4.            Property


Land


Most the Company’s 23,300 acres of land were acquired between 1911 and 1932 and is carried on the consolidated balance sheet at cost. Approximately 21,300 acres of land are located in West Maui and comprise a largely contiguous parcel that extends from the sea to an elevation of approximately 5,700 feet and includes approximately 900 acres within the Kapalua Resort.


Land Improvements and Buildings


Land improvements and buildings are largely comprised of restaurants, commercial retail and light industrial buildings located at the Kapalua Resort and used in the Company’s leasing operations. Some of the buildings and land improvements were constructed and placed in service in the mid-to-late 1970s. Depreciation expense would be considerably higher if fixed assets were stated at current cost.


Machinery and Equipment


Machinery and equipment are mainly comprised of zipline course equipment installed in late 2000 at the Kapalua Resort and used in the Company’s leasing operations.


 Construction in Progress


Construction in progress is comprised primarily of a potable water well that was drilled and tested in Upcountry Maui but has not been placed into service.
