NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)
(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 Florida-based real estate developer and manager. The
Company owns approximately 574,000 acres of land concentrated primarily in Northwest Florida and
has significant residential and commercial land-use entitlements in hand or in process. The
majority of land not under development is used for the growing and selling of timber or is
available for sale. The Company also owns various resort and club properties.
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, 2010 balance sheet amounts have been derived from the
Companys December 31, 2010 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, 2010. The Company
adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its interim financial statements. As
permitted under generally accepted accounting principles, interim accounting for certain expenses,
including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions. For interim financial reporting
purposes, income taxes are recorded based upon estimated annual income tax rates.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current periods
presentation.
Long-Lived Assets and Discontinued Operations
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. Long-lived
assets include the Companys investments in operating, development and investment property. Some of
the events or changes in circumstances that are considered by the Company as indicators of
potential impairment include:
| a prolonged decrease in the market price or demand for the Companys properties; | ||
| a change in the expected use or development plans for the Companys properties; | ||
| a current period operating or cash flow loss for an operating property; and, | ||
| an accumulation of costs in a development property that significantly exceeds its historically low basis in property held long-term. |
Homes and homesites substantially completed and ready for sale are measured at the lower of
carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Homes and homesites ready for sale include
properties that are actively marketed with an intent to sell such properties in the near term.
Management identifies properties as being ready for sale when the
6
Table of Contents
intent is to sell such assets in the near term and under current market conditions. Other
properties for which management does not intend to sell in the near term under current market
conditions are evaluated for impairment based on managements best estimate of the long-term use
and eventual disposition of such property.
For projects under development, an estimate of future cash flows on an undiscounted basis is
performed using estimated future expenditures necessary to develop and maintain the existing
project and using managements best estimates about future sales prices and holding periods. The
projection of undiscounted cash flows requires that management develop various assumptions
including:
| the projected pace of sales of homesites based on estimated market conditions and the Companys development plans; | ||
| projected price appreciation over time, which can range from 0% to 7% annually; | ||
| the amount and trajectory of price appreciation over the estimated selling period; | ||
| the length of the estimated development and selling periods, which can range from 5 years to 17 years depending on the size of the development and the number of phases to be developed; | ||
| the amount of remaining development costs and holding costs to be incurred over the selling period; | ||
| in situations where development plans are subject to change, the amount of entitled land subject to bulk land sales or alternative use and the estimated selling prices of such property; | ||
| for commercial development property, future pricing is based on sales of comparable property in similar markets; and | ||
| assumptions regarding the intent and ability to hold individual investments in real estate over projected periods and related assumptions regarding available liquidity to fund continued development. |
For operating properties, an estimate of undiscounted cash flows requires management to make
similar assumptions about the use and eventual disposition of such properties. Some of the
significant assumptions that are used to develop the undiscounted cash flows include:
| for investments in hotel and rental condominium units, average occupancy and room rates, revenues from food and beverage and other amenity operations, operating expenses and capital expenditures, and the amount of proceeds to be realized upon eventual disposition of such properties as condo-hotels or condominiums, based on current prices for similar units appreciated to the expected sale date; | ||
| for investments in commercial or retail property, future occupancy and rental rates and the amount of proceeds to be realized upon eventual disposition of such property at a terminal capitalization rate; and, | ||
| for investments in golf courses, future rounds and greens fees, operating expenses and capital expenditures, and the amount of proceeds to be realized upon eventual disposition of such properties at a multiple of terminal year cash flows. |
The results of impairment analyses for development and operating properties are particularly
dependent on the estimated holding and selling period for each asset group, which can be up to 35
years for certain properties with long range development plans. The estimated holding period is
based on managements current intent for the use and disposition of each property, which could be
subject to change in future periods if the strategic direction of the Company as set by management
and approved by the Board of Directors were to change. If the excess of undiscounted cash flows
over the carrying value of a property is small, there is a greater risk of future impairment in the
event of such changes and any resulting impairment charges could be material.
7
Table of Contents
Excluding any properties that have been written down to fair value, at December 31, 2010 the
Company had one development property with a carrying value of approximately $23 million whose
current undiscounted cash flow is approximately 110% of its carrying value.
In the event that projected future undiscounted cash flows are not adequate to recover the
carrying value of a property, impairment is indicated and the Company would be required under
generally accepted accounting principles to write down the asset to its fair value. Fair value of a
property may be derived either from discounting projected cash flows at an appropriate discount
rate, through appraisals of the underlying property, or a combination thereof.
The Company classifies the assets and liabilities of a long-lived asset as held-for-sale when
management approves and commits to a formal plan of sale and it is probable that a sale will be
completed. The carrying value of the assets held-for-sale are then recorded at the lower of their
carrying value or fair market value less costs to sell. The operations and gains on sales reported
in discontinued operations include operating properties sold during the year and assets classified
as held-for-sale for which operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished and for which the
Company will not have continuing involvement or significant cash flows after disposition. The
operations from these assets have been eliminated from ongoing operations. Prior periods have been
reclassified to reflect the operations of these assets as discontinued operations. The operations
and gains on sales of operating assets for which the Company has continuing involvement or
significant cash flows are reported as income from continuing operations.
Timber Deed
Timber deed sales are agreements in which the buyer agrees to purchase and harvest specified
timber (i.e. mature pulpwood and/or sawlogs) on a tract of land over the term of the contract.
Unlike a pay-as-cut sales contract, risk of loss and title to the trees transfer to the buyer when
the contract is signed. The buyer pays the full purchase price when the contract is signed and the
Company does not have any additional performance obligations. Under a timber deed, the buyer or
some other third party is responsible for all logging and hauling costs, if any, and the timing of
such activity. Revenue from a timber deed sale is recognized when the contract is signed because
the earnings process is complete.
On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into a $55.9 million agreement with an investment fund
for the sale of a timber deed which gives the investment fund the right to harvest timber on
specific tracts of land (encompassing 40,975 acres) over a maximum term of 20 years. As part of the
agreement, the Company also entered into a Thinnings Supply Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed,
to the extent that the buyer decided to conduct First Thinnings to purchase 85% of such first
thinnings at fair market value. During the second quarter of 2011, we purchased approximately $0.6
million of first thinnings. During the first six months of 2011, the Company recognized revenue of
$54.5 million related to the timber deed and an additional $1.4 million was recorded as an imputed
land lease to be recognized over the life of the timber deed.
New Accounting Standards
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
(Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06). ASU 2010-06
requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value
measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic
820-10 to now require (1) a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant
transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for
the transfers; (2) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable
inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances,
and settlements; and (3) a reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation
techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value
measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in
the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.

Table of Contents
Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for
interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 did not have a material
impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
2. Stock-Based Compensation and Earnings Per Share
On May 12, 2009, the Company adopted The St. Joe Company 2009 Equity Incentive Plan whereby
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards
may be granted to directors and employees. The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the issuance
of a maximum of 2.0 million shares of the Companys common stock.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the
award and is typically recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service
period, which is the vesting period. Stock-based compensation cost may be recognized over a shorter
requisite service period if an employee meets retirement eligibility requirements. Upon exercise of
stock options, the Company will issue new common stock.
Additionally, the 15% discount at which employees purchased the Companys common stock through
payroll deductions was being recognized as compensation expense. The Company discontinued the
employee stock purchase plan as of July 1, 2011.
The changes to the composition of the Companys board of directors which occurred during the
first quarter of 2011 constituted a change in control event under the terms of certain of our
incentive plans. As a result, during March 2011, the Company accelerated the vesting of
approximately 300,000 shares of restricted stock resulting in $6.2 million in accelerated stock
compensation expense.
Service-Based Grants
A summary of service-based non-vested restricted stock activity as of June 30, 2011 and
changes during the six month period are presented below:
Weighted Average | ||||||||
Number of | Grant Date Fair | |||||||

Forfeited |
(20,900 | ) | 28.55 | |||||
Balance at June 30, 2011 |
64,186 | $ | 29.59 | |||||
As of June 30, 2011 there was $0.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for
estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested restricted stock and stock option compensation
arrangements which will be recognized over a weighted average period of four years.
Market Condition Grants
The Company has 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 a three year performance period.
The Company used 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 included expected stock price volatility over the requisite performance term of the
awards, the relative performance of the Companys stock price and shareholder returns to those
companies in its peer groups and a risk-free interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is
recognized regardless of the achievement of the market condition, provided the requisite service
period is met.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated
by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period, including all potentially dilutive shares issuable under outstanding stock options and
service-based non-vested restricted stock. Stock options and non-vested restricted stock are not
considered in any diluted earnings per share calculations when the Company has a loss from
continuing operations. Non-vested restricted stock 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:

Less than 0.1 million shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per
share during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as the effect would have been

3. Fair value measurements
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 for its financial and non-financial assets and
liabilities. ASC 820 among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for
measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at
fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an
exit price, representing the amount that would be received
10
Table of Contents
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions
that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering
such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the
inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either
directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the
reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:
Fair value as of June 30, 2011

The Company has recorded a retained interest with respect to the monetization of certain
installment notes 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 entities is in the form of receipts of net interest
payments, which are recorded as interest income and approximated $0.3 million for each of the six
months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, the Company will receive the
payment of the remaining principal on the installment notes during 2022 and 2023.
In accordance with ASC 325, Investments Other, Subtopic 40 Beneficial Interests in
Securitized Financial Assets, the Company recognizes interest income over the life of the retained
interest using the effective yield method. 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 make adjustments as a result of changes in previously
projected cash flows during the first six months of 2011 or 2010.

In the event of a failure and liquidation of the financial institution involved in our
installment sales, the Company could be required to write-off the remaining retained interest
recorded on its balance sheet in connection with the installment sale monetization transactions,
which would have an adverse effect on the Companys results of operations and financial position.
On October 21, 2009, the Company entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Southwest
Airlines to facilitate the commencement of low-fare air service in May 2010 to the Northwest
Florida Beaches International Airport. The Company has agreed to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it
incurs losses on its service at the airport during the first three years of service by making
specified break-even payments. There was no reimbursement required in 2010 or the first six months
of 2011. The agreement also provides that Southwests profits from the air service during the term
of the agreement will be shared with the Company up to the maximum amount of our break-even
payments. Profits from any calendar year, however, do not carryover from year to year.
The term of the agreement extends for a period of three years ending May 23, 2013. Although
the agreement does not provide for maximum payments, the agreement may be terminated by the Company
if the break-even payments to Southwest exceed $12 million in the second year of air service.
Southwest may terminate the agreement if its actual annual revenues attributable to the air service
at the airport are less than certain minimum annual amounts established in the agreement. As of
June 30, 2011 actual revenues have exceeded these minimum amounts.
At inception, the Company measured the associated standby guarantee liability at fair value
based upon a discounted cash flow analysis based on managements best estimates of future cash
flows to be paid by the Company pursuant to the strategic alliance agreement. These cash flows are
estimated using numerous estimates including future fuel costs, passenger load factors, air fares,
and seasonality. Subsequently, the guarantee is measured at the greater of the fair value of the
guarantee liability at inception or the payment amount that is probable and reasonably estimable of
occurring, if any. The Company carried a standby guarantee liability of $0.8 million at June 30,
2011 and December 31, 2010 related to this strategic alliance agreement. The Company has made no
payments under the standby guarantee.
In order to mitigate potential losses that may arise from changes in Southwest Airlines jet
fuel costs, we entered into a premium neutral collar arrangement with respect to the underlying
cost of jet fuel for a portion of Southwest Airlines estimated fuel volumes. The collar
arrangement expired in May 2011 and the Company received payments of $0.4 million during the term
of the arrangement.
The Company did not extend the term of, or enter into a new arrangement because the Company
concluded that (i) the cost of jet fuel is a small proportion of the total costs the Company may be
obligated to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs losses on its service at the new airport
during the first three years of service and (ii) the Company believes that the greatest likelihood of
payments to Southwest Airlines pursuant to the strategic alliance agreement occurred during the
first year of operations.
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, and which management intends to sell in the
near term under current market conditions, are measured at lower of carrying value or fair value
less costs to sell. The fair value of these properties is determined based upon final sales prices
of inventory sold during the period (level 2 inputs) or estimates of selling prices based on
current market data (level 3 inputs). Other properties for which management does not intend to sell
in the near term under current market conditions, including development and operating properties,
are evaluated for impairment based on
12
Table of Contents
managements best estimate of the long-term use and eventual disposition of the property. If
determined to be impaired, the fair value of these properties is determined based on the net
present value of discounted cash flows using estimated future expenditures necessary to maintain
and complete the existing project and managements best estimates about future sales prices, sales
volumes, sales velocity and holding periods (level 3 inputs). The estimated length of expected
development periods, related economic cycles and inherent uncertainty with respect to these
projects such as the impact of changes in development plans and the Companys intent and ability to
hold the projects through the development period, could result in changes to these estimates. For
operating properties, an estimate of undiscounted cash flows requires management to make similar
assumptions about the use and eventual disposition of such properties. For the six months ended
June 30, 2011, the total impairment losses were $2.5 million. The assets measured at fair value on
a nonrecurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2011 were as follows:

During the second quarter of 2011,
management made the decision to dispose of four homes to avoid the
ongoing maintenance and other holding costs. One of these homes included a 53 acre parcel which the Company had initially developed
as a rural retreat community. The remainder of the homes
and condos owned by the Company are currently being used as rental property. As a result, long-lived assets sold or held for sale with a carrying amount of $4.6 million were written
down to their fair value of $2.9 million, resulting in a loss of $1.7 million, which was included
in impairment losses for the six months ending June 30, 2011. In addition, the Company impaired
$0.8 million of predevelopment costs related to the construction of the Companys proposed new
headquarters in Northwest Florida, which has been indefinitely delayed.

remeasured the plan assets and benefit obligations as of June 30, 2011 due to curtailment
accounting.
During the second quarter of 2011, the Company implemented a Health Reimbursement Arrangement
whereby the Company will make a discretionary contribution every year on behalf of each retiree,
beneficiary and surviving spouse. As a result the retiree medical liability has been reduced by
$7.0 million with a corresponding reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss). This change in accumulated other comprehensive income will be amortized into income
over the future life expectancy of the participants (approximately 9 years).

11. 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, including claims resulting
from construction defects and contract disputes. When appropriate, the Company establishes
estimated accruals for litigation matters which meet the requirements of ASC 450 Contingencies.
The Company is subject to costs arising out of environmental laws and regulations, which
include obligations to remove or limit the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of
certain wastes or substances at various sites, including sites which have been previously sold. It
is the Companys policy to accrue and charge against earnings environmental cleanup costs when it
is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount can be reasonably estimated. As
assessments and cleanups proceed, these accruals are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, as
additional information becomes available.

The Companys former paper mill site in Gulf County and certain adjacent properties are
subject to various Consent Agreements and Brownfield Site Rehabilitation 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.
Other proceedings and litigation involving environmental matters are pending against the
Company. Aggregate environmental-related accruals were $1.6 million at June 30, 2011 and December
31, 2010. Although in the opinion of management none of our environmental litigation matters or
governmental proceedings is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Companys
consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity, it is possible that the actual
amounts of liabilities resulting from such matters could be material.
On November 3, 2010 and December 7, 2010, two securities class action complaints were filed
against the Company and certain of its officers and directors in the Northern District of Florida.
These cases have been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida
and are captioned as Meyer v. The St. Joe Company et al. (No. 5:11-cv-00027). A consolidated class
action complaint was filed in the case on February 24, 2011. The complaint was filed on behalf of
persons who purchased the Companys securities between February 19, 2008 and October 12, 2010 and
alleges that the Company and certain of its officers and directors, among others, violated the
Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making false and/or misleading
statements and/or by failing to disclose that, as the Florida real estate market was in decline,
the Company was failing to take adequate and required impairments and accounting write-downs on
many of the Companys Florida-based properties and as a result, the Companys financial statements
materially overvalued the Companys property developments. The plaintiffs also allege that the
Companys financial statements were not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles, and that the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls, and as a result
of the foregoing, the Companys financial statements were materially false and misleading. The
complaint seeks an unspecified amount in damages. The Company believes that it has meritorious
defenses to the plaintiffs claims and intends to defend the action vigorously. The Company filed a
motion to dismiss the case on April 6, 2011.
Additionally, on March 29, 2011 and July 21, 2011, two separate derivative lawsuits were filed by shareholders on behalf of
the Company against certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for
the Northern District of Florida (Nakata v. Greene et. al., No. 5:11-cv-00090 and Packer v. Greene et al.,
No. 3:11-cv-00344). The complaints
allege breaches of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment arising from
substantially similar allegations as those described above in the Meyer case. The Company has
received two other demand letters asking the Board of Directors to initiate derivative litigation
in this matter.
On January 4, 2011 the SEC notified the Company it was conducting an inquiry into the
Companys policies and practices concerning impairment of investment in real estate assets. On June
24, 2011, the Company received notice from the SEC that it has issued a related order of private
investigation. The order of private investigation covers a variety of matters for the period
beginning January 1, 2007 including (a) the antifraud provisions of the Federal securities laws as
applicable to the Company and its past and present officers, directors, employees, partners,
subsidiaries, and/or affiliates, and/or other persons or entities, (b) compliance by past and
present reporting persons or entities who were or are directly or indirectly the beneficial owner
of more than 5% of the Companys common stock (which includes Fairholme Funds, Inc, Fairholme
Capital Management L.L.C. and the Companys current Chairman Bruce R. Berkowitz) with their
reporting obligations under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, (c) internal controls, (d) books and
records, (e) communications with auditors and (f) financial reports. The order designates officers
of the SEC to take the testimony of the Company and third parties with respect to any or all of
these matters, and the Company is cooperating with the SEC.
On October 21, 2009, the Company entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Southwest
Airlines to facilitate the commencement of low-fare air service in May 2010 to the Northwest
Florida Beaches International Airport. The Company has agreed to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it
incurs losses on its service at the airport during the first three years of service. The agreement
also provides that Southwests profits from the air service during the term of the agreement will
be shared with the Company up to the maximum amount of its break-even payments.
The term of the agreement extends for a period of three years after the commencement of
Southwests air service at the airport. Although the agreement does not provide for maximum
payments, the agreement may be terminated
18
Table of Contents
by the Company if the payments to Southwest exceed $12 million in the second year of air
service. The agreement also provides that Southwests profits from the air service during the term
of the agreement will be shared with the Company up to the maximum amount of our break-even
payments. Profits from any calendar year, however, do not carryover from year to year. Southwest
may terminate the agreement if its actual annual revenues attributable to the air service at the
airport are less than certain minimum annual amounts established in the agreement. The Company
carries a standby guarantee liability of $0.8 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010
related to this strategic alliance agreement.
The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party
liability and property damage.
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company was party to surety bonds of $28.7 million
and $27.9 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit in the amount of $0.8 million at
June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 which may potentially result in liability to the Company if the
underlying obligations, primarily development and litigation related obligations, of the Company
are not met.
12. Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties
The Companys real estate investments are concentrated in the State of Florida in a number of
specific development projects. Uncertainty of the duration of the prolonged real estate and
economic slump could have an adverse impact on the Companys real estate values and could cause the
Company to sell assets at depressed values in order to pay ongoing expenses.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk
consist of cash, cash equivalents, notes receivable and retained interests. The Company deposits
and invests excess cash with major financial institutions in the United States. Balances may exceed
the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.
Some of the Companys notes receivable are from homebuilders and other entities associated
with the real estate industry. As with many entities in the real estate industry, revenues have
contracted for these companies, and they may be increasingly dependent on their lenders continued
willingness to provide funding to maintain ongoing liquidity. The Company evaluates the need for an
allowance for doubtful notes receivable at each reporting date.
Smurfit-Stones Panama City mill is the largest consumer of pine pulpwood logs within the
immediate area in which most of the Companys timberlands are located. In July of 2010,
Smurfit-Stone emerged from approximately 18 months of bankruptcy protection, and during the first
quarter of 2011, RockTenn announced its acquisition of Smurfit-Stone. Deliveries made by St. Joe
during Smurfit-Stones bankruptcy proceedings were uninterrupted and payments were made on time.
Under the terms of the Wood Fiber Supply Agreement entered into in November 2010, Smurfit-Stone and
its successor RockTenn would be liable for any monetary damages as a result of the closure of the
mill due to economic reasons for a period of one year. Nevertheless if the Smurfit-Stone mill in
Panama City were to permanently cease operations, the price for our pulpwood may decline, and the
cost of delivering logs to alternative customers would increase.
Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Overview
We own a large inventory of land suitable for development in Florida. The majority of our land
is located in Northwest Florida and has a very low initial cost basis before considering
development costs. In order to increase the value of these core real estate assets, we seek to
reposition portions of our substantial timberland holdings for higher and better uses. We seek to
create value in our land by securing entitlements for higher and better land-uses, facilitating
infrastructure improvements, developing community amenities, undertaking strategic and expert land
planning and development, parceling our land holdings in creative ways, performing land restoration
and enhancement and promoting economic development.
19
Table of Contents
We have four operating segments: residential real estate, commercial real estate, rural land
sales and forestry. The table below sets forth the relative contribution of these operating
segments to our consolidated operating revenues:

Our business, financial condition and results of operations continued to be adversely affected
during the second quarter of 2011 by the real estate downturn, slow economic recovery and other
adverse market conditions. This challenging environment has exerted negative pressure on the demand
for all of our real estate products. Even though we have seen slightly improved residential sales
activity, as well as renewed interest in commercial sales activity, we do not expect any
significant improvement in market conditions during the remainder of 2011.
The large oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico from the Deepwater Horizon incident has had a
negative impact on our properties, results of operations and stock price and has created
uncertainty about the future of the Gulf Coast region. We have filed lawsuits seeking the recovery
of damages against parties we believe are responsible for the oil spill. We cannot be certain,
however, of the amount of any recovery or the ultimate success of our claims.
Residential Real Estate
Our residential real estate segment typically plans and develops mixed-use resort, primary and
seasonal residential communities of various sizes, primarily on our existing land. We own large
tracts of land in Northwest Florida, including significant Gulf of Mexico beach frontage and
waterfront properties, and land near Jacksonville and Tallahassee.
Our residential 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 residential real estate segment incurs cost of revenues from:
| costs directly associated with the land, development and construction of real estate sold, indirect costs such as development overhead, project administration, warranty, capitalized interest and selling costs; | ||
| resort and club personnel costs, cost of goods sold, and management fees paid to third party managers; | ||
| operating expenses of rental properties; and | ||
| brokerage fees. |
Commercial Real Estate
Our commercial real estate segment plans, develops and entitles our land holdings for a broad
range of retail, office, hotel, industrial and multi-family uses. We sell and develop commercial
land and provide development
20
Table of Contents
opportunities for national and regional retailers as well as strategic partners in Northwest
Florida. We also offer land for commercial and light industrial uses within large and small-scale
commerce parks, as well as for a wide range of multi-family rental projects. Our commercial real
estate segment generates revenues from the sale or lease of developed and undeveloped land for
retail, multi-family, office, hotel and industrial uses and rental income. Our commercial real
estate segment incurs costs of revenues from costs directly associated with the land, development
costs and selling costs and operating costs of rental properties.
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 prepares land for sale for
these uses through harvesting, thinning and other silviculture practices, and in some cases,
limited infrastructure development. Our rural land sales segment generates revenues from the sale
of undeveloped land, land with limited development, easements and mitigation bank credits. Our
rural land segment incurs costs of revenues from the cost of land sold, minimal development costs
and selling costs.
In recent years, our revenue from rural land sales have significantly decreased as a result of our decision
to sell only non-strategic rural land and to principally use our rural land resources to create
sources of recurring revenue as well as from declines in demand for rural land due to difficult
current market conditions. We may, however, rely on rural land sales as a significant source of
revenues and cash in the future.
Forestry
Our forestry segment focuses on the management and harvesting of our extensive timber
holdings. We grow, harvest and sell sawtimber, wood fiber and forest products and provide land
management services for conservation properties. Our forestry segment generates revenues from the
sale of wood fiber, sawtimber, standing timber and forest products and conservation land management
services. Our forestry segment incurs costs of revenues from internal costs of forestry management,
external logging costs, and property taxes.
In November 2010, we entered into a new wood fiber supply agreement with Smurfit-Stone (which
was recently acquired by RockTenn) (the Smurfit-Stone Wood Fiber Agreement). The new agreement
replaces an agreement that we had entered into in July 2000 and that was scheduled to expire in
June 2012. Under the agreement, we agreed to sell 4.0 million tons of pulpwood to Smurfit-Stones
pulp and paper mill in Panama City, Florida over the next seven years. The new agreement also
included more favorable pricing terms for us and guaranteed a steady demand for much of our wood
fiber harvest and removed certain restrictions on St. Joes timberlands contained in the previous
agreement. As a result of this new agreement, revenues from timber sales increased during the first
half of 2011 and are expected to slightly increase, period over period, during the remainder of the
year.
On March 31, 2011, we entered into a $55.9 million agreement for the sale of a timber deed
which gives the purchaser the right to harvest timber on specific tracts of land (encompassing
40,975 acres) over a maximum term of 20 years. Unlike a pay-as-cut sales contract, risk of loss and
title to the trees transfer to the buyer when the contract is signed. The buyer pays the full
purchase price when the contract is signed and we do not have any additional performance
obligations. Under a timber deed, the buyer or some other third party is responsible for all
logging and hauling costs, if any, and the timing of such activity. Revenue from a timber deed sale
is recognized when the contract is signed because the earnings process is complete. As part of the
agreement, we also entered into a Thinnings Supply Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed, to the
extent that the buyer decided to conduct a First Thinning to purchase 85% of such first thinnings
at fair market value. During the second quarter of 2011, we purchased approximately $0.6 million of
first thinnings.
2010 Restructuring and Relocation Program
In 2010, we announced that we were relocating our corporate headquarters from Jacksonville,
Florida to WaterSound, Florida and consolidating existing offices from Tallahassee, Port St. Joe
and Walton County into the WaterSound location. These relocations were completed in the second
quarter of 2011. As a result of this restructuring and relocation program we incurred approximately
$5.3 million of one-time charges during 2010 and $0.3 million during the first six months of 2011
primarily relating to one-time termination benefits in connection
21
Table of Contents
with the termination of employees that would not be relocating and relocation benefits for
those employees that would be relocating, as well as certain ancillary facility-related costs. The
relocation costs include relocation bonuses, temporary lodging expenses, resettlement expenses, tax
payments, shipping and storage of household goods, and closing costs for housing transactions.
Although we previously announced that we would build a new headquarters facility, we have now
decided to indefinitely delay the development of the new corporate headquarters building and
impaired $0.8 million of predevelopment costs related to the new building in the first quarter of
2011.
2011 Restructuring Program
In the first quarter of 2011, as a result of discussions between our Board of Directors and
Fairholme Capital Management, L.L.C., the largest beneficial owner of our common stock, Mr. Greene
entered into a Separation Agreement with us and resigned as our President and Chief Executive
Officer. On April 11, 2011, we entered into separation agreements with four additional members of
senior management, including William S. McCalmont, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, Roderick T. Wilson, President-West Bay Sector, Rusty Bozman, Senior Vice
President-Corporate Development and Reece B. Alford, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and
Secretary. As a result of these five separations, we incurred approximately $8.5 million in charges
during the six months ended June 30, 2011 pursuant to the separation agreements of these
individuals. These amounts do not include the additional $1.5 million non-cash compensation expense
arising from the accelerated vesting of Mr. Greenes restricted stock grants.
Our new management team has adopted a restructuring plan which is aimed at significantly
reducing operating costs. As part of this plan, we incurred approximately $1.6 million of charges
during the six months ended June 30, 2011 related to severance payments to employees. We expect
that our costs savings efforts will generate a decrease of approximately $15 million to $18 million
in operating and corporate expenses on an annualized basis.
Recent Developments
On June 28, 2011, the Company notified Branch Banking and Trust Company that it was exercising
its right to early terminate the Credit Agreement which was scheduled to mature on September 19,
2012. The termination was effective on July 1, 2011. The Company did not incur any prepayment
penalties in connection with the early termination of the Credit Agreement.
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, 2010. There have been no
significant changes in these policies during the first six months of 2011.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
See Note 1 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report for
recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated
effects on our consolidated financial statements.

Seasonality
Our real estate business and our Northwest Florida residential resort and seasonal and resort and club communities are
affected by seasonal fluctuations, with the spring and summer months traditionally being the most
active time of year for customer traffic and sales.
Results of Operations
Net loss increased $4.7 million to a loss of $(13.3) million, or $(0.14) per share, in the
second quarter of 2011, compared to a net loss of $(8.6) million, or $(0.09) per share, for the
second quarter of 2010. Net loss decreased $20.8 million to income of $0.8 million, or $.01 per
share, in the first six months of 2011, compared to a loss of $(20.0) million, or $(0.22) per
share, for the first six months of 2010. Included in our results for the three months and six
months ended June 30 are the following notable charges:
2011:
| Acceleration of $6.2 million of stock compensation expense due to the change in control of the Board of Directors and accelerating the vesting of most of our former President and Chief Executive Officers restricted stock. | ||
| Restructuring charges of $5.9 million and $10.4 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, including payments to five members of our senior management under the terms of their Separation Agreements. | ||
| Impairment charges of $1.7 million and $2.5 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, relating to homes sold or which management intends to sell in the near future in our residential segment and the decision to indefinitely delay the development of our new corporate headquarters. | ||
| Legal fees totaling $3.5 million and $8.8 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 due to defending the securities class action lawsuit, responding to the SEC inquiry, pursuing the claims against the parties we believe are responsible for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and legal costs incurred in connection with the change of control of the Board and other corporate governance matters. |
2010:
| Restructuring charges of $1.2 million and $2.7 million for the three months and six months ended June, 2010 related to the consolidation of our offices. | ||
| Impairment charges of $0.5 million and $0.6 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. |

The increase in real estate sales revenues and cost of real estate sales for the three months
and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to increased sales in our
residential real estate segment. Residential real estate sales continue to remain weak however as a
result of oversupply, depressed prices within the Florida real estate markets, poor economic
conditions and the oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon incident in the Gulf of Mexico. In
addition, our rural land sales decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010
as a result of our planned reduction in large tract rural land sales as well as weakened demand and
increased for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010 due to higher average sales price
of acres sold. Gross margin on real estates sales decreased for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010 primarily as a result of the higher proportion of residential
sales compared to rural land sales.
Resort and club revenues increased for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011
compared to 2010. The increase in revenue was primarily due to rate and occupancy increases. Cost
of revenues increases were related to occupancy increases. Margins were enhanced through reduced
operating costs achieved primarily through adjustments in staffing models resulting in reduced
labor expenses.
Timber revenues and the cost of timber revenues for the quarter increased due to increased
sales under the fiber agreement. Timber revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to
June 30, 2010 increased due to the sale of the timber deed to an investment fund, as well as
improved revenues from other timber operations. Cost of timber sales and depreciation also
increased, to a lesser extent, as a result of the sale of the timber deed. Gross margin on timber
sales decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010 due primarily to additional
purchases required subsequent to the timber deed (see Thinnings Supply Agreement discussed in the
forestry segment below). Gross margin on timber sales increased for the six months ended June 30,
2011 compared to 2010 due to higher margin generated on the timber deed transaction.
Other operating expenses relating to the residential real estate, commercial real estate,
rural land and forestry segments include salaries and benefits, marketing, homeowners
association assessments, property taxes and other administrative expenses. Other operating expenses
decreased by $1.3 million, or 17% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 2010 and $2.2 million,
or 14% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010, both due to lower expenses as a
result of our restructuring and cost savings efforts. For further detailed discussion of revenues
and expenses, see Segment Results below.
Corporate expense. Corporate
expense, consisting of corporate general and administrative
expenses, was $8.3 million and $8.1 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, an increase of 2% due to higher legal fees. Corporate expense was $26.5 million and
$13.5 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increase of
96%. As a result of the change in control of the Board of Directors in the first quarter of 2011,
the majority of our unvested restricted stock became fully-vested causing an acceleration of stock
compensation expense resulting in a non-cash charge of $4.7 million. We also accelerated the
vesting of most of our former President and CEOs restricted stock pursuant to his Separation
Agreement which resulted in a non-cash charge of $1.5 million to stock compensation expense.

Table of Contents
Legal
fees increased $3.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to June
30, 2010 and $8.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to six months ended
June 30, 2010, primarily due to defending the securities class action lawsuit, responding to the
SEC inquiry, pursuing the claims against the parties we believe are responsible for the Deepwater
Horizon oil spill, and legal costs incurred in connection with the change in control of the Board
of Directors and other corporate matters.
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 2011 and the first six months of 2011, we recorded
impairment charges of $1.7 million relating to homes sold or which management intends to sell in
the near term. Additionally during the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded an impairment
charge of $0.8 million related to predevelopment costs written off in connection with the decision
to indefinitely delay the development of our new corporate headquarters.
During the second quarter of 2010 and the first six months of 2010, we recorded impairment
charges on homes and homesites of zero and $0.1 million, respectively, in the residential real
estate segments. During the second quarter of 2010 we also recorded a $0.5 million write-down
resulting from a renegotiated builder note receivable in the residential segment.
Restructuring charge. On February 25, 2011, we entered into a Separation Agreement with Wm.
Britton Greene in connection with his resignation as President, Chief Executive Officer and
director of the Company. In the first quarter of 2011, we expensed $4.2 million of restructuring
charges under the terms of this agreement (not including the additional $1.5 million of non-cash
compensation expense arising from the accelerated vesting of Mr. Greens restricted stock grants).
On April 11, 2011, we entered into separation agreements with four members of senior
management, including William S. McCalmont, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer,
Roderick T. Wilson, President-West Bay Sector, Rusty Bozman, Senior Vice President-Corporate
Development and Reece B. Alford, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.
Additionally, certain other employees were terminated pursuant to our present restructuring plan.
In the second quarter of 2011, we expensed $5.9 million related to these terminations including
amounts under the terms of the separation agreements.
We recorded restructuring charges of $1.2 million and $2.7 million for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2010 respectively, under our 2010 restructuring and relocation program
related to termination and relocation benefits to employees as well as certain ancillary facility
related costs. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for further information
regarding our restructuring charges.
Other income (expense). Other income (expense) consists of investment income, interest
expense, gains on sales and dispositions of assets, fair value adjustment of our retained interest
in monetized installment note receivables and other income. Other income (expense) was $0.3 million
and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $0.6
million and less than $(0.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Investment income, net decreased $0.3 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010, respectively, primarily as a result of lower investment
returns on our cash balances. Interest expense decreased $0.2 million during the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010. Other, net decreased less than $0.1 million during
the three months ended and increased $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011
compared to 2010. The $0.8 million increase in other income was primarily the result of a $1.3
million charge for litigation settlement that occurred in 2010.
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 primarily related to
joint venture projects within our residential real estate segment which projects are now
substantially sold out.

Income tax (benefit) expense. Income tax (benefit) expense totaled $(6.9) million and $(6.1)
million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and $0.6 million and
$(12.7) million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our effective tax
rate was 34% and 42% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 44% and
39% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Segment Results
Residential Real Estate
Our residential sales improved from the previous year, although due to the continuing real
estate downturn, the slow economic recovery, the continuing impact from the Deepwater Horizon oil
spill and other adverse market conditions sales remain weak. Inventories of resale homes and
homesites remain high in our markets and prices remain depressed, and predicting when real estate
markets will return to health remains difficult. Although we have noticed some renewed interest in
residential real estate activity, we do not expect any significant improvement in market conditions
during the remainder of 2011.
We recorded impairment charges of $1.7 million in the three months and the six months ended
June 30, 2011 related to homes sold or which management intends to sell in the near term. We
recorded impairment charges of $0.5 million and $0.6 million in the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2010, respectively primarily related to a renegotiated builder note receivable.
The table below sets forth the results of continuing operations of our residential real estate
segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

WaterSound, WaterSound West Beach, WindMark Beach, RiverCamps on Crooked Creek, SummerCamp Beach
and Wild Heron, while primary communities included Breakfast Point, Hawks Landing and SouthWood. Our Northeast
Florida community consisted of RiverTown.
Northwest Florida resort and seasonal homesite closings in the second quarter of 2011 included
ten homesites at WaterColor, and two at WaterSound West Beach, compared to seven at WaterColor and
four at WaterSound West Beach in the second quarter of 2010. Primary homesite closings included
three at Hawks Landing, one at Breakfast Point, six at Southwood and two in Port St. Joe during
the second quarter of 2011 compared to five at Hawks Landing in second quarter of 2010.
Resort and club revenues included revenues from the WaterColor Inn, WaterColor and WaterSound
Beach vacation rental programs and other resort, golf club and marina operations. Resort and club
revenues were $13.0 million in the second quarter of 2011, with $11.0 million in related costs,
compared to revenues totaling $10.8 million with $9.6 million in related costs in the second
quarter of 2010. The increase in revenues was primarily due
27
Table of Contents
to rate increases at the WaterColor Inn and rate increases and higher occupancy in the
vacation rental programs. The increase in costs was related to the increased occupancy.
Other operating expenses included salaries and benefits, marketing, homeowners association
assessments, project administration, property taxes and other administrative expenses. Other
operating expenses were $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $4.8 million in the
second quarter of 2010. The decrease of $0.7 million in operating expenses was primarily due to
reductions in employee costs along with reductions in homeowners association assessments, other project costs and
property taxes.
Other expense was $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2011 which primarily consisted of
interest expense associated with our community development district obligations which was not
capitalized in 2011 due to reduced spending levels.

rate increases at the Watercolor Inn and vacation rental programs. The increase in costs was
related to increased occupancy.
Other operating expenses were $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to
$10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease of $1.4 million in operating

Late in the second quarter of 2011, we began collecting rent from the build-to-suit lease with
CVS Pharmacy in Port St. Joe and revenue from the three hundred space covered parking facility at
the entrance to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The projects will contribute
to our recurring revenue going forward.
We had one commercial land sale in Bay County during the three months ended June 30, 2011 of 1
acre at a price of $550,000 and no sales during the three months ended June 30, 2010. Additionally,
we had one commercial land sale in Bay County included in the six months ended June 30, 2011 of 1.2
acres at an average price of $192,000 per acre and one in Bay County during the six months ended
June 30, 2010 of 2.8 acres at an average price of $110,000 per acre.
Other operating expenses included costs associated with operating our parking facility at the
Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport as well as personnel and administrative expenses
related to our commercial real estate operations.
We recorded an impairment charge in the commercial real estate segment of $0.8 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2011 as a result of the write-off of predevelopment costs arising from
the decision to indefinitely delay the development of the new corporate headquarters building in
VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre during the first quarter of 2011.
We recorded restructuring charges in our commercial real estate segment of $1.7 million during
the three months and six months ended June, 2011 pursuant to our 2011 restructuring program.
Rural Land Sales
During the first half of 2011, demand for rural land sales continued to remain weak as a
result of difficult market conditions. In addition, in 2011 we continued to sell only non-strategic
rural land and to principally use our rural land resources to create sources of recurring revenue.

We made a decision to sell only non-strategic rural land and to create sources of recurring
revenue. We continued with that same strategy in 2011. We may, however, rely on rural land sales as
a significant source of revenues and cash in the future.
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we closed one land sale of 5 acres in Franklin
County for $75,760, or $15,152 per acre. Average sales prices per acre vary according to the
characteristics of each particular piece of land being sold and its highest and best use. As a
result, average prices will vary from one period to another.
We also sell credits to developers, utility companies and other users from our wetland
mitigation banks. Included in real estate sales was $0.6 million related to the sale of nine
mitigation bank credits at an average sales price of $65,201 per credit during the first six months
of 2010.
Sales and costs of sales for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 also
included previously deferred revenue and gain on sales of $0.4 million resulting from an easement
sale transaction.
Forestry
Our forestry segment focuses on the management and harvesting of our extensive timber
holdings. We grow, harvest and sell sawtimber, wood fiber and forest products and provide land
management services for conservation properties.
The table below sets forth the results of the continuing operations of our forestry segment
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
Timber sales during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 arose from sales of
wood fiber to RockTenn, formerly known as Smurfit-Stone Container Company, pursuant to our Wood
Fiber Agreement and sales in the open market. In November 2010, we entered into a new Wood Fiber
Agreement, which increased our pricing terms by approximately 25%, to more closely mirror current
market rates. Sales under the wood fiber agreement increased to $4.4 million, for 170,000 tons, in
the second quarter of 2011 from $3.5 million, for 167,000 tons, during the second quarter of 2010
principally as a result of the increased pricing. Open market sales in the second quarter totaled
$3.7 million (133,000 tons) in 2011 as compared to $4.0 million (146,000 tons) in 2010, with fairly
consistent pricing. Revenues for 2011 and 2010 included $0.1 million related to land management services. Our 2010 revenues also included $0.2 million related to the Biomass Crop assistance program sponsored by the federal government.
Cost of sales for the forestry segment increased $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2011
compared to 2010 due primarily to the purchases made pursuant to the Thinnings Supply Agreement
discussed below and increased logging and hauling expense related to diesel fuel prices.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
Timber sales during the six months ended June 30, 2011 arose from the sale of a timber deed
during the first quarter of 2011 and from our ongoing sales of wood fiber. On March 31, 2011, we
entered into a $55.9 million
31
Table of Contents
agreement for the sale of a timber deed which gives the purchaser the right to harvest timber
on specific tracts of land (encompassing 40,975 acres) over a maximum term of 20 years. As part of
the agreement, we also entered into a Thinnings Supply Agreement to purchase first thinnings of
timber included in the timber deed at fair market value from the investment fund. During the first
six months of 2011, we recognized revenue of $54.5 million related to the timber deed with $1.4
million recorded as an imputed land lease to be recognized over the life of the timber deed. The
resulting pre-tax gain on this timber deed transaction, net of cost of sales and depletion of $4.2
million was $50.3 million during the first quarter.
During the first six months of 2011, we also had sales of pulpwood (1) under the wood fiber
agreement of $8.4 million (325,000 tons) in the first six months of 2011, up from $7.1 million
(342,000 tons) for the same period of 2010 and (2) in open market sales of $7.7 million (273,000
tons) up from $6.3 million (256,000 tons) for the same period in 2010. Increased sales under the
wood fiber agreement were due to the increased pricing, slightly offset by lower volume. Revenues
from open market sales increased due to more sales of delivered wood in 2011 which sell at a higher
price than non-delivered wood. Our 2011 and 2010 revenues included $0.2 million related to the revenue
received for land management services. Our 2010 revenues included $0.6 million related to the Biomass Crop assistance program sponsored by the federal government.
Cost of sales for the forestry segment increased $2.7 million in the first six months of 2011
compared to 2010 due primarily to professional fees associated with the timber deed and purchases
made pursuant to the Thinnings Supply Agreement.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $199.8 million, compared to $183.8
million as of December 31, 2010.
We invest our excess cash primarily in bank deposit accounts, 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.
On June 28, 2011, we notified Branch Banking and Trust Company that we were exercising our
right to early terminate the Credit Agreement which was scheduled to mature on September 19, 2012.
The termination was effective on July 1, 2011. The description of the material terms of the Credit
Agreement is set forth in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. We did not
incur any prepayment penalties in connection with the early termination of the Credit Agreement.
We believe that our current cash position and our anticipated cash flows will provide us with
sufficient liquidity to satisfy our currently anticipated working capital needs and capital
expenditures. The early termination of the Credit Agreement will allow us to avoid unused fees
payable pursuant to the agreement and eliminate contractual restrictions and covenants set forth in
the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, restrictions relating to acquisitions or
dispositions, investments, capital expenditures, dividends and stock repurchases. We believe that
this additional flexibility will permit us to explore additional opportunities that may be
accretive to shareholders.
We have entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Southwest Airlines to facilitate
low-fare air service to the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. We have agreed to
reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs losses on its service at the new airport during the first
three years of service by making break-even payments. There has been no reimbursement required
since the effective date of the agreement in May 2010.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Oil Spill Lawsuits
We have several ongoing lawsuits against certain parties we believe are responsible for
Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The oil spill has negatively impacted our
properties, results of operations and stock price.
On October 12, 2010, we filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in New
Castle County against Transocean Holdings, LLC, Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling, Inc.,
Transocean Deepwater, Inc. and Triton Asset Leasing GmbH (collectively, Transocean). The lawsuit
alleges that Transocean, the owner of the drilling rig, was grossly negligent in the operation and
maintenance of the drilling rig and its equipment and in overseeing drilling activities on the rig
leading to the blowout of the well. We are seeking compensatory and punitive damages. On March 15,
2011, Judge Leonard Stark of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware issued
an order in our action against Transocean Holdings, LLC and its related entities agreeing with us
that the case must proceed in Delaware state court, not in federal court. Transocean appealed that
ruling to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which promptly dismissed the appeal. On March 25,
2011, Judge Carl Barbier of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana,
who is overseeing the federal multidistrict litigation against a number of the Deepwater Horizon
defendants, temporarily stayed our case against Transocean until he determines certain related
legal issues, which were scheduled for oral argument on May 26, 2011. On June
8, 2011, we filed a notice of appeal from Judge Barbiers order staying the Transocean action.

On August 4, 2010, we filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in New
Castle County against Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. (Halliburton). The lawsuit alleges that
Halliburton, the cementing contractor for the oil well, was grossly negligent in its management of
the well cementing process leading to the blowout of the well. We are seeking compensatory and
punitive damages.
On August 26, 2010, we filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in New
Castle County against M-I, L.L.C. (a/k/a M-I SWACO). The lawsuit alleges that M-I SWACO, the
drilling fluid contractor for the drilling rig, was grossly negligent in the way that it managed
and conducted the use of drilling fluids to maintain well control leading to the blowout of the
well. We are seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
On March 29, 2011, we voluntarily dismissed our separate actions against Halliburton Energy
Services, Inc. and M-I, L.L.C., and filed a new consolidated complaint against both entities in
Delaware Superior Court. Halliburton and M-I removed the consolidated action to Delaware federal
court, and we are now litigating whether this case, like the Transocean case, must proceed in state
court. On April 15, 2011, Judge Barbier in the Eastern District of Louisiana ruled that our prior
dismissal of the separate Halliburton and M-I actions was ineffective, and has restored those cases
to that courts docket. We have filed a petition for writ of mandamus with the Fifth Circuit Court
of Appeals seeking to overturn that order.
Shareholder Lawsuits
We have an ongoing securities class action lawsuit against St. Joe and certain of our current
and former officers pending before Judge Richard Smoak in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Florida (Meyer v. The St. Joe Company et al., No. 5:11-cv-00027). A
consolidated class action complaint was filed in the case on February 24, 2011 alleging
various securities laws violations primarily related to our accounting for our real
estate assets. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount in damages. On April 5, 2011, at the
request of the lead plaintiff, Judge Smoak issued an order dismissing the claims under the
Securities Act of 1933 and dismissing Deutsche Bank and the current and former director defendants
from the case. We filed a motion to dismiss the remaining claims under the case on April 6, 2011.
On March 29, 2011 and July 21, 2011, two separate derivative lawsuits were filed by shareholders on behalf of St. Joe
against certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Florida (Nakata v. Greene et. al., No. 5:11-cv-00090 and Packer v. Greene et al.,
No. 3:11-cv-00344). The complaints allege breaches
of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment arising from substantially
similar allegations as those described above in the Meyer case.
