General The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, in the opinion of The InterGroup Corporation ("InterGroup" or the "Company"), the interim financial information contains all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the results for the interim period. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the Company's June 30, 2002 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had the power to vote 57% 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. ("Portsmouth"), 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. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2003. 2. Investment in Real Estate In December 2002, the Company refinanced its $3,513,000 mortgage note and $4,000,000 line of credit. Both loans were repaid and a new 10-year mortgage in the amount of $10,118,000 was obtained. The interest rate on the note is fixed at 5.8% and the note matures in December 2012. The note is secured by the property in Houston, Texas. 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 St. Louis permission to take possession of the 176-unit St. Louis, Missouri apartment complex in a condemnation action filed by the City of St. Louis. The Company realized a gain of $10,277,000 and received net proceeds of $9,255,000 after payment of the mortgage on the property, costs and attorneys' fees. On August 10, 2001, the City of St. Louis filed Exceptions to the Commissioners' Report challenging the amount of the award to the Company and requested a jury trial on the matter. On August 21, 2002, the Company and the City of Saint Louis entered into a settlement. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, the Company is to pay back to the City the amount of $762,000, which had been accrued for as of June 30, 2002, from the condemnation award of $13,862,000. Payments are to be made in twelve monthly installments without interest. Collateral for the obligation and penalties in the event of default are still being negotiated by the parties and no installment payments have been made. In August 2002, the Company purchased land contiguous to an existing property located in Austin, Texas for $25,000. -7- 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. Marketable securities are classified as trading with net change in unrealized gains or losses included in earnings. For the three months ended December 31, 2002, net gains on marketable securities of $578,000 included net unrealized gains of $1,268,000 and net realized losses of $690,000. For the quarter ended December 31, 2001, net losses on marketable securities of $689,000 included net unrealized losses of $5,598,000 and net realized gains of $4,909,000. For the six months ended December 31, 2002, net losses on marketable securities of $711,000 included net unrealized gains of $1,785,000 and net realized losses of $2,496,000. For the six months ended December 31, 2001, net losses on marketable securities of $10,740,000 included net unrealized losses of $6,676,000 and net realized losses of $4,064,000. 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. The Company's investment portfolio consists primarily of corporate equities. The Company has also invested in corporate bonds and income producing 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. The Company may also use exchange traded funds, 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. The Company's investment in marketable securities as of December 31, 2002 is composed of following types of securities: % of Total Market Value Portfolio ------------ --------- Fixed income: Corporate bonds $ 378,000 2.4% Corporate securities: Common stocks 14,311,000 90.7% Preferred stocks 1,088,000 6.9% ----------- -------- Total marketable securities $15,777,000 100.0% =========== ======== 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. The Company has no naked short positions. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had obligations for securities sold (equities short) of $1,824,000. -8- 4. Investment in Justice Investors: The consolidated accounts include a 49.8% interest in Justice Investors, a California limited partnership ("Justice Investors"), in which Portsmouth serves as one of the two general partners. The other general partner, Evon Garage Corporation ("Evon"), serves as the managing general partner. As a general and limited partner, Portsmouth has significant control over the management and operation of the assets of Justice Investors. All significant partnership decisions require the active participation and approval of both general partners. The Company and Evon jointly consult and determine the amount of partnership reserves and the amount of cash to be distributed to the limited partners. The partnership derives most of its income from a lease of its San Francisco, California hotel property to Felcor Lodging Trust, Inc. ("Felcor") and from a lease of the garage portion of the property to Evon. As a general partner, the Company and its subsidiaries are active in monitoring and overseeing the operations of the hotel and parking garage. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, voting rights of the partners are determined according to the partners' entitlement to share in the net profit and loss of the partnership. The Company is not entitled to any additional voting rights by virtue of its position as a general partner. The partnership agreement also provides that no portion of the partnership real property can be sold without the written consent of the general and limited partners entitled to more than 72% of the net profit. Condensed financial statements for Justice Investors are as follows: JUSTICE INVESTORS CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET As of December 31, 2002 ---------- Assets Total current assets $ 248,240 Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation of $12,440,376 4,616,710 Loan fees and deferred lease costs, net of accumulated amortization of $241,320 69,092 ---------- Total assets $ 4,934,042 ========== Liabilities and partners' capital Total current liabilities $ 1,145,841 Partners' capital 3,788,201 ---------- Total liabilities and partners' capital $ 4,934,042 ========== -9- JUSTICE INVESTORS CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS For the three months ended December 31, 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- Revenues $ 901,594 $ 838,683 Costs and expenses (155,722) (242,265) ---------- ---------- Net income $ 745,872 $ 596,418 ========== ========== For the six months ended December 31, 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- Revenues $ 2,093,067 $ 3,223,184 Costs and expenses (344,610) (441,224) ---------- ---------- Net income $ 1,748,457 $ 2,781,960 ========== ========== 5. Commitments and Contingencies: On August 21, 2002, the Company and the City of Saint Louis entered into a settlement of the City's appeal of a condemnation award in favor of the Company in the amount of $13,862,000 related to the acquisition, by eminent domain of the Company's 176-unit apartment complex in St. Louis, Missouri. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, the Company is to pay back to the City the amount of $762,000 from the condemnation award of $13,862,000. Payments are to be made in twelve monthly installments without interest. Collateral for the obligation and penalties in the event of default are still being negotiated by the parties and no installment payments have been made to date. If the parties fail to agree on acceptable collateral, the settlement can be rescinded. 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. 6. Related Parties John V. Winfield serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, Portsmouth, and Santa Fe. Depending on certain market conditions and various risk factors, the Chief Executive Officer, his family, Portsmouth and Santa Fe 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 Portsmouth and Santa Fe, at risk in connection with investment decisions made on behalf of the Company. 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 due date of May 16, 2003. The note bears interest floating at the lower of 10% or the prime rate (4.75% at December 31, 2002) with interest payable quarterly. The balance of the note receivable of $1,438,000 is reflected as a reduction of shareholders' equity at December 31, 2002. -10- 7. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are 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 three and six months ended December 31, 2002, the inclusion of potentially dilutive common shares related to stock options (184,000 shares at December 31, 2002) would be anti-dilutive. 8. Segment Information The Company operates in three reportable segments, the operations of its multi-family residential properties, the operation of Justice Investors, and the investment of its cash and securities assets. These three operating segments, as presented in the financial statements, reflect how management internally reviews each segment's performance. Management also makes operational and strategic decisions based on this same information. Information below represents reported segments for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 and the three and six months ended December 31, 2001. Operating income for rental properties consist of rental income. Operating income from Justice Investors consists of the operations of the hotel and garage included in the equity in net income of Justice Investors. Operating income (losses) for investment transactions consist of net investment gains(losses)and dividend and interest income.

Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND PROJECTIONS 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 and in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 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 Three Months Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2001 The Company had a net loss of $230,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to net loss of $1,331,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. This was due to the decrease in the loss from real estate operations, an increase the equity in net income of Justice Investors, gains on investments and a decrease in other expenses, partially offset by a decrease in the income tax benefit. -13- Rental income increased to $3,650,000 from $3,129,000 primarily due to an increase in occupancy at the Austin, Texas property as a result of the completion of its renovation. The increase was also due to the overall increase in occupancy levels at several other properties partially offset by a decrease in occupancy at the Florissant, Missouri property. The remaining property revenues varied immaterially from the comparative quarter. The increase in rental expenses to $3,867,000 from $3,404,000 was primarily due to the increase in property operating expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation. The increase in property operating expenses was primarily due to the increase in repairs and maintenance expense. There were immaterial property and real estate tax increases at several of individual properties as compared to the prior quarter. Depreciation increased due to renovations and the acquisition of a property in Los Angeles, California in February 2002. The increase in equity in net income of Justice Investors to $372,000 from $297,000 is primarily due to three factors. Approximately $55,000 of that increase is attributable to additional revenue related to the year-end hotel rent calculation. Approximately $50,000 of the increase was due to legal and consulting expenses related to an arbitration proceeding in the prior year. These amounts were partially offset by a decline in hotel revenues. The recovery of the tourism and the hospitality industry has been especially slow in San Francisco due to the continued weak economy in the Bay Area. In addition, the hotel has faced increased competition from new properties and from higher end properties that have cut room rates in an effort to keep their share of a declining market. For the three months ended December 31, 2002, average daily room rates decreased 18% to $89 from $108 in the prior year's quarter, while average occupancy increased 11% to 62% from 56% in the prior year's quarter. Net investment gains (losses) changed to net gains of $578,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from net losses of $689,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. For the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Company had net unrealized gains of $1,268,000 and net realized losses of $690,000. 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 income. However, the amount of gain or loss 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. For a more detailed description of the composition of the Company's marketable securities and performance please see the section below. Dividend and interest income increased to $41,000 from $29,000 as a result of increased investment in dividend yielding securities. Margin interest, trading and management expenses decreased to $244,000 from $435,000 primarily due to the termination of the third party investment manager in November 2001. Other income (expenses) changed to income of $42,000 from an expense of $186,000 in the prior quarter due to the payment of $236,000 during the three months end December 31, 2001 for legal expenses related to litigation brought by a former officer and director (the "Jaffe case"). Income tax benefit decreased to $33,000 from $728,000 due a lower loss incurred by the Company. -14- For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to the Six Months Ended December 31, 2001 The Company had a net loss of $765,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 compared to net income of $702,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2001. This was primarily due to the gain on sale of real estate in the prior period and a decline in income of Justice Investors, partially offset by a decline in investment losses, a decrease in margin interest, trading and management expenses and a decrease in other expenses. Rental income increased to $6,988,000 from $6,432,000 primarily due to an increase in occupancy at the Austin, Texas as a result of the completion of its renovation and the recognition of income for the full six month period for our Austin, Texas property purchased in September 2001. The increase was also due to the overall increase in occupancy levels at several other properties partially offset by a decrease in occupancy at the Florissant, Missouri property. The remaining property revenues varied immaterially from the comparative period. The increase in rental expenses to $7,238,000 from $6,717,000 was primarily due to the increase in property operating expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation. The increase in property operating expenses was primarily due to the increase in repairs and maintenance expense. There were immaterial real estate tax increases at several of individual properties. Depreciation increased due to renovations and the acquisition of a property in Los Angeles, California in February 2002. The decrease in equity in net income of Justice Investors to $871,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 from $1,385,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2001 is primarily attributable to a the inclusion of approximately $300,000 in equity in net income of Justice Investors from an arbitration settlement payment from the hotel leasee and to a decline in hotel revenues. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, had a devastating effect on tourism and the hospitality industry, especially in San Francisco where recovery has been especially slow due to the weak economy in the Bay Area. In addition, the hotel has faced increased competition from new properties and from higher end properties that have cut room rates in an effort to keep their share of a declining market. For the six months ended December 31, 2002, average daily room rates decreased 23% to $92 from $120 for the six months ended December 31, 2001, while average occupancy increased 7% to 72% from 67%. Net investment losses decreased to $711,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 from net losses of $10,740,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2001. For the six months ended December 31, 2002, the Company had net unrealized gains of $1,785,000 and net realized losses of $2,496,000. 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 income. However, the amount of gain or loss 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. For a more detailed description of the composition of the Company's marketable securities and performance please see the section below. Margin interest, trading and management expenses decreased to $464,000 from $1,000,000 primarily due to the termination of the third party investment manager in November 2001. -15- Other income(expenses) changed to income of $46,000 from an expense of $197,000 in the prior period due to the payment of $236,000 during the six months end December 31, 2001 for legal expenses related to the Jaffe case. Minority interest decreased to $55,000 from $1,499,000 as a result of lower net loss incurred by the Company's subsidiary, Santa Fe, during the six months ended December 31, 2002. MARKETABLE SECURITIES The Company invests from time to time in corporate debt and equity securities, mortgage backed securities, securities issued by REIT's and other companies, which invest primarily in real estate. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's investment portfolio as of December 31, 2002: % of Total Market Value Portfolio ------------ --------- Fixed income: Corporate bonds $ 378,000 2.4% Corporate securities: Common stocks 14,311,000 90.7% Preferred stocks 1,088,000 6.9% ----------- -------- Total marketable securities $15,777,000 100.0% =========== ======== The following table shows the composition of the Company's investment securities portfolio by selected industry groups as of December 31, 2002. % of Total Investment Industry Group Market Value Securities -------------- ------------ ---------- Telecommunication $ 4,557,000 28.9% Electric and Other Services 2,720,000 17.2% Metal and auto manufacturers 2,321,000 14.7% Energy 2,142,000 13.6% Computer/Technologies 1,161,000 7.4% Insurance 696,000 4.4% Other 2,180,000 13.8% ---------- ------ $ 15,777,000 100.0% ========== ====== The Company's investment portfolio is diversified with 107 different equity positions. Only four individual equity securities comprise more than 5% of the equity value of the portfolio, with the largest being 7.2%. The amount of the Company's investment in any particular issuer may increase or decrease, and additions or deletions to its securities portfolio may occur, at any time. -16- 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 reduction of 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. The following table shows the net gain or loss on the Company's marketable securities and the associated margin interest and trading expenses for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Three months ended Three months ended December 31, December 31, 2002 2001 ------------ ------------ Net invest gains (losses) $ 578,000 $ (689,000) Dividend & interest income 41,000 29,000 Margin interest (153,000) (60,000) Trading and management expenses (91,000) (375,000) ------------ ------------ Investment income (loss) $ 375,000 $ (1,095,000) ============ ============ Six months ended Six months ended December 31, December 31, 2002 2001 ------------ ------------ Net invest losses $ (711,000) $(10,740,000) Dividend & interest income 141,000 157,000 Margin interest (196,000) (193,000) Trading and management expenses (268,000) (807,000) ------------ ------------ Investment loss $ (1,034,000) $(11,583,000) ============ ============ 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. During the six months ended December 31, 2002, the Company used net cash flow of $2,404,000 from operating activities, generated net cash flow of $245,000 from investing activities, and generated net cash flow of $1,591,000 from financing activities. During the six months ended December 31, 2002, the Company made property improvements in the aggregate amount of $706,000. Management believes the improvements to its properties will 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 (adjusted for two stock splits) of its Common Stock. Such repurchases may be made at the -17- discretion of management and depending upon market conditions. During the six months ended December 31, 2002, the Company purchased 42,030 shares of treasury stock for total of $530,000. On February 10, 2003, the Board increased the number of shares the Company is authorized to repurchase by an additional 150,000 shares. The events of September 11, 2001 and the continuing threats of terrorism and war have 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 2003. The Company has no off balance sheet arrangements. The Company also does not have any material contractual obligations or commercial commitments. 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. Hotel room rates are typically impacted by supply and demand factors, not inflation, since rental of a hotel room is usually for a limited number of nights. Room rates can be, and usually are, adjusted to account for inflationary cost increases. To the extent that the hotel lessee is able to adjust room rates, there should be minimal impact on partnership revenues due to inflation. Partnership revenues are also subject to interest rate risks, which may be influenced by inflation. For the two most recent fiscal years, the impact of inflation on the Company's income is not viewed by management as material. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company reviews its long-lived assets 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 Company's hotel property, owned through the Company's investment in Justice Investors, and rental properties are less than the carrying value of the asset, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to its fair value. For other investments, the Company reviews the investment's operating results, financial position and other relevant factors to determine whether the estimated fair value of the asset is less than the carrying value of the asset. Marketable securities are stated at market value as determined by the most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. Marketable securities are classified as trading with net unrealized gains or losses included in earnings. The Company's other accounting policies are straightforward in their application. -18- Item 3. Controls and Procedures (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President Finance (acting as Chief Financial Officer), have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Valuation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings. (b) Changes in internal controls. Subsequent to the date of the evaluation, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, nor were there any corrective actions required with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
