Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

1.	Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items or items discussed herein) that management believes necessary to fairly state results of interim operations, should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (including the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for such year (the “2010 10-K”). Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of operations. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 was extracted from the audited annual financial statements and does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements.

Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to be consistent with the 2011 presentation.

There were no material operating revenues associated with these activities; however, other income for the three month 2011 period includes $1,990,000 with respect to government grants to reimburse the Company for certain of its prior expenditures, which were fully expensed as incurred.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the Manufacturing and Other Operations segments include amounts classified as cost of sales.

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, interest expense was primarily comprised of Corporate; interest expense for other segments was not material.

Investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting are initially recorded at their original cost and subsequently increased for the Company's share of the investees’ earnings, decreased for the Company's share of the investees’ losses, reduced for dividends received and impairment charges recorded, if any, and increased for any additional investment of capital.

In accordance with GAAP, the Company is allowed to choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value (the “fair value option”) that would not otherwise be required to be measured at fair value. If the fair value option is elected for a particular financial instrument or other item, the Company is required to report unrealized gains and losses on those items in earnings. The Company’s investments in ACF (which was sold on October 1, 2010) and Jefferies were the only eligible items for which the fair value option was elected, commencing on the date the investments became subject to the equity method of accounting. If these investments were accounted for under the equity method, the Company would have to record its share of their results of operations employing a quarterly reporting lag because of the investees’ public reporting requirements. In addition, electing the fair value option eliminates some of the uncertainty involved with impairment considerations, since quoted market prices for these investments provides a readily determinable fair value at each balance sheet date. The Company’s investment in HomeFed is the only other investment in an associated company that is also a publicly traded company but for which the Company did not elect the fair value option. HomeFed’s common stock is not listed on any stock exchange, and price information for the common stock is not regularly quoted on any automated quotation system. It is traded in the over-the-counter market with high and low bid prices published by the National Association of Securities Dealers OTC Bulletin Board Service; however, trading volume is minimal. For these reasons the Company did not elect the fair value option for HomeFed.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company owns approximately 28% of the outstanding common shares of Jefferies, a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (Symbol: JEF). In April 2011, in connection with Jefferies’ sale of approximately 20,600,000 common shares in a public offering, the Company purchased 5,154,639 Jefferies common shares for cash consideration of $125,000,000. As a result, the Company’s percentage ownership interest of Jefferies common shares declined to 27.5%.

The following tables provide summarized data with respect to significant investments in associated companies. The information is provided for those investments whose current relative significance to the Company could result in the Company including separate audited financial statements for such investments in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The 2011 information for Jefferies is for the three month period ended February 28, 2011.

Under GAAP, JHYH is considered a variable interest entity that is consolidated by Jefferies, since Jefferies is the primary beneficiary. The Company owns less than half of JHYH’s capital, including its indirect interest through its investment in Jefferies. The Company has not provided any guarantees, nor is it contingently liable for any of JHYH’s liabilities, all of which are non-recourse to the Company. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its investment in JHYH is limited to the book value of its investment plus any additional capital it decides to invest.

At March 31, 2011, the Company owns 247,986,000 common shares of Fortescue, representing approximately 8% of Fortescue’s outstanding common shares. Fortescue is a publicly traded company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (Symbol: FMG). As more fully discussed in the 2010 10-K, the Company’s investment in Fortescue also includes a $100,000,000 unsecured note of FMG that matures in August 2019 (the “FMG Note”). Interest on the FMG Note is calculated as 4% of the revenue, net of government royalties, invoiced from the iron ore produced from the project’s Cloud Break and Christmas Creek areas, which commenced production in May 2008. Interest is payable semi-annually within thirty days of June 30 th and December 31 st of each year. The Company accounts for the FMG Note as two components: a thirteen year zero-coupon note and a prepaid mining interest. The zero-coupon note component of this investment is accounted for as a loan-like instrument, with income being recognized as the note is accreted up to its face value. The prepaid mining interest, which is being amortized to expense as the revenue is earned, is classified as other current and non-current assets with an aggregate balance of $162,205,000 and $164,321,000 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of operations related to the FMG Note are as follows (in thousands):

	March 31,		March 31,
	2011		2010

Classified as investment and other income:
Interest income on FMG Note	$	37,413	$	21,668
Interest accreted on zero-coupon note component	$	1,083	$	962

Amortization expense on prepaid mining interest	$	2,116	$	2,324

For information concerning litigation brought by the Company concerning the FMG Note, see the 2010 10-K.

At March 31, 2011, the Company owns 11,042,413 common shares of Inmet, representing approximately 18% of Inmet’s outstanding shares. Inmet is a Canadian-based global mining company traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (Symbol: IMN). The previously announced merger agreement between Inmet and Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin”) was terminated in March 2011; accordingly, the voting and support agreement the Company entered into with Lundin, which restricted the Company’s ability to sell its Inmet shares, was also terminated. The Toronto Stock Exchange selling restrictions pertaining to the Inmet shares acquired in 2010 expired in April 2011.

The non-current other investments in bond securitizations are acquisitions of impaired loans, generally at a significant discount to face amounts. The Company estimates the future cash flows for the securitization interests to determine the accretable yield; increases in estimated cash flows are accounted for as a yield adjustment on a prospective basis but decreases in estimated cash flows below amortized cost are recognized as impairments. Contractual cash flows in excess of estimated cash flows are not part of the accretable yield. The market for these securities is highly illiquid and they rarely trade. On a regular basis the Company re-estimates future cash flows and records impairment charges if appropriate. The remaining other non-publicly traded investments are accounted for under the cost method of accounting, reduced for impairment charges when appropriate.

The Company contributed $1,990,000 to its defined benefit pension plan during the three month period ended March 31, 2011.

Several subsidiaries provide certain healthcare and other benefits to certain retired employees under plans which are currently unfunded. The Company pays the cost of postretirement benefits as they are incurred. Amounts charged to expense were not material in each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

9.	Share-Based Compensation

Salaries and incentive compensation expense included $1,024,000 and $2,014,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for share-based compensation expense principally relating to grants previously made under the Company’s fixed stock option plan, and for the 2010 period, the Company’s 2006 senior executive warrant plan.

In February 2011, each of the Company’s Chairman and President exercised warrants to purchase 2,000,000 common shares at an exercise price of $28.515 per share, on a cashless exercise basis, pursuant to which they each received 261,599 common shares (determined using a value per share of $32.806 as set forth in the warrant). The warrants had been granted in March 2006, subject to shareholder approval, which was received in May 2006. The warrants were scheduled by their terms to expire on March 5, 2011. All of the common shares obtained upon exercise of the warrants were immediately sold in a private transaction.

On March 7, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors granted warrants to purchase 2,000,000 common shares to each of the Company’s Chairman and President at an exercise price of $33.84 per share (105% of the closing price per share of a common share on the grant date). Issuance of the warrants is subject to shareholder approval of the 2011 Warrant Plan, which is being sought at the Company’s annual meeting in May 2011. The warrants expire in 2016 and vest in five equal tranches with 20% vesting on the date shareholder approval is received and an additional 20% vesting in each subsequent year. If shareholder approval is received, compensation cost will be determined as of the approval date and recognized in the financial statements over the vesting period of the warrants.

10.	Income Taxes

The aggregate amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2011 was $9,400,000 (including $3,100,000 for interest); if recognized, such amounts would lower the Company’s effective tax rate. Over the next twelve months, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that the aggregate amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions will decrease by approximately $500,000 upon the resolution of certain assessments. The statute of limitations with respect to the Company’s federal income tax returns has expired for all years through 2006. The Company’s New York State and New York City income tax returns for the 2006 to 2008 period are currently being audited.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the provision for income taxes includes a charge related to the excess of the tax benefit recognized for accounting purposes over the actual tax benefit realized upon the exercise of warrants in March 2011. The provision for income taxes also includes $2,702,000 for foreign taxes principally related to interest on the FMG Note and a dividend paid by Fortescue. These charges are the principal reason why the Company’s effective tax rate is greater than the federal statutory rate in 2011.

11.	Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share amounts were calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows (in thousands):

	2011		2010

Numerator for earnings (loss) per share:
Net income attributable to Leucadia National
Corporation common shareholders for basic
earnings (loss) per share	$	10,507	$	191,479
Interest on 3¾% Convertible Notes		–		960
Net income attributable to Leucadia National
Corporation common shareholders for diluted
earnings (loss) per share	$	10,507	$	192,439

Denominator for earnings (loss) per share:
Denominator for basic earnings (loss) per share –
weighted average shares		244,082		243,291
Stock options		158		54
Warrants		380		–
3¾% Convertible Notes		–		4,249
Denominator for diluted earnings (loss) per share		244,620		247,594

Options to purchase 872,000 and 1,724,500 weighted average common shares were outstanding during the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect was antidilutive.

Warrants to purchase 4,000,000 common shares at $28.515 per share were outstanding during the three month period ended March 31, 2010 but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as the effect was antidilutive.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2011, 4,280,000 shares related to the 3¾% Convertible Notes were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as the effect was antidilutive.

Outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights of a subsidiary are not included above since the subsidiary operates at a net loss and the effect is antidilutive.

12.	Indebtedness

The Board of Directors has authorized the Company, from time to time, to purchase its outstanding debt securities through cash purchases in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, depend upon prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements and other factors; such purchases may be commenced or suspended at any time without notice. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased $6,359,000 principal amount of its 8 1/8% Senior Notes due 2015 and $36,000,000 principal amount of its 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2017, and recognized aggregate pre-tax losses of $2,898,000 for the three month 2011 period, which are reflected in selling, general and other expenses.

As more fully discussed in the 2010 10-K, in January 2011, a subsidiary of the Company paid $19,275,000 to the lenders of the Myrtle Beach project in full satisfaction of the project’s non-recourse indebtedness, which had a balance of $100,524,000, and for net working capital amounts. As a result, the Company recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt (including accrued interest) in other income of $81,848,000 in the first quarter of 2011. During 2010 and 2009, the Company had recognized impairment charges related to this project aggregating $114,900,000.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions. At March 31, 2011, these fixed rate repurchase agreements have a weighted average interest rate of approximately 0.3%, mature at various dates through May 2011 and are collateralized by non-current investments. The non-current investments are adjustable rate mortgage pass-through certificates issued by U.S. Government-Sponsored Enterprises (FHLMC or FNMA). This portfolio has a weighted average life of approximately 4 years and a duration of 0.75 at March 31, 2011.

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company did not have significant fair value measurements using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The estimated fair values for securities measured using Level 1 inputs are determined using publicly quoted market prices in active markets. The Company has a segregated portfolio of mortgage pass-through certificates issued by U.S. Government agencies (GNMA) and by U.S. Government-Sponsored Enterprises (FHLMC or FNMA) which are carried on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. Although the markets that these types of securities trade in are generally active, market prices are not always available for the identical security. The fair value of these investments are based on observable market data including benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids and offers. The estimates of fair value of the portfolios of mortgage pass-through certificates and corporate bonds are considered to be based on Level 2 inputs.

At March 31, 2011, the Company did not have significant assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Aggregate information concerning assets and liabilities at December 31, 2010 that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis is presented below (in thousands):

(a)

As more fully discussed in the 2010 10-K, the Company evaluated for impairment the carrying value of the Myrtle Beach project’s real estate assets, recorded an impairment charge and reduced the carrying amount to its fair value. As of December 31, 2010, the Company also wrote down to fair value one of its real estate projects based on an appraisal and prices for similar assets, and recognized an impairment charge, which is included in selling, general and other expenses.

(b)	Consists of a corporate aircraft for which the fair value was primarily based on prices for similar assets.

(c)	Represents an investment in a non-public security accounted for under the cost method of accounting for which the Company primarily reviewed issuer financial statements to determine its fair value.

Included in net securities gains in the consolidated statement of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 are impairment charges of $981,000, all of which were for non-agency mortgage-backed bond securitizations; impairment charges for securities for the three month 2011 period were not material.

The following table presents fair value information about certain financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the balance sheet. Fair values are determined as described below. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. The fair value amounts presented do not purport to represent and should not be considered representative of the underlying “market” or franchise value of the Company. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of each class of the financial instruments described below are as follows:

(a)	Investments: The fair values of marketable equity securities and fixed maturity securities (which include securities sold not owned) are substantially based on quoted market prices.

Other non-current investments which do not trade publicly include private equity fund investments where the Company’s voting interest isn’t large enough to apply the equity method of accounting, a portfolio of non-agency mortgage-backed bond securitizations where the underlying assets are various individual mortgage loans, the zero-coupon component of the FMG Note and various other non-publicly traded investments. For the investments in private equity funds and the FMG zero-coupon note, the Company has concluded that the carrying amount approximates the fair value of these investments based primarily on reviews of issuer financial statements or statements of net asset value. For the bond securitization portfolio, future cash flows are re-estimated on a regular basis for each security to determine if impairment charges are required; accordingly the Company has concluded that the carrying amount of these securities approximates their fair values. The fair values of the Company’s other non-publicly traded investments that are accounted for under the cost method were assumed to be at least equal to the carrying amount. For these non-publicly traded investments, the Company reviews cash flows and/or other information obtained from investee companies on a regular basis to determine if impairment charges are required.

(b)	Cash and cash equivalents: For cash equivalents, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

(c)	Notes receivable: The fair values of variable rate notes receivable are estimated to be the carrying amount.

(d)

Long-term and other indebtedness: The fair values of non-variable rate debt are estimated using quoted market prices and estimated rates that would be available to the Company for debt with similar terms. The fair value of variable rate debt is estimated to be the carrying amount. The fair value of the Myrtle Beach project’s debt at December 31, 2010 is the amount paid by the Company’s subsidiary for the collateralized property in the foreclosure sale.

(e)	Swap agreements: The fair values of the interest rate swap agreement are based on rates currently available for similar agreements.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows (in thousands):

14. Discontinued Operations

As more fully discussed in the 2010 10-K, the Company sold ResortQuest International, LLC (“ResortQuest”) in September 2010, and STi Prepaid, LLC (“STi Prepaid”) in October 2010 and classified these operations as discontinued operations. In addition, in September 2010, the Company classified its power production business that burns waste biomass to produce electricity as a held for sale discontinued operation.

A summary of the results of discontinued operations for ResortQuest, STi Prepaid and the power production business is as follows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Interim Operations .

The following should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2010 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s investment portfolio, equity and results of operations can be significantly impacted by the changes in market values of certain securities, particularly during times of increased volatility in security prices. Changes in the market values of publicly traded available for sale securities are reflected in other comprehensive income (loss) and equity. However, changes in the market prices of investments for which the Company has elected the fair value option, declines in the fair values of equity securities that the Company deems to be other than temporary and declines in the fair values of debt securities related to credit losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and equity.

The Company’s largest publicly traded available for sale equity securities with changes in market values reflected in other comprehensive income (loss) are Fortescue and Inmet. During the three month period ended March 31, 2011, the market value of the Company’s investment in the common shares of Fortescue decreased from $1,659,617,000 at December 31, 2010 to $1,641,888,000 at March 31, 2011, and the market value of the Company’s investment in Inmet decreased from $862,481,000 at December 31, 2010 to $775,335,000 at March 31, 2011. The market value of the Company’s investment in Jefferies, for which the fair value option was elected, decreased during the three month period ended March 31, 2011; accordingly, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $83,404,000 as a component of income (losses) related to associated companies.

In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the Company also considers investments classified as current assets and investments classified as non-current assets on the face of its consolidated balance sheet as being generally available to meet its liquidity needs. Securities classified as current and non-current investments are not as liquid as cash and cash equivalents, but they are generally easily convertible into cash within a relatively short period of time. As of March 31, 2011, the sum of these amounts aggregated $4,526,443,000. However, since $839,038,000 of this amount is pledged as collateral pursuant to various agreements, is subject to trading restrictions, represents investments in non-public securities or is held by subsidiaries that are party to agreements that restrict the Company’s ability to use the funds for other purposes, the Company does not consider those amounts to be available to meet the Parent’s liquidity needs. The $3,687,405,000 that is available is comprised of cash and short-term bonds and notes of the U.S. Government and its agencies, U.S. Government-Sponsored Enterprises and other publicly traded debt and equity securities (including the Fortescue common shares of $1,641,888,000 and the Inmet common shares of $775,335,000). The Parent’s available liquidity, and the investment income realized from the Parent’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities is used to meet the Parent company’s short-term recurring cash requirements, which are principally the payment of interest on its debt and corporate overhead expenses.

At March 31, 2011, the Company owns 11,042,413 common shares of Inmet, representing approximately 18% of Inmet’s outstanding shares. The previously announced merger agreement between Inmet and Lundin was terminated in March 2011; accordingly, the voting and support agreement the Company entered into with Lundin, which restricted the Company’s ability to sell its Inmet shares, was also terminated. The Toronto Stock Exchange selling restrictions pertaining to the Inmet shares acquired in 2010 expired in April 2011.

In January 2011, a subsidiary of the Company paid $19,275,000 in connection with the foreclosure sale of the Myrtle Beach project (including net working capital amounts), which fully satisfied the project’s non-recourse indebtedness, which had a balance of $100,524,000.

In January 2011, the Company received $72,900,000 from FMG (net of $8,100,000 in withholding taxes) in payment of interest due on the FMG Note for the second half of 2010. Future interest payments under the FMG Note will be dependent upon the physical volume of iron ore sold and the selling price, which can fluctuate widely, as well as the outcome of the litigation as described below. As a result, it is not possible to predict whether interest earned in the most recent quarter will continue at the same level in future quarters.

On August 9, 2010, the Company was advised that Fortescue is asserting that FMG is entitled to issue additional notes identical to the FMG Note in an unlimited amount. Fortescue further claims that any interest to be paid on additional notes can dilute, on a pro rata basis, the Company’s entitlement to the stated interest of 4% of net revenue. This claim was made four years after the issuance to the Company of the FMG Note, during which time Fortescue has never asserted this purported right to dilute the Company’s interest in any of Fortescue’s public filings or other communications. The Company does not believe that FMG has the right to issue additional notes which affect the Company’s interest or that the interpretation by Fortescue of the terms of the FMG Note, as currently claimed by Fortescue, reflects the agreement between the parties.

On September 1, 2010, the Company filed a Writ of Summons against Fortescue, FMG and Fortescue’s Chief Executive Officer in the Supreme Court of Western Australia. The Writ of Summons seeks, among other things, an injunction restraining the issuance of any additional notes identical to the FMG Note and damages. If the litigation is ultimately determined adversely to the Company and additional notes are issued, the Company’s future cash flows from the FMG Note and future results of operations would be materially and adversely affected to the extent of the dilution resulting from the issuance of such additional notes.

In March 2011, the Company invested an additional $50,000,000 in Sangart, which increased its ownership interest to approximately 96%.

In April 2011, in connection with Jefferies’ sale of approximately 20,600,000 common shares in a public offering, the Company purchased 5,154,639 Jefferies common shares for cash consideration of $125,000,000. As a result, the Company’s percentage ownership interest of Jefferies common shares declined to 27.5%.

The Board of Directors has authorized the Company, from time to time, to purchase its outstanding debt securities through cash purchases in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, depend upon prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements and other factors; such purchases may be commenced or suspended at any time without notice. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased $6,359,000 principal amount of its 8 1/8% Senior Notes due 2015 and $36,000,000 principal amount of its 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2017. In April 2011, the Company repurchased an additional aggregate $23,860,000 principal amount of its outstanding debt securities.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

Net cash of $17,775,000 was used for operating activities in the three month 2011 period as compared to $72,047,000 of cash used in the three month 2010 period. The change in operating cash flows reflects proceeds received from FMG ($72,900,000, net of withholding taxes), greater income tax payments and lower interest payments. STi Prepaid and ResortQuest generated funds from operating activities of $893,000 and $2,422,000, respectively, prior to being sold during 2010. Keen generated funds of $6,686,000 and $1,842,000 during the 2011 and 2010 periods, respectively; Premier generated funds of $6,816,000 and $4,098,000 during the 2011 and 2010 periods, respectively; and the Company’s manufacturing segments used funds of $6,622,000 and $3,473,000 during the 2011 and 2010 periods, respectively. Funds used by Sangart, a development stage company, increased to $8,879,000 during the 2011 period from $5,312,000 during the 2010 period. For the period ended March 31, 2011, distributions from associated companies principally include earnings distributed by Berkadia ($8,000,000) and Jefferies ($3,701,000). For the period ended March 31, 2010, distributions from associated companies principally include earnings distributed by Berkadia ($6,000,000), Jefferies ($3,644,000) and Garcadia ($2,584,000).

Net cash of $179,521,000 was used for investing activities in the three month 2011 period as compared to $127,091,000 of cash provided by investing activities in the three month 2010 period. For the period ended March 31, 2011, proceeds from disposals of real estate, property and equipment, and other assets include $12,040,000 from the sale of certain of Keen’s rigs. Investments in associated companies include CLC ($2,650,000) and ACF ($7,236,000) in the 2010 period.

Net cash of $69,888,000 and $9,811,000 was provided by financing activities in the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Issuance of debt for 2011 and 2010 primarily reflects the increase in repurchase agreements of $144,500,000 and $12,242,000, respectively. Reduction of debt for 2011 includes $19,275,000 in full satisfaction of the Myrtle Beach project’s non-recourse indebtedness, $8,500,000 for the repayment of Keen’s line of credit and $44,537,000 for the buyback of $6,359,000 principal amount of the Company’s 8 1/8% Senior Notes due 2015 and $36,000,000 principal amount of the Company’s 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2017.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates all of these estimates and assumptions. The following areas have been identified as critical accounting estimates because they have the potential to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, and because they are based on assumptions which are used in the accounting records to reflect, at a specific point in time, events whose ultimate outcome won’t be known until a later date. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Income Taxes – The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax asset to the net amount that is more likely than not to be realized. If in the future the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to realize its net deferred tax asset in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to increase the net deferred tax asset would increase income in such period. If in the future the Company were to determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its recorded net deferred tax asset, an adjustment to decrease the net deferred tax asset would be charged to income in such period. The Company is required to consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, and to weight the evidence when determining whether a valuation allowance is required and the amount of such valuation allowance. Generally, greater weight is required to be placed on objectively verifiable evidence when making this assessment, in particular on recent historical operating results.

During 2010, the Company realized significant gains from the sale of certain investments, recorded significant unrealized gains in the fair values of other investments and began to experience modest improvement in the operating results in some business segments. Additionally, the Company’s cumulative taxable income for recent years became a positive amount, reflecting the realized gains on the sales of certain investments during the fourth quarter of 2010. With this recent positive evidence the Company gave greater weight to its revised projections of future taxable income, which consider significant unrealized gains in its investment portfolio, and to its long-term historical ability to generate significant amounts of taxable income when assessing the amount of its required valuation allowance. As a result, the Company was able to conclude that it is more likely than not that it will have future taxable income sufficient to realize a significant portion of the Company’s net deferred tax asset; accordingly, $1,157,111,000 of the deferred tax valuation allowance was reversed as a credit to income tax expense on December 31, 2010.

The Company’s estimate of future taxable income considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, about its operating businesses and investments, included an aggregation of individual projections for each material operating business and investment, estimated apportionment factors for state and local taxing jurisdictions and included all future years that the Company estimated it would have available net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) (until 2029). The Company believes that its estimate of future taxable income is reasonable but inherently uncertain, and if its current or future operations and investments generate taxable income different than the projected amounts, further adjustments to the valuation allowance are possible. The current balance of the deferred tax valuation allowance principally reserves for NOLs of certain subsidiaries that are not available to offset income generated by other members of the Company’s consolidated tax return group.

The Company also records reserves for contingent tax liabilities based on the Company’s assessment of the probability of successfully sustaining its tax filing positions.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. When testing for impairment, the Company groups its long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (or asset group). The determination of whether an asset group is recoverable is based on management’s estimate of undiscounted future cash flows directly attributable to the asset group as compared to its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the asset group is greater than the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its estimated fair value.

Current economic conditions have adversely affected most of the Company’s operations and investments. A worsening of current economic conditions or a prolonged recession could cause a decline in estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the Company’s operations and investments. If future undiscounted cash flows are estimated to be less than the carrying amounts of the asset groups used to generate those cash flows in subsequent reporting periods, particularly for those with large investments in property and equipment (for example, manufacturing, gaming entertainment, land based contract oil and gas drilling operations, real estate and certain associated company investments), impairment charges would have to be recorded.

Impairment of Equity Method Investments – The Company evaluates equity method investments for impairment when operating losses or other factors may indicate a decrease in value which is other than temporary. For investments in investment partnerships that are accounted for under the equity method, the Company obtains from the investment partnership financial statements, net asset values and other information on a quarterly basis and annual audited financial statements. On a quarterly basis, the Company also makes inquiries and discusses with investment managers whether there were significant procedural, valuation, composition and other changes at the investee. Since these investment partnerships record their underlying investments at fair value, after application of the equity method the carrying value of the Company’s investment is equal to its share of the investees’ underlying net assets at their fair values. Absent any unusual circumstances or restrictions concerning these investments, which would be separately evaluated, it is unlikely that any additional impairment charge would be required.

For equity method investments in operating businesses, the Company considers a variety of factors including economic conditions nationally and in their geographic areas of operation, adverse changes in the industry in which they operate, declines in business prospects, deterioration in earnings, increasing costs of operations and other relevant factors specific to the investee. Whenever the Company believes conditions or events indicate that one of these investments might be materially impaired, the Company will obtain from such investee updated cash flow projections and impairment analyses of the investee assets. The Company will use this information and, together with discussions with the investee’s management, evaluate if the book value of its investment exceeds its fair value, and if so and the situation is deemed other than temporary, record an impairment charge.

Impairment of Securities – Declines in the fair values of equity securities considered to be other than temporary and declines in the fair values of debt securities related to credit losses are reflected in net securities gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company evaluates its investments for impairment on a quarterly basis.

The Company’s determination of whether a security is other than temporarily impaired incorporates both quantitative and qualitative information; GAAP requires the exercise of judgment in making this assessment, rather than the application of fixed mathematical criteria. The various factors that the Company considers in making its determination are specific to each investment. For publicly traded debt and equity securities, the Company considers a number of factors including, but not limited to, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, the reason for the decline in fair value, changes in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date, the ability and intent to hold investments to maturity, and other factors specific to the individual investment. For investments in private equity funds and non-public securities, the Company bases its determination upon financial statements, net asset values and/or other information obtained from fund managers or investee companies.

The Company recorded $981,000 of impairment charges for securities, consisting of non-agency mortgage-backed bond securitizations, in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010; impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were not significant.

Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses – The Company’s operating subsidiaries do not provide financing to their customers in the ordinary course of business. However, the Company does have an outstanding loan and an outstanding note that meet the accounting definition of a finance receivable at March 31, 2011: the $250,000,000 loan provided under the secured credit facility to its joint venture, Berkadia, and its 13 year unsecured zero-coupon note of FMG, which had a balance of $37,350,000 at March 31, 2011. The Company exercises judgment in evaluating the credit risk and collectability of these financing receivables. These assessments were made prior to the inception of the credit exposure and continue to be made at regular intervals. The various factors that the Company considers in making its assessment are specific to each financing receivable. These factors include the current and projected financial condition of those companies and their industries, the type and amount of collateral, if any, the Company’s collection experience and the length of time until these financing receivables become due. As a result of its assessment, the Company concluded that an allowance for credit losses was not required as of March 31, 2011.

Business Combinations – At acquisition, the Company allocates the cost of a business acquisition to the specific tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their fair values. Significant judgments and estimates are often made to determine these values, and may include the use of appraisals, consider market quotes for similar transactions, employ discounted cash flow techniques or consider other information the Company believes relevant. The finalization of the purchase price allocation will typically take a number of months to complete, and if final values are materially different from initially recorded amounts adjustments are recorded. Any excess of the cost of a business acquisition over the fair values of the net assets and liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill, which is not amortized to expense. If the fair values of the net assets and liabilities acquired are greater than the purchase price, the excess is treated as a bargain purchase and recognized in income. Recorded goodwill of a reporting unit is required to be tested for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual testing dates if events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its net book value. At March 31, 2011, the book value of goodwill was $8,151,000.

Subsequent to the finalization of the purchase price allocation, any adjustments to the recorded values of acquired assets and liabilities would be reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Once final, the Company is not permitted to revise the allocation of the original purchase price, even if subsequent events or circumstances prove the Company’s original judgments and estimates to be incorrect. In addition, long-lived assets recorded in a business combination like property and equipment, amortizable intangibles and goodwill may be deemed to be impaired in the future resulting in the recognition of an impairment loss. The assumptions and judgments made by the Company when recording business combinations will have an impact on reported results of operations for many years into the future.

Use of Fair Value Estimates – Under GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Further, a fair value hierarchy prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), the next priority to inputs that don’t qualify as Level 1 inputs but are nonetheless observable, either directly or indirectly, for the particular asset or liability (Level 2), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Over 95% of the Company’s investment portfolio is classified as available for sale securities, which are carried at estimated fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The estimated fair values are principally based on publicly quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs), which can rise or fall in reaction to a wide variety of factors or events, and as such are subject to market-related risks and uncertainties. The Company has a segregated portfolio of mortgage pass-through certificates issued by U.S. Government agencies (GNMA) and by U.S. Government-Sponsored Enterprises (FHLMC or FNMA) which are carried on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value of $979,188,000 at March 31, 2011. Although the markets that these types of securities trade in are generally active, market prices are not always available for the identical security. The fair values of these investments are based on observable market data including benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids and offers. These estimates of fair value are considered to be Level 2 inputs, and the amounts realized from the disposition of these investments has not been materially different from their estimated fair values.

The Company also has a segregated portfolio of non-agency mortgage-backed securities which are carried on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value of $82,382,000. Although these securities trade in brokered markets, the market for these securities is sometimes inactive. The fair values of these investments are based on bid and ask prices, quotes obtained from independent market makers and pricing services. These estimates of fair values are also considered to be Level 2 inputs.

The fair values of the Company’s portfolio of non-agency mortgage backed bond securitizations, which are primarily determined using an income valuation model to calculate the present value of expected future cash flows, are considered to be Level 3 inputs.

Contingencies – The Company accrues for contingent losses when the contingent loss is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Estimates of the likelihood that a loss will be incurred and of contingent loss amounts normally require significant judgment by management, can be highly subjective and are subject to material change with the passage of time as more information becomes available. Estimating the ultimate impact of litigation matters is inherently uncertain, in particular because the ultimate outcome will rest on events and decisions of others that may not be within the power of the Company to control. The Company does not believe that any of its current litigation will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity; however, if amounts paid at the resolution of litigation are in excess of recorded reserve amounts, the excess could be significant in relation to results of operations for that period. As of March 31, 2011, the Company’s accrual for contingent losses was not material.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

General

Substantially all of the Company’s operating businesses sell products or services that are impacted by general economic conditions in the U.S. and to a lesser extent internationally. Poor general economic conditions have reduced the demand for products or services sold by the Company’s operating subsidiaries and/or resulted in reduced pricing for products or services. Troubled industry sectors, like the residential real estate market, have had an adverse impact not only on the Company’s real estate segments, but have also had an adverse indirect impact on some of the Company’s other operating segments, including manufacturing and gaming entertainment. The discussions below and in the 2010 10-K concerning revenue and profitability by segment consider current economic conditions and the impact such conditions have had and may continue to have on each segment; however, should general economic conditions worsen and/or if the country experiences a prolonged recession, the Company believes that all of its businesses would be adversely impacted.

Manufacturing – Idaho Timber

A summary of results of operations for Idaho Timber for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in thousands):

	2011		2010

Revenues and other income	$	40,240	$	43,298

Expenses:
Cost of sales		37,236		39,618
Salaries and incentive compensation		1,298		1,552
Depreciation and amortization		1,034		1,036
Selling, general and other expenses		656		706
		40,224		42,912

Income before income taxes	$	16	$	386

Revenues for the first quarter of 2011 decreased as compared to the same period in 2010. While average selling prices increased approximately 5%, shipment volume decreased 12% due to a 4% decline in average weekly shipments and one less week in Idaho Timber’s first quarter 2011 fiscal reporting period. Idaho Timber believes that the abundance of existing homes available for sale in the market and high unemployment will continue to negatively impact housing starts and Idaho Timber’s revenues during 2011. Until housing starts substantially increase, annual dimension lumber shipping volume may remain flat or could further decline.

Raw material costs, the largest component of cost of sales (approximately 82% of cost of sales), reflect the lower shipment volume and increased costs for the 2011 period as compared to the same period in 2010. Raw material cost per thousand board feet increased approximately 8%, which was caused by reduced supply due to increased low-grade lumber exports and greater demand. The difference between Idaho Timber’s selling price and raw material cost per thousand board feet (spread) is closely monitored, and the rate of change in pricing and cost is not necessarily the same. Idaho Timber’s spread decreased approximately 5% for the first quarter of 2011 period as compared to the same period in 2010.

Manufacturing – Conwed Plastics

A summary of results of operations for Conwed Plastics for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in thousands):

	2011		2010

Revenues and other income	$	23,569	$	21,601

Expenses:
Cost of sales		17,017		15,217
Salaries and incentive compensation		1,647		1,684
Depreciation and amortization		82		86
Selling, general and other expenses		1,533		1,846
		20,279		18,833

Income before income taxes	$	3,290	$	2,768

Conwed Plastic’s revenues increased in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, primarily reflecting increased sales volume in most of its markets other than packaging and certain markets related to the housing industry. Conwed Plastics believes that this increase is due to various initiatives to regain market share, moderate economic improvement and customers carrying less inventory into the current year than previously. Conwed Plastics’ revenues related to packaging and the housing industry were negatively impacted by competitive pressures and customers closely managing their inventory.

The primary raw material in Conwed Plastics’ products is a polypropylene resin, which is a byproduct of the oil refining process, whose price has historically fluctuated with the price of oil. Global demand for raw materials has also resulted in higher prices for polypropylene. Prices for polypropylene resin increased substantially in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, which adversely affected gross margin. The volatility of oil and natural gas prices along with current general economic conditions worldwide make it difficult to predict future raw material costs. Conwed Plastics believes that the increased competition for raw materials by foreign nations will continue to adversely impact raw material costs.

Oil and Gas Drilling Services

A summary of results of operations for Keen for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in thousands):

	2011		2010

Revenues and other income	$	32,084	$	20,790

Expenses:
Direct operating expenses		21,271		22,771
Interest		62		351
Salaries and incentive compensation		793		646
Depreciation and amortization		5,293		6,384
Selling, general and other expenses		1,094		1,915
		28,513		32,067

Income (loss) before income taxes	$	3,571	$	(11,277	)

Keen’s revenue volume and profitability are significantly affected by the actual and anticipated price of natural gas and oil, levels of natural gas and oil in storage and the supply of drilling rigs available in the marketplace. The exploration and production industry is cyclical and the level of exploration and production activity has historically been very volatile. During periods of lower levels of drilling activity, price competition for drilling services tends to increase, which may result in reduced revenues and profitability; conversely, during periods of increased drilling activity, drilling rigs are in demand often resulting in higher prices and contractual commitments from customers to obtain exclusive use of a particular rig for a longer term. Keen’s rig utilization and dayrates increased substantially during the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010, as the negative impact of lower natural gas prices was partially offset by a greater proportion of Keen’s customers using its rigs to drill for oil rather than natural gas. In January 2011, Keen sold its 12 older mechanical rigs and recognized a gain of $937,000. During the first quarter of 2010, these 12 rigs generated revenues of $4,734,000; only three of these rigs were operating under contract at the end of 2010 and generated revenues of $638,000 during the first quarter of 2011.

Direct operating results for the first quarters of 2011 and 2010 reflected $607,000 and $3,803,000, respectively, of costs incurred to maintain, repair and make certain of its rigs operational following periods when they were not in use. Depreciation and amortization expense for the first quarter of 2011 declined as compared to the same period in 2010 principally due to the sale of certain rigs discussed above.

Gaming Entertainment

A summary of results of operations for Premier for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in thousands):

	2011			2010

Revenues and other income	$	30,782		$	27,079

Expenses:
Direct operating expenses		21,469			19,898
Interest		23			109
Salaries and incentive compensation		634			495
Depreciation and amortization		4,244			4,192
Selling, general and other expenses		(1,384	)		1,015
		24,986			25,709

Income before income taxes	$	5,796		$	1,370

Premier’s gaming revenues for the three month 2011 period increased approximately 14% as compared to the same period in 2010, while the local gaming market was largely unchanged. Premier believes that its customer loyalty programs and enhancements, which it implemented beginning in the third quarter of 2010, are the primary reason for the growth in its gaming revenues and market share.

The increase in direct operating expenses in the 2011 period as compared to the 2010 period primarily reflects greater marketing and promotional costs, gaming taxes and food and beverage costs.

As more fully described in the 2010 10-K, during 2010 Premier recorded in selling, general and other expenses a loss for the award of $11,200,000, including interest, to the former holders of Premier’s bond debt as a result of a decision by the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. Premier filed a notice of appeal of the Bankruptcy Court’s decision and no amounts were paid while the appeal was pending. On April 8, 2011, Premier entered into an agreement to settle the litigation with its former noteholders for $9,000,000. As a result, Premier reduced the liability for the award and credited selling, general and other expenses for $2,241,000 in the first quarter of 2011.

Domestic Real Estate

A summary of results of operations for the domestic real estate segment for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in thousands):

	2011		2010

Revenues and other income	$	85,383	$	4,015

Expenses:
Interest		34		509
Depreciation and amortization		903		1,608
Other operating expenses		3,129		3,953
		4,066		6,070

Income (loss) before income taxes	$	81,317	$	(2,055	)

Revenues and other income for the 2011 period includes a gain on forgiveness of debt of $81,848,000 related to the Myrtle Beach project. As more fully discussed in the 2010 10-K, in January 2011 a subsidiary of the Company paid $19,275,000 to the lenders of the Myrtle Beach project in full satisfaction of the project’s non-recourse indebtedness, which had a balance of $100,524,000 at December 31, 2010. During 2010 and 2009, the Company had recognized impairment charges related to this project aggregating $114,900,000.

Pre-tax results for the domestic real estate segment are largely dependent upon the performance of the segment’s operating properties, the current status of the Company’s real estate development projects and non-recurring gains or losses recognized when real estate assets are sold. As a result, pre-tax results for this segment for any particular period are not predictable and do not follow any consistent pattern.

Residential property sales volume, prices and new building starts have declined significantly in many U.S. markets, including markets in which the Company has real estate operations in various stages of development. The slowdown in residential sales has been exacerbated by the turmoil in the mortgage lending and credit markets during the past few years, which has resulted in stricter lending standards and reduced liquidity for prospective home buyers. The Company has deferred its development plans for certain of its real estate development projects, and is not actively soliciting bids for its fully developed projects. The Company intends to wait for market conditions to improve before marketing certain of its projects for sale.

Medical Product Development

A summary of results of operations for Sangart for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in thousands):

	2011			2010

Revenues and other income	$	91		$	2

Expenses:
Salaries and incentive compensation		3,012			1,940
Depreciation and amortization		209			215
Selling, general and other expenses		864			3,160
		4,085			5,315

Loss before income taxes	$	(3,994	)	$	(5,313	)

Sangart’s results for 2011 reflect a reduction in selling, general and other expenses of $4,391,000 related to share-based awards previously granted to a former officer. The fair value of these share-based awards declined during the first quarter; accordingly, Sangart reduced the liability and credited selling, general and other expenses. Selling, general and other expenses also reflect $954,000 of greater research and development costs, as well as increased employee benefits, insurance and other costs primarily related to preparation for a larger Phase II clinical study of MP4OX in trauma patients. In addition, selling, general and other expenses for 2011 reflect $279,000 of higher professional fees. Salaries and incentive compensation expense increased in the first quarter of 2011 principally due to higher headcount.

Sangart is a development stage company that does not have any revenues from product sales. During 2010, Sangart completed a Phase II proof of concept clinical trial of MP4OX in trauma patients. The study results were considered to be successful and would support the conduct of a larger Phase II clinical study in trauma patients, which will begin in the second quarter of 2011. If this larger Phase II study were to be successful, Sangart would have to conduct Phase III clinical studies in trauma patients. The Phase II and Phase III studies would take several years to complete at substantial cost, and until they are successfully completed, if ever, Sangart will not be able to request marketing approval and generate revenues from sales in the trauma market. Also as more fully discussed in the 2010 10-K, Sangart is exploring the application of the MP4 technology in additional therapeutic areas. The Company is unable to predict when, if ever, it will report operating profits for this segment.

Other Operations

A summary of results of operations for other operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in thousands):

	2011			2010

Revenues and other income	$	16,107		$	13,258

Expenses:
Interest		–			5
Salaries and incentive compensation		2,141			2,033
Depreciation and amortization		1,146			892
Selling, general and other expenses		19,391			17,001
		22,678			19,931

Loss before income taxes	$	(6,571	)	$	(6,673	)

Revenues and other income for the three month 2011 period includes $1,990,000 with respect to government grants to reimburse the Company for certain of its prior expenditures related to energy projects, which were fully expensed as incurred. The change in revenues and other income for the three month 2011 period also reflects $1,672,000 of increased revenues at the winery operations. Selling, general and other expenses include $9,685,000 and $7,856,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to the investigation and evaluation of energy projects (principally professional fees and other costs). The change in selling, general and other expenses for the three month 2011 period as compared to the same period in 2010 also reflects $1,387,000 of greater costs at the winery operations.

Corporate

A summary of results of operations for corporate for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in thousands):

	2011			2010

Revenues and other income (including net
securities gains)	$	55,778		$	129,252

Expenses:
Interest		28,858			30,517
Salaries and incentive compensation		6,413			11,857
Depreciation and amortization		4,851			5,076
Selling, general and other expenses		19,551			13,168
		59,673			60,618

Income (loss) before income taxes	$	(3,895	)	$	68,634

Net securities gains for Corporate aggregated $2,303,000 and $99,067,000 for the three month 2011 and 2010 periods, respectively. Net securities gains for the three month 2010 period include a gain of $94,918,000 from the sale of 30,000,000 common shares of Fortescue for net cash proceeds of $121,498,000. Net securities gains are net of impairment charges of $981,000 for the three month 2010 period; impairment charges for the 2011 period were not material. The Company’s decision to sell securities and realize security gains or losses is generally based on its evaluation of an individual security’s value at the time, the prospect for changes in its value in the future and/or the Company’s liquidity needs. The decision could also be influenced by the status of the Company’s tax attributes. The timing of realized security gains or losses is not predictable and does not follow any pattern from year to year.

Investment income increased $9,780,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, principally due to a cash dividend of $7,695,000 paid on Fortescue’s common shares and greater investment income due to a larger amount of fixed income securities. Other income, which increased $13,510,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, includes $37,413,000 and $21,668,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to Fortescue’s Pilbara iron ore and infrastructure project in Western Australia. The Company is entitled to receive 4% of the revenue, net of government royalties, invoiced from certain areas of Fortescue’s project. Amounts are payable semi-annually within thirty days of June 30 th and December 31 st of each year. Depreciation and amortization expenses include prepaid mining interest amortization of $2,116,000 and $2,324,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which is being amortized over time in proportion to the amount of ore produced. In addition, investment and other income reflects income of $387,000 and $253,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively related to the accounting for mark-to-market values of Corporate derivatives.

The decrease in interest expense for the three month 2011 period as compared to the same period in 2010 primarily reflects decreased interest expense related to the repurchase of certain of the Company’s debt securities during 2010 and the first quarter of 2011.

Salaries and incentive compensation expense decreased in the three month 2011 period as compared to the same period in 2010 principally due to lower accrued incentive bonus expense related to the Company’s Senior Executive Annual Incentive Bonus Plan and lower share-based compensation expense. Bonus accruals under this bonus plan are based on a percentage of pre-tax profits as defined in the plan. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $995,000 and $1,962,000, respectively, relating to grants made under the Company’s fixed stock option plan, and for 2010, the Company’s 2006 senior executive warrant plan. Share-based compensation expense declined for the three month 2011 period as compared to the same period in 2010 due to the warrants previously granted under the Company’s senior executive warrant plan becoming fully vested in the prior year.

Selling, general and other expenses for the three month 2011 period includes $2,898,000 of expenses related to the repurchase of certain of the Company’s debt securities. The increase in selling, general and other expenses for the 2011 period as compared to the same period in 2010 also reflects greater legal and other professional fees of $2,268,000 and higher corporate aircraft expense of $840,000. Selling, general and other expenses for the 2010 period includes $895,000 of costs for the investigation of investment opportunities.

Prior to December 31, 2010, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its net federal deferred tax asset, including its available federal NOLs. As more fully discussed in the 2010 10-K, a substantial portion of the valuation allowance was reversed as a credit to income tax expense at December 31, 2010; accordingly, in subsequent periods the Company’s effective tax rate is expected to approximate the federal statutory rate, after allowing for the impact of state income taxes, foreign taxes and other adjustments, including adjustments to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if any.

Since the Company had carried a full valuation allowance against its net federal deferred tax asset during interim periods in 2010, no regular federal income tax expense or benefit for interim periods was recorded. However, the Company had been recording provisions or benefits for deferred federal minimum taxes payable, due to material unrealized security gains reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income and in income related to associated companies. As more fully described in the 2010 10-K, if these gains were realized, the Company would have been able to use its NOLs to fully offset the federal income taxes that would have been due, but would have had to pay federal minimum taxes. Although the payment of federal minimum taxes generates a minimum tax credit carryover, it would have been fully reserved for in the net deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Accordingly, for the period ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded provisions for deferred federal minimum taxes payable of $402,000 and $3,112,000 in accumulated other comprehensive income and income related to associated companies, respectively. In the third quarter of 2010, the Company was able to make an election that permitted it to use a portion of its NOLs to fully offset federal minimum taxable income, and as a result the liabilities for deferred federal minimum taxes were reversed.

Associated Companies

Income (losses) related to associated companies for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 includes the following (in thousands):

As discussed above, the Company accounts for its investments in ACF and Jefferies at fair value, resulting in the recognition of unrealized gains (losses) for the difference between the market value and the cost of the investments. The Company’s investment in ACF was sold in October 2010.

During 2010, the Company fully redeemed its interest in Pershing Square by transferring its equity into a larger, more diversified investment partnership fund managed by the same manager. The Company’s percentage ownership interest in this larger investment partnership is much smaller and does not qualify for the equity method of accounting.

Discontinued Operations

Property Management and Services

As discussed above, in September 2010, the Company sold ResortQuest and classified its historical operating results as a discontinued operation. Pre-tax losses of ResortQuest were $1,557,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Telecommunications

As discussed above, in October 2010, the Company sold STi Prepaid and classified its historical operating results as a discontinued operation. Pre-tax losses of STi Prepaid were $1,960,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Other Operations

As discussed above, in September 2010, the Company classified its power production business that burns waste biomass to produce electricity as held for sale and classified its historical operating results as a discontinued operation. Pre-tax losses of this business were $2,585,000 and $1,310,000 for the three month 2011 and 2010 periods, respectively.

Cautionary Statement for Forward-Looking Information
