| 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, 2013, 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, 2014 and 2013. 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, 2013. | |
| LIQUIDITY | |
| The Company had a net loss of $1.2 million and reported negative cash flows from operations of $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company had an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $4.7 million and a stockholders’ deficiency of $27.7 million at September 30, 2014. | |
| The Company has outstanding borrowings under two credit facilities that have financial covenants requiring among other things, a minimum of $3 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 collateral for borrowings under these credit facilities. Both facilities mature on August 1, 2016. | |
| 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, absent the sale of some of its real estate holdings or refinancing, the Company does not expect to be able to pay the outstanding balances of its credit facilities on their maturity dates. | |
| 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 summarized 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’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. | |
| Certain amounts in the December 31, 2013 balance sheet were reclassified to conform to the September 30, 2014 balance sheet presentation. Such amounts had no impact on total assets, liabilities, or stockholders’ deficiency as previously reported. |

| Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed similar to basic net loss per 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. | |||||||||||||||||
| 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, 2014, assets held for sale consisted of a 620-acre parcel in Upcountry Maui and an unimproved 244-acre parcel of former agricultural land located in West Maui commonly known as Lipoa Point. | |
| On October 9, 2014, the Company sold Lipoa Point to the State of Hawaii for $19.8 million. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $19.3 million, which will be included in the Company’s operating results for the quarter ending December 31, 2014. The sale is further described in Note 11. | |
| At December 31, 2013, assets held for sale consisted of a 4-acre parcel and building that serves as the maintenance facility for the Kapalua Plantation Golf Course. In May 2014, the Company sold the property for $2.3 million and recognized a gain of $1.5 million. The Company utilized $1.9 million of the sale proceeds to release an approximately 1.1 acre property and building in the Kapalua Resort, commonly known as the Honolua Store, from the collateral held under its Wells Fargo credit facility and $0.4 million of the proceeds to repay its term loan with American AgCredit. | |
| 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. |

Interest on borrowings is at LIBOR plus 3.65% and the line of credit is collateralized by approximately 880 acres of the Company’s real estate holdings at the Kapalua Resort. In connection with entering into its First Hawaiian Bank credit agreement, the Company made a $1.9 million paydown to release the Honolua Store from the collateral held under this facility.

| AMERICAN AGCREDIT | |||||||||
| The Company has a $20 million term loan with American AgCredit that matures on August 1, 2016. Interest on this credit facility is based on the greater of 1.00% or the 30-day LIBOR rate, plus an applicable spread of 4.00% and provides for a reduction in the applicable spread to 3.75% if the principal balance of the loan is reduced to $15 million.

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 $3 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 mandatory principal repayments based on predetermined percentages of 60% to 75% of the net proceeds from the sale 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 of the term loan on the maturity date. | |||||||||

| 8. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | |
| In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU supersedes the previous revenue recognition guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, and requires that an entity use the defined five step process to recognize revenue. The ASU also requires additional disclosures and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early implementation is not permitted. Upon adoption, the Company will have the option of retrospectively applying the guidance to each reporting period presented with certain practical expedients or retrospectively reporting the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU at the date of initial application with additional disclosure requirements. The Company has not yet determined the effect this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. | |
| In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation – Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition under the existing guidance of ASC Topic 718, as it relates to vesting of such awards. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award, and compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amendments can be applied prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance. The ASU will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. | |
| In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements –Going Concern. This ASU requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions or events that are reasonably knowable at the date the financial statements are issued. The ASU will be effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. |

Estimated forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances. Executive officers and management were awarded incentive bonuses totaling $218,000 and $133,100 in February 2014 and 2013, respectively, based on meeting certain performance metrics included in the Company’s Executive and Key Management Compensation Plan.

| On January 1, 2010, pension benefits were frozen for salaried employees covered under Non-Bargaining Plan.

| The Company’s cessation of its pineapple operations at the end of 2009 and the corresponding reduction in the active participant count for the Bargaining Plan triggered the requirement that the Company provide the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) 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 approximately 1,400 acres of former agricultural lands 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 1,400 acres was performed by the Company or the PBGC in connection with the settlement 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 Non-Bargaining Plan triggered the requirement that the Company provide additional collateral 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 approximately 7,000 acres of former agricultural lands 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 or the PBGC in connection with the settlement agreement. | |||||||||||||||||
| At September 30, 2014, the Company’s pension plans were underfunded by $20.3 million. | |||||||||||||||||
| On October 9, 2014, the Company sold its Lipoa Point property to the State of Hawaii for $19.8 million. The sale resulted from a bill enacted by the State of Hawaii in June 2013 which provided for the purchase of Lipoa Point with the stipulation that the proceeds from the sale be designated for the benefit of the Company’s pension plans. The Lipoa Point property was part of the 7,000 acres of former agricultural lands pledged to the PBGC. | |||||||||||||||||
| Upon the closing of the Lipoa Point sale, the $19.8 million sale price, less closing costs of approximately $400,000, was transferred to the trustee of the Company’s pension plans and the mortgage on the property held by the PBGC was released. With the funding of the Company’s pension plans from the Lipoa Point sale, the Company does not expect to be required to make minimum contributions to its pension plans for the foreseeable future. Such contributions totaled $2.1 million and $2.8 million for 2013 and 2014, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||

| The effective tax rate for 2014 and 2013 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. | |
| In April 2013, the Company and the Internal Revenue Service (“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 $1.2 million was paid as of September 30, 2014. |

| On April 19, 2011, a lawsuit was filed against the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd. (“MPC”) and several other Hawaii based farms by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”). The lawsuit alleged the farms should be held liable for illegal acts by Global Horizons, Inc., a company that had hired Thai workers to work at the farms. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, District of Hawaii, as Civil Action No. 11-00257. On June 13, 2013, the EEOC filed a motion to add as defendants Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and Hali’imaile Pineapple Company, Ltd. On September 10, 2013, the Court denied the EEOC’s motion. On June 30, 2014, in light of MPC’s inability to fund its defense, the parties entered into a stipulated default judgment in favor of the EEOC and against MPC. MPC is unable to estimate the amount, or range of amounts, of any liability related to this matter. | |
| 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, 2014 has recorded a reserve for environmental liability of $59,000. 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. | |
| The Company has been named along with multiple parties in lawsuits filed by owners of units and fractional interests in the project formerly known as The Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, Kapalua Bay. The lawsuits were filed in the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit, State of Hawaii on May 23, 2011, June 7, 2012, and June 19, 2013. The lawsuits allege deceptive acts, intentional misrepresentation, concealment, and negligent misrepresentation, among other allegations and seek unspecified damages, treble damages and other relief. The Company disagrees with the allegations and is defending itself. The Company is presently unable to estimate the amount, or range of amounts, of any probable liability, if any, related to this matter and no provision has been made in the accompanying condensed 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. |

| 15. 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $49,676,000 and $49,000,000, respectively, which approximated fair value. The fair value of cash and debt was determined using level 1 and level 2 measurements, respectively. |
