For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, net unrealized gains from trading securities were $57,000 and $87,000, respectively. This is compared to net unrealized losses of $209,000 and $256,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, net realized loss from sales of marketable securities of approximately $12,000 consisted of $35,000 of gross losses net of $23,000 of gross gains. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 net realized gain from sales of marketable securities of approximately $55,000 consisted of $126,000 of gross gains net of $71,000 of gross losses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 net realized gain from sales of marketable securities of approximately $36,000 consisted of $65,000 of gross gains net of $29,000 of gross losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 net realized gain from sales of marketable securities of approximately $115,000 consisted of $169,000 of gross gains net of $54,000 of gross losses.

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

5.   OTHER INVESTMENTS
As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s portfolio of other investments had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $3.7 million.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company has committed to fund approximately $812,000 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company contributed a total of $227,000 in other investments.  These contributions include one new investment in a medical technology related company for $51,000 which was fully funded in January 2012 and follow on contributions totaling $176,000 towards funding commitments in various other existing investments. Cash distributions received from other investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled approximately $528,000, including $274,000 from real estate funds, $234,000 from funds investing in diversified businesses and $20,000 from investments in technology related partnerships.

When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis.
 
In accordance with ASC Topic 320-10-65, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $28,000 from an investment in a partnership which operates and leases executive suites in Miami, Florida during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company has funded $120,000 to date in this investment and the losses incurred were associated with the initial start up of the venture in 2010. In June 2011 the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $84,000 from this same investment. There were no OTTI impairment valuation adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

 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 amount 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 September 30, 2012 the fair value of this hedge was an unrealized loss of approximately $2,066,000, as compared to an unrealized loss of $1,975,000 as of December 31, 2011 which resulted in an unrealized loss of $91,000 (or $45,500, net of non-controlling interest) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  This amount has been recorded as other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to interest expense over the life of the contract.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
In accordance with ASC Topic 820, 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 observable market 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.

(a)  
Other investments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent such as member units or an ownership interest in partners’ capital to which a proportionate share of net assets is attributed, “NAV”).  This class primarily consists of private equity funds that have varying investment focus.  These investments can never be redeemed with the funds. Instead, the nature of the investments in this class is that distributions are received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of the fund.  If these investments were held it is estimated that the underlying assets of the fund would be liquidated over 5 to 10 years.  As of September 30, 2012, it is probable that all of the investments in this class will be sold at an amount different from the NAV of the Company’s ownership interest in partners’ capital.  Therefore, the fair values of the investments in this class have been estimated using recent observable information such as audited financial statements and/or statements of partners’ capital obtained directly from investees on a quarterly or other regular basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company made contributions totaling $227,000 in this type of investment.  These contributions include one new investment in a medical technology related company for $51,000 which was fully funded in January 2012 and follow on contributions totaling $176,000 towards funding commitments in various other existing investments. As of September 30, 2012, the amount of the Company’s unfunded commitments related to the aforementioned investments is approximately $812,000.

(b)  
Other investments above which are measured on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 unobservable inputs consist of investments primarily in commercial real estate in Florida through private partnerships and two investments in the stock of private banks in Florida and Texas.  The Company does not know when it will have the ability to redeem the investments and has categorized them as a Level 3 fair value measurement.  The Level 3 real estate and related investments of approximately $953,000 include one investment in a commercial building located near the Company’s offices purchased in 2005 with a carrying value as of September 30, 2012 of $724,000.  These investments are measured using primarily inputs provided by the managing member of the partnerships with whom the Company has done similar transactions in the past and is well known to management.  The fair values of these real estate investments have been estimated using the net asset value of the Company’s ownership interest in partners’ capital. The investments in private bank stocks include a private bank and trust located in Coral Gables, Florida in the amount of $250,000 made in 2009, and a $50,000 investment in a bank located in El Campo, Texas made in 2010. The fair values of these bank stock investments have been estimated using the cost method less distributions received and other than temporary impairments. This investment is valued using inputs provided by the management of the banks.
 
The following table includes a roll-forward of the investments classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

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

9. INCOME TAXES
We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” on January 1, 2007.  This topic clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “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. Topic 740-10 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 consolidated financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of September 30, 2012.
     
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 consolidated financial statements as general and administrative expense.

10. COMMON STOCK
During September 2012, we repurchased 18,100 shares of our common stock under a stock repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors in November 2008.  The cost of the shares was $112,200.  These shares plus 13,529 previously-acquired shares - representing the entire balance of unretired treasury shares - were retired during the three months ended September 30, 2012.  The par value of the retired shares was charged to common stock, with the excess of the purchase price over par value charged to additional paid-in capital.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company reported net losses of approximately $94,000 ($.09 per share) and $230,000 ($.23 per share), respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company reported net income of approximately $139,000 ($.14 per share) and a net loss of $618,000 ($.61 per share), respectively.
 
 
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared with the same period in 2011, increased by approximately $142,000 or 2%.  Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared with the same period in 2011 remained essentially unchanged.

Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared with the same period in 2011, decreased by approximately $401,000 or 5%.  Total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared with the same period in 2011, decreased by approximately $210,000 or 8%.

REVENUES
Rentals and related revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared with the same period in 2011 increased by $26,000 (5%) and $60,000 (4%), respectively.  This was primarily as a result of increased rental income from tenants at the Monty’s Property and also due to annual inflation adjustment in rent due from the tenant at Grove Isle.

Restaurant operations:

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

Interest, dividend and other income:
Interest, dividend and other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was approximately $43,000 and $112,000, respectively.  This is as compared to income of approximately $34,000 and $160,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This decrease of $48,000 (30%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in service related income from the Company’s subsidiary Courtland Houston.

EXPENSES
Expenses for rental and other properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $179,000 and $479,000, respectively.  This is as compared to the same expenses of approximately $212,000 and $560,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decreases in the three and nine month comparable periods of $33,000 (15%) and $81,000 (14%), respectively was due to decreased expenses of the Company’s Monty’s real estate operations, including decreased repairs, maintenance and insurance expense.

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

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

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

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 decreased by $14,000 (6%) and $186,000 (22%), respectively. The decrease in the nine month comparable periods was primarily due to the non-recurring amortization expense of loan costs associated with the Monty’s loan modification completed in March 2011.

General and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 decreased by approximately $33,000 (29%) and $16,000 (6%), respectively. This was primarily due to a decrease in non-employee stock compensation expense.
 
Professional fees and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 decreased by $62,000 (57%) and $133,000 (44%), respectively.  These changes were primarily due to lower legal costs relating to ongoing Grove Isle litigation.

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 $3.2 million in 2012 and contributions committed to other investments of approximately $812,000 due upon demand.  The funds necessary to meet these obligations are expected to come from the proceeds from the sales of properties or investments, bank loans, refinancing of existing bank loans, distributions from investments and available cash.

In June 2012 the Company renewed and modified the existing bank mortgage note payable on the Grove Isle property with the same lender.  The renewal and modification extends the maturity date to June 30, 2016 and calls for the same monthly principal payments of $10,000 plus interest calculated at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 3% with an interest rate floor 4.5%.

Included in the maturing debt obligations for 2012 is a note payable to the Company’s 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. (“TGIF”) of approximately $3.1 million due on demand. The obligation due to TGIF will be paid with funds available from distributions from its investment in TGIF and from available cash.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $341,000. This consisted primarily of approximately $971,000 in net proceeds from sales of marketable securities and distributions from other investment of $528,000.  These sources of funds were partially offset by purchases of marketable securities of $694,000, contributions to other investments of $227,000 and additions to fixed assets of $228,000.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $529,000 consisting of loan principal repayments of $417,000 and purchase of treasury stock of $112,000.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
(a)  
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that material information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries, which we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, was made known to them by others within those entities and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

(b)  
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter which have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.     Legal Proceedings
The Company was 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 claim by the association has been dismissed as to all counts related to the Company; however the association has filed an appeal.  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 consolidated financial statements.
