HMG/COURTLAND PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


1.  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

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

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FIN 48-1, or “FSP FIN 48-1,” which clarifies when a tax position is considered settled under FIN 48. The FSP explains that a tax position can be effectively settled on the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without legally being extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if (1) the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained solely on the basis of its technical merits and (2) the statute of limitations remain open. FSP FIN 48-1 should be applied upon the initial adoption of FIN 48. The impact of our adoption of FIN 48 (as of January 1, 2007) is in accordance with this FSP and the implementation has not resulted in any changes to our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value. The unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected should

(Unaudited)

be reported in earnings. The decision to elect the fair value options is determined on an instrument by instrument basis, it should be applied to an entire instrument, and it is irrevocable. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value pursuant to the fair value option should be reported separately in the balance sheet from those instruments measured using another measurement attribute. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently analyzing the potential impact of adoption of SFAS No. 159 to its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements , (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not anticipate adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 Landing and Rawbar combined operations reported losses of $170,000 and $51,000, respectively.  This is as compared to income of $141,000 and $341,000 during the same comparable periods in 2006, respectively.  The primary reasons for the increased losses for the three and six month periods, respectively, were increased insurance expense ($75,000 and $153,000, respectively) increased management fees ($70,000 and $78,000, respectively) and increased depreciation and amortization ($68,000 and $116,000, respectively).
 
The increase in insurance expense was consistent with the general increase in premiums in south Florida.
 
The increase in management fees was the result of a change in restaurant managers. Effective April 1, 2007 the Company amended the restaurant management contract that was entered into when the property was purchased in 2004, and took over management of the restaurant.  The amendment provided for a one-time payment of $100,000 to the former manager for termination of the management services portion of the contract.  The former manager continues to perform accounting and certain administrative services and is paid $15,000 per month.
 
The increase in depreciation is the result of increase property placed in service in 2007 versus 2006.
 
4.   INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES
 
Investments in marketable securities consist primarily of large capital corporate equity and debt securities in varying industries or issued by government agencies with readily determinable fair values. These securities are stated at market value, as determined by the most recent traded price of each security at the balance sheet date.  Consistent with the Company's overall current investment objectives and activities its entire marketable securities portfolio is classified as trading.

Net gain from investments in marketable securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 is summarized below:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 net realized gain from sales of marketable securities of approximately $140,000 and $204,000, respectively, consisted of approximately $296,000 of gross gains net of $156,000 of gross losses for the three month period and $379,000 of gross gains and $175,000 of gross losses for the six month period.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 net realized gain from sales of marketable securities of approximately $84,000 and $113,000, respectively, consisted of approximately $147,000 of gross gains net of $63,000 of gross losses for the three month period and $311,000 of gross gains and $198,000 of gross losses for the six month period.

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

5.   OTHER INVESTMENTS
As of June 30, 2007, the Company has committed to invest approximately $12.7 million in other investments primarily in private capital funds, of which approximately $10.8 million has been funded. The carrying value of other investments (which reflects distributions and valuation adjustments) is approximately $4.7 million as of June 30, 2007.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007 the Company made contributions to two new investments for $110,000 and follow-on contributions to existing investments totaling approximately $630,000.  During this same period the Company received approximately $1,041,000 in cash and stock distributions.

Net income from other investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, is summarized below:

In April 2007, the Company received approximately $449,000 of cash and stock from an investment in a privately-held bank which was purchased by a publicly-held bank.  The Company realized a gain of approximately $299,000 on this transaction (included in table above under “Others, net”).

In February 2007, the Company received cash distributions primarily consisting of a $222,000 cash distribution from one investment in a partnership in which one of its portfolio companies was recapitalized. This distribution exceeded the carrying amount of the investment and accordingly was recognized as income.

During the three months ended March 2006, the Company received cash distributions from two funds, one from a high yield distressed debt fund the other from a technology venture fund.  These distributions exceeded the carrying amount of the investments and accordingly were recognized as income.

6.  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through its borrowing activities.  In order to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap contract under which the Company agrees to pay an amount equal to a specified rate of 7.57% times a notional principal approximating the outstanding loan balance, and to receive in return an amount equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus 2.45% times the same notional amount.  The Company designated this interest rate swap contract as a cash flow hedge.  As of June 30, 2007 the fair value (net of 50% minority interest) was an unrealized gain of $148,500 and as of December 31, 2006 the fair value (net of 50% minority interest) of the cash flow hedge was an unrealized loss of $22,500.  These amounts have been recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) and will be reclassified to interest expense over the life of the swap contract.

7.  SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has three reportable segments: Real estate rentals; Food and Beverage sales; and Other investments and related income.  The Real estate and rentals segment primarily includes the leasing of its Grove Isle property, marina dock rentals at both Monty’s and Grove Isle marinas, and the leasing of office and retail space at its Monty’s property.  The Food and Beverage sales segment consists of the Monty’s restaurant operation.  Lastly, the Other investment and related income segment includes all of the Company’s other investments, marketable securities, loans, notes and other receivables and the Grove Isle spa operations which individually do not meet the criteria as a reportable segment.

8. INCOME TAXES
We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
     
Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of June 30, 2007.
     
We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company reported a net loss of approximately $4,000 (or $.003 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and net income of approximately $218,000 (or $.21 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2007.  This is as compared with net losses of approximately $62,000 (or $.06 per share) and $137,000 (or $.13 per share) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

As discussed further below, total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared with the same periods in 2006, increased by approximately $223,000 (7%) and $632,000 (10%), respectively.  Total expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared with the same periods in 2006, increased by approximately $79,000 (3%) and $168,000 (3%), respectively.

REVENUES
Rentals and related revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared with the same periods in 2006 increased by $53,000 (16%) and $102,000 (15%), respectively.  Approximately $27,000 and $56,000 of the increase (for the three and six months, respectively) was due to increased rental revenue from the Grove Isle property as a result of inflation adjustments as provided in the lease.  The remaining increase was the result of increase rental revenue from the Monty’s retail space.

Restaurant sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared with the comparable periods in 2006 were down by 9% and 4%, respectively.  This was partly the result of more rain during weekends in 2007 as compared with 2006 and also as a result of a decrease in overall local tourism activity in 2007, as compared with 2006.  Cost of sales improved over last year primarily due to decreased cost of beverages due to less beer spoilage.  Insurance expense increased in 2007 by almost 50% over 2006 as a result of general insurance premium increases being experienced by across the board in South Florida.

Effective April 1, 2007 the Company amended the restaurant management contract that was entered into when the property was purchased in 2004, and took over management of the restaurant.  The amendment provided for a one-time payment of $100,000 to the former manager for termination of the management services portion of the contract.  The former manager continues to perform accounting and certain administrative services and is paid $15,000 per month.

The Monty’s Marina dockage fee and related revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 increased by approximately $9,000 (3%) and $28,000 (5%). The increases were primarily due to increased transient dockage activity at the Monty’s marina. Utilities expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared with 2006 decreased by $27,000 (61%) and $44,000 (56%), respectively due to increased electrical pass through charges to marina tenants in 2007 versus 2006.

Spa operations:
Below are summarized statements of income for Grove Isle spa operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.  The Company owns 50% of the Grove Isle Spa with the other 50% owned by an affiliate of the Noble House Resorts, the tenant of the Grove Isle Resort:

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

Spa revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared with the same periods in 2006 decreased by $11,000 (6%).  For the six months ended June 30, 2007 versus 2006 Spa revenues increased by $71,000 (23%).  The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2007 is consistent with decreased activity at the Grove Isle Resort which reflects lower tourism activity in 2007 versus 2006.  In order to better serve its customers, beginning in 2007 the spa is utilizing full-time employees to provide spa services versus on-call contractors previously used.

Net gain from investments in marketable securities:
Net gain from investments in marketable securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $124,000 and $250,000, respectively.  This is as compared with a net loss from investments in marketable securities of approximately $111,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and a net gain of $26,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. For further details refer to Note 4 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Net income from other investments:
Net income from other investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $365,000 and $742,000, respectively, as compared with net income of approximately $197,000 and $310,000, respectively for the same periods in 2006. For further details refer to Note 5 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Interest, dividend and other income:
Interest and dividend income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $104,000 and $244,000, respectively, as compared with approximately $190,000 and $320,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2006. The decreases from 2006 were primarily due to non-recurring leasing commissions received in June 2006 of approximately $67,000 which were recorded as other income.

EXPENSES
Expenses for rental and other properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by approximately $62,000 (75%) and $23,000 (9%), respectively, as compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.  These increases were primarily due to increased insurance costs.  For the three month comparable periods the increase was partially offset by decreased other costs as a result of a 2006 non-recurring management fee of $100,000 paid to the manager of the HMG-Fieber joint venture which sold its last property in August 2005.

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

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

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

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by approximately $65,000 (23%) and $115,000 (21%), respectively, primarily due to the completion of improvements and purchases of fixed assets related to the Monty’s property.

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

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

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL EXPENDITURE REQUIREMENTS AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's material commitments in 2007 primarily consist of maturities of debt obligations of approximately $4.3 million and commitments to fund private capital investments of approximately $1.9 million due upon demand.  The funds necessary to meet these obligations are expected to be available from the proceeds of sales of properties or investments, refinancing, distributions from investments and available cash. The majority of maturing debt obligations for 2007 is a note payable to the Company’s 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“TGIF”) of approximately $3.7 million.  This amount is due on demand.  The obligation due to TGIF will be paid with funds available from distributions from the Company’s investment in TGIF and from available cash.

MATERIAL COMPONENTS OF CASH FLOWS
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1.9 million.  Included in this amount are proceeds and redemptions of marketable securities of approximately $2.9 million partially offset by increased investments in marketable securities of approximately $685,000 and decreased accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $398,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $418,000. This consisted primarily of approximately $1.1 million in collections of mortgage loans and notes receivable and cash distributions from other investments of approximately $802,000.  These sources of funds were partially offset by contributions to other investments of $740,000, improvements of commercial properties (primarily the Monty’s property) of approximately $521,000 and increased investments in mortgaged loans and notes receivable of $211,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $50,000. This consisted of $329,000 of repayments of mortgages and notes payable partially offset by contributions from minority partners of $279,000.
