Item 2.	Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On March 27, 1996, the Board of Directors of Santa Fe 
Financial Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("Santa Fe") 
nominated two directors of The Intergroup Corporation 
("Intergroup") to serve as directors of Santa Fe for election at 
the upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Santa Fe, 
presently scheduled to be held in May 1996.  The two directors 
would constitute a majority of the Board (which presently 
consists of three directors) and, therefore, transfer control of 
Santa Fe to Intergroup. Subsequently, in April 1996, Mr. Robert 
Gould resigned as Chairman of the Board, Director and President 
of Santa Fe.  John V. Winfield, the Chairman of the Board and 
Chief Executive Officer of Intergroup, was appointed to fill the 
positions of Chairman and President of Santa Fe and William J. 
Nance, Director and Treasurer of Intergroup, was appointed as 
Director of Santa Fe.

Intergroup presently holds 211,450 shares of Santa Fe Common 
Stock, representing 33.1% of the outstanding Common Stock of 
Santa Fe.  Of these shares, 90,000 were acquired directly from 
Santa Fe in January 1995, 31,450 have been acquired in open 
market transactions, and 90,000 were acquired in March 1996 
directly from Santa Fe upon exercise of warrants.  The shares 
acquired from Santa Fe were at prices negotiated at arm's length.  
The aggregate purchase price for these shares was approximately 
$5,364,000, and the source of funds for the acquisition of the 
shares was working capital of Intergroup.

Santa Fe's principal asset is the ownership of approximately 
64.1% of the outstanding Common Stock of Portsmouth Square, Inc., 
a California corporation ("Portsmouth").  Portsmouth's principal 
asset is a 49.8% partnership interest in Justice Investors (a 
limited partnership) ("Justice"), and Portsmouth serves as a 
general partner.  Justice's principle asset is a hotel and 
related facilities in San Francisco, California.  By virtue of 
being in control of Santa Fe, Intergroup may be deemed to control 
Portsmouth and Justice.
