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-Q, 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, 2008.  The balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 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
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In January 2009, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 141R, Business Combinations (“FAS 141R”), Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“FAS 160”), Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 07-1 (“EITF 07-1”), Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements, EITF Issue No. 08-6, Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations (“EITF 08-6”), EITF Issue No. 08-7, Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets (“EITF 08-7”) and FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”).

FAS 141R expands the scope of acquisition accounting to all transactions under which control of a business is obtained. This standard requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date fair values with limited exceptions. Additionally, FAS 141R requires that contingent consideration as well as contingent assets and liabilities be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date, that acquired in-process research and development be capitalized and recorded as intangible assets at the acquisition date, and also requires transaction costs and costs to restructure the acquired company be expensed. Transactions are now being accounted for under this standard. On April 1, 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, which is effective January 1, 2009, and amends the guidance in FAS 141R to require that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can reasonably be estimated. If the acquisition date fair value of an asset acquired or liability assumed that arises from a contingency cannot be determined, the asset or liability would be recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (“FAS 5”), and FASB Interpretation No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss. If the fair value is not determinable and the FAS 5 criteria are not met, no asset or liability would be recognized.

FAS 160 provides guidance for the accounting, reporting and disclosure of noncontrolling interests and requires, among other things, those noncontrolling interests be recorded as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this standard resulted in the reclassification of Minority Interests (now referred to as noncontrolling interests) to a separate component of Stockholders’ Equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is now shown separately from parent net income in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Prior periods have been restated to reflect the presentation and disclosure requirements of FAS 160.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
(Unaudited)
 
EITF 07-1 defines collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements for transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and third parties. The effect of adoption of EITF 07-1 was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities to allow for a better understanding of their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Among other things, FAS 161 requires disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and associated gains and losses in a tabular format (see Note 6). Since FAS 161 requires only additional disclosures about the Company’s derivatives and hedging activities, the adoption of FAS 161 did not affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle holders to receive no forfeitable dividends before they vest will be considered participating securities and included in the earnings per share calculation pursuant to the two class method. The effect of adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 was not material to the Company’s results of operations.

EITF 08-6, which is effective January 1, 2009, clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments and is applied on a prospective basis to future transactions.

EITF 08-7, which is effective January 1, 2009, clarifies that a defensive intangible asset (an intangible asset that the entity does not intend to actively use, but intends to hold to prevent others from obtaining access to the asset) should be accounted for as a separate unit of accounting and should be assigned a useful life that reflects the entity’s consumption of the expected benefits related to the asset. EITF 08-7 is applied on a prospective basis to future transactions.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP 157-4), and FSP FASB 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP 107-1). These two staff positions relate to fair value measurements and related disclosures. The FASB also issued a third FSP relating to the accounting for impaired debt securities titled FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP 115-2). These standards are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), which establishes general standards of accounting for, and requires disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 165 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on August 13, 2009. We are not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140 (SFAS 166). SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures in order to enhance information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entity’s continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company will adopt SFAS 166 in fiscal 2010 and is evaluating the impact it will have on the consolidated results of the Company.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS 167). The amendments include: (1) the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, (2) a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and (3) changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. The Company will adopt SFAS 167 in fiscal 2010 and is evaluating the impact it will have on the consolidated results of the Company.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 168). SFAS 168 replaces FASB Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (the Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company will begin to use the new Codification when referring to GAAP in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2009. This will not have an impact on the consolidated results of the Company.

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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments in marketable securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is summarized below:
   
Three months ended

Net realized (loss) gain from sales of securities
  $ 57,000     $ (63,000 )   $ (3,000 )   $ (94,000 )
Unrealized net gain (loss) in trading securities
    523,000       36,000       422,000       (121,000 )
Total net (loss) gain from investments in marketable securities
  $ 580,000     $ (27,000 )   $ 419,000     $ (215,000 )

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 net unrealized gain from in trading securities was $523,000 and $422,000, respectively. This is compared to a net unrealized gain of $36,000 and a net unrealized loss of $121,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.  The large increase in unrealized gains in 2009 is in line with the overall recovery in the US stock markets since lows were reached in March 2009, and also a result of the Company’s increased investments in corporate bonds which have performed well during the second quarter of 2009.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009 net realized gain from sales of marketable securities of approximately $57,000 consisted of approximately $64,000 of gross gains net of $7,000 of gross losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 net realized loss from sales of marketable securities of approximately $3,000 consisted of approximately $103,000 of gross losses net of $100,000 of gross gains.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 net realized losses from sales of marketable securities of approximately $63,000 and $94,000, respectively, consisted of approximately $154,000 of gross losses net of $91,000 of gross gains for the three month period and $262,000 of gross losses net of $168,000 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, 2009, the Company’s portfolio of other investments had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $3.6 million.  The Company has committed to fund an additional $1.0 million as required by agreements with the investees.  The carrying value of these investments is equal to contributions less distributions and loss valuation adjustments.  During the six months ended June 30, 2009 the Company contributed approximately $116,000 toward these commitments and received cash distributions from these investments of $315,000 primarily from the liquidation of one stock fund.

There was no other significant activity relating to the Company’s other investments during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company received approximately $149,000 of cash proceeds from the redemption of a private equity fund resulting in a gain to the Company of $94,000.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of June 30, 2009 the Company’s other investments consists of 24 individual investments in limited partnerships with varying investment objectives and focus. Management has categorized these investments by investment focus (technology & communications, diversified businesses and real estate and related). As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were a total of seven and four investments, respectively, out of the 24, that were considered temporarily impaired. Of those seven and four investments, five and four, respectively have been impaired for greater than twelve months. The majority of the Company’s other investments have not suffered any impairment.
 
Unrealized losses on the Company’s other investments generally occur as a result of valuation adjustments recorded by the managing partners of these partnerships and are based on estimated changes to the value of the underlying portfolio companies. Weaker financial performance, coupled with the impact of new fair value accounting rules have resulted in declines in the carry values of many portfolio companies. These new accounting rules established a framework for measuring the fair value of illiquid investments, such as private equity investments. In order to determine the fair value of their portfolio investments, private equity managers review a number of factors, including a portfolio company’s most recent financial results, relevant valuation metrics and financial performance of comparable public and private companies; and other company and market specific characteristics. As a result, certain portfolio company valuations, which are based in large part on the valuation metrics of comparable public companies, have been negatively impacted. Nevertheless, fair value markdowns for unrealized portfolio companies do not necessarily represent a permanent loss of value, just as mark ups do not always lead to realized gains.
 
When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, the Company did not recognize any material impairment charges on its other investments. As of June 30, 2009, the Company does not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

6. INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACT
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through its borrowing activities.  In order to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates, the Company has entered into 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 2.45% plus the one-month LIBOR Rate times the same notional amount.  The Company designated this interest rate swap contract as a cash flow hedge.  As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the fair value (net of 50% minority interest) of the cash flow hedge was a loss of approximately $642,000 and $1,078,000, respectively, which has been recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) and will be reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

7. FAIR VALUE INSTRUMENTS
In accordance with SFAS 157, the Company measures cash equivalents, marketable securities, other investments and interest rate swap contract at fair value. Our cash equivalents, marketable securities and interest rate swap contract are classified within Level 1 or Level 2. This is because our cash equivalents, marketable securities and interest rate swap are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. Our other investments are classified within Level 3 because they are valued using valuation models which use some inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity and are significant.

We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
     
Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our consolidated financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of June 30, 2009.
     
We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the consolidated financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company reported net income attributable to the Company of approximately $240,000 ($.24 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and a net loss of approximately $6,000 (less than $.01 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  This is as compared with a net loss of approximately $13,000 ($.01 per share) and $267,000 ($.26 per share) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.
 
As discussed further below, total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared with the same periods in 2008, decreased by approximately $278,000 (9%) and $360,000 (6%), respectively.  Total expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared with the same periods in 2008, decreased by approximately $179,000 (6%) and $241,000 (4%), respectively.

REVENUES
Rentals and related revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared with the same periods in 2008 increased by $40,000 (10%) and $86,000 (11%), respectively. This was due to increased rental revenue from the Monty’s retail space and increase rent from Grove Isle as a result of inflation adjustments to base rent.

  $ (43,000 )   $ 9,000     $ (37,000 )   $ 52,000  
 
Spa revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared with the same periods in 2008 decreased by $100,000 (50%) and $184,000 (43%), respectively due to a general decline in hotel guests and demand for spa and other leisure services.

Net realized and unrealized  loss from investments in marketable securities:
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments in marketable securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $580,000 and $419,000, respectively.  Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments in marketable securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately ($27,000) and ($215,000), respectively.  For further details refer to Note 4 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Interest, dividend and other income
Interest, dividend and other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $95,000 and $181,000, respectively.  Interest, dividend and other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $248,000 and $337,000, respectively. The decreases in 2009 were primarily due to the receipt of a $168,000 nonrecurring real estate leasing commission received in June 2008.

EXPENSES
Expenses for rental and other properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were $186,000 and $384,000, respectively. Expenses for rental and other properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 were $136,000 and $269,000, respectively.  The increase in 2009 is primarily due to increased repairs and maintenance at Grove Isle in connection with the change of tenants which occurred in November 2008, and increased rent expense at the Monty’s property.
 
For comparisons of all food and beverage related expenses refer to Restaurant Operations (above) summarized statement of income for Monty’s restaurant.

For comparisons of all marina related expenses refer to Marina Operations (above) for summarized and combined statements of income for marina operations.

For comparisons of all spa related expenses refer to Spa Operations (above) for summarized statements of income for spa operations.

Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $282,000 and $562,000, respectively.  Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $334,000 and $689,000, respectively. The decrease in 2009 is due to lower interest rates.

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 2009 primarily consist of maturities of debt obligations of approximately $4.2 million and commitments to fund private capital investments of approximately $1 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 maturing debt obligations for 2009 primarily consists of the note payable to the Company’s 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“TGIF”) of approximately $3.7 million which is due on demand.  The obligation due to TGIF will be paid with funds available from distributions from the Company’s investment in TGIF and from available cash.
