Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information that are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 promulgated by Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes to financial statements required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
LIQUIDITY	LIQUIDITY The Company reported a net loss of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company reported negative cash flows from operations of $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company had an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $53.3 million and a stockholders’ deficiency of $34.7 million at June 30, 2013. 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 are scheduled to mature in May 2014 and have been classified as currently due. The Company is required to pay down its principal balance to $20 million by December 31, 2013 under the American AgCredit credit facility. The Company has made $1.8 million of the mandatory principal repayment as of June 30, 2013. 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 commitments and contingencies that could negatively impact its future cash flows, including a commitment of up to $35 million to purchase the spa, beach club improvements and the sundry store (the “Amenities”) from the new owners of the Residences at Kapalua Bay, a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) matter related to the Company’s discontinued agricultural operations, an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) settlement related to previously filed tax returns, and funding requirements related to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans. These matters are further described in Notes 8, 10, 11 and 13. 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 condensed 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 (as described in Note 8) and purchase commitment for the Amenities. The Company is also actively working with its lenders to extend the maturity dates of its credit facilities.

Disclosure of accounting policy for reporting when there is a substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time (generally a year from the balance sheet date). Disclose: (a) pertinent conditions and events giving rise to the assessment of substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, (b) the possible effects of such conditions and events, (c) management's evaluation of the significance of those conditions and events and any mitigating factors, (d) possible discontinuance of operations, (e) management's plans (including relevant prospective financial information), and (f) information about the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities. If management's plans alleviate the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosure of the principal conditions and events that initially raised the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern would be expected to be considered. Disclose whether operations for the current or prior years generated sufficient cash to cover current obligations, whether waivers were obtained from creditors relating to the company's default under the provisions of debt agreements and possible effects of such conditions and events, such as: whether there is a possible need to obtain additional financing (debt or equity) or to liquidate certain holdings to offset future cash flow deficiencies. Disclose appropriate parent company information when parent is dependent upon remittances from subsidiaries to satisfy its obligations.
