HMG/COURTLAND PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.   CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc. (the "Company") and entities in which the Company owns a majority voting interest or controlling financial interest. All material transactions and balances with consolidated and unconsolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation or as required under the equity method.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

ASU No. 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810) - Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.” (“ASU 2009-17”)
ASU 2009-17 amends prior guidance to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. ASU 2009-17 requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s consolidated financial statements. The provisions of ASU 2009-17 became effective on January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”)
ASU 2010-06 amends ASC Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall”, and requires reporting entities to disclose (1) the amount of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers, and (2) separate information about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).  ASU 2010-06 also requires reporting entities to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and disclose the inputs and valuation techniques for fair value measurements that fall within Levels 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  These disclosures and clarification are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.  Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The provisions of ASU 2010-06 became effective on January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events – Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU 2010-09”)
ASU 2010-09 amends ASC Subtopic 855-10, “Subsequent Events – Overall” (“ASC 855-10”) and requires an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued but removed the requirement to disclose this date in the notes to the entity’s consolidated financial statements. The amendments are effective upon issuance of the final update and accordingly, the Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-09 during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The adoption of these provisions did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 
 
4

 

 

ASU No. 2009-16, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) - Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.”  (“ASU 2009-16”)
ASU 2009-16 amends prior accounting guidance to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. ASU 2009-16 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. ASU 2009-16 also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The provisions of ASU 2009-16 became effective on January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

ASU No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) – Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2009-13”)
ASU 2009-13 requires the use of the relative selling price method when allocating revenue in these types of arrangements. This method allows a vendor to use its best estimate of selling price if neither vendor specific objective evidence nor third party evidence of selling price exists when evaluating multiple deliverable arrangements. This standard update is effective January 1, 2011 and may be adopted prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the date of adoption or retrospectively for all revenue arrangements for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard update will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2009-14, “Software (Topic 985) – Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2009-14”)
ASU 2009-14 requires tangible products that contain software and non-software elements that work together to deliver the products essential functionality to be evaluated under the accounting standard regarding multiple deliverable arrangements. This standard update is effective January 1, 2011 and may be adopted prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the date of adoption or retrospectively for all revenue arrangements for all periods presented. The Company does not expect that this standard update will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives.” (“ASU 2010-11”)
 ASU 2010-11 clarifies that the only form of an embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements are those that relate to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The provisions of ASU 2010-11 will be effective on July 1, 2010 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  
ASU 2010-13, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades." (“ASU 2010-13”)
ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity's equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in ASU 2010-13 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4.   INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Investments in marketable securities consist primarily of large capital corporate equity and debt securities in varying industries or issued by government agencies with readily determinable fair values. These securities are stated at market value, as determined by the most recent traded price of each security at the balance sheet date.  Consistent with the Company's overall current investment objectives and activities its entire marketable securities portfolio is classified as trading.

Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments in marketable securities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 is summarized below:
   
Three Months Ended March 31,
 
Description
 
2010
   
2009
 
Net realized gain (loss) from sales of securities
  $ 246,000     $ (60,000 )
Unrealized net loss in trading securities
    (118,000 )     (100,000 )
Total net gain (loss) from investments in marketable securities
  $ 128,000     $ (160,000 )
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 net realized gain from sales of marketable securities of approximately $246,000 consisted of approximately $267,000 of gross gains net of $21,000 of gross losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 net realized loss from sales of marketable securities of approximately $60,000 consisted of approximately $96,000 of gross losses net of $36,000 of gross gains.

Investment gains and losses on marketable securities may fluctuate significantly from period to period in the future and could have a significant impact on the Company's net earnings. However, the amount of investment gains or losses on marketable securities for any given period has no predictive value and variations in amount from period to period have no practical analytical value.

5.   OTHER INVESTMENTS
As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s portfolio of other investments had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $3.7 million.  The Company has committed to fund an additional $904,000 as required by agreements with the investees.  The carrying value of these investments is equal to contributions less distributions and loss valuation adjustments.  During the three months ended March 31, 2010 the Company made one new investment in an alternative focus private equity fund for $250,000 and contributed an additional $16,000 toward fulfilling capital commitments on another investment.  Cash distributions received from other investments for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled approximately $231,000 and were primarily from one investment in a privately owned partnership owning diversified operating companies, and from which the company recognized a gain of approximately $177,000.

When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis.

In accordance with ASC Topic 320-10-65, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments as of March 31, 2010 the Company does not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired. And there were no OTTI impairment valuation adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.


 6. INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACT
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through its borrowing activities.  In order to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap contract under which the Company agrees to pay an amount equal to a specified rate of 7.57% times a notional principal approximating the outstanding loan balance, and to receive in return an amount equal to 2.45% plus the one-month LIBOR Rate times the same notional amount.  The Company designated this interest rate swap contract as a cash flow hedge.  As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the fair value of the cash flow hedge was a loss of approximately $1,252,000 and $1,144,000, respectively, which has been recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) and will be reclassified to interest expense over the life of the contract.

7. FAIR VALUE INSTRUMENTS
 
In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the Company measures cash equivalents, marketable securities, other investments and interest rate swap contract at fair value. Our cash equivalents, marketable securities and interest rate swap contract are classified within Level 1 or Level 2. This is because our cash equivalents, marketable securities and interest rate swap are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. Our other investments are classified within Level 3 because they are valued using valuation models which use some inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity and are significant.

9. INCOME TAXES
We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” on January 1, 2007.  This topic clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Topic 740-10 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
     
Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our consolidated financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of March 31, 2010.
     
 
 
 
10

 
 
 
We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the consolidated financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared with the same period in 2009 restaurant sales decreased by approximately $390,000 (or 21%), with food sales decreasing by $202,000 (or 18%) and beverage sales decreasing $188,000 (or 24%). The decline in sales is believed to be as a result of decreased tourism due to the general downturn in the local and national economy.  The first quarter 2010 also saw unusually cold weather for South Florida which contributed to the lower demand for outside restaurant dining.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared with the same period in 2009 food and beverage cost of sales decreased by $58,000 (or 12%) and food and beverage labor and related costs decreased by $44,000 (or 11%) as a result of decreased sales.  And for the same comparable periods food and beverage other operating expenses decreased by $29,000 (or 20%) primarily as a result of decrease repairs and maintenance expenses.

For comparisons of all food and beverage related expenses refer to Restaurant Operations (above) summarized statement of income for Monty’s restaurant.

For comparisons of all marina related expenses refer to Marina Operations (above) for summarized and combined statements of income for marina operations.

For comparisons of all spa related expenses refer to Spa Operations (above) for summarized statements of income for spa operations.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $260,000 and $280,000, respectively.  This decrease of $20,000 (or 7%) was primarily due to decreased loan balances.

EFFECT OF INFLATION:
Inflation affects the costs of operating and maintaining the Company's investments.  In addition, rentals under certain leases are based in part on the lessee's sales and tend to increase with inflation, and certain leases provide for periodic adjustments according to changes in predetermined price indices.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL EXPENDITURE REQUIREMENTS AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's material commitments primarily consist of maturities of debt obligations of approximately $8.0 million in 2010 and contributions committed to other investments of approximately $900,000 due upon demand.  The funds necessary to meet these obligations are expected from the proceeds from the sales of properties or investments, bank construction loan, refinancing of existing bank loans, distributions from investments and available cash.

Included in the maturing debt obligations for 2010 is the bank mortgage note payable on the Grove Isle property which matures in September 2010. The Company is in the process of refinancing this loan and expects to do so prior to maturity.

Also included in the maturing debt obligations for 2010 is a note payable to the Company’s 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“TGIF”) of approximately $3.6 million due on demand. The obligation due to TGIF will be paid with funds available from distributions from its investment in TGIF and from available cash.

MATERIAL COMPONENTS OF CASH FLOWS
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $405,000. This was primarily from the Company’s rental operations cash flow.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $1,257,000. This consisted primarily of approximately $1,457,000 in net proceeds from sales of marketable securities, distributions from other investment of $231,000 and collections of notes receivable of $70,000.  These sources of funds were partially offset by purchases of marketable securities of $182,000, contributions to other investments of $265,000 and additions to fixed assets of $55,000.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $240,000 consisting of repayments of mortgage notes payable.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that material information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries, which we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, was made known to them by others within those entities and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

(b)  
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter which have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.     Legal Proceedings
The Company is a co-defendant in two lawsuits in the circuit court in Miami Dade County Florida. These cases arose from claims by a condominium association and resident seeking a declaratory judgment regarding certain provisions of the declaration of condominium relating to the Grove Isle Club and the developer. The Company believes that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position. The ultimate outcome of this litigation cannot presently be determined. However, in management’s opinion the likelihood of a material adverse outcome is remote. Accordingly, adjustments, if any that might result from the resolution of this matter have not been reflected in the financial statements.
