                              ST. JOE CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.       The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been
         prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form
         10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by
         generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
         statements are not included herein. The interim statements should be
         read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
         included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the
         opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
         financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
         recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position
         as of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and the results of
         operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31,
         1998 and 1997. The results of operations for the three month periods
         ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
         results that may be expected for the full year.

2.       On January 22, 1998, the Company entered into a memorandum of
         understanding ("the Memorandum") with the National Football League
         ("NFL") to build and operate NFL entertainment centers in locations
         nationwide. The venture, in which the Company will own a 40% interest,
         plans to operate facilities that provide interactive NFL football
         entertainment experiences in club settings complemented by food
         service, bar and retail sales. Under the Memorandum, the Company has
         agreed to initially contribute up to $25 million to the venture, which
         will seek to develop at least seven projects in various U.S. cities.
         The proposed transaction is subject to the execution of a definitive
         agreement and appropriate corporate approvals.

3.       On February 24, 1998, the Company completed a transaction with the
         Codina Group, Inc. ("Codina") and Weeks Corporation by which the
         Company and Weeks, among other things, each purchased a one-third
         interest in Codina, a commercial/industrial developer, active
         principally in southern Florida. The Company intends to develop
         commercial, industrial and office property, as well as manage Gran
         Central's existing properties in southern Florida, through its interest
         in Codina.

4.       On February 24, 1998, the Company acquired a 33% interest in ENTROS, a
         location-based entertainment company headquartered in Seattle,
         Washington that creates and produces interactive games in club settings
         and produces game-based programming for corporate events.

5.       On April 15, 1998, the Company reached an agreement in principle to
         acquire 100% of the assets of Prudential Florida Realty ("PFR") from
         CMT Holdings, Ltd. PFR is the largest real estate brokerage, sales and
         services company in Florida and the seventh largest in the United
         States. Under the terms of the proposed agreement, the Company will buy
         certain business assets of CMT Holdings, Ltd., for a total purchase
         price of $90 million in cash, of which $80 million will be paid at
         closing and $10 million will be deferred over a two-year period. There
         is also the potential for an additional $10 million in purchase price
         to be paid over three to five years if certain performance targets are
         met.

6.       The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", effective January
         1, 1998. This Statement establishes standards for reporting and display
         of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income for
         the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was $18.1 million and
         $13.3 million, respectively. This amount differs from net income due to
         changes in the net unrealized gains on marketable securities available
         for sale.

7.       The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation on a number
         of matters and are subject to certain claims which arise in the normal
         course of business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is
         expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
         consolidated financial position or results of operations.

         The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to
         losses for third party liability, property damage and group health
         insurance provided to employees.

         The Company is subject to costs arising out of environmental laws and
         regulations, which include obligations to remove or limit the effects
         on the environment of the disposal or release of certain wastes or
         substances at various sites, including sites which have previously been
         sold. It is the Company's policy to accrue and charge against earnings
         environmental cleanup costs when it is probable that a liability has
         been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable. As assessments and
         cleanups proceed, these accruals are reviewed and adjusted, if
         necessary, as additional information becomes available.

         The Company is currently a party to, or involved in, legal proceedings
         directed at the cleanup of Superfund sites. The Company has accrued an
         allocated share of the total estimated cleanup costs for these sites.
         Based upon management's evaluation of the other potentially responsible
         parties, the Company does not expect to incur additional amounts even
         though the Company has joint and several liability. Other proceedings
         involving environmental matters such as alleged discharge of oil or
         waste material into water or soil are pending against the Company.

         It is not possible to quantify future environmental costs because many
         issues relate to actions by third parties or changes in environmental
         regulation. However, based on information presently available,
         management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known
         matters will not have a material effect on the financial position,
         liquidity, or results of operation of the Company. As of March 31, 1998
         and December 31, 1997, the aggregate environmental related accruals
         were $7.3 million, respectively. Environmental liabilities are paid
         over an extended period and the timing of such payments cannot be
         predicted with any confidence.

            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                    OVERVIEW

St. Joe Corporation is a diversified company engaged in the real estate,
forestry, resort development, transportation and sugar industries. During the
first quarter of 1998, the Company also entered into the location-based
entertainment business.

RECENT EVENTS
On April 15, 1998, the Company reached an agreement in principle to acquire 100%
of the assets of Prudential Florida Realty ("PFR") from CMT Holdings, Ltd. PFR
is the largest real estate brokerage, sales and services company in Florida and
the seventh largest in the United States. Under the terms of the proposed
agreement, the Company will buy certain business assets of CMT Holdings, Ltd.,
for a total purchase price of $90 million in cash, of which $80 million will be
paid at closing and $10 million will be deferred over a two-year period. There
is also the potential for an additional $10 million in purchase price to be paid
over three to five years if certain performance targets are met.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 Net sales include real estate property sales, timber sales and sugar sales. Net
sales increased $4.7 million, or 14.7% in 1998 from $31.7 million in 1997. Sales
of real estate totaled $ .5 million in 1998 as compared to $6.2 million in 1997
due to several property sales by GCC in 1997. Forestry sales were $10.5 million
as compared to $13.8 million in 1997 due to fewer sales to FCP resulting from
reduced supply requirements under the fiber supply agreement with FCP offset
somewhat by increased sales to other parties. Sugar sales were $25.3 million as
compared to $11.7 million in 1997 as the Company consummated substantially all
of its sugar sales for the 1997-1998 harvest season. Operating revenues includes
realty and resort revenue and transportation revenue. Operating revenues were up
in the transportation segment to $49.3 million, an increase of $1.8 million over
1997 due to increased shipments at FEC. Real estate operating revenues were $9.8
million, an increase of $.6 million compared to 1997 resulting primarily from
increased rental rates and new buildings placed in service this year.

Cost of sales decreased $1.9 million, or 6.8% in 1998 from $28.7 million in 1997
due to a decrease in real estate cost of land sales of $5.9 million, and a
decrease in forestry cost of sales of $7.8 million, partially offset by an
increase in sugar cost of sales of $11.8 million. Operating expenses increased
$3.0 million, or 7.5% as a result of an increase in transportation operating
expenses of $1.9 million and an increase in realty operating expenses of $1.1
million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.8 million, or 40% in
1998 from 1997, attributable to a $1.8 million increase in corporate overhead
and a $1.5 million increase in the transportation segment's general and
administrative expenses offset by decreases in other segments.

Other income (expense) decreased $4.0 million, or 33.8% in 1998 compared to 1997
substantially due to lower interest income. As a result of the two special
distributions of net sales proceeds of $336.9 million in 1997, and uses of cash
for other investment purposes, average balances of invested cash were
substantially lower this year.

Income tax expense for 1998 totaled $9.1 million, representing an effective rate
of 44.7%, which is higher than the statutory rate because of the 50% excise tax
recorded on prepaid pension cost totaling $1.1 million. Income tax expense in
1997 was $10.3 million, for an effective rate of 46.4%.

Net income for the first quarter of 1998 was $7.5 million, or $.08 basic and
diluted per share, compared to $8.0 million, or $.09 basic and $.08 diluted per
share in 1997.

Real estate net sales and operating revenue decreased $5.1 million, or 33.1% in
the first quarter of 1998 compared to 1997. Cost of sales and operating expenses
decreased $5.2 million, or 42.3% in 1998 compared to 1997.

In the commercial/industrial division, rental revenues increased to $9.7
million, from $9.1 million in 1997, or 6.6%. The increase in rental revenue this
year can be attributed to an 8.9% increase in rental rates, a 6.7% increase in
rental revenue due to new buildings placed in service since the first quarter of
1997, offset by a 2.0% decrease from lost revenue on buildings sold in 1997.
Also impacting this quarter's revenue is the annual adjustment to 1997's
estimated rent recoverable from tenants resulting in a 6.8% decrease in total
rental revenue for the first quarter of 1998. Operating expenses in the
commercial/industrial division were $6.7 million in 1998, resulting in a 30.9%
gross margin. Operating expenses in 1997 were $6.0 million for a 34.1% gross
margin. The increase in operating expenses this year was attributable to a $.5
million increase in depreciation and $.2 million in additional property taxes
due to new buildings placed in service, and a $.4 million increase in property
management costs.

During 1998 one office/showroom/warehouse building totaling 62,780 square feet
was placed into service. There are also seven buildings under construction,
which will add an additional 887,000 square feet.

In 1998, the commercial/industrial division also had land sales and
miscellaneous real estate income of $.3 million with no related costs compared
to land sales and miscellaneous real estate income in 1997 of $5.9 million with
cost of sales of $6.1 million.

In the community/residential division, the Company recorded real estate sales
and management fees of $.3 million and operating costs of $.4 million. In 1997
the community/residential division recorded real estate sales of $.4 million and
costs of $.2 million. The increase in operating costs this year are attributable
to administrative and start-up costs on the St. Joe/Arvida venture.

Selling, general and administrative costs are up in 1998 due to additional
salaries and benefits in 1998.

Total net sales decreased $3.3 million, or 23.9% in 1998 compared to 1997. Sales
to Florida Coast Paper Company ("FCP") made up $6.2 million (224,792 tons) of
total sales in 1998, and sales to other customers totaled $4.3 million (149,689
tons). This compares to sales in 1997 to FCP of $12.1 million (425,087 tons) and
sales to other customers totaling $1.7 million (57,187 tons). Sales to other
customers were higher this quarter than the first quarter of 1997 as the Company
experienced more lump sum bid timber sales due to increased demand. Sales prices
of timber sold to FCP were lower this year at an average price of $27/ton
compared to $28/ton in 1997. Sales prices of timber sold to other customers were
also lower this year at an average of $28/ton compared to $30/ton last year.

Cost of sales decreased $7.8 million, or 56.5% in 1998 compared to 1997. Cost of
sales as a percentage of sales was 57% in 1998 as compared to 100% in 1997 due
primarily to less timber purchased from outside sources. The Company procured
less than 12,000 tons of wood this year to fulfill the requirements of its
timber supply agreement with FCP compared to 171,000 tons last year. The cost of
sales of procured wood were approximately $30/ton in 1998 and 1997. Cost of
sales on timber grown on Company land and sold to FCP decreased by $8/ton to
approximately $20/ton as a result of lower forestry costs in 1998. During the
first quarter of 1997, the Company recorded severance of approximately $1.2
million, of which approximately $.7 million would have been included in cost of
sales last year. The cost of sales for timber sold to other customers also
decreased this year due to sales of bid timber which do not require cutting and
hauling. Costs of sales on sales to other customers was $10/ton, which was
approximately $18/ton less than last year.

 General and administrative expenses were $.2 million lower than in 1997 due to
reductions in employee related costs. General and administrative costs in 1997
included $.5 million of severance payments made to terminated employees.
Included in 1998 is a nonrecurring payment of $.4 million for settlement of
property tax litigation.

TOTAL FLORIDA EAST COAST RAILWAY ("FEC") transportation operating revenues were
$46.8 million in the first quarter of 1998, an increase of $2.4 million, or 5.4%
compared to the first quarter of 1997. The number of shipments increased by
approximately 3,425 shipments or 3.1% in 1998 compared to 1997. This increase 
was comprised of increases in automotive shipments of 20.3%, increases in rock
shipments of 4.6%, and increases in intermodal shipments of 3.3%, offset by a
decline on all other carload shipments of 10.6%. Apalachicola Northern Railroad
Company ("ANRR") operating revenues for 1998 were $2.5 million, a decrease of
$.6 million, or 19.4% compared to 1997 due to a reduction of outbound shipments
from FCP and loss of other shipments due to flooding of the track for a week in
March.

Operating expenses for FEC in 1998 were $33.0 million, $2.0 million, or 6.5%
higher than 1997 due to a nonrecurring casualty insurance settlement totaling
$.7 million, $.6 million in increased employee related costs, $.3 million in
property taxes, and $.4 million in other transportation costs. ANRR's operating
costs were $2.5 million, consistent with 1997.

Net sales increased $13.6 million, or 116.2%, due to a 116% volume increase
(32,040 tons) resulting from accelerated deliveries to Talisman's sole customer.
Less than 3,000 tons of sugar remain to be sold for this harvest season. Sales
will begin on the 1998-1999 harvest season in the fourth quarter of this year.
Sales price per ton was slightly lower than last years at $428.30 per ton
compared to $428.97 per ton in the first quarter of 1997.

Cost of sugar sales as a percentage of sales increased in 1998 to 81.8% compared
to 76.1% in 1997. Frequent interruptions of harvesting and milling operations
caused by unseasonably rainy weather prevented the realization of any efficiency
from the increased volumes experienced, and resulted in a $25/ton higher cost.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $.2 million or 14.3% as a
result of a higher sugar marketing assessment, which directly relates to sugar
sold.

CORPORATE AND OTHER
Corporate selling, general and administrative expense not allocated to segments
totaled $3.0 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 150% compared to the first
quarter of 1997. Increases in salary and benefits and professional fees of $.2
million and a decrease in prepaid pension income of $1.6 million were the
primary causes for the increases this year.

The Company's effective tax rate was 44.7% in 1998 compared to 46.4% in 1997
primarily as a result of the 50% excise tax totaling $.6 million in 1998 and
$1.4 million in 1997 on the change in prepaid pension cost.


FINANCIAL POSITION

Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $10.6 million during the quarter from
$158.6 million at December 31, 1997 to $147.9 million at March 31, 1998 as a
result of the increases in investments of Codina and Entros as well as capital
expenditures.

Capital expenditures for the three months of 1998 totaled $17.7million, of which
$11.8 million related to real estate construction and land purchases.

Stockholders' equity at March 31, 1998 was $10.07 per share, an increase of $.18
from December 31, 1997 as a result of earnings for the quarter, net of the
Company's regular dividend of $.02 per share.
