texas for $11,850,000. The Company realized a
gain on sale of real estate of $6,006,000. This gain is reported under
discontinued operations on the statement of operations.
Equity in net income(loss) of Justice Investors changed to a loss of
$2,303,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005 compared to income of $3,136,000
for the year ended June 30, 2004. Effective July 1, 2004, Justice became the
owner operator of the Hotel rather than a lessor. Thus, Partnership net income
for fiscal 2005 includes the direct operating results of the Hotel, whereas in
the prior year Justice received rental income from Felcor pursuant to a lease.
The net operating loss from the hotel for fiscal 2005 was approximately
$1,734,000, while the Partnership received approximately $2,617,000 in rent
from the Hotel lease in fiscal 2004. Also, during fiscal 2004, a $5,000,000
settlement payment was made to Justice from the Hotel lessee to resolve
disputes regarding certain obligations of Felcor and others under the terms of
the Hotel Lease. In addition, Justice received a payment in December 2003 from
the hotel lessee in the amount $296,000 for part of the replacement costs of
the sloped window system of the Hotel. Those two nonrecurring payments were
included as other income by Justice in fiscal 2004.
-18-
During fiscal 2005, the Justice also recorded a $1,991,000 loss on disposition
of assets as the Hotel was closed for major renovations on May 31, 2005. It is
anticipated that the Hotel will be closed until the first part of calendar
year 2006 before it reopens as the "Hilton San Francisco Financial District".
The below ground parking garage and Tru Spa located on the lobby level of the
Hotel, both of which are lessees of the Partnership, will remain open during
the renovation work. Partnership rental income from the parking garage
decreased to approximately $1,005,000 in fiscal 2005 from approximately
$1,274,000 in fiscal 2004, primarily due to the closure of the Hotel for the
last month of the fiscal year and lower Hotel occupancy rates in fiscal 2005.
A further drop off in garage rental income is expected while the Hotel is
being renovated, with an anticipated increase in garage rental income after
the Hotel reopens as a Hilton.
Net investment gains(losses) on marketable securities changed to net losses of
$4,874,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005 from net gains of $13,722,000 for
the year ended June 30, 2004 as result of the significant decline in the
market value of the Company's investment portfolio during the current year.
For the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company had net unrealized losses of
$7,734,000 and net realized gains of $2,860,000. For the year ended June 30,
2004, the Company had net unrealized gains of $4,181,000 and realized gains of
$9,541,000. Gains and losses on marketable securities and other investments
may fluctuate significantly from period to period in the future and could have
a significant impact on the Company's net income. However, the amount of gain
or loss on marketable securities and other investments for any given period
may have no predictive value and variations in amount from period to period
may have no analytical value. For a more detailed description of the
composition of the Company's marketable securities please see the Marketable
Securities section below.
During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company recorded impairment losses
of $740,000 on other investments that were considered permanently impaired.
In the comaparable year, the Company recorded a impairment losses of
$1,155,000 related to other investments. These investments were determined to
be impaired after review of their most recent financial statements and news
releases.
Margin interest and trading expenses decreased to $2,657,000 from $4,629,000
primarily due to the decrease in the performance bonus granted to the
Company's CEO based on the results of the Company's investment portfolio and
the decrease in margin interest expense. During the year ended June 30, 2005,
the CEO earned a performance bonus of $320,000 compared with $2,077,000 in the
prior year. Margin interest expense also decreased to $904,000 from
$1,437,000 in the prior year.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $1,460,000 from $1,892,000 as
the result of management's effort to cut expenses across the board by reducing
administrative staff. accounting related expenses and other general and
administrative expenses.
The provision for income tax expense changed to a net tax benefit of
$2,668,000 from a net tax expense of $3,515,000 as the result of the
significant before tax loss of $7,239,000 incurred in the current year as
compared to the significant pretax income of $8,407,000 generated in the prior
year.
Minority interest expense(benefit) changed to a benefit of $1,443,000 from an

earned in the prior comparable year.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company's securities investments are made under the supervision of a
Securities Investment Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee
currently has three members and is chaired by the Company's Chairman of the
Board and President, John V. Winfield. The Committee has delegated authority
to manage the portfolio to the Company's Chairman and President together with
such assistants and management committees he may engage. The Committee has
established investment guidelines for the Company's investments. These
guidelines presently include: (i) corporate equity securities should be listed
on the New York or American Stock Exchanges or the Nasdaq NMS Market; (ii)
securities should be priced above $5.00 per share; and (iii) investment in a
particular issuer should not exceed 5% of the market value of the total
portfolio. The investment policies do not require the Company to divest itself
of investments, which initially meet these guidelines but subsequently fail to
meet one or more of the investment criteria. Non-conforming investments
require the approval of the Securities Investment Committee. The Committee
has in the past approved non-conforming investments and may in the future
approve non-conforming investments. The Securities investment Committee may
modify these guidelines from time to time.
The Company's investment portfolio is diversified with 63 different equity
securities. The Company has four individual positions that comprise more than
5% of the equity value of the portfolio with the largest being 15.3% of the
value of the portfolio. The amount of the Company's investment in any
particular issue may increase or decrease, and additions or reductions to its
securities portfolio may occur, at any time. While it is the internal policy
of the Company to limit its initial investment in any single equity to less
than 5% of its total portfolio value, that investment could eventually exceed
5% as a result of equity appreciation or reductions in other positions.
Marketable securities are stated at market value as determined by the most
recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. As of June
30, 2005, the market value of the Company's marketable securities was
$24,033,000.
The Company may also invest, with the approval of the Securities Investment
Committee, in unlisted companies, through private placements. Those
investments in non-marketable securities are carried at cost on the Company's
balance sheet as part of other investments and are reviewed for impairment on
a periodic basis.
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,
2005, the Company had obligations for securities sold (equities short) of
$5,257,000 and had no naked short positions.
In addition, the Company may utilize margin for its marketable securities
purchases through the use of standard margin agreements with national
brokerage firms. The use of available leverage is guided by the business
judgment of management and is subject to any internal investment guidelines,
which may be imposed by the Securities Investment Committee. The margin used
by the Company may fluctuate depending on market conditions. The use of
leverage could be viewed as risky and the market values of the portfolio may
be subject to large fluctuations. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had a
margin balance of $6,726,000 and incurred $904,000 and $1,437,000 in margin
interest expense during the year ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004,
respectively.

============ ============
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
The Company's cash flows are generated primarily from its real estate
activities, sales of investment securities and borrowings related to both.
The Company generated cash flow of $3,929,000 from operating activities,
generated net cash flow of $5,188,000 from investing activities, and used net
cash flow of $9,026,000 for financing activities during the year ended June
30, 2005.
In September 2004, the Company sold its 442-unit multi-family apartment
complex located in Houston, Texas for $11,850,000. The Company realized a
gain of $6,006,000 and received net proceeds of $11,273,000 after selling
costs and attorneys' fees. As a part of the sale of property, the Company paid
off the related mortgage loan in the amount of $9,864,000.
In August 2004, the Company purchased an approximately two acre parcel of
unimproved land in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii for $1,467,000. The land is included
property held for development on the balance sheet. To facilitate the
purchase of the land, the Company obtained a loan in the amount of $750,000.
The loan is for a term of three years at a floating interest rate equal to the
bank's base rate (4.75% as of June 30, 2005) plus 1%. Interest only is
payable monthly.
-21-
During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company improved properties in the
aggregate amount of $2,922,000. 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.
During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company purchased 48,400 shares of
Portsmouth stock for a total investment of $1,499,000.
During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company purchased 20,268 shares of
Santa Fe stock for a total investment of $197,000.
During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company had new borrowings in the
form of mortgages totaling $6,703,000 and made principal payments on mortgages
totaling $16,002,000. The Company also borrowed from a line of credit in the
amount of $1,313,000.
In June 2005, the Company refinanced a loan in the amount of $4,006,000 on its
157-unit Florence, Kentucky property and obtained a new mortgage in the amount
of $4,200,000. The loan is a 10 year fixed rate loan at 4.995%.
During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company used additional construction
loan proceeds of $1,753,000 renovate its 30-unit apartment located in Los
Angeles, California. As of June 30, 2005, the balance on the construction
loan was $5,133,000.
In August 2004, the Company repaid a mortgage in the amount of $1,182,000 on
its 54-unit multi-family apartment located in Irving, Texas. Related to the
repayment of the mortgage, the Company incurred an early termination fee of
$160,000.
The Company's Board of Directors has given the Company the authority to
repurchase, from time to time, shares of its Common Stock. Such repurchases
may be made at the discretion of management and depending upon market
conditions. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company acquired an
additional 76,500 shares of its Common Stock for $1,040,000. Approximately
96,000 shares remain eligible for the Company to repurchase under that
authorization.
Subsequent to the fiscal year end, Justice entered into a first mortgage loan
(the "Prudential Loan") with The Prudential Insurance Company of America in a
principal amount of $30,000,000 on July 27, 2005. The term of the Loan is for
120 months at a fixed interest rate of 5.22% per annum. The Loan calls for
monthly installments of principal and interest in the amount of approximately
$165,100, calculated on a 360 month amortization schedule. The Loan is secured
by a first deed of trust on the Partnership's Hotel property, including all
improvements and personal property thereon and an assignment of all present
and future leases and rents. The Loan is without recourse to the limited and
general partners of Justice.
On July 27, 2005, Justice also obtained a $10,000,000 Revolving Line of Credit
("LOC") from United Commercial Bank. The term of the LOC is for 60 months at
an annual interest rate equal to either The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate or
LIBOR + 2%, as selected by Justice, and is secured by a second deed of trust
on the Hotel property. Interest only is payable monthly with principal and
accrued interest due at maturity.
From the proceeds of the Prudential Loan, the Partnership retired its existing
line of credit in the approximate amount of $7,436,000, including accrued
-22-
interest, and paid off a short term unsecured line of credit from United
Commercial Bank in the amount of $2,007,000, including accrued interest.
The Justice believes that the Prudential Loan and the LOC will provide
sufficient financial resources for the Partnership to complete the substantial
renovations to the Hotel required by its Franchise License Agreement with
Hilton. Justice also believes it will be able to meet is debt service and
operating capital needs through the reopening of the Hotel in the early part
of 2006.
That additional amount of leverage related to the Prudential Loan and the
utilization of the LOC and the associated debt service will create additional
risk for the Partnership and its ability to generate cash flows in the future
since the Hotel asset has been virtually debt free for many years. The
Partnership does not anticipate paying any partnership distributions until
some time after operations commence under the Hilton brand and net income and
capital requirements warrant such distributions. As a result, the Company may
have to depend more on the revenues generated from the investment of its cash
and securities assets during that transition period.
Management anticipates that the net cash flow generated from future operating
activities will be sufficient to meet its operating and long-term debt service
requirements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has no off balance sheet arrangements.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The Company's contractual obligations and commercial commitments are its
mortgages. The annual principal payments on the mortgages for the five-year
period and thereafter commencing July 1, 2005 are approximately as follows:
Year ending June 30,
2006 $ 6,256,000
2007 1,192,000
2008 2,015,000
2009 1,301,000
2010 1,296,000
Thereafter 68,372,000
-----------
Total $80,432,000
===========
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The Company's residential and commercial rental properties provide income from
short-term operating leases and no lease extends beyond one year. Rental
increases are expected to offset anticipated increased property operating
expenses.
The Company's revenue from its interest in Justice Investors is primarily
dependent on hotel revenues. Hotel room rates are typically impacted by
supply and demand factors, not inflation, because rental of a hotel room is
usually for a limited number of nights. Room rates are usually adjusted to
account for inflationary cost increases; therefore, the impact of inflation
should be minimal.
-23-
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company reviews its long-lived assets including its investment in real
estate and other investments for impairment when circumstances indicate that a
potential loss in carrying value may have occurred. To the extent that
projected future undiscounted cash flows from the operation of the hotel
property, owned through the Company's investment in Justice Investors, and
rental properties are less than the carrying value of the assets, the carrying
value of the assets are reduced to their fair value. For other investments,
the Company reviews the investment's operating results, financial position and
other relevant factors to determine whether the estimated fair value of the
asset is less than the carrying value of the asset.
In March 2004, the EITF ratified its consensus on Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning
of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments
(EITF 03-1). On September 30, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Board
(FASB) issued a final FASB Staff Position, FSP EITF Issue 03-1-1 that delays
the effective date for the measurement and recognition guidance included in
EITF 03-1. Disclosures required by EITF 03-1 have not been deferred and the
Company has adopted those disclosures.
Marketable securities are stated at market value as determined by the most
recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. Marketable
securities are classified as trading with net change in unrealized gains or
losses included in earnings. The Company's other accounting policies are
straightforward in their application.

THE INTERGROUP CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Business and Significant Accounting Policies and Practices:
Description of the Business
The InterGroup Corporation ("InterGroup" or the "Company") was formed to buy,
develop, operate and dispose of real property and to engage in various
investment activities to benefit the Company and its shareholders.
As of June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company had the power to vote 76.9% and
75.2%, respectively, of the voting shares of Santa Fe Financial Corporation
("Santa Fe"), a public company (OTCBB: SFEF). Those percentages include the
power to vote an approximately 4% interest in the common stock in Santa Fe
owned by the Company's Chairman and President pursuant to a voting trust
agreement entered into on June 30, 1998.
Santa Fe's revenue is primarily generated through the management of its 68.8%
owned subsidiary, Portsmouth Square, Inc. ("Portsmouth"), a public company
(OTCBB: PRSI), which derives its revenue primarily as a general partner and a
49.8% limited partner in Justice Investors, a California limited partnership
("Justice" or the "Partnership"). Justice owns the land, improvements and
leaseholds commonly known as the Holiday Inn Select Downtown & Spa, a 565-room
hotel in San Francisco, California (the "Hotel").
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
all controlled subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and
balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment in Real Estate
Investments in real estate are stated at cost. Depreciation of buildings,
improvements and equipment is provided on the straight-line method based upon
estimated useful lives of five to forty years for buildings and improvements
and five to ten years for equipment. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance
are charged to expense as incurred and improvements are capitalized.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS
144), "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the
Company reviews its rental property assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. If expected future cash flows (undiscounted and excluding
interest costs) are less than the carrying value of the rental asset, the
asset is written down to its fair value. The estimation of expected future
net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies to a considerable extent on
assumptions regarding current and future economic and market conditions, and
-30-
the availability of capital. If, in future periods, there are changes in the
estimates or assumptions incorporated into the impairment review analysis, the
changes could result in an adjustment to the carrying amount of the long-lived
asset. No impairment losses have been recorded for the year ended June 30,
2005 and 2004.
Properties are classified as held for sale when management commits to a plan
to sell the asset, the asset is available for immediate sale, an active
program to locate a buyer has been initiated, the sale of the asset is
probable, the sale of the asset is actively marketed and it is unlikely that
significant changes to the sale plan will be made or withdrawn. As of June
30, 2005, the Company had six properties classified as held for sale.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less when purchased and are carried at cost, which
approximates fair value.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is comprised of amounts held by lenders for payment of real
estate taxes, insurance, replacement reserves for the operating properties and
tenant security deposits that are invested in certificates of deposit.
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are stated at market value as determined by the most
recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. Marketable
securities are classified as trading securities with all unrealized gains and
losses on the Company's investment portfolio recorded through the statement of
operations.
Other Investments
The Company may also invest, with the approval of the Securities Investment
Committee, in unlisted companies, through private placements. Those
investments in non-marketable securities are carried at the lower of cost or
estimated fair value on the Company's balance sheet as part of other
investments and reviewed for impairment on a periodic basis.
Due to Securities Broker
The Company may utilize margin for its marketable securities purchases through
the use of standard margin agreements with national brokerage firms. Various
securities brokers have advanced funds to the Company for the purchase of
marketable securities under standard margin agreements. These advanced funds
are recorded as a liability.
Obligation for Securities Sold
Obligation for securities sold represents the fair market value of shares sold
with the promise to deliver that security at some future date and the fair
market value of shares underlying the written call options with the obligation
to deliver that security when and if the option is exercised. The obligation
may be satisfied with current holdings of the same security or by subsequent
purchases of that security. Unrealized gains and losses from changes in the
obligation are included in earnings.
-31-
Treasury Stock
The Company records the acquisition of treasury stock under the cost method.
Rental Income
Rental income is recognized as earned. Revenue recognition from apartment
rentals commences when an apartment unit is placed in service and occupied by
a rent-paying tenant. Apartment units are leased on a short-term basis, with
no lease extending beyond one year.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method. A deferred
tax asset or liability is determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured by
statutory tax rates. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in the
asset and/or liability for deferred taxes.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable
securities, other investments, mortgage notes payable, amounts due securities
brokers and obligations for securities sold approximates fair value. The fair
value of mortgage notes payable is estimated using discounted cash flows of
future payments based on the borrowing rates available to the Company for debt
with similar terms and maturities.
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Effective December 15, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-
Transition and Disclosure", which amends Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 148). In
accounting for its plans, the Company, as allowable under the provisions of
SFAS 148, applies Accounting Principles Board Opinions No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock issued to Employees." As a result of this election, the Company does not
recognize compensation expense for its stock option plans. For options issued
in fiscal years 2005 and 2004, options are vested as of the grant date. Had
the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value for its stock
options at grant date (based on 16,500 and 15,000 in fiscal years 2005 and
2004, respectively), net income(loss) and earnings(loss) per share would have
been reduced to the pro forma amounts as follows:
2005 2004
----------- ----------
Net income(loss) $(3,128,000) $ 3,071,000
Stock based employee
Compensation expense* (77,000) (64,000)
---------- ----------
Pro forma net income(loss) $(3,205,000) $ 3,007,000
Earnings(loss) per share
Basic as reported $ (1.27) $ 1.22
Basic pro forma $ (1.31) $ 1.19
Diluted as reported $ (1.27) $ 1.08
Diluted pro forma $ (1.31) $ 1.06
*Determined under fair value based on method for awards net of related tax
effects (40%).
-32-
The difference between the net income as reported and the pro forma net income
is due to subtraction of the fair market value(net of tax effect) of the
vested stock options of $129,000 and $107,000, respectively, for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used with the following weighted-
average assumptions for 2005; risk-free interest rate of 3.87%; dividend yield
of 0%; expected Common Stock market price volatility factor of 24.60; and a
weighted-average expected life of the options of 10 years. The weighted-
average fair value of options granted in fiscal years 2005 and 2004 were $7.83
and $7.12 per share, respectively. The aggregate fair value of the options
granted in fiscal years 2005 and 2004 were $129,000 and $107,000 respectively.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the
computation of basic earnings per share except that the weighted-average
number of common shares is increased to include the number of additional
common shares that would have been outstanding if potential dilutive common
shares had been issued. The Company's only potentially dilutive common shares
are stock options. Stock options are included in diluted earnings per share
by application of the treasury stock method. As of June 30, 2005, the Company
had 367,500 stock options that were considered potentially dilutive common
shares and 25,500 stock options that were considered anti-dilutive. These
amounts were included in the calculation for diluted earnings per share.
2. Investment in Real Estate:
At June 30, 2005, the Company's investment in real estate consisted of twenty
six properties located throughout the United States. These properties include
twenty two apartment complexes, two single-family houses as strategic
investments, and two commercial real estate properties, one of which serves as
the Company's corporate headquarters. Twenty one of the twenty two apartment
complexes are completed, operating properties. The one non-operating
apartment complex is undergoing a major renovation.
In September 2004, the Company sold its 442-unit multi-family apartment
complex located in Houston, Texas for $11,850,000. The Company realized a
gain of $6,006,000 and received net proceeds of $11,273,000 after selling
costs and attorneys' fees.
Under the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No.144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, for
properties disposed of during the year or for properties for which the Company
actively markets for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its
market value, the properties are required to be classified as held for sale on
the balance sheet and accounted for under discontinued operations in the
statement of operations. The revenues and expenses from the operation of
these properties have been reclassified from continuing operations for the
year ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and reported as income from discontinued
operations in the consolidated statements of operations.
-33-
As of June 30, 2005, the Company had six properties held for sale, two of the
properties are located in Texas and the remaining four are located in
California. The two Texas properties were sold in September 2004 and August
2005, respectively. The revenues and expenses from the operation for these
six properties have been reclassified from continuing operations for the year
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and reported as income from discontinued
operations in the consolidated statements of operations.
Revenues and expenses from the operation of these properties for the year
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are summarized as follows:
For the year ended June 30, 2005 2004
---------- ----------
Revenues $1,728,000 $ 3,831,000
Expenses (2,342,000) (4,343,000)
---------- ----------
Net loss (614,000) (512,000)
========== ==========
Depreciation expense for the year ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, was $443,000
and $893,000, respectively.
In August 2004, the Company purchased an approximately two acre parcel of
unimproved land in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii for $1,467,000. The land is included
property held for development on the balance sheet.
In April 2004, the Company purchased a 358-unit apartment complex in Los
Colinas, Texas for $27,145,000 in a tax-deferred exchange with the St. Louis,
Missouri property sold in August 2001. To finance the purchase, the Company
obtained a nine year $20,000,000 mortgage note. In accordance with SFAS 141,
"Business Combinations," the acquisition value was allocated to the land and
building utilizing an "as if vacant" methodology, with the balance of the
purchase price allocated to identifiable intangible assets. Identifiable
intangible assets relate to the value of the in-place operating leases and
comprise: (i) origination value, which represents the "cost avoidance" value
associated with acquired in-place leases; and (ii) value of the renewal of in-
place leases, which represents the estimated loss of revenue and costs
incurred to renew the operating leases following its expiration. The
origination value and the value of the renewal of in-place tenant leases are
recorded as a deferred charge and are amortized over the remaining lease term
of twelve months.
Based on this valuation, the purchase price and closing costs were allocated
as follows:
Land $ 4,050,000
Building 22,429,000
Intangible asset - origination costs 206,000
Intangible asset - renewal lease-up costs 460,000
----------
$27,145,000
==========
During the year ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded an
amortization expense associated with these intangible assets in the amount of
$555,000 and $111,000, respectively.
-34-
3. Marketable Securities and Other Investments:
At June 30, 2005, all of the Company's marketable securities are classified as
trading securities. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," the change in the unrealized gains
and losses on these investments are included earnings. Trading securities are
summarized as follows:
As of June 30, 2005
Gross Gross Net Market
Investment Cost Unrealized Gain Unrealized Loss Unrealized Gain Value
---------- ----------- --------------- --------------- --------------- ------------
Corporate
Equities $21,701,000 $3,991,000 ($1,659,000) $2,332,000 $24,033,000
Of the gross unrealized loss of $1,659,000, $1,291,000 of the loss is related
to securities held for over one year.
As of June 30, 2005, the Company had net other investments of $2,168,000.
This balance includes $4,063,000 in other investment, net an impairment loss
of $1,895,000. Included in the prepaid expenses and other assets of
$4,035,000 are other investments of $2,168,000.
As part of the 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,
2005, the Company had obligations for securities sold (equities short) of
$5,257,000 and had no naked short positions.
For the year ended June 30, 2005, net losses on marketable securities of
$4,874,000 included net unrealized losses of $7,734,000 and net realized gains
of $2,860,000. For the year ended June 30, 2004, net investment gains of
$13,722,000 included net unrealized gains of $4,181,000 and net realized gains
of $9,541,000.
4. Investment in Justice Investors:
The consolidated accounts include a 49.8% interest in Justice Investors
through the Company's interest in Santa Fe. Justice owns the land
improvements and leasehold commonly known as the Holiday Inn Select Downtown &
Spa, a 565-room hotel in the financial district of San Francisco, California.
Portsmouth is both a general and limited partner in Justice and oversees
operations and shares management responsibilities with the other general
partner. Portsmouth records its investment in Justice on the equity basis.
The Company amortizes the step up in the asset values which represents the
access purchase price over the underlying book value and is allocable to the
depreciable assets of its investment in Justice Investors over 40 years, which
approximates the remaining life of the primary asset, the hotel building.
For the Company's investment in Justice, to the extent that projected future
undiscounted cash flows from the operation of the Hotel property are less than
the carrying value of the asset, the investment would be considered
permanently impaired and the carrying value of the asset would be reduced to
its fair value.
Historically, Justice's most significant income source was a lease between the
Partnership and Felcor Lodging Trust, Inc. ("Felcor") for the Hotel portion of
the property. Pursuant to a Settlement Agreement entered into on May 3, 2004,
-35-
Felcor agreed to terminate its lease and surrender possession of the Hotel to
Justice, on June 30, 2004. Effective July 1, 2004, Justice became the owner-
operator of the Hotel, with the assistance of a Management Agreement with Dow
Hotel Company, LLC. ("Dow") to perform the day-to day management functions of
the Hotel. The Partnership also derives income from the lease of the garage
portion of the property to Evon and from a lease on the lobby level of the
Hotel to Tru Spa. The Company also derives revenue from management fees from
Justice for actively managing the hotel as a general partner.
On December 10, 2004, Justice entered into a Franchise License Agreement for
the right to operate the Hotel property as a Hilton brand hotel. Prior to
operating the hotel as a Hilton, the Partnership is required to make
substantial renovations to the hotel to meet Hilton standards in accordance
with a product improvement plan agreed upon by Hilton and the Partnership, as
well as complying with other brand standards. The Partnership currently
estimates that the cost of the renovation project will be approximately $33
million. That amount includes approximately $28 million for the actual cost
of the renovations and approximately $5 million for construction interest and
estimated carrying costs of operations during the renovation period.
The Agreement requires that those renovations be complete and the
Hotel commence operations as a Hilton hotel no later than June 1,
2006. The term of the Agreement is for a period of 15 years commencing on
the opening date, with an option to extend the license term for another five
years, subject to certain conditions.
On March 15, 2005, the Partnership announced its decision to close down its
Hotel operations on or about June 1, 2005 to complete renovations of the Hotel
as required by the Hilton Agreement. It is anticipated that the Hotel will be
closed for a period of approximately seven to nine months before a
contemplated reopening in the early part of 2006 as the "Hilton San Francisco
Financial District". The below ground parking garage and Tru Spa located on
the lobby level of the Hotel, both of which are lessees of the Partnership,
will remain open during the renovation work.

13. Related Party Transactions:
Gary N. Jacobs, a Director of the Company, is of Counsel to the law firm of
Christensen, Miller, Fink, Jacobs, Glaser, Weil & Shapiro, LLP. Through May
31, 2000 he was a senior partner of said firm, which provides legal services
to the Company when needed. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company
made payments of approximately $44,000 to Christensen, Miller, Fink, Jacobs,
Glaser, Weil & Shapiro, LLP, $38,000 of which was incurred in fiscal 2004.
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.
On July 18, 2003, the Company's subsidiaries 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.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, Mr. Winfield received, in
the aggregate, performance based compensation in the amounts of $320,000 and
$2,077,000, respectively. Of the total amount of the bonus for fiscal 2005,
$57,000 was paid by Santa Fe and $4,000 was paid by Portsmouth. For fiscal
2004, $211,000 was paid by Santa Fe and $407,000 was paid by Portsmouth. The
performance based compensation was approved by the disinterested members of
the respective Boards of Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries.
14. Subsequent Events:
In August 2005, the Company sold its 112-unit apartment complex located in
Austin, Texas for $4,400,000.
On July 27, 2005, Justice entered into a first mortgage loan (the "Prudential
Loan") with The Prudential Insurance Company of America in a principal amount
of $30,000,000. The term of the Loan is for 120 months at a fixed interest
rate of 5.22% per annum. The Loan calls for monthly installments of principal
and interest in the amount of approximately $165,100, calculated on a 360
month amortization schedule. The Loan is secured by a first deed of trust on
-43-
the Partnership's Hotel property, including all improvements and personal
property thereon and an assignment of all present and future leases and rents.
The Loan is without recourse to the limited and general partners of Justice.
On July 27, 2005, Justice also obtained a $10,000,000 Revolving Line of Credit
("LOC") from United Commercial Bank. The term of the LOC is for 60 months at
an annual interest rate equal to either The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate or
LIBOR + 2%, as selected by Justice, and is secured by a second deed of trust
on the Hotel property. Interest only is payable monthly with principal and
accrued interest due at maturity.
From the proceeds of the Prudential Loan, the Partnership retired its existing
line of credit in the approximate amount of $7,436,000, including accrued
interest, and paid off a short term unsecured line of credit from United
Commercial Bank in the amount of $2,007,000, including accrued interest.

Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 8A. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the
fiscal period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Except as noted
below, based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that
information required to be disclosed in this filing is accumulated and
communicated to management and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
in a timely manner and in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and regulations.
Management's Consideration of the Restatement
Management considered the impact on the Company's internal control over
financial reporting of the restatement related to deferred income taxes as
more fully described in Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The
Company found that there were certain book and tax differences in the
Company's investment in Justice Investors which were not effectively
reconciled. The Company completed an assessment of materiality under Staff
Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 99 and as a result concluded that the
restatement related to deferred income taxes was not material to the balance
sheets, the statements of operations, and the statements of cash flows for the
years ended June 30, 2004 and 2005. Accordingly, because management concluded
that a material misstatement did not occur with respect to this matter,
management has concluded that there was not a material weakness in its
internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting during the last quarterly period covered by this Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

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. For fiscal 2003 and 2002
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.
For fiscal 2004, approximately $798,700 could be subject to disallowance.

-51-
The stock to be offered under the Plan shall be shares of the Company's Common

shares. Subject to certain adjustments upon changes in capitalization, the
aggregate number of shares to be delivered upon exercise of all options
granted under the Plan shall not exceed 150,000 shares (adjusted for March 31,

been acquired through the exercise of options granted under the Plan; (ii) 10
years after the date of adoption of the Plan by the Board; or (iii) such other

employee director prior to January 1, 1998, an option to purchase 8,000 shares
of Common Stock; and (ii) if he or she became a non-employee director on or
after January 1, 1998, an option to purchase 4,000 shares of Common Stock.
Each new non-employee director who is elected to the Board shall automatically
be granted an option to purchase 4,000 shares of Common Stock upon the initial
date of election to the Board. On each July 1 following the adoption date,
each non-employee director shall be granted an option to purchase 3,000 shares

under the Plan is sufficient to permit such automatic grant.
The exercise price of the option shall be determined at the time of grant and
shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at
the time of the grant of the option. The term of the option shall be for ten
years. Options granted to any non-employee director will not vest 100% until

Board, provided that the optionee is on each such date serving as a member of
the Board or as an employee or consultant to the Company.

key officers, employees and consultants (the "Key Employee Plan"). The Key
Employee Plan was ratified by the stockholders on January 27, 1999.
The stock to be offered under the Key Employee Plan shall be shares of the

or treasury shares. Subject to certain adjustments upon changes in
capitalization, the aggregate number of shares to be delivered upon exercise

options granted under the Key Employee Plan; (ii) 10 years after the date of
-52-
adoption of the Key Employee Plan by the Board; or (iii) such other date that

The Key Employee Plan is administered by a Committee appointed by the Board of
Directors which consists of two or more disinterested persons within the
meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Persons eligible to receive options under the Key
Employee Plan shall be employees who are selected by the Committee. In
determining the Employees to whom options shall be granted and the number of
shares to be covered by each option, the Committee shall take into account the
duties of the respective employee, their present and potential contribution to
the success of the Company, their anticipated number of years of active
service remaining and other factors as it deems relevant in connection with
accomplishing the purposes of the Key Employee Plan. An employee who has been
granted an option may be granted an additional option or options as the
Committee shall so determine.
The exercise price of the option shall be determined at the time of grant and
shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at
the time of the grant of the option. The term of the option shall not exceed
10 years from the date on which the option is granted. The vesting schedule
for the options and the method or time that when the option may be exercised
in whole or in part shall be determined by the Committee. However, in no
event shall an option be exercisable within six months of the date of grant in
the case of an optionee subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Subject
to certain exceptions, the option shall terminate six months after the
optionee's employment with the Company terminates. No options to purchase
shares were granted pursuant to the Key Employee Plan during fiscal 2004.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
On December 4, 1998, the Administrative and Compensation Committee authorized
the Company to obtain whole life and split dollar insurance policies covering
the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Winfield. During
fiscal 2005 and 2004, the Company paid annual premiums in the amount of
approximately $42,500 for the split dollar insurance policy owned by, and the
beneficiary of which is, a trust for the benefit of Mr. Winfield's family.
The Company has a secured right to receive, from any proceeds of the policy,
reimbursement of all premiums paid prior to any payments to the beneficiary.
On June 30, 1998, the Company's Chairman and President entered into a voting
trust agreement with the Company giving the Company the power to vote his 4.0%
interest in the outstanding shares of the Santa Fe common stock.
As Chairman of the Securities Investment Committee, the Company's President
and Chief Executive officer, John V. Winfield, oversees the investment
activity of the Company in public and private markets pursuant to authority
granted by the Board of Directors. Mr. Winfield also serves as Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of Santa Fe and Portsmouth and oversees the
investment activity of those companies. Depending on certain market
conditions and various risk factors, the Chief Executive Officer, his family,
Santa Fe and Portsmouth may, at times, invest in the same companies in which
the Company invests. The Company encourages such investments because it
places personal resources of the Chief Executive Officer and his family
members, and the resources of Santa Fe and Portsmouth, at risk in connection
with investment decisions made on behalf of the Company. Under the direction
of the Securities Investment Committee, the Company has instituted certain
modifications to its procedures to reduce the potential for conflicts of
interest.
The Company, its subsidiary Santa Fe and Santa Fe's subsidiary, Portsmouth,
have established performance based compensation programs for Mr. Winfield's
management of the securities portfolios of those companies. For the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, Mr. Winfield received, in the aggregate,
performance based compensation in the amounts of $320,000 and $2,077,00,
respectively. Of the total amount of the bonus for fiscal 2005, $57,000 was
paid by Santa Fe and $4,000 was paid by Portsmouth. For fiscal 2004, $211,000
was paid by Santa Fe and $407,000 was paid by Portsmouth. The performance
based compensation was approved by the disinterested members of the respective
Boards of Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Gary N. Jacobs, a Director of the Company, is Of Counsel to the law firm of
Christensen, Miller, Fink, Jacobs, Glaser, Weil & Shapiro, LLP. Through May
31, 2000 he was a senior partner of said firm, which provided legal services
to the Company during the year ended June 30, 2005. During the year ended June
30, 2005, the Company made payments of approximately $44,000 to Christensen,
Miller, Fink, Jacobs, Glaser, Weil & Shapiro, LLP, $38,000 of which was
incurred in fiscal 2004.
