NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(UNAUDITED)

 

1.                                      Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information that are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 promulgated by Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes to financial statements required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

 

LIQUIDITY

 

At June 30, 2010 the Company had $1.3 million in cash and cash equivalents.  The Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of $8.5 million and had negative cash flows from operations of $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Reflected in the negative cash flow from operations was $5.5 million of income taxes refunded in the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The Company had an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $68.5 million and had a stockholders’ deficiency of $83.3 million at June 30, 2010.

 

At June 30, 2010 the Company had $100.2 million of total debt including capital leases.  The Company has pledged a significant portion of its real estate holdings as security for borrowings under its credit facilities.  In addition, both of the revolving lines of credit have financial covenants requiring among other things, a minimum of $8 million in liquidity and a limitation on new indebtedness.  Failure to satisfy the minimum liquidity covenants or to otherwise default under one credit agreement could result in a default under both credit agreements as well as a default under the $40 million senior secured convertible notes, which notes were redeemed by the Company in full as of August 3, 2010. Defaults under the credit agreements could result in all outstanding borrowings becoming immediately due and payable.

 

The Company’s cash outlook for the next twelve months and its ability to make the required debt repayments in March 2011 and to continue to meet its financial covenants is highly dependent on selling certain real estate assets in a difficult market and its ability to raise additional equity capital and to refinance its existing debt. If the Company is unable to meet its financial covenants resulting in the borrowings becoming immediately due, or is unable to restructure its credit agreements to extend the maturity date beyond March 2011, the Company would not have sufficient liquidity to repay such outstanding borrowings. In addition, the Company is subject to several commitments and contingencies that could negatively impact its future cash flows, including commitments related to its investment in Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC (Bay Holdings), its ongoing dispute with the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA), and a legal dispute with a former grower related to the Company’s discontinued agricultural operations.  These matters are further described in Note 17.

 

The aforementioned circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully achieve its initiatives discussed below in order to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In response to these circumstances, the Company continues to undertake several financial and strategic initiatives to reduce cash commitments, to generate cash flow from a variety of sources and to further reduce its debt, including the sale of several real estate assets.  The Company is actively working with its lenders to extend the maturity dates and modify other terms of its credit agreements.

 

In the first half of 2010, the Company concluded the sales of a 128-acre parcel and a two acre parcel that included its former administrative office building resulting in total cash proceeds (net of selling costs) of $3.3 million.

Table of Contents

 

In May, 2010, the Company’s shareholders authorized an additional 20 million shares of the Company’s common stock; and in June 2010, the Company initiated a rights offering for up to $40 million of its common stock with the intent to utilize the proceeds from the offering to repurchase up to all of its $40 million of outstanding senior secured convertible notes.

 

On July 29, 2010, the rights offering concluded and the Company received gross subscription proceeds of $40 million and issued 10,389,610 shares of common stock.  As of August 3, 2010, the Company repurchased all $40 million of its outstanding senior secured convertible notes for $35.2 million (see Note 6).

 

2.                                      Use of Estimates

 

The Company’s reports for interim periods utilize numerous estimates of general and administrative expenses and other costs for the full year. Future actual amounts may differ from the estimates. Amounts in the interim reports are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

 

3.                                      Inventories

 

Inventories as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) 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 share-based compensation arrangements had been issued.

 

Potentially dilutive shares arise from non-qualified stock options to purchase common stock, non-vested restricted stock and common stock issuable upon assumed conversion of convertible debt. The treasury stock method is applied to determine the number of potentially dilutive shares for nonvested restricted stock and stock options assuming 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. Convertible debt is assumed to be converted by applying the if-converted method. These amounts were excluded for all periods presented because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

In November 2007, the Company entered into a $90 million revolving line of credit secured by approximately 1,437 acres of the Company’s West Maui land. All outstanding principal and accrued interest was scheduled to be due on November 13, 2009. In March 2009, the Company sold the Plantation Golf Course (PGC) for $50 million (see Note 10), which was included in the collateral securing the line of credit agreement. In consideration for release of the PGC from the collateral, $45 million of the sales proceeds were applied to partially repay outstanding borrowings and the credit limit under this facility was reduced to $45 million. In conjunction with the PGC sale, the Company amended the line of credit agreement to extend the maturity date to March 13, 2010.

 

In October 2009, the line of credit agreement was amended and restated. The agreement principally increases the secured revolving line of credit from $45 million to $50 million, extends the maturity date of the credit agreement from March 2010 to March 2011, and re-sets financial covenants. As amended, the agreement provides that interest on loan draws accrue interest based on the LIBOR market index or applicable LIBOR rate, plus 4.25%, subject to a minimum interest rate of 5.5%. The financial covenants include a minimum liquidity (as defined in the agreement) of $8 million and maximum total liabilities of $240 million. There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolving facility and interest is due monthly. The line of credit agreement contains various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type.

 

The Company has a $25 million revolving loan that is secured by certain parcels of the Company’s real property on Maui that matures in March 2011 (as amended). Commitment fees of 0.40% are payable on the unused portion of the revolving facility. The financial covenants include a minimum liquidity (as defined in the agreement) of $8 million, maximum total liabilities of $240 million, and limitations on capital expenditures. As amended, the agreement provides that interest on loan draws accrue interest based on the LIBOR market index or applicable LIBOR rate, plus 4.25%, subject to a minimum interest rate of 5.5%.

 

On July 28, 2008, the Company concluded a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional accredited investors and issued an aggregate of $40 million in principal amount of senior secured convertible notes (the “convertible notes”), bearing 5.875% interest per annum payable quarterly in cash in arrears.  The convertible notes were convertible, at any time following their issuance, into shares of common stock of the Company at an initial conversion price of $33.50 per share, which is equal to an initial conversion rate of 29.8507 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes. On the third anniversary of the closing, each holder of the convertible notes had the right to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of such convertible note at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the convertible note being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.  The convertible notes were redeemed in full as of August 3, 2010 (see Note 6).

 

6.                                      Rights Offering

 

In June 2010, the Company initiated a rights offering for up to $40 million of its common stock with the intent to utilize the proceeds from the offering to repurchase up to all of its $40 million of outstanding senior secured convertible notes. In accordance with the terms of the offering, each shareholder received one non-transferable subscription right for each share of common stock owned as of the close of business on July 7, 2010, the record date. Each subscription right entitled the shareholder to purchase approximately 1.23 shares of common stock at a subscription price of $3.85 per share. Shareholders who fully exercised all of their initial subscription rights were entitled to purchase any unsubscribed shares at the same subscription price per share, on a pro rata basis.

 

In conjunction with the rights offering, the Company entered into agreements with holders of its senior secured convertible notes to repurchase their notes at 88% of face value. The Company also paid to these holders a lock-up fee of 2% of face value in exchange for their agreement not to transfer their Notes for a 47-day period. In the event the Company did not raise sufficient capital through the rights offering to retire the notes or was unable to complete the rights offering in the 47-day period, the Company would forgo the 2% lock-up fee. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had entered into agreements to repurchase $32.5 million of the notes.

 

The rights offering concluded on July 29, 2010 and the Company received gross subscription proceeds of $40 million and issued 10,389,610 shares of common stock. As of August 3, 2010, the Company repurchased all $40 million of its outstanding senior secured convertible notes for $35.2 million.

 

7.                                      Discontinued Operations

 

The Company ceased all operations in its Agriculture segment as of the end of 2009. The Company’s Agriculture segment operating results and the loss on sale of the assets are reported as discontinued operations and prior period operating results have been reclassified for comparability.  Income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30,

8.                                      Impairment Charges

 

In the second quarter of 2009, the Company wrote off $14.2 million of deferred development costs. Due to changing market conditions, several project development plans were written off because the projects as designed were no longer feasible. In addition, projects that were no longer compatible with the Company’s future real estate development expectations were abandoned and all related predevelopment costs were written off.  Also in the second quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a charge of $1.9 million representing the adjustment of its real estate held for sale to its estimated fair value less cost to sell. The impairment related to the Company’s Kahului property on which improvements for the fresh fruit processing plant were constructed and the impairment charge is recorded in discontinued operations.

 

9.                                      Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance to revise the approach to determine when a variable interest entity (VIE) should be consolidated.  The new consolidation model for VIEs considers whether the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and shares in the significant risks and rewards of the entity.  The guidance requires companies to continually reassess VIEs to determine if consolidation is appropriate and provide additional disclosures.  The guidance was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not currently have any VIEs.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to improve disclosures about fair value measurements.  The Company must provide additional disclosures regarding transfers in and out of levels 1 and 2, and activity in level 3 fair value measurements.  The guidance also provides clarification regarding levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either level 2 or level 3.  The additional disclosure requirements were effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010, except for the additional disclosures regarding the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which will be effective January 1, 2011.

 

10.                               Assets Held for Sale and Real Estate Sales

 

At June 30, 2010, assets held for sale included the Company’s property in Kahului, Maui (25 acres).  These assets include the site of the former corporate office and the former agriculture processing facilities.  In April 2010, the Company sold the land and building that was previously its administrative offices in Kahului, Maui and recognized a gain of $1.0 million, which is included in general and administrative expenses.

 

In March 2010, the Company sold real estate land inventory and recognized revenues of $1.7 million and pre-tax profit of $1.5 million.

 

In March 2009, the Company sold the land, improvements, structures and fixtures comprising the Plantation Golf Course (PGC) for $50 million in cash. Concurrent with the closing of the sale, the Company entered into an agreement (Ground Lease) to leaseback the PGC for an initial period of two years for an annual net rental payment of $4 million, payable monthly in advance. The Ground Lease requires the Company to replace the irrigation system at the PGC at its own cost and expense, subject to a cap of $5 million. Because of the Company’s continuing involvement associated with the obligation to replace the irrigation system, the sale and leaseback of the PGC has been accounted for as a financing transaction and, accordingly, the net proceeds received have been recorded as a non-current liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and no gain will be recognized until the irrigation system replacement project has been completed. Expected date of completion is September 2010.

11.                               Investments in Affiliates

 

KAPALUA BAY HOLDINGS, LLC

 

As a result of the 2009 losses incurred by Bay Holdings, the Company’s carrying value of its investment in Bay Holdings and its $3.6 million loan due from Bay Holdings were written down to zero in 2009. The Company does not expect to recover any amounts from its investment in Bay Holdings, has recorded its estimated share of its completion and recourse guarantees for its potential estimated liability and it has no further obligation to fund losses. The Company will not recognize any additional equity in the earnings (losses) of Bay Holdings until the Company’s income attributable to Bay Holdings exceeds its accumulated losses.  The Company had made cash contributions to Bay Holdings of $53.2 million and an uncollateralized loan of $3.6 million that accrued interest at 16%.

 

In June 2009, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $21.3 million to reflect what management believed to be an impairment in the carrying value of its investment in Bay Holdings.  In September 2009, Bay Holdings recorded impairment charges totaling $208.8 million to reflect an impairment of the carrying value of its real estate inventories (whole and fractional condominium units) held for sale; and for the year 2009, Bay Holdings incurred total losses of $256.2 million.  The impairment charges reflected higher default rates on actual whole and fractional unit closings than was anticipated once construction was completed in June 2009, and also reflect a change in forecasted sales revenue on the unsold whole and fractional units that substantially reduces expected margins for those remaining units.

 

Construction of the six residential buildings comprised of 146 residences was complete by year-end 2009, however, the Company’s and the other members’ completion guaranty to the lenders will remain in place until the cost for all construction work has been settled and paid. The Company has no funding commitments relating to Bay Holdings beyond this amount.

 

Pursuant to previous agreements, the Company has a commitment to purchase the spa, beach club improvements and the sundry store (the “Amenities”) from Bay Holdings at actual construction costs of approximately $35 million.  The Company is in discussions with the other members of Bay Holdings to negotiate the terms of the purchase agreement including the purchase price and payment terms, and is discussing whether the Company will even be required to purchase the Amenities.

 

In July 2006, Bay Holdings entered into a syndicated construction 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. Lehman’s commitment under the loan agreement was approximately 78% of the total. The loan was collateralized by the project assets, including the fee simple interest in the land owned by Bay Holdings, the adjacent spa parcel owned by the Company, and all of the sales contracts. On September 15, 2008, Lehman filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court, and on February 11, 2009, Bay Holdings, Lehman, other lenders under the loan agreement, Swedbank and MH Kapalua Venture, LLC, an affiliate of Marriott, entered into an Amended and Restated Construction Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the amended loan agreement, the aggregate amount that Bay Holdings could borrow, including amounts previously funded under the amended loan agreement was approximately $354.5 million. In December 2009, Bay Holdings further amended the amended loan agreement to extend the maturity date of the principal payment of $45.7 million that was previously due in February 2010 to December 2010. Bay Holdings’ failure to repay amounts when due could result in all of its outstanding borrowings under the amended loan agreement becoming immediately due and payable. Bay Holdings’ ability to make the December 2010 debt payment as scheduled is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from fractional and whole unit closings. Bay Holdings is currently in negotiations with the lenders to restructure the terms of the amended loan agreement to provide available funding until the project is completely sold out.

Negative revenues and expense resulted from increasing the allowance for defaults, as sales of the pre-sold units were previously recognized on the percentage-of-completion method.

 

12.                               Share-Based Compensation

 

The total compensation expense recognized for share-based compensation was $428,000 and $969,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $182,000 and $755,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The total tax benefit (expense) related thereto was $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Subsequent to issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ending June 30, 2009, management determined that the $272,000 and $379,000 previously reported as the total tax benefit related to share-based compensation for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2009 were incorrect.  Accordingly, the total tax benefit has been restated to $-0- for these periods. Recognized stock compensation was reduced for estimated forfeitures prior to vesting primarily based on historical annual forfeiture rates of approximately 4.3% and 3.6%, as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Estimated forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances.

In January 2010, the Company terminated its postretirement life insurance plan and recorded a settlement gain of $2.7 million of which $2.3 million was recorded to discontinued operations and $345,000 was recorded as a credit to general and administrative expense.  In February 2010, the Company terminated its postretirement medical coverage for non-bargaining retirees and recorded a curtailment gain of $576,000 as a credit to general and administrative expense.

 

In 2010, minimum required contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans are expected to be $1.7 million. To date in 2010, the Company has made pension plan contributions totaling $992,000 and has failed to pay a 2010 plan year quarterly contribution of approximately $394,000.  On June 25, 2010, the Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010 (the “2010 Relief Act”) was signed into law.  The Company’s expected plan contributions in 2010 includes the deferral of pension plan contributions provided for by the 2010 Relief Act with regard to plan years 2009 and 2010.  The Company will be required to pay interest to the pension plans for all contributions that have been deferred. The Company expects to contribute $190,000 to its other post-retirement benefit plans in 2010.

 

14.                               Fair Value Measurements

 

In its ongoing business operations, the Company’s primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is due to changes in interest rates. The Company manages this risk by monitoring interest rates and future cash requirements and evaluating opportunities to refinance borrowings at various maturities and interest rates. The Company also utilizes interest rate swaps or other derivatives to reduce risks associated with changes in interest rates.

 

GAAP requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

In July 2008, the Company issued $40 million in senior secured notes that are convertible into the Company’s common stock. The conversion features related to the notes gave rise to a derivative liability carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized currently in interest expense.

 

In January 2008, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to reduce future cash flow variability for approximately two years on $55 million of variable rate debt. The effect of the agreements was to convert variable-rate interest, which was previously tied to 1-, 2-, 3- and 6-month LIBOR terms, to an average fixed-rate interest of approximately 2.9%, before applicable interest rate spreads. The transactions were not designated as hedges, and, accordingly, the gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value from these interest rate swaps were recognized currently in interest expense. The interest rate swap agreements expired in January 2010.

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

 

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 June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $99,522,000 and $94,224,000, respectively, and the fair value was $97,971,000 and $94,312,000, respectively.

 

15.                               Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate for 2010 and 2009 reflects the recognition of expected federal alternative minimum tax liabilities and interim period tax benefits and changes to the tax valuation allowance.

 

The Company uses 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. Interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits is recognized as interest expense and penalties are recognized in general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations; and such amounts are included in income taxes payable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

 

At June 30, 2010, the Company had a liability of $984,000 for unrecognized tax benefits and interest thereon of $1.7 million. At June 30, 2010, $13.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits represented 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.

17.                               Commitments and Contingencies

 

LPGA

 

The Company had a contractual obligation to the LPGA to sponsor an annual 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 was seeking a title sponsor to defray part of the cost. In June 2009, the Company announced that due to a lack of a title sponsor, it was unable to hold the 2009 LPGA event that was scheduled for October. This has resulted in a dispute with the LPGA, which can be resolved by mediation and if necessary by binding arbitration. By agreement between the parties, mediation has been suspended through November 2010 and, in March 2010, the Company paid $700,000 to the LPGA of which 50% will be applied towards sponsorship of an event if the parties are able to structure a future event. The Company is not able to estimate the losses that may be incurred if the Company is not able to further perform under the agreement and, accordingly, no additional provision for losses relating to this dispute has been recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. An unfavorable judgment against the Company could have a material negative impact to the Company’s financial condition including its ability to comply with its debt covenants.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

The Company has various unsettled contractual obligations with regard to its now terminated Agriculture segment operations and has recorded its best estimate of the potential loss of $3.5 million, which is included in other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010.

 

On September 1, 2009, M. Yamamura and Sons, Inc. (Yamamura) filed a lawsuit against the Company, which alleges that the Company materially breached its planting agreement with Yamamura by not providing a planting schedule for 2009 and by asking Yamamura to cease planting pineapple for the Company until further notice. The lawsuit further alleges that the Company unilaterally restricted and impaired the value of Yamamura’s benefits under the Planting Agreement. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit, but has recorded an immaterial amount as the low end of the range of its estimate of the potential exposure under the lawsuit.

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 $262,000 since 1999; and paid $368,000 for its share of the cost of the letter of credit securing its obligation and the capital costs to install a filtration system for an existing well. In March 2010, the Company was advised by the County of Maui that it intends to drill an exploratory water well on State of Hawaii lands that are directly above property that the Company previously used to plant pineapple.  Management believes that the potential for contamination is low because the proposed well site is above the land where agricultural chemicals were used.  Accordingly, a reserve for costs relating to the future well has not been recorded because the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount of its estimated potential liability (if any).

 

Investments in Affiliates

 

Pursuant to a previous agreement, the Company was committed to purchase from Bay Holdings certain Amenities (see Note 11) upon their completion in 2009 at the actual construction cost of approximately $35 million. The Company is currently in discussions with the other members of Bay Holdings to negotiate the terms of the purchase agreement including the purchase and payment terms, and is discussing whether the Company will even be required to purchase the Amenities.

 

Pursuant to loan agreements of certain equity investments, the Company and the other members of the respective joint ventures have guaranteed to lenders each investor’s 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 June 30, 2010, the Company has recognized the estimated fair value of its obligations under these agreements.

 

Other

 

In connection with the PGC sale and leaseback, the Company is obligated to replace the irrigation system prior to the end of the two-year leaseback term or March 2011. The replacement costs are capped at $5 million under the terms of the agreement.  The Company has incurred approximately $3 million of replacement costs through June 30, 2010 and expects to incur an additional $600,000 to finish the project by the September 2010 expected completion date (see Note 10).

 

In connection with a Honolua Ridge Phase II lot sale in 2007, the Company deferred the recognition of $4.3 million of revenues because of contingencies that could result in the Company becoming obligated to repurchase the lot from the buyer. The buy-back provision will expire in November 2010.

 

In February 2010, the Company received notification from the Internal Revenue Service proposing changes to the Company’s employment tax withholdings. The Company currently does not expect the impact of the ultimate resolution of the matter to be material and has recorded an immaterial amount as the low end of the range of its estimated potential exposure.

 

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.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Depending upon the context, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” refers to either Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. alone, or the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

Overview of the Company

 

Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. is a Hawaii corporation and the successor to a business organized in 1909. We are a landholding company.  Our principal subsidiary is Kapalua Land Company, Ltd., the operator and developer of Kapalua Resort, a master-planned community in West Maui. Our reportable operating segments are Resort and Community Development.  In December 2009, all of our Agriculture segment operations were ceased and the segment is reported as discontinued operations.

 

Resort

 

The Kapalua Resort is part of approximately 21,800 acres owned by us in West Maui, most of which remains as open space. The Kapalua Resort borders the ocean with five white sand beaches and includes The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel, the Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences at Kapalua Bay, the Kapalua Spa, eight residential subdivisions, two championship golf courses (The Bay and The Plantation), a ten-court tennis facility, several restaurants, and over 800 condominiums, single-family homes and residential lots. We operate Kapalua Resort’s two golf courses, the tennis facility, and several retail shops. Prior to mid-December 2009, our Resort operations also included a vacation rental program (The Kapalua Villas) and Kapalua Adventures, which is comprised of zip-lines stretching over scenic ravines in the West Maui mountains, a high ropes challenge course, a climbing wall and other activities. In December 2009, we entered into agreements to transfer the operations of The Kapalua Villas and Kapalua Adventures operations to third parties, from which we receive lease and license income.

 

Community Development

 

The Community Development segment includes our real estate entitlement, development, construction, sales, leasing, and conservation activities. Our projects are focused primarily on the luxury real estate market in and surrounding the 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, our general brokerage real estate company located within the Resort, and Kapalua Water Company and Kapalua Waste Treatment Company, our Public Utilities Commission-regulated water and sewage operations that service the Kapalua Resort and adjacent communities.

 

The Community Development segment also includes our 51% equity interest in Bay Holdings, the limited liability company that purchased the Kapalua Bay Hotel in August 2004 (Note 11 to condensed consolidated financial statements). Bay Holdings demolished the Kapalua Bay Hotel and the adjacent shops in order to develop new whole and fractional residential units, an ocean-side spa, and a beach club at that location. Construction was substantially complete in June 2009 and includes 84 whole ownership units and 744 fractional units of which 23 whole ownership and 135 fractional units closed escrow through the end of the second quarter of 2010.

 

We have approximately 1,600 acres of land in Maui that are at various stages in the land entitlement process. We must obtain appropriate entitlements for land that we intend to develop or use for construction. Securing proper land entitlements is a process that requires obtaining county, state and federal approvals, which can take several years to complete, if completed at all, and entails a variety of risks.

 

At the end of 2008, we postponed the start of construction of new development projects until economic conditions improve. However, we expect to continue engaging in planning, permitting and entitlement activities for our development projects, and we intend to proceed with construction and sales of the following projects, among others, when internal and external factors permit:

 

·                  Kapalua Mauka:  As presently planned, this project is comprised of 640 single and multi-family residential units and commercial components, five acres of commercial space and up to 27 holes of golf on a total of 800 acres.

 

·                  The Village at Kapalua:  This is the commercial component of the central area of the Kapalua Resort. It is planned to be built in two phases and will add approximately 30,000 square feet of new commercial/retail space to the Kapalua Resort.

 

19



Table of Contents

 

The Village will also include apartments, condominiums and other resort-related facilities. The first phase of the commercial component opened in 2006, which included approximately 12,000 square feet of commercial/retail space.

 

·                  Pulelehua:  This project is designed to be a new traditional community for working families in West Maui. It encompasses 312 acres and is currently planned to include 13 acres for an elementary school, 882 dwelling units, 91 acres of usable open space, and a traditional village center with a mix of residential and neighborhood-serving commercial uses. We are currently in the process of securing a hearing for the project with the Maui County Council Land Use Committee.

 

·                  Hali`imaile Town:  This project is contemplated to be a new town in Upcountry Maui, a holistic traditional community with agriculture, education, and sustainability as core design elements. Community design workshops were held to involve the Maui community in determining the vision for this community. The public approval process for any plan to develop this area is expected to take several years and will be subject to urban growth boundary determination by the County of Maui as it updates the County General Plan over the next year.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

The Agriculture segment primarily included growing, packing, and marketing of fresh pineapple. Our pineapple was sold under the brand names Maui Gold® and Hawaiian Gold™.  We also grew and marketed fresh organic pineapple. On December 31, 2009, we ceased all agriculture operations and we entered into agreements with an unrelated party that began to grow and market Maui Gold® pineapple as of January 1, 2010. We will receive royalty payments based upon sales volume from such third parties, which amounts are expected to be immaterial.

 

Current Developments

 

For the second quarter of 2010, we reported a net loss of $4.6 million and for the first six months of 2010, we reported a net loss of $7.3 million.  Cash used in operating activities for the first six months of 2010 was $2.1 million and includes the receipt of $5.5 million in tax refunds.  These results reflect improved operating performance and overhead cost reductions, and $3.4 million of gains due to the termination of certain post-retirement benefits.  In December 2009, we ceased our pineapple operations, as well as our Kapalua Villas, Kapalua Adventures, security and shuttle operations.

 

·                    In April 2010, John P. Durkin resigned and Tim T. Esaki was appointed to fill the position of Chief Financial Officer.

 

·                    At our Annual Meeting in May 2010, our shareholders voted to reduce the size of and to declassify our Board of Directors.  Stephen M. Case, Walter H. Haruki, David A. Heenan, Kent T. Lucien, Duncan MacNaughton, Arthur C. Tokin and Fred E. Trotter III were elected to our board for a one-year term.  The shareholders also voted to authorize an additional 20,000,000 shares of MLP common stock.

 

·                    On June 30, 2010, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a final prospectus for the distribution to our shareholders of subscription rights to purchase up to 10,389,610 shares of our common stock at $3.85 per share.  The rights offering expired on July 29, 2010 and resulted in gross proceeds of $40 million, of which $35.2 million was used to repay $40 million of senior secured convertible notes.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of accounting estimates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Our critical accounting policies that require the use of estimates and assumptions were discussed in detail in our most recently filed Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the first six months of 2010.

 

There are no other accounting pronouncements or interpretations that have been issued but not yet applied by us that we believe will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We reported a net loss of $4.6 million ($0.57 per share) for the second quarter of 2010 compared to a net loss of $54.2 million ($6.75 per share) for the second quarter of 2009. The loss for the second quarter of 2009 included a charge of $21.3 million for the decrease in value of our investment in Bay Holdings; charges of $14.2 million for the write off of development plans that are no longer considered feasible due to changes in market conditions; and a charge of $1.9 million representing an adjustment to estimated fair value less cost to sell of certain real estate that we have classified as held for sale (included in loss from discontinued operations).

 

General and Administrative

 

Consolidated general and administrative expenses were $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2009.

 

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

The reduction in pension and other post retirement expense was due to the non-bargaining unit pension plan being frozen at the end of 2009, the postretirement health benefit for non-bargaining retirees being terminated in February 2010, and the postretirement life insurance plan for retirees being terminated in January 2010.

 

The decrease in salaries, wages, and stock compensation expense reflect staffing reductions and attrition in all operating segments and in corporate services.  As of June 30, 2010, we had 220 employees compared to 647 employees as of June 2009.  Severance expense in the second quarter of 2009 includes amounts related to the termination of our former President and Chief Executive Officer in May 2009.

 

Gain on asset disposal in 2010 includes the gain of $1.0 million from the sale of our former administrative offices in Kahului, Maui.  Loss on disposal of assets for 2009 includes a charge of $1.9 million for the settlement payment and forfeiture of a deposit where we were obligated to purchase certain real estate at Kapalua Resort.

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 evaluation of services provided to the operating segments.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2009.  Included in interest expense for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009 are net charges of $206,000 and $736,000, respectively, representing the change in the estimated fair value of the derivative liability that was bifurcated from the $40 million convertible notes, plus accretion on the carrying value of the notes. Also included in interest expense is a credit of $258,000 for the second quarter of 2009, representing the change in fair value of certain interest rate swap agreements.  These swap agreements expired in January 2010.  In the second quarter of 2010 our average borrowings were approximately $900,000 lower than the second quarter of 2009. Our effective interest rate on borrowings was 5.7% in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 6.5% in the second quarter of 2009.

Resort segment revenues decreased from $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2009 to $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2010, or 19%, primarily reflecting the absence of revenues from The Kapalua Villas and Kapalua Adventures in 2010 as these operations were leased to third parties to operate in December 2009.  We are now receiving lease and license income related to these operations that is reflected in the Community Development segment results.  Partially offsetting the decrease in Resort operations revenues from The Kapalua Villas and Kapalua Adventures was an increase in revenues from our golf operations and from the Kapalua Spa.  The Kapalua Spa began operating in July 2009. The Resort segment reported an operating loss of $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2010, compared to an operating loss of $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2009. The improved results reflect better results from our golf and spa operations and general cost reductions throughout the Resort segment operations.  The results reported by the Company’s operating segments include allocations of corporate and administrative overhead charges.  Visitor counts to Maui for the second quarter of 2010 increased over the same period a year ago, which also contributed to the improved results.

 

Golf and Retail

 

Revenues from golf operations increased by approximately 4% in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009, primarily from a 6% increase in paid rounds of golf partially offset by a 3% decrease in average greens and cart fees per paid round. Resort retail sales for the second quarter of 2010 were approximately 13% lower than the second quarter of 2009, primarily reflecting the reduced spending by guests and a reduction in retail and food and beverage space with the closure of the Kapalua Adventures retail and café in December 2009 and the closure of our tennis retail area in November 2009.

The Community Development segment reported an operating loss of $70,000 for the second quarter of 2010 compared to an operating loss of $41.0 million for the second quarter of 2009. Revenues from this operating segment were $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2009. Increased revenues reflect lease and license agreements that were put in place in December 2009 and increased commission income from the sale of real estate.  The operating loss for the second quarter of 2009 included a charge of $21.3 million representing impairment of our investment in Bay Holdings and a charge of $14.2 million for the write off of project development plans that were no longer feasible as designed due to changing market conditions. In 2010, we did not recognize any additional losses from this investment as the carrying value of our investment and our loan to Bay Holdings have been written down to zero and we have no further obligation to fund losses (Note 11 to condensed consolidated financial statements).

We reported a net loss of $7.3 million ($0.90 per share) for the first six months of 2010 compared to a net loss of $67.4 million ($8.40 per share) for the first six months of 2009.  Net loss for the first six months of 2010 includes a credit of $3.4 million representing the gain recognized from the curtailment of our postretirement medical plan and settlement of our postretirement life insurance plan (Note 13 to condensed consolidated financial statements) and pre-tax profits of $2.5 million from the sale of real estate inventory and our former administrative offices in Kahului.  The loss for the first six months of 2009 reflects charges totaling $24.4 million attributable to our investment in Bay Holdings, including an impairment charge of $21.3 million in June 2009 due to an other-than-temporary decrease in value of our investment; a charge of $14.2 million for the write off of development plans that are no longer considered feasible because of changing market conditions; and a $1.9 million impairment charge to real estate held for sale (included in loss from discontinued operations).

In the first six months of 2010, we recognized a credit of $3.4 million that primarily represented the curtailment and settlement gains as a result of the termination of our postretirement life insurance plan for all retirees and elimination of retiree medical insurance benefits for non-bargaining retirees; $2.3 million of the settlement gain for the termination of the life insurance plan was credited to discontinued operations. In addition, our non-bargaining pension plan was frozen as of January 1, 2010, so there was no service cost accrued for this plan in 2010 (Note 13 to condensed consolidated financial statements).

 

The decrease in salaries, wages, and stock compensation expense reflect staffing reductions and attrition in all operating segments and in corporate services.  Staff reductions took place throughout 2009, and further attrition continued in 2010.  As of June 30, 2010, we had 220 employees compared to 647 employees as of June 2009. Severance expense in the first six months of 2009 was due to the termination of approximately 100 employees from our work force in March and severance related to the termination of our former President and Chief Executive Officer in May 2009.

 

The decrease in professional and other services reflects a reduction in use of outside consultants.

 

Gain on asset disposal in 2010 includes the gain of $1.0 million from the sale of our former administrative offices in Kahului, Maui.  Loss on disposal of assets for 2009 includes a charge of $1.9 million for the settlement payment and forfeiture of a deposit where we were obligated to purchase certain real estate at Kapalua Resort.

 

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 evaluation of services provided to the operating segments.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $5.9 million for the first six months of 2010 compared to $4.5 million for the first six months of 2009.  Included in interest expense for the first six months of 2010 and 2009 are net charges of $1,223,000 and $119,000, respectively, representing the decrease in the estimated fair value of the derivative liability that was bifurcated from the $40 million convertible notes, plus accretion on the carrying value of the notes. Also included in interest expense are credits of $63,000 and $487,000 for the first six months of 2010 and 2009, respectively, representing the change in fair value of certain interest rate swap agreements.  These swap agreements expired in January 2010.  In the first six months of 2010 our average borrowings were approximately $9.8 million lower than the first six months of 2009. Our effective interest rate on borrowings was 5.8% in the first six months of 2010 compared to 5.6% in the first six months of 2009.

Resort segment revenues decreased from $15.3 million in the first six months of 2009 to $12.3 million for the first six months of 2010, or 20%, reflecting the absence of revenues from The Kapalua Villas and Kapalua Adventures in 2010 as these operations were leased to third parties to operate in December 2009. We are now receiving lease and license income related to these operations that is reflected in the Community Development segment results. Increase in revenues from our golf operations and from the Kapalua Spa partially offset reductions from the operations that we no longer operate. The Resort segment reported an operating loss of $5.2 million for the first six months of 2010, compared to an operating loss of $8.8 million for the first six months of 2009. The improved results reflect better results from our golf and spa operations and general cost reductions throughout the Resort segment operations.  The results reported by the Company’s operating segments include allocations of corporate and administrative overhead charges.  Visitor counts to Maui for the first six months of 2010 increased over the same period a year ago, which also contributed to the improved results.

 

Golf and Retail

 

Revenues from golf operations increased by approximately 7% in the first six months of 2010 compared to the first six months of 2009, primarily from an 8% increase in paid rounds of golf partially offset by a 3% decrease in average greens and cart fees per paid round. Resort retail sales for the first six months of 2010 were approximately 14% lower than the first six months of 2009, primarily reflecting the reduced spending by guests and a reduction in retail and food and beverage space with the closure of the Kapalua Adventures retail area and café in December 2009 and the closure of our tennis retail area in November 2009.

The Community Development segment reported an operating profit of $736,000 for the first six months of 2010 compared to an operating loss of $44.2 million for the first six months of 2009. Revenues from this operating segment were $6.6 million for the first six months of 2010 compared to $3.8 million for the first six months of 2009.  Increased revenues reflect lease and license agreements that were put in place in December 2009 and increased commission income from the sale of real estate. The operating loss for the first six months of 2009 included a charge of $21.3 million representing impairment of our investment in Bay Holdings and a charge of $14.2 million for the write off of project development plans that were no longer feasible as designed due to changing market conditions. In 2010, we did not recognize any additional losses from this investment as the carrying value of our investment and our loan to Bay Holdings have been written down to zero and we have no further obligation to fund losses (Note 11 to condensed consolidated financial statements).

 

Real Estate Sales

 

In the first six months of 2010, we sold approximately 128 acres of land in Upcountry Maui and recognized revenues of $1.7 million and pre-tax profit of approximately $1.5 million.  There were no real estate sales in the first six months of 2009.

As of the end of 2009, we ceased all of our agricultural operations (Note 7 to condensed consolidated financial statements) and we are reporting these operating results as discontinued operations with prior period amounts restated for comparability.  Income from discontinued operations for the first six months of 2010 includes a credit of $2.3 million representing the pineapple operations gain from terminating our postretirement life insurance plan in January 2010 (Note 13 to condensed consolidated financial statements).

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Debt Position

 

At June 30, 2010, our total debt, including capital leases, was $100.2 million, compared to $96.6 million at December 31, 2009. The increase in outstanding debt in the first six months of 2010 was primarily due to expenditures related to (1) our $40 million rights offering that was mailed to the shareholders in early July and (2) note purchase agreements with certain holders of our senior secured convertible notes.  In addition, negative net cash flows from operating activities of $2.1 million and accretion on the carrying value of our senior secured convertible notes contributed to the increased debt balance. At June 30, 2010, we had approximately $10.4 million available under existing lines of credit and $1.3 million in cash and cash equivalents; an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $68.5 million, and a deficiency in stockholders’ equity (total liabilities exceeded total assets) of $83.3 million.

 

Included in current liabilities are $63.5 million of borrowings outstanding under agreements that are scheduled to mature in March 2011, with financial covenants requiring among other things, a minimum of $8 million in liquidity and a limitation on new indebtedness.  In addition, as of June 30, 2010, we had $40 million of outstanding convertible notes, which notes we redeemed in full as of August 3, 2010.  Failure to satisfy the minimum liquidity covenants or to otherwise default under one credit agreement could result in a default under both credit agreements. Defaults under the credit agreements could result in all outstanding borrowings becoming immediately due and payable.

 

Liquidity

 

Our cash outlook for the next twelve months and our ability to make the required debt repayment in March 2011 and to continue to meet our financial covenants is highly dependent on selling certain real estate assets in a difficult market, our ability to raise additional equity capital and to refinance our existing debt. If we are unable to meet our financial covenants resulting in the borrowings becoming immediately due, or are unable to restructure our credit agreements to extend the maturity date beyond March 2011, we would not have sufficient liquidity to repay such outstanding borrowings. In addition, we have a commitment to purchase the spa, beach club improvements and the sundry store, referred to as the Amenities, from Bay Holdings at actual construction costs of approximately $35 million. We do not currently have the cash resources to complete the purchase.  We are in discussions with the other members of Bay Holdings to negotiate the terms of the purchase agreement including the purchase price and payment terms, and are discussing whether we will even be required to purchase the Amenities.  In June 2009, we announced that due to a lack of a title sponsor, we were unable to hold the 2009 LPGA event that was scheduled for October. This has resulted in a dispute with the LPGA, which can be resolved by mediation and if necessary by binding arbitration. By agreement between the parties, mediation has been suspended through November 2010 and we paid $700,000 of which 50% will be applied towards sponsorship of an event if the parties are able to structure a future event. In addition, in September 2009, Yamamura filed a lawsuit against us alleging that we materially breached the Maui Gold Pineapple Planting and Fruit Purchase Agreement by not providing a planting schedule for 2009 and by asking Yamamura to cease planting pineapple for us, and that we unilaterally restricted and impaired the value of Yamamura’s benefits under the agreement. We are also subject to other commitments and contingencies that could negatively impact our future cash flows.  These matters are further described in Note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.  These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully achieve our initiatives discussed below in order to continue as a going concern. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Table of Contents

 

In response to these circumstances, we continue to undertake several financial and strategic initiatives to reduce cash commitments and generate cash flow from a variety of sources, including the sale of several real estate assets.  In the first six months of 2010, we concluded the sale of two properties that resulted in total cash proceeds (net of selling costs) of $3.3 million. On July 29, 2010, our $40 million rights offering to issue up to 10,389,610 shares of common stock expired and we received gross subscription proceeds of $40 million. Pursuant to purchase agreements with holders of our senior secured convertible notes that held in the aggregate $40 million of the principal amount of these notes, as of August 3, 2010, we paid $35.2 million to redeem the notes. In addition, we have taken several other actions to reduce cash outflows, as well as measures to reduce operating expenses. In the February 2010, we terminated our postretirement medical insurance plan for non-bargaining retirees and in January we increased the percentage of medical insurance that active employees are paying for current medical insurance coverage.  We also terminated our retiree life insurance plan in January 2010 in an effort to reduce our cash outflows. We are actively in the process of attempting to sell several selected real estate assets to provide additional liquidity and to further reduce debt.  In addition, we are working with our lenders to extend the maturity date of our credit agreements.

 

Amended Construction Loan Agreement Following Lehman Bankruptcy

 

In July 2006, Bay Holdings, in which we have a 51% interest, entered into a syndicated construction loan agreement with Lehman, for the lesser of $370 million or 61.6% of the total projected cost of the project. Lehman’s commitment under the loan agreement was approximately 78% of the total. On September 15, 2008, Lehman filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court. In February 2009, Bay Holdings entered into an amended and restated construction loan agreement with Lehman, Swedbank, MH Kapalua Venture, LLC, an affiliate of Marriott, and certain other syndicate lenders, pursuant to which Bay Holdings could borrow an aggregate of approximately $354.5 million, including amounts previously funded under the original construction loan agreement (Note 11 to condensed consolidated financial statements).

 

Revolving Line of Credit with American AgCredit, FLCA

 

In October 2009, we executed an amendment to our revolving line of credit agreement with American AgCredit, FLCA. The amendment extended the maturity of the loan from March 2010 to March 2011, reduced the minimum liquidity requirement from $10 million to $8 million, places limitations on new indebtedness and capital expenditures, requires that total liabilities be no greater than $240 million and increases the interest rate by 75 to 200 basis points, subject to a minimum interest rate of 5.5%. As of June 30, 2010, this $25 million line of credit was fully drawn.

 

Revolving Line of Credit with Wells Fargo and Certain Other Lenders

 

In October 2009, we executed a restated and amended revolving line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank and certain other lenders. The restated and amended credit agreement increased the amount of the revolving line from $45 million to $50 million, extended the maturity of the loan from March 2010 to March 2011, reduced the minimum liquidity requirement from $10 million to $8 million, requires that total liabilities be no greater than $240 million and limits additional indebtedness and capital expenditures.  Interest on outstanding amounts are at a LIBOR market index or the LIBOR rate, plus 4.25%.  As of June 30, 2010, we had $39.6 million outstanding or encumbered to secure letters of credit, and $10.4 million available under this line.

 

Private Placement of Convertible Notes

 

On July 28, 2008, we issued $40 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes, bearing 5.875% interest per annum payable quarterly in cash in arrears beginning October 15, 2008. As of June 30, 2010, we had $40.5 million in principal and accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the convertible notes.  As of August 3, 2010, we redeemed all of the outstanding senior secured convertible notes for $35.2 million.  We paid an additional aggregate sum of $800,000 in connection with entering into the purchase agreements to redeem the notes.

 

As of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our outstanding debt arrangements.

 

Operating Cash Flows

 

In the first six months of 2010, consolidated net cash used in operating activities was $2.1 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $15.1 million for the first six months of 2009. Operating cash flows for the first six months of 2010 included expenditures of $973,000 related to the extinguishment of our $40 million senior secured convertible notes. The improved cash flows from operating activities reflect improved operating performance, continued implementation of cost reduction measures in all of our operations, and income tax refunds of $5.5 million.  In addition, we sold 128 acres of land in the first six months of 2010 and received net cash proceeds of $1.5 million.

Table of Contents

 

Investing Cash Flows

 

Cash provided by investing activities in the first six months of 2010 include $1.7 million from the sale of our former administrative offices and the two acre parcel underlying those buildings, and $1.2 million from the sale of excess machinery and equipment.

 

Financing Cash Flows

 

In the first six months of 2009, financing cash flows included $48.5 million in cash received from the sale of the Plantation Course, which was accounted for as a financing transaction because of the leaseback arrangement and other continuing involvement with the property.  In addition, $51.2 million of long-term debt was repaid.

 

Future Cash Inflows and Outflows

 

Our plans for 2010 include the possible sale of certain operating and non-operating real estate assets.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any of our real estate assets.

 

On July 29, 2010, our $40 million rights offering expired generating $40 million of gross proceeds.  Pursuant to purchase agreements with holders of our senior secured convertible notes that held in the aggregate $40 million of principal amount of these notes, $35.2 million of proceeds were used to redeem the notes.  We plan to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes.

 

In 2010, minimum required contributions to our defined benefit pension plans are expected to be $1.7 million. We may defer contributions to our pension plans and to the extent that payments are deferred, we would be required to pay interest on all deferred amounts. To date in 2010, we have made $992,000 of contributions to our pension plans, but have failed to pay a quarterly contribution required for the 2010 plan year. Our net pension liability and minimum required contribution amounts are calculated based upon an assessment of several variables including employee compensation levels, employee turnover rates, the expected long term rate of return on investments, and other factors that are difficult to ascertain. Any significant changes in any one or more of these variables could materially affect our net pension liability and required minimum contributions. We expect to contribute $190,000 to our other post-retirement benefit plans in 2010.

 

In 2010, capital expenditures and expenditures for deferred development cost have been reduced, except for expenditures that are necessary to maintain our operations and standards of quality at the Kapalua Resort. Expenditures planned for 2010 total approximately $1.0 million, primarily for development entitlement work.

 

In connection with the PGC sale and leaseback, we are obligated to replace the irrigation system prior to the end of the two-year leaseback term (March 2011). The replacement costs are capped at $5 million under the terms of the agreement of which approximately $3 million have been incurred through June 30, 2010, and we expect to incur an additional $600,000 in order to complete this project. In addition, our annual net rental payment under the lease is $4.0 million.

 

We have a commitment to purchase the Amenities from Bay Holdings at actual construction costs of approximately $35 million. We are in discussions with the members of Bay Holdings to negotiate the terms of the purchase agreement including the purchase price and payment terms, and are discussing whether we will even be required to purchase the Amenities.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

 

Potential risks and uncertainties include, among other things, those factors discussed in the sections entitled “Business”, “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Readers should carefully review those risks, as well as additional risks described below and in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

 

If we do not meet the continued listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), our common stock may be delisted.

 

Our common stock is currently listed on the NYSE. On January 11, 2010 we received notification from the NYSE that we are no longer in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards because our average market capitalization was less than $50 million over a 30 trading-day period and our most recently reported shareholders’ equity was less than $50 million.

 

Under applicable NYSE procedures, we had 45 days from receipt of the notification to submit a plan to the NYSE to demonstrate our ability to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards within 18 months. We submitted such a plan to the NYSE on February 22, 2010 and the NYSE has accepted the plan. With acceptance of the plan, we have 18 months from the original notification date in which to comply with the average market capitalization standard, subject to compliance with the NYSE’s other continued listing requirements and subject to quarterly reviews by the NYSE to monitor our progress against the plan. During this time, our common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE.

 

Among the other NYSE continued listing standards, a company is subject to delisting if average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period is less than $15 million, regardless of stockholders’ equity or if a company’s average common stock prices is less than $1.00 for more than 30 consecutive trading days. As of July 15, 2010, our closing stock price was $3.53 per share and our average global market capitalization over the previous consecutive 30 trading-day period ended on July 15, 2010 was approximately $33.0 million.

 

In the future, we may not be able to meet the continued listing requirements of the NYSE, in response to which, the NYSE may take action to delist our common stock. In such event, if we are unable to regain compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards within the required time frames, our common stock would be delisted, which would violate the provisions of our $50 million line of credit and our $40 million senior secured convertible notes and could result in these debts becoming immediately due. In addition, delisting could negatively impact us by, among other things, reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock, reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, decreasing the amount of news and analyst coverage for us, and limiting our ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future, and might negatively impact our reputation and, as a consequence, our business.
