NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands )
1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to
present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 1996
and December 31, 1995 and the results of operations and cash
flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1996 and 1995. The 1995 statements have been restated to
reflect the reclassification of the Communications segment and
linerboard mill and container plants as discontinued
operations.
2. The results of operations for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year.
3. On April 11, 1996, St. Joe Industries, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, sold the stock of St. Joe
Communications, Inc. (SJCI) to TPG Communications, Inc. as
previously discussed. SJCI also sold its interest in four
cellular partnerships. These sales represent the
Company's entire Communication segment.On May 30, 1996, the
Company sold its linerboard mill and container plants. The
Company retains its timberlands and will continue to operate
in this segment.
Operating revenues for the three month periods ended September
30, 1996 and 1995 for the Communications segment were $0 and
$8,400, respectively and for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $8,435 and $24,259
respectively and net sales for the linerboard mill and
container plants for the three month periods ended September
30, 1996 and 1995 were $0 and $127,958, respectively and for
the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were
$153,406 and $430,062, respectively. These amounts are not
included in net sales and operating revenues in the
accompanying statement of income and retained earnings.
The gain on the sale of these operations was $90.4 million
after income taxes of $61.6 million. The gain is subject to
final postclosing working capital adjustments.
Net operating results of the Communications segment and for
the linerboard mill and container plants for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are shown
separately as earnings from discontinued operations in the
accompanying statement of income and retained earnings.
Net assets to be disposed of have been separately classified
in the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 1995. At
September 30, there were no specific assets or liabilities
classified as discontinued operations.
4. As a result of the sale of the Communications segment and the
linerboard mill and container plants and the attendant
reduction in employees covered by the Company's pension plans,
an estimated gain from curtailment of the pension plans of
$1,200, net of tax, was recorded as part of the gain on sale
of discontinued operations.
In addition, the Company's pension plans remain in an
overfunded position and, with the reduction in employees
resulting from the sales, it is unlikely that the overfunding
will be realized other than by a plan termination and
reversion of excess assets. Accordingly, the Company has
recorded the 50% excise tax applicable to plan terminations as
additional deferred taxes which amounted to approximately
$11,000. The Company has no immediate plans to terminate the
pension plans and is in the process of evaluating other
alternatives.
5. Inventories at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995:
September 30 December 31
1996 1995
------------ -----------
Materials and supplies $ 14,148 $ 12,875
Sugar 2,985 7,717
$ 17,133 $ 20,592
6. Accrued liabilities at September 30, 1996 consisted of real
estate and personal property taxes of $16,879, accrued
casualty and other reserves of $18,125 and other accrued
liabilities of $8,298.
7. The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation on
a number of matters and are subject to certain claims which
arise in the normal course of business, none of which, in the
opinion of management, is expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with
respect to losses for third party liability, property damage
and group health insurance provided to employees.
The Company is subject to costs arising out of environmental
laws and regulations, which include obligations to remove or
limit the effects on the environment of the disposal or
release of certain wastes or substances at various sites. It
is the Company's policy to accrue and charge against
earnings environmental cleanup costs when it is probable that
a liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably
estimable. As assessments and cleanups proceed, these accruals
are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, as additional
information becomes available.
The Company is currently a party to, or involved in, legal
proceedings directed at the cleanup of four Superfund sites.
The Company has accrued its allocated share of the total
estimated cleanup costs for these four sites. Based upon
management's evaluation of the other potentially
responsible parties, the Company does not expect to incur
additional amounts even though the Company has joint and
several liability. Other proceedings involving environmental
matters such as alleged discharge of oil or waste material
into water or soil are pending against the Company.
It is not possible to quantify future environmental costs
because many issues relate to actions by third parties or
changes in environmental regulation. However, based on
information presently available, management believes that the
ultimate disposition of currently known matters will not
have a material effect on the financial position, liquidity,
or results of operation of the Company. As of September 30,
1996 and December 31, 1995, the aggregate environmental
related accruals were $6.2 million. Environmental liabilities
are paid over an extended period and the timing of such
payments cannot be predicted with any confidence.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
During the second quarter, the Company sold its Communication
segment and its linerboard mill and container plants. Sale of the
Communications segment occurred on April 11, 1996 and the
linerboard mill and container plants on May 30, 1996. Operating
revenues for the three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and
1995 for the Communications segment were $0 and $8,400,
respectively and for the nine month periods ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 were $8,435 and $24,259 respectively. Net sales for
the linerboard mill and container plants for the three month
periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $0 and $127,958
respectively and for the nine month periods ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 were $153,406 and $430,062, respectively. These
amounts are not included in net sales and operating revenues in the
accompanying statement of income and retained earnings.
The gain on the sale of these operations was $90.4 million after
income taxes of $61.6 million. The gain is subject to final
postclosing working capital adjustments.
Because the completion of these sales, revenues of the Company will
be materially lower than historical levels. Net income, earnings
per share and cash flows may also be materially different than
previous periods.
Quarter ended September 30, 1996
Net sales and operating revenues for the quarter were $84.6
million, a $1.7 million increase from the same period in 1995 and
a $4.4 million increase from the second quarter of 1996. Forestry
net sales increased by $5.5 million over 1995 and $7.3 million over
the second quarter. Cost of sales and operating expenses were $65.8
million, up from $63.0 million in 1995 and $51.6 million in the
second quarter of 1996. These costs were 77.8% of net sales and
operating revenues in 1996 compared to 76.0% in 1995 and 64.4% in
the second quarter 1996. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were $9.2 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared to
$8.1 million in the third quarter of 1995 and $5.5 million in the
second quarter 1996. As a result of these changes, operating profit
was $9.6 million compared to $11.7 million in the same quarter of
1995 and $23.1 million in the second quarter of 1996.
Nine Months ended September 30, 1996
Net sales and operating revenues were $335.7 million for the first
three quarters of 1996, an increase of $90.5 million over the same
period in 1995. The increase was primarily due to land sales to the
State of Florida of $97.8 million offset somewhat by a decline in
sales by the sugar segment of $8.6 million. Cost of sales and
operating expenses stayed fairly constant at $186.5 million
compared to 1995 at $187.0 million. Selling, general and
administrative expenses rose slightly to $23.4 million in 1996 as
compared to $22.7 million in 1995. Operating profit increased to
$126.0 million compared to 1995's $35.4 million. An analysis of
operating results by segment follows:
Forestry
Quarter ended September 30, 1996
1996 1995 % Increase
Net Sales 18.9 13.4 41.0
Cost of Sales 17.2 12.8 34.4
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 2.6 1.5 73.3
Operating Profit (Loss) (0.9) (0.9) 0
This quarter represents the first full quarter the forestry unit
has operated completely independent of the Company's formerly
owned linerboard mill which was sold on May 30,1996. Sales to the
linerboard mill are governed by the Fiber Supply Agreement
("Agreement") executed by the parties at the time of sale.
Delivered prices to the mill dropped by 1.89% on August 1, 1996
reflecting the lagging market price mechanism negotiated as part of
the Agreement. Sales revenues are booked based on the negotiated
market price mechanism adjusted on a quarterly basis. The
Agreement continues for fifteen years with two five-year
extensions. Annual wood fiber tonnage supplied from Company's lands
will not exceed that previously provided to the linerboard mill.
During the third quarter approximately 557,000 tons were shipped to
the mill under the Agreement compared to approximately 389,000 tons
shipped in the same period of 1995. Approximately 54% of the 1996
tonnage was cut from Company lands versus 52% in 1995, the
remainder was acquired from private purchases.
Nine Months ended September 30, 1996
1996 1995 % Increase
(Decrease)
Net Sales 44.6 45.3 (1.6)
Cost of Sales 42.3 43.1 (2.0)
Selling, General and Administrative ExpenseS 3.2 3.6 (10.2)
Operating Profit (Loss) (0.9) (1.4) 36.3
Reduced production at the Company's linerboard mill prior to its
sale resulted in sales to the mill decreasing during the second
quarter. Cost of sales decreased from 95.1% of sales in the first
nine months of 1995 to 94.7% in the same period of 1996.
Transportation
Quarter ended September 30, 1996
1996 1995 % Increase
(Decrease)
Operating Revenues 44.8 46.7 (4.1)
Operating Expenses 35.0 34.9 0.3
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 4.7 4.7 (0.0)
Operating Profit 5.1 7.1 (28.2)
Rail traffic continued to decline on both the Company's rail
subsidiaries. The lower operating revenues are primarily
attributable to a decline in rail traffic of 0.5% on FEC and 3.7%
on ANRR.
Nine Months ended September 30, 1996
1996 1995 % Increase
(Decrease)
Operating Revenues 137.2 138.6 (1.0)
Operating Expenses 104.8 103.3 1.5
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 14.5 14.0 3.6
Operating Profit 17.9 21.3 (16.0)
A decline in rail shipments by for the first nine months
togetherwith the revenue reduction due to the haulage agreement,
were the main contributors to the fall in operating profit.
Sugar
Quarter ended September 30, 1996
1996 1995 % (Decrease)
Net Sales 11.0 14.4 (23.6)
Cost of Sales 7.8 10.5 (25.7)
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 0.6 0.8 (25.0)
Operating Profit (Loss) 2.6 3.1 (16.1)
The contract with the segment's customer calls for specific
shipment levels throughout the year, but, at the request of the
customer, the Company shipped in the first quarter of 1996, in
advance of the contract, an amount equal to approximately four
months additional shipments. Normal shipments resumed in
August but no sugar was shipped in July. Approximately 6,700 less
tons (21%) at a reduced net margin of $12 per ton were shipped in
the third quarter of 1996 as compared to 1995.
Nine Months ended September 30, 1996
1996 1995 % Decrease
Net Sales 29.7 38.3 (22.5)
Cost of Sales 20.9 26.7 (21.7)
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 2.5 2.8 (10.7)
Operating Profit 6.3 8.8 (28.4)
Shipments in 1996 dropped 16,200 tons or 19.2% from 1995 levels.
Prices also declined $19 per ton or 4.2%. The cost of production
declined by $5 or 1.5% in 1996 from $316 in 1995.

Rent and other income increased by $1.5 million in the second
quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased by $0.4 million.
Nine Months ended September 30, 1996
1996 1995 % Increase
Net Sales 124.2 23.0 440.0
Cost of Sales 18.4 13.9 32.4
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 3.1 2.1 47.6
Operating Profit 102.7 7.0 1,367.1
In 1996, realty property sales of $97.8 million were made to the
State of Florida which did not occur in 1995. Rent and other income
increased by $4.6 million in 1996 compared to the same period in
1995 as a result of an increase in normal tenant billings and the
addition of .6 million square feet of leaseable square feet. Cost
of sales increased principally due to cost associated with the sale
of the property to the State of Florida combined with an increase
in normal operating costs associated with the additional square
footage added. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased by $1.0 million.
Other Income increased $14.1 million in the third quarter of 1996
compared to 1995. Interest income increased by $9.8 million
reflecting investment of the proceeds from the sale of discontinued
operations while awaiting their distribution to shareholders. Gain
on sales and other dispositions of property, plant and equipment
increased $3.0 million, primarily due to the installment sale of
fiber optic conduits by FEC. Other income, net rose by $1.0
million.
Income from Continuing Operations increased $5.5 million (47%)
during the third quarter of 1996 from the same period in 1995.
As a result of the sale of the Communications segment and the
linerboard mill and container plants and the attendant reduction in
employees covered by the Company's pension plans, an estimated gain
from curtailment of the pension plans of $1.2 million, net of tax,
was recorded as part of the gain on sale of discontinued
operations.
In addition, the Company's pension plans are in an overfunded
position and, with the reduction in employees resulting from the
sales, it is unlikely that the overfunding will be realized other
than by a plan termination and reversion of excess assets.
Accordingly, the Company has recorded the 50% excise tax applicable
to plan terminations as additional deferred taxes which amounted to
approximately $11.0 million. The Company has no immediate plans to
terminate the pension plans and is in the process of evaluating
other alternatives.
Net income for the quarter was 2.5% above the same period in 1995.
Net income per share increased $.01 to $0.38. Incoming from
continuing operations was $0.38 per share as compared to $.21 per
share in the same period of 1995.
Financial Position
The Company's financial position remains strong. Current assets
rose to $684.6 million, an $187.4 million increase from year end,
principally due to the proceeds from the sale of discontinued
operations which are awaiting distribution to shareholders. Current
liabilities increased by $40.3 million, reflecting liabilities
arising from the sale of discontinued operations, causing the
current ratio to drop from 11.2 to 1 at year end to 8.1 to 1 at the
end of the second quarter.
Because of the completion of these sales, revenues of the Company
will be materially lower than historical levels. Net income,
earnings per share and cash flows may also be materially different
than previous periods.
The Company increased its investment in marketable securities by
$63.5 million over year end. Net property, plant and equipment
