FORESTAR REAL ESTATE GROUP INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1
Background
On
December 28, 2007, Temple-Inland Inc. distributed 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of
our common stock to the holders of record of Temple-Inland common
stock. (Also on December 28, 2007, Temple-Inland
distributed 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Guaranty Financial Group, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Temple-Inland that operated Temple-Inlands financial services
business.) As a result of the spin-off, our financial statements
prior to 2008 reflect the historical accounts of the real estate
development, minerals and fiber operations contributed to us and have
been derived from the historical financial statements and accounts of
Temple-Inland. Beginning in fiscal year 2008, we changed our fiscal year from a 52/53 week fiscal year ending the Saturday closest to December 31 to a calendar year.
Note 2
Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements are our primary financial statements and include 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. Minority interest in consolidated pass-through entities is 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 only distribution of accumulated earnings).
We prepared these 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 of the information and disclosures required by
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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. We make estimates and assumptions about future events. Actual results can, and probably will, differ from
those we currently estimate. Examples of significant estimates include those related to allocating
costs to real estate 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007.
Note 3 New Accounting Pronouncements
Beginning
January 2008, two new accounting pronouncements were effective:
|
|
|
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements - This
standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of this statement did not have a
significant effect on our earnings or financial position. |
4
|
|
|
SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
-
This standard permits the election of fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement
method for many financial assets and liabilities. Subsequent changes in the fair value
would be recognized in earnings as they occur. We did not elect the
fair value option for any of our financial assets or liabilities. |
In addition, there are three new accounting pronouncements that we will be required to adopt
in 2009. Based on our current understanding, we do not expect that adoption of any of these
pronouncements will have a significant effect on our earnings or financial position.
|
|
|
SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations - This new standard
requires most identifiable
assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business
combination to be recorded at full fair value, and is effective for business combinations
occurring after our year-end 2008. The new standard also changes the approach to
determining the purchase price; the accounting for acquisition cost; and the accounting
practices for acquired contingencies, restructuring costs, long-lived assets, share-based
payment awards, indemnification costs, and tax benefits. |
|
|
|
|
SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated
Financial Statements - This new
standard specifies that noncontrolling interest be reported as a part of equity, not as a
liability or other item outside of equity, and is effective for our first quarter 2009. |
|
|
|
|
SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - This new
standard, which is effective for our first quarter 2009, requires enhanced disclosures
about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and
related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations;
and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. |

Included in entitled, developed and under development land are the estimated cost of assets we
expect to convey to utility or improvement districts of $54,295,000
at first quarter-end 2008 and
$40,843,000 at year-end 2007. These costs relate to water, sewer and other infrastructure
assets for which the utility or improvement districts have agreed to reimburse us. We billed these
districts $12,011,000 in first three months 2008 and $24,540,000 in first three months
2007.
Depreciation
expense, primarily related to commercial operating properties, was
$400,000 in first three months 2008 and
$507,000 in first three months 2007, and is
included in other operating expense.

Note 5
Investment in Unconsolidated Ventures
At
first quarter-end 2008, we had ownership interests ranging from 25 to 50 percent in 15 ventures
that we account for using the equity method. Our two largest ventures
at first quarter-end 2008 are CL
Realty and Temco, in both of which we own a 50 percent interest and Cousins Real Estate Corporation
owns the other 50 percent interest. Information regarding CL Realty and Temco follows:
|
|
|
CL Realty, L.L.C. was formed in 2002 for the purpose of developing
residential and mixed-use communities in Texas and across the
southeastern United States. At first quarter-end 2008, the venture had 15

and developing residential real estate sites in Georgia. At first quarter-end
2008, the venture had 5 residential and mixed-use communities, all of
which are located in Georgia. The venture also owns approximately
6,100 acres of undeveloped land in Georgia. |

Includes current maturities of debt of $29,450,000 at first
quarter-end 2008 and $36,337,000 at year-end 2007. |
|
(b) |
|
Our share of the equity in other ventures reflects our
ownership interests ranging from 25 to 50 percent,
excluding venture losses that exceed our investment where
we are not obligated to fund those losses. We have no real
estate ventures that are accounted for using the cost
method. |
|
(c) |
|
In 2003, we contributed real estate with a $13,800,000
carrying value to CL Realty in exchange for $13,800,000
cash and a 50 percent interest in the partnership. We
deferred the $14,587,000 gain and are
recognizing it as the partnership sells the real estate to
third parties. The deferred gain is reflected as an offset
to our investment in unconsolidated ventures. |
|
(d) |
|
CL Realty revenues and earnings include $1,568,000 from
leasing 241 net mineral acres to a third-party exploration and
production company. Our share of earnings from this lease was
$784,000 and is included in equity in earnings of unconsolidated
ventures. |
During
first three months 2008, we invested $4,263,000 in these ventures and
received $3,434,000 in distributions. During first three months 2007, we invested
$1,615,000 in these ventures and received $2,089,000 in distributions. Distributions include both
return of investments and distributions of earnings.

Our senior credit facility and other debt agreements contain terms, conditions, and financial
covenants customary for such agreements including minimum levels of interest coverage and
limitations on leverage. At first quarter-end 2008, we had complied with the terms, conditions, and
financial covenants of these agreements.
Our senior credit facility provides for a $175,000,000 term loan and a $290,000,000 revolving
line of credit. We may, upon notice to the lenders, request an increase in the credit facility to
provide for a total of $500,000,000. The revolving line of credit includes a $100,000,000 sublimit
available for letters of credit, and a $25,000,000 swing line sublimit. 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 2008, we had $208,743,000 in unused borrowing capacity
under our senior credit facility, which is subject to a $35,000,000
minimum liquidity requirement at the end of each quarter resulting in
a net unused borrowing capacity of $173,743,000.
7
At first quarter-end 2008, unamortized origination and other fees related to our credit
facility were $9,573,000, which are included in other assets. Amortization of deferred financing fees
in connection with our senior credit facility was $855,000 for first three months 2008 and
none for first three months 2007.
At first quarter-end 2008, commercial operating properties having a book value of $21,936,000
were subject to liens in connection with $16,288,000 of debt, and entitled, developed and under
development land principally in consolidated ventures and having a book value of $162,217,000 was subject to liens in connection with
$74,302,000 of principally non-recourse debt.
Note 7 Derivative Instruments
We use interest rate agreements in the normal course of business to mitigate the risk inherent in
interest rate fluctuations by entering into contracts with major U.S. securities firms. During
first quarter 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that matures in 2010 for a
total notional amount of $100,000,000.
Under this swap agreement, we pay a fixed interest rate of 6.57 percent and receive a floating
interest rate of one month LIBOR plus 4.00 percent (6.86% at first quarter-end 2008). At first
quarter-end 2008, the fair value of this interest rate swap agreement was a $507,000 liability
which is included in other liabilities. The interest rate swap agreement was designed to offset
the cash flow variability of probable interest rate payments associated with our variable-rate
debt. The hedged cash flows are the interest rate payments associated with the first $100,000,000
of our variable-rate borrowings. Our interest rate swap meets the conditions required for
effectiveness under the variable cash flows methodology of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The effectiveness of the hedge relationship will be
periodically assessed by comparing the present value of the cumulative change in the expected
future interest cash flows on the variable leg of the swap and the present value of the cumulative
change in the expected future hedged cash flows.
Note 8
Contingencies
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.
Liabilities in connection with environmental remediation 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 approximately 285 acres in several parcels in or near Antioch, California,
portions of which were sites of a Temple-Inland paper manufacturing operation and related support
facilities that need remediation. We estimate the cost we will likely incur to complete remediation
activities will be about $5,790,000, of which $771,000 was paid during first three months
2008. The remaining balance of $5,019,000 is included in other accrued expenses.
We do not believe that the outcome of any of
these proceedings or matters should have a significant 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 our
results or cash flows in any one accounting period.
Note 9
Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income
Other
comprehensive (loss) income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during
the period derived from non-owner sources. Our
other comprehensive (loss) income consists of net (loss) income and the change in
fair value of an interest rate swap
agreement.

Note 10
Net (Loss) Income per Share
For
first three months 2008, we computed basic and diluted net loss per share based upon the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For
first three months 2007, we computed basic and diluted net income per share based upon the number of
shares of our common stock distributed by Temple-Inland on December 28, 2007.
At first quarter-end 2008, we did not include
outstanding option awards or unvested restricted stock in our diluted
weighted-average shares outstanding calculation because those items
would have been anti-dilutive as a result of our net loss. We had
2,664,000 potentially dilutive awards at first quarter-end 2008.
At
first quarter-end 2008, Temple-Inland and Guaranty directors and employees held 83,000 stock-settled units
on our stock. The following table summarizes outstanding stock option awards on our stock held by
Temple-Inland and Guaranty directors and employees at first quarter-end 2008:

Note 11 Segment Information
In
first quarter 2008, we changed our reportable segments to reflect our
post-spin management of the assets and liabilities transferred to us
from Temple-Inland. All prior period segment information has been
reclassified to conform to the current presentation. 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 commercial operating
properties. Mineral resources manages our mineral interests, and fiber resources manages our timber
and recreational leases.
We evaluate performance based on segment earnings before unallocated items and income taxes.
Segment earnings consist of operating income, equity in earnings of unconsolidated ventures and
minority interest expense in consolidated ventures. Unallocated items consist of general and
administrative expense, share-based compensation, other non-operating income and expense and
interest expense. All our revenues are derived from U.S. operations and all our assets are
located in the U.S. No single customer accounts for more than ten percent of our revenues.

12 Share-Based Compensation
Post-Spin Awards
In
February 2008, we granted awards under our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. A summary
of the awards follows.
Cash-settled awards
Cash-settled
awards vest 50 percent after year one and 50 percent after year two from
the date of grant and provide for accelerated vesting upon retirement, death, disability or if
there is a change in control. We recognize compensation costs based upon the current vested value
of outstanding awards, which are included in other liabilities. The following table summarizes the activity of awards granted under our plan

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 awards granted

Stock options are valued based upon the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Awards granted in
the first three months of 2008 were valued based upon the following assumptions:
|
|
|
|
|
Expected dividend yield |
|
|
0.0 |
% |
Expected stock price volatility |
|
|
31.0 |
% |

2.7 |
% |
Expected life of options in years |
|
|
6 |
|
Weighted average estimated fair value of options granted |
|
$ |
10.22 |
|
As we have limited historical experience as a stand alone company, we utilized other sources
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. 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.
Pre-Spin Awards
Prior to the spin-off, we participated in Temple-Inlands share-based compensation plans, and
as a result, certain of our directors and employees received share-based compensation in the form of restricted
or performance stock units, restricted stock, or options to purchase shares of Temple-Inlands common
stock. Concurrent with Temple-Inlands distribution of our common stock, all outstanding
Temple-Inland
awards were adjusted into three separate awards: one related to Forestar common stock, one
related to Guaranty common stock and one related to Temple-Inland common stock.
11
During 2007, the expense for share-based compensation awards granted to our employees under
Temple-Inlands plans was allocated to us by Temple-Inland. We
continue to recognize share-based compensation expense over the
remaining vesting period associated with our employees and
directors awards in
Forestar, Guaranty and Temple-Inland stock.
Cash-settled awards
Cash-settled awards generally vest and are paid after three years from the date of grant or
the attainment of defined performance goals, generally measured over a three-year period. A summary
of cash-settled awards outstanding to our directors and employees at
first quarter-end 2008, following the
adjustments described previously, follows:

awards.
Restricted stock
Restricted stock awards generally vest after three to six years, and provide for accelerated
vesting upon retirement, death, disability or if there is a change in control. Compensation costs
are recognized ratably over the service period.
All
outstanding restricted stock awards at year-end 2007 vested during first quarter 2008.
The total fair value of these awards was $474,000.
Stock options
Stock options have a ten-year term, generally become exercisable ratably over four years and

The fair value of awards granted to retirement-eligible employees and expensed at the date of
grant was $1,321,000 in the first three months of 2008.
Unrecognized
share-based compensation for post-spin awards not vested was
$8,699,000 at first quarter-end 2008. It is likely that this cost will be recognized as expense over the next four years.
Unrecognized share-based compensation for pre-spin awards not vested
was $2,241,000 at first quarter-end 2008. It is likely that this cost will be recognized as expense over the next three years.
In connection with restricted stock vested and stock options exercised, we withheld
shares having a value of $1,822,000 for payment of payroll taxes. These shares are
accounted for as treasury stock. Payroll taxes on restricted stock and stock options is
reflected in financing activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

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; |
|
|
|
|
the opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to us and that we may pursue; |
|
|
|
|
future residential or commercial entitlements; |
13
|
|
|
expected development timetables and projected timing for sales of lots or other parcels
of land; |
|
|
|
|
development approvals and the ability to obtain such approvals; |
|
|
|
|
the anticipated price ranges of lots in our developments; |
|
|
|
|
the number, price, and timing of land sales or acquisitions; |
|
|
|
|
estimated land holdings for a particular use within a specified time frame; |
|
|
|
|
absorption rates and expected gains on land and lot sales; |
|
|
|
|
the levels of resale inventory in our development projects and the regions in which
they are located; |
|
|
|
|
the development of relationships with strategic partners; |
|
|
|
|
the pace at which we release lots for sale; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in costs and expenses; |
|
|
|
|
demand for new housing, which can be affected by the availability of mortgage credit; |
|
|
|
|
government energy policies; |
|
|
|
|
competitive actions by other companies; |
|
|
|
|
changes in laws or regulations and actions or restrictions of regulatory agencies; |
|
|
|
|
the results of financing efforts, including our ability to obtain financing on
favorable terms; |
|
|
|
|
the ability to complete merger, acquisition or divestiture plans; regulatory or other
limitations imposed as a result of a merger, acquisition or divestiture; and the success of
the business following a merger, acquisition or divestiture; and |
|
|
|
|
the final resolutions or outcomes with respect to our contingent and other corporate
liabilities related to our business. |
Other factors, including the risk factors described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007, 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.
Introduction
In first quarter 2008, we changed our reportable segments to reflect
our post-spin management of the assets and liabilities transferred to
us from Temple-Inland. All prior period segment information has been
reclassified to conform to the current presentation. We manage our operations through three business segments:
|
|
|
Real estate,
|
|
|
|
|
Mineral resources, and
|
|
|
|
|
Fiber resources.
|
Unless otherwise indicated,
information is presented as of March 31, 2008, and references to acreage owned includes all acres owned by ventures regardless of our ownership interest in a venture.

|
|
|

realization of value from natural resources; and |
|
|
|
|
accelerated growth through strategic and disciplined investment in real estate. |
We manage our operations through three business segments: real estate, mineral resources and

Significant aspects of our results of operations in first three months 2008 follow:
|
|
|
|
Mineral resources segment earnings increased as a result of
leasing about 5,300 net mineral acres. |
|
|
|
|
Fiber resources segment earnings increased principally as a
result of gain from partial termination of a timber lease. |
|
|
|
|
Interest expense increased as a result of higher debt levels
and higher borrowing costs. |
|
|
|
|
Share-based compensation increased primarily due to accelerated expense recognition
in conjunction with awards granted to retirement-eligible employees in first quarter 2008. |
|
|
|
|
General and administrative expenses increased as a result of costs associated with
the continued development of corporate functions necessary as a stand alone company. |

Current Market Conditions
Current conditions in the residential development industry are difficult due to an oversupply
of housing, declining sales volume for existing and new homes, flat to declining sales prices, and
a significant tightening of mortgage credit. A decline in consumer confidence is also evident. All
geographic markets and products have not been affected to the same extent or with equal severity,
but most have experienced declines. It is likely these conditions will continue throughout 2008.
Business Segments
We operate three business segments:
|
|
|
Real estate, |
|
|
|
|
Mineral resources, and |
|
|
|
|
Fiber resources. |
We evaluate performance based on earnings before unallocated items and income taxes. Segment
earnings consist of operating income and equity in earnings of unconsolidated ventures, less
minority interest expense in consolidated ventures. Unallocated items consist of general and
administrative expense, share-based compensation, other non-operating income and expense, and
interest expense. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
accounting policy note to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007.
Our operations are affected to varying degrees by supply and demand factors and economic
conditions including changes in interest rates; new housing starts; availability of mortgage credit; real estate values; employment
levels; market prices for oil, gas and timber; and the overall strength of the U.S. economy.
Real Estate
We own directly or through ventures about 372,000 acres of real estate located in ten states
and 13 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
303,000 acres in a broad area around Atlanta, Georgia, with the balance located primarily in Texas.
We also actively invest in new projects principally in our strategic growth corridors, regions of
accelerated growth 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.

Residential real estate revenues consist of the sale of single-family lots to national,
regional and local homebuilders. In first three months 2008, residential real estate revenues
decreased principally as a result of the sale of 192 high density lots for a lower average sales
price per lot compared to 2007.
In first three months 2008, undeveloped land sales revenue increased as a result of selling
1,349 acres for an average sales price of $4,600 per acre. In first three months 2007, we sold 268
acres of undeveloped land for an average sales price of $5,600 per acre.

Mineral Resources
We own directly or through ventures about 622,000 net acres of oil and gas mineral interests.
Our mineral resources segment is focused on maximizing the value from royalties and other lease
revenues from our oil and gas mineral interests located in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia.
These operations have historically required low capital investment, and we use the cash flow
generated by our mineral interests to accelerate real estate value creation activities.

Other lease revenues for the first three months of 2008 includes a $2,021,000 lease bonus
payment as a result of leasing approximately 5,100 net mineral acres.
Royalties include our share of over 19,000 barrels of oil and
approximately 256,000 thousand cubic feet (mcf) of natural gas production related to
our royalty interests.
Fiber Resources
Our fiber resources segment principally focuses on the management of our timber
holdings. We have about 347,000 acres of timber on our undeveloped
land and land in the entitlement process and over 18,000 acres of
timber under lease. We sell wood fiber from our land, primarily in Georgia, and lease land for
hunting and other recreational uses.

In
first quarter 2008, we sold about 209,000 tons of fiber at an average
price of $10 per ton, the majority of which was sold to Temple-Inland
at market prices. In first quarter 2007, we sold about 280,000 tons
of fiber at an average price of $11 per ton.
18
Items Not Allocated to Segments
The
increase in interest expense was due to a higher average debt balance
and higher borrowing costs.
The increase in share-based compensation was principally a result of awards granted in the
first quarter of 2008. In conjunction with these grants, we recognized accelerated expense for
retirement eligible employees as well as immediate expense for fully vested awards to members of
our board. The change was also due to an increase in the number of participants in our plan.
The increase in general and administrative expenses in the first three months of 2008 was due
to increased costs associated with our corporate functions now that
we are a stand alone public company.
Income Taxes
Our
effective tax rate was 38 percent in first three months 2008 and
37 percent in first three months 2007. We anticipate that our effective tax rate in 2008 will be about 38 percent.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Sources and Uses of Cash
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 commercial operating properties and borrowings. Operating cash flows are also 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. 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 or improvement districts and the payment of
payables and expenses.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from our real estate development activities are classified as operating cash flows.
Cash flows related to minerals, timber and recreational leases are also
classified as operating cash flows.
In first three months 2008, net cash used in operating activities was
$14,050,000. In first three months 2007, net cash used in operating
activities was $45,199,000. In first quarter 2008,
expenditures for real estate development and acquisitions exceeded
non-cash cost of sales principally due to our continued development
of existing real estate projects, principally in the major markets of
Texas. In first quarter 2007, expenditures
for real estate development and acquisitions significantly exceeded
non-cash cost of sales due to the investment in three new real estate
projects for $31,195,000.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Capital contributions to and capital distributions from unconsolidated ventures are classified
as investing activities. In addition, expenditures related to reforestation activities in our
fiber resources segment are classified as investing activities.
In first three months 2008, net cash used in investing activities was
$2,142,000 as capital contributions to our unconsolidated
ventures exceeded our capital distributions. In first three months
2007, net cash used in investing activities was $187,000, as capital
distributions from our unconsolidated ventures exceeded our capital
contributions.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
In first
three months 2008, net cash provided by financing activities was $17,025,000. In first three months 2007, net cash provided by financing activities was $48,076,000. In first quarter 2008, the increase in our debt funded
our expenditures for real estate development, principally in the
major markets of Texas. In first quarter 2007, the increase
in our debt and note payable to Temple-Inland funded our net expenditures for real estate
development and acquisition.
19
Liquidity, Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There
have been no significant changes in our liquidity, contractual obligations and off-balance sheet
arrangements since year-end 2007, except for an interest rate swap agreement entered into during first quarter 2008. This interest rate
instrument expires in 2010 and is for a total notional amount of $100,000,000. It is non-exchange
traded and is valued using third-party resources and models. At first quarter-end 2008, the fair
value of our interest rate instrument was a $507,000 liability.

A project is deemed to be in the entitlement process when
customary steps necessary for the preparation and submittal
of an application, like conducting pre-application meetings
or similar discussions with governmental officials, have
commenced, or an application has been filed. Projects
listed may have significant steps remaining, and there is
no assurance that entitlements ultimately will be received. |

approvals have been received. Some projects may require additional
permits for development. |

(b) |
|
Interest owned reflects our net equity interest in the project,
whether owned directly or indirectly. There are some projects that
have multiple ownership structures within them. Accordingly,
portions of these projects may appear as owned, consolidated, and/or
accounted for on the equity method. |
|
(c) |
|
Lots are for the total project, regardless of our ownership interest. |
|
(d) |
|
Commercial acres are for the total project, regardless of our
ownership interest, and are net developable acres, which may be
fewer than the gross acres available in the project. |
|
(e) |
|
The Lantana project consists of a series of 21 partnerships in which
our voting interests range from 25 percent to 55 percent. We account
for eight of these partnerships using the equity method and we
consolidate the remaining partnerships. |
Accounting Policies
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There were no
changes in our critical accounting policies or estimates from those at year-end 2007.
Recent Accounting Standards
Please read Note 3 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
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 at first quarter-end 2008,
with comparative year-end 2007 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.

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. The interest rate sensitivity change from year-end 2007 is
principally due to the exchange of variable-rate debt for fixed-rate
debt resulting from our interest rate swap agreement with a $100,000,000 notional amount.
Foreign Currency Risk
We have no exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.
22
Commodity Price Risk
We have no significant exposure to commodity price fluctuations.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
At first quarter-end 2008, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial
Officer (our principal financial officer), we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act)). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief
Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined under
Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the first quarter 2008 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
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.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There are no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None.
