Explanatory Note

This Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by The St. Joe Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2007 (the “Original 8-K”), regarding the closing of the sale of 15 of the 17 properties in the Company’s office building portfolio. The information previously reported in the Original 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Form 8-K/A, except to the extent such information has been modified or amended as described herein.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On August 7, 2007, the Company closed the sale of one of the remaining two buildings in its office building portfolio to an affiliate of Eola Capital, LLC for $56.0 million. The Company received cash proceeds of approximately $26.7 million, and approximately $29.3 million of mortgage debt was defeased in connection with the sale. Additional information regarding the sale is set forth in our press release dated August 7, 2007, a copy of which is filed as exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits

(b) Pro forma financial information:

The pro forma consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2006 and notes thereto included in the Original 8-K were presented with adjustments to include all 17 buildings in the pro forma results as discontinued operations. After further analysis, the Company determined that it should reflect the income from three of the 17 buildings as “continuing operations” rather than “discontinued operations”, due to the significance of expected cash outflows in the form of rent payments that the Company will continue to recognize. As a result, the revised pro forma consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2006 included herein contains adjustments for discontinued operations that differ from those reported in the Original 8-K (See Note A to the pro forma consolidated statement of income for additional information).

A pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2007 and notes thereto are included herein. This pro forma balance sheet is presented as if the building sale described in Item 2.01 above had occurred as of June 30, 2007. Also, due to the change in accounting treatment described above, additional tenant improvements made to the buildings and other final accounting adjustments, the pro forma balance sheet included herein reflects a gain from the sale of the 15 buildings that closed on June 20, 2007 that differs from that reported in the Original 8-K. (See Note F to the pro forma consolidated balance sheet for additional information).

SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

The St. Joe Company
Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

On June 20, 2007, the Company closed the sale of 15 of the 17 buildings in its office building portfolio as described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 22, 2007. On August 7, 2007, the Company closed the sale of one of the remaining two buildings in the office building portfolio. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet is based upon the Company’s historical financial statements and gives effect to the August 7, 2007 sale. The sale of the remaining building is anticipated to close in the third quarter 2007.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2007 is presented as if the August 7, 2007 sale had been completed as of June 30, 2007. No unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 is presented since the income from the 14 buildings treated as discontinued operations was previously reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statement of income included in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2007. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2006 is presented as if the sale of all 17 buildings had occurred as of January 1, 2006.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2007.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the actual financial position of the Company would have been at June 30, 2007 assuming the transaction had been completed as set forth above, nor does it purport to represent the financial position of the Company in future periods.

Notes to pro forma consolidated balance sheet

(A)		On August 7, 2007, the Company closed the sale of one of the remaining two properties in the office building portfolio for a sales price of $56.0 million. The Company received net cash proceeds of $25.8 million related to the sale of the building.
(B)		In connection with the sale, the existing mortgage on the building was defeased. The defeasance transaction resulted in the establishment of a defeasance trust and deposit of proceeds for $31.2 million of which $29.3 million will be used to pay down the related mortgage debt. The proceeds were invested in government backed securities to fund the future debt payments as they become due. In addition, a liability adjustment has been recorded for $1.9 million and represents the excess premium associated with the debt defeasance transaction.
(C)		The Company had recorded all assets associated with the building as held for sale at June 30, 2007. The adjustment relates to the asset basis of the building sold. The remaining balance in assets held for sale represents the one remaining office building to be sold.
(D)		The Company has recorded deferred tax liabilities of $19.5 million related to the building. The income tax payable includes $21.9 million of tax due on gain on sale of which $19.5 million related to the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. The Company intends to pay the income tax payable in 2007 by borrowing on its revolving credit facility.
(E)		The Company had recorded all liabilities associated with the building as held for sale at June 30, 2007. The adjustment includes liabilities of $1.3 million outstanding at June 30, 2007 related to the office building sold and the defeasance of $29.3 million of mortgage debt. The remaining balance in liabilities held for sale is primarily made up of the $28.7 million of mortgage debt on the sale of the one remaining office building to be closed.
(F)		The Company has reflected a pre tax gain related to the sale of the office building of approximately $6.6 million ($4.1 million after tax).

          In our Form 8-K filed on June 22, 2007, the Company reported a preliminary pre-tax gain on the sale of the 15 properties closed on June 20, 2007 of approximately $53.5 million ($33.1 million after tax). The final pre-tax gain reported in our Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2007 was $48.6 million ($30.3 million net of tax), of which $3.3 million ($2.1 million net of tax) has been deferred due to sale leaseback transactions on three of the properties.

Notes to pro forma consolidated statement of income

(A)		On June 20, 2007, the Company completed the sale of 15 of the 17 properties in the office building portfolio. In addition, on August 7, 2007 the Company closed on the sale of one of the remaining two properties. The adjustment reflects the pre tax results of operations related to 14 of the 17 properties of the portfolio, including the one remaining office building with an anticipated closing in the third quarter 2007. In our Form 8-K filed on June 22, 2007, the Company included an adjustment to include all 17 buildings in the pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2006 as discontinued operations. After further analysis, the Company determined that it should reflect the income from three of the 17 buildings as “continuing operations” rather than “discontinued operations”, due to the significance of expected cash outflows in the form of rent payments that the Company will continue to recognize. As a result, the adjustments for discontinued operations reported in the accompanying pro forma income statement differ from those reported in the June 22, 2007 Form 8-K.
(B)		Adjustment reflects investment income earned on net proceeds invested.
(C)		Interest expense adjustment includes interest on mortgage debt related to 14 properties in the office building portfolio. In addition, interest expense includes an adjustment of $3.5 million related to interest on our revolving credit facility which was assumed to have been paid down with our purchase proceeds.
