INVESTMENTS | INVESTMENTS Investment in Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships On November 27, 2013, Barnwell, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into two limited liability limited partnerships, KD Kona 2013 LLLP (“KD Kona”) and KKM Makai, LLLP (“KKM”), and indirectly acquired a 19.6% non-controlling ownership interest in each of KD Kukio Resorts, LLLP, KD Maniniowali, LLLP and KD Kaupulehu, LLLP (“KDK”) for $5,140,000. These entities, collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships,” own certain real estate and development rights interests in the Kukio, Maniniowali and Kaupulehu portions of Kukio Resort, a private residential community on the Kona coast of the island of Hawaii, as well as Kukio Resort’s real estate sales office operations. KDK holds interests in KD Acquisition, LLLP (“KD I”) and KD Acquisition II, LP, formerly KD Acquisition II, LLLP (“KD II”). KD I is the developer of Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increment I (“Increment I”), and KD II is the developer of Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increment II (“Increment II”). Barnwell’s ownership interests in the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In March 2019, KD II admitted a new development partner, Replay Kaupulehu Development, LLC (“Replay”), a party unrelated to Barnwell, in an effort to move forward with development of the remainder of Increment II at Kaupulehu. KDK and Replay hold ownership interests of 55% and 45%, respectively, of KD II and Barnwell has a 10.8% indirect non-controlling ownership interest in KD II through KDK, which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Barnwell continues to have an indirect 19.6% non-controlling ownership interest in KD Kukio Resorts, LLLP, KD Maniniowali, LLLP, and KD I. The partnerships derive income from the sale of residential parcels in Increment I, of which only one lot remains to be sold as of June 30, 2023, as well as from commissions on real estate sales by the real estate sales office and revenues resulting from the sale of private club memberships. Increment II is not yet under development, and there is no assurance that development of such acreage will occur. No definitive development plans have been made by KD II, the developer of Increment II, as of the date of this report. Barnwell has the right to receive distributions from the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships via its non-controlling interest in KD Kona and KKM, based on its respective partnership sharing ratios of 75% and 34.45%, respectively. No cash distributions were received during the three months ended June 30, 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, Barnwell received cash distributions of $433,000 from the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships resulting in a net amount of $385,000 after distributing $48,000 to non-controlling interests. During the nine months ended June 30, 2023, Barnwell received cash distributions of $538,000 from the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships resulting in a net amount of $478,000, after distributing $60,000 to non-controlling interests.
