NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1.   Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements are not included herein. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (“FAS 150”). FAS 150 requires companies having consolidated entities with specified termination dates to treat minority owner’s interests in such entities as liabilities in an amount based on the fair value of the entities. Although FAS 150 was originally effective July 1, 2003, the FASB has indefinitely deferred certain provisions related to classification and measurement requirements for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments that become subject to FAS 150 solely as a result of consolidation. As a result, FAS 150 has no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 or 2005. The Company has one consolidated entity with a specified termination date: Artisan Park, L.L.C. (“Artisan Park”). At June 30, 2006, the carrying amount of the minority interest in Artisan Park was $17.0 million and its fair value was $19.4 million. The Company has no other material financial instruments that are affected by FAS 150.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 — revised 2004, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which replaced Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The Company elected the modified-prospective method of adoption, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The valuation provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of the effective date and are subsequently modified. Estimated compensation for the unvested portion of grants that were outstanding as of the effective date is being recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost estimated for the SFAS 123 pro forma disclosures. Additionally, the 15% discount at which employees may purchase the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions is being recognized as compensation expense. Upon exercise of stock options or granting of non-vested stock, the Company will issue new common stock.
 
Stock Options and Non-vested Restricted Stock
 
The Company has four stock incentive plans (the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan), whereby awards may be granted to certain employees and non-employee directors of the Company in the form of restricted shares of Company stock or

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

options to purchase Company stock. Awards are discretionary and are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The total amount of restricted shares and options originally available for grant under the Company’s four plans were 8.5 million shares, 1.4 million shares, 2.0 million shares, and 3.0 million shares, respectively. All non-vested restricted shares generally vest over two-year, three-year, or four-year periods, beginning on the date of each grant, but are considered outstanding at the time of grant for purposes of determining earnings per share since the holders are entitled to dividends and voting rights. Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. The options are exercisable in equal installments on the first through fourth or fifth anniversaries, as applicable, of the date of grant and generally expire 10 years after the date of grant.
 
The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors (term of option), risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.
 
The Company estimates the expected term of options granted by incorporating the contractual term of the options and analyzing employees actual and expected exercise behaviors. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock by using historical volatility in market price over a period consistent with the expected term, and other factors. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate that it uses in the option valuation model on U.S. Treasury seven year issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options. The Company anticipates paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an estimated dividend yield in the option valuation model.
 
The assumptions used to value option grants for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:
 
                 
    2006     2005  
 
Expected dividend yield
    (1 )     0.78 %
Risk free interest rate
    (1 )     4.32 %
Weighted average expected volatility
    (1 )     23.0 %
Expected life (in years)
    (1 )     7  
 
(1) No options were granted during the six-month period ended June 30, 2006.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recognized the estimated compensation cost of non-vested restricted stock over the vesting term. The estimated compensation cost is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company will continue to recognize the compensation cost over the vesting term.
 
As of June 30, 2006, there was $15.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements. This cost includes $2.1 million related to stock option grants and $13.0 million of non-vested restricted stock which will be recognized over a weighted average period of four years.
 
Upon the adoption of, and in accordance with SFAS 123R, deferred compensation of $19.7 million previously reflected as a component of Stockholders’ Equity has been netted against Common Stock as of December 31, 2005, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.
 
On February 14, 2006, the Board of Directors approved a management succession plan for the Company in which Kevin M. Twomey, former President and Chief Operating Officer, will be retiring later this year. Mr. Twomey’s service as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer ended at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 16, 2006. He will be retiring from the Company on December 28, 2006. Any of Mr. Twomey’s unvested shares of restricted stock will vest as of his retirement date. As a result, the increase in stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 in connection with accelerating the vesting on 243,160 shares (fully amortized as of May 16, 2006) was $2.0 million.
 
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
In November 1999, the Company also implemented an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), whereby all employees may purchase the Company’s common stock through monthly payroll deductions at a 15% discount from the fair market value of its common stock at each month end, with an annual limit of $25,000 in purchases per employee.

Earnings Per Share
 
Earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS assumes weighted average options have been exercised to purchase 321,247 and 826,243 shares of common stock in the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and that 622,281 and 566,626 shares of non-vested restricted stock were vested and issued as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, each net of assumed repurchases using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS assumes weighted average options have been exercised to purchase 331,491 and 920,807 shares of common stock in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and that 755,006 and 547,123 shares of non-vested restricted stock were vested and issued as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, each net of assumed repurchases using the treasury stock method.
 
Through June 30, 2006, the Board of Directors had authorized a total of $950.0 million for the repurchase from time to time of outstanding common stock from shareholders (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). A total of approximately $843.9 million had been expended in the Stock Repurchase Program from its inception through June 30, 2006. There is no expiration date on the Stock Repurchase Program.
 
From the inception of the Stock Repurchase Program to June 30, 2006, the Company repurchased from shareholders 27,897,511 shares and executives surrendered a total of 2,109,738 shares as payment for strike prices and taxes due on exercised stock options and vested restricted stock, for a total of 30,007,249 acquired shares. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company repurchased from shareholders 900,100 and 576,100 shares, respectively, and executives surrendered a total of 4,596 and 61,203 shares, respectively, as payment for strike prices and taxes due on exercised stock options and vested restricted stock.
 
Shares of Company stock issued upon the exercise of stock options for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were 59,551 and 488,591 shares, respectively.
 
Weighted average basic and diluted shares, taking into consideration shares issued, weighted average unvested restricted shares, weighted average options used in calculating EPS and treasury shares repurchased, for each of the periods presented are as follows:

Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
 
The Company has made certain reclassifications in its June 30, 2005 operating, investing and financing cash flows which it considers to have an immaterial effect on these presentations.
 
Supplemental Cash Flow Information
 
The Company paid $16.6 million and $14.1 million for interest in the first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company paid income taxes, net of refunds, of $49.0 million and $5.1 million in the first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company capitalized interest expense of $8.2 million and $6.1 million during the first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded excess non-cash tax benefits related to stock compensation of $0.6 million, compared to $9.0 million in the first six months of 2005. The Company also recorded $0.8 million related to restricted stock issuance, net of forfeitures, during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $2.2 million for the first six months of 2005. In addition, non-cash activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 included the surrender of Company stock worth $0.3 million by executives as payment for payroll taxes on vested restricted stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, non-cash activities included the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

surrender of Company stock worth $4.3 million by executives as payment for strike prices of stock options and payroll taxes on vested restricted stock. Other non-cash activities in 2006 include the extinguishment of $10.7 million of debt related to the Company’s investment in a joint venture, and $15.5 million of Community Development District debt. In addition, during the first six months of 2005, the Company received a note receivable in the amount of $9.4 million in payment for the sale of its interest in an unconsolidated affiliate.
 
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits for deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows on its consolidated statement of cash flows. SFAS 123R requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of tax benefits related to recognized compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow. This requirement reduces net operating cash flows and increases net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. Total cash flow remains unchanged from what would have been reported under prior accounting rules.
 
Cash flows related to assets ultimately planned to be sold, including Towns & Resorts development and related amenities, sales of undeveloped and developed land by the land sales segment, the Company’s timberland operations and land developed by the commercial segment are included in operating activities on the statements of cash flows. The Company’s buildings developed for commercial rental purposes and assets purchased with tax-deferred proceeds are intended to be held for investment purposes and related cash flows from acquisitions and dispositions of those assets are included in investing activities on the statements of cash flows. Cash flows from investing activities also include related cash flows from assets not held for sale. Distributions of income from unconsolidated affiliates are included in cash flows from operating activities; distributions of capital from unconsolidated affiliates are included in cash flows from investing activities.

The senior notes and the senior revolving credit agreement contain financial covenants, including minimum net worth requirements, maximum debt ratios, and fixed charge coverage requirements, plus some restrictions on prepayment. At June 30, 2006, management believes the Company was in compliance with the covenants.
 
In July 2006, the Company entered into an amendment agreement with its 2002 noteholders that modifies certain financial covenants. The amendment, when effective, will provide increased leverage capacity along with increased flexibility in maintaining minimum net worth levels, one effect of which is to provide additional flexibility regarding distributions to shareholders. The effectiveness of the covenant modifications is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the Company’s prepayment of its $100 million outstanding 2004 senior notes. The Company has also entered into a loan agreement to provide a separate source of financing to potentially repay its 2004 senior notes.

6.   Segment Information
 
The Company conducts primarily all of its business in four reportable operating segments: Towns & Resorts, commercial real estate, land sales and forestry. The Towns & Resorts segment develops and sells housing units and home sites and manages residential communities. The commercial real estate segment owns and leases commercial, retail, office and industrial properties throughout the Southeast and sells developed and undeveloped land and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

buildings. The land sales segment sells parcels of land included in the Company’s holdings of timberlands. The forestry segment produces and sells pine pulpwood and timber and cypress products.
 
The Company uses income from continuing operations before equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates, income taxes and minority interest for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing each segment’s performance, which it believes represents current performance measures.
 
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described above in the summary of significant accounting policies. Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company’s consolidated income statements. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The caption entitled “Other” consists of general and administrative expenses, net of investment income.
 
The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are each managed separately and decisions about allocations of resources are determined by management based on these strategic business units.

7.   Contingencies
 
The Company and its affiliates are involved in litigation on a number of matters and are subject to various claims which arise in the normal course of business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. We have established estimated accruals for our various litigation matters, which meet the requirements of FASB No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies” . However, it is possible that the actual amounts of liabilities resulting from such matters could exceed such accruals by several million dollars.
 
The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability, workers’ compensation, property damage, group health insurance provided to employees and other types of insurance.
 
At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company was party to surety bonds of $56.9 million and $46.4 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit in the amounts of $31.8 million and $30.3 million, respectively, which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.
 
At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company was not liable as guarantor on any credit obligations that relate to unconsolidated affiliates or others in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.
 
The Company is subject to costs arising out of environmental laws and regulations, which include obligations to remove or limit the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of certain wastes or substances at various sites, including sites which have been previously sold. It is the Company’s policy to accrue and charge against earnings environmental cleanup costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount can be reasonably estimated. As assessments and cleanups proceed, these accruals will be reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, as additional information becomes available.
 
Pursuant to the terms of various agreements by which the Company disposed of its sugar assets in 1999, the Company is obligated to complete certain defined environmental remediation. Approximately $5.0 million of the sales proceeds has been held in escrow pending the completion of the remediation. The Company has separately funded the costs of remediation. In addition, approximately $1.7 million is being held in escrow representing the value of the land subject to remediation. Remediation was substantially completed in 2003. Completion of remediation on one of the subject parcels occurred after the close of the second quarter and approximately $2.9 million of escrowed funds were released to the Company on August 1, 2006. The Company expects remaining remediation to be complete and the amounts held in escrow to be released to the Company in 2006.
 
The Company’s former paper mill site in Gulf County and certain adjacent real property north of the paper mill site are subject to various Consent Agreements and Brownfield Site Rehabilitation Agreements with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The paper mill site has been assessed and rehabilitated by Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation in accordance with these agreements. Management does not believe the liability for any remaining required rehabilitation on these properties will be material.
 
Other proceedings involving environmental matters such as alleged discharge of oil or waste material into water or soil are pending against the Company. It is not possible to quantify future environmental costs because many issues relate to actions by third parties or changes in environmental regulation. However, based on information presently available, management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Aggregate environmental-related accruals were $4.0 million as of both June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview
 
The St. Joe Company is one of Florida’s largest real estate operating companies. We believe we have one of the largest inventories of private land suitable for development in the State of Florida, with a very low cost basis. The majority of our land is located in Northwest Florida. In order to optimize the value of these core real estate assets, our business plan calls for us to reposition our substantial timberland holdings for higher and better uses. We increase the value of our raw land assets, most of which are currently managed as timberland, through the entitlement, development and subsequent sale of residential and commercial parcels, home sites and homes, or through the direct sale of unimproved land.
 
We have four operating segments: Towns & Resorts, commercial real estate, land sales, and forestry.
 
Our Towns & Resorts segment generates revenues from:
 
  •  the sale of developed home sites to retail customers and builders;
 
  •  the sale of parcels of entitled, undeveloped land;
 
  •  the sale of housing units built by us;
 
  •  rental income;
 
  •  club operations;
 
  •  investments in limited partnerships and joint ventures;
 
  •  brokerage, title issuance and mortgage origination fees on certain transactions within our Towns & Resorts developments; and
 
  •  management fees.
 
Our commercial real estate segment generates revenues from:
 
  •  the rental and/or sale of commercial buildings owned and/or developed by us; and
 
  •  the sale of developed and undeveloped land for retail, multi-family, office and industrial uses.
 
Our land sales segment generates revenues from:
 
  •  the sale of parcels of undeveloped land; and
 
  •  the sale of developed home sites primarily within rural settings.
 
Our forestry segment generates revenues from:
 
  •  the sale of pulpwood and timber; and
 
  •  the sale of cypress lumber and mulch.
 
Our ability to generate revenues, cash flows and profitability is directly related to the real estate market, primarily in Florida, and the economy in general. Economic, political and weather-related conditions could have adverse effects on consumer buying behavior, construction costs, availability of labor and materials, the cost and availability of insurance, the availability of and changes in prices of fuel and energy, and other factors affecting us and the real estate industry in general and coastal real estate in particular. Additionally, increases in interest rates could reduce the demand for homes we build and home sites we develop, particularly primary housing and home sites and commercial properties we develop or sell.
 
Sales activity in our resort residential projects in Northwest Florida has remained slow, significantly impacting revenue and earnings this year. Furthermore, considering the high levels of resale inventory available in many parts of Florida, including the Company’s core markets in Northwest Florida, we believe activity in our resort and seasonal markets will remain slow for at least 18-24 months before there is a return to supply-demand equilibrium. Sales in some of our primary-home communities have also declined due to softening demand, reflecting the broader

Florida real estate slowdown, along with a temporary lack of product availability primarily due to permitting and platting issues that have since been resolved. However, there are signs of relative strength in other product categories, including commercial and rural land businesses. Regardless of short term market conditions, we believe that long-term prospects of job growth, coupled with strong in-migration population expansion in Florida, indicate that demand levels may remain favorable over the long term. We remain committed to long-term value creation, continuing to diversify our development business and generating land sales for a broad range of uses and price points.
 
We are continuing to develop our relationships with national and regional homebuilders. We have executed purchase and option contracts with several national and regional homebuilders for the purchase of developed lots in various communities. These transactions involve land positions in pre-development phases of JOE communities as well as phases currently under development. These transactions provide opportunities for us to accelerate value realization, while at the same time decreasing capital intensity and increasing efficiency in how we deliver primary housing to the market. We expect national and regional homebuilders to be meaningful customers going forward.

Critical Accounting Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, we evaluate the results of these estimates on an on-going basis. Management’s estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
The critical accounting policies that we believe reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are set forth in Item 7 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. There have been no significant changes in these policies during the first six months of 2006, except for changes related to stock-based compensation, as described below.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions (“FAS 152”). FAS 152 clarifies the accounting for sales and other transactions involving real estate time-sharing transactions and is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of FAS 152 did not have any effect on our financial statements.
 
In October 2005, the FASB published FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 13-1, Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period (“FSP 13-1”), which stipulates that a lessee’s rental costs associated with operating leases during a construction period must be recognized as rental expense, included in income from continuing operations and allocated over the lease term according to current guidance on accounting for leases. Further, FSP 13-1 does not apply to projects accounted for under FAS 67. The impact of adopting FSP 13-1 did not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2005, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force’s (“EITF”) consensus on Issue No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (“EITF 04-5”). In addition, the FASB issued FSP SOP 78-9-1,“Interaction of AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 78-9 and EITF Issue 04-5” to amend SOP 78-9, Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures, so that its guidance is consistent with the consensus reached by the EITF in EITF No. 04-5. EITF 04-5 establishes that determining control of a limited partnership requires judgment, but that generally a sole general partner is deemed to control a limited partnership unless the limited partners have (a) the ability to substantially liquidate the partnership or otherwise remove the general partner without cause and/or (b) substantive participating rights. This consensus applies to limited partnerships or similar entities, such as limited liability companies that have governing provisions that are the functional equivalent of a limited partnership. Based on our evaluation of the operating agreements and history of decision making, we believe we are not required to consolidate any of our current unconsolidated investments. Accordingly, this EITF has not had a material effect on our financial statements.
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (“FAS 154”). FAS 154 requires companies making voluntary changes to their accounting policies to apply the changes retrospectively, meaning that past earnings will be revised to reflect the impact in each period, rather than the current practice of taking a single charge against current earnings. The statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting policies and to new rules issued by the FASB that require companies to change their accounting, unless otherwise stated in the new rules. FAS 154 was effective for us beginning January 1, 2006, with earlier application allowed. The impact of adopting FAS 154 did not have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Table of Contents

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. We will adopt this Interpretation in the first quarter of 2007. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying FIN 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements, but are not yet in a position to determine the impact of the standard.
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
We adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), on January 1, 2006. We elected the modified-prospective method of adoption, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The valuation provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of January 1, 2006.
 
We currently use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors (term of option), risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.
 
If factors change and we employ different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense in future periods or if we decide to use a different valuation model, the future periods may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period and could materially affect our operating income, net income and net income per share.
 
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of stock options. Existing valuation models, including Black-Scholes, may not provide reliable measures of the fair values of our stock-based compensation. Consequently, there is a risk that our estimates of the fair values of our stock-based compensation awards on the grant dates may bear little resemblance to the actual values realized upon the exercise, expiration, early termination or forfeiture of those stock-based payments in the future. Certain stock-based payments, such as employee stock options, may expire worthless or otherwise result in zero intrinsic value as compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. Alternatively, value may be realized from these instruments that are significantly higher than the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our consolidated financial statements. There currently is no market-based mechanism or other practical application to verify the reliability and accuracy of the estimates stemming from these valuation models, nor is there a means to compare and adjust the estimates to actual values.
 
Results of Operations
 
Net income decreased $18.9 million, or 50%, to $19.0 million, or $.25 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2006, compared to $37.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2005. Results for the period ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 reported in discontinued operations include the operations of Advantis Real Estate Services Company (“Advantis”), and six commercial buildings sold in 2006 and 2005.
 
We report revenues from our four operating segments: Towns & Resorts, commercial real estate, land sales, and forestry. Real estate sales are generated from sales of residential homes and home sites, parcels of developed and undeveloped land, and commercial buildings which are not reported as discontinued operations. Rental revenue is generated primarily from lease income related to our portfolio of investment and development properties as a component of the commercial real estate segment. Timber sales are generated from the forestry segment. Other revenues are primarily club operations and management fees from the Towns & Resorts segment.

Revenues generated during the first quarter of each year by our largest segment, Towns & Resorts, are typically lower than other quarters of the year, particularly in Northwest Florida, where visitation levels and sales are lowest during this period.

The decreases in revenues from real estate sales and cost of real estate sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 compared to 2005 were in each case primarily due to decreased revenues in the Towns & Resorts segment and land sales in the commercial real estate segment. The increases in rental revenues and cost of rental revenues were in each case primarily due to the purchase of a commercial building in the commercial real estate segment in December 2005. Timber revenue increased primarily in the second quarter of 2006 due to increased sales and pricing to the Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation mill, and in the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 due to increased harvesting of pine for outside customers. Cost of timber revenues increased in each case due to increased logging costs caused primarily by higher fuel prices and road maintenance costs. Other revenues decreased primarily due to a decrease in resale brokerage activity in our Towns & Resorts segment. Other operating expenses increased during the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to a new regional marketing campaign and increased insurance costs in our Towns & Resorts segment. For further discussion of revenues and expenses, see Segment Results below.
 
Corporate expense.  Corporate expense, representing corporate general and administrative expenses, increased $1.6 million, or 13%, to $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2006, from $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily due to increases in stock compensation, compensation costs, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses. Stock compensation increased $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to 2005 as a result of acceleration of restricted stock amortization totaling $0.9 million related to the retirement of our President and COO, $0.1 million related to other restricted stock amortization and $1.0 million of stock compensation expense recorded under SFAS 123R. Compensation costs decreased $1.6 million due to a decrease of $2.8 million in corporate bonus and other employee benefits, offset by accelerating the expensing of salary and bonus of $1.2 million related to the retirement of our President and COO. Professional fees increased $0.6 million as a result of increased litigation costs. Other general and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million due to increases in insurance and marketing costs.

Table of Contents

Corporate expense increased $5.4 million, or 23%, to $29.3 million in the first six months of 2006, from $23.9 million in the first six months of 2005. The increase was primarily due to increases in stock compensation, compensation cost, professional fees, and other general and administrative expenses. Stock compensation increased $4.3 million in the first six months of 2006 compared to 2005 as a result of acceleration of restricted stock amortization totaling $2.0 million related to the retirement of our President and COO, $0.3 million related to other restricted stock amortization and $2.0 million of stock compensation expense recorded under SFAS 123R. Compensation costs decreased $0.8 million due to a decrease of $3.3 million in corporate bonus and other employee benefits, offset by accelerating the expensing of salary and bonus of $2.5 million related to the retirement of our President and COO. Professional fees increased $1.4 million as a result of increased litigation costs. Other general and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million primarily due to increased marketing costs.
 
Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization increased $0.5 million, or 5%, to $9.7 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to $9.2 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, and $1.5 million, or 8%, to $19.9 million in the first six months of 2006, compared to $18.4 million in the first six months of 2005. The increase was primarily due to an increase in depreciation resulting from the purchase of commercial operating properties.
 
Other income (expense).  Other income (expense) consists of investment income, interest expense, gains on sales and dispositions of assets, litigation accruals and other income. Other income (expense) was $(1.9) million and $(2.1) million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $(5.4) million and $(3.2) million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Other expense increased during the first six months of 2006 primarily due to increased litigation accruals of $2.5 million.
 
Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates.  We have investments in affiliates that are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates totaled $2.7 million and $5.5 million in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $5.6 million and $7.4 million in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decreases in equity income were in each case primarily due to the recording of income related to the gain on sale of Deerfield Commons I, L.L.C., which was sold in the second quarter of 2005.
 
Income tax expense.  Income tax expense, including income tax on discontinued operations, totaled $12.3 million and $22.4 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $14.8 million and $31.9 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our effective tax rates were 39.4% and 37.1% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 39.4% and 37.4% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For information on our expected increases in tax payments during 2006, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section.
 
Discontinued Operations.  Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, totaled $2.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to $0.2 million in 2005, and $2.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $(0.2) million in 2005. The increase is primarily related to a gain on sale, net of tax, of $2.7 million related to two buildings sold in the second quarter of 2006.
 
Segment Results
 
Towns & Resorts
 
Our Towns & Resorts segment develops large-scale, mixed-use resort, primary and seasonal residential communities, primarily on land we own with very low cost basis. We own large tracts of land in Northwest Florida, including significant Gulf of Mexico beach frontage and waterfront properties, and land near Jacksonville, in Deland and near Tallahassee, the state capital. Our residential homebuilding business in North and South Carolina is conducted through Saussy Burbank, Inc. (“Saussy Burbank”), a wholly owned subsidiary.
 
Resort residential sales have slowed significantly in 2006, compared to the more active pace of recent years. Considering the high levels of resale inventory available in our resort communities as well as in the markets where we operate, we believe activity in our resort and seasonal markets will remain slow for at least 18 to 24 months before there is a return to supply-demand equilibrium. Sales in some of our primary-home communities have also declined due to softening demand, reflecting the broader Florida real estate slowdown, along with a temporary lack

of product availability in certain communities, primarily due to permitting and platting issues that have since been resolved. We are introducing new products at lower price points within some of our developments to fill market segments where there is more limited competitive supply.
 
We continue to see increases in labor and construction material costs. Consequently, we believe our margins may continue to be adversely affected by any additional increases in such costs.
 
We are continuing to develop our relationships with national and regional homebuilders. We have executed purchase and option contracts with several national and regional homebuilders for the purchase of developed lots in various communities. These transactions involve land positions in pre-development phases of JOE communities as well as phases currently under development. These transactions provide opportunities for us to accelerate value realization, while at the same time decreasing capital intensity and increasing efficiency in how we deliver primary housing to the market. We expect national and regional homebuilders to be meaningful customers going forward.

Revenues and costs of sales associated with multi-family units and Private Residence Club (“PRC”) units under construction are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Revenue on contracted units is recognized in proportion to the percentage of total costs incurred in relation to estimated total costs. If a deposit is received for less than 10% for a multi-family or PRC unit, percentage-of-completion accounting is not utilized. Instead, full accrual accounting criteria are used, which recognize revenue when sales contracts are closed. All deposits are non-refundable (subject to a 15-day rescission period as required by law), except for non-delivery of the unit. In the event a contract does not close for reasons other than non-delivery, we are entitled to retain the deposit. In such instances, the revenue and margin related to the previously recorded contract is reversed. Revenues and cost of sales associated with multi-family units where construction has been completed before contracts are entered into and deposits made are recognized on the full accrual method of accounting as contracts are closed.
 
Our townhomes are attached building units sold individually along with a parcel of land. Revenues and cost of sales for our townhomes are accounted for using the full accrual method. These units differ from multi-family and PRC units, in which buyers hold title to a unit or fractional share of a unit, respectively, within a building and an interest in the underlying land held in common with other building association members.

Profit is deferred on home site sales when required development is not complete at the time of the sale. Currently, we are deferring a portion of profit from home site sales at WaterSound West Beach and SummerCamp. The closing of the home site is recorded at the time of the sale, while a portion of revenue and gross profit on the sales at those communities is deferred based on required development not yet completed in relation to total required development costs and recognized by the percentage-of-completion method as the work is completed.
 
Northwest Florida
 
WaterColor is situated on approximately 499 acres on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico in south Walton County. We are building single-family and multi-family residences and selling developed home sites in WaterColor. This resort community is planned to include approximately 1,140 units, including a PRC with fractional ownership. From WaterColor’s inception through June 30, 2006, total contracts accepted and closed totaled 865 homes and home sites, including 11 PRC units. Each PRC unit represents eight PRC interests.
 
WaterSound Beach, located approximately five miles east of WaterColor and situated on approximately 256 acres, includes over one mile of beachfront on the Gulf of Mexico.

Construction on the realignment of a 3.5-mile segment of U.S. 98 within WindMark Beach is scheduled for completion during the third quarter of 2006. Plans for this resort community provide for a public beachfront trail system to be constructed on the existing road bed once the road has been relocated away from the beach. Five retail home sites and one beachfront home remain to be sold of the 110 units in the first 80-acre phase, none of which have yet been offered for sale. From WindMark Beach’s inception through June 30, 2006, contracts for 104 home sites were accepted and closed from the first phase.

Real estate sales include sales of homes and home sites, as well as sales of land. Cost of real estate sales for homes and home sites includes direct costs (e.g., development and construction costs), selling costs and other indirect costs (e.g., construction overhead, capitalized interest, warranty and project administration costs).

In Northwest Florida, our current resort and seasonal communities include WaterColor, WaterSound Beach, WaterSound West Beach, WaterSound, WindMark Beach, and SummerCamp while current primary communities include Hawks Landing, Palmetto Trace, The Hammocks, SouthWood and Port St. Joe primary housing. In Northeast Florida the only current primary community is St. Johns Golf and Country Club. Current Central Florida communities include Artisan Park and Victoria Park, both of which are primary. North and South Carolina include Saussy Burbank’s primary communities in Charlotte, Raleigh and Charleston.
 
In our Northwest Florida resort communities, closed units, revenues and gross profit decreased significantly in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005 as the demand for resort residential product has decreased. The gross profit from home site sales decreased to $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $35.9 million in the same quarter last year due primarily to a significant decrease in the number of home sites sold and closed. Also, no gross profit was recognized on the sale of multi-family residences in the second quarter of 2006, compared to $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2005, due to the percentage-of-completion profit recognition on multi-family residences at WaterSound Beach in 2005 and the lack of construction and sales activity of this product during 2006.

Since required development was not complete at WaterSound West Beach and SummerCamp at the time home sites were closed in these communities, percentage of completion accounting was used. As a result, for home sites closed in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 at WaterSound West Beach, $0.2 million in revenue and $0.1 million of gross profit was deferred. At SummerCamp, for the home sites closed in the quarter ended June 30, 2006, $0.9 million in revenue and $0.6 million of gross profit was deferred. From project inception to date, WaterSound West Beach has remaining unrecognized deferred profit of $2.3 million, substantially all of which we expect to recognize by the end of 2007. SummerCamp has remaining unrecognized deferred profit of $8.5 million, substantially all of which we expect to recognize over the next several years as the required infrastructure is completed.
 
In our Northwest Florida primary communities, overall gross profit increased to $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2005 due to increases in sales prices, despite lower revenues and a reduction in the number of units closed. The gross profit from single-family home sales increased to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2005, primarily due to an increase in the average sales price of the homes closed in Palmetto Trace. Townhome revenues and the number of townhomes closed decreased in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 as we have closed on most of the townhomes previously offered for sale in these communities. Home site revenues and gross profit decreased in the second quarter of 2006 compared with the second quarter of 2005 due to a decrease in closings in SouthWood as a result of softening demand reflecting the broader Florida real estate slowdown, along with a temporary lack of product availability primarily due to permitting and platting issues that have since been resolved. However, this decrease was partially offset by increased home site closings in Palmetto Trace resulting from our expanding relationship with David Weekley Homes.
 
In our Northeast Florida communities, closed units, revenues and gross profit decreased in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005 as a result of a lack of product availability. St. Johns Golf and Country Club is nearing its completion later in 2006, while James Island and Hampton Park were completed during 2005. However, future product will become available in Northeast Florida as sales in Rivertown are expected to begin in 2007. Gross profit percentages on single-family home sales have increased as a result of closing homes sold at higher prices in the strong real estate market in 2005. The average price of a single-family residence closed in the second quarter of 2006 was $535,000 compared to $411,000 in the second quarter of 2005.
 
In our Central Florida communities, the gross profit on single-family home sales increased to $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2005, despite unit closings decreasing to 52 from 104 a year ago. The increase was a result of our ability to achieve stronger pricing on contracts entered into in these communities last year. Gross profit margin recognized using percentage-of-completion accounting on multi-family residences increased to 35% in the second quarter of 2006 from 22% in the second quarter of 2005 due primarily to our ability to raise prices to more than offset increased construction costs. Home site revenues and gross profit decreased in the second quarter of 2006 compared with the same period in 2005 due to a decrease in the number of units closed, while increased sales of townhomes during the second quarter of 2006 resulted in increased revenues and gross profit from townhome sales of $7.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, as compared to the second quarter of 2005.
 
In our North and South Carolina communities, the gross profit on single-family home sales increased to $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $4.2 million in 2005 due primarily to price increases on comparable homes. The average price of a home closed in the second quarter of 2006 was $283,000 compared to $246,000 in the second quarter of 2005.
 
Other revenues included revenues from the WaterColor Inn and WaterColor vacation rental program, other resort and club operations, management fees and brokerage activities. Other revenues were $12.4 million in the second quarter of 2006 with $12.2 million in related costs, compared to revenues totaling $13.9 million in the second quarter of 2005 with $11.5 million in related costs. The decrease in other revenues and related gross profit of other revenues was primarily due to the decrease in resale brokerage activity.
 
Other operating expenses included salaries and benefits, marketing, project administration, support personnel and other administrative expenses. Other operating expenses remained consistent at $12.2 million in both the second quarter of 2006 and 2005.

In our Northwest Florida resort communities, gross profit from home site sales decreased to $4.3 million in 2006 from $51.9 million in the same period last year due primarily to a significant decrease in the number of home sites sold and closed. Also, no gross profit was recognized on the sale of multi-family residences in 2006, compared to $7.9 million in 2005, due to the completion of multi-family residences in WaterSound Beach in 2005. These decreases were partially offset by increases in revenues, cost of sales and gross profit on single-family residences due primarily to 2006 closings of cottages at WaterSound Beach.
 
Since required development was not complete at WaterSound West Beach and SummerCamp at the time home sites were closed in these communities, percentage of completion accounting was used. As a result, for home sites closed in 2006 at WaterSound West Beach, we deferred $0.6 million in revenue and $0.4 million of gross profit. At SummerCamp, for home sites closed in 2006, we deferred $1.1 million in revenue and $0.7 million of gross profit. From project inception to date, WaterSound West Beach has remaining unrecognized deferred profit of $2.3 million, substantially all of which we expect to recognize by the end of 2007. SummerCamp has unrecognized deferred profit of $8.5 million, substantially all of which we expect to recognize over the next several years as the required infrastructure is completed.
 
In our Northwest Florida primary communities, overall gross profit increased to $12.9 million in 2006 from $8.0 million in 2005 due primarily to increases in sales prices, despite a reduction in the number of units closed. The gross profit from single-family home sales increased to $9.1 million in 2006 from $4.8 million in 2005 primarily due to an increase in the average sales price of homes closed in Palmetto Trace and SouthWood. Townhome revenues and the number of townhomes closed decreased in 2006 as compared to 2005 as we have closed on most of the townhomes previously offered for sale in these communities. Home site gross profit increased in 2006 compared with 2005 due primarily to increased closings in Palmetto Trace and Hawks Landing resulting from our expanding relationships with the national and regional homebuilders.
 
In our Northeast Florida communities, closed units, revenues and gross profit decreased in 2006 as compared to 2005 as a result of a lack of product availability. St. Johns Golf and Country Club is nearing its completion later in 2006, while James Island and Hampton Park were completed during 2005. However, future product will become available in Northeast Florida as sales in RiverTown are expected to begin in 2007. Gross profit percentages on single-family home sales have increased as a result of closing homes sold at higher prices in the strong real estate market in 2005. The average price of a single-family residence closed in 2006 was $516,000 compared to $396,000 in 2005.
 
In our Central Florida communities, the gross profit on single-family home sales increased to $17.0 million in 2006 from $6.6 million in 2005 despite unit closings decreasing to 102 from 173 a year ago. The increase was a result of our ability to achieve stronger pricing on contracts entered into in these communities last year. Gross profit percentages recognized using percentage-of-completion accounting on multi-family residences increased to 35% in 2006 from 24% in 2005 due primarily to our ability to raise prices to more than offset increased construction costs. Home site revenue and gross profit decreased in 2006 compared with 2005 due to a decrease in the number of units closed, while increased sales of townhomes during 2006 resulted in increased revenues and gross profit of $12.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively, as compared to 2005.
 
In our North and South Carolina communities, the gross profit on single-family home sales increased to $9.8 million in 2006 from $7.4 million in 2005 due primarily to price increases on comparable homes. The average price of a home closed in 2006 was $275,000 compared to $243,000 in 2005.
 
Other revenues included revenues from the WaterColor Inn and WaterColor vacation rental program, other resort and club operations, management fees and brokerage activities. Other revenues were $19.8 million in 2006 with $20.2 million in related costs, compared to revenues totaling $21.8 million in 2005 with $19.1 million in related costs. The decrease in revenue and gross profit of other revenues was primarily due to the decrease in resale brokerage activity.
 
Other operating expenses included salaries and benefits, marketing, project administration, support personnel and other administrative expenses. Other operating expenses in 2006 were $25.6 million compared to $22.7 million in 2005. The increase is due primarily to a new regional marketing campaign and an increase in insurance costs which is expected to continue throughout 2006.

The change in average per-acre prices reflects a change in the mix of commercial land sold in each period, with varying compositions of retail, office, light industrial, multi-family and other commercial uses. Pricing continued to increase in the second quarter and year-to-date 2006 for office and light industrial land with average pricing at our Commerce Parks at $252,000 per acre and $238,000 per acre in the second quarter and year-to-date 2006, compared with average pricing of $116,000 per acre and $132,000 per acre in the second quarter and year-to-date 2005.
 
In the second quarter of 2006, we closed the sale of two multifamily parcels totaling 17.5 acres in Tallahassee’s SouthWood Town Center for $5.5 million and $2.0 million of pre-tax gain, of which $0.1 million is deferred.
 
In the second quarter of 2005, we sold a 207-acre industrial parcel near the Port of Houston, originally acquired in 1946, for $2.8 million and a pre-tax gain of $2.0 million.

Rental Revenues.  Rental revenues generated by our commercial real estate segment on owned operating properties increased $1.0 million, or 11%, for the second quarter 2006 compared to the second quarter 2005, and $2.9 million, or 16%, year-to-date 2006 compared to year-to-date 2005. Both increases were primarily due to the acquisition of one building in December of 2005, with approximately 225,000 rentable square feet. The six months ended June 30, 2006 also included recognition of $0.8 million of termination fee revenue related to three tenants terminating their leases prior to expiration date and which were recognized in the first quarter 2006. Cost of rental revenues increased $0.6 million, or 18%, for the second quarter 2006 compared to the second quarter 2005 and $1.1 million, or 16%, year-to-date 2006 compared to year-to-date 2005, primarily due to the building acquisition and increased operating costs.
 
This segment’s results from continuing operations included rental revenues and cost of rental revenues from 21 rental properties with 2.5 million total rentable square feet in service at June 30, 2006, and 18 rental properties with 2.2 million total rentable square feet in service at June 30, 2005.

In 2005 the sole tenant in a building in Virginia opted for early termination effective February 21, 2007. In the second quarter of 2006, an amendment was executed extending the lease expiration until February 28, 2008. At this time a replacement tenant has not yet been obtained. We are continuing to aggressively market the vacant spaces in Atlanta and Virginia.
 
Depreciation and amortization, primarily consisting of depreciation on income producing properties and amortization of lease intangibles, increased to $5.2 million compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $11.3 million compared to $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, due to the building placed in service in December 2005.
 
Discontinued Operations.  Discontinued operations related to this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2006 include the sale and results of operations of two commercial buildings sold in June 2006. Discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 include the results of operations of Advantis, two commercial buildings sold in June 2006, as well as four commercial buildings sold in the third and fourth quarters of 2005. Building sales included in discontinued operations for 2006 consisted of the sale of Prestige Place One & Two in Tampa, Florida. The two office buildings, totaling 147,000 square feet, were sold on June 28, 2006, for proceeds of $18.1 million and a pre-tax gain of $4.4 million.

Sales of Florida Wild totaled $12.5 million for 2,910 acres at an average price of $4,288 per acre in the second quarter of 2006. These results include the sale of 2,590 acres along the St. Marks River for a new state park. The parcel sold for $10.6 million, or approximately $4,093 per acre.
 
Other
 
During the second quarter of 2006, we sold 269 acres to small developers and local businesses for $2.5 million, or an average of $9,446 per acre, compared to 7 acres for $0.5 million, or an average of $65,714 per acre in the

second quarter of 2005. During the six month period ended June 30, 2006, we sold 428 acres to small developers and local businesses for $6.2 million, or an average of $14,452 per acre, compared to 72 acres for $2.8 million, or an average of $38,544 per acre during the six month period ended June 30, 2005.
 
Average sales prices per acre and the number of sales can vary significantly from one period to another based on the characteristics of each parcel being sold and the number and size of parcels offered for sale.
 
RiverCamps
 
Recent activity in our RiverCamps project has slowed significantly compared to the more active pace of the prior year. Considering the high level of resale inventory available in this community, we believe activity will remain slow for at least 18 to 24 months before there is a return to supply-demand equilibrium.
 
During the second quarter of 2006, three contracts were closed for proceeds of $0.6 million related to home sites at RiverCamps on Crooked Creek, or an average price of $210,000, compared to 57 contracts closed for proceeds of $17.3 million, or an average price of $304,105 in 2005.
 
During the first six months of 2006, six contracts were closed for proceeds of $1.4 million related to home sites at RiverCamps on Crooked Creek at an average price of $225,667. Due to reduced down payment requirements resulting from builder incentive programs, revenue and gross profit on one of these contracts has been deferred until the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is sufficient to meet the criteria for full accrual accounting. During the first six months of 2005, we sold 80 home sites for proceeds of $24.9 million, or an average price of $311,012. The change in average price reflects a change in the mix of home sites sold in each period.
 
Since required development was not complete at the time of sale, percentage of completion accounting was used. The closing of the home site is recorded at the time of sale, while a portion of revenue and gross profit on the sale is deferred based on the cost of required development not yet completed in relation to total required development costs. As a result, the land sales segment recognized $3.4 million in revenue related to RiverCamps, with related costs of $1.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2006, RiverCamps has a remaining unrecognized deferred profit of $5.4 million, the majority of which is expected to be recognized in income by the end of 2006. Planning also continues for other potential RiverCamps locations in Northwest Florida.

Total revenues increased $0.2 million, or 3%, in the second quarter of 2006 compared to 2005. Total sales under the fiber agreement with Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation were $3.3 million (172,500 tons) in 2006 and


34


Table of Contents

$3.0 million (167,000) in 2005. Sales to other customers totaled $2.7 million (151,000 tons) in 2006 as compared to $2.8 million (156,000 tons) in 2005. The increase in sales to Smurfit-Stone was due to an increase in harvested tons attributable to dry weather and an increase in price per ton under the terms of the agreement. Revenues from the cypress mill operation were $1.8 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Cost of timber sales for the second quarter of 2006 increased $1.4 million, or 29%, when compared to 2005. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues were 81% in 2006 and 64% in 2005. The 2006 increase in cost of sales was due to increased logging costs caused by higher diesel fuel prices, increased road maintenance expense and property taxes. Cost of sales for the cypress mill operation was $1.6 million in 2006 and $1.3 million in 2005. The increase in cost of sales is due to procuring more wood from outside vendors instead of the Company and remanufacturing costs to meet customer order specifications.
 
Six Months Ended June 30
 
Total revenues increased $0.7 million, or 4%, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to 2005. Sales under the fiber agreement were $6.5 million (349,000 tons) in 2006 and $6.2 million (344,000 tons) in 2005. Sales to other customers totaled $6.5 million (325,000 tons) in the first six months of 2006 as compared to $5.5 million (291,000 tons) in 2005. The increase in revenue and tons for outside customers was due to the harvesting of more pine products because of the dry weather this year. Revenues for the cypress mill operation were $3.3 million in 2006 and $3.9 million in 2005. The lower revenues were due to selling a different mix of lumber sizes than the previous year. Mulch sales were also lower in 2006 due to lack of customer demand for our product.
 
Cost of sales for the forestry segment increased $2.1 million in 2006 compared to 2005. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 75% in 2006 and 65% in 2005. The 2006 increase in cost of sales was due to increased logging costs caused by an increase in diesel fuel prices, increased road maintenance expense and property taxes. Cost of sales for the cypress mill operation was $2.9 million in 2006 and $2.7 million in 2005. The increase was due to procuring more wood from outside vendors.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We generate cash from:
 
  •  Operations;
 
  •  Sales of land holdings, other assets and subsidiaries;
 
  •  Borrowings from financial institutions and other debt; and
 
  •  Issuances of equity, primarily from the exercise of employee stock options.
 
We use cash for:
 
  •  Operations;
 
  •  Real estate development;
 
  •  Construction and homebuilding;
 
  •  Repurchases of our common stock;
 
  •  Payments of dividends;
 
  •  Repayments of debt;
 
  •  Payments of taxes; and
 
  •  Investments in joint ventures and acquisitions.
 
Management believes that our financial condition is strong and that our cash, real estate and other assets, operating cash flows, and borrowing capacity, taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating requirements and future capital expenditures related to the continued investment in real estate developments. In light of current market conditions, however, we have significantly adjusted our capital investment plans and


35


Table of Contents

continue to evaluate further reductions. If our liquidity were not adequate to fund operating requirements, capital development, stock repurchases and dividends, we would have various alternatives to change our cash flow, including eliminating or reducing our stock repurchase program, eliminating or reducing dividends, altering the timing of our development projects and/or selling existing assets.
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
Net cash (used in) provided by operations was ($139.6) million during the first six months of 2006 compared to $51.3 million in 2005. During such periods, expenditures relating to our Towns & Resorts segment were $326.2 and $244.5 million, respectively. Expenditures for operating properties in the first six months of 2006 and 2005 totaled $23.1 million and $7.0 million, respectively, and were made up of commercial land development and residential club and resort property development. Additionally, we paid $49.0 million in tax payments related to the 2005 and 2006 tax years in the first six months of 2006.
 
The expenditures for operating activities relating to our Towns & Resorts and commercial real estate segments are primarily for site infrastructure development, general amenity construction and construction of homes and commercial land. Approximately 40-45% of these expenditures are for home construction that generally takes place after the signing of a binding contract with a buyer to purchase the home following construction. As a consequence, if contract activity slows, home construction will also slow. We expect this general expenditure level and relationship between expenditures and housing contracts to continue in the future. We are thoroughly reviewing all capital investment decisions in order to properly pace development to meet the market as well as bring quality first phases in our next-generation projects to the point of sale in an efficient manner. However, if sales of home sites to national, regional or local homebuilders increase significantly, the percentage of expenditures for home construction could decrease significantly.
 
Over the next several years, our need for cash for operations will increase as development activity increases. During 2006 and 2007, we will have five new residential communities under development which will require significant up-front capital investment. As a result, we expect new construction spending for these five projects to total approximately $150 million over the next four quarters. We believe this represents the bulk of the investment capital necessary to ready the initial phase of product for sale in these communities. In addition to cash needed for increased development costs, we expect to make significant cash payments of income taxes, including deferred taxes, in 2006 and future years. For the remainder of 2006, it is likely that income tax payments will exceed those paid through the first six months of the year. The payments of significant federal income taxes will be primarily attributable to the recognition of previously deferred gains on land sales and involuntary conversions.
 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
 
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities in the first six months of 2006 was $10.1 million compared to $(91.6) million in 2005, and primarily included proceeds of $17.3 million related to the sale of discontinued operations in 2006, and $82.9 million of investments in real estate in 2005.
 
Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2005 included the purchases of 16 acres of property in Manatee County, Florida, for $18.0 million and 47,303 acres of land in southwest Georgia for $57.5 million, in tax-deferred like-kind exchanges.
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
 
Net cash used in financing activities was $29.6 million and $31.9 million in the first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
We have approximately $51.6 million of debt maturing in the remainder of 2006. For the full year ended December 31, 2006, we expect to spend $125 million to $175 million for the repurchase of shares and dividend payments.
 
We have a $250 million senior revolving credit facility (the “credit facility”), which matures on July 31, 2009. During the first six months of 2006, we borrowed $50.0 million on the credit facility, net of repayments. At December 31, 2005, there was no outstanding balance. The credit facility contains financial covenants including


36


Table of Contents

maximum debt ratios and minimum fixed charge coverage and net worth requirements. At June 30, 2006, management believes the Company was in compliance with the covenants.
 
We have issued senior notes (“senior notes”) in private placements with an outstanding principal amount of $407.0 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. These senior notes include financial performance covenants similar to those in the credit facility. In July 2006, we entered into an amendment agreement with the 2002 noteholders that modifies certain financial covenants. The amendment, when effective, will provide increased leverage capacity along with increased flexibility in maintaining minimum net worth levels, one subsequent effect of which is to provide additional flexibility regarding distributions to shareholders. The effectiveness of the covenant modifications is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the Company’s prepayment of its $100 million outstanding 2004 senior notes. We have also entered into a loan agreement to provide a separate source of financing to potentially repay the 2004 senior notes.
 
The proceeds of the senior notes and credit facility are being used to finance development and construction projects, to reduce revolving debt and for general corporate purposes. Based on current projections, the potential exists for a meaningful increase in debt during the remainder of 2006.
 
We have used community development district (“CDD”) bonds to finance the construction of on-site infrastructure improvements at five of our projects. The principal and interest payments on the bonds are paid by assessments on, or from sales proceeds of, the properties benefited by the improvements financed by the bonds. We record a liability for future assessments which are fixed or determinable and will be levied against our properties. In accordance with EITF 91-10, Accounting for Special Assessments and Tax Increment Financing, we have recorded as debt $29.8 million and $14.7 million of this obligation as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
 
Through June 30, 2006, our Board of Directors had authorized a total of $950.0 million for the repurchase from time to time of our outstanding common stock from shareholders (the “Stock Repurchase Program”), of which $106.1 million remained available at June 30, 2006. From the inception of the Stock Repurchase Program through June 30, 2006, we have repurchased 27,897,511 shares. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we repurchased 900,100 and 576,100 shares, respectively. In the first six months of 2006, $47.4 million was expended as part of the Stock Repurchase Program compared to $42.9 million in the first six months of 2005. There is no expiration date for the Stock Repurchase Program, and the specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors.
 
Executives have surrendered a total of 2,109,738 shares of our stock since 1998 in payment of strike prices and taxes due on exercised stock options and taxes due on vested restricted stock. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, 4,596 shares worth $0.3 million and 61,203 shares worth $4.3 million, respectively, were surrendered by executives, of which $0.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, were for the cash payment of taxes due on exercised stock options and vested restricted stock.
 
As discussed above in Recently Issued Accounting Standards, we adopted SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006. In accordance with SFAS 123R, we recorded an excess tax benefit of $0.6 million related to share-based compensation in financing cash flows in six-month period ended June 30, 2006.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We are not currently a party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K.
 
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
 
We had contractual purchase obligations of $105.1 million outstanding at June 30, 2006, of which $50.2 million is due in less than one year and $54.9 million is due in 1-3 years. The aggregate reported purchase obligations include individual contracts in excess of $2.0 million.
 
There have been no other material changes to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments presented in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, during the first six months of 2006.
