The Company has been and will continue its efforts to secure a new loan to replace its current first mortgage and mezzanine debt which matures on January 1, 2024.

Our long-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for scheduled debt maturities and capital improvements of the Hotel. 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 believethe Company believes that our cash position 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 occupancy and revenue per occupied room (“RevPAR”, calculated by multiplying the hotel’s average daily room rate by its occupancy percentage) 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 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.

WeThe Company identified the following performance obligations for which revenue is recognized as the respective performance obligations are satisfied, which results in recognizing the amount we expectthe Company expects 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.

● 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.

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.
COVID19 UPDATE
The novel strain of coronavirus and the disease it causes (“COVID-19”) have continued to affect the hospitality industry and our business. Beginning in March 2020, travel restrictions and mandated closings of non-essential businesses were imposed, which resulted in temporary suspensions of operations in many hotels in San Francisco, however, the Company did not suspend operations and did not close the hotel. As vaccination rates across the country increased and COVID-19 related restrictions were eased or removed, we saw an increase in travel and hospitality spending beginning in the second calendar quarter of 2021. During the second quarter of calendar year 2022, we continued to witness robust leisure demand and an acceleration in group and business transient demand. However, the potential for an economic slowdown or a recession during the second half of 2022calendar year 2023 may disrupt the positive momentum at the Company’s hotel and our industry.
We believe the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine during 2021 drove the improvement in traveler sentiment we experienced and resulted in an improvement in occupancy, Average Daily Rate (“ADR”) and Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”) during 2021.2021 and 2022. If additional virus variants emerge causing re-imposed widespread travel restrictions, the hospitality industry will be negatively affected. While there can be no assurances that the Company will not experience further fluctuations in hotel revenues or earnings due to the uncertainty of COVID-19 and other macroeconomic factors, such as inflation, increases in interest rates, potential economic slowdown or a recession and geopolitical conflicts, we expect to continue to recover through the remainder of fiscal year 2023 based on current demand trends.

These marketable securities are short-term investments and liquid in nature.
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 and extended the maturity date of the loan to July 31, 2021. TheAs of the date of this report, the maturity date was extended to July 31, 2023. Management anticipates Intergroup will expend the loan until July 31, 2024.
On September 7, 2021, the Board of InterGroup passed resolution to provide funding to Portsmouth for the working capital of the Hotel up to $16,000,000 if necessary. Upon the dissolution of Justice in December 2021, Portsmouth assumed Justice’s note payable to InterGroup in the amount of $11,350,000. On December 31, 2021, Portsmouth and InterGroup entered into a loan modification agreement which increased Portsmouth’s borrowing from InterGroup as needed upmemorialized the increase to $16,000,000.$16,000,000 and the substitution of Portsmouth for Justice.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022,Currently, the Company did not need any additional funding and does not anticipate any need for additional funding from InterGroup inInterGroup. As of March 31, 2023, the near future.Company has not made any pay-downs to its note payable to InterGroup. The Company could amend its by-laws and increase the number of authorized shares to issue additional shares to raise capital in the public markets if needed.
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. The Company has been and will continue its efforts to secure a new loan to replace its current first mortgage and mezzanine debt which matures on January 1, 2024. Management anticipates the successful completion of the hotel’s debt refinancing. Our long-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for scheduled debt maturities and capital improvements of the Hotel. 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 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 occupancy and revenue per occupied room (“RevPAR”, calculated by multiplying the hotel’s average daily room rate by its occupancy percentage) 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 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.plan

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has no material off balance sheet arrangements.
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 Aimbridge 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. For the two most recent fiscal years, the impact of inflation on the Company’s income is not viewed by management as material.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
Critical accounting policiesestimates are those that are most significant to the portrayal 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 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 ongoing 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 or methods or assumptions during the nine months ended SeptemberMarch 31, 2023.
INCOME TAXES
Judgment is required in addressing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns (e.g., realization of deferred tax assets, changes in tax laws, or interpretations thereof). In addition, we are subject to examination of our income tax returns by the IRS and other tax authorities. A change in the assessment of the outcomes of such matters could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. We evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return to determine whether they are more likely than not of being sustained, assuming that the tax reporting positions will be examined by taxing authorities with full knowledge of all relevant information, prior to recording the related tax benefit in our consolidated financial statements. If a position does not meet the more likely than not standard, the benefit cannot be recognized. Assumptions, judgment, and the use of estimates are required in determining if the “more likely than not” standard has been met when developing the provision for income taxes. A change in the assessment of the “more likely than not” standard with respect to a position could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. See Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements” on Form 10K for the year ended June 30, 2022.

DEFERRED INCOME TAXES – VALUATION ALLOWANCE
We assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets quarterly and recognize a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some or all of our deferred tax assets are not realizable. This assessment is completed by tax jurisdiction and relies on the weight of both positive and negative evidence available, with significant weight placed on recent financial results. Cumulative pre-tax losses for the three-year period are considered significant objective negative evidence that some or all of our deferred tax assets may not be realizable. Cumulative reported pre-tax income is considered objectively verifiable positive evidence of our ability to generate positive pre-tax income in the future. In accordance with GAAP, when there is a recent history of pre-tax losses, there is little or no weight placed on forecasts for purposes of assessing the recoverability of our deferred tax assets. When necessary, we use systematic and logical methods to estimate when deferred tax liabilities will reverse and generate taxable income and when deferred tax assets will reverse and generate tax deductions. Assumptions, judgment, and the use of estimates are required when scheduling the reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the exercise is inherently complex and subjective. However, significant judgment will be required to determine the timing and amount of any reversal of the valuation allowance in future periods. See Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements” on Form 10K for the year ended June 30, 2022.
HOTEL ASSETS AND DEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
We evaluate property and equipment, and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment quarterly, and when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, we evaluate the net book value of the assets by comparing to the projected undiscounted cash flows of the assets. We use judgment to determine whether indications of impairment exist and consider our knowledge of the hospitality industry, historical experience, location of the property, market conditions, and property-specific information available at the time of the assessment. The results of our analysis could vary from period to period depending on how our judgment is applied and the facts and circumstances available at the time of the analysis. When an indicator of impairment exists, judgment is also required in determining the assumptions and estimates to use within the recoverability analysis and when calculating the fair value of the asset or asset group, if applicable. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting the judgments used could result in impairments to our long-lived assets in future periods. Historically, changes in estimates used in the property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets impairment assessment process have not resulted in material impairment charges in subsequent periods as a result of changes made to those estimates. There were no indicators of impairment on its hotel investments or intangible assets and accordingly no impairment losses recorded during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Portsmouth Square, Inc., through its operating company Justice Investors Operating Co.,Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), is the owner of the real property located at 750 Kearny Street in San Francisco, currently improved with a 27 – story building which houses a Hilton Hotel (the “Property”). The Property was improved pursuant to approvals granted by the City and County of San Francisco (the “City”) in 1970. Those approvals included a Major Encroachment Permit (“Permit”) by which the Company was authorizedrequired by the City to construct an ornamental overhead pedestrian bridge across Kearny Street, connecting the Property to the City park and underground parking garage known as Portsmouth Square (the “Bridge”). The construction of the Bridge was a condition of the City’s approval of the construction of the hotel structure on the Property. Effective on May 24, 2022, the City has revoked the Permit and directed the Company to remove the Bridge at the Company’s expense, including construction management costs and traffic control. Pursuant to a letter dated June 13, 2022, the City’s Department of Public works has specifically directed the “removal of the unpermitted pedestrian bridge and all related physical encroachments in the public right-of-way and on City property” and the submission of a general bridge removal and restoration plan (the “Plan”). The Company disputes the legality of the purported revocation of the Permit. The Company further disputes any obligation to remove the Bridge at its expense. In particular, representatives of the Company have participated in meetings with the City since August 1, 2019, discussing a collaborative process for the possible removal of the Bridge. Until the recent revocation of the Permit in 2022, the City representatives have repeatedly and consistently promised and agreed that the City will pay for the associated costs of any Bridge removal. Nevertheless, without waiving any rights, in an effort to understand all of the available options, and to provide a response to the City’s new directives, the Company has engaged a Project Manager, a structural engineering firm, and an architect to advise on the process and for the development of a Plan for the Bridge removal, as well as the reconstruction of the front of the Hilton Hotel.Hotel and a legal team. The Plan is currently not expected to be completed until early in 2023. At this time, early estimates of the cost of the Plan exceed $2 million. The Company is currently considering its optionsin discussions with regard to filing litigation to invalidate the revocationCity regarding both the process and financial responsibility for the implementation of the Permit so as to preclude removal ofPlan for the Bridge and/orremoval. Those discussions are expected to compel the City to honor its commitment to pay for the removal of the Bridge. The Company is continuing to prepare its case and the progress is ongoing as of September 30, 2022.continue well into 2023.
The Company may be subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company will defend itself vigorously against any such claims. Management does not believe that the impact of such matters will have a material effect on the financial conditions or result of operations when resolved.
