Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2018

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

CONSOLIDATION

The 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 a private club membership program at the Kapalua Resort. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income includes all changes in stockholders’ equity, except those resulting from capital stock transactions. Comprehensive income includes adjustments to the Company’s defined benefit pension plan obligations.

Loans and Leases Receivable, Allowance for Loan Losses Policy [Policy Text Block]

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

collateral is generally required from customers.

Real Estate Held for Development and Sale, Policy [Policy Text Block]

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

Assets are classified as held for sale when management approves and commits to a plan to sell the property; the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated; the sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within

one

year; the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Assets held for sale are stated at the lower of net book value or estimated fair value less cost to sell.

Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block]

DEFERRED DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Deferred development costs consist primarily of design, entitlement and permitting fees and real estate development costs related to various planned projects. Deferred development costs are written off if management decides that it is

longer probable that the Company will proceed with the related development project. There were

impairments in deferred development costs in

2018

2017.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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

years.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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, 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. There were

impairments in long-lived assets in

2018

2017.

Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, Policy [Policy Text Block]

ACCRUED RETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company’s policy is to fund retirement benefit 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 under-funded status of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan is recorded as a liability in its balance sheet and changes in the funded status of the plan is 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 former management employees provide for specified payments after retirement. A liability has been recognized based on the present value of estimated payments to be made.

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Overview

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

Sales of real estate assets that are considered central to the Company’s ongoing major operations are classified as real estate sales revenue, along with any associated cost of sales, in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Sales of real estate assets that are considered peripheral or incidental transactions to the Company’s ongoing major or central operations are reflected as net gains or losses in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

If the sale of a real estate asset represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations, such as the discontinuance of a business segment, then the operations of the property, including any interest expense directly attributable to it, are classified as discontinued operations, and amounts for all prior periods presented are reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations. The disposal of an individual property generally will

not

represent a strategic shift and, therefore, will typically

not

meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations.

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. Deferred revenues from annual dues received from the private club membership program at the Kapalua Resort are recognized on a straight-line basis over

one

year.

– Lease Accounting

February 2016,

the FASB issued an ASU that sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both parties to a lease agreement (i.e., lessees and lessors). Subsequently, the FASB issued additional ASUs that further clarified the original ASU. The ASUs became effective for us on

January 1, 2019.

Upon adoption of the lease ASUs on

January 1, 2019,

we elected the following practical expedients provided by these ASUs:

•

Package of practical expedients – requires the Company

not

to reevaluate its existing or expired leases as of

January 1, 2019,

under the new lease accounting ASUs.

•

Optional transition method practical expedient – requires the Company to apply the new lease ASUs prospectively from the adoption date of

January 1, 2019.

•

Land easements practical expedient – requires the Company to account for land easements existing as of

January 1, 2019,

under the accounting standards applied to them prior to

January 1, 2019.

•

Single component practical expedient – requires the Company to account for lease and nonlease components associated with that lease under the new lease ASUs, if certain criteria are met.

•

Short-term leases practical expedient – for operating leases with a term of

months or less in which the Company is the lessee, this expedient allows us

not

to record on the Company’s balance sheets related lease liabilities, taxes collected from lessees, lessor costs paid directly by lessee to a

third

party and right-of-use assets.

Lessor accounting

The Company recognized revenue from our lease agreements aggregating

$6.2

million for the year ended

December 31, 2018.

This revenue consisted primarily of rental revenue, percentage rental revenue, and tenant recoveries.

Under current accounting standards, the Company recognizes rental revenue from its operating leases on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. The Company commences recognition of rental revenue at the date the property is ready for its intended use and the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the property.

Under current accounting standards, tenant recoveries related to payments of real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, and other operating expenses are considered lease components. The Company recognizes these tenant recoveries as revenue when services are rendered in an amount equal to the related operating expenses incurred that are recoverable under the terms of the applicable lease.

Under the lease ASU, each lease agreement will be evaluated to identify the lease components and nonlease components at lease inception. The total consideration in the lease agreement will be allocated to the lease and nonlease components based on their relative standalone selling prices. Lessors will continue to recognize the lease revenue component using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for operating leases (straight-line basis).

January 1, 2019,

the Company elected the single component practical expedient, which requires the Company, by class of underlying asset,

not

to allocate the total consideration to the lease and nonlease components based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. This single component practical expedient requires the Company to account for the lease component and nonlease component(s) associated with that lease as a single component if (i) the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease component and the nonlease component(s) associated with it are the same and (ii) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if it were accounted for separately. If it is determined that the lease component is the predominant component, the Company accounts for the single component as an operating lease in accordance with the new lease ASUs. Conversely, the Company is required to account for the combined component under the new revenue recognition ASU if it is determined that the nonlease component is the predominant component.

As a result of this assessment, rental revenues and tenant recoveries from the lease of real estate assets that qualify for this expedient are accounted for as a single component under the new lease ASUs, with tenant recoveries primarily as variable consideration. Tenant recoveries that do

not

qualify for the single component practical expedient and are considered nonlease components are accounted for under the revenue recognition ASUs. The Company’s operating leases commencing or modified after

January 1, 2019,

for which the Company is the lessor are expected to qualify for the single component practical expedient accounting under the new lease ASUs. The adoption of this guidance will

not

have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Costs to execute leases

The new lease ASU will require that lessors and lessees capitalize, as initial direct costs, only those costs that are incurred due to the execution of a lease (e.g. commissions paid to leasing brokers). Under the new lease ASU, allocated payroll costs and other costs such as legal costs incurred as part of the leasing process prior to the execution of a lease will

longer qualify for classification as initial direct costs but will instead be expensed as incurred. During the year ended

December 31, 2018,

the Company did

not

capitalize such costs. Under the package of practical expedients that the Company elected on

January 1, 2019,

it is

not

required to reassess whether initial direct leasing costs capitalized prior to the adoption of the new lease ASUs in connection with the leases that commenced prior to

January 1, 2019,

qualify for capitalization under the new lease ASUs. Effective

January 1, 2019,

costs that the Company incurs to negotiate or arrange a lease regardless of its outcome, such as fixed employee compensation, tax, or legal advice to negotiate lease terms, and costs related to advertising or soliciting potential tenants will be expensed as incurred.

Lessee accounting

Under the new lease ASUs, lessees are required to apply a dual approach by classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which corresponds to a similar evaluation performed by lessors. In addition to this classification, a lessee is also required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases regardless of their classification, whereas a lessor is

not

required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for any operating leases.

For the year ended

December 31, 2018,

the Company recognized rent expense of approximately

$62,000

for these leases. As of

December 31, 2018,

the remaining contractual payments under the office and equipment leases are

$57,000.

All of the aforementioned leases for which the Company is the lessee are currently classified as operating leases, and therefore, the Company will have the option, under the practical expedients provided by the lease ASU, to continue to classify these leases as operating leases upon adoption of the ASU.

Under the package of practical expedients that the Company elected upon adoption of the new lease ASUs, all of its operating leases existing as of

January 1, 2019,

for which the Company is the lessee, continue to be classified as operating leases subsequent to the adoption of the new lease ASUs. The Company have also evaluated the effect of the new lease ASUs on the calculation of its debt covenants as of

December 31, 2018

and noted

significant effect on the calculation.

– Revenue Recognition

May 2014,

the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) on recognition of revenue arising from contracts with customers, as well as recognition of gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers, and subsequently, it issued additional guidance that further clarified the ASU. The revenue recognition ASU has implications for all revenues, excluding those that are under the specific scope of other accounting standards, such as revenue associated with leases (described below).

The Company’s revenues for the year ended

December 31, 2018

that were subject to the revenue recognition ASU were as follows (in thousands):

Real estate	$	446
Utilities		3,220
Resort amenities and other		1,148
Total	$	4,814

The core principle underlying the revenue recognition ASU is that an entity will recognize revenue to represent the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in such exchange. This requires entities to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. The Company’s revenue streams are recognized at a point in time except for the utilities and resort amenities revenue. Utility services are recognized as provided over the monthly billing period, and the annual membership dues are recognized over a period of

twelve

months.

A customer is distinguished from a noncustomer by the nature of the goods or services that are transferred. Customers are provided with goods or services that are generated by a company’s ordinary output activities, whereas noncustomers are provided with nonfinancial assets that are outside of a company’s ordinary output activities. This distinction

may

not

significantly change the pattern of income recognition but determines whether that income is classified as revenue (contracts with customers) or other gains/losses (contracts with noncustomers) in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s revenue streams for the period were generated as ordinary output activities to customers as defined by the guidance and were properly classified as revenues.

The ASU requires the use of a new

five

-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The

five

-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will

not

occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the

five

-step model to the revenue streams, effective

January 1, 2018

compared to the prior guidance did

not

result in significant changes in the way the Company records its real estate revenue, utilities revenue and resort amenities and other revenues.

An entity is also required to determine if it controls the goods or services prior to the transfer to the customer in order to determine if it should account for the arrangement as a principal or agent. Principal arrangements, where the entity controls the goods or services provided, will result in the recognition of the gross amount of consideration expected in the exchange. Agent arrangements, where the entity simply arranges but does

not

control the goods or services being transferred to the customer, will result in the recognition of the net amount the entity is entitled to retain in the exchange. The Company is currently evaluating the option to use a practical expedient to

not

separate lease and non-lease components as shown in ASU

No.2018

prior to adoption in

2019.

Property services categorized as nonlease components that are reimbursed by the Company’s tenants

may

need to be presented on a net basis if it is determined that the Company held an agent arrangement.

Upon adoption, entities can use either a full retrospective or modified retrospective method to adopt this ASU. Under the full retrospective method, all periods presented will be restated upon adoption to conform to the new standard and a cumulative adjustment for effects on periods prior to

2016

will be recorded to retained earnings as of

January 1, 2016.

Under the modified retrospective approach, prior periods are

not

restated to conform to the new standard. Instead, a cumulative adjustment for effects of applying the new standard to periods prior to

2018

is recorded to retained earnings as of

January 1, 2018.

Additionally, incremental footnote disclosures are required to present the

2018

revenues under the prior standard. Under the modified retrospective method, an entity

may

also elect to apply the standard to either (i) all contracts as of

January 1, 2018,

or (ii) only to contracts that are

not

completed as of

January 1, 2018.

The Company elected to adopt this guidance using the modified retrospective method at

January 1, 2018

which did

not

result in an adjustment to retained earnings. Additionally, upon adoption, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the

five

-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were

differences in the pattern of revenue recognition.

Operating Costs And Expenses [Policy Text Block]

OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES

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

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of 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

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.

The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties in general and administrative expenses in its consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and such amounts are included in income taxes payable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of

2017

(TCJA) was signed into law on

December 22, 2017.

The law includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including a Federal corporate rate reduction from

35%

21%,

elimination of Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) and refund of AMT credit carryforward, limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and executive compensation, and the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system. The Company is applying the guidance in Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB)

118

, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

, which provides guidance on applying FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)

740,

Income Taxes, if the accounting for certain income tax effects of the TCJA are incomplete by the time the financial statements are issued for a reporting period. Specifically, SAB

118

permits companies to use reasonable estimates and provisional amounts for some line items for taxes when preparing year-end

2017

financial statements. Additional disclosures required by SAB

118

are included in Note

Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company accounts for share-based compensation, including grants of shares of common stock, as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the 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, Policy [Policy Text Block]

USE OF ESTIMATES AND RECLASSIFICATIONS

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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Future actual amounts could differ from these estimates. Certain amounts in the

December 31, 2017

consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income were reclassified to conform to the

December 31, 2018

presentation. Such amounts had

impact on net income and comprehensive income previously reported.

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to

$250,000.

December 31, 2018

and

December 31, 2017,

the Company had deposits in excess of the FDIC limit.

Risks And Uncertainties [Policy Text Block]

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Factors that could adversely impact the Company’s future operations or financial results include, but are

not

limited to the following: periods of economic weakness and uncertainty in Hawaii and the mainland United States; high unemployment rates and low consumer confidence; uncertainties and changes in U.S. social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or laws and policies resulting from changes in the U.S. presidential administration and concerns surrounding ongoing developments in the European Union, Middle East, and Asia; 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 affect 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; failure of future 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.

Legal Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]

LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

The Company are parties to claims and lawsuits as well as threatened or potential actions or claims concerning matters arising from the conduct of its business activities. The outcome of claims or litigation and the timing of ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict and significant judgment

may

be required in the determination of both the probability of loss and whether the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The Company’s estimates are subjective and are based on the status of legal and regulatory proceedings, the merit of the Company’s defenses and consultation with external legal counsel. An accrual for a potential litigation loss is established when information related to the loss contingency indicates both that a loss is probable and that the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Refer to Note

of the Notes to Financial Statements for further information regarding the Company’s legal proceedings.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed similar to basic net income per common 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.
