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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Depending upon the context, the terms the "Company," "we," "our," and "us," refer to either Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. alone, or to Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively.

Overview of the Company

Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. is a Hawaii corporation and the successor to a business organized in 1909. The Company consists of a landholding and operating parent company and its principal subsidiary, Kapalua Land Company, Ltd. and certain other subsidiaries of the Company.

The Company owns approximately 23,400 acres of land on Maui and develops, sells, and manages residential, resort, commercial, and industrial real estate through the following business segments:

† Real Estate - Our real estate operations consist of land planning and entitlement, development, and sales.

† Leasing - Our leasing activities include commercial, industrial and agricultural land and facilities leases, licensing of our registered trademarks and trade names, and stewardship and conservation efforts.

† Utilities - We operate two publicly-regulated utility companies which provide potable and non-potable water and sewage transmission services to the Kapalua Resort. In addition, we also manage ditch, reservoir and well systems which provide non-potable irrigation water to West and Upcountry Maui areas.

† Resort Amenities - Within the Kapalua Resort, we manage a full-service spa, a beach club, and a private club membership program.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of accounting estimates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Our critical accounting policies that require the use of estimates and assumptions were discussed in detail in our most recently filed Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the first three months of 2012.

There are no accounting pronouncements or interpretations that have been issued but not yet applied by us that we believe will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

The increase in consolidated revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to the January 2012 sale of an 89-acre parcel in Upcountry Maui for $1.5 million. Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 included a gain of $15.1 million recognized in March 2011 from sale of the Bay Course.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Three Months Ended

(in thousands)

General and Administrative $ 1,052 $ 2,945

The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributed to lower payroll and staff expenses, as we reduced support and other administrative functions in conjunction with the cessation of our golf, retail, and agriculture operations. Also contributing to the decline from the prior period were lower professional services costs as we continue to resolve outstanding legacy issues and reduce the size our operations.

General and administrative expenses are incurred at the corporate level and at the operating segment level. Corporate level general and administrative expenses are allocated to operating segments based on our evaluation of the level of services provided to the operating segments.

REAL ESTATE

% of consolidated revenues            34 %        8 %

Operating Income (Loss)      $     1,053    $  (162 )

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 include the January 2012 sale of an 89-acre parcel in Upcountry Maui for $1.5 million. We had no sales of real estate inventory during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The other revenues included in this operating segment were real estate commissions from Kapalua Realty Company totaling $319,000 and $293,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Real estate development and sales are cyclical and depend on a number of factors. Results for one period are therefore not necessarily indicative of future performance trends in this segment.

Water consumption and rates have remained fairly consistent between the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. In February 2012, we outsourced the management of the Kapalua Water Company and the Kapalua Waste Treatment Company to a third-party operator.

Operating Loss               $      (40 )  $   (212 )

Increased revenues during the first three months ended March 31, 2012 reflect higher spa service and treatment revenues as a result of increases in pricing and activity. The operating loss is attributed to higher personnel and repairs and maintenance costs of the spa, along with payments for the differential between member prices and agreed-upon rates for Kapalua Club member rounds at the golf courses.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Our former retail, golf and agriculture operations are reported as discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 includes a $15.1 million gain from the sale of the Bay Course (Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

At March 31, 2012, our total debt was $46.5 million, compared to $45.5 million at December 31, 2011, and we had approximately $11.6 million available under our revolving line of credit and $1.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. Of the total available under our revolving line of credit, $700,000 has been designated solely for the payment of legacy costs (Note 4 to condensed consolidated financial statements). Cash used in operating activities was $428,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2012, we had an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $5.7 million and a deficiency in stockholders' equity (total liabilities exceeded total assets) of $26.1 million.

Revolving Line of Credit with Wells Fargo

We have a $34.5 million revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo that matures on May 1, 2013. Interest rates on borrowings are at LIBOR plus 3.8% and the line of credit is collateralized by approximately 880 acres of our real estate holdings at the Kapalua


Table of Contents

Resort. The line of credit agreement contains various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. Financial covenants include a required minimum liquidity (as defined) of $4 million and maximum total liabilities of $175 million. The credit agreement includes predetermined release prices for the real property securing the credit facility and an option to extend the maturity date to May 1, 2014, upon satisfaction of certain conditions. There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolving facility.

As of March 31, 2012, we had $22.4 million of borrowings outstanding under our Wells Fargo revolving line of credit, $11.6 million available borrowing capacity and irrevocable letters of credit totaling $0.5 million that were secured by the line of credit.

Term Loan with American AgCredit

We have a $24.1 million term loan with American AgCredit that matures on May 1, 2013. The interest rate on this credit facility is based on the greater of 1.00% or the 30-day LIBOR rate, plus an applicable spread of 4.25%. The loan agreement provides for tiered reductions in the applicable spread to 3.75%, subject to corresponding reductions in the principal balance of the loan. The loan requires mandatory principal prepayments of 100% of the net proceeds of the sale of any real property pledged as collateral for the loan. It also requires tiered mandatory principal prepayments based on predetermined percentages ranging from 10% to 75% of the net proceeds from the sale of non-collateralized real property. In accordance with this provision, we made $353,000 of principal payments in January 2012 due to the real property sale discussed in Note 4 to the our condensed consolidated financial statements. The credit agreement is collateralized by approximately 3,100 acres of our real estate holdings in West Maui and Upcountry Maui. The term loan agreement contains various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. Financial covenants include a required minimum liquidity (as defined) of $4 million and maximum total liabilities of $175 million.

Operating Cash Flows

In the first three months of 2012, consolidated net cash used in operating activities was $428,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1.9 million for the first three months of 2011. Operating cash flows for the first three months of 2012 included interest payments of $543,000; compared to interest payments of $351,000 for the first three months of 2011. Cash flows for the first three months of 2012 also included $1.4 million from the sale of real estate inventory.

Investing and Financing Cash Flows

Cash provided by investing activities in the first three months of 2012 included $309,000 from the sale of various machinery and equipment. Cash provided by financing activities included net borrowings of $1.0 million. We utilized $353,000 of the proceeds from the sale of real estate inventory to repay our term loan with American AgCredit, in accordance with the terms of our credit agreement.

Future Cash Inflows and Outflows

Our ability to continue to meet our financial covenants is highly dependent on selling certain real estate assets in a difficult market. If we are unable to meet our financial covenants resulting in our loan borrowings becoming immediately due, we would not have sufficient liquidity to repay such outstanding borrowings. In addition, we are subject to several commitments and contingencies that could negatively impact our future cash flows, including purchase commitments up to $35 million related to our investment in Bay Holdings to purchase the Amenities, an EEOC matter related to our discontinued agricultural operations, and funding requirements related to our defined benefit pension plans. These matters are further described in Notes 10 and 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The aforementioned circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully achieve the initiatives discussed below in order to continue as a going concern.

In response to these circumstances, we continue to undertake significant efforts to generate cash flow by employing our real estate assets in leasing and other arrangements, by the sale of several real estate assets and by continued cost reduction efforts. As part of our credit agreement with Wells Fargo, we are allowed to use proceeds from the sale of certain properties to settle obligations related to our prior operations, instead of reducing borrowings under the line of credit as was previously required in the credit agreement. We are currently in discussions with the other members of Bay Holdings and the lenders to negotiate the terms of the purchase and sale agreement for the Amenities including the purchase and payment terms. Several financial and strategic initiatives to reduce cash commitments, to generate cash flow from a variety of sources and to further reduce our debt, including the sale of several real estate assets and cost reduction efforts. We are currently in discussions with the other members of Bay Holdings and the lenders to negotiate whether we will be required to purchase the Amenities.


Table of Contents

Contributions to our defined benefit pension plans are expected to be approximately $2.2 million in 2012.

We do not anticipate any significant capital expenditures in 2012.
