Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements are not included herein. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. Investments in joint ventures and limited partnerships in which the Company has significant influence, butdoes not have a controlling interest are accounted for by the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2016 balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2016 audited consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017.
A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity in which a controlling financial interest may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the entity that possesses the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are significant to the entity. The Company consolidates VIEs when it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, including real estate joint ventures determined to be VIEs (see Note 8. Real Estate Joint Ventures).
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained herein. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company’s December 31, 2016 annual financial statements. As required under GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions. For interim financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded based upon estimated annual income tax rates.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions including investments in real estate, real estate impairment assessments, investments, other-than-temporary investment impairment assessments, retained interest investments, accruals and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank demand accounts, money market instruments and short term commercial paper having original maturities, at acquisition date, of ninety days or less.
Investments
Investments and restricted investments consist of available-for-sale securities recorded at fair value, which is established through external pricing services that use quoted market prices and pricing data from recently executed market transactions. Unrealized gains and temporary losses on investments, net of tax, are recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined using the specific identification method. The amortized cost of debt securities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity computed under the effective interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in investment income, net.
The Company evaluates investments classified as available-for-sale with an unrealized loss to determine if they are other-than-temporaryother-than-temporarily impaired. This evaluation is based on various factors, including the financial condition, business prospects, industry and creditworthiness of the issuer, severity and length of time the securities were in a loss position, the Company’s ability and intent to hold investments until the unrealized loss is recovered or until maturity and the amount of the unrealized loss. If a decline in fair value is considered other-than-temporary, the decline is then bifurcated into its credit and non-credit related components. The amount of the credit-related component is recognized in earnings, and the amount of the non-credit related component is recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income, unless the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to its anticipated recovery.
Restricted Investments
The Company’s restricted investments are related to the Company’s deferred compensation plan. As part of the Pension Plan termination in 2014, the Company directed the Pension Plan to transfer the Pension Plan’s surplus assets into a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) Plan. The Company has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets until they are allocated to current and future 401(k) plan participants for up to the next four years. See Note 14. Employee Benefit Plan.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received by selling an asset or paying to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, such as internally-developed valuation models which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets include the Company’s investments in operating and development property and property and equipment. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment quarterly to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. As part of the Company’s review for impairment of its long-lived assets, the Company reviews the long-lived asset’s carrying value, current period actual financial results as compared to prior period and forecast contained in the Company’s business plan and any other events or changes in circumstances to identify whether an indicator of potential impairment may exist. Some of the events or changes in circumstances that are considered by the Company as indicators of potential impairment include:
a prolonged decrease in the fair value or demand for the Company’s properties;
a change in the expected use or development plans for the Company’s properties;
a material change in strategy that would affect the fair value of the Company’s properties;
continuing operating or cash flow loss for an operating property;
an accumulation of costs in excess of the projected costs for a development property; and
any other adverse change that may affect the fair value of the property.
The Company uses varying methods to determine if an impairment exists, such as (i) considering indicators of potential impairment, (ii) analyzing expected future cash flows and comparing the expected future undiscounted cash flows of the property to its carrying value or (iii) determining market resale values.
During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.1 million included in the cost of real estate revenue, related to a residential property. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, there were no impairmentsthe Company recorded an impairment charge of long-lived assets.$0.4 million, included in the cost of real estate revenue, related to a commerce park.
Comprehensive Income
The Company’s comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and temporary losses on available-for-sale securities and restricted investments.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accountingCompany’s provision for income taxes. Deferredtaxes includes the current tax assets and liabilities are recognized forowed on the estimatedcurrent period earnings, as well as a deferred provision which reflects the future tax impact ofconsequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases.

The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, in interest expense and penalties in other income, net.
Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s real estate investments are concentrated in Northwest Florida in a number of specific development projects. Uncertain economic or other conditions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s real estate values and could cause the Company to sell assets at depressed values in order to pay ongoing obligations.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, investments, other receivables, investments held by special purpose entity or entities (“SPE”) and investments in retained interests. The Company deposits and invests cash with regional financial institutions and as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 these balances exceed the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company had $24.9$10.0 million invested in U.S. Treasury securities, $96.0101.5 million invested in seveneight issuers of corporate debt securities that are non-investment grade $40.3and $33.7 million invested in four issuers of preferred stock that are non-investment grade and $6.5 million invested in one issuer of common stock.grade. In addition, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company had investments of $207.2$141.6 million in short term commercial paper from elevennine issuers.

Revenue and Revenue Recognition
Revenue consists primarily of real estate sales, resorts and leisure operations, leasing operations, and timber sales. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities (e.g. sales tax) are excluded from revenue and costs and expenses.
Real Estate Revenue
Revenue from real estate sales, including sales of homesites, commercial properties and rural or timberland, is recognized when a sale is closed and title transfers to the buyer, the buyer’s initial investment is adequate, any receivables are probable of collection, the usual risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and the Company does not have significant continuing involvement with the real estate sold.
The buyer’s minimum initial investment requirement is typically the receipt of cash for approximately twenty to twenty-five percent of the sales value depending on the type and use of the property purchased. If the minimum initial investment requirement is not met, revenue may be deferred depending on the circumstances. In addition, revenue is not recognized until title transfers and any consideration received is deferred until title is transferred.
As part of the purchase price consideration for a homesite from sales to homebuilders, the Company may receive a percentage of the sale price of the completed home if the home price or gross profit of the home exceeds a negotiated threshold. These lot residuals are recognized as revenue when consideration is received by the Company in periods subsequent to the initial recognition of revenue for the sale of the homesite.
Resorts and Leisure Revenue
Resorts and leisure revenue includes service and rental fees associated with the WaterColor Inn and the Company’s vacation rental programs in WaterColor, WaterSound Beach and surrounding communities. In addition, other resorts and leisure revenue includes club membership sales, membership reservations, daily play at golf courses, merchandise sales, food and beverage sales, marina boat slip rentals, and fuel sales, and management services of The Pearl Hotel. The revenue is generally recognized as services are provided. Vacation rental revenue includes the entire rental fee collected from the customer, including the homeowner’s portion. A percentage of the fee is remitted to the homeowner and presented in cost of resorts and leisure revenue. The Company is the principal in its vacation rental business and has determined that it is the primary obligor to the guest, as it has sole discretion in establishing prices and provides the majority of the services to the guest. Club membership revenue is recognized when billed to the member and the non-refundable initiation fee is deferred and recognized ratably over the estimated membership period. Revenue generated from ourthe Company’s management services of The Pearl Hotel includes a management fee, fifty percent of certain resort fees and a percentage of The Pearl Hotel’s gross operating profit.
Leasing Revenue
Leasing revenue consists of long term rental revenue from retail, office and commercial operations, cell towers and other assets, which is recognized as earned, using the straight-line method over the life of each lease. Leasing revenue includes properties located in the Company’s consolidated Pier Park North JV and Windmark JV, as well as the Company’s industrial park, VentureCrossings, and other properties. Certain leases provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is due or where minimum rent payments change during the lease term. Accordingly, a receivable or liability is recorded representing the difference between the straight-line rent and the rent that is contractually due from the tenant.

Forestry Product Revenue
Revenue from the sale of the Company’s forestry products is primarily derived from pay-as-cut sales contracts or timber bid sales, whereby risk of loss and title to the trees transfer to the buyer when cut by the buyer. Under a pay-as-cut sales contract, the buyer or some other third party is responsible for all logging and hauling costs, if any.

Timber bid sales are agreements in which the buyer agrees to purchase and harvest specified timber (i.e. mature pulpwood and/or sawlogs) on a tract of land over the term of the contract. Unlike a pay-as-cut sales contract, risk of loss and title to the trees transfer to the buyer when the contract is signed. The buyer pays the full purchase price when the contract is signed and the Company does not have any additional performance obligations. Under a timber bid sale, the buyer or some other third party is responsible for all logging and hauling costs, if any, and the timing of such activity. Revenue from a timber bid sale is recognized when the contract is signed since the earnings process is complete.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Business Combinations
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 that clarifies the definition of a business for entities that must determine whether a business has been acquired or sold. The amendment is intended to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted under certain circumstances. The Company adopted the new guidance as of April 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company expects an impact to revenue-related disclosures as a result of adopting this guidance.
Financial Instruments
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 that amends existing guidance to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The new guidance will require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in results of operations. Additionally, certain disclosure requirements and other aspects of accounting for financial instruments will change as a result of the new guidance, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company plans to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2018 using a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of adoption. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of this guidance, and as a result of this evaluation, does determined the change in the fair value of its equity investments after January 1, 2018, will be recognized in the consolidated statements of income rather than the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, but is not expect it willexpected to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations andor cash flows.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 that amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize both finance and operating leases with terms of more than 12 months on the balance sheet. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from existing guidance. The amendments also require certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. The new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 that requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected and requires that credit losses from available-for-sale debt securities be presented as an allowance for credit loss. This new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Statement of Cash Flows
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 that amends the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments, to reduce the diversity in how certainthese cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. As this guidance only affects the classification within the statement of cash flows, it is not currently expected to have an impact on the Company’s cash flows.
Income TaxesStatement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash
In OctoberNovember 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-162016-18 that requires an entity to recognizethat the income tax consequencesstatement of an intra-entity transfercash flows explain the change during the period in the total of an asset other than inventorycash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the transfer occurs. Thisbeginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendment eliminates the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory.

Money market funds, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, certain preferred stock, common stockstocks and short-term bonds are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market and categorized within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Money market funds and commercial paper with a maturity date of ninety days or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
CorporateThe Company’s corporate debt securities and certain preferred stockstocks are not traded on a nationally recognized exchange but rather are traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market where there is less trading activity and these are measured primarily using pricing data from external pricing services that report prices observed for recently executed market transactions. For these reasons, the Company has determined that corporate debt securities and certain preferred stockstocks are categorized as level 2 financial instruments since their fair values were determined from market inputs in an inactive market.
Restricted investments include certain of the surplus assets that were transferred from the Company’s Pension Plan to a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) Plan in December 2014. The Company has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements until they are allocated to participants. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the assets held in the suspense account were invested in Vanguard Money Market Funds, which invest in short-term, high quality securities or short-term U.S. government securities and seek to provide current income and preserve shareholders’ principal investment and a Vanguard Short-Term Bond Fund, which invests in money market instruments and short-term high quality bonds, including asset-backed, government, and investment grade corporate securities with an expected maturity of 0-3 years. The Vanguard Money Market Funds and Vanguard Short-Term Bond Fund are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market and categorized within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s Retirement Plan Investment Committee is responsible for investing decisions and allocation decisions of the suspense account. Refer to Note 14. Employee Benefit Plan.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating fair value for financial instruments:
The fair value of the Company’s retained interest investments is based on the present value of the expected future cash flows at the effective yield.
The fair value of the investments held by special purpose entities - time deposit is based on the present value of future cash flows at the current market rate.
The fair value of the investments held by special purpose entities - U.S. Treasury securities are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market.
The fair value of the senior notes held by special purpose entity is based on the present value of future cash flows at the current market rate.

The carrying amount and fair value, measured on a nonrecurring basis, of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows:

8. Real Estate Joint Ventures
The Company enters into real estate joint ventures, from time to time, for the purpose of developing real estate in which the Company may or may not have a controlling financial interest. GAAP requires consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE loss andthat could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that arecould potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company examines specific criteria and uses judgment when determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate a VIE. The Company continues to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary on an ongoing basis.
Consolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures
In April 2017, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement to develop, manage and lease apartments in Panama City Beach, Florida. The joint venture parties are working together to design, develop and construct a 240 unit multi-family apartment home community to be located on land owned by the Company in the Pier Park area. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 the Company owned a 65.0% equity interest in the consolidated joint venture. The Company’s partner is responsible for the day-to-day activities of the joint venture. However, the Company has significant involvement in the design of the development and approves all major decisions, including project development, annual budgets and financing. The Company determined Pier Park Crossings JV is a VIE and that the Company is the VIE’s primary beneficiary as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017.



In December 2016, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement, pursuant to which the Company transferred to Windmark JV all of its interest in the Windmark Beach project. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company owned a 49.0% equity interest in the consolidated joint venture. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company is the managing member of Windmark JV and runs its day-to-day operations. Windmark JV owns and its members make major decisions related to the management and development of the Windmark Beach project. For financial accounting purposes, the Company is deemed to control Windmark JV, which is consolidated within the financial results of the Company as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
During 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with a partner to develop a retail center at Pier Park North. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company owned a 60.0% equity interest in the consolidated joint venture. The Company’s partner is responsible for the day-to-day activities of the joint venture. However, the Company has significant involvement in the design of the development and approves all major decisions, including project development, annual budgets and financing. The Company determined the joint venture is a VIE and that the Company is the VIE’s primary beneficiary as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
In addition, the Company is the primary beneficiary of Artisan Park, L.L.C, another real estate joint venture that is consolidated within the financial results of the Company. The Company is entitled to 74.0% of the profit or loss of this VIE and is responsible for the day-to-day activities of the joint venture.
Unconsolidated Real Estate VIE
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company was a partner in ALP Liquidating Trust (“ALP”) that is accounted for using the equity method. The joint venture was entered into to develop and sell certain mixed use residential and commercial projects. The Company has evaluated the VIE consolidation requirements with respect to this joint venture and has determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary, since the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE. The Company is not required to contribute additional funds to ALP.
In 2008, the Company wrote-off its investment in ALP as a result of ALP reserving its assets to satisfy potential claims and obligations in accordance with its publicly reported liquidation basis of accounting. Subsequently, ALP changed its method of accounting to a going concern basis and reinstated its equity and stated it would report certain expenses as they are incurred. The Company has not recorded any additional equity income as a result of ALP’s change in accounting.
Financial information for ALP is provided to the Company on a delayed basis. The summarized information as of March 31,June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 includes total assets of $11.0$10.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively, total liabilities of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively and total equity of $10.7$10.5 million and $10.9 million, respectively. For each of the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2017 and 2016, ALP reported a net loss of $0.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, ALP reported a net loss of $0.4 million and $0.3$0.5 million, respectively.

The Company has recorded a liability for CDD debt that is associated with platted property, which is the point at which it becomes fixed or determinable.

The Company had no federal net operating loss carryforwards as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company had a federal AMT credit carryforward of $10.2$8.7 million and $13.5 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The AMT credit carryforward is currently available indefinitely to offset future federal income tax liabilities. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of $404.1$395.3 million and $427.3 million, respectively.respectively and no federal net operating loss carryforwards. The state net operating loss is available to offset future taxable income through 2036.
In general, a valuation allowance is recorded if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future years in the appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain a benefit from the reversal of deductible temporary differences and from loss carryforwards.

As of December 31, 2016, based on the timing of reversal of future taxable amounts and the Company’s history of losses, management did not believe it met the requirements to realize the benefits of certain of its deferred tax assets; therefore, the Company had maintained a valuation allowance of $5.1 million. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company reversed $0.6$0.8 million of the valuation allowance that was recorded as of December 31, 2016. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, management believes it has not met the requirements to realize the benefits for a portion of its deferred tax assets for state net operating loss carryforwards; therefore, the Company has maintained a valuation allowance of $4.5$4.3 million for these deferred tax assets.
The Company had approximately $1.7 million of total unrecognized tax benefits as of each Juneboth September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Of this total, there are no amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate. There were no decreases or increases related to prior year or current year tax positions.
In December 2016, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement, pursuant to which the Company sold to Windmark JV all of its interest in the Windmark Beach project. The sale of the Windmark Beach project created a net taxable loss for the Company in 2016. The loss was carried back to 2014 for a federal income tax refund of $21.9 million, which was received during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017. In addition, the Company received a federal tax refund for 2016 of $4.4 million during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017.

17. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company establishes an accrued liability when it believes it is both probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company will evaluate the range of reasonably estimated losslosses and record an accrued liability based on what it believes to be the minimum amount in the range, unless it believes an amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amounts accrued. The Company evaluates quarterly whether further developments could affect the amount of the accrued liability previously established or would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.

The Company also provides disclosure when it believes it is reasonably possible that a material loss will be incurred or when it believes it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the recorded liability. The Company reviews loss contingencies at least quarterly to determine whether the likelihood of loss has changed and to assess whether a reasonable estimate of the losslosses or range of loss can be made. This estimated range of possible losslosses is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions, as well as known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.

The Company is subject to a variety of litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including litigation related to its prior homebuilding and development activities and those described herein.activities. The Company cannot assure that it will be successful in defending these matters. Based on current knowledge, the Company does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings, including those described herein, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Company. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.
The Company is subject to costs arising out of environmental laws and regulations, which include obligations to remove or limit the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of certain wastes or substances at various sites, including sites which have been previously sold. It is the Company’s policy to accrue and charge against earnings environmental cleanup costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and a range of loss can be reasonably estimated. As assessments and cleanups proceed, these accruals are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, as additional information becomes available.
The Company’s former paper mill site in Gulf County and certain adjacent properties are subject to various Consent Agreements and Brownfield Site Rehabilitation Agreements with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (“FDEP”). The paper mill site has been rehabilitated in accordance with these agreements and a final Site Rehabilitation Completion Order (“SRCO”) issued by the FDEP has been received. The Company is in the process of assessing certain neighboring properties.properties in regard to the effects, if any, on the environment from the disposal or release of wastes or substances. Management is unable to quantify future rehabilitation costs above present accruals at this time or provide a reasonably estimated range of loss.
Other litigation, claims, disputes and governmental proceedings, including environmental matters, are pending against the Company. Accrued aggregate liabilities related to the matters described above and other litigation matters were $1.2 million and $1.3 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether the amount of an exposure is reasonably estimable. Due to uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company's results of operations in a given period.    
The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability and property damage, including its timber assets.
At JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company was required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $6.7$8.6 million and $6.2 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit of less than $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company had a total of $25.2$14.1 million in contractual obligations, of which $24.8$12.0 million are for the remainder of 2017, and $0.4$2.0 million are for 2018.2018 and $0.1 million are for 2019.
SecurityAs of September 30, 2017, security on the Refinanced Loan includes a remaining short term $1.3 million letter of credit.credit, which was released during October 2017. See Note 9. Debt for a further discussion on the Refinanced Loan.

Business Overview
St. Joe is a real estate development, asset management and operating company with real estate assets currently concentrated primarily between Tallahassee and Destin, Florida. As a real estate development company, St. Joe seeks to enhance the value of our real estate assets by undertaking targeted types of residential and commercial real estate development opportunities. As an asset management company, St. Joe actively manages leasing operations and forestry operations to capture the value of our real estate assets. And asAs an operating company, St. Joe operates some of the finest resorts and leisure operations that Northwest Florida has to offer, including the award-winning WaterColor Inn.
We actively seek higher and better uses for our diverse real estate assets through a wide range of strategic activities from land planning and development, to targeted infrastructure improvements and promoting economic development in the Northwest Florida region. We have significant residential and commercial land-use entitlements in hand or in process related to our land. We may explore the sale of all or portions of these assets opportunistically or when we believe that we can better deploy those resources.
We believe that our present real estate holdings and liquidity position provide us with numerous opportunities to increase recurring revenue and create long-term value for our shareholders by allowing us to focus on our core business activity of real estate development, and asset management including opportunities surrounding the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport and our other real estate holdings in Northwest Florida.resort operations.
Our real estate investment strategy focuses on projects that meet our investment return criteria. The time frame for these expenditures and investments tends to vary based on the type of project. However, our practice is to only incur such expenditures when our analysis indicates that a project will generate a return equal to or greater than the threshold return over its life.
We seek opportunities to invest our funds in ways that could increase our returns. These investments may include longer term commercial or residential real estate or real estate related investments (in which we may play an active or passive role), investments in real estate investment trusts, and other investments in liquid or illiquid securities where we believe we can increase our returns.

Segments
We conduct primarily all of our business in the following five reportable operating segments: (1) residential real estate, (2) commercial real estate, (3) resorts and leisure, (4) leasing operations and (5) forestry.
The following table sets forth the relative contribution of these operating segments to our consolidated operating revenue during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016:

Residential Real Estate
Our residential real estate segment typically plans and develops primary residential and resort residential communities of various sizes, primarily on our existing land. From time to time, our residential real estate segment also evaluates opportunities to maximize value by selling some of our resorts, leisure or operating properties. The following is a description of some of our major residential development communities in Northwest Florida that we are currently in the process of planning or developing. As is true with all of our projects, what residential real estate will actually be developed, including the actual amount of units that we ultimately approve for development in any residential development community, will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meet our investment return criteria, and the availability of capital resources to fund the development.
The Watersound Origins community is a residential community in South Walton County, Florida with direct access to Lake Powell. The project has received government approval for 1,074 single family units with an additional multi-family component. The Watersound Origins community includes a six-hole golf course, which is owned by us and operated by our resorts and leisure segment.
The Breakfast Point community is a residential community in Panama City Beach, Florida. The project has received government approval for 368 single family units.
The SouthWood community is a large scale, mixed use community located in the southeastern section of Tallahassee, Florida. The project has received government approval for 4,770 residential units, including 2,074 single family residences and 2,696 multi-family units. SouthWood also includes a golf clubhouse, 18-hole golf course and a town center with dining, retail shops and offices. The SouthWood Golf Club is operated by our resorts and leisure segment and a portion of the town center is leased and operated by our leasing segment.
We have other residential communities, such as the SummerCamp Beach, RiverCamps, and WindMark Beach and WaterColor communities that have homesites available for sale.sale or development. In addition, we have residential communities, such as the WaterColor, WaterSound Beach and WaterSound West Beach communities that are substantially developed, and the remaining developed and available homesites in these communities are available for sale.
Our residential real estate segment generates revenue primarily from the sale of developed homesites; the sale of parcels of entitled, undeveloped land; a lot residual on homebuilder sales that provides us a percentage of the sale price of the completed home if the home price exceeds a negotiated threshold; the sale of impact fee credits; marketing fees and other fees on certain transactions. The results of our residential real estate revenue may vary from period to period depending on the communities where lots are sold, as prices vary significantly by community.

Our customer base for the sale of developed homesites is primarily focused on homebuilders. Homebuilders generally buy more homesites in a single transaction but tend to buy on a more sporadic basis. As a result, we may experience volatility in the consistency and pace of our residential real estate sales. In addition, the mix of homesites that we currently sell consists mostly of homesites in our primary residential communities, which typically have a lower price and gross margin than homesites in our resort residential communities.
Our residential real estate segment incurs cost of revenue primarily from costs directly associated with the land, development and construction of real estate sold and indirect costs such as development overhead, capitalized interest, marketing, project administration and selling costs.
The Bay-Walton Sector Plan is a long term master plan that includes entitlements, or legal rights, to develop over 170,000 residential units and over 22 million square feet of retail, commercial, and industrial uses on approximately 110,500 acres of our land holdings.  We anticipate a wide range of residential and commercial uses on these land holdings, including some portion of these entitlements serving the active adult retirement market.  We believe that there is a growing retirement demographic and that our development experience and the location, size and contiguous nature of our Florida land holdings provide us with strategic opportunities in this demographic.
Commercial Real Estate
In our commercial real estate segment we plan, develop, entitle, manage and sell our land holdings for a variety of uses including a broad range of retail, office, hotel, multi-family and industrial uses. From time to time, our commercial real estate segment also evaluates opportunities to maximize value by selling some of our resorts, leisure or operating properties.
Our commercial real estate segment generates revenue from the sale of developed and undeveloped land for retail, office, hotel, multi-family and industrial uses, from the sale of undeveloped land or land with limited development and easements and the sale of commercial operating properties. Our commercial real estate segment incurs costs of revenue directly associated with the land, development, construction and selling costs.
As is true with all of our projects, what commercial real estate will actually be developed will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meet our investment return criteria, and the availability of capital resources to fund the development.
Resorts and Leisure
Our resorts and leisure segment features a diverse portfolio of vacation rentals and a hotel, as well as restaurants, golf courses, a beach club, marinas and other related resort amenities.
WaterColor Inn, Vacation Rentals and Other Management Services - Our WaterColor Inn and vacation rentals generate revenue from (1) the WaterColor Inn and Resort and other management services, (2) our management of The Pearl Hotel, (3) our vacation rental business and (4) our restaurants. The WaterColor Inn incurs expenses from the cost of services and goods provided, maintenance of the inn’s facilities, personnel costs and third-party management fees. Revenue generated from our management services of The Pearl Hotel includes a management fee, fifty percent of certain resort fees and a percentage of The Pearl Hotel’s gross operating profit. Expenses include primarily internal administrative costs. Our vacation rental business generates revenue from the rental of private homes and other services, which includes the entire rental fee collected from the customer, including the homeowner’s portion. A percentage of the fee is remitted to the homeowner and presented in the cost of resorts and leisure revenue. The vacation rental business also incurs expenses from holding costs of assets we own and standard lodging personnel, such as front desk, reservations and marketing.Our restaurants generate revenue from food and beverage sales and incur expenses from the cost of services and goods provided and standard restaurant personnel costs.
Clubs - Our club operations include our golf courses, beach club and facilities that generate revenue from membership sales, membership reservations, daily play at our golf courses, merchandise sales and food and beverage sales and incur expenses from the services provided, maintenance of the golf courses, and beach club and facilities, personnel costs and third-party management fees.
St. Joe Club & Resorts is our private membership club that provides members and registered resort guests access to our facilities. The focus is on creating a world class membership experience combined with the aspects of a four star/four diamond resort. We believe that the access to our facilities by registered resort guests allows us to enjoy a competitive advantage in the lodging business.
Marinas - Our marinas generate revenue from boat slip rentals and fuel sales, and incur expenses from cost of services provided, maintenance of the marina facilities, personnel costs and third-party management fees.

Leasing Operations
Our leasing operations generate revenue from leasing retail, office and commercial property, cell towers, and other assets, and incur expenses primarily from maintenance and management of our properties, personnel costs and asset holding costs. Leasing operations include properties located in our Beckrich Office Park, consolidated Pier Park North JV and Windmark JV, as well as our industrial park, VentureCrossings and other properties. The following is a listing of some of our leasing properties:
Pier Park North. Our leasing operations include our Pier Park North JV retail center, which includes approximately 330,000 square feet in Panama City Beach, Florida, of which approximately 10,000 square feet remains to be developed.
VentureCrossings. We built and own a 105,000 square foot building with manufacturing and office space in VentureCrossings and lease the facility under a long-term lease that commenced in 2012. We are currently constructing a new manufacturing facility of approximately 138,000 square feet, for which we plan tohave a long term lease towith GKN Aerospace.
Beckrich Office Park. Leasing properties include two office buildings that were acquired in April 2017. The buildings are located in Panama City Beach, Florida, with over 67,000 net leasable square feet.
Pier Park Crossings. In April 2017, we formed a joint venture to develop, manage and lease apartments in Panama City Beach, Florida. The parties are working together to design, develop and construct a 240 unit multi-family apartment home community to be located on land owned by us in the Pier Park area. We expect construction to begin in the fourthfirst quarter of 2017.2018.
Forestry
Our forestry segment focuses on the management of our timber holdings in Northwest Florida and generates revenue primarily from open market sales of timber on site without the associated delivery costs. Our forestry segment revenue includes the sale of pulpwood, sawtimber and other forest products and incurs costs of revenue from internal costs of forestry management and property taxes.
Our forestry segment may also generate revenue from the sale of our timber holdings, undeveloped land or land with limited development and easements. Costs incurred as part of a sale of these lands may include the cost of timber, land, minimal development costs and selling costs.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience, available current market information 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, and our accounting estimates are subject to change.
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, 2016. There have been no significant changes in these policies during the first sixnine months of 2017, however we cannot assure you that these policies will not change in the future.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for recently issued or adopted accounting standards, including the date of adoption and effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Seasonality
Our business may be affected by seasonal fluctuations. For example, revenue from our resorts and leisure operations are typically higher in the second and third quarters, but can vary depending on the timing of holidays and school breaks, including spring break.
In addition to the seasonality effect described above, our residential real estate business is predominantly sales to homebuilders, who tend to buy multiple lots in sporadic transactions, which impacts the variability in our results of operations. In addition, the results of our residential real estate revenue may vary from period to period depending on the communities where lots are sold, as prices vary significantly by community. Our commercial real estate projects are likewise subject to one-off sales and the development of specific projects depending on demand. These variables have caused, and may continue to cause, our operating results to vary significantly from period to period.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had approximately 671,000 of net rentable square feet of approximately 675,000, of which approximately 561,000574,000 square feet was under lease. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2016, we had approximately 604,000 of net rentable square feet of approximately 624,000, of which approximately 507,000517,000 square feet was under lease.
Other operating expenses include property taxes, insurance, professional fees, marketing, project administration and other administrative expenses. In June of 2016, a settlement of a lease obligation resulted in a payment by the Pier Park North JV entity of $0.4 million. That $0.4 million payment is reflected in other operating expenses for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016.
OtherInterest expense net primarily includes interest expense from the Pier Park North JV Refinanced Loan and the Pier Park outparcel Construction Loan.
During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we capitalized less than $0.1 million of indirect development costs related to our commercial leasing development projects. During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, no indirect development costs related to our commercial leasing development projects were capitalized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $247.2$166.8 million, compared to $241.1 million as of December 31, 2016. Our cash and cash equivalents at JuneSeptember 30, 2017 includes commercial paper of $207.2$141.6 million and $14.4$5.9 million of money market funds. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, we consider our investments classified as available-for-sale securities, as being generally available to meet our liquidity needs. Securities classified as available-for-sale are not as liquid as cash and cash equivalents, but they are generally convertible into cash within a relatively short period of time. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had investments in U.S. Treasury securities of $24.9$10.0 million, corporate debt securities of $96.0$101.5 million and preferred stock investments of $40.3 million and common stock investments of $6.5$33.7 million. As of December 31, 2016, we had investments in corporate debt securities of $139.1 million and preferred stock investments of $36.6 million. See Note 4. Investments, for additional information regarding our investments, including affiliations between our investment advisor, entities we are invested in and members of our board of directors.Board.
We believe that our current cash position and our anticipated cash flows from cash equivalents, short term investments and cash generated from operations will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our anticipated working capital needs, expected capital expenditures, principal and interest payments on our long term debt, and authorized stock repurchases for the next twelve months.
During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we incurred a total of $21.9$34.5 million for capital expenditures, which includes $4.9$7.0 million related to the acquisition and development of our residential and commercial real estate projects, $13.0$22.4 million for our leasing segment, $3.2$4.1 million related to our resorts and leisure segment and $0.8$1.0 million related primarily to our forestry segment and corporate expenditures.
Our remaining expected capital expenditures for 2017 are estimated to be $35.5$16.6 million, which includes $18.1$7.8 million primarily for the development and acquisition of land for our residential and commercial real estate projects, $13.5$7.9 million for our leasing segment, $3.2$0.7 million for our resorts and leisure segment and $0.7$0.2 million for our forestry segment and corporate expenditures. A portion of this spending is discretionary and will only be spent if we believe the risk adjusted return warrants the expenditures.
In October 2015, the Pier Park North JV refinanced its construction loan and entered into a $48.2 million loan. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $47.7$47.5 million and $48.1 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Refinanced Loan. The Refinanced Loan accrues interest at a rate of 4.1% per annum and matures in November 2025. In connection with the Refinanced Loan, we entered into a limited guarantee in favor of the lender, based on our percentage ownership of the joint venture. In addition, the guarantee can become full recourse in the case of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Pier Park North JV; any voluntary transfer or encumbrance of the property in violation of the due-on-sale clause in the security instrument; upon commencement of voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and upon breach of covenants in the security instrument. See Note 8. Real Estate Joint Ventures.
CDD bonds financed the construction of infrastructure improvements in some of our projects. The principal and interest payments on the bonds are paid by assessments on the properties benefited by the improvements financed by the bonds. We have recorded a liability for CDD debt that is associated with platted property, which is the point at which it becomes fixed or determinable. Additionally, we have recorded a liability for the balance of the CDD debt that is associated with unplatted property if it is probable and reasonably estimable that we will ultimately be responsible for repaying. We have recorded CDD related debt of $7.2 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017. Our total outstanding CDD debt was $21.9 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2017, which was comprised of $18.2 million at SouthWood, $2.9 million at the existing Pier Park retail center, $0.7 million at Wild Heron and $0.1 million at Rivercrest.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we repurchased 2,416,089 and 995,650 shares, respectively, of our common stock at an average purchase price of $16.74 and $14.88, per share, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $40.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively, pursuant to our Stock Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2017, we had a total authority of $150.5 million available for purchase of shares of our common stock pursuant to our Stock Repurchase Program. We may repurchase our common stock in open market purchases from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The timing and amount of any additional shares to be repurchased will depend upon a variety of factors, including market and business conditions and other factors. Repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice. The Stock Repurchase Program will continue until otherwise modified or terminated by our Board of Directors at any time in its sole discretion.


On July 7, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized additional repurchases of up to $28.0 million of our shares of common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program. On July 11, 2017, we purchased an additional 1,500,000 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $27.0 million. After giving effect to the repurchase, as of July 31, 2017, we had $150.5 million remaining under the Stock Repurchase Program.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In October 2015, the Pier Park North JV refinanced its construction loan and entered into a $48.2 million loan. TheAs of September 30, 2017 the Refinanced Loan iswas secured by a first lien on, and security interest in, a majority of Pier Park North JV’s property and a remaining short term $1.3 million letter of credit. During October 2017 the letter of credit was released. In connection with the Refinanced Loan, we entered into a limited guarantee and are required to comply with a financial covenant as described in Note 8. Real Estate Joint Ventures.
As part of a timberland sale in 2007 and 2008, we have recorded a retained interest with respect to notes contributed to bankruptcy-remote qualified SPEs of $10.9$11.0 million for all installment notes monetized through JuneSeptember 30, 2017. This balance represents the present value of future cash flows to be received over the life of the installment notes, using management’s best estimates of underlying assumptions, including credit risk and interest rates as of the date of the monetization, plus the accretion of investment income based on an effective yield, which is recognized over the term of the notes, less actual cash receipts.
At JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we were required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $6.7$8.6 million and $6.2 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit of less than $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, which may potentially result in liability to us if certain obligations are not met.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks primarily from interest rate risk fluctuations. We have investments in U.S. Treasury securities, corporate debt securities and certain preferred stock and common stockstocks that have fixed interest rates for which changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the investment, but not the earnings or cash flows. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $4.4$3.6 million in the market value of our available-for-sale securities as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017. Any realized gain or loss resulting from such interest rate changes would only occur if we sold the investments prior to maturity. In addition, our investments in corporate debt securities are non-investment grade, which could affect their fair value and could materially impact our results of operations if a decline in their value is determined to be other-than-temporary.
Our cash and cash equivalents are invested in commercial paper and money market instruments. Changes in interest rates related to these investments would not significantly impact our results of operations. The amount of interest earned on one of our retained interest investments is based on LIBOR. A 100 basis point change in the interest rate may result in an insignificant change in interest earned on the investment.
The amount of interest expense on our Construction Loan is based on LIBOR. A 100 basis point change in the interest rate may result in an insignificant change in interest expense.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.        Legal Proceedings
We are subject to a variety of litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, none of which we believe will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
In addition, we are subject to 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. Refer to Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies, for further discussion.
