Cautionary Statement.

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. These risks should be considered carefully with the uncertainties described below, and all other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before deciding whether to purchase our common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management or that management currently deems immaterial may also become important factors that may harm our business, financial condition or results or operations. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks and uncertainties and you may lose part or all of your investment.

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”), is a Delaware corporation organized in 1972. The Company’s business is the ownership and management of income-producing commercial properties and it will consider other investments if they offer growth or profit potential.

HMG qualifies under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code for taxation as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), excluding its 95% owned taxable REIT subsidiary Courtland Investments, Inc. (“CII”), which files a separate tax return.

As previously reported on Form 8-K dated February 20, 2018, JY-TV Associates, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“JY-TV”) (“Seller”) and an entity one-third owned by HMG, completed the sale of its multi-family residential apartments located in Orlando, Florida pursuant to the previously reported Agreement of Sale (the “Agreement”) to Murano 240, LLC (as per an Assignment and Assumption of Agreement of Sale with Cardone Real Estate Acquisitions, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company and an unrelated entity (“Purchaser”). The final sales price was $50,150,000 and the sales proceeds were received in cash and payment of outstanding debt. The estimated gain on the sale to HMG is approximately $6.1 million before the incentive fee (or $6.00 per share).

The Company invests its idle cash in marketable securities and acquires real estate and other investments utilizing available cash or borrowing funds.

The Company’s portfolio of REIT marketable securities consists of preferred equity of large capital publicly traded REITs with a market value of approximately $2.96 million as of December 31, 2017.

The Company’s investments in non-REIT marketable securities include equity and debt securities issued primarily by large capital companies or government agencies with readily determinable fair values in varying industries. This includes real estate investment trusts and mutual funds focusing in commercial real estate activities. Substantially all 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 Consolidated Statements 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. Information regarding the amounts and types of investments in marketable securities is set forth in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.

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 the Company’s investments typically represent less than 3% of the investee’s ownership. Some of these 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 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Reference is made to Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence for discussion of the Company’s organizational structure and related party transactions.

Investment in Affiliate.

The Company’s investment in affiliate consists of a 49% equity interest in T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“TGIF”). TGIF was incorporated in Texas and operates solely from the Company’s corporate office in Miami, Florida. The Company’s CEO, Maurice Wiener, is also the CEO of TGIF. Its assets consist primarily of promissory notes receivable from its shareholders including CII and Mr. Wiener and other investments including marketable debt and equity securities. This investment’s carrying value as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively. CII’s note payable to TGIF which is due on demand was approximately $1.5 million and $1.6 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Reference is made to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Insurance, Environmental Matters and Other:

In the opinion of management, all significant real estate 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.

We are not aware of any federal, state or local environmental laws or regulations that will materially affect our earnings or competitive position or result in material capital expenditures. However, we cannot predict the effect of possible future environmental legislation or regulations on our operations.

Competition and the Company’s Market

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.

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.

Employees.

The Company’s management is provided in accordance with its Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with HMGA, Inc. (“the Adviser”), as described below under “Terms of the Agreement”. Reference is also made to Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Terms of the Advisory 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 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 August 17, 2017, the shareholders of the Company approved the renewal of the Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Adviser for a term commencing January 1, 2018 and expiring December 31, 2018.

The Adviser is majority owned by Mr. Wiener. The officers and directors of the Adviser are as follows: Maurice Wiener, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive officer and President and Carlos Camarotti, Vice President - Finance and Assistant Secretary.

Advisory Fees. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries incurred Adviser fees of approximately $703,000 and $726,000, respectively. This consisted of $660,000 in regular compensation for 2017 and 2016, and $43,000 and $66,000 in incentive fee compensation for 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Item 2. Description of Property.

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’s subsidiary CII and is primarily leased to the Adviser pursuant to a lease agreement originally dated December 1, 1999. In December 2017 the lease was renewed for two years with an increase in rent of 5% per year. The lease (as extended) provides for base rent of $55,566 per year beginning on December 1, 2017 and payable in equal monthly installments during the term of the lease which expires on December 1, 2019. The Adviser, as tenant, pays utilities, certain maintenance and security expenses relating to the leased premises.

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.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data:

Not applicable to the Company.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions in applying our critical accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure (if any) of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates and assumptions concern, among things, potential impairment of our other investments and other long-lived assets, uncertainties for Federal and state income tax and allowance for potential doubtful accounts. We evaluate those estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and on various other factors which we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere on this Form 10-K, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

Marketable Securities. Consistent with the Company’s overall investment objectives and activities, management has classified its entire marketable securities portfolio as trading. As a result, all unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s investment portfolio are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Our investments in trading equity and debt marketable securities are carried at fair value and based on quoted market prices or other observable inputs. 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 the Company’s investment typically represents less than 3% of the investee’s ownership. These investments generally do not meet the criteria of accounting under the equity method and are carried at cost less distributions 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 for the purposes of determining other-than-temporary declines. 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, that may indicate the investment has suffered other-than-temporary decline in value including. These events include but are not limited to bankruptcies, closures and declines in estimated fair value. When a decline is deemed other-than-temporary, we permanently reduce the cost basis component of the investments to its estimated fair value, and the loss is recorded as a component of net income from other investments. As such, any recoveries in the value of the investments will not be recognized until the investments are sold.

We believe 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 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 the shorter of their estimated useful lives, or the remaining lease term (if leased).

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 shorter of the term of the related leases or the assets useful life.

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 years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company reported a net loss of approximately $314,000 ($0.31 per share) and $431,000 ($0.42 per share), respectively.

Revenues:

Total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $68,000 and $66,000, respectively. This is primarily comprised of rental revenue from the leasing of the corporate offices to the Adviser.

Expenses:

Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to that of 2016 decreased slightly by approximately $8,000 (or less than 1%). This overall decrease in expenses includes increased operating expenses of properties of approximately $96,000 (or 93%) due primarily to increased repairs and maintenance costs associated with 2017 hurricane repairs at our corporate offices and other property expenses relating to our property in Montpelier, Vermont. Increased property operating expenses were offset by decreased general and administrative expenses of approximately $100,000 (or 28%) consisting primarily of decreased dues and subscriptions, non-employee stock compensation and brokerage fees.

Other Income:

Net realized and unrealized gains from investments in marketable securities:

Net gain (loss) from investments in marketable securities, including marketable securities distributed by partnerships in which the Company owns minority positions, for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, is as follows:

	2017		2016
Net realized gain from sales of marketable securities	$	62,000	$	271,000

Net unrealized gain (loss) from marketable securities		199,000		(21,000	)

Total net gain from investments in marketable securities	$	261,000	$	250,000

Net realized gain from sales of marketable securities consisted of approximately $364,000 of gains net of $302,000 of losses for the year ended December 31, 2017. The comparable amounts in fiscal year 2016 were approximately $648,000 of gains net of $377,000 of losses.

Consistent with the Company’s overall current investment objectives and activities, the entire marketable securities portfolio is classified as trading (as defined by U.S generally accepted accounting principles). Unrealized gains or losses from marketable securities are recorded as other income in the Consolidated Statements 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 attempts to mitigate its risk by diversifying its marketable securities portfolio.

Equity loss in residential real estate partnership:

For the year ended December 31, 2017 JY-TV Associates LLC reported a net loss of approximately $671,000, which includes depreciation and amortization expense of $1,556,000 and interest expense of $1,123,000. The Company’s portion of the 2017 loss was approximately $224,000. For the year ended December 31, 2016 JY-TV reported a net loss of approximately $849,000, which includes depreciation and amortization expense of $712,000 and interest expense of $289,000. The Company’s portion of the 2016 loss was approximately $283,000.

Net income from other investments is summarized below (excluding other than temporary impairment losses):

	2017		2016
Venture capital funds – diversified businesses (a)	$	270,000	$	231,000
Partnerships owning real estate and related investments (a)		224,000		148,000
Venture capital funds – technology businesses		27,000		(13,000	)
Investment in 49% owned affiliate and other (b)		70,000		12,000
Total net income from other investments	$	591,000	$	378,000

(a) The gains in 2017 and 2016 consist of various cash distributions from investments owning diversified businesses and real estate and related investments which made cash distributions from the sale or refinancing of operating companies.

(b) This gain represents income from the Company’s 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“TGIF”). The increase in gain from TGIF in 2017 as compared with 2016 is primarily due to gains on disposition of other real estate investments. In 2017 and 2016 TGIF declared and paid a cash dividend of which the Company’s portion was approximately $193,000 each year. These dividends were recorded as reduction in the investment carrying value as required under the equity method of accounting for investments.

Other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses from other investments:

There were no OTTI losses for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The OTTI loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $69,0000 and consists of a recognized impairment loss in an investment in a partnership that invested in technology related companies.

Net income 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

Interest, dividend and other income for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared with 2016 decreased by approximately $117,000 (or 20%). This was primarily due to a decreased dividend income as a result of the sale of the majority of our REIT common equity marketable securities in July 2017.

Provision for income taxes:

The Company 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 its 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 may be subject to corporate tax.

The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2017 was approximately $11,000 and was primarily attributable to deferred tax expense of $14,000 less current federal tax benefit of $3,000 relating to refunded tax on prohibited REIT income. The benefit from income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2016 was approximately $113,000 and was attributable to deferred tax benefit of $145,000 less current federal tax provision of $28,000 relating to non-recurring prohibited REIT income.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company, excluding its taxable REIT subsidiary, CII, has an estimated tax net operating loss carryover (NOL) estimated at $1.4 million.

The Company’s 95%-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, CII, files a separate income tax return and its operations are not included in the REIT’s income tax return.

For CII, 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, unrealized gains and losses of marketable securities, depreciable assets and the future benefit of a net operating loss, as of December 31, 2017, and 2016 the Company has recorded a net deferred tax liability of $84,000 and $76,000, respectively.

As of December 31, 2017, CII has an estimated NOL of approximately $989,000 which has been fully reserved due to CII historically having tax losses.

Effect of Inflation.

Inflation affects the costs of maintaining the Company’s investments.

Liquidity, Capital Expenditure Requirements and Capital Resources.

The Company’s material commitments primarily consist of a note payable to the Company’s 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“TGIF”) of approximately $1.5 million due on demand (see Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence), and contributions committed to other investments of approximately $2.4 million due upon demand. The funds necessary to meet these obligations are expected from the proceeds from the sales of investments, distributions from investments and available cash and equivalents ($5.2 million at December 31, 2017).

A summary of the Company’s contractual cash obligations at December 31, 2017 is as follows:

	Payments Due by Period
Contractual
Obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1 – 3 years		4 – 5 years		After 5 years
Note payable	$	1,550,000	$	1,550,000		—		—		—
Other investments commitments		2,417,000		2,417,000		—		—		—
Total	$	3,967,000	$	3,967,000		—		—		—

The timing of amounts due under commitments for other investments is determined by the managing partners of the individual investments.

Material Changes in Operating, Investing and Financing Cash Flows.

The Company’s cash flows are generated primarily from its dividends, interest and sales proceeds of marketable securities, distributions from investments and borrowings.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $788,000, primarily consisting of net loss before income taxes and other income of approximately $1,395,000, plus interest, dividends and other income of approximately $473,000 and changes in assets and liabilities of approximately $133,000.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $3.3 million and consisted primarily of proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $7.1 million, distributions from other investments of $1.5 million, a dividend from TGIF of $193,000, a distribution from investment in residential real estate partnership of $130,000 and proceeds from collections of mortgage receivables of $78,000. These sources of funds were partially offset by $3.6 million of purchases of marketable securities and $2.1 million of contributions to other investments.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $333,000 and consisted primarily of dividend paid of $501,000 and $50,000 of repayment of note payable to TGIF. These uses of funds were partially offset by margin borrowings of approximately $218,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since December 31, 2010.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 and 2016

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business and Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc. (“we” or 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 is from property rental operations of its corporate offices.

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”). In March 2016, this 95% owned corporation of the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation so that, as amended, the holders of Class A and Class B common stock of CII shall have and possess the exclusive right to notice of and to vote at any meeting of the stockholders and any adjournment thereof, and the exclusive right to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting. Class A and Class B shareholders of CII shall have equal voting rights. CII is the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary which files a separate tax return. CII’s operations are not part of the REIT tax return.

HMG Orlando, LLC (“HMGO”). This wholly owned limited liability company was formed in August 2014. In September 2014 HMGO acquired a one-third equity membership interest in JY-TV Associates, LLC a Florida limited liability company (“JY-TV”) and entered into the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of JY-TV (the “Agreement”). JY-TV was formed in 2014 for the sole purpose of purchasing and constructing two hundred forty (240) unit rental apartments on approximately 9.5 acres in Orlando, Florida. The other two initial members of JY-TV are not related to the Company. The construction on the rental apartments was completed in September 2016, with partial occupancy commencing in June 2016. On February 20, 2018 JY-TV sold the apartments to an unrelated third party.

260 River Corp (“260”). This wholly owned corporation of the Company owns an approximate 70% interest in a vacant commercially zoned building located on 5.4 acres in Montpelier, Vermont. Development of this property is being considered.

HMG Bayshore, LLC (“HMGBS”). This is a wholly owned Florida limited liability company which owns an investment in an entity which invests in mortgages secured by real estate.

HMG Atlanta, LLC (“HMGATL”). This is a wholly owned Florida limited liability company which owns a 1.5% interest in an entity which owns and operates two residential real estate properties located in north east Atlanta, Georgia.

Baleen Associates, Inc. (“Baleen”). This corporation is wholly owned by CII and its sole asset is a 50% interest in a partnership which operates an executive suite rental business in Coconut Grove, Florida.

Preparation of Financial Statements. The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes. The Company 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 its 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. The Company’s 95%-owned taxable REIT 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 ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). This requires a Company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this 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. 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 follows the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 740, 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. This topic also provides guidance on de-recognition, 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, 2017 and 2016. The Company’s federal income tax returns since 2014 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for a period of three years after the returns were filed.

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.

Depreciation. Depreciation of the corporate offices properties held for investment is computed using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of 39.5 years. Depreciation expense for the corporate offices for each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $15,000.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, which is defined under the applicable accounting standards as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measure date. The Company uses valuation techniques to measure fair value, maximizing the use of observable outputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs include management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation.

An investment’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying value of financial instruments including other receivables, notes and advances due from related parties (if any), accounts payable and accrued expenses and mortgages and notes payable approximate their fair values at December 31, 2017 and 2016, due to their relatively short terms or variable interest rates.

Cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of transparency. Other investments which are measured by investees at net asset value per share or its equivalent are also classified within Level 2.

The valuation of other investments not included above requires significant judgment by the Company’s management due to the absence of quoted market values, inherent lack of liquidity and long-term nature of such assets and have been classified within Level 3. Such investments are valued initially based upon transaction price. Valuations are reviewed periodically utilizing available market data and additional factors to determine if the carrying value of these investments should be adjusted. In determining valuation adjustments, emphasis is placed on market participants’ assumptions and market-based information over entity-specific information.

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 Consolidated Statements 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, 2017, and 2016 there was approximately $267,000 and $49,000 of marketable securities pledged as collateral pursuant to margin agreements.

Treasury bills, from time to time, are pledged as collateral pursuant to broker margin requirements. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016 there were no such margin balances outstanding.

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 collectability of those balances. Management’s estimates of collectability 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, 2017, and 2016, the Company had no allowances for bad debt.

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 follows ASC Topic 323-30 in accounting for its investments in limited partnerships. This guidance requires the use of the equity method for limited partnership investments of more than 3 to 5 percent.

The Company 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.

Income (loss) per common share. Net income (loss) per common share (basic and diluted) is based on the net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net loss per share includes the dilutive effect of options to acquire common stock. Common shares outstanding include issued shares less shares held in treasury. There were 12,500 stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The 2017 and 2016 options were not included in the diluted earnings per share computation as their effect would have been de minimums or anti-dilutive.

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.

In July 2017 CII sold a 20,000 square foot undeveloped residential parcel of land located in Paxton, Massachusetts for approximately $44,000 and recognized a gain of approximately $10,000. There were no sales of property in 2016.

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 equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalent deposits in excess of federally insured limits, marketable securities, other receivables and notes and mortgages receivable. From time to time the Company may have bank deposits in excess of federally insured limits (presently $250,000). The Company evaluates these excess deposits and transfers amounts to brokerage accounts and other banks to mitigate this exposure. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively, we had approximately $52,000 and $50,000 of deposits in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Other intangible assets:

Deferred loan costs, when applicable, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the loan. This method approximates the effective interest rate method.

Noncontrolling Interest. Noncontrolling interest represents the noncontrolling or minority partners’ proportionate share of the equity of the Company’s majority owned subsidiaries. A summary for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

	2017		2016
Noncontrolling interest balance at beginning of year	$	223,000	$	211,000
Noncontrolling partners’ interest in operating gains (losses) of consolidated subsidiary		10,000		5,000

Revenue recognition. CII is the lessor of the Company’s principal executive offices and the Adviser corporate offices. This lease agreement is classified as an operating lease 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. In December 2017 the lease was renewed for two years expiring on December 1, 2019, with an increase of 5% in rent for each year extended. Beginning in December 2017 the base rent is $55,566 per year payable in equal monthly installments during the term of the lease. The Adviser, as tenant, pays utilities, certain maintenance and security expenses relating to the leased premises.

Impairment of long-lived assets. 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. There was no impairment of long-lived assets in 2017 and 2016.

Share-based compensation.

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Share-Based Payments”. The Company has used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options on the dates of grant.

Recent accounting pronouncements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers when it satisfies performance obligations. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income: Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, which amends ASC Topic 610-20. ASU No. 2017-05 provides guidance on how entities recognize sales, including partial sales, of nonfinancial assets (and in-substance nonfinancial assets) to non-customers. ASU No. 2017-05 requires the seller to recognize a full gain or loss in a partial sale of nonfinancial assets, to the extent control is not retained. Any noncontrolling interest retained by the seller would, accordingly, be measured at fair value. Both ASU No. 2014-09 and 2017-05 will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2018. The standards permit the use of either the full retrospective method or the modified retrospective method. The Company has concluded it will use the modified retrospective method for transition under both standards, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standards, if any, would be recognized at the date of initial application.

The Company has reviewed its revenue streams and determined that the significant majority of its revenue is derived from financial instruments (i.e. receivables, debt & equity securities, investments and financial instruments), which are not in scope of the revenue standard. In addition, the Company also has sales of real estate which have historically been primarily all-cash transactions with no contingencies and no future involvement in the operations. For its all-cash sale transactions, the Company does not anticipate a significant change to the timing of revenue recognition upon adoption of this new revenue standard.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The standard requires all leases with lease terms over 12 months to be capitalized as a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet at the date of lease commencement. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating. This distinction will be relevant for the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This standard will be effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020 and we are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe that other standards which have been issued but are not yet effective will have a significant impact on its financial statements.

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. Accordingly, all unrealized gains (losses) on this portfolio are recorded in income. Included in investments in marketable securities is approximately $2.96 million and $6.25 million of large capital real estate investment trusts (REITs) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, net unrealized gains (losses) on trading securities were approximately $199,000 and ($21,000), respectively.

Net unrealized gains (losses) from marketable securities		199,000		(21,000	)
Total net gains from investments in marketable securities	$	261,000	$	250,000

Consistent with the Company’s overall current investment objectives and activities the entire marketable securities portfolio is classified as trading (as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles). Unrealized gains or losses of marketable securities on hand are recorded in income.

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 the Company’s investment typically represents less than 3% of the investee’s ownership. These investments do not meet the criteria of accounting under the equity method and accordingly are carried at cost less distributions and other than temporary unrealized losses.

The Company’s portfolio of other investments consists of approximately 46 individual investments primarily in limited partnerships with varying investment objectives and focus. Management has categorized these investments by investment focus: technology and communications, diversified businesses, real estate related and other.

As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, other investments had an aggregate carrying value of $6.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has committed to fund an additional $2.4 million as required by agreements with current investees or for new investments. The carrying value of these investments is equal to contributions less distributions and other than temporary impairment loss adjustments. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company made contributions in these investments of approximately $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, and received distributions of $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

The Company’s other investments are summarized below.

	Carrying values as of December 31,
Investment Focus	2017		2016

Technology and communications	$	163,000	$	172,000

Diversified businesses		2,615,000		2,601,000

Real estate and related		2,999,000		1,900,000

Other (primarily private banks)		635,000		635,000

Totals	$	6,412,000	$	5,308,000

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 other-than-temporary decline in value. When a decline is deemed other-than-temporary, an investment loss is recognized.

Net income from other investments is summarized below (excluding other than temporary impairment loss):

	2017		2016
Income from investment in 49% owned affiliate (a)	$	70,000	$	12,000
Real estate and related (b)		224,000		148,000
Diversified businesses (c)		270,000		231,000
Technology and related		27,000		(13,000	)
Total net income from other investments	$	591,000	$	378,000

(a) This gain represents income from the Company’s 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“TGIF”). The increase in gain from TGIF in 2017 as compared with 2016 is primarily due to gains on disposition of other real estate investments. In 2017 and 2016 TGIF declared and paid a cash dividend, the Company’s portion of which was approximately $193,000 each year. These dividends were recorded as reduction in the investment carrying value as required under the equity method of accounting for investments.

(b) The gain in 2017 and 2016 consists primarily of cash distributions from an investment in real estate partnership which distributed proceeds from sales of its real estate.

(c) The gain in 2017 and 2016 consists of cash distributions from various investments in partnerships owning diversified businesses which made cash distributions from the sale or refinancing of operating companies and/or distributions from operating activities.

Other than temporary impairment losses from other investments

For the year ended December 31, 2017, there were no valuation losses from other than temporary impairment losses from other investments. For the year ended December 31, 2016, valuation losses from other than temporary impairment losses from other investments of $69,000 were recorded, consisting of a valuation loss from an investment in a limited liability company which invests in medical technology and experienced other than temporary impairment loss.

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.

The following tables present gross unrealized losses and fair values for those investments that were in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, aggregated by investment category and the length of time that investments have been in a continuous loss position:

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 corporation which holds promissory notes receivable from its shareholders, including CII and Maurice Wiener, the Chairman of both the Company and T.G.I.F. Reference is made to Note 9 for discussion on notes payable by CII to T.G.I.F. This investment is recorded under the equity method of accounting. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, income from investment in affiliate amounted to approximately $70,000 and $12,000, respectively and is included in net income from other investments in HMG’s consolidated statements of income. The increase in gain from TGIF in 2017 as compared with 2016 is primarily due to gains on disposition of other real estate investments. In 2017 and 2016 T.G.I.F. declared and paid a cash dividend of $.07 per share. CII’s dividend amount received was approximately $193,000 each year. This dividend is recorded as a reduction in the carrying amount of CII investment in T.G.I.F. as required under the equity method of accounting.

In 2017 the remaining principal and interest outstanding was collected, and the loan collateral was released.

INVESTMENT IN RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIP

In September 2014, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary (HMG Orlando LLC, a Delaware limited liability company), acquired a one-third equity membership interest in JY-TV and entered into the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of JY-TV (the “Agreement”). On May 19, 2015, pursuant to the terms of a Construction Loan Agreement, between JY-TV or the “Borrower”, and Wells Fargo Bank ("Lender"), Lender loaned to the Borrower the principal sum of $27 million pursuant to a senior secured construction loan ("Loan"). The proceeds of the Loan were used to finance the construction of the apartments containing 240 units totaling approximately 239,000 net rentable square feet on a 9.5-acre site located in Orlando, Florida ("Project"). Construction of the Project which commenced in June 2015, and occupancy began in June 2016. As of December 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. Repayment of the construction was made upon closing of the sale of the Project in February 2018. Approximately 97% of the Project was leased as of December 31, 2017. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 JY-TV reported net losses of approximately 657,000 and $849,000, respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization expense of $1.1 million $712,000, respectively, and interest expense of $1.5 million and $289,000, respectively. The Company’s portion of JY-TV’s losses for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 was approximately $219,000 and $283,000, respectively.

This investment is accounted for under the equity method.

INCOME TAXES

The Company as a qualifying real estate investment trust (“REIT”) 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 its 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 may be subject to corporate tax.

As previously reported, in January 2017 and 2016, the Company paid a cash dividend of approximately $501,000 and $517,000 (or $.50 per share) to shareholders of record as of December 29, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The dividends were a return of capital to shareholders. No dividends were declared for the year ended December 31, 2017.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company, excluding its taxable REIT subsidiary, CII, has an estimated tax net operating loss carryover (NOL) estimated at $1.4 million.

The Company’s 95%-owned taxable REIT 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 ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. ASC Topic 740 requires a Company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this 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. 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 of December 31, 2017, and 2016, the Company has a net deferred tax liability of approximately $84,000 and $76,000, respectively, as a result of timing differences associated with the carrying value of the investment in affiliate (TGIF) and other investments. CII’s NOL carryover to 2018 is estimated at $989,000 and is fully reserved due to due to CII historically having tax losses.

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, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

	2017			2016
Loss before income taxes	$	(294,000	)	$	(538,000	)

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company’s 2011 Stock Option Plan (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. The Plan expires on August 24, 2021.

The Company’s policy is to record stock compensation expense in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. Stock based compensation expense is recognized using the fair-value method for all awards. No stock options were granted, exercised or forfeited in the year ended December 31, 2017. There were 12,500 stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2016.

For the year ended December 31, 2016 the Company granted 12,500 stock options to one officer and three directors. The exercise price of the options is equal to $9.31 per share, the market price of the stock on the date of grant. The options expire on June 29, 2021. The Company determined the fair value of its option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used to value the options granted during the year ended December 31, 2016: 5 year expected life; expected volatility of approximately 39%; risk-free of .45% and annual dividend yield of 4%. The expected life for options granted during the period represents the period of time that options are to be outstanding based on the expiration date of the Plan. Expected volatilities are based upon historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a period equal to the 5-year expected life, from the date of grant.

The weighted average fair value for the 12,500 options granted during the year ended December 31, 2016 was $2.14 per share.

The Company’s non-employee stock compensation expense based on the fair value at the date of grant for stock options was approximately $26,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and is included in the results of operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, there is no unrecognized non-employee stock compensation expense related to unvested stock options under the Plan.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option plan as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and changes during the periods ending on those dates are presented below:

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s 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 this Form 10-K have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective 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, was made known to them by others within those entities and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Management’s Assessment on Internal Control over Financial Reporting/Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Permitted Omission from Management’s Assessment

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) based on the Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO”). Management has selected the COSO framework for its evaluation as it is a control framework recognized by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board that is free from bias, permits reasonably consistent qualitative and quantitative measurement of our internal controls, is sufficiently complete so that relevant controls are not omitted and is relevant to an evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting.

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management, including the Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officers, based on their evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2017.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the last fiscal quarter, we have not made any change to our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Stock Options.

The Company’s 2011 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), which was approved by the shareholders on August 25, 2011 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. In 2011 options were granted to all officers and directors to purchase an aggregate of 102,000 common shares at no less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of grant. Options are not transferable, and the Plan expires on August 25, 2021 or upon termination of employment, except to a limited extent in the event of retirement, disability or death of the grantee.

The Plan, which permits the grant of qualified and non-qualified options 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. Shares subject to an option may be purchased by the optionee within five 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.
