PART I

Item 1.    BUSINESS

Overview

        Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. is a Hawaii corporation and the successor to a business organized in 1909. Depending upon the context, the terms the "Company," "we," "our," and "us," refer to either Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. alone, or to Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively. The Company consists of a landholding and operating parent company and its principal subsidiary, Kapalua Land Company, Ltd. and certain other subsidiaries of the Company.

        The Company owns approximately 23,400 acres of land on Maui and develops, sells, and manages residential, resort, commercial, and industrial real estate through the following business segments:

        Additional information and operating results pertaining to the above business segments can be found under the heading "Description of Business" in this Item 1 and in Note 13 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this annual report.

        Prior to 2010, the Company operated an agriculture business which included the cultivation, processing and selling of pineapple. Also prior to 2010, we operated a vacation rental program (the Kapalua Villas) and Kapalua Adventures, which is comprised of zip-lines in the West Maui mountains and other activities. During 2011, the Company discontinued its golf and retail operations. Additional information about these former businesses can be found under the heading "Description of Business" in this Item 1 and in Notes 7 and 13 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this annual report.

Fiscal Year 2011 Business Developments

        The following highlights several of our significant business developments during 2011.

        Credit Facilities Restructuring—In February 2011, we completed the restructuring of our credit facilities with our two lenders, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo) and American AgCredit, FLCA (American AgCredit). As part of the restructuring, we increased our borrowing capacity by $9.5 million, extended the maturity dates under each facility to May 2013, eliminated the applicable interest rate floors, and reduced the minimum liquidity and maximum total liability covenant thresholds.

        Golf Operations Transition—On April 1, 2011, the owner of the Plantation Golf Course (PGC) and Kapalua Bay Golf Course (Bay Course) engaged Troon Golf of Scottsdale, Arizona (Troon) to manage

1


Table of Contents

and operate both courses. As part of this transition, we also concluded our resort maintenance operations which were responsible for the upkeep of certain common areas and facilities in the resort.

        New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)—In April 2011, the NYSE informed us that we would be removed from their watch list and confirmed that we are in compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE.

        Board of Directors—At our annual meeting of shareholders in May 2011, Stephen M. Case, Warren H. Haruki, David A. Heenan, Kent T. Lucien, Duncan MacNaughton, Arthur C. Tokin and Fred E. Trotter III were re-elected to our board for a one-year term. In August 2011, Mr. Trotter unexpectedly passed away, creating a vacancy on our seven-member Board. In February 2012, our Board of Directors approved a resolution amending our Bylaws to reduce the size of our Board to six members.

        Asset Sale—In June 2011, we sold 13 acres comprising a portion of our former agricultural processing facility in Kahului, Maui for $9.75 million.

        Retail Operations Transition—In June 2011, we turned over the operation and management of the Honolua Store, a 7,600 square foot general store and deli in the Kapalua Resort, to a third party under a long-term lease arrangement. In September 2011, we entered into a long-term lease arrangement for our last operated retail outlet, the Kapalua Logo Shop.

        Real Estate Entitlements Secured—In November 2011, we received final zoning approval from the County of Maui for our Pulelehua project, a planned 312-acre community for working families in West Maui.

        For a more detailed discussion about our business developments in 2011, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in Item 7 of this annual report.

Description of Business

Real Estate

        Our Real Estate segment includes all land planning and entitlement, development and sales activities for our landholdings on Maui. Our principal real estate development is the Kapalua Resort, a master-planned, destination resort community located in West Maui encompassing approximately 1,650 acres.

        Real Estate Planning and Entitlements—Appropriate entitlements must be obtained for land that is intended for development. Securing proper land entitlement is a process that requires obtaining county, state and federal approvals, which can take many years to complete and entails a variety of risks. The entitlement process requires that we satisfy all conditions and restrictions imposed in connection with such governmental approvals, including, among other things, construction of infrastructure improvements, payment of impact fees—for conditions such as parks and traffic mitigation—restrictions on permitted uses of the land, and provision of affordable housing. We actively work with the community, regulatory agencies, and legislative bodies at all levels of government in an effort to obtain necessary entitlements consistent with the needs of the community.

Table of Contents

        We have approximately 1,500 acres of land in Maui that are in various stages of the development process. The breakdown of these acres is as follows:

Location
  Number of
Acres
  Zoned for
Planned Use

Kapalua Resort

    900   Yes

Other West Maui

    300   Yes

Upcountry

    300   No

        We are engaged in planning, permitting and entitlement activities for our development projects, and we intend to proceed with construction and sales of the following projects, among others, when internal and external factors permit:

        Real Estate Development—We are currently engaged in engineering and design activities for our development projects.

        Real Estate Sales—We presently do not have any significant real estate inventory and in 2011, we did not have any sales of real estate inventories. We have a general brokerage subsidiary, Kapalua Realty Company, Ltd., which is located in the Kapalua Resort. Revenues from this operating segment for 2011 consisted of commissions recognized mainly from sales of existing real estate within the resort and totaled $1.1 million, or approximately 7% of consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011.

        The price and market for luxury and other real estate in Maui is highly cyclical based principally upon interest rates, the general real estate markets in the mainland United States and specifically the West Coast, the popularity of Hawaii as a vacation destination and second-home market, the general condition of the economy in the United States and Asia, and the relationship of the dollar to foreign currencies. Our real estate business faces substantial competition from other land developers on the island of Maui, as well as in other parts of Hawaii and the mainland United States.

Leasing

        Our Leasing segment activities include commercial, light industrial and agricultural land leases, licensing of our registered trademarks and trade names, and stewardship and conservation efforts.

Table of Contents

        Commercial and Industrial Leases—We are the lessor of approximately 155,000 square feet of commercial retail and light industrial space leases, mainly in the Kapalua Resort and West Maui areas. We manage the leases of the majority of the restaurants, retail outlets and activities in the Kapalua Resort.

        Agricultural Leases—We are the lessor of 1,900 acres of diversified agriculture land leases in West and Upcountry Maui. In December 2009, we entered into a long-term lease agreement with a company that is growing and marketing pineapple under the Maui Gold® brand on approximately 1,100 acres in Upcountry Maui.

        Trademark and Trade Name Licensing—We currently have licensing agreements for the use of our registered Kapalua trademarks and trade names with several different companies, including the owner of the PGC and Bay Course, and the operators of the Kapalua Villas, Kapalua Adventures, Kapalua Logo Store, and the Honolua Store. We have also entered into a licensing agreement for the Maui Gold® trademark and trade name as mentioned above.

        Stewardship and Conservation—We are responsible for managing the conservation of approximately 11,800 acres of our land located in West Maui. Approximately 8,600 acres are in a perpetual conservation easement with the Nature Conservancy of Hawaii.

        Revenues from our Leasing segment totaled $5.1 million, or approximately 35% of consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011.

        Our leasing operations face substantial competition from other land and leasable building owners on the island of Maui as well as in other parts of Hawaii.

Utilities

        Our Utilities segment includes the operations of our two Hawaii Public Utilities Commission-regulated subsidiaries, Kapalua Water Company, Ltd. and Kapalua Waste Treatment Company, Ltd. In addition, we also manage non-potable irrigation water systems for West and Upcountry Maui areas.

        Kapalua Water Company, Ltd. provides potable and non-potable water utility services in the Kapalua Resort area, including the PGC and Bay Course, The Ritz-Carlton Kapalua hotel, the Residences at Kapalua Bay, and landscaped common areas.

        Kapalua Waste Treatment Company, Ltd. provides sewage collection and transmission services in the Kapalua Resort area. Waste treatment is processed by the County of Maui's facility in neighboring Lahaina, Maui.

        Non-Potable Irrigation Water System—We also own and operate several non-potable ditch, reservoir and well systems, which provide irrigation water primarily to the County of Maui, the PGC and Bay Course, and agricultural users in West and Upcountry Maui areas.

        Revenues from our Utilities segment totaled $3.4 million, or approximately 24% of consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011.

        Our utility services are primarily affected by the amount of rainfall and the level of development and volume of visitors in the Kapalua Resort area. In addition, our water and sewage system infrastructure requires periodic and ongoing maintenance, which in some cases can involve significant capital expenditures. Due to the regulated nature surrounding water sources and transmission infrastructure on Maui, we do not face any substantial competition for our water utility services.

Resort Amenities

        Our Resort Amenities segment includes operating the Kapalua Spa, the Beach Club, and the Kapalua Club membership program.

        Kapalua Spa is a 30,000 square foot full-service spa that opened in July 2009 as part of the Residences at Kapalua Bay. The Kapalua Spa is owned by Kapalua Bay LLC, the sole member of which is Bay Holdings, and leased by the Company on a month-to-month basis. It is open to guests of the resort.

        Beach Club is a private pool-side dining facility that opened in July 2009 for members of the Kapalua Club. It is located in the Residences at Kapalua Bay. The Beach Club is owned by Kapalua Bay LLC and leased by the Company on a month-to-month basis.

        Kapalua Club is a private non-equity club membership program which provides certain benefits and privileges within the resort for its members.

        Revenues from our Resort Amenities segment totaled $3.9 million, or approximately 27% of consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011.

        The viability of our resort amenities and the club membership program are principally dependent on the overall appeal and success of the Kapalua Resort generally. The resort faces competition from other resort destination communities on Maui and other parts of Hawaii, including Kaanapali and Wailea.

Discontinued Operations

        Golf—Subsequent to the sales of the PGC and Bay Course, we continued to operate both courses under a leaseback arrangement which expired on March 31, 2011. On April 1, 2011, the owner of the PGC and Bay Course engaged Troon to manage and operate both courses. As part of this transition, we also concluded our resort maintenance operations, which were responsible for the upkeep of certain common areas and facilities in the resort. The majority of our golf and resort maintenance employees were assumed by Troon. In addition, all golf and resort maintenance equipment were either sold to Troon or subsequently liquidated. We will receive royalty and licensing income from the sales of certain merchandise at the golf course pro shops for the next ten years.

        Retail—In June 2011, we turned over the operation and management of the Honolua Store, a 7,600 square foot general store and deli in the Kapalua Resort, to a third party under a long-term lease arrangement. In September 2011, we entered into a long-term lease arrangement for our clothing retail outlet, the Kapalua Logo Shop. Upon consummation of these leases, we ceased all other retail functions. In addition to lease income, we will receive licensing income from sales of certain merchandise at both stores.

        Agriculture—Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd. (MPC) was the operating subsidiary for our Agriculture segment. That portion of our business was focused on growing, harvesting, packing and marketing fresh premium pineapple. In November 2009, our Board of Directors approved the immediate cessation of pineapple planting and the closure of all agriculture operations by December 31, 2009.

        Our former golf, retail and agriculture businesses have been reported as discontinued operations in this annual report.

Employees

        As of December 31, 2011, we had 29 employees, none of whom are members of a collective bargaining group.

Item 1A.    RISK FACTORS

        The following is a summary of certain risks we face in our business. They are not the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. In assessing these risks, investors should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in our other filings with the SEC.


Risks Related to our Business

Unstable macroeconomic market conditions could continue to materially and adversely affect our operating results.

        Our operations and performance depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions. Uncertainty about current global economic conditions poses a risk to our business as consumers, tourists and real estate investors postpone or reduce spending in response to tighter credit markets, higher energy costs, negative financial news, reduced consumer confidence, and/or declines in income or asset values, which could have a material negative effect on the demand for our products and services. Other factors that could influence demand include increases in fuel and other energy costs, conditions in the residential real estate and mortgage markets, interest rates, labor costs, access to credit on reasonable terms, and other macroeconomic factors affecting consumer spending behavior. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and services and on our financial condition and operating results.

        In addition, although economic conditions appear to be improving, if the current equity and credit markets do not continue to improve or further deteriorate, or if our expenses increase unexpectedly, it may become necessary for us to raise additional capital in the form of a debt or equity financing, or a combination of the two. If economic conditions do not improve, it could make any debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly, and, in the case of an equity financing, more dilutive to our existing stockholders. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our ability to execute our current business strategy, as well as our financial performance and stock price.

Real estate investments are subject to numerous risks and we are negatively impacted by the downturns in the real estate market.

        We are subject to the risks that generally relate to investments in real property because we develop and sell real property, primarily for residential use. We have a 51% ownership interest in Bay Holdings, the owner and developer of the Residences at Kapalua Bay, a luxury residential community. The market for real estate on Maui and in Hawaii generally tends to be highly cyclical and is typically affected by numerous changes in local, national and worldwide conditions, especially economic conditions, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

7


Table of Contents

        Changes in any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business by causing a more significant general decline in the number of residential or luxury real estate sales and/or prices of the units available for sale, which, in turn, could adversely affect our revenues and profitability. During low periods of demand, real estate product may remain in inventory for much longer than expected or be sold at lower than expected returns, or even at a loss, which could impair our liquidity and ability to proceed with additional land development projects and negatively affect our operating results. Sustained adverse changes to our development plans could result in additional impairment charges or write-offs of deferred development costs, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, in the current economic environment, equity real estate investments may be difficult to sell quickly and we may not be able to adjust our portfolio of properties quickly in response to economic or other conditions.

Because we are located in Hawaii and therefore apart from the mainland United States, our financial results are more sensitive to certain economic factors, such as spending on tourism and increased fuel and travel costs, which may adversely impact and materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Our businesses are dependent on attracting visitors to the Kapalua Resort, to Maui, and to the State of Hawaii as a whole. Economic factors that affect the number of visitors, their length of stay or expenditure levels will affect our financial performance. Factors such as the continuing worldwide economic uncertainty and weakness, continuing high unemployment rates in Hawaii and the mainland United States, natural disasters such as the recent tsunami in Japan, substantial increases in the cost of energy, including fuel costs, and events in the airline industry that may reduce passenger capacity or increase traveling costs could reduce the number of visitors to the Kapalua Resort and negatively affect a potential buyer's demand for our ongoing and future property developments, each of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the threat, or perceived threat, of heightened terrorist activity in the United States or other geopolitical events, or the spread of contagious diseases could negatively affect a potential visitor's choice of vacation destination or second home location and as a result, have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are involved in joint ventures and are subject to risks associated with joint venture relationships.

        We are involved in partnerships, joint ventures and other joint business relationships, and may initiate future joint venture projects. We currently have a 51% interest in Bay Holdings, the joint venture that constructed the Residences at Kapalua Bay.

        A joint venture involves certain risks such as:

8


Table of Contents

        In connection with our joint venture projects, we may be asked to guarantee the joint venture's obligations, or to indemnify third parties in connection with a joint venture's contractual arrangements. If we were to become obligated under such arrangement or become subject to the risks associated with joint venture relationships, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

We have purchase obligations related to the amenities at the Residences at Kapalua Bay project and have entered into limited guarantees for completion of the project and certain limited recourse obligations of Bay Holdings.

        Bay Holdings, in which we own a 51% ownership interest, constructed a new project consisting of residential development on land that it owns at the site of the former Kapalua Bay Hotel, and a spa on an adjacent parcel of land that is owned by us and leased to Bay Holdings. In connection with the construction loan agreement, we and other members of Bay Holdings, entered into a completion guaranty and a recourse guaranty. Under the completion guaranty, members of Bay Holdings agreed to guarantee substantial completion of the project. Under the recourse guaranty, members of Bay Holdings agreed to reimburse the lenders for losses incurred due to specified actions of Bay Holdings, including, without limitation, fraud or intentional misrepresentation, gross negligence, physical waste of project assets, and breach of certain environmental provisions of the construction loan agreement. Our guarantees do not include payment in full of the loan. Construction of the project was completed by the end of 2009, but the completion guaranty will remain in place until all construction contracts have been fully settled and paid. Pursuant to a previous agreement, we have a commitment to purchase the spa, beach club improvements and the sundry store (the "Amenities") from Bay Holdings at the actual construction cost of approximately $35 million. As of December 31, 2011, we have recorded an estimated liability under the completion and recourse guarantees of $4.1 million, and we and the other members of Bay Holdings are working with the lenders to settle the terms of the loan agreement and the purchase and payment terms of the Amenities.

If we are unable to complete land development projects within forecasted time and budget expectations, if at all, our financial results may be negatively affected.

        We intend to develop resort and other properties as suitable opportunities arise, taking into consideration the general economic climate. New project developments have a number of risks, including risks associated with:

        If any development project is not completed on time or within budget, this could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

If we are unable to obtain required land use entitlements at reasonable costs, or at all, our operating results would be adversely affected.

        The financial performance of our Real Estate segment is closely related to our success in obtaining land use entitlements for proposed development projects. Obtaining all of the necessary entitlements to develop a parcel of land is often difficult, costly and may take several years, or more, to complete. In some situations, we may be unable to obtain the necessary entitlements to proceed with a real estate development or may be required to alter our plans for the development. Delays or failures to obtain these entitlements may have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

If we are unable to successfully compete with other developers of real estate in Maui, our financial results could be materially adversely affected.

        Our real estate products face significant competition from other luxury resort real estate properties on Maui, and from other residential property in Hawaii and the mainland United States. In many cases, our competitors are larger than us and have greater access to capital. If we are unable to compete with these competitors, our financial results could be materially adversely affected.

We may be subject to certain environmental regulations under which we may have additional liability and experience additional costs for land development.

        Various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations regulate our properties and could make us liable for the costs of removing or cleaning up hazardous or toxic substances on, under, or in property we currently own or operate or that we previously owned or operated. These laws could impose liability without regard to whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to properly clean up such substances when present, could jeopardize our ability to develop, use, sell or rent the real property or to borrow using the real property as collateral. If we arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic wastes, we could be liable for the costs of removing or cleaning up wastes at the disposal or treatment facility, even if we never owned or operated that facility. Certain laws, ordinances and regulations, particularly those governing the management or preservation of wetlands, coastal zones and threatened or endangered species, could limit our ability to develop, use, sell or rent our real property.

Changes in weather conditions or natural disasters could adversely impact and materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Natural disasters could damage our resort and real estate holdings, resulting in substantial repair or replacement costs to the extent not covered by insurance, a reduction in property values, or a loss of revenue, each of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our competitors may be affected differently by such changes in weather conditions or natural disasters depending on the location of their assets or operations.

Unauthorized use of our trademarks could negatively impact our businesses.

        We have several trademarks that we have registered in the United States and in several foreign countries. To the extent that our exclusive use of these trademarks is challenged, we intend to vigorously defend our rights. If we are not successful in defending our rights, our businesses could be adversely impacted.

Market volatility of asset values and interest rates affect the funded status of our defined benefit pension plans and could, under certain circumstances, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

        No additional benefits are accruing for participants in the defined benefit pension plans, however, the funded status for these plans as of December 31, 2011 is a liability of approximately $28 million. Contributions to our defined benefit pension plans are expected to be approximately $2.5 million in 2012. Changes in interest rates and the fair value of the plan assets drive the annual funding short-fall or gain and affect the minimum cash contributions that must be paid to the plans. Therefore, under certain circumstances, changes in asset values or interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.


Risks Related to Indebtedness and Liquidity

We have incurred a significant amount of indebtedness and are subject to certain covenants under those agreements. Failure to satisfy covenants under these agreements could accelerate our obligations under such credit agreements, which could adversely affect our operations and financial results and impact our ability to satisfy our obligations and ability to continue as a going concern.

        We had approximately $45.5 million of indebtedness as of December 31, 2011, consisting of a secured revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo for up to $34.5 million, of which we had $12.9 million in availability as of December 31, 2011 and a secured term loan with American AgCredit for $24.4 million.

        Our indebtedness could have the effect of, among other things, increasing our exposure to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry, and limiting our ability to borrow additional funds.

        The line of credit and term loan were amended in 2011 to extend the maturity date of such obligations to May 1, 2013. In connection with such amendments, we granted a security interest in additional real estate assets to the lenders. As a result, substantially all of our real estate assets are encumbered, which limits our ability to borrow additional funds.

        Each of the line of credit and the term loan agreements contain financial and other covenants that we must satisfy. Our ability to continue to borrow under these agreements and to fund our cash requirements depends upon our ability to comply with those covenants. If we fail to satisfy any of our covenants, each lender may elect to accelerate our payment obligations under such lender's credit agreement.

Our cash outlook for the next twelve months and our ability to continue to meet our financial covenants and to continue as a going concern is highly dependent on successfully implementing our financial initiatives and selling real estate assets in a difficult market.

        In 2011, we had negative cash flows from operations and at December 31, 2011, we had borrowings outstanding of $45.5 million. Our cash outlook for the next twelve months and our ability to continue to meet our financial covenants is highly dependent on selling certain real estate assets in a difficult market. If we are unable to meet our financial covenants resulting in our borrowings becoming immediately due, we would not have sufficient liquidity to repay such outstanding borrowings. In addition, we are subject to several commitments and contingencies that could negatively impact our

11


Table of Contents

future cash flows, including purchase commitments related to our investment in Bay Holdings, a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) matter related to our discontinued agricultural operations, and funding requirements related to our defined benefit pension plans. In response to these circumstances, we are undertaking several financial initiatives to reduce cash commitments, to generate cash flow and further reduce our debt, to sell real estate assets and adopt further cost reduction measures. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with our loan covenants, reduce costs, or sell real estate assets at acceptable prices, or at all, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

        In connection with the sale of any real property, our credit agreements require us to pay a portion of the proceeds received from any such sale to our lenders as mandatory principal payments. The amount of proceeds paid to our lenders will reduce net proceeds from any such sale and negatively impact our cash flow.


Risks Relating to our Stock

Our stock price has been subject to significant volatility.

        In 2011, the daily closing price per share of our common stock has ranged from a high of $7.40 per share to a low of $3.68 per share. Our stock price has been, and may continue to be, subject to significant volatility. Among others, including the risks and uncertainties discussed in this annual report, the following factors, some of which are out of our control, may cause the market price of our common stock to continue to be volatile:

        Fluctuations in the price of our common stock may be exacerbated by economic and other conditions in Maui in particular, or conditions in the financial markets generally.

Trading in our stock over the last twelve months has been limited, so investors may not be able to sell as much stock as they want at prevailing prices.

        The average daily trading volume in our common stock for the year ended December 31, 2011 was approximately 12,766 shares. If limited trading in our stock continues, it may be difficult for investors to sell their shares in the public market at any given time at prevailing prices. Moreover, the market price for shares of our common stock may be made more volatile because of the relatively low volume of trading in our common stock. When trading volume is low, significant price movement can be caused by the trading in a relatively small number of shares. Volatility in our common stock could cause stockholders to incur substantial losses.

We do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends on our common stock.

        We have not declared or paid regular cash dividends on our common stock and do not plan to pay any cash dividends in the near future. Our current policy is to retain all funds and any earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. The payment of cash dividends by us is restricted by certain of our credit facilities, which contains covenants prohibiting us from paying any cash dividends without the lender's prior approval. If we do not pay dividends, our stock may be less valuable to you because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

Item 2.    PROPERTIES

        We own approximately 23,400 acres of land on Maui. Approximately 3,800 acres are used directly or indirectly in our operations; approximately 11,800 acres are in conservation and the remainder, approximately 7,800 acres, is not currently being used. This land, most of which was acquired from 1911 to 1932, is carried on our consolidated balance sheet at cost. We believe we have clear and unencumbered marketable title to all such property, except for the following:

        A summary of the current use of our land holdings as of December 31, 2011 follows:

 
  Acres

    7,800  

Operations

    2,300  

Planned development

    1,500  
       

    23,400  
       

        Approximately 21,300 acres of our land are located in West Maui, approximately 2,100 acres are located in Upcountry Maui and approximately 7 acres are located in Kahului, Maui.

        We currently have approximately 7,800 acres that are not in the current development plans or held for sale, and are not used in our other operations or planned or used in conservation. These properties will be evaluated in the future to determine the appropriate use or disposition of the acreage.

        The 21,300 acres in West Maui comprise a largely contiguous parcel that extends from the sea to an elevation of approximately 5,700 feet and includes 10.6 miles of ocean frontage with approximately 3,300 lineal feet along sandy beaches, as well as agricultural and grazing lands, gulches, and heavily forested areas. The West Maui acreage includes approximately 1,650 acres designated for the Kapalua Resort.

        The Upcountry Maui property is situated at elevations between 1,000 and 2,000 feet above sea level on the slopes of Haleakala, a volcanic-formed mountain on the island that rises above 10,000 feet in elevation.

        The Kahului acreage includes the last lot that was our former pineapple cannery site. This acreage is currently held for sale.

        We believe our facilities are suitable and adequate for our business and have sufficient capacity for the purposes for which they are currently being used or intended to be used.

Item 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        On May 23, 2011, a lawsuit was filed against Kapalua Bay; the Company; The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC; Kapalua Realty Co. Ltd.; and other John and Jane Does; by Virendra Nath, Nancy Makowski, Krishna Narayan and Sherrie Narayan, purchasers of two units at the Ritz-Carlton Residences at Kapalua Bay. The lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit, State of Hawaii pursuant to Civil No. 11-1-0216-(3). The lawsuit alleges deceptive acts, intentional misrepresentation, concealment, and negligent misrepresentation, among other allegations with regard to the sale of the two residential units and seeks unspecified damages, treble damages and other relief. The Company disagrees with the allegations and plans to vigorously defend itself. The Company is presently unable to reasonably estimate the amount of probable liability, if any, related to this matter and, accordingly, has made no provision in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

        On April 19, 2011, a lawsuit was filed against the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, MPC and several other Hawaii based farmers by the EEOC. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, District of Hawaii, pursuant to Civil Action No. 11-00257. The lawsuit alleges unlawful employment practices on the basis of national origin and race discrimination, harassment and retaliation and seeks injunctive relief, unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and other relief. The Company believes it has not been involved in any wrongdoing, disagrees with the charges and plans to vigorously defend itself. The Company is presently unable to reasonably estimate the amount of probable liability, if any, related to this matter and, accordingly, has made no provision in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

        The Company had a contractual obligation to the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) to sponsor an annual golf tournament for five years beginning in October 2008. The cost of such a tournament, including the production and the purse is significant and the Company was seeking a title sponsor to defray part of the cost. In June 2009, the Company announced that due to a lack of a title sponsor, it would be unable to hold the 2009 LPGA event that was scheduled for October. This resulted in a dispute with the LPGA, which was contractually required to be settled by mediation. In consideration for the suspension of the mediation proceedings, the Company paid the LPGA $700,000 in 2010 and $700,000 in February 2011. In January 2012, the Company and the LPGA agreed that the Company would pay an additional $1.0 million to the LPGA in 2012 in settlement of all claims and the Company has accrued for this settlement amount as of December 31, 2011.

        We are a party to various claims, complaints and other legal actions that have arisen in the normal course of business from time to time. We believe the outcome of these pending legal proceedings, in the aggregate, is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial position or cash flows.

Net Income

        We reported net income of $5.1 million or $0.27 per share for 2011 compared to net income of $24.8 million or $1.99 per share for 2010. Net income for 2011 includes $15.1 million of gain from the sale of the Bay Course and maintenance facility, which is included in discontinued operations. Included in net income for 2010 are settlement and curtailment gains totaling $16.6 million from the termination of our post-retirement health and life benefits, of which $14.9 million was included in discontinued operations. Net income for 2010 also includes a $26.7 million recognized gain from the March 2009 sale of the PGC. Consolidated revenues were lower by 37% in 2011 compared to 2010 primarily reflecting the absence of real estate inventory sales.

        Real estate sales commissions were $1.1 million for 2011 compared to $1.5 million for 2010. The decrease primarily reflects fewer transactions in 2011 and lower average values per transaction. Revenues for 2010 also included three real estate inventory sales that resulted in revenues of $7.9 million and pre-tax income of $5.8 million. There were no sales of real estate inventory in 2011.

        Real estate development and sales are cyclical and depend on a number of factors. Results for one period are therefore not necessarily indicative of future performance trends in this segment.

        In 2011, we entered into several new agreements, including lease and licensing arrangements with third parties who now operate the retail locations and golf courses pro shops at the Kapalua Resort. In 2011, expense for third party services for management and operation of our leased and leasable properties increased, but labor costs were approximately 30% lower in 2011 compared to 2010 reflecting staff reductions. Leasing segment revenues increased as a percentage of total revenues principally because of the decrease in consolidated revenues from 2010 to 2011.

        Increased revenues in the Utilities segment in 2011 reflect increased consumption and a 5% sewer rate increase that went into effect in July 2010. The operating loss for 2011 was primarily due to higher electricity, maintenance, repairs and outside service costs that more than offset the higher revenues and reduced labor costs in the Utilities segment. Labor costs were approximately 20% lower in 2011 compared to 2010 reflecting staff reductions. Utilities segment revenues increased as a percentage of total revenues principally because of the decrease in consolidated revenues from 2010 to 2011.

        Increased revenues were due to higher spa service and treatment revenues as a result of price increases in November and December 2011, an increase in the number of treatments and services performed, and to increased membership dues revenues as a result of increases in the membership base. In 2011, increased labor, supplies and other operating expense at the spa and the increased costs relating to club memberships more than offset the higher revenues in the Resort Amenities segment. Resort Amenities segment revenues increased as a percentage of total revenues principally because of the decrease in consolidated revenues from 2010 to 2011.

General and administrative expenses are incurred at the corporate level and at the operating segment level. Results of operations presented above for the reportable operating segments include an allocation of a portion of the general and administrative expense at the corporate level. Such allocations are made on the basis of our evaluation of the level of services provided to the operating segments.

        The operating loss for 2010 includes approximately $3.2 million of gains recognized from asset sales.

Table of Contents

        General and administrative expense was $6.3 million in 2011 compared to $8.6 million in 2010. The expense was lower in 2011 primarily because of lower compensation expense and reduced professional service costs. Salaries and wages decreased by approximately 25% compared to 2010 as we closed business units and reduced staffing levels. Professional service costs decreased in 2011 as we resolved outstanding legacy issues and downsized our operations. General and administrative expense for 2011 includes $1.5 million contribution expense representing the fair value of approximately 22 acres that we contributed to Maui Preparatory Academy in 2011 and gain on asset dispositions for 2011 includes an offsetting $1.5 million gain on the land contributed.

        Selling and marketing expense decreased from $1.8 million in 2010 to $800,000 in 2011 as we discontinued operating certain businesses, and the lessees and licensees of our properties and trade names assumed the responsibility for marketing. Our marketing department was closed in March 2011.

        Pension and other post-retirement expenses were $1.2 million in 2011 and a credit of $15.7million in 2010 of which a credit of $14.9 million was recorded to discontinued operations. The credit in 2010 was due to settlement and curtailment gains recognized upon the termination of our postretirement health and life insurance plans (Note 9 to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this annual report).

Income From Discontinued Operations

             

Before Income Taxes

        Our former retail, golf and agriculture operations are reported as discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations for 2011 includes $15.1 million gain from the sale of the Bay Course; and income from discontinued operations for 2010 includes $26.7 million gain from sale of the PGC. Income from discontinued agriculture operations for 2010 includes a credit of $14.9 million representing the gain from settlement of our post-retirement health and life insurance plans. See Note 7 to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this annual report.

INTEREST EXPENSE

        Interest expense was $2,729,000 for 2011 compared to $9,496,000 for 2010 of which $300,000 and $2,105,000 were included in discontinued operations in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The reduction in interest expense was primarily due to lower average interest rates and lower average borrowings in 2011. In August 2010, our $40 million convertible notes were extinguished and in December 2010, we modified our primary credit agreements which lowered the interest rates (Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this annual report). Interest expense in 2010 for our $40 million convertible notes was approximately $2.9 million. Our average interest rate on borrowings was 4.8% for 2011 compared to 5.7% for 2010 and average borrowings were approximately $30 million less in 2011 compared to 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Current Debt Position

        At December 31, 2011, our total debt was $45.5 million compared to $45.2 million at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2011, we had approximately $12.9 million available under our revolving line of credit and $890,000 in cash. Of the total available under our revolving line of credit, $2.1 million is currently designated solely for the payment of legacy costs (Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this annual report).

Revolving Line of Credit with Wells Fargo

        We have a $34.5 million revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo that matures on May 1, 2013. Interest rates on borrowings are at LIBOR plus 3.8% and the line of credit is collateralized by approximately 880 acres of our real estate holdings at the Kapalua Resort. The line of credit agreement contains various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. Financial covenants include a required minimum liquidity (as defined) of $4 million and maximum total liabilities of $175 million. The credit agreement includes predetermined release prices for the real property securing the credit facility and an option to extend the maturity date to May 1, 2014, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including the absence of any material adverse change in financial condition and maintenance of the loan to value ratio of the collateral. In July 2011, we paid down the line of credit with $4.1 million of proceeds from the sale of real estate and in August 2011, the line of credit agreement was modified to reserve $4.1 million of credit availability for the payment of legacy costs (as defined) and exclude $4.1 million from the credit line availability in the calculation of the minimum liquidity financial covenant. As of December 31, 2011, the amount reserved for legacy costs and excluded from credit availability has been reduced by $2.0 million as legacy costs were paid. There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolving facility.

        As of December 31, 2011, we had irrevocable letters of credit totaling $0.5 million that were secured by the line of credit, $21.1 million of borrowings outstanding and $12.9 million available for borrowing under the line of credit.

Term Loan with American AgCredit

        We have a $24.4 million term loan with American AgCredit that matures on May 1, 2013. The interest rate on this credit facility is based on the greater of 1.00% or the 30-day LIBOR rate, plus an applicable spread of 4.25%. The loan agreement provides for tiered reductions in the applicable spread to 3.75%, subject to corresponding reductions in the principal balance of the loan. The loan requires mandatory principal prepayments of 100% of the net proceeds of the sale of any real property pledged as collateral for the loan. It also requires tiered mandatory principal prepayments based on predetermined percentages ranging from 10% to 75% of the net proceeds from the sale of non-collateralized real property. The credit agreement is collateralized by approximately 3,100 acres of our real estate holdings in West Maui and Upcountry Maui. The term loan agreement contains various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. Financial covenants include a required minimum liquidity (as defined) of $4 million and maximum total liabilities of $175 million.

Amended Construction Loan Agreement with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.

        Bay Holdings has a construction loan agreement with Lehman and other lenders under which $276 million was outstanding at December 31, 2011 that is due and payable in full. The loan is collateralized by the Residences of Kapalua Bay project assets including the land that underlies the project, which is owned by Bay Holdings. We and the other members of Bay Holdings have guaranteed to the lenders completion of the project and recourse with regard to certain acts, but have not guaranteed payment of the loan. Construction of the project was completed in 2009, but the completion guaranty will remain in place until all construction contracts have been fully settled and paid. We have recorded $4.1 million in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as our estimated share of the completion and recourse guarantees, and do not have any other funding commitments to Bay Holdings. Bay Holdings is currently working with the lenders to settle the terms of the loan.

Operating Cash Flows

        Net cash used in operating activities for 2011 and 2010 was $10.2 million and $9.4 million, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for 2011 increased from 2010 primarily due to $5.9 million of income tax refunds received in 2010, partially offset by a higher amount of interest paid in 2010 compared to 2011.

        Interest paid in 2011 and 2010 was $2.0 million and $6.9 million, respectively. Tax refunds received in 2011 and 2010 were $55,000 and $5.9 million, respectively.

Future Cash Inflows and Outflows

        Our plans for 2012 include the possible sale of certain operating and non-operating real estate assets that could result in net cash proceeds which would be partially used to repay outstanding indebtedness and for general working capital. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any of our real estate assets on acceptable terms, if at all.

        Our cash outlook for the next twelve months and our ability to continue to meet our financial covenants is highly dependent on selling certain real estate assets in a difficult market. If we are unable to meet our financial covenants resulting in the borrowings becoming immediately due, we would not have sufficient liquidity to repay such outstanding borrowings. In addition, we are subject to several commitments and contingencies that could negatively impact our future cash flows, including purchase commitments up to $35 million related to our investment in Bay Holdings to purchase the Amenities, an EEOC matter related to our discontinued agricultural operations, and funding requirements related to our defined benefit pension plans. These matters are further described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The aforementioned circumstances raise substantial doubt about

our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully achieve the initiatives discussed below in order to continue as a going concern.

        In response to these circumstances, we continue to undertake significant efforts to generate cash flow by employing our real estate assets in leasing and other arrangements, by the sale of several real estate assets and by continued cost reduction efforts. As part of the restructured credit agreement with Wells Fargo, we are allowed to use proceeds from the sale of certain properties to settle obligations related to our prior operations, instead of reducing borrowings under the line of credit as was previously required in the credit agreement. We are currently in discussions with the other members of Bay Holdings and the lenders to negotiate the terms of the purchase and sale agreement for the Amenities including the purchase and payment terms.

        Contributions to our defined benefit pension plans are expected to be approximately $2.5 million in 2012.

        We do not expect any significant capital expenditures in 2012.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Our accounting policies are described in Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements (included in Item 8 of this annual report). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of accounting estimates. Some of these estimates and assumptions involve a high level of subjectivity and judgment and therefore the impact of a change in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the amounts reported in our financial statements. The accounting policies and estimates that we have identified as critical to the Consolidated Financial Statements are as follows:

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

        Most of the land owned by us was acquired from 1911 to 1932 and is carried at cost. At the Kapalua Resort, some of the fixed assets were constructed and placed in service in the mid-to-late 1970s. Depreciation expense would be considerably higher if fixed assets were stated at current cost.

Item 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        Because we qualify as a smaller reporting company, as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 8.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc.
Makawao, Hawaii

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' deficiency, and of cash flows for the years then ended. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's recurring negative cash flows from operations and deficiency in stockholders' equity raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MAUI LAND & PINEAPPLE COMPANY, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CONSOLIDATION

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and its principal subsidiary Kapalua Land Company, Ltd. and other subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). The Company's principal operations include the development, sale and leasing of real estate, water and waste transmission services, and the management of certain resort amenities at the Kapalua Resort. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company's golf, retail and agriculture operations are reported as discontinued operations (Note 7).

LIQUIDITY

        The Company reported net income of $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Included in net income was a $15.1 million gain recognized from the sale of the Kapalua Bay Course (Bay Course). The Company reported negative cash flows from operations of $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company had an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $7.2 million and a stockholders' deficiency of $26.3 million at December 31, 2011.

        The Company has two primary credit facilities that have financial covenants requiring among other things, a minimum of $4 million in liquidity, a maximum of $175 million in liabilities, and a limitation on new indebtedness. Failure to satisfy the minimum liquidity covenants or to otherwise default under one credit agreement could result in a default under both credit agreements resulting in all outstanding borrowings becoming immediately due and payable. The Company has pledged a significant portion of its real estate holdings as security for borrowings under these credit facilities.

        The Company's cash outlook for the next twelve months and its ability to continue to meet its financial covenants is highly dependent on selling certain real estate assets in a difficult market. If the Company is unable to meet its financial covenants resulting in the borrowings becoming immediately due, the Company would not have sufficient liquidity to repay such outstanding borrowings. In addition, the Company is subject to several purchase commitments and contingencies that could negatively impact its future cash flows, including commitments of up to $35 million to purchase the spa, beach club improvements and the sundry store (the "Amenities") of Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC (Bay Holdings) (Note 3), a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) matter related to the Company's discontinued agricultural operations, and funding requirements related to the Company's defined benefit pension plans. These matters are further described in Note 14.

        The aforementioned circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully achieve its initiatives discussed below in order to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

        In response to these circumstances, the Company continues to undertake efforts to generate cash flow by employing our real estate assets in leasing and other arrangements, by the sale of several real estate assets and by continued cost reduction efforts. In December 2010 and February 2011, the Company restructured its debt with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo) and American AgCredit, FLCA (American AgCredit) which resulted in a reduction of the interest rates on

29


Table of Contents

the credit facilities and an extension of the maturities from March 2011 to May 2013. In June 2011, the Company sold a 13-acre parcel that was part of its former pineapple cannery facilities in Kahului, Maui for $9.75 million. The Company is currently in discussions with the other members of Bay Holdings and the lenders to negotiate the terms of the purchase and sale of the Amenities.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

        Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in stockholders' equity (deficiency), except those resulting from capital stock transactions. Comprehensive income (loss) includes the pension benefit adjustment (Note 9).

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

        Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits in banks and commercial paper with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

        Receivables are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates future write-offs based on delinquencies, credit ratings, aging trends, and historical experience. The Company believes the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to cover anticipated losses; however, significant deterioration in any of the aforementioned factors or in general economic conditions could change these expectations, and accordingly, the Company's financial condition and/or its future operating results could be materially impacted. Credit is extended after evaluating creditworthiness and no collateral is generally required from customers, except for notes receivable taken on real estate sales.

INVENTORIES

        Real estate inventories are stated at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. Real estate inventories include properties developed specifically for sale as well as undeveloped land parcels that the Company has determined will not be developed or used in operations. Merchandise is retail inventories held for sale at the Kapalua Resort and are stated at cost, not in excess of fair value, using an average cost method.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

        Assets are reported as held for sale when they are being actively marketed and available for immediate sale in their present condition, the sale is probable and the transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year. Assets held for sale are stated at the lower of net book value or estimated fair value less cost to sell. In 2010, impairment charges of $2.1 million were recorded for one of the properties in assets held for sale.

INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES

        Investments in affiliates, partnerships, and limited liability companies, over which the Company exercises significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method.

        Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are reviewed for impairment whenever there is evidence of a loss in value below the carrying amount. An investment is written down to fair value if the impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary. In evaluating the fair value of an investment, the Company reviews the discounted projected cash flows associated with the investment and other relevant information. In evaluating whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers all available information, including the length of time and extent of the impairment, the financial condition

30


Table of Contents

and near-term prospects of the affiliate, the Company's ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value, and projected industry and economic trends, among others. In determining the fair value of an investment and assessing whether any identified impairment is other-than-temporary, significant estimates and considerable judgments are involved.

DEFERRED DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND OTHER ASSETS

        Deferred development costs totaled $7.5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and are primarily real estate development costs related to various projects at the Kapalua Resort that will be allocated to future development projects. Deferred development costs are written off if management decides that it is no longer probable that the Company will proceed with the related development project.

PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION

        Property is stated at cost. Major replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of an asset are charged to expense as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the property and the related accumulated depreciation are written off and the resulting gains or losses are included in income. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using the straight-line method generally over three to 25 years. Depreciation expense was $3,719,000 and $6,675,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When such events or changes occur, an estimate of the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition is made. If the sum of such expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount by which the assets' net book values exceed their fair value. The Company has evaluated certain long-lived assets for impairment and impairment charges of $1.1 million were recorded for long-lived assets in 2011 and $3.1 million for long-lived assets in 2010. These asset impairment loss analyses require management to make assumptions and apply considerable judgments regarding, among others, estimates of the timing and amount of future cash flows, expected useful lives of the assets, uncertainty about future events, including changes in economic conditions, changes in operating performance, changes in the use of the assets, and ongoing cost of maintenance and improvements of the assets, and thus, the accounting estimates may change from period to period. If management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur in future periods, the Company's financial condition or its future operating results could be materially impacted.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The Company accounts for all derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swap agreements and the derivative liability related to its convertible debt, by recognizing the derivative on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, regardless of the purpose or intent of holding them. Changes in the fair value are recognized in interest expense. The Company's interest rate swap agreements expired in January 2010 and the convertible debt was fully repaid in August 2010 (Note 4).

31


Table of Contents


EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

        The Company's policy is to fund pension cost at a level at least equal to the minimum amount required under federal law, but not more than the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes.

        The over-funded or under-funded status of the Company's defined benefit post-retirement plans are recorded as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and changes in the funded status of the plans are recorded in the year in which the changes occur, though comprehensive income. The pension asset or liability is the difference between the plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation as of year-end.

        Deferred compensation plans for certain management employees provide for specified payments after retirement. The present value of estimated payments to be made is accrued over the period of active employment. In 1998, future benefits under these plans were terminated (Note 9).

        The estimated cost of providing post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits was accrued over the period the Company's employees rendered the necessary services. In 2010, the Company terminated its postretirement health care and life insurance benefits.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

        Real estate revenues are recognized from the sale of real estate inventories in the period in which sufficient cash has been received, collection of the balance is reasonably assured and risks of ownership have passed to the buyer.

        Lease revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Also included in lease income are certain percentage rents determined in accordance with the terms of the leases. Lease income arising from tenant rents that are contingent upon the sales of the tenant exceeding a defined threshold are recognized only after the contingency has been resolved (e.g., sales thresholds have been achieved).

        Other revenues are recognized when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES

        Operating costs and expenses for real estate, leasing, utilities, resort amenities, selling and marketing, and general and administrative are exclusive of depreciation and pension and other post-retirement expense, which are shown on separate lines in the consolidated statements of operations.

INTEREST CAPITALIZATION

        Interest costs are capitalized during the construction period of major capital projects. Interest costs incurred in 2011 and 2010 were $2,729,000 and $9,496,000, respectively, of which $0 and $90,000, respectively, were capitalized.

ADVERTISING

        The costs of advertising activities are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included in selling and marketing costs in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expenses in 2011 and 2010 were $340,000 and $651,000, respectively.

LEASES

        Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of the property are accounted for as capital leases. Amortization of property under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Other leases are accounted for as operating leases. Rentals under operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.

INCOME TAXES

        The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return (Note 12).

        The Company's provision for income taxes is calculated using the liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for all temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates enacted by law or regulation. A valuation allowance is established for deferred income tax assets if management believes that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the asset will not be realized through future taxable income.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

        The Company accounts for share-based compensation, including grants of employee stock options, as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is estimated and considered in the amount recognized.

USE OF ESTIMATES

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) 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 periods. Future actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

        Factors that could adversely impact the Company's future operations or financial results include, but are not limited to the following: continued economic weakness and uncertainty in Hawaii and the mainland United States; continued high unemployment rates and low consumer confidence; the current sovereign debt crises affecting several countries in the European Union and concerns about sovereign debt in the United States; the general availability of mortgage financing, including the effect of more stringent lending standards for mortgages and perceived or actual changes in interest rates; risks related to the Company's investments in real property the value and salability of which could be impacted by the economic factors discussed above or other factors; the popularity of Maui in particular and Hawaii in general as a vacation destination or second-home market; increased energy costs, including fuel costs, which effect tourism on Maui and Hawaii generally; untimely completion of land development projects within forecasted time and budget expectations; inability to obtain land use entitlements at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner; unfavorable legislative decisions by state and local governmental agencies; the cyclical market demand for luxury real estate on Maui and in Hawaii generally; increased competition from other luxury real estate developers on Maui and in Hawaii generally; the Company's limited guarantees to complete development of the Residences at Kapalua Bay project; failure of joint venture partners to perform in accordance with their contractual agreements; environmental regulations; acts of God, such as tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters,

33


Table of Contents

including the recent tsunami in Japan; the Company's location apart from the mainland United States, which results in the Company's financial performance being more sensitive to the aforementioned economic risks; failure to comply with restrictive financial covenants in the Company's credit arrangements; and an inability to achieve the Company's short and long-term goals and cash flow requirements.. Please see the additional discussion of the risks and uncertainties applicable to our business under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements and Risks" at the beginning of this annual report and "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of this annual report.

ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION COSTS

        The Company accrues for environmental remediation costs when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Such accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. When the remediation cost is expected to be incurred within a relatively short period of time, the obligations are not discounted to their present value.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820)—Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in this ASU result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and international financial reporting standards (IFRS). The ASU also provides for certain changes in current GAAP disclosure requirements, for example with respect to the measurement of level 3 assets and for measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity's shareholders' equity. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively, and are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-15, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The amendments from this update will result in more converged guidance on how comprehensive income is presented under both U.S. GAAP and IFRS. With this update to ASC 220, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Current U.S. GAAP allows reporting entities three alternatives for presenting other comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. One of those presentation options is to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. This update eliminates that option. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively, and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

        Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares from share-based compensation arrangements had been issued.

        Potentially dilutive shares arise from non-qualified stock options to purchase common stock and non-vested restricted stock. The treasury stock method is applied to determine the number of potentially dilutive shares for non-vested restricted stock and stock options assuming that the shares of

34


Table of Contents

non-vested restricted stock are issued for an amount based on the grant date market price of the shares and that the outstanding stock options are exercised. These amounts were excluded because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

        Revenues, costs and expenses in the accompanying 2010 consolidated statement of operations have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted by the Company on September 30, 2011. The current presentation principally reflects the Company's increased emphasis of real estate, leasing, utilities and resort amenities operations and changes in segment reporting (see Note 13). The change in presentation did not have an effect on total operating revenues, total operating costs and expenses, and net income (loss).

2.     ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND REAL ESTATE SALES

        At December 31, 2010, assets held for sale included 13 acres in Kahului, Maui that was a portion of the former agriculture facilities. In 2010, this parcel was written down to its estimated fair value less cost to sell, resulting in impairment charges of $2.1 million. In June 2011, the Company sold the parcel for $9.75 million and recorded losses of $312,000. The sale resulted in net cash proceeds of $9.0 million, including $4.1 million that was initially withheld in escrow, but released after satisfaction of lender's conditions. In 2011, $899,000 of proceeds from a 2010 land sale was released from escrow after completion of certain post-closing obligations. At December 31, 2011, the Company's remaining land in Kahului of approximately 7 acres is in assets held for sale.

        In 2010, the Company sold the land, improvements, structures and fixtures comprising the Bay Course and the adjacent maintenance facility for a total of $24.1 million in cash. Concurrent with the sale, the Company entered into an agreement to lease back the assets through March 31, 2011, and due to certain construction work required by the leaseback arrangement and other continuing involvement, the sale was accounted for as a financing transaction. Accordingly, the net proceeds received had been reflected as a current liability and no gain was recognized at the time of the sale. At the conclusion of the leaseback of the Bay Course as of March 31, 2011, the Company recognized $15.1 million of gain from the sale of the Bay Course and maintenance facility, which is included in discontinued operations. In 2009, the Company sold the Plantation Golf Course (PGC) and the related land improvements and other assets and entered into a leaseback arrangement that also expired on March 31, 2011. A gain on the sale of the PGC of $27.7 million was recognized primarily in September 2010.

        In 2010, the Company recognized revenues of $7.9 million and pre-tax profit of $5.8 million from the sale of real estate inventories. Also in 2010, the Company sold three non-inventory real properties and recognized gains of $3.6 million, of which $350,000 is included in discontinued operations related to the former Agriculture segment.

3.     INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES

        The Company has a 51% ownership interest in Bay Holdings, which is the sole member of Kapalua Bay LLC, (Kapalua Bay). The other members of Bay Holdings through their wholly owned affiliates are Marriott International Inc. (Marriott), 34%, and Exclusive Resorts LLC (ER), 15% (see Note 11, Related Party Transactions). Bay Holdings is not a variable interest entity, as defined in GAAP. The Company accounts for its investment in Bay Holdings using the equity method of

35


Table of Contents

accounting because, although it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, it does not control Bay Holdings through a majority voting interest or other means. Under the LLC agreement, major decisions require the approval of either 75% or 100% of the membership interests. The Company has been designated as the managing member of Bay Holdings. Profits and losses of Bay Holdings were allocated in proportion to the members' ownership interests, which approximated the estimated cash distributions to the members.

        Bay Holdings constructed a residential development on land that it owns at the site of the former Kapalua Bay Hotel, and a spa on an adjacent parcel of land that is owned by the Company and leased to Bay Holdings. Through December 31, 2011, the sale of 28 (84 total) whole-ownership units and 177 (744 total) fractional units have closed escrow.

        As a result of the 2009 losses incurred by Bay Holdings, the Company's carrying value of its investment in Bay Holdings was written down to zero in 2009. The Company does not expect to recover any amounts from its investment in Bay Holdings. The Company will not recognize any additional equity in the earnings (losses) of Bay Holdings until the Company's income attributable to Bay Holdings exceeds its accumulated losses. The Company had made cash contributions to Bay Holdings of $53.2 million and non-monetary contributions of land valued at $25 million.

        Kapalua Bay has a construction loan agreement with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and other lenders under which $275.9 million was outstanding at December 31, 2011, and that matured on August 1, 2011. Kapalua Bay is currently working with its lenders to restructure the terms of the loan agreement to extend the maturity and to provide available funding for continued operations. The loan is collateralized by the project assets including the land that is owned by Kapalua Bay that underlies the project. The Company and the other members of Bay Holdings have guaranteed to the lenders completion of the project and recourse with regard to certain acts, but have not guaranteed repayment of the loan. The Company has recorded $4.1 million in accrued contract termination in the consolidated balance sheet as its estimated share of the completion and recourse guarantees. The Company has no other funding commitments to Bay Holdings. The Company will not recognize any additional equity in the earnings (losses) of Bay Holdings until the recognized income attributable to Bay Holdings exceeds the accumulated losses.

        Summarized balance sheet and operating information for Bay Holdings as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 (as restated) and for the years then ended are as follows:

        Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's 2010 financial statements, management of Bay Holdings determined that real estate inventories and other assets should have been impaired by approximately $70 million. As a result, the amounts in the table above have been restated to reduce real estate inventories, increase costs and expenses, and increase members' deficiency and net loss. Additionally, corrections were made to other liabilities and expenses to accrue for previously unrecorded liabilities. The restatement of Bay Holdings financial information had no impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations, statement of cash flows, or statement of stockholders' deficiency as the Company's investment in Bay Holdings was impaired to zero in 2009 and the Company is not allocated subsequent losses.

4.     FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

        During 2011 and 2010, the Company had average borrowings outstanding of $45.0 million and $75.4 million, respectively, at average interest rates of 4.8% and 5.7%, respectively. At December 31, 2011, the Company had unused long-term revolving credit of $12.9 million.

        Long-term debt at December 31, 2011 and 2010 consisted of the following (interest rates represent the rates at December 31):

WELLS FARGO

        The Company has a $34.5 million revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo that matures on May 1, 2013. Interest rates on borrowings are at LIBOR plus 3.8% and the line of credit is collateralized by approximately 880 acres of the Company's real estate holdings at the Kapalua Resort. The line of credit agreement contains various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. Financial covenants include a required minimum liquidity of $4 million (as defined, which includes the available line of credit) and maximum total liabilities of $175 million. The credit agreement includes predetermined release prices for the real property securing the credit facility and an option to extend the maturity date to May 1, 2014, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including the absence of any material adverse change in financial condition and maintenance of the loan to value ratio of the collateral. In July 2011, the Company paid down the line of credit with $4.1 million of proceeds from the sale of real estate (Note 2) and in August 2011, the line of credit agreement was modified to reserve $4.1 million of credit availability for the payment of legacy costs (as defined) and to exclude $4.1 million from the credit line availability in the calculation of the minimum liquidity financial covenant. As of December 31, 2011, the amount reserved for legacy costs and excluded from credit availability has been reduced by $2.0 million as legacy costs were paid. In July 2012, to the extent that the $4.1 million reserved for payment of legacy costs is not expended, the $34.5 million revolving line of credit

37

commitment will be reduced by such amounts. There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolving facility. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $12.9 million available borrowing capacity and irrevocable letters of credit totaling $0.5 million that were secured by the Wells Fargo revolving line of credit.

AMERICAN AGCREDIT

        At December 31, 2011, the Company had $24.4 million outstanding under a term loan with American AgCredit that matures on May 1, 2013. The interest rate on this credit facility is based on the greater of 1.00% or the 30-day LIBOR rate, plus an applicable spread of 4.25%. The loan agreement provides for tiered reductions in the applicable spread to 3.75%, subject to corresponding reductions in the principal balance of the loan. The loan requires mandatory principal prepayments of 100% of the net proceeds of the sale of any real property pledged as collateral for the loan. It also requires tiered mandatory principal prepayments based on predetermined percentages ranging from 10% to 75% of the net proceeds from the sale of non-collateralized real property. The credit agreement is collateralized by approximately 3,100 acres of the Company's real estate holdings in West Maui and Upcountry Maui. The term loan agreement contains various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. Financial covenants include a required minimum liquidity, as defined, of $4 million and maximum total liabilities of $175 million.

        As of December 31, 2011, the Company believes it is in compliance with the covenants under the Wells Fargo and American AgCredit credit facilities.

SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES

        In July 2008, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional accredited investors and issued an aggregate of $40 million in principal amount of senior secured convertible notes, bearing 5.875% interest per annum.

        In July 2010, the Company concluded a rights offering and received gross subscription proceeds of $40 million. In August 2010, the Company repurchased all $40 million of its outstanding convertible notes for $35.2 million which resulted in a net loss of $617,000 that was included in general and administrative expenses.

5.     RIGHTS OFFERING

        In June 2010, the Company initiated a shareholder rights offering for up to $40 million of its common stock with the intent to utilize the proceeds from the offering to repurchase up to all of its $40 million of outstanding convertible notes. In accordance with the terms of the offering, each shareholder received one non-transferable subscription right for each share of common stock owned as of the close of business on July 7, 2010, the record date for the rights offering. Each subscription right entitled the shareholder to purchase approximately 1.23 shares of common stock at a subscription price of $3.85 per share. Shareholders who fully exercised all of their initial subscription rights were entitled to purchase any unsubscribed shares at the same subscription price per share, on a pro rata basis, subject to the terms of the rights offering.

        In conjunction with the rights offering, the Company entered into agreements with holders of all of the convertible notes to repurchase their notes at 88% of face value. The Company paid to these note holders a lock-up fee of 2% of face value in exchange for their agreement not to transfer their notes for a 47-day period.

        The rights offering concluded on July 29, 2010 and the Company received gross proceeds of $40 million and issued 10,389,610 shares of common stock. On August 3, 2010, the Company completed the repurchase of all $40 million face amount of its outstanding senior secured convertible notes for $35.2 million. Stephen M. Case who held approximately 41% of the Company's outstanding shares at the time of the rights offering purchased approximately 8.3 million shares in the rights offering.

6.     FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

        GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements to enable the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. GAAP requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

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

Level 2:

 

Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3:

 

Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

        In July 2008, the Company issued $40 million in senior secured notes that were convertible into the Company's common stock. The conversion features related to the notes that gave rise to a derivative liability carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized currently in interest expense. As a result of the bifurcation of the conversion feature from the convertible notes, the carrying value of the convertible notes at inception was $29.9 million which was being accreted to interest expense using the effective interest method to the stated value of the convertible notes of $40 million over the three-year term of the notes. In August 2010, the convertible notes were fully repaid (Note 4).

        In January 2008, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to reduce future cash flow variability for approximately two years on $55 million of variable rate debt. The effect of the agreements was to convert variable-rate interest to fixed-rate interest of approximately 4.4% based on a 2-year fixed LIBOR rate. The transactions were not designated as hedges, and accordingly, the gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value from these interest rate swaps were recognized currently in interest expense. The interest rate swap agreements expired in January 2010.

        Information regarding assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

  Interest expense     489  

        In 2011, long-lived assets with a carrying value of $1.9 million were written down to their estimated fair value less costs to sell (based on Level 3 inputs), resulting in impairment losses of $1.1 million. In 2010, assets held for sale with carrying value of $11.1 million were written down to the lower of net book value or estimated fair value less costs to sell (based on Level 3 inputs), resulting in impairment losses of $2.1 million, which were recorded in discontinued operations. Also in 2010, land with a carrying value of $4.4 million was written down to the lower of net book value or estimated fair value less costs to sell (based on Level 3 inputs), resulting in a $1.0 million impairment charge.

        The fair value of long-term debt was estimated based on rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The carrying amount of long-term debt at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $45,521,000 and $45,200,000, respectively, which approximated fair value. The carrying amount of the Company's other financial instruments approximates fair value.

7.     DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

        In September 2011, the Company ceased operations of the Kapalua Logo Shop, and as of October 1, 2011, the retail space was leased to a third party operator. In June 2011, the Company ceased operating the Honolua Store and leased the premises to a third party operator. At the end of the lease back arrangements for the Bay Course and the PGC, the Company gave up its right to continue to operate the retail operations at the two pro shops and entered into an agreement whereby it would receive royalties for certain merchandise sold by the owner of the golf courses. Following the cessation of operations of the Kapalua Logo Shop in September, the Company's retail operations are being reported as discontinued operations.

        As of April 2011, the Company's business no longer included the operations of the PGC and the Bay Course at Kapalua Resort (Note 2) and accordingly, these operations are reported as discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations for 2011 includes $15.1 million gain from the sale of the Bay Course; and income from discontinued operations for 2010 includes $26.7 million gain from sale of the PGC.

        The Company ceased all agriculture operations as of the end of 2009 and accordingly, these operations are reported as discontinued operations. Loss from discontinued agriculture operations in 2011 includes the loss of $312,000 from the June 2011 sale of a portion of the former agriculture processing facilities (Note 2). Income from discontinued agriculture operations for 2010 includes a credit of $14.9 million representing the gain from settlement of the post-retirement health and life insurance plans (Note 9).

LESSEE

        The Company does not have any capital lease obligations at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2010, property included capital leases of $436,000 (before accumulated amortization of $201,000).

        The Company has various operating leases which expire in 2012 and 2013. Total rental expense under operating leases was $286,000 in 2011 and $1,716,000 in 2010. Future minimum rental payments due under operating leases total $47,000 in 2012 and $21,000 in 2013.

LESSOR

        The Company leases land primarily to agriculture operators and space in commercial buildings, primarily to retail tenants. These operating leases generally provide for minimum rents and, in most

9.     EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

        The Company had defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all full-time, part-time and intermittent employees. Effective as of January 1, 2010, the defined benefit pension plan covering non-bargaining salaried employees was frozen, and effective January 1, 2011, pension benefits for non-bargaining hourly employees were also frozen and no further pension benefits will accrue to the affected employees. Effective April 1, 2011, the Company did not have any active employees accruing pension benefits as the remaining employees who were covered under the Pension Plan for Bargaining Unit and Hourly employees (Bargaining Plan) were terminated when the Company's golf course operations ceased. The Company had defined benefit post-retirement health and life insurance plans that covered primarily non-bargaining salaried employees and certain bargaining unit employees. Post-retirement health and life insurance benefits were principally based on the employee's job classification at the time of retirement and on years of service. In 2010, the Company's post-retirement health and life insurance plans were terminated.

        The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was based on historical total returns of broad equity and bond indices for ten to fifteen year periods, weighted against the Company's targeted pension asset allocation ranges. These rates were also compared to historical rates of return on hypothetical blended funds with 60% equity securities and 40% bond securities.

        U.S. government securities:    U.S. government treasury and agency securities are valued based upon the closing price reported in the active market in which the security is traded. U.S. government agency and corporate asset- backed securities may utilize models, such as a matrix pricing model, that incorporates other observable inputs such as cash flow, security structure, or market information, when broker/dealer quotes are not available.

        An administrative committee consisting of certain senior management employees administers the Company's defined benefit pension plans. The pension plan assets are allocated among approved asset types based on asset allocation guidelines and investment and risk-management guidelines set by the administrative committee, and subject to liquidity requirements of the plans. The administrative committee has set the following asset mix guidelines: equity securities 40% to 80%; debt securities 20% to 60%; international securities 0% to 10%; and cash or equivalents 0% to 10%.

        The Company expects to contribute $2.5 million to its defined benefit pension plans in 2012. Estimated future benefit payments are as follows (in thousands):

        The Company's cessation of its pineapple operations at the end of 2009 and the corresponding reduction in the active participant count for the Bargaining Plan triggered the requirement that the Company provide security to the Pension Benefits Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) of approximately $5.2 million to support the unfunded liabilities of the Bargaining Plan. In April 2011, the Company executed a settlement agreement with the PBGC and pledged security of approximately 1,400 acres in West Maui that will be released in five years if the Company does not otherwise default on the

Table of Contents

agreement. The Company was advised in October 2011 that the cessation of its golf operations and the corresponding reduction in the active participant count for the Bargaining Plan and the Pension Plan for Non-Bargaining Unit Employees has triggered the requirement that the Company provide additional security to the PBGC of approximately $18.7 million to support the unfunded liabilities of the two pension plans or to make contributions to the plans in excess of the minimum required amounts. The Company is currently working with the PBGC to reach an agreement as to the amount of the contributions that will be made and/or the form and amount of collateral that will be provided to the PBGC in connection with the unfunded liabilities.

        The Company has investment and savings plans that allow eligible employees on a voluntary basis to make pre-tax contributions of their cash compensation. Substantially all employees are eligible to participate in one or more plans. No Company contributions were made to these plans in 2011 or 2010.

        On October 1, 1998, deferred compensation plans that provided for specified payments after retirement for certain management employees were amended to eliminate future benefits. At the termination date, these employees were given credit for existing years of service and the future vesting of additional benefits was discontinued. The present value of the benefits to be paid is being accrued over the period of active employment. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, deferred compensation plan liabilities totaled $697,000 and $867,000, respectively.

10.   SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

        The Company accounts for share-based compensation arrangements, including grants of employee stock options, as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount recognized. Excess tax benefits are reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid.

        The total compensation expense recognized for share-based compensation was $646,000 and $735,000 for 2011 and 2010, respectively. There was no tax benefit or expense related thereto. Recognized share-based compensation was reduced for estimated forfeitures prior to vesting based primarily on historical annual forfeiture rates of approximately 3.5% and 4.0%, for 2011 and 2010, respectively. Estimated forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances.

        In May 2006, the Company's shareholders approved the 2006 Equity and Incentive Award Plan (the "2006 Plan") and an increase in the number of shares of common stock authorized under the Articles of Association by 1,000,000 shares, all of which have been reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan provides that the administrator can grant stock options and other equity instruments. The terms of certain grant types follow general guidelines, but the term and conditions of each award can vary at the discretion of the administrator. With respect to awards granted to non-employee directors, the administrator of the 2006 Plan is the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee of the Board is the administrator of the 2006 Plan for all other persons, unless the Board assumes authority for administration.

        The Company has a 51% ownership interest in Bay Holdings, the owner and developer of The Residences at Kapalua Bay. The other members of Bay Holdings, through wholly owned affiliates, are Marriott, which owns a 34% interest in Bay Holdings, and ER which owns the remaining 15% interest

in Bay Holdings. Stephen M. Case, who is a director and a 63% shareholder of the Company as of March 2012, is the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and indirect beneficial owner of Revolution LLC, which is the indirect majority owner of ER, and thus Mr. Case may be deemed to have a beneficial interest in Bay Holdings. Mr. Case held approximately 41% of the Company's outstanding shares at the time of the Company's $40 million rights offering in 2010 and purchased approximately 8.3 million shares in the rights offering (Note 5).

12.   INCOME TAXES

        GAAP prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In 2011, tax liability and accrued interest on uncertain tax positions was reduced by $326,000 and $353,000, respectively, because of expiration of statutes of limitations and a correction related to prior years (Note 15). As of December 31, 2011, total accrued interest for uncertain income tax positions was $830,000.

        The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties in general and administrative expense in its consolidated statement of operations and such amounts are included in income taxes payable on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Balance at end of year

  $ 626   $ 952  
           

        At December 31, 2011 there were no unrecognized tax benefits for which the liability for such taxes was recognized as deferred tax liabilities because such unrecognized revenue items have reversed. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were $232,000 and $558,000 of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.

        Valuation allowances have been established to reduce future tax benefits expected to be realized. The Company had $74.4 million in federal net operating loss carry forwards at December 31, 2011, that expire from 2028 through 2031. Net operating loss for state income tax purposes that expire from 2028 through 2031 totaled $88.3 million at December 31, 2011. The Company's federal income tax returns for 2005 through 2008 are currently under examination and the Internal Revenue Service has proposed approximately $14.3 million of additional taxable income. The Company disagrees with approximately $13.9 million of the proposed adjustments and intends to continue to defend its positions.

13.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

        In 2011, the Company revised its operating segments to reflect the September 2011 discontinuation of retail operations, the March 2011 discontinuation of golf operations and the Company's increased emphasis on real estate, leasing, utilities and resort amenities operations. The reportable operating segment presentation adopted is consistent with how the Company's chief operating decision maker determines the allocation of resources. Reportable segments are as follows:

14.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA)

        The Company had a contractual obligation to the LPGA to sponsor an annual golf tournament for five years beginning in October 2008. The cost of such a tournament, including the production and the purse were significant and the Company was seeking a title sponsor to defray part of the cost. In June 2009, the Company announced that due to a lack of a title sponsor, it would be unable to hold the 2009 LPGA event that was scheduled for October. This resulted in a dispute with the LPGA, which was contractually required to be settled by mediation. In consideration for the suspension of the mediation proceedings, the Company paid the LPGA $700,000 in 2010 and $700,000 in February 2011. In January 2012, the Company and the LPGA agreed that the Company would pay an additional $1.0 million to the LPGA in 2012 in settlement of all claims and the Company has accrued for this settlement amount as of December 31, 2011, which is included in accrued contract terminations in the consolidated balance sheet.

Discontinued Operations

        On April 19, 2011, a lawsuit was filed against the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd., and several other Hawaii based farmers by the EEOC. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, District of Hawaii, pursuant to Civil Action No. 11-00257. The lawsuit alleges unlawful employment practices on the basis of national origin and race discrimination, harassment and retaliation and seeks injunctive relief, unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and other relief. The Company believes it has not been involved in any wrongdoing, disagrees with the charges and plans to vigorously defend itself. The Company is presently unable to reasonably estimate the amount of probable liability, if any, related to this matter and, accordingly, has made no provision in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

        Pursuant to a 1999 settlement agreement with the County of Maui, the Company and several chemical manufacturers have agreed that until December 1, 2039, they will pay for 90% of the capital costs to install filtration systems in any future water wells if the presence of a nematocide, commonly known as DBCP, exceeds specified levels, and for the ongoing maintenance and operating cost for filtration systems on existing and future wells. The Company estimated its share of the cost to operate and maintain the filtration systems for the existing wells, and its share of the cost of a letter of credit used to secure its obligations, and through December 31, 2011 has recorded a liability of $516,000 of which $390,000 has been paid. The Company is presently not aware of any plans by the County of Maui to install other filtration systems or to drill any water wells in areas affected by agricultural chemicals. Accordingly, a reserve for costs relating to any future wells has not been recorded because the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount of liability, if any.

Investments in Affiliates

        Pursuant to a previous agreement, the Company agreed to purchase from Kapalua Bay the Amenities that were completed in 2009 at the actual construction cost of approximately $35 million. Through December 31, 2010, Bay Holdings recorded impairment charges in its consolidated financial

50


Table of Contents

statements (Note 3) of approximately $23 million related to the Amenities. The Company is currently in discussion with the other members of Bay Holdings and the lenders to negotiate the terms of the purchase and sale. No provision has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to the Company's executory contract to purchase the Amenities. If the Amenities are subsequently acquired, they will be evaluated for impairment.

        Pursuant to loan agreements related to certain equity investments, the Company and the other members of the respective joint ventures have guaranteed to lenders each investors' pro rata share of costs and losses that may be incurred by the lender as a result of the occurrence of specified triggering events. These guarantees do not include full payment of the loans. At December 31, 2011, the Company has recognized the estimated fair value of its obligations under these agreements (Note 3).

Other

        In February 2010, the Company received notification from the Internal Revenue Service proposing changes to the Company's employment tax withholdings. The Company currently does not expect the ultimate resolution of the matter to be material and has recorded an amount as the low end of the range of its potential exposure.

        In addition to the matters noted above, there are various other claims and legal actions pending against the Company. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the resolution of these other matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

15.   CORRECTION TO PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company concluded that its liability for refundable deposits due to its Kapalua Club members was understated by approximately $1,506,000 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. This understatement originated from initiation dues received for memberships issued in years prior to 2009 for which the refundable portion was not recorded as a liability. In addition, the Company concluded that the estimated interest on uncertain tax positions was overstated by approximately $571,000 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 because of net operating losses available to be carried back from 2008 and 2009 to earlier years. As a result, the accompanying consolidated statement of stockholders' deficiency for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 have been corrected as follows:

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

        Our management has the responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our internal controls over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting only provides reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement presentation and preparation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on its assessments, management believes that, as of December 31, 2011, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
