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.
During the past three years 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's revenue is primarily generated through its holdings of the Holiday
Inn Financial District/Chinatown, a 566-room hotel in San Francisco,
California. Santa Fe and its 68.8% owned subsidiary, Portsmouth Square, Inc.
("Portsmouth"), jointly oversee their interest in the operations of the hotel.
Portsmouth is a general partner and a 49.8% limited partner in Justice
Investors ("Justice"), a California limited partnership, which owns the land,
improvements and leaseholds.
BUSINESS OF ISSUER
The Company's principal business is the ownership and management of real
estate. Properties include twenty-one apartment complexes, a hotel, two
commercial real estate properties, and a single-family house as a strategic
investment. All properties are located throughout the United States. 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. See Item 2 for a description of the
Company's current investments in and investment policies concerning real
property.
Page 3 of 45
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. The Company also has a controlling interest in
Santa Fe, which derives its revenue primarily through an interest in a 566-
room Holiday Inn in San Francisco, California. In addition, Santa Fe's
operations include an interest in an apartment complex and a marketable
securities portfolio.
For further information see Item 6 Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
COMPETITION
All of the properties owned by the Company are in areas where there is
substantial competition. However, management believes that 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 to consider
selling existing properties and re-investing in properties that may require
renovation but that offer greater appreciation potential.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 2001, the Company had a total of 13 full-time employees.
The employees and the Company are not party to any collective bargaining
agreement, and the Company believes that its employee relations are
satisfactory.
Item 2. Description of Properties.
PROPERTIES
At June 30, 2001, the Company's investment in real estate consisted of
properties located throughout the United States. These properties include
twenty one apartment complexes, a commercial real estate property, a single-
family house as a strategic investment, and a commercial real estate property
that serves as the Company's corporate headquarters. The Company wholly owns
all properties above. The Company also owns an apartment complex together
with its majority owned subsidiary, Santa Fe. All apartment complexes are
completed, operating properties. The commercial real estate property and
single-family house are being prepared for operation.
The Company owns approximately 8.2 acres of unimproved real estate in Texas.
The Company also owns an interest in a San Francisco hotel property through
its investment in Justice Investors. In the opinion of management, each of
the properties is adequately covered by insurance. None of the properties are
subject to foreclosure proceedings or litigation other than that incurred in
the normal course of business. The Company's rental property leases are short-
term leases, with no lease extending beyond one year.

rooms situated on 22 floors. One floor houses the Chinese Culture Center
pursuant to a long-term, nominal-rent lease, and three floors are devoted to a
reservation desk, lobby shops, dining room, coffee shop, hotel support
facilities, a fitness center, a guest business center, meeting and banquet
rooms and offices. Other features of the Holiday Inn include a rooftop

On March 15, 1995, Justice Investors entered into an amended and restated
lease with an effective date of January 1, 1995. That lease was assumed by
Felcor, effective July 28, 1998. The initial term of the new lease is for a
10-year term expiring on December 31, 2004. The lessee also has an option to
renew the lease for one additional term of five years which would extend the
lease to December 31, 2009. The lease requires the lessee to pay an annual
rent of the greater of twenty percent (20%) of gross room revenues or
$2,500,000 plus fifty percent (50%) of total revenues from the demised
premises less operating expenses, base rent and capital requirements.
The lease also required the lessee and Justice Investors to make substantial
capital improvements and renovations to the hotel property. A rehabilitation
budget of more than $8 million was set forth in the new lease agreement, of
which the partnership was responsible for $2 million and the lessee was
responsible for the remainder. As of June 30, 2000, the partnership had paid
all of its $2 million commitment. Rehabilitation and renovation of the guest
rooms, hallways, elevators and safety systems was completed during 1999.
Under the terms of the lease, the lessee is responsible for all maintenance
and repairs to the property, certain capital improvements, taxes and
insurance. In the opinion of management the property is adequately covered by
insurance.
The garage lease between the partnership and Evon provides for a monthly
rental of sixty percent (60%) of gross parking revenues with a minimum rent of
$21,750 per month. That lease expires in November 2010. The lessee is
responsible for insurance, repairs and maintenance, utilities and all taxes
assessed against the improvements to the leased premises. The garage is
operated by Ampco Parking pursuant to a sublease agreement with Evon.
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, office
buildings and shopping centers where financial benefit could inure to its
shareholders.
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
All properties are managed by the Company. The Company has a client service
agreement with a professional employer organization, which establishes a
three-party relationship whereby the Company and the professional employer
organization act as co-employers of the employees who work at the properties.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES INVESTMENT POLICIES
The Company has invested in income producing instruments, equity and debt
securities, which may include interests in real estate based companies and
REITs, where financial benefit could inure to its shareholders through income
and/or capital gain. Those investments are made under the supervision of the
Company's Securities Investment Committee, the Chairman of which is the
Company's Chairman of the Board and President. The Company primarily will
invest in securities priced above $5.00 a share of companies listed on the New
York and American Stock Exchanges and The Nasdaq National Stock Market, Inc.
Although most of the Company's marketable securities investments are in
companies listed on those stock markets, the overall investment portfolio and
some of the Company's investment strategies could be viewed as risky and the
market values of the portfolio may be subject to large fluctuations.
Page 10 of 45
The Company may realize gains and losses in its overall investment portfolio
from time to time to take advantage of market conditions and/or manage the
portfolio's resources and the Company's tax liability. The Company may also
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. 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. The
Company may also use options and futures to hedge concentrated stock positions
and index futures to hedge against market risk and enhance the performance of
the Company's portfolio while reducing the overall portfolio's risk and
volatility.
On June 28, 2001, the Company and its subsidiaries Santa Fe and Portsmouth
entered into an agreement with an investment advisory company, which assumed
responsibility for the performance of the investment portfolios of the Company
and its subsidiaries Santa Fe and Portsmouth as of March 5, 2001. The
agreement provides for a quarterly management fee calculated at one-fourth of
1% of the average value of the net assets in the account during each quarter.
The agreement also provides for certain performance based fees ranging from
2.5% to 10% on profits that exceed 11% of the opening account value. The
Securities Investment Committee monitors the performance of the portfolios.
The agreement may be terminated by either party upon thirty days written
notice.
Marketable securities are stated at market value as determined by the most
recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. During
1999, the Company increased the turnover of its investment portfolio and
engaged in increased trading activities designed to maximize the overall
return on investment activities in the near term. This resulted in portions of
the Company's investments in marketable securities being classified as
"trading" as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. After
consultation with the Investment Committee of the Board of Directors,
management determined that the classification of the entire portfolio as
trading beginning July 1, 1999 would be more consistent with Company's overall
investment objectives and activities. As a result, beginning July 1, 1999, all
unrealized gains and losses on the Company's investment portfolio were
recorded through the statement of operations.
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. As discussed above,
the Company has entered into an agreement with an investment advisory company,
which management believes will increase efficiencies in the management of its
securities investments.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The following is furnished to update information previously reported in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000
and in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly periods ended
September 30, 2000, December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2001.
Howard A. Jaffe v. The InterGroup Corporation, et al., Case No. BC188323,
filed on March 27, 1998 in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. As
previously reported, on December 14, 2000, after review and recommendation by
a special litigation committee of the Board of Directors, the Company agreed
to settle this case without any admission of liability for $2,600,000. The
settlement was paid in installments, with the final payment made on June 28,
2001 and a dismissal of the action was filed on June 29, 2001. The Company
has also received payment from one of its insurance carriers in the amount of
$675,000, which was applied to the cost of the settlement.
As previously reported, the Company believes that it has a reasonable basis
for claims against its other insurance carrier for its costs of defense of the
Jaffe action and for indemnification for all or part of the settlement amount.
On February 2, 2001, that insurance carrier filed a Complaint for Declaratory
Relief respecting those claims entitled, Continental Casualty Company v. The
InterGroup Corporation and John V. Winfield, in the United States District
Court for the Central District of California as Case No. 01-01034. The
Company and Mr. Winfield have filed an answer, affirmative defenses and
counter-claims for breach of written contract, tortuous breach of the implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing and for promissory fraud. In
response, Continental Casualty Company ("CNA") filed a motion to dismiss the
counterclaims, which was denied in part and granted in part with leave to
amend. The case is in its very early stages of discovery and the Company can
not reasonably predict the outcome at this time.
Guinness Peat Group plc, et al. v. Robert N. Gould, et al., Case No. 685760,
filed on February 22, 1995 in the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County of San Diego. As previously reported, the Company was awarded
its attorneys' fees and costs as the prevailing party in that litigation and
on appeal. On June 30, 2000, the Company received $250,000 on a security bond
posted by plaintiffs and on October 13, 2000 received an additional $222,754
as a result of levying on certain accounts of plaintiffs.
On January 21, 2000, the Court of Appeal also affirmed an award of attorneys'
fees and costs in favor of the Company's subsidiary, Santa Fe, and the
director defendants in the amount of $936,000, plus interest at the statutory
rate of 10%. On November 2, 2000, Santa Fe received $1,188,618 from
plaintiffs, which represented the total amount of attorneys' fees and accrued
interest due on its original judgment. On January 5, 2001, the Company's
subsidiary, Santa Fe was awarded an additional $84,092 in attorneys' fees and
costs incurred in successfully defending its judgment on appeal. On March 22,
2001, the Company received payment in the amount of $91,387 in satisfaction of
all remaining amounts due to it for attorneys' fees, interest and collection
costs.
City of St. Louis, Missouri v. The InterGroup Corporation, Intergroup
Bridgeton, Inc., et al., Circuit Court of St. Louis County, State of Missouri,
Cause No. 01CC000945. This is a condemnation action filed on April 17, 2001,
whereby the City of St. Louis sought to acquire the Company's 176 unit
apartment complex located in St. Louis, Missouri by eminent domain for an
airport expansion.
Page 12 of 45
Following a hearing, a Commissioners' Report was filed on August 2, 2001
awarding the Company the amount of $13,862,000 and granting the City of Saint
Louis permission to take possession of the property. On August 10, 2001, the
City of St. Louis filed Exceptions to Commissioners' Report challenging the
amount of the award to the Company and requesting a jury trial on the matter.
It is expected that such a trial will take place within a year. If the matter
does go to trial and a jury returns with a verdict less than the
Commissioners' award, the Company will be obligated to pay back the difference
together with interest of 6% per annum up to the date of the verdict and 9%
thereafter.
7709 Lankershim Ltd. v. Carreon Villa Apartments I, et al., Riverside County
Superior Court Case No. 088325 was filed on March 27, 1996 against the Company
and others. The action arises out of alleged construction defects in two
Indio, California apartment complexes formerly owned by the Company. The
Complaint alleges damages in an amount of $2,000,000 The Company filed
cross-complaints against numerous sub-contractors. Following a successful
mediation, a settlement was reached in the case on March 1, 2001. The case
was settled with no financial exposure to the Company, other than a nominal
payment of $4,000 to one of its insurance carriers to settle a disputed
coverage issue.
Rodney John Young, Wayne M. Prosser and Matthew Prosser v. The InterGroup
Corporation, et al., Case No. 98-209048 in the Circuit Court of St. Louis,
Missouri. After a successful mediation, this action was settled by the
Company's insurance carriers with no financial exposure to the Company.
The Company is a defendant or co-defendant in various other legal actions
involving various claims incident to the conduct of its business. Most of
these claims are covered by insurance. Management does not anticipate the
Company to suffer any material liability by reason of such actions.

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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2001 as compared to June 30, 2000.
Income from real estate operations was $166,000 for the year ended June 30,
2001 compared to $12,581,000 for the year ended June 30, 2000. The decrease
was primarily attributable to the decrease in gains on sale of real estate and
to increases in rental expenses, which were partially offset by an increase in
rental income. During the year ended June 30, 2000, the Company sold four
properties located in St. Louis, Missouri, Middleton, Ohio, Cincinnati, Ohio,
and San Antonio, Texas, respectively, for a total of $17,596,000 and realized
a total gain on sale of real estate of $11,837,000. During the year ended
June 30, 2001, the Company did not sell any properties.
The increase in rental income to $13,151,000 from $11,817,000 was primarily
due to a $888,000 increase in total rental income from the apartment complexes
in Austin Texas, Houston Texas, Morris New Jersey, and St. Louis Missouri.
These apartment complexes had higher rents and reduced vacancies during the
year ended June 30, 2001. In addition, the properties purchased during fiscal
year 2001 had total rental income of $1,329,000, which was partially offset by
an apartment complex sold in fiscal year 2000 that had total rental income of
$1,079,000.
Page 14 of 45
The increase in mortgage interest expenses to $3,813,000 from $2,848,000 was
primarily due to the increase in mortgage payable to $58,532,000 from
$41,656,000.
The increase in real estate taxes to $1,237,000 from $1,016,000 and
depreciation expense to $2,415,000 from $1,994,000 was primarily due to the
purchase of additional real estate properties during the year ended June 30,
2001.
The decrease in equity in net income of Justice Investors to $3,928,000 from
$3,935,000 was primarily attributable to the decrease in occupancy of the
hotel, offset by the increase in average room rate during the current fiscal
year.
The Company had a loss from investment transactions of $2,184,000 for the year
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to income of $20,052,000 for the year ended
June 30, 2000. The change in income(loss) from investment transactions was
primarily due to the decrease in net investment gains to $86,000 from
$20,968,000 and decrease in interest and dividend income to $1,563,000 from
$2,150,000. In addition, margin interest, trading and management expenses
increased to $3,833,000 from $3,066,000.
The decrease in net investment gains to $86,000 from $20,968,000 was primarily
due to inclusion of a reclassification of holding gains on marketable
securities during the year ended June 30, 2000. During fiscal year 2000, the
Company reclassified its accumulated unrealized holding gains on marketable
securities of $13,467,000 from the balance sheet to earnings. The unrealized
holding gains were accumulated over the years up to June 30, 1999 and
recognized in the earnings for the year ended June 30, 2000. In addition, the
decrease also reflects the decline in the market value of the Company's
investment portfolio. The Company had net unrealized losses of $5,812,000 and
net realized gains of $5,898,000 during the year ended June 30, 2001.
Investment gains and losses on marketable securities may fluctuate
significantly from period to period in the future and could have a significant
impact on the Company's net earnings. However, the amount of investment gains
or losses on marketable securities for any given period may have no predictive
value and variations in amount from period to period may have no analytical
value.
The decrease in dividend and interest income to $1,563,000 from $2,150,000 was
primarily due to a decrease of income producing securities in the Company's
investment portfolio, which consisted mainly of equity securities.
The increase in margin interest, trading and management expenses to $3,833,000
from $3,066,000 was primarily due to inclusion of the $378,000 interest
expense related to the $4,000,000 line of credit obtained in September, 2000
and the $1,270,000 second mortgage on the Kentucky property obtained in August
2000. The Company also paid investment advisory fees of $275,000 during the
year ended June 30, 2001. There were no such fees in fiscal year 2000.
Additionally, margin interest expense increased by $100,000 due to the
maintenance of higher average daily margin balances during the year ended June
30, 2001.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses to $1,619,000 from
$1,868,000 was primarily due to a reduction in computer and other
miscellaneous expenses due to more efficient usage of resources.
Page 15 of 45
Other income/(loss) changed to an expense of $1,047,000 from income of
$1,350,000 as a result of settlement expenses of $2,600,000 and approximately
$600,000 of legal fees related to the Jaffe Case. The expenses were offset by
a $675,000 payment the Company received from one of its insurance carriers
that was applied to the cost of the settlement. During the year ended June
30, 2001, the Company also received $1,412,000 in award of attorney's fees
related to Guinness Peat case. During the year ended June 30, 2000, other
income included the receipt of a $1,000,000 settlement related to a disputed
claim pertaining to certain royalty rights held by the Company.
The provision for income taxes changed to a tax benefit of $308,000 from an
expense of $15,934,000 due to the loss before taxes incurred during the year
ended June 30, 2001.
Minority interest decreased to $2,063,000 from $2,862,000 as a result of the
decrease in income generated by the Company's subsidiary.
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 $1,841,000 from operating activities, used
net cash flow of $17,460,000 for investing activities, and generated net cash
flow of $15,837,000 from financing activities during the year ended June 30,
2001.
During the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company improved properties in the
aggregate amount of $2,622,000. 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's Board of Directors has given the Company the authority to
repurchase, from time to time, up to a total of 333,000 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, 2001, the
Company acquired an additional 46,255 shares of its Common Stock for $912,000.
The events of September 11, 2001, had a dramatic impact on the domestic and
global economies resulting in a significant decline in securities markets.
Although the Company's investment portfolio felt part of that impact,
management anticipates that its net cash flow from real estate operations,
securities transactions and real estate financing activities will be
sufficient to fund any property acquisitions, property improvements, debt
service requirements and operating expenses in fiscal year 2002. Management
also anticipates that the net cash flow generated from future operating
activities will be sufficient to meet its long-term debt service requirements.
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.
Page 16 of 45
The Company's revenue from its interest in Justice 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.

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, 2001 and 2000, the Company had the power to vote 54.9% and
54.3%, respectively, of the voting shares of Santa Fe Financial Corporation
("Santa Fe"), a public company (Nasdaq SmallCap: SFEF). Santa Fe's revenue is
primarily generated through the management of its 68.8% owned subsidiary,
Portsmouth Square, Inc. ("PSI"), which derives its revenue primarily as a
general partner and a 49.8% limited partner in Justice Investors ("Justice"),
a California limited partnership. Justice owns the land, improvements and
leaseholds known as the Holiday Inn Financial District/Chinatown, a 566-room
hotel in San Francisco, California. On June 30, 1998, the Company's Chairman
and President entered into a voting trust giving the Company the power to vote
the shares of Santa Fe common stock that he owned. As a result of this
agreement, the Company had the power to vote on an additional 3.9% of the
voting shares of Santa Fe.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Material intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments
in companies in which the Company maintains an ownership interest of 20% to
50% or exercises significant influence are accounted for under the equity
method. The cost method is used where the Company maintains ownership interest
of less than 20% and does not exercise significant influence over the
investee.
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.
The Company reviews for the impairment of its rental property assets 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 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 in fiscal year 2001 or 2000.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with
an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
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 income
statement.
The cost of marketable securities sold is determined by the specific
identification method.
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.
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.
The Company adopted SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101, which did not
have an impact on the Company's method of accounting for revenue.
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, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts
payable and other liabilities 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
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, encourages all entities to adopt a fair value based
method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby
compensation cost is measured at the grant date based the value of the award
and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting
period. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation
cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.25 (APB 25), Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees, whereby compensation cost is the excess, if
any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other
measurement date) over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.
Stock options issued under the Company's stock option plan have no intrinsic
value at the grant date, and under APB 25 no compensation cost is recognized.
The Company has elected to continue with the accounting methodology in APB 25
and, as a result, has provided pro form disclosures of net income and earnings
per share and other disclosures, as if the fair value based method of
accounting had been applied.
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 the Company reported a loss
for the year ended June 30, 2001, the inclusion of potentially dilutive common
shares related to stock options (189,600 shares at June 30, 2001), would be
anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share for the year
ended June 30, 2001 are the same.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statements on
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (Business Combination) and 142
(Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets). SFAS No. 141 among other things
eliminates the use of the pooling of interest method of accounting for
business combination. Under the provision of SFAS No. 142, goodwill will no
longer be amortized, but will be subject to a periodic test for impairment
based upon fair value. SFAS No. 141 is effective for all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 must be adopted in
the first quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The
Company does not expect that the adoption of these statements will have a
material impact on the Company's financial statements.
2. Investment in Real Estate:
At June 30, 2001, the Company's investment in real estate consisted of
properties located throughout the United States. These properties include
twenty one apartment complexes, a commercial real estate property, a single-
family house as a strategic investment, and a commercial real estate property
that serves as the Company's corporate headquarters. The Company wholly owns
all properties above. The Company also owns an apartment complex together
with its majority owned subsidiary Santa Fe. All apartment complexes are
completed, operating properties. The commercial real estate property and
single-family home are being prepared for operation.
In May 2001, the Company purchased an apartment complex located in Los
Angeles, California for $1,203,000. To finance the purchase, the Company
obtained a $592,000 mortgage note.
In March 2001, the Company purchased an apartment complex located in Los
Angeles, California for $2,859,000. To finance the purchase, the Company
obtained a $1,800,000 mortgage note.
In January 2001, the Company purchased an apartment complex located in Austin,
Texas for $1,681,000. To finance the purchase, the Company obtained a
$2,243,000 mortgage note, which included $500,000 for capital improvement.
In November 2000, the Company purchased a single-family home as a strategic
investment in real estate in Los Angeles, California for $660,000. To finance
the purchase, the Company obtained a $487,500 mortgage note.
In November 2000, the Company purchased an apartment complex located in
Irving, Texas for $1,980,000. As part of the purchase, the Company assumed a
$1,233,000 mortgage note.
In September 2000, the Company purchased a commercial real estate property
located in Los Angeles, California for $1,758,000. As part of the purchase,
the Company assumed an $875,000 mortgage note.
In August 2000, the Company purchased two apartment complexes located in Los
Angeles, California for a total of $2,305,000. To finance the purchases, the
Company obtained two mortgage notes aggregating $1,180,000.
In August 2000, the Company obtained a second mortgage on one of its
properties in the amount of $1,270,000. In the same period, the Company
refinanced one of its mortgage notes in the amount of $3,787,000 and obtained
a new mortgage note payable in the amount of $3,800,000 and entered into a
line of credit agreement with an available balance of $4,000,000. Both the
$3,800,000 mortgage note and the $4,000,000 line of credit are collateralized
by the same property. As of June 30, 2001, the outstanding balance on the
line of credit was $4,000,000.
In July 2000, the Company purchased three apartment complexes located in Los
Angeles, California for a total of $6,487,000. To finance the purchases, the
Company obtained three mortgage notes aggregating $3,824,000.
3. 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. During
fiscal year 1999, the Company increased the turnover of its investment
portfolio and engaged in increased trading activities designed to maximize the
overall return on investment activities in the near term. This resulted in
portions of the Company's investments in marketable securities being
classified as "trading" as defined by generally accepted accounting
principles. After consultation with the Investment Committee of the Board of
Directors, management determined that the classification of the entire
portfolio as trading beginning July 1, 1999 would be more consistent with
Company's overall investment objectives and activities. As a result, all
unrealized gains and losses on the Company's investment portfolio were
recorded through the statement of operations.
For the year ended June 30, 2001, net gains on marketable securities of
$86,000 included net unrealized losses of $5,812,000 and net realized gains of
$5,898,000. For the year ended June 30, 2000, net gains on marketable
securities of $20,968,000 included net unrealized gains of $15,266,000 and net
realized gains of $5,702,000.
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.
Other investments primarily consist of investments in corporations and
securities that are not traded on any exchange. Other investments are stated
at cost, net of reserve for loss of $1,196,000.
Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The Company uses option contracts to hedge its investments in the underlying
common stock. The purpose of the hedge is to protect against adverse
movements in the underlying stock price and market exposure. As of June 30,
2001, the proceeds received and the fair market value of the obligation
aggregated $5,185,000 and $3,346,000, respectively. All unrealized gains or
losses related to options are included in current earnings.
4. Investment in Justice Investors:
The consolidated accounts include a 49.8% interest in Justice Investors
("Justice"), a limited partnership. Justice owns the land improvements and
leasehold known as the Financial District Holiday Inn, a 566-room hotel in San
Francisco, California. Portsmouth is both a general and limited partner in
Justice that oversees operations and shares management responsibilities.
Portsmouth records its investment in Justice on the equity basis.

9. Stock Options and Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust:
On December 8, 1998, the Company adopted and authorized a stock option plan
(the "1998 Non-employee Directors Plan") for non-employee directors. The 1998
Non-employee Directors Plan provides for the granting of stock options to
purchase shares of the Company's common stock to non-employee directors of the
Company. The aggregate number of shares to be delivered upon exercise of all
options granted under the Plan may not exceed 100,000. During fiscal years
2001 and 2000, the Company granted stock options of 10,000 shares in each
respective year, to the directors of the Company. These options have exercise
prices of $18.00 and $12.25 per share, respectively. Of the total options
granted in fiscal year 2001, 8,400 options vested during the year and the
remaining 1,600 options vest over two years. The options have a term of 10
years.
On December 22, 1998, the Company adopted and authorized a stock option plan
(the "1998 Key Officers Plan") for selected key officers. The 1998 Plan
provides for the granting of stock options to purchase shares of the Company's
common stock to key officers of the Company. The aggregate number of shares to
be delivered upon exercise of all options granted under the Plan may not
exceed 200,000. On December 22, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company
granted a total of 150,000 stock options to the President and Chairman of the
Company at an exercise price of $11.875 per share. As of June 30, 2001, all

As required by FAS 123, the company has determined the pro-forma information
as if the company had accounted for stock options granted since January 1,
1998, under the fair value method of FAS 123. The Black-Scholes option pricing
model was used with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2001; risk-
free interest rate of 2.46%; dividend yield of 0%; expected Common Stock
market price volatility factor of 28.66; and a weighted-average expected life
of the options of 7.57 years. The weighted-average fair value of options
granted in fiscal years 2001 and 2000 were $8.00 and $17.01 per share,
respectively. The aggregate fair value of the options granted in fiscal years
2001 and 2000 were $160,000 and $170,000, respectively.
Stock based compensation is accounted for under APB 25 and accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized for stock options in the financial
statements. Had compensation cost been determined based upon the fair value
of the stock options at grant date and consistent with FAS 123, the Company's
pro forma net loss and net loss per share (based on 47,500 and 47,500 options
vested for fiscal years 2001 and 2000, respectively) are as follows:
2001 2000
----------- ----------
Net income(loss) - as reported $(2,511,000) $17,254,000
Net income(loss) - pro forma $(2,893,000) $16,415,000
Earnings(loss) per share - as reported $(1.31) $8.13
Earnings(loss) per share - pro forma $(1.50) $7.74
In April 1986, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan and
Trust ("ESOP" or the "Plan"), effective July 1985, which enabled eligible
employees to receive an ownership interest in stock of the Company. The
Company did not make ESOP contributions during fiscal 2000 or 1999. The
Company distributed 1,680 shares (adjusted for stock split) to terminated
employees during fiscal 1998. Effective November 15, 1998, the Plan was
terminated and the interest of each participant was fully vested and
nonforfeitable. After receiving a favorable determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service, all Plan benefits were distributed on November 27,
2000. The termination of the Plan did not have a material effect on the
financial statements of the Company.
10. Commitments and Contingencies:
Guinness Peat Group plc, et al. v. Robert N. Gould, et al., Case No. 685760,
filed on February 22, 1995 in the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County of San Diego. The Company and its subsidiary, Santa Fe were
awarded its attorneys' fees and costs as the prevailing parties in that
litigation and on appeal. In October and November 2000 respectively, the
Company received $223,000 and $1,189,000 in recovery of its judgments for
attorneys' fees and interest thereon. The amounts were recorded as other
income in the second quarter. On March 22, 2001, the Company received payment
in the amount of $91,387 in satisfaction of all remaining amounts due to it
for attorneys' fees, interest and collection costs.
Howard A. Jaffe v. The InterGroup Corporation, et al.("Jaffe Case"), Case No.
BC188323, filed on March 27, 1998 in the Los Angeles County Superior Court.
As previously reported, on December 14, 2000, the Company agreed to settle the
case without any admission of liability for $2,600,000. The settlement was
paid in installments, with the final payment made on June 28, 2001 and a
dismissal of the action was filed on June 29, 2001. The Company has also
received payment from one of its insurance carriers in the amount of $675,000,
which was applied to the cost of the settlement. The Company believes that it
has good claims against its other insurance carrier for the costs of the
defense of this action and for a portion of the settlement amount. Those
claims are subject to an action for declaratory relief, which was filed by the
insurance carrier. The Company will vigorously pursue those claims.
On April 16, 2001 the City of St. Louis, Missouri, filed a condemnation action
against the Company and its subsidiary in the Circuit Court of St. Louis
County, State of Missouri, whereby the City of St. Louis sought to acquire the
Company's 176 unit apartment complex located in St. Louis, Missouri by eminent
domain for an airport expansion. Following a hearing, a Commissioners' Report
was filed on August 2, 2001 awarding the Company the amount of $13,862,000 and
granting the City of Saint Louis permission to take possession of the
property. On August 10, 2001, the City of St. Louis filed Exceptions to
Commissioners' Report challenging the amount of the award to the Company and
requesting a jury trial on the matter. It is expected that such a trial will
take place within a year. If the matter does go to trial and a jury returns
with a verdict less than the Commissioners' award, the Company will obligated
to pay back the difference together with interest of 6% per annum up to the
date of the verdict and 9% thereafter. After payment of the mortgage on the
property, costs and attorneys' fees, the Company received net proceeds of
$9,254,980 on August 21, 2001. The Company intends to defer any taxable gain
from the involuntary taking of the property through appropriate exchange
transactions.
The Company is a defendant or co-defendant in various other legal actions
involving various claims incident to the conduct of its business. Most of
these claims are covered by insurance. Management does not anticipate the
Company to suffer any material liability by reason of such actions.
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. In addition, the
Company utilizes 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.
11. 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 provided legal services
to the Company during the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. During the
years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company made payments of approximately
$165,000 and $216,000, respectively to Christensen, Miller, Fink, Jacobs,
Glaser, Weil & Shapiro, LLP.
In May 1996, the Company's Chairman and President exercised options to
purchase 187,500 shares of Common Stock at a price of $7.67 per share through
a full recourse note due the Company on demand with an original due date of
May 16 2001. On May 2, 2001, the Company extended the due date to May 16,
2003. The note bears interest floating at the lower of 10% or the prime rate
(7.00% at June 30, 2001) with interest payable quarterly. The balance of the
note receivable of $1,438,000 is reflected as a reduction of shareholders'
equity at June 30, 2001. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
the President of the Company made interest payments of approximately $127,000
and $131,000, respectively, on the note.
12. Subsequent Events:
During July through September 2001, the Company completed the purchase of two
apartment complexes for a total of $3,996,000.
On August 2, 2001, the Company was awarded $13,862,000 from the Circuit court
of St. Louis County, Missouri, which granted the City of Saint Louis
permission to take possession of the 176-unit Saint Louis, Missouri apartment
complex in a condemnation action filed by the City of Saint Louis. After
payment of the mortgage on the property, costs and attorneys' fees, the
Company received net proceeds of $9,254,980 on August 21, 2001. The proceeds
were invested in the investment securities market.
On August 10, 2001, the City of St. Louis filed Exceptions to Commissioners'
Report challenging the amount of the award to the Company and requesting a
jury trial on the matter.

1998 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors
On December 8, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted, subject to
stockholder approval and ratification, a 1998 Stock Option Plan for Non-
employee Directors (the "Plan"). The stockholders ratified that plan on
January 27, 1999.
The stock to be offered under the Plan shall be shares of the Company's Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share, which may be unissued shares or treasury
shares. Subject to certain adjustments upon changes in capitalization, the
aggregate number of shares to be delivered upon exercise of all options
granted under the Plan shall not exceed 100,000 shares. The Plan shall
terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the dates when all of the Common
Stock available under the Plan shall have 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 date that the Board may determine.
Pursuant the Plan, each non-employee director as of the adoption date of the
Plan shall be granted on the date thereof: (i) if he or she became a non-
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 2,000 shares
of Common Stock provided he or she holds such position on that date and the
number of Common Shares available for grant 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
such person has been a member of the Board for four (4) years or more. Non-
employee directors who have been a member of Board less than four (4) years,
shall be vested with respect to 20% of the options on the date of grant and
20% on each anniversary of such person having become a member of the 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.
Pursuant to the plan, the following non-employee directors of the Company were
granted options during fiscal 2001 to purchase shares of Common Stock: Josef
A. Grunwald (2,000 shares); William J. Nance (2,000 shares); Mildred Bond
Roxborough (2,000 shares); Gary N. Jacobs (2,000 shares); and John C. Love
(2,000 shares). The exercise price for the options is $18.00 per share, which
was the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq National
Market System as of the date of grant on July 1, 2000.
1998 Stock Option Plan for Selected Key Officers,
Employees and Consultants
On December 8, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted, subject to
shareholder approval and ratification, a 1998 Stock Option Plan for selected
key officers, employees and consultants (the "Key Employee Plan"). The Key
Employee Plan was ratified by the stockholders on January 27, 1999.
The stock to be offered under the Key Employee Plan shall be shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, which may be unissued shares
or treasury shares. Subject to certain adjustments upon changes in
capitalization, the aggregate number of shares to be delivered upon exercise
of all options granted under the Key Employee Plan shall not exceed 200,000
shares. The Key Employee Plan shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (i)
the dates when all of the Common Stock available under the Key Employee Plan
shall have been acquired through the exercise of options granted under the Key
Employee Plan; (ii) 10 years after the date of adoption of the Key Employee
Plan by the Board; or (iii) such other date that the Board may determine.
The Key Employee Plan is administered by a Committee appointed by the
Board of Directors which consists of two or more disinterested persons
within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Persons eligible to receive
options under the Key Employee Plan shall be employees who are selected by the
Committee. In determining the Employees to whom options shall be granted and
the number of shares to be covered by each option, the Committee shall take
into account the 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. As discussed above,
options to purchase 10,000 shares were granted to the Company's Vice President
Real Estate during fiscal 2001 pursuant to the Key Employee Plan.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust ("ESOP")
In April 1986, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
and Trust ("ESOP" or the "Plan"), effective July 1985, which enabled
eligible employees to receive an ownership interest in Common Stock of the
Company. The Company did not make any ESOP contributions during fiscal year
1999, made $816 in ESOP contributions during fiscal year 1998 and no
contributions in fiscal year 1997. The Company made distributions of 1,680
shares (adjusted for splits) to terminated employees during fiscal year 1998
and made no distributions during fiscal years 1999 and 1997. Effective
November 15, 1998, the Plan was terminated and the interest of each
participant was fully vested and nonforfeitable. After receiving a favorable
determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, all Plan benefits were
distributed on November 27, 2001.
Compensation of Directors
Each director is paid a fee of $1,500 per quarter for a total annual
compensation of $6,000. The Chairman of the Board of Directors is eligible to
receive $9,000 per annum. Directors also are eligible to receive $500 for each
committee meeting attended and $600 for each committee meeting chaired.
Members of the Audit Committee receive a fee of $500 per quarter. Directors
who are also Executive Officers do not receive any fee for attending Board or
Committee meetings. As an Executive Officer, the Company's Chairman has also
elected to forego his annual board fee. The Directors are also eligible for
grants of options to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to
the 1998 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors.
Except for the foregoing, there are no other arrangements for compensation of
Directors and there are no employment contracts between the Company and its
Directors.

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 2001 and 2000, the Company paid annual premiums in the amount of
$42,577 for the split dollar whole life 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 on his
3.7% interest in the outstanding shares of the Santa Fe common stock.
In May 1996, the Company's Chairman and President exercised options to
purchase 187,500 shares of Common Stock at a price of $7.67 per share through
a full recourse note due to the Company on demand with an original due date of
May 16, 2001. On May 2, 2001, the Company extended the due date to May 16,
2003. The note bears interest floating at the lower of 10% or the prime rate
(8.50% at March 31, 2001) with interest payable quarterly. The balance of the
note receivable of $1,438,000 is reflected as a reduction of shareholders'
equity at June 30, 2001. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001 and
2000, the President of the Company made interest payments of approximately
$127,000 and $131,000 respectively in connection with the note relating to his
1996 exercise of stock options.
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. In addition, on June 28, 2001, the Company and its subsidiaries
Santa Fe and Portsmouth entered into an agreement with an investment advisory
company, which assumed responsibility for the performance of the investment
portfolios of the Company and its subsidiaries Santa Fe and Portsmouth as of
March 5, 2001.
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 years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. During the
years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company made payments of approximately
$165,000 and $216,000, respectively to Christensen, Miller, Fink, Jacobs,
Glaser, Weil & Shapiro, LLP.
