BUSINESS SEGMENT DATA (continued)
Identifiable assets by industry are those assets that are used in the Company’s operations in each industry. General corporate assets and assets
used in the Company’s other operations consist primarily of cash, investment securities, and property, plant, and equipment.
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is designed to be read in conjunction with the financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the last annual report on Form 10-K.
OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
The Company is primarily engaged in real estate land sales and development, reinvestment of land sales proceeds into income properties, and golf course operations. The Company lands are well located in the growing central Florida Interstate 4 corridor, providing an excellent opportunity for reasonably stable land sales in the near-term future and following years.
With its substantial land holdings in Daytona Beach, the Company has parcels available for the entire spectrum of real estate uses. Along with land sales, the Company selectively develops parcels primarily for commercial uses. Sales and development activity on and around Company owned lands have been strong in the last five years. Although pricing levels and changes by the Company and its immediate competitors can affect sales, the Company generally enjoys a competitive edge due to low costs associated with long-time land ownership and a significant ownership position in the immediate market.
Over the last five years the Company has had a trend of strong sales and development activities, primarily within the Company’s western Daytona Beach area core land holdings. These activities include the sale of 120 acres of land to Florida Hospital in 2005 for the construction of a new facility, which commenced in 2006, the expansion of the Daytona Beach Auto Mall, the opening of a second office building in the Cornerstone Office Park, the continued development within the 250-acre Gateway Commerce Park, and the sale of approximately 100 acres of land on which a private high school is under development. During the first quarter of 2007, development began on the future site of the City of Daytona Beach police station on a parcel sold by the Company, to the City of Daytona Beach in 2006, at a bargain sales price, for which the Company received a charitable contribution deduction. The site is located adjacent to Gateway Commerce Park. Residential development has also been strong on lands sold by the Company in prior years, including within the LPGA International community, and on other lands both east and west of Interstate 95. These development activities tend to create additional buyer interest and sales opportunities. While most national homebuilders have experienced significant reductions in new sales contracts from the peak in mid to late 2005, the Daytona Beach real estate market continues to be relatively stable.
In 2000, the Company initiated a strategy of investing in income properties utilizing the proceeds of agricultural land sales qualifying for income tax deferral through like-kind exchange treatment for tax purposes. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had invested approximately $110 million in twenty-five income properties through this process, with an additional $1.9 million held by a qualified intermediary and an additional $8.5 million which was generated through Internal Revenue Code Section 1033, Involuntary Conversion Under Threat of Condemnation, held in investment securities, for investment in additional properties. With this investment base, lease revenue of approximately $8.5 million is expected to be generated annually. This income, along with income from additional net-lease income property investments, is expected to decrease earnings volatility in future years and add to overall financial performance. The Company is now in a position to consider other forms of real estate investment to diversify and enhance potential returns.
Golf operations consist of the operation of the golf courses, a clubhouse facility, and food and beverage activities within the LPGA International mixed-use residential community on the west side of Interstate 95, south and east of LPGA Boulevard.
The Company’s agricultural operations consist of growing, managing, and sale of timber and hay products on approximately 11,100 acres of Company lands on the west side of Daytona Beach, Florida.

SUMMARY OF 2007 OPERATING RESULTS
A net loss of $583,812, equivalent to $.10 per share, was recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This loss compares to profits of $2,128,432, equivalent to $.37 per share, generated in 2006’s first quarter. The downturn in profitability was substantially attributable to lower land sales profits, higher general and administrative expenses, primarily on increased stock option expense, and increased losses from golf operations. These lower earnings were partially offset by increased profits from income properties. The first quarter of 2006 has been adjusted to reflect the quarterly impact of the adjustment made under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”), in the fourth quarter of 2006. The adjustment was considered immaterial for each of the quarters of 2006.
The Company also uses Earnings before Depreciation, Amortization, and Deferred Taxes (EBDDT) as a performance measure. The Company’s strategy of investing in income properties through the deferred tax like-kind exchange process produces significant amounts of depreciation and deferred taxes.
The following is the calculation of EBDDT:
Three Months Ended | |||||||
March 31, | March 31, | ||||||
2007 | 2006 | ||||||
Net Income | $ | (583,812 | ) | $ | 2,128,432 | ||
Add Back: | |||||||
Depreciation and Amortization | 609,793 | 510,947 | |||||
Deferred Taxes | 307,229 | 1,179,210 | |||||
Earnings before Depreciation, | |||||||
Amortization and Deferred Taxes | $ | 333,210 | $ | 3,818,589 |
EBDDT is calculated by adding depreciation, amortization, and deferred income tax to net income as they represent non-cash charges. EBDDT is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Further, EBDDT is not necessarily indicative of cash availability to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. The Company believes, however, that EBDDT provides relevant information about operations and is useful, along with net income, for an understanding of the Company’s operating results.
EBDDT totaled $333,210 for the first quarter of 2007, and represented a significant decline from 2006’s first quarter EBDDT amounting to $3,818,589. The decrease in EBDDT was in conjunction with the lower earnings for the period. Additionally, the add back for deferred taxes was lower as gains deferred through the like-kind exchange process decreased during the first quarter of 2007, when compared to the same period of the prior year.
REAL ESTATE SALES
During the first quarter of 2007, the sale of 83 acres of land, including a charitable contribution of 25 acres valued at $1,500,000, produced revenues and profits from land sales totaling $4,676,566 and $909,550, respectively. Also included in sales during the period was the sale of approximately $1,900,000 of impact fee credits. Costs and expenses rose substantially during the period with the higher cost basis associated with both the charitable contribution and the impact fee credits. Profits of $3,894,224 were realized on the sale of 25 acres of property, which generated revenues of $4,611,857 during 2006’s first quarter. Also included in first quarter 2006 results was the recognition of profits totaling $1,720,735, which had previously been deferred in 2005 due to post-closing obligations related to prior land sales.
INCOME PROPERTIES
Revenues from income properties of $2,160,785 were recorded in the first three-month period of 2007 and represented a 15% increase over 2006’s revenues amounting to $1,879,693. The revenue gain resulted in an 11% rise in profits from income properties for the first quarter of 2007 compared to 2006’s same period. Profits from income properties were $1,735,569 and $1,557,607 for the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively. These favorable results were achieved with the addition of two properties in June 2006. Income properties costs and expenses rose 32% during 2007 compared to the prior year primarily due to additional depreciation associated with the properties acquired.
13
GOLF OPERATIONS
Revenues from golf operations, totaling $1,566,207 during the first quarter of 2007, represented a 4% increase when compared to 2006’s same period. Both golf and food and beverage activities contributed to the revenue gain. During the period, the number of golf rounds played increased 9%, but was offset by a 9% decline in the average rate per round played. Revenues amounting to $1,509,664 were recorded in the first quarter of 2006. More than offsetting the revenue gain was a 12% rise in golf costs and expenses during the period. This increase was primarily associated with higher payroll and repair and maintenance costs. Losses from golf operations nearly doubled in the first quarter of 2007 when compared to 2006’s first quarter results with losses of $291,006 and $145,688, respectively.
Results from the first quarter of 2006 have been adjusted to reflect the quarterly impact of the SAB 108 adjustment made in the fourth quarter of 2006. The adjustment was considered immaterial for each of the quarters of 2006.
GENERAL, CORPORATE AND OTHER
The release of subsurface rights on 57 acres in 2007 and 94 acres during 2006 produced profits on sales of other real estate interests totaling $34,744 and $144,052, respectively.
Interest and other income decreased 38% to $150,709 for 2007’s first quarter. This decline, down from $243,452 during 2006, was attributed to lower earnings on funds held for reinvestment through the like-kind exchange process.
General and administrative expenses increased 83% during the first quarter to $3,484,705. This increase, from $1,908,530 in the first quarter of 2006, was primarily the result of higher stock option expenses, along with increased retirement benefit costs, and legal and audit fees. Stock option costs increased as the price of the Company’s stock during 2007’s first period rose $3 per share compared with an approximate $9 price decrease; during the first quarter of 2006 the stock price of Company declined 12%.
In May 2006, the Company sold a former automobile dealership site located in Daytona Beach, Florida, which was being held as an income property. The financial results of operations have been reported separately as discontinued operations in the financial statements. A loss, net of income taxes, of $7,978 was posted in 2006’s period ended March 31, 2006.
On January 1, 2006, the Company implemented SFAS No. 123R. The implementation resulted in the recording of a $216,093, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle during the first quarter, net of income tax.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash, restricted cash, and investment securities totaled $15,034,176 on the balance sheet at March 31, 2007, with $1,918,927 of this balance held by a qualified intermediary for reinvestment through the like-kind exchange process. This balance represents an increase of $1,329,745 over the balance held at December 31, 2006. This increase was provided by operating activities, including an add-back to net income of $1,849,184, for non-cash compensation. Offsetting the cash provided by operating activities were outflows of funds for the acquisition of property, plant, and equipment and the payment of dividends. The continued land clearing and planting of Company lands for the hay operation was the primary use of funds used for the acquisition of property, plant, and equipment, with total funds of $556,343 expended on property, plant and equipment. Dividends amounting to $512,371, equivalent to $.09 per share, were paid during the quarter.
Outstanding balances on notes payable totaled $6,999,764 at March 31, 2007, with no balance outstanding on the Company’s revolving line of credit. During the quarter, the Company amended its financing agreements with its primary lender. The changes to the agreements included the expansion of the revolving line of credit to $20 million from $10 million, while decreasing the interest rate to 140 basis points over the 30-day LIBOR and releasing the 3,000 acres mortgaged under the $8 million ten-year term loan. Under the prior agreement, the interest rate was the lower of 150 basis points over the 30-day LIBOR or 1% below prime rate. All affirmative and negative covenants have been deleted in the agreements with the exception of one covenant. This one remaining covenant states that without prior consent of the lender the Company cannot borrow in any fiscal year an amount which exceeds $1 million. For purposes of calculating this limitation, the amount shall not include debt which is non-recourse to the Company, or debt assumed by the Company in the acquisition of real property to be held for investment purposes.
14
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)
Capital expenditures planned for the remainder of the year approximate $7 million. These planned expenditures include approximately $2 million for development of roads, $1.7 million for land clearing and planting in the hay operation, and $3 million for construction of a 23,000 square-foot office building on Company owned land. The Company is currently negotiating long-term leases with potential tenants for the office building. In addition to these requirements, the Company intends to invest in additional real estate opportunities, through the like-kind exchange process, as qualified funds become available.
Capital to fund planned expenditures is expected to be provided from cash and investment securities, as they mature, operating activities, and existing financing sources. The Company has the ability to borrow on a non-recourse basis against its existing income properties, which are all free of debt as of the date of this filing.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The profit on sales of real estate is accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of real estate at the time the sale is consummated unless the property is sold on a deferred payment plan and the initial payment does not meet criteria established under SFAS No. 66, or the Company retains continuing involvement with the property.
During 2005 and 2006, the Company closed transactions for which it had post-closing obligations to provide off-site utilities and/or road improvements. Full cash payment was received at closing, and warranty deeds were transferred and recorded. The sales contracts do not provide any offsets, rescission or buy-back if the improvements are not made. During the first quarter of 2007, a portion of the post-closing obligations were completed, and thus revenues and profits of $140,087 and $73,402 were recognized, respectively, on these transactions. Post-closing obligations still existed at March 31, 2007, on two transactions, and in accordance with SFAS No. 66 revenues and profits of $527,164 and $427,628, respectively, were deferred, at that time.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company has reviewed the recoverability of long-lived assets, including land and development and property, plant, and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may or may not be recoverable. Land and development is evaluated for impairment by estimating sales prices less costs to sell. Impairment on income properties and other property, plant, and equipment is measured using an undiscounted cash flow approach. There has been no material impairment of long-lived assets reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company has an interest rate swap agreement. This swap arrangement changes the variable-rate cash flow exposure on the debt obligations to fixed cash flows so that the Company can manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk. This swap arrangement essentially creates the equivalent�� of fixed-rate debt. The above referenced transaction is accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities,” and SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an Amendment of SFAS No. 133.” The accounting requires the derivative to be recognized on the balance sheet at its fair value and the changes in fair value to be accounted for as other comprehensive income or loss. The Company measures the ineffectiveness of the interest rate swap derivative by comparing the present value of the cumulative change in the expected future cash flows on the variable leg of the swap with the present value of the cumulative change in the expected future interest cash flows on the floating rate liability. This measure resulted in no ineffectiveness for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006. A liability in the amount of $365,404 at March 31, 2007, has been established on the Company’s balance sheet. The change in fair value, net of applicable taxes, in the cumulative amount of $224,449 at March 31, 2007, has been recorded as accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders’ equity.
The Company maintains a stock option plan pursuant to which 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock may be issued. The Plan in place was approved at the April 25, 2001 shareholders’ meeting. Under the Plan, the option exercise price equals the stock market price on the date of grant. The options vest over five years and all expire after ten years. The Plan provides for the grant of (1) incentive stock options, which satisfy the requirements of Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 422, and (2) non-qualified options which are not entitled to favorable tax treatment under IRC Section 422. No optionee may exercise incentive stock options in any calendar year for shares of common stock having a total market value of more than $100,000 on the date of grant (subject to certain carryover provisions).
15
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In connection with the grant of non-qualified options, a stock appreciation right for each share covered by the option may also be granted. The stock appreciation right will entitle the optionee to receive a supplemental payment, which may be paid in whole or in part in cash or in shares of common stock equal to a portion of the spread between the exercise price and the fair market value of the underlying shares at the time of exercise. All options granted to date have been non-qualified options.
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R by using the modified prospective method of adoption. SFAS No. 123R requires the classification of share-based payment arrangements as liability or equity instruments.
Both the Company’s stock options and stock appreciation rights are liability classified awards under SFAS No. 123R and are required to be remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date until the award is settled. For liability-classified awards, SFAS No. 123R requires an entity to remeasure the liability from its intrinsic value to its fair value on the adoption date, as the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of any related tax effect. The Company remeasured the value of its stock options and stock appreciation rights as of January 1, 2006, which resulted in a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of tax, totaling $216,093.
The principal market risk (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices) to which the Company is exposed is interest rates. The objective of the Company’s asset management activities is to provide an adequate level of liquidity to fund operations and capital expansion, while minimizing market risk. The Company utilizes overnight sweep accounts and short-term investments to minimize the interest rate risk. The Company does not actively invest or trade in equity securities. The Company does not believe that its interest rate risk related to cash equivalents and short-term investments is material due to the nature of the investments.
The Company manages its debt, considering investment opportunities and risk, tax consequences, and overall financial strategies. The Company is primarily exposed to interest rate risk on its $8,000,000 ($6,999,764 outstanding at March 31, 2007) term loan. The borrowing bears a variable rate of interest based on market rates. Management’s objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower the overall borrowing costs. To achieve this objective, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement during the second quarter of 2002. A hypothectical change in the interest rate of 100 basis points (i.e., 1%) would not materially affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the first fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
