THE ST.
JOE COMPANY
(Unaudited)
1. | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations 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 interim
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Companys
latest Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position
as of June 30, 2007 and the results of operations for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30,
2007 and 2006. The results of operations for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2007 and cash flows for the
six month period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year. The December 31, 2006 balance sheet amounts have been
derived from our December 31, 2006 audited financial
statements.
During 2006, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Pension
and Other Postretirement Plans An Amendment of
SFAS Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R
(SFAS 158). The adoption of SFAS 158
at December 31, 2006 resulted in the Company recording a
$(1.0) million transition adjustment to comprehensive
income in its Consolidated Statements of Changes in
Stockholders Equity. The transition adjustment was
presented as a reduction to comprehensive income which totaled
$50.0 million. The Company will revise and remove the
transition adjustment from comprehensive income on the
Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders Equity
for 2006 in the Companys
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2007.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Stock-Based
Compensation
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company adopted the
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 revised 2004, Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R), which replaced Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), and
supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees (APB 25). Under the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, 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. The Company elected the
modified-prospective method of adoption, under which prior
periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The valuation
provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new grants and to grants
that were outstanding as of the effective date and are
subsequently modified. Estimated compensation for the unvested
portion of grants that were outstanding as of the effective date
is being recognized over the remaining service period using the
compensation cost estimated for the SFAS 123 pro forma
disclosures. 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 granting of non-vested stock, the
Company will issue new common stock.
Stock
Options and Non-vested Restricted Stock
The Company has four stock incentive plans (the 1997 Stock
Incentive Plan, the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, the 1999 Stock
Incentive Plan and the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan), whereby
awards may be granted to certain employees and non-employee
directors of the Company in the form of restricted shares of
Company common stock or options to purchase Company common
stock. Awards are discretionary and are determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards vest
based upon service conditions. Certain option and share awards
provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control
(as defined in the plan). The total amount of restricted shares
and options originally available for grant under each of the
Companys four plans was 8.5 million shares,
6
Table of Contents
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
1.4 million shares, 2.0 million shares, and
3.0 million shares, respectively. Non-vested restricted
shares generally vest over two-year, three-year, or four-year
periods, beginning on the date of each grant, but are considered
outstanding under the treasury stock method at the time of grant
for purposes of determining earnings per share since the holders
are entitled to dividends and voting rights. Stock option awards
are granted with an exercise price equal to market price of the
Companys stock at the date of grant. The options are
exercisable in equal installments on the first through fourth or
fifth anniversaries, as applicable, of the date of grant and
generally expire 7-10 years after the date of grant.
The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option pricing
model to determine the fair value of stock options. The
determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on
the date of grant using an option-pricing model 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 term of the awards, actual and projected
employee stock option exercise behaviors (term of option),
risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.
The Company estimates the expected term of options granted by
incorporating the contractual term of the options and analyzing
employees actual and expected exercise behaviors. The Company
estimates the volatility of its common stock by using historical
volatility in market price over a period consistent with the
expected term, and other factors. The Company bases the
risk-free interest rate that it uses in the option valuation
model on U.S. Treasuries with remaining terms similar to
the expected term on the options. The Company anticipates paying
cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an
estimated dividend yield in the option valuation model.
Presented below are the per share weighted-average fair value of
stock options granted during the six months ended June 30,
2007, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, along with
the assumptions used.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options
exercisable as of June 30, 2007 was $8.0 million and
$9.0 million, respectively. In computing compensation
expense from share based payments as of June 30, 2007, the
Company has estimated that of the 242,269 unvested options
outstanding, 191,393 options are expected to vest. The aggregate
intrinsic value of such options expected to vest was
$0.5 million at June 30, 2007. The intrinsic value is
calculated as the difference between the market value as of
June 30, 2007 and the grant date fair value. The closing
price as of June 30, 2007 was $46.34 per share as reported
by the New York Stock Exchange.
Cash received for strike prices from options exercised under
stock-based payment arrangements for the six month periods ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $3.5 million and
$1.7 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized
for the tax deductions from options exercised under stock-based
arrangements totaled $1.1 million and $0.7 million for
the six month period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.

month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and
$0.9 million and $2.0 million for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recognized
the estimated compensation cost of non-vested restricted stock
over the vesting term. The estimated compensation cost is based
on the fair value of the Companys common stock on the date
of grant. The Company will continue to recognize the
compensation cost over the requisite service period.
As of June 30, 2007, there was $15.6 million of
unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated
forfeitures, related to non-vested stock-based compensation
arrangements. This cost includes $3.3 million related to
stock option grants and $12.3 million of non-vested
restricted stock which will be recognized over a weighted
average period of four years.
Employee
Stock Purchase Plan
In November 1999, the Company implemented an employee stock
purchase plan whereby all employees may purchase the
Companys common stock through monthly payroll deductions
at a 15% discount from the fair market value of its common stock
at each month end, with an annual limit of $25,000 in purchases
per employee.
Earnings
Per Share
Earnings per share (EPS) is based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS assumes weighted average options have been exercised
to purchase 213,367 and 321,247 shares of common stock in
the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, and that 311,266 and 622,281 shares of
non-vested restricted stock were included as of June 30,
2007 and 2006, respectively, using the treasury stock method.
Diluted EPS assumes weighted average options have been exercised
to purchase 219,938 and 331,491 shares of common stock in
the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively,
and that 326,534 and 755,006 shares of non-vested
restricted stock were included as of June 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively, using the treasury stock method.
Through June 30, 2007, the Board of Directors had
authorized a total of $950.0 million for the repurchase
from time to time of outstanding common stock from shareholders
(the Stock Repurchase Program). A total of
approximately $846.2 million had been expended in the Stock
Repurchase Program from its inception through June 30,
2007. There is no expiration date on the Stock Repurchase
Program.
From the inception of the Stock Repurchase Program to
June 30, 2007, the Company repurchased from shareholders
27,945,611 shares and executives surrendered a total of
2,257,738 shares as payment for strike prices and taxes due
on exercised stock options and vested restricted stock, for a
total of 30,203,349 acquired shares. During the six month period
ended June 30, 2007, the Company did not repurchase shares
from shareholders. During the six month period ended
June 30, 2006, the Company repurchased 900,100 shares
from shareholders. During the six month periods

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented
all tax benefits for deductions resulting from the exercise of
stock options as operating cash flows on its consolidated
statement of cash flows. SFAS 123R requires the benefits of
tax deductions in excess of tax benefits related to recognized
compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow,
rather than as an operating cash flow. This requirement reduces
net operating cash flows and increases net financing cash flows
in periods after adoption. Total cash flow remains unchanged
from what would have been reported under prior accounting rules.
Cash flows related to assets ultimately planned to be sold,
including residential real estate development and related
amenities, sales of rural land by the rural land sales segment,
the Companys timberland operations and land developed by
the commercial real estate segment are included in operating
activities on the statement of cash flows. The Companys
buildings developed for commercial rental purposes and assets
purchased with tax-deferred proceeds are intended to be held for
investment purposes and related cash flows from acquisitions and
dispositions of those assets are included in investing
activities on the statements of cash flows. Cash flows from
investing activities also include related cash flows from assets
not held for sale. Distributions of income from unconsolidated
affiliates are included in cash flows from operating activities;
distributions of capital from unconsolidated affiliates are
included in cash flows from investing activities.

Dispositions
of Assets
On April 30, 2007, the Company entered into a Purchase and
Sale Agreement for the sale of the Companys office
building portfolio, consisting of 17 buildings. On June 20,
2007, the Company closed on the sale of 15 of the 17 properties
in the office building portfolio for a cash price of
$277.5 million. In the aggregate, the transaction resulted
in a pre-tax gain of $48.6 million, of which the Company
realized $45.3 million, net of a deferred gain of
$3.3 million on a sale leaseback arrangement with three of
the properties. Income from and the gain associated with these
three properties has been included in continuing operations. The
income/loss from and gain on the remaining 12 buildings of the
office building portfolio are reflected in discontinued

$4.4 million.
On May 3, 2007, the Company sold its mid-Atlantic
homebuilding operations, primarily operating under the name
Saussy Burbank, to an investor group based in Charlotte, North
Carolina. The sales price was $76.3 million, consisting of
$36.0 million in cash and approximately $40.3 million
in seller financing, the majority of which is secured by home
inventory and is payable over eighteen months. Included in 2007
pre-tax income is a $2.2 million impairment charge to
approximate fair value, less costs to sell, of the sale of
Saussy Burbank.

Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and
Equity
In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity
(SFAS 150). SFAS 150 requires
companies having consolidated entities with specified
termination dates to treat minority owners interests in
such entities as liabilities in an amount based on the fair
value of the entities. The Company has one consolidated entity
with a specified termination date: Artisan Park, L.L.C.
(Artisan Park). At June 30, 2007, the carrying
amount of the minority interest in Artisan Park was
$7.4 million, which approximated fair market value. The
Company has no other material financial instruments that are
affected by SFAS 150.

6. | Income Taxes |
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the
U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company
adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48),
on January 1, 2007.
The Company had approximately $128.3 million of total
unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007. Of this
total, approximately $41.5 million represents the amount of
unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the
effective income tax rate. In addition, the Company has accrued
approximately $11.3 million (net of tax benefit) in
interest at January 1, 2007. There were no penalties
required to be accrued at January 1, 2007. The Company
recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax
matters in income tax expense.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently examined the federal
income tax returns of the Company for the years 2000 through
2004. At the end of March 2007, the Company effectively settled
its contested tax positions with the IRS. This settlement will
result in an additional amount owed for 2000 through 2004 tax
years of approximately $83.2 million, for which the Company
had previously reserved under SFAS 109 and SFAS 5.
This amount includes estimated interest of approximately
$16.7 million (before tax benefit). This settlement with
the IRS resulted in an income tax benefit during the six months
ended June 30, 2007, of approximately $3.1 million to
adjust amounts previously accrued to the agreed upon amounts.
Since the information about the settlement with the IRS was not
available at the implementation date of FIN 48 or at the
time of filing of the Companys
Form 10-K
for 2006, the effect has been recognized in net income for the
six month period ended June 30, 2007 and not reflected in a
cumulative effect adjustment upon the adoption of FIN 48.
Tax years 2005 and 2006 remain subject to examination. The
Company does not currently anticipate that the total amount of
unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or
decrease within the next twelve months for any additional items.
7. | Segment Information |
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 home sites
and, to a now lesser extent due to the Companys exit from
homebuilding, homes and manages residential communities. The
commercial real estate segment sells developed and undeveloped
land. The rural land sales segment sells parcels of land
included in the Companys holdings of timberlands. The
forestry segment produces and sells pine pulpwood. timber and
other forest products.
The Company uses income from continuing operations before equity
in income of unconsolidated affiliates, income taxes and
minority interest for purposes of making decisions about
allocating resources to each segment and assessing each
segments performance, which it 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 income statements.
All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The segment
caption entitled Other consists of general and
administrative expenses, net of investment income.
The Companys reportable segments are strategic business
units that offer different products and services. Decisions
about allocations of resources are determined by management
based on these strategic business units, though effective
August 18, 2006, implementation of strategy and decisions
is deployed through geographic-based managers.

8. | Contingencies |
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, none of which, in the opinion
of management, is expected to have a material adverse effect on
the Companys consolidated financial position, results of
operations or liquidity. The Company has established estimated
accruals for its various litigation matters which meet the
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. However, it is
possible that the actual amounts of liabilities resulting from
such matters could exceed such accruals by several million
dollars.
The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with
respect to losses for third party liability, workers
compensation, property damage, group health insurance provided
to employees and other types of insurance.
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company
was party to surety bonds of $47.4 million and
$64.3 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit
in the amounts of $21.5 million and $25.0 million,
respectively, which may potentially result in liability to the
Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company
was not liable as guarantor on any credit obligations that
relate to unconsolidated affiliates or others in accordance with
FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.
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.
Pursuant to the terms of various agreements by which the Company
disposed of its sugar assets in 1999, the Company is obligated
to complete certain defined environmental remediation.
Approximately $6.7 million was placed in escrow pending the
completion of the remediation. The Company separately funded the
costs of remediation, which was substantially completed in 2003.
Completion of remediation on one of the subject parcels occurred
during the third quarter of 2006, resulting in the release of
approximately $2.9 million of the escrowed funds to the
Company on August 1, 2006. We expect the remaining balance
held in escrow to be released to the Company in the fourth
quarter of 2007. The release of escrow funds will not have any
effect on our earnings.
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
17
Table of Contents
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Environmental Protection. The paper mill site has been assessed
and has been rehabilitated by Smurfit-Stone Container
Corporation in accordance with these agreements. The Company is
in the process of rehabilitating the adjacent property in
accordance with these agreements. Management does not believe
the liability for any remaining required rehabilitation on these
properties will be material.
Other proceedings involving environmental matters are pending
against the Company. It is not possible to quantify future
environmental costs because many issues relate to actions by
third parties or changes in environmental regulation. However,
management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently
known matters will not have a material effect on the
Companys consolidated financial position, results of
operations or liquidity. Aggregate environmental-related
accruals were $3.4 million as of June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006.
9. | Subsequent Event |
On April 30, 2007, the Company entered into a Purchase and
Sale Agreement for the sale of the Companys office
building portfolio, consisting of 17 buildings. On June 20,
2007, the Company closed on the sale of 15 of the 17 properties
in the office building portfolio for a cash price of
$277.5 million as previously described. The sale of one of
the remaining two office buildings closed on August 7, 2007
for $56.0 million. The sale of the final office building is
expected to close in the third quarter of 2007 for
$44.0 million.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Overview
The St. Joe Company is one of the largest real estate
development companies in Florida. We believe we have one of the
largest inventories of private 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
our substantial timberland holdings for higher and better uses.
We increase the value of our raw land assets through the
entitlement, development and subsequent sale of residential and
commercial parcels, home sites and housing units, or through the
direct sale of unimproved land.
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 home sites to retail customers and builders; | |
| the sale of parcels of entitled, undeveloped land; | |
| the sale of housing units built by us; | |
| rental income; | |
| resort and club operations; | |
| investments in limited partnerships and joint ventures; | |
| brokerage, title issuance and mortgage origination fees on certain transactions within our residential real estate developments; and | |
| management fees. |
Our commercial real estate segment generates revenues from the
sale of developed and undeveloped land for retail, multi-family,
office and industrial uses.
Our rural land sales segment generates revenues from:
| the sale of parcels of undeveloped land; and | |
| the sale of rural land with limited development. |
Our forestry segment generates revenues from:
| the sale of pulpwood and timber; and | |
| the sale of forest products. |
Our ability to generate revenues, cash flows and profitability
is directly related to the real estate market, primarily in
Florida, and the economy in general. Economic, political and
weather-related conditions could have adverse effects on
consumer buying behavior, construction costs, availability of
labor and materials, the cost and availability of insurance, the
availability of and changes in prices of fuel and energy, and
other factors affecting us and the real estate industry in
general and coastal real estate in particular. Additionally,
increases in interest rates could reduce the demand for home
sites we develop, particularly primary home sites, and
commercial properties we develop or sell.
During the third quarter 2006, we announced that we are exiting
the Florida homebuilding business to focus on master-planning,
entitlements and maximizing the value of our landholdings
through place making. Under our Florida homebuilding exit plan,
our internal homebuilding operations will wind down by mid-2008.
We are continuing to develop our relationships with national,
regional and local homebuilders. We have executed purchase and
option contracts with several national and regional homebuilders
for the purchase of developed lots in various communities. These
transactions involve land positions in pre-development phases of
our communities as well as phases currently under development.
These transactions provide opportunities for us to accelerate
value realization, while at the same time decreasing capital
intensity and increasing efficiency in how we
19
Table of Contents
deliver primary housing to the market. We expect national and
regional homebuilders to be important business partners going
forward.
Forward-Looking

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 liabilities. We base these
estimates on historical experience 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
21
Table of Contents
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, 2006. There have been no
significant changes in these policies during the first six
months of 2007, except for changes related to the accounting for
income taxes, as described below.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a
single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a
framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional
disclosures about fair-value measurements. SFAS 157 applies
only to fair-value measurements that are already required or
permitted by other accounting standards and is expected to
increase the consistency of those measurements. SFAS 157 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on
our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the SEC Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) issued EITF Issue
No. 06-8,
Applicability of the Assessment of a Buyers Continuing
Investment under FAS No. 66 for the Sale of
Condominiums
(EITF 06-8).
EITF 06-8 states
that in assessing the collectibility of the sales price pursuant
to paragraph 37(d) of SFAS 66, an entity should
evaluate the adequacy of the buyers initial and continuing
investment to conclude that the sales price is collectible. If
an entity is unable to meet the criteria of paragraph 37,
including an assessment of collectibility using the initial and
continuing investment tests described in
paragraphs 8-12
of SFAS 66, then the entity should apply the deposit method
as described in
paragraphs 65-67
of FAS 66.
EITF 06-8
is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008.
We have not yet assessed the impact of
EITF 06-8
on our consolidated financial statements, but we believe that we
will be required, in most cases, to collect additional deposits
from buyers in order to recognize revenue under the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting. If we are unable
to meet the requirements of
EITF 06-8,
we would be required to recognize revenue using the deposit
method, which would delay revenue recognition until consummation
of the sale.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
(SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities
to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain
other items at fair value. The fair value option established by
this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure
eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A
business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on
items for which the fair value option has been elected in
earnings (or another performance indicator if the business
entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting
date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the
impact of SFAS 159 on our consolidated financial statements.
We adopted FIN 48 as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal
year. Additionally, in May 2007, the FASB published FASB Staff
Position
No. FIN 48-1,
Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48
(FSP
FIN 48-1),
amending FIN 48 and clarifying how an enterprise should
determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the
purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. As
of our adoption date of FIN 48, our accounting is
consistent with the guidance in FSP
FIN 48-1.
In June 2007, the EITF reached a consensus regarding EITF
Issue
No. 06-11
Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on
Share Based Payment Awards
(EITF 06-11).
EITF 06-11 states
that a realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend
equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and are paid
to employees for equity classified non-vested equity shares,
non-vested equity share units, and outstanding equity share
options should be recognized as an increase in additional
paid-in capital. The amount recognized in additional paid-in
capital for the realized income tax benefit from dividends on
those awards should be included in the pool of excess tax
benefits available to absorb potential future tax deficiencies
on share-based payment awards.
EITF 06-11
is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008.
We are currently evaluating the impact of
EITF 06-11
on our consolidated financial statements.

Results
of Operations
Net income increased $6.3 million to $25.3 million, or
$.34 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007, compared
to $19.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the
second quarter of 2006. We had a loss from continuing
operations, net of taxes, for the second quarter of 2007 of
($0.4) million, or less than ($0.01) per share, which was
offset by after tax income from discontinued operations of
$25.7 million, or $0.34 per share, primarily related to the
sale of our office building portfolio. This compares to income
from continuing operations, net of taxes, for the second quarter
of 2006 of $14.7 million, or $0.20 per share. Net income
for the first half of 2007 was $45.0 million, or $0.60 per
share, compared to $22.7 million, or $0.30 per share, for
the first half of 2006. Results for the three month and six
month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 reported in
discontinued operations include the operating results of
14 buildings in our commercial building portfolio, the
operations of our North Carolina based residential homebuilding
business, Saussy Burbank, and the operations of four commercial
buildings sold in 2006.
In both our Earnings Release issued on July 31, 2007 and in
the accompanying consolidated statements of income, we reported
net income of $0.34 and $0.61 per fully diluted share for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2007,
respectively. After further analysis, we have determined that we
are required to reflect the income from and gains on three of
the 15 buildings of our office building portfolio sold
during the three months ended June 30, 2007 as
continuing operations rather than discontinued
operations, due to the significance of expected cash
outflows in the form of rent payments that we will continue to
recognize. As a result, the results of continuing and
discontinued operations reflected in the accompanying
consolidated statements of income differ from those reported in
the July 31 Earnings Release.
The income from and gains on those three properties for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 which are
reflected in income from continuing operations in the
accompanying consolidated statements of income are
$7.9 million and $7.6 million, respectively. The loss
from those three properties for the three month and six month
periods ended June 30, 2006 was ($0.2) million and
($0.6) million, respectively. In the July 31, 2007
Earnings Release, the above amounts were reflected, net of tax,
in discontinued operations and on a per diluted share basis
represented $.07 and $.07 for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2007 and less than $0.01 per share for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2006. Those same
per diluted share amounts are now reflected in income from
continuing operations in the respective periods.
The income from the two buildings remaining to close in the
third quarter of 2007, and the income and gain on the
12 buildings sold during the second quarter of 2007 are
reflected as discontinued operations as more fully described in
Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements.
We report revenues from our four operating segments: residential
real estate, commercial real estate, rural land sales, and
forestry. Real estate sales are generated from sales of home
sites and housing units, parcels of developed and undeveloped
land, and commercial buildings which are not reported as
discontinued operations. Rental revenue is generated primarily
from lease income related to our marina operations and from the
3 buildings sold as part of our office building portfolio.
Timber sales are generated from the forestry segment. Other
revenues are primarily club operations and management fees from
the residential real estate segment.

The decreases in revenues from real estate sales for the three
month and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to
2006 were primarily due to lower sales in the residential real
estate segment. Timber sales and cost of timber sales increased
in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 2006, primarily due to
increased volume levels. The increase in other revenues for the
second quarter of June 30, 2007 compared to 2006 was
primarily due to increased resort activities in the residential
real estate segment. Cost of real estate sales increased during
the second quarter of 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to the
sales of tracts of land with a higher cost basis in our rural
land sales segment. Cost of real estate sales decreased during
the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 2006
primarily due to overall lower sales in the residential real
estate segment. Other operating expenses increased during the
second quarter of 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to an
increase in corporate support service cost allocations and less
capitalized costs due to our exit from homebuilding. Other
operating expenses decreased during the six months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to lower
administrative costs subsequent to the restructuring in our
rural land sales segment. For further discussion of revenues and
expenses, see Segment Results below.
Corporate expense. Corporate expense,
representing corporate general and administrative expenses,
decreased $4.4 million, or 32%, to $9.2 million in the
second quarter of 2007, from $13.6 million in the second
quarter of 2006. Corporate expense decreased $12.2 million,
or 42%, to $17.1 million in the first six months of 2007,
from $29.3 million in the first six months of 2006. The
decreases in corporate expense were primarily due to decreases
in total stock compensation costs of $2.4 million and
$6.3 million for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2007, respectively. Total stock compensation
decreased because the 2006 periods included the accelerated
amortization of restricted stock related to the retirement of
our former President / COO, and there were fewer
overall stock compensation program participants and outstanding
stock options in 2007. Other general and administrative expenses
decreased approximately $2.0 million and $5.9 million
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively. The decrease in both cases was primarily a
result of an increase in corporate support service expenses
charged to other business segments, reduced insurance expenses,
completion of our 2006 marketing program and overall cost
savings initiatives.
Restructuring charge. We recorded a
restructuring (benefit) charge of $(0.2) million and
$3.0 million in the three month and six month periods ended
June 30, 2007, respectively, in connection with our exit
from the Florida homebuilding business and corporate
reorganization. The year to date charge included
$0.7 million related to the write-off of capitalized
homebuilding costs and $2.3 million related to one-time
termination benefits.

Table of Contents
Other income (expense). Other income (expense)
consists of investment income, interest expense, gains on sales
and dispositions of assets, litigation expense and other income.
Total other income (expense) was $(4.6) million and
$(0.1) million for the three-month periods ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and
$(3.8) million and $(1.8) million for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Interest expense increased $3.3 million and
$6.2 million during the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, primarily as a result
of an increase in average borrowings in 2007 as well as less
capitalized interest. Other income, net decreased
$1.4 million and increased $4.4 million during the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007,
respectively. The year to date increase is primarily a result of
a receipt of a $3.5 million insurance settlement relating
to the defense of an outstanding litigation matter in the first
quarter of 2007 and $2.5 million of litigation expense
included in the first quarter of 2006.
Gain on disposition of assets. Gain on
disposition of assets was $7.6 million and represents the
gain associated with three of the 15 buildings sold as part of
our office building portfolio.
Equity in income of unconsolidated
affiliates. We have investments in affiliates
that are accounted for by the equity method of accounting.
Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates decreased
$2.6 million and $4.5 million in the three month and
six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively. The
decrease was primarily due to lower earnings from our
investments in residential joint ventures, Rivercrest and
Paseos, which are nearing build out.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense,
including income tax on discontinued operations, totaled
$15.4 million and $12.3 million for the three month
periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and
$21.8 million and $14.8 million for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our
effective tax rates were 38% and 39% for the three month periods
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 33% and 39%
for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. Recently, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
examined our federal income tax returns for the years 2000
through 2004. We effectively settled with the IRS in March 2007
with regards to our contested tax positions. This settlement
resulted in an income tax benefit during the quarter ended
March 31, 2007, of approximately $3.1 million for
amounts previously reserved.
Discontinued Operations. Income from
discontinued operations, net of tax, totaled $25.7 million
and $4.2 million for the three month periods ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and
$25.9 million and $5.3 million for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. See the
Residential Real Estate and Commercial Real Estate sections
below for further details on discontinued operations.
Segment

Residential
Real Estate
Our residential real estate segment develops large-scale,
mixed-use resort, primary and seasonal residential communities,
primarily on land we own with very low cost basis. We own large
tracts of land in Northwest Florida, including significant Gulf
of Mexico beach frontage and waterfront properties, and land
near Jacksonville, in Deland and near Tallahassee.
Residential sales slowed significantly beginning in 2006,
particularly in our resort markets. As a result of the slowdown,
inventories of resale homes and home sites have risen
dramatically in our markets. Through the first six months of
2007 high resale inventory levels continued to negatively impact
sales of our products in the majority of our markets.
During the third quarter of 2006, we announced that we were
exiting the Florida homebuilding business to focus on maximizing
the value of our landholdings through place making. There was no
material impact to our financial results in 2006 related to our
exit from Florida homebuilding, other than the restructuring
charge. The exit was made possible by our expanding
relationships with local, regional and national homebuilders.
We have executed purchase and option contracts with several
national, regional and local homebuilders for the purchase of
developed lots in various JOE communities. These transactions
involve land positions in pre-development phases as well as
phases currently under development. These transactions provide
opportunities
25
Table of Contents
for us to accelerate value realization, while at the same time
decreasing our capital requirements. We expect national and
regional homebuilders to be important business partners going
forward.
On May 3, 2007 we sold our mid-Atlantic homebuilding
operations, known as Saussy Burbank (see Discontinued Operations
below).
The following is a description of some of the communities we are
developing in Florida:
WaterColor is situated on approximately 499 acres on the
beaches of the Gulf of Mexico in south Walton County. The
community is planned to include approximately 1,140 units,
including an
11-unit
private residence club with fractional ownership. The community
includes the WaterColor Inn and Resort, the recipient of many
notable awards. Other amenities include a beach club, spa,
tennis center, an award-winning upscale restaurant, retail and
commercial space and neighborhood parks.
WaterSound Beach is located approximately five miles east of
WaterColor. Situated on approximately 256 acres, WaterSound
Beach includes over one mile of beachfront on the Gulf of
Mexico. This community is currently planned to include
approximately 511 units.
WaterSound West Beach is located approximately one-half mile
west of WaterSound Beach on the beach-side of County Road 30A.
This community has been designed for 199 units with private
beach access through the adjacent Deer Lake State Park.
WaterSound is situated on approximately 2,425 acres and
planned for a mixed-use resort community. It is located
approximately three miles from WaterSound Beach north of
U.S. 98 in Walton County. In addition to 1,432 residential
units, WaterSound will include approximately 450,000 square
feet of commercial space, a 6 hole golf course,
pools, parks and other amenities.
Palmetto Trace is a primary home community in Panama City Beach
planned for 481 units on 141 acres. The community is
in the final stage of sales. David Weekley Homes, LLP, a
national homebuilder, is building out the last phase of Palmetto
Trace.
RiverCamps on Crooked Creek is situated on approximately
1,491 acres in western Bay County bounded by West Bay, the
Intracoastal Waterway and Crooked Creek. The community is
planned for 408 high-quality finished cabins in a low-density,
rustic setting with access to various outdoor activities such as
fishing, boating and hiking.
Hawks Landing is a primary home community on approximately
88 acres located in Lynn Haven in Bay County. We plan
to develop and sell 168 home sites at Hawks Landing to local and
national home builders.
WindMark Beach is situated on approximately 2,020 acres in
Gulf County near the town of Port St. Joe and includes
approximately 15,000 feet of beachfront. This beachfront
resort destination is planned to include approximately
1,662 units and 75,000 square feet of commercial space
and will be the next incarnation of Miravals acclaimed,
signature experience in an inspired town and resort destination.
SummerCamp Beach, in Franklin County, is situated on the Gulf of
Mexico on approximately 762 acres. Plans include
approximately 499 units, a beach club, a community dock and
nature trails.
SouthWood is situated on approximately 3,370 acres in
southeast Tallahassee. Planned to include approximately 4,770
residential units, SouthWood includes an 18-hole golf course and
club, and a traditional town center with restaurants,
recreational facilities, retail shops and offices. Over 35% of
the land in this community is designated for open space,
including a
123-acre
central park.
RiverTown is situated on approximately 4,170 acres located
in St. Johns County south of Jacksonville along the St. Johns
River. With parks and public meeting places, RiverTown is being
planned for 4,500 housing units and 500,000 square feet of
commercial space. RiverTown will have seven unique neighborhoods
interwoven with community and retail areas by a series of bike
paths and walkways, with all roads leading to the
communitys centerpiece, the St. Johns River. The
community will offer homebuyers a wide variety of price points
and lifestyles, appealing to several different target markets,
including primary and second-home buyers.
Victoria Park is situated on approximately 1,859 acres in
Volusia County near Interstate 4 in the historic college town of
Deland between Daytona Beach and Orlando. Plans for Victoria
Park include approximately 4,200
26
Table of Contents
single and multi-family units built among parks, lakes and
conservation areas. Victoria Park includes an award-winning
18-hole golf course.
Artisan Park, located in Celebration, near Orlando, is being
developed through a joint venture in which we own 74%. Artisan
Park is situated on approximately 175 acres which we
acquired in 2002. Artisan Park is planned to include
approximately 267 single-family units, 47 townhomes, and 302
condominium units as well as parks, trails and a community
clubhouse with a pool.
Several of our planned developments are in the midst of the
entitlement process or are in the planning stage. We cannot
assure you that:
| the necessary entitlements for development will be secured; | |
| any of our projects can be successfully developed, if at all; or | |
| our projects can be developed in a timely manner. |
It is not feasible to estimate project development costs until
entitlements have been obtained. Large-scale development
projects can require significant infrastructure development
costs and may raise environmental issues that require mitigation.

Revenues and costs of sales associated with multi-family units
and Private Residence Club (PRC) units under
construction are recognized using the percentage-of-completion
method of accounting. Revenue on contracted units is recognized
in proportion to the total costs incurred in relation to
estimated total costs. If a deposit is received for less than
10% for a multi-family or PRC unit, percentage-of-completion
accounting is not utilized. Instead, the full accrual method is
used, which requires recognition of revenue when sales contracts
are closed. All deposits are non-refundable (subject to a
15-day
rescission period as required by law), except for non-delivery
of the unit. In the event a contract does not close for reasons
other than non-delivery, we are entitled to retain the deposit.
In such instances, the revenue and cost of sales related to the
previously recorded contract is reversed. Revenues and
27
Table of Contents
cost of sales associated with multi-family units where
construction has been completed before contracts are entered
into and deposits made are recognized on the full accrual method
of accounting as contracts are closed.
Our townhomes are attached residences sold individually along
with the underlying parcel of land. Revenues and cost of sales
for our townhomes are accounted for using the full accrual
method. These units differ from multi-family and PRC units, in
which buyers hold title to a unit (or in the case of PRC, units
a fractional share of a unit) within a building and an interest
in the underlying land held in common with other building
association members.
Profit is deferred on home site sales when required development
is not complete at the time of the sale. Currently, we are
deferring a portion of profit from home site sales at WaterSound
West Beach, SummerCamp Beach and RiverCamps on Crooked Creek.
Home site sales are recorded at the time of closing, but a
portion of revenue and gross profit on the sales at those
communities is deferred in proportion to required development
not yet completed in relation to total required development
costs and recognized by the percentage-of-completion method as
the work is completed. From project inception to date, remaining
unrecognized deferred profit at WaterSound West Beach was
$0.6 million, substantially all of which we expect to
recognize by the end of 2007. At SummerCamp Beach
$9.1 million of deferred profit remains to be recognized,
all of which we expect to recognize over the next several years.
At RiverCamps on Crooked Creek the required infrastructure was
completed in the second quarter 2007 and all deferred profit
related to the required development had been recognized at
June 30, 2007.
Real estate sales include sales of homes and home sites. Cost of
real estate sales for homes and home sites includes direct costs
(e.g., development and construction costs), selling costs and
other indirect costs (e.g., construction overhead, capitalized
interest, warranty and project administration costs).

Our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities included
WaterColor, WaterSound Beach, WaterSound, WaterSound West Beach,
WindMark Beach, RiverCamps on Crooked Creek and SummerCamp
Beach, while primary communities included Hawks Landing,
Palmetto Trace, The Hammocks and SouthWood. In Northeast Florida
the only primary community with sales activity was St. Johns
Golf and Country Club. The Central Florida communities included
Artisan Park and Victoria Park, both of which are primary.
In our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities, 2007
second quarter revenues and gross profit increased, despite the
comparable number of homes closed in the same period in 2006,
due primarily to a lower margin home sold in 2006. The gross
profit from home site sales increased to $6.9 million in
the second quarter of 2007 from $4.8 million in the second
quarter of 2006 due primarily to the sales of higher margin
homesites in each of the WaterColor and WaterSound Beach
communities in the second quarter of 2007.
In our Northwest Florida primary communities, home closings,
revenues and gross profit decreased in the second quarter of
2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 due primarily to our
exiting Florida homebuilding and market conditions. The gross
profit from single-family home sales decreased $4.4 million
in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in
2006 as a result of a decrease of 58 units closed. Home
site closings and gross profit increased in the second quarter
of 2007 compared with the second quarter 2006 due primarily to
increased closings in SouthWood and Hawks Landing resulting from
our expanding relationships with national and regional
homebuilders.
In our Northeast Florida communities, closed units, revenues and
gross profit decreased in the second quarter of 2007 as compared
to the same period in 2006. This was a result of a lack of
product availability since St. Johns Golf and Country Club is
nearing its 2007 completion. Future home site product will
become available in Northeast Florida at RiverTown, with sales
expected to begin in the third quarter of 2007.
29
Table of Contents
In our Central Florida communities, the gross profit on total
home sales decreased to $1.5 million in the second quarter
of 2007 from $15.1 million in the second quarter of 2006.
This was due to decreased unit closings resulting primarily from
our exiting Florida homebuilding and market conditions. Home
site closings, revenue and gross profit decreased in the second
quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 due to
our Florida homebuilding exit and market conditions.
Other revenues included revenues from the WaterColor Inn and
WaterColor vacation rental program, other resort and club
operations, management fees and brokerage activities. Other
revenues were $12.7 million in the second quarter of 2007
with $11.4 million in related costs, compared to revenues
totaling $12.3 million in the second quarter of 2006 with
$12.1 million in related costs. The reduction in costs was
achieved by improved processes and increased productivity.
Other operating expenses included salaries and benefits,
marketing, project administration, support personnel and other
administrative expenses. Other operating expenses were
$12.9 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to
$10.6 million in the second quarter 2006. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in corporate support service cost
allocations in 2007 and less capitalized costs due to our exit
from homebuilding.

Our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities included
WaterColor, WaterSound Beach, WaterSound, WaterSound West Beach,
WindMark Beach, RiverCamps on Crooked Creek and SummerCamp
Beach, while primary communities included Hawks Landing,
Palmetto Trace, The Hammocks and SouthWood. In Northeast Florida
the only primary community was St. Johns Golf and Country Club.
The Central Florida communities included Artisan Park and
Victoria Park, both of which are primary.
In our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities, for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 revenues and gross
profit increased due primarily to the sale of a higher priced
beach front home in WaterSound Beach. Home site closings for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 exceeded the number of
closings for the same period in 2006 due primarily to increased
closings in WaterColor and WaterSound West Beach. The gross
profit from home site sales increased to $11.8 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $7.2 million
in the same period for 2006 due primarily to the 2007 sales of
beachfront lots in each of the WaterColor and WaterSound Beach
communities.
In our Northwest Florida primary communities, home closings,
revenues and gross profit decreased for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006
due primarily to our exiting the Florida homebuilding business
and market conditions. The gross profit from single-family home
sales decreased $8.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 as a
result of a decrease of 115 units closed. Townhome revenues
and the number of townhomes closed decreased for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006
as we have closed most of the townhomes previously offered for
sale in these communities. Home site closings and gross profit
increased for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as
compared to the same period in 2006 due primarily to increased
closings in SouthWood and Hawks Landing resulting from our
expanding relationships with national and regional homebuilders.

Table of Contents
In our Northeast Florida communities, closed units, revenues and
gross profit decreased for the six months ended June 30,
2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. This was as a
result of a lack of product availability since St. Johns Golf
and Country Club is nearing its 2007 completion. Future home
site product will become available in Northeast Florida at
RiverTown, with sales expected to begin later in 2007.
In our Central Florida communities, the gross profit on
single-family home sales decreased to $2.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same
period in 2006 due to decreased unit closings resulting
primarily from our Florida homebuilding exit and market
conditions. The gross profit recognized using
percentage-of-completion accounting on multi-family residences
decreased significantly for the six months ended June, 30 2007
as compared to the same period in 2006 as the multi-family
residences at Artisan Park were substantially completed in 2006
even though 25 units closed in the first six months of
2007. Home site closings and revenue decreased for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same period in
2006 due to our Florida homebuilding exit and market conditions.
Townhome closings, revenues and gross profit decreased due to
lack of available product.
Other revenues included revenues from the WaterColor Inn and
WaterColor vacation rental program, other resort and club
operations, management fees and brokerage activities. Other
revenues were $19.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 with $19.4 million in related costs,
compared to revenues totaling $19.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2006 with $20.1 million in
related costs.
Other operating expenses included salaries and benefits,
marketing, project administration, support personnel and other
administrative expenses. Other operating expenses were higher at
$24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007
as compared to $22.2 million for the same period 2006. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in corporate support
service cost allocations in 2007 and less capitalized costs due
to our exit from homebuilding.
We recorded a restructuring charge in our residential real
estate segment of $1.1 million in the first six months of
2007 in connection with our exit from the Florida homebuilding
business and corporate reorganization. The charge included
$0.7 million related to the write-off of capitalized
homebuilding costs and $0.4 million related to one-time
termination benefits for affected employees.
Discontinued
Operations
On May 3, 2007, we sold our mid-Atlantic homebuilding
operations, primarily operating under the name Saussy Burbank,
to an investor group based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The
sales price was $76.3 million, consisting of
$36.0 million in cash and approximately $40.3 million
in seller financing, the majority of which is secured by home
inventory and is payable over eighteen months. The results of
Saussy Burbank have been reported as discontinued operations in
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006. Included in 2007 pre-tax income is a $2.2 million
impairment charge to approximate fair value, less costs to sell,
of the sale of Saussy Burbank.

primarily in Texas considered non-core holdings totaling
$4.4 million for a gross profit of $1.0 million.
Dispositions
of Assets
On April 30, 2007, we entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement for the disposition of our seventeen-building office
portfolio, containing approximately 2.25 million net
rentable square feet, for $383 million. On June 20,
2007, we closed the sale of 15 of the 17 properties for a cash
price of $277.5 million. As discussed earlier, three of the
buildings have been reported in continuing operations; 12 have
been reported in discontinued operations. The assets and
liabilities of the two remaining buildings have been classified
as held for sale at June 30, 2007 and their
operating results have been presented as discontinued
operations. The sale of one of the remaining two office
buildings closed on August 7, 2007 for a sales price of
$56.0 million. The sale of the final office building is
anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2007 for a sales
price of $44.0 million.

Rural
Land Sales
Our rural land sales segment markets for sale large tracts of
land of varying sizes for rural recreational, conservation,
residential and timberland uses. The rural land sales segment
prepares land for sale for these uses through harvesting,
thinning and other silviculture practices, and in some cases,
limited infrastructure development.

Land sales in the second quarter of 2007 included the sale of
33,035 acres in southwest Georgia for $46.4 million,
or $1,405 per acre. Land sales in the six month period ended
June 30, 2007 also included the sale of 26,943 acres
in Liberty and Gadsden counties for $34.5 million, or
$1,281 per acre. After analysis of the physical characteristics
and location of the land, we determined that it would take a
significant amount of time and effort before we would be able to
realize a higher and better value on these particular parcels.
Land sales in the second quarter of 2006 included the sale of
2,801 acres in Wakulla County for $5.2 million, or
approximately $1,850 per acre and the sale of 2,590 acres
along the St. Marks River for a new state park for
$10.6 million, or approximately $4,093 per acre. Cost of
sales increased during the three month and six month periods
ended June 30, 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to a
higher cost basis associated with the sale of our southwest
Georgia property, which we purchased in 2005. We continually
evaluate the pricing and timing of land sales based upon a
careful analysis of the present value of the land.
Average sales prices per acre vary according to the
characteristics of each particular piece of land being sold and
their highest and best use. As a result, average prices will
vary from one period to another.

Three
Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
Total revenues increased $1.6 million, or 21%, in the
second quarter of 2007 compared to the comparable period in
2006. Total sales under our fiber agreement with Smurfit-Stone
Container Corporation were $3.5 million (198,500 tons) in
2007 and $3.3 million (172,500) in 2006. Sales revenues
related to our fiber agreement remained stable despite the
increase in volumes due to lower average pricing. Sales to other
customers totaled $3.2 million (185,000 tons) in 2007 as
compared to $2.7 million (151,000 tons) in 2006. The
increase in revenue and tons for outside customers was due to
the harvesting of more pine products because of dry weather this
year. Revenues from the mill operation were $2.7 million in
2007 and $1.8 million in 2006. The increase was due to
increased bagged mulch sales related to a new customer and
increased order levels from an existing customer to fulfill
large contracts.
Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2007 increased
$0.9 million, or 14%, when compared to 2006. Cost of sales
as a percentage of revenues were 77% in 2007 and 81% in 2006.
The increase was primarily attributed to the increased cut and
haul costs from delivering the additional timber to
Smurfit-Stone. Offsetting the increased cut and haul costs were
decreases in property tax, road maintenance and soil enhancement
expenses. Property taxes and soil enhancement expenses have
decreased due to selling large acreage tracts this year. Dryer
weather has decreased the amount of road maintenance needed on
logging roads. Cost of sales for the mill operation were
$2.4 million, or 89% of revenues, in 2007 and
$1.6 million, or 89% of revenues, in 2006. The increase in
cost of sales was due to increased consumption of raw materials
and bagging supplies related to higher mulch sales during the
second quarter of 2007 when compared the 2006.
Other income decreased $0.2 million during the second
quarter 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in
hunting club lease revenue as a result of two large land sales
during the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Six
Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
Total revenues increased $0.1 million, or less than 1%, for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 2006. Sales
under the fiber agreement were $6.6 million (366,000 tons)
in 2007 and $6.5 million (349,000 tons) in 2006. Sales
revenues related to our fiber agreement remained stable despite
the increase in volumes due to lower average pricing. Sales to
other customers totaled $4.9 million (280,000 tons) in the
first six months of 2007 as compared to $6.5 million
(325,000 tons) in 2006. The decreases in revenues and tons sold
to other customers was due to a temporary plant shutdown at one
of our customer locations and general oversupply levels of our
customers during the first quarter of 2007. Revenues for the
mill operation increased to $4.9 million in 2007 compared
to $3.3 million in 2006 primarily due to increased customer
demand.
37
Table of Contents
Cost of sales increased $1.0 million, or 8%, in 2007
compared to 2006. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues were
80% in 2007 and 75% in 2006. The increase was primarily related
to increased cut and haul costs due to hauling additional timber
to Smurfit-Stone. Cost of sales for the mill operation were
$4.2 million, or 88% of revenues in 2007, compared to
$2.9 million, or 88% of revenues, in 2006. The increase in
cost of sales was primarily a result of an increase in sales
demand.
Other income decreased $0.5 million during in 2007. The
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in hunting club lease
revenue as a result of two large land sales during the second
quarter ended June 30, 2007.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We generate cash from:
| Operations; | |
| Sales of land holdings, other assets and subsidiaries; | |
| Borrowings from financial institutions and other debt; and | |
| Issuances of equity, primarily from the exercise of employee stock options. |
We use cash for:
| Operations; | |
| Real estate development; | |
| Construction and homebuilding; | |
| Repurchases of our common stock; | |
| Payments of dividends; | |
| Repayments of debt; | |
| Payments of taxes; and | |
| Investments in joint ventures and acquisitions. |
Management believes we have adequate resources to fund ongoing
operating requirements and future capital expenditures related
to our continued investment in real estate developments. In
light of current real estate market conditions, however, we have
significantly adjusted our capital investment plans and continue
to evaluate the appropriateness of our plans.
If our liquidity were not adequate to fund our cash
requirements, we would have various alternatives available to
change our cash flow, including reducing or eliminating our
share repurchase program, reducing or eliminating dividends,
changing our capital structure, altering the timing of our
development projects
and/or
selling existing assets. In particular, our share repurchase and
dividend programs are contingent upon adequate income and other
sources of cash flow including asset sales. In the event that
these sources were insufficient to sustain the existing level of
share repurchases or dividend payments, if any, we would reduce
or eliminate either or both. Based on our current expectations,
we believe we will have adequate income and cash flows to
sustain our existing level of dividend payments into the
foreseeable future.
Cash
Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operations was $120.2 million and
$139.6 million in the first six months of 2007 and 2006,
respectively. During such periods, expenditures relating to our
residential real estate segment were $126.2 million and
$326.2 million, respectively. Expenditures for operating
properties in the first six months of 2007 and 2006 totaled
$1.7 million and $23.1 million, respectively, and were
made up of commercial land development and residential club and
resort property development.

Table of Contents
The expenditures for operating activities relating to our
residential real estate and commercial real estate segments were
primarily for site infrastructure development, general amenity
construction, construction of single-family homes, construction
of multi-family buildings and commercial land development.
Historically, approximately 40% to 50% of these expenditures
were for home construction that generally takes place after the
signing of a binding contract with a buyer to purchase the
completed home. Due to our exit from homebuilding, we expect a
significant reduction in construction expenditures related to
single-family homes after we finish the homes currently under
construction in Florida. Also, as a result of the sale of Saussy
Burbank, total expenditures for single-family home construction
in the future are expected to decline to an immaterial amount.
Residential and commercial site infrastructure development and
general amenity construction spending will be determined
primarily by market conditions, and multi-family building
construction will be dependent on pre-sale requirements being
met.
Over the next several years, our need for cash for operations
will remain significant as development activity continues. We
currently have four new residential communities requiring
significant up-front capital investments, and these communities
will continue to require significant capital expenditures.
Our current income tax payable was $72.9 million and
$9.9 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31,
2006, respectively. Our net deferred income tax liability was
$102.2 million and $211.1 million at June 30,
2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The change in our
tax accounts was primarily a result of the reversal of deferred
tax gains related to the sale of our office building portfolio.
In addition, we made $86.0 million in tax payments related
to an IRS settlement for the years 2000 through 2004 in the
first quarter of 2007. The disposition of our office building
portfolio will also require us to make significant tax payments
by the end of the year.
Our accrued liabilities were $73.0 million and
$123.5 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31,
2006, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributed to the
settlement of a $39.0 million tax liability, which was part
of our IRS examination as discussed above and in Note 6 to
our consolidated financial statements.
Cash
Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was
$287.6 million and $10.1 million in the first six
months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
On April 30, 2007, we entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement for the disposition of our seventeen-building office
portfolio, containing approximately 2.25 million net
rentable square feet, for $383 million. On June 20,
2007, we closed the sale of 15 of the 17 properties in the
office building portfolio for a cash price of
$277.5 million. The sale of one of the remaining two office
buildings closed on August 7, 2007 with a sales price of
$56.0 million, consisting of cash proceeds of approximately
$26.7 million and the defeasance of approximately
$29.3 million of mortgage debt. The sale of the final
office building is also expected to close in the third quarter
of 2007 for a sales price of $44.0 million, consisting of
cash proceeds of approximately $15.4 million and the
assumption of $28.6 million in mortgage debt. On
May 3, 2007, we sold our mid-Atlantic homebuilding
operations, primarily operating under the name Saussy Burbank,
to an investor group based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The
sales price was $76.3 million, consisting of
$36.0 million in cash and approximately $40.3 million
in seller financing. Net proceeds from both of these sale
transactions have been and will be used to pay taxes and pay
down debt.
Cash
Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $184.2 million
and $29.6 million in the first six months of 2007 and 2006,
respectively. At June 30, 2007, we had approximately
$120.0 million of debt maturing in less than one year. We
used the cash proceeds from the sale of our mid-Atlantic
homebuilding operations to pay down debt. We also used the net
proceeds from the sale of 15 buildings in our office portfolio
to pay down debt. Assuming the sale of the remaining two
buildings of the portfolio is completed, we expect to use the
net proceeds to pay down debt. We expect to spend
$50 million to $100 million for dividend payments and
the repurchase of shares during 2007. We continue to remain
committed to making distributions to our shareholders, primarily
through the dividend program, and on a secondary level through
our share repurchase program when facts and circumstances
warrant.

Table of Contents
In the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we sold
33,035 acres in southwest Georgia. In connection with this
sale we recorded two installment notes in the amount of
$46.4 million, which are reflected in notes receivable.
These notes were monetized in July 2007 and we received
approximately $41.5 million in cash through that
transaction. Proceeds from the transaction were used to pay down
debt.
Our $500 million senior revolving credit facility (the
Credit Facility), which matures in July 2009, bears
interest based on leverage levels at LIBOR plus an applicable
margin in the range of 0.4% to 1.0%. The balance outstanding was
$20.0 million and $60.0 million at June 30, 2007
and December 31, 2006, respectively. The Credit Facility
contains financial covenants including maximum debt ratios and
minimum fixed charge coverage and net worth requirements.
Management believes that we were in compliance with the
covenants of the Credit Facility at June 30, 2007. In June
2007 we amended the Credit Facility to favorably adjust the
financial covenant addressing the fixed charge coverage ratio to
provide for a four quarter, instead of a two quarter,
calculation. This change better reflects the lumpy nature of our
quarterly earnings. Proceeds from the increased Credit Facility
have been and will be used for the repayment of debt maturing in
2007, development and construction projects and general
corporate purposes.
Senior notes issued in private placements had an outstanding
principal amount of $240.0 million at June 30, 2007
and $307.0 million at December 31, 2006. During the
first quarter 2007, we paid $67.0 million related to our
Series B 2002 notes, which matured on February 7,
2007. These senior notes have financial performance covenants
similar to those in the Credit Facility. In July 2007, we
entered into amendments to our 2002 and 2005 senior notes making
the same adjustments to the fixed charge covenant as described
above for the Credit Facility. The proceeds of the senior notes
were used to finance development and construction projects, as
well as for general corporate purposes.
We have used community development district (CDD)
bonds to finance the construction of infrastructure improvements
at six 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 record a liability for future assessments which are
fixed or determinable and will be levied against our properties.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue
91-10,
Accounting for Special Assessments and Tax Increment
Financing, we have recorded as debt $61.8 million and
$43.1 million related to CDD bonds as of June 30, 2007
and December 31, 2006, respectively.
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 June 30, 2007. There is no expiration date for
the Stock Repurchase Program, and the specific timing and amount
of repurchases will vary based on available cash, market
conditions, securities law limitations and other factors. From
the inception of the Stock Repurchase Program in 1998 to
June 30, 2007, we have repurchased from shareholders
27,945,611 shares. During the six month period ended
June 30, 2007, we did not repurchase shares from
shareholders compared to 900,100 shares repurchased in the
six-month period ended June 30, 2006.
Executives have surrendered a total of 2,257,738 shares of
our stock since 1998 in payment of strike prices and taxes due
on exercised stock options and vested restricted stock. During
the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
executives surrendered a total of 4,179 and 4,596 shares,
respectively, as payment for strike prices and taxes due on
exercised stock options and vested restricted stock.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We are not currently a party to any material off-balance sheet
arrangements as defined in Item 303 of
Regulation S-K.
Contractual
Obligations and Commercial Commitments
We had debt obligations of $486.5 million (including $58.0
million associated with liabilities held for sale) and
$627.1 million outstanding at June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively. At June 30, 2007, we
had $120.0 million of debt due in less than one year. The
decrease in outstanding debt obligations is primarily related to
the pay down of debt related to the 15 buildings we sold in the
second quarter of 2007 and of our Credit Facility. We
40
Table of Contents
had contractual purchase obligations of $85.3 million and
$128.2 million outstanding at June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively.
There have been no other material changes in the amounts of our
contractual obligations and commercial commitments presented in
our
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006, during the first six
months of 2007.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
As of June 30, 2007, the balance outstanding under our
Credit Facility was $20.0 million. This debt accrues
interest at different rates based on the timing of the loan
contracts under the facility and our preferences, but generally
will be based on either one, two, three or six month London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a LIBOR margin
in effect at the time of each contract. The debt potentially
subjects us to interest rate risk relating to the change in
LIBOR rates. If LIBOR had been 100 basis points higher or
lower throughout the six months ended June 30, 2007, the
effect on net income over the same time period with respect to
interest expense on the Credit Facility would have been a
respective decrease or increase in the amount of
$1.3 million pre-tax ($0.8 million net of tax).
There have been no other material changes to the quantitative
and qualitative disclosures about market risk set forth in our
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006, during the first six
months of 2007.
Item 4. | 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 June 30, 2007, 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.
