Item 1.Business
As used throughout this Annual Report onForm 10-K, the terms “St. Joe,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” include The St. Joe Company and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.

St. Joe was incorporated in 1936 and is one of the largest real estate development companieslandholders in Florida. We own approximately 574,000573,000 acres of land concentrated primarily in Northwest Florida. Most of this land was acquired decades ago and, as a result, has a very low initial cost basis.basis, before development costs. Approximately 403,000 acres, or approximately 70 percent of our total land holdings, are within 15 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

We are engaged in town

In order to increase the value of these core real estate assets, we seek to reposition portions of our substantial timberland holdings for higher and resort development, commercial development and rural land sales. We also have significant interests in timber. Our four operating segments are:

• Residential Real Estate,
• Commercial Real Estate,
• Rural Land Sales, and
• Forestry.
We believe we have one of the largest inventories of private land suitable for development in Florida.better uses. We seek to create value in and/or increase demand for our land by securing entitlements for higher and better land-use entitlements,land-uses, facilitating infrastructure improvements, developing community amenities, undertaking strategic and expert land planning and development, parceling our land holdings in creative ways, and performing land restoration and enhancement. enhancement and promoting economic development.

We believe we are one of the fewhave four operating segments: residential real estate, development companies to have assembled the range ofcommercial real estate, financial, marketingrural land sales and regulatory expertise necessary to achieve a large-scale approach to real estate development.

Market Conditions and the Economy

Our business, financial condition and results of operations continued to be adversely affected during 20102011 by the ongoing real estate downturn and stagnant economyslow economic recovery in the United States in general, and Florida in particular.particular which have been deeper and more prolonged than originally anticipated. These adverse conditions include among others, minimal gains in employment and consumer confidence from recessionary levels, a large number of homes for sale or in various stages of foreclosure, increased regulation and decreased availability of mortgage loans, historically low housing starts, stagnant household income levels, and a slow recovery in business investments. This challenging environment has exerted negative pressure on the demand for all of our real estate products.

Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
In late April 2010, an

The oil drilling platform exploded and sankspill in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana releasing millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf. Northwest Florida beaches, including our beachfront properties in Walton County, experienced physical impacts from the oil spill. The ruptured oil well was permanently containedDeepwater Horizon incident which occurred in September 2010.

The oil spillmid-2010 has hadcontinued to have a negative impact on our properties resultsand has created uncertainty about the future of operationsthe Gulf Coast region. During 2010 and stock price. Uncertainty remainsinto 2011, concerns regarding the extent of the environmental damage from the oil and other pollutants that have been discharged into the Gulf continued to impact tourism and the durationgeneral real estate market in the Florida panhandle.

New Real Estate Investment Strategy

On January 25, 2012, we adopted a new real estate investment strategy, which is focused on reducing future capital outlays and employing new risk-adjusted investment return criteria for evaluating our properties and future investments in such properties. Pursuant to this new strategy, we intend to significantly reduce planned future capital expenditures for infrastructure, amenities and master planned community development and reposition certain assets to encourage increased absorption of the negative effects from the spill.such properties in their respective markets. As part of this repositioning, we expect properties may be sold in bulk in undeveloped or developed parcels, or at lower price points and over shorter time periods. We have engaged legal counsel to assist us with our effort to recover damages from the parties responsible for the oil spill. We cannot be certain, however, ofanticipate that the amount of any recovery orfuture capital expenditures associated with existing projects will be reduced by approximately $190 million, the ultimate successmajority of which was expected to be spent in the next 10 years. We believe this new investment strategy continues to build upon the successful cost reduction initiatives implemented in 2011 and positions us to i) increase our short and medium-term cash flow, ii) reduce our long-term risk and iii) maintain the strong cash position necessary to weather a tepid and uncertain real estate environment and to best exploit our substantial land resources. Additionally, reducing capital expenditures on existing projects will allow us to reallocate capital to potential investment opportunities which meet our new investment criteria.

In connection with implementing our new real estate investment strategy, we reassessed the carrying value of our claims.

real estate and determined that an impairment to record certain of our assets to fair value was necessary. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash charge for impairment in 2011 of $374.8 million. For further discussion, see Note 3, Impairments of Long-lived assets, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

VentureCrossings at the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport

The new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (the “Airport”) commenced commercial flight operations on May 23, 2010. The new airportAirport has been a catalyst to Northwest Florida; passenger traffic at the Airport has increased from 312,540 in 2009 to 869,389 in 2011, a 178% increase since its opening. The Airport is located on approximately 4,000 acres of land we donated withinin the West Bay Area Sector Plan (the “West Bay Sector”), one of the largest planned mixed-use developments in the United States. We own substantially all of the 71,000 acres in the West Bay Sector surrounding the airport,

Airport, including approximately 41,00039,000 acres dedicated to preservation. Our West Bay Sector land has initial entitlements for over 4 million square feet of commercial and industrial space and approximately 6,000over 16,000 residential units. In 2010, we launched VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre (“VentureCrossings”), a 1,000 acre commercial and industrial development adjacent to the Airport. A large commercial real estate services firm is working with us to market our land adjacent to the Airport for lease, sale or joint venture.

In 2011, we entered into a build-to-suit lease with ITT Corporation, our first tenant at VentureCrossings for a 105,000 square foot building on a 10.8 acre site. Construction is expected to be completed in late 2012 with rent commencing in early 2013. The lease has a ten-year term, with two five-year extensions

2011 Highlights

We entered into a $55.9 million agreement for the sale of a timber deed which gives the purchaser the right to harvest timber on specific tracts of land (encompassing 40,975 acres) over a maximum of 20 years.

We significantly reduced operating costs as part of our restructuring plan which is expected to save approximately $15 million to $18 million in operating expenses and corporate expenses on an annualized basis.

On April 12,

We sold 131 homesites for $10.6 million, at an average price of $81,000 per homesite.

We sold 9 acres of commercial land for $3.1 million, or over $363,000 per acre.

We sold 259 acres of rural land for $3.5 million, or $13,374 per acre.

We terminated our unused $125 million revolving line of credit facility at an annualized cost savings of $625,000.

We restructured our resorts and clubs operations which resulted in a positive gross margin related to those resort operations of $1.1 million.

We made available approximately 70,000 acres of timberland for multiple uses including timber management, which were previously held back from silviculture activities. The additional harvesting is expected to add an additional $1.5 million of gross margin annually.

We began collecting rental revenue from the build-to-suit lease with CVS Pharmacy in Port St. Joe and revenue from the three hundred space covered parking facility at the entrance to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport.

Residential Real Estate

Our residential real estate segment typically plans and develops mixed-use resort, primary and seasonal residential communities of various sizes, primarily on our existing land. We own large tracts of land in Northwest Florida, including significant Gulf of Mexico beach frontage and other waterfront properties and land in and around Jacksonville and Tallahassee.

Our new real estate investment strategy is focused on reducing future capital outlays and employing a risk adjusted investment return criteria for evaluating our properties and future investments in such properties. Pursuant

to this new strategy, we intend to significantly reduce planned future capital expenditures for infrastructure, amenities and master planned community development and reposition certain assets to encourage increased absorption of such properties in their respective markets. As part of this repositioning, we expect properties may be sold in bulk, in undeveloped or developed parcels, or at lower price points and over shorter time periods.

Currently, customers for our developed homesites include both individual purchasers and national, regional and local homebuilders. Going forward, we may also sell undeveloped land with significant residential entitlements directly to third-party developers or investors.

We focus on commercial development in Northwest Florida because of our large land holdings surrounding the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, along roadways and near or within business districts in the region. We provide development opportunities for national and regional retailers and our strategic partners in Northwest Florida. We also offer land for commercial and light industrial uses within large and small-scale commerce parks as well as a wide range of multi-family rental projects. We also develop commercial parcels within or near existing residential development projects.

In 2010, we launched VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre, a 1,000 acre commercial and industrial development adjacent to the new airport. CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. has been engaged to market the land in this project for lease, sale or joint venture.

On November 29, 2010, we executed a Master Airport Access Agreement with the Panama City-Bay County Airport and Industrial District regardingthrough-the-fence access at the new Northwest Florida BeachesBeach International Airport.

former paper mill property located in the City of Port St. Joe (Gulf County, Florida). Instead of a mixed-use residential and retail development as had been previously planned, we decided the highest and best use of this property is port-related industrial. We made this change after carefully assessing the potential this property has for port-related economic development and the multiplier affect such potential has to Gulf County and our assets in Gulf County. We are in the process of implementing this strategic change in various ways in order to fully reposition this property accordingly.

Residential Real Estate
Our residential real estate segment typically plans and develops mixed-use resort, seasonal and primary residential communities of various sizes, primarily on our existing land. We own large tracts of land in Northwest Florida, including large tracts near Tallahassee and Panama City, and significant Gulf of Mexico beach frontage and other waterfront properties, which we believe are suited for resort, seasonal and primary communities. We believe this large land inventory, with a low cost basis, provides us an advantage over our competitors who must purchase and finance real estate at current market prices before beginning projects.
We are continuing to devote resources to the conceptual design, planning, permitting and construction of certain key projects currently under development, and we will maintain this process for certain select communities going forward. The success of this strategy is dependent on our intent and ability to hold and sell these key projects in most cases, over a long-term horizon. We also plan to either partner with third parties for the development of new communities or sell entitled land to third-party developers or investors.
Currently, customers for our developed homesites include both individual purchasers and national, regional and local homebuilders. Going forward, we may also sell undeveloped land with significant residential entitlements directly to third-party developers or investors.
The following are descriptions of some of our current residential development projects 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 residential units, as well as the WaterColor Inn and Resort, the recipient of many notable awards. The WaterColor Inn and Resort is operated on our behalf by Noble House Hotels & Resorts, a boutique hotel ownership and management company with 13 properties throughout the United States. Other WaterColor amenities include a beach club, spa, tennis center, an award-winning upscale restaurant, retail and commercial space and neighborhood parks.
WaterSound West Beach is located approximately four miles east of WaterColor on the beach-side of County Road 30A. This community is situated on 62 acres and includes 199 units with amenities that include private beach access through the adjacent Deer Lake State Park and a community pool and clubhouse facility.
WaterSound Beach is located approximately five miles east of WaterColor and is planned to include approximately 511 units. Situated on approximately 256 acres, WaterSound Beach includes over one mile of beachfront on the Gulf of Mexico. The WaterSound Beach Club, a private, beachfront facility featuring a 7,000 square-foot, free-form pool and a restaurant, is located within the community.
WaterSound is situated on approximately 2,425 acres and is planned for 1,432 residential units and approximately 450,000 square feet of commercial space. It is located approximately three miles from WaterSound Beach north of U.S. 98 in Walton County. WaterSound includes Origins, a uniquely designed Davis Love III golf course, as well as a community pool and clubhouse facility.
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 homes in a low-density, rustic setting with access to various outdoor activities such as fishing, boating and hiking. The community includes the RiverHouse, a waterfront amenity featuring a pool, fitness center, meeting and dining areas and temporary docking facilities.
Breakfast Point is a new primary home community situated on approximately 132 acres located in Panama City Beach in Bay County. It is located approximately sixteen miles south of the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. We plan to initially develop 348 homesites and sell them to local and national home builders.
WindMark Beach is a beachfront resort community situated on approximately 2,020 acres in Gulf County near the town of Port St. Joe. Plans for WindMark Beach include approximately 1,516 residential units and 76,000 square feet of commercial space. The community features a waterfront Village Center that includes a restaurant, a community pool and clubhouse facility, an amphitheater and approximately 42,000 square feet of


6


commercial space. The community is planned to include approximately 14 miles of walkways and boardwalks, including a 3.5-mile beachwalk.
SummerCamp Beach is located on the Gulf of Mexico in Franklin County approximately 46 miles south of Tallahassee. The community is situated on approximately 762 acres and includes the SummerCamp Beach Club, a beachfront facility with a pool, restaurant, boardwalks and canoe and kayak rentals. Plans for SummerCamp Beach include approximately 499 units.
SouthWood is located 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 a123-acre central park.
RiverTown, situated on approximately 4,170 acres located in St. Johns County south of Jacksonville, is currently planned for 4,500 housing units and 500,000 square feet of commercial space. Phase I of RiverTown was re-launched in 2010, focusing on the first 800 units, and will feature an amenity center with pool, tennis courts and playing fields. The centerpiece of the community will be Riverfront Park, a58-acre nature park along the St. Johns River.
Commercial Real Estate
Our commercial real estate segment plans, develops and sells or leases real estate for commercial purposes. We focus on commercial development in Northwest Florida because of our large land holdings surrounding the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, along roadways and near or within business districts in the region. We provide development opportunities for national and regional retailers and our strategic partners in Northwest Florida. As part of our strategy to generate recurring revenues, we provide build-to-suit and ground leases to commercial users. We also offer land for commercial and light industrial uses within large and small-scale commerce parks as well as a wide range of multi-family rental projects. We also develop commercial parcels within or near existing residential development projects.
In 2010, we launched VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre, a 1,000 acre commercial development adjacent to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc., the world’s largest commercial real estate services firm is soliciting global office, retail and industrial users for this prime development location.
Similar to our residential projects, we seek to minimize our capital expenditures for commercial development by either partnering with third parties for the development of certain new commercial projects or selling entitled land to third-party developers or investors.
Rural Land Sales

Our rural land sales segment markets and sells rural land from our holdings primarily in Northwest Florida. Although the majority of the land sold in this segment is undeveloped timberland, some parcels include the benefits of limited development activity including improved roads, ponds and fencing. Our rural land sales segment also sells wetland mitigation credits to developersthird parties from our wetlands mitigation banks.

We sellhave traditionally sold parcels of varying sizes ranging from less than one acre to thousands of acres. The pricing of these parcels varies significantly based on size, location, terrain, timber quality and other local factors. We made a strategic decision in 2009 to sell fewer large tracts of rural land in order to preserve our timberland resources. We used this strategy during 2010In 2011, we continued to minimize the sale of rural land at today’s depressed prices and expect to continue this strategy in 2011.

2012.

In 2009, we began selling wetland mitigation credits to third parties from our two federal and state authorized wetland mitigation banks. We own and operate these two wetland mitigation banks and by conducting certain prescribed land management and timbering activities that enhance and restore the wetlands in these banks, we are allowed to sell credits that assist third parties in obtaining environmental permits from the federal and state regulatory authorities. Since 2009, we have sold credits to utility companies, developers, and institutional users for $1.9 million in revenue and an average price of approximately $69,000 per credit. The exact per credit price of each transaction varies depending on a number of factors. We have a total of 290 federal credits immediately available for use or sale and the ability to generate 1,100 additional credits.

The vast majority of the holdings marketed by our rural land sales segment will continue to be managed as timberland until sold. The revenues and income from our timberland operations are reflected in the results of our forestry segment.

Forestry

Our forestry segment focuses on the harvesting of our timber and management of our extensive timber holdings. Revenues are generated primarily through the sale of sawtimber and pulpwood, and land management services for conservation properties. Our principal forestry products are pine pulpwood and sawtimber logs.

In 2011, an inventory of all our pine plantations was completed and a new software platform was implemented to facilitate management of the rural land holdings on a sustainable basis with regard to asset and harvest levels. These initiatives for the forestry segment have enabled the marketing of products to more diverse customers and the focus on market development. This plan made available approximately 70,000 acres for multiple uses including timber management on land previously held back from silviculture activities.

On December 31, 2010,2011, the estimate of our standing inventory was approximately 16.816.5 million tons of pine and 5.43.0 million tons of hardwood. Our forestry staff plansoperations plan and overseesoversee our silvicultural activities, thinning and final harvest operations, and the reforestation of our timberlands. Silviculture, harvesting and road maintenance, and reforestation activities are conducted by local independent contractors under agreements that are generally renewed annually.

In November 2010,

On March 31, 2011, we entered into a new supply$55.9 million agreement with Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation that requires usfor the sale of a timber deed which gives the purchaser the right to deliverharvest timber on specific tracts of land (encompassing 40,975 acres) over a maximum term of 20 years. Unlike a pay-as-cut sales contract, risk of loss and selltitle to the trees transfer to the buyer when the contract is signed. The buyer pays the full purchase price when the contract is signed and we do not have any additional performance obligations. Under a totaltimber deed, the buyer or some other third party is responsible for all logging and hauling costs, if any, and the timing of 3.9 million tonssuch activity. Revenue from a timber deed sale is recognized when the contract is signed because the earnings process is complete. As part of pulpwood through 2017. In addition, we sell stumpage and delivered logs to other regional mills that produce products other than pulp, including lumber, wood pellet, and oriented strand board manufacturers. During the first four months of 2010,agreement, we also sold energy feedstockentered into a Thinnings Supply Agreement, pursuant to customers underwhich we agreed, to the Biomass Crop Assistance Program sponsored byextent that the federal government.

buyer decided to conduct a “First Thinning”, to purchase 85% of such first thinnings at fair market value. During 2011, we purchased approximately $1.2 million of first thinnings.

Supplemental Information

Information regarding the revenues, earnings and total assets of each of our operating segments can be found in Note 1715 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report. Substantially all of our revenues are generated from domestic customers. All of our assets are located in the United States.

Competition

The real estate development business is highly competitive and fragmented. With respect to our residential real estate business, our prospective customers generally have a variety of choices of new and existing homes and homesites near our developments when considering a purchase. As a result of the housing crisis over the past several years, the number of resale homes, lots and land on the market have dramatically increased, which further increases competition for the sale of our residential products.

We compete with numerous developers of varying sizes, ranging from local to national in scope, some of which may have greater financial resources than we have. We attempt to differentiate our products primarily on the basis of community design, quality, uniqueness, amenities, location and developer reputation.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

The following are what we believe to be the principal risks that could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies and prospects.

A continued downturn in the demand for real estate, combined with the increase in the supply of real estate available for sale and declining prices, will continue to adversely impact our business.

The United States housing market continues to experience a significant downturn. Florida, one of the hardest hit states, has experienced a substantial, continuing decline in demand in most of its residential real estate markets. The collapse of the housing market contributed to the recent recession in the national economy, which exerted further downward pressure on real estate demand. Significantly tighter lending standards for borrowers are also having a significant negative effect on demand. A record number of homes in foreclosure and forced sales by homeowners under distressed economic conditions are significantly contributing to the high levels of inventories of homes and homesites available for sale. The collapse of real estate demand and high levels of inventories havehas caused land and other real estate prices to significantly decline.

These adverse market conditions have negatively affected our real estate products. Revenues from our residential and commercial real estate segments have drastically declined in the past several years, which has had an adverse affecteffect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our lack of revenues reflects not only fewer sales, but also declining prices for our residential and commercial real estate products. We have also seen lower demand and pricing weakness in our rural land sales segment.

We do not know how long the downturn in the real estate market will last,last; whether it will worsen or when real estate markets will return to more normal conditions. Unemployment, lack of consumer confidence and other adverse consequences of the recent economic recession could significantly delay a recovery in real estate markets. Our business will continue to suffer until market conditions improve. If market conditions were to worsen, the demand for our real estate products could further decline, negatively impacting our earnings, cash flow, liquidity and financial condition.

A further downturn in national or regional economic conditions, especially in Florida, could adversely impact our business.

The recent collapse of the housing market and crisis in the credit markets resulted in a recession in the national economy, after which high unemployment, decreased levels of gross domestic product and significantly reduced consumer spending have persisted. During such times, potential customers often defer or avoid real estate purchases due to the substantial costs involved. Furthermore, a significant percentage of our planned residential units are resort and seasonal products, purchases of which are even more sensitive to adverse economic conditions. Businesses and developers are also less willing to invest in commercial projects during a recession. Our real estate sales, revenues, financial condition and results of operations have suffered as a result.

Florida, as one of the states hardest hit by the recent recession and lingering economic downturn, could take longer to recover than the rest of the nation. Our business is especially sensitive to economic conditions in Northwest Florida, where all of our developments are located, and the Southeast region of the United States, which in the past has produced a high percentage of customers for the resort and seasonal products in our Northwest Florida communities.

We expect the prolonged effects of the recent recession to continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business is concentrated in Northwest Florida. As a result, our long-term financial results are largely dependent on the economic growth of Northwest Florida.

The economic growth of Northwest Florida, where most of our land is located, is an important factor in creating demand for our products and services. Two important factors in the economic growth of the region are the completion of significant infrastructure improvements and the creation of new jobs.

The economic growth of Northwest Florida depends upon state and local governments, in combination with the private sector, to plan and complete significant infrastructure improvements in the region, such as new roads, medical facilities and schools. The future economic growth of Northwest Florida and our financial results may be adversely affected if its infrastructure is not improved. There can be no assurance that new improvements will occur or that existing projects will be completed.

Attracting significant new employers that can create new, high-quality jobs is also a key factor in the economic growth of Northwest Florida. Northwest Florida has traditionally lagged behind the rest of Florida in economic growth, and as a result its residents have a lower per capita income than residents in other parts of the state. In order to improve the economy of the region, state and local governments, along with the private sector, must seek to attract large employers capable of paying high salaries to large numbers of new employees. State governments, particularly in the Southeast, and local governments within Florida compete intensely for new jobs. There can be no assurance that efforts to attract significant new employers to locate facilities in Northwest Florida will be successful or that new employersemployees will want to locate their businesses in Northwest Florida. The future economic growth of Northwest Florida and our financial results may be adversely affected if substantial job growth is not achieved.

If we are not able to generate sufficient cash to maintain and enhance our operations and to develop our real estate holdings, our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted.

We operate in a capital intensive industry and require significant cash to maintain our competitive position. Although we have significantly reduced capital expenditures and operating expenses during the current real estate downturn, we will need significant cash in the future to maintain and enhance our operations and to develop our real estate holdings. We obtain funds for our operating expenses and capital expenditures through cash flow from operations, property sales and financings. Due to the operating losses and low levels of cash currently generated by our operations, we are continuing to explore alternative methods andor strategies for generating additional cash, such as ways to maximize the use of our timber and exploring other strategic alternatives.timber. We cannot guarantee, however, that any of these alternative cash sources or strategies will be viable, significant or successful. Failure to obtain sufficient cash when needed may limit our development activities, cause us to further reduce our operations or cause us to sell desirable assets on unfavorable terms, any of which could have a material adverse affecteffect on our financial condition, and results of operations.

If our cash flow proves to be insufficient, due to the continuing real estate downturn, unanticipated expenses or otherwise, we may need to obtain additional financing from third-party lenders in order to support our plan of operations. Additional funding, whether obtained through public or private debt or equity financing, or from strategic alliances, may not be available when needed or may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

We have a $125 million revolving credit facility with adjustable interest rates that we can draw upon to provide cash for operations

and/or capital expenditures. Increases in interest rates can make it more expensive for us to use this credit facility or obtain funds from other sources that we need to operate our business.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill has had, and future oil spill incidents in the Gulf of Mexico could have, an adverse impact on our properties, results of operations and stock price. Furthermore, if drilling for oil or natural gas is permitted off the coast of Northwest Florida, our business may be adversely affected.

In April 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform exploded and sank in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana causing a massive oil spill. Millions of barrels of oil were released into the Gulf of Mexico over a period of months causing widespread environmental damage. The ruptured oil well was permanently contained


10


in September 2010. Much uncertainty remains, however, about the extent of the environmental damage from the oil and other pollutants that have been discharged into the Gulf and the duration of the negative effects from the spill, including negative consumer perception regarding the Gulf region including Northwest Florida.spill. Although the full economic and environmental effects of the oil spill are uncertain at this time, we believe that it has had a negative impact on our properties, results of operations and stock price.price as well as a delaying effect in the timing of some of our initiatives. Future oil spill incidents, or the prospect of future oil spill incidents, could also negatively affect our properties, results of operations and stock price.

To date, federal and state laws have prevented the construction of unsightly drilling platforms off the coast of Florida and have preserved the natural beauty of the state’s coastline and beaches. This natural coastal beauty is an important positive factor in Florida’s tourist-based economy and contributes significantly to the value of our properties in Northwest Florida.

If drilling platforms are permitted to be built off the coast of Northwest Florida, potential purchasers may find our coastal properties to be less attractive, or may perceive greater risks from possible future oil spills, which may have an adverse effect on our business.

We have significant operations and properties in Florida that could be materially and adversely affected in the event of a hurricane, natural disaster or other significant disruption. The prospectrisk of hurricanes could also negatively impact demand for our real estate products.

Our corporate headquarters and our properties are located in Florida, where major hurricanes have occurred. Because of its location between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, Florida is particularly susceptible to the occurrence of hurricanes. Depending on where any particular hurricane makes landfall, our developments in Florida, especially our coastal properties and corporate headquarters facility in Northwest Florida, could experience significant, if not catastrophic, damage. Such damage could materially delay sales in affected communities or could lessen demand for products in those communities. If our corporate headquarters facility is damaged or destroyed, we may have difficulty performing certain corporate and operational functions.

Importantly, regardless of actual damage to a development, the occurrence and frequency of hurricanes in Florida and the southeastern United States could negatively impact demand for our real estate products because of consumer perceptions of hurricane risks. For example, the southeastern United States experienced a record-setting hurricane season in 2005, including Hurricane Katrina, which caused severe devastation to New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast and received prolonged national media attention. Although our properties were not significantly impacted, we believe that the 2005 hurricane season had an immediate negative impact on sales of our resort residential products. Another severe hurricane or hurricane season in the future could have a similar negative effect on our real estate sales.

In addition to hurricanes, the occurrence of other natural disasters and climate conditions in Florida, such as tornadoes, floods, fires, unusually heavy or prolonged rain, droughts and heat waves, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to develop and sell properties or realize income from a number of our projects. Furthermore, an increase in sea levels due to long-term global warming could have a material adverse affecteffect on our coastal properties. The occurrence of natural disasters and the threat of adverse climate changes could also have a long-term negative effect on the attractiveness of Florida as a location for resort, seasonaland/or primary residences and as a location for new employers that can create high-quality jobs needed to spur growth in Northwest Florida.

Additionally, we are susceptible to manmade disasters or disruptions, such as oil spills, acts of terrorism, power outages and communications failures. If a hurricane, natural disaster or other significant disruption occurs, we may experience disruptions to our operations and properties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.

If the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport is not successful, we may not realize the economic benefits that we are anticipating from the new airport.

We believe that the recent relocation of the Panama City-Bay County International Airport is critically important to the overall economic development of Northwest Florida. We anticipate that the airport will provide a catalyst for value creation inFlorida and our ability to develop the property we own surrounding the airport, as well as our other properties throughout Northwest Florida.

As a result, we entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Southwest Airlines providesto facilitate the commencement of low-fare air service tointo the new airport. If Southwest Airlines’ service failsPursuant to grow, or ifthe terms of the agreement, we have agreed to reimburse Southwest Airlines chooses to terminateif it incurs losses on its service at the new airport or chooses to commence service at anotherduring the first three years of service.

The airport must successfully compete with the other airports in the region, including Pensacola, Destin and Tallahassee, and Dothan, Alabama. There can be no assurance that the newregion can support all of the existing airports.

If the airport may not be successful, andfails to successfully compete with the other airports in the regions, we may not realize the economic benefits that we are anticipating from the new airport.

In addition, if Furthermore, we could be required to reimburse Southwest, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

If Southwest Airlines’ service toat the new airport is unsuccessful, the new airport will be impacted and we wouldmay not realize the economic benefits that we anticipate from the new airport, or we may be required pursuant to our agreement with Southwest Airlines to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs losses during the first three yearsfor some of service. Although we have the right to terminate our agreement with Southwest Airlines if payments exceed certain amounts, the required payments under the agreement could have an adverse affect on our financial results.

The airport must successfully compete with the other airports in the region. For example, airports in Pensacola, Destin and Tallahassee, Florida, and Dothan, Alabama aggressively compete for passengers in Northwest Florida. There can be no assurance that the region can support all of the existing airports. If the airport fails to successfully compete with the other airports in the region, we may not realize the economic benefits that we are anticipating from the new airport.
its losses.

Limitations on the access to the airport runway at the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport may have an adverse effect on the demand for our West Bay Sector lands adjacent to the new airport and our results of operations.

Our land donation agreement with the airport authority and the deed for the airport land provide access rights to the airport runway from our adjacent lands. We subsequently entered into an access agreement with the airport authority that outlines the process for implementingprovides access to the airport runway. Under the terms of the access agreement, we are subject to thecertain requirements of the airport authority, including but not limited to the laws administered by the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”), the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Bay County and Panama City. Should security measures at airports become more restrictive in the future due to circumstances beyond our control, FAA regulations governing these access rights may impose additional limitations that could significantly impair or restrict access rights.

In addition, we are required to obtain environmental permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Florida’s Department of Environmental Protection in order to develop the land necessary for access from our planned areas of commercial development to the airport runway. Such permits are often subject to a lengthy approval process, and there can be no assurance that such permits will be issued, or that they will be issued in a timely manner.

We believe that runway access is a valuable attribute of some of our West Bay Sector lands adjacent to the new airport, and the failure to maintain such access, or the imposition of significant restrictions on such access, could adversely affect the demand for such lands and our results of operations.

Changes in the demographics affecting projected population growth in Florida, particularly Northwest Florida, including a decrease in the migration of Baby Boomers, could adversely affect our business.

Florida has experienced strong population growth since World War II, including during the real estate boom in the first half of the last decade. In recent years, however, the rate of net migration into Florida has drastically declined. The significant decline in the rate of in-migration could reflect a number of factors affecting Florida, including difficult economic conditions, rising foreclosures, restrictive credit, the occurrence of hurricanes and increased costs of living. Also, because of the housing collapse across the nation, people


12


interested in moving to Florida may have delayed or cancelled their plans due to difficulties selling their existing homes.

The success of our primary communities will be dependent on strong in-migration population expansion in our regions of development, primarily Northwest Florida. We also believe that Baby Boomers seeking retirement or vacation homes in Florida will remain important target customers for our real estate products in the future. Florida’s population growth could be negatively affected in the future by factors such as adverse economic conditions, the occurrence of hurricanes or oil spills and the high cost of real estate, insurance and property taxes. Furthermore, those persons considering moving to Florida may not view Northwest Florida as an attractive place to live or own a second home and may choose to live in another region of the state. In addition, as an alternative to Florida, other states such as Georgia, North and South Carolina and Tennessee are increasingly becoming retirement destinations and are attracting retiring Baby Boomers and the workforce population who may have otherwise considered moving to Florida. If Florida, especially Northwest Florida, experiences an extended period of slow growth, or even net out-migration, our business, results of operations and financial condition would suffer.

We are dependent upon national, regional and local homebuilders as customers, but our ability to attract homebuilder customers and their ability or willingness to satisfy their purchase commitments may be uncertain considering the current real estate downturn.

We no longer build homes in our developments, so we are highly dependent upon our relationships with national, regional and local homebuilders to be the primary customers for our homesites and to provide construction services at our residential developments. Because of the collapse of real estate markets across the nation, including our markets, homebuilders are struggling to survive and are significantly less willing to purchase homesites and invest capital in speculative construction. The homebuilder customers that have already committed to purchase homesites from us could decide to reduce, delay or cancel their existing commitments to purchase homesites in our developments. Homebuilders also may not view our developments as desirable locations for homebuilding operations, or they may choose, in light of current market conditions, to purchase land from distressed sellers. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our business model is dependent on transactions with strategic partners. We may not be able to successfully (1) attract desirable strategic partners; (2) complete agreements with strategic partners, and/or (3) manage relationships with strategic partners going forward, any of which could adversely affect our business.

We have increased our focus on executing our development and value creation strategies through joint ventures and strategic relationships.

We are actively seeking strategic partners for alliances or joint venture relationships as part of our overall strategy for particular developments.developments or regions. These joint venture partners may bring development experience, industry expertise, financial resources, financing capabilities, brand recognition and credibility or other competitive assets. We cannot assure, however, that we will have sufficient resources, experienceand/or skills to locate desirable partners. We also may not be able to attract partners who want to conduct business in Northwest Florida, our primary area of focus, and who have the assets, reputation or other characteristics that would optimize our development opportunities.

Once a partner has been identified, actually reaching an agreement on a transaction may be difficult to complete and may take a considerable amount of time considering that negotiations require careful balancing of the parties’ various objectives, assets, skills and interests. A formal partnership with a joint venture partner may also involve special risks such as:

• 

we may not have voting control over the joint venture;

• the venture partner may take actions contrary to our instructions or requests, or contrary to our policies or objectives with respect to the real estate investments;
• the venture partner could experience financial difficulties, and


13


the venture partner may take actions contrary to our instructions or requests, or contrary to our policies or objectives with respect to the real estate investments;

the venture partner could experience financial difficulties, and

actions by a venture partner may subject property owned by the joint venture to liabilities greater than those contemplated by the joint venture agreement or have other adverse consequences.

• actions by a venture partner may subject property owned by the joint venture to liabilities greater than those contemplated by the joint venture agreement or have other adverse consequences.

Joint ventures can have a high failure rate. A key complicating factor is that strategic partners may have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours or that are influenced by factors unrelated to our business. These competing interests lead to the difficult challenges of successfully managing the relationship and communication between strategic partners and monitoring the execution of the partnership plan. We cannot assure that we will have sufficient resources, experienceand/or skills to effectively manage our ongoing relationships with our strategic partners. We may also be subject to adverse business consequences if the market reputation of a strategic partner deteriorates. If we cannot successfully execute transactions with strategic partners, our business could be adversely affected.

If the fair values of our homes, and homesites substantially completed and ready for sale which management intends to sell in the near term, or the undiscounted cash flows of certain other real estate assets were to drop below the book value of those properties, we would be required to further write down the book value of those properties, which would have an adverse affecteffect on our balance sheet and our earnings.

Unlike most other real estate developers, we have owned the majority of our land for many years, having acquired most of our land in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Consequently, we have a very low initial cost basis in the majority of our lands. In certain instances, however, we have acquired properties at market values for project development. Also, many of our projects have expensive amenities, such as pools, golf courses and clubs, or feature elaborate commercial areas requiring significant capital expenditures. Many of these costs are capitalized as part of the book value of the project land. Adverse market conditions, in certain circumstances, may require the book value of real estate assets to be decreased, often referred to as a “write-down” or “impairment.” A write-down of an asset would decrease the book value of the asset on our balance sheet and would reduce our earnings for the period in which the write-down is recorded.

If market conditions were to continue to deteriorate, and the fair values offor our homes, and homesites substantially completed and ready for sale that management intends to sell, or the undiscounted cash flows of other properties, were to fall below the book value of these assets we could be required to take additional write downsfurther write-downs of the book value of those assets.

A securities class action lawsuit is pending against us involving our past public disclosures, and the outcome of this lawsuit and any related derivative lawsuits that may be filed in the future could have an adverse effect on our business and stock price.

Two securities class action lawsuits have beenwere filed against us and certain of our officers and directors, relating to our past disclosures and alleging, among other things, violations of the securities laws. These two lawsuits have been consolidated into one case. There mayhave also bebeen additional derivative lawsuits filed by shareholders relating to the same matters described in the securities class action suit. We cannot predict the outcome of the pending lawsuit or any future lawsuits. Substantial damages or other monetary remedies assessed against us could have an adverse effect on our business and stock price.

An adverse outcome of the informal inquiryinvestigation being conducted by the SEC or an initiation by the SEC of a formal inquiry or investigation, could have an adverse effect on our business and stock price.

In January 2011, the SEC commenced an informal inquiry into our accounting practices for impairment of investment in real estate assets.assets and then notified us in June of 2011 that it had issued a related order of private investigation. We intend to fully cooperate with the SEC in connection with the informal inquiry.this matter. We are unable to predict the outcome of the informal inquiry or whether a formal inquiry or investigation will be initiated.SEC investigation. An adverse outcome of the informal inquiry or an initiation of a formal inquiry or investigation by the SEC could have an adverse effect on our business and stock price.

We are exposed to risks associated with real estate development that could adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Our real estate development activities entail risks that could adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, including:

construction delays or cost overruns, which may increase project development costs;

claims for construction defects after property has been developed, including claims by purchasers and property owners’ associations;

• construction delays or cost overruns, which may increase project development costs;
• claims for construction defects after property has been developed, including claims by purchasers and property owners’ associations;
• an inability to obtain required governmental permits and authorizations;
• an inability to secure tenants necessary to support commercial projects, and
• compliance with building codes and other local regulations.

an inability to obtain required governmental permits and authorizations;

an inability to secure tenants necessary to support commercial projects, and

compliance with building codes and other local regulations.

Significant competition could have an adverse effect on our business.

A number of residential and commercial developers, some with greater financial and other resources, compete with us in seeking resources for development and prospective purchasers and tenants. Competition from other real estate developers may adversely affect our ability to:

attract purchasers and sell residential and commercial real estate;

sell undeveloped rural land;

• attract purchasers and sell residential and commercial real estate;
• sell undeveloped rural land;
• attract and retain experienced real estate development personnel; and
• obtain construction materials and labor.

attract and retain experienced real estate development personnel; and

We also face competition in our forestry business which could have a negative impact on the prices paid for our timber products.

obtain construction materials and labor.

The cyclical nature of our real estate operations could adversely affect our results of operations.

The real estate industry is cyclical and can experience downturns based on consumer perceptions of real estate markets and other cyclical factors, which factors may work in conjunction with or be wholly unrelated to general economic conditions. Furthermore, our business is affected by seasonal fluctuations in customers interested in

purchasing real estate, with the spring and summer months traditionally being the most active time of year for customer traffic and sales. Also, our supply of homesites available for purchase fluctuates from time to time. As a result, our real estate operations are cyclical, which may cause our quarterly revenues and operating results to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and to differ from the expectations of public market analysts and investors. If this occurs, the trading price of our stock could also fluctuate significantly.

Our business is subject to extensive regulation that may restrict, make more costly or otherwise adversely impact our ability to conduct our operations.

Approval to develop real property in Florida entails an extensive entitlements process involving multiple and overlapping regulatory jurisdictions and often requiring discretionary action by local government. This process is often political, uncertain and may require significant exactions in order to secure approvals. Real estate projects in Florida must generally comply with the provisions of the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act (the “Growth Management Act”) and local land development regulations. In addition, development projects that exceed certain specified regulatory thresholds require approval of a comprehensive Development of Regional Impact, or DRI, application. Compliance with the Growth Management Act, local land development regulations and the DRI process is usually lengthy and costly and can be expected to materially affect our real estate development activities.


15


The Growth Management Act requires local governments to adopt comprehensive plans guiding and controlling future real property development in their respective jurisdictions and to evaluate, assess and keep those plans current. Included in all comprehensive plans is a future land use map which sets forth allowable land use development rights. Since most of our land has an “agricultural” or similar land use, we are required to seek an amendment to the future land use map to develop residential, commercial and mixed-use projects. Approval of these comprehensive plan map amendments is highly discretionary.

All development orders and development permits must be consistent with the comprehensive plan. Each plan must address such topics as future land use and capital improvements and make adequate provision for a multitude of public services including transportation, schools, solid waste disposal, sanitation, sewerage, potable water supply, drainage, affordable housing, open space and parks. The local governments’ comprehensive plans must also establish “levels of service” with respect to certain specified public facilities, including roads and schools, and services to residents. In many areas, infrastructure funding has not kept pace with growth, causing facilities to operate below established levels of service. Local governments are prohibited from issuing development orders or permits if the development will reduce the level of service for public facilities below the level of service established in the local government’s comprehensive plan, unless the developer either sufficiently improves the services up front to meet the required level or provides financial assurances that the additional services will be provided as the project progresses. In addition, local governments that fail to keep their plans current may be prohibited by law from amending their plans to allow for new development.

The DRI review process includes an evaluation of a project’s impact on the environment, infrastructure and government services, and requires the involvement of numerous state and local environmental, zoning and community development agencies. Local government approval of any DRI is subject to appeal to the Governor and Cabinet by the Florida Department of Community Affairs, and adverse decisions by the Governor or Cabinet are subject to judicial appeal. The DRI approval process is usually lengthy and costly, and conditions, standards or requirements may be imposed on a developer that may materially increase the cost of a project.

Changes in the Growth Management Act or the DRI review process or the interpretation thereof, new enforcement of these laws or the enactment of new laws regarding the development of real property could lead to new or greater liabilities that could materially adversely affect our business, profitability or financial condition.

Environmental and other regulations may have an adverse effect on our business.

Our properties are subject to federal, state and local environmental regulations and restrictions that may impose significant limitations on our development ability. In most cases, approval to develop requires multiple permits which involve a long, uncertain and costly regulatory process. Most of our land holdings contain jurisdictional wetlands, some of which may be unsuitable for development or prohibited from development by law. Development approval most often requires mitigation for impacts to wetlands that require land to be conserved at a disproportionate ratio versus the actual wetlands impacted and approved for development. Much of our property is undeveloped land located in areas where development may have to avoid, minimize or mitigate for impacts to the natural habitats of various protected wildlife or plant species. Much of our property is in coastal areas that usually have a more restrictive permitting burden and must address issues such as coastal high hazard, hurricane evacuation, floodplains and dune protection.

Environmental laws and regulations frequently change, and such changes could have an adverse effect on our business. For example, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) released in January 2010 proposed new freshwater quality criteria for Florida. There is a significant amount of uncertainty about how the proposed freshwater criteria would be implemented, including how they would relate to current state regulations. In addition, the EPA proposes to release new coastal water quality criteria for Florida in 2011. If adopted, and depending on the implementation details, the EPA’s proposed water quality criteria could lead to new restrictions and increased costs for our real estate development activities.

In addition, our current or past ownership, operation and leasing of real property, and our current or past transportation and other operations, are subject to extensive and evolving federal, state and local environmental


16


laws and other regulations. The provisions and enforcement of these environmental laws and regulations may become more stringent in the future. Violations of these laws and regulations can result in:

civil penalties;

remediation expenses;

• civil penalties;
• remediation expenses;
• natural resource damages;
• personal injury damages;
• potential injunctions;
• cease and desist orders; and
• criminal penalties.

natural resource damages;

personal injury damages;

potential injunctions;

cease and desist orders; and

criminal penalties.

In addition, some of these environmental laws impose strict liability, which means that we may be held liable for any environmental damages on our property regardless of fault.

Some of our past and present real property, particularly properties used in connection with our previous transportation and papermill operations, were involved in the storage, use or disposal of hazardous substances that have contaminated and may in the future contaminate the environment. We may bear liability for this contamination and for the costs of cleaning up a site at which we have disposed of or to which we have transported hazardous substances. The presence of hazardous substances on a property may also adversely affect our ability to sell or develop the property or to borrow funds using the property as collateral.

Changes in laws or the interpretation thereof, new enforcement of laws, the identification of new facts or the failure of other parties to perform remediation at our current or former facilities could lead to new or greater liabilities that could materially adversely affect our business, profitability or financial condition.

If our net worth declines, we could default on our revolving credit facility which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We have a $125 million revolving credit facility available to provide a source of funds for operations, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. While we have not yet needed to borrow any funds under this facility, it is important to have in place as a ready source of financing, especially in the current difficult economic conditions. The credit facility contains financial covenants that we must meet on a quarterly basis. These restrictive covenants require, among other things, that our tangible net worth be not less than $800 million. Compliance with this covenant will be challenging if we continue to experience significant operating losses, asset impairments, pension plan losses and other reductions in our net worth.
If we do not comply with the minimum tangible net worth covenant, we could have an event of default under our credit facility. There can be no assurance that the bank will be willing to amend the facility to provide for more lenient terms prior to any such default, or that it will not charge significant fees in connection with any such amendment. If we had borrowings under the facility at the time of a default, the bank could immediately accelerate all outstanding amounts and file a mortgage on the majority of our properties to secure the repayment of the debt. Even if we had no outstanding borrowings under the facility at the time of a default, the bank may choose to terminate the facility or seek to negotiate additional or more severe restrictive covenants or increased pricing and fees. We could be required to seek an alternative funding source, which may not be available at all or available on acceptable terms. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Increases in property insurance premiums and the decreasing availability of homeowner property insurance in Florida could reduce customer demand for homes and homesites in our developments.

Homeowner property insurance companies doing business in Florida have reacted to recent hurricanes by significantly increasing premiums, requiring higher deductibles, reducing limits, restricting coverage, imposing exclusions, refusing to insure certain property owners, and in some instances, ceasing insurance operations in


17


the state. It is uncertain what effect these actions will have on property insurance availability and rates in the state. This trend of decreasing availability of insurance and rising insurance rates could continue if there are severe hurricanes in the future.

Furthermore, since the 2005 hurricane season, Florida’s state-owned property insurance company, Citizens Property Insurance Corp., has significantly increased the number of its outstanding policies, causing its potential claims exposure to exceed $2 trillion.policies. If there were to be a catastrophic hurricane or series of hurricanes to hit Florida, the exposure of the state government to property insurance claims could place extreme stress on state finances and may ultimately cause taxes in Florida to be significantly increased. The state may decide to limit the availability of state-sponsored property insurance in the future.

The high and increasing costs of property insurance premiums in Florida, as well as the decrease in private property insurers, could deter potential customers from purchasing a home or homesite in one of our developments or make Northwest Florida less attractive to new employers that can create high quality jobs needed to spur growth in the region, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Mortgage financing issues, including lack of supply of mortgage loans, tightened lending requirements and possible future increases in interest rates, 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, or they may need to obtain mortgage loans to finance the construction costs of homes to be built on homesites purchased from us. Also, our homebuilder customers depend on retail purchasers who rely on mortgage financing. Many mortgage lenders and investors in mortgage loans have recently experienced severe financial difficulties arising from losses incurred onsub-prime and other loans originated before the downturn in the real estate market. Despite unprecedented efforts by the federalFederal government to stabilize the nation’s banks, banking operations remain unsettled and the future of certain financial institutions remains uncertain. Because of these problems, the supply of mortgage products has been constrained, and the eligibility requirements for borrowers have been significantly tightened. These problems in the mortgage lending industry could adversely affect potential purchasers of our products, including our homebuilder customers, thus having a negative effect on demand for our products.

Despite the current problems in the mortgage lending industry, interest rates for home mortgage loans have generally remained low. Mortgage interest rates could increase in the future, however, which could adversely affect the demand for residential real estate. In addition, any changes in the federal income tax laws which would remove or limit the deduction for interest on home mortgage loans 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.

We may not achieve the intended effects of our business strategy.

In January 2012, we adopted a new real estate investment strategy, which is focused on reducing future capital outlays and employing new risk-adjusted investment return criteria for evaluating the Company’s properties and future investments in such properties. Pursuant to this new strategy, the Company intends to significantly reduce planned future capital expenditures for infrastructure, amenities and master planned community development and reposition certain assets to encourage increased absorption of such properties in their respective markets. If we are not successful in achieving our objectives, our revenues, costs and overall profitability could be negatively affected.

Our stock price may decline or fluctuate significantly due to market factors outside of our control.

The market price of our common stock has been volatile and may decline or fluctuate significantly in response to many factors, many of which are outside our control, including but not limited to:

actions by institutional shareholders or hedge funds;

speculation in the press or investment community;

• actions by institutional shareholders or hedge funds;
• speculation in the press or investment community;
• 

the extent of short selling, hedging and other derivative transactions involving shares of our common stock;

• publication of research reports and opinions about us or the real estate industry in general;
• rumors or dissemination of false or misleading information about us by other parties;
• adverse market reaction to our strategic initiatives and their implementation;

• changes in our management structure and board composition;
• informal or formal inquiries or investigations by the SEC; and

These factors may cause the market price of our common stock to decline regardless of our financial condition, results of operation, business or prospects and could result in substantial losses for our shareholders.

If Fairholme Funds, Inc. controls us within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, we may be unable to engage in transactions with potential strategic partners, which could adversely affect our business.

Fairholme Funds, Inc. (“Fairholme”) is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”) that currently beneficially owns approximately 24.98% of our outstanding common stock. Fairholme Capital Management, L.L.C., which controls Fairholme, is the investment advisor of accounts that in the aggregate own an additional 5% of our common stock. Bruce R. Berkowitz, and Charles M. Fernandez, the Managing Member and President, respectively, of Fairholme Capital Management, L.L.C., and the President and Vice President, respectively, of Fairholme, will become membersis the Chairman of our Board of Directors upon filing of this Form 10-K. Under the Investment Company Act, “control” means the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company. Any person who owns beneficially, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25% of the voting securities of a company shall be presumed to control such company. The SEC, however, has considered factors other than ownership of voting securities in determining control, including an official position with the company when such was obtained as a result of the influence over the company. Accordingly, even if Fairholme’s beneficial ownership in us remains below 25%, Fairholme may nevertheless be deemed to control us. The Investment Company Act generally prohibits a company controlled by an investment company from engaging in certain transactions with any affiliate of the investment company or affiliates of the affiliate, subject to limited exceptions. An affiliate of an investment company is defined in the Investment Company Act as, among other things, any company 5% or more of whose outstanding voting securities are directly or indirectly owned, controlled, or held with power to vote, by the investment company, a company directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, the investment company or a company directly or indirectly owning, controlling, or holding with power to vote, 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the investment company.

We believe that Fairholme is currently affiliated with a number of entities, including RSC Holdings, Inc., WellCare Health Plans, Inc., Winthrop Realty Trust, Regions Financial Corp., CIT Group, Inc., Imperial Metals Corporation, Leucadia National Corporation, MBIA, Inc., Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation and Sears Holdings Corp. and MBIA, Inc.Corporation. Due to this affiliation, should Fairholme be deemed to control us, we may be prohibited from engaging in certain transactions with these entities and certain of their affiliates and any future affiliates of Fairholme, unless one of the limited exceptions applies. This could adversely affect our ability to enter into transactions freely and compete in the marketplace.

In addition, significant penalties apply for companies found to be in violation of the Investment Company Act.

If the Smurfit-StoneRockTenn mill in Panama City were to permanently cease operations, the price we receive for our pine pulpwood may decline, and the cost of delivering logs to alternative customers could increase.

In November 2010, we entered into a new supply agreement with Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation that requires us to deliver and sell a total of 3.9 million tons of pulpwood through 2017. Smurfit-Stone’s Panama City mill is the largest consumer of pine pulpwood logs within the immediate area in which most of our timberlands are

located. In July 2010, Smurfit-Stone emerged from approximately 18 months of bankruptcy protection, and during the first quarter of 2011, it announced its acquisition by another company.RockTenn. Under the terms of the supply agreement, Smurfit-Stone and its successorRockTenn will be liable for monetary damages as a result of the closure of the mill due to economic reasons for a period of one year. Nevertheless, if the Smurfit-StoneRockTenn mill in Panama City were to permanently cease operations, the price for our pulpwood may decline, and the cost of delivering logs to alternative customers could increase.

Changes in our income tax estimates could affect our profitability.

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, significant management judgment is required to estimate our income taxes. Our estimates are based on our interpretation of federal and state tax laws. We estimate our actual current tax due and assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our consolidated balance sheets. Adjustments may be required by a change in assessment of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes due to audit adjustments by federal and state tax authorities, and changes in tax laws and rates. To the extent adjustments are required in any given period; we include the adjustments in the tax provision in our financial statements. These adjustments could materially impact our financial position, cash flow and results of operations.

Our insurance coverage on our properties may be inadequate to cover any losses we may incur.

We maintain comprehensive insurance on our property, including property, liability, fire, flood and extended coverage. However, there are certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as hurricanes and floods or acts of war or terrorism that may be uninsurable or not economically insurable. We use our discretion when determining amounts, coverage limits and deductibles for insurance. These terms are determined based on retaining an acceptable level of risk at a reasonable cost. This may result in insurance coverage that in the event of a substantial loss would not be sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement cost of our lost investment. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors also may make it unfeasible to use insurance proceeds to replace a facility after it has been damaged or destroyed. Under such circumstances, the insurance proceeds we receive may not be adequate to restore our economic position in a property. If an insured loss occurred, we could lose both our investment in and anticipated profits and cash flow from a property, and we would continue to be obligated on any mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the property.

Increases in real estate property taxes could reduce customer demand for homes and homesites in our developments.

Florida experienced significant increases in property values during the record-setting real estate activity in the first half of the previousthis decade. As a result, many local governments have been, and may continue aggressively re-assessing the value of homes and real estate for property tax purposes. These larger assessments increase the total real estate property taxes due from property owners annually. Because of decreased revenues from other sources because of the recession, many local governments have also increased their property tax rates.

The current high costs of real estate property taxes in Florida, and future increases in property taxes, could deter potential customers from purchasing a lot or home in one of our developments, or make Northwest Florida less attractive to new employers that can create high-quality jobs needed to spur growth in the region, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If Wells Fargo & Company’s Wachovia Bank subsidiary (or any successor bank) were to fail and be liquidated, we could be required to accelerate the payment of the deferred taxes on our installment sale transactions. Our business, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected if this significant tax event were to occur.
During 2007 and 2008, we sold approximately 132,055 acres of timberland in installment sale transactions for approximately $183.3 million, which was paid in the form of15-year installment notes receivable. These installment notes are fully backed by letters of credit issued by Wachovia Bank, N.A. (subsequently acquired by Wells Fargo & Company) which are secured by bank deposits in the amount of the purchase price. The approximate aggregate taxable gain from these transactions was $160.5 million, but the installment sale structure allows us to defer paying taxes on these gains for 15 years. Meanwhile, we generated cash from these sales (sometimes referred to as “monetizing” the notes) by contributing the installment notes and bank letters of credit to special purpose entities organized by us, and these special purpose entities in turn issued to various institutional investors notes payable backed by the installment notes and bank letters of credit, and in some cases by a second letter of credit issued for the account of the special purpose entity. The special purpose entities have approximately $163.5 million of these notes payable outstanding. These notes are payable solely out of the assets of the special purpose entities (which consist of the installment notes and the letters of credit). The investors in the special purpose entities have no recourse against us for payment of the notes. The special purpose entities’ financial position and results of operations are not consolidated in our financial statements.
Banks and other financial institutions experienced a high level of instability in the recent economic crisis, resulting in numerous bank and financial institution failures, hastily structured mergers and acquisitions, and an unprecedented direct infusion of billions of dollars of capital by the federal government into banks and financial institutions. In late 2008, Wells Fargo acquired Wachovia Corporation and its subsidiary, Wachovia Bank, N.A., the holder of the deposits and the issuer of the letter of credit obligations in our installment sale transactions. Wells Fargo, as one of the largest banks in the United States, would presumably receive the support of the federal government if needed to prevent a failure of its banking subsidiaries. There can be no


20


assurance, however, that Wells Fargo’s Wachovia Bank subsidiary (or any successor bank) will not fail or that it would receive government assistance sufficient to prevent a bank failure.
If Wells Fargo’s Wachovia Bank subsidiary (or any successor bank) were to fail and be liquidated, the installment notes receivable, the letters of credit and the notes issued by the special purpose entities to the institutional investors could be virtually worthless or satisfied at a significant discount. As a result, the taxes due on the $160.5 million gain would be accelerated. An adverse tax event could result in an immediate need for a significant amount of cash that may not be readily available from our cash reserves, our revolving line of credit or other third-party financing sources. Any such cash outlay, even if available, could divert needed resources away from our business or cause us to liquidate assets on unfavorable terms or prices. Our business and financial condition may be adversely affected if these significant tax events were to occur. In the event of a liquidation of Wells Fargo’s Wachovia Bank subsidiary (or any successor bank), we could also be required to write-off the remaining retained interest recorded on our balance sheet in connection with the installment sale transactions, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Oil Spill Lawsuits

As a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, we have incurred significant expenses and our properties, results of operations and stock price have been negatively impacted. We are currently exploring funds that may be available through the Gulf Coast Claims Facility to reimburse us for these losses. In addition, we have filed, threeand may in the future file, additional lawsuits or claims against thethose parties we believe are responsible for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The oil spill has had a negative impact on our properties, results of operations and stock price. The three lawsuits are described as follows:

On August 4, 2010, we filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in New Castle County against Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. (“Halliburton”). The lawsuit alleges that Halliburton, the cementing contractor for the oil well, was grossly negligent in its management of the well cementing process leading to the blowout of the well. We are seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
On August 26, 2010, we filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in New Castle County against M-I, L.L.C. (a/k/a “M-I SWACO”). The lawsuit alleges that M-I SWACO, the drilling fluid contractor for the drilling rig, was grossly negligent in the way that it managed and conducted the use of drilling fluids to maintain well control leading to the blowout of the well. We are seeking compensatory and punitive damages.

On October 12, 2010, we filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in New Castle County against Transocean Holdings, LLC, Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling, Inc., Transocean Deepwater, Inc. and Triton Asset Leasing GmbH (collectively, “Transocean”). The lawsuit alleges that Transocean, the owner of the drilling rig, was grossly negligent in the operation and maintenance of the drilling rig and its equipment and in overseeing drilling activities on the rig leading to the blowout of the well. We are seeking compensatory and punitive damages.

All three of these cases were Transocean had removed by the defendantscase to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, and we filed motions to remand each casefederal court but on March 15, 2011, it was remanded back to Delaware state court. The Halliburton and M-I SWACO cases have since been transferred toOn March 25, 2011, however, Judge Carl Barbier of the Deepwater Horizon Multi-District Litigation in the U.S.United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. A hearing onLouisiana, who is overseeing the federal multidistrict litigation (MDL) against the Deepwater Horizon defendants, enjoined St. Joe from prosecuting its case against Transocean in Delaware state court. On October 21, 2011, Judge Barbier granted our motion for removalto sue Transocean in the MDL and we then dismissed our Delaware state-court lawsuit. The first phase of the MDL trial against Transocean case was heldis scheduled for February 27, 2012.

On August 4, 2010, we filed a lawsuit in the U.S. DistrictSuperior Court of the State of Delaware in New Castle County against Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. (“Halliburton”). The lawsuit alleges that Halliburton, the cementing contractor for the oil well, was grossly negligent in its management of the well cementing process leading to the blowout of the well.

We are seeking compensatory and punitive damages.

On March 29, 2011, we filed a consolidated complaint against Halliburton and M-I SWACO in Delaware Superior Court. (We had previously sued both Halliburton and M-I SWACO in separate lawsuits filed in Delaware state court. The Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation (“JPML”) transferred those cases to the MDL. We later dismissed them. Judge Barbier vacated the dismissals and the federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the dismissals). On August 12, 2011, the JPML transferred the consolidated complaint against Halliburton and M-I SWACO to the MDL proceeding in the Eastern District of Delaware on February 10, 2011, and a decision on the motion is pending.

Shareholder Lawsuits

On November 3, 2010, and December 7, 2010, twoa securities class action complaints werelawsuit was filed against usSt. Joe and certain of our current and former officers and directorsbefore Judge Richard Smoak in the Northern District of Florida. These cases have been consolidated in the U.S.United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida and are captioned as Meyer(Meyer v. The St. Joe Company et al.(, No. 5:11-cv-00027). A consolidated class action complaint was filed in the case on February 24, 2011.

The complaint was filed on behalf of persons who purchased2011 alleging various securities laws violations primarily related to our securities between February 19, 2008 and October 12, 2010 and alleges that we and certain ofaccounting for our officers and directors, among others, violated the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making falseand/or misleading statementsand/or by failing to disclose that, as the Florida real estate market was in decline, we were failing to take adequate and required impairments and accounting write-downs on many of our Florida-based properties and as a result, our financial statements materially overvalued our property developments. The plaintiffs also allege that our financial statements were not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and that we lacked adequate internal and financial controls, and as a result of the foregoing, our financial statements were materially false and misleading.assets. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount in damages.
We believe that we have meritorious defensesfiled a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claimscase on April 6, 2011, which the court granted without prejudice on August 24, 2011. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on September 23, 2011. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on October 24, 2011. On January 12, 2012, the Court granted the motion to dismiss with prejudice and intendentered judgment in favor of St. Joe and the individual defendants. On February 9, 2012, plaintiff filed a motion to defendalter or amend the action vigorously.
Additionally, we have received four demand letters askingjudgment, which the Board of DirectorsCourt denied on February 14, 2012. The time for plaintiff to initiate derivative litigation. To our knowledge, noappeal has not expired.

On March 29, 2011 and July 21, 2011, two separate derivative lawsuits have yet been filed.

were filed by shareholders on behalf of St. Joe against certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida (Nakata v. Greene et. al., No. 5:11-cv-00090 and Packer v. Greene, et al., No. 3:11-cv-00344). The complaints allege breaches of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment arising from substantially similar allegations as those described above in the Meyer case. On June 6, 2011, the court granted the parties’ motion to stay the Nakata action pending the outcome of the Meyer action. On September 12, 2011, a third derivative lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of Florida (Shurkin v. Berkowitz, et al., No. 5:11-cv-304) making similar claims as those in the Nakata and Packer actions. On September 16, 2011, plaintiffs in Nakata and

Packer filed a joint motion to consolidate all derivative actions and appoint lead counsel. On October 3, 2011, plaintiff in Shurkin filed a cross motion seeking separate lead counsel for Shurkin and coordination of Shurkin with the other derivative cases. On October 6, 2011, the Company filed a response in which it stated that all derivative cases should be consolidated. On October 14, 2011, Nakata and Packer plaintiffs filed an amended joint motion seeking consolidation of those two cases only. On October 21, 2011, the court issued an order consolidating the Nakata and Packer actions.

Overview

We own a large inventory of land suitable for development in Florida. The majority of our land is located in Northwest Florida and has a very low initial cost basis before considering development costs. In order to increase the value of these core real estate assets, we seek to reposition portions of our substantial timberland holdings for higher and better uses. We seek to create value in and/or increase demand for our land by securing entitlements for higher and better land-uses, facilitating infrastructure improvements, developing community amenities, undertaking strategic and expert land planning and development, parceling our land holdings in creative ways, performing land restoration and enhancement and promoting economic development.

We have four operating segments: residential real estate, commercial real estate, rural land sales and forestry.

The table below sets forth the relative contribution of these operating segments to our consolidated operating revenues:

Our business, financial condition and results of operations continued to be adversely affected during 2011 by the real estate downturn, slow economic recovery and other adverse market conditions which have been deeper and more prolonged than originally anticipated. This challenging environment has exerted negative pressure on the demand for all of our real estate products. Even though we have seen slightly improved residential sales activity we do not expect any significant improvement in market conditions in the near term.

The large oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico from the Deepwater Horizon incident has had a negative impact on our properties and results of operations and has created uncertainty about the future of the Gulf Coast region. We have filed lawsuits seeking the recovery of damages against parties we believe are responsible for the oil spill. In addition, we have initiated the process for pursuing portions of our claims through the Gulf Coast Claims Facility, the vehicle established by BP Exploration and Production, Inc. for claims under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. We cannot be certain, however, of the amount of any recovery or the ultimate success of our claims.

Residential Real Estate

Our residential real estate segment typically plans and develops mixed-use resort, primary and seasonal residential communities of various sizes, primarily on our existing land. We own large tracts of land in Northwest Florida, including significant Gulf of Mexico beach frontage and waterfront properties, and land in and around Jacksonville and Tallahassee.

Our residential real estate segment generates revenues from:

the sale of developed homesites to retail customers and builders;

the sale of parcels of entitled, undeveloped land;

• the sale of developed homesites to retail customers and builders;
• the sale of parcels of entitled, undeveloped land;
• the sale of housing units built by us;
• resort and club operations;
• rental income; and
• brokerage fees on certain transactions.

the sale of housing units built by us;

resort and club operations;

rental income; and

brokerage fees on certain transactions.

Our residential real estate segment incurs cost of revenues from:

costs directly associated with the land, development and construction of real estate sold, indirect costs such as development overhead, project administration, warranty, capitalized interest and selling costs;

resort and club personnel costs, cost of goods sold, and management fees paid to third party managers;

operating expenses of rental properties; and

brokerage fees.

Commercial Real Estate

Our commercial real estate segment plans, develops and entitles our land holdings for a broad range of retail, office, hotel, industrial and multi-family uses. We sell and develop commercial land and provide development opportunities for national and regional retailers as well as strategic partners in Northwest Florida. We also offer land for commercial and light industrial uses within large and small-scale commerce parks, as well as for a wide range of multi-family rental projects. Our commercial real estate segment generates revenues from the sale or lease of developed and undeveloped land for retail, multi-family, office, hotel and industrial uses and rental income. Our commercial real estate segment incurs costs of revenues from costs directly associated with the land, development costs and selling costs and operating costs of rental properties.

Rural Land Sales

Our rural land sales segment markets and sells tracts of land of varying sizes for rural recreational, conservation and timberland uses. The land sales segment prepares land for sale for these uses through harvesting, thinning and other silviculture practices, and in some cases, limited infrastructure development. Our rural land sales segment generates revenues from the sale of parcels of undeveloped land, and rural land with limited development, easements and mitigation bank credits. Our rural land segment incurs costs of revenue from the cost of land or mitigation bank credits sold, minimal development costs and selling costs.

In recent years, our revenue from rural land sales have significantly decreased as a result of our decision to sell only non-strategic rural land and to principally use our rural land resources to create sources of recurring revenue as well as from declines in demand for rural land due to difficult current market conditions. In 2011, we continued to minimize the sale of rural land at today’s depressed prices and we expect to continue this strategy in 2012. We may, however, rely on rural land sales as a source of revenues and cash in the future.

Forestry

Our forestry segment focuses on the management and harvesting of our extensive timber holdings. We grow, harvest and sell sawtimber, wood fiber and forest products and provide land management services for conservation properties. Our forestry segment generates revenues from the sale of pulpwood,wood fiber, sawtimber, standing timber and forest products and conservation land management services.

Our business, financial conditionforestry segment incurs costs of revenues from internal costs of forestry management, external logging costs, and resultsproperty taxes.

In 2011 an inventory of operations continuedall our pine plantations was completed and a new software platform was implemented to be adversely effected duringfacilitate management of the rural land holdings on a sustainable basis with regard to asset and harvest levels. These initiatives for the forestry segment have enabled the marketing of products to more diverse customers and the focus on market development. This plan made available approximately 70,000 acres for multiple uses including timber management on land previously held back from silviculture activities.

On March 31, 2011, we entered into a $55.9 million agreement for the sale of a timber deed which gives the purchaser the right to harvest timber on specific tracts of land (encompassing 40,975 acres) over a maximum term of 20 years. Unlike a pay-as-cut sales contract, risk of loss and title to the trees transfer to the buyer when the contract is signed. The buyer pays the full purchase price when the contract is signed and we do not have any additional performance obligations. Under a timber deed, the buyer or some other third party is responsible for all logging and hauling costs, if any, and the timing of such activity. Revenue from a timber deed sale is recognized when the contract is signed because the earnings process is complete. As part of the agreement, we also entered into a Thinnings Supply Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed, to the extent that the buyer decided to conduct a “First Thinning”, to purchase 85% of such first thinnings at fair market value. During, 2011, we purchased approximately $1.2 million, respectively, of first thinnings.

In November 2010, we entered into a new wood fiber supply agreement with Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation, which was recently acquired by RockTenn, (the “Wood Fiber Supply Agreement”). The new agreement replaces an agreement that we had entered into in July 2000 and that was scheduled to expire in June 2012. Under the real estate downturnagreement, we agreed to sell 3.9 million tons of pulpwood to RockTenn’s pulp and economic recessionpaper mill in Panama City, Florida over the next seven years. The new agreement also included more favorable pricing terms for us, provided for a steady demand for much of our wood fiber harvest and removed certain restrictions on our timberlands contained in the United States. This challenging environment has exerted negative pressure on the demand for all of our real estate productsprevious agreement.

2010 Restructuring and contributed to our net loss.

The large oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico from the Deepwater Horizon incident has had a negative impact on our properties, results of operations and stock price and has created uncertainty about the future of the Gulf Coast region. The Company filed three lawsuits in 2010 seeking the recovery of damages against parties we believe are responsible for the oil spill. The Company cannot be certain, however, of the amount of any recovery or the ultimate success of its claims.
Relocation Program

In 2010, we successfully continuedannounced that we were relocating our effortscorporate headquarters from Jacksonville, Florida to reduce cash expenditures, eliminate expensesWaterSound, Florida and increase our financial flexibility. Our liquidity position improved due toconsolidating existing offices from Tallahassee, Port St. Joe and Walton County into the utilization of our tax-loss carryback strategy, which resultedWaterSound location. These relocations were completed in the receiptsecond quarter of 2011. As a federal tax refundresult of $67.7 million in 2010.

The grand openingrelocation costs include relocation bonuses, temporary lodging expenses, resettlement expenses, tax payments, shipping and storage of household goods, and closing costs for housing transactions. Although we previously announced that we would build a new headquarters facility, we have now decided to indefinitely delay the development of the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport was held on May 23, 2010. In six monthscorporate headquarters building and impaired $0.8 million of operation, passenger traffic atpredevelopment costs related to the new airport exceeded that experienced atbuilding in 2011.

With the addition2011, as a result of Southwest Airlines and expanded service from Delta Air Lines, passenger traffic at the new airport has been consistently running at more than twice the level experienced at the old airport. This is particularly noteworthy considering the negative effects of the oil spill which occurred just before the airport opened.

Our business continues to generate operating losses and low levels of cash. On February 8, 2011, we announced thatdiscussions between our Board of Directors will explore financial and strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value.

These amounts do not include the additional $1.5 million non-cash compensation expense arising from the accelerated vesting of Mr. Greene’s restricted stock unit grants.

Our new management team adopted a restructuring plan aimed at significantly reducing operating costs. As part of this plan, we incurred approximately $2.4 million of charges during 2011 related to severance payments to employees. Our cost saving initiatives included lowering employee related costs by reducing headcount from 118 as of February 1, 2011 to 75 as of February 1, 2012; saving on occupancy costs by consolidating offices; renegotiating vendor contracts; and reducing discretionary spending where possible. We expect that the explorationour cost savings efforts will generate a decrease of strategic alternatives will resultapproximately $15 million to $18 million in any transaction, or that any such transaction or alternative would significantly improve our operating results.

and corporate expenses on an annualized basis.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on our historical and current experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate the results of these estimates on an on-going basis. Management’s estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. It is reasonably possible that these estimates may change in the near term. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Investment in Real Estate and Cost of Real Estate Sales.Costs associated with a specific real estate project are capitalized during the development period. We capitalize costs directly associated with development and construction of identified real estate projects. Indirect costs that clearly relate to a specific project under development, such as internal costs of a regional project field office, are also capitalized. We capitalize interest (up to total interest expense) based on the amount of underlying expenditures and real estate taxes on real estate projects under development. If we determine not to complete a project, any previously capitalized costs are expensed in the period in which the determination is made.

Real estate inventory costs include land and common development costs (such as roads, sewers and amenities), multi-family construction costs, capitalized property taxes, capitalized interest and certain indirect costs. Construction costs for single-family homes are determined based upon actual costs incurred. A portion of real estate inventory costs and estimates for costs to complete are allocated to each unit based on the relative sales value of each unit as compared to the estimated sales value of the total project. These estimates are reevaluated at least annually and more frequently if warranted by market conditions or other factors, with any adjustments being allocated prospectively to the remaining units available for sale.

We devote resources

Our new real estate investment strategy is focused on reducing future capital outlays and employing a risk adjusted investment return criteria for evaluating our properties and future investments in such properties. Pursuant to the conceptual design, planning, permittingthis new strategy, we intend to significantly reduce planned future capital expenditures for infrastructure, amenities and construction of certain key projects currently undermaster planned community development and reposition certain assets to encourage increased absorption of such properties in their respective markets. As part of this repositioning, we will maintain this process for certain select communities going forward. This strategy is dependent on our Board of Directors maintaining this strategyexpect properties may be sold in bulk, in undeveloped or developed parcels, or at lower price points and our intent and ability to hold and sell these key projects in most cases, over a long-term horizon.

shorter time periods.

The accounting estimate related to real estate impairment evaluation is susceptible to change due to the use of assumptions about future sales proceeds and future expenditures. 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 project and using management’s best estimates about future sales prices and planned holding periods. TheBased on the Company’s recently adopted risk-adjusted investment return criteria for evaluating the Company’s projects under development or undeveloped, management’s assumptions used in the projection of undiscounted cash flows requires that management develop various included:

the projected pace of sales of homesites based on estimated market conditions and the Company’s development plans;

estimated pricing and projected price appreciation over time, which can range from 0 to 10% annually;

the amount and trajectory of price appreciation over the estimate selling period;

the length of the estimated development and selling periods, which can range from 4 to 13 years depending on the size of the development and the number of phases to be developed;

the amount of remaining development costs, including the extent of infrastructure or amenities included in such development costs;

holding costs to be incurred over the selling period;

for bulk land sales of undeveloped and developed parcels future pricing is based upon estimated developed lot pricing less estimated development costs and estimated developer profit at 20%;

for commercial development property, future pricing is based on sales of comparable property in similar markets; and

assumptions including:

• the projected pace of sales of homesites based on estimated market conditions and the Company’s development plans;
• projected price appreciation over time, which can generally range from 0% to 7% annually;
• the amount and trajectory of price appreciation over the estimated selling period;


28regarding the intent and ability to hold individual investments in real estate over projected periods and related assumptions regarding available liquidity to fund continued development.


• the length of the estimated development and selling periods, which can range from 5 years to 17 years depending on the size of the development and the number of phases to be developed;
• the amount of remaining development costs and holding costs to be incurred over the selling period;
• in situations where development plans are subject to change, the amount of entitled land subject to bulk land sales or alternative use and the estimated selling prices of such property;
• for commercial development property, future pricing which is based on sales of comparable property in similar markets; and
• assumptions regarding the intent and ability to hold individual investments in real estate over projected periods and related assumptions regarding available liquidity to fund continued development.
For operating properties, an estimate of undiscounted cash flows requires management to make similar assumptions about the use and eventual disposition of such properties. Some of the significant assumptions that are used to develop the undiscounted cash flows include:

for investments in inns and rental condominium units, average occupancy and room rates, revenues from food and beverage and other amenity operations, operating expenses and capital expenditures, and eventual disposition of such properties as private residence vacation units or condominiums, based on current prices for similar units appreciated to the expected sale date;

for investments in commercial or retail property, future occupancy and rental rates and the amount of proceeds to be realized upon eventual disposition of such property at a terminal capitalization rate; and,

• for investments in hotel and rental condominium units, average occupancy and room rates, revenues from food and beverage and other amenity operations, operating expenses and capital expenditures, and the amount of proceeds to be realized upon eventual disposition of such properties as condo-hotels or condominiums, based on current prices for similar units appreciated to the expected sale date;
• for investments in commercial or retail property, future occupancy and rental rates and the amount of proceeds to be realized upon eventual disposition of such property at a terminal capitalization rate; and
• for investments in golf courses, future rounds and greens fees, operating expenses and capital expenditures, and the amount of proceeds to be realized upon eventual disposition of such properties at a multiple of terminal year cash flows.

for investments in golf courses, future rounds and greens fees, operating expenses and capital expenditures, and the amount of proceeds to be realized upon eventual disposition of such properties at a multiple of terminal year cash flows.

Other properties that management does not intend to sell in the near term or under current market conditions and has the ability to hold are evaluated for impairment based on management’s best estimate of the long-term use and eventual disposition of the property.

The results of impairment analyses for development and operating properties are particularly dependent on the estimated holding and selling period for each asset group, which can be up to 35 years for certain properties with long range development plans. The estimatedgroup. Based on our recently adopted risk-adjusted investment return criteria, these future holding period is based on management’s current intent for the use and disposition of each property, which could be subject to change in future periods if the strategic direction of the Company as set by management and approved by the Board of Directors were to change. If the excess of undiscounted cash flows over the carrying value of a property is small, there is a greater risk of future impairment in the event of such changes. Excluding any properties that have been written downreduced to fair value, at December 31, 2010 the Company has one development property with a carrying valuemaximum period of approximately $23 million whose current undiscounted cash flows is approximately 110% of its carrying value.

13 years.

Fair Value Measurements —Measurements.We follow the fair value provisions of ASC 820— Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(“ASC 820”) for our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1.  Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

        Level 1.Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2.  Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3.  Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, such as internally-developed valuation models which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.


29


Our assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 and 3 inputs in fair value calculations and the associated underlying assumptions include the following:

Investment in real estateestate. — Our investments in real estate are carried at cost unless circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If we determine that an impairment exists due to the inability to recover an asset’s carrying value, a provision for loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. If such assets were held for sale, the provision for loss would be recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value less costs to sell.

Depending on

For the asset,assets described above, we use varying methods to determine fair value, such as (i) analyzing expected discounted future cash flows, (ii) determining resale values by market, or (iii) applying a capitalization rate to net operating income using prevailing rates in a given market.

We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Homes and homesites substantially completed and ready for sale, which management intends to sell in the near term under current market conditions, are measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The fair value of these properties is determined based upon final sales prices of inventory sold during the period or estimates of selling prices based on current market data. Other properties that management does not intend to sell in the near term or under current market conditions including development and operating properties, are evaluated for impairment based on management’s best estimate of the long-term use and eventual disposition of the property. For projects under development, an estimate of future cash flows on an undiscounted basis is performed using estimated future expenditures necessary to maintain and complete the existing project and using management’s best estimates about future sales prices, sales volumes, sales velocity and holding periods. The estimated length of expected development periods, related economic cycles and inherent uncertainty with respect to these projects such as the impact of changes in development plans and our intent and ability to hold the projects through the development period, could result in changes to these estimates. For operating properties, an estimate of undiscounted cash flows requires management to make similar assumptions about the use and eventual disposition of such properties.
In the event that projected future undiscounted cash flows are not adequate to recover the carrying value of a property, impairment is indicated and we would be required under generally accepted accounting principles to write down the asset to its fair value. Fair value of a property may be derived either from discounting projected cash flows at an appropriate discount rate (10% to 20%), through appraisals of the underlying property, or a combination thereof.
Generally accepted accounting principles only allow an impairment to be recorded when the undiscounted cash flows for these properties are less than the carrying value. We do not calculate projected cash flows on a discounted basis, or obtain appraisals, to determine the fair values of such properties unless an impairment is indicated. The fair value of a property at a point in time may be less than its carrying value due to current market conditions.
In the event that our estimates of undiscounted cash flows are decreased in future periods due to changes in assumptions arising from economic or other factors, we could be required to recognize impairment losses. In addition, if our intentions to hold our real estate investments were to change, we could be required to recognize impairment losses.

Retained interest —. We have recorded a retained interest with respect to the monetization of certain installment notes through the use of qualified special purpose entities, which is recorded in other assets. The retained interest is an estimate based on the present value of cash flows to be received over the life of the installment notes. We recognize interest income over the life of the retained interest using the effective yield method with discount rates ranging from 2%-7%. This income adjustment is being recorded as an offset to loss on monetization of notes over the life of the installment notes. In addition, fair value may be adjusted at each reporting date when, based on management’s assessment of current information and events, there is a favorable or adverse change in estimated cash flows from cash flows previously projected.


30


Pension asset —asset.Our cash balance defined-benefit pension plan holds a royalty investment for which there is no quoted market price. Fair value of the royalty investment is estimated based on the present value of future cash flows, using management’s best estimate of key assumptions, including discount rates.

Standby guarantee liability —liability.On October 21, 2009, we entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Southwest Airlines to facilitate the commencement of low-fare air service in May 2010 to the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in Northwest Florida. We have agreed to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs losses on its service at the new airport during the first three years of service. The agreement also provides that Southwest’s

profits from the air service during the term of the agreement will be shared with us up to the maximum amount of our break-even payments. We measured the standby guarantee liability at fair value based upon a discounted cash flow analysis based on our best estimates of future cash flows to be paid by us pursuant to the strategic alliance agreement. These cash flows were estimated using numerous estimates including future fuel costs, passenger load factors, air fares, seasonality and the timing of the commencement of service. The fair value of the liability could fluctuate up or down significantly as a result of changes in assumptions related to these estimates and could have a material impact on our operating results.

Pension Plan. We sponsor a cash balance defined-benefit pension plan covering a majority of our employees. The accounting for pension benefits is determined by specialized accounting and actuarial methods using numerous estimates, including discount rates, expected long-term investment returns on plan assets, employee turnover, mortality and retirement ages, and future salary increases. Changes in these key assumptions can have a significant effect on the pension plan’s impact on the financial statements of the Company. For example, in 2010,2011, a 1% increase in the assumed long-term rate of return on pension assets would have resulted in a $0.8$0.7 million increase in pre-tax income ($0.50.4 million net of tax). However, a 1% decrease in the assumed long-term rate of return would have caused an equivalent decrease in pre-tax income. A 1% increase or decrease in the assumed discount rate would have resulted in a less than $0.1 million change in pre-tax income. Our pension plan was overfunded and we do not expect to make contributions to the pension plan in the future. The ratio of plan assets to projected benefit obligation was 240%236% at December 31, 2010.

2011.

Stock-Based Compensation. We offerhave offered stock incentive plans whereby awards may bewere granted to certain of our employees and non-employee directors in the form of restricted shares of our common stock or options to purchase our common stock. 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.

In February 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008,2009, we granted certain of ourselect executives and other key employees restricted stock awards with vesting based upon the achievement of certain market conditions that are defined as our total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of certain peer groups during a three-year performance period.

We currently usehave used a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value of our market condition awards. The determination of the fair value of market condition-based awards is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the requisite performance term of the awards, the relative performance of our stock price and shareholder returns compared to those companies in our peer groups and a risk-free interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the achievement of the market condition, provided the requisite service period is met.

Income Taxes. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, significant management judgment is required to estimate our income taxes. Our estimates are based on our interpretation of federal and state tax laws. We estimate our actual current tax due and assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our consolidated balance sheets. We record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets based upon our analysis of the timing and reversal of future taxable amounts and our history and future expectations of taxable income. Adjustments may be required by a change in assessment of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes due to audit adjustments by federal and state tax authorities, and changes in tax laws. To the extent adjustments are required in any given period we will include the


31


adjustments in the tax provision in our financial statements. These adjustments could materially impact our financial position, cash flow and results of operation.

At December 31, 2010, we2011, the Company had a federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $62.1$92.0 million and a state net operating loss carryforwardcarry forward of approximately $538.4$612.6 million. These net operating losses are available to offset future federal and state taxable income through 2030. At December 31, 2010, we recorded2031.

In general, a valuation allowance against certainis recorded if based on the weight of ouravailable evidence it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets of approximately $0.1 million. The valuation allowance at 2010 was related to state net operating and charitable loss carryforwards that in the judgment of management areasset will not likely to be realized.

At December 31, 2010, the Company determined that approximately $2.6had a valuation allowance of $1.0 million ($1.6 million net of tax) of stock compensation expense related to state net operating losses and charitable contribution carry forwards.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the accelerationFASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require (1) a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; (2) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements; and (3) a reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the service periodEffective Date for retirement eligible employeesAmendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Account Standards Update No. 2011-05. The amendments to the Codification in ASU No. 2011-12 are effective at the same time as the amendments in ASU No. 2011-05 described below so that entities will not be required to comply with the presentation requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 that ASU No. 2011-12 is deferring. The amendments are being made to allow the FASB time to redeliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. All other requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 are not affected by ASU No. 2011-12, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires comprehensive income to be reported in either a single statement that presents the components of net income, the components of other comprehensive income, and total comprehensive income or in two consecutive statements. The first statement should have been recognized in periods priorpresent total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to 2010. Accordingly,present components of other comprehensive income as part of the consolidated balance sheet for December 31, 2009 has been adjusted to reduce deferred income taxes, net, by $1.0 million and increase common stock by $2.6 million to reflect the correction of this error, with a corresponding $1.6 million reduction recorded to retained earnings. This correction is similarly reflected as an adjustment to common stock and retained earnings as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 in the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The correction of this error also affected the consolidated statements of operationsASU 2011-05 is effective for thefiscal years, endedand interim periods within those years, beginning after December 31, 2009 and 2008 and consolidated statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These corrections were not considered material to prior period financial statements.

During 2010, the Company determined that an additional liability for certain of its Community Development District (“CDD”) debt that is probable and reasonably estimable of repayment by the Company in the future should have been recognized in periods prior to 2010. Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheet for December 31, 2009 has been adjusted to increase debt and investment in real estate by $17.5 million. There was no impact on the consolidated statement of operations, cash flows or equity. This correction was not considered material to prior period financial statements.

The decrease in real estate sales revenues and costfor 2011 as compared with 2010 is primarily due to decreased sales in our rural land segment as a result of our planned reduction in large tract rural land sales, as well as weakened demand, partially offset by an increase of revenue in our residential segment. Cost of real estate sales increased and gross margin on real estate sales decreased during 2011 compared to 2010 primarily as a result of the higher proportion of residential sales compared to rural land sales. Residential real estate sales improved yet continued to remain weak in 2011, primarily, we believe due to oversupply, depressed prices in the Florida real estate markets, poor economic conditions and the residual uncertainty about the Gulf Coast region arising from the Deepwater Horizon incident.

The decrease in real estate sales revenues for 2010 as compared with 2009 is primarily due to a decrease of $48.7 million in sales in our residential real estate segment, partially offset by an increase of $11.6 million in revenue in our rural land segment. Revenues in 2009 included $32.2 million from the sale of non-strategic assets. Cost of real estate sales decreased during 2010 compared to 2009 primarily as a result of cost of sales related to the 2009 sale of non-strategic assets. Gross margin on real estate sales increased to 78% from 23% during 2010 compared to 2009 due to the relative mix of rural land sales. Residential real estate sales continued to remainwere weak in 2010, primarily as a result of many factors, including oversupply, depressed prices in the Florida real estate markets, poor economic conditions and the oil spill fromimpact of the Deepwater Horizon incident in the Gulf of Mexico.

The decrease

Resort and club revenues increased in real estate sales revenues during 20092011 as compared to 2008 was primarilywith 2010 due to our decision to decrease salesrate and occupancy increases at the WaterColor Inn and in our rural land sales segment. Approximately $14.3 million, or 10%, of our 2009 revenues were generated by rural land sales compared to $162.0 million, or 63%, in 2008.the vacation rental programs and increased activity at related resort operations. Cost of real estate salesresort and club revenues increased during 2009 compareddue to 2008 as a result of the sale of non-strategic assets within our residential real estate segment. Our gross margin on real estate sales decreased to 23% from 73% during 2009 compared to 2008, primarily as a result of the decrease in high margin rural land sales relative to our sales mix.

greater occupancy and activity levels. Resort and club revenues decreased by $0.3 million, or 1%, in 2010 as compared with 2009 due to lower vacation rental occupancy due to the Deepwater Horizon incident. Cost of resort and club revenues decreased by $0.8 million, or 2%, due to more efficient operations of our resort and clubs and reduced staffing levels. Resort and club revenues decreased during 2009 compared to 2008 due to lower vacation rental occupancy and lower hotel and vacation rental rates. Cost of resort and club revenues decreased during 2009 compared to 2008 as a result of reduced staffing levels and more efficient operation of our resort and clubs. Our gross margin on resort and club operations improved to (9) % during 2009 compared to (18) % during 2008 as a result of increased operating efficiencies. For further detailed discussion of revenues and expenses, see Segment Results below.

Timber revenues increased $2.2in 2011 as compared to 2010 primarily due to a $55.9 million or 8%,agreement for the sale of a timber deed. We recognized $54.4 million related to the timber deed with $1.4 million recorded as an imputed lease to be recognized over the 20 year life of the timber deed. Open market sales of timber also increased as a result of increased product percentage compared to total harvest. Cost of timber sales increased in 2011 as compared to 2010 due primarily to expenditures made to collect timber inventory data on the Company’s timberlands. Timber revenues increased in 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily due to improved prices for pine pulpwoodwoodfiber and sawtimber and payments received from the federal government under the Biomass Crop Assistance Program. Timber sales in 2009 approximated revenues achieved in 2008. Cost of timber sales increased $1.1 million, or 6%, in 2010 as compared to 2009 due primarily to expenditures made to collect timber inventory data on the Company’s timberlands. Cost of timber sales declined $0.6 million, or 4%, in 2009 as compared to 2008 due to a decrease in certain maintenance expenses.

Other operating expenses decreased by $5.2 million, or 13%,in 2011 compared to 2010 due to lower general and administrative expenses as a result of our continued restructuring efforts and a decrease in a litigation settlement accrued in 2010 which was paid in 2011. Other operating expenses decreased in 2010 compared to 2009 due to lower general and administrative expenses as a result of our restructuring efforts and the sale of certain properties in 2009, which reduced 2010 carrying costs, partially offset by athe $4.9 million reserve for litigation. Other operating expenses decreased by $13.5 million, or 25%,litigation accrued in 2009 over 2008. The decrease was due to lower general and administrative expenses primarily as a result of our restructuring efforts and reduction of certain carrying costs of properties.
2010.

Corporate Expense.Corporate expense, consistingwhich consists of corporate general and administrative expenses, increased $2.7$1.6 million, or 11%5%, in 2011 over 2010. Our cost savings initiatives through our restructuring efforts were offset by an increase in legal fees totaling $7.0 million primarily associated with the SEC inquiry, the securities class action lawsuit, the change in control of the company in the first part of 2011 and litigation related to a contract dispute. In addition, deferred compensation costs increased $3.0 million associated with the acceleration of restricted stock units resulting from the change in management control in February 2011.

During 2011, the Company discontinued its retiree medical benefits resulting in an employee insurance expense reduction of $5.5 million.

Corporate expense increased $1.9 million, or 8%, in 2010 over 2009. The increase in corporate expense is primarily due to legal fees and clean upcleanup costs totaling $4.2 million associated with costs resulting from the Deepwater Horizon incident. These costs were partially offset by a reduction in employee and administrative costs as a result of reduced headcount and cost savings initiatives. We may incur significant additional legal costs in the near term in connection with the Deepwater Horizon incident, the securities class action lawsuit, the SEC informal inquiry and other legal matters.

Corporate expense decreased $6.4 million, or 21%, to $24.3 million in 2009 over 2008. Our overall employee and administrative costs decreased as a result of a reduction in headcount. Lower payroll related costs in 2008 attributable to staffing reductions were offset by additional deferred compensation expense. During early 2008, we granted certain members of management shares of restricted stock with vesting conditions based on our performance over a three-year period. We recognized approximately $3.3 million of additional expense related to these grants during 2008.

Pension settlement charge.On June 18, 2009, as plan sponsor, we signed a commitment for the pension plan to purchase a group annuity contract from Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company for the benefit of the retired participants and certain other former employee participants in our pension plan. Current and former employees with cash balances in the pension plan were not affected by the transaction. The purchase price of the annuity was approximately $101.0 million, which was funded from the assets of the pension plan on June 25, 2009 and included a premium to assume these obligations. The transaction resulted in the transfer and settlement of pension benefit obligations of approximately $93.0 million which represented the obligation prior to the annuity purchase of the affected retirees and vested terminated employees. In addition, we recorded a non-cash pre-tax settlement charge to earnings during 2009 of $44.7 million and an offsetting $44.7 million pre-tax credit in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. As a result of this transaction, we were able to significantly increase the funded status ratio thereby reducing the potential for future funding requirements. We also recorded additional pension charges of $5.9 million, $4.1 million and $1.3 million during 2011, 2010 and $4.2 million during 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively, as a result of reduced employment levels in connection with our restructuring programs.

Impairment Losses.Losses. During the past three years,2011, we have recorded significant impairment charges primarily due to our change in real estate investment strategy. In 2010 and 2009, we recorded significant impairment charges, as a result of the decline in demand and market prices in our real estate markets. The following table summarizes our impairment charges for the three years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008:

In connection with implementing our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate thatnew real estate investment strategy, we reassessed the carrying amountvalue of our real estate and determined that an asset may not be recoverable. Homes and homesites substantially completed and ready for sale and which management intendsimpairment to sell in the near-term under current market conditions, are measured at the lowerrecord certain of carrying value orour assets to fair value less costs to sell. Other properties that management does not intend to sell in the near term or under current market conditions are evaluated for impairment based upon management’s best estimate of the long-term use and the eventual disposition of the property. For projects under development, an estimate of future cash flows on an undiscounted basis is performed using estimated future expenditures necessary to maintain and complete the existing project and using management’s best estimates about future sales prices and holding periods. The continued decline in demand and market prices for residential real estate during 2008 through 2010 caused us to reevaluate certain carrying amounts within our residential real estate segment. During 2010,was necessary. Accordingly, we recorded a $3.8non-cash charge for impairment in 2011 of $374.8 million. Earlier in 2011, we also recorded an $0.8 million impairment on our investment in East San Marco L.L.C., a joint venturedevelopment costs incurred on the indefinitely delayed construction of the Corporate headquarters building located in Jacksonville, Floridaat VentureCrossings and approximately $4.3$1.7 million in impairment charges on homes and homesites.

For further discussion, see Note 3, Impairments of Long-lived Assets, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Given the downturn in our real estate markets, we implemented a tax strategy in 2009 to benefit from the sale of certain non-strategic assets at a loss. Under federal tax rules, losses from asset sales realized in 2009


35


can be were carried back and applied to taxable income from 2007, resulting in a federal income tax refund for 2009.

As part of this strategy, during 2009, we conducted a nationally marketed sale process for the disposition of the remaining assets of our non-strategic Victoria Park community in Deland, Florida, including homes, homesites, undeveloped land, notes receivable and a golf course. Based on the likelihood of the closing of the sale, we determined on December 15, 2009 that an impairment charge for $67.8 million was necessary. We completed the sale on December 17, 2009 for $11.0 million.

In addition, we completed the sale of our SevenShores condominium and marina development project for $7.0 million earlier in 2009, which resulted in an impairment charge of $6.7 million due to lower market pricing.million. We also wrote-off $7.2 million of capitalized costs related to abandoned development plans in certain of our communities in 2009. We also sold our St. Johns Golf and Country Club for $3.0 million in December 2009 which resulted in an impairment charge of $3.5 million.

As a result of our property impairment analyses for 2008, we recorded impairment charges related to investment in real estate of $40.3 million consisting of $12.0 million related to completed homes in several communities and $28.3 million related to our SevenShores condominium and marina development project.
The SevenShores condominium project was written down in the fourth quarter of 2008 to approximate the fair market value of land entitled for 278 condominium units. This write-down was necessary because we elected not to exercise our option to acquire additional land under our option agreement. Certain costs had previously been incurred with the expectation that the project would include 686 units.

A continued decline in demand and market prices for our real estate products or further changes to management’s plans also may require us to record additional impairment charges in the future.

Notes Receivable:

We evaluate the carrying value of notes receivable at each reporting date. Notes receivable balances are adjusted to net realizable value based upon a review of entity specific facts or when terms are modified. During 2009, we settled our notes receivable with Saussy Burbank for less than book value and recorded a charge of $9.0 million. As part of the settlement, we agreed to take back previously collateralized inventory consisting of lots and homes which were valued at current estimated sales prices, less costs to sell. Subsequently, all the lots and homes were sold which resulted in an additional impairment charge of $1.1 million. We also recorded a charge of $7.4 million related to the write-off of the outstanding Advantis note receivable balance during 2009 as the amount was determined to be uncollectible.

In addition, we received a deed in lieu of foreclosure related to a $4.0 million builder note receivable during 2009 and renegotiated terms related to certain other builder notes receivable during 2010 2009 and 2008.2009. These events resulted in additional impairment charges of less than $0.1 million, $0.5 million and $1.9 million in 2011, 2010 and $1.0 million in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Because of the ongoing challenges in our real estate markets and tightened credit conditions, we may be required to record additional write-downs of the carrying value of our notes receivable and ultimately such notes may not be collectible.

Goodwill:
Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. An impairment is considered to exist if fair value is less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill. The estimated fair value is generally determined on the basis of discounted future cash flows. As of December 31, 2010, no goodwill is recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. During our 2008 year-end assessment, we determined that our remaining goodwill which originated from our 1997 acquisition of certain assets of Arvida Company and its affiliates was not recoverable based upon a discounted cash flow analysis. Accordingly, an impairment charge of $19.0 million was recorded in the residential real estate segment.

Restructuring Charges.  We announced on March 17, 2010 that we are relocating our corporate headquarters from Jacksonville, Florida to VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre our development adjacent toOn February 25, 2011, the


36


new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in Bay County, Florida. We are also consolidating existing offices from Tallahassee, Port St. Joe and Walton County Company entered into the new location. The relocation to our temporary headquarters facility in Walton County is expected to be completed during 2011.
We have incurred and expect to incur additional charges to earningsa Separation Agreement with Wm. Britton Greene in connection with his resignation as President, Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company. During 2011, we expensed $4.2 million of restructuring charges under the terms of this agreement (not including the additional $1.5 million of non-cash compensation expense arising from the accelerated vesting of Mr. Greene’s restricted stock grants).

On April 11, 2011, the Company entered into separation agreements with four additional members of senior management. Additionally, certain other employees were terminated pursuant to our current restructuring program. In 2011, we expensed $6.7 million related to the terminations including amounts under the terms of the separation agreements.

We recorded restructuring charges of $11.5 million in 2011 and $5.3 million in 2010 under our 2010 restructuring and relocation program related primarily to termination and relocation benefits forto employees, as well as certain ancillary facility-relatedfacility related costs. Such charges are expected to be cash expenditures. Based on employee responses to the announced relocation, we estimate that total relocation costs should be approximately $4.8 million (pre-tax), of which $2.5 million was recorded during 2010. The relocation costs include relocation bonuses, temporary lodging expenses, resettlement expenses, tax payments, shipping and storage of household goods, and closing costs for housing transactions. These estimates are based on significant assumptions, such as current home values, however actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Restructuring charges also include termination benefits in connection with our2006-2009 restructuring plans. We recorded restructuring charges of $5.3 million, $5.4 million and $4.3 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The charges primarily relaterelated to one-time termination benefits in connection with our employee headcount reductions.the 2009 restructuring. For further discussion, see Note 11,10, Restructuring, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Income (Expense).Other income (expense) consists primarily of investment income, interest expense, gains and losses on sales and dispositions of assets, fair value adjustment related to the retained interest of monetized installment note receivables, loss on early extinguishment of debt, expense related to our standby guarantee liability and other income. Total other (expense) income was $0.9 million, $(3.9) million and $4.2 million during 2011, 2010 and $(36.6) million during 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Investment income, net decreased approximately $0.3 million, or 23% during 2011 compared to 2010 primarily due to lower interest income related to the payoff of a rural land sale note receivable, and $1.2 million, or 45%, during 2010 as compared with 2009 and $3.4 million, or 56.1%, during 2009 as compared with 2008 bothyear-over-year decreases were attributabledue to lower investment returns on our cash balances.

Interest expense decreased by $4.7 million as compared to 2010 primarily due to the settlement and payment of interest related to the litigation reserve combined with decreases in interest expense related to the revolving credit facility and community development district debt obligations and increased by $7.5 million during 2010 as compared with 2009 primarily due to interest recorded on a reserve for litigation of $4.2 million and, to a lesser extent, interest on our community development district debt obligations not being capitalized in 2010 due to reduced spending levels. Interest expense decreased by approximately $3.3 million during 2009 as compared with 2008, primarily as a result of our reduced debt levels. During 2008 we recorded a $30.6 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt which consisted of $0.7 million related to the write-off of unamortized loan costs on our prior credit facility and $29.9 million in connection with the prepayment of our senior notes.

Other, net increased $0.5 million during 20102011 as compared with 20092010 primarily due to an increase in lease income and $10.4deferred gain on the sale of the office portfolio sold in 2008 and $0.5 million during 20092010 compared with 2008.2009. Included in 2009 is a $0.8 million expense related to our Southwest Airlines standby guarantee liability. Included in 2008 was a loss of $8.2 million related to the fair value adjustment of our retained interest in monetized installment notes receivable and $1.9 million related to the write-off of the net book value on certain abandoned property.

Equity in Loss of Unconsolidated Affiliates.We have investments in affiliates that are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. These investments consist primarily of three residential joint ventures, two of which are now substantially sold out. Equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliates totaled less than $(0.1) in 2011, $(4.3) million in 2010 and $(0.1) million in 2009, $(0.3) million in 2008.2009. During 2010, we determined that our investment in East San Marco, L.L.C. had experienced an other than temporary decline in value and we recorded a $3.8 million impairment charge to write our investment down to its current fair value.

Income Tax Benefit.Income tax benefit, including income tax on discontinued operations, totaled $(55.7) million, $(23.8) million $(85.7) million and $(27.9)$(85.7) million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008,2009, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 39.9%14.4%, 39.7%39.9% and 43.5%39.7% for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, and 2008, respectively. OurThe effective tax rate decreased to 14.4% due primarily to a valuation allowance established on the deferred tax asset which resulted from the impairment charges taken in 2009 compared to 2008 due to the impact of certain permanent items.

Discontinued Operations.Operations. Loss from discontinued operations consistsin 2009 consisted of the results associated with our Victoria Hills Golf Club, and St. Johns Golf and Country Club golf course operations and our sawmill and mulch plant (Sunshine State Cypress) the sales of our office building portfolio and Saussy Burbank.. Loss, net of tax, in 2009 totaled zero, $(6.8) million and $(1.6) million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The operating results associated with these assets have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented through the period in which they were sold.million. See Segment Results below for further discussion regarding our discontinued operations.

Segment Results

Residential Real Estate

Our residential real estate segment typically plans and develops mixed-use resort, primary and seasonal residential communities of various sizes, primarily on our existing land. We own large tracts of land in Northwest Florida, including significant Gulf of Mexico beach frontage and waterfront properties, and land near Jacksonville and Tallahassee.

Our residential sales are showing some signs of improvement in certain of our primary and seasonal residential communities. However, our residential sales remain weak. The real estate downturn, weak economic recovery, and the oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon incident in the Gulf of Mexico have all exerted negative pressure on the demand for real estate products in our markets. Inventories of resale homes and homesites remain high in our markets and prices remain depressed. We also believe that the oil spill negatively impacted our resort and club operating results during the summer of 2010. With the U.S. and Florida economies battling the adverse effects of home foreclosures, severely restrictive credit, significant inventories of unsold homes and recessionary economic conditions, the timing of a sustainable recovery remains uncertain.

We implemented a tax strategy in 2009, due to the ongoing downturn inall our real estate markets, to sell certain non-strategic assets and to carry-back any losses on the sales to our taxable income in 2007. We disposed of the remaining assets of Victoria Park, Artisan Park and the SevenShores condominium and marina development project, all located in Central Florida, and St. Johns Golf and Country Club in Northeast Florida. These four sales generated cash of $27.1 million and produced an aggregate tax benefit of approximately $35.1 million, which we received in 2010 as part of our federal tax refund. These sales also significantly reduced our holding costs going forward.
We devote resources to the conceptual design, planning and construction of certain key projects currently under development, and we will maintain this process for select communities going forward. The success of this strategy is dependent on our Board of Directors maintaining this strategy and our intent and ability to hold and sell these key projects, in most cases, over a long-term horizon.
We continue to plan our development efforts on reprogramming and repositioning certain of our existing residential projects in preparation for a future market recovery. For example, at our RiverTown community, we amended our Development Order to strategically reprioritize product delivery in response to market demand while at the same time deferring the need to incur certain costs. In another instance, we launched development efforts at our new Breakfast Point community responding to demand for primary housing in Bay County.
remains uncertain.

Home sales and home closings were constant during 2011 compared to 2010. Homesite closings and revenues increased for the year ended December 31, 2011 due to sales of homesites to national and local homebuilders. The sales to the homebuilders may generate additional revenues and gross profit in future periods upon the sale to the end-user. The gross profit margin on sales of homesites decreased year-over-year due to lower margins at our Breakfast Point Community compared to other primary community margins experienced in 2010.

For additional information about our residential projects, see the table “Summary of Land-Use Entitlements — Active St. Joe Residential and Mixed-Use Projects” in the Business section above.

Our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities included WaterColor, WaterSound Beach, WaterSound, WaterSound West Beach, WindMark Beach, RiverCamps on Crooked Creek, SummerCamp Beach and Wild Heron, while primary communities included Breakfast Point, Hawks Landing and Southwood. RiverTown is our only Northeast Florida primary community.

In addition to adverse market conditions and impacts from the Deepwater Horizon incident, the following factors contributed to the results of operations shown above:

For our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities, homesite closings and revenues increased in 2011 as compared with 2010 primarily due to the increased demand at our WaterColor and WaterSound West Beach communities.

In our Northwest Florida primary communities, homesite closings and revenue increased in 2011 as compared to 2010 due to sales to homebuilders some of which may generate additional revenues and gross profits in future periods upon the sale to the end-users.

In our Northeast Florida primary community, homesite closings and revenue increased in 2011 as compared to 2010 due to sales to homebuilders at our RiverTown community.

Resort and club revenues include revenue from the WaterColor Inn, WaterColor, WaterSound Beach and WindMark Beach vacation rental programs and other resort and golf, club and marina operations. Resort and club revenues were $36.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, with $34.9 million in related costs as compared to revenue totaling $29.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, with $31.5 million in related costs. Revenues increased by $6.6 million primarily due to rate increases at the WaterColor Inn and rate increases and higher occupancy in the vacation rental programs. The increase in costs was related to the increased occupancy.

Other operating expenses include salaries and benefits, marketing, project administration, support personnel, other administrative expenses and litigation reserves. Other operating expenses were $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared with $23.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease of $9.7 million in operating expenses was primarily due to reductions in employee costs, marketing and homeowners association funding costs, certain warranty and other costs and real estate taxes.

Impairment losses increased $356.2 million during 2011 as compared to 2010 which was primarily due to the adoption of our new real estate investment strategy. See Note 3 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We recorded restructuring charges in our residential real estate segment of $0.7 million and $1.0 million during 2011 and 2010, respectively, in connection with our 2011 and 2010 restructuring programs.

Other expense decreased $3.5 million during 2011 as compared to 2010 which was primarily due to interest expense of $4.1 million in 2010 for litigation involving a contract dispute related to a 1997 purchase of land for our former Victoria Park Community, which was settled and paid in 2011.

Home sales and home closings decreased during 2010 compared to 2009 primarily as a result of a decrease in the inventory of finished homes. The company has exited the homebuilding business to retail customers. As a result of this strategy, homesite closings and revenues increased for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to sales of homesites to national and local homebuilders. The sales to the homebuilders may generate additional revenues and gross profit in future periods upon the sale to the end-user. The gross profit margin on sales of homesites remained constantyear-over-year.

Although not included in the homes and homesites table, real estate sales include land sales of $0.2 million with related cost of sales of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. In 2009, land sales and land costscost of sales of $26.1 million were included in real estate sales.

In addition to adverse market conditions and impacts from the Deepwater Horizon incident, the following factors also contributed to the results of operations shown above:

For our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities, home closings and revenues decreased in 2010 as compared with 2009 primarily due to the reduction in inventory of homes as a result the company’s exit from the homebuilding business. WaterSound West Beach and SummerCamp Beach communities each had one sale of a home during 2010.

In our Northwest Florida primary homesite closings and revenue increased in 2010 as compared to 2009 due to sales to homebuilders some of which may generate additional revenues and gross profits in future periods upon the sale to the end-users.

• In our Northeast Florida communities, no homes were available for sale as we sold our last remaining home in St. Johns Golf and Country Club in 2009.
• In our Central Florida communities, the remaining available product was sold at Artisan Park during 2009.

In our Northeast Florida communities no homes were available for sale as we sold our last remaining home in the St. Johns Golf and Country Club community in 2009.

In our Central Florida communities the remaining available product was sold at the Artisan Park community during 2009.

Resort and club revenues include revenue from the WaterColor Inn, WaterColor, WaterSound Beach and WindMark Beach vacation rental programs and other resort and golf, club and marina operations. Resort and

club revenues were $29.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, with $31.5 million in related costs as compared to revenue totaling $29.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, with $32.3 million in related costs. Revenues decreased by $0.3 million as a result of the oil spill from the DeepDeepwater Horizon incident in the Gulf of Mexico partially offset by increased golf club revenues generated by opening certain courses to public play. Cost of resort and club revenues decreased $0.8 million as a result of more efficient operation of our resorts and clubs.
Other operating expenses include salaries and benefits, marketing, project administration, support personnel, other administrative expenses and litigation reserves.

Other operating expenses were $23.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared with $30.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease of $6.9 million in operating expenses was primarily due to reductions in employee costs, marketing and homeowners association funding costs, certain warranty and other costs and real estate taxes. The decrease was partially offset by a $4.9 million reserve for litigation involving a contract dispute related to a 1997 purchase of land for our former Victoria Park Community.

We recorded restructuring charges in our residential real estate segment of $1.0 million and $0.9 million during 2010 and 2009, respectively, in connection with our corporate headquarters relocation.

Other expense increased $6.7 million during 2010 as compared to 2009 which was primarily due to interest expense of $4.1 million related to the litigation reserve as discussed above and to a lesser extent, interest expense related to Community Development District notes (“CDD”) in our Southwood and Rivertown communities which was capitalized in 2009, but not in 2010.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2008
Real estate sales include sales of homes and homesites. Cost of real estate sales includes direct costs (e.g., development and construction costs), selling costs and other indirect costs (e.g., construction overhead, capitalized interest, warranty and project administration costs). Resort and club revenues and cost of resort and club revenues include results of operations from the WaterColor Inn, WaterColor and WaterSound vacation rental programs and other resort, golf, club and marina operations. Other revenues and cost of other revenues consist primarily of brokerage fees and rental operations.

Home sales and home closings increased during 2009 compared to 2008 primarily as a result of our exit of the Artisan Park community through the auction of our remaining condominium units. In addition, sales increases were achieved from reductions in pricing in an effort to accelerate sales of existing vertical inventory even though adverse market conditions continued. Homesite sales and closings decreased in 2009 compared to 2008 due to a decrease in bulk sales to national homebuilders and reduced demand. Gross profit margin decreased in 2009 compared to 2008, primarily due to a decrease in the average sales price and product location and mix.

Although not included in the homes and homesites tables, real estate revenues and cost of sales also included land sales of $26.1 million and $0.6 million and land cost of sales of $26.1 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The 2009 real estate revenues and cost of sales consisted primarily of $12.5 million at SevenShores, $10.4 million at Victoria Park (excluding $0.6 million of golf course revenues and cost of sales, which are included in discontinued operations) and $2.8 million of Saussy Burbank property.

Our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities included WaterColor, WaterSound Beach, WaterSound, WaterSound West Beach, WindMark Beach, RiverCamps on Crooked Creek, SummerCamp Beach and Wild Heron, while primary communities included Hawks Landing and Southwood. Our Northeast Florida communities included RiverTown and St. Johns Golf and Country Club, and our Central Florida communities included Artisan Park and Victoria Park, all of which are primary.
In addition to adverse market conditions, the following factors also contributed to the results of operations shown above:
• For our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities, home closings and revenues increased in 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily due to the sale of the 17 remaining homes in phase 4 of our WaterColor community. These sales were the result of price reductions on the remaining homes. Included in 2008 was the recognition of $0.9 million of deferred revenue on our SummerCamp Beach community since the required infrastructure was completed.
• In our Northwest Florida primary communities, we closed on our last remaining home in Palmetto Trace in 2008. Homesite closings and revenues decreased in 2009 as compared to 2008 due to a decrease in bulk sales to a national homebuilder in our SouthWood community.
• In our Northeast Florida communities, we sold our last remaining home in St. Johns Golf and Country Club in 2009.

• In our Central Florida communities, a successful home auction was completed and the remaining available product was sold at Artisan Park during 2009.
Resort and club revenues included revenues from the WaterColor Inn, WaterColor, WaterSound Beach and WindMark Beach vacation rental programs and other resort, golf, club and marina operations. Resort and club revenues were $29.7 million in 2009 with $32.3 million in related costs, compared to $32.7 million in 2008 with $38.6 million in related costs. Resort and club revenues decreased $3.0 million due to lower vacation rental occupancy and lower hotel and vacation rental rates. Cost of resort and club revenues decreased $6.3 million as a result of reduced staffing levels and more efficient operation of our resort and clubs.
Other operating expenses included salaries and benefits, marketing, project administration, support personnel and other administrative expenses. Other operating expenses were $30.8 million in 2009 compared to $43.0 million in 2008. The decrease of $12.2 million in operating expenses was primarily due to reductions in employee costs, marketing and homeowners association funding costs, certain warranty and other project costs and real estate taxes. These decreases were partially offset by costs related to overhead costs of our real estate projects that were expensed in 2009 instead of capitalized due to lack of active development activity.
We recorded restructuring charges in our residential real estate segment of $0.9 million during 2009 and $1.2 million in 2008 in connection with our headcount reductions.
Discontinued Operations

In December 2009, we sold our remaining property at Victoria Park, including the Victoria Hills Golf Club, andClub. In addition, we sold St. Johns Golf and Country Club.Club during December 2009. We have classified the operating results associated with these golf courses as discontinued operations as the golf courses had identifiable cash flows and operating results. Included in 2009 discontinued operations are $6.9 million and $3.5 million (pre-tax) of impairment charges to approximate fair value, less costs to sell, related to the sales of the Victoria Hills Golf Club and St. Johns Golf and Country Club, respectively.

Similar to the markets for residential real estate, the markets for commercial real estate have experienced a significant downturn. In addition to the negative effects of the prolonged downturn in demand for residential real estate, commercial real estate markets have also been negatively affected by the prolonged weakness of the general economy.

economy and continuing uncertainty about the Gulf Coast region as a result of the Deepwater Horizon incident.

Much of our current commercial real estate activity is focused on the opportunities presented by the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, which opened in May 2010 and is surrounded by our properties in the West Bay Sector. During 2011, we entered into a build-to-suit lease with ITT Corporation for a 10.8 acre site at VentureCrossings. Construction is expected to be completed in late 2012 with rent commencing in early 2013. We believealso entered into a build-to-suit with Hardees for a 0.9 acre site in Panama City Beach. Construction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012 with rent commencing in the second quarter of 2012. Upon completion of the construction, we will own these commercial opportunities will be significantly enhanced by Southwest Airlines’ service tofacilities and collect ground and building rent under long-term leases. Late in the new airport. We expect, over time, thatsecond quarter of 2011, we began collecting rent from the new international airport will expand our customer base as it connects Northwest Floridabuild-to-suit lease with CVS Pharmacy in Port St. Joe and revenue from the global economy and helps reposition the area from a regional to a national destination.

We initiated development activity in 2010 at our VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre, an approximately 1,000 acre project adjacent to the new airport. The project is being developed for office, retail, hotel and industrial users. Site development has begun in anticipation of a new office building and a 300-space long-termthree hundred space covered parking facility at the entrance to the airport.
In December of 2010, we entered into a ground lease with Express Lane, Inc. for approximately 2.1 acres ofNorthwest Florida Beaches International Airport. These projects will contribute to our land near the new airport. Express Lane will construct a gas station, convenience store and restaurant operation on the land and pay rent to us for the land pursuant to the lease.

There were three additional commercial sales in Northwest Florida for a total of eight acres at an average price of $158,000 per acre. We also entered intobuild-to-suit leases with CVS Pharmacy on a 1.7 acre site that we own in Port St. Joe and with a Hardee’s franchisee on a 0.8 acre site in Panama City Beach. Upon completion of construction, we will own both facilities and collect rents in accordance with long-term leases.

Impairment losses during 2011 are primarily due to the adoption of the new real estate investment strategy. See Note 3 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other income during 2011, 2010, 2009 and 20082009 includes approximately $0.7 million of recognized gain previously deferred associated with three buildings sold in 2007 which we havehad a sale and leaseback arrangement with the buyer.

Rural Land Sales

Our rural land sales segment markets and sells tracts of land of varying sizes for rural recreational, conservation and timberland uses. The land sales segment at times prepares land for sale for these uses through harvesting, thinning and other silviculture practices, and in some cases, limited infrastructure development. While we have reduced our offerings of rural land, like residential and commercial land, demand for rural land has also declined as a result of the current difficult market conditions.

The table below sets forth the results of operations of our rural land sales segment for the three years ended December 31, 2010.

In recent years, our revenue from rural land sales has significantly decreased as a result of our decision to sell only non-strategic rural land and to principally use our rural land resources to create sources of recurring revenue, as well as from declines in demand and pricing for rural land due to difficult current market conditions. In 2011, we continued to minimize the sale of rural land at today’s depressed prices and expect to continue this strategy in 2012. We may however, rely on rural land sales as a significant source of revenue and cash in the future. In 2009, we began selling wetland mitigation credits to third parties from our two federal and state wetland mitigation banks. We own and operate these two wetland mitigation banks and by conducting certain prescribed land management and timbering activities that enhance and restore the wetlands in these banks, we are allowed to sell credits that enable third parties to obtain environmental permits from the federal and state regulatory authorities.

During 2011, we closed four land transactions totaling 259 acres at an average price of $13,374 per acre and sold 7.08 mitigation credits for $70,339 per credit generating $0.5 million in revenue. Average sales prices per acre vary according to the characteristics of each particular piece of land being sold and its highest and best use. As a result, average prices will vary from one period to another.

During 2010, we also conveyed 2,148 acres to the Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”) as part of our approximate 3,900 acre sale to FDOT in 2006. As a result, we recognized $20.6 million of previously deferred revenue and gain of $20.2 million on this transaction. There was an additional $0.4 million of sales and gain recognized during 2010 from other deferred sales, as well as $0.4 million from the granting of an easement. Also included in real estate sales for 2010 was $1.4 million related to the sale of 21 mitigation bank credits at an average sales price of $68,333 per credit. We own and manage two wetlands areas from which we sell mitigation credits to developers, utility companies, and other users when they need to impact other wetlands areas in the course of their businesses. We began selling credits from our wetlands mitigation banks in late 2009.
During 2009, we made a strategic decision to sell fewer acres of rural land as we generated cash from other sources. We continued this strategy during 2010 and expect to continue this strategy in 2011. During 2008 we relied on rural land sales as a significant source of revenues due to the continuing downturn in our residential and commercial real estate markets. We consider the land sold to be non-strategic as these parcels would require a significant amount of time before realizing a higher and better use than timberland. We may, however, rely on rural land sales as a significant source of revenues and cash in the future.
Average sales prices per acre vary according to the characteristics of each particular piece of land being sold and its highest and best use. As a result, average prices will vary from one period to another.

Forestry

Our forestry segment focuses on the management and harvesting of our extensive timber holdings. We grow, harvest and sell sawtimber, pulpwoodwood fiber and forest products and provide land management services for conservation properties. In 2011, an inventory of all our pine plantations was completed and a new software platform was implemented to facilitate management of the rural land holdings on a sustainable basis with regard to asset and harvest levels. These initiatives for the forestry segment have enabled the marketing of products to more diverse customers and the focus on market development. This plan made available approximately 70,000 acres for multiple uses including timber management on land previously held back from silviculture activities. On February 27, 2009, we completed the sale of the inventory and equipment assets of Sunshine State Cypress. The results of operations for Sunshine State Cypress are set forth below as discontinued operations.

The table below sets forth the results of our continuing operations of our forestry segment for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008.

RockTenn has a Panama City mill which is the largest consumer of pine pulpwood logs within the immediate area in which most of our timberlands are located. OnIn November 18, 2010, we entered into a new wood fiber supply agreement with Smurfit-Stone, which expires on December 31, 2017.was recently acquired by RockTenn, (the “Wood Fiber Supply Agreement”). The new agreement replaces the existing wood fiber supplyan agreement that we entered into in July 2000 and that was scheduled to expire onin June 30, 2012. Sales under the wood fiber supply agreementsagreement with Smurfit-StoneRockTenn were $15.6 million (609,000 tons) compared to $15.0 million (683,000 tons) in 2010 and $14.9 million (701,000 tons) in 2009. During 2010,2011, we delivered fewer tons to Smurfit-StoneRockTenn under the fiber agreementsagreement while the sales price per ton increased.

Open market sales totaled $16.3 million (616,000 tons) as compared to $12.8 million (500,000 tons) in 2010 as compared toand $11.1 million (544,000 tons) in 2009. TheThis increase in revenue for open market sales of $1.7$3.5 million or 15%27% was a result of improved log pricing partially offset by a reductionan increase in log sales volume. Net stumpage pricesvolume and an increase in the sales price per ton to RockTenn.

On March 31, 2011, we entered into a $55.9 million agreement for sawtimberthe sale of a timber deed which gives the purchaser the right to harvest timber on specific tracts of land (encompassing 40,975 acres) over a maximum term of 20 years (the “Timber Agreement”). As part of the agreement, we also entered into a Thinnings Supply Agreement to purchase first thinnings of timber included in the timber deed at fair market value from the investment fund. We recognized revenue of $54.5 million related to the timber deed in 2011, with $1.4 million recorded as an imputed lease to be recognized over the life of the timber deed. The resulting pre-tax gain on this timber deed transaction, net of cost of sales and pulpwood increasedyear-over-year due to improved end-user marketsdepletion of $4.2 million was $50.3 million.

Our 2011, 2010 and reduced availability of raw materials.

Our 2010, 2009 and 2008 sales revenues included $0.3 million, $0.5 million $0.6 million and $0.3$0.6 million, respectively, related to land management services performed in connection with certain conservation properties. We plan to seek other customersrevenue we received for our conservation land management services. Also,The 2010 revenue also included in revenue for 2010 is $0.6 million related to the Biomass Crop Assistance Program sponsored by the federal government during the first four months of 2010. We are continuing to explore alternative sources of revenue from our extensive timberland and rural land holdings.

Gross margins as a percentage of revenue, excluding the timber deed transaction, were 32% in 2011, 30% in 2010 and 28% in 2009 and 26%2009. The increase in 2008.margins from 2011 over 2010 was a result of an increase in revenues related to the fiber agreement, a decrease in timber inventory costs offset by an increase in costs to purchase first thinnings from the Thinnings Supply Agreement contracted in 2011. The increase in margin from 2010 to 2009 was a result of an increase in sales price per ton partially offset by an increase in cost of sales of $1.1 million due primarily to expenditures made to collect timber inventory data on our timberlands. The increase in margin from 2008 to 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in certain maintenance expenses included in cost of sales.

Other income consists primarily of income from hunting leases.

On February 27, 2009, we sold our remaining inventory and equipment assets related to our Sunshine State Cypress mill and mulch plant for $1.6 million. We received $1.3 million in cash and a note receivable of $0.3 million, themillion. The balance of which is $0.2 million as of December 31, 2010.the note was paid in the first quarter 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generated cash during 2010 from operations, tax refunds and proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

We used cash during 20102011 primarily for operations, restructuring costs, litigation costs, real estate development and construction, and payments of property taxes.

As of December 31, 2010,2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $183.8$162.4 million, compared to $163.8$183.8 million as of December 31, 2009.2010. Our increasedecrease in cash and cash equivalents in 20102011 primarily relates to our operating activities as described below.

We invest our excess cash primarily in bank deposit accounts, government-only money market mutual funds, short-termshort term U.S. treasury investments and overnight deposits, all of which are highly liquid, with the intent to make such funds readily available for operating expenses and strategic long-term investment purposes.

We have a

On June 28, 2011, the Company notified Branch Banking and Trust Company that it was exercising its right to early terminate the $125 million revolving credit facility with Branch Banking and Trust Company (“BB&T”) and Deutsche Bank that expireswhich was scheduled to mature on September 19, 2012. The termination was effective on July 1, 2011. The Company did not incur any prepayment penalties in connection with the early termination of the Credit Agreement.

We believe that our current cash position and our anticipated cash flows will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our currently anticipated working capital needs and capital expenditures.

We have the optioncommitments to request an increaseincur approximately $33.6 million in the principal amount available under the credit facility upcapital expenditures during 2012. These capital expenditures primarily relate to $200 million through syndication on a best efforts basis.

We have pledged 100% of the membership interests in our largest subsidiary, St. Joe Timberland Company of Delaware, LLC, as security for the credit facility. We have also agreed that upon the occurrence of an event of default, St. Joe Timberland Company of Delaware, LLC will grant to the lenders a first priority pledge ofand/or a lien on substantially all of its assets.

As more fully described in Note 13, Debt in our Consolidated Financial Statements, the credit facility contains covenants relating to leverage, unencumbered asset value, net worth, liquidity and additional debt. The credit facility does not contain a fixed charge coverage covenant. The credit facility also contains various restrictive covenants pertaining to acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, asset dispositions and liens. The amendment also limits the amount of our investments not otherwise permitted by the credit facility to $175.0 million and the amount of our additional debt not otherwise permitted by the credit facility to $175.0 million. We were in compliance with our debt covenants at December 31, 2010.
On October 21, 2009, we entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Southwest Airlines to facilitate the commencement of low-fare air service to the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. Service at the new airport consists of two daily non-stop flights from Northwest Florida to each of four destinations for a total of eight daily non-stop flights.
We have agreed to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs losses on its service at the new airport during the first three years of service. The agreement also provides that Southwest’s profits fromservice by making break-even payments. There has been no reimbursement required since the air service during the termeffective date of the agreement will be shared with us upin May 2010.

On March 31, 2011, we entered into the Timber Agreement which gives the purchaser the right to theharvest timber on specific tracts of land (encompassing 40,975 acres) over a maximum amountterm of our break-even payments. These cash payments and reimbursements could have a significant effect on our cash flows and results of operations depending on the results of Southwest’s operations of the air service. There were no reimbursements to Southwest Airlines during 2010; no losses were incurred per the agreed upon services.

The term20 years. As part of the agreement, extends for a periodwe also entered into the Thinning Supply Agreement to purchase first thinnings of three years ending May 23, 2013. Although the agreement does not provide for maximum payments, the agreement may be terminated by us if the payments to Southwest exceed $14 milliontimber included in the timber deed at fair market value from the investment fund. During 2011, we purchased approximately $1.2 million of first year of air service and $12 million in the second year of air service. Southwest may terminate the agreement if its actual annual revenues attributable to the air service at the new airport are less than certain minimum annual amounts established in the agreement. In order to mitigate potential losses that may arise from changes in Southwest Airlines’ jet fuel costs, we have entered into a short-term premium neutral collar arrangement with respect to the underlying cost of jet fuel for a portion of Southwest Airlines’ estimated fuel volumes.
In November 2010, we entered into a new fiber supply agreement with Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation that requires us to deliver and sell a total of 3.9 million tons of pine pulpwood through December, 2017. Pricing under the agreement approximates market, using a formula based on published regional prices for pine pulpwood. The agreement is assignable by us, in whole or in part, to purchasers of our properties, or any interest therein, and does not contain a lien, encumbrance, or use restriction on any of our properties.
We believe that our current cash position, our undrawn $125.0 million revolving credit facility and the cash we anticipate generating from operating activities will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our near-term working capital needs and capital expenditures and provide us with the financial flexibility to withstand the current market downturn.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows related to assets ultimately planned to be sold, including residential real estate development and related amenities, sales of undeveloped and developed land by the rural land sales segment, our timberland operations and land developed by the commercial real estate segment, are included in operating activities on the statement of cash flows.

Net cash provided byused in operations was $16.3$(9.8) million during 2010 as compared with $50.7 million during 2009, and $48.5 million during 2008.2011. Total capital expenditures for our residential real estate segment in 2010,

2009 and 20082011 were $7.0 million, $13.4 million and $27.1 million, respectively. The 2008 expenditures were net of an $11.6 million reimbursement received from a community development district (“CDD”) bond issue at one of our residential communities.$12.1 million. Additional capital expenditures in 2010, 2009 and 20082011 totaled $7.8$16.2 million $2.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively, and primarily related to commercial real estate development.

The expenditures 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. Prior to 2009, we devoted significant resources to the development of several new large-scale residential communities, including WindMark Beach, RiverTown and WaterSound. Because of adverse market conditions and the substantial progress on these large-scale developments, we have significantly reduced our capital expenditures over the past three years. We expect our 20112012 capital expenditures to increase slightly compared with 20102011 levels asprimarily at RiverTown, Breakfast Point and for the development of our land progresses, including construction of our corporate headquarters in VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre. However, a portion of this spending is discretionary and will only be spent if the risk adjusted return warrants. We anticipate that future capital commitments will be funded through our cash balances, operations and credit facility.

During 2011, we spent $11.5 million related to one time termination benefits to employees under our 2011 restructuring program and our 2010 we received $67.7and 2009 restructuring and relocation programs. We also spent $9.4 million in tax refunds due to the tax planning strategy we implemented in 2009 in order to take advantage of certain tax loss carrybacks which expired in 2009. In 2009, we received $32.3 in tax refunds for loss carryforwards associated with our 2006 through 2008 tax years. We had no income tax receivable at December 31, 2010.

During 2009, we received $11.0 million from the saleon a previously accrued litigation settlement over a contract dispute concerning one of our Victoria Park community which consisted of homes, homesites, undeveloped land, notes receivable and a golf course and $3.0 million from the sale of our St. Johns Golf and Country Club golf course. In addition, we received approximately $7.0 million in cash proceeds in connection with the sale of our SevenShores condominium and marina development project during 2009. The cash flows associated with our discontinued golf course operations were not material to our operating cash flows.
On June 18, 2009, as plan sponsor, we signed a commitment for the pension plan to purchase a group annuity contract from Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company for the benefit of the retired participants and certain other former employee participants in our pension plan. The purchase price of the group annuity contract was approximately $101 million, which was funded from the assets of the pension plan on June 25, 2009. As a result of this transaction, we significantly increased the funding status ratio of our pension plan and reduced the potential for future funding requirements.
During 2008, we increased our operating cash flows as a result of large tract rural land sales. During 2008, we sold a total of 79,031 acres of timberland in three separate transactions in exchange forresidential communities.

15-year installment notes receivable in the aggregate amount of $108.4 million, which installment notes are fully backed by irrevocable letters of credit issued by Wachovia Bank, N.A. (now a subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company). We received $96.1 million in net cash proceeds from the monetization of these installment notes. We did not enter into any installment note sales during 2009 or 2010.

On March 3, 2008, we sold 17,145,000 shares of our common stock, at a price of $35.00 per share. We received net proceeds of $580.1 million in connection with the public offering which were used to prepay in full (i) a $100 million term loan, (ii) the entire outstanding balance (approximately $160 million) of our previous $500 million senior revolving credit facility and (iii) senior notes with an outstanding principal amount of $240.0 million together with a make-whole amount of approximately $29.7 million.
As previously discussed, we monetized notes receivable from rural land installment sales in 2008. Proceeds from these transactions were used to reduce debt.
CDD bonds financed the construction of infrastructure improvements at several 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 have recorded a liability for CDD debt that is associated with platted property, which is the point at which the assessments become fixed or determinable. Additionally, we have recorded a liability for the balance of the CDD debt that is associated with unplatted property if it is probable and reasonably estimable that we will ultimately be responsible for repaying either as the property is sold by us or when assessed to us by the CDD. Accordingly, we have recorded debt of $29.4 million and $29.9$30.2 million related to CDD debt as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.2011. Total outstanding CDD debt was $57.7 million and $58.5$56.8 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We retired approximately $30.0 million of CDD debt with the proceeds of our common stock offering during 2008.
Executives have surrendered a total of 2,472,017 shares of our stock since 1998 in payment of strike prices and taxes due on exercised stock options and vested restricted stock. 2011.

Cash flows from discontinued operations are reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows as operating, investing and financing along with our continuing operations for 2009 and 2008.

During 2008 and 2007, we sold 79,031 acres and 53,024 acres, respectively, of timberland in exchange for15-year installment notes receivable in the aggregate amount of $108.4 million and $74.9 million, respectively. The installment notes are fully backed by irrevocable letters of credit issued by Wachovia Bank, N.A. (now a subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company). We contributed the installment notes to bankruptcy remote qualified special purpose entities. The entities’ financial position and results are not consolidated in our financial statements.

During 2008 and 2007, the entities monetized $108.4 million and $74.9 million, respectively, of installment notes by issuing debt securities to third party investors equal to approximately 90% of the value of the installment notes. Approximately $96.1 million and $66.9 million in net proceeds were distributed to us during 2008 and 2007, respectively. The debt securities are payable solely out of the assets of the entities and proceeds from the letters of

credit. The investors in the entities have no recourse against us for payment of the debt securities or related interest expense. We have recorded a retained interest with respect to all entities of $10.3$10.7 million for all installment notes monetized through December 31, 2010,2011, 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 management’s best estimates of underlying assumptions, including credit risk and interest rates. In accordance with ASC 325,Investments — Other, Subtopic 40 — Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, fair value is adjusted at each reporting date when, based on management’s assessment of current information and events, there is a favorable or adverse change in estimated cash flows from cash flows previously projected. We did not record any impairment adjustments as a result of changes in previously projected cash flows during 2010, 2009 and 2008. We deferred approximately $97.1 million and $63.4 million of gain for income tax purposes through this installment sale structure during 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk related to our $125 million credit facility. As of December 31, 2010, we had no amounts drawn under our credit facility. The interest on borrowings under the credit facility is based on either LIBOR rates or certain base rates established by the credit facility. The applicable interest rate for LIBOR rate loans is based on the higher of (a) an adjusted LIBOR rate plus the applicable interest margin (ranging from 2.00% to 2.75%), determined based on the ratio of our total indebtedness to total asset value, or (b) 4.00%. The applicable interest rate for base rate loans is based on the higher of (a) the prime rate or (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, plus the applicable interest margin (ranging from 1.00% to 1.75%). The credit facility also has an unused commitment fee payable quarterly at an annual rate of 0.50%.

The table below presents principal amounts and related weighted average interest rates by year of maturity for our long-term debt. The weighted average interest rates for our fixed-rate long-term debt are based on the actual rates as of December 31, 2010.

We estimate the fair value of long-term debt based on current rates available to us for loans of the same remaining maturities. As the table incorporates only those exposures that exist as of December 31, 2010,2011, it does not consider exposures or positions that could arise after that date. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss will depend on future changes in interest rates and market values.

were effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the quarter ended December 31, 20102011 there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

(c) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined inRules 13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria described inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Based on our assessment and those criteria, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.2011. Management reviewed the results of their assessment with our Audit Committee. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20102011 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report which is included below.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

The St. Joe Company:

We have audited The St. Joe Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The St. Joe Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, The St. Joe Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of The St. Joe Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity, and cash flow for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010 and the related financial statement schedule,2011 and our report dated March 2, 2011,February 23, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and the related financial statement schedule.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

The St. Joe Company:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The St. Joe Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity, and cash flow for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010.2011. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement Schedule III — Consolidated Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The St. Joe Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010,2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), The St. Joe Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 2, 2011,February 27, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

1.  Nature of Operations

1. Nature of Operations

The St. Joe Company (the “Company”) is a real estate development company primarily engaged in residential, commercial and industrial development and rural land sales.sales in Northwest Florida. The Company also has significant interests in timber. Most of its real estate operations, as well as its timber operations, are within the State of Florida. Consequently, the Company’s performance particularly that of its real estate operations is significantly affected by the general health of the Florida economy.

During 2009, the Company sold non-strategic assets including its Victoria Park community, which consisted of homesites, homes, undeveloped land, notes receivable and a golf course, St. Johns Golf and Country Club golf course and its SevenShores condominium and marina development project. The Company also sold its remaining inventory and equipment assets related to its cypress sawmill and mulch plant, Sunshine State Cypress, Inc. during 2009, which assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2008. Certain operating results associated with these entities have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented through the period in which they were sold. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations.

The Company currently conducts primarily all of its business in four reportable operating segments: residential real estate, commercial real estate, rural land sales and forestry.

Real Estate

The residential real estate segment typically plans and develops mixed-use resort, primary and seasonal residential communities of various sizes primarily on its existing land. The Company owns large tracts of land in Northwest Florida, including large tracts near Tallahassee and Panama City, and significant Gulf of Mexico beach frontage and waterfront properties. The Company devotes resources to the conceptual design, planning, permitting and construction of certain key projects currently under development, and the Company will maintain this process for certain select communities going forward. The success of this strategy is dependent on the Company’s intent and ability to hold and sell these key projects, in most cases, over a long-term horizon.

The commercial real estate segment plans, develops and entitles our land holdings for a broad portfolio of retail, multi-family, office, hotel, industrial uses and rental income. The Company develops, sells or leases and develops commercial land and provides development opportunities for national and regional commercial retailers and strategic partners in Northwest Florida. The Company also offers for sale land for commercial and light industrial uses within large and small-scale commerce parks, as well as for a wide range of multi-family residential rental projects.

The rural land sales segment markets and sells tracts of land of varying sizes for rural recreational, conservation, residential and timberland uses located primarily in Northwest Florida. 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 development activity including improved roads, ponds and fencing. WeThe Company also sellsells wetland mitigation credits to developers from ourits wetland mitigation banks, and sellsells easements for utility and road rightsright of way.

ways.

Forestry

The forestry segment focuses on the management and harvesting of the Company’s extensive timber holdings, as well as on the ongoing management of lands which may ultimately be used by other divisions of the Company. The Company believes it is one of the largest private owners of land in Florida, most of which is currently managed as timberland. The principal products of the Company’s forestry operations are pine pulpwood, sawtimber and forest products and also provides conservation land management services.

THE ST. JOE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Approximately one-half of the wood harvested by the Company is sold under a long-term pulpwood supply agreement with RockTenn, which recently acquired Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation (“Smurfit-Stone”).Corporation. The agreement, which expires on December 31, 2017, provides for the sale of approximately 3.9 million tons of pulpwood over the term of the contract, with specified yearly obligated volumes. The supply agreement is assignable by St Joethe company in whole or in part, to purchasers of its properties or any interest therein. The supply agreement does not contain a lien, encumbrance or use restriction on any of the Company’s properties.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

2.  

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. The operations of dispositions and assets classified as held for sale in which the Company has no significant continuing involvement are included in discontinued operations through the dates that they were sold. Investments in joint ventures and limited partnerships in which the Company does not have majority voting control are accounted for by the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Correction of Prior Period Errors

In the first quarter of 2010, the Company determined that approximately $2.6 million ($1.6 million net of tax) of stock-based compensation expense related to the acceleration of the service period for retirement eligible employees should have been recognized in periods prior to 2010. Accordingly, the opening balance of common stock, retained earnings and deferred income taxes at December 31, 2007 were adjusted by $1.9 million, $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The Consolidated Balance Sheet for December 31, 2008 has been adjusted to reflect a $0.8 million increase in common stock, a $0.5 million reduction in retained earnings and a corresponding $0.3 million increase in deferred taxes. This correction is similarly reflected as an adjustment to Common Stock and retained earnings as of December 31, 2009 in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. The correction of this error also affected the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These corrections were not considered to be material to prior period financial statements.
During 2010, the Company determined that an additional liability for certain of its Community Development District (“CDD”) debt that is probable and reasonably estimable of repayment by the Company in the future should have been recognized in periods prior to 2010. Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheet for December 31, 2009 has been adjusted to increase debt and investment in real estate by $17.5 million. There was no impact on the consolidated statement of operations, cash flows or equity. This correction was not considered material to prior period financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions including investmentinvestments in real estate, impairment assessments, prepaid pension asset, accruals, valuation of standby guarantee liability and deferred taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Real estate impairment analyses are particularly dependent on the projected pricing and capital expenditures as well as estimated holding and

Fair value estimates of properties used to support measurement of an impairment may be derived either from discounting projected cash flows at an appropriate discount rate, through appraisals, or a combination of both, all of which could beare subject to change in future periods.
estimates.

Because of the recession and the adverse market conditions that currently exist in the Florida, and national real estate markets, and financial and credit markets, it is possible that the estimates and assumptions, most notably those involving the Company’s investment in real estate, could change materially and influence changes in strategy during the time span associated with the continued weakened state of these real estate markets and financial markets, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues consist primarily of real estate sales, timber sales, resort and club operations and other revenues.

Revenues from real estate sales, including sales of rural land, residential homes (including detached single-family and attached townhomes) and homesites, and commercial buildings, are recognized upon closing of sales contracts and conveyance of title. A portion of real estate inventory and estimates for costs to complete are allocated to each housing unitsale based on the relative sales value of each unit as compared to the sales value of the total project.

Revenues for multi-family residences under construction are recognized using thepercentage-of-completion method of

Percentage-of-completion accounting, when (1) construction is beyond a preliminary stage, (2) the buyer has made sufficient deposit and is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for nondelivery of the unit, (3) sufficient units have already been sold to assure that the entire property will not revert to rental property, (4) the sales price is collectible, and (5) aggregate sales proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated. Revenuewhere revenue is recognized in proportion to the percentage of total costs incurred in relation to estimated total costs. Any amounts due under sales contracts, to the extent recognized as revenue are recorded as contracts receivable. The Company reviews the collectability of contract receivables and, in the event of cancellation or default, adjusts thepercentage-of-completion calculation accordingly. There were no contract receivables at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Revenue for multi-family residencescosts, is recognized at closing using the full accrual method of accounting if the criteria for using thepercentage-of-completion method are not met before construction is substantially completed.

Percentage-of-completion accounting is also used for our homesite sales when required development is not complete at the time of sale and for commercial and other land sales if there are uncompleted development costs yet to be incurred for the property sold.

Resort and club revenues include service and rental fees associated with the WaterColor Inn, WaterColor, WaterSound Beach and WindMark Beach vacation rental programs and other resort, golf club and marina operations. These revenues are generally recognized as services are provided. Golf membership revenues are deferred and recognized ratably over the membership period.

Other revenues consist of rental revenues and brokerage fees. Rental revenues are recognized as earned, using the straight-line method over the life of the lease. Certain leases provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is due or where minimum rent payments change during the lease term. Accordingly, a receivable is recorded representing the difference between the straight-line rent and the rent that is contractually due from the tenant. Tenant reimbursements are included in rental revenues. Brokerage fees are recorded as the services are provided.

Revenues from sales of forestry products are recognized generally on delivery of the product to the customer.

Timber deed sales are agreements in which the buyer agrees to purchase and harvest specified timber (i.e. mature pulpwood and/or sawlogs) on a tract of land over the term of the contract. Unlike a pay-as-cut sales contract, risk of loss and title to the trees transfer to the buyer when the contract is signed. The buyer pays the full purchase price when the contract is signed and the Company does not have any additional performance obligations. Under a timber deed, the buyer or some other third party is responsible for all logging and hauling costs, if any, and the timing of such activity. Revenue from a timber deed sale is recognized when the contract is signed because the earnings process is complete.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities (e.g., sales tax) are excluded from revenues and costs and expenses.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) differs from net income (loss) due to changes in the funded status of certain Company benefit plans. See Note 16, Employee BenefitsBenefit Plans. The Company has elected to disclose comprehensive income (loss) in its Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank demand accounts and money market instruments having original maturities at acquisition date of 90 days or less.

Accounts and Notes Receivable

Substantially all of the Company’s trade accounts receivable and notes receivable are due from customers located within the United States. The Company evaluates the carrying value of trade accounts receivable and notes receivable at each reporting date. Notes receivable balances are adjusted to net realizable value based upon a review of entity specific facts or when terms are modified. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a review of specifically identified accounts in addition to an overall aging analysis. Judgments are made with respect to the collectability of accounts based on historical experience and current economic trends. Actual losses could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company utilized a discounted cash flow method to record its investment in retained beneficial interests at fair value. See Note 3,4, Fair Value Measurements.

Investment in Real Estate

Costs associated with a specific real estate project are capitalized during the development period. The Company capitalizes costs directly associated with development and construction of identified real estate projects. Indirect costs that clearly relate to a specific project under development, such as internal costs of a regional project field office, are also capitalized. Interest is capitalized (up to total interest expense) based on the amount of underlying expenditures and real estate taxes on real estate projects under development. If the Company determines not to complete a project, any previously capitalized costs are expensed in the period such determination is made.

Real estate inventory costs include land and common development costs (such as roads, sewers and amenities), multi-family construction costs, capitalized property taxes, capitalized interest and certain indirect costs. Construction costs for single-family homes are determined based upon actual costs incurred. A portion of real estate inventory costs and estimates for costs to complete are allocated to each unit based on the relative sales value of each unit as compared to the estimated sales value of the total project. These estimates are reevaluated at least annually and more frequently if warranted by market conditions or other factors, with any adjustments being allocated prospectively to the remaining units available for sale.

Investment in real estate is carried at cost, net of depreciation and timber depletion. Depreciation is computed on straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets ranging from 15 to 40 years. Depletion of timber is determined by the units of production method, whereby capitalized timber costs are accumulated and expensed as units are sold.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation or amortization. Major improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are expensed in the period the cost is incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of various assets, generally three to 10 years.

Long-Lived Assets and Discontinued Operations

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets includeincludes the Company’s investments in operating, development and investment property. Some of the events or changes in circumstances that are considered by the Company as indicators of potential impairment include:

• 

a prolonged decrease in the market price or demand for the Company’s properties;

• a change in the expected use or development plans for the Company’s properties;
• a current period operating or cash flow loss for an operating property; and
• an accumulation of costs in a development property that significantly exceeds its historically low basis in property held long-term.
Homes and homesites substantially completed and ready for sale are measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Homes and homesites ready for sale include properties that are actively marketed with an intent to sell such properties in the near term. Management identifies properties as being readymarket price or demand for sale when the intent is to sell such assetsCompany’s properties;

a change in the near termexpected use or development plans for the Company’s properties;

a current period operating or cash flow deficiency for an operating property; and, under current market conditions. Other properties

an accumulation of costs in a development property that management does not intend to sellsignificantly exceeds its historically low basis in the near term under current market conditions are evaluated for impairment based on management’s best estimate of the long-term use and eventual disposition of such property.property held long-term.

For projects under development, an estimate of future cash flows on an undiscounted basis is performed using estimated future expenditures necessary to develop and maintain the existing project and using management’s best estimates about future sales prices and holding periods. TheBased on the company’s recently adopted risk-adjusted investment return criteria for evaluating the company’s projects under development, management’s assumptions used in the projection of undiscounted cash flows requires thatincluded:

the projected pace of sales of homesites based on estimated market conditions and the Company’s development plans;

estimated pricing and projected price appreciation over time, which can range from 0% to 10% annually;

the amount and trajectory of price appreciation over the estimate selling period;

the length of the estimated development and selling periods, which can range from 4 years to 13 depending on the size of the development and the number of phases to be developed;

the amount of remaining development costs including the extent of infrastructure or amenities included in development costs;

holding costs to be incurred over the selling period;

for bulk land sales of undeveloped and developed parcels, future pricing is based upon estimated developed lot pricing less estimated development costs and estimated development profit at 20%;

for commercial development property, future pricing is based on sales of comparable property in similar markets; and

assumptions regarding the intent and ability to hold individual investments in real estate over projected periods and related assumptions regarding available liquidity to fund continued development.

Homes are measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Other properties for which management develop various assumptions including:

• the projected pace of sales of homesites based on estimated market conditions and the Company’s development plans;
• projected price appreciation over time, which can generally range from 0% to 7% annually;
• the amount and trajectory of price appreciation over the estimated selling period;
• the length of the estimated development and selling periods, which ranges from 5 years to 17 years depending on the size of the development and the number of phases to be developed;
• the amount of remaining development costs and holding costs to be incurred over the selling period;
• in situations where development plans are subject to change, the amount of entitled land subject to bulk land sales or alternative use and the estimated selling prices of such property;
• for commercial development property, future pricing which is based on sales of comparable property in similar markets; and
• assumptions regarding the intent and ability to hold individual investments in real estate over projected periods and related assumptions regarding available liquidity to fund continued development.
does not intend to sell in the near term or under current market conditions and has the ability to hold are evaluated for impairment based on management’s best estimate of the long-term use and eventual disposition of such property.

For operating properties, an estimate of undiscounted cash flows requires management to make similar assumptions about the use and eventual disposition of such properties. Some of the significant assumptions that are used to develop the undiscounted cash flows include:

• 

for investments in hotel and rental condominium units, average occupancy and room rates, revenues from food and beverage and other amenity operations, operating expenses and capital expenditures, and the amount of proceeds to be realized upon eventual disposition of such properties as condo-hotels or condominiums, based on current prices for similar units appreciated to the expected sale date;

for investments in commercial or retail property, future occupancy and rental rates and the amount of proceeds to be realized upon eventual disposition of such property at a terminal capitalization rate; and,

• for investments in golf courses, future rounds and greens fees, operating expenses and capital expenditures, and the amount of proceeds to be realized upon eventual disposition of such properties at a multiple of terminal year cash flows.

The results of impairment analyses for development and operating properties are particularly dependent on the estimated holding and selling period for each asset group, which can be up to 35 years for certain properties with long range development plans. The estimatedgroup. Based on the Company’s recently adopted risk-adjusted investment return criteria, these future holding period is based on management’s current intent for the use and disposition of each property, which could be subject to change in future periods if the strategic direction of the Company as set by management and approved by the Board of Directors were to change. If the excess of undiscounted cash flows over the carrying value of a property is small, there is a greater risk of future impairment in the event of such changes and any resulting impairment charges could be material.

Excluding any properties that have been written downreduced to fair value, at December 31, 2010 the Company has one development property with a carrying valuemaximum period of approximately $23 million whose current undiscounted cash flows is approximately 110% of its carrying value.
13 years.

In the event that projected future undiscounted cash flows are not adequate to recover the carrying value of a property, impairment is indicated and the Company would be required under generally accepted accounting principles to write down the asset to its fair value. Fair value of a property may be derived either from discounting projected cash flows at an appropriate discount rate, through appraisals of the underlying property, or a combination thereof.

The Company classifies the assets and liabilities of a long-lived asset asheld-for-sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan of sale and it is probable that a sale will be completed.completed within one year. The carrying value of the assetsheld-for-sale are then recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair market value less costs to sell. The operations and gains on sales reported in discontinued operations include operating properties sold during the year and assets classified asheld-for-sale for which operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished and for which the Company will not have continuing involvement or significant cash flows after disposition. The operations from these assets have been eliminated from ongoing operations. Prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the operations of these assets as discontinued operations. The operations and gains on sales of operating assets for which the Company has continuing involvement or significant cash flows are reported as income from continuing operations.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. The provisionDeferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for income taxes includes income taxes currently payable and those deferred as a result of temporarythe future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax bases of assets and liabilities.credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce deferredThe Company recognizes the effect of income tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit when it ispositions only if those positions are more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Projected future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies are considered and evaluated when assessing the need for a valuation allowance. Any increase or decrease in a valuation allowance could have a material adverse impact or beneficial impact on the Company’sbeing sustained.

Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s real estate investments are concentrated in the State of Florida, particularly Northwest Florida in a number of specific development projects. Uncertainty of the duration of the prolonged real estate and economic slump could have an adverse impact on ourthe Company’s real estate values.

values and could cause the Company to sell assets at depressed values in order to pay ongoing expenses.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, notes receivable and retained interests. The Company deposits and invests excess cash with major financial institutions in the United States. Balances may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.

The majority

Some of the Company’s notes receivable are from homebuilders and other entities associated with the real estate industry. As with many entities in the real estate industry, revenues have contracted for these companies, and they may be increasingly dependent on their lenders’ continued willingness to provide funding to maintain ongoing liquidity. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful notes receivable at each reporting date.

There are not any other entity specific facts which currently cause the Company to believe that the remaining notes receivable will be realized at amounts below their carrying values; however, due to the collapse of real estate markets and tightened credit conditions, the collectability of these receivables represents a risk to the Company and changes in the likelihood of collectability could adversely impact the accompanying financial statements.
In the event of a failure and liquidation of the financial institution involved in our land installment sales, the Company could be required to write-off the remaining retained interest recorded on its balance sheet in connection with the installment sale monetization transactions, which would have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and balance sheet.
On October 21, 2009, we entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Southwest Airlines to facilitate the commencement of low-fare air service to the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. Service at the new airport consists of two daily non-stop flights from Northwest Florida to each of four destinations for a total of eight daily non-stop flights.
The Company has agreed to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs losses on its service at the new airport during the first three years of service by making specified break-even payments. There was no reimbursement required for the period ended December 31, 2010. These cash payments and reimbursements could have a significant effect on our cash flows and results of operations depending on the results of Southwest Airlines’ operation of the air service. The agreement also provides that Southwest Airlines’ profits from the air service during the term of the agreement will be shared with the Company up to the maximum amount of our break-even payments.
The term of the agreement extends for a period of three years ending May 23, 2013. Although the agreement does not provide for maximum payments, the agreement may be terminated by us if the payments to Southwest Airlines exceed $14 million in the first year of air service and $12 million in the second year of air service. Southwest Airlines may terminate the agreement if its actual annual revenues attributable to the air service at the new airport are less than certain minimum annual amounts established in the agreement. As of December 31, 2010 actual revenues have exceeded these minimum amounts. In order to mitigate potential losses that may arise from changes in Southwest Airlines’ jet fuel costs, we have entered into a short term premium neutral collar arrangement expiring in May 2011 with respect to the underlying cost of jet fuel for a portion of Southwest Airlines’ estimated fuel volumes. The notional quantity hedged is 200,000 gallons per month, with the call price at $2.55 per gallon and the put price at $1.93 per gallon.

Deliveries made by St. Joe during Smurfit-Stone’s bankruptcy proceedings were uninterrupted and payments were made on time. Under the terms of the supply agreement, Smurfit-Stone and its successor RockTenn would be liable for any monetary damages as a result of the closure of the mill due to economic reasons for a period of one year. Nevertheless, if the Smurfit-StoneRockTenn mill in Panama City were to permanently cease operations, the price for the Company’s pulpwood may decline, and the cost of delivering logs to alternative customers could increase.

Stock-Based Compensation

The changes to the composition of the Company’s board of directors which occurred during the first quarter of 2011 constituted a “change in control event” under the terms of certain of the Company’s incentive plans. As a result, during March 2011, the Company accelerated the vesting of approximately 300,000 restricted stock units resulting in $6.2 million in accelerated stock compensation expense.

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 vesting period. Additionally, the 15% discount at which employees may purchase the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions is being recognized as compensation expense. Upon exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock, the Company will issue new common stock.

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. Total stock-based compensation recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three years ended December 31, 2011 as corporate expense is as follows:

(b)Includes an expense of $0.8 million and $1.5 million related to cash liability awards at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Stock Options and Non-vested Restricted Stock

The Company offers a stock incentive plan whereby awards may be granted to certain employees and non-employee directors of the Company in various forms including restricted shares of Company common stock and 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 for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the award agreements). Non-vested restricted shares generally vest over requisite service periods of three or four years and are considered to be outstanding shares, beginning on the date of each grant. Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The options vest over requisite service periods and are exercisable in equal installments on the third, fourth or fifth anniversaries, as applicable, of the date of grant and generally expire 10 years after the date of grant. The Company has allocated 2 million shares for future issuance under its 2009 stock incentive plan. As of December 31, 2011, 1.5 million shares remained available for issuance under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.

The Company 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.

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

As of December 31, 2010,2011, there was $1.7less than $1.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested restricted stock unit and stock option compensation arrangements which will be recognized over a weighted average period of three years. The total fair values of restricted stock units and stock options which vested during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and 2008 were $4.8$9.7 million, $5.6$6.7 million and $10.4$7.9 million, respectively.

Market Condition Grants

In February 2010, 2009 andyears 2008 through 2011, the Company granted to its executives and other key employees non-vested restricted stock whose vesting is based upon the achievement of certain market conditions defined as the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder returns of certain peer groups during a three year performance period.

The Company currently usesused a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value of its market condition awards. The determination of the fair value of market condition-based awards iswas affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the requisite performance term of the awards, the relative performance of the Company’s stock price and shareholder returns compared to those companies in its peer groups and a risk-free interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the achievement of the market condition, provided the requisite service period is met.

Earnings (Loss)(loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including all potentially dilutive shares issuable under outstanding stock options and service-based non-vested restricted stock. Stock options and non-vested restricted stock are not considered in any diluted earnings per share calculation when the Company has a loss from continuing operations. Non-vested restricted shares subject to vesting based on the achievement of market conditions are treated as contingently issuable shares and are considered outstanding only upon the satisfaction of the market conditions.

The following table presents a reconciliation of average shares outstanding:

Less than approximately 0.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and 0.2 million and 0.4 million shares during the year ended December 31, 2009 were excluded from the computation of diluted (loss) per share during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Through December 31, 2010,2011, the Board of Directors had authorized a total of $950.0 million for the repurchase from time to time of outstanding common stock from shareholders (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). A total of approximately $846.2 million had been expended in the Stock Repurchase Program from its inception through December 31, 2010.2011. There is no expiration date on the Stock Repurchase Program.

From the inception of the Stock Repurchase Program to December 31, 2010,2011, the Company repurchased from shareholders 27,945,611 shares and executives surrendered a total of 2,472,0172,651,238 shares as payment for strike prices and taxes due on exercised stock options and on vested restricted stock, for a total of 30,417,62830,596,849 acquired shares. The Company did not repurchase shares from shareholders during 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008.2009. During 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008,2009, executives surrendered 179,221, 42,762 40,281 and 77,07740,281 shares, respectively, as payment for strike prices and taxes due on exercised stock options and vested restricted stock.

On December 31, 2011, the Company cancelled and retired 30,497,699 shares of treasury stock resulting in an allocation based upon weighted average issuance price which reduced common stock by $51.1 million and retained earnings by $885.1 million.

3. Impairments of Long-lived Assets

On January 25, 2012, the Company adopted a new real estate investment strategy, which is focused on reducing future capital outlays and employing new risk-adjusted investment return criteria for evaluating its properties and future investments in such properties. Pursuant to this new strategy, the Company intends to significantly reduce planned future capital expenditures for infrastructure, amenities and master planned community development and reposition certain assets to encourage increased absorption of such properties in their respective markets. As part of this repositioning, the Company expects properties may be sold in bulk, in undeveloped or developed parcels or at lower price points and over shorter time periods.

In connection with implementing this new real estate strategy, management reassessed its impairment analysis for its investments in real estate using updated assumptions from the strategy change to determine estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis. These future cash flows were adjusted to consider the following items:

management’s estimate of pricing necessary to achieve the desired annual absorption levels based upon current comparable market data and trends in the markets where the Company sells its property;

management’s estimate of discount rates necessary for individual lot sales prices for them to be converted into bulk lot sale prices in the future as a result of the change in strategy; and

shortening hold period for real estate investments.

For select projects this resulted in a negative impact to the undiscounted cash flows primarily as follows:

lower rate of price appreciation from a maximum of 5% per year in 2010 to a maximum appreciation rate of 3% per year in 2011;

lower trajectory of price appreciation with project sellout accelerated from an average term of 11 years in 2010 to 8 years in 2011:

discounted homesite selling prices (weighted average selling prices were reduced on average by 23%);

bulk sale on undeveloped and developed parcels resulted in a discount on average of 20% from current retail pricing; and

future capital expenditures associated with existing projects was reduced by approximately $190 million, the majority of which is expected to be spent in the next 10 years. This reduction in future capital expenditures will allow the Company to achieve pricing consistent with bulk land sales that significantly offsets the cash flow savings.

Based on the results of undiscounted cash flow analysis for these projects, the future undiscounted cash flows were not adequate to recover the carrying value of real estate totaling $466.2 million and an impairment was required. Fair value of these properties was derived primarily through third party appraisals of the underlying projects. As a result, impairment charges of $374.8 million were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2011 to reduce the carrying value of the impaired communities to their estimated fair value of $91.4 million.

During 2011, the Company recorded approximately $2.5 million in additional impairment charges on other investments in real estate as a result of triggering events associated with those real estate investments.

During 2010, the continued decline in demand and market prices for real estate caused us to reevaluate our carrying amounts for investments in real estate. The Company recorded approximately $4.3 in impairment charges on homes and homesites and a $3.8 million impairment on its investment in East San Marco L.L.C., a joint venture located in Jacksonville, Florida.

During 2009, given the downturn in its real estate markets, the Company implemented a tax strategy for 2009 to benefit from the sale of certain non-strategic assets at a loss. Under federal tax rules, losses from asset sales realized in 2009 could be carried back and applied to taxable income from 2007, resulting in a federal income tax refund for 2009. As part of this strategy, the Company conducted a nationally marketed sale process for the disposition of the remaining assets of its non-strategic Victoria Park community in Deland, Florida, including homes, homesites, undeveloped land, notes receivable and a golf course. Based on the likelihood of the closing of the sale, management concluded on December 15, 2009 that an impairment charge for $67.8 million was necessary. The Company completed the sale on December 17, 2009 for $11.0 million.

The Company completed the sale of its SevenShores condominium and marina development project for $7.0 million and the forgiveness of notes payable in the amount of $5.5 million earlier in 2009. The Company recorded an impairment charge for SevenShores of $6.7 million as a result of lower market pricing. The Company also sold St. Johns Golf and Country Club for $3.0 million in December 2009 which resulted in an impairment charge of $3.5 million. In addition, the Company’s $125.0Company wrote-off $7.2 million revolving credit facility requires that the Company not pay dividends or repurchase stockof capitalized costs related to abandoned development plans in amounts in excesscertain of any cumulative net income that the Company has earned since January 1, 2007.

its communities.

4. Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 for its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;


F-17


THE ST. JOE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, such as internally-developed valuation models which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

The Company has recorded a retained interest with respect to the monetization of certain installment notes, which is recorded in other assets. The retained interest is an estimate based on the present value of cash flows to be received over the life of the installment notes. The Company’s continuing involvement with the entities is in the form of receipts of net interest payments, which are recorded as interest income and approximated $0.4 and $0.3$0.6 million, in 2011 and $0.4 million 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, the Company will receive the payment of the remaining principal on the installment notes at the end of their15-year maturity period. The Company recorded losses, which were included in other income (expense), of $8.2 million during 2008, related to the monetization of $108.4 million in notes receivable through entities.

The fair value adjustment 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 Company’s retained interests consist 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 the collection of notes receivable principal net of the repayment of debt) and a cash reserve account. Fair values of the retained interests are estimated based on the present value of future excess cash flows to be received over the life of the notes, using management’s best estimate of underlying assumptions, including credit risk and discount rates.

The debt securities are payable solely out of the assets of the entities (which consist of the installment notes and the irrevocable letters of credit). The debt investors in the entities have no recourse to the Company for payment of the debt securities. The entitiesentities’ financial position and results of operations are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, the Company has evaluated the recently issued accounting requirements of Topic 810 and has determined that it willis not be required to consolidate the financial position and results of the entities as the Company is not the primary decision maker with respect to activities that could significantly impact the economic performance of the entities, nor does the Company perform any service activity related to the entities.

In accordance with ASC 325,Investments — Other, Subtopic 40 — Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, the Company recognizes interest income over the life of the retained interest using the effective yield method with discount rates ranging from 2%-7%. This income adjustment is being recorded as

an offset to loss on monetization of notes over the life of the installment notes. In addition, fair value may be adjusted at each reporting date when, based on management’s assessment of current information and events, there is a favorable or adverse change in estimated cash flows from cash flows previously projected. The Company did not record any impairment adjustments as a result of changes in previously projected cash flows during 2011, 2010 2009 or 2008.

On October 21, 2009, the Company entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Southwest Airlines to facilitate the commencement of low-fare air service in May 2010 to the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport.International. The Company has agreed to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs losses on its service at the new airport during the first three years of service by making specified break-even payments. There was no reimbursement required forup through the period ended December 31, 2010.2011. The agreement also provides that Southwest Airlines’Southwest’s profits from the air service during the term of the agreement will be shared with the Company up to the maximum amount of ourthe Company’s break-even payments.

The term of the agreement extends for a period of three years ending May 23, 2013. Although the agreement does not provide for maximum payments, the agreement may be terminated by the Company if the payments to Southwest Airlines exceed $14.0 million in the first year of air service and $12.0 million in the second year of air service. Southwest Airlines may terminate the agreement if its actual annual revenues attributable to the air service at the new airport are less than certain minimum annual amounts established in the agreement.

At inception, the Company measured the associated standby guarantee liability at fair value based upon a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s best estimates of future cash flows to be paid by the Company pursuant to the strategic alliance agreement. These cash flows were estimated using numerous assumptions including future fuel costs, passenger load factors, air fares, and seasonality. Subsequently, the guarantee is measured at the greater of the fair value of the guarantee liability at inception or the payment amount that is probable and reasonably estimable of occurring, if any.

The Company carriescarried a standby guarantee liability of $0.8 million at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 20092011 related to this strategic alliance agreement.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Homes and homesites substantially completed and ready for sale, and which management intends to sell in the near term under current market conditions, are measured at lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.value. The fair value of these propertieshomes is determined based upon final sales prices of inventory sold during the period (level 2 inputs) or estimates of selling prices based on current market data (level 3 inputs). Other properties for which management does not intend to sell in the near term or under current market conditions including development and operating properties,has the ability to hold are evaluated for impairment based on management’s best estimate of the long-term use and eventual disposition of the property. If determined to be impaired, the fair valueproperty (level 3 inputs) For projects under development, an estimate of these propertiesfuture cash flows on an undiscounted basis is determined based on the net present value of discounted cash flowsperformed using estimated future expenditures necessary to maintain and complete the existing project, including infrastructure and amenity costs, and using management’s best estimates about future sales prices, sales volumes, sales velocity and holding periods (level 3 inputs). The estimated length of expected development periods, related economic cycles and inherent uncertainty with respect to these projects such as

the impact of changes in development plans including changes in intended use such as whether land is sold in bulk or in individual lots, or is sold in developed or undeveloped condition and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the projects through the development period, could result in changes to these estimates. For operating properties, an estimate of undiscounted cash flows requires management to make similar assumptions about the use and eventual disposition of such properties.

For the assets described above, the Company uses varying methods to determine fair value, such as (i) analyzing expected future cash flows, (ii) determining resale values by market, or (iii) applying a capitalization rate to net operating income using prevailing rates in a given market. Fair value of a property may be derived either from discounting projected cash flows at an appropriate discount rate (10% to 20%), through appraisals of the underlying property, or a combination thereof.

The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are those assets for which the Company has recorded valuation adjustments and impairments during the year. The assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were as follows:

As a result of the Company’s impairment analyses in 2010, investment in real estate with a carrying amount of $13.2 million was written down to fair value of $8.9 million resulting in an impairment charge of $4.3 million andmillion.

5. Investment in 2009 investment in real estate with a carrying amount of $151.3 million was written down to fair value of $57.7 million, resulting in a charge of $93.6 million.

The continued decline in demand and market prices for real estate caused us to reevaluate our carrying amounts for investments in real estate. During 2010, we recorded approximately $4.3 million in impairment charges on homes and homesites and a $3.8 million impairment on our investment in East San Marco L.L.C., a joint venture located in Jacksonville, Florida.
Given the downturn in its real estate markets, the Company implemented a tax strategy for 2009 to benefit from the sale of certain non-strategic assets at a loss. Under federal tax rules, losses from asset sales realized in 2009 can be carried back and applied to taxable income from 2007, resulting in a federal income tax refund for 2009. As part of this strategy, the Company conducted a nationally marketed sale process for the disposition of the remaining assets of its non-strategic Victoria Park community in Deland, Florida, including homes, homesites, undeveloped land, notes receivable and a golf course. Based on the likelihood of the closing of the sale, management concluded on December 15, 2009 that an impairment charge for $67.8 million was necessary. The Company completed the sale on December 17, 2009 for $11.0 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The Company completed the sale of its SevenShores condominium and marina development project for $7.0 million and the forgiveness of notes payable in the amount of $5.5 million earlier in 2009. The Company recorded an impairment charge for SevenShores of $6.7 million as a result of lower market pricing. The Company also sold St. Johns Golf and Country Club for $3.0 million in December 2009 which resulted in an impairment charge of $3.5 million. In addition, the Company wrote-off $7.2 million of capitalized costs related to abandoned development plans in certain of its communities.
As a result of the Company’s property impairment analyses for 2008, it recorded impairment charges related to investment in real estate of $40.3 million consisting of $12.0 million related to completed homes in several communities and $28.3 million related to the Company’s SevenShores condominium and marina development project. In addition, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $19.0 million during 2008 related to the remaining goodwill associated with the 1997 acquisition of certain assets of the Arvida Company.
The SevenShores condominium project was written down in the fourth quarter of 2008 to approximate the fair market value of land entitled for 278 condominium units. This write-down was necessary because in the fourth quarter of 2008 the Company elected not to exercise its option to acquire additional land under its option agreement. Certain costs had previously been incurred with the expectation that the project would include 686 units.
4.  Discontinued Operations
In December 2009, the Company sold Victoria Hills Golf Club as part of the bulk sale of Victoria Park. In addition, the Company sold its St. Johns Golf and Country Club. The Company has classified the operating results associated with these golf courses as discontinued operations as these operations had identifiable cash flows and operating results. Included in the 2009 discontinued operations are $6.9 million and $3.5 million (pre-tax) impairment charges to approximate fair value, less costs to sell, related to the sales of the Victoria Hills Golf Club and St. Johns Golf and Country Club, respectively.
On February 27, 2009, the Company sold its remaining inventory and equipment assets related to its Sunshine State Cypress mill and mulch plant for a sale price of $1.6 million. The sale agreement also included a long-term lease of a building facility. The Company received proceeds of $1.3 million and a note receivable of $0.3 million in connection with the sale. Assets and liabilities previously classified as “held for sale” which were not subsequently sold were reclassified as held for use in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2009 and 2010. In addition, the operating results associated with assets not sold have been recorded in continuing operations since the first quarter of 2009. These reclassifications did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results.
On April 30, 2007, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement for the sale of the Company’s office building portfolio, consisting of 17 buildings. During 2007, the Company recorded a deferred gain of $3.3 million on a sale-leaseback arrangement with three of the properties. The amortization of gain associated with these three properties has been included in continuing operations due to the Company’s continuing involvement as a lessee.

Notes receivable balances are adjusted to net realizable value based upon a review of entity specific facts or when terms are modified. During 2009, the Company settled its notes receivable with Saussy Burbank for less than book value and recorded a charge of $9.0 million. As part of the settlement, the Company agreed to take back previously collateralized inventory consisting of lots and homes which were valued at current estimated sales prices, less costs to sell. Subsequently, all the lots and homes were sold which resulted in an additional impairment charge of $1.1 million. The Company also recorded a charge of $7.4 million related to the write-off of the outstanding Advantis note receivable balance during 2009 as the amount was determined to be uncollectible. In addition, the Company received a deed in lieu of foreclosure related to a $4.0 million builder note receivable during 2009 and renegotiated terms related to certain other builder notes receivable during 2010 2009 and 2008.2009. These events resulted in additional impairment charges of $0.5 million $1.9 million and $1.0$1.9 million in 2010 and 2009, and 2008, respectively.

On March 17,During 2010, the Company announced that it was relocatingrelocated its corporate headquarters from Jacksonville, Florida to its VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre to be developed adjacent to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in Bay County,WaterSound, Florida. The Company will also consolidateconsolidated other existing offices from Tallahassee, Port St. Joe and South Walton County ininto the newWaterSound location. The relocation to our temporary headquarters facility in Walton County is expected to be completed during 2011.
The Company has incurred and expects to incur additional charges to earnings in connection with the relocation related primarily to termination and relocation benefits for employees, as well as certain ancillary facility-related costs. Such charges have been and are expected to be cash expenditures. Based on employee responses to the announced relocation, the Company estimates that total relocation costs should be approximately $4.8 million (pre-tax) of which $2.5 million was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2010. The relocation costs include relocation bonuses, temporary lodging expenses, resettlement expenses, tax payments, shipping and storage of household goods, and closing costs for housing transactions. These estimates are based on significant assumptions, such as home values and actual results could differ materially from these estimates. In addition, the Company estimates total cash termination benefits of approximately $2.2 million (pre-tax) which was accrued in 2010. Also, during 2010, pursuant to a relocation agreement approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company purchased the home of an executive for $1.9 million. Subsequently, an impairment charge of $0.2 million was taken on the home to record it at current fair value less costs to sell.
During 2009, the Company implemented additionala restructuring plans designedplan to further align employee headcount with the Company’s projected workload. The 2009 restructuring expense primarily included severance benefits related to the departure of three senior executives. The Company incurred an additional $0.6 million related to the 2009 restructuring during the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company incurred settlement losses and curtailment charges for certain participants totaling $5.9 million in 2011 and $4.1 million in 2010 related to its reduced employment levels in connection with its restructurings.

On June 18, 2009, the Company, as plan sponsor of the Pension Plan,pension plan, signed a commitment for the Pension Planpension plan to purchase a group annuity contract from Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company for the benefit of the retired participants and certain other former employee participants in the Pension Plan.pension plan. Current employees and former employees with cash balances in the Pension Planpension plan are not affected by the transaction. The purchase price of the group annuity contract was approximately $101.0 million, which was funded from the assets of the Pension Planpension plan on June 25, 2009. The transaction resulted in the transfer and settlement of pension benefit obligations of approximately $93.0 million. In addition, the Company recorded a non-cash pre-tax settlement charge to earnings during the second quarter of 2009 of $44.7 million. The Company also recorded a pre-tax credit in the amount of $44.7 million in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on its Consolidated Balance Sheets offsetting the non-cash charge to earnings. As a result of this transaction, the Company was able to significantly increase the funded ratio thereby reducing the potential for future funding requirements.

The Company recorded a settlement and curtailment charge during 2008 in connection with its restructuring. The Company remeasured the Pension Plan’s projected benefit obligation and asset values at December 31, 2008, which resulted in a $67.3 million reduction in the funded status of the Pension Plan. The change in funded status was primarily a result of a decrease in the market value of plan assets.

   5.00  6.00  8.00

Rate of compensation increase

   3.75  3.75  4.00

To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, the Company considered the current level of expected returns on risk free investments (primarily government bonds), the historical level of the risk premium associated with the other asset classes in which the portfolio is invested and the expectations for future returns of each asset class. The expected return for each asset class was then weighted based on the target asset allocation to develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the portfolio. This resulted in the selection of the 6.0%5.0%, 8.0%6.0% and 8.0% assumption in 2011, 2010 and 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Pension Plan Assets

The Company’s investment policy is to ensure, over the long-term life of the Pension Plan, an adequate pool of assets to support the benefit obligations to participants, retirees and beneficiaries. In meeting this objective, the Pension Plan seeks the opportunity to achieve an adequate return to fund the obligations in a manner consistent with the fiduciary standards of ERISA and with a prudent level of diversification. Specifically, these objectives include the desire to:

invest assets in a manner such that contributions remain within a reasonable range and future assets are available to fund liabilities;

maintain liquidity sufficient to pay current benefits when due; and

• invest assets in a manner such that contributions remain within a reasonable range and future assets are available to fund liabilities;
• maintain liquidity sufficient to pay current benefits when due; and
• diversify, over time, among asset classes so assets earn a reasonable return with acceptable risk of capital loss.

diversify, over time, among asset classes so assets earn a reasonable return with acceptable risk of capital loss.

The Company’s overall investment strategy is to achieve a range of65-95% fixed income investments and 5% -35% equity type investments.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value at December 31, 2010.

2011.

Common/collective trusts: Valued based on information reported by the investment advisor using the financial statements of the collective trusts at year end.

Mutual funds and money market funds:funds: Valued at the net asset value (NAV) of shares held by the Pension Plan at year end.

Other: The other investment consists of a royalty investment for which there is no quoted market price. Fair value of the royalty investment is estimated based on the present value of future cash flows, using management’s best estimate of key assumptions, including discount rates.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation

A liability of $11.3$0.1 million and $11.4$11.3 million has been included in accrued liabilities to reflect the Company’s obligation to fund postretirement benefits at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and 2009, respectively. The liability at December 31, 2010 and 2009 represents an unfunded obligation.

At December 31, 2009, the accrued liability included an assumption that the retiree prescription drug plan component of the postretirement medical plan was actuarially equivalent to the Standard Medicare Part D benefit, and therefore was eligible for a federal retiree drug subsidy. This assumption had been removed from the calculation of the liability at December 31, 2008. The decrease in the liability resulting from the change in federal subsidy assumption was approximately $2.2 million. This change in assumption was reflected as a component of Other Comprehensive Income in the Consolidated Statement of Equity.

Deferred Compensation Plans and ESPP

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all officers and employees, which permits participants to defer up to the maximum allowable amount determined by the IRS of their eligible compensation. This deferred compensation, together with Company matching contributions, which generally equal 100% of the first 1% of eligible compensation and 50% on the next 5% of eligible compensation, up to 3.5% of eligible compensation, is fully vested and funded as of December 31, 2010.2011. The Company contributions to the plan were approximately $0.2 million, $0.4 million and $0.6 million in 2011, 2010 and $0.8 million in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

The Company has adiscontinued the matching contributions as of July 1, 2011.

17.  Segment Information
July 1, 2011.

15. Segment Information

The Company conducts primarily all of its business in four reportable operating segments: residential real estate, commercial real estate, rural land sales and forestry. The residential real estate segment generates revenues from club and resort operations and the development and sale of homesites, and to a lesser extent, home sales due to the Company’s exit from homebuilding. The commercial real estate segment sells or leases developed and undeveloped land. The rural land sales segment sells parcels of land included in the Company’s holdings of timberlands. The forestry segment produces and sells pine pulpwood,woodfiber, sawtimber and other forest products.

The Company uses income from continuing operations before equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates, income taxes and noncontrolling interest for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing each segment’s performance, which the Company believes represents current performance measures.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described above in Note 2, BasisSummary of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies. Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The caption entitled “Other” consists of non-allocated corporate general and administrative expenses, net of investment income.

The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are each managed separately and decisions about allocations of resources are determined by management based on these strategic business units.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has obligations under various noncancelable long-term operating leases for office space and equipment. Some of these leases contain escalation clauses for operating costs, property taxes and insurance. In addition, the Company has various obligations under other office space and equipment leases of less than one year.

Total rent expense was $2.1 million, $2.0 million $2.3 million and $2.7$2.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, and 2008, respectively.

During 2007, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback transaction involving three office buildings included in the sale of the office building portfolio. The Company’s continuing involvement with these properties is in the form of annual rent payments of approximately $1.9 million per year through 2011.

The future minimum rental commitments under noncancelable long-term operating leases due over the next five years, including buildings leased through a sale-leaseback transaction are as follows:

The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability, workers’ compensation and property damage.

At December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, the Company was party to surety bonds of $27.9$15.7 million and $28.1$27.9 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit in the amounts of $0.8 million and $2.5$0.8 million, respectively, which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.

The Company and its affiliates are involved in litigation on a number of matters and are subject to various claims which arise in the normal course of business, including claims resulting from construction defects and contract disputes. When appropriate,

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company establishes estimated accrualsan accrued liability for litigation and regulatory matters which meetwhen those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the requirementsCompany does not establish an accrued liability. As a litigation or regulatory matter develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable. If, at the time of ASC 450 —Contingencies.evaluation, the loss contingency related to a litigation or regulatory matter is not both probable and estimable, the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments that would make such loss contingency both probable and estimable. Once the loss contingency related to litigation or regulatory matter is deemed to be both probable and estimable, the Company will establish an accrued liability with respect to such loss contingency and record a corresponding amount of litigation-related expense. The Company continues to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has recordedbeen previously established.

For matters in which a loss is probable or reasonably possible in future periods, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, the Company will estimate and disclose this range of possible loss. In determining whether it is possible to provide an estimate of loss or range of possible loss, the Company reviews and evaluates its material litigation and regulatory matters on an ongoing basis, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, in light of potentially relevant factual and legal developments. These may include information learned through the discovery process, rulings on dispositive motions, settlement discussions, and other rulings by courts, arbitrators or others. In cases in which the Company possesses sufficient appropriate information to develop an estimate of loss or range of possible loss, that estimate is aggregated and disclosed below. There may be other disclosed matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible but such an estimate may not be possible. For those matters where an estimate is possible, management currently estimates the aggregate range of possible loss below in excess of the accrued liability (if any) related to those matters. This estimated range of possible loss is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. Those matters for which an estimate is not possible are not included within this estimated range. Therefore, this estimated range of possible loss represents what the Company believes to be an estimate of possible loss only for certain matters meeting these criteria. It does not represent the Company’s maximum loss exposure. Information is provided below regarding the nature of all of these contingencies and, where specified, the amount of the claim associated with these loss contingencies. Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending matters, including the matters described herein, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Company. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, and the very large or indeterminate damages sought in some of these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.

During 2011, the Company settled and paid a $9.0 million accrued liability in connection with a contract dispute involving the 1997 purchase of land for its former Victoria Park community. The Company has appealed an adverse trial court decision in this matter to a Florida court of appeals.

The Company is 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 Company’s policy to accrue and charge against earnings environmental cleanup costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount can be reasonably estimated. As assessments and cleanups proceed, these accruals are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, as additional information becomes available.

The Company’s 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 rehabilitated by Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation in accordance with these

agreements. The Company is in the process of assessing and rehabilitatingthe rehabilitation of certain adjacent properties. Management is unable to quantify the rehabilitation costs at this time.
The Company believes it is probable a loss will occur related to this matter but is unable to estimate range of loss given the unknown nature of the rehabilitation, if any, at this time.

Other proceedings and litigation involving environmental matters are pending against the Company. Aggregate environmental-related accruals were $1.6$1.5 million and $1.7$1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, respectively. Although in the opinion of management none of our environmental litigation matters or governmental proceedings is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity, it is possible that the actual amounts of liabilities resulting from such matters could be material.

Management is unable to quantify an aggregate range of possible loss in excess of the accrued liability (if any) related to this matter.

On November 3, 2010, and December 7, 2010, twoa securities class action complaints werelawsuit was filed against the CompanySt. Joe and certain of itsour current and former officers and directorsbefore Judge Richard Smoak in the Northern District of Florida. These cases have been consolidated in the U.S.United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida and are captioned as Meyer(Meyer v. The St. Joe.Joe Company et al.(, No. 5:11-cv-00027). A consolidated class action complaint was filed in the case on February 24, 2011.

The complaint was filed on behalf of persons who purchased the Company’s2011 alleging various securities between February 19, 2008 and October 12, 2010 and allege that the Company and certain of its officers and directors, among others, violated the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making falseand/or misleading statementsand/or by failinglaws violations primarily related to disclose that, as the Floridaour accounting for our real estate market was in decline, the Company was failing to take adequate and required impairments and accounting write-downs on many of the Company’s Florida-based properties and as a result, the Company’s financial statements materially overvalued the Company’s property developments. The plaintiffs also allege that the Company’s financial statements were not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and that the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls, and as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s financial statements were materially false and misleading.assets. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount in damages.
We filed a motion to dismiss the case on April 6, 2011, which the court granted without prejudice on August 24, 2011. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on September 23, 2011. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on October 24, 2011. On January 12, 2012, the Court granted the motion to dismiss with prejudice and entered judgment in favor of St. Joe and the individual defendants. On February 9, 2012, plaintiff filed a motion to alter or amend the judgment, which the Court denied on February 14, 2012. The time for plaintiff to appeal has not expired.

On March 29, 2011 and July 21, 2011, two separate derivative lawsuits were filed by shareholders on behalf of St. Joe against certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida (Nakata v. Greene et. al., No. 5:11-cv-00090 and Packer v. Greene, et al., No. 3:11-cv-00344). The complaints allege breaches of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment arising from substantially similar allegations as those described above in the Meyer case. On June 6, 2011, the court granted the parties’ motion to stay the Nakata action pending the outcome of the Meyer action. On September 12, 2011, a third derivative lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of Florida (Shurkin v. Berkowitz, et al., No. 5:11-cv-304) making similar claims as those in the Nakata and Packer actions. On September 16, 2011, plaintiffs in Nakata and Packer filed a joint motion to consolidate all derivative actions and appoint lead counsel. On October 3, 2011, plaintiff in Shurkin filed a cross motion seeking separate lead counsel for Shurkin and coordination of Shurkin with the other derivative cases. On October 6, 2011, the Company filed a response in which it stated that all derivative cases should be consolidated. On October 14, 2011, Nakata and Packer plaintiffs filed an amended joint motion seeking consolidation of those two cases only. On October 21, 2011, the court issued an order consolidating the Nakata and Packer lawsuits.

The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the plaintiffs’above claims and intends to defend the actionactions vigorously.

Additionally, The Company believes that the probability of loss related to this litigation and an estimate of the amount of loss, if any, are not determinable at this time. The Company has received four demand letters askingcannot evaluate the Boardlikelihood of Directorsan unfavorable outcome related to initiate derivative litigation. To our knowledge, no derivative lawsuits have yet been filed.

On January 4, 2011 the SEC has notified the Company that it iswas conducting an informal inquiry into the Company’s policies and practices concerning impairment of investment in real estate assets. On June 24, 2011, the Company received notice from the SEC that it has issued a related order of private investigation. The order of private investigation covers a variety of matters for the period beginning January 1, 2007 including (a) the antifraud provisions of the Federal securities laws as applicable to the Company and its past and present officers, directors, employees, partners,

subsidiaries, and/or affiliates, and/or other persons or entities, (b) compliance by past and present reporting persons or entities who were or are directly or indirectly the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock (which includes Fairholme Funds, Inc, Fairholme Capital Management L.L.C. and the Company’s current Chairman Bruce R. Berkowitz) with their reporting obligations under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, (c) internal controls, (d) books and records, (e) communications with auditors and (f) financial reports.

On October 21, 2009, the Company entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Southwest Airlines to facilitate the commencement of low-fare air service in May 2010 to the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The Company has agreed to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs losses on its service at the new airport during the first three years of service. The agreement also provides that Southwest Airlines’ profits from the air service during the term of the agreement will be shared with the Company up to the maximum amount of its break-even payments. The term of the agreement extends for a period of three years after the commencement of Southwest Airlines’ air service at the new airport. Although the agreement does not provide for maximum payments, the agreement may be terminated by the Company if the payments to Southwest Airlines exceed $14.0 million in the first year of air service and $12.0 million in the second year of air service. Southwest Airlines may terminate the agreement if its actual annual revenues attributable to the air service at the new airport are less than certain minimum annual amounts established in the agreement. The Company carried a standby guarantee liability of $0.8 million at December 31, 20102011 and December 31, 20092010 related to this strategic alliance agreement.

shareholders and that meets certain other criteria. The Rights granted to shareholders under the Rights Plan will expire unless the Rights Plan is approved by the Company’s shareholders on or before December 31, 2011.
The Rights are designed to assure that all of the Company’s shareholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any proposed takeover of the Company and to guard against partial tender offers, open market accumulations and other abusive or coercive tactics to gain control of the Company without paying all shareholders a control premium. The Rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that becomes an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Plan) on terms not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by the Board of Directors at any time prior to the first date that a person or group has become an Acquiring Person.
In connection with the Rights Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of one common stock purchase right (individually, a “Right” and collectively, the “Rights”) for each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding at the close of business on February 28, 2011. Each Right will entitle the registered holder thereof, after the Rights become exercisable and until February 15, 2014 (or the earlier redemption, exchange or termination of the Rights), to purchase from the Company one-half of one share of common stock, at a price of $50.00, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.
On February 25, 2011, the Company entered into a Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with Wm. Britton Greene in connection with his resignation as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as a director of the Company. Subject to Mr. Greene’s execution and non-revocation of the two general releases of claims as described below, the Company agreed to provide the following payments and benefits to Mr. Greene:
(i) a cash lump sum of $2,920,000 six months after the effective date of his resignation as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Termination Date”);
(ii) a pro rata annual bonus of $118,000, as a cash lump sum at the same time the Company pays other executive bonuses for calendar year 2011, but no later than March 15, 2012;
(iii) $1,053,225, which the parties agree represents additional benefits payable under the Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan had he continued to be employed with the Company during the 36 months following the Termination Date, payable six months after the Termination Date;
(iv) (A) the COBRA premium for medical and dental insurance for him and his family under COBRA for the lesser of 18 months after the Termination Date or the date on which he becomes ineligible for COBRA continuation coverage (the “COBRA Coverage Period”), provided that he will reimburse the Company each month in the amount that an employee participating in the medical and dental insurance plan would be required to contribute (the “Employee Contribution”), and (B) if Mr. Greene has not become eligible for coverage under the healthcare insurance plan of another employer, a lump sum payment at the end of the COBRA Coverage Period equal to six times the monthly premium to provide substantially the same benefits minus six months of the Employee Contribution;
(v) the premiums for basic life and disability insurance policies for a period of 24 months after the Termination Date;
(vi) up to $20,000 as reimbursement for outplacement services during the18-month period following the Termination Date;
(vii) up to $75,000 as reimbursement to defray the cost of relocation expenses actually incurred if Mr. Greene relocates from his present residence in WaterColor, Florida to a location more than 50 miles from WaterColor, Florida within 24 months following the Termination Date;
(viii) as of February 25, 2011, all of Mr. Greene’s outstanding restricted stock awards under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (excluding his February 7, 2011 performance-vesting restricted stock award),

THE ST. JOE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
constituting 106,068 of Mr. Greene’s unvested shares, became fully vested and non-forfeitable, provided that, with his February 7, 2011 performance-vesting restricted stock award, 50% of the initial grant of 45,226 restricted shares (or 22,613 restricted shares) became fully vested and non-forfeitable;
(ix) with respect to any restricted stock that does not become fully vested and exercisable on or before the Termination Date, Mr. Greene is entitled to vesting, payment and exercisability in accordance with the terms of the governing equity plan and award agreement;
(x) establish a “rabbi trust” with an independent financial institution as trustee and fully fund the payments described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (vii);
(xi) up to $150,000 for any and all legal fees and disbursements incurred by Mr. Greene in connection with negotiating, entering into, or implementing, the arrangements set forth in the Separation Agreement; and
(xii) agross-up payment for any excise taxes imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.
Under the Separation Agreement, Mr. Greene is entitled to continue to receive his annual salary until the Termination Date. Mr. Greene agreed to execute a general release of claims against the Company as of February 25, 2011 and a second release on the Termination Date, and to refrain from competing with the business of St. Joe for a period of one year following his resignation. The Separation Agreement also provides for indemnification and D&O insurance coverage for a period of six years after the Termination Date.
