TABLE OF CONTENTS

Forward Looking Statements

PART I

Item 1.  BUSINESS

Overview

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

We own approximately 23,000 acres of land on Maui and develop, sell, and manage residential, resort, commercial, agricultural and industrial real estate through the following business segments:

Additional information and operating results pertaining to the above business segments can be found under the heading “Description of Business” in this Item 1 and in Note 9 to our financial statements set forth in Item 8 of this annual report.

Description of Business

Real Estate

Our Real Estate segment includes all land planning, entitlement, development and sales activities of our landholdings on Maui. Our principal real estate development is the Kapalua Resort, a master-planned, destination resort and residential community located in West Maui encompassing approximately 3,000 acres. The following is a summary of our landholdings as of December 31, 2016:

Real Estate Planning and Entitlements – Appropriate entitlements must be obtained for land that is intended for development. Securing proper land entitlements is a process that requires obtaining county, state and federal approvals, which can take many years to complete and entails a variety of risks. The entitlement process requires that we satisfy all conditions and restrictions imposed in connection with such governmental approvals, including, among other things, construction of infrastructure improvements, payment of impact fees – for conditions such as schools, public parks and traffic mitigation – restrictions on permitted uses of the land, and provision of affordable housing. We actively work with the community, regulatory agencies, and legislative bodies at all levels of government in an effort to obtain necessary entitlements consistent with the needs of the community.

We have approximately 1,200 acres of land in Maui that are in various stages of the development process. The following is a summary of our development projects as of December 31, 2016:

We are engaged in planning, permitting and entitlement activities for our development projects, and we intend to proceed with construction and sales of the following projects, among others, when internal and external factors permit:

Projected development costs are expected to be financed by debt financing, private investment, joint ventures with other development or construction companies, or a combination of these methods.

Real Estate Sales – Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Kapalua Realty Company, Ltd., provides general brokerage services for properties in the Kapalua Resort and surrounding areas.

Revenues from our Real Estate segment totaled $37.1 million, or approximately 78% of our total operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The price and market for luxury and other real estate in Maui are highly cyclical and influenced significantly by interest rates, the general real estate markets in the mainland United States and specifically the West Coast, the popularity of Hawaii as a vacation destination and second-home market, the general condition of the economy in the United States and Asia, and the relationship of the dollar to foreign currencies. Our Real Estate segment faces substantial competition from other land owners and developers on the island of Maui, as well as in other parts of Hawaii and the mainland United States.

Leasing

Our Leasing segment operations include residential, resort, commercial, agricultural and industrial land and property leases, licensing of the Company’s registered trademarks and trade names, and stewardship and conservation efforts.

Commercial and Industrial Leases – We are the owner and lessor of approximately 240,000 square feet of commercial, retail and light industrial properties, including restaurants, retail outlets, office buildings, warehouses and Kapalua Resort activities. The following summarizes information related to our commercial and industrial leases as of December 31, 2016:

Agricultural Leases – We are the lessor of 1,900 acres of diversified agriculture land leases in West and Upcountry Maui.

Trademark and Trade Name Licensing – We currently have licensing agreements for the use of our registered Kapalua and other trademarks and trade names with several different companies, mainly in conjunction with our agricultural, commercial and industrial leases.

Stewardship and Conservation – We manage the conservation of a 9,000-acre nature and watershed preserve in West Maui. A portion of our stewardship and conservation efforts is subsidized by the State of Hawaii, the County of Maui and other organizations.

Revenues from our Leasing segment totaled $5.3 million, or approximately 11% of our total operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Our Leasing segment operations are highly sensitive to economic conditions including tourism and consumer spending levels. Our Leasing segment operations also face substantial competition from other property owners in Maui and Hawaii.

Utilities

Our Utilities segment includes the operations of our two Hawaii Public Utilities Commission-regulated subsidiaries, Kapalua Water Company, Ltd. and Kapalua Waste Treatment Company, Ltd. In addition, our Utilities segment includes the operations of several major non-potable irrigation water systems in West and Upcountry Maui.

Kapalua Water Company, Ltd. provides potable and non-potable water utility services to the Kapalua Resort, including its golf courses, hotels, residential subdivisions, commercial properties, and landscaped common areas.

Kapalua Waste Treatment Company, Ltd. provides sewage collection and transmission services for the Kapalua Resort. Waste water treatment is processed by the County of Maui’s facility in neighboring Lahaina, Maui.

Non-Potable Irrigation Water Systems – We own and operate several non-potable wells, irrigation ditches, reservoirs and transmission systems serving the Kapalua Resort, the County of Maui, and agricultural users in West and Upcountry Maui.

Revenues from our Utilities segment totaled $3.3 million, or approximately 7% of our total operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Our Utilities segment operations are primarily affected by the amount of rainfall and the level of development and volume of visitors in the Kapalua Resort. Our water and sewage system infrastructure requires periodic and ongoing maintenance, which in some cases can involve significant capital expenditures. Due to the regulated nature surrounding water sources and transmission infrastructure on Maui, our Utilities segment does not face any substantial competition.

Resort Amenities

Our Resort Amenities segment includes the operations of the Kapalua Club, a private, non-equity club providing its members special programs, access and other privileges at certain of the amenities at the Kapalua Resort including a 30,000 square foot full-service spa and a private pool-side dining beach club.

Revenues from our Resort Amenities segment totaled $1.6 million, or approximately 3% of our total operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The viability of the Kapalua Club is principally dependent on the overall appeal and success of the Kapalua Resort. The resort faces competition from other resort destination communities on Maui and other parts of Hawaii.

Employees

As of December 31, 2016, we had 17 full-time employees, none of whom are members of a collective bargaining group.

Item 1A.  RISK FACTORS

The following is a summary of certain risks we face in our business. They are not the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. In assessing these risks, investors should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in our other filings with the SEC.

Risks Related to our Business

Unstable macroeconomic market conditions could continue to materially and adversely affect our operating results.

Our operations and performance depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions. Uncertainty about global economic conditions poses a risk to our business as consumers, tourists and real estate investors postpone or reduce spending in response to tighter credit markets, energy costs, negative financial news, reduced consumer confidence, and/or declines in income or asset values, which could have a material negative effect on the demand for our products and services. Other factors that could influence demand include increases in fuel costs, conditions in the residential real estate and mortgage markets, interest rates, labor costs, access to credit on reasonable terms, geopolitical issues, and other macroeconomic factors affecting consumer spending behavior. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and services and on our financial condition and operating results.

In addition, in the event that current equity or credit market conditions deteriorate, or if our expenses increase unexpectedly, it may become necessary for us to raise additional capital in the form of a debt or equity financing, or a combination of the two. A downturn in industry, market or economic conditions could make debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly, and, in the case of an equity financing, more dilutive to our existing stockholders. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our ability to execute our current business strategy, as well as our financial performance and stock price.

Real estate investments are subject to numerous risks and we are negatively impacted by downturns in the real estate market.

We are subject to the risks that generally relate to investments in real property because we develop and sell real property, primarily for residential use. The market for real estate on Maui and in Hawaii generally tends to be highly cyclical and is typically affected by numerous changes in local, national and worldwide conditions, especially economic conditions, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

Changes in any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business by causing a more significant general decline in the market for residential or luxury real estate, which, in turn, could adversely affect our development plans, revenues and profitability. During low periods of demand, real estate may remain on hand for much longer than expected or be sold at lower than expected returns, or even at a loss, which could impair our liquidity and ability to proceed with development projects and negatively affect our operating results. Sustained adverse changes to our development plans could result in impairment charges or write-offs of deferred development costs, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, in the current economic environment, equity real estate investments may be difficult to sell quickly and we may not be able to adjust our portfolio of properties quickly in response to economic or other conditions.

Because we are located in Hawaii and therefore apart from the mainland United States, our financial results are more sensitive to certain economic factors, such as spending on tourism and increased fuel and travel costs, which may adversely impact and materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our businesses are dependent on attracting visitors to the Kapalua Resort, to Maui, and to the State of Hawaii as a whole. Economic factors that affect the number of visitors, their length of stay or expenditure levels will affect our financial performance. Factors such as the continuing worldwide economic uncertainty and weakness, the level of unemployment in Hawaii and the mainland United States, natural disasters, substantial increases in the cost of energy, including fuel costs, and events in the airline industry that may reduce passenger capacity or increase traveling costs could reduce the number of visitors to the Kapalua Resort and negatively affect a potential buyer’s demand for our future property developments, each of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the threat, or perceived threat, of heightened terrorist activity in the United States or other geopolitical events, or the spread of contagious diseases could negatively affect a potential visitor’s choice of vacation destination or second home location and as a result, have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have previously been involved in joint ventures and may be subject to risks associated with future joint venture relationships.

We have previously been involved in partnerships, joint ventures and other joint business relationships, and may initiate future joint venture projects. A joint venture involves certain risks such as:

In connection with our joint venture projects, we may be asked to guarantee the joint venture’s obligations, or to indemnify third parties in connection with a joint venture’s contractual arrangements. If we were to become obligated under such arrangements or become subject to the risks associated with joint venture relationships, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

If we are unable to complete land development projects within forecasted time and budget expectations, if at all, our financial results may be negatively affected.

We intend to develop resort and other properties as suitable opportunities arise, taking into consideration the general economic climate. New project developments have a number of risks, including risks associated with:

If any development project is not completed on time or within budget, this could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

If we are unable to obtain required land use entitlements at reasonable costs, or at all, our operating results would be adversely affected.

The financial performance of our Real Estate segment is dependent upon our success in obtaining land use entitlements for proposed development projects. Obtaining all of the necessary entitlements to develop a parcel of land is often difficult, costly and may take several years, or more, to complete. In some situations, we may be unable to obtain the necessary entitlements to proceed with a real estate development or may be required to alter our plans for the development. Delays or failures to obtain these entitlements may have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

If we are unable to successfully compete with other developers of real estate in Maui, our financial results could be materially adversely affected.

Our real estate products face significant competition from other luxury resort real estate properties on Maui, and from other residential property in Hawaii and the mainland United States. In many cases, our competitors are larger than us and have greater access to capital. If we are unable to compete with these competitors, our financial results could be materially adversely affected.

We may be subject to certain environmental regulations under which we may have additional liability and experience additional costs for land development.

Various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations regulate our properties and could make us liable for the costs of removing or cleaning up hazardous or toxic substances on, under, or in property we currently own or operate or that we previously owned or operated. These laws could impose liability without regard to whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to properly clean up such substances when present, could jeopardize our ability to develop, use, sell or rent our real property or to borrow using our real property as collateral. If we arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic wastes, we could be liable for the costs of removing or cleaning up wastes at the disposal or treatment facility, even if we never owned or operated that facility. Certain laws, ordinances and regulations, particularly those governing the management or preservation of wetlands, coastal zones and threatened or endangered species, could limit our ability to develop, use, sell or rent our real property.

Changes in weather conditions or natural disasters could adversely impact and materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Natural disasters could damage our resort and real estate holdings, resulting in substantial repair or replacement costs to the extent not covered by insurance, a reduction in property values, or a loss of revenue, each of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our competitors may be affected differently by such changes in weather conditions or natural disasters depending on the location of their assets or operations.

Unauthorized use of our trademarks could negatively impact our businesses.

We have several trademarks that we have registered in the United States and in several foreign countries. To the extent that our exclusive use of these trademarks is challenged, we intend to vigorously defend our rights. If we are not successful in defending our rights, our businesses could be adversely impacted.

Market volatility of asset values and interest rates affect the funded status of our defined benefit pension plans and could, under certain circumstances, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

We have two defined benefit pension plans which were frozen with respect to benefits and the addition of participants in 2011. The funded status and our ability to satisfy the future obligations of the plans are affected by, among other things, changes in interest rates, returns from plan asset investments, and actuarial assumptions including the life expectancies of the plans’ participants. If we are unable to adequately fund or meet our future obligations with respect to the plans, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Risks Related to Indebtedness

We have entered into a credit agreement for a $10.0 million revolving line of credit with a bank. The credit facility has a maturity date of December 31, 2019 and its terms include certain financial and operating covenants, which if we fail to satisfy, could accelerate our repayment obligations and adversely affect our operations and financial results.

The terms of our credit facility includes covenants requiring among other things, a minimum of $0.5 million in liquidity (as defined), a maximum of $45 million in total liabilities, and a limitation on new indebtedness. Our ability to continue to borrow under our credit facility to fund our business initiatives depends upon our ability to comply with these covenants.

Our business initiatives for the next twelve months include investing in our operating infrastructure and continued planning and entitlement efforts on our development projects. At times, this may require borrowing under our credit facility or other indebtedness, repayment of which may be dependent on selling of our real estate assets at acceptable prices in condensed timeframes.

Our indebtedness could have the effect of, among other things, increasing our exposure to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry, and limiting our ability to borrow additional funds.

Risks Relating to our Stock

Our stock price has been subject to significant volatility.

In 2016, the low and high share prices of our common stock ranged from $4.73 to $7.97. Our stock price has been, and may continue to be, subject to significant volatility. Among others, including the risks and uncertainties discussed in this annual report, the following factors, some of which are out of our control, may cause the market price of our common stock to continue to be volatile:

Fluctuations in the price of our common stock may also be exacerbated by economic and other conditions in Maui in particular, or conditions in the financial markets generally.

Share ownership by our affiliates make it more difficult for third parties to acquire us or effectuate a change of control that might be viewed favorably by other shareholders.

As of February 16, 2017, affiliates of our company owned, in the aggregate, approximately 65% of our outstanding shares. As a result, if these affiliates were to oppose a third party’s acquisition proposal for, or a change in control of, the Company, these affiliates may have sufficient voting power to be able to block or at least delay such an acquisition or change in control from taking place, even if other shareholders would support such a sale or change of control.

Trading in our stock over the last twelve months has been limited, so investors may not be able to sell as much stock as they want at prevailing prices.

The average daily trading volume in our common stock for the year ended December 31, 2016 was approximately 6,700 shares. If limited trading in our stock continues, it may be difficult for investors to sell their shares in the public market at any given time at prevailing prices. Moreover, the market price for shares of our common stock may be made more volatile because of the relatively low volume of trading in our common stock. When trading volume is low, significant price movement can be caused by the trading in a relatively small number of shares. Volatility in our common stock could cause stockholders to incur substantial losses.

We do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends on our common stock.

We have not declared or paid regular cash dividends on our common stock and do not plan to pay any cash dividends in the near future. Our current policy is to retain all funds and any earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. The payment of cash dividends by us is restricted by our credit facility which contains covenants prohibiting us from paying any cash dividends without the lender’s prior approval. If we do not pay dividends, our stock may be less valuable to you because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

If we do not meet the continued listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), our common stock may be delisted.

Our common stock is currently listed on the NYSE. If we are unable to maintain compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards the NYSE may take action to delist our common stock. Delisting could negatively impact us by, among other things, reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock, reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, and limiting our ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future, and might negatively impact our reputation and, as a consequence, our business. In addition, if our common stock is delisted, it would violate the covenants of our credit facility.

We may need additional funds which, if available, could result in significant dilution to our stockholders, have superior rights to our common stock and contain covenants that restrict our operations.

If unanticipated contingencies or other unforeseen circumstances arise, it may be necessary for us to raise additional capital either through public or private equity or debt financing. We cannot say with any certainty that we will be able to obtain the additional needed funds on reasonable terms, or at all. If we were to raise capital through the issuance of our common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into our common stock, our existing stockholders may suffer significant dilution. If we issued preferred equity or debt securities, these securities could have rights superior to holders of our common stock and could contain covenants that will restrict our operations. If additional funds are raised through a bank credit facility or the issuance of debt securities, the holder of such indebtedness would have rights senior to the rights of equity holders and the terms of such indebtedness could impose restrictions on our operations.

Item 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

Item 2.  PROPERTIES

Most of our land was acquired from 1911 to 1932 and, accordingly, has a relatively low cost basis. The following is a summary of our landholdings as of December 31, 2016:

Our West Maui landholdings are comprised of several, largely contiguous parcels that extend from the sea to the top of the second largest mountain on Maui, at an elevation of approximately 5,700 feet. It includes approximately 900 acres within the 3,000-acre Kapalua Resort. The remaining lands are mainly former pineapple fields, gulches, undeveloped coastal and forest areas, and our 9,000-acre conservation watershed preserve.

Our Upcountry Maui landholdings are situated at elevations between 1,000 and 2,000 feet above sea level on the slopes of Haleakala, a volcanic-formed mountain on the island that rises above 10,000 feet in elevation.

We have pledged certain of our real estate properties in the Kapalua Resort as security for borrowings under our credit facility.

We own our corporate office located in the Kapalua Resort. We believe our facilities are suitable and adequate for our business and have sufficient capacity for the purposes for which they are currently being used or intended to be used. Additional information regarding our real estate properties can be found under the heading “Business” in Item 1 of this annual report.

Item 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company has been named along with multiple parties in lawsuits filed by owners of units and fractional interests in the project formerly known as The Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, Kapalua Bay. The lawsuits were filed in the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit, State of Hawaii on May 23, 2011, June 7, 2012, and June 19, 2013. The lawsuits allege deceptive acts, intentional misrepresentation, concealment, and negligent misrepresentation, among other allegations and seek unspecified damages, treble damages and other relief. The Company disagrees with the allegations and is defending itself. The Company is presently unable to estimate the amount, or range of amounts, of any probable liability, if any, related to this matter and no provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

From time to time, we are a party to various claims, complaints and other legal actions that have arisen in the normal course of our business activities. We believe the outcome of these pending legal proceedings, in the aggregate, is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 4.  MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

PART II

Our common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “MLP.” We did not declare any dividends in 2016 or 2015. Our ability to declare dividends is restricted by the terms of our credit agreement. We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. As of February 16, 2017, there were 265 shareholders of record of our common stock.

The following chart reflects high and low sales prices during each of the quarters in 2016 and 2015:

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

None.

Repurchases

None.

Securities Authorized For Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

The information regarding securities authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans is set forth in Item 12 of this annual report.

Because we are a smaller reporting company, as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the forward-looking statements disclaimer set forth at the beginning of this annual report, the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of this annual report, and our financial statements and the notes to those statements set forth in Item 8 of this annual report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015

CONSOLIDATED 

REAL ESTATE

In December 2016, we sold a 3.4-acre property with an approximately 26,000 square foot building, commonly referred to as the Kapalua Village Center, for $18.0 million to the owner of the Kapalua Plantation and Bay Golf Courses. The Kapalua Village Center, which served as the golf clubhouse for the former Kapalua Village Golf Course, was sold without any development entitlements. The sale resulted in a gain of $12.9 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay down our First Hawaiian Bank credit facility.

In August 2016, we sold a five-acre, fully entitled 42-unit workforce housing project located in West Maui for $3.0 million. As part of the transaction, the buyer agreed to provide us with 12 residential workforce housing credits by August 2021. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $2.8 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay down our First Hawaiian Bank credit facility.

In June 2016, the Company sold a 304-acre, fully entitled working-class community project located in West Maui, commonly referred to as Pulelehua, for $15.0 million. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $14.3 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay down our former American AgCredit and Wells Fargo loans.

In September 2015, we sold the 25-acre Kapalua Golf Academy to the owner of the Kapalua Plantation and Bay Golf Courses for $12.0 million. The property was sold without any development entitlements. The sale resulted in a gain of $10.2 million. The majority of the proceeds from the sale were used to pay down our former American AgCredit and Wells Fargo loans.

Included in other operating revenues for our real estate segment are real estate sales commissions from resales of properties owned by private residents in the Kapalua Resort and surrounding areas by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Kapalua Realty Company, Ltd. Commission revenue totaled $1.1 million and $0.5 million for 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in real estate operating costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 was primarily due to costs of sales associated with the aforementioned real estate assets sold during 2016.

We did not have any significant real estate development expenditures in 2016 or 2015.

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 business segment.

LEASING

Leasing operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 were comprised of $4.5 million of leasing revenues and $0.8 million of licensing fees as compared to $5.1 million of leasing revenues and $0.4 million of licensing fees for 2015. The decrease in Leasing operating income for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the year ended December 31, 2015 was primarily due to the write-off of approximately $0.5 million of lease rent from an agricultural land and property tenant in Upcountry Maui and straight-line rent adjustments totaling approximately $0.4 million.

Our West Maui leased properties are mainly large-acre former pineapple field parcels and maintenance facilities.

Our leasing operations face substantial competition from other property owners in Maui and Hawaii.

UTILITIES

We have contracted a third-party water engineering and management company to manage the operations of our wholly-owned subsidiaries: Kapalua Water Company, Ltd. and Kapalua Waste Treatment Company, Ltd. We have contracted a third-party water maintenance company to manage our non-potable irrigation water systems in West and Upcountry Maui.

Our Utilities segment operations are primarily affected by the amount of rainfall and the level of development and volume of visitors in the Kapalua Resort. Rates charged by our Kapalua Water Company, Ltd. and Kapalua Waste Treatment Company, Ltd. subsidiaries are regulated by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission. We did not incur any significant capital or maintenance expenditures related to our Utilities segment infrastructure in 2016 or 2015.

RESORT AMENITIES

Our Resort Amenities segment includes the operations of the Kapalua Club, a private, non-equity club providing its members special programs, access and other privileges at certain of the amenities at the Kapalua Resort including a 30,000 square foot full-service spa and a private pool-side dining beach club. The Kapalua Club does not operate any resort amenities and pays contracted fees to provide access for its members to the spa, beach club and other resort amenities. The increase in operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the year ended December 31, 2015 was due to the recognition of approximately $200,000 of club membership revenues previously deferred in connection with the Company’s project formerly known as The Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, Kapalua Bay, as a result of revised projections of the estimated life of club memberships.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $1.7 million for 2016 compared to $2.5 million for 2015. Our average interest rates on borrowings was 5.08% for 2016, compared to 5.16% for 2015, and average borrowings were $30.0 million in 2016 compared to $47.4 million in 2015.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

We had cash on hand of $0.6 million and $3.1 million of available credit under a $10.0 million revolving line of credit facility with First Hawaiian Bank as of December 31, 2016.

On August 5, 2016, we refinanced our $26.4 million of outstanding bank loans under a $27.0 million revolving line of credit with First Hawaiian Bank. The credit facility matures on December 31, 2019 and provides for two optional one-year extension periods. Interest on borrowings was initially at LIBOR plus 3.75%. A significant portion of our real estate holdings were pledged as security for the credit facility. Net proceeds from the sale of any real estate assets pledged as collateral under the credit facility are required to be repaid toward outstanding borrowings and will permanently reduce the credit facility’s revolving commitment amount.

The terms of the credit facility include various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. Financial covenants include an initial minimum liquidity (as defined) of $0.5 million beginning December 31, 2016, a maximum of $45.0 million in total liabilities, and a limitation on new indebtedness. There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the credit facility.

On December 30, 2016, we sold the Kapalua Village Center for $18.0 million. The property was pledged as collateral under our credit facility and, accordingly, net proceeds from the sale of $17.6 million were repaid toward our outstanding loans at closing. In connection with the repayment, our credit facility was modified to release certain real estate assets previously pledged as security for our credit facility, including 1,065 acres of Upcountry Maui land, buildings and improvements, our 46-acre Kapalua Central Resort project, and stock of our two publicly-regulated utility companies. In addition, the credit facility’s revolving commitment amount was permanently reduced to $10.0 million and the interest rate on borrowings was reduced to LIBOR plus 3.50%.

Real estate assets currently pledged as security for our credit facility include our 800-acre Kapalua Mauka project and approximately 30,000 square feet of commercial leased space in the Kapalua Resort.

As of December 31, 2016, we were in compliance with the covenants under our First Hawaiian Bank credit facility.

Cash Flows

Net cash flow provided by our operating activities totaled $33.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Net proceeds from sales of real estate assets totaled $35.6 million, which were used principally to reduce our long-term debt by $33.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Interest payments on our long-term debt totaled $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.

We were not required to make any minimum funding contributions to our defined benefit pension plans during 2016 and we do not expect to be required to make any contributions for 2017.

Future Cash Inflows and Outflows

Our business initiatives for the next twelve months include investing in our operating infrastructure and continued planning and entitlement efforts on our development projects. At times, this may require borrowing under our credit facility or other indebtedness, repayment of which may be dependent on selling of our real estate assets at acceptable prices in condensed timeframes.

Our indebtedness could have the effect of, among other things, increasing our exposure to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry, and limiting our ability to borrow additional funds.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our accounting policies are described in “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” Note 1 to our financial statements set forth in Item 8 of this annual report. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of accounting estimates. Some of these estimates and assumptions involve a high level of subjectivity and judgment and therefore the impact of a change in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the amounts reported in our financial statements. The accounting policies and estimates that we have identified as being critical to our financial statements are as follows:

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

Most of the land we own was acquired from 1911 to 1932 and is carried at cost. At the Kapalua Resort, some of the fixed assets were constructed and placed in service in the mid-to-late 1970’s. Depreciation expense would be considerably higher if fixed assets were stated at current replacement cost.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGMENTS

As of December 31, 2016, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Item 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Because we are a smaller reporting company, as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of SEC Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc.

Lahaina, Hawaii

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2016. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two-year period ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MAUI LAND & PINEAPPLE COMPANY, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CONSOLIDATION

The financial statements include the accounts of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. and its principal subsidiary Kapalua Land Company, Ltd. and other subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The Company’s principal operations include the development, sale and leasing of real estate, water and waste transmission services, and the management of a private club membership program at the Kapalua Resort. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income includes all changes in stockholders’ deficiency, except those resulting from capital stock transactions. Comprehensive income includes adjustments to the Company’s defined benefit pension plan obligations.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

Receivables are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates future write-offs based on delinquencies, credit ratings, aging trends, and historical experience. The Company believes the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to cover anticipated losses; however, significant deterioration in any of the aforementioned factors or in general economic conditions could change these expectations, and accordingly, the Company’s financial condition and/or its future operating results could be materially impacted. Credit is extended after evaluating creditworthiness and no collateral is generally required from customers.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

Assets are classified as held for sale when management approves and commits to a plan to sell the property; the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated; the sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within one year; the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Assets held for sale are stated at the lower of net book value or estimated fair value less cost to sell.

DEFERRED DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Deferred development costs consist primarily of design, entitlement and permitting fees and real estate development costs related to various planned projects. Deferred development costs are written off if management decides that it is no longer probable that the Company will proceed with the related development project. There were no impairments in deferred development costs in 2016 or 2015.

PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION

Property is stated at cost. Major replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of an asset are charged to expense as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the property and the related accumulated depreciation are written off and the resulting gains or losses are included in income. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using the straight-line method generally over three to 40 years.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When such events or changes occur, an estimate of the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition is made. If the sum of such expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount by which the assets’ net book values exceed their fair value. These asset impairment loss analyses require management to make assumptions and apply considerable judgments regarding, among others, estimates of the timing and amount of future cash flows, expected useful lives of the assets, uncertainty about future events, including changes in economic conditions, changes in operating performance, changes in the use of the assets, and ongoing cost of maintenance and improvements of the assets, and thus, the accounting estimates may change from period to period. If management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur in future periods, the Company’s financial condition or its future operating results could be materially impacted. There were no impairment charges recorded in 2016 or 2015.

ACCRUED RETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company’s policy is to fund retirement benefit costs at a level at least equal to the minimum amount required under federal law, but not more than the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes.

The under-funded status of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans is recorded as a liability in its balance sheet and changes in the funded status of the plans are recorded in the year in which the changes occur, through comprehensive income. A pension asset or liability is recognized for the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation as of year-end.

Deferred compensation plans for certain former management employees provide for specified payments after retirement. A liability has been recognized based on the present value of estimated payments to be made.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Real estate revenues are recognized in the period in which sufficient cash has been received, collection of the balance is reasonably assured 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 income and comprehensive income. 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 income and comprehensive income.

If the sale of a real estate asset represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations, such as the discontinuance of a business segment, then the operations of the property, including any interest expense directly attributable to it, are classified as discontinued operations, and amounts for all prior periods presented are reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations. The disposal of an individual property generally will not represent a strategic shift and, therefore, will typically not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations.

Lease revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Also included in lease income are certain percentage rents determined in accordance with the terms of the leases. Lease income arising from tenant rents that are contingent upon the sales of the tenant exceeding a defined threshold are recognized only after the defined sales thresholds are achieved.

Other revenues are recognized when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES

Real estate, leasing, utilities, resort amenities, and general and administrative costs and expenses are reflected exclusive of depreciation and pension and other post-retirement expenses.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740. This interpretation prescribes 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 (Note 8).

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 income and comprehensive income and such amounts are included in income taxes payable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company accounts for share-based compensation, including grants of shares of common stock, as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the financial statements based on their fair values. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is estimated and considered in the amount recognized.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Future actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Factors that could adversely impact the Company’s future operations or financial results include, but are not limited to the following: periods of economic weakness and uncertainty in Hawaii and the mainland United States; high unemployment rates and low consumer confidence; uncertainties and changes in U.S. social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or laws and policies resulting from recent changes in the U.S. presidential administration and concerns surrounding ongoing developments in the European Union and Middle East; the general availability of mortgage financing, including the effect of more stringent lending standards for mortgages and perceived or actual changes in interest rates; risks related to the Company’s investments in real property, the value and salability of which could be impacted by the economic factors discussed above or other factors; the popularity of Maui in particular and Hawaii in general as a vacation destination or second-home market; increased energy costs, including fuel costs, which affect tourism on Maui and Hawaii generally; untimely completion of land development projects within forecasted time and budget expectations; inability to obtain land use entitlements at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner; unfavorable legislative decisions by state and local governmental agencies; the cyclical market demand for luxury real estate on Maui and in Hawaii generally; increased competition from other luxury real estate developers on Maui and in Hawaii generally; failure of future joint venture partners to perform in accordance with their contractual agreements; environmental regulations; acts of God, such as tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters; the Company’s location apart from the mainland United States, which results in the Company’s financial performance being more sensitive to the aforementioned economic risks; failure to comply with restrictive financial covenants in the Company’s credit arrangements; and an inability to achieve the Company’s short and long-term goals and cash flow requirements.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU supersedes the previous revenue recognition guidance in ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, and requires that an entity use the defined five step process to recognize revenue. The ASU also requires additional disclosures and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early implementation is not permitted. Upon adoption, the Company will have the option of retrospectively applying the guidance to each reporting period presented with certain practical expedients or retrospectively reporting the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU at the date of initial application with additional disclosure requirements. While we are still in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption on our consolidated financial statements and are currently assessing our contracts with customers, we do not currently expect a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. We anticipate we will expand our consolidated financial statement disclosures in order to comply with the new ASU.

In August 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU defers the effective date of the guidance in ASU 2014-09 by one year. As such, public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU No. 2014-09 on its financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. This ASU affects the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for leases classified as operating leases under GAAP. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for public entities, not-for-profit entities that have issued securities that are traded, listed or quoted on an exchange, and for employee benefit plans that file financial statements with the SEC. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 for public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-08 on its financial statements.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation. This ASU simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income taxes, classification of awards, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 for public business entities and after December 15, 2017 for all other entities. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-09 on its financial statements.

In April 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU clarifies the guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 for public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-10 on its financial statements.

In May 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU aims to reduce the potential for diversity in practice at initial application and to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance both at transition and on an ongoing basis. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 for public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-12 on its financial statements.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. This ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of information to inform credit loss estimates. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 for public business entities that are SEC filers. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-13 on its financial statements.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows. This ASU aims to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU will be effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-15 on its financial statements.

In October 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes. This ASU simplifies the recognition of intra-entity income tax consequences when an asset other than inventory is transferred. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 for public business entities. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-16 on its financial statements.

In November 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows-Restricted Cash. This ASU addresses the diversity in in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on December 15, 2017 for public business entities. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-18 on its financial statements.

In December 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU summarizes the various amendments that serve to clarify the Codification or to correct unintended application of guidance. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-19 on its financial statements.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This ASU clarifies the SEC staff’s view of the disclosures of impact that recently issued accounting standards will have on the financial statements when standards are adopted in a future period.

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed similar to basic net income per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares from share-based compensation arrangements had been issued.

Potentially dilutive shares arise from non-qualified stock options to purchase common stock and non-vested restricted stock. The treasury stock method is applied to determine the number of potentially dilutive shares for non-vested restricted stock and stock options assuming that the shares of non-vested restricted stock are issued for an amount based on the grant date market price of the shares and that the outstanding stock options are exercised.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015 assets held for sale consisted of the following:

None of the above assets held for sale have been pledged as collateral under the Company’s credit facility.

In December 2016, the Company sold a 3.4-acre property with an approximately 26,000 square foot building, commonly referred to as the Kapalua Village Center, for $18.0 million to the owner of the Kapalua Plantation and Bay Golf Courses. The Kapalua Village Center, which served as the golf clubhouse for the former Kapalua Village Golf Course, was sold without any development entitlements. The sale resulted in a gain of $12.9 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay down the Company’s long-term debt.

In August 2016, the Company sold a five-acre, fully entitled 42-unit workforce housing project located in West Maui for $3.0 million. As part of the transaction, the buyer agreed to provide the Company with 12 residential workforce housing credits by August 2021. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $2.8 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay down the Company’s long-term debt.

In June 2016, the Company sold a 304-acre, fully entitled working-class community project located in West Maui, commonly referred to as Pulelehua, for $15.0 million. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $14.3 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay down the Company’s long-term debt.

In September 2015, we sold the 25-acre Kapalua Golf Academy to the owner of the Kapalua Plantation and Bay Golf Courses for $12.0 million. The property was sold without any development entitlements. The sale resulted in a gain of $10.2 million. The majority of the proceeds from the sale were used to pay down the Company’s long-term debt.

Land

Most of the Company’s 23,000 acres of land were acquired between 1911 and 1932 and is carried in its balance sheets at cost. Approximately 21,000 acres of land are located in West Maui and comprise a largely contiguous parcel that extends from the sea to an elevation of approximately 5,700 feet. This parcel includes approximately 900 acres within the Kapalua Resort’s 3,000 acres. The Company’s remaining 2,000 acres of land are located in Upcountry Maui in an area commonly known as Hali’imaile and are mainly comprised of leased agricultural fields, including processing and maintenance facilities.

Land Improvements

Land improvements are comprised primarily of roads, utilities, and landscaping infrastructure improvements at the Kapalua Resort. Also included is the Company’s potable and non-potable water system in West Maui. The majority of the Company’s land improvements were constructed and placed in service in the mid-to-late 1970’s. Depreciation expense would be considerably higher if these assets were stated at current replacement cost.

Buildings

Buildings are comprised of restaurant, retail and light industrial spaces located at the Kapalua Resort and Hali’imaile which are used in the Company’s leasing operations. The majority of the buildings were constructed and placed in service in the mid-to-late 1970’s. Depreciation expense would be considerably higher if these assets were stated at current replacement cost.

Machinery and Equipment

Machinery and equipment are mainly comprised of zipline course equipment installed in 2008 at the Kapalua Resort and used in the Company’s leasing operations. Also included are machinery and equipment used in the Company’s utilities operations.

Long-term debt at December 31, 2016 and 2015 consisted of the following:

FIRST HAWAIIAN BANK

On August 5, 2016, the Company refinanced its $26.4 million of outstanding bank loans under a $27.0 million revolving line of credit with First Hawaiian Bank. The credit facility matures on December 31, 2019 and provides for two optional one-year extension periods. Interest on borrowings was initially at LIBOR plus 3.75%. A significant portion of the Company’s real estate holdings were pledged as security for the credit facility. Net proceeds from the sale of any real estate assets pledged as collateral under the credit facility are required to be repaid toward outstanding borrowings and will permanently reduce the credit facility’s revolving commitment amount.

The terms of the credit facility include various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. Financial covenants include an initial minimum liquidity (as defined) of $0.5 million beginning December 31, 2016, a maximum of $45.0 million in total liabilities, and a limitation on new indebtedness. There are no commitment fees on the unused portion of the credit facility.

On December 30, 2016, the Company sold the Kapalua Village Center for $18.0 million. The property was pledged as collateral under the credit facility and, accordingly, net proceeds from the sale of $17.6 million were repaid toward the Company’s outstanding loans at closing. In connection with the repayment, the credit facility was modified to release certain real estate assets previously pledged as security for the credit facility including, 1,065 acres of Upcountry Maui land, buildings and improvements, the Company’s 46-acre Kapalua Central Resort project, and stock of the Company’s two publicly-regulated utility companies. In addition, the credit facility’s revolving commitment amount was permanently reduced to $10.0 million and the interest rate on borrowings was reduced to LIBOR plus 3.50%.

At December 31, 2016, real estate assets pledged as security for the credit facility include the Company’s 800-acre Kapalua Mauka project and approximately 30,000 square feet of commercial leased space in the Kapalua Resort.

The Company believes that it is in compliance with the covenants under the credit facility as of December 31, 2016.

The Company leases land primarily to agriculture operators and space in commercial buildings, primarily to restaurant and retail tenants through 2034. These operating leases generally provide for minimum rents and, in some cases, licensing fees and percentage rentals based on tenant revenues. In addition, the leases generally provide for reimbursement of common area maintenance and other expenses. Total rental income under these operating leases was as follows:

Property at December 31, 2016 and 2015 includes leased property of $29.3 million and $38.9 million, respectively (before accumulated depreciation of $15.0 million and $18.5 million, respectively).

Future minimum rental income receivable during the next five years and thereafter is as follows:

Accrued Retirement Benefits at December 31, 2016 and 2015 consisted of the following:

The Company has two defined benefit pension plans which cover substantially all of its former bargaining and non-bargaining full-time, part-time and intermittent employees. In 2011, pension benefits under both plans were frozen. The Company also has unfunded non-qualified retirement plans covering twelve of its former executives. The non-qualified retirement plans were frozen in 2009 and future vesting of additional benefits was discontinued.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, participants who had terminated employment and had not started to collect their pension benefits were offered a limited-time opportunity to take their benefits as a one-time lump sum payment. The offer was extended to approximately 500 participants of which 325 participants elected to take the one-time lump sum payment. In total, approximately $9.3 million lump sum payments were paid out of the trust for the defined benefit pension plan settlements.
