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 consolidated 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, 2011. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 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

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which gives entities testing goodwill for impairment the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of a reporting unit in step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. Otherwise, further testing would not be needed. The amended guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this pronouncement and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance that gives an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income. The entity is also required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statements(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The guidance is to be applied retrospectively, for fiscal periods and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is permitted. In December 2011, the FASB issued new guidance deferring the changes in the June 2011 relating to presentation of classification adjustments. The Company’s adoption of the new guidance, other than that related to presentation of reclassification adjustments, as of January 1, 2012 pertained to disclosure and presentation only and did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This ASU was issued to provide largely identical guidance about fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for entities that disclose the fair value of an asset, a liability, or an instrument classified in shareholders’ equity in their consolidated financial statements as that provided in the International Accounting Standards Board’s new IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement. This ASU does not extend the use of fair value but, rather, provides guidance about how fair value should be applied where it already is required or permitted under GAAP. This guidance is to be applied prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. In the period of adoption, a reporting entity will be required to disclose a change, if any, in valuation technique and related inputs that results from applying the ASU to quantify the total effect, if practicable. The Company has adopted this pronouncement and it did not have a material impact on its 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, 2012 and 2011 is summarized below:

    Three Months Ended March 31,
Description   2012   2011
Net realized gain from sales of securities   $ 49,000     $ 79,000  
Unrealized net gain (loss) in trading securities     43,000       (17,000 )
Total net gain from investments in marketable securities   $ 92,000     $ 62,000  

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 net realized gain from sales of marketable securities of approximately $49,000 consisted of approximately $65,000 of gross gains net of $16,000 of gross losses. 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.

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, 2012, the Company’s portfolio of other investments had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $3.7 million. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has committed to fund approximately $966,000 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, 2012, the Company contributed an additional $23,000 toward fulfilling capital commitments on existing investments, plus a new investment in a medical technology related company for $51,000 which was fully funded in January 2012. Cash distributions received from other investments for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled approximately $107,000 from one investment in a privately owned partnership owning diversified operating companies.

Net income from other investments for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, is summarized below:

      2012       2011  
Partnership owning diversified businesses   $ 31,000     $  
Venture capital fund – technology            
Income from investment in 49% owned affiliate (T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc.)     17,000       9,000

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, 2012 the Company recorded a loss of approximately $28,000 from an investment in a partnership which operates and leases executive suites in Miami, Florida. The Company has funded $120,000 to date in this investment and the losses incurred were associated with the initial start up of the venture in 2010.There were no OTTI impairment valuation adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

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, 2012 the fair value of this hedge was an unrealized loss of approximately $1,837,000, as compared with an unrealized loss of $1,975,000 as of December 31, 2011 which resulted in an unrealized gain of $138,000 (or $69,000, net of noncontrolling interest) for the three months ended March 31, 2012. 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.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

(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, 2012, 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. In January 2012 the Company invested approximately $51,000 in a medical technology entity representing the full commitment to this investment. As of March 31, 2012, the amount of the Company’s unfunded commitments related to the aforementioned investments is approximately $966,000.

(b) 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. 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, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of March 31, 2012.

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.

Spa revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared with the same period in 2011 increased by $9,000 (or 8%). This came at the expense of higher promotional costs which was the main reason Spa expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared with the same period in 2011 increased by $22,000 (or 21%).

Net realized and unrealized gain from investments in marketable securities:

Net realized and unrealized gain from investments in marketable securities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $92,000 and $62,000, respectively. For further details refer to Note 4 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

12
 

Net income from other investments:

Net income from other investments for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $48,000 and $9,000, respectively. For further details refer to Note 5 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

 

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. There was no realized loss from the interest rate swap contract for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

EXPENSES

Expenses for rental and other properties for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $115,000 and $182,000, respectively. This decrease of $67,000 (or 37%) was primarily due to decreased ground rent at the Monty’s property due to prior period rent adjustments.

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, 2012 and 2011 were $223,000 and $381,000, respectively. This decrease of approximately $158,000 (or 41%) was primarily due to non-recurring amortization of loan costs associated with the Monty’s loan modification completed in March 2011.

Professional fees and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $46,000 and $87,000, respectively. This decrease of $41,000 (or 47%) was primarily due to lower legal expenses at the Monty’s property and lower professional fees at the corporate level.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $220,000 and $252,000, respectively. This decrease of $32,000 (or 13%) was primarily due to lower outstanding loan balance as a result of the previously reported refinancing of the Monty’s property bank loan 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 $6.2 million in 2012 and contributions committed to other investments of approximately $966,000 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 2012 is a note payable to the Company’s 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“TGIF”) of approximately $3.2 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, 2012, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $497,000. This was primarily from the Company’s rental operations cash flow.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $172,000.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

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.
