Restricted Investments

The Company’s restricted investments are related to the Company’s deferred compensation plan. As part of the Pension Plan termination in 2014, the Company directed the Pension Plan to transfer the Pension Plan’s surplus assets into a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) plan. The Company has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets until they are allocated to current or future 401(k) plan participants within the next year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded an expense of $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the fair value of the assets, less expenses that were allocated to participants. Any gain or loss on these assets is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income and was less than a $0.1 million gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and less than a $0.1 million loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Refer to Note 6. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements.

Accounts Receivable, Net

The Company’s accounts receivable, net primarily include receivables related to certain homesite sales, leasing receivables, membership initiation fees, hospitality receivables and other receivables. At each reporting period accounts receivable in the scope of Topic 326 are pooled by type and judgements are made based on historical losses and expected credit losses based on economic trends to determine the allowance for credit losses primarily using the aging method. Actual losses could differ from those estimates. Write-offs are recorded when the Company concludes that all or a portion of the receivable is no longer collectible and recoveries on receivables previously charged-off are credited to

the allowance. As of September 30, 2020, accounts receivable were presented net of allowance for credit losses of $0.2 million and net of allowance for lease related receivables of $0.1 million. As of December 31, 2019, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable was $0.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable, net decreased less than $0.1 million.

Homesite Sales Receivable

Homesite sales receivable from contracts with customers include estimated homesite residuals and certain estimated fees that are recognized as revenue at the time of sale to homebuilders, subject to constraints. Any change in circumstances from the estimated amounts will be updated at each reporting period. The receivable will be collected as the homebuilders build the homes and sell to retail consumers, which can occur over multiple years.

Retained Interest Investments

The Company has a beneficial interest in certain bankruptcy-remote qualified SPEs used in the installment sale monetization of certain sales of timberlands in 2007 and 2008. The SPEs’ assets are not available to satisfy the Company’s liabilities or obligations and the liabilities of the SPEs are not the Company’s liabilities or obligations. Therefore, the SPEs’ assets and liabilities are not consolidated in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company’s continuing involvement with the SPEs is the receipt of the net interest payments and the remaining principal of approximately $16.4 million to be received at the end of the installment notes’ fifteen year maturity period, in 2022 through 2024. The Company has a beneficial or

retained interest investment related to these SPEs of $12.7 million and $12.2 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, recorded in other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
