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, 2010.  The balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 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
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2009-13 (an update to ASC 605-25), Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”) which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010; however, early adoption is permitted. In arrangements with multiple deliverables, ASU 2009-13 permits entities to use management’s best estimate of selling price to value individual deliverables when those deliverables have never been sold separately or when third-party evidence is not available. In addition, any discounts provided in multiple-element arrangements will be allocated on the basis of the relative selling price of each deliverable. The implementation of ASU 2009-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires new disclosures related to fair value measurements and clarifies existing disclosure requirements about the level of disaggregation, inputs and valuation techniques. Specifically, reporting entities now must disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. In addition, in the reconciliation for Level 3 fair value measurements, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements. The guidance clarifies that a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities for disclosure of fair value measurement, considering the level of disaggregated information required by other applicable U.S. GAAP guidance and should also provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for each class of assets and liabilities. This guidance was effective for the Company on January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation for Level 3 fair value measurements, which became effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. The adoption of the applicable sections of this guidance effective on January 1, 2010 and 2011 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2010-17”). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on the criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate. A vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone in its entirety as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive. This statement is effective prospectively for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The implementation of ASU 2010-17 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB amended its existing guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets. This authoritative guidance modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if there are qualitative factors indicating that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance which requires goodwill of a reporting unit to be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. This authoritative guidance becomes effective for the Company in fiscal 2012. The implementation of this authoritative guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In April 2011, the FASB issued new guidance clarifying when a debt restructuring by a creditor constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, which is effective July 1, 2011 for all restructurings that occurred on or after January 1, 2011. Specifically, the guidance clarifies that a troubled debt restructuring only exists when a creditor makes a concession in interest rates or payment terms to a debtor experiencing financial difficulties. It provides additional guidance on determining what constitutes a concession, and on the use of probability in determining if a debtor could be experiencing financial difficulty prior to defaulting on payments. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
3.   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR MONTY’S RESTAURANT, MARINA AND OFFICE/RETAIL PROPERTY, COCONUT GROVE, FLORIDA
The Company, through two 50%-owned entities, Bayshore Landing, LLC (“Landing”) and Bayshore Rawbar, LLC (“Rawbar”), (collectively, “Bayshore”) owns a restaurant, office/retail and marina property located in Coconut Grove (Miami), Florida known as Monty’s (the “Monty’s Property”).
 
In March 2011 Bayshore amended its loan agreement with the same bank.  Effective March 11, 2011 the principal balance of the loan was paid down by approximately $1.6 million to $8.8 million with the proceeds of the restricted cash balance and the remaining restricted cash balances were released by the bank. The loan is to be repaid in monthly installments of approximately $81,500 including principal and interest.  Interest remains at the same terms, and the swap agreement remains in place for the reduced balance.  The note is due, with a balloon payment on August 19, 2020.  The amendment commitment from the bank required certain covenants, of which all are in compliance.
 
In conjunction with this loan amendment Bayshore was required to pay down the interest rate swap contract liability by $198,400, as discussed in Note 6 below.
 
Summarized combined statements of income for Landing and Rawbar for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are presented below (Note: the Company’s ownership percentage in these operations is 50%):

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, 2011 and 2010 is summarized below:

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 net realized gain from sales of marketable securities of approximately $79,000 consisted of approximately $94,000 of gross gains net of $15,000 of gross losses. 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.

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, 2011, the Company’s portfolio of other investments had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $3.8 million.  The Company has committed to fund an additional $610,000 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, 2011 the Company contributed an additional $55,000 toward fulfilling capital commitments on existing investments.  Cash distributions received from other investments for the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled approximately $30,000 from one investment in a privately owned partnership owning diversified operating companies.

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, 2011 the Company does not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired. There were no OTTI impairment valuation adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

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.

In conjunction with amendment of the Bayshore bank loan in March 2011 (Note 3), the interest rate swap contract liability was paid down by $198,400 (in the same proportion as the amount of the loan principal paid down).  This amount represents a previously unrealized loss which upon pay down of the swap was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income and recorded as a realized loss on interest rate swap contract within the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
As of March 31, 2011 the fair value of this hedge was an unrealized loss of approximately $1,201,000, as compared with an unrealized loss of $1,462,000 as of December 31, 2010 which resulted in an unrealized gain of $261,000 (or $130,500, net of noncontrolling interest) for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  This amount has been recorded as other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to interest expense over the life of the contract.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL 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.

(a)
Other investments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent such as member units or an ownership interest in partners’ capital to which a proportionate share of net assets is attributed, “NAV”).  This class primarily consists of private equity funds that have varying investment focus.  These investments can never be redeemed with the funds. Instead, the nature of the investments in this class is that distributions are received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of the fund.  If these investments were held it is estimated that the underlying assets of the fund would be liquidated over 5 to 10 years.  As of March 31, 2011, it is probable that all of the investments in this class will be sold at an amount different from the NAV of the Company’s ownership interest in partners’ capital.  Therefore, the fair values of the investments in this class have been estimated using recent observable information such as audited financial statements and/or statements of partners’ capital obtained directly from investees on a quarterly or other regular basis. As of March 31, 2011 the amount of the Company’s unfunded commitments related to the aforementioned investments is approximately $610,000.

(b)
This class of other investments above which are measured on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 unobservable inputs consist of investments primarily in commercial real estate in Florida through private partnerships and two investments in the stock of private banks in Florida and Texas.  The Company does not know when it will have the ability to redeem the investments and has categorized them as a Level 3 fair value measurement.  The Level 3 real estate and related investments of approximately $1 million primarily consist of one investment in a commercial building located near the Company’s offices purchased in 2005.  This investment is measured using primarily inputs provided by the managing member of the partnerships with whom the Company has done similar transactions in the past and is well known to management.  The fair values of these real estate investments have been estimated using the net asset value of the Company’s ownership interest in partners’ capital. There have been no gains or losses realized or unrealized relating to these investments.  The investments in private bank stocks include a private bank and trust located in Coral Gables, Florida in the amount of $250,000 made in 2009, and a $50,000 investment in a bank located in El Campo, Texas made in 2010. The fair values of these bank stock investments have been estimated using the cost method less distributions received and other than temporary impairments. This investment is valued using inputs provided by the management of the banks.

8.  SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has three reportable segments: Real estate rentals; Food and Beverage sales; and Other investments and related income.  The Real estate and rentals segment primarily includes the leasing of its Grove Isle property, marina dock rentals at both Monty’s and Grove Isle marinas, and the leasing of office and retail space at its Monty’s property.  The Food and Beverage sales segment consists of the Monty’s restaurant operation.  Lastly, the Other investment and related income segment includes all of the Company’s other investments, marketable securities, loans, notes and other receivables and the Grove Isle spa operations which individually do not meet the criteria as a reportable segment.

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, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of March 31, 2011.
     

 
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.

Realized loss from interest rate swap contract:
In conjunction with amendment of the Bayshore bank loan in March 2011 the interest rate swap contract liability was paid down by $198,400 (in the same proportion as the amount of the loan principal paid down).  As a result, the Company reclassified a previously unrealized loss of $198,400 from accumulated other comprehensive income to realized loss on interest rate swap contract within the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
EXPENSES
Expenses for rental and other properties for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $182,000 and $164,000, respectively.  This increase of $18,000 (or 11%) was primarily due to increased repairs and maintenance expenses relating to the Grove Isle property.
 
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.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $381,000 and $282,000, respectively.  This increase of approximately $99,000 (or 35%) was primarily due to amortization of loan costs associated with the Monty’s loan modification completed in March 2011.

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 $7.1 million in 2011 and contributions committed to other investments of approximately $610,000 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 2011 is the bank mortgage note payable on the Grove Isle property. In April 2011 the Company renewed and modified the existing loan agreement with the same bank.  The principal balance of the loan was paid down by $650,000 from $3,559,000 to $2,899,000.  The loan matures on December 31, 2011 and calls for the same monthly principal payments of $10,000 plus interest calculated at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 3%. At maturity we have an option to extend the loan to December 31, 2012 under essentially the same terms.

Also included in the maturing debt obligations for 2011 is a note payable to the Company’s 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“TGIF”) of approximately $3.3 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, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $309,000. This was primarily from the Company’s rental operations cash flow.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $300,000. This consisted primarily of approximately $590,000 in net proceeds from sales of marketable securities and distributions from other investment of $30,000.  These sources of funds were partially offset by purchases of marketable securities of $165,000, contributions to other investments of $55,000 and additions to fixed assets of $100,000.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $289,000.  This primarily consisted of withdraws from restricted cash accounts of $2.4 million in conjunction with Bayshore loan amendment completed in March 2011 and after which no restricted cash balance remains. These sources of funds were partially offset by uses of funds consisting primarily of loan principal repayments of $1.8 and interest rate swap contract partial settlement of $198,000, primarily related to Bayshore loan amendment.

(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
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)

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.     Legal Proceedings
The Company was 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 claim by the association has been dismissed as to all counts related to the Company however the association has filed an appeal.  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.
