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, 2018. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or 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 May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers when it satisfies performance obligations. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income: Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, which amends ASC Topic 610-20. ASU No. 2017-05 provides guidance on how entities recognize sales, including partial sales, of nonfinancial assets (and in-substance nonfinancial assets) to non-customers. ASU No. 2017-05 requires the seller to recognize a full gain or loss in a partial sale of nonfinancial assets, to the extent control is not retained. Any noncontrolling interest retained by the seller would, accordingly, be measured at fair value. This guidance became effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718).” ASU 2018-07 simplifies the accounting for nonemployee stock-based payment transactions. This ASU is effective for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early application is permitted. The Company has adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2019 and there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which created a new Topic, ASC Topic 842 and established the core principle that a lessee should recognize the assets, representing rights-of-use, and liabilities to make lease payments that arise from leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an election under which such assets and liabilities would not be recognized, and lease expense would be recognized generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. This ASU is effective for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

3. 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. Accordingly, all unrealized gains (losses) on this portfolio are recorded in income. Included in investments in marketable securities is approximately $1.95 million and $1.76 million of large capital real estate investment trusts (REITs) as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Net realized and unrealized gain from investments in marketable securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 is summarized below:

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, net realized gain from sales of marketable securities was approximately $16,000 which consisted of $18,000 of gross gains and $2,000 of gross losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net realized loss from sales of marketable securities was approximately $11,000 and consisted of approximately $32,000 of gross losses net of $21,000 of gross gains.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, net realized gain from sales of marketable securities was approximately $4,000 which approximately all consisted of gross gains. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net realized loss from sales of marketable securities was approximately $4,000 and consisted of approximately $29,000 of gross losses net of $25,000 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.

4. OTHER INVESTMENTS

As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s portfolio of other investments had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $6.2 million and we have committed to fund approximately $884,000 as required by agreements with the investees. The carrying value of these investments is equal to contributions less distributions and loss valuation adjustments, if any.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we made cash contributions to other investments of approximately $655,000. This consisted of $500,000 in two new investments. One for $200,000 which holds residential mortgages acquired from a bank at discount and the other for $300,000 in a partnership that is constructing residential apartments in Atlanta, GA. We also made follow on contributions to existing investments of approximately $155,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we received cash distributions from other investments of approximately $405,000. This consisted of distributions from existing investments (primarily real estate related). Also, in the first quarter of 2019 the Company’s $300,000 investments in a private insurance company publicly registered all shares and began trading on the NASDAQ on March 29, 2019. Accordingly, we have transferred this investment to marketable securities. As of June 30, 2019, this investment had an unrealized loss of approximately $94,000.

Net income from other investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, is summarized below:

The following tables present gross unrealized losses and fair values for those investments that were in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, aggregated by investment category and the length of time that investments have been in a continuous loss position:

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 there were no impairment valuation adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the Company measures cash and cash equivalents and marketable debt and equity securities at fair value on a recurring basis. Other investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

The following are the major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) and significant other observable inputs (Level 2). For the periods presented, there were no major assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis where significant unobservable inputs were used (Level 3):

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

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for corporate debt securities and time deposits based on a market-based approach using observable (Level 2) inputs such as prices of similar assets in active markets.

6. INCOME TAXES

The Company as a qualifying real estate investment trust (“REIT”) distributes its taxable ordinary income to stockholders in conformity with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and is not required to report deferred items due to its ability to distribute all taxable income. In addition, net operating losses can be carried forward to reduce future taxable income but cannot be carried back.

The Company’s 95%-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, CII, files a separate income tax return and its operations are not included in the REIT’s income tax return.

Distributed capital gains on sales of real estate as they relate to REIT activities are not subject to taxes; however, undistributed capital gains may be subject to corporate tax.

On December 14, 2018 the Company declared a capital gain dividend of $0.50 per share which was payable on January 9, 2019 to all shareholders of record as of December 28, 2018.

On March 7, 2018 the Company declared a capital gain dividend of $2.50 per share which is payable on March 30, 2018 to all shareholders of record as of March 21, 2018.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASC Topic 740 requires a Company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of “temporary differences” by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred taxes only pertain to CII. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company has recorded a net deferred tax liability of $51,000 and $48,000, respectively, primarily as a result of timing differences associated with the carrying value of the investment in affiliate (TGIF) and other investments. CII’s NOL carryover to 2019 is estimated at $854,000 and has been fully reserved due to CII historically having tax losses.

The provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income consists of the following:

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 740 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. This topic also provides guidance on de-recognition, 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, 2018. The Company’s federal income tax returns since 2014 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for a period of three years after the returns were filed.

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.

7. STOCK OPTIONS

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 there were no options granted, expired or forfeited.

In January and March 2018 three directors and one officer exercised options to purchase a total of 10,900 shares at $9.31 per share (options to purchase 1,600 shares by one director were exchanged for new options via Stock Option Agreement re-load provision). Stock based compensation expense is recognized using the fair-value method for all awards.

The following table summarizes information concerning outstanding and exercisable options as of June 30, 2019:

As of June 30, 2019, the stock options outstanding and exercisable had no intrinsic value.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

As previously reported on Form 8-K dated July 19, 2019, pursuant to the terms of a Construction and Mini Perm Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”), between Murano At Three Oaks Associates LLC, a Florida limited liability company formed in September 2018 (the “Borrower”) which is 25% owned by HMG, and PNC Bank, National Association (“Lender”), Lender provided a construction loan to the Borrower for the principal sum of approximately $41.59 million (“Loan”).
