HMG/COURTLAND PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 (Unaudited)

 

1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2012. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc. (the "Company") and entities in which the Company owns a majority voting interest or controlling financial interest. All material transactions and balances with consolidated and unconsolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation or as required under the equity method.

 

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for recent accounting pronouncements. The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

3. SALE OF REAL ESTATE INTERESTS

 

As previously reported, on February 25, 2013 the Company completed the sale of its interests in Grove Isle Associates LLLP, Grove Isle Yacht Club Associates, Grove Isle Investments Inc. and CII Yacht Club, Inc., which represent interests in the Grove Isle hotel, club, tennis courts and marina (collectively, the “Grove Isle Property”) to Grove Isle Yacht & Tennis, LLC, a Florida limited liability company and an unrelated entity (“the Purchaser”), pursuant to a purchase agreement entered into on the same day (the “Agreement”). The purchase price was $24.4 million, consisting of $23.4 million in cash and a $1 million promissory note due from the Purchaser. Approximately $2.7 million of the proceeds were used to pay off the existing mortgage on the Grove Isle Property. The Company realized gain on the sale of these interests of approximately $18.7 million (or $18.71 per share) net of incentive fee due to the Adviser of approximately $2.1 million.

 

As previously reported, on March 29, 2013, pursuant to a Membership Interests Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into in December 2012, HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc. and its 95% owned subsidiary, Courtland Investments, Inc. (the “Company”), completed the sale of the Company’s 50% membership interests in Bayshore Landing LLC, Bayshore Rawbar LLC and Bayshore Restaurant LLC, (collectively the “Monty’s property) to the other 50% owner, The Christoph Family Trusts, which are unrelated entities. The purchase price for the membership interests of $3 million was paid in cash. The Company realized a loss on the sale of these interests of approximately $184,000 (or $.19 per share).

 

4. INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES

 

Investments in marketable securities consist primarily of large capital corporate equity and debt securities in varying industries or issued by government agencies with readily determinable fair values. These securities are stated at market value, as determined by the most recent traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. Consistent with the Company's overall current investment objectives and activities its entire marketable securities portfolio is classified as trading.

Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments in marketable securities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 is summarized below:

 

   Three Months Ended March 31, 
Description  2013   2013 
Net realized (loss) gain from sales of securities  $(3,000)  $49,000 
Unrealized net gain in trading securities   106,000    43,000 
Total net gain from investments in marketable securities  $103,000   $92,000 

  

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 net realized loss from sales of marketable securities of approximately $3,000 consisted of approximately $23,000 of gross losses net of $20,000 of gross gains. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 net realized gain from sales of marketable securities of approximately $49,000 consisted of approximately $65,000 of gross gains net of $16,000 of gross losses.

 

Investment gains and losses on marketable securities may fluctuate significantly from period to period in the future and could have a significant impact on the Company's net earnings. However, the amount of investment gains or losses on marketable securities for any given period has no predictive value and variations in amount from period to period have no practical analytical value.

 

5. OTHER INVESTMENTS

 

As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s portfolio of other investments had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $3.5 million and we have committed to fund approximately $749,000 as required by agreements with the investees. The carrying value of these investments is equal to contributions less distributions and loss valuation adjustments. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash distributions received from other investments totaled approximately $217,000 from several investments in privately owned partnerships owning diversified operating companies. The Company contributed an additional $23,000 toward fulfilling capital commitments on existing investments.

 

Net income from other investments for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, is summarized below:

 

   2013   2012 
Partnership owning real estate & related  $33,000     
Partnership owning diversified businesses   26,000   $31,000 
Venture capital fund – technology        
Income from investment in affiliate -T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc.   31,000    17,000 
Total net income from other investments  $90,000   $48,000

The following tables present gross unrealized losses and fair values for those investments that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, aggregated by investment category and the length of time that investments have been in a continuous loss position:

Partnerships owning diversified businesses           241,000    (5,000)   241,000    (5,000)
Partnerships owning real estate and related investments           231,000    (49,000)   231,000    (49,000)
Total  $11,000   $(10,000)  $846,000   $(123,000)  $856,000   $(133,000)

 

When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis.

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 320-10-65, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments as of March 31, 2012 the Company recorded a loss of approximately $28,000 from an investment in a partnership which operates and leases executive suites in Miami, Florida. The Company has funded $120,000 to date in this investment and the losses incurred were associated with the initial start up of the venture in 2010. There were no OTTI impairment valuation adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

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

(a)   Other investments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent such as member units or an ownership interest in partners’ capital to which a proportionate share of net assets is attributed, “NAV”). This class primarily consists of private equity funds that have varying investment focus. These investments can never be redeemed with the funds. Instead, the nature of the investments in this class is that distributions are received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of the fund. If these investments were held it is estimated that the underlying assets of the fund would be liquidated over 5 to 10 years. As of March 31, 2013, it is probable that all of the investments in this class will be sold at an amount different from the NAV of the Company’s ownership interest in partners’ capital. Therefore, the fair values of the investments in this class have been estimated using recent observable information such as audited financial statements and/or statements of partners’ capital obtained directly from investees on a quarterly or other regular basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company received distributions of approximately $217,000 from this type of investment primarily from investments in diversified businesses and real estate. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 the Company made contributions totaling $23,000 in this type of investment. As of March 31, 2013, the amount of the Company’s unfunded commitments related to the aforementioned investments is approximately $749,000.

 

(b)   Other investments above which are measured on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 unobservable inputs consist of investments primarily in commercial real estate in Florida through private partnerships and two investments in the stock of private banks in Florida and Texas. The Company does not know when it will have the ability to redeem the investments and has categorized them as a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Level 3 real estate and related investments of approximately $953,000 include one investment in a commercial building located near the Company’s offices purchased in 2005 with a carrying value as of March 31, 2013 of $724,000. These investments are measured using primarily inputs provided by the managing member of the partnerships with whom the Company has done similar transactions in the past and is well known to management. The fair values of these real estate investments have been estimated using the net asset value of the Company’s ownership interest in partners’ capital. The investments in private bank stocks include a private bank and trust located in Coral Gables, Florida in the amount of $250,000 made in 2009, and a $50,000 investment in a bank located in El Campo, Texas made in 2010. The fair values of these bank stock investments have been estimated using the cost method less distributions received and other than temporary impairments. This investment is valued using inputs provided by the management of the banks.

 

There was no activity investments classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

7. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company (excluding CII) qualifies as a real estate investment trust and distributes its taxable ordinary income to stockholders in conformity with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and is not required to report deferred items due to its ability to distribute all taxable income. In addition, net operating losses can be carried forward to reduce future taxable income but cannot be carried back. Distributed capital gains on sales of real estate as they relate to REIT activities are not subject to taxes; however, undistributed capital gains may be subject to corporate tax.

 

As of March 31, 2013 the Company (excluding CII) had an estimated net operating loss carryover of approximately $4.9 million which is available to partially offset 2013 REIT taxable income generated from gains realized from discontinued operations in 2013. The estimated REIT tax capital gain from the sale of real estate interests in 2013 is $14.8 million. The Company has not determined when and what if any dividend distribution will be made that could fully or partially offset any REIT taxable income.

 

8
 

 

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

 

As of March 31, 2013 CII has an estimated net operating loss carryover of approximately $1.3 million which is available to partially offset 2013 CII taxable income generated primarily from capital gains realized from the sale of real estate interests in 2013. After utilization of net operating loss carryover, CII has estimated a current provision for state and federal income taxes of $839,000.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes". ASC Topic 740 requires a Company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred taxes only pertain to CII. As a result of timing differences associated with the carrying value of other investments and depreciable assets and the future benefit of a net operating loss, the Company has recorded a net deferred tax asset as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of $173,000 and $698,000, respectively. This decrease of $525,000 is a deferred tax expense and was primarily the result of the utilization of CII net operating loss carryover of $471,000 and a net decrease in investments with tax basis in excess of book of $ 54,000 .

 

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income consists of the following:

  

Quarter ended March 31,  2013   2012 
Current:          
Federal  $676,000     
State   163,000     
    839,000     
Deferred:          
Federal  $472,000   $(60,000)
State   53,000    (6,000)
    525,000    (66,000)
Total  $1,364,000   $(66,000)

 

We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” on January 1, 2007. This topic clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Topic 740-10 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our consolidated financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of March 31, 2013.

 

We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the consolidated financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.

EXPENSES

 

Expenses for rental and other properties for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 relate solely to the operating of the Company’s corporate office leased to the Adviser. The decrease in rental and related operating expenses of approximately $20,000 was primarily due to non recurring repairs and maintenance in 2012.

 

Professional fees and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared with the same period in 2012 increased by approximately $56,000 (or 457%) was due to increased accounting fees due to change in accrual method in 2012.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Grove Isle Associates, LLLP was a co-defendant in two lawsuits in the circuit court in Miami Dade County Florida. These cases arose from claims by a condominium association and resident seeking a declaratory judgment regarding certain provisions of the declaration of condominium relating to the Grove Isle Club and the developer. The claim by the association has been dismissed as to all counts related to the Company; however the association has filed an appeal.  Pursuant to an agreement dated February 25, 2013 in which the company sold its interests in Grove Isle Associates, LLLP the company will continue to defend the lawsuit in the event the appellate court reverses the dismissal and will indemnify the purchaser for any related judgment. The ultimate outcome of this litigation cannot presently be determined. However, in management’s opinion the likelihood of a material adverse outcome is remote. Accordingly, adjustments, if any that might result from the resolution of this matter have not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
