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, 2010, 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, 2011 and 2010. The condensed consolidated 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, 2010.

 

LIQUIDITY

 

The Company reported net income of $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Included in net income for the first six months of 2011 was a $15.1 million gain recognized from the 2010 sale of the Kapalua Bay Course (Bay Course). The Company reported negative cash flows used in operations of $5.4 million for the first six months of 2011 and had an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $7.1 million and a stockholders’ deficiency of $15.0 million at June 30, 2011. The Company had $14.1 million available to borrow under its revolving line of credit as of June 30, 2011.

 

The Company has two primary credit facilities that have financial covenants requiring among other things, a minimum of $4 million in liquidity, a maximum of $175 million in liabilities, 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 resulting in all outstanding borrowings becoming immediately due and payable. The Company has pledged a significant portion of its real estate holdings as security for borrowings under these credit facilities.

 

The Company’s ability to continue to meet its financial covenants is highly dependent on selling real estate assets in a difficult market.  If the Company is unable to meet its financial covenants resulting in the borrowings becoming immediately due, 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 of up to $35 million related to its investment in Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC (Bay Holdings) to purchase the spa, beach club improvements and the sundry store (the “Amenities”) from Kapalua Bay, LLC (Kapalua Bay), whom Bay Holdings is the sole member, its ongoing dispute with the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA), a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) lawsuit against the Company’s discontinued agricultural subsidiary, a lawsuit against the Company and other parties relating to the sale of residences at Kapalua Bay, and funding requirements related to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans. These matters are further described in Notes 10 and 14.

 

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 and to further reduce its debt, including the sale of real estate assets and cost reduction efforts. In December 2010 and February 2011, the Company restructured its debt with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and American AgCredit, FLCA, which resulted in reducing the interest rates on the credit facilities and extending the maturities from March 2011 to May 2013. In June 2011, the Company sold a 13-acre parcel that was part of its former pineapple cannery facilities in Kahului, Maui for $9.75 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay down the Company’s debt and for working capital. In addition, as required by the terms of its credit agreements, the Company set aside approximately $4.1 million from the sales proceeds for payment and settlement of certain legacy costs (as defined). The Company is currently in discussions with Kapalua Bay and its lenders to negotiate the terms of the purchase and sale agreement for the Amenities, including the purchase and payment terms, and even whether the Company will be required to purchase the Amenities.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

Revenues, costs and expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated 2010 statement of operations have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted by the Company on December 31, 2010.  The current presentation reflects changes in the Company’s business and sources of revenues due to the cessation of all pineapple operations and the increased emphasis of leasing activities.  The change in presentation did not have an effect on total operating revenues, total operating costs and expenses, and net loss.

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.

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 (fully repaid in August 2010). 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 because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Revolving Line of Credit with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo)

 

The Company has a $34.5 million revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo that matures on May 1, 2013.  Interest rates on borrowings are at LIBOR plus 3.8% and the line of credit is collateralized by approximately 880 acres of the Company’s real estate holdings at the Kapalua Resort.  The line of credit agreement contains various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type.  Financial covenants include a required minimum liquidity, as defined, of $4 million and maximum total liabilities of $175 million.  The credit agreement includes predetermined release prices for the real property securing the credit facility and an option to extend the maturity date to May 1, 2014, upon satisfaction of certain conditions.  There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolving facility.

 

Term Loan with American AgCredit, FLCA (American AgCredit)

 

At June 30, 2011, the Company had $24.4 million outstanding under a term loan with American AgCredit that matures on May 1, 2013.  The interest rate on this credit facility is based on the greater of 1.00% or the 30-day LIBOR rate, plus an applicable spread of 4.25%. The loan agreement provides for tiered reductions in the applicable spread to 3.75%, subject to corresponding reductions in the principal balance of the loan. The loan requires mandatory principal prepayments of 100% of the net proceeds of the sale of any real property pledged as collateral for the loan. It also requires tiered mandatory principal prepayments based on predetermined percentages ranging from 10% to 75% of the net proceeds from the sale of non-collateralized real property. The credit agreement is collateralized by approximately 3,100 acres of the Company’s real estate holdings in West Maui and Upcountry Maui. The term loan agreement contains various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type.  Financial covenants include a required minimum liquidity, as defined, of $4 million and maximum total liabilities of $175 million.

 

As of June 30, 2011, the Company believes it is in compliance with the covenants under the Wells Fargo and American AgCredit credit facilities.

 

5.     Assets Held for Sale and Real Estate Sales

 

At December 31, 2010, assets held for sale included a portion of the Company’s former agriculture facilities in Kahului totaling approximately 13 acres; and equipment formerly used in the Company’s golf operations that met the criteria of held for sale. In June 2011, the Company sold the 13-acre parcel for $9.75 million.  The sale resulted in net cash proceeds of $8.2 million and a loss of $871,000 that is recorded in discontinued operations.  Included in the purchase price is $900,000 that remains in escrow pending finalization of post-closing obligations.  The Company recorded $700,000 of the cash held in escrow, less related expenses, as deferred revenue on the Company’s balance sheet at June 30, 2011.  In accordance with the terms of its credit agreements, the Company repaid $579,000 of its term loan with American AgCredit with proceeds from the sale and withheld approximately $4.1 million in escrow for payment and settlement of certain legacy costs (as defined). The $4.1 million held in escrow has been recorded as restricted cash on the Company’s June 30, 2011 condensed consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

In September 2010, the Company sold the land, improvements, structures and fixtures comprising the Bay Course and the adjacent maintenance facility for a total of $24.1 million in cash.  Concurrent with the sale the Company entered into an agreement to lease back the assets through March 31, 2011, and due to certain construction work required by the leaseback arrangement and other continuing involvement, the sale was accounted for as a financing transaction. Accordingly, the net proceeds received had been reflected as a current liability and no gain was recognized at the time of the sale. At the conclusion of the leaseback of the Bay Course as of March 31, 2011, the Company recognized $15.1 million of gain from the sale of the Bay Course and maintenance facility, which is included in discontinued operations. In 2009, the Company sold the Plantation Golf Course (PGC) land, improvements and other assets and entered into a leaseback arrangement that also expired on March 31, 2011.  A gain on the sale of the PGC of $27.7 million was recognized primarily in September 2010.

 

6.     Discontinued Operations

 

As of April 1, 2011, the Company’s business no longer includes the operation of the two championship golf courses at Kapalua Resort (Note 5).  The operating results for the golf courses and the gains and losses from disposal of the golf course land, improvements and equipment are reported as discontinued operations.  These operations were previously reported as part of the Resort segment.  Income from golf course discontinued operations for the first six months of 2011 includes a gain of $15.1 million from sale of the Bay Course.

 

As of June 30, 2011, the Honolua Store was leased to a third-party operator.  In June 2011, the Company determined that it would cease operations of its last retail outlet in September 2011.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, revenues and operating costs and expenses from the Company’s retail operations were approximately $9,165,000 and $7,619,000, respectively.

The Company ceased all agriculture operations as of the end of 2009 and accordingly, these operations are reported as discontinued operations.  Loss from discontinued agriculture operations in 2011 includes the loss of $871,000 from the June 2011 sale of a portion of the former agriculture processing facilities (Note 5).  Income from discontinued agriculture operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 includes a credit of $2.3 million representing the gain from settlement of the Company’s post-retirement life insurance plans (Note 10).

7.     Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 were effective January 1, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820) — Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  The amendments in this ASU result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and international financial reporting standards (IFRS).  The ASU also provides for certain changes in current GAAP disclosure requirements, for example with respect to the measurement of level 3 assets and for measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity.  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively, and are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-15, Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220) — Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  The amendments from this update will result in more converged guidance on how comprehensive income is presented under both U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  With this update to ASC 220, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income.  The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income, nor does it affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented.  Current U.S. GAAP allows reporting entities three alternatives for presenting other comprehensive income and its components in financial statements.  One of those presentation options is to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  This update eliminates that option.  The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively, and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

8.              Investments in Affiliates

 

The Company, via its affiliate MLP KB Partner LLC, has a 51% ownership interest in Bay Holdings, which is the sole member of Kapalua Bay. The other members of Bay Holdings through their wholly owned affiliates are Marriott International Inc., 34%, and Exclusive Resorts LLC, 15%. A 63% shareholder and director of the Company, through related companies is the majority owner of ER. Bay Holdings is not a variable interest entity, as defined in GAAP. The Company accounts for its investment in Bay Holdings using the equity method of accounting because, although it has the ability to exercise influence over operating and financial policies, it does not control Bay Holdings through a majority voting interest or other means. Profits and losses of Bay Holdings were allocated in proportion to the members’ ownership interests, which approximated the estimated cash distributions to the members.  Kapalua Bay constructed a residential development on land that it owns at the site of the former Kapalua Bay Hotel. Through June 30, 2011, the sale of 26 (84 total) whole-ownership units and 167 (744 total) fractional units have closed.

 

As a result of the 2009 losses incurred by Bay Holdings, the Company’s carrying value of its investment in Bay Holdings was written down to zero in 2009. The Company does not expect to recover any amounts from its investment in Bay Holdings. 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.

 

Kapalua Bay has a construction loan agreement with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and other lenders under which $279.8 million was outstanding at June 30, 2011, and that matures on August 1, 2011.  Kapalua Bay is currently working with its lenders to restructure the terms of the loan agreement to extend the maturity and to provide available funding for continued operations.  The loan is collateralized by the project assets including the land that is owned by Kapalua Bay that underlies the project. The Company and the other members of Bay Holdings have guaranteed to the lenders completion of the project and recourse with regard to certain acts, but have not guaranteed repayment of the loan. The Company has recorded $4.1 million in other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet as its estimated share of the completion and recourse guarantees. The Company has no other funding commitments to Bay Holdings.

 

Summarized operating information for Bay Holdings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

There was no tax benefit or expense related thereto for each period presented.  Recognized stock compensation was reduced for estimated forfeitures prior to vesting primarily based on historical annual forfeiture rates of approximately 3.8% and 4.3%, as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Estimated forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances.

In 2011, there are no other postretirement benefits as the Company’s postretirement health and life insurance plans were terminated in 2010.  In January 2010, the Company terminated its postretirement life insurance plan and in February 2010, the Company terminated its postretirement medical coverage for non-bargaining retirees.  The curtailment and settlement gain from these events totaled $3,259,000 of which $2,334,000 was recorded in discontinued operations and $921,000 was included in general and administrative expense in the first quarter of 2010.  In December 2010, the Company’s postretirement medical coverage for bargaining unit employees was cancelled.

 

The minimum required contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans in 2011 are expected to be $1.9 million.

 

In April 2011, the Company executed a settlement agreement with the Pension Benefits Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) and pledged security of approximately 1,400 acres in West Maui to secure approximately $5.2 million of unfunded liabilities of its Pension Plan for Bargaining Unit and Hourly Employees.  The mortgage on the property will be released in five years if the Company does not otherwise default on the agreement.

 

11.       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 utilized 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 were 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 August 2010, the convertible notes were fully repaid.

 

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 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.

In March 2011, assets held for sale with a carrying value of $1,078,000 were written down to the lower of net book value or estimated fair value less costs to sell of $623,000 (based on Level 3 inputs), resulting in a loss of $455,000.  The fair value was estimated based on the fair values of similar assets and recent offers received for the property as well as other market information.

 

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 (including current portion) at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $44,421,000 and $45,200,000, respectively, which approximated fair value.  The carrying amount of the Company’s other financial instruments approximates fair value.

 

12.       Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate for 2011 and 2010 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 condensed consolidated Statement of Operations; and such amounts are included in income taxes payable on the Company’s condensed consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

At June 30, 2011, the Company had a liability of $741,000 for unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties thereon of $1.1 million, which is included in income taxes payable in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet.  At June 30, 2011 there were no unrecognized tax benefits for which the liability for such taxes were recognized as deferred tax liabilities because net operating losses available to be carried back would offset any income tax liability; and the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.

14.       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. Due to the lack of a title sponsor, the Company has not been able to sponsor the golf tournament after the tournament in October 2008. This 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 December 2011. The Company has paid the LPGA $1.4 million, which will be partially applied by the LPGA to sponsorship of the 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.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

On April 19, 2011, a lawsuit was filed against the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd. and several other Hawaii based farmers by the EEOC.  The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, District of Hawaii, pursuant to Civil Action No. 11-00257.  The lawsuit alleges unlawful employment practices on the basis of national origin and race discrimination, harassment and retaliation and seeks injunctive relief, unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and other relief.  The Company believes it has not been involved in any wrongdoing, disagrees with the charges and plans to vigorously defend itself. The Company is presently unable to reasonably estimate the amount of probable liability, if any, related to this matter and, accordingly, has made no provision in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

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,

Table of Contents

 

and through June 30, 2011 has recorded a liability of $516,000 of which $390,000 has been paid. 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.

 

Investments in Affiliates

 

Pursuant to a previous agreement, the Company was committed to purchase from Kapalua Bay the project Amenities upon their completion in 2009 at the actual construction cost of approximately $35 million. The Company is currently in discussions with Kapalua Bay and its lenders to negotiate the terms of the purchase and sale agreement including the purchase and payment terms, and even whether the Company will even be required to purchase the Amenities.

 

Pursuant to loan agreements related to Kapalua Bay, the Company and the other members of Bay Holdings have guaranteed to lenders completion of the project and recourse with regard to certain acts. These guarantees do not include full payment of the loans. At June 30, 2011, the Company has recognized the estimated fair value of its obligations under these agreements, which is included in other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

Other

 

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

 

In March 2011, the Company received an IRS Examination report covering income tax returns for 2005 through 2008.  The Company disagrees with approximately $13.9 million of the $14.3 million of proposed additional net income and has filed a protest and request for conference with an appeals officer.  The Company previously accrued $1.3 million of expected income tax liability and believes that any additional potential exposure is not material.

 

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.

 

On May 23, 2011, a lawsuit was filed against Kapalua Bay; the Company; The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC; Kapalua Realty Co. Ltd.; and other John and Jane Does; by Virendra Nath, Nancy Makowski, Krishna Narayan and Sherrie Narayan, purchasers of two units at the Ritz-Carlton Residences at Kapalua Bay.  The lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit, State of Hawaii pursuant to Civil No. 11-1-0216-(3).  The lawsuit alleges deceptive acts, intentional misrepresentation, concealment, and negligent misrepresentation, among other allegations with regard to the sale of the two residential units and seeks unspecified damages, treble damages and other relief. The Company disagrees with the allegations and plans to vigorously defend itself.  The Company is presently unable to reasonably estimate the amount of probable liability, if any, related to this matter and, accordingly, has made no provision in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  On July 12, 2011, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.  The motion is scheduled to be heard on September 16, 2011.

 

15.       Correction to Previously Issued Financial Statements

 

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company concluded that its liability for refundable deposits due to its Kapalua Club members was understated by approximately $1,506,000 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.  This understatement originated from initiation dues received for memberships issued in years prior to 2009 for which the refundable portion was not recorded as a liability.  In addition, the Company concluded that the estimated interest on uncertain tax positions was overstated by approximately $571,000 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 because of net operating losses available to be carried back from 2008 and 2009 to earlier years.  As a result, the accompanying condensed consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Deficiency for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and the accompanying condensed consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been corrected as follows:

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, 2010 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. develops, sells, and manages residential, resort, commercial, and industrial real estate. The Company owns approximately 23,000 acres of land on Maui and operates retail, utility operations, and a nature preserve at the Kapalua Resort.  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.

 

Resort

 

The Kapalua Resort is part of approximately 21,800 acres owned by us in West Maui, most of which remains as open space. Revenues included in the Resort segment are primarily retail sales and resort services in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.  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, two championship golf courses (The Bay and The Plantation), a ten-court tennis facility, a spa, several restaurants, and over 800 condominiums, single-family homes and residential lots. We do not own these assets except that we continue to have a minor joint venture interest in The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel and through Bay Holdings we continue to own 51% of the unsold units in The Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences at Kapalua Bay and the Kapalua Spa. In March 2009 we sold The Plantation and in September 2010 we sold The Bay golf courses.  We operated both golf courses under leaseback agreements with terms that expired at the end of March 2011.  Our golf course operations are accounted for as discontinued operations in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.  Our Resort segment currently includes the operation of the Kapalua Spa and retail operations at Kapalua Resort.

 

Community Development

 

The Community Development segment includes real estate entitlement, development, construction, and sales. Revenues included in the Community Development segment are primarily real estate sales, lease income, utility revenues and other in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. 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.

 

Revenues and expense from our real property leasing activities, license fees and royalties for the use of certain of our trademarks and brand names by third parties, and the cost of maintaining our real estate assets, including conservation activities, are part of our Community Development operations.

 

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 Resort and adjacent communities.

 

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.

 

We are engaged 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 639 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.

 

19



Table of Contents

 

·           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. 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

 

Agriculture

 

Our Agriculture operations 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.

 

Golf

 

We no longer operate the Bay and Plantation golf courses after the expiration of the sales-leaseback agreement at the end of March 2011.  Our golf course operations, previously part of the Resort segment, are accounted for as discontinued operations in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

 

Current Developments

 

For the second quarter of 2011, we reported a net loss of $2.5 million compared to a net loss of $4.6 million for the same period in 2010. The lower loss for the second quarter of 2011 primarily reflects lower operating, general and administrative, and interest expenses and approximately $1.2 million of reduced losses from discontinued operations. Cash used in operating activities for the first six months of 2011 was $5.4 million.

 

·                  In April 2011, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) informed us that we would be removed from the NYSE watch list and be considered to be in compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE.

·                  At our annual meeting of shareholders in May 2011, Stephen M. Case, Warren H. Haruki, David A. Heenan, Kent T. Lucien, Duncan MacNaughton, Arthur C. Tokin and Fred E. Trotter III were re-elected to our board for a one-year term.

·                  In June 2011, we sold a 13-acre parcel in Kahului, Maui that was a portion of our former agriculture processing facilities.

·                  Effective June 27, 2011, Honolua Store, a 7,600 square foot retail outlet in the Kapalua Resort is being operated by a third party under a long-term lease agreement.

 

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 2011.

There are no 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.

Consolidated revenues were $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2010.  The lower revenues for 2011 were primarily due to lower retail sales and lease revenue after the expiration of the sales-leaseback arrangements and corresponding discontinuance of retail and leasing operations at the Plantation and Bay Golf courses at the end of March 2011. We reported a net loss of $2.5 million ($0.13 per share) for the second quarter of 2011 compared to a net loss of $4.6 million ($0.57 per share) for the second quarter of 2010. The lower loss for the second quarter of 2011 primarily reflects lower operating, general and administrative, and interest expenses and approximately $1.2 million of reduced losses from discontinued operations.

 

Consolidated revenues were $11.6 million for the first half of 2011 compared to $13.9 million for the first half of 2010.  We reported net income of $10.0 million ($0.54 per share) for the first half of 2011 compared to a net loss of $7.3 million ($0.90 per share) for the same period in 2010.  Net income for the first half of 2011 includes a gain of $15.1 million recognized in March 2011 from sale of the Bay Course (Note 5 to condensed consolidated financial statements).

 

General and Administrative

 

Consolidated general and administrative expenses were $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2010.  For the first half of 2011, general and administrative expenses were $3.6 million compared to $3.3 million for the first half of 2010.  Salaries and associated employee benefit costs decreased by approximately 27% for the second quarter and 31% for the first half of 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 because of lower staffing levels.  We expect that salaries and employee benefits will continue to decrease in 2011 because of the elimination of administrative and other support positions as a result of the cessation of our golf operations at the end of March 2011 and our Honolua Store operations at the end of June 2011.  Costs incurred for professional services were lower in the second quarter and first half of 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 principally reflecting lower professional service costs.  Pension and postretirement costs were higher in the second quarter and first half of 2011, compared to the comparable periods in 2010, because of settlement and curtailment gains recorded in 2010 as a result of eliminating certain post retirement benefits.

 

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 the level of services provided to the operating segments.

Interest Expense, net

 

Interest expense was $463,000 for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2010.  For the first half of 2011, interest expense was $1.1 million compared to $4.7 million for the first half of 2010.  The reduction in interest expense in 2011 is primarily due to the extinguishment of our $40 million convertible notes in August 2010, combined with lower borrowings under our line of credit and lower average interest rates.  Our effective interest rate on borrowings was 4.8% in the second quarter of 2011, compared to 5.7% in the second quarter of 2010; and 4.8% for the first half of 2011, compared to 5.8% for the first half of 2010.

Revenues from the Community Development segment were $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2010; and the segment reported an operating loss of $700,000 for the second quarter of 2011, compared to an operating loss of $100,000 for the second quarter of 2010.  Lower revenues and the operating loss in the second quarter of 2011 were primarily due to lower lease revenues since April 1, 2011 because we are no longer receiving lease revenues from the restaurants at the Plantation and Bay golf courses.

 

Revenues from the Community Development segment were $5.2 million for the first half of 2011 compared to $6.6 million for the first half of 2010. The segment reported an operating loss of $1.3 million for the first half of 2011 compared to operating profit of $700,000 for the first half of 2010.  The lower results in the first half of 2011 primarily reflect lower sales of real estate inventories.  In March 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 sales of real estate inventories in the first half of 2011.

Effective April 1, 2011, we are no longer the lessee and operator of the Plantation and Bay golf courses at Kapalua Resort (Notes 5 and 6 to condensed consolidated financial statements).  Golf operations are accounted for as discontinued operations and therefore are not included in the results of the Resort segment.

 

Resort segment revenues decreased from $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2011, primarily reflecting lower retail sales, partially offset by an increase in sales and services at the Kapalua Spa.  The reduction in retail sales primarily reflects the absence of retail sales from the Plantation and Bay golf course pro shops in the second quarter of 2011.  In March 2011, we entered into agreements with the owner of the two golf courses, whereby we relinquished our right to lease and operate the pro shops in return for royalties on certain merchandise sold at the pro shops for a period of ten years.  The operating loss from the Resort segment was $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2010.  Lower operating and general and administrative expenses contributed to the decreased operating loss.

Table of Contents

 

For the first six months of 2011, Resort segment revenues were $6.3 million compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 2010.  The operating loss from the Resort segment for the first half of 2011 was $2.1 million compared to an operating loss of $5.0 million for the first half of 2010.  In addition to reductions in operating and general and administrative expenses, lower marketing costs also contributed to the decreased operating loss for the first half of 2011.

As of April 1, 2011, we are no longer the lessee and operator of the two championship golf courses at Kapalua Resort and accordingly, these operations and the gains and losses from disposal of the Bay Course land, improvements and equipment are reported as discontinued operations (Notes 5 and 6 to condensed consolidated financial statements).  Golf operations were previously reported as part of the Resort segment.  Income from golf course discontinued operations for the first six months of 2011 included a gain of $15.1 million from sale of the Bay Course.

 

As of the end of 2009, we ceased all of our agricultural operations.  The loss from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2011 includes a loss of $871,000 from the sale of a 13-acre parcel in Kahului, Maui that was a portion of our former agriculture processing facilities.  Income from discontinued agriculture operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 includes a credit of $2.3 million representing the gain from settlement of our post-retirement life insurance plans (Note 10 to condensed consolidated financial statements).

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity

 

At June 30, 2011, our total debt was $44.4 million, compared to $45.4 million at December 31, 2010, and we had approximately $14.1 million available under our revolving line of credit and $594,000 in cash and cash equivalents.  Cash used in operating activities was $5.4 million for the six months of 2011.  At June 30, 2011, and we had an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $7.1 million and a deficiency in stockholders’ equity (total liabilities exceeded total assets) of $15.0 million.

 

In February 2011, our revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo was modified resulting in an increase in the total available commitment from $25 million to $34.5 million and an extension of the commitment maturity date from May 2012 to May 2013.  The maturity date of our term loan with American AgCredit was also extended from May 2012 to May 2013 in February 2011.

 

Revolving Line of Credit with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo)

 

We have a $34.5 million revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo that matures on May 1, 2013.  Interest rates on borrowings are at LIBOR plus 3.8% and the line of credit is collateralized by approximately 880 acres of our real estate holdings at the Kapalua Resort.  The line of credit agreement contains various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type.  Financial covenants include a required minimum liquidity (as defined) of $4 million and maximum total liabilities of $175 million.  The credit agreement includes predetermined release prices for the real property securing the credit facility and an option to extend the maturity date to May 1, 2014, upon satisfaction of certain conditions.  There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolving facility.

 

As of June 30, 2011, we had $20.0 million of borrowings outstanding, $14.1 million available borrowing capacity and irrevocable letters of credit totaling $0.4 million that were secured by the line of credit.

Term Loan with American AgCredit, FLCA (American AgCredit)

 

We have a $24.4 million term loan with American AgCredit that matures on May 1, 2013.  The interest rate on this credit facility is based on the greater of 1.00% or the 30-day LIBOR rate, plus an applicable spread of 4.25%. The loan agreement provides for tiered reductions in the applicable spread to 3.75%, subject to corresponding reductions in the principal balance of the loan. The loan requires mandatory principal prepayments of 100% of the net proceeds of the sale of any real property pledged as collateral for the loan. It also requires tiered mandatory principal prepayments based on predetermined percentages ranging from 10% to 75% of the net proceeds from the sale of non-collateralized real property. The credit agreement is collateralized by approximately 3,100 acres of our real estate holdings in West Maui and Upcountry Maui. The term loan agreement contains various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type.  Financial covenants include a required minimum liquidity (as defined) of $4 million and maximum total liabilities of $175 million.

 

Amended Construction Loan Agreement with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.

 

Kapalua Bay has a construction loan agreement with Lehman and other lenders under which $279.8 million was outstanding at June 30, 2011 and that matures on August 1, 2011. Kapalua Bay is currently working with the lenders to restructure the terms of the loan agreement to extend the maturity date and to provide available funding for continued operations. The loan is collateralized by the Residences at Kapalua Bay project assets including the land that underlies the project, which is owned by Kapalua Bay. We and the other members of Bay Holdings have guaranteed to the lenders completion of the project and recourse with regard to certain acts, but have not guaranteed repayment of the loan. At June 30, 2011, we have recognized the estimated fair value of our obligations under these agreements of $4.1 million, which is included in other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

Operating Cash Flows

 

In the first six months of 2011, consolidated net cash used in operating activities was $5.4 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.1 million for the first six months of 2010. Operating cash flows for the first six months of 2011 include income tax refunds of $47,000 and interest payments of $915,000; compared to income tax refunds of $5.5 million and interest payments of $4.0 million for the first six months of 2010.  Cash flows for the first six months of 2010 also included $1.5 million from the sale of real estate inventory.

 

Investing and Financing Cash Flows

 

In June 2011 we sold a 13-acre parcel in Kahului, Maui that resulted in net cash proceeds of $8.2 million, of which $579,000 was used to repay our term loan with American AgCredit.  In accordance with our loan agreements, $4.1 million of the sales proceeds were withheld in escrow for payment and settlement of certain legacy costs (as defined).  In addition, we have $900,000 remaining in escrow pending finalization of post-closing obligations.  In the first half of 2011, we received proceeds of approximately $1.4 million from the sale of golf equipment to the new operator of the Kapalua golf courses and through an auction.

 

Future Cash Inflows and Outflows

 

Our ability to continue to meet our financial covenants is highly dependent on selling real estate assets in a difficult market.  If we are unable to meet our financial covenants resulting in the borrowings becoming immediately due, we would not have sufficient liquidity to repay such outstanding borrowings. In addition, we are subject to several commitments and contingencies that could negatively impact our future cash flows, including commitments related to our investment in Bay Holdings to purchase the Amenities, an ongoing dispute with the LPGA, an EEOC lawsuit against our discontinued agricultural subsidiary, a lawsuit filed against us and other parties relating to the sale of residences at Kapalua Bay and funding requirements related to our defined benefit pension plans. These matters are further described in Notes 10 and 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The aforementioned 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 the initiatives discussed below in order to continue as a going concern.

 

In response to these circumstances, we continue to undertake several financial and strategic initiatives to reduce cash commitments, to generate cash flow from a variety of sources and to further reduce our debt, including the sale of several real estate assets and cost reduction efforts. We are currently in discussions with the other members of Bay Holdings and the lenders to negotiate the terms of the purchase and sale agreement including the purchase and payment terms, and even whether we will even be required to purchase the Amenities.

 

Contributions to our defined benefit pension plans are expected to be approximately $1.9 million in 2011.

 

We do not anticipate any significant capital expenditures in 2011.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

 We are not required to provide disclosure in response to Part 1: Item 3 of Form 10-Q because we are considered to be a “smaller reporting company.”

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain 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) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

 

On May 23, 2011, a lawsuit was filed against Kapalua Bay; the Company; The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC; Kapalua Realty Co. Ltd.; and other John and Jane Does; by Virendra Nath, Nancy Makowski, Krishna Narayan and Sherrie Narayan, purchasers of two units at the Ritz-Carlton Residences at Kapalua Bay.  The lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit, State of Hawaii pursuant to Civil No. 11-1-0216-(3).  The lawsuit alleges deceptive acts, intentional misrepresentation, concealment, and negligent misrepresentation, among other allegations with regard to the sale of the two residential units and seeks unspecified damages, treble damages and other relief. The Company disagrees with the allegations and plans to vigorously defend itself.  The Company is presently unable to reasonably estimate the amount of probable liability, if any, related to this matter and, accordingly, has made no provision in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  On July 12, 2011, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.

 

On April 19, 2011, a lawsuit was filed against the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd. and several other Hawaii based farmers by the EEOC.  The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, District of Hawaii, pursuant to Civil Action No. 11-00257.  The lawsuit alleges unlawful employment practices on the basis of national origin and race discrimination, harassment and retaliation and seeks injunctive relief, unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and other relief.  The Company believes it has not been involved in any wrongdoing, disagrees with the charges and plans to vigorously defend itself. The Company is presently unable to reasonably estimate the amount of probable liability, if any, related to this matter and, accordingly, has made no provision in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

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, 2010 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.

Market volatility of asset prices and interest rates affect the funded status of our defined benefit pension plans and could, under certain circumstances, be reasonably likely to have a material adverse affect on our financial condition.

 

As of June 30, 2011, no additional benefits are accruing for participants in the defined benefit pension plans, however, the funded status for these plans is a liability of approximately $18 million.  Contributions to our defined benefit pension plans are expected to be approximately $1.9 million in 2011.  Changes in interest rates and the market prices of the plan assets drive the annual funding short-fall or gain and affect the minimum cash contributions that must be paid to the plans.  Therefore, under certain circumstances, changes in asset prices or interest rates could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition.

 

Item 5. Other Information
