FORESTAR GROUP INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Forestar Group Inc., all subsidiaries, ventures and other entities in which we have a controlling interest. We account for our investment in other entities in which we have significant influence over operations and financial policies using the equity method. We eliminate all material intercompany accounts and transactions. Noncontrolling interests in consolidated pass-through entities are recognized before income taxes.
We prepare our unaudited interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for interim financial statements. As a result, they do not include all the information and disclosures required for complete financial statements. However, in our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items unless otherwise noted. We make estimates and assumptions about future events. Actual results can, and probably will, differ from those we currently estimate including those principally related to allocating costs to real estate, measuring long-lived assets for impairment, oil and gas revenue accruals, capital expenditure and lease operating expense accruals associated with our oil and gas production activities, oil and gas reserves and depletion of our oil and gas properties. These interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. For further information, please read the financial statements included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At second quarter-end 2016, we have exited substantially all of our oil and gas working interest properties with the sale of the remaining Bakken/Three Forks properties in North Dakota which closed in second quarter 2016. As a result of this significant change in our operations, we have reported the results of operations and financial position of these assets as discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) and consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. In addition, in second quarter 2016, we changed the name of the oil and gas segment to mineral resources to reflect the strategic shift from oil and gas working interest investments to owned mineral interests. We also changed the name of the other natural resources segment to other.
Note 2—New and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting (SEC Update), which allows an entity to defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The updated standards are effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted ASU 2015-03 in first quarter 2016 and prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. As of December 31, 2015, $8,267,000 of debt issuance costs were reclassified in the consolidated balance sheet from other assets to debt. The adoption did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As permitted under this guidance, we will continue to present debt issuance costs associated with revolving-debt agreements as other assets.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (Topic 810), requiring entities to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. The revised consolidation model: (1) modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities, (2) eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (3) affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, and (4) provides a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in certain legal entities. The updated standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance, which was applied retrospectively, had no impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Pending Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. The updated standard becomes effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB decided to defer the effective date of the new standard by one year, to December 15, 2017. We

have not yet selected a transition method and we are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our earnings, financial position and disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), in order to provide increased transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The updated standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2020 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our earnings, financial position and disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, as part of its Simplification Initiative. The areas for simplification in this Updateupdate involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated standard becomes effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2016. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our earnings, financial position and disclosures.

At firstsecond quarter-end 2016 and year-end 2015, $7,953,000$1,907,000 and $8,267,000 of unamortized deferred financing fees are deducted from our outstanding debt.
Our debt agreements contain financial covenants customary for such agreements including minimum levels of interest coverage and limitations on leverage. On December 30, 2015, we amended our senior secured credit facility to reduce the interest coverage ratio from 2.50:1.0 to 2.25:1.0 for the quarter ending December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016. Thereafter, the interest coverage ratio returns to 2.50:1.0. At firstsecond quarter-end 2016, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of these agreements.
At firstsecond quarter-end 2016, our senior secured credit facility providesprovided for a $300,000,000 revolving line of credit maturing May 15, 2017 (with two one-year extension options). The revolving line of credit may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The revolving line of credit includes a $100,000,000 sublimit for letters of credit, of which $15,817,00015,321,000 iswas outstanding at firstsecond quarter-end 2016. Total borrowings under our senior secured credit facility (including the face amount of letters of credit) may not exceed a borrowing base formula. At firstsecond quarter-end 2016, we had $265,199,000$216,187,000 in net unused borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility.
Under the terms of our senior secured credit facility, at our option we can borrow at LIBOR plus 4.0 percent or at the alternate base rate plus 3.0 percent. The alternate base rate is the highest of (i) KeyBank National Association’s base rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5 percent or (iii) 30 day LIBOR plus 1 percent. Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility are or may be secured by (a) mortgages on the timberland, high value timberland and portions of raw entitled land, as well as pledges of other rights including certain oil and gas operating properties, (b) assignments of current and future leases, rents and contracts, (c) a security interest in our primary operating account, (d) a pledge of the equity interests in current and future material operating subsidiaries and most of our majority-owned joint venture interests, or if such pledge is not

permitted, a pledge of the right to distributions from such entities, and (e) a pledge of certain reimbursements payable to us from special improvement district tax collections in connection with our Cibolo Canyons project. The senior secured credit facility provides for releases of real estate and other collateral provided that borrowing base compliance is maintained.

Our debt agreements contain financial covenants customary for such agreements including minimum levels of interest coverage and limitations on leverage. At firstsecond quarter-end 2016, our tangible net worth requirement was $379,044,000 plus 85 percent of the aggregate net proceeds received by us from any equity offering, plus 75 percent of all positive net income, on a cumulative basis. At firstbasis since third quarter-end 2016, there were no adjustments to the tangible net worth requirement for net proceeds from equity offerings or positive net income on a cumulative basis.2015. The tangible net worth requirement is recalculated on a quarterly basis.
We may elect to make distributions to stockholders so long as the total leverage ratio is less than 40 percent, the interest coverage ratio is greater than 3.0:1.0 and available liquidity is not less than $125,000,000. Effective December 30, 2015,$125,000,000, all of which were satisfied at second quarter-end 2016. Regardless of whether the senior secured credit facility was amended to provide thatforegoing conditions are satisfied, we may make distributions in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000,000 to be funded from up to 65% of the net proceeds from sales of multifamily properties and non-core assets, such as the Radisson Hotel & Suites in Austin, and any oil and gas properties.
On June 21, 2016, we completed a cash tender offer for our 8.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (Notes), pursuant to which we purchased $215,495,000 principal amount (representing approximately 97.6% outstanding) of the Notes. Total consideration paid was $245,604,000, which included $29,091,000 in premium at 113.5% and $1,018,000 in accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we received consent from holders of the Notes to eliminate or modify certain covenants, events of default and other provisions contained in the indenture governing the Notes, and to release the subsidiary guarantees and collateral securing the Notes. We also purchased $1,150,000 principal amount of Notes at 99.95% of face value in open market transactions. The amendment provides ussecond quarter 2016 tender offer and open market purchases resulted in a $35,583,000 loss on extinguishment of debt, which includes the flexibilitypremium paid to repurchase stock or pay a special dividend should our Boardthe Notes, write-off of Directors determine that we should do so, though no such decisions have been made at this time.
unamortized debt issuance costs of $5,191,000 and $1,301,000 in other costs related to tender offer advisory services. In first quarter 2016, we purchased $8,600,000 principal amount of 8.50% Senior Secured Notes (Notes) at 99% of face value in the open market transactions, resulting in a $127,000 gain of $127,000 on the early extinguishment of the Notes offset by the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $225,000$225,000.
In second quarter 2016, we purchased $5,000,000 of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes at 93.25% of face value in open market transactions for $4,662,500 and we allocated $4,452,000 to extinguish the debt and $211,000 to reacquire the equity component within the convertible notes based on the fair value of the debt component. We recognized a $110,000 loss on extinguishment of debt based on the difference between the fair value of the debt component prior to conversion and the carrying value of the debt component. Total loss on extinguishment of debt including write-off of debt issuance costs allocated to the Notes.repurchased notes was $183,000.
At first quarter-endIn second quarter 2016, a secured promissory notes represent anote of $15,400,000 loan collateralized bywas paid in full in connection with sale of the Radisson Hotel & Suites, a 413 guest room hotel located in Austin, withfor $130,000,000.
In second quarter 2016, other indebtedness decreased principally as result of selling Eleven, a carrying value of $33,415,000 classified as assets held for sale. Other indebtedness principally represents a $23,936,000 of senior secured loan for our 257-unit multifamily project in Austin, with a carrying valuefor $60,150,000 and paying in full the associated debt of $50,527,000 classified as assets held for sale at first$23,936,000.

Note 11—10—Fair Value
Fair value is the exchange price that would be the amount received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In arriving at a fair value measurement, we use a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable. The three levels of inputs used to establish fair value are the following:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis principally include real estate assets, oil and gas properties, assets held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets, which are measured for impairment.
At first quarter-endIn second quarter 2016, Radisson Hotel & Suites in Austin, Eleven,we recognized non-cash impairment charges of $48,826,000 related to five non-core community development projects and one multifamily site as a 257-unit multifamily property in Austin, Dillon, a planned 379-unit multifamily property in Charlotte,result of the review of our entire portfolio of assets and certainmarketing these

properties for sale. We based our valuations primarily on third party broker price opinions and current negotiations and letters of intent with expected buyers. In second quarter 2016, we recognized non-cash impairment charges of $612,000 related to oil and gas working interests properties werewhich are classified as held for sale. We record impairment losses for assets held for sale if the fair value of the assets held for sale net of estimated selling costs is less than the carrying amount. In first quarter 2016, we did not record any impairment losses on our assets held for sale.

We elected not to use the fair value option for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, variable debt, accounts payable and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature or variable interest rates.

At firstsecond quarter-end 2016, the options havehad an aggregate intrinsic value of $0.
Note 13—12—Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating security. We have determined that our 6.00% tangible equity units (Units) are participating securities. Per share amounts are computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. In periods with a net loss, no such adjustment is made to earnings as the holders of the participating securities have no obligation to fund losses.

Due to a net loss from continuing operations in first quarter 2016 andsix months 2015, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive, basic and diluted loss per share are the same. The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

The actual number of shares we may issue upon settlement of the stock purchase contract related to the 6.00% tangible equity units will be between 6,547,800 shares (the minimum settlement rate) and 7,857,000 shares (the maximum settlement rate) based on the applicable market value, as defined in the purchase contract agreement associated with issuance of the Units.
We intend to settle the principal amount of our 3.75% convertible senior notes (Convertible Notes) in cash upon conversion with only the amount in excess of par value of the Convertible Notes to be settled in shares of our common stock. Therefore, our calculation of diluted net income per share using the treasury stock method includes only the amount, if any, in excess of par value of the Convertible Notes. As such, the Convertible Notes have no impact on diluted net income per share until the price of our common stock exceeds the $24.49 conversion price of the Convertible Notes. The average price of our common stock in firstsecond quarter 2016 did not exceed the conversion price which resulted in no additional diluted outstanding shares.
Note 14—13—Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 3855 percent in second quarter 2016 and 51 percent for the first quartersix months 2016, which includes a threean 18 percent benefitdetriment for a partial release ofan increase in our valuation allowance and a five percent detriment for goodwill duewhich was recorded to the sale of oil and gas assets.offset current year increases in our deferred tax asset. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 3525 percent in second quarter 2015 and 40 percent in first quartersix months 2015, which included a twofour percent benefit for noncontrolling interests and a twoseven percent detriment for share-based compensation benefits that will not be realized. OurIn addition, 2016 and 2015 effective tax rates alsofrom continuing operations include the effect of state income taxes, nondeductible items and benefits of percentage depletion.
At firstsecond quarter-end 2016 and year-end 2015, we havehad a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets of $95,389,000$97,041,000 and $97,068,000 for the portion of the deferred tax assets that we have determined is more likely than not to be unrealizable.
In determining our valuation allowance, we assessed available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax asset. A significant piece of objective evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended March 31,June 30, 2016, principally driven by impairments of oil and gas properties in 2015. Such evidence limits our ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our projected future taxable income.

The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted if negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence, such as our projected future taxable income.
Note 15—14—Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
We are involved in various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business and believe that adequate reserves have been established for any probable losses. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings should have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, long-term results of operations or cash flows. However, it is possible that charges related to these matters could be significant to our results or cash flows in any one accounting period.

On October 4, 2014, James Huffman, a former director and CEO of CREDO Petroleum Corporation (Credo), which we acquired in 2012 and is now known as Forestar Petroleum Corporation, filed Huffman vs. Forestar Petroleum Corporation, Case Number 14CV33811, Civil Division, District Court for the City and County of Denver, Colorado. Prior to his retirement from Credo, Huffman participated in an employee compensation program under which he received overriding royalty interests (ORRI) in certain leases or wells in which Credo had an interest. Huffman claims entitlement to ORRI on nearly all North Dakota leases, none of which were assigned by Credo to Huffman prior to his retirement, and to ORRI on several Kansas and Nebraska leases. Huffman is seeking to have ORRI assigned to him. We believe Huffman’s claims are without merit and are vigorously defending the case. We are unable to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss for this matter because of, among other factors, (i) significant unresolved questions of fact, including the time period covered by Huffman’s claims, (ii) discovery remaining to be conducted by both parties; (iii) impact of our counterclaims against Huffman, and (iv) any other factors that may have a material effect on the litigation.
Environmental
Environmental remediation liabilities arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business, and we believe we have established adequate reserves for any probable losses that we can reasonably estimate. We own 288 acres near Antioch, California, portions of which were sites of a former paper manufacturing operation that are in remediation. We have received certificates of completion on all but one 80 acre tract, a portion of which includes subsurface contamination. In first quartersix months 2016, we increased our reserves for environmental remediation by $86,000$117,000 due to additional testing and remediation requirements by state regulatory agencies. We estimate the remaining cost to complete remediation activities will be $678,000651,000, which is included in other accrued expenses. It is possible that remediation or monitoring activities could be required in addition to those included within our estimate, but we are unable to determine the scope, timing or extent of such activities.
We have asset retirement obligations related to the abandonment and site restoration requirements that result from the acquisition, construction and development of oil and gas properties. We record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Accretion expense related to the asset retirement obligation and depletion expense related to capitalized asset retirement cost is included in cost of oil and gas producing activities.activities of discontinued operations. At firstsecond quarter-end 2016 and year-end 2015, our asset retirement obligation was $974,000486,000 and $1,758,000, of which $230,000$386,000 and $1,667,000 is included in liabilities held for sale at first quarter-end 2016of discontinued operations and the remaining balance in other liabilities.
Non-Core Assets Restructuring Costs
In connection with key initiatives to reduce costs across our entire organization and exit non-core assets, in first six months 2016, we incurred and paid severance costs related to workforce reductions of $1,422,000 in our real estate segment, $164,000 in our other natural resources segment and $486,000 in unallocated general and administrative expense. In addition, we offered retention bonuses to certain key personnel provided they remained our employees through completion of sale transactions. We are expensing retention bonus costs over the estimated retention period. These restructuring costs are included in other operating expense.

Note 16—15—Segment Information
We manage our operations through three segments: real estate, oilmineral resources and gas and other natural resources.other. Real estate secures entitlements and develops infrastructure on our lands for single-family residential and mixed-use communities, and manages our undeveloped land and commercial and income producing properties, primarily a hotelwhich consist of three projects and ourtwo multifamily investments. Oil and gas is an independent oil and gas exploration, development and production operation andsites. Mineral resources manages our owned and leased mineral interests. Other natural resources manages our timber, recreational leases and water resource initiatives.


In second quarter 2016, we changed the name of the oil and gas segment to mineral resources to reflect the strategic shift from oil and gas working interest investments to owned mineral interests. We also changed the name of the other natural resources to other.

Assets not allocated to segments at firstsecond quarter-end 2016 principally consist of cash and cash equivalents of $142,646,000107,421,000 and an income tax receivable of $14,359,0003,228,000. Assets not allocated to segments at year-end 2015 principally consist of cash and cash equivalents of $96,442,000 and an income tax receivable of $12,056,000. Assets of discontinued operations represent oil and gas working interest assets we have or will be exiting.
We evaluate performance based on segment earnings (loss) before unallocated items and income taxes. Segment earnings (loss) consist of operating income, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated ventures, gain on sales of assets, interest income on loans secured by real estate and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Items not allocated to our business segments consist of general and administrative expense, share-based and long-term incentive compensation, gain on sale of strategic timberland, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and other corporate non-operating income and expense. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1—Basis of Presentation. Our revenues are derived from U.S. operations and all of our assets are located in the U.S. In firstsecond quarter 2016, no single customer accounted for more than ten percent of our total revenues.

Note 17—16—Variable Interest Entities
We participate in real estate ventures for the purpose of acquiring and developing residential, multifamily and mixed-use communities in which we may or may not have a controlling financial interest. Generally accepted accounting principles require consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (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. We examine specific criteria and use judgment when determining whether we are the primary beneficiary and must consolidate a VIE. We perform this review initially at the time we enter into venture agreements and continuously reassess to see if we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE.
At firstsecond quarter-end 2016, we have one VIE. We account for this VIE using the equity method since we are not the primary beneficiary. Although we have certain rights regarding major decisions, we do not have the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the economic performance of the VIE. At firstsecond quarter-end 2016, the VIE has total assets of $4,161,0004,157,000, substantially all of which represent developed and undeveloped real estate, and total liabilities of $2,208,0002,163,000, which includes $2,203,0000 of borrowings classified as current maturities. These amounts are included in the summarized balance sheet information for ventures accounted for using the equity method in Note 8—7—Investment in Unconsolidated Ventures. At firstsecond quarter-end 2016, our investment in the VIE is $1,558,0001,584,000 and is included in investment in unconsolidated ventures. In first quartersix months 2016, we contributed $44,00078,000 to this VIE. Our maximum exposure to loss related to the VIE is $3,766,0003,747,000, which exceeds our investment as we have a nominal general partner interest and could be held responsible for its liabilities. The maximum exposure to loss represents the maximum loss that we could be required to recognize assuming all the ventures’ assets (principally real estate) are worthless, without consideration of the probability of a loss or of any actions we may take to mitigate any such loss.

Share-Based Compensation
In first quartersix months 2016, we granted 174,419 equity-settled awards to employees in the form of restricted stock units which vest ratably over three years and provide for accelerated vesting upon retirement, disability, death, or if there is a change in control. In addition, in first quartersix months 2016, we granted 69,760 restricted stock units to our board of directors which vest 25 percent at grant date and 25 percent at each subsequent quarterly board meeting and a stock option grant to acquire 20,000 shares of common stock for each of the two new directors, of which 6,500 shares vest on the first and second anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining 7,000 shares vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant. The option term is ten years. Expense associated with annual restricted stock units and non-qualified stock options to our board of directors is included in share-based compensation expense.
Excluded from share-based compensation expense in the table above are fees earned by our board of directors in the amount of $265,000$163,000 and $285,000$229,000 in second quarter of 2016 and 2015 and $428,000 and $514,000 in first quartersix months 2016 and 2015 for which they elected to defer payment until retirement in the form of share-settled units. These expenses are included in general and administrative expense.
The fair value of awards granted to retirement eligible employees expensed at the date of grant was $600,000 and $517,000 in first quartersix months 2016 and 2015. Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested equity-settled awards, restricted stock and stock options is $3,879,000$3,178,113 at firstsecond quarter-end 2016.
In first quartersix months 2016 and 2015, we issued 165,167 and 157,201 shares out of our treasury stock associated with vesting of stock-based awards or exercise of stock options, net of 23,691 and 48,636 shares withheld having a value of $205,000 and $723,000 for payroll taxes in connection with vesting of stock-based awards or exercise of stock options.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
In first quartersix months 2016 and 2015, we granted $620,000 and $587,000 of long-term incentive compensation in the form of deferred cash compensation. The 2016 deferred cash awards vest annually over two years, and the 2015 deferred cash awards vest after three years. Both awards provide for accelerated vesting upon retirement, disability, death, or if there is a change in control. Expense associated with deferred cash awards is recognized ratably over the vesting period. The accrued liability was $319,000$395,000 and $225,000 at firstsecond quarter-end 2016 and year-end 2015 and is included in other liabilities.
Note 19—Subsequent Events
On April 18, 2016, we sold Eleven, a 257-unit multifamily project in Austin for $60,150,000. The transaction generated net proceeds of $35,150,000 after closing costs and prorations and payoff of the related debt of $23,936,000.
On May 4, 2016, we sold Radisson Hotel & Suites in Austin for $130,000,000. The transaction generated net proceeds of $112,000,000 after closing costs and prorations and payoff of the related debt of $15,400,000.
On May 6, 2016, we sold our remaining Bakken/Three Forks oil and gas properties for $50,000,000. Net proceeds after closing costs and prorations were $46,525,000. In second quarter 2016, we expect to incur an additional loss related to this transaction due to allocation of goodwill on a relative fair value basis to these assets. With this transaction, we have completely exited our oil and gas working interest assets in North Dakota.


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

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other materials we have filed or may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “could,” “estimate,” “likely,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “expect,” and similar expressions, including references to assumptions. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties. We note that a variety of factors and uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors and uncertainties that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to:
general economic, market or business conditions in Texas or Georgia, where our real estate activities are concentrated, or on a national or global scale;

future residential or commercial entitlements, development approvals and the ability to obtain such approvals;
obtaining approvals of reimbursements and other payments from special improvement districts and the timing of such payments;
accuracy of estimates and other assumptions related to investment in and development of real estate, the expected timing and pricing of land and lot sales and related cost of real estate sales, impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes, share-based compensation, oil and gas reserves, revenues, capital expenditures and lease operating expense accruals associated with our non-core oil and gas working interests, and depletion of our non-core oil and gas properties;compensation;
the levels of resale housing inventory in our mixed-use development projects and the regions in which they are located;
fluctuations in costs and expenses, including impacts from shortages in materials or labor;
demand for new housing, which can be affected by a number of factors including the availability of mortgage credit, job growth and fluctuations in commodity prices;
demand for multifamily communities, which can be affected by a number of factors including local markets and economic conditions;
competitive actions by other companies;
changes in governmental policies, laws or regulations and actions or restrictions of regulatory agencies;
risks associated with oil and gas exploration, drilling and production activities;
fluctuations in oil and gas commodity prices;
demand by oil and gas operators to lease our minerals, which may be influenced by government regulation of exploration and production technology,activities including hydraulic fracturing;
our ability to make interest and principal payments on our debt or amend and satisfy the other covenants contained in our senior secured credit facility, indentures and other debt agreements;
our partners’ ability to fund their capital commitments and otherwise fulfill their operating and financial obligations;
the effect of limitations, restrictions and natural events on our ability to harvest and deliver timber;
inability to obtain permits for, or changes in laws, governmental policies or regulations affecting, water withdrawal or usage;
the final resolutions or outcomes with respect to our contingent and other liabilities related to our business.

Other factors, including the risk factors described in Item 1A of our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by our forward-looking statements. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors, nor can we assess the impact of any such factor on our business or

the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Discontinued Operations / Segment Name Changes
At second quarter-end 2016, we have exited substantially all of our oil and
Providing additional information. gas working interests properties with the sale of the remaining Bakken/Three Forks properties in North Dakota which closed in second quarter 2016. As a result of this significant change in our operations, we have reported the results of operations and financial position of these assets as discontinued operations for all periods presented. In addition, in second quarter 2016, we changed the name of the oil and gas segment to mineral resources to reflect the strategic shift from oil and gas working interest investments to owned mineral interests. We also changed the name of the other natural resources segment to other. The discussion of our results of operations is based on the results from our continuing operations unless otherwise indicated.

Significant aspects of our results of operations follow:
FirstSecond Quarter and First Six Months 2016
FirstSecond quarter 2016 real estate segment earnings benefited from a $9,613,000 gain associated with the salecombined gains of our interest in the 360°, a 304-unit multifamily joint venture in Denver, and a $3,968,000 gain associated with sale$107,650,000 which generated combined net proceeds before debt repayment of Music Row, a wholly-owned multifamily property under construction in Nashville, both as result of our announced plan to opportunistically exit our multifamily portfolio of assets.
First quarter 2016 oil and gas segment results were down compared with first quarter 2015 due to a $10,977,000 loss associated with the sale of non-core oil and gas properties principally located in Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and North Dakota$214,666,000 as a result of executing our announcedkey initiative to opportunistically exit and sell non-core assets. These gains were partially offset by non-cash impairment charges of $48,826,000 related to five non-core community development projects and one multifamily site. These impairments were a result of our key initiative to review our entire portfolio of assets which resulted in business plan changes, inclusive of cash tax savings considerations, to exit non-core oilmarket these properties for sale. In addition, second quarter 2016 segment earnings benefited from higher undeveloped land sales activity compared with second quarter 2015.
In second quarter 2016, we completed a cash tender offer for our 8.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (Notes), pursuant to which we purchased $215,495,000 principal amount (representing approximately 97.6% outstanding) of the Notes. Total consideration paid was $245,604,000, which included $29,091,000 in premium at 113.5% and gas working interests.$1,018,000 in accrued and unpaid interest. We also purchased $1,150,000 principal amount of Notes at 99.95% of face value and $5,000,000 of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes at 93.25% of face value in open market transactions.
The second quarter 2016 cash tender offer and open market purchases resulted in a $35,766,000 loss on extinguishment of debt.
Second quarter and first six months 2016 interest expense decreased primarily due to decrease in our debt outstanding by $318,748,000 since second quarter-end 2015.
Current Market Conditions
New U.S. single-family home starts ended MarchJune 2016 at 764,000778,000 on a seasonally adjusted basis, nearly 23over 13 percent above year-ago levels but below historical levels. Inventories of new homes are near historically lowat or below equilibrium levels in many areas.our key markets. In addition, declining finished lot inventories and limited supply of economically developable raw land has increased demand for our developed lots. However,Job growth remains above national andaverage in most of our key markets, supporting continued housing demand. However, global economic weakness and uncertainty, and aan ongoing restrictive mortgage lending environment continue to threaten a robust recovery in the housing market, despite low interest rates. Multifamily market conditions continue to be strong, with many markets experiencing healthy occupancy levels and positive rent growth. This improvement has been driven primarily by limited housing inventory, reduced single-family mortgage credit availability, and the increased propensity to rent among the 18 to 34 year old demographic of the U.S. population.
Global supply and demand fundamentals for crude oil at the end of MarchJune 2016 remained out of balance with high global and domestic inventories and slower global growth.growth only partially offset by several global unplanned disruptions. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil prices averaged $33.18$45.46 per Bbl in firstsecond quarter 2016, nearly 3221 percent lower than in firstsecond quarter 2015. Estimates for global demand growth continue to be tempered and could extend the global supply glut, resulting in an extended period of low crude oil pricing. Henry Hub natural gas prices in firstsecond quarter 2016 averaged $2.00/$2.15/MMBtu, 3122 percent lower than firstsecond quarter 2015 and the lowest firstsecond quarter average since 1999. Natural gas inventories ended winter withdrawalon July 1, 2016 were 3,179 Bcf, 19 percent higher than a year ago and above the previous end of March2011-2015 average for that week. Inventories are expected to reach the highest level on record high in 2012 due to warmer-than-normal temperatures and continued high production volumes.by October 2016.
Business Segments
We manage our operations through three business segments:
Real estate,
Oil and gas,Mineral resources, and
Other natural resources.
We evaluate performance based on segment earnings (loss) before unallocated items and income taxes. Segment earnings (loss) consist of operating income, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated ventures, gain on sales of assets, interest income on loans secured by real estate and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Items not allocated to our business segments consist of general and administrative expense, share-based and long-term incentive compensation, gain on sale of strategic timberland, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and other corporate non-operating income and expense. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the accounting policy note to the consolidated financial statements.
We operate in cyclical industries. Our operations are affected to varying degrees by supply and demand factors and economic conditions including changes in interest rates, availability of mortgage credit, consumer and home builder sentiment,

new housing starts, real estate values, employment levels, changes in the market prices for oil, gas and timber, and the overall strength or weakness of the U.S. economy.
Real Estate
We own directly or through ventures interests in 5756 residential and mixed-use projects comprised of 7,000 acres of real estate located in 11 states and 15 markets. Our real estate segment secures entitlements and develops infrastructure on our lands, primarily for single-family residential and mixed-use communities. We own approximately 87,00071,000 acres of non-core timberland and undeveloped land in a broad area around Atlanta, Georgia with the balance located primarilyand approximately 10,000 acres in Texas. We own and manage our projects either directly or through ventures. Our real estate segment revenues are principally derived from the sales of residential single-family lots and tracts, undeveloped land and commercial real estate and from the operation of income producing properties, primarily a hotel and multifamily properties.

Residential real estate revenues principally consist of the sale of single-family lots to local, regional and national homebuilders. Residential lot sales volume in first quartersix months 2016 was comparablehigher when compared with first quartersix months 2015, however, average price per lot sold was down 8 percent.percent due to mix of product sold. Commercial real estate revenues principally consist of the sale of tracts to commercial developers that specialize in the construction and operation of income producing properties such as apartments, retail centers, or office buildings.
In first quartersix months 2016, we sold 1,9727,397 acres of undeveloped land for $5,703,000,$18,517,000, or approximately $2,892$2,504 per acre, generating approximately $4,314,000$14,879,000 in segment earnings, as compared with 7311,634 acres sold for $2,015,000$4,765,000 or approximately $2,758$2,916 per acre, generating approximately $1,364,000$3,468,000 in segment earnings in first quartersix months 2015.
Commercial and income producing properties revenue includes revenues from hotel room sales and other guest services, rental revenues from our operating multifamily properties and reimbursement for costs paid to subcontractors plus development and construction fees from certain multifamily projects. First quartersix months 2016 and 2015 includesincluded $199,000 and $2,029,000$4,554,000 in construction revenues associated with one multifamily joint venture fixed fee contract as general contractor. The construction of this multifamily joint venture project was completed in first quarter 2016. Development fee revenues in first quartersix months 2016 and 2015 were $1,298,000$1,303,000 and $407,000.$648,000. The increase in development fee revenues in first quartersix months 2016 was related to contingent development fee earned on the 360° multifamily venture project near Denver upon completion of construction in accordance with the joint venture agreement. Rental revenues from our multifamily operating properties for first quartersix months 2016 and 2015 were $1,313,000$1,599,000 and $1,762,000.$3,803,000. The decrease in rental revenues from our multifamily operating properties in

first quartersix months 2016 when compared with first quartersix months 2015 was primarily due to the fourth quarter 2015 sale of Midtown Cedar Hill, a 354-unit multifamily property we developed near Dallas.Dallas and second quarter 2016 sale of Eleven, a multifamily property in Austin. Revenues from hotel room sales and other guest services were $6,880,000$9,951,000 and $6,672,000$12,646,000 in first quartersix months 2016 and 2015. The decrease in revenues from hotel room sales and other guest services in first six months 2016 when compared with first six months 2015 was primarily due to the sale of Radisson Hotel & Suites in second quarter 2016.
The increase in other revenues in first quartersix months 2016 is primarily associated with easement revenues associated with our undeveloped land.

Cost of sales in second quarter and first six months 2016 included non-cash asset impairment charges of $48,826,000 associated with five non-core community development projects and one multifamily site compared with $729,000 of non-cash asset impairment charges in first six months 2015. The impairments in second quarter 2016 and 2015 include $526,000 and $2,434,000 relatedwere a result of our key initiative to multifamilyreview our entire portfolio of assets which resulted in business plan changes, inclusive of cash tax savings considerations, to market these properties for sale. Multifamily construction contract costs we incurred as general contractor and paid to subcontractors were $569,000 in first six months 2016 compared with $5,126,000 in first six months 2015. The decrease is associated with completion of our development of a multifamily venture property near Denver which was completed in first quarter 2016. Included in multifamily construction contract costs are charges of $327,000$369,000 and $405,000$572,000 in first quartersix months 2016 and 2015 reflecting estimated cost increases associated with our fixed fee contracts as general contractor.

The increase in employee compensation and benefits expense in first quartersix months 2016 is principally related to $1,422,000 of severance costs incurred as a result of our key initiatives to reduce costs across our entire organization and classifying our multifamily portfolio as non-core and our announced plan to exit thesenon-core assets. The decrease in depreciation and amortization in first quartersix months 2016 is primarily due to the fourth quarter 2015 sale of Midtown Cedar Hill multifamily project, full amortization of in-place leases associated with Eleven multifamily project in 2015, sale of Eleven multifamily property in second quarter 2016 and discontinuing depreciation of the Radisson Hotel & Suites and Eleven multifamily project due toas a result of first quarter 2016 classification as assets held for sale. Other operating expense in first quartersix months 2016 includes $1,058,000$1,554,000 of pre-acquisition costs related to multifamily projects that we no longer intend to pursue.

Interest income principally represents earnings from a loan secured by a mixed-use real estate community in Houston that was paid in full in first quarter 2015 and interest income received on reimbursements from utility and improvement districts.
Gain on sale of assets in second quarter 2016 includes a gain of $95,336,000 related to sale of Radisson Hotel & Suites for $130,000,000, a gain of $9,116,000 related to sale of Eleven for $60,150,000, a gain of $1,229,000 associated with sale of Dillon for $25,979,000, a gain of $750,000 related to receipt of funds held in escrow and deferred in first quarter 2016 associated with sale of our interest in 360° and a gain of $1,219,000 associated with the reduction of a surety bond in connection with the Cibolo Canyons Special Improvement District (CCSID) bond offering in 2014. In addition to second quarter 2016 gains discussed above, first six months 2016 includes a gain of $9,613,000 related to sale of our interest in 360°, a 304-unit multifamily joint venture in Denver for $13,917,000, of which $750,000 was held in escrow and the gain deferred until completion of certain construction related post-closing obligations and $3,968,000 gain associated with sale of Music Row,Row. Second quarter and first six months 2015 gain on sale of assets of $1,160,000 is associated with the reduction of a wholly-owned multifamily property under constructionsurety bond in Nashville for $14,703,000, both as a result of our announced plan to opportunistically exit our multifamily portfolio of assets.connection with the CCSID bond offering in 2014.
Decrease in equity earnings from our unconsolidated ventures in second quarter and first quartersix months 2016 compared with second quarter and first quartersix months 2015 is primarily due to lower residential lot sales and no commercial real estate sales activity.

activity and no undeveloped land sales.
We underwrite development projects based on a variety of assumptions incorporated into our development plans, including the timing and pricing of sales and leasing and costs to complete development. Our development plans are periodically reviewed in comparison to our return projections and expectations, and we may revise our plans as business conditions warrant. If as a result of changes to our development plans the anticipated future net cash flows are reduced such that our basis in a project is not fully recoverable, we may be required to recognize a non-cash impairment charge for such project.

Oil and GasMineral Resources
Our oil and gasmineral resources segment is focused on maximizing the value from our owned oil and gas mineral interests through promoting exploration, development and production activities by increasing acreage leased, lease rates and royalty interests.
We lease portions of our 590,000 owned net mineral acres located principally in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama to other oil and gas companies in return for a lease bonus, delay rentals and a royalty interest. At first quarter-end 2016, we have about 15,000 net acres leased to others, about 40,000 net acres leased to others that are held by production related to our owned mineral interests and 533 gross wells operated by others on our owned mineral acres.
In addition, we are focused on exiting our non-core working interest oil and gas assets, principally in the Bakken/Three Forks of North Dakota and Lansing - Kansas City formation of Nebraska and Kansas. In first quarter 2016, we sold our remaining Nebraska and Kansas oil and gas properties for $21,000,000 and sold certain oil and gas properties in North Dakota for $9,499,000 which includes $3,269,000 in reimbursement of capital costs incurred on in-progress wells that were assumed by the buyer. On May 6, 2016 we sold our our remaining Bakken/Three Forks oil and gas properties for $50,000,000. Net proceeds after purchase price adjustments were $46,525,000 and with the close of this transaction we have completely exited our oil and gas working interests in North Dakota.

The decrease in operating expenses in first quarter 2016 compared with first quarter 2015 is primarily due to our key initiative to reduce costs across our entire organization and corresponding reduction in our workforce. First quarter 2015 operating expenses includes $1,750,000 for a lease termination charge associated with closing our office in Fort Worth, Texas and $1,068,000 of employee severance and retention costs.
In first quarter 2016, we recorded a net loss of $10,977,000 on the sale of 190,960 mineral acres leased from others and 185 gross (66 net) producing oil and gas wells primarily in Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and North Dakota for total sales proceeds of $32,227,000. A significant portion of the net loss on sale, $7,244,000, is related to write-off of allocated goodwill to sold producing oil and gas properties. In first quarter 2015, we recorded a gain of $1,176,000 related to the sale of 290 net mineral acres leased from others in North Dakota for approximately $2,000,000.

Other Natural Resources
Our other natural resources segment manages our timber holdings, recreational leases and water resource initiatives. At firstsecond quarter-end 2016, we have about 87,00081,000 real estate acres with timber we own directly or through ventures, primarily in Georgia and Texas. OurHistorically, our other natural resources segment revenues are principally derived from the sales of wood fiber from our land and leases for recreational uses. We have water interests in approximately 1.5 million acres, including a 45 percent nonparticipating royalty interest in groundwater produced or withdrawn for commercial purposes or sold from 1.4 million acres in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama, and approximately 20,000 acres of groundwater leases in central Texas.

The decrease in general and administrative expense in first quartersix months 2016 when compared with first quartersix months 2015 is primarily due to our key initiative to reduce costs across entire organization. Employee compensation and benefits includes $486,000 in severance costs incurred in first quartersix months 2016.
Share-based and long-term incentive compensation expense

Our share-based compensation expense fluctuates principally fluctuates due to a portion of our awards being cash-settled and as a result are affected by changes in market price of our common stock. The decrease in share-based compensation expense in first quartersix months 2016 when compared with first quartersix months 2015 is primarily due to decrease in new grants awarded to employees, decrease in annual restricted stock grants to our Board of Directors and decrease in value of cash-settled awards paid in first quartersix months 2016 due to decrease in market price of our common stock by over 20 percent from year-end 2015 to settlement date. These decreases were somewhat offset by an increase of over 19about 9 percent in our stock price since year-end 2015 and its impact on cash-settled awards.
Interest expense

The decrease in interest expense in first quartersix months 2016 when compared with first quartersix months 2015 is primarily due to decrease indecreasing our debt outstanding associated withby $318,748,000 since second quarter-end 2015.

Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 3855 percent in second quarter 2016 and 51 percent for first quartersix months 2016 which includes a threean 18 percent benefitdetriment for a partial release ofincrease in our valuation allowance and a five percent detriment for goodwill duewhich was recorded to the sale of oil and gas assets.offset current year increases in our deferred tax asset. Our effective tax rate was 3525 percent in second quarter 2015 and 40 percent in first quartersix months 2015 which included a twofour percent benefit for noncontrolling interests and a twoseven percent detriment for share-based compensation benefits that will not be realized. OurIn addition, 2016 and 2015 effective tax rates alsofrom continuing operations include the effect of state income taxes, nondeductible items and benefits of percentage depletion.
At firstsecond quarter-end 2016 and year-end 2015, we have a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets of $95,389,000$97,041,000 and $97,068,000 for the portion of the deferred tax assets that we have determined is more likely than not to be unrealizable.
In determining our valuation allowance, we assessed available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax asset. A significant piece of objective evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended March 31,June 30, 2016, principally driven by impairments of oil and gas properties in 2015. Such evidence limits our ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our projected future taxable income.
The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted if negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence, such as our projected future taxable income.


Capital Resources and Liquidity
Sources and Uses of Cash
The consolidated statements of cash flows for first six months 2016 and 2015 reflects cash flows from both continuing and discontinued operations. We operate in cyclical industries and our cash flows fluctuate accordingly. Our principal sources of cash are proceeds from the sale of real estate and timber, the cash flow from oil and gas and income producing properties, borrowings and reimbursements from utility and improvement districts. Our principal cash requirements are for the acquisition and development of real estate, and investment in oil and gas leasing and production activities, either directly or indirectly through ventures, taxes, interest and compensation. Operating cash flows are affected by the timing of the payment of real estate development expenditures and the collection of proceeds from the eventual sale of the real estate, the timing of which can vary substantially depending on many factors including the size of the project, state and local permitting requirements and availability of utilities, and by the timing of oil and gas leasing and production activities. Working capital varies based on a variety of factors, including the timing of sales of real estate and timber, oil and gas leasing and production activities, collection of receivables, reimbursement from utility and improvement districts and the payment of payables and expenses.
We regularly evaluate alternatives for managing our capital structure and liquidity profile in consideration of expected cash flows, growth and operating capital requirements and capital market conditions. We may, at any time, be considering or be in discussions with respect to the purchase or sale of our common stock, debt securities, convertible securities or a combination thereof.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from our real estate acquisition and development activities, undeveloped land sales, commercial and income producing properties, timber sales, income from oil and gas properties, recreational leases and reimbursements from utility and improvement districts are classified as operating cash flows.
In first quartersix months 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $5,009,00012,539,000. The increase in cash provided by operating activities year over year is primarily due to lower real estate development and acquisition expenditures of $14,794,000.$33,066,000 and higher undeveloped land sales activity. In first quartersix months 2015, net cash used for operating activities was $18,766,000$17,513,000 principally due to lower residential lot sales and undeveloped land sales activity and $34,769,000$57,353,000 in real estate development and acquisition expenditures exceeding $9,884,000$24,151,000 of real estate cost of sales.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Capital contributions to and capital distributions from unconsolidated ventures, costs incurred to acquire, develop and construct multifamily projects that will be held as commercial operating properties upon stabilization as investment property, business acquisitions and investment in oil and gas properties and equipment are classified as investing activities. In addition, proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, software costs and expenditures related to reforestation activities are also classified as investing activities.

In first quartersix months 2016, net cash provided by investing activities was $51,449,000309,530,000 principally a result of net sales proceeds of $56,828,000,$318,480,000 from the execution of our key initiative to opportunistically exit non-core assets, which $28,958,000 areprincipally includes $128,764,000 from sale of Radisson Hotel & Suites, $75,944,000 from sale of certain oil and gas properties, and $27,870,000 are proceeds$59,719,000 from sale of Eleven, $25,433,000 from sale of Dillon, $13,917,000 from sale of our interest in 3600, a 304-unit multifamily joint venture in Denver, and the$14,703,000 from sale of Music Row, a wholly-owned multifamily property under construction in Nashville, for $14,703,000.Row. In first quartersix months 2015, net cash used for investing activities was $24,703,000$52,449,000 principally due to investment of $23,718,000$40,286,000 in oil and gas properties and equipment associated with previously committed exploration and production operations and investment of $2,809,000 in property and equipment, software and reforestation, of which $2,357,000 was related to capital expenditures on our 413 guest room hotel in Austin, partially offset by proceeds of $2,000,000 related to sale of certain oil and gas properties in North Dakota.operations.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
In first quartersix months 2016, net cash used for financing activities was $10,254,000$311,090,000 principally due to retirement of $8,600,000$225,245,000 of our 8.5% senior secured notes, and $2,250,000$5,000,000 of our 3.75% convertible senior notes, $4,500,000 of payments related to amortizing notes assoicatedassociated with our tangible equity units.units and our payment in full of $39,336,000 loans secured by Radisson Hotel & Suites and Eleven multifamily property, which we sold in second quarter 2016. In first quartersix months 2015, net cash used for financing activities was $396,000$1,404,000 principally due to payroll taxes on share-settled equity awards and distributions to noncontrolling interests, offset by cash flows provided by net additions to debt.interests.
Real Estate Acquisition and Development Activities
We secure entitlements and develop infrastructure, primarily for single family residential and mixed-use communities.

We categorize real estate development and acquisition expenditures as operating activities on the statement of cash flows. These development and acquisition expenditures include costs for development of residential lots and mixed-use communities.
In first quartersix months 2016, real estate development and acquisition expenditures were $14,794,000$33,066,000 entirely related to real estate development costs as we made no community development site acquisitions in first quartersix months 2016.
Oil and Gas Drilling and Other Exploration and Development Activities
Our planned expenditures for 2016 are expected to be significantly lower compared with 2015 based on our plan to exit non-core oil and gas assets. In first quarter 2016, drilling and completion activity was primarily related to settling capital expenditures accrued at year-end 2015. Regional allocation of our capital expenditures for drilling and completion activities in first quarter 2016 is shown below:

Accrued capital expenditures for drilling and completion costs at first quarter-end2016 were $3,677,000 and are included in other accrued expenses. These oil and gas property additions will be reflected as cash used for investing activities in the period the accrued payables are settled.
Liquidity
At firstsecond quarter-end 2016, our senior secured credit facility provides for a $300,000,000 revolving line of credit maturing May 15, 2017 (with two one-year extension options). The revolving line of credit may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The revolving line of credit includes a $100,000,000 sublimit for letters of credit, of which $15,817,000$15,321,000 is outstanding at firstsecond quarter-end 2016. Total borrowings under our senior secured credit facility (including the face amount of letters of credit) may not exceed a borrowing base formula.
At firstsecond quarter-end 2016, net unused borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility is calculated as follows:

Our net unused borrowing capacity during firstsecond quarter 2016 ranged from a high of $284,426,000$265,521,000 to a low of $265,199,000.$216,187,000. Certain non-core assets support the borrowing base under our senior secured credit facility so we expect our borrowing capacity to be reduced as non-core assets are sold over time. This facility is used primarily to fund our operating cash needs, which fluctuate due to timing of residential and commercial real estate sales, undeveloped land sales, oil and gas leasing, exploration and production activities and mineral lease bonus payments received, timber sales, reimbursements from utility and improvement districts, payment of payables and expenses and capital expenditures.
Our debt agreements contain financial covenants customary for such agreements including minimum levels of interest coverage and limitations on leverage. On December 30, 2015, we amended our senior secured credit facility to reduce the interest coverage ratio from 2.50:1.0 to 2.25:1.0 for the quarter ending December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016. Thereafter, the interest coverage ratio returns to 2.50:1.0. At firstsecond quarter-end 2016, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of these agreements.
The following table details our compliance with the financial covenants calculated as provided in the senior credit facility:

(a) 
Calculated as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization), plus non-cash compensation expense, plus other non-cash expenses, divided by interest expense excluding loan fees. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter on a rolling four quarter basis.
(b) 
Calculated as total funded debt divided by adjusted asset value. Total funded debt includes indebtedness for borrowed funds, secured liabilities, reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit or similar instruments, and our pro-rata share of joint venture debt outstanding. Adjusted asset value is defined as the sum of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, timberlands, high value timberlands, raw entitled lands, entitled land under development, minerals business, Credo asset value, special improvement district receipts (SIDR) reimbursements value and other real estate owned at book value without regard to any indebtedness and our pro rata share of joint ventures’ book value without regard to any indebtedness. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter.
(c) 
Calculated as the amount by which consolidated total assets (excluding Credo acquisition goodwill over $50,000,000) exceeds consolidated total liabilities. At firstsecond quarter-end 2016, the requirement is $379,044,000$386,254,000 computed as: $379,044,000 plus 85 percent of the aggregate net proceeds received by us from any equity offering, plus 75 percent of all positive net income, on a cumulative basis.basis since third quarter-end 2015. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter.

Our debt agreements contain financial covenants customary for such agreements including minimum levels of interest coverage and limitations on leverage.
To make additional discretionary investments, acquisitions, or distributions, we must maintain available liquidity equal to 10 percent of the aggregate commitments in place. At firstsecond quarter-end 2016, the minimum liquidity requirement was $30,000,000, compared with $402,602,000$318,733,000 in actual available liquidity based on the unused borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility plus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. The failure to maintain such minimum liquidity does not constitute a default or event of default of our senior secured credit facility.
Discretionary investments in community development may be restricted in the event that the revenue/capital expenditure ratio is less than or equal to 1.0x. At firstsecond quarter-end2016,, the revenue/capital expenditure ratio was 2.0x. Revenue is defined as total gross revenues (excluding revenues attributed to Credo and multifamily properties), plus our pro rata share of the operating revenues from unconsolidated ventures. Capital expenditures are defined as consolidated development and acquisition expenditures (excluding investments related to Credo and multifamily properties), plus our pro rata share of unconsolidated ventures’ development and acquisition expenditures.
In addition, weWe may elect to make distributions to stockholders so long as the total leverage ratio is less than 40 percent, the interest coverage ratio is greater than 3.0:1.0 and available liquidity is not less than $125,000,000. Effective December 30, 2015,$125,000,000, all of which were satisfied at second quarter-end 2016. Regardless of whether the senior secured credit facility was amended to provide thatforegoing conditions are satisfied, we may make distributions in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000,000 to be funded from up to 65% of the net proceeds from sales of multifamily properties and non-core assets, such as the Radisson Hotel & Suites in Austin, and any oil and gas properties.
On June 21, 2016, we completed a cash tender offer for our 8.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (Notes), pursuant to which we purchased $215,495,000 principal amount (representing approximately 97.6% outstanding) of the Notes. Total consideration paid was $245,604,000, which included $29,091,000 in premium at 113.5% and $1,018,000 in accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we received consent from holders of the Notes to eliminate or modify certain covenants, events of default and other provisions contained in the indenture governing the Notes, and to release the subsidiary guarantees and collateral securing the Notes. We also purchased $1,150,000 principal amount of Notes at 99.95% of face value in open market transactions. The amendment provides ussecond quarter 2016 tender offer and open market purchases resulted in a $35,583,000 loss on extinguishment of debt, which includes the flexibilitypremium paid to repurchase stock or paythe Notes, write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $5,191,000 and $1,301,000 in other costs related to tender offer advisory services. In first quarter 2016, we purchased $8,600,000 principal amount of Notes at 99% of face value in the open market transactions, resulting in a special dividend should our Board or Directors determine that$127,000 gain on the early extinguishment of the Notes offset by the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $225,000.

We recognized a $110,000 loss on extinguishment of debt based on the difference between the fair value of the debt component prior to conversion and the carrying value of the debt component. Total loss on extinguishment of debt, including write-off of debt issuance costs allocated to the repurchased notes was $183,000.

In second quarter 2016, a secured promissory note of $15,400,000 was paid in full in connection with sale of the Radisson Hotel & Suites, a 413 guest room hotel located in Austin, for $130,000,000.

In second quarter 2016, other indebtedness decreased principally as result of selling Eleven, a 257-unit multifamily project in Austin, for $60,150,000 and paying in full the associated debt of $23,936,000.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In 2014, FMF Littleton LLC, an equity method venture in which we own a 25 percent interest, obtained a senior secured construction loan in the amount of $46,384,000 to develop a 385-unit multifamily project located in Littleton, Colorado. The outstanding balance was $26,706,000$37,328,000 at firstsecond quarter-end2016. 2016. We provided the lender with a guaranty of completion of the improvements; a guaranty for repayment of 25 percent of the principal balance and unpaid accrued interest; and a standard nonrecourse carve-out guaranty. The principal guaranty will reduce from 25 percent of principal to ten percent upon achievement of certain conditions.
In 2014, CREA FMF Nashville LLC, an equity method venture with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. (MassMutual) in which we own a 30 percent interest, obtained a senior secured construction loan in the amount of $51,950,000 to develop a 320-unit multifamily project located in Nashville, Tennessee. The outstanding balance at firstsecond quarter-end2016 was $36,832,000.$36,945,000. We provided the lender with a guaranty of completion of the improvements; a guaranty for repayment of 25 percent of the principal balance and unpaid accrued interest; and a standard nonrecourse carve-out guaranty. The principal guaranty will reduce from 25 percent of principal to zero percent upon achievement of certain conditions.


Cibolo Canyons—San Antonio, Texas
Cibolo Canyons consists of the JW Marriott ® San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa development owned by third parties and a mixed-use development we own. We have $57,887,000$56,482,000 invested in Cibolo Canyons at firstsecond quarter-end2016,, all of which is related to the mixed-use development.
Mixed-Use Development
The mixed-use development we own consists of 2,100 acres planned to include approximately 1,790 residential lots and 150 commercial acres designated for multifamily and retail uses, of which 1,072 lots and 130 commercial acres have been sold through second quarter-end 2016.
In 2007, we entered into an agreement with CCSID providing for reimbursement of certain infrastructure costs related to the mixed-use development. Reimbursements are subject to review and approval by CCSID and unreimbursed amounts accrue interest at 9.75 percent. CCSID’s funding for reimbursements is principally derived from its ad valorem tax collections and bond proceeds collateralized by ad valorem taxes, less debt service on these bonds and annual administrative and public service expenses.
Because the amount of each reimbursement is dependent on several factors, including CCSID approval and CCSID having an adequate tax base to generate funds that can be used to reimburse us, there is uncertainty as to the amount and timing of reimbursements under this agreement. We expect to recover our investment from lot and tract sales and reimbursement of approved infrastructure costs from CCSID. We have not recognized income from interest due, but not collected. As these uncertainties are clarified, we will modify our accounting accordingly.
Through second quarter-end 2016, we have submitted and were approved for reimbursement of approximately $54,376,000 of infrastructure costs, of which we have received reimbursements totaling $34,703,000. At second quarter-end 2016, we have $19,673,000 in pending reimbursements, excluding interest.
Resort Hotel, Spa and Golf Development
In 2007, we entered into agreements to facilitate third party construction and ownership of the JW Marriott ® San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa (the Resort), which includes a 1,002 room destination resort and two PGA Tour ® Tournament Players Club ® (TPC) golf courses.
In exchange for our commitment to the Resort, the third party owners assigned to us certain rights under an agreement between the third party owners and a legislatively created Cibolo Canyons Special Improvement District (CCSID). This agreement includes the right to receive from CCSID 9 percent of hotel occupancy revenues and 1.5 percent of other resort sales revenues collected as taxes by CCSID through 2034. The amount we receive will be net of annual ad valorem tax reimbursements by CCSID to the third party owners of the resort through 2020. In addition, these payments will be net of debt service on bonds issued by CCSID collateralized by hotel occupancy tax (HOT) and other resort sales tax through 2034.
The amounts we collect under this agreement are dependent on several factors including the amount of revenues generated by and ad valorem taxes imposed on the Resort and the amount of debt service incurred by CCSID.
In 2014, we received $50,550,000 from CCSID principally related to its issuance of $48,900,000 HOT and Sales and Use Tax Revenue Bonds, resulting in recovery of our full Resort investment. These bonds are obligations solely of CCSID and are payable from HOT and sales and use taxes levied on the Resort by CCSID. To facilitate the issuance of the bonds, we provided a $6,846,000 letter of credit to the bond trustee as security for certain debt service fund obligations in the event CCSID tax collections are not sufficient to support payment of the bonds in accordance with their terms. The letter of credit must be maintained until the earlier of redemption of the bonds or scheduled bond maturity in 2034. We also entered into an agreement with the owner of the Resort to assign its senior rights to us in exchange for consideration provided by us, including a surety bond to be drawn if CCSID tax collections are not sufficient to support ad valorem tax rebates payable. The surety bond has a balance of $7,850,000$6,631,000 at firstsecond quarter-end 2016. The surety bond will decrease as CCSID makes annual ad valorem tax rebate payments, which obligation is scheduled to be retired in full by 2020. All future receipts are expected to be recognized as gains in the period collected.
Mixed-Use Development
The mixed-use development we own consists of 2,100 acres planned to include approximately 1,769 residential lots and 150 commercial acres designated for multifamily and retail uses, of which 1,026 lots and 130 commercial acres have been sold through first quarter-end2016.
In 2007, we entered into an agreement with CCSID providing for reimbursement of certain infrastructure costs related to the mixed-use development. Reimbursements are subject to review and approval by CCSID and unreimbursed amounts accrue interest at 9.75 percent. CCSID’s funding for reimbursements is principally derived from its ad valorem tax collections and bond proceeds collateralized by ad valorem taxes, less debt service on these bonds and annual administrative and public service expenses.

A project is deemed to be in the entitlement process when customary steps necessary for the preparation of an application for governmental land-use approvals, like conducting pre-application meetings or similar discussions with governmental officials, have commenced, or an application has been filed. Projects listed may have significant steps remaining, and there is no assurance that entitlements ultimately will be received.
(b) 
Project acres, which are the total for the project regardless of our ownership interest, are approximate. The actual number of acres entitled may vary.

conventional, unconventional, and tight sand reservoirs. Of these reservoirs, we have mineral interests in and around production trends in the Wilcox, Frio, Cockfield, James Lime, Petet, Travis Peak, Cotton Valley, Austin Chalk, Haynesville Shale, Barnett Shale and Bossier formations.
(b) 
Sold on May 6, 2016.A significant portion of our Louisiana net mineral acres were severed from the surface estate shortly before our 2007 spin-off. Under Louisiana law, a mineral servitude that is not producing minerals or which has not been the subject of good-faith drilling operations will cease to burden the property upon the tenth anniversary of the date of its creation. Approximately 40,000 acres of our Louisiana owned net mineral acres may revert to the surface owner in 2017 unless drilling operations are commenced prior to the tenth anniversary of severance from the surface.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Our interest rate risk is principally related to our variable-rate debt. Interest rate changes impact earnings due to the resulting increase or decrease in our variable-rate debt, which was $44,414,000$2,003,000 at firstsecond quarter-end 2016.
The following table illustrates the estimated effect on our pre-tax income of immediate, parallel, and sustained shifts in interest rates for the next 12 months on our variable-rate debt at firstsecond quarter-end 2016. This estimate assumes that debt reductions from contractual payments will be replaced with short-term, variable-rate debt; however, that may not be the financing alternative we choose.

Foreign Currency Risk
We have no exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.
Commodity Price Risk
We have no significant exposure to commodity price fluctuations fromas it relates to our oil and gas production which can materially affect ourroyalty revenues, lease bonus and cash flows. The prices we receive for our production depend on numerous factors beyond our control. Based on our first quarter 2016 production, a 10 percentflows from owned mineral resource activities . However, significant decrease in our average realized oil and gas prices wouldcommodity pricing may have reduced our oil and gas production revenues by $527,000. To manage our exposure to commodity price risks associated with the sale of oil and gas, we may periodically enter into derivative hedging transactions for a portionan impact on future leasing activities of our estimated production. We doowned mineral interests and therefore the carrying value of our owned mineral resources may not have any commodity derivative positions outstanding at first quarter-end2016.be recoverable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or the Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved directly or through ventures in various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business. We believe we have established adequate reserves for any probable losses and that the outcome of any of the proceedings should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, long-term results of operations or cash flows. It is possible, however, that circumstances beyond our control or significant subsequent developments could result in additional charges related to these matters that could be significant to results of operations or cash flow in any single accounting period.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
There are no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
