Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits should not be reported as cash and cash equivalents.

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits should not be reported as cash and cash equivalents.

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation |
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 operations, as well as its timber
operations, are within the State of Florida.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting on
Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States 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, 2009 balance sheet amounts
have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2009 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2009. 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 period’s
presentation.
Correction of Prior Period Error
In the first quarter of 2010, the Company determined that approximately $2.6 million
($1.6 million net of tax) of stock compensation expense related to the acceleration of the service
period for retirement eligible employees should have been recognized in periods prior to 2010.
Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheet for December 31, 2009 has been adjusted to reduce
deferred income taxes, net, by $1.0 million and increase common stock by $2.6 million to reflect
the correction of this error, with a corresponding $1.6 million reduction recorded to retained
earnings. This correction is similarly reflected as an adjustment to common stock and retained
earnings as of December 31, 2009 in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. The
correction of this error also affected the consolidated statements of operations for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and consolidated statement of cash flows for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009. These corrections were not considered material to prior
period financial statements.
New Accounting Standards
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards
Update 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. 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 Company’s financial position or
results of operations.
In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) —
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (“ASU 2009-16”) and ASU 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic
810) — Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities
(“ASU 2009-17”). ASU 2009-16 formally codifies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, while ASU 2009-17 codifies
SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). ASU 2009-16 represents a revision to the
provisions of former SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities, and will require more information about transfers of financial
assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the
risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a “qualifying
special-purpose entity” (“QSPE”), changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and
requires additional disclosures. ASU 2009-17 represents a revision to former Financial
Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and
changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is
not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of
whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other
things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the
activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic
performance.
The updates require a number of new disclosures. ASU 2009-16 enhances information reported to
users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets
and an entity’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. ASU 2009-17 requires a
reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest
entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting entity
will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the
reporting entity’s financial statements. The updates to the Codification are effective at the
start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009, or January 1,
2010, for a calendar year-end entity. ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17 were adopted by the Company as
required on January 1, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17 did not have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Although the Company holds a
retained interest in bankruptcy remote entities that were previously considered QSPEs, the
financial position and results of such QSPEs are not consolidated in the Company’s financial
statements. The Company evaluated the accounting requirements of ASU 2009-17 and determined that
it would not be required to consolidate the financial position and results of the QSPEs as the
Company is not the primary decision maker with respect to activities that could significantly
impact the economic performance of the QSPEs, nor does the Company perform any service activity
related to the QSPEs.

Stock-Based Compensation and Earnings Per Share |
2. Stock-Based Compensation and Earnings Per Share
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.
Additionally, the 15% discount at which employees may purchase the Company’s common stock through
payroll deductions is being recognized as compensation expense. Upon exercise of stock options or
vesting of restricted stock, the Company will issue new common stock.
Service-Based Grants
A summary of service-based non-vested restricted share activity as of September 30, 2010 and
changes during the nine month period are presented below:
As of September 30, 2010, there was $2.2 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 grants 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
Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of certain peer
groups during a three year 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 requisite performance term of the
awards, the relative performance of the Company’s 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.
A summary of the activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is presented below:
As of September 30, 2010, there was $4.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted
for estimated forfeitures, related to market condition non-vested restricted shares which will be
recognized over a weighted average period of three years. At September 30, 2010, the Company has
accrued $0.8 million related to cash liability awards that may be payable to terminated employees
who had been granted market condition restricted shares.
Total stock-based compensation recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is as
follows:
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 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:
Approximately
0.1 million and 0.2 million shares were excluded from the computation of diluted
earnings (loss) per share during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively,
and 0.1 million and 0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, as the effect would have been anti- dilutive.

Fair value measurements |
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 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 September 30, 2010
Fair value as of December 31, 2009
During 2008 and 2007, the Company sold 79,031 acres and 53,024 acres, respectively, of
timberland in exchange for 15-year installment notes receivable in the aggregate amount of $108.4
million and $74.9 million, respectively. The installment notes are fully backed by irrevocable
letters of credit issued by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The Company contributed the installment notes
to bankruptcy remote QSPEs.
During 2008 and 2007, the QSPEs monetized $108.4 million and $74.9 million, respectively, of
installment notes by issuing debt securities to third party investors equal to approximately 90% of
the value of the installment notes. Approximately $96.1 million and $66.9 million in net proceeds
were distributed to the Company during 2008 and 2007, respectively. The debt securities are
payable solely out of the assets of the QSPEs and proceeds from the letters of credit. The
investors in the QSPEs have no recourse against the Company for payment of the debt securities or
related interest expense.
The QSPE’s financial position and results are not consolidated in the Company’s financial
statements as the Company is not the primary decision maker with respect to the activities that
could significantly impact the economic performance of the QSPEs, nor does the Company perform any
service activity related to the QSPEs.
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 Company’s continuing involvement with the QSPEs 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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
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 with discount rates ranging from 2%-7%. 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
management’s 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 first
nine months of 2010 or 2009.
The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s retained interest in QSPEs:
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 Company’s results of operations and balance sheet.
On October 21, 2009, the Company entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Southwest
Airlines to facilitate the commencement of low-fare air service to the new Northwest Florida
Beaches International Airport. The Company has 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
specified break-even payments. There was no reimbursement required during the third quarter of
2010 and a carryover profit will be applied to the reimbursement calculation for the fourth quarter of 2010.
The agreement also provides that Southwest Airlines’ 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.
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 Airlines exceed $14.0 million in the first year of air
service or $12.0 million in the second year. Southwest Airlines may terminate the agreement if its
actual annual revenues attributable to the air service at the new airport are less than certain
minimum annual amounts established in the agreement.
The Company measured the associated standby guarantee liability at fair value based upon a
discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s best estimates of future cash flows to be paid
by the Company pursuant to the strategic alliance agreement. These cash flows are based on
numerous estimates including future fuel costs, passenger load factors, air fares, and seasonality.
The fair value of the liability could fluctuate up or down significantly as a result of changes in
assumptions related to these estimates and could have a material impact on the Company’s operating
results.
The Company carried a standby guarantee liability of $0.8 million at September 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009 related to this strategic alliance agreement. The Company reevaluates this
estimate quarterly.
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 management’s best estimates about future sales prices,
sales volume, sales velocity and holding
periods (level 3 inputs). In addition, the estimated length of
expected development periods, related economic cycles and inherent uncertainty with respect to
these projects, such as the impact of change in development plans and
the Company’s intent and ability to hold the projects through
the development period, could result in changes to these estimates. The Company’s 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 during the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 were as follows:
Long-lived
assets sold or held for sale with a carrying amount of $45.8 million were written
down to their fair value of $32.6 million, resulting in a loss
of $13.3 million, which was included
in impairment losses for the nine months ending September 30, 2009.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2010, impairment charges
related to the investment in real estate were $0.1 million.

Derivative Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments |
4. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815
-Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives,
as defined, as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The Company uses derivative instruments
to manage its exposure to cash flow risks inherent in its standby guarantee agreement with
Southwest Airlines and does not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative or trading
purposes.
As discussed in Note 3, the Company’s agreement with Southwest Airlines includes variable cost
components which could have a significant impact on the Company’s cash flows. Airline operators
are inherently dependent upon fuel to operate, and therefore, are effected by changes in jet fuel
prices. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company entered into a short-term financial
derivative instrument to mitigate any potential adverse impact which may result from an increase in
jet fuel costs. Specifically, the Company entered into a collar transaction in which the Company
purchased a call option and sold a put option against the underlying cost of jet fuel for a portion
of Southwest Airlines’ estimated fuel volumes. This derivative instrument is not designated as a
hedge and changes in the fair value of this derivative instrument are recognized in other, net on a
monthly basis. There was no initial net cost of the derivative contracts, and there was no gain or
(loss) recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

8. Restructuring
The Company announced on March 17, 2010 that it is relocating its corporate headquarters from
Jacksonville, Florida to its VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre to be developed adjacent to the new
Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in Bay County, Florida. The Company will also be
consolidating existing offices from Tallahassee, Port St. Joe and South Walton County into the new
location. The relocation is expected to be completed during 2011.
The Company has incurred and expects to incur additional charges to earnings in connection
with the relocation related primarily to termination and relocation benefits for employees, as well
as certain ancillary facility-related costs. Such charges have been and are expected to be
cash expenditures. Based on employee responses to the announced relocation, the Company
estimates that total relocation costs should be approximately
$5.5 million (pre-tax) of which $2.0
million was recorded in first nine months of 2010. 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. These estimates are based on
significant assumptions, such as home values and actual results could differ materially from these
estimates. In addition the Company estimates total cash termination benefits of approximately $2.2
million (pre-tax) of which $1.8 million was recorded in the
first nine months of 2010. Also, during the third quarter of 2010,
the Company purchased the home of an executive for $1.9 million.
The charges associated with the Company’s 2010 restructuring and reorganization program by
segment are as follows:

10. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors a cash balance defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all
of its salaried employees. A summary of the net periodic benefit expense follows:
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 $101.0 million, which was funded from the assets of
the Pension Plan on June 25, 2009 and included a premium to assume these obligations. The
transaction resulted in the transfer and settlement of pension benefit obligations of approximately
$93.0 million, which represented the obligation prior to the annuity purchase
for the affected retirees and vested terminated employees. In addition, the Company recorded
a non-cash settlement pre-tax charge to earnings during the third 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.
The Company remeasures its plan assets and benefit obligation at each December 31. As a
result of settlements and curtailments which occurred during the nine months ended September 30,
2010, the Company was required to remeasure its plan assets and benefit obligation as of September
30, 2010.

11. Income Taxes
The Company had approximately $1.4 million of total unrecognized tax benefits as of September
30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, none of which, if recognized, would materially affect its 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 $0.2 million and $0.3 million (net of tax
benefit) at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, related to uncertain tax
positions. There were no significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits including interest and
penalties during the third quarter of 2010, and the Company does not expect any significant changes
to its unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.
On March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “PPACA”) was signed
into law, and, on March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the
“HCERA” and, together with PPACA, the “Acts”), which makes various amendments to certain aspects of
the PPACA, was signed into law. The Acts effectively change the tax treatment of federal subsidies
paid to sponsors of retiree health benefit plans that provide prescription drug benefits that are
at least actuarially equivalent to the corresponding benefits provided under Medicare Part D.
The Company recognized a noncash charge of approximately $0.6 million during the quarter ended
March 31, 2010 to reduce deferred tax assets to reflect the change in the tax treatment of the
federal subsidy.
The change in the tax treatment of the federal subsidy only affects the application of tax law
to the Company’s prescription drug plans that are actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D and is
not expected to result in an increase in the pre-tax cost of providing such plans to its retirees
and employees.

12. Segment Information
The Company conducts primarily all of its business in four reportable operating segments:
residential real estate, commercial real estate, rural land sales and forestry. The residential
real estate segment develops and sells homesites and now, to a lesser extent, homes, following the
Company’s exit from homebuilding. The commercial real estate segment sells developed and undeveloped
land as well as leases land. The rural land sales segment primarily sells parcels of land included in the

Contingencies |
13. Contingencies
The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party
liability and property damage.
At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company was party to surety bonds of
$15.7 million and $28.1 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit in the amount of
$1.4 million which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the
Company are not met.
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 has recorded an $8.8 million
reserve in connection with a contract dispute involving the 1997
purchase of land for its former Victoria Park community. The Company
has appealed an adverse trial court decision in this matter to a Florida court of appeals.
The
Company is also subject to claims arising out of environmental laws and regulations.
These claims may include the obligation 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. Pending claims include the Company’s former paper mill
site in Gulf County, certain adjacent properties and other properties.
These claims may be subject to various Consent Agreements and Brownfield Site
Rehabilitation Agreements with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
The Company is in the process of
assessing and rehabilitating certain of its properties.
It
is the Company’s 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. Aggregate environmental-related accruals
were $1.6 million at September 30, 2010 and $1.7 million at December 31, 2009 respectively.
Although
in the opinion of management none of our litigation matters or governmental proceedings is
expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position,
results of operations or liquidity, it is possible that actual amounts of liabilities
resulting from such matters could be material.
On October 21, 2009, the Company entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Southwest
Airlines to facilitate the commencement of low-fare air service to the new Northwest Florida
Beaches International Airport. The Company has agreed to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs
losses on its service at the new airport during the first three years of service. See Note 3 for
further discussion of this standby guarantee.

Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract] | |
Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties |
14. 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.
Some of the Company’s 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 a number of 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.
There are not any other entity specific facts which currently cause the Company to believe
that the remaining notes receivable will be realized at amounts below their carrying values;
however, due to the slump in 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.
The Company’s real estate investments are concentrated in the State of Florida. A prolonged
slump in the Florida real estate market and the economy could have an adverse impact on the
Company’s real estate values.
The Company believes the large oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico from the Deepwater Horizon
incident had and will continue to have a negative impact on our properties, results of operations
and stock price and has created uncertainty about the future of the Gulf Coast region. The Company
has filed several lawsuits against the parties responsible for the oil spill seeking the recovery of
damages. The Company cannot be certain, however, of the amount of any recovery or the ultimate
success of its claims.

Description of any concentrations existing at the date of the financial statements that make an entity vulnerable to a reasonably possible, near-term, severe impact. The entity should inform financial statement users about the general nature of the risk associated with the concentration, and may indicate the percentage of concentration risk as of the balance sheet date. Disclosure of any financial instrument credit risk concentration also should indicate the maximum amount of loss that would be incurred upon complete failure of the counterparty to perform and the entity's collateral policies or other policies that limit the loss exposure.
