2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

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 United States 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, voting interest entities where the Company has a majority voting interest or control and variable interest entities where the Company deems itself the primary beneficiary. Investments in JVs in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, or a voting interest entity where the Company does not have a majority voting interest or control, but has significant influence are unconsolidated and accounted for by the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements. Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported total assets and liabilities, stockholders’ equity or net income. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024.

A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity in which a controlling financial interest may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the entity that possesses the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates VIEs when it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company continues to evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary as needed when assessing reconsideration events. See Note 4. Joint Ventures.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained herein. The unaudited 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, 2023. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company’s December 31, 2023 annual financial statements, except for any recently adopted accounting pronouncements. 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.

Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties

All of the Company’s real estate assets are concentrated in Northwest Florida. Uncertain economic conditions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations and asset values.

Throughout the first three months of 2024, the Company continued to generate positive financial results. While macroeconomic factors such as inflation, elevated interest rates, higher insurance costs, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, financial institution disruptions and geopolitical conflicts, among other things, continued to produce economic headwinds and impacted buyer sentiment, demand across the Company’s segments remains strong. The Company believes this is primarily due to the continued growth of Northwest Florida as a result of increased migration, which the Company attributes to the region’s high quality of life, natural beauty and outstanding amenities.

Despite the strong demand across the Company’s segments, the Company also continues to feel the impact from the aforementioned macroeconomic factors. In addition, inflation, higher insurance costs and elevated interest rates, have increased operating costs and loan rates, as compared to recent years. While elevated interest rates have negatively impacted buyers’ ability to obtain financing and the housing market generally, the impact has been offset by the net migration into the Company’s markets, limited housing supply relative to demand and the number of cash buyers. Market conditions have not caused an increase in cancellation rates as homebuilders have continued to perform on their contractual obligations with the Company.

Given our diverse portfolio of residential holdings, the mix of sales and pricing from different communities may impact revenue and margins period over period.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, other receivables and investments held by special purpose entity or entities (“SPE”). The Company deposits and invests cash with local, regional and national financial institutions, and as of March 31, 2024, these balances exceeded the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of March 31, 2024, the Company had $59.9 million invested in short-term U.S. Treasury Bills and $2.1 million invested in U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds classified as cash and cash equivalents.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, including potential dilutive common shares. The treasury stock method is used to determine the effect on diluted earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had 65,688 and 57,923, respectively, unvested shares of restricted stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 44,842 and 57,923, respectively, potentially dilutive restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share, since the effect would have been anti-dilutive based on the application of the treasury stock method. See Note 14. Stockholders’ Equity for additional information related to the issuance of common stock for employee compensation.

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement (“ASU 2023-05”) that requires a JV to apply a new basis of accounting upon formation by recognizing and initially measuring its assets and liabilities at fair value. This guidance will be effective prospectively for all JVs with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. A JV formed before January 1, 2025, may elect to apply the guidance retrospectively if sufficient information is available. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

Segment Reporting

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (“Topic 280”) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) that requires an entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. This guidance also requires that an entity disclose an amount and description of other segment items, provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods and disclose the title and position of the CODM and how the CODM uses the reported measure of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This guidance will be effective for annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) that increases transparency about income tax information by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid, disaggregated by jurisdiction. This guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption

permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.
