Management believes that its cash, marketable securities, and the cash flows generated from thoserecognize lease assets and fromlease liabilities on the partnership management fees, will be adequate to meet the Company’s currentbalance sheet and future obligations. Additionally, management believes thererequires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements.

We currently anticipate adoptingnot apply the new standard effectivein the comparative periods they present in their financial statements in the year of adoption. Effective July 1, 2019. The new standard also permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method). The Company currently anticipates adopting the standard2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective method. Whileapproach provided by ASU 2018-11. We elected certain practical expedients permitted under the Company is still intransition guidance, including the processelection to carryforward historical lease classification. We also elected the short-term lease practical expedient, which allowed us to not recognize leases with a term of completingless than twelve months on our consolidated balance sheets.

Management is required to provide certain footnote disclosures if it concludes that substantial doubt exists or when its plans alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

AsCOVID-19 pandemic has had a result, a provisional net charge of $879,000 was included inmaterial detrimental impact on our liquidity. For the income tax expense for the quartersix months ended December 31, 2017.2020, our net cash flow used in operations was $17,032,000. For the six months ended December 31, 2019, our net cash flow provided by operations was $2,429,000. We have taken several steps to preserve capital and increase liquidity at our Hotel, 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.

In June 2020, InterGroup refinanced one of its California properties and generated net proceeds of $1,144,000. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, InterGroup completed refinancing on two of its California properties and generated net proceeds of $4,327,000. In January 2021, InterGroup refinanced an additional California property and generated net proceeds of $1,057,000. InterGroup is currently evaluating other refinancing opportunities and it could refinance additional multifamily properties should the need arise, or should management consider the interest rate environment favorable. InterGroup has an uncollateralized $8,000,000 revolving line of credit from CIBC Bank USA (“CIBC”) and the entire $8,000,000 is available to be drawn down as of December 31, 2020 should additional liquidity be necessary. On August 28, 2020, Santa Fe sold its 27-unit apartment complex located in Santa Monica, California for $15,650,000 and realized a gain on the sale of approximately $12,043,000. Santa Fe will manage its federal and state income tax liability, and anticipates the utilization of its available net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Santa Fe received net proceeds of $12,163,000 after selling costs and repayment of InterGroup’s RLOC of $2,985,000 as InterGroup had drawn on its RLOC in July 2018 to pay off the previous Fannie Mae mortgage on the property. Furthermore, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement between Santa Fe and InterGroup, Santa Fe paid InterGroup $662,000 from the sale. Santa Fe will not seek a replacement property.

As the sole general partner of Justice that controls approximately 96.6% of the voting interest in the Partnership, Portsmouth has the ability to amend the partnership agreement to allow for capital calls to the limited partners of Justice if needed. The majority of any capital calls will be met by Portsmouth. Portsmouth will have financing availability, upon the authorization of the respective board of directors, to borrow from InterGroup and/or Santa Fe to meet any capital calls and its other obligations during the next twelve months and beyond. On August 28, 2020, the Board of InterGroup and Santa Fe passed resolutions, respectively, to provide funding to Portsmouth if necessary. 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 from its current loan balance of $3,000,000 due to InterGroup. On December 31, 2020, InterGroup advanced $700,000 to Justice per the aforementioned agreement. The Partnership is also allowed to seek additional loans and sell partnership interests. Upon the consent of the general partner and a super majority in interest, the Partnership may sell additional classes or series of units of the Partnership under certain conditions in order to raise additional capital.

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 and low revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) 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, 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.

The following table provides a summary as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s material financial obligations which also includes interest payments.

Other operating departments  53,000   360,000 
Total hotel revenue $6,534,000  $30,330,000 

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.
Noncancelable 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 endingor 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, 2020 and June 30, 2018.2020 other than trade and other receivables, net on our condensed 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.

-12-

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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities decreased to $221,000 as of December 31, 2020, from $375,000 as of June 30, 2020. The decrease for the six months ended December 31, 2020 was primarily driven by $154,000 of revenue recognized and refunds issued to guests as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

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 and lease agreements do not extend beyond one year.

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 and holds less than 20% ownership in each of the 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.

NOTE 710 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

 

The Company follows Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which addresses accounting for equity-based compensation arrangements, including employee stock options and restricted stock units.

 

Please refer to Note 16 – Stock Based Compensation Plans in the Company'sCompany’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 20172020 for more detaildetailed information on the Company’s stock-based compensation plans.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 20172020 and 2016,2019, the Company recorded stock option compensation cost of $60,000$5,000 and $66,000,$9,000, respectively, related to stock options that were previously issued. ForDuring the six months ended December 31, 20172020 and 2016,2019, the Company recorded stock option compensation cost of $122,000$10,000 and $140,000,$17,000, respectively, related to stock options that were previously issued. As of December 31, 2017,2020, there was a total of $181,000$8,000 of unamortized compensation related to stock options which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.901.17 years.

-16-

In December 2018, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, John V. Winfield exercised 26,805 vested Incentive Stock Options by surrendering 17,439 shares of the Company’s common stock at fair value as payment of the exercise price, resulting in a net issuance to him of 9,366 shares. No additional compensation expense was recorded related to the issuance.

On February 25, 2020, shareholders of the Company voted in favor of amendments to the Company’s 2010 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan (the “2010 Incentive Plan”) which would amend Section 1.3 of the 2010 Incentive Plan to extend the term from ten (10) years to sixteen (16) years, and Section 6.4 of the 2010 Incentive Plan to change “tenth (10th) anniversary date” to “twentieth (20th) anniversary date”. This would increase the term of the 2010 Incentive Plan to 20 years (expiring in February 2030 instead of February 2020) and also permit the existence of options with a term longer than ten years. The purpose of the amendment to the term is to extend its existence as our only equity incentive plan. The purpose of amendment of the allowable term of options is so that the Board may extend the term of the 100,000 options granted to John Winfield on March 16, 2010 from ten years to sixteen years so that these options will terminate on March 16, 2026 instead of on March 16, 2020, in recognition of Mr. Winfield’s contributions to and leadership of our Company. Upon approval of these amendments by the shareholders, our Board of Directors extended the term of Mr. Winfield’s options as described in this paragraph. As a result of extending Mr. Winfield’s options, the Company recorded stock option compensation cost of $116,000 in March 2020.

 

Option-pricing models require the input of various subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The expected stock price volatility is based on analysis of the Company’s stock price history. The Company has selected to use the simplified method for estimating the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. No dividend yield is included as the Company has not issued any dividends and does not anticipate issuing any dividends in the future.

NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF CIVIL AUTHORITY ACTIONS ON OUR BUSINESS

On February 25, 2020, the City of San Francisco issued the proclamation by the Mayor declaring the existence of a local emergency. The negative effects of the civil authority actions related to the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) on our business have been significant. In March 2020, the World 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, on March 16, 2020, the City and County of San Francisco, along with a group of five other Bay Area counties and the City of Berkeley, issued parallel health officer orders imposing shelter in place limitations across the Bay Area, requiring everyone to stay safe at home except for certain essential needs. Since February 2020, several unfavorable events and civil authority actions have unfolded causing demand for our hotel rooms to suffer including cancellations of all citywide conventions, reduction of flights in and out of the Bay Area and decline in both leisure and business travel.

In December 2020, due to the surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, the Health Officer of the City and County of San Francisco (the “County”) has suspended or restricted certain activities. Health Order C19-07q (the “Order”) incorporates suspensions, reductions in capacity limits, and other restrictions contained in the Regional Stay At Home Order issued by the California Department of Public Health on December 3, 2020. Effective December 17, 2020, the Bay Area Region, including San Francisco, is required to comply with the State’s December 3, 2020 Regional Stay-at-Home Order. The Order strongly discourages anyone in the County from travelling for leisure, recreation, business or other purposes that can be postponed until after the current surge. With limited exceptions, this Order imposed a mandatory quarantine on anyone traveling, moving, or returning to the County from anywhere outside the Bay Area. Effective January 20, 2021, Health Order C19-07r revised and replaced the previous Order; it continues to temporarily prohibit certain businesses and activities from resuming but allows certain other businesses, activities, travel and governmental functions to occur subject to specified health and safety restrictions, limitations, and conditions to limit the transmission of COVID-19. The Mayor announced on January 25, 2021 that hotels and lodging may accept reservations for tourist use from in-state and out of state guests. Out of Bay Area guests are required to quarantine for 10 days and must make a reservation for 10 days or longer in order to do so. Indoor gyms, meeting rooms, ballrooms and dining must remain closed, though outdoor dining can resume. 

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. By the end of March 2020, we had temporarily closed all of our food and beverage outlets, valet parking, concierge and bell services, fitness center, as well as the executive lounge facility. We continue to implement social distancing standards and cleaning processes designed by Interstate and Hilton 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 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. 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 of the date of this report, the effects of the pandemic continue to affect our economy, business and leisure travel, and our needs to continue to curtail certain revenue generating activities at the Hotel, and until there are vaccines or other methodologies to effectively combat this pandemic, we expect that the effects will have a material adverse effect on our business.

As a result of the CARES Act signed into law on March 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 the Small 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. 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. On April 9, 2020, Justice entered into a loan agreement (“SBA Loan - Justice”) with CIBC Bank USA under the CARES Act. The Partnership received proceeds of $4,719,000 from the SBA Loan - Justice. In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, Justice has used proceeds from the loan primarily for payroll costs. As of December 31, 2020, Justice had used all proceeds of the SBA Loan - Justice in qualified expenses. The SBA Loan - Justice is scheduled to mature on April 9, 2022 and has a 1.00% interest rate. On April 27, 2020, InterGroup entered into a loan agreement (“SBA Loan - InterGroup”) with CIBC Bank USA under the CARES Act and received loan proceeds in the amount of $453,000. As of December 31, 2020, InterGroup had used all of the $453,000 loan proceeds in qualified payroll expenses. The SBA Loan – InterGroup is scheduled to mature on April 27, 2022 and has a 1.00% interest rate. All payments of principal and interests are deferred until July 2021, and the repayment obligations under both 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 the U.S. Small Business Administration under the CARES Act. All unforgiven portion of the principal and accrued interest will be due at maturity. As of December 31, 2020, Justice and InterGroup have each submitted its application for full loan forgiveness.

To fund the redemptionOur known short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of limited partnership interestsfunds necessary to pay for operating and to repay the prior mortgage of $42,940,000, Justice obtained a $97,000,000 mortgage loanother expenditures, including management and a $20,000,000 mezzanine loan.

Beginning in February 2017, the loan began to amortize over a thirty-year period thru its maturity date. As additional security for the mortgage loan, there is a limited guaranty executed by the Company in favor of mortgage lender.

Despite an uncertain economy, the Hotel has continued to generate strong revenue growth. While the debt service requirements related the loans and the legal settlement may create some additional risks for the Company and its ability to generate cash flows in the future, management believes that cash flows from the operationscapital improvements of the Hotel and the garageour real estate properties. We will continue to be sufficient to meet all offinance our business activities primarily with existing cash, including from the Partnership’s currentactivities described above, and future obligations and financial requirements.

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.

Management believes that its cash marketable securities, and the cash flows generated from those assetsour operations. After considering our approach to liquidity and fromaccessing our available sources of cash, we believe that our cash position, after giving effect to the partnership management fees,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 Company’sdate of issuance of these financial statements, even if current levels of low occupancy and future obligations. Additionally,low revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) were to persist. The objectives of our cash management believespolicy are to maintain existing leverage levels and the availability of liquidity, while minimizing operational costs. We believe that our cash on hand, 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 is significant appreciated value in the Hotel property to support additional borrowings, if necessary.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 PrismInterstate 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'sCompany’s income is not viewed by management as material.

 

The Company'sCompany’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 six months ended December 31, 2017.2020. Please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 20172020 for a summary of the critical accounting policies.

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

 

As statedThere have been no changes in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017, we identified a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting related to our deferred income taxes and income tax expense during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we hired new tax CPA specialist to perform detailed analysis which was completed for the year ended June 30, 2017. We also assigned our audit committee with oversight responsibilities. The Company has taken steps to remediate the material weakness and improved its internal control over financial reporting during the last quarterly period

covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Exhibits.OTHER INFORMATION

As of November 25, 2020, a group of less than ten shareholders of Santa Fe Financial Corporation approved a Corporate Action to distribute the assets of that company and then liquidate the corporate entity. The Corporate Action was approved by the holders of approximately 87.4% of the total issued and outstanding voting capital stock of that company entitled to vote on matters submitted to the holders of common stock as of that record date.

The terms of the dissolution are:

 

The assets of that company consist of:

505,437 shares of Portsmouth Square, Inc. common stock with a per share price of $41.00 as of January 15, 2021

Cash in the approximate amount of $6.0 million (net of income taxes paid)

On the 20th calendar day following the date of mailing of the definitive information statement on Schedule 14C which was filed with the SEC on January 22, 2021, the holder of each share of Santa Fe common stock will receive .38 of a share of Portsmouth common stock and the amount of cash in the Company divided by 1,339,310 (the number of issued and outstanding shares of Santa Fe common stock).Subsequent to when the cash of the Company shall be distributed to all shareholders, net of tax liabilities, on a pro rata basis based upon number of shares of common stock of the Company owned by each shareholder on the date of liquidation pursuant to the plan of liquidation and dissolution. With respect thereto, when the Company stockholders will receive 0.38 shares of Portsmouth stock for each share of Company stock owned, they will receive cash in lieu of fractional Portsmouth shares.
Santa Fe shall file a final U.S. Corporate Income Tax Return for the period ending on the date of liquidation, as well as file Form 966, Corporate Dissolution or Liquidation,” within 30 days of the liquidation.
However, with respect to third party shareholders, the transaction is expected to be treated as a taxable liquidation under section 331 of the IRS Code. Therefore, Santa Fe is expected to recognize built-in gain or loss on the assets distributed third party shareholders under Section 336 of the Code, and the third-party shareholders are expected to recognize gain or loss on the cancellation of their shares equal to the difference between the fair market value of the assets received and their stock basis in Santa Fe. To the extent third party shareholders include non-U.S. persons, these shareholders are not expected to be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless Santa Fe is considered a U.S. real property holding corporation (“USRPHC”) under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act within five years preceding the date of the liquidation. A U.S. corporation is generally considered a USRPHC if at least 50 percent of its assets includes “U.S. Real Property Interests.” If Santa Fe is considered a USRPHC, then it is responsible for withholding 15% of the amount realized by the non-U.S. SHs on the liquidation.
