KAANAPALI LAND, LLC
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(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 accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kaanapali Land and all of its subsidiaries and its predecessors (collectively, the “Company”), which include KLC Land and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Kaanapali Coffee Farms Lot Owners’ Association is consolidated into the accompanying condensed 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.
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 Company also cultivates, harvests and sells bananas and citrus fruits and engages in certain ranching operations. 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.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements, and therefore, should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No. 0-50273) for the year ended December 31, 2021. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this quarterly report have the same meanings as in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Property
The Company's significant
property holdings are on the island of Maui consisting of approximately
| 9 |
Inventory of land held for sale,
of approximately $
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.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved in future periods.
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 as of March 31,
2022 is a money market fund for $
Revenue Recognition
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, the Company has no remaining performance obligation.
Other revenues are recognized when control of goods or services transfers to the customers, in the amount that the Company expects to receive for the transfer of goods or provision of services.
Revenue recognition standards require 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 standards have implications for all revenues, excluding those that are under the specific scope of other accounting standards.
| 10 |
The Company’s revenues that were subject to revenue recognition standards for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in thousands):
|
Three Months Ended March 31, |
|||||
| 2022 | 2021 | ||||
| Sales of real estate | $ | $ | |||
| Coffee and other crop sales | |||||
| Total | $ | $ | |||
The revenue recognition standards require the use of a 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.
Lease Accounting
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 Leases (ASU 2016-02). Accounting Standards Update (“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. Subsequently, the FASB issued additional ASUs that further clarified the original ASU. The ASUs became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. Upon adoption of the lease ASUs, the Company elected the practical expedients allowable under the ASUs, which included the optional transition method permitting January 1, 2019 to be its initial application date. The adoption of this guidance did not result in an adjustment to retained earnings. Additionally, the Company elected the package of practical expedients, which permits the Company not to reassess expired or existing contracts continuing a lease, the lease classification for expired or existing contracts, and initial direct costs for any existing leases. Further, the Company elected the practical expedient regarding short-term leases, which allows lessees to elect not to apply the balance sheet recognition requirements in ASC 842 to short-term leases. Finally, under ASC 842, lessors are required to continually assess collectability of lessee payments, and, if operating lease payments are not probable of collection, to only recognize into income the lesser of (i) straight-line rental income or (ii) lease payments received to date. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s lease arrangements,
both as lessor and as lessee, are short-term leases. The Company leases land to tenants under operating leases, and the Company leases
property, primarily office and storage space, from lessors under operating leases. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and
2021, the Company recognized $
| 11 |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, 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 for public companies except for smaller reporting companies whose effective date will be periods beginning after December 15, 2022. While the Company is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of this update will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements, no significant impact is anticipated.
In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (ASU 2020-04) which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuance of LIBOR or another referenced rate. ASU 2020-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2022. While the Company is currently evaluating the effect that the implementation of this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements, no significant impact is anticipated.
(2) 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, originally consisted of

(4) Employee Benefit Plans
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 Company’s Pension
Plan has excess assets of approximately $
The components of the net periodic pension benefit (credit), included in selling, general and administrative in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

and recognizes changes in its funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. Included in

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the
“Act”) repealed the corporate AMT and provided that prior AMT credits would be refundable. Any remaining AMT credit amount
became refundable incrementally from 2018 through 2021. The CARES Act accelerated the refund schedule, enabling the Company to claim the
refund in full. In February and July 2021, the Company received $
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 NOL carryforwards which will generally be limited to being used to offset 80% of future annual taxable income.
(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 unaffiliated third parties.
The Company reimburses its 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,
900Work, 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 condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $
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

| 14 |
(7) Commitments and Contingencies
At March 31, 2022, 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.
Two former subsidiaries, Oahu Sugar Company, LLC (“Oahu Sugar”) and D/C Distribution Corporation (“D/C”), filed petitions for liquidation under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code in April 2005 and July 2007, respectively, as described below. On December 17, 2019, the Oahu Sugar bankruptcy case was closed. As a consequence of the Chapter 7 filing, D/C has not been under control of the Company since the bankruptcy filing.
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 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 notified both the Navy and 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 purported 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.
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 in April 2005, its voluntary petition for liquidation under Chapter 7 of Title 11, United States Bankruptcy Code. Such filing was 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 was not believed that any other affiliates had any responsibility for the debts of Oahu Sugar, EPA made a claim against Kaanapali Land as further described below.
| 15 |
Prior to the claims filing
deadline, Kaanapali Land, on behalf of itself and certain subsidiaries, filed claims that aggregated approximately $
With regard to the alleged Waipio Penisula alleged environmental issues, 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 Waipio site. Kaanapali Land responded to these requests for information. By letter dated February 7, 2007, pursuant to an allegation that Kaanapali Land was a successor to Oahu Sugar Company, Limited, a company that operated at the site prior to 1961 ("Old Oahu"), EPA advised Kaanapali that it believed it was 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 EPA's position was that Kaanapali Land, by virtue of certain corporate actions, was jointly and severally responsible for the performance of the response actions, including, without limitation, clean-up at the site. No such amendment was made. Instead, after a series of discussions between Kaanapali and EPA, on or about September 30, 2009, 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 consisted 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 appeared to be further predicated primarily on the alleged connection of Kaanapali Land to Old Oahu and its activities on the site. Kaanapali Land engaged in 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 believed that its liability, if any, should have related 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 believed that the U.S. Navy bore 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 believed that the cost of the work as set forth in the pending order would not have been material to the Company as a whole; however, in the event that EPA were to issue an order requiring remediation of the site, the Company gave no assurances that the cost of said remediation would not ultimately have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the Company believed that if there were litigation regarding the site, there could be no assurances that the cost of such litigation would not be material or that such litigation would result in a judgment in favor of the Company. Kaanapali and the EPA exchanged comments
| 16 |
relative to further studies to be performed at the site, including a possible ecological risk assessment. After years of performing work at the site, the parties engaged in discussions to resolve the matter. The matter was ultimately resolved pursuant to the Consent Decree set forth below.
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 might incur in connection with the Waipio site. In the five-count complaint, the Company sought, 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 sought 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. This litigation was settled and dismissed with prejudice pursuant to an agreement between Fireman’s Fund and the Company dated on or about November 24, 2021 (“Insurance Settlement”). The dismissal order was entered on March 31, 2022.
Under the Insurance
Settlement Fireman’s Fund paid $
On April 16, 2021, the U.S. Department
of Justice and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, on behalf of various federal agencies of the United States of America, executed
a Consent Decree with Kaanapali Land, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) that, if entered by the U.S.
District Court sitting in the District of Hawaii, United States of America v. Kaanapali Land, and Oahu Sugar Company, LLC Case No. 1:21-CV-00190,
resolved the U.S. federal government’s current environmental claims against the Company with respect to contamination at the former
mixing site on Waipio Peninsula on Oahu in Hawaii that had been leased by Oahu Sugar Company LLC, a former subsidiary of the Company.
In return for payments by the Company totaling $

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 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 pay settlements or judgments in the Kaanapali Land asbestos cases due to then pending 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 barred Fireman’s Fund from making any payments to resolve the Kaanapali Land asbestos
claims because D/C Distribution was also alleging a right to coverage under those policies for asbestos claims against it. However,
in the interim, Fireman’s Fund advised that it intended to continue to pay defense costs for those cases, subject to whatever
reservations of rights that might be in effect and subject further to the policy terms. Fireman’s Fund also indicated that to
the extent that Kaanapali Land cooperated with Fireman’s Fund in addressing settlement of the Kaanapali Land asbestos cases
through coordination with its adjusters, it was Fireman’s Fund’s 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 and Fireman’s Fund entered into a settlement agreement on or about
November 24, 2021 whereby Fireman’s Fund paid $2,441 for certain listed Kaanapali Land asbestos cases upon a Final Order of
the D/C bankruptcy court lifting the automatic stay to allow the payments. The D/C court issued the lift-stay order on March 1,
2022. On April 12, 2022, the Company received $
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
| 18 |
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 $
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 $
On January 21, 2020, certain asbestos claimants filed a Stay Relief Motion in the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, Case No. 07-12776 (“motion to lift stay”) in connection with the D/C proceeding. The motion sought the entry of an order, among other things, modifying the automatic stay in the D/C bankruptcy to permit those claimants to prosecute various lawsuits in state courts against D/C Distribution, LLC, and to recover on any judgment or settlement solely from any available insurance coverage. Various oppositions to the motion to lift stay were filed, and the matter was heard and taken under advisement in April 2020. On July 21, 2020, the bankruptcy court issued an order granting the motion to lift stay to permit the movants to pursue their claims and to recover any judgment or settlement from and to the extent of any available insurance coverage of D/C Distribution, LLC, only.
The bankruptcy trustee for D/C is now in the process of closing the bankruptcy case. All of the asbestos-related proofs claims filed by the San Francisco personal injury firm in the bankruptcy case have been withdrawn in connection with closing. There is a small amount of money on-hand for possible distribution on closing. Although D/C will no longer have any assets after the trustee’s final distribution and closing of the case, there is no guaranty that personal injury claimants will not assert asbestos-related claims against D/C in the future.

The Company has received notice from Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources (“DNLR”) that DNLR 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 July 2021. To date, the DLNR has 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, including lowering the reservoir operating level; as well as updating important plans to address emergency events and basic operations and maintenance. 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.
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, is in the early stage of planning. Under certain circumstances, which
have not yet occurred, KLMC remains committed for approximately $
| 20 |
These potential commitments have not been reflected in the accompanying condensed 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.
Economic uncertainty relating to COVID-19 continues and the effects of an improving economy could be negatively impacted by surges in COVID-19 and new variants, the administration and effectiveness of vaccines and government responses to future developments as well as supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and rising inflation. A resurgence of COVID-19 or the emergence of new, significant variants, could negatively impact the Maui real estate market, which could negatively impact the Company’s results and financial position.

Part I. Financial Information
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
In addition to historical information, this Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management's current expectations about its businesses and the markets in which the Company operates. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties or other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Actual operating results may be affected by various factors including, without limitation, changes in international, national and Hawaiian economic conditions, competitive market conditions, uncertainties and costs related to the imposition of conditions on receipt of governmental approvals and costs of material and labor, the effect of the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, and actual versus projected timing of events all of which may cause such actual results to differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in this report.
Certain subsidiaries of Kaanapali Land are jointly indebted to Kaanapali Land pursuant to a certain Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $70 million, dated November 14, 2002, and due September 30, 2029, as extended. Such note had an outstanding balance of principal and accrued interest as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 of approximately $90 million and $91 million, respectively. The interest rate currently is 0.39% 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.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $20 million and $17 million, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which is available for, among other things, working capital requirements, including future operating expenses, and the Company's obligations for engineering, planning, regulatory and development costs, drainage and utilities, environmental remediation costs on existing and former properties, potential liabilities resulting from tax audits, and existing and possible future litigation. The Company does not anticipate making any distributions for the foreseeable future.
The primary business of Kaanapali Land is the investment in and development of the Company's assets on the Island of Maui. The various development plans will take many years at significant expense to fully implement. Proceeds from land sales are the Company's only source of significant cash proceeds and the Company's ability to meet its liquidity needs is dependent on the timing and amount of such proceeds.
The Company's operations have in recent periods been primarily reliant upon the net proceeds of sales of developed and undeveloped land parcels.

Kaanapali Land and Fireman’s Fund entered into a settlement agreement on or about November 24, 2021, whereby Fireman’s Fund, the carrier that had been paying defense costs and settlements for the Kaanapali Land asbestos cases, would pay $2.4 million for certain listed Kaanapali Land asbestos cases upon a Final Order of the D/C bankruptcy court lifting the automatic stay to allow the payments. The D/C court issued the lift-stay order on March 1, 2022. On April 12, 2022, the Company received $2.4 million as reimbursement for the various settlements Kaanapali made that were subject to the lift-stay order of March 1, 2022. Reference is made to Note 7 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further discussion of this matter.
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 $3.3 million, paid in cash at closing. The agreement (as subsequently amended) commits KLMC to fund up to $0.6 million, depending on various factors, for off-site roadway, sewer and electrical improvements that will also provide service to other KLMC properties. Although certain offsite construction has begun at the site, the commitment remains outstanding as construction of such improvements does not yet trigger such funding. The 14.9 acre site is intended to be used for a critical access hospital, skilled nursing facility, assisted living facility, and independent living facility.
The Company is in the planning stages for the development of a 295-acre parcel in the region mauka of the Kaanapali Coffee Farms (“KCF Mauka”). The parcel is to be comprised of 61 agricultural lots that will be offered to individual buyers. The Company expects to develop the parcel in phases and all phases have been submitted to the County for subdivision approval. The Company is working with the County to resolve certain of the County’s comments relating to the subdivision. Upon final subdivision approval and receipt of final plat of the first phase from the County, which requires a bond in the amount of the cost to develop the first phase, the Company can pre-sell the undeveloped lots in the first phase. The Company expects to market the lots in the first phase upon receiving final approvals from the County of Maui, subject to various contingencies, including, but not limited to, governmental and market factors and the availability of a bond to secure the first phase of the development. Therefore, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to meet such timetable, that the subdivision will ultimately be approved or that the lots will sell for prices deemed advantageous by the Company.
In January 2021, the Company entered into agreements with an unrelated third party for that third party to prepare plans to develop Puukolii Village Mauka and another subdivision on the Company’s property. The plans are to include development segments and timeline, offsite and onsite infrastructure, construction cost analysis, proposed budgets and proforma financial statements. If after discussion and negotiation the Company and the third party are unable to agree on the plans, then either the Company or the third party may terminate the agreements. Such discussions are ongoing.
At a public meeting on January 18, 2022, the staff of the State of Hawaii Commission on Water Resource Management (“CWRM”) presented an informational briefing on the “Designation of the Lahaina Aquifer Section; Maui as a Surface Water and Ground Water Management Area” as recommended by the Chair of the Commission. The Commission’s primary responsibilities are to implement and administer the State Water Code by planning, surveying, regulating, enforcing, and conserving the State’s water resources. This includes regulating the use of water resources in water management areas. At its meeting on February 15, 2022, the Commissioners of CWRM unanimously voted to accept the Chairperson’s recommendation. The next step in the designation process is for CWRM to hold public hearings on the recommended designation. The proposed designation would regulate the surface and groundwaters supplying the Company’s irrigation systems that take water from streams, development tunnels, and wells. The Company is evaluating the potential effects, if any, this designation may have on its agricultural operations and developments. Further, the Company continues to respond to CWRM to set forth its views on the proposed designation and prepares for CWRM’s further action.

The Company’s Pension Plan has excess assets of approximately $20 million. On January 15, 2022, Pacific Trail Holdings LLC, the manager of the Company, adopted a plan to freeze the benefit accruals under and close participation in the Pension Plan and terminate the Pension Plan on or about June 1, 2022. Effective February 7, 2022, the Level 1 and Level 2 plan asset investments were reallocated to a money market fund. After distribution of Pension Plan benefits to participants, remaining surplus Pension Plan assets are expected to be distributed from the Pension Plan in accordance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended) by certain regulatory deadlines.
Although the Company does not currently believe that it has significant liquidity problems over the near term, should the Company be unable to satisfy its liquidity requirements from its existing resources and future property sales, it will likely pursue alternate financing arrangements. However it cannot be determined at this time what, if any, financing alternatives may be available and at what cost.
Economic uncertainty relating to COVID-19 continues and the effects of an improving economy could be negatively impacted by surges in COVID-19 and new variants, the administration and effectiveness of vaccines and government responses to future developments as well as supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and rising inflation. A resurgence of COVID-19 or the emergence of new, significant variants, could negatively impact the Maui real estate market, which could negatively impact the Company’s results and financial position.
Results of Operations
Reference is made to the footnotes to the financial statements for additional discussion of items addressing comparability between years.
Property, net decreased as of March 31, 2022 due to the sale of a lot during first quarter 2022.
The decrease in other assets at March 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021 is primarily due to insurance recoveries related to the Waipio site received in March 2022, offset by insurance recoveries receivable related to asbestos claims.
The decrease in other liabilities at March 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021 is due to the reversal of a contingency reserve pursuant to the settlement payment made in March 2022 related to the Waipio site.
The increase in sales and the related increase in costs of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 is primarily due to sale of one lot during the first quarter 2022, as compared to no lot sales during the first quarter 2021.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 is due to the insurance recoveries related to asbestos claims offset by the adjustment of the loss contingency during first quarter 2021.

Inflation
As a result of increasing signs of inflation in recent months, the Federal Reserve approved a .25% rate increase in March 2022 and a .5% rate increase in May 2022.
High rates of inflation may adversely affect real estate development generally because of their impact on interest rates. High interest rates not only increase the cost of borrowed funds to the Company, but can also have a significant effect on the affordability of permanent mortgage financing to prospective purchasers. However, high rates of inflation may permit the Company to increase the prices that it charges in connection with real property sales, subject to general economic conditions affecting the real estate industry and local market factors.
Critical Estimates and Significant Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances; additionally management evaluates these results on an on-going basis. Management's estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Different estimates could be made under different assumptions or conditions, and in any event, actual results may differ from the estimates. The impact of a change in these estimates, assumptions, and judgments could materially affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures. The principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the Company have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer/principal financial officer has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and form of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Internal control over financial reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the first quarter of 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
