<S>               <C>                    <C>
Blackstone            Sent PIB           Concern regarding size of raw land holdings. Possible interest in existing cash flow
                                         regarding the resort and commercial assets. Substantial concerns regarding Murdock's
                                         voting percentage.

Colony Capital        Sent PIB           Reverse inquiry. May have interest. Will need confidential information.

Starwood Capital        N/A

Starwood Hotels       Sent PIB           Interested, but questioned synergies. Starwood Hotels would only do something if
                                         someone else acquired other assets.

AEW                   Sent PIB           Qualified interest subject to negotiation of exclusivity. Concerned about Murdock
                                         voting percentage.

Lend Lease            Sent PIB           Concerned about Murdock's voting percentage. Mark Bratt says he has interest only in
                                         commercial assets (ind, office, retail, etc.).

St. Joe                 N/A              "Florida first" strategy; Has one million acres to develop in Florida; doesn't see fit.

Catellus              Sent PIB           Not interested in entire company. Concerned about Murdock's stake.

Lennar Corp.          Sent PIB           Interested in potential JV with Bakersfield assets and maybe other homebuilding assets.
                                         Curious about strategy when private - would retain commercial assets - if not, Lennar
                                         may be interested in acquiring. Not interested in buying entire company at once; only
                                         interested in opportunities with certain pieces.

Tisch Group             N/A              Primarily an arbitrage fund. See value higher than $17.00. If Company is not sold for
                                         "materially more" than $17.00, would have interest in receiving non-public information
                                         and potentially bidding for entire Company.
