BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES | NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES
Description of Business
Portsmouth’s primary business was conducted through its general and limited partnership interest in Justice Investors Limited Partnership, a California limited partnership (“Justice” or the “Partnership”). Effective July 15, 2021, Portsmouth completed the purchase of 100% of the limited partnership interest of Justice through the acquisition of the remaining 0.7% non-controlling interest. Effective December 23, 2021, the partnership was dissolved. The financial statements of Justice were consolidated with those of the Company.
Prior to its dissolution effective December 23, 2021, Justice owned and operated a 544-room hotel property located at 750 Kearny Street, San Francisco California, known as the Hilton San Francisco Financial District (the “Hotel”) and related facilities including a five-level underground parking garage through its subsidiaries Justice Operating Company, LLC (“Operating”) and Justice Mezzanine Company, LLC (“Mezzanine”). Mezzanine was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership; Operating was a wholly owned subsidiary of Mezzanine. Effective December 23, 2021, Portsmouth replaced Justice as the single member of Mezzanine. Mezzanine is the borrower under certain mezzanine indebtedness of Justice, and in December 2013, the Partnership conveyed ownership of the Hotel to Operating. The Hotel is a full-service Hilton brand hotel pursuant to a Franchise License Agreement with HLT Franchise Holding LLC (“Hilton”) through January 31, 2030.
In connection with the refinancing of the Hotel on March 28, 2025, the Company formed Justice Pledgor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Pledgor”), which became the sole member of Operating. Mezzanine is the sole member of Pledgor.
Operating entered into a hotel management agreement (“HMA”) with Aimbridge Hospitality (“Aimbridge”) to manage the Hotel, along with its five-level parking garage, with an effective date of February 3, 2017. The term of the management agreement is for an initial period of ten years commencing on the February 3, 2017 date and automatically renews for successive one (1) year periods, not to exceed five years in the aggregate, subject to certain conditions. Under the terms of the HMA, base management fee (“Basic Fee”) payable to Aimbridge is one and seven-tenths percent (1.70%) of total Hotel revenue. In addition to the Basic Fee, Aimbridge is entitled to an annual incentive fee for each fiscal year equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount by which Gross Operating Profit in the current fiscal year exceeds the previous fiscal year’s Gross Operating Profit.
As of June 30, 2025, The InterGroup Corporation (“InterGroup”), a public company, owns approximately 75.9% of the outstanding common shares of Portsmouth. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, John V. Winfield, owns approximately 2.5% of the outstanding common shares of the Company. Mr. Winfield also serves as the President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of InterGroup and owns approximately 70.1% of the outstanding common shares of InterGroup as of June 30, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Justice up to its dissolution in December 2021, at which time all subsidiaries of Justice became subsidiaries of Portsmouth as the Company replaced Justice as the single member of Justice’s subsidiaries where appropriate. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Investment in Hotel, Net
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Building improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives ranging from 3 to 39 years. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years.
Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Costs of significant renewals and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the remaining estimated useful life or life of the asset. The cost of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts; any resulting gain or loss is included in other income (expenses).
The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). If the carrying amount of the asset, including any intangible assets associated with that asset, exceeds its estimated undiscounted net cash flow, before interest, the Company will recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and its estimated fair value. If impairment is recognized, the reduced carrying amount of the asset will be accounted for as its new cost. For a depreciable asset, the new cost will be depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life. Generally, fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow, replacement cost or market comparison analyses. The process of evaluating for impairment requires estimates as to future events and conditions, which are subject to varying market and economic factors. Therefore, it is reasonably possible that a change in estimate resulting from judgments as to future events could occur which would affect the recorded amounts of the property. No impairment losses were recorded for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Investment in Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are stated at fair value as determined by the most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. Marketable securities are classified as trading securities with all unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s investment portfolio recorded through the consolidated statements of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company does not have any cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is comprised of amounts held by lenders for payment of real estate taxes, insurance, replacement and capital addition reserves for the Hotel.
Accounts Receivable - Hotel, Net
Accounts receivable from Hotel customers are carried at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of accounts receivable. The net accounts receivable balance on July 1, 2023 was $418,000. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company has gross accounts receivable of $383,000 and $519,000 respectively, and allowance for doubtful accounts of $9,000 and $0, respectively. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers but mitigates the associated credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers.
Other Assets
Other assets include prepaid insurance, prepaid expenses, other investments, net, and other miscellaneous assets.
Income Taxes
The Company consolidated Justice (“Hotel”) for financial reporting purposes up to its dissolution in December 2021 and was not taxed on its non-controlling interest in the Hotel. Effective July 15, 2021, the Company became the owner of 100% of Justice and began to include all the Hotel’s income and expense accounts into its income taxes calculations going forward. The income tax expense was $1,000 and $1,000, for the years ending June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, primarily due to the company’s full valuation allowance.
Deferred income taxes are calculated under the liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the current enacted tax rates. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities are included as a component of income tax expense. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities attributable to changes in enacted tax rates are charged or credited to income tax expense in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are established for certain deferred tax assets where realization is not likely.
The Company accounts for its uncertain tax positions pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes. This guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, a benefit will be recognized at the largest amount that it believes is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. A table summarizing the Company’s uncertain positions is presented in the income tax footnote section. Further, any interest or penalties associated with uncertain tax positions shall be recorded in the income tax provision. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, no interest and penalties were recorded.
Due to Securities Broker
Various securities brokers have advanced funds to the Company for the purchase of marketable securities under standard margin agreements. These advanced funds are recorded as a liability.
Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities
Accounts payable and other liabilities include trade payables, advance customer deposits, accrued wages, accrued real estate taxes, and other liabilities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards for fair value measurement establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the observability of inputs as follows:
Level 1–inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2–inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3–inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
Interest Rate Cap
The Company uses interest rate cap agreements to manage exposure to increases in interest rates on its variable-rate debt obligations. Interest rate cap premiums are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value on the date the agreements are executed and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date.
All changes in fair value are recognized in earnings within other income (expense). The Company is required, pursuant to certain debt agreements, to maintain interest rate caps for specified periods or replace them upon expiration.
Revenue Recognition
Performance Obligations
We identified the following performance obligations for which revenue is recognized as the respective performance obligations are satisfied, which results in recognizing the amount we expect to be entitled to for providing the goods or services:
Hotel revenue primarily consists of hotel room rentals, revenue from accommodations sold in conjunction with other services (e.g., package reservations), food and beverage sales and other ancillary goods and services (e.g., parking). Revenue is recognized when rooms are occupied or goods and services have been delivered or rendered, respectively. Payment terms typically align with when the goods and services are provided. For package reservations, the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations within the package based on the estimated standalone selling prices of each component.
We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an expected length of one year or less. Due to the nature of our business, our revenue is not significantly impacted by refunds. Cash payments received in advance of guests staying at our hotel are refunded to hotel guests if the guest cancels within the specified time period, before any services are rendered. Refunds related to service are generally recognized as an adjustment to the transaction price at the time the hotel stay occurs or services are rendered. See Note 3 – Revenue.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in Hotel operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs were $263,000 and $150,000 for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Basic loss per share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each fiscal year. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets and when appropriate, records tax valuation allowances based on that evidence and estimates. As of June 30, 2025 based on taxable income that may be available under tax law the deferred taxed asset is not more likely than not to be realized.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability and are amortized over the life of the debt. Loan amortization costs are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 202307”). We adopted ASU 2023-07 effective July 1, 2024 (fiscal 2025). The amendments expanded annual segment disclosure (including significant segment expenses and CODM measures) and will expand interim segment disclosures beginning in fiscal 2026. Adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, but resulted in enhanced segment disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 (our fiscal 2026). We expect the standard to expand our income tax rate reconciliation and cash taxes paid disclosures; we do not expect a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to operate in the normal course of business. Management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern under ASC 205-40 for the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements.
In prior filings (including the June 30, 2024 Form 10-K and subsequent Form 10-Q), maturities of the Company’s senior and mezzanine loans on January 1, 2024, together with related default notices, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
On March 28, 2025, the Company completed a comprehensive refinancing of its senior mortgage and a modification of its mezzanine debt, resulting in extended maturities, favorable interest terms, and improved covenant compliance. Since closing, the Company has remained current on all required debt service and continued property enhancements to support the Hotel’s competitive positioning (including renovation of additional guest rooms returned to inventory). In addition, in March 2025 and May 2025, the related-party facility with The InterGroup Corporation was amended to increase borrowing capacity to $40,000,000, extend maturity to July 31, 2027, and reduce the rate to 9%, providing a contingency source of liquidity without required monthly principal or interest payments prior to maturity.
Management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements and concluded that the conditions and events that initially raised substantial doubt have been alleviated and that substantial doubt does not exist as of issuance. The financial statements are therefore prepared on a going-concern basis.
While management believes available liquidity and cash generation from operations are sufficient for near-term needs, uncertainties related to the San Francisco hospitality market and broader macroeconomic factors—including potential pressure on occupancy and RevPAR—could adversely affect liquidity if results underperform forecasts. Management will continue to monitor conditions and adjust operations as necessary. See MD&A — Going Concern — Portsmouth for additional discussion.
