THE ST. JOE COMPANY
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)
 
1.   Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
 
Description of Business
 
The St. Joe Company (the “Company”) is a real estate development company primarily engaged in residential, commercial and industrial development and rural land sales. The Company also has significant interests in timber. Most of its real estate operations, as well as its timber operations, are within the State of Florida.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements are not included herein. The consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2009 balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2009 audited financial statements.
 
The statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained herein. The consolidated interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its interim financial statements. As permitted under generally accepted accounting principles, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions. For interim financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded based upon estimated annual income tax rates.
 
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
 
Correction of Prior Period Error
 
In the first quarter of 2010, the Company determined that approximately $2.6 million ($1.6 million net of tax) of stock compensation expense related to the acceleration of the service period for retirement eligible employees should have been recognized in periods prior to 2010. Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheet for December 31, 2009 has been adjusted to reduce deferred income taxes, net, by $1.0 million and increase common stock by $2.6 million to reflect the correction of this error, with a corresponding $1.6 million reduction recorded to retained earnings. This correction is similarly reflected as an adjustment to common stock and retained earnings as of December 31, 2009 in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. The correction of this error also impacted the consolidated statements of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009. These corrections were not considered material to prior period financial statements.
 
New Accounting Standards
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require (1) a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; (2) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements; and (3) a reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and

inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) — Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (“ASU 2009-16”) and ASU 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810) — Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2009-17”). ASU 2009-16 formally codifies SFAS 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets , while ASU 2009-17 codifies SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). ASU 2009-16 represents a revision to the provisions of former SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities , and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” (“QSPE”), changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosures. ASU 2009-17 represents a revision to former FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities , and changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance. The updates require a number of new disclosures. ASU 2009-16 enhances information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and an entity’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. ASU 2009-17 requires a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting entity will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the reporting entity’s financial statements. The updates to the Codification are effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009, or January 1, 2010, for a calendar year-end entity. ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17 were adopted by the Company as required on January 1, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Although the Company holds a retained interest in bankruptcy remote QSPEs established in accordance with ASU 2009-16, the financial position and results of such QSPEs are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. The Company evaluated the accounting requirements of ASU 2009-17 and determined that it would not be required to consolidate the financial position and results of the QSPEs as the Company is not the primary decision maker with respect to activities that could significantly impact the economic performance of the QSPEs, nor does the Company perform any service activity related to the QSPEs.
 
2.   Stock-Based Compensation and Earnings Per Share
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is typically recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. Stock-based compensation cost may be recognized over a shorter requisite service period if an employee meets retirement eligibility requirements. Additionally, the 15% discount at which employees may purchase the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions is being recognized as compensation expense. Upon exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock, the Company will issue new common stock.

As of June 30, 2010, there was $2.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested restricted stock and stock option compensation arrangements which will be recognized over a weighted average period of four years.
 
Market Condition Grants
 
The Company grants to select executives and other key employees non-vested restricted stock whose vesting is based upon the achievement of certain market conditions which are defined as the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of certain peer groups during a three year performance period.
 
The Company currently uses a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value of its market condition awards. The determination of the fair value of market condition-based awards is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the requisite performance term of the awards, the relative performance of the Company’s stock price and shareholder returns to those companies in its peer groups and a risk-free interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the achievement of the market condition, provided the requisite service period is met.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including all potentially dilutive shares issuable under outstanding stock options and service-based non-vested restricted stock. Stock options and non-vested restricted stock are not considered in any diluted earnings per share calculations when the Company has a loss from continuing operations. Non-vested restricted shares subject to vesting based on the achievement of market conditions are treated as contingently issuable shares and are considered outstanding only upon the satisfaction of the market conditions.
 
The following table presents a reconciliation of average shares outstanding:
 
                                 
    Three Months Ended

Approximately 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 0.1 million and 0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as the effect would have been anti- dilutive.
 
3.   Fair value measurements
 
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 for its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
 
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

During 2008 and 2007, the Company sold 79,031 acres and 53,024 acres, respectively, of timberland in exchange for 15-year installment notes receivable in the aggregate amount of $108.4 million and $74.9 million, respectively. The installment notes are fully backed by irrevocable letters of credit issued by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The Company contributed the installment notes to bankruptcy remote QSPEs.
 
During 2008 and 2007, the QSPEs monetized $108.4 million and $74.9 million, respectively, of installment notes by issuing debt securities to third party investors equal to approximately 90% of the value of the installment notes. Approximately $96.1 million and $66.9 million in net proceeds were distributed to the Company during 2008 and 2007, respectively. The debt securities are payable solely out of the assets of the QSPEs and proceeds from the letters of credit. The investors in the QSPEs have no recourse against the Company for payment of the debt securities or related interest expense.
 
The QSPE’s financial position and results are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements as the Company is not the primary decision maker with respect to the activities that could significantly impact the economic performance of the QSPEs, nor does the Company perform any service activity related to the QSPEs.
 
The Company has recorded a retained interest with respect to the monetization of certain installment notes through the use of QSPEs, which is recorded in other assets. The retained interest is an estimate based on the present value of cash flows to be received over the life of the installment notes. The Company’s continuing involvement with the QSPEs is in the form of receipts of net interest payments, which are recorded as interest income and approximated $0.3 million and $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, the Company will receive the payment of the remaining principal on the installment notes during 2022 and 2023.
 
In accordance with ASC 325, Investments — Other, Subtopic 40 — Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets , the Company recognizes interest income over the life of the retained interest using the effective yield method with discount rates ranging from 2%-7%. This income adjustment is being recorded as an offset to loss on monetization of notes over the life of the installment notes. In addition, fair value may be adjusted at each reporting date when, based on management’s assessment of current information and events, there is a favorable or

adverse change in estimated cash flows from cash flows previously projected. The Company did not record any impairment adjustments as a result of changes in previously projected cash flows during the first six months of 2010 or 2009.

In the event of a failure and liquidation of the financial institution involved in our installment sales, the Company could be required to write-off the remaining retained interest recorded on its balance sheet in connection with the installment sale monetization transactions, which would have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and balance sheet.
 
On October 21, 2009, the Company entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Southwest Airlines to facilitate the commencement of low-fare air service to the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The Company has agreed to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs losses on its service at the new airport during the first three years of service by making specified break-even payments. There was no reimbursement required during the second quarter of 2010. The agreement also provides that Southwest Airlines’ profits from the air service during the term of the agreement will be shared with the Company up to the maximum amount of our break-even payments.
 
The term of the agreement extends for a period of three years ending May 23, 2013. Although the agreement does not provide for maximum payments, the agreement may be terminated by the Company if the break-even payments to Southwest Airlines exceed $14 million in the first year of air service or $12 million in the second year. Southwest Airlines may terminate the agreement if its actual annual revenues attributable to the air service at the new airport are less than certain minimum annual amounts established in the agreement.
 
The Company measured the associated standby guarantee liability at fair value based upon a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s best estimates of future cash flows to be paid by the Company pursuant to the strategic alliance agreement. These cash flows are based on numerous estimates including future fuel costs, passenger load factors, air fares, and seasonality. The fair value of the liability could fluctuate up or down significantly as a result of changes in assumptions related to these estimates and could have a material impact on the Company’s operating results.
 
The Company carried a standby guarantee liability of $0.8 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 related to this strategic alliance agreement. The Company reevaluates this estimate quarterly.
 
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Homes and homesites substantially completed and ready for sale are measured at lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The fair value of homes and homesites is determined based upon final sales prices of inventory sold during the period (level 2 inputs). For inventory held for sale, estimates of selling prices based on current market data are utilized (level 3 inputs). For projects under development, an estimate of future cash flows on an undiscounted basis is performed using estimated future expenditures necessary to maintain and complete the existing project and using management’s best estimates about future sales prices and holding periods (level 3 inputs). The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are those assets for which the Company has recorded valuation adjustments and write-offs during the current period. For the six months ending June 30, 2010, the valuation adjustments and write-offs were

Long-lived assets sold or held for sale with a carrying amount of $41.5 million were written down to their fair value of $29.2 million, resulting in a loss of $12.4 million, which was included in impairment losses for the six months ending June 30, 2009.
 
4.   Derivative Financial Instruments
 
The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815 — Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives, as defined, as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to cash flow risks inherent in its standby guarantee agreement with Southwest Airlines and does not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
 
As discussed in Note 3, the Company’s agreement with Southwest Airlines includes variable cost components which could have a significant impact on the Company’s cash flows. Airline operators are inherently dependent upon fuel to operate, and therefore, are impacted by changes in jet fuel prices. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company entered into a short-term financial derivative instrument to mitigate any potential adverse impact which may result from an increase in jet fuel costs. Specifically, the Company entered into a collar transaction in which the Company purchased a call option and sold a put option against the underlying cost of jet fuel for a portion of Southwest Airlines’ estimated fuel volumes. This derivative instrument is not designated as a hedge and changes in the fair value of this derivative instrument are recognized in other, net as gain (loss) on derivative contracts on a monthly basis. There was no initial net cost of the derivative contracts, and there was no gain or (loss) recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

5.   Discontinued Operations
 
In December 2009, the Company sold Victoria Hills Golf Club as part of the bulk sale of Victoria Park and sold its St. Johns Golf and Country Club. The Company has classified the operating results associated with these golf courses as discontinued operations as these operations had identifiable cash flows and operating results, and the Company has no continuing involvement in their operations.
 
On February 27, 2009, the Company sold its remaining inventory and equipment assets related to its Sunshine State Cypress mill and mulch plant.
 
Discontinued operations presented on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 included the following:

The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful notes receivable at each reporting date. Notes receivable balances are adjusted to net realizable value based upon a review of entity specific facts or when terms are modified. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a $0.5 million write-down resulting from a renegotiated builder note receivable. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company determined the Advantis note receivable was uncollectible and accordingly recorded a charge of $7.4 million related to the write-off of the outstanding balance. In addition, the Company received a deed in lieu of foreclosure related to a $4.0 million builder note receivable during the second quarter of 2009 and renegotiated terms related to certain other builder notes receivable during the second quarter of 2009. These events resulted in impairment charges of $0.4 million and $1.7 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
 
8.   Restructuring
 
The Company announced on March 17, 2010 that it is relocating its corporate headquarters from Jacksonville, Florida to its VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre to be developed adjacent to the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in Bay County, Florida. The Company will also be consolidating existing offices from Tallahassee, Port St. Joe and South Walton County into the new location. The relocation is expected to be completed during 2011.
 
The Company expects to incur charges to earnings in connection with the relocation related primarily to termination and relocation benefits for employees, as well as certain ancillary facility-related costs. Such charges are expected to be cash expenditures. Based on employee responses to the announced relocation, the Company estimates that total relocation costs should be approximately $5 million (pre-tax) of which $0.6 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2010. The relocation costs include relocation bonuses, temporary lodging expenses, resettlement expenses, tax payments, shipping and storage of household goods, and closing costs for housing transactions. These estimates are based on significant assumptions, such as home values, and actual results could differ materially from these estimates. In addition the Company estimates total cash termination benefits of approximately $2.2 million (pre-tax) of which $1.6 million was recorded in the first six months of 2010.
 
The charges associated with the Company’s 2010 restructuring and reorganization program by segment are as follows:

The Company has a $125 million revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Branch Banking and Trust Company. The Credit Agreement contains covenants relating to leverage, unencumbered asset value, net worth, liquidity and additional debt. The Credit Agreement does not contain a fixed charge coverage covenant. The Credit Agreement also contains various restrictive covenants pertaining to acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, asset dispositions and liens. The following includes a summary of the Company’s more significant financial covenants:
 
                 
    Covenant   June 30, 2010
 
Minimum consolidated tangible net worth
  $ 800,000     $ 882,732  
Ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value
    50.0 %     3.0 %

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. If any event of default occurs, lenders holding two-thirds of the commitments may terminate the Company’s right to borrow and accelerate amounts due under the Credit Agreement. In the event of bankruptcy, all amounts outstanding would automatically become due and payable and the commitments would automatically terminate.

On June 18, 2009, the Company, as plan sponsor of The St. Joe Company Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”), signed a commitment for the Pension Plan to purchase a group annuity contract from Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company for the benefit of the retired participants and certain other former employee participants in the Pension Plan. Current employees and former employees with cash balances in the Pension Plan are not affected by the transaction. The purchase price of the group annuity contract was approximately $101 million, which was funded from the assets of the Pension Plan on June 25, 2009 and included a premium to assume these obligations. The transaction resulted in the transfer and settlement of pension benefit obligations of approximately $93 million, which represented the obligation prior to the annuity purchase for the affected retirees and vested terminated employees. In addition, the Company recorded a non-cash settlement pre-tax charge to earnings during the second quarter of 2009 of $44.7 million. The Company also recorded a pre-tax credit in the amount of $44.7 million in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on its Consolidated Balance Sheet offsetting the non-cash charge to earnings.
 
The Company remeasures its plan assets and benefit obligation at each December 31. As a result of settlements and curtailments which occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company was required to remeasure its plan assets and benefit obligation as of June 30, 2010.
 
11.   Income Taxes
 
The Company had approximately $1.4 million of total unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, none of which, if recognized, would materially affect its effective income tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had accrued interest of $0.2 million and $0.3 million (net of tax benefit) at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, related to uncertain tax positions. There were no significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits including interest and penalties during the second quarter of 2010, and the Company does not expect any significant changes to its unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.
 
On March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “PPACA”) was signed into law, and, on March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “HCERA” and, together with PPACA, the “Acts”), which makes various amendments to certain aspects of the PPACA, was signed into law. The Acts effectively change the tax treatment of federal subsidies paid to sponsors of retiree health benefit plans that provide prescription drug benefits that are at least actuarially equivalent to the corresponding benefits provided under Medicare Part D.
 
The Company recognized a noncash charge of approximately $0.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to reduce deferred tax assets to reflect the change in the tax treatment of the federal subsidy.


17


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
The change in the tax treatment of the federal subsidy only affects the application of tax law to the Company’s prescription drug plans that are actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D and is not expected to result in an increase in the pre-tax cost of providing such plans to its retirees and employees.
 
The current income tax receivable was $67.8 million at June 30, 2010, of which $67.7 million was received in July, 2010.
 
12.   Segment Information
 
The Company conducts primarily all of its business in four reportable operating segments: residential real estate, commercial real estate, rural land sales and forestry. The residential real estate segment develops and sells homesites and now, to a lesser extent, homes, following the Company’s exit from homebuilding. The commercial real estate segment sells developed and undeveloped land. The rural land sales segment primarily sells parcels of land included in the Company’s timberland holdings. The forestry segment produces and sells pine pulpwood, sawtimber and other forest products.
 
The Company uses income (loss) from continuing operations before equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates, income taxes and noncontrolling interest for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing each segment’s performance, which the Company believes represents current performance measures.
 
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described above in the summary of significant accounting policies herein and in our Form 10-K. Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The caption entitled “Other” consists of corporate general and administrative expenses, net of investment income.

13.   Contingencies
 
The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability and property damage.
 
At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company was party to surety bonds of $20.3 million and $28.1 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit in the amount of $2.5 million which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.
 
The Company and its affiliates are involved in litigation on a number of matters and are subject to various claims which arise in the normal course of business, including claims resulting from construction defects and contract disputes. When appropriate, the Company establishes estimated accruals for litigation matters which meet the requirements of ASC 450 — Contingencies.
 
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, including sites which have been previously sold. 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 can be

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
reasonably estimated. As assessments and cleanups proceed, these accruals are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, as additional information becomes available.
 
The Company’s former paper mill site in Gulf County and certain adjacent property are subject to various Consent Agreements and Brownfield Site Rehabilitation Agreements with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The paper mill site has been assessed and rehabilitated by Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation in accordance with these agreements. The Company is in the process of assessing and rehabilitating certain adjacent properties. Management is unable to quantify the rehabilitation costs at this time.
 
Other proceedings involving environmental matters are pending against the Company. Aggregate environmental-related accruals were $1.6 million at June 30, 2010 and $1.7 million at December 31, 2009, respectively. Although in the opinion of management none of our litigation matters or governmental proceedings is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity, it is possible that the actual amounts of liabilities resulting from such matters could be material.
 
On October 21, 2009, the Company entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Southwest Airlines to facilitate the commencement of low-fare air service to the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The Company has agreed to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs losses on its service at the new airport during the first three years of service. See Note 3 for further discussion of this standby guarantee.
 
14.   Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, notes receivable and retained interests. The Company deposits and invests excess cash with major financial institutions in the United States. Balances may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.
 
Some of the Company’s notes receivable are from homebuilders and other entities associated with the real estate industry. As with many entities in the real estate industry, revenues have contracted for these companies, and they may be increasingly dependent on their lenders’ continued willingness to provide funding to maintain ongoing liquidity. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful notes receivable at each reporting date.
 
There are not any other entity specific facts which currently cause the Company to believe that the remaining notes receivable will be realized at amounts below their carrying values; however, due to the slump in real estate markets and tightened credit conditions, the collectability of these receivables represents a significant risk to the Company and changes in the likelihood of collectability could adversely impact the accompanying financial statements.
 
The Company’s real estate investments are concentrated in the State of Florida. A prolonged slump in the Florida real estate market and the economy could have an adverse impact on the Company’s real estate values.
 
The Company believes the large oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico from the Deepwater Horizon incident had and will continue to have a negative impact on our properties, results of operations and stock price and has created uncertainty about the future of the Gulf Coast region. The Company has filed a lawsuit against one of the parties responsible for the oil spill seeking the recovery of damages. The Company intends to pursue legal options against other responsible parties as well. The Company cannot be certain, however, of the amount of any recovery or the ultimate success of its claims.

Overview
 
We own a large inventory of land suitable for development in Florida. The majority of our land is located in Northwest Florida and has a very low cost basis. In order to optimize the value of these core real estate assets, we seek to reposition portions of our substantial timberland holdings for higher and better uses. We seek to create value in our land by securing entitlements for higher and better land-uses, facilitating infrastructure improvements, developing community amenities, undertaking strategic and expert land planning and development, parceling our land holdings in creative ways, performing land restoration and enhancement and promoting economic development.
 
We have four operating segments: residential real estate, commercial real estate, rural land sales and forestry.
 
Our residential real estate segment generates revenues from:
 
  •  the sale of developed homesites to retail customers and builders;
 
  •  the sale of parcels of entitled, undeveloped land;
 
  •  the sale of housing units built by us;
 
  •  resort and club operations;
 
  •  rental income; and
 
  •  brokerage fees on certain transactions.
 
Our commercial real estate segment generates revenues from the sale of developed and undeveloped land for retail, multi-family, office, hotel and industrial uses. Our rural land sales segment generates revenues from the sale of parcels of undeveloped land and rural land with limited development, easements, and mitigation bank credits. Our forestry segment generates revenues from the sale of pulpwood, sawtimber and forest products and conservation land management services.
 
Our business, financial condition and results of operations continued to be materially adversely affected during the second quarter of 2010 by the real estate downturn and economic recession in the United States. This challenging environment has exerted negative pressure on the demand for all of our real estate products and contributed to our net loss for the first six months of 2010.
 
In late April 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling platform located off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico exploded and sank causing the largest oil spill in United States history. Although a temporary stoppage of the oil leak was achieved in mid-July, the well has not yet been permanently capped. We have experienced physical impacts from the oil spill on our beachfront properties in Walton County, Florida, and we continue to monitor and take appropriate steps to respond to the situation. Although the full economic and environmental effects of the oil spill are uncertain at this time, we believe that during the second quarter of 2010, it had and will continue to have a negative impact on our properties, results of operations and stock price. We have engaged legal counsel to assist us with our efforts to recover damages from the parties responsible for this unprecedented environmental catastrophe. We cannot be certain, however, of the amount of any recovery or the ultimate success of our claims.
 
The new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport opened May 23, 2010. The new airport is located within the 75,000 acre West Bay Sector Plan. We believe that the new airport and service from Southwest Airlines will significantly improve the accessibility to Northwest Florida and will serve as a catalyst for regional growth and increased demand for our real estate products.
 
We announced on March 17, 2010 that we are relocating our corporate headquarters from Jacksonville, Florida to our VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre to be developed adjacent to the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in Bay County, Florida. We will also be consolidating our existing offices from Tallahassee, Port St. Joe and South Walton County into the new location. The relocation is expected to be completed in 2011.

Critical Accounting Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience, available current market information and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally we evaluate the results of these estimates on an on-going basis. Management’s estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
The critical accounting policies that we believe reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are set forth in Item 7 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. There have been no significant changes in these policies during the first six months of 2010.
 
Correction of Prior Period Error
 
In the first quarter of 2010, we determined that approximately $2.6 million ($1.6 million net of tax) of stock compensation expense related to the acceleration of the service period for retirement eligible employees should have been recognized in periods prior to 2010. Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheet for December 31, 2009 has been adjusted to reduce deferred income taxes, net, by $1.0 million and increase common stock by $2.6 million to reflect the correction of this error, with a corresponding $1.6 million reduction recorded to retained earnings. The correction is similarly reflected as an adjustment to common stock and retained earnings as of December 31, 2009 in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. The correction of this error also impacted the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009. These corrections were not considered material to prior period financial statements.

The decrease in real estate sales revenues and cost of real estate sales for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily due to decreased sales in our residential real estate and rural land sales segment. Residential real estate sales continue to remain weak as a result of oversupply, depressed prices within the Florida real estate markets, poor economic conditions and the oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon incident in the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, our rural land sales decreased during 2010 compared to 2009 as a result of our planned reduction in large tract rural land sales as well as weakened demand. During 2010, approximately $1.2 million, or 6%, of our second quarter revenues were generated by rural land sales compared to $8.4 million, or 22%, in the second quarter of 2009.
 
Other operating expenses decreased by $4.6 million, or 38% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 2009 and $7.8 million, or 34% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009, both due to lower general and

Table of Contents

administrative expenses as a result of our restructuring efforts and the sale of certain properties in 2009, which reduced 2010 carrying costs. For further detailed discussion of revenues and expenses, see Segment Results below.
 
Corporate expense.   Corporate expense, consisting of corporate general and administrative expenses, was $8.1 million and $5.8 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, an increase of 40% and $13.5 million and $14.1 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, a decrease of 4%. Our overall employee and administrative costs have decreased as a result of reduced headcount and cost savings initiatives. These cost savings were offset in the second quarter of 2010 by non-cash pension charges related to our reduced headcount. Corporate expense for the second quarter of 2010 included pension expense of $2.5 million related to settlements and curtailments resulting from the reductions in plan participants. Corporate expense for the second quarter of 2009 included pension income of $0.4 million. Corporate expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 included pension expense of $2.0 million compared to pension income of $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
Pension settlement charge.   On June 18, 2009, as plan sponsor, we signed a commitment for the pension plan to purchase a group annuity contract from Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company for the benefit of the retired participants and certain other former employee participants in our pension plan. Current employees and former employees with cash balances in the pension plan are not affected by the transaction. The purchase price of the annuity was approximately $101 million, which was funded from the assets of the pension plan on June 25, 2009 and included a premium to assume these obligations. The transaction resulted in the transfer and settlement of pension benefit obligations of approximately $93 million, which represented the obligation prior to the annuity purchase for the affected retirees and vested terminated employees. In addition, we recorded a non-cash settlement charge to earnings during the second quarter of 2009 of $44.7 million. We also recorded a $44.7 million pre-tax credit in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on our Consolidated Balance Sheet offsetting the non-cash charge to earnings. As a result of this transaction, we were able to significantly increase the funded status ratio of the pension plan, thereby reducing the potential for future funding requirements.
 
Impairment Losses.   We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Homes and homesites substantially completed and ready for sale are measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. For projects under development, an estimate of future cash flows on an undiscounted basis is performed using estimated future expenditures necessary to maintain and complete the existing project and using management’s best estimates about future sales prices and holding periods. During the second quarter of 2010 and the first six months of 2010, we recorded impairment charges on homes and homesites of zero and $0.1 million, respectively, in the residential real estate segment. During the second quarter of 2010 we also recorded a $0.5 million write-down resulting from a renegotiated builder note receivable in the residential segment.
 
During the second quarter of 2009 we recorded impairment charges of $12.2 million in the residential real estate segment related to completed unsold homes and homesites and a write-down of a condominium and marina development project which was sold in the third quarter of 2009. In addition, we recorded a $7.4 million write-off of the Advantis note receivable and a $0.4 million write-down of a builder note receivable.
 
During the first six months of 2009 we recorded impairment charges of $12.4 million in the residential real estate segment related to completed unsold homes and homesites and a write-down of a condominium and marina development project. In addition, we recorded a $7.4 million write-off of the Advantis note receivable and a $1.7 million write-down of builder notes receivable.
 
A continued decline in demand and market prices for our real estate products may require us to record additional impairment charges in the future. In addition, due to the ongoing difficulties in the real estate markets and tightened credit conditions, we may be required to write-down the carrying value of our notes receivable when such notes are determined to not be collectible.
 
Restructuring charge.   We announced on March 17, 2010 that we are relocating our corporate headquarters from Jacksonville, Florida to our VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre to be developed adjacent to the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in Bay County, Florida. We will also be consolidating existing

offices from Tallahassee, Port St. Joe and South Walton County into the new location. The relocation is expected to be completed during 2011.
 
We expect to incur charges to earnings in connection with the relocation related primarily to termination and relocation benefits for employees, as well as certain ancillary facility-related costs. Such charges are expected to be cash expenditures. Based on employee responses to the announced relocation, we estimate that total relocation costs should be approximately $5 million (pre-tax), of which $0.6 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2010. The relocation costs include relocation bonuses, temporary lodging expenses, resettlement expenses, tax payments, shipping and storage of household goods, and closing costs for housing transactions. These estimates are based on significant assumptions, such as home values, and actual results could differ materially from these estimates. In addition we estimate total cash termination benefits of approximately $2.2 million (pre-tax) of which $1.6 million was recorded in the first six months of 2010. Most of the termination and relocation benefits described above are expected to be incurred through the second quarter of 2011. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for further information regarding our restructuring charges.
 
Other income (expense).   Other income (expense) consists of investment income, interest expense, gains on sales and dispositions of assets, litigation expense, fair value adjustment of our retained interest in monetized installment note receivables and other income. Other income (expense) was $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and less than $0.1 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Investment income, net decreased $0.2 million and $0.6 million during the three and six months ending June 30, 2010 compared to 2009, respectively, primarily as a result of lower investment returns on our cash balances.
 
Interest expense increased $1.0 million and $2.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009 primarily as a result of our community development district debt obligations which was not capitalized in 2010 due to reduced spending levels.
 
Other, net increased $0.8 million and $0.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009 primarily as a result of income received from a $0.7 million litigation settlement.
 
Equity in (loss) income of unconsolidated affiliates.   We have investments in affiliates that are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Equity in (loss) income primarily related to joint ventures within our residential real estate segment which are now substantially sold out.
 
Income tax (benefit) expense.   Income tax (benefit) expense, including income tax on discontinued operations, totaled $(6.1) million and $(28.5) million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $(12.7) million and $(35.8) million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 42% and 39% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 39% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Discontinued Operations.   (Loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, totaled less than $(0.1) million and $(0.2) million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. See our Residential and Forestry sections below for further detail on discontinued operations.
 
Segment Results
 
Residential Real Estate
 
Our residential real estate segment typically plans and develops mixed-use resort, primary and seasonal residential communities of various sizes, located primarily on our existing land. We own large tracts of land in Northwest Florida, including significant Gulf of Mexico beach frontage and waterfront properties, and land near Jacksonville and Tallahassee.

Our residential sales remain weak. The real estate downturn, economic recession and the oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon incident in the Gulf of Mexico are all exerting negative pressure on the demand for real estate products in our markets. Inventories of resale homes and homesites remain high in our markets and prices remain depressed. We also believe that the oil spill is negatively impacting our resort and club operating results. We do not expect any significant favorable changes in market conditions during 2010.
 
Homes and homesites substantially completed and ready for sale are measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. For projects under development, an estimate of future cash flows on an undiscounted basis is performed. In 2009, the overall decrease in demand and market prices for residential real estate indicated that certain carrying amounts within our residential real estate segment were not recoverable. In the second quarter of 2009, we recorded impairment charges of $6.7 million related to a condominium and marina development project which was sold in 2009, $5.5 million of impairments associated with homes and homesites, and a $0.4 million write-down of a builder note receivable. In addition, we recorded an impairment charge of $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 related to a renegotiated builder note receivable.

included Artisan Park and Victoria Park, all of which are primary. St. Johns Golf and Country Club, Artisan Park and Victoria Park were all sold in the last half of 2009.
 
Resort and club revenues included revenues from the WaterColor Inn, WaterColor and WaterSound Beach vacation rental programs and other resort, golf, club and marina operations. Resort and club revenues were $10.8 million in the second quarter of 2010, with $9.6 million in related costs, compared to revenues totaling $10.5 million with $9.9 million in related costs in the second quarter of 2009, due to increased play at one of our golf courses and greater activity at our marinas. However, we have experienced a decline in resort and club revenues since the oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon incident in the Gulf of Mexico. Cost of resort and club revenues decreased $0.3 million as a result of reduced staffing levels and more efficient operation of our resorts and clubs.
 
Other operating expenses included salaries and benefits, marketing, project administration, support personnel and other administrative expenses. Other operating expenses were $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2009. The decrease of $4.9 million in operating expenses was primarily due to reductions in employee costs along with reductions in marketing and homeowners association funding costs, certain warranty and other project costs and real estate taxes, which savings were created by the sale of certain projects during 2009.
 
Other expense increased $0.5 million during the second quarter of 2010 which primarily consisted of interest expense associated with our community development district obligations which was not capitalized in 2010 due to reduced spending levels.

Also included in real estate sales are land sales of $0.2 million with related cost of sales of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Our Northwest Florida resort and seasonal communities included WaterColor, WaterSound Beach, WaterSound, WaterSound West Beach, WindMark Beach, RiverCamps on Crooked Creek, SummerCamp Beach and Wild Heron, while primary communities included Hawks Landing and Southwood. Our Northeast Florida communities included RiverTown and St. Johns Golf and Country Club, and our Central Florida communities included Artisan Park and Victoria Park, all of which are primary. St. Johns Golf and Country Club, Artisan Park and Victoria Park were all sold in the last half of 2009.
 
Resort and club revenues were $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, with $16.1 million in related costs compared to revenue totaling $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, with $16.4 million in related costs. Revenues increased $0.3 million due to increased play at one of our golf courses, and greater activity at our marinas. However, we have experienced a decline in resort and club revenues since the oil spill. Cost of resort and club revenues decreased $0.3 million as a result of reduced staffing levels and more efficient operation of our resorts and clubs.
 
Other operating expenses included salaries and benefits, marketing, project administration, support personnel and other administrative expenses. Other operating expenses were $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease of $8.2 million in operating expenses was primarily due to reductions in employee costs along with reductions in marketing and homeowners association funding costs, certain warranty and other project costs and real estate taxes, which savings were created by the sale of certain projects during 2009.
 
We recorded restructuring charges in our residential real estate segment of $0.7 million during the first six months of 2010 in connection with our corporate headquarters relocation.
 
Other expense increased $1.3 million during the first six months of 2010 which primarily consisted of interest expense associated with our community development district obligations which was not capitalized in 2010 due to reduced spending levels.

Commercial Real Estate
 
Our commercial real estate segment plans, develops and entitles our land holdings for a broad range of retail, office, hotel, industrial and multi-family uses. We sell and develop commercial land and provide development opportunities for national and regional retailers as well as strategic partners in Northwest Florida. We also offer land for commercial and light industrial uses within large and small-scale commerce parks, as well as for a wide range of multi-family rental projects. Consistent with residential real estate, the markets for commercial real estate, particularly retail, remain weak.
 
The table below sets forth the results of the continuing operations of our commercial real estate segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

There was one commercial land sale in Bay county during the six months ended June 30, 2010 of 2.8 acres at an average price of $110,000 per acre and none during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Sales and cost of sales also included previously deferred revenue and gain on sales, based on percentage-of-completion accounting.
 
Other revenues primarily relates to lease income associated with a long-term land lease with the Port Authority of Port St. Joe.
 
Much of our commercial real estate activity is focused on the opportunities presented by the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, which opened in May 2010. We believe these commercial opportunities will be significantly enhanced by Southwest Airlines’ service to the new airport. We continue pre-development activity at our VentureCrossings Enterprise Centre, an approximately 1,000 acre project adjacent to the airport site. The land is being planned for office, retail, hotel and industrial users. We expect, over time, that the new international airport will expand our customer base as it connects Northwest Florida with the global economy and as the area is repositioned from a regional to a national destination. We are uncertain at this time, however, of what impact the oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon incident in the Gulf of Mexico will have on our commercial operations in Northwest Florida.
 
Rural Land Sales
 
Our rural land sales segment markets and sells tracts of land of varying sizes for rural recreational, conservation and timberland uses. The land sales segment prepares land for sale for these uses through harvesting, thinning and other silviculture practices, and in some cases, limited infrastructure development. While we have reduced our offerings of rural land, like residential and commercial land, demand for rural land has also declined as a result of the current difficult market conditions.

During 2009, we made a strategic decision to sell fewer acres of rural land as we generated cash from other sources. We are employing the same strategy in 2010. We may, however, rely on rural land sales as a significant source of revenues and cash in the future.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we closed the following significant sales: 930 acres in Wakulla county for $3.9 million, or $4,234 per acre and 4,492 acres in Liberty County for $5.9 million, or $1,305 pre acre. Average sales prices per acre vary according to the characteristics of each particular piece of land being sold and its highest and best use. As a result, average prices will vary from one period to another.
 
During the fourth quarter 2009, we also began selling credits to developers, utility companies and other users from our wetland mitigation banks. Included in real estate sales was $0.6 million related to the sale of nine mitigation bank credits at an average sales price of $65,201 per credit during the first six months of 2010.
 
Sales and cost of sales for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 also included previously deferred revenue and gain on sales of $0.4 million and revenue and gain on sales of $0.4 million from an easement transaction.
 
Forestry
 
Our forestry segment focuses on the management and harvesting of our extensive timber holdings. We grow, harvest and sell sawtimber, pulpwood and forest products and provide land management services for conservation properties. On February 27, 2009, we completed the sale of the inventory and equipment assets of Sunshine State Cypress.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
 
We have a wood fiber supply agreement with Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation (“Smurfit-Stone”) which expires on June 30, 2012. Sales under this agreement were $3.5 million (167,000 tons) in the second quarter of 2010 and $4.0 million (188,000 tons) during the second quarter of 2009.
 
Sales to other customers in the second quarter totaled $4.0 million (146,000 tons) in 2010 as compared to $3.1 million (150,000 tons) in 2009. This increase in sales was due to higher sawtimber prices and pulpwood prices to parties outside the fiber supply agreement with Smurfit-Stone.
 
Cost of sales for the forestry segment decreased $0.1 million in 2010 compared to 2009 primarily due to an overall decrease in cut and haul expenses. While cut and haul costs were $0.4 million less in 2010 when compared to 2009 under the fiber agreement due to a decrease in delivered tons during 2010, cut and haul costs to outside customers increased $0.2 million when compared to 2009 due to the increase in volume of other sales during 2010.
 
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Sales under the wood fiber supply agreement with Smurfit-Stone were $7.1 million (342,000 tons) in 2010 and $7.3 million (348,000 tons) in 2009. During the first six months of 2010, we delivered fewer tons to Smurfit-Stone under the fiber agreement.
 
Sales to other customers totaled $6.3 million (256,000 tons) in 2010 as compared to $5.5 million (269,000 tons) in 2009. This increase in revenues was due to a higher price for sawtimber and higher prices for pulpwood sold to parties outside the supply agreement with Smurfit-Stone.
 
Our 2010 and 2009 revenues included $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, related to revenue we received for land management services. The 2010 revenue also included $0.6 million related to the Biomass Crop Assistance Program sponsored by the federal government during the first four months of 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $138.9 million, compared to $163.8 million as of December 31, 2009.
 
We invest our excess cash primarily in government-only money market mutual funds, short term U.S. treasury investments and overnight deposits, all of which are highly liquid, with the intent to make such funds readily available for operating expenses and strategic long-term investment purposes.
 
We believe that our current cash position, our undrawn $125 million revolving credit facility and the cash we expect to generate from operating activities will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our working capital needs and capital expenditures and provides us with the financial flexibility to withstand the current market downturn.
 
As more fully described in Note 9 of our consolidated financial statements, our $125 million revolving credit facility contains covenants relating to leverage, unencumbered asset value, net worth, liquidity and additional debt. The credit facility does not contain a fixed charge coverage covenant. The credit facility also contains various restrictive covenants pertaining to acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, asset dispositions and liens.
 
We have entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Southwest Airlines to facilitate low-fare air service to the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. We have agreed to reimburse Southwest Airlines if it incurs losses on its service at the new airport during the first three years of service by making break-even payments. There was no reimbursement required during the second quarter of 2010. The agreement also provides that Southwest’s profits from the air service during the term of the agreement will be shared with us up to the maximum amount of our break-even payments. These cash payments and reimbursements could have a significant effect on our cash flows and results of operations starting in the second half of 2010, depending on the results of Southwest’s operations of the air service. In order to mitigate potential losses that may arise from changes in Southwest Airlines’ jet fuel costs, during the second quarter of 2010, we entered into a short term premium neutral collar arrangement with respect to the underlying cost of jet fuel for a portion of Southwest Airlines’ estimated fuel volumes.
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
Net cash (used in) provided by operations was ($29.4) million, due primarily to fewer residential and rural land sales and $3.3 million in the first six months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. During such periods, capital expenditures relating to our residential real estate segment were $3.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Additional capital expenditures were $2.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and primarily related to commercial real estate development.
 
Our current income tax receivable was $67.8 million at June 30, 2010 of which $67.7 million was received in July, 2010.

There have been no material changes to the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk set forth in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, during the second quarter of 2010.
 
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s 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 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in bringing to their attention on a timely basis material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings under the Exchange Act.
 
(b) Changes in Internal Controls. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, there were no changes in our internal controls that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
 
We were involved during the second quarter of 2010 in routine litigation on a number of matters and were subject to claims which arose in the normal course of business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
Item 1A.    Risk Factors
 
In late April 2010, an oil drilling platform exploded and sank in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana releasing millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf. The oil spill is the largest environmental disaster in United States history, and large-scale cleanup operations are ongoing. The oil spill and its devastating environmental impacts have received intense, widespread media attention.
 
Although the ruptured oil well was temporarily capped in mid-July, permanent containment of the well has not yet been achieved, and there can be no assurance that the attempt to permanently cap the well will be successful. Even if successful, there is much uncertainty about the extent of the environmental damage from the oil and other pollutants that have been discharged into the Gulf and the duration of the negative effects from the spill.
 
We have experienced physical impacts from the oil spill on our beachfront properties in Walton County, Florida, and we continue to monitor and take appropriate steps to respond to the situation. Although the full economic and environmental effects of the oil spill are uncertain at this time, we believe that it has had, and will continue to have, a negative impact on our properties, results of operations and stock price. Future oil spill incidents, or the prospect of future oil spill incidents, could also negatively effect us.
 
We have engaged legal counsel to assist us with our effort to recover damages from the parties responsible for the oil spill. We cannot be certain, however, of the amount of any recovery or the ultimate success of our claims.
 
Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
 
Our Board of Directors has authorized a total of $950.0 million for the repurchase of our outstanding common stock from shareholders from time to time (the “Stock Repurchase Program”), of which $103.8 million remained available at June 30, 2010. There is no expiration date for the Stock Repurchase Program, however, we have no present intention to repurchase any shares under the Stock Repurchase Program. In addition, our $125 million revolving credit facility requires that we not repurchase stock in amounts in excess of any cumulative net income that we have earned since January 1, 2007.

(1)   A project is deemed land-use entitled when all major discretionary governmental land-use approvals have been received. Some of these projects may require additional permits for development and/or build-out; they also may be subject to legal challenge.
 
(2)   Current St. Joe land classifications for its residential developments or the residential portion of its mixed-use projects:
    PR — Primary residential
 
    RS — Resort and seasonal residential
 
    RR — Rural residential
 
(3)   Project units represent the maximum number of units entitled or currently expected at full build-out. The actual number of units or square feet to be constructed at full build-out may be lower than the number entitled or currently expected.
 
(4)   Represents the remaining square feet with land-use entitlements as designated in a development order or expected given the existing property land use or zoning and present plans. The actual number of square feet to be constructed at full build-out may be lower than the number entitled. Commercial entitlements include retail, office and industrial uses. Industrial uses total 6,128,381 square feet including SouthWood, RiverTown and the West Bay DSAP I.
 
(5)   A project is “in development” when St. Joe has commenced horizontal construction on the project and commenced sales and/or marketing or will commence sales and/or marketing in the foreseeable future. A project in “pre-development” has land-use entitlements but is still under internal evaluation or requires one or more additional permits prior to the commencement of construction. For certain projects in pre-development, some horizontal construction may have occurred, but no sales or marketing activities are expected in the foreseeable future.
 
(6)   Homesites acquired by St. Joe within the Wild Heron community.
 
(7)   Timber Island entitlements include seven residential units and 400 units for hotel or other transient uses (including units held with fractional ownership such as private residence clubs).
 
(8)   West Bay Landing is a sub-project within West Bay DSAP I.
