Segment Information

Historically, the Company managed its operations through its real estate segment, mineral resources segment (previously referred to as oil and gas) and other segment (previously referred to as other natural resources). At and for the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company began managing its operations through one real estate segment. As such, the operating results of the Company's real estate segment are consistent with its consolidated operating results and no separate disclosure is required as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The Company's real estate segment is its core business and is expected to generate all of the Company’s revenues in fiscal 2019. The real estate segment primarily acquires land, secures remaining entitlements and develops infrastructure for single-family residential communities. The Company's real estate segment generates its revenues principally from sales of residential single-family finished lots.

The Company divested substantially all of its oil and gas working interest properties in 2016 and sold all of its remaining owned mineral assets and related entities in 2017. The mineral resources segment had no operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2018 or for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and is not presented as a segment in either period.

The Company has other business activities which were presented in its other segment in prior periods. The assets and results of operations of these business activities are immaterial and are included within the Company's real estate segment in the current period.

Additionally, as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2018, all of the results of operations and assets have been included in the real estate segment. In prior periods, certain costs and assets were not allocated to the Company’s segments. In the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company began evaluating the results of operations of its real estate segment based on income from continuing operations before income taxes. As a result, all of the Company’s results of operations have been allocated to the real estate segment for the three months ended December 31, 2018. This change in the measure of segment profit (loss) has been adopted prospectively and the prior period segment results have not been adjusted to conform to the current period. In prior periods, segment earnings (loss) consist of operating income, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated ventures, gain on sales of assets, interest income and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Items not allocated to segments in prior periods consist of general and administrative expense, share-based and long-term incentive compensation, gain on sale of timberland assets, interest expense, and other corporate interest and other income.

The accounting policies of the reporting segment is described throughout Note 1 included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KT for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
