PORTSMOUTH SQUARE INC (OTC:PRSI)

The GeoTeam will begin tracking PRSI as a possible turn around story

Due to the temporary closing of the Hotel to undergo major renovations from May 2005 until January 2006 to transition and reposition the Hotel from a Holiday Inn to a Hilton, and the substantial depreciation and amortization expenses resulting from the renovations and operating losses incurred as the Hotel ramped up operations after reopening, Justice has recorded net losses. These losses were anticipated and planned for as part of the Partnership’s renovation and repositioning plan for the Hotel and management considers those net losses to be temporary.

The Hotel has been generating positive cash flows from operations since June 2006 and net income is expected to improve in the future, especially since depreciation and amortization expenses attributable to the renovation will decrease substantially. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, that trend of net losses was reversed as the Company recorded net income from hotel operations of $710,000. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, that positive trend continued as the Company recorded net income from hotel operations of $3,152,000. Even in an uncertain economy, management believes that the revenues expected to be generated from the Hotel, garage and the Partnership’s leases will be sufficient to meet all of the Partnership’s current and future obligations and financial requirements. Management also believes that there is significant equity in the Hotel to support additional borrowings, if necessary.
