THE ST. JOE COMPANY
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations
The St. Joe Company together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a real estate development, asset management and operating company with real estate assets and operations currently concentrated primarily between Tallahassee and Destin, Florida.
The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following five reportable operating segments: 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts and leisure, 4) leasing operations and 5) forestry. In prior periods, the Company’s reportable operating segments were 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts, leisure and leasing operations and 4) forestry. The Company’s leasing operations segment currently meets the quantitative and qualitative factors as a reportable operating segment; therefore, the Company has changed its segment presentation to include leasing operations as a reportable operating segment. Leasing operations were historically included with the Company’s resorts, leisure and leasing operating segment. All prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. The change in reporting segments had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented. See Note 17, Segment Information.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements are not included herein. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary.subsidiaries. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in which the Company has significant influence, but not a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 20142015 balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 20142015 audited consolidated financial statements. Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported stockholders’ equity or net income. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.
A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity in which a controlling financial interest may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the entity that possesses the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are significant to it. The Company consolidates VIEs when it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, including real estate joint ventures determined to be VIEs (see Note 9, Real Estate Joint Ventures) and VIEs involved in a 2014 real estate sale.
The statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained herein. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.2015. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company’s December 31, 2015 annual financial statements. As required under GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions. For interim financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded based upon estimated annual income tax rates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Discontinued operations
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) that changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. In addition, this ASU mandates expanded disclosures about the discontinued operation and requires disclosures about certain disposals that do not qualify as discontinued operations. This guidance is applied prospectively and the Company adopted it as of January 1, 2015. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Balance Sheets or Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company has not adopted this ASU as of September 30, 2015.
Consolidation
In February 2015, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an ASUAccounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02 that amends the existing consolidation guidance related to (i) limited partnerships and similar legal entities, (ii) the evaluation of variable interests for fees paid to decision makers or service providers, (iii) the effect of fee arrangements and related parties on the primary beneficiary determination and (iv) certain investment funds.

Debt issuance costs
In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU 2015-03 that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendment does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. As of January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this ASU, which required retrospective application and resulted in the reclassification of debt issuance costs of $2.1 million from other assets to a reduction of $0.7 million in debt and a reduction of $1.4 million in Senior Notes held by special purpose entity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015.

The new guidance will require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in results of operations. Additionally, certain disclosure requirements and other aspects of accounting for financial instruments may change as a result of the new guidance, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has not adoptedis currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company had no unrealized losses asAs of September 30, 2015. The Company’s unrealized losses as of2016 and December 31, 2014 relate to investments in senior secured debt securities in one issuer that is a national retail chain that is non-investment grade. The Company purchased these investments between the second quarter of 2013 through the second quarter of 2014. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company determined that these investments were other-than-temporarily impaired and recorded $1.3 million related to credit-related losses in Investment income, net on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The credit-losses were measured as the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows of the corporate debt securities discounted using the effective interest rate at the date of purchase and the amortized cost of the corporate debt securities. The Company sold these investments during the three months ended September 30, 2015, and recorded a realized gain of $5.3 million.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company did not intend to sell the investments with unrealized losses and it was notis more likely than not that the Company would have beenwill not be required to sell the securityany of these securities prior to itstheir anticipated recovery, which could have beenbe maturity; therefore, the Company does not believe that its investment in the corporate debt securities and preferred stock was other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2014.2015.
The net carrying value and estimated fair value of investments and restricted investments classified as available-for-sale at September 30, 2015,2016, by contractual maturity are shown in the following table.

5. Real Estate Sales
The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily comparable from period to period due to the impact of the AgReserves Sale and the RiverTown Sale during 2014.
AgReserves Sale
Real estate sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, includes the sale to AgReserves, Inc. of approximately 380,000 acres of land located in Northwest Florida, along with certain other assets and inventory and rights under certain continuing leases and contracts (the “AgReserves Sale”). On March 5, 2014, the Company completed the AgReserves Sale for $562 million and recorded pre-tax income of $511.1 million for the AgReserves Sale, which includes $1.2 million of severance costs recorded in Other operating expenses. As a result of certain adjustments to the purchase price, consideration received for the AgReserves Sale was (1) $358.5 million in cash, (2) a $200 million fifteen year installment note (the “Timber Note”) issued by Panama City Timber Finance Company, LLC, a buyer-sponsored special purpose entity (the “AgReserves SPE”), and (3) an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Letter of Credit”) at the request of the AgReserves SPE, in favor of the Company. The AgReserves SPE was created by AgReserves with financial instruments having an aggregate principal balance of $203.5 million that secure the Letter of Credit.
In April 2014, the Company contributed the Timber Note and assigned its rights as a beneficiary under the Letter of Credit to Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC, a bankruptcy-remote, qualified special purpose entity wholly owned by the Company (“NFTF”). NFTF monetized the Timber Note by issuing $180 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) at an issue price of 98.483% of the face value to third party investors. The Senior Notes are payable solely by the property of NFTF and the investors holding the Senior Notes of NFTF have no recourse against the Company for payment of the Senior Notes or the related interest expense.
The Company received $165.0 million in cash, net of $15.0 million in costs, from the monetization and expects to receive the remaining $20.0 million upon maturity of the Timber Note and after payment of the Senior Notes and any other liabilities of NFTF. The $15.0 million of costs from the monetization include (1) a total of $4.3 million for the discount and issuance costs for the Senior Notes, which will be amortized over the term of the Senior Notes, (2) $7.0 million for U.S. Treasury securities and cash that the Company contributed to NFTF to be used for interest and operating expenses over the fifteen year period of the Timber Note and which are recorded in Investments held by special purpose entities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and (3) $3.7 million of costs related to the monetization that were expensed during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and are recorded in Administrative costs associated with special purpose entities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company owns the equity interest in NFTF, but no equity interest in the AgReserves SPE. Both the AgReserves SPE and NFTF are distinct legal entities and the assets of the AgReserves SPE and NFTF are not available to satisfy the Company's liabilities or obligations and the liabilities of the AgReserves SPE and NFTF are not the Company's liabilities or obligations. In the event that proceeds from the financial instruments are insufficient to settle all of the liabilities of the AgReserves SPE or NFTF, the Company is not obligated to contribute any funds to either the AgReserves SPEor NFTF.
The Company has determined that it was the primary beneficiary of the AgReserves SPE and NFTF as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and therefore, the AgReserves SPE’s and NFTF’s assets and liabilities are consolidated in the Company's financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The carrying amounts of the AgReserves SPE’s and NFTF’s assets and non-recourse liabilities were $211.4 million and $178.1 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2015. The consolidated assets of the AgReserves SPE and NFTF consist of a $200 million time deposit that subsequent to April 2, 2014 pays interest at 4.006% and matures in March 2029, accrued interest of $1.3 million on the time deposit, U.S. Treasuries of $8.5 million, cash of $0.2 million and deferred issuance costs of $1.4 million for the Senior Notes. The consolidated liabilities include Senior Notes issued by NFTF totaling $177.4 million net of the $2.6 million discount and $0.7 million of accrued interest expense on the Senior Notes.

16


The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes the following amounts related to the Buyer SPE and NFTF for (i) interest income on the time deposit and amortization of the discounts on the U.S. Treasuries and (ii) interest expense for the Senior Notes, amortization of the discount and issuance costs:

The Company has classified the U.S. Treasury securities held by the AgReserves SPE and NFTF as held-to-maturity based on their intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. Accordingly, the debt securities are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value as of September 30, 2015. The U.S. Treasuries mature over the fifteen year period of the Timber Note or $0.8 million within one year, $3.6 million after one year through five years, $3.0 million after five years through ten years and $1.1 million after ten years.    
RiverTown Sale
On April 2, 2014, the Company completed the sale to an affiliate of Mattamy (Jacksonville) Partnership d/b/a Mattamy Homes (Mattamy), of approximately 4,057 acres of real property, which constitutes the RiverTown community in St. Johns County, Florida, along with all of the Company’s related development or developer rights, founder’s rights and certain tangible and intangible personal property in exchange for (1) $24.0 million in cash, (2) $19.6 million in the form of a purchase money note, (3) the assumption of the Company’s Rivers Edge Community Development District assessments and (4) the obligation to purchase certain RiverTown community related impact fee credits from the Company as the RiverTown community is developed. The $19.6 million purchase money note was paid in full as of June 30, 2015.
Based on Mattamy’s current development plans and St. Johns County’s current costs for impact fees, the Company estimates that it may receive $20 million to $26 million for the impact fees over the five-year period following the closing (most of which, the Company expects to receive at the end of that five-year period). However, the actual additional consideration received for the impact fees, will be based on Mattamy’s actual development of the RiverTown community, the timing of Mattamy’s development of the RiverTown community and the impact fee rates at the time of such development (as determined by St. Johns County’s then current impact fee rate schedule), which are all factors beyond the Company’s control. The Company cannot provide any assurance as to the amount or timing of any payments it may receive for the impact fees. The Company has not recorded a receivable for the estimated impact fees to be received and will record any revenues related to the receipt of the impact fees at the time of receipt. The Company received no impact fees during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and received $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the Company has received a total of approximately $0.2 million through September 30, 2015.
The Company recorded net earnings of $26.0 million before income taxes for the RiverTown Sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Mattamy also assumed the Company’s total outstanding Rivers Edge CDD assessments, which were $11.0 million, of which $5.4 million was recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2014.

7.5. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
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 a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
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.

Pledged Treasury Securities
In connection with a sale of the Company’s office portfolio in 2007, the Company completed an in-substance defeasance of approximately $29.3 million of mortgage debt that was collateralized by one of the commercial buildings. The Company assigned the mortgage debt and deposited sufficient funds with a trustee solely to satisfy the principal and remaining interest obligations on the mortgage debt when due. The interest yield on the pledged securities and the interest expense on the debt are closely related. The transaction did not qualify as an extinguishment of debt, since the Company was responsible if there had been a shortfall in the funds deposited into the trust, which were invested in government backed securities. The trust was not in the Company’s control and the trustee could not sell the securities prior to maturity. As such, the government backed securities or cash and the related debt (see Note 11, Debt) remained on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The government backed securities or cash were recorded as Pledged cash and treasury securities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

21


In August 2015, the remaining pledged treasury securities matured and were held as restricted cash at September 30, 2015. In October 2015, the trustee made the final balloon payment on the mortgage debt in the amount of $25.3 million, utilizing the pledged treasury securities and cash. There was no shortfall on the payment.

Retained Interest Investments
The Company has a beneficial interest in certain bankruptcy remote qualified special purpose entities (the “2008 SPEs”“SPEs”) used in the installment sale monetization of certain sales of timberlands in 2007 and 2008. The 2008 SPEs’ assets are not available to satisfy the Company’s liabilities or obligations and the liabilities of the 2008 SPEs are not the Company’s liabilities or obligations. In the event that proceeds from the financial instruments are insufficient to settle all of the liabilities of the 2008SPEs,, the Company is not obligated to contribute any funds to the 2008 SPEs. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the 2008 SPEs, since the Company is not the primary decision maker with respect to activities that could significantly impact the economic performance of the 2008 SPEs, nor does the Company perform any service activity related to the 2008 SPEs. Therefore, the 2008 SPEs’ assets and liabilities are not consolidated in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 20152016 and December 31, 2014.2015.
At the time of monetization the initial retained interest recorded was an estimate based on the present value of future excess cash flows expected to be received over the life of the retained interest, using management’s best estimate of underlying assumptions, including credit risk and discount rates. The Company’s continuing involvement with the 2008 SPEs is the receipt of the net interest payments and the remaining principal of approximately $15.2$15.0 million to be received at the end of the installment notes’ fifteen year maturity period, in 2022 through 2024.

The Company has a beneficial or retained interest investment related to the 2008these SPEs of $10.1$10.5 million and $9.9$10.2 million as of September 30, 20152016 and December 31, 2014,2015, respectively, recorded in Otherother assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has classified its retained interest investment as held-to-maturity because the Company has both the intent and the ability to hold its interest in the 2008 SPEs to maturity. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the retained interest investment at cost, adjusted for the accretion of investment income over the life of the retained interest using the effective yield method with rates ranging from 3.7% to 11.6%11.3%. The Company continues to update itsthe expectation of cash flows to be collected over the term of the retained interest. Changes to the previously projected cash flows are accounted for prospectively, unless based on management’s assessment of current information and events, it is determined that there is an other-than-temporary impairment. The Company has not recorded an other-than-temporary impairment related to its retained interest investments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20152016 and 2014.2015.

In the event of a failure and liquidation of the counterparties involved in the installment sales, the Company could be required to write-off the remaining retained interest recorded on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.condensed consolidated balance sheets in connection with the installment sale monetization transactions in 2007 and 2008.
Investments and Senior Notes Held by Special Purpose Entities
In connection with a real estate sale in 2014, the Company received consideration consisting of (i) cash, (ii) a $200.0 million fifteen-year installment note (the “Timber Note”) issued by Panama City Timber Finance Company, LLC, a buyer-sponsored special purpose entity (“AgReserves SPE”) and (iii) an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Letter of Credit”) at the request of AgReserves SPE, in favor of the Company. In 2014, the Company contributed the Timber Note and assigned its rights as a beneficiary under the Letter of Credit to Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC (“NFTF”), a bankruptcy-remote, qualified special purpose entity wholly-owned by the Company. NFTF monetized the Timber Note by issuing $180.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.8% Senior Secured Notes due in 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) at an issue price of 98.5% of face value to third party investors. AgReserves SPE and NFTF are VIEs, which the Company consolidates as the primary beneficiary of each entity. The investments held by the SPEs consist of a $200.0 million time deposit that, subsequent to April 2, 2014, pays interest at 4.0% and matures in March 2029, U.S. Treasuries of $8.1 million and cash of $0.4 million. The Senior Notes issued by NFTF consist of $176.3 million net of the $3.7 million discount and debt issuance costs.

9. Real Estate Joint Ventures
The Company enters into real estate joint ventures, from time to time, for the purpose of developing real estate in which the Company may or may not have a controlling financial interest. GAAP requires consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb the VIE losses and right to receive benefits that are significant to the VIE. The Company examines specific criteria and uses judgment when determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate a VIE. The Company continues to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary on an ongoing basis.

As of September 30, 2015,2016, the Company had no federal net operating loss carryforwards and had $325.7$313.1 million of state net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future taxable income through 2031.
In general, a valuation allowance is recorded if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future years in the appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain a benefit from the reversal of deductible temporary differences and from loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2013,2015, based on the timing of reversal of future taxable amounts and the Company’s history of losses, management did not believe it met the requirements to realize the benefits of certain of its deferred tax assets; therefore, the Company had maintained a valuation allowance of $93.1$6.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014,2016, the Company reversed $90.1$0.7 million of the valuation allowance that was recorded as of December 31, 2013.2015. As of September 30, 2015,2016, management believes it has not met the requirements to realize the benefits for a portion of its deferred tax assets for state net operating loss carryforwards; therefore, the Company has maintained a valuation allowance of $6.0$5.3 million for these deferred tax assets.

18. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company establishes an accrued liability when it believes it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company will evaluate the range of reasonably estimated losses and record an accrued liability based on what it believes to be the minimum amount in the range, unless it believes an amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amounts accrued. The Company evaluates quarterly whether further developments could affect the amount of the accrued liability previously established or would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.
The Company also provides disclosure when it believes it is reasonably possible that a loss will be incurred or when it believes it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the recorded liability. The Company reviews loss contingencies at least quarterly to determine whether the likelihood of loss has changed and to assess whether a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss can be made. 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.

The Company is subject to a variety of litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including litigation related to its prior homebuilding activities and those described herein. The Company cannot assure that it will be successful in defending these matters. Based on current knowledge, the Company does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings, including those 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, 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.
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 or range of loss 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 properties are subject to various Consent Agreements and Brownfield Site Rehabilitation Agreements with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.Protection (“FDEP”). The paper mill site has been rehabilitated by Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation in accordance with these agreements.agreements and a final Site Rehabilitation Completion Order (“SRCO”) issued by the FDEP has been received. The Company is in the process of assessing certain adjacentneighboring properties. Management is unable to quantify future rehabilitation costs above present accruals at this time or provide a reasonably estimated range of loss.
Other litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings, including environmental matters, are pending against the Company. Accrued aggregate liabilities related to the matters described above and other litigation matters were $1.4$2.3 million excluding the $3.5and $2.5 million accrual related to the SEC investigation discussed below, atas of September 30, 20152016 and December 31, 2014.2015, respectively. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether the amount of an exposure is reasonably estimable. Due to uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company's results of operations in a given period.

The Company’s real estate investments are concentrated in Northwest Florida in a number of specific development projects. Uncertain economic conditions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s real estate values and could cause the Company to sell assets at depressed values in order to pay ongoing expenses. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, investments, notes receivable, other receivables, investments held by special purpose entities,SPEs and investments in retained interests and pledged cash and securities held as collateral for payment of the in-substance defeased debt.interests.

Item 2.        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business Overview
We are a real estate development, asset management and operating company with real estate assets currently concentrated primarily between Tallahassee and Destin, Florida, which we predominantly use, or intend to use, for or in connection with, our various residential or commercial real estate developments, resorts and leisure operations, leasing operations or forestry operations.operations on a limited basis. We have significant residential and commercial land-use entitlements in hand or in process. We seek higher and better uses for our real estate investmentsassets through a range of activities from strategic land planning and liquid assets.development, infrastructure improvements and promoting economic development in the regions where we operate. We may explore the sale of such assets opportunistically or when we believe they have reached their highest and best use.

We received significant liquid assets as a result of the AgReserves Sale and RiverTown Sale. On August 15, 2015 our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase from time to time up to $300.0 million of our outstanding common stock through open market purchases pursuant to Rule 10b-18, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we repurchased a total of 16,982,739 shares of our common stock outstanding for a total price of $304.9 million, including costs. In October 2015, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $200.0 million for share repurchases. We may repurchase our outstanding common stock in open market purchases from time to time pursuant to Rule 10b-18, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. We will continue to seek additional opportunities to invest the remaining funds that could increase our returns. These investments may include longer term commercial or residential real estate or real estate related investments (in which we may play an active or passive role), investments in real estate investments trusts, and other investments in illiquid securities where we believe we can increase our returns.better deploy those resources.

Segments
We conduct primarily all of our business in the following five reportable operating segments: 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts and leisure, 4) leasing operations and 5) forestry. In prior periods our reportable operating segments were 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts, leisure and leasing operations and 4) forestry. Our leasing operations segment currently meets the quantitative and qualitative factors as a reportable operating segment; therefore, we have changed its segment presentation to include leasing operations as a reportable operating segment. Leasing operations were historically included with our resorts, leisure and leasing operating segment. All prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. The change in reporting segments has no effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.

Residential Real Estate
Our residential real estate segment typically plans and develops mixed-use resort, primary residential and seasonal residential communities of various sizes, primarily on our existing land. The following is a description of some of our major residential development communities in Florida that we are currently in the process of planning andor developing:

The WaterSoundWatersound Origins community is a residential community in South Walton County, Florida, with direct access to Lake Powell. The project has received government approval for approximately 1,164 single family1,074 single-family units with an additional multi-family component, however, the actual amountnumber of units that we ultimately approve for development will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meets our risk-adjusted investment return criteria and the availability of capital resources to fund such development. The WaterSoundWatersound Origins community includes a six-hole golf course that is operated by our Resortsresorts and Leisureleisure segment.

The Breakfast Point community is a residential community in Panama City Beach, Florida near the Pier Park shopping center.Florida. The project has received government approval for 368 single family units, however,units. However, the actual amountnumber of units that we ultimately approve for development will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meetsmeet our risk-adjusted investment return criteria and the availability of capital resources to fund such development. 


The SouthWood community is a large scale, mixed use development community located in the southeastern section of Tallahassee. The project has received government approval for 4,770 residential units, including 2,074 single family residences and 2,696 multi-family units, however, the actual amountnumber of units that we ultimately approve for development will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meetsmeet our risk-adjusted investment return criteria and the availability of capital resources to fund such development. SouthWood also includes ana golf clubhouse, 18-hole golf course and club and a town center with restaurants, retail shops and offices. The SouthWood Golf Club is operated by our Resortsresorts and Leisureleisure segment and a portion of the towncentertown center is leased and operated by our Leasingleasing segment.

We have other residential communities, such as the SummerCamp Beach, RiverCamps and WindMark Beach communities that have homesites available for sale. In addition, we have residential communities, such as the WaterColor, WaterSound Beach and WaterSound West Beach and other communities that are substantially developed. Thedeveloped and the remaining developed and available unitshomesites in those otherthese communities are available for sale.

In addition, we believe that there is a growing retirement demographic in Northwest Florida and that our development experience and the location, size and contiguous nature of our Florida land holdings provide us with strategic opportunities in this demographic. Specifically, the Bay-Walton County Sector Plan (the “Sector Plan”) was officially adopted by Bay County and Walton County in June 2015 and our Sector Plan was found in compliance with state law and is therefore in effect. The Sector Plan is a master plan that includes entitlements, or legal rights, to develop over 170,000 residential units and over 22 million square feet of retail, commercial, and industrial uses on 110,500 acres of our land holdings.  We anticipate a wide range of residential and commercial uses on these land holdings, including some portion of these entitlements serving the active adult retirement market.  As is true with all of our projects, what will actually be developed will be a function of more detailed planning, analysis, and market conditions, which will occur over time.
Our residential real estate segment generates revenuesrevenue primarily from the sale of developed homesites; the sale of parcels of entitled, undeveloped lots;land; a lot residual on homebuilder sales that provides us a percentage of the sale price of the completed home if the home price exceeds a negotiated threshold; the sale of impact fee credits; marketing fees and other fees on certain transactions. The results of our residential real estate revenue may vary from period to period depending on the communities where lots are sold, as prices vary significantly by community.

Our customer base for the sale of developed homesites is primarily focused on homebuilders. Homebuilders generally buy more homesites in a single transaction but tend to buy on a more sporadic basis. As a result, we may experience volatility in the consistency and pace of our residential real estate sales. In addition, the mix of homesites that we currently sell consists mostly of homesites in our primary communities which typically have a lower price and gross profit margin than homesites in our resort communities.
Our residential real estate segment incurs cost of revenuesrevenue primarily from costs directly associated with the land, development and construction of real estate sold and indirect costs such as development overhead, capitalized interest, marketing, project administration and selling costs.

The Bay-Walton Sector Plan is a long term master plan that includes entitlements, or legal rights, to develop over 170,000 residential units and over 22 million square feet of retail, commercial and industrial uses on approximately 110,500 acres of our land holdings.  We anticipate a wide range of residential and commercial uses on these land holdings, including some portion of these entitlements serving the active adult retirement market.  We believe that there is a growing retirement demographic and that our development experience and the location, size and contiguous nature of our Florida land holdings provide us with strategic opportunities in this demographic. As is true with all of our projects, what will actually be developed will be a function of more detailed planning, analysis and market conditions, which will occur over time.

As part of the April 2014 RiverTown real estate sale, the buyer, Mattamy, is obligated to pay impact fees. Based on Mattamy’s current development plans and St. Johns County’s current costs for impact fees, we estimate that we may receive $20.0 million to $26.0 million for the impact fees over the five-year period following the closing (most of which, we expect to receive at the end of that five-year period). However, the actual additional consideration received for the impact fees will be based on a variety of factors outside our control. We received $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and we have received a total of approximately $0.5 million from April 2014 through September 30, 2016.

Commercial Real Estate
In our commercial real estate segment, we plan, develop and entitle our land holdings for a variety of uses including a broad range of retail, office, hotel and industrial uses. We sell land for commercial and light industrial uses. From time to time, our commercial real estate segment may also sell certain properties inevaluates opportunities to maximize value by selling some of our resorts, and leisure or leasing operations segments.operating properties.

Our commercial real estate segment generates revenuesrevenue from the sale of developed and undeveloped land for retail, office, hotel and industrial uses, from the sale of undeveloped land or land with limited development and easements and the sale of commercial operating properties. Our commercial real estate segment incurs costs of revenuesrevenue from costs directly associated with the land, development, construction and selling costs.

In October 2015, our Pier Park North joint venture refinanced its Construction Loan and entered into a $48.2 million loan and will incur interest and financing expenses related to the Refinanced Loan as described in Note 8,9, Real Estate Joint Ventures.

Forestry
Our forestry segment focuses on the management of our timber holdings in Northwest Florida. We grow and sell sawtimber, wood fiber and forest products and provide land management services for conservation properties. Subsequent to the AgReserves Sale, we have sold and plan to continue toproducts. We generate revenue from our forestry segment primarily from open market sales of timber. We sell product on site without the associated delivery costs. Our forestry segment generates revenue from the sale of wood fiber, sawtimber, standing timber and forest products. Our forestry segment incurs costs of revenue from internal costs of forestry management and property taxes.

Our forestry segment may also generate revenuesrevenue from the sale of our timber holdings, undeveloped land or land with limited development and easements. Costs incurred as part of a sale of these lands may include the cost of timber, land, minimal development costs and selling costs.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenuesrevenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience, available current market information and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, we evaluate the results of these estimates on an on-going basis. 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and our accounting estimates are subject to change.
    

Critical accounting policies that we believe reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are set forth in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.2015. There have been no significant changes in these policies during the first nine months of 2015,2016, however we cannot assure you that these policies will not change in the future.

See Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for recently issued or adopted accounting standards, including the date of adoption and effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Seasonality
Some of ourOur businesses may be affected by seasonal fluctuations. For example, revenuesrevenue from our resorts and leisure segmentoperations are typically higher in the second and third quarters; however, they can vary depending on the timing of holidays and school breaks, including spring break.

In addition to the seasonality effect described above, variability in our results of operations is further heightened by the change in our customer mix in our residential real estate business from some retail sales, which have a more consistent flow of revenues, torevenue, are predominantly sales to homebuilders, who tend to buy multiple lots in sporadic bulk purchases.transactions which impacts the variability in our results of operations. In addition, the results of our residential real estate revenue may vary from period to period depending on the communities where lots are sold, as prices vary significantly by community. Our commercial real estate projects are likewise subject to one-off sales and the development of specific projects depending on demand. These variables have caused, and may continue to cause, our operating results to vary significantly from period to period.

Real Estate Sales.Revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2015,2016, residential real estate sales increased $1.2revenue decreased $1.8 million, or 36.7%, as compared to the same period in 2014. Excluding2015, primarily due to the RiverTown Sale, residential real estatemix of homesites sold in our primary home communities. During both the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we sold 34 lots. The revenue for each period was impacted by the volume of sales increased $0.7 million duringwithin each of the communities and variance in pricing among the communities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015,2016, residential real estate revenue increased $1.6 million, or 11.2%, as compared to the same period in 2014.2015, primarily due to a $3.4 million unimproved land sale and the mix of homesites sold in our communities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we sold 79 lots compared to 122 lots during the same period in 2015, due to the timing of builder contractual closing obligations.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 there were three commercial real estate sales totaling approximately 4 acres for $0.6 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, and September 30, 2014, there werewas no commercial real estate sales.revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, there were two sales of commercial real estate totaling approximately 11 acres for $4.7 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we sold approximately 90 acres of rural and timber land for $0.2 million and approximately 3 acres of mitigation bank credits for less than $0.3 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 there was no rural land and other revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we sold approximately 696 acres of rural and timber land for $1.2 million and approximately 4 acres of mitigation bank credits for $0.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we had a total of two sales of commercial real estate totaling 10.5 acres for $4.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we had three sales of commercial real estate totaling four acres for $3.3 million.

As our customer base for residential real estate sales has shifted from primarily retail based to being more weighted towards homebuilders who generally buy more homesites in a single transaction but who tend to buy on a more sporadic basis, we believe we will continue to experience greater volatility in the consistency and pace of our residential real estate sales in at least the near future term. In addition, as the mix of homesites that we sell has shifted to homesites in our primary communities, which typically have a lower price and gross profit margin than homesites in our resort communities, we may experience a decrease in our gross profit margin from residential real estate sales.

Included in revenues from real estate sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was revenue of $43.6 million for the RiverTown Sale. In addition, revenues from real estate sales included $5.3 million for the sale ofsold approximately 3,330 acres of rural and timber land during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.for $5.3 million and approximately 1 acre of mitigation bank credits for less than $0.1 million.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, cost of commercial real estate revenue included $0.2 million on the sale of commercial real estate and $0.4 million of impairment charges related to a commerce park, which resulted in no commercial real estate gross profit. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, there were no commercial real estate sales or gross profit.

Our gross profit margin can vary significantly from period to period depending on the type of property sold. Sales of rural and timber land typically have a lower basis than residential and commercial real estate sales. In addition, our basis in residential and commercial real estate can vary depending on the amount of development or other costs spent on the property.
As a result of the AgReserves Sale, we do not expect to have continuing substantial revenues from sales of our timber or rural lands in the future, which typically yield higher gross profit margins than residential and commercial real estate sales, thus also potentially decreasing future gross profit margins.

The Refinanced Loan will accrueaccrues interest at a rate of 4.1% per annum and matures in November 2025. The Refinanced Loan provides for interest only payments during the first twelve months and principal and interest payments thereafter with a final balloon principal payment at maturity of the Refinanced Loan. The Refinanced Loan is secured by a first lien on, and security interest in, a majority of Pier Park North joint venture’s property and a short term $6.6 million letter of credit.

The 2008 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 2008 installment notes to bankruptcy remote qualified special purpose entities (the “2008 SPEs”).SPEs. The entities’ financial condition and financial results are not consolidated in our financial statements.

During 2008 and 2007, the 2008 SPEsentities monetized the$183.3 million of installment notes by issuing debt securities to third party investors.investors equal to approximately 90% of the value of the installment notes. Approximately $163.0 million in net proceeds were distributed to us during 2008 and 2007. The debt securities are payable solely out of the assets of the entities and proceeds from the letters of credit. The investors in the 2008 SPEsentities have no recourse against us for payment of the debt securities or related interest expense.

We continue to update the expectation of cash flows to be collected over the term of the 2008 installment notes, of which approximately $15.2 million is expected to be received at the end of the 2008 installment notes fifteen year maturity period, in 2022 through 2024.notes. Changes to the previously projected cash flows are accounted for prospectively, unless based on management’s assessment of current information and events, it is determined that there is an other-than-temporary impairment. We have not recorded an other-than-temporary impairment related to our retained interest investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.2016.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks primarily from interest rate risk fluctuations. We have investments in corporate debt securities and U.S. Treasury securities that have fixed interest rates for which changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the investment, but not the earnings or cash flows. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $6.3 million in the market value of our available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2016. Any realized gains or losses resulting from such interest rate changes would only occur if we sold the investments prior to maturity. In addition, our investments in corporate debt securities are non-investment grade, which could affect their fair value and could materially impact our results of operations if a decline in their value is determined to be other-than-temporary. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $1.5 million in the market value of our available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2015. Any realized gains or losses resulting from such interest rate changes would only occur if we sold the investments prior to maturity.
Our cash and cash equivalents are invested in demand depositcommercial paper and money market instruments. Changes in interest rates related to these investments would not significantly impact our results of operations. The amount of interest earned on one of our retained interest investments is based on LIBOR. A 1%100 basis point change in the interest rate may result in an insignificant change in interest earned on the investment. Our treasury securities are invested in U.S. government treasury securities and do not bear market risk.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the quarter ended September 30, 20152016 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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.        Legal Proceedings
On January 4, 2011We are subject to a variety of litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, none of which we received notice frombelieve will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
In addition, we are subject to environmental laws and regulations, which include obligations to remove or limit the Staffeffects on the environment of the SECdisposal or release of the initiation of an inquiry into our policiescertain wastes or substances at various sites, including sites which have been previously sold. Refer to Note 18, Commitments and practices concerning impairment of investment in real estate assets and on June 24, 2011 the SEC issued to us a related order of private investigation.

Without admitting or denying any factual allegations, we consented to the SEC’s issuance of an administrative order pursuant to which we agreed to pay penalties, disgorgements and interest of approximately $3.5 million, including a civil penalty assessed on us of $2.75 million and other disgorgements and interest subject to indemnification by us. The settlement and all allegations relate to actions taken prior to the 2011 replacement of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.

Item 1A.     Risk Factors

As discussed in our Risk Factors contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, we have a significant investment portfolio managed by our investment advisor, Fairholme. Losses in the fair value of our available-for-sale investments, and the concentration of our investment portfolio in any particular issuer, industry, group of related industries or geographic sector, could have an adverse impact on our repurchasesresults of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In addition, our equity investments may fail to appreciate and may decline in value or become worthless.
As of September 30, 2016, we had $385.9 million in our investment accounts. Of this amount, we hold $149.3 million in cash equivalents, $99.7 million in U.S. Treasury securities, $113.7 million in corporate debt securities and $23.2 million in preferred stock investments. In addition, on November 1, 2016, we entered into an Amendment to our Investment Management Agreement which permits us to begin investing in common equity securities. The market value of these investments is subject to change from period to period. Our available-for-sale securities currently include investments in non-investment grade corporate debt securities and investments in non-investment grade preferred stock of three issuers. Pursuant to our Investment Management Agreement with Fairholme, we could invest up to a total of fifteen percent of the investment account in any one issuer as of the date of purchase.
We have exposure to credit risk associated with our available-for-sale investments, which include U.S. Treasury securities, corporate debt securities, preferred stock investments and retained interest investments. These instruments are also subject to price fluctuations as a result of changes in the financial market’s assessment of issuer credit quality, increases in delinquency and default rates, changes in prevailing interest rates and other economic factors. A downgrade of the U.S. government’s credit rating could also decrease the value of our available-for-sale investments. Losses in the fair value of our available-for-sale investments can negatively affect earnings if management determines that such securities are other-than-temporary impaired. The evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment is based on various factors, including the financial condition, business prospects, industry and creditworthiness of the issuer, severity and length of time the securities were in a loss position, our ability and intent to hold investments until unrealized losses are recovered or until maturity. If a decline in fair value is considered other-than-temporary, the carrying amount of the security is written down and the amount of the credit-related component is recognized in earnings. Based on these factors, the unrealized losses related to the Company's debt securities of $0.7 million were determined to be temporary at September 30, 2016.
Any losses in the fair value of our available-for-sale investments that are deemed to be other-than-temporary due to credit deterioration will result in us being required to record credit-related losses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, as a result of the concentration of our corporate debt securities and preferred stock investments, the performance of our investments may be disproportionately affected by any adverse change in the financial condition of these issuers or the market value of any of the securities in our portfolio, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Furthermore, although common equity securities have historically generated higher average total returns than other types of securities over the long term, common equity securities also have experienced significantly more volatility in those returns. The market price of common stock duringis subject to significant fluctuations due to a number of factors including the three months endedoperating performance of companies and other risks that may affect specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market, as well as adverse economic conditions generally, all of which are outside of our control. Our equity investments may fail to appreciate and may decline in value or become worthless. A substantial decline in the value of our equity investments would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
