PART I
Item 1. Business.
THE COMPANY
Introduction
HomeFed Corporation (“HomeFed”) was incorporated in Delaware in 1988. As used herein, the term “Company” refers to HomeFed and its subsidiaries, except as the context may otherwise require. The Company is currently engaged, directly and through subsidiaries, in the investment in and development of residential real estate projects in California and Virginia. The Company also investigates the acquisition of new real estate projects, both residential and commercial. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will find new investments providing a satisfactory return or, if found, that the Company will have access to the capital necessary to make new real estate investments. The executive office of the Company is located at 1903 Wright Place, Suite 220, Carlsbad, California 92008.
The Company’s current development projects consist of three master-planned communities: San Elijo Hills and a portion of the larger Otay Ranch planning area, both located in San Diego County, California, and Ashville Park located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The Company also owns the Rampage property, a 1,544 acre grape vineyard located in southern Madera County, California, which is not currently entitled for commercial or residential development, and the Fanita Ranch property, a 2,600 acre parcel of vacant land located in Santee, California.
As the owner of development projects, the Company is responsible for the completion of a wide range of activities, including design engineering, grading raw land, constructing public infrastructure such as streets, utilities and public facilities, and finishing individual lots for home sites or other facilities. Prior to commencement of development, the Company may engage in incidental activities to maintain the value of the project; such activities are not treated as a separate operating segment. The Company develops and markets its communities in phases to allow itself the flexibility to sell finished lots to suit market conditions and to enable it to create stable and attractive neighborhoods. Consequently, at any particular time, the various phases of a project will be in different stages of land development and construction. In addition, from time to time the Company has received expressions of interest from buyers for multiple phases of a project, or the remaining undeveloped land of an entire project. The Company evaluates these proposals when it receives them, but no assurance can be given that the Company will sell all or any portion of its development projects in such a manner.
For any master-planned community, plans must be prepared that provide for infrastructure, neighborhoods, commercial and industrial areas, educational and other institutional or public facilities, adequate water supply, as well as open space, in compliance with regulations regarding reduction in emissions of greenhouse gasses. Once preliminary plans have been prepared, numerous governmental approvals, licenses, permits and agreements, referred to as “entitlements,” must be obtained before development and construction may commence. These often involve a number of different governmental jurisdictions and agencies, challenges through litigation, considerable risk and expense, and substantial delays. Unless and until the requisite entitlements are received and substantial work has been commenced in reliance upon such entitlements, a developer generally does not have full “vested rights” to develop a project, and as a result, allocation of acreage between developable and non-developable land may change. In addition, as a precondition to receipt of building-related permits, master-planned communities are typically required to pay impact and capacity fees, or to otherwise satisfy mitigation requirements.
Current Development Projects
San Elijo Hills
In 2002, the Company purchased from Leucadia National Corporation (“Leucadia”) all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CDS Holding Corporation (“CDS”), which through its subsidiaries is the owner of the San Elijo Hills project (title is owned in fee simple). The San Elijo Hills project, a master-planned community located in the City of San Marcos in San Diego County, California, will be a community of approximately 3,500 homes and apartments, as well as a commercial and residential Towncenter. Since August 1998, the Company has been the development manager for this project, with responsibility for the overall management of the project, including, among other things, preserving existing entitlements and obtaining any additional entitlements required for the project, arranging financing for the project, coordinating marketing and sales activity, and acting as the construction manager. The development management agreement provides that the Company receive fees for the field overhead, management and marketing services it provides (“development management fees”), based on the revenues of the project.
When acquired in 2002, the Company had an effective 68% indirect equity interest in the San Elijo Hills project, after considering noncontrolling interests held by former owners of the project. In December 2012, the Company purchased one of the
2
noncontrolling interests; as a result the Company’s interest in the San Elijo Hills project is now 85%. Before amounts are distributed to the remaining noncontrolling shareholders, the Company has the right to receive repayment of any amounts advanced by it to the project and to receive a preferred return on any advances. For more information on the noncontrolling interests, see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Current Market Developments: Throughout much of the period that the Company has been developing the San Elijo Hills project, the Company’s sales efforts greatly benefited from a strong regional and national residential housing market. However, beginning in 2006, residential property sales volume, prices and new building starts declined significantly in many U.S. markets, including California and the greater San Diego region, which negatively affected sales and profits. The slowdown in residential sales was exacerbated by the turmoil in the mortgage lending and credit markets, which resulted in stricter lending standards and reduced liquidity for prospective home buyers. Sales of new homes and re-sales of existing homes declined substantially from the early years of the project’s development; based on information obtained from homebuilders and other public sources, the Company estimates that total home sales (both new and re-sales) at the San Elijo Hills project were approximately 376 in 2013 as compared to 860 in 2004. As of December 31, 2013, the San Elijo Hills project has sold 2,204 of its 2,382 single family lots and 1,071 of its 1,081 multi-family units. The single family lots sold do not include 52 previously sold lots that were repurchased in 2012 and are currently available for sale.
Interest from homebuilders concerning the San Elijo Hills project’s remaining single family lots and multi-family units has increased since late 2009, and the Company has been able to sell some single family lots and multi-family units at acceptable prices. Although recent homebuilder interest and sales activity in the project are encouraging, it is uncertain if the Company will be able to sell its remaining inventory at prices it finds acceptable. The Company has substantially completed development of all of its remaining residential single family lots at the San Elijo Hills project, many of which are “premium” lots which are expected to command premium prices if, and when, the market fully recovers. The Company believes that by exercising patience and waiting for market conditions to improve it can best maximize shareholder value with its remaining residential lot inventory. However, on an ongoing basis the Company evaluates the local real estate market and economic conditions in general, and updates its expectations of future market conditions as it continues to assess the best time to market its remaining residential lot inventory for sale.
Estimates of future property available for sale, the timing of the sales, selling prices and future development costs are based upon current development plans for the project and will change based on the strength of the real estate market or other factors that are not within the control of the Company.
Sales Activity: The table below summarizes sales activity at the San Elijo Hills project during the last three years. Since the Company is obligated to complete certain improvements to the lots sold, a portion of the revenue from sales of real estate is deferred, and is recognized as revenues upon the completion of the required improvements to the property, including costs related to common areas, under the percentage of completion method of accounting. As of December 31, 2013, $1,200,000 of revenue has been deferred pending completion of the required improvements.

The Company has completed construction of the first phase of the Towncenter, which included 12 residential condominium units, all of which have been sold, and 11,000 square feet of commercial space, all of which has been leased. The plan for phase two of the Towncenter has not yet been developed.
Ashville Park
In February 2012, the Company acquired Ashville Park, a 450 acre master planned community located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, for cash consideration of $17,350,000 including closing costs. The Company acquired 451 entitled single family lots, of which 91 lots were finished lots that were available for sale and one lot was a visitor center. The project is being developed in phases, with the first phase (Village A) including the acquired finished lots and the second phase (Village B) a 164 lot development. The timing of the development and sale of the remaining 280 lots (as of February 6, 2014) and the visitor center is uncertain.
During 2013, the Company sold 90 lots from Village B for aggregate cash consideration of $9,000,000. During 2013 and 2012, the Company sold 22 and 54 lots from Village A for aggregate cash consideration of $3,900,000 and $8,200,000 (including one lot with a completed home), respectively. Since the Company is obligated to complete certain improvements to the lots sold, a portion of the revenue from sales of real estate is deferred, and is recognized as revenues upon the completion of the required improvements to the property, including costs related to common areas, under the percentage of completion method of accounting. As of December 31, 2013, $1,500,000 of revenue has been deferred pending completion of the required improvements.
Otay Ranch
In October 1998, our subsidiary Otay Land Company, LLC (“Otay Land Company”) acquired approximately 4,850 non-adjoining acres of land located within the larger 22,900 acre Otay Ranch master-planned community south of San Diego, California (title is owned in fee simple). The City of Chula Vista and the County of San Diego approved a General Development Plan (“GDP”) for the larger planning area in 1993.
Since acquisition, Otay Land Company has disposed of part of its land in several sales transactions and an eminent domain proceeding. After considering these dispositions, Otay Land Company owns approximately 2,800 acres, of which the total developable area is approximately 700 acres, including approximately 170 acres of land designated as “Limited Development Area and Common Use Area.” The remaining approximately 2,100 acres are designated as various qualities of non-developable open space mitigation land. Under the GDP, 1.188 acres of open space mitigation land from within the Otay Ranch project must be dedicated to the government for each 1.0 acre of land that is developed, excluding land designated Limited Development Area and Common Use Area.
Although there is no specified time within which implementation of the GDP must be completed, it is expected that full development of the larger planning area will take many years. The GDP establishes land use goals, objectives and policies within the larger planning area. The GDP for the larger planning area contemplates home sites, a golf-oriented resort and residential community, commercial retail centers, a proposed university site and a network of infrastructure, including roads and highways, a public transportation system, park systems and schools. Any development within the larger Otay Ranch master-planned community must be consistent with the GDP. While the GDP can be amended, subject to approval by either or both the City of Chula Vista and the County of San Diego, Otay Land Company has certain vested and contractual rights, pursuant to a development agreement, that protect its development interests in Chula Vista, covering substantially all of its developable land. However, actual land development will require that further entitlements and approvals be obtained.
Some owners of development land have adequate or excess mitigation land, while other owners lack sufficient acreage of mitigation land to cover their inventory of development land. Otay Land Company currently has substantially more mitigation land than it would need to develop its property at this project. Based upon the GDP conditions, this land could have value to other developers within the larger Otay Ranch development area as their development progresses; however, this is partially dependent upon other parties with developable land fully developing their land. Should other owners choose not to develop their developable land, there will be an excess of mitigation land in Otay Ranch. In that event, Otay Land Company will have to find buyers for its mitigation land outside the GDP area, which the Company believes it can do.
The Company continues to evaluate how to maximize the value of this investment while processing further entitlements on portions of its property. The Company has been working with the City of Chula Vista and other developers on a GDP amendment for the overall Otay Ranch area. In April 2008, the City of Chula Vista approved an agreement whereby the Company dedicated 50 acres of development land in the Otay Ranch project and 160 acres of open space land in the unincorporated area of San Diego County and committed to pay an endowment of $2,000,000 (of which $1,000,000 has been paid) to fund costs associated with establishing a higher education facility on the property. Subject to numerous public hearings and the discretionary action of the City Council, the City committed to allocate a maximum of 6,050 residential units and 1.8 million square feet of commercial development space to the Company’s project, and agreed to process its development applications by August 2011. The Company's development applications have not as yet been fully approved. However, in December 2013, the entitlements for the Otay Ranch Village 8 were
4
approved by the Chula Vista City Council, which includes approvals for the future development of up to 1,429 multi-family and 621 single family units. This flexible development plan also provides for up to 300,000 square feet of retail and office use. The Company continues to work with the City to obtain the remaining approvals while retaining its rights to seek a refund of the endowment funds and return of the land should the full project approvals ultimately not be received.
During 2007, the San Diego Expressway Limited Partnership (“SDELP”) completed construction of a toll road designated as SR 125 through south San Diego County. This toll road runs along the western border of one of Otay Land Company’s land parcels and is a quarter mile east of another. The toll road was designed with one or more interchanges, which have yet to be built, on or adjacent to land parcels owned by the Company. When complete, these interchanges will significantly improve access to this area in the southern portion of Otay Ranch, which could increase the value of the Company’s land. Otay Land Company and other adjacent property owners will need to negotiate with the City of Chula Vista and SDELP regarding the construction timing and financing of interchanges that will provide access to SR 125.
Significant design and processing will be required to fully entitle the Company’s property in Otay Ranch before development and sale of the finished neighborhoods to builders can begin, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in receiving the entitlements necessary for any future development. If or when development does occur, it will likely be phased based on market conditions at the time of development and the progress of infrastructure improvements. As a result, the Company is unable to predict when revenues will be derived from this project. The ultimate development of projects of this type is subject to significant governmental and environmental regulation and approval and is likely to take many years. For additional information concerning governmental and environmental matters, see “Government Regulation” and “Environmental Compliance” below.

Other Projects
Rampage Property
The Company owns a 1,544 acre grape vineyard located in southern Madera County, California (title is owned in fee simple) that was purchased in 2003. Although this property is not currently entitled for residential development, it is located in a growing residential area northwest of Fresno, California. The Company purchased this land with the intention of obtaining the necessary entitlements to develop the property as a master-planned community, including meeting requirements with respect to adequate water supply. In California, laws require that any large size residential community have sufficient water supplies to meet the water demands of the project for a period of 20 years. A preliminary site plan for development of the Rampage property showed that the land would support a master-planned community, but even if all entitlements are received, the build out and sale of homes will take many years. The entitlement process takes several years and no assurance can be given that such entitlements will be obtained, or that that future market conditions will support development of the Rampage property into a master-planned community. In the interim, the Company has been conducting farming activities at the vineyard and, starting in 2010, has been generating positive cash flows from selling grapes.
The Company continues to evaluate its plans for the Rampage property. During 2011, the Company engaged a real estate brokerage firm to sell the Rampage property but the Company did not receive any offers it found acceptable. While a sale of the property in the future is possible, the Company continues to conduct farming activities while it explores possible development as a master-planned community. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, farming revenues from the Rampage property were $4,900,000, $6,400,000 and $6,000,000, respectively, and farming expenses were $2,850,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
Fanita Ranch
In January 2011, the Company acquired in a foreclosure sale the Fanita Ranch property, a 2,600 acre parcel of vacant land located in Santee, California, for aggregate consideration of $12,350,000. The City of Santee is located at the intersection of SR125 and SR52 in East San Diego County, about a 30 minute drive from downtown San Diego. Fanita Ranch is a master-planned community that is approved for approximately 1,400 residential units. The project’s Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) and development agreement with the City of Santee were approved in 2007.
During 2013, the existing project entitlements for the Fanita Ranch property were successfully challenged under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) related to alleged defects in the EIR. As a result, the City of Santee has decertified the project’s EIR and rescinded the project’s discretionary approvals pending City compliance with the court order. The Company continues to evaluate its options, which could include addressing the defects in the existing entitlements or submitting an entirely new plan for the project.
5
If the Company is successful in obtaining a new EIR, the timing of which is uncertain, there are no assurances that real estate market conditions, or costs of construction, will allow the project to be profitably developed as currently planned. The Company acquired the property with the intention of completing the necessary entitlements to develop the property as a master-planned community, although there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts. If successful, obtaining all the entitlements is expected to take years.
Competition
Real estate development is a highly competitive business. There are numerous residential real estate developers and development projects operating in the same geographic areas in which the Company operates. Competition among real estate developers and development projects is determined by the location of the real estate, the market appeal of the development plan, and the developer’s ability to build, market and deliver project segments on a timely basis. Many of the Company’s competitors may have greater financial resources and/or access to cheaper capital than the Company. Residential developers sell to homebuilders, who compete based on location, price, market segmentation, product design and reputation.
Government Regulation
The residential real estate development industry is subject to substantial environmental, building, construction, zoning and real estate regulations that are imposed by various federal, state and local authorities. In developing a community, the Company must obtain the approval of numerous government agencies regarding such matters as permitted land uses, housing density, the installation of utility services (such as water, sewer, gas, electric, telephone and cable television) and the dedication of acreage for open space, parks, schools and other community purposes. Regulations affect homebuilding by specifying, among other things, the type and quality of building materials that must be used, certain aspects of land use and building design and the manner in which homebuilders may conduct their sales, operations, and overall relationships with potential home buyers. Furthermore, changes in prevailing local circumstances or applicable laws may require additional approvals, or modifications of approvals previously obtained.
Timing of the initiation and completion of development projects depends upon receipt of necessary authorizations and approvals. Because of the provisional nature of these approvals and the concerns of various environmental and public interest groups, the approval process can be delayed by withdrawals or modifications of preliminary approvals and by litigation and appeals challenging development rights. The ability of the Company to develop projects could be delayed or prevented due to litigation challenging previously obtained governmental approvals. The Company may also be subject to periodic delays or may be precluded entirely from developing in certain communities due to building moratoriums or "slow-growth" or "no-growth" initiatives that could be implemented in the future. Such delays could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete its projects, significantly increase the costs of doing so or drive potential customers to purchase competitors’ products.
Environmental Compliance
Environmental laws may cause the Company to incur substantial compliance, mitigation and other costs, may restrict or prohibit development in certain areas and may delay completion of the Company’s development projects. Delays arising from compliance with environmental laws and regulations could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete its projects and significantly increase development costs.
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, an owner or operator of real property may become liable for the costs of the investigation, removal and remediation of hazardous or toxic substances at that property. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances. In addition to remediation actions brought by federal, state and local agencies, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in personal injury, contribution or other claims by private parties. We have not received any claim or notification from any private party or governmental authority concerning environmental conditions at any of our properties other than as disclosed below.
The Company obtained a preliminary remediation study concerning approximately 30 acres of undeveloped land in the Otay Ranch master-planned community that is owned by a subsidiary of Otay Land Company, Flat Rock Land Company, LLC (“Flat Rock”). Flat Rock owns approximately 260 acres of the Company’s total holdings in the Otay Ranch area, including 100 developable acres. The need for remediation results from activities conducted on the land prior to Otay Land Company’s ownership. Based upon the preliminary findings of this study, in 2002 the Company estimated that the cost to implement the most likely remediation alternative would be approximately $11,150,000, and accrued that amount as an operating expense. The estimated liability was neither discounted nor reduced for claims for recovery from previous owners and users of the land who may be liable, and may increase or decrease based upon the actual extent and nature of the remediation required, the actual cost of the remediation, the expenses of the regulatory process, the costs of post-remediation monitoring requirements, inflation and other items.
6
The Company periodically examines, and when appropriate, adjusts its liability for environmental remediation to reflect its current best estimate. During 2004, the Company increased its estimate of remediation costs by approximately $1,300,000, primarily due to increases in site investigation and remediation costs, and during 2003 by approximately $250,000, primarily for consulting costs. During 2012, the Company revised its estimate of future remediation costs, including on-going monitoring expenses, which resulted in a reduction in the previously accrued estimate of $1,500,000. Such amount was reflected on the consolidated statement of operations as a reduction to expenses.
During the fourth quarter of 2012, upon receipt of required approvals, the Company commenced remediation activities, which were completed in February 2013. The Company received final approval from the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health in June 2013; as a result, the Company reduced its liability for environmental remediation by $650,000.
Otay Land Company and Flat Rock have commenced a lawsuit in California Superior Court seeking compensation from the parties who Otay Land Company and Flat Rock believe are responsible for the contamination of the property. The trial in this matter is expected to conclude in 2014. The Company can give no assurances that this lawsuit will be successful, or that it will be able to recover any of the costs incurred in investigating and/or remediating the contamination.
Employees
At December 31, 2013, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries had 16 full-time employees.

Our results of operations and financial condition are greatly affected by the performance of the real estate industry. The real estate development industry has historically been subject to up and down cycles driven by numerous market and economic factors, both national and local, beyond the control of the real estate developer. Because of the effect these factors have on real estate values, it is difficult to predict with certainty when future sales will occur or what the sales price will be.
Changes in mortgage interest rate levels could impact demand for housing. Our business is dependent upon the availability and cost of mortgage financing for potential homebuyers. Any significant increase in the prevailing low mortgage interest rate environment or decrease in available credit could reduce consumer demand for housing, and result in fewer home sales or lower sale prices.
Turmoil in the mortgage lending market has adversely affected our results in the past and could negatively impact our results in the future. The residential real estate development industry is dependent upon the availability of financing for both homebuilders and homebuyers. Turmoil in the credit markets that began in 2008 resulted in a tightening of credit standards for residential and commercial mortgages and significantly reduced liquidity, adversely affecting the ability of homebuilders and homebuyers to obtain financing, which in turn adversely impacted our ability to sell lots. Although available liquidity in the mortgage lending market has improved since 2008, significant reductions in mortgage lending liquidity in the future would adversely affect our business.
Our business is currently concentrated in Southern California, specifically in the San Diego area. As a result, our financial results are dependent on the economic strength of that region. Significant increases in local unemployment and cost of living, including increases in residential property taxes, or concerns about the financial condition of the municipalities in which the Company has properties, could adversely affect consumer demand for our housing projects and negatively impact our financial results.
Residential property sales volume, prices and new building starts have declined significantly in many U.S. markets, including California and the greater San Diego region, which have negatively affected sales and profits. A worsening of current economic conditions could cause a decline in estimated future cash flows expected to be generated from the Company’s real estate projects, potentially resulting in impairment charges for real estate assets. When reviewing real estate assets for impairment, the most significant assumption made to determine estimated future cash flows is the estimated future selling prices of the Company’s real estate assets. If current conditions worsen and/or if the Company lowers its estimate of future selling prices, impairment charges could be recorded.
Changes in domestic laws and government regulations or in the implementation and/or enforcement of government rules and regulations may delay our projects or increase our costs. Our plans for development projects require numerous government approvals, licenses, permits and agreements, which we must obtain before we can begin development and construction. Our negotiations with local authorities often result in requirements for us to incur development expenses related to improvements for roads, sewers or other common areas that are both inside and outside of our project area. The approval process can be delayed by withdrawals or modifications of preliminary approvals, by litigation and appeals challenging development rights and by changes in prevailing local circumstances or applicable laws that may require additional approvals. Regulatory requirements may delay the start or completion of our projects and/or increase our costs.
Demographic changes in the U.S. generally and California in particular could reduce the demand for housing. If the current trend of population increases in California were not to continue, or in the event of any significant reductions in employment, demand for real estate in California may decline from current levels.
Increases in real estate taxes and other local government fees could adversely affect our results. Increases in real estate taxes and other government fees may make it more expensive to own the properties that we are currently developing, which would increase our carrying costs of owning the properties.
Significant competition from other real estate developers and homebuilders could adversely affect our results. Many of our competitors may have advantages over us, such as more favorable locations which may provide better schools and easier access to roads and shopping, or amenities that we may not offer, as well as greater financial resources and/or access to cheaper capital. In addition, the downturn in the real estate markets nationwide could result in an influx of lower-priced lots and homes coming onto the market, as competitors need to address their individual liquidity needs. Lower-priced homes and lots would increase the competition the Company faces, and could adversely affect our ability to sell lots and/or pricing.
Delays in construction schedules and cost overruns could adversely affect us. Any material delays could adversely affect our ability to complete our projects, significantly increasing the costs of doing so, or drive potential customers to purchase competitors’ products.
Increased costs for land, materials and for labor could adversely affect us. If these costs increase, it will increase the costs of completing our projects; if we are not able to recoup these increased costs, our results of operations would be adversely affected.
8
Imposition of limitations on our ability to develop our properties resulting from condemnations, environmental laws and regulations and developments in or new applications thereof could increase our costs and delay our projects. When we acquire our projects, our estimate of future profits and cash flows is derived from our estimates of future selling prices and development costs, less acquisition costs. Subsequent to acquisition, if environmental laws or other regulations change resulting in additional unanticipated costs, future profitability and cash flows could be reduced, and impairment charges might have to be recorded.
Property in California is at risk from earthquakes, fires and other natural disasters. Damage to any of our properties, whether by natural disasters, including earthquakes, and fires or otherwise, may either delay or preclude our ability to develop and sell our properties, or affect the price at which we may sell such properties.
Under California law we could be liable for some construction defects in structures we build or that are built on land that we develop. California law imposes some liabilities on developers of land on which homes are built as well as on builders. Future construction defect litigation could be based on a strict liability theory based on our involvement in the project or it could be related to infrastructure improvements or grading, even if we are not building homes ourselves.
We may not be able to insure certain risks economically. We may experience economic harm if any damage to our properties is not covered by insurance or that our insurance is insufficient or unavailable. We cannot be certain that we will be able to insure all risks that we desire to insure economically or that all of our insurers will be financially viable if we make a claim.
Shortages of adequate water resources and reliable energy sources in the areas where we own real estate projects could adversely affect the value of our properties or restrict us from commencing development. If we are unable to obtain adequate water resources and reliable energy sources for our development projects, development of the projects might be delayed, resulting in reduced profitability and cash flows.
The actual cost of environmental liabilities concerning land owned in San Diego County, California could exceed the amount we reserved for such matter. If the actual cost of the environmental remediation for land owned by Flat Rock is more than amounts reserved for additional expenses will have to be recorded.
Opposition from local community, political or environmental groups with respect to construction or development at a particular site could increase development costs. At acquisition, the Fanita Ranch property had an approved EIR and development agreement. However, the projects existing entitlements have been challenged, some of which have been successful, resulting in the Company incurring legal expenses to defend its entitlements and being required to reimburse legal and other costs incurred by the plaintiffs. Further challenges to the Company’s entitlements at any of its projects are possible, which would result in increased legal fees, development costs and/or delays in development.
We may not be able to generate sufficient taxable income to fully realize our net deferred tax asset. If we are unable to generate sufficient taxable income to fully realize our net deferred tax asset the valuation allowance would have to be increased resulting in reduced profitability.
Significant influence over our affairs may be exercised by our principal stockholders. As of February 6, 2014, the significant stockholders of our Company are Leucadia (approximately 31.4% beneficial ownership), our Chairman, Joseph S. Steinberg (approximately 9.4% beneficial ownership, including ownership by trusts for the benefit of his respective family members, but excluding Mr. Steinberg's private charitable foundation) and one of our directors, Ian M. Cumming (approximately 7.7% beneficial ownership, including ownership by certain family members, but excluding Mr. Cumming's charitable foundation). Mr. Steinberg is also Chairman, a director and a significant stockholder of Leucadia. As a result of the merger between a subsidiary of Leucadia and Jefferies Group LLC (formerly, Jefferies Group, Inc.), Mr. Cumming is no longer a principal executive officer or a director of Leucadia, and Richard B. Handler and Brian P. Friedman have become Leucadia’s Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively. Accordingly, changes in Leucadia’s management could affect its influence over matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election or removal of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions.
Our common stock is subject to transfer restrictions. We and certain of our subsidiaries have certain tax attributes, the amount and availability of which are subject to certain qualifications, limitations and uncertainties. In order to reduce the possibility that certain changes in ownership could result in limitations on the use of the 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 stock and the ability of persons or entities now owning 5% or more of our common stock from acquiring additional common stock. 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 stock approaches the proscribed level.

Our common stock is not traded on NASDAQ or listed on any securities exchange. Prices for our common stock are quoted on the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board. Securities whose prices are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board do not enjoy the same liquidity as securities that trade on a recognized market or securities exchange. As a result, stockholders may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the securities.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The purpose of this section is to discuss and analyze the Company’s consolidated financial condition, liquidity and capital resources and results of operations. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, related footnote disclosures and “Cautionary Statements for Forward-Looking Information,” which appear elsewhere in this Report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash of $30,300,000, $12,400,000 and $13,000,000 was provided by operating activities during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, principally from the proceeds from the sale of real estate at the San Elijo Hills project and sales of bulk grapes and, in 2013 and 2012, from the proceeds from the sale of real estate at the Ashville Park project. Information about the remaining real estate to be sold at the San Elijo Hills and Ashville Park projects is provided below. Because of the nature of its real estate projects, the Company does not expect operating cash flows will be consistent from year to year.
HomeFed’s principal sources of funds are cash and cash equivalents and investments, proceeds from the sale of real estate, proceeds from sales of bulk grapes, rental income primarily from the San Elijo Hills Towncenter, fee income from the San Elijo Hills project, dividends and tax sharing payments from its subsidiaries and borrowings from or repayment of advances by its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had consolidated cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities aggregating $89,200,000, substantially all of which was held by the parent company and available to be used without restriction.
The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities classified as available for sale, together with the other sources described above, will be sufficient for both its short and long term liquidity needs. Residential sales at the San Elijo Hills and Ashville Park projects are expected to be a source of funds to the Company in the future; however, except as otherwise disclosed the amount and timing is uncertain. The Company is not relying on receipt of funds from Otay Land Company or the Fanita Ranch project for the foreseeable future, since the timing of sales of undeveloped property, development activity and sales of developable and undevelopable property cannot be predicted with any certainty. However, these projects are not expected to require material funds in the short term, and long term needs will not be determined until a development plan is established. Property development expenditures at the Rampage project, if any, are not expected to be significant for the next few years. In the interim, the Company has been conducting farming activities at the vineyard and has been generating positive cash flows from selling grapes since 2010. Except as disclosed herein, the Company is not committed to acquire any new real estate projects, but it believes it has sufficient liquidity to take advantage of appropriate acquisition opportunities if they are presented.
Throughout much of the period that the Company has been developing the San Elijo Hills project, the Company’s sales efforts greatly benefited from a strong regional and national residential housing market. However, beginning in 2006, residential property sales volume, prices and new building starts declined significantly in many U.S. markets, including California and the greater San Diego region, which negatively affected sales and profits. The slowdown in residential sales was exacerbated by the turmoil in the mortgage lending and credit markets, which resulted in stricter lending standards and reduced liquidity for prospective home buyers. Sales of new homes and re-sales of existing homes declined substantially from the early years of the project’s development; based on information obtained from homebuilders and other public sources, the Company estimates that total home sales (both new and re-sales) at the San Elijo Hills project were approximately 376 in 2013 as compared to 860 in 2004.
14
Interest from homebuilders concerning the San Elijo project’s remaining single family lots and multi-family units has increased since late 2009, and the Company has been able to sell some single family lots and multi-family units at acceptable prices. Although recent homebuilder interest and sales activity in the project are encouraging, it is uncertain if the Company will be able to sell its remaining inventory at prices it finds acceptable. The Company has substantially completed development of all of its remaining residential single family lots at the San Elijo Hills project, many of which are “premium” lots which are expected to command premium prices if, and when, the market fully recovers. The Company believes that by exercising patience and waiting for market conditions to improve it can best maximize shareholder value with its remaining residential lot inventory. However, on an ongoing basis the Company evaluates the local real estate market and economic conditions in general, and updates its expectations of future market conditions as it continues to assess the best time to market its remaining residential lot inventory for sale.
During 2013, the Company closed on the sale of 86 single family residential lots at the San Elijo Hills project for aggregate cash proceeds of $32,500,000, a school site for aggregate cash proceeds of $5,800,000 and one multi-family unit for aggregate cash proceeds of $700,000. As of February 6, 2014, the Company has entered into an agreement to sell an aggregate of 23 single family residential lots at the San Elijo Hills project to a homebuilder for aggregate cash proceeds of $9,200,000, for which it has received a non-refundable option deposit of $900,000 as of December 31, 2013.
As of December 31, 2013, the remaining land at the San Elijo Hills project to be sold or leased consists of the following (including real estate under contract for sale):
Single family lots |
178 |
Multi-family units |
10 |
Square footage of commercial space |
37,800 |
The Towncenter includes multi-family residential units and commercial space, which are being constructed in phases. The Company has completed construction of the first phase of the Towncenter, which included 12 residential condominium units, all of which have been sold, and 11,000 square feet of commercial space, all of which has been leased. The plan for phase two of the Towncenter has not yet been developed.
During 2013, the Company sold 90 lots from Village B for aggregate cash consideration of $9,000,000, and 22 lots from Village A for aggregate cash consideration of $3,900,000. The Company has entered into agreements to sell the remaining 15 lots from Village A at the Ashville Park project to homebuilders for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,500,000, for which it received non-refundable option deposits of $100,000. Sales of 5 lots closed during the first quarter of 2014 for aggregate cash consideration of $800,000. The option payments are non-refundable if the Company fulfills its obligations under the agreements, and will be applied to reduce the amount due from the purchasers at closing. Although these agreements are binding on the purchasers, should the Company fulfill its obligations under the agreements within the specified timeframes and the purchaser decides not to close, the Company’s recourse will be primarily limited to retaining the option payment.
Since the Company is obligated to complete certain improvements to the San Elijo Hills and Ashville Park lots sold, a portion of the revenue from sales of real estate is deferred, and is recognized as revenues upon the completion of the required improvements to the property, including costs related to common areas, under the percentage of completion method of accounting. As of December 31, 2013, $2,750,000 of revenue has been deferred pending completion of the required improvements. Estimates of future property available for sale, the timing of the sales, selling prices and future development costs are based upon current development plans for the projects and will change based on the strength of the real estate market or other factors that are not within the control of the Company.
In July 2004, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 6% of the Company’s outstanding stock. Repurchased shares are available for, among other things, use in connection with the Company’s stock option plan. The shares may be purchased from time to time, subject to prevailing market conditions, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Any such purchases may be commenced or suspended at any time without prior notice. The Company has purchased 395,409 shares to date, principally in 2008.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $35,350,000 of alternative minimum tax credit carryovers to reduce its future federal income tax liabilities. As a result, the Company expects to pay federal income tax at a rate of 20% during future periods. For more information, see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
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 at 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 CDS and its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of agreements entered into when CDS was acquired by the Company. CDS is 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 outstanding amount of these bonds was approximately
$2,600,000, none of which has been drawn upon.
The Company is also required to obtain infrastructure improvement bonds for the benefit of the City of Virginia Beach in connection with the Ashville Park project. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding amount of these bonds was approximately $1,800,000, none of which has been drawn upon.
Results of Operations
Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates all of these estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Profit Recognition on Sales of Real Estate – When the Company has an obligation to complete improvements on property subsequent to the date of sale, it utilizes the percentage of completion method of accounting to record revenues and cost of sales. Under percentage of completion accounting, the Company recognizes revenues and cost of sales based upon the ratio of development costs completed as of the date of sale to an estimate of total development costs which will ultimately be incurred, including an estimate for common areas. Revenues which cannot be recognized as of the date of sale are reported as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company believes it can reasonably estimate its future costs and profit allocation in order to determine how much revenue should be deferred. However, such estimates are based on numerous assumptions and require management’s judgment. For example, the estimate of future development costs includes an assumption about the cost of construction services for which the Company has no current contractual arrangement. If the estimate of these future costs proves to be too low, then the Company will have recognized too much profit as of the date of sale resulting in less profit to be reported as the improvements are completed. However, to date the Company’s estimates of future development costs that have been used to determine the amount of revenue to be deferred at the date of sale have subsequently been proven to be reasonably accurate.
Prior to 2010, the percentage of completion method of accounting was applied for sold properties; however, during the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company completed all the required improvements for sold properties and all of the remaining deferred revenue was recognized in income. During 2011 and 2010, since all required improvements to sold properties had been completed as of the closing date, the Company applied the full accrual method for those sales. Accordingly, the Company recognized total sales
16
proceeds, net of closing costs, in revenues and all costs in cost of sales on the closing date. Commencing in 2012, revenue is again being deferred until the Company completes required improvements to properties sold.
Income Taxes – The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax asset to an amount that the Company expects is more likely than not to be realized. If the Company’s estimate of the realizability of its deferred tax asset changes in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be recorded which would either increase or decrease income tax expense in such period. The valuation allowance is determined after considering all relevant facts and circumstances, and is based, in significant part, on the Company’s projection of taxable income in the future. The Company’s estimate does not include any real estate development profit at the Otay Ranch, Rampage and Fanita Ranch properties, since the Company’s plans for development of these properties are uncertain.
During 2013, the Company generated profits from lot sales at the San Elijo Hills and Ashville Park projects that were greater than projected as of December 31, 2012. Also, as discussed above, the Company has entered into agreements to sell additional lots at both projects which are expected to close during 2014. The Company considered its recent results and pending lot sale agreements to be positive evidence to be considered when estimating its future taxable income. As a result, the Company was able to conclude that it is more likely than not that it will be able to realize an additional portion of the Company’s net deferred tax asset; accordingly, approximately $1,350,000 of the deferred tax valuation allowance was released as a credit to income tax expense during 2013.
During 2012 the Company acquired the Ashville Park project, profitably sold finished lots during 2012 and entered into an agreement to sell additional lots in 2013, some of which closed during the first quarter of 2013. The Company believed that these sales represented positive evidence to be considered when estimating future taxable income that may be generated at the Ashville Park project. The Company also lowered its estimated liability for environmental remediation costs during 2012 (discussed below), and updated its consolidated projection of future taxable income for this activity and for recent developments at its other projects. As a result, the Company was able to conclude that it is more likely than not that it will be able to realize an additional portion of the Company’s net deferred tax asset; accordingly, approximately $750,000 of the deferred tax valuation allowance was released as a credit to income tax expense during 2012.
The valuation allowance reserves for a substantial portion of the Company’s alternative minimum tax credit carryovers. At December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $35,350,000 of alternative minimum tax credit carryovers which have no expiration date. Minimum tax credit carryovers do not offset alternative minimum tax; however, they are able to reduce the Company’s federal income tax rate to 20% in any given year. In order to fully utilize its alternative minimum tax credit carryovers, the Company would have to generate an additional $215,000,000 of taxable income above its current estimate to fully utilize all of the credits. The Company has reserved for this benefit in its valuation allowance.
The projection of future taxable income is based upon numerous assumptions about the future, including future market conditions where the Company’s projects are located, regulatory requirements, estimates of future real estate revenues and development costs, future interest expense, operating and overhead costs and other factors. To the extent the Company’s actual taxable income in the future exceeds its estimate, the Company will recognize additional tax benefits and reduce its valuation allowance; conversely, if the actual taxable income is less than the amounts projected, an addition to the valuation allowance would be recorded that would increase tax expense in the future. Adjustments to the valuation allowance in the future should be expected.
Provision for Environmental Remediation – The Company records environmental liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount or range of the liability is reasonably estimable. During 2002, the Company recorded a charge of $11,150,000 representing its estimate of the cost (including legal fees) to implement the most likely remediation alternative with respect to approximately 30 acres of undeveloped land owned by the Company’s subsidiary, Flat Rock. The estimated liability was neither discounted nor reduced for claims for recovery from previous owners and users of the land who may be liable, and may increase or decrease based upon the actual extent and nature of the remediation required, the actual cost of the remediation, the expenses of the regulatory process, the costs of post-remediation monitoring requirements, inflation and other items.
The Company has periodically examined, and when appropriate, adjusted its liability for environmental remediation to reflect its current best estimate. A change to the current estimate could result from, among other things, that the cost to implement the remediation is different than the Company’s current estimate, that the cost of future on-going monitoring efforts is different than the Company’s current estimate, and/or requirements imposed by regulatory authorities that the Company did not anticipate but is nevertheless required to implement. During 2004, the Company increased its estimate of remediation costs by approximately $1,300,000, primarily due to increases in site investigation and remediation costs, and during 2003 by approximately $250,000, primarily for consulting costs. During 2012, the Company’s revised its estimate of future remediation costs, including on-going monitoring expenses, which resulted in a reduction in the previously accrued estimate of $1,500,000. Such amount was reflected on the consolidated statement of operations as a reduction to expenses.
17
During the fourth quarter of 2012, upon receipt of required approvals, the Company commenced remediation activities, which were completed in February 2013. The Company received final approval from the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health in June 2013; as a result, the Company reduced its liability for environmental remediation by $650,000.
Provision for Impairment Losses on Real Estate – The Company’s real estate is carried at cost. Whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of the carrying amount of its real estate in accordance with GAAP and, if impaired, reduces the carrying amount to its estimated fair value. The process involved in evaluating assets for impairment and determining fair value requires estimates as to future events and market conditions. This estimation process may assume that the Company has the ability to complete development and dispose of its real estate properties in the ordinary course of business based on management’s present plans and intentions. If management determines that the carrying value of a specific real estate investment is impaired, a write-down is recorded as a charge to current period operations. The evaluation process is based on estimates and assumptions and the ultimate outcome may be different.
The Company did not record any provisions for impairment losses during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
Statement of Operations
The Company currently has four real estate development projects, San Elijo Hills, Ashville Park, the Otay Ranch project and Fanita Ranch. The San Elijo Hills project is a master-planned community that, when completed, will contain approximately 2,382 single family lots, 805 multi-family units, 276 very low income apartment units, three school sites and commercial space which will be sold or leased. As of February 6, 2014, the remaining land at the San Elijo Hills project to be developed and sold or leased consisted of 178 single family lots, 10 multi-family units and 37,800 square feet of commercial space. The Company has substantially completed the development of its remaining single family residential lots and has completed development of the first phase of the Towncenter; design options for phase two of the Towncenter are currently being evaluated. As discussed above, the timing of the sales of the remaining lot inventory at the San Elijo Hills project is uncertain. The Company believes that by exercising patience and waiting for market conditions to improve it can best maximize shareholder value with its remaining residential lot inventory. However, on an ongoing basis the Company evaluates the local real estate market and economic conditions in general, and updates its expectations of future market conditions as it continues to assess the best time to market its remaining residential lot inventory for sale.
The Company acquired the Ashville Park project during 2012, which upon completion is expected to have 451 single family homes. As of February 6, 2014, the remaining land at the Ashville Park project to be sold consists of 280 single family lots. Except as discussed above, the timing of the sales of the remaining lots is uncertain.
Sales at the Otay Ranch project have principally consisted of four individual transactions for relatively large amounts of land. Individual lot development at the Otay Ranch project has not yet begun, as the Company continues to evaluate how to maximize the value of this investment while processing further entitlements on portions of the property. If and when the Company determines to commence lot development at the Otay Ranch project, it is expected to last many years. Development of the Rampage and Fanita Ranch properties can only commence after approvals are obtained from multiple government agencies; as a result no sales activity is expected for several years.

Revenues recognized on the closing date were $37,850,000, $20,650,000 and $27,500,000 for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As discussed above, a portion of the revenue from sales in prior years was deferred, and has been recognized as revenues upon the completion of the required improvements to the property, including costs related to common areas, under the percentage of completion method of accounting. Revenues include previously deferred amounts of $200,000 for 2013. During 2011, the full purchase price reflected in the table above, net of closing costs, was recognized as revenues on the closing date as all required improvements to the property had been completed.
During 2013, 2012 and 2011, cost of sales of real estate aggregated $15,200,000, $8,750,000 and $12,950,000, respectively. During 2013 and 2012, cost of sales was recognized in the same proportion to the amount of revenue recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting. During 2011, since all required improvements to sold properties had been completed as of the closing date, the Company applied the full accrual method for those sales and recognized in full as cost of sales the cost of properties sold on the closing date.
Ashville Park:
During 2013, the Company sold 90 lots from Village B for net cash consideration of $9,000,000. During 2013 and 2012, the Company sold 22 and 54 lots from Village A for net cash consideration of $3,900,000 and $8,200,000, respectively. Cost of sales of real estate aggregated $8,000,000 and $4,900,000 for 2013 and 2012, respectively. Cost of sales was recognized in the same proportion to the amount of revenue recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting.
Otay Ranch Project:
There were no sales of real estate at the Otay Ranch project during 2013, 2012 and 2011.
Rampage Property:
There were no sales of real estate at the Rampage property during 2013, 2012 and 2011.
Farming revenues at the Rampage property aggregated $4,900,000, $6,400,000 and $6,000,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The reduction in farming revenues during 2013 as compared to 2012 principally results from a reduction in grape yields due to unfavorable weather conditions. The increase in farming revenues in 2012 as compared to 2011 was due to larger harvest yields and higher market prices for grapes.
Other Results of Operations Activity
The Company recorded co-op marketing and advertising fee revenue of approximately $1,150,000, $550,000 and $200,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company records these fees pursuant to contractual agreements, which is generally when builders sell homes based upon a fixed percentage of the homes’ selling price.
General and administrative expenses increased during 2013 as compared to 2012, primarily due to legal fees, salaries expenses and costs related to the investigation and evaluation of acquisition opportunities. Legal expenses increased by $2,100,000, principally due to Otay Land Company and Flat Rock Land Company’s lawsuit related to the environmental contamination of the property. The increase in salaries expenses of $700,000 principally reflects higher general bonus expense and the addition of two employees at the Ashville Park project.
General and administrative expenses increased during 2012 as compared to 2011 primarily due to higher legal, marketing, professional and travel expenses. Legal expenses increased due to higher legal fees related to environmental litigation at the Fanita Ranch property that was in process at the date of acquisition. The Company lost certain challenges to its Fanita Ranch entitlements and was required to reimburse the plaintiffs for their costs. Legal fees also increased for the lawsuit seeking compensation from parties who Otay Land Company and Flat Rock believe are responsible for the environmental contamination of the property, as discussed above. The Company also incurred higher marketing, professional fees and travel expenses related to activity at the Ashville Park project during 2012.
Interest and other income increased by $800,000 during 2013 as compared to 2012. During 2013, Otay Land Company and Flat Rock were awarded an additional $750,000 relating to the lawsuit against multiple parties for environmental contamination of the property. Interest and other income also reflect a decline in interest income of $20,000 in 2013 as compared to 2012, due to lower interest rates. The change in interest and other income during 2012 as compared to 2011 reflects a decline in interest income due to lower interest rates and fewer invested assets. Other income in 2011 includes $150,000 of income relating to proceeds received from the settlement of a contract dispute.
19
The Company’s effective income tax rate is higher than the federal statutory rate due to state income taxes. In addition, as discussed above, during 2013 and 2012 the Company was able to conclude that it is more likely than not that it will be able to realize an additional portion of the Company’s net deferred tax asset. As a result, $1,350,000 and $750,000 of the deferred tax valuation allowance was released as a credit to income tax expense during 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Inflation
The Company, as well as the real estate development and homebuilding industry in general, may be adversely affected by inflation, primarily because of either reduced rates of savings by consumers during periods of low inflation or higher land and construction costs during periods of high inflation. Low inflation could adversely affect consumer demand by limiting growth of savings for down payments, ultimately adversely affecting demand for real estate and the Company’s revenues. High inflation increases the Company’s costs of labor and materials. The Company would attempt to pass through to its customers any increases in its costs through increased selling prices. To date, high or low rates of inflation have not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. However, there is no assurance that high or low rates of inflation will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s future results of operations.
Interest Rates
The Company’s operations are interest-rate sensitive. The Company has indirectly benefited from the prevailing low mortgage interest rate environment, since low rates made housing more affordable for the home buyer, thereby increasing demand for homes. The Company can not predict whether interest rates will remain low and what impact an increase in interest rates and mortgage rates would have on the Company’s operations, although any significant increase in these rates could have a chilling effect on the housing market, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
The Company’s market risk arises principally from interest rate risk related to its investment portfolio and borrowing activities.
At December 31, 2013, the Company had investments of approximately $31,900,000 in securities issued by the U.S. Government. The Company’s investment portfolio is classified as available for sale, and is reflected in the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reflected in equity. The U.S. Government securities in the portfolio are rated “AA+” and “Aaa” by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, respectively. All of these fixed income securities mature in 2014; the estimated weighted average remaining life of these fixed income securities was approximately 0.3 years at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2012, the Company’s investments consisted of fixed income securities with an estimated weighted average remaining life of approximately 0.3 years and a weighted average interest rate of .14%. The Company’s fixed income securities, like all fixed income instruments, are subject to interest rate risk and will fall in value if market interest rates increase.

The Company's management evaluated, with the participation of the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of December 31, 2013. Based on their evaluation, the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2013.
There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Company's fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
· |
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the Company; |
· |
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and |
· |
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
Based on our assessment and those criteria, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in Item 8.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of HomeFed Corporation:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HomeFed Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s business, real estate development, is highly competitive, and there are numerous residential real estate developers and development projects operating in the same geographic area in which the Company operates. In addition, the residential real estate development industry is subject to increasing environmental, building, zoning and real estate regulations that are imposed by various federal, state and local authorities. Timing of the initiation and completion of development projects depends upon receipt of necessary authorizations and approvals. Furthermore, changes in prevailing local circumstances or applicable laws may require additional approvals, or modifications of approvals previously obtained. Delays could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete its projects, significantly increase the costs of doing so or drive potential customers to purchase competitors’ products. Environmental laws may cause the Company to incur substantial compliance, mitigation and other costs, may restrict or prohibit development in certain areas and may delay completion of the Company’s development projects. Delays arising from compliance with environmental laws and regulations could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete its projects and significantly increase development costs. The Company’s business may also be adversely affected by inflation and is interest-rate sensitive.
Critical Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates all of these estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Profit Recognition on Sales of Real Estate – When the Company has an obligation to complete improvements on property subsequent to the date of sale, it utilizes the percentage of completion method of accounting to record revenues and cost of sales. Under percentage of completion accounting, the Company recognizes revenues and cost of sales based upon the ratio of development costs completed as of the date of sale to an estimate of total development costs which will ultimately be incurred, including an estimate for common areas. Revenues which cannot be recognized as of the date of sale are reported as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company believes it can reasonably estimate its future costs and profit allocation in order to determine how much revenue should be deferred. However, such estimates are based on numerous assumptions and require management’s judgment. For example, the estimate of future development costs includes an assumption about the cost of construction services for which the Company has no current contractual arrangement. If the estimate of these future costs proves to be too low, then the Company will have recognized too much profit as of the date of sale resulting in less profit to be reported as the improvements are completed. However, to date the Company’s estimates of future development costs that have been used to determine the amount of revenue to be deferred at the date of sale have subsequently been proven to be reasonably accurate.
F-7
Prior to 2010, the percentage of completion method of accounting was applied for sold properties at the San Elijo Hills project; however, during the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company completed all the required improvements for sold properties at the San Elijo Hills project and all of the remaining deferred revenue was recognized in income. During 2011 and 2010, since all required improvements to sold properties had been completed as of the closing date, the Company applied the full accrual method for those sales. Accordingly, the Company recognized total sales proceeds, net of closing costs, in revenues and all costs in cost of sales on the closing date. Commencing in 2012, revenue is again being deferred until the Company completes required improvements to properties sold.
Income Taxes – The Company provides for income taxes using the liability method. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax asset to an amount that the Company expects is more likely than not to be realized. If the Company’s estimate of the realizability of its deferred tax asset changes in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be recorded which would either increase or decrease income tax expense in such period. The valuation allowance is determined after considering all relevant facts and circumstances, and is based, in significant part, on the Company’s projection of taxable income in the future. Since any projection of future profitability is inherently unreliable, changes in the valuation allowance should be expected.
During 2013, the Company generated profits from lot sales at the San Elijo Hills and Ashville Park projects that were greater than projected as of December 31, 2012. Also, the Company has entered into agreements to sell additional lots at both projects which are expected to close during 2014. The Company considered its recent results and pending lot sale agreements to be positive evidence to be considered when estimating its future taxable income. As a result, the Company was able to conclude that it is more likely than not that it will be able to realize an additional portion of the Company’s net deferred tax asset; accordingly, approximately $1,350,000 of the deferred tax valuation allowance was released as a credit to income tax expense during 2013.
During 2012 the Company acquired the Ashville Park project, profitably sold finished lots during 2012 and entered into an agreement to sell additional lots in 2013, some of which closed during the first quarter of 2013. The Company believed that these sales represented positive evidence to be considered when estimating future taxable income that may be generated at the Ashville Park project. The Company also lowered its estimated liability for environmental remediation costs during 2012, and updated its consolidated projection of future taxable income for this activity and for recent developments at its other projects. As a result, the Company was able to conclude that it is more likely than not that it will be able to realize an additional portion of the Company’s net deferred tax asset; accordingly, approximately $750,000 of the deferred tax valuation allowance was released as a credit to income tax expense during 2012.
The projection of future taxable income is based upon numerous assumptions about the future, including future market conditions where the Company’s projects are located, regulatory requirements, estimates of future real estate revenues and development costs, future interest expense, operating and overhead costs and other factors. To the extent the Company’s actual taxable income in the future exceeds its estimate, the Company will recognize additional tax benefits and reduce its valuation allowance; conversely, if the actual taxable income is less than the amounts projected, an addition to the valuation allowance would be recorded that would increase tax expense in the future. Adjustments to the valuation allowance in the future should be expected.
The Company records interest and penalties, if any, with respect to uncertain tax positions as components of income tax expense. Based on the Company’s evaluation of its tax filings at December 31, 2013, the Company did not record any amounts for uncertain tax positions. If any of the Company’s tax filing positions are successfully challenged, payments could be required that might be material.
Provision for Environmental Remediation – The Company records environmental liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount or range of the liability is reasonably estimable. During 2002, the Company recorded a charge of $11,150,000 representing its estimate of the cost (including legal fees) to implement the most likely remediation alternative with respect to approximately 30 acres of undeveloped land owned by a subsidiary of Otay Land Company. The estimated liability was neither discounted nor reduced for claims for recovery from previous owners and users of the land who may be liable, and may increase or decrease based upon the actual extent and nature of the remediation required, the actual cost of the remediation, the expenses of the regulatory process, the costs of post-remediation monitoring requirements, inflation and other items.
The Company has periodically examined, and when appropriate, adjusted its liability for environmental remediation to reflect its current best estimate. A change to the current estimate could result from, among other things, that the cost to implement the remediation is different than the Company’s current estimate, that the cost of future on-going monitoring efforts is different than the Company’s current estimate, and/or requirements imposed by regulatory authorities that the Company did not anticipate but is nevertheless required to implement. During 2004, the Company increased its estimate of remediation costs by approximately $1,300,000, primarily due to increases in site investigation and remediation costs, and during 2003 by approximately $250,000, primarily for consulting costs. During 2012, the Company’s revised its estimate of future remediation costs, including on-going monitoring expenses, which resulted in a reduction in the previously accrued estimate of $1,500,000. Such amount was reflected on the consolidated statement of operations as a reduction to expenses.
F-8
During the fourth quarter of 2012, upon receipt of required approvals, the Company commenced remediation activities, which were completed in February 2013. The Company received final approval from the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health in June 2013; as a result, the Company reduced its liability for environmental remediation by $650,000.
Provision for Impairment Losses on Real Estate – The Company’s real estate is carried at cost. Whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of the carrying amount of its real estate in accordance with GAAP and, if impaired, reduces the carrying amount to its estimated fair value. The process involved in evaluating assets for impairment and determining fair value requires estimates as to future events and market conditions. This estimation process may assume that the Company has the ability to complete development and dispose of its real estate properties in the ordinary course of business based on management’s present plans and intentions. If management determines that the carrying value of a specific real estate investment is impaired, a write-down is recorded as a charge to current period operations. The evaluation process is based on estimates and assumptions and the ultimate outcome may be different.
The Company did not record any provisions for impairment losses during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
Real Estate – Real estate includes all expenditures incurred in connection with the acquisition, development and construction of the property, including interest and property taxes. At acquisition, land costs are allocated to individual parcels or lots based on relative fair values. Subsequent to acquisition, substantially all development costs are specifically identifiable to individual parcels or lots, or are considered allocated costs that are allocated principally based on acreage (principally property taxes, legal fees and consulting fees). Capitalized land costs are charged to cost of sales at the time that revenue is recognized.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash equivalents are money market accounts and short‑term, highly liquid investments that have maturities of less than three months at the time of acquisition.
Investments – Securities with maturities equal to or greater than three months at the time of acquisition are classified as investments available for sale, and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reflected as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of taxes. The cost of securities sold is based on specific identification.
Recognition of Fee Income – The Company may be contractually entitled to receive co-op marketing and advertising fees that are due when builders sell homes. These fees are generally based upon a fixed percentage of the homes’ selling price and are recorded as revenue when the home is sold.
Revenue and Profit Sharing Arrangements – Certain of the Company’s lot purchase agreements with homebuilders include provisions that entitle the Company to a share of the revenues or profits realized by the homebuilders upon their sale of the homes, after certain thresholds are achieved. The actual amount which could be received by the Company is generally based on a formula and other specified criteria contained in the lot purchase agreements, and are generally not payable and cannot be determined with reasonable certainty until the builder has completed the sale of a substantial portion of the homes covered by the lot purchase agreement. The Company’s policy is to accrue revenue earned pursuant to these agreements when amounts are fully earned and payable pursuant to the lot purchase agreements, which is classified as sales of real estate. Any amounts received from homebuilders prior to then are deferred.
The Company has not recognized any income from revenue or profit sharing arrangements during the last three years.
Option Deposits – Option payments received from prospective buyers are recognized as liabilities until the title of the real estate is transferred or the option is forfeited, or in the case of refundable deposits, the prospective buyer decides not to purchase the real estate and the deposit is returned.
Capitalization of Interest and Real Estate Taxes – If applicable, interest and real estate taxes attributable to land and property construction are capitalized and added to the cost of those properties while the properties are being actively developed.
Farming Revenues and Expenses – Income from farming related activities at the Rampage property are recognized when grapes are sold, and expenses from farming related activities are recognized when incurred.
Share-Based Compensation – The cost of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and warrants, are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The cost is recognized as an expense over the vesting period of the award. The fair value of each award is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
2. ACQUISITION OF CDS
F-9
In October 2002, the Company purchased from Leucadia National Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Leucadia”) all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CDS which, through its majority-owned indirect subsidiary, San Elijo Hills Development Company, LLC (“San Elijo”), is the owner of the San Elijo Hills project, a master-planned community located in the City of San Marcos, in San Diego County, California. The Company has been the development manager for the San Elijo Hills project since August 1998. The purchase price of $25,000,000 consisted of $1,000,000 in cash and 2,474,226 shares of the Company’s common stock, which represented approximately 30% of the Company’s outstanding common shares. Prior to the acquisition, Leucadia had also committed to obtain project improvement bonds for the San Elijo Hills project which is required prior to the commencement of any project development (see Note 11).
3. INVESTMENTS
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s investments consisted of fixed income securities issued by the U.S. Government, which were classified as available for sale. All of the Company’s investments mature in one year or less.

The San Elijo Hills, Otay Ranch, Ashville Park and Fanita Ranch projects are considered to be land under development while the Rampage property is not currently being developed.
In January 2011, the Company acquired in a foreclosure sale the Fanita Ranch property, a 2,600 acre parcel of vacant land located in Santee, California. The aggregate purchase price of $12,350,000 consisted of cash consideration of $11,000,000 and the assumption of certain payables. Fanita Ranch is partially entitled for approximately 1,400 residential units. The Company acquired the property with the intention of completing the necessary entitlements to develop the property as a master-planned community,
F-10
although there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts. If successful, obtaining all the entitlements is expected to take several years.
In February 2012, the Company acquired Ashville Park, a 450 acre master planned community located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, for cash consideration of $17,350,000 including closing costs. The Company acquired 451 entitled single family lots, of which 91 lots were finished lots that were available for sale and one lot was a visitor center.
In October 2012, the Company purchased 52 single family lots at the San Elijo Hills project that had been previously sold to a homebuilder in 2005 and 2006. The lots were purchased for cash consideration of $14,850,000. Included on six of the lots are finished model homes that will require some renovation prior to being sold.
5. NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
Through its ownership of CDS, the Company owns 85% of the common stock of San Elijo Ranch, Inc. (“SERI”). Pursuant to a stockholders’ agreement with the holders of the noncontrolling interests in SERI, the Company loans funds to SERI and charges a 12% annual rate. Once this loan is fully repaid, the noncontrolling shareholders of SERI are entitled to 15% of future cash flows distributed to shareholders. As of December 31, 2013, approximately $10,100,000 has been recognized for the SERI noncontrolling interests. Amounts recorded for the noncontrolling interests have been reduced for income taxes calculated pursuant to tax sharing agreements.
In December 2012, the Company purchased an indirect 20% noncontrolling interest in SERI for $5,000,000, increasing its effective interest in SERI from 68% to 85%. The amount paid was $4,450,000 less than the amount recorded for the noncontrolling interest; such amount was credited to additional paid in capital. As part of the purchase, pending litigation commenced by the holder of the purchased noncontrolling interest against the Company was settled without any payment.
6. STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
Under the Company’s Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Company may grant options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock to non-employee directors, certain non-employees and employees up to a maximum grant of 30,000 shares to any individual in a given taxable year. Pursuant to the Plan, each director of the Company is automatically granted options to purchase 1,000 shares on the date on which the annual meeting of stockholders is held. In August 2004, following shareholder approval, the Plan was amended to, among other things, increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance by 300,000 shares. The Plan provides for the issuance of options and rights at not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. Options granted to employees and certain non-employees generally become exercisable in five equal instalments starting one year from the date of grant and must be exercised within six years from the date of grant. Options granted to directors generally become exercisable in four equal instalments starting one year from the date of grant and must be exercised within five years from the date of grant. No stock appreciation rights have been granted. As of December 31, 2013, 405,400 shares were available for grant under the Plan.

In July 2004, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In 2008, the Company purchased 394,931 shares of the Company’s common stock for approximately $5,900,000 in a private transaction with an unrelated party. During 2009, the Company purchased 478 shares of the Company’s common stock in an open market transaction in accordance with the Company’s repurchase plan. After considering these transactions, the Company can repurchase up to 104,591 common shares without board approval. Repurchased shares would be available for, among other things, use in connection with the Company’s stock option plan. The shares may be purchased from time to time, subject to prevailing market conditions, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Any such purchases may be commenced or suspended at any time without prior notice.

As discussed above, during 2013 and 2012 the Company was able to conclude that it is more likely than not that it will be able to realize an additional portion of the Company’s net deferred tax asset; accordingly, approximately $1,350,000 and $750,000 of the deferred tax valuation allowance was released as a credit to income tax expense during 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The valuation allowance reserves for a substantial portion of the Company’s alternative minimum tax credit carryovers, which have no expiration date. Minimum tax credit carryovers do not offset alternative minimum tax; however, they are able to reduce the Company’s federal income tax rate to 20% in any given year. In order to fully utilize its alternative minimum tax credit carryovers, the Company would have to generate an additional $215,000,000 of taxable income above its current estimate to fully utilize all of the credits. The Company has reserved for this benefit in its valuation allowance.

The Company recognized previously unrecognized tax benefits during 2011 (reducing income tax expense) due to the expiration of the statute of limitations for the 2006 California state income tax return. The Company does not have any amounts in its consolidated balance sheet for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The statute of limitations with respect to the Company’s federal income tax returns has expired for all years through 2009 and with respect to California state income tax returns has expired for all years through 2008.
10. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share of common stock was calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and for diluted earnings per share, the incremental weighted average number of shares issuable upon
F-14
exercise of outstanding options for the periods they were outstanding. The treasury stock method is used for these calculations. The numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for 2013, 2012 and 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

For 2011, there is no difference between basic and diluted per share weighted average amounts primarily because the exercise prices of stock options were greater than the average market price for the period.
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Prior to its acquisition by the Company, a subsidiary of CDS entered into a non-cancelable operating lease for its office space, a portion of which was sublet to the Company and a portion of which was sublet to Leucadia. Effective October 2002, as a result of the acquisition of CDS, sublease payments from Leucadia reflected in other income were $12,000 in each of 2013, 2012 and 2011. Rental expense (net of sublease income) was $350,000 in 2013 and 2012, and $300,000 in 2011; the lease expires in October 2018. Future minimum annual rentals (exclusive of real estate, maintenance and other charges) are approximately $250,000 per year for the remainder of the lease term.
The Company is required to obtain infrastructure improvement bonds primarily for the benefit of the City of San Marcos (the “City”) 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 CDS and its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of agreements entered into when CDS was acquired by the Company. CDS is responsible for paying all third party fees related to obtaining the bonds. Should the City or others draw on the bonds for any reason, one of CDS’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.
The Company is also required to obtain infrastructure improvement bonds for the benefit of the City of Virginia Beach in connection with the Ashville Park project. As of December 31, 2013, the amount of outstanding bonds was approximately $1,800,000, none of which has been drawn upon.
The Company has purchased a $10,000,000 excess insurance policy that provides coverage for general liability claims relating to homes sold at the San Elijo Hills project through August 1, 2011. In 2012, the Company purchased a new $1,000,000 primary insurance policy and $10,000,000 excess insurance policy that provides coverage for general liability claims relating to unsold lots as of August 1, 2012. In 2013, the Company purchased a new $1,000,000 primary insurance policy that provides coverage for general liability claims relating to unsold lots as of August 1, 2013. In March 2012, the Company purchased a $1,000,000 primary policy and $10,000,000 excess policy that provide coverage for general liability claims related to homes sold at the Ashville Park project that expires in March 2014. No claims have ever been made under these policies. In addition, the Company is indemnified by its homebuilders and is named an additional insured by any contractor who works on the property.
The Company is subject to litigation which arises in the course of its business. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, based on discussions with counsel, management is of the opinion that such litigation is not likely to have any significant adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company, its consolidated results of operations or liquidity.
12. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
Pursuant to administrative services agreements, Leucadia provides administrative and accounting services to the Company, including providing the services of the Company’s Secretary. Administrative fees paid to Leucadia were $180,000 in each of 2013,
F-15
2012 and 2011. 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.
13. FAIR VALUE
The Company’s material financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents and investments classified as available for sale. For cash and cash equivalents and investments available for sale, the carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their fair values.
No assets or liabilities were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The Company does not invest in any derivatives or engage in any hedging activities.
