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, its principal subsidiary, Kapalua Land Company, Ltd. and certain other subsidiaries of the Company.

        The Company owns approximately 23,300 acres of land on Maui and develops, sells, and manages residential, resort, commercial, and industrial real estate through the following business segments:

    Real Estate—Our real estate operations consist of land planning and entitlement, development, and sales.

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

    Utilities—We operate two publicly-regulated utility companies which provide potable and non-potable water and sewage transmission services to the Kapalua Resort. In addition, we also manage ditch, reservoir and well systems which provide non-potable irrigation water to West and Upcountry Maui areas.

    Resort Amenities—Within the Kapalua Resort, we manage a full-service spa, a beach club, and a private club membership program.

        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 12 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this annual report.

Fiscal Year 2012 Business Developments

        The following highlights several of our significant business developments during 2012.

        Bay Holdings—On June 13, 2012, the lenders of the Residences at Kapalua Bay construction loan filed for foreclosure against Bay Holdings, the sole member of Kapalua Bay LLC ("Kapalua Bay"), and other entities related to the project. In September 2012, three of the lenders assigned their loans and other interests to a non-affiliated investment company. A public auction for the foreclosure proceeding was held on December 3, 2012 and on January 31, 2013, the investment company was confirmed as the successful bidder of Kapalua Bay's assets.

        Land Use Entitlements—On December 21, 2012, the Maui County Council gave final approval of the county's general plan, which outlines and directs the future growth areas on Maui. Several of our landholdings received favorable treatment including the designation of approximately 290 acres in Upcountry Maui as a "Small Town."

        Asset Sale—In January 2012, we sold 89 acres comprising a portion of our former agricultural land in Upcountry Maui for $1.5 million.

        Utility Companies—In February 2012, the operations of Kapalua Water Company, Ltd. and Kapalua Waste Treatment Company, Ltd. were outsourced to a management company which specializes in operating water systems in Hawaii.

Table of Contents

        Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA)—In January 2012, we reached a settlement of our dispute with the LPGA regarding a contractual obligation to sponsor annual golf tournaments through October 2013. We paid $1 million to the LPGA during 2012 in settlement of all claims.

        Defined Benefit Pension Plans—In November 2012, we reached a settlement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) regarding additional collateral that was required to secure our unfunded pension liability as a result of the cessation of our golf operations in 2011.

        New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)—In October 2012, we received notification from the NYSE that we were not in compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standards because our average market capitalization was less than $50 million over a 30 trading-day period and our most recently reported shareholders' equity was less than $50 million. As prescribed by NYSE procedures, on December 3, 2012 we submitted a business plan to the NYSE demonstrating our ability to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards within 18 months. On January 11, 2013, we were informed that the NYSE accepted our business plan.

        For a further discussion about our business developments in 2012, 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.

        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:

    Kapalua Resort:  As presently planned, the development of the resort is comprised of approximately 800 single and multi-family residential units, approximately 30,000 square feet of new commercial/retail space and up to 27 additional holes of golf on a total of 900 acres. The planned development includes the projects formerly referred to as Kapalua Mauka and the

2


Table of Contents

      Village at Kapalua as well as other projects. Design and permitting for various components of the master plan are underway.

    Pulelehua:  This project is designed to be a new community for working families in West Maui. It encompasses 312 acres and is currently planned to include 13 acres for an elementary school, 882 dwelling units, 91 acres of usable open space, and a traditional village center with a mix of residential and neighborhood-serving commercial uses. In November 2011, this project received final zoning approval from the County of Maui. Planning and subdivision work for this project is underway.

    Hali`imaile Town:  An expansion of the existing plantation town in Upcountry Maui, this project is contemplated to be a holistic traditional community with agriculture and sustainability as core design elements. On December 21, 2012, the Maui County Council gave final approval of the county's general plan, which included designating 290 acres of our Hali'imaile Upcountry lands as urban "Small Town." Development of this area will require further county and state approvals which are expected to take several years.

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

        Real Estate Sales—In 2012, we sold an 89-acre parcel in Upcountry Maui for $1.5 million. We have a general brokerage subsidiary, Kapalua Realty Company, Ltd., which is located in the Kapalua Resort. Revenues from this operating segment for 2012 consisted of real estate sales and commissions recognized mainly from sales of existing real estate within the resort and totaled $2.5 million, or approximately 16% of consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012.

        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.

        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.

        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, mainly in conjunction with the leasing of our commercial spaces and agricultural lands.

        Stewardship and Conservation—We manage the conservation of an 8,600-acre nature and watershed preserve in West Maui. A portion of our stewardship and conservation efforts is subsidized by the State of Hawaii and other organizations.

Table of Contents

        Revenues from our Leasing segment totaled $5.8 million, or approximately 36% of consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012.

        Our leasing operations face substantial competition from other property owners in Maui and 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 in West and Upcountry Maui areas.

        Kapalua Water Company, Ltd.    provides potable and non-potable water utility services in the Kapalua Resort area, including the Kapalua Plantation Golf Course (PGC) and the Kapalua Bay Golf Course (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 water treatment is processed by the County of Maui's facility in neighboring Lahaina, Maui.

        In February 2012, the operations of Kapalua Water Company, Ltd. and Kapalua Waste Treatment Company, Ltd were outsourced to a management company which specializes in operating water systems in Hawaii.

        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 $3.5 million, or approximately 22% of consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012.

        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 , and is leased by us 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 and is leased by us on a month-to-month basis.

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

        Revenues from our Resort Amenities segment totaled $4.2 million, or approximately 26% of consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Table of Contents

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

Discontinued Operations

        In December 2009, we ceased all agriculture operations. In April 2011, we ceased management of the PGC and Bay Course after the owner engaged a new operator. During 2011, we entered into long-term lease arrangements for our retail stores in the Kapalua Resort and in September 2011, we ceased our retail operations. Our former agriculture, golf and retail businesses are reported as discontinued operations in this annual report.

Employees

        As of December 31, 2012, we had 17 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.

Table of Contents

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. 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:

    periods of economic uncertainty and weakness in Hawaii and in the United States generally;

    continuing high unemployment rates and low consumer confidence;

    the current sovereign debt crises affecting several countries in the European Union and concerns about sovereign debt of 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;

    increased energy costs, including fuel costs, which could impact the cost and desirability of traveling to Hawaii;

    local, state and federal government regulation, including eminent domain laws, which may result in a taking for less compensation than the owner believes the property is worth;

    the popularity of Maui in particular and Hawaii in general as a vacation destination or second home market;

    the relationship of the dollar to foreign currencies;

    tax law changes, including potential limits or elimination of the deductibility of certain mortgage interest expense, the application of the alternative minimum tax, real property taxes and employee relocation expenses; and/or

    acts of God, such as tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters.

        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

Table of Contents

United States, natural disasters, 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:

    our actual or potential lack of voting control over the joint venture;

    our ability to maintain good relationships with our joint venture partners;

    a venture partner at any time may have economic or business interests that are inconsistent with ours, especially in light of the ongoing economic uncertainty and weakness;

    a venture partner may fail to fund its share of operations and development activities, or to fulfill its other commitments, including providing accurate and timely accounting and financial information to us; and

    a joint venture or venture partner could lose key personnel.

        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 commitments 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, 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, 2012, 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. We do not have sufficient liquidity to purchase the Amenities at the actual construction costs. In June 2012, the lenders of the Residences at Kapalua Bay construction loan filed for foreclosure against Bay Holdings and other entities related to the project. A public auction for the foreclosure proceeding was held on December 3, 2012 and on January 31, 2013, a third-party investment company was confirmed as the successful bidder of Kapalua Bay's assets.

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:

    construction delays or cost overruns that may increase project costs;

    receipt of zoning, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations;

    development costs incurred for projects that are not pursued to completion;

    earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, fires or other natural disasters that could adversely impact a project;

    defects in design or construction that may result in additional costs to remedy or require all or a portion of a property to be closed during the period required to rectify the situation;

    ability to raise capital;

    impact of governmental assessments such as park fees or affordable housing requirements;

    governmental restrictions on the nature or size of a project or timing of completion; and

    the potential lack of adequate building/construction capacity for large development projects.

        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.

Table of Contents

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 our defined benefit pension plans, however, the funded status for these plans as of December 31, 2012 is a liability of approximately $30.3 million. Contributions to our defined benefit pension plans are expected to be approximately $2.4 million in 2013. 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 our credit agreements. Failure to satisfy the covenants under these agreements could accelerate our repayment obligations, which could adversely affect our operations and financial results and impact our ability to satisfy our other financial obligations and ability to continue as a going concern.

        We had approximately $49.3 million of indebtedness as of December 31, 2012, consisting of a secured revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo for up to $34.5 million, of which we had $8.8 million in availability as of December 31, 2012, and a secured term loan with American AgCredit for

10


Table of Contents

$24.1 million. Both credit facilities were scheduled to mature on May 1, 2013. In February 2013, we extended the maturity date of both credit facilities to May 1, 2014.

        We have pledged a significant portion of our real estate holdings as security for borrowings under our credit facilities, limiting our ability to borrow additional funds.

        Both of our credit 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 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.

Our cash outlook for the next twelve months and our ability to continue to meet our loan covenants and to continue as a going concern is highly dependent on successfully implementing our business initiatives and selling real estate assets at acceptable prices.

        In 2012, we had negative cash flows from operations of $3.8 million and at December 31, 2012, we had borrowings outstanding of $49.3 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 at acceptable prices. If we are unable to meet our loan 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 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 business initiatives to reduce cash commitments, to generate cash flow, to reduce costs, and to sell real estate assets and pay down our debt. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully achieve these initiatives, 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 2012, the daily closing price per share of our common stock has ranged from a high of $4.49 per share to a low of $1.83 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:

    our quarterly or annual earnings or those of other companies in our industry;

    actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

    the relatively low volume of trading in our stock; and

    the lack of significant securities analysts coverage of our stock.

11


Table of Contents

        Fluctuations in the price of our common stock may also 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, 2012 was approximately 8,772 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.

If we do not meet the continued listing requirements of the NYSE, our common stock may be delisted.

        Our common stock is currently listed on the NYSE. On October 23, 2012 we received notification from the NYSE that we were not in compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standards because our average market capitalization was less than $50 million over a 30 trading-day period and our most recently reported shareholders' equity was less than $50 million. As prescribed by NYSE procedures, on December 3, 2012 we submitted a business plan to the NYSE demonstrating our ability to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards within 18 months. On January 11, 2013, we were informed that the NYSE accepted our business plan.

        If we are unable to maintain compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standards the NYSE may take action to delist our common stock. Delisting could negatively impact us by, among other things, reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock, reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, and limiting our ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future, and might negatively impact our reputation and, as a consequence, our business. In addition, if our common stock is delisted, it would violate the provisions of our credit agreements.

We may need additional funds which, if available, could result in significant dilution to our stockholders, have superior rights to our common stock and contain covenants that restrict our operations.

        If we continue to operate unprofitably, if unanticipated contingencies arise or if we are required to retire any significant portion of our outstanding indebtedness, it will be necessary for us to raise additional capital either through public or private equity or debt financing. We cannot say with any certainty that we will be able to obtain the additional needed funds on reasonable terms, or at all. If we were to raise capital through the issuance of our common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into our common stock, our existing stockholders may suffer significant dilution. If we issued preferred equity or debt securities, these securities could have rights superior to holders of our common stock and could contain covenants that will restrict our operations. If additional funds are raised through a bank credit facility or the issuance of debt securities, the holder of such indebtedness would have rights

senior to the rights of equity holders and the terms of such indebtedness could impose restrictions on our operations.

Item 1B.    UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

        Not applicable.

Item 2.    PROPERTIES

        We own approximately 23,300 acres of land on Maui. Approximately 3,700 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:

    certain easements and rights-of-way that do not materially affect our use of the property;

    a mortgage on approximately 3,100 acres previously used in Agriculture operations, which secures our $24.1 million term loan agreement;

    a mortgage on approximately 900 acres of land in West Maui primarily within the Kapalua Resort, which secures our $34.5 million revolving credit facility;

    mortgages on approximately 7,000 acres of land in West Maui, which secures approximately $23.9 million of our pension obligations.

    a permanent conservation easement granted to The Nature Conservancy of Hawaii, a non-profit corporation, covering approximately 8,600 acres of forest reserve land; and

    a small percentage of our land in various locations on which multiple claims of ownership exist, for some of which we are securing clean title.

        A summary of the current use of our land holdings as of December 31, 2012 follows:

 
  Acres

    7,800  

Operations

    2,300  

Planned development

    1,400  
       

    23,300  
       

        Approximately 21,300 acres of our land are located in West Maui, approximately 2,000 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.

Table of Contents

        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.

        On June 7, 2012, a group of owners of 11 whole-ownership units at the Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, Kapalua Bay filed a lawsuit against multiple parties including the Company. 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.

        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.

Item 5.    MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

        Our common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol "MLP." We did not declare any dividends in 2012 and 2011. Our ability to declare dividends is restricted by the terms of our credit agreements. We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2012, there were 322 shareholders of record of our common stock.

        We reported net loss of $4.6 million or $0.25 per share for 2012 compared to net income of $5.1 million or $0.27 per share for 2011. Consolidated revenues for 2012 include the January 2012 sale of an 89-acre parcel in Upcountry Maui for $1.5 million. The lower loss from continuing operations in 2012 reflects improved performance from our business segments and continuing cost reduction efforts. Income from discontinued operations for 2011 included a gain of $15.1 million recognized in March 2011 from sale of the Bay Course.

        Revenues for 2012 include the January 2012 sale of an 89-acre parcel in Upcountry Maui for $1.5 million. We had no sales of real estate inventory in 2011. The other revenues included in this operating segment were real estate sales commissions from Kapalua Realty Company totaling $1.0 million for 2012 and $1.1 million for 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.

Revenues

  $ 5,806   $ 5,144  

Operating Profit (Loss)

  $ 428   $ (1,000 )

        The increase in leasing revenues in 2012 is primarily due to improved operating performance of our resort tenants and new commercial space and agricultural land leases. The increase in operating profit for 2012 is attributed to lower general and administrative expenses and improved performance from outsourcing the management of our commercial property portfolio in 2011.

Revenues

  $ 4,228   $ 3,854  

Operating Loss

  $ (181 ) $ (803 )

        Increased revenues in 2012 were due to higher spa service and treatment revenues and increased membership dues from growth in the Kapalua Club's membership base. Reduced operating losses for 2012 are primarily due to lower general and administrative expenses.

General and Administrative

  $ 3,029   $ 6,271  

        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 expenses at the corporate level. Such allocations are made on the basis of our evaluation of the level of services provided to the operating segments.

        Lower general and administrative expenses in 2012 were primarily due to reduced staffing levels, and lower professional services and outside consultant costs. General and administrative expenses for 2011 include a $1.5 million contribution of approximately 22 acres to Maui Preparatory Academy.

        Selling and marketing expenses decreased from $792,000 in 2011 to $168,000 in 2012, as we discontinued operating certain businesses, and the lessees and licensees of our properties and trade names assumed the responsibility for marketing.

Income From Discontinued Operations Before Income Taxes

  $ 354   $ 14,628  

        Our former retail, golf and agriculture operations are reported as discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations for 2011 includes a $15.1 million gain from the sale of the Bay Course. See Note 6 to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this annual report.

INTEREST EXPENSE

        Interest expense was $2.6 million for 2012 compared to $2.7 million for 2011, of which $300,000 was included in discontinued operations in 2011. Our average interest rates on borrowings was 4.7% for 2012, compared to 4.8% for 2011, and average borrowings were $47 million in 2012 compared to $45 million in 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        At December 31, 2012, our total debt was $49.3 million compared to $45.5 million at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, we had approximately $8.8 million available under our revolving line of credit and $829,000 in cash and cash equivalents.

Revolving Line of Credit with Wells Fargo

        We have a $34.5 million revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo that was scheduled to mature on May 1, 2013. In February 2013, we exercised our option to extend the maturity date to May 1, 2014. 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, maximum total liabilities of $175 million, and a limitation on new indebtedness. The credit agreement includes predetermined release prices for the real property securing the credit facility. There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolving facility. Absent the sale of some of our real estate holdings or refinancing, we do not expect to be able to repay any significant amount of borrowings under the credit line.

        As of December 31, 2012, we had $25.2 million of borrowings outstanding under our revolving line of credit, $8.8 million available borrowing capacity and irrevocable letters of credit totaling $0.5 million that were secured by the line of credit.

Term Loan with American AgCredit

        We have a $24.1 million term loan with American AgCredit that was scheduled to mature on May 1, 2013. In February 2013, we amended our term loan agreement to extend the maturity date to May 1, 2014. 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 a mandatory principal repayment of $4.1 million by December 31, 2013. The 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, maximum total liabilities of $175 million and a limitation on new indebtedness. It also requires mandatory principal repayments of 100% of the net proceeds of the sale of any real property pledged as collateral for the loan and tiered mandatory principal repayments based on predetermined percentages ranging from 10% to 75% of the net proceeds from the sale of non-collateralized real property. In accordance with this provision, we made a $353,000 principal repayment in January 2012, in conjunction with a sale of a non-collateralized real estate parcel in Upcountry Maui for $1.5 million. The loan is collateralized by approximately 3,100 acres of our real estate holdings in West Maui and Upcountry Maui. Absent the sale of some of our real estate holdings or refinancing, we do not expect to be able to pay the outstanding balance under the term loan on the maturity date.

Cash Flows

        Net cash used in operating activities for 2012 was $3.8 million compared to $10.2 million in 2011. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to our initiatives to reduce cash commitments, mainly by implementing cost reduction measures.

        During 2012, net borrowings from our Wells Fargo revolving line of credit were $4.1 million. In 2012, repayments of our American AgCredit term loan were $353,000. Interest paid in 2012 and 2011

Table of Contents

was $2.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Mandatory funding contributions to our retirement plans totaled $2.4 million for both 2012 and 2011.

Future Cash Inflows and Outflows

        Our plans for 2013 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 loan covenants and to continue as a going concern is highly dependent on successfully implementing our business initiatives and selling real estate assets at acceptable prices. If we are unable to meet our loan covenants resulting in our loan borrowings becoming immediately due, we would not have sufficient liquidity to repay such outstanding borrowings.

        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 Notes 3, 8 and 14 to the accompanying 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. We are in active negotiations with the lenders of the Residences at Kapalua Bay project to resolve our limited guarantees and purchase commitment for the Amenities.

        Contributions to our defined benefit pension plans are expected to be approximately $2.4 million in 2013.

        We do not anticipate any significant capital expenditures in 2013.

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:

    Our investment in Bay Holdings was written down to zero at December 31, 2009 to recognize an other-than-temporary impairment and to record losses incurred by Bay Holdings in the third quarter of 2009. We and the other members of Bay Holdings have guaranteed to the lenders completion of the project and recourse with regard to certain acts, and we have recorded $4.1 million in other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 as our share of the completion and recourse guarantees. In determining the fair value of this investment, assessing whether any identified impairment was other-than-temporary, as well as estimating the liability for the completion and recourse guarantees, significant estimates were made and considerable judgment was involved. These estimates and judgments were based, in

19


Table of Contents

      part, on our current and future evaluation of economic conditions in general, as well as Bay Holdings' current and future plans. These impairment calculations contain additional uncertainties because they also require management to make assumptions and apply judgments to, among others, estimates of future cash flows, probabilities related to various cash flow scenarios, and appropriate discount rates. The impairment losses recorded by Bay Holdings required Bay Holdings' management to estimate total sales revenues that will be received by the project, as well as estimating the number of buyers of units from which nonrefundable deposits have been received that will not close on the purchase of their units.

    Our long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. These asset impairment loss analyses contain uncertainties because they require management to make assumptions and apply considerable judgments to, 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 costs of maintenance and improvements of the assets; thus, the accounting estimates may change from period to period. If management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur in future periods, our financial condition or future operating results could be materially impacted.

    Deferred development costs, principally predevelopment costs and offsite development costs related to various projects in the planning stages by our Real Estate segment, totaled $7.6 million at December 31, 2012. Based on our future development plans for the Kapalua Resort and other properties such as Pulelehua, and Hali`imaile Town, and the estimated value of these future projects, management has concluded that these deferred costs will be recoverable from future development projects. The volatility of this assumption arises because of the long-term nature of our development plans and the uncertainty of when or if certain parcels will be developed.

    Determining pension expense for our two defined benefit pension plans utilizes actuarial estimates of employees' age at retirement, retirees' life span, the long term rate of return on investments and other factors. In addition, pension expense is sensitive to the discount rate utilized. This rate should be commensurate with the interest rate yield of a high quality corporate fixed income investment portfolio. These assumptions are subject to the risk of change as they require significant judgment and have inherent uncertainties that management or its consulting actuaries may not control or anticipate. As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of the assets of our defined benefit plans totaled approximately $42.5 million, compared with $39.1 million as of December 31, 2011. The recorded net pension liability was approximately $30.3 million as of December 31, 2012 compared to a net pension liability of $27.6 million as of December 31, 2011. The $2.7 million increase in net pension liability during 2012 was mainly attributed to a decline in the discount rate used to determine our pension obligations.

    Stock-based compensation expense is calculated based on assumptions as to the expected life of the options, price volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected forfeitures. While management believes that the assumptions made are appropriate, current and future compensation expense could vary based on the assumptions used.

    Management calculates the income tax provision, current and deferred income taxes along with the valuation allowance based upon various complex estimates and interpretations of income tax laws and regulations. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. To the extent we begin to generate taxable income in future years, and it is determined the valuation allowance is no longer required, the tax benefit for the remaining deferred tax assets will be recognized at such time.

20


Table of Contents

      As of December 31, 2012, valuation allowances of $66.2 million have been established primarily for tax credits, net operating loss carry forwards, and accrued retirement benefits to reduce future tax benefits expected to be realized.

    Our results of operations could be affected by significant litigation or contingencies adverse to the Company, including, but not limited to, liability claims, environmental matters, and contract terminations. We record accruals for legal matters when the information available indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We make adjustments to these accruals to reflect the impact and status of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of counsel and other information and events that may pertain to a particular matter. Predicting the outcome of claims and lawsuits and estimating related costs and exposure involves substantial uncertainties that could cause actual costs to vary materially from those estimates. In making determinations of likely outcomes of litigation matters, we consider many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the nature of specific claims, our experience with similar types of claims, the jurisdiction in which the matter is filed, input from outside legal counsel, the likelihood of resolving the matter through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms and the matter's current status. A detailed discussion of significant litigation matters and contingencies is contained in Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this annual report.

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.
Lahaina, Hawaii

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements 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, 2012 and 2011, 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.

        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 concerning to these matters are also described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. 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 6).

LIQUIDITY

        The Company reported net loss of $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Included in net loss was a profit of $1,351,000 recognized from the sale of a real estate parcel in January 2012. The Company reported negative cash flows from operations of $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company had an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $9.8 million and a stockholders' deficiency of $34.4 million at December 31, 2012.

        The Company has two primary credit facilities that have financial covenants requiring among other things, a minimum of $4 million in liquidity (as defined), a maximum of $175 million in total liabilities, and a limitation on new indebtedness. The Company has pledged a significant portion of its real estate holdings as security for borrowings under these credit facilities. Both facilities were scheduled to mature in May 2013. In February 2013, the Company extended the maturity date of both credit facilities to May 1, 2014. The Company is required to make a mandatory principal repayment of $4.1 million by December 31, 2013 under the American AgCredit credit facility as required by the amendment.

        The Company's cash outlook for the next twelve months and its ability to continue to meet its loan covenants is highly dependent on selling certain real estate assets at acceptable prices. If the Company is unable to meet its loan covenants, borrowings under the Company's credit facilities may become immediately due, and 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), 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 Notes 3, 8 and 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 its real estate assets in leasing and other arrangements, by the sale of several real estate assets, and by continued cost reduction efforts. The Company is in active negotiations with the

lenders of the Residences at Kapalua Bay project to resolve its limited guarantees with respect to the completion of the project and purchase commitment for the Amenities.

        Comprehensive loss includes all changes in stockholders' deficiency, except those resulting from capital stock transactions. Comprehensive loss includes the pension benefit adjustment (Note 8).

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

        Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits in banks.

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.

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.

DEFERRED DEVELOPMENT COSTS

        Deferred development costs are primarily real estate development costs related to various projects at the Kapalua Resort that will be allocated to future development projects. Deferred 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 40 years. Depreciation expense was $2,889,000 and $3,719,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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. 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,

Table of Contents

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. The Company had impairment charges for its long-lived assets of $1.1 million in 2011. There were no impairment charges recorded in 2012.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

        The Company's policy is to fund pension costs 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, through comprehensive income. A pension asset or liability is recognized for the difference between the fair value of plan assets 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.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

        Real estate revenues are recognized 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 defined sales thresholds are 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

        Real estate, leasing, utilities, resort amenities, selling and marketing, and general and administrative costs and expenses are reflected exclusive of depreciation and pension and other post-retirement expenses.

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 and comprehensive loss. Advertising expenses in 2012 and 2011 were $39,000 and $340,000, 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 Standard 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 11).

        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; 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. See 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 February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and requires entities to present information about significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component either (1) on the face of the statement where net income is presented or (2) as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively, and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. 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 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.

2.     ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND REAL ESTATE SALES

        At December 31, 2012, assets held for sale included a 7-acre parcel in Kahului and a 630-acre parcel in Upcountry Maui.

        In January 2012, the Company sold an 89-acre parcel in Upcountry Maui for $1.5 million. The sale resulted in a gain of $1.4 million and the Company utilized $353,000 of the proceeds to repay its term loan with American AgCredit, in accordance with the terms of its credit agreement.

        In September 2010, the Company sold the land, improvements, structures and fixtures comprising the Kapalua Bay Golf Course (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 lease back arrangement and other continuing involvement, the sale was accounted for as a financing transaction.

Table of Contents

At the conclusion of the lease back period, the Company recognized a $15.1 million gain from the sale which has been reported in discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

3.     INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES

        The Company has a 51% ownership interest in Bay Holdings, which is the sole member of Kapalua Bay. The other members of Bay Holdings are MH Kapalua Venture, LLC, 34%, and ER Kapalua Investors Fund, LLC, 15%. 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 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.

        Kapalua Bay constructed a residential and timeshare 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 Kapalua Bay. Through December 31, 2012, 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 under which $285 million was outstanding at December 31, 2012, and that matured on August 1, 2011. 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. On March 13, 2012, the lenders notified Kapalua Bay that the loan was in default and on June 13, 2012, the lenders filed for foreclosure against Kapalua Bay, Bay Holdings and other entities related to the project. On September 27, 2012, Kapalua Bay was notified that three of its five lenders assigned their loans and other interests to a non-affiliated investment firm. The public auction for the foreclosure proceeding was held on December 3, 2012 and on January 31, 2013, the investment firm was confirmed as the successful bidder of Kapalua Bay's assets.

        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 statements of approximately $23 million related to the Amenities. In 2012 and 2011, loss from the operations of the Amenities was $566,000 and $432,000, respectively. The Company does not have sufficient liquidity to purchase the Amenities at the actual construction cost of approximately $35 million and is in active negotiations with lenders of the project to resolve its limited guarantees with respect to the completion of the project and purchase commitment for the Amenities. 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 and could result in a loss.

        A group of owners of 11 whole-ownership units filed a lawsuit on June 7, 2012 against multiple parties, including Kapalua Bay and the Company. The lawsuit alleges that the defendant parties breached their fiduciary duties to the Association of Apartment Owners of Kapalua Bay Condominium

32

(AOAO) and the plaintiffs. In addition, the lawsuit seeks certain injunctive and declaratory relief regarding the management and operations of the AOAO and the project. On December 31, 2012, The Ritz-Carlton Management Company, LLC (RCMC) terminated its management agreement with the AOAO and Kapalua Bay Vacation Owners Association (VOA). The AOAO and VOA entered into a management agreement with an entity controlled by Timbers Resorts effective January 1, 2013. The Company is presently unable to reasonably determine the impact, if any, of these matters on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

        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 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.

        The Company has recorded $4.1 million in accrued contract terminations in the consolidated balance sheets representing the remaining expected exposure to loss related to our involvement with the project.

        Summarized balance sheet and operating information for Bay Holdings as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the years then ended are as follows:

        During 2012, Bay Holdings recorded cancellations of contracts that will no longer be closed as scheduled. Bay Holdings has not recognized any impairment of the project's assets during 2012. As discussed above, the Company's carrying value of its investment in Bay Holdings was written down to zero in the past, and the Company does not recognize any equity in the losses of Bay Holdings. As a result, management does not believe an adjustment for impairment charges, if any, would have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements. On January 31, 2013, a non-affiliated investment company foreclosed on the assets of Bay Holdings. As a result, subsequent to January 31, 2013, there are no significant ongoing operations in this joint venture.

WELLS FARGO

        The Company has a $34.5 million revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo that was scheduled to mature on May 1, 2013. In February 2013, the Company exercised its option to extend the maturity date to May 1, 2014. Interest rates on borrowings are at LIBOR plus 3.8% and the line of credit is collateralized by approximately 880 acres of its 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, maximum total liabilities of $175 million, and a limitation on new indebtedness. The credit agreement includes predetermined release prices for the real property securing the credit facility. There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolving facility. Absent the sale of some of its real estate holdings or refinancing, the Company does not expect to be able to repay any significant amount of borrowings under the credit line.

        As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $25.2 million of borrowings outstanding under its revolving line of credit, $8.8 million available borrowing capacity and irrevocable letters of credit totaling $0.5 million that were secured by the line of credit.

AMERICAN AGCREDIT

        The Company has a $24.1 million term loan with American AgCredit that was scheduled to mature on May 1, 2013. In February 2013, the Company amended its term loan agreement to extend the maturity date to May 1, 2014. 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 a mandatory principal repayment of $4.1 million by December 31, 2013. The 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, maximum total liabilities of $175 million and a limitation on new indebtedness. It also requires mandatory principal repayments of 100% of the net proceeds of the sale of any real property pledged as collateral for the loan and tiered mandatory principal repayments based on predetermined percentages ranging from 10% to 75% of the net proceeds from the sale of non-collateralized real property. In accordance with this provision, the Company made a $353,000 principal repayment in January 2012, in conjunction with a sale of a non-collateralized real estate parcel in Upcountry Maui for $1.5 million. The loan is collateralized by approximately 3,100 acres of the Company's real estate holdings in West Maui and Upcountry Maui. Absent the sale of some of its real estate holdings or refinancing, the Company does not expect to be able to pay the outstanding balance under the term loan on the maturity date.

        As of December 31, 2012, the Company believes it is in compliance with the covenants under the Wells Fargo and American AgCredit credit facilities.

5.     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 financial assets and liabilities 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.

        The fair value of cash, receivables and payables approximate their carrying value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The valuation is based on settlements of similar financial instruments all of which are short-term in nature and are generally settled at or near cost. The fair value of debt was estimated based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities. The carrying amount of debt at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $49,268,000 and $45,521,000, respectively, which approximated fair value. The fair value of cash and debt has been classified as level 1 and level 2 measurements, respectively. See Note 8 for the classification of the fair value of pension assets.

6.     DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

        In September 2011, the Company ceased all retail operations at the Kapalua Resort. In March 2011, the Company ceased operating the two championship golf courses at the Kapalua Resort. In December 2009, the Company ceased all agriculture operations. Accordingly, the operating results including any gains or losses from the disposal of assets related to these former operations have been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

7.     LEASING ARRANGEMENTS

LESSEE

        The Company has various operating leases which expire in 2013 and 2014. Total rental expense under operating leases was $18,000 in 2012 and $286,000 in 2011. Future minimum rental payments due under operating leases total $23,000 in 2013, $3,000 in 2014, $3,000 in 2015, and $2,000 in 2016.

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 cases, percentage rentals based on tenant revenues. In addition, the leases generally provide for reimbursement of common area maintenance and other expenses. Total rental income under these operating leases was as follows:

 
  2012   2011  
 
  (in thousands)
 

Minimum rentals

  $ 2,639   $ 2,397  

Percentage rentals

    1,182     1,603  

Other (primarily common area recoveries)

    1,985     1,144  
           

  $ 5,806   $ 5,144  
           

        Property at December 31, 2012 and 2011 includes leased property, primarily buildings, of $46,778,000 and $47,381,000, respectively (before accumulated depreciation of $19,915,000 and $18,417,000, respectively). Management determined that the amounts previously disclosed for leased property and the related accumulated depreciation as of December 31, 2011 were understated by $18,108,000 and $8,118,000, respectively; accordingly, such amounts for 2011 have been corrected in the previous sentence. This had no impact on the previously reported amounts in the 2011 consolidated balance sheet or consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

        Future minimum rental income receivable during the next five years is as follows:

8.     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 expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was based on a building-block approach. Historical markets are studied and long-term historical relationships between equities and fixed income are preserved consistent with the widely accepted capital market principle that assets with higher volatility generate a greater return over the long run. Current market factors, such as inflation and interest rates, are evaluated before long-term capital markets are determined. Diversification and rebalancing of the plan assets are properly considered as part of establishing the long-term portfolio returns.

        The Company's cessation of its pineapple operations at the end of 2009 and the corresponding reduction in the active participant count for the Pension Plan for Bargaining Unit and Hourly Employees (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 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 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. In November 2012, the Company executed a settlement agreement with the PBGC and pledged security of approximately 7,000 acres in West Maui that will be released in five years if the Company does not otherwise default on the agreement.

        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 2012 or 2011.

        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 was being accrued over the period of active employment. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, deferred compensation plan liabilities totaled $512,000 and $697,000, respectively.

9.     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 $489,000 and $646,000 for 2012 and 2011, 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 3.2% and 3.5%, for 2012 and 2011, respectively. Estimated forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances. In February 2012, executive officers and management were awarded an incentive bonus of $150,300 based on meeting certain performance metrics included in the Executive and Key Management Compensation Plan. In accordance with the plan, the incentive award was settled through the issuance of 39,294 shares of common stock.

    Stock Options

        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

In 2011, 120,304 restricted shares that vest as service requirements are met were granted to management employees and the Company's Board of Directors, and 92,289 shares of restricted stock vested as directors' and management service requirements were met. All restricted shares granted in 2012 and 2011 were granted under the 2006 Plan. The weighted average grant-date fair value of restricted stock granted during 2012 and 2011 was $3.54 and $5.37 per share, respectively.

10.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        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 65% shareholder of the Company as of February 2013, 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.

11.   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 2012, tax liability on uncertain tax positions was reduced by $378,000 because of expiration of statutes of limitations and a proposed IRS settlement. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, total accrued interest for uncertain income tax positions was $899,000 and $830,000, respectively.

        The Company recognizes accrued interest 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

  $ 248   $ 626  
           

        At December 31, 2012 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, 2012 and 2011, there were $144,000 and $232,000 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 $109.9 million in federal net operating loss carry forwards at December 31, 2012, that expire from 2028 through 2032. Net operating loss for state income tax purposes that expire from 2028 through 2031 totaled $125.5 million at December 31, 2012. The Company's federal income tax returns for 2005 through 2008 are currently under examination and the Internal Revenue Service has proposed approximately $11.6 million of additional taxable income. The Company has sufficient net operating loss carry forwards to offset the proposed additional taxable income.

12.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

        The Company's presentation of its reportable operating segments is consistent with how the Company's chief operating decision maker determines the allocation of resources. Reportable segments are as follows:

    Real Estate includes the development and sale of real estate inventory and the operations of Kapalua Realty Company, a general brokerage real estate company located within the Kapalua Resort.

    Leasing primarily includes revenues and expense from real property leasing activities, license fees and royalties for the use of certain of the Company's trademarks and brand names by third

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 as of December 31, 2012 has recorded a liability of $105,000. 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 statements of approximately $23 million related to the Amenities. In 2012 and 2011, loss from the operations of the Amenities was $566,000 and $432,000, respectively. The Company does not have sufficient liquidity to purchase the Amenities at the actual construction cost of approximately $35 million and has been in discussions 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 and could result in a loss.

        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, 2012, the Company has recognized the fair value of its obligations under these agreements (Note 3).

        On June 7, 2012, a group of owners of 11 whole-ownership units at the Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, Kapalua Bay filed a lawsuit against multiple parties including the Company. 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.

        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 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.

        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.

Item 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2012. 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, 2012, 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:

    Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

    Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

    Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

        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, 2012. 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, 2012, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

        In February 2012, management completed the implementation of a new accounting and financial reporting software system. The new accounting and financial reporting system is a significant component of internal control over financial reporting. Management believes that it has taken the necessary steps to monitor and maintain appropriate internal controls during the implementation process.
