ST. JOE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Dollars in thousands ) 1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. The 1995 statements have been restated to reflect the reclassification of the Communications segment and linerboard mill and container plants as discontinued operations. 2. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. 3. On April 11, 1996, St. Joe Industries, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, sold the stock of St. Joe Communications, Inc. (SJCI) to TPG Communications, Inc. as previously discussed. SJCI also sold its interest in four cellular partnerships. These sales represent the Company's entire Communication segment.On May 30, 1996, the Company sold its linerboard mill and container plants. The Company retains its timberlands and will continue to operate in this segment. Operating revenues for the three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 for the Communications segment were $0 and $8,400, respectively and for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $8,435 and $24,259 respectively and net sales for the linerboard mill and container plants for the three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $0 and $127,958, respectively and for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $153,406 and $430,062, respectively. These amounts are not included in net sales and operating revenues in the accompanying statement of income and retained earnings. The gain on the sale of these operations was $90.4 million after income taxes of $61.6 million. The gain is subject to final postclosing working capital adjustments. Net operating results of the Communications segment and for the linerboard mill and container plants for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are shown separately as earnings from discontinued operations in the accompanying statement of income and retained earnings. Net assets to be disposed of have been separately classified in the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 1995. At September 30, there were no specific assets or liabilities classified as discontinued operations. 4. As a result of the sale of the Communications segment and the linerboard mill and container plants and the attendant reduction in employees covered by the Company's pension plans, an estimated gain from curtailment of the pension plans of $1,200, net of tax, was recorded as part of the gain on sale of discontinued operations. In addition, the Company's pension plans remain in an overfunded position and, with the reduction in employees resulting from the sales, it is unlikely that the overfunding will be realized other than by a plan termination and reversion of excess assets. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the 50% excise tax applicable to plan terminations as additional deferred taxes which amounted to approximately $11,000. The Company has no immediate plans to terminate the pension plans and is in the process of evaluating other alternatives.
5. Inventories at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995: <TABLE> <CAPTION> September 30 December 31 1996 1995 ------------ ----------- </CAPTION> <S> <C> <C> Materials and supplies $ 14,148 $ 12,875 Sugar 2,985 7,717 $ 17,133 $ 20,592 6. Accrued liabilities at September 30, 1996 consisted of real estate and personal property taxes of $16,879, accrued casualty and other reserves of $18,125 and other accrued liabilities of $8,298. 7. The Company and its subsidiaries 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 or results of operations. 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. 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 four Superfund sites. The Company has accrued its allocated share of the total estimated cleanup costs for these four 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 financial position, liquidity, or results of operation of the Company. As of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the aggregate environmental related accruals were $6.2 million. Environmental liabilities are paid over an extended period and the timing of such payments cannot be predicted with any confidence.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW During the second quarter, the Company sold its Communication segment and its linerboard mill and container plants. Sale of the Communications segment occurred on April 11, 1996 and the linerboard mill and container plants on May 30, 1996. Operating revenues for the three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 for the Communications segment were $0 and $8,400, respectively and for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $8,435 and $24,259 respectively. Net sales for the linerboard mill and container plants for the three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $0 and $127,958 respectively and for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $153,406 and $430,062, respectively. These amounts are not included in net sales and operating revenues in the accompanying statement of income and retained earnings. The gain on the sale of these operations was $90.4 million after income taxes of $61.6 million. The gain is subject to final postclosing working capital adjustments. Because the completion of these sales, revenues of the Company will be materially lower than historical levels. Net income, earnings per share and cash flows may also be materially different than previous periods. Quarter ended September 30, 1996 Net sales and operating revenues for the quarter were $84.6 million, a $1.7 million increase from the same period in 1995 and a $4.4 million increase from the second quarter of 1996. Forestry net sales increased by $5.5 million over 1995 and $7.3 million over the second quarter. Cost of sales and operating expenses were $65.8 million, up from $63.0 million in 1995 and $51.6 million in the second quarter of 1996. These costs were 77.8% of net sales and operating revenues in 1996 compared to 76.0% in 1995 and 64.4% in the second quarter 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.2 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared to $8.1 million in the third quarter of 1995 and $5.5 million in the second quarter 1996. As a result of these changes, operating profit was $9.6 million compared to $11.7 million in the same quarter of 1995 and $23.1 million in the second quarter of 1996. Nine Months ended September 30, 1996 Net sales and operating revenues were $335.7 million for the first three quarters of 1996, an increase of $90.5 million over the same period in 1995. The increase was primarily due to land sales to the State of Florida of $97.8 million offset somewhat by a decline in sales by the sugar segment of $8.6 million. Cost of sales and operating expenses stayed fairly constant at $186.5 million compared to 1995 at $187.0 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses rose slightly to $23.4 million in 1996 as compared to $22.7 million in 1995. Operating profit increased to $126.0 million compared to 1995's $35.4 million. An analysis of operating results by segment follows: </TABLE> <TABLE> <CAPTION> Forestry Quarter ended September 30, 1996 1996 1995 % Increase </CAPTION> <S> <C> <C> <C> Net Sales 18.9 13.4 41.0 Cost of Sales 17.2 12.8 34.4 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 2.6 1.5 73.3 Operating Profit (Loss) (0.9) (0.9) 0 </TABLE> This quarter represents the first full quarter the forestry unit has operated completely independent of the Company's formerly owned linerboard mill which was sold on May 30,1996. Sales to the linerboard mill are governed by the Fiber Supply Agreement ("Agreement") executed by the parties at the time of sale. Delivered prices to the mill dropped by 1.89% on August 1, 1996 reflecting the lagging market price mechanism negotiated as part of the Agreement. Sales revenues are booked based on the negotiated market price mechanism adjusted on a quarterly basis. The Agreement continues for fifteen years with two five-year extensions. Annual wood fiber tonnage supplied from Company's lands will not exceed that previously provided to the linerboard mill. During the third quarter approximately 557,000 tons were shipped to the mill under the Agreement compared to approximately 389,000 tons shipped in the same period of 1995. Approximately 54% of the 1996 tonnage was cut from Company lands versus 52% in 1995, the remainder was acquired from private purchases. Nine Months ended September 30, 1996 1996 1995 % Increase (Decrease) Net Sales 44.6 45.3 (1.6) Cost of Sales 42.3 43.1 (2.0) Selling, General and Administrative ExpenseS 3.2 3.6 (10.2) Operating Profit (Loss) (0.9) (1.4) 36.3 Reduced production at the Company's linerboard mill prior to its sale resulted in sales to the mill decreasing during the second quarter. Cost of sales decreased from 95.1% of sales in the first nine months of 1995 to 94.7% in the same period of 1996. Transportation Quarter ended September 30, 1996 1996 1995 % Increase (Decrease) Operating Revenues 44.8 46.7 (4.1) Operating Expenses 35.0 34.9 0.3 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 4.7 4.7 (0.0) Operating Profit 5.1 7.1 (28.2) Rail traffic continued to decline on both the Company's rail subsidiaries. The lower operating revenues are primarily attributable to a decline in rail traffic of 0.5% on FEC and 3.7% on ANRR.

The contract with the segment's customer calls for specific shipment levels throughout the year, but, at the request of the customer, the Company shipped in the first quarter of 1996, in advance of the contract, an amount equal to approximately four months additional shipments. Normal shipments resumed in August but no sugar was shipped in July. Approximately 6,700 less tons (21%) at a reduced net margin of $12 per ton were shipped in the third quarter of 1996 as compared to 1995. Nine Months ended September 30, 1996 1996 1995 % Decrease Net Sales 29.7 38.3 (22.5) Cost of Sales 20.9 26.7 (21.7) Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 2.5 2.8 (10.7) Operating Profit 6.3 8.8 (28.4) Shipments in 1996 dropped 16,200 tons or 19.2% from 1995 levels. Prices also declined $19 per ton or 4.2%. The cost of production declined by $5 or 1.5% in 1996 from $316 in 1995. Real Estate Quarter ended September 30, 1996 1996 1995 % Increase Net Sales 9.9 8.4 17.9 Cost of Sales 5.8 4.8 20.8 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 1.3 0.9 44.4 Operating Profit 2.8 2.7 3.7 Rent and other income increased by $1.5 million in the second quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.4 million. Nine Months ended September 30, 1996 1996 1995 % Increase Net Sales 124.2 23.0 440.0 Cost of Sales 18.4 13.9 32.4 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 3.1 2.1 47.6 Operating Profit 102.7 7.0 1,367.1 In 1996, realty property sales of $97.8 million were made to the State of Florida which did not occur in 1995. Rent and other income increased by $4.6 million in 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 as a result of an increase in normal tenant billings and the addition of .6 million square feet of leaseable square feet. Cost of sales increased principally due to cost associated with the sale of the property to the State of Florida combined with an increase in normal operating costs associated with the additional square footage added. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million. Other Income increased $14.1 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared to 1995. Interest income increased by $9.8 million reflecting investment of the proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations while awaiting their distribution to shareholders. Gain on sales and other dispositions of property, plant and equipment increased $3.0 million, primarily due to the installment sale of fiber optic conduits by FEC. Other income, net rose by $1.0 million. Income from Continuing Operations increased $5.5 million (47%) during the third quarter of 1996 from the same period in 1995. As a result of the sale of the Communications segment and the linerboard mill and container plants and the attendant reduction in employees covered by the Company's pension plans, an estimated gain from curtailment of the pension plans of $1.2 million, net of tax, was recorded as part of the gain on sale of discontinued operations. In addition, the Company's pension plans are in an overfunded position and, with the reduction in employees resulting from the sales, it is unlikely that the overfunding will be realized other than by a plan termination and reversion of excess assets. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the 50% excise tax applicable to plan terminations as additional deferred taxes which amounted to approximately $11.0 million. The Company has no immediate plans to terminate the pension plans and is in the process of evaluating other alternatives. Net income for the quarter was 2.5% above the same period in 1995. Net income per share increased $.01 to $0.38. Incoming from continuing operations was $0.38 per share as compared to $.21 per share in the same period of 1995. Financial Position The Company's financial position remains strong. Current assets rose to $684.6 million, an $187.4 million increase from year end, principally due to the proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations which are awaiting distribution to shareholders. Current liabilities increased by $40.3 million, reflecting liabilities arising from the sale of discontinued operations, causing the current ratio to drop from 11.2 to 1 at year end to 8.1 to 1 at the end of the second quarter. Because of the completion of these sales, revenues of the Company will be materially lower than historical levels. Net income, earnings per share and cash flows may also be materially different than previous periods. The Company increased its investment in marketable securities by $63.5 million over year end. Net property, plant and equipment increased by $20.8 million, largely in FECI. Deferred income taxes grew by $60.7 million, due primarily to deferred taxes on the proceeds of the condemnation sale to the State of Florida. Stockholders' equity at September 30, 1996 was $38.86 per share, an increase of $5.54 from December 31, 1995.
