Segment Information
Note 16 — Segment Information
     We manage our operations through three business segments: real estate, mineral resources and fiber resources. Real estate secures entitlements and develops infrastructure on our lands for single-family residential and mixed-use communities, and manages our undeveloped land and income producing properties, primarily a hotel and a multifamily property. Mineral resources manages our oil, natural gas and water interests. Fiber resources manages our timber and recreational leases.
     Assets allocated by segment are as follows:
                 
    Second        
    Quarter-End     Year-End  
    2011     2010  
    (In thousands)  
Real estate
  $ 694,686     $ 669,363  
Mineral resources
    14,580       13,399  
Fiber resources
    16,201       18,258  
Assets not allocated to segments
    99,688       88,304  
 
           
Total assets
  $ 825,155     $ 789,324  
 
           
     We evaluate performance based on segment earnings (loss) before unallocated items and income taxes. Segment earnings (loss) consist of operating income, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated ventures and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Items not allocated to our business segments consist of general and administrative expense, share-based compensation, gain on sale of assets, interest expense and other non-operating income and expense. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the accounting policy note to the consolidated financial statements. Our revenues are derived from our U.S. operations and all of our assets are located in the U.S. In first six months 2011, no single customer accounted for more than 10 percent of our total revenues.
