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-QSB, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the 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, 2002. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. ------------------------------------ In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This Statement requires the recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when the liability is incurred versus the date the Company commits to an exit plan. In addition, this Statement states the liability should be initially measured at fair value. The Statement is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The primary effect to the Company's financial statements would be in the timing of accounting recognition of potential future exit activities. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure. This statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent and frequent disclosures in the financials statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. The transitional guidance and annual disclosure provisions of this Statement is effective for the December 31, 2002 financial statements. The interim reporting disclosures requirements were effective beginning with the Company's March 31, 2003 10-QSB. Because the Company continues to account for employee stock-based compensation under APB opinion No. 25, the transitional guidance of SFAS No. 148 has no effect on the financial statements at this time. There was no pro forma effect for stock based compensation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. (4) HMG/COURTLAND PROPERTIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) During April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149 - "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except as stated below and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. In addition, except as stated below, all provisions of this Statement should be applied prospectively. The provisions of this Statement that relate to Statement 133 Implementation Issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003, should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates. In addition, paragraphs 7(a) and 23(a), which relate to forward purchases or sales of then-issued securities or other securities that do not yet exist, should be applied to both existing contracts and new contracts entered into after June 30, 2003. The Company does not participate in such transactions, however, is evaluating the effect of this new pronouncement, if any, and will adopt FASB 149 within the prescribed time. During May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150 - "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity", effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a freestanding financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Some of the provisions of this Statement are consistent with the current definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, "Elements of Financial Statements". The Company does not participate in such transactions however, is evaluating the effect of this new pronouncement, if any, and will adopt FASB 150 within the prescribed time. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annul financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. The Interpretation also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (" FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities ("VIE's") created after January 31, 2003, and to VIE's in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to VIE's in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. FIN 46 applies to public enterprises as of the beginning of the applicable interim or annual period. We are evaluating the effects, if any the adoption of FIN 46 may have on the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. (5) HMG/COURTLAND PROPERTIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) 3. GAIN ON SALES OF PROPERTIES ------------------------------- For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 Grove Isle Yacht Club Associates (GIYCA) sold three yacht slips located in Miami, Florida resulting in a total net gain to the Company of approximately $105,000. In September 2003, The Grove Towne Center-Texas, Ltd (TGTC) sold approximately 5 acres of vacant land in Houston, Texas resulting in a net gain to the Company of approximately $281,000. 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 gain (loss) from investments in marketable securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 is summarized below: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, ---------------------------------- ------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------- Description 2003 2002 2003 2002 ------------------------------------- ---------------------- ------------------ --------------- ----------------- Net realized gain (loss) from sales $178,942 ($489,629) $103,658 ($389,242) of securities Unrealized net (loss) gain in trading securities (3,169) (87,090) 410,727 (739,428) Net change in sales of securities pending delivery 14,853 41,654 (23,904) (161,570) ---------------------- ------------------ --------------- ----------------- Total net gain (loss) $190,626 ($535,065) $490,481 ($1,290,240) ====================== ================== =============== ================= For the three months ended September 30, 2003 net realized gain from sales of marketable securities of approximately $179,000 consisted of approximately $199,000 of gross gains net of approximately $20,000 of gross losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 net realized gain from sales of marketable securities of approximately $104,000 consisted of approximately $328,000 of gross gains net of approximately $224,000 of gross gains. For the three months ended September 30, 2002 net realized loss from sales of marketable securities of approximately $490,000 consisted of approximately $82,000 of gross gains net of $572,000 of gross losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 net realized loss from sales of marketable securities of approximately $389,000 consisted of approximately $583,000 of gross gains net of $972,000 of gross losses. Net change in sales of securities pending delivery represents the changes in the market value of those securities and the delivery of securities to realize gain or loss from these transactions. In September 2003, the Company covered all remaining short sales utilizing stock distributions from investments in one venture capital fund. The Company realized a gain on short sales covered for the three months ended September 30, 2003 of approximately $192,000. This amount is included in the realized gain on sale of securities described above. (6) HMG/COURTLAND PROPERTIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) 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 September 30, 2003, the Company has committed to invest approximately $11.9 million in other investments primarily in private capital funds, of which approximately $10.2 million has been funded. The carrying value of other investments (which reflects distributions and valuation adjustments) is approximately $5.4 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company has made contributions to existing and new investments of approximately $300,000 and $561,000, respectively, and has received approximately $433,000 and $839,000, respectively, in distributions from other investments. The distributions in 2003 primarily consisted of one return of capital distribution in the amount of $567,000 from an investment in a partnership which sold one of its operating businesses and distributed the proceeds to its partners and $133,000 distributed from a partnership which sold an investment in real estate. Net loss from other investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, is summarized below: Three Months Ended September30, Nine Months Ended September 30, ---------------------------------- -------------------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 ----------------- ---------------- -------------- ----------------- Real estate development and $ -- $3,000 $138,000 $16,000 operation Technology related funds (114,000) (122,000) (114,000) (180,000) Income from investment in 49% owned affiliate (T.G.I.F.

As of September 30, 2003 the amount due from the Adviser is approximately $245,000. (7) 7. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE ----------------------------------------- Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 are computed as follows: For the three months ended For the nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2003 2002 2003 2002 Basic: ---- ---- ---- ---- Net Income (loss) $130,324 ($437,700) ($25,198) ($916,581) Weighted average shares outstanding 1,089,135 1,089,135 1,089,135 1,089,135 ------------------------------------------------------------- Basic earnings (loss) per share $0.12 ($0.40) ($0.02) ($0.84) ============================================================= Diluted: -------- Net Income (loss) $130,324 ($437,700) ($25,198) ($916,581) Weighted average shares outstanding 1,089,135 1,089,135 1,089,135 1,089,135 Plus incremental shares from assumed conversion: Stock options 8,192 -- 6,726 -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Diluted weighted average common shares 1,097,327 1,089,135 1,095,861 1,089,135 ------------------------------------------------------------- Diluted earnings (loss) per share $0.12 ($0.40) ($0.02) ($0.84) ============================================================= The effect of 86,000 options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. (8) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- The Company reported net income of approximately $130,000 (or $.12 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and a net loss of approximately $25,000 (or $.02 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This is as compared with a net loss of approximately $438,000 (or $.40 per share) and $917,000 (or $.84 per share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. Total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared with the same periods in 2002, increased by approximately $810,000 and $2 million, respectively. Total expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared with the same periods in 2002, increased by approximately $108,000 (or 14%) and $278,000 (or 12%), respectively. Gain on sales of properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 was approximately $308,000 and $386,000, respectively, as compared with gains of approximately $63,000 and $434,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002.

See discussion in Note 4 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited). Net loss from other investments for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was approximately $106,000, as compared with a net loss from other investments of approximately $118,000 for the same three month period in 2002. Net gain from other investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was approximately $41,000, as compared with a net loss from other investments of approximately $157,000 for the same nine month period in 2002.See discussion in Note 5 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited). Interest and dividend income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 was approximately $79,000 and $209,000, respectively, as compared with approximately $56,000 and $207,000, respectively, for the same three and nine month comparable periods in 2002. The increase in the three month comparable periods of approximately $23,000 (or 41%) was primarily due to an increase in the number of investments in the portfolio that yielded interest and dividends, primarily increased investments in bonds. EXPENSES Rental and other properties expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 remained consistent with that of the same comparable periods in 2002.

(9) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) Adviser's base fee increased by $60,000 and $180,000 (or 36%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, as compared with the same periods in 2002. As previously disclosed, this was as a result of a shareholder-approved contractual increase in the Adviser's base fee. This amendment increased the annual Adviser base fee from $660,000 to $900,000 effective January 1, 2003. General and Administrative expenses increase by approximately $17,000 (or 31%) and $43,000 (or 25%), respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared with the same comparable periods in 2002. These increases between the nine month comparable periods were primarily attributable to payroll and related expense of approximately $24,000, increased travel and meals and entertainment expenses of approximately $10,000, and increased dues and subscriptions of approximately $7,000. Professional fees increased by approximately $3,000 (or 5%) and $27,000 (or 20%), respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared with the same comparable periods in 2002. These increases were primarily attributable to increased legal costs associated with shareholder relations. Interest expense decrease by approximately $10,000 (or 7%) and $31,000 (or 7%), respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared with the same comparable periods in 2002. This was primarily as a result of decreased variable interest rates and overall reduction in outstanding debt. EFFECT OF INFLATION: Inflation affects the costs of operating and maintaining the Company's investments. In addition, rentals under certain leases are based in part on the lessee's sales and tend to increase with inflation, and certain leases provide for periodic adjustments according to changes in predetermined price indices.

The majority of maturing debt obligations for 2003 is a note payable to the Company's 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. ("TGIF") of approximately $3.7 million. This amount is due on demand.
