THE ST. JOE COMPANY

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations

The St. Joe Company together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a real estate development and operating company with real estate assets and operations currently concentrated primarily between Tallahassee and Destin, Florida.

The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following five reportable operating segments: 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts and leisure, 4) leasing operations and 5) forestry. In prior periods, the Company’s reportable operating segments were 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts, leisure and leasing operations and 4) forestry. The Company’s leasing operations segment currently meets the quantitative and qualitative factors as a reportable operating segment; therefore, the Company has changed its segment presentation to include leasing operations as a reportable operating segment. Leasing operations were historically included with the Company’s resorts, leisure and leasing operating segment. All prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. The change in reporting segments had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented. See Note 17, Segment Information.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements are not included herein. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in which the Company has significant influence, but not a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2014 balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2014 audited consolidated 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. As required under GAAP, 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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Discontinued operations

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) that changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. In addition, this ASU mandates expanded disclosures about the discontinued operation and requires disclosures about certain disposals that do not qualify as discontinued operations. This guidance is applied prospectively and the Company adopted it as of January 1, 2015. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Balance Sheets or Statements of Cash Flows.

10

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that establishes the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. The new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application will be permitted, but not before annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company has not adopted this ASU as of September 30, 2015.

Consolidation

In February 2015, the FASB issued an ASU that amends the existing consolidation guidance related to (i) limited partnerships and similar legal entities, (ii) the evaluation of variable interests for fees paid to decision makers or service providers, (iii) the effect of fee arrangements and related parties on the primary beneficiary determination, and (iv) certain investment funds. These changes are expected to limit the number of consolidation models and place more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest. The new guidance will be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted, including early adoption in an interim period. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has not adopted this ASU as of September 30, 2015.

Debt issuance costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendment does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. The new guidance should be applied on a retrospective basis and is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position. The Company has not adopted this ASU as of September 30, 2015.

Total operating property, net	153,170		151,022
Investment in real estate, net	$	315,537	$	321,812

Development property consists of land the Company is developing or intends to develop for sale or future operations. Residential real estate includes mixed-use resort, primary and seasonal residential communities and includes costs directly associated with the land, development and construction of these communities, including common development costs such as roads, sewers, and amenities and indirect costs such as development overhead, capitalized interest, marketing and project administration. Commercial real estate includes land for commercial and industrial uses, including land holdings near the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, and includes costs directly associated with the land and development costs for these properties, which also include common development costs such as roads and sewers. Leasing development property primarily includes the land and construction under development for the consolidated joint venture at Pier Park North. This development property is being reclassified as operating property as the operations continue to commence at Pier Park North.    

Operating property includes property that the Company uses for daily operations and activities. The resorts and leisure operating property includes the WaterColor Inn, golf courses and marinas. Leasing operating property includes property developed by the Company and used for retail and commercial rental purposes, including property in our consolidated joint venture at Pier Park North. Operating property may be sold in the future as part of the Company’s principal real estate business. Forestry operating property includes the Company’s timberlands.

The Company had capitalized indirect development costs, primarily related to the consolidated joint venture at Pier Park North, of less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.6 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

3. Impairment of Long Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment quarterly to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets include the Company’s investments in operating and development property and property and equipment, net. As part of the Company’s review for impairment of its long-lived assets, the Company reviews each long-lived asset’s carrying value, current period actual financial results as compared to prior period and forecast contained in the Company’s business plan and any other event or changes in circumstances to identify whether an indicator of potential impairment may exist. Some of the events or changes in circumstances that are considered by the Company as indicators of potential impairment include:

• a prolonged decrease in the fair value or demand for the Company’s properties;

• a change in the expected use or development plans for the Company’s properties;

• a material change in strategy that would affect the fair value of the Company’s properties;

• continuing operating or cash flow losses for an operating property;

• an accumulation of costs in excess of the projected costs for a development property; and

• any other adverse change that may affect the fair value of the property.

The Company uses varying methods to determine if an impairment exists, such as (i) considering indicators of potential impairment, (ii) analyzing expected future cash flows and comparing the expected future undiscounted cash flows of the property to its carrying value or (iii) determining market resale values.

There were no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets would not be recoverable, and, therefore, the Company did not record any impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

4. Investments

Investments consist of available-for-sale securities and are recorded at fair value, which is based on observable market inputs. Unrealized gains and temporary losses on investments, net of tax, are recorded in Other comprehensive (loss) income. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method. The amortized cost of debt securities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity computed under the effective interest method. Such amortization is included in Investment income, net. In addition, at September 30, 2015, the Company had investments in short term commercial paper that are classified as cash equivalents, since they had maturity dates of ninety days or less from the date of purchase.

At September 30, 2015 investments classified as available-for-sale securities were as follows:

Fairholme Capital Management, L.L.C., or one of its affiliates (“Fairholme Capital”), has served as an investment advisor to the Company since April 2013. As of September 30, 2015, funds managed by Fairholme Capital beneficially owned approximately 32.5% of the Company’s common stock. Mr. Bruce Berkowitz is the Managing Member of Fairholme Capital and the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. Fairholme Capital does not receive any compensation for services as the Company’s investment advisor.

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Investment Management Agreement as amended (the “Agreement”) with Fairholme Capital, Fairholme Capital agreed to supervise and direct the investments of an investment account established by the Company in accordance with the investment guidelines and restrictions approved by the Investment Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The investment guidelines are set forth in the Agreement and require that, as of the date of any investment: (i) at least 50% of the investment account be held in cash or cash equivalents, as defined in the Agreement, (ii) no more than 15% of the investment account may be invested in securities of any one issuer (excluding the U.S. Government) and (iii) any investment in any one issuer (excluding the U.S. Government) that exceeds 10%, but not 15%, requires the consent of at least two members of the Investment Committee. The investment account may not be invested in common stock securities.

As of September 30, 2015, the investment account included $30.9 million of money market funds and $99.0 million of commercial paper (all of which are classified within cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets), $234.9 million of U.S. Treasury securities, $5.3 million of corporate debt securities in an issuer that is a national retail chain that is non-investment grade and $11.9 million of preferred stock investments (all of which are classified within investments on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, realized gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $5.3 million and proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $182.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, realized gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $5.3 million, proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $322.8 million and proceeds from the maturity of available-for-sale securities were $310.0 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $75.0 million and proceeds from the maturity of U.S. Treasury securities were $40.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, realized losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $0.8 million, proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $83.2 million and proceeds from the maturity of available-for-sale securities were $100.0 million.

14

As of September 30, 2015, there were no unrealized losses related to commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, corporate debt securities or preferred stock investments. As of December 31, 2014, certain of the Company’s U.S. Treasuries and preferred stock had immaterial unrealized losses. The Company previously reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K that it had no continuous unrealized losses greater than twelve months as a result of recognizing a portion of the unrealized loss in earnings as of September 30, 2014. The Company has revised this disclosure in the following table that provides the corporate debt securities continuous unrealized loss position and its related fair values:    

	As of September 30, 2015								As of December 31, 2014
	Less Than 12 Months				12 Months or Greater				Less Than 12 Months				12 Months or Greater
	Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses
Corporate debt securities	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	85,845	$	1,294	$	14,260	$	188

The Company had no unrealized losses as of September 30, 2015. The Company’s unrealized losses as of December 31, 2014 relate to investments in senior secured debt securities in one issuer that is a national retail chain that is non-investment grade. The Company purchased these investments between the second quarter of 2013 through the second quarter of 2014. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company determined that these investments were other-than-temporarily impaired and recorded $1.3 million related to credit-related losses in Investment income, net on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The credit-losses were measured as the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows of the corporate debt securities discounted using the effective interest rate at the date of purchase and the amortized cost of the corporate debt securities. The Company sold these investments during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and recorded a realized gain of $5.3 million.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company did not intend to sell the investments with unrealized losses and it was not more likely than not that the Company would have been required to sell the security prior to its anticipated recovery, which could have been maturity; therefore, the Company does not believe that its investment in the corporate debt securities was other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014.

The net carrying value and estimated fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale at September 30, 2015, by contractual maturity are shown in the following table. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations.

	Amortized Cost		Fair Value
Due in one year or less	$	333,636	$	333,845
Due after one year through five years	5,269		5,269

5. Real Estate Sales

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily comparable from period to period due to the impact of the AgReserves Sale and the RiverTown Sale during 2014.

AgReserves Sale

Real estate sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, includes the sale to AgReserves, Inc. of approximately 380,000 acres of land located in Northwest Florida, along with certain other assets and inventory and rights under certain continuing leases and contracts (the “AgReserves Sale”). On March 5, 2014, the Company completed the AgReserves Sale for $562 million and recorded pre-tax income of $511.1 million for the AgReserves Sale, which includes $1.2 million of severance costs recorded in Other operating expenses. As a result of certain adjustments to the purchase price, consideration received for the AgReserves Sale was (1) $358.5 million in cash, (2) a $200 millionfifteen year installment note (the “Timber Note”) issued by Panama City Timber Finance Company, LLC, a buyer-sponsored special purpose entity (the “AgReserves SPE”), and (3) an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Letter of Credit”) at the request of the AgReserves SPE, in favor of the Company. The AgReserves SPE was created by AgReserves with financial instruments having an aggregate principal balance of $203.5 million that secure the Letter of Credit.

In April 2014, the Company contributed the Timber Note and assigned its rights as a beneficiary under the Letter of Credit to Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC, a bankruptcy-remote, qualified special purpose entity wholly owned by the Company (“NFTF”). NFTF monetized the Timber Note by issuing $180 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) at an issue price of 98.483% of the face value to third party investors. The Senior Notes are payable solely by the property of NFTF and the investors holding the Senior Notes of NFTF have no recourse against the Company for payment of the Senior Notes or the related interest expense.

The Company received $165.0 million in cash, net of $15.0 million in costs, from the monetization and expects to receive the remaining$20.0 millionupon maturity of the Timber Note and after payment of the Senior Notes and any other liabilities of NFTF. The $15.0 million of costs from the monetization include (1) a total of $4.3 million for the discount and issuance costs for the Senior Notes, which will be amortized over the term of the Senior Notes, (2) $7.0 million for U.S. Treasury securities and cash that the Company contributed to NFTF to be used for interest and operating expenses over the fifteen year period of the Timber Note and which are recorded in Investments held by special purpose entities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and (3) $3.7 million of costs related to the monetization that were expensed during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and are recorded in Administrative costs associated with special purpose entities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company owns the equity interest in NFTF, but no equity interest in the AgReserves SPE. Both the AgReserves SPE and NFTF are distinct legal entities and the assets of the AgReserves SPE and NFTF are not available to satisfy the Company's liabilities or obligations and the liabilities of the AgReserves SPE and NFTF are not the Company's liabilities or obligations. In the event that proceeds from the financial instruments are insufficient to settle all of the liabilities of the AgReserves SPE or NFTF, the Company is not obligated to contribute any funds to either the AgReserves SPEor NFTF.

The Company has determined that it was the primary beneficiary of the AgReserves SPE and NFTF as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and therefore, the AgReserves SPE’s and NFTF’s assets and liabilities are consolidated in the Company's financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The carrying amounts of the AgReserves SPE’s and NFTF’s assets and non-recourse liabilities were $211.4 million and $178.1 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2015. The consolidated assets of the AgReserves SPE and NFTF consist of a $200 million time deposit that subsequent to April 2, 2014 pays interest at 4.006% and matures in March 2029, accrued interest of $1.3 million on the time deposit, U.S. Treasuries of $8.5 million, cash of $0.2 million and deferred issuance costs of $1.4 million for the Senior Notes. The consolidated liabilities include Senior Notes issued by NFTF totaling $177.4 million net of the $2.6 million discount and $0.7 million of accrued interest expense on the Senior Notes.

16

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes the following amounts related to the Buyer SPE and NFTF for (i) interest income on the time deposit and amortization of the discounts on the U.S. Treasuries and (ii) interest expense for the Senior Notes, amortization of the discount and issuance costs:

	Three Months Ended   September 30,						Nine Months Ended   September 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Investment income, net	$	2,050		$	2,050		$	6,150		$	4,067
Interest expense	$	(2,189	)	$	(2,185	)	$	(6,566	)	$	(4,397	)

The Company has classified the U.S. Treasury securities held by the AgReserves SPE and NFTF as held-to-maturity based on their intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. Accordingly, the debt securities are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value as of September 30, 2015. The U.S. Treasuries mature over the fifteen year period of the Timber Note or $0.8 million within one year, $3.6 million after one year through five years, $3.0 million after five years through ten years and $1.1 million after ten years.    

RiverTown Sale

On April 2, 2014, the Company completed the sale to an affiliate of Mattamy (Jacksonville) Partnership d/b/a Mattamy Homes (“Mattamy”), of approximately 4,057 acres of real property, which constitutes the RiverTown community in St. Johns County, Florida, along with all of the Company’s related development or developer rights, founder’s rights and certain tangible and intangible personal property in exchange for (1) $24.0 million in cash, (2) $19.6 million in the form of a purchase money note, (3) the assumption of the Company’s Rivers Edge Community Development District assessments and (4) the obligation to purchase certain RiverTown community related impact fee credits from the Company as the RiverTown community is developed. The $19.6 million purchase money note was paid in full as of June 30, 2015.

Based on Mattamy’s current development plans and St. Johns County’s current costs for impact fees, the Company estimates that it may receive $20 million to $26 million for the impact fees over the five-year period following the closing (most of which, the Company expects to receive at the end of that five-year period). However, the actual additional consideration received for the impact fees, will be based on Mattamy’s actual development of the RiverTown community, the timing of Mattamy’s development of the RiverTown community and the impact fee rates at the time of such development (as determined by St. Johns County’s then current impact fee rate schedule), which are all factors beyond the Company’s control. The Company cannot provide any assurance as to the amount or timing of any payments it may receive for the impact fees. The Company has not recorded a receivable for the estimated impact fees to be received and will record any revenues related to the receipt of the impact fees at the time of receipt. The Company received no impact fees during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and received $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the Company has received a total of approximately $0.2 million through September 30, 2015.

The Company recorded net earnings of $26.0 million before income taxes for the RiverTown Sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Mattamy also assumed the Company’s total outstanding Rivers Edge CDD assessments, which were $11.0 million, of which $5.4 million was recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2014.

Investment income, net

Interest and dividend income includes interest income accrued or received on the Company’s corporate debt securities and dividend income received from the Company’s preferred stock investments. Accretion income includes the amortization of the premium or discount related to the Company’s available-for-sale securities, which is amortized based on an effective interest rate method over the term of the available-for-sale security. Realized gains (losses) on the sale of investments include the gain or loss recognized on the sale of an available-for-sale security prior to maturity. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company determined that its investments in corporate debt securities were other-than-temporarily impaired and recorded $1.3 million related to credit-related losses in Investment income, net on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 4, Investments.

Interest income from investments in special purpose entities primarily includes interest accrued or received on the Timber Note, which is used to pay the interest expense for the Senior Notes issued by special purpose entity. See Note 5, Real Estate Sales.

18

Interest expense

Interest expense includes interest expense related to the Company’s Community Development District debt and the construction loan in the Pier Park North joint venture. Borrowing costs, including the discount and issuance costs for the Senior Notes issued by the special purpose entity, are amortized based on the effective interest method at an effective rate of 4.9%.

Other, net

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company expensed a total of $0.5 million and $7.9 million, respectively, related to the SEC investigation. This amount was included in Other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The $7.9 million of fees and expenses for the SEC investigation consisted of (i) an accrual of $3.5 million for penalties, disgorgements and interest relating to the SEC investigation and (ii) legal expenses associated with the SEC investigation. On October 27, 2015, the Company fully resolved the SEC investigation and entered into a settlement with the SEC. Without admitting or denying any factual allegations, the Company consented to the SEC’s issuance of an administrative order pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay penalties, disgorgements and interest of approximately $3.5 million, including a civil penalty assessed on the Company of $2.75 million and other disgorgements and interest subject to indemnification by the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company received correspondence from an insurance carrier related to non-coverage of certain fees and expenses incurred in the SEC investigation and, as a result of this correspondence, the Company recorded $0.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in legal costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. See Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies.

The Company records the accretion of investment income from its retained interest investment over the life of the retained interest using the effective yield method with rates ranging from 3.7% to 11.6%. Hunting lease income is recognized as income over the term of the lease.

7. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

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 a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

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, such as internally-developed valuation models which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

19

The financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2015 were as follows:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total Fair Value
Cash equivalents:
Money market funds	$	30,903	$	—	$	—	$	30,903
Commercial paper	98,984		—		—		98,984
Debt securities:
U.S. Treasury securities	234,861		—		—		234,861
Corporate debt securities	—		5,269		—		5,269
Preferred stock	—		11,895		—		11,895
Restricted investments:
Guaranteed income fund	—		7,156		—		7,156
	$	364,748	$	24,320	$	—	$	389,068

The financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2014 were as follows:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total Fair Value
Cash equivalents:
Money market funds	$	19,971	$	—	$	—	$	19,971
Debt securities:
U.S. Treasury securities	509,815		—		—		509,815
Corporate debt securities	—		100,105		—		100,105
Preferred stock	—		26,958		—		26,958
Restricted investments:
Guaranteed income fund	—		7,940		—		7,940
	$	529,786	$	135,003	$	—	$	664,789

Money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities and commercial paper are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market and categorized within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Money market funds and commercial paper with a maturity date of ninety days or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Corporate debt securities and preferred stock are measured primarily using pricing data from external pricing services that use prices observed for recently executed market transactions for the corporate debt security or the preferred stock that the Company owns. Corporate debt securities and preferred stock are not traded on a nationally recognized exchange but rather are traded in the U.S. over the counter market where there is less trading activity. For these reasons, the Company has determined that the corporate debt securities and preferred stock are categorized as level 2 financial instruments since their fair values were determined from market inputs in an inactive market.

20

Restricted investments include certain of the surplus assets that were transferred from the Company’s Pension Plan to a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) Plan in December 2014. The Company has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements until they are allocated to participants. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the assets held in the suspense account were invested in the Prudential Guaranteed Income Fund, which is a stable value fund designed to provide safety of principal, liquidity, and a rate of return. The Prudential Guaranteed Income Fund is valued based upon the contributions made to the fund, plus earnings at guaranteed crediting rates, less withdrawals and fees and are categorized as level 2 financial instruments. The Company’s Retirement Plan Investment Committee is responsible for investing decisions and allocation decisions of the suspense account. Refer to Note 15, Employee Benefit Plans.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

• The fair value of the Company’s pledged treasury securities is based on quoted market prices in an active market.

• The fair value of the Company’s retained interest investments is based on the present value of the expected future cash flows at the effective yield.

• The fair value of the Investments held by special purpose entities is based on the present value of future cash flows at the current market rate. See Note 5,Real Estate Sales.

• The fair value of the Investments held by special purpose entities - U.S. Treasury securities are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market. See Note 5,Real Estate Sales.

• The fair value of the Senior Notes held by special purpose entity is based on the present value of future cash flows at the current market rate. See Note 5,Real Estate Sales.

The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows:

	September 30, 2015					December 31, 2014
	Carrying  value		Fair value		Level	Carrying  value		Fair value		Level

Pledged Treasury Securities

In connection with a sale of the Company’s office portfolio in 2007, the Company completed an in-substance defeasance of approximately $29.3 million of mortgage debt that was collateralized by one of the commercial buildings. The Company assigned the mortgage debt and deposited sufficient funds with a trustee solely to satisfy the principal and remaining interest obligations on the mortgage debt when due. The interest yield on the pledged securities and the interest expense on the debt are closely related. The transaction did not qualify as an extinguishment of debt, since the Company was responsible if there had been a shortfall in the funds deposited into the trust, which were invested in government backed securities. The trust was not in the Company’s control and the trustee could not sell the securities prior to maturity. As such, the government backed securities or cash and the related debt (see Note 11,Debt) remained on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The government backed securities or cash were recorded as Pledged cash and treasury securities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

21

In August 2015, the remaining pledged treasury securities matured and were held as restricted cash at September 30, 2015. In October 2015, the trustee made the final balloon payment on the mortgage debt in the amount of $25.3 million, utilizing the pledged treasury securities and cash. There was no shortfall on the payment.

Retained Interest Investments

The Company has a beneficial interest in certain bankruptcy remote qualified special purpose entities (the “2008 SPEs”) used in the installment sale monetization of certain sales of timberlands in 2007 and 2008. The 2008 SPEs’ assets are not available to satisfy the Company’s liabilities or obligations and the liabilities of the 2008 SPEs are not the Company’s liabilities or obligations. In the event that proceeds from the financial instruments are insufficient to settle all of the liabilities of the 2008SPEs, the Company is not obligated to contribute any funds to the 2008 SPEs.The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the 2008 SPEs, since the Company is not the primary decision maker with respect to activities that could significantly impact the economic performance of the 2008 SPEs, nor does the Company perform any service activity related to the 2008 SPEs. Therefore, the 2008 SPEs’ assets and liabilities are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

At the time of monetization the initial retained interest recorded was an estimate based on the present value of future excess cash flows expected to be received over the life of the retained interest, using management’s best estimate of underlying assumptions, including credit risk and discount rates. The Company’s continuing involvement with the 2008 SPEs is the receipt of the net interest payments and the remaining principal of approximately $15.2 million to be received at the end of the installment notes’ fifteen year maturity period, in 2022 through 2024.

The Company has a beneficial or retained interest investment related to the 2008 SPEs of $10.1 million and $9.9 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, recorded in Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has classified its retained interest investment as held-to-maturity because the Company has both the intent and the ability to hold its interest in the 2008 SPEs to maturity. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the retained interest investment at cost, adjusted for the accretion of investment income over the life of the retained interest using the effective yield method with rates ranging from 3.7% to 11.6%. The Company continues to update its expectation of cash flows to be collected over the term of the retained interest. Changes to the previously projected cash flows are accounted for prospectively, unless based on management’s assessment of current information and events, it is determined that there is an other-than-temporary impairment. The Company has not recorded an other-than-temporary impairment related to its retained interest investments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

In the event of a failure and liquidation of the counterparties involved in the installment sales, the Company could be required to write-off the remaining retained interest recorded on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

8. Real Estate Joint Ventures

The Company enters into real estate joint ventures, from time to time, for the purpose of developing real estate in which the Company may or may not have a controlling financial interest. GAAP requires consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb the VIE losses and right to receive benefits that are significant to the VIE. The Company examines specific criteria and uses judgment when determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate a VIE. The Company continues to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary on an ongoing basis.

Consolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures

During 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with a partner to develop a retail lifestyle center at Pier Park North. During 2013, the Company and its partner contributed total cash of approximately $14.4 million to the joint venture, of which the Company contributed $9.5 million, or 66%, and the Company’s partner contributed $4.9 million, or 34%. Additionally, during 2013 the Company contributed land with an agreed upon value of $6.0 million to the joint venture. During 2013, the Company received a cash distribution of $2.3 million as the result of a sale of a portion of the property in the joint venture.

In February 2013, the Pier Park North joint venture entered into a $41.0 million construction loan agreement that would have matured in February 2016 with the possibility of an option for a two year extension (the “Construction Loan”). As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $37.6 million and $31.6 million, respectively, were outstanding on the Construction Loan. In connection with the Construction Loan agreement the Company had entered into certain limited guarantees. In addition, the Company had agreed to maintain minimum liquidity of $25 million and net worth of $350 million under the Construction Loan.

In October 2015, the Pier Park North joint venture refinanced the Construction Loan and entered into a $48.2 million loan. The refinanced loan will accrue interest at a rate of 4.1% per annum and matures in November 2025 (the “Refinanced Loan”). The Refinanced Loan provides for interest only payments during the first twelve months and principal and interest payments thereafter with a final balloon payment at maturity. The Refinanced Loan is secured by a first lien on, and security interest in, a majority of Pier Park North joint venture’s property and a $6.62 million letter of credit.

Upon refinancing of the Construction Loan, $6.3 million was distributed to the Company, including $3.7 million as the remaining return for contributed land. As contemplated by the Pier Park North joint venture’s operating agreement, the remaining distribution was used to rebalance the equity ownership in the joint venture, such that the ownership percentage of the Company and its partner was adjusted to 60% and 40%, respectively.

In connection with the closing of the Refinanced Loan, each of the Pier Park North joint venture partners executed a limited guarantee in favor of the lender, based on their percentage ownership of the joint venture. The limited guarantee covers losses arising out of certain events, including (i) tenant security deposits; (ii) tenant rents; (iii) costs and expenses related to any environmental clean-up; (iv) liability for fraud or material breach of warranty with respect to the financing; (v) unpaid real estate taxes assessed against the property; (vi) failure to maintain required insurance; (vii) foreclosure of the security instrument; or (viii) failure of the joint venture to comply with certain covenants in the security instrument. In addition, the guarantee can become full recourse in the case of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Pier Park North joint venture; any voluntary transfer or encumbrance of the property in violation of the due-on-sale clause in the security instrument; upon commencement of voluntary or insolvency proceedings; and upon breach of covenants in the security instrument. Pursuant to the guarantee, the Pier Park North joint venture partners are required to maintain a minimum of $36 million in combined net worth, not including the value of each partner’s respective equity in the Pier Park North property.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s capital account represents over 73% of the total equity in the joint venture. The Company’s partner is responsible for the day-to-day activities; however, the Company has significant involvement in the design of the related development plan and approves all major decisions including the project development, annual budgets and loan refinancing. The Company has evaluated the VIE consolidation requirements with respect to this transaction and has determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary as the Company has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that are significant to the VIE; therefore, the results of the VIE have been consolidated within the financial results of the Company as of September 30, 2015.

23

In addition, the Company is the primary beneficiary of another real estate joint venture, Artisan Park, L.L.C, that is consolidated within the financial results of the Company. The Company is entitled to 74% of the profits or losses of this VIE. The Company has determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary as it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE; therefore, the results of the VIE have been consolidated within the financial results of the Company. If it is determined by the joint venture’s executive committee that an additional capital contribution is needed, the partners shall be afforded the right, but shall not have the obligation, to make a capital contribution based on the partner’s respective percentage interest.

As of September 30, 2015, the carrying amounts of the real estate VIEs’ assets that are consolidated were $56.8 million and non-recourse liabilities $39.4 million, including debt of $37.6 million, of which the Company has a principal repayment guarantee limited to 33% of the outstanding balance. Each VIE’s assets can only be used to settle obligations of that VIE. Those assets are owned by, and those liabilities are obligations of, that VIE, and not the Company, except for the above described guarantees and covenants.

Unconsolidated Real Estate VIE

As of September 30, 2015, the Company is a partner in ALP Liquidating Trust (“ALP”) that is accounted for using the equity method. The Company has evaluated the VIE consolidation requirements with respect to this joint venture and has determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary, since the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE. The Company is not required to contribute additional funds to ALP.

Summarized financial information for ALP is as follows:

	September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
BALANCE SHEETS:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	14,362	$	15,461
Other assets	58		57

Equity(1)	13,317		14,913
Total liabilities and equity	$	14,420	$	15,518

(1) In 2008 the Company wrote-off its investment in ALP as a result of ALP reserving its assets to satisfy potential claims and obligations in accordance with its publicly reported liquidation basis of accounting. Subsequently, ALP changed its method of accounting to a going concern basis and reinstated its equity and stated it would report certain expenses as they are incurred. The Company has not recorded any additional equity income as a result of the ALP’s change in accounting.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, ALP reported a net loss of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, ALP reported a net loss of $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

11. Debt

Debt consists of the following:

	September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
In-substance defeased debt, interest payable at 5.62%, secured and paid by pledged cash and treasury securities, due October 1, 2015	$	25,324	$	25,670
Community Development District debt, secured by certain real estate and standby note purchase agreements, due through May 2039, interest payable at 2.25% to 7.0%	6,777		6,516
Construction loan in the Pier Park North joint venture, due February 2016, bearing interest at LIBOR plus 210 basis points, or 2.30% and 2.26% at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively	37,625		31,618
Total debt	$	69,726	$	63,804

In connection with the sale of the Company’s office building portfolio in 2007, the Company completed an in-substance defeasance of debt of approximately $29.3 million of mortgage debt, which has a final balloon payment that was made in October 2015. The Company assigned the mortgage debt and deposited sufficient funds with a trustee solely to satisfy the principal and remaining interest obligations on the mortgage debt when due. The indebtedness remained on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 since the transaction was not considered to be an extinguishment of debt because the Company is liable if, for any reason, the government securities were insufficient to repay the debt. In October 2015, the trustee made the final balloon payment on the mortgage debt in the amount of $25.3 million, utilizing the pledged treasury securities and cash. There was no shortfall on the payment.

Community Development District (“CDD”) bonds financed the construction of infrastructure improvements at several of the Company’s projects. The principal and interest payments on the bonds are paid by assessments on, or from sales proceeds of, the properties benefited by the improvements financed by the bonds. The Company has recorded a liability for CDD assessments that are associated with platted property, which is the point at which the assessments become fixed or determinable. Additionally, the Company has recorded a liability for the balance of the CDD assessment that is associated with unplatted property if it is probable and reasonably estimable that the Company will ultimately be responsible for repaying. The Company has recorded debt of $6.8 million and $6.5 million related to CDD assessments as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company’s total outstanding CDD assessments were $22.2 million and $22.7 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company pays interest on the total outstanding CDD assessments.

In February 2013, the Company’s Pier Park North joint venture entered into a Construction Loan agreement for $41.0 million that matures in February 2016 with the possibility of an option for a two year extension. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $37.6 million and $31.6 million, respectively were outstanding on the Construction Loan. See Note 8,Real Estate Joint Ventures. In October 2015, the Pier Park North joint venture refinanced its February 2013 Construction Loan and entered into a $48.2 million loan. The Refinanced Loan will accrue interest at a rate of 4.1% per annum and will mature on November 1, 2025. See Note 8, Real Estate Joint Ventures for details on the Refinanced Loan.

The aggregate maturities of debt subsequent to September 30, 2015 are:

	September 30, 2015
2015	25,324
2016 (1)	37,742
2017	121
2018	126
2019	130
Thereafter	6,283
	$	69,726

(1 ) In October 2015, the Company’s Pier Park North joint venture refinanced its Construction Loan that would have matured in 2016. As a result, $37.6 million will no longer be due in 2016. The Refinanced Loan will mature in November 2025. See Note 8, Real Estate Joint Ventures.

12. Accrued Liabilities and Deferred Credits

Accrued liabilities and deferred credits consist of the following:

	September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Accrued compensation	$	4,983	$	2,673
Deferred revenue	15,484		15,309
Membership deposits	7,731		8,426
Accruals for fees and expenses for the SEC investigation	5,781		—
Other accrued liabilities	9,447		5,651
Accrued interest expense for Senior Notes held by special purpose entity (Note 5)	713		2,852
Total accrued liabilities and deferred credits	$	44,139	$	34,911

Deferred revenue at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 includes $12.5 million related to a 2006 agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell approximately 3,900 acres of rural land to the Florida Department of Transportation (the “FDOT”). Revenue is recognized when title to a specific parcel is legally transferred.

27

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had $5.8 million in accruals for fees and expenses related to the SEC investigation. The amount of $5.8 million includes (i) an accrual of $3.5 million for penalties, disgorgements and interest relating to the SEC investigation and (ii) legal fees related to the SEC investigation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company received correspondence from an insurance carrier related to non-coverage of certain expenses incurred in the SEC investigation and, as a result of this correspondence, the Company recorded $0.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in legal costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 of which $2.3 million had not been paid and was accrued at September 30, 2015. On October 27, 2015, the Company fully resolved the SEC investigation and entered into a settlement pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay penalties, disgorgements and interest of approximately $3.5 million, including a civil penalty assessed on the Company of $2.75 million and other disgorgements and interest subject to indemnification by the Company. See Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies.

13. Income Taxes

Income tax expense differed from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory rate of 35% to pre-tax loss or income as a result of the following:

	Three Months Ended   September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Tax expense (benefit) at the statutory federal rate	$	1,415		$	(180	)	$	996		$	186,428
State income tax expense (benefit) (net of federal benefit)	142			(18		)	100			18,643
Decrease in valuation allowance	(87		)	81			(245		)	(90,083		)
Costs for the SEC investigation	(256		)	—			1,092			—
Other	30			(269		)	91			221
Income tax expense (benefit)	$	1,244		$	(386	)	$	2,034		$	115,209

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had no federal net operating loss carryforwards and had $325.7 million of state net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future taxable income through 2031.

In general, a valuation allowance is recorded if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future years in the appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain a benefit from the reversal of deductible temporary differences and from loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2013, based on the timing of reversal of future taxable amounts and the Company’s history of losses, management did not believe it met the requirements to realize the benefits of certain of its deferred tax assets; therefore, the Company had maintained a valuation allowance of $93.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company reversed $90.1 million of the valuation allowance that was recorded as of December 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2015, management believes it has not met the requirements to realize the benefits for a portion of its deferred tax assets for state net operating loss carryforwards; therefore, the Company has maintained a valuation allowance of $6.0 million for these deferred tax assets.

28

14. Stock Repurchase Program

On August 15, 2015 the Company’s Board of Directors, approved an increase in the number of shares available for repurchase under its stock repurchase program (“Stock Repurchase Program”) of up to $300.0 million (including $93.6 million shares that were remaining and unused from a previous authorization). In addition, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to commence a tender offer for up to $300.0 million at a price of $18.00 per share, pursuant to Rule 10b-18. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company repurchased a total of 16,982,739 shares of its common stock outstanding. This amount included 16,348,143 shares purchased pursuant to a tender offer the Company announced on August 21, 2015, and which expired on September 22, 2015. Pursuant to the tender offer, in September 2015, the Company accepted for purchase 16,348,143 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $18.00 per share, for a total purchase price of $294.3 million. The 16,348,143 shares of common stock repurchased included approximately 100,000 shares which were held in accounts managed by Fairholme Capital.  The respective account holders directed that the shares be tendered into the tender offer, and such shares were repurchased under the same terms as all other shares of common stock repurchased pursuant to the tender offer.  No shares in which Fairholme has a pecuniary interest, or for which Fairholme holds sole dispositive power, were tendered into the tender offer. In addition, prior to the commencement of the tender offer, the Company purchased 634,596 shares of its common stock under its previous Stock Repurchase Program at a weighted average purchase price of $16.03. As of September 30, 2015, there was $5.7 million remaining for purchase of shares under the Company’s Stock Repurchase Program.

In October 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $200.0 million for share repurchases. The Company may repurchase its outstanding common stock in open market purchases from time to time pursuant to Rule 10b-18, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. As a result of the additional authorization, the Company has a total of $205.7 million available for purchase of shares under its Stock Repurchase Program.

15. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company previously sponsored a cash balance defined benefit pension plan that covered substantially all of its salaried employees (the “Pension Plan”). In November 2012, the Board of Directors approved the termination of the Pension Plan. The Pension Plan was frozen in March 2013 pending regulatory approvals, which were received in August 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the Pension Plan assets have been distributed to Pension Plan participants and $7.9 million was distributed to the Company’s 401(k) Plan to pay additional future benefits to current and future 401(k) plan participants for up to the next seven years. Subsequent to these distributions, the remaining Pension Plan assets of $23.8 million were reverted to the Company in December 2014.

A summary of the net periodic pension cost related to the Pension Plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2014		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
Interest cost	$	149	$	496
Expected loss on assets	137		412
Settlement charges	529		969
Amortization of loss	115		373
Net periodic pension cost	$	930	$	2,250

As of September 30, 2014, the assumptions used to develop net periodic pension cost and benefit obligations were the discount rate of 3.75% and expected long-term rate on plan assets of 0%.

29

Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all officers and employees, which permits participants to defer up to the maximum allowable amount determined by the IRS of their eligible compensation.

As part of the Pension Plan termination described above, the Company directed the Pension Plan to transfer $7.9 million of the Pension Plan’s surplus assets into a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) Plan. The Company has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements until they are allocated to participants. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair values of these assets were recorded in Restricted investments on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $7.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively.

The Company expenses the fair value of the assets at the time the assets are allocated to participants, which is expected to be up to the next seven years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded an expense of $0.9 million for the fair value of the assets that were allocated to participants during that period. In addition, any gains and losses on these assets are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and were less than a $0.1 million gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. Refer to Note 7, Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements.

17. Segment Information

The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following five reportable operating segments: 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts and leisure, 4) leasing and 5) forestry. In prior periods the Company’s reportable operating segments were 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts, leisure and leasing operations and 4) forestry. The Company’s leasing operations segment currently meets the quantitative and qualitative factors as a reportable operating segment; therefore, the Company has changed its segment presentation to include leasing operations as a reportable operating segment. Leasing operations were historically included with the Company’s resorts, leisure and leasing operating segment. All prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. The change in reporting segments had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.

The residential real estate segment generates revenues from the development and sale of homes and homesites. The commercial real estate segment sells undeveloped or developed land and commercial operating property. The resort and leisure segment generates revenues and costs from the WaterColor Inn and Resort, vacation rental programs, management of The Pearl Hotel, four golf courses, marina operations and other related resort activities. The leasing segment generates revenues and costs from retail and commercial leasing operations, including the Company’s consolidated joint venture at Pier Park North. The forestry segment produces and sells woodfiber, sawtimber and other forest products and may sell the Company’s timber or rural land holdings.

The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are each managed separately and decisions about allocations of resources are determined by management based on these strategic business units.

The Company uses income from operations before equity in loss from unconsolidated affiliates, income taxes and non-controlling 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 set forth in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in Item 15 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The caption entitled “Other” consists of non-allocated corporate general and administrative expenses, net of investment income.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company establishes an accrued liability when it believes it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company will evaluate the range of reasonably estimated losses and record an accrued liability based on what it believes to be the minimum amount in the range, unless it believes an amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amounts accrued. The Company evaluates quarterly whether further developments could affect the amount of the accrued liability previously established or would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.

The Company also provides disclosure when it believes it is reasonably possible that a loss will be incurred or when it believes it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the recorded liability. The Company reviews loss contingencies at least quarterly to determine whether the likelihood of loss has changed and to assess whether a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss can be made. This estimated range of possible loss is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.

The Company is subject to a variety of litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including litigation related to its prior homebuilding activities and those described herein. The Company cannot assure that it will be successful in defending these matters. Based on current knowledge, the Company does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings, including those described herein, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Company. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.

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 or range of loss can be 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 properties are subject to various Consent Agreements and Brownfield Site Rehabilitation Agreements with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The paper mill site has been rehabilitated by Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation in accordance with these agreements. The Company is in the process of assessing certain adjacent properties. Management is unable to quantify future rehabilitation costs above present accruals at this time or provide a reasonably estimated range of loss.

Other litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings, including environmental matters, are pending against the Company. Accrued aggregate liabilities related to the matters described above and other litigation matters were $1.4 million, excluding the $3.5 million accrual related to the SEC investigation discussed below, at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether the amount of an exposure is reasonably estimable. Due to uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company's results of operations in a given period.    

35

On January 4, 2011 the Company received notice from the Staff (the “Staff”) of the SEC of the initiation of an inquiry into the Company’s policies and practices concerning impairment of investment in real estate assets. In January 2015, the Company received a Wells Notice from the Staff related to historical accounting and disclosure practices and real estate asset valuations principally as reflected in the Company’s financial results for 2010, 2009 and prior periods. In June 2015, the Company established a reserve of $3.5 million for penalties, disgorgements and interest relating to the SEC investigation. On October 27, 2015, the Company fully resolved the SEC investigation and entered into a settlement with the SEC. Without admitting or denying any factual allegations, the Company consented to the SEC’s issuance of an administrative order pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay penalties, disgorgements and interest of approximately $3.5 million, including a civil penalty assessed on the Company of $2.75 million and other disgorgements and interest subject to indemnification by the Company.

The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability and property damage, including our timber assets.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $8.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2015, the Company has a total of $3.1 million in contractual obligations, of which $1.3 million are for the remainder of 2015, $0.9 million are for 2016 and $0.9 million are for 2017 and thereafter.

The Construction Loan entered into by the Pier Park North joint venture required the Company to enter into guarantees and comply with covenants as described in Note 8,Real Estate Joint Ventures. In October 2015, the Company’s Pier Park North joint venture refinanced its Construction Loan and entered into a $48.2 million loan. In connection with the closing of the Refinanced Loan, the Company entered into a limited guarantee in favor of the lender, based on its percentage ownership of the joint venture. The limited guarantee covers losses arising out of certain events, including (i) tenant security deposits; (ii) tenant rents; (iii) costs and expenses related to any environmental clean-up; (iv) liability for fraud or material breach of warranty with respect to the financing; (v) unpaid real estate taxes assessed against the property; (vi) failure to maintain required insurance; (vii) foreclosure of the security instrument; or (viii) failure of the joint venture to comply with certain covenants in the security instrument. In addition, the guarantee can become full recourse in the case of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Pier Park North joint venture; any voluntary transfer or encumbrance of the property in violation of the due-on-sale clause in the security instrument; upon commencement of voluntary or insolvency proceedings; and upon breach of covenants in the security instrument. Pursuant to the guarantee, the Pier Park North joint venture partners are required to maintain a minimum of $36 million in combined net worth, not including the value of each partner’s respective equity in the Pier Park North property.

As part of the AgReserves Sale and certain sales of timberlands in 2007 and 2008, the Company generated significant tax gains. The installment notes structure allowed the Company to defer the resulting tax liability of $61.8 million until 2022 - 2024 and $69.3 million until 2029, respectively, the maturity dates for the installment notes. The Company has a deferred tax liability related to the gains in connection with these sales.

19. Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s real estate investments are concentrated in Northwest Florida in a number of specific development projects. Uncertain economic conditions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s real estate values and could cause the Company to sell assets at depressed values in order to pay ongoing expenses. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, investments, notes receivable, investments held by special purpose entities, investments in retained interests and pledged cash and securities held as collateral for payment of the in-substance defeased debt. The Company deposits and invests cash with a major financial institution in the United States, which balances exceed the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of September 30, 2015, the Company had $234.9 million invested in U.S. Treasury securities, $5.3 million invested in one issuer of corporate debt securities that is non-investment grade and $11.9 million was invested in one issuer of preferred stock that is a financial services firm that is non-investment grade. In addition, as of September 30, 2015, the Company had investments in short term commercial paper from five issuers of $99.0 million.

Item 2.        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business Overview

We are a real estate development and operating company with real estate assets currently concentrated primarily between Tallahassee and Destin, Florida, which we predominantly use, or intend to use, for or in connection with, our various residential or commercial real estate developments, resorts and leisure operations, leasing operations or forestry operations. We have significant residential and commercial land-use entitlements in hand or in process. We seek higher and better uses for our real estate investments and liquid assets. We may explore the sale of assets opportunistically or when we believe they have reached their highest and best use.

We received significant liquid assets as a result of the AgReserves Sale and RiverTown Sale. On August 15, 2015 our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase from time to time up to $300.0 million of our outstanding common stock through open market purchases pursuant to Rule 10b-18, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we repurchased a total of 16,982,739 shares of our common stock outstanding for a total price of $304.9 million, including costs. In October 2015, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $200.0 million for share repurchases. We may repurchase our outstanding common stock in open market purchases from time to time pursuant to Rule 10b-18, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. We will continue to seek additional opportunities to invest the remaining funds that could increase our returns. These investments may include longer term commercial or residential real estate or real estate related investments (in which we may play an active or passive role), investments in real estate investments trusts, and other investments in illiquid securities where we believe we can increase our returns.

Segments

We conduct primarily all of our business in the following five reportable operating segments: 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts and leisure, 4) leasing operations and 5) forestry. In prior periods our reportable operating segments were 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts, leisure and leasing operations and 4) forestry. Our leasing operations segment currently meets the quantitative and qualitative factors as a reportable operating segment; therefore, we have changed its segment presentation to include leasing operations as a reportable operating segment. Leasing operations were historically included with our resorts, leisure and leasing operating segment. All prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. The change in reporting segments has no effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.

38

The following table sets forth the relative contribution of these operating segments to our consolidated operating revenues, excluding revenues of $570.9 million related to the AgReserves Sale and revenues of $43.6 million related to the RiverTown Sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Refer to Note 5, Real Estate Sales, for further information on the AgReserves Sale and RiverTown Sale.

Residential Real Estate

Our residential real estate segment typically plans and develops mixed-use resort, primary and seasonal residential communities of various sizes, primarily on our existing land. The following is a description of some of our major residential development communities in Florida that we are currently in the process of planning and developing:

The WaterSound Origins communityis a residential community in South Walton County, Florida with direct access to Lake Powell. The project has received government approval for approximately 1,164 single family units with an additional multi-family component, however, the actual amount of units that we ultimately approve for development will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meets our risk-adjusted investment return criteria, and the availability of capital resources to fund such development. The WaterSound Origins community includes a six-hole golf course that is operated by our Resorts and Leisure segment.

The Breakfast Point community is a residential community in Panama City Beach, Florida near the Pier Park shopping center. The project has received government approval for 368 single family units, however, the actual amount of units that we ultimately approve for development will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meets our risk-adjusted investment return criteria, and the availability of capital resources to fund such development. 

The SouthWood communityis a large scale, mixed use development community located in the southeastern section of Tallahassee. The project has received government approval for 4,770 residential units, including 2,074 single family residences and 2,696 multi-family units, however, the actual amount of units that we ultimately approve for development will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meets our risk-adjusted investment return criteria, and the availability of capital resources to fund such development. SouthWood also includes an 18-hole golf course and club and a town center with restaurants, retail shops and offices. The SouthWood Golf Club is operated by our Resorts and Leisure segment and a portion of the towncenter is leased and operated by our Leasing segment.

We have other residential communities, such as the WaterColor, WaterSound Beach, WaterSound West Beach and other communities that are substantially developed. The remaining developed and available units in those other communities are available for sale.

39

In addition, we believe that there is a growing retirement demographic in Northwest Florida and that our development experience and the location, size and contiguous nature of our Florida land holdings provide us with strategic opportunities in this demographic. Specifically, the Bay-Walton County Sector Plan (the “Sector Plan”) was officially adopted by Bay County and Walton County in June 2015 and our Sector Plan was found in compliance with state law and is therefore in effect. The Sector Plan is a master plan that includes entitlements, or legal rights, to develop over 170,000 residential units and over 22 million square feet of retail, commercial, and industrial uses on 110,500 acres of our land holdings.  We anticipate a wide range of residential and commercial uses on these land holdings, including some portion of these entitlements serving the active adult retirement market.  As is true with all of our projects, what will actually be developed will be a function of more detailed planning, analysis, and market conditions, which will occur over time.

Our residential real estate segment generates revenues primarily from the sale of developed homesites; the sale of parcels of entitled, undeveloped lots; a lot residual on homebuilder sales that provides us a percentage of the sale price of the completed home if the home price exceeds a negotiated threshold; the sale of impact fee credits; and other fees on certain transactions.

Our residential real estate segment incurs cost of revenues primarily from costs directly associated with the land, development and construction of real estate sold and indirect costs such as development overhead, capitalized interest, marketing, project administration, and selling costs.

Commercial Real Estate

In our commercial real estate segment we plan, develop and entitle our land holdings for a variety of uses including a broad range of retail, office, hotel and industrial uses. We sell land for commercial and light industrial uses. From time to time, our commercial real estate segment may also sell certain properties in our resorts and leisure or leasing operations segments.

Our commercial real estate segment generates revenues from the sale of developed and undeveloped land for retail, office, hotel and industrial uses, from the sale of undeveloped land or land with limited development and easements and the sale of commercial operating properties. Our commercial real estate segment incurs costs of revenues from costs directly associated with the land, development, construction and selling costs.

Resorts and Leisure

Our resorts and leisure segment generates revenues primarily from the WaterColor Inn and vacation rental programs, four golf courses, marina operations and other related resort activities.

WaterColor Inn, Vacation Rentals and Other Management Services– Our WaterColor Inn and vacation rentals include the WaterColor Inn and Resort, our restaurants, vacation rental businesses and management services of The Pearl Hotel. The WaterColor Inn incurs expenses from the cost of services and goods provided, personnel costs and third party management fees. Our vacation rental business generates revenues from the rental of private homes and other services, which includes the entire rental fee collected from the customer, including the homeowner’s portion. A percentage of the fee is remitted to the homeowner and presented in the cost of resorts and leisure revenues. The vacation rental business also incurs expenses from marketing, personnel and general maintenance for the homeowner. Revenues generated from our management services of The Pearl Hotel include a management fee, fifty percent of certain resort fees and a percentage of The Pearl Hotel’s gross operating profit. Expenses include primarily internal administrative costs.

40

Clubs and Resorts – Our clubs and resorts include our golf courses and resort facilities that generate revenues from memberships, daily play at those golf courses that are not part of our St. Joe Club & Resorts, merchandise sales and food and beverage sales and incur expenses from the services provided, maintenance of the golf course facilities, personnel costs and third party management fees. St. Joe Club & Resorts is our private membership club that provides members, participating homeowners and their rental guests access to our clubs.

Marinas – Our marinas generate revenues from boat slip rentals and fuel sales, and incur expenses from cost of services provided, maintenance of the marina facilities, personnel costs and third party management fees.

Leasing Operations

Our leasing operations generate revenues from leasing retail and commercial property, including properties located in our consolidated joint venture at Pier Park North and our industrial park, Venture Crossings, and incur expenses primarily from maintenance of these properties and personnel costs. Our Pier Park North joint venture also incurred interest and financing expenses related to its Construction Loan. In October 2015, our Pier Park North joint venture refinanced its Construction Loan and entered into a $48.2 million loan and will incur interest and financing expenses related to the Refinanced Loan as described in Note 8,Real Estate Joint Ventures.

Forestry

Our forestry segment focuses on the management of our timber holdings in Northwest Florida. We grow and sell sawtimber, wood fiber and forest products and provide land management services for conservation properties. Subsequent to the AgReserves Sale, we have sold and plan to continue to sell product on site without the associated delivery costs.

Our forestry segment may also generate revenues from the sale of our timber holdings, undeveloped land or land with limited development and easements. Costs incurred as part of a sale of these lands may include the cost of timber, land, minimal development costs and selling costs.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed 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, and our accounting estimates are subject to change.

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, 2014. There have been no significant changes in these policies during the first nine months of 2015, however we cannot assure you that these policies will not change in the future.

41

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for recently issued or adopted accounting standards, including the date of adoption and effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Seasonality

Some of our businesses may be affected by seasonal fluctuations. For example, revenues from our resorts and leisure segment are typically higher in the second and third quarters; however, they can vary depending on the timing of holidays and school breaks, including spring break.

In addition to the seasonality effect described above, variability in our results of operations is further heightened by the change in our customer mix in our residential real estate business from some retail sales, which have a more consistent flow of revenues, to predominantly sales to homebuilders, who tend to buy in sporadic, bulk purchases. Our commercial real estate projects are likewise subject to one-off sales and the development of specific projects depending on demand. These variables have caused, and may continue to cause, our operating results to vary significantly from period to period.

42

Results of Operations

Consolidated Results

The following table sets forth a comparison of the results of our operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015and 2014. Our consolidated results of operations are not necessarily comparable from period to period due to the impact of the AgReserves Sale and the RiverTown Sale in 2014.Included in the results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, is pre-tax income of $511.1 million, which includes $1.2 million of severance costs recorded in Other operating and corporate expenses, for the AgReserves Sale and pre-tax income of $26.0 million for the RiverTown Sale. Refer to Note 5, Real Estate Sales, for further information on the AgReserves Sale and the RiverTown Sale.

⁽¹⁾  Calculated percentage of total real estate sales and the respective gross profit percentage.

Real Estate Sales. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, residential real estate sales increased $1.2 million as compared to the same period in 2014. Excluding the RiverTown Sale, residential real estate sales increased $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, there were no commercial real estate sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we had a total of two sales of commercial real estate totaling 10.5 acres for $4.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we had three sales of commercial real estate totaling four acres for $3.3 million.

As our customer base for residential real estate sales has shifted from primarily retail based to being more weighted towards homebuilders who generally buy more homesites in a single transaction but who tend to buy on a more sporadic basis, we believe we will continue to experience greater volatility in the consistency and pace of our residential real estate sales in at least the near future term. In addition, as the mix of homesites that we sell has shifted to homesites in our primary communities, which typically have a lower price and gross profit margin than homesites in our resort communities, we may experience a decrease in our gross profit margin from residential real estate sales.

Included in revenues from real estate sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was revenue of $43.6 million for the RiverTown Sale. In addition, revenues from real estate sales included $5.3 million for the sale of approximately 3,330 acres of rural and timber land during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

44

In addition, included in revenues from real estate sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was revenue of $569.7 million for the AgReserves Sale. Real estate sales for the AgReserves Sale, included the recognition of $11.0 million of revenue, which had been previously recorded as deferred revenue in connection with a 2006 agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation (the “FDOT”) pursuant to which we agreed to sell approximately 3,900 acres of rural land to the FDOT. As part of the AgReserves Sale, we transferred approximately 800 acres that are subject to the 2006 agreement to AgReserves who has agreed to transfer title to the FDOT.

Real Estate Sales Gross Profit. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, gross profit was $2.4 million, or 49.0%, as compared to 46.2% during the same period in 2014. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, gross profit was $12.0 million, or 49.4%, as compared to 86.6%, during the same period in 2014. Our gross profit margin can vary significantly from period to period depending on the type of property sold. Sales of rural and timber land typically have a lower basis than residential and commercial real estate sales. In addition, our basis in residential and commercial real estate can vary depending on the amount of development or other costs spent on the property.

As a result of the AgReserves Sale, we do not expect to have continuing substantial revenues from sales of our timber or rural lands in the future, which typically yield higher gross profit margins than residential and commercial real estate sales, thus also potentially decreasing future gross profit margins.

Leasing revenues	$	2.5		$	2.1		$	6.8		$	4.9
Gross profit	$	1.8		$	1.5		$	4.8		$	3.4

Leasing revenues increased $0.4 million, or approximately 19%, during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. Leasing revenues increased $1.9 million, or 39%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to an increase in revenues from leases in our Pier Park North joint venture during 2014 and 2015.

Timber Sales and Gross Profit.

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
	Dollars in millions
Timber sales	$	1.9		$	1.1		$	6.0		$	10.3
Gross profit	$	1.7		$	0.9		$	5.4		$	6.0
Gross profit margin	89.5		%	81.8		%	90.0		%	58.3		%

Timber sales increased $0.8 million, or 73%, during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to an increase in the amount of tons sold. Tons sold were 109,050 during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to tons sold of 76,186 during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Timber sales decreased $4.3 million, or 42%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to the AgReserves Sale, which closed on March 5, 2014. In addition, timber sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, included $1.1 million of deferred revenue related to an imputed land lease that was to be recognized over the life of the timber deeds sold in March 2011. We sold substantially all the land included in the imputed lease as part of the AgReserves Sale and recognized the remaining deferred revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. As expected, our timber sales and related costs decreased following the AgReserves Sale. In addition, subsequent to the AgReserves Sale, we have primarily sold product on site without the associated delivery costs, which has increased our timber sales gross profit margin.

Other operating and corporate expenses. Other operating and corporate expenses increased by $3.4 million, or 52%, during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to increased employee costs and spending strategic to our mixed-use and active adult communities, including non-recurring expenses related to the approval of the Sector Plan.

46

Other operating and corporate expenses increased by $2.4 million, or 11%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in other operating and corporate expenses is primarily due to increased spending strategic to our mixed-use and active adult communities, including non-recurring expenses related to the approval of the Sector Plan. These increases are partially offset by $1.2 million of severance costs associated with the AgReserves Sale that were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and lower real estate carrying costs.

Administrative costs associated with special purpose entities. Administrative costs associated with special purpose entities of $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, include one-time administrative costs associated with the monetization of the Timber Note. See Note 5, Real Estate Sales.

Investment income, net. Investment income, net primarily includes (i) interest and dividends earned, realized gains and losses and the accretion of the net discount from our available-for-sale investments, (ii) interest earned on mortgage notes receivable and (iii) interest income earned on the time deposit held by the AgReserves SPE. See Note 5, Real Estate Sales, for further information on the AgReserves Sale.

Investment income, net increased $5.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, due to an increase of $6.0 million from our available-for-sale securities, primarily due to the sale of certain corporate debt securities at a realized gain of $5.3 million.

Investment income, net increased $12.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, due to (i) an increase of $10.0 million from our available-for-sale securities, primarily due to the sale of certain corporate debt securities at a realized gain of $5.3 million, (ii) $2.1 million from interest earned on the time deposit held by the AgReserves SPE. See Note 5, Real Estate Sales, for further information on the AgReserves Sale and (iii) $1.5 million increase in interest and dividends primarily due to the increased investment balances since the AgReserves Sale and RiverTown Sale.

Interest expense. Interest expense primarily includes interest expense on our CDD assessments, the Senior Notes issued by NFTF in April 2014 in connection with the AgReserves Sale and the Construction Loan for our consolidated Pier Park North joint venture. See Note 5, Real Estate Sales, for further information on the AgReserves Sale.

Interest expense decreased $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. Interest expense increased $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to an increase in interest expense of $2.2 million for the Senior Notes issued by NFTF and interest expense on the Construction Loan for our Pier Park North joint venture.

Other, net. Other, net decreased $0.2 million and $8.0 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to a total of $7.9 million of expenses recorded related to the SEC investigation. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we expensed a total of $0.5 million and $7.9 million related to the SEC investigation. The $7.9 million of fees and expenses for the SEC investigation consisted of (i) an accrual of $3.5 million for penalties, disgorgements and interest relating to the SEC investigation and (ii) legal expenses associated with the SEC investigation. On October 27, 2015, we fully resolved the SEC investigation and entered into a settlement with the SEC. Without admitting or denying any factual allegations, we consented to the SEC’s issuance of an administrative order pursuant to which we agreed to pay penalties, disgorgements and interest of approximately $3.5 million, including a civil penalty assessed on us of $2.75 million and other disgorgements and interest subject to indemnification by us. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we received correspondence from an insurance carrier related to non-coverage of certain fees and expenses incurred in the SEC investigation and, as a result of this correspondence, we recorded $0.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in legal costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. See Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies.

Income tax expense.Income tax expense. We recorded income tax expense of $1.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to tax benefit of $0.4 million during the same period in 2014. Our effective tax rate was 31.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to 71.2% during the same period in 2014.

We recorded income tax expense of $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to tax expense of $115.2 million during the same period in 2014. Our effective tax rate was 72.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to 21.6% during the same period in 2014.

Our effective rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, reflected our expectation that approximately $2.8 million of the settlements costs related to the SEC investigation may not be deductible for income tax purposes.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

Revenues from leasing operations increased $0.4 million, or 19%, during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. Revenues from leasing operations increased $1.9 million, or 39%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014

Revenues from timber sales increased by approximately $0.8 million to $1.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $1.1 million in the same period in 2014, primarily due to an increase in prices and the amount of tons sold. Tons sold were 109,050 during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to 76,186 during the three months ended September 30, 2014. Gross margin increased during three months ended September 30, 2015, to 89.5%, as compared to 81.8% during the same period in 2014.

Other income consists primarily of income from hunting leases.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

On March 5, 2014, we completed the AgReserves Sale and recorded $569.7 million in revenues from real estate sales, which included the recognition of $11.0 million of revenue, which had been previously recorded as deferred revenue in connection with a 2006 agreement with the FDOT pursuant to which we agreed to sell approximately 3,900 acres of rural land to the FDOT. As part of the AgReserves Sale, we transferred approximately 800 acres that are subject to the 2006 agreement to AgReserves who has agreed to transfer title to the FDOT. As a result, we recognized $11.0 million of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2014. In addition, we recorded cost of sales of $58.4 million related to the AgReserves Sale, which included our carrying value for land, timber and property of $48.7 million and closing costs of $9.8 million.

Revenues from timber sales decreased by approximately $4.3 million, or 42%, to $6.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $10.3 million in the same period in 2014, primarily due to the AgReserves Sale which closed on March 5, 2014. Tons sold were 337,589 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to 368,973 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, timber sales also include $1.1 million of deferred revenue related to an imputed land lease that was to be recognized over the life of the timber deeds sold in March 2011. We sold substantially all the land included in the imputed lease as part of the AgReserves Sale and recognized the remaining deferred revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Gross margin, excluding the recognition of the deferred revenue from the imputed lease, increased during nine months ended September 30, 2015, to 90.0%, as compared to 58.3% during the same period in 2014. Subsequent to the AgReserves Sale, we have primarily sold product on site without the associated delivery costs, which has increased our gross profit margin.

In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we sold approximately 3,330 acres of rural and timber land for $5.3 million.

Other income consists primarily of income from hunting leases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $157.9 million, compared to $34.5 million as of December 31, 2014. Our cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2015 includes commercial paper of $99.0 million. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, we consider our investments classified as available-for-sale securities, especially our investments in U.S. Treasury securities, as being generally available to meet our liquidity needs. Securities classified as available-for-sale securities are not as liquid as cash and cash equivalents, but they are generally convertible into cash within a relatively short period of time.

Fairholme Capital Management, L.L.C., or one of its affiliates (“Fairholme Capital”) has served as our investment advisor since April 2013. Fairholme Capital receives no compensation for services to us. As of September 30, 2015, the funds managed by Fairholme Capital beneficially owned approximately 32.5% of our common stock. Mr. Bruce Berkowitz is the Managing Member of Fairholme Capital and the Chairman of our Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Management Agreement as amended (the “Agreement”), with Fairholme Capital, Fairholme Capital agreed to supervise and direct the investments of an investment account established by us in accordance with the investment guidelines and restrictions approved by the Investment Committee of our Board of Directors. The investment guidelines are set forth in the Agreement and require that, as of the date of any investment: (i) at least 50% of the investment account be held in cash or cash equivalents, as defined in the Agreement, (ii) no more than 15% of the investment account may be invested in securities of any one issuer (excluding the U.S. Government) and (iii) any investment in any one issuer (excluding the U.S. Government) that exceeds 10%, but not 15%, requires the consent of at least two members of the Investment Committee. The investment account may not be invested in common stock securities.

As of September 30, 2015, the investment account included $30.9 million of money market funds and commercial paper of $99.0 million (all of which are classified within cash and cash equivalents on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets), $234.9 million of U.S. Treasury securities, $5.3 million of corporate debt securities and $11.9 million of preferred stock investments (all of which are classified within investments on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets). The issuer of the corporate debt securities is a national retail chain that is non-investment grade and the issuer of our preferred stock investment is a financial services firm that is non-investment grade.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, short term investments and cash generated from operations, will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our anticipated working capital needs, future capital expenditures and principal and interest payments on our long term debt for the next twelve months.

Our real estate investment strategy focuses on projects that meet our risk adjusted investment return criteria. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we incurred a total of $13.2 million for capital expenditures, which includes $5.5 million related to the Pier Park North joint venture, which is included in our leasing operations segment, $2.0 million related primarily to our resorts and leisure segment, $1.3 million related primarily to our forestry and corporate segments and $4.4 million related to the development of our residential real estate projects, which includes $0.4 million in planning costs for our mixed-use and active adult communities.

Our remaining budgeted capital expenditures for 2015 are estimated to be $4.1 million, which includes $3.5 million primarily for the development and acquisition of land for our residential and commercial real estate projects of which $0.7 million is for our mixed-use and active adult communities and $0.6 million for our forestry and other segments. A portion of this spending is discretionary and will only be spent if we believe the risk adjusted return warrants. We anticipate that these future capital commitments will be funded through our cash and cash equivalents, short term investments and cash generated from operations.

In February 2013, the Pier Park North joint venture entered into a $41.0 million construction loan agreement that would have matured in February 2016 at which time there would have been an option for a two year extension (the “Construction Loan”). As of September 30, 2015, $37.6 million was outstanding on the Construction Loan. Interest on the Construction Loan was based on LIBOR plus 210 basis points, or 2.30% at September 30, 2015. The Construction Loan required us to enter into guarantees and comply with covenants as described in Note 8,Real Estate Joint Ventures.

In October 2015, the Pier Park North joint venture refinanced its Construction Loan and entered into a $48.2 million loan (the “Refinanced Loan”). The Refinanced Loan will accrue interest at a rate of 4.1% per annum and matures in November 2025. The Refinanced Loan provides for interest only payments during the first twelve months and principal and interest payments on the Refinanced Loan thereafter with a final balloon payment at maturity. The Refinanced Loan is secured by a first lien on, and security interest in, a majority of the Pier Park North joint venture’s property and a $6.62 million letter of credit. In connection with the Refinanced Loan, we entered into a limited guarantee in favor of the lender, based on our percentage ownership of the joint venture. The limited guarantee covers losses arising out of certain events, including (i) tenant security deposits; (ii) tenant rents; (iii) costs and expenses related to any environmental clean-up; (iv) liability for fraud or material breach of warranty with respect to the financing; (v) unpaid real estate taxes assessed against the Property; (vi) failure to maintain required insurance; (vii) foreclosure of the security instrument; or (viii) failure of the joint venture to comply with certain covenants in the security instrument. In addition, the guarantee can become full recourse in the case of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Pier Park North joint venture; any voluntary transfer or encumbrance of the property in violation of the due-on-sale clause in the security instrument; upon commencement of voluntary or insolvency proceedings; and upon breach of covenants in the security instrument. Pursuant to the guarantee, the Pier Park North joint venture partners are required to maintain a minimum of $36 million in combined net worth, not including the value of each partner’s respective equity in the Pier Park North property. See Note 8,Real Estate Joint Ventures.

CDD bonds financed the construction of infrastructure improvements at several of our projects. The principal and interest payments on the bonds are paid by assessments on, or from sales proceeds of, the properties benefited by the improvements financed by the bonds. We have recorded a liability for CDD assessments that are associated with platted property, which is the point at which the assessments become fixed or determinable. Additionally, we have recorded a liability for the balance of the CDD assessment that is associated with unplatted property if it is probable and reasonably estimable that we will ultimately be responsible for repaying. We have recorded debt of $6.8 million related to CDD debt as of September 30, 2015. Our total outstanding CDD assessments were $22.2 million at September 30, 2015, which was comprised of $18.4 million at SouthWood, $3.1 million at the existing Pier Park mall and $0.7 million at Wild Heron.

As part of the Pension Plan termination in December 2014, $7.9 million of the Pension Plan’s surplus assets were transferred into a suspense account in our 401(k) Plan. We have retained the risk and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, assets held in the suspense account are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements until they are allocated to participants. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair values of these assets were recorded in Restricted investments on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $7.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively. These assets are expected to fund future benefits to 401(k) Plan participants for up to the next seven years and will be expensed when allocated to participants.

As part of the AgReserves Sale and certain sales of timberlands in 2007 and 2008, we generated significant tax gains. The installment notes structure we used in connection with these sales has allowed us to defer the resulting tax liability of $61.8 million until 2022 through 2024 and $69.3 million until 2029, which is when the installment notes mature. As a result, we have recorded a deferred tax liability related to the gains in connection with these sales.

58

We may repurchase our shares of common stock from time to time after considering market conditions and in accordance with repurchase limits authorized by our Board of Directors. Through June 30, 2015, the Board of Directors had authorized a total of $950.0 million for the repurchase of outstanding common stock from shareholders. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we purchased 634,596 shares of our common stock under our Stock Repurchase Program at an average weighted price of $16.03. On August 15, 2015 our Board of Directors authorized a total of $300.0 million (including $93.6 million shares that were remaining and unused from the previous authorization). On August 21, 2015, we announced a tender offer which expired on September 22, 2015. Pursuant to the tender offer, in September 2015, we accepted for purchase 16,348,143 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $18.00 per share, for a total purchase price of $294.3 million. The 16,348,143 shares of common stock repurchased included approximately 100000 shares (which were deemed to be beneficially owned by Fairholme Capital pursuant to Securities Exchange Act) that the ultimate beneficiary of the shares directed be tendered under the same terms as all other shares of common stock repurchased pursuant to the tender offer. No shares in which Fairholme has a pecuniary interest, or for which Fairholme holds sole dispositive power, were tendered into the tender offer. As of September 30, 2015, the remaining authorization would have allowed us to repurchase up to $5.7 million of our common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program. There is no expiration date on the Stock Repurchase Program.

In addition, in October 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $200.0 million for share repurchases. We may repurchase our stock in open market purchases from time to time pursuant to Rule 10b-18, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and amount of any additional shares to be repurchased will depend upon a variety of factors, including market and business conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. Repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice. The Stock Repurchase Program will continue until otherwise modified or terminated by our Board of Directors at any time in our sole discretion.

Summary of Cash Flows

	Nine Months Ended   September 30,
	2015			2014
	(In millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	35.6		$	322.9

Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of the period	34.5			21.9
Cash and cash equivalents at end of the period	$	157.9		$	61.6

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities include costs related to assets ultimately planned to be sold, including residential real estate development and related amenities, sales of timberlands or undeveloped and developed land, our forestry operations and land developed by the commercial real estate segment. Net cash provided by operations was $35.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $322.9 million during the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of the AgReserves Sale. In addition, we received $19.6 million from the RiverTown Note during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, capital expenditures related to assets ultimately planned to be sold were $5.4 million and consisted of $4.4 million relating to our residential and commercial real estate segments and $1.0 million for our forestry segment. The expenditures relating to our residential real estate and commercial real estate segments were primarily for site infrastructure development, general amenity construction, commercial land development and acquisition of property.

59

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities primarily includes purchases and sales of investments, investments in assets held by special purpose entities, capital expenditures incurred by our Pier Park North joint venture for property to be held and used in the joint venture’s operations and capital expenditures for property and equipment used in our operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, cash flows provided by investing activities were $387.0 million, which includes our total net sales, maturities and purchases of investments of $394.0 million.

In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, capital expenditures incurred by our Pier Park North joint venture were $5.5 million which were reported in our leasing operations segment and capital expenditures for other property and equipment were $2.3 million, which were primarily for our resorts and leisure segment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities were $299.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, of which $304.9 million were for the repurchase of our common stock. The remaining cash used in financing activities were for borrowings on the Pier Park North joint venture Construction Loan and principal payments for CDD assessments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In February 2013, the Pier Park North joint venture entered into a Construction Loan agreement for $41.0 million that would have matured in February 2016. As of September 30, 2015, $37.6 million was outstanding on the Construction Loan. Pursuant to the Construction Loan agreement we entered into guarantees and agreed to comply with covenants as described in Note 8,Real Estate Joint Ventures.

In October 2015, the Pier Park North joint venture refinanced its Construction Loan and entered into a $48.2 million loan. The Refinanced Loan will accrue interest at a rate of 4.1% per annum and matures in November 2025. The Refinanced Loan provides for interest only payments during the first twelve months and principal and interest payments thereafter with a final balloon principal payment at maturity of the Refinanced Loan. In connection with the Refinanced Loan, we entered into a limited guarantee and are required to comply with a financial covenant as described in Note 8,Real Estate Joint Ventures.

During 2008 and 2007, we received a fifteen year installment notes receivable in the aggregate amount of $183.3 million for the sales of certain timberland (the “2008 installment notes”). The 2008 installment notes are fully backed by irrevocable letters of credit issued by Wachovia Bank, N.A. (now a subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company). We contributed the 2008 installment notes to bankruptcy remote qualified special purpose entities (the “2008 SPEs”).

During 2008 and 2007, the 2008 SPEs monetized the installment notes by issuing debt securities to third party investors. The debt securities are payable solely out of the assets of the entities and proceeds from the letters of credit. The investors in the 2008 SPEs have no recourse against us for payment of the debt securities or related interest expense. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of the 2008 SPEs, since we are not the primary decision maker with respect to activities that could significantly impact the economic performance of the 2008 SPEs’, nor do we perform any service activity related to the 2008 SPEs’. Therefore, the 2008 SPEs’ assets and liabilities are not consolidated in our financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

We have recorded a retained interest with respect to our investment in the 2008 SPEs of $10.1 million for the 2008 installment notes monetized. This balance represents the present value of future cash flows to be received over the life of the 2008 installment notes, using management’s best estimates of underlying assumptions, including credit risk and interest rates as of the date of the monetization, plus the accretion of investment income based on an effective yield, which is recognized over the term of the notes, less actual cash receipts. We continue to update the expectation of cash flows to be collected over the term of the 2008 installment notes, of which approximately $15.2 million is expected to be received at the end of the 2008 installment notes fifteen year maturity period, in 2022 through 2024. Changes to the previously projected cash flows are accounted for prospectively, unless based on management’s assessment of current information and events, it is determined that there is an other-than-temporary impairment. We have not recorded an other-than-temporary impairment related to our retained interest investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks primarily from interest rate risk fluctuations. We have investments in corporate debt securities that have fixed interest rates for which changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the investment, but not the earnings or cash flows. In addition, our investments in corporate debt securities are non-investment grade, which could affect their fair value and could materially impact our results of operations if a decline in their value is determined to be other-than-temporary. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $1.5 million in the market value of our available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2015. Any realized gains or losses resulting from such interest rate changes would only occur if we sold the investments prior to maturity.

Our cash and cash equivalents are invested in demand deposit and money market instruments. Changes in interest rates related to these investments would not significantly impact our results of operations. The amount of interest earned on one of our retained interest investments is based LIBOR. A 1% change in the interest rate may result in an insignificant change in interest earned on the investment. Our treasury securities are invested in U.S. government treasury securities and do not bear market risk.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under 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 were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the quarter ended September 30, 2015 there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting 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

On January 4, 2011 we received notice from the Staff of the SEC of the initiation of an inquiry into our policies and practices concerning impairment of investment in real estate assets and on June 24, 2011 the SEC issued to us a related order of private investigation. On January 20, 2015, we received a Wells Notice from the Staff related to historical accounting and disclosure practices and real estate asset valuations principally as reflected in our financial results for 2010, 2009 and prior periods. On February 20, 2015, we submitted to the Staff a Wells submission and subsequently engaged in discussions with the Staff concerning a settlement of its investigation, with which we cooperated.

On October 27, 2015, we fully resolved the SEC investigation and entered into a settlement with the SEC. Without admitting or denying any factual allegations, we consented to the SEC’s issuance of an administrative order pursuant to which we agreed to pay penalties, disgorgements and interest of approximately $3.5 million, including a civil penalty assessed on us of $2.75 million and other disgorgements and interest subject to indemnification by us. The settlement and all allegations relate to actions taken prior to the 2011 replacement of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. None of the SEC's allegations, findings, sanctions, remedies or orders relate to any of our current directors or controlling shareholders.

Exhibit 10.60

SEPARATE GUARANTY OF
RETAINED LIABILITY MATTERS

This Separate Guaranty of Retained Liability Matters (this "Guaranty") is made as of the 19^th day of October, 2015 (the "Effective Date"), by DON M. CASTO III, an individual ("Casto"), KENSINGTON GARDENS BUILDERS CORP., a Delaware corporation ("Kensington"), and THE ST. JOE COMPANY, a Florida corporation ("St. Joe") (collectively, Casto, Kensington and St. Joe shall be known as "Guarantor"), in favor of KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, and its successors and assigns (the "Lender").

For and in consideration of premises set forth herein, in order to induce the Lender to make a loan in the amount of Forty-Eight Million Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($48,200,000.00) (the "Loan") to PANAMA CITY BEACH VENTURE II, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the "Borrower"), which Loan is evidenced by that certain Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated of even date herewith (the "Note") made by Borrower in favor of Lender, as payee thereunder, and secured by that certain Amended and Restated Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated of even date herewith (the "Security Instrument" capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Security Instrument), from the Borrower, as mortgagor, in favor of Lender, as mortgagee, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

1.GUARANTEE OF RETAINED LIABILITY MATTERS

Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt payment of any and all costs, losses, damages and reasonable attorney's fees actually incurred or suffered by Lender in connection with those certain Retained Liability Matters (as defined and set forth in the Note). Guarantor's personal liability for Retained Liability Matters set forth above shall survive foreclosure of the Security Instrument securing the Note (or the acquisition of the property given as security for the Note by Lender by a deed in lieu of foreclosure).

Guarantor acknowledges that the Loan is made solely for business purposes and that the Guarantor will be liable for a deficiency judgment after any foreclosure or proceeding under the Florida power of sale statute, or deed in lieu of foreclosure that the Lender elects to prosecute or accept, to the extent that liability for the Retained Liability Matters have remained unsatisfied. Any such deficiency or any judgment therefor shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as such term is defined in the Note) from and after the date of such foreclosure or the Lender's or its affiliate's acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof until and including the date the deficiency or judgment is paid.

2.INDEMNITY AND HOLD HARMLESS

In addition to the guaranty herein contained, Guarantor agrees to indemnify the Lender and hold it harmless, to the extent of the Lender's actual damages and losses, with respect to any circumstance or event comprising a Retained Liability Matter. This obligation includes the

protection of the Lender from, and the defense of the Lender against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, penalties or other assertions of liability arising as a result of or in connection with the Retained Liability Matters, and the indemnification of the Lender from and against all out-of-pocket costs and expenses sustained by the Lender in enforcing this Guaranty, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.

3.CONDITIONAL GUARANTEE OF ENTIRE INDEBTEDNESS

Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined), in the event of any of the Full Liability Matters (as defined and set forth in the Note). Guarantor's personal liability for Full Liability Matters set forth above shall survive foreclosure of the Security Instrument securing the Note (or the acquisition of the property given as security for the Note by Lender by a deed in lieu of foreclosure). The word "Guaranteed Indebtedness" is used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes (a) the indebtedness evidenced by the Note; (b) any and all existing and future obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents and any and all other existing and future obligations and liabilities of Borrower made, incurred or created in connection with the transaction to which the Loan Documents relate, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, voluntary or involuntary, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, whether Borrower may be liable individually or jointly with others, whether recovery upon such indebtedness may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations, or whether such indebtedness may be or hereafter become invalid or otherwise unenforceable; (c) any and all amendments, modifications, renewals and/or extensions of any of the foregoing, including without limitation amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions which are evidenced by a new or additional instrument, document or agreement or which change the rate of interest on any such indebtedness; and (d) any and all interest that accrues on all, or any part of such indebtedness after the filing of any petition or pleading by or against Borrower for a proceeding under any chapter or provision of any present or future federal bankruptcy legislation or amendments thereto.

This Guaranty is not a guarantee of collection, but rather is an irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, continuing guarantee of payment and performance. In this regard, the Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee set forth in this Guaranty may not be revoked as to any present or future advances to or existing or additional liability incurred by the Borrower under the terms of the Note or any other Loan Document. The guarantee set forth in this Section shall terminate when the Note and the indebtedness evidenced thereby has been paid in full.

Guarantor hereby recognizes and acknowledges that Guarantor will derive substantial economic benefit from the loan from Lender to Borrower in accordance with said Note and Security Instrument and, in consideration therefore, Guarantor has agreed to enter into this Guaranty as Guarantor.

4.REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Lender as follows:

(a) The execution and performance of this Guaranty and all guaranties, indemnities and covenants herein will not result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, any contract, guarantee, document or other instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor may be bound or affected, and do not and will not violate or contravene any law to which the Guarantor is subject; nor do any such other instruments impose or contemplate any obligations which are or will be inconsistent with this Guaranty.

(b) No approval by, authorization of, or filing with any federal, state or municipal or other governmental commission, board or agency or other governmental authority is necessary in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Guaranty.

(c) This Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

(d) All financial information furnished by the Guarantor to Lender is true, correct and complete in all material respects and does not omit to state any material fact or circumstance necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

(e) The financial statement of the Guarantor furnished to Lender is true and accurate in all material respects as of its date. Subject to changes resulting from the consummation of the tender offer by The St. Joe Company to its shareholder dated August 24, 2015, there has been no material adverse change in the Guarantor's financial condition since the date of the financial statement.

(f) Guarantor is not the subject of any bankruptcy court filing, insolvency proceeding, receivership, composition or assignment for the benefit of creditors.

(g) There are no material actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened against or affecting Guarantor that have not been disclosed to Lender or reported in SEC filings as to The St. Joe Company.

5.FINANCIAL REPORTS

On or before March 31 of each year during the term of the Loan, Guarantor shall deliver to the Lender copies of its financial statements. The Guarantor shall certify that such statements are true and correct, and are based upon records compiled in conformity with recognized accounting practices, consistently applied, and in form and substance consistent with those provided to Lender in anticipation of the consummation of the Loan. Lender expressly reserves the right to require such a certification by an independent certified public accountant if a Default (as defined in Section 7

below) has occurred which is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as The St. Joe Company remains a public company, financial reporting as to The St. Joe Company shall be limited to financial filings with the Securities Exchange Commission that are available to the public.

6.FINANCIAL COVENANT

At all times during the term of the Loan, the Guarantor shall collectively maintain a combined aggregate net worth (not including the value of the Guarantor's equity in the property given as security for the Loan) equal to $36,000,000.00 (the "Guarantor Net Worth Requirement"). The Guarantor covenants and agrees not to deliberately transfer assets or incur liabilities for less than adequate and full consideration if the effect of such transactions would be to reduce Guarantor's net worth below the Guarantor Net Worth Requirement.

7.DEFAULT

A "Default" shall exist under this Guaranty if any of the following events occur:

(a) Guarantor shall fail to pay any monetary payment resulting from the Guaranty within five (5) business days after written notice from the Lender.

(b) Guarantor shall fail to perform, observe, or comply with any non-monetary covenant under this Guaranty, other than those specifically identified below in this Section 7, within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Lender demanding such performance, observance, or compliance.

(c) Guarantor shall file a petition in bankruptcy or for relief from creditors under any present or future law that affords general protection from creditors; or any other person shall file an involuntary petition in bankruptcy against Guarantor; or the filing of any other action that may result in a composition of debts, provide for the marshaling of assets for the satisfaction of Guarantor's debts, or result in the judicially ordered sale of assets for the purpose of satisfying obligations to creditors (unless a motion for the dismissal of the petition or other action is filed within ten (10) days and results in its dismissal within sixty (60) days of the filing of the petition or other action).

(d) The dissolution, liquidation or winding up of a Guarantor that is not a natural person shall commence, or its legal existence shall cease, or a Guarantor who is a natural person shall die; provided, however, that a Default under this clause (d) shall not have occurred if (i) the Lender is promptly advised of the event, (ii) either (A) any remaining Guarantor(s) satisfy the Guarantor Net Worth Requirement, or (B) the Borrower succeeds in obtaining a replacement Guarantor(s) acceptable to Lender, in its sole discretion (whether one or more, a "Replacement Guarantor"), within ninety (90) days of the subject event; and (iii) any Replacement Guarantor jointly and severally assumes the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity, in a written agreement provided by Lender, so that all Replacement Guarantors in the aggregate (combined with any remaining Guarantors,

if applicable) meet the Guarantor Net Worth Requirement. If required for the determination of compliance with the Guarantor Net Worth Requirement, any prospective replacement Guarantor shall have the burden of proving its compliance by providing current financial statements.

(e) The failure of the Guarantors to maintain the Guarantor Net Worth Requirement; provided, however, the Borrower and/or the Guarantors shall have the right to cure any such net worth deficiency by replacing and/or adding one or more Replacement Guarantor(s) within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice from Lender of the failure of Guarantors to meet the Guarantor Net Worth Requirement.

8.APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS

All payments with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note received by the Lender from the Borrower, or any party other than the Guarantor, may be applied by the Lender to the indebtedness in such manner and order as the Lender desires, in its sole discretion, whether or not such application reduces the liability of the Guarantor with respect to the Retained Liability Matters. If a foreclosure sale of the Property takes place, the proceeds of the sale (whether received in cash or by credit bid) shall be applied first to reduce that portion of the indebtedness which is not guaranteed under this Guaranty.

9.UNSECURED OBLIGATION

This Guaranty is not secured by any of the Loan Documents securing the Loan or by any other collateral.

10.WAIVERS

10.1 SUBROGATION RIGHTS AGAINST BORROWER

The Guarantor waives (a) any right of reimbursement, subrogation, exoneration, contribution, or indemnity from or by the Borrower with respect to the satisfaction by the Guarantor of any obligation of the Borrower until such time as all obligations of Borrower to Lender have been paid in full, and (b) any "claim," as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code, which the Guarantor might now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower by virtue of the Guarantor's performance of any obligation of the Borrower. In connection with the waiver set forth in clause (a), the Guarantor expressly waives (i) any and all rights to subrogation to the Lender against the Borrower and (ii) any rights to enforce any remedy which the Lender may have against the Borrower and any right to participate in any collateral for the Loan until such time as all obligations of Borrower to Lender have been paid in full. In addition, the Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owed to the Guarantor to all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender, and covenants with the Lender not to demand or accept any payment of principal or interest on any such indebtedness while any default exists under the terms of any of the Loan Documents.

10.2 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS GUARANTY IS HEREBY WAIVED BY GUARANTOR, AND IT IS AGREED BY GUARANTOR THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

10.3 MARSHALING OF ASSETS

Guarantor waives any right to cause a marshaling of the Borrower's assets.

10.4 HOMESTEAD LAWS AND EXEMPTIONS

Guarantor waives all rights and exemptions under homestead and similar laws.

10.5 PROTEST, DEMAND, DISHONOR

Guarantor waives all rights of protest, demand, dishonor, presentment or any other notices or demands which might otherwise be required by any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect with respect to this Guaranty or any of the Retained Liability Matters.

10.6 ADDITIONAL WAIVERS

Guarantor waives (A) any defense based upon the Lender's election of any remedy, (B) any defense of the statute of limitations and (C) any defense based on the Lender's failure to disclose any information concerning the financial condition of the Borrower or any other circumstances bearing on the ability of the Borrower to pay and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, or the Lender's failure to provide notice of any act or omission by the Borrower from which any liability for a Retained Liability Matter may have arisen.

11.MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 INDEPENDENCE OF OBLIGATIONS

Guarantor shall be fully and personally liable for the Retained Liability Matters, and the Lender shall be entitled to maintain an independent action against the Guarantor regardless of whether Lender has commenced or completed any action against the Borrower or the Property. Guarantor disclaims any status as beneficiaries of any obligation of the Lender to the Borrower to provide notice of default under the Loan Documents. If the Lender has initiated any action against the Borrower to enforce the Loan Documents, the Lender may join Guarantor or refrain from doing so, at its sole and absolute discretion. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be reinstated with respect to any amount at any time paid to Lender by the Borrower on account of the Retained Liability Matters which shall thereafter be required to be restored or returned by the Lender upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Guarantor other than the party against whom the Lender has sought to enforce this Guaranty, as though such amount had

not been paid. Except as expressly agreed in writing by the Lender, Guarantor's liability for the Retained Liability Matters shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or otherwise affected by (a) the reconveyance of the interest created by the Security Instrument (b) the consent by the Lender to any transfer of a direct or indirect interest in the Property (whether through sale of the Property, transfers of interests in the Borrower, or a change in the form of business organization of the Borrower), or (c) any forbearance by the Lender to exercise any rights under the Loan Documents, unless those rights are expressly waived or modified in a written instrument duly executed by the Lender.

11.2 OFFSETS AND DEFENSES

No liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or otherwise affected by any existing or future offset, claim, or defense of the Guarantor against the Lender. No liability of any Guarantor shall be affected because the liability of any other guarantor is limited, impaired or released by reason of a trustee's sale or any other agreement is made or remedy is exercised by Lender, whether such limitation, impairment or release results from such person also being the Borrower or liable by reason of being any entity, natural person or general partner comprising Borrower or otherwise.

11.3 NOTICES

All notices hereunder shall be in writing at the addresses set for below. All notices to be given hereunder may be given by any of the following means: (i) personal service, or (ii) overnight delivery by a reliable courier service. Written notice shall be deemed effective if by personal service or overnight delivery, upon delivery or first attempted delivery.

11.4 ENTIRE GUARANTY AND MODIFICATION

This Guaranty contains the entire agreement of the Guarantor relating to the subject matter hereof, and all prior guaranties relative hereto which are not contained herein are hereby terminated. This Guaranty may not be amended, revised, waived, discharged, released or terminated orally but only by a written instrument or instruments executed by the Lender and Guarantor. Any alleged amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination that is not so documented shall not be effective as to the Lender. Whenever the Lender's consent is required herein, such consent shall be given in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, unless otherwise specifically stated.

11.5 COUNTERPARTS

This Guaranty may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Guaranty.

11.6 GOVERNING LAW

This Guaranty shall be construed and enforced according to, and governed by, the laws of Florida without reference to conflicts of laws provisions which, but for this provision, would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

11.7 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES

Every right and remedy provided in this Guaranty shall be cumulative of every other right or remedy of the Lender whether herein or by law conferred and may be enforced concurrently with any such right or remedy. No acceptance of performance of any Retained Liability Matters as to which the Guarantor shall be in Default, or waiver of particular or single performance of any obligation or observance of any covenant, shall be construed as a waiver of the obligation or covenant or as a waiver of any other Default then, theretofore or thereafter existing.

11.8 SEVERABILITY

In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Guaranty shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, or in any respect, or in the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Guaranty shall operate, or would prospectively operate, to invalidate this Guaranty, then, and in any such event, such provision or provisions only shall be deemed to be null and void and of no force or effect and shall not affect any other provision of this Guaranty, and the remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.

11.9 SETTLEMENTS

Upon the Lender's request, the Guarantor shall participate in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner in any settlement between the Borrower and the Lender which includes or may include a deed in lieu of a foreclosure or of a trustee's sale.

11.10 REFERENCE TO PARTICULARS

The scope of a general statement made in this Guaranty shall not be construed as having been reduced through the inclusion of references to particular items that would be included within the statement's scope. Therefore, unless the relevant provision of this Guaranty contains specific language to the contrary, the term "include" shall mean "include, but shall not be limited to" and the term "including" shall mean "including, without limitation."

11.11 ASSIGNMENT

The Lender may assign its rights under this Guaranty without notice to any holder of the Note and assignee of the Lender's rights under the Loan Documents.

11.12 SURVIVAL

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7, all obligations under this Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor's heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall survive foreclosure of the Property, delivery and acceptance of a deed to the Property in lieu of foreclosure, and the repayment of the Indebtedness.

11.13 GUARANTOR LIABILITY

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, only for so long as the parties comprising Guarantor are each of Casto, Kensington and St. Joe, the liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty is limited to not exceed an amount equal to the total of all amounts due and payable under this Guaranty multiplied by the Percentage for each Guarantor stated below:

Guarantor:	Percentage:
The St. Joe Company	60%
Don M. Casto, III and Kensington Gardens Builders Corp, jointly and severally	40%

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment Information

The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following five reportable operating segments: 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts and leisure, 4) leasing and 5) forestry. In prior periods the Company’s reportable operating segments were 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts, leisure and leasing operations and 4) forestry. The Company’s leasing operations segment currently meets the quantitative and qualitative factors as a reportable operating segment; therefore, the Company has changed its segment presentation to include leasing operations as a reportable operating segment. Leasing operations were historically included with the Company’s resorts, leisure and leasing operating segment. All prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. The change in reporting segments had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.

The residential real estate segment generates revenues from the development and sale of homes and homesites. The commercial real estate segment sells undeveloped or developed land and commercial operating property. The resort and leisure segment generates revenues and costs from the WaterColor Inn and Resort, vacation rental programs, management of The Pearl Hotel, four golf courses, marina operations and other related resort activities. The leasing segment generates revenues and costs from retail and commercial leasing operations, including the Company’s consolidated joint venture at Pier Park North. The forestry segment produces and sells woodfiber, sawtimber and other forest products and may sell the Company’s timber or rural land holdings.

The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are each managed separately and decisions about allocations of resources are determined by management based on these strategic business units.

The Company uses income from operations before equity in loss from unconsolidated affiliates, income taxes and non-controlling 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 set forth in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in Item 15 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The caption entitled “Other” consists of non-allocated corporate general and administrative expenses, net of investment income.

Information by business segment is as follows:

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Nature of Operations

Nature of Operations

The St. Joe Company together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a real estate development and operating company with real estate assets and operations currently concentrated primarily between Tallahassee and Destin, Florida.

The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following five reportable operating segments: 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts and leisure, 4) leasing operations and 5) forestry. In prior periods, the Company’s reportable operating segments were 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts, leisure and leasing operations and 4) forestry. The Company’s leasing operations segment currently meets the quantitative and qualitative factors as a reportable operating segment; therefore, the Company has changed its segment presentation to include leasing operations as a reportable operating segment. Leasing operations were historically included with the Company’s resorts, leisure and leasing operating segment. All prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. The change in reporting segments had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented. See Note 17, Segment Information.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements are not included herein. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in which the Company has significant influence, but not a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2014 balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2014 audited consolidated 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. As required under GAAP, 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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Discontinued operations

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) that changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. In addition, this ASU mandates expanded disclosures about the discontinued operation and requires disclosures about certain disposals that do not qualify as discontinued operations. This guidance is applied prospectively and the Company adopted it as of January 1, 2015. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Balance Sheets or Statements of Cash Flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that establishes the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. The new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application will be permitted, but not before annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company has not adopted this ASU as of September 30, 2015.

Consolidation

In February 2015, the FASB issued an ASU that amends the existing consolidation guidance related to (i) limited partnerships and similar legal entities, (ii) the evaluation of variable interests for fees paid to decision makers or service providers, (iii) the effect of fee arrangements and related parties on the primary beneficiary determination, and (iv) certain investment funds. These changes are expected to limit the number of consolidation models and place more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest. The new guidance will be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted, including early adoption in an interim period. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has not adopted this ASU as of September 30, 2015.

Debt issuance costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendment does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. The new guidance should be applied on a retrospective basis and is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position. The Company has not adopted this ASU as of September 30, 2015.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Description of Business

The St. Joe Company together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a real estate development and operating company with real estate assets and operations currently concentrated primarily between Tallahassee and Destin, Florida.

The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following five reportable operating segments: 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts and leisure, 4) leasing operations and 5) forestry. In prior periods, the Company’s reportable operating segments were 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts, leisure and leasing operations and 4) forestry. The Company’s leasing operations segment currently meets the quantitative and qualitative factors as a reportable operating segment; therefore, the Company has changed its segment presentation to include leasing operations as a reportable operating segment. Leasing operations were historically included with the Company’s resorts, leisure and leasing operating segment. All prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. The change in reporting segments had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented. See Note 17, Segment Information.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements are not included herein. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in which the Company has significant influence, but not a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2014 balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2014 audited consolidated 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. As required under GAAP, 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.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Discontinued operations

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) that changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. In addition, this ASU mandates expanded disclosures about the discontinued operation and requires disclosures about certain disposals that do not qualify as discontinued operations. This guidance is applied prospectively and the Company adopted it as of January 1, 2015. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Balance Sheets or Statements of Cash Flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that establishes the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. The new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application will be permitted, but not before annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company has not adopted this ASU as of September 30, 2015.

Consolidation

In February 2015, the FASB issued an ASU that amends the existing consolidation guidance related to (i) limited partnerships and similar legal entities, (ii) the evaluation of variable interests for fees paid to decision makers or service providers, (iii) the effect of fee arrangements and related parties on the primary beneficiary determination, and (iv) certain investment funds. These changes are expected to limit the number of consolidation models and place more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest. The new guidance will be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted, including early adoption in an interim period. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has not adopted this ASU as of September 30, 2015.

Debt issuance costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendment does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. The new guidance should be applied on a retrospective basis and is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position. The Company has not adopted this ASU as of September 30, 2015.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment quarterly to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets include the Company’s investments in operating and development property and property and equipment, net. As part of the Company’s review for impairment of its long-lived assets, the Company reviews each long-lived asset’s carrying value, current period actual financial results as compared to prior period and forecast contained in the Company’s business plan and any other event or changes in circumstances to identify whether an indicator of potential impairment may exist. Some of the events or changes in circumstances that are considered by the Company as indicators of potential impairment include:

• a prolonged decrease in the fair value or demand for the Company’s properties;

• a change in the expected use or development plans for the Company’s properties;

• a material change in strategy that would affect the fair value of the Company’s properties;

• continuing operating or cash flow losses for an operating property;

• an accumulation of costs in excess of the projected costs for a development property; and

• any other adverse change that may affect the fair value of the property.

The Company uses varying methods to determine if an impairment exists, such as (i) considering indicators of potential impairment, (ii) analyzing expected future cash flows and comparing the expected future undiscounted cash flows of the property to its carrying value or (iii) determining market resale values.

Investments

Investments consist of available-for-sale securities and are recorded at fair value, which is based on observable market inputs. Unrealized gains and temporary losses on investments, net of tax, are recorded in Other comprehensive (loss) income. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method. The amortized cost of debt securities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity computed under the effective interest method. Such amortization is included in Investment income, net. In addition, at September 30, 2015, the Company had investments in short term commercial paper that are classified as cash equivalents, since they had maturity dates of ninety days or less from the date of purchase.

In addition, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to commence a tender offer for up to $300.0 million at a price of $18.00 per share, pursuant to Rule 10b-18. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company repurchased a total of 16,982,739 shares of its common stock outstanding. This amount included 16,348,143 shares purchased pursuant to a tender offer the Company announced on August 21, 2015, and which expired on September 22, 2015. Pursuant to the tender offer, in September 2015, the Company accepted for purchase 16,348,143 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $18.00 per share, for a total purchase price of $294.3 million. The 16,348,143 shares of common stock repurchased included approximately 100,000 shares which were held in accounts managed by Fairholme Capital.  The respective account holders directed that the shares be tendered into the tender offer, and such shares were repurchased under the same terms as all other shares of common stock repurchased pursuant to the tender offer.  No shares in which Fairholme has a pecuniary interest, or for which Fairholme holds sole dispositive power, were tendered into the tender offer. In addition, prior to the commencement of the tender offer, the Company purchased 634,596 shares of its common stock under its previous Stock Repurchase Program at a weighted average purchase price of $16.03. As of September 30, 2015, there was $5.7 million remaining for purchase of shares under the Company’s Stock Repurchase Program.

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]

Investments

Investments

Investments consist of available-for-sale securities and are recorded at fair value, which is based on observable market inputs. Unrealized gains and temporary losses on investments, net of tax, are recorded in Other comprehensive (loss) income. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method. The amortized cost of debt securities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity computed under the effective interest method. Such amortization is included in Investment income, net. In addition, at September 30, 2015, the Company had investments in short term commercial paper that are classified as cash equivalents, since they had maturity dates of ninety days or less from the date of purchase.

At September 30, 2015 investments classified as available-for-sale securities were as follows:

	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses		Fair Value
Debt securities:
Commercial paper (1)	$	98,962	$	22	$	—	$	98,984

Fairholme Capital Management, L.L.C., or one of its affiliates (“Fairholme Capital”), has served as an investment advisor to the Company since April 2013. As of September 30, 2015, funds managed by Fairholme Capital beneficially owned approximately 32.5% of the Company’s common stock. Mr. Bruce Berkowitz is the Managing Member of Fairholme Capital and the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. Fairholme Capital does not receive any compensation for services as the Company’s investment advisor.

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Investment Management Agreement as amended (the “Agreement”) with Fairholme Capital, Fairholme Capital agreed to supervise and direct the investments of an investment account established by the Company in accordance with the investment guidelines and restrictions approved by the Investment Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The investment guidelines are set forth in the Agreement and require that, as of the date of any investment: (i) at least 50% of the investment account be held in cash or cash equivalents, as defined in the Agreement, (ii) no more than 15% of the investment account may be invested in securities of any one issuer (excluding the U.S. Government) and (iii) any investment in any one issuer (excluding the U.S. Government) that exceeds 10%, but not 15%, requires the consent of at least two members of the Investment Committee. The investment account may not be invested in common stock securities.

As of September 30, 2015, the investment account included $30.9 million of money market funds and $99.0 million of commercial paper (all of which are classified within cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets), $234.9 million of U.S. Treasury securities, $5.3 million of corporate debt securities in an issuer that is a national retail chain that is non-investment grade and $11.9 million of preferred stock investments (all of which are classified within investments on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, realized gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $5.3 million and proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $182.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, realized gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $5.3 million, proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $322.8 million and proceeds from the maturity of available-for-sale securities were $310.0 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $75.0 million and proceeds from the maturity of U.S. Treasury securities were $40.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, realized losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $0.8 million, proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $83.2 million and proceeds from the maturity of available-for-sale securities were $100.0 million.

As of September 30, 2015, there were no unrealized losses related to commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, corporate debt securities or preferred stock investments. As of December 31, 2014, certain of the Company’s U.S. Treasuries and preferred stock had immaterial unrealized losses. The Company previously reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K that it had no continuous unrealized losses greater than twelve months as a result of recognizing a portion of the unrealized loss in earnings as of September 30, 2014. The Company has revised this disclosure in the following table that provides the corporate debt securities continuous unrealized loss position and its related fair values:    

	As of September 30, 2015								As of December 31, 2014
	Less Than 12 Months				12 Months or Greater				Less Than 12 Months				12 Months or Greater
	Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses
Corporate debt securities	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	85,845	$	1,294	$	14,260	$	188

The Company had no unrealized losses as of September 30, 2015. The Company’s unrealized losses as of December 31, 2014 relate to investments in senior secured debt securities in one issuer that is a national retail chain that is non-investment grade. The Company purchased these investments between the second quarter of 2013 through the second quarter of 2014. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company determined that these investments were other-than-temporarily impaired and recorded $1.3 million related to credit-related losses in Investment income, net on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The credit-losses were measured as the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows of the corporate debt securities discounted using the effective interest rate at the date of purchase and the amortized cost of the corporate debt securities. The Company sold these investments during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and recorded a realized gain of $5.3 million.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company did not intend to sell the investments with unrealized losses and it was not more likely than not that the Company would have been required to sell the security prior to its anticipated recovery, which could have been maturity; therefore, the Company does not believe that its investment in the corporate debt securities was other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014.

The net carrying value and estimated fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale at September 30, 2015, by contractual maturity are shown in the following table. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations.

Asset Impairment Charges [Abstract]

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment quarterly to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets include the Company’s investments in operating and development property and property and equipment, net. As part of the Company’s review for impairment of its long-lived assets, the Company reviews each long-lived asset’s carrying value, current period actual financial results as compared to prior period and forecast contained in the Company’s business plan and any other event or changes in circumstances to identify whether an indicator of potential impairment may exist. Some of the events or changes in circumstances that are considered by the Company as indicators of potential impairment include:

• a prolonged decrease in the fair value or demand for the Company’s properties;

• a change in the expected use or development plans for the Company’s properties;

• a material change in strategy that would affect the fair value of the Company’s properties;

• continuing operating or cash flow losses for an operating property;

• an accumulation of costs in excess of the projected costs for a development property; and

• any other adverse change that may affect the fair value of the property.

The Company uses varying methods to determine if an impairment exists, such as (i) considering indicators of potential impairment, (ii) analyzing expected future cash flows and comparing the expected future undiscounted cash flows of the property to its carrying value or (iii) determining market resale values.

There were no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets would not be recoverable, and, therefore, the Company did not record any impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]

Employee Benefit Plans

Employee Benefit Plans

The Company previously sponsored a cash balance defined benefit pension plan that covered substantially all of its salaried employees (the “Pension Plan”). In November 2012, the Board of Directors approved the termination of the Pension Plan. The Pension Plan was frozen in March 2013 pending regulatory approvals, which were received in August 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the Pension Plan assets have been distributed to Pension Plan participants and $7.9 million was distributed to the Company’s 401(k) Plan to pay additional future benefits to current and future 401(k) plan participants for up to the next seven years. Subsequent to these distributions, the remaining Pension Plan assets of $23.8 million were reverted to the Company in December 2014.

A summary of the net periodic pension cost related to the Pension Plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2014		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
Interest cost	$	149	$	496
Expected loss on assets	137		412
Settlement charges	529		969
Amortization of loss	115		373
Net periodic pension cost	$	930	$	2,250

As of September 30, 2014, the assumptions used to develop net periodic pension cost and benefit obligations were the discount rate of 3.75% and expected long-term rate on plan assets of 0%.

Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all officers and employees, which permits participants to defer up to the maximum allowable amount determined by the IRS of their eligible compensation.

As part of the Pension Plan termination described above, the Company directed the Pension Plan to transfer $7.9 million of the Pension Plan’s surplus assets into a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) Plan. The Company has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements until they are allocated to participants. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair values of these assets were recorded in Restricted investments on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $7.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively.

The Company expenses the fair value of the assets at the time the assets are allocated to participants, which is expected to be up to the next seven years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded an expense of $0.9 million for the fair value of the assets that were allocated to participants during that period. In addition, any gains and losses on these assets are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and were less than a $0.1 million gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Total debt	$	69,726	$	63,804

In connection with the sale of the Company’s office building portfolio in 2007, the Company completed an in-substance defeasance of debt of approximately $29.3 million of mortgage debt, which has a final balloon payment that was made in October 2015. The Company assigned the mortgage debt and deposited sufficient funds with a trustee solely to satisfy the principal and remaining interest obligations on the mortgage debt when due. The indebtedness remained on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 since the transaction was not considered to be an extinguishment of debt because the Company is liable if, for any reason, the government securities were insufficient to repay the debt. In October 2015, the trustee made the final balloon payment on the mortgage debt in the amount of $25.3 million, utilizing the pledged treasury securities and cash. There was no shortfall on the payment.

Community Development District (“CDD”) bonds financed the construction of infrastructure improvements at several of the Company’s projects. The principal and interest payments on the bonds are paid by assessments on, or from sales proceeds of, the properties benefited by the improvements financed by the bonds. The Company has recorded a liability for CDD assessments that are associated with platted property, which is the point at which the assessments become fixed or determinable. Additionally, the Company has recorded a liability for the balance of the CDD assessment that is associated with unplatted property if it is probable and reasonably estimable that the Company will ultimately be responsible for repaying. The Company has recorded debt of $6.8 million and $6.5 million related to CDD assessments as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company’s total outstanding CDD assessments were $22.2 million and $22.7 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company pays interest on the total outstanding CDD assessments.

In February 2013, the Company’s Pier Park North joint venture entered into a Construction Loan agreement for $41.0 million that matures in February 2016 with the possibility of an option for a two year extension. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $37.6 million and $31.6 million, respectively were outstanding on the Construction Loan. See Note 8,Real Estate Joint Ventures. In October 2015, the Pier Park North joint venture refinanced its February 2013 Construction Loan and entered into a $48.2 million loan. The Refinanced Loan will accrue interest at a rate of 4.1% per annum and will mature on November 1, 2025. See Note 8, Real Estate Joint Ventures for details on the Refinanced Loan.

The aggregate maturities of debt subsequent to September 30, 2015 are:

	September 30, 2015
2015	25,324
2016 (1)	37,742
2017	121
2018	126
2019	130
Thereafter	6,283
	$	69,726

(1 ) In October 2015, the Company’s Pier Park North joint venture refinanced its Construction Loan that would have matured in 2016. As a result, $37.6 million will no longer be due in 2016. The Refinanced Loan will mature in November 2025. See Note 8, Real Estate Joint Ventures.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

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 a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

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, such as internally-developed valuation models which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2015 were as follows:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total Fair Value
Cash equivalents:
Money market funds	$	30,903	$	—	$	—	$	30,903
Commercial paper	98,984		—		—		98,984
Debt securities:

Corporate debt securities	—		5,269		—		5,269
Preferred stock	—		11,895		—		11,895
Restricted investments:
Guaranteed income fund	—		7,156		—		7,156
	$	364,748	$	24,320	$	—	$	389,068

The financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2014 were as follows:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total Fair Value
Cash equivalents:
Money market funds	$	19,971	$	—	$	—	$	19,971
Debt securities:
U.S. Treasury securities	509,815		—		—		509,815
Corporate debt securities	—		100,105		—		100,105
Preferred stock	—		26,958		—		26,958
Restricted investments:
Guaranteed income fund	—		7,940		—		7,940
	$	529,786	$	135,003	$	—	$	664,789

Money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities and commercial paper are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market and categorized within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Money market funds and commercial paper with a maturity date of ninety days or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Corporate debt securities and preferred stock are measured primarily using pricing data from external pricing services that use prices observed for recently executed market transactions for the corporate debt security or the preferred stock that the Company owns. Corporate debt securities and preferred stock are not traded on a nationally recognized exchange but rather are traded in the U.S. over the counter market where there is less trading activity. For these reasons, the Company has determined that the corporate debt securities and preferred stock are categorized as level 2 financial instruments since their fair values were determined from market inputs in an inactive market.

Restricted investments include certain of the surplus assets that were transferred from the Company’s Pension Plan to a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) Plan in December 2014. The Company has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements until they are allocated to participants. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the assets held in the suspense account were invested in the Prudential Guaranteed Income Fund, which is a stable value fund designed to provide safety of principal, liquidity, and a rate of return. The Prudential Guaranteed Income Fund is valued based upon the contributions made to the fund, plus earnings at guaranteed crediting rates, less withdrawals and fees and are categorized as level 2 financial instruments. The Company’s Retirement Plan Investment Committee is responsible for investing decisions and allocation decisions of the suspense account. Refer to Note 15, Employee Benefit Plans.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

• The fair value of the Company’s pledged treasury securities is based on quoted market prices in an active market.

• The fair value of the Company’s retained interest investments is based on the present value of the expected future cash flows at the effective yield.

• The fair value of the Investments held by special purpose entities is based on the present value of future cash flows at the current market rate. See Note 5,Real Estate Sales.

• The fair value of the Investments held by special purpose entities - U.S. Treasury securities are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market. See Note 5,Real Estate Sales.

• The fair value of the Senior Notes held by special purpose entity is based on the present value of future cash flows at the current market rate. See Note 5,Real Estate Sales.

The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows:

	September 30, 2015					December 31, 2014
	Carrying  value		Fair value		Level	Carrying  value		Fair value		Level
Assets
Pledged treasury securities	$	—	$	—	N/A	$	25,670	$	26,501	1

Pledged Treasury Securities

In connection with a sale of the Company’s office portfolio in 2007, the Company completed an in-substance defeasance of approximately $29.3 million of mortgage debt that was collateralized by one of the commercial buildings. The Company assigned the mortgage debt and deposited sufficient funds with a trustee solely to satisfy the principal and remaining interest obligations on the mortgage debt when due. The interest yield on the pledged securities and the interest expense on the debt are closely related. The transaction did not qualify as an extinguishment of debt, since the Company was responsible if there had been a shortfall in the funds deposited into the trust, which were invested in government backed securities. The trust was not in the Company’s control and the trustee could not sell the securities prior to maturity. As such, the government backed securities or cash and the related debt (see Note 11,Debt) remained on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The government backed securities or cash were recorded as Pledged cash and treasury securities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In August 2015, the remaining pledged treasury securities matured and were held as restricted cash at September 30, 2015. In October 2015, the trustee made the final balloon payment on the mortgage debt in the amount of $25.3 million, utilizing the pledged treasury securities and cash. There was no shortfall on the payment.

Retained Interest Investments

The Company has a beneficial interest in certain bankruptcy remote qualified special purpose entities (the “2008 SPEs”) used in the installment sale monetization of certain sales of timberlands in 2007 and 2008. The 2008 SPEs’ assets are not available to satisfy the Company’s liabilities or obligations and the liabilities of the 2008 SPEs are not the Company’s liabilities or obligations. In the event that proceeds from the financial instruments are insufficient to settle all of the liabilities of the 2008SPEs, the Company is not obligated to contribute any funds to the 2008 SPEs.The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the 2008 SPEs, since the Company is not the primary decision maker with respect to activities that could significantly impact the economic performance of the 2008 SPEs, nor does the Company perform any service activity related to the 2008 SPEs. Therefore, the 2008 SPEs’ assets and liabilities are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

At the time of monetization the initial retained interest recorded was an estimate based on the present value of future excess cash flows expected to be received over the life of the retained interest, using management’s best estimate of underlying assumptions, including credit risk and discount rates. The Company’s continuing involvement with the 2008 SPEs is the receipt of the net interest payments and the remaining principal of approximately $15.2 million to be received at the end of the installment notes’ fifteen year maturity period, in 2022 through 2024.

The Company has a beneficial or retained interest investment related to the 2008 SPEs of $10.1 million and $9.9 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, recorded in Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has classified its retained interest investment as held-to-maturity because the Company has both the intent and the ability to hold its interest in the 2008 SPEs to maturity. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the retained interest investment at cost, adjusted for the accretion of investment income over the life of the retained interest using the effective yield method with rates ranging from 3.7% to 11.6%. The Company continues to update its expectation of cash flows to be collected over the term of the retained interest. Changes to the previously projected cash flows are accounted for prospectively, unless based on management’s assessment of current information and events, it is determined that there is an other-than-temporary impairment. The Company has not recorded an other-than-temporary impairment related to its retained interest investments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

In the event of a failure and liquidation of the counterparties involved in the installment sales, the Company could be required to write-off the remaining retained interest recorded on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Real Estate Sales

Real Estate Sales

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily comparable from period to period due to the impact of the AgReserves Sale and the RiverTown Sale during 2014.

AgReserves Sale

Real estate sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, includes the sale to AgReserves, Inc. of approximately 380,000 acres of land located in Northwest Florida, along with certain other assets and inventory and rights under certain continuing leases and contracts (the “AgReserves Sale”). On March 5, 2014, the Company completed the AgReserves Sale for $562 million and recorded pre-tax income of $511.1 million for the AgReserves Sale, which includes $1.2 million of severance costs recorded in Other operating expenses. As a result of certain adjustments to the purchase price, consideration received for the AgReserves Sale was (1) $358.5 million in cash, (2) a $200 millionfifteen year installment note (the “Timber Note”) issued by Panama City Timber Finance Company, LLC, a buyer-sponsored special purpose entity (the “AgReserves SPE”), and (3) an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Letter of Credit”) at the request of the AgReserves SPE, in favor of the Company. The AgReserves SPE was created by AgReserves with financial instruments having an aggregate principal balance of $203.5 million that secure the Letter of Credit.

In April 2014, the Company contributed the Timber Note and assigned its rights as a beneficiary under the Letter of Credit to Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC, a bankruptcy-remote, qualified special purpose entity wholly owned by the Company (“NFTF”). NFTF monetized the Timber Note by issuing $180 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) at an issue price of 98.483% of the face value to third party investors. The Senior Notes are payable solely by the property of NFTF and the investors holding the Senior Notes of NFTF have no recourse against the Company for payment of the Senior Notes or the related interest expense.

The Company received $165.0 million in cash, net of $15.0 million in costs, from the monetization and expects to receive the remaining$20.0 millionupon maturity of the Timber Note and after payment of the Senior Notes and any other liabilities of NFTF. The $15.0 million of costs from the monetization include (1) a total of $4.3 million for the discount and issuance costs for the Senior Notes, which will be amortized over the term of the Senior Notes, (2) $7.0 million for U.S. Treasury securities and cash that the Company contributed to NFTF to be used for interest and operating expenses over the fifteen year period of the Timber Note and which are recorded in Investments held by special purpose entities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and (3) $3.7 million of costs related to the monetization that were expensed during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and are recorded in Administrative costs associated with special purpose entities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company owns the equity interest in NFTF, but no equity interest in the AgReserves SPE. Both the AgReserves SPE and NFTF are distinct legal entities and the assets of the AgReserves SPE and NFTF are not available to satisfy the Company's liabilities or obligations and the liabilities of the AgReserves SPE and NFTF are not the Company's liabilities or obligations. In the event that proceeds from the financial instruments are insufficient to settle all of the liabilities of the AgReserves SPE or NFTF, the Company is not obligated to contribute any funds to either the AgReserves SPEor NFTF.

The Company has determined that it was the primary beneficiary of the AgReserves SPE and NFTF as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and therefore, the AgReserves SPE’s and NFTF’s assets and liabilities are consolidated in the Company's financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The carrying amounts of the AgReserves SPE’s and NFTF’s assets and non-recourse liabilities were $211.4 million and $178.1 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2015. The consolidated assets of the AgReserves SPE and NFTF consist of a $200 million time deposit that subsequent to April 2, 2014 pays interest at 4.006% and matures in March 2029, accrued interest of $1.3 million on the time deposit, U.S. Treasuries of $8.5 million, cash of $0.2 million and deferred issuance costs of $1.4 million for the Senior Notes. The consolidated liabilities include Senior Notes issued by NFTF totaling $177.4 million net of the $2.6 million discount and $0.7 million of accrued interest expense on the Senior Notes.

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes the following amounts related to the Buyer SPE and NFTF for (i) interest income on the time deposit and amortization of the discounts on the U.S. Treasuries and (ii) interest expense for the Senior Notes, amortization of the discount and issuance costs:

	Three Months Ended   September 30,						Nine Months Ended   September 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Investment income, net	$	2,050		$	2,050		$	6,150		$	4,067
Interest expense	$	(2,189	)	$	(2,185	)	$	(6,566	)	$	(4,397	)

The Company has classified the U.S. Treasury securities held by the AgReserves SPE and NFTF as held-to-maturity based on their intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. Accordingly, the debt securities are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value as of September 30, 2015. The U.S. Treasuries mature over the fifteen year period of the Timber Note or $0.8 million within one year, $3.6 million after one year through five years, $3.0 million after five years through ten years and $1.1 million after ten years.    

RiverTown Sale

On April 2, 2014, the Company completed the sale to an affiliate of Mattamy (Jacksonville) Partnership d/b/a Mattamy Homes (“Mattamy”), of approximately 4,057 acres of real property, which constitutes the RiverTown community in St. Johns County, Florida, along with all of the Company’s related development or developer rights, founder’s rights and certain tangible and intangible personal property in exchange for (1) $24.0 million in cash, (2) $19.6 million in the form of a purchase money note, (3) the assumption of the Company’s Rivers Edge Community Development District assessments and (4) the obligation to purchase certain RiverTown community related impact fee credits from the Company as the RiverTown community is developed. The $19.6 million purchase money note was paid in full as of June 30, 2015.

Based on Mattamy’s current development plans and St. Johns County’s current costs for impact fees, the Company estimates that it may receive $20 million to $26 million for the impact fees over the five-year period following the closing (most of which, the Company expects to receive at the end of that five-year period). However, the actual additional consideration received for the impact fees, will be based on Mattamy’s actual development of the RiverTown community, the timing of Mattamy’s development of the RiverTown community and the impact fee rates at the time of such development (as determined by St. Johns County’s then current impact fee rate schedule), which are all factors beyond the Company’s control. The Company cannot provide any assurance as to the amount or timing of any payments it may receive for the impact fees. The Company has not recorded a receivable for the estimated impact fees to be received and will record any revenues related to the receipt of the impact fees at the time of receipt. The Company received no impact fees during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and received $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the Company has received a total of approximately $0.2 million through September 30, 2015.

The Company recorded net earnings of $26.0 million before income taxes for the RiverTown Sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Mattamy also assumed the Company’s total outstanding Rivers Edge CDD assessments, which were $11.0 million, of which $5.4 million was recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2014.

Investment income, net

Interest and dividend income includes interest income accrued or received on the Company’s corporate debt securities and dividend income received from the Company’s preferred stock investments. Accretion income includes the amortization of the premium or discount related to the Company’s available-for-sale securities, which is amortized based on an effective interest rate method over the term of the available-for-sale security. Realized gains (losses) on the sale of investments include the gain or loss recognized on the sale of an available-for-sale security prior to maturity. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company determined that its investments in corporate debt securities were other-than-temporarily impaired and recorded $1.3 million related to credit-related losses in Investment income, net on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 4, Investments.

Interest income from investments in special purpose entities primarily includes interest accrued or received on the Timber Note, which is used to pay the interest expense for the Senior Notes issued by special purpose entity. See Note 5, Real Estate Sales.

Interest expense

Interest expense includes interest expense related to the Company’s Community Development District debt and the construction loan in the Pier Park North joint venture. Borrowing costs, including the discount and issuance costs for the Senior Notes issued by the special purpose entity, are amortized based on the effective interest method at an effective rate of 4.9%.

Other, net

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company expensed a total of $0.5 million and $7.9 million, respectively, related to the SEC investigation. This amount was included in Other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The $7.9 million of fees and expenses for the SEC investigation consisted of (i) an accrual of $3.5 million for penalties, disgorgements and interest relating to the SEC investigation and (ii) legal expenses associated with the SEC investigation. On October 27, 2015, the Company fully resolved the SEC investigation and entered into a settlement with the SEC. Without admitting or denying any factual allegations, the Company consented to the SEC’s issuance of an administrative order pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay penalties, disgorgements and interest of approximately $3.5 million, including a civil penalty assessed on the Company of $2.75 million and other disgorgements and interest subject to indemnification by the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company received correspondence from an insurance carrier related to non-coverage of certain fees and expenses incurred in the SEC investigation and, as a result of this correspondence, the Company recorded $0.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in legal costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. See Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies.

The Company records the accretion of investment income from its retained interest investment over the life of the retained interest using the effective yield method with rates ranging from 3.7% to 11.6%. Hunting lease income is recognized as income over the term of the lease.

Real Estate Joint Ventures [Abstract]

Real Estate Joint Ventures

Real Estate Joint Ventures

The Company enters into real estate joint ventures, from time to time, for the purpose of developing real estate in which the Company may or may not have a controlling financial interest. GAAP requires consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb the VIE losses and right to receive benefits that are significant to the VIE. The Company examines specific criteria and uses judgment when determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate a VIE. The Company continues to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary on an ongoing basis.

Consolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures

During 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with a partner to develop a retail lifestyle center at Pier Park North. During 2013, the Company and its partner contributed total cash of approximately $14.4 million to the joint venture, of which the Company contributed $9.5 million, or 66%, and the Company’s partner contributed $4.9 million, or 34%. Additionally, during 2013 the Company contributed land with an agreed upon value of $6.0 million to the joint venture. During 2013, the Company received a cash distribution of $2.3 million as the result of a sale of a portion of the property in the joint venture.

In February 2013, the Pier Park North joint venture entered into a $41.0 million construction loan agreement that would have matured in February 2016 with the possibility of an option for a two year extension (the “Construction Loan”). As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $37.6 million and $31.6 million, respectively, were outstanding on the Construction Loan. In connection with the Construction Loan agreement the Company had entered into certain limited guarantees. In addition, the Company had agreed to maintain minimum liquidity of $25 million and net worth of $350 million under the Construction Loan.

In October 2015, the Pier Park North joint venture refinanced the Construction Loan and entered into a $48.2 million loan. The refinanced loan will accrue interest at a rate of 4.1% per annum and matures in November 2025 (the “Refinanced Loan”). The Refinanced Loan provides for interest only payments during the first twelve months and principal and interest payments thereafter with a final balloon payment at maturity. The Refinanced Loan is secured by a first lien on, and security interest in, a majority of Pier Park North joint venture’s property and a $6.62 million letter of credit.

Upon refinancing of the Construction Loan, $6.3 million was distributed to the Company, including $3.7 million as the remaining return for contributed land. As contemplated by the Pier Park North joint venture’s operating agreement, the remaining distribution was used to rebalance the equity ownership in the joint venture, such that the ownership percentage of the Company and its partner was adjusted to 60% and 40%, respectively.

In connection with the closing of the Refinanced Loan, each of the Pier Park North joint venture partners executed a limited guarantee in favor of the lender, based on their percentage ownership of the joint venture. The limited guarantee covers losses arising out of certain events, including (i) tenant security deposits; (ii) tenant rents; (iii) costs and expenses related to any environmental clean-up; (iv) liability for fraud or material breach of warranty with respect to the financing; (v) unpaid real estate taxes assessed against the property; (vi) failure to maintain required insurance; (vii) foreclosure of the security instrument; or (viii) failure of the joint venture to comply with certain covenants in the security instrument. In addition, the guarantee can become full recourse in the case of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Pier Park North joint venture; any voluntary transfer or encumbrance of the property in violation of the due-on-sale clause in the security instrument; upon commencement of voluntary or insolvency proceedings; and upon breach of covenants in the security instrument. Pursuant to the guarantee, the Pier Park North joint venture partners are required to maintain a minimum of $36 million in combined net worth, not including the value of each partner’s respective equity in the Pier Park North property.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s capital account represents over 73% of the total equity in the joint venture. The Company’s partner is responsible for the day-to-day activities; however, the Company has significant involvement in the design of the related development plan and approves all major decisions including the project development, annual budgets and loan refinancing. The Company has evaluated the VIE consolidation requirements with respect to this transaction and has determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary as the Company has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that are significant to the VIE; therefore, the results of the VIE have been consolidated within the financial results of the Company as of September 30, 2015.

In addition, the Company is the primary beneficiary of another real estate joint venture, Artisan Park, L.L.C, that is consolidated within the financial results of the Company. The Company is entitled to 74% of the profits or losses of this VIE. The Company has determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary as it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE; therefore, the results of the VIE have been consolidated within the financial results of the Company. If it is determined by the joint venture’s executive committee that an additional capital contribution is needed, the partners shall be afforded the right, but shall not have the obligation, to make a capital contribution based on the partner’s respective percentage interest.

As of September 30, 2015, the carrying amounts of the real estate VIEs’ assets that are consolidated were $56.8 million and non-recourse liabilities $39.4 million, including debt of $37.6 million, of which the Company has a principal repayment guarantee limited to 33% of the outstanding balance. Each VIE’s assets can only be used to settle obligations of that VIE. Those assets are owned by, and those liabilities are obligations of, that VIE, and not the Company, except for the above described guarantees and covenants.

Unconsolidated Real Estate VIE

As of September 30, 2015, the Company is a partner in ALP Liquidating Trust (“ALP”) that is accounted for using the equity method. The Company has evaluated the VIE consolidation requirements with respect to this joint venture and has determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary, since the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE. The Company is not required to contribute additional funds to ALP.

The Company has not recorded any additional equity income as a result of the ALP’s change in accounting.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, ALP reported a net loss of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, ALP reported a net loss of $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Income tax expense differed from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory rate of 35% to pre-tax loss or income as a result of the following:

Income tax expense (benefit)	$	1,244		$	(386	)	$	2,034		$	115,209

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had no federal net operating loss carryforwards and had $325.7 million of state net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future taxable income through 2031.

In general, a valuation allowance is recorded if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future years in the appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain a benefit from the reversal of deductible temporary differences and from loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2013, based on the timing of reversal of future taxable amounts and the Company’s history of losses, management did not believe it met the requirements to realize the benefits of certain of its deferred tax assets; therefore, the Company had maintained a valuation allowance of $93.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company reversed $90.1 million of the valuation allowance that was recorded as of December 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2015, management believes it has not met the requirements to realize the benefits for a portion of its deferred tax assets for state net operating loss carryforwards; therefore, the Company has maintained a valuation allowance of $6.0 million for these deferred tax assets.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company establishes an accrued liability when it believes it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company will evaluate the range of reasonably estimated losses and record an accrued liability based on what it believes to be the minimum amount in the range, unless it believes an amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amounts accrued. The Company evaluates quarterly whether further developments could affect the amount of the accrued liability previously established or would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.

The Company also provides disclosure when it believes it is reasonably possible that a loss will be incurred or when it believes it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the recorded liability. The Company reviews loss contingencies at least quarterly to determine whether the likelihood of loss has changed and to assess whether a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss can be made. This estimated range of possible loss is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.

The Company is subject to a variety of litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including litigation related to its prior homebuilding activities and those described herein. The Company cannot assure that it will be successful in defending these matters. Based on current knowledge, the Company does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings, including those described herein, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Company. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.

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 or range of loss can be 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 properties are subject to various Consent Agreements and Brownfield Site Rehabilitation Agreements with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The paper mill site has been rehabilitated by Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation in accordance with these agreements. The Company is in the process of assessing certain adjacent properties. Management is unable to quantify future rehabilitation costs above present accruals at this time or provide a reasonably estimated range of loss.

Other litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings, including environmental matters, are pending against the Company. Accrued aggregate liabilities related to the matters described above and other litigation matters were $1.4 million, excluding the $3.5 million accrual related to the SEC investigation discussed below, at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether the amount of an exposure is reasonably estimable. Due to uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company's results of operations in a given period.    

On January 4, 2011 the Company received notice from the Staff (the “Staff”) of the SEC of the initiation of an inquiry into the Company’s policies and practices concerning impairment of investment in real estate assets. In January 2015, the Company received a Wells Notice from the Staff related to historical accounting and disclosure practices and real estate asset valuations principally as reflected in the Company’s financial results for 2010, 2009 and prior periods. In June 2015, the Company established a reserve of $3.5 million for penalties, disgorgements and interest relating to the SEC investigation. On October 27, 2015, the Company fully resolved the SEC investigation and entered into a settlement with the SEC. Without admitting or denying any factual allegations, the Company consented to the SEC’s issuance of an administrative order pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay penalties, disgorgements and interest of approximately $3.5 million, including a civil penalty assessed on the Company of $2.75 million and other disgorgements and interest subject to indemnification by the Company.

The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability and property damage, including our timber assets.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $8.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2015, the Company has a total of $3.1 million in contractual obligations, of which $1.3 million are for the remainder of 2015, $0.9 million are for 2016 and $0.9 million are for 2017 and thereafter.

The Construction Loan entered into by the Pier Park North joint venture required the Company to enter into guarantees and comply with covenants as described in Note 8,Real Estate Joint Ventures. In October 2015, the Company’s Pier Park North joint venture refinanced its Construction Loan and entered into a $48.2 million loan. In connection with the closing of the Refinanced Loan, the Company entered into a limited guarantee in favor of the lender, based on its percentage ownership of the joint venture. The limited guarantee covers losses arising out of certain events, including (i) tenant security deposits; (ii) tenant rents; (iii) costs and expenses related to any environmental clean-up; (iv) liability for fraud or material breach of warranty with respect to the financing; (v) unpaid real estate taxes assessed against the property; (vi) failure to maintain required insurance; (vii) foreclosure of the security instrument; or (viii) failure of the joint venture to comply with certain covenants in the security instrument. In addition, the guarantee can become full recourse in the case of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Pier Park North joint venture; any voluntary transfer or encumbrance of the property in violation of the due-on-sale clause in the security instrument; upon commencement of voluntary or insolvency proceedings; and upon breach of covenants in the security instrument. Pursuant to the guarantee, the Pier Park North joint venture partners are required to maintain a minimum of $36 million in combined net worth, not including the value of each partner’s respective equity in the Pier Park North property.

As part of the AgReserves Sale and certain sales of timberlands in 2007 and 2008, the Company generated significant tax gains. The installment notes structure allowed the Company to defer the resulting tax liability of $61.8 million until 2022 - 2024 and $69.3 million until 2029, respectively, the maturity dates for the installment notes. The Company has a deferred tax liability related to the gains in connection with these sales.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]

Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties

Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s real estate investments are concentrated in Northwest Florida in a number of specific development projects. Uncertain economic conditions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s real estate values and could cause the Company to sell assets at depressed values in order to pay ongoing expenses. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, investments, notes receivable, investments held by special purpose entities, investments in retained interests and pledged cash and securities held as collateral for payment of the in-substance defeased debt. The Company deposits and invests cash with a major financial institution in the United States, which balances exceed the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of September 30, 2015, the Company had $234.9 million invested in U.S. Treasury securities, $5.3 million invested in one issuer of corporate debt securities that is non-investment grade and $11.9 million was invested in one issuer of preferred stock that is a financial services firm that is non-investment grade. In addition, as of September 30, 2015, the Company had investments in short term commercial paper from five issuers of $99.0 million.
