Effective January 1, 2008, the Company changed its method of accounting for pineapple juice inventory from the Last-In, First-Out ("LIFO") method to the First-In, First-Out ("FIFO") method, which is the method used for fresh pineapple fruit inventory. The Company did not apply the accounting change to its previous inventories of processed solid-pack pineapple products, as the Company ceased all processing and canning of solid-pack pineapple products in 2007 and had no inventory as of January 1, 2008. The Company expects that a single method of accounting for both fresh fruit and processed juice will improve the clarity of the Company's financial results by more clearly reflecting periodic income. The Company believes the FIFO method is preferable to the LIFO method because it 1) provides better matching of inventory costs to revenues, 2) eliminates the non-cash earnings that have resulted from past LIFO liquidations and from future liquidations that are likely to occur, 3) better reflects the physical flow of inventories, and 4) more closely reflects the current cost of inventories on the Company's consolidated balance

sheet. The effect of the accounting change would not have been material to the Company's previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements for quarterly periods during 2007, or to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. As a result, the Company has not made any adjustments to reflect a retrospective application to its prior financial statements; rather the Company recorded the cumulative effect of this change of $326,000 (net of income taxes of $191,000) as an increase to retained earnings as of January 1, 2008, with associated increases in inventory and deferred tax liabilities.
For comparability purposes, the Company's net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, would have been approximately $17,000 higher (no change to earnings per share), and its net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 would have been approximately $232,000 lower ($0.03 per diluted share), if the Company's pineapple juice inventories were accounted for under the LIFO method.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008, potentially dilutive common shares of 67,954 and 47,970, respectively, from stock-based compensation are not included in the number of diluted common shares because to do so would have an antidilutive effect on the earnings (loss) per share amounts (i.e., decrease loss per common share).
As of January 1, 2008, the Company and its equity method investee, Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC (see Note 9) adopted the provisions of the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB ("EITF") Issue No. 06-8, Applicability of the Assessment of a Buyer's Continuing Investment under FASB Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate ("SFAS No. 66"), for Sales of Condominiums ("EITF 06-8"). EITF 06-8 requires condominium sales to meet the continuing investment criterion in SFAS No. 66 in order for profit to be recognized under the percentage-of-completion method. For sales through 2007 that do not meet the continuing investment criteria in SFAS No. 66, EITF 06-8 requires that such transactions be accounted for using the deposit method with profits being deferred until the sales qualify for percentage-of-completion, or full accrual accounting in later periods. The cumulative effect for the Company of applying EITF 06-8, was $4,622,000 (net of income tax effect) and is reported as a charge to retained earnings as of January 1, 2008.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why derivative instruments are used; (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as amended; and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162 identifies a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S.
8
generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of SFAS No. 162 is not expected to have any effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The Company's equity in the income of Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC ("Bay Holdings") was $21.4 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $12.0 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Upon formation of Bay Holdings in 2004, the Company's non-monetary contributions to Bay Holdings, including a 21-acre land parcel, were valued at $25 million by the members through arms-length negotiations. The land contribution was recorded by the Company in its investment carrying value in Bay Holdings at historical cost, which was nominal, and Bay Holdings recorded the contribution at its fair value of $25 million. In 2007, Bay Holdings began to recognize profit from binding sales contracts on the whole and fractional ownership condominiums on the percentage-of-completion method. Accordingly, in 2007, the Company began to recognize a proportionate amount of the unrealized appreciation of the fair value of the land and other non-monetary contributions and other deferred costs related to the joint venture. At June 30, 2008, the six residential buildings in the project were approximately 29% to 86% complete.
As of January 1, 2008, Bay Holdings adopted EITF 06-8. The cumulative effect of adopting EITF 06-8 of $12.5 million was recorded as a reduction to Bay Holdings' January 1, 2008 retained earnings, and the Company recorded its proportionate share of this adjustment to its opening retained earnings for 2008 (see Note 8).
In July 2006, Bay Holdings entered into a Construction Loan Agreement with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman") for the lesser of $370 million or 61.6% of the total projected cost of the project. Disbursements under the loan agreement are contingent upon, among other things, no event of default or material adverse change occurring with respect to Bay Holdings or its project. The loan is not revolving in nature and amounts repaid may not be subsequently advanced. All loan proceeds disbursed shall be used only for specified budgeted items for which such proceeds were advanced. Lehman was not obligated to make loan advances exceeding $85 million until sales of residential units equaled or exceeded $285.0 million. In the first quarter of 2008, Bay Holdings achieved the binding sales commitment threshold and the remaining loan funds were released, subject to the provisions of the loan agreement, which require that Bay Holdings' equity cannot fall below approximately 38% of the total project cost and that any change orders will be funded by members' equity.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company made cash contributions of $7.8 million to Bay Holdings.

On March 28, 2007, the Company sold the land underlying the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel to W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings, L.L.C. (the "Hotel JV"), which owned the hotel and was the lessee under the long-term ground lease with the Company. Approximately 49 acres, with a nominal cost basis, were sold for $25 million in cash at closing and for a 21.4% interest in the Hotel JV, and the Company recognized a gain of $24.8 million on the partial sale of the land. In January 2008, the Company chose to not fund its portion of a cash call totaling $2.6 million, which resulted in a dilution of its interest in the Hotel JV to approximately 16%.
Certain dilution provisions provide that should the Company choose not to fund additional cash calls, if any, its interest will be reduced by the aggregate amount of the increase in the percentage interests of all contributing members, but in no event shall the Company's percentage interest be reduced below 10%.
In July 2007, the hotel closed for a major renovation and conversion of 250 hotel rooms into 107 condominium units. The hotel reopened in December 2007 and, in March 2008, the Hotel JV began selling the residential suite condominiums.
The total compensation expense recognized for stock-based compensation was $1,242,000 and $2,862,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $604,000 and $811,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The total tax benefit related thereto was $447,000 and $757,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $217,000 and $328,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Recognized stock compensation was reduced for estimated forfeitures prior to vesting primarily based on historical annual forfeiture rates of approximately 5.4% and 5.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Estimated forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances.

During 2008, the Company expects to contribute $1.1 million to its defined benefit pension plans and $776,000 to its other post-retirement benefit plans.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, on January 1, 2008 and there was no material impact to the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 157 applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 157 requires new disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement enables 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. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
In January 2008, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to reduce future cash flow variability for approximately two years on $55 million of variable rate debt. The effect of the agreements is to convert variable-rate interest, which was previously tied to 1-, 2-, 3- and 6-month LIBOR terms, to fixed-rate interest of approximately 4.4% based on a 2-year fixed
12
LIBOR rate. The transactions were not designated as hedges under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and accordingly, the gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value from these interest rate swaps are recognized currently in interest expense. The fair value of the derivatives at June 30, 2008 was $0.3 million, which represents the estimated amount the Company would receive to terminate the swap agreements and is included in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The valuations of the derivative instruments have been classified as Level 2 fair value measurements as defined in SFAS No. 157.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48") on January 1, 2007 resulting in a $200,000 charge to retained earnings as of that date. 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. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties in general administrative expense in its statement of operations, and such amounts are included in income taxes payable on the Company's balance sheet.
At June 30, 2008, the Company had a liability of $506,000 for unrecognized tax benefits and interest thereon of $415,000. At June 30, 2008, $4.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits represent taxes on revenues for which the timing of the taxability is uncertain and the liability for such taxes has been recognized as deferred tax liabilities. The acceleration of the recognition of such income would not affect the estimated annual effective tax rate, but would accelerate the payment of income taxes to earlier periods and would result in additional interest expense.

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 cost 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 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 the liability (if any).
The Company's required payments to the Ladies Professional Golf Association for the purse and other fees for the tournament to be held at the Kapalua Bay Course in October 2008 have been secured by a $1.7 million irrevocable standby letter of credit on account of the Company.
The Company is obligated to purchase the spa, beach club improvements and the sundry store from Bay Holdings at actual construction cost upon completion, which is currently estimated to be in mid-2009. The cost of the facilities is currently estimated to be approximately $31 million.
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 consolidated financial statements.
The Company, as an investor in various affiliates (partnerships, limited liability companies), may under specific circumstances be called upon to make additional capital contributions.
At June 30, 2008, the Company had commitments under signed contracts totaling $10.6 million, which primarily relate to real estate development projects.
In June 2007, the Company ceased substantially all canning and processing of solid-pack pineapple products and recorded net charges totaling $5.4 million consisting principally of net losses on the disposition of assets, the loss on a long-term purchase supply contract and employee severance expense.
On July 25, 2008, the Company announced plans to reduce the size of its workforce by approximately 274 positions or about 25%. The reduction will be accomplished by consolidating certain departments and functions, and by down-sizing the Company's pineapple operations by approximately 204 positions. The decision was made in response to the weak economy, the rising cost of energy and the high consumption of cash and operating losses of the pineapple operations.
The Company estimates that severance and other transition charges for the pineapple and other operations will be approximately $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2008. The Company is continuing to evaluate the cost of the planned change in pineapple operations and expects to incur additional costs in 2008.
On July 28, 2008, the Company issued $40 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes. The proceeds from this financing were used to re-pay $28,000,000 of debt under the Company's revolving lines of credit with interest rates that floated with the prime rate (currently 5%) and a $9.7 million, 6.93% fixed rate term loan that matured through 2026. The convertible notes bear interest at 5.875% per annum. At the option of the holders of the notes, the notes are convertible into Common Stock. The initial conversion price is $33.50 per share, subject to reset on the date that is 18 months following closing, but not below $30.00 per share. The conversion price is also subject to other customary adjustments. The Company has certain mandatory conversion rights after July 28, 2010. The convertible debt is secured by specified assets of the Company.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Depending upon the context, the terms the "Company," "we," "our," and "us," refers to either Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. alone, or the Company and its subsidiaries.
Overview of the Company
Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. is a Hawaii corporation and the successor to a business organized in 1909. We operate as a landholding and operating parent company for our principal subsidiaries, including Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd., a producer and marketer of Maui-grown pineapple, and Kapalua Land Company, Ltd., the operator of Kapalua Resort, a master-planned community in West Maui. Our reportable operating segments are Agriculture, Resort and Community Development.
Agriculture
The Agriculture segment primarily includes growing, packing, and marketing of fresh pineapple. Our pineapple is sold under the brand names Maui Gold® and Hawaiian Gold. We also grow and market fresh organic pineapple. In 2007, a portion of our business included processing (canning) pineapple; however, we ceased substantially all canning and processing of solid-pack product in June 2007.
The fresh fruit market is a year-round business, which requires consistency of supply. Over the past several years, we have made significant progress in changing our agronomic practices and planting schedules to produce a more consistent and predictable supply of fruit throughout the year. In addition, we have made significant progress in implementing improved crop maintenance and agronomic practices that we believe will improve our plant yields (tons of fruit per acre) and fruit quality.
Resort
The Kapalua Resort is part of approximately 22,000 contiguous acres owned by us in West Maui, most of which remains as open space. The Kapalua Resort borders the ocean with five white sand beaches and includes The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel, the Ritz-Carlton Residences at Kapalua Bay, eight residential subdivisions, two championship golf courses (The Bay and The Plantation), a ten-court tennis facility, the first phase of commercial space in the central area of the Kapalua Resort, several restaurants, and over 800 condominiums, single-family homes and residential lots. We operate Kapalua Resort's two golf courses, the tennis facility, several retail shops, a vacation rental program (the "Kapalua Villas"), and provide certain services to the Kapalua Resort. We currently have approximately 227 units in our Kapalua Villas vacation rental program. In late December 2007, our new Kapalua Adventure Center opened and in January 2008, our Mountain Outpost began operations. The Adventure Center is located in the former Village Clubhouse and includes a retail area featuring outdoor clothing and gear, a café and is the check-in point for the Mountain Outpost, which is comprised of zip-lines stretching over scenic ravines in the West Maui mountains, a high ropes challenge course, a climbing wall and other activities.
Community Development
The Community Development segment includes our real estate entitlement, development, construction, sales, leasing, and conservation activities. Our projects are focused primarily on the luxury real estate market in and surrounding the Kapalua Resort and affordable and moderately priced
15
residential and mixed use projects in West Maui and Upcountry Maui. This segment also includes the operations of Kapalua Realty Company, our general brokerage real estate company located within the Resort, and our Public Utilities Commission regulated water and sewage operations that service the Kapalua Resort and adjacent communities.
The Community Development segment also includes the management of several leases, including the ground lease underlying The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua (through March 28, 2007). On March 28, 2007, we sold the land underlying the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel to W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings LLC, (the "Hotel JV") the lessee under the ground lease for $25 million in cash at closing and a 21.4% interest in the Hotel JV (see Note 10 to condensed consolidated financial statements). The Community Development segment also includes our 51% equity interest in Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC, the limited liability company that purchased the Kapalua Bay Hotel in August 2004 (see Note 9 to condensed consolidated financial statements). Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC demolished the Kapalua Bay Hotel and the adjacent shops in order to develop new whole and fractional residential units, an ocean-side spa, and a beach club at that location. As of June 30, 2008, the percentage completion of the six residential buildings ranged from approximately 29% to 86%.
We have approximately 1,800 acres of land in Maui that are at various stages in the land entitlement process. We must obtain appropriate entitlements for land that we intend to develop or use for construction. Securing proper land entitlement is a process that requires obtaining county, state and federal approvals, which can take several years to complete and entails a variety of risks.
The
Community Development segment is working on a number of real estate development projects, some of which are as follows:
Current Developments
In the second quarter of 2008, all of our business segments were negatively affected by the rising price of energy, recent airline closures and continuing stress in the financial markets. Real estate sales have slowed considerably; and while a sizable portion of our guests at Kapalua Resort are at the higher end of the visitor market and thus less affected by general economic conditions, Kapalua Resort was impacted by the reduced visitor counts to Maui and to the State of Hawaii. In our pineapple
16
operations, rapidly rising energy prices affected the cost of fertilizers, packaging and other materials, and the cost of transporting fruit to markets, and fruit, equipment and employees between our locations. In May 2008, we launched an initiative to identify savings through elimination of redundancies and through structural changes to gain efficiencies that will help us to thrive in this new economic environment. Pursuant to this initiative and the change in our pineapple operations as discussed in Note 17 above, on July 25, 2008, we began to restructure our businesses and announced the reduction of 274 positions.
Some
of our other second quarter of 2008 significant transactions and events included the following:
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of accounting estimates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Our critical accounting policies that require the use of estimates and assumptions were discussed in detail in our most recently filed Form 10-K and have not changed materially from that discussion.
There are no accounting pronouncements or interpretations that have been issued but not yet applied by us that we believe will have a material impact on our financial statements.

We reported net income of $272,000 ($.03 per share) for the second quarter of 2008 compared to a net loss of $3.5 million ($.44 per share) for the second quarter of 2007. Consolidated revenues for the
17
second quarter of 2008 were $17.6 million compared to $38.7 million for the second quarter of 2007. Increased income from our equity in Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC in the second quarter of 2008 more than offset lower results from the sale of real estate, and from our Agriculture and Resort segments. The second quarter of 2007 also included $5.4 million of direct restructuring charges related to our pineapple operations.
General and Administrative
Consolidated general and administrative expenses of $8.2 million for the second quarter of 2008 were approximately equal to the second quarter of 2007.
The major components of the difference in general and administrative expenses were as follows:

The decrease in salaries & wages in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007 is due to a reduction in the number of employees in the Agriculture segment and corporate services; and decreased incentive expense in 2008 reflects accruals that are based on attaining specific financial and other measures.
The increase in professional services in the second quarter of 2008 reflects strategic planning and public relations initiatives in 2008.
Loss on asset disposal for the second quarter of 2008 was primarily due to the write-off of excess equipment at Kapalua Resort.
Other includes insurance, pensions and other fringe benefits, charitable contributions, etc.
General and administrative expenses are incurred at the corporate level and at the operating segment level. All general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level are allocated to our operating segments. Such allocations are made on the basis of our management's evaluation of service provided to the operating segments.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $550,000 for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $333,000 for the second quarter of 2007. Interest incurred in the second quarter of 2008 was $608,000, of which $58,000 was capitalized to construction projects. In the second quarter of 2007, interest incurred was $763,000, of which $430,000 was capitalized to construction projects. Interest expense for the second quarter of 2008 includes a credit of $860,000 representing the change in the estimated fair value of the swap agreements entered into in January 2008 (see Note 13 to condensed consolidated financial statements). Higher interest expense in 2008 also reflects increased average borrowings in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007. Our effective interest rate on borrowings was 5.0% in the second quarter of 2008 compared to 7.9% in the second quarter of 2007.

Revenues for the Agriculture segment decreased by 60%, or $7.9 million, from $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2007 to $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2008, primarily due to a decrease in processed fruit sales. In the second quarter of 2007, processed fruit sales comprised approximately 39% of total revenues from the Agriculture segment. In the second quarter of 2008, processed pineapple sales are comprised of juice sales only. The Agriculture segment produced an operating loss of $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to an operating loss of $10.6 million for the second quarter of 2007.
During 2007, we ceased all production of processed pineapple except for juice products. With the cessation of solid- packed canned products, we have focused our business on the sale of fresh premium pineapple. The operating loss for the second quarter of 2007 includes $5.4 million of direct charges related to the restructuring of our pineapple operations. Continued operating losses in 2008 reflect issues at our fresh fruit packing facility and weather-related problems that affected the quality of our fresh product as well as increased costs of operations.
Fresh Pineapple Operations
The case volume of fresh pineapple sales was lower by 44% for the second quarter of 2008 and revenue per case sold was lower by 2% in 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007. Lower case sales volume and pricing in the second quarter of 2008 were due to delayed ripening of the fruit and product quality issues that resulted in the disposal of significant quantities of product.
The Agriculture segment cost of sales was lower by approximately 53% in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007, largely as a result of the lower sales volume of fresh and processed product, partially offset by increased per unit cost of sales. Per unit cost of sales increased in 2008 because all fruit growing costs are now allocated to the fresh fruit product line, because of lower production volumes and fixed costs, and due to disposal of fruit as a result of quality problems. Juice is accounted for as a by-product and the cost of the product includes the additional direct factory cost of processing fruit that is not suitable to be sold as fresh fruit product into juice.
Shipping and marketing cost decreased by 51% in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007 primarily because of lower volume of sales, partially offset by higher average per unit shipping cost. Average shipping cost increased in 2008 because it was necessary to ship more products by air freight rather than by ocean transportation to compensate for the delayed ripening of fruit.

Resort segment revenues decreased by 8% or $0.7 million, from $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2007 to $8.2 million for the second quarter of 2008. The Resort segment reported an operating loss of $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to an operating loss of $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2007. Increased operating and marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2008, in particular for our new Mountain Outpost and Adventure Center activities, and reduced visitor arrivals and occupancy at the Resort were the primary reasons for the increased operating loss compared to the second quarter of 2007.
Golf, Retail and Villas
Revenues from golf operations decreased by approximately 25% in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007 as a result of a decrease in paid rounds of golf, which was partially offset by an approximately 3% increase in average green and cart fees. Revenues from the Kapalua Villas were also less in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007 reflecting a 22% decrease in occupied rooms and a 6% lower average room rate. There were approximately 6% fewer rooms available in the second quarter of 2008 partially reflecting units under renovation under our Kapalua Gold program to upgrade and standardize the units in our rental program. Resort retail sales for the second quarter of 2008 were approximately 5% higher than the second quarter of 2007.

The Community Development segment reported an operating profit of $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $8.1 million for the second quarter of 2007. Revenues from this operating segment were $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $16.1 million for the second quarter of 2007. The reduction in revenues reflect lower revenues from real estate sales in the second quarter of 2008, while the increased operating profit reflect increased income from Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC.
Operating profit includes our equity in the income of Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC, which was $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2007. In 2007, the joint venture began to recognize revenues and profits on the percentage-of-completion method from sale of the whole and fractional residential condominiums. The percentage of completion of the six residential buildings in this project ranged from 29% to 86% as of the end of June 2008. In connection with profit recognition under the percentage-of-completion method, we began to recognize a proportionate amount of the unrealized appreciation of the fair value of the land and other
20
non-monetary contributions to Bay Holdings and other deferred costs related to the joint venture. See Note 9 to condensed consolidated financial statements.
Real Estate Sales
In the second quarter of 2008, we sold approximately 59 acres of Upcountry Maui land that was considered non-core to our operations and recognized revenues of $1.8 million and pre-tax profit of approximately $1.7 million. In the second quarter of 2007, we sold approximately 181 acres of non-core land in Upcountry Maui and recognized revenues and pre-tax profit of approximately $2.8 million.
Our Honolua Ridge Phase II subdivision consists of 25 agricultural-zoned lots, which began selling in August 2005. Through the end of 2007, 24 lot sales have closed escrow and the last lot remains in inventory at the end of the second quarter of 2008. We account for revenues and profit from this project on a percentage-of-completion method and the construction of the infrastructure improvement for this project was substantially complete in November of 2006. In the second quarter of 2007, five lot sales closed escrow and we recognized revenues of $9.9 million.

We reported a net loss of $468,000 ($.06 per share) for the first six months of 2008 compared to net income of $12.2 million ($1.59 per share) for the same period in 2007. Consolidated revenues for the first six months of 2008 were $42.9 million compared to $99.7 million for the first six months of 2007. Lower revenues primarily reflect a reduction in real estate sales in 2008 and cessation of the sale of solid-pack pineapple products in the second half of 2007. Increased income from our equity interest in Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC partially offset lower revenues and operating profit from our business segments.
General and Administrative
Consolidated general and administrative expenses decreased by 8%, or $1.5 million to $18.4 million for the first six months of 2008 from $19.9 million for the first six months of 2007.
The major components of the difference in general and administrative expenses were as follows:

General and administrative salaries & wages were lower in the first six months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 due to a reduction in the number of employees in the Agriculture segment and in corporate services.
The decrease in employee incentives and stock compensation was primarily due to restricted stock vesting in 2007 for certain officers and a payment in 2007 of $1.1 million to David C. Cole, our Chairman, President & CEO because of an amendment to Mr. Cole's stock option agreement with the Company that reduced the value of the stock options. The stock option agreement was amended to eliminate adverse tax consequences to our Chairman imposed by section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
The decrease in professional services primarily reflects increased work performed by our staff that was previously contracted to outside consultants and reduced requirements with regard to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 404 in the first six months of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007.
Loss on asset disposals primarily includes assets from the Agriculture segment related to the continuing restructuring of that business and the write-off of excess equipment at Kapalua Resort.
Other includes insurance, pensions and other benefits, charitable contributions, etc.
General and administrative expenses are incurred at the corporate level and at the operating segment level. All general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level are allocated to the operating segments. Such allocations are consistent with our management's evaluation of services provided to the operating segments.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $1.9 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $1.0 million for the first six months of 2007. Interest incurred in the first six months of 2008 was $2.2 million of which $258,000 was capitalized to construction projects. In the first six months of 2007, interest incurred was $1.8 million of which $792,000 was capitalized to construction projects. Interest expense for the first six months of 2008 includes a credit of $339,000 representing the change in the estimated fair value of the swap agreements entered into in January 2008 (see Note 13 to condensed consolidated financial statements). Our effective interest rate on borrowings was 5.2% for the first six months of 2008 compared to 7.8% for the first six months of 2007. The increase in interest expense was due primarily to higher average borrowings in the first six months of 2008.

The Agriculture segment produced an operating loss of $10.2 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to an operating loss of $13.0 million for the first six months of 2007. Revenues for the first six months of 2008 were $13.7 million or 49% lower than the first six months of 2007, primarily due to a reduction in sales of processed products. In the first six months of 2007, processed pineapple sales comprised approximately 46% of total revenues from the Agriculture segment. Effective as of June 30, 2007, we ceased the production of substantially all solid-packed pineapple products (see Note 17 to condensed consolidated financial statements). Therefore, in the first six months of 2008, processed pineapple sales are comprised solely of juice sales.
22
The operating loss for the first six months of 2007 includes approximately $5.4 million of direct charges related to the restructuring of our pineapple operations. Continued operating losses in 2008 reflect issues at our fresh fruit packing facility and weather-related problems that affected the quality of our fresh product as well as increased our cost of operations.
Fresh and Processed Operations
The case volume of fresh pineapple sales decreased by approximately 8% in the first six months of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007, and revenue per case was lower by approximately 9% in the first six months of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007. Lower case sales volume and pricing in 2008 were due to delayed ripening of the fruit and product quality issues that prevented us from achieving optimum pricing and resulted in the disposal of significant volume of product.
The Agriculture segment cost of sales was lower by approximately 38% in the first six months of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007, largely as a result of the lower sales volume of fresh and processed product, partially offset by increased per unit cost of sales. Per unit cost of sales increased in 2008 because all fruit growing costs are now allocated to the fresh fruit product line, because of lower production volumes and fixed costs, and due to disposal of fruit as a result of quality problems. Juice is accounted for as a by-product and the cost of the product includes the additional direct factory cost of processing fruit that is not suitable to be sold as fresh fruit product into juice.
Shipping and marketing cost decreased by 27% in the first six months of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007 primarily because of lower volume of sales, partially offset by higher average per unit shipping cost. Average shipping cost increased in 2008 because it was necessary to ship more products by air freight rather than by ocean transportation to compensate for the delayed ripening of fruit.

The Resort segment reported an operating loss of $7.4 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to an operating loss of $3.7 million for the first six months of 2007. Resort segment revenues were $19.9 million or 3% lower for the first six months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. A reduction in rounds of golf primarily because of the closure of the Village Course at the end of February 2007, and operating and marketing expense for our new Mountain Outpost and Adventure Center activities in 2008 were largely responsible for the increased operating loss.
Golf, Retail and Villas
Revenues from golf operations decreased by approximately 20% in the first six months of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007 as a result of a decrease in paid rounds of golf, which was partially offset by an approximately 8% increase in average green and cart fees. Revenues from the Kapalua Villas were also less in the first six months of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007 reflecting an 8% decrease in occupied rooms, partially offset by 3% increase in average room rate. There were approximately 6% fewer rooms available in the first six months of 2008 partially reflecting units under renovation under our Kapalua Gold program to upgrade and standardize the units in our rental program. Resort retail sales for the first six months of 2008 were approximately 3% higher than the same period in 2007.

The Community Development segment reported an operating profit of $19.1 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $37.2 million for the first six months of 2007. Revenues from this operating segment decreased by $43.0 million to $8.3 million for the first half of 2008 compared to $51.3 million for the first half of 2007. The reduction in revenues primarily reflects our sale of the land underlying the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel in March 2007 (see Note 10 to condensed consolidated financial statements).
Our equity in the income of Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC was $21.4 million in the first six months of 2008 compared to $4.1 million in the first six months of 2007. In 2007, the joint venture began to recognize revenues and profits on a percentage-of-completion method from the sales of whole and fractional residential condominiums. Accordingly, in 2007, the Company began to recognize a proportionate amount of the unrealized appreciation of the fair value of the land and other non-monetary contributions to Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC and other deferred costs related to the joint venture. See Note 9 to condensed consolidated financial statements.
Real Estate Sales
In the first six months of 2008, we sold approximately 111 acres of Upcountry Maui land that was considered non-core to our operations and recognized revenues of $4.4 million and pre-tax profit of approximately $4.1 million. In the first six months of 2007, we sold approximately 338 acres of non-core Upcountry Maui property in two land sales transactions and recognized revenues and pre-tax gains of approximately $6.8 million from those land sales. In addition, in March 2007 we sold the approximately 49 acres of land underlying the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel and recognized a pre-tax gain of $24.8 million (see Note 10 to condensed consolidated financial statements).
Our Honolua Ridge Phase II subdivision consists of 25 agricultural-zoned lots, which began selling in August 2005. Through the end of 2007, 24 lot sales have closed escrow and the last lot remains in inventory at June 30, 2008. We account for revenues and profit from this project on a percentage-of-completion method and the construction of the infrastructure improvement for this project was substantially complete in November of 2006. In the first six months of 2007, seven lot sales closed escrow and we recognized revenues of $14.7 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Debt Position
At June 30, 2008, our total debt, including capital leases, was $105.5 million, compared to $61.7 million at December 31, 2007. The increase in outstanding debt in the first six months of 2008 was due primarily to negative cash flows from operating activities, our equity contribution to Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC and expenditures for capital projects at the Kapalua Resort. At June 30, 2008, we had available credit lines of $30 million.
On July 28, 2008, we issued $40 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes. The proceeds from this financing were used to re-pay $28,000,000 of debt under our revolving lines of credit with interest rates that floated with the prime rate (currently 5%) and a $9.7 million, 6.93% fixed rate term loan that matured through 2026. The convertible notes bear interest
24
at 5.875% per annum. At the option of the holders of the notes, the notes are convertible into Common Stock. The initial conversion price is $33.50 per share, subject to reset on the date that is 18 months following closing, but not below $30.00 per share. The conversion price is also subject to other customary adjustments. We have certain mandatory conversion rights after July 28, 2010. The convertible debt is secured by specified assets.
In January 2008, we entered into a fixed-interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo, the effect of which was to convert variable-rate interest expense, which was previously tied to 1-, 2-, 3- and 6-month LIBOR terms, to fixed-rate interest expense based on a 2-year fixed LIBOR rate. The interest rate swap enabled us to lock-in an average interest rate of 4.4% for approximately two years on $55.0 million of outstanding variable rate, revolving balances.
Operating Cash Flows
In the first six months of 2008, consolidated net cash used in operating activities was $25.7 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $8.1 million for the first six months of 2007. By operating segment, these cash flows were approximately as follows:

Cash used in operating activities in the first six months of 2008 largely reflect (1) operating losses from the Agriculture and Resort segments, (2) non-cash profit from our equity interest in Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC, and (3) operating profit from non-core land sales that are reported as investing activities (also see Real Estate Sales Proceeds below).
Cash flows from operating activities of the Community Development segment vary significantly with the amount of new real estate product sold and the amount of construction activity for real estate inventories. While there was a significant amount of new real estate product for sale at Kapalua Resort through our joint venture investees, we did not have any new product for sale except for one Honolua Ridge Phase II lot that remained in inventory since the end of 2007.
In the first six months of 2007, the closing of Honolua Ridge Phase II lot sales and the collection on purchase money mortgages resulted in cash flows from operating activities of approximately $19.8 million.
Real Estate Sales Proceeds
In the first six months of 2008, we sold approximately 111 acres of Upcountry Maui land that were considered non-core to our business, which resulted in net sales proceeds of $4.4 million including a short-term promissory note for $1.0 million. Cash proceeds of $2.5 million from these sales remained on deposit with a qualified exchange intermediary at June 30, 2008, in anticipation of reinvestment on a tax-deferred basis under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.
25
Other Cash Inflows and Outflows
In the first six months of 2008, we made cash contributions totaling $7.8 million to Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC pursuant to equity calls. We may be required to make additional cash contributions to the joint venture in the future (see Note 9 to condensed consolidated financial statements).
Future Cash Outflows
The Resort segment capital expenditures for 2008 are expected to be approximately $4.6 million, which includes $700,000 for renovation to the Bay Course that began in 2007 and additional improvements at the Kapalua Resort. We expect the Agriculture segment to have capital expenditures of approximately $1.2 million in 2008. Capital expenditures for 2008 are expected to include approximately $0.5 million for upgrades and additions to information systems.
Expenditures in 2008 for the Community Development segment capital projects and deferred development costs are expected to be up to approximately $12.4 million. Additional project spending will depend on market conditions. In connection with the planning for the various projects, we will analyze the feasibility of proceeding with each project and may seek project specific non-recourse financing for some of the capital projects.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This and other reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain forward-looking statements intended to qualify
for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or
current facts. They contain words such as "may," "will," "project," "might," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "would," "estimate," "continue" or "pursue," or the negative or other
variations thereof or comparable terminology. In particular, they include, among others, statements relating to:
In addition, from time to time, we may publish forward-looking statements as to those matters or other aspects of our anticipated financial performance, business prospects, new products, marketing initiatives or similar matters.
26
Any forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events.
We caution the reader that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified and, consequently, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the factors discussed in the sections entitled "Business," "Risk Factors," and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as amended, and the sections entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as other factors described from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is to changes in interest rates. We attempt to manage this risk by monitoring interest rates and future cash requirements, and evaluating opportunities to refinance borrowings at various maturities and interest rates. In January 2008, we entered into interest rate swap agreements for approximately two years on $55.0 million of variable rate debt. We completed the swap agreements in order to reduce the variability in cash flows attributable to interest rate risk caused by changes in short-term LIBOR rates. The effect of the swap is to convert variable-rate interest expense, which was previously tied to 1-, 2-, 3- and 6-month LIBOR terms, to an average fixed rate interest of approximately 4.4%. The estimated fair value of these derivative instruments was approximately $0.3 million as of June 30, 2008.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the first six months of 2008 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
27
Potential risks and uncertainties include, among other things, those factors discussed in the sections entitled "Business", "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Readers should carefully review those risks, as well as additional risks described in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements. The following risk factors are in addition to or materially amend the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2007, but are not a complete list of all risk factors.
Because we are located in Hawaii and therefore apart from the mainland United States, we are more sensitive to certain economic factors, such as increased fuel and travel costs, which may adversely impact and materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Community Development segment and the Resort segment are dependent on attracting visitors to the Kapalua Resort, to Maui, and 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 recent substantial increases in the cost of energy, including fuel costs, and events in the airline industry that reduce passenger capacity or increase traveling costs, including the recent cessation of operations of two airlines that provided significant service to the Hawaiian market, 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. If the cost of energy, including fuel costs, continue to increase at the rate and at the pace as they recently have, it is likely that our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely impacted. 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, such as Avian Flu or SARS, 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 structures relationships, and may initiate future joint venture projects. We currently have, among others, a 51% interest in Bay Holdings, the joint venture that is constructing The Residences at Kapalua Bay, and a 16% interest in the joint venture that owns and operates the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel.
A
joint venture involves certain risks such as:
28
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.
Changes in weather conditions or natural disasters could adversely impact and materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in weather conditions and natural disasters, such as earthquakes, droughts, extreme cold or pestilence, may affect the planting, growing and delivery of crops, reduce sales stock, interrupt distribution of our products, and have a material adverse impact on our Agriculture segment, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Natural disasters could also 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 supplies or operations.
