THE INTERGROUP CORPORATION FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND PROJECTIONS
The Company may from time to time make forward-looking statements and projections concerning future expectations. When used in this discussion, the words "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "may," "could," "might" and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
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 theSan 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; partnership distributions; 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 endedJune 30, 2019 . 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. OnMarch 25, 2020 , pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 194, theSecurities and Exchange Commission issued Order Release No. 34-88465 (the "Order") granting exemptions to registrants subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act Section 13(a) or 15(d) due to circumstances related to the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19"). Due to the circumstances related to COVID-19, the Company has relied on the Order with respect to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q") for the period endedMarch 31, 2020 . Absent the Order, the Form 10-Q was due onMay 15, 2020 . The Company was unable to file the Form 10-Q on a timely basis due to delays in the preparation and final review of the Form 10-Q by the relevant parties within the Company, due in part by the attention and resources the Company has focused on addressing the severe impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations.
Negative Effects of COVID-19 on our Business
OnFebruary 25, 2020 , theCity of San Francisco issued the proclamation by the Mayor declaring the existence of a local emergency. The negative effects of the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") on our business have been significant. InMarch 2020 , theWorld Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious virus, which has continued to spread, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies and financial markets globally. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. To mitigate the harm from the pandemic, onMarch 16, 2020 , the City and County ofSan Francisco , along with a group of five otherBay Area counties and theCity of Berkeley , issued parallel health officer orders imposing shelter in place limitations across theBay Area , requiring everyone to stay safe at home except for certain essential needs. SinceFebruary 2020 , several unfavorable events have unfolded causing demand for our hotel rooms to suffer including cancellations of all citywide conventions, reduction of flights in and out of theBay Area and decline in both leisure and business travel. In response to the decrease in demand, we have since furloughed all managers at the Hotel except for members of the executive team and continue to limit hourly staff to a minimum. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have temporarily closed all of our food and beverage outlets. We continue to implement social distancing standards to keep employees and guests safe. The full impact and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this Quarterly Report. The pandemic effectively eliminated our ability to generate any profits, due to the drastic decline in both leisure and business travel. As a result, management believes the ongoing length and severity of the economic downturn caused by the pandemic will have a material adverse impact on our future business, financial condition, liquidity and financial results for the fiscal year endingJune 30, 2020 . We are also assessing the potential impact on the impairment analysis of our long-lived assets and the realization of our deferred tax assets. As a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") signed into law onMarch 27, 2020 , additional avenues of relief may be available to workers and families through enhanced unemployment insurance provisions and to small businesses through programs administered by theSmall Business Administration ("SBA"). The CARES Act includes, among other things, provisions relating to payroll tax credits and deferrals, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credits and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of the CARES Act. The CARES Act also established a Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), whereby certain small businesses are eligible for a loan to fund payroll expenses, rent, and related costs. As described in Note 12 - Subsequent Events, onApril 9, 2020 , Justice entered into a loan agreement ("SBA Loan") withCIBC Bank USA under the CARES Act. The Company received proceeds of$4,719,000 from the SBA Loan. In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, the Company will use proceeds from the SBA Loan primarily for payroll costs. The SBA Loan is scheduled to mature onApril 9, 2022 and has a 1.00% interest rate and is subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by theU.S. Small Business Administration under the CARES Act. All payments of principle and interest are deferred for the first six (6) months and the loan may be forgiven if the funds are used for payroll and other qualified expenses. -23- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS As ofMarch 31, 2020 , the Company owned approximately 87.3% of the common shares of its subsidiary, Santa Fe andSanta Fe owned approximately 68.8% of the common shares ofPortsmouth Square, Inc. InterGroup also directly owns approximately 13.5% of the common shares of Portsmouth. Historically, the Company's principal source of revenue is derived from the investment of its subsidiary, Portsmouth, in theJustice Investors Limited Partnership ("Justice" or the "Partnership") inclusive of hotel room revenue, food and beverage revenue, garage revenue, and revenue from other operating departments. Justice owns the Hotel and related facilities, including a five-level underground parking garage. The financial statements of Justice have been consolidated with those of the Company. However, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and management expects that the ongoing length and severity of the economic downturn will have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity and financial results. The Hotel is operated by the Partnership as a full-service Hilton brand hotel pursuant to a Franchise License Agreement (the "License Agreement") with Hilton. The Partnership entered into the License Agreement onDecember 10, 2004 . The term of the License Agreement was for an initial period of 15 years commencing on the opening date, with an option to extend the License Agreement for another five years, subject to certain conditions. OnJune 26, 2015 , the Partnership and Hilton entered into an amended franchise agreement which extended the License Agreement through 2030, modified the monthly royalty rate, extended geographic protection to the Partnership and also provided the Partnership certain key money cash incentives to be earned through 2030. The key money cash incentives were received onJuly 1, 2015 . OnFebruary 1, 2017 , Justice entered into an HMA with Interstate to manage the Hotel and related facilities with an effective takeover date ofFebruary 3, 2017 . The term of HMA is for an initial period of ten years commencing on the takeover date and automatically renews for an additional year not to exceed five years in aggregate subject to certain conditions. The HMA also provides for Interstate to advance a key money incentive fee to the Hotel for capital improvements in the amount of$2,000,000 under certain terms and conditions described in a separate key money agreement. In addition to the operations of the Hotel, the Company also generates income from the ownership and management of real estate. Properties include sixteen apartment complexes, one commercial real estate property, and three single-family houses as strategic investments. The properties are located throughoutthe United States , but are concentrated inTexas andSouthern California . The Company also has an investment in unimproved real property. All of the Company's residential and commercial rental operating properties are managed in-house. 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
Historically, our cash flows have been primarily generated from our Hotel and real estate operations. However, management expects that the ongoing length and severity of the economic downturn, resulting from the continuing and uncertain impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, will have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity and financial results. As a result of our Hotel's material decrease in occupancy and average daily rate, we expect our cash flow from operations to continue to be significantly lower than historical rates for the foreseeable future, until the pandemic resolves, and hotel occupancies return to historical rates. We have taken several steps to preserve capital and increase liquidity, including the implementation of various cost saving initiatives at our Hotel. For further discussion, see "Item 2 - Negative Effects of COVID-19 on our Business" included in this Quarterly Report. We may also receive cash generated from the investment of our cash and marketable securities as well as other investments. In order to increase our liquidity positions and take advantage of the favorable interest rate environment, we refinanced our$8,481,000 and$2,473,000 mortgage note payables on our 151-unit apartment complex inNew Jersey inApril 2020 and obtained a new mortgage in the amount of$18,370,000 . The new mortgage has a fixed interest rate of 3.17% and matures inApril 2030 . We received net proceeds of approximately$6,814,000 from the refinancing. We are also refinancing two of ourCalifornia properties which are scheduled to close in June andJuly 2020 , and we could refinance additional multifamily properties should the need arise; however, management does not deem it necessary at this time. We have an uncollateralized$8,000,000 revolving line of credit fromCIBC Bank USA ("CIBC") of which$5,000,000 is available to be drawn down as ofJune 18, 2020 , should additional liquidity be necessary. -28-
As ofMarch 31, 2020 , we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of$21,487,000 which included$11,550,000 of restricted cash held by our Hotel senior lenderWells Fargo Bank, N.A . ("Lender"). Of the total restricted cash held by the Lender,$7,977,000 was for furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E") reserves and$2,432,000 was for a possible future property improvement plan ("PIP") request by our franchisor, Hilton. However, Hilton has confirmed that it will not require a PIP for our Hotel until relicensing which shall occur at the earlier of (i)January 2030 , which is six years after the maturity date of our current senior and mezzanine loans, or (ii) upon the sale of our Hotel. Therefore, Justice is currently in discussions with the Lender to release the PIP deposits to the Hotel and to allow the Hotel to utilize some or all of its FF&E reserves to fund operating expenses as well as debt service. Additionally, Justice has requested to temporarily pay interest only on the senior mortgage and the suspension of the monthly FF&E reserve installment, for a combined monthly savings in cash flow of approximately$321,000 . Justice anticipates a resolution with the Lender in regard to the aforementioned requests before
June 30, 2020 . OnApril 9, 2020 , Justice entered into a loan agreement ("SBA Loan - Justice") withCIBC Bank USA under the recently enacted CARES Act administered by theU.S. Small Business Administration . The Partnership received proceeds of$4,719,000 from the SBA Loan - Justice. The SBA Loan - Justice is scheduled to mature onApril 9, 2022 and has a 1.00% interest rate. OnApril 27, 2020 , InterGroup entered into a loan agreement ("SBA Loan - InterGroup") withCIBC Bank USA under the CARES Act and received loan proceeds in the amount of$453,000 . The SBA Loan - InterGroup is scheduled to mature onApril 27, 2022 and has a 1.00% interest rate. Both the SBA Loan - Justice and SBA Loan - InterGroup (collectively the "SBA Loans"), may be forgiven if the funds are used for payroll and other qualified expenses. The SBA Loans are subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by theU.S. Small Business Administration under the CARES Act. New guidance on the criteria for forgiveness continues to be released. In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, Justice and InterGroup will use proceeds from the SBA Loans primarily for payroll costs. We cannot presently estimate the full financial impact of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic on our business or predict the related federal, state and local civil authority actions, which are highly dependent on the severity and duration of the pandemic, but we expect that the COVID-19 closures and other imposed restrictions will continue to have a significant adverse impact on our results of operations. Due to the uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the indeterminate length of time it will affect the hospitality industry, we have taken proactive measures to secure our liquidity position to be able to meet our obligations for the foreseeable future, including implementing strict cost management measures to eliminate non-essential expenses, postponing capital expenditures, renegotiating certain reoccurring expenses, and temporarily closing certain hotel services and outlets. 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. 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 consolidated statements of operations. 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. We believe that our cash on hand, cash provided by the SBA loans and real estate refinancing, along with other potential aforementioned sources of liquidity that management may be able to obtain, will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs, as well as our capital lease and debt obligations for at least the next twelve months and beyond. 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 Interstate has the power and ability 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.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
Critical accounting policies are those that are most significant to the presentation 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 condensed 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 during the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 except for the adoption of ASU 2016-02. Please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedJune 30, 2019 for a summary of the critical accounting policies.
