FORESTAR GROUP INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

xbrl,n

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

xbrl,body

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Forestar Group Inc., all subsidiaries, ventures and other entities in which we have a controlling interest and variable interest entities of which we are the primary beneficiary. We eliminate all material intercompany accounts and transactions. Noncontrolling interests in consolidated pass-through entities are recognized before income taxes. We account for our investment in other entities in which we have significant influence over operations and financial policies using the equity method (we recognize our share of the entities income or loss and any preferential returns and treat distributions as a reduction of our investment). We account for our investment in other entities in which we do not have significant influence over operations and financial policies using the cost method (we recognize as income distributions of accumulated earnings).

We prepare our unaudited interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for interim financial statements. As a result, they do not include all the information and disclosures required for complete financial statements. However, in our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items unless otherwise noted. We make estimates and assumptions about future events. Actual results can, and probably will, differ from those we currently estimate including those related to allocating cost of sales to real estate, minerals and fiber and measuring assets for impairment. These interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. For further information, please read the financial statements included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In first quarter 2011, we reclassified $198,000 of cost of income producing properties to operating expenses for first quarter 2010 to conform to the current years presentation.

Note 2 New Accounting Pronouncements

xbrl,body

In first quarter 2011, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-28 When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts and ASU 2010-29 Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations . Adoption of these pronouncements did not have a significant effect on our earnings or financial position.

xbrl,n

Note 3 Strategic Initiatives and Assets Held for Sale

xbrl,body

In 2009, we announced our near-term strategic initiatives to enhance shareholder value by generating significant cash flow, principally from the sale of approximately 175,000 acres of higher and better use timberland; reducing debt by approximately $150,000,000; and repurchasing up to 20 percent of our common stock.

Since announcing these initiatives, we have sold approximately 119,000 acres of timber and timberland in Georgia, Alabama and Texas for $197,381,000 generating combined net proceeds of $191,891,000, which were principally used to reduce debt, pay taxes and reinvest in qualifying real estate under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 1031. These transactions resulted in a combined gain on sale of assets of $132,654,000. In addition, in 2010, we repurchased 1,000,987 shares of our common stock at a cost of $15,178,000. The repurchased shares are classified as treasury stock.

At first quarter-end 2011, assets held for sale includes approximately 55,000 acres of undeveloped land with a carrying value of $14,504,000 and related timber with a carrying value of $6,607,000. We continue to actively market this land in accordance with these initiatives.

	$ 569,891	$	562,192

Included in entitled, developed and under development projects are the estimated costs of assets we expect to convey to utility and improvement districts of $60,509,000 at first quarter-end 2011 and $59,079,000 at year-end 2010, including approximately $36,552,000 included in both first quarter-end 2011 and year-end 2010 related to our Cibolo Canyons project near San Antonio, Texas. These costs relate to water, sewer and other infrastructure assets we have submitted to utility or improvement districts for approval and reimbursement. We billed these districts $1,800,000 in first quarter 2011 and $183,000 in first quarter 2010. We collected $36,000 from these districts in first quarter 2011 and $183,000 in first quarter 2010. We expect to collect the remaining amounts billed when these districts achieve adequate tax bases to support payment.

Included in undeveloped land is property in San Antonio, Texas we acquired in first quarter 2011 for $7,900,000. We intend to use this property for environmental conservation and future development entitlements.

(d) Represents deferred gains on real estate contributed by us to ventures. We recognize the gains as real estate is sold to third parties. The deferred gains are reflected as a reduction to our investment in unconsolidated ventures.

In first quarter 2011, we invested $673,000 in these ventures and received $3,044,000 in distributions; in first quarter 2010, we invested $705,000 in these ventures and received $2,733,000 in distributions. Distributions include both return of investments and distributions of earnings.

At first quarter-end 2011, other ventures include three partnerships we participate in that have total assets of $54,411,000 and total liabilities of $84,234,000, which includes $69,744,000 of borrowings classified as current maturities. These partnerships are managed by third parties who intend to extend or refinance these borrowings; however, there is no assurance that this can be done. Although these borrowings may be guaranteed by third parties, we may under certain circumstances elect or be required to provide additional equity to these partnerships. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a significant effect on our earnings or financial position. Our investment in these partnerships is $3,212,000 at first quarter-end 2011. These three partnerships are variable interest entities. Please read Note 16 for additional information.

We have provided performance bonds and letters of credit on behalf of certain ventures totaling $2,791,000 at first quarter-end 2011. Generally these performance bonds and letters of credit would be drawn on due to lack of performance by us or the ventures, such as failure to timely deliver streets and utilities in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

	$ 230,600	$ 221,589

On February 23, 2011, we supplemented our amended and restated senior credit facility to add a new lender to the revolving loan and to the term loan increasing the aggregate commitment by $30,000,000. We incurred fees of approximately $270,000 related to this additional commitment.

At first quarter-end 2011, our senior credit facility provides for a $130,000,000 term loan and a $200,000,000 revolving line of credit. The term loan matures August 6, 2015, and the revolving line of credit matures August 6, 2013 (with a one-year extension option to August 6, 2014). The term loan includes a 2 percent prepayment penalty for payments in excess of $25,000,000 prior to February 6, 2012. The revolving line of credit may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The revolving line of credit includes a $100,000,000 sublimit for letters of credit, of which $3,437,000 is outstanding at first quarter-end 2011. Total borrowings under our senior credit facility (including the face amount of letters of credit) may not exceed a borrowing base formula. At first quarter-end 2011, we had $168,113,000 in net unused borrowing capacity under our senior credit facility.

At our option, we can borrow at LIBOR plus 4.5 percent (subject to a 2 percent LIBOR floor) or prime plus 2.5 percent. Borrowings under the senior credit facility are secured by (a) all timberland and minerals, (b) assignments of current and future leases, rents and contracts, including our mineral leases, (c) a security interest in our primary operating account, (d) pledge of the equity interests in current and future material operating subsidiaries or joint venture interests, or if such pledge is not permitted, a pledge of the right to distributions from such entities, to the extent permitted, and (e) negative pledge (without a mortgage) on all other wholly-owned assets. The senior credit facility provides for releases of real estate to be conveyed provided that borrowing base compliance is maintained.

At first quarter-end 2011, we have $7,182,000 in unamortized deferred fees which are included in other assets. Amortization of deferred financing fees was $604,000 in first quarter 2011 and $1,437,000 in first quarter 2010 and is included in interest expense.

Note 9 Fair Value

xbrl,body

Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis principally include real estate assets and assets held for sale, which are measured for impairment. In first quarter 2011 and 2010, no significant non-financial assets were remeasured at fair value.

We elected not to use the fair value option for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, variable debt, accounts payable and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature or variable interest rates. We determine the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments using quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets.

Note 10 Capital Stock

xbrl,body

Pursuant to our shareholder rights plan, each share of common stock outstanding is coupled with one-quarter of a preferred stock purchase right (Right). Each Right entitles our shareholders to purchase, under certain conditions, one one-hundredth of a share of newly issued Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $100. Rights will be exercisable only if someone acquires beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of our common shares or commences a tender or exchange offer, upon consummation of which they would beneficially own 20 percent or more of our common shares. We will generally be entitled to redeem the Rights at $0.001 per Right at any time until the 10th business day following public announcement that a 20 percent position has been acquired. The Rights will expire on December 11, 2017.

Please read Note 17 for information about additional shares of common stock that could be issued under terms of our share-based compensation plans.

As a result of the 2007 spin-offs from Temple-Inland, at first quarter-end 2011, personnel of Temple-Inland and the other spin-off entity held 19,000 awards that will be settled in shares of our common stock and options to purchase 1,205,000 shares of our common stock.

Note 13 Income Taxes

xbrl,body

In first quarter 2011, our effective tax rate was a benefit of 29 percent, which includes a 13 percent non-cash charge for share-based compensation. In first quarter 2010, our effective tax rate was a benefit of 33 percent.

Our 2011 rate includes benefits for percentage depletion, charitable contributions associated with donated conservation easements and noncontrolling interests, and our 2010 rate includes benefits for percentage depletion. In addition, both the 2011 and 2010 rates include the effect of state income taxes and nondeductible items.

We have not provided a valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset because we believe it is likely it will be recoverable in future periods.

At first quarter-end 2011, our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $7,670,000, of which $6,295,000 would affect our effective tax rate if recognized.

Litigation

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

Environmental

Environmental remediation liabilities arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business, and we believe we have established adequate reserves for any probable losses. We own 288 acres near Antioch, California, portions of which were sites of a former Temple-Inland paper manufacturing operation that are in remediation. We estimate the cost to complete remediation activities will be approximately $2,400,000, which is included in other accrued expenses and will likely be paid in 2011 or 2012. Our estimate requires us to make assumptions regarding the scope of required remediation, the effectiveness of planned remediation activities, and approvals by regulatory authorities. Our estimate is subject to revision as new information becomes available.

Note 15 Segment Information

xbrl,body

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

Segment earnings (loss) consist of operating income, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated ventures and net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Unallocated items consist of general and administrative expense, share-based compensation, gain on sale of assets, interest expense and other non-operating income and expense. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the accounting policy note to the consolidated financial statements. Our revenues are derived from our U.S. operations and all of our assets are located in the U.S. In first quarter 2011, no single customer accounted for more than 10 percent of our total revenues.

Note 16 Variable Interest Entities

xbrl,body

We participate in real estate ventures for the purpose of acquiring and developing residential and mixed-use communities in which we may or may not have a controlling financial interest. Generally accepted accounting principles require consolidation of variable interest entities (VIE) in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb the VIE losses and right to receive benefits that are significant to the VIE. We examine specific criteria and use judgment when determining whether we are the primary beneficiary and must consolidate a VIE. We perform this review initially at the time we enter into venture agreements and subsequently when reconsideration events occur.

At first quarter-end 2011, we are the primary beneficiary of two VIEs that we consolidate. We have provided the majority of equity to these VIEs, which absent our contributions or advances do not have sufficient equity to fund their operations. We have the authority to approve project budgets and the issuance of additional debt. At first quarter-end 2011, our consolidated balance sheet includes $14,579,000 in assets, principally real estate, and $5,002,000 in liabilities related to these two VIEs. In first quarter 2011, we contributed or advanced $2,157,000 to

Folio 12 /Folio

PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

xbrl

these VIEs. In first quarter 2010, real estate assets decreased by $11,865,000, debt decreased by $13,207,000 and other liabilities increased by $1,342,000 due to lender foreclosure of a lien on property owned by one of these VIEs. We have a nominal general partner interest in this VIE and could be held responsible for its liabilities.

Also at first quarter-end 2011, we are not the primary beneficiary of three VIEs that we account for using the equity method. The unrelated managing partners oversee the day-to-day operations and guarantee some of the debt of the VIEs while we have the authority to approve project budgets and the issuance of additional debt. Although some of the debt is guaranteed by the managing partners, we may under certain circumstances elect or be required to provide additional funds to these VIEs. At first quarter-end 2011, these three VIEs have total assets of $54,411,000, substantially all of which represent developed and undeveloped real estate and total liabilities of $84,234,000, which includes $69,744,000 of borrowings classified as current maturities. These amounts are included in other ventures in the combined summarized balance sheet information for ventures accounted for using the equity method in Note 7. At first quarter-end 2011, our investment in these three VIEs is $3,212,000 and is included in investment in unconsolidated ventures. In first quarter 2011, we contributed or advanced $77,000 to these VIEs. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs is estimated at $36,640,000, which exceeds our investment as we have a nominal general partner interest in two of these VIEs and could be held responsible for their liabilities. The maximum exposure to loss represents the maximum loss that we could be required to recognize assuming all the ventures assets (principally real estate) are worthless, without consideration of the probability of a loss or of any actions we may take to mitigate any such loss.

Other operating expense	2,045	2,496
	$ 4,100	$ 3,534

In first quarter 2011, the increase in general and administrative expense is primarily due to the impact of stock price changes on vested cash-settled awards.

The fair value of awards granted to retirement eligible employees and expensed at the date of grant was $654,000 in first quarter 2011 and $286,000 in first quarter 2010. Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested equity-settled awards, restricted stock and stock options is $10,855,000 at first quarter-end 2011. The weighted average period over which this amount will be recognized is estimated to be 2 years. We did not capitalize any share-based compensation in first quarter 2011 or 2010.

In first quarter 2011, we withheld 63,000 shares having a value of $1,190,000 in connection with vesting of restricted stock awards and exercises of stock options. These shares are included in treasury stock and are reflected in financing activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

A summary of the awards granted under our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan follows:

Cash-settled awards

Cash-settled awards granted to our employees in the form of restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights generally vest over three to four years from the date of grant and generally provide for accelerated vesting upon death, disability or if there is a change in control. Vesting for some restricted stock unit awards is also conditioned upon achievement of a minimum one percent annualized return on assets over a three-year period. Cash-settled stock appreciation rights have a ten-year term, generally become exercisable ratably over three to four years and provide for accelerated or continued vesting upon retirement, death, disability or if there is a change in control. Stock appreciation rights were granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of our stock on the date of grant.

The fair value of awards settled in cash was $184,000 in first quarter 2011 and $602,000 in first quarter 2010. At first quarter-end 2011, the fair value of vested cash-settled awards is $15,626,000 and is included in other liabilities. The aggregate current value of non-vested cash-settled awards is $12,392,000 at first quarter-end 2011 based on a quarter-end stock price of $19.02.

Equity-settled awards

Equity-settled awards granted to our employees include restricted stock units (RSU), which vest ratably over three years from the date of grant, and beginning first quarter 2011, market-leveraged stock units (MSU), which vest after three years. The following table summarizes the activity of equity-settled RSU and MSU awards in first quarter 2011:

Equivalent		Weighted — Average Grant
Units		Date Fair Value
(In thousands)		(Per share)
Non-vested at beginning of period		$
Granted	160	20.73
Vested
Forfeited
Non-vested at end of period	160	$ 20.73

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

Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested equity-settled awards is $3,007,000 at first quarter-end 2011. The weighted average period over which this amount will be recognized is estimated to be 3 years.

Restricted stock

Restricted stock awards vest either ratably over or after three years, generally if we achieve a minimum one percent annualized return on assets over such three-year period. The following table summarizes the activity of restricted stock awards in first quarter 2011:

Restricted		Average Grant
Shares		Date Fair Value
(In thousands)		(Per share)
Non-vested at beginning of period	636	$	17.56
Granted
Vested	(195	)	24.75

Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards is $3,807,000 at first quarter-end 2011. The weighted average period over which this amount will be recognized is estimated to be 2 years.

Stock options

Stock options have a ten-year term, generally become exercisable ratably over three to four years and provide for accelerated or continued vesting upon retirement, death, disability or if there is a change in control. Options were granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of our stock on the date of grant. The following table summarizes the activity of stock option awards in first quarter 2011:

			Weighted — Average	Aggregate — Intrinsic Value
		Weighted	Remaining	(Current
Options		Average	Contractual	Value Less
Outstanding		Exercise Price	Term	Exercise Price)
(In thousands)		(Per share)	(In years)	(In thousands)

Forfeited
Balance at end of period	1,284	$ 22.22	8	$ 1,935
Exercisable at end of period	642	$ 25.61	7	$ 842

We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:

	First Quarter — 2011	2010
Expected dividend yield	0.0 %	0.0 %
Expected stock price volatility	56.2 %	51.0 %
Risk-free interest rate	2.4 %	2.3 %
Expected life of options (years)	6	6
Weighted average estimated fair
value of options granted	$ 10.11	$ 8.98

We have limited historical experience as a stand-alone company so we utilized alternative methods in determining our valuation assumptions. The expected life was based on the simplified method utilizing the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual life of the awards. In first quarter 2011, the expected stock price volatility was based on a blended rate utilizing our historical volatility and historical prices of our peers common stock for a period corresponding to the expected life of the options. In first quarter 2010, the expected stock price volatility was based on historical prices of our peers common stock for a period corresponding to the expected life of the options. Pre-vesting forfeitures are estimated based upon the pool of participants and their expected activity and historical trends.

Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options is $4,041,000 at first quarter-end 2011. The weighted average period over which this amount will be recognized is estimated to be 3 years.

Pre-Spin Awards

Certain of our employees participated in Temple-Inlands share-based compensation plans. In conjunction with the 2007 spin-off, these awards were equitably adjusted into separate awards of the common stock of Temple-Inland and the spin-off entities.

Stock options have a ten-year term, generally become exercisable ratably over four years and provide for accelerated or continued vesting upon retirement, death, disability or if there is a change in control. A summary of stock option awards outstanding at first quarter-end 2011 follows:

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless otherwise indicated, information is presented as of first quarter-end 2011, and references to acreage owned includes all acres owned by ventures regardless of our ownership interest in a venture.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other materials we have filed or may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as believe, anticipate, could, estimate, likely, intend, may, plan, expect, and similar expressions, including references to assumptions. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to risk and uncertainties. We note that a variety of factors and uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors and uncertainties that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

	general economic, market or business conditions in Texas or Georgia, where our real estate activities are concentrated;
	the opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to us and that we may pursue;
	significant customer concentration;
	future residential or commercial entitlements, development approvals and the ability to obtain such approvals;
	accuracy of estimates and other assumptions related to investment in real estate,
the expected timing and pricing of land and lot sales and related cost of real estate sales,
impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes, share-based compensation and oil and natural gas
reserves;
	the levels of resale housing inventory and potential impact of foreclosures in our
development projects and the regions in which they are located;
	the development of relationships with strategic partners;
	fluctuations in costs and expenses;
	demand for new housing, which can be affected by a number of factors including the availability of mortgage credit;

	the results of financing efforts, including our ability to obtain financing with favorable terms;
	our partners ability to fund their capital commitments and otherwise fulfill their operating and financial obligations;
	water withdrawal or usage may be subject to state and local laws, regulations or
permit requirements, and there is no assurance that all our water interests or rights will be
available for withdrawal or use; and
	the final resolutions or outcomes with respect to our contingent and other liabilities related to our business.

Other factors, including the risk factors described in Item 1A of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by our forward-looking statements. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors, nor can we assess the impact of any such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, except as required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Strategy

Our strategy is:

	Recognizing and responsibly delivering the greatest value from every acre; and
	Growing through strategic and disciplined investments.

In 2009, we announced our near-term strategic initiatives to enhance shareholder value by generating significant cash flow, principally from the sale of approximately 175,000 acres of higher and better use (HBU) timberland; reducing debt by approximately $150,000,000; and repurchasing up to 20 percent of our common stock.

At first quarter-end 2011, assets held for sale under these strategic initiatives includes approximately 55,000 acres of undeveloped land with a carrying value of $14,504,000 and related timber with a carrying value of $6,607,000. We continue to actively market this land and, although we occasionally have received offers and entered into negotiations concerning this land, we can give no assurance as to when we may be able to reach an agreement that we believe is commercially acceptable.

Significant aspects of our results of operations follow:

First Quarter 2011

| | Real estate segment earnings increased principally due to higher undeveloped land sales
volume and price from our retail sales program and improved sales activity within our single-family
residential and mixed-use communities. |
| --- | --- |
| | Mineral resources segment earnings declined principally due to increased costs
associated with developing our water resources initiatives. |
| | Fiber resources segment earnings decreased principally due to reduced harvest
activity resulting from the sale of approximately 30,000 acres of timberland in 2010. |
| | Share-based compensation increased principally as a result of awards granted in first
quarter 2011 and accelerated expense recognition in conjunction with awards granted to retirement
eligible employees. |

First Quarter 2010

| | Real estate segment earnings were impacted by lower undeveloped land sales as a result of
deteriorating market conditions primarily due to limited capital and alternate investment options
to buyers in the marketplace. |
| --- | --- |
| | Mineral resources segment earnings included higher lease bonus revenues related to leasing
activity in the East Texas Basin which resulted in increased lease bonus revenue per acre. |
| | Fiber resources segment earnings were negatively impacted by a reduction in volume as a
result of selling over 110,000 acres of timberland in 2009 and wet weather conditions. |

Current Market Conditions

Current U.S. market conditions in the single-family residential industry continue to be difficult, characterized by product oversupply, depressed sales volumes and prices, difficult financing environment for purchasers, high unemployment rates and low consumer confidence. While all markets are being negatively affected by overall poor economic conditions, not all geographic areas and products have been affected to the same extent or with equal severity. These difficult market conditions may continue throughout 2011.

Oil prices have increased due to unrest in the Middle East and North Africa as fears of supply disruptions continue and expectations that global economic growth will tighten supplies. Natural gas prices have remained soft as shale resource drilling and production remains strong and working gas inventories are expected to remain relatively high. In our area of operations in the East Texas Basin, exploration and

Table of Contents

production companies remain focused on reducing capital expenditures and drilling strategically in order to extend and hold leases. These conditions may impact the demand for new mineral leases, new exploration activity and the amount of royalty revenues we receive.

Pulpwood demand is relatively stable in our markets. Sawtimber prices remain depressed due to decreased demand for lumber as a result of lower new home construction activity.

Business Segments

We manage our operations through three business segments:

	Real estate,
	Mineral resources, and
	Fiber resources.

We evaluate performance based on earnings (loss) before unallocated items and income taxes. Segment earnings (loss) consist of operating income, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated ventures and net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Unallocated items consist of general and administrative expenses, share-based compensation, gain on sale of assets, interest expense and other non-operating income and expense. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the accounting policy note to the consolidated financial statements.

We operate in cyclical industries. Our operations are affected to varying degrees by supply and demand factors and economic conditions including changes in interest rates, availability of mortgage credit, consumer and home builder sentiment, new housing starts, real estate values, employment levels, changes in the market prices for oil, natural gas, and timber, and the overall strength or weakness of the U.S. economy.

Real Estate

We own directly or through ventures approximately 219,000 acres of real estate located in nine states and 12 markets. Our real estate segment secures entitlements and develops infrastructure on our lands, primarily for single-family residential and mixed-use communities. We own approximately 165,000 acres in a broad area around Atlanta, Georgia, with the balance located primarily in Texas. We target investments principally in our strategic growth corridors, regions across the southern half of the United States that possess key demographic and growth characteristics that we believe make them attractive for long-term real estate investment. We own and manage our projects either directly or through ventures. Our real estate segment revenues are principally derived from the sales of residential single-family lots, undeveloped land and commercial real estate and to a lesser degree from the operation of income producing properties, primarily a hotel and a multifamily property.

A summary of our real estate results follows:

In first quarter 2011, operating expenses principally consist of $2,184,000 in property taxes, $1,941,000 in employee compensation and benefits, $1,281,000 in depreciation and amortization expenses and $966,000 in professional services. In first quarter 2010, operating expenses principally consist of $2,287,000 in property taxes, $1,696,000 in employee compensation and benefits, $913,000 in depreciation and amortization expenses and $541,000 in professional services. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily as a result of depreciating building, improvements and furniture, fixture and equipment and amortizing identifiable intangible assets related to the acquisition of a 401 unit, Class A multifamily property in fourth quarter 2010.

Residential real estate revenues principally consist of the sale of single-family lots to national, regional and local home builders. In first quarter 2011, residential real estate revenues increased principally as a result of increased lot sales volume in our single-family residential and mixed-use communities.

In first quarter 2011, undeveloped land sales increased due to higher volume and increased prices generated from our retail land sales program including the sale of over 1,475 acres of undeveloped land in East Texas for approximately $2,100 per acre.

In first quarter 2011, revenue from income producing properties principally includes $5,230,000 from a 413 room hotel in Austin, Texas and $1,301,000 from a 401 unit multifamily property in Houston, Texas.

We underwrite development projects based on a variety of assumptions incorporated into our development plans, including the timing and pricing of lot sales and commercial parcels, and costs to complete development. Our development plans are periodically reviewed in comparison to our return projections and expectations, and we may revise our plans as business conditions warrant. If as a result of changes to our development plans the anticipated future net cash flows are reduced such that our basis in a project is not fully recoverable, we may be required to recognize a non-cash impairment charge for such project.

Mineral Resources

We own directly or through ventures approximately 604,000 net acres of mineral interests. Our mineral resources segment revenues are principally derived from royalties and other revenues from our oil and natural gas mineral interests located principally in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama. At first quarter-end 2011, we have approximately 92,000 net acres under lease and approximately 30,000 net acres held by production from 496 oil and natural gas wells operated by exploration and production companies.

A summary of our mineral resources results follows:

	First Quarter — 2011	2010
	(In thousands)
Revenues	$ 7,333	$	7,127
Cost of sales	(794	)	(322	)
Operating expenses	(1,429	)	(730	)
	5,110		6,075
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated ventures	488		103
Segment earnings	$ 5,598	$	6,178

Cost of sales represents our share of oil and natural gas production severance taxes, which are calculated based on a percentage of oil and natural gas produced, costs related to our non-operating working interests and delay rental payments related to ground water leases in central Texas.

In first quarter 2011, operating expenses principally consist of $644,000 in professional and consulting services, $453,000 in employee compensation and benefits and $76,000 in property taxes. In first quarter 2010, operating expenses principally consist of $121,000 in professional and consulting services, $269,000 in employee compensation and benefits and $73,000 in property taxes. Professional and consulting services increased primarily due to non-cash amortization of contingent consulting consideration paid to the seller of a water resources company acquired in fourth quarter 2010. These costs are being amortized ratably over the performance period assuming certain milestones are accomplished by July 2014.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated ventures includes our share of royalty revenue from producing wells in the Barnett Shale natural gas formation.

Revenues consist of:

	First Quarter — 2011	2010
	(In thousands)
Royalties	$ 3,805	$ 3,504
Other revenues	3,528	3,623
Total revenues	$ 7,333	$ 7,127

In first quarter 2011, royalty revenues increased as a result of higher oil prices and increased oil production partially offset by decreases in natural gas prices and production in owned and consolidated properties. Changes in prices contributed $171,000 while production increases contributed $130,000. The production increase primarily relates to higher levels of condensate and natural gas liquids produced from new wells.

In first quarter 2011, other revenues include $1,677,000 in lease bonus payments as a result of leasing approximately 4,900 net mineral acres for an average of $343 per acre, $1,555,000 related to mineral seismic exploration associated with 31,100 acres in Louisiana and $156,000 related to delay rental payments. In first quarter 2010, other revenues include $3,185,000 in lease bonus payments as a result of leasing over 2,100 net mineral acres for an average of $1,495 per acre in the East Texas Basin and $432,000 related to delay rental payments.

Natural gas production (millions of cubic feet)	466.8	346.5
Average price per thousand cubic feet	$ 3.72	$ 4.34

At first quarter-end 2011, there were 496 active wells owned and operated by others on our leased mineral acres compared to 474 wells at first quarter-end 2010.

Our share of ventures natural gas production increased as a result of 16 wells that began producing from the Barnett Shale natural gas formation in 2010.

In addition, we have water interests in approximately 1,600,000 acres, including a 45 percent nonparticipating royalty interest in groundwater produced or withdrawn for commercial purposes or sold from approximately 1,400,000 acres in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama and approximately 17,800 acres of ground water leases in central Texas. We have not received significant income from these interests.

Fiber Resources

Our fiber resources segment focuses principally on the management of our timber holdings and recreational leases. We have approximately 196,000 acres of timber, primarily in Georgia, and approximately 18,000 acres of timber under lease. Our fiber resources segment revenues are principally derived from the sales of wood fiber from our land and leases for recreational uses. We sold over 140,000 acres of undeveloped land in 2010 and 2009 through our retail land sales program and our strategic initiatives. In addition, we are delaying harvest plans and actively marketing approximately 55,000 acres classified as held for sale. As a result of the reduced acreage from executing these land sales, future segment revenues and earnings are anticipated to be lower.

A summary of our fiber resources results follows:

	First Quarter — 2011	2010
	(In thousands)
Revenues	$ 1,368	$	1,983
Cost of sales	(247	)	(351	)

	635		946
Other operating income			497
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated ventures	5
Segment earnings	$ 640	$	1,443

In first quarter 2011, operating expenses principally consist of $237,000 in employee compensation and benefits and $119,000 in facility and long-term timber lease costs. In first quarter 2010, operating expenses principally consist of $453,000 in employee compensation and benefits, of which $197,000 related to employee severance costs, and $73,000 in facility and long-term timber lease costs.

In first quarter 2010, other operating income represents a gain from partial termination of a timber lease.

Items Not Allocated to Segments

Unallocated items represent income and expenses managed on a company-wide basis and include general and administrative expenses, share-based compensation, gain on sale of assets, interest expense and other non-operating income and expense.

General and administrative expenses principally consist of accounting and finance, tax, legal, human resources, internal audit, information technology and our board of directors. These functions support all of our business segments and are not allocated.

In first quarter 2011, general and administrative expense principally consists of $1,454,000 in employee compensation and benefits, $739,000 in professional services, $351,000 in depreciation expense, $244,000 related to insurance cost and $211,000 in occupancy. In first quarter 2010, general and administrative expense principally consists of $1,388,000 in employee compensation and benefits, $762,000 in professional services, $370,000 in depreciation expense, $316,000 related to insurance cost and $297,000 in occupancy.

Income Taxes

We have not provided a valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset because we believe it is likely it will be recoverable in future periods.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Sources and Uses of Cash

We operate in cyclical industries and our cash flows fluctuate accordingly. Our principal operating cash requirements are for the acquisition and development of real estate, either directly or indirectly through ventures, taxes, interest and compensation. Our principal sources of cash are proceeds from the sale of real estate and timber, the cash flow from minerals and income producing properties, borrowings, and

Folio 23 /Folio

PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

reimbursements from utility and improvement districts. Operating cash flows are affected by the timing of the payment of real estate development expenditures and the collection of proceeds from the eventual sale of the real estate, the timing of which can vary substantially depending on many factors including the size of the project, state and local permitting requirements and availability of utilities, and by the timing of oil and natural gas leasing and production activities. Working capital is subject to operating needs, the timing of sales of real estate and timber, the timing of collection of mineral royalties or mineral lease payments, collection of receivables, reimbursement from utility and improvement districts and the payment of payables and expenses.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from our real estate development activities, undeveloped land sales, income producing properties, timber sales, mineral and recreational leases and reimbursements from utility and improvement districts are classified as operating cash flows.

In first quarter 2011, net cash (used for) operating activities was ($6,406,000) as expenditures for real estate development and acquisitions exceeded non-cash real estate cost of sales principally due to our investment of $7,900,000 in undeveloped land in San Antonio, Texas and our payment of $3,446,000 in federal and state taxes net of refunds. In first quarter 2010, net cash (used for) operating activities was ($19,836,000) principally consisting of funding a $10,000,000 loan to a third party equity investor in the JW Marriott ® San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa, state taxes of $5,048,000 and property taxes of $3,669,000.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Capital contributions to and capital distributions from unconsolidated ventures and business acquisitions are classified as investing activities. In addition, proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, software costs and expenditures related to reforestation activities are also classified as investing activities.

In first quarter 2011, net cash (used for) investing activities was ($1,171,000) and is principally related to contributions to unconsolidated ventures and investment in property, equipment, software and reforestation. In first quarter 2010, net cash provided by investing activities was $4,205,000. We received $2,602,000 in proceeds related to the sale of our undivided interest in corporate aircraft and received $1,929,000 in net distributions from our unconsolidated ventures.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

In first quarter 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $7,819,000. The increase in our debt of $9,011,000 was principally used to fund our expenditures for real estate development and acquisitions. In first quarter 2010, net cash provided by financing activities was $1,170,000 as our repayments of debt principally offset our additions to debt.

Liquidity, Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no significant changes in our liquidity, contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements since year-end 2010, except that on February 23, 2011, we supplemented our amended and restated senior credit facility to add a new lender to the revolving loan and to the term loan increasing the aggregate commitment by $30,000,000. We incurred fees of approximately $270,000 related to this additional commitment.

At first quarter-end 2011, our senior credit facility provides for a $130,000,000 term loan and a $200,000,000 revolving line of credit. The term loan matures August 6, 2015, and the revolving line of credit matures August 6, 2013 (with a one-year extension option to August 6, 2014). The term loan includes a 2 percent prepayment penalty for payments in excess of $25,000,000 prior to February 6, 2012. The revolving line of credit may be prepaid at any time without penalty. At first quarter-end 2011, we had $168,113,000 in net unused borrowing capacity under our senior credit facility. Our unused borrowing capacity during first quarter 2011 ranged from a high of $171,993,000 to a low of $154,993,000. This facility is used primarily to fund our operating cash needs, which fluctuate due to timing of residential real estate sales, undeveloped land sales, mineral lease bonus payments, timber sales, payment of payables and expenses and capital expenditures.

Our senior credit facility and other debt agreements contain financial covenants customary for such agreements including minimum levels of interest coverage and limitations on leverage. At first quarter-end 2011, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of these agreements. Based on our current operating projections, we believe that we will remain in compliance with our senior credit facility financial covenants in the future.

The following table details our compliance with the financial covenants calculated as provided in the senior credit facility:

		First
		Quarter-End
Financial Covenant	Requirement	2011
Interest Coverage Ratio (a)	≥ 1.05:1.0	4.14:1.0
Revenues/Capital Expenditures Ratio (b)	≥ 1.00:1.0	4.14:1.0
Total Leverage Ratio (c)	≤ 40 %	21.4 %
Net Worth (d)	> $411 million	$502 million
Collateral Value to Loan Commitment Ratio (e)	≥ 1.60:1.0	2.04:1.0

| (a) | Calculated as EBITDA (earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization), plus non-cash compensation
expense, plus other non-cash expenses,
divided by interest expense excluding loan
fees. This covenant is applied at the end of
each quarter on a rolling four quarter
basis. |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | Calculated as total gross revenues, plus our
pro rata share of the operating revenues
from unconsolidated ventures, divided by
capital expenditures. Capital expenditures
are defined as consolidated development and
acquisition expenditures plus our pro rata
share of unconsolidated ventures
development and acquisition expenditures.
This covenant is applied at the end of each
quarter on a rolling four quarter basis. |
| (c) | Calculated as total funded debt divided by
adjusted asset value. Total funded debt
includes indebtedness for borrowed funds,
secured liabilities and reimbursement
obligations with respect to letters of
credit or similar instruments. Adjusted
asset value is defined as the sum of
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents,
timberlands, high value timberlands, raw
entitled lands, entitled land under
development, minerals business, other real
estate owned at book value without regard to
any indebtedness and our pro rata share of
joint ventures book value without regard to
any indebtedness. This covenant is applied
at the end of each quarter. |
| (d) | Calculated as the amount by which
consolidated total assets exceeds
consolidated total liabilities. At first
quarter-end 2011, the requirement is
$411,000,000, computed as: $411,000,000,
plus 85 percent of the aggregate net
proceeds received by us from any equity
offering, plus 75 percent of all positive
net income, on a cumulative basis. This
covenant is applied at the end of each
quarter. |
| (e) | Calculated as the total collateral value of
timberland, high value timberland and our
minerals business, divided by total
aggregate loan commitment. This covenant is
applied at the end of each quarter. |

To make additional investments, acquisitions, or distributions, we must maintain available liquidity equal to the lesser of $35,000,000 or 10% of the aggregate commitments in place. At first quarter-end 2011, this requirement was $33,000,000 resulting in approximately $171,946,000 in available liquidity, which represents our unused borrowing capacity under our senior credit facility plus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. The failure to maintain such minimum liquidity does not constitute a default or event of default of our senior credit facility.

At first quarter-end 2011, we participate in three partnerships that have total assets of $54,411,000 and total liabilities of $84,234,000, which includes $69,744,000 of borrowings classified as current maturities. These partnerships are managed by third parties who intend to extend or refinance these borrowings; however, there is no assurance that this can be done. Although these borrowings are guaranteed by third parties, we may under certain circumstances elect or be required to provide additional equity to these partnerships. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a significant effect on our earnings or financial position. Our investment in these partnerships is $3,212,000 at first quarter-end 2011. These three partnerships are variable interest entities.

Consolidated venture debt of $34,599,000, which is non-recourse to us, is scheduled to mature in second quarter 2011. We believe it is likely that the venture will be able to extend or refinance these borrowings; however, there is no assurance that this can be done. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of the matter will have a significant effect on our earnings or financial position.

Cibolo Canyons San Antonio, Texas

Cibolo Canyons consists of the JW Marriott ® San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa development owned by third parties and a mixed-use development we own. We have approximately $88,601,000 invested in Cibolo Canyons at first quarter-end 2011.

Resort Hotel, Spa and Golf Development

In 2007, we entered into agreements to facilitate third party construction and ownership of the JW Marriott ® San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa, which includes a 1,002 room destination resort and two PGA Tour ® Tournament Players Club ® (TPC) golf courses. Under these agreements, we agreed to transfer to third party owners approximately 700 acres of undeveloped land, to provide approximately $30,000,000 cash and to provide approximately $12,700,000 of other consideration principally consisting of golf course construction materials, substantially all of which has been provided.

In exchange for our commitment to the resort, the third party owners assigned to us certain rights under an agreement between the third party owners and a legislatively created Special Purpose Improvement District (SPID). This agreement includes the right to receive from the

Folio 25 /Folio

PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

SPID 9 percent of hotel occupancy revenues and 1.5 percent of other resort sales revenues collected as taxes by the SPID through 2034. The amount we receive will be net of annual ad valorem tax reimbursements by the SPID to the third party owners of the resort through 2020. In addition, these payments will be net of debt service, if any, on bonds issued by the SPID collateralized by hotel occupancy tax and other resort sales tax through 2034.

The amounts we collect under this agreement are dependent on several factors including the amount of revenues generated by and ad valorem taxes imposed on the resort and the amount of any applicable debt service incurred by the SPID. As a result, there is significant uncertainty as to the amount and timing of collections under this agreement. Until these uncertainties are clarified, amounts collected under the agreement will be accounted for as a reduction of our investment in the resort development. The resort began operations on January 22, 2010.

In fourth quarter 2010, we received approximately $1,000,000 from the SPID related to our share of hotel occupancy revenues and other resort sales revenues collected as taxes by the SPID in 2010. We accounted for this as a reduction of our investment. At first quarter-end 2011, we have $42,002,000 invested in the resort development.

Mixed-Use Development

The mixed-use development we own consists of 2,100 acres planned to include approximately 1,420 residential lots and 220 commercial acres designated for multifamily and retail uses, of which 666 lots and 64 commercial acres have been sold through first quarter-end 2011.

In 2007, we entered into an agreement with the SPID providing for reimbursement of certain infrastructure costs related to the mixed-use development. Reimbursements are subject to review and approval by the SPID and unreimbursed amounts accrue interest at 9.75 percent. The SPIDs funding for reimbursements is principally derived from its ad valorem tax collections and bond proceeds collateralized by ad valorem taxes, less debt service on these bonds and annual administrative and public service expenses. Through first quarter-end 2011, we have submitted and received approval for reimbursement of approximately $57,322,000 of infrastructure costs and have received reimbursements totaling $20,770,000. At first quarter-end 2011, we have $36,552,000 in approved and pending reimbursements, excluding interest.

Since the amount of each reimbursement is dependent on several factors, including timing of SPID approval and the SPID having an adequate tax base to generate funds that can be used to reimburse us, there is uncertainty as to the amount and timing of reimbursements under this agreement. We expect to recover our investment from lot and tract sales and reimbursement of approved infrastructure costs from the SPID. We have not recognized income from interest due, but not collected. As these uncertainties are clarified, we will modify our accounting accordingly.

At first quarter-end 2011, we have $46,599,000 invested in the mixed-use development.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our interest rate risk is principally related to our variable-rate debt. Interest rate changes impact earnings due to the resulting increase or decrease in the cost of our variable-rate debt, which is $200,669,000 at first quarter-end 2011 and $191,658,000 at year-end 2010.

The following table illustrates the estimated effect on our pre-tax income of immediate, parallel, and sustained shifts in interest rates for the next 12 months on our variable-rate debt at first quarter-end 2011, with comparative year-end 2010 information. This estimate assumes that debt reductions from contractual payments will be replaced with short-term, variable-rate debt; however, that may not be the financing alternative we choose.

	First — Quarter-End		Year-End
Change in Interest Rates	2011		2010
	(In thousands)
+2%	$ (3,922	)	$ (3,728	)
+1%	(2,007	)	(1,917	)
-1%	2,007		1,917
-2%	4,013		3,833

Foreign Currency Risk

We have no exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.

Commodity Price Risk

We have no significant exposure to commodity price fluctuations.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

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