This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) and other reports filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 relate to future events or our future financial performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

We caution you that the foregoing list may not include all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly 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 Quarterly Report. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

15.         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 without a hearing date while the Company continues working on a previously approved corrective action plan to resolve and remediate the facility’s wastewater effluent issues. Continued testing of wastewater effluent consistently returns results within the allowable ranges. No hearing date has been set as discussions with the DOH are still ongoing to address any other matters regarding the Order. Approximately $23,000 was accrued for the administrative penalty at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is presently unable to estimate the remaining amount, or range of amounts, of any probable liability, if any, related to the Order and no additional provision has been made in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 financial position or results of operations after consultation with legal counsel.

16.         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.

17.         RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD ADOPTED

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 to update the methodology used to measure current expected credit losses (“CECL”). Thislosses. The ASU applesapplies 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. This ASUThe guidance requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to explain credit loss estimates. The guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings/(accumulated deficit) in the period of adoption. ASU 2019-10 was subsequently issued delaying the effective date to the first quarter of 2023. Management is in the process of assessing the impactThe application of the ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10 as an update of ASC Topic 832 to increase the transparency of government assistance received by a business entity, including disclosure of the types of transactions, the accounting for those transactions, and the effect of those transactions on its financial statements. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

 

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 20212022 (our “Annual Report") and the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report.Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”). The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements below. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences in our actual results include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and those discussed elsewhere within this Quarterly Report, particularly in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”  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

 

Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. wasis a HawaiiDelaware corporation at December 31, 2021 and the successor to a business organized in 1909. The Company consists of a landholding and operating parent company, its principal subsidiary, Kapalua Land Company, Ltd. and certain other subsidiaries of the Company.

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 principal reasons to reincorporate were: 1) the predictability, flexibility, and responsiveness of Delaware law, 2) access to specialized courts, and 3) the enhanced ability to attract and retain qualified candidates for our Board of Directors and management. 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 include 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 as each outstanding share of common stock was automatically converted into one share of the reincorporated 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.”

 

We own approximately 22,000 acres of land on the island of Maui, Hawaii and develop, sell, and manage residential, resort, commercial, agricultural and industrial real estate through the following business segments:

 

• Real Estate—Our real estate operations consist of land planning and entitlement, development and sales activities.

 

• Leasing—Our leasing operations include residential, resort, commercial, agricultural and industrial land and property leases, and licensing of our registered trademarks and trade names. This operating segment also includes the management of ditch, reservoir, and well systems in West and Upcountry Maui and the stewardship of watershed conservation areas.

 

• Resort Amenities—We manage the operations of the Kapalua Club, a private, non-equity club program providing our members special programs, access and other privileges at certain amenities at the Kapalua Resort.

 

We continue to monitor the effects

There were no sales of real estate during the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively.

In June 2022, we sold for $2.0 million approximately 50 acres in West Maui to the County of Maui for development of a regional park.

In February 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell a 646-acre parcel of agricultural land in Upcountry Maui. Terms of the agreement, as amended, included a purchase price of $9.6 million, a diligence period ending on May 16, 2022, and other customary closing conditions. On May 20, 2022, net proceeds of $9.2 million were collected upon closing.

In June 2021, we entered into an agreement with a local buyer to sell and grant to a conservation organization a perpetual, non-exclusive conservation easement. The conservation easement included approximately 791 acres of unimproved land in Honolua Valley, Maui, Hawaii. We collected proceeds of approximately $0.9 million upon closing.

In May 2021, we sold the property commonly known as the Steeple House located in the Kapalua Resort for $1.7 million. The sale included the fee simple interest of the 1.1-acre parcel as well as buildings and improvements located on the property.

 

In December 2021, the Companywe entered into an agreement to sell the Kapalua Central Resort project for $40.0 million. On May 13, 2022, terms of the agreement were amended to include a closing condition requiring the Maui Planning Commission to approve a (5) five-year extension of a Special Management Area (SMA) permit issued by the County of Maui byMaui. We allowed the agreement to expire on April 10, 2023. If11, 2023 as development plans for the extension is not approved by April 10, 2023,Company’s real estate holdings will be reviewed and evaluated in connection with optimizing the purchase agreementplanning of our Kapalua properties in conjunction with our leadership transition. We will terminate. The amendment also allowscontinue to manage the buyer to spend $290,000 of the initial $300,000 escrowed deposit on costs related to the extensionapplication process of the SMA permit. Ifpermit extension for the extension is approved, the closing date is expected to be no later than (30) thirty days after the date of the extension approval.Central Resort project.

 

There were no significant real estate development expenditures during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

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 business segment. Uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and macroeconomic market conditions, including increases in interest rates and fears of a recession, may reduce demand for real estate and impair prospective purchasers’ ability to obtain financing, which would adversely affect revenues from our real estate operations.

The Kapalua Club does not operate any resort amenities and the dues collected are primarily used to pay the contracted fees for member access to the spa, beach club, golf courses and other resort amenities.

 

The decreaseannual increase in operating revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,Kapalua Club dues rates was due tooffset by lower membership counts.

The increase in operating costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, was primarily due to higher golf course fees chargedbilled to the Company.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The increase in general and administrative costs and share-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 is attributable to expenses related to the transition of director and management personnel of the Company. All outstanding stock grants of the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer became fully vested upon his resignation. As a result, share-based compensation expense of $0.7 million was recognized at March 31, 2023.

We intend to hold our real estate sales in the second quarter of this year.bond securities until maturity.

 

At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, $15.0 million was available from our revolving line of credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with First Hawaiian Bank (“Bank”). The Credit Facility, which matures on December 31, 2025, provides for revolving or term loan borrowing options. Interest on revolving loan borrowings is calculated using 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. We have 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.

 

We were in compliance with the covenants under theof our Credit Facility at September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. If economic conditions are negatively impacted in future periods, we may borrow under our Credit Facility.

 

Cash Flows

 

Net cash flow provided by our operating activities was approximately $6.1$0.7 million for the ninethree months ending September 30, 2022.ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022

No contributions are required to be made to our defined benefit pension plan in 2023. In August 2022, we made a $5.7 million voluntary contribution to the defined benefit pension plan. No further contributions are required to be made to the plan in 2022.

 

Future Cash Inflows and OutflowsCapital Resources

 

Our business initiatives include investing in our operating infrastructure, continued planning and entitlement efforts on our development projects. This may require borrowing under our Credit Facility or other indebtedness, repayment of which may be dependent on selling of our real estate assets at acceptable prices in condensed timeframes. We believe that our cash on-hand and cash received from operations, together with borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility, will provide sufficient financial flexibility to meet working capital requirements and to fund capital expenditures through the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.

 

Our indebtedness, if drawn upon, could have the effect of, among other things, increasing our exposure to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry, and limiting our ability to borrow additional funds.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires the use of accounting estimates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein. For additional information regarding our critical accounting policies, see the section entitled “Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” contained within our Annual Report. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies.

 

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We have no material exposure to changes in interest rates related to our borrowing and investing activities used to maintain liquidity and to fund business operations. We have no material exposure to foreign currency risks.

 

We are subject to potential changes in consumer behavior and regulatory risks through travel and social distancing restrictions due to our location as a vacation destination. Potential deferrals and abatements may impact our rental income.

 

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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report. Based upon the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal 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.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)) during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
