ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (which is referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is primarily engaged in real estate, income properties, and golf operations (collectively, the “Real Estate Business”) through its wholly owned subsidiaries. Real estate operations include the ownership of approximately 11,000 acres of land in Daytona Beach, Florida, and the surrounding area. These operations include development, agricultural operations, and the ownership of 490,000 acres of subsurface acres in 20 counties in Florida, for leasing mineral rights for oil and mineral exploration. Income properties primarily consist of the ownership of twenty-five single tenant properties leased on a double and triple-net basis to national tenants, and two local office projects. These operations are predominantly located in Volusia County, Florida, with various income properties located in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. Golf operations consist of the operation of LPGA International which is comprised of two 18-hole championship golf courses with an additional three-hole practice academy, a clubhouse facility, and food and beverage activities, which are all leased from the City of Daytona Beach under a long-term lease.

The following is information regarding the Company’s business segments. The “General, Corporate, and Other” category includes general and administrative expenses, income earned on investment securities, and other miscellaneous income and expense items.

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS (Continued)

 

BUSINESS PLAN

Since 2000, we have transitioned from primarily a land company to a company balanced between income and land holdings. We plan to accelerate our ownership of broad income-producing real estate investments in diversified geographic locations.

Our business plan converts portions of our agricultural lands located in Daytona Beach into a geographically diverse portfolio of income properties utilizing income tax deferral under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. Our long-held lands are carried on our books at a very low tax basis, and as a result, qualifying real estate sales generate large taxable gains. The Section 1031 tax deferred exchange process allows us to postpone the related income taxes and reinvest 100% of the gross sales proceeds of qualifying sales into income properties. Our business plan is to utilize moderate company leverage, when appropriate, to accelerate our investment in income producing investments, which are at accretive spreads to our borrowing costs. This will enhance our Company’s income profile while keeping us cash flow positive with approximately half of our Company assets in lower-yielding agricultural lands.

REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS

LAND HOLDINGS. The Company owns over 11,000 acres of land in Daytona Beach, Florida along six miles of either side of I-95. Presently, the majority of this land is in agricultural use.

During 2011, the Company conducted an impairment analysis on approximately 300 acres of land, which had been reacquired in 2009 through the foreclosure process. This land was originally sold to MSKP Volusia Partners and was included in the LPGA DRI. The analysis resulted in an impairment charge of $2,606,412. The charge represents the entire cost basis of the property as management has decided to abandon the property due to the high carrying costs associated with these parcels, as they were subject to the Indigo Community Development District bond issue, relative to the current market environment for undeveloped land.

East of I-95-Cornerstone Office Park. The Company owns approximately 1,500 acres located east of Interstate 95, and develops some select sites. The Company holdings include two permitted office sites in the Cornerstone Office Park located within the 250-acre Gateway Business Center at the southeast quadrant of the Interstate 95 interchange at LPGA Boulevard. These two sites are permitted for a total of over 100,000 square feet of office space.

Gateway Business Center South. Development of Gateway Business Center South, a 250-acre industrial, warehouse, and distribution park located south of the Gateway Business Center South on the east side of Interstate 95 in Daytona Beach, commenced in 2004 with the first phase substantially completed prior to year-end 2004. Through December 2011, seven sales totaling approximately 70 acres have closed within the Gateway Commerce Park with approximately 350,000 square feet of industrial office space having been built. During early 2011, construction commenced on a 50,000 square-foot third party owned auto parts manufacturing facility on land formerly owned by the Company, which is projected for occupancy in the second quarter of 2012. Buildings owned by the Company include a two-building, 31,000 square-foot flex office space complex, which was self-developed by the Company to be held in its portfolio of income properties, known as Mason Commerce Center. During the second half of 2011, two new tenants took occupancy within the complex, including the State of Florida for 19,200 square feet. The addition of these tenants brings occupancy of the complex to 94%. Phase II of Mason Commerce Center is permitted for another two buildings, totaling approximately 31,000 square feet on five acres. Total build-out within Gateway Commerce Park, including expansions of existing buildings on the sold and developed parcels, may exceed 1,000,000 square feet.

Concierge Office Park. Development of a 12-acre, 4-lot commercial complex, located at the northeast corner of LPGA and Williamson Boulevards, commenced in 2007. This parcel includes a 22,000 square-foot

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS (Continued)

 

Company owned office building that was built in 2009 and is known as the Concierge office building. The office building was 75% occupied at year-end 2011, with Merrill Lynch occupying 7,930 square feet. The remaining land can accommodate approximately 40,000 square feet of additional office space.

Agricultural Operations. The Company’s agricultural lands encompass approximately 9,700 acres on the west side of Daytona Beach, Florida. Management believes the geographic location of this tract is well situated for future development. We are currently operating this land for timber and hay. In addition to access by major highways (Interstate 95, Interstate 4, State Road 40, and International Speedway Boulevard), the internal road system for forestry and other agricultural purposes is good.

Subsurface Interests. The Company owns full or fractional subsurface oil, gas, and mineral interests in approximately 490,000 subsurface acres of land owned by others in various parts of Florida. The Company leases its interests to mineral exploration firms when such firms deem exploration to be financially feasible. In September 2011, the Company received a $913,657 first year lease payment on an eight-year oil exploration lease covering approximately 136,000 net mineral acres primarily in Lee and Hendry Counties. An additional $922,000, representing the guaranteed second year’s lease payment, is being held in escrow. There is no assurance that the Company will receive payments beyond what has been escrowed. The Company also receives oil royalties from operating oil wells on 800 acres under a separate lease with a separate operator.

At December 31, 2011, there were two producing oil wells on 800 acres of the Company’s royalty land. Volume in 2011 was 104,211 barrels and volume in 2010 was 71,693 barrels from these two producing wells. The Company received oil royalties of $222,034 in 2011 and $178,891 in 2010. Production in barrels for prior recent years was: 2009—95,882; 2008—74,876; 2007—103,899; and 2006—105,553.

The Company’s current policy is to not release any ownership rights with respect to its reserved mineral rights. The Company may release surface entry rights or other rights upon request of a surface owner who requires such a release for a negotiated release price based on a percentage of the surface value. In connection with any release, the Company charges a minimum administrative fee.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to a number of significant risks. The risks described below may not be the only risks which potentially could impact our business. These additional risks include those which are unknown at this time or that are currently considered immaterial. If any of the circumstances described below actually occur to a significant degree, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our common stock could decline.

A prolonged downturn in economic conditions, especially in Daytona Beach, Florida, could continue to adversely impact our business. The collapse of the housing market, together with the crisis in the credit markets, resulted in a recession in the national economy with rising unemployment, shrinking gross domestic product, and drastically reduced consumer spending. At such times, potential customers often defer or avoid real estate purchases due to the substantial costs involved. The real estate industry is particularly vulnerable to shifts in local, regional, and national economic conditions outside of our control, such as short and long-term interest rates, housing demand, population growth, and employment levels and job growth. Our business is especially sensitive to economic conditions in Daytona Beach, Florida, where most of our real estate and self-developed properties are located. Florida has continued to experience weak economic conditions and could take longer to recover than the rest of the nation. A prolonged economic downturn could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our future success will depend upon our ability to successfully execute acquisition or development strategies. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue to implement our strategy of investing in income properties successfully. Additionally, there is no assurance that the income property portfolio will expand at all, or if it will expand at any specified rate or to any specified size. If we invest in geographic markets other than the ones in which currently owned properties are located, we will be subject to risks associated with investment in new markets that may be relatively unfamiliar to us. In addition, development activities are subject to risks relating to the availability and timely receipt of zoning and other regulatory approvals, the cost and timely completion of construction (including risks from factors beyond our control, such as weather, labor conditions, or material shortages), and the ability to obtain both construction and permanent financing on favorable terms. These risks could result in substantial unanticipated delays or expenses and, under certain circumstances, could prevent completion of development activities once undertaken or provide a tenant the opportunity to terminate a lease. Any of these situations may delay or eliminate proceeds or cash flows expected from these projects, which could have an adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our operations could be negatively impacted by the loss of key management personnel. Our future success depends, to a significant degree, on the efforts of each member of senior management. Replacement of any member of senior management could adversely affect our operations and our ability to execute business strategies. We do not have key man life insurance policies on members of senior management.

Further declines in real estate values could result in impairment write-downs. Further declines in the real estate market could result in future impairments (as defined by FASB authoritative accounting guidance) to certain of our properties. The value of our properties depends on market conditions, including estimates of future demand for, and the revenues that can be generated from, such properties. The downturn in the real estate market has caused the fair value of certain of our properties to fall. Because of our assessments of fair value, we have

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS (Continued)

 

written down the carrying value of certain of our properties, and taken corresponding non-cash charges against our earnings to reflect the impaired value. If the real estate market declines further, we may need to take charges against our earnings for impairments. Any such non-cash charges could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Land use and environmental regulations could restrict, make more costly, or otherwise adversely impact our business. We are subject to a wide variety of federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to land use and development and to environmental compliance and permitting obligations. Any failure to comply with these laws could result in capital or operating expenditures or the imposition of severe penalties or restrictions on operations that could adversely effect present and future operations. Municipalities may restrict or place moratoriums on the availability of utilities, such as water and sewer taps. Additionally, development moratoriums may be imposed due to over capacity traffic on roads. In some areas, municipalities may enact growth control initiatives, which will restrict the number of building permits available in a given year. If municipalities in which we own land and operate take actions like these, it could have an adverse effect by causing delays, increasing costs, or limiting the ability to operate in those municipalities.

Most of our property is located in a highly competitive real estate market, which could adversely impact our business. Our competitors are primarily other landowners in the Daytona Beach area. These competitive conditions can make it difficult to engage in real estate transactions on acceptable terms and can adversely affect operations, financial condition, or results of operations.

Our quarterly results are subject to variability. We have historically derived a substantial portion of our income from real estate transactions. The timing of commercial real estate transactions activity is not predictable and is generally subject to the purchaser’s ability to obtain acceptable financing and approvals from local municipalities and regulatory agencies for the intended use of the land on a timely basis. As these approvals are subject to third party responses, it is not uncommon for delays to occur, which affect the timing of transaction closings. These timing issues have caused, and may continue to cause, our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.

The loss of revenues from major income property tenants would adversely impact cash flow. Our two largest income property tenants—CVS and Walgreen—each accounted for in excess of 23% of consolidated revenues individually and in the aggregate approximately 51% of consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011. The default, financial distress, or bankruptcy of one or both of these tenants could cause substantial vacancies among our income properties. Vacancies reduce revenues until the affected properties can be re-leased and could decrease the value of each such vacant property. Upon the expiration of the leases that are currently in place, we may not be able to re-lease a vacant property at a comparable lease rate or without incurring additional expenditures in connection with such re-leasing. If, following the loss of an income property tenant, we are unable to re-lease the income property at comparable rental rates and in a timely manner, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

We are subject to a number of risks inherent in the ownership of income properties. Factors beyond our control can affect the performance and value of our income properties. Changes in national, regional, and local economic and market conditions may affect the performance of the income properties and their value. Local real estate market conditions may include excess supply and intense competition for tenants, including competition based on rental rates, attractiveness and location of the property and quality of maintenance, insurance, and management services. In addition, the performance and value of the income properties can be impacted by changes in laws and governmental regulations, changes in interest rates, and the availability of financing. In addition, because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, the ability to adjust the portfolio of income properties promptly in response to economic or other conditions is limited. Certain significant expenditures generally do not change in response to economic or other conditions, including debt service, real estate taxes, and operating and maintenance costs.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS (Continued)

 

Our operations and properties in Florida could be adversely affected in the event of a hurricane, natural disaster, or other significant disruption. Our corporate headquarters and most of our properties are located in Florida, where major hurricanes have occurred. Depending on where any particular hurricane makes landfall, our properties in Florida could experience significant damage. In addition, the occurrence and frequency of hurricanes in Florida could also negatively impact demand for our real estate products because of consumer perceptions of hurricane risks. In addition to hurricanes, the occurrence of other natural disasters and climate conditions in Florida, such as tornadoes, floods, fires, unusually heavy or prolonged rain, droughts and heat waves, could have am adverse effect on our ability to develop properties or realize income from our properties. If a hurricane, natural disaster or other significant disruption occurs, we may experience disruptions to our operations and properties, which could have an adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.

Competition and market conditions relating to golf operations could adversely affect our operating results. Golf operations face competition from similar nearby golf operations. Any new competitive golf operations that are developed close to our existing golf operations also may adversely impact results of operations. Golf operations are also subject to adverse market conditions, such as population trends and changing demographics, any of which could adversely affect results of operations. In addition, the golf operations may suffer if the economy weakens, if the popularity of golf decreases, or if unusual weather conditions or other factors cause a reduction in rounds played. Our golf operations are seasonal, primarily due to the impact of the winter tourist season and Florida summer heat and rain.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Land holdings of the Company and its affiliates, which are primarily located in Florida, include: approximately 11,000 acres (including commercial/retail sites) in the Daytona Beach area of Volusia County; approximately 1 acre in Highlands County; retail buildings located on 74 acres throughout Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina, two self-developed multi-tenant buildings located on 12 acres in Daytona Beach, Florida; and full or fractional subsurface oil, gas, and mineral interests in approximately 490,000 “surface acres” in 20 Florida counties. The conversion and subsequent utilization of these assets provides the base of the Company’s operations.

The lands not currently being developed, including those on which development approvals have been received, are involved in active agricultural operations. These lands straddle Interstate 95 for 6.5 miles between International Speedway Boulevard (U. S. Highway 92) and State Road 40, with approximately 9,700 acres west and 1,500 acres east of the interstate.

Subsidiaries of the Company are holders of the developed Volusia County properties and are involved in the development of additional lands zoned for commercial or industrial purposes.

The Company also owns and operates properties for leasing. These properties are discussed under “Item 1. Business-Income Properties” above.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In December 2008, Wintergreen Advisers, LLC (“Wintergreen”), a Delaware limited liability company and the largest shareholder of the Company, filed a Verified Application for Court Ordered Inspection of the Company’s business records in the Circuit Court for the Seventh Judicial Circuit for Volusia County, Florida.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (Continued)

 

Following a hearing on this matter, the trial court entered a Final Order Partially Granting and Partially Denying Wintergreen’s Verified Application in May 2010. Wintergreen subsequently appealed this matter to Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal, which affirmed the trial court’s decision and in January 2012 denied a motion for rehearing. On March 2, 2012, the Company and Wintergreen reached a resolution and the Company considers this matter to be concluded.

In September 2010, St. Johns River Water Management District (the “District”) served the Company with an administrative complaint in connection with certain Company agricultural operations. The complaint alleges that the Company constructed and operated a surface water management system without the proper permit. The Company disagreed with the District’s assertions in the complaint and requested an administrative hearing originally scheduled for late March 2011, which was subsequently rescheduled for July 2011. Due to proposed legislation involving the agricultural exemption, the parties agreed to place this matter in abeyance. The legislation, which passed and was made effective July 1, 2011, clarifies the application of the agricultural exemption to certain agricultural activities. It also provided that, in the event of a dispute between the District and a landowner as to whether the agricultural exemption is applicable to particular activities, either party could request a binding determination by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (“DACS”). Since the new law was applicable retroactively, the case continued in abeyance until the facts of the case could be assessed in context with the new law. The District has since elected to have a determination made by DACS and made its request for a binding determination on January 31, 2012. The parties were required to file a status report with the Court on February 17, 2012. On February 16, 2012, the parties filed a joint motion for extension of abeyance, which was granted on February 17, 2012. The parties are to confer and advise the court of the status of this matter no later than May 15, 2012. While it is too early to evaluate a potential outcome, the Company does not believe the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net income or financial condition.

On November 21, 2011, the Company (and its affiliates, Indigo Mallard Creek LLC and Indigo Development LLC) was served with pleadings for a highway condemnation action for the Harris Teeter income property located in Charlotte, North Carolina. As a result of the proposed road modifications, an all-access intersection with a traffic signal at Mallard Creek Road will be modified to a right-in/right-out only access. Harris Teeter, as the tenant under the lease for this property, recently notified the Company that it believes the loss of the all-access intersection materially adversely affects its business at this location. According to Harris Teeter’s interpretation of the lease, this allows it the right to terminate the lease, which it anticipates would occur immediately preceding construction commencement (which Harris Teeter estimates to be approximately July 31, 2012). The Company does not agree with Harris Teeter’s position in this matter and has engaged North Carolina counsel to represent its interests in both the condemnation proceedings and the tenant matter.

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings, incidental to the normal course of our business. While the outcome of the legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

We are primarily engaged in real estate operations, which include agriculture and development, as well as golf course operations. We own approximately 11,300 acres in Florida, net of the approximate 272 acres we have written off as described below, of which approximately 9,700 are located within and form a substantial portion of the western boundary of the City of Daytona Beach. Our lands are well-located in central Florida’s Interstate 4 corridor, providing an opportunity for reasonably stable growth in future years.

Until the dramatic downturn in the national and local economies in 2008, activity on Company owned lands had been strong over the preceding several years. During 2009, land transactions were minimal with no activity occurring in 2010 or 2011. Over the last several years, roads and interstate overpasses, which benefit Company owned land, have been constructed, extended, or improved.

Historical sales and profits are not indicative of future results because of the unique nature of real estate transactions and variations in the cost basis of owned land. A significant portion of the Company’s profits in any given year may be generated through relatively large commercial real estate transactions. The process for these real estate transactions, from the time of preliminary discussions through contract negotiations, due diligence periods, and the closing, can last from several months to several years. The trend in Company profits in 2005 through 2011, in particular profits from real estate transactions during that period, followed the overall general trend of the national and local economies and the real estate markets. The residential real estate market reached its peak in late 2005 and early 2006, weakening thereafter with the market hampered by the overall economy and credit crisis. The local commercial real estate market lagged the residential market downturn by approximately two years.

We entered 2008 with a relatively strong contract backlog of real estate contracts. As the economy, real estate markets, and credit markets continued to slow, several of the contracts in place did not result in closings as buyers took a more conservative approach. Although there have been recent signals of improvement in the overall economy and credit markets, we do not expect a significant improvement of economic conditions, in particular the real estate market, during 2012. The Company does anticipate the possibility of a few select opportunities to generate real estate transactions in the near term.

As part of our strategy to prepare the Company for the potential upturn in the real estate market, two major land use initiatives were pursued: a major comprehensive land use plan change on approximately 3,000 acres of land west of I-95 and south of State Road 40 and a rescission of the 4,500-acre LPGA Development of Regional Impact Development Order. The comprehensive land use change, which was approved in late 2010, provides for significantly increased residential and commercial density on the land, which includes 2,539 residential units and 3.3 million square feet of commercial development. We expect that the rescission that was approved in June 2011 will relieve the Company of many regulatory requirements.

The Company has evaluated the carrying value of certain assets. In doing so, we have written off as an impairment charge the $2,606,412 cost basis of the 272-acre property within the LPGA development, due to recently rising assessments and carrying costs associated with these parcels relative to the current market environment.

In 2000, we initiated a strategy of investing in income properties utilizing the proceeds from real estate transactions qualifying for income tax deferral through like-kind exchange treatment for tax purposes. Through the end of 2011, we had invested approximately $120 million in twenty-six income properties through this process, one of which was sold at the end of the year.

The Lakeland, Florida property, formerly occupied by Barnes & Noble, was sold in the fourth quarter of 2011 at a price of $2,900,000. A profit approximating $147,000 was recognized on this transaction. Proceeds from this transaction are anticipated to be reinvested in an additional income producing property through the Section 1031 tax-deferred like-kind exchange process.

With the investment base in income properties, lease revenue of approximately $8.8 million is projected to be generated annually. This income, along with income from additional net-lease income property investments, is expected to continue to decrease earnings volatility in future years and add to overall financial performance. This has enabled us to enter into the business of building, leasing, and holding in our portfolio select income properties that are strategically located on our lands.

The lease on the Barnes & Noble store located on International Speedway Boulevard in Daytona Beach, Florida, was scheduled to expire at the end of January 2011, excluding option years. An amendment to the lease was executed in October 2010, which extended the lease term through January 31, 2015, at a current market lease rate.

In June 2011, the Company funded the acquisition of land and leasehold improvements approximating $1,600,000, for the expansion of our CVS store site located in Tallahassee, Florida, in exchange for a new twenty-five year triple-net lease term. On June 15, 2011, the investment was completed with rent increasing by approximately $130,000 a year.

The Company owns three RBC Centura Bank (“RBC”) retail banking sites in Florida and Georgia. In June 2011, RBC agreed to sell its U.S. retail banking unit to PNC Financial Services Group Inc. The Company does not expect the sale, which is scheduled to close in 2012, to have an immediate impact on these properties. During the fourth quarter of 2009, RBC closed its branch in Altamonte Springs, Florida. The tenant is obligated on the lease and continues to make lease payments.

The Company is continually reviewing its income property portfolio for potential asset sales. The review has resulted in the listing of six income properties for sale. We have received offers on two of these properties. Sales of the properties are anticipated to occur in the second quarter of 2012. The Company anticipates making new investments in other income-producing assets with the proceeds from these transactions, utilizing the tax-deferred like-kind exchange process.

Self-Development—Mason Commerce Center. The Company has currently have two self-developed projects in the lease-up stage. The first project is a two-building 31,000 square-foot flex office space complex located within Mason Commerce Center. This represents the first phase of a 4-lot planned commercial development. The second phase would allow for an identical two building project to be built. Construction of these buildings was completed in 2008. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company executed a five-year lease with the State of Florida for 19,200 square feet in the flex office space complex. Tenant improvements were completed with occupancy on November 1, 2011. Additionally, a ten-year lease was signed with Walgreen Co. for an additional 3,840 square feet within the complex with occupancy occurring in the third quarter of 2011. The addition of these two new leases brings occupancy of the buildings to approximately 94%.

Concierge Office Building. The second self-developed property is the first phase of a 12-acre, 4-lot commercial complex located at the northeast corner of LPGA and Williamson Boulevards in Daytona Beach, Florida. The parcel includes a 22,000 square-foot two-story office building known as the Concierge Building. Approximately 75% of the building is under lease to two tenants, both of which commenced occupancy in the third quarter of 2009.

Golf Operations. Golf operations consist of the operation of two 18-hole championship golf courses with a three-hole practice facility, a clubhouse facility, and food and beverage activities within the LPGA International

mixed-use residential community on the west side of Interstate 95. LPGA International is a semi-private golf club consisting of the Champions course designed by Rees Jones and the Legends course designed by Arthur Hills. The Company leases the golf courses under a long-term lease with the City of Daytona Beach, Florida (the “City”). A significant increase in the lease rate takes effect on September 1, 2012. Due to the continuing losses of the golf operations, the Company has recorded an impairment charge totaling $4,012,476, before income tax. See “GOLF OPERATIONS” for a full discussion of the impairment charge. In order to counter the operating losses and the loss of memberships the last few years, the Company has dramatically reduced initiation fees and plans to make further investment in the club to enhance the member experience. Additionally, effective January 25, 2012, the Company contracted with a subsidiary of ClubCorp to manage the facility. ClubCorp, which owns and operates clubs and golf courses worldwide, brings golf management expertise and knowledge to the operation.

Agricultural Operations. Our agricultural operations consist of growing, managing, and selling timber and hay on approximately 9,700 acres of land on the west side of Daytona Beach, Florida. In previous periods we converted approximately 2,200 acres of our timberlands to hay production. Historically, the hay operations have produced losses. The Company is addressing these losses by reducing expenses and selling some of its related equipment in addition to aggressively selling the hay produced and harvested. The Company concluded the hay conversion process in the third quarter of 2011.

Subsurface. During 2011, an eight-year oil exploration lease covering approximately 136,000 net mineral acres primarily in Lee and Hendry Counties was executed and a $913,657 first year bonus rental payment was received. An additional $922,000, representing the guaranteed second year’s lease payment, is being held in escrow. The Company will also receive royalty payments if production occurs. In finalizing this lease, a review of our subsurface ownership interests was undertaken, which resulted in a true-up of acreage owned. The Company owns full or fractional subsurface oil, gas and mineral interests in approximately 490,000 surface acres in 20 Florida counties.

SUMMARY OF OPERATING RESULTS

The Company recorded a loss totaling $4,706,191, equivalent to $0.82 per share for the year ended December 31, 2011. This loss includes impairment charges totaling $4,065,000, after income tax, recorded on our golf operations and approximately 300 acres of land. This loss represents a significant increase from the loss of $602,954, equivalent to $0.11 per share, posted in 2010, and 2009’s profit of $800,680, equivalent to $0.14 per share.

The 2010 loss was primarily due to the modification of an accounting treatment related to the recording of land sales in the second quarter of 2009, as discussed in “NOTE 2. MODIFICATION OF AN ACCOUNTING TREATMENT” in the consolidated financial statements. This correction had the effect of decreasing net income by $720,000. During 2009’s first nine months, the Company had ancillary sales of sixteen acres of land to Volusia County for a road construction project generating revenues totaling $2,633,947.

REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS

2011 Compared to 2010

Losses from real estate operations totaled $3,614,076 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. These losses include an impairment charge of $2,606,412, described below. No real estate transactions were closed during the year. Revenues, which were realized on oil royalties and subsurface lease income in addition to modest hay sales, amounted to $546,584 during the year.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

 

The Company conducted an impairment analysis on 317 acres of land in 2011, which resulted in an impairment charge of $2,606,412. The charge represents the entire cost basis of the property as management has decided to abandon the property due to the high carrying costs associated with these parcels relative to the current market environment. During the third quarter 2011, several facts and circumstances changed surrounding the property, including the following:

 

   

The master developer abandoned its property and vacated the development.

 

   

Proposed property tax and Community Development District assessments were received and reflected significant increases.

 

   

Fully developed lots were recently sold within the community at depressed prices.

 

   

The national, state, and local economies, after earlier showing signs of recovery, weakened further during the period.

The impairment analysis was conducted in accordance with the Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”).

2010 Compared to 2009

Real estate operations posted a loss of $2,247,256 for the calendar year 2010. This loss was the result of no real estate transactions closed during the period. In addition, during the second quarter of 2010, a $1,125,000 modification of accounting treatment was recorded to real estate sales revenues from transactions which occurred in the prior year. This modification of an accounting treatment resulted in negative revenues totaling $932,669 for 2010 (see “NOTE 2. MODIFICATION OF AN ACCOUNTING TREATMENT” to the consolidated financial statements). Profits from real estate transactions during 2009 amounted to $1,378,594 and were realized on the ancillary sale of sixteen acres of property to Volusia County for the Dunn Avenue road extension project. Revenues of $2,633,947 were produced from real estate transactions for the year.

INCOME PROPERTIES

2011 Compared to 2010

Profits from income properties for the twelve months of 2011 totaled $6,535,289 and represented a modest decline from the prior year’s same period profits totaling $6,567,609. This slight downturn was posted on revenues substantially equivalent to the prior year’s same period and a 3% rise in costs and expenses. Revenues totaled $9,035,370 and $8,986,771 for 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Decreases in revenue on the expiration of the lease, at the end of January 2010, of the former Barnes & Noble property located in Lakeland, Florida, and the lower lease revenues from the Daytona Beach, Florida, Barnes & Noble property due to the renegotiated lease were offset by additional revenues recognized from the self-developed properties due to new leasing activities. Income properties’ costs and expenses totaled $2,500,081 and $2,419,162 for 2011 and 2010, respectively. The rise in expenses was due to higher interest expense, commissions and depreciation on the self-developed properties.

2010 Compared to 2009

The profits recognized in 2010 represented a 2% decrease from profits amounting to $6,446,068 recorded in 2009. The downturn in profits was the result of a 12% increase in costs and expenses during the year. The cost and expense increase was primarily attributable to costs, including depreciation, associated with the self-developed properties.

 

18


Table of Contents
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

 

Partially offsetting the rise in costs and expenses was a 4% gain in leasing revenues. The rise in revenues during the 2010 was attained on increased rents from our two-self-developed properties. Revenues from income properties amounting to $8,601,106 were posted in 2009. Results of operations for 2010 and 2009 from the three income properties either sold or classified as held for sale during the fourth quarter of 2011 have been reclassified as discontinued operations.

GOLF OPERATIONS

2011 Compared to 2010

For the year ended December 31, 2011, losses from golf operations totaled $5,666,554, including a $4,012,476 impairment charge. The loss before the impairment charge represented an improvement of 16% when compared to 2010’s loss of $1,969,274. The improvement was accomplished on a 4% revenue gain with both golf and food and beverage activities contributing to the revenue gain during the period. Golf revenues increased 4% and food and beverage revenues gained 3% over the prior year. Golf rounds played during the twelve months rose 12% but were somewhat offset by a 4% reduction in the average green fee paid. Golf operating costs and expenses were reduced 2% from the prior year primarily due to lower depreciation expense on the reduced value of the assets after the impairment charge.

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company recognized an impairment charge for its golf operations’ assets totaling $4,012,476. The fair market value of the property was determined to be $2,500,000. This fair market value was determined through a third party valuation specialist in the golf course industry. The impairment charge was taken as several facts and circumstances changed surrounding the property during the period, including the following:

 

   

The community master developer abandoned its property and vacated the development.

 

   

The national, state, and local economies, after showing earlier signs of recovery, weakened further during the period.

 

   

This economic slowdown was significantly impacted by the residential home market which is soft. The absence of significant residential home growth in and around LPGA International, as well as the Volusia and Flagler Counties’ markets, significantly reduces the potential for increased golf play.

 

   

Fully developed lots within the community were being sold at low prices indicating that the product to be sold in the community will be sold to a first time home buyers’ market segment. This market segment is not expected to support the golf operations in the same manner as the premium priced market segment.

 

   

The Company had a change in management, who changed the asset’s estimated holding period. New management does not believe it is in the Company’s best interest to absorb the negative income and cash flow losses until the possibility of a turnaround in future years may be realized and made the decision that this is not a future core holding of the Company.

2010 Compared to 2009

Despite improved results during each of the last three quarters of 2010, harsh weather conditions, including record cold and rain experienced during the first quarter of the year, resulted in increased losses from golf operations for calendar year 2010 when compared to the prior year. Losses from golf operations totaling $1,920,000 were posted for the twelve months of 2009. Revenues decreased 5% from the revenues posted in 2009 totaling $4,723,825. This revenue decline was due to a 4% decline in the number of rounds played during the period, coupled with a 3% decrease in average rate paid per round played. Golf operations costs and expenses

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

 

totaled $6,442,703 and represented a 3% decrease from 2009’s same period costs and expenses totaling $6,642,825. The reduction of golf costs and expenses was due to the reduced activity during the period coupled with lower course maintenance expenses.

GENERAL, CORPORATE, AND OTHER

There were releases of 66 acres of subsurface entry rights producing $22,000 during 2011, with releases on 13 acres producing profits on the sale of other real estate interests of $19,225 during 2010. Income of $35,840 was generated on the release of 20 acres of mineral surface entry rights during 2009.

Interest and other income totaled $437,391 for the twelve months of 2011 and included the recognition of an approximate $384,000 gain on the disposition of agriculture equipment and the sale of fill dirt totaling $26,000. Interest earned on investment securities was down from the prior year approximately $43,000 due to the liquidation of the investment portfolio in the third and fourth quarters of 2011. Losses on the sale of investment securities approximated $140,000 for the year.

Interest and other income totaled $156,914 in 2010. This amount represented a 20% decrease from 2009’s interest and other income which totaled $195,609. The fall was primarily due to lower investment returns earned during the period.

General and administrative expenses totaled $6,089,133 during 2011 and represented a 56% increase over 2010’s costs totaling $3,914,218. Several factors contributed to the higher expenses recorded during the year, including: increased stock option accruals, higher compensation costs attributed to severance costs for the former chief executive officer, the addition of the new chief executive officer, increased business association expenses and costs related to the termination of the interest rate swap. The increase in stock option accruals accounted for approximately $890,000 of the rise in expenses as accruals in 2010 were an addition to income of $630,000 primarily the result of a decline in the Company’s stock price.

A substantial reduction in general and administrative expenses was achieved during 2010 when compared to 2009. The 32% reduction was the result of lower compensation due to employee reductions and stockholders expense in addition to lower stock option accrual costs. Partially offsetting these cost savings were higher legal fees primarily associated with shareholder litigation. General and administrative expenses totaled $5,744,659 for the twelve months of 2009.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the fourth quarter of 2011, two income properties, the Northern Tool & Equipment property located in Asheville, North Carolina, and the Walgreen property located in Powder Springs, Georgia, were classified as assets held for sale on the balance sheet with results of operations classified as discontinued operations, net of income tax. These two properties are being actively marketed with sales anticipated to be completed within one year. Additionally, the former Barnes & Noble property in Lakeland, Florida, was sold during the period with a before tax profit of $146,977 recognized on the transaction. Results of operations and profit on the sale were shown as discontinued operations with results for 2010 and 2009 also reclassified to this category.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash, including restricted cash of $2,779,511, totaled $2,785,685 at December 31, 2011. The restricted cash is being held for reinvestment into additional income property through the Section 1031 tax-deferred like-kind exchange process. There were no investment securities at year-end 2011 as the approximate $5,000,000 portfolio of investment securities was liquidated in the third and fourth quarters of 2011. Overall debt balances were

substantially unchanged during the year, with balances of $15,266,714 and $15,249,248 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The notes payable balance at December 31, 2011 included $9,683,726 outstanding on the $25,000,000 revolving line of credit and $5,582,988 outstanding on the term loan due in July 2012.

On February 27, 2012, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) consisting of a $46,000,000 revolving credit facility with a maturity date of February 27, 2015, subject to a one-year extension at the option of the Company. The indebtedness outstanding under the Agreement accrues interest at a rate ranging from LIBOR plus 175 basis points to LIBOR plus 250 basis points, with the spread over LIBOR based on a ratio of the Company’s total indebtedness to total asset value. Under an accordion feature, the Company has the option to expand the borrowing capacity under the Agreement to $75,000,000. The indebtedness outstanding under the Agreement is unsecured and is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Agreement replaces the $25,000,000 revolving credit facility with a maturity date of June 27, 2014, and the term loan, which had a $5,582,988 outstanding at December 31, 2011, and would have matured on July 1, 2012.

Major uses of funds during the period were centered on development and construction activities in addition to the acquisition of land and leasehold improvements. Land and leasehold improvement acquisitions, which approximated $4,800,000, were funded utilizing the tax-deferred Internal Revenue Service Section 1033 process. These acquisitions included the repurchase of the final 17 acres from Halifax Hospital for $3,245,000, and the acquisition of land and leasehold improvements at the Tallahassee, Florida, CVS store at a cost approximating $1,600,000.

Development activities, which approximated $435,000 in 2011, included the continuation of our hay conversion program, obtaining approval for the 15-acre first phase of a professional/medical office park across from the new Florida Hospital-Memorial Medical Center, and beginning the permitting process for a 10-acre pre-permitted industrial site capable of supporting a facility of up to 148,000 square feet in the Gateway Business Center South development. An additional $1,170,000 was expended on tenant improvements for our self-developed flex office complex in Mason Commerce Center.

The projected expenditures for 2012 include the acquisition of an additional $10,000,000 of income producing properties. At this time, the Company does not plan to continue converting additional land to hay. Additional funds are expected to be expended on tenant improvements on our self-developed income properties as leases are secured. Capital expenditures can be reduced at our discretion based on operating cash needs. As additional funds become available through qualified sales, we expect to reinvest in additional real estate opportunities.

At the end of 2008, the Company focused its efforts on obtaining federal stimulus dollars to extend Dunn Avenue, a major east/west thoroughfare bridging Interstate 95, which would provide improved access to Company lands. In June 2009, the Company entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the City of Daytona Beach and the County of Volusia that allowed the use of these federal funds received by the County to build this road project. The Company’s cost participation projected to be $554,196 (originally estimated at $1,125,000) was paid in 2010. This amount is subject to true-up based on the actual cost of construction. Construction of the road project was completed in the second quarter of 2011.

Capital to fund acquisitions in 2012 and the near future is expected to be provided from cash, operating activities, and financing sources that are currently in place, including the recently closed $46,000,000 line of credit, and any asset sales. We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, capital requirements, and debt service requirements over the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase shares of our common stock having an aggregate value of up to $8,000,000, with $7,895,362 remaining, and no repurchases occurring during 2011.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

 

Our Board of Directors and management continually review the allocation of any excess capital with the goal of providing the best long-term return for all shareholders. The reviews consider various alternatives, including increasing or decreasing regular dividends, repurchasing stock, and retaining funds for reinvestment. Annually, the Board reviews the business plan and corporate strategies, and makes adjustments as circumstances warrant. At the October 26, 2011 Board of Directors’ meeting, the Company’s investment strategy was reviewed. Management’s focus is to redeploy proceeds from like-kind exchange transactions into stabilized investments with good risk-adjusted returns in larger metropolitan areas. We believe that investments in larger metropolitan areas will enhance diversification and long-term value.

The Company will also look to utilize its under leveraged balance sheet in short-term investments such as loans and securities. Targeted investments have been identified as the following:

 

   

Retail and office double or triple-net leased properties in major metropolitan areas;

 

   

Stabilized multi-tenant office and retail properties in major metropolitan areas;

 

   

Select office, flex, industrial, and retail self-developed properties on Company owned land;

 

   

Joint venture development using Company owned land;

 

   

Origination or purchase of 1-5 year term loans on strong risk-adjusted yields with property types to include hotel, office, retail, and industrial;

 

   

Real estate related investment securities, including commercial mortgage backed securities, preferred stock, and bonds; and

 

   

Purchase or origination of ground leases.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

We have various contractual obligations, which are recorded as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. Other items, such as certain development obligations, are not recognized as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements, but are required to be disclosed.

The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations and commercial commitments on an undiscounted basis at December 31, 2011, and the future periods in which such obligations are expected to be settled in cash. In addition, the table reflects the timing of principal and interest payments on outstanding borrowings.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated condensed financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. The development and selection of these critical accounting policies have been determined by management and the related disclosures have been reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

For a discussion of each of the Company’s critical accounting policies, including information and analysis of estimates and assumptions involved in their application, and other significant accounting policies, see “Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The principal market risk (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices) to which we are exposed is interest rates. The objective of our asset management activities is to provide an adequate level of liquidity to fund operations and capital expansion, while minimizing market risk. We utilize overnight sweep accounts and short-term investments to minimize the interest rate risk. We do not actively invest or trade in equity securities. We do not believe that this interest rate risk related to cash equivalents and short-term investments is material due to the nature of the investments.

We manage our debt, considering investment opportunities and risk, tax consequences, and overall financial strategies. We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk on our outstanding debt borrowings, which totaled $15,266,714 at December 31, 2011. The borrowings bear variable rate of interest based on market rates. Management’s objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower the overall borrowing costs. The term note portion of this debt, with a balance of $5,582,988 at December 31, 2011, was subject to an interest rate swap, which essentially fixed the interest rate, until the swap was terminated in the fourth quarter of 2011. A hypothetical change in the interest rate of 100 basis points (i.e. 1%) would not materially affect our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On February 1, 2012, the Company, upon approval of its Audit Committee, notified its current independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), that KPMG will be dismissed effective upon completion of their audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, and the issuance of their reports thereon.

Information regarding this dismissal was disclosed in our Current Report on form 8-K dated February 6, 2012, as amended. There were no disagreements or reportable events requiring disclosure under Item 304(b) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation, as required by rules 13(a)-15 and 15(d)-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In conducting this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on management’s assessment and those criteria, management believes that the Company has maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. The report of the independent registered accounting firm that audited the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is incorporated herein at Item 15.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fourth fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

The Company maintains the Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan is intended to replace the Company’s 2001 Stock Option Plan. Awards under the 2010 Plan may be in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares, and performance units. Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and non-employee directors may be selected by the Compensation committee to receive awards under the 2010 Plan. The maximum number of shares of which stock awards may be granted under the 2010 Plan is 210,000 shares. No participant may receive awards during any one calendar year representing more than 50,000 shares of common stock. In no event will the number of shares of common stock issued under the plan upon the exercise of incentive stock options exceed 210,000 shares. These limits are subject to adjustments by the Committee as provided in the 2010 Plan for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and other similar transactions or events. The 2010 Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the date that it was adopted by the Board, and no awards will be granted under the plan after that date.

Under the 2010 Plan, the Company has granted to certain key employees non-vested restricted stock where vesting is based upon the achievement of certain market conditions, which are defined as the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of certain peer groups during a five-year performance period. Upon his employment as president and chief executive officer of the Company in

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS (Continued)

 

August 2011, John P. Albright was granted an option to purchase 50,000 shares of Company common stock under the 2010 Plan with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value on the grant date. One-third of the option will vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, provided Mr. Albright is an employee of the Company on those dates.

The Company also maintains the 2001 Stock Option Plan (“the 2001 Plan”) pursuant to which 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued. The 2001 Plan in place was approved at the April 25, 2001 shareholders’ meeting. Under the 2001 Plan, the option exercise price equals the stock market price on the date of grant. The options vest over five years and all expire after ten years. The 2001 Plan provides for the grant of (1) incentive stock options, which satisfy the requirements of Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 422, and (2) non-qualified options, which are not entitled to favorable tax treatment under IRC Section 422. No optionee may exercise incentive stock options in any calendar year for shares of common stock having a total market value of more than $100,000 on the date of grant (subject to certain carryover provisions). In connection with the grant of non-qualified options, a stock appreciation right for each share covered by the option may also be granted. The stock appreciation right will entitle the optionee to receive a supplemental payment, which may be paid in whole or in part in cash or in shares of common stock equal to a portion of the spread between the exercise price and the fair market value of the underlying share at the time of exercise. All options granted to date have been non-qualified options.

(3) Pursuant to the Restricted Share Award Agreement between John P.

The restricted shares will vest in six increments of 16,000 shares each, upon the price per share of Company common stock during the term of Mr. Albright’s employment (or within 60 days after termination of his employment by the Company without cause) meeting or exceeding target trailing 60-day average closing prices ranging from $36.00 per share for the first increment to $65.00 per share for the final increment. If any increment of the restricted shares fails to satisfy the applicable stock price condition prior to six years from the grant date, that increment of the restricted shares will be forfeited. The weighted-average exercise price of these shares is uncertain.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited financial statement schedule III-Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 15, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co.’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co.:

We have audited Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, and our report dated March 15, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on those (consolidated) financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009

NOTE 1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co., a Florida corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Indigo Clermont LLC, Indigo Group Inc., Indigo Group Ltd., Indigo Henry LLC, Indigo International LLC, Indigo Development LLC, Indigo Grand Champions One LLC, Indigo Grand Champions Two LLC, Indigo Grand Champions Three LLC, Indigo Grand Champions Four LLC, Indigo Grand Champions Five LLC, Indigo Grand Champions Six LLC, Indigo Grand Champions Seven LLC, Indigo Grand Champions Eight LLC, Indigo Grand Champions Nine LLC, Indigo Grand Champions Ten LLC, Indigo Mallard Creek LLC, Indigo Melbourne LLC, Indigo Sanford LLC, Palms Del Mar Inc., W. Hay Inc., and W. Hay LLC, (collectively, “the Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company is primarily engaged, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, in the real estate industry. Real estate operations, which are primarily commercial in nature, also include golf operations, income properties, leasing properties for oil and mineral exploration, and agricultural operations. These operations are predominantly located in Volusia County, Florida, with various income properties located within Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Because of the adverse market conditions that currently exist in the Florida and national real estate markets, and financial and credit markets, it is possible that the estimates and assumptions, most notably with the Company’s investment in income properties and its pension liability, could change materially during the time span associated with the continued weakened state of these real estate and financial markets.

CASH

Cash includes cash on hand, bank demand accounts, and money market accounts having original maturities at acquisition date of 90 days or less.

RESTRICTED CASH

The Company’s qualified intermediary held $2,779,511 in escrow, for the benefit of the Company at December 31, 2011, with no funds being held at December 31, 2010. The funds were being held to complete the purchase of income properties through the like-kind exchange process.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable primarily consist of rent receivables from income properties. The impairment of these receivables is determined based on a review of specifically identified accounts using judgments, which are made with respect to the collectability of the receivable based on historical experience and current economic trends. Accounts receivable are classified in other assets on the balance sheet.

NOTE 1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

LAND AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The carrying value of land and development includes the initial acquisition costs of land, improvements thereto, and other costs incidental to the acquisition or development of land. These costs are allocated to properties on a relative sales value basis and are charged to costs of sales as specific properties are sold. Due to the nature of the business, land and development costs have been classified as an operating activity on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Interest of $96,762 was capitalized to land and development during 2009, with no interest capitalized during 2010 and 2011.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consist of the in-place lease value associated with single-tenant income properties acquired by the Company. This in-place lease value was determined by estimating the cost of replacing the lease should it not be in-place. Factors, such as foregone rent and leasing commissions among others, are taken into account to determine the in-place lease value. This value is amortized over the remaining term of the lease at the time the properties are purchased. At December 31, 2011, the in-place lease value totaled $3,572,096, net of amortization of $2,588,823. At December 31, 2010, the in-place lease value totaled $4,167,478, net of amortization of $2,429,061.

The estimated amortization expense for each of the calendar years 2012–2015 is $389,628, with the estimated amortization in 2016 totaling $351,539. The weighted average amortization period of the in-place lease value is 17 years.

PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Such properties are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Renewals and betterments are capitalized to property accounts. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. The cost of property retired or otherwise disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization, are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recorded in the statement of operations. Subsurface interests are included in property, plant, and equipment with no net cost basis at December 31, 2011. The amount of depreciation and amortization of property, plant, and equipment, exclusive of amortization related to intangible assets, recognized for the years 2011, 2010, and 2009, was $2,088,506, $2,306,229, and $2,350,464, respectively. Interest of $28,733, $3,793, and $40,882 was capitalized to construction in process during 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

The range of estimated useful lives for property, plant, and equipment is as follows:

 

Golf Buildings and Improvements

     10-43 Years   

Golf Equipment

     5-10 Years   

Income Properties Buildings and Improvements

     40 Years   

Other Furnishings and Equipment

     5-25 Years   

Agriculture Equipment

     5-10 Years   

The acquisition cost of land, timber, real estate taxes, site preparation, and other costs relating to the planting and growing of timber are capitalized to land, timber, and subsurface interests. Such costs attributed to the timber are charged to cost of sales at the time timber is harvested. Timber and timberlands are stated at the lower cost or market value.

Costs associated with the conversion of property to hay, including site preparation, and other costs related to the planting of the permanent crop, are capitalized to land, timber & subsurface interests. Costs of growing the crop is accumulated until the time of harvest and recorded as inventory until sold, at which time it is charged to cost of sales. Hay inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets, including real estate held for development and sale, and property, plant, and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Examples of situations considered to be triggering events include: a substantial decline in operating cash flows during the period, a current or projected loss from operations, an income property not fully leased or leased at rates that are less than current market rates, and any other quantitative or qualitative events deemed significant by our management. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment by using an undiscounted cash flow approach, which considers future estimated capital expenditures. Impairment on long-lived assets is measured at fair value less cost to sell. During the third quarter of 2011, the Company recognized impairment charges of $4,012,476 on its golf course operation, and $2,606,412 on 300 acres of land, see Note 4—“Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” for further discussion on these charges.

SALE OF REAL ESTATE

The profit on sales of real estate is accounted for as required by the “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate Topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification” (“FASB ASC”). The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of real estate at the time the sale is consummated, unless the property is sold on a deferred payment plan and the initial payment does not meet established criteria, or the Company retains some form of continuing involvement in the property.

During 2009, a real estate sales transaction closed in which the Company had a commitment to fund up to $1,125,000 for its share of road construction costs. During 2010, the Company’s revised project cost participation, amounting to $554,196, was paid. The remaining balance, totaling $570,804, is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet at December 31, 2011. This amount is subject to true-up based on the actual cost of construction and an adjustment will be recorded as income upon the final true-up.

INCOME PROPERTIES

The rental of the Company’s income properties are classified as operating leases. The Company recognizes lease income on these properties on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

OPERATING LEASE EXPENSE

The Company leases property and equipment, which are classified as operating leases. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

GOLF OPERATIONS

The Company operates two golf courses and a clubhouse facility, including food and beverage operations. Revenues from this operation, including greens fees, cart rentals, merchandise, and food and beverage sales, are recognized at the time of sale. Initiation fees and membership dues are recognized over the life of the membership.

OTHER REAL ESTATE INTERESTS

The Company owns full or fractional subsurface oil, gas, and mineral interest in approximately 490,000 “surface” acres of land owned by others in 20 counties in Florida. The Company leases its interest to mineral

exploration firms for exploration. Leases on 800 acres have reached maturity; but, in accordance with their terms, are held by oil companies without annual rental payments because of producing oil wells, from which the Company receives royalties. Revenues are recognized at the time the Company receives the royalty payment.

From time to time the Company will release surface or subsurface entry rights upon request of the surface owner. The Company recognizes revenue from the release at the time the transaction is consummated, unless the property is released under a deferred payment plan and the initial payment does not meet the criteria establish under the “Sales of Real Estate Topic of FASB ASC,” the Company retains some form of continuing involvement in the property, or the transaction does not meet other requirements.

UNFUNDED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company previously established the Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, and for Officers and Key Employees (the “Plans”). Both plans provide that the Plans may be amended in whole or in part from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). At its Board meeting on October 26, 2011, the Board approved an amendment to the Plans to: 1) Freeze the Plans, effective January 1, 2012, to allow no new participants or deferrals into the Plan; and 2) to apply an interest rate of 6% to account balances for the year 2011 with the rate to be reviewed annually.

The amount of deferred compensation reflected in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $1,598,871 and $1,984,132, respectively. Deferred compensation earnings allocated to the deferred compensation balance for the three years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, was $91,552, $125,012, and $147,026, respectively.

PENSION

The Company has funded a non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”), covering all eligible employees.

Effective December 31, 2011, the Company amended its Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the “Plan”) to freeze participants’ benefits with no future accruals after that date. Any current or future employee who was not a participant of the Plan on December 31, 2011 will not be eligible to enter the Plan. Although the Plan will remain active with no new entrants and no future accruals, the Company’s contribution level is expected to be reduced over time.

STOCK OPTIONS

The Company maintains a stock option plan (“the Plan”) pursuant to which 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued. The Plan in place was approved at the April 25, 2001 shareholders’ meeting and expired in April 2011, with no new option shares issued after that date. Under the Plan, the option exercise price equals the stock market price on the date of grant. The options generally vest over five years and all expire after ten years. In connection with the grant of non-qualified options, a stock appreciation right for each share covered by the option may also be granted. The stock appreciation right will entitle the optionee to receive a supplemental payment, which may be paid in whole or in part in cash or in shares of common stock equal to a portion of the spread between the exercise price and the fair market value of the underlying share at the time of exercise. The expenses associated with stock options and stock appreciation rights are recognized over their requisite service period.

Both the Company’s stock options and stock appreciation rights are liability classified awards and are required to be remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date until the award is settled, as required by provisions of the “Share-Based Payments Topic of FASB ASC.” (See Note 9 “Stock Option Plan”).

NOTE 1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company held on April 28, 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved the Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan is intended to replace the Company’s 2001 Stock Option Plan. Awards under the 2010 Plan may be in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares, and performance units. Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and non-employee directors may be selected by the Compensation Committee to receive awards under the 2010 Plan. The maximum number of shares of which stock awards may be granted under the 2010 Plan is 210,000 shares. No participant may receive awards during any one calendar year representing more than 50,000 shares of common stock. In no event will the number of shares of common stock issued under the plan upon the exercise of incentive stock options exceed 210,000 shares. These limits are subject to adjustments by the Compensation Committee as provided in the 2010 Plan for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and other similar transactions or events. The 2010 Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the date that it was adopted by the Board, and no awards will be granted under the plan after that date.

Under the 2010 Plan, the Company grants to key employees non-vested restricted stock where vesting is based upon the achievement of certain market conditions, which are defined as the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of certain peer groups during a five-year performance period.

The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value of its market condition awards. The determination of the fair value of market condition-based awards is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the requisite performance term of awards, the relative performance of the Company’s stock price, and shareholder returns to those companies in its peer group, annual dividends, and a risk-free interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the achievement of the market condition, provided the requisite service period is met.

In connection with the appointment of John P. Albright as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Board authorized grants of the following equity awards, effective August 1, 2011:

 

   

Non-Qualified Stock Option Award: Pursuant to the Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. Nonqualified Stock Option Award Agreement between the Company and Mr. Albright (the “Stock Option Award Agreement”), Mr. Albright was granted an option to purchase 50,000 shares of Company common stock under the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value on the grant date. One-third of the option will vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, provided Mr. Albright is an employee of the Company on those dates. In addition, any unvested portion of the option will vest upon a change in control. The option expires on the earliest of (a) the tenth anniversary of the grant date, (b) twelve months after Mr. Albright’s death or termination for disability, or (c) thirty days after the termination of Mr. Albright’s employment for any reason other than death or disability.

 

   

Restricted Share Award: An “inducement” grant of 96,000 shares of restricted Company common stock outside of the 2010 Plan was awarded to Mr. Albright pursuant to the Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. Restricted Share Award Agreement (the “Restricted Share Award Agreement”) between the Company and Mr. Albright. The restricted shares will vest in six increments of 16,000 shares each based upon the price per share of Company common stock during the term of Mr. Albright’s employment (or within 60 days after termination of his employment by the Company without cause) which meets or exceeds target trailing 60-day average closing prices ranging from $36 per share for the first increment to $65 per share for the final increment. If any increment of the restricted shares fails to satisfy the applicable stock price condition prior to six years from the grant date, that increment of the restricted shares will be forfeited. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 to register the restricted stock.

Table of Contents

NOTE 1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Both the non-qualified stock option award and the restricted share award were determined to be equity-based awards under the “Share-Based Payment Topic of FASB ASC.”

The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model to determine the fair value and vesting period of the restricted share award. The determination of the fair value of market condition-based awards is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the requisite performance term of awards, the performance of the Company’s stock price, annual dividends and a risk-free interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the achievement of the market conditions, provided the requisite service period is met.

INCOME TAXES

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred income taxes result primarily from the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes (See Note 6 “Income Taxes”).

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per common share are presented in accordance with the “Earnings Per Share Topic of FASB ASC.” Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share are based on the assumption of the conversion of stock options using the treasury stock method at average cost for the year (see Note 12 “Earnings Per Share”).

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash, investment securities, and accounts receivables.

The Company’s real estate investments are concentrated in the State of Florida. Uncertainty of the duration of a prolonged real estate and economic downturn could have an adverse impact on the Company’s real estate values.

The largest of the Company’s income property tenants consist of Holiday CVS, L.L.C. and Walgreen Co., which the Company considers good credit-quality tenants. Holiday CVS L.L.C. revenues accounted for 18% of consolidated revenue during 2011, with Walgreen Co. accounting for 16% of consolidated revenue. Holiday CVS, L.L.C. and Walgreen Co. accounted for 22% and 20% of the Company’s income portfolio in terms of rentable square feet in 2011, respectively. The Company has diversified its income property tenant mix with Barnes & Noble, Lowe’s Home Improvement Center, Northern Tool & Equipment Co., RBC Centura Bank, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Harris Teeter Supermarket, and Best Buy, as tenants.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company accounts for financial instruments as required by the “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic of FASB ASC.” The largest carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable at December 31, 2011 and 2010, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s notes payable approximates fair value at December 31, 2011 and 2010, since the notes are at floating rates or fixed rates, which approximate current market rates for notes with similar risks and maturities. The interest rate swap derivative, which was terminated in the fourth quarter of 2011, was carried at its fair value at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

NOTE 1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

The fair market value of the interest rate swap agreement was determined using Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2). A financial model was used to determine the fair market value of the interest rate swap. The model estimated the expected cash flows discounted at the risk-free rate, using the treasury yield curve, plus the current market observable LIBOR interest rate spread to treasuries, adjusted for the credit risk of the Company. The fair market value recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010, was a liability of $511,779, and included in accrued liabilities on the balance sheet.

Following is a table summarizing the assets valued at fair value on the balance sheet:

In determining the fair value of both the assets held for sale and golf, buildings, improvements, and equipment the market approach incorporating market comparables were used utilizing third party valuation firms. Costs to sell were taken into account to determine the fair value of the assets.

The following table is a reconciliation for the year ended December 31, 2011, of assets which level 3 inputs were used in determining fair value:

There were no transfers between levels for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. All losses are included in earnings during 2011.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENT AND CERTAIN HEDGING ACTIVITY

Until it was terminated on December 31, 2011, the Company had a cash flow derivative related to the interest rate swap on its term loan.

The Company accounted for its cash flow hedging derivative under the “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities Topic of FASB ASC.”

The derivative was recognized on the balance sheet at its fair value. On the date the derivative contract was entered into, the Company designated the derivative as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be paid related to a recognized liability (“cash flow hedge”).

The Company formally documented the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. The Company also formally assessed, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative that is used in hedging the transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item.

Changes in the fair value of the derivative, that is highly effective, and that was designated and qualified as a cash-flow hedge is recorded in other comprehensive loss, until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item.

 

F-15


Table of Contents

NOTE 1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item, the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, the derivative is re-designated as a non-hedging instrument or management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. When hedge accounting is discontinued, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet, and recognizes any changes in its fair value in earnings.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Fair Value Measurement

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” This update establishes common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The objective of this update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This update requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements and eliminates the option in U.S. GAAP to present other comprehensive income in the statement of equity. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December of 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 this update deferred the effective date of certain requirements of ASU No. 2011-05.” The adoption of these updates is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications were made to the 2010 and 2009 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2011 presentation.

NOTE 2.    MODIFICATION OF AN ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company sold two parcels of land and an easement to Volusia County for right-of-way, retention ponds, and construction access for the Dunn Avenue extension road project. The Company and Volusia County executed a joint funding agreement, which required the Company, Volusia County, and the City of Daytona Beach to each fund $1,125,000 of the estimated $9,900,000 construction, engineering, and inspection costs for the Dunn Avenue extension project. The land sales were recorded at closing when the cash proceeds were received in full. The commitment to fund a portion of the construction costs was initially expected to be recorded as land development cost when incurred since the Company owned additional adjoining land benefitting from the expenditure. The $1,125,000 funding commitment was previously disclosed in the second quarter 2009 Form 10-Q and 2009 Form 10-K.

 

F-16


Table of Contents

NOTE 2.    MODIFICATION OF AN ACCOUNTING TREATMENT (Continued)

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Company determined that the original accounting for these transactions was incorrect. The appropriate accounting would have been to record the road construction contribution, in the amount of $1,125,000, as a reduction of the land sales price during the second quarter of 2009. After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the misstatement, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the Company determined the correction was not material to the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009. As a result, the accounting correction reduced revenues and profits from real estate sales by $1,125,000, in addition to reducing income tax expense and deferred taxes by $405,000, and was recorded in the second quarter of 2010. The adjustment had the effect of decreasing net income by $720,000 during the second quarter, equivalent to $0.13 per share.

NOTE 3.    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the fourth quarter of 2011, two income properties were classified as held for sale as we have an active program to market and sell the properties with a high probability that a sales transaction will occur within one year. A property classified as held for sale is carried at the lower of carrying cost or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell. During the period, we recorded a provision for impairment totaling $68,454 on the two properties.

Also during the period we sold the former Barnes & Noble property in Lakeland, Florida. This property had been vacant since the lease expired at the end of January 2010. Profits totaling $146,977 were recognized on the sales transaction

Operations from two investment properties classified as held for sale at December 31, 2011, plus the property, sold are reported as discontinued operations. Their respective results of operations have been reclassified as income from discontinued operations on our consolidated statements of operations. In accordance with FAS ASC 360, depreciation was discontinued once the properties were classified as held for sale.

The following is a summary of income from discontinued operations:

NOTE 4.    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company recognized an impairment charge for its golf operations’ assets totaling $4,012,476. The fair market value of the property was determined to be $2,500,000 through a third party valuation specialist in the golf course industry. The impairment charge was taken as several facts and circumstances changed surrounding the property during the period, including the following:

 

   

The community master developer abandoned its property and vacated the development.

 

   

The national, state, and local economies, after showing earlier signs of recovery, weakened further during the period.

 

F-17


Table of Contents

NOTE 4.    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS (Continued)

 

 

   

This economic slowdown is significantly impacted by the residential home market which is soft. The absence of significant residential home growth in and around LPGA International, as well as the Volusia and Flagler Counties’ market, significantly reduces the potential for increased golf play.

 

   

Fully developed lots within the community are being sold at low prices indicating that the product to be sold in the community will be sold to a first time home buyers’ market segment. This market segment is not expected to support the golf operations in the same manner as the premium priced market segment.

 

   

The Company had a change in management, who changed the asset’s estimated holding period. New management does not believe it is in the Company’s best interest to absorb the negative income and cash flow losses until the possibility of a turnaround in future years may be realized and made the decision that this is not a future core holding of the Company.

The Company also conducted an impairment analysis on approximately 300 acres of land. The analysis resulted in an impairment charge of $2,606,412. The charge represents the entire cost basis of the property as management has decided to abandon the property due to the high carrying costs associated with these parcels relative to the current market environment. During the third quarter 2011, several facts and circumstances changed surrounding the property, including the following:

 

   

The master developer abandoned its property and vacated the development.

 

   

Proposed property tax and Community Development District assessments were received and reflected significant increases.

 

   

Fully developed lots were recently sold within the community at depressed prices.

 

   

The national, state, and local economies, after showing earlier signs of recovery, weakened further during the period.

The impairment analyses were conducted in accordance with the “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification” (“FASB ASC”).

NOTE 5.    INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The Company held a portfolio of investment securities until they were fully liquidated in the fourth quarter of 2011. The Company accounted for investment securities in accordance with the “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities Topic of FASB ASC.” This standard requires classification of the investment portfolio into three categories: held to maturity, trading, and available for sale.

Until the decision was made to liquidate the investment securities portfolio, the Company classified as held to maturity those securities which the Company had the intent and ability to hold through their stated maturity date. Investment securities, which were classified as held to maturity, were carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums, and accretion of discounts. Gains and losses were determined using the specific identification method.

Following is a table reflecting the sale of investment securities and losses recognized in the three years ended December 31, 2011:

The Fair Value of all investment securities were measured using quoted prices in active markets, Level 1 inputs, throughout each of the years.

The following tables show the Company’s investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at December 31, 2010. The unrealized losses on investments in debt securities issued by states and political subdivisions of states were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the Company had the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments were not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The sources of these differences and the related deferred income tax assets (liabilities) are summarized as follows:

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the realization of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider past history, the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we believe it is more likely than not that a portion of the Company’s deferred tax

assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the valuation allowance was $607,353, and $2,309,787, respectively.

The valuation allowance is primarily related to charitable contribution carryforwards. The valuation allowance was decreased by $1,702,434 in 2011 with an increase of $216,406 in 2010. The change in valuation allowance in 2011 was due to the expiration of charitable contribution carryforwards, which had previously been reserved. The change in valuation allowance in 2010 was due to the modification of management’s projections of the utilization of the charitable contributions over the five-year carryforward period. Taxes related to the deduction for charitable contribution carryforwards, which expire in 2012, approximate $217,000, respectively.

Following is a reconciliation of the income tax computed at the federal statutory rate of 35% for 2011, 2010, and 2009:

The Company had letters of credit outstanding totaling $1,600,000 at December 31, 2010, with no letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2011. The balance available to borrow on the line of credit was $15,316,274 and $5,674,259 at December 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively.

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants in December 31, 2011.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company terminated its interest rate swap agreement, which the Company had entered into on April 8, 2002, at a cost of $188,600. The interest rate swap agreement was entered into essentially to fix the interest rate on the $8,000,000 long-term financing, entered into on July 1, 2002, at 7.35%. Until its termination, the interest rate swap was accounted for as a cash flow derivative under the “Accounting Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities Topic of FASB ASC,” with the change in fair value of the interest rate swap, from its inception, resulting in the recording of an accrued liability of $511,779 at December 31, 2010, the cumulative change in fair value, net of applicable taxes, in the amount of $314,361 at December 31, 2010 had been recorded as accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders’ equity.

On February 27, 2012, the Company closed on a new $46,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility, replacing its existing $25,000,000 secured revolving line of credit and paying-off its existing term loan, which had a balance of $5,582,988 at December 31, 2011. The new credit facility matures in February 2015, with a Company option to extend one year. The interest rate on the facility ranges from LIBOR plus 175 basis points to LIBOR plus 250 basis points, based on the amount drawn on the facility. It also includes an accordion feature allowing the Company to increase the facility size to $75,000,000.

NOTE 9.    PENSION PLAN

The Company maintains a defined benefit plan for all employees who have attained the age of 21 and completed one year of service. The pension benefits are based primarily on years of service and the average compensation for the five highest consecutive years during the final ten years of employment. The benefit formula generally provides for a life annuity benefit.

Effective December 31, 2011, the Company amended its Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the“Plan”) to freeze participants’ benefits with no future accruals after that date. Any current or future employee who is not a participant of the Plan on December 31, 2011 will not be eligible to enter the Plan. Although the Plan will remain active with no new entrants and no future accruals, the Company’s contribution level is expected to be reduced over time.

The Company uses a December 31 measurement date.

Plan Assets

The Company’s investment policy for pension funds is to achieve four major objectives as follows:

 

  1) Growth in the invested assets to maintain future purchasing power.

 

  2) Provide a stable, increasing stream of investment income to support needs.

 

  3) Ensure the preservation of asset values equal to or greater than the nominal book value of assets over the intermediate term or a complete economic cycle, whichever is longer.

 

  4) Maintain liquidity.

NOTE 9.    PENSION PLAN (Continued)

 

The Company’s overall investment strategy is to achieve a mix of approximately 75-85% of investments for long-term growth and 15-25% for near-term benefit payments with a diversification of asset types and strategies.

The allocation of investments are targeted at 60% in common equities and 40% in fixed income securities, exclusive of cash and cash equivalents with a typical 10% range of fluctuation. Equity securities primarily include investments in large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap companies primarily located in the United States. Fixed income securities primarily include corporate bonds of diversified industries also primarily located in the United States. No single security, except short-term obligations of the U.S. government, shall constitute more than 4% of consolidated assets.

The plan’s weighted average asset allocations at December 31, 2011 and 2010 by asset category are as follows:

 

     December 31,  
     2011     2010

The long-term rate of return on plan assets represents an estimate of long-term returns on an investment portfolio consisting of a mixture of equities, fixed income, and alternative investments. When determining the long-term rate of return on plan assets, the Company considers long-term rates of return on the asset classes (both historical and forecasted) in which the Company expects the pension funds to be invested.

Cash Flows:

Contributions

The Company makes periodic contributions in accordance with minimum funding requirements and maximum allowable deductions. It is estimated the 2012 contribution will be in the $300,000 to $350,000 range.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments

The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service as appropriate, are expected to be paid.

 

Year Ending December 31,

   Amount  

2012

   $ 568,100   

2013

     653,900   

2014

2016

     684,300   

2017-2021

     3,551,800   

The following assumptions have been made regarding estimated benefit payments:

All currently retired participants survive through 2021.

All currently active participants survive and retire on their normal retirement dates.

No additional benefits will accrue after December 31, 2011.

NOTE 10.    POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

The Company has a policy regarding post-retirement benefit programs for certain health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees. All full-time employees became eligible to receive life benefits if they retire after reaching age 55 with 20 or more years of service, and supplemental medicare benefits if they reach age 65 and 20 years of service. The post-retirement health care plan is contributory with retiree contributions adjusted annually; the life insurance plan is non-contributory up to $5,000 of coverage.

The Company recognizes post-retirement expenses in accordance with the “Employers’ Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions Topic of FASB ASC,” which requires that expected costs of post-retirement benefits be charged to expense during the years the employees render service. The accrued post-retirement benefit cost reflected in the consolidated balance sheet in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2011 and 2010, was $207,319 and $204,709, respectively.

NOTE 11.    STOCK OPTION PLAN

Under the 2010 Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), the Company granted to certain key employees non-vested restricted stock where vesting is based upon the achievement of certain market conditions, which are defined as the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of certain peer groups during a five-year performance period.

The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model to determine the fair value of its market condition based awards. The determination of the fair value of market condition-based awards is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the requisite performance term of awards, the relative performance of the Company’s stock price, and shareholder returns to those companies in its peer group, annual dividends, and a risk-free interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the achievement of the market conditions, provided the requisite service period is met.

NOTE 11.    STOCK OPTION PLAN (Continued)

 

As of December 31, 2011, there was $1,353,196 of unrecognized compensation cost adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to market condition non-vested restricted shares, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

Both the non-qualified stock option award and the restricted share award were determined to be equity-based awards under the “Share-Based Payment Topic of FASB ASC.”

The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model to determine the fair value and vesting period of the restricted share award. The determination of the fair value of market condition-based awards is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the requisite performance term of awards, the performance of the Company’s stock price, annual dividends, and a risk-free interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the achievement of the market conditions, provided the requisite service period is met.

The Company has maintained a stock option plan (the “2001 Plan”) pursuant to which 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock could be issued. The plan expired in 2010. No new stock options can be issued.

A summary of share option activity under the 2001 Plan as of December 31, 2011, and changes during the year ended is presented below:

NOTE 11.    STOCK OPTION PLAN (Continued)

 

The fair value of each share option and stock appreciation right is estimated on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility and other factors of the Company. The Company has elected to use the simplified method of estimating the expected term of the options and stock appreciation rights.

Due to the small number of employees included in the Plan, the Company uses the specific identification method to estimate forfeitures and includes all participants in one group. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the share option is based on the U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of measurement.

The Company issues new, previously unissued, shares as options are exercised.

Following are assumptions used in determining the fair value of stock options and stock appreciation rights:

 

Assumptions at December 31,

   2011     2010     2009  

Expected Volatility

     31.05     32.20     37.97

Expected Dividends

     .15     .14     .57

Expected Term

     2 years        3 years        4 years   

Risk-Free Rate

     .23     1.16     2.03

In connection with the exercise of 1,600 option shares in 2011, 167 shares of stock were issued and 1,433 shares of stock were surrendered to relieve the stock option liability by $2,128. Cash proceeds of $3,378 were received on the exercise of stock options.

There were no stock options or stock appreciation rights granted under this plan in 2011 and 2010. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during 2009 was $13.48. Stock appreciation rights granted during 2009, had weighted-average a fair value of $7.26. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the year ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 was $2,128, $17,724, and $11,632, respectively. Stock appreciation rights exercised during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 had intrinsic values of $909, $7,533, and $3,878, respectively.

There were 23,000 stock options which expired in 2009 with a weighted average exercise price of $61.32. The corresponding 23,000 stock appreciation rights, which had a weighted average fair value of $2.41, also expired in 2009.

As of December 31, 2011, there was $60,902 unrecognized compensation related to stock options and stock appreciation rights under the 2001 Plan, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

The total fair value of shares vested during the three years ended December 31, 2011 were $71,870, $139,857, and $368,224, respectively.

The liability for stock options and stock appreciation rights valued at fair value, reflected on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 and 2010, was $484,488 and $761,827, respectively.

Amounts recognized in the financial statements for stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock are as follows:

In December 2008, Wintergreen Advisers, LLC (“Wintergreen”), a Delaware limited liability company and the largest shareholder of the Company, filed a Verified Application for Court Ordered Inspection of the Company’s business records in the Circuit Court for the Seventh Judicial Circuit for Volusia County, Florida. Following a hearing on this matter, the trial court entered a Final Order Partially Granting and Partially Denying Wintergreen’s Verified Application in May 2010. Wintergreen subsequently appealed this matter to Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal, which affirmed the trial court’s decision and in January 2012 denied a motion for rehearing. On March 2, 2012, the Company and Wintergreen reached a resolution and the Company considers this matter to be concluded.

In September 2010, St. Johns River Water Management District (the “District”) served the Company with an administrative complaint in connection with certain Company agricultural operations. The complaint alleges that the Company constructed and operated a surface water management system without the proper permit. The Company disagreed with the District’s assertions in the complaint and requested an administrative hearing originally scheduled for late March 2011, which was subsequently rescheduled for July 2011. Due to proposed legislation involving the agricultural exemption, the parties agreed to place this matter in abeyance. The legislation, which passed and was made effective July 1, 2011, clarifies the application of the agricultural exemption to certain agricultural activities.

It also provided that, in the event of a dispute between the District and a landowner as to whether the agricultural exemption is applicable to particular activities, either party could request a binding determination by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (“DACS”). Since the new law was applicable retroactively, the case continued in abeyance until the facts of the case could be assessed in context with the new law. The District has since elected to have a determination made by DACS and made its request for a binding determination on January 31, 2012. The parties were required to file a status report with the Court on February 17, 2012. On February 16, 2012, the parties filed a joint motion for extension of abeyance, which was granted on February 17, 2012. The parties are to confer and advise the court of the status of this matter no later than May 15, 2012. While it is too early to evaluate a potential outcome, the Company does not believe the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net income or financial condition.

On November 21, 2011, the Company (and its affiliates, Indigo Mallard Creek LLC and Indigo Development LLC) was served with pleadings for a highway condemnation action for the Harris Teeter income property located in Charlotte, North Carolina. As a result of the accompanying road modifications, an all-access

NOTE 13.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

 

intersection with a traffic signal at Mallard Creek Road will be modified to a right-in/right-out only access. Harris Teeter, as the tenant under the lease for this property, recently notified the Company that it believes the loss of the all-access intersection materially adversely affects its business at this location. According to Harris Teeter’s interpretation of the lease, this allows it the right to terminate the lease, which it anticipates would occur immediately preceding construction commencement (which Harris Teeter estimates to be approximately July 31, 2012). The Company does not agree with Harris Teeter’s position in this matter and has engaged North Carolina counsel to represent its interests in both the condemnation proceedings and the tenant matter.

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings, incidental to the normal course of our business. While the outcome of the legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 14.    BUSINESS SEGMENT DATA

The Company primarily operates in three business segments: real estate, income properties, and golf operations. Real estate sales include land sales and development, agricultural operations, and leasing properties for oil and mineral exploration.

The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products. They are managed separately because each segment requires different management techniques, knowledge, and skills.

General corporate assets and assets used in the Company’s other operations consist primarily of cash, investment securities, notes receivable, and property, plant, and equipment. There were no transactions between segments for each of the years presented.
