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, 2016. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or 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, 2016 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. 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 fair 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. Included in investments in marketable securities is approximately $6.1 million and $6.2 million, of large capital real estate investment trusts (REITs) as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Net realized and unrealized (loss) gain from investments in marketable securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is summarized below:

 

		Three months ended June 30,								Six months ended June 30,
Description		2017				2016				2017				2016
Net realized (loss) gain from sales of securities		$	(71,000	)		$	31,000			$	(89,000	)		$	(17,000	)
Unrealized net gain in trading securities			175,000				361,000				320,000				572,000
Total net gain from investments in marketable securities		$	104,000			$	391,000			$	231,000			$	555,000

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, net realized loss from sales of marketable securities was approximately $71,000, and consisted of approximately $98,000 of gross losses and $27,000 of gross gains. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net realized loss from sales of marketable securities was approximately $89,000, and consisted of approximately $182,000 of gross losses net of $93,000 of gross gains.

 

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, net realized gain from sales of marketable securities was approximately $31,000, and consisted of approximately $116,000 of gross gains and $85,000 of gross losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net realized loss from sales of marketable securities was approximately $17,000, and consisted of approximately $212,000 of gross gains net of $229,000 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.

 

4. INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIP

 

In September 2014, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary (HMG Orlando LLC, a Delaware limited liability company), acquired a one-third equity membership interest in JY-TV Associates, LLC a Florida limited liability company (“JY-TV”) and entered into the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of JY-TV (the “Agreement”). On May 19, 2015, pursuant to the terms of a Construction Loan Agreement, between JY-TV Associates LLC (“JY-TV” or the “Borrower”, which is one-third owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and Wells Fargo Bank ("Lender"), Lender loaned to the Borrower the principal sum of $27 million pursuant to a senior secured construction loan ("Loan"). The proceeds of the Loan were used to finance the previously reported construction of multi-family residential apartments containing 240 units totaling approximately 239,000 net rentable square feet on a 9.5-acre site located in Orlando, Florida ("Project"). The Project is approximately 97% leased. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 JY-TV reported a net loss of approximately $457,000, which includes depreciation and amortization expense of $777,000 and interest expense of $573,000. The Company’s portion of that loss is approximately $153,000. In March 2017, JY-TV distributed $390,000 to its members. The Company’s portion of that distribution was $130,000.

 

The Company and certain affiliates of the other two members of the Borrower ("Guarantors") entered into a Completion Guaranty Agreement ("Completion Guaranty") and a Repayment Guaranty Agreement ("Repayment Guaranty") (collectively, the “Guaranties”) with the Lender. Under the Completion Guaranty, Guarantors shall unconditionally guaranty, on a joint and several bases, lien free completion of all improvements with respect to the Project and any construction or completion obligations required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to any approved leases. Under the Repayment Guaranty, Guarantors shall provide an unconditional guaranty including the repayment of $11.5 million of the principal balance of the Loan, repayment of all accrued but unpaid interest and payment of any other sums payable under any of the Loan Agreement. Each Guarantor is required to maintain compliance at all times with certain financial covenants, as defined. As of June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. The construction loan matures on May 19, 2018.

 

5. OTHER INVESTMENTS

 

As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s portfolio of other investments had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $5.8 million and we have committed to further fund approximately $1.8 million as required by agreements with the investees. The carrying value of these investments is equal to contributions less distributions and loss valuation adjustments, if any.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we made contributions to other investments of approximately $1 million, including three new investments totaling $725,000 in contributions and $275,000 in follow on contributions to existing investments. The new investments primarily consist of an investment in a partnership owning multi-family residential real estate in Atlanta, Georgia for $400,000, and $250,000 in a partnership owning a mortgage secured by property being developed in Hollywood, Florida.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we received distributions from other investments of approximately $763,000, including $368,000 from one investment in a partnership owning one stock which was purchased in February 2016 for $250,000 and stock was sold in March 2017 at a gain of $118,000. The other distributions were primarily from real estate and related investments.

 

 

Net income from other investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, is summarized below:

 

		Three months ended June 30,								Six months ended June 30,
Description		2017				2016				2017				2016
Partnerships owning diversified businesses		$	37,000			$	13,000			$	179,000			$	44,000
Partnerships owning real estate and related			24,000				57,000				127,000				63,000
Income from investment in 49% owned affiliate (T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc.)			8,000				9,000				42,000				9,000
Total net income from other investments		$	69,000			$	79,000			$	348,000			$	116,000

 

The following tables present gross unrealized losses and fair values for those investments that were in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, aggregated by investment category and the length of time that investments have been in a continuous loss position:

 

		As of June 30, 2017
		12 Months or Less								Greater than 12 Months								Total

Total		$	649,000			$	(41,000	)		$	-			$	-			$	649,000			$	(41,000	)

 

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 there were no impairment valuation adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

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

 

The following are the major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis during as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) and significant other observable inputs (Level 2). For the periods presented, there were no major assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis which uses significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

 

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

 

		Fair value measurement at reporting date using
Description		Total June 30, 2017				Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)				Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)				Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for corporate debt securities and time deposits based on a market-based approach using observable (Level 2) inputs such as prices of similar assets in active markets.

 

7. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company as a qualifying real estate investment trust (“REIT”) 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.

 

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

 

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 of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company has recorded a net deferred tax liability of $76,000 as a result of timing differences associated with the carrying value of the investment in affiliate (TGIF) and other investments. CII’s NOL carryover to 2018 is estimated at $1 million expiring beginning in 2028 and has been fully reserved due to CII historically having tax losses.

 

The provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income consists of the following:

 

Six months ended June 30,		2017				2016
Current:
Federal		$	-			$	20,000
State			-				-
			-				20,000
Deferred:

State			7,000				5,000
			66,000				47,000
Decreased valuation allowance			(66,000	)			(47,000	)
Total		$	-			$	20,000

 

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 740, 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. This topic 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, 2016. The Company’s federal income tax returns since 2013 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for a period of three years after the returns were filed.

 

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.
