REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue to represent the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This requires the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. Operating results pertaining to the Company’s business segments are summarized in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.

A customer is distinguished from a noncustomer by the nature of the goods or services that are transferred. Customers are provided with goods or services that are generated by a company’s ordinary output activities, whereas noncustomers are provided with nonfinancial assets that are outside of a company’s ordinary output activities. This distinction may not significantly change the pattern of income recognition but determines whether that income is classified as revenue (contracts with customers) or other gains/losses (contracts with noncustomers) in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s revenue streams for the period were generated as ordinary output activities to customers as defined by the guidance and were properly classified as revenues.

The Company uses the five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires the Company to (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.

For each contract that involves variable consideration, the transaction price of the contract is considered the most likely outcome in estimating possible consideration amounts. The information used to determine the transaction price is similar to the information used in establishing prices of goods or services.

The Company is also required to determine if it controls the goods or services prior to the transfer to the customer in order to determine if it should account for the arrangement as a principal or agent. Principal arrangements, where the Company controls the goods or services provided, will result in the recognition of the gross amount of consideration expected in the exchange. Agent arrangements, where the Company simply arranges but does not control the goods or services being transferred to the customer, will result in the recognition of the net amount the Company is entitled to retain in the exchange.

Revenues from the Company’s land development and sales segment consist of sales of real estate. Revenues from sales of real estate are recognized in the period in which sufficient cash has been received, collection of the balance is reasonably assured, performance obligations have been performed and risks of ownership have passed to the buyer.

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

The construction contract for the Honokeana Homes Temporary Housing Project follows the cost to cost accounting method. Contracting revenues and expenses are proportionately recognized based on actual costs incurred in relation to reliable and updated estimates of the cost to complete the project. Project billings in excess of recognized revenues are recorded as Billings in Excess of Revenues (a deferred revenue account) project costs in excess of project billings are recorded as Costs in Excess of Billings (a deferred expense account).

Leasing revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Lease income may include certain percentage rents determined in accordance with the terms of the leases. Lease income arising from rents that are contingent upon the sales of the tenant exceeding a defined threshold are recognized only after the defined sales thresholds are achieved. Reimbursements received for real estate taxes, general excise taxes, insurance and common area maintenance expenses are recognized as revenue as provided in the underlying lease terms.

The Company elected the following practical expedients upon adoption of Accounting Standards Codification, Leases (Topic 842) (ASC Topic 842) on January 1, 2019:

●

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

●

Short-term leases practical expedient – for operating leases with a term of 12 months or less in which the Company is the lessee, this expedient allows the Company to not record on its balance sheets the related lease liabilities, taxes collected from lessees, lessor costs paid directly by lessee to a third party and right-of-use assets.

Included in leasing revenues are grants issued by the State of Hawai‘i to subsidize the conservation and preservation efforts of the Pu‘u Kukui Watershed Preserve (“PKW”). The PKW is approximately 9,000 acres of conservation zoned lands that is a primary source of water that originates on the top of the West Maui Mountains. We currently receive government assistance via two grants, the Natural Area Partnership Program (“NAPP”) Grant with the State of Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources and the State of Hawai‘i Department of Health grant entitled Treatment Train: An Ahupua‘a’s Approach to Watershed Best Practices in West Maui, Hawai‘i (“DOH Grant”). The NAPP Grant was renewed on July 1, 2023 for a six-year period. For the period from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, the NAPP Grant provided $340,000 in government funds in support of the conservation efforts by the Company. The DOH Grant for the period from April 1, 2019 to April 30, 2024 provided $1.1 million in total funds, in 2024, the final $60,000 of remaining funds were received and the grant was terminated. Actual funds received for both grants were $0.3 million for 2025 and $0.3 million in 2024.

Revenue from resort amenities consist of annual dues received from the Kapalua Club membership program. Member services include access, special programs, and other privileges at certain of the amenities at the Kapalua Resort. Annual membership dues are recognized on a straight-line basis over one year. Performance obligations for services are satisfied by relying on information received from the Company’s employees and vendors who have rendered services in accordance with the terms and conditions of the membership program.

The Company estimates expected credit losses on accounts receivable from customers by considering relevant information (past, current, and future) in assessing the collectability of cash flows. The expected credit losses of the Company’s accounts receivable are summarized in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

Economic factors affecting the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of the Company’s revenue and cash flows are identified as Risks and Uncertainties in this Note 1.

Reclassification, Comparability Adjustment [Policy Text Block]

RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR YEAR PRESENTATION

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

The Company’s provision for income taxes is calculated using the liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for all temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates enacted by law or regulation. A valuation allowance is established for deferred income tax assets if management believes that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the asset will not be realized through future taxable income.

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

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed similar to basic net income (loss) per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares from share-based compensation arrangements had been issued. Potentially dilutive shares from stock option grants to purchase common shares and non-vested restricted stock are determined using the treasury stock method. Basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding at December 31, 2025 and 2024 were 19.7 and 19.6 million, respectively.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Future actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
