NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by The InterGroup Corporation (“InterGroup” or the “Company”), according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Further, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which included only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, cash flows and results of operations as of and for the periods indicated. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of InterGroup and the notes therein included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022. The June 30, 2022 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from the Consolidated Balance Sheet as included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.
Effective
February 19, 2021, the Company’s
Portsmouth’s
primary business was conducted through its general and limited partnership interest in Justice Investors Limited Partnership, a California
limited partnership (“Justice” or the “Partnership”). Effective July 15, 2021, Portsmouth
completed the purchase of
Prior to its dissolution effective December 23, 2021, Justice owned and operated 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 underground parking garage through its subsidiaries Justice Operating Company, LLC (“Operating”) and Justice Mezzanine Company, LLC (“Mezzanine”). Mezzanine was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership; Operating is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mezzanine. Effective December 23, 2021, Portsmouth replaced Justice as the single member of Mezzanine. Mezzanine is the borrower under certain mezzanine indebtedness of Justice. In December 2013, the Partnership conveyed ownership of the Hotel to Operating. The Hotel is a full-service Hilton brand hotel pursuant to a Franchise License Agreement with HLT Franchise Holding LLC (“Hilton”) through January 31, 2030.
Aimbridge Hospitality (“Aimbridge”) manages the Hotel, along with its five-level parking garage, under certain Hotel management agreement (“HMA”) with Operating. The term of the management agreement is for an initial period of ten years commencing on the February 3, 2017 date and automatically renews for successive one (1) year periods, to not exceed five years in the aggregate, subject to certain conditions. Under the terms on the HMA, base management fee payable to Aimbridge shall be one and seven-tenths percent (1.70%) of total Hotel revenue.
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 three 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 the Company’s residential rental properties and its commercial rental property are managed in-house.

There
have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended December 31, 2022. Please
refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022 for a summary of the significant accounting
policies. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation on the condensed consolidated
balance sheet. Finance leases of $
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
As of December 31, 2022, there was no material impact from the recent adoption of new accounting pronouncements, nor expected material impact from recently issued accounting pronouncements yet to be adopted, on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY
Historically,
our cash flows have been primarily generated from our Hotel and real estate operations. However, the responses by federal, state, and
local civil authorities to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a material detrimental impact on our liquidity. For the six months
ended December 31, 2022, our net cash flow used for operations was $
The
Company had cash and cash equivalents of $
On
December 16, 2020, Justice and InterGroup entered into a loan modification agreement which increased Justice’s borrowing from
InterGroup as needed up to $
During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Company refinanced five of our properties’ existing mortgages and obtained a mortgage
note payable on one of our California properties, generating net proceeds totaling $
| - 9 - |
The Company’s known short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for operating and other expenditures, including management and franchise fees, corporate expenses, payroll and related costs, taxes, interest and principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness, and repairs and maintenance at all our properties.
Our long-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for scheduled debt maturities and capital improvements of the Hotel and our real estate properties. We will continue to finance our business activities primarily with existing cash, including from the activities described above, and cash generated from our operations. After considering our approach to liquidity and accessing our available sources of cash, we believe that our cash position, after giving effect to the transactions discussed above, will be adequate to meet anticipated requirements for operating and other expenditures, including corporate expenses, payroll and related benefits, taxes and compliance costs and other commitments, for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements, even if the economic recovery takes longer than anticipated. The objectives of our cash management policy are to maintain existing leverage levels and the availability of liquidity, while minimizing operational costs. However, there can be no guarantee that management will be successful with its plan.
The following table provides a summary as of December 31, 2022, the Company’s material financial obligations which also includes interest payments.

NOTE 3 – REVENUE
Our revenue from real estate is primarily rental income from residential and commercial property leases which is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as earned. The revenue recognition rules under ASC 606 specifically eliminates rental revenue from the accounting standard. The following table present our Hotel revenue disaggregated by revenue streams:
| For the three months ended December 31, | 2022 | 2021 | ||||||
| Hotel revenues: | ||||||||
| Hotel rooms | $ | $ | ||||||
| Food and beverage | ||||||||
| Garage | ||||||||
| Other operating departments | ||||||||
| Total hotel revenue | $ | $ | ||||||
| For the six months ended December 31, | 2022 | 2021 | ||||||
| Hotel revenues: | ||||||||
| Hotel rooms | $ | $ | ||||||
| Food and beverage | ||||||||
| Garage | ||||||||
| Other operating departments | ||||||||
| Total hotel revenue | $ | $ | ||||||
Performance obligations
We identified the following performance obligations for which revenue is recognized as the respective performance obligations are satisfied, which results in recognizing the amount we expect to be entitled to for providing the goods or services:
| ● | Cancelable room reservations or ancillary services are typically satisfied as the good or service is transferred to the hotel guest, which is generally when the room stay occurs. |
| - 10 - |
| ● | Non-cancelable room reservations and banquet or conference reservations represent a series of distinct goods or services provided over time and satisfied as each distinct good or service is provided, which is reflected by the duration of the room reservation. | |
| ● | Other ancillary goods and services are purchased independently of the room reservation at standalone selling prices and are considered separate performance obligations, which are satisfied when the related good or service is provided to the hotel guest. | |
| ● | Components of package reservations for which each component could be sold separately to other hotel guests are considered separate performance obligations and are satisfied as set forth above. |
Hotel revenue primarily consists of hotel room rentals, revenue from accommodations sold in conjunction with other services (e.g., package reservations), food and beverage sales and other ancillary goods and services (e.g., parking). Revenue is recognized when rooms are occupied or goods and services have been delivered or rendered, respectively. Payment terms typically align with when the goods and services are provided. For package reservations, the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations within the package based on the estimated standalone selling prices of each component.
We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an expected length of one year or less. Due to the nature of our business, our revenue is not significantly impacted by refunds. Cash payments received in advance of guests staying at our hotel are refunded to hotel guests if the guest cancels within the specified time period, before any services are rendered. Refunds related to service are generally recognized as an adjustment to the transaction price at the time the hotel stay occurs or services are rendered.
Contract assets and liabilities
We do not have any material contract assets as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, other than trade and other receivables, net on our consolidated balance sheets. Our receivables are primarily the result of contracts with customers, which are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our estimate of amounts that will not be collected.
We
record contract liabilities when cash payments are received or due in advance of guests staying at our hotel, which are presented
within accounts payable and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and had a balance of $
Contract costs
We consider sales commissions earned to be incremental costs of obtaining a contract with our customers. As a practical expedient, we expense these costs as incurred as our contracts with customers are less than one year.

Item 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND PROJECTIONS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to our expectations regarding the performance of our business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources, the impact to our business and financial condition, and measures being taken in response to the novel strain of coronavirus and the disease it causes (“COVID-19”), the effects of competition and the effects of future legislation or regulations and other non-historical statements. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, and in some cases, can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance or future achievements or events.
Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: national and worldwide economic conditions, including the impact of recessionary conditions on tourism, travel and the lodging industry; the impact of terrorism and war on the national and international economies, including tourism, securities markets, energy and fuel costs; natural disasters; general economic conditions and competition in the hotel industry in the San Francisco area; seasonality, labor relations and labor disruptions; actual and threatened pandemics such as swine flu or the outbreak of COVID-19 or similar outbreaks; the ability to obtain financing at favorable interest rates and terms; securities markets, regulatory factors, litigation and other factors discussed below in this Report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as to the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to those forward-looking statements, which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
COVID19 UPDATE
The novel strain of coronavirus and the disease it causes (“COVID-19”) have continued to affect the hospitality industry and our business. Beginning in March 2020, travel restrictions and mandated closings of non-essential businesses were imposed, which resulted in temporary suspensions of operations in many hotels in San Francisco, however, the Company did not suspend operations and did not close the hotel. As vaccination rates across the country increased and COVID-19 related restrictions were eased or removed, we saw an increase in travel and hospitality spending beginning in the second calendar quarter of 2021. During calendar year 2022, we continued to witness robust leisure demand and an acceleration in group and business transient demand. However, the potential for an economic slowdown or a recession during calendar year 2023 may disrupt the positive momentum at the Company’s hotel and our industry.
We believe the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine during 2021 drove the improvement in traveler sentiment we experienced and resulted in an improvement in occupancy, Average Daily Rate (“ADR”) and Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”) during 2021. If additional virus variants emerge causing re-imposed widespread travel restrictions, the hospitality industry will be negatively affected. While there can be no assurances that the Company will not experience further fluctuations in hotel revenues or earnings due to the uncertainty of COVID-19 and other macroeconomic factors, such as inflation, increases in interest rates, potential economic slowdown or a recession and geopolitical conflicts, we expect to continue to recover through the remainder of fiscal year 2023 based on current demand trends.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As of December 31, 2022, the Company owned approximately 75.6% of the common shares of Portsmouth Square, Inc. The Company’s principal sources of revenue are revenues from the hotel owned by Portsmouth, rental income from its investments in multi-family and commercial real estate properties, and income received from investment of its cash and securities assets.
Portsmouth’s primary asset is a 544-room hotel property located at 750 Kearny Street, San Francisco, California 94108, known as the “Hilton San Francisco Financial District” (the “Hotel” or the “Property”) and related facilities, including a five-level underground parking garage. The financial statements of Portsmouth have been consolidated with those of the Company.
In addition to the operations of the Hotel, the Company also generates income from the ownership and management of its real estate. Properties include sixteen apartment complexes, one commercial real estate property, and three 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 an investment in unimproved real property in Hawaii.
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.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8,153,000 and $14,367,000 as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company had restricted cash of $7,753,000 and $8,982,000 as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company had marketable securities, net of margin due to securities brokers, of $15,526,000 and $10,110,000 as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. These marketable securities are short-term investments and liquid in nature.
On December 16, 2020, Justice and InterGroup entered into a loan modification agreement which increased Justice’s borrowing from InterGroup as needed up to $10,000,000 and extended the maturity date of the loan to July 31, 2021. The maturity date was extended to July 31, 2023. Upon the dissolution of Justice in December 2021, Portsmouth assumed Justice’s note payable to InterGroup in the amount of $11,350,000. On December 31, 2021, Portsmouth and InterGroup entered into a loan modification agreement which increased Portsmouth’s borrowing from InterGroup as needed up to $16,000,000. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, InterGroup advanced $7,550,000 to the Hotel, bringing the total amount due to InterGroup to $14,200,000 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022. Currently, Portsmouth does not anticipate any need for funding from InterGroup. As of December 31, 2022, Portsmouth has not made any pay-downs to its note payable to InterGroup. Portsmouth could amend its by-laws and increase the number of authorized shares to issue additional shares to raise capital in the public markets or refinance the hotel if needed. The note receivable from Portsmouth is eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, the Company refinanced six of its properties’ existing mortgages and obtained a mortgage note payable on one of our California properties, generating net proceeds totaling $16,683,000. The Company is currently evaluating other refinancing opportunities and we could refinance additional multifamily properties should the need arise, or should management consider the interest rate environment favorable.
The Company had an uncollateralized $5,000,000 revolving line of credit (“LOC”) from CIBC Bank USA (“CIBC”) and the entire $5,000,000 was available to be drawn down as of June 30, 2022. In July 2022, the Company renewed it’s LOC for a reduced amount of $2,000,000 and is available in its entirety as of December 31, 2022.
Our known short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for operating and other expenditures, including management and franchise fees, corporate expenses, payroll and related costs, taxes, interest and principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness, and repairs and maintenance of the Hotel.
Our long-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for scheduled debt maturities and capital improvements of the Hotel and our real estate properties. We will continue to finance our business activities primarily with existing cash, including from the activities described above, and cash generated from our operations. After considering our approach to liquidity and accessing our available sources of cash, we believe that our cash position, after giving effect to the transactions discussed above, will be adequate to meet anticipated requirements for operating and other expenditures, including corporate expenses, payroll and related benefits, taxes and compliance costs and other commitments, for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements, even if current levels of low occupancy were to persist. The objectives of our cash management policy are to maintain existing leverage levels and the availability of liquidity, while minimizing operational costs. However, there can be no guarantee that management will be successful with its plan.

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 Aimbridge 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 Hotel’s revenues due to inflation. The Company’s 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. The Company refinanced most of its mortgages with favorable long-term fixed interest rate mortgages during the past three fiscal years.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Critical accounting estimates 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. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies or method or assumptions during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
INCOME TAXES
Judgment is required in addressing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns (e.g., realization of deferred tax assets, changes in tax laws, or interpretations thereof). In addition, we are subject to examination of our income tax returns by the IRS and other tax authorities. A change in the assessment of the outcomes of such matters could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. We evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return to determine whether they are more likely than not of being sustained, assuming that the tax reporting positions will be examined by taxing authorities with full knowledge of all relevant information, prior to recording the related tax benefit in our consolidated financial statements. If a position does not meet the more likely than not standard, the benefit cannot be recognized. Assumptions, judgment, and the use of estimates are required in determining if the “more likely than not” standard has been met when developing the provision for income taxes. A change in the assessment of the “more likely than not” standard with respect to a position could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. See Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data —Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements” on Form 10K for the year ended June 30, 2022.
DEFERRED INCOME TAXES – VALUATION ALLOWANCE
We assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets quarterly and recognize a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some or all of our deferred tax assets are not realizable. This assessment is completed by tax jurisdiction and relies on the weight of both positive and negative evidence available, with significant weight placed on recent financial results. Cumulative pre-tax losses for the three-year period are considered significant objective negative evidence that some or all of our deferred tax assets may not be realizable. Cumulative reported pre-tax income is considered objectively verifiable positive evidence of our ability to generate positive pre-tax income in the future. In accordance with GAAP, when there is a recent history of pre-tax losses, there is little or no weight placed on forecasts for purposes of assessing the recoverability of our deferred tax assets. When necessary, we use systematic and logical methods to estimate when deferred tax liabilities will reverse and generate taxable income and when deferred tax assets will reverse and generate tax deductions. Assumptions, judgment, and the use of estimates are required when scheduling the reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the exercise is inherently complex and subjective. However, significant judgment will be required to determine the timing and amount of any reversal of the valuation allowance in future periods. See Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements” on Form 10K for the year ended June 30, 2022.
| - 27 - |
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND DEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
We evaluate property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment quarterly, and when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, we evaluate the net book value of the assets by comparing to the projected undiscounted cash flows of the assets. We use judgment to determine whether indications of impairment exist and consider our knowledge of the hospitality industry, historical experience, location of the property, market conditions, and property-specific information available at the time of the assessment. The results of our analysis could vary from period to period depending on how our judgment is applied and the facts and circumstances available at the time of the analysis. When an indicator of impairment exists, judgment is also required in determining the assumptions and estimates to use within the recoverability analysis and when calculating the fair value of the asset or asset group, if applicable. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting the judgments used could result in impairments to our long-lived assets in future periods. Historically, changes in estimates used in the property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets impairment assessment process have not resulted in material impairment charges in subsequent periods as a result of changes made to those estimates. There were no impairment losses recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company and therefore, we are not required to provide information required by this Item of Form 10-Q.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in this filing is accumulated and communicated to management and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the last quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Portsmouth Square, Inc., through its operating company Justice Investors Operating Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), is the owner of the real property located at 750 Kearny Street in San Francisco, currently improved with a 27 – story building which houses a Hilton Hotel (the “Property”). The Property was improved pursuant to approvals granted by the City and County of San Francisco (the “City”) in 1970. Those approvals included a Major Encroachment Permit (“Permit”) by which the Company was required by the City to construct an ornamental overhead pedestrian bridge across Kearny Street, connecting the Property to the City park and underground parking garage known as Portsmouth Square (the “Bridge”). The construction of the Bridge was a condition of the City’s approval of the construction of the hotel structure on the Property. Effective on May 24, 2022, the City has revoked the Permit and directed the Company to remove the Bridge at the Company’s expense, including construction management costs and traffic control. Pursuant to a letter dated June 13, 2022, the City’s Department of Public works specifically directed the “removal of the unpermitted pedestrian bridge and all related physical encroachments in the public right-of-way and on City property” and the submission of a general bridge removal and restoration plan (the “Plan”). The Company disputes the legality of the purported revocation of the Permit. The Company further disputes any obligation to remove the Bridge at its expense. In particular, representatives of the Company participated in meetings with the City since August 1, 2019, discussing a collaborative process for the possible removal of the Bridge. Until the recent revocation of the Permit in 2022, the City representatives repeatedly and consistently promised and agreed that the City will pay for the associated costs of any Bridge removal. Nevertheless, without waiving any rights, in an effort to understand all of the available options, and to provide a response to the City’s directives, the Company has engaged a Project Manager, a structural engineering firm, an architect to advise on the process and for the development of a Plan for the Bridge removal, as well as the reconstruction of the front of the Hilton Hotel and a legal team. The Plan is currently not expected to be completed until early in 2023. At this time, early estimates of the cost of the Plan exceed $2 million. The Company is currently in discussions with the City regarding both the process and financial responsibility for the implementation of the Plan for the Bridge removal. Those discussions are expected to continue well into 2023.

The Company may be subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company will defend itself vigorously against any such claims. 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.
