NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
(UNAUDITED)
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, collectively, the “Company”) in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“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 year ended December 31, 2022, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes to the annual audited consolidated financial statements required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
On June 29, 2022, the Company’s shareholders voted to approve a proposal to change the state of incorporation of the Company from Hawaii to Delaware. The reincorporation was effected through a plan of conversion completed on July 18, 2022. Total authorized capital stock provided by the Delaware certificate of incorporation includes 48,000,000 shares, consisting of 43,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. No change in ownership resulted from the reincorporation as each outstanding share of common stock was automatically converted into one share of the newly established Company. The name of the Company after reincorporation remains Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and shares of common stock continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “MLP.”

Land
Most of the Company’s over 22,000 acres of land were acquired between 1911 and 1932 and are carried in its condensed consolidated balance sheets at cost. More than 20,400 acres of land are located in West Maui and comprise a largely contiguous collection of parcels which extend from the ocean to an elevation of approximately 5,700 feet. The West Maui landholdings include approximately 900 acres within the Kapalua Resort, a master-planned, destination resort and residential community. The Company’s remaining approximately 1,500 acres of land are located in Upcountry Maui in an area commonly known as Hali’imaile and are mainly comprised of leased agricultural fields, commercial and light industrial properties.
Land Improvements
Land improvements are comprised primarily of roads, utilities, and landscaping infrastructure improvements at the Kapalua Resort. Also included is the Company’s potable and non-potable water systems in West Maui. The majority of the Company’s land improvements were constructed and placed in service in the mid-to-late 1970’s or conveyed in 2017. Depreciation expense would be considerably higher if these assets were stated at current replacement cost.
Buildings
Buildings are comprised of restaurant, retail and light industrial spaces located at the Kapalua Resort and Hali’imaile which are used in the Company’s leasing operations. The majority of the Company’s buildings were constructed and placed in service in the mid-to-late 1970’s. Depreciation expense would be considerably higher if these assets were stated at current replacement cost.
Machinery and Equipment
Machinery and equipment are mainly comprised of zipline course equipment installed in 2008 at the Kapalua Resort and used in the Company’s leasing operations.
Assets held for sale consisted of the 46-acre Central Resort project located in Kapalua. In December 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Kapalua Central Resort project for $40.0 million. Terms of the agreement were subsequently amended to include a closing condition requiring the Maui Planning Commission to approve a five-year extension of a Special Management Area (“SMA”) permit issued by the County of Maui. The Company allowed the agreement with the buyer to expire on April 11, 2023. The application for the extension of the SMA permit will be managed by the Company.
The above assets held for sale have not been pledged as collateral under the Company’s credit facility.

CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
|
Receivables from contracts with customers were $0.4 million and $0.3 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Deferred club membership revenue
The Company manages the operations of the Kapalua Club, a private, non-equity club program providing members special programs, access and other privileges at certain of the amenities within the Kapalua Resort. Deferred revenues from dues received from the private club membership program are recognized on a straight-line basis over one year. Revenue recognized for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0.2 million.
Deferred license fee revenue
The Company entered into a trademark license agreement with the owner of the Kapalua Plantation and Bay golf courses, effective April 1, 2020. Under the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement, the licensee is granted a perpetual, terminable on default, transferable, non-exclusive license to use the Company’s trademarks and service marks to promote its golf courses and to sell its licensed products. The Company received a single royalty payment of $2.0 million in March 2020. Revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over its estimated economic useful life of 15 years was $33,000 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Escrowed deposits

Long-term debt is comprised of amounts outstanding under the Company’s $15.0 million revolving line of credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with First Hawaiian Bank (“Bank”) maturing on December 31, 2025. The Credit Facility provides options for revolving or term loan borrowing. Interest on revolving loan borrowing is based on the Bank’s prime rate minus 1.125 percentage points. Interest on term loan borrowing is fixed at the Bank’s commercial loan rates with interest rate swap options available. The Company has pledged approximately 30,000 square feet of commercial leased space in the Kapalua Resort as security for the Credit Facility. Net proceeds from the sale of any collateral are required to be repaid toward outstanding borrowings and will permanently reduce the Credit Facility’s revolving commitment amount. There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the Credit Facility.
The terms of the Credit Facility include various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. Financial covenants include a minimum liquidity (as defined) of $2.0 million, a maximum of $45.0 million in total liabilities, and a limitation on new indebtedness.
The outstanding balance of the Credit Facility was zero at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2023.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
|
On December 31, 2018, the State of Hawaii Department of Health (“DOH”) issued a Notice and Finding of Violation and Order (“Order”) for alleged wastewater effluent violations related to the Company’s Upcountry Maui wastewater treatment facility. The facility was built in the 1960’s to serve approximately 200 single-family homes developed for workers in the Company’s former agricultural operations. The facility is made up of two 1.5-acre wastewater stabilization ponds and surrounding disposal leach fields. The Order includes, among other requirements, payment of a $230,000 administrative penalty and development of a new wastewater treatment plant, which become final and binding – unless a hearing is requested to contest the alleged violations and penalties.
The DOH agreed to defer the Order as the Company continues to work to resolve and remediate the facility’s wastewater effluent issues through an approved corrective action plan. The construction of additional leach fields and installations of a surface aerator, sludge removal system, and natural pond cover using water plants were completed. Test results from wastewater monitoring continues to reflect effluent concentration amounts within allowable ranges. An administrative hearing date has been scheduled for July 2023.
There are various other claims and legal actions pending against the Company. The resolution of these other matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial position or results of operations after consultation with legal counsel.
The Company leases land primarily to agriculture operators and space in commercial buildings, primarily to restaurant and retail tenants through 2048. These operating leases generally provide for minimum rents and, in some cases, licensing fees, percentage rentals based on tenant revenues, and reimbursement of common area maintenance and other expenses. Certain leases allow the lessee an option to extend or terminate the agreement. There are no leases allowing a lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset. Leasing income subject to ASC Topic 842 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
|
The Company’s directors and certain members of management receive a portion of their compensation in shares of the Company’s common stock granted under the Company’s 2017 Equity and Incentive Award Plan (“Equity Plan”). Share-based compensation is valued based on the average of the high and low share price on the date of grant. Shares are issued upon execution of agreements reflecting the grantee’s acceptance of the respective shares subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Plan. Restricted shares issued under the Equity Plan vest quarterly and have voting and regular dividend rights but cannot be disposed of until such time as they are vested. All unvested restricted shares are forfeited upon the grantee’s termination of directorship or employment from the Company.
Share-based compensation is determined and awarded annually to the Company’s certain members of management based on their achievement of certain predefined performance goals and objectives under the Equity Plan. Such share-based compensation is comprised of an annual incentive paid in shares of common stock and a long-term incentive paid in restricted shares vesting quarterly over a period of three years.
Share-based compensation expense totaled $1.0 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Included in these amounts were $0.8 million and $0.3 million of restricted common stock vested during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
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. The Company’s provision for income taxes is calculated using the liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for all temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates enacted by law or regulation. A full valuation allowance was established for deferred income tax assets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE – BASIC AND DILUTED
|
Basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were 19.5 million and 19.4 million, respectively.
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed similar to basic net income per common 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.

|
REPORTABLE OPERATING SEGMENTS
|
The Company’s reportable operating segments are comprised of the discrete business units whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer – its chief decision maker – in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources and by the Board of Directors. Reportable operating segments are as follows:
|
•
|
Real Estate includes the planning, entitlement, development, and sale of real estate inventory.
|
|
•
|
Leasing 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 watershed conservation activities. The operating segment also includes the revenues and expenses from 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.
|
The Company’s reportable operating segment results are measured based on operating income (loss), exclusive of interest, depreciation, general and administrative, and share-based compensation.
Reportable operating segment revenues and income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

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 unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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 Company considers all cash on hand to be unrestricted cash for the purposes of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The fair value of 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.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD ADOPTED
|
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 to update the methodology used to measure current expected credit losses. The ASU applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases, and trade accounts receivable as well as certain off-balance sheet exposures, such as loan commitments. The guidance requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to explain credit loss estimates. ASU 2019-10 was subsequently issued delaying the effective date to the first quarter of 2023. The application of the ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
