During the year ended December 31, 2013, a total of 11.655 acres were sold for approximately $3.0 million as described below:

On December 4, 2013, the Company sold approximately 3.405 acres to RaceTrac Petroleum, Inc. (“RaceTrac”) for $1.3 million or approximately $382,000 per acre. We recognized a loss on the sale of approximately $244,000 which is primarily attributable to a higher basis in the property as a result of the Company having repurchased this land in 2010. The parcel sold to RaceTrac is part of Williamson Crossing, an approximately 23-acre, proposed commercial development located at the southeast corner of Williamson and LPGA Boulevards in Daytona Beach. RaceTrac is the first occupant for the Williamson Crossing site. In connection with the transaction, the Company agreed to reimburse RaceTrac up to $976,500 over the next five years for road improvements and the other costs associated with bringing multiple ingress/egress points to the entire Williamson Crossing site. As of December 31, 2013, $283,500 of cash is held in escrow related to the improvements and is classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company anticipates that all or a portion of these reimbursable costs will be shared by other owners as parcels in the Williamson Crossing development are sold and additional businesses locate to the site. Based on the book basis of the remaining repurchased acres relative to the price per acre in the RaceTrac transaction, the Company determined that no adjustment for impairment was required as of December 31, 2013.

On December 19, 2013, the Company sold approximately 2.02 acres to Intracoastal Bank. The land was sold for $640,000 or approximately $317,000 per acre for a gain of approximately $581,000. This parcel is located on LPGA Boulevard, east of I-95 in Daytona Beach, Florida, between the Vince Carter’s and Wendy’s restaurants.

On December 20, 2013, the Company sold approximately 6.23 acres to CarMax Auto Super Stores, Inc. (“CarMax”) for $1.05 million, or approximately $168,500 per acre, for a total loss of approximately $1.0 million. We recognized a loss of approximately $416,000 on the sale. In the second quarter of 2013 the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $616,000 which was based on the contract price in a transaction that had been executed for approximately 3.21 acres of the total 6.23 acres sold to CarMax. That transaction was terminated prior to closing. The basis in these acres was higher than is typical for the Company’s land holdings as this land had been reacquired through foreclosure in 2009.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company sold approximately16.6 acres of industrial land west of Interstate 95 at a price of approximately $618,000 or $37,000 per acre. The gain on the sale of this land totaled approximately $573,000.

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 paid $554,196 of this commitment. The remaining balance, totaling $570,804, was recorded as a liability and included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The finalization of the construction costs occurred in the first quarter of 2012, and resulted in approximately $730,000 of income during the second quarter of 2012, representing the reversal of the remaining commitment and a reimbursement of approximately $160,000.

The Company owns full or fractional subsurface oil, gas, and mineral interests in approximately 490,000 “surface” acres of land owned by others in 20 counties in Florida. The Company leases its interests to mineral exploration firms for exploration. Our subsurface operations consist of revenue from the leasing of exploration rights and in some instances additional revenues from royalties applicable to production from the leased acreage. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company also received oil royalties from operating oil wells on 800 acres under a separate lease with a separate operator. Production volume from these oil wells was 88,782 barrels in 2013, 81,441 barrels in 2012 and 104,211 barrels in 2011, resulting in revenues received from oil royalties of $267,693, $286,536 and $228,494, respectively.

During 2011, an eight-year oil exploration lease covering approximately 136,000 net mineral acres primarily located in Lee County and Hendry County, Florida, was executed and a $913,657 first year rental payment was received. An additional $922,114, representing the guaranteed second year’s delay rent, was received in September 2012. The two payments totaling approximately $1.83 million have been recognized ratably into income through September 2013. On September 22, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment of the exploration lease (the “Oil Lease Amendment”). Under the Oil Lease Amendment, the net mineral acres under exploration lease was reduced from approximately 136,000 net mineral acres to approximately 82,000 net mineral acres in Hendry County. The approximately 54,000 net mineral acres removed from the exploration lease were located in Lee County, Florida. In connection with the Oil Lease Amendment, the Company received a $3.293 million rent payment for the third year of the Company’s eight-year oil exploration lease. The payment is being recognized ratably over the 12 month lease period ending in September 2014. Also during September 2013, the Company received, and recognized as revenue, a non-refundable penalty payment of $1.0 million relating to the drilling requirements in the lease. The terms of the lease state the Company will receive royalty payments if production occurs and may receive additional annual rental payments if the lease is continued in years four through eight. Lease income is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the guaranteed lease term. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 lease income of approximately $1.6 million, $919,000 and $251,000 was recognized, respectively.
