Item 1. Description of Business.

HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries (“HMG”, or the “Company”), is a Delaware corporation organized in 1972. The Company’s business is the ownership and management of income-producing commercial properties and will consider other investments if they offer growth or profit potential.

HMG (excluding its 95% owned subsidiary Courtland Investments, Inc. (“CII”), which files a separate tax return) qualifies for taxation as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. In order for a company to qualify as a REIT, it must comply with certain rules specified in the Internal Revenue Code. These include: investing at least 75 percent of total assets in real estate; deriving at least 75 percent of gross income as rents from real property or interest from mortgages on real property; and distributing annually at least 90 percent of taxable income to shareholders in the form of dividends.

The Company’s commercial properties are located in the Coconut Grove section of Miami, Florida and consist of a luxury resort on a private island known as “Grove Isle” with a 50-room hotel, restaurant/banquet facilities, spa, tennis courts and marina with 85 dockage slips and a 50% leasehold interest in “Monty’s”, a facility consisting of a 16,000 square foot indoor/outdoor seafood restaurant adjacent to a marina with 132 dockage slips and a 40,000 square foot office/retail mall building with approximately 24,000 net rentable square feet. The Monty’s facility is subject to a ground lease with the City of Miami, Florida which expires in 2035. The Company’s corporate office is also located in Coconut Grove in a 5,000 square foot building.

The Company’s rental and related revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were generated approximately 66% and 70%, respectively, from the Grove Isle property 34% and 30%, respectively, from the Monty’s property. Marina and related revenues for 2009 and 2008 were generated approximately 70% from the marina at the Monty’s facility and 30% coming from the marina at the Grove Isle facility. The Company’s food and beverage revenue is entirely from the restaurant at the Monty’s facility. Spa revenue is from the Company’s 50% owned spa at Grove Isle. The other 50% of the Spa is owned by the tenant operator of Grove Isle.

The Company also owns two properties held for development. A 70% interest in a 13,000 square foot commercially zoned building located on 5 acres in Montpelier, Vermont, and approximately 50 acres of vacant land held in Hopkinton, Rhode Island.

The Company’s other investments consist primarily of nominal equity interests in various privately-held entities, including limited partnerships whose purpose is to invest venture capital funds in growth-oriented enterprises. The Company does not have significant influence over any investee and the Company’s investment represents less than 3% of the investee’s ownership. Some of these investments give rise to exposure resulting from the volatility in capital markets. The Company mitigates its risks by diversifying its investment portfolio. Information with respect to the amounts and types of other investments including the nature of the declines in value is set forth in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s investments in marketable securities include equity and debt securities issued primarily by large capital companies or government agencies with readily determinable fair values in varying industries. This includes real estate investment trusts and mutual funds focusing in commercial real estate activities. Substantially all of the Company’s marketable securities investments are in companies listed on major national stock markets, however the overall investment portfolio and some of the Company’s investment strategies could be viewed as risky and the market values of the portfolio may be subject to fluctuations. Consistent with the Company's overall investment objectives and activities, management classifies all marketable securities as being held in a trading portfolio. Accordingly, all unrealized gains and losses on the Company's investments in marketable securities are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Marketable securities are stated at market value as determined by the most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. Information regarding the amounts and types of investments in marketable securities is set forth in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company acquires its real estate and other investments utilizing available cash, trading securities or borrowing funds.

The Company may realize gains and losses in its overall investment portfolio from time to time to take advantage of market conditions and/or manage the portfolio's resources and the Company's tax liability. The Company may utilize margin for its marketable securities purchases through the use of standard margin agreements with national brokerage firms. The use of available leverage is guided by the business judgment of management. The Company may also use options and futures to hedge concentrated stock positions and index futures to hedge against market risk and enhance the performance of the Company's portfolio while reducing the overall portfolio's risk and volatility.

Reference is made to Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence for discussion of the Company’s organizational structure and related party transactions.

Investment in affiliate.

The Company’s investment in affiliate consists of a 49% equity interest in T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (TGIF). TGIF is a Texas Corporation with investments consisting of promissory notes receivable from its shareholders including CII and Maurice Wiener, the Chairman of the Company, and investments in marketable securities. This investment’s carrying value as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $2.9 million. CII’s note payable to TGIF which is due on demand was approximately $3.6 million and $3.7 million as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. Reference is made to Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Insurance, Environmental Matters and Other.

In the opinion of management, all significant assets of the Company are adequately covered by insurance and the cost and effects of complying with environmental laws do not have a material impact on the Company's operations.

The Company’s subsidiary which operates a restaurant is subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting its business. In particular, this restaurant is subject to licensing and regulation by the alcoholic beverage control, health, sanitation, safety and fire department agencies of Miami-Dade County, Florida. To the extent that the Company’s restaurant sells alcoholic beverages it is subject to the State of Florida’s liquor liability statutes or “dram shop laws” which allow a person injured by an “obviously intoxicated person” to bring a civil suit against the business (or social host) who had served intoxicating liquors to an already “obviously intoxicated person”. Dram shop claims normally involve traffic accidents and the Company would generally not learn of such claims until such claims are filed. At the present time, there are no dram shop cases pending against the Company. The Company has in place insurance coverage to protect it from losses, if any. The deductible amount on the restaurant’s general liability policy is $5,000 per claim.

Competition.

The Company competes for suitable opportunities for real estate investments with other real estate investment trusts, foreign investors, pension funds, insurance companies and other investors. The Company also competes with other real estate investors and borrowers for available sources of financing.

In addition, to the extent the Company leases properties it must compete for tenants with other lessors offering similar facilities. Tenants are sought by providing modern, well-maintained facilities at competitive rentals. The Company has attempted to facilitate successful leasing of its properties by investing in facilities that have been developed according to the specifications of tenants and special local needs.

The food and beverage industry is highly competitive and is often affected by changes in taste and entertainment trends among the public, by local, national and economic conditions affecting spending habits, and by population and traffic patterns. The Company’s Monty’s restaurant is primarily outdoors and subject to climate and seasonal conditions.

The Company has the right to certain trademarks and service marks commonly known as “Monty Trainer’s”, “Monty’s Stone Crab”, “Monty’s Conch”, “Monty’s” and “Monty’s Marina”, together with certain other trademarks, trade secrets, unique features, concepts, designs, operating procedures, recipes and materials used in connection with the operation of the restaurant. The Company regards its trademarks and other proprietary rights as valuable assets which are essential to the related operations. The Company will vigorously monitor and protect its trademarks against infringement and dilution where legally feasible and appropriate.

Employees.

The Company’s management is provided in accordance with its Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the HMG Advisory Corp. (“the Adviser”), as described below under “Terms of the Agreement”. Reference is also made to Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence. There is one employee at an 80%-owned subsidiary of CII which performs financial consulting services for which the Company receives consulting fees.

As of December 31, 2009 the Company’s 50%-owned subsidiary and operator of the Monty’s restaurant, Bayshore Rawbar, LLC (“BSRB”), employed approximately 94 hourly employees and two salaried employees. Reference is made to discussion of restaurant, marina and mall in

Item 2. Description of Property.

The restaurant operation is subject to federal and state laws governing such matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship requirements and overtime. Some states, including Florida, have set minimum wage requirements higher than the federal level. Significant numbers of hourly personnel at our restaurants are paid at rates related to the Florida minimum wage and, accordingly, increases in the minimum wage will increase labor costs. We are also subject to the Americans With Disability Act of 1990 (ADA), which, among other things, may require certain renovations to our restaurants to meet federally mandated requirements. The cost of any such renovations is not expected to materially affect us.

We are not aware of any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation under present consideration which would significantly limit or restrict our business as now conducted. None of our employees are represented by collective bargaining organizations. We consider our labor relations to be favorable.

Terms of the Advisory Agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Adviser serves as the Company's investment adviser and, under the supervision of the directors of the Company, administers the day-to-day operations of the Company. All officers of the Company who are officers of the Adviser are compensated solely by the Adviser for their services. The Agreement is renewable annually upon the approval of a majority of the directors of the Company who are not affiliated with the Adviser and a majority of the Company's shareholders. The contract may be terminated at any time on 120 days written notice by the Adviser or upon 60 days written notice by a majority of the unaffiliated directors of the Company or the holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding shares.

On August 13, 2009, the shareholders approved the renewal of the Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Adviser for a term commencing January 1, 2010, and expiring December 31, 2010.

The Adviser is majority owned by Mr. Wiener with the remaining shares owned by certain officers, including Mr. Rothstein. The officers and directors of the Adviser are as follows: Maurice Wiener, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive officer; Larry Rothstein, President, Treasurer, Secretary and Director; and Carlos Camarotti, Vice President - Finance and Assistant Secretary.

Advisory Fees. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries incurred Adviser fees of approximately $1,020,000 and $1,076,000, respectively, of which $1,020,000 represented regular compensation for 2009 and 2008. In 2008, approximately $56,000 represented incentive compensation. There was no incentive compensation for 2009. The Adviser is also the manager for certain of the Company's affiliates and received management fees of approximately $19,000 and $44,000 in 2009 and 2008, respectively for such services. Included in fees for 2008 was $25,000 of management fees earned relating to management of the Monty’s restaurant operations.

Item 2. Description of Property.

Grove Isle Hotel, Club and Marina (“Grove Isle”) (Coconut Grove, Florida). The Company has owned Grove Isle since 1993 and leases the property to a qualified luxury resort manager to operate the resort. The Grove Isle resort includes a 50 room hotel, renowned restaurant and banquet facilities, a first class spa, tennis courts and an 85-boat slip marina. It is located on 7 acres of a private island in Coconut Grove, Florida, known as "Grove Isle".

Presently, the lessee of Grove Isle is Grove Hotel Partners, LLC, an affiliate of Grand Heritage Hotel Group, LLC (“GH”). GH operates over a dozen independent hotels and resorts across North America and Mexico. The lease termination date is November 30, 2016, if not extended as provided in the lease. Base rent was $1,184,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and will remain at $1,184,000 in 2010. The lease also calls for participation rent consisting of a portion of operating surplus, as defined. Participation rent when and if due is payable at end of each lease year. There has been no participation rent since the inception of the lease.

GH also manages the day to day operations of Grove Isle Spa, LLC (“GS”), which is owned 50% by GH and 50% by the Company. The Grove Isle spa began operations in the first quarter of 2005. The spa operates under the name “Spa Terre at the Grove” and offers a variety of body treatments, salon services, facial care and massage therapies.

The Grove Isle property is encumbered by a mortgage note payable with an outstanding balance of approximately $3.7 million and $3.8 million as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This loan calls for monthly principal payments of $10,000 with all outstanding principal and interest due at maturity on September 29, 2010. Interest on outstanding principal is due monthly at an annual rate of 2.5% plus the one-month LIBOR Rate.

As of December 31, 2009, 6 of the 85 yacht slips at the facility are owned by the Company and the other 79 are owned by unrelated individuals or their entities. The Company operates and maintains all aspects of the Grove Isle marina for an annual management fee from the slip owners to cover operational expenses. In addition the Company rents the unsold slips to boat owners on a short term basis.

Restaurant, marina and mall (“Monty’s”) (Coconut Grove, Florida).

In August 2004, the Company, through two 50%-owned entities, Bayshore Landing, LLC (“Landing”) and Bayshore Rawbar, LLC (“BSRB”), (collectively, “Bayshore”) purchased a restaurant, office/retail and marina property located in Coconut Grove (Miami), Florida known as Monty’s. The other 50% owner of Bayshore is The Christoph Family Trust (the “Trust” or “CFT”). Members of the Trust are experienced real estate and marina operators.

The Monty’s property consists of a two story building with approximately 40,000 rentable square feet and approximately 3.7 acres of land and submerged land with a 132-boat slip marina. It includes a 16,000 square foot indoor-outdoor raw bar restaurant known as Monty’s Raw Bar and 24,000 net rentable square footage of office/retail space leased to tenants operating boating and marina related businesses. Monty’s Raw Bar has operated in the same location since 1969 and is an established culinary landmark in South Florida. It is a casual restaurant and bar located next to the picturesque Monty’s marina.

The Monty’s property is subject to a ground lease with the City of Miami, Florida expiring in 2035. Under the lease, Landing pays percentage rent ranging from 8% to 15% of gross revenues from various components of the property.

The Monty’s property is encumbered by a loan mortgage payable to a bank with an outstanding principal balance of $11.2 million as of December 31, 2009. The loan is repayable in equal monthly principal payments necessary to fully amortize the principal amount over the remaining term of the loan maturing in February 2021, plus accrued interest. In conjunction with this loan Bayshore entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuation through the entire term of the mortgage. The effect of the swap agreement is to provide a fixed interest rate of 7.57%.

The operations of the Monty’s restaurant are managed by BSRB personnel with the exception of its accounting related functions which are performed by RMI, an unrelated third party and former operator of the restaurant. Under an amended management agreement BSRB retained RMI to perform accounting related administrative functions only. For the year ended December 31, 2009, BSRB paid RMI $114,000 (or $9,500 per month) for accounting and related service. The amended management agreement is renewable on an annual basis. In October 2009 the agreement with RMI was renewed and extended through the year ended December 31, 2010 under the same terms of the prior agreement.

Land held for development (Vermont and Rhode Island).

The Company owns approximately 50 acres of vacant land held for development located in Hopkinton, Rhode Island. There are no current plans for development of this land.

The Company also owns a 70% interest in a commercially zoned 5 acre property located in Montpelier, Vermont. Further development of this property is being considered.

Executive offices (Coconut Grove, Florida). The principal executive offices of the Company and the Adviser are located at 1870 South Bayshore Drive, Coconut Grove, Florida, 33133, in premises owned by the Company’s subsidiary CII and leased to the Adviser pursuant to a lease agreement originally dated December 1, 1999, and as renewed in 2009. The lease provides for base rent of $48,000 per year payable in equal monthly installments during the five year term of the lease. The Adviser, as tenant, pays utilities, certain maintenance and security expenses relating to the leased premises.

The Company regularly evaluates potential real estate acquisitions for future investment or development and would utilize funds currently available or from other resources to implement its strategy.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company is a co-defendant in two lawsuits in the circuit court in Miami Dade County Florida. These cases arose from claims by a condominium association and resident seeking a declaratory judgment regarding certain provisions of the declaration of condominium relating to the Grove Isle Club and the developer. The Company believes that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position. The ultimate outcome of this litigation cannot presently be determined. However, in management’s opinion the likelihood of a material adverse outcome is remote. Accordingly, adjustments, if any that might result from the resolution of this matter have not been reflected in the financial statements.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions in applying our critical accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure (if any) of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates and assumptions concern, among other things, goodwill impairment, impairment of our other investments and other long-lived assets, uncertainties for Federal and state income tax and allowance for doubtful accounts. We evaluate those estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and on various other factors which we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere on this Form 10-K, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements:

Goodwill Impairment. The Company’s entire goodwill balance of $7.8 million as of December 31, 2009 relates to its Monty’s property which operates in two of the Company’s reportable segments (Restaurant and real estate/marina rentals and related).

We test goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired using a two-step process. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and we must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Step two of the impairment test, if necessary, requires the estimation of the fair value for the assets and liabilities of a reporting unit in order to calculate the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by management and is based on the results of estimates we made regarding the present value of the anticipated cash flows associated with each reporting unit (the “income approach”).

The income approach which considers factors unique to each of our reporting units and related long range plans that may not be comparable to other companies and is dependent on several critical management assumptions. These assumptions include estimates of future sales growth, gross margins, operating costs, income tax rates, terminal value growth rates, capital expenditures and the weighted average cost of capital (discount rate). Anticipated cash flows used under the income approach are developed in conjunction with our annual budgeting process.

The discount rates used in the income approach are an estimate of the rate of return that a market participant would expect of each reporting unit. To select an appropriate rate for discounting the future earnings stream, a review was made of short-term interest rate yields of long-term corporate and government bonds, as well as the typical capital structure of companies in the industry. The discount rates used for each reporting unit may vary depending on the risk inherent in the cash flow projections, as well as the risk level that would be perceived by a market participant. A terminal value is included at the end of the projection period used in our discounted cash flow analyses to reflect the remaining value that each reporting unit is expected to generate. The terminal value represents the present value in the last year of the projection period of all subsequent cash flows into perpetuity. The terminal value growth rate is a key assumption used in determining the terminal value as it represents the annual growth of all subsequent cash flows into perpetuity.

The estimated fair value of our reporting units are subject to change as a result of many factors including, among others, any changes in our business plans, changing economic conditions and the competitive environment. Should actual cash flows and our future estimates vary adversely from those estimates we use, we may be required to recognize goodwill impairment charges in future years.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2009. As a result of our testing, we concluded that the fair value of the reporting units of Monty’s exceeded their carrying amounts.

Marketable Securities. Consistent with the Company's overall investment objectives and activities, management has classified its entire marketable securities portfolio as trading. As a result, all unrealized gains and losses on the Company's investment portfolio are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Our investments in trading equity and debt marketable securities are carried at fair value and based on quoted market prices or other observable inputs. Marketable securities are subject to fluctuations in value in accordance with market conditions.

Other Investments. The Company’s other investments consist primarily of nominal equity interests in various privately-held entities, including limited partnerships whose purpose is to invest venture capital funds in growth-oriented enterprises. The Company does not have significant influence over any investee and the Company’s investment represents less than 3% of the investee’s ownership. None of these investments meet the criteria of accounting under the equity method and are carried at cost less distributions and other than temporary unrealized losses. These investments do not have available quoted market prices, so we must rely on valuations and related reports and information provided to us by those entities. These valuations are by their nature subject to estimates which could change significantly from period to period. The Company regularly reviews the underlying assets in its other investment portfolio for events, including but not limited to bankruptcies, closures and declines in estimated fair value, that may indicate the investment has suffered an other-than-temporary decline in value. When a decline is deemed other-than-temporary, we permanently reduce the cost basis component of the investments to its estimated fair value, and the loss is recorded as a component of net income from other investments. As such, any recoveries in the value of the investments will not be recognized until the investments are sold.

Our estimates of each of these items historically have been adequate. However, due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is reasonably possible that the actual resolution of any of these items could vary significantly from the estimate and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates may not materially change in the near term.

Real Estate. Land, buildings and improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment are recorded at cost. Tenant improvements, which are included in buildings and improvements, are also stated at cost. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as they are incurred. Renovations and/or replacements, which improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of ten to forty years for buildings and improvements and five to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Tenant improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases.

The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis with respect to those properties. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company's net income. Should the Company lengthen the expected useful life of a particular asset, it would be depreciated over more years, and result in less depreciation expense and higher annual net income.

Assessment by the Company of certain other lease related costs must be made when the Company has a reason to believe that the tenant will not be able to execute under the term of the lease as originally expected.

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of certain of its properties and long-lived assets in relation to historical results, current business conditions and trends to identify potential situations in which the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. If such reviews indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable, the Company would estimate the undiscounted sum of the expected future cash flows of such assets or analyze the fair value of the asset, to determine if such sum or fair value is less than the carrying value of such assets to ascertain if a permanent impairment exists. If a permanent impairment exists, the Company would determine the fair value by using quoted market prices, if available, for such assets, or if quoted market prices are not available, the Company would discount the expected future cash flows of such assets and would adjust the carrying value of the asset to fair value. Judgments as to impairments and assumptions used in projecting future cash flow are inherently imprecise.

Results of Operations:

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company reported net loss attributable to the Company of approximately $85,000 (or $.08 per share) and $1,617,000 (or $1.58 per share), respectively.

Revenues:

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared with that of 2008 decreased by approximately $665,000 (or 6%). This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in restaurant, marine and spa revenues, as discussed below.

Real estate and related revenue:

Real estate rentals and related revenue increased by approximately $117,000 (or 7%) for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared with 2008. This increase was the result of increased rental income from the Monty’s office/retail space of approximately $74,000 and increased rental revenue from Grove Isle and other of $43,000. As of December 31, 2009 all but 1,800 square feet out of approximately 24,000 net rentable square feet of the Monty’s office/retail space are leased.

The Monty’s restaurant is subject to seasonal fluctuations in sales. January through May sales typically account for over 50% of annual sales. Restaurant sales in 2009 as compared with 2008 decreased by approximately 6% we believe primarily due to the general decline in economic activity.

The increase in other operating costs in 2009 (9.1% of sales) versus 2008 (7.9% of sales) was primarily due to increase repairs and maintenance and other indirect operating costs of the restaurant. The decrease in management and accounting fees in 2009 (1.8% of sales) versus 2008 (2.1% of sales) was primarily due to reduction in restaurant management fees payable.

All other restaurant related expenses in 2009 were generally consistent, as a percentage of sales, with that of 2008.

Grove Isle and Monty’s marina operations:

The Grove Isle marina operates for the benefit of the slip owners and maintains all aspects of the marina in exchange for an annual maintenance fee from the slip owners to cover operational expenses. There are 85 boat slips at Grove Isle, of which 79 are privately owned by unrelated individuals or entities, the remaining 6 slips are owned by the Company. The Company rents the unsold slips to boat owners on a short term basis. The Monty’s marina has approximately 4,400 total square feet available for rent to the public.

Summarized and combined statements of income from marina operations:

(The Company owns 50% of the Monty’s marina and 95% of the Grove Isle marina)

Total marina revenues decreased by approximately $61,000 (or 3%) for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared with 2008 primarily as a result of decreased transient rentals at both marinas.

Total marina expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared with 2008 increased by approximately $25,000 (or 3%) primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses. This includes a provision for bad debt of $50,000 from one broker tenant at Monty's marina, and was partially offset by decreased Monty's marina management fees.

Grove Isle spa operations:

Spa revenues decreased by $295,000 (or 37%) for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared with 2008. Spa and related services have been severely affected by the economic downturn and all spa services at Grove experienced significant declines in 2009.

Spa expenses decreased by $128,000 (or 19%) for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared with 2008, primarily due decreased cost of sales and labor as a result of reduced demand for spa services.

Below is a summarized income statement for these operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company owns 50% of the Grove Isle Spa with the other 50% owned by an affiliate of the Grand Heritage Hotel Group, the tenant operator of the Grove Isle Resort.

Expenses:

Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to that of 2008 decreased by approximately $700,000 (or 6%).

Food and beverage costs are solely from the Monty’s restaurant operations. Spa expenses are solely from the Grove Isle spa operations. Marina expenses are from both the Monty’s and Grove Isle marinas. Summarized income statements and discussion of significant changes in expenses for each of these operations are presented above.

Operating expenses of rental and other properties for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared with 2008 decreased by $137,000 (or 18%). This was primarily due to decreased operating costs of the Monty’s rental operations due to decreased repairs and maintenance expense and reduced management fees as a result of less oversight on the build out of the Monty’s rental space which was essentially completed in 2009.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by approximately $67,000 (or 5%) primarily due to a non-recurring write off of unamortized deferred loan costs at Grove Isle Spa in 2008 of approximately $22,000 and reduction in amortization expense of approximately $35,000 relating to deferred leasing commissions on Monty’s leases which were written off in 2009.

Interest expense decreased by approximately $221,000 (or 17%) for year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008. This was due to decreased interest rates in 2009 as compared to 2008, and due to loan principal reductions of approximately $827,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009.

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $108,000 (or 34%) for year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008. This was due to increased provision for bad debt expense of $150,000, which was partially offset by decreased dues and subscriptions of $42,000.

Professional fees increased by approximately $35,000 (or 11%) for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008. This was primarily due to increased legal and related costs associated with Monty’s facility.

Other Income:

Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments in marketable securities:

Net gain (loss) from investments in marketable securities, including marketable securities distributed by partnerships in which the Company owns minority positions, for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, is as follows:

Description	2009			2008
Net realized loss from sales of marketable securities	$	(4,000	)	$	(53,000	)
Net unrealized gain (loss) from marketable securities		1,129,000			(1,383,000	)
Total net gain (loss) from investments in marketable securities	$	1,125,000		$	(1,436,000	)

Net realized gain from sales of marketable securities consisted of approximately $261,000 of gains net of $265,000 of losses for the year ended December 31, 2009. The comparable amounts in fiscal year 2008 were gains of approximately $435,000 net of $488,000 of losses.

Consistent with the Company’s overall current investment objectives and activities, the entire marketable securities portfolio is classified as trading (versus available for sale, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles). Unrealized gains or losses from marketable securities are recorded as other income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

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.

Investments in marketable securities give rise to exposure resulting from the volatility of capital markets. The Company attempts to mitigate its risk by diversifying its marketable securities portfolio.

Net income from other investments is summarized below (excluding other than temporary impairment losses):

	2009		2008
Partnerships owning stocks and bonds (a)	$	22,000	$	392,000
Venture capital funds – diversified businesses (b)		31,000		208,000
Venture capital funds – technology & communications		12,000		22,000
Income from investment in 49% owned affiliate (c)		74,000		40,000
Other		15,000		5,000
Total net income from other investments	$	154,000	$	665,000

(a)	In 2009 and 2008 amounts consist of gains from the full redemption of investments in private equity funds that invested in equities, debt or debt like securities.

(b)	In 2008 amounts consist primarily of gains from distributions of investments in two private limited partnerships which own interests in various diversified businesses, primarily in the manufacturing and production related sectors.

(c)

This gain represents income from the Company’s 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“TGIF”). The increase in income is due to increase net income of TGIF as a result of reduced operating expenses. In December 2009 and 2008 TGIF declared and paid a cash dividend of the Company’s portion of which was approximately $140,000 and $224,000, respectively. These dividends were recorded as reduction in the investment carrying value as required under the equity method of accounting for investments.

Other than temporary impairment losses from other investments

	2009			2008
Venture capital funds – diversified businesses (a)	$	(130,000	)		-
Real estate and related (b)		(138,000	)		(37,000	)
Venture capital funds – technology & communications (c)		(150,000	)		-
Other		(5,000	)		-
Total other than temporary impairment loss from other investments	$	(423,000	)	$	(37,000	)

(a)	In 2009 amount consist of write downs of two investments in private limited partnerships owning real diversified businesses. These investments experienced other than temporary impairment in value of approximately $130,000.

(a)

In 2009 amount consist of write downs of three investments in private limited partnerships owning real estate interests. These investments experienced other than temporary impairment in value of approximately $138,000. In 2008 amount consist of one write down of approximately $37,000 in an investment owning a limited partnership real estate interest.

(b)	In 2009 amount primarily consists of write downs of two investments in private limited partnerships owning technology related entities. These investments experienced other than temporary impairment in value of approximately $150,000.

Net income or loss from other investments 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 gain or loss from other investments for any given period has no predictive value and variations in amount from period to period have no practical analytical value.

Interest, dividend and other income

Interest, dividend and other income for years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $415,000 and $509,000, respectively. The decrease of approximately $94,000 (or 18%) was primarily due to decreased consulting revenue of approximately $50,000 from the Company’s 80% owned subsidiary, Courtland Houston, Inc. and decreased dividend income of approximately $53,000, partially offset by increased bond interest income.

Benefit from income taxes:

Benefit from income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $92,000 and $130,000, respectively.

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. As a result of timing differences associated with the carrying value of other investments, unrealized gains and losses of marketable securities, depreciable assets and the future benefit of a net operating loss, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has recorded a net deferred tax asset of $458,000 and $366,000, respectively. A valuation allowance against deferred tax asset has not been established as management believes it is more likely than not, based on the Company’s previous history and expectation of future taxable income before expiration, that these assets will be realized.

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 primarily consist of maturities of debt obligations of approximately $8.1 million in 2010 and contributions committed to other investments of approximately $900,000 due upon demand. The funds necessary to meet these obligations are expected from the proceeds from the sales of properties or investments, bank construction loan, refinancing of existing bank loans, distributions from investments and available cash.

Included in the maturing debt obligations for 2010 is the bank mortgage note payable on the Grove Isle property which matures in September 2010. The Company is in the process of refinancing this loan and expects to do so prior to maturity.

Also included in the maturing debt obligations for 2010 is a note payable to the Company’s 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“TGIF”) of approximately $3.6 million due on demand.(see Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.) The obligation due to TGIF will be paid with funds available from distributions from its investment in TGIF and from available cash.

A summary of the Company’s contractual cash obligations at December 31, 2009 is as follows:

	Payments Due by Period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1 – 3 years		4 – 5 years		After 5 years
Mortgages and notes payable	$	18,470,000	$	8,130,000	$	715,000	$	767,000	$	8,858,000
Other investments commitments (a)		900,000		900,000		--		--		--
Total	$	19,370,000	$	9,030,000	$	715,000	$	767,000	$	8,858,000

(a)	The timing of amounts due under commitments for other investments is determined by the managing partners of the individual investments. These amounts are reflected as due in less than one year although the actual funding may not be required until some time in the future.

Material Changes in Operating, Investing and Financing Cash Flows.

The Company’s cash flows are generated primarily from its real estate net rental and related activities, sales of marketable securities, distributions from other investments and borrowings.

For the year ended December 31, 2009 the Company’s net cash used in operating activities was approximately $113,000. This was primarily from real estate net rental and related activities. The Company believes that there will be sufficient cash flows in the next year to meet its operating requirements.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the net cash used in investing activities was approximately $531,000. This included sources of cash consisting of proceeds from the sales and redemptions of marketable securities of $2.1 million, cash distributions from other investments of $393,000 and distribution from affiliate of $140,000. These sources of cash were offset by purchases of marketable securities of $2.2 million, contributions to other investments of $527,000, purchases and improvements of fixed assets of $309,000 and increase loans receivable of $150,000.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $816,000. This primarily consisted of repayments of mortgages and notes payable of $827,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balances sheets of HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. 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 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 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 and 2008

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business and Consolidation. The 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. The Company was organized in 1972 and (excluding its 95% owned subsidiary Courtland Investments, Inc., which files a separate tax return) qualifies for taxation as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company’s business is the ownership and management of income-producing commercial properties and its management considers other investments if such investments offer growth or profit potential. The Company’s recurring operating revenue comes from food and beverage operations, marina dockage operations, commercial property rental operations and spa operations.

All material transactions and balances with consolidated and unconsolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation or as required under the equity method.

The Company's consolidated subsidiaries are described below:

Courtland Investments, Inc. (“CII”). A 95% owned corporation in which the Company holds a 95% non-voting interest and Masscap Investments Company, Inc. ("Masscap") which holds a 5% voting interest in CII. The Company and Masscap have had a continuing arrangement with regard to the ongoing operations of CII, which provides the Company with complete authority over all decision making relating to the business, operations and financing of CII consistent with the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust. Masscap is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Transco Realty Trust which is a 46% shareholder of the Company. CII files a separate tax return and its operations are not part of the REIT tax return.

Courtland Bayshore Rawbar, LLC (“CBSRB”). This limited liability company is wholly owned by CII. CBSRB owns a 50% interest in Bayshore Rawbar, LLC (“BSRB”) which operates the Monty’s restaurant in Coconut Grove, Florida. The other 50% owner of BSRB is The Christoph Family Trust (“CFT”), an unrelated entity.

HMG Bayshore, LLC (“HMGBS”). This limited liability company owns a 50% interest in the real property and marina operations of Bayshore Landing, LLC (“BSL”). HMGBS and the CFT formed BSL for the purposes of acquiring and operating the Monty’s property in Coconut Grove, Florida.

Grove Isle Associates, Ltd. (“GIA”). This limited partnership (owned 85% by the Company and 15% by CII) owns and leases the Grove Isle Resort to a tenant-operator. The Grove Isle resort includes a 50 room hotel, renowned restaurant and banquet facilities, a first class spa, tennis courts and an 85-boat slip marina. It is located on 7 acres of a private island in the Coconut Grove section of Miami, Florida.

The tenant-operator of Grove Isle is Grove Hotel Partners LLC, an affiliate of Grand Heritage Hotel Group, LLC (“GH”). GH operates over a dozen independent hotels and resorts across North America and Mexico. In November 2008 the Company approved the assignment of the lease from its prior tenant operator to GH which assumed all terms of the original lease.

CII Spa, LLC (“CIISPA”). This wholly owned subsidiary of CII owns a 50% interest in Grove Spa, LLC (“GS”) and the other 50% is owned by GH.

GH manages the day to day operations of the spa. The spa, which operates under the name “Spa Terre at the Grove”, offers a variety of body treatments, salon services, facial care and massage therapies.

Courtland/Key West, Inc. (“CKWI”). This corporation is wholly owned by CII and its sole asset is a promissory note receivable from a former venture partner. The note was repaid in March of 2010.

Baleen Associates, Inc. (“Baleen”). This corporation is wholly owned by CII and its sole asset is a 50% interest in a partnership which operates an executive suite rental business in Coconut Grove, Florida.

Preparation of Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes. The Company’s 95%-owned subsidiary, CII, files a separate income tax return and its operations are not included in the REIT’s income tax return. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740-0, (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”). This requires a Company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred taxes only pertain to CII. The Company (excluding CII) qualifies as a real estate investment trust and distributes its taxable ordinary income to stockholders in conformity with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and is not required to report deferred items due to its ability to distribute all taxable income. In addition, net operating losses can be carried forward to reduce future taxable income but cannot be carried back. Distributed capital gains on sales of real estate as they relate to REIT activities are not subject to taxes; however, undistributed capital gains are taxed as capital gains. State income taxes are not significant.

We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10 (formerly 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. This clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 740 (formerly 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. This topic 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, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2009.

We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation of properties held for investment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the properties, which range up to 39.5 years. Deferred mortgage and leasing costs are amortized over the shorter of the respective term of the related indebtedness or life of the asset. Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $1,318,000 and $1,385,000, respectively. The Grove Isle yacht slips were being depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 20 years and are fully depreciated. The Monty’s marina is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 15 years.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The carrying value of financial instruments including other receivables, notes and advances due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued expenses and mortgages and notes payable approximate their fair values at December 31, 2009 and 2008, due to their relatively short terms or variable interest rates.

We adopted ASC Topic 820-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard provides a consistent definition of fair value which focuses on an exit price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The topic also prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity specific information and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is defined as follows:

·	Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices, either directly or indirectly including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;

·	Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement

An investment’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Cash equivalents are classified with Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of transparency.

The valuation of non-public investments requires significant judgment by the Company’s management due to the absence of quoted market values, inherent lack of liquidity and long-term nature of such assets. Such investments are valued initially based upon transaction price. Valuations are reviewed periodically utilizing available market data and additional factors to determine if the carrying value of these investments should be adjusted. In determining valuation adjustments, emphasis is placed on market participants’ assumptions and market-based information over entity-specific information. Nonpublic investments are included in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Marketable Securities. The entire marketable securities portfolio is classified as trading consistent with the Company's overall investment objectives and activities. Accordingly, all unrealized gains and losses on the Company's marketable securities investment portfolio are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Gross gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities are based on the first-in first-out method of determining cost.

Marketable securities from time to time are pledged as collateral pursuant to broker margin requirements. At December 31, 2009 and 2008 there are no significant margin balances outstanding.

Notes and other receivables. Management periodically performs a review of amounts due on its notes and other receivable balances to determine if they are impaired based on factors affecting the collectibility of those balances. Management's estimates of collectibility of these receivables requires management to exercise significant judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, if any, and the underlying value of collateral, which may affect recoverability of such receivables. As of December 31, 2009 the Company has reserved $50,000 in provision for bad debt from one tenant at the Monty’s property and has written off $150,000 loan receivable which became uncollectible. As of December 31, 2008 there were no receivables that required an allowance.

Equity investments. Investments in which the Company does not have a majority voting or financial controlling interest but has the ability to exercise influence are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, even though the Company may have a majority interest in profits and losses. The Company follows ASC Topic 323-30 (formerly EITF Topic D-46) in accounting for its investments in limited partnerships. This guidance requires the use of the equity method for limited partnership investments of more than 3 to 5 percent.

The Company has no voting or financial controlling interests in its other investments which include entities that invest venture capital funds in growth oriented enterprises. These other investments are carried at cost less adjustments for other than temporary declines in value.

Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) in both its consolidated statements of comprehensive income and the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity. Comprehensive income (loss) is the change in equity from transactions and other events from nonowner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 comprehensive loss consisted of unrealized gain (loss) from interest rate swap agreement of $506,000 and ($815,500), respectively.

Loss per common share. Net loss per common share (basic and diluted) is based on the net loss income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net loss per share includes the dilutive effect of options to acquire common stock. Common shares outstanding include issued shares less shares held in treasury.

Gain on Sales of Properties. Gain on sales of properties is recognized when the minimum investment requirements have been met by the purchaser and title passes to the purchaser. There were no sales of property in 2009 and 2008.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalent deposits in excess of federally insured limits, marketable securities, other receivables and notes and mortgages receivable. From time to time the Company may have bank deposits in excess of federally insured limits. The Company evaluates these excess deposits and transfers amounts to brokerage accounts and other banks to mitigate this exposure.

As of December 31, 2009 the Company had approximately $2.1 million in excess of insured limits in one bank. The federally insured limit is presently $250,000.

Interest Rate Swap Contract.

The Company may or may not use interest rate swap contracts to reduce interest rate risk.

Interest rate swap contracts designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are reported at fair value. The gain or loss on the effective portion of the hedge initially is included as a component of other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings when interest on the related debt is paid.

Inventories. Inventories consist primarily of food and beverage and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company recognizes goodwill and other non-amortizing intangible assets (such as deferred loan costs) in accordance with ASC Topic 350. Under this Topic, goodwill is recorded at its carrying value and is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if impairment indicators exist at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit. The Company recognizes goodwill in accordance with the Topic and tests the carrying value for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year. The goodwill impairment analysis is a two-step process. The first step used to identify potential impairment involves comparing each reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. To estimate the fair value of its reporting units, the Company used a discounted cash flow model. Significant judgment is required by management in developing the assumptions for the discounted cash flow model. These assumptions include cash flow projections utilizing revenue growth rates, profit margin percentages, discount rates, market/economic conditions, etc. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is considered to not be impaired. If the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, there is an indication of potential impairment and the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment. The second step of the process involves the calculation of an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which step one indicated a potential impairment. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit as calculated in step one, over the estimated fair values of the individual assets, liabilities and identified intangibles.

The Company’s fair value estimates are subject to change as a result of many factors including, among others, any changes in its business plans, changing economic conditions and the competitive environment. Should actual cash flows and future estimates vary adversely from those estimates used, the Company may be required to recognize goodwill impairment charges in future years.

The Company’s entire goodwill balance of $7.8 million as of December 31, 2009 relates to its Monty’s property which operates in two of the Company reportable segments (Restaurant and real estate/marina rentals and related).

Deferred loan costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the loan. This method approximates the effective interest rate method.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts in the prior year's consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

Non controlling Interest. Non controlling interest (formerly referred to as minority interest) represents the non controlling or minority partners' proportionate share of the equity of the Company's majority owned subsidiaries. A summary for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

	2009			2008
Non controlling interest balance at beginning of year	$	3,990,000		$	3,052,000
Non controlling partners’ interest in operating losses of consolidated subsidiaries		(36,000	)		(72,000	)
Net contributions from non controlling partners		26,000			1,828,000
Unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate swap agreement		506,000			(815,000	)
Other		-			(3,000	)
Non controlling interest balance at end of year	$	4,486,000		$	3,990,000

Revenue Recognition. The Company is the lessor of various real estate properties. All of the lease agreements are classified as operating leases and accordingly all rental revenue is recognized as earned based upon total fixed cash flow over the initial term of the lease, using the straight line method. Percentage rents are based upon tenant sales levels for a specified period and are recognized on the accrual basis, based on the lessee’s monthly sales. Reimbursed expenses for real estate taxes, common area maintenance, utilities and insurance are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred, based upon the provisions of the tenant’s lease. In addition to base rent, the Company may receive participation rent consisting of a portion of the tenant’s operating surplus, as defined in the lease agreement. Participation rent is due at end of each lease year and recognized when earned. Revenues earned from restaurant and marina operations are in cash or cash equivalents with an insignificant amount of customer receivables.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its properties and long-lived assets in relation to historical results, current business conditions and trends to identify potential situations in which the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. If such reviews indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable, the Company would estimate the undiscounted sum of the expected future cash flows of such assets or analyze the fair value of the asset, to determine if such sum or fair value is less than the carrying value of such assets to ascertain if a permanent impairment exists. If a permanent impairment exists, the Company would determine the fair value by using quoted market prices, if available, for such assets, or if quoted market prices are not available, the Company would discount the expected future cash flows of such assets and would adjust the carrying value of the asset to fair value.

Share-Based Compensation.

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123 (revised 2004), ‘Share-Based Payments: (SFAS 123(R)’). The Company has used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options on the dates of grant.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

In September 2009, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for nongovernmental entities, except for certain FASB Statements not yet incorporated into ASC. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for registrants. The discussion below includes the applicable ASC reference.

The Company adopted ASC Topic 810-10 Consolidation (formerly SFAS No. 160, Non controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51) effective January 2, 2009. Topic 810-10 changes the manner of presentation and related disclosures for the non controlling interest in a subsidiary (formerly referred to as a minority interest) and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The presentation changes are reflected retrospectively in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

ASC Topic 815-10 Derivatives and Hedging (formerly SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities) was adopted by the Company effective January 2, 2009. The guidance under Topic 815-10 changes the manner of presentation and related disclosures of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses.

The Company adopted ASC Topic 825-10 Financial Instruments (formerly, FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments), which requires quarterly disclosure of information about the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of Topic 825-10. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective April 1, 2009. This disclosure is in included in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 820-10-65 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly). The standard provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with Topic 820-10-65 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate if a transaction is not orderly. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective April 1, 2009 with no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted, ASC Topic 855-10 Subsequent Events (formerly SFAS 165, Subsequent Events) effective April 1, 2009. This pronouncement changes the general standards of accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Management has evaluated the impact of events occurring after December 31, 2009 up to the date of issuance of these financial statements. These statements contain all necessary adjustments and disclosures resulting from that evaluation.

In June 2009, the FASB finalized SFAS No. 167, Amending FASB interpretation No. 46(R), which was included in ASC Topic 810. The provisions of ASC 810 amend the definition of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and will require the Company to make an assessment each reporting period of its variable interests. The provisions of this pronouncement are effective January 1, 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact of the statement on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 168 codified all previously issued accounting pronouncements, eliminating the prior hierarchy of accounting literature, in a single source for authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. SFAS 168, now ASC Topic 105-10 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which clarifies, among other things, that when a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, an entity must measure fair value using one or more specified techniques. The Company adopted the pronouncement effective July 1, 2009 with no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which revises the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance and changes the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element revenue arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting, modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables and expands the disclosures required for multiple-element revenue arrangements. The pronouncement is effective for financial statements issued after December 31, 2010. The Company does not expect the pronouncement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

3. MONTY’S RESTAURANT, MARINA AND OFFICE/RETAIL PROPERTY, COCONUT GROVE, FLORIDA

The Company owns a 50% equity interest in two entities, Bayshore Landing, LLC (“Landing”) and Bayshore Rawbar, LLC (“Rawbar”), (collectively, “Bayshore”) which own and operate a restaurant, office/retail and marina property located in Coconut Grove (Miami), Florida known as Monty’s (“Monty’s”). The other 50% owner of Bayshore is The Christoph Family Trust (“CFT”). Members of CFT are experienced real estate and marina operators. The Monty’s property is subject to a ground lease with the City of Miami, Florida which expires on May 31, 2035. Under the lease Bayshore pays percentage rents ranging from 8% to 15% of gross revenues from various components of the project. Total rent paid for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $885,000 and $838,000, respectively.

The Monty’s property consists of a two story building with approximately 40,000 rentable square feet and approximately 3.7 acres of submerged land with a 132-boat slip marina. It includes a 16,000 square foot indoor-outdoor raw bar restaurant and 24,000 square feet of office/retail space of which approximately 22,000 are presently leased to tenants operating boating and marina related businesses. As of December 31, 2009 there are approximately 1,800 square feet of potential leased retail space to be leased.

The excess of capitalized cost assigned to specific assets over the 2004 purchase price of Monty’s is approximately $7,729,000 and was recorded as goodwill. Since goodwill is an indefinite-lived intangible asset it is reviewed for impairment at each reporting period or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce fair value below carrying amount. Goodwill is carried at historical cost if its estimated fair value is greater than its carrying amounts. However, if its estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount, goodwill is reduced to its estimated fair value through an impairment charge to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. There was no impairment of goodwill at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Since the acquisition in August 2004, improvements totaling approximately $6.2 million have been made to the Monty’s property, net of disposals. These improvements primarily consisted of the expansion of the restaurant to provide an indoor area, improvements to the office/retail space which includes approximately 24,000 square feet leased or available for lease as of December 31, 2009 and parking lot and landscaping improvement to the property.

The Monty’s property was purchased with proceeds from an acquisition and construction bank loan secured by the property in the amount of $13.3 million plus approximately $3.9 million in cash. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 the outstanding balance of the loan was $11.2 million and $11.8 million, respectively. The loan calls for monthly principal payments necessary to fully amortize the principal amount over the remaining life of the loan maturing in February 2021, plus accrued interest. The outstanding principal balance of the bank loan bears interest at a rate of 2.45% per annum in excess of the LIBOR Rate. At acquisition in 2004 Bayshore entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the same lender to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuation through the entire term of the mortgage. The effect of the swap agreement is to provide a fixed interest rate of 7.57%.

Summarized combined statements of income for Landing and Rawbar for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are presented below (Note: the Company’s ownership percentage in these operations is 50%):

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 (see table below). These securities are stated at market value, as determined by the most recently 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. Accordingly all unrealized gains and losses on this portfolio are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 net unrealized gain (loss) on trading securities were approximately $1,129,000 and ($1,383,000), respectively.

Consistent with the Company’s overall current investment objectives and activities the entire marketable securities portfolio is classified as trading (versus available for sale, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles). Unrealized gains or loss of marketable securities on hand are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

5. OTHER INVESTMENTS

The Company’s other investments consist primarily of nominal equity interests in various privately-held entities, including limited partnerships whose purpose is to invest venture capital funds in growth-oriented enterprises. The Company does not have significant influence over any investee and the Company’s investment represents less than 3% of the investee’s ownership. None of these investments meet the criteria of accounting under the equity method and are carried at cost less distributions and other than temporary unrealized losses.

The Company’s portfolio of other investments consists of approximately 25 individual investments primarily in limited partnerships with varying investment objectives and focus. Management has categorized these investments by investment focus (technology & communications, diversified businesses/distressed debt, real estate related and stock & debt funds).

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 other investments had an aggregate carrying value of $3.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The Company has committed to fund an additional $919,000 as required by agreements with the investees. The carrying value of these investments is equal to contributions less distributions and loss valuation adjustments. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Company contributed approximately $527,000 and $659,000, respectively, toward these commitments and received distributions from these investments (consisting of cash and stock distributions) of $393,000 and $1.8 million, respectively.

The Company’s other investments are summarized below.

	Carrying values as of December 31,
Investment Focus	2009		2008
Venture capital funds – technology and communications	$	526,000	$	637,000
Venture capital funds – diversified businesses		1,386,000		1,404,000
Real estate and related		1,362,000		1,387,000
Stock and debt funds		-		300,000
Other		250,000		5,000
Totals	$	3,524,000	$	3,733,000

The Company regularly reviews the underlying assets in its investment portfolio for events, including but not limited to bankruptcies, closures and declines in estimated fair value, that may indicate the investment has suffered other-than-temporary decline in value. When a decline is deemed other-than-temporary, an investment loss is recognized.

Net income from other investments is summarized below (excluding other than temporary impairment loss):

	2009		2008
Partnerships owning stocks and bonds (a)	$	22,000	$	392,000
Venture capital funds – diversified businesses (b)		31,000		208,000
Venture capital funds – technology & communications		12,000		22,000
Income from investment in 49% owned affiliate (c)		74,000		40,000
Other		15,000		5,000
Total net income from other investments	$	154,000	$	665,000

(a)	In 2009 and 2008 amounts consist of gains from the full redemption of investments in private equity funds that invested in equities, debt or debt like securities.

(b)	In 2008 amounts consist primarily of gains from distributions of investments in two private limited partnerships which own interests in various diversified businesses, primarily in the manufacturing and production related sectors.

(c)

Other than temporary impairment losses from other investments

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 approximately$423,000 and $37,000, respectively, of valuation losses from other than temporary impairment losses from other investments were recorded. In 2009 this primarily consisted of valuation losses of $150,000 from two private partnerships investing in technology and communication business, $130,000 from two private partnerships investing in diversified businesses and $138,000 from three investments in private partnerships owning real estate. In 2008 the valuation loss was in one investment owning a limited real estate partnership interest.

(c)

(d)	In 2009 amount primarily consists of write downs of two investments in private limited partnerships owning technology related entities. These investments experienced other than temporary impairment in value of approximately $150,000.

Net gain or loss from other investments 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 gain or loss from other investments for any given period has no predictive value and variations in amount from period to period have no practical analytical value.

In accordance with ASC Topic 320-10-65 (formerly FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2), Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, which amends the recognition guidance for other-than-temporary impairments (OTTI) of debt securities and expands the financial statement disclosure for OTTI on debt and equity securities (this FSP only applies to the Company’s other investments, not its investment in marketable equity and debt securities for which mark to market adjustments are already recorded in the Company’s income statement ).

The following tables present gross unrealized losses and fair values for those investments that were in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009, aggregated by investment category and the length of time that investments have been in a continuous loss position:

6. INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACT

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through its borrowing activities. In order to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap contract under which the Company agrees to pay an amount equal to a specified rate of 7.57% times a notional principal approximating the outstanding loan balance, and to receive in return an amount equal to 2.45% plus the one-month LIBOR Rate times the same notional amount. The Company designated this interest rate swap contract as a cash flow hedge. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 the fair value of the cash flow hedge was a loss of approximately $1,144,000 and $2,156,000, respectively, which has been recorded as other comprehensive loss and will be reclassified to interest expense over the life of the swap contract.

The following tables present the required disclosures in accordance with ASC Topic 815-10 (formerly, SFAS 161):

7. FAIR VALUE INSTRUMENTS

In accordance with ASC Topic 820 (formerly SFAS 157), the Company measures cash equivalents, marketable securities, other investments and interest rate swap contract at fair value. Our cash equivalents, marketable securities and interest rate swap contract are classified within Level 1 or Level 2. This is because our cash equivalents, marketable securities and interest rate swap are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. Our other investments are classified within Level 3 because they are valued using valuation models which use some inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity and are significant.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Subsequent fair value measurement for the financial instruments and liabilities an entity chooses to measure will be recognized in earnings. As of December 31, 2009, we did not elect such option for our financial instruments and liabilities.

14. INCOME TAXES

The Company (excluding CII) qualifies as a real estate investment trust and distributes its taxable ordinary income to stockholders in conformity with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and is not required to report deferred items due to its ability to distribute all taxable income. In addition, net operating losses can be carried forward to reduce future taxable income but cannot be carried back. Distributed capital gains on sales of real estate as they relate to REIT activities are not subject to taxes; however, undistributed capital gains may be subject to corporate tax.

The Company’s 95%-owned subsidiary, CII, files a separate income tax return and its operations are not included in the REIT’s income tax return.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109), “Accounting for Income Taxes”. SFAS No. 109 requires a Company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred taxes only pertain to CII. As a result of timing differences associated with the carrying value of other investments and depreciable assets and the future benefit of a net operating loss, the Company has recorded a net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 of $458,000 and $366,000, respectively. A valuation allowance against deferred tax asset has not been established as it is more likely than not, based on the Company’s previous history, that these assets will be realized.

As of December 31, 2009 the Company (excluding CII) has an estimated net operating loss carryover of approximately $3.1 million of which $798,000 expires in 2029, $422,000 expires in 2028, $500,000 expires in 2027, $786,000 expires in 2026 and $571,000 in 2025.

As of December 31, 2009 CII has an estimated net operating loss carryover (NOL) of approximately $774,000 which expires as follows:

NOL			Expiration Year
$236,000			2029
$81,000			2028
$13,000			2026
$14,000			2024
$386,000			2022
$44,000			2018
$774,000			Total

The components of income before income taxes and the effect of adjustments to tax computed at the federal statutory rate for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

	2009			2008
Loss before income taxes	$	(177,000	)	$	(1,747,000	)
Computed tax at federal statutory rate of 34%	$	(60,000	)	$	(594,000	)

Other items, net		6,000			(123,000	)
Benefit from income taxes	$	(92,000	)	$	(130,000	)

The REIT related adjustments – current year represents the difference between estimated taxes on undistributed income and/or capital gains and book taxes computed on the REIT’s income before income taxes. In 2009 the Company recorded unrealized gains from investments in marketable securities which are not included in taxable income of approximately $931,000. The estimated tax effect of these unrealized book gains in excess of tax gains was $368,000. Also, in 2009 the Company recorded valuation losses for book purposes in excess of tax of $316,000. The estimated tax effect of these book investment losses in excess of tax losses was approximately $125,000.

The benefit from income taxes in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income consists of the following:

15. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In November 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the 2000 Stock Option Plan, which was approved by the shareholders in June 2001. The Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the officers and directors of the Company. Under the 2000 Plan, options are vested immediately upon grant and may be exercised at any time within ten years from the date of grant. Options are not transferable and expire upon termination of employment, except to a limited extent in the event of retirement,

disability or death of the grantee. On June 25, 2001, options were granted to all officers and directors to purchase an aggregate of 86,000 common shares at no less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of grant. The average exercise price of the options granted in 2001 was $7.84 per share. The Company’s stock price on the date of grant was $7.57 per share. The stock options expire June 25, 2011.

There were no options granted, exercised or forfeited in 2009 and 2008.

16. OPERATING LEASES AS LESSOR

Lease of Grove Isle hotel property. In November 2008 the lessee of Grove Isle, Westgroup Grove Isle Associates, Ltd., an affiliate of Noble House Resorts, Inc. (“NHR”) assigned its leasehold interest to Grove Hotel Partners, LLC an affiliate of Grand Heritage Hotel Group, LLC (“GH”). GH operates over a dozen independent hotels and resorts across North America and Mexico. The Company approved the assignment of the lease to GH which assumed all terms of the original lease with NHR. The lease termination date remains November 30, 2016, if not extended as provided in the lease. Base rent was $1,184,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and will remain the same in 2010. The lease also calls for participation rent consisting of a portion of operating surplus, as defined. Participation rent when and if due is payable at end of each lease year. There has been no participation rent since the inception of the lease.

In conjunction with the aforementioned lease assignment, NHR also assigned its 50% interest in the Grove Isle Spa (“GS”) to GH which will manage the day to day operations of the spa under the same management agreement as the Company previously had with NHR. GS sub-leases the Grove Isle Spa property from GH under a lease agreement which expires on November 30, 2016, with GS having the right to extend the term for two additional consecutive 20 year terms. Annual base rent of the sublease is $10,000, plus GS pays real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and all other costs relating to operation of the spa. GS began operations in the first quarter of 2005. The spa operates under the name “Spa Terre at the Grove” and offers a variety of body treatments, salon services, facial care and massage therapies.

Lease of Monty’s property. Bayshore, as landlord, leases various office and dock space under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2035. Annual minimum lease payments due from leases to non-combined, third party tenants under non-cancelable operating leases are included in the table below.

Minimum lease payments receivable. The Company leases its commercial and industrial properties under agreements for which substantially all of the leases specify a base rent and a rent based on tenant sales (or other benchmark) exceeding a specified percentage. There was no percentage rent in 2009 and 2008.

These leases are classified as operating leases and generally require the tenant to pay all costs associated with the property. Minimum annual rentals on non-cancelable leases in effect at December 31, 2009, are as follows:

Year ending December 31,		Amount
2010		$2,022,000

18. AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

On December 11, 2009 an Information Statement was filed with the SEC in connection with the approval by the holders of a majority of our voting stock of certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to (i) decrease the number of our authorized Common stock from one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000) shares par value $1 to one million two hundred thousand (1,200,000) shares par value $1, (ii) to decrease the number of our authorized Excess common stock from five hundred thousand (500,000) shares par value $1 to one hundred thousand (100,000) shares par value $1 and (iii) to eliminate our entire authorized class of preferred stock par value $1.

The amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation were effective on December 31, 2009.

On November 4, 2009 the Company’s board of directors passed resolutions authorizing shareholder action to consider amendments to our certificate of incorporation and the filing of such amendments with the Delaware Secretary of State.

On December 1, 2009 the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote executed a written consent in accordance with the provisions set forth in §228 of the Delaware Corporation Law that approved the amendments to our certificate of incorporation.

The primary reason for reducing our authorized Common stock and Excess common stock, and eliminating our entire authorized class of Preferred stock is to decrease the number of shares available for issuance and to save the Company a significant portion (approximately $10,000 per annum) of the franchise taxes payable under the Delaware Corporation Law.

Outstanding Equity Awards to Executive Officers.

The following table summarizes all outstanding equity awards to the Company’s executive officers as of December 31, 2009. These options are all exercisable, with no unearned options outstanding and expiration date of June 25, 2011.

Executive Officer	Number of Options	Exercise Price	Expiration Date
Maurice Wiener	28,500	$8.33 per share	June 25, 2011
Maurice Wiener	12,000	$12.25 per share	June 25, 2011

Stock Options. In November 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), which was approved by the shareholders in June 2001. The Plan, which permits the grant of qualified and non-qualified options expires in June 2011, and is intended to provide incentives to the directors and employees (the “employees") of the Company, as well as to enable the Company to obtain and retain the services of such employees. The Plan is administered by a Stock Option Committee (the "Committee") appointed by the Board of Directors. The Committee selects those key officers and employees of the Company to whom options for shares of common stock of the Company shall be granted. The Committee determines the purchase price of shares deliverable upon exercise of an option; such price may not, however, be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date the option is granted. Payment of the purchase price may be made in cash, Company stock, or by delivery of a promissory note, except that the par value of the stock must be paid in cash or Company stock. Shares purchased by delivery of a note must be pledged to the Company. Shares subject to an option may be purchased by the optionee within ten years from the date of the grant of the option. However, options automatically terminate if the optionee's employment with the Company terminates other than by reason of death, disability or retirement. Further, if, within one year following exercise of any option, an optionee terminates his employment other than by reason of death, disability or retirement, the shares acquired upon exercise of such option must be sold to the Company at a price equal to the lesser of the purchase price of the shares or their fair market value.

On June 25, 2001, options were granted to all officers and directors to purchase an aggregate of 86,000 common shares at no less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of grant. The average exercise price of the options granted in 2001 is $7.84 per share. The Company’s stock price on the date of grant was $7.57 per share.

There were no options granted, exercised or forfeited in 2009 and 2008.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence. The following discussion describes the organizational structure of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates.

Transco Realty Trust (“Transco”).

Transco is a 47% shareholder of the Company of which Mr. Wiener is its executive trustee and holds 34% of its stock.

HMG Advisory Corp. (the “Adviser”) and subsidiaries.

The day-to-day operations of the Company are handled by the Adviser, as described above under Item 1. Business "Advisory Agreement." The Adviser is majority owned by Mr. Wiener, its Chairman and CEO.

In August 2004 the HMG Advisory Bayshore, Inc. (“HMGABS”) (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser) was formed for the purposes of overseeing the Monty’s restaurant operations acquired in August 2004. HMGABS will receive a management fee of $25,000 per year from Bayshore Rawbar, LLC. In 2009 no management fee was due HMGABS. For each of the years ended December 31, 2004 through December 2008, HMGABS earned $25,000 per year in management fees. HMGABS is owed approximately $108,000 from Bayshore Rawbar, LLC for such fees as of December 31, 2009.

Reference is made to Item 1. Business and Item 1. Business and Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further information about the remuneration of the Adviser.

Courtland Investments, Inc. (“CII”).

The Company holds a 95% non-voting interest and Masscap Investment Company ("Masscap") holds a 5% voting interest in CII. In May 1998, the Company and Masscap entered into a written agreement in order to confirm and clarify the terms of their previous continuing arrangement with regard to the ongoing operations of CII, all of which provide the Company with complete authority over all decision making relating to the business, operation, and financing of CII consistent with the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust.

CII and its wholly-owned subsidiary own 100% of Grove Isle Club, Inc., Grove Isle Yacht Club Associates, Grove Isle Marina, Inc., CII Spa, LLC, Courtland Bayshore Rawbar, LLC and it also owns 15% of Grove Isle Associates, Ltd., (the Company owns the other 85%).

T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“T.G.I.F.”).

CII owns approximately 49% of the outstanding shares of T.G.I.F. Mr. Wiener is a director and chairman of T.G.I.F. and owns, directly and indirectly, approximately 18% of the outstanding shares of T.G.I.F. T.G.I.F also owns 10,000 shares of the Company’s stock.

The following discussion describes all material transactions, receivables and payables involving related parties. All of the transactions described below were on terms as favorable to the Company as comparable transactions with unaffiliated third parties.

The Adviser.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Adviser owed the Company (net of amounts due to HMGABS described above) approximately $290,000 and $288,000, respectively. Amounts due from the Adviser bear interest at the prime rate plus 1% payable monthly, with principal due on demand.

The Adviser leases its executive offices from CII pursuant to a lease agreement. This lease agreement is at the going market rate for similar property and calls for base rent of $48,000 per year payable in equal monthly installments. Additionally, the Adviser is responsible for all utilities, maintenance, and security expenses relating to the leased premises. The lease term is five years expiring in November 2014.

South Bayshore Associates (“SBA”).

SBA is a joint venture in which Transco and the Company hold interests of 25% and 75%, respectively. The sole major asset of SBA is a demand note from Transco, bearing interest at the prime rate, with an outstanding balance of approximately $300,000 in principal and interest as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

The Company also holds a demand note from SBA bearing interest at the prime rate plus 1% with an outstanding balance as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 of approximately $1,125,000 and $1,106,000, in principal and accrued interest, respectively. Interest payments of $10,000 and $15,000 were made in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Accrued and unpaid interest is not added to the principal. Because the Company consolidates SBA, the note payable and related interest income is eliminated in consolidation.

CII.

The Company holds a demand note due from its 95%-owned consolidated subsidiary, CII, bearing interest at the prime rate plus 1% with an outstanding balance of $2,473,000 and $2,563,000 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Advances from the Company to CII during 2009 and 2008 were $100,000 and $210,000, respectively. Repayments from CII to the Company during 2009 and 2008 were $190,000 and $1.6 million, respectively. Because CII is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, the note payable and related interest is eliminated in consolidation.

In 1986, CII acquired from the Company the rights to develop the marina at Grove Isle for a promissory note of $620,000 payable at an annual rate equal to the prime rate. The principal is due on demand. Interest payments are due annually in January. Because the Company consolidates CII, the note payable and related interest income is eliminated in consolidation.

Courtland Houston, Inc. (“CHI”)

CHI is 80%-owned by CII and 20% owned by Bernard Lerner, its sole employee. CHI was formed with a $140,000 investment by CII and engages in commercial leasing activities in Texas and earns commission and other consulting revenue. Mr. Lerner is a cousin of the Company’s Chairman and CEO Mr. Maurice Wiener. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 Mr. Lerner was paid a salary of $85,000. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 CHI reported revenues of approximately $50,000 and $168,000, respectively.

CII Spa, LLC.

As more fully discussed in Item 2.Description of Property, in September 2004 the Company entered into an agreement with the lessee and operator of the Grove Isle property to develop and operate the Grove Isle Spa. A subsidiary of the Company, CII Spa, LLC (“CIISPA”) and the lessee formed a Delaware limited liability company, Grove Spa, LLC (“GS”) which is owned 50% by CIISPA and 50% by the tenant operator of Grove Isle, Grand Heritage Hotel Group, LLC (“GH”). Operations commenced in March 2005 and GS sub-leases the Spa property from the GH for $10,000 per year, plus GS pays all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and all other costs relating to Grove Isle Spa. The initial term of the sublease commenced on September 15, 2004 and ends on November 30, 2016, with the GS having the right to extend the term for two additional consecutive 20 year terms on the same terms as the original sublease.

T.G.I.F.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, CII owed approximately $3,561,000 and $3,661,000, respectively, to T.G.I.F. All advances between CII and T.G.I.F. are due on demand and bear interest at the prime rate plus 1%. All interest due has been paid.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, T.G.I.F. had amounts due from Mr. Wiener of approximately $707,000. These amounts are due on demand and bear interest at the prime rate. All interest due has been paid. Mr. Wiener received consulting and director’s fees from T.G.I.F of approximately $22,000 and $37,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Also, T.G.I.F. owns 10,000 shares of the Company which were purchased in 1996 at the market value. In 2009 and 2008 T.G.I.F. declared and paid a cash dividend of $.05 and $.08 per share, respectively. CII’s portion of the dividends was approximately $140,000 and $224,000, respectively.
