Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies	18. Commitments and Contingencies The Company establishes an accrued liability when it is both probable that a material 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 material 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 losses is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions, as well as 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 and development activities. The Company cannot make assurances 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 and a 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 is in the process of assessing certain properties in regard to the effects, if any, on the environment from the disposal or release of wastes or substances. 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, 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 $0.8 million and $1.5 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. 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 for any particular reporting period. The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability and property damage, including its timber assets. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $17.2 million and $10.7 million, respectively, as well as a standby letter of credit in the amount of $1.9 million as of March 31, 2020, which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had a total of $106.0 million in construction and development related contractual obligations, of which a significant portion will be funded through committed financing arrangements. In January 2019, the Company’s unconsolidated Pier Park TPS JV, entered into a $14.4 million loan, maturing in January 2026 (the “Pier Park TPS JV Loan”). The Pier Park TPS JV Loan is secured by the real property, assignment of rents and the security interest in the rents and personal property. In connection with the Pier Park TPS JV Loan, as guarantor the Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company’s JV partner entered into a joint and several guarantee in favor of the lender, to guarantee the payment and performance of the borrower. As guarantor the Company’s liability under the Pier Park TPS JV Loan will be automatically reduced to 50.0%, or a further 25.0% of the outstanding principal balance upon reaching and maintaining certain debt service coverage. In addition, the guarantee can become full recourse in the case of the failure of guarantor to abide by or perform any of the covenants or warranties to be performed on the part of such guarantor; any sale, conveyance or transfer of the property; upon the filing or commencement of voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings; the entry of monetary judgement or assessment or the filing of any tax lien against either the borrower or guarantor; and the dissolution of the borrower or guarantor. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $11.1 million and $6.8 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Pier Park TPS JV Loan. In November 2019, the Company’s unconsolidated Busy Bee JV, entered into a $5.4 million construction loan maturing in November 2035 (the “Busy Bee JV Construction Loan”) and a $1.2 million equipment loan maturing in November 2027 (the “Busy Bee JV Equipment Loan”). The loans are secured by the real and personal property, assignment of rents and leases and a security interest in the construction contract and management agreement. In connection with the Busy Bee JV Construction Loan and the Busy Bee JV Equipment Loan, as guarantor the Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company’s JV partner entered into a joint and several guarantee in favor of the lender, to guarantee the payment and performance of the borrower through substantial completion. As guarantor, the Company’s liability under the loans upon substantial completion will be reduced to 50.0% for a twelve month period. Subsequent to that time, the Company’s guarantee will be released upon request. Upon release of the Company’s guarantee, the JV partner will be the sole guarantor and will receive a fee related to the guarantee from the Company based on the Company’s ownership percentage. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $4.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Busy Bee JV Construction Loan. As of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, less than $0.1 million was outstanding on the Busy Bee JV Equipment Loan. The Company has assessed the need to record a liability for the guarantees related to the Company’s unconsolidated JVs and did not record an obligation as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, allowance for credit losses related to the contingent aspect of these guarantees, based on historical experience and economic trends, was $0.1 million and is included within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
