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 nine months ended September 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
In September 2009, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for nongovernmental entities, except for certain FASB Statements not yet incorporated into ASC. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for registrants. The discussion below includes the applicable ASC reference.

The Company adopted ASC Topic 810-10 Consolidation (formerly SFAS No. 160, Non controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51) effective January 2, 2009. Topic 810-10 changes the manner of presentation and related disclosures for the non controlling interest in a subsidiary (formerly referred to as a minority interest) and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The presentation changes are reflected retrospectively in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

ASC Topic 815-10 Derivatives and Hedging (formerly SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities) was adopted by the Company effective January 2, 2009. The guidance under Topic 815-10 changes the manner of presentation and related disclosures of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses.

The Company adopted ASC Topic 825-10 Financial Instruments (formerly, FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments), which requires quarterly disclosure of information about the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of Topic 825-10. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective April 1, 2009. This disclosure is in included in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 820-10-65 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 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). The standard provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with Topic 820-10-65 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate if a transaction is not orderly. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective April 1, 2009 with no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted, ASC Topic 855-10 Subsequent Events (formerly SFAS 165, Subsequent Events) effective April 1, 2009. This pronouncement changes the general standards of accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.

(Continued)
(Unaudited)

In June 2009, the FASB finalized SFAS No. 167, Amending FASB interpretation No. 46(R), which was included in ASC Topic 810. The provisions of ASC 810 amend the definition of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and will require the Company to make an assessment each reporting period of its variable interests. The provisions of this pronouncement are effective January 1, 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact of the statement on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 168 codified all previously issued accounting pronouncements, eliminating the prior hierarchy of accounting literature, in a single source for authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. SFAS 168, now ASC Topic 105-10 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which clarifies, among other things, that when a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, an entity must measure fair value using one or more specified techniques. The Company adopted the pronouncement effective July 1, 2009 with no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which revises the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance and changes the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element revenue arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting, modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables and expands the disclosures required for multiple-element revenue arrangements. The pronouncement is effective for financial statements issued after December 31, 2010. The Company does not expect the pronouncement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company evaluated subsequent events through November 10, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and there was no subsequent event which impacted the Company’s financial position or results of operations as of September 30, 2009 or which required disclosure.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is summarized below:

Unrealized net gain (loss) in trading securities
    596,000       (737,000 )     1,018,000       (858,000 )
Total net (loss) gain from investments in marketable securities
  $ 540,000     $ (689,000 )   $ 959,000     $ (904,000 )

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 net unrealized gain from in trading securities was $596,000 and $1,018,000, respectively. This is compared to a net unrealized loss of $737,000 and $858,000 for the three and nine months ended September 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 and third quarters of 2009.

For the three months ended September 30, 2009 net realized loss from sales of marketable securities of approximately $56,000 consisted of approximately $153,000 of gross losses net of $97,000 of gross gains. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 net realized loss from sales of marketable securities of approximately $59,000 consisted of approximately $257,000 of gross losses net of $198,000 of gross gains.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 net realized gain (loss) from sales of marketable securities of approximately $48,000 and ($46,000), respectively, consisted of approximately $126,000 of gross gains net of $78,000 of gross losses for the three month period and $340,000 of gross losses net of $294,000 of gross gains for the nine 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 September 30, 2009, the Company’s portfolio of other investments had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $3.6 million.  As of September 30, 2009 the Company has committed to fund an additional $941,000 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 nine months ended September 30, 2009 the Company contributed approximately $431,000 toward these commitments and received cash distributions from these investments of $330,000 primarily from the redemption of one stock fund. Included in the contributions is a new investment of $250,000 in a private bank in September 2009.

As of September 30, 2009 the Company’s other investments consists of 25 individual investments primarily in limited partnerships with varying investment objectives and focus. Management has categorized these investments by investment focus (technology & communications, diversified businesses/distressed debt, real estate and related and other).

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 nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized $280,000 for material impairment charges on its other investments. As of September 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 September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the fair value (net of 50% minority interest) of the cash flow hedge was a loss of approximately $726,000 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 ASC Topic 820-10 (formerly, 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.

9. INCOME TAXES
We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of ASC Topic 740-10, on January 1, 2007. This 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. It 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 September 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
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 the Company reported net loss attributable to the Company of approximately $4,000 (less than $.01 per share) and $10,000 ($.01 per share), respectively. This is as compared with a net loss of approximately $762,000 ($.74 per share) and $1,030,000 ($1.01 per share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
 
 
As discussed further below, total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the same periods in 2008, decreased by approximately $216,000 (9%) and $576,000 (7%), respectively.  Total expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with the same periods in 2008, decreased by approximately $203,000 (7%) and $443,000 (5%), respectively.

REVENUES
Real estate and related:
Rentals and related revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the same periods in 2008 increased by $13,000 (3%) and $99,000 (8%), respectively. This increase was primarily due to increased rental revenue from the Monty’s retail space and increased rent from Grove Isle as a result of inflation adjustments to base rent.

Spa revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the same periods in 2008 decreased by $74,000 (32%) and $258,000 (40%), respectively due to a general decline in hotel guests and demand for spa and other leisure services.

Investment and related activities:

Net realized and unrealized loss from investments in marketable securities:
Net realized and unrealized gain from investments in marketable securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $540,000 and $959,000, respectively.  This is as compared with net realized and unrealized loss from investments in marketable securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 of approximately $689,000 and $904,000, respectively.  For further details refer to Note 4 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Net income from other investments:
Net loss from other investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $249,000 and $200,000, respectively.  Net income from other investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately $7,000 and $165,000, respectively. For further details refer to Note 5 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Interest, dividend and other income
Interest, dividend and other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $147,000 and $328,000, respectively.  This is as compared with interest, dividend and other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 of approximately $73,000 and $409,000, respectively. The increase in the three months comparable periods was primarily due to consulting revenue earned by Courtland Houston Inc. in September 2009.  The decrease in the nine month comparable periods was primarily due to the receipt of a $168,000 nonrecurring real estate leasing commission received by Courtland Houston Inc. in June 2008, partially offset by increased interest income from investment in bonds.

EXPENSES
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with the same comparable periods in 2008, expenses for rental and other properties increased by $66,000 and $180,000, respectively.  These increased in 2009 are primarily due to increased rent expense allocated to the real estate rental operations 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.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with the same comparable periods in 2008, interest expense decreased by $51,000 and $178,000, respectively. These decreases are primarily 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 during the next twelve month period primarily consist of maturities of debt obligations of approximately $7.8 million and commitments to fund private capital investments of approximately $941,000 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 remaining 2009, and those due in 2010 consists of the Grove Isle mortgage note payable of approximately $3.7 million which matures in September 2010. The Company expects to renew this loan in 2010.  The loan due 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.
