PART I

Item 1.     Business

      As used throughout this Form 10-K Annual Report, the terms “St. Joe,” “Company” and “Registrant” mean The St. Joe Company and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.

      St. Joe was organized as a Florida corporation in 1936 by the executors of the estate of Alfred I. duPont, a descendant of the Delaware family that founded the duPont Company, to implement Mr. duPont’s plans to establish a paper company in northwest Florida. Over the years, St. Joe, then known as St. Joe Paper Company, expanded into other lines of business, primarily by acquiring assets the Company perceived to be undervalued, such as real estate, railroads, banks, a sugar company, a communications company and corrugated box factories.

      During the 1990’s, the Company began to implement a strategy which led to its transformation from an industrial conglomerate to a real estate operating company.

      To implement this strategy, the Company has divested the bulk of its non-core business segments as follows:

  •  In 1996, the Company sold the stock of St. Joe Communications and St. Joe’s interest in three cellular limited partnerships, as well as the Company’s linerboard mill and container plants.
 
  •  In 1999, the Company completed the sale of its sugar assets for $152.5 million.
 
  •  In 1999, the Company entered into a forward sale transaction with a major financial institution that, in effect, provided for the monetization of its long-held portfolio of equity investments. The Company received approximately $111.1 million in cash. The Company must settle the transaction by October 15, 2002 by delivering either cash or a number of the equity securities to the financial institution.
 
  •  In 2000, the Company completed the tax free spin-off of its 54% equity interest in Florida East Coast Industries, Inc. (“FLA”) to its shareholders.

      The Company, headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, is now one of the Southeast’s largest real estate operating companies. St. Joe provides a broad range of real estate services to meet both residential and commercial real estate needs. The Company believes it has assembled a management team with the range of real estate, financial, marketing and regulatory expertise to take a large-scale approach to real estate development and services.

      The Company primarily conducts its business in six operating segments. These are:

  •  Community Residential Development
 
  •  Residential Real Estate Services
 
  •  Land Sales
 
  •  Commercial Real Estate Development and Services
 
  •  Forestry
 
  •  Transportation.

      The Company owns nearly one million acres, the majority of which are located in northwest Florida. While a majority of the land is currently utilized in the Company’s silviculture operations, the Company believes substantial portions of the land are suitable for other uses, including residential development and large tract sales.

      In order to optimize the value of its core real estate assets in northwest Florida, St. Joe’s strategic plan calls for the Company to continue to increase the pace of its development.

      The Company’s businesses are concentrated in Florida and the state’s economic health and growth will be important factors in creating demand for the Company’s products and services. The Florida economy is growing faster than the national average in many categories. Management expects Florida’s economic and population growth to continue and believes that the Company is well positioned to benefit from increasing

demand for primary housing, and second homes, as well as office and industrial space in the Florida real estate market.

      The Company’s real estate operations are cyclical and are affected by demographic and economic trends and the supply and rate of absorption of new construction.

 
Community Residential Development

      In the community residential development segment, the Company develops large-scale, mixed-use communities primarily on Company-owned lands. The Company’s land holdings include large tracts near Tallahassee, the state capital, and in northwest Florida. These tracts include significant Gulf of Mexico beach frontage and other waterfront property which the Company believes to be suited for primary housing, resort and second-home communities. The Company believes this large, established land inventory, with a very low cost basis, provides an advantage over competitors that must purchase real estate at current market prices before beginning projects. With the development of northwest Florida, the Company has embarked on a regional “placemaking” effort. Through regional economic development organizations such as “Florida’s Great Northwest, Inc.”, the Company is participating in efforts to improve the present infrastructure of the region, including roads, schools, hospitals and the relocation of the Panama City-Bay County International Airport. The Company also develops smaller scale residential communities that make productive use of existing Company assets and acquired land.

      Since November, 1997, the Company has been a 74% partner in St. Joe/Arvida Company, L.P., (“St. Joe/Arvida”). The remaining 26% is owned by JMB Southeast Development, L.L.C. and JMB Southeast Development, L.P. The Company is the managing general partner of the partnership. The principal assets of St. Joe/Arvida are the “Arvida” name, proprietary information systems and the Arvida management team. The Company directs its residential development efforts through St. Joe/Arvida and conducts the majority of its residential development activity under the Arvida trademark. The Company manages the conceptual design, planning and permitting process for each of its new communities. The Company then constructs or contracts for the construction of the infrastructure for the community. The Company markets and sells developed homesites and builds, markets and sells finished housing units.

      In December 1998, the Company acquired approximately 26% of the outstanding limited partnership interests in Arvida/JMB Partners, L.P. (“Arvida/JMB”). The partnership’s assets currently consist primarily of land that is being developed into a master-planned community known as Weston located in Broward County in South Florida.

      In April 1999, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of Saussy Burbank, a homebuilder located in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 2001, Saussy Burbank closed on 397 homes it constructed in North Carolina and South Carolina.

      The community residential development segment generated revenues in 2001 from the sales of developed homesites, the sale of housing units built by the Company, management fees and rental income, and investments in limited partnerships and other affiliates.

      As of December 31, 2001, St. Joe/Arvida was developing approximately 20 residential or resort communities in various stages of planning and development, including one owned by Arvida/JMB.

      The following are some of the communities being developed and planned by the Company. The majority of the projects are on lands owned by the Company or expected to be acquired by the Company. Some of the projects are expected to be developed through ventures with unrelated third parties.

      WaterColor is located on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico in south Walton County, Florida. WaterColor is situated on approximately 499 acres. All three phases of WaterColor have been approved under Florida’s Development of Regional Impact (“DRI”) permitting process.

As of December 31, 2001, sales of 50 St. Joe/Arvida built units had been closed; sales of 116 developed homesites had been closed; and 28 contracts for St. Joe/Arvida built homes and 9 contracts for developed homesites were pending.

      RiverTown is located in St. Johns County, Florida, just south of Jacksonville, Florida along the St. Johns River. RiverTown is situated on approximately 4,300 acres. In late 1998, the Company sold 120 acres in RiverTown to the St. Johns County School Board to be used as a site for a new high school. This school opened for the 2000-2001 school year. In the fourth quarter of 1999, St. Joe filed an application for a Planned Rural Development (PRD) for riverfront homesites in RiverTown. In January, 2000, the Company obtained approval to develop the first 23 riverfront homesites. As of December 31, 2001, all 23 homesites had been closed. Conceptual design and land planning is underway for the remaining lands, however timing is uncertain until the planning process is finished.

      Hampton Park is located in Jacksonville, Florida. Hampton Park is situated on approximately 150 acres and includes 158 homesites. As of December 31, 2001, sales of 1 St. Joe/Arvida built home had been closed and 19 contracts for St. Joe/Arvida built homes were pending.

      Rivercrest is located south of Tampa, Florida along US 301. This project is situated on approximately 413 acres. Plans for this community include 1383 residential units. St. Joe/Arvida is expected to manage the development of Rivercrest for a venture owned equally by the Company and an unrelated third party.

      Paseos is located in Jupiter in northern Palm Beach County, Florida. This project is situated on approximately 175 acres. Plans for this community include 325 residential units. St. Joe/Arvida is expected to manage the development of Paseos for a venture owned equally by the Company and an unrelated third party.

      Several of the planned developments described above are in the midst of the entitlement process or are in the planning stage. No assurances can be given that the necessary entitlements for development will be secured, that any of the Company’s projects can be successfully developed, if at all, or that they can be developed in a timely manner. It is not feasible to estimate project development costs until entitlements have been obtained. As is typical of large-scale development projects, development of these tracts could require significant infrastructure development costs and may raise environmental issues that require mitigation.

 
Residential Real Estate Services

      In July 1998, St. Joe purchased Arvida Realty Services (“ARS”), formerly known as Prudential Florida Realty. ARS is Florida’s largest independent residential real estate brokerage company and the fifth largest in the nation. ARS has over 100 offices throughout Florida, more than 3,100 licensed sales professionals and approximately 800 employees.

      ARS provides a complete array of real estate brokerage services, including residential real estate sales, relocation and referral, asset and property management, mortgage and title services, annual and seasonal rentals and international real estate marketing. During the first quarter of 2001, ARS began originating mortgage loans including underwriting and closing loans and selling them on the secondary market.

      ARS’s operations are seasonal with the volume of transactions increasing in the spring and summer, which corresponds to the increase in housing relocations. This seasonality is somewhat offset by the vacation home (second home) market which is active in the winter months.

      ARS generated revenue in 2001 from brokerage, title and mortgage transactions.

St. Joe Land Company

      St. Joe Land Company was created in 1999 to facilitate land sales at higher prices than would be received from bulk timberland sales. This segment markets parcels which are typically between five and 5,000 acres. This land is from a portion of the timberlands long-held by St. Joe in northwest Florida and southwest Georgia that consist of forests and meadowlands with frontage on rivers, lakes and bays. These parcels are being marketed as large secluded home sites, some of which could be used as quail plantations, ranches, farms, hunting and fishing preserves and for other recreational uses. The Company believes that there is an opportunity to create additional value on between 300,000 and 500,000 acres of its timberland that are not included in the Company’s current development plans. The vast majority of the holdings marketed by St. Joe Land Company will continue to be managed as timberland until sold.

      During the third quarter of 2000, the Company began selling land to conservation groups and governmental agencies. The Company is also in the process of introducing a new product called RiverCamps. These are planned settlements in a rustic setting, supplemented with amenities that may include docks, pools, tennis courts and community river houses, with most lots planned to be located on or near waterfront property. The concept envisions homesites and high-quality finished cabins in low-density settings with access to various outdoor activities such as fishing, hunting, boating, hiking and horseback riding. Potential sites being evaluated, all of which have water access, range in size from 1,500 to 7,500 acres. Conceptual design planning is underway; however, timing is uncertain until the planning process is finished.

      This segment generated revenues in 2001 from the sale of 174 parcels of land totaling 44,626 acres, including 5 conservation land sales.

Commercial Real Estate Development And Services

      The Company’s commercial real estate segment (“St. Joe Commercial”) develops and manages office, industrial and retail properties primarily in Florida.

      This segment generated revenues in 2001 from rentals on properties owned by the Company, property management fees, development fees, sales of developed properties and investments in partnerships and other affiliates.

      On October 9, 2000, the Company distributed to its shareholders all of its equity interest in Florida East Coast Industries, Inc. (“FLA”), which eliminated the Company’s ownership interest in Flagler Development Company (“FDC”), the commercial and industrial real estate subsidiary of FLA. In contemplating the spin-off, the Company and FLA entered into an Amended and Restated Master Agreement, which provides for several property management and development service agreements between the two companies. In consideration of FLA’s execution of the Amended and Restated Master Agreement, the Company will pay FLA $6 million in three annual installments. The first installment was paid in October, 2000, the second installment was paid in October, 2001 and the Company intends to pay the third and final installment in October, 2002. In addition, in consideration of the abandonment by the Company of its entitlement to become a 50% joint venture partner in certain properties under previous agreements between the Company and FLA, FLA paid the Company $5.3 million in October, 2000. Under the terms of the various agreements, which will generally extend until October, 2003, FDC has retained the Company to develop and manage certain commercial real estate holdings of FDC. FDC pays fees for these services based upon market rates.

      Development. The Company directs the conceptual design, planning and permitting process for each new development. The Company then constructs or contracts for the construction of the infrastructure and building. The Company generally receives a development fee equal to a percentage of the cost of the project. The amount of the fee depends on the type and location of the project.

      The Company has entered into strategic partnerships that allow it to provide development services in certain competitive markets. In February 1998, the Company acquired a one-third interest in Codina Group, Inc. (“CGI”). In March 2000, CGI bought back Duke-Weeks Realty Corporation’s one-third interest in CGI. As a consequence, the Company now owns one-half of CGI. CGI develops and services commercial properties for the Company in the south Florida market.

      The Company’s development operations, combined with the Company’s tax strategy to reinvest asset sales proceeds into “like-kind” properties, have created a portfolio of rental properties totaling 2.4 million square feet. Including “like-kind” properties and projects developed by the Company, the portfolio was 84% leased at December 31, 2001.

Because of the Company’s new focus on Florida, particularly Company-owned lands in Northwest Florida, the Company intends to sell its non-Florida land positions if offers at acceptable prices and terms are obtained. At December 31, 2001, the Company owned approximately 130 acres of land with entitlements for future development of approximately 3.4 million square feet of commercial property.

     Forestry

      This segment focuses on the management and harvesting of the Company’s extensive timberland holdings. The Company grows, harvests, and sells timber and wood fiber. The Company is the largest private holder of timberlands in Florida, with approximately 650,000 acres of planted pine forests, primarily in northwestern Florida, and approximately 250,000 acres of mixed timberland, wetlands, and lake and canal properties. The Company’s timberlands also stretch into southern Georgia.

      This segment generated revenues in 2001 from the sale of pulpwood and bulk land and timber sales.

      St. Joe estimates that its standing pine inventory on December 31, 2001, totaled 21.8 million tons and its hardwood inventory totaled 9.8 million tons. The timberlands are harvested by local independent contractors pursuant to agreements that are generally renewed annually. St. Joe’s principal forestry product is softwood pulpwood. The Company also grows and sells softwood and hardwood sawtimber.

      In August, 1998, the Florida Coast Paper Company, L.L.C. (“FCP”), the Company’s major pulpwood customer, shut down its mill in Port St. Joe. Under the terms and conditions of the amended fiber supply agreement with FCP, the Company began redirecting the volumes of pulpwood from the FCP mill in Port St. Joe to another mill in Panama City, Florida. Sales of pulpwood resumed in November 1998 and continued through June 30, 2000 with no significant loss in volume of sales. FCP subsequently filed for protection from its creditors in the Federal Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Pursuant to an order entered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amended fiber supply agreement was terminated, effective June 30, 2000. On July 1, 2000, a new fiber agreement with Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation, one of the original principals of FCP, went into effect. The agreement is for twelve years and it requires an annual pulpwood volume of 700,000 tons per year that must come from Company-owned fee simple lands. Approximately 312,000 acres were originally encumbered, subject to certain restrictions, by this agreement, although the obligation may be transferred to a third party if an encumbered parcel is sold. A portion of the encumbered land is released each year. As of December 31, 2001, approximately 290,000 acres were encumbered.

      Many of the Company’s timberlands are located near key transportation links, including roads, waterways and railroads, allowing the Company to deliver fiber to its customers on a cost-efficient basis.

      St. Joe maintains a genetics research facility in Capps, Florida, which supervises the growing of seedlings for use in reforestation of its lands. The genetic department conducts research to produce faster-growing, more disease-resistant species of pine trees, and produces seedlings for planting on Company-owned plantations. In

addition, the Company, in cooperation with the University of Florida, is doing experimental work in genetics on the development of superior pine seed.

      St. Joe’s current strategy in its forestry segment is to increase the average age of its timber by extending growing periods before final harvesting in order to capitalize on the higher margins of older-growth timber. The Company has implemented a program which is intended to extend growing periods for its softwood forest from a historical average of approximately 18-22 years to approximately 28-30 years. This strategy may increase the revenues and returns of the Company’s timber operations when a sustainable harvest of older-growth timber is achieved, although there can be no assurances in this regard. The Company will also seek to maximize sustainable harvest volumes through the continued use and development of genetically improved seedlings, soil mapping, extensive fertilization, vegetation control, thinning and selective harvesting practices.

      As part of its strategy to maximize the cash flows from its timberlands, the Company engages in several business activities complementary to its land holdings. In particular, the Company leases approximately 750,000 acres of its timberlands to private clubs and state agencies for hunting.

      During 2001, the Company purchased Sunshine State Cypress, which operates a small cypress sawmill and mulch processing plant.

     Transportation

      The Company owns the Apalachicola Northern Railroad Company (“ANRR”), a short-line railroad operating between Port St. Joe and Chattahoochee, Florida, where it connects with an unaffiliated carrier. Its transportation facilities include 96 miles of main track, 13 miles of yard switching track and 3 miles of other track. Although it is a common carrier, most of ANRR’s business in recent years consisted of moving coal from Port St. Joe to Chattahoochee pursuant to a 1982 contract with Seminole Electric Cooperative, Incorporated (“Seminole”). The primary commodities moved by ANRR are chemicals, stone and clay products and recyclable items.

      In January 1999, Seminole halted shipments of coal and filed a lawsuit in circuit court in Gulf County, Florida, seeking to terminate its contract with ANRR. The litigation was settled in the fourth quarter of 2000. The contract was terminated and Seminole paid the Company $10 million in January 2001.

Risk Factors

      Economic Risks. There can be no assurance that the U.S. economy, in general, or the economy of the Southeast in particular, will continue to experience positive growth rates or that the United States, in general, or the Southeast in particular, will not be affected by a recession in the future. The Company would generally not be able to reduce significant expenditures associated with the development, management and servicing of real estate (such as real estate taxes, maintenance costs and debt payments, if any) if an economic downturn caused a reduction in revenues from the Company’s properties.

      The ability of the Company to generate operating cash flows is directly related to the real estate market, primarily in Florida, and the economy in general. As a result of September 11, 2001, considerable economic and political uncertainties still exist and could have adverse effects on consumer buying behavior, construction costs, availability of labor and materials and other factors affecting the Company and the real estate industry in general. Real estate market conditions in the Company’s regions of development, particularly in northwest Florida, have generally remained healthy. After a downturn in the immediate aftermath of September 11, tourism in the northwest Florida region has rebounded primarily from drive-in markets. Long term prospects of job growth, coupled with strong in-migration population expansion, indicate that demand levels should be favorable over the next two to five years.

      Development Risks. The Company’s real estate development activities require significant capital expenditures. The Company will be required to obtain funds for its capital expenditures and operating activities through cash flow from operations, property sales or financings. There can be no assurances that funds available from cash flow, property sales and financings will be sufficient to fund the Company’s required or desired capital expenditures for development. If the Company were unable to obtain sufficient funds, it might have to defer or otherwise limit certain development activities. Further, any new development or any rehabilitation of older projects can require compliance with new building codes and other regulations. The

10


Table of Contents

Company cannot estimate the cost of complying with such codes and regulations, and such costs can make a new project or some otherwise desirable uses of an existing project uneconomic.

      Joint Venture Risks. The Company has entered into certain joint venture relationships and may initiate future joint venture projects as part of its overall development strategy. A joint venture may involve special risks associated with the possibility that (i) the venture partner at any time may have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of the Company, (ii) the venture partner may take actions contrary to the instructions or requests of the Company, or contrary to the Company’s policies or objectives with respect to its real estate investments, or (iii) the venture partner could experience financial difficulties. Actions by the Company’s venture partners may have the result of subjecting property owned by the joint venture to liabilities in excess of those contemplated by the terms of the joint venture agreement or have other adverse consequences. In addition, the Company’s joint venture partners may dedicate times and resources to existing commitments and responsibilities.

      The Florida Economy. The Company’s businesses are concentrated in Florida and the state’s economic health and growth rate will be important factors in creating demand for the Company’s products and services. The Company’s real estate operations are cyclical and are affected by demographic and economic trends in Florida.

      Regulation. Development of real property in Florida entails an extensive approval process involving overlapping regulatory jurisdictions. Real estate projects must generally comply with the provisions of the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act (the “Growth Management Act”). In addition, development projects that exceed certain specified regulatory thresholds require approval of a comprehensive Development of Regional Impact (“DRI”) application. Compliance with the Growth Management Act and the DRI process is usually lengthy and costly and can be expected to materially affect the Company’s real estate development activities.

      The Growth Management Act requires counties and cities to adopt comprehensive plans guiding and controlling future real property development in their respective jurisdictions. After a local government adopts its comprehensive plan, all development orders and development permits that it issues must be consistent with the plan. Each plan must address such topics as future land use, capital improvements, traffic circulation, sanitation, sewerage, potable water, drainage and solid wastes. The local governments’ comprehensive plans must also establish “levels of service” with respect to certain specified public facilities and services to residents. Local governments are prohibited from issuing development orders or permits if facilities and services are not operating at established levels of service, or if the projects for which permits are requested will reduce the level of service for public facilities below the level of service established in the local government’s comprehensive plan. If the proposed development would reduce the established level of services below the level set by the plan, the development order will require that, at the outset of the project, the developer either sufficiently improve the services to meet the required level or provide financial assurances that the additional services will be provided as the project progresses.

      The Growth Management Act, in some instances, can significantly affect the ability of developers to obtain local government approval in Florida. In many areas, infrastructure funding has not kept pace with growth. As a result, substandard facilities and services can delay or prevent the issuance of permits. Consequently, the Growth Management Act could adversely affect the ability of Florida developers, including the Company, to develop real estate projects.

      The DRI review process includes an evaluation of the project’s impact on the environment, infrastructure and government services, and requires the involvement of numerous federal, state and local environmental, zoning and community development agencies and authorities. Local government approval of any DRI is subject to appeal to the Governor and Cabinet by the Florida Department of Community Affairs, and adverse decisions by the Governor or Cabinet are subject to judicial appeal. The DRI approval process is usually lengthy and costly, and there are no assurances as conditions, standards or requirements may be imposed on a developer with respect to a particular project. The DRI approval process is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s real estate development activities in the future.

      In addition, a substantial portion of the developable property in Florida, including much of the Company’s property, is raw land located in areas where its development may affect the natural habitats of various endangered or protected wildlife species or in sensitive environmental areas such as wetlands and

11


Table of Contents

coastal areas, which are subject to extensive and evolving federal, state and local regulation. Accordingly, federal, state and local wildlife protection, zoning and land use restrictions, as well as community development requirements, may impose significant limitations on the Company’s ability to develop its real estate holdings.

      The Company’s ownership and development of real estate are subject to extensive and changing federal, state and local environmental laws, the provisions and enforcement of which may become more stringent in the future. Pursuant to those laws, the owner or operator of real estate may be required to perform remediation regardless of whether it caused the contamination. The sale or development of properties may also be restricted due to environmental concerns, the protection of endangered species, or the protection of wetlands. In addition, violations of various statutory and regulatory programs can result in civil penalties, remediation expenses, natural resource damages, potential injunctions, cease and desist orders and criminal penalties. The Company is not presently aware of any material contamination at or any material adverse environmental development issues relating to its real estate operations. However, there can be no assurance that environmental issues will not arise in the future relating to the real estate operations.

      ARS is subject to regulation by the Florida Real Estate Commission and must comply with federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the marketing of residential real estate including but not limited to licensing, disclosure and anti-discrimination.

      Advantis is subject to regulation in the states in which it operates and must comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the marketing and management of commercial real estate including but not limited to licensing, disclosure and anti-discrimination.

      Forestry operations generate air emissions through controlled burning. The forestry operations are subject to regulation under the federal Endangered Species Act (“ESA”), Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act as well as similar state laws and regulations. Violations of various statutory and regulatory programs can result in civil penalties, remediation expenses, natural resource damages, potential injunctions, cease and desist orders and criminal penalties. Some environmental statutes impose strict liability, rendering a person liable for environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such person.

      The ESA and counterpart state legislation protect species threatened with possible extinction. A number of species indigenous to the Company’s timberlands have been, and in the future may be, protected under these laws, including the red cockaded woodpecker, the bald eagle and various other species. Protection of endangered and threatened species may include restrictions on timber harvesting, road building and other silvicultural activities on the Company’s land containing the affected species. There can be no assurance that such laws or future legislation or administrative or judicial action with respect to protection of the environment will not adversely affect the Company’s forestry operations.

      In conducting its harvesting activities, the Company voluntarily complies with the “Best Management Practices” recommended by the Florida Division of Forestry. From time to time, proposals have been made in state legislatures regarding the regulation of timber harvesting methods. There can be no assurance that such proposals, if adopted, will not adversely affect the Company or its ability to harvest and sell logs or timber in the manner currently contemplated.

      The Company is not presently aware of any facts that indicate that the Company will be required to incur material costs relating to environmental matters in relation to its forestry operations. However, there can be no assurances that environmental regulation or regulation relating to endangered species or wetlands will not have a material adverse effect on the forestry operations in the future.

      ANRR is subject to regulation by the Surface Transportation Board of the U.S. Department of Transportation and, in some areas, the State of Florida. These governmental agencies must approve, prior to implementation, changes in areas served and certain other changes in operations of ANRR.

      The Company’s transportation operations are subject to extensive local, state and federal environmental laws and regulations, including the federal Clean Air Act, CERCLA and various other state and local environmental laws and regulations. Violations of various statutory and regulatory programs can result in civil penalties, remediation expenses, natural resource damages, potential injunctions, cease and desist orders and criminal penalties. Some environmental statutes impose strict liability, rendering a person liable for environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such person. In addition, the

12


Table of Contents

Company’s present and historic ownership and operation of real property, including yards, in connection with its transportation operations involve the storage, use or disposal of hazardous substances that have contaminated and may in the future contaminate the environment. The Company may also be liable for the costs of cleaning up a site at which it has disposed (intentionally or unintentionally by virtue of, for example, an accident, derailment or leak) or to which it has transported hazardous substances.

      Competition. The real estate industry is generally characterized by significant competition. The Company plans to continue to expand through a combination of residential and commercial developments throughout Florida where the acquisition and/or development of property would, in the opinion of management, result in a favorable risk-adjusted return on investment. There are a number of residential and commercial developers and real estate services companies that compete with the Company in seeking properties for acquisition, resources for development and prospective sellers, purchasers and tenants. Competition from other real estate developers and real estate service companies may adversely affect the Company’s ability to sell homes, to attract sellers and purchasers and to attract and retain tenants. The Company may compete with other entities that have greater financial and other resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that the existence of such competition could not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations and cash flow.

      The forest products industry is highly competitive in terms of price and quality. Many of the Company’s competitors are fully integrated companies with substantially greater financial and operating resources than the Company. The products of the Company are also subject to increasing competition from a variety of non-wood and engineered wood products. In addition, the Company is subject to a potential increase in competition from lumber products and logs imported from foreign sources. Any significant increase in competitive pressures from substitute products or other domestic or foreign suppliers could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

      The Company’s railroad competes directly with other modes of transportation, including motor carriers and, to a lesser extent, ships and barges. Competition is based primarily upon the rate charged and the transit time required, as well as the quality and reliability of the service provided. Any improvement in the cost or quality of these alternate modes of transportation could increase competition from these other modes of transportation and adversely affect the Company’s business.

Item 3.     Legal Proceedings

      The Company is named as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) for the remediation of a designated Superfund site near Tampa, Florida. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) has alleged that the Company caused certain materials to be disposed of at the site over a period of years in the late 1970s or 1980s. The Company has provided USEPA with evidence indicating the Company did not dispose of any materials at the site. The Company has declined an invitation to join a PRP group as a de minimis party. The Company believes that it does not have any liability and continues to vigorously oppose any attempt to impose any liability upon the Company for the remediation of the site.

      The Company received notice of potential involvement in a Superfund Site in Sharonville, Ohio, during the third quarter of 1996. The site was formerly owned and operated by the Company as a container plant. It was sold in the late 1970’s. At this time the extent of the contamination and magnitude of the cleanup is unknown. The Company does not believe, based on its preliminary investigation of the Company’s use of the property, that it is responsible for the contamination, and if found partially responsible, the Company does not believe its liability would be material.

      The Company, under the terms of the various agreements by which it disposed of its sugar assets, is obligated to complete certain defined environmental remediation (the “Remediation”). Approximately $5.0 million of the sales proceeds are being held in escrow pending the completion of the Remediation. The Company must use these funds to pay the costs of the Remediation. Based upon the current environmental studies, the Company does not believe the costs of the Remediation will materially exceed the amount held in escrow. The Company will receive any remaining funds when the Remediation is complete. In the event other environmental matters are discovered beyond those contemplated by the $5.0 million that is held in escrow, the purchasers of the Company’s sugar assets will be responsible for the first $0.5 million of the additional costs; the Company will be responsible for the next $4.5 million; and thereafter the parties shall share the costs equally.

      During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company became aware of an investigation of the Company’s former paper mill site and some adjacent real property in Gulf County, Florida (the “Mill Site”) being conducted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (the “FDEP”). The real property on which the Company’s former paper mill is located is now owned by Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation (“Stone”) and the adjacent real property is owned by the Company. The FDEP submitted a “CERCLA Site Discovery/Prescreening Evaluation” to Region IV of the USEPA in Atlanta in September, 2000. Based on this submission, the USEPA included the Mill Site on the “CERCLIS List”. The “CERCLIS List” is a list of sites which are to be evaluated to determine whether there is a potential presence of actionable

15


Table of Contents

contaminants. The FDEP, under an arrangement with USEPA, began to prepare a Preliminary Assessment (the “PA”) of the Mill Site. The Company, in cooperation with Stone, requested the FDEP to allow the Company and Stone to conduct testing on the Mill Site prior to the submission of a PA, and FDEP then requested the USEPA to allow the Company and Stone to conduct a voluntary investigation prior to submitting a PA, and the USEPA agreed. On September 27, 2001, the Company, Stone and the FDEP executed an Agreement which set forth the parameters under which the Company and Stone were to conduct testing, and the testing has been completed. The Company submitted its Sampling and Analysis Report to the FDEP on January 16, 2002. FDEP, which conducted independent testing of the same samples as the Company, will compare its results to those obtained by the Company. Based on current information including the test results, the Company does not believe its liability, if any, for the possible cleanup of any potential contaminants detected on the Mill Site will be material.

      Compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations is a principal goal of the company. The Company cooperates with federal, state and local agencies regarding its facilities, compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. The Company is not aware of any monetary sanctions to be imposed, which, in the aggregate, are likely to exceed $100,000, nor does it currently believe that corrections, if any, will necessitate significant capital outlays or cause material changes in the business.

      From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation incidental to its business. In the Company’s opinion, no litigation to which the Company is currently a party, if decided adversely to the Company, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operation or financial condition.

(3)  Approximately $359.3 million of proceeds from the sales of the communications segment, linerboard mill and container plants were held in special accounts during 1996. A special distribution of a portion of the net proceeds of the sales of $3.33 per share was paid on March 25, 1997, for stockholders of record on March 21, 1997. The Company made a special distribution of the remaining net proceeds of $.34 per share on December 30, 1997 to stockholders of record on December 19, 1997.
 
(4)  On October 9, 2000 the Company distributed to its shareholders all of its equity interest in Florida East Coast Industries, Inc. (“FLA”). To effect the distribution, the company exchanged its 19,609,216 shares of FLA common stock for an equal number of shares of a new class of FLA common stock. On October 9, 2000, the new class of stock, FLA.B, was distributed prorata to the Company’s shareholders in a tax-free distribution. For each share of the Company common stock owned of record on September 18, 2000, the Company’s shareholders received 0.23103369 of a share of FLA.B common stock.
 
(5)  Includes cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term investments.
 
(6)  The Company uses a supplemental performance measure along with net income to report its operating results. This measure is Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA). EBITDA is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, EBITDA is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. However, the Company believes that EBITDA provides relevant information about its operations and along with net income, is useful in understanding its operating results. Depreciation, amortization, interest expense and all income taxes are excluded from EBITDA (Gross) as well as gains on sales of discontinued operations and gains on the sale of non-strategic land and other assets. Earnings from discontinued operations have been included in EBITDA. Certain impairment losses and other one-time charges have been excluded from EBITDA. EBITDA (Net) is calculated the same as EBITDA (Gross) except that the 46% non-Company owned portion of FECI’s and the 26% non-Company owned portion of St. Joe/ Arvida’s, pre-tax income, depreciation, amortization and interest are deducted from EBITDA (Gross).

Item  7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

      Management’s discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, including statements about our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, estimates and intentions, as well as trends and uncertainties that could affect our results. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, many of which are beyond our control. For additional information concerning these factors and related matters see “Risk Factors” in Item 1 of this Report.

 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

      The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances; additionally we evaluate these results on an on-going basis. Management’s estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

      We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the Company’s more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

      Investment in real estate. Costs associated with a specific real estate project are capitalized once we determine that a real estate project is economically viable. The Company capitalizes external and internal costs, directly associated with the development and construction of identified real estate projects. Indirect costs, such as internal costs of a project field office, that clearly relate to a specific project under development are also capitalized. We capitalize interest, up to an amount not to exceed total interest expense, and real estate taxes on real estate projects while under development. If we determine not to complete a project, any costs previously capitalized are expensed.

      Residential real estate inventory and cost of sales. Real estate inventories include land and common development costs such as roads, sewers, and amenities. A portion of real estate inventory and estimates for costs to complete are allocated to each unit based on the relative sales value of each unit as compared to the estimated sales value of the total project. Estimates of costs to complete for sold homes are recorded at the time of closing. Estimates of sales values or costs to complete may differ from actual results.

      Revenue recognition — percentage-of-completion. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,” revenue for multi-family residences under construction is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method when 1) construction is beyond a preliminary stage, 2) the buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for nondelivery of the unit, 3) sufficient units have already been sold to assure that the entire property will not revert to rental property, 4) sales price is assured and 5) costs can be reasonably estimated. Revenue is recognized in proportion to the percentage of total costs incurred in relation to estimated total costs.

      Impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill. Real estate investments, other long-lived assets, and goodwill are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets and goodwill may not be recoverable, the carrying amount of the asset is compared to the undiscounted expected future cash flows. If this comparison indicates that the asset is impaired, the amount of the impairment is calculated using discounted expected future cash flows. If management’s estimate of the future cash flows differs from actual cash flows, the asset’s recorded amount could be different than its fair value.

 
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

      In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (“FAS 141”), and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”). FAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated or completed after June 30, 2001. FAS 141 also specifies criteria that must be met in order for intangible assets acquired in a purchase

20


Table of Contents

method business combination to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. FAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of FAS 142.

      As a result of FAS 142, the Company will cease amortizing $143.4 million of goodwill; the Company had recorded approximately $9.0 million of amortization on these amounts during 2001 and would have recorded approximately $9.5 million of amortization in 2002. In lieu of amortization, the Company is required to perform an initial impairment review of all goodwill in 2002 and an annual impairment review thereafter. The Company expects to complete the initial reviews during the first quarter of 2002.

      Management does not expect to record an impairment charge upon completion of the initial impairment review. However, there can be no assurance that an impairment charge will not be recorded.

      In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“FAS 144”). FAS 144 addresses issues relating to the implementation of FASB Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of (“FAS 121”) and develops a single accounting method under which long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale are measured at the lower of book value or value less cost to sell. Additionally, FAS 144 expands the scope of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that 1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and 2) will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction.

      The Company is required to adopt Statement 144 no later than the year beginning after December 15, 2001, and plans to adopt its provisions for the quarter ending March 31, 2002. Management does not expect the adoption of Statement 144 for long-lived assets held for use to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The provisions of the Statement for assets held for sale or other disposal generally are required to be applied prospectively after the adoption date to newly initiated disposal activities. Therefore, management cannot determine the potential effects that adoption of Statement 144 will have on the Company’s financial statements.

     Results of Operations

      On October 9, 2000, the Company distributed to its shareholders all of its equity interest in FLA. To effect the distribution, the Company exchanged its 19,609,216 shares of FLA common stock for an equal number of shares of a new class of FLA common stock. On October 9, 2000, the new class of stock, FLA.B, was distributed pro-rata to the Company’s shareholders in a tax-free distribution. For each share of the Company common stock owned of record on September 18, 2000, the Company’s shareholders received 0.23103369 of a share of FLA.B common stock. The Company did not retain any equity interest in FLA after the spin-off was completed.

      At the closing of the transaction, various service agreements between the Company and FLA’s wholly owned subsidiary FDC, formerly known as Gran Central Corporation, became effective. Under the terms of these agreements, which will generally extend through October 2003, FDC retained the Company, through its commercial real estate affiliates, to continue to develop and manage certain commercial real estate holdings of FDC. The terms of these agreements were approved by both the Company’s and FLA’s Boards of Directors, and in the judgment of the boards, reflected terms and conditions typically found in today’s marketplace in agreements between unrelated parties.

      The Company reports revenues from community residential development sales, residential real estate services, land sales, commercial real estate development and services, timber sales, and transportation operations as operating revenues. Real estate revenues are generated from brokerage commissions from sales of real estate, property sales, rental revenues and service fees from management of commercial properties. The Company also reports its equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates as operating revenues.

     Results for 2001 Compared to 2000

      Revenues decreased $12.4 million, or 1% from $880.8 million in 2000 to $868.4 million in 2001, primarily due to FLA operations being included through October 9, 2000 and not in 2001. Community residential development revenues increased $97.4 million to $263.6 million compared to $166.2 million in 2000 due to increased sales activity primarily in northwest Florida. Residential real estate services revenue increased

21


Table of Contents

$20.3 million to $277.3 million in 2001, compared to the $257.0 million earned in 2000 primarily due to increased brokerage, title and mortgage transactions. Land sales from St. Joe Land Company, which includes the sale of conservation lands, decreased $29.4 million to $76.2 million in 2001 as compared to $105.6 million in 2000, primarily due to a large conservation land sale occurring in 2000. Commercial real estate development and services revenues increased $64.4 million to $210.8 million in 2001, compared to $146.4 million in 2000, due to an increase in real estate asset sales and rental revenues, partially offset by FDC operations included through October 9, 2000. Forestry revenues increased $1.3 million to $37.3 million compared to $36.0 million in 2000, primarily due to increased harvest volume. Transportation revenues decreased $165.9 million to $1.8 million from $167.7 million in 2000, primarily due to FLA operations being included through October 9, 2000. Revenues not attributable to a particular segment were $1.4 million in 2001 as compared to $1.9 million in 2000.

      Operating expenses for all segments totaled $702.4 million, an increase of $63.8 million, or 10.0% from $638.6 million in 2000. Operating expenses in the community residential development segment increased $92.7 million to $213.5 million for 2001 as compared to $120.8 million in 2000, due to increased sales activity. Operating expenses in the residential real estate services segment increased $13.9 million to $252.9 million compared to $239.0 million in 2000, primarily due to higher commissions and other variable expenses resulting from increased brokerage transactions. Land sales had operating expenses of $12.6 million for 2001 and 2000, mostly from cost of property sold. Commercial real estate development and services operating expenses increased $76.2 million, to $191.9 million primarily due to an increase in the cost of real estate asset sales associated with increased revenues, partially offset by FDC operating expenses, which were included through October 9, 2000. Forestry’s operating expenses increased $4.9 million to $26.5 million, primarily due to increased harvest volume. Transportation operating expenses decreased $123.5 million to $3.6 million, primarily as a result of FLA operations being included through October 9, 2000. There were $1.4 million and $1.8 million in operating expenses in 2001 and 2000 not attributable to any particular segment, respectively.

      Corporate expense, which represents corporate general and administrative expenses, decreased $6.3 million, or 25% to $18.8 million from $25.1 million in 2000. The decrease is primarily due to costs totaling $5.5 million incurred by the Company in 2000 relating to the spin-off of FLA. In addition, included in 2001 corporate expense is prepaid pension income of $11.6 million compared to $11.1 million in 2000.

      Depreciation and amortization decreased $22.2 million, or 43% to $29.6 million. The decrease is primarily due to the inclusion of FLA operations through October 9, 2000, partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization resulting from expenditures for commercial and residential operating property and acquisitions.

      The Company recorded an impairment loss of $0.5 million in 2001 as compared to impairment losses totaling $6.5 million in 2000. The 2001 impairment loss was related to a commercial property. In 2000, an impairment loss in the amount of $3.4 million was recorded related to the Company’s transportation operation ANRR. Also in 2000, FLA wrote-off goodwill totaling $3.1 million related to its trucking subsidiary.

      Other (expense) income was $(4.0) million in 2001 compared to $8.0 million in 2000. Other (expense) income is made up of investment income, interest expense, gains on valuation of derivatives, gains on sales and dispositions of assets and other income. Investment income decreased to $7.8 million in 2001 compared to $13.8 million in 2000, primarily due to the inclusion of FLA operations through October 9, 2000. Interest expense increased $5.7 million to $18.1 million in 2001 compared to $12.4 million in 2000, primarily due to borrowings on the Company’s senior revolving credit facility and new mortgages on commercial property. The Company recorded no gains on sales and dispositions of assets in 2001, as compared to $1.7 million in 2000. Other income was $6.3 million in 2001 as compared to $5.0 million in 2000. Other income for 2001 includes a $4.0 million gain on valuation of derivatives.

      Income tax expense on continuing operations totaled $42.3 million in 2001 as compared to $56.6 million for 2000. The Company’s effective tax rate for 2001 is 37%. As a result of the FLA spin-off the Company reversed its deferred tax liability previously recorded on the undistributed earnings of FLA and consequently, a deferred income tax benefit of $8.9 million was recorded in its 2000 operations. Excluding the $8.9 million, the Company’s effective tax rate was 39% in 2000.

      Net income for 2001 was $70.2 million or $0.83 per diluted share compared to $100.3 million, or $1.15 per diluted share in 2000.

Commercial real estate development and services revenues decreased $48.1 million to $146.4 million, due to FDC operations through October 9, 2000. Forestry revenues increased $7.9 million to $36.0 million compared to $28.1 million in 1999, primarily due to increased lump sum bid timber sales. Transportation revenues decreased $33.5 million to $167.7 million from $201.2 million in 1999 due to FLA operations being included only through October 9, 2000, the effective date of the FLA spin-off. Revenues not attributable to a particular segment were $1.9 million in 2000 as compared to a loss of $2.2 million recorded on an investment in an unconsolidated affiliate which are not attributable to a particular segment in 1999.

      Operating expenses for all segments totaled $638.6 million, an increase of $49.0 million, or 8.0% from $589.6 million in 1999. Operating expenses in the community residential development segment increased $44.7 million to $120.8 million for 2000 as compared to $76.1 million in 1999, due to increased sales activity. Operating expenses in the residential real estate services segment increased $42.1 million to $239.0 million compared to $196.9 million in 1999. Land sales had operating expenses of $12.6 million, mostly from cost of property sold. Commercial real estate development and services operating expenses decreased $25.1 million, to $115.7 million primarily due to FDC operating expenses being included for a partial year. Forestry’s operating expenses increased $3.2 million to $21.6 million. Transportation operating expenses decreased $29.8 million to $127.1 million as a result of FLA being included for a partial year. Operating expenses for 1999 included special charges of $8.2 million and increased costs due to a new management team being put in place at FLA. There were $1.8 million and $(0.3) million in operating expenses in 2000 and 1999 not attributable to any particular segment, respectively.

      Corporate expense, which represents corporate general and administrative expenses, increased $8.7 million, or 53.0% to $25.1 million from $16.4 million in 1999. In 2000 there were costs incurred by the Company totaling $5.5 million relating to the spin-off of FLA compared to $1.0 million of spin-off related costs incurred in 1999. Prepaid pension income of $11.1 million is included in 2000 corporate expense, compared to $10.8 million in 1999. The remainder of the increase is primarily due to increased employee salaries and benefits.

      Depreciation and amortization increased $2.4 million, or 4.9% to $51.8 million, the majority of the increase pertaining to increased amortization of goodwill.

      The Company recorded impairment losses totaling of $6.5 million in 2000, as compared to $7.2 million in 1999. In 2000, an impairment loss in the amount of $3.4 million was recorded related to the Company’s transportation operation, ANRR. Also in 2000, FLA wrote-off goodwill totaling $3.1 million related to its trucking subsidiary. The 1999 impairments related to an investment in a company involved in the entertainment industry of $5.2 million and a $2.0 million note receivable of FLA’s subsidiaries.

      Other income was $8.0 million in 2000, compared to $32.9 million in 1999. Other income is made up of investment income, interest expense, gains on sales and dispositions of assets and other income. Investment income was $13.8 million in 2000 compared to $13.0 million in 1999, the increase resulting from higher investment yields. Interest expense was $12.4 million in 2000 compared to $2.9 million in 1999 due the borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility. Gain on sales and dispositions of assets were $1.7 million in 2000 compared to $15.4 million in 1999, resulting primarily from a 1999 timberland sale which had a net gain of $8.7 million. Other income was $5.0 million in 2000 as compared to $7.4 million in 1999.

      Income tax expense on continuing operations totaled $56.6 million in 2000 as compared to $24.0 million for 1999. As a result of the FLA spin-off the Company reversed its deferred tax liability previously recorded on the undistributed earnings of FLA and consequently, a deferred income tax benefit of $8.9 million was recorded in its 2000 operations. Excluding the $8.9 million, the Company’s effective tax rate would be 39% in 2000. During 1999, the Company recorded a $26.8 million deferred income tax benefit related to the excise tax on its pension surplus. In 1996, the Company sold the majority of its paper operations, which resulted in a

substantial reduction in employees. Management, at the time, determined that the over-funded status of the pension plans would probably not be realized other than by a plan termination and reversion of assets. Since 1996, the Company had recorded deferred income tax expense on its pension surplus at the statutory rate plus a 50% excise tax that would be imposed if the company were to liquidate its pension plans and revert the assets back to the Company. In light of events, including several acquisitions, which significantly increased the number of participants in the pension plan, along with plan modifications and the Company’s growth strategy, management reevaluated how the pension plan surplus could be utilized. Management believes it is probable that the Company will utilize the pension surplus over time without incurring the 50% excise tax. Therefore, the Company reversed the deferred tax liability related to the 50% excise tax amounting to $26.8 million as a deferred income tax benefit in its 1999 operations. Income taxes on the change in pension surplus will be recorded at the statutory rate in future periods. Excluding the $26.8 million deferred income tax benefit relating to the pension plan reversal, income tax expense for 1999 would have been $50.8 million for an effective rate of 42%.

      Net income for 2000 was $100.3 million or $1.15 per diluted share compared to $124.4 million, or $1.40 per diluted share in 1999. Results for 1999 included income from discontinued operations of the discontinued sugar operation of $5.4 million. Also included in 1999 was the $41.4 million gain on the disposition of the sugar operations assets.

     Discontinued Operations

      The Company recognized $71.8 million in gain ($41.4 million, net of taxes) in 1999, on the combined sale of the land and farming rights.

      As a result of the sale of Talisman in 1999, sugar operations are reported as a discontinued operation for 1999. Revenues for sugar in 1999 were $44.0 million. Related operating expenses were $35.0 million and net income was $5.4 million in 1999.

      Residential real estate services revenues were $277.3 million in 2001, a 7.9% increase over the $257.0 million of revenues in 2000, primarily due to increases in brokerage, title and mortgage transactions. Realty brokerage revenues in 2001 were attributable to 36,670 closed units as compared to 35,893 closed units in 2000. The average home sales price for 2001 increased to $211,000 as compared to $209,000 in 2000. During 2001, ARS processed $542 million in mortgage loans, compared to $350 million in 2000.

      The St. Joe Land Company was created to sell parcels of land, typically 5 to 5,000 acres, from a portion of the total of 800,000 acres of timberland held by the Company in northwest Florida and southwest Georgia. These parcels could be used as large secluded home sites, quail plantations, ranches, farms, hunting and fishing preserves and for other recreational uses. During the third quarter of 2000, the Company began selling conservation land to government and conservation groups.

      The Company is also in the process of introducing a new product called RiverCamps. These are planned settlements in a rustic setting, supplemented with amenities that may include docks, pools, tennis courts and community river houses, with most lots planned to be located on or near waterfront property. The concept envisions home sites and high-quality finished cabins in low-density settings with access to various outdoor

activities such as fishing, hunting, boating, hiking, and horseback riding. Potential sites being evaluated, all of which have water access, range in size from 1,500 to 7,500 acres.

     Results for 2001 compared to 2000

      During 2001, the land sales division, excluding conservation lands, had revenues of $51.7 million, which represented sales of 169 parcels totaling 26,549 acres at an average price of $1,947 per acre. During 2000, the land sales division, excluding conservation lands, had revenues of $58.8 million, which represented sales of 132 parcels totaling 27,289 acres at an average price of $2,048 per acre.

      Gross profit resulting from land sales, excluding conservation lands, totaled $45.7 million, or 88% of total revenue, for 2001, as compared to $51.3 million, or 87% of total revenue, for 2000.

      During 2001, the Company sold a total of 18,070 acres of conservation land for $24.4 million at an average price of $1,351 per acre as follows: a 10,681-acre area called Snipe Island in Taylor County to the State of Florida for approximately $10.0 million, a 372-acre parcel near Toreya State Park in Florida for approximately $653,000, a 1,011-acre parcel in Bay County called Hobbs Pasture to the Northwest Florida Water Management District for $3.6 million, a 3,406-acre parcel in East Bay Apalachicola in Franklin County to the state of Florida for $6.4 million with the assistance of The Nature Conservancy, and a 2,600-acre area in Devil’s Swamp in Walton County, Florida to the Northwest Florida Water Management District for $3.7 million.

      During 2000, the Company sold 24,310 acres of conservation land for $46.8 million at an average price of $1,927 per acre. The Company sold 8,867 acres of conservation land to the state of Florida for $16.3 million with a gross profit of $15.3 million. .This wildlife management area sale was designed to protect 10 miles along the Wacissa River located in Jefferson County, Florida. The Company sold 15,443 acres in southwest Georgia to The Nature Conservancy for $30.5 million with a gross profit of $28.9 million. The land, known as the Chickasawhatchee Swamp, is near Albany, Georgia, and was conveyed to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to be used as a wildlife management area.

      Gross profit resulting from conservation land sales totaled $22.7 million, or 93% of total revenue, for 2001, compared to $44.1 million, or 94% of total revenue, 2000.

      Land sales may not continue at historical levels due to the several large-acre sales in 2001 and 2000, which may not be duplicated. Additionally, no assurance can be given that conservation land sales will continue at historical levels because of potential declines in government spending on acquisition of conservation lands.

     Results for 2000 compared to 1999

      During 2000, the land sales division, excluding conservation lands, had revenues of $58.8 million, which represented sales of 132 parcels totaling 27,289 acres at an average price of $2,048 per acre.

(a)  These properties were sold prior to 2001.

      Rental revenues generated by FDC owned operating properties and FLA rental properties during 2000 were $42.8 million. Operating expenses on rental revenues, excluding depreciation were $14.9 million in 2000.

      Operating revenues generated from Advantis totaled $56.0 million in 2001 compared with $63.0 million in 2000, a decrease of 11% due to decreases in the revenues associated with construction contracts and brokerage services, partially offset by an increase in property management revenues. Advantis operating expenses, excluding depreciation, were $58.8 million during 2001 compared with $62.4 million in 2000, a decrease of 6%, primarily due to decreases in construction costs and brokerage related expenses, partially offset by an increase in property management expenses. Advantis’ expenses include commissions paid to brokers, property management expenses, office administration expenses and construction costs. For 2001, Advantis recorded a pretax loss of $5.2 million, compared to a pretax loss in 2000 of $1.4 million. In 2001, Advantis put in place a new management team and has instituted changes in its property management, recruiting and staffing. Management believes that, as a result of the management changes, operational changes, and an expected improvement in market conditions, that Advantis’ performance should improve in 2002.

      The Company has investments in various real estate developments and affiliates that are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Earnings from these investments contributed $0.2 million to the commercial real estate segment’s revenues during 2001 compared to $1.3 million in 2000. St. Joe Commercial also had management and development fees earned of $2.2 million 2001.

      General and administrative expenses for the commercial group, which are included in operating expenses, were $6.7 million in 2001 compared to $11.6 million in 2000. Of total general and administrative expenses for 2000, $8.4 million are St. Joe Commercial related and $3.2 million are related to FDC. The decrease at St. Joe Commercial is primarily due to a decrease in payroll costs.

      Depreciation and amortization was $10.0 million in 2001 compared to $20.9 million in 2000. Included in depreciation and amortization for 2000 was $14.2 million related to FDC. Excluding FDC operations, depreciation and amortization for St. Joe Commercial increased $3.3 million, primarily as a result of an increase in operating properties.

      Operating revenues generated from Advantis totaled $63.0 million in 2000, an increase of 6.6%, compared with $59.1 million in 1999. The increase was primarily due to an increase in office leasing transactions. Advantis expenses were $62.4 million in 2000, an increase of 10.2% compared to $56.6 million in 1999. The increase in operating expense was primarily due to increased brokerage commissions as well as increased office administration costs.

For 1999, St. Joe Commercial related expenses were $5.7 million and $4.3 million were related to FDC. The decrease at St. Joe Commercial is primarily due to lower payroll costs resulting from cost reduction measures implemented in 2000.

      Depreciation and amortization was $20.9 million in 2000 compared to $18.9 million in 1999 and is attributable to additional goodwill amortization of $1.2 million and additional depreciation on operating properties of $0.8 million. St. Joe Commercial’s increase in depreciation from the addition of operating properties totaled $2.1 million and was offset by a $1.3 million decrease in depreciation on FDC operating properties due to the partial year results in 2000.

      During 2000, the Company’s major pulpwood customer, Florida Coast Paper Company, L.L.C. (“FCP”), filed for protection from its creditors in the Federal Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Pursuant to an order entered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amended fiber supply agreement between the Company and FPC was terminated, effective June 30, 2000. On July 1, 2000, a new fiber agreement with the surviving entity, Jefferson Smurfit (U.S.), also known as Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation went into effect. The agreement is for twelve years and it requires an annual pulpwood volume of 700,000 tons per year that must come from company-owned fee simple lands. Approximately 290,000 acres are encumbered, subject to certain restrictions, by this agreement, although the obligation may be transferred to a third party if a parcel is sold.

      During 2001, the Company purchased Sunshine State Cypress, a small cypress sawmill and mulch processing plant, for $5.5 million in cash.

      The Company intends to extend growing periods for certain portions of its timber and to sell such timber in the form of higher-margin products, which the Company anticipates will increase the long-term profitability of its forestry operations.

     Results for 2001 compared to 2000

      Total revenues for the forestry segment were $37.3 million in 2001, an increase of 3.6% compared to 2000 revenues of $36.0 million. Total sales under the Company’s fiber agreement with Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation, were $14.3 million (709,000 tons) in 2001 as compared to $16.5 million (682,000 tons) in 2000. The decrease in revenues is due to decreasing prices per the terms of the fiber supply agreement, partially offset by an increase in volume. Sales to other customers totaled $21.1 million (873,000 tons) in 2001 compared to $18.5 million (678,000 tons) in 2000. The increase in sales to other customers is due to an increase in volume, partially offset by a decrease in prices. The Company also realized $1.5 million in revenues in 2001 from Sunshine State Cypress. The forestry segment recorded revenues from land sales of $0.4 million in 2001, compared to $1.0 million in 2000.

      Operating expenses in 2001 increased $4.9 million, or 22.7%, to $26.5 million. Cost of sales, included in operating expenses, increased $4.5 million to $24.3 million compared to 2000 cost of sales of $19.8 million due to higher harvest volumes and the addition of cost of sales of $1.5 million from Sunshine State Cypress. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales were higher in 2001 than in 2000 due to the lump sum timber sales in 2000, which do not incur cut and haul charges. Other operating expenses were $2.2 million in 2001 and $1.8 million in 2000.

     Results for 2000 compared to 1999

      Total revenues for 2000 increased $7.9 million, or 28.1%, to $36.0 million compared to 1999 revenues of $28.1 million. Sales under the fiber agreement were $16.5 million (682,000 tons) in 2000 as compared to $18.2 million (643,000 tons) in 1999. The lower sales generated in 2000 compared to 1999 relates to lower delivered price of wood per the terms of the fiber agreement, since pulpwood prices have fallen over the past four quarters. Sales to other customers increased to $18.5 million (678,000 tons) in 2000 from $9.4 million (376,000 tons) in 1999. In the first quarter of 2000, the Company conducted several lump sum bid timber sales to take advantage of favorable market conditions. The Company did not conduct such sales in 1999, as the market conditions were not favorable for such sales. Revenues in 2000 include bulk land sales of $1.0 million compared to $0.5 million in 1999.

Cost of sales, included in operating expenses, increased $3.1 million, or 18.6%, to $19.8 million compared to 1999 due to higher harvest volumes. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales were lower in 2000 than in 1999, due to the lump sum timber sales in 2000, which do not incur cut and haul charges. Other operating expenses were $1.8 million in 2000 and $1.7 million in 1999.

      The Company’s transportation operations consist of ANRR and, through October 9, 2000, the effective date of the spin-off of FLA, the operations of Florida East Coast Railway Company (“FEC”), International Transit, Inc. (“ITI”), and EPIK Communications Incorporated (“EPIK”), FLA’s telecommunications division.

     Results for 2001 compared to 2000

      ANRR’s operations reflect lost traffic from Seminole Electric Cooperative, Inc. (“Seminole”). Seminole halted shipments of coal in January 1999, and filed a lawsuit seeking to terminate its contract with ANRR to provide transportation of coal from Port St. Joe. Florida to Chattahoochee, Florida. ANRR subsequently filed suit to enforce the contract. ANRR’s workforce was reduced significantly, commensurate with the loss in traffic. In December 2000, ANRR settled the contract dispute with Seminole and received $10.0 million, which has been included in revenues in 2000.

      ANRR’s operating revenues decreased $11.0 million, or 85.9% to $1.8 million in 2001 as compared to $12.8 million in 2000. Included in 2000 operating revenues is the $10.0 million settlement received by ANRR from Seminole and contractual payments from Seminole of $0.6 million. ANRR’s operating expenses increased $0.6 million to $3.6 million in 2001 as compared to $3.0 million in 2000, primarily due to increased legal fees. In addition, the Company recorded a $3.4 million impairment loss in 2000 to reflect the current net realizable value of ANRR’s net assets. The Company is currently working to develop new commerce at Port St. Joe and along the ANRR line, which could utilize ANRR’s freight handling capacity. Unless new traffic materializes or material operating cost savings can be realized, management believes ANRR will continue to operate at a deficit.

      FLA’s transportation operating revenues were $154.9 million through October 9, 2000. FLA’s operating expenses were $124.1 million through October 9, 2000. Included in 2000 operating expenses are restructuring and other costs totaling $2.2 million associated with revamping ITI. In addition, FLA recorded a $3.1 million impairment loss related to the write-off of ITI’s goodwill.

      Depreciation expense for ANRR was $1.5 million and $2.1 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Depreciation expense for FLA was $14.7 million in 2000.

     Results for 2000 compared to 1999

      ANRR’s operating revenues increased $6.3 million, or 96.9% to $12.8 million in 2000 as compared to $6.5 million in 1999. Included in 2000 operating revenues is the $10.0 million settlement received by ANRR from Seminole and contractual payments from Seminole of $0.6 million. In 1999, included in the $6.5 million of revenues recorded by ANRR were contractual payments from Seminole of $4.5 million. ANRR’s operating

expenses increased $5.6 million to $6.4 million in 2000 as compared to $4.5 million in 1999. The Company recorded a $3.4 million impairment loss in operating expenses in 2000 to reflect the current net realizable value of ANRR’s net assets.

      FLA’s transportation operating revenues were $154.9 million through October 9, 2000 compared to $194.6 million for the full year of 1999. FLA’s operating expenses were $124.1 million through October 9, 2000 as compared to $151.8 million in 1999. Included in 2000 operating expenses are restructuring and other costs totaling $2.2 million associated with revamping ITI. In addition, FLA recorded a $3.1 million impairment loss related to the write-off of ITI’s goodwill. Included in 1999 results was $8.2 million in special charges that FECR took in the second quarter of 1999 relating to a reorganization and workforce reduction in its railway operations.

 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company’s sources of cash are from its operations, investments and other liquid assets, sales of land holdings, borrowings from financial institutions and other debt. The Company uses cash for real estate development, construction and homebuilding and the repurchase of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s real estate development is dependent upon the availability of funds from operations, sales of land holdings, and/or from the availability of funds under the Company’s existing credit facilities and future debt borrowings.

      The ability of the Company to generate operating cash flows is directly related to the real estate market, primarily in Florida, and the economy in general. As a result of September 11, 2001, considerable economic and political uncertainties still exist and could have adverse effects on consumer buying behavior, construction costs, availability of labor and materials and other factors affecting the Company and the real estate industry in general. Real estate market conditions in the Company’s regions of development, particularly in northwest Florida, have generally remained healthy. After a downturn in the immediate aftermath of September 11, tourism in the northwest Florida region has rebounded primarily from drive-in markets. Long term prospects of job growth, coupled with strong in-migration population expansion, indicate that demand levels should be favorable over the next two to five years.

      In August 1998, in February 2000, and in May 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a total of $500 million for the repurchase of the Company’s outstanding common stock from time to time on the open market (“the St. Joe Stock Repurchase Program”). On December 6, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with the Alfred I. DuPont Testamentary Trust (the “Trust”), the majority stockholder of the Company, and the Trust’s beneficiary, The Nemours Foundation (the “Foundation”), to participate in the St. Joe Stock Repurchase Program for a 90-day period. This agreement was renewed for two additional 90-day periods. The last of these agreements expired on September 6, 2001 and has not been renewed. As of December 31, 2001 the Company had repurchased 12,004,366 shares in the open market and 4,001,400 shares from the Trust. During 2001, $177.6 million of cash was used to repurchase shares. The Company’s intention is to repurchase between $100 million and $120 million of Company stock over the course of 2002. The Company’s spending to repurchase stock is discretionary at the Board and management’s direction.

      Net cash provided by operations in 2001 was $55.9 million. Included in cash flows from operations were expenditures of $229.5 million relating to its community residential development segment. Capital expenditures, other than community residential development expenditures, in 2001 were $223.4 million consisting of commercial property acquisitions and development, hospitality development, and other property, plant and equipment. The Company secured borrowings, collateralized by commercial property totaling $72.2 million during 2001. The Company expended $177.6 million in 2001 for the purchase of treasury stock.

      The Company borrowed a net $90.0 million of its $250.0 million revolving credit line during 2001 and the balance outstanding as of December 31, 2001 was $205,000. The $250 million credit facility matures March 30, 2004, as amended on February 4, 2002. This facility will be available for general corporate purposes, including repurchases of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The facility includes financial performance covenants relating to its leverage position, interest coverage and a minimum net worth requirement and also negative pledge restrictions. The Company currently has adequate coverage under its financial covenants and is in compliance.

      On February 7, 2002, the Company issued in a private placement, a series of senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $175.0 million. Maturities range from three to ten years. The notes bear a fixed rate of interest ranging from 5.64% — 7.37% and interest will be payable semiannually. Upon receipt of proceeds, the Company partially paid down its $250.0 million line of credit. The notes contain financial covenants similar to those in its $250.0 million line of credit.

      For 2000, net cash provided by operations was $2.6 million. Included in cash flows from operations were expenditures of $196.4 million relating to its community residential development segment. Capital expenditures, other than community residential development expenditures, in 2000 were $254.0 million consisting of building acquisitions, real estate development and FLA transportation and telecom expenditures. Excluding expenditures related to FLA, the Company expended $100.0 million, primarily for commercial acquisitions and development. During 2000, the Company borrowed $115 million, net of repayments, of its $250 million revolving credit agreement.

      Management believes that the financial condition of the Company is strong and that the Company’s cash, investments, real estate and other assets, operating cash flows, and borrowing capacity, taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating requirements and future capital expenditures related to the expansion of existing businesses, including the continued investment in real estate developments. If the liquidity of the Company is not adequate to fund operating requirements, capital development, and stock repurchase, the Company has various alternatives to change its cash flow. The Company has no obligation to continue the repurchase program or maintain it at any particular level of purchase, the Company may alter the timing of its development projects and/or the Company may sell existing assets.

      To finance the construction of certain on-site infrastructure improvements at two of our projects, we have used community development district (“CDD”) bonds. The CDD raises funds through the issuance of generally tax-free bonds sold to investors. The principal and interest payments on the bonds are paid by assessments on, or from sales proceeds of, the properties benefited by the improvements of the bond offerings. The amount of bond obligations that have been issued total $33.5 million at December 31, 2001, of which $18.9 million has been expended. Although the Company is not obligated directly to repay all of the bonds, we record a liability for future assessments which are fixed and determinable and will be levied against properties owned by the Company. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 91-10, “Accounting for Special Assessments and Tax Increment Financing,” the Company has accrued $2.9 million as of December 31, 2001 of this bond obligation.

      The Company selectively has entered into business relationships through the form of partnerships and joint ventures with unrelated third parties. These partnerships and joint ventures are utilized to develop or manage real estate projects and services. The partnerships and joint ventures are not consolidated when the Company does not have control by voting rights and does not control the major decisions directly or indirectly of the partnership, but are recorded on either the equity method or cost method of accounting for unconsolidated affiliates. The Company’s employees do not benefit financially from these partnerships although they may serve as officers or directors of these partnerships. In connection with the operation of these partnerships and joint ventures, the partners may agree to make capital contributions from time to time. The Company believes that future contributions, if required, will not have a significant impact to the Company’s liquidity or financial position. At December 31, 2001, six of these partnerships had debt outstanding totaling $132.7 million. The Company is wholly or jointly and severally liable as guarantor on five of these credit obligations. The maximum amount of the debt guaranteed by the Company is $100.2 million and the outstanding balance at December 31, 2001 was $83.3 million.

     Forward Purchase Contract

      The Company has entered into a three-year forward sale transaction with a major financial institution that will lead to the ultimate disposition of its investments in equity securities. Under the forward sale agreement, the Company received approximately $111.1 million in cash and must settle the forward transaction by October 15, 2002 by delivering either cash or a number of these equity securities to the financial institution. The agreement permits the Company to retain an amount of the securities that represents appreciation up to 20% of their value on October 15, 1999 should the value of the securities increase. The securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet and the related unrealized gain, net of tax, is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company recorded a liability in long-term debt for

Table of Contents

approximately $111.1 million, which will increase as interest expense is imputed at an annual rate of 7.9%. The liability will also increase by the amount, if any, that the securities increase beyond the 20% that the Company retains. The liability on December 31, 2001 was $131.2 million and is included in long-term debt. On February 26, 2002, the Company settled a portion of the forward sale by delivering equity securities to the financial institution. The liability related to the contracts that were settled was $97.0 million at the time of settlement and the resulting gain to be recognized in the first quarter of 2002 will be approximately $94.6 million pre-tax, $61.5 million, net of tax. The balance of the liability, if held to maturity on October 15, 2002 will be $37.7 million, plus any appreciation in the securities beyond the first 20%.

Item 7a.     Market Risk

      The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk related to the Company’s long-term debt. In March 2000, the Company entered into a senior revolving credit facility for up to $200.0 million, which was increased to $250.0 million in September 2000 and matures in March 2004. As of December 31, 2001, $205.0 million was outstanding. This debt accrues interest at different rates based on timing of the loan and the Company’s preferences, but generally will be either the one, two, three or six month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a LIBOR margin in effect at the time of the loan. The Company’s ARS subsidiary began originating mortgage loans during 2001. As a result, ARS has outstanding mortgages held for sale totaling $32.7 million at December 31, 2001 and has a $50 million warehouse line of credit with an outstanding balance of $32.1 million at December 31, 2001. The line bears an interest rate based on the one-month LIBOR plus 1.2%. These loans subject the Company to interest rate risk relating to the change in the LIBOR rates. The Company manages its interest rate exposure by monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates.

      In addition, in order to minimize the Company’s price risk related to its equity securities, the Company entered into a three year forward sale transaction in 1999 that will lead to the ultimate disposition of the securities by October 15, 2002. The Company received approximately $111.1 million in cash at the time of transaction. The agreement allows that the Company may retain an amount of the securities that represents appreciation up to 20% of their value on October 15, 1999 should the value increase. Conversely, if the value of the securities decreases below their value on October 15, 1999, the Company retains no additional liability.

     Quantitative Disclosures

      The table below presents principal amounts and related weighted average interest rates by year of maturity for the Company’s investment portfolio, mortgages held for sale and its long-term debt. The weighted average interest rates for the various fixed rate investments and its long-term debt are based on the actual rates

as of December 31, 2001. Weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at December 31, 2001.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

The St. Joe Company:

      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The St. Joe Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flow for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The St. Joe Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

      As discussed in note 2 to the financial statements, during 2001, The St. Joe Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, which changes the way derivative instruments are recorded.

THE ST. JOE COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999
(Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)

1. Nature of Operations

      The St. Joe Company, (the “Company”) is a real estate operating company primarily engaged in community residential, commercial, hospitality and leisure resort development, along with residential and commercial real estate services and land sales. The Company also has significant interests in timber and a transportation operation. Additionally, the Company previously had sugar operations, which it discontinued for accounting purposes in the fourth quarter of 1998 and ceased all operations by the end of 1999. While the Company’s real estate operations are in various states throughout the southeast, the majority of the real estate operations, as well as the transportation operation, are principally within the state of Florida. Forestry has operations in both Florida and Georgia. Consequently, the Company’s performance, and particularly that of its real estate operations, is significantly affected by the general health of the Florida economy.

 
FLA Spin-off

      On October 9, 2000, the Company distributed to its shareholders all of its equity interest in Florida East Coast Industries, Inc. (“FLA”). To effect the distribution, the Company exchanged its 19,609,216 shares of FLA common stock for an equal number of shares of a new class of FLA common stock. On October 9, 2000, the new class of stock, FLA.B, was distributed pro-rata to the Company’s shareholders in a tax-free distribution. For each share of the Company common stock owned of record on September 18, 2000, the Company’s shareholders received 0.23103369 of a share of FLA.B common stock. The holders of the new class of FLA common stock will be entitled to elect 80% of the members of the Board of Directors of FLA, but the new FLA common stock will otherwise have substantially identical rights to the existing common stock. The Company does not retain any equity interest in FLA after the spin-off.

      At the closing of the transaction, various service agreements between the Company and FLA’s wholly owned subsidiary Flagler Development Company (“FDC”), formerly known as Gran Central Corporation, became effective. Under the terms of these agreements, which extend for up to three years after the closing of the transaction, FDC will retain the Company, through its commercial real estate affiliates, to continue to develop and manage certain commercial real estate holdings of FDC. The terms of these agreements have been approved by both the Company’s and FLA’s Boards of Directors, and in the judgement of the boards, reflect arms-length terms and conditions typically found in today’s marketplace.

 
Real Estate

      The Company currently conducts its real estate operations in four principal segments: community residential development, residential real estate services, commercial development and management and land sales. The Company’s community residential development division owns large tracts of land in west Florida near Tallahassee, Florida and northwest Florida including significant Gulf of Mexico frontage. The Company is developing and managing residential communities on certain lands owned by the Company, as well as through its 74% owned limited partnership, St. Joe/ Arvida Company, L.P. (“Arvida”). The Company also has a 26% interest in the limited partnership interests of Arvida/ JMB Partners, L.P., a limited partnership that is developing a residential community in Florida. The Company also conducts residential homebuilding in North Carolina and South Carolina through Saussy Burbank, Inc., (“Saussy Burbank”).

      The Company owns a residential real estate brokerage, sales and services business in Florida through its acquisition of Arvida Realty Services (“ARS”). The Company owns and develops commercial properties through several wholly owned subsidiaries and partnership ventures. Prior to the FLA spin-off the Company also owned and developed commercial properties through FDC. Through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Advantis Real Estate Services Inc. (“Advantis”), the Company provides commercial real estate services including brokerage, property management and construction management. The Company is also a partner in several joint ventures that develop and manage commercial property in Florida and Georgia. The St. Joe Land Company (“St. Joe Land”) was created during 1999 to sell parcels of land from a portion of the

Table of Contents

total of 800,000 acres of timberland held by the Company in northwest Florida and southwest Georgia. In 1999, the Company also started a hospitality development group that offers fee-based development services for hospitality real estate projects including hotels, resorts, and timeshare facilities.
 
Forestry

      The Company is the largest private owner of timberlands in Florida. The principal product of the Company’s forestry operations is softwood pulpwood. In addition, the Company produces and sells sawtimber and mulch.

      A significant portion of the wood harvested by the Company is sold under a long-term wood fiber supply agreement. Prior to July 1, 2000, the Company was party to an agreement with Florida Coast Paper, L.L.C. (“FCP”) to allow it to supply 700,000 tons of pulpwood per year to the mill. In August of 1998, FCP shut down its mill in Port St. Joe. Under the terms of the amended fiber supply agreement with FCP, the Company began redirecting the volumes of pulpwood to another mill in Panama City, Florida. Sales of pulpwood resumed in November of 1998 and continued through June 30, 2000 with no significant loss in volume of sales. FCP filed for protection from its creditors in the Federal Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Pursuant to an order entered by the Bankruptcy Court, the fiber supply agreement was terminated, effective June 30, 2000. On July 1, 2000, a new fiber agreement with the surviving entity, Jefferson Smurfit, also known as Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation went into effect. The agreement is for twelve years and it requires an annual pulpwood volume of 700,000 tons per year that must come from company-owned fee simple lands. At December 31, 2001, approximately 290,000 acres were encumbered, subject to certain restrictions, by this agreement, although the obligation may be transferred to a third party if a parcel is sold.

      The Company also plans to continue to sell some of its timber resources through the Company’s real estate division, St. Joe Land.

 
Transportation

      The Company owns the Apalachicola Northern Railroad Company (“ANRR”), a short-line railroad that operates between Port St. Joe and Chattahoochee, Florida. Its principal commodities include coal, pulpwood, pulpboard woodchips, and tall oil chemicals. Prior to the FLA spin-off, the Company also owned the majority of FLA’s transportation subsidiary, Florida East Coast Railway (“FEC”).

 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Principles of Consolidation

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FLA and its wholly owned subsidiaries through October 9, 2000, the effective date of the spin-off. Investments in joint ventures and limited partnerships in which the Company does not have majority voting control are accounted for by the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

     Revenue Recognition

      Operating revenues consist of real estate property sales, brokerage commissions, real estate service fees and real estate development fees, rental revenues, transportation revenues, revenues from sales of forestry products and equity in the income of unconsolidated investments.

      Revenues from real estate property sales and brokerage commissions earned therefrom are recognized upon closing of sales contracts or upon settlement of condemnation proceedings. A portion of real estate inventory and estimates for costs to complete are allocated to each housing unit based on the relative sales value of each unit as compared to the sales value of the total project. Revenue for multi-family residences under construction is recognized, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,” using the percentage-of-completion method when 1) construction is beyond a preliminary stage, 2) the buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for nondelivery of the unit, 3) sufficient units have already been sold to assure that the entire property will not revert to rental property, 4) sales price is assured and 5) costs can be reasonably estimated. Revenue is recognized in proportion to the percentage of total costs incurred in relation to estimated total costs.

F-7


Table of Contents

      Real estate service fees are recognized in the period in which the services are performed. Real estate development fees are recognized as billed, which is essentially when the related services are completed. Rental revenues are recognized upon completion of rental and lease contracts, using the straight-line basis over the life of the contract.

      Transportation revenues are substantially recognized upon completion of transportation services at destination. Revenues from sales of forestry products are recognized generally on delivery of the product to the customer.

      Nonrefundable loan origination fees on mortgage loans held for sale, net of direct loan origination costs are included in the carrying value of mortgage loans held for sale.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

      Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank demand accounts, money market accounts, and repurchase agreements having original maturities at acquisition date of 90 days or less. Cash flows related to community residential real estate developments are included in operating activities on the statements of cash flow.

     Investment in Real Estate

      Investment in real estate is carried at lower of cost or fair value. Depreciation is computed on straight-line and accelerated methods over the useful lives of the assets ranging from 15 to 40 years. Depletion of timber is determined by the units of production method. An adjustment to depletion is recorded, if necessary, based on the continuous forest inventory (“CFI”) analysis prepared every 5 years.

     Property, Plant and Equipment

      Depreciation is computed using both straight-line and accelerated methods over the useful lives of various assets. Gains and losses on normal retirements of these items are credited or charged to accumulated depreciation.

     Goodwill and Deferred Compensation

      Goodwill associated with the Company’s business combinations was being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 10 years to 30 years through December 31, 2001. Deferred compensation is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year vesting period, which is deemed to be the period for which services are performed.

      In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (“FAS 141”), and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”). FAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated or completed after June 30, 2001. FAS 141 also specifies criteria that must be met by intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination in order for them to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. FAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of FAS 142.

      As a result of FAS 142, the Company will cease to amortize $143.4 million of goodwill as of January 1, 2002. The company has recorded approximately $9.0 million of amortization on these amounts during 2001. In lieu of amortization, the Company is required to perform an initial impairment review of all goodwill in 2002 and an annual impairment review thereafter. The Company expects to complete the initial reviews during the first quarter of 2002.

     Earnings Per Common Share

      Earnings per common share (“EPS”) are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS assumes weighted average options to purchase 3,329,331, 1,908,592, and 862,034 shares of common stock in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively, have been exercised using the treasury stock method. In August 1998, in February 2000, and in May 2001, the Company’s Board of

F-8


Table of Contents

Directors authorized a total of $500,000 for the repurchase of the Company’s outstanding common stock from time to time on the open market (“the St. Joe Stock Repurchase Program”). On December 6, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with the Alfred I. DuPont Testamentary Trust (the “Trust”), the majority stockholder of the Company, and the Trust’s beneficiary, The Nemours Foundation (the “Foundation”), to participate in the St. Joe Stock Repurchase Program for a 90-day period. This agreement was renewed for two additional 90-day periods. The last of these agreements expired on September 6, 2001 and has not been renewed. As of December 31, 2001 the Company had repurchased 12,004,366 shares in the open market and 4,001,400 shares from the Trust. Weighted average basic and diluted shares taking into consideration the treasury shares repurchased and the weighted average options used in calculating EPS for each of the years presented is as follows:
                         
2001 2000 1999



Basic
    80,959,416       84,958,872       87,690,518  
Diluted
    84,288,746       86,867,464       88,552,552  

     Stock-Based Compensation

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair-value based method defined in SFAS No. 123 has been applied. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. The Company has elected to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.

     Comprehensive Income

      The Company’s comprehensive income differs from net income due to changes in the net unrealized gains on marketable securities available for sale and in the value of the derivatives that have been designated to hedge the fair value of marketable securities available for sale. The Company has elected to disclose comprehensive income in its Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.

     Income Taxes

      The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

     Investments

      Investments consist principally of common stocks, derivative instruments, and certificates of deposit. Investments maturing in three months to one year are classified as short term. Those having maturities in excess of one year are classified as marketable securities.

      The Company classifies its marketable equity securities and related derivative instruments as either trading or available-for-sale. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. All other securities not included in trading are classified as available-for-sale.

      Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related income tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized.

      During periods prior to January 1, 2001, the Company accounted for derivatives against its equity securities at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity along with the underlying equity securities’ net unrealized gain or loss. On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 133”) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” an amendment to FAS 133 (“FAS 138”). FAS 138 and FAS 133 establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities and require entities to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2001, all derivative instruments held by the Company are designated as hedges of the fair value of the Company’s marketable securities and are included at fair value in marketable securities on the balance sheet. Changes in the intrinsic value of the derivatives are recorded through the statement of income and are offset by changes in the fair value of the securities. Changes in the time value component of the change in fair value are also recorded through the statement of income as they are excluded from the Company’s assessment of hedge effectiveness.

      A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

      Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.

     Long-Lived Assets

      The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. During 2001, the Company recorded a $500 impairment loss on a commercial property. During 2000, the Company recorded a $3,355 impairment loss to reflect the current net realizable value of ANRR’s net assets and FLA recorded a write-down of goodwill totaling $3,100 in connection with a restructuring of its trucking subsidiary. During 1999, the Company recorded a $5,183 write-down encompassing its entire investment in Entros, its former entertainment segment, and a $1,979 write-down of a note receivable of one of FLA’s subsidiaries, deemed to be uncollectible.

     Reclassifications

      Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.

     Supplemental Cash Flow Information

      The Company paid $14,414, $7,559, and $3,790 for interest and $2,497, $30,665, and $63,882 for income taxes in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The Company capitalized interest expense of $7,043, $5,328 and $2,701 in 2001, 2000, 1999, respectively.

      The Company’s non-cash activities included the distribution of its equity interest in FLA totaling $393,460 on October 9,2000. Other non-cash activities were the issuance of $1,350 of long-term debt in purchase business combinations in 1999 and the contribution of $7,762 in property to an investment in unconsolidated affiliate in 1999.

     Estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.     Business Combinations

      During 2001, ARS acquired three residential real estate services companies, Arvida purchased the remaining interest in a previously 50%-owned homebuilding subsidiary, and the Company purchased a cypress mill. The three ARS companies were acquired for a total purchase price of $1,300, resulting in goodwill of $1,238. Arvida purchased the remaining 50% interest in McNeill Burbank, bringing its ownership interest to 100%. The purchase price was $1,117. The Company also purchased Sunshine State Cypress (“Sunshine State”), a cypress mill, for $5,506, resulting in goodwill of $5,823. In addition, the company accrued additional contingent consideration in 2001 of $3,500 related to the 1998 acquisition of ARS, $1,011 related to the Saussy Burbank acquisition, and $938 related to the McNeill Burbank acquisition.

      During 2000, ARS acquired 8 residential real estate services companies for a total purchase price of $1,968, resulting in goodwill of $1,855. Also during 2000, the Company accrued additional contingent consideration of $3,000 related to ARS acquisitions and $596 related to the Saussy Burbank acquisition.

      Additional contingent consideration of $3,500 related to the ARS acquisition will be accrued in 2002 and paid in 2003 if certain performance targets of ARS are met. Additional contingent consideration will also be paid through 2003 in relation to the McNeill Burbank acquisition if certain performance targets of McNeill Burbank are met. There will be no additional payments of contingent consideration related to Saussy Burbank.

      All of these acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and as such, the results of their operations are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. None of the 2001 or 2000 acquisitions were significant to the operations of the Company in the year in which they were acquired or the year preceding the acquisition.

      Goodwill related to acquisitions completed during 2001 and 2000 is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of 20 years, 10 years and 15 years for ARS, Saussy Burbank and Sunshine State Cypress, respectively.

4.     Discontinued Operations

      On March 25, 1999, the Company sold all of the sugar lands owned or leased by Talisman Sugar Corporation (“Talisman”), the Company’s former wholly-owned sugar subsidiary, for $133.5 million in cash to the United States of America and the State of Florida (the “Governments”).

      Talisman retained ownership of the sugar mill until August, 1999 when it was sold to a third party. The Company, under the terms of the various agreements by which it disposed of its sugar assets, is obligated to complete certain defined environmental remediation (the “Remediation”). Approximately $5.0 million of the sales proceeds is held in escrow pending the completion of the Remediation. The Company must use these funds to pay the costs of the Remediation. Based upon the current environmental studies, the Company does not believe the costs of the Remediation will materially exceed the amount held in escrow. The Company will receive any remaining funds when the Remediation is complete. In the event other environmental matters are discovered beyond those contemplated by the $5.0 million that is held is escrow, the purchasers of the Company’s sugar assets will be responsible for the first $0.5 million of the cleanup. The Company will be responsible for the next $4.5 million, thereafter the parties shall share the costs equally.

      In addition, approximately $1.7 million of the sales price is being held in escrow, representing the value of land subject to the Remediation. As the Company completes the cleanup of a particular parcel, an amount equal to the land value on that parcel will be released from escrow.

      The Company recognized $71.8 million in gain ($41.4 million, net of taxes) in 1999, on the combined sale of the land and farming rights.

      It is the policy of the Company to enter into hedging activities when they are deemed beneficial and cost effective for the purpose of protecting the fair value or future cash flows associated with a particular asset or liability. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company was party to forward sale contracts (“Forward Sale Contracts”) that provide for the sale of a portfolio of equity securities held by the Company to a third party on October 15, 2002. This transaction was initiated on October 15, 1999 in order to minimize the Company’s price risk related to the securities. Upon execution of the contracts, the Company received approximately $111.1 million in cash. The Company must settle the Forward Sale Contracts by October 15, 2002 by delivering either cash or a number of shares to the financial institution. The agreement also allows that the Company may retain an amount of the securities that represents appreciation up to 20% of their value of October 15, 1999.

      On January 1, 2001, the company adopted FAS 133 and FAS 138. Pursuant to FAS 133 and FAS 138, the Company has designated the Forward Sale Contracts as a hedge of the fair value of the securities, which fixed the fair value at inception. The Forward Sale Contracts were the only derivatives held by the Company during the period. The changes in fair value of the Forward Sale Contracts are recorded through the statement of income. However, such changes are offset by changes in fair value of the underlying securities. The net impact of the adoption of these standards, recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income through a transition adjustment at January 1, 2001, was approximately $10.0 million, net of income taxes.

      During 2001, the value of the Forward Sale Contracts increased by $13.8 million to $42.8 million. During 2001, the change in intrinsic value of the Forward Sale Contracts was recorded through the statement of income, offset by the change in fair value of the underlying securities. The net impact to the statement of income for the year was a gain of $4.0 million which was included in other income and represents the time value component of the change in fair value of the Forward Sale Contracts which the Company is excluding from its assessment of hedge effectiveness.

    21,195        
Recourse debt, interest payable monthly at 6.95%, secured by a commercial building, due September 1, 2008
    18,953        
Industrial Development Revenue Bonds, variable-rate interest payable quarterly based on the Bond Market Association index (1.9% at December 31, 2001), secured by a letter of credit, due January 1, 2008
    4,000        
Community Development District debt, secured by certain residential real estate, due May 1, 2005 - May 1, 2031, bearing interest at 5.95% to 6.95%
    2,902        
Non-interest bearing notes payable to former owners of acquired companies due through 2002
    578       2,761  
Various secured and unsecured notes and capital leases, bearing interest at various rates
    43       269  
     
     
 
Total debt
  $ 498,015     $ 296,848  
     
     
 

      The aggregate maturities of long-term debt subsequent to December 31, 2001 are as follows; 2002, $393,667; 2003, $1,292; 2004, $22,569; 2005, $3,119; 2006, $1,587; thereafter, $75,781.

      Based on the current terms and rates of the Company’s debt, carrying value approximates fair value. The revolving credit agreement has a below market interest rate of 0.5% and is believed to be at fair value since the terms and conditions are commensurate with the nature of the underlying security.

      Subsequent to year-end, the Company issued in a private placement of a series of senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $175.0 million. Maturities range from three to ten years. The notes bear a fixed rate of interest ranging from 5.64% - 7.37% and the interest will be payable semiannually. Upon receipt of proceeds, the Company partially paid down its senior revolving line of credit. The notes contain financial covenants similar to those covenants on its senior revolving line of credit.

      Based on the timing of reversal of future taxable amounts and the Company’s history of reporting taxable income, the Company believes that the deferred tax assets will be realized and a valuation allowance is not considered necessary. There were current deferred tax assets totaling $7,035 at December 31, 2001. There were no current deferred tax assets at December 31, 2000. Included in other assets at December 31, 2001 is an income tax receivable in the amount of approximately $14,000.

12.     Employee Benefits Plans

      The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans that cover substantially all of its salaried employees excluding FLA. The benefits are based on the employees’ years of service or years of service and compensation during the last five or ten years of employment. The Company complies with the minimum funding requirements of ERISA.

obligation for salaried employees was 4.0% in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The expected long-term rate of return on assets were 9.2% in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

      The Company’s pension plans are in an overfunded position with the reduction in employees resulting from the sales of several of the Company’s operations, and in prior years the Company thought it unlikely that the overfunding would be realized other than by a plan termination and reversion of assets and a 50% excise tax was included on the tax effects of the prepaid asset. During 1999, due to recent events such as acquisitions which greatly increased the number of participants in the Company’s pension plan, along with plan modifications and the Company’s growth strategy, management reevaluated how the pension surplus could be utilized. Management believes it is probable that the Company will utilize the pension surplus over time without incurring the 50% excise tax. Therefore, the Company reversed the deferred tax liability related to the 50% excise tax amounting to $26.8 million as a deferred income tax benefit in 1999. Income taxes on the pension surplus will be recorded at the statutory rate in future periods.

      During 1998, the Company’s board of directors approved a partial subsidy to fund certain postretirement medical benefits of currently retired participants, and their beneficiaries, in connection with the previous disposition of several subsidiaries. No such benefits are to be provided to active employees. The board reviews the subsidy annually and may further modify or eliminate such subsidy at their discretion. The actuarial present value of this unfunded postretirement benefit obligation approximated $14,735 and $8,600 at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Postretirement benefit expense approximated $1,970, $1,230, and $1,300 for 2001, 2000, and 1999. This actuarially determined obligation was computed based on actual claims experience of this group of retirees and a discount rate of 7.25% and 7.50% for 2001 and 2000 and an ultimate medical trend rate of 10% in 2001 and 5% in 2000. A 1% increase in the medical cost trend would increase this obligation by $1,500 at December 31, 2001.

     (a) Deferred Compensation Plans and ESOP

      The Company also has other defined contribution plans that cover substantially all its salaried employees. Contributions are at the employees’ discretion and are matched by the Company up to certain limits. Expense for these defined contribution plans was $1,777, $1,452, and $893 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

      In February 1999, the Company adopted (retroactive to January 1, 1998), the “St. Joe Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The SERP is a non-qualified retirement plan to permit certain selected management and highly compensated employees to defer receipt of current compensation and to provide certain supplemental retirement and death benefits. The Company has recorded expense in 2001 and 2000 related to the SERP of $1,275 and $969, respectively.

      Beginning in November 1999, the Company also implemented an employee stock purchase plan (“JoeShare”), whereby all employees may purchase the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions at a 15% discount from the fair market value, with an annual limit of $25 in purchases per employee. As of December 31, 2001, 33,170 shares of the Company’s stock had been sold to employees under the JoeShare Plan.

      During 2001, certain executives of the Company were granted long-term incentive contracts. In connection with these contracts, the Company will record a minimum liability of $5,000 million ratably over the vesting period of five years and will also record an additional liability up to an additional $5,000 million based on changes in the Company’s stock price over the vesting period. The amount recorded as a liability as of December 31, 2001 was $419.

     (b) Stock Based Compensation Plans

      Effective January 6, 1997, the Company granted Mr. Rummell, Chairman and CEO of the Company, 201,861 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and in February 1999, the Company granted Mr. Twomey, President, CFO and COO, 100,000 restricted shares. The restricted shares vest over five-year periods, beginning on the date of each grant. The Company carries deferred compensation of approximately $951 for the unamortized portion of these grants as of December 31, 2001. Compensation expense related to these grants totaled approximately $1,306, $1,307, and $1,234 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

      On January 7, 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1997 Incentive Plan”), whereby awards may be granted to certain employees and non-employee directors of the Company in the form

F-19


Table of Contents

of restricted shares of Company stock or options to purchase Company stock. Awards are discretionary and are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The total amount of restricted shares and options available for grant under the Incentive Plan is 6.03 million shares. The options are exercisable in equal installments on the first anniversaries of the date of grant and expire generally 10 years after date of grant.

      On February 24, 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1998 Incentive Plan”) whereby awards may be granted to employees and non-employee directors of the Company in the form of restricted shares of Company stock, options to purchase Company stock or stock appreciation rights (SAR’s). The total amount of restricted shares, options, and stock appreciation rights available for grant under the 1998 Incentive Plan was one million. On May 9, 1999, the Company converted all of its outstanding SAR’s to options. The terms of the options are similar to the terms under the 1997 Incentive Plan.

      On February 22, 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1999 Incentive Plan”) with similar terms to the 1997 Incentive Plan. The total amount of restricted shares or options under the 1999 Plan is 1.5 million shares.

      On August 21, 2001, the Company adopted the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2001 Incentive Plan”), subject to shareholder approval, with similar terms to the 1999 Incentive Plan. The total amount of restricted shares or options under the 2001 Plan is 3.0 million shares.

      Stock option activity during the period indicated is as follows:

      Effective on the date of the FLA spin-off, the number of options was adjusted and all exercise prices were decreased to preserve the economic value of options that existed prior to the spin-off.

      All options have been granted at the Company’s current market price on the date of grant and ranged from $13.14 to $28.29 after adjustment for the effects of the FLA spin-off.

      The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted/ converted during 2001 and 2000 was $12.70 and $8.21 on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: 2001 - 0.3% expected dividend yield, risk-free interest rate of 5.64%, weighted average expected volatility of 24.64% and an expected life of 7.5 years; 2000 - 0.4% expected dividend yield, risk-free interest rate of 5.11%, weighted average expected volatility of 25.50% and an expected life of 7.5 years.

      The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its Incentive Plans and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in the consolidated financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation costs based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under

Table of Contents

      The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company’s consolidated income statements. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company evaluates a segment’s performance based on net EBITDA. Net EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and is net of the effects of minority interests. Net EBITDA is considered a key financial measurement in the industries in which the Company operates. Net EBITDA excludes gains from discontinued operations and gains on sales of non-strategic lands and other assets. The caption entitled “Other” primarily consists of investment income, net of general and administrative expenses and is presented to reconcile to consolidated results.

      The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are each managed separately and decisions about allocations of resources are determined by management based on these strategic business units.

      The Company and its affiliates are involved in litigation on a number of matters and are subject to certain claims which arise in the normal course of business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

      The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability, property damage and group health insurance provided to employees.

      The Company is subject to costs arising out of environmental laws and regulations, which include obligations to remove or limit the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of certain wastes or substances at various sites including sites which have been previously sold. It is the Company’s policy to accrue and charge against earnings environmental cleanup costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable. As assessments and cleanups proceed, these accruals are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, as additional information becomes available.

      The Company is currently a party to, or involved in, legal proceedings directed at the cleanup of Superfund sites. The Company has accrued an allocated share of the total estimated cleanup costs for these sites. Based upon management’s evaluation of the other potentially responsible parties, the Company does not expect to incur additional amounts even though the Company has joint and several liability. Other proceedings involving environmental matters such as alleged discharge of oil or waste material into water or soil are pending against the Company. It is not possible to quantify future environmental costs because many issues relate to actions by third parties or changes in environmental regulation. However, based on information presently available, management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. Environmental liabilities are paid over an extended period and the timing of such payments cannot be predicted with any confidence. Aggregate environmental-related accruals were $4.6 million and $5.3 million as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

16.     Subsequent Event
