This Annual Report contains certain statements relating to future results of the Company that are considered "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, changes in political and economic conditions; interest rate fluctuation; competitive pricing pressures within the Company's market; equity and fixed income market fluctuation; technological change; changes in law; changes in fiscal, monetary, regulatory and tax policies; monetary fluctuations as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed elsewhere in this Annual Report or from time-to-time in the filings of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Item 1. Description of Business. HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries ("HMG", or the "Company"), was organized in 1972 as a Delaware corporation. HMG (excluding its 95% owned subsidiary Courtland Investments, Inc., which files a separate tax return) qualifies for taxation as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The Company's business is the ownership and management of income-producing commercial properties and its management considers other investments if such investments offer growth or profit potential. As discussed below, the Company relies on one tenant at its Grove Isle, hotel and resort property for a significant portion of its rental and related revenue. On August 20, 2004, the Company acquired a 50% interest in a restaurant, office/retail mall and marina property located in Coconut Grove (Miami), Florida known as Monty's (the "Monty's Property"). The total purchase price was approximately $13.9 million which included $7.7 million in goodwill and was financed by a bank loan of $10.1 million. The Monty's Property consists of a two story building with approximately 40,000 rentable square feet, approximately 15,000 square feet of outdoor space comprising the raw bar restaurant and approximately 3.7 acres of submerged land with approximately 132 dock slips comprising the marina portion of the property. A portion of the upstairs space is intended to be utilized as a restaurant and it and parts of the downstairs restaurant are currently being renovated. The Company expects to operate, or through a tenant-operator open, an upstairs restaurant over-looking the marina and will expand the downstairs raw bar, as well as renovate the office/retail mall. Construction is expected to be completed by late 2005 at estimated cost of $3.7 million. The acquired assets also include certain trademarks and other rights in connection with the restaurant and dock slips. The Monty's Property is subject to a ground lease, as amended, with the City of Miami, Florida which expires in 2035. Lease payments are based on percentage rents ranging from 5% to 15% of gross revenues from various components of the Monty's Property. In September 2004 the Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Company's major tenant, Westgroup Grove Isle Associates, a subsidiary of Noble House Resorts, Inc. (a national operator of hotels and resorts) for the purpose 3 of developing and operating on the Grove Isle property, a commercial project consisting of a first class spa, together with related improvements and amenities (the "Spa Property"). The Company owns 50% of this new venture. The construction of the Spa Property is expected to be completed in 2005 at a cost of approximately $2.4 million. In conjunction with the spa property development, the Company amended and restated its lease with Westgroup to extend the term of the lease from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2016, and includes two options to extend the lease term each for an additional 20 years. The lease with Westgroup accounts for a large portion of the Company's rental and related revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Westgroup lease accounted for approximately 80% and 72%, respectively, of total rental and related revenue. In April 2004 the Company sold its Fashion Square shopping center located near Jacksonville, Florida for approximately $3.9 million and recognized a net gain on the sale of $1.8 million. The Company's principal assets include a hotel, private club with spa and marina, a 50% interest in a restaurant, marina and office/retail mall facility (as discussed above) and its corporate office building. All of these properties are located in the Coconut Grove section of Miami, Florida. The Company also owns a 70% interest in a 17,000 square foot commercial building in Kingston, New York, a 70% interest in a 13,000 square foot commercial building in Montpelier, Vermont and approximately 3 acres of land held for development in Houston, Texas. The Company's other investments consist of equity interests in various privately held entities, primarily limited partnerships, whose purpose is to invest venture capital funds in growth-oriented enterprises which may include investments in commercial real estate. Of the total amount committed in these other investments, approximately 18% (based on carrying values) is in real estate related investments and the remaining investments are in varied private entities which invest in diversified growth-oriented enterprises. Other investments give rise to exposure resulting from the volatility in capital markets. The Company mitigates its risks by diversifying its investment portfolio. Information with respect to the amounts and types of other investments including the nature of the declines in value is set forth in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company invests idle cash in income producing instruments, including equity and debt securities issued primarily by large capital companies or government agencies with readily determinable fair values in varying industries, including real estate investment trusts and mutual funds focusing in commercial real estate activities. Substantially all of the Company's marketable securities investments are in companies listed on major national stock markets, however the overall investment portfolio and some of the Company's investment strategies could be viewed as risky and the market values of the portfolio may be subject to fluctuations. Consistent with the Company's overall investment objectives and activities, management classifies all marketable securities as being held in a trading portfolio. Accordingly, all unrealized gains and losses on the Company's investments in marketable securities are recorded in the statement of income. Marketable securities are stated at market value as determined by the most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. 4 The Company acquires its real estate and other investments utilizing available cash, trading securities or borrowing funds. The Company may realize gains and losses in its overall investment portfolio from time to time to take advantage of market conditions and/or manage the portfolio's resources and the Company's tax liability. The Company may utilize margin for its marketable securities purchases through the use of standard margin agreements with national brokerage firms. The use of available leverage is guided by the business judgment of management. The Company may also use options and futures to hedge concentrated stock positions and index futures to hedge against market risk and enhance the performance of the Company's portfolio while reducing the overall portfolio's risk and volatility. Reference is made to Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions for discussion of the Company's organizational structure and related party transactions. Information with respect to the amounts and types of investments in marketable securities is set forth in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Investment in affiliate. The Company's investment in affiliate consists of a 49% equity interest in T.G. I.F. Texas, Inc. (TGIF). T.G.I.F. is a Texas Corporation, which owns one net leased property in Louisiana and holds promissory notes receivable from its shareholders, including the Company's 95% owned subsidiary, Courtland Investments, Inc. ("CII") and Maurice Wiener, the Chairman of the Company. This investment's carrying value is approximately $3 million and the Company has as note payable to TGIF of approximately $3.7 million which is due on demand. Insurance, Environmental Matters and Other. In the opinion of management, all significant assets of the Company are adequately covered by insurance and the cost and effects of complying with environmental laws do not have a material impact on the Company's operations. The Company's subsidiary which operates a restaurant is subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting its business. In particular, this restaurant is subject to licensing and regulation by the alcoholic beverage control, health, sanitation, safety and fire department agencies of Miami-Dade County, Florida. To the extent that the Company's restaurant sells alcoholic beverages it is subject to the State of Florida's liquor liability statues or "dram shop laws" which allow a person injured by an "obviously intoxicated person" to bring a civil suit against the business (or social host) who had served intoxicating liquors to an already "obviously intoxicated person". Dram shop claims normally involve traffic accidents and the Company would generally not learn of such claims until such claims are filed. At the present time, there are no dram shop cases pending against the Company. The Company has in place insurance coverage to protect it from losses, if any. Competition. The Company competes for suitable opportunities for real estate investments with other real estate investment trusts, foreign investors, pension funds, insurance companies and other investors. The Company also competes with other real estate investors and borrowers for available sources of financing. 5 In addition, to the extent the Company leases properties it must compete for tenants with other lessors offering similar facilities. Tenants are sought by providing modern, well-maintained facilities at competitive rentals. The Company has attempted to facilitate successful leasing of its properties by investing in facilities that have been developed according to the specifications of tenants and special local needs. The food and beverage industry is highly competitive and are often affected by changes in taste and entertainment trends among the public, by local, national and economic conditions affecting spending habits, and by population and traffic patterns. The Company's restaurant is outdoors and subject to climate and seasonal conditions. In conjunction with the purchase of the restaurant, marina and mall facility in August 2004 the Company obtained the right to certain trademarks and service marks commonly known as "Monty Trainer's", "Monty's Stone Crab", "Monty's Conch", "Monty's" and "Monty's Marina, together with certain other trademarks, trade secrets, unique features, concepts, designs operating procedures, recipes and materials used in connection with the operation of the restaurant. The Company regards its trademarks and other proprietary rights as valuable assets which are essential to the related operations. The Company will vigorously monitor and protect its trademarks against infringement and dilution where legally feasible and appropriate. Employees. The Company has one employee who is an officer of Courtland Investments (a 95%-owned consolidated subsidiary). This employee assumed the responsibilities of the prior project manager of one of the Company's properties. The Company has no employees other than officers who are not compensated for their services as such in accordance with its Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Adviser. Reference is made to Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. The labor costs relating to the food and beverage operations represent the Company's reimbursement to the manager of the restaurant for its employees and are not employees of the Company. Reference is made to discussion of restaurant, marina and mall in Item 2. Description of Property. Terms of the Agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Adviser serves as the Company's investment adviser and, under the supervision of the directors of the Company, administers the day-to-day operations of the Company. All officers of the Company, other than the project manager described above (who is not employed by the Adviser), who are officers of the Adviser are compensated solely by the Adviser for their services. The Agreement is renewable annually upon the approval of a majority of the directors of the Company who are not affiliated with the Adviser and a majority of the Company's shareholders. The contract may be terminated at any time on 120 days written notice by the Adviser or upon 60 days written notice by a majority of the unaffiliated directors of the Company or the holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding shares. On July 16, 2004, the shareholders approved the renewal of the Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Adviser for a term commencing January 1, 2005, and expiring December 31, 2005. 6 The Adviser is majority owned by Mr. Wiener with the remaining shares owned by certain officers, including Mr. Rothstein. The officers and directors of the Adviser are as follows: Maurice Wiener, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive officer; Lawrence I. Rothstein, President, Treasurer, Secretary and Director; and Carlos Camarotti, Vice President - Finance and Assistant Secretary. Advisory Fees. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company and its subsidiaries paid the Adviser fees of approximately $1,215,000 and $977,000, respectively, of which $900,000 represented regular compensation and approximately $315,000 and $77,000 represented incentive compensation for 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Adviser is also the manager for certain of the Company's affiliates and received management fees of approximately $38,000 and $14,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively, for such services. Included in fees for 2004 was approximately $8,000 of management fees earned relating to management of restaurant portion of the property acquired in August of 2004. Item 2. Description of Property. Grove Isle Hotel, Club and Marina (Coconut Grove, Florida). A 50 room hotel and private club (the "facility") located on 7 acres of a private island in Coconut Grove, Florida, known as "Grove Isle". In addition to the 50 hotel rooms, the facility includes public space, banquet facilities and restaurant, tennis courts, and an 85-yacht slip marina. The facility has been leased since November 1996 to Westgroup Grove Isle Associates, Ltd., or "Westgroup", an affiliate of Noble House Resorts, Inc. ("NHR") which is a national operator of hotels and resorts. Westgroup operates all aspects of the facility, except for the marina which is operated by the Company. The original terms of the lease called for base rent of $918,400 plus participation rent consisting of a portion of Westgroup's operating surplus. Participation rent when and if due is payable at end of each lease year. There has been no participation rent since the inception of the lease. A 1999 lease amendment increased base rent commencing January 1, 2002 in accordance with changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Base rent for 2004 was $1,003,157, increasing to $1,037,172 in 2005. Participation rent when and if earned will be reduced by the amount by which base rent increases solely as a result of CPI increases for the lease year. In September 2004 the Company entered into an agreement with Noble House Associates, LLC ("NHA"), an affiliate of the Westgroup, for the purpose of developing and operating on the Grove Isle property, a commercial project consisting of a first class spa, together with related improvements and amenities (the "Spa Property"). A newly formed subsidiary of the Company, CII Spa, LLC ("CIISPA") and NHA formed a Delaware limited liability company, Grove Spa, LLC ("GS") which is owned 50% by CIISPA and 50% by NHA. The Spa Property developed by GS will be sub-leased from Westgroup. The initial term of the sublease commenced on September 15, 2004 and ends on November 30, 2016, with the GS having the right to extend the term for two additional consecutive 20 year terms on the same terms as the original sublease. Annual base rent of the sublease is $10,000, plus GS shall pay real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and all other costs relating to the Spa Property. The construction of the Spa Property is expected to be completed in 2005 at a cost of approximately $2.4 million. 7 In conjunction with the Spa Property development, the Company amended and restated its lease with Westgroup to extend the term of the lease from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2016, and includes two options to extend the lease term each for an additional 20 years. Furthermore, the lease's termination payment, as defined, was amended and restated to mean 50% of the amount by which the value of the leased property on the date of termination, as amended, exceeds $11,480,000, plus the value of NHA's percentage ownership interest in GS. The facility is encumbered by a mortgage note payable with an outstanding balance of approximately $4.3 million and $3.4 million as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This loan calls monthly principal payments of $10,000 with all outstanding principal and interest due at maturity on September 29, 2010. Interest on outstanding principal is due monthly at an annual rate 2.5% plus one-month LIBOR Rate. In December 2004, this loan was modified to include an increase in the loan balance outstanding of $1 million. This additional borrowed amount (less loan costs) was loaned to GS to partially fund the construction of the Spa Property. As of December 31, 2004, 6 of the 85 yacht slips at the facility are owned by the Company and the other 79 are owned by unrelated individuals or their entities. During 2004, the Company sold two yacht slips for a total sales price of approximately $240,000. The net gain to the Company was approximately $166,000. The Company operates and maintains all aspects of the marina at Grove Isle in exchange for an annual maintenance fee from the slip owners to cover operational expenses. In addition the Company rents the unsold slips to boat owners on a short term basis. In 1997 and in conjunction with the original lease, the Company advanced $500,000 to the principal owner of Noble House Resorts, Inc. and received an unsecured promissory note bearing interest at 8% per annum with interest payments due quarterly beginning on July 1, 1997 with all principal due at maturity in 2006. All interest payments due have been received. The Company has included the accounts of CIISPA in its consolidated financial statements beginning from September 15, 2004, the date of agreement. Restaurant, marina and mall (Coconut Grove, Florida). On August 20, 2004, the Company, through two 50%-owned entities, Bayshore Landing, LLC ("Landing") and Bayshore Rawbar, LLC ("Rawbar"), (collectively, "Bayshore") purchased a restaurant, office/retail and marina property located in Coconut Grove (Miami), Florida known as Monty's (the "Monty's Property") for approximately $13.9 million. The other 50% owner of Bayshore is The Christoph Family Trust (the "Trust" or "CFT"). Members of the Trust are experienced real estate and marina operators. The seller, Bayshore Restaurant Management Corporation and affiliates ("BRMC"), is part of a larger privately-held organization which operates other restaurants in Florida. The acquired assets included a two story building with approximately 40,000 rentable square feet. A portion of the upstairs space is intended to be utilized as a restaurant. The property also includes approximately 15,000 square feet of outdoor space comprising the raw bar restaurant and approximately 3.7 acres of submerged land with approximately 132 dock slips comprising the marina portion of the acquired property. Also included in the acquired assets were certain trademarks and other rights in connection with the restaurant and dock slips. 8 The acquired property is subject to a ground lease with the City of Miami, Florida expiring in 2035 which was assigned to Bayshore upon acquisition. The annual rent under the ground lease is based on a percentage of revenues. The purchase price paid by Bayshore included proceeds from a bank loan secured by the Property in the amount of $10.1 million plus approximately $3.9 million in cash. The $10.1 million bank loan is part of a $13.275 million acquisition and construction loan. Proceeds from the construction loan are intended for renovations to the entire property. The outstanding principal balance of the bank loan shall bear interest at a rate of 2.45% per annum in excess of the LIBOR Rate. The bank loan shall be payable as follows: during the first year, monthly payments of accrued interest will be paid. After the first year and upon conversion to permanent terms, the loan will be repayable in equal monthly principal payments necessary to fully amortize the principal amount over the remaining twenty years of the loan, plus accrued interest. In conjunction with the mortgage Bayshore has also entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuation through the entire term of the mortgage. The effect of the swap agreement is to provide a fixed interest rate of 7.57%. The following table sets forth the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired: Marina slips $2,500,000 Buildings 2,900,000 Furniture and fixtures 765,000 Goodwill 7,729,000 Food and beverage inventory 49,000 ------------- Total Capitalized Costs $13,943,000 ============= The allocation above was based on independent appraisal and valuation reports which utilized as its primary valuation method the discounted cash flows from the existing operations assigning appropriate discount rates for each of the three operating components of the Monty's Property. The excess of capitalized cost assigned to specific assets over the purchase price was $7,729,000 and was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is an intangible asset with an indefinite life. It will be reviewed for impairment annually and whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce fair value below carrying value. For federal income tax purposes goodwill is expected to be amortized under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The upstairs and parts of the downstairs of the Monty's Property are currently under construction. The Company expects a portion of the upstairs space to be utilized as a restaurant and is also expanding the downstairs raw bar restaurant. Construction is expected to be completed by late 2005 at an estimated cost of $3.7 million. Effective from the date of acquisition, the operations of Rawbar will be managed by a company (the "Manager") whose principal was a principal of the seller and has operated this restaurant for the last 15 years. The Manager also operates two other Monty's restaurants in Miami Beach and Key West. The Company has a 10% equity interest in the Key West location. Under the management agreement Rawbar will pay the Manager a management fee equal to the greater of $300,000 per year or 4% of gross sales, as defined. In addition, the Manager is entitled to an 9 incentive fee equal to 33% of all operating profits (as defined) greater than $1,200,000 per year. The operations of Rawbar are performed by employees of the Manager and the Company reimburses the Manager for such employees' payroll and related costs. The management agreement expires in August, 2009. In August 2004 the Company loaned $1 million to an entity which owns and operates a restaurant in Key West, Florida. The Company has had a 10% equity interest in this restaurant since its construction began in 1999. The proceeds of the loan were used for leasehold improvements. The principal owner of the restaurant is an entity whose principal is also the principal of BRMC, the seller and current manager of the restaurant operations acquired on August 20, 2004 as described above. The promissory note is secured by a 65-year leasehold interest and calls for quarterly payments of interest of 8% per annum beginning on July 31, 2004. All principal and accrued and unpaid interest is due on June 30, 2009. The Company also has a ten year option to acquire an additional 20% equity interest in this restaurant. The restaurant opened in October 2003 and for the three months ended December 31, 2003 reported net income from operations of $94,000 and for the year ended December 31, 2004 reported a net loss of $564,000. Land held for development (Texas and Rhode Island). As of December 31, 2004, the Company owns approximately 3 acres of vacant land held for development located in Houston, Texas. In September 2004 the Company sold 3.4 acres of undeveloped land for approximately $885,000 and recognized a net gain on the sale of $297,000. Additionally the Company owns approximately 50 acres of vacant land held for development located in Rhode Island. Retail stores (New York and Vermont). The Company owns a 70% interest in two retail store locations, one in Kingston, New York and the other in Montpelier, Vermont. The Kingston property is leased through June 2006 and calls for annual base rent of approximately $53,000 with a renewal option after three years with adjustments for inflation. The Montpelier property is vacant and held for development. The Kingston, NY retail store described above is owned by a joint venture of which the Company is an approximate 70% owner. The 30% minority partner is NAF Associates. Reference is made to Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, HMG Fieber Associates. Executive offices (Coconut Grove, Florida). The principal executive offices of the Company and the Adviser are located at 1870 South Bayshore Drive, Coconut Grove, Florida, 33133, in premises owned by the Company and leased to the Adviser pursuant to a lease agreement dated December 1, 2004. The lease provides for base rent of $48,000 per year payable in equal monthly installments during the initial five year term of the lease. Additionally, the tenant pays the property taxes, insurance, utility, and maintenance and security expenses relating to the leased premises. This property is encumbered by mortgage loan due to a bank of approximately $343,000. This loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.75% through maturity and calls for monthly principal and interest payments with all principal due at maturity in August 2007. 10 The Company regularly evaluates potential real estate acquisitions for future investment or development and would utilize funds currently available or from other resources to implement its strategy. In April 2004 the Company sold the Fashion Square shopping center located near Jacksonville, Florida for approximately $3.9 million and recognized a net gain on the sale of $1.8 million. Item 3.

Our investments in trading equity and debt marketable securities are valued based on quoted market prices. Marketable securities are subject to fluctuations in value in accordance with market conditions. Other Investments. The Company's other investments consist primarily of nominal equity interests in various privately-held entities, including limited partnerships whose purpose is to invest venture capital funds in growth-oriented enterprises. The Company does not have significant influence over any investee and no single investment exceeds 5% of the Company's total assets. None of these investments meet the criteria of accounting under the equity method and are carried at cost; less distributions deemed return of capital and other than temporary unrealized losses. These investments do not have available quoted market prices, so we must rely on valuations and related reports and information provided to us by those entities. These valuations are by their nature subject to estimates which could change significantly from period to period. The Company regularly reviews the underlying assets in its other investment portfolio for events, including but not limited to bankruptcies, closures and declines in estimated fair value, that may indicate the investment has suffered an other-than-temporary decline in value. When a decline is deemed other-than-temporary, we permanently reduce the cost basis component of the investments. As such, any recoveries in the value of the investments will not be recognized until the investments are sold. Our estimates of each of these items historically have been adequate. However, due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is reasonably possible that the actual resolution of any of these items could vary significantly from the estimate and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates may not materially change in the near term. Real Estate. Land, buildings and improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment are recorded at cost. Tenant improvements, which are included in buildings and improvements, are also stated at cost. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as they are incurred. Renovations and/or replacements, which improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. 13 Depreciation is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of ten to forty years for buildings and improvements and five to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Tenant improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases. The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis with respect to those properties. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company's net income. Should the Company lengthen the expected useful life of a particular asset, it would be depreciated over more years, and result in less depreciation expense and higher annual net income. Assessment by the Company of certain other lease related costs must be made when the Company has a reason to believe that the tenant will not be able to execute under the term of the lease as originally expected. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of certain of its properties and long-lived assets in relation to historical results, current business conditions and trends to identify potential situations in which the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. If such reviews indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable, the Company would estimate the undiscounted sum of the expected future cash flows of such assets or analyze the fair value of the asset, to determine if such sum or fair value is less than the carrying value of such assets to ascertain if a permanent impairment exists. If a permanent impairment exists, the Company would determine the fair value by using quoted market prices, if available, for such assets, or if quoted market prices are not available, the Company would discount the expected future cash flows of such assets and would adjust the carrying value of the asset to fair value. Judgments as to impairments and assumptions used in projecting future cash flow are inherently imprecise. Results of Operations: For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company reported net income of approximately $1.5 million (or $1.37 per diluted share) compared with net income of approximately $181,000 (or $.17 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2003. Revenues: Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared with that of 2003 increased by approximately $2,186,000 (or 66%). This increase was primarily due to approximately $2.1 million in revenue related to the acquisition of the Monty's Property in August 2004. Revenues from the Monty's Property consisted of food and beverage revenue of $1.7 million, marina revenues of $337,000 and rents and related revenue of $63,000 for the period from August 20th to December 31, 2004. Real estate rentals and related revenue decreased by approximately $127,000 (or 8%) for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared with 2003. This decrease was the result of decrease rental income of $249,000 due to the sale of the Jacksonville, FL shopping center in April 2004. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in rental and related revenues from the Grove Isle hotel 14 of approximately $35,000 primarily due to an inflationary adjustment to base rent in 2004, approximately $24,000 from the lease renewal of Kingston, NY retail store addition and approximately $63,000 from rental income from the retail mall acquired in August 2004. Marina revenues increased by approximately $320,000 (or 67%) for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared with 2003. This increase was primarily the result of the acquisition of the Monty's Property in August 2004. During 2004, the Company sold two Grove Isle yacht slips for a total sales price of approximately $240,000. The net gain to the Company was approximately $166,000. Net gain from investments in marketable securities, including marketable securities distributed by partnerships in which the Company owns minority positions, for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, is as follows: Description 2004 2003 Net realized gain from sales of securities $188,000 $ 37,000 Unrealized net gain (loss) in marketable securities 233,000 754,000 Net change in sales of securities pending delivery - (24,000) ----------------------- ----------------------- Total net gain from investments in marketable securities $421,000 $767,000 ======================= ======================= Net realized gain from sales of marketable securities consisted of approximately $326,000 of gains net of $138,000 of losses for the year ended December 31, 2004. The comparable amounts in fiscal year 2003 were gains of approximately $362,000 net of $325,000 of losses. Approximately $195,000 and $197,000 of gains in fiscal years 2004 and 2003, respectively, were recognized from the sale of stock distributions from the Company's investments in privately held partnerships. Consistent with the Company's overall current investment objectives and activities, the entire marketable securities portfolio is classified as trading (versus available for sale, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles). Unrealized gains or losses from marketable securities are recorded as revenues in the statement of income. 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. Investments in marketable securities give rise to exposure resulting from the volatility of capital markets. The Company believes its risk to be mitigated by the diversity of its marketable securities portfolio. 15 Net gain (loss) from other investments is summarized below: 2004 2003 --------------------- ------------------- Venture capital funds - technology & ($123,332) ($108,507) communications (a) Real estate and related (b) 104,233 139,852 Venture capital funds - diversified businesses (c) 449,546 --- Income from investment in 49% owned affiliate (d) 67,323 32,130 Other (12,300) (12,300) --------------------- ------------------- Totals $485,470 $51,175 ===================== ===================(a) In connection with management's regular review of other investments which includes analyzing such factors as bankruptcies and realized losses of underlying investees the Company recorded adjustments to write down investments in these sectors for declines in value deemed to be other-than-temporary. In 2004 management recorded a total of $187,000 in write-downs of two investments in the technology-related industry. In 2003 the loss included approximately $114,000 of write-downs related to impairments experienced in three funds with a heavy concentration in technology-related businesses. (b) These gains consist primarily of gains from the disposition of assets held in partnerships in which the Company owns minority equity interests. (c) This gain is primarily from the sale of one of the portfolio companies owned by a limited partnership which owns various diversified businesses, primarily in the manufacturing and production related sectors. The Company's ownership percentage in this limited partnership is approximately .51%. Two of these businesses were sold in 2004 resulting in a net gain to the Company of approximately $450,000. (d) This gain represents income from the Company's 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. The increase from the prior year is primarily as a result of increased rental revenue. Net gain or loss from other investments 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 gain or loss from other investments for any given period has no predictive value and variations in amount from period to period have no practical analytical value. Interest, dividend and other income for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased by approximately $171,000 (or 56%), as compared with that of 2003. This was primarily the result of interest from a new loan to the restaurant operator in Key West, Florida of $37,000 and increased earnings from investments in bonds of approximately $103,000. Expenses: Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to that of 2003 increased by approximately $2,093,000 (or 61%). 16 Food and beverage costs are solely from the Monty's Property restaurant operations. Sales of food and beverage from August 20, 2004 (date acquired) through December 31, 2004 was approximately $1.73 million. The related cost of food and beverage sales was $537,000 or approximately 31% of food and beverage sales. Direct labor and related costs for the food and beverage operations was $356,000 or approximately 21% of sales, and all other costs relating to the food and beverage operations amounted to approximately $790,000 for the same period. Net profit from food and beverage operations (excluding payments between consolidated affiliates) was approximately $47,000 for the period since acquisition through December 31, 2004. Operating expenses of rental and other properties for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased by approximately $82,000 or (15%) as compared with that of 2003. This increase was primarily the result of $103,000 of costs related to the retail mall portion of the Monty's Property acquired in August 2004. This increase was partially offset by decreased expenses related to the Fashion Square shopping center which was sold in April 2004. Marina expenses increased by approximately $163,000 (or 43%) for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to 2003. This increase was primarily due to costs associated with the marina portion of the Monty's Property acquired in August 2004. Interest expense increased by approximately $235,000 (or 48%) for year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to 2003, primarily due to interest of approximately $285,000 on new borrowings related to the acquisition of the Monty's Property in August 2004. This increase was partially offset by decreased interest as a result of loan repayments from sales of property of approximately $38,000. Net gain on sales of real estate for the years ended December 31, 2004, and 2003 consisted of the following: Net gain after incentive fee and minority interest --------------------------------------- Property Sold 2004 2003 Yacht slips, Coconut Grove, Florida $157,000 $356,000 Undeveloped land, Houston, Texas 298,000 282,000 Shopping center, Jacksonville, Florida 1,802,000 -- ------------------ ----------------- Total $2,257,000 $638,000 ================== ================= Net gain on sales of properties has been reduced, where applicable, by minority partners' interest in the gain of $8,000 and $19,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and by adviser's incentive fees of $251,000 and $69,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $700,000 and $323,000, respectively. The 2004 provision includes $250,000 in current income tax liability relating to the Company's REIT activities. This tax may be eliminated or reduced if the Company elects to make a distribution as allowed for REIT's. The 2004 provision also includes deferred income tax expense 17 on non-REIT activities primarily relating to the utilization of prior year net operating loss carry forward. For the year ended December 31, 2003 the tax provision consisted entirely of deferred income tax expense and there was no current income tax provision or liability as the deferred income tax expense consisted primarily of the utilization of prior year net operating loss carry forward. The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. As a result of timing differences associated with the carrying value of other investments and depreciable assets and the future benefit of a net operating loss, as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, the Company has recorded a net deferred tax asset of $28,000 and $478,000. A valuation allowance against deferred tax asset has not been established as management believes it is more likely than not, based on the Company's previous history and expectation of future taxable income before expiration, that these assets will be realized. 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. Liquidity, Capital Expenditure Requirements and Capital Resources: The Company's material commitments primarily consist of maturities of debt obligations of approximately $3.9 million in 2005, contributions committed to other investments of approximately $1.0 million due upon demand and funding of remaining construction in progress of approximately $4.4 million. The funds necessary to meet these obligations are expected from the proceeds from the sales of properties or investments, bank construction loan, refinancing of existing bank loans, distributions from investments and available cash. Included in the maturing debt obligations for 2005 is a note payable to the Company's 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. ("TGIF") ( Reference is made to Item 12 Certain Relationships and Related Transactions) of approximately $3.7 million. This amount is due on demand. The obligation due to TGIF will be paid with funds available from distributions from its investment in TGIF and from available cash. 18 A summary of the Company's contractual cash obligations at December 31, 2004 is as follows: Payments Due by Period -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contractual Obligations Total Less than 1 year 1 - 3 years 4 - 5 years After 5 years ------------------------- ---------------- ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- --------------- Mortgages and notes $18,483,069 $3,929,573 $1,891,113 $4,403,603 $8,258,780 payable Other investments commitments (a) 994,441 994,441 -- -- -- Commitments to complete construction in progress (b) 4,400,000 4,400,000 -- -- -- ------------------------- ---------------- ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- --------------- Total $23,877,510 $9,324,014 $1,891,113 $4,403,603 $8,258,780 ========================= ================ =================== =================== =================== ===============(a) The timing of amounts due under commitments for other investments is determined by the managing partners of the individual investments. These amounts are reflected as due in less than one year although the actual funding may not be required until some time in the future. (b) This amount represents an estimate as of December 31, 2004 of funding necessary to complete all construction in progress. Funding will be provided primarily from construction loans. Material Changes in Operating, Investing and Financing Cash Flows. The Company's cash flows are generated primarily from its real estate activities, sales of investment securities, distributions from other investments and borrowings. For the year ended December 31, 2004 the Company used net cash in operating activities of approximately $314,000. This primarily consisted of purchases of marketable securities in excess of proceeds from sale of securities of approximately $1.8 million partially offset by increased broker margin payables of approximately $1.4. The Company believes that there will be sufficient cash flows in the next year to meet its operating requirements. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the net cash used in investing activities was approximately $12.1 million. This consisted primarily of the acquisition of and follow-on investments in the Monty's Property of $14.3 million, construction of the Grove Isle Spa property of approximately $1.5 million, additions to mortgages and notes receivable of $1.2 million and contributions to other investments of approximately $1.3 million. These uses were partially offset by net proceeds from the sales of properties of $4.4 million and distributions from investments of approximately $1.6 million For the year ended December 31, 2004, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $13.3 million. This consisted primarily of borrowings from mortgages and notes payable of $11.2 million ($10.1 million for Monty's Property acquisition and $1.0 million for Spa Property construction) and contributions from minority partners of $2.9 million. 19 Item 7.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 and 2003 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business and Consolidation. The 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. The Company was organized in 1972 and (excluding its 95% owned subsidiary Courtland Investments, Inc., which files a separate tax return) qualifies for taxation as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company's business is the ownership and management of income-producing commercial properties and its management considers other investments if such investments offer growth or profit potential. The Company's recurring operating revenue comes from rental and related income, gains from investments and beginning in August 2004 from food and beverage operations. All material transactions and balances with consolidated and unconsolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation or as required under the equity method. The Company's consolidated subsidiaries are described below: Courtland Investments, Inc. ("CII"). A 95% owned corporation, which owns 100% of Grove Isle Yacht Club Associates and a 15% general partnership interest in Grove Isle Associates, Ltd. CII also invests in marketable securities and various investments in partnerships whose primary purpose is to make equity investments in growth-oriented enterprises and real estate. The Company holds a 95% non-voting interest and Masscap Investments Company, Inc. ("Masscap") holds a 5% voting interest in CII. The Company and Masscap have had a continuing arrangement with regard to the ongoing operations of CII, which provides the Company with complete authority over all decision making relating to the business, operations and financing of CII consistent with the Company's status as a real estate investment trust. Masscap is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Transco Realty Trust which is a 44% shareholder of the Company. CII files a separate tax return and its operations are not part of the REIT tax return. Courtland Bayshore Rawbar, LLC ("CBSRB"). This Florida limited liability company ("LLC") was formed in 2004 and is wholly owned by CII. CBSRB owns a 50% interest in Bayshore Rawbar, LLC ("BSRB") which operates the outdoor Monty's restaurant. The other 50% owner of BSRB is The Christoph Family Trust ("CFT") an unrelated party. HMG Bayshore, LLC ("HMGBS"). This Florida limited liability company ("LLC") was formed in 2004 for the purpose of owning a 50% interest in the real property and marina operations of Bayshore Landing, LLC ("BSL"). HMGBS and the CFT formed BSL for the purposes of acquiring and operating Monty's Property in Coconut Grove, Florida. 26 Courtland/Key West, Inc. ("CKWI"). This Florida corporation was formed in December 1999 and is wholly-owned by CII. CKWI owns a 10% interests in a limited liability company that owns and operates a restaurant in Key West, Florida. CII Spa, LLC ("CIISPA"). This Florida single-member limited liability company was formed in 2004 and is wholly-owned by CII. CIISPA owns a 50% interest Grove Spa, LLC ("GS"), as discussed below. In September 2004 the Company entered into an agreement with Noble House Associates, LLC ("NHA"), an affiliate of the Company's tenant at its Grove Isle property (Westgroup Grove Isle Associates, Ltd., or "Westgroup"), for the purpose of developing and operating on the Grove Isle property a commercial project consisting of a first class spa, together with related improvements and amenities (the "Spa Property"). A newly formed and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, CIISPA and NHA formed a Delaware limited liability company, GS which is owned 50% by CIISPA and 50% by NHA. The Spa Property developed by GS will be sub-leased from Westgroup. Grove Isle Associates, Ltd. ("GIA"). This limited partnership (owned 85% by the Company and 15% by CII) owns a 50-room, hotel and private club facility located on approximately 7 acres of a private island in Coconut Grove, Florida known as Grove Isle. Grove Isle Yacht Club Associates ("GIYCA"). This partnership was the developer of the 85 boat slips located at Grove Isle of which the Company owns six as of December 31, 2004. All other slips are privately owned. Grove Isle Marina, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of GIYCA operates all aspects of the Grove Isle marina. The Grove Towne Center - Texas, Ltd ("TGTC"). This limited partnership is a wholly-owned by the Company. The sole asset of the partnership is 3 acres of undeveloped land located in suburban Houston, Texas. South Bayshore Associates ("SBA"). This is a 75% owned joint venture where the major asset is a receivable from the Company's 44% shareholder, Transco Realty Trust. HMG - Fieber Associates ("Fieber"). This is a 70% owned joint venture where the major asset is a retail store located in the state of New York. 260 River Corp ("260"). This is a wholly-owned corporation which owns a 70% interest in a vacant retail store location in Montpelier, Vermont. Preparation of Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 27 Income Taxes. The Company's 95%-owned 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 the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires a Company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability 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. Under SFAS No. 109, 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. The Company (excluding CII) qualifies as a real estate investment trust and 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 their 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. Distributed capital gains on sales of real estate as they relate to REIT activities are not subject to taxes; however, undistributed capital gains are taxed as capital gains. State income taxes are not significant. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation of properties held for investment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the properties, which range up to 39.5 years. Deferred mortgage and leasing costs are amortized over the shorter of the respective term of the related indebtedness or life of the asset. Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $617,000 and $585,000, respectively. The Grove Isle yacht slips are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 20 years. The Monty's marina is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 15 years. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The carrying value of financial instruments including other receivables, notes and advances due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued expenses and mortgages and notes payable approximate their fair values at December 31, 2004 and 2003, due to their relatively short terms or variable interest rates. Marketable Securities. The entire marketable securities portfolio is classified as trading consistent with the Company's overall investment objectives and activities. Accordingly, all unrealized gains and losses on the Company's marketable securities investment portfolio are included in the statement of income. Gross gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities are based on the first-in first-out method of determining cost. Marketable securities from time to time are pledged as collateral pursuant to broker margin requirements. As of December 31, 2004 there was approximately $1.4 million of margin balances payable to brokers which were included in other liabilities. As of December 31, 2003 there were no such amounts outstanding. 28 Notes and other receivables. Management periodically performs a review of amounts due on its notes and other receivable balances to determine if they are impaired based on factors affecting the collectibility of those balances. Management's estimates of collectibility of these receivables requires management to exercise significant judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, if any, and the underlying value of collateral, which may affect recoverability of such receivables. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, there were no receivables that required an allowance. Sales of Securities Pending Delivery. Sales of securities pending delivery represent the fair market value of shares sold with the promise to deliver that security at some future date. The obligation may be satisfied with current holdings of the same security or by subsequent purchases or acquisitions of that security. Unrealized gains and losses from changes in the obligation are included in earnings. Equity investments. Investments in which the Company does not have a majority voting or financial controlling interest but has the ability to exercise influence are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, even though the Company may have a majority interest in profits and losses. The Company generally has no voting or financial controlling interests in its other investments which include entities that invest venture capital funds in growth oriented enterprises. These other investments are carried at cost less adjustments for other than temporary declines in value. Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity. Comprehensive income (loss) is the change in equity from transactions and other events from nonowner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). For the year ended December 31, 2004 comprehensive loss consisted of unrealized loss from interest rate swap agreement. There were no comprehensive income (loss) items in 2003. 29 Earnings Per Common Share. Net income per common share (basic and diluted) is based on the net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net income per share includes the dilutive effect of options to acquire common stock. Common shares outstanding include issued shares less shares held in treasury. For the years ended December 31, 2004 2003 Basic: Net Income $1,518,552 $180,789 Weighted average shares outstanding 1,089,135 1,089,135 ---------------------------- Basic earnings per share $1.39 $.17 ============================ Diluted: Net Income $1,518,552 $180,789 Weighted average shares outstanding 1,089,135 1,089,135 Options to acquire common stock 23,282 5,858 ---------------------------- Diluted weighted average common shares 1,112,417 1,094,993 ---------------------------- Diluted earnings per share $1.37 $.17 ============================ Gain on Sales of Properties. Gain on sales of properties is recognized when the minimum investment requirements have been met by the purchaser and title passes to the purchaser. Furthermore, gain on sales of properties has been reduced, where applicable, by minority partners' interest in the gain of $8,000 and $19,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively and adviser's incentive fees of $251,000 and $69,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalent. Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, other receivables and notes and mortgages receivable. Derivative Instruments. The Company may or may not use derivative instruments to reduce interest rate risk. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative instruments. The Company does not hold derivative instruments for trading purposes. Interest rate swap contracts designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are reported at fair value. The gain or loss on the effective portion of the hedge initially is included as a component of other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings when interest on the related debt is paid. 30 Inventories. Inventories consist solely of food and beverage and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Intangible Assets. Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill and deferred loan costs. Goodwill is carried at historical cost if its estimated fair value is greater than its carrying value. However, if its estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount, goodwill is reduced to its estimated fair value through an impairment charge to the statement of income. Deferred loan costs are amortized over the life of the loan on a straight line basis which approximates effective interest rate method. Reclassifications. Certain amounts in prior year's consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. Minority Interest. Minority interest represents the minority partners' proportionate share of the equity of the Company's majority owned subsidiaries. 2004 2003 --------------- --------------- Minority interest balance at beginning of year $322,000 $271,000 Minority partners' interest in operating gains (losses) of consolidated subsidiaries (100,000) 20,000 Minority partners' interest in net gains on sales of real estate of consolidated subsidiaries 8,000 19,000 Net contributions from minority partners 2,885,000 --- Unrealized loss on interest rate swap agreement (290,000) --- Other 13,000 12,000 --------------- --------------- Minority interest balance at end of year $2,838,000 $322,000 =============== =============== Stock-Based Compensation. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This statement is a revision to SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." This statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models. In addition, a public entity is required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of liability instruments based on its current fair value. The fair value of that award will be re-measured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that period. 31 For public entities that file as small business issuers, this statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. At the required effective date, all public entities that used the fair value based method for either recognition or disclosure under Statement 123 are required to apply this statement using a modified version of prospective application. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized on or after the required effective date for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards calculated under Statement 123 for either recognition or pro-forma disclosures. For periods before the required effective date, those entities may elect to apply the modified version of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods by Statement 123. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 123R to have a material effect on its financial statements. Revenue Recognition. The Company is the lessor of various real estate properties. All of the lease agreements are classified as operating leases and accordingly all rental revenue is recognized as earned based upon total fixed cash flow over the initial term of the lease, using the straight line method. Percentage rents are based upon tenant sales levels for a specified period and are recognized on the accrual basis, based on the lessee's monthly sales. Reimbursed expenses for real estate taxes, common area maintenance, utilities and insurance are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred, based upon the provisions of the tenant's lease. In addition to base rent, the Company may receive participation rent consisting of a portion of the tenant's operating surplus, as defined in the lease agreement. Participation rent is due at end of each lease year and recognized when earned. Revenues earned from restaurant and marina operations are in cash or cash equivalents with an insignificant amount of customer receivables. Asset Impairments. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its properties and long-lived assets in relation to historical results, current business conditions and trends to identify potential situations in which the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. If such reviews indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable, the Company would estimate the undiscounted sum of the expected future cash flows of such assets or analyze the fair value of the asset, to determine if such sum or fair value is less than the carrying value of such assets to ascertain if a permanent impairment exists. If a permanent impairment exists, the Company would determine the fair value by using quoted market prices, if available, for such assets, or if quoted market prices are not available, the Company would discount the expected future cash flows of such assets and would adjust the carrying value of the asset to fair value. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". This statement is a revision to SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." This statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service, the requisite 32 service period (usually the vesting period). The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models. In addition, a public entity is required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of liability instruments based on its current fair value. The fair value of that award will be re-measured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that period. For public entities that file as small business issuers, this statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. At the required effective date, all public entities that used the fair value based method for either recognition or disclosure under Statement 123 are required to apply this statement using a modified version of prospective application. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized on or after the required effective date for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards calculated under Statement 123 for either recognition or pro-forma disclosures. For periods before the required effective date, those entities may elect to apply the modified version of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods by Statement 123.

ACQUISITION OF RESTAURANT, MARINA AND OFFICE/RETAIL PROPERTY, COCONUT GROVE, FLORIDA On August 20, 2004, the Company, through two 50%-owned entities, Bayshore Landing, LLC ("Landing") and Bayshore Rawbar, LLC ("Rawbar"), (collectively, "Bayshore") purchased a restaurant, office/retail and marina property located in Coconut Grove (Miami), Florida (the "Monty's Property") for approximately $13.9 million. The other 50% owner of Bayshore is The Christoph Family Trust ("CFT"). Members of CFT are experienced real estate and Marina operators. The seller, Bayshore Restaurant Management Corporation and affiliates, is part of a larger privately-held organization which operates other restaurants in Florida. The acquired assets included a two story building with approximately 40,000 rentable square feet. A portion of the upstairs space is intended to be utilized as a restaurant. The property also includes approximately 15,000 square feet of outdoor space comprising the raw bar restaurant and approximately 3.7 acres of submerged land with approximately 132 dock slips comprising the marina portion of the acquired property. Also included in the acquired assets were certain trademarks and other rights in connection with the restaurant and dock slips. The acquired property is subject to a ground lease with the City of Miami, Florida which expires on May 31, 2035. Under the lease the Company pays 35 percentage rents ranging from 5% to 15% of gross revenues from various components of the project. Total rent paid to the City of Miami for August 20th (date of purchase) to December 31, 2004 was approximately $268,000. The purchase price paid by Bayshore included proceeds from a bank loan secured by the Monty's Property in the amount of $10.1 million plus approximately $3.9 million in cash. The $10.1 million bank loan is part of a $13.275 million acquisition and construction loan. Proceeds from the construction loan are intended for renovations to the entire property. The outstanding principal balance of the bank loan shall bear interest at a rate of 2.45% per annum in excess of the LIBOR Rate. The bank loan shall be payable as follows: during the first year, monthly payments of accrued interest will be paid. After the first year and upon conversion to permanent terms, the loan will be repayable in equal monthly principal payments necessary to fully amortize the principal amount over the remaining twenty years of the loan, plus accrued interest. In conjunction with the mortgage Bayshore has also entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuation through the entire term of the mortgage. The effect of the swap agreement is to provide a fixed interest rate of 7.57%. The following table sets forth the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired: Marina slips $2,500,000 Buildings 2,900,000 Furniture and fixtures 765,000 Goodwill 7,729,000 Food and beverage inventory 49,000 ------------- Total Capitalized Costs $13,943,000 ------------- The allocation above was based on an independent appraisal and valuation report which utilized as its primary valuation method the discounted cash flows from the existing operations assigning appropriate discount rates for each of the three operating components of the Monty's Property. The excess of capitalized cost assigned to specific assets over the purchase price was $7,729,000 and was recorded as goodwill. Effective from the date of acquisition, the operations of Rawbar will be managed by a company (the "Manager") whose principal was a principal of the seller and has operated this restaurant for the last 15 years. The Manager also operates two other Monty's restaurants in Miami Beach and Key West. The Company has a 10% equity interest in the Key West location. Under the management agreement Rawbar will pay the Manager a management fee equal to the greater of $300,000 per year or 4% of gross sales, as defined. In addition, the Manager is entitled to an incentive fee equal to 33% of all operating profits greater than $1,200,000 per year. The operations of Rawbar are performed by employees of the Manager and the Company reimburses the Manager for such employees' payroll and related costs. The management agreement expires in August, 2009. The upstairs and parts of the downstairs of the Monty's Property are currently under construction. The Company expects a portion of the upstairs space to be utilized as a restaurant and is also expanding the downstairs raw bar 36 restaurant. Construction is expected to be completed by late 2005 at an estimated cost of $3.7 million. Summarized combined statement of income for Landing and Rawbar for the period from the date of purchase of August 20, 2004 through December 31, 2004 is presented below (Note: the Company's ownership percentage in these operations is 50%): Combined Bayshore Landing, LLC and August 20, 2004 through Bayshore Rawbar, LLC December 31, 2004 ----------------------------------------- ----------------------- Revenues: Food and Beverage Sales $1,733,000 Marina dockage, upland rents and other 400,000 ----------------------- Total Revenues 2,133,000 Expenses: Cost of food and beverage sold 537,000 Labor and related costs 355,000 Other food and beverage related costs 196,000 Insurance 137,000 Management fees 138,000 Utilities 107,000 Ground Rent 267,000 Interest 285,000 Depreciation 126,000 Other 214,000 ----------------------- Total Expenses 2,362,000 ----------------------- Net Loss ($229,000) ======================= Unaudited Pro-forma Results of Operations The following are the Company's results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 with comparative results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003, as if the acquisition of the Monty's property had taken place at the beginning of the years. 2004 2003 ---- ---- Revenues $9,871,000 $9,314,000 ---------- ---------- Net income $1,939,000 $513,000 ---------- -------- Basic earnings per share $1.78 $.47 ----- ---- Diluted earnings per share $1.74 $.47 ----- ---- 37 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 (see table below). These securities are stated at market value, as determined by the most recently 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. Accordingly all unrealized gains and losses on this portfolio are recorded in the statement of income. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 net unrealized gains on trading securities were approximately $233,000 and $754,000, respectively.

The comparable amounts in fiscal year 2003 were gains of approximately $362,000 net of $325,000 of losses. Approximately $195,000 and $197,000 of gains in fiscal years 2004 and 2003, respectively, were recognized from the sale of stock distributions from the Company's investments in privately held partnerships. Consistent with the Company's overall current investment objectives and activities the entire marketable securities portfolio is classified as trading (versus available for sale, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles). Unrealized gains or loss of marketable securities on hand are recorded in the statement of income. Net change in sales of securities pending delivery represents the changes in the market value of those securities and the delivery of securities during 2003 to realize gain or loss from these transactions. There were no sales of securities pending delivery as of December 31, 2004. 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. Investments in marketable securities give rise to exposure resulting from the volatility of capital markets. The Company attempts to mitigate its risk by diversifying its marketable securities portfolio. 5. OTHER INVESTMENTS The Company's other investments consist primarily of nominal equity interests in various privately-held entities, including limited partnerships whose purpose is to invest venture capital funds in growth-oriented enterprises. The Company does not have significant influence over any investee and no single investment exceeds 5% of the Company's total assets. None of these investments meet the 39 criteria of accounting under the equity method and are carried at cost less distributions and other than temporary unrealized losses. The Company's other investments consist of: Carrying values as of December 31, ----------------------------------- Investment Focus 2004 2003 ------------------------------------------------ ---------------- --------------- Venture capital funds - technology and communications $639,870 $882,748 Venture capital funds - diversified businesses 969,828 1,914,575 Restaurant development and operation 575,000 500,000 Real estate and related 955,506 745,686 Hedge and debt funds 1,753,339 645,007 Other 297,000 360,000 ---------------- --------------- Totals $5,190,543 $5,048,016 ================ =============== As of December 31, 2004, the Company has unfunded commitments relating to other investments of approximately $994,000. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 the Company contributed approximately $1.3 million and $843,000, respectively, toward these commitments and received distributions from these investments (primarily cash distributions) of $1.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The Company regularly reviews the underlying assets in its investment portfolio for events, including but not limited to bankruptcies, closures and declines in estimated fair value, that may indicate the investment has suffered an other-than-temporary decline in value. When a decline is deemed other-than-temporary, the Company recognizes an investment loss. Net gain from other investments, which includes adjustments to write down the carrying value of such investments as a result of an other-than-temporary declines in value, is as follows (included in these amounts are investments written down during 2004 and 2003 of approximately $187,000 and $114,000, respectively): 40 Net gain from other investments: Years ended December 31, ----------------------------------------- 2004 2003 --------------------- ------------------- Venture capital funds - technology & ($123,332) ($108,507) communications (a) Real estate and related (b) 104,233 139,852 Venture capital fund - diversified businesses (manufacturing) (c) 449,546 --- Income from investment in 49% owned affiliate (d) 67,323 32,130 Others, net (12,300) (12,300) --------------------- ------------------- Totals $485,470 $51,175 ===================== ===================(a) In connection with management's regular review of other investments including analyzing such factors as bankruptcies and realized losses of underlying investees the Company recorded adjustments to write down investments in these sectors for declines in value deemed to be other-than-temporary. In 2004 management recorded a total of $187,000 in write-downs of two investments in the technology-related industry. In 2003 the loss included approximately $114,000 of write-downs related to impairments experienced in three funds with a heavy concentration in technology-related businesses. (b) These gains consist primarily of gains from the disposition of assets held in partnerships in which the Company owns minority equity interests. (c) This gain is primarily from the sale of one of the portfolio companies owned by a limited partnership which owns various diversified businesses, primarily in the manufacturing and production related sectors. The Company's ownership percentage in this limited partnership is approximately .51%. Two of these businesses were sold in 2004 resulting in a net gain to the Company of approximately $450,000. (d) This gain represents income from the Company's 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (see Note 6 below). The increase from the prior year is primarily as a result of increased rental revenue. Other investments give rise to exposure resulting from credit risks and the volatility in capital markets. The Company attempts to mitigate its risks by diversifying its investment portfolio. Net gain or loss from other investments may fluctuate significantly from period to period in the future and could have a significant impact on the Company's net earnings. 41 6. INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE Investment in affiliate consists of CII's 49% equity interest in T.G. I.F. Texas, Inc. (T.G.I.F.). T.G.I.F. is a Texas Corporation, which owns one net leased property in Louisiana and holds promissory notes receivable from its shareholders, including CII and Maurice Wiener, the Chairman of the Company. Reference is made to Notes 8 and 10 for discussion on notes payable by CII to T.G. I.F. and notes payable by Mr. Wiener to T.G.I.F. This investment is recorded under the equity method of accounting. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 income from investment in affiliate amounted to approximately $67,000 and $32,000, respectively and is included in gain (loss) from other investments in the consolidated statement of income. 7. LOANS, NOTES AND OTHER RECEIVABLES In August 2004 the Company loaned $1 million to an entity which owns and operates a restaurant in Key West, Florida. The Company has had a 10% equity interest in this restaurant since its construction began in 1999. The proceeds of loan were used for leasehold improvements. The principal owner of the restaurant is an entity whose principal is also the principal of the seller and current manager of the restaurant operations acquired on August 20, 2004 (Monty's Property). The promissory note is secured by a 65-year leasehold interest and calls for quarterly payments of interest of 8% per annum beginning on July 31, 2004. All principal and accrued and unpaid interest is due on June 30, 2009. The Company also has a ten year option to acquire an additional 20% equity interest in this restaurant. The restaurant opened in October 2003 and for the three months ended December 31, 2003 reported net income from operations of $94,000 and for the year ended December 31, 2004 reported a net loss of $564,000. 8.

See Note 11 for discussion of interest rate swap agreement related to this loan. 45 A summary of scheduled principal repayments or reductions for all types of notes and mortgages payable is as follows: Year ending December 31, Amount 2005 $3,929,573 2006 298,174 2007 928,867 2008 664,072 2009 704,557 2010 and thereafter 11,957,826 ----------- Total $18,483,069 =========== 11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through their borrowing activities. In order to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates, the Company has entered an interest rate swap contract under which the Company agrees to pay an amount equal to a specified rate of 7.57% times a notional principal approximating the outstanding loan balance, and to receive in return an amount equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus 2.45% times the same notional amount. The Company designated this interest rate swap contract as a cash flow hedge. The fair value of the cash flow hedge, which is a loss of $289,500 (net of 50% minority interest) at December 31, 2004, is deferred to other comprehensive loss and reclassified to interest expense over the life of the swap contract. The Company expects to reclassify $41,000 of deferred net loss on the interest rate swap to interest expense during 2005. 12. LEASE COMMITMENTS The Company's 50% owned subsidiary (Landing), as lessee, leases land and submerged lands on which it operates the Monty's Property under a lease with the City of Miami which expires on May 31, 2035. Under the lease, the Company pays percentage rents ranging from 5% to 15% of gross revenues from various components of the property's operations. Total rent paid to the City of Miami for the period since August 20, 2004 (acquisition date) through December 31, 2004 was approximately $268,000. 13. INCOME TAXES The Company (excluding CII) qualifies as a real estate investment trust and 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 their 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. Distributed capital gains on sales of real estate as they relate to REIT activities are not subject to taxes; however, undistributed capital gains are taxed as capital gains. The Company's 95%-owned 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 the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, 46 "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires a Company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability 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. Under SFAS No. 109, 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 a result of timing differences associated with the carrying value of other investments and depreciable assets and the future benefit of a net operating loss, the Company has recorded a net deferred tax asset of $28,000. A valuation allowance against deferred tax asset has not been established as it is more likely than not, based on the Company's previous history, that these assets will be realized. The components of income before income taxes and the effect of adjustments to tax computed at the federal statutory rate for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were as follows: 2004 2003 ---- ---- Income before income taxes $2,218,000 $504,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computed tax at federal statutory rate of 34% $754,000 $171,000 State taxes at 5.5% 122,000 25,000 REIT related adjustments (327,000) 136,000 Other items, net 151,000 (9,000) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Provision for income taxes $700,000 $323,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Effective tax rate 32% 64% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In 2004 the REIT related adjustments represent the difference between estimated taxes on undistributed dividends and book taxes computed on the REIT's income before income taxes. In 2003 the REIT related adjustments are for REIT related book losses for which there is no provision or benefit. The Company can elect to make a dividend distribution (relating to its REIT income) by the time it files its 2004 income tax return including extensions. The provision for income taxes in the consolidated statement of income consists of the following: Year ended December 31, 2004 2003 ---------------------------------------------------- Current: Federal $204,000 $- State 36,000 - ---------------------------------------------------- 250,000 - Deferred: Federal 405,000 296,000 State 45,000 27,000 ---------------------------------------------------- 450,000 323,000 ---------------------------------------------------- Total $700,000 $323,000 ==================================================== As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: 47 As of December 31, 2004 As of December 31, 2003 Deferred tax Deferred tax ----------------------------------------------------------- Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities ----------- --------------- ------------- ------------- Net operating loss carry forward $250,000 $705,000 Excess of book basis of 49% owned corporation over tax basis 608,000 583,000 Excess of tax basis over book basis of investment property 220,000 205,000 Unrealized gain/loss on marketable securities 120,000 44,000 Excess of tax basis over book basis of other investments 348,000 62,000 292,000 97,000 ----------- --------------- ------------- ------------- Totals $818,000 $790,000 $1,202,000 $724,000 =========== =============== ============= ============= 14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company applies APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan. Under APB Opinion 25, if the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation is recognized. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". This statement is a revision to SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." This statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models. In addition, a public entity is required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of liability instruments based on its current fair value. The fair value of that award will be re-measured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that period. For public entities that file as small business issuers, this statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. At the required effective date, all public entities that used the fair value based method for either recognition or disclosure under Statement 123 are required to apply this statement using a modified version of prospective 48 application. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized on or after the required effective date for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards calculated under Statement 123 for either recognition or pro-forma disclosures. For periods before the required effective date, those entities may elect to apply the modified version of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods by Statement 123. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 123R to have a material effect on its financial statements. The 2000 Stock Option Plan. In November 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the 2000 Stock Option Plan, which was approved by the shareholders in June 2001. The Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 120,000 shares of the Company's common stock to the officers and directors of the Company. Under the 2000 Plan, options are vested immediately upon grant and may be exercised at any time within ten years from the date of grant. Options are not transferable and expire upon termination of employment, except to a limited extent in the event of retirement, disability or death of the grantee. On June 25, 2001, options were granted to all officers and directors to purchase an aggregate of 86,000 common shares at no less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of grant. The average exercise price of the options granted in 2001 was $7.84 per share. The Company's stock price on the date of grant was $7.57 per share. There were no options granted in 2004 or 2003. A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plan as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and changes during the years ending on those dates are presented below: As of December 31, 2004 As of December 31, 2003 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Shares Weighted-Average Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Exercise Price Price ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Outstanding at beginning of year 86,000 $7.84 86,000 $7.84 Granted -- -- -- -- Exercised -- -- -- -- Forfeited -- -- -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Outstanding at end of year 86,000 $7.84 86,000 $7.84 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Options exercisable at year-end 86,000 $7.84 86,000 $7.84 Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year -- -- -- -- ====================================================================================================== 49 15. OPERATING LEASES AS LESSOR Lease of Grove Isle hotel property. In November 1996, the Company entered into a long-term lease and a Master Agreement with Westgroup Grove Isle Associates, Ltd. ("Westgroup"), an affiliate of Noble House Resorts, Inc. which is a national operator of hotels and resorts. The Master Agreement, among other things, transferred the operations of the Grove Isle hotel and club to Westgroup. The term of the lease with Westgroup (as amended in 2004, see below) expires in November 2016 and calls for annual net base rent (as amended in 1999), of $918,400, plus real estate taxes and property insurance, payable in monthly installments. In addition to the base rent Westgroup pays GIA participation rent consisting of a portion of Westgroup's operating surplus, as defined in the lease agreement. Participation rent is due at end of each lease year. There has been no participation rent since the inception of the lease. The lease also calls for an increase in base rent commencing January 1, 2002 in accordance with changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Base rent for 2004 was $1,003,157 increasing to $1,037,172 in 2005. Participation rent if due will be reduced by the amount by which base rent increases solely as a result of CPI increases for the lease year. In September 2004 the Company entered into an agreement with Noble House Associates, LLC ("NHA"), an affiliate of the Westgroup, for the purpose of developing and operating on the Grove Isle property a commercial project consisting of a first class spa, together with related improvements and amenities (the "Spa Property"). A newly formed subsidiary of the Company, CII Spa, LLC ("CIISPA") and NHA formed a Delaware limited liability company, Grove Spa, LLC ("GS") which is owned 50% by CIISPA and 50% by NHA. The Spa Property developed by GS will be sub-leased from Westgroup. The initial term of the sublease commenced on September 15, 2004 and ends on November 30, 2016, with the GS having the right to extend the term for two additional consecutive 20 year terms on the same terms as the original sublease. Annual base rent of the sublease is $10,000, plus GS shall pay real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and all other costs relating to the Spa Property. The construction of the Spa Property is expected to cost approximately $2.4 million and is to be completed in 2005. In conjunction with the Spa Property development, the Company amended and restated its lease with Westgroup to extend the term of the lease from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2016 and includes two options to extend the lease term each for an additional 20 years. Furthermore, the lease's termination payment, as defined, was amended and restated to mean 50% of the amount by which the value of the leased property on the date of termination, as amended, exceeds $11,480,000, plus the value of NHA's percentage ownership interest in GS. During 1997 and in conjunction with the aforementioned agreements, GIA advanced $500,000 to the principal owner of the tenant of the Grove Isle property. GIA received a promissory note bearing interest at 8% per annum with interest payments due quarterly beginning on July 1, 1997 and all principal due at maturity in 2006. All interest payments due have been received. Minimum lease payments receivable. The Company leases its commercial and industrial properties under agreements for which substantially all of the leases specify a base rent and a rent based on tenant sales (or other benchmark) exceeding a specified percentage. Such percentage rent was not material in 2004 and 2003. 50 These leases are classified as operating leases and generally require the tenant to pay all costs associated with the property. Minimum annual rentals on non-cancelable leases in effect at December 31, 2004, are as follows: Year ending December 31, Amount 2005 $1,354,000 2006 1,343,000 2007 1,267,000 2008 1,103,000 2009 1,097,000 Subsequent years 7,259,000 ----------- Total $13,423,000 =========== Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. There are no items to report. Item 8A. Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and designed to ensure that material information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries, which we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act of 1934, was made known to them by others within those entities and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal year which have materially affected or are reasonably materially likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 51 Part III.

In November 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), which was approved by the shareholders in June 2001. The Plan, which permits the grant of qualified and non-qualified options expires in 2010, and is intended to provide incentives to the directors and employees (the "employees") of the Company, as well as to enable the Company to obtain and retain the services of such employees. The Plan is administered by a Stock Option Committee (the "Committee") appointed by the Board of Directors. The Committee selects those key officers and employees of the Company to whom options for shares of common stock of the Company shall be granted. The Committee determines the purchase price of shares deliverable upon exercise of an option; such price may not, however, be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date the option is granted. Payment of the purchase price may be made in cash, Company stock, or by delivery of a promissory note, except that the par value of the stock must be paid in cash or Company stock. Shares purchased by delivery of a note must be pledged to the Company. Shares subject to an option may be purchased by the optionee within ten years from the date of the grant of the option. However, options automatically terminate if the optionee's employment with the Company terminates other than by reason of death, disability or retirement. Further, if, within one year following exercise of any option, an optionee terminates his employment other than by reason of death, disability or retirement, the shares acquired upon exercise of such option must be sold to the Company at a price equal to the lesser of the purchase price of the shares or their fair market value. On June 25, 2001, options were granted to all officers and directors to purchase an aggregate of 86,000 common shares at no less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of grant. The average exercise price of the options granted in 2001 is $7.84 per share. The Company's stock price on the date of grant was $7.57 per share. 53 Item 11.

Transco is a 44% shareholder of the Company of which Mr. Wiener is its executive trustee of and holds 37% of its stock. HMG Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser") and subsidiary. The day-to-day operations of the Company are handled by the Adviser, as described above under Item 1. Business "Advisory Agreement." The Adviser is majority owned by Mr. Wiener, its Chairman and CEO. In August 2004 the HMG Advisory Bayshore, Inc. ("HMGABS") (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser) was formed for the purposes of overseeing the Monty's restaurant operations acquired in August 2004. HMGABS will receive a management fee $25,000 per year from Bayshore Rawbar, LLC. As of December 31, 2004 HMGBS had earned $8,333 in such management fees. Reference is made to Item 1. Business and Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation for further information about the remuneration of the Adviser. Courtland Group, Inc. ("CGI"). CGI served as the Company's investment Adviser until January 1, 1998 and owns approximately 32% of Transco's stock and owns approximately 5% of the Company's common stock. CGI is majority owned by Mr. Wiener, its Chairman and CEO Courtland Investments, Inc. ("CII"). The Company holds a 95% non-voting interest and Masscap Investment Company ("Masscap") holds a 5% voting interest in CII. In May 1998, the Company and Masscap entered into a written agreement in order to confirm and clarify the terms of their previous continuing arrangement with regard to the ongoing operations of CII, all of which provide the Company with complete authority over all decision making relating to the business, operation, and financing of CII consistent with the Company's status as a real estate investment trust. CII and its wholly-owned subsidiary own 100% of Grove Isle Club, Inc., Grove Isle Yacht Club Associates, Grove Isle Marina, Inc., CII Spa, LLC, Courtland Bayshore Rawbar, LLC and it also owns 15% of Grove Isle Associates, Ltd., (the Company owns the other 85%). T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. ("T.G.I.F."). CII owns approximately 49% of the outstanding shares of T.G.I.F. Mr. Wiener is a director and chairman of T.G.I.F. and owns, directly and indirectly, approximately 18% of the outstanding shares of T.G.I.F. T.G.I.F also owns 10,000 shares of the Company's stock. 55 HMG-Fieber Associates ("Fieber"). The Company owns approximately 70% interest in Fieber and the other 30% is owned by NAF Associates ("NAF"). The following discussion describes all material transactions, receivables and payables involving related parties. All of the transactions described below were on terms as favorable to the Company as comparable transactions with unaffiliated third parties. The Adviser. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003 the Adviser owed the Company approximately $234,000 and $259,000, respectively. In March 2005 the Adviser made a cash payment of $50,000 on amounts due the Company. Amounts due from the Adviser bear interest at the prime rate plus 1% payable monthly, with principal due on demand. The Adviser leases its executive offices from CII pursuant to a lease agreement. This lease agreement is at the going market rate for similar property and calls for base rent of $48,000 per year payable in equal monthly installments. Additionally, the Adviser is responsible for all property insurance, utilities, maintenance, and security expenses relating to the leased premises. The lease term is five years expiring in November 2009. In August 2004 the HMG Advisory Bayshore, Inc. ("HMGABS") (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser) was formed for the purposes of overseeing the Monty's restaurant operations acquired in August 2004. HMGABS will receive a management fee $25,000 per year from Bayshore Rawbar, LLC. As of December 31, 2004 HMGBS had earned $8,333 in such management fees, none of which have been paid. South Bayshore Associates ("SBA"). SBA is a joint venture in which Transco and the Company hold interests of 25% and 75%, respectively. The sole major asset of SBA is a demand note from Transco, bearing interest at the prime rate, with an outstanding balance of approximately $432,000 in principal and interest as of December 31, 2004 compared to a balance of $439,000 as of December 31, 2003. The Company also holds a demand note from SBA bearing interest at the prime rate plus 1% with an outstanding balance as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 of approximately $1,122,000 and $1,107,000, in principal and accrued interest, respectively. Interest payments of $20,000 were made in 2004 and 2003. Accrued and unpaid interest is not added to the principal. Because the Company consolidates SBA, the note payable and related interest income is eliminated in consolidation. CGI. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, CGI owed the Company approximately $303,000. In March 2005 CGI made a cash payment of $50,000 on amounts due the Company. Amounts due from CGI bear interest at the prime rate plus 1% payable monthly, with principal due on demand. CII. The Company holds a demand note due from CII bearing interest at the prime rate plus 1% with an outstanding balance of $3,695,000 and $3,401,000 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. During 2004 and 2003, advances from 56 the Company to CII totaled $3.1 million and $769,000, respectively. Repayments from CII to the Company during 2004 and 2003 were $1.9 million and $483,000, respectively. Accrued and unpaid interest is capitalized and included in advances. Because CII is a 95%-owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company, the note payable and related interest is eliminated in consolidation. In 1986, CII acquired from the Company the rights to develop the marina at Grove Isle for a promissory note of $620,000 payable at an annual rate equal to the prime rate. The principal matures on January 2, 2006. Interest payments are due each January 2. Because the Company consolidates CII, the note payable and related interest income is eliminated in consolidation. CII compensates one employee directly in his capacity as project manager for the Company's Texas property. This employee is Mr. Bernard Lerner who is a vice president of Courtland Investments, Inc. and is also a cousin of the Company's Chairman and CEO Mr. Maurice Wiener. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 CII paid Mr. Lerner $85,000. CII Spa, LLC. As more fully discussed in Item 2.Description of Property, in September 2004 the Company entered into an agreement with Noble House Associates, LLC ("NHA"), an affiliate of the Company's tenant at Grove Isle ("Westgroup"), for the purpose of developing and operating on the Grove Isle property a commercial project consisting of a first class spa. A newly formed subsidiary of the Company, CII Spa, LLC ("CIISPA") and NHA formed a Delaware limited liability company, Grove Spa, LLC ("GS") which is owned 50% by CIISPA and 50% by NHA. The Spa Property developed by GS will be sub-leased from Westgroup. The initial term of the sublease commenced on September 15, 2004 and ends on November 30, 2016, with the GS having the right to extend the term for two additional consecutive 20 year terms on the same terms as the original sublease. Annual base rent of the sublease is $10,000, plus GS shall pay real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and all other costs relating to the Spa Property. In December 2004 the loan which secured by the Grove Isle property was renewed and extended with an additional $1 million borrowed. The additional $1 million (less loan costs) was loaned to GS to partially fund the construction of the spa. The Company received a promissory note from GS under the same terms as the renewed and extended bank loan. Since this loan is between two consolidated entities (i.e. Grove Isle Associates, Ltd and Grove Spa, LLC) it is eliminated in consolidation. T.G.I.F. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, CII owed approximately $3,661,000 to T.G.I.F. All advances between CII and T.G.I.F. are due on demand and bear interest at the prime rate plus 1%. All interest due has been paid. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, T.G.I.F. had amounts due from Mr. Wiener of approximately $707,000. These amounts are due on demand and bear interest at the prime rate. All interest due has been paid. The Adviser received management fees of $4,000 for the year ended 57 December 31, 2003 and no fees in 2004. Mr. Wiener received consulting and director's fees from T.G.I.F of $40,800 and $29,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Also, T.G.I.F. owns 10,000 shares of the Company which were purchased in 1996 at the market value. Exercised stock options and related promissory notes. On August 24, 2000, certain officers and directors of the Company exercised all of their stock options and purchased a total of 70,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $358,750. The Company received $70,000 in cash and $288,750 in promissory notes for the balance. These promissory notes bear interest at 6.18% per annum payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of January, April, July and October. The balance of the notes as of December 31, 2003 is $258,750. The outstanding principal is due on August 23, 2005 and the notes are collateralized by the stock. Item 13.
