HMG/COURTLAND PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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, 2009.  The balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 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 PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-19, “Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates (Topic 830)”. The amendments in this Update are effective for reported balances in an entity’s financial statements that differ from their underlying U.S. dollar denominated values occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after March 15, 2010. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted these amendments in 2010 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-18, “Receivables (Topic 310): Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset.”  The amendments in this Update are effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. Early application is permitted. The Company adopted these amendments in the third quarter of 2010 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, “Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method”, which  provides guidance on defining the milestone and determining when the use of the milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development transactions is appropriate. It provides criteria for evaluating if the milestone is substantive and clarifies that a vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved, if the milestone meets all the criteria to be considered substantive. ASU 2010-17 is effective for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 with prospective application.  Early adoption is permitted with specific provisions.  The Company adopted these amendments in the third quarter of 2010 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) — Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives.”  ASU 2010-11 clarifies that the only form of an embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements are those that relate to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The Company adopted these amendments in the third quarter of 2010 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Software (Topic 985) — Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)”. ASU 2009-14 requires tangible products that contain software and non-software elements that work together to deliver the products essential functionality to be evaluated under the accounting standard regarding multiple deliverable arrangements. This standard update may be adopted prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the date of adoption or retrospectively for all revenue arrangements for all periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13 (Topic 605-25), “Revenue Recognition; Multiple-Element Arrangements.”  These amendments provide clarification on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated.  An entity is required to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price. These amendments also eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method.  The amendments significantly expand the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.  These provisions are to be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted.  The Company adopted these amendments in the third quarter of 2010 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses”, which will require additional disclosures about the credit quality of loans, lease receivables and other long-term receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. Certain additional disclosures in this new accounting guidance will be effective for the Company on December 31, 2010 with certain other additional disclosures that will be effective on March 31, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new accounting guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718) — Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades.” ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in ASU 2010-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. GROVE ISLE LEASE, COCONUT GROVE, FLORIDA
As previously reported, in July, 2010, the Company was notified by the lessee of the Company’s Grove Isle hotel and club (“Grove Isle”) that the lessee intended to stop paying monthly rent or defer the payment of rent on Grove Isle.  As of September 30, 2010, the lessee had amounts due to the Company of approximately $325,000 representing three months outstanding rent and other related charges.  Subsequent to September 30, 2010, the Company has received approximately $213,000 from the tenant and currently has an outstanding balance of approximately $326,000 of rent and related charges.
 
We have had on-going discussions with the lessee.  The lessee has continued to operate the facility and has indicated its interest to become current on the rent. However, there is no assurance that the lessee will do so. The Company does not believe that the property value would be impaired if a new lessee is required to be installed or if the property were to be repositioned.

As of September 30, 2010 Bayshore has one lessee (a yacht broker) with past due rent receivable of approximately $352,000 versus $155,000 as of December 31, 2009.  We have had on-going discussions with the lessee.  The lessee has continued to make partial payments and has indicated its interest to become current on the rent.  However, there is no assurance that the lessee will do so. The Company will reevaluate the collectability of this receivable at year end.
 
In October 2010 Bayshore was informed by its retail tenant (a marine supply company) that it will not extend the lease into 2011 and is in the process of vacating the premises. This lease represented approximately 20% of Bayshore retail rental revenue.  Efforts are presently under way to find a suitable replacement tenant for this space.
 
5.   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, 2010 and 2009 is summarized below:

For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 net unrealized gain from in trading securities was $181,000 and $596,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 net unrealized loss was $100,000, as compared with net unrealized gain of $1,018,000 for the same comparable period in 2009.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010 net realized gain from sales of marketable securities of approximately $27,000, and consisted of approximately $39,000 of gross gains net of $12,000 of gross losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 net realized gain from sales of marketable securities of approximately $279,000, and consisted of approximately $476,000 of gross gains net of $197,000 of gross losses.

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.

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.

6.   OTHER INVESTMENTS
As of September 30, 2010, the Company’s portfolio of other investments had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $3.7 million.  The Company has committed to fund an additional $757,000 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 quarter ended September 30, 2010 the Company contributed an additional $54,000 toward fulfilling capital commitments on other investments and foreclosed on a $111,000 mortgage loan receivable and reclassified the loan to other investments owning real estate.  The total invested for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $273,000.  Cash distributions received from other investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled approximately $29,000 and $263,000, respectively.

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.
 
In accordance with ASC Topic 320-10-65, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (“OTTI”) as of September 30, 2010 OTTI impairment valuation adjustments totaled $50,000 from an investment in a real estate fund. A total of $280,000 of OTTI impairment valuation adjustments were reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

 7. 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, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the fair value of the cash flow hedge was a loss of approximately $1,953,000 and $1,144,000, respectively, which has been recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) and will be reclassified to interest expense over the life of the contract.

8. FAIR VALUE INSTRUMENTS
 
In accordance with ASC Topic 820, 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.

10. INCOME TAXES
We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” on January 1, 2007.  This topic clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “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. Topic 740-10 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
 
 
 
11

 
 
     
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, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of September 30, 2010.
     
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 and amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 decreased by $130,000 (38%) and $301,000 (30%), respectively. This was due to increased fully depreciated fixed assets in 2010, primarily related to Grove Isle.

General and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 increased by $17,000 (21%) and $102,000 (48%), respectively. This was due to increased corporate administrative expenses.

Professional fees and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 increase by $11,000 (12%) and $83,000 (39%), respectively. This was primarily due to increased legal costs relating to ongoing Grove Isle litigation.

EFFECT OF INFLATION:
Inflation affects the costs of operating and maintaining the Company's investments.  In addition, rentals under certain leases are based in part on the lessee's sales and tend to increase with inflation, and certain leases provide for periodic adjustments according to changes in predetermined price indices.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL EXPENDITURE REQUIREMENTS AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's material commitments primarily consist of maturities of debt obligations of approximately $8.0 million in 2010 and contributions committed to other investments of approximately $758,000 due upon demand.  The funds necessary to meet these obligations are expected from the proceeds from the sales of properties or investments, bank construction loan, refinancing of existing bank loans, distributions from investments and available cash.

Included in the maturing debt obligations for 2010 is the $3.6 million in bank mortgage note payable on the Grove Isle property. In September 2010 the loan was extended and now matures on December 29, 2010.  As previously reported, the loan calls for monthly principal payments of $10,000 plus interest. All payments due under the loan are current. The Company is in the process of refinancing this loan and expects to do so or pay off the loan prior to maturity.

As previously discussed above, the lessee of the Grove Isle property owes the Company approximately $326,000 in past due rent and related costs. The rental income and cash flow provided by the Grove Isle lease represents the majority of recurring operating cash flow of Company.

Also included in the maturing debt obligations for 2010 is a note payable to the Company’s 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“TGIF”) of approximately $3.5 million due on demand. The obligation due to TGIF will be paid with funds available from distributions from its investment in TGIF and from available cash.

MATERIAL COMPONENTS OF CASH FLOWS
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1,000. This was primarily due to past due rent from tenants, as previously discussed.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $1,965,000. This consisted primarily of approximately $2,988,000 in net proceeds from sales of marketable securities, distributions from other investment of $263,000 and collections of notes receivable of $164,000.  These sources of funds were partially offset by purchases of marketable securities of $1,055,000, contributions to other investments of $273,000 and additions to fixed assets of $134,000.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $542,000 which primarily consisted of repayments of mortgage notes payable of $624,000 less contributions from non-controlling interests of $75,000.

Item 4.               Controls and Procedures
(a)  
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, was made known to them by others within those entities and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

(b)  
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter which have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.     Legal Proceedings
The Company was a co-defendant in two lawsuits in the circuit court in Miami Dade County Florida. These cases arose from claims by a condominium association and resident seeking a declaratory judgment regarding certain provisions of the declaration of condominium relating to the Grove Isle Club and the developer. The claim by the association has been dismissed as to all counts related to the Company, however the association has filed a notice of appeal.  The Company believes that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position. The ultimate outcome of this litigation cannot presently be determined. However, in management’s opinion the likelihood of a material adverse outcome is remote. Accordingly, adjustments, if any that might result from the resolution of this matter have not been reflected in the financial statements
