NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.   CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc. (the "Company") and entities in which the Company owns a majority voting interest or controlling financial interest. All material transactions and balances with consolidated and unconsolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation or as required under the equity method.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT 
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 141R, Business Combinations (“FAS 141R”), Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“FAS 160”), Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 07-1 (“EITF 07-1”), Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements, EITF Issue No. 08-6, Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations (“EITF 08-6”), EITF Issue No. 08-7, Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets (“EITF 08-7”) and FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”).

FAS 141R expands the scope of acquisition accounting to all transactions under which control of a business is obtained. This standard requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date fair values with limited exceptions. Additionally, FAS 141R requires that contingent consideration as well as contingent assets and liabilities be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date, that acquired in-process research and development be capitalized and recorded as intangible assets at the acquisition date, and also requires transaction costs and costs to restructure the acquired company be expensed. Transactions are now being accounted for under this standard. On April 1, 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, which is effective January 1, 2009, and amends the guidance in FAS 141R to require that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can reasonably be estimated. If the acquisition date fair value of an asset acquired or liability assumed that arises from a contingency cannot be determined, the asset or liability would be recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (“FAS 5”), and FASB Interpretation No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss. If the fair value is not determinable and the FAS 5 criteria are not met, no asset or liability would be recognized.

FAS 160 provides guidance for the accounting, reporting and disclosure of noncontrolling interests and requires, among other things, those noncontrolling interests be recorded as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this standard resulted in the reclassification of $4,165,802 of Minority Interests (now referred to as noncontrolling interests) to a separate component of Stockholders’ Equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is now shown separately from parent net income in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Prior periods have been restated to reflect the presentation and disclosure requirements of FAS 160.

EITF 07-1 defines collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements for transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and third parties. The effect of adoption of EITF 07-1 was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities to allow for a better understanding of their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Among other things, FAS 161 requires disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and associated gains and losses in a tabular format (see Note 7). Since FAS 161 requires only additional disclosures about the Company’s derivatives and hedging activities, the adoption of FAS 161 did not affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle holders to receive no forfeitable dividends before they vest will be considered participating securities and included in the earnings per share calculation pursuant to the two class method. The effect of adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 was not material to the Company’s results of operations.
EITF 08-6, which is effective January 1, 2009, clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments and is applied on a prospective basis to future transactions.
EITF 08-7, which is effective January 1, 2009, clarifies that a defensive intangible asset (an intangible asset that the entity does not intend to actively use, but intends to hold to prevent others from obtaining access to the asset) should be accounted for as a separate unit of accounting and should be assigned a useful life that reflects the entity’s consumption of the expected benefits related to the asset. EITF 08-7 is applied on a prospective basis to future transactions.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The FASB recently issued Staff Position FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP FAS 157-4”), Staff Position FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (“FSP FAS 115-2/124-2”) and Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1”).

Under FSP FAS 157-4, if an entity determines that there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability in relation to the normal market activity for the asset or liability (or similar assets or liabilities), then transactions or quoted prices may not accurately reflect fair value. In addition, if there is evidence that the transaction for the asset or liability is not orderly, the entity shall place little, if any, weight on that transaction price as an indicator of fair value. Since FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, the Company will adopt the provisions of FSP FAS 157-4 during the second quarter of 2009 and is currently assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

FSP FAS 115-2/124-2 changes existing guidance for determining whether debt securities are other-than-temporarily impaired and replaces the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. FSP FAS 115-2/124-2 requires entities to separate an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security into two components when there are credit related losses associated with the impaired debt security for which management asserts that it does not have the intent to sell the security, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. The amount of the other-than-temporary impairment related to a credit loss is recognized in earnings, and the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment related to other factors is recorded in other comprehensive loss. Since FSP FAS 115-2/124-2 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, the Company will adopt the provisions of FSP FAS 115-2/124-2 during the second quarter of 2009 and is currently assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 requires disclosures about fair values of financial instruments in interim and annual financial statements. Prior to the issuance of FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1, disclosures about fair values of financial instruments were only required to be disclosed annually. FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim and annual financial statements. Since FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, the Company will adopt FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 in the second quarter 2009. Since FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 requires only additional disclosures of fair values of financial instruments in interim financial statements, the adoption will not affect the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

4.   INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Investments in marketable securities consist primarily of large capital corporate equity and debt securities in varying industries or issued by government agencies with readily determinable fair values. These securities are stated at market value, as determined by the most recent traded price of each security at the balance sheet date.  Consistent with the Company's overall current investment objectives and activities its entire marketable securities portfolio is classified as trading.

Net realized and unrealized loss from investments in marketable securities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 is summarized below:

    (100,000 )     (157,000 )
Total net loss from investments in marketable securities
  $ (160,000 )   $ (188,000 )
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2009 net realized loss from sales of marketable securities of approximately $60,000 consisted of approximately $96,000 of gross losses net of $36,000 of gross gains. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 net realized loss from sales of marketable securities of approximately $31,000 consisted of approximately $108,000 of gross losses net of $77,000 of gross gains.

Investment gains and losses on marketable securities may fluctuate significantly from period to period in the future and could have a significant impact on the Company's net earnings. However, the amount of investment gains or losses on marketable securities for any given period has no predictive value and variations in amount from period to period have no practical analytical value.

5.   OTHER INVESTMENTS
As of March 31, 2009, the Company’s portfolio of other investments had an aggregate carrying value of $3.6 million.  The Company has committed to fund an additional $1.0 million as required by agreements with the investees.  The carrying value of these investments is equal to contributions less distributions and loss valuation adjustments.  During the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company contributed approximately $89,000 toward these commitments and received cash distributions from these investments of $255,000 primarily from the liquidation of one stock fund.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009 cash distributions of $244,000 were received from the redemption of a stock fund.  This distribution was recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. There was no other significant activity relating to the Company’s other investments during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

6.  INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACT
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through its borrowing activities.  In order to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap contract under which the Company agrees to pay an amount equal to a specified rate of 7.57% times a notional principal approximating the outstanding loan balance, and to receive in return an amount equal to 2.45% plus the one-month LIBOR Rate times the same notional amount.  The Company designated this interest rate swap contract as a cash flow hedge.  As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the fair value (net of 50% minority interest) of the cash flow hedge was a loss of approximately $974,000 and $1,078,000, respectively, which has been recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) and will be reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

7. FAIR VALUE INSTRUMENTS
 
In accordance with SFAS 157, the Company measures cash equivalents, marketable securities, other investments and interest rate swap contract at fair value. Our cash equivalents, marketable securities and interest rate swap contract are classified within Level 1 or Level 2. This is because our cash equivalents, marketable securities and interest rate swap are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. Our other investments are classified within Level 3 because they are valued using valuation models which use some inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity and are significant.

9.  INCOME TAXES
We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
     
Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our consolidated financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of March 31, 2009.
     
We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the consolidated financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.

Item 2.          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company reported a net loss attributable to HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc. of approximately $246,000 ($.24 per share) and $255,000 ($.25 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

REVENUES
Rentals and related revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared with the same period in 2008 increased by $46,000 (11%).

Monty’s dockage and related revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 decreased by approximately $22,000 or 7% as the result of the general decline in marina and related activity experienced industry wide. Marina expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 remained consistent with the exception of other expenses which increased by approximately $11,000 (or 90%) primarily due to increased utilities expenses as a result of decreased electrical pass through charges to marina tenants due to decline in dockage rentals.

Spa operations:
Below are summarized statements of income for Grove Isle spa operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.  The Company owns 50% of the Grove Isle Spa with the other 50% owned by an affiliate of Grand Heritage, the tenant of the Grove Isle Resort:

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Spa revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared with the same period in 2008 decreased by $84,000 (or 38%) due to a decline in hotel guests and demand for spa services.

Net realized and unrealized  loss from investments in marketable securities:
Net realized and unrealized loss from investments in marketable securities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $160,000 and $188,000, respectively.  For further details refer to Note 4 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Net income from other investments:
Net income from other investments for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $19,000 and $32,000, respectively.  For further details refer to Note 5 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

EXPENSES
Expenses for rental and other properties for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $198,000 and $133,000, respectively.  This increase of $65,000 (or 49%) was primarily due to increased repairs and maintenance at Grove Isle in connection with the change of tenants which occurred in November 2008.

For comparisons of all food and beverage related expenses refer to Restaurant Operations (above) summarized statement of income for Monty’s restaurant.

For comparisons of all marina related expenses refer to Marina Operations (above) for summarized and combined statements of income for marina operations.

For comparisons of all spa related expenses refer to Spa Operations (above) for summarized statements of income for spa operations.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $280,000 and $355,000, respectively.  This decrease of $75,000 (or 21%) was primarily due to decreased interest rates.


EFFECT OF INFLATION:
Inflation affects the costs of operating and maintaining the Company's investments.  In addition, rentals under certain leases are based in part on the lessee's sales and tend to increase with inflation, and certain leases provide for periodic adjustments according to changes in predetermined price indices.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL EXPENDITURE REQUIREMENTS AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's material commitments in 2009 primarily consist of maturities of debt obligations of approximately $4.2 million and commitments to fund private capital investments of approximately $1 million due upon demand.  The funds necessary to meet these obligations are expected to be available from the proceeds of sales of properties or investments, refinancing, distributions from investments and available cash. The maturing debt obligations for 2009 primarily consists of the note payable to the Company’s 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“TGIF”) of approximately $3.7 million which is due on demand.  The obligation due to TGIF will be paid with funds available from distributions from the Company’s investment in TGIF and from available cash.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

MATERIAL COMPONENTS OF CASH FLOWS
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $216,000. This was primarily from the Company’s rental operations cash flow.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $79,000. This consisted primarily of approximately $290,000 in net proceeds from sales of marketable securities and distributions from other investment of $255,000.  These sources of funds were partially offset by purchases of marketable securities of $280,000, additions to loans receivable of $100,000 and contributions to other investments of $89,000.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $187,000 consisting of repayments of mortgage notes payable.
