                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
     ---------------------------------------------------------
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Portsmouth
Square, Inc. (the "Company"), without audit, according to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information 
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements 
reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which included only 
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial 
position 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 and the notes therein included in the 
Company's Form 10-K.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal 
year ending December 31, 1996.

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standard No. 121,  (Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived 
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of).  The adoption of the 
new standard had no effect on the financial statements.

2.   Litigation
     ----------

On March 26, 1996, a suit was filed in the San Francisco Superior Court 
against the Company and more than 60 other defendants alleging injuries 
suffered by the plaintiff as a result of exposure to asbestos containing 
materials.  The Company is named among the "premises defendants" as opposed 
to the "manufacturing/distributing defendants".  The Complaint seeks an 
unspecified amount of damages.  The Company is being defended through its 
insurance carrier under a reservation of rights.  Based on currently 
available facts, it is impossible to estimate the amount of the Company's 
liability, if any, at this time.

Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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 "estimate," "project," "anticipate" and similar expressions, are
intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements are subject
to certain risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and in
the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, that 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 portions of the Form 10-K 
referred to in this paragraph are expressly incorporated herein by reference.
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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Registrant's major source of revenue continues to be its 49.8% investment in
Justice Investors, a limited partnership, which derives the majority of its
income from a lease with Holiday Inn and a lease with Evon Garage Corporation.
The Company also derives revenue from the investment of its cash and securities
assets.


Quarter Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 1995

Comparison of the second quarter results of 1996 to the second quarter of 1995 
shows that total revenues increased 12.3%, expenses increased approximately
75.3%, income before taxes increased 2.1% and net income increased 2.1%.  
The increase in total revenues reflects a decline in expenses at the 
partnership level, primarily attributable to the refinancing of the hotel 
asset in 1995, and an increase in garage revenues. The increase in total 
revenues also reflects an increase in fees received by the Company from the 
partnership.  The increase in expenses is primarily attributable to higher 
costs associated with the Company's annual meeting this year and the payment 
of director's fees during the quarter to both incoming and outgoing directors.


Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

Comparison of the results of operations for the first six months of 1996 
to the first six months of 1995, reveals that total revenues increased 10.8%,
expenses increased approximately 26.1%, income before taxes increased 8.3% 
and net income increased 8.3%.  The increase in total revenues reflects a 
decline in expenses at the partnership level, primarily attributable to the
refinancing of the hotel asset in 1995, and an increase in garage revenues.  
The increase in expenses is attributable to higher costs associated with the
Company's annual meeting this year and the payment of director's fees during
the second quarter to both incoming and outgoing directors.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS--CONTINUED

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY 

At June 30, 1996, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities of $1,143,476, after the payment of a cash dividend equal to $.40 
per common share during the first quarter.

The Company remains liquid with a current ratio of 31 to 1.  Management 
believes that its capital resources are currently adequate to meet its short 
and long term obligations.  The Company is diversifying its investment of its
cash assets in an effort to obtain an overall higher yield while seeking to 
minimize the associated increased degree of risk.  The Company may also make 
limited investments in equities when deemed appropriate.

At its July 25, 1996 meeting of its Board of Directors, the Company declared 
a regular dividend of $.25 per common share which will be paid on 
September 3, 1996 to shareholders of record as of August 12, 1996.
