NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)
1. | 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. Substantially all 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 (SEC) 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 inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2007 balance
sheet amounts have been derived from the Companys
December 31, 2007 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, 2007. The Company adheres
to the same accounting policies in preparation of 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 reclassifications have been made to the prior
years financial statements to conform to the current
period classifications. The Company reclassified deferred
acquisition costs and accrued postretirement benefits on its
consolidated balance sheet in 2007 and on its consolidated
statements of cash flow for the six months ended June 30,
2007, which were previously presented as other assets and
accounts payable, respectively. The Company had historically
recorded revenue and costs from its marina operations in rental
revenue and cost of rental revenue. Effective June 30,
2008, the Company records revenue and costs from its marina
operations in other revenue and other cost of revenue. These
reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net
income.
New
Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS 157). This Statement
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It
applies to other accounting pronouncements where the FASB
requires or permits fair value measurements but does not require
any new fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB
issued FASB Staff Position (FSP)
No. 157-2,
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP
No. 157-2),
which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for certain
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities to fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. Non-financial assets and
liabilities include pension plan assets related to the funded
status of the Companys pension plan, goodwill, investment
in real estate, intangible assets with indefinite lives,
guarantees and certain other items. The Company adopted
SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities on
January 1, 2008. The partial adoption of SFAS 157, as
it relates to financial assets and liabilities, did not have any
impact on the Companys results of operations or financial
position, other than additional disclosures (see Note 14).
The Company has deferred the adoption of SFAS 157 with
regards to non-financial assets and
6
Table of Contents
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
liabilities in accordance with FSP
No. 157-2.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect, if any,
the adoption of FSP
No. 157-2
will have on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133 (SFAS 161). This Statement
requires enhanced disclosures about an entitys derivative
and hedging activities, including (a) how and why an entity
uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments
and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, and its related interpretations, and
(c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect an entitys financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is in the
process of evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of
SFAS 161 will have on its financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(SFAS 162). SFAS 162 is
effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU
Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity
With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This
statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and
the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the
preparation of financial statements that are presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF)
03-6-1,
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based
Payment Transactions are Participating Securities. The Staff
Position holds that unvested share-based payment awards that
contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend
equivalents are considered participating securities
as defined in
EITF 03-6
and therefore should be included in computing earnings per share
using the two-class method. The Staff Position is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after December 15, 2008. When the Staff Position
is adopted, its requirements will be applied by recasting
previously reported earning per share data. The Company is in
the process of evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of
this FSP will have on its financial statements.
2. | Stock-Based Compensation and Earnings Per Share |
Stock-Based
Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with
the provisions of SFAS No. 123 revised
2004, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R),
which superseded 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 (effective
January 1, 2006), under which prior periods are not revised
for comparative purposes. The valuation provisions of
SFAS 123R apply 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
and/or
market conditions. Option and share
7
Table of Contents
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in
control (as defined in the award agreements). The total amount
of restricted shares and options originally available for grant
under each of the Companys four plans was 8.5 million
shares, 1.4 million shares, 2.0 million shares, and
3.0 million shares, respectively. Non-vested restricted
shares generally vest over requisite service periods of
three-year or four-year periods, beginning on the date of each
grant, and are recognized as compensation expense over the
vesting period based upon the value at date of grant. Stock
option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to market
price of the Companys stock at the date of grant. The
options vest over requisite service periods and are exercisable
in equal installments on the first through fourth or fifth
anniversaries, as applicable, of the date of grant and generally
expire 7 to 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 uses an estimated
dividend yield in the option valuation model when dividends are
anticipated.
Market
Condition Grants
In February 2008, under its 2001 Stock Incentive Plan, the
Company granted select executives and other key employees
non-vested restricted stock awards with vesting based upon the
achievement of certain market conditions that are defined as the
Companys total shareholder return as compared to the total
shareholder return of certain peer groups during the 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 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.

Earnings
Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by
the average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the period, including all potentially dilutive shares issuable
under outstanding stock options and non-vested restricted stock.
Non-vested restricted shares subject to vesting based on the
achievement of market conditions are treated as contingently
issuable shares and considered outstanding only upon the
satisfaction of the market condition. The Company has excluded
541,212 potentially dilutive shares which were contingently
issuable upon the achievement of future market conditions from
its dilutive shares outstanding during the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2008. Stock options and non-vested
restricted stock are not considered in any diluted earnings per
share calculation when the Company has a loss from continuing
operations. The anti-dilutive stock options and non-vested
restricted stock excluded from the computation of diluted
earnings per share totaled 130,380 and 281,929, respectively,
for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 213,367 and
311,266, respectively, for the three months ended June 30,

During the second quarter of 2008, the Company sold a total of
29,343 acres of timberland in exchange for
15-year
installment notes receivable in the aggregate amount of
approximately $38.4 million, During the first quarter of
2008, the Company sold a total of 49,688 acres of
timberland in two separate transactions in exchange for
15-year
installment notes receivable in the aggregate amount of
approximately $70.0 million. The installment notes are
fully backed by irrevocable letters of credit issued by a third
party financial institution.
In April 2008, the Company contributed $30.5 million of the
$70.0 million installment notes to a bankruptcy-remote,
qualified special purpose entity (QSPE) established
in accordance with SFAS No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities. The QSPE subsequently monetized
$30.5 million of the installment notes by issuing debt
securities to third-party investors equal to approximately 90%
of the value of the installment notes and distributed
approximately $27.4 million in gross proceeds
($27.1 million net of closing costs) to the Company.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company recorded a loss of $1.9 million during the
second quarter of 2008 on the monetization of the
$30.5 million notes receivable through the QSPE. The amount
of loss is determined based on the original carrying value of
the notes, allocated between the assets monetized and the
retained interest based on their relative fair value at the date
of monetization. The Companys retained interest consists
principally of net excess cash flows (the difference between the
interest received on the notes receivable and the interest paid
on the debt issued to third parties and the collection of notes
receivable principal net of the repayment of debt) and a cash
reserve account. Fair value of the retained interest is
estimated based on the present value of future excess cash flows
to be received over the life of the notes, using
managements best estimate of underlying assumptions,
including credit risk and discount rates.
During 2007, the Company sold a total of 53,024 acres of
timberland in two separate transactions in exchange for
15-year
installment notes receivable in the aggregate amount of
$74.9 million, which installment notes are fully backed by
letters of credit issued by a third party financial institution.
The Company contributed the 2007 installment notes to QSPEs,
which were subsequently monetized by issuing debt securities to
third party investors equal to approximately 90% of the value of
the installment notes. The QSPEs distributed approximately
$67.4 million in gross proceeds ($66.9 million net of
closing costs) to the Company.
The debt securities are payable solely out of the assets of the
QSPEs (which consists of the installment notes and the
irrevocable letters of credit). The investors in the QSPEs have
no recourse to the Company for payment of the debt securities.
The QSPEs financial position and results are not
consolidated in the Companys financial statements.

6. | Asset Impairments |
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
home-sites 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 using estimated
future expenditures necessary to maintain the existing service
potential of the project and using managements best
estimates about future sales prices and holding periods. The
continued decrease in demand and market prices for residential
real estate during the first six months of 2008 indicated that
certain carrying amounts within the Companys residential
real estate segment may not be recoverable. In addition, for the
second quarter 2008 the Company recorded an impairment charge of
$0.8 million related to the write down of a renegotiated
builder note receivable. As a result of its impairment analyses,
the Company has recorded aggregate impairment charges of
$3.2 million in the residential real estate segment for the
first six months of 2008 of which $2.2 million was
recognized in the first quarter and $1.0 million in the
second quarter.
7. | Restructuring |
During late 2006 and early 2007, the Company implemented certain
corporate organizational changes, including its exit from the
Florida homebuilding business, to focus on maximizing the value
of its landholdings through place-making. The Company also
eliminated certain redundancies among its field and corporate
operations. Additionally, in late 2007, the Company announced a
restructuring of its business to enhance and accelerate its
value creation process. The plan included the divestiture of
non-core assets, a significant reduction in capital
expenditures, a smaller operating structure requiring fewer
employees and an increased focus on the use of strategic
business partners. In June 2008, the Company implemented an
additional restructuring plan designed to further align employee
headcount with the Companys projected workload. The

8. | Discontinued Operations |
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 buildings
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 have been included in continuing
operations due to the Companys continuing involvement as a
lessee. The Company expects to incur continuing cash outflows
related to these three properties over the next four years. The
sales of the remaining two office buildings closed on
August 7, 2007 for a sale price and pre-tax gain of
$56.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively, and
September 19, 2007, for a sale price and pre-tax gain of
$44.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The
income on the 14 buildings with no sale-leaseback arrangement
for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are reflected
in discontinued operations below.
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 year
to date 2007 discontinued operations is a $2.2 million
(pre-tax) impairment charge to approximate fair value, less
costs to sell, related to the sale of Saussy Burbank.
The Company announced on October 8, 2007 its plan to
dispose of Sunshine State Cypress mill and mulch plant as part
of its restructuring plan. The plan includes the divestiture of
non-core assets, including the sale of its wholly owned
subsidiary Sunshine State Cypress, Inc. The related assets and
liabilities of this operation have been classified as
held-for-sale at June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007 as all of the criteria under the
applicable accounting literature have been met. Accordingly, the
results of operations of Sunshine State Cypress have been
presented as discontinued operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

In connection with the closing of the common stock offering on
March 3, 2008, the Company prepaid its $100 million
term loan (the Term Loan) with Bank of America, N.A.
and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Credit Agreement
for the Term Loan was terminated in connection with the
prepayment. There were no significant penalties or costs
associated with the prepayment of the Term Loan.
On April 4, 2008, the Company prepaid its $240 million
Senior Notes. The redemption price was equal to accrued
interest, plus 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes
to be redeemed, plus a make-whole amount based on interest rates
at the time of prepayment. The make-whole amount of
approximately $29.7 million was paid in April 2008. In
addition, the Company recorded a non-cash expense in the second
quarter of 2008 of approximately $0.2 million attributable
to the write-off of unamortized loan costs, net of accrued
interest, associated with
14

the Senior Notes. As a result, the Company recognized a charge
of $29.9 million during the second quarter related to the
early extinguishment of debt.
In addition to the debt prepayments described above, the Company
also paid down on March 3, 2008 the then entire outstanding
balance (approximately $160 million) of its
$500 million revolving credit facility. Although it now has
a zero outstanding balance, the revolving credit facility has
not been terminated and remains in place as a source of
liquidity for the Company. The Company had $496.2 million
of available capacity under its revolving credit facility at
June 30, 2008. The credit facility expires on July 21, 2009
(with the ability to extend to July 2010) and bears
interest based on leverage levels and LIBOR plus a margin in the
range of 0.4% to 1.0% (currently 0.50%). The credit facility
contains financial covenants including maximum debt ratios and
minimum fixed charge coverage and net worth requirements. The
Company believes it is in compliance with its debt covenants at
June 30, 2008. The Company also retired approximately
$30.0 million of other debt from the proceeds of its common
stock offering.
In connection with the sale of the Companys office
building portfolio in 2007, the Company retained approximately
$29.3 million of defeased debt. The defeasance transaction
resulted in the establishment of a defeasance trust and deposit
of proceeds of $31.1 million which will be used to pay down
the related mortgage debt. The Company purchased treasury
securities sufficient to satisfy the scheduled interest and
principal payments contractually due under the mortgage debt
agreement. The cash flows from these securities have interest
and maturity payments that coincide with the scheduled debt
service payments of the mortgage note and ultimate payment of
principal. The treasury securities were then substituted for the
office building that originally served as collateral for the
mortgage debt. These securities were placed into a collateral
account for the sole purpose of funding the principal and

11. | 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, an Interpretation
of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. The
Company had approximately $1.0 million of total
unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2008, none of
which, if recognized, would 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 $2.2 million (net of
tax benefit) at June 30, 2008. During 2008, the Company
reduced its accrual for estimated interest by approximately
$0.7 million (net of tax benefit). There were no other
significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits including
interest and penalties during the second quarter of 2008, and
the Company does not expect any significant changes to its
unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has examined
federal income tax returns of the Company for the years 2000
through 2004. In March 2007, the Company effectively settled
certain previously contested tax positions with the IRS. This
settlement resulted in an additional amount owed for 2000
through 2004 tax years of approximately $83.0 million,
which had previously been accrued for. This amount included
estimated interest of approximately $16.6 million (before
tax benefit). This settlement with the IRS resulted in a
reduction in income tax expense during the quarter ended
March 31, 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 was recognized in net income during the
quarter ended March 31, 2007 and was not reflected in a
cumulative effect adjustment upon the adoption of FIN 48.
Tax years 2005 through 2007 remain subject to examination.
12. | 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 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 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 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
income. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The
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. They are each
managed separately and decisions about allocations of resources
are determined by management based on these strategic business
units.

13. | 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. When appropriate, the Company
establishes estimated accruals for various litigation matters
which meet the requirements of SFAS 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, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company
was party to surety bonds of $52.2 million and
$48.7 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit
in the amounts of $3.8 million and $21.1 million,
respectively, which may potentially result in liability to the
Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.
At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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 has 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. The Company expects the
remaining $3.8 million held in escrow to be released to it
in 2008. The release of escrow funds will not have a material
effect on the Companys 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 Environmental Protection. The paper
mill site has been assessed and rehabilitated by Smurfit-Stone
Container Corporation
18
Table of Contents
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
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 $1.8 million
at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
14. | Fair value measurements |
As described in Note 1, the Company partially adopted
SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. SFAS 157, 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. SFAS 157
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, SFAS 157
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. |
Assets measured at fair value are as follows:

Table of Contents
Overview
The St. Joe Company is one of the largest real estate
development companies 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 enhancement, 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; and | |
| brokerage and title issuance fees on certain transactions within our residential real estate developments. |
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 rural land with limited development. Our forestry segment
generates revenues from the sale of pulpwood, timber and forest
products.
Since late 2005 through the present, the United States, and
Florida in particular, have experienced a substantial decline in
demand in most residential real estate markets. At the same
time, the supply of existing homes for sale has risen
nationwide, with dramatic increases in Florida. Although these
weak market conditions have affected sales of all of our
residential real estate products, we have experienced the most
significant decrease in demand and increase in resale
inventories in our resort and seasonal markets.
The downturn in the real estate market is causing prices for
residential real estate to decline. The already weak conditions
in the real estate markets are being further exacerbated by
problems in the mortgage lending industry, including a lack of
mortgage availability and more restrictive lending standards, as
well as the current deterioration of national economic
conditions.
As a result of the dramatic downturn in the residential real
estate markets, revenues from our residential real estate
segment have drastically declined, which has had an adverse
affect on our financial condition and results of operations.
With the U.S. and Florida economies battling rising home
foreclosures, a tightening of credit and significant inventories
of unsold homes, predicting when real estate markets will return
to health remains difficult. The markets for commercial real
estate, particularly retail, have also experienced a downturn in
volume since 2005 and remain weak.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we significantly
increased rural land sales in response to the continuing
downturn in our residential and commercial real estate markets.
During the first six months of 2008, we sold 86,833 acres
of rural land for approximately $130.1 million, which
represented 71% of our 2008 revenues.
On June 26, 2008, we implemented a restructuring plan
designed to further align employee headcount with the
Companys projected workload. We eliminated approximately
30 employee positions and have accelerated the termination
dates of approximately 10 employees included in
previously announced restructurings. The Company
expects to take a charge to earnings of approximately
$3.3 million in connection with the current restructuring
plan. Approximately $2.0 million of the total charges were
recorded in the second quarter of 2008 and the remaining charges
will be incurred in the third quarter of 2008. The charges are
termination benefits to employees. Approximately
$3.0 million of the total charges are future cash
expenditures payable by the Company, and
22
Table of Contents
approximately $0.3 million of the total charges are credits
to participants pension plan accounts funded by the
Companys pension plan assets.
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, 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, 2007. There have been no
significant changes in these policies during the first six
months of 2008.
Results
of Operations
Net income (loss) decreased $46.1 million to
$(20.8) million, or $(0.23) per share, in the second
quarter of 2008, compared to $25.3 million, or $0.34 per
share, for the second quarter of 2007. Included in our results
for the three months ended June 30, 2008 are the following
significant charges:
| loss on early extinguishment of debt of $29.9 million related to the prepayment of our $240 million senior notes, |
| an impairment charge of $1.0 million consisting of $0.8 million related to the write down of a renegotiated builder note receivable and $0.2 million related to the write down of homes in our residential real estate segment, |
| $2.5 million related to our restructuring program and | |
| $1.9 million related to a loss on the monetization of installment notes. |
Results for the three months ended June 30, 2008 reported
in discontinued operations primarily include the operations of
Sunshine State Cypress (after tax (loss) of
$(0.1) million). Results for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 include a gain of $7.6 million related
to three buildings sold from our office building portfolio in
which we have continuing involvement. Results for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 reported in discontinued
operations include the operating results of 14 of the 17
buildings in our commercial building portfolio (after tax income
of $1.8 million), the gain associated with the sale of 12
buildings sold during the second quarter of 2007 (after tax
income $23.5 million), the operations of Saussy Burbank
(after tax income $0.4 million), and the operations of
Sunshine State Cypress (after tax income $0.4 million).
Net income decreased $33.8 million to $11.2 million,
or $0.13 per share, in the first six months of 2008, compared to
$45.0 million, or $0.61 per share, for the first six months
of 2007. Included in our results for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 are the following significant charges:

Results for the six months ended June 30, 2008 reported in
discontinued operations primarily include the operations of
Sunshine State Cypress (after tax (loss) less than
$(0.1) million). Results for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 include a gain of $7.6 million related
to three buildings sold from our office building portfolio in
which we have continuing involvement. Results for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 reported in discontinued operations
include the operating results of 14 of the 17 buildings in our
commercial building portfolio (after tax income
$1.3 million), the gain associated with the sale of 12

income $23.5 million), the operations of Saussy Burbank
(after tax income $1.1 million), and the operations of
Sunshine State Cypress (after tax income $0.6 million).
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, housing units and parcels of developed and
undeveloped land. We historically recorded revenues and costs
from our marina operations in rental revenues and cost of rental
revenues. Effective June 30, 2008, we record revenues and
costs from our marina operations in other revenues and other
cost of revenue. These reclassifications have no effect on
previously reported net income. Timber sales are generated from
the forestry segment. Other revenues are primarily resort and
club operations from the residential real estate segment.

The overall decrease in real estate sales revenues for the three
month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to 2007 was
primarily due to decreased sales in our residential real estate
segment and, to a lesser extent, our rural land sales segment.
Approximately $39.0 million of our second quarter 2008
revenues were generated by rural land sales compared to
$52.9 million in the second quarter of 2007. Cost of real
estate sales decreased primarily due to the sales of large
tracts of land with a higher cost basis in our rural land sales
segment in 2007, and to a lesser extent, decreased sales in our
residential real estate segment. The overall decrease in real
estate sales revenues for the six month period ended
June 30, 2008 compared to 2007 was primarily due to
decreased sales in our residential real estate segment offset by
increased sales in our rural land sales segment. Approximately
$130.1 million of our year to date 2008 revenues were
generated by rural land sales compared to $99.6 million in
the first half of 2007. Cost of real estate sales decreased
primarily due to the overall sales mix of large tracts of land
with a lower cost basis in our rural land sales segment in 2008
compared to 2007, and to a lesser extent, decreased sales in our
residential real estate segment.

Corporate expense. Corporate expense,
representing corporate, general and administrative expenses, was
$9.4 million and $9.1 million during the three months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Corporate
expense increased $0.9 million, or 5% to $18.0 million
in the first six months of 2008, from $17.1 million in the
first six months of 2007. Lower payroll related costs in 2008
attributable to staffing reductions were offset by additional
deferred compensation expense. During early 2008, we granted
certain members of management an aggregate 603,840 shares
of non-vested restricted stock with vesting conditions based on
our performance over a three-year period. We recognized
approximately $1.8 million of additional expense related to
these grants during the first six months of 2008. In addition,
we reserved approximately $0.7 million in costs during the
second quarter of 2008 in connection with the termination of a
supplier agreement related to our website development and
marketing plan.
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 home-sites 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 the existing service potential of the project and
using managements best estimates about future sales prices
and holding periods. The continued decline in demand and market
prices for residential real estate during the first six months
of 2008 caused us to evaluate certain carrying amounts within
our residential real estate segment. As a result of our
impairment analyses, we recorded an impairment charge in our
residential real estate segment of $0.2 million for the
second quarter of 2008 and $2.2 million for the first
quarter 2008 primarily related to completed homes in several
communities. In addition, we recorded a charge of
$0.8 million related to the write down of a renegotiated
builder note receivable during the second quarter 2008.
Restructuring charge. We recorded a
restructuring charge of $2.5 million and a credit of
$(0.2) million in the three months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, respectively. The 2008 charge relates to one-time
termination benefits in connection with our recently announced
employee headcount reductions. Year to date charges were
$3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007. Year to date 2007 charges consist primarily of
one-time termination benefits made in connection with our 2007
corporate reorganizations.
Other income (expense). Other income (expense)
consists primarily of investment income, interest expense, gains
on sales and dispositions of assets, loss related to the
monetization of installment notes, loss on early extinguishment
of debt and other income. Other income (expense) was
$(29.9) million and $3.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and
$(31.7) million and $3.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Interest
expense decreased $6.3 million and $6.8 million during
the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008,
respectively, primarily as a result of our reduced debt levels.
We recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of
$29.9 million during the second quarter 2008 in connection
with the prepayment of our senior notes. The costs included a
$29.7 million make-whole payment and $0.2 million of
unamortized loan costs, net of accrued interest. Other, net
decreased $1.9 million during the second quarter of 2008
primarily due to recording a loss of $1.9 million related
to the monetization of installment notes receivable. Other, net
decreased $5.4 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2008 compared to 2007 primarily due to recording a
loss of $1.9 million related to the monetization of
installment notes receivable and receipt of a $3.5 million
insurance settlement related to the defense of an outstanding
litigation matter included in 2007. Gain on disposition of
assets was $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2007 and
represents the gain associated with three of the 15 buildings
sold as part of our office building portfolio.
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 decreased
$0.2 million to a loss of $(0.1) million in the three
month period ended June 30, 2008. Equity income (loss)
decreased $1.2 million during the first six months of 2008
compared to 2007 due to $1.0 million of equity earnings
related to our investment in ALP Liquidating Trust recognized in
the first six months of 2007.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense
(benefit), including income tax on discontinued operations,
totaled $(11.9) million and $15.4 million for the
three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, and $5.9 million and $21.8 million for
the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. Our effective
25
Table of Contents
tax rates were 36% and 38% for the three month periods ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 35% and 33% for
the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Discontinued Operations. Income from
discontinued operations primarily consist of the results
associated with our sawmill and mulch plant (Sunshine State
Cypress) currently classified as assets held for sale and the
sales of our office building portfolio and Saussy Burbank.
Income (loss), net of tax, totaled $(0.1) million in the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, and
$26.0 million and $26.4 million in the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2007. The 2007 results relate
primarily to the sale of our office building portfolio. See
Residential Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate and Forestry
sections below for further detail on discontinued operations.
Segment
Results
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 late 2005
and challenging market conditions continued during the first six
months of 2008. Inventories of resale homes and home-sites
remain high in our markets. These high resale inventory levels
continued to negatively impact sales of our products. Further,
the recent highly publicized problems in the mortgage lending
industry have created additional negative pressure on demand and
consumer confidence in housing. At this time, there is little
visibility for when the market for residential real estate will
improve.
Homes and home-sites substantially completed and ready for sale
are measured at lower of carrying value or fair value less costs
to sell. 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. As a result of our impairment analyses for the
first six months of 2008, we recorded aggregate impairment
charges of $2.4 million primarily related to completed
homes in several communities. In addition, we recorded an
impairment charge of $0.8 million related to the write down
of a renegotiated builder note receivable during the second
quarter of 2008.

Also included in real estate sales and cost of sales are land
sales of $0.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2007.
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 primary communities were RiverTown and 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, second
quarter 2008 home closings were comparable with second quarter
2007, while revenues and gross profit decreased due to the mix
and location of products sold. Home-site revenues and gross
profit decreased as compared to the same period in 2007 due to
fewer home-site closings in 2008.
In our Northwest Florida primary communities, there were no home
or home-site closings for the second quarter 2008 due to adverse
market conditions. In the second quarter 2007 a majority of the
home-site closings were bulk sales to national homebuilders.
In our Central Florida communities, home closings, revenues and
gross profit decreased in the second quarter 2008 as compared to
the second quarter 2007 due to adverse market conditions. There
was one home-site closing in the second quarter of 2008 compared
to none for the same period in 2007.
Other revenues included revenues from the WaterColor Inn and
WaterColor vacation rental program, other resort, golf club and
marina operations, management fees and brokerage activities.
Other revenues were $14.1 million in the second quarter of
2008 with $13.8 million in related costs, compared to
revenues totaling
28
Table of Contents
$13.5 million in the second quarter of 2007 with
$12.0 million in related costs. The increases in other
revenues and related costs were due to the addition of the
operating results for the Sharks Tooth Golf Course, which
was purchased in the third quarter of 2007, and due to
management fees incurred for third party managers operating our
resorts and clubs. We had historically recorded revenue and
costs from our marina operations in rental revenue and cost of
rental revenue. Effective June 30, 2008, we recorded
revenue and costs from our marina operations in other revenue
and other cost of revenue. We reclassified $1.0 million and
$0.8 million in revenue during the second quarter 2008 and
2007, respectively, and $0.7 million and $0.9 million
in costs during the second quarter 2008 and 2007, respectively.
These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported
net income.
Other operating expenses included salaries and benefits,
marketing, project administration, support personnel and other
administrative expenses. Other operating expenses were
$10.9 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to
$13.1 million in the second quarter 2007. The net decrease
in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in payroll
related costs.
We recorded a restructuring charge in our residential real
estate segment of $0.5 million in the second quarter of
2008 in connection with our recent headcount reduction compared
to a credit of costs of ($0.2) million in 2007.

In our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities, for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 home closings were
comparable with the same period in 2007, while revenues and
gross profit decreased primarily due to the mix and location of
product sold and the sale in 2007 of a single family home in
WaterSound Beach totaling $3.4 million. Home-site revenues
and gross profit decreased as compared to the same period in
2007 due to fewer home-site closings in 2008.
In our Northwest Florida primary communities, there were no home
or home-site closings for the six months ended June 30,
2008 due to adverse market conditions. In the six months ended
June 30, 2007 a majority of the home-site closings were
bulk sales to national homebuilders.
In our Central Florida communities, home closings decreased in
the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same
period in 2007 primarily due to a bulk sale of our multi-family
product in 2007. The decrease in revenue and gross profit in
2008 as compared to 2007 was primarily due to adverse market

Other revenues were $21.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 with $24.0 million in related costs,
compared to revenues totaling $20.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 with $20.3 million in
related costs. The increases in other revenues and related costs
were due to the addition of the operating results for the
Sharks Tooth Golf Course, which was purchased in the third
quarter of 2007, and due to management fees incurred for third
party managers operating our resorts and clubs. Historically we
recorded revenue and costs from our marina operations in rental
revenue and cost of rental revenue. Effective June 30,
2008, we recorded revenue and costs from our marina operations
in other revenue and other cost of revenue. We reclassified
$1.3 million and $1.0 million in revenue during the
six months 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $1.3 million in
costs during the six months 2008 and 2007. These
reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net
income.
Other operating expenses included salaries and benefits,
marketing, project administration, support personnel and other
administrative expenses. Other operating expenses were
$23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
compared to $24.6 million in the same period in 2007. The
net decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a
$7.1 million decrease in payroll related costs offset by
costs related to our real estate projects that were expensed in
2008 instead of capitalized, as well as $1.0 million in
increased real estate taxes in 2008.
We recorded a restructuring charge in our residential real
estate segment of $0.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 in connection with our recent headcount
reduction compared to $1.1 million in 2007.
Discontinued
Operations
On May 3, 2007, we sold our mid-Atlantic homebuilding
operations, primarily operating under the name Saussy Burbank.
The results of Saussy Burbank have been reported as discontinued
operations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
Included in June 30, 2007 income from discontinued
operations is a $2.2 million impairment charge to
approximate fair value, less costs to sell, of the sale of
Saussy Burbank.
The table below sets forth the operating results of our
discontinued operations of Suassy Burbank for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007.

have continuing involvement.
Discontinued
Operations
During the year ended December 31, 2007, we disposed of the
17 buildings within our office building portfolio, 14 of which
are reflected as discontinued operations in the consolidated
statements of income for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007. On April 30, 2007, we entered
into a Purchase and Sale Agreement for the sale of our office
building portfolio. On June 20, 2007, we closed on the sale
of 15 of the 17 buildings 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 we 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
have been included in continuing operations due to our
continuing involvement as a lessee. We expect to incur
continuing cash outflows related to these three properties over
the next four years. The sales of the remaining two office
buildings closed on August 7, 2007 for a sale price and
pre-tax gain of $56.0 million and $6.5 million,
respectively, and September 19, 2007, for a sale price and
pre-tax gain of $44.0 million and $3.7 million,
respectively. The following amounts related to our dispositions

Land Sales
Our rural land sales segment markets and sells tracts of land of
varying sizes for rural recreational, conservation and
timberland uses. The rural 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.

In October 2007, we announced that we were marketing for sale
non-strategic rural land that currently fits our criteria for
harvesting value. During the six months ended June 30,
2008, we closed the following significant sales:
| 23,743 acres in Liberty County for $36.3 million, or an average of $1,530 per acre. | |
| 2,784 acres in Taylor County for $12.5 million, or $4,500 per acre. |
| 29,742 acres primarily within Liberty and Wakulla counties for $39.5 million, or an average of $1,330 per acre. |
| 29,343 acres primarily within Leon County, Florida and Stewart County, Georgia, for $38.4 million, or an average of $1,308 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. 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 vary from one period to another.
In July 2008, we executed a contract for the sale of
67,364 acres of non-strategic rural land in Liberty,
Jefferson, Gulf and Franklin Counties. The sale will be closed
in two transactions for a total price of approximately
$130.4 million. The first sale of 39,359 acres for
$67.3 million is scheduled to be completed in the fourth
quarter of 2008. The second sale for 28,005 acres is
scheduled for the second quarter of 2009 at a price of
$63.1 million. These transactions are subject to ongoing
due diligence review and customary closing conditions. We do not
anticipate any additional large tract sales during the remainder
of 2008.

Forestry
Our forestry segment focuses on the management and harvesting of
our extensive timber holdings. We grow, harvest and sell timber
and wood fiber. We also own and operate a sawmill and mulch
plant, Sunshine State Cypress, which converts logs into wood
products and mulch. However, on October 8, 2007 we
announced our intent to sell Sunshine State Cypress.

Three
Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Total revenues for the forestry segment decreased
$0.3 million, or 4%, compared to 2007. We have a wood fiber
supply agreement with Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation which
expires on June 30, 2012. Sales under this agreement were
$3.1 million (171,000 tons) in 2008 and $3.5 million
(198,000 tons) in 2007. Sales to other customers totaled
$3.3 million (179,000 tons) in 2008 as compared to
$3.2 million (185,000 tons) in 2007. The decrease in
revenue was primarily due to decreased volume levels.
Cost of sales for the forestry segment decreased
$0.5 million in 2008 compared to 2007. Gross margins as a
percentage of revenue were 23% in 2008 and 19% in 2007. The
increase in margin was primarily due to additional sales to
Smurfit Stone Container Corporation outside of our fiber
agreement pricing arrangement, which were at a higher rate per
ton.
Six
Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Total revenues for the forestry segment increased
$2.5 million, or 22%, compared to 2007. Sales under the
wood fiber supply agreement with Smurfit-Stone Container
Corporation were $6.5 million (355,000 tons) in 2008 and
$6.6 million (366,000 tons) in 2007. Sales to other
customers totaled $7.5 million (392,000 tons) in 2008 as
compared to $4.9 million (280,000 tons) in 2007. The
increase in revenue was primarily due to increased sales to our
outside customers, which was a result of an accelerated harvest
plan in connection with the large tract land sales in the first
six months of 2008.
Cost of sales for the forestry segment remained constant at
$9.8 million in 2008 compared to 2007. Gross margins as a
percentage of revenue were 30% in 2008 and 15% in 2007. The
increase in margin was primarily due to higher margin product
sales to outside customers, for which we did not incur any cut
and haul costs.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We generated cash in the first six months of 2008 from:
| Sales of land holdings and other assets; | |
| Operations; | |
| Borrowings from financial institutions; and | |
| Issuances of equity from the sale of stock and exercise of employee stock options. |
We used cash in the first six months of 2008 for:
| Operations; | |
| Real estate development and construction; | |
| Repayments of debt; and | |
| Payments of taxes |
We invest our excess cash primarily in money market mutual funds
and overnight deposits, all of which are highly liquid, with the
intent to make such funds readily available for operating and
strategic long term investment purposes.
We believe that our 2007 and 2008 restructuring plans will allow
us to increase our financial flexibility over time by
significantly reducing capital expenditures, decreasing selling,
general and administrative expenses, divesting non-core assets,
lowering debt and eliminating our current dividend. Management
believes we have adequate resources to fund ongoing operating
requirements and future capital expenditures related to our
planned level of investment in real estate developments.
Cash
Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operations was $26.5 million and
$120.2 million in the first six months of 2008 and 2007,
respectively. During such periods, expenditures relating to our
residential real estate segment were $28.5 million and
$126.2 million, respectively. Expenditures for operating
properties of commercial land development and residential club
and resort property development in the first six months of 2008
and 2007 totaled $1.8 million and $1.7 million,
respectively.
Our current income tax receivable (payable) was
$36.1 million at June 30, 2008 and $(8.1) million
at December 31, 2007, respectively. Our net deferred income
tax liability was $116.8 million and $83.5 million at
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The
change in our tax accounts was primarily the result of
36
Table of Contents
deferred tax gains related to installment sales of our rural
land. We paid $86.0 million in the first quarter of 2007
related to the settlement of an IRS audit for the years 2000
through 2004.
During the first six months of 2008, we sold a total of
79,031 acres of timberland in three separate transactions
in exchange for
15-year
installment notes receivable in the aggregate amount of
$108.4 million, which installment notes are fully backed by
irrevocable letters of credit issued by a third party financial
institution. In April 2008, $30.5 million related to
$70.0 million of the installment notes were monetized for
$27.4 million in cash.
Cash
Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was
$(0.7) million and $287.6 million in the first six
months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. The cash provided by
investing activities in 2007 was primarily attributable to the
sale of our office building portfolio. Historically, we had made
significant investments in our office building portfolio,
however, 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
$47.1 million and $(184.2) million in the first six
months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. The cash provided by
financing activities in 2008 was primarily attributable to the
sale of 17,145,000 shares of our common stock at a price of
$35.00 per share which was completed during the first quarter.
We received net proceeds of $580 million in connection with
the public offering. The proceeds were primarily used to pay
down our debt as described below.
Our $500 million senior revolving credit facility, which
expires in July 2009 (with the ability to extend to July 2010),
bears interest based on leverage levels at LIBOR plus an
applicable margin in the range of 0.4% to 1.0%. In connection
with the common stock offering on March 3, 2008 we paid
down the entire outstanding balance (approximately
$160 million) of the credit facility. Although it had no
outstanding balance at June 30, 2008, the revolving credit
facility has not been terminated and remains in place as a
source of liquidity for us. We are currently negotiating a new
line of credit with a lesser principal amount.
In July 2006, we entered into a $100 million term loan to
finance the repayment of $100 million of senior notes. The
term loan was paid in full during 2008 with proceeds from our
common stock offering.
Senior notes with an outstanding principal amount of
$240.0 million were prepaid in full on April 4, 2008
together with a make-whole amount of approximately
$29.7 million. In addition, we recorded a non-cash expense
of approximately $0.2 million attributable to the write-off
of unamortized loan costs, net of accrued interest, associated
with the senior notes. As a result, we recognized a charge of
$29.9 million during the second quarter related to the
early extinguishment of debt.
We have also 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 debt of $15.4 million and
$35.7 million related to CDD bonds as of June 30, 2008
and December 31, 2007, respectively. We retired
approximately $30.0 million of CDD debt with the proceeds
of our common stock offering during the first six months of 2008.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
During the first six months of 2008, we sold a total of
79,031 acres of timberland in three separate transactions
in exchange for
15-year
installment notes receivable in the aggregate amount of
$108.4 million, which installment notes are fully backed by
irrevocable letters of credit issued by a third party financial
institution. In April 2008, we contributed $30.5 million of
the installment notes to a bankruptcy- remote qualified special
purpose entity (QSPE) established in accordance with
SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. The
QSPEs financial position and results are not consolidated
in our financial statements.
37
Table of Contents
In April 2008, the QSPE monetized the $30.5 million
installment notes by issuing debt securities to third party
investors equal to approximately 90% of the value of the
installment notes and distributed approximately
$27.4 million in gross proceeds to us. The debt securities
are payable solely out of the assets of the QSPE and proceeds
from the letters of credit. The investors in the QSPE have no
recourse against us for payment of the debt securities. We have
recorded a retained interest with respect to all QSPEs of
$6.6 million for all installment notes monetized through
June 30, 2008, which value is an estimate based on the
present value of future cash flows to be received over the life
of the installment notes, using managements best estimate
of underlying assumptions, including credit risk and interest
rates. We deferred approximately $97.1 million of gain for
income tax purposes through this QSPE/installment sale structure
during the six month period ended June 30, 2008.
Contractual
Obligations and Commercial Commitments
We had debt obligations of $54.2 million and
$541.2 million outstanding at June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, respectively. The decrease in
outstanding debt obligations is primarily related to the pay
down of debt related to our senior notes, term loan and credit
facility.

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk related
to our long term debt. As of June 30, 2008, we had no
amounts drawn under our credit facility, which matures on
July 21, 2009. Any debt outstanding under this credit
facility accrues interest at 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. In addition, we
had a $100.0 million term loan outstanding during part of
the first quarter 2008, which accrued interest based on LIBOR.
These loans potentially subjected 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, 2008, the effect on net income over the same
time period with respect to interest expense on the credit
facility and term loan would have been a respective decrease or
increase in the amount of $0.4 million pre-tax
($0.3 million net of tax).
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, 2008, there were no changes in our internal
controls that have materially effected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal controls over financial
reporting.
