NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For the six months ended December 31, 1999
1. General:
The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however,
in the opinion of The InterGroup Corporation (the "Company"), the interim
financial information contains all adjustments, including normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly the results for the interim period.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the Company's June
30, 1999 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
The Company owns approximately 52% of the common stock of Santa Fe Financial
Corporation ("Santa Fe"), a public company (Nasdaq SmallCap: SFEF). Santa
Fe's revenue is primarily generated through its 68.1% interest in Portsmouth
Square, Inc. ("PSI"), which derives its revenue primarily through its 49.8%
interest in Justice Investors ("Justice"), a limited partnership. Justice
owns the land, improvements and leaseholds known as the Holiday Inn Financial
District/Chinatown, a 566-room hotel in San Francisco, California.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements as of
December 31, 1998 and for the three and six months then ended to conform with
the current quarter presentation.
2. Investment in Real Estate
In November 1999, the Company completed the purchase of a 190-unit multi-
family apartment complex located in Austin, Texas for $4,150,000 in a 1031
tax-deferred exchange with the Middleton, Ohio property, which was sold in
July 1999.
In November 1999, the Company completed the purchase of the 14-unit and 9-unit
multi-family apartment complexes located in Los Angeles, California for
$1,675,000 and $2,150,000, respectively. The purchases were performed to
complete the 1031 tax-deferred exchange with the 22.4 acres of unimproved land
located St. Louis, Missouri which was sold in September 1999.
3. Marketable Securities:
Marketable securities are stated at market value as determined by the most
recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. In recent
months, the Company has increased the turnover of its investment portfolio
and engaged in increased trading activities designed to maximize the overall
return on investment activities in the near term. This has resulted in portions
of the Company's investments in marketable securities being classified as
"trading" as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. After
consultation with the Investment Committee of the Board of Directors, management
has determined that the classification of the entire portfolio as trading
beginning July 1, 1999 would be more consistent with the Company's overall
investment objectives and activities. As a result, beginning July 1, 1999, all
unrealized gains and losses on the Company's investment portfolio will be
recorded through the statement of operations. For the six months ended
December 31, 1999, the Company recognized a net unrealized gain of $13,467,000
relating to the reclassification of all available-for-sale securities to trading
securities.
4. Investment in Justice Investors:
The consolidated accounts include a 49.8% interest in Justice Investors
("Justice"), a limited partnership. Justice owns the land, improvements and
leasehold known as the Financial District Holiday Inn, a 566-room hotel in San
Francisco, California. Portsmouth is both a limited and general partner in
Justice and records its investment in Justice on the equity basis.

5. Commitments and Contingencies:
On February 22, 1995, the Company was named as a defendant in a shareholders'
derivative suit filed against Santa Fe and certain directors of Santa Fe,
arising out of the Company's investment in Santa Fe. On December 31, 1996, a
final judgment was entered in favor of the Company. On June 9, 1997, the
Company was awarded $296,000 in attorneys' fees and costs as a prevailing
party in that litigation. That award was made effective as of April 25, 1997
and bears interest at the statutory rate of 10%. On December 15, 1999, the
California Supreme Court entered an order denying review of the Court of
Appeal's Opinion affirming the award of attorneys' fees in favor of the
Company. That judgment is now final and the Company is now in a position to
make further application to the trial court for an award of attorneys' fees
and costs expended in its successful defense of that judgment on appeal. On
January 21, 2000, the Court of Appeal also affirmed an award of attorneys'
fees and costs in favor of the director defendants and Santa Fe in the amount
of $936,000, plus interest. It is not known at this time whether plaintiffs
will seek further appellate review of that decision. The Company will record
the award when received.
The Company is a defendant or co-defendant in various other legal actions
involving various claims incident to the conduct of its business. Most of
these claims are covered by insurance. Management does not anticipate the
Company to suffer any material liability by reason of such actions.
<PAGE> 9
6. Related Party Transactions:
The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, John V. Winfield, directs
the investment activity of the Company in public and private markets pursuant
to authority granted by the Board of Directors. Mr. Winfield also serves as
Chief Executive Officer of Santa Fe and Portsmouth and directs the investment
activity of those companies. Effective April 1, 1998, an employee of
InterGroup was assigned to manage the portfolios of Santa Fe and Portsmouth in
consultation with Mr. Winfield. Santa Fe and Portsmouth reimburse InterGroup
for an allocated portion of the compensation and benefits of such employee.
Depending on certain market conditions and various risk factors, the Chief
Executive Officer, his family, Santa Fe and Portsmouth may, at times, invest
in the same companies in which the Company invests. The Company encourages
such investments because it places personal resources of the Chief Executive
Officer and his family members, and the resources of Portsmouth and Santa Fe,
at risk in connection with investment decisions made on behalf of the Company.
Three of the Company's Directors serve as directors of Santa Fe and four of
the Company's Directors serve on the Board of Portsmouth.
7. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of commons shares
outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the
computation of basic earnings per share except that the weighted-average
number of common shares is increased to include the number of additional
common shares that would have been outstanding if potential dilutive common
shares had been issued. The Company's only potentially dilutive common shares
are stock options. Stock options are included in diluted earnings per share
by application of the treasury stock method. Included in the diluted weighted
average number of common shares outstanding as of December 31, 1999 are
105,858 stock options.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND PROJECTIONS
The discussion below and elsewhere in this report includes forward-looking
statements about the future business results and activities of the Company,
which, by their very nature, involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
When used in this discussion, the words "estimate", "project", "anticipate"
and similar expressions, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, such
as changes in general economic conditions, local real estate markets, and
competition, as well as uncertainties relating to uninsured losses, securities
markets, and litigation, including those discussed below and in the Company's
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
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.
<PAGE> 10
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended December 31, 1999 compared to December 31, 1998
Income from real estate operations was $240,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1999 as compared to $2,480,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1998. The difference was primarily the result of a gain on sale
of real estate of $2,266,000 in the three months ended December 31, 1998,
while no sales of real estate occurred in the three months ended December 31,
1999. The decrease in rental revenue to $2,957,000 from $3,191,000 and the
decrease in rental expense to $2,717,000 from $2,977,000 for the period was
due to the sale of three properties in the quarter ended September 30, 1999,
partially offset by the purchase of significantly smaller properties in Los
Angeles, California and a property in Austin, Texas during the last two
quarters. In November 1999, the Company completed the purchase of the 14-unit
and 9-unit multi-family apartment complexes located in Los Angeles, California
for $1,675,000 and $2,150,000, respectively. The purchases were performed to
complete the 1031 tax-deferred exchange with the 22.4 acres of unimproved land
located St. Louis, Missouri which was sold in September 1999. In November
1999, the Company completed the purchase of a 190-unit multi-family apartment
complex located in Austin, Texas for $4,150,000 in a 1031 tax-deferred
exchange with the Middleton, Ohio property, which was sold in July 1999.
Property operating expenses also decreased due the reduction of management
costs as a result of managing the properties in-house.
Beginning July 1, 1999, all investment securities are classified as "trading"
as defined by generally accepted accounting principles with all unrealized
gains and losses on the Company's investment portfolio recorded through the
statement of operations. For the three months ended December 31, 1999, the
Company had net investment losses of $145,000 compared with net investment
losses of $2,350,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998. Net
investment losses were offset by the increase in dividend and interest income
to $348,000 from $74,000 for the period. The reduction in investment losses
is primarily due to the reclassification of all available-for-sale securities
to trading securities. Investment gains and losses on marketable securities
may fluctuate significantly from period to period in the future and could have
a meaningful effect on the Company's net earnings. However, the amount of
gains or losses on marketable securities for any given period may have no
predictive value and variations in amount from period to period may have no
analytical value.
The increase in dividend and interest income to $590,000 from $156,000
reflects management's efforts to reposition the Company's investment
portfolio. Margin interest, trading and management expenses increased to
$812,000 from $285,000 primarily due to an increase in margin interest expense
and trading expenses as a result of an increase in the size of the Company's
portfolio.
The increase in partnership income to $871,000 from $787,000 was primarily
attributable to an increase in hotel rental and garage rental income and a
decrease in partnership operating expenses.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $384,000 from $472,000 due to
the consolidation of certain accounting and administrative functions of Santa
Fe and Portsmouth to the Los Angeles, California offices of the Company.
Miscellaneous income increased to $1,068,000 from $83,000 primarily due to a
$1,000,000 settlement received in December 1999 related to a disputed claim
pertaining to certain royalty rights held by a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company.
<PAGE> 11
The provision for income taxes increased to $574,000 from $395,000 for the
period due to the increase in income.
Minority interest increased to $563,000 from $53,000 due to significantly
greater income generated by Santa Fe.
For the six months ended December 31, 1999 compared to December 31, 1998
Income from real estate operations for the six months ended December 31, 1999
was $8,216,000 compared to $2,557,000 for the six months ended December 31,
1998. That increase was primarily attributable to the sale of three
properties located in St. Louis, Missouri, Middletown, Ohio and Cincinnati,
Ohio, respectively, for a cumulative net gain of $7,628,000. The decrease in
the rental revenue to $5,799,000 from $6,526,000 and the decrease in rental
expense to $5,211,000 from $6,235,000 was primarily due to the sales of the
three properties in the quarter ended September 30, 1999 and the sale of two
properties located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and San Antonio, Texas, in
October 1998 and April 1999. The decrease in rental expenses was partially
offset by the acquisition of four significantly smaller apartment complexes
located in Los Angeles, California and an apartment complex located in Austin
Texas during the last two quarters. Property operating expenses also decreased
due to the reduction of management costs as a result of managing the
properties in-house.
Beginning July 1, 1999, all investment securities are classified as "trading"
as defined by generally accepted accounting principles with all unrealized
gains and losses on the Company's investment portfolio recorded through the
statement of operations. For the six months ended December 31, 1999, the
Company recognized a net unrealized gain of $13,467,000 relating to the
reclassification of all available-for-sale securities to trading securities.
The increase in net gains from marketable securities to $13,082,000 compared
to the net loss of $2,853,000 is primarily due to the reclassification
discussed above. Gains and losses on marketable securities may fluctuate
significantly from period to period in the future and could have a meaningful
effect on the Company's net earnings. However, the amount of gains or losses
on marketable securities for any given period may have no predictive value and
variations in amount from period to period may have no analytical value.
The increase in dividend and interest income to $938,000 from $231,000
reflects management's efforts to reposition the Company's investment
portfolio. Margin interest, trading and management expenses increased to
$1,438,000 from $471,000 primarily due to an increase in margin interest
expense and trading expenses as a result of an increase in the size of the
Company's portfolio.
The increase in partnership income to $1,934,000 from $1,568,000 was primarily
attributable to an increase in hotel rental and garage rental income and a
decrease in partnership operating expenses.
Miscellaneous income/expense changed to income of $256,000 from an expense of
$881,000 primarily due to a $1,000,000 settlement received in December 1999
related to a disputed claim pertaining to certain royalty rights held by a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The provision for income taxes increased to $9,636,000 from $48,000 primarily
due to the significant increase in the gain on sale of real estate to
$8,216,000 from $2,557,000 and the increase income from investment
transactions to $14,516,000 from $1,525,000.

Minority interest increased to $1,754,000 from $142,000 due to significantly
greater income generated by Santa Fe. For the six months ended December 31,
1999, Santa Fe had net income of $3,376,000 compared to a net income of
$125,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1998. The increase in net
income from Santa Fe is primarily due to the recognition of a net unrealized
gain of $4,114,000 related to the reclassification of all available-for-sale
securities to trading securities.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
The Company's cash flows are generated primarily from its real estate
activities, sales of investment securities and borrowings related to both.
The Company used net cash flow of $4,534,000 for operating activities, used
net cash flow of $16,455,000 from investing activities and generated net cash
flow of $22,081,000 from financing activities during the six months ended
December 31, 1999.
During the six months ended December 31, 1999, the Company received proceeds
from the sale of real estate of $11,524,000 from the sale of 22.4 acres of
unimproved land located in Missouri and two apartment complexes located in
Ohio. The majority of the proceeds from the sale of real estate were used to
purchase three multi-family apartment complexes in Los Angeles, California and
one apartment complex in Austin, Texas totaling $13,418,000. Related to the
purchases of real estate, the Company obtained mortgages totaling $8,041,000.
The Company also made principal payments of $3,887,000 and paid-off a
$2,000,000 line of credit during the six months ended December 31, 1999.
Management will pursue refinancing activities as considered necessary or when
deemed economically favorable to the Company.
During the six months ended December 31, 1999, the Company made property
improvements in the aggregate amount of $446,000. Management believes the
improvements to the properties should enhance market values, maintain the
competitiveness of the Company's properties and potentially enable the Company
to obtain a higher yield through higher rents.
Marketable securities increased $22,101,000 during the six months ended
December 31, 1999. The increase was primarily financed through the use of
margin and proceeds received from the writing of options.
The Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase, from time to time,
of up to 333,000 shares(adjusted for two stock splits) of its Common Stock.
Such repurchases may be made at the discretion of management and depending
upon market conditions. During the six months ended December 31, 1999, the
Company acquired 41,200 shares of its Common Stock for $490,000.
At December 31, 1999, the Company's had current assets of $80,496,000, which
consists of cash, marketable securities, prepaid expenses and other assets.
The Company remains liquid and management believes that its capital resources
are currently adequate to meet its short and long-term obligations.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
All of the Company's critical computer software and hardware are currently
year 2000 compliant. The Company incurred approximately $60,000 in expenses for
consultants, software and hardware applications to achieve year 2000
compliance.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The following is furnished to update information previously reported in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999
and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended
September 30, 1999.
Guinness Peat Group plc, et al. v. Robert N. Gould, et al., Case No. 685760,
filed on February 22, 1995 in the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County of San Diego. As previously reported, the trial court entered
summary judgment in favor of the Company on December 31, 1996. That summary
judgment, including a subsequent award of attorneys' fees and costs in favor
of the Company in the amount of $296,000, plus interest at the statutory rate
of 10%, was appealed by plaintiffs. On December 15, 1999, the California
Supreme Court entered an order denying review of the Court of Appeal's Opinion
affirming the award of attorneys' fees in favor of the Company. That judgment
is now final and the Company is now in a position to make further application
to the trial court for an award of attorneys' fees and costs expended in its
successful defense of that judgment on appeal. On January 21, 2000, the Court
of Appeal also affirmed an award of attorneys' fees and costs in favor of the
director defendants and Santa Fe in the amount of $936,000, plus interest. It
is not known at this time whether plaintiffs will seek further appellate
review of that decision.
Howard A. Jaffe v. The InterGroup Corporation, et al., Case No. BC188323,
filed on March 28, 1998 in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. As
previously reported, plaintiff filed an appeal from an order denying his
motion to disqualify the law firm representing the Company and its Chairman
and President. The filing of that appeal resulted in a stay of all trial
court proceedings in that wrongful termination action. On January 6, 2000,
the Court of Appeal issued an opinion affirming the trial court's order.
Counsel for plaintiff has indicated that he will not seek further appellate
review of that decision.
7709 Lankershim Ltd. v. Carreon Villa Apartments I, et al., Riverside County
Superior Court Case No. 088325 was filed on March 27, 1996 against the Company
and others. The insurance carrier has determined that it will provide for the
defense of this action on behalf of the Company and the Carreon entities under
a reservation of rights. Mediation has been scheduled for February 17, 2000
in that construction defect action.
The Company is a defendant or co-defendant in various other legal actions
involving various claims incident to the conduct of its business. Most of
these claims are covered by insurance. Management does not anticipate the
Company to suffer any material liability by reason of such actions.
