FORESTAR GROUP INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Forestar Group Inc., all subsidiaries, ventures and other entities in which we have a controlling interest and variable interest entities of which we are the primary beneficiary. We eliminate all material intercompany accounts and transactions. Noncontrolling interests in consolidated pass-through entities are recognized before income taxes. We account for our investment in other entities in which we have significant influence over operations and financial policies using the equity method (we recognize our share of the entities’ income or loss and any preferential returns and treat distributions as a reduction of our investment). We account for our investment in other entities in which we do not have significant influence over operations and financial policies using the cost method (we recognize as income distributions of accumulated earnings).
We prepare our unaudited interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for interim financial statements. As a result, they do not include all the information and disclosures required for complete financial statements. However, in our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items unless otherwise noted. We make estimates and assumptions about future events. Actual results can, and probably will, differ from those we currently estimate including those related to allocating cost of sales to real estate, minerals and fiber and measuring assets for impairment. These interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. For further information, please read the financial statements included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In 2011, we reclassified $199,000 and $397,000 from cost of income producing properties to operating expenses in second quarter and first six months 2010 to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Note 2 — New and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2011
In first quarter 2011, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-28 — When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts and ASU 2010-29 — Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations . Adoption of these pronouncements did not affect our earnings or financial position.
Pending Accounting Standards
Pending ASU 2011-04 — Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs and ASU 2011-05 — Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income will be effective first quarter 2012. Adoption is not anticipated to have a significant effect on our earnings or financial position but will likely result in certain additional disclosures.
Note 3 — Strategic Initiatives and Assets Held for Sale
In 2009, we announced our near-term strategic initiatives to enhance shareholder value by generating significant cash flow, principally from the sale of 175,000 acres of higher and better use timberland; reducing debt by $150,000,000; and repurchasing up to 20 percent of our common stock.
Since announcing these initiatives, we have sold 119,000 acres of timber and timberland in Georgia, Alabama and Texas for $197,381,000 generating combined net proceeds of $191,891,000, which were principally used to reduce debt, pay taxes, reinvest in qualifying real estate and repurchase our common stock. These transactions resulted in a combined gain on sale of assets of $132,654,000. In 2010, we repurchased 1,000,987 shares of our common stock at a cost of $15,178,000. The repurchased shares are classified as treasury stock.
At second quarter-end 2011, assets held for sale includes 65,000 acres of undeveloped land with a carrying value of $18,024,000 and related timber with a carrying value of $7,564,000. We continue to actively market this land. Please read Note 19 for information regarding a sale of 50,000 acres of timberland subsequent to second quarter-end 2011.

Included in entitled, developed and under development projects are the estimated costs of assets we expect to convey to utility and improvement districts of $62,030,000 at second quarter-end 2011 and $59,079,000 at year-end 2010, including $36,552,000 included in both second quarter-end 2011 and year-end 2010 related to our Cibolo Canyons project near San Antonio, Texas. These costs relate to water, sewer and other infrastructure assets we have submitted to utility or improvement districts for approval and reimbursement. We submitted for reimbursement to these districts $2,336,000 in first six months 2011 and $1,827,000 in first six months 2010. We collected $187,000 from these districts in first six months 2011 and $183,000 in first six months 2010. We expect to collect the remaining amounts billed when these districts achieve adequate tax bases to support payment.
Also included in entitled, developed and under development projects is our investment in the resort development owned by third parties at our Cibolo Canyons project. In second quarter 2011, we received $1,603,000 from the Special Improvement District (SID) related to hotel occupancy revenues and other revenues from resort sales collected as taxes by the SID. We currently account for these collections as a reduction of our investment. At second-quarter-end 2011, we have $40,399,000 invested in the resort development.
Income producing properties principally represents our investment in a 401 unit multifamily property in Houston, Texas and a 413 room hotel in Austin, Texas. In addition, in second quarter 2011, we reclassified $4,555,000 in land from entitled, developed and under development projects to income producing properties as result of commencing construction on a 289 unit multifamily project in Austin, Texas. At second-quarter end 2011, our investment in this project, including land and construction in progress is $5,961,000, with an estimated additional cost to complete construction of $24,579,000.
We recognized asset impairment charges in second quarter 2011 of $450,000 related to a residential real estate project located near Dallas, Texas and $900,000 in second quarter 2010 related to a residential real estate project located near Salt Lake City, Utah.
Depreciation expense, primarily related to income producing properties, was $1,760,000 in first six months 2011 and $1,465,000 in first six months 2010 and is included in other operating expenses.
Note 5 — Timber
We own directly or through ventures approximately 201,000 acres of timber, primarily in Georgia. The cost of timber cut and sold was $524,000 in first six months 2011 and $692,000 in first six months 2010.

Note 7 — Investment in Unconsolidated Ventures
At second quarter-end 2011, we had ownership interests ranging from 25 to 50 percent in 10 ventures that we account for using the equity method. We have no real estate ventures that are accounted for using the cost method. Our three largest ventures at second quarter-end 2011 are CL Realty, Temco and Palisades West. We own a 50 percent interest in both CL Realty and Temco, and Cousins Real Estate Corporation owns the other 50 percent interest. We own a 25 percent interest in Palisades West, Cousins Properties Incorporated owns a 50 percent interest and Dimensional Fund Advisors LP owns the remaining 25 percent interest. Information regarding these ventures follows:
CL Realty, L.L.C. was formed in 2002 for the purpose of developing residential and mixed-use communities in Texas and across the southeastern United States. At second quarter-end 2011, the venture has 14 residential and mixed-use communities, of which 10 are in Texas, 3 are in Florida and 1 is in Georgia, representing approximately 5,200 planned residential lots and 290 commercial acres.
Temco Associates, LLC was formed in 1991 for the purpose of acquiring and developing residential real estate sites in Georgia. At second quarter-end 2011, the venture has 4 residential and mixed-use communities, representing approximately 1,550 planned residential lots, all of which are located in Paulding County, Georgia. The venture also owns 5,712 acres of undeveloped land in Paulding County, Georgia.
Palisades West LLC was formed in 2006 for the purpose of constructing a commercial office park in Austin, Texas. The project includes two office buildings totaling approximately 375,000 square feet and an accompanying parking garage. At second quarter-end 2011, the buildings are approximately 97 percent leased. Our remaining commitment for investment in this venture as of second quarter-end 2011 is $1,532,000. Effective fourth quarter 2008, we entered into a 10-year operating lease for approximately 32,000 square feet that we occupy as our corporate headquarters. In second quarter and first six months 2011, rents paid under this operating lease were $256,000 and $560,000 and are included in general and administrative and other operating expenses.

(b) Includes $43,678,000 of deferred income from leasehold improvements funded by tenants in excess of leasehold improvement allowances. These amounts are recognized as rental income over the lease term and are offset by depreciation expense related to these tenant improvements. There is no effect on venture net income.
(c) Our share of the equity in other ventures reflects our ownership interests ranging from 25 to 50 percent, excluding venture losses that exceed our investment where we are not obligated to fund those losses.
(d) Represents deferred gains on real estate contributed by us to ventures. We are recognizing income as real estate is sold to third parties. The deferred gains are reflected as a reduction to our investment in unconsolidated ventures.
In first six months 2011, we invested $1,135,000 in these ventures and received $4,354,000 in distributions; in first six months 2010, we invested $1,039,000 in these ventures and received $4,883,000 in distributions. Distributions include both return of investments and distributions of earnings.
At second quarter-end 2011, other ventures include three partnerships we participate in that have total assets of $51,504,000 and total liabilities of $82,740,000, which includes $67,532,000 of borrowings classified as current maturities. These partnerships are managed by third parties who intend to extend or refinance these borrowings; however, there is no assurance that this can be done. Although these borrowings may be guaranteed by third parties, we may under certain circumstances elect or be required to provide additional equity to these partnerships. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a significant effect on our earnings or financial position. Our investment in these partnerships is $2,751,000 at second quarter-end 2011. These three partnerships are variable interest entities. Please read Note 17 for additional information.
In second quarter and first six months 2011, CL Realty’s earnings include an impairment charge of $500,000 related to a residential real estate project located in Tampa, Florida.
In second quarter and first six months 2010, other ventures loss includes a $13,061,000 loss on sale of a golf course and country club property in Denton, Texas. This loss did not impact our equity in the earnings (loss) of this venture as we exclude losses that exceed our investment where we are not obligated to provide additional funding.
We have provided performance bonds and letters of credit on behalf of certain ventures totaling $1,447,000 at second quarter-end 2011. Generally these performance bonds and letters of credit would be drawn on due to lack of performance by us or the ventures, such as failure to timely deliver streets and utilities in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

In second quarter 2011, we acquired a non-performing loan from a financial institution for $21,137,000. The original loan commitment was $38,000,000 and the current principal balance outstanding is about $31,600,000. The loan matured in February 2010. The note is secured by a lien on 900 acres of developed and undeveloped real estate located near Houston, Texas designated for single-family residential and commercial development. We are not currently accruing interest and did not record any accretable yield at acquisition due to the non-performing status of the loan. We cannot estimate the anticipated future cash flows because the borrower is in bankruptcy.
Notes receivable generally are secured by a deed of trust and generally due within three years.
Receivables and accrued interest principally include miscellaneous operating receivables arising in the normal course of business.

Our senior credit facility and other debt agreements contain financial covenants customary for such agreements including minimum levels of interest coverage and limitations on leverage. At second quarter-end 2011, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of these agreements.
On February 23, 2011, we supplemented our amended and restated senior credit facility to add a new lender to the revolving loan and to the term loan increasing the aggregate commitment by $30,000,000. We incurred fees of $270,000 related to this additional commitment. In addition, on May 6, 2011, we amended our senior secured credit facility to provide us with additional flexibility and to make certain technical and other changes. We incurred fees of $583,500 related to this amendment.
At second quarter-end 2011, our senior credit facility provides for a $130,000,000 term loan and a $200,000,000 revolving line of credit. The term loan matures August 6, 2015, and the revolving line of credit matures August 6, 2013 (with a one-year extension option to August 6, 2014). The term loan includes a 2 percent prepayment penalty for payments in excess of $25,000,000 prior to August 6, 2011 and 1 percent prepayment penalty prior to February 6, 2012 and no prepayment penalty thereafter. The revolving line of credit may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The revolving line of credit includes a $100,000,000 sublimit for letters of credit, of which $3,467,000 is outstanding at second quarter-end 2011. Total borrowings under our senior credit facility (including the face amount of letters of credit) may not exceed a borrowing base formula. At second quarter-end 2011, we had $111,386,000 in net unused borrowing capacity under our senior credit facility.
At our option, we can borrow at LIBOR plus 4.5 percent (subject to a 2 percent LIBOR floor) or prime plus 2.5 percent. Borrowings under the senior credit facility are secured by (a) all timberland and minerals, (b) assignments of current and future leases, rents and contracts, including our mineral leases, (c) a security interest in our primary operating account, (d) pledge of the equity interests in current and future material operating subsidiaries or joint venture interests, or if such pledge is not permitted, a pledge of the right to distributions from such entities, to the extent permitted, and (e) negative pledge (without a mortgage) on all other wholly- owned assets. The senior credit facility provides for releases of real estate to be delivered provided that borrowing base compliance is maintained.

At second quarter-end 2011, directly and through consolidated ventures, we have $7,419,000 in unamortized deferred financing fees which are included in other assets. Amortization of deferred financing fees was $1,472,000 in first six months 2011 and $2,882,000 in first six months 2010 and is included in interest expense.
At second quarter-end 2011, a 401 unit multifamily project located in Houston, Texas with current book value of $47,337,000 is pledged as collateral for and is subject to liens in connection with a $26,500,000 loan. In second quarter 2011, we paid in full a $15,216,000 loan with borrowings from our revolving loan facility. This loan was secured by a 413 guest room hotel located in Austin, Texas.
At second quarter-end 2011, entitled, developed and under development projects having a book value of $116,492,000 are subject to liens in connection with $53,325,000 of principally non-recourse debt.
Note 10 — Fair Value
Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis principally include real estate assets and assets held for sale, which are measured for impairment. In second quarter 2011, a real estate asset was remeasured and reported at fair value due to events or circumstances that indicated the carrying value may not be recoverable. We determined estimated fair value based on the present value of future probability weighted cash flows expected from the sale of the long-lived asset. As a result, we recognized asset impairment of $450,000 in second quarter 2011. The carrying value of this asset may have subsequently increased or decreased from the fair value reflected due to activity that has occurred since the measurement date.

Note 11 — Capital Stock
Pursuant to our shareholder rights plan, each share of common stock outstanding is coupled with one-quarter of a preferred stock purchase right (Right). Each Right entitles our shareholders to purchase, under certain conditions, one one-hundredth of a share of newly issued Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $100. Rights will be exercisable only if someone acquires beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of our common shares or commences a tender or exchange offer, upon consummation of which they would beneficially own 20 percent or more of our common shares. We will generally be entitled to redeem the Rights at $0.001 per Right at any time until the 10th business day following public announcement that a 20 percent position has been acquired. The Rights will expire on December 11, 2017.
Please read Note 18 for information about additional shares of common stock that could be issued under terms of our share-based compensation plans.
As a result of the 2007 spin-offs from Temple-Inland, at second quarter-end 2011, personnel of Temple-Inland and the other spin-off entity held 19,000 awards that will be settled in our common stock and options to purchase 1,130,000 shares of our common stock.

Note 14 — Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was a 40 percent benefit in second quarter 2011 and a 37 percent benefit in first six months 2011, which includes a 2 percent non-cash charge for share-based compensation. Our effective tax rate was 6 percent in second quarter 2010 and an 18 percent benefit in first six months 2010, which included a 23 percent benefit attributable to noncontrolling interests. In addition, 2011 and 2010 effective tax rates include the effect of state income taxes, nondeductible items, noncontrolling interests and benefits of percentage depletion.
We have not provided a valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset because we believe it is likely it will be recoverable in future periods.
At second quarter-end 2011, our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $7,718,000, of which $6,343,000 would affect our effective tax rate if recognized.
Note 15 — 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 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. It is possible; however, 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. We own 288 acres near Antioch, California, portions of which were sites of a former Temple-Inland paper manufacturing operation that are in remediation. We estimate the cost to complete remediation activities will be approximately $1,940,000, which is included in other accrued expenses and will likely be paid in 2011 or 2012. Our estimate requires us to make assumptions regarding the scope of required remediation, the effectiveness of planned remediation activities, and approvals by regulatory authorities. Our estimate is subject to revision as new information becomes available.

Note 16 — Segment Information
We manage our operations through three business segments: real estate, mineral resources and fiber resources. Real estate secures entitlements and develops infrastructure on our lands for single-family residential and mixed-use communities, and manages our undeveloped land and income producing properties, primarily a hotel and a multifamily property. Mineral resources manages our oil, natural gas and water interests. Fiber resources manages our timber and recreational leases.

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 and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Items not allocated to our business segments consist of general and administrative expense, share-based compensation, gain on sale of assets, interest expense and other 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 revenues are derived from our U.S. operations and all of our assets are located in the U.S. In first six months 2011, no single customer accounted for more than 10 percent of our total revenues.

Note 17 — Variable Interest Entities
At second quarter-end 2011, we are the primary beneficiary of two VIEs that we consolidate. We have provided the majority of equity to these VIEs, which absent our contributions or advances do not have sufficient equity to fund their operations. We have the

13


Table of Contents

authority to approve project budgets and the issuance of additional debt. At second quarter-end 2011, our consolidated balance sheet includes $14,704,000 in assets, principally real estate and $5,002,000 in liabilities related to these two VIEs. In first six months 2011, we contributed or advanced $2,303,000 to these VIEs. In first six months 2010, real estate assets decreased by $11,865,000, debt decreased by $13,207,000 and other liabilities increased by $1,342,000 due to lender foreclosure of a lien on property owned by one of these VIEs. In second quarter 2011, our earnings benefited from a $1,342,000 reallocation of a previously recognized loss related to foreclosure of a lien on property in the above VIE. Based on our access to new information, we determined this loss and related liability should be allocated from us to the noncontrolling financial interests as we believe the likelihood we will be subject to any potential lender liabilities is remote. We have a nominal general partner interest in this VIE and could be held responsible for certain of its liabilities.
Also at second quarter-end 2011, we are not the primary beneficiary of three VIEs that we account for using the equity method. The unrelated managing partners oversee the day-to-day operations and guarantee some of the debt of the VIEs while we have the authority to approve project budgets and the issuance of additional debt. Although some of the debt is guaranteed by the managing partners, we may under certain circumstances elect or be required to provide additional funds to these VIEs. At second quarter-end 2011, these three VIEs have total assets of $51,504,000, substantially all of which represent developed and undeveloped real estate and total liabilities of $82,740,000, which includes $67,532,000 of borrowings classified as current maturities. These amounts are included in other ventures in the combined summarized balance sheet information for ventures accounted for using the equity method in Note 7. At second quarter-end 2011, our investment in these three VIEs is $2,751,000 and is included in investment in unconsolidated ventures. In first six months 2011, we contributed or advanced $114,000 to these VIEs. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs is estimated at $36,295,000, which exceeds our investment as we have a nominal general partner interest in two of these VIEs and could be held responsible for their liabilities. The maximum exposure to loss represents the maximum loss that we could be required to recognize assuming all the ventures’ assets (principally real estate) are worthless, without consideration of the probability of a loss or of any actions we may take to mitigate any such loss.

In second quarter and first six months 2011, the decrease in share-based compensation expense is primarily due to the impact of stock price changes on vested cash-settled awards.
The fair value of awards granted to retirement eligible employees and expensed at the date of grant was $654,000 in first six months 2011 and $286,000 in first six months 2010. Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested equity-settled awards, restricted stock and stock options is $9,519,000 at second quarter-end 2011. The weighted average period over which this amount will be recognized is estimated to be two years. We did not capitalize any share-based compensation in first six months 2011 or 2010.
In first six months 2011, we withheld 64,437 shares having a value of $1,216,000 in connection with vesting of restricted stock awards and exercises of stock options. In first six months 2010, we withheld 2,601 shares having a value of $49,000 in connection with vesting of restricted stock awards and exercises of stock options. These shares are included in treasury stock and are reflected in financing activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows.
A summary of the awards granted under our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan follows:
Cash-settled awards
Cash-settled awards granted to our employees in the form of restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights generally vest over three to four years from the date of grant and generally provide for accelerated vesting upon death, disability or if there is a change in

14


Table of Contents

control. Vesting for some restricted stock unit awards is also conditioned upon achievement of a minimum one percent annualized return on assets over a three-year period. Cash-settled stock appreciation rights have a ten-year term, generally become exercisable ratably over three to four years and provide for accelerated or continued vesting upon retirement, death, disability or if there is a change in control. Stock appreciation rights were granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of our stock on the date of grant.
Cash-settled awards granted to our directors in the form of restricted stock units are fully vested at the time of grant and payable upon retirement.
The following table summarizes the activity of cash-settled restricted stock unit awards in first six months 2011:

The fair value of awards settled in cash was $184,000 in first six months 2011 and $731,000 in first six months 2010. At second quarter-end 2011, the fair value of vested cash-settled awards is $14,296,000 and is included in other liabilities. The aggregate current value of non-vested cash-settled awards is $10,082,000 at second quarter-end 2011 based on a quarter-end stock price of $16.43.
Equity-settled awards
Equity-settled awards granted to our employees include restricted stock units (RSU), which vest ratably over three years from the date of grant, and beginning first quarter 2011, market-leveraged stock units (MSU), which vest after three years. The following table summarizes the activity of equity-settled awards in first six months 2011:

In first quarter 2011, we granted 124,700 MSU awards. These awards will be settled in common stock based upon our stock price performance over three years from the date of grant. The number of shares to be issued could range from a high of 187,050 shares if our stock price increases by 50 percent or more, to a low of 62,350 shares if our stock price decreases by 50 percent, or could be zero if our stock price decreases by more than 50 percent, the minimum threshold performance. MSU awards are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model, which includes expected stock price volatility and risk-free interest rate assumptions. Compensation expense is recognized regardless of achievement of performance conditions, provided the requisite service period is satisfied.
Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested equity-settled awards is $2,745,000 at second quarter-end 2011. The weighted average period over which this amount will be recognized is estimated to be three years.

Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards is $3,204,000 at second quarter-end 2011. The weighted average period over which this amount will be recognized is estimated to be two years.
Stock options
Stock options have a ten-year term, generally become exercisable ratably over three to four years and provide for accelerated or continued vesting upon retirement, death, disability or if there is a change in control. Options were granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of our stock on the date of grant. The following table summarizes the activity of stock option awards in first six months 2011:

Weighted average estimated fair value of options granted
$ 10.11 $ 8.98
We have limited historical experience as a stand-alone company so we utilized alternative methods in determining our valuation assumptions. The expected life was based on the simplified method utilizing the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual life of the awards. In 2011, the expected stock price volatility was based on a blended rate utilizing our historical volatility and historical prices of our peers’ common stock for a period corresponding to the expected life of the options. In 2010, the expected stock price volatility was based on historical prices of our peers’ common stock for a period corresponding to the expected life of the options. Pre-vesting forfeitures are estimated based upon the pool of participants and their expected activity and historical trends.
Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options is $3,570,000 at second quarter-end 2011. The weighted average period over which this amount will be recognized is estimated to be three years.
Pre-Spin Awards
Certain of our employees participated in Temple-Inland’s share-based compensation plans. In conjunction with the 2007 spin-off, these awards were equitably adjusted into separate awards of the common stock of Temple-Inland and the spin-off entities.

Strategy
Our strategy is:
Recognizing and responsibly delivering the greatest value from every acre; and
Growing through strategic and disciplined investments.
In 2009, we announced our near-term strategic initiatives to enhance shareholder value by generating significant cash flow, principally from the sale of 175,000 acres of higher and better use (HBU) timberland; reducing debt by $150,000,000; and repurchasing up to 20 percent of our common stock.
Since announcing these initiatives, we have sold 119,000 acres of timber and timberland in Georgia, Alabama and Texas for $197,381,000 generating combined net proceeds of $191,891,000, which were principally used to reduce debt, pay taxes, reinvest in qualifying real estate and repurchase our common stock. These transactions resulted in a combined gain on sale of assets of $132,654,000. In addition, in 2010, we repurchased 1,000,987 shares of our common stock at a cost of $15,178,000. The repurchased shares are classified as treasury stock.
At second quarter-end 2011, assets held for sale under these strategic initiatives includes 65,000 acres of undeveloped land with a carrying value of $18,024,000 and related timber with a carrying value of $7,564,000. We continue to actively market this land.
On August 5, 2011, we completed our previously announced sale of 50,000 acres of timber and timberland in Georgia and Alabama to Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc. for $75,000,000 in a cash transaction.

Significant aspects of our results of operations follow:
Second Quarter and First Six Months 2011 and 2010
Second quarter 2011 real estate segment earnings was negatively impacted by lower undeveloped land sales volume and prices as a result of current market conditions. Second quarter and first six months 2011 real estate earnings benefited from increased residential lot sales volume and prices and reallocation from us to noncontrolling financial interests of a previously recognized $1,342,000 loss related to foreclosure of a lien on a property owned by a consolidated venture, which partially offset lower levels of undeveloped land sales.
Second quarter and first six months 2011 mineral resources segment earnings declined primarily due to increased costs associated with developing our water resources initiatives.
Second quarter and first six months 2011 general and administrative expense includes $2,730,000 associated with proposed private debt offerings that we withdrew as a result of deterioration of terms available to us in the credit markets.
Second quarter and first six months 2011 share-based compensation decreased primarily due to the effect of our lower stock price associated with vested cash-settled awards.
Current Market Conditions
Current U.S. market conditions in the single-family residential industry continue to be difficult, characterized by product oversupply, low consumer confidence, depressed sales volumes and prices, difficult financing environment for purchasers, and high unemployment rates. While all markets are being negatively affected by overall poor economic conditions, not all geographic areas and products have been affected to the same extent or with equal severity. These difficult market conditions may continue throughout 2011. Multifamily market conditions are improving, with many markets experiencing increased occupancy levels and positive rent growth. This improvement has been driven primarily by limited new construction activity, reduced mortgage credit availability, and the increased propensity to rent among the millenial generation of the U.S. population.
Oil prices have increased. This may be due to fears of supply disruptions and expectations that global economic growth will tighten supplies. Natural gas prices have remained soft. Shale resource drilling and production remains strong and working gas inventories are expected to remain relatively high. In our area of operations in the East Texas Basin, exploration and production companies continue to focus drilling on natural gas prospects in order to extend and hold existing mineral leases. In the Gulf Coast Basin, in Louisiana, activity has increased as operators have shifted exploration efforts to oil and high liquid natural gas plays. These conditions may impact the demand for new mineral leases, new exploration activity and the amount of royalty revenues we receive.
Pulpwood demand is relatively stable in our markets. Sawtimber prices remain depressed due to decreased demand for lumber as a result of lower new home construction activity and overall higher fiber inventories.

Business Segments
We manage our operations through three business segments:
Real estate,
Mineral resources, and
Fiber resources.
We evaluate performance based on earnings (loss) before unallocated items and income taxes. Segment earnings (loss) consist of operating income, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated ventures and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Items not allocated to our business segments consist of general and administrative expenses, share-based compensation, gain on sale of assets, interest expense and other 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.
We operate in cyclical industries. 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, changes in the market prices for oil, natural gas, and timber, and the overall strength or weakness of the U.S. economy.
Real Estate
We own directly or through ventures over 217,000 acres of real estate located in nine states and 12 markets. Our real estate segment secures entitlements and develops infrastructure on our lands, primarily for single-family residential and mixed-use communities. We own 165,000 acres in a broad area around Atlanta, Georgia, with the balance located primarily in Texas. We target investments principally in our strategic growth corridors, regions across the southern half of the United States that possess key demographic and growth characteristics that we believe make them attractive for long-term real estate investment. We own and manage our projects either directly or through ventures. Our real estate segment revenues are principally derived from the sales of residential single-family lots, undeveloped land and commercial real estate and to a lesser degree from the operation of income producing properties, primarily a hotel and a multifamily property.

In second quarter and first six months 2010, cost of sales include a $900,000 non-cash impairment charge related to a residential real estate project located near Salt Lake City, Utah.
In second quarter and first six months 2011, segment earnings include a benefit of $1,342,000 associated with reallocation of a previously recognized loss related to foreclosure of a lien on a property owned by a consolidated venture. Based on new information, we determined this loss should be allocated from us to the noncontrolling financial interests as we believe the likelihood we will be subject to any potential lender liabilities is remote.

Table of Contents

Residential real estate revenues principally consist of the sale of single-family lots to national, regional and local homebuilders. In second quarter and first six months 2011, residential real estate revenues increased principally as a result of increased lot sales volume due to demand for finished lot inventory by homebuilders in markets where supply has diminished and increased prices due to a higher mix of larger lots sold.
In second quarter and first six months 2011, undeveloped land sales decreased due to lower volume and prices from our retail land sales program as a result of current market conditions primarily resulting from limited credit availability, low consumer confidence and alternate investment options to buyers in the marketplace.
In second quarter and first six months 2011, income producing properties revenue principally increased as a result of our fourth quarter 2010 acquisition of a 401 unit multifamily property located in Houston, Texas.

We underwrite development projects based on a variety of assumptions incorporated into our development plans, including the timing and pricing of lot sales and commercial parcels, 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
We own directly or through ventures 603,000 net acres of mineral interests. Our mineral resources segment revenues are principally derived from royalties and other revenues from our oil and natural gas mineral interests located principally in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama. At second quarter-end 2011, we have 64,000 net acres under lease and 30,000 net acres held by production from 501 oil and natural gas wells owned and operated by exploration and production companies.

In second quarter and first six months 2011, royalty revenues increased as a result of higher oil prices partially offset by decreases in natural gas prices and production in owned and consolidated properties. In second quarter 2011, changes in net oil and natural gas prices contributed $582,000 which was essentially offset by decreases in net oil and natural gas production of $576,000 as compared to second quarter 2010. In first six months 2011, changes in net oil and natural gas prices contributed $739,000 which was partially offset by decreases in natural gas production of $425,000 as compared to first six months 2010.
In second quarter 2011, other revenues include $475,000 in lease bonus payments as a result of leasing over 2,500 net mineral acres for an average of $187 per acre, of which 1,500 net mineral acres had no lease bonus payment in return for a short-term drilling commitment from the operator. In addition, other revenues include delay rental payments of $70,000 in second quarter 2011 and $762,000 in second quarter 2010.
In first six months 2011, other revenues include $2,132,000 in lease bonus payments as a result of leasing nearly 7,400 net mineral acres for an average of $289 per acre, $1,555,000 related to mineral seismic exploration agreement associated with 31,100 acres in Louisiana and $226,000 related to delay rental payments. In first six months 2010, other lease revenues include $3,185,000 in lease bonus payments as a result of leasing over 2,100 net mineral acres for an average of $1,495 per acre in the East Texas Basin and $1,194,000 related to delay rental payments.

In addition, we have water interests in 1,600,000 acres, including a 45 percent nonparticipating royalty interest in groundwater produced or withdrawn for commercial purposes or sold from 1,400,000 acres in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama and 17,800 acres of ground water leases in central Texas. We have not received significant income from these interests.
Fiber Resources
Our fiber resources segment focuses principally on the management of our timber holdings and recreational leases. We own directly or through ventures 201,000 acres of timber, primarily in Georgia, and 17,000 acres of timber under lease. Our fiber resources segment revenues are principally derived from the sales of wood fiber from our land and leases for recreational uses. We sold over 140,000 acres of undeveloped land in 2010 and 2009 through our retail land sales program and as a result of our strategic initiatives. In addition, we are delaying harvest plans and actively marketing 65,000 acres classified as held for sale. As a result of the reduced acreage from executing these land sales, future segment revenues and earnings are anticipated to be lower.

In second quarter and first six months 2011, professional services include $2,730,000 of expenses associated with proposed private debt offerings that we withdrew as a result of deterioration in terms available to us in the capital markets.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was a 40 percent benefit in second quarter 2011 and a 37 percent benefit in first six months 2011, which includes a 2 percent non-cash charge for share-based compensation. Our effective tax rate was 6 percent in second quarter 2010 and an 18 percent benefit in first six months 2010, which included a 23 percent benefit attributable to noncontrolling interests. In addition, 2011 and 2010 effective tax rates include the effect of state income taxes, nondeductible items, noncontrolling interests and benefits of percentage depletion.
We have not provided a valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset because we believe it is likely it will be recoverable in future periods.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Sources and Uses of Cash
We operate in cyclical industries and our cash flows fluctuate accordingly. Our principal operating cash requirements are for the acquisition and development of real estate, either directly or indirectly through ventures, taxes, interest and compensation. Our principal sources of cash are proceeds from the sale of real estate and timber, the cash flow from minerals and income producing properties, borrowings, and reimbursements from utility and improvement districts. 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, and by the timing of oil and natural gas leasing and production activities. Working capital is subject to operating needs, the timing of sales of real estate and timber, the timing of collection of mineral royalties or mineral lease payments, collection of receivables, reimbursement from utility and improvement districts and the payment of payables and expenses.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from our real estate development activities, undeveloped land sales, income producing properties, timber sales, mineral and recreational leases and reimbursements from utility and improvement districts are classified as operating cash flows.
In first six months 2011, net cash (used for) operating activities was ($33,930,000) which is principally due to our acquisition from a financial institution of a non-performing loan secured by a lien on 900 acres of developed and undeveloped land near Houston, Texas

Table of Contents

for $21,137,000, our investment in undeveloped land in San Antonio, Texas for $7,900,000 and our payment of $7,596,000 in federal and state income taxes, net of refunds. In first six months 2010, net cash (used for) operating activities was ($18,873,000) principally consisting of funding a $10,000,000 loan to a third-party equity investor in the JW Marriott ® San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa and income taxes of $10,986,000.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Capital contributions to and capital distributions from unconsolidated ventures and business acquisitions are classified as investing activities. In addition, proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, software costs and expenditures related to reforestation activities are also classified as investing activities.
In first six months 2011, net cash (used for) investing activities was ($3,501,000) and is principally related to $2,112,000 invested in oil and gas properties as non-operating working interests, $883,000 in net contributions to unconsolidated ventures and $899,000 in property, equipment, software and reforestation. In first six months 2010, net cash provided by investing activities was $4,955,000. We received $2,602,000 in proceeds related to the sale of our undivided interest in corporate aircraft and $3,745,000 in net distributions from our unconsolidated ventures.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
In first six months 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $37,780,000. The net increase in our debt of $39,236,000 was principally used to fund our expenditures for acquisitions and development. In first six months 2010, net cash (used for) financing activities was ($774,000) as our repayments of debt principally offset our additions to debt.
Liquidity
On February 23, 2011, we supplemented our amended and restated senior credit facility to add a new lender to the revolving loan and to the term loan increasing the aggregate commitment by $30,000,000. We incurred fees of $270,000 related to this additional commitment. In addition, on May 6, 2011, we amended our senior secured credit facility to provide us with additional flexibility and to make certain technical and other changes. We incurred fees of $583,500 related to this amendment.
At second quarter-end 2011, our senior credit facility provides for a $130,000,000 term loan and a $200,000,000 revolving line of credit. The term loan matures August 6, 2015, and the revolving line of credit matures August 6, 2013 (with a one-year extension option to August 6, 2014). The term loan includes a 2 percent prepayment penalty for payments in excess of $25,000,000 prior to August 6, 2011 and 1 percent prepayment penalty prior to February 6, 2012 and no prepayment penalty thereafter. The revolving line of credit may be prepaid at any time without penalty. At second quarter-end 2011, we had $111,386,000 in net unused borrowing capacity under our senior credit facility. Our unused borrowing capacity during first six months 2011 ranged from a high of $168,113,000 to a low of $111,386,000. This facility is used primarily to fund our operating cash needs, which fluctuate due to timing of residential real estate sales, undeveloped land sales, mineral lease bonus payments, timber sales, payment of payables and expenses and capital expenditures.
Our senior credit facility and other debt agreements contain financial covenants customary for such agreements including minimum levels of interest coverage and limitations on leverage. At second quarter-end 2011, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of these agreements.
The following table details our compliance with the financial covenants calculated as provided in the senior credit facility:
Second
Quarter-End
Financial Covenant Requirement 2011
Interest Coverage Ratio (a)
≥ 1.05:1.0 3.57:1.0
Revenues/Capital Expenditures Ratio (b)
≥ 1.00:1.0 3.39:1.0
Total Leverage Ratio (c)
≤ 40 % 24 %
Net Worth (d)
> $411 million $500 million
Collateral Value to Loan Commitment Ratio (e)
≥ 1.60:1.0 2.00 :1.0
(a) Calculated as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation 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 gross revenues, plus our pro rata share of the operating revenues from unconsolidated ventures, divided by capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are defined as consolidated development and acquisition expenditures plus our pro rata share of unconsolidated ventures’ development and acquisition expenditures. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter on a rolling four quarter basis.

26


Table of Contents

(c) Calculated as total funded debt divided by adjusted asset value. Total funded debt includes indebtedness for borrowed funds, secured liabilities and reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit or similar instruments. Adjusted asset value is defined as the sum of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, timberlands, high value timberlands, raw entitled lands, entitled land under development, minerals business, 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.
(d) Calculated as the amount by which consolidated total assets exceeds consolidated total liabilities. At second quarter-end 2011, the requirement is $411,000,000, computed as: $411,000,000, 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. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter.
(e) Calculated as the total collateral value of timberland, high value timberland and our minerals business, divided by total aggregate loan commitment. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter.
To make additional investments, acquisitions, or distributions, we must maintain available liquidity equal to the lesser of $35,000,000 or 10% of the aggregate commitments in place. At second quarter-end 2011, this requirement was $33,000,000 resulting in $115,066,000 in available liquidity, which represents our unused borrowing capacity under our senior 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 credit facility.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In second quarter 2011, we began construction on a 289 unit multifamily project in Austin, Texas in which the estimated cost at completion, including land, is approximately $30,540,000. At second quarter-end 2011, our investment in this project is $5,961,000 and is included in real estate on our balance sheet.
At second quarter-end 2011, we participate in three partnerships that have total assets of $51,504,000 and total liabilities of $82,740,000, which includes $67,532,000 of borrowings classified as current maturities. These partnerships are managed by third parties who intend to extend or refinance these borrowings; however, there is no assurance that this can be done. Although these borrowings are guaranteed by third parties, we may under certain circumstances elect or be required to provide additional equity to these partnerships. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a significant effect on our earnings or financial position. Our investment in these partnerships is $2,751,000 at second quarter-end 2011. These three partnerships are variable interest entities.
Cibolo Canyons — San Antonio, Texas
Cibolo Canyons consists of the JW Marriott ® San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa development owned by third parties and a mixed-use development we own. We have $87,288,000 invested in Cibolo Canyons at second quarter-end 2011.
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, which includes a 1,002 room destination resort and two PGA Tour ® Tournament Players Club ® (TPC) golf courses. Under these agreements, we agreed to transfer to third party owners 700 acres of undeveloped land, to provide $30,000,000 cash and to provide $12,700,000 of other consideration principally consisting of golf course construction materials, substantially all of which has been provided.
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 a legislatively created Special Improvement District (SID). This agreement includes the right to receive from the SID 9 percent of hotel occupancy revenues and 1.5 percent of other resort sales revenues collected as taxes by the SID through 2034. The amount we receive will be net of annual ad valorem tax reimbursements by the SID to the third party owners of the resort through 2020. In addition, these payments will be net of debt service, if any, on bonds issued by the SID collateralized by hotel occupancy tax 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 any applicable debt service incurred by the SID. As a result, there is significant uncertainty as to the amount and timing of collections under this agreement. Until these uncertainties are clarified, amounts collected under the agreement will be accounted for as a reduction of our investment in the resort development. The resort began operations on January 22, 2010.
In second quarter 2011, we received $1,603,000 from the SID related to hotel occupancy revenues and other revenues from resort sales collected as taxes by the SID. To date, we have received $2,603,000 in reimbursements and have accounted for this as a reduction of our investment. At second quarter-end 2011, we have $40,399,000 invested in the resort development.

Mixed-Use Development
The mixed-use development we own consists of 2,100 acres planned to include approximately 1,420 residential lots and 220 commercial acres designated for multifamily and retail uses, of which 679 lots and 68 commercial acres have been sold through second quarter-end 2011.
In 2007, we entered into an agreement with the SID providing for reimbursement of certain infrastructure costs related to the mixed-use development. Reimbursements are subject to review and approval by the SID and unreimbursed amounts accrue interest at 9.75 percent. The SID’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. Through second quarter-end 2011, we have submitted and received approval for reimbursement of approximately $57,322,000 of infrastructure costs and have received reimbursements totaling $20,770,000. At second quarter-end 2011, we have $36,552,000 in approved and pending reimbursements, excluding interest.
Since the amount of each reimbursement is dependent on several factors, including timing of SID approval and the SID 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 reimbursements under this agreement. We expect to recover our investment from lot and tract sales and reimbursement of approved infrastructure costs from the SID. We have not recognized income from interest due, but not collected. As these uncertainties are clarified, we will modify our accounting accordingly.
At second quarter-end 2011, we have $46,889,000 invested in the mixed-use development.

(a) A project is deemed entitled when all major discretionary governmental land-use approvals have been received. Some projects may require additional permits and/or non-governmental authorizations for development.
(b) Interest owned reflects our net equity interest in the project, whether owned directly or indirectly. There are some projects that have multiple ownership structures within them. Accordingly, portions of these projects may appear as owned, consolidated or accounted for using the equity method.
(c) Lots are for the total project, regardless of our ownership interest. Lots remaining represent vacant developed lots, lots under development and future planned lots and are subject to change based on business plan revisions.
(d) Commercial acres are for the total project, regardless of our ownership interest, and are net developable acres, which may be fewer than the gross acres available in the project.
(e) The Lantana project consists of a series of 20 partnerships in which our voting interests range from 25 percent to 55 percent. We account for three of these partnerships using the equity method and we consolidate the remaining partnerships.
(f) Excludes acres associated with commercial and income producing properties.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest rate risk is principally related to our variable-rate debt. Interest rate changes impact earnings due to the resulting increase or decrease in the cost of our variable-rate debt, which is $230,894,000 at second quarter-end 2011 and $191,658,000 at year-end 2010.
The following table illustrates the estimated effect on our pre-tax income of immediate, parallel, and sustained shifts in interest rates for the next 12 months on our variable-rate debt at second quarter-end 2011, with comparative year-end 2010 information. This estimate assumes that debt reductions from contractual payments will be replaced with short-term, variable-rate debt; however, that may not be the financing alternative we choose.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
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 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 are 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 are 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 Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any 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 report 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 doing 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, 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 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 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as follows:
If the Temple-Inland mill complex in Rome, Georgia were to permanently cease operations, the price we receive for our wood fiber may decline, and the cost of delivering logs to alternative customers could increase.
Prior to our 2007 spin-off from Temple-Inland Inc. (“Temple-Inland”), we entered into an agreement to sell wood fiber to Temple-Inland at market prices, primarily for use at Temple-Inland’s Rome, Georgia mill complex. The agreement expires in 2013, although the purchase and sale commitments (including the sale price) are established annually based on our annual harvest plan. A significant portion of our fiber resources revenues are generated though this agreement. The Temple-Inland Rome mill complex is a significant consumer of wood fiber within the immediate area in which a substantial portion of our Georgia timberlands are located. If Temple-Inland was to permanently cease operations at its Rome, Georgia mill complex (although we have no indication that it intends to do so), was not willing to pay for wood fiber at a price we deem acceptable or was to cease purchasing wood fiber from us after the expiration of our agreement in 2013, we may not be able to enter into agreements with alternative customers for the wood fiber, any agreements with alternative customers we do enter into may be for lower rates than we currently receive from Temple-Inland and the cost of delivering wood fiber to such alternative customers could increase.
Our ability to harvest and deliver timber may be affected by our sales of timberland and may be subject to other limitations, which could adversely affect our operations.
As of August 8, 2011, we have sold 169,000 acres of our timberland in accordance with our near-term strategic initiatives announced in 2009, and we own directly or through ventures about 151,000 acres of timberland. Sales of our timberland reduce the amount of timber that we have available for harvest.
In addition, weather conditions, timber growth cycles, access limitations, availability of contract loggers and haulers, and regulatory requirements associated with the protection of wildlife and water resources may restrict harvesting of timberlands as may other factors, including damage by fire, insect infestation, disease, prolonged drought, flooding and other natural disasters. Although damage from such natural causes usually is localized and affects only a limited percentage of the timber, there can be no assurance that any damage affecting our timberlands will in fact be so limited. As is common in the forest products industry, we do not maintain insurance coverage with respect to damage to our timberlands.
The revenues, income and cash flow from operations for our fiber resources segment are dependent to a significant extent on the pricing of our products and our continued ability to harvest timber at adequate levels.
