HMG/COURTLAND PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


1.  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2004. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc. (the "Company") and entities in which the Company owns a majority voting interest or controlling financial interest. All material transactions and balances with consolidated and unconsolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation or as required under the equity method.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT 
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This Statement provides guidance on accounting for reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to the newly adopted accounting principle. This Statement also provides guidance for determining whether retrospective application of a change in accounting principle is impracticable and for reporting a change when retrospective application is impracticable. This Statement also provides guidance on the correction of an error by restating previously issued financial statements.  This Statement shall effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections to have a material effect on its financial statements.
 

3. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR MONTY’S RESTAURANT, MARINA AND OFFICE/RETAIL PROPERTY, COCONUT GROVE, FLORIDA
As previously reported 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.

4. INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Investments in marketable securities consist primarily of large capital corporate equity and debt securities in varying industries or issued by government agencies with readily determinable fair values. These securities are stated at market value, as determined by the most recent traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. Consistent with the Company's overall current investment objectives and activities its entire marketable securities portfolio is classified as trading.

Net gain (loss) from investments in marketable securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 is summarized below:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 net realized gain from sales of marketable securities of approximately $49,000 and $91,000, respectively, consisted of approximately $61,000 of gross gains net of $12,000 of gross losses for the three month period and $110,000 of gross gains and $19,000 of gross losses for the six month period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 net realized loss from sales of marketable securities of approximately $5,000 and $13,000 consisted of approximately $10,000 of gross losses net of $5,000 of gross gains for the three month period and approximately $89,000 of gross losses net of $76,000 of gross gains for the six month period.

Investment gains and losses on marketable securities may fluctuate significantly from period to period in the future and could have a significant impact on the Company's net earnings. However, the amount of investment gains or losses on marketable securities for any given period has no predictive value and variations in amount from period to period have no practical analytical value.

5. OTHER INVESTMENTS
As of June 30, 2005, the Company has committed to invest approximately $11.7 million in other investments primarily in private capital funds, of which approximately $9.8 million has been funded. The carrying value of other investments (which reflects distributions and valuation adjustments) is approximately $5.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2005 the Company has made contributions to four existing and three new investments of approximately $326,000 and has received approximately $378,000 in cash distributions from other investments.

Net (loss) gain from other investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, is summarized below:

In March 2005, the Company reduced the remaining carrying value (approximately $147,000) of one of its investments in a privately held company in the personal cosmetic industry. This investment experienced a decline in demand for its product which is believed to result in other-than-temporary decline in the value of the investment. This write down is included under the caption “Others, net” in the table above. There were no write downs during the three months ended June 30, 2005.

In March 2004, the Company reduced the carrying value of one of its investments in a venture capital fund by $104,000. This fund experienced a decline in the market value of its holdings in publicly-traded companies having a concentration in technology and communications.

6. 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 at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, is a loss of $418,000 and $289,500, respectively (net of 50% minority interest), is deferred to other comprehensive loss and reclassified to interest expense over the life of the swap contract.

7.  STOCK OPTIONS
On April 1, 2005 Mr. Wiener exercised options to purchase 1,500 shares which had been previously granted. The exercise price of $12,495 and the existing promissory note due to the Company from Mr. Wiener of $135,000 were satisfied by delivery by Mr. Wiener of 12,000 shares of the Company’s stock at the then market value of $12.25 per share and $495, all in accordance with the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the reload feature of the Plan Mr. Wiener received an option to purchase 12,000 shares at $12.25 per share.
 
On March 31, 2005 a director of the Company (Mr. Stuntebeck) was granted options to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company’s stock at $12.25 per share (market value). The options are not restricted, fully vested and expire in March 2015.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company reported a net loss of approximately $69,000 (or $.06 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and reported net income of $73,000 (or $.07 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This is as compared with net income of approximately $1.3 million (or $1.22 per diluted share) and $1.2 million (or $1.07 per diluted share) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.

As discussed further below, total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared with the same periods in 2005, increased by approximately $2.1 million or 423% and $3.9 million or 326%, respectively. Total expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared with the same periods in 2004, increased by approximately $1.9 million or 228% and $3.7 million or 226%, respectively. There were no sales of properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared with gains of approximately $1.8 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.


REVENUES

Rentals and related revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared with the same comparable period in 2004 decreased by $30,000 (4%). This decrease was primarily due to decreased rental revenue of approximately $108,000 as a result of the sale in April 2004 of the Fashion Square shopping center located near Jacksonville, Florida. This decrease in rental revenue was partially offset by increased rental revenue of approximately $60,000 from the retail space of the Monty’s property in Miami, Florida which was acquired in August 2004. Rentals and related revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared with the same comparable period in 2004 remained substantially unchanged.
 
Food and beverage sales of $1.4 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, consists of sales from Bayshore Rawbar, LLC, which is the restaurant portion of the Monty’s property acquired in August 2004. For further details refer to Note 3 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).
 
Marina revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared with the same comparable periods in 2004 increased by $269,000 (or 232%) and $547,000 (235%), respectively. This increase was almost entirely from transient rental dockage fees from the marina at the Monty’s property acquired in August 2004. For further details refer to Note 3 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Spa revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 of approximately $95,000 and $156,000 were from the newly constructed spa at the Grove Isle property which began operations in the first quarter 2005.

Net gain from investments in marketable securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was approximately $51,000 and $58,000, respectively. This is as compared with a net loss from investments in marketable securities of approximately $249,000 and $135,000 for the same comparable period in 2004, respectively. For further details refer to Note 4 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

EXPENSES

Expenses for rental and other properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by approximately $80,000 (or 67%) and $176,000 (73%), as compared to that for the same comparable periods in 2004, respectively. This increase was primarily due to operating expenses relating to the rental operations of the Monty’s property acquired in August 2004. For further details refer to Note 3 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Food and beverage cost of sales, labor and related costs and other operating costs are all related to the Monty’s property acquired in August 2004. For further details refer to Note 3 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

This was primarily due to increased operating expenses of the marina portion of Monty’s property acquired in August 2004. For further details refer to Note 3 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Spa expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were approximately $85,000 and $137,000, respectively, and all related to the opening of the spa at Grove Isle in the first quarter of 2005.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by approximately $147,000 (or 120%) and $230,000 (or 86%), as compared with the same comparable periods in 2004, respectively. This was primarily the result of the acquisition of property in August 2004 and the completion of construction in the first quarter of 2005.

Professional fees expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by approximately $19,000 (or 48%) and $49,000 (or 70%) as compared with the same comparable periods in 2004, respectively. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in professional services (accounting and legal) relating to the aforementioned acquisitions and improvements of properties.

Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by approximately $205,000 (or 177%) and $435,000 (or 190%), as compared with the same comparable period in 2004. This increase was primarily from new debt related to the acquisition of the Monty’s property in August 2004.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)

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 in 2005 primarily consist of maturities of debt obligations of approximately $3.9 million and commitments to fund private capital investments of approximately $1.9 million due upon demand. The funds necessary to meet these obligations are expected to be available from the proceeds of sales of properties or investments, refinancing, distributions from investments and available cash. The majority of maturing debt obligations for 2005 is a note payable to the Company’s 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“TGIF”) of approximately $3.7 million. This amount is due on demand. It is expected that this obligation when due to TGIF would be paid with funds available from distributions from its investment in TGIF and from available cash.

MATERIAL COMPONENTS OF CASH FLOWS
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net cash used by operating activities was approximately $275,000. Included in this amount are increased investments in marketable securities of approximately $621,000, decreased margin payable to brokers of $473,000 and decreased accounts payable and accrued expenses of $199,000. These uses of funds were partially offset by proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $958,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1.5 million. This was comprised primarily of improvements of properties of $1.6 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $705,000 primarily consisting of $742,000 in additional borrowings under the Monty’s property construction loan agreement.
