NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

To fund the redemption of limited partnership interests and to repay the prior mortgage of $42,940,000, Justice obtained a $97,000,000 mortgage loan and a $20,000,000 mezzanine loan in December 2013. The 10-year mortgage loan is secured by the Company’s principal asset, the Hotel. The mortgage loan bears an interest rate of 5.275% per annum with interest only payments due through January 2017. Beginning in February 2017, the loan began to amortize over a thirty-year period through its maturity date of January 2024. Outstanding principal balance on the loan was $87,683,757 and $89,114,000 as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. As additional security for the mortgage loan, there is a limited guaranty executed by Portsmouth in favor of the mortgage lender. The mezzanine loan is secured by the Operating membership interest held by Mezzanine and is subordinated to the Mortgage Loan. The mezzanine interest only loan has an interest rate of 9.75% per annum and a maturity date of January 1, 2024. As additional security for the mezzanine loan, there is a limited guaranty executed by Portsmouth in favor of the mezzanine lender. On July 31, 2019, Mezzanine refinanced the mezzanine loan by entering into a new mezzanine loan agreement (“New Mezzanine Loan Agreement”) with Cred Reit Holdco LLC in the amount of $20,000,000. The prior Mezzanine Loan, which had a 9.75% per annum interest rate, was paid off. Interest rate on the new mezzanine loan is 7.25% and the loan matures on January 1, 2024. Interest only payments are due monthly. Unamortized deferred financing costs were $183,000 and $367,000 as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Effective May 11, 2017, InterGroup agreed to become an additional guarantor under the limited guaranty and an additional indemnitor under the environmental indemnity for Justice Investors limited partnership’s $97,000,000 mortgage loan and the $20,000,000 mezzanine loan. Pursuant to the agreement, InterGroup is required to maintain certain net worth and liquidity. As of March 31, 2023, InterGroup is in compliance with both requirements. However, due to the Hotel’s ongoing recovery from the negative impact of COVID-19 on the Hotel’s cash flow, Operating has not been meeting certain of its loan covenants such as the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (“DSCR”) which would trigger the creation of a lockbox by the Lender for all cash collected by the Hotel. However, such lockbox has been created and utilized from the loan inception and will be in place up to loan maturity regardless of the DSCR.

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. As of the date of this report, the maturity date was extended to July 31, 2023. Management anticipates Intergroup will expend the loan until July 31, 2024.

On September 7, 2021, the Board of InterGroup passed resolution to provide funding to Portsmouth for the working capital of the Hotel up to $16,000,000 if necessary. 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 memorialized the increase to $16,000,000 and the substitution of Portsmouth for Justice. 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 March 31, 2023. Currently, the Company does not anticipate any need for additional funding from InterGroup. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has not made any pay-downs to its note payable to InterGroup. The Company could amend its by-laws and increase the number of authorized shares to issue additional shares to raise capital in the public markets if needed. The note payable to InterGroup carries an interest rate of 12% per annum. The loan to InterGroup is eliminated in consolidation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company has been and will continue its efforts to secure a new loan to replace its current first mortgage and mezzanine debt which matures on January 1, 2024. Management anticipates the successful completion of the hotel’s debt refinancing.

In July 2018, InterGroup obtained a revolving $5,000,000 line of credit (“RLOC”) from CIBC Bank USA (“CIBC”). The RLOC carries a variable interest rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 3%. Interest is paid on a monthly basis. In July 2019, the Company obtained a modification from CIBC which extended the maturity date of the RLOC from July 24, 2019 to July 23, 2020. In July 2020, InterGroup entered into a second modification agreement with CIBC which extended the maturity date of its RLOC to July 21, 2021. In July 2022, the Company renewed its RLOC for a year at a reduced amount of $2,000,000 from the $5,000,000 and the entire $2,000,000 is available to be drawn down should additional liquidity be necessary.

As InterGroup formerly owned 83.7% of the outstanding common stock of Santa Fe, the Company received cash of $5,013,000 and 422,998 shares of Portsmouth common stock in March 2021 as a result of the liquidation of Santa Fe. As a former 3.7% shareholder of Santa Fe, the Company’s President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, John Winfield, received cash of $221,000 and 18,641 shares of Portsmouth common stock in March 2021 as a result of the liquidation of Santa Fe. On April 12, 2021, Santa Fe received a filed stamped copy of its Articles of Dissolution from the State of Nevada, and Santa Fe is effectively fully dissolved and no longer in legal existence. In June 2022, InterGroup received a distribution of $1,159,000 from Santa Fe as the entity received federal and state tax refunds from previously filed final tax returns.

Five of the Portsmouth directors serve as directors of InterGroup. Steve Grunwald is a Director of Portsmouth and replaced Director Babin and became a Director of the Company. The Company’s director and Chairman of the Audit Committee, William J. Nance, serves as Comstock’s director and Chairman of the Audit and Finance, Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees of Comstock. The Company’s Vice President Real Estate was elected President of Portsmouth in May 2021. Mr. Nance is also a shareholder of Comstock and is the beneficial owner of 0.2% of Comstock’s shares.

As Chairman of the Executive Strategic Real Estate and Securities Investment Committee, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), 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 the Board of Portsmouth and directs the investment activity of Portsmouth. Effective June 2016, Mr. Winfield became the Managing Director of Justice and served in that position until the dissolution of Justice in December 2021. Depending on certain market conditions and various risk factors, the Chief Executive Officer and Portsmouth may, at times, invest in the same companies in which the Company invests. Such investments align the interests of the Company with the interests of related parties because it places the personal resources of the Chief Executive Officer and the resources of Portsmouth, at risk in substantially the same manner as the Company in connection with investment decisions made on behalf of the Company.
