Kaanapali Land, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in Thousands)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Organization and
Basis of Accounting
Kaanapali Land, LLC
("Kaanapali Land"), a Delaware limited liability company is the reorganized entity resulting from the Joint Plan of Reorganization
of Amfac Hawaii, LLC (now known as KLC Land Company, LLC ("KLC Land")), certain of its subsidiaries (together with KLC
Land, the "KLC Debtors") and FHT Corporation ("FHTC" and, together with the KLC Debtors, the "Debtors")
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated June 11, 2002 (as amended, the "Plan"). The Plan was filed jointly
by all Debtors to consolidate each case for joint administration in the Bankruptcy Court in order to (a) permit the petitioners
to present a joint reorganization plan that recognized, among other things, the common indebtedness of the debtors (i.e. the Certificate
of Land Appreciation Notes ("COLAs") and Senior Indebtedness) and (b) facilitate the overall administration of the bankruptcy
proceedings. As indicated in the Plan, Kaanapali Land has elected to be taxable as a corporation.
The Plan was confirmed
by the Bankruptcy Court by orders dated July 29, 2002 and October 30, 2002 (collectively, the "Order") and
became effective November 13, 2002 (the "Plan Effective Date"). During August 2005, pursuant to a motion for entry of
final decree, the bankruptcy cases were closed.
In accordance with
the Plan, approximately 1,793,000 Common Shares were issued all of which remained outstanding at December 31, 2018.
Kaanapali Land's membership
interests are denominated as non par value "Shares" and were originally divided into two classes: the Class A Shares,
which were widely held primarily by non-affiliated persons who had previously held Company indebtedness prior to the Plan Effective
Date and "Class B Shares" which were generally held by affiliates of Kaanapali Land. Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the
Class A Shares and Class B Shares were automatically redesignated Company Common Shares on November 15, 2007. Accordingly, the
Company's Class A Shares and Class B Shares ceased to exist separately on November 15, 2007.
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Kaanapali Land and all of its subsidiaries and its predecessor (collectively, the
"Company"), which include KLC Land and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In 2013, the Kaanapali Coffee Farms Lot Owners’
Association was consolidated into the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The interests of third party owners are reflected
as non controlling interests. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. All
references to acres/acreage are unaudited.
The Company's continuing
operations are in two business segments - Agriculture and Property. The Agriculture segment remains engaged in farming, harvesting
and milling operations relating to coffee orchards on behalf of the applicable land owners. The Property segment primarily develops
land for sale and negotiates bulk sales of undeveloped land. The Property and Agriculture segments operate exclusively in the State
of Hawaii. For further information on the Company's business segments see Note 8.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers
as cash equivalents all investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Included in this balance is a money
market fund for $5,000 that is considered to be a Level 1 investment with a maturity of 30 days. The Company’s cash
balances are maintained primarily in two financial institutions. Restricted cash represents cash held by the Kaanapali Coffee Farms
Lot Owners’ Association. Such balances generally exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. Management
does not believe the Company is exposed to significant risk of loss on cash and cash equivalents.
Subsequent Events
The Company has performed
an evaluation of subsequent events from the date of the financial statements included in this annual report through the date of
its filing with the SEC.
Reclassification
of Prior Year Presentation
Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the
reported consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance under the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
606, Revenue from Contract with Customers, which established a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts
with customers and superseded prior revenue guidance, and subsequently, it issued additional guidance that further clarified the
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). This guidance requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of
promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled
to receive in exchange. The revenue recognition ASU has implications for all revenues, excluding those that are under the specific
scope of other accounting standards.
The Company’s
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 that were subject to the revenue recognition ASU were as follows (in thousands):
|
Sales of real estate
|
$
|
3,267
|
|
|
Coffee and other crop sales
|
|
2,118
|
|
|
Total
|
$
|
5,385
|
|
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 compared
to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its sales of real estate and
coffee and other crop sales.
The Company elected
to adopt this guidance using the modified retrospective method at January 1, 2018 which did not result in an
adjustment to the 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 no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition.
In February 2016,
the FASB updated ASC Topic 842 Leases (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to record operating and financing leases as assets
and liabilities on the balance sheet and lessors to expense costs that are not direct leasing costs. In addition, the following
ASUs were subsequently issued related to ASC Topic 842, all of which will be effective with ASU 2016-02:
-
In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, Leases
(Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. The standard provides an optional transition practical
expedient for the adoption of ASU 2016-02 that, if elected, would not require an organization to reconsider its accounting for
existing land easements that are not currently accounted for under the old leases standard.
-
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10: Codification
Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, which affects narrow aspects of the guidance issued in the amendments to ASU 2016-02.
-
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases
(Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provide lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate
nonlease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if
the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance (Topic 606) and certain criteria are met.
The guidance also provides an optional transition method which would allow entities to initially apply the new guidance in the
period of adoption, recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, if necessary.
ASU 2016-02 is effective
for periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted using a modified retrospective approach. The
adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have a material impact for lease agreements where we are the lessor and the Company will continue
to record rental revenues on a monthly basis. In addition, for leases where the Company is a lessee, the adoption of this guidance
did not have a material impact. The Company elected to adopt this guidance using the modified retrospective approach on January 1,
2019 which did not result in an adjustment to the retained earnings.
In June 2016, the
FASB updated ASC Topic 326 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses with ASU 2016-13 Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 enhances the methodology of measuring expected credit losses to include the use of forward-looking
information to better inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15,
2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. While the Company is currently evaluating the effect that implementation
of this update will have on its consolidated financial statements, significant impact is not anticipated.
On January 1, 2018,
the Company adopted ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides
guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments should be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows with
the objective of reducing existing diversity in practice with respect to these items. The adoption of this guidance did not have
a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2018,
the Company adopted ASU 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This update required inclusion of restricted
cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period
total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.
Restricted cash
consists of amounts primarily held by Kaanapali Coffee Farms Lot Owners Association (“LOA”) in deposit for business
operations of the LOA and design review and construction deposits. Changes in restricted cash are reported in our Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows as operating, investing or financing activities based on the nature of the underlying activity.

In January 2017, the
FASB issued guidance to add the SEC Staff Announcement “Disclosure of the Impact that Recently Issued Accounting Standards
will have on the Financial Statements of a Registrant when such Standards are Adopted in a Future Period (in accordance with Staff
Accounting Bulletin Topic 11.M).” The announcement applies to the May 2014 guidance on revenue recognition from contracts
with customers and the February 2016 guidance on leases. The announcement provides the SEC staff view that a registrant should
evaluate certain recent accounting standards that have not yet been adopted to determine appropriate financial statement disclosures
about the potential material effects of those recent accounting standards. If a registrant does not know or cannot reasonably estimate
the impact that adoption of the recent accounting standards referenced in this announcement is expected to have on the financial
statements, then the registrant should make a statement to that effect and consider the additional qualitative financial statement
disclosures to assist the reader in assessing the significance of the impact that the recent accounting standards will have on
the financial statements of the registrant when adopted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018,
the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI). These amendments provide financial statement preparers with an option to reclassify stranded
tax effects within AOCI to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income
tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Job Act (or portion thereof) is recorded. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those financial years. While the Company is currently evaluating the effect that
implementation of this update will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations upon adoption, significant
impact is not anticipated.
In August 2018, FASB issued
ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amends ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modified the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying or
adding certain disclosures. This standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. While the Company is currently evaluating the effect that implementation
of this update will have on its consolidated financial statements, significant impact is not anticipated.
In August 2018, the SEC
adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure requirements
that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping. outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements
on the analysis of stockholders’ equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement.
The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement
of comprehensive income is required to be filed. The Company anticipates its first presentation of changes in stockholders' equity
as required under the new SEC guidance will be included in our Form 10-Q for the three month period ended March 31, 2019.
Land Development
During the first quarter
of 2006, the Company received final subdivision approval on an approximate 336 acre parcel in the region "mauka" (toward
the mountains) from the main highway serving the area. This project, called Kaanapali Coffee Farms, consisted of 51 agricultural
lots, offered to individual buyers. The land improvements were completed during 2008. As of December 31, 2018, the Company
sold fifty lots at Kaanapali Coffee Farms including one lot during the fourth quarter 2018, two lots during the second quarter
2018, one lot during the first quarter 2018 and five lots in 2017. In conjunction with the sale of one of the lots sold in 2018,
in addition to cash proceeds, the Company received a promissory note in the amount of approximately $440.
Project costs associated
with the development and construction of real estate projects are capitalized and classified as Property, net. Such capitalized
costs are not in excess of the projects' estimated fair value as reviewed periodically or as considered necessary. In addition,
interest, insurance and property tax are capitalized to qualifying assets during the period that such assets are undergoing activities
necessary to prepare them for their intended use.
For development projects,
capitalized costs are allocated using the direct method for expenditures that are specifically associated with the lot being sold
and the relative-sales-value method for expenditures that benefit the entire project.
Recognition of
Profit From Real Property Sales
In accordance with
the core principle of ASC 606, revenue from real property sales is recognized at the time of closing when control of the property
transfers to the customer. After closing of the sale transaction, we have no remaining performance obligation. When the sale does
not meet the requirements for full profit recognition, all or a portion of the profit is deferred until such requirements are met.
Other revenues in
the scope of ASC 606 are recognized when control of goods or services transfers to the customers, in the amount that we expect
to receive for the transfer of goods or provision of services.
Property
Property is stated
at cost. Depreciation is based on the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of 15-40 years for the Company's depreciable
land improvements, 3-18 years for machinery and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant
betterments and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Provisions for impairment
losses related to long-lived assets, if any, are recognized when expected future cash flows are less than the carrying values of
the assets. If indicators of impairment are present, the Company evaluates the carrying value of the related long-lived assets
in relationship to the future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying operations or anticipated sales proceeds. The Company adjusts
the net book value of property to fair value if the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flow or sales proceeds is less
than book value. Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying value of the asset or fair value less costs to
sell.

Inventory of land
held for sale of approximately $736 and $3,498, representing primarily Kaanapali Coffee Farms, was included in Property, net in
the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable
value. The land held for sale is recognized in the Property segment as disclosed in footnote 8 Business Segment Information. Generally,
no land is currently in use except for certain acreage of coffee trees which are being maintained to support the Company's land
development program and miscellaneous parcels of land that have been leased or licensed to third parties on a short term basis.
The Company's significant
property holdings are on the island of Maui consisting of approximately 3,900 acres, of which approximately 1,500 acres is classified
as conservation land which precludes development. The Company has determined, based on its current projections for the development
and/or disposition of its property holdings, that the property holdings are not currently recorded in an amount in excess of proceeds
that the Company expects that it will ultimately obtain from the operation and disposition thereof.
In August 2017, Pioneer
Mill Company, pursuant to a property sales agreement with an unrelated third party, sold approximately 230 acres known as the “Wainee
Lands”, which are located in Lahaina south of the mill site (“Wainee Sales Agreement”). The sales price was $8,000,
paid in cash at closing.
In September 2014,
Kaanapali Land Management Corp. (“KLMC”), pursuant to a property and option purchase agreement with an unrelated
third party, closed on the sale of an approximate 14.9 acre parcel in West Maui. The purchase price was $3,300, paid in cash
at closing. The agreement commits KLMC to fund up to between $803 and $1,008, depending on various factors, for off-site
roadway, water, sewer and electrical improvements that will also provide service to other KLMC properties. The purchaser was
also granted an option for the purchase of an adjacent site of approximately 18.5 acres for $4,078, of which $525 was paid in
cash upon the closing of the 14.9 acre site. The nonrefundable $525 option payment can be applied to the purchase of the 18.5
acre site. The option which initially expired in September 2017 has been extended to March 31, 2019. The purchaser is
negotiating an extension to the option agreement. The 14.9 acre site is intended to be used for a hospital, skilled nursing
facility, assisted living facility, and medical offices, and the option site is intended to be used for other medical and
health related facilities.
Other Liabilities
Other liabilities
are comprised of estimated liabilities for losses, commitments and contingencies related to various divested assets or operations.
These estimated liabilities include the estimated effects of certain asbestos related claims, obligations related to former officers
and employees such as pension, post-retirement benefits and workmen's compensation, investigation and potential remedial efforts
in connection with environmental matters in the state of Hawaii. Management's estimates are based, as applicable, on taking into
consideration claim amounts filed by third parties, life expectancy of beneficiaries, advice of consultants, negotiations with
claimants, historical settlement experience, the number of new cases expected to be filed and the likelihood of liability in specific
situations. Management periodically reviews the adequacy of each of its reserve amounts and adjusts such as it determines appropriate
to reflect current information. Reference is made to Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Short-Term Investments
It is the Company's
policy to classify all of its investments in U.S. Government obligations with original maturities greater than three months as
held-to maturity, as the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until their maturity, and are recorded at
amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted
for under the asset and liability approach which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the differences
between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance reduces deferred tax assets when
it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017,
there were no uncertain tax positions that had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
(2) Mortgage Note Payable
Certain subsidiaries
of Kaanapali Land are jointly indebted to Kaanapali Land pursuant to a certain Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount
of $70,000 dated November 14, 2002, and due September 30, 2020, as extended. Such note had an outstanding balance of principal
and accrued interest as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 of approximately $88,400 and $87,900, respectively. The interest rate currently
is 1.19% per annum and compounds semi-annually. The note, which is prepayable, is secured by substantially all of the remaining
real property owned by such subsidiaries, pursuant to a certain Mortgage, Security Agreement and Financing Statement, dated as
of November 14, 2002 and placed on record in December 2002. The note has been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements
because the obligors are consolidated subsidiaries of Kaanapali Land.
(3) Rental Arrangements
During 2018 and 2017,
the Company leased various office spaces with average annual rental of approximately $11 and $33 per year, respectively. Although
the Company was a party to certain other leasing arrangements, none of them were material.
(4) Employee Benefit Plans
As of December 31,
2018, the Company participates in a defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all its eligible employees. The Pension
Plan is sponsored and maintained by Kaanapali Land in conjunction with other plans providing benefits to employees of Kaanapali
Land and its affiliates. The Pension Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees of Amfac Plantations (the "Pension Plan") provides
benefits based primarily on length of service and career-average compensation levels. Kaanapali Land's policy is to fund pension
costs in accordance with the minimum funding requirements under provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA").
Under such guidelines, amounts funded may be more or less than the pension expense or credit recognized for financial reporting
purposes.
On October 6, 2016 the
Pension Plan entered into an agreement with Pacific Life Insurance Company (“Pacific Life”), a third party insurance
company, to transfer the obligation to pay benefits to approximately 1,330 retired members and beneficiaries currently receiving
monthly benefits from the Pension Plan, and to approximately 168 members with deferred annuities under the Pension Plan, through
the purchase of a single premium group annuity contract. The action settled approximately 96% of the Pension Plan’s benefit
obligations. In order to fund the purchase, funds aggregating approximately $39.7 million were transferred to Pacific Life on October 11,
2016. The Pension Plan no longer has an obligation to pay benefits to those members and beneficiaries.
In the fourth quarter of
2016 the Company recognized a non-cash accumulated other comprehensive loss, after tax, of approximately $3.5 million. Substantially
all of the resultant total after tax accumulated other comprehensive loss of approximately $13 million has been recognized in accumulated
earnings in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
The Company does not consider
the excess assets of the Pension Plan (approximately $14 million after the above noted transaction) to be a source of liquidity
due to the substantial cost, including Federal income tax consequences, associated with liquidating the Pension Plan.
FASB ASC Topic
820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest
priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest
priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1
-
|
|
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
|
|
|
Level 2
-
|
|
Inputs to the valuation methodology include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets; or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability.
|
|
|
|
Level 3
-
|
|
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
|
The asset or liability's
fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the
fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize unobservable inputs.
Following is a description
of the valuation methodologies used for Pension Plan assets measured at fair value.

Private Equity Investments and Investment in Partnerships
: Valued at net asset value ("NAV") of shares/ownership units held by the Pension Plan at year-end. NAV represents the Pension Plan's interests in the net assets of these investments which consisted primarily of equity and debt securities, some of which are exchange-traded or valued using independent pricing feeds (i.e. Bloomberg or Reuters) or independent broker quotes. In accordance with Subtopic 820-10, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table below are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the statement of financial position.

At December 31, 2018,
approximately 4% of the plan's assets are invested in cash, 18% in equity composite and 78% in multi-strategy composite. The allocations
are within Company's target allocations in association with the Company's investment strategy.
The pension plan has investment
policies. These generally are written guidelines or general instructions for making investment management decisions. The investment
policy of the plan is to invest the plan’s assets in accordance with sound investment practices that emphasize long-term
investment fundamentals, taking into account the time horizon available for investment, the nature of the plan’s cash flow
requirements, the plan’s role within the Company’s long-term financial plan and other factors that affect the plan’s
risk tolerance.
The components of
the net periodic pension credit for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 (which are reflected as selling, general and
administrative in the consolidated statements of operations) are as follows:

The above long-term
rates of return were selected based on historical asset returns and expectations of future returns.
The Company amortizes
experience gains and losses as well as effects of changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions over a period no longer
than the average expected mortality of participants in the pension plan.
The measurement date
is December 31, the last day of the corporate fiscal year.
A comparison of the
market value of the Pension Plan's net assets with the present value of the benefit obligations indicates the Company's ability
at a point in time to pay future benefits. The fair value of the Pension Plan's assets available for benefits will fluctuate.
There was no contribution
required in 2018 to the pension plan. Furthermore, due to ERISA full funding limits, no contribution, whether required or discretionary,
could be made and deducted on the corporation's tax return for the current fiscal year.
The Company's target
asset allocations reflect the Company's investment strategy of maximizing the rate of return on plan assets and the resulting funded
status, within an appropriate level of risk. Plan assets are reviewed and, if necessary, rebalanced in accordance with target allocation
levels once every three months.
The estimated future
benefit payments under the Company's pension plan are as follows (in thousands):

The Company recognizes
the over funded or under funded status of its employee benefit plans as an asset or liability in its consolidated statements of
financial position and recognizes changes in its funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income.
Included in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are the following amounts that have not yet been
recognized in net periodic pension cost: unrecognized prior service costs of $5 ($4, net of tax) and $9 ($7, net of tax), respectively,
and unrecognized actuarial loss of $2,166 ($1,603, net of tax) and $1,847 ($1,367, net of tax), respectively.
The Company maintains
a nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement (the "Rabbi Trust") which provides certain former directors of Amfac
and their spouses with pension benefits. The Rabbi Trust invests in marketable securities and cash equivalents (Level 1). The deferred
compensation liability of $429 represented in the Rabbi Trust and assets funding such deferred compensation liability of $42 are
consolidated in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

On December 22, 2017,
the United States enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) which made significant changes that affect the Company, primarily
due to the lower U.S. Federal tax rate and the repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax. On January 1, 2018, the Company’s
federal corporate tax rate became 21%. The Company reflected the impact of this rate on its deferred tax assets and liabilities
at December 31, 2017, as it was required to reflect the change in the period in which the law was enacted. The impact of this
change was reflected as a net benefit of $8,076 in the income tax provision for the period ended December 31, 2017.
The Act also repealed
the corporate alternative minimum tax for tax years beginning after January 1, 2018 and provided that prior alternative minimum
tax credits (AMT credits) would be refundable. The Company has AMT credits that are expected to be refunded between 2018 and 2021
as a result of the Act. The Company’s 2017 tax provision reflected the release of previously recorded valuation allowances
against AMT credit carry-forwards of $2,594, as those credits will now be refundable, net of anticipated sequestration. In January
2019, the IRS announced that the AMT tax credits refund will not be subject to sequestration. The expected refundable tax credit
of $2,594 is included in Other assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Act is a comprehensive
tax reform bill containing a number of other provisions that either currently or in the future could impact the Company, particularly
the effect of certain limitations effective for the tax year 2018 and forward (prior losses remain subject to the prior 20 year
carryover period) on the use of federal net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) which will generally be limited to being used to
offset 80% of future annual taxable income.
Income tax expense/(benefit)
attributable to income from continuing operations differs from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate
of 26 percent effective for 2018 and 35 percent effective for 2017 and prior years to pretax income from operations as a result
of the following:

As of December 31,
2018, the Company has a deferred tax asset related to federal net operating losses (NOLs) of $7,727, of which $6,956 has been subject
to a valuation allowance. The NOLs originated in 2006 through 2017 will expire over 20 years. The NOLs originated in 2018 and later
years will not expire. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has a deferred tax asset related to state NOLs of $2,822, all
of which has been subject to a valuation allowance. The state NOLs expire in various years 2019 through 2035.
At December 31, 2017,
the Company had reclassified a deferred tax asset relating to federal AMT credits of $2,777 from the prior year that resulted from
the expected refund of those credits. Accordingly, the previously recorded valuation allowance had been released. It should be
noted that the Company recorded an allowance for receivables at December 31, 2017 reflecting the anticipated 6.6% government
sequestration of the refundable AMT credits. In January 2019, the IRS announced that the AMT tax credits will not be subject to
sequestration. Such allowance is expected to be reversed in the first quarter of 2019. Although not anticipated to occur, a change
in ownership of the Company greater than 50% could have a significant adverse effect on future utilization of net operating losses.
Federal
tax return examinations have been completed for all years through 2005 and for the year 2013. The statutes of limitations
have run for the tax years 2007 through 2012. The statutes of limitations with respect to the Company's taxes for 2015
through 2018 remain open, subject to possible utilization of loss carryforwards from earlier years. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, all NOLs generated and not yet utilized are subject to adjustment by the IRS. The Company believes adequate
provisions for income tax have been recorded for all years, although there can be no assurance that such provisions will be
adequate. To the extent that there is a shortfall, any such shortfall for which the Company may be liable could be
material.
(6) Transactions
with Affiliates
An affiliated insurance
agency, JMB Insurance Agency, Inc., which has some degree of common ownership with the Company, earns insurance brokerage commissions
in connection with providing the placement of insurance coverage for certain of the properties and operations of the Company. Such
commissions are believed by management to be comparable to those that would be paid to such affiliate insurance agency in similar
dealings with unaffiliated third parties. The total of such commissions for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 was
approximately $19, $13 and $12, respectively.
The Company reimburses
their affiliates for general overhead expense and for direct expenses incurred on its behalf, including salaries and salary-related
expenses incurred in connection with the management of the Company's operations. Generally, the entity that employs the person
providing the services receives the reimbursement. Substantially all of such reimbursable amounts were incurred by JMB Realty Corporation
or its affiliates, 900FMS, LLC, and JMB Financial Advisors, LLC, all of which have some degree of common ownership with the Company.
The total costs recorded in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations
for the years ended 2018, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $1,349, $1,313 and $1,286, respectively, of which approximately $200
was unpaid as of December 31, 2018.
The Company derives
revenue from farming and common area maintenance services and for providing non-potable water to the Kaanapali Coffee Farms Lot
Owners Association (“LOA”). The LOA is the association of the owners of the Kaanapali Coffee Farms. The revenues were
$1,189, $1,105 and $1,172 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Such revenue is recognized in the
Agriculture Segment as disclosed in footnote 8 Business Segment Information. The revenue amounts have been eliminated in consolidated
financial statements.
(7) Commitments
and Contingencies
At December 31, 2018,
the Company has no principal contractual obligations related to the land improvements in conjunction with Phase I of the Kaanapali
Coffee Farms project.
Material legal proceedings
of the Company are described below. Unless otherwise noted, the parties adverse to the Company in the legal proceedings described
below have not made a claim for damages in a liquidated amount and/or the Company believes that it would be speculative to attempt
to determine the Company's exposure relative thereto, and as a consequence believes that an estimate of the range of potential
loss cannot be made. Any claims that were not filed on a timely basis under the Plan have been discharged by the Bankruptcy Court
and thus the underlying legal proceedings should not result in any liability to the Debtors. All other claims have been satisfied.
Proceedings against subsidiaries or affiliates of Kaanapali Land that are not Debtors were not stayed by the Plan and were permitted
to proceed. However, two such subsidiaries, Oahu Sugar Company, LLC (“Oahu Sugar”) and D/C Distribution Corporation
(“D/C”), filed subsequent petitions for liquidation under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code in April 2005 and July
2007, respectively, as described below. As a consequence of the Chapter 7 filings, both subsidiaries are not under control
of the Company.
As a result of an
administrative order issued to Oahu Sugar by the Hawaii Department of Health (“HDOH”), Order No. CH 98-001, dated January
27, 1998, Oahu Sugar was engaged in environmental site assessment of lands it leased from the U.S. Navy and located on the Waipio
Peninsula. Oahu Sugar submitted a Remedial Investigation Report to the HDOH. The HDOH provided comments that indicated that additional
testing may be required. Oahu Sugar responded to these comments with additional information. On January 9, 2004, the Environmental
Protection Agency (“EPA”) issued a request to Oahu Sugar seeking information related to the actual or threatened release
of hazardous substances, pollutants and contaminants at the Waipio Peninsula portion of the Pearl Harbor Naval Complex National
Priorities List Superfund Site. The request sought, among other things, information relating to the ability of Oahu Sugar to pay
for or perform a cleanup of the land formerly occupied by Oahu Sugar. Oahu Sugar responded to the information requests and had
notified both the Navy and the EPA that while it had some modest remaining cash that it could contribute to further investigation
and remediation efforts in connection with an overall settlement of the outstanding claims, Oahu Sugar was substantially without
assets and would be unable to make a significant contribution to such an effort. Attempts at negotiating such a settlement were
fruitless and Oahu Sugar received an order from EPA in March 2005 that would purport to require certain testing and remediation
of the site. As Oahu Sugar was substantially without assets, the pursuit of any action, informational, enforcement, or otherwise,
would have had a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Oahu Sugar. Counsel for the trustee, EPA, the Navy, and
for Fireman’s Fund, one of Kaanapali Land’s insurers, are exploring ways in which to conclude the Oahu Sugar bankruptcy.
There are no assurances that such an agreement can be reached.
Therefore, as a result
of the pursuit of further action by the HDOH and EPA as described above and the immediate material adverse effect that the actions
had on the financial condition of Oahu Sugar, Oahu Sugar filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Illinois,
Eastern Division its voluntary petition for liquidation under Chapter 7 of Title 11, United States Bankruptcy Code. Such
filing is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company as Oahu Sugar was substantially without assets at the time
of the filing. While it is not believed that any other affiliates have any responsibility for the debts of Oahu Sugar, the EPA
has indicated that it intends to make a claim against Kaanapali Land as further described below, and therefore, there can be no
assurance that the Company will not incur significant costs in conjunction with such claim.
The deadline for filing
proofs of claim with the bankruptcy court passed in April 2006. Prior to the deadline, Kaanapali Land, on behalf of itself and
certain subsidiaries, filed claims that aggregated approximately $224,000, primarily relating to unpaid guarantee obligations made
by Oahu Sugar that were assigned to Kaanapali Land pursuant to the Plan on the Plan Effective Date. In addition, the EPA and the
U.S. Navy filed a joint proof of claim that seeks to recover certain environmental response costs relative to the Waipio Peninsula
site discussed above. The proof of claim contained a demand for previously spent costs in the amount of approximately $260, and
additional anticipated response costs of between approximately $2,760 and $11,450. No specific justification of these costs, or
what they are purported to represent, was included in the EPA/Navy proof of claim. Due to the insignificant amount of assets remaining
in the debtor's estate, it is unclear whether the United States Trustee who has taken control of Oahu Sugar will take any action
to contest the EPA/Navy claim, or how it will reconcile such claim for the purpose of distributing any remaining assets of Oahu
Sugar.
EPA sent three
requests for information to Kaanapali Land regarding, among other things, Kaanapali Land's organization and relationship, if any,
to entities that may have, historically, operated on the site and with respect to operations conducted on the site. Kaanapali Land
responded to these requests for information. By letter dated February 7, 2007, pursuant to an allegation that Kaanapali Land
is a successor to Oahu Sugar Company, Limited, a company that operated at the site prior to 1961 ("Old Oahu"), EPA advised
Kaanapali that it believes it is authorized by the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”)
to amend the existing Unilateral Administrative Order against Oahu Sugar Company, LLC, for the cleanup of the site to include Kaanapali
Land as an additional respondent. The purported basis for the EPA's position is that Kaanapali Land, by virtue of certain corporate
actions, is jointly and severally responsible for the performance of the response actions, including, without limitation, clean-up
at the site. No such amendment has taken place as of the date hereof. Instead, after a series of discussions between Kaanapali
and the EPA, on or about September 30, 2009, the EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order to Kaanapali Land for the performance
of work in support of a removal action at the former Oahu Sugar pesticide mixing site located on Waipio peninsula. The work consists
of the performance of soil and groundwater sampling and analysis, a topographic survey, and the preparation of an engineering evaluation
and cost analysis of potential removal actions to abate an alleged "imminent and substantial endangerment" to public
health, welfare or the environment. The order appears to be further predicated primarily on the alleged connection of Kaanapali
Land to Old Oahu and its activities on the site. Kaanapali Land is currently performing work, including the conduct of sampling
at the site, required by the order while reserving its rights to contest liability regarding the site. With regard to liability
for the site, Kaanapali Land believes that its liability, if any, should relate solely to a portion of the period of operation
of Old Oahu at the site, although in some circumstances CERCLA apparently permits imposition of joint and several liability, which
can exceed a responsible party's equitable share. Kaanapali Land believes that the U.S. Navy bears substantial liability for the
site by virtue of its ownership of the site throughout the entire relevant period, both as landlord under its various leases with
Oahu Sugar and Old Oahu and by operating and intensively utilizing the site directly during a period when no lease was in force.
The Company believes that the cost of the work as set forth in the current order will not be material to the Company as a whole;
however, in the event that the EPA were to issue an order requiring remediation of the site, there can be no assurances that the
cost of said remediation would not ultimately have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, if there is litigation
regarding the site, there can be no assurance that the cost of such litigation will not be material or that such litigation will
result in a judgment in favor of the Company. Currently, Kaanapali and the EPA are exchanging comments relative to further studies
to be performed at the site, including a possible ecological risk assessment. Kaanapali expects that after a further review, the
next phase is likely a consideration of the remedial alternatives for the Site.
On February 11,
2015, the Company filed a complaint for declaratory judgment, bad faith and damages against Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company
(“Fireman’s Fund”) in the Circuit Court of the First Circuit, State of Hawaii, Civil No. 15-1-0239-02, in connection
with costs and expenses it has incurred or may incur in connection with the Waipio site. In the five-count complaint, the Company
seeks, among other things, a declaratory judgment of its rights under various Fireman’s Fund policies and an order that Fireman’s
Fund defend and indemnify Kaanapali Land from all past, present and future costs and expenses in connection with the site, including
costs of investigation and defense incurred by Kaanapali and the professionals it has engaged. In addition, Kaanapali seeks general,
special, and punitive damages, prejudgment and post judgment interest, and such other legal or equitable relief as the court deems
just and proper. Fireman’s Fund has filed a responsive pleading. There are no assurances of the amounts of insurance proceeds
that may or may not be ultimately recovered.
Kaanapali Land, as
successor by merger to other entities, and D/C have been named as defendants in personal injury actions allegedly based on exposure
to asbestos. While there are relatively few cases that name Kaanapali Land, there were a substantial number of cases that were
pending against D/C on the U.S. mainland (primarily in California). Cases against Kaanapali Land (hereafter, “Kaanapali Land
asbestos cases”) are allegedly based on its prior business operations in Hawaii and cases against D/C are allegedly based
on sale of asbestos-containing products by D/C's prior distribution business operations primarily in California. Each entity defending
these cases believes that it has meritorious defenses against these actions, but can give no assurances as to the ultimate outcome
of these cases. The defense of these cases has had a material adverse effect on the financial condition of D/C as it has been forced
to file a voluntary petition for liquidation as discussed below. Kaanapali Land does not believe that it has liability, directly
or indirectly, for D/C's obligations in those cases. Kaanapali Land does not presently believe that the cases in which it is named
will result in any material liability to Kaanapali Land; however, there can be no assurance in that regard.
On February 12, 2014,
counsel for Fireman’s Fund, the carrier that has been paying defense costs and settlements for the Kaanapali Land asbestos
cases, stated that it would no longer advance fund settlements or judgments in the Kaanapali Land asbestos cases due to the pendency
of the D/C and Oahu Sugar bankruptcies. In its communications with Kaanapali Land, Fireman’s fund expressed its view that
the automatic stay in effect in the D/C bankruptcy case bars Fireman’s Fund from making any payments to resolve the Kaanapali
Land asbestos claims because D/C Distribution is also alleging a right to coverage under those policies for asbestos claims against
it. However, in the interim, Fireman’s Fund advised that it presently intends to continue to pay defense costs for those
cases, subject to whatever reservations of rights may be in effect and subject further to the policy terms. Fireman’s Fund
has also indicated that to the extent that Kaanapali Land cooperates with Fireman’s Fund in addressing settlement of the
Kaanapali Land asbestos cases through coordination with its adjusters, it is Fireman’s Fund’s present intention to
reimburse any such payments by Kaanapali Land, subject, among other things, to the terms of any lift-stay order, the limits and
other terms and conditions of the policies, and prior approval of the settlements. Kaanapali Land continues to pursue discussions
with Fireman’s Fund in an attempt to resolve the issues, however, Kaanapali Land is unable to determine what portion, if
any, of settlements or judgments in the Kaanapali Land asbestos cases will be covered by insurance.
On February 15, 2005,
D/C was served with a lawsuit entitled American & Foreign Insurance Company v. D/C Distribution and Amfac Corporation, Case
No. 04433669 filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Francisco, Central Justice Center. No
other purported party was served. In the eight-count complaint for declaratory relief, reimbursement and recoupment of unspecified
amounts, costs and for such other relief as the court might grant, plaintiff alleged that it is an insurance company to whom D/C
tendered for defense and indemnity various personal injury lawsuits allegedly based on exposure to asbestos containing products.
Plaintiff alleged that because none of the parties have been able to produce a copy of the policy or policies in question, a judicial
determination of the material terms of the missing policy or policies is needed. Plaintiff sought, among other things, a declaration:
of the material terms, rights, and obligations of the parties under the terms of the policy or policies; that the policies were
exhausted; that plaintiff is not obligated to reimburse D/C for its attorneys' fees in that the amounts of attorneys' fees incurred
by D/C have been incurred unreasonably; that plaintiff was entitled to recoupment and reimbursement of some or all of the amounts
it has paid for defense and/or indemnity; and that D/C breached its obligation of cooperation with plaintiff. D/C filed an answer
and an amended cross-claim. D/C believed that it had meritorious defenses and positions, and intended to vigorously defend. In
addition, D/C believed that it was entitled to amounts from plaintiffs for reimbursement and recoupment of amounts expended by
D/C on the lawsuits previously tendered. In order to fund such action and its other ongoing obligations while such lawsuit continued,
D/C entered into a Loan Agreement and Security Agreement with Kaanapali Land, in August 2006, whereby Kaanapali Land provided certain
advances against a promissory note delivered by D/C in return for a security interest in any D/C insurance policy at issue in this
lawsuit. In June 2007, the parties settled this lawsuit with payment by plaintiffs in the amount of $1,618. Such settlement amount
was paid to Kaanapali Land in partial satisfaction of the secured indebtedness noted above.
Because D/C was substantially
without assets and was unable to obtain additional sources of capital to satisfy its liabilities, D/C filed with the United States
Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Illinois, its voluntary petition for liquidation under Chapter 7 of Title 11, United
States Bankruptcy Code during July 2007, Case No. 07-12776. Such filing is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Company as D/C was substantially without assets at the time of the filing. Kaanapali Land filed claims in the D/C bankruptcy that
aggregated approximately $26,800, relating to both secured and unsecured intercompany debts owed by D/C to Kaanapali Land. In addition,
a personal injury law firm based in San Francisco that represents clients with asbestos-related claims, filed proofs of claim on
behalf of approximately two thousand claimants. While it is not likely that a significant number of these claimants have a claim
against D/C that could withstand a vigorous defense, it is unknown how the trustee will deal with these claims. It is not expected,
however, that the Company will receive any material additional amounts in the liquidation of D/C.
On or about April 28,
2015, eight litigants who filed asbestos claims in California state court (hereinafter, “Petitioners”) filed a motion
for relief from the automatic stay in the D/C bankruptcy (hereinafter “life stay motion”). Under relevant provisions
of the bankruptcy rules and on the filing of the D/C bankruptcy action, all pending litigation claims against D/C were stayed pending
resolution of the bankruptcy action. In their motion, Petitioners asked the bankruptcy court to lift the stay in the bankruptcy
court to name D/C and/or its alternate entities as defendants in their respective California state court asbestos actions and to
satisfy their claims against insurance policies that defend and indemnify D/C and/or their alternate entities. The Petitioner’s
motion to lift stay thus in part has as an objective ultimate recovery, if any, from, among other things, insurance policy proceeds
that were allegedly assets of both the D/C and Oahu Sugar bankruptcy estates. As noted above, Kaanapali, the EPA, and the Navy
are claimants in the Oahu Sugar bankruptcy and the Fireman’s Fund policies are allegedly among the assets of the Oahu Sugar
bankruptcy estate as well. For this and other reasons, Kaanapali, the EPA and the Navy opposed the motion to lift stay. After briefing
and argument, on May 14, 2015, the United States Bankruptcy Court, for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division,
in In Re D/C Distribution, LLC, Bankruptcy Case No. 07-12776, issued an order lifting the stay. In the order, the court permitted
the Petitioners to “proceed in the applicable nonbankruptcy forum to final judgment (including any appeals) in accordance
with applicable nonbankruptcy law. Claimants are entitled to settle or enforce their claims only by collecting upon any available
insurance Debtor’s liability to them in accordance with applicable nonbankruptcy law. No recovery may be made directly against
the property of Debtor, or property of the bankruptcy estate.” Kaanapali, Firemen’s Fund and the United States appealed
the bankruptcy court order lifting the stay. In March 2016, the district court reversed the bankruptcy court order finding that
the bankruptcy court did not apply relevant law to the facts in the case to arrive at a reasoned decision. On appeal the district
court noted that the law requires consideration of a number of factors when lifting a stay to permit certain claims to proceed,
including consideration of the adequacy of remaining insurance to meet claims still subject to the stay. Among other things, the
court noted that the bankruptcy court failed to explain why it was appropriate for the petitioners to liquidate their claims before
the other claimants whose claims remained subject to the stay. The district court remanded the case for further proceedings. It
is uncertain whether such further proceedings on the lift stay will take place.
The parties in the D/C
and Oahu Sugar bankruptcies have reached out to each other to determine if there is any interest in pursuing a global settlement
of the claims in the Oahu Sugar and D/C bankruptcies insofar as the Fireman’s Fund insurance policies are concerned. If such
discussions take place, they may take the form of a mediation or other format and involve some form of resolution of Kaanapali’s
interest in various of the Fireman’s Fund insurance policies for Kaanapali’s various and future insurance claims. Kaanapali
may consider entering into such discussions, but there is no assurance that such discussions will take place or prove successful
in resolving any of the claims in whole or in part.
On or about October 17,
2018, PM Land Company, LLC (“PM Land”) received a demand for arbitration of a claim allegedly involving the sale of
a lot located in the Kaanapali Coffee Farms Subdivision. The purchaser of the lot seeks unspecified damages in connection with
Claimant’s July 2016 purchase of the lot, allegedly on the basis that PM Land did not, among other things, fully and adequately
disclose the nature, source of the chronic problems associated with alleged excessive groundwater accumulation on the property.
Claimant seeks unspecified damages for, among other things, breach of contract, violation of the Uniform Land Sales Practices Act,
unfair and deceptive trade practices. Claimant seeks damages in an amount to be proven at trial, and attorneys’ fees and
costs. The parties are in the preliminary stages of the arbitration process and are discussing alternatives to arbitration. PM
Land believes it has meritorious defenses to the claim. PM Land does not presently believe that the case will result in any material
liability to PM Land; however, there are no assurances in that regard.
The Company has received
notice from Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources (“DLNR”) that DLNR on a periodic basis would inspect
all significant dams and reservoirs in Hawaii, including those maintained by the Company on Maui in connection with its agricultural
operations. A series of such inspections have taken place over the period from 2006 through the most recent inspections that occurred
in November 2016. To date, the DLNR cited certain deficiencies concerning two of the Company’s reservoirs relating to dam
and reservoir safety standards established by the State of Hawaii. These deficiencies include, among other things, vegetative overgrowth,
erosion of slopes, uncertainty of inflow control, spillway capacity, and freeboard and uncertainty of structural stability under
certain loading and seismic conditions. The Company has taken certain corrective actions as well as updating important plans to
address emergency events and basic operations and maintenance. The November 2016 inspection resulted in a notice of dam safety
deficiency requiring certain actions needing immediate attention. The Company is in the process of addressing the action items,
with the lowering of the reservoir water level the most immediate. In 2018, the Company contracted with an engineering firm to
develop plans to address certain DLNR cited deficiencies on one of the Company’s reservoirs. In 2012, the State of Hawaii
issued new Hawaii Administrative Rules for Dams and Reservoirs which require dam owners to obtain from DLNR Certificates of Impoundment
(“permits”) to operate and maintain dams or reservoirs. Obtaining such permits requires owners to completely resolve
all cited deficiencies. Therefore, the process may involve further analysis of dam and reservoir safety requirements, which will
involve continuing engagement with specialized engineering consultants, and ultimately could result in significant and costly improvements
which may be material to the Company.
The DLNR categorizes
the reservoirs as "high hazard" under State of Hawaii Administrative Rules and State Statutes concerning dam and reservoir
safety. This classification, which bears upon government oversight and reporting requirements, may increase the cost of managing
and maintaining these reservoirs in a material manner. The Company does not believe that this classification is warranted for either
of these reservoirs and has initiated a dialogue with DLNR in that regard. In April 2008, the Company received further correspondence
from DLNR that included the assessment by their consultants of the potential losses that result from the failure of these reservoirs.
In April 2009, the Company filed a written response to DLNR to correct certain factual errors in its report and to request further
analysis on whether such "high hazard" classifications are warranted. It is unlikely that the “high hazard”
designation will be changed.
Other than as described
above, the Company is not involved in any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental
to its business. The Company and/or certain of its affiliates have been named as defendants in several pending lawsuits. While
it is impossible to predict the outcome of such routine litigation that is now pending (or threatened) and for which the potential
liability is not covered by insurance, the Company is of the opinion that the ultimate liability from any of this litigation will
not materially adversely affect the Company's consolidated results of operations or its financial condition.
The Company often seeks
insurance recoveries under its policies for costs incurred or expected to be incurred for losses or claims under which the policies
might apply. While payouts from various coverages are being sought and may be recovered in the future, no anticipatory amounts
have been reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Kaanapali Land Management
Corp. (KLMC) is a party to an agreement with the State of Hawaii for the development of the Lahaina Bypass Highway. An approximate
2.4 mile portion of this two lane state highway has been completed. Construction to extend the southern terminus was completed
mid-2018. The northern portion of the Bypass Highway, which extends to KLMC’s lands, remains uncompleted. Under certain circumstances,
which have not yet occurred, KLMC remains committed for approximately $1,100 of various future costs relating to the planning and
design of the uncompleted portion of the Bypass Highway. Under certain conditions, which have not yet been met, KLMC has agreed
to contribute an amount not exceeding $6,700 toward construction costs. Any such amount contributed would be reduced by the value
of KLMC’s land actually contributed to the State for the Bypass Highway.
These potential commitments
have not been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. While the completion of the Bypass Highway would
add value to KLMC’s lands north of the town of Lahaina, there can be no assurance that it will be completed or when any future
phases will be undertaken.

As of December 31,
2018, the Company had issued and outstanding 1,792,613 Shares and 52,000 Class C Shares. The LLC Agreement initially provided for
two classes of membership interests, Class A Shares and Class B Shares, which had substantially identical rights and economic
value under the LLC Agreement; except that holders of Class A Shares were represented by a "Class A Representative" who
was required to approve certain transactions proposed by Kaanapali Land before they could be undertaken. Class B Shares were held
by Pacific Trail and various entities and individuals that are affiliated with Pacific Trail. Class A Shares were issued under
the Plan to claimants who had no such affiliation. Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the Class A Shares and Class B Shares were
automatically redesignated as Common Shares on November 15, 2007. Accordingly, the Company's Class A Shares and Class B Shares
ceased to exist separately on November 15, 2007. The Class C Shares have the same rights as the Shares except that the Class C
Shares will not participate in any distributions until the holders of the Shares have received aggregate distributions equal to
$19 per share, subject to customary antidilution adjustments. Net income per share data are based on the aggregate 1,844,613 outstanding
shares.

(11) Subsequent
Events
In December 2018, KLM entered
into a purchase, lease and remediation agreement with an unrelated third party for the sale of approximately 15 acres in Kaanapali.
The agreement, which calls for a purchase price of $1,000 and has a scheduled closing date in May 2019, is subject to investigation
and evaluation by the purchaser during the due diligence period. Additionally, subject to the property closing, KLM has agreed
to lease to the same unrelated third party approximately 24 acres of primarily Railroad Assets, as defined, and other improvements
located thereon. However, there can be no assurance that the sale and lease will be completed under the existing or any other terms.
