Item 8.01 Other Events

On February 13, 2014, Evon Corporation (“Evon”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Francisco, against Justice Investors (“Justice”), Portsmouth Square, Inc. (“Portsmouth”), and Geoffrey M. Palermo. Portsmouth is a direct, majority-owned subsidiary of Registrant and Justice is an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of Registrant. Mr. Palermo is the Managing Director of Justice and the Assistant Secretary of Portsmouth. The complaint claims breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing against Justice; breach of fiduciary duties against Portsmouth; conversion and securities fraud in violation of 15 U.S.C. 8(j) against Justice and Portsmouth; and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, negligent interference with prospective economic advantage and fraud/concealment against Justice, Portsmouth and Mr. Palermo. The complaint arises out of the redemption by Justice of limited partnership interests in Justice held by parties other than Portsmouth as described in Registrant’s Form 8-K dated December 13, 2013 and the payment of a transfer tax in the amount of $4,658,048.55 assessed by the City of San Francisco.

Portsmouth was served with a copy of the complaint on February 20, 2014. Neither Justice nor Mr. Palermo has been served in this matter. Registrant believes the allegations and claims are without merit and will vigorously defend this complaint; however, no prediction can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter.

The information in this current report on Form 8-K and exhibit shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, unless we specifically incorporate the foregoing information into those documents by reference.
