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. Most of its real
estate and timber operations are within the State of Florida.
Basis
of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on
Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements are not included herein. The consolidated
interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2008 balance
sheet amounts have been derived from the Companys
December 31, 2008 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, 2008. The Company adheres
to the same accounting policies in preparation of its interim
financial statements. As permitted under generally accepted
accounting principles, interim accounting for certain expenses,
including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions. For
interim financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded
based upon estimated annual effective income tax rates.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the current periods presentation.
Adoption
of New Accounting Standards
In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 165, Subsequent Events
(SFAS 165). SFAS 165 establishes
general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events
that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial
statements are issued or are available to be issued.
SFAS 165 is effective for financial statements issued for
interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, and must be
applied prospectively. SFAS 165 was adopted by the Company
as required on June 30, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165
did not have a material impact on the Companys results of
operations or financial position.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
(FSP)
SFAS 115-2
and
SFAS 124-2
Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary
Impairments
(SFAS 115-2 / 124-2).
SFAS 115-2 / 124-2
changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment
is other than temporary to debt securities, replaces the
existing requirement that the entitys management assert it
has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security
until recovery with a requirement that management assert:
(a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and
(b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the
security before recovery of its cost basis. This FSP also
requires that an entity recognize noncredit losses on
held-to-maturity
debt securities in other comprehensive income and amortize that
amount over the remaining life of the security in a prospective
manner by offsetting the recorded value of the asset unless the
security is subsequently sold or there are additional credit
losses.
SFAS 115-2 / 124-2
is effective for interim and annual periods ending after
June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods
ending after March 15, 2009. An entity may adopt early this
FSP only if it also elects to adopt early
SFAS 157-4.
SFAS 115-2 / 124-2
was adopted by the Company as required on June 30, 2009.
The adoption of this FSP did not have a material impact on the
Companys results of operations or financial position.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP
SFAS 107-1
and APB
28-1,
Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
(SFAS 107-1).
SFAS 107-1
amends SFAS 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments, to require an entity to provide
disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim
financial information. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28,
Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in
summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.
Under this FSP, a publicly traded company must include
disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments
whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim
reporting periods. In addition, an entity must disclose in the
body or in the accompanying notes of its summarized financial
information for interim reporting periods and in its financial
statements for annual reporting periods the fair value of all
financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the
statement of financial position, as required by SFAS 107.
SFAS 107-1
is effective for interim periods ending after June 15,
2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after
March 15, 2009. However, an entity may adopt early these
interim fair value disclosure requirements only if it also
elects to adopt early
SFAS 157-4
and
SFAS 115-2 / 124-2.
SFAS 107-1
was adopted by the Company as required on June 30, 2009.
The adoption of this FSP did not have a material impact on the
Companys results of operations or financial position.
New
Accounting Standards
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The
FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(SFAS 168). SFAS 168 establishes the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification
(Codification) to become the source of authoritative
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be
applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive
releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are
also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC
registrants. SFAS 168 and the Codification are effective
for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods
ending after September 15, 2009. When effective, the
Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and
reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered, non-SEC
accounting literature not included in the Codification will
become nonauthoritative. Following SFAS 168, the FASB will
not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff
Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, the
FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve
only to: (a) update the Codification; (b) provide
background information about the guidance; and (c) provide
the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification.
The content of the Codification will carry the same level of
authority when effective. The U.S. GAAP hierarchy will be
modified to include only two levels of U.S. GAAP,
authoritative and nonauthoritative. In the FASBs view, the
Codification will not change U.S. GAAP. The Company does
not believe the adoption of SFAS 168 will have a material
impact on its financial position or results of operations. It
will, however, change the references to specific U.S. GAAP
contained within the consolidated financial statements, notes
thereto and information contained in the Companys filings
with the SEC.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166,
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets An
Amendment of SFAS 140 (SFAS 166).
SFAS 166 amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 140).
SFAS 166 removes the concept of a qualifying
special-purpose entity from SFAS 140 and removes the
exception from applying FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised
December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,
to qualifying special-purpose entities (QSPEs).
SFAS 166 clarifies that the objective of paragraph 9
of SFAS 140 is to determine whether a transferor and all of
the entities included in the transferors financial
statements being presented have surrendered control over
transferred financial assets. That determination must consider
the transferors continuing involvement in the transferred
financial asset, including all arrangements or agreements made
contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, the transfer,
even if they were not entered into at the time of the transfer.
SFAS 166 modifies the financial-components approach used in
SFAS 140 and limits the circumstances in which a financial
asset, or portion of a financial asset, should be derecognized
when the transferor has not transferred the entire original
financial asset to an entity that is not consolidated with the
transferor in the financial statements being presented
and/or when
the transferor has continuing involvement with the transferred
financial asset. SFAS 166 defines the term participating
interest to establish specific conditions for reporting a
transfer of a portion of a financial asset as

a sale. If the transfer does not meet those conditions, a
transferor should account for the transfer as a sale only if it
transfers an entire financial asset or a group of entire
financial assets and surrenders control over the entire
transferred asset(s) in accordance with the conditions in
paragraph 9 of SFAS 140, as amended by this
SFAS 166. The special provisions in SFAS 140 and FASB
Statement No. 65, Accounting for Certain Mortgage
Banking Activities, for guaranteed mortgage securitizations
are removed to require those securitizations to be treated the
same as any other transfer of financial assets within the scope
of SFAS 140, as amended by SFAS 166. If such a
transfer does not meet the requirements for sale accounting, the
securitized mortgage loans should continue to be classified as
loans in the transferors statement of financial position.
SFAS 166 requires that a transferor recognize and initially
measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a
transferors beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred
as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a
sale. Enhanced disclosures are required to provide financial
statement users with greater transparency about transfers of
financial assets and a transferors continuing involvement
with transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The
Company is in the process of evaluating the effect, if any, the
adoption of SFAS 166 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167,
Amendment to Interpretation 46(R)
(SFAS 167). SFAS 167 amends
Interpretation 46(R) to replace the quantitative-based risks and
rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any,
has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest
entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise
has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest
entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic
performance and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the
entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the
entity. An approach that is expected to be primarily qualitative
will be more effective for identifying which enterprise has a
controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity.
SFAS 167 requires an additional reconsideration event when
determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when
any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that the
holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the
power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments
to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly
impact the entitys economic performance. It also requires
ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity. These requirements
will provide more relevant and timely information to users of
financial statements. SFAS 167 amends Interpretation 46(R)
to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of
financial statements with more transparent information about an
enterprises involvement in a variable interest entity. The
enhanced disclosures are required for any enterprise that holds
a variable interest in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2009. The Company holds a retained interest in bankruptcy remote
QSPEs established in accordance with SFAS 140. The QSPEs
financial position and results are currently not consolidated in
the Companys financial statements, but may be required to
be consolidated in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS 167. The Company is in the process of evaluating the
effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on its
financial statements.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP
SFAS No. 132(R)-1, Employers Disclosures
about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. This FSP amends
FASB Statement No. 132, Employers Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, to require
the disclosure of more information about investment allocation
decisions, major categories of plan assets, including
concentrations of risk and fair value measurements, and the fair
value techniques and inputs used to measure plan assets. The
disclosures about plan assets required by this FSP shall be
provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect, if any,
the adoption of this FSP will have on its financial statement
disclosures.
2. | Stock-Based Compensation and Earnings Per Share |
Stock-Based
Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with
the provisions of FASB SFAS No. 123
revised 2004, Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R). Under 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 on or after the
effective date and existing grants that 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. 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 issues new common stock.

related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements.
This cost includes $0.5 million related to stock option
grants and $7.1 million of non-vested restricted stock
which will be recognized over a weighted average period of three
years.
Market
Condition Grants
In February 2009 and 2008, under its 2001 Stock Incentive Plan,
the Company granted to select executives and other key employees
non-vested restricted stock whose vesting is based upon the
achievement of certain market conditions which are defined as
the Companys total shareholder return as compared to the
total shareholder return of certain peer groups during 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
(Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net
income (loss) by the average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated
by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the period, including all
potentially dilutive shares issuable under outstanding stock
options and service-based non-vested restricted stock. Stock
options and non-vested restricted stock are not considered in
any diluted earnings per share calculation when the Company has
a loss from continuing operations. Non-vested restricted shares
subject to vesting based on the achievement of market conditions
are treated as contingently issuable shares and are considered
outstanding only upon the satisfaction of the market conditions.
The following table presents a reconciliation of average shares
outstanding:

The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful
notes receivable at each reporting date. Notes receivable
balances are adjusted to net realizable value based upon a
review of entity specific facts or when terms are modified.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company determined the
Advantis note receivable was uncollectible and accordingly
recorded a charge of $7.4 million related to the write-off
of the outstanding balance. In addition, the Company received a
deed in lieu of foreclosure related to a $4.0 million
builder note receivable during the second quarter of 2009 and
renegotiated terms related to certain other builder notes
receivable during the second quarters of 2009 and 2008. These
events resulted in impairment charges of $0.4 million and
$1.7 million during the three and six month periods ending
June 30, 2009, respectively, and $0.8 million during
the second quarter of 2008.
On July 1, 2009, the Company notified Saussy Burbank of its
failure to timely make its principal and interest payments and
demanded payment within 10 days in accordance with the
terms of the notes. The payments were subsequently made within
the 10-day

5. | Fair Value Measurements |
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. During the first quarter 2009, the
Company adopted SFAS 157 with regards to non-financial
assets and liabilities in accordance with FSP
No. 157-2.
SFAS No. 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. The adoption of
SFAS 157-2,
as it relates to non-financial assets and liabilities, did not
have a material impact on the Companys results of
operations or financial position. SFAS No. 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 No. 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, such as internally-developed valuation models which
require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as
follows:

The Company has recorded a retained interest with respect to the
monetization of certain installment notes through the use of
QSPEs, which is recorded in other assets. The retained interest
is an estimate based on the present value of cash flows to be
received over the life of the installment notes. The
Companys continuing involvement with the QSPEs is in the
form of receipts of net interest payments, which are recorded as
interest income and approximated $0.1 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2009. In addition, the Company
will receive the payment of the remaining principal on the
installment notes at the end of their 15 year maturity
period. The Company recorded a loss of $1.9 million during
the second quarter of 2008 related to the monetization of
$30.5 million of notes receivable through a QSPE.
In accordance with EITF Issue
99-20,
Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased
and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securities and Financial
Assets, the Company recognizes interest income over the life
of the retained interest using the effective yield method. This
income adjustment is being recorded as an offset to loss on
monetization of notes over the life of the installment notes. In
addition, fair value may be adjusted at each reporting date
when, based on managements assessment of current
information and events, there is a favorable or adverse change
in estimated cash flows from cash flows previously projected.
The Company did not record any impairment adjustments as a
result of changes in previously projected cash flows during the
second quarter 2009.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Homes and
homesites substantially completed and ready for sale are
measured at lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to
sell. The fair value of homes and homesites is determined based
upon final sales prices of inventory sold during the period
(level 2 inputs). For inventory held for sale, estimates of
selling prices based on current market data are utilized
(level 3 inputs). For projects under development, an
estimate of future cash flows on an undiscounted basis is
performed using estimated future expenditures necessary to
maintain and complete the existing project and using
managements best estimates about future sales prices and
holding periods (level 3 inputs).
The Companys assets measured at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis are those assets for which the Company has
recorded valuation adjustments and write-offs during the current
period. The assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring
basis are as follows:

Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, long-lived assets sold or held for sale with a
carrying amount of $39.0 million were written down to their
fair value of $26.9 million, resulting in a loss of
$12.1 million, which was included in impairment losses for
the three months ending June 30, 2009. The Company recorded
impairment charges of $0.2 million during the three months

On February 27, 2009, the Company sold its remaining
inventory and equipment assets related to its Sunshine State
Cypress mill and mulch plant for a sale price of
$1.6 million. The sale agreement also included a long term
lease of a building facility. The Company received proceeds of
$1.3 million and a note receivable of $0.3 million in
connection with the sale. Assets and liabilities classified as
held for sale at December 31, 2008 which were
not subsequently sold have been reclassified as held for use in
the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2009. In
addition, the operating results associated with assets not sold,
primarily depreciation on a building, have been recorded within
continuing operations during the first quarter of 2009. These
reclassifications did not have a material impact on the
Companys financial position or operating results.
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. During 2007, the
Company recorded a deferred gain of $3.3 million on a
sale-leaseback arrangement with three of the properties. The
amortization of gain associated with these three properties has
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 three years.

$5 million and the issuance of letters of credit of up to
$30 million. The Company has not drawn any funds on the
credit facility as of June 30, 2009. The proceeds of any
future borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for
general corporate purposes. Certain subsidiaries of the Company
have agreed to guarantee any amounts owed under the Credit
Agreement.
The interest rate for each borrowing under the Credit Agreement
is based on either (1) an adjusted LIBOR rate plus the
applicable interest margin (ranging from 0.75% to 1.75%), or
(2) the higher of (a) the prime rate or (b) the
federal funds rate plus 0.5%. The Credit Agreement also requires
the payment of quarterly fees ranging from 0.125% to 0.35% based
on the Debt to Total Asset Value ratio during the applicable
period. The applicable interest rate and quarterly fee as of
June 30, 2009 was 1.06% and 0.125%, respectively.
The Credit Agreement contains covenants relating to leverage,
unencumbered asset value, net worth, liquidity and additional
debt. The Credit Agreement does not contain a fixed charge
coverage covenant. The Credit Agreement also contains various
restrictive covenants pertaining to acquisitions, investments,
capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, asset
dispositions and liens. The following includes a summary of the
Companys more significant financial covenants at
June 30, 2009:

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. If
any event of default occurs, lenders holding two-thirds of the
commitments may terminate the Companys right to borrow and
accelerate amounts due under the Credit Agreement. In the event
of bankruptcy, all amounts outstanding would automatically
become due and payable and the commitments would automatically
terminate.

On June 18, 2009, the Company, as plan sponsor of The St.
Joe Company Pension Plan (the Pension Plan), signed
a commitment for the Pension Plan to purchase a group annuity
contract from Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company for
the benefit of the retired participants and certain other former
employee participants in the Pension Plan. Current employees and
former employees with cash balances in the Pension Plan are not
affected by the transaction. The purchase price of the group
annuity contract was approximately $101 million, which was
funded from the assets of the Pension Plan on June 25,
2009. The transaction resulted in the transfer and settlement of
pension benefit obligations of approximately $93 million.
In addition, the Company recorded a non-cash settlement pre-tax
charge to earnings during the second quarter of 2009 of
$44.7 million. The Company also recorded a pre-tax credit
in the amount of $44.7 million in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income on its Consolidated Balance Sheet
offsetting the non-cash charge to earnings.
A reconciliation of funded status is as follows:

As a result of this transaction, the Company was able to
significantly increase the funded status ratio at June 30,
2009 thereby reducing the potential for future funding
requirements.
10. | 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,
on January 1, 2007. The Company had approximately
$1.4 million of total unrecognized tax benefits as of
June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, none of which, if
recognized, would materially affect the effective income tax
rate. The Company recognizes interest
and/or
penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
The Company had accrued interest of $0.4 million and
$0.3 million (net of tax benefit) at June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively, related to uncertain tax
16

positions. There were no significant changes to unrecognized tax
benefits including interest and penalties during the second
quarter of 2009, and the Company does not expect any significant
changes to its unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve
months.
11. | 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 homesites and
now, to a lesser extent, homes, due to the Companys exit
from homebuilding. The commercial real estate segment sells
developed and undeveloped land. The rural land sales segment
sells parcels of land included in the Companys 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
noncontrolling interest for purposes of making decisions about
allocating resources to each segment and assessing each
segments performance, which the Company believes
represents current performance measures.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
described above in the summary of significant accounting
policies herein and in our
Form 10-K.
Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as
reported in the Companys consolidated statements of
operations. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The caption entitled Other consists of general and
administrative expenses, net of investment income.

discontinued operations, follows:

12. | 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. When appropriate, the Company
establishes estimated accruals for litigation matters which meet
the requirements of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies. Although in the opinion of management none of
our litigation matters is expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Companys consolidated financial position,
results of operations or liquidity, it is possible that the
actual amounts of liabilities resulting from such matters could
be material.
The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with
respect to losses for third party liability, workers
compensation, property damage and other types of insurance.
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company
was party to surety bonds of $42.3 million and
$51.3 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit
in the amount of $2.8 million which may potentially result
in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the
Company are not met.
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. In the first quarter of
2009, the Company conveyed the remaining deferred parcels to
various entities, resulting in the release to the Company of the
remaining escrow balance of approximately $5.3 million,
which included accumulated interest. The release of escrow funds
did not have any effect on the Companys earnings.
The Companys former paper mill site in Gulf County and
certain adjacent property are subject to various Consent
Agreements, Brownfield Site Rehabilitation Agreements and
voluntary agreements with the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection. The paper mill site has been
rehabilitated by Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation in
accordance with these agreements. The Company is in the process
of assessing and rehabilitating certain adjacent properties.
Management is unable to quantify the rehabilitation costs at
this time.
18
Table of Contents
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
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.
Aggregate environmental-related accruals were $1.7 million
at June 30, 2009 and $1.8 million at
December 31, 2008.
13. | Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a
concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents,
notes receivable and retained interests. The Company deposits
and invests excess cash with major financial institutions in the
United States. Balances may exceed the amount of insurance
provided on such deposits.
The majority of notes receivable is from homebuilders and other
entities associated with the real estate industry. As with many
entities in the real estate industry, revenues have contracted
for these companies, and they may be increasingly dependent on
their lenders continued willingness to provide funding to
maintain ongoing liquidity. The Company evaluates the need for
an allowance for doubtful notes receivable at each reporting
date. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company determined
that the Advantis note receivable with a balance of
$7.4 million was not collectible. In addition, on
July 1, 2009, the Company notified Saussy Burbank of its
failure to timely make its principal and interest payments and
demanded payment within 10 days in accordance with the
terms of the notes. The payments were subsequently made within
the 10-day
period.
There are not any other entity specific facts which currently
cause the Company to believe that such notes receivable will be
realized at amounts below their carrying values; however, due to
the collapse of real estate markets and tightened credit
conditions, the collectability of these receivables represents a
significant risk to the Company and changes in the likelihood of
collectability could adversely impact the accompanying financial
statements.
In the event of a failure and liquidation of the financial
institution involved in our installment sales, the Company could
be required to write-off the remaining retained interest
recorded on its balance sheet in connection with the installment
sale monetization transactions, which would have an adverse
effect on the Companys results of operations.
The Companys real estate investments are concentrated in
the State of Florida. Uncertainty of the duration of the
prolonged real estate and economic slump could have an adverse
impact on the Companys real estate values.
14. | Subsequent Events |
The Company has evaluated events occurring subsequent to the
reporting date June 30, 2009 through the financial
statement issue date of August 4, 2009. No events have
occurred through the financial statement issue date which would
have a material impact on the Companys financial
statements.

Overview
The majority of our land is located in Northwest Florida and has
a very low cost basis. In order to optimize the value of these
core real estate assets, we seek to reposition portions of our
substantial timberland holdings for higher and better uses. We
seek to create value in our land by securing entitlements for
higher and better land-uses, facilitating infrastructure
improvements, developing community amenities, undertaking
strategic and expert land
21
Table of Contents
planning and development, parceling our land holdings in
creative ways, performing land restoration and enhancement and
promoting economic development.
We have four operating segments: residential real estate,
commercial real estate, rural land sales and forestry.
Our residential real estate segment generates revenues from:
| the sale of developed homesites to retail customers and builders; | |
| the sale of parcels of entitled, undeveloped land; | |
| the sale of housing units built by us; | |
| resort and club operations; | |
| rental income; and | |
| brokerage fees on certain transactions. |
Our commercial real estate segment generates revenues from the
sale of developed and undeveloped land for retail, multi-family,
office 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 and conservation land management services.
Our business continues to be negatively affected by the
continuing economic recession and adverse real estate
conditions. We have, however, a large inventory of rural land,
virtually no debt and significant cash reserves. We have also
greatly reduced our capital expenditures and general and
administrative expenses. As a result, we believe that we are
well positioned to withstand the current challenging
environment. Meanwhile, we continue to develop strategic
relationships which we believe will benefit our business when
the economy and our markets recover.
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, 2008. Except for the
required adoption of certain accounting pronouncements described
elsewhere herein, there have been no significant changes in
these policies during the first six months of 2009.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
See Note 1 to our unaudited consolidated financial
statements included in this report for recently issued

Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008 reported in discontinued operations primarily relate to
our former Sunshine State Cypress mill and mulch plant operation.
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
homesites and housing units and parcels of developed and
undeveloped land. Timber sales are generated from the forestry
segment. Other revenues are primarily resort and club operations
from the residential real estate segment.

The decrease in real estate sales revenues and cost of real
estate sales for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily due to
decreased sales in our rural land sales segment. Although we
expect to continue to rely on rural land sales as a source of
revenue during the current economic downturn, our 2009 sales
activity is planned to be significantly less than 2008.
Approximately $8.4 million, or 21%, of our second quarter
2009 revenues were generated by rural land sales compared to
$39.0 million, or 58%, in 2008. Additionally, our gross
margin percentage on real estate sales decreased to 43% from 56%
during the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to
2008 primarily as a result of the decrease in high margin rural
land sales relative to our sales mix. Cost of other revenues
decreased due to reduced staffing levels and increased operating
efficiencies at our clubs and resorts. Other operating expenses
decreased due to lower general and administrative expenses as a
result of our restructuring efforts.
Approximately $12.6 million, or 20%, of our year to date
2009 revenues were generated by rural land sales compared to
$130.1 million, or 71%, in 2008. Additionally, our gross
margin percentage on real estate sales decreased to 45% from 73%
during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 2008
primarily as a result of the decrease in high margin rural land
sales relative to our sales mix. Cost of other revenues
decreased due to reduced staffing levels and increased operating
efficiencies at our clubs and resorts. Other operating expenses
decreased due to lower general and administrative expenses as a
result of our restructuring efforts. For further detailed
discussion of revenues and expenses, see Segment Results below.
Corporate expense. Corporate expense,
representing corporate general and administrative expenses, was
$5.4 million and $9.4 million during the three months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and
$13.2 million and $18.0 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our overall
employee and administrative costs have decreased as a result of
reduced headcount, restructuring efforts and employee related
costs. Corporate expense also included $(0.8) million and
$(3.1) million of recurring pension income during the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We
expect pension income during the second half of 2009 to
approximate pension income during the first half of 2009.
Pension settlement charge. On June 18,
2009, as plan sponsor, we signed a commitment for the pension
plan to purchase a group annuity contract from Massachusetts
Mutual Life Insurance Company for the benefit of the retired
participants and certain other former employee participants in
our pension plan. Current employees and former employees with
cash balances in the pension plan are not affected by the
transaction. The purchase price of the annuity was approximately
$101 million, which was funded from the assets of the
pension plan on June 25,
24
Table of Contents
2009. The transaction resulted in the transfer and settlement of
pension benefit obligations of approximately $93 million.
In addition, we recorded a non-cash settlement charge to
earnings during the second quarter of 2009 of
$44.7 million. We also recorded a $44.7 million
pre-tax credit in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on our
Consolidated Balance Sheet offsetting the non-cash charge to
earnings. As a result of this transaction, we were able to
significantly increase the funded status ratio of the pension
plan at June 30, 2009, thereby reducing the potential for
future funding requirements.
Impairment Losses. We review our long-lived
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Homes and homesites substantially completed
and ready for sale are measured at the lower of carrying value
or fair value less costs to sell. For projects under
development, an estimate of future cash flows on an undiscounted
basis is performed using estimated future expenditures necessary
to maintain and complete the existing project and using
managements best estimates about future sales prices and
holding periods. During the second quarter of 2009 we recorded
impairment charges of $12.1 million in the residential real
estate segment related to completed unsold homes and homesites
and a write-down of our SevenShores condominium and marina
development project. During the second quarter of 2008 we
recorded impairment charges of $0.2 million related to completed
unsold homes. In addition, we recorded a $7.4 million
write-off of the Advantis note receivable and a
$0.4 million write-down of a builder note receivable during
the second quarter of 2009 and a $0.8 million write-down of
a builder note receivable during the second quarter of 2008.
During the first six months of 2009 we recorded impairment
charges of $12.4 million in the residential real estate
segment related to completed unsold homes and homesites and a
write-down of our SevenShores condominium and marina development
project. During the first six months of 2008 we recorded
impairment charges of $ 2.4 million related to
completed unsold homes. In addition, we recorded a
$7.4 million write-off of the Advantis note receivable and
a $1.7 million write-down of builder notes receivable
during the first six months of 2009 and a $0.8 million
write-down of a builder note receivable during 2008.
A continued decline in demand and market prices for our real
estate products may require us to record additional impairment
charges in the future. In addition, due to the ongoing
difficulties in the real estate markets and tightened credit
conditions, we may be required to write-down the carrying value
of our notes receivable and such notes may not ultimately be
collectible.
Restructuring charge. We recorded a
restructuring charge of less than $0.1 million and
$2.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively, and less than $0.1 million and
$3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively, related to one-time termination
benefits. Remaining restructuring charges relating to
restructuring actions taken in 2008 and prior years to be
expensed during the second half of 2009 are less than
$0.1 million at June 30, 2009.
Other income (expense). Other income (expense)
consists of investment income, interest expense, gains on sales
and dispositions of assets, litigation expense, fair value
adjustment of our retained interest in monetized installment
notes receivable, loss on early extinguishment of debt and other
income. Other income (expense) was $0.9 million and
$(29.7) million for the three months ended June 30,
2009 and 2008, respectively, and $2.0 million and
$(31.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively.
Investment income, net decreased $0.9 million and
$1.9 million during the three and six months ending
June 30, 2009 compared to 2008, respectively, primarily as
a result of lower investment returns on our cash balances.
Interest expense decreased $4.1 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 2008 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 increased $1.7 million during the second quarter
of 2009 primarily due to recording a loss of $1.9 million
related to the monetization of installment notes receivable
during the second quarter of 2008. Other, net increased
$1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009
compared to 2008 primarily due to recording a
25
Table of Contents
loss of $1.9 million related to the monetization of
installment notes receivable, offset by an increase of
$0.6 million in lease income.
Gain on disposition of assets was $0.2 million in the
second quarter of 2009 and 2008 and $0.4 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, representing the
amortization of deferred gain associated with the sale and
leaseback of three of the 15 buildings sold as part of our
office building portfolio in 2007.
Income tax (benefit) expense. Income tax
(benefit) expense, including income tax on discontinued
operations, totaled $(28.4) million and
$(11.9) million for the three months ended June 30,
2009 and 2008, respectively, and $(35.4) million and
$5.9 million for the six month periods ended June 30,
2009 and 2008, respectively. Our effective tax rate was (39)%
and (36)% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively, and (39)% and 35% for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Segment
Results
Residential
Real Estate
Our residential real estate segment develops large-scale,
mixed-use resort, primary and seasonal residential communities,
primarily on our existing land. We own large tracts of land in
Northwest Florida, including significant Gulf of Mexico beach
frontage and waterfront properties, and land near Jacksonville,
in Deland and near Tallahassee.
Our residential sales have declined precipitously from 2006 due
to the collapse of the housing markets in Florida. Inventories
of resale homes and homesites remain high in our markets and
prices continue to decline. With the U.S. and Florida
economies battling rising foreclosures, severely restrictive
credit, significant inventories of unsold homes and recessionary
economic conditions, predicting when real estate markets will
return to health remains difficult.
The table below sets forth the results of continuing operations
of our residential real estate segment for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Real estate sales include sales of homes and homesites. Cost of
real estate sales 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). Other revenues consist primarily
of resort and club operations and brokerage fees.

Real estate sales, home closings and homesite closings increased
for the second quarter 2009 as compared to the same period in
2008 as a result of reductions in pricing in an effort to
accelerate sales of existing inventory even though adverse
market conditions continued. Gross profit margin decreased
slightly for the second quarter 2009 compared to the second
quarter 2008 primarily due to a decrease in the average sales
price in the second quarter of 2009.

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 and
SouthWood. In Northeast Florida primary communities included
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,
revenues and the number of home and homesite closings increased
in the second quarter 2009 as compared to the second quarter
2008. Overall gross profit was $0.8 million for both the
second quarter of 2009 and of 2008. The average sales price of
closed homes decreased in the second quarter 2009 to $457,000
from $744,000 in the second quarter 2008. The average sales
price of homesites closed decreased in the second quarter 2009
to $156,000 from $266,000 for the same period in 2008 primarily
due to location and mix.
In our Northeast Florida communities revenues decreased in the
second quarter 2009, but homes closed and gross profit remained
the same as the second quarter 2008. We closed the final home in
our St. Johns Golf and Country Club community during the second
quarter of 2009.
Other revenues included revenues from the WaterColor Inn and
WaterColor vacation rental program, other resort, golf and club
operations, management fees and brokerage activities. Other
revenues were $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2009
with $11.7 million in related costs, compared to revenues
totaling $14.1 million in the second quarter of 2008 with
$13.8 million in related costs. Other revenues decreased
$1.3 million due to lower vacation rental occupancy and
lower Inn and vacation rental rates. Cost of other revenues
decreased $2.1 million as a result of reduced staffing
levels and more efficient operation of our resorts and clubs.
Other operating expenses included salaries and benefits,
marketing, project administration, support personnel and other
administrative expenses. Other operating expenses were
$9.7 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to
$10.9 million in the second quarter of 2008. The decrease
of $1.2 million in operating expenses was primarily due to
reductions in employee costs, marketing and homeowner
association funding costs and certain warranty and other project
costs. These decreases were partially offset by costs related to
overhead costs of our real estate projects that were expensed in
2009 instead of capitalized due to lack of development activity.
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 exit from the Florida homebuilding
business and a corporate reorganization.

Also included in real estate sales and gross profit are land
sales of $0.1 million during the period ending
June 30, 2008.
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 and
SouthWood. In Northeast Florida primary communities included
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 the
average sales price of a home decreased to $460,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 from $990,000 during the six
months ended June 30, 2008. The average sales price of a
homesite closed in the six months ended June 30, 2009 was
$160,000 as compared to $327,000 for the same period in 2008
primarily due to location and mix.
In our Central Florida communities, home closings increased, but
revenues decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2009 as
compared to the same period in 2008 primarily due to lower
average sales prices. Homesite revenue in the six months ended
June 30, 2009 relates to profit participation from previous
sales to a national homebuilder.
Other revenues included revenues from the WaterColor Inn and
WaterColor vacation rental program, other resort, golf and club
operations, management fees and brokerage activities. Other
revenues were $19.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 with $19.8 million in related costs,
compared to revenues totaling $21.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 with $24.0 million in
related costs. Other revenue decreased $2.3 million due to
lower vacation rental occupancy and lower Inn and vacation
rental rates. Cost of other revenue decreased $4.2 million
as a result of reduced staffing levels and more efficient
operation of our resorts and clubs.

Other operating expenses included salaries and benefits,
marketing, project administration, support personnel and other
administrative expenses. Other operating expenses were
$18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009
compared to $23.1 million in the same period in 2008. The
decrease of $4.8 million in operating expenses was
primarily due to reductions in employee costs, marketing and
homeowners association funding costs and certain warranty and
other project costs. These decreases were partially offset by
costs related to overhead costs of our real estate projects that
were expensed in 2009 instead of capitalized due to lack of
active development activity.
We recorded a restructuring charge in our residential real
estate segment of $0.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 in connection with our past headcount
reduction compared to $0.8 million in 2008.
Commercial
Real Estate
Our commercial real estate segment plans, develops and entitles
our land holdings for a broad range of retail, office,
industrial and multi-family uses. We sell and develop commercial
land and provide development opportunities for national and
regional commercial developers and strategic partners in
Northwest Florida. We also offer land for commercial and light
industrial uses within large and small-scale commerce parks, as
well as for a wide range of multi-family rental projects.
Consistent with residential real estate, the markets for
commercial real estate, particularly retail, remain weak.

Much of our commercial real estate activity is focused on the
opportunities presented by the new international airport in Bay
County, scheduled to open in May 2010. The new airport is
located within some of our most valuable land holdings. As part
of this effort, we have accelerated preconstruction development
activity on approximately 1,000 acres adjacent to the
airport site. The land is being planned for office, retail,
hotel and industrial users. During the second quarter, we also
initiated a significant outreach program to site consultants and
multinational corporations, as well as their suppliers, within
the aerospace, defense, security and aviation economic clusters.
We expect, over time, that this international airport will
expand our customer base as it connects Northwest Florida with
the global economy and as the area is repositioned from a
regional to a national destination.
Real Estate Sales. There were no commercial
land sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009
compared to one during 2008. Sales and cost of sales included
previously deferred revenue of $0.1 million, based on
percentage-of-completion
for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and included
previously deferred revenue and
30
Table of Contents
gain on sales, based on
percentage-of-completion
accounting, of $0.1 million and $0.1 million,
respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
There were no commercial land sales for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 compared to one during 2008. Sales and cost
of sales included previously deferred revenue and gain on sales,
based on
percentage-of-completion
accounting, of $0.5 million and $0.1 million,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
$0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the
six months ended June 30, 2008.
Rental revenue for the three and six months ended June 30,
2009 represents lease income associated with a long term land
lease with the Port Authority of Port St. Joe.
Other income includes $0.2 million and $0.4 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively, of deferred gain associated with three buildings
sold in 2007 with which we have continuing involvement due to a
sale and leaseback arrangement.
Rural
Land Sales
Our rural land sales segment markets and sells tracts of land of
varying sizes for rural recreational, conservation and
timberland uses. The land sales segment at times prepares land
for sale for these uses through harvesting, thinning and other
silviculture practices, and in some cases, limited
infrastructure development.
The table below sets forth the results of operations of our
rural land sales segment for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008:

Although we continue to rely on rural land sales as a source of
revenue during the current economic downturn, our 2009 sales
activity is planned to be significantly less than 2008. We
consider the land sold to be non-strategic as these parcels
would require a significant amount of time to realize a higher
and better use than timberland. Although our average price per
acre in 2009 has increased compared to 2008, average sales
prices per acre vary according to
31
Table of Contents
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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we closed the
following significant sales:
| 930 acres in Wakulla County for $3.9 million, or $4,234 per acre. | |
| 4,492 acres in Liberty County for $5.9 million, or $1,305 per acre. |
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 $1,330 per acre. | |
| 29,343 acres primarily within Leon County, Florida and Stewart County, Georgia, for $38.4 million, or $1,308 per acre. |
Forestry
Our forestry segment focuses on the management and harvesting of
our extensive timber holdings. We grow, harvest and sell timber
and wood fiber and provide land management services for
conservation properties. On February 27, 2009, we completed
the sale of the inventory and equipment assets of Sunshine State
Cypress. The results of operations for Sunshine State Cypress
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 are set forth below as discontinued operations.
The table below sets forth the results of the continuing
operations of our forestry segment for the three and six months
ended June 30.

Three
Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
Total revenues for the forestry segment increased
$0.8 million, or 13%, for the three months ended
June 30, 2009 as compared to the 2008 period. We have a
wood fiber supply agreement with Smurfit-Stone Container
Corporation which expires on June 30, 2012. Although
Smurfit-Stone recently filed for bankruptcy protection, the
supply agreement remains in effect at this time. Sales under
this agreement were $4.1 million (188,000 tons) in 2009 and
$3.1 million (171,000 tons) in 2008. Sales to other
customers totaled $3.1 million (150,000 tons) in 2009 as
compared to $3.3 million (179,000 tons) in 2008. Sales
under the wood fiber supply agreement increased during the
second quarter of 2009 due to the increase in price per ton
under the terms of the agreement and tons sold. Sales to other
customers decreased $0.2 million from 2008 as a result of
an accelerated harvest plan in connection with a large land sale
in 2008.
32
Table of Contents
Cost of sales for the forestry segment increased
$0.3 million in 2009 compared to 2008. Gross margins as a
percentage of revenue were 28% in 2009 and 23% in 2008. The
increase in margin was primarily due to the increase in price
per ton for wood fiber sales and a fuel cost reduction in logger
cut and haul rates.
Six
Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
Total revenues for the forestry segment decreased
$0.7 million, or 5%, for the six months ended June 30,
2009 compared to the 2008 period. Sales under the wood fiber
supply agreement with Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation were
$7.3 million (348,000 tons) in 2009 and $6.5 million
(355,000 tons) in 2008. Sales to other customers totaled
$5.5 million (268,000 tons) in 2009 as compared to
$7.5 million (392,000 tons) in 2008. The decrease in
revenue was primarily due to increased sales to our outside
customers in 2008, which was a result of an accelerated harvest
plan in connection with the large tract land sales in the first
six months of 2008. Our 2009 revenues also included
$0.5 million related to land management services performed
in connection with certain conservation properties.
Cost of sales for the forestry segment decreased
$0.2 million in 2009 compared to 2008. Gross margins as a
percentage of revenue were 28% in 2009 and 30% in 2008. The
decrease in margin was primarily due to higher margin product
sales to outside customers in 2008 for which we did not incur
any cut and haul costs.
Discontinued
Operations
On February 27, 2009, we sold our remaining inventory and
equipment assets related to our Sunshine State Cypress mill and
mulch plant for $1.6 million. We received $1.3 million
in cash and a note receivable of $0.3 million. The sale
agreement also included a long term lease of a building facility.
Discontinued operations related to the sale of Sunshine State
Cypress for the three and six months ended June 30 are as

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We generated cash in the second quarter of 2009 from sales of
land holdings, sales of other assets and operations. We used
cash in the second quarter of 2009 for operations, real estate
development and construction.
As of June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$116.6 million, compared to $115.5 million as of
December 31, 2008. We invest our excess cash primarily in
government-only money market mutual funds, short term
U.S. treasury investments and overnight deposits, all of
which are highly liquid, with the intent to make such funds
readily available for operating expenses and strategic long-term
investment purposes. We believe that our current cash and cash
equivalents, credit facility and cash we expect to generate from
operating activities and tax refunds will provide us with
sufficient liquidity to satisfy our working capital needs and
capital expenditures through the next twenty-four months.
In September 2008, we entered into a new $100 million
Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with Branch
Banking and Trust Company (BB&T). The
Credit Agreement provides for a $100 million revolving
credit facility that matures on September 19, 2011. We have
the option to request an increase in the principal amount
available under the Credit Agreement up to $200 million
through syndication on a best efforts basis. The Credit
33
Table of Contents
Agreement provides for swing advances of up to $5 million
and the issuance of letters of credit of up to $30 million.
No funds have been drawn on the Credit Agreement as of
June 30, 2009. The proceeds of any future borrowings under
the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes.
We have pledged 100% of the membership interests in our largest
subsidiary, St. Joe Timberland Company of Delaware, LLC, as
security for the credit facility. We have also agreed that upon
the occurrence of an event of default, St. Joe Timberland
Company of Delaware, LLC will grant to the lenders a first
priority pledge of
and/or a
lien on substantially all of its assets.
As more fully described in Note 8 of our consolidated
financial statements, the Credit Agreement contains covenants
relating to leverage, unencumbered asset value, net worth,
liquidity and additional debt. The Credit Agreement does not
contain a fixed charge coverage covenant. The Credit Agreement
also contains various restrictive covenants pertaining to
acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures, dividends,
share repurchases, asset dispositions and liens. We were in
compliance with our debt covenants at June 30, 2009.
Cash
Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) operations was $3.3 million
and $(26.5) million in the first six months of 2009 and
2008, respectively. During such periods, total capital
expenditures relating to our residential real estate segment
were $8.4 million and $28.5 million, respectively.
Total capital expenditures for operating properties of
commercial land development and residential club and resort
property development in the first six months of 2009 and 2008
were $1.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively. We
continue to take a very prudent approach to managing assets and
continue to reduce capital expenditures as well as operating and
overhead expenses.
Our current income tax receivable was $47.0 million at
June 30, 2009 and $32.3 million at December 31,
2008. We anticipate we will receive most of the
$32.3 million tax receivable during 2009 which will provide
us with additional liquidity.
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 Wachovia Bank, N.A. (now
a subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company). In April 2008,
$30.5 million related to $70.0 million of the
installment notes were monetized for $27.4 million in cash.
We have not recorded any installment note sales during 2009.
On June 18, 2009, as plan sponsor, we signed a commitment
for the pension plan to purchase a group annuity contract from
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company for the benefit of
the retired participants and certain other former employee
participants in our pension plan. The purchase price of the
group annuity contract was approximately $101 million,
which was funded from the assets of the pension plan on
June 25, 2009. As a result of this transaction, we
significantly increased the funding status ratio of our pension
plan and reduced the potential for future funding requirements.
Cash
Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $2.0 million and
$0.7 million in the first six months of 2009 and 2008,
respectively. We do not anticipate making any significant cash
investments at this time.
Cash
Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was
$(0.2) million and $47.1 million in the first six
months of 2009 and 2008, respectively.
In an effort to enhance our financial flexibility, on
March 3, 2008, we sold 17,145,000 shares of our common
stock, at a price of $35.00 per share. We received net proceeds
of $580.1 million in connection with the public offering
which were used to prepay in full (i) during the first
quarter 2008 a $100 million term loan and the entire
outstanding balance (approximately $160 million) of our
previous $500 million senior revolving credit facility and
(ii) on April 4, 2008 senior notes with an outstanding
principal amount of $240.0 million together with a
make-whole amount of approximately $29.7 million.
34
Table of Contents
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 as debt $12.2 million and
$11.9 million related to CDD bonds as of June 30, 2009
and December 31, 2008, respectively. We retired
approximately $30.0 million of CDD debt from the proceeds
of our common stock offering during the first quarter 2008.

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

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, 2009, 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.

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. We
have no present intention to repurchase any shares under the
Stock Repurchase Program.
