THE ST.
JOE COMPANY
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations 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 interim
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Companys
latest Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position
as of September 30, 2007 and the results of operations for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007
and 2006 and cash flows for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006. The results of operations for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007
and cash flows for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year. The
December 31, 2006 balance sheet amounts have been derived
from our December 31, 2006 audited financial statements.
During 2006, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Pension
and Other Postretirement Plans An Amendment of
SFAS Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R
(SFAS 158). The adoption of SFAS 158
at December 31, 2006 resulted in the Company recording a
$(1.0) million transition adjustment to comprehensive
income in its Consolidated Statements of Changes in
Stockholders Equity. The transition adjustment should have
impacted the balance of accumulated other comprehensive income
but instead was presented as a reduction to comprehensive
income. The Company will revise and remove the transition
adjustment from comprehensive income on the Consolidated
Statements of Changes in Stockholders Equity for 2006 in
the Companys
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Stock-Based
Compensation
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company adopted the
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 revised 2004, Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R), which replaced Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), and
supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees (APB 25). Under the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, stock-based
compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the
fair value of the award and is typically recognized as expense
on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period,
which is the vesting period. The Company elected the
modified-prospective method of adoption, under which prior
periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The valuation
provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new grants that were
outstanding as of the effective date and are subsequently
modified. Estimated compensation for the unvested portion of
grants that were outstanding as of the effective dates is being
recognized over the remaining service period using the
compensation cost estimated for the SFAS 123 pro forma
disclosures. Additionally, the 15% discount at which employees
may purchase the Companys common stock through payroll
deductions is being recognized as compensation expense. Upon
exercise of stock options or granting of non-vested stock, the
Company will issue new common stock.
Stock
Options and Non-Vested Restricted Stock
The Company has four stock incentive plans (the 1997 Stock
Incentive Plan, the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, the 1999 Stock
Incentive Plan and the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan), whereby
awards may be granted to certain employees and non-employee
directors of the Company in the form of restricted shares of
Company common stock or options to purchase Company common
stock. Awards are discretionary and are determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards vest
based upon service conditions. Option and share awards provide

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as
defined in the award agreements). The total amount of restricted
shares and options originally available for grant under each of
the Companys four plans was 8.5 million shares,
1.4 million shares, 2.0 million shares, and
3.0 million shares, respectively. Non-vested restricted
shares generally vest over requisite service periods of
three-year or four-year periods, beginning on the date of each
grant, but are considered outstanding under the treasury stock
method. Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price
equal to market price of the Companys stock at the date of
grant. The options vest over requisite service periods and are
exercisable in equal installments on the first through fourth or
fifth anniversaries, as applicable, of the date of grant and
generally expire 7-10 years after the date of grant.
The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option pricing
model to determine the fair value of stock options. The
determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on
the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by
the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of
other variables. These variables include expected stock price
volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected
employee stock option exercise behaviors (term of option),
risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.
The Company estimates the expected term of options granted by
incorporating the contractual term of the options and analyzing
employees actual and expected exercise behaviors. The
Company estimates the volatility of its common stock by using
historical volatility in market price over a period consistent
with the expected term and other factors. The Company bases the
risk-free interest rate that it uses in the option valuation
model on U.S. Treasuries with remaining terms similar to
the expected term on the options. The Company uses an estimated
dividend yield in the option valuation model when dividends are
anticipated.
Presented below are the per share weighted-average fair value of
stock options granted during the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, using the Black Scholes
option-pricing model, along with the assumptions used.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options
exercisable as of September 30, 2007 was $2.6 million
and $2.6 million, respectively. In computing compensation
expense from share-based payments as of September 30, 2007,
the Company has estimated that 135,645 options of the 171,703
unvested options outstanding are expected to vest. The aggregate
intrinsic value of such options expected to vest was zero at
September 30, 2007. The intrinsic value is calculated as
the difference between the market value as of September 30,
2007 and the grant date fair value. The closing price as of
September 30, 2007 was $33.61 per share as reported by the
New York Stock Exchange.
Cash received for strike prices from options exercised under
share-based payment arrangements for the nine month periods
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $4.1 million and
$6.5 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized
for the tax deductions from options exercised under stock-based
arrangements totaled $1.3 million and $2.3 million for
the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.

The fair value of restricted stock is determined based upon the
fair value of the Companys common stock on the date of
grant.
The total fair value of restricted stock that vested was
$4.7 million and $6.4 million for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, and
$9.1 million and $11.0 million for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recognized
the estimated compensation cost of non-vested restricted stock
over the vesting term. The estimated compensation cost is based
on the fair value of the Companys common stock on the date
of grant. The Company will continue to recognize the
compensation cost over the requisite service period.
As of September 30, 2007, there was $11.9 million of
unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated
forfeitures, related to non-vested stock-based compensation
arrangements. This cost includes $3.1 million related to
stock option grants and $8.8 million of non-vested
restricted stock which will be recognized over a weighted
average period of four years.
Employee
Stock Purchase Plan
In November 1999, the Company implemented an employee stock
purchase plan whereby all employees may purchase the
Companys common stock through monthly payroll deductions
at a 15% discount from the fair market value of its common stock
at each month end, with an annual limit of $25,000 in purchases
per employee.
Earnings
(Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net
income (loss) by average number of common shares outstanding for
the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing
net income by the average number of common shares outstanding
for the period including all potentially dilutive shares
issuable under outstanding stock options and non-vested
restricted stock, using the treasury stock method. Stock options
and non-vested restricted stock are not considered in the
diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation when the Company
has a loss from continuing operations. The anti-dilutive stock
options and non-vested restricted stock excluded from the
computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share totaled 146,384
and 267,361, respectively, for the three months ended
September 30, 2007.

Derivative
Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, as amended (SFAS 133).
SFAS 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives,
as defined, as either assets or liabilities at fair value. If
the derivative is designated as a hedge, depending on the nature
of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will
either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged
assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or
recognized as a component of comprehensive income until the
hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion
of the derivatives change in fair value will be
immediately recognized in earnings. The Company uses derivative
instruments to manage its exposure to market risks from changes
in interest rates and does not hold or issue derivative
instruments for speculative or trading purposes
On September 27, 2007, the Company entered into a
45 day forward starting interest rate swap contract
with Wachovia Bank to minimize the risk that the interest rate
component relating to a notional principal amount of a
then-forecasted issuance of $25.6 million of notes may be
adversely affected by interest rate fluctuations (see
note 3). This derivative instrument is not designated as a
hedge and changes in the fair value of this derivative
instrument are recognized in earnings as gain (loss) on
derivative contracts.
On May 3, 2007, we sold our mid-Atlantic homebuilding
operations, primarily operating under the name Saussy Burbank.
The sales price was $76.3 million, consisting of
$36.0 million in cash and approximately $40.3 million
in seller financing. The remaining balance outstanding on the
seller financing at September 30, 2007 was
$33.8 million.
On June 1, 2007, St. Joe Timberland Company, a wholly owned
subsidiary, sold 33,035 acres of timberlands located
primarily in Stewart County, Georgia for a sales price of
$46.4 million. The entire sales price was paid in the form
of two notes receivable maturing on June 1, 2022 and
bearing interest at 5.668% payable
semi-annually.
The notes are fully supported by irrevocable letters of credit
from Wachovia Bank. On July 11, 2007, the installment notes
and irrevocable letters of credit were transferred to a
qualifying special purpose entity (QSPE) as a
capital contribution. On July 11, 2007 the QSPE issued in a
private placement notes payable in the amount of
$41.8 million bearing interest at 5.9% due and maturing in
2022. The QSPE used the proceeds of such issuance to pay
$41.8 million to St. Joe Timberland Company as a return of
capital.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 140)
defines the criteria for QSPEs and their treatment within
consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the assets and
debt of the QSPE are not required to be and have not been
consolidated on the Companys balance sheet at
September 30, 2007.
The Company recorded a loss of $1.2 million on the
monetization of the notes receivable through the QSPE. The
amount of loss is determined based on the original carrying
value of the notes, allocated between the assets monetized and
the retained interest based on their relative fair value at the
date of monetization. The Companys retained interest
consists principally of net excess cash flows (the difference
between the interest received on the notes receivable and the
interest paid on the debt issued to third parties) and a cash
reserve account. Fair value of the retained interest is
estimated based on the present value of future excess cash flows
to be received over the life of the notes, using
managements best estimate of key assumptions, including
credit risk and discount rates. The balance of the retained
interest is reflected in other assets at September 30, 2007.

(Continued)
On September 27, 2007, St. Joe Timberland Company sold
19,989 acres of timberlands located primarily in Wakulla
and Jefferson counties, Florida for a sales price of
$28.5 million. The entire sales price was paid in the form
of a note receivable maturing on September 27, 2022 and
bearing interest at 5.622% payable
semi-annually.
The note is fully supported by an irrevocable letter of credit
from Wachovia Bank. In November 2007, the Company plans to
transfer the installment note and irrevocable letter of credit
to a QSPE as a capital contribution. The QSPE is expected to
issue in a private placement a note payable in the amount of
$25.6 million bearing interest at 6.044% and maturing in
2023. The QSPE will use the proceeds of such issuance to pay
approximately $25.6 million to St. Joe Timberland Company
as a return of capital.

Treasury Securities

On August 7, 2007, the Company closed the sale of one of
the remaining two buildings in its office building portfolio.
Approximately $29.3 million of mortgage debt was defeased
in connection with the sale. The defeasance transaction resulted
in the establishment of a defeasance trust and deposit of
proceeds of $31.1 million which will be used to pay down
the related mortgage debt (see note 12). The proceeds were
invested in government backed securities which were pledged to
provide principal and interest payments for the mortgage debt
previously collateralized by the commercial building. These
amounts have been included in the Companys consolidated
balance sheet at September 30, 2007. The Company has
classified the defeasance trust investment as held-to-maturity
because the Company has both the positive intent and the ability
to hold the securities to maturity. Accordingly, the Company has
recorded the investment at cost, adjusted for the amortization
of a premium which approximates market value.
During late 2006 and early 2007, the Company implemented certain
corporate organizational changes designed to position the
Company for the years ahead. The Company announced that it was
exiting the Florida homebuilding business to focus on maximizing
the value of its landholdings through place making. The Company
also eliminated certain redundancies among its field and
corporate operations, and put in place a regional management
structure to oversee its various product lines. The charges
associated with the restructuring and reorganization program
(program) by segment that are included in the
restructuring charge for the nine months ended

On October 8, 2007, the Company announced a restructuring
of its business to enhance and accelerate the Companys
value creation process. The plan includes the divestiture of
non-core assets, a significant reduction in capital
expenditures, a leaner operating structure and an increased
focus on the use of strategic business partners. As a result,
the Company expects to take a charge to earnings of
approximately $7.0 million. Approximately one-half of the
total charges are expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter
of 2007, with substantially all of the remaining charges to be
recognized in 2008. The charges to be incurred will be primarily
termination benefits to employees.

Dispositions

On April 30, 2007, the Company entered into a Purchase and
Sale Agreement for the sale of the Companys office
building portfolio, consisting of 17 buildings. On June 20,
2007, the Company closed on the sale of 15 of the 17 properties
in the office building portfolio for a cash price of
$277.5 million. In the aggregate, the transaction resulted
in a pre-tax gain of $48.6 million, of which the Company
realized $45.3 million, net of a deferred gain of
$3.3 million on a sale leaseback arrangement with three of
the properties. Income from and the gain associated with these
three properties have been included in continuing operations due
to the Companys continuing involvement as a lessee. The
Company expects to incur continuing cash out flows related to
these three properties over the next five years. The sale of the
remaining two office buildings closed on August 7, 2007 for
a sale price and pre-tax gain of $56.0 million and
$6.5 million, respectively, and September 19, 2007,
for a sale price and pre-tax gain of $44.0 million and
$3.7 million, respectively. The income/loss from and gain
on the remaining 14 buildings of the office building portfolio
are reflected in discontinued operations below.
Building sales included in discontinued operations for 2006 also
include the operating results of Nextel II sold on
December 20, 2006, One Crescent Ridge sold on
September 29, 2006, and Prestige Place One & Two
sold on June 28, 2006. The sales of Crescent Ridge and
Prestige Place One & Two resulted in a pre-tax gain of
$10.6 million and $4.4 million, respectively.
On May 3, 2007, the Company sold its mid-Atlantic
homebuilding operations, primarily operating under the name
Saussy Burbank, to an investor group based in Charlotte, North
Carolina. The sales price was $76.3 million, consisting of
$36.0 million in cash and approximately $40.3 million
in seller financing, the majority of which is

Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and
Equity
|
In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity
(SFAS 150). SFAS 150 requires
companies having consolidated entities with specified
termination dates to treat minority owners interests in
such entities as liabilities in an amount based on the fair
value of entities. Although SFAS 150 was originally
effective July 1, 2003, the FASB has indefinitely deferred
certain provisions related to the classification and measurement
requirements for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments
that become subject to SFAS 150 solely as a result of
consolidation, including minority interests of entities with
specific termination dates. The Company has one consolidated
entity with a specified termination date: Artisan Park, L.L.C.
(Artisan Park). At September 30, 2007, the
carrying amount of the minority interest in Artisan Park was
$6.7 million, which approximated fair market value. The
Company has no other material financial instruments that are
affected by SFAS 150.

Included in operating property are Company-owned amenities
related to residential real estate, the Companys
timberlands and land and buildings developed by the Company and
used for commercial rental purposes. Development property
consists of residential real estate land and inventory currently
under development to be sold. Investment property primarily
includes the Companys land held for future use.
Depreciation expense from continuing operations reported on real
estate was approximately $7.8 million and $8.1 million
in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
On August 16, 2007, the Company purchased the Greg
Norman-designed Sharks Tooth Golf Club, 28 fully-developed
home-sites, additional land parcels and beach and tennis club
facilities in the Wild Heron community near Panama City Beach,
Florida for approximately $30.0 million. The acquisition is
being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and
as such, the results of operations are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition,
in the residential real estate segment. The acquisition was
recorded by allocating the cost of the assets acquired,
including liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Homes and
home-sites substantially completed and ready for sale are
measured at lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to
sell. For projects under development, an estimate of future cash
flows on an undiscounted basis is performed using estimated
future expenditures necessary to maintain the existing service
potential of the project and using managements best
estimates about future sales prices and holding periods. The
overall decrease in demand and market prices for residential
real estate indicates that certain carrying amounts within our
residential real estate segment may not be recoverable. As a
result of the third quarter 2007 impairment analysis, the
Company recorded an impairment charge of $13.0 million in
the residential real estate segment.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related
costs over the value assigned to net tangible and identifiable
intangible assets of businesses acquired and accounted for under
the purchase method of accounting. The Company announced on
October 8, 2007 its plan to dispose of Sunshine State
Cypress mill and mulch plant as part of its restructuring plan.
The Companys current estimate of fair value based upon
market analysis indicates that goodwill would not be
recoverable. Accordingly, the Company has recorded an impairment
charge of $7.4 million to reduce the goodwill carrying
value of Sunshine State Cypress to zero in the forestry segment
during the third quarter 2007.

On June 20, 2007, the Company closed the sale of 15 of the
17 properties in its office building portfolio. The Company
retired approximately $52.9 million of mortgage debt in
connection with the sale of these buildings. On August 7,
2007, the Company closed the sale of one of the remaining two
buildings in its office building portfolio

(Continued)
and approximately $29.3 million of mortgage debt was
defeased in connection with the sale. The defeasance transaction
resulted in the establishment of a defeasance trust and deposit
of proceeds of $31.1 million which will be used to pay down
the related mortgage debt (see note 4). The Company
purchased treasury securities sufficient to satisfy the
scheduled interest and principal payments contractually due
under the mortgage debt agreement. The cash flows from these
securities have interest and maturity payments that coincide
with the scheduled debt service payments of the mortgage note
and ultimate payment of principal. The treasury securities were
then substituted for the office building that originally served
as collateral for the mortgage debt. These securities were
placed into a collateral account for the sole purpose of funding
the principal and interest payments as they become due. The
indebtedness remains on the Companys consolidated balance
sheet at September 30, 2007 since the transaction was not
considered to be an extinguishment of debt.
On September 19, 2007, the Company closed the sale of the
remaining building in its office building portfolio. The
purchase price included the assumption of approximately
$28.5 million of mortgage debt by the buyer.

In February 2007, the Company increased the size of its
revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility) to
$500 million. None of the material terms of the Credit
Facility were changed in connection with the expansion. Proceeds
from the increased Credit Facility have been and will be used
for the repayment of debt maturing in 2007, development and
construction projects and general corporate purposes.
In June 2007, the Company amended its Credit Facility to
favorably adjust the financial covenant addressing the fixed
charge coverage ratio. In July 2007, the Company also entered
into amendments to its 2002 and 2005 senior notes making the
same adjustments to their fixed charge covenants.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the
U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company
adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48),
on January 1, 2007.
The Company had approximately $128.3 million of total
unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007. Of this
total, approximately $41.5 million represents the amount of
unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the
effective income tax rate. In addition, the Company has accrued
approximately $11.3 million (net of tax benefit) in
interest at January 1, 2007. There were no penalties
required to be accrued at January 1, 2007. The Company
recognizes interest
and/or
penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently examined the federal
income tax returns of the Company for the years 2000 through
2004. At the end of March 2007, the Company effectively settled
its contested tax positions with the IRS. This settlement
resulted in an additional amount owed for 2000 through 2004 tax
years of approximately $83.2 million, which had previously
been accrued under SFAS 109 and SFAS 5. This amount
includes estimated interest of approximately $16.7 million
(before tax benefit). This settlement with the IRS resulted in
an income tax benefit during the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, of approximately $3.1 million to
adjust amounts previously accrued to the agreed upon amounts.
Since the information about the settlement with the IRS was not
available at the implementation date of FIN 48 or at the
time of filing of the Companys
Form 10-K
for 2006, the effect has been recognized in net income for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2007 and was not
reflected in a cumulative effect adjustment upon the adoption of
FIN 48. Tax years 2005 and 2006 remain subject to
examination. The Company does not currently anticipate that the
total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly
increase or decrease within the next twelve months for any
additional items.
During the third quarter of 2007, we determined that our
effective state tax rate used in determining the tax effect on
the gain on discontinued operations recorded in the second
quarter should have been higher. The resulting $1.3 million
adjustment was recorded in the third quarter income tax expense
offset against the gain on sales of discontinued operations and
income taxes payable. Neither the origination nor the correction
was material to our financial statements.
The Company conducts primarily all of its business in four
reportable operating segments: residential real estate,
commercial real estate, rural land sales and forestry. The
residential real estate segment develops and sells home-sites
and now to a lesser extent homes, due to the Companys exit
from homebuilding. The commercial real estate segment sells
developed and undeveloped land. The rural land sales segment
sells parcels of land included in the Companys holdings of
timberlands. The forestry segment produces and sells pine
pulpwood, timber and other forest products.
The Company uses income from continuing operations before equity
in income of unconsolidated affiliates, income taxes and
minority interest for purposes of making decisions about
allocating resources to each segment and assessing each
segments performance, which it believes represents current
performance measures.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
described above in the summary of significant accounting
policies herein and in our
Form 10-K.
Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as
reported in the Companys consolidated income statements.
All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The segment
caption entitled Other consists of general and
administrative expenses, net of investment income.
The Companys reportable segments are strategic business
units that offer different products and services. Decisions
about allocations of resources are determined by management
based on these strategic business units. Effective
August 18, 2006, the implementation of strategy and
decisions is deployed through geographic-based managers.

The Company and its affiliates are involved in litigation on a
number of matters and are subject to various claims which arise
in the normal course of business, none of which, in the opinion
of management, is expected to have a material adverse effect on
the Companys consolidated financial position, results of
operations or liquidity. The Company has established estimated
accruals for its various litigation matters which meet the
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. However, it is
possible that the actual amounts of liabilities resulting from
such matters could exceed such accruals by several million
dollars.
The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with
respect to losses for third party liability, workers
compensation, property damage, group health insurance provided
to employees and other types of insurance.
At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the
Company was party to surety bonds of $45.0 million and
$64.3 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit
in the amounts of $22.7 million and $25.0 million,
respectively, which may potentially result in liability to the
Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.
19
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the
Company was not liable as guarantor on any credit obligations
that relate to unconsolidated affiliates or others in accordance
with FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors
Accounting and Disclosure Requirement for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.
The Company is subject to costs arising out of environmental
laws and regulations, which include obligations to remove or
limit the effects on the environment of the disposal or release
of certain wastes or substances at various sites, including
sites which have been previously sold. It is the Companys
policy to accrue and charge against earnings environmental
cleanup costs when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and an amount can be reasonably estimated. As
assessments and cleanups proceed, these accruals are reviewed
and adjusted, if necessary, as additional information becomes
available.
Pursuant to the terms of various agreements by which the Company
disposed of its sugar assets in 1999, the Company is obligated
to complete certain defined environmental remediation.
Approximately $6.7 million was placed in escrow pending the
completion of the remediation. The Company separately funded the
costs of remediation, which was substantially completed in 2003.
Completion of remediation on one of the subject parcels occurred
during the third quarter of 2006, resulting in the release of
approximately $2.9 million of the escrowed funds to the
Company on August 1, 2006. We expect the remaining balance
held in escrow to be released to the Company in 2008. The
release of escrow funds will not have any effect on our earnings.
The Companys former paper mill site in Gulf County and
certain adjacent property are subject to various Consent
Agreements and Brownfield Site Rehabilitation Agreements with
the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The paper
mill site has been assessed and has been rehabilitated by
Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation in accordance with these
agreements. The Company is in the process of rehabilitating the
adjacent property in accordance with these agreements.
Management does not believe the liability for any remaining
required rehabilitation on these properties will be material.
Other proceedings involving environmental matters are pending
against the Company. It is not possible to quantify future
environmental costs because many issues relate to actions by
third parties or changes in environmental regulation. However,
management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently
known matters will not have a material effect on the
Companys consolidated financial position, results of
operations or liquidity. Aggregate environmental-related
accruals were $3.3 million and $3.4 million as of
September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
|
Overview
The St. Joe Company is one of the largest real estate
development companies in Florida. We believe we have one of the
largest inventories of private land suitable for development in
Florida. The majority of our land is located in Northwest
Florida and has a very low cost basis. In order to optimize the
value of these core real estate assets, we seek to reposition
our substantial timberland holdings for higher and better uses.
We increase the value of our raw land assets through the
enhancement, entitlement, development and subsequent sale of
residential and commercial parcels, home-sites and housing units
or through the direct sale of unimproved land.
We have four operating segments: residential real estate,
commercial real estate, rural land sales and forestry.
Our residential real estate segment generates revenues from:
|
|
|
|
|
the sale of developed home-sites to retail customers and
builders;
|
|
|
|
the sale of parcels of entitled, undeveloped land;
|
|
|
|
the sale of housing units built by us;
|
|
|
|
rental income;
|
|
|
|
resort and club operations;
|
|
|
|
investments in limited partnerships and joint ventures; and
|
|
|
|
brokerage and title issuance fees on certain transactions within
our residential real estate developments.
|
Our commercial real estate segment generates revenues from the
sale of developed and undeveloped land for retail, multi-family,
office and industrial uses.
Our rural land sales segment generates revenues from:
|
|
|
|
|
the sale of parcels of undeveloped land; and
|
|
|
|
the sale of rural land with limited development.
|
Our forestry segment generates revenues from the sale of
pulpwood, timber and forest products
Our ability to generate revenues, cash flows and profitability
is directly related to the real estate market in Florida.
Economic, political and weather-related conditions could have
adverse effects on consumer buying behavior, construction costs,
availability of labor and materials, the cost and availability
of insurance, the availability of and changes in prices of fuel
and energy, and other factors affecting us and the real estate
industry in general and coastal real estate in particular.
Additionally, adverse pricing and unavailability of credit could
reduce the demand for home-sites we develop, particularly
primary home-sites, and commercial properties we develop or sell.
Sales of residential real estate slowed significantly beginning
in late 2005, and market conditions have continued to
deteriorate during 2007. As a result, inventories of resale
homes and home-sites have risen dramatically in our markets and
have negatively impacted sales of our products. Further, the
recent highly publicized problems in the mortgage lending
industry have led to higher interest rates and stricter credit
standards, which conditions have created additional negative
pressure on demand and consumer confidence in housing. At this
time, there is little visibility for when the market for
residential real estate will improve.
On October 8, 2007, the Company announced a restructuring
of its business to enhance and accelerate the Companys
value creation process. The plan includes the divestiture of
non-core assets, a significant reduction in capital
expenditures, the elimination of quarterly dividends, a leaner
operating structure and an increased focus on the use of
strategic business partners. The new operating structure will
consist of a lean corporate center focused on regional planning,
land-use entitlements, and business-to-business relationships
with strategic partners and customers. We will increase our
efforts to stimulate regional economic development and to
identify and manage key regional inducers. In connection with
this plan, approximately 500 employees in our hospitality,
recreational and
21
golf operations are being transferred to third-party leisure,
hospitality and lifestyle companies. Approximately
260 additional positions company-wide, particularly in
project development and related support staff, will be either
eliminated or transferred to strategic partners and customers by
the end of 2008.

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
23
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, 2006. There have been no
significant changes in these policies during the first nine
months of 2007, except for changes related to the accounting for
income taxes, as described below.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
(SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities
to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain
other items at fair value. The fair value option established by
SFAS 159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible
items at fair value at specified election dates. A business
entity shall report unrealized gains and losses, on items for
which the fair value option has been elected, in earnings at
each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are
currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159 on our
consolidated financial statements.
We adopted FIN 48 as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal
year. Additionally, in May 2007, the FASB published FASB Staff
Position
No. FIN 48-1,
Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48
(FSP
FIN 48-1),
amending FIN 48 and clarifying how an enterprise should
determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the
purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. As
of our adoption date of FIN 48, our accounting is
consistent with the guidance in FSP
FIN 48-1.
In June 2007, the EITF reached a consensus regarding EITF
Issue
No. 06-11
Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on
Share Based Payment Awards
(EITF 06-11).
EITF 06-11 states
that a realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend
equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and are paid
to employees for equity classified non-vested equity shares,
non-vested equity share units, and outstanding equity share
options should be recognized as an increase in additional
paid-in capital. The amount recognized in additional paid-in
capital for the realized income tax benefit from dividends on
those awards should be included in the pool of excess tax
benefits available to absorb potential future tax deficiencies
on share-based payment awards.
EITF 06-11
is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008.
We are currently evaluating the impact of
EITF 06-11
on our consolidated financial statements.
Results
of Operations
Net income decreased $12.8 million to a loss of
$(6.8) million, or $(0.09) per share, in the third quarter
of 2007, compared to $6.0 million, or $0.08 per share, for
the third quarter of 2006. We had a loss from continuing
operations, net of taxes, for the third quarter of 2007 of
$(11.9) million, or $(0.16) per share, which was offset by
after tax income from discontinued operations of
$5.1 million, or $0.07 per share, primarily related to the
sale of our office building portfolio. This compares to a loss
from continuing operations, net of taxes, for the third quarter
of 2006 of $(2.4) million, or $(0.03) per share, which was
offset by after tax income from discontinued operations of
$8.4 million, or $0.11 per share, primarily related to the
sale of office buildings. Net income for the first nine months
of 2007 was $38.2 million, or $0.51 per share, compared to
$28.7 million, or $0.39 per share, for the first nine
months of 2006. Results for the three month and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 reported in
discontinued operations include the operating results of 14 of
the 17 buildings in our commercial building portfolio, the
operations of our North Carolina based residential homebuilding
business, Saussy Burbank, and the operations of four commercial
buildings sold in 2006.
We report revenues from our four operating segments: residential
real estate, commercial real estate, rural land sales, and
forestry. Real estate sales are generated from sales of
home-sites and housing units, parcels of developed and
undeveloped land, and commercial buildings which are not
reported as discontinued operations. Rental revenue is generated
primarily from lease income related to our marina operations.
Timber sales are generated from the forestry segment. Other
revenues are primarily club operations from the residential real
estate segment.

The decreases in real estate sales revenue and cost of real
estate sales for the three month and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2007 compared to 2006 were primarily due to
lower sales volume and prices in our residential real estate
segment as a result of the current slowdown in the real estate
market. Despite these decreases, our gross margin percentage on
real estate sales increased during the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2007 compared to 2006 primarily
as a result of a change in mix to higher-margin rural land
sales. Timber sales and cost of timber sales increased for the
three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007
compared to 2006 primarily due to increased volume levels. Other
operating expenses included a $5.0 million termination fee
paid to a third-party management company in our residential real
estate segment. Other operating expenses decreased during the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 2006
primarily due to lower administrative costs subsequent to the
restructuring in our rural land sales segment. For further
discussion of revenues and expenses, see Segment Results below.
Corporate expense. Corporate expense,
representing corporate general and administrative expenses,
decreased $2.4 million or 21%, to $8.9 million in the
third quarter of 2007, from $11.3 million in the third
quarter of 2006. Corporate expense decreased $14.6 million,
or 36%, to $26.0 million in the first nine months of 2007,
from $40.6 million in the first nine months of 2006. The
decreases in corporate expense were primarily due to decreases
in total stock compensation costs of $0.8 million and bonus
expense of $0.8 million for the three month period ended
September 30, 2007 compared to 2006 and a decrease in total
stock compensation costs of $6.4 million for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2007 compared to 2006. Total
stock compensation decreased because the 2006 periods included
the accelerated amortization of restricted stock related to the
retirement of our former President COO, and there were fewer
overall share-based payment arrangement participants and
unvested outstanding stock options in 2007. Other general and
administrative expenses decreased approximately
$0.8 million and $8.2 million for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2007 compared to 2006,
respectively. The decrease in both cases was primarily a result
of an increase in corporate support service expenses charged to
other business segments, completion of our 2006 marketing
program and overall cost savings initiatives.
Impairment losses. The Company reviews its
long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Homes and home-sites substantially completed
and ready for sale are measured at the lower of carrying value
or fair value less costs to sell. For projects under
development, an estimate of future cash flows on an undiscounted
basis is performed using estimated future expenditures necessary
to maintain the existing service potential of the project and
using
25
managements best estimates about future sales prices and
holding periods. The overall decrease in demand and market
prices for residential real estate indicates that carrying
amounts within our residential real estate segment may not be
recoverable. As a result of our third quarter 2007 impairment
analysis, we recorded an impairment charge of $13.0 million
in the residential real estate segment. We announced on
October 8, 2007 our plan to dispose of Sunshine State
Cypress as part of our restructuring plan. Our current estimate
of its fair value based upon market analysis indicates that
goodwill would not be recoverable. Accordingly, we recorded an
impairment charge of $7.4 million to reduce the goodwill
carrying value of Sunshine State Cypress to zero in the forestry
segment. We also recorded an impairment charge of
$2.2 million to approximate fair value, less costs to sell,
related to our investment in Saussy Burbank which was sold
earlier this year, and is reported as part of our discontinued
operations.
Restructuring charge. Restructuring charges
include the write-off of capitalized homebuilding costs and
one-time termination benefits in connection with our exit from
the Florida homebuilding business and corporate reorganization.
We recorded a restructuring (benefit) charge of
$(0.4) million and $2.6 million in the three month and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively,
compared to a charge of $13.1 million in both the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2006. The
$(0.4) million benefit recognized in the third quarter of
2007 was due to certain employees forfeiting their one-time
termination benefits. None of the costs associated with our
restructuring plan announced on October 8, 2007, except for
the impact on the carrying value of assets, have been reflected
in the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2007. Such costs are expected to be charged beginning in the
fourth quarter of 2007 through 2008.
Other income (expense). Other income (expense)
consists of investment income, interest expense, gains on sales
and dispositions of assets, litigation expense, fair value
adjustments and other income. Total other income (expense) was
$(5.3) million and $(2.2) million for the three month
periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively,
and $(1.4) million and $(4.0) million for the nine
month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. Interest expense decreased $0.2 million
during the quarter 2007 compared to 2006 due to a decrease in
our senior note debt and increased $5.9 million during the
nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 compared to
2006 primarily as a result of an increase in average borrowings
in 2007 as well as less capitalized interest. Other income, net
decreased $4.1 million and increased $0.3 million
during the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2007, respectively. The decrease during the three month period
ended September 30, 2007 was primarily related to recording
a loss of $1.2 million related to the monetization of
installment notes receivable and $2.6 million related to a
contractor settlement within our residential real estate
segment. The year to date increase includes a receipt of a
$3.5 million insurance settlement relating to the defense
of an outstanding litigation matter in the first quarter of
2007. Gain on disposition of assets was $7.8 million during
the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 and
represents the gain associated with three of the 17 buildings
sold as part of our office building portfolio and in which we
had a continuing involvement as lessee.
Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated
affiliates. We have investments in affiliates
that are accounted for by the equity method of accounting.
Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates decreased
$2.6 million and $7.1 million in the three month and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
The decrease was primarily due to lower earnings from our
investments in residential joint ventures, Rivercrest and
Paseos, which are substantially sold out.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense
(benefit), including income tax on discontinued operations,
totaled $(1.3) million and $6.3 million for the three
month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, and $20.5 million and $21.0 million for
the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. We recorded total tax benefit of
$(1.3) million during the third quarter of 2007 against a
pretax loss of $8.1 million. However, our third quarter
2007 tax benefit would have been $(2.6) million except that
we recorded a $1.3 million adjustment because we determined
that the effective state tax rate we used in computing the tax
effect on the gain on discontinued operations recorded in the
second quarter should have been higher by that amount. Our tax
rate was 51% for the three month period ended September 30,
2006. Our tax rate was 35% and 42% for the nine month periods
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our year
to date tax rate was higher in 2006 primarily as a result of
recognizing interest expense on uncertain tax positions as a tax
expense. Recently, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examined
our federal income tax returns for the years 2000 through 2004.
We effectively settled with
26
the IRS in March 2007 with regards to our contested tax
positions. This settlement resulted in an income tax benefit
during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, of approximately
$3.1 million for amounts previously reserved.
Discontinued Operations. Income from
discontinued operations primarily consists of the results
associated with the sales of our office building portfolio and
Saussy Burbank. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax,
totaled $5.1 million and $8.4 million for the three
month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, and $31.0 million and $13.7 million for
the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. See the Residential Real Estate and Commercial
Real Estate sections below for further details on discontinued
operations.
Segment
Results
Residential
Real Estate
Our residential real estate segment develops large-scale,
mixed-use resort, primary and seasonal residential communities,
primarily on land we own with very low cost basis. We own large
tracts of land in Northwest Florida, including significant Gulf
of Mexico beach frontage and waterfront properties, and land
near Jacksonville, in Deland and near Tallahassee.
Residential sales slowed significantly beginning in late 2005
and market conditions have continued to deteriorate during 2007.
As a result of the slowdown, inventories of resale homes and
home-sites have risen dramatically in our markets. Through the
first nine months of 2007 high resale inventory levels continued
to negatively impact sales of our products in our markets.
Further, the recent highly publicized problems in the mortgage
lending industry have led to higher interest rates and stricter
credit standards, which conditions have created additional
negative pressure on demand and consumer confidence in housing.
At this time, there is little visibility for when the market for
residential real estate will improve.
For the third quarter 2007 we recorded impairments totaling
$13.0 million. Approximately $5.2 million of the
impairments related to capitalized costs at certain projects due
to changes in development plans, and approximately
$7.8 million related primarily to completed spec homes in
several communities due to current adverse market conditions for
residential real estate.
During the third quarter 2006, we announced that we are exiting
the Florida homebuilding business to focus on master-planning,
entitlements and maximizing the value of our landholdings
through place making. Under our Florida homebuilding exit plan,
our internal homebuilding operations will wind down by mid-2008.
We are continuing to develop our relationships with national,
regional and local developers and homebuilders. We have executed
purchase and option contracts with several national and regional
homebuilders for the purchase of developed lots in various
communities. These transactions involve land positions in
pre-development phases of our communities as well as phases
currently under development. These transactions provide
opportunities for us to accelerate value realization, while at
the same time decreasing capital intensity and increasing
efficiency in how we deliver primary real estate to the market.
We expect national and regional developers and homebuilders to
be important business partners going forward.
On May 3, 2007 we sold our mid-Atlantic homebuilding
operations, known as Saussy Burbank (see Discontinued Operations
below).
The following is a description of some of our major communities
in Florida:
WaterColor is situated on approximately 499 acres on the
beaches of the Gulf of Mexico in south Walton County. The
community includes approximately 1,140 units, including an
11-unit
private residence club with fractional ownership. The community
includes the WaterColor Inn and Resort, the recipient of many
notable awards. Other amenities include a beach club, spa,
tennis center, an award-winning upscale restaurant, retail and
commercial space and neighborhood parks.
WaterSound Beach is located approximately five miles east of
WaterColor. Situated on approximately 256 acres, WaterSound
Beach includes over one mile of beachfront on the Gulf of
Mexico. This community is currently planned to include
approximately 511 units.
27
WaterSound West Beach is located approximately one-half mile
west of WaterSound Beach on the beach-side of County Road 30A.
This community has been designed for 199 units with private
beach access through the adjacent Deer Lake State Park.
WaterSound is situated on approximately 2,425 acres and
planned for a mixed-use resort community. It is located
approximately three miles from WaterSound Beach north of
U.S. 98 in Walton County. In addition to
1,432 residential units, WaterSound plans include
approximately 450,000 square feet of commercial space, a
6 hole golf course, pools, parks and other amenities.
RiverCamps on Crooked Creek is situated on approximately
1,491 acres in western Bay County bounded by West Bay, the
Intracoastal Waterway and Crooked Creek. The community is
planned for 408 high-quality finished cabins in a low-density,
rustic setting with access to various outdoor activities such as
fishing, boating and hiking.
WindMark Beach is situated on approximately 2,020 acres in
Gulf County near the town of Port St. Joe and includes
approximately 3.5 miles of beachfront. This beachfront resort
destination is planned to include approximately 1,662 units
and 75,000 square feet of commercial space.
SummerCamp Beach, in Franklin County, is situated on the Gulf of
Mexico on approximately 762 acres. Plans include
approximately 499 units, a beach club, a community dock and
nature trails.
SouthWood is situated on approximately 3,370 acres in
southeast Tallahassee. Planned to include approximately 4,770
residential units, SouthWood includes an 18-hole golf course and
club, and a traditional town center with restaurants,
recreational facilities, retail shops and offices. Over 35% of
the land in this community is designated for open space,
including a
123-acre
central park.
RiverTown is situated on approximately 4,170 acres located
in St. Johns County south of Jacksonville along the St. Johns
River. With parks and public meeting places, RiverTown is being
planned for 4,500 housing units and 500,000 square feet of
commercial space. RiverTown is designed to have seven unique
neighborhoods interwoven with community and retail areas by a
series of bike paths and walkways, with all roads leading to the
communitys centerpiece, the St. Johns River. The
community will offer homebuyers a wide variety of price points
and lifestyles, appealing to several different target markets,
including primary and second-home buyers.
Victoria Park is situated on approximately 1,859 acres in
Volusia County near Interstate 4 in the historic college town of
Deland between Daytona Beach and Orlando. Plans for Victoria
Park include approximately 4,200 single and multi-family
units built among parks, lakes and conservation areas. Victoria
Park includes an award-winning 18-hole golf course.
Artisan Park, located in Celebration, near Orlando, was
developed through a joint venture in which we own 74%. Artisan
Park is situated on approximately 175 acres which we
acquired in 2002. Artisan Park includes approximately 267
single-family units, 47 townhomes, and 302 condominium units as
well as parks, trails and a community clubhouse with a pool.
Several of our planned developments are in the midst of the
entitlement process or are in the planning stage. We cannot
assure you that:
|
|
|
|
|
the necessary entitlements for development will be secured;
|
|
|
|
any of our projects can be successfully developed, if at
all; or
|
|
|
|
our projects can be developed in a timely manner.
|
It is not feasible to estimate project development costs until
entitlements have been obtained. Large-scale development
projects can require significant infrastructure development
costs and may raise environmental issues that require mitigation.

Revenues and costs of sales associated with multi-family units
and Private Residence Club (PRC) units under
construction are recognized using the percentage-of-completion
method of accounting. Revenue on contracted units is recognized
in proportion to the total costs incurred in relation to
estimated total costs. If a deposit is received for less than
10% for a multi-family or PRC unit, percentage-of-completion
accounting is not utilized. Instead, the full accrual method is
used, which requires recognition of revenue when sales contracts
are closed. All deposits are non-refundable (subject to a
15-day
rescission period as required by law), except for non-delivery
of the unit. In the event a contract does not close for reasons
other than non-delivery, we are entitled to retain the deposit.
In such instances, the revenue and cost of sales related to the
previously recorded contract is reversed. Revenues and cost of
sales associated with multi-family units where construction has
been completed before contracts are entered into and deposits
made are recognized on the full accrual method of accounting as
contracts are closed.
Our townhomes are attached residences sold individually along
with the underlying parcel of land. Revenues and cost of sales
for our townhomes are accounted for using the full accrual
method. These units differ from multi-family and PRC units, in
which buyers hold title to a unit (or in the case of PRC, a
fractional share of a unit) within a building and an interest in
the underlying land held in common with other building
association members.
Profit is deferred on home-site sales when required development
is not complete at the time of the sale. Currently, we are
deferring a portion of profit from home site sales at WaterSound
West Beach and SummerCamp Beach. Home site sales are recorded at
the time of closing, but a portion of revenue and gross profit
on the sales at those communities is deferred in proportion to
required development not yet completed in relation to total
required development costs and recognized by the
percentage-of-completion method as the work is completed. From
project inception to date, remaining unrecognized deferred
profit at WaterSound West Beach was $0.5 million, which is
expected to be recognized over the next year. At SummerCamp
Beach, $8.9 million of deferred profit remains to be
recognized, which we expect to recognize over the next several
years.

At RiverCamps on Crooked Creek the required infrastructure was
completed in the second quarter 2007 and all deferred profit
related to the required development had been recognized.
Real estate sales include sales of homes and home-sites. Cost of
real estate sales for homes and home-sites includes direct costs
(e.g., development and construction costs), selling costs and
other indirect costs (e.g., construction overhead, capitalized
interest, warranty and project administration costs).

The overall decreases in the amounts of real estate sales and
gross profit were due primarily to a decrease in primary home
closings and home site closings in various communities as a
result of adverse market conditions. The increase in the overall
gross profit margin percentage is due to a change in the mix of
home and home site sales.
The following table sets forth home and home site sales activity
by geographic region and property type, excluding Rivercrest,
Paseos and East San Marco, three 50% owned affiliates that
are not consolidated and are accounted for using the equity
method of accounting.

Our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities included
WaterColor, WaterSound Beach, WaterSound, WaterSound West Beach,
WindMark Beach, RiverCamps on Crooked Creek and SummerCamp
Beach, while primary communities included Hawks Landing,
Palmetto Trace, The Hammocks and SouthWood. In Northeast Florida
the only primary community with sales activity was St. Johns
Golf and Country Club. The Central Florida communities included
Artisan Park and Victoria Park, both of which are primary.
In our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities, third
quarter 2007 gross profit margins on home sales were
comparable with third quarter 2006 while the gross profit margin
from home-site sales were slightly higher at 63% compared to 58%
in 2006. Homes and homesite revenues decreased as compared to
the same period in 2006 primarily due to fewer homesite closings
in 2007. Gross profit margin remained stable due to the sale of
one high margin unit in 2007.
In our Northwest Florida primary communities, home closings,
revenues and gross profit decreased in the third quarter of 2007
as compared to the same period in 2006 due primarily to our exit
from Florida homebuilding and adverse market conditions.
Homesite closings and gross profit decreased slightly in the
third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter 2006.
In our Northeast Florida communities, closed units, revenues and
gross profit decreased in the third quarter of 2007 as compared
to the same period in 2006 since St. Johns Golf and Country Club
is nearing its completion. Future home-site product will become
available in Northeast Florida at RiverTown, where sales began
in the fourth quarter of 2007.
In our Central Florida communities, the gross profit on total
home sales decreased to $0.6 million in the third quarter
of 2007 from $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2006. The
decrease was due to a decline in unit closings resulting
primarily from our exit from Florida homebuilding and adverse
market conditions. Home-site closings, revenue and gross profit
decreased in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the same
period in 2006 as a result of adverse market conditions.
Other revenues included revenues from the WaterColor Inn and
WaterColor vacation rental program, other resort and club
operations, management fees and brokerage activities. Other
revenues were $12.1 million in the third quarter of 2007
with $11.9 million in related costs, compared to revenues
totaling $11.0 million in the third quarter of 2006 with
$12.9 million in related costs. The reduction in costs was
achieved by improved processes and increased productivity.
Other operating expenses included salaries and benefits,
marketing, project administration, support personnel and other
administrative expenses. Other operating expenses were
$15.0 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared to
$13.8 million in the third quarter 2006. The increase was
primarily due to the recording of a $5.0 million
termination fee paid to a third-party management company during
the third quarter of 2007 as well as an increase in corporate
support service cost allocations and less capitalized costs due
to our exit from homebuilding.
We recorded a restructuring charge (benefit) in our residential
real estate segment of $(0.4) million in the third quarter
of 2007 in connection with our exit from the Florida
homebuilding business and corporate reorganization compared to
$11.9 million in 2006. The benefit was primarily related to
certain employees forfeiting their one-time termination benefits.
Other income (expense) included a $2.6 million expense for
a claim settled in September, 2007 with a contractor at
WaterSound.

The overall decreases in real estate sales and gross profit were
due primarily to a decrease in primary home closings in various
communities primarily as a result of adverse market conditions.
The increase in the overall gross profit margin is due to a
change in the mix of home and home-site sales.
The following table sets forth home and home site sales activity
by geographic region and property type, excluding Rivercrest,
Paseos and East San Marco, three 50% owned affiliates that
are not consolidated and are accounted for using the equity
method of accounting.

Our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities included
WaterColor, WaterSound Beach, WaterSound, WaterSound West Beach,
WindMark Beach, RiverCamps on Crooked Creek and SummerCamp
Beach, while primary communities included Hawks Landing,
Palmetto Trace, The Hammocks and SouthWood. In Northeast Florida
the only primary community was St. Johns Golf and Country Club.
The Central Florida communities included Artisan Park and
Victoria Park, both of which are primary.
In our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities, for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 revenues and gross
profit increased due primarily to the sale of a higher priced
beach front home in WaterSound Beach. The number of home site
closings for the nine months ended September 30, 2007
decreased from the same period in 2006 due primarily to adverse
market conditions. Revenues from home site sales increased to
$23.0 million and the gross profit increased to
$15.5 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2007 from $22.1 million and $13.8 million,
respectively, in the same period for 2006 due primarily to the
2007 sales of higher-margin beachfront lots in each of the
WaterColor and WaterSound Beach communities.
In our Northwest Florida primary communities, home closings,
revenues and gross profit decreased for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006
due primarily to our exiting the Florida homebuilding business
and adverse market conditions. Townhome revenues and the number
of townhomes closed decreased for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006
as we have closed most of the townhomes previously offered for
sale in these communities. Home site closings and gross profit
increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as
compared to the same period in 2006 due primarily to increased
closings in SouthWood and Hawks Landing resulting from our
expanding relationships with national and regional homebuilders.
In our Northeast Florida communities, closed units, revenues and
gross profit decreased for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006
since St. Johns Golf and Country Club is nearing its completion.
Future home site product will become available in Northeast
Florida at RiverTown, where sales began in the fourth quarter of
2007.
In our Central Florida communities, the gross profit on
single-family home sales decreased to $2.5 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to
$22.0 million in the same period in 2006 due to decreased
unit closings resulting primarily from our Florida homebuilding
exit and adverse market conditions. The gross profit recognized
using percentage-of-completion accounting on multi-family
residences decreased significantly for the nine months ended
September, 30 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 as the
multi-family residences at Artisan Park were substantially
completed in 2006 even though 28 units closed in the first
nine months of 2007. Home site closings and revenue decreased
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared with
the same period in 2006 due to adverse market conditions.
Townhome closings, revenues and gross profit decreased due to
lack of available product.
Other revenues included revenues from the WaterColor Inn and
WaterColor vacation rental program, other resort and club
operations and brokerage activities. Other revenues were
$31.5 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 with $31.4 million in related costs, compared to
revenues totaling $30.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 with $32.9 million in related costs.
Other operating expenses included salaries and benefits,
marketing, project administration, support personnel and other
administrative expenses. Other operating expenses increased to
$39.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 from $36.0 million for the same period 2006. The
increase was primarily due to the recording of a
$5.0 million termination fee with a third-party management
company during the third quarter of 2007 as well as an increase
in corporate support service cost allocations and less
capitalized costs due to our exit from homebuilding.
We recorded a restructuring charge in our residential real
estate segment of $0.8 million in the first nine months of
2007 in connection with our exit from the Florida homebuilding
business and corporate reorganization, compared to
$11.9 million in 2006. The 2007 charge included
$0.7 million related to the write-off of capitalized
homebuilding costs and $0.1 million related to one-time
termination benefits for affected employees.
Other income (expense) included a $2.6 million expense for
a claim settled in September 2007 with a contractor at
WaterSound.

Discontinued
Operations
On May 3, 2007, we sold our mid-Atlantic homebuilding
operations, primarily operating under the name Saussy Burbank,
to an investor group based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The
sales price was $76.3 million, consisting of
$36.0 million in cash and approximately $40.3 million
in seller financing, the majority of which is secured by home
inventory and is payable over eighteen months. The results of
Saussy Burbank have been reported as discontinued operations in
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007
and 2006. Included in 2007 pre-tax income is a $2.2 million
impairment charge to approximate fair value, less costs to sell,
of the sale of Saussy Burbank.
The table below sets forth the operating results of our
discontinued operations of Saussy Burbank for the three month
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

prices reflected a change in the mix of commercial land sold in
each period, with varying compositions of retail, office, light
industrial, multi-family and other commercial uses. Included in
the year to date 2007 results were sales of four parcels
primarily in Texas considered non-core holdings totaling
$4.4 million for a gross profit of $1.0 million.
Dispositions
of Assets
On April 30, 2007, we entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement for the disposition of our seventeen-building office
portfolio, containing approximately 2.25 million net
rentable square feet, for $383 million. On June 20,
2007, we closed the sale of 15 of the 17 properties for a sales
price of $277.5 million. As discussed earlier, three of the
15 buildings have been reported in continuing operations and the
remaining 12 have been reported in discontinued operations. The
sale of one of the remaining two office buildings closed on
August 7, 2007 for a sales price of $56.0 million. The
sale of the final office building closed on September 19,
2007 for a sales price of $44.0 million. The operating
results of these two buildings have been presented as
discontinued operations.
The results of the three buildings reported in continuing
operations are shown in the following table:

Rural
Land Sales
Our rural land sales segment markets for sale tracts of land of
varying sizes for rural recreational, conservation, residential
and timberland uses. The rural land sales segment at times
prepares land for sale for these uses through harvesting,
thinning and other silviculture practices, and in some cases,
limited infrastructure development.

Land sales in the third quarter of 2007 included the sale of
approximately 20,000 acres in northwest Florida for
$28.5 million, or $1,425 per acre. Land sales in the nine
month period ended September 30, 2007 also included the
sale of 33,035 acres in southwest Georgia for
$46.4 million or $1,405 per acre and 26,943 acres in
Liberty and Gadsden counties for $34.5 million, or $1,281
per acre. After analysis of the physical characteristics and
location of the land, we determined that it would take a
significant amount of time and effort before we would be able to
realize a higher and better value on these particular parcels.
Cost of sales increased during the nine month period ended
September 30, 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to a
higher cost basis associated with the sale of our southwest
Georgia property, which we purchased in 2005.
We continually evaluate the pricing and timing of land sales
based upon a careful analysis of the present value of the land.
In October 2007, we announced that we are marketing for sale
approximately 100,000 acres that currently fit our criteria for
harvesting value.
Average sales prices per acre vary according to the
characteristics of each particular piece of land being sold and
their highest and best use. As a result, average prices will
vary from one period to another.

Three
Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
Total revenues increased $2.3 million, or 32%, in the third
quarter of 2007 compared to the comparable period in 2006. Total
sales under our fiber agreement with Smurfit-Stone Container
Corporation were $3.5 million (195,000 tons) in 2007 and
$3.3 million (172,000 tons) in 2006. Sales revenue related
to our fiber agreement remained stable despite the increase in
volumes due to lower average pricing. Sales to other customers
totaled $4.4 million (258,000 tons) in 2007 as compared to
$2.7 million (166,000 tons) in 2006. The increase in
revenue and tons for outside customers was attributed to dryer
weather conditions, an increase in harvest tons and, to a lesser
extent, an increase in sales prices. Revenues from the mill
operation were $1.6 million in 2007 and $1.3 million
in 2006. The increase was due to increased bagged and bulk mulch
sales related to new customers.
Cost of sales for the third quarter of 2007 increased
$1.5 million, or 28%, when compared to 2006. Cost of sales
as a percentage of revenues were 72% in 2007 and 74% in 2006.
Cost of sales for the mill operation were $1.3 million, or
81% of revenues, in 2007 and $1.0 million, or 77% of
revenues, in 2006. The increase in cost of sales was due to
increased consumption of raw materials and bagging supplies
related to higher mulch sales and increased repair and
maintenance costs.
Other income decreased $0.2 million during the second
quarter 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in
hunting club lease revenue as a result of two large land sales
during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
On October 8, 2007 we announced our plan to dispose of
Sunshine State Cypress as part of our restructuring plan. Our
current estimate of fair value based upon market analysis
indicates that its goodwill would not be recoverable.
Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of
$7.4 million to reduce the goodwill carrying value of
Sunshine State Cypress to zero during the third quarter 2007.
Nine
Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
Total revenues increased $2.4 million, or 10%, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 2006. Sales
under the fiber agreement were $10.0 million (561,000 tons)
in 2007 and $9.8 million (521,000 tons) in 2006. Sales
revenues related to our fiber agreement remained stable despite
the increase in volumes due to lower average pricing. Sales to
other customers totaled $9.4 million (538,000 tons) in the
first nine months of 2007 as compared to $9.2 million
(491,000 tons) in 2006. Dry weather conditions and additional
loggers have increased our ability to harvest more tons
resulting in increased revenues. Revenues for the mill operation
increased to $6.5 million in 2007 compared to
$4.5 million in 2006 primarily due to an increased customer
base.
38
Cost of sales increased $2.6 million, or 15%, in 2007
compared to 2006. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues were
77% in 2007 and 74% in 2006. The increase was primarily related
to increased cut and haul costs due to hauling additional timber
to Smurfit-Stone and additional road maintenance costs. Cost of
sales for the mill operation were $5.6 million, or 86% of
revenues, in 2007 compared to $3.9 million, or 87% of
revenues, in 2006. The increase in cost of sales was primarily a
result of an increase in sales demand and increased repair and
maintenance costs.
Other income decreased $0.7 million during in 2007. The
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in hunting club lease
revenue related to two large land sales earlier this year and
decreased fill dirt sales due to a construction slowdown
resulting from adverse market conditions.
Year-to-date results for 2007 also include the $7.4 million
impairment charge related to Sunshine State Cypress described
above.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We generate cash from:
|
|
|
|
|
Operations;
|
|
|
|
Sales of land holdings, other assets and subsidiaries;
|
|
|
|
Borrowings from financial institutions and other debt; and
|
|
|
|
Issuances of equity, primarily from the exercise of employee
stock options.
|
We use cash for:
|
|
|
|
|
Operations;
|
|
|
|
Real estate development, construction and homebuilding;
|
|
|
|
Repurchases of our common stock;
|
|
|
|
Payments of dividends;
|
|
|
|
Repayments of debt;
|
|
|
|
Payments of taxes; and
|
|
|
|
Investments in joint ventures and acquisitions.
|
We have recently announced a restructuring plan designed to
significantly adjust our capital investment plans. We believe
our restructuring plan will allow us to increase our financial
flexibility over time by significantly reducing capital
expenditures, decreasing selling, general and administrative
expenses, divesting non-core assets, lowering debt and
eliminating our current dividend. Management believes we have
adequate resources to fund ongoing operating requirements and
future capital expenditures related to our planned level of
investment in real estate developments.
Cash
Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operations was $225.4 million and
$217.7 million in the first nine months of 2007 and 2006,
respectively. During such periods, expenditures relating to our
residential real estate segment were $189.1 million and
$492.2 million, respectively. Expenditures for operating
properties of commercial land development and residential club
and resort property development in the first nine months of 2007
and 2006 totaled $13.1 million and $24.7 million,
respectively,
The expenditures for operating activities relating to our
residential real estate and commercial real estate segments were
primarily for site infrastructure development, general amenity
construction, construction of single-family homes, construction
of multi-family buildings and commercial land development.
Residential and commercial site infrastructure development and
general amenity construction spending will be determined
primarily by market conditions. Multi-family building
construction will be dependent on pre-sale requirements being
met. Also,
39
due to our exit from homebuilding in Florida and the sale of
Saussy Burbank, total expenditures for single-family home
construction in the future are expected to decline to an
immaterial amount.
As part of our restructuring plan we will limit our capital
investments by shifting more development to a range of
best-of-class strategic business partners that include branded
builders, project developers, venture partners, alliances and
key long-term customers. Capital investment for horizontal
developments will be limited to our most strategic and valuable
places. In 2008, we expect our capital expenditures to be less
than $90 million.
Our current income tax payable was $7.1 million at
September 30, 2007 and $9.9 million at
December 31, 2006, respectively. Our net deferred income
tax liability was $84.1 million and $211.1 million at
September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
respectively. The change in our deferred tax accounts was
primarily a result of the reversal of deferred tax gains related
to the sale of our office building portfolio. In addition, we
made $189.0 million in tax payments through the first nine
months of 2007, inclusive of $86.0 million related to an
IRS settlement for the years 2000 through 2004 in the first
quarter of 2007. The disposition of our office building
portfolio has also required us to make significant estimated tax
payments during 2007.
Our accrued liabilities were $74.0 million and
$123.5 million at September 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively. The decrease was primarily
attributed to the settlement of a $39.0 million tax
liability, which was part of our IRS examination as discussed
above and in Note 14 to our consolidated financial
statements.
In the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we sold
33,035 acres in southwest Georgia. In connection with this
sale we recorded two installment notes in the aggregate amount
of $46.4 million. These notes were monetized in July 2007
for $41.4 million in cash.
Cash
Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was
$327.8 million and $36.4 million in the first nine
months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
On April 30, 2007, we entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement for the disposition of our seventeen-building office
portfolio, containing approximately 2.25 million net
rentable square feet, for $383 million. On June 20,
2007, we closed the sale of 15 of the 17 properties in the
office building portfolio for a sale price of
$277.5 million. The sale of one of the remaining two office
buildings closed on August 7, 2007 for a sales price of
$56.0 million, consisting of cash proceeds of approximately
$26.7 million and the defeasance of approximately
$29.3 million of mortgage debt. The sale of the final
office building closed on September 19, 2007 for a sales
price of $44.0 million, consisting of cash proceeds of
approximately $16.6 million (including the return of
certain tenant reserves and deposits) and the assumption of
$28.5 million in mortgage debt. Net proceeds from these
transactions have been and will be used to pay taxes and pay
down debt.
On May 3, 2007, we sold our mid-Atlantic homebuilding
operations, primarily operating under the name Saussy Burbank.
The sales price was $76.3 million, consisting of
$36.0 million in cash and approximately $40.3 million
in seller financing. The remaining balance outstanding on the
seller financing at September 30, 2007 was
$33.8 million. Net proceeds from this transaction have been
and will be used to pay taxes and pay down debt.
Cash
Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was
$(127.5) million and $0.4 million in the first nine
months of 2007 and 2006, respectively. At September 30,
2007, we had approximately $194.4 million of debt maturing
in less than one year. We used the cash proceeds from the sales
of our mid-Atlantic homebuilding operations and office building
portfolio to pay down debt.
As a result of our restructuring plan, we have eliminated our
quarterly dividend and we plan to return capital to shareholders
through our share repurchase program over time. The elimination
of the dividend will result in annual cash savings of
approximately $45.0 million to $50.0 million.
As previously discussed, we monetized notes receivable in July
2007 for $41.4 million in cash. Proceeds from the
transaction were used to pay down debt. On September 28,
2007, we sold approximately 20,000 acres in northwest
Florida. In connection with this sale we recorded an installment
note in the amount of $28.5 million. This
40
note is expected to be monetized in November 2007 for
approximately $25.6 million in cash. Proceeds from this
transaction will also be used to pay down debt.
Our $500 million senior revolving credit facility (the
Credit Facility), which matures in July 2009, bears
interest based on leverage levels at LIBOR plus an applicable
margin in the range of 0.4% to 1.0%. The balance outstanding was
$90.0 million and $60.0 million at September 30,
2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Proceeds from the
Credit Facility have been and will be used for the repayment of
debt maturing in 2007, development and construction projects and
general corporate purposes.
The Credit Facility contains financial covenants including
maximum debt ratios and minimum fixed charge coverage and net
worth requirements. In June 2007 we amended the Credit Facility
to favorably adjust the financial covenant addressing the fixed
charge coverage ratio to provide for a four quarter, instead of
a two quarter, calculation. This change better reflects the
lumpy nature of our quarterly earnings. We were in compliance
with the covenants of the Credit Facility at September 30,
2007.
Senior notes issued in private placements had an outstanding
principal amount of $240.0 million at September 30,
2007 and $307.0 million at December 31, 2006. During
the first quarter 2007, we paid $67.0 million related to
our Series B 2002 notes, which matured on February 7,
2007. The proceeds of the senior notes were used to finance
development and construction projects, as well as for general
corporate purposes. These senior notes have financial
performance covenants similar to those in the Credit Facility.
In July 2007, we entered into amendments to our 2002 and 2005
senior notes making the same adjustments to the fixed charge
covenant as described above for the Credit Facility. We were in
compliance with the covenants of these senior notes at
September 30, 2007.
We have also used community development district
(CDD) bonds to finance the construction of
infrastructure improvements at six of our projects. The
principal and interest payments on the bonds are paid by
assessments on, or from sales proceeds of, the properties
benefited by the improvements financed by the bonds. We record a
liability for future assessments which are fixed or determinable
and will be levied against our properties. In accordance with
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue
91-10,
Accounting for Special Assessments and Tax Increment Financing,
we have recorded as debt $72.7 million and
$43.1 million related to CDD bonds as of September 30,
2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
We are currently considering a number of alternatives to further
enhance financial flexibility including the negotiation of an
additional amendment to the financial covenants of our Credit
Facility and senior notes, capital-market transactions and the
acceleration of non-strategic rural land sales.
Our Board of Directors has authorized a total of
$950.0 million for the repurchase of our outstanding common
stock from shareholders from time to time (the Stock
Repurchase Program), of which $103.8 million remained
available at September 30, 2007. There is no expiration
date for the Stock Repurchase Program, and the specific timing
and amount of repurchases will vary based on available cash,
market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors.
From the inception of the Stock Repurchase Program in 1998 to
September 30, 2007, we have repurchased from shareholders
27,945,611 shares. During the nine month period ended
September 30, 2007, we did not repurchase any shares from
shareholders compared to 948,200 shares repurchased in the
nine month period ended September 30, 2006.
Executives have surrendered a total of 2,304,717 shares of
our stock since 1998 in payment of strike prices and taxes due
on exercised stock options and vested restricted stock. During
the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
executives surrendered a total of 51,158 and 74,601 shares,
respectively, as payment for strike prices and taxes due on
exercised stock options and vested restricted stock.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, we sold
33,035 acres of timberland in exchange for
15-year
installment notes receivable in the amount of
$46.4 million, which installment notes are fully backed by
letters of credit issued by a third party financial institution.
We contributed the installment notes to a bankruptcy-remote,
qualified special purpose entity (QSPE) established
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. The QSPEs
results are not consolidated in our financial statements.
41
The QSPE monetized the installment notes by issuing debt
securities to third party investors equal to approximately 90%
of the value of the installment notes and distributed
approximately $41.8 million to us. The debt securities are
payable solely out of the assets of the QSPE and proceeds from
the letters of credit. The QSPE investors have no recourse to
the Company for payment of the debt securities. We recorded a
retained interest with respect to the QSPE of $3.7 million,
which value is an estimate based on the present value of future
cash flows to be received over the life of the installment
notes, using managements best estimate of key assumptions,
including credit risk and interest rates. We deferred
approximately $37.5 million of tax gain through this
QSPE / installment sale structure.
Contractual
Obligations and Commercial Commitments
We had debt obligations of $540.6 million and
$627.1 million outstanding at September 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively. At September 30,
2007, we had $194.4 million of debt due within the next
year. The decrease in outstanding debt obligations is primarily
related to the pay down and assumption of debt related to the 17
buildings we sold in the second and third quarter of 2007 and of
our Credit Facility. We had contractual purchase obligations of
$69.6 million and $128.2 million outstanding at
September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
respectively. These aggregate purchase obligation amounts
include individual contract amounts in excess of
$2.0 million.
There have been no other material changes in the amounts of our
contractual obligations and commercial commitments presented in
our
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006, during the first nine
months of 2007.
|
|
Item 3.
|
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|
As of September 30, 2007, the balance outstanding under our
Credit Facility was $90.0 million. This debt accrues
interest at different rates based on the timing of the loan
contracts under the facility and our preferences, but generally
will be based on either one, two, three or six month London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a LIBOR margin
in effect at the time of each contract. The debt potentially
subjects us to interest rate risk relating to the change in
LIBOR rates. If LIBOR had been 100 basis points higher or
lower throughout the nine months ended September 30, 2007,
the effect on net income over the same time period with respect
to interest expense on the Credit Facility would have been a
respective decrease or increase in the amount of
$1.6 million pre-tax ($1.0 million net of tax).
There have been no other material changes to the quantitative
and qualitative disclosures about market risk set forth in our
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006, during the first nine
months of 2007.
|
|
Item 4.
|
Controls
and Procedures
|
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered
by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of
the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in bringing to their
attention on a timely basis material information relating to the
Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be
included in the Companys periodic filings under the
Exchange Act.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls. During the quarter ended
September 30, 2007, there were no changes in our internal
controls that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal controls over financial
reporting
42
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
|
|
Item 1.
|
Legal
Proceedings
|
See Part I, Item 1, Note 8, Contingencies.
We have revised the following risk factor from that set forth in
our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006:
Increases
in interest rates and the availability of mortgage financing
could reduce demand for our products.
Many purchasers of our real estate products obtain mortgage
loans to finance a substantial portion of the purchase price,
including the construction price of a home that may be
constructed on the property. Further, our homebuilder customers
depend on purchasers who rely on mortgage financing. In general,
housing demand is adversely affected by increases in interest
rates and by decreases in the availability of mortgage
financing. The uncertainties created by recent events in the
sub-prime mortgage market and their impact on the overall
mortgage market, including the increase in interest rates and
the tightening of credit standards, could adversely affect the
ability of prospective purchasers of home-sites and homes to
obtain financing. These conditions could adversely affect
potential purchasers of our products, including our homebuilder
customers, thus preventing potential customers from purchasing
our products.
In addition, changes in the federal income tax laws which would
remove or limit the deduction for home mortgage interest could
have an adverse impact on demand for our residential products.
In addition to residential real estate, increased interest rates
and restrictions in the availability of credit could also
negatively impact sales of our commercial properties or other
land we offer for sale. If interest rates increase and the
ability or willingness of prospective buyers to finance real
estate purchases is adversely affected, our sales, revenues,
financial condition and results of operations may be negatively
affected.
