Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Deltic Timber Corporation (the “Company” or “Deltic”). Certain information and accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although management of the Company believes the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management believes the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals and adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to present fairly its financial position as of June 30, 2011, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. These consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Financial Accounting Standards update No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” became effective January 1, 2011, for the Company as to disclosures about changes in Level 3 Fair Value measurements. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Financial Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” was effective January 1, 2011, for the Company and provides new guidance for revenue recognition for certain arrangements. The impact of the adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Financial Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (Topic 820)” becomes effective January 1, 2012, for the Company. The new guidance will result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS standards. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on reporting requirements.
Financial Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” becomes effective January 1, 2012, for the Company and is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in the financial statements. The adoption of this guidance will have little impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 – Investment in Del-Tin Fiber
The Company owns 50 percent of the membership of Del-Tin Fiber LLC (“Del-Tin Fiber”), which operates a medium density fiberboard (“MDF”) plant near El Dorado, Arkansas. The Company’s membership in Del-Tin Fiber is discussed in more detail in Note 4 – Investment in Del-Tin Fiber, in the Company’s 2010 annual report on Form 10-K.
On August 26, 2004, the Company executed a guarantee agreement in connection with the refinancing of the debt of Del-Tin Fiber, which included both a five-year term loan and a long-term bond obligation. In connection with the bond obligation, Del-Tin Fiber obtained a letter of credit in support of the bond obligation and both Deltic and the other joint venture partner agreed to guarantee Del-Tin Fiber’s performance under the letter of credit at inception. The Company’s guarantee under the letter of credit was scheduled to expire on August 31, 2011, but on July 21, 2011, it was renewed and now will expire on August 31, 2016. In connection with the issuance of Deltic’s original guarantee of the letter of credit, the fair value of the guarantee of the bonds was determined to be de minimus. In reviewing the payment/performance risk associated with this guarantee, Deltic continues to consider the risk minimal based on Del-Tin Fiber’s balance sheet, past performance, and length of time remaining on the guarantee.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 4 – Investment in Del-Tin Fiber (cont.)
At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Company’s share of the underlying net assets of Del-Tin Fiber exceeded its investment by $15,343,000 and $15,730,000, respectively. The difference relates primarily to the Company’s write-off of its carrying amount for its investment in Del-Tin Fiber as of December 31, 2002, which was not recorded by Del-Tin Fiber. The equity in earnings of Del-Tin Fiber recognized by the Company exceeds its ownership percentage of Del-Tin Fiber’s earnings because the difference in basis between the Company and Del-Tin Fiber is being adjusted to account for Del-Tin Fiber’s operating results as if it were a consolidated subsidiary.
The financial position for Del-Tin Fiber as of the balance sheet dates and results of operations consisted of the following:

Note 14 – Fair Value Measurement
Fair Value Measurement Accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, with level 1 being the highest quality and level 3 being the lowest quality. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets on identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect assumptions about pricing by market participants.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Nonqualified employee savings plan: Consists of mutual funds, which are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the plan at the balance sheet date, at quoted market prices.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Executive Overview
The Company reported net income of $2 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $5.5 million for the same period of 2010. The decrease from the prior year was mainly due to reduced financial results for the Mills segment, which reported a loss of $.8 million during the current period, a $7 million decrease from the second quarter of 2010’s earnings of $6.2 million. The average sales price for lumber dropped $100 per thousand board feet (“MBF”) from the second quarter of 2010, as the prior-year quarter’s prices benefitted from supply-side disruptions caused by abnormally wet weather conditions. The Woodlands segment, Deltic’s core operation, reported operating income of $5.6 million, a decrease of $.8 million from the $6.4 million reported a year ago. This was primarily caused by a lower per-ton sales price for pine sawtimber, pine pulpwood, and hardwood pulpwood harvested. The Real Estate segment had operating income of $1.7 million, an increase of $2.2 million from 2010’s second quarter loss of $.5 million. The increase was due primarily to the sale of a 26-acre commercial site and to an increase in the number of residential lots sold in the current-year quarter. The Corporate segment’s general and administrative expenses were $1.3 million lower during the current-year quarter than in the same period a year ago, mainly due to lower employee incentive plan expenses. Deltic owns a 50 percent interest in Del-Tin Fiber LLC (“Del-Tin Fiber”) and recorded equity income of $.4 million for the second quarter of 2011, a $1.8 million decrease from the same period of 2010. The decrease was due to lower sales volumes and a lower per-unit sales price, as the second quarter of 2010 benefitted from an interruption in the supply of MDF moldings from Chile, which experienced an earthquake in February of 2010.
The majority of Deltic’s operations are within the commodity-based wood and wood products sector. In addition, the Company has a significant diversification in real estate development on a portion of its landholdings. The Company’s operating environments are affected by a number of factors including general economic conditions, employment levels, interest rates, credit availability and associated costs, imports, foreign exchange rates, housing starts, new and existing home inventories, residential and commercial real estate foreclosures, residential repair and remodeling, commercial construction, industry capacity and production levels, the availability of raw materials, and weather conditions. Financial uncertainties continue to have a negative effect on the U.S. and world economies, as well as markets in which the Company operates. These uncertainties combined with high unemployment, stricter credit criteria, above-average levels of pre-owned home inventory, and the potential for higher inflation have caused housing starts to languish below historical averages. The weak residential real estate market continues to have a negative impact on Deltic’s core business segments. Because of the Company’s relative size and the nature of most commodity markets, it has little or no control over pricing or demand levels for its lumber products. Nevertheless, the Company will look for ways to improve operating efficiencies, control manufacturing costs, and manage production levels to meet market demand, as well as continue to seek ways to reduce other costs.
For the second quarter of 2011, the pine sawtimber harvest was essentially unchanged at 169,199 tons, when compared to the 2010 second quarter harvest of 169,290 tons. The average per-ton sales price decreased 14 percent, to $24 per ton, from the 2010 second quarter per-ton price of $28. The pine pulpwood harvest of 101,922 tons was an increase of 5,827 tons from the harvest in the second quarter of 2010. But, the average sales price received for pine pulpwood sold decreased $5 per ton when compared to 2010’s sales price of $13 per ton, as the wet weather conditions that existed in the second quarter of 2010 disrupted pulpwood supply. The Company sold approximately 794 acres of recreational-use hardwood bottomland at an average sales price of $1,474 per acre during the second quarter of 2011 compared to sales of 520 acres at an average price of $2,085 per acre for the same period of 2010. Hunting lease income was $.5 million for the second quarters of both 2011 and 2010.
Deltic’s Woodlands segment also receives revenues from mineral lease rentals and mineral royalty payments, which are primarily from the Fayetteville Shale Play. In the second quarter of 2011, lease rental income was $.7 million, an increase of $.2 million from the same period of 2010, due primarily to acreage leased in southern Arkansas and north Louisiana late in the fourth quarter of 2010. Oil and gas royalty payments were $1.1 million in the second quarters of both 2011 and 2010. The ultimate benefit to Deltic from mineral leases remains speculative and unknown and is contingent on the level of natural gas and crude oil prices and the successful extraction from wells drilled on Company lands.
19
The average lumber sales price in the second quarter of 2011 was $245 per thousand board feet, a $100 per thousand board feet, or 29 percent, lower price when compared to the same period in 2010. In the second quarter of 2010, the Mills segment benefitted from a lumber supply shortage that began in early 2010. The Company capitalized on the higher lumber prices during that timeframe, which was the primary reason for the year-over-year decrease in the average per-unit sales price. The Mills segment sold 64.9 million board feet in the second quarter of 2011, a decrease of 4.9 million board feet when compared to 69.8 million board feet sold in the second quarter a year ago, as the Company reduced operating hours to reduce lumber production to match demand. These decreases were partially offset by lower raw material log costs and higher hourly productivity rates. However, as with any commodity market, the Company expects the historical lumber market volatility to continue in the future. Deltic plans to continue adjusting production levels to meet market demand.
The Real Estate segment closed 11 residential lot sales during the second quarter of 2011 with an average per-lot sales price of $65,500 compared to sales of four lots with an average per-lot sales price of $48,200 in 2010’s second quarter. The change in the per-lot sales price was due to the mix of lots sold. During the second quarter of 2011, there was a commercial real estate sale of 26 acres with an average sales price of $101,000 per acre to be used for construction of a multifamily development, compared to no commercial acreage sales in the second quarter of 2010. Commercial real estate acreage within Chenal Valley continue to receive interest, especially property located near “The Promenade at Chenal,” an upscale shopping center, and a new lifestyle medical center currently under construction. However, due to the unpredictable nature of commercial real estate sales activity, the Company cannot predict the timing of closing of any commercial real estate transaction.
Operating results for Del-Tin Fiber are affected by the overall medium density fiberboard (“MDF”) market and the plant’s operating performance. Equity in earnings of Del-Tin Fiber of $.4 million during the second quarter of 2011 was a decrease of $1.8 million from the second quarter of 2010. This decrease was due to a lower sales volume and per-unit price for MDF sold during the quarter. During 2010, there was an interruption in the supply of molding imported into the U.S. from Chile, which was caused by an earthquake there in February of 2010. Del-Tin Fiber was temporarily able to fill some of the demand as building supply retailers turned to U.S. manufacturers of MDF moldings to fill their inventory requirements. Regarding the Company’s equity position in Del-Tin Fiber, Deltic continues to reduce depreciation expense related to the add-back per thousand square feet manufactured, which relates to the impairment taken by the Company in 2002 that was not recoded at the Del-Tin Fiber level. The difference in basis between the Company and Del-Tin Fiber is being adjusted to account for Del-Tin Fiber’s operating results as if it were a consolidated subsidiary. (For further discussion, refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.)

Consolidated
The $3.5 million reduction in net income was primarily due to decreased financial results for the Woodlands and Mills segments and a lower amount of equity in earnings from Del-Tin Fiber, partially offset by improved operating results for the Real Estate segment and lower Corporate general and administrative expenses.
Operating income decreased $3.7 million. The Woodlands segment’s operating income was $.8 million less than the prior year mainly due to lower prices received for pine sawtimber and for both pine and hardwood pulpwood. The Mills segment’s operating results were $7 million lower due primarily to a $100, or 29 percent, decrease in the average sales price per MBF of lumber sold, combined with a seven percent decrease in lumber sales volume. The Real Estate segment’s results increased $2.2 million due to the sale of a 26-acre commercial multifamily site and an increase in the number of residential lots sold. Corporate expense decreased $1.3 million due to lower general and administrative expenses, primarily employee incentive plan expenses.

Net sales decreased $1 million in the second quarter of 2011 when compared to the 2010 second quarter. Sales of pine sawtimber decreased $.6 million due to a lower average sales price of $24 per ton, which was 14 percent less than the $28 per ton received in the second quarter of 2010. Sales of pine pulpwood decreased $.4 million due to a 38 percent decrease in the average per-ton sales price, partially offset by an increase in volume of six percent resulting from improved logging conditions. Revenues from hardwood pulpwood were down $.3 million due to a 60 percent lower average per-ton sales price, which was partially offset by a higher harvest volume resulting from improved logging conditions. Revenues from easements and rights-of-way were $.2 million lower in 2011 versus 2010. Oil and gas lease rentals increased $.2 million when compared to the same period of 2010. Revenues from hauling stumpage to other mills increased $.4 million from the second quarter of 2010. Operating income was $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2010. This was mainly due to the same factors that decreased current period net sales, but was partially offset by lower road maintenance costs on fee timberlands and lower cost of fee timber harvested, while the cost for hauling stumpage to other mills offset the hauling revenues.

Net sales for the second quarter 2011 increased $3 million from the second quarter 2010 due to an increase in the number of residential lots sold and the sale of 26 acres of commercial real estate for a multifamily site. The current-year income from operations was $2.2 million more than 2010 due to the same factors affecting net sales.
Corporate
The $1.3 million decrease in period-over-period operating expense for Corporate functions was due primarily to lower general and administrative expenses, mainly employee incentive plan expenses.
23
Eliminations
Intersegment sales of timber from Deltic’s Woodlands to the Mills segment decreased $.6 million, to $4.2 million. The decrease was due to a lower transfer price from the Woodlands segment’s fee timberlands. Transfer prices are approximately that of market which were higher in the same quarter last year.
Equity in Del-Tin Fiber
For the second quarter of 2011, Deltic’s equity in earnings of Del-Tin Fiber was $.4 million compared to $2.2 million for the same period of 2010. The $1.8 million decrease in the second quarter of 2011 when compared to 2010 was due to a lower average sales price per thousand square feet (“MSF”), and reduced sales volume. Additional selected financial and statistical data for Del-Tin Fiber is shown in the following table.
| | | | | | | | |
| | Quarter Ended June 30, | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | |

Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 32 percent for 2011 and 35 percent for 2010. The effective tax rate for 2011 was impacted more by permanent tax benefits than in 2010. The amount of permanent tax benefits have remained approximately the same year-over-year, but due to a reduced level of taxable income in 2011, the effects were greater on the effective tax rate.

The $5.7 million decrease in net income is primarily due to reduced financial results for the Woodlands and Mills segments, combined with lower equity in earnings from Del-Tin Fiber, partially offset by improved operating results for the Real Estate segment and lower Corporate general and administrative expenses.
Operating income decreased $6.8 million from 2010. The Woodlands segment decreased $1.2 million mainly due to decreased revenues from pine sawtimber and both pine and hardwood pulpwood sales, partially offset by increased oil and gas lease rental income and decreased maintenance expense for roads on the Company’s fee timberlands. The Mills segment decreased $8.8 million due to a lower average lumber sales price and reduced sales volume. The Real Estate segment’s operating income increased $2.1 million due to a sale of commercial real estate acreage and to increased sales of residential lots. Corporate expenses decreased $.8 million mainly due to lower general and administrative expenses.

Net sales were the same for both 2011 and 2010. Sales of pine sawtimber decreased $.6 million due primarily to a lower average sales price of $25 per ton, which was seven percent lower than 2010’s average of $27 per ton. Sales of pine pulpwood decreased $.6 million due to a 43 percent lower average per-ton sales price of $8. Meanwhile, revenues from hardwood pulpwood were $.3 million less than in 2010. These decreases in net revenues were offset by increases in revenues from hauling fee stumpage to other mills and oil and gas lease rental income. The decrease in operating income was due to an increase in costs for hauling fee stumpage to other mills and was partially offset by a decrease in fee timberland road maintenance on Deltic’s fee timberland.

Net sales increased $2.4 million due to the increase in the number of residential lots sold and to the sale of a 26-acre multifamily commercial site. The increase in the Real Estate segment’s operating income was due mainly to the same factors affecting net sales.
Corporate
Operating expenses for Corporate functions were $.8 million lower due to decreased general and administrative expenses, primarily employee incentive plan expenses, partially offset by increased professional fees.
Eliminations
Intersegment sales of timber from Deltic’s Woodlands to the Mills segment decreased $.7 million to $8.1 million. The decrease was mainly due to a lower transfer price for logs coming into Company sawmills from fee timberlands. Logs supplied by the Woodlands segment to Company sawmills are transferred at prices that approximate market.
Equity in Del-Tin Fiber
For the first six months of 2011, equity in earnings of Del-Tin Fiber was $.9 million, a decrease of $1.8 million compared to 2010 due mainly to lower sales volume along with a lower average per-unit sales price. Additional selected financial and statistical data for Del-Tin Fiber is shown in the following table.

Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 32 percent for the first six months ended June 30, 2011, and 34 percent for the same period of 2010. Permanent tax benefits impacted the effective tax rate more in 2011 than in the prior year. The amount of permanent tax benefits have remained approximately the same year-over-year, but due to a reduced level of taxable income in 2011, the effects were greater on the effective tax rate.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $8.3 million for the first six months of 2011 compared to $14 million for the same period of 2010. Changes in operating working capital, other than cash and cash equivalents required cash of $1 million in 2011 and provided cash of $1.7 million in 2010. The Company’s accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows identifies other differences between net income and cash provided by operating activities for each reporting period.
Capital expenditures required cash of $5.6 million in the current-year period and $6.1 million a year ago. Capital expenditures by segment consisted of the following:

The net change in purchased stumpage inventory to be utilized in the Company’s sawmilling operations required cash of $1 million in 2011 and $.3 million in 2010. Deltic advanced $1 million to Del-Tin Fiber, and received repayments of $2.3 million in 2011. This compares to advances of $.7 million and repayments of $3 million from Del-Tin Fiber in 2010. Funds held by trustees to be used for acquisitions of timberland designated as “replacement property” for income tax purposes, as required for tax-deferred exchanges, increased $.6 million in 2011, while decreasing $3.1 million in 2010. The Company borrowed $7.5 million and repaid $9.6 million of debt in 2011 and had net repayments of debt of $12.6 million in 2010. The Company incurred $1.1 million in fees to facilitate an amendment and extension of its unsecured and committed revolving credit facility in 2011, while there were no such costs in 2010. Dividends of $1.9 million were paid in 2011 and 2010. Proceeds from exercises of stock options and the related tax benefits were $2.1 million in 2011 and $.2 million in 2010.
Financial Condition
Working capital totaled $3.3 million at June 30, 2011, and $2.5 million at December 31, 2010. Deltic’s working capital ratio at June 30, 2011 was 1.22 to 1, compared to 1.16 to 1 at the end of 2010. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter of 2011, $3.8 million, was unchanged from December 31, 2010. Deltic’s long-term debt to stockholders’ equity ratio was .273 to 1 at June 30, 2011 and .285 to 1 at December 31, 2010.
Liquidity
The primary sources of the Company’s liquidity are internally generated funds, access to outside financing, and working capital. The Company’s current strategy for growth continues to emphasize its timberland acquisition program, in addition to expanding lumber production as market conditions allow and developing residential and/or commercial properties at Chenal Valley and Red Oak Ridge.
28
To facilitate these growth plans, the Company has an agreement with a group of banks, which provides an unsecured and committed revolving credit facility totaling $297.5 million, inclusive of a $50 million letter of credit feature. In addition, the agreement includes an option to request an increase in the aggregate revolving commitments by $50 million. The agreement will expire on September 9, 2015. As of June 30, 2011, $274.5 million was available. The credit agreement contains restrictive covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of debt and requirements to maintain certain financial ratios. (For additional information about the Company’s current financing arrangements, refer to Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements and Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2010 annual report on Form 10-K.)
The table below sets forth the covenants in the credit facility and status with respect to these covenants as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Covenants Requirements | | | Actual Ratios at June 30, 2011 | | | Actual Ratios at Dec. 31, 2010 | |
Leverage ratio should be less than:1 | | | .65 to 1 | | | | .256 to 1 | | | | .263 to 1 | |
Total outstanding debt as a percentage of total debt allowed based on the minimum timber market value.2 | | | n/a | | | | 32.96% | | | | 33.57% | |
| 1 | The leverage ratio is calculated as total debt divided by total capital. Total debt includes indebtedness for borrowed money, secured liabilities, obligations in respect of letters of credit, and guarantees. Total capital is the sum of total debt and net worth. Net worth is calculated as total assets minus total liabilities, as reflected on the balance sheet. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter. |
| 2 | Timber market value must be greater than 175 percent of total debt (as defined in (1) above.) The timber market value is calculated by multiplying the average price received for sales of timber for the preceding four quarters by the current quarter’s ending inventory of timber. This covenant is applied at the end of the quarter on a rolling four-quarter basis. |
Based on management’s current operating projections, the Company believes it will remain in compliance with the debt covenants and have sufficient liquidity to finance operations and pay all obligations. However, depending on market conditions and the possibility of the return of economic deterioration, the Company could request amendments, or waivers for the covenants, or obtain refinancing in future periods. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain amendments or waivers, or negotiate agreeable refinancing terms should it become needed.
In December 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $10 million of Deltic common stock. In December 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors expanded the program by $25 million. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had expended $14.6 million under this program, with the purchase of 370,530 shares at an average cost of $39.28 per share; no shares have been purchased in 2011 or 2010, 35,571 shares were purchased in 2009, 129,996 shares were purchased in 2008, 101,914 shares were purchased under this program in 2007, and seven shares in 2006. In its two previous repurchase programs, Deltic purchased 479,601 shares at an average cost of $20.89 and 419,542 shares at a $24.68 per share average cost, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations, and Commitments
On August 26, 2004, Del-Tin Fiber refinanced its existing long-term debt by entering into a credit agreement consisting of a letter of credit and term loan with multiple lending institutions. The funds provided from this credit agreement were used, together with the existing balance in Del-Tin Fiber’s debt service reserve and bond sinking fund accounts, to redeem $60 million of its $89 million industrial
29
revenue bonds. Under the new credit agreement, the lenders, on September 1, 2004, issued on Del-Tin Fiber’s behalf, a letter of credit in the amount of $29.7 million to support the remaining industrial revenue bonds originally issued in 1998 by Union County, Arkansas. Concurrent with this event, on August 26, 2004, Deltic executed a guarantee agreement in connection with the refinancing of the debt of Del-Tin Fiber. Under Deltic’s guarantee agreement, Deltic unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual payment of 50 percent ($14.8 million at June 30, 2011) of Del-Tin Fiber’s obligation under its credit agreement. Deltic considers the current status of the payment/performance risk of this guarantee to be low based on history and the length of time remaining on the guarantee. On July 21, 2011, this guarantee was renewed and extended until August 31, 2016.
The Company has both funded and unfunded noncontributory defined benefit retirement plans that cover the majority of its employees. The plans provide defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary. Deltic also has other postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all of its employees. The health care plan is contributory with participants’ contributions adjusted as needed; the life insurance plan is noncontributory. With regards to all of the Company’s employee and retiree benefit plans, Deltic is unaware of any trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the Company’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. (For information about material assumptions underlying the accounting for these plans and other components of the plans, refer to Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2010 annual report on Form 10-K.)

Outlook
Deltic’s management believes that cash provided from its operations and the remaining amount available under its credit facility will be sufficient to meet its expected cash needs and planned expenditures, including those of the Company’s continued timberland acquisition, real estate development, and stock repurchase programs, additional advances to Del-Tin Fiber, and capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company has disclosed its critical accounting policies in its 2010 annual report on Form 10-K, and this disclosure should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q.
Impact of Recently Effective Accounting Pronouncements
(For information regarding the impact of recently effective accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.)
Outlook
Pine sawtimber harvest levels are expected to be 165,000 to 175,000 tons in the third quarter of 2011 and 550,000 to 600,000 tons for the year. Finished lumber sales volume will continue to be subject to market conditions, and is estimated at 65 to 75 million board feet for the third quarter and 240 to 280 million board feet for the year. Residential lot sales are projected to be four to eight lots and 20 to 30 lots for the third quarter and the year, respectively.
