                      PORTSMOUTH SQUARE, INC.

                   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.

On May 16, 2000, the Board of Directors of Portsmouth approved a change in the
fiscal year end of the Company from December 31 to June 30.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements as of
September 30, 1999 and for the three months then ended to conform to the current
quarter presentation.

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-KSB for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year
ending June 30, 2001.


2.  Investment in Justice Investors
    -------------------------------

The Company's principal source of revenue continues to be derived from its 49.8%
interest in the Justice Investors limited partnership ("Justice Investors").
Portsmouth serves as one of the two general partners of Justice Investors. The
partnership derives most of its income from a lease of its San Francisco,
California hotel property to Felcor Lodging Trust, Inc. ("Felcor") and from a
lease with Evon Garage Corporation ("Evon"). Portsmouth records its investment
on the equity basis.

Marketable securities are stated at market value as determined by the most
recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date.  Marketable
securities are classified as trading with net unrealized gains or losses
included in earnings. Included in net gains on marketable securities of
$419,888 are net realized losses of $28,171 and net unrealized gains of
$448,059.

4. Related Party Transactions
   --------------------------

Certain shared costs and expenses, primarily administrative salaries, rent and
insurance are allocated among the Company, the Company's parent, Santa Fe
Financial Corporation ("Santa Fe"), and The InterGroup Corporation
("InterGroup"), parent of Santa Fe, based on management's estimate of the pro
rata utilization of resources.  For the three months ended September 30, 2000,
these expenses were approximately $27,384.

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 InterGroup and directs the investment
activity of those companies.  Depending on certain market conditions and
various risk factors, the Chief Executive Officer, his family, Santa Fe and
InterGroup 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 Santa Fe and InterGroup, at risk in connection with investment
decisions made on behalf of the Company.  Four of the Company's Directors serve
as directors of InterGroup and three of the Company's Directors serve on the
Board of Santa Fe.

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 partnership distributions,
general economic conditions of the hotel industry in the San Francisco area,
securities markets, litigation and other factors, including natural disasters,
and those discussed below and in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, 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
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

The Company's principal sources of revenue continue to be derived from its 49.8%
interest in the Justice Investors limited partnership and income received from
the investment of its cash and securities assets.  The partnership derives most
of its income from a lease of its hotel property to Felcor and from a lease with
Evon.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months
Ended September 30, 1999

Net income for the Company increased to $948,902 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 from $442,258 for the three months ended September 30, 1999.
The increase in net income was due to the increase in total revenues to
$1,709,562 from $1,037,457 offset by a modest increase in costs and expenses to
$190,961 from $156,513.

The increase in total revenues to $1,709,562 from $1,037,457 was primarily due
to the increase in equity in net income from Justice and a significant increase
in net investment gains on marketable securities.  The increase in equity in net
income of Justice Investors to $1,205,632 from $1,063,272 was primarily
attributable to the increase in the average daily room rate and an increase in
occupancy of the hotel during the current quarter. The increase in net
investment gains to $419,888 from net losses of $76,928 was due to management's
efforts to reposition the investment portfolio. Gains and losses on marketable
securities may fluctuate significantly from period to period in the future and
could have a significant impact on the Company's net income.  However, the
amount of gain or loss 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.

                                -10-

Dividend and interest income increased to $68,845 from $44,158 as a result of
management investing in more income producing instruments.

The increase in margin interest and trading expenses to $78,034 from $55,217
was due to the maintenance of higher margin balances during the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 and the increased size of the Company's portfolio.

Income taxes increased to $569,699 from $438,686 due to the increase in income.


LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

The Company's cash flows are primarily generated by the Company's investment in
the Justice Investors limited partnership, which derives the majority of its
income from its lease with Felcor and a lease with Evon. In addition to the
monthly limited partnership distributions it receives from Justice Investors,
the Company receives monthly management fees as a general partner.  The Company
also derives revenue from its investment of its cash and securities assets.

As a result of increases in the amount of rental income from the hotel lease,
and lower interest expenses due to the reduction in notes payable, the general
partners of Justice Investors decided to increase the monthly distribution to
limited partners effective with the September 1999 distribution.  As a result,
Portsmouth's monthly distribution increased to $209,160 from $139,440. The
increase in monthly distributions can be characterized as special distributions
and, at any time, unforeseen circumstances could dictate a change in the amount
distributed.  The general partners will continue to conduct an annual review and
analysis to determine an appropriate monthly distribution for the ensuing year.
At that time, the monthly distribution could be increased or decreased. During
the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Company received cash distributions of
$627,480 from Justice Investors.

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 statement of income.

As of September 30, 2000, the Company's current assets and current liabilities
were $8,753,424 and $5,305,859, respectively. Management believes that its
capital resources are currently adequate to meet its short and long-term
obligations.
