NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(UNAUDITED)

 

1.              Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim 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, 2012, 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 September 30, 2013 and 2012. 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, 2012.

 

LIQUIDITY

 

The Company reported a net loss of $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Included in the net loss was a $1.9 million gain from the sale of a 7-acre parcel in June 2013 that was part of the Company’s former agricultural processing facilities. The Company reported negative cash flows from operations of $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company had an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $54.8 million and a stockholders’ deficiency of $36 million at September 30, 2013.

 

The Company has two primary credit facilities that have financial covenants requiring among other things, a minimum of $4 million in liquidity (as defined), a maximum of $175 million in total liabilities, and a limitation on new indebtedness. The Company has pledged a significant portion of its real estate holdings as security for borrowings under these credit facilities. Both facilities are scheduled to mature in May 2014 and have been classified as currently due. The Company is required to pay $2.3 million to reduce its principal balance to $20 million by December 31, 2013 under the American AgCredit credit facility.

 

The Company’s cash outlook for the next twelve months and its ability to continue to meet its loan covenants is highly dependent on selling certain real estate assets at acceptable prices. If the Company is unable to meet its loan covenants, borrowings under the Company’s credit facilities may become immediately due, and 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 a commitment of up to $35 million to purchase the spa, beach club improvements and the sundry store (the “Amenities”) from the new owners of the Residences at Kapalua Bay, a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) matter related to the Company’s discontinued agricultural operations, the timing of payments under an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) settlement related to previously filed tax returns, and funding requirements related to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans. These matters are further described in Notes 8, 10, 11, 13 and 15.

 

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 efforts to generate cash flow by employing its real estate assets in leasing and other arrangements, by the sale of several real estate assets, and by continued cost reduction efforts. The Company is in active negotiations with the new owners of the Residences at Kapalua Bay project to resolve its limited guarantees with respect to the completion of the project (as described in Note 8) and purchase commitment for the Amenities. The Company is also actively working with its lenders to extend the maturity dates of its credit facilities.

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.

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 potentially dilutive common shares from share-based compensation arrangements had been issued.

 

Potentially dilutive shares arise from non-qualified stock options to purchase common stock and non-vested restricted stock. The treasury stock method is applied to determine the number of potentially dilutive shares for non-vested restricted stock and stock options assuming that the shares of non-vested 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. These amounts were excluded because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

At September 30, 2013, assets held for sale included a 10-acre parcel in West Maui. At December 31, 2012, assets held for sale included a 7-acre parcel in Central Maui and a 630-acre parcel in Upcountry Maui.

 

In June 2013, the Company sold a 7-acre parcel that was the last of its former agricultural processing facilities in Central Maui for $4.0 million. The sale resulted in a gain of $1.9 million and has been reflected in discontinued operations.

 

In January 2012, the Company sold an 89-acre former agricultural parcel in Upcountry Maui for $1.5 million. The sale resulted in a gain of $1.4 million.

WELLS FARGO

 

The Company has a $32.7 million revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo that is scheduled to mature on May 1, 2014. 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 $3 million, maximum total liabilities of $175 million, and a limitation on new indebtedness. The credit agreement includes predetermined release prices for the real property securing the credit facility. There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolving facility. Absent the sale of some of its real estate holdings or refinancing, the Company does not expect to be able to pay the outstanding balance of the revolving line of credit on the maturity date. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $4.5 million available borrowing capacity.

AMERICAN AGCREDIT

 

The Company has a $22.3 million term loan with American AgCredit that is scheduled to mature on May 1, 2014. 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 that the principal balance be paid down to $20 million by December 31, 2013. The 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, maximum total liabilities of $175 million and a limitation on new indebtedness. It also requires mandatory principal repayments of 100% of the net proceeds of the sale of any real property pledged as collateral for the loan and tiered mandatory principal repayments based on predetermined percentages ranging from 10% to 75% of the net proceeds from the sale of non-collateralized real property. In accordance with this provision, the Company made $1.8 million and $353,000 of principal repayments in June 2013 and January 2012, respectively, in conjunction with the sales of non-collateralized real property. The loan is collateralized by approximately 3,100 acres of the Company’s real estate holdings in West Maui and Upcountry Maui. Absent the sale of some of its real estate holdings or refinancing, the Company does not expect to be able to pay the outstanding balance under the term loan on the maturity date.

 

As of September 30, 2013, the Company believes it is in compliance with the covenants under the Wells Fargo and American AgCredit credit facilities.

 

6.              Discontinued Operations

 

In September 2011, the Company ceased all retail operations at the Kapalua Resort. In March 2011, the Company ceased operations of the two championship golf courses at the Kapalua Resort. In December 2009, the Company ceased all agriculture operations. Accordingly, the operating results including any gains or losses from the disposal of assets related to these former operations have been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Income (loss) from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included a $1.9 million gain from the sale of a 7-acre parcel in Central Maui that was part of the Company’s former agricultural processing facilities and a $0.5 million reversal of accrued income taxes and related interest resulting from the Company’s settlement with the IRS.

7.              Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and requires entities to present information about significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component either (1) on the face of the statement where net income is presented or (2) as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively, and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income related to defined benefit pension items were $618,000 and $555,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

8.              Investments in Affiliates

 

The Company has a 51% ownership interest in Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC (Bay Holdings), which is the sole member of Kapalua Bay LLC (Kapalua Bay). The other members of Bay Holdings are MH Kapalua Venture, LLC, 34%, and ER Kapalua Investors Fund, LLC, 15%. 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 significant influence over operating and financial policies, it does not control Bay Holdings through a majority voting interest or other means. Under the LLC agreement, major decisions require the approval of either 75% or 100% of the membership interests. The Company has been designated as the managing member of Bay Holdings. 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 and timeshare development on land that it owns at the site of the former Kapalua Bay Hotel, and a spa on an adjacent parcel of land that is owned by the Company and leased to Kapalua Bay. 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 and non-monetary contributions of land valued at $25 million.

 

Kapalua Bay has a construction loan agreement that matured on August 1, 2011.  The loan was 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. On March 13, 2012, the lenders notified Kapalua Bay that the loan was in default and on June 13, 2012, the lenders filed for foreclosure against Kapalua Bay.  The foreclosure was completed on June 13, 2013 and the loan collateral including the unsold inventory, leasehold spa improvements, and the Amenities purchase and sale agreements between the Company and Kapalua Bay, were transferred to a firm affiliated with one of the two remaining lenders.

 

Pursuant to previous agreements, the Company agreed to purchase from Kapalua Bay certain Amenities that were completed in 2009 at the actual construction cost of approximately $35 million. These purchase and sale agreements were part of the lenders’ loan collateral and were foreclosed upon in June 2013. In 2010, Bay Holdings recorded impairment charges in its consolidated financial statements of approximately $23 million related to the Amenities. The Company does not have sufficient liquidity to purchase the Amenities at the actual construction cost of approximately $35 million and is in active negotiations with the new owners of the project to resolve its purchase commitment for the Amenities. If the Amenities are subsequently acquired, they will be evaluated for impairment and could result in a loss.

 

The Company has recorded $4.1 million in accrued contract terminations in the condensed consolidated balance sheets representing its remaining expected exposure to certain purchase commitments, contingencies and other legal matters associated with the project. These matters are further described in Note 13.

 

Summarized operating information for Bay Holdings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

The nine months period ended September 30, 2013 information above includes the recognition of Kapalua Bay’s gain on foreclosure of approximately $165 million resulting from $228 million of debt forgiveness. As discussed above, the Company’s carrying value of its investment in Bay Holdings was written down to zero in the past, and 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.

9.              Share-Based Compensation

 

The total compensation expense recognized for share-based compensation was $106,000 and $112,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $319,000 and $379,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 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 2.9% and 3.2%, as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Estimated forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances. Executive officers and management were awarded an incentive bonus of $133,100 and $150,300 in February 2013 and 2012, respectively, based on meeting certain performance metrics included in the Executive and Key Management Compensation Plan.  In accordance with the plan, the incentive award was settled through the issuance of 33,187 and 39,294 shares of common stock in February 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company’s cessation of its pineapple operations at the end of 2009 and the corresponding reduction in the active participant count for the Pension Plan for Bargaining Unit and Hourly Employees (Bargaining Plan) triggered the requirement that the Company provide security to the Pension Benefits Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) of approximately $5.2 million to support the unfunded liabilities of the Bargaining Plan. In April 2011, the Company executed a settlement agreement with the PBGC and pledged security of approximately 1,400 acres in West Maui that will be released in five years if the Company does not otherwise default on the agreement.

 

The Company was advised in October 2011 that the cessation of its golf operations and the corresponding reduction in the active participant count for the Bargaining Plan and the Pension Plan for Non-Bargaining Unit Employees triggered the requirement that the Company provide additional security to the PBGC of approximately $18.7 million to support the unfunded liabilities of the two pension plans or to make contributions to the plans in excess of the minimum required amounts. In November 2012, the Company executed a settlement agreement with the PBGC and pledged security of approximately 7,000 acres in West Maui that will be released in five years if the Company does not otherwise default on the agreement. No formal appraisal or determination of the fair value of the 7,000 acres was performed by the Company in connection with the settlement agreement with the PBGC.

 

In June 2013, the State of Hawaii enacted a bill directing the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), in consultation with the Hawaiian Islands Land Trust, to engage in the purchase of an approximately 270-acre parcel of former agricultural land in West Maui, known as Lipoa Point, from the Company. The bill further requires the DLNR to ensure to the maximum extent practicable that the Company uses the proceeds of the sale to benefit the Company’s defined benefit pension plans. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had unfunded pension fund liabilities of $24.2 million. The unfunded obligations are secured by approximately 8,400 acres in West Maui with a carrying value of $1.8 million, which includes Lipoa Point.  The passage of the bill does not obligate the DLNR to purchase the property or obligate the Company to sell the property. Any such sale would be subject to negotiation between the parties, including the purchase price. There is no certainty that any such sale will take place, and even if it does, the amount by which the Company’s unfunded pension fund liabilities would be reduced is uncertain. Any such reduction may not be sufficient to release the security interest on any of the Company’s other West Maui real estate holdings securing the Company’s unfunded pension fund liabilities.

 

The minimum required contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans in 2013 are expected to be $2.1 million, of which $1.6 million has been funded through September 30, 2013. Management believes that it will be able to fund the remaining contribution.

 

11.       Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate for 2013 and 2012 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 statements of operations and comprehensive loss; and such amounts are included in income taxes payable on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

At September 30, 2013, the Company had a liability of $28,000 for unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest thereon of $295,000. At September 30, 2013 there were no unrecognized tax benefits for which the liability for such taxes were recognized as deferred tax liabilities; and the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.

In April 2013, the Company and the IRS arrived at a settlement which concluded the IRS examination of the Company’s federal income tax returns for 2003 through 2008. Under terms of the settlement, the Company agreed to pay $1.8 million to the IRS, of which $0.6 million was paid at September 30, 2013. The Company is currently in discussion with the IRS regarding the remaining payment terms of the settlement. As a result of the settlement, the Company reversed $0.5 million it had previously accrued in income taxes payable and accrued interest in estimating its exposure for this matter. The reversal has been reported in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as it relates to the Company’s former agricultural operations.

 

12.       Operating Segment Information

 

The Company’s presentation of its reportable operating segments is consistent with how the Company’s chief operating decision maker determines the allocation of resources. Reportable segments are as follows:

 

·                  Real Estate includes the development and sale of real estate inventory and the operations of Kapalua Realty Company, a general brokerage real estate company located within the Kapalua Resort.

 

·                  Leasing primarily includes revenues and expenses from real property leasing activities, license fees and royalties for the use of certain of the Company’s trademarks and brand names by third parties, and the cost of maintaining the Company’s real estate assets, including conservation activities.

 

·                  Utilities primarily include the operations of Kapalua Water Company and Kapalua Waste Treatment Company, the Company’s water and sewage transmission operations (regulated by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission) servicing the Kapalua Resort. The operating segment also includes the management of ditch, reservoir and well systems that provide non-potable irrigation water to West and Upcountry Maui areas.

 

·                  Resort Amenities include a membership program that provides certain benefits and privileges within the Kapalua Resort for its members.

13.       Commitments and Contingencies

 

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. Because this lawsuit has not gone to trial, the Company is presently unable to estimate the amount, or range of amounts, of any probable liability, if any, related to this matter and has made no provision in the accompanying 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 costs to install filtration systems in any future water wells if the presence of a nematocide, commonly known as DBCP, exceeds specified levels, and for the ongoing maintenance and operating 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 as of September 30, 2013 has recorded a liability of $83,000. 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 previous agreements, the Company agreed to purchase from Kapalua Bay certain Amenities that were completed in 2009 at the actual construction cost of approximately $35 million. These purchase and sale agreements were part of the lenders loan collateral and were foreclosed upon in June 2013. The Company does not have sufficient liquidity to purchase the Amenities at the actual construction cost of approximately $35 million and is in active negotiations with the new owners of the project to resolve its purchase commitment for the Amenities (Note 8).

 

Pursuant to loan agreements related to certain equity investments, the Company and the other members of the respective joint ventures have guaranteed to the lenders each investors’ pro rata share of costs and losses that may be incurred by the lender as a result of the occurrence of specified triggering events. These guarantees do not include full payment of the loans. At September 30, 2013, the Company has recorded $4.1 million representing the fair value of its obligations under these agreements (Note 8).

 

On June 7, 2012, a group of owners of 12 whole-ownership units at The Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, Kapalua Bay filed a lawsuit against multiple parties including the Company. The Company believes it has not been involved in any wrongdoing, disagrees with the charges and plans to vigorously defend itself. Because this lawsuit has not gone to trial, the Company is presently unable to estimate the amount, or range of amounts, of any probable liability, if any, related to this matter and has made no provision in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

On May 23, 2011, a lawsuit was filed against multiple parties including the Company by 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. Because this lawsuit has not gone to trial, the Company is presently unable to estimate the amount, or range of amounts, of any probable liability, if any, related to this matter and has made no provision in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

On June 19, 2013, a lawsuit was filed against multiple parties including the Company by several owners of timeshare condominium interests in The Ritz-Carlton Residences at Kapalua Bay (Fractional Interests).  The lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit, State of Hawaii, pursuant to Civil No. 13-1-0640-(2). The lawsuit alleges unfair and deceptive trade practices, negligent misrepresentations, omissions, concealment, and fraud in the inducement among other allegations with regards to the marketing and sales of certain Fractional Interests and seeks unspecified damages, treble damages and other relief. The Company disagrees with the allegations and plans to vigorously defend itself. Because this lawsuit has not gone to trial, the Company is presently unable to estimate the amount, or range of amounts, of any probable liability, if any, related to this matter and has made no provision in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

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.

 

14.       Fair Value Measurements

 

GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements to enable the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. GAAP requires that financial assets and liabilities 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.

 

The fair value of cash, receivables and payables approximate their carrying value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The valuation is based on settlements of similar financial instruments all of which are short-term in nature and are generally settled at or near cost. The fair value of debt was estimated based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities. The carrying amount of debt at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $50,507,000 and $49,268,000, respectively, which approximated fair value. The fair value of cash and debt has been classified as level 1 and level 2 measurements, respectively.

 

15.       Subsequent Events

 

In October 2013, the Company entered into several agreements with various parties including the lenders and new owners of the Kapalua Bay project. Under terms of the agreements, the Company would fund $2.4 million toward deferred maintenance at the project, convey land parcels underlying and adjacent to the project, and provide other consideration in exchange for full releases from the Company’s limited guarantees with respect to the completion of the project and its commitment to purchase the Amenities. The consummation of the agreements is contingent upon several factors, including the receipt of release agreements from a minimum of 70 of the non-developer fractional interest owners of the project within 90 days of the execution of the agreements.

 

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, 2012 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,” refer to either Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. alone, or to Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively.

 

Overview of the Company

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 nine months of 2013.

 

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.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included a $1.9 million gain from the sale of a 7-acre parcel that was part of our former agricultural processing facilities in Central Maui and a $0.5 million reversal of accrued income taxes payable and accrued interest resulting from our settlement with the IRS (Notes 6 and 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements).

 

The decrease in consolidated revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was due to the cessation of the spa and beach club operations in June 2013 and September 2013, respectively. Consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 also included $1.5 million from the sale of an 89-acre former agricultural parcel in Upcountry Maui.

Our investment in the Kapalua Bay project was written down to zero in 2009 and we do not expect to recover any amounts from our investment in the Kapalua Bay project. Accordingly, other than resolution of certain commitments, the foreclosure proceeding and auction will not directly impact our future operating results.

Revenues and operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 include the January 2012 sale of an 89-acre parcel in Upcountry Maui for $1.5 million. We had no sales of real estate inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Other revenues included in this operating segment were real estate commissions from Kapalua Realty Company totaling $397,000 and $653,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in commissions primarily reflects fewer transactions in 2013 and lower average values per transaction.

 

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

The decrease in resort amenities revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was due to the cessation of the spa and beach club operations in June 2013 and September 2013, respectively, in conjunction with the conclusion of the Residences at Kapalua Bay foreclosure proceeding. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, revenues for the spa and beach club operations were $1.5 million and $2.4 million respectively.

Such allocations are made on the basis of our evaluation of the level of services provided to the operating segments.

 

Lower general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were primarily due to reduced staffing levels, and lower professional services and outside consultant costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity

 

At September 30, 2013, our total debt was $50.5 million, compared to $49.3 million at December 31, 2012, and we had approximately $4.5 million available under our revolving line of credit and $0.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. Cash used in operating activities was $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. At September 30, 2013, we had a deficiency in stockholders’ equity (total liabilities exceeded total assets) of $36 million.

Table of Contents

 

Revolving Line of Credit with Wells Fargo

 

We have a $32.7 million revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo that is scheduled to mature on May 1, 2014. 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 $3 million, maximum total liabilities of $175 million, and a limitation on new indebtedness. The credit agreement includes predetermined release prices for the real property securing the credit facility. There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolving facility. Absent the sale of some of our real estate holdings or refinancing, we do not expect to be able to pay the outstanding balance of the revolving line of credit on the maturity date. Additional borrowings in the first and third quarter were used to fund operations.

 

As of September 30, 2013, we had $4.5 million available borrowing capacity.

 

Term Loan with American AgCredit

 

We have a $22.3 million term loan with American AgCredit that is scheduled to mature on May 1, 2014. 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 that the principal balance be paid down to $20 million by December 31, 2013. The 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, maximum total liabilities of $175 million and a limitation on new indebtedness. It also requires mandatory principal repayments of 100% of the net proceeds of the sale of any real property pledged as collateral for the loan and tiered mandatory principal repayments based on predetermined percentages ranging from 10% to 75% of the net proceeds from the sale of non-collateralized real property. In accordance with this provision, we made $1.8 million and $353,000 principal repayments in June 2013 and January 2012, respectively, in conjunction with the sales of non-collateralized real property. The loan is collateralized by approximately 3,100 acres of our real estate holdings in West Maui and Upcountry Maui. Absent the sale of some of our real estate holdings or refinancing, we do not expect to be able to pay the outstanding balance under the term loan on the maturity date.

 

As of September 30, 2013, we believe we are in compliance with the covenants under our Wells Fargo and American AgCredit credit facilities. Our liquidity (as defined) was $5.4 million as of September 30, 2013.

 

Cash Flows

 

During the first nine months of 2013, consolidated net cash used in operating activities was $4.9 million compared to $2.3 million during the first nine months of 2012. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the costs associated with defending various claims and legal actions pending against the Company. In addition, the sale of real estate inventory provided $1.4 million of cash in January 2012. For the first nine months of 2013, loan modification fees of $251,000 were included in financing activities.

 

Future Cash Inflows and Outflows

 

Our plans for 2013 include the possible sale of certain operating and non-operating real estate assets that could result in net cash proceeds which would be used to partially repay outstanding indebtedness, settle our remaining legacy issues and provide general working capital. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any of our real estate assets on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

Contributions to our defined benefit pension plans are expected to be approximately $2.1 million in 2013, of which $1.6 million has been funded through September 30, 2013.

 

We do not anticipate any significant development or capital expenditures in 2013.

 

Our cash outlook for 2013 and our ability to continue to meet our loan covenants and to continue as a going concern are highly dependent on successfully implementing our business initiatives and selling real estate assets at acceptable prices. If we are unable to meet our loan covenants resulting in our loan borrowings becoming immediately due, we would not have sufficient liquidity to repay such outstanding borrowings.

Table of Contents

 

We are subject to several commitments and contingencies that could negatively impact our future cash flows, including purchase commitments of up to $35 million to purchase the Amenities from the new owners of the Residences at Kapalua Bay, an EEOC matter related to our discontinued agricultural operations, the timing of payments under an IRS settlement related to previously filed tax returns, and funding requirements related to our defined benefit pension plans. These matters are further described in Notes 8, 10, 11, 13 and 15 to the accompanying 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 significant efforts to generate cash flow by employing our real estate assets in leasing and other arrangements, by the sale of several real estate assets and by continued cost reduction efforts. We are in active negotiations with the new owners of the Residences at Kapalua Bay project to resolve our limited guarantees and purchase commitment for the Amenities. We are also actively working with our lenders to extend the maturity dates of our credit facilities.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISKS

 

This and other reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, contain forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They contain words such as “may,” “will,” “project,” “might,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “estimate,” “continue” or “pursue,” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements as a result of the following factors, among others:

 

·                  unstable macroeconomic market conditions, including, but not limited to, energy costs, credit markets and changes in income and asset values;

 

·                  risks associated with real estate investments generally, and more specifically, demand for real estate and tourism in Hawaii;

 

·                  risks due to our joint venture relationships;

 

·                  our ability to complete land development projects within forecasted time and budget expectations, if at all;

·                  obligations related to the Residences at Kapalua Bay project, including the possible purchase of certain amenities of the Residences at Kapalua Bay, certain limited guarantees entered into with respect to the completion of the Residences at Kapalua Bay and certain limited recourse obligations with respect to Bay Holdings;

 

·                  our investment in the Kapalua Bay project was written down to zero in 2009 and we do not expect to recover any amounts from our investment in the Kapalua Bay project.  Accordingly, other than resolution of certain commitments, the foreclosure proceeding and auction will not directly impact our future operating results;

 

·                  potential liabilities and obligations under various federal, state and local environmental regulations with respect to the presence of hazardous or toxic substances;

 

·                  changes in weather conditions or the occurrence of natural disasters;

 

·                  our ability to maintain the listing of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange;

 

·                  our ability to comply with funding requirements for our defined benefit pension plans;

 

·                  our ability to comply with the terms of our indebtedness, including the financial covenants set forth therein, and to extend the maturity date, or refinance such indebtedness, prior to its maturity date;

 

21



Table of Contents

 

·                  our expectation, absent the sale of some of our real estate holdings or refinancing, that we do not expect to be able to pay any significant amount of our debt;

 

·                  our ability to raise capital through the sale of certain real estate assets; and

 

·                  availability of capital on terms favorable to us, or at all.

 

Such risks and uncertainties also include those risks and uncertainties 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, 2012 and the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as other factors described from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC. Although we believe that our opinions and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date of this report, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements, and our actual results may differ substantially from the views and expectations set forth in this report. Thus, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly revise our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report.

 

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

 

Evaluation of Disclosure 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.

 

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, 2012 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 and the risks and uncertainties disclosed 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.
