PART I

Item 1.    BUSINESS

Overview

        Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. is a Hawaii corporation, the successor to a business organized in 1909. The Company consists of a landholding and operating parent company and its principal subsidiaries, including Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd. and Kapalua Land Company, Ltd. Depending upon the context, the terms the "Company," "we," "our," and "us," refer to either Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. alone, or to Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively.

        We have three operating segments as follows:

        For additional financial information about these segments, see Segment Information, Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements.

2007 Business Development

        This is a summary of material business developments in 2007. For more information about business developments in 2007, see Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in this annual report.

        Private Placement of Common Stock—In March, we raised approximately $14,900,000 in gross proceeds through a private placement of 517,242 shares of common stock. The funds were initially used to pay down our revolving credit facility.

        Ritz-Carlton Land Sale—In March, we sold the land underlying the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel and obtained an interest in a joint venture for the ownership of the hotel and surrounding property (Note 4 to consolidated financial statements).

        Kapalua Bay Holdings Revenue Recognition—In March, construction of the condominiums by Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC had progressed to the point at which the joint venture began to recognize revenues and profit from sales of whole and fractional units on the percentage-of-completion method (Note 4 to consolidated financial statements).

        Pineapple Operations—In April, we concluded that as of June 30, 2007 we would cease the processing of substantially all solid-pack canned pineapple and focus primarily on premium fresh

1


pineapple sales. Job fairs and re-employment transition activities were held throughout the remainder of the second quarter for the affected employees. In October and November most of our can-making and pineapple processing equipment was auctioned. In November, we concluded a consignment agreement with Calavo Growers, Inc. to sell, market and distribute Maui Gold® pineapple in the continental United States and Canada. The consignment arrangement began in December and most of our California sales office staff were laid off as of December 31 (Note 6 to consolidated financial statements).

        Board Appointment and Annual Meeting of Shareholders—In May, our shareholders (i) elected Miles R. Gilburne, and re-elected David A. Heenan and Kent T. Lucien as Class Two Directors; and (ii) approved an amendment to the Articles of Association to authorize an additional 14,000,000 shares of common stock.

        LPGA—In July, we entered into a five-year agreement with the Ladies Professional Golf Association, or LPGA, to annually host an official 72-hole stroke play tournament on the Bay Course beginning in October 2008, and we announced that LPGA player Morgan Pressel will be Kapalua Resort's official touring professional representing Kapalua Resort at LPGA tournaments.

        Ritz-Carlton Closure—In July, the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel closed for an extensive renovation and rooms conversion project and re-opened on December 28, 2007. The converted condominiums are expected to be available for sale starting March 15, 2008.

        Mountain Adventure Center—In August, we began design and construction of our mountain adventure center, which replaced the former Village Course clubhouse, and also began construction of zip-lines and various other mountain activities at a new mountain outpost location. The Adventure Center opened in December 2007 and the Mountain Outpost began operating in January 2008.

        Bay Golf Course Closure—In August, we closed the back-nine holes of the Bay Course to renovate and re-seed the greens. We reopened the course in December. Several greens and tees still need to be renovated so that the entire course will be completed in time for the second annual Kapalua LPGA tournament in 2009. This work will take place over 2008 and 2009 without the full closure of the course.

        Line of Credit—In November, we obtained a new $90 million secured revolving line of credit in a financing transaction led by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The financing will be used for working capital and development projects. Initial advances of approximately $17 million were used to repay the outstanding balance under our then existing $30 million line of credit, which was replaced by the new line of credit.

        Restaurant Lease—In December, we entered into a long term lease agreement with celebrity chef and restaurateur Peter Merriman to operate a new restaurant, Merriman's Kapalua, at the oceanfront site of our former Bay Club Restaurant. The Bay Club was closed in August 2004 and the new restaurant is expected to open in summer 2008.

        Sales of Non-Core Property—In 2007, we sold approximately 683 acres of Upcountry Maui land in five land sales transactions. These properties primarily consist of land that was deemed unsuitable for precision cultivation of pineapple and were also not suitable for creating new holistic development communities.

Description of Business

Agriculture

        Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd. is the operating subsidiary for our Agriculture segment. Our business is focused on growing, harvesting, packing and marketing fresh premium pineapple. We sell our fresh Maui Gold® pineapple directly to wholesalers and grocery stores in Hawaii and through a

2



consignment arrangement with Calavo Growers, Inc. to customers in the continental United States and Canada. We also sell our Maui Gold® pineapple as gift packs on our website and through certain retail outlets in Hawaii.

        The fresh fruit market is a year-round business, which requires consistency of supply. Over the past two years, we have made significant progress in changing our agronomic practices and planting schedules to produce a more consistent and predictable supply of fruit throughout the year. Planting and harvesting take place throughout the year. Our pineapple farms encompass approximately 4,200 acres on Maui. Two pineapple crops are normally harvested from each new planting. The first, or plant crop, is harvested approximately 18 to 23 months after planting; the second, or ratoon crop, is harvested 12 to 14 months later. A third crop, the second ratoon, may be harvested 9 to 14 months later depending on a number of conditions.

        The availability of water for irrigation is critical to the cultivation of pineapple. The Upcountry Maui area, in which we have historically grown pineapple, is susceptible to drought conditions, which can adversely affect pineapple operations by resulting in poor yields (tons per acre) and lower recoveries (the amount of pack-able and saleable product per ton of fruit harvested). A large portion of the fields in our Upcountry Maui plantation are equipped with drip irrigation systems. We are shifting more of our plantings to our West Maui agricultural lands, which we have farmed for many years. Our West Maui agricultural lands are less susceptible to drought conditions because water can be supplied by our own water system.

        Harvested pineapple is packed for fresh shipment at our packing facility located in Kahului. Our pineapple is shipped to our customers in Hawaii and to the consignee's locations in the continental United States by ocean or air freight.

        Throughout most of 2007, we owned and operated fully integrated facilities for the production of fresh and processed pineapple. Harvested fruit was directed to fresh or canning facilities based on market conditions and fruit size and quality. Over recent years, we decreased the tonnage of fruit going to the cannery, and commensurately reduced the number of markets for processed pineapple that we served. The metal containers used in canning pineapple were produced in a Company-owned plant at the cannery site. Our processed pineapple products were primarily sold as private label pineapple with 100% HAWAIIAN U.S.A. stamped on the can lid, primarily to large grocery chains and to the United States government. A substantial volume of our pineapple products was marketed through food brokers, which was administered through our sales office in California. We substantially ceased canning operations by the end of 2007, and now focus on the sale of fresh fruit and pineapple juice.

        Our fresh pineapple is sold in competition with both foreign and United States companies. Our principal competitors are Dole Food Company, Inc. and Del Monte Fresh Produce Company, each of which produces substantial quantities of fresh pineapple products, a significant portion of which is grown in Central America.

Resort

        Kapalua Land Company, Ltd. is the operating subsidiary that includes our Resort segment, which operates the Kapalua Resort, a master-planned, resort community on Maui's northwest coast. Our property on West Maui includes approximately 23,000 acres, most of which remain as conservation or open space.

3


        Presently, the Kapalua Resort includes 1,650 acres bordering the ocean with three white sand beaches and includes two championship golf courses (The Bay Course and The Plantation Course), The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel, eight residential subdivisions, a ten-court tennis facility, the first phase of commercial space in the central area of the Resort, several restaurants, and over 700 single-family residential lots, condominiums and homes. We operate Kapalua Resort's golf courses, a tennis facility, retail shops, a vacation rental program (The Kapalua Villas), and provide certain services to the Resort. We have approximately 235 units in our Kapalua Villas short-term rental program. We also manage The Kapalua Club, a membership program that provides certain benefits and privileges within the Kapalua Resort for its members. The Kapalua Golf Academy, located on 23 acres of land in the Central Resort area is a state-of-the-art teaching and practice facility that was developed in conjunction with PGA Touring Professional Hale Irwin. Prior to March 2007, the Resort included a third golf course, The Village Course, which was closed on February 28, 2007.

        In late December 2007, our new Kapalua Adventure Center opened and in January our Mountain Outpost began operations. The Adventure Center is located in the former Village Clubhouse and includes a retail area featuring outdoor clothing and gear, a café and is the check-in point for the Mountain Outpost, which is comprised of zip-lines stretching over scenic ravines in the West Maui Mountains, a ropes challenge course, a climbing wall and other adventures.

        In 2007, we continued working on several major new initiatives to improve and revitalize the Kapalua Resort. We undertook various programs and promotions to minimize the temporary impact of the construction and closures that were necessary to our improvement initiatives. However, as expected, our financial results were negatively affected by closure of the Village Course, the temporary closures of the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel and the Bay Course for most of the second half of the year, as well as significant construction taking place throughout the Resort.

        Our current Resort plans include additional amenities, renovation of certain facilities and a trail system that will run along the ocean, through the mountains and wind through the entire resort and other Company land holdings. The Resort segment has also been implementing the Kapalua Gold program to upgrade and standardize the privately-owned Kapalua Villas units in our rental program, as well as other initiatives to enhance and improve the Kapalua Resort.

        We utilize nationally televised professional golf tournaments as a major marketing tool for the Kapalua Resort. Since January 1999, Kapalua has hosted the Mercedes-Benz Championship, the season opening event for the PGA TOUR. We have agreements with Mercedes-Benz and the PGA TOUR to host and manage this event at the Kapalua Resort through January 2010.

        Other signature events at the Kapalua Resort include:

        The Kapalua Resort faces substantial competition from alternative visitor destinations and resort communities in Hawaii and throughout the world. The Kapalua Resort's primary resort competitors on Maui are located in Kaanapali, which is approximately five miles from Kapalua, and in Wailea on Maui's south coast.

Community Development

        The Community Development segment is responsible for all of our real estate entitlement, development, construction, sales and leasing activities. Our projects are focused primarily on the luxury real estate market in and surrounding Kapalua Resort and affordable and moderately priced residential and mixed use projects in West Maui and Upcountry Maui. This segment also includes the operations of Kapalua Realty Company, a general brokerage real estate company located within the Kapalua Resort; and our Public Utilities Commission regulated water and sewage transmission operations that service the Kapalua Resort and parts of West Maui.

        We are the lessor of certain commercial and residential properties primarily at Kapalua Resort. We were the ground lessor under a long-term lease with the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel, until March 2007 when we sold the land to the lessee and acquired a partial interest in the joint venture that is now the owner of the hotel and fee interest (Note 4 to consolidated financial statements). In August 2004, we contributed the fee interests in the land underlying the Kapalua Bay Hotel and our interests in The Kapalua Shops to Kapalua Bay LLC, ("Kapalua Bay") a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC ("Bay Holdings") a limited liability company formed as a joint venture between the Company, Marriott International Inc. and Exclusive Resorts LLC. We have a 51% interest in and are the managing member of Bay Holdings. Bay Holdings is constructing The Residences at Kapalua Bay, consisting of approximately 146 units that will be sold as whole ownership and fractional ownership residences, a clubhouse, pool, spa and other amenities. The percentage of completion of the six residential buildings in the project ranged from approximately 15% to 60% as of the end of 2007, and we expect the project to be completed by the second quarter of 2009 or earlier depending on construction progress. See Note 4 to consolidated financial statements.

        Appropriate entitlements must be obtained for land that is intended for development. Securing proper land entitlement is a process that requires obtaining county, state and federal approvals, which can take many years to complete and entails a variety of risks. The entitlement process requires that we satisfy all conditions and restrictions imposed in connection with such governmental approvals including, among other things, construction of infrastructure improvements, payment of impact fees (for things such as parks and traffic mitigation), restrictions on permitted uses of the land, and provision of affordable housing. We actively work with the community, regulatory agencies, and legislative bodies at all levels of government in an effort to obtain necessary entitlements consistent with the needs of the community.

        We have approximately 1,800 acres of land in Maui that are at various stages in the land entitlement process as follows:

Location

  Number of Acres
  Zoned for Planned Use
Kapalua Resort   975   Yes
Other Kapalua Resort and West Maui   528   No
Upcountry   305   No

        Since 2004, we have identified over 3,700 acres of non-core Upcountry Maui land and have sold to date approximately 3,400 acres with total sales proceeds of approximately $77 million.

5


        Honolua Ridge Phase I and II are comprised of a total 50 agricultural lots ranging from three to 30 acres, with original list sales prices ranging from $895,000 to $7.3 million. We began selling Phase I in 2004 and Phase II in 2005. As of December 31, 2007, we have one unsold Phase II lot in inventory.

        Some of the other projects that the Community Development segment has in the planning stages include:

        The price and market for luxury real estate on Maui has in the past been highly cyclical based upon interest rates, the general real estate markets on the mainland United States specifically the West Coast, the popularity of Hawaii as a vacation destination, the general condition of the economy in the United States and Asia, and the relationship of the dollar to foreign currencies. The Community Development segment faces substantial competition from other land developers on the island of Maui as well as in other parts of Hawaii and the mainland United States.

Employees

        In 2007, we employed approximately 1,000 people. Agricultural operations employed approximately 440 employees of which approximately half were seasonal or intermittent employees and approximately 58% were covered by collective bargaining agreements. Resort operations employed approximately 420 employees, of which approximately 11% were part-time employees and approximately 22% were covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Community Development segment employed approximately 30 employees, and corporate services and other operations employed approximately 110 employees in 2007.

Other Information

        Our Agriculture segment engages in continuous research to develop techniques to reduce costs through crop production and processing innovations and to develop and perfect new products. Research and development expenses approximated $1,155,000 in 2007, $1,078,000 in 2006, and $530,000 in 2005.

6


        We have reviewed our compliance with federal, state and local provisions that regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or are otherwise related to the protection of the environment. We do not expect any material future financial impact as a result of compliance with these laws.

        Pursuant to a settlement agreement with the County of Maui in 1999, we have a commitment until December 1, 2039 to share with several chemical manufacturers in the capital costs to install filtration systems in any future water wells if the presence of a nematocide, commonly known as DBCP, exceeds specified levels, and for the ongoing maintenance and operating costs for filtrations systems on existing and future wells. We are not presently aware of any plans by the County of Maui to install other filtration systems or to drill any water wells in areas affected by agricultural chemicals. For additional information, see Note 18 to consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A.    RISK FACTORS

        The following is a summary of certain risks we face in our business. They are not the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. In assessing these risks, investors should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our success depends in large part upon the continued services of a number of significant employees, the loss of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

        We are currently dependent upon the ability and experience of certain key management employees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain their services. The loss of one or more could have a material adverse effect on financial results.

Real estate investments are subject to numerous risks.

        We are subject to the risks that generally relate to investments in real property because we develop and sell real property, primarily for residential use. Also, we have a 51% ownership interest in Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC, the owner and developer of The Residences at Kapalua Bay. When interest rates increase, the cost of acquiring, developing, expanding or renovating real property increases and real property values may decrease as the number of potential buyers decrease. Similarly, as financing becomes less available, it becomes more difficult both to acquire and to sell real property. Under eminent domain laws, governments can take real property. Sometimes this taking is for less compensation than the owner believes the property is worth. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. In addition, equity real estate investments may be difficult to sell quickly and we may not be able to adjust our portfolio of properties quickly in response to economic or other conditions.

9


If we are unable to complete land development projects within forecasted timing and budgeting, or at all, financial results may be negatively affected.

        We intend to develop resort and other properties as suitable opportunities arise, taking into consideration the general economic climate. New project developments have a number of risks, including risks associated with:

        If any development project is not completed on time or within budget, this could have a material adverse affect on our financial results.

If we are unable to obtain required land use entitlements at reasonable costs, or at all, our operating results would be adversely affected.

        Our financial results are highly dependent on our Community Development operating segment. The financial performance of our Community Development segment is closely related to our success in obtaining land use entitlements for proposed development projects. Obtaining all of the necessary entitlements to develop a parcel of land is often difficult, costly and may take several years, or more, to complete. In some situations, we may be unable to obtain the necessary entitlements to proceed with a real estate development or may be required to alter our plans for the development. Delays or failures to obtain these entitlements may have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Legislation adopted by the County of Maui may increase land use entitlement costs, negatively impact land values, defer planned development projects, and materially impact operating results.

        On November 3, 2006, the Maui County Council voted unanimously to adopt a Residential Workforce Housing Policy (the "Policy"). This measure requires developers to sell or rent 40% to 50% of the total number of units in developments of five or more units at below market rates, or pay significant fees or contribute property with equivalent value to Maui County for low income housing. Prior to the adoption of the Policy, the affordable housing component of a development typically represented 15% to 25% of total units. We believe that the new Policy could significantly impact our cost of obtaining entitlements, increase our financing costs, potentially reduce the value of our land, and delay the development of units across all market segments.

The historical price and market for luxury real estate on Maui has been highly cyclical and if the market demand for luxury real estate were to decrease, our operating results could be adversely affected.

        The highs and lows in the real estate market cycle can prevail for multiple years at a time. During low periods of demand, real estate product may remain in inventory for much longer than expected or

10



be sold at lower than expected returns, or even at a loss, which could impair our liquidity and ability to proceed with additional land development projects and negatively affect our operating results.

If we are unable to successfully compete with other developers of luxury real estate on Maui, our financial results could be materially affected.

        Our real estate product faces competition from other luxury resort real estate properties on Maui, and from other luxury resort residential property in Hawaii and the mainland United States. In many cases, our competitors are larger than us and have greater access to capital. If we are unable to compete with these larger competitors, our financial results could be materially adversely affected.

We have entered into limited guarantees under which we may be required to guarantee completion of the Kapalua Bay project or certain limited recourse obligations of Kapalua Bay.

        Kapalua Bay, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bay Holdings in which we own a 51% ownership interest, entered into a construction loan agreement with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman") on July 14, 2006, pursuant to which Lehman may loan Kapalua Bay up to $370 million. Kapalua Bay is constructing a new project consisting of residential development on land that it owns at the site of the former Kapalua Bay Hotel, and a spa on an adjacent parcel of land that is owned by us and leased to Kapalua Bay. In connection with entering into the construction loan agreement by Kapalua Bay, we, and other members of Bay Holdings, entered into a completion guaranty and a recourse guaranty. Under the completion guaranty, members of Bay Holdings agreed to guarantee substantial completion of the project and to reimburse Lehman for expenses incurred by Lehman toward completion of the project. Under the recourse guaranty, members of Bay Holdings agreed to reimburse Lehman for losses incurred by Lehman due to specified actions of Bay Holdings, including, without limitation, fraud or intentional misrepresentation, gross negligence, physical waste of project assets, and breach of certain environmental provisions of the construction loan agreement. Our guarantees do not include payment in full of the loan. If Kapalua Bay fails to complete the project or takes any of the specified actions that result in expenses to Lehman and which are covered by the guarantees that we entered into, we could incur unanticipated expenses that could have a material adverse effect our results of operations and financial condition.

If we cannot attract and retain skilled workers for our resort operations, and Community Development teams, our financial results could be negatively impacted. There is a potential lack of adequate skilled workers on Maui for larger development projects.

        Our golf courses require a large number of course and facility maintenance and operations workers and the hotel and villas require housekeepers, food and beverage servers, front desk, and other operational and hospitality workers. Overall, our resort operations require a large number of workers to maintain the quality and level of service that we strive to provide to our guests. Our plans for development projects require that there be adequate labor in all of the construction trades. The labor market on Maui is very competitive, with the labor premium in West Maui being even greater than elsewhere on Maui. The cost and insufficient supply of housing and the absence of adequate public services, such as schools, continue to be an impediment to attracting and retaining labor. If we and other Maui businesses are unable to gain approvals from the government to allow for the expansion of affordable housing and to implement plans to provide a higher level of public services, including schools, further development in West Maui could be severely restricted, which in turn could have a materially adverse effect on our operations. While we support the development of affordable housing for our employees and public servants, and the construction of infrastructure, there are political factions in the County government who do not want any further development.

11


We may be subject to certain environmental regulations under which we may have additional liability and experience additional costs for land development.

        Various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations regulate our properties and could make us liable for the costs of removing or cleaning up hazardous or toxic substances on, under, or in property we currently own or operate or that we previously owned or operated. These laws could impose liability without regard to whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to properly clean up such substances when present, could jeopardize our ability to develop, use, sell or rent the real property or to borrow using the real property as collateral. If we arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic wastes, we could be liable for the costs of removing or cleaning up wastes at the disposal or treatment facility, even if we never owned or operated that facility. Certain laws, ordinances and regulations, particularly those governing the management or preservation of wetlands, coastal zones and threatened or endangered species, could limit our ability to develop, use, sell or rent its real property.

Our agriculture operations face significant competition from companies with greater financial resources and from foreign competition with lower cost structures.

        We sell our pineapple products in competition with both foreign and United States companies. Our principal competitors are Dole Food Company, Inc. and Del Monte Fresh Produce Company, each of which produces substantial quantities of pineapple products, a significant portion of which is produced in Central America. Producers of pineapple in foreign countries have substantially lower land, water, labor, and regulatory costs than we do.

Changes in weather conditions or natural disasters can have an adverse impact on crop production and materially affect our results of operations.

        Changes in weather conditions and natural disasters, such as earthquakes, droughts, extreme cold or pestilence, may affect the planting, growing and delivery of crops, reduce sales stock, interrupt distribution, and have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our competitors may be affected differently by such weather conditions and natural disasters depending on the location of their supplies or operations.

If we are unable to successfully compete with other producers of fresh pineapple products, our financial results could be materially affected.

        The fresh pineapple products markets are highly competitive. A decline in the price of pineapple or increases in the price of fuel or packaging materials could adversely affect operating results. Agricultural chemicals used in the past have resulted in contingent liabilities that could result in future claims against us, which could affect our ability to compete with other producers.

We are highly dependent on the success of our consignment arrangement to sell our fresh pineapple.

        In November 2007, we entered into an exclusive consignment and marketing agreement with a third party to sell our Maui Gold® pineapple in North America. We anticipate that a significant portion of our fresh pineapple will be sold through this arrangement. Failure for any reason of the consignee to fulfill its obligations under the applicable arrangement with us could result in disruptions to our supply of Maui Gold® pineapple in North America, and therefore could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. We cannot provide assurance that a new arrangement would be available on similar terms as the existing consignment and marketing arrangement, if at all.

12


If we are unable to find a title sponsor for the LPGA golf tournament that we are contractually obligated to sponsor in October 2008, we may have to bear the full cost of producing the tournament.

        We have an agreement with the LPGA to sponsor an annual 72-hole stroke play golf tournament for five years beginning in October 2008, and we are currently seeking a company or companies that would be suitable as a title sponsor for this event. The cost of such a tournament including the production and the purse is significant and if we bear the full cost of producing the tournament, our results of operations could be negatively affected.

Our ability to competitively serve our customers depends on the availability of reliable and low-cost transportation, and any increases in transportation-related costs could have material adverse impact on our results of operations.

        We use multiple forms of transportation to bring our products to market, including by airplanes, ships, railcars and trucks. Disruption to the timely supply of these services or increases in the cost of these services for any reason, including availability or cost of fuel, regulations affecting the industry, or labor shortages in the transportation industry, could have an adverse effect on our ability to serve our customers, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

Because we are located in Hawaii and therefore apart from the mainland United States, we are more sensitive to certain economic factors, which may adversely affect operating results.

        Our Community Development segment and the Resort segment are dependent on attracting visitors to Kapalua, to Maui, and the state of Hawaii as a whole. Economic factors that affect the number of visitors, their length of stay or expenditure levels will affect our financial performance. Factors such as the cost of energy, events in the airline industry that affect passenger capacity or traveling cost, and the threat, or perceived threat, of heightened terrorist activity in the United States, could affect a potential visitor's choice of vacation destination or second home location.

Item 1B.    UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

        Not applicable.

Item 2.    PROPERTIES

        We own approximately 24,600 acres of land on Maui. Approximately 21% of the acreage is used directly or indirectly in our operations and the remaining land is primarily in pasture or forest reserve. This land, most of which was acquired from 1911 to 1932, is carried on our balance sheet at cost. We believe we have clear and unencumbered marketable title to all such property, except for the following:

13


        Approximately 22,100 acres of our land are located in West Maui, approximately 2,500 acres are located in Upcountry Maui and approximately 28 acres are located in Kahului, Maui.

        The 22,100 acres in West Maui comprise a largely contiguous parcel that extends from the sea to an elevation of approximately 5,700 feet and includes 10.6 miles of ocean frontage with approximately 3,300 lineal feet along sandy beaches, as well as agricultural and grazing lands, gulches and heavily forested areas. The West Maui acreage includes approximately 2,800 acres comprising our West Maui pineapple plantation and approximately 1,800 acres designated for the Kapalua Resort.

        The Upcountry Maui property is situated at elevations between 1,000 and 3,000 feet above sea level on the slopes of Haleakala, a volcanic-formed mountain on the island that rises above 10,000 feet in elevation. Approximately 530 acres are used for the Company's Agriculture operations in our Upcountry pineapple plantation.

        The Kahului acreage includes our administrative offices, a fresh fruit packing facility and a former pineapple cannery site.

        Approximately 2,600 acres of leased land are used in our Agriculture operations under ten leases expiring at various dates through 2018. We paid $578,000 in 2007 for the aggregate land rental for all leased land in agricultural production. We believe our facilities are suitable and adequate for our business and have sufficient capacity for the purposes for which they are currently being used or intended to be used.

Item 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        We are a party to various claims, complaints and other legal actions that have arisen in the normal course of business from time to time. We believe the outcome of these pending legal proceedings, in the aggregate, is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 4.    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

        No matters were submitted to a vote of our stockholders during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007.

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements contained elsewhere in this annual report.

Overview of the Company

        The Company operates as a landholding and operating parent company for its principal subsidiaries, including Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd. and Kapalua Land Company, Ltd. Our reportable segments are Agriculture, Resort and Community Development.

        The Agriculture segment primarily includes growing, packing, and marketing of fresh premium pineapple. Our fresh pineapple is sold under the brand names Maui Gold® and Hawaiian GoldTM. We also grow and market fresh organic pineapple. Through most of 2007, we also processed (canned) our pineapple, which we sold under buyers' private labels and to the United States government (Note 6 to consolidated financial statements).

        The Resort segment includes our ongoing operations at the Kapalua Resort. These operations include two championship golf courses, a tennis facility, a vacation rental program, and several retail outlets. In late December 2007, our new Kapalua Adventure Center opened and in January 2008 our Mountain Outpost began operations.

        The Community Development segment includes our real estate entitlement, development, construction, sales and leasing activities. This segment also includes the operations of Kapalua Realty Company, a general brokerage real estate company, and Public Utilities Commission regulated water and sewage transmission operations located within Kapalua Resort. Beginning August 31, 2004, the Community Development segment includes our investment in Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC (Note 4 to consolidated financial statements).

Current Developments

Private Placement of Common Stock—In March, we raised approximately $14,900,000 in gross proceeds through a private placement of 517,242 shares of common stock. The funds were initially used to pay down our revolving credit facility.

Ritz-Carlton Land Sale—In March, we sold the land underlying the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel and obtained an interest in a joint venture for the ownership of the hotel and surrounding property (Note 4 to consolidated financial statements).

Kapalua Bay Holdings Revenue Recognition—In March, construction of the condominiums by Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC had progressed to the point at which the joint venture began to recognize revenues and profit from sales of whole and fractional units on the percentage-of-completion method (Note 4 to consolidated financial statements).

Pineapple Operations—In April, we concluded that as of June 30, 2007 we would cease the processing of substantially all solid-pack canned pineapple and focus primarily on premium fresh pineapple sales. Job fairs and re-employment transition activities were held throughout the remainder of the second quarter for the affected employees. In October and November most of our can-making and pineapple

19


processing equipment was auctioned. In November, we concluded a consignment agreement with Calavo Growers, Inc. to sell, market and distribute Maui Gold® pineapple in the continental United States and Canada. The consignment arrangement began in December and most of our California sales office staff were laid off as of December 31 (Note 6 to consolidated financial statements).

Board Appointment and Annual Meeting of Shareholders—In May, our shareholders (i) elected Miles R. Gilburne, and re-elected David A. Heenan and Kent T. Lucien as Class Two Directors; and (ii) approved an amendment to the Articles of Association to authorize an additional 14,000,000 shares of common stock.

LPGA—In July, we entered into a five-year agreement with the Ladies Professional Golf Association, or LPGA, to annually host an official 72-hole stroke play tournament on the Bay Course beginning in October 2008, and we announced that LPGA player Morgan Pressel will be Kapalua Resort's official touring professional representing Kapalua Resort at LPGA tournaments.

Ritz-Carlton Closure—In July, the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel closed for an extensive renovation and rooms conversion project and re-opened on December 28, 2007. The converted condominiums are expected to be available for sale starting March 15, 2008.

Mountain Adventure Center—In August, we began design and construction of our mountain adventure center, which replaced the former Village Course clubhouse, and also began construction of zip-lines and various other mountain activities at a new mountain outpost location. The Adventure Center opened in December 2007 and the Mountain Outpost began operating in January 2008.

Bay Golf Course Closure—In August, we closed the back-nine holes of the Bay Course to renovate and re-seed the greens. We reopened the course in December. Several greens and tees still need to be renovated so that the entire course will be completed in time for the second annual Kapalua LPGA tournament in 2009. This work will take place over 2008 and 2009 without the full closure of the course.

Line of Credit—In November, we obtained a new $90 million secured revolving line of credit in a financing transaction led by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The financing will be used for working capital and development projects. Initial advances of approximately $17 million were used to repay the outstanding balance under our then existing $30 million line of credit, which was replaced by the new line of credit.

Restaurant Lease—In December, we entered into a long term lease agreement with celebrity chef and restaurateur Peter Merriman to operate a new restaurant, Merriman's Kapalua, at the oceanfront site of our former Bay Club Restaurant. The Bay Club was closed in August 2004 and the new restaurant is expected to open in summer 2008.

Sales of Non-Core Property—In 2007, we sold approximately 683 acres of Upcountry Maui land in five land sales transactions. These properties primarily consist of land that was deemed unsuitable for precision cultivation of pineapple and were also not suitable for creating new holistic development communities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

CONSOLIDATED

 
  Years Ended December 31,
 
 
  2007
  2006
  change
 
 
  (in millions, except share amounts)

 
Consolidated Revenues   $ 154.1   $ 178.9   $ (24.8 )
Net Income   $ 8.0   $ 7.2   $ 0.8  
Basic Earnings Per Common Share   $ 1.03   $ 1.00   $ 0.03  

        We reported net income of $8.0 million for 2007 compared to $7.2 million for 2006. For 2007, basic earnings per common share were $1.03 compared to $1.00 for 2006. Consolidated revenues of $154.1 million were 14% or $24.8 million lower in 2007 compared to 2006. The reduction in 2007 revenues was primarily due to a $17.7 million decrease in Agriculture segment revenues as a result of the restructuring that began in the second quarter of 2007 and to a $10.3 million decrease in the Resort segment revenues, largely because of the closure of the Village Course in February 2007, and the temporary closure of other facilities during 2007.

        In 2007, we recognized over $44 million in pre-tax profit from the sale of non-core land parcels and the land underlying the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel. We also recognized over $16 million of income from our investment in Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC. Losses from the Agriculture and Resort segments largely offset much of these gains.

        In 2007, general and administrative expenses decreased by 9% to $38.0 million compared to $41.9 million for 2006.

        The major components of the difference in general and administrative expenses were as follows:

 
  Years Ended December 31,
 
 
  2007
  2006
  change
 
 
  (in millions)

 
Salaries and wages   $ 10.0   $ 12.0   $ (2.0 )
Employee incentives and stock compensation     6.6     2.8     3.8  
Professional and other outside services     7.7     6.8     0.9  
Depreciation and asset write offs     1.8     6.4     (4.6 )
Employee severance expense     0.3     2.7     (2.4 )
Other (net)     11.6     11.2     0.4  
   
 
 
 
Total   $ 38.0   $ 41.9   $ (3.9 )

        The reduction in salaries and wages in 2007 compared to 2006 is due primarily to Agriculture re-training charges that are included in 2006. At the end of June 2006, we began to operate our new fresh fruit packing facility, which is less labor intensive. In 2006, some of the Agriculture segment employees were taken out of operations and retrained for other work as the operations moved toward a less labor-intensive process and, in 2006, we incurred employee severance charges of $1.8 million as a result of the reduction in the Agriculture segment work force.

        The increase in professional services in 2007 primarily reflects increases in actuarial services, largely because of the restructuring of the Agriculture business in 2007. In 2007, we also incurred outside consultant costs to evaluate and manage construction issues on our Kahului properties.

21


        The increase in employee incentives and stock compensation was primarily due to restricted stock vesting in 2007 for certain officers and a payment of $1.1 million to David C. Cole, our Chairman, President & CEO because of an amendment to Mr. Cole's stock option agreement with the Company that reduced the value of the stock options. The stock option agreement was amended to eliminate adverse tax consequences to our Chairman imposed by section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

        The reduction in depreciation expense charged to general and administrative expense is primarily due to acceleration of depreciation charges in 2006 for some of our Agriculture segment assets because of changes in our business and acceleration of depreciation charges for our accounting systems that were replaced in 2006.

        General and administrative expenses are incurred at the corporate level and at the operating segment level. All general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level are allocated to our operating segments. Such allocations are made on the basis of our management's evaluation of services provided to the operating segments.

        Interest expense was $2,647,000 for 2007 compared to $775,000 for 2006. Interest incurred in 2007 was $3,812,000, of which $1,165,000 was capitalized to construction projects. Capital projects in 2007 included the Honolua Store renovation, the Kapalua Mountain Activity Center, and planning, design and entitlement work for various capital projects at Kapalua Resort. In 2006, interest incurred was $2,473,000, of which $1,698,000 was capitalized to construction projects. Capital projects under construction in 2006 included Honolua Ridge Phase II, Honolua Village at Kapalua Resort, the fresh fruit packing facility and offices, and replacement of our accounting systems. Our effective interest rate on borrowings was 7.5% in 2007 compared to 7.4% in 2006.

        The Agriculture segment produced an operating loss of $26.6 million for 2007 compared to an operating loss of $18.6 million for 2006. Revenues for 2007 were $47.5 million or 27% lower than 2006, primarily due to a reduction in sales of processed products. The principal reason for the increased operating loss is due to net charges totaling approximately $8.5 million that were recorded in 2007 related to the restructuring of our pineapple operations. In addition, the operating losses in 2007 reflect the time-related constraints to restructuring our pineapple operations, such as the growing period of our pineapple crop.

        Effective as of June 30, 2007, we ceased the production of substantially all solid-packed pineapple products (Note 6 to consolidated financial statements). With the cessation of solid-pack canned products, we began to focus our business on the sale of fresh premium pineapple.

        Results for 2006 included $4.0 million of accelerated depreciation charges related to assets where the estimated useful lives were reduced because of changes in our pineapple operations; $1.8 million of employee severance cost; $1.8 million of charges related to re-training employees; and $944,000 of material and supply write-offs. These Agriculture segment charges in 2006 were related to the move to the new fresh processing facility that went into operation in July 2006.

22


        The case volume of fresh pineapple sales was lower by 10% for 2007 and revenue per case sold was higher by 12% in 2007 compared to 2006 reflecting higher per unit sales revenues. Improved pricing was due to improved fruit quality in 2007. The lower case sales volume in 2007 reflects premature ripening of fruit in 2006, which also produces lower quality fruit. Revenues from fresh pineapple sales represented approximately 59% of the Agriculture segment net sales for 2007, compared to approximately 44% for 2006, reflecting the refocusing of our business on the fresh fruit market.

        The case volume of processed pineapple sales was 43% lower for 2007 as compared to 2006 primarily reflecting our plans to cease substantially all solid-pack production after June 30, 2007. The average sales prices for our processed pineapple products decreased by approximately 10% for 2007 compared to 2006, primarily because we sold relatively more juice in 2007, which has a lower sales value than canned fruit.

        The Agriculture segment cost of sales was lower by approximately 12% in 2007 compared to 2006 as a result of lower sales volume of processed product. Per unit cost of sales was higher as a result of significantly lower canned product production due to the discontinuation of processing and selling solid-pack pineapple.

        Shipping and marketing cost was approximately the same in 2007 as compared to 2006 as a result of higher per unit shipping costs being more than offset by lower sales volume. Per unit shipping costs were higher because of higher warehousing costs and higher ocean and surface transportation costs primarily reflecting higher fuel costs.

        The Resort segment reported an operating loss of $11.7 million for 2007 compared to an operating loss of $6.4 million for 2006. Resort segment revenues were $35.8 million or 22% lower for 2007 compared to 2006.

        Hotel and condominium room occupancies at the Kapalua Resort and, to a somewhat lesser extent for Maui in general, largely drive resort activity as reflected by increased golf play and merchandise sales. In early April 2006, the Kapalua Bay Hotel held its final guest night and the hotel was permanently closed, resulting in approximately 20% fewer rooms available at the Kapalua Resort. In addition, the 548-room Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel closed in July 2007 for extensive renovations. The hotel partially re-opened in December 2007. As expected, the reduction in available rooms has negatively affected the number of paid rounds of golf and retail sales.

        The closure of the Village Course at the end of February 2007 and closure of the back-nine of the Bay Course for a comprehensive re-seeding of the greens in August 2007 also had a negative impact on Resort operating results. The Bay Course re-opened in December 2007, but the renovation will continue in 2008 and 2009 on the final greens without a course closure.

23


        Revenues from golf operations and paid rounds of golf both decreased by approximately 28% for 2007 compared to 2006. Average green and cart fees increased by approximately 1% in 2007 compared to 2006. Resort retail sales for 2007 were approximately 22% lower than 2006. In addition to the closure of facilities at Kapalua Resort as mentioned above, retail sales were negatively affected by lower average square footage of retail space in 2007 reflecting the closure in May 2006 of our Logo Shop, Kids Shop and Home Store comprising approximately 5,800 square feet in the Kapalua Shops following the closure of the adjacent Kapalua Bay Hotel for the development of The Residences at Kapalua Bay; and the closure of our 1,900 square foot Kapalua Collections in our Honolua Village Center in July 2007 to make room for a Resort-wide welcoming, information and real estate sales center.

        Revenues from the Kapalua Villas were approximately 13% lower in 2007 compared to 2006, reflecting a 20% decrease in occupied rooms partially offset by a 10% higher average room rate. The lower occupancy rate appears to be a trend throughout the Maui travel markets and was exacerbated by the closure of the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel, which is used as an amenity by our Kapalua Villas guests. There were approximately 7% fewer rooms available in 2007 partially reflecting units under renovation under our Kapalua Gold program to upgrade and standardize the units in our rental program.

        The Community Development segment reported an operating profit of $53.1 million for 2007 compared to $36.2 million for 2006. Revenues from this operating segment of $68.1 million in 2007 were $800,000 higher than 2006. Revenues and operating profit for 2007 include our sale of the land underlying the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel in March 2007, which resulted in revenues and operating profit of approximately $25 million (see Note 4 to consolidated financial statements).

        Our equity in the income of Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC was $16.8 million in 2007 compared to a loss of $5.3 million in 2006. In 2007, the joint venture began to recognize revenues and profits on the percentage-of-completion method from the whole and fractional residential condominiums. The percentage-of-completion of the six residential buildings in this project ranged from 15% to 60% as of the end of 2007. In connection with profit recognition under the percentage-of-completion method, we began to recognize a proportionate amount of the unrealized appreciation of the fair value of the land and other non-monetary contributions and other deferred costs related to the joint venture. See Note 4 to consolidated financial statements.

        Our Honolua Ridge Phase II subdivision consists of 25 agricultural-zoned lots, which began selling in August 2005. Through the end of 2007, 24 lot sales have closed escrow, eight of which closed in 2007. Revenues of $14.7 million were recognized in 2007 compared to revenues of $26.2 million from this project in 2006. In 2006, we were accounting for revenues and profit from Honolua Ridge Phase II on the percentage-of-completion method and the project was substantially complete as of December 31, 2006.

24


        In 2007, we sold approximately 683 acres of Upcountry Maui property in five land sales transactions and recognized revenues of $19.9 million and a pre-tax gain of approximately $19.5 million from these land sales. In 2006, we recognized revenues of $33.5 million and a pre-tax gain of $31.6 million from the sale of approximately 2,200 acres of Upcountry Maui Land. The land sold in 2007 and 2006 had previously been earmarked as "non-core" to our strategic plans.

        Real estate development and sales are cyclical and depend on a number of factors. Results for one period are therefore not necessarily indicative of future performance trends for this segment.

        We reported net income of $7.2 million ($1.00 per share) for 2006 compared to net income of $14.6 million ($2.02 per share) for 2005. Consolidated revenues were $178.9 million for 2006, a decrease of 4% from $186.7 million for 2005. The reduction in revenues in 2006 was due to a $9.3 million decrease from the Agriculture segment, $3.8 million from the Community Development segment, partially offset by a $5.3 million increase from the Resort segment.

        In 2006 and 2005, we sold approximately 2,200 and 640 acres, respectively, of land and other real estate in Upcountry Maui and recognized profit of $31.6 million and $26.9 million (pre-tax), respectively. Income for 2006 and 2005 also includes approximately $8.8 million and $7.4 million (pre-tax), respectively, of asset write offs, accelerated depreciation, severance and other charges related to restructuring our operations and processes. Results for 2006 also include our equity in the losses of Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC of $5.3 million, which primarily represents sales and marketing costs.

        In 2006, general and administrative expenses increased by 9.1% to $41.9 million compared to $38.4 million for 2005.

        The major components of the difference in general and administrative expenses were as follows:

        Approximately $0.5 million of the increase in salaries and wages in 2006 was due to salaries and wages for our Agriculture segment personnel who were taken out of operations to be trained for other work. These employees were removed from the pineapple operations in connection with the transition to a less labor-intensive operation that is more focused on fresh fruit. The remaining increase in salaries and wages were the result of increases in personnel and wage adjustments. The increase in employee severance cost reflects the reduction in the Agriculture segment work force in September and October of 2006, severance accruals for the planned closure of the Village Course that occurred on February 28, 2007 and management changes in 2006.

        The decrease in professional and other outside services primarily reflects costs incurred in 2005 to maintain and adjust the accounting system that was being used by our Agriculture segment. A decision was made in the fourth quarter of 2005 to replace accounting information technology systems and standardize our primary accounting systems and processes used by all of our businesses. In addition, the decrease in professional and other outside services costs in 2006 is due to higher costs incurred in 2005 to prepare us for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

        In 2005, after planning the construction of a fresh fruit packing facility adjacent to our Kahului cannery, we changed the estimated useful life of the affected assets and began the acceleration of depreciation of those assets. Plans regarding the construction of a new cannery and can plant were revised in January 2006, and accordingly, we prospectively revised depreciation charges on the cannery and plant. In 2005, we began the execution of our plans to replace all of our accounting systems and we began the acceleration of depreciation for those assets. These accounting system assets were fully depreciated in the first half of 2006, as the new accounting system was placed in service as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2006. In 2006 and 2005, we recorded charges of $2.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for the write-off of inventory, machinery, equipment, and deferred costs primarily because of changes in our businesses.

        The reduction in medical insurance premium expense in 2006 primarily reflects the reduction in the Agriculture segment work force.

        General and administrative expenses are incurred at the corporate level and at the operating segment level. All general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level are allocated to the operating segments. Such allocations are consistent with our management's evaluation of the services provided to the operating segments.

        Interest expense was $775,000 for 2006 compared to $521,000 for 2005. Interest incurred in 2006 was $2,473,000, of which $1,698,000 was capitalized to construction projects. Our major capital projects under construction in 2006 included Honolua Ridge Phase II, Honolua Village at Kapalua Resort, the fresh fruit packing facility and offices, and replacement of our accounting systems. In 2005, interest incurred was $1,263,000 of which $742,000 was capitalized. Our effective interest rate on borrowings was 7.4% in 2006 compared to 6.7% in 2005.

        The Agriculture segment reported an operating loss of $18.6 million for 2006 compared to an operating loss of $11.4 million for 2005. Revenues for 2006 were $65.2 million or 13% lower than 2005 primarily due to lower case volume of processed pineapple sales that was only partially offset by higher case volume of fresh pineapple sales.

        Operating losses reported by the Agriculture segment for 2006 and 2005 include $4.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, for asset write offs and accelerated depreciation charges related to assets where the estimated useful lives were reduced because of changes in our pineapple operations. The Agriculture segment also recorded $1.8 million for employee severance cost in 2006 primarily as a result of production efficiencies gained by the operation of the new fresh fruit packing plant and charges of $944,000 related to materials and supplies inventories that were considered obsolete with the change to the new packing facility that went into operation at the end of June 2006. In addition, the Agriculture segment recorded $1.8 million of charges related to re-training employees in 2006 compared to $1.1 million of re-training charges in 2005.

        The case volume of fresh pineapple sales increased by 17% and the average revenue per case of fresh pineapple sold increased by less than 1% in 2006 compared to 2005. Revenues from fresh pineapple sales were approximately 45% of the Agriculture segment Product Revenues for 2006, compared to approximately 34% for 2005.

        The case volume of processed pineapple sales decreased by 29% in 2006 as compared to 2005 primarily reflecting our strategy to reduce supply to selected retail market segments.

        The Agriculture segment cost of sales was lower by 4% in 2006 compared to 2005, primarily reflecting the reduced sales volume of processed pineapple partially offset by the increased sales volume of fresh pineapple. The average per unit cost of sales for processed pineapple was higher in 2006 compared to 2005 because of the reduced tonnage of fruit being processed, while the average per unit cost of sales for fresh pineapple was lower primarily reflecting efficiencies that the operation is beginning to realize with the operation of the new fresh packing facility. In 2006 and 2005, there were partial liquidations of LIFO (last-in, first-out) inventories for our processed pineapple products, resulting in lower costs from prior years being charged to cost of sales. Based on current costs, the operating loss for the Agriculture segment for 2006 and 2005 would have increased by approximately $2.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

        Agriculture segment shipping and marketing costs decreased by about 1% in 2006 compared to 2005, principally reflecting a lower volume of processed pineapple, partially offset by higher average cost for shipping and higher volume of fresh fruit shipments. The average shipping and selling cost for our fresh pineapple was lower in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily because in 2006 we shipped approximately 84% of our fresh product to the mainland United States by ocean transportation (as compared to air freight, which is more costly) compared to 75% in 2005. Changes in our cultivation practices, harvesting methods, and post-harvest handling have extended the shelf life of fresh fruit products enabling us to increase our reliance on surface transport to reach North American markets.

        The Resort segment reported an operating loss of $6.4 million for 2006 compared to $5.8 million for 2005. Resort segment revenues were $46.1 million for 2006 compared to $40.8 million for 2005, an increase of 13%, as a result of higher revenues from the Kapalua Villas and from our golf operations primarily due to rate increases. The operating loss for 2006 includes $946,000 of employee severance expense, primarily reflecting the planned February 28, 2007 closure of the Village Course and management changes. The operating loss for 2006 also includes higher expenses in particular for advertising and promotions, utilities and allowance for doubtful accounts.

        The Plantation Course was closed from April through July of 2005 for renovation of the greens and bunkers. The closure of that golf course for four months in 2005 negatively impacted the operating results from Resort operations in 2005 compared to 2006.

        Hotel and condominium room occupancies at the Kapalua Resort and, to a somewhat lesser extent, for Maui in general, largely drive resort activity as reflected by increased golf play and merchandise sales. In early April 2006, the Kapalua Bay Hotel held its final guest night and the hotel was permanently closed. This closure resulted in approximately 20% fewer available rooms at Kapalua Resort and as expected, negatively affected the number of paid rounds of golf and retail sales in 2006.

        Revenues from golf operations increased by 8% for 2006 compared to 2005. Overall, paid rounds of golf decreased by 6%, and average green and cart fees increased by 19% in 2006 compared to 2005.

        Resort retail sales for 2006 were about 5% lower than sales in 2005. Lower retail sales reflect the closure of the Kapalua Bay Hotel and the closure of our Logo Shop, Kids Shop and Home Store in May 2006, and our Kapalua Collection Store in March 2006. These shops were adjacent to the hotel and represented approximately 6,600 square feet of retail area. In mid-October 2006, our new 1,900 square foot Kapalua Collections store featuring upscale resort wear opened at The Honolua Village Center in our central resort area.

        Revenues from the Kapalua Villas increased in 2006 compared to 2005, primarily reflecting an 18% increase in the average room rates, partially offset by a lower number of occupied rooms. The increase in average room rates was due to a greater number of direct bookings and a more aggressive pricing strategy across all channels and product categories.

        In 2006, we recognized revenues of $33.5 million and a pre-tax gain of $31.6 million from the sale of approximately 2,200 acres of non-core Upcountry Maui land. The land sold was comprised of agricultural lands that had been earmarked for disposition as "non-core" to our strategic plans. In 2005, we recognized revenues of $32.2 million and operating profit of $26.9 million from seven real estate sales transactions. In June 2005, we concluded the sale of approximately 25 acres of land and

28



improvements to the Hui No`eau Visual Arts Center. We also sold approximately 600 acres of Upcountry Maui land in 2005.

        Our equity in the losses of Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC was $5.3 million in 2006 compared to $454,000 in 2005. The increased loss is the result of closure of the Kapalua Bay Hotel in April 2006 and the preparation for and commencement of sales and marketing efforts for the whole and fractional condominium units that will comprise The Residences at Kapalua Bay project.

        Honolua Ridge Phase II residential subdivision consists of 25 agricultural lots, which began selling in August 2005. Through the end of 2006, 16 lots had closed escrow, with nine lot sales closing in 2006. Revenues and profit from this project were being recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, under which we recognized revenues of $26.2 million in 2006. Honolua Ridge Phase II was substantially complete as of December 31, 2006.

        In 2005, we recognized revenues of $30.8 million from Honolua Ridge Phase I and Phase II lot sales. At December 31, 2005, the infrastructure improvements for Honolua Ridge Phase I were substantially complete, and Honolua Ridge Phase II was approximately 35% complete.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        At December 31, 2007, the Company's total debt, including capital leases, was $61.7 million, an increase of $10.6 million from December 31, 2006. Additional debt in 2007 was needed to fund capital expenditures and investments, and operating cash flows.

        In November 2007, we entered into a $90 million secured revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and certain other lenders. We borrowed approximately $17.0 million under the loan at closing at the prime rate. Interest is due monthly and all outstanding principal and accrued interest is due on November 13, 2009, the maturity date of the loan. In January 2008, we entered into a fixed-interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo, the effect of which was to convert variable-rate interest expense, which was previously tied to 1-, 2-, 3- and 6-month LIBOR terms, to fixed-rate interest expense based on a 2-year fixed LIBOR rate. The interest rate swap enabled us to lock-in an average interest rate of 4.43% for approximately two years on $55.0 million of outstanding variable rate, revolving balances.

        The initial advance under the credit facility was used to re-pay approximately $16.1 million in debt, representing all of the outstanding principal and interest under our then existing revolving credit facility. Subsequent advances will be used for short-term capital requirements, working capital and general corporate purposes.

29


        Net cash used in operating activities for 2007 and 2006 was $7.6 million and $20.2 million, respectively. In 2005, net cash flows provided by operating activities was $9.9 million. By reportable segment, these cash flows were approximately as follows:

        Agriculture and Resort segment cash flows used in operating activities for 2007, 2006 and 2005 are largely results of our operating losses in those segments.

        The Community Development segment cash flows from operating activities generally vary with the amount of new real estate product available for sale and construction activity on products held for sale. In 2005, we began the sales and construction of infrastructure for Honolua Ridge Phase II agricultural lots. In 2007, the closing of Honolua Ridge lot sales and collections on promissory notes for prior year lot sales produced cash of approximately $25.6 million. In 2006, nine Honolua Ridge Phase II lots closed escrow, resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $14 million. Cash outflows for construction of these projects were approximately $11 million in 2006 and $12 million in 2005.

        Taxes and interest paid in 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $6.0 million, $7.5 million and $747,000, respectively.

        In 2005, proceeds from the disposal of property of $14.3 million represent partial proceeds from the sale of Upcountry Maui acreage. At the end of 2005, the remaining cash from these sales of $13.9 million were held by an exchange intermediary pending reinvestment in other long lived assets.

        In 2005, cash flows used in investing activities included $16.9 million for additions to fixed assets and $5.0 million for deferred development costs.

        Contributions to our defined benefit pension plans are expected to be approximately $1.1 million in 2008.

        In 2008, we expect the Agriculture segment to have capital expenditures of approximately $1.8 million and the Resort segment to have expenditures of approximately $4.6 million. These expenditures are principally for new equipment and facilities.

        Expenditures in 2008 for Community Development segment capital projects, deferred development costs and joint venture equity investments are expected to be approximately $23 million. In connection with the planning for the various projects, we will analyze the feasibility of proceeding with each project and will seek project specific non-recourse financing for some of the capital projects.

        At December 31, 2007, we had unused long-term credit lines of $73.6 million. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that existing cash and cash equivalents balances, short-term investment balances, cash flows from operations, and borrowings from existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, if events or circumstances occur such that we do not meet our operating plan as expected, we may be required to seek additional financing to fund certain capital expenditures and other construction projects in 2008. Such financing may include debt and/or equity financing or funding through third party agreements. Any equity financing may result in dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may include restrictive covenants. We are in the process of seeking specific financing for some of our investments and construction projects, and we believe that (although no assurances can be given) we will be able to obtain the necessary financing for any new capital projects.

(1)
Future interest payments on long term debt were calculated assuming that future interest rates equal the rates at December 31, 2007.

(2)
These operating leases and purchase commitments are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheets under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(3)
Amounts consist primarily of payments due under our deferred compensation plan, unfunded pension payments and severance plans. Where pension payments were for lifetime, payments were estimated for five additional years.

(4)
The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company has not provided a detailed estimate of the timing of payments amounting to $748,000 due to the uncertainty of when the related tax settlements are due.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

        Our accounting policies are described in Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements (included in Item 8). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of accounting estimates. Some of these estimates and assumptions involve a high level of subjectivity and judgment and therefore the impact of a change in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the amounts reported in our financial statements. The accounting policies and estimates that we have identified as critical to the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Item 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        Our primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is due to changes in interest rates. We manage this risk by monitoring interest rates and future cash requirements and evaluating opportunities to refinance borrowings at various maturities and interest rates. We may also utilize interest rate swaps or other derivatives to reduce risks associated with changes in interest rates.

        At December 31, 2007, 73% of our borrowings carried interest rates that were periodically adjustable to the prime rate, or to a LIBOR rate, and 27% carried interest at fixed rates. The average interest rate on our debt outstanding at December 31, 2007 was 7.7% and the fair value of our debt was $59.7 million. In January 2008, we entered into a fixed-interest rate swap agreement to reduce cash flow variability of our variable-rate debt. The effect of the swap is to convert variable-rate interest expense, which was previously tied to 1-, 2-, 3- and 6-month LIBOR terms, to fixed-rate interest expense based on a 2-year fixed LIBOR rate. The interest rate swap enabled us to lock-in an interest rate for two years for up to $55.0 million of our outstanding variable rate, revolving balances. We completed the swap in order to hedge against the variability in cash flows attributable to interest rate risk caused by changes in short-term LIBOR rates.

        Absent the interest rate swap described above, and based on debt outstanding at the end of 2007, a hypothetical increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would have increased our interest expense by approximately $435,000 and a hypothetical decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would have increased the fair value of our long-term debt by approximately $634,000. At December 31, 2007, the fair value of the Company's long-term debt was approximately equal to its fair value (Note 16 to consolidated financial statements).

        The Company does not have significant market risk exposure due to foreign currency exchange transactions.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

        We use the LIFO method of accounting for our pineapple inventories. Under this method, the cost of products sold approximates current cost and, during periods of rising prices, the ending inventory is reflected at an amount below current cost. See Inventories, Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

        Most of the land owned by us was acquired from 1911 to 1932 and is carried at cost. A small portion of "Real Estate Held for Sale" represents land cost. Replacements and additions to Pineapple operations occur every year and some of the assets presently in use were placed in service in 1934. At Kapalua, some of the fixed assets were constructed and placed in service in the mid-to-late 1970s. Depreciation expense would be considerably higher if fixed assets were stated at current cost.

Item 8.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc.
Kahului, Hawaii

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

        A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the

35



risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

        As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 on January 1, 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment on January 1, 2006, and SFAS No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), on December 31, 2006.

MAUI LAND & PINEAPPLE COMPANY, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CONSOLIDATION

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries, primarily Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd. and Kapalua Land Company, Ltd. The Company's principal operations include production and sale of pineapple products, resort operations, and real estate development and sales. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

        Comprehensive income includes all changes in Stockholders' Equity, except those resulting from capital stock transactions. Comprehensive income includes the pension benefits adjustments (see Employee Benefit Plans, Note 9).

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

        Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits in banks and commercial paper with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

INVENTORIES

        Inventories of tinplate, cans, ends and processed pineapple products are stated at cost, not in excess of market value, using the dollar value last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. As a result of the restructuring of the Company's pineapple operations in 2007 (see Note 2 and Note 6), inventories at year-end 2007 do not include tinplate, cans and ends, and processed pineapple products are comprised solely of juice products with a LIFO cost of $112,000. The Company's fresh fruit inventories are stated at cost, not to exceed net realizable value using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.

        The Company accounts for the costs of growing pineapple in accordance with the "annual accrual method," which has been used by Hawaii's pineapple and sugarcane growers since the 1950s. Under this method, revenues and costs are determined on the accrual basis, and pineapple production costs incurred during a year are charged to the costs of crops harvested during that year. These costs include land preparation and planting, cultivation, irrigation, crop development, harvesting and hauling to the packing facility. They also include certain overhead costs that are directly related to the growing of pineapple. Accordingly, no costs are assigned to the growing (unharvested) crops. The annual accrual method is the most appropriate method of accounting for the costs of growing pineapple because of the pineapple's crop cycle (18 to 48 months) and the uncertainties about fruit quality and the number of crops to be harvested from each planting (one to three crops). AICPA Statement of Position No. 85-3 ("SOP"), Accounting by Agricultural Producers and Agricultural Cooperatives, states that all direct and indirect costs of growing crops should be accumulated and growing crops should be reported at the lower of cost or market. However, the SOP does not apply to growers of pineapple and sugarcane in tropical regions because tropical agriculture (of which pineapple and sugarcane production in Hawaii are examples) differs greatly from agriculture in temperate regions of the mainland United States. The Company's growing (unharvested) crops generally consisted of approximately 3,500 to 4,200 acres that are expected to yield up to 52 tons per acre for the first crop harvested. The Company's growing crops are in various stages of development, and will be harvested principally in the years 2008 and 2009.

42


        Real estate held for sale is stated at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. These costs generally include direct on-site construction costs, offsite improvement cost, planning and permitting costs for the project, and the cost of the land.

        Merchandise, materials and supplies are stated at cost, not in excess of market value, using the retail and average cost methods. Merchandise inventories are retail inventories held for sale at the Kapalua Resort. Materials and supply inventories include amounts for both the Agriculture and the Resort segments.

INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES

        Investments in affiliates, partnerships, and limited liability companies, over which the Company exercises significant influence, but not control, are generally accounted for using the equity method.

OTHER ASSETS

        Deferred costs are primarily real estate development costs related to various projects at the Kapalua Resort that will be allocated to future income-producing development projects.

        Cash surrender value of life insurance policies is reflected net of loans against the policies.

PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION

        Property is stated at cost. Major replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of an asset are charged to expense as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the property and the related accumulated depreciation are written off and the resulting gains or losses are included in income. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using the straight-line method generally over three to 25 years.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When such events or changes occur, an estimate of the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition is made. If the sum of such expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount by which the assets' net book values exceed their fair value.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

        The Company's policy is to fund pension cost at a level at least equal to the minimum amount required under federal law, but not more than the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes.

        The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 158 ("SFAS 158"), Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefits Pension and Other Postretirement Plans as of December 31, 2006. The Standard amends FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) and requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur though comprehensive income. The pension asset or liability is the difference between the plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation as of year end.

43


        Deferred compensation plans for certain management employees provide for specified payments after retirement. The present value of estimated payments to be made is accrued over the period of active employment. In 1998, future benefits under these plans were terminated (see Employee Benefit Plans, Note 9).

        The estimated cost of providing postretirement health care and life insurance benefits is accrued over the period employees render the necessary services.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

        Product revenues primarily include the sales of pineapple, retail merchandise at the Kapalua Resort, sales of real estate inventories and revenues from the sale of non-core land parcels (land not used in the Company's core operations). Service revenues primarily include income from golf course operations, income from the Kapalua Villas rental program, lease revenues and real estate commission income.

        Revenues from the sale of pineapple products are recognized when title and risk of loss to the product are transferred to the customer. The timing of transfer of title varies according to the shipping and delivery terms of the sale.

        Sales of real estate are recognized as revenues in the period in which sufficient cash has been received, collection of the balance is reasonably assured and risks of ownership have passed to the buyer. The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method to recognize revenues and profits from the sale of residential land parcels where the Company is obligated to construct improvements (roads, sidewalks, drainage, and utilities) after the closing of the sale. Under this method, revenues are recognized over the construction improvement period on the basis of costs incurred as a percentage of expected total costs to be incurred.

        Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.

        Revenues from other activities are recognized when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

INTEREST CAPITALIZATION

        Interest costs are capitalized during the construction period of major capital projects.

ADVERTISING AND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

        The costs of advertising and research and development activities are expensed as incurred.

LEASES

        Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of the property are accounted for as capital leases. Amortization of property under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Other leases are accounted for as operating leases. Rentals under operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis.

INCOME TAXES

        The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48") on January 1, 2007. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return (see Note 12).

44


        The Company's provision for income taxes is calculated using the liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for all temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates enacted by law or regulation. A valuation allowance is established for deferred income tax assets if management believes that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the asset will not be realized through future taxable income.

STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

        The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123(R)"), effective January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective application transition method. The Company had previously accounted for its stock-based compensation arrangements under SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. Under the modified prospective method, awards that were granted, modified, or settled on or after January 1, 2006 are measured and accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123(R). The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount recognized. In addition, prior to adoption of SFAS 123(R), benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation costs were reported as operating cash flows. SFAS 123(R) requires excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid.

USE OF ESTIMATES

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Future actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

RECLASSIFICATION

        Certain amounts in 2006 and 2005 have been reclassified to conform to presentations adopted in 2007.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest be identified in the consolidated financial statements. It also calls for consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent's ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations ("SFAS 141R"). SFAS 141R broadens the guidance of SFAS No. 141, extending its applicability to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. It broadens the fair value measurement and recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and interests transferred as a result of business combinations. SFAS 141R expands on required disclosures to improve the statement users' abilities to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS 141R is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 141R to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

45


        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its existing eligible financial instruments on January 1, 2008, the effective date of SFAS 159, and has not determined whether it will elect this option for any new financial instruments acquired in the future.

        In November 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB ("EITF") reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-8, Applicability of the Assessment of a Buyer's Continuing Investment under FASB Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, for Sales of Condominiums ("EITF 06-8"). EITF 06-8 will require condominium sales to meet the continuing investment criterion in SFAS No. 66 in order for profit to be recognized under the percentage-of-completion method. EITF 06-8 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The cumulative effect of applying EITF 06-8, is to be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that EITF 06-8 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157") which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in fair value guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company's financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2008, and its nonfinancial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2009. SFAS 157 is not expected to significantly impact the manner in which the Company determines the fair value of its assets and liabilities, but it may require certain additional disclosures.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

        Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares from stock-based compensation arrangements had been issued.

        Diluted earnings per common share is computed on the assumption that the shares of nonvested restricted stock are issued for an amount based on the grant date market price of the shares and that the outstanding stock options are exercised. The treasury stock method is applied to determine the number of potentially dilutive shares.

        Reconciliation between average number of shares outstanding and the average number of shares outstanding after the effect of dilutive shares follows:

 
  2007
  2006
  2005
Average number of shares outstanding   7,802,282   7,259,534   7,229,457
Effect of dilutive securities:            
  Outstanding stock options and non-vested restricted stock   60,674   88,160   79,586
   
 
 
Average number of shares outstanding after effect of dilutive shares   7,862,956   7,347,694   7,309,043

        The computation of average dilutive shares outstanding excluded 623,280, 433,540, and 145,684 of non-qualified stock options to purchase common stock and non-vested restricted stock for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These amounts were excluded because the

46



options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock for the periods presented and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

2. INVENTORIES

        Pineapple product inventories were comprised of the following components at December 31, 2007 and 2006:

 
  2007
  2006
 
  (in thousands)

Finished Goods   $ 1,112   $ 1,416
Work In Progress         299
Raw Materials         492
   
 
Total   $ 1,112   $ 2,207
   
 

        At December 31, 2007, finished goods inventories are comprised of fresh fruit at a FIFO cost of $1.0 million and processed juice products at a LIFO cost of $112,000. The replacement cost of the LIFO inventories at year-end 2007 was approximately $628,000. At December 31, 2006, the replacement cost of pineapple product inventories approximated $8 million.

        In 2007, 2006 and 2005, there were partial liquidations of LIFO inventories; thus, cost of product revenues included prior years' inventory costs, which were lower than current costs. Had current costs been charged to cost of product revenues, income before income taxes for 2007, 2006 and 2005 would have decreased by $4.3 million, $2.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

3. OTHER ASSETS

        Other Assets at December 31, 2007 and 2006 consisted of the following:

 
  2007
  2006
 
  (in thousands)

Deferred costs   $ 32,251   $ 24,360
Deferred compensation plan contributions     4,670     2,980
Cash surrender value of life insurance policies (net)     1,791     1,646
Notes receivable from real estate sales     1,076     1,009
Other     3,928     3,894
   
 
Total   $ 43,716   $ 33,889
   
 

        The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan whereby management employees can make pre-tax deferrals of their salary and of any cash bonus. Cash surrender value of life insurance policies is stated net of policy loans, totaling $642,000 and $619,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The policy loans bear interest at 5.75% to 8% and are payable upon the death of the insured or cancellation of the policies. The Company owns the insurance policies and the related cash surrender values, and has directly borrowed against such cash surrender values for general operating purposes. The loans were not provided by or on behalf of the Company to our officers and/or directors. The Company has the right to offset the loans against the proceeds received on maturity or cancellation of the policies; accordingly, the loans are presented as a reduction of the respective cash surrender values included in other noncurrent assets on the Company's balance sheet.

47


4. INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES

        The Company's investment in affiliates consists of the following as of December 31, 2007 and 2006:

 
  2007
  2006
 
  (in thousands)

Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC   $ 59,792   $ 10,041
Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua Hotel JV        
   
 
    $ 59,792   $ 10,041
   
 

KAPALUA BAY HOLDINGS, LLC

        The Company has a 51% ownership interest in Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC, ("Bay Holdings"), which is the sole member of Kapalua Bay LLC, ("Kapalua Bay"). The other members of Bay Holdings through wholly owned affiliates are Marriott International Inc. ("Marriott"), 34% and Exclusive Resorts LLC ("ER"), 15%. A 46% shareholder of the Company through related companies is the majority owner of ER. Bay Holdings is not a variable interest entity, as defined in FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46(R)"). The Company accounts for its investment in Bay Holdings using the equity method of accounting because, although it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, it does not control Bay Holdings through a majority voting interest. Under the LLC agreement, major decisions require the approval of either 75% or 100% of the membership interests.

        The Company has been designated as the managing member of Bay Holdings and as such manages the affairs of the entity. Profits and losses of Bay Holdings are allocated in proportion to the members' ownership interests, which approximate the estimated cash distributions to the members.

        Upon formation of Kapalua Bay in 2004, the Company's non-monetary contributions to Bay Holdings, including a 21-acre land parcel, were valued at $25 million by the members through arms-length negotiations. The land contribution was recorded by the Company in its investment in Bay Holdings at historical cost, which was nominal, and Kapalua Bay recorded the contribution at its fair value of $25 million. The Company recorded its non-monetary capital contributions to Bay Holdings at the carrying values (carryover historical cost basis) of the assets contributed because the contributions are not the culmination of an earnings process. The historical cost basis of the land is nominal because it was acquired in the early 1900s.

        Kapalua Bay is constructing a residential development on land that it owns at the site of the former Kapalua Bay Hotel, and a spa on an adjacent parcel of land that is owned by the Company and leased to Kapalua Bay. The Kapalua Bay Hotel closed in April 2006 to prepare for the commencement of sales and marketing efforts for the whole and fractional condominium units that comprise the Residences at Kapalua Bay project. In June 2006, Kapalua Bay began to enter into binding sales contracts and, in the second half of 2006, demolition and construction began. Sales of the whole units began in June 2006 and sales of the fractional residential units began in July 2006. In 2007, Bay Holdings began to recognize profit from binding sales contracts on the whole and fractional ownership condominiums on the percentage-of-completion method.

        The Company's 2007, 2006 and 2005 equity in the income (losses) of Bay Holdings was $16.8 million, $(5.3) million and $(454,000), respectively. In 2007, as Bay Holdings recognized profit from the binding sales contracts on a percentage-of-completion method, the Company began to recognize a proportionate amount of the unrealized appreciation of the fair value of the land and other non-monetary contributions to Kapalua Bay and other deferred costs related to the joint venture. This resulted in additional income, net of deferred costs, of $3.3 million for 2007, which is included in the Company's equity in income of Bay Holdings.

48


        Bay Holdings will adopt EITF 06-8 as of January 1, 2008. EITF 06-8 requires condominium sales to meet the continuing investment criterion in SFAS No. 66 in order for profit to be recognized under the percentage-of-completion method. For sales to date that do not meet the continuing investment criteria in SFAS 66, EITF 06-8 will require that such transactions be accounted for using the deposit method with profits being deferred until they qualify for percentage-of-completion accounting in later periods. The cumulative effect of adopting EITF 06-8 will be recorded as a charge to January 1, 2008 retained earnings, and the Company will record its proportionate share of this adjustment to its opening retained earnings for 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that EITF 06-8 will have on its financial statements.

        In July 2006, Kapalua Bay entered into a Construction Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., ("Lehman"), for the lesser of $370 million or 61.6% of the total projected cost of the project. The Loan is collateralized by the project assets, including the fee simple interest in the land owned by Kapalua Bay, the adjacent spa parcel owned by the Company, and all of the sales contracts. Disbursements under the Loan Agreement are contingent upon, among other things, no event of default or material adverse change occurring with respect to Kapalua Bay or the project. The loan is not revolving in nature and amounts repaid may not be subsequently advanced. All loan proceeds disbursed shall be used only for specified budgeted items for which such proceeds were advanced. Lehman is not obligated to make loan advances exceeding $85 million until sales of residential units equals or exceeds $285.0 million. As of December 31, 2007, Kapalua Bay had $85 million of advances from the loan and binding sales commitments totaled $264.2 million. As of the end of February 2008, Kapalua Bay had $290.4 million of binding sales commitments and funds from the loan agreement were scheduled to be released, subject to provisions of the loan agreement.

        The Company and the other members of the joint venture have guaranteed to the lender completion of the project and each member's pro rata share of costs and losses incurred by the lender as a result of the occurrence of specified triggering events during the term of the Loan Agreement. The members' guarantee to the lender does not include payment in full of the Loan. The Company has recognized a liability of $968,000, representing the estimated fair value of its obligation under these provisions. During 2007, the Company made cash contributions of $33.2 million to Bay Holdings.

        The Company had an agreement with Bay Holdings to provide entitlement services relating to the receipt of governmental permits for the development projects. The fee to the Company for these services was $450,000, which in lieu of cash payment was deemed to be contributed to the Company's capital account in Bay Holdings in two equal installments in 2005 and 2006. The Company recorded income for 49% (amount attributable to the other members) of the fee earned in 2005 and 2006. In 2006, Bay Holdings entered into agreements with the Company to sell the spa, beach club improvements, and the sundry store to the Company upon completion. In addition, pursuant to a sales and marketing agreement, Bay Holdings paid $98,000 and $341,000 to the Company in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

        Summarized balance sheet information for Bay Holdings as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and operating information for 2007, 2006 and 2005 follows (certain balance sheet amounts from 2006 have

49

RITZ-CARLTON, KAPALUA HOTEL JV

        On March 28, 2007, the Company sold the land underlying the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel to W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings, L.L.C., (the "Hotel JV") that owned the hotel and was the lessee under the long-term ground lease with the Company. Approximately 49 acres, with a nominal cost basis, were sold for $25 million in cash at closing and for a 21.4% interest in the Hotel JV, and the Company recognized a gain of $24.8 million on the partial sale of the land.

        Profits and losses of the Hotel JV will be allocated in proportion to the members' ownership interests, which approximate the estimated cash distributions to the members. The Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the Hotel JV and will account for its investment in the Hotel JV using the equity method. The Hotel JV is not a variable interest entity as defined in FIN 46(R).

        The Company's carrying value of its interest in the Hotel JV is $0 and, accordingly, the Company is not recording its share of the equity in losses in the Hotel JV because the Company is neither guaranteeing the obligations of the Hotel JV nor is it committed or expected to fund future obligations or losses of the Hotel JV.

        Certain dilution provisions provide that should the Company choose not to fund additional cash calls, if any, its interest will be reduced by the aggregate amount of the increase in the percentage interests of all contributing members, but in no event shall the Company's percentage interest be reduced below 10%.

        Concurrent with the Hotel JV Agreement, the Hotel JV entered into certain loan agreements with Lehman totaling $271.7 million and an amendment to an existing loan agreement of $20 million with Luxury Finance, LLC. The loans are principally for the purpose of acquiring the land from the Company, repaying existing debt, and completing a rooms conversion project and comprehensive refurbishment of the hotel. The Company is not liable for the repayment of the loans, but is liable for any loss suffered by the lenders as a result of the Company's fraudulent acts, misrepresentation or

50



certain other triggering events, up to 10.71% of the then outstanding loan balances. The Company has recognized a liability of $93,000, representing the estimated fair value of its obligations under these provisions.

        Summarized balance sheet information for the Hotel JV as of December 31, 2007 and operating information for the period from March 28, 2007 to December 31, 2007 follows:

5. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

        During 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company had average borrowings outstanding of $39.1 million, $29.5 million, and $16.3 million, respectively, at average interest rates of 7.7%, 7.4% and 6.7%, respectively. At December 31, 2007, the Company had unused long-term credit lines of $73.6 million.

        Long-term debt at December 31, 2007 and 2006 consisted of the following (interest rates represent the rates at December 31):

 
  2007
  2006
 
  (in thousands)

Revolving loans, 6.23% to 6.54% and 6.75% to 8.25%   $ 43,500   $ 33,400
Term Loan, 6.93%     9,726     9,988
Equipment loans, 6.05% to 6.93% and 6.06% to 6.93%     6,478     7,665

Long-term debt   $ 58,453   $ 49,657
   
 

        In November 2007, the Company entered into a $90 million revolving line of credit ("Loan Agreement") secured by approximately 1,437 acres of the Company's West Maui land. At the Company's option, interest on advances will be based on the Administrative Agent's prime rate or a one- to six-month LIBOR rate. Interest is due monthly and all outstanding principal and accrued interest is due on November 13, 2009. There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolving facility. The Loan Agreement contains various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. The initial advance at closing of approximately $16.1 million was used to repay all principal and interest due on the Company's $30 million revolving credit agreement and such agreement was cancelled. At December 31, 2007, the Company had irrevocable letters of credit totaling $2.1 million that were secured by this loan facility.

51


        In January 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce future cash flow variability for approximately two years on $55 million of variable rate debt. The effect of the swap is to convert variable-rate interest expense, which was previously tied to 1-, 2-, 3- and 6-month LIBOR terms, to fixed-rate interest expense based on a 2-year fixed LIBOR rate.

        The Company also has a $25.0 million revolving loan that is secured by certain parcels of the Company's real property on Maui that matures in June 2011. The draw period and maturity date will automatically extend to June 2026 provided there is no default or event of default (as defined) on June 1, 2011. Commitment fees of .25% to .40% are payable on the unused portion of the revolving facility. At the Company's option, interest rates on advances are adjustable to the prime rate or based on one-month to one-year LIBOR rates. The agreement includes certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of a minimum net worth and interest coverage ratio, maximum funded debt to capitalization ratio, and limits on capital expenditures and the payment of dividends.

        In October 2006, the Company entered into a $10.0 million term loan agreement, secured by approximately 20 acres of land and other real estate comprising the Company's cannery property. Interest accrues on the loan at a fixed rate of 6.93% and the loan is being repaid over a 20-year term with monthly interest and principal payments of $77,169. The Company may prepay the outstanding principal of the loan at any time subject to a prepayment penalty of 2% in the first year and 1% in the second year of the loan.

        The Company has agreements that provide for term loans that were used to purchase equipment for the Company's Agriculture and Resort operations. At December 31, 2007, these loans were principally at fixed interest rates and mature through November 2026. Some of the agreements include financial covenants that are similar to those in the Company's revolving credit agreement.

        The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at December 31, 2007.

        Maturities of long-term debt during the next five years, from 2008 through 2012, are as follows: $1,251,000, $19,786,000, $1,375,000, $26,471,000 and $1,573,000.

6. PINEAPPLE OPERATIONS RESTRUCTURING

        In April 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved a comprehensive plan that would continue to shift the pineapple operations' focus to fresh fruit sales. As part of this plan, the Company ceased substantially all canning and processing of solid-pack pineapple products effective as of June 30, 2007. The Company continues to process pineapple juice and has extended its fresh fruit line to include products for institutional accounts.

        As a result of this restructuring, the Company eliminated 133 positions in its pineapple operations, including all but one of its California sales staff. Agreements were concluded to terminate a long-term purchase commitment for Champaka pineapple (a variety used principally for canning or juice) and to cancel the Company's seven-year lease of its California sales office. Equipment, material and supplies related to the canning operations were sold to a third party auctioneer or written off. At December 31, 2007, $2.3 million was included in trade accounts payable related to termination of a purchase supply contract. The net charges recorded in 2007 related to the restructuring of canning operations were as follows:

        In November 2007, Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd. ("MPC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Exclusive Consignment and Marketing Agreement with Calavo Growers, Inc. ("Calavo"). The agreement provides that Calavo will sell the Company's Maui Gold® pineapple on consignment and will be the sole and exclusive source of Maui Gold® pineapple in North America. MPC shall pay Calavo a marketing and distribution fee, a warehousing fee, and certain quarterly milestone payments based on the achievement of certain sales objectives. The agreement is effective from December 1, 2007 until December 31, 2008, and automatically renews at the end of each twelve month period unless terminated by either party upon 30 days' notice.

7. REAL ESTATE SALES

        In 2007, the Company sold approximately 683 acres of non-core Upcountry Maui property in five land sales transactions and recognized revenues of $19.9 million and a pre-tax gain of approximately $19.5 million from these land sales. See also Note 11.

        In 2006, the Company sold approximately 2,200 acres of non-core Upcountry Maui land in three land sales transactions, and recognized pre-tax gains of $31.6 million. At December 31, 2006, the Company held notes receivable of $5.9 million related to one of the sales. In January 2007, one note totaling $4.5 million was collected. The remaining note receivable for $1.4 million is recorded net of deferred revenue of equal amount on the Company's balance sheet pending the final determination of the additional cost to the buyer as a result of a Maui County affordable housing policy that was adopted in November 2006. If the cost to the buyer as a result of this policy is less than $1.4 million, the difference will be paid to the Company. If the cost is equal to or greater than $1.4 million, the Company will forgive the buyer's debt under the note receivable.

        In 2005, the Company sold approximately 640 acres of Upcountry Maui properties in seven transactions that resulted in net cash sales proceeds of $28.2 million. Proceeds of $2.6 million were used to purchase property to be used in the Company's operations. Part of the consideration for one of the sales transactions was a one-acre parcel of land in West Maui valued at $350,000. The gain on these sales recognized was $26.9 million.

        One of the 2005 land sales involved three parcels of approximately 129 acres of Upcountry Maui land for $14 million, comprised of $11 million in cash and a promissory note for $3 million. In connection with the sale, the Company and the buyer executed a Water Development Agreement. Under the agreement, the Company will drill a new water well and construct a storage tank and a transmission line that will connect to the County of Maui water system. The well and storage tank will be constructed on a separate land parcel of Company-owned land. After the County's approval of the completed project, the Company will dedicate the facilities to the County for use as part of the County's Upcountry water system. In exchange for the dedication, the Company expects to receive access to a specified quantity of water. Based on estimates of the cost to construct the water source and on the potential water flow from the well, the estimated water source cost was allocated between the three parcels sold and other Company projects in the Upcountry area. Profit of $7.0 million on the transaction was allocated to the sale of the land parcels and $1.9 million was allocated to subsequent construction of the water source. Both of these activities will have the same rate of gross profit pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate. The $3.0 million note receivable is due on the date the buyer receives its allocated water source; accordingly, the $1.9 million of gross profit relating to construction of the water source will be recognized in future periods based on performance.

8. LEASING ARRANGEMENTS

LESSEE

        The Company has capital leases, primarily on equipment used in Agriculture operations, which expire at various dates through 2011. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, property included capital leases

53



of $2,308,000 and $1,706,000 (before accumulated amortization of $1,335,000 and $1,305,000, respectively). Future minimum rental payments under capital leases aggregate $2,447,000 (including $443,000 representing interest) and are payable for the next five years (2008 to 2012) as follows: $521,000, $511,000, $391,000, $251,000 and $241,000 respectively, and $532,000 thereafter.

        The Company has various operating leases, primarily for land used in Agriculture operations, which expire at various dates through 2017. Total rental expense under operating leases was $1,288,000 in 2007, $878,000 in 2006 and $880,000 in 2005. Future minimum rental payments under operating leases aggregate $3,473,000 and are payable during the next five years (2008 to 2012) as follows: $657,000, $623,000, $604,000, $581,000 and $201,000, respectively, and $807,000 thereafter.

LESSOR

        The Company leases space in buildings, primarily to retail tenants. These operating leases generally provide for minimum rents and, in most cases, percentage rentals based on tenant revenues. In addition, the leases generally provide for reimbursement of common area maintenance and other expenses. Total rental income under these operating leases was as follows:

 
  2007
  2006
  2005
 
  (in thousands)

Minimum rentals   $ 590   $ 665   $ 433
Percentage rentals     1,280     1,925     1,674
   
 
 
Total   $ 1,870   $ 2,590   $ 2,107
   
 
 

        Property at December 31, 2007 and 2006 includes leased property of $13,699,000 and $14,298,000, respectively (before accumulated depreciation of $4,322,000 and $4,373,000, respectively). As discussed in Note 4, the Company was the ground lessor of the land underlying the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel until the sale of the land in March 2007.

        Future minimum rental income aggregates $2,442,000 and is receivable during the next five years (2008 to 2012) as follows: $494,000, $486,000, $468,000, $258,000 and $195,000, respectively, and $541,000 thereafter.

9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

        The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all full-time, part-time and intermittent employees. Pension benefits are based primarily on years of service and compensation levels. The Company has defined benefit postretirement health and life insurance plans that cover primarily non-bargaining salaried employees and certain bargaining unit employees. Postretirement health and life insurance benefits are principally based on the employee's job classification at the time of retirement and on years of service.

        As of December 31, 2006, the Company adopted FASB SFAS 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefits Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. The Standard amends FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) and requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur though comprehensive income. The pension asset or liability is the difference between the plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation as of year end. For other postretirement benefit plans, the asset or liability is the difference between the plan assets at fair value and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of year end. The incremental effect from

        The measurement date for the Company's benefit plan disclosures is December 31st of each year. The changes in benefit obligations and plan assets for 2007 and 2006, and the funded status of the plans, and assumptions used to determine benefit information at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

Expected long-term return on plan assets     8.00 %   8.00 %        
Rate of compensation increase     3.50 %   3.50 %   3.50 %   3.50 %

        Special termination benefits and curtailments in 2007 and 2006 primarily relate to the termination of Agriculture segment employees because of changes in the business.

        The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with accumulated benefits in excess of plan assets were $57,195,000, $53,042,000 and

55



$46,745,000, respectively as of December 31, 2007 and $58,109,000, $53,559,000, and $45,799,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2006.

        The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for health care as of December 31, 2007 was determined using a health care cost trend rate of 8% and decreasing by .5% each year through 2013, and 5% thereafter. The effect of a 1% annual increase in these assumed cost trend rates would increase the accrued postretirement benefit obligation by approximately $1,483,000 as of December 31, 2007, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost for 2007 by approximately $142,000. A 1% annual decrease would reduce the accrued postretirement benefit obligation by approximately $1,218,000 as of December 31, 2007, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost for 2007 by approximately $114,000.

        The amounts recognized on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

        The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was based on historical total returns of broad equity and bond indices for ten to fifteen year periods, weighted against the Company's targeted pension asset allocation ranges. These rates were also compared to historical rates of return on hypothetical blended funds with 60% equity securities and 40% bond securities.

57


        The Company's pension plan weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, 2007 and 2006, by asset category, was as follows:

Asset Category

  2007
  2006
 
Equity securities   75 % 67 %
Debt securities   24 % 31 %
Other   1 % 2 %

        A pension committee consisting of certain senior management employees administers the Company's defined benefit pension plans. The pension plan assets are allocated among approved asset types based on asset allocation guidelines and investment and risk-management guidelines set by the pension committee, and subject to liquidity requirements of the plans. The pension committee has set the following asset mix guidelines: equity securities 40% to 80%; debt securities 20% to 60%; international securities 0% to 10%; and cash or equivalents 0% to 10%.

        The Company expects to contribute $1.1 million to its defined benefit pension plans and $850,000 to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2008. Estimated future benefit payments, which include expected future service, are as follows:

2008   $ 3,191   $ 776
2009     3,233     812

        The Company has investment and savings plans that allow eligible employees on a voluntary basis to make pre-tax contributions of their cash compensation. Substantially all employees are eligible to participate in one or more plans. No Company contributions were made to these plans in 2007, 2006 or 2005.

        On October 1, 1998, deferred compensation plans that provided for specified payments after retirement for certain management employees were amended to eliminate future benefits. At the termination date, these employees were given credit for existing years of service and future vesting of additional benefits was discontinued. The present value of the benefits to be paid is being accrued over the period of active employment. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, deferred compensation plan liabilities totaled $1,498,000 and $1,679,000, respectively.

10. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

        The Company accounts for stock compensation arrangements in accordance with SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount recognized. SFAS No. 123(R) requires excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid.

        The total compensation expense recognized for stock-based compensation was $4,684,000, $2,063,000 and $2,292,000 for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The total tax benefit related thereto was $1,355,000, $743,000 and $825,000 for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Recognized stock

58



compensation was reduced for estimated forfeitures prior to vesting primarily based on historical annual forfeiture rates of approximately 5.3% and 5.1% for 2007 and 2006, respectively. Prior to 2006, the Company did not estimate the impact of forfeitures that might occur prior to vesting. Estimated forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances.

        In May 2006, the Company's shareholders approved the 2006 Equity and Incentive Award Plan (the "2006 Plan") and an increase in the number of shares of common stock authorized under the Articles of Association by 1,000,000 shares, all of which have been reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan provides that the administrator can grant stock options and other equity instruments. The terms of certain grant types follow general guidelines, but the term and conditions of each award can vary at the discretion of the administrator. With respect to awards granted to non-employee directors, the administrator of the 2006 Plan is the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee of the Board is the administrator of the 2006 Plan for all other persons, unless the Board assumes authority for administration. Upon approval of the 2006 Plan, the Company's Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan of 2003 (the "2003 Plan") was terminated and no further grants will be made under that plan.

        The 2003 Plan was approved by the Company's shareholders in December 2003 and included 500,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance. The Company also has stock compensation agreements with its President and Chief Executive Officer under which non-qualified stock options (200,000 shares) and restricted stock (100,000 shares) were granted in 2003.

  2005
 
Expected life of options in years   6.5   6.2   5.0  
Expected volatility   31.6 % 32.4 % 33.4 %
Risk-free interest rate   4.4 % 5.0 % 4.1 %
Expected dividend yield        

        SFAS No. 123(R) requires the recognition of stock-based compensation for the number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Estimated forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances.

        As of December 31, 2007, there was $6,759,000 of total unrecognized compensation for awards granted under the stock options plans that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

Restricted Stock

        In 2007, 39,000 shares of restricted stock were granted pursuant to the 2006 and 2003 Plans, including 9,000 shares to new and re-elected directors and the remainder to certain officers of the Company. The restricted shares vest as service is provided or vest subject to the achievement of certain performance measures. In 2007, 8,000 shares of restricted stock vested as the directors' service requirements were met, and 75,466 restricted shares previously granted to six management employees vested based on the achievement of certain performance goals. The vesting of 49,466 shares was accounted for as modifications to the respective restricted stock agreements and the current fair value of the stock in March 2007 was used to record compensation expense. The weighted average grant-date

fair value of restricted stock granted during 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $32.32, $34.94 and $39.00 per share, respectively.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        In April 2007, the sale of approximately 181 acres of Upcountry Maui land to the Company's Senior Vice President/ Corporate Development closed escrow and the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $2.8 million. In February 2007, the $4.1 million sale ($4.0 million pre-tax gain) of approximately 157 acres of Upcountry Maui land to the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer closed escrow. Prior to the closing of the latter sale, the Company leased a 3,500 square foot residence that is located on the property to the executive for $1,500 per month, which represented the fair value.

        These land sale agreements were structured in compliance with the Company's policy for related party real estate sales. Such policy requires an independent appraisal of the property value, allows for a 3% discount to the sales price in lieu of broker's commissions, and requires review and approval of the sales price by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The Committee reviewed the appraisals and the terms of the agreements with the other independent Directors, and the sales were approved by all of the independent Directors. The sales agreements require a deposit of $50,000 upon execution and the balance of the sales price is payable in cash upon closing of the sale. Subdivision of the land parcels is a condition precedent to the closing of the sales. The subject properties had been previously designated for sale in 2004 as part of the real estate that is considered non-core to the Company's operations.

        In 2005, the Company purchased a residential property in Upcountry Maui that includes a house and cottage on approximately four acres of land for $2.6 million. The property was purchased for use by Company's executives and is presently being leased to its Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President/ Corporate Development for $3,500 per month under a lease agreement through mid-2010.

12. INCOME TAXES

        The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48") on January 1, 2007. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company increased its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by $200,000, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. As of January 1, 2007, the Company had recorded a liability of approximately $394,000 for potential interest expense for uncertain tax issues. In 2007, the Company recorded $425,000 of additional interest expense for unrecognized tax benefits.

61


        The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties in general administrative expense in its statement of operations, and such amounts are included in income taxes payable on the Company's balance sheet. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

 
  (in thousands)
 
Balance at January 1, 2007   $ 667  
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year     36  
Additions for tax positions of prior years     52  
Reductions for tax positions of prior years     (7 )
   
 
Balance as of December 31, 2007   $ 748  
   
 

        At December 31, 2007, $2.5 million of the unrecognized tax benefits represent taxes on revenues for which the timing of the taxability is uncertain and the liability for such taxes has been recognized as deferred tax liabilities. The acceleration of the recognition of such income would not affect the estimated annual effective tax rate, but would accelerate the payment of income taxes to earlier periods and would result in additional interest expense.

        The components of the income tax provision for 2007, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

 
  2007
  2006
  2005
 
  (in thousands)

Current                  
  Federal   $ 3,844   $ 4,535   $ 2,562
  State     13     87     10
   
 
 
  Total     3,857     4,622     2,572

  Federal     1,535     (654 )   5,267
  State     375     (252 )   884
   
 
 
  Total     1,910     (906 )   6,151
   
 
 
  Total provision   $ 5,767   $ 3,716   $ 8,723
   
 
 

        Reconciliation between the total provision and the amount computed using the statutory federal rate of 35% in 2007 and 2006 and 34% in 2005 were as follows:

 
  2007
  2006
  2005
 
  (in thousands)

Federal provision at statutory rate   $ 4,822   $ 3,829   $ 7,919
Adjusted for State income taxes, net of effect on federal income taxes     222     (67 )   605
  Federal research credits     (115 )   (98 )  
  Provision for FIN 48     81        
  Permanent differences and other     757     52     199
   
 
 
    Total provision   $ 5,767   $ 3,716   $ 8,723
   
 
 

62


        Deferred tax assets and liabilities were comprised of the following temporary differences as of December 31, 2007 and 2006:

 
  2007
  2006
 
 
  (in thousands)

 
Accrued retirement benefits   $ 11,217   $ 10,990  
Accrued liabilities     1,214     1,417  
Inventory     396     405  
Allowance for doubtful accounts     145     228  
Stock compensation     2,456     1,670  
Net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards     292     318  
   
 
 
Total deferred tax assets     15,720     15,028  
   
 
 
Deferred condemnation proceeds     (6,390 )   (6,292 )
Tax deferred land sales     (1,064 )   (1,543 )
Property net book value     (6,182 )   (4,054 )
Income from investments     (4,027 )   (718 )
Agriculture marketing costs         (130 )
Other     (4,155 )   (5,881 )
   
 
 
Total deferred tax liabilities     (21,818 )   (18,618 )
   
 
 
Net deferred tax liabilities   $ (6,098 ) $ (3,590 )
   
 
 

        A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 is not considered necessary, as the Company believes it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be fully realized through future taxable income.

        Net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for State income tax purposes amounted to $17 million at December 31, 2007 and expire in 2012 through 2017. The Company's State of Hawaii income tax returns for 2000 through 2005 are under examination by the Department of Taxation. The tax auditor's reports on these examinations have not been issued and the Company presently cannot predict the outcome of these examinations. The Company's federal income tax returns have been reviewed through 2002.

13. INTEREST CAPITALIZATION

        Interest costs incurred in 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $3,813,000, $2,473,000 and $1,263,000, respectively, of which $1,165,000, $1,698,000 and $742,000, respectively, were capitalized.

14. ADVERTISING AND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

        Advertising expense totaled $2,425,000 in 2007, $6,314,000 in 2006 and $4,328,000 in 2005. Research and development expenses totaled $1,155,000 in 2007, $1,078,000 in 2006 and $530,000 in 2005.

15. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

        A substantial portion of the Company's trade receivables results from sales of pineapple products, primarily to food distribution customers in the United States, buyers of real estate products and travel product wholesalers. Credit is extended after evaluating creditworthiness and no collateral generally is required from customers, except for notes receivable taken on real estate sales.

63


16. DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        Except as indicated below, the carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments approximates fair value.

Non-Current Notes Receivable:

        The fair value of these assets was estimated based on rates that would be currently available for similar transactions. The carrying amount of these assets at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $7,490,000 and $15,713,000, respectively, and the fair value was $7,490,000 and $15,635,000, respectively.

Long-Term Debt:

        The fair value of long-term debt was estimated based on rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The carrying amount of long-term debt at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $59,704,000 and $51,053,000, respectively, and the fair value was $59,693,000 and $50,936,000, respectively.

17. SEGMENT INFORMATION

        The Company's reportable operating segments are Agriculture, Resort and Community Development based on how the Company's chief operating decision maker makes decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. Each segment is a line of business requiring different technical and marketing strategies.

        Agriculture primarily includes growing, packing and marketing fresh premium pineapple products. In 2007, the Company ceased substantially all processing (canning) of solid-pack pineapple.

        Resort includes the ongoing operations at the Kapalua Resort on Maui. These operations include two championship golf courses, a tennis facility, a vacation rental program, several retail outlets, and a resort activities department starting in 2008.

        Community Development includes the Company's real estate entitlement, development, construction, sales and leasing activities. This segment also includes the operations of Kapalua Realty Company, a general brokerage real estate company, located within Kapalua Resort, the Company's Public Utilities Commission regulated water and sewage transmission operations.

        The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Note 1.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        Pursuant to a 1999 settlement agreement with the County of Maui, the Company and several chemical manufacturers have agreed that until December 1, 2039, they will pay for 90% of the capital cost to install filtration systems in any future water wells if the presence of a nematocide commonly known as DBCP exceeds specified levels, and for the ongoing maintenance and operating cost for filtration systems on existing and future wells. The Company estimated its share of the cost to operate and maintain the filtration systems for the existing wells and its share of the cost of a letter of credit used to secure its obligations, and recorded a liability of $250,000 in 1999. The Company recognized an additional liability and expense of $3,000 in 2007 and 2006 and $48,000 in 2005; and paid $238,000 in 2005 for its share of the capital costs to install a filtration system for an existing well. The Company is presently not aware of any plans by the County of Maui to install other filtration systems or to drill any water wells in areas affected by agricultural chemicals. Accordingly, a reserve for costs relating to any future wells has not been recorded because the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount of liability (if any).

        Pursuant to loan agreements of certain equity investments, the Company and the other members of the respective joint ventures have guaranteed to lenders each investors pro rata share of costs and losses that may be incurred by the lender as a result of the occurrence of specified triggering events. These guarantees do not include full payment of the loans. At December 31, 2007, the Company has recognized liabilities of $1,061,000 representing the estimated fair value of its obligations under these agreements (see Note 4).

        In addition to the matters noted above, there are various other claims and legal actions pending against the Company. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the resolution of these other matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

        The Company, as an investor in various affiliates (partnerships, limited liability companies), may under specific circumstances be called upon to make additional capital contributions.

        The Company has a contractual obligation to the LPGA to sponsor an annual 72-hole stroke play golf tournament for five years beginning in October 2008. The cost of such a tournament, including the production and the purse is significant and the Company is currently seeking a title sponsor to defray part of the cost.

        At December 31, 2007, the Company had commitments under signed contracts totaling $17,704,000 which primarily relate to real estate development projects.

19. PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF COMMON STOCK

        In March 2007, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two accredited investors, Ohana Holdings, LLC and ZG Ventures, LLC, pursuant to which the Company raised approximately $14,900,000 in net proceeds through a private placement of 517,242 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $29.00 per share. Miles R. Gilburne, who was elected to the Company's Board of Directors in May 2007, is the managing member of ZG Ventures, LLC.

        In connection with the issuance of the common stock, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the investors obligating the Company to register for resale the shares on a registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within one year, subject to the exceptions set forth therein. The investors have also been granted "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to the shares.

        None.


Item 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

        Based upon the foregoing, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

        The report of the Company's management on the Company's internal control over financial reporting follows this Item 9A.

        There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal fourth quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

        The Management of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") has the responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) and 15d- 15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company's board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

69


        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting only provides reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement presentation and preparation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, Management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessments, Management believes that, as of December 31, 2007, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has issued an audit report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. That report appears on page 35 of this Form 10-K.

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

        Management is also responsible for preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes accurately and objectively. The statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and necessarily include amounts based on judgments and estimates made by Management. Management also prepared the other information in this Form 10-K and is responsible for its accuracy and consistency with the consolidated financial statements.

        The Company's consolidated financial statements have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP and its report appears on page 35 of this Form 10-K. Management has made available to Deloitte & Touche LLP all of the Company's financial records and related data. Furthermore, Management believes that all representations made to Deloitte & Touche LLP during its audit were valid and appropriate.

        The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee (composed solely of independent directors), oversees Management's responsibilities in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee appoints the independent registered public accounting firm, subject to shareholder ratification. The Audit Committee meets regularly with the external and internal auditors to evaluate the effectiveness of their work in discharging their respective responsibilities and to assure their independent and free access to the Committee.
