                                 ---------------

                        ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
                         TO BE HELD FEBRUARY 25, 2004

The Board of Directors of The InterGroup Corporation ("InterGroup" or the
"Company") is soliciting proxies in the form enclosed with this statement in
connection with its fiscal 2003 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on
February 25, 2004 or at any adjournments thereof. Only shareholders of record
at the close of business on January 9, 2004 are entitled to notice of, and to
vote at, the Annual Meeting.

Each shareholder is entitled to cast, in person or by proxy, one vote for each
share held of record at the close of business on January 9, 2004.  As of
January 9, 2004 there were outstanding 2,530,384 shares of common stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), the only outstanding voting security
of the Company.  Of the total 2,530,384 shares outstanding, a majority, or
1,265,193 voting shares will constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business at the meeting.  The affirmative vote of the holders of the majority
of the shares of the Common Stock present and represented at the meeting and
entitled to vote is required to elect directors and ratify the selection of the
Company's independent auditors.

The proxies named in the accompanying Form of Proxy will vote the shares
represented thereby if the proxy appears to be valid on its face, and where
specification is indicated as provided in such proxy, the shares represented
will be voted in accordance with such specification.  If no specification is
made, the shares represented by the proxies will be voted (1) to elect two
Board nominees for Class A Directors for a three-year term expiring at the
fiscal 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders; and (2) for the ratification of the
retention of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's independent auditors
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004.

If you give us a proxy, you can revoke it at any time before it is used. To
revoke it, you may file a written notice revoking it with the Secretary of the
Company, execute a proxy with a later date or attend the meeting and vote in
person.

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying Form of Proxy are first being sent to
shareholders on or about January 27, 2004.  In addition to mailing this
material to shareholders, the Company has asked banks and brokers to forward
copies to persons for whom they hold stock of the Company and to request
authority for the execution of proxies. The Company will reimburse banks and
brokers for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in doing so. Officers of
the Company may, without being additionally compensated, solicit proxies by
mail, telephone, telegram or personal contact. All proxy soliciting expenses
will be paid by the Company. The Company does not expect to employ anyone else
to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

                                 PROPOSAL I
                       Election of Class A Directors

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Board of Directors
shall consist of not more than nine nor less than five members.  The exact
number of Directors, presently six, is fixed by the Board prior to each year's
Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  The Board is divided into three staggered
classes, each class having not less than one nor more than three members.  Each
Director is elected to serve for a three-year term, and until the election and
qualification of his or her successor.  When vacancies on the Board occur, due
to resignation or otherwise, the Directors then in office may continue to
exercise the powers of the Directors and a majority of such directors may
select a new Director to fill the vacancy.  Any Director may resign at any
time.  Any Director may be removed by the vote of, or written consent of, the
holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at a special
meeting called for the purpose of removal or to ratify the recommendation of a
majority of the Directors that such Director be removed.

The term of the Class A Directors expires at the fiscal 2003 Annual Meeting to
be held on February 25, 2004.  The Board proposes John V. Winfield and Josef A.
Grunwald as Class A Directors to serve until the fiscal 2006 Annual Meeting and
until the election and qualification of their successors.  The Board of
Directors has been informed that the nominees have consented to being named as
nominees and are willing to serve as Directors if elected.  However, if any
nominee should be unable, or declines to serve, it is intended that the proxies
will be voted for such other person as the proxies shall, in their discretion,
designate.  Unless otherwise directed in the accompanying Proxy, the person's
name therein will vote FOR the election of this nominee.  Election requires the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voted at the
Annual Meeting.

                     BOARD AND COMMITTEE INFORMATION

The Board of Directors of InterGroup is comprised of six members.  With the
exception of Mr. Winfield, all of the directors meet the standards for
"independence" set forth in the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") and The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq"). The Board of
Directors held six meetings during the 2003 Fiscal Year (in person,
telephonically or by written consent).  No Director attended (whether in
person, telephonically, or by written consent) less than 75% of all meetings
held during the period of time he or she served as Director during the 2003
Fiscal Year.

The Company has an Executive Committee that meets in lieu of the Board upon the
request of the Chairman of the Committee.  Mr. Winfield is Chairman of the
Executive Committee.  The Committee held three meetings (in person,
telephonically or by written consent) during the 2003 Fiscal Year.

The Company's Administrative and Compensation Committee is comprised of
"independent" members of the Board of Directors as independence is defined by
the applicable rules of the SEC and Nasdaq.  The Committee reviews and
recommends executive salaries and any stock based compensation plans.  Mr.
Nance is Chairman of the Administrative and Compensation Committee.  This
committee held two meetings during the 2003 Fiscal Year.  This Committee also
oversees the Company's two Stock Option Plans.

The Company has a Real Estate Investment Committee, which is chaired by Mr.
Nance.  This committee held three meetings (in person, telephonically or by
written consent) during the 2003 Fiscal Year.  The Real Estate Investment
Committee reviews and considers potential acquisitions and dispositions of
property.

The Company's Nominating Committee is comprised of two "independent" directors
as independence is defined by the applicable rules of the SEC and Nasdaq.  The
Company has not established a charter for the Nominating Committee and the
Committee has no policy with regard to consideration of any director candidates
recommended by security holders.  As a small business issuer whose directors
own in excess of fifty percent of the voting shares of the Company, InterGroup
has not deemed it appropriate to institute such a policy.  Mr. Love is the
Chairman of the Nominating Committee.  The Committee held one meeting during
the 2003 Fiscal Year.

The Company's Securities Investment Committee oversees and establishes certain
investment procedures and reports to the Board of Directors.  The Committee's
Chairman is Mr. Winfield.  This committee held five meetings (in person,
telephonically or by written consent) during the 2003 Fiscal Year.

The Company's Special Strategic Options Committee is chaired by Mr. Winfield.
This committee held no formal meetings during the 2003 Fiscal Year, but its
members consult with each other frequently on an informal basis.  The Special
Strategic Options Committee reviews and considers the Company's strategic
options and provides guidance to accomplish its goals considering both current
and prospective investment opportunities.

                                     4


The Company is a small business issuer under SEC rules.  The Company's Audit
Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Nance (Chairperson) and Love, each
of who meet the independence requirements of the SEC and Nasdaq as modified or
supplemented from time to time.  Each of those directors also meets the Audit
Committee Financial Expert requirement as defined by the SEC and Nasdaq.  The
primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in
fulfilling its responsibility of overseeing management's conduct of the
financial reporting process, the annual independent audit of the Company's
financial statements, reviewing the financial reports provided by the Company
to any governmental body or the public; the Company's system of internal
controls regarding finance, accounting, legal compliance and ethics that
management and the Board have established; and the Company's auditing,
accounting and financial processes generally.  The Audit Committee is also
responsible for the selection and retention of the Company's independent
auditors. The Audit Committee held five meetings during the 2003 Fiscal Year.
On June 8, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a written charter for
the Audit Committee, which was subsequently amended in January 2003 and
December 2003.  A copy of that written charter, as amended, is attached as
Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Company has a secured right to receive, from any proceeds of the policy,
reimbursement of all premiums paid prior to any payment to the beneficiary.
During fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001 Santa Fe and Portsmouth also paid
annual premiums on split dollar policies in the total amount of $42,500.

(4) Mr. Zybala also served as Vice President Operations from January 1999 to
July 15, 2002.  His salary and bonuses are allocated 30% to the Company and 70%
to Santa Fe and Portsmouth.

(5) Includes $17,922 for an auto lease.

(6) On January 31, 2001, Mr. Gonzalez was granted options to purchase up to
15,000 shares (adjusted for stock split) of the Common Stock of the Company at
an exercise price of $13.17 per share, which was the closing price of the
Common Stock on the date of grant.  The term of the options is for the period
beginning January 31, 2002 and ending on January 30, 2011.  No options may be
exercised prior to January 31, 2003 and vest at a rate of 1,500 shares per year
between January 31, 2003 and January 31, 2006, and at a rate of 2,250 shares
per year between January 31, 2007 and January 31, 2010.

On July 18, 2003, the independent and disinterested members of the respective
Boards of Directors of the Company's subsidiary, Santa Fe and Santa Fe's
subsidiary, Portsmouth, established a performance compensation program for the
Company's CEO, John V. Winfield, to keep and retain his services as a direct
and active manager of the securities portfolios of those companies.  The
Company's previous experience and results with outside money managers was not
acceptable.  Pursuant to the criteria established by those Boards of Directors,
Mr. Winfield will be entitled to performance compensation for his management of
the securities portfolios of those companies equal to 20% of all net investment
gains generated in excess of the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Compensation
amounts will be calculated and paid quarterly based on the results of the
Company's investment portfolio for that quarter.  Should the companies have a
net investment loss during any quarter, Mr. Winfield would not be entitled to
any further performance-based compensation until any such investment losses are
recouped by the Company.  The compensation program shall be administered in a
manner to limit the impact of the Internal Revenue Code provisions discussed
below. This performance compensation program may be modified or terminated at
the discretion of the respective Boards of Directors.  It is expected that the
Compensation Committee and the disinterested members of the Board of Directors
of InterGroup will also consider the adoption of an appropriate performance
based compensation arrangement for the CEO's management of its securities
portfolio.

Internal Revenue Code Limitations
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
provides that, in the case of a publicly held corporation, the corporation is
not generally allowed to deduct remuneration paid to its chief executive
officer and certain other highly compensated officers to the extent that such
remuneration exceeds $1,000,000 for the taxable year.  Certain remuneration,
however, is not subject to disallowance, including compensation paid on a
commission basis and, if certain requirements prescribed by the Code are
satisfied, other performance based compensation.  Since InterGroup, Santa Fe
and Portsmouth are each public companies, the $1,000,000 limitation applies
separately to the compensation paid by each entity.  For fiscal 2003, 2002 and
2001 no compensation paid by the Company to its CEO or other executive officers
was subject the deduction disallowance prescribed by Section 162(m) of the
Code.

OPTIONS/SAR GRANTS IN LAST FISCAL YEAR

1998 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors

On December 8, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted, subject to
stockholder approval and ratification, a 1998 Stock Option Plan for Non-
employee Directors (the "Plan").  The stockholders ratified that Plan on
January 27, 1999.

The stock to be offered under the Plan shall be shares of the Company's Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share, which may be unissued shares or treasury
shares.  Subject to certain adjustments upon changes in capitalization, the
aggregate number of shares to be delivered upon exercise of all options granted
under the Plan shall not exceed 150,000 shares (adjusted for March 31, 2003
stock split).  The Plan shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the
dates when all of the Common Stock available under the Plan shall have been
acquired through the exercise of options granted under the Plan; (ii) 10 years
after the date of adoption of the Plan by the Board; or (iii) such other date
that the Board may determine.

Pursuant to the Plan, each non-employee director as of the adoption date of the
Plan shall be granted on the date thereof: (i) if he or she became a non-
employee director prior to January 1, 1998, an option to purchase 8,000 shares
of Common Stock; and (ii) if he or she became a non-employee director on or
after January 1, 1998, an option to purchase 4,000 shares of Common Stock.
Each new non-employee director who is elected to the Board shall automatically
be granted an option to purchase 4,000 shares of Common Stock upon the initial
date of election to the Board.  On each July 1 following the adoption date,
each non-employee director shall be granted an option to purchase 3,000 shares
of Common Stock (adjusted for stock split) provided he or she holds such
position on that date and the number of Common Shares available for grant under
the Plan is sufficient to permit such automatic grant.

The exercise price of the option shall be determined at the time of grant and
shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the
time of the grant of the option.  The term of the option shall be for ten
years.  Options granted to any non-employee director will not vest 100% until
such person has been a member of the Board for four (4) years or more.  Non-
employee directors who have been a member of Board less than four (4) years,
shall be vested with respect to 20% of the options on the date of grant and 20%
on each anniversary of such person having become a member of the Board,
provided that the optionee is on each such date serving as a member of the
Board or as an employee or consultant to the Company.

Pursuant to the Plan, the following non-employee directors of the Company were
granted options during fiscal 2003 to purchase 3,000 shares each of the Common
Stock of the Company: Josef A. Grunwald; William J. Nance; Mildred Bond
Roxborough; Gary N. Jacobs; and John C. Love.  The exercise price for the

                                     7


options is $11.23 per share, which was the closing price (adjusted for stock
split) of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market System as of
the date of grant on July 1, 2002.


1998 Stock Option Plan for Selected Key Officers, Employees and Consultants

On December 8, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted, subject to
shareholder approval and ratification, a 1998 Stock Option Plan for selected
key officers, employees and consultants (the "Key Employee Plan").  The Key
Employee Plan was ratified by the stockholders on January 27, 1999.

The stock to be offered under the Key Employee Plan shall be shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, which may be unissued shares
or treasury shares.  Subject to certain adjustments upon changes in
capitalization, the aggregate number of shares to be delivered upon exercise of
all options granted under the Key Employee Plan shall not exceed 300,000 shares
(adjusted for stock split).  The Key Employee Plan shall terminate on the
earliest to occur of (i) the dates when all of the Common Stock available under
the Key Employee Plan shall have been acquired through the exercise of options
granted under the Key Employee Plan; (ii) 10 years after the date of adoption
of the Key Employee Plan by the Board; or (iii) such other date that the Board
may determine.

The Key Employee Plan is administered by the Administrative and Compensation
Committee appointed by the Board of Directors, which consists of two or more
disinterested persons within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated pursuant to
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").  Persons eligible to
receive options under the Key Employee Plan shall be employees who are selected
by the Committee.  In determining the Employees to whom options shall be
granted and the number of shares to be covered by each option, the Committee
shall take into account the duties of the respective employee, their present
and potential contribution to the success of the Company, their anticipated
number of years of active service remaining and other factors as it deems
relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of the Key Employee
Plan.  An employee who has been granted an option may be granted an additional
option or options as the Committee shall so determine.

The exercise price of the option shall be determined at the time of grant and
shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the
time of the grant of the option.  The term of the option shall not exceed 10
years from the date on which the option is granted.  The vesting schedule for
the options and the method or time when the option may be exercised in whole or
in part shall be determined by the Committee.  However, in no event shall an
option be exercisable within six months of the date of grant in the case of an
optionee subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  Subject to certain
exceptions, the option shall terminate six months after the optionee's
employment with the Company terminates.  No options to purchase shares were
granted pursuant to the Key Employee Plan during fiscal 2003.


Compensation of Directors

Each director is paid a fee of $1,500 per quarter for a total annual
compensation of $6,000.  The Chairman of the Board of Directors is eligible to
receive $9,000 per annum. Directors also are eligible to receive $500 for each
committee meeting attended and $600 for each committee meeting chaired.
Members of the Audit Committee receive a fee of $500 per quarter.  Directors
who are also Executive Officers do not receive any fee for attending Board or
Committee meetings.  As an Executive Officer, the Company's Chairman has also
elected to forego his annual board fee.  The Directors are also eligible for
grants of options to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to
the 1998 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors.

Except for the foregoing, there are no other arrangements for compensation of
Directors and there are no employment contracts between the Company and its
Directors.

       COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
executive officers and directors, and each beneficial owner of more than ten
percent of the Common Stock of the Company, to file reports of ownership and
changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Executive
officers, directors and greater than ten-percent shareholders are required by
SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms
they file.  Based upon a review of the copies of such reports received by it,
or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Form 5's were
required for those persons, the Company believes that during fiscal 2003 all
filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors, and greater than
ten-percent beneficial owners were complied with.

               CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

On December 4, 1998, the Administrative and Compensation Committee authorized
the Company to obtain whole life and split dollar insurance policies covering
the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Winfield.  During
fiscal 2003 and 2002, the Company paid annual premiums in the amount of
approximately $42,500 for the split dollar insurance policy owned by, and the
beneficiary of which is, a trust for the benefit of Mr. Winfield's family. The
Company has a secured right to receive, from any proceeds of the policy,
reimbursement of all premiums paid prior to any payments to the beneficiary.

On June 30, 1998, the Company's Chairman and President entered into a voting
trust agreement with the Company giving the Company the power to vote his 4.0%
interest in the outstanding shares of the Santa Fe common stock.

In May 1996, the Company's Chairman and President exercised options to purchase
187,500 shares of Common Stock at a price of $7.67 per share through a full
recourse note in the principal amount of $1,437,500 due to the Company on
demand with an original due date of May 16, 2001.  Interest on the note was at
floating rate at the lower of 10% or the prime rate with interest payable
quarterly.  On May 2, 2001, the Company extended the due date to May 16, 2003.
On May 16, 2003, the Chairman settled his related party promissory note by
making a cash payment to the Company in the amount of $722,683.50, which was
equal to one half of the principal and accrued interest due on the note.  The
balance of the obligation was satisfied through the forgiveness of debt.  The
transaction was approved by the disinterested members of the Company's Board of
Directors and by its Audit Committee.  The amounts due on the note had been
reflected as a reduction in shareholders' equity on the Company's balance
sheet. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Chairman of
the Company made interest payments of approximately $55,500 and $76,650
respectively on the note.

As Chairman of the Securities Investment Committee, the Company's President and
Chief Executive officer, John V. Winfield, oversees 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 and
Chairman of Santa Fe and Portsmouth and oversees the investment activity of
those companies.  Depending on certain market conditions and various risk
factors, the Chief Executive Officer, his family, Santa Fe and Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth, at risk in connection with investment decisions made on behalf
of the Company.

For fiscal 2003, the Company's subsidiary Santa Fe and Santa Fe's subsidiary,
Portsmouth paid the Company's CEO $653,533 in performance bonuses based on the
results of Mr. Winfield's management of the securities portfolios of those
companies for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. Of the total amount of the
bonus, $242,178 was paid by Santa Fe and $411,355 was paid by Portsmouth. The
bonuses were approved by the independent and disinterested members of the
Boards of Directors of Santa Fe and Portsmouth.

Gary N. Jacobs, a Director of the Company, is Of Counsel to the law firm of
Christensen, Miller, Fink, Jacobs, Glaser, Weil & Shapiro, LLP.  Through May
31, 2000 he was a senior partner of said firm, which provided legal services to
the Company during the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.   During the years
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company made payments of approximately
$689,000 and $484,000, respectively, to Christensen, Miller, Fink, Jacobs,
Glaser, Weil & Shapiro, LLP.

All of the services and fees described above were approved by the Company's
Audit Committee.  It is the Audit Committee's policy to approve all services to
be performed by the Company's principal accountant prior to the rendering of
those services.

All hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement to audit the
Company's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed
to work performed by persons that were the full time, permanent employees of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE
APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE
COMPANY.


                               OTHER BUSINESS

As of the date of this statement, management knows of no business to be
presented at the meeting that is not referred to in the accompanying notice,
other than the approval of the minutes of the last shareholders' meeting, which
action will not amount to ratification of the actions taken at that meeting.
As to other business that may properly come before the meeting, it is intended
that the proxies properly executed and returned will be voted in respect
thereof at the discretion of the person voting the proxies in accordance with
the best judgment of that person.

                                 APPENDIX A

                        THE INTERGROUP CORPORATION

                         AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

Purpose:
-------

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors
in fulfilling its responsibility of overseeing management's conduct of the
Company's financial reporting process, the Company's systems of internal
accounting and financial controls, and the annual independent audit of the
Company's financial statements.

In discharging its oversight role, the Committee is empowered to investigate
any matter brought to its attention and shall have full access to all books,
records, facilities and personnel of the Company and the power to retain
outside counsel, auditors or other experts for this purpose. The Board and the
Committee are in place to represent the Company's shareholders, and the outside
auditor is ultimately accountable to the Board and the Committee as such
representatives of shareholders. It is the responsibility of the Committee to
maintain free and open means of communication between the Board, the outside
auditor and the financial management and internal auditors of the Company.

The Committee shall review the adequacy of this Charter on an annual basis.

Membership:
----------

The Committee shall be comprised of "independent" directors that meet the
composition requirements as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") and The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") as may be modified
and supplemented from time to time.  Accordingly, all of the members of the
Committee will be directors:

1.  Who have no relationship to the Company that may interfere with the
exercise of their independence from management and the Company;

2.  Are not affiliates of the Company;

3.  Do not receive any compensation from the Company other than in the capacity
as director; and

4.  Who are financially literate or who become financially literate within a
reasonable period of time after appointment to the Committee.

In addition, at least one member of the Committee will qualify as an audit
committee financial expert as defined by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

The members of the Committee shall be elected by the Board at the annual
meeting of the Board and shall serve until their successors shall be duly
elected and qualified. Unless a Chairman of the Committee is elected by the
full Board, the members of the Committee may designate a Chairman of the
Committee by majority vote of the full Committee Membership.

Meetings:
--------

The Committee shall meet at least four times annually, or more frequently as
circumstances dictate. A majority of the members of the Committee shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Minutes of each meeting of
the Committee should be recorded by the Secretary to the Committee. Approval by
a majority of the members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present
shall constitute approval by the Committee. The Committee may also act by
unanimous written consent without a meeting. As part of its job to foster open

                                     14


communication, the Committee should meet at least annually with management and
the independent accountants in separate executive sessions to discuss any
matters that the Committee or each of these groups believe should be discussed
privately. In addition, the Committee or at least its Chairman should meet with
the independent accountants and management quarterly to review the Company's
financials consistent with #2 below. The Committee may request any officer or
employee of the Company or the Company's outside counsel or independent auditor
to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any members of, or
consultants to, the Committee.

Key Responsibilities:
--------------------

The Committee's job is one of oversight, and it recognizes that the Company's
management is responsible for preparing the Company's financial statements and
that the outside auditor is responsible for auditing those financial statements
pursuant to professional standards. Additionally, the Committee recognizes that
financial management has more time, knowledge and detailed information about
the Company than do Committee members. Consequently, in carrying out its
oversight responsibilities, the Committee is not providing any expert or
special assurance as to the Company's financial statements or any professional
certification as to the outside auditor's work.

The following functions shall be the common recurring activities of the
Committee in carrying out its oversight function. These functions are set forth
as a guide with the understanding that the Committee may diverge from this
guide as appropriate given the circumstances.

     1.  The Committee shall review with management and the outside auditor the
audited financial statements to be included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB (or the Annual Report to Shareholders if distributed prior to the
filing of the Form 10-KSB) prior to the filing of the Form 10-KSB or, if deemed
appropriate, prior to any year-end earnings release. The Committee shall review
and consider with the outside auditors all matters required to be discussed by
Statement of Auditing Standards ("SAS") No. 61, as amended by SAS No. 90, by
auditors with audit committees.

     2.  As a whole, or through the Committee chair, the Committee shall review
with the outside auditor the Company's interim financial results to be included
in the Company's quarterly reports to be filed with Securities and Exchange
Commission and the matters required to be discussed by SAS No. 61, as amended
by SAS No. 90 with respect to quarterly financial statements. Such review will
occur prior to the Company's filing of the Form 10-QSB or, if deemed
appropriate, prior to any quarterly earnings releases.

     3.  Review disclosures made to the Committee by the Company's CEO and CFO
during their certification process for the Form 10-KSB and Form 10-QSB about
any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls or
material weaknesses therein and any fraud involving management or other
employees who have a significant role in the Company's internal controls.

     4.  The Committee shall:

      (a)  request from the outside auditor annually a formal written statement
delineating all relationships between the auditor and the Company consistent
with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1;

      (b) discuss with the outside auditor any disclosed relationships or
services which may impact the outside auditor's objectivity or independence;
and

      (c)  recommend that the Board take appropriate action in response to the
outside auditor's report to satisfy itself of the auditor's independence.


     5.  The Committee shall have the sole authority to appoint or replace the
independent auditor (subject, if applicable, to shareholder ratification). The
Committee shall be directly responsible for the compensation and oversight of
the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements
between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting)
for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work.  The
independent auditor shall report directly to the Committee.

                                     15


     6.  The Committee shall preapprove all auditing services and permitted
non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for
the company by its independent auditor, subject to the de minimus exceptions
for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act
which are approved by the Committee prior to the completion of the audit. The
Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees consisting of one or
more members when appropriate, including the authority to grant preapprovals of
audit and permitted nonaudit services, provided that decisions of such
subcommittee to grant preapprovals shall be presented to the full Committee at
its next scheduled meeting.

     7.   Review and discuss quarterly reports from the independent auditors
on:

      (a)  All critical accounting policies and practices to be used.

      (b) All alternative treatments of financial information within generally
accepted accounting principles that have been discussed with management,
ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments, and
the treatment preferred by the independent auditor.

      (c) Other material written communications between the independent auditor
and management, such as any management letter or schedule of unadjusted
differences.

     8.  Periodically consult with the independent accountants, out of the
presence of management, about internal controls and the fullness and accuracy
of the organization's financial statements.

     9.  Recommend to the Board policies for the Company's hiring of employees
or former employees of the independent auditor who participated in any capacity
in the audit of the Company.

     10.  Discuss with management the Company's use of "pro forma" or
"adjusted" non-GAAP information, as well as financial information and earnings
guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies. Such discussion may be done
generally (consisting of discussing the types of information to be disclosed
and the types of presentations to be made).

     11.  Establish regular and separate systems of reporting to the Committee
by each of management, the independent accountants, and the internal
accountants regarding any significant judgments made in management's
preparation of the financial statements, and the view of each as to
appropriateness of such judgments.

     12.  Following completion of the annual audit, review separately with each
of management and the independent accountants any significant difficulties
encountered during the course of the audit, including any restrictions on the
scope of work or access to required information.

     13.  Review any significant disagreement among management and the
independent accountants in connection with the preparation of the financial
statements.

     14.  Establish procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of
complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting
controls or auditing matters, and the confidential, anonymous submission by
employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

                                     16


     15.  Establish, review, and update periodically a Code of Ethical Conduct,
and ensure that management has established a system to enforce this Code.

     16.  Review and approve any transactions between the Company and its
officers, directors or 5% shareholders.

     17.  The Committee shall have the authority, to the extent it deems
necessary or appropriate, to retain independent legal, accounting or other
advisors. The Company shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by
the Committee, for payment of compensation to the independent auditor for the
purpose of rendering or issuing an audit report and to any advisors employed by
the Committee.


Reporting Responsibilities:

The Committee shall prepare the report required by the rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission to be included in the Company's annual proxy statement.

The Committee shall prepare such other reports for the full Board of Directors
and others as it shall deem necessary to discharge its responsibilities under
this Charter.
