THE ST. JOE COMPANY
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations
The St. Joe Company together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a real estate development, asset management and operating company with real estate assets and operations currently concentrated primarily between Tallahassee and Destin, Florida.
The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following
five
reportable operating segments: 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts and leisure, 4) leasing operations and 5) forestry.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements are not included herein. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in which the Company has significant influence, but not a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The
December 31, 2015
balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s
December 31, 2015
audited consolidated financial statements. Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported stockholders’ equity or net income (loss). Operating results for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2016
are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2016
.
A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity in which a controlling financial interest may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the entity that possesses the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are significant to it. The Company consolidates VIEs when it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, including real estate joint ventures determined to be VIEs (see Note 9,
Real Estate Joint Ventures
) and VIEs involved in a 2014 real estate sale.
The statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained herein. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company’s
December 31, 2015
annual financial statements. As required under GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions. For interim financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded based upon estimated annual income tax rates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Consolidation
In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02 that amends the existing consolidation guidance related to (i) limited partnerships and similar legal entities, (ii) the evaluation of variable interests for fees paid to decision makers or service providers, (iii) the effect of fee arrangements and related parties on the primary beneficiary determination and (iv) certain investment funds. These changes are expected to limit the number of consolidation models and place more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2016. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income (loss), statements of cash flows or notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Debt issuance costs
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendment does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. As of January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this ASU, which required retrospective application and resulted in the reclassification of debt issuance costs of
$2.1 million
from other assets to a reduction of
$0.7 million
in debt and a reduction of
$1.4 million
in Senior Notes held by special purpose entity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. Other than this change in presentation, this ASU did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 10,
Debt
for more information.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that establishes the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 that further clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application will be permitted, but not before annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Financial Instruments
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 that amends existing guidance to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The new guidance will require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in results of operations. Additionally, certain disclosure requirements and other aspects of accounting for financial instruments will change as a result of the new guidance, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 that requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected and requires that credit losses from available-for-sale debt securities be presented as an allowance for credit losses. This new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 that amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize both finance and operating leases with terms of more than 12 months on the balance sheet. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from existing guidance. The amendments also require certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. The new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Development property consists of land the Company is developing or intends to develop for sale or future operations. Residential real estate includes mixed-use resort, primary and seasonal residential communities and includes costs directly associated with the land, development and construction of these communities, including common development costs such as roads, utilities and amenities and indirect costs such as development overhead, capitalized interest, marketing and project administration. Commercial real estate includes land for commercial and industrial uses, including land holdings near the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport and Port of Port St. Joe, and includes costs directly associated with the land and development costs for these properties, which also include common development costs such as roads and utilities. Leasing development property primarily includes the land development and construction for the consolidated joint venture at Pier Park North. This leasing development property is being reclassified as operating property as tenants commence operations at Pier Park North.
Operating property includes property that the Company uses for operations and activities. The resorts and leisure operating property includes the WaterColor Inn, golf courses, a beach club and marinas. Leasing operating property includes property developed or purchased by the Company and used for retail and commercial rental purposes, including property in the consolidated joint venture at Pier Park North. Operating property may be sold in the future as part of the Company
’
s principal real estate business. Forestry operating property includes the Company’s timberlands.
The Company had
no
capitalized indirect development costs during the three and
six
months ended
June 30, 2016
and
$0.1 million
during the three and
six
months ended
June 30, 2015
, primarily related to the consolidated joint venture at Pier Park North.
3. Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment quarterly to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets include the Company’s investments in operating and development property and property and equipment. As part of the Company’s review for impairment of its long-lived assets, the Company reviews long-lived asset’s carrying value, current period actual financial results as compared to prior period and forecast contained in the Company’s business plan and any other events or changes in circumstances to identify whether an indicator of potential impairment may exist. Some of the events or changes in circumstances that are considered by the Company as indicators of potential impairment include:
|
|
•
|
a prolonged decrease in the fair value or demand for the Company’s properties;
|
|
|
•
|
a change in the expected use or development plans for the Company’s properties;
|
|
|
•
|
a material change in strategy that would affect the fair value of the Company’s properties;
|
|
|
•
|
continuing operating or cash flow losses for an operating property;
|
|
|
•
|
an accumulation of costs in excess of the projected costs for a development property; and
|
|
|
•
|
any other adverse change that may affect the fair value of the property.
|
The Company uses varying methods to determine if an impairment exists, such as (i) considering indicators of potential impairment, (ii) analyzing expected future cash flows and comparing the expected future undiscounted cash flows of the property to its carrying value or (iii) determining market resale values.
There were no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets would not be recoverable, therefore, the Company did not record any impairment charges during the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
.
4. Investments
Investments and restricted investments consist of available-for-sale securities and are recorded at fair value, which is based on quoted market prices and pricing data from external pricing services that use prices observed for recently executed market transactions. Unrealized gains and temporary losses on investments, net of tax, are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method. The amortized cost of debt securities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity computed under the effective interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in investment income, net. In addition, at
June 30, 2016
, the Company had investments in short term commercial paper that are classified as cash equivalents, since they had maturity dates of ninety days or less from the date of purchase.
At
June 30, 2016
investments and restricted investments classified as available-for-sale securities were as follows:

of preferred stock investments (all of which are classified within investments on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets).
$8.5 million
of the
$19.0 million
corporate debt securities and
$0.2 million
of the
$22.7 million
preferred stock are issued by Sears Holdings Corp or affiliates.
During the three and
six
months ended
June 30, 2016

As of
June 30, 2016
and December 31, 2015, the Company did not intend to sell the investments with unrealized losses and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell any of these securities prior to their anticipated recovery, which could be maturity; therefore, the Company does not believe that its investment in the debt securities and preferred stock was other-than-temporarily impaired at
June 30, 2016
and December 31, 2015.
The net carrying value and estimated fair value of investments and restricted investments classified as available-for-sale at
June 30, 2016
, by contractual maturity are shown in the following table. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations.

5. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, such as internally-developed valuation models which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at
June 30, 2016
were as follows:

Money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities, commercial paper and certain preferred stock are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market and categorized within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Money market funds and commercial paper with a maturity date of ninety days or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Corporate debt securities and certain preferred stock are not traded on a nationally recognized exchange but rather are traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market where there is less trading activity and these are measured primarily using pricing data from external pricing services that use prices observed for recently executed market transactions. For these reasons, the Company has determined that the corporate debt securities and certain preferred stock are categorized as level 2 financial instruments since their fair values were determined from market inputs in an inactive market.
Restricted investments include certain of the surplus assets that were transferred from the Company’s Pension Plan to a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) Plan in December 2014. The Company has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements until they are allocated to participants. As of December 31, 2015, the assets held in the suspense account were invested in the Prudential Guaranteed Income Fund, which is a stable value fund designed to provide safety of principal, liquidity and a rate of return. The Prudential Guaranteed Income Fund was valued based upon the contributions made to the fund, plus earnings at guaranteed crediting rates, less withdrawals and fees and was categorized as a level 2 financial instrument. During the six months ended
June 30, 2016
the assets were transferred to a Vanguard Money Market Fund, which invests in U.S. government securities and seeks to provide current income and preserve shareholders’ principal investment. The Vanguard Money Market Fund is measured based on quoted market prices in an active market and categorized within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s Retirement Plan Investment Committee is responsible for investing decisions and allocation decisions of the suspense account. Refer to Note 15,
Employee Benefit Plans

Retained Interest Investments
The Company has a beneficial interest in certain bankruptcy remote qualified special purpose entities (the “SPEs”) used in the installment sale monetization of certain sales of timberlands in 2007 and 2008. The SPEs’ assets are not available to satisfy the Company’s liabilities or obligations and the liabilities of the SPEs are not the Company’s liabilities or obligations. In the event that proceeds from the financial instruments are insufficient to settle all of the liabilities of the SPEs, the Company is not obligated to contribute any funds to the SPEs. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the SPEs, since the Company is not the primary decision maker with respect to activities that could significantly impact the economic performance of the SPEs, nor does the Company perform any service activity related to the SPEs. Therefore, the SPEs’ assets and liabilities are not consolidated in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
.
At the time of monetization the initial retained interest recorded was an estimate based on the present value of future excess cash flows expected to be received over the life of the retained interest, using management’s best estimate of underlying assumptions, including credit risk and discount rates. The Company’s continuing involvement with the SPEs is the receipt of the net interest payments and the remaining principal of approximately
$15.0 million
to be received at the end of the installment notes’
fifteen
year maturity period, in
2022
through
2024
.
The Company has a beneficial or retained interest investment related to these SPEs of
$10.4 million
and
$10.2 million
as of
June 30, 2016
and December 31,
2015
, respectively, recorded in other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has classified its retained interest investment as held-to-maturity because the Company has both the intent and the ability to hold its interest in the SPEs to maturity. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the retained interest investment at cost, adjusted for the accretion of investment income over the life of the retained interest using the effective yield method with rates ranging from
3.7%
to
11.3%
. The Company continues to update the expectation of cash flows to be collected over the term of the retained interest. Changes to the previously projected cash flows are accounted for prospectively, unless based on management’s assessment of current information and events, it is determined that there is an other-than-temporary impairment. The Company has not recorded an other-than-temporary impairment related to its retained interest investments during the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
.
In the event of a failure and liquidation of the counterparties involved in the installment sales, the Company could be required to write-off the remaining retained interest recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheets in connection with the installment sale monetization transactions in 2007 and 2008.
Investments and Senior Notes Held by Special Purpose Entities
In connection with a real estate sale in 2014, the Company received consideration consisting of (i) cash, (ii) a
$200.0 million
fifteen
-year installment note (the “Timber Note”) issued by Panama City Timber Finance Company, LLC, a buyer-sponsored special purpose entity (“AgReserves SPE”) and (iii) an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Letter of Credit”) at the request of AgReserves SPE, in favor of the Company. In 2014, the Company contributed the Timber Note and assigned its rights as a beneficiary under the Letter of Credit to Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC (“NFTF”), a bankruptcy-remote, qualified special purpose entity wholly-owned by the Company. NFTF monetized the Timber Note by issuing
$180.0 million
aggregate principal amount of its
4.8%
Senior Secured Notes due in 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) at an issue price of
98.5%
of face value to third party investors. AgReserves SPE and NFTF are VIEs, which the Company consolidates as the primary beneficiary of each entity. The investments held by special purpose entities consist of a
$200.0 million
time deposit that, subsequent to April 2, 2014, pays interest at
4.0%
and matures in March 2029, U.S. Treasuries of
$8.1 million
and cash of
$0.4 million
. The Senior Notes issued by NFTF consist of
$176.2 million
net of the
$3.8 million
discount and debt issuance costs.

7. Claim Settlement Receivable
On March 24, 2016, the Company entered into a full and final release agreement with BP p.l.c. and various related entities pursuant to which the Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of certain wholly owned subsidiaries, released any and all claims related to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill which occurred on April 20, 2010. In exchange for this release, the Company will receive the amount of
$13.2 million
from BP Exploration & Production Inc., a large portion of which will reimburse the Company for expenses incurred. Payment of the settlement amount is to be made pursuant to the following schedule: the amount of
$5.0 million
is to be paid in October of 2016 followed by payments of
$2.7 million
due in October of 2017, 2018 and 2019. The Company also received a guaranty of payments from BP North America Corporation Inc. As of March 24, 2016, the Company recorded the claim settlement receivable using an imputed interest rate of
3.0%
, based on its best estimate of the prevailing market rates for the source of credit, resulting in an initial present value of
$12.5 million
and a discount of
$0.7 million
.
$12.5 million
of the claim settlement was recognized as other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2016
. The discount is being accreted over the expected three and a half year term of the receivable using the effective interest method. Interest income for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and the period from March 24, 2016 to
June 30, 2016
was
$0.1 million
.

9. Real Estate Joint Ventures
The Company enters into real estate joint ventures, from time to time, for the purpose of developing real estate in which the Company may or may not have a controlling financial interest. GAAP requires consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb the VIE losses and right to receive benefits that are significant to the VIE. The Company examines specific criteria and uses judgment when determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate a VIE. The Company continues to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary on an ongoing basis.
Consolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures
During 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with a partner to develop a retail center at Pier Park North. The Company’s partner is responsible for the day-to-day activities of the joint venture. However, the Company has significant involvement in the design of the development and approves all major decisions, including project development, annual budgets and financing. The Company determined the joint venture is a VIE and that the Company is the VIE’s primary beneficiary as of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
.
In October 2015, the Pier Park North joint venture refinanced a construction loan by entering into a
$48.2 million
loan (the “Refinanced Loan”), which is secured by a first lien on, and security interest in, a majority of the Pier Park North joint venture’s property and a
$6.6 million
short-term letter of credit. Additionally, in connection with this refinancing, each of the Pier Park North joint venture partners executed a limited guarantee in favor of the lender, based on their percentage ownership in the joint venture. See Note 10,
Debt
.
In addition, the Company is the primary beneficiary of another real estate joint venture, Artisan Park, L.L.C, that is consolidated within the financial results of the Company. The Company is entitled to
74%
of the profits or losses of this VIE and is responsible for the day-to-day activities of the joint venture. The Company has determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture’s economic performance; therefore, the results of the VIE have been consolidated within the financial results of the Company.
Unconsolidated Real Estate VIE
As of
June 30, 2016
, the Company is a partner in ALP Liquidating Trust (
“
ALP
”
) that is accounted for using the equity method. The joint venture was entered into to develop and sell certain mixed use residential and commercial projects. The Company has evaluated the VIE consolidation requirements with respect to this joint venture and has determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary, since the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE. The Company is not required to contribute additional funds to ALP.
Summarized financial information for ALP is as follows:

(1) In 2008 the Company wrote-off its investment in ALP as a result of ALP reserving its assets to satisfy potential claims and obligations in accordance with its publicly reported liquidation basis of accounting. Subsequently, ALP changed its method of accounting to a going concern basis and reinstated its equity and stated it would report certain expenses as they are incurred. The Company has not recorded any additional equity income as a result of ALP’s change in accounting.
For the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, ALP reported net loss of
$0.3 million
and
$0.8 million
, respectively. For the
six
months ended

and

, ALP reported net loss of
$0.3 million
and

The Refinanced Loan accrues interest at a rate of
4.1%
per annum and matures in November 2025. In connection with the Refinanced Loan, the Company entered into a limited guarantee in favor of the lender, based on its percentage ownership of the joint venture. In addition, the guarantee can become full recourse in the case of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Pier Park North joint venture; any voluntary transfer or encumbrance of the property in violation of the due-on-sale clause in the security instrument; upon commencement of voluntary or insolvency proceedings and upon breach of covenants in the security instrument.
Community Development District (“CDD”) bonds financed the construction of infrastructure improvements at several of the Company’s projects. The principal and interest payments on the bonds are paid by assessments on, or from sales proceeds of, the properties benefited by the improvements financed by the bonds. The Company has recorded a liability for CDD assessments that are associated with platted property, which is the point at which the assessments become fixed or determinable. Additionally, the Company has recorded a liability for the balance of the CDD assessment that is associated with unplatted property if it is probable and reasonably estimable that the Company will ultimately be responsible for repaying. The Company has recorded debt of
$6.7 million
and
$7.0 million
related to CDD assessments as of
June 30, 2016
and December 31,
2015
, respectively. The Company’s total outstanding CDD assessments were

As of
June 30, 2016
, the Company had
no
federal net operating loss carryforwards and had
$317.8 million
of state net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future taxable income through
2031
.
In general, a valuation allowance is recorded if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future years in the appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain a benefit from the reversal of deductible temporary differences and from loss carryforwards. As of
December 31, 2015
, based on the timing of reversal of future taxable amounts and the Company’s history of losses, management did not believe it met the requirements to realize the benefits of certain of its deferred tax assets; therefore, the Company had maintained a valuation allowance of
$6.0 million
. During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2016
, the Company reversed
$0.3 million
of the valuation allowance that was recorded as of December 31, 2015. As of
June 30, 2016
, management believes it has not met the requirements to realize the benefits for a portion of its deferred tax assets for state net operating loss carryforwards; therefore, the Company has maintained a valuation allowance of
$5.7 million
for these deferred tax assets.
The Company had approximately
$1.7 million
of total unrecognized tax benefits as of each
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
. Of this total, there are no amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate. There were no decreases or increases related to prior year or current year tax positions.

8,919
restricted stock awards to
three
members of the Board of Directors as part of their compensation package and pursuant to the 2015 Performance and Equity Incentive Plan. These restricted stock awards vested
25%
on the date of issue with the remaining balance vesting
25%
on August 17, 2016, November 17, 2016 and February 17, 2017. For the six months ended
June 30, 2016
, the Company recorded expense of less than
$0.1 million
, related to restricted stock awards to the Company’s directors.
Stock Repurchase Program
As of January 1, 2016, the Company had a total authority of
$205.7 million
available for purchase of shares of its common stock pursuant to its stock repurchase program (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2016
, the Company repurchased
995,650
shares of its common stock at an average purchase price of
$14.88
per share, for an aggregate purchase price of
$14.8 million
, pursuant to its Stock Repurchase Program. As of
June 30, 2016
, the Company had a total authority of
$190.9 million
remaining available for purchase of shares under its Stock Repurchase Program. The Company may repurchase its common stock in open market purchases from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The timing and amount of any additional shares to be repurchased will depend upon a variety of factors, including market and business conditions and other factors. Repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice. The Stock Repurchase Program will continue until otherwise modified or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time in its sole discretion.
15. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all officers and employees of the Company, which permits participants to defer up to the maximum allowable amount determined by the IRS of their eligible compensation.
As part of the Pension Plan termination in 2014, the Company directed the Pension Plan to transfer
$7.9 million
of the Pension Plan’s surplus assets into a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) Plan. The Company has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements until they are allocated to participants. At
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, the fair values of these assets were recorded in restricted investments on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and were
$5.7 million
and
$7.1 million
, respectively.
The Company expenses the fair value of the assets at the time the assets are allocated to participants, which is expected to be up to the next
five
years. During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, the Company recorded an expense of
$1.4 million
and
$0.9 million
, respectively, for the fair value of the assets, less expenses, that were allocated to participants during that period. In addition, any gains and losses on these assets are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and were less than a
$0.1 million
gain for both the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
. Refer to Note 5,
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements.

17. Segment Information
The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following
five
reportable operating segments: 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts and leisure, 4) leasing and 5) forestry.
The residential real estate segment generates revenues from the development and sale of homes and homesites and the sale of parcels of entitled, undeveloped lots. The commercial real estate segment sells undeveloped or developed land and commercial operating property. The resort and leisure segment generates revenues and incurs costs from the WaterColor Inn and Resort, vacation rental program, management of The Pearl Hotel,
four
golf courses, a beach club, marina operations and other related resort activities. The leasing segment generates revenues and costs from retail and commercial leasing operations, including the Company’s consolidated joint venture at Pier Park North. The forestry segment produces and sells woodfiber, sawtimber and other forest products and may sell the Company’s timber or rural land holdings.
The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are each managed separately and decisions about allocations of resources are determined by management based on these strategic business units.
The Company uses income (loss) before income taxes and non-controlling interest for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing each segment’s performance, which the Company believes represents current performance measures.
The accounting policies of the segments are set forth in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in Item 15 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The caption entitled “Other” consists of mitigation credit revenue and non-allocated corporate general and administrative expenses, net of investment income.

18. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company establishes an accrued liability when it believes it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company will evaluate the range of reasonably estimated losses and record an accrued liability based on what it believes to be the minimum amount in the range, unless it believes an amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amounts accrued. The Company evaluates quarterly whether further developments could affect the amount of the accrued liability previously established or would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.
The Company also provides disclosure when it believes it is reasonably possible that a loss will be incurred or when it believes it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the recorded liability. The Company reviews loss contingencies at least quarterly to determine whether the likelihood of loss has changed and to assess whether a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss can be made. This estimated range of possible loss is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.
The Company is subject to a variety of litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including litigation related to its prior homebuilding activities and those described herein. The Company cannot assure that it will be successful in defending these matters. Based on current knowledge, the Company does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings, including those described herein, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Company. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.
The Company is subject to costs arising out of environmental laws and regulations, which include obligations to remove or limit the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of certain wastes or substances at various sites, including sites which have been previously sold. It is the Company’s policy to accrue and charge against earnings environmental cleanup costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. As assessments and cleanups proceed, these accruals are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, as additional information becomes available.
The Company’s former paper mill site in Gulf County and certain adjacent properties are subject to various Consent Agreements and Brownfield Site Rehabilitation Agreements with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (“FDEP”). The paper mill site has been rehabilitated by Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation in accordance with these agreements and a final Site Rehabilitation Completion Order (“SRCO”) issued by the FDEP has been received. The Company is in the process of assessing certain neighboring properties. Management is unable to quantify future rehabilitation costs above present accruals at this time or provide a reasonably estimated range of loss.
Other litigation, claims, disputes and governmental proceedings, including environmental matters, are pending against the Company. Accrued aggregate liabilities related to the matters described above and other litigation matters were
$2.4 million
and
$2.5 million
as of
June 30, 2016
and December 31,
2015
, respectively, including a
$1.2 million
accrual related to legal costs for the settled SEC investigation as of each such date. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether the amount of an exposure is reasonably estimable. Due to uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company's results of operations in a given period.
The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability and property damage, including its timber assets.
At
June 30, 2016
and December 31,
2015
, the Company was required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of
$6.2 million
and
$7.1 million
, respectively, and standby letters of credit in the amount of
$0.4 million
and
$0.5 million
, respectively, which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.
At
June 30, 2016
, the Company has a total of
$6.2 million
in contractual obligations, of which
$5.7 million
are for the remainder of 2016,
$0.1 million
are for 2017 and
$0.4 million
are for 2018 and thereafter.
In connection with the Refinanced Loan, the Company guaranteed the joint venture’s obligations under a short term
$6.6 million
letter of credit which is securing a portion of the joint venture’s obligations under the Refinanced Loan. See Note 9,
Real Estate Joint Ventures
for a further discussion on the Refinanced Loan.
As part of the AgReserves Sale in 2014 and certain sales of timberlands in 2007 and 2008, the Company generated significant tax gains. The installment notes structure allowed the Company to defer the resulting tax liability of
$61.8 million
until 2022 - 2024 and
$69.3 million
until 2029, respectively, the maturity dates for the installment notes. The Company has a deferred tax liability related to the gains in connection with these sales.
19. Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s real estate investments are concentrated in Northwest Florida in a number of specific development projects. Uncertain economic conditions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s real estate values and could cause the Company to sell assets at depressed values in order to pay ongoing expenses. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, investments, notes receivable, other receivables, investments held by special purpose entities and investments in retained interests. The Company deposits and invests cash with a major financial institution in the United States, which balances exceed the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of
June 30, 2016
, the Company had
$174.6 million
invested in U.S. Treasury securities,
$19.0 million
invested in
five
issuers of corporate debt securities that are non-investment grade,
$18.9 million
invested in
two
issuers of preferred stock that are non-investment grade and
$3.8 million
invested in

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Business Overview
We are a real estate development, asset management and operating company with real estate assets currently concentrated primarily between Tallahassee and Destin, Florida, which we predominantly use, or intend to use, for or in connection with, our various residential or commercial real estate developments, resorts and leisure operations, leasing operations or forestry operations on a limited basis. We have significant residential and commercial land-use entitlements in hand or in process. We seek higher and better uses for our real estate assets through a range of activities from strategic land planning and development, infrastructure improvements and promoting economic development in the regions where we operate. We may explore the sale of such assets opportunistically or when we believe that we can better deploy those resources.
Segments
We conduct primarily all of our business in the following
five
reportable operating segments: 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts and leisure, 4) leasing operations and 5) forestry.
The following table sets forth the relative contribution of these operating segments to our consolidated operating revenues during the three and
six
months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015

Segment Information
of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.
Residential Real Estate
Our residential real estate segment typically plans and develops mixed-use resort, primary residential and seasonal residential communities of various sizes, primarily on our existing land. The following is a description of some of our major residential development communities in Florida that we are currently in the process of planning or developing:
The Watersound Origins community
is a residential community in South Walton County, Florida, with direct access to Lake Powell. The project has received government approval for approximately 1,074 single-family units with an additional multi-family component, however, the actual number of units that we ultimately approve for development will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meets our investment return criteria and the availability of capital resources to fund such development. The Watersound Origins community includes a six-hole golf course that is operated by our resorts and leisure segment.
The Breakfast Point community
is a residential community in Panama City Beach, Florida. The project has received government approval for 368 single family units, however, the actual number of units that we ultimately approve for development will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meet our investment return criteria and the availability of capital resources to fund such development.
The SouthWood community
is a large scale, mixed use community located in the southeastern section of Tallahassee. The project has received government approval for 4,770 residential units, including 2,074 single family residences and 2,696 multi-family units, however, the actual number of units that we ultimately approve for development will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meet our investment return criteria and the availability of capital resources to fund such development. SouthWood also includes a golf clubhouse, 18-hole golf course and a town center with restaurants, retail shops and offices. The SouthWood Golf Club is operated by our resorts and leisure segment and a portion of the town center is leased and operated by our leasing segment.
We have other residential communities, such as the WaterColor, WaterSound Beach and WaterSound West Beach communities in addition to other communities that are substantially developed. The remaining developed and available homesites in these communities are available for sale.
The Bay-Walton Sector Plan was officially adopted by Bay County and Walton County in May 2015 and was found in compliance with state law and is therefore in effect as of June 2015. The Bay-Walton Sector Plan is a long term master plan that includes entitlements, or legal rights, to develop over 170,000 residential units and over 22 million square feet of retail, commercial and industrial uses on approximately 110,500 acres of our land holdings. We anticipate a wide range of residential and commercial uses on these land holdings, including some portion of these entitlements serving the active adult retirement market. We believe that there is a growing retirement demographic and that our development experience and the location, size and contiguous nature of our Florida land holdings provide us with strategic opportunities in this demographic. As is true with all of our projects, what will actually be developed will be a function of more detailed planning, analysis and market conditions, which will occur over time.
Our residential real estate segment generates revenues primarily from the sale of developed homesites; the sale of parcels of entitled, undeveloped land; a lot residual on homebuilder sales that provides us a percentage of the sale price of the completed home if the home price exceeds a negotiated threshold; the sale of impact fee credits; marketing fees and other fees on certain transactions.
Our customer base for the sale of developed homesites is primarily focused on homebuilders. Homebuilders generally buy more homesites in a single transaction but tend to buy on a more sporadic basis. As a result, we may experience volatility in the consistency and pace of our residential real estate sales. In addition, the mix of homesites that we sell consists mostly of homesites in our primary communities which typically have a lower price and gross profit margin than homesites in our resort communities.
Our residential real estate segment incurs cost of revenues primarily from costs directly associated with the land, development and construction of real estate sold and indirect costs such as development overhead, capitalized interest, marketing, project administration and selling costs.
As part of the April 2014 RiverTown real estate sale, the buyer, Mattamy, is obligated to pay impact fees. Based on Mattamy’s current development plans and St. Johns County’s current costs for impact fees, we estimate that we may receive $20.0 million to $26.0 million for the impact fees over the five-year period following the closing (most of which, we expect to receive at the end of that five-year period). However, the actual additional consideration received for the impact fees will be based on a variety of factors outside our control.
Commercial Real Estate
In our commercial real estate segment we plan, develop and entitle our land holdings for a variety of uses including a broad range of retail, office, hotel and industrial uses. We sell land for commercial and light industrial uses. From time to time, our commercial real estate segment also evaluates opportunities to maximize value by selling some of our resorts, leisure or operating properties.
Our commercial real estate segment generates revenues from the sale of developed and undeveloped land for retail, office, hotel and industrial uses, from the sale of undeveloped land or land with limited development and easements and the sale of commercial operating properties. Our commercial real estate segment incurs costs of revenues from costs directly associated with the land, development, construction and selling costs.
Resorts and Leisure
Our resorts and leisure segment features a diverse portfolio of hotels and vacation rentals, as well as golf courses, a beach club, marinas and other related resort amenities.
WaterColor Inn, Vacation Rentals and Other Management Services -
Our WaterColor Inn and vacation rentals generate revenue from (1) the WaterColor Inn and Resort and other management services, (2) our management of The Pearl Hotel, (3) our vacation rental business and (4) our restaurants. The WaterColor Inn incurs expenses from the cost of services and goods provided, personnel costs and third party management fees. Revenues generated for our management services of The Pearl Hotel include a management fee, fifty percent of certain resort fees and a percentage of The Pearl Hotel’s gross operating profit. Expenses include primarily internal administrative costs. Our vacation rental business generates revenues from the rental of private homes and other services, which includes the entire rental fee collected from the customer, including the homeowner’s portion. A percentage of the fee is remitted to the homeowner and presented in the cost of resorts and leisure revenues. The vacation rental business also incurs expenses from standard lodging personnel, such as front desk, reservations and marketing.
Clubs and Resorts -
Our clubs and resorts operations include our golf courses, beach club and resort facilities that generate revenues from memberships, daily play at those golf courses that are not part of our St. Joe Club & Resorts, merchandise sales and food and beverage sales and incur expenses from the services provided, maintenance of the golf course and beach club facilities, personnel costs and third party management fees.
St. Joe Club & Resorts includes our private membership club that provides members, participating homeowners and their rental guests access to our clubs. The focus is on creating a world class membership experience combined with the all-inclusive aspects of a four star/four diamond resort.
Marinas -
Our marinas generate revenues from boat slip rentals and fuel sales, and incur expenses from cost of services provided, maintenance of the marina facilities, personnel costs and third party management fees.
Leasing Operations
Our leasing operations generate revenues from leasing retail and commercial property, including properties located in our consolidated joint venture at Pier Park North, commerce parks and our industrial park, VentureCrossings, and incur expenses primarily from maintenance and management of these properties and personnel costs. Our Pier Park North joint venture also incurs interest and financing expenses related to its loan as described in
Note 9,
Real Estate Joint Ventures
.
Forestry
Our forestry segment focuses on the management of our timber holdings in Northwest Florida. We grow and sell sawtimber, wood fiber and forest products. We generate revenue from our forestry segment primarily from open market sales of timber. We sell product on site without the associated delivery costs. Our forestry segment generates revenues from the sale of wood fiber, sawtimber, standing timber and forest products. Our forestry segment incurs costs of revenues from internal costs of forestry management and property taxes.
Our forestry segment may also generate revenues from the sale of our timber holdings, undeveloped land or land with limited development and easements. Costs incurred as part of a sale of these lands may include the cost of timber, land, minimal development costs and selling costs.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience, available current market information and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, we evaluate the results of these estimates on an on-going basis. Management’s estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and our accounting estimates are subject to change.
Critical accounting policies that we believe reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are set forth in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. There have been no significant changes in these policies during the first
six
months of
2016
, however we cannot assure you that these policies will not change in the future.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for recently issued or adopted accounting standards, including the date of adoption and effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Seasonality
Our businesses may be affected by seasonal fluctuations. For example, revenues from our resorts and leisure operations are typically higher in the second and third quarters; however, they can vary depending on the timing of holidays and school breaks, including spring break.
In addition to the seasonality effect described above, variability in our results of operations is further heightened by the change in our customer mix in our residential real estate business from retail sales, which have a more consistent flow of revenues, to predominantly sales to homebuilders, who tend to buy multiple lots in sporadic transactions. Our commercial real estate projects are likewise subject to one-off sales and the development of specific projects depending on demand. These variables have caused, and may continue to cause, our operating results to vary significantly from period to period.

Real Estate Sales.
During the three months ended
June 30, 2016
, residential real estate sales increased
$1.8 million
or
45.0%
as compared to the same period in
2015
, primarily due to the mix of homesites sold in our resort home communities. During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2016
, residential real estate sales increased
$3.3 million
or
34.7%
as compared to the same period in
2015
, primarily due to a $3.4 million unimproved land sale and the mix of homesites sold in our communities.
During the three and
six
months ended
June 30, 2016
there were no commercial real estate sales. During the three and
six
months ended
June 30, 2015
, we had a total of two sales of commercial real estate totaling 10.5 acres for $4.7 million.
During the three months ended
June 30, 2016
, we sold approximately 511 acres of rural and timber land for $0.9 million. During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2016
, we sold approximately 605 acres of rural and timber land for $1.0 million. During the three and
six
months ended
June 30, 2015
, we sold approximately 3,330 acres of rural and timber land for $5.3 million. Revenues from rural land and commercial real estate can vary drastically from period to period.
Real Estate Sales Gross Profit
. During the three months ended
June 30, 2016
, gross profit was
$3.7 million
, or
55.2%
, as compared to
$7.4 million
or
52.9%
during the same period in
2015
. In addition, during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2016
, gross profit was
$9.1 million
, or
65.9%
, as compared to
$9.8 million
or
50.3%
during the same period in
2015
. During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2016
, the $3.4 million unimproved land sale had a gross profit of $3.3 million due to a low historical basis. Our gross profit margin can vary significantly from period to period depending on the type of property sold. Sales of rural and timber land typically have a lower basis than residential and commercial real estate sales. In addition, our basis in residential and commercial real estate can vary depending on the amount of development or other costs spent on the property.

, due to an increase in average room rates at both the WaterColor Inn and in the vacation rental program, along with an increase in average home size managed in the vacation rental program. Revenues from our resorts and leisure operations are typically higher in the second and third quarters; however, they can vary depending on the timing of holidays and school breaks, including spring break. Our gross margin has decreased during the three months ended
June 30, 2016
, primarily due to increased cost of sales in our vacation rental business, higher labor rates and hours worked as compared to the same period in 2015.

$1.6 million
, or
69.6%

June 30, 2016
, as compared to tons sold of
125,000

$2.2 million
, or

to

for the three months ended

Claim settlement.
Claim settlement consists of $12.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2016
due to a settlement related to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Other, net.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company expensed a total of
$7.4 million
related to the SEC investigation, which was resolved in October 2015.
Income tax expense/benefit.
We recorded income tax expense of
$1.0 million
during the three months ended
June 30, 2016
, as compared to income tax expense of
$1.9 million
during the same period in
2015
. Our effective tax rate was
35.1%
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
, as compared to
118.8%
during the same period in
2015
.
We recorded income tax expense of
$4.2 million
during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2016
, as compared to income tax expense of
$0.8 million
during the same period in
2015
. Our effective tax rate was
28.7%
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2016
, as compared to
66.7%
during the same period in
2015
.
Our effective rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, reflected our expectation that settlement costs related to the SEC investigation may not be deductible for income tax purposes, which increased our effective rate in 2015.

Months Ended
June 30, 2016
Compared to the

$0.5 million
, or
11.9%
, during the
six

Liquidity and Capital Resources

June 30, 2016
, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$183.5 million
, compared to

of money market funds. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, we consider our investments classified as available-for-sale securities, especially our investments in U.S. Treasury securities, as being generally available to meet our liquidity needs. Securities classified as available-for-sale securities are not as liquid as cash and cash equivalents, but they are generally convertible into cash within a relatively short period of time. As of
June 30, 2016
, we had investments in U.S. Treasuries of
$174.6 million
, investments in corporate debt securities of
$19.0 million
and preferred stock investments of
$22.7 million
as compared to investments in U.S. Treasuries of
$184.7 million
, investments in corporate debt securities of
$6.3 million
and preferred stock investments of
$0.2 million
as of
December 31, 2015
. As of
June 30, 2016
,
$8.5 million
of the
$19.0 million
corporate debt securities and
$0.2 million
of the
$22.7 million
preferred stock are issued by Sears Holdings Corp or affiliates.
Fairholme Capital Management, L.L.C., or one of its affiliates (“Fairholme Capital”) has served as our investment advisor since April 2013. Fairholme Capital receives no compensation for services to us. As of
June 30, 2016
, the funds managed by Fairholme Capital beneficially owned approximately
32.9%
of our common stock. Mr. Bruce Berkowitz is the Managing Member of Fairholme Capital and the Chairman of our Board of Directors.
Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Management Agreement with Fairholme Capital, as amended (the “Agreement”), Fairholme Capital agreed to supervise and direct the investments of an investment account established by us in accordance with the investment guidelines and restrictions approved by the Investment Committee of our Board of Directors. The investment guidelines are set forth in the Agreement and require that, as of the date of any investment: (i) at least 50% of the investment account be held in cash or cash equivalents, as defined in the Agreement, (ii) no more than 15% of the investment account may be invested in securities of any one issuer (excluding the U.S. Government) and (iii) any investment in any one issuer (excluding the U.S. Government) that exceeds 10%, but not 15%, requires the consent of at least two members of the Investment Committee. The investment account may not be invested in common stock securities.
We believe that our current cash position and our anticipated cash flows from cash equivalents, short term investments and cash generated from operations will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our anticipated working capital needs, expected capital expenditures and principal and interest payments on our long term debt for the next twelve months.
During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2016
, we incurred a total of
$4.8 million
for capital expenditures, which includes
$1.1 million
related to the Pier Park North joint venture, which is included in our leasing operations segment,
$1.2 million
related to the development of our residential and commercial real estate projects,
$1.3 million
for our leasing segment,
$0.5 million
related to our resorts and leisure segment and
$0.7 million
related primarily to our forestry and other segments.
Our remaining budgeted capital expenditures for
2016
are estimated to be $21.4 million, which includes $16.6 million primarily for the development and acquisition of land for our residential and commercial real estate projects, $0.6 million for our leasing segment, $2.9 million for our resorts and leisure segment and $1.3 million for our forestry and other segments. A portion of this spending is discretionary and will only be spent if we believe the risk adjusted return warrants the expenditures.
In October 2015, the Pier Park North joint venture refinanced its construction loan and entered into a $48.2 million loan. The Refinanced Loan accrues interest at a rate of 4.1% per annum and matures in November 2025. In connection with the Refinanced Loan, we entered into a limited guarantee in favor of the lender, based on our percentage ownership of the joint venture. In addition, the guarantee can become full recourse in the case of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Pier Park North joint venture; any voluntary transfer or encumbrance of the property in violation of the due-on-sale clause in the security instrument; upon commencement of voluntary or insolvency proceedings and upon breach of covenants in the security instrument.

CDD bonds financed the construction of infrastructure improvements in some of our projects. The principal and interest payments on the bonds are paid by assessments on, or from sales proceeds of, the properties benefited by the improvements financed by the bonds. We have recorded a liability for CDD assessments that are associated with platted property, which is the point at which the assessments become fixed or determinable. Additionally, we have recorded a liability for the balance of the CDD assessment that is associated with unplatted property if it is probable and reasonably estimable that we will ultimately be responsible for repaying. We have recorded debt of
$6.7 million
related to CDD debt as of
June 30, 2016
. Our total outstanding CDD assessments were
$22.1 million
at
June 30, 2016

$18.2 million
at SouthWood,
$3.0 million
at the existing Pier Park retail center,
$0.7 million
at Wild Heron,
$0.1 million
at Rivercrest and less than
$0.1 million
