Description
of Business and Basis of Presentation
|
Description
of Business
The St. Joe Company (the Company) is a real estate
development company primarily engaged in residential, commercial
and industrial development and rural land sales. The Company
also has significant interests in timber. Most of its real
estate operations, as well as its timber operations, are within
the state of Florida.
Basis
of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on
Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements are not included herein. The consolidated
interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2009 balance
sheet amounts have been derived from the Companys
December 31, 2009 audited financial statements.
The statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in
the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation
of the information contained herein. The consolidated interim
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Companys
Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company adheres
to the same accounting policies in preparation of its interim
financial statements. As permitted under generally accepted
accounting principles, interim accounting for certain expenses,
including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions. For
interim financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded
based upon estimated annual income tax rates.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the current periods presentation.
Correction
of Prior Period Error
In the first quarter of 2010, the Company determined that
approximately $2.6 million ($1.6 million net of tax)
of stock compensation expense related to the acceleration of the
service period for retirement eligible employees should have
been recognized in periods prior to 2010. Accordingly, the
consolidated balance sheet for December 31, 2009 has been
adjusted to reduce deferred income taxes, net, by
$1.0 million and increase common stock by $2.6 million
to reflect the correction of this error, with a corresponding
$1.6 million reduction recorded to retained earnings. This
correction is similarly reflected as an adjustment to common
stock and retained earnings as of December 31, 2009 in the
consolidated statement of changes in equity. The correction of
this error also impacted the consolidated statements of
operations and cash flows for the three months ending
March 31, 2009. These corrections were not considered
material to prior period financial statements.
New
Accounting Standards
In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued FASB Accounting Standard Update
(ASU) ASU
No. 2010-09,
Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain
Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (ASU
2010-09).
ASU 2010-09
amends subsequent event disclosure requirements for Securities
Exchange Commission (SEC) filers. ASU
2010-09 no
longer requires that an SEC filer disclose the date through
which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued
and revised financial statements. SEC filers continue to be
required to evaluate subsequent events through the date the
financial statements are issued. The disclosure requirements
were effective February 24, 2010. The adoption of ASU
2010-09 did
not have a material impact on the Companys financial
position or results of operations.
6
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2010-06,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU
2010-06).
ASU 2010-06
requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing
disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set
forth in Codification Subtopic
820-10. ASU
2010-06
amends Codification Subtopic
820-10 to
now require (1) a reporting entity to disclose separately
the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1
and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the
reasons for the transfers; (2) in the reconciliation for
fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a
reporting entity should present separately information about
purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements; and (3) a
reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation
techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both
recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU
2010-06 is
effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about
purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward
of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.
Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those
fiscal years. The adoption of ASU
No. 2010-06
did not have a material impact on the Companys financial
position or results of operations.
In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU
2009-16,
Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) - Accounting for
Transfers of Financial Assets (ASU
2009-16)
and ASU
2009-17,
Consolidations (Topic 810) Improvements to
Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable
Interest Entities (ASU
2009-17).
ASU 2009-16
formally codifies SFAS 166, Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets, while ASU
2009-17
codifies SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R). ASU
2009-16
represents a revision to the provisions of former SFAS 140,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and will require more
information about transfers of financial assets, including
securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing
exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets.
It eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose
entity (QSPE), changes the requirements for
derecognizing financial assets and requires additional
disclosures. ASU
2009-17
represents a revision to former FASB Interpretation No. 46
(Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, and changes how a reporting entity determines when
an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not
controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be
consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is
required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other
things, the other entitys purpose and design and the
reporting entitys ability to direct the activities of the
other entity that most significantly impact the other
entitys economic performance. The updates require a number
of new disclosures. ASU
2009-16
enhances information reported to users of financial statements
by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial
assets and an entitys continuing involvement in
transferred financial assets. ASU
2009-17
requires a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures
about its involvement with variable interest entities and any
significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A
reporting entity will be required to disclose how its
involvement with a variable interest entity affects the
reporting entitys financial statements. The updates to the
Codification are effective at the start of a reporting
entitys first fiscal year beginning after
November 15, 2009, or January 1, 2010, for a calendar
year-end entity. ASU
2009-16 and
ASU 2009-17
were adopted by the Company as required on January 1, 2010.
The adoption of ASU
2009-16 and
ASU 2009-17
did not have a material impact on the Companys financial
position or results of operations. Although the Company holds a
retained interest in bankruptcy remote QSPEs established in
accordance with ASU
2009-16, the
financial position and results of such QSPEs are not
consolidated in the Companys financial statements. The
Company evaluated the accounting requirements of ASU
2009-17 and
determined that it would not be required to consolidate the
financial position and results of the QSPEs as the Company is
not the primary decision maker with respect to activities that
could significantly impact the economic performance of the
QSPEs, nor does the Company perform any service activity related
to the QSPEs.

Stock-Based
Compensation and Earnings Per Share
|
Stock-Based
Compensation
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date
based on the fair value of the award and is typically recognized
as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service
period, which is the vesting period.
7
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Stock-based compensation cost may be recognized over a shorter
requisite service period if an employee meets retirement
eligibility requirements. Additionally, the 15% discount at
which employees may purchase the Companys common stock
through payroll deductions is being recognized as compensation
expense. Upon exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted
stock, the Company will issue new common stock.

As of March 31, 2010, there was $3.3 million of
unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated
forfeitures, related to non-vested restricted stock and stock
option compensation arrangements which will be recognized over a
weighted average period of four years.
Market
Condition Grants
The Company grants to select executives and other key employees
non-vested restricted stock whose vesting is based upon the
achievement of certain market conditions which are defined as
the Companys total shareholder return as compared to the
total shareholder return of certain peer groups during a three
year performance period.
The Company currently uses a Monte Carlo simulation pricing
model to determine the fair value of its market condition
awards. The determination of the fair value of market
condition-based awards is affected by the stock price as well as
assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These
variables include expected stock price volatility over the
requisite performance term of the awards, the relative
performance of the Companys stock price and shareholder
returns to those companies in its peer groups and a risk-free
interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is recognized
regardless of the achievement of the market condition, provided
the requisite service period is met.

March 31, 2010 is presented below:

forfeitures, related to market condition non-vested restricted
shares which will be recognized over a weighted average period
of three years. At March 31, 2010, the Company has accrued
$1.5 million related to cash liability awards payable to
terminated employees who had been granted market condition
restricted shares.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Total stock-based compensation recognized in the consolidated
statements of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1.5 million and
$3.0 million, respectively.
Earnings
(Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net
income (loss) by the average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated
by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the period, including all
potentially dilutive shares issuable under outstanding stock
options and service-based non-vested restricted stock. Stock
options and non-vested restricted stock are not considered in
any diluted earnings per share calculations when the Company has
a loss from continuing operations. Non-vested restricted shares
subject to vesting based on the achievement of market conditions
are treated as contingently issuable shares and are considered
outstanding only upon the satisfaction of the market conditions.
The following table presents a reconciliation of average shares
outstanding:

Fair
value measurements
|
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 for its
financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820
among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for
each major asset and liability category measured at fair value
on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820
clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the
amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement
that should be determined based on assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a
basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes
a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs
used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active
markets;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active
markets, that are observable either directly or
indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no
market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its
own assumptions.

During 2008 and 2007, the Company sold 79,031 acres and 53,024
acres, respectively, of timberland in exchange for 15-year
installment notes receivable in the aggregate amount of $108.4
million and $74.9 million, respectively. The installment notes
are fully backed by irrevocable letters of credit issued by
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The Company contributed the installment
notes to bankruptcy remote QSPEs.
During 2008 and 2007, the QSPEs monetized $108.4 million and
$74.9 million, respectively, of installment notes by issuing
debt securities to third party investors equal to approximately
90% of the value of the installment notes. Approximately $96.1
million and $66.9 million in net proceeds were distributed to
the Company during 2008 and 2007, respectively. The debt
securities are payable solely out of the assets of the QSPEs and
proceeds from the letters of credit. The investors in the QSPEs
have no recourse against the Company for payment of the debt
securities or related interest expense.
The QSPEs financial position and results are not
consolidated in the Companys financial statements as the
Company is not the primary decision maker with respect to the
activities that could significantly impact the economic
performance of the QSPEs, nor does the Company perform any
service activity related to the QSPEs.
The Company has recorded a retained interest with respect to the
monetization of certain installment notes through the use of
QSPEs, which is recorded in other assets. The retained interest
is an estimate based on the present value of cash flows to be
received over the life of the installment notes. The
Companys continuing involvement with the QSPEs is in the
form of receipts of net interest payments, which are recorded as
interest income and approximated $0.2 million and
$0.1 million during the three months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, the Company will
receive the payment of the remaining principal on the
installment notes during 2022 and 2023.
In accordance with ASC 325, Investments
Other, Subtopic 40 Beneficial Interests in
Securitized Financial Assets, the Company recognizes
interest income over the life of the retained interest using the
effective yield method with discount rates ranging from 2%-7%.
This income adjustment is being recorded as an offset to loss on
monetization of notes over the life of the installment notes. In
addition, fair value may be adjusted at each reporting date
when, based on managements assessment of current
information and events, there is a favorable or adverse

change in estimated cash flows from cash flows previously
projected. The Company did not record any impairment adjustments
as a result of changes in previously projected cash flows during
the first quarter 2010 or 2009.

In the event of a failure and liquidation of the financial
institution involved in our installment sales, the Company could
be required to write-off the remaining retained interest
recorded on its balance sheet in connection with the installment
sale monetization transactions, which would have an adverse
effect on the Companys results of operations and balance
sheet.
On October 21, 2009, the Company entered into a strategic
alliance agreement with Southwest Airlines to facilitate the
commencement of low-fare air service in May 2010 to the new
Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The Company has
agreed to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs losses on
its service at the new airport during the first three years of
service by making specified break-even payments. The agreement
also provides that Southwests profits from the air service
during the term of the agreement will be shared with the Company
up to the maximum amount of our break-even payments.
The term of the agreement extends for a period of three years
after the commencement of Southwests air service at the
new airport. Although the agreement does not provide for maximum
payments, the agreement may be terminated by the Company if the
break-even payments to Southwest exceed $14 million in the
first year of air service or $12 million in the second
year. The Company may also terminate the agreement if Southwest
has not commenced air service to the new airport within
90 days of its opening. Southwest may terminate the
agreement if its actual annual revenues attributable to the air
service at the new airport are less than certain minimum annual
amounts established in the agreement.
The Company measured the associated standby guarantee liability
at fair value based upon a discounted cash flow analysis based
on managements best estimates of future cash flows to be
paid by the Company pursuant to the strategic alliance
agreement. These cash flows are estimated using numerous
estimates including future fuel costs, passenger load factors,
air fares, seasonality and the timing of the commencement of
service. The fair value of the liability could fluctuate up or
down significantly as a result of changes in assumptions related
to these estimates and could have a material impact on the
Companys operating results.
The Company carried a standby guarantee liability of
$0.8 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31,
2009 related to this strategic alliance agreement. The Company
reevaluates this estimate quarterly.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Homes and
homesites substantially completed and ready for sale are
measured at lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to
sell. The fair value of homes and homesites is determined based
upon final sales prices of inventory sold during the period
(level 2 inputs). For inventory held for sale, estimates of
selling prices based on current market data are utilized
(level 3 inputs). For projects under development, an
estimate of future cash flows on an undiscounted basis is
performed using estimated future expenditures necessary to
maintain and complete the existing project and using
managements best estimates about future sales prices and
holding periods (level 3 inputs). In the first quarter of
2010 and 2009, the Company recorded impairment charges in the
residential real estate segment of $0.1 million and
$0.2 million, respectively.

Discontinued
Operations

In December 2009, the Company sold Victoria Hills Golf Club as
part of the bulk sale of Victoria Park and sold its St. Johns
Golf and Country Club. The Company has classified the operating
results associated with these golf courses as discontinued
operations as these operations had identifiable cash flows and
operating results, and the Company has no continuing involvement
in their operations.
On February 27, 2009, the Company sold its remaining
inventory and equipment assets related to its Sunshine State
Cypress mill and mulch plant.
Discontinued operations presented on the consolidated statements

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company
renegotiated the terms of a builder note receivable, resulting
in an impairment charge of $1.3 million.
The Company announced on March 17, 2010 that it is
relocating its corporate headquarters from Jacksonville, Florida
to its VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre to be developed
adjacent to the new Northwest Florida Beaches International
Airport in Bay County, Florida. The Company will also be
consolidating existing offices from Tallahassee, Port St. Joe
and South Walton County into the new location. The relocation is
expected to be completed by the summer of 2011.
The Company expects to incur charges to earnings in connection
with the relocation related primarily to termination and
relocation benefits for employees, as well as certain ancillary
facility-related costs. Such charges are expected to be cash
expenditures. The Company recorded a charge of $1.5 million
during the first quarter of 2010. The total amount of
termination and relocation benefits will be a greater amount,
however, it is not quantifiable at this time as the employees
who are asked to relocate will be given a choice between
relocation and termination benefits.

restructuring and reorganization program by segment are as

The Company remeasures its plan assets and benefit obligation at
each December 31. No events occurred during the three
months ended March 31, 2010 which would require the Company
to remeasure its plan assets or benefit obligation.
The Company had approximately $1.4 million of total
unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, none of which, if recognized, would
materially affect the effective income tax rate. The Company
recognizes interest
and/or
penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
The Company had accrued interest of $0.2 million and
$0.3 million (net of tax benefit) at March 31, 2010
and December 31, 2009, respectively, related to uncertain
tax positions. There were no significant changes to unrecognized
tax benefits including interest and penalties during the first
quarter of 2010, and the Company does not expect any significant
changes to its unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve
months.
On March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act (the PPACA) was signed into law, and, on
March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the HCERA and, together
with PPACA, the Acts), which makes various
amendments to certain aspects of the PPACA, was signed into law.
The Acts effectively change the tax treatment of federal
subsidies paid to sponsors of retiree health benefit plans that
provide prescription drug benefits that are at least actuarially
equivalent to the corresponding benefits provided under Medicare
Part D.
The federal subsidy paid to employers was introduced as part of
the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization
Act of 2003 (the MPDIMA). The Company has been
receiving the federal subsidy since the 2006 tax year related to
certain retiree prescription drug plans that were determined to
be actuarially equivalent to the benefit provided under Medicare
Part D. Under the MPDIMA, the federal subsidy does not
reduce an employers income tax deduction for the costs of
providing such prescription drug plans nor is it subject to
income tax individually.
Under the Acts, beginning in 2013 an employers income tax
deduction for the costs of providing Medicare
Part D-equivalent
prescription drug benefits to retirees will be reduced by the
amount of the federal subsidy. Under U.S. GAAP, any impact
from a change in tax law must be recognized in earnings in the
period enacted regardless of the effective date. As a result,
the Company recognized a noncash charge of approximately
$0.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2010
to reduce deferred tax assets to reflect the change in the tax
treatment of the federal subsidy.
16
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The change in the tax treatment of the federal subsidy only
affects the application of tax law to the Companys
prescription drug plans that are actuarially equivalent to
Medicare Part D and is not expected to result in an
increase in the pre-tax cost of providing such plans to its
retirees and employees.
The current income tax receivable was $64.9 million at
March 31, 2010 and $62.4 million at December 31,
2009.
The Company conducts primarily all of its business in four
reportable operating segments: residential real estate,
commercial real estate, rural land sales and forestry. The
residential real estate segment develops and sells homesites and
now, to a lesser extent, homes, due to the Companys exit
from homebuilding. The commercial real estate segment sells
developed and undeveloped land. The rural land sales segment
sells parcels of land included in the Companys timberland
holdings. The forestry segment produces and sells pine pulpwood,
timber and other forest products.
The Company uses income (loss) from continuing operations before
equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates, income
taxes and noncontrolling interest for purposes of making
decisions about allocating resources to each segment and
assessing each segments performance, which the Company
believes represents current performance measures.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
described above in the summary of significant accounting
policies herein and in our
Form 10-K.
Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as
reported in the Companys consolidated statements of
operations. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The caption entitled Other consists of general and
administrative expenses, net of investment income.

The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with
respect to losses for third party liability and property damage.
At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company
was party to surety bonds of $18.5 million and
$28.1 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit
in the amount of $2.5 million which may potentially result
in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the
Company are not met.
The Company and its affiliates are involved in litigation on a
number of matters and are subject to various claims which arise
in the normal course of business, including claims resulting
from construction defects and contract disputes. When
appropriate, the Company establishes estimated accruals for
litigation matters which meet the requirements of
ASC 450 Contingencies.
The Company is subject to costs arising out of environmental
laws and regulations, which include obligations to remove or
limit the effects on the environment of the disposal or release
of certain wastes or substances at various sites, including
sites which have been previously sold. It is the Companys
policy to accrue and charge against earnings environmental
cleanup costs when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and an amount can be reasonably estimated. As
assessments and cleanups proceed, these accruals are reviewed
and adjusted, if necessary, as additional information becomes
available.
The Companys former paper mill site in Gulf County and
certain adjacent property are subject to various Consent
Agreements and Brownfield Site Rehabilitation Agreements with
the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The paper
mill site has been assessed and rehabilitated by Smurfit-Stone
Container Corporation in accordance with these agreements. The
Company is in the process of assessing and rehabilitating
certain adjacent properties. Management is unable to quantify
the rehabilitation costs at this time.
Other proceedings involving environmental matters are pending
against the Company. Aggregate environmental-related accruals
were $1.6 million at March 31, 2010 and
$1.7 million at December 31, 2009, respectively.
Although in the opinion of management none of our litigation
matters or governmental proceedings is expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated
financial position, results of operations or liquidity, it is
possible that the actual amounts of liabilities resulting from
such matters could be material.
On October 21, 2009, the Company entered into a strategic
alliance agreement with Southwest Airlines to facilitate the
commencement of low-fare air service in May 2010 to the new
Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The Company has
agreed to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs losses on
its service at the new airport during the first three years of
service. The agreement also provides that Southwests
profits from the air service during the term of the agreement
will be shared with the Company up to the maximum amount of its
break-even payments. The term of the agreement extends for a
period of three years after the commencement of Southwests
air service at the new airport. Although the agreement does not
provide for maximum payments, the agreement may be terminated by
the Company if the payments to Southwest exceed $14 million
in the first year of air service or $12 million in the
second year. The Company may also terminate the agreement if
Southwest has not commenced air service to the new airport
within 90 days of its opening. Southwest may terminate the
agreement if
18
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
its actual annual revenues attributable to the air service at
the new airport are less than certain minimum annual amounts
established in the agreement. The Company carries a standby
guarantee liability of $0.8 million at March 31, 2010
and December 31, 2009 related to this strategic alliance
agreement.
|
|
13.
|
Concentration
of Risks and Uncertainties
|
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a
concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents,
notes receivable and retained interests. The Company deposits
and invests excess cash with major financial institutions in the
United States. Balances may exceed the amount of insurance
provided on such deposits.
Some of the Companys notes receivable are from
homebuilders and other entities associated with the real estate
industry. As with many entities in the real estate industry,
revenues have contracted for these companies, and they may be
increasingly dependent on their lenders continued
willingness to provide funding to maintain ongoing liquidity.
The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful
notes receivable at each reporting date.
There are not any other entity specific facts which currently
cause the Company to believe that the remaining notes receivable
will be realized at amounts below their carrying values;
however, due to the collapse of real estate markets and
tightened credit conditions, the collectability of these
receivables represents a significant risk to the Company and
changes in the likelihood of collectability could adversely
impact the accompanying financial statements.
On October 21, 2009, the Company entered into a strategic
alliance agreement with Southwest Airlines to facilitate the
commencement of low-fare air service in May 2010 to the new
Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The Company has
agreed to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs losses on
its service at the new airport during the first three years of
service. See Note 3 for further discussion of this standby
guarantee.
The Companys real estate investments are concentrated in
the State of Florida. Uncertainty of the duration of the
prolonged real estate and economic slump could have an adverse
impact on the Companys real estate values.

Overview
We own a large inventory of land suitable for development in
Florida. The majority of our land is located in Northwest
Florida and has a very low cost basis. In order to optimize the
value of these core real estate assets, we seek to reposition
portions of our substantial timberland holdings for higher and
better uses. We seek to create value in our land by securing
entitlements for higher and better land-uses, facilitating
infrastructure improvements, developing community amenities,
undertaking strategic and expert land planning and development,
parceling our land holdings in creative ways, performing land
restoration and enhancement and promoting economic development.
We have four operating segments: residential real estate,
commercial real estate, rural land sales and forestry.
Our residential real estate segment generates revenues from:
|
|
|
|
|
the sale of developed homesites to retail customers and builders;
|
|
|
|
the sale of parcels of entitled, undeveloped land;
|
|
|
|
the sale of housing units built by us;
|
|
|
|
resort and club operations;
|
|
|
|
rental income; and
|
|
|
|
brokerage fees on certain transactions.
|
Our commercial real estate segment generates revenues from the
sale of developed and undeveloped land for retail, multi-family,
office, hotel and industrial uses. Our rural land sales segment
generates revenues from the sale of parcels of undeveloped land
and rural land with limited development and mitigation bank
credits. Our forestry segment generates revenues from the sale
of pulpwood, timber and forest products and conservation land
management services.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations
continued to be materially adversely affected during the first
quarter of 2010 by the real estate downturn and economic
recession in the United States. This challenging environment has
exerted negative pressure on the demand for all of our real
estate products and contributed to our net loss for the first
quarter. Although some analysts and commentators have expressed
that the real estate crisis may have reached a
bottom in 2009 and that the economy is showing early
signs of a recovery, we cannot predict with any certainty when
demand for our real estate products will improve.
The new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport is
scheduled to open May 23, 2010. The new airport is located
within our 75,000 - acre West Bay Sector Plan. We
believe that the new airport and service from Southwest Airlines
will significantly improve the accessibility to Northwest
Florida and will serve as a catalyst for regional growth and
increased demand for our real estate products.
We announced on March 17, 2010 that we are relocating our
corporate headquarters from Jacksonville, Florida to our
VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre to be developed adjacent to
the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in Bay
County, Florida. We will also be consolidating our existing
offices from Tallahassee, Port St. Joe and South Walton County
into the new location. The relocation is expected to be
completed by the summer of 2011.
In late April 2010, an oil drilling platform exploded and sank
in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana causing a
sizable oil spill. We are uncertain at this time of the future
impact of the oil spill, if any, on our properties or business,
but we will continue to monitor and take appropriate steps to
respond to the situation.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and
results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosures of contingent assets and
22
liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience,
available current market information and on various other
assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the
circumstances. Additionally we evaluate the results of these
estimates on an on-going basis. Managements estimates form
the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
The critical accounting policies that we believe reflect our
more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation
of our consolidated financial statements are set forth in
Item 7 of our annual report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2009. There have been no
significant changes in these policies during the first three
months of 2010.
Correction
of Prior Period Error
In the first quarter of 2010, we determined that approximately
$2.6 million ($1.6 million net of tax) of stock
compensation expense related to the acceleration of the service
period for retirement eligible employees should have been
recognized in periods prior to 2010. Accordingly, the
consolidated balance sheet for December 31, 2009 has been
adjusted to reduce deferred income taxes, net, by
$1.0 million and increase common stock by $2.6 million
to reflect the correction of this error, with a corresponding
$1.6 million reduction recorded to retained earnings. The
correction is similarly reflected as an adjustment to common
stock and retained earnings as of December 31, 2009 in the
consolidated statement of changes in equity. The correction of
this error also impacted the consolidated statements of
operations and cash flows for the three months ending
March 31, 2009. These corrections were not considered
material to prior period financial statements.

The decrease in real estate sales revenues and cost of real
estate sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010
compared to 2009 was primarily due to decreased sales in our
residential real estate and rural land sales segment.
Residential real estate sales continue to remain weak as a
result of oversupply and depressed prices within the Florida
real estate markets. In addition, our rural land sales decreased
during 2010 compared to 2009 as a result of our planned
reduction in large tract rural land sales. During 2010,
approximately $0.1 million, or 7%, of our first quarter
revenues were generated by rural land sales compared to
$4.2 million, or 21%, in 2009.
Resort and club revenues and cost of revenues remained constant
during 2010 and 2009. Our resort and club operations generally
operate at a loss during the first quarter of the year as a
result of lower seasonal volume.
Other operating expenses decreased by $3.2 million, or 29%,
due to lower general and administrative expenses as a result of
our restructuring efforts. For further detailed discussion of
revenues and expenses, see Segment Results below.
Corporate expense. Corporate expense,
representing corporate general and administrative expenses, was
$5.4 million and $8.3 million during the three months
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our overall
employee and administrative costs have decreased as a result of
reduced head count and cost savings initiatives.
Impairment Losses. We review our long-lived
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Homes and homesites substantially completed
and ready for sale are measured at the lower of carrying value
or fair value less costs to sell. For projects under
development, an estimate of future cash flows on an undiscounted
basis is performed using estimated future expenditures necessary
to maintain and complete the existing project and using
managements best estimates about future sales prices and
holding periods. During the first quarter 2010 and 2009 we
recorded impairment charges of $0.1 million and
$0.2 million, respectively in the residential real estate
segment. In addition, we recorded a $1.3 million write down
of a renegotiated builder note receivable in our residential
real estate segment during the first quarter of 2009.
Restructuring charge. We announced on
March 17, 2010 that we are relocating our corporate
headquarters from Jacksonville, Florida to our VentureCrossings
Enterprise Centre to be developed adjacent to the new Northwest
Florida Beaches International Airport in Bay County, Florida. We
will also be consolidating existing
24
offices from Tallahassee, Port St. Joe and South Walton County
into the new location. The relocation is expected to be
completed by the summer of 2011.
We expect to incur charges to earnings in connection with the
relocation related primarily to termination and relocation
benefits for employees, as well as certain ancillary
facility-related costs. Such charges are expected to be cash
expenditures. We recorded a charge of $1.5 million during
the first quarter of 2010. The total amount of termination and
relocation benefits will be a greater amount, however, it is not
quantifiable at this time as the employees who are asked to
relocate will be given a choice between relocation and
termination benefits.
We recorded no restructuring charge in the three months ended
March 31, 2009. See Note 7 to our consolidated
financial statements for further information regarding our
restructuring charges.
Other income (expense). Other income (expense)
consists of investment income, interest expense, gains on sales
and dispositions of assets, litigation expense, fair value
adjustment of our retained interest in monetized installment
note receivables and other income. Other income (expense) was
$(0.5) million and $1.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The
$1.7 million decrease was primarily a result of a
$1.3 million charge related to a litigation settlement and
an increase in interest expense of $1.0 million associated
with our community development district debt obligations which
was not capitalized during 2010 due to reduced spending levels.
Equity in (loss) income of unconsolidated
affiliates. We have investments in affiliates
that are accounted for by the equity method of accounting.
Equity in (loss) income of unconsolidated affiliates was
$(0.4) million and less than $0.1 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Equity in (loss)
income primarily related to joint ventures within our
residential real estate segment which are now substantially sold
out.
Income tax (benefit) expense. Income tax
(benefit) expense, including income tax on discontinued
operations, totaled $(6.6) million and $(7.2) million
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. Our effective tax rate was 37% and 38% for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Discontinued Operations. (Loss) income from
discontinued operations, net of tax, totaled $(0.2) million
in the three months ended March 31, 2009. See our
Residential and Forestry sections below for further detail on
discontinued operations.
Segment
Results
Residential
Real Estate
Our residential real estate segment typically plans and develops
mixed-use resort, primary and seasonal residential communities
of various sizes, primarily on our existing land. We own large
tracts of land in Northwest Florida, including significant Gulf
of Mexico beach frontage and waterfront properties, and land
near Jacksonville and Tallahassee.
Our residential sales remain weak due to the real estate
downturn and economic recession in Florida. Inventories of
resale homes and homesites remain high in our markets and prices
remain depressed, and, predicting when real estate markets will
return to health remains difficult. Although we have noticed
some renewed interest in residential real estate activity, we do
not expect any significant favorable changes in market
conditions during 2010.
Homes and homesites substantially completed and ready for sale
are measured at lower of carrying value or fair value less costs
to sell. For projects under development, an estimate of future
cash flows on an undiscounted basis is performed. The overall
decrease in demand and market prices for residential real estate
indicated that certain carrying amounts within our residential
real estate segment may not be recoverable. In the first quarter
of 2010 and 2009, we recorded impairment charges of
$0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. In
addition, we recorded a $1.3 million impairment charge in
the first quarter of 2009 related to a renegotiated builder note
receivable.
The table below sets forth the results of continuing operations
of our residential real estate segment for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

The decreases in the amounts of real estate sales were due
primarily to decreases in primary home closings and homesite
closings in various communities as a result of adverse market
conditions. The average sales price in the first quarter of 2010
was also less than the average sales price in the first quarter
of 2009.

Our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities included
WaterColor, WaterSound Beach, WaterSound, WaterSound West Beach,
WindMark Beach, RiverCamps on Crooked Creek, SummerCamp Beach
and Wild Heron, while primary communities included Hawks Landing
and Southwood. Our Northeast Florida communities included
RiverTown and St. Johns Golf and Country Club, and our Central
Florida communities included Artisan Park and Victoria Park, all
of which are primary.
Resort and club revenues included revenues from the WaterColor
Inn, WaterColor and WaterSound vacation rental programs and
other resort, golf, club and marina operations. Resort and club
revenues in total remained constant for both periods and were
$4.6 million in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009. Cost of
resort and club revenues were $6.5 million in the first
quarter of 2010 and 2009. Our resort and club operations
generally operate at a loss during the first quarter of the year
as a result of lower seasonal volume.
Other operating expenses included salaries and benefits,
marketing, project administration, support personnel and other
administrative expenses. Other operating expenses were
$5.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to
$8.7 million in the first quarter of 2009. The decrease of
$3.4 million in operating expenses was primarily due to
reductions in employee costs along with reductions in marketing
and homeowners association funding costs, certain warranty and
other project costs and real estate taxes, which savings were
created by the sale of certain projects during 2009.
We recorded restructuring charges in our residential real estate
segment of $0.7 million during the first quarter of 2010 in
connection with our corporate headquarters relocation.
Other expense was $(0.8) million during the first quarter
of 2010 which primarily consisted of interest expense associated
with our community development district obligations which was
not capitalized in 2010 due to reduced spending levels.

Commercial
Real Estate
Our commercial real estate segment plans, develops and entitles
our land holdings for a broad range of retail, office, hotel,
industrial and multi-family uses. We sell and develop commercial
land and provide development opportunities for national and
regional retailers as well as strategic partners in Northwest
Florida. We also offer land for commercial and light industrial
uses within large and small-scale commerce parks, as well as for
a wide range of multi-family rental projects. Consistent with
residential real estate, the markets for commercial real estate,
particularly retail, remain weak.
The table below sets forth the results of the continuing
operations of our commercial real estate segment for the three
months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

Other revenue primarily relates to lease income associated with
a long term land lease with the Port Authority of Port St. Joe.
Much of our commercial real estate activity is focused on the
opportunities presented by the new Northwest Florida Beaches
International Airport, scheduled to open in May 2010. We believe
these commercial opportunities will be significantly enhanced by
Southwest Airlines planned service to the new airport, as
described above. We continue pre-development activity at our
VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre, an approximately
1,000 acre project adjacent to the airport site. The land
is being planned for office, retail, hotel and industrial users.
To support our commercial efforts, we have recently entered into
an agreement with CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc., the worlds
largest commercial real estate services firm, to master plan and
market for joint venture, sale or lease these 1,000 acres.
CB Richard Ellis will solicit global office, retail and
industrial users for this prime development location. We expect,
over time, that the new international airport will expand our
customer base as it connects Northwest Florida with the global
economy and as the area is repositioned from a regional to a
national destination.
There was one commercial land sale in Bay county during the
three months ended March 31, 2010 of 2.8 acres at an
average price of $110,000 per acre and none during the three
months ended March 31, 2009. Sales and cost of sales
included previously deferred revenue and gain on sales, based on
percentage-of-completion
accounting, of $0.4 million and $0.1 million,
respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Rural
Land Sales
Our rural land sales segment markets and sells tracts of land of
varying sizes for rural recreational, conservation and
timberland uses. The land sales segment at times prepares land
for sale for these uses through harvesting, thinning and other
silviculture practices, and in some cases, limited
infrastructure development. Like residential and commercial
land, prices for rural land have also declined as a result of
the current difficult market conditions.

During 2009, we made a strategic decision to sell fewer acres of
rural land as we generated cash from other sources. We intend to
employ the same strategy in 2010. We may, however, rely on rural
land sales as a significant source of revenues and cash in the
future.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we closed one
significant sale of 930 acres in Wakulla county for
$3.9 million, or $4,234 per acre. Average sales prices per
acre vary according to the characteristics of each particular
piece of land being sold and its highest and best use. As a
result, average prices will vary from one period to another.
During the fourth quarter 2009, we also began selling credits to
developers, utility companies and other users from our wetland
mitigation banks. Included in real estate sales was
$0.6 million related to the sale of nine mitigation bank
credits at an average sales price of $65,201 per credit during
the first quarter of 2010.
Forestry
Our forestry segment focuses on the management and harvesting of
our extensive timber holdings. We grow, harvest and sell timber
and wood fiber and provide land management services for
conservation properties. On February 27, 2009, we completed
the sale of the inventory and equipment assets of Sunshine State
Cypress. The results of operations for Sunshine State Cypress
during the three months ended March 31, 2009 are set forth
below as discontinued operations.

We have a wood fiber supply agreement with Smurfit-Stone
Container Corporation (Smurfit-Stone) which expires
on June 30, 2012. Although Smurfit-Stone filed for
bankruptcy protection in 2008, the supply agreement remains in
effect at this time, and Smurfit-Stone is current in its
payments. Sales under this agreement were $3.7 million
(175,000 tons) in 2010 and $3.3 million (160,000 tons) in
2009.
Sales to customers other than Smurfit-Stone totaled
$2.3 million (110,000 tons) in 2010 and $2.3 million
(118,000 tons) in 2009. The increase in revenue per ton from
2009 to 2010 was primarily due to an increase in market prices
related to our wood products as a result of increased demand.
Our 2009 sales revenues also included $0.6 million related
to land management services performed in connection with certain
conservation properties. We plan to seek other customers for our
conservation land management services.
We are continuing to explore alternative sources of revenue from
our extensive timberland and rural land holdings. For example,
in 2010, we began participating in a government sponsored
biomass crop assistance program that will provide us additional
revenues related to wood products subsequently used in energy
production. Our first quarter 2010 sales included
$0.4 million related to alternative use sales.
Other income which consists primarily of income from hunting
leases was $0.5 million and $0.4 million during 2010
and 2009, respectively.
On February 27, 2009, we sold our remaining inventory and
equipment assets related to our Sunshine State Cypress mill and
mulch plant for $1.6 million. We received $1.3 million
in cash and a note receivable of $0.3 million. The sale
agreement also included a long term lease of a building facility.
Discontinued operations related to the sale of Sunshine State
Cypress for the three months ended March 31 are as follows:

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$152.6 million, compared to $163.8 million as of
December 31, 2009.
We invest our excess cash primarily in government-only money
market mutual funds, short term U.S. treasury investments
and overnight deposits, all of which are highly liquid, with the
intent to make such funds readily available for operating
expenses and strategic long-term investment purposes.
We believe that our current cash position, our undrawn
$125 million revolving credit facility and the cash we
anticipate to generate from operating activities and tax refunds
will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our working
capital needs and capital expenditures and provides us with the
financial flexibility to withstand the current market downturn.
As more fully described in Note 8 of our consolidated
financial statements, the credit facility contains covenants
relating to leverage, unencumbered asset value, net worth,
liquidity and additional debt. The credit facility does not
contain a fixed charge coverage covenant. The credit facility
also contains various restrictive covenants pertaining to
acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures, dividends,
share repurchases, asset dispositions and liens. The recent
amendment also limits the amount of our investments not
otherwise permitted by the credit facility to $175 million
and the amount of our additional debt not otherwise permitted by
the credit facility to $175 million. We were in compliance
with our debt covenants at March 31, 2010. No funds have
been drawn on the credit facility as of March 31, 2010.
We have entered into a strategic alliance agreement with
Southwest Airlines to facilitate low-fare air service to the new
Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. We have agreed
to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs losses on its
service at the new airport during the first three years of
service by making break-even payments. The agreement also
provides that Southwests profits from the air service
during the term of the agreement will be shared with us up to
the maximum amount of our break-even payments. These cash
payments and reimbursements could have a significant effect on
our cash flows and results of operations starting in the second
half of 2010, depending on the results of Southwests
operations of the air service.
Cash
Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operations was $14.5 million and
$3.8 million in the first three months of 2010 and 2009,
respectively. During such periods, expenditures relating to our
residential real estate segment were $1.1 million and
$2.9 million, respectively. Additional capital expenditures
were $0.3 million and less than $0.1 million,
respectively, and primarily related to commercial real estate
development.
Our current income tax receivable was $64.9 million at
March 31, 2010 and $62.4 million at December 31,
2009. We anticipate we will receive the majority of our 2009 tax
receivable during 2010 which will provide us with additional
liquidity.
Cash
Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by (used) in investing activities was
$0.3 million and $(1.6) million in the first three
months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. We do not anticipate
making any significant investments at this time.
Cash
Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by (used) in financing activities was
$3.0 million and $(0.4) million in the first three
months of 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Community Development District (CDD) bonds financed
the construction of infrastructure improvements at several of
our projects. The principal and interest payments on the bonds
are paid by assessments on, or from sales proceeds of, the
properties benefited by the improvements financed by the bonds.
We have recorded a liability for future assessments which are
fixed or determinable and will be levied against our properties.
Accordingly, we have recorded debt of $12.5 million and
$12.4 million related to CDD bonds as of March 31,
2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Controls
and Procedures
|
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered
by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of
the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in bringing to their
attention on a timely basis material information relating to the
Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be
included in the Companys periodic filings under the
Exchange Act.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls. During the quarter ended
March 31, 2010, there were no changes in our internal
controls that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal controls over financial
reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
|
|
Item 1.
|
Legal
Proceedings
|
We are involved in routine litigation on a number of matters and
are subject to claims which arise in the normal course of
business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is
expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
The following disclosure supplements the risk factor related to
offshore drilling described in our
Form 10-K:
In late April 2010, an oil drilling platform exploded and sank
in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana. A sizable oil
spill has now developed in the Gulf of Mexico and additional oil
continues to leak daily from the well. Containment efforts are
underway, but the oil spill may impact the coast of Northwest
Florida. The oil spill could have a direct negative impact on
our beachfront and coastal properties and could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations
and stock price.

Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
|
Issuer
Purchases of Equity Securities
Our Board of Directors has authorized a total of
$950.0 million for the repurchase of our outstanding common
stock from shareholders from time to time (the Stock
Repurchase Program), of which $103.8 million remained
available at March 31, 2010. There is no expiration date
for the Stock Repurchase Program, however, we have no present
intention to repurchase any shares under the Stock Repurchase
Program. In addition, our $125 million revolving credit
facility requires that we not repurchase stock in amounts in
excess of any cumulative net income that we have earned since
January 1, 2007.
