Item 11Executive Compensation.
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
Introduction
 
The Board of Directors has a Compensation Committee consisting of Joseph S. Steinberg that determines and approves the compensation of the executive officers of the Company, including those named in the Summary Compensation Table (the “Named Executive Officers”).
 
Compensation Objectives and Philosophy
 
Our compensation philosophy is based upon rewarding current and past contributions, performance and dedication and providing incentives for superior long-term performance.  We believe that there should be a strong link between pay and performance of both the Company and the individual.  Accordingly, a large percentage of annual compensation consists of discretionary bonus compensation.  This ensures that compensation paid to an executive reflects the individual’s specific contributions to our success, the level and degree of complexity involved in his/her contributions to the Company and the Company’s overall performance.  We believe our compensation package aligns the interests of executive officers with those of our stockholders.

The Company believes that our current compensation program fits within our overall compensation philosophy of providing a straight-forward compensation package and strikes the appropriate balance between short and long-term performance objectives.
 
At the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting, the say-on-pay advisory vote received approval from approximately 99.9% of the shares voted on the matter and the Compensation Committee made no significant changes to the Company’s executive compensation program during the year.
 
Setting Executive Compensation
 
In determining compensation for our Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee does not rely on any specific formula, benchmarking or pre-determined targets.  The Compensation Committee focuses primarily on its subjective determination of the performance of the individual executive officer, as well as on the performance of the Company.
 
In considering executive compensation, the Compensation Committee takes into account an executive officer’s responsibilities, as well as the services rendered by the executive officer to the Company.
 
Elements of Compensation
 
Our compensation package for executive officers consists of three basic elements: (1) base salary; (2) annual bonus compensation; and (3) long-term incentives in the form of stock options granted pursuant to our Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Option Plan”).
 
Other elements of compensation include medical and life insurance benefits available to employees generally.  Additionally, certain perquisites may be available to executive officers that are not available to other employees generally.
 
Each element of compensation serves a different purpose.  Salary and bonus payments are designed mainly to reward current and past performance, while stock options are designed to provide incentive for strong long-term future performance and are directly linked to stockholders’ interests because the value of the awards will increase or decrease based upon the future price of our common stock.
 
None of our executive officers is a party to an employment agreement with the Company.
 
Base Salary
 
Base salary is consistent with the executive’s office and level of responsibility, with annual salary increases which generally amount to a small percentage of the executive’s prior base salary, primarily reflecting cost of living increases.
 
Short-Term Incentives – Annual Bonus Compensation
 
Annual bonus compensation of executive officers is determined by the Compensation Committee based on its subjective assessment of an executive’s and the Company’s performance, given the cyclical nature of the real estate development industry.  Bonuses are subjective and are not based upon any formula or the application of any mathematical criteria.   While there is no agreement to pay annual bonuses, at the time each of the executive officers was employed by the Company there was a discussion that, in all but exceptional circumstances, annual subjective bonuses would be paid. The Compensation Committee considers the Company’s actual and estimated results of operations for the year in question, as well as operating results and bonus compensation for prior years.  The Committee also considers self-evaluations completed by each executive officer for the year, which provide the Compensation Committee with each executive’s subjective assessment of his or her achievements for the year, as well as identify personal goals for the coming year, and bonus recommendations from the Company’s President.
 
In evaluating each executive’s performance, the Compensation Committee takes into account the incremental value to the Company of obtaining project approvals and entitlements as the Company’s development projects progress, and places more emphasis on whether the executive’s performance has increased the long term value of the Company, rather than on the Company’s earnings for that year.  The Compensation Committee also recognizes that, due to the extended length of time that it takes to obtain land entitlements, especially in California where the Company’s business is centered, the current efforts of its executive officers may not result in operating profits for many years in the future.

Bonuses, which have varied from year to year, also reflect the Company’s profitability and activities for the year in question.  For example, in years in which the Company is actively selling real estate, the Compensation Committee is likely to subjectively consider the executive’s contribution to the sales effort and in years in which the Company is actively engaged in land acquisition, entitlement and land development efforts, the Compensation Committee is likely to consider the executive’s contribution to those efforts.  The Compensation Committee also subjectively considers the executive’s contribution to evaluation of new opportunities, and also places importance upon the executive’s critical analysis that can result in avoiding making investments that do not meet the Company’s investment criteria and are not consummated, as well as on those opportunities that are consummated.
 
For Mr. Borden, the Compensation Committee recognized his leadership role in providing effective managerial support and oversight of the Company business operations. This was evidenced by progress made in processing entitlements for the Otay Ranch properties, sales and project improvements at San Elijo Hills, progress in sales and development at Ashville Park and the planning of the Fanita Ranch property. The Compensation Committee also recognized that sales in San Elijo Hills and Ashville Park resulted in a profitable year at a time when the Company is continuing to make progress with all of its properties.
 
For Mr. Aden, the Compensation Committee recognized his contribution to the planning and improvements made at San Elijo Hills including an evolving plan for the repositioning of 52 lots with ten houses in Planning Area T, which the Company re-acquired in 2012. The Compensation Committee also recognized Mr. Aden’s contribution to the progress made on lot sales at San Elijo Hills, the entitlements for the Otay Ranch properties which included the approval of a General Development Plan Amendment for Villages Eight West and Nine and the SPA plan and Tentative Map for Village Eight. In addition, Mr. Aden worked extensively on a number of potential acquisitions and a new plan for development of the Fanita Ranch property.
 
For Mr. Foulger, the Compensation Committee recognized his accomplishments which included oversight and extensive time committed to the progress made at Ashville Park with the sale of 90 lots in Village B, the sales of 22 lots in Village A, and progress in other areas of future development in this community. The Compensation Committee also recognized Mr. Foulger’s efforts in working on several other new business projects and his increasing involvement in supporting Mr. Borden with his managerial responsibilities.
 
For Ms. Ruhe, the Compensation Committee recognized her continued excellence in service to the Company where she has responsibility for accounting and risk management, cash and investments, contract administration, internal controls, and the management of human resources and the Company’s 401(k) Plan.  The Compensation Committee also recognized that Ms. Ruhe has had 20 years of continued employment with HomeFed, and its affiliate, Leucadia National Corporation, where her high standards in the performance of her duties have resulted in much of the Company’s success.
 
Based upon the foregoing, on December 30, 2013, the Compensation Committee approved annual salary increases (effective January 1, 2014) and discretionary 2013 cash bonuses for each of the Named Executive Officers reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below.
 
Additionally, all employees of the Company received a discretionary 2013 year-end bonus equal to approximately 3% of base salary.
 
Long-Term Incentives – Stock Options
 
By means of our Option Plan, we seek to retain the services of persons now holding key positions and to secure the services of persons capable of filling such positions.
 
Options Awarded to Executive Officers
 
Occasionally, stock options may be awarded which, under the terms of our Option Plan, permit the executive officer or other employee to purchase shares of our common stock at not less than the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the date of grant.  The extent to which the employee realizes any gain is, therefore, directly related to increases in the price of our common stock and, therefore, stockholder value, during the period of the option.  In certain circumstances, options having an exercise price below the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant may be issued (although none have been granted to date).  Options granted to executive officers become exercisable at the rate of 20% per year, commencing one year after the date of grant.  As discussed above under “Short-Term Incentives – Annual Bonus Compensation,” the number of stock options awarded to an executive officer is not based on any specific formula, but rather on a subjective assessment of the executive’s performance and the Company’s performance.  Options are priced at the closing price on the date of grant and are not granted to precede the announcement of favorable information.  The last time options were granted to executive officers was May 2010 (other than options granted to Paul J. Borden in his capacity as a director discussed below).

Options Awarded to Directors
 
Under the terms of our Option Plan, each director, including Paul J. Borden, is automatically granted options to purchase 1,000 shares on the date on which the annual meeting of our stockholders is held each year.  As stated above, options are priced at the closing price on the date of grant.
 
In July 2013, pursuant to this automatic grant, each director, including Paul J. Borden, was granted options to purchase 1,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $32.30 per share, which become exercisable at the rate of 25% per year, commencing one year after the date of grant.
 
Other Benefits; Executive Perquisites
 
Medical and life insurance benefits and matching contributions to our 401(k) plan are available to employees generally.
 
Mr. Borden maintains his primary residence in New Jersey.  We reimburse him for costs of maintaining a temporary residence in California, airfare to and from his primary residence and transportation costs including the personal use of a Company car while in California.  Such reimbursements are considered to be taxable compensation reportable by Mr. Borden under federal income tax rules, which results in a net cash cost to him, even though he does not gain any incremental financial benefit from these reimbursements.  As a result, beginning in 2005, the Board of Directors (without Mr. Borden’s participation) agreed to pay Mr. Borden additional compensation which, after taxes, will provide him with sufficient funds to pay the taxes due on the expense amounts reimbursed by us.  In 2013, we paid Mr. Borden $56,443 with respect to additional taxable compensation reported by Mr. Borden for reimbursements made during 2013.
 
Mr. Foulger receives the use of a Company owned car and certain related benefits, and Mr. Aden receives a monthly car allowance.
 
No other Named Executive Officers receive perquisites.
 
Stock Ownership Requirements
 
We do not have a formal stock ownership requirement, although two of our directors, Mr. Steinberg and Mr. Cumming, respectively, beneficially own approximately 9.4% and 7.7% of our outstanding common stock.
 
Accounting and Tax Matters
 
The cost of all share-based payments to employees or directors is recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.  The cost is recognized as an expense over the vesting period of the award.
 
Under the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, we would not be able to deduct compensation to our executive officers whose compensation is required to be disclosed for such year in excess of $1 million per year unless such compensation was within the definition of “performance-based compensation” or meets certain other criteria.  To qualify as “performance-based compensation,” in addition to certain other requirements, compensation generally must be based on achieving certain pre-established objective performance criteria.  The Board of Directors believes that compensation at such levels is not likely to be a recurring event and that it is in our interest to retain maximum flexibility in our compensation programs to enable us to appropriately reward, retain and attract the executive talent necessary to the Company’s success.  The Board recognizes that in appropriate circumstances compensation that is not deductible under Section 162(m) may be warranted and could be paid in the Board of Directors’ discretion.

Option Exercises and Stock Vested in Fiscal 2013
 
 
No stock options were exercised by the Named Executive Officers during 2013.
 
Director Compensation
 
In 2013, each director received a retainer of $24,000 for serving on the Board of Directors.  In addition, Mr. Considine was paid $26,000 for serving as Chairman of the Audit Committee and Dr. Lobatz was paid $17,000 for serving on the Audit Committee. Each of Messrs. Considine and Lobatz also received $62,500 for serving on the Independent Committee. See “Related Person Transactions,” below. Under the terms of our Option Plan, each director is automatically granted options to purchase 1,000 shares on the date on which the annual meeting of our stockholders is held each year.  The purchase price of the shares covered by such options is the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant.  These options become exercisable at the rate of 25% per year commencing one year after the date of grant.  As a result, options to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $32.30 per share were awarded to each of Messrs. Borden, Bienvenue, Considine, Cumming, Lobatz and Steinberg on July 11, 2013.  The Company reimburses directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in attending board and committee meetings.  This table sets forth compensation paid to the non-employee directors during 2013.

This table does not include disclosure for any perquisites or other personal benefits for any non-employee director because such amounts did not exceed $10,000 in the aggregate per director.
 
(4)
Mr. Bienvenue and the Company have entered into a consulting agreement pursuant to which Mr. Bienvenue has agreed to provide, on a per-diem basis, certain advisory and consulting services to the Company in connection with the planning, development and design of certain of the Company’s real estate development projects.  During 2013, no amounts were paid to Mr. Bienvenue pursuant to this agreement.   
 
Potential Payment Upon Termination of Employment
 
None of the Named Executive Officers is a party to an employment agreement.  However, under the terms of our current Option Plan, the time within which to exercise vested options may be extended in accordance with the Option Plan, but not beyond the expiration date of the option, for a period of either three months, one year or three years, depending on the triggering event (which are various forms of termination of employment); these triggering events do not result in any acceleration of any unvested options.  For the number of options exercisable by each Named Executive Officer as of December 31, 2013 see the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table above.
 
Upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event of the Company (as defined in the Option Plan, including a change in control of the Company) all then-outstanding options that have not vested or become exercisable will immediately become exercisable.  Had an Extraordinary Event occurred on December 31, 2013, Mr. Borden would have received $207,850, Ms. Ruhe would have received $116,000 and Mr. Foulger would have received $69,600 for their outstanding previously unvested stock options (determined by multiplying (A) the spread between the $36.60 closing price on December 31, 2013 and the per common share exercise price for each option by (B) the number of common shares covered by previously unvested options.

Compensation Policies and Risk Management
 
The Company does not have a formal compensation plan for any of its employees.  Annually, the Compensation Committee will consider making incentive compensation awards that are purely discretionary, taking into account the employee’s individual performance as well as the Company’s performance for the particular year.  Accordingly, the Company believes that its compensation policies do not reward employees for imprudent risk taking.

As of February 28, 2014, Cede & Co. held of record 4,544,426 shares of our common stock (approximately 57.7% of our total common stock outstanding).  Cede & Co. held such shares as a nominee for broker-dealer members of The Depository Trust Company, which conducts clearing and settlement operations for securities transactions involving its members.
 
As described herein, our common stock is subject to transfer restrictions that are designed to reduce the possibility that certain changes in ownership could result in limitations on the use of our tax attributes.  Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions that generally restrict the ability of a person or entity from acquiring ownership (including through attribution under the tax law) of 5% or more of our common shares and the ability of persons or entities now owning 5% or more of our common shares from acquiring additional common shares.  Stockholders (and prospective stockholders) are advised that, under the tax law rules incorporated in these provisions, the acquisition of even a single share of common stock may be proscribed under our certificate of incorporation, given (among other things) the tax law ownership attribution rules as well as the tax law rules applicable to acquisitions made in coordination with or in concert with others.  The restriction will remain until the earliest of (a) December 31, 2028, (b) the repeal of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any comparable successor provision) and (c) the beginning of our taxable year to which these tax attributes may no longer be carried forward.  The restriction may be waived by our Board of Directors.
 
Stockholders are advised to carefully monitor their ownership of our common stock and consult their own legal advisors and/or us to determine whether their ownership of our common shares approaches the proscribed level.  Based upon discussions with BMO, we believe that the beneficial ownership (determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) by BMO of our common stock as reflected in the table above is not in violation of the transfer restrictions contained in our certificate of incorporation.
 
Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.
 
Policies and Procedures with Respect to Transactions with Related Persons
 
The Board has adopted a policy for the review, approval and ratification of transactions that involve “related persons” and potential conflicts of interest (the “Related Person Transaction Policy”). The Related Person Transaction Policy applies to each director and executive officer of the Company, any nominee for election as a director of the Company, any security holder who is known to own of record or beneficially more than five percent of any class of the Company’s voting securities, any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, and any corporation, firm, association or other entity in which one or more directors of the Company are directors or officers, or have a substantial financial interest (each a “Related Person”). Under the Related Person Transaction Policy, a Related Person Transaction is defined as a transaction or arrangement involving a Related Person in which the Company is a participant or that would require disclosure in the Company’s filings with the SEC.
 
Under the Related Person Transaction Policy, Related Persons must disclose to the Audit Committee any potential Related Person Transactions and must disclose all material facts with respect to such transaction.  All Related Person Transactions will be reviewed by the Audit Committee and, in its discretion, approved or ratified.  In determining whether to approve or ratify a Related Person Transaction the Audit Committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances of the Related Person Transaction, which may include factors such as the relationship of the Related Person with the Company, the materiality or significance of the transaction to the Company and the Related Person, the business purpose and reasonableness of the transaction, whether the transaction is comparable to a transaction that could be available to the Company on an arms-length basis, and the impact of the transaction on the Company’s business and operations.

Related Person Transactions
 
The Company is required to obtain infrastructure improvement bonds primarily for the benefit of the City of San Marcos prior to the beginning of lot construction work and warranty bonds upon completion of such improvements in the San Elijo Hills project.  These bonds provide funds primarily to the City in the event the Company is unable or unwilling to complete certain infrastructure improvements in the San Elijo Hills project.  Leucadia is contractually obligated to obtain these bonds on behalf of the subsidiaries through which the San Elijo Hills project is owned pursuant to the terms of agreements entered into when those subsidiaries were acquired by the Company.  Those subsidiaries are responsible for paying all third party fees related to obtaining the bonds.  Should the City or others draw on the bonds for any reason, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries would be obligated to reimburse Leucadia for the amount drawn.  As of December 31, 2013, the amount of outstanding bonds was approximately $2,600,000, none of which has been drawn upon.
 
Since 1995, Leucadia has been providing administrative and accounting services to the Company.  Under the current administrative services agreement, Leucadia provides services to the Company for a monthly fee of $15,000 ($180,000 in the aggregate for all of 2013).  Pursuant to this agreement, Leucadia provides the services of Ms. Corinne A. Maki, the Company’s Secretary, in addition to various administrative functions.  Ms. Maki is an officer of subsidiaries of Leucadia.  The term of the administrative services agreement automatically renews for successive annual periods unless terminated in accordance with its terms.  Leucadia has the right to terminate the agreement by giving the Company not less than one year’s prior notice, in which event the then monthly fee will remain in effect until the end of the notice period.  The Company has the right to terminate the agreement, without restriction or penalty, upon 30 days prior written notice to Leucadia.  The agreement has not been terminated by either party.
 
As previously disclosed, on February 28, 2014, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Leucadia and certain of its subsidiaries pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase (collectively, the “Acquisition”) (a) all of the equity interests of certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Leucadia (the “Acquired Subsidiaries”), (b) certain of the equity interests of entities partially owned by Leucadia (the “Investment Subsidiaries”) and (c) cash of approximately $18.4 million, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement (collectively the “Purchased Assets”). The Company, as consideration for the Purchased Assets, agreed to issue to Leucadia 7,500,000 unregistered shares of common stock of the Company (the “Acquisition Shares”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement. The Acquisition Shares will be subject to certain demand and piggy-back registration rights pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 21, 2002, by and between the Company and Leucadia. The closing of the Acquisition, which is expected to occur in March of 2014, remains subject to customary closing conditions. The terms and conditions of the Acquisition, including the Purchase Agreement, were negotiated and approved by a special independent committee of the Company’s Board (the “Independent Committee”) and ratified by the Company’s Board, the membership of which includes Joseph S. Steinberg, the Chairman of the board of directors of Leucadia, and Ian M. Cumming, a former member of the board of directors of Leucadia.  Prior to February 28, 2014, Messrs. Steinberg and Cumming, together with Leucadia, constituted a group that held approximately 48.5% of the Company’s common stock outstanding prior to the completion of the Acquisition. As reflected in Schedule 13Ds filed by each of Leucadia, Mr. Steinberg and Mr. Cumming, on February 28, 2014, the group has been disbanded.  Mr. Steinberg abstained from the ratifying vote of the Company’s Board. As part of its review and analysis of the Acquisition, the Independent Committee received a fairness opinion from Duff & Phelps LLC, as its financial advisor.
 
The Audit Committee, the Board or the Independent Committee, as applicable, has approved or ratified each of the foregoing.
 
Director Independence
 
The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Considine and Dr. Lobatz are independent applying the NASDAQ Stock Market’s listing standards for independence.
 
Item 14.  Principal Accounting Fees and Services.
 
The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for pre-approving all audit and non-audit work performed by the Company’s independent auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.  The Audit Committee has pre-approved (i) certain general categories of work where no specific case-by-case approval is necessary (“general pre-approvals”) and (ii) categories of work which require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee (“specific pre-approvals”).  For additional services or services in an amount above the annual amount that has been pre-approved, additional authorization from the Audit Committee is required.  The Audit Committee has delegated to the Committee chair the ability to pre-approve all of these services.  Any pre-approval decisions made by the Committee chair under this delegated authority will be reported to the full Audit Committee.  All requests for services to be provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that do not require specific approval by the Audit Committee must be submitted to the Controller of the Company, who determines whether such services are in fact within the scope of those services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee.  The Controller reports to the Audit Committee periodically.

Audit Fees
 
In accordance with the SEC’s definitions and rules, Audit Fees are fees paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for professional services for the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K, the review of financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-Qs, services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements including compliance with regulatory matters, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and consulting with respect to technical accounting and disclosure rules.  All such services were approved by the Audit Committee.  Such amounts aggregated $269,000 and $239,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Additionally in 2013, the Company incurred audit related fees of $70,000.
