NOTE 2. COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per common share were computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share were determined based on the assumption of the conversion of stock options using the treasury stock method at average cost for the periods.

The Company accounts for financial instruments as required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”). The largest carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s notes payable is not materially different from market value due to the short maturities on the notes. The interest rate swap derivative is carried at its fair value at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
At the time the Company’s debt was refinanced in 2002, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement. This swap arrangement changes the variable-rate cash flow exposure on the debt obligations to fixed cash flows so that we can manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk. This swap arrangement essentially creates the equivalent of fixed-rate debt. The above referenced transaction is accounted for under the Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Topic of FASB ASC, which requires the derivative to be recognized on the balance sheet at its fair value and the changes in fair value to be accounted for as other comprehensive income or loss. The fair market value of the interest rate swap agreement was determined using Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2). A financial model is used to determine the fair market value of the interest rate swap. The model estimates the expected cash flows discounted at the risk-free rate, using the treasury yield curve, plus the current market observable LIBOR interest rate spread to treasuries, adjusted for the credit risk of the Company. The fair market value recorded on the Balance Sheet at March 31, 2011 was a liability of $431,594. The change in fair value, net of applicable taxes, in the cumulative amount of $265,107 at March 31, 2011, has been recorded as accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders’ equity.
The amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains, gross unrealized holding losses and fair value of held-to-maturity investment securities by major security type and class of security at March 31, 2011 were as follows:

NOTE 4. STOCK OPTION PLAN
Under the 2010 Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), the Company has granted to certain key employees non-vested restricted stock where vesting is based upon the achievement of certain market conditions which are defined as the Company's total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of certain peer groups during a five-year performance period.
The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value of its market condition awards. The determination of the fair value of market condition-based awards is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the requisite performance term of awards, the relative performance of the Company's stock price and shareholder returns to those companies in its peer group, annual dividends and a risk-free interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the achievement of the market conditions, provided the requisite service period is met.

At the end of 2008, the Company focused its efforts on obtaining federal stimulus dollars to extend Dunn Avenue, a major east/west thoroughfare bridging Interstate 95, to provide improved access to Company lands. In June 2009, the Company entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the City of Daytona Beach and the County of Volusia that allowed the use of federal funds to build this road project. The Company’s cost participation projected to be $554,196 (originally estimated at $1,125,000) was paid in 2010. This amount is subject to true-up based on the actual cost of construction.
In November 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by the Company, from time to time, of up to $8 million of its common stock. Through March 31, 2011, the Company has repurchased 4,660 shares at a total cost of $104,648, with no shares repurchased in 2011.
In order to secure tenants for its income properties, the Company may commit to construct or fund tenant improvements on such properties. The Company has committed to construct tenant improvements of approximately $950,000, over the remainder of 2011, at its Mason Commerce Center flex office buildings in Gateway Business Center South, Daytona Beach, Florida. Additionally, the Company has committed to fund leasehold improvements approximating $1,600,000, which is anticipated to be expended in the second quarter of 2011, for the CVS store in Tallahassee, Florida in exchange for a new twenty-five year triple-net lease. These expenditures will be capitalized to property, plant, and equipment, and depreciated over the life of the projects
In December 2008, Wintergreen Advisers, LLC (“Wintergreen”), a Delaware limited liability company and the largest shareholder of the Company, filed a Verified Application for Court Ordered Inspection of the Company’s business records in the Circuit Court for the Seventh Judicial Circuit for Volusia County, Florida. The Verified Application alleged that the Company had not fully satisfied Wintergreen’s second demand to inspect certain corporate records, Wintergreen sought an order requiring the Company to make additional records available for inspection and also requiring the Company to pay Wintergreen’s costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred to obtain the order. The Company believed that Wintergreen’s second demand did not meet Florida’s statutory requirements for production of records, believed that it had fulfilled all of its statutory obligations to Wintergreen, and vigorously defended this action. The hearing in this matter was completed on March 12, 2010, followed by supplemental filings by both parties, the last of which was made on April 8, 2010. On May 7, 2010, the trial court entered a Final Order Partially Granting and Partially Denying Wintergreen’s Verified Application. Wintergreen subsequently appealed this matter, which is presently pending before the Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal. As this is currently a request for information, no loss is expected or has been accrued.
In September 2010, St. Johns River Water Management District (“SJRWMD”) served the Company with an administrative complaint in connection with certain Company agricultural operations. The complaint alleges that the Company constructed and operated a surface water management system without the proper permit. The Company disagreed with SJRWMD’s assertions in the complaint and requested an administrative hearing. The Company’s request for hearing was forwarded to the State of Florida Division of Administrative Hearings and a hearing was scheduled to begin in late March 2011, but was rescheduled for July 2011. On March 4, 2011, the parties filed a joint motion to cancel the hearing on July 12, 2011, and to place this case in abeyance which was granted by the Administrative Law Judge. This motion was precipitated by ongoing settlement negotiations and proposed legislation involving the agricultural exemption presently before the Florida Legislature. The parties proposed to file a case status report no later than July 1, 2011 relative to the status of the legislation. While it is too early to evaluate a potential outcome, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon its financial condition.
From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain other legal proceedings not mentioned above, incidental to the normal course of our business. While the outcome of the legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE 8. BUSINESS SEGMENT DATA
The Company primarily operates in three business segments: real estate, income properties, and golf. Real estate operations include commercial real estate, land sales and development, leasing properties for oil and mineral exploration, and agricultural operations.
The Company evaluates performance based on income or loss from operations before income taxes. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products. They are managed separately because each segment requires different management techniques, knowledge, and skills.
Information about the Company’s operations in different segments is as follows (amount in thousands):

Income represents income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets that are used in the Company’s operations in each segment. General corporate assets and assets used in the Company’s other operations consist primarily of cash, investment securities, and property, plant, and equipment.
NOTE 9. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company’s real estate investments are concentrated in the State of Florida. Uncertainty of the duration of the prolonged real estate and economic slump could have an adverse impact on the Company’s real estate values.

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is designed to be read in conjunction with the financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the last annual report on Form 10-K.
OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
We are primarily engaged in real estate land sales and development, reinvestment of land sales proceeds into income properties, and golf course operations. We own approximately 11,600 acres in Florida, of which approximately 10,500 are located within and form a substantial portion of the western boundary of The City of Daytona Beach. Our lands are well-located in the central Florida’s Interstate 4 corridor, providing an opportunity for reasonably stable land sales in future years.
With our substantial land holdings in Daytona Beach, we have parcels available for the entire spectrum of real estate uses. Along with land sales, we selectively develop parcels primarily for commercial uses. Although pricing levels and changes by us and our immediate competitors can affect sales, we generally enjoy a competitive edge due to low costs associated with long-time land ownership and a significant ownership position in the immediate market. As a general policy we do not discount sales prices to accelerate land sales.
Until the dramatic downturn in the national and local economies in 2008, sales activity on Company owned lands had been strong over the preceding several years. During 2009, land sales were minimal with no land sales occurring in 2010 or the first quarter of 2011. Development activities on and around Company owned lands continued relatively strong throughout 2008 and into 2009 with the commencement and completion of projects planned or in process before the downturn. Sales and development activities over the last several years included: a hospital, a cancer treatment center, a private high school, two public schools, the City of Daytona Beach police headquarters, a fire station, an apartment complex, a residential townhome community, a hotel, a restaurant, office buildings, industrial buildings, a manufacturing facility, a retail furniture store, and expansion of the Daytona Beach Auto Mall. Additionally over the last several years, roads which benefit Company owned land have been constructed, extended or improved.
Historical sales and profits are not indicative of future results because of the unique nature of land sales and variations in the cost basis of owned land. A significant portion of the Company’s profits, in any given year, may be generated through relatively large commercial land sales transactions. The process for these land sales transactions, from the time of preliminary discussions through contract negotiations, due diligence periods, and the closing, can last from several months to several years. The trend in Company profits in 2005 through 2010, in particular profits from real estate sales during that period, followed the overall general trend of the national and local economies and the real estate markets. The residential real estate market reached its peak in late 2005 and early 2006, weakening thereafter with the market, hampered by the overall economy and credit crisis. The local commercial real estate market lagged the residential market downturn by approximately two years. The Company was able to close sales contracts during 2007 which were generated during the years of the strong real estate market. We entered 2008 with a relatively strong contract backlog of real estate contracts. As the economy, real estate markets, and credit markets continued to slow, several of the contracts in place did not result in closings as buyers took a more conservative approach. Although there have been recent signals of improvement in the overall economy and credit markets, we do not expect a significant improvement of economic conditions, in particular the real estate market, during 2011.
In 2000, we initiated a strategy of investing in income properties utilizing the proceeds of agricultural land sales qualifying for income tax deferral through like-kind exchange treatment for tax purposes. Through the end of 2010, we had invested approximately $120 million in twenty-six income properties through this process.
With this investment base in income properties, lease revenue in excess of $9.0 million is projected to be generated annually. This income, along with income from additional net-lease income property investments, is expected to decrease earnings volatility in future years and add to overall financial performance. This has enabled us to enter into the business of building, leasing, and holding in our portfolio select income properties that are strategically located on our lands.
In the third quarter of 2009, we were notified by Barnes & Noble that it would be vacating its store in Lakeland, Florida, upon the expiration of the original lease term at the end of January 2010. The building has since been vacated by Barnes & Noble. During 2010, a three-month short-term lease with Spirit Halloween Superstores was executed on this property, which resulted in $45,000 of revenues during 2010, substantially offsetting annual expenses of the property. We are pursuing opportunities for sale or lease of the property.
The lease on the Barnes & Noble store in Daytona Beach, Florida, was scheduled to expire at the end of January 2011, excluding option years. An amendment to the lease was executed in October 2010, which extended the lease term through January 31, 2015, at a current market lease rate. No other leases have less than six years remaining on the initial lease term.
Additionally, the Company has entered into an agreement with Holiday CVS, LLC to expand its Tallahassee, Florida site and amend the existing triple-net lease to a new 25-year term. The amended lease will reflect the added improvements, which are expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2011 at a cost approximating $1.6 million.
During the fourth quarter of 2009, RBC Centura Bank closed its branch in Altamonte Springs, Florida. The tenant is obligated on the lease and continues to make lease payments.
We currently have two self-developed projects in the lease-up stage. The first project is a two-building 31,000 square-foot flex office space complex located within Mason Commerce Center. Construction of these buildings was completed in 2008. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company executed a lease with the State of Florida for 19,200 square feet in the flex office space complex. Tenant improvements are on schedule for fourth quarter 2011 completion and occupancy of the space. In April 2011 a lease was signed with Walgreen Co. for an additional 3,840 square feet. Occupancy of the space is anticipated in the third quarter of 2011. The addition of these two new leases will bring occupancy of the buildings to approximately 94%.
The second property is the first phase of a 12-acre, 4-lot commercial complex located at the northeast corner of LPGA and Williamson Boulevards in Daytona Beach, Florida. The parcel includes a 22,000 square-foot “Class A” office building. With the exception of additional tenant improvements, which are to be made as vacant space is leased, construction of the building has been completed. Approximately 75% of the building is under lease to two tenants, both of which commenced occupancy in the third quarter of 2009.
Golf operations consist of the operation of two golf courses, a clubhouse facility, and food and beverage activities within the LPGA International mixed-use residential community on the west side of Interstate 95, south and east of LPGA Boulevard. The Champions course was designed by Rees Jones and the Legends course was designed by Arthur Hills.
Our agricultural operations consist of growing, managing, and selling timber and hay on approximately 10,700 acres of land on the west side of Daytona Beach, Florida. We are currently in the process of converting a portion of our timberlands to hay production, and considering other agricultural uses.

SUMMARY OF FIRST QUARTER 2011 OPERATING RESULTS
A net loss totaling $258,905, equivalent to $0.05 per share, was recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2011. This loss represented a downturn from the $77,819 profit, equivalent to $0.01 per share, earned in the same period one year earlier. The most significant impact on 2011 first quarter earnings was a $758,489 ($465,902 net of income taxes) increase in stock option expense compared to 2010. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in our stock price during the first quarter of 2011. Partially offsetting this increased expense were improved results from golf operations due in part to favorable weather in 2011.
We also use Earnings before Depreciation, Amortization, and Deferred Taxes (EBDDT) as a performance measure. Our strategy of investing in income properties through the deferred-tax like-kind exchange process produces significant amounts of depreciation and deferred taxes.
The following is the calculation of EBDDT:

EBDDT is calculated by adding depreciation, amortization, and the change in deferred income tax to net income, as they represent non-cash charges. EBDDT is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Further, EBDDT is not necessarily indicative of cash availability to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. We believe, however, that EBDDT provides relevant information about operations and is useful, along with net income, for an understanding of our operating results.
For the first quarter of 2011, EBDDT totaled $250,477 compared to $769,544 realized in 2010’s same period. Lower EBDDT during period resulted not only from the downturn in profitability but from a decrease in deferred taxes. The decline in deferred income taxes resulted from deferred taxes associated with the stock option accrual and additional depreciation accruals.

REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS
REAL ESTATE SALES
Losses from real estate sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 totaled $248,269. This loss compares to the $191,438 loss generated for the same period of 2010. The increased loss was realized on a 30% rise in costs and expenses as costs from our ongoing hay operation increased as additional lands were put into production. Real estate costs and expenses totaled $318,093 and $244,992 for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. There were no land sales during either period, with revenues totaling $69,824 and $53,554 for the periods of 2011 and 2010, respectively, realized on oil royalties in addition to modest sales of hay.
INCOME PROPERTIES
Revenues from income properties declined 2% during the first quarter of 2011 when compared to 2010’s same period. The revenue decrease to $2,373,725 was due to the loss of rents from the Company’s two Barnes & Noble properties. The lease on the Lakeland, Florida, Barnes & Noble property expired at the end of January 2010 with the Company negotiating a lease extension on the Barnes & Noble store in Daytona Beach, Florida, at a reduced rate effective February 2011. Revenues from income properties totaled $2,416,380 during 2010’s first quarter. Income properties costs and expenses rose 8% compared to the prior year as the result of increased interest expense in addition to expenses associated with the vacant Lakeland, Florida property formerly paid by Barnes & Noble. Income properties costs and expenses were $651,700 and $602,715 for the first three month periods of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Profits of $1,722,025 were generated in the first quarter of 2011, representing a 5% decrease from profits totaling $1,813,665 during the first quarter of 2010.
GOLF OPERATIONS
Favorable weather conditions experienced in the first quarter of 2011 helped to generate increased revenues and improved profitability from golf operations. Revenues totaling $1,373,576 during the first quarter of 2011 represented an 18% gain over the prior year’s same period, while losses were reduced 28% to $260,584. During 2010’s first quarter revenues amounting to $1,168,881 produced a loss of $361,539. Both golf and food and beverage activities contributed to the 2011 revenue gain with golf revenues increasing 19% and food and beverage revenues growing 15%. These gains were achieved on a 27% increase in the number of rounds played during the period and somewhat offset by a 6% reduction in the average greens fee per round played. Golf operations costs and expenses rose 7% during the period to $1,634,160. The escalation, from $1,530,420 in 2010’s same period, was the result of the increased activity in addition to higher course maintenance costs.
GENERAL, CORPORATE, AND OTHER
There were no releases of subsurface interest during the first quarter of 2011, with releases on 10 acres producing profits on the sale of other real estate interests of $12,825 for the corresponding three-month period of 2010.
Interest and other income totaled $175,211 in the first quarter of 2011 and included the recognition of a $91,000 gain on insurance proceeds received on destroyed agriculture equipment and the sale of fill dirt totaling $25,908. Interest earned on investment securities was in line with the prior year’s same period when interest and other income totaled $54,239.
A 48% increase in general and administrative expenses was posted in the first quarter of 2011 when compared to the prior year’s same period. The increase was substantially due to a $758,489 rise in stock option expense, primarily due to a gain in the Company's stock price. During 2010’s first quarter stock option accruals resulted in a $309,336 addition to income. Somewhat offsetting this increase were reductions in legal expenses, primarily associated with lower shareholder litigation expenses, compensation costs, and loan costs. General and administrative costs totaled $1,792,613 and $1,205,947 for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
15
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2011, cash and investment securities totaled $4,940,677 with there being no funds held for reinvestment through the like-kind exchange process at that date. This balance represented a decline of $336,565 from the cash and investment security balances held at December 31, 2010. Additionally, notes payable increased $314,939 during the first three-months of 2011 to $15,564,187. Major uses of funds during the period were centered on development and construction activities in addition to payment of year end 2010 liabilities.
Development activities, which approximated $230,000 for the three-month period, included the continuation of our hay conversion program, obtaining approval for the first phase of a professional/medical office park across from the new Florida Memorial Hospital and beginning the permitting process for a pre-permitted industrial site capable of supporting a facility of up to 148,000 square feet. An additional $112,000 was expended on tenant improvements for our self-developed flex office complex in Mason Commerce Center.
Capital expenditures projected for the remainder of 2011 approximate $5,200,000. The projected expenditures include the acquisition of 14 acres of land and the CVS Tallahassee, Florida leasehold improvements, through the IRS Section 1033 process, for $1,800,000 and $1,600,000, respectively. Additional capital expenditures projected for 2011 consist of approximately $600,000 for continuation of the hay conversion program and $500,000 for tenant improvements at our self-developed flex office space in Mason Commerce Center. Additional funds are expected to be expended on tenant improvements on our self-developed income properties as leases are secured. Other than the committed tenant improvements, capital expenditures can be reduced at our discretion based on operating cash needs. As additional funds become available through qualified sales, we expect to reinvest in additional real estate opportunities.
Capital to fund the planned expenditures in 2011and the near future is expected to be provided from cash, operating activities, and financing sources that are currently in place, including the revolving line of credit. We are currently negotiating with our lender to extend and expand the $15 million revolving line of credit which matures in March 2012. Additionally, the Company has a portfolio of investment securities, which totaled $4,821,879 at March 31, 2011, and primarily consists of debt securities issued by states and political subdivisions of states with varying maturities. These investment securities can be utilized, as they mature, for capital requirements. It is the Company’s intention to hold the investments to maturity.
We also believe, if necessary, we have the ability to borrow on our remaining income property portfolio including our self-developed properties, which are unencumbered at this time. It is anticipated that when our two self-developed properties reach stable occupancy levels financing will be pursued on these properties at a level not to exceed a 50% loan-to-value ratio.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase shares of our common stock having an aggregate value of up to $8,000,000. The authorization permits us to effect the repurchases from time to time through a variety of methods including open market repurchases and privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase plan is intended to be funded through reduced dividend payments in the future. We have no plans to increase debt to fund the repurchase plan. Through May 1, 2011, 4,660 shares had been repurchased at a total cost of $104,648, with no repurchases occurring during 2011.
Our Board of Directors and management continually review the allocation of any excess capital with the goal of providing the highest long-term return for all shareholders. The reviews consider various alternatives, including increasing or decreasing regular dividends, declaring special dividends, repurchasing stock, and retaining funds for reinvestment, including road development and hay conversion of timber lands. Annually, the Board reviews the business plan and corporate strategies, and makes adjustments as circumstances warrant.
At its regular Board meeting on April 27, 2011, the Company declared a dividend of $0.01 per share and announced that in the future dividends are expected to be declared and paid on a semi-annual basis. The Company believes it is important to provide a dividend to its shareholders and given the current dividend level and the economic outlook, it is more prudent to pay the dividend on a semi-annual basis. The proposed semi-annual dividend is expected to begin in October 2011. The board will continue to review its dividend strategy and capital needs on a regular basis.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated condensed financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying our accounting policies in many areas. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011 there have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies affecting the application of those accounting policies as noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The principal market risk (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices) to which we are exposed is interest rates. The objective of our asset management activities is to provide an adequate level of liquidity to fund operations and capital expansion, while minimizing market risk. We utilize overnight sweep accounts and short-term investments to minimize the interest rate risk. We do not actively invest or trade in equity securities. We do not believe that the interest rate risk related to cash equivalents and short-term investments is material due to the nature of the investments.
We manage our debt, considering investment opportunities and risk, tax consequences, and overall financial strategies. We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk on our $8,000,000 ($5,840,702 outstanding at March 31, 2011) long-term mortgage. The borrowing bears a variable rate of interest based on market rates. Management’s objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower the overall borrowing costs. To achieve this objective, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement during the second quarter of 2002. A hypothetical change in the interest rate of 100 basis points (i.e. 1%) would not materially affect our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation, as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In December 2008, Wintergreen Advisers, LLC (“Wintergreen”), a Delaware limited liability company and the largest shareholder of the Company, filed a Verified Application for Court Ordered Inspection of the Company’s business records in the Circuit Court for the Seventh Judicial Circuit for Volusia County, Florida. The Verified Application alleged that the Company had not fully satisfied Wintergreen’s second demand to inspect certain corporate records, and Wintergreen sought an order requiring the Company to make additional records available for inspection and also requiring the Company to pay Wintergreen’s costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred to obtain the order. The Company believed that Wintergreen’s second demand did not meet Florida’s statutory requirements for production of records, believed that it had fulfilled all of its statutory obligations to Wintergreen and vigorously defended this action. The hearing in this matter was completed on March 12, 2010, followed by supplemental filings by both parties, the last of which was made on April 8, 2010. On May 7, 2010, the trial court entered a Final Order Partially Granting and Partially Denying Wintergreen’s Verified Application. Wintergreen subsequently appealed this matter which is presently pending before the Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal. Since the filing of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, no material changes occured in this matter.
In September 2010, St. Johns River Water Management District (“SJRWMD”) served the Company with an administrative complaint in connection with certain Company agricultural operations. The complaint alleges that the Company constructed and operated a surface water management system without the proper permit. The Company disagreed with SJRWMD’s assertions in the complaint and requested an administrative hearing. The Company’s request for hearing was forwarded to the State of Florida Division of Administrative Hearings and a hearing was scheduled to begin in late March 2011, but was rescheduled for July 2011. On March 4, 2011, the parties filed a joint motion to cancel the hearing on July 12, 2011, and to place this case in abeyance which was granted by the Administrative Law Judge. This motion was precipitated by ongoing settlement negotiations and proposed legislation involving the agricultural exemption presently before the Florida Legislature. The parties proposed to file a case status report no later than July 1, 2011 relative to the status of the legislation. While it is too early to evaluate a potential outcome, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition. Since the filing of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, no material changes occured in this matter.
From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain other legal proceedings not mentioned above, incidental to the normal course of our business. While the outcome of the legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Certain statements contained in this report (other than statements of historical fact) are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “forecast,” “project,” and similar expressions and variations thereof identify certain of such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they were made. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect upon the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management’s expectations or that the effect of future developments on the Company will be those anticipated by management.
We wish to caution readers that the assumptions which form the basis for forward-looking statements with respect to or that may impact earnings for the year ended December 31, 2011, and thereafter, include many factors that are beyond the Company’s ability to control or estimate precisely. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the strength of the real estate market in the City of Daytona Beach and Volusia County, Florida; the impact of a prolonged recession or further downturn in economic conditions; our ability to successfully execute acquisition or development strategies; any loss of key management personnel; changes in local, regional, and national economic conditions affecting the real estate development business and income properties; the impact of environmental and land use regulations; the impact of competitive real estate activity; variability in quarterly results due to the unpredictable timing of land sales; the loss of any major income property tenants; and the availability of capital. These risks and uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. There have been no material changes to those risk factors. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company.
While we periodically reassesses material trends and uncertainties affecting our results of operations and financial condition, we do not intend to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement referenced herein in light of future events.
