Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Company establishes an accrued liability when 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 the minimum amount in the range, unless 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 is reasonably possible that a loss will be incurred or when 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. 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 condition 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. 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 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 and a final Site Rehabilitation Completion Order (SRCO) issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) has been received. The Company is in the process of assessing certain neighboring 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 $2.5 million, including the $1.2 million accrual related to the SEC investigation discussed above, and $1.4 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Although the final resolution of the environmental litigation matters or governmental proceedings is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, it is possible that any final outcome could have a material impact on the results of operations or cash flows of 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 December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company was required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $7.1 million and $8.3 million, respectively and standby letters of credit in the amount of $0.5 million, which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met. At December 31, 2015, the Company has a total of $1.4 million in purchase obligations, of which $0.7 million are for 2016, $0.2 million are for 2017 and $0.5 million are for 2018. In connection with the Refinanced Loan, the Company guaranteed the joint venture’s obligations under a short term $6.62 million letter of credit which is securing a portion of the joint venture’s obligations under the Refinanced Loan. See Note 9, Real Estate Joint Ventures for a further discussion or the Refinanced Loan. 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.
