Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Forestar Group Inc., all subsidiaries, ventures and other entities in which we have a controlling interest and variable interest entities of which we are the primary beneficiary. We eliminate all material intercompany accounts and transactions. In our consolidated balance sheets we have reclassified prior years' other accrued expenses that were included in accounts payable to conform to the current year presentation. Noncontrolling interests in consolidated pass-through entities are recognized before income taxes. We account for our investment in other entities in which we have significant influence over operations and financial policies using the equity method (we recognize our share of the entities’ income or loss and any preferential returns and treat distributions as a reduction of our investment). We account for our investment in other entities in which we do not have significant influence over operations and financial policies using the cost method (we recognize as income distributions of accumulated earnings).

We prepare our unaudited interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for interim financial statements. As a result, they do not include all the information and disclosures required for complete financial statements. However, in our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items unless otherwise noted. We make estimates and assumptions about future events. Actual results can, and probably will, differ from those we currently estimate including those principally related to allocating cost of sales to real estate, measuring long-lived assets for impairment, oil and gas revenue accruals, capital expenditure and lease operating expense accruals associated with our oil and gas production activities, oil and gas reserves and depletion of our oil and gas properties. 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 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In first quarter 2013, we strategically changed our reportable segments to better reflect the underlying market fundamentals and operating strategy of our core business operations, real estate and oil and gas. With this change, we aggregated our fiber and water resource operating results in other natural resources. All prior period segment information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These changes did not impact our consolidated net income or cash flows.

Note 2—New and Pending Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2013

In first quarter 2013, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-10 — Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate, ASU 2012-02 — Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment and ASU No. 2013-01 — Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Adoption of these pronouncements did not have a significant effect on our earnings or financial position.

Pending Accounting Standards

ASU 2013-04 — Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date will be effective in first quarter 2014. This ASU requires an entity that is jointly and severally liable to measure the obligation as the sum of the amount the entity has agreed with co-obligors to pay and any additional amount it expects to pay on behalf of one or more co-obligors. We are currently evaluating the impact adoption of this ASU will have on our earnings, financial position and disclosures.

Included in entitled, developed and under development projects are the estimated costs of assets we expect to convey to utility and improvement districts of $52,902,000 at second quarter-end 2013 and $50,476,000 at year-end 2012, including $34,252,000 at both second quarter-end 2013 and year-end 2012 related to our Cibolo Canyons project near San Antonio, Texas. These costs relate to water, sewer and other infrastructure assets we have submitted to utility or improvement districts for approval and reimbursement. We submitted for reimbursement to these districts $1,966,000 in first six months 2013 and $2,350,000 in first six months 2012. We collected reimbursements of $1,081,000 from these districts in first six months 2013 and $637,000 in first six months 2012. We expect to collect the remaining amounts billed when these districts achieve adequate tax bases to support payment.

Also included in entitled, developed and under development projects is our investment in the resort development owned by third parties at our Cibolo Canyons project. We received $1,800,000 in payments from the special improvement district in first six months 2013 and $300,000 in first six months 2012. At second quarter-end 2013, we have $30,717,000 invested in the resort development.

In first six months 2013, commercial and income producing properties decreased by $29,707,000 as result of selling Promesa for $41,000,000, a 289-unit multifamily property we developed and sold in Austin. We received $21,522,000 in net proceeds, reduced our outstanding debt by $18,902,000 and recognized $10,881,000 in segment earnings. At second quarter-end 2013, commercial and income producing properties primarily represents our investment in a 413 guest room hotel in Austin with a carrying value of $21,069,000 and our investment in multifamily development sites located in Charlotte, Nashville and Dallas with a carrying value of $22,597,000.

Depreciation expense, primarily related to commercial and income producing properties, was $1,384,000 in first six months 2013 and $1,812,000 in first six months 2012 and is included in other operating expenses.

The allocation of the Credo purchase price is subject to change as we obtain additional information during the acquisition measurement period, in particular, allocation of the estimated values assigned to oil and gas properties and equipment, goodwill and deferred tax liability.

^(b)	Includes unamortized deferred gains on real estate contributed by us to ventures. We recognize deferred gains as income as real estate is sold to third parties. Deferred gains of $855,000 are reflected as a reduction to our investment in unconsolidated ventures at second quarter-end 2013.

^(c)

We acquired these equity investments from CL Realty in 2012 at estimated fair value. The difference between estimated fair value of the equity investment and our capital account within the respective ventures at closing (basis difference) will be accreted as income or expense over the life of the investment and included in our share of earnings (loss) from the respective ventures. Unrecognized basis difference of $2,410,000 is reflected as a reduction of our investment in unconsolidated ventures at second quarter-end 2013.


^(d)	Our investment in other ventures reflects our ownership interests generally ranging from 25 to 50 percent, excluding venture losses that exceed our investment where we are not obligated to fund those losses. Please read Note 16 — Variable Interest Entities for additional information.

In first six months 2013, we invested $782,000 in these ventures and received $1,580,000 in distributions, and in first six months 2012, we invested $1,430,000 in these ventures and received $1,092,000 in distributions. Distributions include both return of investments and distributions of earnings.

We have provided performance bonds and letters of credit on behalf of certain ventures that could be drawn on due to failure to satisfy construction obligations as general contractor or for failure to timely deliver streets and utilities in accordance with local codes and ordinances. At second quarter-end 2013, we have $26,630,000 outstanding, of which $26,577,000 is related to the development and construction of a 257-unit multifamily property in Austin estimated to be completed in May 2014.

Our debt agreements contain financial covenants customary for such agreements including minimum levels of interest coverage and limitations on leverage. At second quarter-end 2013, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of these agreements.

At second quarter-end 2013, our senior secured credit facility provides for a $200,000,000 term loan maturing September 14, 2017 and a $200,000,000 revolving line of credit maturing September 14, 2015 (with one-year extension option). The term loan and the revolving line of credit may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The revolving line of credit includes a $100,000,000 sublimit for letters of credit, of which $3,064,000 is outstanding at second quarter-end 2013. Total borrowings under our senior secured credit facility (including the face amount of letters of credit) may not exceed a borrowing base formula. At second quarter-end 2013, we had $196,936,000 in net unused borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility.

Under the terms of our senior secured credit facility, at our option we can borrow at LIBOR plus 4.0 percent or at the alternate base rate plus 3.0 percent. The alternate base rate is the highest of (i) KeyBank National Association’s base rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5 percent or (iii) 30 day LIBOR plus 1 percent. Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility are or may be secured by (a) mortgages on the timberland, high value timberland and portions of raw entitled land, as well as pledges of other rights including certain oil and gas operating properties, (b) assignments of current and future leases, rents and contracts, (c) a security interest in our primary operating account, (d) a pledge of the equity interests in current and future material operating subsidiaries or majority-owned joint venture interest, or if such pledge is not permitted, a pledge of the right to distributions from such entities, (e) a pledge of reimbursements, hotel occupancy and other revenues payable to us from special improvement district tax collections in connection with our Cibolo Canyons project, and (f) a negative pledge (without a mortgage) on other assets. The senior secured credit facility provides for releases of real estate and other collateral provided that borrowing base compliance is maintained.

On February 26, 2013, we issued $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (Notes). Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually at a rate of 3.75 percent per annum and they mature on March 1, 2020. The Notes have an initial conversion rate of 40.8351 per $1,000 principal amount. The initial conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. Prior to November 1, 2019, the Notes are convertible only upon certain circumstances, and thereafter are convertible at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day prior to maturity. If converted, holders will receive cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof at our election. Net proceeds from the offering were used to repay $68,000,000 under our revolving line of credit, and we intend to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including investments in oil and gas exploration and drilling and real estate acquisition and development.

We separately account for the liability and equity conversion components of the Notes due to our option to settle the conversion obligation in cash, shares or a combination thereof at our election. The fair value of the Notes excluding the conversion feature at the date of issuance was estimated to be approximately $97,309,000 and was calculated based on the fair value of similar non-convertible debt instruments. The resulting value of the conversion option of $27,691,000 was recognized as debt discount and recorded as additional paid-in capital on our consolidated balance sheet. The effective interest rate to

Table of Contents

calculate the accretion of the bond discount is 8 percent and is based on our estimated (non-convertible) borrowing rate on long-term debt with a similar maturity at the time the Notes were issued. Interest expense includes the cash coupon rate on the Notes plus the non-cash accretion of the debt discount, which is based on the difference between the effective interest rate and the cash coupon rate. Amortization of debt discount was $1,044,000 in first six months 2013 and is included in interest expense. At second quarter-end 2013, unamortized debt discount of our Notes was $26,647,000. Total debt issuance costs were $4,205,000 (including underwriters discount of $3,750,000), of which $3,273,000 was allocated to the liability component and $932,000 to the equity component of the Notes. The portion of the issuance costs allocated to the debt component of the Notes is being amortized over the term of the Notes.

At second quarter-end 2013, secured promissory notes represent a $15,400,000 loan collateralized by a 413 guest room hotel located in Austin with a carrying value of $21,069,000. In first six months 2013, secured promissory notes decreased by $18,902,000 as result of selling of Promesa, a 289-unit multifamily property we developed in Austin, for $41,000,000. We received $21,522,000 in net proceeds and we recognized $10,881,000 in segment earnings.

At second quarter-end 2013, other indebtedness, principally non-recourse, is collateralized by entitled, developed and under development projects with a carrying value of $60,974,000.

At second quarter-end 2013 and year-end 2012, we have $8,359,000 and $6,508,000 in unamortized deferred financing fees which are included in other assets. Amortization of deferred financing fees was $1,534,000 in first six months 2013 and $1,441,000 in first six months 2012 and is included in interest expense.

Note 10—Fair Value

Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis principally include real estate assets, oil and gas properties, assets held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets, which are measured for impairment. In second quarter 2013 and 2012, no non-financial assets were remeasured at fair value.

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

Information about our fixed rate financial instruments not measured at fair value follows:

Note 11—Capital Stock

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

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

At second quarter-end 2013, personnel of former affiliates held options to purchase 855,000 shares of our common stock. The options have a weighted average exercise price of $24.09 and a weighted average remaining contractual term of three years. At second quarter-end 2013, the options have an aggregate intrinsic value of $908,000.

Anti-dilutive awards excluded from diluted weighted average shares	1,854			2,712			1,837			2,530

We intend to settle the principal amount of the convertible senior notes (Notes) in cash upon conversion, with any excess conversion value to be settled in shares of our common stock. Therefore, only the amount in excess of the par value of the Notes will be included in our calculation of diluted net income per share using the treasury stock method. As such, the Notes have no impact on diluted net income per share until the price of our common stock exceeds the conversion price of the Notes of $24.49. The average price of our common stock in second quarter and first six months 2013 did not exceed the conversion price which resulted in no additional diluted outstanding shares.

Note 13—Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 43 percent in second quarter 2013 and 32 percent in first six months 2013, which includes an 4 percent benefit for noncontrolling interests. Our effective tax rate was a benefit of 33 percent in second quarter 2012 and 32 percent in first six months 2012, which included a 3 percent benefit for noncontrolling interests. In addition, 2013 and 2012 effective tax rates include the effect of state income taxes, nondeductible items and benefits of percentage depletion.

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

At second quarter-end 2013, our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $6,326,000, all of which would affect our effective tax rate if recognized.

Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

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

Environmental

Environmental remediation liabilities arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business, and we believe we have established adequate reserves for any probable losses that we can reasonably estimate. We own 288 acres near Antioch, California, portions of which were sites of a former Temple-Inland paper manufacturing operation that are in remediation. We have received certificates of completion on all but one 80 acre tract, a portion of which includes subsurface contamination. We estimate the remaining cost to complete remediation activities will be approximately $1,293,000, which is included in other accrued expenses. It is possible that remediation or monitoring activities could be required in addition to those included within our estimate, but we are unable to determine the scope, timing or extent of such activities.

We have asset retirement obligations related to the abandonment and site restoration requirements that result from the acquisition, construction and development of oil and gas properties. We record the fair value of a liability for an asset

Table of Contents

retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Accretion expense related to the asset retirement obligation and depletion expense related to capitalized asset retirement cost is included in cost of oil and gas producing activities on our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. At second quarter-end 2013, our asset retirement obligation was $1,468,000, which is included in other liabilities.

Note 15—Segment Information

In first quarter 2013, we changed our reportable segments to better reflect the underlying market fundamentals and operating strategy of our core business operations, real estate and oil and gas. With this change, we aggregated our fiber and water resource operating results in other natural resources. All prior period segment information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

We manage our operations through three segments: real estate, oil and gas and other natural resources. Real estate secures entitlements and develops infrastructure on our lands for single-family residential and mixed-use communities, and manages our undeveloped land, commercial and income producing properties, primarily a hotel and our multifamily investments. Oil and gas manages our owned mineral interests and leased from others and is an independent oil and gas exploration, development and production operation. Other natural resources manages our timber, recreational leases and water resource initiatives.

Assets allocated by segment are as follows:

_________________________


^(a)	Assets not allocated to segments at second quarter-end 2013 principally consist of cash and cash equivalents of $69,138,000 and a net deferred tax asset of $43,809,000. Assets not allocated to segments at year-end 2012 principally consist of a net deferred tax asset of $54,748,000 and cash and cash equivalents of $10,361,000.

We evaluate performance based on segment earnings (loss) before unallocated items and income taxes. Segment earnings (loss) consist of operating income, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated ventures, gain on sales of assets, interest income on loans secured by real estate and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Items not allocated to our business segments consist of general and administrative expense, share-based compensation, gain on sale of strategic timberland, interest expense and other corporate non-operating income and expense. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the accounting policy note to the consolidated financial statements. Our revenues are derived from our U.S. operations and all of our assets are located in the U.S. In second quarter 2013, no single customer accounted for more than 10 percent of our total revenues.

Note 16—Variable Interest Entities

At second quarter-end 2013, we are the primary beneficiary of one variable interest entity (VIE) that we consolidate. At second quarter-end 2013, our consolidated balance sheet includes no assets and $1,342,000 in liabilities related to this VIE. In first six months 2013, there were no contributions to this VIE.

Also at second quarter-end 2013, we are not the primary beneficiary of three VIEs that we account for using the equity method. The unrelated managing partners oversee day-to-day operations and guarantee some of the debt of the VIEs, and while we have certain rights regarding major decisions, we do not have the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the economic performance of the entities. Although some of the debt is guaranteed by the managing partners, we may under certain circumstances elect or be required to provide additional funds to these VIEs. At second quarter-end 2013, these three VIEs have total assets of $11,187,000, substantially all of which represent developed and undeveloped real estate, and total liabilities of $44,414,000, which includes $27,868,000 of borrowings classified as current maturities. These amounts are included in other ventures in the combined summarized balance sheet information for ventures accounted for using the equity method in Note 7 — Investment in Unconsolidated Ventures. At second quarter-end 2013, our investment in these VIEs is $140,000 and is included in investment in unconsolidated ventures. In first six months 2013, we contributed $74,000 to these VIEs. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs is estimated at $3,764,000, which exceeds our investment as we have a nominal general partner interest in all of these VIEs and could be held responsible for their liabilities. The maximum exposure to loss represents the maximum loss that we could be required to recognize assuming all the ventures’ assets (principally real estate) are worthless, without consideration of the probability of a loss or of any actions we may take to mitigate any such loss.

	$	1,460	$	(67	)	$	11,875	$	5,164

In first six months 2013, share-based compensation expense increased principally as result of a 16 percent increase in our stock price since year-end 2012, compared to a 15 percent decrease in our stock price in first six months 2012 as compared to year-end 2011, which impacted the value of vested cash-settled awards.

The fair value of awards granted to retirement eligible employees and expensed at the date of grant was $590,000 in first six months 2013 and $595,000 in first six months 2012. Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested equity-settled awards, restricted stock and stock options is $10,950,000 at second quarter-end 2013. The weighted average period over which this amount will be recognized is estimated to be two years. We did not capitalize any share-based compensation in first six months 2013 or 2012.

In first six months 2013, we withheld 54,500 shares having a value of $1,027,000 for payroll taxes in connection with vesting of restricted stock awards and exercises of stock options. In first six months 2012, we withheld 71,100 shares having a value of $1,151,000 for payroll taxes in connection with vesting of restricted stock awards and exercises of stock options.

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

Cash-settled awards

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

The following table summarizes the activity of cash-settled restricted stock unit awards in first six months 2013:

The fair value of awards settled in cash was $6,694,000 in first six months 2013 and $4,710,000 in first six months 2012. At second quarter-end 2013, the fair value of vested cash-settled awards is $15,181,000 and is included in other liabilities. The aggregate current value of non-vested cash-settled awards is $4,874,000 at second quarter-end 2013 based on a quarter-end stock price of $20.06.

Equity-settled awards

Equity-settled awards granted to our employees include restricted stock units (RSU), which vest ratably over three years from the date of grant, market-leveraged stock units (MSU), which vest after three years from date of grant and performance stock units (PSU), which vest after approximately three years from date of grant if certain performance goals are met. Equity settled awards in the form of restricted stock units granted to our directors are fully vested at time of grant and issued upon retirement. The following table summarizes the activity of equity-settled awards in first six months 2013:



	Equivalent Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
	(In thousands)		(Per share)
Non-vested at beginning of period	409		$	18.99
Granted	254		19.38
Vested	(66	)	16.39
Forfeited	(8	)	17.34
Non-vested at end of period	589		19.47

In first six months 2013, we granted 136,000 MSU awards. These awards will be settled in common stock based upon our stock price performance over three years from the date of grant. The number of shares to be issued could range from a high of 204,000 shares if our stock price increases by 50 percent or more, to a low of 68,000 shares if our stock price decreases by 50 percent, or could be zero if our stock price decreases by more than 50 percent, the minimum threshold performance. MSU awards are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model, which includes expected stock price volatility and risk-free interest rate assumptions. Compensation expense is recognized regardless of achievement of performance conditions, provided the requisite service period is satisfied.

Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested equity-settled awards is $6,090,000 at second quarter-end 2013. The weighted average period over which this amount will be recognized is estimated to be two years.

Restricted stock

Restricted stock awards vest either ratably over or after three years, generally if we achieve a minimum one percent annualized return on assets over such three-year period. The following table summarizes the activity of restricted stock awards in first six months 2013:



	Restricted Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
	(In thousands)		(Per share)
Non-vested at beginning of period	211		$	16.95
Granted	—		—
Vested	(162	)	17.80
Forfeited	—		—
Non-vested at end of period	49		14.18

Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards is $181,000 at second quarter-end 2013. The weighted average period over which this amount will be recognized is estimated to be two years.

Stock options

Stock options have a ten-year term, generally become exercisable ratably over four years and provide for accelerated or continued vesting upon retirement, death, disability or if there is a change in control. Options were granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of our stock on the date of grant. The following table summarizes the activity of stock option awards in first six months 2013:



	Options Outstanding		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (Current Value Less Exercise Price)
	(In thousands)		(Per share)		(In years)	(In thousands)
Balance at beginning of period	1,756		$	20.53	7	$	1,956

Forfeited	(28	)	26.62
Balance at end of period	2,028		20.27		7	4,762
Exercisable at end of period	1,137		22.38		6	2,556

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



	First Six Months
	2013			2012
Expected dividend yield	—		%	—		%
Expected stock price volatility	66.8		%	61.8		%
Risk-free interest rate	1.4		%	1.4		%
Expected life of options (years)	6			6
Weighted average estimated fair value of options granted	$	11.47		$	9.32

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

Table of Contents

Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options is $4,679,000 at second quarter-end 2013. The weighted average period over which this amount will be recognized is estimated to be three years.

Pre-Spin Awards

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

Pre-Spin stock option awards to our employees to purchase our common stock have a ten-year term, generally become exercisable ratably over four years and provide for accelerated or continued vesting upon retirement, death, disability or if there is a change in control. At second quarter-end 2013, there were 62,000 awards outstanding and exercisable on our stock with a weighted average exercise price of $25.77, weighted average remaining term of three years and aggregate intrinsic value of $34,000.

•	Growing through strategic and disciplined investments.

2012 Strategic Initiatives

In 2012, we announced Triple in FOR, new strategic initiatives designed to further enhance shareholder value by:


•	Accelerating value realization of our real estate and natural resources by increasing total residential lot sales, oil and gas production, and total segment EBITDA.


•	Optimizing transparency and disclosure by expanding reported oil and gas resources, providing additional information related to groundwater interests, and establishing a progress report on corporate responsibility efforts.


•	Raising our net asset value through strategic and disciplined investments by pursuing growth opportunities which help prove up our asset value and meet return expectations, developing a low-capital, high-return multifamily business, and accelerating investment in lower-risk oil and gas opportunities.

Significant aspects of our results of operations follow:

Second Quarter and First Six Months 2013

•

Second quarter 2013 real estate segment earnings increased primarily due to higher average prices for lots and commercial acres sold offset by lower lot sales volume and commercial acres sold in second quarter 2013 as compared with second quarter 2012. In addition, second quarter 2013 real estate segment earnings increased primarily due to sale of the remaining 440 undeveloped residential acres from a project in Florida for $3,536,000, which generated approximately $687,000 in segment earnings. First six months 2013 real estate segment earnings benefited from sale of Promesa, a 289-unit multifamily property we developed and sold in Austin, for $41,000,000, which generated approximately $10,881,000 in segment earnings. In addition, first six months 2013 segment earnings also benefited from increased residential lot sales activity, undeveloped land sales from our retail program and commercial tract sales.

•

Oil and gas segment earnings decreased principally due to lower oil and gas production volumes and lower average oil prices and reduced delay rental payments received related to royalties from our owned mineral interests. This decrease was partially offset by higher working interest production volume and earnings attributable to our exploration and production operations as result of our acquisition of Credo in third quarter 2012.


•	Other natural resources segment earnings benefited from higher levels of timber harvesting activity which was driven by increased customer demand.


•	Share-based compensation expense increased principally as result of a 16 percent increase in our stock price since year-end 2012, compared to a 15 percent decrease in our stock price in first six months 2012, which impacted the value of vested cash-settled awards.

Second Quarter and First Six Months 2012


•	Second quarter 2012 real estate segment earnings benefited principally from $3,401,000 gain from a consolidated venture's sale of 800 acres near Dallas and increased residential lot and commercial sales. First six

Table of Contents

months 2012 real estate segment earnings benefited principally from $11,675,000 gain from the sale of our 25 percent interest in Palisades West LLC for $32,095,000 and increased residential lot and commercial sales. These items are partially offset by decreased retail land sales volume.


•	Oil and gas segment earnings benefited from increased oil production volumes which was partially offset by decreased lease bonus activity and increased costs from additional personnel.


•	Second quarter and first six months 2012 general and administrative expense includes $2,461,000 in transaction costs to outside advisors related to entering into a definitive agreement to acquire Credo.


•	Second quarter 2012 share-based compensation expense related to cash-settled awards decreased as result of a decline in our stock price and the impact on vested cash-settled awards. In first six months 2012, the decline in our stock price and the impact on vested cash-settled awards was offset by expenses related to equity-settled awards granted in first quarter 2012.

Current Market Conditions

U.S. single-family residential market conditions continued to improve in first six months 2013, driven by a growing demand for homes and a tightening supply of homes available for sale. Housing demand has been fueled primarily by high housing affordability, largely due to relatively low mortgage rates, and increased consumer confidence. Inventories of unsold homes are at historically low levels in many areas. In addition, declining finished lot inventories and supply of developable raw land is increasing demand for our developed lots, principally in the major markets of Texas. However, persistently high unemployment levels, national and global economic weakness and uncertainty, a restrictive mortgage lending environment and the potential for more foreclosures continue to threaten a recovery in the housing market. Multifamily market conditions continue to be strong, with many markets experiencing healthy occupancy levels and positive rent growth. This improvement has been driven primarily by limited new construction activity, reduced single-family mortgage credit availability, and the increased propensity to rent among the 18 to 34 year old demographic of the U.S. population.

Oil prices have continued to strengthen over the last several months and generally have been stronger over the last two and one-half years. Natural gas prices are up over 50 percent from year ago levels, but are significantly lower than realized prices over the last decade. The prolonged cold weather throughout the 2012 - 2013 heating season has taken working gas in storage below the midpoint of the five year average causing natural gas prices to recover from their lows of a year ago. Exploration and development activity continues to be oil focused due to the premium price of oil over natural gas when comparing energy equivalency and due to the U.S. being net importers of crude oil while current estimates of domestic natural gas producing supplies are sufficient.

Business Segments

We manage our operations through three business segments:


•	Real estate,


•	Oil and gas, and


•	Other natural resources.

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

Real Estate

We own directly or through ventures over 133,000 acres of real estate located in ten states and 14 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 100,000 acres in a broad area around Atlanta, Georgia, with the balance located primarily in Texas. We target investments principally in our strategic growth corridors, regions across the southern half of the United States that possess key demographic and growth characteristics that we believe make them attractive for long-term real estate

Table of Contents

investment. We own and manage our projects either directly or through ventures. Our real estate segment revenues are principally derived from the sales of residential single-family lots and tracts, undeveloped land and commercial real estate and from the operation of commercial and income producing properties, primarily a hotel at second quarter-end 2013, and multifamily properties we may develop and sell as a merchant builder.

A summary of our real estate results follows:

Segment earnings	$	8,104		$	7,666		$	27,550		$	19,243

In first six months 2013, cost of sales includes $29,707,000 in carrying value related to Promesa, a 289-unit multifamily property we developed as a merchant builder and sold. In addition, in second quarter and first six months 2013, cost of sales include $11,460,000 and $17,606,000 related to multifamily construction contract costs we incurred as general contractor and paid to subcontractors associated with our development of two multifamily venture properties. Interest income principally represents earnings from a loan we hold which is secured by a mixed-use real estate community in Houston.

In second quarter and first six months 2012, gain on sale of assets includes $3,401,000 from a consolidated venture’s sale of 800 acres near Dallas. In addition, in first six months 2012, gain on sale of assets includes $11,675,000 from the sale of our 25 percent interest in Palisades West LLC for $32,095,000.

Revenues in our owned and consolidated ventures consist of:



	Second Quarter				First Six Months
	2013		2012		2013		2012
	(In thousands)
Residential real estate	$	18,348	$	14,830	$	37,450	$	23,328

Total revenues	$	41,219	$	26,647	$	119,908	$	44,569

Residential real estate revenues principally consist of the sale of single-family lots to national, regional and local homebuilders. Although lot sales volume decreased in second quarter 2013 compared with second quarter 2012, revenues were up due to higher average price per lot sold. In addition, we sold the remaining 440 undeveloped residential tract acres from a project in Florida for $3,536,000. In first six months 2013, residential real estate revenues increased principally as a result of increased lot sales volume due to demand for finished lot inventory by homebuilders in markets where supply has diminished.

Market conditions for undeveloped land sales under our retail sales program remain challenging due to limited credit availability, and alternate investment options to buyers in the market. However, in first six months 2013, undeveloped land sales increased as compared to first six months 2012. We sold 1,919 acres for $5,287,000 or approximately $2,800 per acre, generating approximately $4,118,000 in segment earnings.

In first six months 2013, commercial and income producing properties revenue increased primarily as result of selling Promesa, a 289-unit multifamily property in Austin which we developed as a merchant builder and operated until the sale. As a result, we recognized segment earnings of $10,881,000 related to this sale, for $41,000,000. In addition, income producing

Table of Contents

properties revenue increased as a result of construction revenues of $17,606,000 associated with our multifamily guaranteed maximum price construction contracts as general contractor. We are reimbursed for costs paid to subcontractors plus earn a development and construction fee on certain projects, both of which are included in income producing properties revenue. In second quarter 2013, we entered into a $27,900,000 maximum price construction contract with a third-party general contractor for construction of a 354-unit multifamily property near Dallas. Construction on this multifamily development site began in June 2013. Following second quarter-end 2013, we obtained a senior secured construction loan in the amount of $24,357,000 to finance approximately 70 percent of the total development cost. Revenues also increased as a result of higher revenue per available room from our 413 guest room hotel in Austin compared with first six months 2012.

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

Oil and Gas

Our oil and gas segment is focused on the exploration, development and production of oil and gas on our mineral and leasehold interests.

We lease portions of our 590,000 owned net mineral acres located principally in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama to other oil and gas companies in return for a lease bonus, delay rentals, a royalty interest, and we may negotiate an option to participate in oil and gas exploration and development or we may elect to drill on our acreage ourselves as an operator. At second quarter-end 2013, we have about 30,000 net acres under lease to others that have expiration dates and about 36,000 net acres leased that are held by production related to our owned mineral interests.

In addition, we have approximately 218,000 net mineral acres leased from others principally located in Nebraska and Kansas primarily targeting the Lansing-Kansas City formation, in the Texas Panhandle primarily targeting the Tonkawa and Cleveland formations, and in North Dakota primarily targeting the Bakken and Three Forks formations. With the acquisition of Credo in third quarter 2012, we are now an independent oil and gas exploration, development and production company. Our leasehold interests include 33,000 net acres held by production and 440 gross oil and gas wells with working interest ownership, of which 149 are operated by us. These leasehold interests include about 7,000 net mineral acres in North Dakota currently focused on the Bakken and Three Forks formations.

Drilling and Other Exploration and Development Activities

In first six months 2013, we participated in approximately 18 gross Bakken or Three Forks wells (in which we own an approximate 5 percent average working interest) in North Dakota with ten wells in a producing status and eight wells in the completion stage. We anticipate drilling activity in the Bakken and Three Forks formations to accelerate in the second half of 2013. In addition, in first six months 2013, we participated in 36 gross wells in Nebraska and Kansas (in which we own an approximate 59 percent average working interest) and operated 25 of these wells. In first six months 2013, we participated in a total of 39 new gross wells, of which 31 were productive and eight in North Dakota were in the completion stage at second quarter-end 2013. At second quarter-end 2013, there were 983 gross productive wells of which 543 were operated by others on our owned mineral acres and 440 gross wells were attributable to our exploration and production operations, of which 149 were operated by us.

In first six months 2013, we acquired leasehold interests in over 55,000 net mineral acres in new and existing projects, principally in Nebraska and Kansas. Also, leasehold interests of approximately 10,300 net mineral acres expired in first six months 2013.

For the full year 2013, we plan to drill or participate as a non-operator in approximately 178 gross wells (58 net). Regional allocation of our capital expenditures incurred for drilling and completion activity in first six months 2013 as compared to our 2013 annual drilling and completion capital expenditure budget is shown below:



	Drilling and Completion Expenditures
	First Six Months		Annual Budget
	2013		2013
	(In thousands)
Bakken and Three Forks formations of North Dakota	$	12,580	$	43,700
Lansing - Kansas City formation of Nebraska and Kansas	6,569		14,500
Other formations principally in Texas and Oklahoma	4,558		14,300
	$	23,707	$	72,500

Our 2013 capital expenditure budget is subject to various conditions, including third-party operator drilling plans, oilfield services and equipment availability, commodity price fluctuations and drilling results. Although a portion of our capital expenditure budget is allocated to acquiring additional leasehold interests, if we decide to pursue significant leasehold acquisitions that were not contemplated during our capital budgeting process, it may require us to adjust our budget. Other factors that could cause us to adjust our budget include commodity prices fluctuations, service or material costs, opportunities, changes in conditions, or the performance of wells. We will continue to assess the natural gas and oil price environment along with our liquidity position and may increase or decrease our capital expenditure budget for exploration, development, or acquisition opportunities accordingly.

In February 2013, we issued $125,000,000 in convertible notes due 2020. Net proceeds from the offering were used to repay $68,000,000 under our revolving line of credit, and we intend to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including investments in oil and gas exploration, development, and acquisition activities, and real estate acquisition and development. Going forward, we anticipate funding most of our capital requirements for our exploration and development

activities, excluding any significant oil and gas property acquisitions, with cash generated from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We budget these capital and exploration expenditures annually based on our current expectation for future commodity prices and projected cash flows for the year.

_________________________


^(a)	Oil production includes revenues from oil, condensate and natural gas liquids (NGLs).

In second quarter 2013, excluding production revenues attributed to exploration and production operations from our acquisition of Credo, oil and gas production revenues decreased principally as a result of lower production volumes associated with royalties from our owned mineral interests. Decreased oil production volume negatively impacted revenues by $1,894,000 and decreased oil prices negatively impacted revenues by $571,000. Decreased natural gas production volume negatively impacted revenues by $191,000, offset by increased natural gas prices improving revenues by $204,000 as compared with second quarter 2012.

In first six months 2013, excluding production revenues attributed to exploration and production operations from our acquisition of Credo, oil and gas production revenues decreased principally as a result of lower production volumes associated with royalties from our owned mineral interests. Decreased oil production volume negatively impacted revenues by $3,650,000 and decreased oil prices negatively impacted revenues by $1,206,000. Natural gas production volume decreased which negatively impacted revenues by $395,000, offset by increased natural gas prices positively impacted revenues by $157,000 as compared with first six months 2012.

In first six months 2013, other revenues includes $464,000 in delay rental payments received from others associated with royalties from our owned mineral interests principally related to extending the lease term on approximately 1,500 net mineral acres. In first six months 2012, other revenues included $1,562,000 in delay rental payments received from others associated with royalties from our owned mineral interests principally related to extending the lease term on approximately 5,600 net mineral acres.

Other Natural Resources

Our other natural resources segment manages our timber holdings, recreational leases and water resource initiatives. We have about 119,000 real estate acres we own directly or through ventures, primarily in Georgia, with timber, and about 17,000 acres of timber under lease. Our other natural resources segment revenues are principally derived from the sales of wood fiber from our land and leases for recreational uses. We have water interests in approximately 1,550,000 acres, including a 45 percent nonparticipating royalty interest in groundwater produced or withdrawn for commercial purposes or sold from 1,400,000 acres in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama and approximately 20,000 acres of ground water leases in central Texas. We have not received significant revenue or earnings from these interests.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 43 percent in second quarter 2013 and 32 percent in first six months 2013, which includes a 4 percent benefit for noncontrolling interests. The increase in second quarter 2013 effective tax rate compared with first quarter 2013 effective tax rate of 28 percent is primarily due to a decrease in the benefit for noncontrolling interests. Our effective tax rate was 33 percent in second quarter 2012 and 32 percent in first six months 2012, which included a 3 percent benefit for noncontrolling interests. In addition, 2013 and 2012 effective tax rates include the effect of state income taxes, nondeductible items and benefits of percentage depletion.

We have not provided a valuation allowance for our federal deferred tax asset because we believe it is likely it will be recoverable in future periods based on considerations including taxable income in prior carryback years, future reversals of existing temporary differences, tax planning strategies and future taxable income. If these sources of income are not sufficient in future periods, we may be required to provide a valuation allowance for our federal deferred tax asset.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Sources and Uses of Cash

We operate in cyclical industries and our cash flows fluctuate accordingly. Our principal cash requirements are for the acquisition and development of real estate and investment in oil and gas leasing and exploration and production activities, 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 oil and gas and income producing properties, borrowings, and reimbursements from utility and improvement districts. Operating cash flows are affected by the timing of the payment of real estate development expenditures and the collection of proceeds from the eventual sale of the real estate, the timing of which can vary substantially depending on many factors including the size of the project, state and local permitting requirements and availability of utilities, and by the timing of oil and gas leasing and production activities. Working capital varies based on a variety of factors, including the timing of sales of real estate and timber, oil and gas leasing and production activities, collection of receivables, reimbursement from utility and improvement districts and the payment of payables and expenses.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

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

In first six months 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was $34,873,000 principally as result of selling Promesa, a 289-unit multifamily property we developed and sold for $41,000,000, generating net proceeds to us of $21,522,000. Real estate cost of sales, which include $29,707,000 in carrying value related to the sale of Promesa, exceeded expenditures for real estate development and acquisition expenditures, which includes the acquisition of one community development site in Nashville for $6,841,000. In first six months 2012, net cash (used for) operating activities was ($10,820,000) as expenditures for real estate development and acquisitions exceeded non-cash real estate cost of sales, principally as result of acquiring real estate assets from CL Realty and Temco for $47,000,000. Subsequent to closing of this acquisition, we received $23,370,000 from the ventures, representing our pro-rata share of distributable cash. Also, we invested an additional $14,341,000 in a 289-unit multifamily property currently under construction in Austin and we paid $10,895,000 in federal and state taxes, net of refunds. We received $24,294,000 in net proceeds from a consolidated venture's sale of 800 acres in Dallas and $10,934,000 in reimbursements from two new multifamily ventures which represents our venture partners' pro-rata share of the costs.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

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

In first six months 2013, net cash (used in) investing activities was ($35,065,000) principally due to our investment of $32,286,000 in oil and gas properties and equipment associated with our exploration and production operations. In addition, we invested $3,357,000 in property and equipment, software and reforestation of which $2,082,000 is related to capital expenditures on our 413 guest room hotel in Austin. In first six months 2012, net cash provided by investing activities was $27,796,000 principally due to proceeds from the sale of our 25 percent interest in Palisades West LLC for $32,095,000. In addition, we invested $2,264,000 in oil and natural gas properties and equipment associated with our non-operating working interests and $1,341,000 in property and equipment, software and reforestation and $694,000 in net contributions to unconsolidated ventures.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

In first six months 2013, net cash provided by financing activities was $58,969,000 principally due to net proceeds of $121,250,000 from the issuance of our 3.75% convertible senior notes partially offset by debt repayments of $93,390,000, of which $68,000,000 is related to payoff of debt outstanding under our revolving line of credit and $18,902,000 is related to paying off the loan associated with Promesa. We plan to use the remaining net proceeds from the issuance of our convertible senior notes for general corporate purposes, including investments in oil and gas exploration and drilling and real estate acquisition and development. In first six months 2012, net cash provided by financing activities was $10,215,000, primarily due to net increase in our borrowings of $11,347,000 to fund our development activities.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

At second quarter-end 2013, net unused borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility is calculated as follows:



	Senior Credit Facility
	(In thousands)
Borrowing base availability	$	400,000
Less: borrowings	(200,000		)
Less: letters of credit	(3,064		)
Unused borrowing capacity	$	196,936

Our unused borrowing capacity in second quarter 2013 ranged from a high of $196,936,000 to a low of $182,950,000. This facility is used primarily to fund our operating cash needs, which fluctuate due to timing of residential and commercial real estate sales, undeveloped land sales, oil and gas leasing and production activities and mineral lease bonus payments received, timber sales, reimbursements from utility and improvement districts, payment of payables and expenses and capital expenditures.

Our senior secured credit facility and other debt agreements contain financial covenants customary for such agreements including minimum levels of interest coverage and limitations on leverage. At second quarter-end 2013, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of these agreements.

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



	Requirement	Second Quarter-End 2013
Financial Covenant
Interest Coverage Ratio ^(a)	≥1.50:1.0	5.74:1.0
Revenues/Capital Expenditures Ratio ^(b)	≥1.00:1.0	3.32:1.0
Total Leverage Ratio ^(c)	≤40%	35.4	%
Net Worth ^(d)	> $451.9 million	$518.9 million
Collateral Value to Loan Commitment Ratio ^(e)	≥1.50:1.0	1.90:1.0

___________________________________


^(a)	Calculated as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization), plus non-cash compensation expense, plus other non-cash expenses, divided by interest expense excluding loan fees. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter on a rolling four quarter basis.

Capital expenditures are defined as consolidated development and acquisition expenditures plus our pro rata share of unconsolidated ventures’

Table of Contents

development and acquisition expenditures, and excludes investments related to Credo. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter on a rolling four quarter basis.

^(c)

Calculated as total funded debt divided by adjusted asset value. Total funded debt includes indebtedness for borrowed funds, secured liabilities, reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit or similar instruments, and our pro-rata share of joint venture debt outstanding. Adjusted asset value is defined as the sum of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, timberlands, high value timberlands, raw entitled lands, entitled land under development, minerals business, Credo asset value, special improvement district receipts (SIDR) reimbursements value, Cibolo Resort Special improvement district hotel occupancy tax (SIDHT) value and other real estate owned at book value without regard to any indebtedness and our pro rata share of joint ventures’ book value without regard to any indebtedness. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter.

^(d)

Calculated as the amount by which consolidated total assets (excluding Credo acquisition goodwill over $50,000,000) exceeds consolidated total liabilities. At second quarter-end 2013, the requirement is $451,893,000 computed as: $451,487,000 plus 85 percent of the aggregate net proceeds received by us from any equity offering, plus 75 percent of all positive net income, on a cumulative basis. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter.


^(e)	Calculated as the total collateral value of timberland, high value timberland and our minerals business, raw entitled land that is part of mortgaged property, Credo asset value, SIDR reimbursements value and Cibolo Resort SIDHT value divided by total aggregate loan commitment. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter.

To make additional investments, acquisitions, or distributions, we must maintain available liquidity equal to 10 percent of the aggregate commitments in place. At second quarter-end 2013, the minimum liquidity requirement was $40,000,000, compared with $262,305,000 in actual available liquidity based on the unused borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility plus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. The failure to maintain such minimum liquidity does not constitute a default or event of default of our senior secured credit facility. In addition, we may elect to make distributions so long as the total leverage ratio is less than 30 percent, the interest coverage is greater than 3.0:1.0, the revenues / capital expenditures ratio exceeds 1.5:1.0, and available liquidity is not less than $125,000,000. At second quarter-end 2013, our total leverage ratio exceeded 30 percent and as a result we are prohibited from making distributions until the above conditions are satisfied.

3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020

Net proceeds from the offering were used to repay $68,000,000 under our revolving line of credit, and we intend to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including investments in oil and gas exploration and drilling and real estate acquisition and development.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In 2012, CJUF III RH Holdings, an equity method venture in which we own a 25 percent interest, obtained a senior secured construction loan in the amount of $23,936,000 to develop a 257-unit multifamily property in downtown Austin. The outstanding balance at second quarter-end 2013 was $8,829,000. We have a construction completion guaranty, a repayment guaranty for 20 percent of the principal balance and unpaid accrued interest, and a standard non-recourse carve-out guaranty. The repayment guaranty will reduce from 20 percent to 0 percent upon achievement of certain conditions.

In 2012, FMF Peakview, an equity method venture in which we own a 20 percent interest, obtained a senior secured construction loan in the amount of $31,550,000 to develop a 304-unit multifamily property in Denver. The outstanding balance at second quarter-end 2013 was $4,752,000. We have a construction completion guaranty, a repayment guaranty for 25 percent of the principal and unpaid accrued interest, and a standard non-recourse carve-out guaranty.

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

In exchange for our commitment to the resort, the third party owners assigned to us certain rights under an agreement between the third party owners and a legislatively created Special Improvement District (SID). This agreement includes the right to receive from the SID 9 percent of hotel occupancy revenues and 1.5 percent of other resort sales revenues collected as taxes by the SID through 2034. The amount we receive will be net of annual ad valorem tax reimbursements by the SID to the third party owners of the resort through 2020. In addition, these payments will be net of debt service, if any, on bonds issued by the SID collateralized by hotel occupancy tax and other resort sales tax through 2034.

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

In second quarter 2013, we received $1,800,000 in reimbursements from the SID. Since inception, we have received $12,556,000 in reimbursements and have accounted for this as a reduction of our investment. At second quarter-end 2013, we have $30,717,000 invested in the resort development.

Mixed-Use Development

The mixed-use development we own consists of 2,100 acres planned to include approximately 1,475 residential lots and 150 commercial acres designated for multifamily and retail uses, of which 766 lots and 96 commercial acres have been sold through second quarter-end 2013.

In 2007, we entered into an agreement with the SID providing for reimbursement of certain infrastructure costs related to the mixed-use development. Reimbursements are subject to review and approval by the SID and unreimbursed amounts accrue interest at 9.75 percent. The SID’s funding for reimbursements is principally derived from its ad valorem tax collections and bond proceeds collateralized by ad valorem taxes, less debt service on these bonds and annual administrative and public service expenses.

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

Through second quarter-end 2013, we have submitted and received approval for reimbursement of approximately $57,322,000 of infrastructure costs and have received reimbursements totaling $23,070,000. In second quarter 2013, we did not receive any reimbursements from the SID. At second quarter-end 2013, we have $34,252,000 in approved and pending reimbursements, excluding interest. At second quarter-end 2013, we have $47,609,000 invested in the mixed-use development.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our interest rate risk is principally related to our variable-rate debt. Interest rate changes impact earnings due to the resulting increase or decrease in the cost of our variable-rate debt, which is $228,639,000 at second quarter-end 2013 and $290,074,000 at year-end 2012.

The following table illustrates the estimated effect on our pre-tax income of immediate, parallel, and sustained shifts in interest rates for the next 12 months on our variable-rate debt at second quarter-end 2013, with comparative year-end 2012 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.



Change in Interest Rates	Second Quarter-End 2013			Year-End 2012
	(In thousands)
+2%	$	(4,454	)	$	(5,801	)
+1%	(2,286		)	(2,901		)
-1%	2,286			2,901
-2%	4,573			5,697

Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Risk

We have no exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.

Commodity Price Risk

We have exposure to commodity price fluctuations which can materially affect our revenues and cash flows. To manage our exposure to commodity price risks associated with the sale of oil and gas, we may periodically enter into derivative hedging transactions for a portion of our estimated production. We do not have any commodity derivative positions outstanding at second quarter-end 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We completed the acquisition of CREDO Petroleum Corporation (Credo) in September 2012. Integration activities, including a preliminary assessment of internal controls over financial reporting, are currently in process. The initial annual assessment of internal controls over financing reporting for Credo will be conducted over the course of our 2013 assessment cycle.

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 disclosed in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
