Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation
Our
The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Forestar Group Inc., (Forestar) and all of its 100% owned, majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, ventures and other entities in which we have a controlling interest. We accountare collectively referred to as the Company unless the context otherwise requires. The Company accounts for ourits investment in other entities in which we haveit has significant influence over operations and financial policies using the equity method. We eliminate all materialAll intercompany accounts, transactions and transactions.balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Noncontrolling interests in consolidated pass-through entities are recognized before income taxes. The transactions included in net income in the consolidated statements of operations are the same as those that would be presented in comprehensive income. Thus, the Company's net income equates to comprehensive income.
We prepare our unaudited interim
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and Securities and Exchange Commission requirementsGenerally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial statements. As a result, theyinformation and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. These financial statements, including the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, which was derived from audited financial statements, do not include all of the information and disclosuresnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However,statements and should be read in our opinion, all adjustmentsconjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.

In October 2017, Forestar became a majority-owned subsidiary of D.R. Horton, Inc. (D.R. Horton) by virtue of a merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary of D.R. Horton. Immediately following the merger, D.R. Horton owned 75% of the Company's outstanding common stock. In connection with the merger, the Company entered into certain agreements with D.R. Horton including a Stockholder’s Agreement, a Master Supply Agreement, and a Shared Services Agreement. D.R. Horton is considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Such adjustments consist onlyrelated party of normal recurring items unless otherwise noted. WeForestar under GAAP. At December 31, 2021, D.R. Horton owned approximately 63% of the Company's outstanding common stock.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions about future events.affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results can, and probably will,could differ materially from those weestimates.

Changes in Presentation and Reclassifications

The Company reclassified the change in accrued development costs from the change in accounts payable and other liabilities to the change in accrued development costs in the prior year statement of cash flows to conform to the current year presentation. This reclassification had no net effect on the Company's consolidated operating results, financial position or cash flows.

Pending Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform,” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance was effective beginning March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform - Scope,” which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. The Company will adopt these standards when LIBOR is discontinued and does not expect such standards to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Table of Contents
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which requires application of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805 and will result in recognition of contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2023 and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently estimate including those principallyevaluating the impact of this guidance, and it is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


Note 2—Segment Information

The Company manages its operations through its real estate segment which is its core business and generates substantially all of its revenues. The real estate segment primarily acquires land and develops infrastructure for single-family residential communities, and its revenues generally come from sales of residential single-family finished lots to local, regional and national homebuilders. The Company has other business activities for which the related to allocating costs toassets and operating results are immaterial, and therefore are included within the Company's real estate segment.

As a result of this significant change in our operations, we have reported the results of operations and financial position of these assets as discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) and consolidated balance sheetsprocess, there were no real estate impairment charges recorded for all periods presented.
Note 2—New and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, as part of its simplification initiative. The areas for simplification in this update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2016. Effective first quarter 2017, stock-based compensation (SBC) excess tax benefits or deficiencies are reflectedperiod presented in the consolidated statements of income (loss)operations.

In the three months ended December 31, 2021 and comprehensive income (loss)2020, earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs related to land purchase contracts that the Company has terminated or expects to terminate were $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. These land option charges are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations.

Bank Credit Facility

The Company has a $410 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $600 million, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The maturity date of the facility is April 16, 2025. The facility also provides for income taxes, whereas they previouslythe issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to the greater of $100 million and 50% of the revolving credit commitment. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base calculation based on the book value of the Company's real estate assets and unrestricted cash. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. There were recognizedno borrowings or repayments under the facility in equitythe three months ended December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding and $66.3 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $343.7 million.

The revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity, and a maximum allowable leverage ratio. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. At December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility.

Senior Notes

The Company has outstanding senior notes as described below that were issued pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The notes represent senior unsecured obligations that rank equally in right of payment to all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and may be redeemed prior to maturity, subject to certain limitations and premiums defined in the indenture agreements. The notes are guaranteed by each of the Company's subsidiaries to the extent such subsidiaries guarantee the Company's revolving credit facility.

On or after May 15, 2023, the 2026 notes may be redeemed at 101.925% of their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In accordance with the indenture, the redemption price decreases annually thereafter and the 2026 notes can be redeemed at par on or after May 15, 2025 through maturity. The annual effective interest rate of the 2026 notes after giving effect to the amortization of financing costs is 4.1%.

The Company's $300 million principal amount of 5.0% senior notes (the "2028 notes") mature March 1, 2028 with interest payable semi-annually.

The indentures governing the senior notes require that, upon the occurrence of both a change of control and a rating decline (each as defined in the respective indenture), the Company offer to purchase the notes at 101% of their principal amount. If the Company or its restricted subsidiaries dispose of assets, under certain circumstances, the Company will be required to either invest the net cash proceeds from such asset sales in its business within a specified period of time, repay certain senior secured debt or debt of its non-guarantor subsidiaries, or make an offer to purchase a principal amount of the notes equal to the excess net cash proceeds at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount. The indentures contain covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or distributions, repurchase equity, prepay subordinated debt and make certain investments; incur additional paid-in capital pooldebt or issue mandatorily redeemable equity; incur liens on assets; merge or consolidate with another company or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; and allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments. At December 31, 2021, the Company was available. Additionally, ourin compliance with all of the limitations and restrictions associated with its senior note obligations.

Effective April 30, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30 million of the Company’s debt securities. The authorization has no expiration date. All of the $30 million authorization was remaining at December 31, 2021.

Other Note Payable

The Company's other note payable of $12.5 million was issued as part of a transaction to acquire real estate for development. The note is non-recourse and is secured by the underlying real estate, accrues interest at 4.0% per annum and matures in October 2023.

Note 9—Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $13.0 million and $7.1 million, respectively, and the effective tax rate was 24.3% in both periods. The effective tax rate for both periods includes an expense for state income taxes and nondeductible expenses and a benefit related to noncontrolling interests.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had deferred tax liabilities, net of deferred tax assets, of $23.0 million. The deferred tax assets were partially offset by a valuation allowance of $1.2 million, resulting in a net deferred tax liability of $24.2 million. At September 30, 2021, deferred tax liabilities, net of deferred tax assets, were $23.2 million. The deferred tax assets were partially offset by a valuation allowance of $1.2 million, resulting in a net deferred tax liability of $24.4 million. The valuation allowance for both periods was recorded because it is more likely than not that a portion of the Company's state deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards, will not be realized because the Company is no longer operating in some states or the NOL carryforward periods are too brief to realize the related deferred tax asset. The Company will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. Any reversal of the valuation allowance in future periods will impact the effective tax rate.

Note 10—Stockholders' Equity and Stock-Based Compensation

Stockholders' Equity

The Company has an effective shelf registration statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in October 2021, registering $750 million of equity securities, of which $300 million was reserved for sales under its at-the-market equity offering program that became effective in November 2021. In the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued 84,547 shares of common stock under its at-the-market equity offering program for proceeds of $1.7 million, net of commissions and other issuance costs totaling $0.1 million. At December 31, 2021, $748.2 million remained available for issuance under the shelf registration statement, of which $298.2 million was reserved for sales under the at-the-market equity offering program.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

The Company’s Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of stock options and restricted stock units to executive officers, other key employees and non-management directors. Restricted stock unit awards may be based on performance (performance-based) or on service over a requisite time period (time-based). RSU equity awards represent the contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per RSU if the vesting conditions and/or performance criteria are satisfied. The RSUs have no voting rights until vested.

There were no new grants of time-based RSUs in the three months ended December 31, 2021. Total stock-based compensation expense related to the Company's restricted stock units for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.


Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In support of the Company's residential lot development business, it issues letters of credit under the revolving credit facility and has a surety bond program that provides financial assurance to beneficiaries related to the execution and performance of certain development obligations. At December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $66.3 million under the revolving credit facility and surety bonds of $528.2 million issued by third parties to secure performance under various contracts. The Company expects that its performance obligations secured by these letters of credit and bonds will generally be completed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. When the Company completes its performance obligations, the related letters of credit and bonds are generally released shortly thereafter, leaving the Company with no continuing obligations. The Company has no material third-party guarantees.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business and believes that adequate reserves have been established for any probable losses. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings will have a significant adverse effect on its financial position, long-term results of operations or cash flows. It is possible, however, that charges related to these matters could be significant to the Company's results or cash flows in any one accounting period.

Horton on behalf of the adoptionCompany.

Under the terms of ASU 2016-09 in first ninethe Master Supply Agreement with D.R. Horton, both companies identify land development opportunities to expand the Company's portfolio of assets. At December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the Company owned approximately 65,700 and 64,400 residential lots, of which D.R. Horton had the following involvement.

Pending Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of$404.1 million and $307.0 million. Lot sales and lot sales revenue to which it expectsD.R. Horton in those periods were as follows.

In addition, the net impact of the change in contract liabilities increased revenues on lot sales to be entitledD.R. Horton by $2.1 million and $0.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

In the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company reimbursed D.R. Horton approximately $2.7 million and $16.1 million for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effectivepreviously paid earnest money and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The updated standard becomes effective$21.6 million and $20.9 million for annualpre-acquisition and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). We anticipate adopting the standard using the cumulative catch-up transition method. We have reached conclusions on our key accounting assessmentsother due diligence and development costs related to land purchase contracts whereby D.R. Horton assigned its rights under these land purchase contracts to the standardCompany.

In the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company paid D.R. Horton $0.9 million and $1.7 million for land development services. These amounts are finalizing our accounting policies. Based on our initial assessment, we believe the timingincluded in cost of revenue recognition for our primary revenue stream, residential lot and tract sales will not materially change. We are still finalizing our accounting policies and assessing disclosure requirements. Upon adopting FASB ASC Topic 606, we will provide additional disclosures in the notesCompany’s consolidated statements of operations.

At December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, undeveloped land primarily consists of undeveloped land which the Company has the contractual right to our consolidated financial statements. Duesell to D.R. Horton at a sales price equal to the complexitycarrying value of certain of our real estate sale transactions, the revenue recognition treatment required under the standard will be dependent on contract-specific terms, and may vary in limited circumstances from recognitionland at the time of the sale closing.plus additional consideration of 12% to 16% per annum.

At December 31, 2021 and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assetsSeptember 30, 2021, accrued expenses and leaseother liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The updated standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods

beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2020 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our earnings, financial position and disclosures.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), in order to address eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The updated standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of the updated standard, but we do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). This ASU requires that a statement of cash flow explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash investments. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 will modify our current disclosures and reclassifications relating to the consolidated statements of cash flows, but we do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), in order to provide guidance about which changes to terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The updated standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our earnings, financial position and disclosures, but we do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 4—Held for Sale
In first quarter 2017, we sold all of our remaining owned mineral assets for approximately $85,700,000. We generated $82,422,000 in total gains related to the sale of our mineral assets in first nine months 2017 of which $8,200,000 was recognized in third quarter 2017 as a result of the expiration of a title review period.
In second quarter 2017, we sold approximately 19,000 acres of timberland and undeveloped land in Georgia and Texas for $46,197,000 in three transactions generating combined net proceeds of $45,396,000.

At third quarter-end 2017, our inception-to-date submitted reimbursements for the Cibolo Canyons project were $56,750,000, of which $52,337,000 have been approved, and we have collected $46,567,000. These costs are principally for water, sewer and other infrastructure assets that we have incurred and submitted or will submit to utility or improvement districts for approval and reimbursement. We expect to be reimbursed by utility and improvement districts when these districts achieve adequate tax basis or otherwise have funds available to support payment.
Note 6—Investment in Unconsolidated Ventures
We participate in real estate ventures for the purpose of acquiring and developing residential, multifamily and mixed-use communities in which we may or may not have a controlling financial interest. U.S. GAAP requires consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (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 the VIE losses and right to receive benefits that are significant to the VIE. We examine specific criteria and use judgment when determining whether a venture is a VIE and whether we are the primary beneficiary and must consolidate a VIE. We perform this review initially at the time we enter into venture agreements and reassess upon reconsideration events.

At third quarter-end2017, we had ownership interests in 15 ventures that we accounted for using the equity method, none of which are a VIE.

(a)
Total includes current maturities of $86,206,000 at third quarter-end 2017, of which $81,531,000 is non-recourse to us, and $89,756,000 at year-end 2016, of which $78,557,000 is non-recourse to us.
(b)
Includes unamortized deferred gains on real estate we contributed to ventures. We recognize deferred gains as income as the real estate is sold to third parties. Deferred gains of $1,372,000 are reflected as a reduction to our investment in unconsolidated ventures at third quarter-end 2017.
(c)
Includes unrecognized basis difference of $496,000 which is reflected as an increase of our investment in unconsolidated ventures at third quarter-end 2017. The difference will be amortized as expense over the life of the investment and included in our share of earnings (loss) from the respective venture.
In first nine months 2017, we invested $4,462,000 in these ventures and received $19,197,000 in distributions. In first nine months 2016, we invested $5,615,000 in these ventures and received $8,741,000 in distributions. Distributions include both return of investments and distribution of earnings.
The increase in our share of earnings from our unconsolidated ventures in first nine months 2017 compared with first nine months 2016 is primarily due to higher lot sale activity and earnings from LM Land Holdings, LP which benefited from the sale of 42 commercial acres for $13,600,000 generating venture earnings of $10,683,000, of which $6,321,000 was deferred and will be recognized as development is completed. Based on our 37.5% interest in this venture, our pro-rata share of the earnings associated with this sale was $1,636,000 and our pro-rata share of the distributable cash was $4,411,000. Venture earnings from 242, LLC also benefited from the sale of 46 commercial acres for $9,719,000 generating $6,612,000 in earnings to the venture. Based on our 50% interest in the venture, our pro-rata share of the earnings associated with this sale was $3,306,000 and our pro-rata share of the total distributable cash was $4,348,000. CL Realty, LLC, a venture in which we own a 50% interest, sold certain mineral assets to us for $2,400,000. Subsequent to closing of this transaction, we received $1,200,000 from the venture, representing our pro-rata share of distributable cash.
In first quarter 2016, we sold our interest in FMF Peakview LLC (3600), a 304-unit multifamily joint venture project near Denver, generating $13,167,000 in net proceeds and we recognized a gain of $10,363,000 which is included in gain on sale of assets.

Goodwill$
 $37,900
Goodwill related to our owned mineral assets was $0 at third quarter-end 2017 and $37,900,000 at year-end 2016. In first nine months 2017, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $37,900,000 related to goodwill attributable to our mineral resources reporting unit. This impairment was a result of selling our remaining owned mineral assets for approximately $85,700,000 in first quarter 2017. Impairment charge is included in cost of mineral resources on our consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).
Note 8—Discontinued Operations
At year-end 2016, we had divested of substantially all of our oil and gas working interest properties. As a result of this significant change in our operations, we have reported the results of operations and financial position of these assets as discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) and consolidated balance sheets included $7.7 million and $6.7 million, respectively, owed to D.R. Horton for all periods presented.any accrued and unpaid shared service charges, land purchase contract deposits and due diligence and other development cost reimbursements.

In first nine months 2017, other operating expenses include a benefitTable of $1,043,000 due to a reduction of an accrual resulting from a change in estimate related to potential environmental liabilities to plug and abandon certain oil and gas wells in Wyoming. Other operating expenses in third quarter 2016 include loss contingency charges of $1,100,000 related to litigation and $1,155,000 related to potential environmental liabilities to plug and abandon certain oil and gas wells in Wyoming.Contents
On September 22, 2017, in accordance with our previously announced initiative to sell non-core assets, we sold the common stock of Forestar Petroleum Corporation for $100,000. With the completion of this transaction we have now sold all of our oil and gas assets and related entities. This transaction resulted in a significant tax loss. The corresponding tax benefit is reported in discontinued operations as a discrete event in third quarter 2017.
In first nine months 2016, we recorded a net loss of $13,618,000 on the sale of nearly 199,263 net mineral acres leased from others and 379 gross (95 net) producing oil and gas working interest wells in Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and North Dakota for total sales proceeds of $80,084,000, which includes $3,269,000 in reimbursement of capital costs incurred on in-progress wells that were assumed by the buyer. A significant portion of the net loss on sale, $7,244,000, is related to write-off of allocated goodwill to sold producing oil and gas properties.

At third quarter-end 2017, our senior secured credit facility provided a line of credit commitment of $50,000,000, none of which was drawn, and included a $50,000,000 sublimit for letters of credit, of which $14,267,000 was outstanding. Total borrowings under our senior secured credit facility (including the face amount of letters of credit) were limited by a borrowing base formula. At third quarter-end2017, we had $14,810,000 in net unused borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility.
At third quarter-end 2017, the proposed Merger was expected to constitute a “fundamental change” under our 3.75% convertible senior notes, which would provide holders with the right to convert their notes or sell their notes to us at par, subject to certain conditions.
Please see Note 19—Subsequent Events for information regarding consummation of the merger with D.R. Horton and related matters, including (a) termination of our senior secured credit facility, (b) entry into a new letter of credit facility, (c) entry into a supplemental indenture in regard to our 3.75% convertible senior notes due 2020, and (d) redemption of the 8.50% senior secured notes due 2022.
At third quarter-end 2017 and year-end 2016, we had $1,273,000 and $1,633,000 in unamortized deferred financing fees which were deducted from our debt. In addition, at third quarter-end 2017 and year-end 2016, unamortized deferred financing fees related to our senior secured credit facility included in other assets were $91,000 and $314,000. Amortization of deferred financing fees were $731,000 and $3,253,000 in first nine months 2017 and 2016 and were included in interest expense.
Note 12—13—Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the exchange price that would be the amount received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In arriving at a fair value measurement, we usethe Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable. The three levels of inputs used to establish fair value are the following:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.


Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis principally include real estate assets, oil and gas properties, assets held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets, which are measured for impairment.
In first nine months 2017, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $37,900,000 related to goodwill attributable to our mineral resources reporting unit. The impairment was a result of selling all of our remaining owned mineral assets in first quarter 2017 for approximately $85,700,000.
WeCompany elected not to use the fair value option for cash and cash equivalents accounts receivable, other currentand debt.

For the financial assets variable debt, accounts payable and other current liabilities.liabilities that the Company does not reflect at fair value, the following tables present both their respective carrying value and fair value at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021.

Note 13—Capital Stock
Pursuant to our tax benefits preservation plan ("Plan") adopted January 5, 2017, as amended on April 13, 2017 and June 29, 2017, each share of common stock outstanding at third quarter-end 2017 is coupled with one preferred stock purchase right ("Right"). Each Right entitles our stockholders to purchase, under certain conditions, one one-thousandth of a share ("Unit") of newly issued Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $50 per Unit, subject to adjustment. Rights will be exercisable only if someone becomes a five-percent stockholder after adoption of the Plan without meeting certain customary exceptions. Stockholders owning five percent or more of our outstanding stock at the time of adoption of the Plan are grandfathered and will cause Rights to be distributed and become exercisable only if they acquire an additional one percent of our outstanding shares. Our board of directors has the discretion to exempt certain transactions and persons from the coverage of the Plan, and the Plan has been amended to exempt the Merger Agreement from the coverage of the Plan.
Please see Note 19—Subsequent Events for information regarding expiration of the Plan.
Note 14—Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed using the treasury stock method for third quarter and first nine months 2017 and the two-class method for third quarter and first nine months 2016. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating security. We previously determined that our 6.00% tangible equity units issued in 2013 were participating securities. In December 2016, we issued 7,857,000 shares of our common stock upon the mandatory settlement of the stock purchase contract related to the 6.00% tangible equity units. Per share amounts are computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. In periods with a net loss, no such adjustment is made to earnings as the holders of the participating securities have no obligation to fund losses.













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

We intend to settle the remaining principal amount of our 3.75% convertible senior notes due in 2020 (Convertible Notes) in cash upon conversion with only the amount in excess of par value of the Convertible Notes to be settled in shares of our common stock. Therefore, our calculation of diluted net income per share includes only the amount, if any, in excess of par value of the Convertible Notes. As such, the Convertible Notes have no impact on diluted net income per share until the price of our common stock exceeds the $24.49 conversion price of the Convertible Notes. The average price of our common stock in third quarter2017 did not exceed the conversion price which resulted in no additional diluted outstanding shares.
Note 15—Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 39 percent in third quarter 2017 and 53 percent for first nine months 2017. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations for first nine months 2017 exceeded the statutory rate due to a change in our valuation allowance due to current year transaction costs (termination fee and other costs) associated with our Merger. In addition, our effective tax rate from continuing operations for first nine months 2017 exceeded the statutory rate due to goodwill impairment associated with our first quarter 2017 sale of owned mineral assets and a benefit from a valuation allowance decrease due to net decreases in our deferred tax assets.
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was a tax benefit of 124 percent in third quarter 2016 and a tax expense of 18 percent for first nine months 2016. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations for first nine months 2016 of 18 percent differs from the statutory rate of 35 percentnon-recurring basis primarily due to a benefit from decrease in our valuation allowance related to decrease in our deferred tax assets. In addition, 2017 and 2016 effective tax rates from continuing operations include the effect of state income taxes, nondeductible items and benefits of percentage depletion.
At third quarter-end 2017 and year-end 2016, we have a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets of $66,461,000 and $73,405,000 for the portion of the deferred tax assets that we have determined is more likely than not to be unrealizable under U.S. GAAP.
In determining our valuation allowance, we assessed available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets under U.S. GAAP. A significant piece of objective evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended September 30, 2017, principally driven by impairments of oil and gas and real estate properties in prior years. Such evidence limits our ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our projected future taxable income.

The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted if negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence, such as our projected future taxable income.
Our unrecognized tax benefits totaled approximately $442,000 at third quarter-end 2017, all of which would affect our effective tax rate, if recognized.

Note 16—Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
We are involved in various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business, and we believe that adequate reserves have been established for any probable losses. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings should have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, long-term results of operations or cash flows. However, it is possible that charges related to these matters could be significant to our results or cash flows in any one accounting period.
Environmental
Environmental remediation liabilities arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business, and we believe we have established adequate reserves for any probable losses that can be reasonably estimated. With the sale of our remaining oil and gas entities in third quarter 2017 we no longer have asset retirement obligations related to the abandonment and site restoration requirements that result from the acquisition, construction and development of oil and gas properties. Prior to the sale, we recorded the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Accretion expense related to the asset retirement obligation and depletion expense related to capitalized asset retirement cost is included in cost of oil and gas producing activities of discontinued operations. At third quarter-end 2017 and year-end 2016, our estimated asset retirement obligation was $0 and $1,258,000, of which $0 and $1,155,000 is included in liabilities of discontinued operations and the remaining balance at year-end 2016 was in liabilities held for sale. In first nine months 2017, we reduced our accrual related to potential environmental liabilities to plug and abandon certain oil and gas wells in Wyoming by $1,043,000 due to a change in estimate of our potential exposure. In connection with our sale of the stock of Forestar Petroleum on September 22, 2017, the buyer assumed substantially all liabilities of Forestar Petroleum including the obligation to plug and abandon certain oil and gas wells in Wyoming.

Note 19—Subsequent Events

Completion of Merger

On June 29, 2017, we entered into the Merger Agreement with D.R. Horton and Force Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of D.R. Horton. At the effective time on October 5, 2017, we merged with Merger Sub and we continued as the surviving entity in the Merger. In the Merger, each existing share of our common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (the “Former Forestar Common Stock”) (except for shares of our common stock that were held by us as treasury shares or by us or D.R. Horton or our or their respective subsidiaries) were converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holders of such shares of Former Forestar Common Stock, either an amount in cash equal to the Cash Consideration ($17.75 per share) or one new share of our common stock (the “New Forestar Common Stock”), subject to proration procedures applicable to oversubscription and undersubscription for the Cash Consideration described in the Merger Agreement. The aggregate amount of Cash Consideration paid by D.R. Horton to holders of Former Forestar Common Stock in the Merger was $558,256,000. In the Merger, 10,487,873 shares of New Forestar Common Stock (representing 25% of the outstanding shares of New Forestar Common Stock immediately after the effective time) were issued to the holders of our common stock and 31,451,063 shares of New Forestar Common Stock (representing 75% of the outstanding share of the New Forestar Common Stock immediately after the effective time) were issued to D.R. Horton.
Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time, each equity award made or otherwise denominated in shares of Former Forestar Common Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective time under our equity compensation plans was cancelled and of no further force or effect as of the effective time. In exchange for the cancellation of the equity awards, each holder of such an equity award received from us the Cash Consideration for each share of Former Forestar Common Stock underlying such equity award (and in the case of equity awards that were stock options or stock appreciation rights, less the applicable exercise or strike price, but not less than $0), whether or not otherwise vested as of the effective time. With respect to any of our market-leveraged stock units, the number of shares of Former Forestar Common Stock subject to such equity awards were determined pursuant to the terms set forth in the applicable award agreements and based on a per share value equal to $17.75. 
We paid our financial advisor a transaction fee of $5,595,000 which was expensed upon closing of the Merger. New Forestar Common Stock continues to be listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol, “FOR.”
As of October 5, 2017, we are a majority-owned subsidiary of D.R. Horton, the largest homebuilder by volume in the United States for fifteen consecutive years. We are evaluating the impact of any potential changes in our accounting policies and related party transactions with D.R. Horton post merger and will update our disclosures accordingly in future periods. The merger will be accounted for under the acquisition method in accordance with U.S. GAAP. D.R. Horton is the acquirer for accounting purposes and our consolidated financial statements will continue to be stated at historical cost.

Letter of Credit Facility
On October 5, 2017, we entered into a Letter of Credit Facility Agreement (the “LC Facility Agreement”) providing for a $30,000,000 secured standby letter of credit facility (the “LC Facility”) with Keybank National Association and other lenders party thereto, as banks, Keybank National Association, as letter of credit issuer and administrative agent, and Keybanc Capital Markets, as sole arranger and sole bookrunner.
The LC Facility is secured by $30,000,000 in cash deposited with the administrative agent. We are required to pay a letter of credit fee of 1.25% per annum on the outstanding face amount of the letters of credit issued under the LC Facility, as well as other customary fees and expenses. We also are required to pay an unused facility fee of 0.15% per annum, in each case on the daily amount by which the aggregate commitments exceed the sumcompany reviews for indicators of the outstanding letterspotential impairment and performs impairment evaluations when necessary.

Table of credit during each fiscal quarter or portion thereof.Contents
The LC Facility Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and other undertakings. The LC Facility Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs, all or a portion of the commitments under the LC Facility may be terminated and/or other rights held by the banks under any of the related facility documents (including against the collateral) may be exercised, subject to certain limitations.

Termination of Senior Credit Facility

On October 5, 2017, in connection with entry into the LC Facility, we terminated our existing senior credit facility (the “Prior Credit Facility”). The Prior Credit Facility provided for a $50,000,000 revolving line of credit that was scheduled to mature on May 15, 2018. This Prior Credit Facility could be prepaid at any time without penalty and included a $50,000,000

sublimit for letters of credit, of which $14,267,000 were outstanding at the time of termination and were transferred to the new LC Facility.

3.75% Convertible Senior Notes

On October 5, 2017, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, we entered into a Third Supplemental Indenture (together with the base indenture and the prior supplemental indentures, the "Indenture") to the Indenture relating to our 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Convertible Notes”).
Pursuant to the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Convertible Notes are no longer convertible into shares of Former Forestar Common Stock and instead are convertible into cash and shares of New Forestar Common Stock based on the per-share weighted average of the cash and shares of New Forestar Common Stock received by our stockholders that affirmatively made an election in connection with the Merger. As a result of such elections, for each share of Former Forestar Common Stock a holder of Convertible Notes was previously entitled to receive upon conversion of Convertible Notes, such holder is instead entitled to receive $14.19785 in cash and 0.20012 of a share of New Forestar Common Stock.

The completion of the Merger constituted a Fundamental Change, as defined in the Indenture. On October 12, 2017, in accordance with the Indenture, we gave notice of the Fundamental Change to holders of the Convertible Notes and made an offer to purchase (a “Fundamental Change Offer”) all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of every holder’s Convertible Notes pursuant to the Fundamental Change Offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture. In the Fundamental Change Offer, we offered to repurchase the Convertible Notes for a price in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

Expiration of Tax Benefits Preservation Plan
On October 5, 2017 immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, our Tax Benefit Preservation Plan expired pursuant to its terms and all Rights previously distributed to the holders of our common stock pursuant to the Plan expired.

8.50% Senior Secured Notes

On October 30, 2017 (the “Redemption Date”), we redeemed the remaining $5,315,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 8.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”). Pursuant to the indenture governing the Notes, the Notes were redeemed for $5,928,063, which was the sum of (a) the present value of 104.250% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and the scheduled payments of interest thereon through June 1, 2018 discounted as set forth in such indenture to the Redemption Date, plus (b) accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the Redemption Date.

Key Initiatives

For the past two years we haveoperations. Our strategy is focused on our key initiatives to reduce costs across our entire organization, review our portfolio of assetsmaking investments in land acquisition and complete non-core asset sales and review our capital structure to allocate capital to maximize shareholder value. The merger with D.R Horton provides us an opportunity to substantially grow our core community development business in the future by establishing a strategic relationship to supply finished lots to D. R. Horton at market prices under a master supply agreement. Under the terms of the master supply agreement, both companies will proactively identify land development opportunities to expand our portfolio of assets.
Discontinued Operations
At year-end 2016, we had divested of substantially all of our oilresidential lot development business across a geographically diversified national platform and gas working interest properties. As a result of this significant changeconsolidating market share in our operations, we have reported the results of operations and financial position of these assets as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The discussion of our results of operations is based on the results from our continuing operations unless otherwise indicated.
On September 22, 2017,fragmented U.S. lot development industry. We are primarily investing in accordance with our previously announced initiative to sell non-core assets, we sold the common stock of Forestar Petroleum Corporation for $100,000. With the completion of this transaction we have now sold all of our oil and gas assets and related entities. This transaction resulted in a significant tax loss. The corresponding tax benefit is reported in discontinued operations as a discrete event in third quarter 2017.

Significant aspects of our results of operations follow:
Third Quarter and First Nine Months 2017
Third quarter 2017, real estate segment earnings decreased compared with third quarter 2016 due to $12,810,000 in segment earnings from retail land sales, partially offset by non-cash impairment charges of $7,627,000 in third quarter 2016. First nine months 2017, real estate segment earnings decreased compared with first nine months 2016 primarily due to gains of $121,732,000 in 2016 as a result of executing our key initiative to opportunistically sell non-core assets. In addition, we generated segment earnings of $27,688,000 in first nine months 2016 from retail land sales. These items were partially offset by non-cash impairment charges of $56,453,000 related to six non-core communityshort duration, phased development projects that generate returns similar to production-oriented homebuilders. This strategy is a unique, lower-risk business model that we expect will produce more consistent returns than other public and two multifamily sitesprivate land developers. We also make strategic short-term investments in first nine months 2016. Segment earnings in 2017 reflect higher equity in earnings of unconsolidated ventures as a result of an increase in commercial tract and residential lot sales within these ventures in first nine months 2017 compared with first nine months 2016. We had no retail land sales in third quarter or first nine months 2017.
In first quarter 2017, we sold all of our remaining owned mineral assets for approximately $85,700,000. We generated $82,422,000 in gains related to the sale of our mineral assets in first nine months 2017 of which $8,200,000 was recognized in third quarter 2017 as a result of the expiration of a title review period. In addition, as a result of selling our remaining mineral assets in first quarter 2017, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $37,900,000 in first nine months 2017 related to the mineral resources reporting unit goodwill.
First nine months 2017 general and administrative expense increased compared to first nine months 2016 primarily due to a merger agreement termination fee of $20,000,000 and $5,624,000 in professional fees and other costs incurred associated with proposed merger transactions.
Third quarter and first nine months 2017 gain on sale of assets increased compared to third quarter and first nine months 2016 due to the sale of approximately 19,000 acres of timberlandfinished lots (lot banking) and undeveloped land with the intent to sell these assets within a short time period, primarily to D.R. Horton, utilizing available capital prior to its deployment into longer term lot development projects.

COVID-19

During 2020, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted economic activity and temporarily affected our business operations and the demand for our residential lots. As economic activity resumed, housing market conditions and demand for residential lots improved and has remained strong throughout fiscal 2021 and into fiscal 2022. However, multiple disruptions in Georgia and Texasthe supply chain, combined with the strong demand for $46,197,000residential lots, have resulted in three transactions generating combined proceeds of $45,396,000.shortages in certain construction materials, which, together with tightness in the labor market, has caused our development cycles to lengthen in certain markets. We generated combined gains of $28,674,000 in first nine months 2017 of which $625,000 was recognized in third quarter 2017 upon receipt of certain regulatory approvals and release of funds from escrow.

Third quarter and first nine months 2017 interest expense decreased primarily duebelieve we are well-positioned to reducing our debt outstanding by $277,790,000 in 2016.
Loss on extinguishment of debt in first nine months 2016 represents the cash tender offereffectively operate through changing economic conditions because of our 8.5% senior secured noteslow net leverage and other open market purchases of debt securities.strong liquidity position, our low overhead model and our strategic relationship with D.R.

Sales of new U.S. single-family homes in September 2017, according to a joint release by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 667,000 units, representing the highest reading since October 2007.  The reading registered 18.9% above the revised August rate of 561,000 and 17% above the September 2016 rate.  The report reflected strength in new residential home sales in all regions of the country, with particular strength reported in the South.  The U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development jointly announced that housing starts for September 2017 registered a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,127,000 units, representing a 4.7% drop from the August estimate of 1,183,000 units but 6.1% above prior year.  The housing start decrease during the period was partially attributed to hurricanes disrupting construction activity in the South.  Single-family permits, generally viewed as a precursor to housing starts, registered 1,215,000 in September 2017, reflecting a 4.5% decrease from the revised August rate of 1,272,000 and a 4.3% decrease from prior year.  Homebuilder confidence, as measured by the National Association of Homebuilders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index, declined three points in September to a reading of 64  from a downwardly revised reading of 67 in August.  The decline reflected builders’ concerns about near term labor availability and increases in building material costs in certain markets due to the recent hurricane activity.  On a regional basis, the three month moving averages for builders’ confidence registered the highest in the West followed by the South.  The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller National Index, which measures home price appreciation for the entire nation, reflected continued price appreciation across the country. On a year over year basis, the S&P Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price NSA Index, which covers all nine U.S. Census divisions, reported a 5.9% annual gain in July, up from 5.8% in the previous month.  In the 20-City Composite, Seattle, Portland and Las Vegas reported the highest year over year gains with twelve cities within the Composite reporting greater price increases in the year ending July 2017 versus the year ending June 2017.

Business SegmentsSegment

We manage our operations through three business segments:
Real estate;
Mineral resources; and
Other
We evaluate performance based on segment earnings (loss) before unallocated items and income taxes. Segment earnings (loss) consist of operating income, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated ventures, gain on sales of assets, interest income on loans secured by real estate and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Items not allocated to our business segments consist of general and administrative expense, share-based and long-term incentive compensation, gain on sale of strategic timberland and undeveloped land, interest expense and other corporate non-operating income and expense. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the accounting policy note to the consolidated financial statements.
Our operations are affected to varying degrees by supply and demand factors and economic conditions including changes in interest rates, availability of mortgage credit, consumer and home builder sentiment, new housing starts, real estate values, employment levels, and the overall strength or weakness of the U.S. economy.
Real Estate
We own directly or through ventures interests in 44 residential and mixed-use projects comprised of approximately 4,000 acres of real estate located in 10 states and 14 markets. Our real estate segment, secures entitlementswhich is our core business and generates substantially all of our revenues. The real estate segment primarily acquires land and develops infrastructure on our lands, primarily for single-family residential communities and mixed-use communities. We own and manage our projects either directly or through ventures. Our real estate segmentgenerates revenues are principally derived from the sales of residential single-family lots and tracts, undeveloped land and commercial real estate.

The commercial real estate revenues in third quarter and first nine months 2016 relate primarily to the sale of 108 acres from our San Joaquin River project in Antioch, California for $7,000,000 which provided approximately $37,400,000 in income tax losses to offset tax gains.
We did not sell any retail land in third quarter or first nine months 2017. In third quarter 2016,ended December 31, 2021, we sold approximately 6,500 acres of retail land502 residential lots to customers other than D.R.

Commercial and income producing properties revenue includes revenues from hotel room
Tract sales and other guest services, rental revenues from our operating multifamily properties and reimbursementrevenue in the three months ended December 31, 2021 primarily consisted of 38 tract acres sold to third parties for costs paid to subcontractors plus development and construction fees from certain multifamily projects. The decrease in commercial and income producing properties revenues in third quarter and first nine months 2017 when compared with third quarter and first nine months 2016 was primarily due to the sale of Radisson Hotel & Suites and one multifamily property in 2016 as a result of our key initiative to sell non-core assets.$3.5 million.

Cost of sales in third quarter and first ninethe three months 2017 decreased whenended December 31, 2021 increased as compared with third quarter and first nine months 2016 primarily due to non-cash impairment charges of $7,627,000 and $56,453,000 associated with six non-core community development projects and two multifamily sites in 2016, lower lot sale activity from our owned and consolidated projects and no undeveloped land sales in third quarter and first nine months 2017.

The decrease in employee compensation and benefits expense in third quarter and first nine months 2017 is principally related to reductions in personnel resulting from our key initiatives to reduce costs across our entire organization and our plan to sell non-core assets. The decrease in property taxes and depreciation and amortization isthe prior year period primarily due to the saleincrease in the number of Radisson Hotel & Suiteslots sold. Cost of sales related to tract sales and one wholly-owned multifamily propertyother revenues in 2016. The decreasethe three months ended December 31, 2021 was $2.7 million.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expense and Other Income Statement Items

SG&A expense in other operating expenses isthe three months ended December 31, 2021 was $21.5 million compared to $15.5 million in the prior year period. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues was 5.3% and 5.0% in the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our SG&A expense primarily due to $1,605,000consists of pre-acquisitionemployee compensation and development costsrelated costs. Our business operations employed 271 and 179 employees at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Equity in first nine months 2016 associated with multifamily and mitigation projectsearnings of unconsolidated ventures in both periods reflects our share of earnings in ventures that we no longer intended to pursue, operating cost savings from non-core community development projects sold in 2016 and other cost reductions acrossaccount for using the organization.equity method.
Interest income principally represents interest received on reimbursements from utility and improvement districts.
First nine months 2017 gain on sale of assets consists primarily of $465,000 received from the Cibolo Canyons Special Improvement District (CCSID) funded by hotel occupancy and sales and use tax revenues and $1,318,000 associated with the reduction of a surety bond in connection with our credit support of a 2014 CCSID bond issuance. As the CCSID bond principal decreases, our credit support obligation is reduced and certain deferred gains associated with our receipt of proceeds from CCSID funded by its 2014 bond issuance will be recognized.
Gain on sale of assets in first ninethe three months 2016 includesended December 31, 2021 consists of a gain of $95,336,000 related to sale of the Radisson Hotel & Suites, a gain of $9,116,000 related to sale of the Eleven multifamily project, a gain of $1,229,000 associated with sale of the Dillon multifamily project, a gain of $10,363,000 related to sale of our interest in the 360° multifamily venture, a gain of $3,968,000$0.5 million associated with the sale of the Music Row multifamily project, a gain of $1,219,000 associated with the reduction of a surety bond supporting the 2014 CCSID bond issuancean investment.

Interest and $501,000 from CCSID funded by hotel occupancy and sales and use tax collections.

The increase in equity in earnings from our unconsolidated ventures in first nine months 2017 compared with first nine months 2016 isother income primarily due to higher lot sale activity and earnings from LM Land Holdings, LP which benefited from the sale of 42 commercial acres for $13,600,000, generating venture earnings of $10,683,000, of which $6,321,000 was deferred and will be recognized as development is completed. Basedrepresents interest earned on our 37.5% interest in this venture, our pro-rata share of the earnings associated with this sale was $1,636,000. Venture earnings from 242, LLC also benefited from the sale of 46 commercial acres for $9,719,000 generating $6,612,000 in earnings to the venture. Based on our 50% interest in the venture, our pro-rata share of the earnings associated with this sale was $3,306,000.cash deposits.
We underwrite real estate development projects based on a variety of assumptions incorporated into our development plans, including the timing and pricing of sales and leasing and costs to complete development. Our development plans are periodically reviewed in comparison to our return projections and expectations, and we may revise our plans as business conditions warrant. If as a result of changes to our development plans the anticipated future net cash flows are reduced such that our basis in a project is not fully recoverable, we may be required to recognize a non-cash impairment charge for such project.

Mineral Resources
In first quarter 2017, we sold our remaining owned mineral assets for a total purchase price of approximately $85,700,000. We generated total gains of $82,422,000 in first nine months 2017 of which $8,200,000 was recognized in third quarter 2017 as a result of the expiration of a title review period. With the completion of this sale we have divested of substantially all of our oil and gas assets.

 _________________________
(a)
Oil royalties include revenues from oil, condensate and natural gas liquids (NGLs).
In third quarter and first nine months 2017, royalty revenues decreased principally due to the sale of our remaining owned mineral assets.
Cost of mineral resources principally includes a non-cash impairment charge of $37,900,000 in first nine months 2017 associated with goodwill related to the sale of our owned mineral assets in first quarter 2017.
Operating expenses principally consist of employee compensation and benefits, legal and professional services, property taxes and rent expense. The increase in operating expenses in third quarter and first nine months 2017 compared with third quarter and first nine months 2016 is primarily due to incentive compensation and legal expenses associated with the sale of our owned mineral assets.
In first nine months 2017, equity in earnings of unconsolidated ventures represents $1,245,000 in earnings from a venture in which we own a 50% interest. These earnings were principally a result of our purchase of certain mineral assets from the venture. We purchased these assets from the venture for $2,400,000 and subsequently received our pro-rata share of the earnings and distributable cash of $1,200,000 from the venture.

Other
Our other segment, all of which is non-core, manages our timber holdings, recreational leases and water resource initiatives. Our other segment revenues are principally derived from the sales of wood fiber from our land and leases for recreational uses. At third quarter-end 2017, we did not have any remaining timber holdings or recreational leases, and we had water interests in approximately 1.5 million acres, including a 45 percent nonparticipating royalty interest in groundwater produced or withdrawn for commercial purposes or sold from 1.4 million acres in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama, and approximately 20,000 acres of groundwater leases in central Texas. All of our water interests were classified as assets held for sale at third quarter-end 2017.

In third quarter and first nine months 2017, revenues decreased principally due to the sale of our remaining undeveloped land containing our timber holdings and recreational leases.
Cost of sales principally includes non-cash cost of timber cut and sold and delay rental payments paid to others and permit fees related to groundwater leases in central Texas.
The decrease in operating expenses in third quarter and first nine months 2017 when compared with third quarter and first nine months 2016 is primarily due to our key initiatives to sell non-core assets and reduce costs across the organization. Operating expenses associated with our water resources initiatives for first nine months 2017 and 2016 were $321,000 and $703,000.
Gain on sale of assets represents nonrefundable earnest money forfeited by a buyer that terminated a contract to purchase our 20,000 acres of groundwater leases in central Texas. As of third quarter-end 2017, we continued to market this asset for sale and evaluate the long term use and ultimate disposition of this asset.
Items Not Allocated to Segments
Unallocated items represent income and expenses managed on a company-wide basis and include general and administrative expenses, share-based and long-term incentive compensation, gain on sale of strategic timberland and undeveloped land, interest expense and other corporate non-operating income and expense. General and administrative expenses principally consist of accounting and finance, tax, legal, human resources, internal audit, information technology and our board of directors. These functions support all of our business segments and are not allocated.

The increase in general and administrative expense in first nine months 2017 when compared with first nine months 2016 is primarily due to a $20,000,000 merger agreement termination fee and $5,624,000 in professional fees and other costs associated with proposed merger transactions. Employee compensation and benefits includes $652,000 and $486,000 in severance costs incurred in first nine months 2017 and 2016.
Share-based and long-term incentive compensation expense
Our share-based compensation expense fluctuates principally due to a portion of our awards being cash-settled and as a result they are affected by changes in the market price of our common stock. The decrease in share-based and long-term incentive compensation expense in third quarter and first nine months 2017 when compared with third quarter and first nine months 2016 is primarily due to no new share-based awards granted to employees in first nine months 2017.
Gain on Sale of Assets
Third quarter and first nine months 2017 gain on sale of assets increased compared to third quarter and first nine months 2016 due to sale of approximately 19,000 acres of timberland and undeveloped land in Georgia and Texas for $46,197,000 in three transactions generating combined proceeds of $45,396,000. These transactions generated combined gains of $28,674,000 in first nine months 2017 of which $625,000 was recognized in third quarter 2017 upon receipt of certain regulatory approvals and release of funds from escrow.
Interest expense
The decrease in interest expense in third quarter and first nine months 2017 when compared with third quarter and first nine months 2016 is due to a reduction of our debt outstanding by $277,790,000 in 2016.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
Loss on extinguishment of debt in first nine months 2016 resulted from retirement of debt pursuant to the cash tender offer on our 8.5% senior secured notes and other open market purchases of debt securities.
Income Taxes

Our income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $13.0 million and $7.1 million, respectively, and our effective tax rate was 24.3% in both periods. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 39 percent in third quarter 2017for both periods includes an expense for state income taxes and 53 percent for first nine months 2017. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations for first nine months 2017 exceeded the statutory rate due to a change in our valuation allowance due to current year transaction costs (termination fee and other costs) associated with our Merger. In addition, our effective tax rate from continuing operations for first nine months 2017 exceeded the statutory rate due to goodwill impairment associated with our first quarter 2017 sale of owned mineral assetsnondeductible expenses and a benefit from a valuation allowance decrease duerelated to net decreases in ournoncontrolling interests.

At December 31, 2021, we had deferred tax assets.
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was a tax benefitliabilities, net of 124 percent in third quarter 2016 and a tax expense of 18 percent for first nine months 2016. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations for first nine months 2016 of 18 percent differs from the statutory rate of 35 percent primarily due to a benefit from decrease in our valuation allowance related to decrease in our deferred tax assets. In addition, 2017 and 2016 effective tax rates from continuing operations include the effect of state income taxes, nondeductible items and benefits of percentage depletion.
At third quarter-end 2017 and year-end 2016, we have a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets, of $66,461,000

and $73,405,000 for the portion of the$23.0 million. The deferred tax assets that we have determinedwere partially offset by a valuation allowance of $1.2 million, resulting in a net deferred tax liability of $24.2 million. At September 30, 2021, deferred tax liabilities, net of deferred tax assets, were $23.2 million. The deferred tax assets were partially offset by a valuation allowance of $1.2 million, resulting in a net deferred tax liability of $24.4 million. The valuation allowance for both periods was recorded because it is more likely than not that a portion of our state deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards, will not be realized because we are no longer operating in some states or the NOL carryforward periods are too brief to be unrealizable under U.S. GAAP.
In determining our valuation allowance, we assessed availablerealize the related deferred tax asset. We will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit usein determining the need for a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. Any reversal of the existing deferredvaluation allowance in future periods will impact our effective tax assets under U.S. GAAP. A significant piecerate.

Land and Lot Position

Our land and lot position at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2017, principally driven2021 is summarized as follows:

Lots owned65,700 64,400 
Lots controlled through land and lot purchase contracts37,600 32,600 
Total lots owned and controlled103,300 97,000 

At December 31, 2021, our lot position consisted of 103,300 residential lots, of which approximately 65,700 were owned and 37,600 were controlled through purchase contracts. Of our total owned residential lots, approximately 20,000 were under contract to sell to D.R. Horton. Additionally, D.R. Horton has the right of first offer on approximately 18,300 of our owned residential lots based on executed purchase and sale agreements. At December 31, 2021, our lots owned included approximately 4,900 lots that were fully developed, of which approximately 200 are related to lot banking. At December 31, 2021, we had approximately 1,000 lots under contract to sell to customers other than D.R. Horton.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2021, we had $162.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $343.7 million of available borrowing capacity on our revolving credit facility. We have no senior note maturities until fiscal 2026. We believe we are well-positioned to effectively operate through changing economic conditions because of our low net leverage and strong liquidity position, our low overhead model and our strategic relationship with D.R. Horton.

At December 31, 2021, our ratio of debt to total capital (debt divided by impairmentsstockholders’ equity plus debt) was 40.0% compared to 41.0% at September 30, 2021 and 42.3% at December 31, 2020. Our ratio of oilnet debt to total capital (debt net of unrestricted cash divided by stockholders’ equity plus debt net of unrestricted cash) was 33.9% compared to 35.2% at September 30, 2021 and gas31.8% at December 31, 2020. Over the long term, we intend to maintain our ratio of net debt to total capital at approximately 40% or less. We believe that the ratio of net debt to total capital is useful in understanding the leverage employed in our operations.

We believe that our existing cash resources and real estate properties in prior years. Such evidence limitsrevolving credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our near-term working capital needs. Our ability to achieve our long-term growth objectives will depend on our ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our projected future taxable income.
The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted if negative evidenceobtain financing in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence, such as our projected future taxable income.
Our unrecognized tax benefits totaled approximately $442,000 at third quarter-end 2017, all of which would affect our effective tax rate, if recognized.
On September 22, 2017, in accordance with our previously announced initiative to sell non-core assets, we sold the common stock of Forestar Petroleum Corporation for $100,000. With the completion of this transaction we have now sold all of our oil and gas assets and related entities. This transaction resulted in a significant tax loss. The corresponding tax benefit is reported in discontinued operations as a discrete event in third quarter 2017.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
Sources and Uses of Cash
The consolidated statements of cash flows for first nine months 2017 and 2016 reflect cash flows from both continuing and discontinued operations. We operate in cyclical industries and our cash flows fluctuate accordingly. Our principal sources of cash are proceeds from the sale of real estate, the cash flows from our mineral resources and income producing properties, borrowings and reimbursements from utility and improvement districts. Our principal cash requirements are for the acquisition and development of real estate, either directly or indirectly through ventures, taxes, interest and compensation. Operating cash flows are affected by the timing of the payment of real estate development expenditures and the collection of proceeds from the eventual sale of the real estate, the timing of which can vary substantially depending on many factors including the size of the project, state and local permitting requirements and availability of utilities. Working capital varies based on a variety of factors, including the timing of sales of real estate, collection of receivables, reimbursement from utility and improvement districts and the payment of payables and expenses.

We regularly evaluate alternatives for managing our capital structure and liquidity profile in consideration of expected cash flows, growth and operating capital requirements and capital market conditions.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows fromBank Credit Facility

We have a $410 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $600 million, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The maturity date of the facility is April 16, 2025. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to the greater of $100 million and 50% of the revolving credit commitment. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base calculation based on the book value of our real estate acquisitionassets and development activities, undeveloped landunrestricted cash. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. There were no borrowings or repayments under the facility in the three months ended December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding and $66.3 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $343.7 million.

The revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity, and a maximum allowable leverage ratio. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. At December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of our revolving credit facility.

The cash provided by operating activities in first nine months 2016.the current period was primarily the result of the net income generated in the period and increases in liabilities and other accrued expenses, partially offset by the increase in our real estate. The decreasecash used in cash provided by operating activities in the prior year over yearperiod was primarily due to the payment of a $20,000,000 merger agreement termination fee and $5,624,000 of professional fees and other costs related to proposed merger transactions, no retail land sales in 2017, $14,703,000 in funds received in first quarter 2016 that were previously held by a qualified intermediary for an intended like-kind exchange that was not completed related to a 2015 sale of undeveloped land and payment of $3,000,000 related to a legal settlement in first nine months 2017. These items were partially offset by an increase in distributions of earnings of unconsolidated ventures in first ninereal estate.

Investing Cash Flow Activities

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Capital contributions to and capital distributions from unconsolidated ventures, costs incurred to acquire, develop and construct multifamily projects that will be held as commercial operating properties upon stabilization as investment property, business acquisitions and investment in oil and gas properties and equipment are classified as investing activities. In addition, proceeds from the sale of property and equipment and software costs are also classified as investing activities.

Liquidity
Prior to Completion of the Merger
At third quarter-end 2017, our senior secured credit facility provided a line of credit commitment of $50,000,000, none of which was drawn, and included a $50,000,000 sublimit for letters of credit, of which $14,267,000 was outstanding. Total borrowings under our senior secured credit facility (including the face amount of letters of credit) were limited by a borrowing base formula. At third quarter-end2017, we had $14,810,000 in net unused borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility.
At third quarter-end 2017, net unused borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility is calculated as follows:
 
Senior Credit
Facility
 (In thousands)
Borrowing base availability$29,077
Less: borrowings
Less: letters of credit(14,267)
 $14,810
Our net unused borrowing capacity during third quarter 2017 ranged from a high of $14,810,000 to a low of $14,239,000.
Our debt agreements contain financial covenants customary for such agreements including minimum levels of interest coverage and limitations on leverage. At third quarter-end 2017, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of these agreements.
The following table details our compliance with the financial covenants calculated as provided$0.2 million in the senior secured credit facility:three months ended December 31, 2020.

 ___________________________________

(a)
Calculated as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization), plus non-cash compensation expense, plus other non-cash expenses, divided by interest expense excluding loan fees. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter on a rolling four quarter basis.
(b)
Calculated as total funded debt divided by adjusted asset value. Total funded debt includes indebtedness for borrowed funds, secured liabilities, reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit or similar instruments, and our pro-rata share of joint venture debt outstanding. Adjusted asset value is defined as the sum of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, high value timberlands, raw entitled lands, entitled land under development, special improvement district reimbursements (SIDR) value and other real estate owned at book value without regard to any indebtedness and our pro rata share of joint ventures’ book value without regard to any indebtedness. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter.
(c)
Calculated as the amount by which consolidated total assets exceed consolidated total liabilities. At third quarter-end 2017, the requirement is $479,117,000 computed as: $379,044,000 plus 85 percent of the aggregate net proceeds received by us from any equity offering, plus 75 percent of all positive net income, on a cumulative basis since third quarter-end 2015. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter.
To make additional discretionary investments, acquisitions, or distributions, we must maintain available liquidity equal to 10 percent of the aggregate commitments in place. At third quarter-end 2017, the minimum liquidity requirement was $5,000,000, compared with $404,852,000 in actual available liquidity based on the unused borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility plus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. The failure to maintain such minimum liquidity does not constitute a default or event of default of our senior secured credit facility.
Discretionary investments in community development may be restricted in the event that the revenue/capital expenditure ratio is less than or equal to 1.0x. At third quarter-end 2017, our revenue/capital expenditure ratio was 2.6x. Revenue is defined as total gross revenues (excluding revenues attributed to Credo and multifamily properties), plus our pro rata share of the operating revenues from unconsolidated ventures. Capital expenditures are defined as consolidated development and acquisition expenditures (excluding investments related to Credo and multifamily properties), plus our pro rata share of unconsolidated ventures’ development and acquisition expenditures.
We may elect to make distributions to our stockholders so long as the total leverage ratio is less than 40 percent, the interest coverage ratio is greater than 3.0:1.0 and available liquidity is not less than $125,000,000, all of which were satisfied at third quarter-end 2017. Regardless of whether the foregoing conditions are satisfied, we may make distributions in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000,000 to be funded from up to 65 percent of the net proceeds from sales of multifamily properties and non-core assets, such as the Radisson Hotel & Suites in Austin, and any oil and gas properties.
Following Completion of the Merger

Letter of Credit Facility
On October 5, 2017, we entered into a Letter of Credit Facility Agreement (the “LC Facility Agreement”) providing for a $30,000,000 secured standby letter of credit facility (the “LC Facility”) with Keybank National Association and other lenders party thereto, as banks, Keybank National Association, as letter of credit issuer and administrative agent, and Keybanc Capital Markets, as sole arranger and sole bookrunner.
The LC Facility is secured by $30,000,000 in cash deposited with the administrative agent. We are required to pay a letter of credit fee of 1.25% per annum on the outstanding face amount of the letters of credit issued under the LC Facility, as well as other customary fees and expenses. We also are required to pay an unused facility fee of 0.15% per annum, in each case on the daily amount by which the aggregate commitments exceed the sum of the outstanding letters of credit during each fiscal quarter or portion thereof.
The LC Facility Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and other undertakings. The LC Facility Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs, all or a portion of the commitments under the LC Facility may be terminated and/or other rights held by the banks under any of the related facility documents (including against the collateral) may be exercised, subject to certain limitations.

Termination of Senior Credit Facility

On October 5, 2017, in connection with entry into the LC Facility, we terminated our existing senior credit facility (the “Prior Credit Facility”). The Prior Credit Facility provided for a $50,000,000 revolving line of credit that was scheduled to mature on May 15, 2018. This Prior Credit Facility could be prepaid at any time without penalty and included a $50,000,000

sublimit for letters of credit, of which $14,267,000 were outstanding at the time of termination and were transferred to the new LC Facility.

3.75% Convertible Senior Notes

On October 5, 2017, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, we entered into a Third Supplemental Indenture (together with the base indenture and the prior supplemental indentures, the "Indenture") to the Indenture relating to our 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Convertible Notes”).
Pursuant to the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Convertible Notes are no longer convertible into shares of Former Forestar Common Stock and instead are convertible into cash and shares of New Forestar Common Stock based on the per-share weighted average of the cash and shares of New Forestar Common Stock received by our stockholders that affirmatively made an election in connection with the Merger. As a result of such elections, for each share of Former Forestar Common Stock a holder of Convertible Notes was previously entitled to receive upon conversion of Convertible Notes, such holder is instead entitled to receive $14.19785 in cash and 0.20012 of a share of New Forestar Common Stock.

The completion of the Merger constituted a Fundamental Change, as defined in the Indenture. On October 12, 2017, in accordance with the Indenture, we gave notice of the Fundamental Change to holders of the Convertible Notes and made an offer to purchase (a “Fundamental Change Offer”) all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of every holder’s Convertible Notes pursuant to the Fundamental Change Offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture. In the Fundamental Change Offer, we offered to repurchase the Convertible Notes for a price in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

8.50% Senior Secured Notes

On October 30, 2017 (the “Redemption Date”), we redeemed the remaining $5,315,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 8.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”). Pursuant to the indenture governing the Notes, the Notes were redeemed for $5,928,063, which was the sum of (a) the present value of 104.250% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and the scheduled payments of interest thereon through June 1, 2018 discounted as set forth in such indenture to the Redemption Date, plus (b) accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the Redemption Date.

Available Cash and New Credit Facility

We have significantly reduced our outstanding debt since 2015 and have also generated significant available cash for reinvestment in our core community development business as a result of execution of our key initiatives over the past two years. The merger with D.R Horton provides us an opportunity to substantially grow our business in the future by establishing a strategic relationship to supply finished lots to D. R. Horton at market prices under a master supply agreement. We will fund our growth initially with available cash on our balance sheet, and we are also evaluating our longer-term capital structure, projected future liquidity and working capital requirements. We will pursue a new credit facility to support our growth and will also consider other alternatives to raise additional capital in the future, such as issuing debt or equity securities, as we expand our business with the goal of being a leading national land developer.


Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In 2014, FMF Littleton LLC, an equity method venture in whichsupport of our residential lot development business, we ownissue letters of credit under our revolving credit facility and we have a 25 percent interest, obtained a senior secured construction loan insurety bond program that provides financial assurance to beneficiaries related to the amount of $46,384,000 to develop a 385-unit multifamily project located in Littleton, Colorado. The outstanding balance was $46,064,000 at third quarter-end 2017. We provided the lender with a guaranty of completion of the improvements; a guaranty for repayment of 25 percent of the principal balanceexecution and unpaid accrued interest; and a standard nonrecourse carve-out guaranty. In third quarter 2017, the principal guaranty was reduced from 25 percent to 10 percent of principal due to achievementperformance of certain conditions.
In 2014, CREA FMF Nashville LLC, an equity method venture in whichdevelopment obligations. At December 31, 2021, we own a 30 percent interest, obtained a senior secured construction loan inhad outstanding letters of credit of $66.3 million under the amountrevolving credit facility and surety bonds of $51,950,000 to develop a 320-unit multifamily project located in Nashville, Tennessee. The outstanding balance at third quarter-end 2017 was $35,778,000. We provided the lender with a guaranty of completion of the improvements; a guaranty for repayment of 25 percent of the principal balance and unpaid accrued interest; and a standard nonrecourse carve-out guaranty. The principal guaranty will reduce from 25 percent of principal to zero percent upon achievement of certain conditions. In first quarter 2017, the principal guaranty was reduced from 25 percent to 15 percent of principal due to achievement of certain conditions.

Cibolo Canyons—San Antonio, Texas
Cibolo Canyons consists of the JW Marriott ® San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa development owned$528.2 million, issued by third parties and a mixed-use development we own. Our net investment in Cibolo Canyons is $43,299,000 at third quarter-end 2017, all of which is related to the mixed-use development.
Mixed-Use Development
The mixed-use development we own consists of 2,100 acres planned to include approximately 2,000 residential lots and 133 commercial acres designated for multifamily and retail uses, of which 1,208 lots and 97 commercial acres have been sold through third quarter-end 2017.
In 2007, we entered into an agreement with CCSID providing for reimbursement of certain infrastructure costs related to the mixed-use development. Reimbursements are subject to review and approval by CCSID and unreimbursed amounts accrue interest at 9.75 percent per annum. CCSID’s funding for reimbursements is principally derived from its ad valorem tax collections and bond proceeds collateralized by ad valorem taxes, less debt service on these bonds and annual administrative and public service expenses.
Because the amount of each reimbursement is dependent on several factors, including timing of CCSID approval and CCSID having an adequate tax base to generate funds that can be used to reimburse us, there is uncertainty as to the amount and timing of reimbursementssecure performance under this agreement.various contracts. We expect to recoverthat our investment from lot and tract sales and reimbursement of approved infrastructure costs from CCSID. We have not recognized income from interest due, but not collected. Asperformance obligations secured by these uncertainties are clarified, we will modify our accounting accordingly.
Through third quarter-end 2017, our inception-to-date submitted reimbursements for the Cibolo Canyons project were $56,750,000, of which $52,337,000 have been approved, and we have collected $46,567,000, of which $1,435,000 was received in first nine months 2017. At third quarter-end 2017, we have $10,183,000 in pending submitted reimbursements, excluding interest.
Resort Hotel, Spa and Golf Development
In 2007, we entered into agreements to facilitate third party construction and ownership of the JW Marriott ® San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa (the Resort), which includes a 1,002 room destination resort and two PGA Tour ® Tournament Players Club ® (TPC) golf courses.
In exchange for our commitment to the Resort, the third party owners assigned to us certain rights under an agreement between the third party owners and CCSID. This agreement includes the right to receive from CCSID 9 percent of hotel occupancy revenues and 1.5 percent of other resort sales revenues collected as taxes by CCSID through 2034. The amount we receive will be net of annual ad valorem tax reimbursements by CCSID to the third party owners of the resort through 2020. In addition, these payments will be net of debt service on bonds issued by CCSID collateralized by hotel occupancy tax (HOT) and other resort sales tax through 2034. The amounts we collect under this agreement are dependent on several factors including the amount of revenues generated by and ad valorem taxes imposed on the Resort and the amount of debt service incurred by CCSID.
In 2014, we received $50,550,000 from CCSID principally related to its issuance of $48,900,000 HOT and Sales and Use Tax Revenue Bonds, resulting in recovery of our full Resort investment. These bonds are obligations solely of CCSID and are payable from HOT and sales and use taxes levied on the Resort by CCSID. To facilitate the issuance of the bonds, we provided a $6,846,000 letterletters of credit to the bond trustee as security for certain debt service fund obligationsand bonds will generally be completed in the event CCSID tax collections are not sufficient to support paymentordinary course of the bondsbusiness and in accordance with theirthe applicable contractual terms. The letterWhen we complete our performance obligations, the related letters of credit must be maintained until the earlier of redemption of theand bonds or scheduled bond maturity in 2034.are generally released shortly thereafter, leaving us with no continuing obligations. We also entered into an agreement with the owner of the Resort to assign its senior rights to us in exchange for consideration provided by us, including a surety bond to be drawn if CCSID tax collections are not sufficient to support ad valorem tax rebates payable. The surety bond has a balance of $5,312,000 at third quarter-end 2017. The surety bond decreases as CCSID makes annual ad valorem tax rebate payments, which obligation is scheduled to be retired in full by 2020. All future receipts are expected to be recognized as gains in the period collected. We received $465,000 in first nine months 2017.have no material third-party guarantees.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate SensitivityRisk

We have no significant exposureare subject to interest rate risk.risk on our senior debt, revolving credit facility and our other note payable. We monitor our exposure to changes in interest rates and utilize both fixed and variable rate debt. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair value of the debt instrument, but may affect our future earnings and cash flows. Except in very limited circumstances, we do not have an obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value would not have a significant impact on our cash flows related to our fixed-rate debt until such time as we are required to refinance, repurchase or repay such debt.

Our fixed rate debt consists of $400 million principal amount of 3.85% senior notes due May 2026, $300 million principal amount of 5.0% senior notes due March 2028 and $12.5 million principal amount of 4.0% other note payable due in October 2023. Our variable rate debt consists of the outstanding borrowings on our $410 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, of which there were none at December 31, 2021. 

Foreign Currency Risk

We have no exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.

Commodity Price Risk

We have no significant exposure to commodity price fluctuations.


Item 4.Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controlscontrols and Proceduresprocedures

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or the(the Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and arewere effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Controlinternal control over Financial Reportingfinancial reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this reportquarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

We are involved directly or through ventures in various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doingour business. We believe we have established adequate reserves for any probable losses and that the outcome of any of the proceedings should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or long-term results of operations or cash flows. It is possible, however, that circumstances beyond our control or significant subsequent developments could result in additional charges related to these matters that could be significant to our results of operations or cash flow in any single accounting period.



Item 1A.Risk Factors
There are no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our first and second quarter 2017 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q except as follows:
So long as D.R. Horton controls us, our other stockholders will have limited ability to influence matters requiring stockholder approval, and D.R. Horton's interest may conflict with the interests of our other stockholders.
        D.R. Horton beneficially owns approximately 75% of our common stock. As a result, until such time as D.R. Horton and its controlled affiliates hold shares representing less than a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by our stockholders at a stockholder meeting, D.R. Horton generally will have the ability to control the outcome of any matter submitted for the vote of our stockholders, except in certain circumstances set forth in the our new certificate of incorporation or bylaws. In addition, under the terms of a stockholder's agreement with D.R. Horton, so long as D.R. Horton or its affiliates own 35% or more of our voting securities, we may not take certain actions without D.R. Horton's approval, including certain actions with respect to equity issuances, indebtedness, acquisitions and executive hiring, termination and compensation.
        In addition, pursuant to the stockholder's agreement with D.R. Horton, we are subject to certain requirements and limitations regarding the composition of our Board. However, many of those requirements and limitations expire in January 2019 (15 months after the merger). Thereafter, for so long as D.R. Horton and its controlled affiliates hold shares of our common stock representing at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by our stockholders at a stockholder meeting, D.R. Horton will be able to nominate and elect all the members of our Board, subject to a requirement that we and D.R. Horton use reasonable best efforts to cause at least three directors to qualify as "independent directors," as such term is defined in the NYSE listing rules, and applicable law. The directors elected by D.R. Horton will have the authority to make decisions affecting our capital structure, including the issuance of additional capital stock or options, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the implementation of stock repurchase programs and the declaration of dividends.
        The interests of D.R. Horton may not coincide with the interests of our other stockholders. D.R. Horton's ability, subject to the limitations in the stockholder's agreement and our new certificate of incorporation and bylaws, to control matters submitted to our stockholders for approval will limit the ability of other stockholders to influence corporate matters, which may cause us to take actions that our stockholders do not view as beneficial to them. In such circumstances, the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected. In addition, the existence of a controlling stockholder may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, or may discourage a third party from seeking to acquire us. A third party would be required to negotiate any such transaction with D.R. Horton, and the interests of D.R. Horton with respect to such transaction may be different from the interests of our other stockholders.
        Subject to limitations in the stockholder's agreement and the our new certificate of incorporation that limit D.R. Horton's ability to take advantage of certain corporate opportunities, D.R. Horton is not restricted from competing with us or otherwise taking for itself or its other affiliates certain corporate opportunities that may be attractive to us.
Any inability to resolve favorably any disputes that may arise between us and D.R. Horton may result in a significant reduction of our revenues and earnings.
        Disputes may arise between D.R. Horton and us in a number of areas, including:
business combinations involving us; 
sales or dispositions by D.R. Horton of all or any portion of its ownership interest in us; 
performance under a master supply agreement between D.R. Horton and us; 
arrangements with third parties that are exclusionary to D.R. Horton or us; and 
business opportunities that may be attractive to both D.R. Horton and us.
        We may not be able to resolve any potential conflicts, and even if we do, the resolution may be less favorable than if we were dealing with an unaffiliated party.

        New agreements may be entered into between us and D.R. Horton, and agreements we enter into with D.R. Horton may be amended upon agreement between the parties. Because we are controlled by D.R. Horton, we may not have the leverage to negotiate these agreements, or amendments thereto if required, on terms as favorable to us as those that we would negotiate with an unaffiliated third party.
D.R. Horton's ability to control our Board may make it difficult for us to recruit independent directors.
        So long as D.R. Horton and its controlled affiliates hold shares of our common stock representing at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by our stockholders at a stockholders' meeting, D.R. Horton will be able to elect all of the members of our Board, subject to the requirement to nominate one individual from the pre-merger Board at our 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. Further, the interests of D.R. Horton and our other stockholders may diverge. Under these circumstances, persons who might otherwise accept an invitation to join our Board may decline.
We qualify as a "controlled company" within the meaning of the NYSE rules and, as a result, may elect to rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to stockholders of companies that are not "controlled companies."
        So long as D.R. Horton owns more than 50% of the total voting power of our common stock, we qualify as a "controlled company" under the NYSE corporate governance standards. As a controlled company, we may under the NYSE rules elect to be exempt from obligations to comply with certain NYSE corporate governance requirements, including the requirements:
that a majority of our Board consist of independent directors; 
that we have a nominating and governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities; 
that we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities; and 
that an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and governance committee and compensation committee be performed.
        We have not elected to utilize the “controlled company” exemptions at this time. However, if we elect to use the "controlled company" exemptions, our stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements.
We may not realize potential benefits of the strategic relationship with D.R. Horton, including the transactions contemplated by a master supply agreement with D.R. Horton.
        A master supply agreement establishes a strategic relationship between us and D.R. Horton for the supply of developed lots. Under the master supply agreement, we will, and D.R. Horton may, present lot development opportunities that it desires to develop to the other party, subject to certain exceptions. The parties will collaborate with respect to such opportunities and, if they elect to develop such opportunities, D.R. Horton will have a right of first refusal to acquire some or all of the lots developed by us, as set forth in the master supply agreement, on market terms as determined by the parties. There are numerous uncertainties associated with our relationship with D.R. Horton, including the risk that the parties will be unable to negotiate mutually acceptable terms for lot development opportunities and the fact that D.R. Horton is not obligated to present lot development opportunities to us. As a result, we may not realize potential growth or other benefits from the strategic relationship with D.R. Horton, which may affect our financial condition or results of operations following completion of the merger.
D.R. Horton's control of us or the strategic relationship between D.R. Horton and us may negatively affect our business relationships with other builder customers.
        So long as D.R. Horton controls us or the strategic relationship between D.R. Horton and us remains in place, our business relationships with other builder customers may be negatively affected, including as a result of the risk that such other builder customers may believe that we will favor D.R. Horton over our other customers. In addition, we have in the past relied on builder referrals as a source for land development opportunities, and there is a risk that builders may refer such opportunities to land developers other than us as a result of our close alignment with D.R. Horton.
