Description of Business. GENERAL 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. 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. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has voting control over 79.9%, of the shares of Santa Fe Financial Corporation ("Santa Fe"), a public company (OTCBB: SFEF). Santa Fe's revenue is primarily generated through its 68.8% owned subsidiary, Portsmouth Square, Inc. ("Portsmouth"), a public company (OTCBB: PRSI). InterGroup also directly owns approximately 11.7% of Portsmouth. Portsmouth is limited partner, and one of two general partners in Justice Investors, a California limited partnership ("Justice" or the "Partnership"). In April 2006, Portsmouth purchased a 0.20% limited partnership interest in Justice from another limited partner, which brought Portsmouth's limited partnership interest in Justice to exactly 50.0%. The other general partner, Evon Corporation ("Evon"), acts as the managing general partner. All significant partnership decisions require the active participation and approval of both general partners. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, voting rights of the partners are determined according to the partners' entitlement to share in the net profit and loss of the partnership. The Company is not entitled to any additional voting rights by virtue of its position as a general partner. The partnership agreement also provides that no portion of the partnership real property can be sold without the written consent of the general and limited partners entitled to more than 72% of the net profit. As of June 30, 2008, there were 111 limited partners in Justice (not including multiple family accounts). In accordance with guidance set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board(FASB)Statement of Position(SOP) 78-9-1, Portsmouth has applied the principles of accounting applicable for investments in subsidiaries due to its "kick out rights" and "substantive participating rights" arising from its limited partnership and general partnership interest and has consolidated the financial statements of Justice with those of the Company, effective with the first reporting period of its fiscal year beginning July 1, 2006. In prior years, Portsmouth's interest in Justice was recorded on the equity basis. Please see Item 7. "Financial Statements." - Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for a further discussion. -4- BUSINESS The Company's principal business is conducted through Portsmouth's limited and general partnership interest in Justice. Justice owns a 544 room hotel property located at 750 Kearny Street, San Francisco, California 94108, now known as the "Hilton San Francisco Financial District" (the "Hotel") and related facilities, including a five level underground parking garage. Historically, the Partnership's most significant source of income was a lease between Justice and Holiday Inn for the Hotel portion of the property. That lease was amended in 1995, and ultimately assumed by Felcor Lodging Trust, Inc. ("Felcor", NYSE: FCH) in 1998. The lease of the Hotel to Felcor was terminated effective June 30, 2004. With the termination of the Hotel lease, Justice assumed the role of an owner/operator with the assistance of a third party management company. Effective July 1, 2004, the Hotel was operated as a Holiday Inn Select brand hotel pursuant to a short term franchise agreement until it was temporarily closed for major renovations on May 31, 2005. The Hotel was reopened on January 12, 2006 to operate as a full service Hilton hotel, pursuant to a Franchise License Agreement with Hilton Hotels Corporation. The Partnership also derives income from its lease of the parking garage to Evon and the lease of approximately 5,400 square feet on the lobby level of the Hotel to Tru Spa, LLC for the operation of a health and beauty spa. The garage and Tru Spa remained open during the renovation work. The Company also derives income from management fees paid to Portsmouth as a general partner in Justice. In addition to the operations of the Hotel, the Company also generates income from the ownership and management of real estate. Properties include eighteen apartment complexes, two commercial real estate properties and two single-family houses as strategic investments. The properties are located throughout the United States, but are concentrated in Texas and Southern California. The Company also has investments in unimproved real property. All of the Company's residential rental properties, with exception to the Irving and San Antonio, Texas properties, are managed by professional third party property management companies. The Company acquires its investments in real estate and other investments utilizing cash, securities or debt, subject to approval or guidelines of the Board of Directors. The Company also invests in income-producing instruments, equity and debt securities and will consider other investments if such investments offer growth or profit potential. See Item 2 "Description of Properties" for a description of the Company's current investments in real estate and its investment policies concerning real property and marketable securities. HILTON HOTELS FRANCHISE LICENSE AGREEMENT With the termination of the Hotel Lease to Felcor, the Partnership was able to actively pursue a franchise agreement with a new nationally recognized brand in an effort to move the Hotel up-market and become more competitive. After considering and negotiating with several brands, the Partnership entered into a Franchise License Agreement with Hilton Hotels Corporation (the "Hilton Franchise Agreement") on December 10, 2004 for the right to operate the Hotel as a Hilton brand hotel. The term of the Hilton Franchise Agreement is for 15 years commencing on the opening date of the Hotel, January 12, 2006, with an option to extend that Agreement for another five years, subject to certain conditions. -5- The Partnership will pay monthly royalty fees for the first two years of three percent (3%) of the Hotel's gross room revenue, as defined, for the preceding calendar month, the third year will be four percent (4%) of the Hotel's gross room revenue, and the fourth year until the end of the term will be five percent (5%) of the Hotel's gross room revenue. Justice also pays a monthly program fee of four percent (4%) of the Hotel's gross room revenue and an information technology recapture charge of 0.75% of the Hotel's gross revenue. The amount of the monthly program fee is subject to change; however, the monthly program fee will not exceed five percent of gross room revenue. Prior to operating the Hotel as a Hilton hotel, the Partnership was required to make substantial renovations to the Hotel to meet Hilton standards in accordance with a product improvement plan ("PIP") agreed upon by Hilton and the Partnership, as well as comply with other brand standards. That project included a complete renovation and upgrade of all of the Hotel's guestrooms, meeting rooms, common areas and restaurant and bar. As of January 12, 2006, the Hotel renovation work was substantially completed, at which time Justice obtained approval from Hilton to open the Hotel as the "Hilton San Francisco Financial District". The Hotel opened with a limited number of rooms available to rent, which increased as the Hotel transitioned into full operations by the end of February 2006. The total cost of the construction-renovation project of the Hotel was approximately $37,030,000, which includes approximately $630,000 in interest costs incurred during the construction phase that were capitalized. To meet those substantial financial commitments, and the costs of operations during the renovation period and for the first five months when the Hotel ramped up its operations, the Partnership has relied on additional borrowings to meet its obligations. As discussed in Item 2 herein, the Partnership has been able to secure adequate financing, collateralized by the Hotel, to meet those commitments. HOTEL MANAGEMENT COMPANY AGREEMENTS In February 2007, the Partnership entered into a management agreement with Prism Hospitality ("Prism") to manage and operate the Hotel as its agent, effective February 10, 2007. Prism is an experienced Hilton approved operator of upscale and luxury hotels throughout the Americas. The agreement is effective for a term of ten years, unless the agreement is extended as provided in the agreement, and the Partnership has the right to terminate the agreement upon ninety days written notice without further obligation. Under the management agreement, the Partnership is to pay base management fees of 2.5% of gross operating revenues for the fiscal year. However, 0.75% of the stated management fee is due only if the partially adjusted net operating income for the subject fiscal year exceeds the amount of a minimum Partnership's return ($7 million) for that fiscal year. Prism is also entitled to an incentive management fee if certain milestones are accomplished. No incentive fees were earned during the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Management fees paid to Prism during the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $571,000 and $212,000, respectively. Prior to the Prism management agreement, the Hotel was managed and operated by Dow Hotel Company, LLC ("DOW") from July 1, 2004 until February 9, 2007. On February 9, 2007, Justice entered into an agreement with Dow Hotel Company, to mutually terminate its management agreement and to transition the day-to-day management responsibilities of the Hotel to Prism. The management agreement with Dow was on the same basic terms and conditions as the agreement with Prism, with the exception of certain provisions that were unique to the -6- renovation and transition of the Hotel. No incentive management fees were earned by Dow during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Management fees paid to DOW during the year ended June 30, 2007 were $311,000. GARAGE LEASE AND OPERATIONS 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 $20,000 per month. That lease expires in November 2010. The garage lessee, Evon, is responsible for insurance, repairs and maintenance, utilities and all taxes assessed against the improvements to the leased premises. The garage is operated by Ace Parking Management, Inc. ("Ace Parking") pursuant to a parking facility management agreement with the garage lessee. TRU SPA LEASE Approximately 5,400 square feet of space on the lobby level of the Hotel is leased to Tru Spa for the operation of a health and beauty spa. The lease expires in May 2013, with a five year option to extend the term. The spa lease provides for minimum monthly rent of $14,000. Minimum rental amounts are subject to adjustment every three years based on increases in the Consumer Price Index. CHINESE CULTURE FOUNDATION LEASE On March 15, 2005, the Partnership entered into an amended lease with the Chinese Culture Foundation of San Francisco (the "Foundation") for the third floor space of the Hotel commonly known as the Chinese Cultural Center, which the Foundation had right to occupy pursuant to a 50-year nominal rent lease. The amended lease requires the Partnership to pay to the Foundation a monthly event space fee in the amount of $5,000, adjusted annually based on the local Consumer Price Index. The term of the amended lease expires on October 17, 2023, with an automatic extension for another 10 year term if the property continues to be operated as a hotel. This amendment allowed Justice to incorporate the third floor into the renovation of the Hotel resulting in a new ballroom for the joint use of the Hotel and new offices and a gallery for the Chinese Culture Center. COMPENSATION OF GENERAL PARTNERS AND REPOSITIONING FEES Effective May 31, 2004, and as amended on February 23, 2006, Justice entered into a new General Partner Compensation Agreement (the "Compensation Agreement") with its two general partners, Evon and Portsmouth, to compensate them for their services to the Partnership. In order to plan, implement, and administer the repositioning and major changes in the operations of the Hotel, it is necessary for Evon and Portsmouth to devote substantial time, expertise, and effort in the renovation and in managing the Partnership's assets. The Compensation Agreement is structured to provide adequate compensation to Evon and Portsmouth and provide incentives to the general partners to encourage excellence in the performance of their responsibilities. The Compensation Agreement provides that the general partners will receive annual base compensation of 1.5% of gross revenues, with a minimum annual base compensation of $262,000, adjusted for inflation. From the minimum annual base compensation, 80% will be paid to Evon for its services as the managing -7- general partner and 20% will be paid to Portsmouth as the other general partner. Base annual compensation in excess of the minimum is payable in equal amounts to Evon and Portsmouth. The maximum base annual compensation that can be earned by the general partners is 1.5% of $40,000,000 of gross revenues. The Compensation Agreement also provides for incentive compensation to the general partners in a sum equal to the 5.0% of the annual net operating income of Justice, that is in excess of $7,000,000. Incentive compensation shall be payable in equal amounts to Evon and Portsmouth. The Compensation Agreement will continue to remain in effect until otherwise amended by the Partnership. During the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the general partners were paid $285,000 and $283,000, respectively, for the minimum base compensation. For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, additional compensation earned above the minimum base compensation was $232,000 and $184,000, respectively. No incentive compensation was earned during the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. In accordance with the Compensation Agreement, the general partners were also entitled to certain fees for services rendered to the Partnership with respect to repositioning the Hotel, which were to be paid equally to both general partners. The payments were due after six milestones in the restoration of the Hotel. As of June 30, 2007, all milestones had been achieved and all repositioning fees had been paid. There were no repositioning fees earned during the year ended June 30, 2008. For the year ended June 30, 2007, repositioning fees earned totaled $376,000. Seasonality Hotel's operations historically have been seasonal. Like most hotels in the San Francisco area, the Hotel generally maintains higher occupancy and room rates during the first and second quarters of its fiscal year (July 1 through December 31) than it does in the third and fourth quarters (January 1 through June 30). These seasonal patterns can be expected to cause fluctuations in the quarterly revenues from the Hotel. Competition The hotel industry is highly competitive. Competition is based on a number of factors, most notably convenience of location, brand affiliation, price, range of services and guest amenities or accommodations offered and quality of customer service. Competition is often specific to the individual market in which properties are located. The Hotel is located in an area of intense competition from other hotels in the Financial District and San Francisco in general as described more fully under Item 2. "Description of Property." Increased competition from new hotels, or hotels that have been recently undergone substantial renovation, could have an adverse effect on occupancy, average daily rate ("ADR") and room revenue per available room ("RevPar") and put pressure on the Partnership to make additional capital improvements to the Hotel to keep pace with the competition. Because the Hotel operates in an upper scale segment of the market, we could also face increased competition from providers of less expensive accommodations, such as limited service hotels, during periods of economic downturn when leisure and business travelers become more sensitive to room rates. As a result, there could be pressure to lower average daily rates during such periods to compete for these guests. -8- The Hotel is also subject to certain operating risks common to all of the hotel industry, which could adversely impact performance. These risks include: * Competition for guests and meetings from other hotels including competition and pricing pressure from internet wholesalers and distributors; * increases in operating costs, including wages, benefits, insurance, property taxes and energy, due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset in the future by increased room rates; * labor strikes, disruptions or lock outs; * dependence on demand from business and leisure travelers, which may fluctuate and is seasonal; * increases in energy costs, cost of fuel, airline fares and other expenses related to travel, which may negatively affect traveling; * terrorism, terrorism alerts and warnings, wars and other military actions, SARS, pandemic or other medical events or warnings which may result in decreases in business and leisure travel; and * adverse effects of down turns in international, national and/or local economies and market conditions. Environmental Matters In connection with the ownership of the Hotel, the Company is subject to various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to environmental protection. Under these laws, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental consultants retained by the Partnership or its lenders conducted updated Phase I environmental site assessments in fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 on the Hotel property. These Phase I assessments relied, in part, on Phase I environmental assessments prepared in connection with the Partnership's first mortgage loan obtained in July 2005. Phase I assessments are designed to evaluate the potential for environmental contamination on properties based generally upon site inspections, facility personnel interviews, historical information and certain publicly-available databases; however, Phase I assessments will not necessarily reveal the existence or extent of all environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns at the properties. Although the Phase I assessments and other environmental reports we have reviewed disclose certain conditions on our properties and the use of hazardous substances in operation and maintenance activities that could pose a risk of environmental contamination or liability, we are not aware of any environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company believes that the Hotel and its rental properties are in compliance, in all material respects, with all federal, state and local environmental ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances and other environmental matters, the violation of which could have -9- a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company has not received written notice from any governmental authority of any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or other environmental matters in connection with any of its present properties. EMPLOYEES As of June 30, 2008, the Company had a total of 7 full-time employees in its corporate office. Effective July 2002, the Company entered into a client service agreement with Administaff Companies II, L.P. ("Administaff"), a professional employer organization serving as an off-site, full service human resource department for its corporate office. Administaff personnel management services are delivered by entering into a co-employment relationship with the Company's employees. There are also approximately 12 employees at the Company's properties outside of the State of California that are subject to similar co-employment relationships with Administaff. The employees and the Company are not party to any collective bargaining agreement, and the Company believes that its employee relations are satisfactory. Although the employees of Portsmouth and Justice are not unionized, most employees of the Hotel are part of Local 2 of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union ("UNITE HERE"). In September 2007, a new contract was reached with Local 2 that expires on August 14, 2009. As part of that agreement, Justice also settled all claims with Local 2 arising out of the temporary closing of the hotel for renovations. The Hotel also has labor agreements with Stationary Engineers, Local 39 and Teamsters, Local 856. Those contracts expire on January 11, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Item 2. Description of Properties. SAN FRANCISCO HOTEL PROPERTY The Hotel is owned directly by the Partnership. The Hotel is centrally located near the Financial District, one block from the Transamerica Pyramid. The Embarcadero Center is within walking distance and North Beach is two blocks away. Chinatown is directly across the bridge that runs from the Hotel to Portsmouth Square Park. The Hotel is a 31-story (including parking garage), steel and concrete, A-frame building, built in 1970. The Hotel has 544 well appointed guest rooms and luxury suites situated on 22 floors as well as a 5,400 square foot Tru Spa health and beauty spa on the lobby level. The third floor houses the Chinese Culture Center and grand ballroom. The Hotel has approximately 15,000 square feet of meeting room space, including the grand ballroom. Other features of the Hotel include a 5-level underground parking garage and pedestrian bridge across Kearny Street connecting the Hotel and the Chinese Culture Center with Portsmouth Square Park in Chinatown. The bridge, built and owned by the Partnership, is included in the lease to the Chinese Culture Center. The Hotel is located in an area of intense competition from other hotels in the Financial District. After being closed for more than seven months for a substantial renovation project in fiscal year 2006, it has taken some time for the Hotel, now operating as a Hilton, to gain recognition as a totally upgraded and higher level property after being under the Holiday Inn brand for almost 35 years. The Hotel is also somewhat limited by having only 15,000 square feet of meeting room space. Other hotels, with greater meeting room space, may have a competitive advantage by being able to attract larger groups and small conventions. Management, in conjunction with its management company -10- Prism and Hilton, will make every effort to market the Hotel as an upscale property to business travelers, leisure customers and small to medium size groups. While it may take some time for the Hotel to be fully recognized and reach its full potential, Management believes that the substantial renovations made to the Hotel, coupled with the strength of the Hilton brand and its Hilton Honors program, have provided the foundation for the Hotel to meet or exceed all of its competition. Since the Hotel just completed renovations, there is no present program for any further major renovations; however, the Partnership expects to reserve approximately 4% of gross annual Hotel revenues each year for future capital requirements. In the opinion of management, the Hotel is adequately covered by insurance. HOTEL PERFORMANCE The following table presents certain statistical data and certain performance information for the Hotel for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. For additional information, see Item 6. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Item 7. "Financial Statements" - Note 2 to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Fiscal Year Ended Average Average June 30, Daily Rate Occupancy% RevPar ----------------- ---------- ---------- --------- 2008 $175 84.1% $148 2007 $160 75.8% $122 HOTEL FINANCINGS On July 27, 2005, Justice entered into a first mortgage loan with The Prudential Insurance Company of America in a principal amount of $30,000,000 (the "Prudential Loan"). The term of the Prudential Loan is for 120 months at a fixed interest rate of 5.22% per annum. The Prudential Loan calls for monthly installments of principal and interest in the amount of approximately $165,000, calculated on a 30-year amortization schedule. The Loan is collateralized by a first deed of trust on the Partnership's Hotel property, including all improvements and personal property thereon and an assignment of all present and future leases and rents. The Prudential Loan is without recourse to the limited and general partners of Justice. On March 27, 2007, Justice entered into a second mortgage loan with Prudential (the "Second Prudential Loan") in a principal amount of $19,000,000. The term of the Second Prudential Loan is for approximately 100 months and matures on August 5, 2015, the same date as the first Prudential Loan. The Second Prudential Loan is at a fixed interest rate of 6.42% per annum and calls for monthly installments of principal and interest in the amount of approximately $119,000, calculated on a 30-year amortization schedule. The Second Prudential Loan is collateralized by a second deed of trust on the Partnership's Hotel property, including all improvements and personal property thereon and an assignment of all present and future leases and rents. The Second Prudential Loan is also without recourse to the limited and general partners of Justice. From the proceeds of the Second Prudential Loan, Justice retired its existing line of credit facility with United Commercial Bank ("UCB") paying off the outstanding balance of principal and interest of approximately $16,403,000 on March 27, 2007. -11- The Partnership also obtained a new unsecured $3,000,000 revolving line of credit facility from UCB to be utilized by the Partnership to meet any emergency or extraordinary cash flow needs. As a condition of the Second Prudential Loan, Justice was required to utilize $1,500,000 of its line of credit with UCB to obtain a standby letter of credit to serve as security for potential liabilities arising out of the litigation then pending between the Partnership and Allied Construction Management, Inc. and its subcontractors (the "Allied Litigation") over disputed construction change orders. That standby letter of credit was released with the settlement of the Allied Litigation in June 2008. The annual fee for the letter of credit was one and one half percent of $1,500,000, which fee was paid in quarterly installments for the periods in which the letter of credit was in effect. The term of the new line of credit facility with UCB matures on February 2, 2009 and has an annual interest rate, based on an index selected by Justice at the time of advance, equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate or the Libor Rate plus two percent (4.50% as of June 30, 2008). As of June 30, 2008, there was $1,513,000 outstanding under the line of credit. MORTGAGES Information with respect to mortgage notes payable of the Company is set forth in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES At June 30, 2008, the Company's investment in real estate consisted of properties located throughout the United States, with a concentration in Texas and Southern California. These properties include eighteen apartment complexes, two single-family houses as strategic investments and two commercial real estate properties, one of which serves as the Company's corporate headquarters. All properties are operating properties with exception of the Company's corporate office. In addition to the properties, the Company owns approximately 4.1 acres of unimproved real estate in Texas and 2 acres of unimproved land in Maui, Hawaii. 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 such litigation incurred in the normal course of business. The Company's rental property leases are short-term leases, with no lease extending beyond one year. Las Colinas, Texas. The Las Colinas property is a water front apartment community along Beaver Creek that was developed in 1993 with 358 units on approximately 15.6 acres of land. The Company acquired the complex on April 30, 2004 for approximately $27,145,000. Depreciation is recorded on the straight-line method, based upon an estimated useful life of 27.5 years.

To help fund any such acquisition, the Company plans to borrow funds to leverage its investment capital. The amount of any such debt will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the availability of financing and the sufficiency of the acquisition property's projected cash flows to support the operations and debt service.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES INVESTMENT POLICIES In addition to its Hotel and real estate operations, the Company also invests from time to time in income producing instruments, corporate debt and equity securities, mortgage backed securities, securities issued by REIT's and other companies which invest primarily in real estate. The Company's securities investments are made under the supervision of a Securities Investment Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee currently has three members and is chaired by the Company's Chairman of the Board and President, John V. Winfield. The Committee has delegated authority to manage the portfolio to the Company's Chairman and President together with such assistants and management committees he may engage. The Committee has established investment guidelines for the Company's investments. These guidelines presently include: (i) corporate equity securities should be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NYSE ARCA, American Stock Exchange (AMEX) or the Nasdaq Stock Market (NASDAQ); (ii) securities should be priced above $5.00 per share; and (iii) investment in a particular issuer should not exceed 5% of the market value of the total portfolio. The investment policies do not require the Company to divest itself of investments, which initially meet these guidelines but subsequently fail to meet one or more of the investment criteria. Non-conforming investments require the approval of the Securities Investment Committee. The Committee has in the past approved non- conforming investments and may in the future approve non-conforming investments. The Securities Investment Committee may modify these guidelines from time to time. -17- The Company's investment portfolio is diversified with 26 different equity securities. The Company has three individual positions that comprise more than 5% of the equity value of the portfolio with the largest being 23% of the value of the portfolio. The amount of the Company's investment in any particular issue may increase or decrease, and additions or reductions to its securities portfolio may occur, at any time. While it is the internal policy of the Company to limit its initial investment in any single equity to less than 5% of its total portfolio value, that investment could eventually exceed 5% as a result of equity appreciation or reductions in other positions. Marketable securities are stated at market value as determined by the most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. As of June 30, 2008, the fair market value of the Company's marketable securities was $6,706,000. The Company may also invest, with the approval of the Securities Investment Committee, in unlisted securities, such as convertible notes, through private placements including private equity investment funds. Those investments in non-marketable securities are carried at cost on the Company's balance sheet as part of other investments and reviewed for impairment on a periodic basis. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had other investments of $6,798,000. As part of its investment strategies, the Company may assume short positions in marketable securities. Short sales are used by the Company to potentially offset normal market risks undertaken in the course of its investing activities or to provide additional return opportunities. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had no obligations for securities sold (equities short). In addition, the Company may utilize margin for its marketable securities purchases through the use of standard margin agreements with national brokerage firms. The use of available leverage is guided by the business judgment of management and is subject to any internal investment guidelines, which may be imposed by the Securities Investment Committee. The margin used by the Company may fluctuate depending on market conditions. The use of leverage could be viewed as risky and the market values of the portfolio may be subject to large fluctuations. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had a margin balance of $2,633,000 and incurred $302,000 and $671,000 in margin interest expense during the year ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Winfield, to keep and retain his services as a direct and active manager of the securities portfolios of those companies. On January 12, 2004, the disinterested members of the Securities Investment Committee of InterGroup also established a performance based compensation program for Mr. Winfield, which was ratified by the Board of Directors. The terms of that compensation arrangement are discussed in detail in Item 10 "Executive Compensation" of this Report. During the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, no performance based compensation was earned by the Company's CEO. As Chairman of the Securities Investment Committee, the Company's President and Chief Executive officer, John V. Winfield, directs the investment activity of the Company in public and private markets pursuant to authority granted by the Board of Directors. Mr. Winfield also serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Santa Fe and Portsmouth and oversees the investment activity of those companies. Depending on certain market conditions and various risk factors, the Chief Executive Officer, his family, Santa Fe and Portsmouth may, at times, invest in the same companies in which the Company invests. The -18- Company encourages such investments because it places personal resources of the Chief Executive Officer and his family members, and the resources of Santa Fe and Portsmouth, at risk in connection with investment decisions made on behalf of the Company.

The decrease in the net loss is primarily attributable to the significant decrease in the loss from Hotel operations, the significant gain recognized on the sale of real estate and improvement in the Company's real estate operations, partially offset by the significant loss incurred from investment transactions. -22- The following table sets forth a more detailed presentation of Hotel operations for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. For the years ended June 30, 2008 2007 ---------- ---------- Hotel revenues: Hotel rooms $ 29,426,000 $24,431,000 Food and beverage 6,017,000 5,110,000 Garage 1,602,000 1,533,000 Other operating departments 733,000 641,000 ---------- ---------- Total hotel revenues 37,778,000 31,715,000 ---------- ---------- Operating expenses excluding interest, depreciation and amortization (32,067,000) (29,411,000) ---------- ---------- Operating income 5,711,000 2,304,000 Interest expense (2,858,000) (2,919,000) Depreciation and amortization expense (4,463,000) (4,172,000) ---------- ---------- Loss from hotel operations $(1,610,000) $(4,787,000) ========== ==========
For the year ended June 30, 2008, the Hotel generated operating income of approximately $5,711,000, before interest, depreciation and amortization, on operating revenues of approximately $37,778,000 compared to operating income of approximately $2,304,000 before interest, depreciation and amortization, on operating revenues of approximately $31,715,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007. The increase in Hotel operating income is primarily due to a higher average daily room rate and an increase in occupancy percentage resulting in an approximately $6,063,000 increase in Hotel revenues. The following table sets forth the average daily room rate, average occupancy percentage and room revenue per available room ("RevPar") of the Hotel for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Year Ended Average Average June 30, Daily Rate Occupancy% RevPar ----------------- ---------- ---------- --------- 2008 $175 84.1% $148 2007 $160 75.8% $122 Average daily room rates and occupancy have continued to improve since the Hotel's reopening in January 2006 as the Hotel approaches full stabilization and gets further penetration into the Financial District hotel market. As a result, the Hotel was able to achieve an increase in RevPar of $26 for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared the year ended June 30, 2007. While we expect operating revenues of the Hotel to continue to grow, that growth will probably be at a slower pace due to the uncertain economy and the impact of rising fuel costs on travel. The Hotel's food and beverage operations remained challenging. Although management was able to trim the losses in that department to approximately $214,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from approximately $510,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007. The Hotel's food and beverage operations will continue to be an area of concern due to brand requirements of maintaining a three-meal, full service restaurant, the associated costs of union labor, and the intense competition in the San Francisco market for restaurants. Management will continue to focus on this area and will explore new and innovative ways to improve operations. One new concept that Management has recently initiated is the opening of a new wine bar "Flyte" in the lobby of the Hotel in August 2008. -23- With an uncertain economy, higher fuel prices and the possibility of a decline in business, group and leisure travel, management will also continue to focus on ways to improve efficiencies and reduce operating costs and other expenses in its efforts to increase the operating income of the Hotel. In the last two quarters of the year ended June 30, 2008, we have seen an improvement in operating costs of the Hotel as a percentage Hotel revenues as well as a reduction in general and administrative costs at the Partnership level for legal and consulting fees. Minority interest related to Justice Investors decreased to $802,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $2,423,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007. The decrease is due to the reduced loss from the hotel operations to $1,610,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $4,787,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007. The Company had income from real estate operations of $795,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to a loss from real estate operations of $2,048,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007. The significant improvement in the real estate operations is primarily the result of the increase in rental income coupled with the decrease in property operating expenses. Rental income from the Company's properties located outside of California increased by $868,000 while income from the Company's California portfolio increased by $718,000. The increase in the rental income from the properties located outside of California was primarily due to improved occupancy and rental rates as the result of management's efforts to improve the competitiveness of the Company's Las Colinas, Texas property through improvements and better service. The overall rental market has also improved across the country. The increase in rental income from the California real estate portfolio is primary attributable to the significant increase in the occupancy of the Company's newly renovated 30-unit apartment complex located in Los Angeles, California and the improvement in the occupancy and rental rates in the Los Angeles area. Property operating expenses decreased to $4,896,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $5,832,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 as the result of the $560,000 in real estate related legal expenses incurred during the year ended June 30, 2007 and management's overall effort to reduce property operating expenses across the Company's entire real estate portfolio and run the operations more efficiently during the year ended June 30, 2008. Property taxes decreased to $1,400,000 from $1,530,000 primarily as the result of management filing for a tax reassessment and decrease in property taxes at the Company's largest property located in Las Colinas, Texas. During the year ended June 30, 2008, there was an accidental fire in one of the Company's apartments. The Company received insurance proceeds of approximately $198,000 related to the fire damage. These proceeds were recorded as other income as the property that was damaged had been fully depreciated and had no book value. In August 2007, the Company sold its 224-unit apartment complex located in Irving, Texas for $8,050,000 and realized a gain on the sale of real state of $4,074,000 which is included in discontinued operations. As of June 30, 2007, this property was classified as property held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company listed two additional properties for sale. These two properties are classified as properties held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008. The gain on the sale of the 224-unit apartment complex and the related revenues and expenses for the two classified as properties held for sale are included under discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. -24- The Company had a net loss on marketable securities of $1,561,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to a net gain on marketable securities of $2,769,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007. For the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company had a net realized gain of $1,879,000 and a net unrealized loss of $3,440,000. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company had a net realized gain of $3,436,000 and a net unrealized loss of $667,000. Gains and losses on marketable securities and other investments may fluctuate significantly from period to period in the future and could have a significant impact on the Company's net income. However, the amount of gain or loss on marketable securities and other investments for any given period may have no predictive value and variations in amount from period to period may have no analytical value. For a more detailed description of the composition of the Company's marketable securities please see the Marketable Securities section below. Dividend and interest income decreased to $199,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $561,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 as a result of the decreased investment in income yielding securities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Margin interest and trading expenses decreased to $1,625,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $2,146,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 primarily as the result of the decrease in margin interest expense to $302,000 from $671,000. The decrease is the result of the maintenance of lower margin balances. The Company may also invest, with the approval of the Securities Investment Committee, in private investment equity funds and other unlisted securities, such as convertible notes through private placements. Those investments in non-marketable securities are carried at cost on the Company's balance sheet as part of other investments net of other than temporary impairment losses. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had net other investments of $6,798,000. During the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company performed an impairment analysis of its other investments and determined that its investments had other than temporary impairments and recorded impairment losses of $1,253,000 and $1,012,000, respectively. The total provision for income tax decreased to $297,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $1,381,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 primarily as the result of the Company having a significantly lower pre-tax loss for the year ended June 30, 2008. Minority interest, net of tax related to the Company's other subsidiaries increased to $1,147,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $954,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 primarily as the result of the higher net losses incurred by the Company's subsidiaries. -25- MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS As of June 30, 2008, the Company had investments in marketable equity securities of $6,706,000. The following table shows the composition of the Company's marketable securities portfolio by selected industry groups as of June 30, 2008: % of Total Investment Industry Group Market Value Securities -------------- ------------ ---------- Dairy products $ 1,540,000 23.0% Communications 1,123,000 16.7% Financial 721,000 10.8% Basic materials 654,000 9.8% Medical 467,000 7.0% Transportation 442,000 6.6% Others 1,759,000 26.1% ---------- ------ $ 6,706,000 100.0% ========== ====== The Company's investment portfolio is diversified with 26 different equity securities. The Company has three individual positions that comprise more than 5% of the equity value of the portfolio with the largest being 23% of the value of the portfolio. The amount of the Company's investment in any particular issue may increase or decrease, and additions or reductions to its securities portfolio may occur, at any time. While it is the internal policy of the Company to limit its initial investment in any single equity to less than 5% of its total portfolio value, that investment could eventually exceed 5% as a result of equity appreciation or reductions in other positions. The following table shows the net gain(loss) on the Company's marketable securities and the associated margin interest and trading expenses for the respective years: For the years ended June 30, 2008 2007 ------------ ------------ Net investment (losses)gains $(1,561,000) $ 2,769,000 Impairment loss on other investments (1,253,000) (1,012,000) Dividend and interest income 199,000 561,000 Margin interest (302,000) (671,000) Trading expenses (1,323,000) (1,475,000) ------------ ------------ $ (4,240,000) $ 172,000 ============ ============ The Company may also invest, with the approval of the Securities Investment Committee, in private investment equity funds and other unlisted securities, such as convertible notes through private placements. Those investments in non-marketable securities are carried at cost on the Company's balance sheet as part of other investments, net of other than temporary impairment losses. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had net other investments of $6,798,000. During the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company made investments in corporate debt instruments of a public company in the basic materials sector totaling $1,275,000 and $675,000, respectively. -26- During the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company received common stock issued upon conversion or as payment of interest and penalties on convertible notes in this company. Through sales of this common stock, the Company was able to recover approximately $1,683,000 and $793,000 of its investments during the years ended June 2008 and 2007, respectively. The sales of this common stock were recognized as realized gains in the consolidated statement of operations in the respective years. As of June 30, 2008, Intergroup had $654,000 of this company's common stock included in its investment in marketable securities balance of $6,706,000. As of June 30, 2008, the Company still holds notes and convertible notes of this company totaling approximately $7,975,000, which includes $5,290,000 of principal and $2,685,000 of accrued interest and penalties. In June 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to make additional investments in corporate debt instruments in the aggregate amount of $1,250,000. In addition, the Company's chairman agreed to invest in a like amount and on the same terms as the Companies. As of June 30, 2008, a total of $250,000 of the investment was made by the Company, leaving an aggregate remaining commitment from the Companies of $1,000,000. Subsequent to year end, additional investment funding was made in July and August 2008 in the total amount of $500,000, reducing the remaining commitment to $500,000. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY The Company's cash flows are primarily generated from the operations of Justice Investors. The Company also receives revenues generated from its real estate operations and from the investment of its cash and securities assets. Since the operations of the Hotel were temporarily suspended on May 31, 2005, and significant amounts of money were expended to renovate and reposition the Hotel as a Hilton, Justice did not pay any partnership distributions until the end of March 2007. As a result, the Company had to depend more on the revenues generated from the investment of its cash and marketable securities during that transition period. The Hotel started to generate cash flows from its operations in June 2006, which have continued to improve since that time. As a result, Justice was able to pay a total of $1,450,000 ($725,000 to the Company and $725,000 to minority partners) in limited partnership distributions for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to $1,000,000 ($500,000 to the Company and $500,000 to minority partners) for the year ended June 30, 2007. The general partners expect to conduct regular reviews to set the amount of any future distributions that may be appropriate based on the results of operations of the Hotel and other factors. If cash flows from the Hotel operations continue to improve, the Partnership could be in a position to increase distributions to its limited partners in fiscal 2009. To meet its substantial financial commitments for the renovation and transition of the Hotel to a Hilton, Justice had to rely on borrowings to meet its obligations. On July 27, 2005, Justice entered into a first mortgage loan with The Prudential Insurance Company of America in a principal amount of $30,000,000 (the "Prudential Loan"). The term of the Prudential Loan is for 120 months at a fixed interest rate of 5.22% per annum. The Prudential Loan calls for monthly installments of principal and interest in the amount of approximately $165,000, calculated on a 30-year amortization schedule. The Prudential Loan is collateralized by a first deed of trust on the Partnership's Hotel property, including all improvements and personal property thereon and an assignment of all present and future leases and rents. The -27- Prudential Loan is without recourse to the limited and general partners of Justice. As of June 30, 2008 the Prudential Loan balance was approximately $28,735,000. On March 27, 2007, Justice entered into a second mortgage loan with Prudential (the "Second Prudential Loan") in the principal amount of $19,000,000. The term of the Second Prudential Loan is for approximately 100 months and matures on August 5, 2015, the same date as the first Prudential Loan. The Second Prudential Loan is at a fixed interest rate of 6.42% per annum and calls for monthly installments of principal and interest in the amount of approximately $119,000, calculated on a 30-year amortization schedule. The Second Prudential Loan is collateralized by a second deed of trust on the Partnership's Hotel property, including all improvements and personal property thereon and an assignment of all present and future leases and rents. The Second Prudential Loan is without recourse to the limited and general partners of Justice. As of June 30, 2008, the Second Prudential Loan balance was approximately $18,747,000. From the proceeds of the Second Prudential Loan, Justice retired its existing line of credit facility with United Commercial Bank ("UCB") paying off the outstanding balance of principal and interest of approximately $16,403,000 on March 27, 2007. The Partnership also obtained a new unsecured $3,000,000 revolving line of credit facility from UCB to be utilized by the Partnership to meet any emergency or extraordinary cash flow needs. The new line of credit facility matures on February 2, 2009 and the annual interest rate is based on an index selected by Justice at the time of advance, equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate less 0.5%, or the LIBOR Rate plus 2%. As of June 30, 2008, there was a balance of $1,513,000 drawn by Justice under the new line of credit, with an annual interest rate at LIBOR plus two percent (4.50% as of June 30, 2008). During part of fiscal 2008 and 2007, Justice also utilized approximately $1,500,000 of the amount available under the line of credit in the form of a standby letter of credit related to the Allied Litigation. That letter of credit was retired with the settlement of the Allied Litigation in June 2008. While the debt service requirements related to the two Prudential loans, as well as the utilization of the UCB line of credit, may create some additional risk for the Company and its ability to generate cash flows in the future since the Partnership's assets had been virtually debt free for an number of years, management believes that cash flows from the operations of the Hotel and the garage lease will continue to be sufficient to meet all of the Partnership's current and future obligations and financial requirements. Management also believes that there is sufficient equity in the Hotel assets to support future borrowings, if necessary, to fund any new capital improvements and other requirements. In May 2008, the Company refinanced its $5,136,000 mortgage note on its 264- unit complex located in St. Louis, Missouri and obtained a new mortgage note payable in the amount of $5,700,000. The term of the note is 5 years with a fixed interest rate of 6.16%. In July 2008, the Company modified this note and borrowed an additional $500,000. The term and interest rate on the amended note of $6,194,000 remain the same. In August 2007, the Company sold its 224-unit apartment complex located in Irving, Texas for $8,050,000 and received net proceeds of approximately $7,739,000 after selling related costs. This property was classified as property held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2007. -28- In August 2007, the Company refinanced its $7,203,000 construction loan on its 30-unit apartment complex located in Los Angeles, California and obtained a mortgage note payable in the amount of $6,850,000. The term of the note is 15 years, with interest only for the first two years. The interest is fixed at 5.97%. During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company improved real estate properties in the aggregate amount of $1,111,000. 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, 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, 2008, the Company acquired an additional 5,708 shares of its Common Stock for $99,000. Approximately 16,600 shares remain eligible for the Company to repurchase under that authorization. The Company has invested in short-term, income-producing instruments and in equity and debt securities when deemed appropriate. The Company's marketable securities are classified as trading with unrealized gains and losses recorded through the statement of operations. Management believes that its cash, securities assets, and the cash flows generated from those assets and from partnership distributions and management fees, will be adequate to meet the Company's current and future obligations. MATERIAL CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS The Company does not have any material contractual obligations or commercial commitments other than Justice's mortgage loans with Prudential, its revolving line of credit facility with UCB and notes payable on its rental properties. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS The Company has no material off balance sheet arrangements. IMPACT OF INFLATION Hotel room rates are typically impacted by supply and demand factors, not inflation, since rental of a hotel room is usually for a limited number of nights. Room rates can be, and usually are, adjusted to account for inflationary cost increases. Since Prism has the power and ability under the terms of its management agreement to adjust hotel room rates on an ongoing basis, there should be minimal impact on partnership revenues due to inflation. Partnership revenues are also subject to interest rate risks, which may be influenced by inflation. For the two most recent fiscal years, the impact of inflation on the Company's income is not viewed by management as material. The Company's residential rental properties provide income from short-term operating leases and no lease extends beyond one year. Rental increases are expected to offset anticipated increased property operating expenses. -29- CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Critical accounting policies are those that are most significant to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require judgments by management in order to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an on- going basis, including those related to the consolidation of our subsidiaries, to our revenues, allowances for bad debts, accruals, asset impairments, other investments, income taxes and commitments and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates or our estimates may be affected by different assumptions or conditions. Item 7. Financial Statements.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. -36- THE INTERGROUP CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES: Description of the Business The InterGroup Corporation, a Delaware corporation, ("InterGroup" or the "Company") was formed to buy, develop, operate and dispose of real property and to engage in various investment activities to benefit the Company and its shareholders. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had the power to vote 79.9% of the voting shares of Santa Fe Financial Corporation ("Santa Fe"), a public company (OTCBB: SFEF). This percentage includes the power to vote an approximately 4% interest in the common stock in Santa Fe owned by the Company's Chairman and President pursuant to a voting trust agreement entered into on June 30, 1998. Santa Fe's revenue is primarily generated through the management of its 68.8% owned subsidiary, Portsmouth Square, Inc. ("Portsmouth"), a public company (OTCBB: PRSI). InterGroup also directly owns approximately 11.7% of the common stock of Portsmouth. Portsmouth has a 50.0% limited partnership interest in Justice and serves as one of the two general partners. The other general partner, Evon Corporation ("Evon"), serves as the managing general partner. As discussed in Note 2, the financial statements of Justice are consolidated with those of the Company, effective the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2006. Justice owns a 544 room hotel property located at 750 Kearny Street, San Francisco, California, known as the "Hilton San Francisco Financial District" (the "Hotel") and related facilities, including a five level parking garage. The Hotel was temporarily closed for major renovations from May 2005 to January 2006. The total construction costs related to the renovation project was approximately $37 million. The Hotel is operated by the Partnership as a full service Hilton brand hotel pursuant to a Franchise License Agreement with Hilton Hotels Corporation. Justice also has a Management Agreement with Prism Hospitality L.P. ("Prism") to perform the day-to-day management functions of the Hotel. The Partnership also derives income from the lease of the parking garage to Evon and a lease of a portion of the lobby level of the Hotel to a day spa operator. Portsmouth also receives management fees as a general partner of Justice for its services in overseeing and managing the Partnership's assets. Those fees are eliminated in consolidation. In addition to the operations of the Hotel, the Company also generates income from the ownership of real estate. Properties include apartment complexes, commercial real estate, and two single-family houses as strategic investments. The properties are located throughout the United States, but are concentrated in Texas and Southern California. The Company also has investments in unimproved real property. Most of the Company's residential rental properties, are managed by professional third party property management companies. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all controlled subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. -37- Investment in Hotel, Net The Hotel property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Building and improvements are being depreciated on a straight- line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 39 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 7 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, and costs of significant renewals and improvements are capitalized. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144 "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the Company reviews its investment in Hotel for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If expected future cash flows (undiscounted and excluding interest costs) are less than the carrying value of the asset, the asset is written down to its estimated 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 on the investment in Hotel have been recorded for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Investment in Real Estate, Net Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of rental property is provided on the straight-line method based upon estimated useful lives of 5 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 5 to 10 years for equipment. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred and major improvements are capitalized. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company also reviews its rental property assets for impairment. No impairment losses on the investment in real estate have been recorded for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Properties held for sale - Discontinued Operations Properties are classified as held for sale when management commits to a plan to sell the asset, the asset is available for immediate sale, an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, the sale of the asset is probable, the sale of the asset is actively marketed and it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale plan will be made or withdrawn. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had two properties classified as held for sale in accordance with SFAS No. 144, which requires that depreciation on these properties be stopped. Under the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, for properties disposed of during the year or for properties for which the Company actively markets for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its market value, the properties are required to be classified as held for sale on the balance sheet and accounted for under discontinued operations in the statement of operations. The revenues and expenses from the operation of -38- these properties have been reclassified from continuing operations for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and reported as income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. Investment in Marketable Securities Marketable securities are stated at market value as determined by the most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. Marketable securities are classified as trading securities with all unrealized gains and losses on the Company's investment portfolio recorded through the consolidated statements of operations. Other Investments Other investments in non-marketable securities are carried at cost net of any impairment loss. The Company has no significant influence or control over the entities that issue these investments. These investments are reviewed on a periodic basis for other-than-temporary impairment. The Company reviews several factors to determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) the length of time an investment is in an unrealized loss position, (ii) the extent to which fair value is less than cost, (iii) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer and (iv) our ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. For the years ended June 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded impairment losses related to other investments of $1,253,000 and $1,012,000, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains most of its cash balances at one financial institution. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures balances up to $100,000 in the aggregate per depositor. Restricted Cash Restricted cash is comprised of amounts held by lenders for payment of real estate taxes, insurance, replacement reserves for the operating properties and tenant security deposits that are invested in certificates of deposit. Other Assets, Net Other assets include accounts receivable from Hotel and rental property, inventory, prepaid expenses, loan fees and franchise fees. Loan fees are stated at cost and amortized over the term of the loan using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method. Franchise fees are stated at cost and amortized over the life of the agreement of 15 years. Accounts receivable from the Hotel and rental property customers are carried at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based on management's assessment of the collectibility of accounts receivable. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers but mitigates the associated credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. -39- Minority Interest Minority interests in the net assets and earnings or losses of consolidated subsidiaries are reflected in the caption "Minority interest" in the Company's consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations. Minority interest adjusts the Company's consolidated results of operations to reflect only the Company's share of the earnings or losses of the consolidated subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2008, the Company reported the minority interest of Justice Investors as an asset in the consolidated balance sheet as the result of the accumulated deficit at Justice Investors. Management believes the accumulated deficit is considered temporary as the Hotel was temporarily closed to undergo major renovations from May 2005 to January 2006. The Company expects the Hotel to be profitable, thereby reversing the accumulated deficit in the future. Due to Securities Broker The Company may utilize margin for its marketable securities purchases through the use of standard margin agreements with national brokerage firms. Various securities brokers have advanced funds to the Company for the purchase of marketable securities under standard margin agreements. These advanced funds are recorded as a liability. Obligation for Securities Sold Obligation for securities sold represents the fair market value of shares sold with the promise to deliver that security at some future date and the fair market value of shares underlying the written call options with the obligation to deliver that security when and if the option is exercised. The obligation may be satisfied with current holdings of the same security or by subsequent purchases of that security. Unrealized gains and losses from changes in the obligation are included in the statement of operations. Treasury Stock The Company records the acquisition of treasury stock under the cost method. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities, amounts due to securities brokers, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. As of June 30, 2008, the recorded value of mortgage notes payable approximates the fair value as the related interest rate is in line with market rates. Revenue Recognition Room revenues are recognized on the date upon which a guest occupies a room and or utilizes the Hotel's services. Food and beverage revenues are recognized upon delivery. Rental revenues from the garage and other are recognized on the straight-line method of accounting under which contractual rent payment increases are recognized evenly over the lease term, regardless of when the rent payments are received by Justice. The leases contain provisions for base rent plus a percentage of the lessees' revenues, which are recognized when earned. -40- Revenue recognition from apartment rentals commences when an apartment unit is placed in service and occupied by a rent-paying tenant. Apartment units are leased on a short-term basis, with no lease extending beyond one year. Income Taxes The provision for income tax expense or benefit differs from the amounts of income taxes currently payable because certain items of income and expense included in the consolidated financial statements are recognized in different time periods by taxing authorities. 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 the enacted tax rates. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in the amount of deferred income taxes during the period. Deferred tax assets, including net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that any portion of these tax attributes will not be realized. As of June 30, 2008, a valuation allowance of $1,171,000 was recorded against the Company's deferred tax assets. From time to time, management must assess the need to accrue or disclose a possible loss contingency for proposed adjustments from various federal, state and foreign tax authorities that regularly audit the company in the normal course of business. In making these assessments, management must often analyze complex tax laws of multiple jurisdictions. The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board(FASB) Interpretation No. 48(FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, effective July 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that the Company recognize the impact of a tax position in the Company's financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. There were no interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions that were accrued as of June 30, 2008 and during the period there were no changes in individual or aggregate unrecognized tax positions. The Company's income tax returns for the years ended June 30, 2004 to the present are subject to examination by major taxing authorities. Environmental Remediation Costs Liabilities for environmental remediation costs are recorded and charged to expense when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries of such costs are recognized when received. As of June 30, 2008, there were no liabilities for environmental remediation. Stock-Based Compensation Plans As of June 30, 2008, the Company currently has two stock compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 17. On July 1, 2006, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123 (Revised), "Share- Based Payments" ("SFAS No. 123R") which replaced SFAS No. 123 and supersedes -41- Opinion No. 25 and the related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R addresses accounting for equity-based compensation arrangements, including employee stock options. The Company adopted the "modified prospective method" where stock-based compensation expense is recorded beginning on the adoption date and prior periods are not restated. Under this method, compensation expense is recognized using the fair-value based method for all new awards granted after July 1, 2006. Additionally, compensation expense for unvested stock options that are outstanding at July 1, 2006 is recognized over the requisite service period based on the fair value of those options as previously calculated at the grant date under the pro-forma disclosures of SFAS 123. The fair value of each grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Earnings Per Share Basic income(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted income(loss) per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share except that the weighted-average number of common shares is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential dilutive common shares had been issued. The Company's only potentially dilutive common shares are stock options. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had 373,500 stock options that were considered potentially dilutive common shares and 16,500 stock options that were considered anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had 371,250 stock options that were considered potentially dilutive common shares and 33,750 stock options that were considered anti-dilutive. However, the basic and diluted loss per share are the same as the result of the Company having a net loss from continuing operations for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts. Reclassifications Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162(SFAS No. 162), The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This new standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following -42- the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments (PCAOB) to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 162 on its financial statements. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, and amendment to Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51," (SFAS No. 160). This standard prescribes the accounting by a parent company for minority interests held by other parties in a subsidiary of the parent company. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company for fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 provides entities with an irrevocable option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. It also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements that are designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 159 are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 on its financial statements. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141R"), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after an entity's fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. The provisions of SFAS 141R are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 141R on its financial statements. NOTE 2 - JUSTICE INVESTORS On July 14, 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) SOP 78-9-1, "Interaction of AICPA Statement of Position 78-9 and EITF Issue No. 04-5" to amend the guidance in AICPA Statement of Position 78-9, "Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures" (SOP 78-9) to be consistent with the consensus in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-5 "Determining Whether a General Partner, or General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights" (Issue 04-5). FSP SOP 78-9-1 eliminated the concept of "important rights" in paragraph .09 of SOP 78-9 and replaces it with the concepts of "kick out rights" and "substantive participating rights" as defined in Issue 04-5. In accordance with guidance set forth in FSP SOP 78-9-1, Portsmouth has applied the principles of accounting applicable for investments in subsidiaries due to its substantial limited partnership interest and general partnership rights and has consolidated the financial statements of Justice with those of the Company effective as of July 1, 2006. For the year ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the results of operations for Justice were consolidated with those of the Company. -43- Since the Hotel was temporarily closed to undergo major renovations from May 31, 2005 through January 12, 2006, there was no income from operations of the Hotel. Management anticipated losses during that period and for a period of time after the reopening as the Hotel ramped up its operations. To meet its substantial financial commitments for the renovation and repositioning of the Hotel, the Partnership had to rely on additional borrowings to meet its obligations. The value of the Hotel was adequate to serve as collateral for such lending facilities which provided the financial resources to meet its obligations. As a result of the renovation and repositioning of the Hotel and the operating losses incurred during the temporary closure and transition of the Hotel to a Hilton, the Partnership had an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2008. Management considers that accumulated deficit to be temporary as the Hotel is now generating operating income before depreciation and amortization which has continued to improve since the Hotel's reopening. For the year ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership had a net loss of $1,610,000, which included approximately $4.5 million in non cash charges for depreciation and amortization.

-53- NOTE 17 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS The Company currently has two equity based compensation plans, The InterGroup Corporation 2007 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "2007 Plan") and the 1998 Stock Option Plan for Selected Key Officers, Employees and Consultants (the "1998 Key Employee Plan"). Both plans were approved by the shareholders of the Company and adopted by the Board of Directors. The stock to be available for issuance under the 2007 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, a maximum of 60,000 shares of the Common Stock will be available for issuance to participants under the 2007 Plan. The 2007 Plan will terminate upon the earlier of the date all shares reserved for issuance have been awarded or February 21, 2017, if not sooner terminated by the Board of Directors. All non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the 2007 Plan. Each non-employee director as of the adoption date of the 2007 Plan shall be granted an award of 600 unrestricted shares of the Company's Common Stock. On each July 1 following the adoption date of the 2007 Plan, each non-employee director shall receive an automatic grant of a number of shares of Company's Common Stock equal in value to $18,000 based on 100% of the fair market value (as defined) of the Common Stock on the date of grant. All stock awards to non-employee directors will be unrestricted shares and are fully vested on the date of grant. The dollar amount of the annual grant is subject to further adjustment by the Board of Directors upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee. The 2007 Plan was adopted to replace the 1998 Stock Option Plan for Non- Employee Directors (the "1998 Non-Employee Director Plan") since all options authorized to be issued under the 1998 Non-Employee Director Plan were exhausted in fiscal 2006. Although the 1998 Non-Employee Director Plan was terminated upon shareholder approval, and Board adoption, of the 2007 Plan, any outstanding options under the 1998 Non-Employee Director Plan remain effective in accordance with their terms. For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the four non-employee directors of the Company each received a grant of 987 (3,948 total issued) and 600 (2,400 total issued) shares of Common Stock, respectively, pursuant to the 2007 Plan. For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded expenses of approximately $72,000 and $44,000, respectively, related to the issuance of the Company's Common Stock. The 1998 Key Employee 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 300,000 (adjusted for stock split). 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 exercise price of any options granted 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, -54- in no event shall an option be exercisable within six months of the date of grant in the case of an optionee subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Subject to certain exceptions, the option shall terminate six months after the optionee's employment with the Company terminates. No options to purchase shares were granted pursuant to the Key Employee Plan during fiscal 2008. During the year ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, there were no options granted or exercised under the 1998 Key Employee Plan and the 1998 Non-Employee Director Plan. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized during the period related to these two stock option plans. Additionally, since inception of the 1998 Key Employee Plan and the 1998 Non-Employee Director Plan, there have been no options exercised. For the year ended June 30, 2008, 2,250 employee options were vested. However, the fair value of the vested options is considered immaterial. The following table summarizes the stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2008: Number of Weighted-average Shares Exercise Price ---------- --------------- Unexercised options Outstanding at June 30, 2006 405,000 $9.91 Granted - - Exercised - - Forfeited - - ---------- --------------- Unexercised options Outstanding at June 30, 2007 405,000 $9.91 Granted - - Exercised - - Forfeited (15,000) $35.11 ---------- --------------- Unexercised options Outstanding at June 30, 2008 390,000 $9.13 ========== =============== As of June 30, 2008, of the total 390,000 unexercised options outstanding, 4,500 were not yet vested.

He is also a partner in the Partnership and is a director of Evon Corporation, the managing general partner of the Partnership. The contractor is also a board member of Evon Corporation. At June 30, 2008 and 2007, there were $67,000 and $33,000, respectively, payable to the contractor. Services performed by the contractor are capitalized as fixed assets which totaled $399,000 and $1,256,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Management believes these renovations were competitively priced. -55- The garage lessee, Evon, is the Partnership's managing general partner. Evon paid the Partnership $1,602,000 and $1,533,000 for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, under the terms of the lease agreement. Rent receivable from Evon as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $15,000 and $33,000, respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company made additional investments in Santa Fe and Portsmouth totaling $154,000 and $216,000, respectively. As Chairman of the Securities Investment Committee, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, John V. Winfield, directs the investment activity of the Company in public and private markets pursuant to authority granted by the Board of Directors. Mr. Winfield also serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of InterGroup and oversees the investment activity of the Company. Depending on certain market conditions and various risk factors, the Chief Executive Officer, his family and the Company may, at times, invest in the same companies in which the Company invests. The Company encourages such investments because it places personal resources of the Chief Executive Officer and his family members, and the resources of InterGroup, at risk in connection with investment decisions made on behalf of the Company. On July 18, 2003, the Company's subsidiaries established a performance based compensation program for the Company's CEO, John V. Winfield, to keep and retain his services as a direct and active manager of the securities portfolios of those companies. On January 12, 2004, the disinterested members of the Securities Investment Committee of InterGroup also established a performance based compensation program for Mr. Winfield, which was ratified by the Board of Directors. The Company's previous experience and results with outside money managers was not acceptable. Pursuant to the criteria established the Board of Directors, Mr. Winfield is entitled to performance compensation for his management of the securities portfolios of the Company and its subsidiaries equal to 20% of all net investment gains generated in excess of an annual return equal to the Prime Rate of Interest (as published by the Wall Street Journal) plus 2%. Compensation amounts are earned, calculated and paid quarterly based on the results of the Company's investment portfolio for that quarter. Should the companies have a net investment loss during any quarter, Mr. Winfield would not be entitled to any further performance-based compensation until any such investment losses are recouped by the Company. This performance based compensation program may be modified or terminated at the discretion of the respective Boards of Directors. During the year ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, Mr. Winfield did not receive any performance based compensation. -56- NOTE 19 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases certain equipment under capital leases expiring in various years through 2012. Capital lease obligations as of June 30, 2008 were $638,000 and are included in the accounts payable and other liabilities balance in the consolidated balance sheet. Minimum future lease payments for assets under capital leases as of June 30, 2008 for each of the next five years and in aggregate are: Year ending June 30 2009 $ 243,000 2010 243,000 2011 243,000 2012 14,000 -------- Total minimum lease payments: 743,000 Less interest on capital leases (105,000) -------- Present value of minimum lease payments $ 638,000 ======== The Company leases equipment from an unrelated third party under operating leases with expiration dates through 2010. Minimum future operating lease commitments for equipment leases as of June 30, 2008 are as follows: Year ended June 30, 2009 $ 196,000 2010 10,000 -------- $ 206,000 ======== The Partnership was involved with a contract claim with one of its general contractors who recorded a mechanic's lien against the Partnership property arising out of the renovation work performed on the Hotel. The contractor had failed to pay a number of subcontractors who also filed mechanic's lien claims against the property. In November 2007, the Partnership entered into settlement agreements with the subcontractors and their liens were released. The balance of the dispute with the general contractor was submitted to arbitration pursuant to the terms of the construction contract. All remaining claims asserted by the general contractor were settled by the Partnership on June 5, 2008 for the sum of $588,000 and a release of the lien claim was recorded and the action dismissed. Management believes that all claims against the Partnership or on the property had been settled as of June 30, 2008. The Company is involved from time to time in various claims in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the impact of such matters will have a material effect on the financial conditions or result of operations when resolved. -57- Item 8.

On July 18, 2003, the disinterested members of the respective Boards of Directors of the Company's subsidiary, Santa Fe and Santa Fe's subsidiary, Portsmouth, established a performance based compensation program for the Company's CEO, John V. Winfield, to keep and retain his services as a direct and active manager of the securities portfolios of those companies. On January 12, 2004, the disinterested members of the Securities Investment Committee of InterGroup also established a performance based compensation program for Mr. Winfield, which was ratified by the Board of Directors. The Company's previous experience and results with outside money managers was not acceptable. Pursuant to the criteria established the Board of Directors, Mr. Winfield is entitled to performance compensation for his management of the securities portfolios of the Company and its subsidiaries equal to 20% of all net investment gains generated in excess of an annual return equal to the Prime Rate of Interest (as published by the Wall Street Journal) plus 2%. Compensation amounts are earned, calculated and paid quarterly based on the results of the Company's investment portfolio for that quarter. Should the companies have a net investment loss during any quarter, Mr. Winfield would not be entitled to any further performance-based compensation until any such investment losses are recouped by the Company. This performance based compensation program may be modified or terminated at the discretion of the respective Boards of Directors. No performance based compensation was earned or paid for fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 or 2007. Internal Revenue Code Limitations Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), provides that, in the case of a publicly held corporation, the corporation is not generally allowed to deduct remuneration paid to its chief executive officer and certain other highly compensated officers to the extent that such remuneration exceeds $1,000,000 for the taxable year.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS The Company currently has two equity compensation plans, each of which has been approved by the Company's stockholders. Set forth below is a summary of those plans. 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 300,000 shares (adjusted for stock split). 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. -64- The exercise price of the option shall be determined at the time of grant and shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of the grant of the option. The term of the option shall not exceed 10 years from the date on which the option is granted. The vesting schedule for the options and the method or time that when the option may be exercised in whole or in part shall be determined by the Committee. However, in no event shall an option be exercisable within six months of the date of grant in the case of an optionee subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Subject to certain exceptions, the option shall terminate six months after the optionee's employment with the Company terminates. No options to purchase shares were granted pursuant to the Key Employee Plan during fiscal 2008. 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 offered under the Plan were 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 were not to exceed 150,000 shares (adjusted for March 31, 2003 stock split). Since all options authorized to be issued under the Plan were exhausted in fiscal 2006, the Plan was terminated upon shareholder approval, and Board adoption, of the 2007 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors described below; however, any outstanding options under the Plan remain effective in accordance with their terms. 2007 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors On February 21, 2007, the stockholders of the Company approved The InterGroup Corporation 2007 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "2007 Plan"), which was thereafter adopted by the Board of Directors. The 2007 Plan will terminate upon the earlier of the date all shares reserved for issuance have been awarded or February 21, 2017, if not sooner terminated by the Board upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee. The stock to be available for issuance under the 2007 Plan shall be unrestricted shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, which may be unissued shares or treasury shares. Subject to certain adjustments upon changes in capitalization, a maximum of 60,000 shares (subject to changes in capitalization or other adjustments for corporate changes) of the Common Stock will be available for issuance to participants under the 2007 Plan. All non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the 2007 Plan. Each non-employee director as of the adoption date of the 2007 Plan shall be granted an award of 600 unrestricted shares of the Company's Common Stock. On each July 1 following the adoption date of the 2007 Plan, each non-employee director shall receive an automatic grant of a number of shares of Company's Common Stock equal in value to $18,000 based on 100% of the fair market value (as defined) of the Common Stock on the date of grant, provided he or she holds such position on that date and the number of shares of Common Stock -65- available for grant under the 2007 Plan is sufficient to permit such automatic grant. Any fractional shares resulting from such grant will be rounded up to next highest whole share. All stock awards to non-employee directors will be fully vested on the date of grant. The dollar amount of the annual grant is subject to further adjustment by the Board of Directors upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee. The stock awards granted under the 2007 Plan are shares of unrestricted Common Stock and are fully vested on the date of grant. The right of the non-employee director to receive his or her annual grant of Common is personal to the director and is not transferable. Once received, shares of Common Stock awarded to the non-employee director are freely transferable subject to any requirements of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). On June 28, 2007, Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 to register the shares subject to the 2007 Plan and the Company's two stock option plans. Upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board may, at any time and from time to time and in any respect, amend or modify the 2007 Plan. The Board must obtain stockholder approval of any material amendment to the 2007 Plan if required by any applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule. The Board of Directors may amend the 2007 Plan or any award agreement, which amendment may be retroactive, in order to conform it to any present or future law, regulation or ruling relating to plans of this or similar nature. No amendment or modification of the 2007 Plan or any award agreement may adversely affect any outstanding award without the written consent of the participant holding the award. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the four non-employee directors of the Company, Josef A. Grunwald, Gary N. Jacobs, John C. Love and William J. Nance, each received a grant of 987 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the 2007 Plan.

Directors were also eligible to receive $500 for each committee meeting attended and $600 for each committee meeting chaired. Members of the Audit Committee also received a fee of $500 per quarter. Directors who are also executive officers did 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. Non- employee directors were 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. All of the options authorized to be issued under that Plan were exhausted effective with the July 1, 2005 option grants and that Plan was terminated. On February 21, 2007, the 2007 Plan was adopted to replace the old Plan. Pursuant to the 2007 Plan, each non-employee director is entitled to an annual grant of a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal in value to $18,000 based on the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and a grant of 600 shares of Common Stock upon the formal adoption of the 2007 Plan by the Board. Based on recommendations of the Administrative and Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors also approved a change in the amount and manner by which non-employee directors are to be paid cash compensation. Effective January 1, 2007, each non-employee director receives an annual cash retainer in the amount of $16,000, to be paid in equal quarterly payments. With the exception of members of the Audit Committee, non-employee directors will not receive any additional fees for attending Board or Committee meetings, but will be entitled to reimbursement of their reasonable expenses to attend such meetings.

Pursuant to the 2007 Plan, each non-employee director will receive, on July 1 of each year, an annual grant of a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal in value to $18,000 based on the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. -69- Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence On December 4, 1998, the Administrative and Compensation Committee authorized the Company to obtain whole life and split dollar insurance policies covering the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Winfield. During fiscal 2008 and 2007, the Company paid annual premiums in the amount of approximately $85,000 for the split dollar insurance policy owned by, and the beneficiary of which is, a trust for the benefit of Mr. Winfield's family. The Company has a secured right to receive, from any proceeds of the policy, reimbursement of all premiums paid prior to any payments to the beneficiary. On June 30, 1998, the Company's Chairman and President entered into a voting trust agreement with the Company giving the Company the power to vote his 4.0% interest in the outstanding shares of the Santa Fe common stock. As Chairman of the Securities Investment Committee, the Company's President and Chief Executive officer, John V. Winfield, oversees the investment activity of the Company in public and private markets pursuant to authority granted by the Board of Directors. Mr. Winfield also serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Santa Fe and Portsmouth and oversees the investment activity of those companies. Depending on certain market conditions and various risk factors, the Chief Executive Officer, his family, Santa Fe and Portsmouth may, at times, invest in the same companies in which the Company invests. The Company encourages such investments because it places personal resources of the Chief Executive Officer and his family members, and the resources of Santa Fe and Portsmouth, at risk in connection with investment decisions made on behalf of the Company. Under the direction of the Securities Investment Committee, the Company has instituted certain modifications to its procedures to reduce the potential for conflicts of interest. The Company, its subsidiary Santa Fe and Santa Fe's subsidiary, Portsmouth, have established performance based compensation programs for Mr. Winfield's management of the securities portfolios of those companies. The performance based compensation program was approved by the disinterested members of the respective Boards of Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. No performance bonus compensation was paid to Mr. Winfield for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. In August 2007, Portsmouth agreed to make a $973,000 equity investment in the Company's wholly subsidiary, Intergroup Uluniu, Inc., a Hawaii corporation ("Uluniu") in exchange for a 50% equity position in Uluniu. Uluniu owns an approximately two-acre parcel of unimproved land located in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii which is held for development. Portsmouth's investment in Uluniu represents an amount equal to the costs paid by InterGroup for the acquisition and carrying costs of the property through August 2007. As of September 5, 2007, $758,000 of the investment amount was paid by Portsmouth and the proceeds were used by Uluniu to retire the mortgage on the property in the approximate amount of $756,000. On June 25, 2008, the balance of $215,000 was paid by Portsmouth to Uluniu. Director Independence InterGroup's common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market tier of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ"). InterGroup is a small business issuer under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Board of Directors of InterGroup currently consists of five members. With the exception of the Company's President and CEO, John V. -70- Winfield, all of InterGroup's Board of Directors consists of "independent" directors as independence is defined by the applicable rules of the SEC and NASDAQ. There are no members of the Company's compensation, nominating or audit committees that do not meet those independence standards. Item 13. Exhibits.
