INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To CL Realty, L.L.C.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of CL Realty, L.L.C. (a limited liability company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 2011 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

CL REALTY, L.L.C.
(A Limited Liability Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010 AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011, 2010 AND 2009
1. | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Organization — CL Realty, L.L.C. (referred to as “we”, “us” and “our”) is a limited liability company formed for the purpose of acquiring, developing, and selling real estate for residential communities. Cousins Real Estate Corporation (“CREC”) and Forestar (USA) Real Estate Group, Inc. (“Forestar,” collectively the “Members”) each have a 50% general interest in the company. Pursuant to the limited liability agreement (the “Agreement”), the Members make capital contributions to us and receive distributions from us as mutually agreed upon in accordance with each Member’s respective percentage interest. We will exist until December 31, 2052, or such prior time that we are dissolved in accordance with the Agreement. At December 31, 2011, we owned interests in 14 residential and mixed-use projects, of which 13 of these investments were classified as held for sale at year-end 2011.
We expect to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our operating activities. Should we be unable to fund our operations, the Members have represented that they will provide financial support to fund the liquidity needs during 2012.
Basis of Presentation — The financial statements consolidate our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
We follow the guidelines in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810,Consolidation, for determining the appropriate consolidation treatment of non-wholly owned entities. We adopted new guidelines effective January 1, 2010, which modify how a company determines that an entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and when that entity is consolidated. These new guidelines had no effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. We had no interests in VIEs at December 31, 2011, 2010 or 2009. A description of our investments accounted for under the equity method is included in Note 5.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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. For example, 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.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Real Estate — We carry real estate at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. We generally capitalize interest costs and property taxes once development begins, and we continue to capitalize throughout the development period. We also capitalize infrastructure, improvements, amenities, and other development costs incurred during the development period. We determine the cost of real estate sold using the relative sales value method. When we sell real estate from projects that are not finished, we include in the cost of real estate sold estimates of future development costs through completion, allocated based on relative sales values. These estimates of future development costs are reevaluated at least annually, with any adjustments being allocated prospectively to the remaining units available for sale.
- 6 -
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — We review long-lived assets held for use, principally real estate, for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment exists if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposition. We determine the amount of the impairment charge by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived asset to its estimated fair value. In the absence of quoted market prices, we determine estimated fair value generally based on a discounted cash flow analysis expected from the sale of the long-lived asset.
In 2011, our loss includes non-cash impairment charges of $1,300,000 related to Stillwater Canyon, $760,000 related to River Plantation and $435,000 related to Creekside Preserve. In addition, as a result of entering into an agreement to sell certain assets in 2012, we recorded additional non-cash impairment charges of $19,465,000. Please read Note 9 for additional information.
We recorded non-cash impairment charges of $4,000,000 and $458,000 on the Padre Island and the Creekside Preserve projects, respectively, in 2010. We recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1,700,000 on Creekside Preserve and $1,600,000 on River Plantation in 2009.
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures — Management performs an impairment analysis of its investments in joint ventures in accordance with accounting standards. In accordance with those standards, at each reporting period, management reviews its investments in joint ventures for indicators of impairment. If indicators of impairment are present for any of our investments in joint ventures, management is required to calculate the fair value of the investment. If the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, management must determine whether the impairment is temporary or other than temporary. If management assesses the impairment as temporary, we do not record an impairment charge. If management concludes that the impairment is other than temporary, we record an impairment charge equal to the difference between the fair value of the investment and its carrying value.
In 2011, our loss includes $3,790,000 in non-cash impairment charges associated with our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures principally due to entering into an agreement to sell these investments in 2012. Please read Note 9 for additional information. We did not record any impairment charges on our investments in joint ventures in 2010. In 2009, we determined that the fair value of our investment in CL Chatham, LLC was zero and recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $5,238,000.
Income Taxes — We have elected to be treated as a partnership for income tax purposes, and taxable income or loss is reported in the income tax returns of the Members. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes.
Real Estate Revenues — We recognize revenue from sales of real estate when a sale is consummated, the buyer’s initial investment is adequate, any receivables are probable of collection, the usual risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, and we do not have significant continuing involvement with the real estate sold. If we determine that the earnings process is not complete, we defer recognition of any gain until earned.
Reclassifications — Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year amounts in order to conform to current year presentation.
Mineral Resource Revenues— Certain of our projects are located in areas that are rich in natural resources, and we maintain two oil and gas exploration agreements related to mineral rights at our Summer Creek Ranch development. In 2011, 2010 and 2009, in accordance with the leases, we recorded mineral resource revenues, principally consisting of royalty payments, of about $3,764,000, $4,795,000 and $627,000, respectively.
- 7 -
Real Estate Cost of Sales — Residential lot and land tract cost of sales is generally determined as a calculated value for each lot and land tract sold. The values used are based on actual costs incurred and estimates of development costs and sales revenues at completion of each project. The values are reviewed regularly and revised periodically for changes in estimates or development plans. Significant changes in these estimates or development plans, whether due to changes in market conditions or other factors, could result in changes to the cost ratio used for a specific project.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Financial instruments for which we did not elect the fair value option include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivables, other current assets, long-term 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.
Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis principally include real estate assets and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures which are measured for impairment. In 2011 and 2010, certain assets were remeasured and reported at fair value due to events or circumstances that indicated the carrying value may not be recoverable. We determined estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis expected from the sale of the assets. As a result, based on level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy which include significant unobservable inputs, we recognized non-cash impairments charges of $25,750,000 in 2011 and $4,458,000 in 2010. The carrying value of these assets subsequent to recording the non-cash impairment charges was $42,504,000 and $10,400,000 at year-end 2011 and 2010.
As a result of negotiating and committing in fourth quarter 2011 to a plan to sell certain assets, we entered into an agreement subsequent to year-end 2011 to sell these assets in first quarter 2012. As a result, we classified these assets as held for sale at year-end 2011. The asset group to be sold represents ten residential and mixed use projects, three investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and various other assets with a combined carrying value of about $43,467,000 and associated liabilities with a carrying value of $1,996,000. Please read Note 9 for additional information. The carrying value of the assets held for sale at year-end 2011 follows:

8. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
We may be party to various claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. There are currently no matters outstanding that, in the opinion of management, will have a material adverse effect on our accompanying consolidated financial statements.

On February 20, 2012, we, as applicable, and Cousins Real Estate Corporation, entered into a definitive agreement with Forestar to sell our entire interest in 13 residential and mixed-use real estate projects for an aggregate cash purchase price of $41,471,000. Because we classified these assets as held for sale at year-end 2011, accounting pronouncements require us to carry the assets to be sold at their estimated fair values, which represent the agreed upon sales prices. Accordingly, our 2011 year-end operating results include $23,255,000 of additional non-cash impairment charges related to entering into this agreement.
In preparing the accompanying financial statements, we have reviewed events that have occurred after year-end 2011 through the date of issuance of these financial statements, March 7, 2012.
