                               PART I

Item 1.  Description of Business.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
  
Santa Fe Financial Corporation ("Santa Fe" or the "Company") was incorporated 
under the name of Tri Financial Corporation in the State of Nevada on July 25,
1967 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crateo, Inc, a public company.  On 
October 31, 1969, Crateo issued a one-for-one stock dividend of all of its 
shares of Tri Financial to its common shareholders.  On September 17, 1970, 
the name of the Corporation was changed to Santa Fe Financial Corporation.

Since 1988, the Company's principal source of revenue has been, and continues 
to be, derived from the investment of its 67.2% owned subsidiary, Portsmouth 
Square, Inc. ("Portsmouth"), in the Justice Investors limited partnership 
("Justice Investors"). Portsmouth has a 49.8% limited partnership interest in 
Justice Investors and also serves as one of the two general partners.  The 
other general partner, Evon Garage Corporation ("Evon"), acts as the managing 
general partner.  There are approximately 91 limited partners in Justice 
Investors.

On December 31, 1997, the Company expanded its operations to include 
multifamily real property when it acquired a controlling 55.4% equity interest 
in Intergroup Woodland Village, Inc. ("Woodland Village"), a 100-unit 
apartment complex located in Cincinnati, Ohio. 

On May 5, 1988, the Company's Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock 
split of the Company's $.10 par value Common Stock in the form of a stock 
dividend.  The stock dividend was paid on June 15, 1998 to shareholders of 
record as of May 22, 1998. 

BUSINESS OF ISSUER

The Company's principal business is conducted through its subsidiary's general 
and limited partnership interest in Justice Investors.  Justice Investors owns 
the land improvements and leaseholds at 750 Kearny Street, San Francisco, 
California commonly known as the Holiday Inn Financial District/Chinatown 
("Holiday"). The most significant income source is a lease between the 
partnership and Felcor Lodging Trust, Inc.  ("Felcor, NYSE: FCH) for the hotel 
portion of the property.  The partnership also derives income from its lease 
of the garage portion of the property to Evon.  As a general partner, 
Portsmouth has become more active in monitoring the operations of the hotel 
and the parking garage as part of its effort to improve revenues. 

The Company's operations also includes a controlling interest in a 100 unit 
apartment complex.  The Company also derives income from the investment of its 
cash and securities assets.  The Company has invested in income-producing 
instruments, equity and debt securities and will consider other investments if 
such an investment will offer growth or profit potential.

COMPETITION

The hotel enjoys a favorable year-round occupancy rate and is part of 
Holiday's worldwide reservation system.  It was designed to Holiday's 
specifications to serve both business persons and tourists and caters to both 
individuals and tour groups.  It also handles conference and meeting business, 
having meeting and dining facilities for groups of up to 400 people. 
Management believes that the hotel, garage and apartments are in a competitive 

<PAGE> 4

position in their respective markets; however, some competitors may have 
better financial resources and newer facilities.  The Company intends, where
appropriate, to continue in its efforts to find ways to improve the physical 
condition of the hotel, garage and apartment properties to remain competitive. 

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 1998, the Company had two full-time employees and one 
part-time employee.  The employees are not part of any collective bargaining 
agreement, and the Company believes that its employee relations are 
satisfactory.


Item 2. Description of Property.

PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 1998, Santa Fe's investments in real property consisted 
of its 49.8% interest in Justice Investors through the Company's 67.2% owned 
subsidiary, Portsmouth, and its 55.4% owned subsidiary, Woodland Village.

San Francisco, California Hotel.

The San Francisco hotel property owned by Justice Investors is located near 
the Financial District, one block from the Transamerica Pyramid.  Embarcadero 
Center is within walking distance.  Chinatown is directly across the bridge 
that runs from the hotel to Portsmouth Square Park.  The hotel is a 
31-storied, steel and concrete, A-frame building which contains 566 guest 
rooms situated on 22 floors.  One floor houses the Chinese Culture Center 
pursuant to a long-term, nominal-rent lease, and three floors are devoted to a 
reservation desk, lobby shops, dining room, coffee shop, hotel support 
facilities, a fitness center, a guest business center, meeting and banquet 
rooms and offices.  Other features of the Holiday Inn include a rooftop 
swimming pool, 5-storied underground garage and pedestrian bridge across 
Kearny Street connecting the hotel and the Chinese Culture Center with 
Portsmouth Square Park in Chinatown.  The bridge, built and owned by the 
partnership, is included in the lease to the Chinese Culture Center.  

The property is subject to a first deed of trust securing a loan from Wells 
Fargo Bank.  As of December 31, 1998, the principal balance on the note was 
$2,604,686.  The loan provides for a maximum borrowing of $6.8 million and has 
the characteristics of a line of credit with certain decreasing maximum 
borrowings available at the end of each year.  The major portion of the debt 
is carried at LIBOR plus 2% and there is a monthly adjustment to that rate.  
The remainder of the debt is carried at the prime rate and also adjusted 
monthly.  

On March 15, 1995, an amended and restated lease was entered into by Justice 
Investors with an effective date of January 1, 1995.  That lease was assumed 
by Felcor, effective July 28, 1998.  The initial term of the new lease is for 
a 10-year term expiring on December 31, 2004. The lessee also has an option to 
renew the lease for one additional term of five years which would extend the 
lease to December 31, 2009.  The lease requires the lessee to pay an annual 
rent of the greater of twenty percent (20%) of gross room revenues or 
$2,500,000 plus fifty percent (50%) of total revenues from the demised 
premises less operating expenses, base rent and capital requirements.  

The lease also requires the lessee and Justice Investors to make substantial 
capital improvements and renovations to the hotel property.  A rehabilitation 
budget of more than $8 million was set forth in the new lease agreement, of 
which the partnership was responsible for $2 million and the lessee was 
responsible for the remainder.  As of December 31, 1998, the partnership had 
paid all of its $2 million commitment.  Rehabilitation and renovation of the 
<PAGE> 5

guest rooms, hallways, elevators and safety systems was substantially 
completed during 1998. Renovation of the lobby and other public areas 
commenced in December of 1998 and further improvements are expected to be made 
in the future  to meet standards for Holiday Inn Select hotels.  The financial 
responsibility for those improvements rests with Felcor.   

Under the terms of the lease, the lessee is responsible for all maintenance 
and repairs to the property, certain capital improvements, taxes and 
insurance.  In the opinion of management the property is adequately covered by 
insurance.

The garage lease between the partnership and Evon provides for a monthly 
rental of sixty percent (60%) of gross parking revenues with a minimum rent of 
$21,750 per month.  That lease expires in November 2010.  The lessee is 
responsible for insurance, repairs and maintenance, utilities and all taxes 
assessed against the improvements to the leased premises.  The garage is 
operated by Ampco Parking pursuant to a sublease agreement with Evon.


Cincinnati, Ohio Apartment Complex

The Cincinnati property, owned by the Company's 55.4% subsidiary Woodland 
Village, is a 100 unit apartment complex consisting of ten three-story 
buildings on approximately 5.8 acres.   The apartment complex is of brick and 
aluminum siding over wood frame construction and opened in 1970.  The 
Company's equity interest in Woodland Village was acquired on December 31, 
1997 at a cost of $858,600.  For the year ended December 31, 1998, real estate 
property taxes were approximately $105,000.  Depreciation is recorded on the 
straight-line method based upon an estimated useful life of 40 years.  The 
outstanding mortgage balance was $1,227,534 as of December 31, 1998 and the 
maturity date is July 1, 2004.

Woodland Village leases units in the apartment complex on a short-term basis, 
with no lease extending beyond one year.  The effective rental rate per rental 
unit was approximately $588 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the 
physical occupancy rate was approximately 96%.  Woodland Village uses a third 
party management company, with national operations, to manage the property. In 
the opinion of management the property is adequately covered by insurance.

INVESTMENT POLICIES     

The most significant real estate investment of the Company has been through 
its investment in Portsmouth.  The Company will continue to explore ways to 
increase the value of that investment and to improve operations of the 
underlying asset.  The Company has also invested in multifamily residential 
property through its controlling interest in Woodland Village.

The Company may also look for new real estate investment opportunities in 
hotels, apartments, office buildings and shopping centers.  The acquisition of 
any new real estate investments will depend on the Company's ability to find 
suitable investment opportunities and the availability of sufficient financing 
to acquire such investments.  To help fund any such acquisition, the Company 
plans to borrow funds to leverage its investment capital.  The amount of this 
mortgage debt will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited
to, the availability of financing and the sufficiency of the project's 
projected cash flows to support the operations and debt service.

The Company has also invested in income producing instruments, equity and debt 
securities, which may include interests in real estate based companies and 
REITs, where financial benefit could inure to its shareholders through income 
and/or capital gain. Those investments are made under the direction of the 
<PAGE> 6

Company's Chairman and President. The Company will primarily invest in 
securities priced above $5.00 a share of companies listed on the New York and 
American Stock Exchanges and the Nasdaq National Stock Market. Although most 
of the Company's investments in marketable securities are companies listed in 
major stock markets, the overall investment portfolio and some of the 
Company's investment strategies could be viewed as risky and the market values 
of the portfolio may be subject to large fluctuations.  The Company may 
realize gains and losses in its overall investment portfolio from time to time 
to take advantage of market conditions and/or manage the portfolio's resources 
and the Company's tax liability.  The Company may also assume short positions 
in marketable securities.  Short sales are used by the Company to potentially 
offset normal market risks undertaken in the course of its investing 
activities or to provide for additional return opportunities.  In addition, 
the Company may utilize margin for its marketable securities purchases through 
the use of standard margin agreements with national brokerage firms.  The use 
of available leverage is guided by the business judgment of management. 
   

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

On February 22, 1995, Guinness Peat Group plc and its wholly-owned subsidiary 
Allied Mutual Insurance Services Limited (collectively "GPG") filed a 
shareholders derivative suit in the Superior Court of the State of California 
for the County of San Diego (Case No. 685760) against the directors of Santa 
Fe, The InterGroup Corporation ("InterGroup") and Santa Fe as a nominal 
defendant.  The complaint alleged certain breaches of fiduciary duties by the 
directors in causing Santa Fe to enter into a December 20, 1994 Securities 
Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with InterGroup.  That Agreement was 
ratified by the Board on December 27, 1994 after receipt and review of an 
appraisal and fairness opinion from an independent valuation expert.

The complaint sought declaratory relief, rescission or reformation of the 
Agreement, injunctive relief and unspecified general and punitive damages.  
The director defendants requested indemnification from Santa Fe, including the 
advancement of costs for defense of the litigation to the full extent 
permitted by law, which was granted by the Company.

On April 14, 1995, the Superior Court granted motions by the director 
defendants and InterGroup requiring GPG to posts bonds to secure payment of 
their attorneys' fees should they prevail in the litigation.  The required 
bonds, totaling $800,000, were posted by GPG.

On July 3, 1997, the Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, Division One 
of the State of California granted the director defendants' petition for a 
writ of mandate and directed the trial court to vacate its prior order denying 
the director defendants' motion for summary judgment and to enter a new order 
granting the motion. The Court of Appeal's decision became final on August 2, 
1997; however, plaintiffs filed a petition for review to the California 
Supreme Court on August 12, 1997.  That petition was denied by the Supreme 
Court on October 15, 1997.

In its ruling, the Court of Appeal determined that the director defendants 
properly exercised their business judgment in connection with the Company 
entering into the Securities Purchase Agreement with InterGroup. That decision 
effectively disposed of the remaining liability claims brought by plaintiffs 
in this action. Previously, on December 31, 1996, the trial court entered a 
summary judgment in favor of InterGroup, ruling that there was no fraud in 
connection with that transaction.  That summary judgment, including a 
subsequent award of attorneys' fees and costs in favor of InterGroup in the 
amount of $295,964, has been appealed by GPG.
 
<PAGE> 7

As prevailing parties, the director defendants and the Company also made 
application to the Superior Court for recovery of the attorneys' fees and 
costs expended in their successful defense of this litigation.  On March 13, 
1998, the trial court confirmed a prior tentative ruling and granted the 
applications for attorneys' fees and costs in the total amount of $936,025.97.
On March 23, 1998, a judgment was entered in favor of the director defendants 
and the Company which made the award of costs and fees effective as of 
February 20, 1998.  That award bears interest at the statutory rate of 10% per 
annum.  The award of attorneys' fees and costs has been appealed by GPG.  


On May 30, 1996, the Company's 67.2%-owned subsidiary, Portsmouth, was served 
with a personal injury action entitled Taylor v. Raybestos-Manhattan et al., 
San Francisco Superior Court Case No. 977148.  The suit, which was filed on 
March 26, 1996, named more than 60 defendants, including Evon Garage 
Corporation, and alleged injuries suffered as a result of exposure to 
asbestos-containing materials.  The complaint sought an unspecified amount of 
damages including recovery for loss of income and medical expenses. Portsmouth 
was defended through its insurance carrier under a reservation of rights.  On 
September 16, 1997, the trial court granted Portsmouth's motion for summary 
judgment.  That judgment became final on April 13, 1998 and was not appealed.


 Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Shareholders.

No matters were submitted to a vote of shareholders during the fourth quarter

DIVIDENDS 
          
The Company has not paid any dividends since April 1996.  In July of 1996, the

dividend policy.

        
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

On December 31, 1997, the Company issued 31,800 shares of newly-created 6% 
cumulative convertible voting preferred stock (the Preferred Stock") to

result of the Company's two-for-one stock split of its Common Stock on June 
15, 1998, the number of Preferred Shares was adjusted to 63,800.  Each share 
of Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $13.50 and is convertible 
into one share of restricted common stock of the Company at an exercise price 
of $13.50 per share, with an eight year conversion exercise period.  The 
preferred stock has voting rights as if converted into common stock.  This 
private offering transaction was valued at $858,600 and was exempt from 
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.


Item 6. 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, 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 the 
investment of its 67.2% owned subsidiary, Portsmouth, in the Justice Investors 
limited partnership, rental income from its multi-family real estate property 
investment and income received from 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 Garage Corporation. 

Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997

Comparison of operating results for the year ended December 31, 1998 to the 
year ended December 31, 1997 shows a net loss of $379,824 as compared to net 
income of $591,349.  That result is primarily attributable to net losses on 
marketable securities of $1,813,378 and a write-down of certain investments of 
$307,665 offset by an increase partnership income from Justice Investors from
$2,560,805 to $3,021,878 and an increase in rental income of $620,154 from its 

<PAGE> 9

real estate investment. The net loss on marketable securities reflect 
management's continuing efforts to reposition the Company's investment 
portfolio by selling certain underperforming securities.  The increase in 
partnership income from Justice Investors is primarily attributable to a 13.3% 
increase in hotel rental income as a result of an increase in average daily 
room rate without significant reduction in the occupancy rates.  The increase 
in rental income was due to the acquisition of Woodland the consolidation of 
its revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998.  There were no revenues and 
expenses related to Woodland included in the consolidated income statements 
for 1997.

Realized 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 realized 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 practical analytical 
value.  

The 75.1% increase in costs and expenses from $1,176,706 to $2,060,038 is 
primarily attributable to property operating, mortgage interest, and 
depreciation expenses totaling $787,530 related to the consolidation of its 
investment in real estate, an increase in margin interest and investment 
related expenses from $134,298 to $355,120, an increase in professional and 
outside service fees from $175,270 to $252,204, offset by a decrease in 
litigation expenses related to GPG from $265,863 to $47,647.  The increase in 
expenses attributable Woodland Village was due to the first year consolidation 
of the property's revenues and expenses into the Company.  The increase in the 
margin interest and investment related expenses was due to the maintenance of 
a higher margin balance in the current year and greater investing activities. 
The increase in professional and outside service fees reflects the accrual for 
the annual audit and an increase in professional consulting fees related to 
the Company's investment activities.

Beginning July 1, 1998, certain accounting and administrative functions of the 
Company and its subsidiary, Portsmouth, were consolidated with the Los 
Angeles, California offices of the Intergroup Corporation, the parent company.  
Effective October 31, 1998, the Santa Fe and Portsmouth also terminated their 
office lease and moved to a much smaller space in an effort to reduce 
expenses.  


FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's cash flows are primarily generated by its subsidiary'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 also receives monthly management fees as a 
general partner.  The Company also derives revenue from its investment in a 
multi-family real estate property and the investment of its cash and 
securities assets.

As a result of increases in the amount of rental income from the hotel lease, 
the general partners of Justice Investors decided that there would be a 
special one-third increase in the monthly distribution to limited partners 
effective with the February 1997 distribution.  As a result, Portsmouth's 
monthly distribution increased to $139,440 from $109,580.  In February 1998, 
the general partners decided to continue monthly distributions at the higher 
monthly rate for another year.  The increases in monthly distributions were 
clearly identified 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

<PAGE> 10

an appropriate monthly distribution for the ensuing year.  At that time, the 
monthly distribution could be decreased or increased.  In addition, Portsmouth 
received $557,760 as its share of a special distribution paid to the limited 
partners on December 10, 1997 and $697,200 as its share of a special 
distribution paid on December 10, 1998.  Those additional distributions were 
also clearly identified as special, and the limited partners were informed 
that there was no guarantee that such distributions would continue, especially 
if the partnership was to participate financially in the future upgrading of 
the public areas of the hotel.  During 1998, the Company received 
distributions totaling $2,509,920 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 securities 
investments are classified as available-for-sale and trading.  Unrealized 
gains and losses, net of deferred taxes, are included in accumulated other 
comprehensive income.  As of December 31, 1998, the Company had a net 
unrealized gain on marketable securities, net of tax of $88,563, which 
consists of pre-tax unrealized gains of $5,155,891 and pre-tax unrealized 
losses of $5,008,101.

Certain securities may be classified as trading securities to correspond with 
obligations of the same securities sold short.  These securities and the 
related obligations are marked to market with unrealized holding gains and 
losses included in earnings.  Gross realized gains and losses related to 
trading securities totaled $2,267,071 and $36,153, respectively.

On August 14, 1998 the Company authorized a limited buy-back program of its 
Common Stock.  The Company may from time to time, in the discretion of 
management, buy back up to a total of 50,000 shares of its Common Stock, 
depending on market conditions and other factors consistent with corporate 
policy and as limited by state and federal law.  As of December 31, 1998, the 
Company had repurchased 33,324 of its shares in open market and private 
transactions for an aggregate amount of $313,966.

At December 31, 1998, the Company's current assets were $18,602,929.  The 
Company remains liquid and management believes that its capital resources are 
currently adequate to meet its short and long-term obligations.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

Since the Company's primary source of revenue is from its subsidiary's 49.8% 
investment in Justice Investors, the impact of inflation on the Company should 
be viewed at the partnership level.  As discussed above, partnership income is 
primarily dependent on lease revenues from Felcor.  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.  To the 
extent that Felcor is able to adjust room rates, 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 impact of inflation on 
the Company's multifamily real estate is also not viewed by management as 
material.

YEAR 200O ISSUES

The Company is aware of the potential implications that the year 2000 ("Y2K") 
issue could have on its business and as a result, is in the process of 
determining what, if any, steps the Company must take to cure any potential 
software or hardware problems associated with Y2K.  The Company has hired 
professional outside consultants to assist it in addressing its Y2K needs.  
The Company's plans include upgrading existing software applications to make 
them Y2K compliant, replacing some hardware required by software upgrades, 
purchasing new computer hardware and upgrading its computer network and 
communication systems.  The Company has also contacted its suppliers of 
various services and materials regarding their readiness and plans for Y2K.  

Based on preliminary discussions with the Company's outside consultants, 
service providers and software and hardware vendors, the Company has 
determined that its systems, both information technology and non-information 
technology, are not reasonably likely to be impacted by Y2K and that the costs 
to complete the Y2K compliance will not have a material effect on the 
Company's financial position or results of operations. Management expects to 
be Y2K compliant by September 30, 1999.

March 23, 1999


To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Santa Fe Financial Corporation

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related 
consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income, 
shareholders' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material 
respects, the financial position of Santa Fe Financial Corporation and its 
subsidiaries at December 31, 1998, and the results of their operations and 
their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 
1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These 
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on 
our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with 
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are 
free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, and evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement 
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the 
opinion expressed above.

SANTA FE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business 

Santa Fe Financial Corporation's (the "Company") operations have been 
primarily limited to partnership income from its investment in Justice 
Investors (see Note 3) and income from various investment activities.  On 
December 31, 1997, the Company acquired a controlling 55.4% interest in 
Intergroup Woodland Village, Inc. (Woodland) from a related party (See Note 
9), The InterGroup Corporation ("InterGroup"), which controls approximately 
52% of the voting stock of the Company.  Woodland's major asset is a 100-unit 
apartment complex located in Cincinnati, Ohio. 

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its 
67.2% owned subsidiary, Portsmouth Square, Inc. (PSI), and its 55.4% owned 
subsidiary, Woodland.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions 
have been eliminated in consolidation.

The acquisition of PSI was accounted for as a purchase and the assets and 
minority interest of PSI were recorded at their fair values.  The Company's 
cost was less than its pro rata interest in the fair value of PSI's net assets 
by approximately $3.6 million. The excess of fair value over the allocated 
carrying amount of the investment in PSI is being amortized to other income 
over 40 years.  The remaining unamortized amount at December 31, 1998 and 1997 
was approximately $2.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

The Company acquired Woodland on December 31, 1997 and accounted for the 
transaction under the purchase method of accounting.  As the acquisition took 
place on the last day of the year, Woodland's revenues and expenses for 1997 
are not included in the Company's consolidated statement of income for that 
year. Woodland's revenues and expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998 
are included in the consolidated statement of income for that year. The asset 
and liability accounts of Woodland as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 are 
included in the consolidated balance sheet.  

On May 5, 1988, the Company's Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock 
split of the Company's $.10 par value Common Stock in the form of a stock 
dividend.  The stock dividend was paid on June 15, 1998 to shareholders of 
record as of May 22, 1998.  Where applicable, the Company's financial 
statements have been restated to reflect the impact of the stock split.

During 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" 
(SFAS No. 131).  SFAS No. 131 established standards for disclosure about 
operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, 
geographic areas and major customers.  The Company currently operates in one 
business segment, as the parent company of PSI and Woodland Village.  

<PAGE> 18

During 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130).  SFAS No. 130 
establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income 
and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements.  

During 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 
No. 133).  SFAS No. 133 addresses the accounting for derivative instruments, 
including derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts and hedging 
activities.  The adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not have a material effect on 
the financial position or results of operations of the Company. 


Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all investments purchased with an original maturity of 
three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Restricted cash is comprised of 
amounts held by lenders for payment of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs 
and replacements of the rental property, and tenant security deposits.


Investment in Marketable Securities

The Company has classified its portfolio of marketable investment securities 
as available-for-sale and has reported it at fair value, as primarily 
determined by quoted market prices, with unrealized gains and losses, net of 
deferred taxes, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income.  Any 
unrealized gains or losses related to short positions are recognized in 
earnings in the current period. The Company borrows funds from securities 
brokers to purchase marketable securities under standard margin agreements.

Certain securities may be classified as trading securities to correspond with 
obligations of the same securities sold short.  These securities and the 
related obligations are marked to market with unrealized holding gains and 
losses included in earnings. 

Realized gains and losses are included in net losses on marketable securities.  
The cost of securities sold is determined based on the specific identification 
method.  Interest and dividends from securities classified as available-for-
sale are included in investment and interest income.

Obligations for Securities Sold 

Obligation for securities sold represents the fair value of securities sold 
short.  The obligation may be satisfied with current holdings of the same 
security or by subsequent purchases of that security.  Unrealized gains and 
losses from changes in the obligation are included in earnings.  

Rental Property

Rental property is stated at cost.  Depreciation of rental property is 
provided on the straight-line method based upon estimated useful life of 5 
to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 5 to 10 years for 
equipment.  Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as 
incurred and major improvements are capitalized.

The carrying value of real estate is assessed regularly by management based on 
operating performance of  the property, including the review of occupancy 
levels, operating budgets, estimated useful life and estimated future cash 
flows.  An impairment loss would be recognized when the sum of the expected 
future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset.  No such 
impairment losses have been recognized in 1998 or 1997.

<PAGE> 19
Rental income is recognized when earned.  Revenue recognition from apartment 
rentals commences when an apartment unit is placed in service and occupied by 
a rent-paying tenant.  

Furniture and Fixtures

Furniture and fixtures are stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed by the 
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which 
range from 3 to 5 years.

Revenue Recognition

During 1998 and 1997, the major source of the Company's revenue was its 49.8% 
interest in Justice Investors, a limited partnership which owns and leases a 
hotel in San Francisco, California in which the Company's subsidiary, PSI, is 
both a limited and general partner.  PSI and the Company account for the 
investment under the equity method.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated based upon the weighted average number 
of common shares outstanding during each fiscal year.  As of December 31, 1998 
and 1997, the Company did not have any potentially dilutive securities 
outstanding; and therefore, does not report diluted earnings per share.


Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations 
when indicators of impairment are present and the estimated undiscounted cash 
flows generated by those assets are less than their carrying value.  During 
1998 and 1997, the Company did not record any impairment losses.


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principals requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of 
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and 
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method.  A deferred 
tax asset or liability is determined based on the difference between the 
financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the 
enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse.  
As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company had a reserve against deferred 
tax assets of $510,576 and $782,894, respectively. Based on the Company's 
earnings history and projections, management considers the Company's net 
deferred tax asset to be realizable.  

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current 
year presentation.

Justice Investors and the hotel lessee entered into a new lease agreement 
effective January 1, 1995.  The hotel lease provides for Justice Investors to 
receive 20% of hotel room revenue, as defined in the lease, or an annual 
minimum guaranteed rent of $2,500,000 plus 50% of available cash, as defined 
in the lease, and expires December 31, 2004, with a five-year renewal option.

line of credit is collateralized by a trust deed on land, hotel property and 
the Partnership's interest in hotel and garage leases.  The line of credit 
agreement provides for maximum borrowings at December 31, 1997 of 
approximately $7,100,000 with an annual reduction of the maximum borrowings to 
approximately $4,500,000 at the December 31, 2004 maturity date and generally 
provides for interest at LIBOR plus 2% per annum (the annual rate on 
$4,000,000 of principal is guaranteed not to exceed 11.5%).

At December 31, 1998, the Company had net operating losses available for 
carryforward for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately 
$1,000,000 and $387,000, respectively.  The federal income tax loss 
carryforward will begin expiring in 2004, unless previously utilized.  In 
1993, California reduced the carryover period allowed for utilization of net 
operating loss carryovers from 15 years to 5 years.  Accordingly, the 
California tax loss carryforward began expiring in 1995.  The realization of 
future benefits from net operating loss carryforwards may be limited under the 
Internal Revenue Code if certain cumulative changes occur in the Company's 
ownership.  The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against those 
deferred tax assets which, in management's estimation, may not be realizable.


NOTE 8 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

On August 12, 1997, shareholders approved an Amendment of the Company's 
Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares to 
3,000,000, which included 2,000,000 shares of common stock at $.10 par value 
and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $.10 par value.  The Amendment was 
filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on December 4, 1997.

On December 31, 1997, the Company issued 31,800 shares of 6% cumulative, 
convertible voting preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock")in exchange for a 
55.4% interest in Woodland  from InterGroup.  As a result of the Company's 
two-for-one stock split (see below), the number of Preferred Shares was 
adjusted to 63,800.  Each share of Preferred Stock has a liquidation 
preference of $13.50 and is convertible into one share of restricted common 
stock of the Company at an exercise price of $13.50 per share, with an eight 
year conversion exercise period.  The preferred stock has voting rights as if 
converted into common stock.  InterGroup has notified the Company that it has 
elected to forego any dividend payments on the preferred stock for the year 
ended December 31, 1998.

On June 15, 1998, the Company issued a two-for-one stock split in the form of 
a stock dividend to its shareholders of record as of May 22, 1998.  Where 
applicable, the Company's financial statements have been restated to reflect 
the impact of the stock split.

NOTE 9 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of December 31, 1998, InterGroup owned approximately 45.5% of the Company's 
outstanding common stock and 100% of the Company's preferred stock for a total 
of 48.2% of all outstanding voting stock.  In addition, the Chairman and Chief 
Executive Officer of InterGroup, who is also the Company's Chairman and Chief 
Executive Officer, owned approximately 4% of the Company's outstanding common 
stock as of December 31, 1998.  Effective June 30, 1998, the Company's 
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer entered into a voting trust agreement 
with InterGroup, giving InterGroup the power to vote the shares that he owns 
in the Company.  As a result of that agreement, InterGroup now has the power 
to vote in excess of 52% of the voting shares of the Company.

Certain costs and expenses, primarily salaries, rent and insurance, are 
allocated between the Company and its subsidiary, Portsmouth based on 
management's estimate of the utilization of resources.  Effective June 30, 
1998, certain accounting and administrative functions of the Company and its 
subsidiaries, were transferred to the Los Angeles, California offices of  
InterGroup.  During the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company 
and Portsmouth made payments to InterGroup of approximately $162,000 and 
$150,000, respectively, for administrative costs and reimbursement of direct 
and indirect costs associated with the management of the Companies and their 
investments, including the partnership asset.

During 1997, the Company purchased a controlling 55.4% interest in Woodland 
from InterGroup (See Note 1).  In exchange for that interest in Woodland, the 
Company issued to InterGroup 31,800 shares (63,600 shares post stock split)of 
6% cumulative, convertible, voting preferred stock. 

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 Portsmouth and InterGroup and directs the 
investment activity of those companies.  Effective April 1, 1998, an employee 
of InterGroup was assigned to manage the portfolios of the Company and 
Portsmouth in consultation with Mr. Winfield.  The Company 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, Portsmouth 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 
Portsmouth and InterGroup, at risk in connection with investment decisions 
made on behalf of the Company.  All of the Company's Directors serve as 
directors of InterGroup and all three of the Company's Directors serve on the 
Board of Portsmouth.

The Company had an operating lease agreement for office space through June 30, 
1999.  On October 31, 1998, the operating lease was terminated without further 
obligation to the Company.  At December 31, 1998, the Company had no minimal 
rental payments due under the lease.  Rent expense for the years ended 
December 31, 1998 and 1997 totaled approximately $28,000 and $33,600, 
respectively.


NOTE 10- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

During 1997, the Company and the director defendants prevailed in their 
defense of a shareholders' derivative suit related to the private placement of 
90,000 shares of common stock and warrants for the purchase of an additional 
90,000 shares to InterGroup.  As prevailing parties, the Company and the 
director defendants made application to the Superior Court for recovery of the 
attorney's fees and costs expended in the successful defense of this 
litigation.  During March 1998, the trial court entered a judgment in favor of 
the Company and the director defendants and granted the applications for 
attorneys' fees and costs in the total amount of approximately $936,000.  That 
award bears interest at the statutory rate of 10% per annum and has been 
appealed by the plaintiffs in that action.

During 1996, the Company's subsidiary, PSI, was served with a personal injury 
action in the San Francisco Superior Court.  The suit names more than 60 
defendants, including the managing general partner of Justice Investors and 
alleges injuries suffered as a result of exposure to asbestos-containing 
materials.  The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages.  Portsmouth 
was defended through its insurance carrier under a reservation of rights.  
During 1997, the trial court granted Portsmouth's motion for summary judgment.  
That judgment became final on April 13, 1998 and was not appealed.  Since 
Portsmouth's insurance carrier paid for the cost of the defense, the 
resolution of this claim did not have any effect on the Company's consolidated 
financial position or results of operations.

Managing General Partner
Justice Investors
(A Limited Partnership)
San Francisco, California

                   Independent Auditor's Report
                   ----------------------------

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Justice Investors ( A 
Limited Partnership) as of December 31, 1998, and 1997, and the related 
statements of income and partners' capital and cash flows years then ended.  
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's 
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence 
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit 
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant 
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis 
for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of Justice Investors (A Limited 
Partnership) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its 
operations and its cash flows for years then ended, in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.

                      (A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
 
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                    December 31, 1998 and 1997
                    --------------------------

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- - -------------------------------

Organization
- - ------------
Justice Investors, a Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was formed in 
1967 to acquire real property in San Francisco, California, for the 
development and lease of hotel and related facilities.  The leases became 
effective during 1970 upon completion of the hotel and parking garage. The 
lease of the hotel provided for the Partnership to receive certain percentages 
of hotel revenue, as defined, to December 31, 2004, with a five year renewal 
option.  The parking garage lease provided for payments of certain percentages 
of parking receipts to November 30, 2010.

Rents Receivable
- - ----------------
Management believes that all rents receivable as of December 31, 1998 and 
1997, were fully collectible.  Therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts 
was recorded.

Depreciation
- - ------------
Depreciation on the hotel facilities is computed using the straight line 
method over a useful life of 40 years.  Building improvements are being 
depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives ranging from 5 to 
39 years. Office equipment is being depreciated using the 150% declining 
balance method with a useful life of 5 years.

Amortization
- - ------------
Loan fees are amortized using the straight line method over 10 years. Deferred
lease costs are amortized using the straight line method over 15 years.

Income Tax
- - ----------
No income taxes have been provided in the accompanying financial statements 
since the Partnership profits and losses are reportable by the partners on 
their individual income tax returns.

Statement of Cash Flows
- - -----------------------
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time 
deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly liquid debt instruments with 
original maturities of three months or less.

Use of Estimates
- - ----------------
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles required the use of estimates and assumptions 
regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such 
estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date 
of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may 
differ from estimated amounts.

                                               =======        =======   

The garage lessee, the managing general partner, paid the Partnership 
$1,337,833 and $1,212,491 during 1998 and 1997, respectively, under the terms 
of the rental agreement.  Rents receivable from the garage lessee at December 
31, 1998 and 1997 were $115,794 and $99,046, respectively. Accounts payable to 
general partners at December 31, 1998 and 1997 were $30,000 and $30,000.

LITIGATION
- - ---------- 
The Partnership is a co-defendant in a lawsuit filed by a former employee of 
the general contractor who constructed the hotel and garage facilities, for 
alleged personal injuries resulting from exposure to asbestos-containing 
materials.  The suit seeks an unspecified amount of damages.  Outside counsel 
for the Partnership has advised that at this stage in the proceedings, they 
cannot offer an opinion as to the probable outcome. The Partnership believes 
the suit is without merit and is vigorously defending its position.
